Liquid phase ion mobility spectrometry
Creators: name: Tam, Maggie
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Ion mobility spectroscopy

description: Liquid phase ion mobility spectrometry was developed as a novel analytical separation method, by replacing the drift gas with a non-electrolyte containing liquids. Preliminary studies demonstrated that liquid phase ion mobility spectrometry was achievable. A miniaturized liquid phase ion mobility spectrometer obtained a similar resolving power as a gas phase ion mobility spectrometer ten times its size. A new ionization source, called electrodispersion ionization, was introduced. The non-radioactive electrodispersion ionization source produced liquid phase ions in non-electrolytic liquid medium. Visualization of the electrodispersion ionization process showed electrodispersed droplets of aqueous sample. Exploration of the sample flow rate established the pulsing controllability of electrodispersion ionization. Pulsed electrodispersion ionization source was developed and evaluated for liquid phase ion mobility spectrometry. Results demonstrated the capability of pulsed electrodispersion ionization as a multipurpose ionization source for liquid phase ion mobility spectrometry, merging three important instrumental processes into a single source: sample introduction, sample ionization, and pulsed ion injection.
Ultrafast lattice dynamics in excitonic self-trapping of quasi-one dimensional materials

Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Electronic excitation -- Experiments

description: This dissertation presents an investigation of the localization of electronic excitations via electron-lattice interactions. Electronic localization is an important fundamental process in molecular-based electronic materials. Femtosecond vibrationally impulsive excitation techniques were used to directly time-resolve the lattice motion associated with the self-trapping dynamics in halogen-bridged mixed-valence linear chain complexes, [Pt(en)2X2][Pt(en)2], en = ethylenediamine (C2H8N2) and (X = Br - and I - ), or PtX. Three sets of experimental studies were conducted: (1) The investigation of PtI, representing the weak electron-phonon coupling limit, revealed a low frequency modulation of the induced absorbance that was assigned to the motion that drives the system to the self-trapped state. A formation component, which decays within approximately a single period of the low frequency motion, is assigned to the transfer of population from the free exciton to the self-trapped state. Previous impulsive excitation measurements on PtBr and PtCl, in conjunction with the PtI measurements in this dissertation, uncover the dependence of the self-trapping dynamics on electron-phonon coupling strength.; (2) The vibrational frequency of a characteristic mode of the self-trapped exciton in its equilibrated structure was determined using a multiple pulse pump-pump-probe sequence. Timedomain excited state resonant stimulated impulsive Raman excitation of PtBr revealed a vibrational mode associated with the equilibrated self-trapped exciton at 125 cm-1. The upward shift in frequency from the final state of the intervalence charge transfer transition at 110 cm-1 to the equilibrated configuration is consistent with an increased degree of localization in the stabilized structure. (3) Low temperature pump-probe measurements on PtBr uncovered an acoustic phonon response seen as a large amplitude 11 cm-1 modulation of the induced absorbance. Using this frequency, the localized lattice deformation was estimated to have a spatial extent of ~ 5 unit cells, which reflects the size of the self-trapped exciton, consistent with theoretical models for polaron formation. An enhancement of the excited state wavepacket dephasing time indicates that the vibrational coherence properties of the exciton at room temperature are not simply limited by the excited state structural distortion.
Carbon nanotubes characterization and quality analysis using artificial intelligence

Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Nanostructured materials -- Analysis

description: Current research aims towards developing new characterization methodologies of nanostructures to estimate and model nanomaterial behavior using artificial intelligence. The proposed methodology in this research utilizes artificial neural networks and image processing techniques to study the structural and mechanical properties of micro- and nano-structures and to develop a quality estimation approach of these materials. For their engineering significance, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the main focus of this research. The proposed scalable process will dramatically improve materials design, the use of these materials in nanotechnology and MEMS, and it will facilitate full scale production. In this research project, a new approach based on artificial neural networks modeling was developed to model the aging behavior of an Al-Mg-Si alloy and to distinguish the precipitate morphology at each stage of aging of this microstructure. An image analysis algorithm capable of capturing orientation gradient, nearest neighbor distances, number density, shapes, and size of precipitates was developed. The neural networks model combines the most important precipitate parameters including volume fraction, shape, size and distance between precipitates extracted by the image analysis. It was found that the model is able to successfully predict the age hardening behavior of AA6022 in both deformed and undeformed conditions. To characterize carbon nanotube samples, we have identified a set of intermediate steps that will lead to a comprehensive, scalable set of procedures for analyzing nanotubes. Image analysis techniques were employed and stereological relations were determined for SEM images of CNT structures; these results were utilized to estimate the morphology of the turf (i.e. CNTs alignment and curvature) using artificial neural networks classifier. This model was also used to investigate the link between Raman spectra of CNTs and the quality of the structure morphology, where strong relations were found for the structural effect on the Raman features. We have also proposed a new methodology to investigate the correlation between indentation resistance of multi-wall carbon nanotube turfs, Raman spectra and the geometrical properties of the turf structure using adaptive neuro-fuzzy phenomenological modeling. This methodology yields a novel approach for modeling at the nanoscale by evaluating the effect of structural morphologies on nanomaterial properties using Raman Spectroscopy. A parametrical study of these features was conducted using artificial intelligence to determine the effectiveness of the involved parameters included in this study.

description: Background: Oxytocin is known for its capacity to alter social interactions and mother-infant bonding; as such, alterations in plasma level concentrations of this hormone are believed to be correlated with symptoms of postpartum depression (PDD). Objective: To assess the literature provided by such databases as Scopus, Pubmed, Medline, Ovid and Web of Science to investigate the association between oxytocin plasma levels and PDD in women in the postnatal period. Methods: The literature review was restricted to the following keywords: “oxytocin”, plasma oxytocin levels”, “postnatal depression”, “postpartum depression”, “oxytocin and postpartum depression”, and “oxytocin and maternal depression”. Articles selected were in English and experimental, consisting of prospective studies measuring plasma levels of oxytocin in participants, while also evaluating for severity of PDD symptoms using questionnaires such as the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Results: A total of 11 articles were reviewed. All 11 studies demonstrated a significant relationship between blood oxytocin concentrations and onset of PDD, as well as an association between fluctuations of this hormone and PDD symptom severity. Conclusion: The literature supports that plasma oxytocin levels significantly predict onset of depressive symptoms during the postpartum period. Further research is required to assess whether other factors—such as the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, or DNA methylation— in correlation with plasma oxytocin levels can produce similar outcomes in postnatal women.

description: In the process of categorizing malicious domains, distinguishing between suspicious and benign name servers can allow the name servers themselves to be acted against. Name servers do not normally change internet protocol (IP) addresses frequently. Domains that do change IP addresses quickly or often are said to exhibit IP flux, which can allow services, such as web pages that deliver malicious content, to circumvent defenders' attempts to block their IP addresses. IP flux in a name server's domain may be a sign that the name server is suspicious. This report demonstrates that name-server flux exists and is ongoing. Furthermore, there are two types of data that can reveal IP flux in domain name system (DNS) servers: passively collected DNS messages and the contents of several large, top-level domains' official zone files.

description: selected faculty representing 20 higher education institutions were asked to complete an on-line survey. Subsequently, 464 completed surveys were obtained, for a response rate of 26 percent. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), t-test, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Follow-up post hoc Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) tests were also computed for in-depth analysis where necessary.

One hundred forty (30.3 percent) were from land-grant universities; 210 (45.5 percent) from liberal arts colleges and universities; and 112 (24.2 percent) from community colleges. More than 93 percent of respondents are aware of today’s world realities and ready to participate in exchanges with China. Faculty who are more ethnocentric tend not to agree that today’s faculty should play a major role in the processes of internationalization and should participate in professional development and exchange programs with China. The results of this study have implications for higher education policies and programs in four areas: (1) internationalizing the curriculum, (2) professional development for faculty, (3) recruitment of faculty and students from China, and (4) financial support for international engagement with China. Four recommendations for future research are suggested: 1. More studies of faculty perceptions of Sino-U.S. educational exchanges and partnerships should be conducted and the results compared to the findings of this study. 2. Research should be initiated to further expand and improve the procedures and methodologies used in this study in the area of Sino-U.S. educational exchanges and partnerships. 3. Similar studies should be conducted to determine the perceptions of U.S. higher education administrators, staff, policymakers, and government agency personnel regarding Sino-U.S. educational exchanges and partnerships. 4. A similar study should be conducted to explore the perceptions of U.S. college and university students regarding Sino-U.S. educational exchanges and partnerships.
CAN THE ENVIRONMENTAL KUZNETS CURVE EXPLAIN THE DIVIDE IN EUROPE IN TERMS OF CLIMATE CHANGE CONSCIOUSNESS?
Creators: name: Lupulescu, Iulia
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: There is a divide in terms of environmental policies between the countries in the North and West of Europe versus those in the South and East. At the same time, these two regions are divided in terms of their economic development. While the Northern and Western European countries are, on average, more advanced and have higher levels of income per capita, the Southern and Eastern European countries are often observed to be relatively less developed with lower average income. I use the hypothesis of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) to explain this divide, however, instead of testing the degree or level of pollution, I investigate the impact of environmental consciousness on the level of emission tax rates set by the government. Data for environmental consciousness is obtained from the Eurobarometer Polls conducted by the European Commission, whereas the ‘Implicit Tax Rate’, which is a composite index of different forms of tax relating to environmental quality, is obtained from the Eurostat database. I use data from 31 countries across Europe for the time-period between 2007 and 2018. A reduced-form regression of the EKC hypothesis confirms a positive relationship between income per capita and emission tax rates. I find that if GDP per capita increases by 1%, then the emission tax rates increases by 2.9%. This implies that the emission tax rate is significantly responsive to an increase in the average income of a country. The second-order term of the GDP per capita is negative, which complies with the established concavity of the EKC literature. Further, I also find that the effect of the Rule of Law is positive and significant, thus, serving as the determinant of how effectively consumer’s environmental consciousness effects government’s policy decisions. The effect of Rule of Law on emission taxes is higher in the North and Western countries and smaller in the South and Eastern countries.

description: Apparue en décembre 2019 et devenue une urgence de santé publique internationale à partir de la mi-mars 2020, la pandémie de coronavirus a bouleversé le monde. La montée en puissance du COVID-19 a modifié les interactions sociales tout en transformant considérablement le mode de fonctionnement des organisations. Les universités ont été l'une des institutions les plus touchées. Depuis l'imposition de mesures de quarantaine à l'échelle mondiale, elles ont dû s'adapter rapidement à de nouvelles pratiques administratives. Cet article traite donc des effets de la COVID sur le fonctionnement des universités dans le monde développé. Plus précisément, ce document examine quel sera l’effet à long terme de la COVID-19 sur l'organisation et la gouvernance des universités. Cette recherche analyse six domaines d'intérêt. La première section se concentre sur les effets que le coronavirus a eus sur les activités pédagogiques des universités. Nous illustrons l'hybridation du processus d'enseignement en raison de la transition vers l'apprentissage en ligne. Ensuite, nous examinons les ajustements que les chercheurs universitaires ont effectués pour poursuivre leurs travaux dans un monde en proie à une pandémie. Nous soulignons comment les collaborations de recherche et la collecte de données devront changer après l'épidémie. La troisième section sert à mettre en lumière les difficultés auxquelles les étudiants, ainsi que les professionnels universitaires, sont confrontés. L'article souligne comment les universités traitent les questions de stress et de santé mentale. La section suivante traite de l'importance économique des étudiants étrangers et explique comment les universités devront s'adapter pour maintenir leur stabilité financière tout en restant attrayantes pour les étudiants étrangers. La cinquième section se concentre sur les changements apportés par les universités en matière de fonctions administratives et opérationnelles. Enfin, nous analysons le travail des universités concernant la mise en œuvre d'un plan de préparation aux situations d'urgence, en examinant principalement les mesures prises par ces institutions académiques pour minimiser les effets néfastes de toute future crise sanitaire.

description: This paper is an attempt to raise awareness about the similarities between the efforts of the software development environment (SDE) community and the electronic computer-aided design (CAD) framework community. Apparently, SDE and CAD engineers are not aware of what is happening in each other's fields, yet cross-pollenization of efforts would assist progress. Both communities are addressing the same problems of providing configuration management (CM), tool integration, and process management support in their environment. Each community can benefit from the other since both have similar needs and have found, and are finding, similar solutions. It is particularly useful to consider collaborative efforts as both communities are evolving towards standardization.
Spatial Autocorrelation Can Generate Stronger Correlations between Range Size and Climatic Niches Than the Biological Signal — A Demonstration Using Bird and Mammal Range Maps

description: Species' geographic ranges could primarily be physiological tolerances drawn in space. Alternatively, geographic ranges could be only broadly constrained by physiological climatic tolerances: there could generally be much more proximate constraints on species' ranges (dispersal limitation, biotic interactions, etc.) such that species often occupy a small and unpredictable subset of tolerable climates. In the literature, species' climatic tolerances are typically estimated from the set of conditions observed within their geographic range. Using this method, studies have concluded that broader climatic niches permit larger ranges. Similarly, other studies have investigated the biological causes of incomplete range filling. But, when climatic constraints are measured directly from species' ranges, are correlations between species' range size and climate necessarily consistent with a causal link? We evaluated the extent to which variation in range size among 3277 bird and 1659 mammal species occurring in the Americas is statistically related to characteristics of species' realized climatic niches. We then compared how these relationships differed from the ones expected in the absence of a causal link. We used a null model that randomizes the predictor variables (climate), while retaining their broad spatial autocorrelation structure, thereby removing any causal relationship between range size and climate. We found that, although range size is strongly positively related to climatic niche breadth, range filling and, to a lesser extent, niche position in nature, the observed relationships are not always stronger than expected from spatial autocorrelation alone. Thus, we conclude that equally strong relationships between range size and climate would result from any processes causing ranges to be highly spatially autocorrelated.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

The result follows by showing that the there are no effective field theory descriptions that both behave like a Fermi liquid and properly non-linearly realize the spontaneously broken boost and conformal invariance of the system.

description: This technical note (TN) is part of the Software Engineering Institute’s series on Agile in the Department of Defense (DoD). It primarily addresses what at first seems a small issue on the road to Agile adoption—the confusion of terms. However, this is a much larger issue, as ineffective communications among and between stakeholders is often cited as a significant stumbling block on any project. Confusion over simple terms is a needless hurdle. Many terms and concepts used by Agile practitioners seem to confound those working in the DoD’s Traditional World of waterfall-based environment, and vice versa. The goal of this paper is to assemble terms and concepts from both environments to show both the similarities (of which there are many) and differences (of which there are also many). A comprehensive cross dictionary was beyond the scope of this work; the authors strove to select from those terms most commonly encountered when considering Agile adoption. Therefore, the authors selected terms based on suggestions from both inside and outside the SEI, but deliberately limited themselves to 25 terms from each environment.

description: Quantum cascade lasers are recognized as propitious candidates for future terahertz optoelectronics. Here we demonstrate several definite advantages of quantum dot cascade structures over quantum well devices, which suffer fundamental performance limitations owing to continuous carrier spectrum. The discrete spectrum of quantum dots opens an opportunity to control the non-radiative relaxation and optical loss and also provides for more flexibility in the choice of an optical and electrical design of the laser.

description: Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is a powerful tool widely used to characterize piezoelectricity and ferroelectricity at the nanoscale. However, it is necessary to distinguish microscopic mechanisms between piezoelectricity and non-piezoelectric contributions measured by PFM. In this work, we systematically investigate the first and second harmonic apparent piezoresponses of silicon wafer in both vertical and lateral modes, and we show that it exhibits apparent electromechanical response that is quadratic to the applied electric field, possibly arising from ionic electrochemical dipoles induced by the charged probe. As a result, the electromechanical response measured is dominated by the second harmonic response in vertical mode, and its polarity can be switched by the DC voltage with evolving coercive field and maximum amplitude, in sharp contrast with typical ferroelectric materials we used as control. The ionic activity in silicon is also confirmed by scanning thermo-ionic microscopy (STIM) measurement, and this work points toward a set of methods to distinguish true piezoelectricity from the apparent ones.

description: This report describes the use of prediction-enabled component technology (PECT) as a means of packaging predictable assembly as a deployable product. A PECT results from integrating a component technology with one or more analysis technologies. Analysis technologies allow analysis and prediction of assembly-level properties prior to component assembly, and, presumably, prior to component acquisition. Analysis technologies also identify required component properties and their certifiable descriptions. This report describes the major structures of a PECT. It then discusses the means of validating the predictive powers of a PECT so that consumers may obtain measurably bounded trust in design-time predictions. Last, it demonstrates the above concepts in a simple but illustrative model problem: predicting average end-to-end latency of a soft real-time application built from off-the-shelf software components.
Revisiting the role of the $(n,γf)$ process in the low-energy fission of $^{235}$U and $^{239}$Pu

description: The $(n,γf)$ process is reviewed in light of modern nuclear reaction calculations in both slow and fast neutron-induced fission reactions on $^{235}$U and $^{239}$Pu. Observed fluctuations of the average prompt fission neutron multiplicity and average total $γ$-ray energy below 100 eV incident neutron energy are interpreted in this framework. The surprisingly large contribution of the M1 transitions to the pre-fission $γ$-ray spectrum of $^{239}$Pu is explained by the dominant fission probabilities of 0$^+$ and $2^+$ transition states, which can only be accessed from compound nucleus states formed by the interaction of $s$-wave neutrons with the target nucleus in its ground state, and decaying through M1 transitions. The impact of an additional low-lying M1 scissors mode in the photon strength function is analyzed. We review experimental evidence for fission fragment mass and kinetic energy fluctuations in the resonance region and their importance in the interpretation of experimental data on prompt neutron data in this region. Finally, calculations are extended to the fast energy range where $(n,γf)$ corrections can account for up to 3\% of the total fission cross section and about 20\% of the capture cross section.

description: We call a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $[n]$ $s$-saturated if it contains no $s$ pairwise disjoint sets, and moreover no set can be added to $\mathcal{F}$ while preserving this property (here $[n] = \{1,\ldots,n\}$). More than 40 years ago, Erdős and Kleitman conjectured that an $s$-saturated family of subsets of $[n]$ has size at least $(1 - 2^{-(s-1)})2^n$. It is easy to show that every $s$-saturated family has size at least $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2^n$, but, as was mentioned by Frankl and Tokushige, even obtaining a slightly better bound of $(1/2 + \varepsilon)2^n$, for some fixed $\varepsilon > 0$, seems difficult. In this note, we prove such a result, showing that every $s$-saturated family of subsets of $[n]$ has size at least $(1 - 1/s)2^n$. This lower bound is a consequence of a multipartite version of the problem, in which we seek a lower bound on $|\mathcal{F}_1| + \ldots + |\mathcal{F}_s|$ where $\mathcal{F}_1, \ldots, \mathcal{F}_s$ are families of subsets of $[n]$, such that there are no $s$ pairwise disjoint sets, one from each family $\mathcal{F}_i$, and furthermore no set can be added to any of the families while preserving this property. We show that $|\mathcal{F}_1| + \ldots + |\mathcal{F}_s| \ge (s-1)\cdot 2^n$, which is tight e.g.\ by taking $\mathcal{F}_1$ to be empty, and letting the remaining families be the families of all subsets of $[n]$.

Longing for Belonging: Transculturality and Identity in Two North American Novels
Creators: name: Tabler, Zac
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017
Subjects: identity
transculturality
immigrant
cultural hybridity
belonging

description: The concepts of transculturality and cultural hybridity describe the process of two or more cultures coinciding in a space, whether that be an individual’s psyche, a city, or an entire nation. These concepts explain how, when cultures encounter one another, a cultural genesis occurs. Within North American literature (USA and Canada), a plethora of novels depict the immigrant or refugee experience, showing their characters grappling with the challenges of learning a new culture and creating a sense of home. This paper employs the lens of transculturality and cultural hybridity to better understand how the characters in two novels come to represent (or not) transcultural individuals as they cope with the sociocultural challenges of a transcultural experience.

description: Significant economic and technical benefits accrue from the use of pre-existing and commercially available software components to develop new systems. However, challenges remain that, if not adequately addressed, will slow the adoption of software component technology. Chief among these are a lack of consumer trust in the quality of components, and a lack of trust in the quality of assemblies of components without extensive and expensive testing. This paper describes predictionenabled component technology (PECT). A PECT results from integrating component technology with analysis models. An analysis model permits analysis and prediction of assembly-level properties prior to component composition, and, perhaps, prior to component acquisition. Analysis models also identify required component properties and their certifiable descriptions. Component technology supports and enforces the assumptions underlying analysis models; it also provides the medium for deploying PECT instances and PECT-compliant software components. This paper describes the structure of PECT. It discusses the means of establishing the predictive powers of a PECT so that consumers may obtain measurably bounded trust in both components and design-time predictions based on the use of these components. We demonstrate these ideas in a simple but illustrative model problem: predicting average end-to-end latency of a ‘soft’ real time application built from off-the-shelf software components.
La réponse Canadienne aux arrivées de demandeurs d'asile par bateau: Une analyse critique des changements législatifs et réglementaires apportés entre 1985 et 2015

description: Cette étude analyse les changements dans la réponse gouvernementale aux arrivées de demandeurs d’asile par bateau au Canada entre 1985 et 2015. Utilisant l’analyse critique des cadres comme méthodologie, nous nous intéressons aux arrivées individuelles pour nous permettre de voir quelles unités de significations sont élaborées par des acteurs publics ayant participé à l’élaboration de la réponse gouvernementale, cas après cas. Inspirés par la théorie néo-institutionnaliste de la dépendance de parcours, nous mettons en évidence le changement incrémental ayant eu lieu dans la politique canadienne et l’impact démesuré de développements granulaires en lien avec cet enjeu. Prenant cette analyse comme point d’ancrage, nous soulignons alors en quoi un paradigme de contrôle s’est lentement mis en place au sein de la réponse gouvernementale. Au sein de ce paradigme, le mode d’arrivée irrégulier des arrivants a lentement pris le dessus sur la demande d’asile en trait au traitement de cette demande même. Ce phénomène contraste avec les engagements humanitaristes envers les demandeurs d’asile arrivants par bateau, lesquels engagements demeurent les mêmes que pour d’autres demandeurs.
