description: We derive a general mean-field theory of inhomogeneous polymer dynamics; a theory whose form has been speculated and widely applied, but not heretofore derived. Our approach involves a functional integral representation of a Martin-Siggia-Rose type description of the exact many-chain dynamics. A saddle point approximation to the generating functional, involving conditions where the MSR action is stationary with respect to a collective density field $ρ$ and a conjugate MSR response field $ϕ$, produces the desired dynamical mean-field theory. Besides clarifying the proper structure of mean-field theory out of equilibrium, our results have implications for numerical studies of polymer dynamics involving hybrid particle-field simulation techniques such as the single-chain in mean-field method (SCMF).

description: There is well established evidence of inter- and intra-patient variability in pharmacokinetics (PK) when Fluorouracil (5-FU), a key component of chemotherapy treatments for ColoRectal Cancer (CRC), is dosed by body surface area. Toward developing precision oncology methods that leverage Electronic Health Records (EHR) to customize dosing for patients, we started a data-analytics project for CRC patients. This document describes successes and failures encountered in this preliminary effort. We successfully procured a dataset consisting of five files: patient information, medications/doses, labs, vitals and Cancer Registry data. However, the dataset was incomplete and we could only extract sufficient information for 94 patients out of a starting set of 1460 patients. But we made important advances in defining single scores for complex multi-drug chemotherapy regimens, handled the problem of irregular time series, and were able to visualize the efficacy and toxicity of treatment for these 94 patients. We also made preliminary advances in creating subsets of patients, an initial step toward developing predictive models.

description: Invasion of red blood cells (RBCs) by Plasmodium merozoites is critical to their continued survival within the host. Two major protein families, the Duffy binding-like proteins (DBPs/EBAs) and the reticulocyte binding like proteins (RBLs/RHs) have been studied extensively in P. falciparum and are hypothesized to have overlapping, but critical roles just prior to host cell entry. The zoonotic malaria parasite, P. knowlesi, has larger invasive merozoites and contains a smaller, less redundant, DBP and RBL repertoire than P. falciparum. One DBP (DBPα) and one RBL, normocyte binding protein Xa (NBPXa) are essential for invasion of human RBCs. Taking advantage of the unique biological features of P. knowlesi and iterative CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, we determine the precise order of key invasion milestones and demonstrate distinct roles for each family. These distinct roles support a mechanism for phased commitment to invasion and can be targeted synergistically with invasion inhibitory antibodies.

description: Motivated by the observation of nonmetallic nature in double perovskite Ca2CrReO6 and Ca2FeReO6 with high magnetic Curie temperatures of 360 and 522 K, we systematically investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of Ca2MReO6 (M=Cr,Fe) using the full-potential linear augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the density functional theory. Our full optimization confirms the stable ground-state structure with $P2_1/n$ symmetry. The modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ) exchange potential is used for investigating electronic structures. Our mBJ calculation shows that they are both ferrimagnetic semiconductors with semiconductor gaps of 0.38 eV and 0.05 eV, respectively, in contrast with wrong metallic phases from the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The origin of semiconductor gap is due to the further distortion of ReO$_6$ octahedra caused by John-Teller effect, which drives the three partially-occupied Re $t_{2g}$ bands split into two fully-filled bands and one empty band in the minority-spin channel. With the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) taken into account, the Ca2MReO6 (M=Cr,Fe) shows high magneto-crystalline anisotropy (MCA) with the magnetic easy axis along pseudocubic [010] direction, and the total magnetic moments increase by 0.209$μ_B$ and 0.258$μ_B$ per formula unit, respectively, due to the strong SOC effect on Re ion. Although reducing to 0.31 and 0.03 eV, the semiconductor gaps remain open in spite of the SOC broadening of the Re $t_{2g}$-related bands. Therefore, our DFT investigation with mBJ has established the correct ferrimagnetic semiconductor ground state for the double perovskites Ca2MReO6 (M=Cr,Fe). This mechanism, different from that in double perovskite Sr2CrOsO6, can help understand physical properties of other similar compounds.

A cavity-Cooper pair transistor scheme for investigating quantum optomechanics in the ultra-strong coupling regime

description: We propose a scheme involving a Cooper pair transistor (CPT) embedded in a superconducting microwave cavity, where the CPT serves as a charge tunable quantum inductor to facilitate ultra-strong coupling between photons in the cavity and a nano- to meso-scale mechanical resonator. The mechanical resonator is capacitively coupled to the CPT, such that mechanical displacements of the resonator cause a shift in the CPT inductance and hence the cavity's resonant frequency. The amplification provided by the CPT is sufficient for the zero point motion of the mechanical resonator alone to cause a significant change in the cavity resonance. Conversely, a single photon in the cavity causes a shift in the mechanical resonator position on the order of its zero point motion. As a result, the cavity-Cooper pair transistor (cCPT) coupled to a mechanical resonator will be able to access a regime in which single photons can affect single phonons and vice versa. Realizing this ultra-strong coupling regime will facilitate the creation of non-classical states of the mechanical resonator, as well as the means to accurately characterize such states by measuring the cavity photon field.

description: We present a model for the spine of relativistic MHD outflows in the Kerr geometry. Meridional self-similarity is invoked to derive semi-analytical solutions close to the polar axis. The study of the energy conservation along a particular field line gives a simple criterion for the collimation of jets. Such parameter have already been derived in the classical case by Sauty et al. 1999 and also extended to the Schwarzschild metric by Meliani et al. 2006. We generalize the same study to the Kerr metric. We show that the rotation of the black hole increases the magnetic self-confinement.

description: We present the stochastic approach to nonlinear kinetic equations (without gradient terms) in a unifying general framework, which covers many interactions important in applications, like coagulation, fragmentation, inelastic collisions, as well as source and efflux terms. We provide conditions for the existence of corresponding stochastic particle systems in the sense of regularity (non-explosion) of a jump process with unbounded intensity. Using an appropriate space of measure-valued functions, we prove relative compactness of the sequence of processes and characterize the weak limits in terms of solutions to the nonlinear equation. As a particular application, we derive existence theorems for Smoluchowski's coagulation equation with fragmentation, efflux and source terms, and for the Boltzmann equation with dissipative collisions.
Detecting chiral gravity with the pure pseudospectrum reconstruction of the cosmic microwave background polarized anisotropies

description: We consider the possible detection of parity violation at the linear level in gravity using polarized anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background. Since such a parity violation would lead to non-zero TB and EB correlations, this makes those odd-parity angular power spectra a potential probe of parity violation in the gravitational sector. These spectra are modeled incorporating the impact of lensing and we explore their possible detection in the context of small-scale (balloon-borne or ground-based) experiments and a future satellite mission dedicated to B-mode detection. We assess the statistical uncertainties on their reconstruction using mode-counting and a (more realistic) pure pseudospectrum estimator approach. Those uncertainties are then translated into constraints on the level of parity asymmetry. We found that detecting chiral gravity is impossible for ongoing small-scale experiments. However, for a satellite-like mission, a parity asymmetry of at least 50% could be detected at 68% of confidence level, and a parity asymmetry of 100% is measurable with at least a confidence level of 95%. We also assess the impact of a possible miscalibration of the orientation of the polarized detectors, leading to spurious TB and EB cross-correlations. We show that in the context of pseudospectrum estimation of the angular power spectra, self-calibration of this angle could significantly reduce the statistical significance of the measured level of parity asymmetry (by e.g. a factor ~2.4 for a miscalibration angle of 1 degree). For chiral gravity and assuming a satellite mission dedicated to primordial B-mode, a non detection of the TB and EB correlation would translate into an upper bound on parity violation of 39% at 95% confidence level for a tensor-to-scalar ratio of 0.2, excluding values of the (imaginary) Barbero-Immirzi parameter comprised between 0.2 and 4.9 at 95% CL.

We present an 8-band (u*, g', r', i', z', Y, J, Ks) optical to NIR deep photometric catalog based on the observations made with MegaCam and WIRCam at CFHT, and compute photometric redshifts, zp in the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) region. Our catalog provides us to identify the counterparts, and zp for AKARI NIR/MIR sources. Results. The estimated 4sigma detection limits within an 1" aperture radius are 26.7, 25.9, 25.1, and 24.1 mag [AB] for g', r', i', and z'-bands and 23.4, 23.0, and 22.7 mag for Y, J, and Ks-bands, respectively. There are a total of 85797 sources in the band-merged catalog. An astrometric accuracy of this catalog determined by examining coordinate offsets with regard to 2MASS is 0.013" with a root mean square offset of 0.32". We distinguish 5441 secure stars from extended sources using u*-J vs. g'-Ks colors, combined with the SExtractor stellarity index of the images. Comparing with galaxy spectroscopic redshifts, we find a photometric redshift dispersion, sigma_(dz/(1+z)), of 0.032 and catastrophic failure rate, dz/(1+z)>0.15, of 5.8% at z<1, while a dispersion of 0.117 and a catastrophic failures rate of 16.6% at z>1. We extend estimate of the zp uncertainty over the full magnitude/redshift space with a redshift probability distribution function and find that our redshift are highly accurate with z'<22 at zp<2.5 and for fainter sources with z'<24 at z<1. From the investigation of photometric properties of AKARI infrared sources (23354 sources) using the g'z'Ks diagram, <5% of AKARI sources with optical counterparts are classified as high-z (1.4

description: No existing automated vehicle can operate in all conditions and environments. In order to allow unmanned operation of automated vehicles in all conditions, many developers have the capability for human drivers to operate the vehicle from a remote location using wireless technology. This practice, referred to as remote operation or teleoperation, is prevalent among industry, yet has received little attention in the legal and transportation literature. This poster describes research on the legal environment for automated vehicles, both in terms of existing motor vehicle codes and state automated vehicle legislation. The operational performance of remote operation is explored, and a model is developed to estimate the number of remote operators needed to manage large automated vehicle fleets using reasonable assumptions.

description: We describe a new method (Poisson Probability Method, PPM) to search for high redshift galaxy clusters and groups by using photometric redshift information and galaxy number counts. The method relies on Poisson statistics and is primarily introduced to search for Mpc-scale environments around a specific beacon. The PPM is tailored to both the properties of the FR I radio galaxies in the Chiaberge et al. (2009) sample, that are selected within the COSMOS survey, and on the specific dataset used. We test the efficiency of our method of searching for cluster candidates against simulations. Two different approaches are adopted. i) We use two z~1 X-ray detected cluster candidates found in the COSMOS survey and we shift them to higher redshift up to z=2. We find that the PPM detects the cluster candidates up to z=1.5, and it correctly estimates both the redshift and size of the two clusters. ii) We simulate spherically symmetric clusters of different size and richness, and we locate them at different redshifts (i.e. z = 1.0,1.5, and 2.0) in the COSMOS field. We find that the PPM detects the simulated clusters within the considered redshift range with a statistical 1-sigma redshift accuracy of ~0.05. The PPM is an efficient alternative method for high-redshift cluster searches that may also be applied to both present and future wide field surveys such as SDSS Stripe 82, LSST, and Euclid. Accurate photometric redshifts and a survey depth similar or better than that of COSMOS (e.g. I<25) are required.

description: This work was completed as part of a Spring 2020 capstone class for the Global Environments and Sustainability interdisciplinary major, advised by Professor Willis Jenkins and Professor Phoebe Crisman. Recently released goals of the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and other Islamic militant groups pertaining to environmental protection contradict a trend of human rights violations perpetrated by these organizations. The paper analyzes the possible motives behind the environmental rhetoric such as the current environmental state Afghanistan, interpretations of the Quran, and an anti-Western sentiment attached to environmentalism. It outlines the hypocrisy of militant groups’ environmental claims while validating the environmental hardships facing Afghanistan. While it is not possible to conclude a motive behind these seemingly counterintuitive declarations, it is likely that these newly released environmental goals are used to curry favor among Muslims and to further vilify Western nations such as the United States.

description: A two-dimensional system of particles with tunable repulsive interactions is experimentally investigated. Soft ferromagnetic particles are placed on a vibrating rough plate and vertically confined, so that they perform a horizontal Brownian motion in a cell. When immersed in an external vertical magnetic field, the particles become magnetised and thus interact according to a dipolar repulsive law. As the amplitude of the magnetic field is increased, magnetic repulsion raises and the rate of inelastic collisions decreases. Studying the pair correlation function and the particle velocity distributions, we show that the typical properties of such a dissipative out-of-equilibrium granular gas are progressively lost, to approach those expected for a usual gas at thermodynamic equilibrium. For stronger interaction strengths, the system gradually solidifies towards a hexagonal crystal. This new setup could consequently be used as a model experimental system for out-of-equilibrium statistical physics, in which the distance to the quasi-elastic limit can be accurately controlled.

description: Wind energy generation has grown considerably in the United States over the past few decades but has faced several challenges integrating into the electricity grid. While a number of states have implemented renewable portfolio standards (RPS) and other policies as a means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), the need for transmission infrastructure to accommodate new generation has not received adequate policy and market incentives. Transmission is critical for deep penetration of renewable energy and bringing zero-carbon electricity to customers for use. This paper focuses on the role regional transmission organizations (RTO), specifically the Midwest Independent System Operator (MISO) and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), play in providing support schemes to connect wind energy to the electricity grid. Building on existing literature, I employ a qualitative analysis to uncover what political, social, and financial conditions in the RTO framework are most conducive to promoting wind energy with transmission. My results indicate that, in a wholesale electricity market encompassing multiple states, like in MISO, institutional constraints hinder a rapid buildout of transmission infrastructure. On the other hand, Texas, with its relatively insulated social, political, and financial contexts, was able to promote an earlier, more efficient buildout of its transmission infrastructure to accommodate wind generation. Unified control over transmission planning seems to be the most effective way to encourage renewable energy expansion.
How the Housing Crisis Affects Food Security in Charlottesville, VA

description: Food insecurity afflicts one in eight American households and that number is higher in Charlottesville, where over one in six residents are food insecure. Inextricably tied to food security are issues of housing and transportation, an intersection dubbed the housing-transportation-food affordability nexus. If rent prices and property tax increase, then there will be less money available for purchasing food. If you do not own a car or a city lacks adequate public transit, then access to grocery stores is likely to be limited. Likewise, planners have largely neglected to focus on all three factors when designing affordable cities. This paper evaluates the housing-transportation-food nexus in the context of Charlottesville, particularly in regards to the Westhaven and 10th & Page community. 10th & Page is a low-income community which has been especially affected by gentrification and the Charlottesville affordable housing crisis. Likewise, this strain on housing has raised housing costs throughout Charlottesville, and particularly in the 10th & Page neighborhood. The increased rental prices and property tax negatively affect food security among these residents.

It is part of a two-year award in the amount of $1,000,000 from Arcadia—a charitable fund of philanthropists Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin—in support of the “Advancing Hyku: Open Source Institutional Repository Platform Development” project. Through this project, the University of Virginia and its partner institutions—Ubiquity Press and the British Library—are supporting the growth of open access through institutional repositories. Working with the global open infrastructure community, the partners are introducing significant structural improvements and new features to the Samvera Community’s Hyku Institutional Repository platform.

The project is making the open source community institutional repository product Hyku a more attractive dissemination option by:
1. integrating open-resource discovery tools (e.g. Unpaywall, Open Access Button) to automatically scale repository contents.
2. adding metrics to indicate usage of contents (e.g. citations, social media).
3. connecting and syncing with author identification and profile services (e.g. ORCID).
4. encouraging interaction with contents through in-browser display, visualization and annotation.
5. establishing pathways to long-term preservation services.
6. assessing requirements and jointly creating detailed, component-specific development plans, resulting in the collaborative development of new capabilities.

All code will be released open source, to be merged with the Hyku core codebase in accord with the Samvera Community’s practices.

The Galapagos Islands are represented as an oasis for biodiversity unbothered by human threats. Advertisements of the islands depict spotless beaches, otherworldly terrain, and unique species coexisting all devoid of human settlement. The reality is far from this representation. This paper focuses on rethinking the socio-ecological relationships at play in the Galapagos. Here, I analyze the ways in which the Ecuadorian populations are affected by the modern secular cosmologies surrounding the Galapagos; when looking at species threats of endangerment or extinction, who is blamed? What is the impact of the blame on the communities? Furthermore, I explore the relationship between foreign actors and local actors regarding species protection and preservation. These questions introduce complex challenges that require a socio-ecological lens. After analyzing the history of human-nature engagement in the Galapagos and addressing the ways in which the same dynamics manifest today in the first and second section, I propose alternative worldviews and present arguments for their benefits.

Breaking the Silence, Crossing the Border: An Analysis of Four Life Narratives by Iranian Women in Diaspora

Subjects: literature
Iran

description: This thesis is an analysis of four life narratives by Iranian diaspora authors: Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas, Things I’ve Been Silent About by Azar Nafisi, Nylon Road by Parsua Bashi, and Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. The four memoirs are interconnected through the historical context of the 1979 revolution, and each author belongs to a distinct wave of emigration into the diaspora which gives each of their works a unique textuality. The memoirs are examined within the framework of the culture of silence in which the literary voices of women have historically been subjugated by normative codes of self-effacement and silence. This thesis examines how the four works transgress the limits of the culture of silence. The life narratives of Dumas, Nafisi, Bashi, and Satrapi subvert the traditional notion that suggests the details of women’s private lives are extraneous in the public arena.
Analysis and Recommendations for Phosphorus Management in P-limited and P-abundant Watersheds

description: This work was completed as part of the Spring 2020 Global Sustainability Capstone course under the direction of Professor Phoebe Crisman.  Professor Deborah Lawrence served as advisor on the project.  This paper is the result of a semester of research on soil phosphorus and provides the case for an integrated, multi-faceted approach to phosphorus management.  It culminates in recommendations for phosphorus management in two watersheds, one that is phosphorus-limited and one that is phosphorus-abundant.  Justification of these measures is made, based on the projected depletion of high-quality rock phosphate reserves, the widespread problem of nutrient pollution in waterways, and the call for better management of phosphorus at all parts of the cycle.  Several methods of phosphorus management are discussed, including front-end solutions like intercropping, cover cropping, nutrient management plans, specific application of fertilizer, fertilizer treatment, and soil amendments; and back-end solutions such as riparian buffers and Resource Recovery Facilities.

description: In the long trek towards creating a sustainable society, universities play one of the most significant roles. They serve as laboratories for defining what it means to be a sustainable institution, and as educators and moral influencers of the next generation of informed citizens. Sustainability initiatives at many universities still focus mainly on technical and economic fixes, with some minor focus on equity and social dynamics. The inner world and consciousness of the individual, as well as aesthetics and beauty, have mostly been ignored as significant factors in the creation of a sustainable society. Landscape architecture is a field that has the potential to explore both of these factors through the design of outdoor spaces on campus that inculcate sustainable values in individuals and increase the inhabitant’s own sense of well-being. This work was prepared over the course of one semester, for the capstone class of the Global Environments and Sustainability major program at the University of Virginia, and was completed with advising from Professor Phoebe Crisman, who is a member of the faculty of the University of Virginia School of Architecture as well as the Director of the Global Environments and Sustainability major.
Circular design tools: (how) do they understand the consumer?

description: A move towards a circular economy will require fundamental changes in the way products and services are designed. However, tools for design in the context of the circular economy mostly have a narrow product or service focus without acknowledging the role of addressing behaviors and changing practices. This paper presents the results of an exploratory study investigating to what extent circular design tools consider and integrate aspects related to consumption and consumers. Using five circular tools publicly available, the research team analyzed how they address three aspects: circular consumer behaviors, consumer acceptance factors and conditions for adoption. Our analysis shows that although some of the tools acknowledge the need to gather insights around consumption and consumers, they do not address such aspects in detail. When the tools considered consumer aspects, they did so by acknowledging circular consumer behaviors. Rent and rebuy are the most frequently mentioned behaviors, while remunerate, retain and renounce are absent from the tools. Other behaviors such as receive, ritualize, regard, revalue, resell and relinquish are mentioned only once. The tools’ lack of consideration of acceptance factors and contextual conditions is slightly surprising, as most of them advocate for a human-centered approach to product development. Existing circular design tools could thus benefit from integrating concepts and frameworks from fields such as design for sustainable behavior and practice-oriented design.
Cosmological Perturbations Through a Non-Singular Ghost-Condensate/Galileon Bounce

description: We study the propagation of super-horizon cosmological perturbations in a non-singular bounce spacetime. The model we consider combines a ghost condensate with a Galileon term in order to induce a ghost-free bounce. Our calculation is performed in harmonic gauge, which ensures that the linearized equations of motion remain well-defined and non-singular throughout. We find that, despite the fact that near the bounce the speed of sound becomes imaginary, super-horizon curvature perturbations remain essentially constant across the bounce. In fact, we show that there is a time close to the bounce where curvature perturbations of all wavelengths are required to be momentarily exactly constant. We relate our calculations to those performed in other gauges, and comment on the relation to previous results in the literature.

description: Precise Measurements of the Higgs boson are a crucial part of the physics program of future $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders. This is true in particular for the hadronic decay modes of the Higgs into $b\bar{b}$, $c\bar{c}$ and $gg$. These important measurements would profit from further improvements of heavy flavour jet reconstruction and identification. In this contribution, the jet energy resolution and the jet energy scale of the ILD detector concept is studied for the first time explicitly for c- and b-jets.

description: We compute the non-planar contribution to the anomalous dimension of the eight moment of the twist-2 operators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at four loops. This result was obtained from the calculations of some elements of the anomalous dimension matrix for twist-2 operators with the help of a relations between its elements and eigenvalues. The properties of the obtained result and a possible relations with a planar results are discussed.

description: We investigate particles whose dynamics is invariant under the Carroll group. Although a single free such Carroll particle has no non-trivial dynamics (`the Carroll particle does not move') we show that there exists non-trivial dynamics for a set of interacting Carroll particles. Furthermore, we gauge the Carroll algebra and couple the Carroll particle to these gauge fields. It turns out that for such a coupled system even a single Carroll particle can have non-trivial dynamics.
