description: We present the detection of fullerenes C60 and C70 in the star-forming region IC 348 of the Perseus molecular cloud. Mid-IR vibrational transitions of C60 and C70 in emission are found in Spitzer IRS spectra of individual stars (LRLL 1, 2, 58), in the averaged spectrum of three other cluster stars (LRLL 21, 31 and 67) and in spectra obtained at four interstellar locations distributed across the IC 348 region. Fullerene bands appear widely distributed in this region with higher strength in the lines-of-sight of stars at the core of the cluster. Emission features consistent with three most intense bands of the C_{60}^+ and with one of C_{60}^- are also found in several spectra, and if ascribed to these ionized species it would imply ionization fractions at 20 and 10 %, respectively. The stars under consideration host protoplanetary disks, however the spatial resolution of the spectra is not sufficient to disentangle the presence of fullerenes in them. If fullerene abundances in the cloud were representative of IC 348 protoplanetary disks, C60, the most abundant of the two species, could host 0.1 % of the total available carbon in the disks. This should encourage dedicated searches in young disks with upcoming facilities as JWST. Fullerenes provide a reservoir of pentagonal and hexagonal carbon rings which could be important as building blocks of prebiotic molecules. Accretion of these robust molecules in early phases of planet formation may contribute to the formation of complex organic molecules in young planets.

description: Successful result of HTV small re-entry capsule (HSRC) project was presented. Computational aerothermodynamic analysis methods and its contributions to the HSRC\'s design are overviewed and discussed. Local heat flux peak and the pressure increase are generated due to the hot gas main stream collision onto the wall near the reaction control system (RCS) nozzle exit. Augmentation factor is roughly from 2.0 to 8.0, which is increased by the larger mass flow rate of the free-stream. Effect on the aerodynamic force and moment is significant, which is at least 5 times larger as comparing with the RCS thrust. Severe ablator erosion was not found and the precise GNC was achieved. TPS shell separation failure and collision risks were identified and the shell release air-bag was employed. Its importance on the reliable parachute deployment is confirmed by the post-flight analysis. Conventional MILES-type computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is quantitatively accurate even for the unsteady flows such as the aeroacoustic characteristics prediction. Pressure fluctuation is induced by the unsteady shear layer whose frequency changes with the flow structures such as the local shock on the shear layer. Input sound pressure level is decided based on CFD. 6DoF trajectory analysis was carried out to evaluate the sidewind criterion to prevent the turn-over rotation at the low dynamic pressure phase just after the separation. Drop test was succeeded by meeting the side-wind criterion.

subject: Multi-vehicle cooperation

description: Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are being implemented for a multitude of military and commercial applications, as well as scientific research and surveying. Because of the environment that these vehicles are tasked to perform duties in, there is a need for guidance and control schemes that are precise, yet robust. There are still major research efforts underway in the areas of system identification, modeling, control, and optimization to enhance the autonomy of these vehicles. This will allow for more advanced control schemes while maintaining the robustness that is required to operate in a diverse and hazardous environment such as the ocean. Previous control algorithms for commercially available AUVs have been generally restricted to tracking straight-line trajectories between predetermined waypoints. These vehicles will typically employ an additional control technique that allows for obstacle determination and avoidance. Again, this is generally limited to a simple line of sight detection and preprogrammed avoidance maneuver. An even less abundant and mature group of control schemes is available for a cooperative technique by a group of AUVs to accomplish a common goal. This thesis addresses the development of a robust suboptimal tracking control algorithm that will efficiently and effectively track an identifiable target while maintaining a formation with cooperating vehicles. This work will examine the possibility of utilizing a common LTI control scheme for maneuvering the actual nonlinear vehicle model. It will also investigate a simple heuristic approach to determining how to track a given target, as well as in what formation to maintain the group structure.

description: Titanium alloys are widely used in the aerospace industry for structural and engine components. One of the mechanical properties that are required in this field is the impact toughness. In titanium alloys, this property is affected by the microstructure and the working temperature. In this study, an + annealing and a annealing heat treatments of forged Ti-6Al-4V are tested at different temperatures using a Charpy impact testing machine. Fracture mechanisms are studied both macroscopically and microscopically to relate their behavior with the temperature. Mixture brittle-ductile fracture mechanisms are observed in the scanning electron microscope.

description: The ichnogenus Kouphichnium and associated ichnofossils attributed to xiphosuran activity are here re-examined from samples collected from the Pennsylvanian-aged Steven C. Minkin Fossil Site at the Union Chapel Mine, in Walker County, Alabama, USA. The large sample size offers an unique opportunity to evaluate some Kouphichnium ichnospecies. Thus, the morphological variability resulting from the taphonomic, ethological, taxonomic variability and underprint fallout are evaluated using this large sample set. Three morphotypes have been segregated from the material previously assigned to K. aspodon discovered at this and adjacent sites. Ichnospecies of Kouphichnium identified at the Union Chapel Mines site include: K. lithographicum, K. aspodon and two new ichnospecies (K. atkinsoni and K. minkinensis). Additionally, Kouphichnium-like traces that are associated with “jumper” traces have been previously misinterpreted as Kouphichnium and Selenichnites, respectively, and are excluded from this study, leaving them in open nomenclature as they will be the subject of a subsequent publication. We here redescribe the holotype of K. aspodon and designate lectoparatypes to better define the ichnospecies. New trace makers for some Kouphichnium ichnospecies are hypothesized, in contrast to the traditional xiphosuran attribution.
Effects of Parton Intrinsic Transverse Momentum on Photon Production in Hard-Scattering Processes

description: We calculate the photon production cross section arising from the hard scattering of partons in nucleon-nucleon collisions by taking into account the intrinsic parton transverse momentum distribution and the next-to-leading-order contributions. As first pointed out by Owens, the inclusion of the intrinsic transverse momentum distribution of partons leads to an enhancement of photon production cross section in the region of photon transverse momenta of a few GeV/c for nucleon-nucleon collisions at a center-of-mass energy of a few tens of GeV. The enhancement increases as $\sqrt{s}$ decreases. Such an enhancement is an important consideration in the region of photon momenta under investigation in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.

description: The finite-size scaling functions for anisotropic three-dimensional Ising models of size $L_1 \times L_1 \times aL_1$ ($a$: anisotropy parameter) are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. We study the $a$ dependence of finite-size scaling functions of the Binder parameter $g$ and the magnetization distribution function $p(m)$. We have shown that the finite-size scaling functions for $p(m)$ at the critical temperature change from a two-peak structure to a single-peak one by increasing or decreasing $a$ from 1. We also study the finite-size scaling near the critical temperature of the layered square-lattice Ising model, when the systems have a large two-dimensional anisotropy. We have found the three-dimensional and two-dimensional finite-size scaling behavior depending on the parameter which is fixed; a unified view of 3D and 2D finite-size scaling behavior has been obtained for the anisotropic 3D Ising models.

description: Tomaten zählen zu den weltweit am meisten verbreiteten Kulturen und sind als wichtige Kulturpflanze im Freiland und im geschützten Anbau vertreten. Sowohl Wassermangel als auch ein damit häufig einhergehender Nährstoffmangelstress stellen Tomatenproduzenten insbesondere im Freiland vor große Probleme. Lösungen für eine ressourcenschonende Produktion, auch unter dem Aspekt klimabedingter Verknappung, sind notwendig, um Ernteerträge zu erhalten und gleichzeitig die Umwelt zu schützen. Rund 200 Wissenschaftler und Techniker aus zehn europäischen Ländern sind im Rahmen des TOMRES-Projektes an der Forschung beteiligt, die zu „sparsameren“ Tomatensorten führen soll.

description: We discuss the properties of massive type IIA flux compactifications. In particular, we investigate in which case one can obtain dS vacua at large volume and small coupling. We support a general discussion of scaling symmetries with the analysis of a concrete example. We find that the large volume and weak coupling limit requires a large number of O6-planes. Since these are bound for any given compactification space one cannot get arbitrarily good control over $α'$ and string loop corrections.

description: This paper presents the approach adopted at ArianeGroup for the study of ignition in Solid Rocket Motors. A focus is made on the necessary stages to perform a calculation of the firing of a small-scale SRM. The first step consists in characterising the thermal properties of the propellant. The second step addresses the determination of the ignition time for a small sample of propellant subjected to a given flux. A first validation of the numerical model is obtained with the simulation of such tests. A dedicated test was designed to measure the flame spreading over the propellant surface sample. As for the ignition time, the model successfully predicts the measured velocity. Finally, it is applied to the simulation of the ballistics of a small-scale firing. Understanding elements were obtained on the physics involved in the ignition process. This last stage validates the overall approach and allows its use to the simulation of the ignition of full-scale SMR.

The lattice data have been acquired recently in the context of a determination of relativistic corrections to the static interquark potential. We extract independent estimates of the form factors of two point correlation functions and investigate the effect of higher order correlators. Our results confirm the dominance of the two point correlators in the regions of intermediate and large quark separations, and are compatible with correlation length values obtained from different approaches.

description: I have applied multiple-scale perturbation theory to a generalized complex $PT$-symmetric Mathieu equation in order to find the stability boundaries between bounded and unbounded solutions. The analysis suggests that the non-Hermitian parameter present in the equation can be used to control the shape and curvature of these boundaries. Although this was suggested earlier by several authors, analytic formulas for the boundary curves were not given. This paper is a first attempt to fill this gap in the theory.

Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Costa Rica’s Pago de Servicios Ambientales program is a “payments for ecosystem services” program, compensating landowners for activities such as protecting forests. Its effects on forest protection in Costa Rica are examined here, by examining the incidence of forest loss outside of and within PSA areas using a global dataset of gross forest loss. Several PSA contracts and two non-PSA points were examined in detail to demonstrate their regional variability and the use of Google Earth imagery to examine forest cover. Gross forest loss outside PSA in 2010-2017 was found to be low, 0.379% per year, which PSA further reduced.

description: Using the background field method, we study in a general covariant gauge the renormalization of the 6-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. This requires background gauge invariant counterterms, some of which do not vanish on shell. Such counterterms occur, even off-shell, with gauge-independent coefficients. The analysis is done at one loop order and the extension to higher orders is discussed by means of the BRST identities. We examine the behaviour of the beta function, which implies that this theory is not asymptotically free.

description: A soft ellipsoid model for Gaussian polymer chains is studied, following an idea proposed by Murat and Kremer [J. Chem. Phys. 108, 4340 (1998)]. In this model chain molecules are mapped onto ellipsoids with certain shapes, and to each shape a monomer density is assigned. In the first part of the work, the probabilities for the shapes and the associated monomer densities are studied in detail for Gaussian chains. Both quantities are expressed in terms of simple approximate formulae. The free energy of a system composed of many ellipsoids is given by an intramolecular part accounting for the internal degrees of freedom and an intermolecular part following from pair interactions between the monomer densities. Structural and kinetic properties of both homogeneous systems and binary mixtures are subsequently studied by Monte-Carlo simulations. It is shown that the model provides a powerful phenomenological approach for investigating polymeric systems on semi-macroscopic time and length scales.

title: Together, We Can: An Exploratory Analysis of Patient-Centered Crowdfunding
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: Patient-centered crowdfunding is a new, disruptive innovation that is changing the way that many patients are paying for the cost of medical treatment. GoFundMe, the leading patient-centered crowdfunding platform, uses social media-like features to help patients tell personal stories about their health situations and collect donations to help pay for care. This mixed method dissertation is the result of three interrelated exploratory research studies conducted on patient-centered crowdfunding effectiveness; that is, the reasons why some campaigns succeed, and others fail. Rogers (2003) Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) framework was utilized during the project’s conceptualization phase.. The interrelated studies conducted found donors prefer campaigns with hopeful outcomes and a clear plan, that real-life support networks play an important role in successful health crowdfunding, and that individual-level characteristics such as e-health literacy can influence donor behavior. This dissertation is intended to be a reference for further study on patient-centered crowdfunding and to assist patients and campaign managers who are currently using online crowdfunding platforms to pay for healthcare expenses.

description: We extend the theory of perturbations of KMS states to a class of unbounded perturbations using noncommutative $L_p$-spaces. We also prove certain stability of the domain of the Modular Operator associated with a ||.||p-continuous state. This allows us to define an analytic multiple-time KMS condition and to obtain its analyticity together with some bounds to its norm.

description: We calculate the next-to-next-to-leading order correction to the cross section for top quark pair production in e+e- annihilation in the threshold region, resumming all O [ (alpha_s/beta)^n (alpha_s^2, beta^2, alpha_s beta) ] terms of perturbation series. We find that the magnitude of the NNLO correction is comparable to the size of the NLO corrections.

title: Exploring the Use of Signs during Protest Activities through Social Media Data Integration: The Case of OccupyWallStreet

description: This thesis has been embargoed for 6 months. It will not be available until October 2016 at the earliest.
description: Signs have long been used extensively in protest activities, such as political rallies, social unrest gatherings, picket lines, company boycotts, and marches. Consequently, recent studies have explored the use of posters in protests in terms of their role in the overall protest rhetoric, both visual and textual. While such studies articulate the central role signs have in protest activities, the locations of protest signs and their relationship to the spatial characteristics of protest activity often remain unexplored. Social media offer a new lens through which the location of signs in protest activities could be explored. In particular, the use of geotagged social media (such as Twitter and Flickr) contributions during protest activities can provide rich information about where signs are located, what narratives emerge from them, and how they are integrated into the overall activity. Toward this goal, this research proposes an approach for integrating geotagged Flickr images and Twitter messages for examining the relation between sign locations and protest activity locations. In this approach, the Stroke Width Transform and Optical Character Recognition are used to detect text in protest-related images. The location of these images is then compared to geotagged Twitter messages relating to the same protest activity, and patterns of interest are detected. The utility of this approach was examined through the analysis of the 2011 OccupyWallStreet protests across the United States. The results suggest that, overall, signs are immersed in the protest activity, but they tend to concentrate in specific locations that are likely to have a more central role in context of the protest.

description: If primordial black holes of $\mathcal{O}(1-100) M_{\odot}$ constitute a significant portion of the dark matter in the Universe, they should be very abundant in our Galaxy. We present here a detailed analysis of the radio and X-ray emission that these objects are expected to produce due to the accretion of gas from the interstellar medium. With respect to previous studies, we relax the assumption of a monochromatic mass function, and introduce an improved treatment of the physics of gas accretion onto isolated, moving compact objects, based on a set of state-of-the-art numerical simulations. By comparing our predictions with known radio and X-ray sources in the Galactic center region, we show that the maximum relic density of primordial black holes in the mass range of interest is $\sim 10^{-3}$ smaller than that of dark matter. The new upper bound is two orders of magnitude stronger with respect to previous results, based on a conservative phenomenological treatment of the accretion physics. We also provide a comprehensive critical discussion on the reliability of this bound, and on possible future developments in the field. We argue in particular that future multi-wavelength searches will soon start to probe the galactic population of astrophysical black holes.

description: In Very Special Relativity (VSR) a gauge invariant photon mass is allowed. We explore some consequences of keeping this parameter not zero. VSR-Maxwell equations are presented. In addition, we show modifications to the Feynman rules keeping the photon mass and we apply it in the computation of the electron self energy, whose result is free from infrared divergences. A computation of the Coulomb scattering is developed and a small signal of the privileged direction predicted in the theory is present at tree level. Radiative corrections are computed and the photon mass cancels due to soft photon emission as in the standard case.

title: Oxygenation Responses to Pressure Relief Techniques in People with Spinal Cord Injuries
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: Purpose: This study measured the oxygenation responses of ischial skin during loaded and unloaded sitting in spinal cord injured subjects that use a manual wheelchair. Methods 10 subjects completed the pressure relief data collection, 9 males and 1 female, 37.1±10 years of age, and 7.1± 8.25 years post injury. The levels of injury were: 1 (C5- C6), 8 (T3-T9), and 1 (L1). A low-profile optic probe with a spectrophotometer allowed for real-time measurement of tissue oxygenation over the ischial tuberosity. Data was collected as the subject performed their usual sitting pressure relief program without cueing from the research team. After 1-hour (following a 30-minute lying in prone break to allow for revascularization of the ischial tuberosity) the subjects were cued to perform a push up pressure reliefs every 15 minutes and to hold for 2 minutes. The number, duration, and technique and direction of movements performed during the one-hour of wheelchair seated pressure relief data collection. Results: During the usual pressure relief x data collection, subjects performed 22.5 ± 19.8 (range 4-72) self-initiated pressure reliefs in one hour. 9 of the 10 subjects demonstrated a higher tissue oxygenation during the scheduled PR hour (p=<.001). Conclusion: There is large variability in the duration, frequency, and technique of pressure reliefs performed by spinal cord injured manual wheelchair users. Current practice for measuring pressure reliefs through interface pressure may not be providing the information needed to reduce the high occurrence of pressure injury in the manual wheelchair population. Tissue oxygenation is a more direct measurement of internal pressure. Understanding the relationship of tissue oxygenation during loaded and unloaded sitting conditions may lead to optimal seating assessments and pressure relief maneuvers in the prevention of pressure injuries.

description: We consider the effects of quantum fluctuations in mean-field quantum spin-glass models with pairwise interactions. We examine the nature of the quantum glass transition at zero temperature in a transverse field. In models (such as the random orthogonal model) where the classical phase transition is discontinuous an analysis using the static approximation reveals that the transition becomes continuous at zero temperature.

description: The divergences of the generating functional of quenched Chiral Perturbation theory (qCHPT) to one loop are computed in closed form. We show how the quenched chiral logarithms can be reabsorbed in the renormalization of the $B_0$ parameter of the leading order Lagrangian. Finally, we do the chiral power counting for the quenched case and show that also finite loop corrections may diverge in the chiral limit.

description: Most approximate exchange-correlation functionals used within density functional theory are constructed as the sum of two distinct contributions for exchange and correlation. Separating the exchange component from the entire functional is useful since, for exchange, exact relations exist under uniform density scaling and spin scaling. In the past, accurate exchange-correlation potentials have been generated from essentially exact densities constructed using information from either quantum chemistry or quantum Monte Carlo calculations but they have not been correctly decomposed into their separate exchange and correlation components, except for two-electron systems. exchange and correlation components (except for two-electron systems). Using a recently proposed method, equivalent to the solution of an optimized effective potential problem with the corresponding orbitals replaced by the exact Kohn-Sham orbitals, we obtain the separation according to the density functional theory definition. We compare the results for the Ne and Be atoms with those obtained by the previously used approximate separation scheme.
