description: Two prestressed concrete (P/C) I-girder bridges along the coal haul route system of Southeastern Kentucky were constructed with a 50 degree skew angle. One of the bridges has concrete intermediate diaphragms, while the other bridge has no intermediate diaphragms. Bridges of similar design along coal haul routes have experienced unusual concrete spalling at the interface of the diaphragms and the bottom flange of the girders. The purpose of this report is to identify the cause of the damage, and to evaluate the effectiveness of intermediate diaphragms.  Experimental static and dynamic field testing was conducted on both bridges. All field tests were completed prior to the opening of the bridges. Once the calibration of the finite element models was completed using the test data, analyses were conducted with actual coal haul truck traffic to investigate load distribution and the cause of the spalling at the diaphragm-girder interface. Based on the results obtained in this research study, a significant advantage in structural response is generally not noted due to the presence of intermediate diaphragms. Although large differences were noted percentage wise between the responses of the two bridges, analyses suggested the bridge without intermediate diaphragms will experience displacements and stresses well within AASHTO and ACI design requirements.  Finite element analyses also revealed the cause of concrete spalling witnessed in the diaphragm-girder interface region. The tendency of the girders to separate as the bridge was loaded played a large role in generating high stress concentrations in the interface region. Other mitigating factors were the presence of the diaphragm anchor bars and the fact the bridge is subjected to the overloads of coal trucks. Resolving this problem would in some measure require the removal of the concrete intermediate diaphragm. However, the total elimination of intermediate diaphragms is not recommended since they are required during construction and in the event the deck is to be replaced. The use of temporary steel diaphragms, therefore, is recommended as substitutes for the concrete intermediate diaphragms.

description: Electrical resistivity measurements were performed on single crystals of URu$_2-x$Os$_x$Si$_2$ up to $x$ = 0.28 under hydrostatic pressure up to $P$ = 2 GPa. As the Os concentration, $x$ , is increased, (1) the lattice expands, creating an effective negative chemical pressure $P_{ch}$($x$), (2) the hidden order (HO) phase is enhanced and the system is driven toward a large-moment antiferromagnetic (LMAFM) phase, and (3) less external pressure $P_{c}$ is required to induce the HO to LMAFM phase transition. We compare the $T(x)$, $T(P)$ phase behavior reported here for the URu$_2-x$Os$_x$Si$_2$ system with previous reports of enhanced HO in URu$_2$Si$_2$ upon tuning with $P$, or similarly in URu$_2-x$Fe$_x$Si$_2$ upon tuning with positive $P_{ch}$($x$). It is noted that pressure, Fe substitution, and Os substitution are the only known perturbations that enhance the HO phase and induce the first order transition to the LMAFM phase in URu$_2$Si$_2$. We present a scenario in which the application of pressure or the isoelectronic substitution of Fe and Os ions for Ru results in an increase in the hybridization of the U-5$f$- and transition metal $d$-electron states which leads to electronic instability in the paramagnetic phase and a concurrent stability of HO (and LMAFM) in URu$_2$Si$_2$. Calculations in the tight binding approximation are included to determine the strength of hybridization between the U-5$f$ electrons and each of the isoelectronic transition metal $d$-electron states of Fe, Ru, and Os.

X-ray and TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from Parallel Electron-Positron or Electron-Proton Beams in BL Lac Objects
Creators: name: Krawczynski, Henric
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we discuss models of the X-rays and TeV gamma-ray emission from BL Lac objects based on parallel electron-positron or electron-proton beams that form close to the central black hole owing to the strong electric fields generated by the accretion disk and possibly also by the black hole itself. Fitting the energy spectrum of the BL Lac object Mrk 501, we obtain tight constrains on the beam properties. Launching a sufficiently energetic beam requires rather strong magnetic fields close to the black hole 100-1000 G. However, the model fits imply that the magnetic field in the emission region is only 0.02 G. Thus, the particles are accelerated close to the black hole and propagate a considerable distance before instabilities trigger the dissipation of energy through synchrotron and self-Compton emission. We discuss various approaches to generate enough power to drive the jet and, at the same time, to accelerate particles to 20 TeV energies. Although the parallel beam model has its own problems, it explains some of the long-standing problems that plague models based on Fermi type particle acceleration, like the presence of a very high minimum Lorentz factor of accelerated particles. We conclude with a brief discussion of the implications of the model for the difference between the processes of jet formation in BL Lac type objects and in quasars.

description: Earnest and Khosravani, Iwabuchi, and Kim and Park recently gave a complete classification of the universal binary Hermitian forms. We give a unified proof of the universalities of these Hermitian forms, relying primarily on Ramanujan's list of universal quadratic forms and on the Bhargava-Hanke 290-Theorem. Our methods bypass nearly all of the ad hoc universality arguments required in the original classification.

description: We extend the visible content of the standard model (SM) with a hidden sector composed of three right-handed singlet neutrinos and one singlet Higgs. These extra singlets are charged under a new U(1)_X gauge symmetry while the SM particles are not. Two heavy scalar doublets are introduced to play the role of the messengers between the visible and hidden sectors. The neutrinos naturally acquire tiny Dirac masses because the ratio of weak scale over the heavy messenger masses is highly suppressed. Furthermore, the heavy messengers simultaneously generate baryon asymmetry of the universe through their out-of-equilibrium CP-violating decays.

description: We investigate the geometrical properties of static vacuum $p$-brane solutions of Einstein gravity in $D=n+p+3$ dimensions, which have spherical symmetry of $S^{n+1}$ orthogonal to the $p$-directions and are invariant under the translation along them. % The solutions are characterized by mass density and $p$ tension densities. % The causal structure of the higher dimensional solutions is essentially the same as that of the five dimensional ones. Namely, a naked singularity appears for most solutions except for the Schwarzschild black $p$-brane and the Kaluza-Klein bubble. % We show that some important geometric properties such as the area of $S^{n+1}$ and the total spatial volume are characterized only by the three parameters such as the mass density, the sum of tension densities and the sum of tension density squares rather than individual tension densities. These geometric properties are analyzed in detail in this parameter space and are compared with those of 5-dimensional case.

description: This report presents the of seismic evaluation of the Ohio river bridge on US51 at Wickliffe, Kentucky. The main bridge is a five-span single-deck cantilever through-truss type. The approach bridge has 21 spans on the Kentucky side and 6 spans on the Illinois side. Although this bridge has not yet been subjected to a moderate or major earthquake, it is situated within the influence of the New Madrid seismic zone.  The seismic evaluation program consists of field testing and seismic response analysis. The modal properties of the main bridge are determined through field testing, and are used to calibrate the three dimensional finite element model. The finite element model is then subjected to time histories of the 50-year earthquake event. Stresses and displacements obtained are within the acceptable limits. Analytical results indicate that the main bridge will survive the projected 50-year earthquake without significant damage and no loss-of-span. Hence, it is not recommended to retrofit the main bridge.  The approach spans are analyzed using response spectrum method with simplified single-degree-of freedom models. Most of the Kentucky and Illinois approach spans require additional anchor bolts at the bearings.

description: Here by combining a symmetry-based analysis with numerical computations we predict a new kind of magnetic ordering - antichiral ferromagnetism. The relationship between chiral and antichiral magnetic order is conceptually similar to the relationship between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order. Without loss of generality, we focus our investigation on crystals with full tetrahedral symmetry where chiral interaction terms - Lifshitz invariants - are forbidden by symmetry. However, we demonstrate that leading chirality-related term leads to nontrivial smooth magnetic textures in the form of helix-like segments of alternating opposite chiralities. The unconventional order manifests itself beyond the ground state by stabilizing excitations such as domains and skyrmions in an antichiral form.

description: To explain recent experiment showing the role of odd fullerenes in formation of abundant fullerene isomers a reactive molecular dynamics (MD) study has been performed. Three types of bond rearrangement reactions are found by MD simulations at 3000 K in odd fullerenes which contain an extra sp atom among all other sp$^2$ atoms. The first type is sto-chastic sp-defect migration analogous to exchange mechanism of adatom migration on a surface. The second type cor-responds to changes in the ring configuration of the sp$^2$-structure assisted by the sp atom which can lead to annealing of seven-membered rings or separation of five-membered rings. The third type is formation of short-living one-coordinated atoms or two additional sp atoms. Annihilation of a pair of sp defects has been also observed in the MD simulations. It is shown that the frequency of sp-defect migration at a lower temperature, as estimated from performed density functional theory calculations of the barriers of sp-defect migration events, is sufficient to deliver the sp atom to defects of sp$^2$ structure during the fullerene formation time. Based on these results, we propose to supplement the self-organization paradigm of fullerene formation by the following four-stage atomistic mechanism of formation of abundant isomers of fullerenes: 1) attachment of single carbon atoms, 2) sp-defect migration to sp$^2$-structure defects, 3) sp$^2$-defect annealing assisted by the sp atom and 4) subsequent annihilation of pairs of sp defects.

Leadership and defensive communication: a grounded theory study of leadership reaction to defensive communication
Creators: name: Peck, Edward W. D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A demonstrated link between effective leadership and the reduction of defensive, communication has been established in research. Leaders who are effective in reducing defensiveness create group climates which foster trust. In these climates people are more productive, content and resourceful. Understanding how leaders effectively manage defensive communication is critical to effective leadership. The purpose of this study was to explore how leaders react to group defensive communication climates. Leaders' reaction to critical defensive group experiences was analyzed through grounded theory, what emerged is a process used by experienced leaders to manage their internal emotional reactions to the defensive climate. This process, outlined in five main stages, is linked directly to the successful outcome of the defensive situation.

description: The subleading eigenvalues and associated eigenfunctions of the Perron-Frobenius operator for 2-dimensional area-preserving maps are numerically investigated. We closely examine the validity of the so-called Ulam method, a numerical scheme believed to provide eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Perron-Frobenius operator, both for linear and nonlinear maps on the torus. For the nonlinear case, the second-largest eigenvalues and the associated eigenfunctions of the Perron-Frobenius operator are investigated by calculating the Fokker-Planck operator with sufficiently small diffusivity. On the basis of numerical schemes thus established, we find that eigenfunctions for the subleading eigenvalues exhibit spatially inhomogeneous patterns, especially showing localization around the region where unstable manifolds are sparsely running. Finally, such spatial patterns of the eigenfunction are shown to be very close to the distribution of the maximal finite-time Lyapunov exponents.

description: We report the magnetic field-amplitude and field-angle dependence of the superconducting onset temperature Tc_onset of the organic superconductor (TMTSF)2ClO4 in magnetic fields H accurately aligned to the conductive ab' plane. We revealed that the rapid increase of the onset fields at low temperatures occurs both for H // b' and H // a, irrespective of the carrier confinement. Moreover, in the vicinity of the Pauli limiting field, we report a shift of a principal axis of the in-plane field-angle dependence of Tc_onset away from the b' axis. This feature may be related to an occurrence of Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phases.

description: Even in deep X-ray surveys, Compton-thick active galactic nuclei (CT AGNs, ${\rm N_H} \geqslant 1.5~\times~10^{24}~{\rm cm}^{-2}$) are difficult to be identified due to X-ray flux suppression and their complex spectral shape. However, the study of CT AGNs is vital for understanding the rapid growth of black holes and the origin of cosmic X-ray background. In the local universe, the fraction of CT AGNs accounts for 30% of the whole AGN population. We may expect a higher fraction of CT AGNs in deep X-ray surveys, however, only 10% of AGNs have been identified as CT AGNs in the 7 Ms \textit{Chandra} Deep Field-South (CDFS) survey. In this work, we select 51 AGNs with abundant multi-wavelength data. Using the method of the mid-infrared (mid-IR) excess, we select hitherto unknown 8 CT AGN candidates in our sample. Seven of these candidates can confirm as CT AGN based on the multi-wavelength identification approach, and a new CT AGN (XID 133) is identified through the mid-IR diagnostics. We also discuss the X-ray origin of these eight CT AGNs and the reason why their column densities were underestimated in previous studies. We find that the multi-wavelength approaches of selecting CT AGNs are highly efficient, provided the high quality of observational data. We also find that CT AGNs have a higher Eddington ratio than non-CT AGNs, and that both CT AGNs and non-CT AGNs show similar properties of host galaxies.

description: We present several constraints on the absolute Galois groups G_F of fields F containing a primitive pth root of unity, using restrictions on the cohomology of index p normal subgroups from a previous paper by three of the authors. We first classify all maximal p-elementary abelian-by-order p quotients of such G_F. In the case p>2, each such quotient contains a unique closed index p elementary abelian subgroup. This seems to be the first case in which one can completely classify nontrivial quotients of absolute Galois groups by characteristic subgroups of normal subgroups. We then derive analogues of theorems of Artin-Schreier and Becker for order p elements of certain small quotients of G_F. Finally, we construct a new family of pro-p-groups which are not absolute Galois groups over any field F.

Development of novel methods to identify genetic causes of female meiotic aneuploidy
Creators: name: Sun, Siqi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Infertility is a major reproductive health issue that affects one in six couples worldwide. Aneuploidy, the deviation from a balanced chromosome complement, is the leading genetic abnormality in early miscarriages. Although an advanced maternal age as an established contributing factor, recent studies suggest that variants in several genes affect chromosome segregation fidelity and further predispose women to a higher incidence of embryonic aneuploidy at younger than average ages. However, the exact genetic cause of aneuploid conception remains unknown, and it is further complicated by the intricate and complex interactions between genetic variants.With the improved scalability and resolution of sequencing technologies, well-characterized data on genome variation become available in patients undergoing preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) in in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics. The wealth of the sequencing data and associated metadata from IVF can potentially be used to suggest the mechanisms of meiosis and identify candidate genes associated with aneuploidy. In this work, I developed different statistical methods to genome sequencing data for candidate gene identification, such as machine learning and genome-wide association study (GWAS). By integrating additional information on gene function from different model organisms, protein-protein interactions networks, and enrichment analyses, such refined workflow enables identified candidate genes, pathways and molecular networks with a high degree of confidence. Several potential genetic causes of aneuploidy have been identified, such as genes CCDC66, MCM5 and FGGY, and pathways related to the microtubule organizing center and DNA recombination. The improved understanding of the genetic basis of maternal meiotic aneuploidy risk opens up the possibility to develop diagnostic tests for the prognosis of aneuploidy risk and better guidance on individualized family planning. More importantly, this generalizable method that incorporates computational findings and functional annotation can be leveraged for similar studies of sequencing data.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η μελέτη του προβλήματος υπολογισμού μιας ακριβούς αναπαράστασης της μορφής των συντονισμών της στοματοφαρυγγικής κοιλότητας σε σήματα φωνής, τα οποία έχουν υψηλή θεμελιώδη συχνότητα, εστιάζοντας στις μεθόδους που χρησιμοποιούνται για το σκοπό αυτό και την αξιολόγηση τους. Τέτοιες φωνές, όπως για παράδειγμα οι τραγουδιστές, παρουσιάζουν ιδιαιτερότητες οι οποίες καθιστούν τον υπολογισμό δυσκολότερο σε σχέση με τη φωνή ομιλίας. Κατά τη διάρκεια της εκπόνησης της εργασίας αναπτύχθηκε μία εφαρμογή παραγωγής τεχνητών σημάτων φωνής, βασισμένη στο γραμμικό διαχωρίσιμο μοντέλο, με εκτενέστατη παραμετροποίηση ώστε να μπορούν να προσομοιωθούν από αυτή κατά το δυνατόν περισσότερα φαινόμενα που συμβαίνουν στην πράξη κατά την παραγωγή έμφωνων ήχων. Τρεις μέθοδοι υπολογισμού των συντονισμών του στοματοφάρυγγα, η LPC Covariance, η cepstrum και μία νέα παραλλαγή της cepstrum αξιολογήθηκαν μέσω προσομοιώσεων ως προς την απόδοσή τους σε σήματα φωνής υψηλής θεμελιώδους συχνότητας. Τα σήματα αυτά παράχθηκαν από την εφαρμογή η οποία αναπτύχθηκε. Τα αποτελέσματα παρατίθενται και βάση αυτών γίνεται η αξιολόγηση.
description: The purpose of this work is to study the problem of an accurate estimation of the formant frequencies that correlate with the vocal tract, from high-pitched speech signals. The study focuses on the methods used for this purpose and their evaluation. High-pitched voices, such as singing voices, present particularities that make this estimation more difficult compared to common speech voices. During this study software was developed for the production of artificial voice signals. The parameterization of this software is as extensive as possible in order to exceed its ability to simulate a plead of natural voiced sounds effects. Three formant estimation methods, i.e. LPC Covariance, cepstrum and a new modified cepstrum version, are evaluated through simulations for their effectiveness when high-pitched voices are used. These voice signals are produced by the voiced sounds production software that has been developed. The results are presented and discussed.
Embankment Construction Using Shale

description: Shales have been used extensively in the construction of highway embankments, and other earthen structures, because of the vast amounts of these materials located in many areas of the country and the lack of economical and alternate available materials. Because shales exhibit a wide range of engineering properties and behaviors, many problems have occurred. Numerous shale embankment failures have occurred generally some 1 to 10 years after construction. Settlements of 1 to 3 feet (0.3 - 0.9 m) have been observed in many old embankments and required numerous asphaltic overlays. Shale embankments that settle continuously have been observed to fail eventually. Each year millions of dollars are spent repairing embankments built with shales. This report presents a discussion of some of the research conducted by the University of Kentucky Transportation Center in the seventies and eighties and attempts to address some of the problems that arise in constructing shale embankments. A brief overview of the engineering properties of shales located in Kentucky is presented. Some important factors that need to be considered in designing and building shale embankments are briefly discussed. Finally, a description of the construction of three experimental shale embankments in 1986 is given. These embankments were constructed to evaluate a special shale compaction provision adopted by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to avoid large long-term settlements and instabilities. Observations of long-term settlements of the embankments are presented.

description: We studied the dependence of solid deposit shape obtained by free drying of sessile drops on the particles concentration and Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) particle/substrate interaction. In contrast to previous contributions using pH as a control parameter of interactions, we investigated an unprecedentedly wide range of concentrations and particle/substrate DLVO forces by modifying the nature of the substrate and particles as well as their size and surface chemistry whereas long-distance repulsive interactions between particles were maintained for most of the drying time. Our main result is that the different shapes of deposits obtained by modifying the particle concentration are the same in the different regimes of concentration regardless of particle/substrate interaction in the studied range of DLVO forces and particle concentrations. The second result is that, contrary to expectations, the dominant morphology of dry patterns at low particle concentration always shows a dot-like pattern for all the studied systems.

description: Η εργασία χωρίζεται σε πέντε κεφάλαια και την βιβλιογραφία. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο καταγράφεται, αρχικά, το ευρύτερο περιβάλλον μέσα στο οποίο αναπτύσσεται η τέχνη στη σύγχρονη εποχή και ανιχνευέται στη συνέχεια η σχέση της με την τεχνολογία και τα μέσα που αυτή προσφέρει. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο αναπτύσσεται η έννοια του καλλιτεχνικού μέσου ως υλικό. Η ανάπτυξη αυτή ακολουθεί την ιστορική διαδρομή της μορφοποίησης της ύλης σε όργανο, εργαλείο, μηχανή. Τέλος γίνεται σύνδεση αυτών των εννοιών με το καλλιτεχνικό μέσο. Το τρίτο κεφάλαιο δίνει έμφαση στη γενικότερη σημασία της ύλης ως μέσο για κάθε ανθρώπινη δραστηριότητα από τη σκοπιά κυρίως του εμπορεύσιμου προϊόντος. Στη συνέχεια, δηλαδή στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο, το υλικό εξετάζεται υπό το πρίσμα της αισθητικής που το ίδιο παράγει ως προϊόν. Η εργασία κλείνει με τον επίλογο αφήνοντας ανοιχτά τα ζητήματα που αναπτύχθηκαν για περαιτέρω εξέταση.
description: This paper is divided into five chapters, plus the references. In the first chapter I present the broader context in which art is being developed today and I explore the relation between art, technology and technological medium. In the second chapter I examine the concept of artistic medium as material, following the historical route of the material being transformed into, instrument, tool and machine. I relate these consepts with the artistic medium. The third chapter emphasizes the more general meaning of material as a medium for any human activity from the point of view of the marketable product. In the fourth chapter I examine the material from the point of view of the aesthetics which is produced by the product itself. The paper finishes with a conclusion leaving the above mentioned issues open for future elaboration.
