“Time for a showdown"
Creators: name: Adams, John Lewis
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation examines how Daisy Bates emerged as the leader and spokesperson for the 195& Central High School desegregation crisis in Little Rock, Arkansas.  While much is known about Bates’ activism during the desegregation showdown, scholars have not yet explored the early portion of her life and the role gender politics played in her rise to fame.  The precursor and backstory to the events of 195& is critical to fully understanding the role local African-American leaders organized and mobilized their communities against Jim Crow.  Episodes like the Little Rock Crisis were not random, precipitous confrontations; they were the products of decades of black activism.  Bates’ story is not just a narrative about the self-realization and creation of an individual, but, perhaps more importantly, a personal and political partnership she shared with her husband L.C.  by recovering the history of the Bateses’ activities before 195&, this dissertation explains the role African-Americans played in the creation and development of leadership for the Civil Rights Movement.

description: My research focuses on applying model-driven and IoT data-driven approaches to enable infrastructure resilience in real-world systems. Today, our infrastructure is becoming progressively strained and fragile. Consider water systems, where aging, increased urbanization, and climate change has increased susceptibility to damage, critically impacting water availability, quality and the ecosystem. Urban structures, e.g. buildings and high-rises, are highly heterogeneous in structure, use and size; energy efficiency, and ensuring safety of occupants during emergencies are critical. Leveraging IoT and AI/ML technologies will be key to the planning, design and operation of next-generation resilient infrastructure.

 Our work combines physics-based models with data-driven techniques enabled by sensing/IoT technologies to design tools to aid in better planning and informed decision making for resilient infrastructure. Our experiences have revealed several instances of “inverse” problems, where limited observations from sparse sensing are used to identify potential sources of anomalies, e.g. fault identification in pipeline networks and contamination source identification in drinking water systems, origins of highrise fires. The general setting uses incomplete knowledge of network structures with lossy, real-time data to develop a framework to answer questions such as: Is there an anomalous event in the network? Can we characterize properties of anomalous events and determine its likely source? How can local edge resources be leveraged to provide situation awareness? With people embedded in sensorized spaces, eg smart buildings, what is the correct balance between individual privacy and accurate data collection? My research will develop techniques to understand tradeoffs in designing smart infrastructure.

 Working with the national labs will allow access to high quality datasets spanning over multiple domains which can serve to validate robustness of models, e.g., to identify and isolate location-specific biases in data. High-performance computing resources at National Labs will be critical in exploring complex algorithms and executing large-scale simulations. Finally, expertise within research labs in areas such as AI-enabled infrastructure resilience will be invaluable in designing meaningful solutions for creating robust and resilient infrastructure for our nation.

Literature records.
Gusenleitner and Schwarz (2002: dot map 55); Scheuchl and Willner (2016); Ascher and Pickering (2023).
Remarks.
We have not examined any specimens of this species, but the presence of this species in Iraq is highly plausible based on its known global distribution, the map records indicated by Gusenleitner and Schwarz (2002), and the presence of this species in neighbouring Turkey and Iran. We note however that the species concept of A. bimaculata is unclear, and all Old World members of the subgenus Plastandrena require revision using molecular markers. It should therefore be considered in a sensu lato at the present time.
Distribution.
In a sensu lato, West and Central Palearctic to Mongolia (Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002; Ascher and Pickering 2023).

description: California, as the world’s fifth largest economy, has been a global leader in setting aggressive climate and decarbonization goals. The recently published SB100 Joint Agency Report suggests that California’s ambitious carbon neutrality goal by 2045 is technically achievable through multiple pathways, and the remaining challenges lie in the scale and speed of accomplishing this goal. It is critical to holistically assess existing technological readiness, supporting policies, and legislative frameworks and fill in the gap of existing pathway scenarios across sectors. To this end, we propose a new multi-layer holistic assessment of California’s deep decarbonization pathways and synthesis of key technology and deployment gaps as well as supporting policies needed for California to meet the 2045 goal of carbon neutrality. The study will involve multiple sectors - including transportation, electricity, and buildings - and will consider the cross-sector interdependencies, climate change impact and the emerging environmental justice concerns to fill in the gap of the existing emission reduction pathways. This interdisciplinary effort will build multi-layer decarbonization pathway scenarios and perform cross-sector simulation evaluations at multiple temporal and spatial scales, based on which the policy implications will be derived to support emission regulations and new policy changes. The team will also leverage their expertise on artificial intelligence (AI) to identify AI potentials on improving the speed and scope of decarbonization pathways. The team consists of multiple UC campuses: UCLA, UC Riverside, UC Berkeley, UC Merced, and two national laboratories, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The project will combine a wealth of educational and mentoring activities across a diverse team of undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral scholars on 4 UC campuses, as well as access to Lawrence Livermore National Lab and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s testbeds and high-performance computing resources. The proposed framework will provide publishable data and a knowledge base for students and postdocs and will engage professionals to develop and test new tools, advancing decarbonization and accelerating the adoption of emission reduction technologies.

description: Valley fever is caused by unknowingly inhaling the fungal pathogen Coccidioides. Coccidioides grows in the soil as mycelia segments into arthroconidia and when the soil is disrupted and aerosolized, it can be inhaled and cause lung infections. 60% of patients are asymptomatic or display minimal disease. Meanwhile, 40% of symptomatic patients may develop deteriorating health complications for months to years after diagnosis. Clinicians often misdiagnose patients with a bacterial infections. Researchers have tried to develop a human vaccine for Valley fever but very little is known about how the fungus interacts with the immune system and the lung microenvironment. There is a critical need to identify which immune cells are interacting with the fungus in the lungs and how these cells control infection. I hypothesize that successful resolution of Coccidioides infection results in memory T cell development in the lungs, where specific T cell phenotypes, interactions, and morphology can be characterized. Aim 1: Discover immunological of murine memory T cells. The immune system develops memory in response to Coccidioides as mice survive repeated reinfections and vaccinations. Although, we do not understand how it does so, what type of memory response it is, and which epigenetic changes occur during memory formation to continue to fight the persistent infection. We will immunize mice to establish memory in vivo and test for immunological memory via surface marker expression and chromatin changes. I hypothesize that protective memory T cells develop in response to Coccidioides infection that express memory T cell markers and localize to the lung. Aim 2: Investigate the lung microenvironment utilizing imaging and computational analysis on human and murine samples. Clinicians and researchers have primarily focused on peripheral blood to analyze the immune system response to Coccidioides. It is poorly understood how the parasitic life cycle works within the lung. Some patients develop granulomas to control the infection, which are understudied across most fungal infections. 10X Visium Spatial Gene Expression Solution is a new technology that will provide spatial information and gene expression data on the same lung samples. I hypothesize imaging granulomas will reveal tissue morphology, heterogeneity, and distinct immune cell interactions during coccidioidomycosis.

description: This cross-disciplinary research collaboration aims at advancing decarbonization by assessing carbon sequestration potential and economic value of nature-based coastal blue carbon sequestration in wetlands and identifying management and policy approaches local and regional governments can use that prioritize coastal wetland restoration and conservation projects as a viable solution for combating climate change and mitigating its impacts. Nature based solutions have recently been identified as high priority implementation targets in the USA (Biden climate-plan - helping leverage natural climate solutions by conserving 30% of America’s lands and waters by 2030) and worldwide. These solutions provide multiple benefits (flood protection, jobs, food, equity, biodiversity, recreation) including climate mitigation (Griscom et al., 2017). The project will include physical, biological, economic, and social science aspects as well as field and lab work and climate ecosystem and modeling, data science, and education components. It will integrate environmental justice considerations, policy, and governance approaches to develop a framework and guidelines for incorporating coastal wetland restoration/conservation into long-term national adaptation and development plans, facilitating the inclusion of coastal wetland restoration/conservation in carbon credit markets to combat climate change while considering multiple co-benefits (e.g., developing local and regional plans, funding, permitting, leveraging science, political leadership, and community engagement). Harnessing nature-based solutions that also offer adaptation opportunities and enhance community resilience and environmental justice is key to safeguard livelihoods in the face of climate change.

 Our multidisciplinary team will work collaboratively to integrate all aspects of the project, but PIs will have clear and distinct responsibilities based on their expertise. We will coordinate tasks in advance and have monthly all participants virtual meetings and annual in-person meeting. Our team includes faculty and researchers at all career stages from undergraduate students to senior scientists, providing opportunity for mentoring and professional development. A new undergraduate course focused on climate data literacy using authentic data will be developed and offered at all participating campuses.

Kinetics of fusion plasma cooling by frozen pellets

description: In a steady-state tokamak reactor, the fusion plasma has a temperature around 10 kilo-electron-volts (keV), which is more than 100 million
 degree in Kelvin, and a density at ten to the twenty per cubic meter. This gives rise to an energy density of over 300 kilo-joule per cubic meter. A piece of solid particulate, either accidentally or deliberately introduced into the plasma, would interact violently with the fusion plasma including ablation, rocket force, and ionization/assimilation. Of particular interest is the frozen pellet that would deliver fusion fuel of deuterium and tritium into the core of the fusing plasma, and a mixture of deutrium and high-atomic-number impuritites such as neon and argon for disruption mitigation, both of which are envisioned to be essential for the successful operation of ITER as a fusion test reactor. The transformation of atoms from the initial state of a solid particulate to the final state of assimilated electron-ion pairs involves complicated equation of state changes, vapor formation and shielding, and atomic processes that lead to ionization and radiation. A complicating additional factor is the surrounding fusion-grade plasma, which provides the energy source for pellet assimilation into the plasma while simultaneously undergoes aggressive cooling. The most intriguing part is the strong interaction between plasma cooling and material assimilation, which is mediated through the plasma energy flux collected by the frozen pellet through a vapor cloud.

 The proposed graduate fellowship would allow a UCSD Doctoral Thesis that performs first-principles simulations of the underlying processes of pellet ablation and vapor shielding in a fusion plasma environment, coupled with the plasma cooling due to the presence of the assimilated pellet materials. This is an outstanding multi-physics and multiscale challenge, but which has a readily available first-principle kinetic description. LANL's VPIC code, with newly enhanced atomic physics capabilities, will be used for the proposed simulation studies. A particularly important innovation here is the deployment of multiple connected VPIC simulation domains and the variable particle marker weights to tackle the strong density variation in plasmas and neutrals, which would otherwise be computationally intractable.

description: Recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) enable exquisite control over the meso-scale (microns to tens of centimeters) unit cell topology of architected materials. Yet our ability to design for desired performance is currently limited to the simplest linear phenomena, e.g., linear elasticity, thermal conduction, permeability. The development of experimentally verified, physics-based, efficient computational methods for optimal design of meso-architected materials in the high-strain rate conditions of interest to LLNL and LANL would be transformational for applications such as blast and penetration mitigation.

 We identify two major challenges in tailoring the dynamic behavior of AM meso-architected materials. First, the material properties of the solid vary as a function of microstructural features (finer than the mesoscale lattice geometry) due to local processing conditions. Coupling between micro- and mesoscale features poses unique challenges in modeling and design. Second, the dynamic response of two-phase materials is highly complex with many nonlinearities, e.g. plasticity, fracture, fluid structure interaction, shock propagation.

 We will address the challenges by bringing together a diverse team of multidisciplinary experts: Kim (multiscale optimal design, UCSD); Boechler (nonlinear dynamics of meso- architected materials, UCSD), Valdevit (AM fabrication and characterization of meso-architected materials, UCI); Begley (nonlinear metamaterials, UCSB); Spadaccini (advanced manufacturing, LLNL); Hunter/Fensin (impact systems, LANL). Focusing on nonlinearities relevant to weak-shocks in ductile metals, we will develop low-cost computational models, create an inverse design framework to generate optimal micro- and meso-architected materials, and validate experimentally. This project will strongly rely on unique facilities at LLNL and LANL: NNSA’s Dynamic Compression Sector at the Advanced Photon Source and other dynamic testing facilities, the high-performance computing capabilities and codes, and advanced manufacturing including the Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory at LLNL. We expect the impact on scholarship to be substantial across many disciplines: materials, mechanics, manufacturing, numerical analysis and digital engineering. The budget of $1.25M/year will support $330K to UCSD (Kim and Boechler) and $230K each to UCI, UCSB, LANL and LLNL.

Year: 2013

description: This science plan was developed immediately following Hurricane Sandy to coordinate continuing USGS activities with other agencies and to guide continued data collection and analysis to ensure support for recovery and restoration efforts. The data, information, and tools that are produced by implementing this plan will: (1) further characterize impacts and changes, (2) guide mitigation and restoration of impacted communities and ecosystems, (3) inform a redevelopment strategy aimed at developing resilient coastal communities and ecosystems, (4) improve preparedness and responsiveness to the next hurricane or similar coastal disaster, and (5) enable improved hazard assessment, response, and recovery for future storms along the hurricane prone shoreline of the United States.The activities outlined in this plan are organized in five themes based on impact types and information needs. These USGS science themes are: Theme 1: Coastal topography and bathymetry. Theme 2: Impacts to coastal beaches and barriers. Theme 3: Impacts of storm surge and estuarine and bay hydrology. Theme 4: Impacts on environmental quality and persisting contaminant exposures. Theme 5: Impacts to coastal ecosystems, habitats, and fish and wildlife.

description: Soil amended with poultry manure has many benefits including increased nutrient and organic carbon supply, enhanced soil structure and improved crop yield. However, the direct application of poultry manure to land can be associated with significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Black soldier fly (BSF) farming (Hermetia illucens) is an emerging technology that can convert manure into protein for animal feed, with larvae casting or frass produced as a waste by-product. BSF frass produced from poultry manure has potential to be used as a soil amendment with potentially lower GHG emissions than manure, but this has not been tested. To test this, a two-week microcosm experiment was used to investigate the impact of different soil amendments (poultry manure, BSF frass from poultry manure, urea and an unamended control) on nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions. This study also aimed to examine bacterial populations associated with frass and poultry manure, as well as factors regulating their composition and the production of GHGs. Frass produced by BSF larvae fed poultry manure had up to 1.4 times lower N2O and 1.5 times lower CO2 cumulative emissions than poultry manure. Methane emissions were either minimal and/or balanced by oxidation across all treatments. Processing poultry manure with BSFL also altered the bacterial community composition and resulted in a proliferation of bacteria that were specific to BSFL frass, some of which have putative plant growth promoting properties. These results indicate that BSF technology holds promise for both reducing greenhouse gas emissions from poultry manure, as well as providing a sustainable soil amendment for productive agriculture.

Surveys of stakeholder groups
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: As part of a comprehensive stakeholder engagement process, the New Jersey Climate Adaptation Alliance conducted a series of online surveys targeting the following stakeholder and practice-specific audiences: Agriculture, Coastal Communities, Emergency Managers, Land Conservationists, Natural Resources,Planners, Public Health Officers, Social Services, and Water Utilities. These surveys complement workshops and listening sessions held with key representatives from each sector.Due to variations in sample size, and because most of the questions differed from survey to survey, any overall summary or comparison of the results between groups would be very limited. However, a few patterns emerged across all the surveys, and somestrong preferences or perceptions from certain stakeholder groups can be highlighted: Impact of recent Hurricanes on large majority of respondents; concerns about flooding and extreme weather events; perception of improved coordination as a high priority; challenges to achieving preparedness; need to assess and address resiliency of critical infrastructure; and support for green infrastructure.
