After accounting for surface scattering, the remaining loss is due to sub-bandgap absorption in the bulk and on the surfaces. We observe the absorption is, on average, 80 percent greater in AlGaAs than in GaAs and in both materials is 540 percent higher at 980 nm than at 1600nm.

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The purpose of this study was to: 1) assist KyTC in identifying protective coatings lor structural steel that would meet current and pending environmental regulations, I and 2) to evaluate overcoating procedures that would be cost-effective and provide regulatory (OSHA and EPA) compliance.  A coatings research program was conducted that included: 1) laboratory accelerated corrosion/weathering tests, 2) field exposure tests, and 3) experimental maintenance I painting of entire bridges by overcoating. Each of those tasks was intended to address different issues. Regulations concerning volatile organic compound limits lor coating systems used in new construction were studied and recommendations provided to KyTC on new systems that would provide potential advantages in application I and performance.  The laboratory testing was used to evaluate seven candidate overcoating systems and three new construction coatings systems. Field exposure tests consisted of coatings patches applied to bridges and scrap steel. Those tests provided useful information concerning the durability of candidate maintenance coatings and the practicality of experimental application procedures. Eighteen complete bridge maintenance painting projects were conducted the KyTC experimental overcoating program that employed experimental specifications and coatings system. Those projects were inspected prior to, during and subsequent to completion. Long-term performance of most projects has been very good.

description: The spin-1/2 Hamiltonian for two coupled isosceles Heisenberg triangles, which is well suited for describing the V$_6$-type magnetic molecules, is studied by exact diagonalization. The quantum phase transition diagram, at zero temperature, is obtained as a function of the theoretical parameters. The zero temperature magnetization is also obtained as a function of the external magnetic field. The thermodynamic behavior of the magnetization, entropy, susceptibility, and specific heat, as a function of temperature, are also computed and the corresponding magnetocaloric effect analyzed for various values of the Hamiltonian parameters.

description: This paper explores the use of hypervisor-based virtualization technology as a means to enable power management in server systems. Our approach focuses on the dynamic mapping of physical processors and hosts to virtual machines. We have developed a multi-tiered infrastructure that enables dynamic migration of virtual machine execution flow at two different levels: within and across computer nodes. Within a node, our infrastructure dynamically allocates and re-allocates virtual processors to their physical counterparts. Across nodes, our infrastructure employs live migration to relocate complete guest operating system instances to distinct physical hosts.

description: In a remarkable paper from 1852, Gotthilf Heinrich Ludwig Hagen measured and explained two fundamental aspects of granular matter: The first effect is the saturation of pressure with depth in a static granular system confined by silo walls -- generally known as the Janssen effect. The second part of his paper describes the dynamics observed during the flow out of the container -- today often called the Beverloo law -- and forms the foundation of the hourglass theory. The following is a translation of the original German paper from 1852.

Rockfall Mitigation Measures

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Highways in Kentucky contain numerous rock slopes and rockfall from these slopes represent potential dangers to motorists. As these highway rock cut slopes age and deteriorate because of weathering, the potential for rockfall and rock slides increases. Some bodily injuries and traffic fatalities have been reported in past years. The general aims of this study were to establish a highway rock cut slope policy and devise a statewide system of dealing with this problem. This study represents the start of an effort by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to develop a proactive stance and policy toward preventing, minimizing, or mitigating the rockfall problem on the Cabinet's highways and to establish a rockfall risk management program. As this study shows, the vast majority of rockfall problems in Kentucky occur in counties located east of Interstate 75. Preliminary rockfall hazardous ratings of all rock cut slopes­ – some 5270 slopes – on the Interstates, Parkways, and most Primary routes were performed using the rockfall hazardous rating system (RHRS) devised by Pierson and Vickle of Oregon DOT. This approach appears to be a good system for rating the potential for rockfall at a given highway rock cut location. Some 180 slopes were identified as hazardous. Detailed numerical ratings were performed at those locations. Differential weathering and structural characteristics – jointing and unfavorable orientations – were the major causes of rockfall. Few mitigation measures have been used on Kentucky's highways. For the sedimentary rock strata in Kentucky, benching of rock slopes appears to be very effective in preventing, or mitigating, rockfall on Kentucky's highways. The rock cut slope design guidelines used by the Cabinet appear to be sound. The basic problem is not design standards, but the fact that many of the highway rock slopes are aging, weathering, and deteriorating. With aging, rockfall problems will continue to increase with time. The computer rockfall simulation program devised by Colorado engineers was used to analyze several case studies of rockfall. This program appears to a very good analytical tool for assessing the stability and safety of existing rock slopes and newly designed rock slopes and will be useful in devising remedial and mitigating plans at rockfall sites.

description: This report documents findings of the investigation of pipe edge drains and outlets on the Pennyrile Parkway from Milepost 60.476 to Milepost 65.305 in Webster County. The study was initiated due to concerns from District 2 personnel that possible failures in the edge drains were causing pavement distress along the right wheel path. Findings from this study indicated that approximately 40 percent of the 123 edge drain outlets were less than 50 to 60 percent open. The round perforated pipe edge drain appeared to be in excellent condition, including the integrity of the pipe and the filter material. The sand backfill appeared to be clean and free of fines. The pipe did appear to be installed too high in the trench. It was apparent that the sand and subgrade under the pipe was not draining and was staying saturated. Crushed perforated cross drains, water standing in ditch lines, and improper placement of outlet T's appear to be causing additional distress to the pavement system.

description: This report documents findings of the investigation of five different brands of panel edge drains installed in a test section along Interstate 81 in Roanoke, Virginia, from Milepost 154.148 to Milepost 156.11. Findings from this study indicated that closed core edge drains (Multi-Flow, Advanedge) are less likely to become damaged or distressed than the more open core drains (Contech, Akwadrain, Hydraway). Typical distress found in the more open cores was rolling over of the top row of support columns, fabric intrusion between support columns, and rolling up of the bottom row of support columns.

description: This report documents findings of the investigation of edge drains and their associated outlets on Interstate 64 from Milepost 65 to Milepost 75.6 in Fayette, Scott, and Woodford Counties. The study was initiated due to significant amounts of water and fines coming up through the AC surface. State and Federal Officials were concerned that possible failures in the edge drains were causing pumping and staining which will ultimately lead to premature pavement failure. Several factors appear to be contributing to the staining and pumping at the surface. These factors are discussed in the report.

Properties of Voids in the 2dFGRS Galaxy Survey
Creators: name: Tikhonov, Anton V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A method for detecting voids in the galaxy distribution is presented. Using this method, we have identified 732 voids with a radius of the seed sphere Rseed > 4.0h^{-1}Mpc in a volume-limited sample of galaxies from the southern part of the 2dFGRS survey. 110 voids with Rseed > 9.0h^{-1}Mpc have a positive significance. The mean volume of such voids is 19000 h^{-3}Mpc^3. Voids with Rseed > 9.0h^{-1}Mpc occupy 55% of the sample volume. We construct a dependence of the volumes of all the identified voids on their ranks and determine parameters of the galaxy distribution. The dependence of the volume of voids on their rank is consistent with a fractal model (Zipf's power law) of the galaxy distribution with a fractal dimension D ~ 2.1 (given the uncertainty in determining the dimension using our method and the results of a correlation analysis) up to scales of 25h^{-1}Mpc with the subsequent transition to homogeneity. The directions of the greatest elongations of voids and their ellipticities (oblateness) are determined from the parameters of equivalent ellipsoids. The directions of the greatest void elongations have an enhanced concentration to the directions perpendicular to the line of sight.

description: We study compactified pure gauge/gravitational theories with gauge-fixing terms and show that these theories possess quantum mechanical SUSY-like symmetries between unphysical degrees of freedom. These residual symmetries are global symmetries and generated by quantum mechanical N=2 supercharges. Also, we establish new one-parameter family of gauge choices for higher-dimensional gravity, and calculate as a check of its validity one graviton exchange amplitude in the lowest tree-level approximation. We confirm that the result is indeed $ξ$-independent and the cancellation of the $ξ$-dependence is ensured by the residual symmetries. We also give a simple interpretation of the vDVZ-discontinuity, which arises in the lowest tree-level approximation, from the supersymmetric point of view.

description: We consider the bound states of the massive scalar field around a rotating black hole immersed in the asymptotically uniform magnetic field. In the regime of slow black hole rotation, the Klein-Gordon equation allows separation of variables. We show that the growth rate of the instability can be amplified a few times by the magnetic field. The effect occurs because the magnetic field adds the "effective mass" term $B |m|$ to the scalar field potential for a Kerr black hole. In addition, and as a by-product, we discuss the behavior of the quasinormal modes for the magnetized rotating black holes.

The oxygen abundance in the inner HII regions of M101. Implications for the calibration of strong-line metallicity indicators
Creators: name: Bresolin, Fabio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I present deep spectroscopy of four HII regions in the inner, metal-rich zone of the spiral galaxy M101 obtained with the LRIS spectrograph at the Keck telescope. From the analysis of the collisionally excited lines in two of the target HII regions, H1013 and H493, I have obtained oxygen abundances 12+log(O/H)=8.52 and 12+log(O/H)=8.74, respectively. These measurements extend the determination of the oxygen abundance gradient of M101 via the direct method to only 3 kpc from the center. The intensity of the CII 4267 line in H1013 leads to a carbon abundance 12+log(C/H)=8.66, corresponding to nearly twice the solar value. From a comparison of the continuum temperature derived from the Balmer discontinuity, T(Bac)=5000 K, and the line temperature derived from [OIII]4363/5007, T[OIII]=7700 K, an average temperature T0=5500 K and a mean square temperature fluctuation t^2=0.06 have been derived. Accounting for the spatial inhomogeneity in temperature raises the oxygen abundance obtained from the oxygen auroral lines to 12+log(O/H)=8.93. These findings are discussed in the context of the calibration of strong-line metallicity indicators, in particular of the upper branch of R23. There is no evidence for the strong abundance biases arising from temperature gradients predicted theoretically for metal-rich HII regions.

The International avocado market: Mexican entrance to the USA market illustrated with a spatial eqilibrium model
Creators: name: Salas-Romero, Francisco Miguel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In 1997 the United States partially lifted its import ban on Mexican avocados. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the impact of the entrance of Mexican avocados into the United States on international avocado markets. The international market for avocados is significant: about 200 thousand metric tonnes are traded world-wide every year with an estimated value of $280 million US dollars. The main exporter is Mexico, followed by Israel, South Africa, Spain and the United States. These countries compete mainly in the European market as suppliers of France, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, and even Japan and Canada. The United States, an important avocado-producer, is also an importer. Because of its proximity, Mexico would likely be a source of avocados for the US. Yet imports from Mexico have been banned since 1916 to avoid plagues infiltrating the producing areas of California and Florida. A Spatial Equilibrium Model, is used to portray the international avocado market with five importing and five exporting countries. The exporters are Mexico, United States (California), Chile, Israel and ROWE (other exporter countries). Importers are France, United States (19 Northeast states), Canada, Japan and ROWI (rest of the world importers). Two scenarios are presented: one with a ban on Mexican exports to the United States and the other one without restrictions to trade. The impact of the change in US policy is determined by comparing these two scenarios. The results of the empirical model indicate that Mexico will export 27,000 MT of avocados to the Northeast of the US. Producers from Michoacan, the only region in Mexico authorised to export to the US, receive a moderate increase in producer surplus. California will shift its supply to Canada and Japan and its market share of the U.S. Northeast will decrease to 8,500 MT. California will also begin shipping to the ROWI market (21,000 MT). Overall, Californian producers will experience a decline in welfare due to a decrease in prices. Chile will remain an exporter into the USA-NE with 14,400 MT but its producers will be negatively affected. France receives fewer avocados from Mexico and this causes Israel to increase exports to compensate for the lack of Mexican supply. The internal price in France will increase, thus resulting in reduced consumer surplus. Overall, the simulated effects on Mexico's entrance into the U.S. market are relatively small and less significant than expected. A sensitivity analysis revealed that changes in transportation costs and elasticities have a small to moderate impact on the main results.

description: Energy is the most limiting resource in sensor networks. This is particularly true for dynamic sensor networks in which the sensor-net application is not statically planned. We describe three components of our energy management system for nodes in such dynamic sensor networks: A flexible energy model and an accounting infrastructure for making sensor nodes energy-aware, and Resource Containers for managing the energy accounting information.

description: This volume covers Leg 28 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel Glomar Challenger. The drilling vessel Glomar Challenger departed Fremantle, Australia on 20 December 1972 for Antarctic waters south of Australia and New Zealand. Leg 28 was designed to explore the long-term glacial, climatic, biostratigraphic, and geologic history of the South Pole continent and its environs. The leg was in a sense a test case for the operational feasibility of drilling at high latitudes, under severe weather and iceberg conditions. In addition, several holes were planned for the Ross Sea continental shelf in water depths of about 500 meters, much shallower than any previous successful attempts by DSDP. Additionally, several holes were planned to investigate the problems of sea-floor spreading and continental drift between Australia and Antarctica and the history of circumpolar circulation and associated deep-sea sedimentation processes. During the voyage a total of 16 holes was drilled at 11sites and 1404 meters of sediment recovered. A total of 7400 nautical miles was steamed during the port-to-port transit.

PREVENTION OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES
Creators: name: Andijan State Medical Institute Endosurgery, endourology and senior teacher of the department of dentistry Abdurakhmonova Mukhayokhan Abdurakhimovna
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The article presents examples of the use of various methods of temporary teeth splinting. The main task of the temporary bite of teeth with damage to the periodontal tissue is to lower and unite the teeth with subsequent fixation of the weakened periodontal tissue in the presence of a damaged articulation or formed traumatic knots. Temporary structures and various splint devices fix mobile teeth and optimally distribute the chewing load to mobile teeth, teeth with sufficiently well-preserved periodontium, and teeth that do not participate in all chewing movements.

Key words: Stomatology, orthopedic dentistry, tooth splint, tooth mobility, periodontal disease, temporary splinting.

description: Large graphs are natural mathematical models for describing the structure of the data in a wide variety of fields, such as web mining, social networks, information retrieval, biological networks, etc. For all these applications, automatic tools are required to get a synthetic view of the graph and to reach a good understanding of the underlying problem. In particular, discovering groups of tightly connected vertices and understanding the relations between those groups is very important in practice. This paper shows how a kernel version of the batch Self Organizing Map can be used to achieve these goals via kernels derived from the Laplacian matrix of the graph, especially when it is used in conjunction with more classical methods based on the spectral analysis of the graph. The proposed method is used to explore the structure of a medieval social network modeled through a weighted graph that has been directly built from a large corpus of agrarian contracts.

description: We introduce exposure as a means to making balanced comparisons of the sensitivities of long-baseline neutrino experiments to a nonzero θ_{13}, to CP violation and to the neutrino mass hierarchy. We illustrate its use by comparing the sensitivities of possible upgrades of superbeam experiments, namely NOvA*, T2KK and experiments with wide band beams. For the proposed exposures, we find the best nominal CP violation performance for T2KK. For equal exposures, a wide band beam experiment has the best mass hierarchy performance. The physics concept on which NOvA* is based has the best potential for discovering CP violation only for exposures above a threshold value.

Summary of Results of 1995 Field and Laboratory Evaluations of Pavement Marking Materials
Creators: name: Kentucky Transportation Center
Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: This report summarizes the results of data collected as part of the 1995 field and laboratory evaluations of pavement marking materials for the National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP). The purpose of the NTPEP is to pool the professional and physical resources of the individual participating AASHTO member departments and to focus those resources to test materials of common interest in order to improve cost-effectiveness.  The type of testing performed under the NTPEP provides information that will be used to evaluate the acceptability of materials and to compare the performance of similar materials. The NTPEP also provides industry with a central focal point to initiate the process of supplying materials to many organizations through one sample submission rather than separate samples of the same material to each organization. The NTPEP does not accept or reject material, but rather, provides test results for evaluation.

The effect of forbidden transitions on cosmological hydrogen and helium recombination
Creators: name: Wong, Wan Yan
name: Scott, Douglas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: More than half of the atoms in the Universe recombined via forbidden transitions, so that accurate treatment of the forbidden channels is important in order to follow the cosmological recombination process with the level of precision required by future microwave anisotropy experiments. We perform a multi-level calculation of the recombination of hydrogen (H) and helium (He) with the addition of the triplet 2P to singlet 1S spin-forbidden transition for neutral helium (He I), plus the nS--1S and nD--1S two-photon transitions for H (up to n=40) and among singlet states of He I (n<=10 and l<=7). The potential importance of such transitions was first proposed by Dubrovich & Grachev (2005) using an effective three-level atom model. Here, we relax the thermal equilibrium assumption among the higher excited states to investigate the effect of these extra forbidden transitions on the ionization fraction x_e and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) angular power spectrum C_l. The spin-forbidden transition brings more than a percent change in x_e. The two-photon transitions may also give non-negligible effects, but currently accurate rates exist only for n<=3. We find that changes in both x_e and C_l would be at about the percent level with the approximate rates given by Dubrovich & Grachev (2005). However, the two-photon rates from 3S to 1S and 3D to 1S of H appear to have been overestimated, and our best numerical calculation puts the effect on x_e and C_l at below the percent level. Nevertheless, we do not claim that we have the definite answer, since several issues remain open; sub-percent level computation of the C_ls requires improved calculations of atomic transition rates as well as increasingly complex multi-level atom calculations.

description: This study examines the relationship between psychological well-being and academic performance among 545 tertiary students in the Philippines. Correlation research suggests that psychological well-being and academic performance are significantly related. In conclusion, this study indicates that most students exhibit a positive attitude toward themselves and their environment, are self-autonomous, capable of maintaining positive relationships with others, have a clear sense of purpose and direction in life, and engage in continuous personal growth and development. This study shows that universities should develop ongoing programs to assist students, particularly those with low psychological well-being, given the association between psychological well-being and academic performance.
Evaluation of Portable Retroflectometers

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Portable retroreflectometers have been used to compare the reflectivity of the various pavement marking materials. The Mirolux 12 has been used to collect reflectivity data for the products tested for the National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP). The Mirolux 12 docs not have a 30 meter geometry, and there has been a desire to explore the possibility of using a retroreflectometer which has a 30 meter geometry which may better simulate the view of a driver. The objective of this report is to compare data taken with the Mirolux 12 and two other portable retroflectometers having the 30 meter geometry.
