title: The geographical dimensions of patent innovation: history, precedents, praxis, and pedagogy, in an expanded field of landscape technology
Creators: name: Hindle, Richard
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Innovation has geographical dimensions, ranging from site and building technology, to infrastructure and environmental systems. As the allied professions of environmental design expand disciplinary scope beyond aesthetics into questions of territory, landscape infrastructure, performance-based design, and issues related to climate adaptation and the Anthropocene, an expanded concept of technology and innovation becomes essential to address new pedagogical adjectives and praxis. One of the most effective ways to track technological change in a specific sector of technology is through patent innovation. The global patent archive is the world’s largest technological dossier. An estimated 90 million patents have been granted globally, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) alone has issued more than 10 million patents since 1790. A unique subset of these inventions relate to site and building technology as well as large-scale environmental systems such as rivers, coasts, and cities. Since patent innovation is an ongoing process, patent documents provide insights into the ever-evolving sectors of technology, which may be understood as an expanded field of landscape technologies that define site, cities, and regions. This paper explores the histories of patent innovation related to the physical built environment and argues for an expanded definition of “Landscape Technology”. The paper also includes examples of New pedagogical approaches that integrate patent innovation studies into environmental design curriculum, and a discussion of strategies for implementing novel technologies and patent innovation studies into professional design projects.

description: We investigate the nature of the chemical composition of the outer disc open cluster Tombaugh 2, that a recent study by Frinchaboy et al. (2008) suggested to possess an intrinsic metal abundance dispersion. We aim to investigate such claims by high resolution spectra obtained for a number of stars in the Tombaugh 2 field, together with independent UBVIc photometry. The spectra, together with input atmospheric parameters and model atmospheres, are used to determine detailed chemical abundances for a variety of elements in 13 members having good spectra. We find the mean metallicity to be [Fe/H]=-0.31+-0.02 with no evidence for an intrinsic abundance dispersion, in contrary to the recent results of Frinchaboy et al. (2008). We find Ca and Ba to be slightly enhanced while Ni and Sc are solar. The r-process element Eu was found to be enhanced, giving an average [Eu/Ba]=+0.17. The Li abundance decreases with Teff on the upper giant branch and maintains a low level for red clump stars. The mean metallicity we derive is in good agreement with that expected from the radial abundance gradient in the disc for a cluster at its Galactocentric distance. The surprising result found by Frinchaboy et al. (2008), that is the presence of 2 distinct abundance groups within the cluster, implying either a completely unique open cluster with an intrinsic metallicity spread, or a very unlikely superposition of a cold stellar stream and a very distant open cluster, is not supported by our new result.

description: This paper describes an interdisciplinary project: the design and fabrication of temporary HVAC diffusers for the University of Louisiana Lafayette School of Architecture and Design to decrease and distribute air supply across the studio environment.

To begin the design process, we charged the students to record data measuring the air velocity around the existing diffusers using an anemometer, creating a grid of yarn to located points in space. In addition to collecting the numerical data, the student observed the movement of the lengths of yarn in response to the airflow. Once the students could visualize the movement of the air, they hypothesized on how best to control the air. Several designs provided variations on ductwork typology, featuring perforations or shaping flanges to distribute the air. By contrast, three designs employed rudders or fins and waterfall-like shelf structures to create spouts, conceiving of the air as a fluid. With a task to spread and slow the air, these solutions were destined to be most successful.

The project acts as a case study on data collection, research, and design for environmental factors. Students learned how to frame a research question, follow an organized practice of data collection and analysis, relate that data to industry-established standards, hypothesize about solutions through prototyping, test those solutions through digital analysis, and then verify hypotheses through empirical collection of data once their design was installed. This methodology allowed students to relate benchmarks established by ASHRAE’s standards for comfort to the qualitative experience of their own design. Additionally, this project serves as an example of cross-disciplinary research, and provides a model for college initiated grant development, specifically tailored to STEM.
title: Water and Land in Flux: Pedagogy for Design Innovations that Inhabit Water
Creators: name: Emami, Niloufar
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: The Float’n’rise Design Studio encourages a paradigm shift in design by speculating how a partially submerged building can be designed along the Southern Louisiana coast. As the erosion and submersion of terra firma continues, what might the future of a community’s existence look like? If the fact that once-inhabitable ground slowly submerges is assumed, why not construct buildings designed to float on water in the first place? Instead of holding firm to past ground/water conditions, and only raising buildings according to the hundred-year flood level principle, why not embrace a relationship with water as a new design opportunity? Located at the intersection of architecture, ecology, and advanced technology, this studio is a step forward in navigating the fraught/complex relationship between terra-firma/aqua-firma and its environmental settings, using advanced computational and fabrication techniques to rethink modes of habitation in the coastal areas of Southern Louisiana.

This paper first provides an overview of the environmental conditions of the Southern Louisiana region in general and New Orleans in particular. Then, a review of the existing research and practice in the field of floating architecture is presented. Next, the specifics of the Float’n’rise Design Studio are introduced, followed by an overview of the CAD/CAM techniques employed throughout the process. Finally, students’ projects are presented with a discussion of how they aligned with the pedagogical goals.

Employing CAD/CAM methods was found to be an inspiring source for design thinking that offers innovative design solutions to multi-faceted complex problems. It can also act as an aid in prototyping and to verify the feasibility of proposed design scenarios. In fact, an interesting improvement to the studio, if repeated, will involve using CAD/CAM techniques paired with material explorations to fabricate small-scale prototypes that can actually be tested on water. The iterative nature of prototyping and testing can synergize the iterative nature of design towards better contextualizing it.

description: In this work we analyze a particular setup with ultracold atoms trapped in state-dependent lattices. We show that any asymmetry in the contact interaction translates into one of two classes of correlated hopping. After deriving the effective lattice Hamiltonian for the atoms, we obtain analytically and numerically the different phases and quantum phase transitions. We find for weak correlated hopping both Mott insulators and charge density waves, while for stronger correlated hopping the system transitions into a pair superfluid. We demonstrate that this phase exists for a wide range of interaction asymmetries and has interesting correlation properties that differentiate it from an ordinary atomic Bose-Einstein condensate.

The CP Conserving Contribution to K_L→π^0 ν ν ̅ in the Standard Model

description: The are decay K_L→π^0 νν ̅ nn is dominated by direct CP violation and can be computed with extraordinarily high  precision. In principle also a CP conserving contribution to this process can arise within the Standard Model. We clarify the structure of the CP conserving mechanism, analyzing both its short-distance and long-distance components. It is pointed out that the calculation of the CP conserving amplitude, although sensitive in part to nonperturbative physics, is rather well under control. The resulting CP conserving contribution to the  K_L→π^0 νν ̅  rate turns out to be very strongly suppressed due to several factors, which we discuss in detail.
title: Big Glue! Testing the Scalability of Adhesives in Architecture and Design
Creators: name: White, Emily
name: Sapper, Erik
Publisher: name: University of Mass Amherst
Year: 2019

description: This paper documents the questions, methods and outcomes of “Big Glue,” a research collaboration among students and faculty from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo’s chemistry and architecture departments that explores the potentials of structural adhesives in architecture and design. The project asks how adhesives can be more broadly used as work increases in size from the scale of models to full-scale construction.

Our focus is on aluminum structures. We looked at existing adhesive use in construction and in the automotive industry, where adhesives are increasingly used on aluminum and aluminum composites to reduce weight and consequently increase fuel efficiencies. We see potential overlaps between automotive and architectural applications of adhesives in sheet metal structural skins.

We began at a small scale to get acquainted with adhesives and to test using bonded joints in applications that would typically be welded or mechanically fastened. Our team formulated custom adhesives based on parameters we defined as specific to architecture and construction, then tested this lab formulation and other adhesives on glued joints at three scales—extra small, small and medium—in the form of test coupons, a “ravioli” structure, and furniture.

Working at the scale of furniture allowed us to test material interactions on load bearing seams that are structurally analogous to larger scale architectural applications. Using adhesives instead of welds or mechanical fasteners allowed us to work more fluidly between scale models, digital simulations, and final products. This research lays the groundwork for scaling up to large and extra-large projects.

description: There is a pressing need for robust and straightforward methods to create potentials for trapping Bose-Einstein condensates which are simultaneously dynamic, fully arbitrary, and sufficiently stable to not heat the ultracold gas. We show here how to accomplish these goals, using a rapidly-moving laser beam that "paints" a time-averaged optical dipole potential in which we create BECs in a variety of geometries, including toroids, ring lattices, and square lattices. Matter wave interference patterns confirm that the trapped gas is a condensate. As a simple illustration of dynamics, we show that the technique can transform a toroidal condensate into a ring lattice and back into a toroid. The technique is general and should work with any sufficiently polarizable low-energy particles.

description: We analyze the rare kaon decays K_L→π^0 νν ̅,K^+→π^+ νν ̅ ,K_L→π^0 e^+ e^-  and K_L→μ^+ μ^- in conjunction with the CP violating ratio ε^'/ε in a general class of supersymmetric models in which Z- and magnetic-penguin contributions can be substantially larger than in the Standard Model. We point out that radiative effects relate the double left-right mass insertion to the single left-left one, and that the phenomenological constraints on the latter reflect into a stringent bound on the supersymmetric contribution to the Z penguin.Using this bound, and those coming from recent data on ε^'/ε, we find BR(K^+→π^0 νν ̅)≲ 1.2 * 10^{-10},  BR(,K^+→π^+ νν ̅) ≲ 1.7*10^{-10}, BR〖(K_L→π^0 e^+ e^-)〗_dir ≲ 2.0*10^{-11}, assuming the usual determination of the CKM parameters and neglecting the possibility of  cancellations among  different supersymmetric effects in ε^'/ε.Larger values are possible, in principle, but rather unlikely.  We stress the importance of a measurement of these three branching  ratios, together with improved data and improved theory of ε^'/ε, in order to shed light on the realization of various supersymmetric scenarios.We reemphasize that the most natural enhancement of ε^'/ε, within supersymmetric models, comes from chromomagnetic penguins and show that in this case sizable enhancements of BR〖(K_L→π^0 e^+ e^-)〗_dir; can also be expected.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) are recruited in applications that span from clinical assistance and legal support to question answering and education. Their success in specialized tasks has led to the claim that they possess human-like linguistic capabilities related to compositional understanding and reasoning. Yet, reverse-engineering is bound by Moravec’s Paradox, according to which easy skills are hard. We systematically assess 7 state-of-the-art models on a novel benchmark. Models answered a series of comprehension questions, each prompted multiple times in two settings, permitting one-word or open-length replies. Each question targets a short text featuring high-frequency linguistic constructions. To establish a baseline for achieving human-like performance, we tested 400 humans on the same prompts. Based on a dataset of n  = 26,680 datapoints, we discovered that LLMs perform at chance accuracy and waver considerably in their answers. Quantitatively, the tested models are outperformed by humans, and qualitatively their answers showcase distinctly non-human errors in language understanding. We interpret this evidence as suggesting that, despite their usefulness in various tasks, current AI models fall short of understanding language in a way that matches humans, and we argue that this may be due to their lack of a compositional operator for regulating grammatical and semantic information.

description: The middle-aged supernova remnant (SNR) W51C is an interesting source for the interaction of the shell with a molecular cloud. The shell emits intense radio synchrotron photons, and high-energy gamma-rays from the remnant have been detected using the {\it Fermi} Large Area Telescope (LAT), the H.E.S.S. telescope, and the Milagro gamma-ray observatory. Based on a semi-analytical approach to the nonlinear shock acceleration process, we investigate the multiband nonthermal emission from W51C. The result shows that the radio emission from the remnant can be explained as synchrotron radiation of the electrons accelerated by a part of the shock flowing into the ambient medium. On the other hand, the high-energy gamma-rays detected by the {\it Fermi} LAT are mainly produced via proton-proton collisions of the high-energy protons with the ambient matter in the molecular cloud overtaken by the other part of the shock. We propose a possible explanation of the multiband nonthermal emission from W51C, and it can be concluded that a molecular cloud overtaken by a shock wave can be an important emitter in GeV $γ$-rays.

Year: 2019

description: As the building sector faces global challenges that affect urban supplies of food, water and energy, multifaceted sustainability solutions need to be re-examined through the lens of built environments. Aquaponics, a strategy that combines recirculating aquaculture with hydroponics to optimize fish and plant production, has been recognized as one of "ten technologies which could change our lives" by merit of its potential to revolutionize how we feed urban populations. To holistically assess the environmental performance of urban aquaponic farms, impacts generated by aquaponic systems must be combined with impacts generated by host envelopes. This paper outlines the opportunities and challenges of using life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate and design urban aquaponic farms. The methodology described here is part of a larger study of urban integration of aquaponics conducted by the interdisciplinary research consortium CITYFOOD. First, the challenges of applying LCA in architecture and agriculture are outlined. Next, the urban aquaponic farm is described as a series of unit process flows. Using the ISO 14040:2006 framework for developing an LCA, subsequent LCA phases are described, focusing on scenario-specific challenges and tools. Particular attention is given to points of interaction between growing systems and host buildings that can be optimized to serve both. Using a hybrid LCA framework that incorporates methods from the building sector as well as the agricultural sector, built environment professionals can become key players in interdisciplinary solutions for the food-water-energy nexus and the design of sustainable urban food systems.

Abstract CT-P13 (Remsima®; Inflectra®), a biosimilar of reference infliximab (Remicade®), provides a useful alternative for patients requiring infliximab therapy and, as with other biosimilar agents, has the potential to reduce treatment costs. Furthermore, the availability of CT-P13 in a subcutaneous formulation (CT-P13 SC), with the possibility (after adequate training) of self-administration at home, has the potential to both improve patient convenience and reduce the burden on the healthcare system. The initial approval of CT-P13 SC, for use in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in adults, was based on the findings of a randomised, double-blind phase I/III trial which demonstrated the non-inferiority of CT-P13 SC administered once every 2 weeks to intravenous CT-P13 (CT-P13 IV) administered once every 8 weeks in reducing disease activity in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. Subsequently, based on pharmacokinetic data in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, CT-P13 SC has also been approved in the EU for use in the treatment of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and, by extrapolation, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis, in adults.© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021

The numerical study is based on our simulation data from [Krasnov, Zikanov, Schumacher, Boeck, Phys. Fluids 20, 095105 (2008)] obtained by direct and large eddy simulations. We find that the Joule dissipation can exceed the viscous dissipation in the weakly dissipative bulk region, but remains comparatively small in the turbulence-generating near-wall region.

description: A new procedure has been developed at INFN Frascati Laboratory in order to achieve a very high Hydrogen or Deuterium electrolytic loading into a long and thin Palladium wire.  This technique consists in the addition of a very small amount of alkaline-earth elements into a very diluted acidic solution.Because of enhancing pH values around the cathode, during the electrolysis, carbonates are able to precipitate onto the cathode's surface forming a thin layer which strongly increases the Pd loading; a computer simulation has been developed to find out the proper working conditions for the carbonates precipitation.Loading results of Hydrogen were excellent (H/Pd= 1).  The evidence of a new phase in the Pd-H system was inferred from the basis of the variation of the thermal resistivity coefficient of the Pd wire as a function of the H/Pd ratio.Less satisfactory results were obtained for Deuterium (D/Pd@ 0.85, no excess heat) because of inorganic and organic contamination normally present in ordinary heavy water.  A peculiar procedure to purify heavy water, developed at INFN-LNF, has permitted to achieve interesting loading, up to D[Pd=- 0.97, for several days and evidence of overheating of Pd wire i.e. 'excess heat'.We have discovered that the obtained poor results with the heavy water are mainly due to the presence of two kinds of new bacteria living in the commercial reactor-grade heavy water we have used for the loading tests.  We named such bacteria (Ralstonia and Stenotrophomonas genera) 'Detusculanense' specie.
title: Intuition Before Integers: Integrating Building Technology Into the Design Studio
Creators: name: Leach, James

Publisher: name: University of Mass Amherst
Year: 2019

description: The studio methodology, used almost universally to teach architectural design in the US, embraces speculative investigation and hands-on learning, offering unparalleled opportunities for integrated thinking and open-ended inquiry. Building technology courses, in contrast, tend to be taught in more constrained, and more passive modes - lecture classes, sometimes accompanied by a laboratory or including a project or two. As instructors of both design studios and building technology courses, we have found it difficult to generate the level of engagement and enthusiasm, or achieve the depth of inquiry, in the technology classroom that is common in the design studio. Moreover, we find that students fail to apply their developing technical knowledge to inform their studio design work. With a goal of greater comprehension and application as a guide, we developed an immersive making-based exercise in the design studio with an overt focus on building technology, elevating technical concerns to primary design drivers.

In this case, the development of a tectonic daylighting building skin was selected as an opportunity to incorporate building construction, structures, and performance, while exploring the potential of the envelope as moderator of the exterior environment and shaper of experience. The work was organized as a series of iterative feedback loops: make – learn – test - analyze – refine – make… This began with intuitive making – developing a series of material investigations in response to an initial prompt. Making was immediately followed by learning - the introduction of a specific building technology concepts and considerations. The previously-generated products then served as a subject for testing and analysis, applying the newly-learned technical concepts and tools. The feedback from testing and analysis directed refinement of the design. This pattern was repeated, with episodic technical workshops positioned throughout the project, presenting additional topics such as material selection, tectonics, and structures, for integration into the evolving design. This gradual exposure to new concepts and concerns incrementally built technical awareness and knowledge, spurring continued analysis and development. Additional design and performance criteria, aligned with the new technical topics, added complexity at a measured pace, allowing students to focus on a single concern at a time, without becoming overwhelmed.

By engaging with physical making and testing, and scaffolding technical concepts, students begin to perceive the opportunities to develop designs informed by a multitude of intentions – truly integrated design.

description: We propose a formulation to obtain the line shape of a magnetic response with dissipative effects that directly reflects the nature of the environment. Making use of the fact that the time evolution of a response function is described by the same equation as the reduced density operator, we formulate a full description of the complex susceptibility. We describe the dynamics using the equation of motion for the reduced density operator, including the term for the initial correlation between the system and a thermal bath. In this formalism, we treat the full description of non-Markovian dynamics, including the initial correlation. We present an explicit and compact formula up to the second order of cumulants, which can be applied in a straightforward way to multiple spin systems. We also take into account the frequency shift by the system-bath interaction. We study the dependence of the line shape on the type of interaction between the system and the thermal bath. We demonstrate that the present formalism is a powerful tool for investigating various kinds of systems, and we show how it is applied to spin systems, including those with up to three spins. We distinguish the contributions of the initial correlation and the frequency shift, and make clear the role of each contribution in the Ohmic coupling spectral function. As examples of applications to multispin systems, we obtain the dependence of the line shape on the spatial orientation in relation to the direction of the static field (Nagata-Tazuke effect), including the effects of the thermal environment, in a two-spin system, along with the dependence on the arrangement of a triangle in a three-spin system.

description: We have theoretically investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of graphene whose zigzag edges are oxidized. The alteration of these properties by adsorption of $\mathrm{H_{2}O}$ and $\mathrm{NH_3}$ molecules have been considered. It was found that the adsorbed molecules form a cluster along the oxidized zigzag edges of graphene due to interaction with the electro-negative oxygen. Graphene tends to donate a charge to the adsorbates through the oxygen atoms and the efficiency of donation depends on the intermolecular distance and on the location of the adsorbed molecules relative to the plane of graphene. It was found that by appropriate selection of the adsorbates, a controllable and gradual growth of $p$-doping in graphene with a variety of adsorbed molecules can be achieved.

description: We present a systematic experimental study of geometric and statistical properties of thermal plumes in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection using the thermochromic-liquid-crystal (TLC) technique. The experiments were performed in three water-filled cylindrical convection cells with aspect ratios 2, 1, and 0.5 and over the Rayleigh-number range $5\times10^7 \leq Ra \leq 10^{11}$. TLC thermal images of horizontal plane cuts at various depths below the top plate were acquired. Three-dimensional images of thermal plumes were then reconstructed from the two-dimensional slices of the temperature field. The results show that the often-called sheetlike plumes are really one-dimensional structures and may be called rodlike plumes. We find that the number densities for both sheetlike/rodlike and mushroomlike plumes have power-law dependence on $Ra$ with scaling exponents of $\sim 0.3$, which is close to that between the Nusselt number $Nu$ and $Ra$. This result suggests that it is the plume number that primarily d ermines the scaling exponent of the $Nu$-$Ra$ scaling relation. The evolution of the aspect ratio of sheetlike/rodlike plumes reveals that as $Ra$ increases the plume geometry changes from more-elongated to less-elongated. Our study of the plume area fraction (fraction of coverage over the surface of the plate) further reveals that the increased plume numbers with $Ra$ mainly comes from increased plume emission, rather than fragmentation of plumes. In addition, the area, perimeter, and the shape complexity of the two-dimensional horizontal cuts of sheetlike/rodlike plumes were studied and all are found to obey log-normal distributions.

Properties of quasi-relaxed stellar systems in an external tidal field

description: In a previous paper, we have constructed a family of self-consistent triaxial models of quasi-relaxed stellar systems, shaped by the tidal field of the hosting galaxy, as an extension of the well-known spherical King models. For a given tidal field, the models are characterized by two physical scales (such as total mass and central velocity dispersion) and two dimensionless parameters (the concentration parameter and the tidal strength). The most significant departure from spherical symmetry occurs when the truncation radius of the corresponding spherical King model is of the order of the tidal radius, which, for a given tidal strength, is set by the maximum concentration value admitted. For such maximally extended (or "critical") models the outer boundary has a generally triaxial shape, given by the zero-velocity surface of the relevant Jacobi integral, which is basically independent of the concentration parameter. In turn, the external tidal field can give rise to significant global departures from spherical symmetry (as measured, for example, by the quadrupole of the mass distribution of the stellar system) only for low-concentration models, for which the allowed maximal value of the tidal strength can be relatively high. In this paper we describe in detail the intrinsic and the projected structure and kinematics of the models, covering the entire parameter space, from the case of sub-critical (characterized by "underfilling" of the relevant Roche volume) to that of critical models. The intrinsic properties can be a useful starting point for numerical simulations and other investigations that require initialization of a stellar system in dynamical equilibrium. The projected properties are a key step in the direction of a comparison with observed globular clusters and other candidate stellar systems.
