Creators: name: Viezbicke, Brian D.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Solar photovoltaic energy technology is increasingly implemented in response to continuously growing global energy needs.  While legacy technology utilizing silicon has captured much of the market, thin-film solar modules are projected to rise particularly in the U.S. production sector.  Current materials utilized in production and deployment encounter resource and environmental impact constraints.  This research investigates the viably controllable synthesis of multi-crystalline copper bismuth sulfide for potential use as an absorber layer in thin-film solar cells and early investigation of thin-film growth parameters which may enable a cost-effective route to full scale production of epitaxial copper bismuth sulfide films.  The first step of this investigation has entailed a novel route for the solvo-thermally grown Cu3BiS3 films facilitated by L-cystine as a sulfur donating and complexing agent. In the characterization of the nanoparticulate product UV-VIS spectra were analyzed via the Tauc method of bandgap interpolation.  The validity of the Tauc method in application to polycrystalline films has been investigated and proven to be robust for the material class.  This justifies the bandgap assessment of the subject material and provides support for wider use of the method.  With the synthesis method established, the reaction was transferred to a custom built continuous flow reactor to explore this process and help understand its capabilities and limits with respect to producing single layers for an eventual photovoltaic cell stack.  Though the published work has established novel chemistry, the need to deposit and/or grow a functional p-type layer for further characterization and eventual device incorporation is key to the material evolution.  First evidence of continuous flow micro-reactor deposition of Cu3BiS3 has been shown with an array of resulting microstructures.  The grown microstructures are evaluated with relevance to prior synthesis laboratory procedure and recommendations are made for continuing the pursuit of a functional Cu3BiS3 coating mediated by L-cystine in a continuous flow micro-reactor.

Wages vs. ownership

description: Efficiency wage theory suggests that paying workers above the market or minimum rate can be more efficient for the firm, since the increased productivity more than pays for the increased wages. And yet, workers can be paid in stock, not just wages, and the two forms of compensation may motivate workers in different ways, leading to different outcomes, as well as affecting cash flow in different ways. Employee ownership as a form of efficiency wages has not been examined before, and given its potential to affect employee attitudes and behaviors as well as firm performance, it is worth investigating. Using data from employee surveys matched to average wages for comparable workers outside the firm, I examined both an objective measure of worker pay relative to the market and a subjective measure of workers’ perception of pay relative to the market. The general finding is that when wages were perceived as being below market, higher wages had a positive effect on a number of performance-related attitudes, but ownership did not. For wages above market, in contrast, ownership had positive effects on a number of attitudes. Whether the wages were below or above market, the employees’ perception of their pay relative to market pay was more important than what they were actually paid, which may reflect better information workers have about competitor local wages and conditions of employment. The results indicate that employee ownership may act like efficiency wages in some important respects, and may complement efficiency wages by having stronger effects when wages are above market.

description: This project explores the various processes Indivduals with Developmental Disabilities (IWDD) engage in to make meaning of their lives.  Exposure to and involvement in varied and enriched social environments is presumed to affect identity complexity and ultimately individuals’ self-concepts. Findings indicate three overarching processes at work; Recognition (cognitive level), Response (emotional level) and Reconciliation (behavioral level) all of which act at varying levels of distance from the self (intrapersonal, extra-personal: known others, extra-personal: unknown others).  These processes are reflexive and yield a foundational rationale for STOIC (the Social Theory Of Identity Complexity), the grounded theory derived from this research.  Participants adopt various strategies to achieve a sense of well-being.  Some seek to elevate their social status by a process I term ‘hierarchy’ i.e. assuming higher perceived valued identities such as a mentor, educator, advocate or  artist (which enhances their identity complexity and ultimately self-concepts).  Most of the participants work to reinforce relationships with familiar others such as family and friends.  Some also elevate their disability identity to a higher social category through networking with others with disabilities, advocating for rights and wearing their ‘disability identity’ with pride as indicated in their disability advocacy work or as exhibited in their artwork, writings and other artistic representations.  By enacting these various strategies (Reconciliation), many participants exhibit resiliency and subsequently achieve a sense of well-being (Response) which feeds back on how they think about themselves (Recognition).

The ciliopathy gene nphp 2 functions in multiple gene networks and regulates ciliogenesis in c. elegans
Creators: name: Warburton-Pitt, Simon

Year: 2015

description: Cilia are hair like organelles that function as cellular antennae. Cilia are conserved across eukaryotes, and play a vital role in many biological processes including signal transduction, signal cascades, cell cell signaling, cell orientation, cell cell adhesion, motility, interorganismal communication, building extracellular matrix, and inducing fluid flow. In humans, cilia are present in a majority of tissue types, and cilia dysfunction can lead to a range of syndromic ciliopathies, including nephronopthisis (NPHP) and Meckel Syndrome (MKS).  Cilia have a microtubule backbone, the axoneme, and are composed of multiple subcompartments, each with a specific function and composition: the transition zone (TZ) anchoring to the axoneme to the membrane, the doublet region extending from the TZ, and in some cilia types, the singlet region extending from the doublet region.  The nematode C. elegans is a well established model of cilia biology, and possesses cilia at the distal end of sensory dendrites. My work focused on exploring the role and function of nphp 2, the C. elegans ortholog of mammalian INVS/NPHP2, and the relationships between nphp 2, the TZ, and the doublet region. I found that TZ associated genes can be grouped into two redundant genetic modules that interact with nphp 2 cell type specific manner to regulate ciliogenesis and cilia placement. I also found that, like its ortholog Inversin (encoded by INVS), NPHP 2 localizes to the eponymous Inversin compartment, a subportion of the doublet region. nphp 2 genetically interacts with other doublet region-associated genes; like TZ associated genes, these interactions can also be organized into two redundant genetic modules. The doublet region modules regulate many aspects of cilia biology, including ciliogenesis, cilia placement, microtubule patterning, tubulin post translational modification, and doublet region composition. Additionally, I characterized a positive and a negative regulator of the doublet region modules.  Together, these results help knit together data from mammalian models and C. elegans, and build a genetic framework between nphp 2 and genes from multiple ciliary compartments, pulling together what were disparate threads to lead us to a better understanding of cilia biology.

Computational simulation of spherical diffusion flame dynamics and extinction in microgravity
Creators: name: Xia, Tianying
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Spherical diffusion flame experiments in microgravity are slated to be conducted on the space station in the near future. The basic flame configuration adopted for the investigations is the spherically-symmetric diffusion flame generated by issuing a fuel mixture into a quiescent oxidizing environment. Upon ignition, the flame is initially located close to the burner surface, subsequently moving outward to reach the steady-state location. H2/CH4/N2 and H2/CH4/He mixtures are examined in the test matrix. Therefore, to guide the experiments, computational simulations are performed with detailed chemistry and transport, along with optically thick and optically thin radiation models, as well as with no radiative loss.    Such flames allow for the investigation of transient flame extinction at the two limits: i.e. radiative and kinetic. A high flow rate can result in a maximum extinction Damkhὅler number (Da) beyond which burning is not possible, caused by the reduction in the flame temperature due to radiative heat loss. By transitioning from a moderate flow rate (for which a diffusion flame can be established) to a low flow rate, a minimum extinction Da may be reached, corresponding to the purely kinetic limit of burning. The dual diffusion flame extinction modes for specific mixture compositions and initial ambient oxygen concentrations are obtained numerically.
Climate change and airborne allergens

description: Climate change is expected to alter the spatiotemporal dynamics of airborne allergens and potentially increase occurrence of allergic airway disease. Climate change impact on allergenic pollen was investigated through statistical analysis and modeling of observed airborne pollen counts and climatic factors, and through simulation using a deterministic modeling system. A probabilistic exposure model was developed to study exposures to allergenic pollen during the 1990s (1994-2000) and the 2000s (2001-2010) in nine climate regions in the contiguous United States (CONUS).    The allergenic pollen seasons of representative trees, weeds and grass during the 2000s across the CONUS have been observed to start 3.0 days earlier on average than in the 1990s. The average peak value and annual total of daily counted airborne pollen have increased by 42.4% and 46.0%, respectively.    The deterministic modeling system consists of modules of emission, meteorology and air quality. It correctly predicted the observed pollen season start date and duration, and airborne level at the majority of monitor stations for oak and ragweed pollen, and performed reasonably well for birch, mugwort and grass pollen. Dry deposition, emission and vertical eddy diffusion were the dominant processes determining the ambient pollen concentrations.    The response of the allergenic pollen season to climate change varies in different  climate regions for different  taxa in the CONUS. Under scenarios of regionally and economically oriented future development, the weed and grass pollen concentrations  were predicted to decrease from period of 2001-2004 to 2047-2050 in the majority of regions. The number of hours in which birch and oak pollen concentrations exceed the threshold values for triggering allergy has been predicted to increase in the majority of regions.    Inhalation and dermal deposition were the dominant exposure routes for allergenic pollen. The aggregated exposure to allergenic pollen in outdoor environments was more than twice as that in indoor environments during the 2000s in the CONUS. Meantime, inhalation exposure for children of 1-4 years old was two to five times higher than for other age groups. Changes in exposures to allergenic pollen between the 2000s and the 1990s varied in different  climate regions for different taxa.

description: This study is conducted to investigate a framework to develop permit fee for overweight trucks using mechanistic-empirical (M-E) pavement design and life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA).   Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) is used to predict pavement performance and service life. The weight-in-motion (WIM) data of Interstate Highway 78 and New Jersey state highway 55 is processed and used for traffic input of typical major road and minor road. Empirical approach and Mechanistic-Empirical approach are utilized to estimate road usage expressed as equivalent single axle loads (ESALs).  Pavement life-cycle cost analysis using rehabilitation strategy with 2% discount rate during a 60-year analysis period is conducted to calculate equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC). Regression models are developed to study the relationship between EUAC and average annual ESALs. According to EUAC regression models, marginal pavement damage costs for different pavement structures are estimated. Moreover, sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the impacts of LCCA parameters on marginal pavement damage cost (MPDC). In reference to EUAC and MPDC estimation, a conceptual framework is established to calculate distance based, weight based, weight & distance based, and flat permit fee for overweight trucks.  It should be noted that, according to mechanistic-empirical pavement design, thin flexible pavement fails due to fatigue cracking, while thick flexible pavement and composite pavement fail due to asphalt concrete rutting. Exponential MPDC functions were developed. The sensitivity analysis revealed that repair strategy, analysis period, and load equivalency factor estimates have a significant impact on MPDC. Slight changes of MPDC were resulted from discount rate. The permit structure comparison indicated that overweight permit fee was not likely to be fair to all the overweight trucks.

description: The New Jersey Division of Water Resources' Bureau of Water Quality Planning and Management initiated its intensive lake survey program during the spring of 1977. These surveys are an outgrowth of the on-going lake inventory and classification program. Fifteen (15) lakes were surveyed, primarily based on priorities established by 208 Areawide Planning Programs. Those selected included an urban lake, suburban and rural lakes, and reservoirs. The trophic status of these lakes ranges from oligotrophic to highly eutrophic.These surveys were designed to determine lake dynamics and trophic conditions, utilizing field observations, nutrient concentrations and biological analyses and indices. Point and non-point sources of nutrients are differentiated and quantified wherever possible. Recommendations are made regarding the control of excessive nutrient loading and methods for lake rehabilitation.The intensive lake surveys were performed during a one (1) year period. Samples were taken monthly at lake inlets and outlets, from all point sources in the watersheds, and upstream from all discharges. In-lake surface and bottom samples (where appropriate) were taken during the spring, summer and autumn. Analyses were conducted for physical, chemical, bacteriological and other biological parameters.Surveys on these diversified lake ecosystems will aid ''208"planning groups in developing their areawide water resources management plans, provide basic input to facilities planning, and will assist local communities in their quest for funding under the Federal Clean Lakes Program. A second group of thirty (30) lake surveys is scheduled to begin during December, 1978. Surveys such as these play an integral part in achieving the goals of the Clean Water Act of 1977 and provide a basic tool to the citizens of this state for obtaining high quality water for recreation and water supply uses.

description: Language serves as a vital medium through which societal values, beliefs, and identities are expressed and negotiated. In examining the intricate relationship between language and patriotism, it becomes evident that linguistic choices reflect cultural affiliations and national loyalties. Patriotism, often painted as a purely emotional attachment to one’s country, is intertwined with linguistic expressions that shape and are shaped by collective identities. For instance, the use of specific terminologies, idiomatic expressions, and even accents can illustrate how individuals align themselves with national narratives. Furthermore, language can either foster a sense of belonging or create divisions within disparate groups, making linguistic analysis essential to understanding contemporary patriotism. Overall, by delving into the linguistic dimensions of patriotism, this essay seeks to unravel the complex interplay between language, identity, and national sentiment, providing a comprehensive view of how language functions as a tool of patriotic expression.

A search for new physics in Higgs to diphoton associated production in proton-proton collisions at √(s) = 8 TeV

Year: 2015

description: Searches for “natural” supersymmetry (SUSY) scenarios are presented in which only neutralinos, charginos, and potentially also the top-quark superpartner (stop) are assumed to be accessible, and which result in multi-boson final states. These efforts rely on a novel and versatile method where by the narrow H to gamma gamma resonance is used to identify events with a Higgs boson candidate, and to determine backgrounds. This provides a sufficiently clean search environment to largely overcome the small H to gamma gamma branching fraction. First, a search is performed for stop pair production resulting in 2b2H. Events with two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate and at least two b-jets are selected and missing transverse energy is examined. Then, the diphoton components of a comprehensive search for electroweak production of neutralinos and charginos are presented, which may decay to Higgs and Z, bosons and undetected lightest SUSY particles (LSPs). This latter search is then reinterpreted in terms of chargino-neutralino pair production, leading to HW± states with Emiss. The searches are performed using 19.5 1/fb of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector. No compelling evidence for new physics is found and 95% confidence limits are set.

description: The 140 m Dababaiya Corehole (DBQ), drilled in the Dababiya Quarry about 35 km south of Luxor, Upper Nile Valley, Egypt,  spans the stratigraphic interval from upper Campanian/lower Maastrichtian (the Globotruncana aegyptiaca Zone) to the lower Eocene. This study is devoted to an investigation of the planktonic and benthic foraminifera of the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) and basal Paleocene (lowermost Danian) and complements previously published biostratigraphic studies on the core (Berggren and Ouda, eds., 2012). The investigation is divided into three parts: 1) new/innovative chemical techniques applicable to the preparation/treatment of indurated claystones and limestones which led to the extraction of generally well preserved foraminifera; 2) planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy and temporal continuity of the stratigraphic succession which led to the identification of a probable, brief hiatus(?) within the lower part of basal Danian Zone P0; 3) quantitative paleobathymetric of benthic and planktonic (P/B ratios) foraminifera suggesting outer neritic to upper bathyal Maastrichtian depositional depths consistent with  previous estimates for the Paleocene.

description: L'articolo esplora l'antico oppidum di Pirae e il complesso paesaggio culturale della baia di Scauri, nel comune di Minturno, provincia di Latina. Attraverso un'analisi geoarcheologica e storica, si indaga l'integrazione tra le comunità umane e il loro ambiente lungo i millenni, evidenziando come le stratificazioni storiche abbiano modellato il territorio. Da Plinio il Vecchio alla scoperta di strutture portuali sommerse, l'articolo traccia le dinamiche culturali, sociali, e tecnologiche che hanno caratterizzato l'area, sottolineando il ruolo di Pirae come nodo significativo nel contesto mediterraneo antico. L'indagine si estende alle tecniche costruttive delle infrastrutture portuali, ai cambiamenti geomorfologici indotti dall'attività umana e alle pratiche religiose e simboliche, come testimoniato da monumenti megalitici e reperti archeologici. Questa analisi offre nuove prospettive sulla complessa interazione tra uomo, ambiente e cosmologia in un crocevia di civiltà, sottolineando l'importanza della baia di Scauri come chiave di lettura per comprendere le trasformazioni culturali e ambientali del Mediterraneo antico.

Questa fu fondata lungo una delle rotte commerciali marittime già attive fin dall'inizio del Neolitico, intorno al 9.000 aC, da popolazioni pelasgiche che si mescolarono con gli aborigeni locali, dando origine agli Ausoni, uno dei primi popoli italici. La forma planimetrica rettangolare del suo avamposto, di forma rettangolare, permette di ipotizzare che il nome Pirae derivi dall'antico egiziano pr ꜥꜣ, pronunciato approssimativamente "per-aa", e scritto con i due geroglifici: "pr" per "casa" (pronunciato "per") e "ꜥꜣ" per "colonna" o "pilastro" (pronunciato come "aa"), che qui significa "grande, maestoso".
Electronic properties and phase engineering of two dimensional MoS2

description: There has been an increased interest in the research of 2D layered materials since the past few years especially after the discovery and physics related study of Graphene, a monolayer of graphite. Layered materials beyond graphene are the family of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) which consist of over 40 members ranging from semiconductors to insulators to metals. All these materials are shown to be easily exfoliated to form monolayers which exhibit a new set of properties owing to the quantum confinement effects that occur during their exfoliation. The intrinsic thickness of less than 1nm per layer, lack of dangling bonds, controllable bandgap and precise control of thickness has aroused the interest of electrical engineers all over the world to use these materials for future electronics and make the dream of all 2D electronics to become true.  Field effect transistors made from TMD semiconductors (MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, WSe2 etc.) are exhibiting excellent characteristics namely ON/OFF ratios in the range of 108, saturation currents exceeding 200 μA/μm, mobilities exceeding 100 cm2/Vs and subthreshold swings almost approaching the theoretical limit of 60 mV/dec. Though these values are impressive, they are far below their theoretical expectations, mainly due to the high contact resistance between the metal and semiconductor because of which their excellent intrinsic characteristics are not practically realized. There have been many efforts in mitigating this high contact resistance such as use of different contact metals, chemical doping of contact regions and long thermal annealing of devices which resulted in partial success. The aim of this work would be in establishing a universal strategy in reducing this high contact resistance to provide an ohmic-like contact between the metal and the TMD semiconductor by employing their phase-engineered metallic counterparts as the contacts. By fabricating transistors in which the electrode material and the channel similar is of the same material composition, many factors, which are detrimental to the operation of high performance transistors, can be eliminated. We have gained expertise in phase transformation of these transition metal dichalcogenides and successful utilized them as the contacts by locally patterning different phases on a single monolayer flake. We obtained record saturation currents, transconductances, mobilities and sub-threshold slopes for our novel transistors. This thesis will include details of synthesis of these TMD semiconductors, phase transformation and fabrication of transistors with lowered contact resistance with main emphasis on Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2).
