description: Star formation is primarily controlled by the interplay between gravity, turbulence, and magnetic fields. However, the turbulence and magnetic fields in molecular clouds near the Galactic Center may differ substantially from spiral-arm clouds. Here we determine the physical parameters of the central molecular zone (CMZ) cloud G0.253+0.016, its turbulence, magnetic field and filamentary structure. Using column-density maps based on dust-continuum emission observations with ALMA+Herschel, we identify filaments and show that at least one dense core is located along them. We measure the filament width W_fil=0.17$\pm$0.08pc and the sonic scale λ_sonic=0.15$\pm$0.11pc of the turbulence, and find W_fil~λ_sonic. A strong velocity gradient is seen in the HNCO intensity-weighted velocity maps obtained with ALMA+Mopra, which is likely caused by large-scale shearing of G0.253+0.016, producing a wide double-peaked velocity PDF. After subtracting the gradient to isolate the turbulent motions, we find a nearly Gaussian velocity PDF typical for turbulence. We measure the total and turbulent velocity dispersion, 8.8$\pm$0.2km/s and 3.9$\pm$0.1km/s, respectively. Using magnetohydrodynamical simulations, we find that G0.253+0.016's turbulent magnetic field B_turb=130$\pm$50$μ$G is only ~1/10 of the ordered field component. Combining these measurements, we reconstruct the dominant turbulence driving mode in G0.253+0.016 and find a driving parameter b=0.22$\pm$0.12, indicating solenoidal (divergence-free) driving. We compare this to spiral-arm clouds, which typically have a significant compressive (curl-free) driving component (b>0.4). Motivated by previous reports of strong shearing motions in the CMZ, we speculate that shear causes the solenoidal driving in G0.253+0.016 and show that this reduces the star formation rate (SFR) by a factor of 6.9 compared to typical nearby clouds.

description: A simulated annealing (SA) approach is employed in the determination of different tight binding (TB) sets of parameters for the nitride semiconductors AlN, GaN and InN, as well their limitations and potentialities are also discussed. Two kinds of atomic basis set are considered: (\textit{i}) the orthogonal $sp^3s*$ with interaction up to second neighbors and (\textit{ii}) a $spd$ non-orthogonal set, with the Hamiltonian matrix elements calculated within the Extended Hückel Theory (EHT) prescriptions. For the non-orthogonal method, TB parameters are given for both zincblend and wurtzite crystalline structures.

description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents a search for direct electroweak gaugino or gluino pair production with a chargino nearly mass-degenerate with a stable neutralino. It is based on an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The final state of interest is a disappearing track accompanied by at least one jet with high transverse momentum from initial-state radiation or by four jets from the gluino decay chain. The use of short track segments reconstructed from the innermost tracking layers significantly improves the sensitivity to short chargino lifetimes. The results are found to be consistent with Standard Model predictions. Exclusion limits are set at 95% confidence level on the mass of charginos and gluinos for different chargino lifetimes. For a pure wino with a lifetime of about 0.2 ns, chargino masses up to 460 GeV are excluded. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns.

description: The quantity of small scale solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays in the United States has grown rapidly in recent years. As a result, there is substantial interest in high quality information about the quantity, power capacity, and energy generated by such arrays, including at a high spatial resolution (e.g., counties, cities, or even smaller regions). Unfortunately, existing methods for obtaining this information, such as surveys and utility interconnection filings, are limited in their completeness and spatial resolution. This work presents a computer algorithm that automatically detects PV panels using very high resolution color satellite imagery. The approach potentially offers a fast, scalable method for obtaining accurate information on PV array location and size, and at much higher spatial resolutions than are currently available. The method is validated using a very large (135 km^2) collection of publicly available [1] aerial imagery, with over 2,700 human annotated PV array locations. The results demonstrate the algorithm is highly effective on a per-pixel basis. It is likewise effective at object-level PV array detection, but with significant potential for improvement in estimating the precise shape/size of the PV arrays. These results are the first of their kind for the detection of solar PV in aerial imagery, demonstrating the feasibility of the approach and establishing a baseline performance for future investigations.

description: Despite the fact that blazars constitute the rarest class among active galactic nuclei (AGNs) they are the largest known population of associated $γ$-ray sources. Many of the $γ$-ray objects listed in the Fermi-Large Area Telescope Third Source catalog (3FGL) are classified as blazar candidates of uncertain type (BCUs), either because they show multifrequency behaviour similar to blazars but lacking optical spectra in the literature, or because the quality of such spectra is too low to confirm their nature. Here we select, out of 585 BCUs in the 3FGL, 42 BCUs which we identify as probable blazars by their WISE infrared colors and which also have optical spectra that are available in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and/or Six-Degree Field Galaxy Survey Database (6dFGS). We confirm the blazar nature of all of the sources. We furthermore conclude that 28 of them are BL Lacs, 8 are radio-loud quasars with flat radio spectrum and 6 are BL Lac whose emission is dominated by their host galaxy.

description: The theoretical formula for the entropy production rate in the presence of spin current is derived using the spin-dependent transport equation and thermodynamics. This theory is applicable regardless of the source of the spin current, for example, an electric field, a temperature gradient, or the Hall effect. It reproduces the result in a previous work on the dissipation formula when the relaxation time approximation is applied to the spin relaxation rate. By using the developed theory, it is found that the dissipation in spin Hall geometry has a contribution proportional to the square of the spin Hall angle.

Integration of Geometry and Analysis for the Study of Leaf Springs in Multibody Applications
Creators: name: Tinsley, Brian D
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Leaf springs are a suspension component of many vehicles including passenger, commercial, and railroad vehicles. Leaf springs may be categorized as uniform-thickness multi-leaf (UTML) springs, which feature several flat leaves, or parabolic leaf springs, which include one or two tapered leaves. UTML springs are usually rated to support more weight and are therefore often installed on heavier commercial vehicles, but they usually result in reduced ride comfort. Parabolic leaf springs, on the other hand, are much lighter in weight and result in a more comfortable ride and are therefore often installed on passenger vehicles. To ensure that leaf springs meet the required design criteria, accurate leaf spring models are crucial. However, the modeling approaches currently used by design engineers often make many simplifying assumptions and may not accurately represent the geometry or distributed inertia of the component. Furthermore, the process of converting solid models to analysis meshes is time-consuming and error-prone, which may lead to mistakes during the conversion process. Therefore, the goal of this thesis is to investigate accurate leaf spring modeling techniques which can be used in the design and validation process in industry. The complex geometry of a leaf spring will be obtained using scanning techniques, and the obtained data will be used to create leaf spring models using different finite elements (FEs). Leaf spring models will be integrated with full MBS vehicle algorithms and the effects of the pre-stress and inter-leaf friction will be demonstrated.

description: A powerful tool is developed for the characterization of chaotic signals. The approach is based on the symbolic encoding of time series (according to their ordinal patterns) combined with the ensuing characterization of the corresponding cylinder sets. Quantitative estimates of the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy are obtained by introducing a modified permutation entropy which takes into account the average width of the cylinder sets. The method works also in hyperchaotic systems and allows estimating the fractal dimension of the underlying attractors.

description: An extreme learning machine (ELM) is a three-layered feed-forward neural network having untrained parameters, which are randomly determined before training. Inspired by the idea of ELM, a probabilistic untrained layer called a probabilistic-ELM (PELM) layer is proposed, and it is combined with a discriminative restricted Boltzmann machine (DRBM), which is a probabilistic three-layered neural network for solving classification problems. The proposed model is obtained by stacking DRBM on the PELM layer. The resultant model (i.e., multi-layered DRBM (MDRBM)) forms a probabilistic four-layered neural network. In MDRBM, the parameters in the PELM layer can be determined using Gaussian-Bernoulli restricted Boltzmann machine. Owing to the PELM layer, MDRBM obtains a strong immunity against noise in inputs, which is one of the most important advantages of MDRBM. Numerical experiments using some benchmark datasets, MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, Urban Land Cover, and CIFAR-10, demonstrate that MDRBM is superior to other existing models, particularly, in terms of the noise-robustness property (or, in other words, the generalization property).

description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents a search for direct electroweak gaugino or gluino pair production with a chargino nearly mass-degenerate with a stable neutralino. It is based on an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The final state of interest is a disappearing track accompanied by at least one jet with high transverse momentum from initial-state radiation or by four jets from the gluino decay chain. The use of short track segments reconstructed from the innermost tracking layers significantly improves the sensitivity to short chargino lifetimes. The results are found to be consistent with Standard Model predictions. Exclusion limits are set at 95% confidence level on the mass of charginos and gluinos for different chargino lifetimes. For a pure wino with a lifetime of about 0.2 ns, chargino masses up to 460 GeV are excluded. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns.

description: We present magnetohydrodynamical simulations of a strong accretion onto magnetized proto-neutron stars for the Kesteven 79 (Kes 79) scenario. The supernova remnant Kes 79, observed with the Chandra ACIS-I instrument during approximately 8.3 h, is located in the constellation Aquila at a distance of 7.1 kpc in the galactic plane. It is a galactic and a very young object with an estimate age of 6 kyr. The Chandra image has revealed, for the first time, a point-like source at the center of the remnant. The Kes 79 compact remnant belongs to a special class of objects, the so-called Central Compact Objects, which exhibits no evidence for a surrounding pulsar wind nebula. In this work we show that the submergence of the magnetic field during the hypercritical phase can explain such behavior for Kes 79 and others CCOs. The simulations of such regime were carried out with the adaptive-mesh-refinement code FLASH in two spatial dimensions, including radiative loss by neutrinos and an adequate equation of state for such regime. From the simulations, we estimate that the number of thermal neutrinos expected on the Hyper-Kamiokande Experiment is 733$\pm$364. In addition, we compute the flavor ratio on Earth for a progenitor model.

description: Introduction: This study was a follow-up on a previous experiment which showed a statistically significant reduction in bacterial viability when using electrochemical disinfection on a single-species bacterial biofilm cultured in a 96-well plate. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of electrochemical disinfection when using a tooth model cultured with a mixed-species bacterial biofilm. Methods: A total of 60 single-canal permanent teeth were cut to 15mm in length and cultured with a mixed-species biofilm containing Enterococcus faecalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Porphyromonas gingivalis. They were then divided into five groups. Group 1 tooth samples were irrigated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), group 2 tooth samples were irrigated with PBS in combination with electrochemical disinfection (EC), group 3 tooth samples were irrigated with 1.5% NaOCl, group 4 tooth samples were irrigated with 1.5% NaOCl in combination with EC, and group 5 tooth samples were irrigated with 6% NaOCl. Results: There was a statistically significant 80.7% reduction in bacterial viability in group 2 compared to group 1. There were no statistically significant differences with respect to bacterial viability between groups 2 - 5. Conclusions: EC was found to be effective in reducing bacterial viability in a tooth model when used with PBS; however, no statistically significant bacterial viability reduction was identified when EC was combined with NaOCl compared with EC alone or NaOCL alone.
CAD Modeling Based Thermal Analysis of 60-kW Universal Battery Supercharger (UBS)

description: Power electronics devices when operating at high power sometimes face performance issues due to poor thermal handling. The main goal of this work is to get an effective design for a cold plate to manage the thermal load for effective performance. The cold-plate design should be done such a way that it can deliver the required amount of power, reduces the semiconductor losses and keeps the junction temperature in the acceptable limit. The work started with designing the CAD model for the 60-kW Universal Battery Supercharger (UBS). Initially, two designs ‘V1.0 and V2.0’ were made. The first version V1.0 did not match the power density and hence, the final version V2.0 with both the factor satisfying was made. Hence, thermal analysis was done based on the second version V2.0. The thermal analysis was done initially using thermal and subsequently, using fluent packages of ANSYS. Once the modeling part was completed, for localized cooling of SiC module, the fin-based cold-plate design was made. With this fin-based cold-plate design, initial results were taken and based on the required performance, minor changes in the cold plate were made. After testing a total of six cold-plate designs with minor changes in it, the one with the most effective cooling was selected.

description: With the reduced manufacturing cost of cameras and the progress in the computer vision field, intelligent transportation via computer vision has raised much attention. However, there remains a huge gap between academic computer vision research and application. There lacks enough attention to end-to-end computer vision system real-time processing speed. This thesis aims to bridge the gap between the state-of-the-art computer vision research and real-world application. We first address the critical problem of proper initialization and termination in object tracking algorithm and propose a heuristic method for automatic tracking initialization and termination in chapter 2. Then we work on learning the scene-specific semantic knowledge and apply them for other tasks such as vehicle tracking and counting in chapter 3 to 5. Chapter 7 describes our public dataset from real traffic cameras. Chapter 2, 6 and 7 consist of the work before the preliminary exam, which is a complete end-to-end vehicle tracking and counting system running in real time. We demonstrate the performance improvement by the heuristic method and further boost by the semantic knowledge.

description: The uncertainty principle sets lower bound on the uncertainties of two incompatible observables measured on a particle. The uncertainty lower bound can be reduced by considering a particle as a quantum memory entangled with the measured particle. In this paper, we consider a tripartite scenario in which a quantum state has been shared between Alice, Bob, and Charlie. The aim of Bob and Charlie is to minimize Charlie's lower bound about Alice's measurement outcomes. To this aim, they concentrate their correlation with Alice in Charlie's side via a cooperative strategy based on local operations and classical communication. We obtain lower bound for Charlie's uncertainty about Alice's measurement outcomes after concentrating information and compare it with the lower bound without concentrating information in some examples. We also provide a physical interpretation of the entropic uncertainty lower bound based on the dense coding capacity.

description: This article presents a two-stage topological algorithm for recovering an estimate of a quasiperiodic function from a set of noisy measurements. The first stage of the algorithm is a topological phase estimator, which detects the quasiperiodic structure of the function without placing additional restrictions on the function. By respecting this phase estimate, the algorithm avoids creating distortion even when it uses a large number of samples for the estimate of the function.
The Radial Acceleration Relation in Rotationally Supported Galaxies

description: We report a correlation between the radial acceleration traced by rotation curves and that predicted by the observed distribution of baryons. The same relation is followed by 2693 points in 153 galaxies with very different morphologies, masses, sizes, and gas fractions. The correlation persists even when dark matter dominates. Consequently, the dark matter contribution is fully specified by that of the baryons. The observed scatter is small and largely dominated by observational uncertainties. This radial acceleration relation is tantamount to a natural law for rotating galaxies.

It is based on an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The final state of interest is a disappearing track accompanied by at least one jet with high transverse momentum from initial-state radiation or by four jets from the gluino decay chain. The use of short track segments reconstructed from the innermost tracking layers significantly improves the sensitivity to short chargino lifetimes. The results are found to be consistent with Standard Model predictions. Exclusion limits are set at 95% confidence level on the mass of charginos and gluinos for different chargino lifetimes. For a pure wino with a lifetime of about 0.2 ns, chargino masses up to 460 GeV are excluded. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns.

Neutrino oscillations from warped flavor symmetry: predictions for long baseline experiments T2K, NOvA and DUNE

description: Here we study the pattern of neutrino oscillations emerging from a previously proposed warped model construction incorporating $Δ(27)$ flavor symmetry. In addition to a complete description of fermion masses, the model predicts the lepton mixing matrix in terms of two parameters. The good measurement of $θ_{13}$ makes these two parameters nearly proportional, leading to an approximate one-parameter description of neutrino oscillations. There is a sharp fourfold degenerate correlation between $δ_{CP}$ and the atmospheric mixing angle $θ_{23}$, so that maximal $θ_{23}$ also implies maximal leptonic CP violation. The predicted electron neutrino and anti-neutrino appearance probabilities indicate that the model should be tested at the T2K, NO$ν$A and DUNE long baseline oscillation experiments.

description: This study examines extant teacher praxis and decision-making regarding song use in an adult ESL university setting. This study approaches the investigation of authenticity beyond authentic texts to explore their actual use as instructional materials in the context of the classroom. It attempts to uncover insights on teachers’ practices and beliefs regarding songs in order to contribute to the limited literature on the subject. Through reviewing the literature, I constructed a rationale for the study’s research questions. Juxtaposing the dearth of information on song use in ESL classrooms with empirical evidence on the effectiveness of song use in language learning, the researcher demonstrates a clear need for further research. The study incorporates research methods aligned with a sociocultural conceptual framework by emphasizing the context through its focus on teachers’ perspectives. Participants in this study were experienced ESL instructors in a program at a large Midwestern university. The data set analyzed includes survey responses from 12 teachers along with transcripts of five semi-structured interviews with focal teacher participants. Findings revealed interesting patterns in teachers’ practices such as a tendency to use songs from the country and rock genres, most frequently in intermediate proficiency-level classes and most often with a linguistic learning objective of vocabulary, grammar, or pronunciation. Analyses of findings indicated that teachers’ decision-making on song use and song selection is driven by both contextual and belief-based factors. These findings have implications for pedagogy and demonstrate the need for further research.

description: Low-rank learning has attracted much attention recently due to its efficacy in a rich variety of real-world tasks, e.g., subspace segmentation and image categorization. Most low-rank methods are incapable of capturing low-dimensional subspace for supervised learning tasks, e.g., classification and regression. This paper aims to learn both the discriminant low-rank representation (LRR) and the robust projecting subspace in a supervised manner. To achieve this goal, we cast the problem into a constrained rank minimization framework by adopting the least squares regularization. Naturally, the data label structure tends to resemble that of the corresponding low-dimensional representation, which is derived from the robust subspace projection of clean data by low-rank learning. Moreover, the low-dimensional representation of original data can be paired with some informative structure by imposing an appropriate constraint, e.g., Laplacian regularizer. Therefore, we propose a novel constrained LRR method. The objective function is formulated as a constrained nuclear norm minimization problem, which can be solved by the inexact augmented Lagrange multiplier algorithm. Extensive experiments on image classification, human pose estimation, and robust face recovery have confirmed the superiority of our method.

Leadership for STEM Schools: Exploring Leadership and Teachers' Commitment in Inclusive STEM High Schools

Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study examines the influence of a district-driven, whole-school STEM reform on school leadership and teachers’ organizational commitment. Through a replication case study design (Yin, 2009), interview data (N=21) was gathered from school administrators and teachers across four designated inclusive STEM high schools, as well as from district leaders and external stakeholders associated with the reform. Additionally, relevant data from supporting documents and survey data (N=69) from teachers was also collected. An analysis was conducted using matrices that compared findings from interviews, surveys and documents across sites through an inductive, comparative method. Findings show that organizational leadership practices were minimally aligned with the national and local policy goals of the reform. Leadership was fairly centralized at the district and school level with reform related roles and responsibilities primarily distributed among administrative staff. Teachers expressed feeling committed to the school, while also indicating having little to no involvement in the whole-school STEM model. Recommendations include (1) building commitment and capacity among district and school administrators, (2) considering a robust accountability system at the district and school level to further align leadership practices to the reform model, and (3) engaging teachers in organizational leadership practices to support building motivation and self-efficacy related to the reform.
