description: A wide variation in the charge transport properties of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS) films is attributed to the degree of phase-segregation of the excess insulating polyanion. The results indicate that the charge transport in PEDOT-PSS can vary from hopping to critical regime of the metal-insulator transition, depending on the subtle details of morphology. The extent of electrical-connectivity in films, directly obtained from a temperature dependent high-frequency transport study, indicates various limiting factors to the transport, which are correlated with the phase separation process. The low temperature magnetotransport further supports this morphology-dependent transport scenario.

The politics of immobility in Leonard Peltier’s Prison Writings and Tomson Highway’s Rose
Creators: name: Paul, Cameron Norman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: My thesis examines themes of immobility in Anishinabe-Lakota activist Leonard Peltier’s Prison Writings and Woods Cree author-playwright Tomson Highway’s musical-drama Rose. I perform a cross-cultural, as well as cross-disciplinary, analysis of how these two texts critique the racial, spatial, and sexual politics that inhere in mobility and, in the case of automobiles, its frequent dependencies on petro-resource extraction. Rarely addressed as a project of ecological intervention, the numerous accounts of broken-down automobiles throughout Prison Writings present an indictment of both the immobilizing socio-economic dispossession of Indigenous communities and petro-dependency’s particularly destructive impact on their traditional lands. By depicting the traumatic effects of intra-tribal gender violence on the women of Wasaychigan Hill Indian Reserve, Rose both highlights and critiques the various regimes of mobility continuing to inhere within both the Canadian reserve system as a settler-colonial project and Canada’s broader adherence to international neoliberal policies, such as the trilateral North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Instead of appealing to dominant neoliberal narratives of unfettered mobility’s emancipatory potential, I argue Prison Writings and Rose collectively address scenes of apparent immobility and restraint that undermine such fetishizations of the mobile.

description: Quantum discord is a general measure of bipartite quantum correlations with a potential role in quantum information processing tasks. Spin clusters serve as ideal candidates for the implementation of some of the associated protocols. In this paper, we consider a symmetric spin trimer and a tetramer, which describe a number of known molecular magnets, and compute the quantum discord in the ground and thermal states of the clusters. The variations of the quantum discord as a function of anisotropy parameter, magnetic field and temperature are investigated. We obtain a number of interesting results such as a finite value of the quantum discord in the trimer ground state for which the pairwise entanglement is known to be zero, differences in the nature of some of the variations in the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic cases and discontinuous jumps in the magnitude of the quantum discord at first order quantum phase transition points. A remarkable feature that is observed is that the quantum discord completely vanishes only in the asymptotic limit of temperature $T\rightarrow\infty$. We further study the dynamics of the quantum discord and the pairwise entanglement at T=0 under the effect of a dephasing channel describing the interaction of the reduced spin cluster state with independent local environments. The QD is found to vanish asymptotically as $t\rightarrow\infty$. In the case of the spin trimer, the pairwise entanglement has a zero value at all times and reaches a zero value in a finite time in the case of the tetramer.

description: This paper deals with the sensitivity analysis of three configurations arranged in series-parallel. Configuration I consist of six units in which four are on operation while two are on standby. Configuration II consist of seven units with three of the units are on standby while the remaining four are on operation. Configuration III comprises of two subsystems C and D with three unit in each subsystem with a unit on standby. Units in each configuration provide 25MW. Both the failure and repair time are assumed exponentially distributed. System of first order linear differential difference equations is obtained using the transition diagram. Explicit expressions of the system availability, Mean Time To Failure (MTTF), busy period due to partial failure, busy period due to complete failure and profit were derived. Furthermore results of sensitivity of the system availability, MTTF and profit were determined. The obtained results were analyzed and compared, configuration I was found to be the optimal configuration.
The Impact of Simulation Based Training on the Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery Performance Examination
Creators: name: E. Matthew Ritter
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery (FES) Program was developed to help meet the educational needs of surgeons and surgical trainees performing flexible gastrointestinal endoscopy. During the development, there were multiple published reports establishing the validity evidence, which influenced the American Board of Surgery (ABS) to incorporate FES as a key component of its Flexible Endoscopy Curriculum (FEC). In March of 2014, the ABS announced that completion of the FEC would be required for all applicants beginning with the 2017 -2018 graduating class. The role of simulation-based training in FES skills test performance after this requirement has not been evaluated. There is a concern voiced by many trainees and program directors that since the FES skills test is conducted in the simulated environment, simulation-based practice is required for passing. We sought to answer the following research questions: 1) What is the relationship between time spent on simulation-based training and FES skills test score? 2) Is simulation-based training required to pass the FES skills test? 3) Is selfreported simulation based training or self-reported clinical endoscopy training a better predictor of FES skills test performance? 4) Has simulation based training in flexible endoscopy increased since the ABS implemented the FEC? We analyzed a de-identified database of over 3000 participants and identified just over 2000 general surgery residents who took the FES skills test as part of their ABS requirement. Just over 700 participants responded to the question about simulation-based practice. We showed that the FES skills test continues to be an excellent measurement of the task work required to perform clinical endoscopy. There is clearly no credible threat to the validity of the FES skills test from any construct irrelevant variance resulting from a need for simulation based practice to pass the FES skills test. Similarly, the amount of practice is not predictive of passing, vi i SUMMARY (Continued) but simulation-based practice can improve performance on certain FES tasks, especially for those test takers with less clinical endoscopy experience. There is no strong evidence to support a dramatic increase in simulation-based practice by general surgery residents after the FEC requirement was announced. For residents who have met the clinical experience requirements of the FEC, the gender effect seen in previous work seems to be reduced and glove size emerges as the more important predictor of performance. Finally, with some minimal changes in how data are collected, the FES Program could improve future analysis of the relationship between simulation-based training and FES skills test performance.

description: The thesis presents recent work on balanced graph partitioning - partition the nodes of a graph into k blocks such that all blocks have about equal size and such that the number of cut edges is small. We report a number of advances on the classical multilevel approach. Moreover, we present a distributed evolutionary algorithm as well as novel techniques to guarantee the balance constraint. Overall this leads to a system that for many common benchmarks leads to both the best quality solution known and favorable tradeoffs between running time and solution quality.

Interaction of a magnetized shell with an ambient medium: limits on impulsive magnetic acceleration
Creators: name: Levinson, Amir
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The interaction of relativistic magnetized ejecta with an ambient medium is studied for a range of structures and magnetization of the unshocked ejecta. We particularly focus on the effect of the ambient medium on the dynamics of an impulsive, high-sigma shell. It is found that for sufficiently high values of the initial magnetization $σ_0$ the evolution of the system is significantly altered by the ambient medium well before the shell reaches its coasting phase. The maximum Lorentz factor of the shell is limited to values well below $σ_0$; for a shell of initial energy $E=10^{52}E_{52}$ ergs and size $r_0=10^{12}T_{30}$ cm expelled into a medium having a uniform density $n_i$ we obtain $Γ_{\rm max}\simeq180(E_{52}/T_{30}^3 n_i)^{1/8}$ in the high sigma limit. The reverse shock and any internal shocks that might form if the source is fluctuating are shown to be very weak. The restriction on the Lorentz factor is more severe for shells propagating in a stellar wind. Intermittent ejection of small sub-shells doesn't seem to help, as the shells merge while still highly magnetized. Lower sigma shells start decelerating after reaching the coasting phase and spreading away. The properties of the reverse shock then depend on the density profiles of the coasting shell and the ambient medium. For a self-similar cold shell the reverse shock becomes strong as it propagates inwards, and the system eventually approaches the self-similar solution derived recently by Nakamura \& Shigeyama.

Comment on astrophysical consequences of a neutrinophilic 2HDM

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Several authors have pointed out that the scalar-mediated interaction of neutrinos in a neutriophilic two-Higgs-doublet model (nu2HDM) can be as strong as electromagnetic interaction [1-3]. We show that the coupling constants of neutrino-scalar interaction are actually restricted to be y_i < 1.5 x 10^{-3} by supernova neutrino observation, and further constrained to be y_i < 2.3 x 10^{-4} by precision measurements of acoustic peaks of the cosmic microwave background. Based on the energy-loss argument for supernova cores, we derive a slightly more restrictive bound y_i < 3.5 x 10^{-5}. Therefore, the nu2HDM has lost its spirit of explaining tiny Dirac neutrino masses while keeping neutrino Yukawa couplings of order one.

Nanoscale Modeling Approaches to Explore Adhesion Properties of Chemically Modified Surfaces
Creators: name: Chiavarini, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The control of adhesion properties is critical for many industrial applications. The precise determination of the surface free energy has however proved challenging either experimentally and with molecular dynamics simulations. A review of the existing techniques has been carried out and the most interesting approaches have been tested on several case studies. A comparison with experimental results has been conducted throughout all the work. The results showed the capabilities of these approaches in providing understanding of the adhesion at the molecular scale and the possibility of modifying these properties with the chemical composition of the surface. In detail, the approach adopted for the determination of adhesion through wetting properties proves very promising and further studies could lead to an extension of the scales of application. Contact methods proves instead to be more challenging due to the lack of studies on certain factors, the application to soft surfaces in detail need to be addressed cautiously.
Partial oxidation of pyrolysis oil by model compounds

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The challenges of upgrading pyrolysis oil to transportation fuel limit the economic viability of biomass pyrolysis. Therefore, this dissertation investigated partial oxidation of pyrolysis oil to produce value-added chemicals. Two model compounds, acetic acid (AcOH) and acetaldehyde (AcH) were selected for gas phase oxidation trials. Thermal oxidation of AcOH emphasized AcOH’s refractory nature as the maximum conversion of AcOH was less than 6% at 350 ⁰C at 1 atm with GHSV of 2000 h-¹. AcH was more reactive; conversion of AcH was approximately 40% under identical conditions. Thermal oxidation of both compounds produced only carbon dioxide (CO₂). Although the true reaction mechanism of AcH thermal oxidation could not be determined, the activation energy was calculated to be between 47.1±0.55 kJ/mol and 55.2±0.6 kJ/mol. Catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) of AcOH and AcH was examined using vanadium pentoxide supported by titanium oxide (V₂O₅/TiO₂). Conversion of CPO of AcOH was slightly higher than thermal oxidation but produced only CO₂. CPO of AcH generated AcOH, a desirable product, as well as formic acid (FA), carbon monoxide (CO) and CO₂, suggesting that multiple reactions occurred. However, the selectivity to AcOH was relatively low (43% at 175 ⁰C, GHSV=20000 h-¹, 2.4V/TiO₂). The selectivity of AcH to AcOH was improved by adjusting temperature, adopting higher vanadium (V) loading catalysts, and increasing oxygen (O₂) concentration. At 200 ⁰C, GHSV=20000 h-¹, and using 6.9V/TiO₂, the selectivity to AcOH increased to 70%. Constant selectivity of all products with respect to residence time indicates the reactions are likely parallel. The rate constant for AcH CPO was calculated assuming an overall 1st order reaction. The linearized Arrhenius law yielded an activation energy of 43.9 kJ/mol for the overall AcH CPO reaction. Simultaneous CPO of AcH and AcOH was also examined. The conversion of AcH in the mixture was similar to the conversion of CPO of AcH alone. This study demonstrated the feasibility of producing AcOH via CPO of AcH. The viability of partial oxidation of pyrolysis oil must be confirmed using model compounds with more complex functional groups and pyrolysis oil.

The structural parameters of the cEs are derived using GALFIT and give effective radii < 400 pc. They also possess young to intermediate-age stellar populations. These two cEs provide direct evidence, a "smoking gun", for the process of tidal stripping that is believed to be the origin of M32-type galaxies. Both are found in small group environments with many late-type galaxies, suggesting that we may be seeing the formation of such galaxies in dynamically young galaxy groups.

description: We investigate the properties of crystalline phantom membranes, at the crumpling transition and in the flat phase, using a nonperturbative renormalization group approach. We avoid a derivative expansion of the effective average action and instead analyse the full momentum dependence of the elastic coupling functions. This leads to a more accurate determination of the critical exponents and further yields the full momentum dependence of the correlation functions of the in-plane and out-of-plane fluctuation. The flow equations are solved numerically for D=2 dimensional membranes embedded in a d=3 dimensional space. Within our approach we find a crumpling transition of second order which is characterized by an anomalous exponent $η_c\approx 0.63(8)$ and the thermal exponent $ν\approx 0.69$. Near the crumpling transition the order parameter of the flat phase vanishes with a critical exponent $β\approx 0.22$. The flat phase anomalous dimension is $η_f\approx 0.85$ and the Poisson's ratio inside the flat phase is found to be $σ_f\approx -1/3$. At the crumpling transition we find a much larger negative value of the Poisson's ratio $σ_c \approx -0.71(5)$. We discuss further in detail the different regimes of the momentum dependent fluctuations, both in the flat phase and in the vicinity of the crumpling transition, and extract the crossover momentum scales which separate them.

description: We suggest that a single-electron transistor continuously monitored by a quantum point contact may function as a Maxwell demon when closed-loop feedback operations are applied as time-dependent modifications of the tunneling rates across its junctions. The device may induce a current across the single-electron transistor even when no bias voltage or thermal gradient is applied. For different feedback schemes, we derive effective master equations and compare the induced feedback current and its fluctuations as well as the generated power. Provided that tunneling rates can be modified without changing the transistor level, the device may be implemented with current technology.

description: Stellar mergers are expected to take place in numerous circumstences in the evolution of stellar systems. In particular, they are considered as a plausible origin of stellar eruptions of the V838 Mon type. V1309 Sco is the most recent eruption of this type in our Galaxy. The object was discovered in September 2008. Our aim is to investigate the nature of V1309 Sco. V1309 Sco has been photometrically observed in course of the OGLE project since August 2001. We analyse these observations in different ways. In particular, periodogram analyses were done to investigate the nature of the observed short term variability of the progenitor. We find out that the progenitor of V1309 Sco was a contact binary with an orbital period of ~1.4 day. This period was decreasing with time. Similarly the light curve of the binary was also evolving, indicating that the system evolved toward its merger. The violent phase of the merger, marked by the systematic brightenning of the object, started in March 2008, i.e. half a year before the outburst discovery. We also investigate the observations of V1309 Sco during the outburst and the decline and show that they can be fully accounted for within the merger hypothesis. For the first time in the literature we show, from direct observations, that contact binaries indeed end up by merging into a single object, as it was suggested in numerous theoretical studies of these systems. Our study also shows that stellar mergers indeed result in eruptions of the V838 Mon type.

description: Glycosyltransferases (GTs) play important roles in plant growth and development. The biological functions of many GTs are unknown. In the present study, two putative GT genes (PopGT1 and PopGT2) were cloned and their biological roles in growth and development of Arabidopsis and hybrid-poplar were investigated. In silico, in vitro, and in vivo methods were used to characterize the two encoded proteins. Phylogenetic analysis, enzyme activity assays, and transcript abundance were studied. In addition, plant growth and development, leaf morphology, stem anatomy, cell wall composition, biomechanical properties, soluble carbohydrate, and phenolic metabolite contents were determined. The results indicated that PopGT1 showed high similarity to tobacco salicylic acid glycosyltransferase, and both PopGT1 and PopGT2 (annotated as AtUGT74F2) were clustered within phylogenetic group L of family-1 GTs (UGTs). In vitro characterization of the two recombinant proteins indicated that PopGT1 glycosylated several flavonoids, showed only trace activities towards cinnamic and indole butyric acid, and accepted UDP-glucose as a sugar donor. The optimum temperature and pH for in vitro PopGT1 activity was 35 ºC and pH 7.5, respectively. PopGT2 showed no enzymatic activity towards any substrates. The two coding sequences (PopGT1 and PopGT2) were cloned in the pSM3 expression vector and over-expressed in Arabidopsis plants to investigate their in vivo functions. Phenotypically, plant height, stem diameter, rosette diameter, and stem number increased significantly in the transgenic plants. In addition, rosette morphology and root gravitropism were altered. Transgenic plants flowered earlier than the control plants. Chemically, cell wall compositions and phenolic metabolite contents changed significantly. In parallel, transgenic trees showed changes in leaf morphology, stem diameter, phloem fibre arrangement, and early bud break. Wood density was reduced revealing a brittle-stem phenotype. Marginal increases in lignin and reductions in cellulose content were apparent. Salireposide content was reduced in the bark of transgenic trees. The results indicated that altering the expression of both genes in Arabidopsis and poplar affected plant growth and development, cell wall composition, phenolic metabolite profiles, and wood biomechanical properties. PopGT1 showed in vivo substrate specificity towards kaempferol and promiscuous in vitro enzyme activity. However, the substrate of PopGT2 remains unclear.

description: One utilisation of multidimensional databases is the field of On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP). The applications in this area are designed to make the analysis of shared multidimensional information fast [9]. On one hand, speed can be achieved by specially devised data structures and algorithms. On the other hand, the analytical process is cyclic. In other words, the user of the OLAP application runs his or her queries one after the other. The output of the last query may be there (at least partly) in one of the previous results. Therefore caching also plays an important role in the operation of these systems. However, caching itself may not be enough to ensure acceptable performance. Size does matter: The more memory is available, the more we gain by loading and keeping information in there. Oftentimes, the cache size is fixed. This limits the performance of the multidimensional database, as well, unless we compress the data in order to move a greater proportion of them into the memory. Caching combined with proper compression methods promise further performance improvements. In this paper, we investigate how caching influences the speed of OLAP systems. Different physical representations (multidimensional and table) are evaluated. For the thorough comparison, models are proposed. We draw conclusions based on these models, and the conclusions are verified with empirical data.

description: This presentation is about the National Hydrogeological Inventory, developed as part of Geoscience Australia's national-scale groundwater research efforts in the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program. The presentation is part of the 2024 Distinguished Geoscience Australia Lecture (DGAL) series.
One of Geoscience Australia's strategic drivers is to Improve understanding of Australia's groundwater systems to support sustainable management and help to secure our water resources to optimise and sustain their use. Aligned with this key objective, and as part of the EFTF program, Geoscience Australia developed and delivered the first comprehensive update to the Hydrogeology of Australia map and supporting report since first published more than 35 years ago. Known as the National Hydrogeological Inventory (NHI), this new online mapping application delivers consistent national-scale synthesis of hydrogeological and related data and information for the nation's 42 major groundwater provinces. Accessible via the Geoscience Australia Data Discovery Portal, the NHI provides an enhanced and updated picture of groundwater systems across Australia, giving us a broader understanding of the communities, industries, and environments that rely on access to groundwater. This presentation uncovers the story behind the development of the inventory, looking at why it was developed, the type of information it contains, and plans for further improvements as part of the new Resourcing Australia's Prosperity Initiative.
High Dynamic-Range Lanthanide-Based Biosensors for Live-Cell Imaging and High Throughput Screening
Creators: name: Pham, Ha Thi

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: FRET biosensors are a powerful tool for elucidating cellular signaling mechanisms due to their ability to capture the spatiotemporal dynamics of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in native environment. While popular, many FRET biosensors possess a low dynamic range that barely exceeds the noise of many imaging systems and cannot be used to detect cellular PPIs at medium or high throughput applications, especially in cell-based format. The main objective of this study is to create a lanthanide-based FRET (LRET) biosensor toolkit that aims to simplify and accelerate the generation of high dynamic range biosensors for live-cell imaging and cell-based multi-well plate analysis of PPIs. The kit incorporates a Tb(III) complex as the energy transfer donor, a GFP as the acceptor, and an alpha-helical linker termed ER/K linker as a middle spacer in single-chain biosensor design. Tb and Tb-to-GFP sensitized emission signals have ms-scale lifetimes that permit the use of time-gated luminescence (TGL) detections in which pulsed light is used to excite the Tb complex and sensitized GFP signals are measured after a brief delay. ER/K linkers maintain the donors and acceptor far apart when the sensor is in the open configuration. The unique features of LRET and the incorporation of ER/K linkers generate biosensors with extraordinary dynamic ranges for imaging. TGL of luminescent lanthanide probes has been long used in HTS because it can overcome many limitations of conventional FRET. Here we also explore the potential of LRET sensors in cell-based medium-to-high throughput screening of small molecule inhibitors for PPIs. Our results show that LRET biosensors offer a versatile platform technology for interrogating PPIs and their function in live cells.

description: Neutrino-electron scatterings are purely leptonic processes with robust Standard Model (SM) predictions. Their measurements can therefore provide constraints to physics beyond SM. The $\nuebar$-e data taken at the Kuo-Sheng Reactor Neutrino Laboratory were used to probe two scenarios: Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions (NSI) and Unparticle Physics. New constraints were placed to the NSI parameters ($\el$,$\er$) and ($\etl$,$\etr$) for the Non-Universal and Flavor-Changing channels, respectively, as well as to the coupling constants for scalar ($λ_0$) and vector ($λ_1$) unparticles to the neutrinos and electrons.

description: Given the output of a data source taking values in a finite alphabet, we wish to detect change-points, that is times when the statistical properties of the source change. Motivated by ideas of match lengths in information theory, we introduce a novel non-parametric estimator which we call CRECHE (CRossings Enumeration CHange Estimator). We present simulation evidence that this estimator performs well, both for simulated sources and for real data formed by concatenating text sources. For example, we show that we can accurately detect the point at which a source changes from a Markov chain to an IID source with the same stationary distribution. Our estimator requires no assumptions about the form of the source distribution, and avoids the need to estimate its probabilities. Further, we establish consistency of the CRECHE estimator under a related toy model, by establishing a fluid limit and using martingale arguments.

description: Abstract:
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.
