Measurement of shear strength and texture evolution in BCC materials subjected to high pressures
Creators: name: Escobedo, Juan Pablo
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Body-centered cubic metals -- Mechanical properties

description: Deformation modeling of metals subjected to extreme pressures and strain rates requires an understanding of the pressure-dependent dislocation core structure and its effect upon dislocation mobility. The core structure and dislocation mobilities can be predicted as a function of applied pressure from sophisticated interatomic potentials calculations and first-principles based atomistic simulations. The goal of the thesis is to develop and implement a testing procedure that experimentally determines pressure-dependent dislocation mobilities in oriented single crystals of the BCC transition metals. These experiments provide calibration data for models of materials subjected to extreme pressures and assist in model validation such as the Steinberg-Guinan hardening model or discrete dislocation dynamics simulations. An experimental procedure is reported to perform shear tests on specimens held under moderately high hydrostatic pressures (on the order of 10 GPa). A thin foil of polycrystalline Ta was used to perform experiments under hydrostatic pressures ranging from 2.1 to 4.2 GPa. A change in texture due to accumulation of slip was observed. Close to a strain of 1, the texture is predicted to change from {111} + {100} to{101}+{121}+{123}, the primary and secondary slip planes in BCC. These {101}+{121}+{123} textures were present in all the samples subjected to pressures greater than the threshold pressure to have internal shearing. The experimental (TEM) evidence shows different microstructures with the pressure being the only variable. At low pressures (2 GPa), an expected microstructure containing only dislocations was found to be responsible for the plastic deformation. At higher pressures (4 GPa) the dislocations appear to arrange themselves into elongated cell walls, with widths of 50-100 nm and lengths close to a micron. Testing on Mo single crystals were carried out. Two different orientations {110}<111> and {121}<111> were tested such that simple shear deformation was achieved by single slip on a single slip system with no additional slip activity. The experiments provided data on the shear-stress – shear strain behavior of the single crystals as a function of pressure, giving an indication of dislocation mobility on the given slip system.
description: In all the cases, yielding and hardening behavior were observed to be sensitive to the imposed pressure. The values obtained experimentally are considerably higher than those predicted by the models based on a linear pressure-dependent shear modulus G(P).
Efficient common-envelope ejection through dust-driven winds

description: Common-envelope evolution (CEE) is the short-lived phase in the life of an interacting binary-system during which two stars orbit inside a single shared envelope. Such evolution is thought to lead to the inspiral of the binary, the ejection of the extended envelope and the formation of a remnant short-period binary. However, detailed hydrodynamical models of CEE encounter major difficulties. They show that following the inspiral most of the envelope is not ejected; though it expands to larger separations, it remains bound to the binary. Here we propose that dust-driven winds can be produced following the CEE. These can evaporate the envelope following similar processes operating in the ejection of the envelopes of AGB stars. Pulsations in an AGB-star drives the expansion of its envelope, allowing the material to cool down to low temperatures thus enabling dust condensation. Radiation pressure on the dust accelerates it, and through its coupling to the gas it drives winds which eventually completely erode the envelope. We show that the inspiral phase in CE-binaries can effectively replace the role of stellar pulsation and drive the CE expansion to scales comparable with those of AGB stars, and give rise to efficient mass-loss through dust-driven winds.

description: The present research paper analyses the novels Tale of a Certain Orient by Brazilian author Milton Hatoum, and Blackbodying by Canadian author Dimitri Nasrallah, regarding their depictions of the Lebanese migratory experience in two different settings: the Amazon region in the early 20th century, and Toronto in the late 20th century. Using the frame of labour and race relations, as well as analysing the use and rejection of Orientalist stereotypes, I highlight the similarities, but mostly the differences, between various experiences of migration of people originating in the same place. While the Brazilian novel shows us the social and economic ascent of a Lebanese family in the context of early 20th century Manaus, privileged by their position in relation to their local Black and Indigenous employees, the Canadian novel brings forth the hardships and isolation of a recent immigrant fleeing war and left entirely to his own devices in a hostile new environment. I conclude that despite their regional differences, the two novels resonate with universal messages that are relevant to many people’s experiences in a globalized world shaped by migration and displacement.

description: We present some results about spontaneous breaking of global symmetries for four-flavor, three color QCD on compact spaces with two short directions. When the two short directions have equal length and identical boundary conditions, there is a single transition. When the two short directions have boundary conditions of opposite parity and are of roughly equal extent, the C-breaking and deconfinement transitions separate. When the two short dimensions are of different length, the transitions are modified in qualitative agreement with expectations from dimensional reduction. These features resemble the situation in pure gauge simulations at small and large number of colors.

Controlling invasive ant species: a theoretical strategy for efficient monitoring in the early stage of invasion

Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: Invasion by the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, has destructive effects on native biodiversity, agriculture, and public health. This ant's aggressive foraging behaviour and high reproductive capability have enabled its establishment of wild populations in most regions into which it has been imported. An important aspect of eradication is thorough nest monitoring and destruction during early invasion to prevent range expansion. The question is: How intense must monitoring be on temporal and spatial scales to eradicate the fire ant? Assuming that the ant was introduced into a region and that monitoring was conducted immediately after nest detection in an effort to detect all other potentially established nests, we developed a mathematical model to investigate detection rates. Setting the monitoring limit to three years, the detection rate was maximized when monitoring was conducted shifting bait trap locations and setting them at intervals of 30 m for each monitoring. Monitoring should be conducted in a radius of at least 4 km around the source nest, or wider --depending on how late a nest is found. For ease of application, we also derived equations for finding the minimum bait interval required in an arbitrary ant species for thorough monitoring.

Source apportionment of Spokane fine fraction air pollution using the Spokane health effects database and positive matrix factorization

Year: 2006
Subjects: Air -- Pollution -- Measurement -- Washington (State) -- Spokane

description: The Spokane PM database currently contains one of the largest continuous PM2.5 daily mass databases available. Coverage includes, but is not limited to: total carbon, elemental and organic fraction carbon, particulate ions, and trace element information, from 1995-2002, taken from an area of Eastern Washington subjected to agricultural, industrial, urban, and rural pollution. Daily PM2.5 mass samples were analyzed with several measurement methods: Kevex and Jordan Valley EDX-771 energy dispersive spectrometers, Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis, for trace element species; total carbon by thermal manganese oxidation; total carbon, elemental and organic fractions by thermal/optical transmittance; sulfate and nitrate by ion chromatography; and ammonium by colorimetry. The data were modeled to identify pollution sources with the new Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model, version 1.1, released by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.; The PMF models revealed seven source features, similar to profiles identified in earlier work using various sets of the PM2.5 data. PMF analyses using the XRF data yielded airborne soil, nitrate, biomass burning, chlorine-rich, metal processing, and vehicle combustion features. INAA data yielded the seventh feature, a Cr-rich feature, which was associated with elemental carbon. Bootstrapping and t test methods confirm the features mass contributions to the overall ambient PM2.5 concentrations. Airborne soil was associated with late summer dust events, with little to no carbon. Metal processing contains organic carbon, whereas the Cl-rich source contained elemental and light organic carbon. The Cl-rich source determined using Jordan Valley data is confused with the vehicle exhaust and biomass burning sources, due in part to the lack of a calibration standard for the instrument. These source features were tied to their specific industrial sources, which can vary sporadically throughout the study period. Nitrate is associated with domestic burning and increases in winter, with organic carbon components. Biomass burning occurred in late fall or early spring, when fields were burned for future growing seasons, and shares similar feature species with vehicle exhaust, which was present consistently throughout the entire study period. Both biomass burning and vehicle exhaust contain elemental and organic carbon; the exhaust exhibited heavier organic compounds, and biomass burning, mostly lighter compounds.
Magnetic and Electric Black Holes in the Vector-Tensor Horndeski Theory

description: We construct exact solutions of magnetically charged black holes in the vector-tensor Horndeski gravity and discuss their main features. Unlike the analogous electric case, the field equations are linear in a simple (quite standard) parametrization of the metric tensor and they can be solved analytically even when a cosmological constant is added. The solutions are presented in terms of hypergeometric functions which makes the analysis of the black hole properties relatively straightforward. Some of the aspects of these black holes are quite ordinary like the existence of extremal configurations with maximal magnetic charge for a given mass, or the existence of a mass with maximal temperature for a given charge, but others are somewhat unexpected, like the existence of black holes with a repulsive gravitational field. We perform our analysis for both signs of the non-minimal coupling constant and find black hole solutions in both cases but with significant differences between them. The most prominent difference is the fact that the black holes for the negative coupling constant have a spherical surface of curvature singularity rather than a single point. On the other hand, the gravitational field produced around this kind of black holes is always attractive. Also, for small enough magnetic charge and negative coupling constant, extremal black holes do not exist and all magnetic black holes have a single horizon. In addition we study the trajectories around these magnetic black holes for light as well as massive particles either neutral or electrically charged. Finally, we compare the main features of these black holes with their electric counterparts, adding some aspects that have not been discussed before, like temperature, particle trajectories and light deflection by electrically charged Horndesky black holes.

X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations in Lense--Thirring precession model - I. variability of relativistic continuum

description: We develop a Monte-Carlo code to compute the Compton scattered X-ray flux arising from a hot inner flow which undergoes Lense-Thirring precession. The hot flow intercepts seed photons from an outer truncated thin disk. A fraction of the Comptonized photons will illuminate back the disk and the reflected/reprocessed photons will contribute to the observed spectrum. The total spectrum, including disk thermal emission, hot flow Comptonization, and disk reflection, is modelled within the framework of general relativity, taking light-bending and gravitational redshift into account. The simulations are performed in the context of the Lense-Thirring precession model for the low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations, so the inner flow is assumed to precess, leading to periodic modulation of the emitted radiation. In this work, we concentrate on the energy-dependent X-ray variability of the model and, in particular, on the evolution of the variability during the spectral transition from hard to soft state, which is implemented by the decrease of the truncation radius of the outer disk towards Innermost Stable Circular Orbit (ISCO). In the hard state where the Comptonizing flow is geometrically thick, the Comptonization is weakly variable with the fractional variability amplitude of $\leq$10\%; in the soft state where the Comptonizing flow is cooled down and thus becomes geometrically thin, and the fractional variability of the Comptonization is highly variable, increasing with photon energy. The fractional variability of the reflection increases with energy, and the reflection emission for low spin is counterintuitively more variable than the one for high spin.

description: Although pyrazine-linked hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs, pore size <7 Å) are benchmark physisorbents for trace carbon dioxide (CO2) capture under dry conditions, their affinity for water (H2O) mitigates their carbon capture performance in humid conditions. Herein, we report on the co-adsorption of H2O and CO2 by TIFSIX-3- Ni—a high CO2 affinity HUM—and find that slow H2O sorption kinetics can enable CO2 uptake and release using shortened adsorption cycles with retention of ca. 90% of dry CO2 uptake. Insight into co-adsorption is provided by in situ infrared spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. The binding sites and sorption mechanisms reveal that both CO2 and H2O molecules occupy the same ultramicropore through favorable interactions between CO2 and H2O at low water loading. An energetically favored water network displaces CO2 molecules at higher loading. Our results offer bottom-up design principles and insight into co-adsorption of CO2 and H2O that is likely to be relevant across the full spectrum of carbon capture sorbents to better understand and address the challenge posed by humidity to gas capture.
Cure kinetics of wood phenol-formaldehyde systems
Creators: name: Wang, Jinwu
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Phenolic resins -- Curing

description: This project aims to develop kinetic models for chemical and mechanical cure development and correlate chemical and mechanical degrees of cure in order to create a comprehensive cure model that encompasses both of these tasks. With these objectives, the cure processes of two commercial phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resol resins with differing molecular weights were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) under isothermal and linear heating regimes. For both resins, cure was characterized in the neat state with DSC, in mixtures of PF/wood flour with DSC, and as a bondline between two wood substrates with DMA. The synergy of DSC and DMA techniques picked up the phase transitions of PF curing processes and characterization were comparable between the two techniques. During a DSC temperature scan, PF resols typically exhibited two exotherms, while in wood/PF mixtures another small exotherm appeared in a lower temperature range, indicating the impact of wood/PF interactions. In contrast, DMA offered a quantitative view of the adhesion mechanics from which the glass transition of uncured resin, gelation, and vitrification points were inferred. An analytical solution was developed to estimate the in situ shear modulus of the adhesive layer during the curing process, a change estimated from 0.01 to 16MPa. The maximum storage modulus and the ratio of maximum to minimum storage modulus were recommended for direct evaluation of wood-PF system.; Model-fitting kinetics of nth order and autocatalytic models can be reasonably applied to the DSC data, while autocatalytic, Prout-Tompkins, and Avrami-Erofeev models have been successfully applied to describe cure development in the DMA. The activation energy of PF curing processes in the neat state was around 85-100 kJ/mol and decreased to 50-70 kJ/mol in the presence of wood. However, it was the model-free kinetics of the Kissinger-Akhira-Sunnose, Friedman and Vyazovkin methods that offered insight into the cure mechanisms of commercial PF resoles and predicted the cure development under isothermal and linear heating regimes for both mechanical and chemical degrees of cure. Mechanical cure development has been correlated with chemical advancement in an empirical equation analog to the Weibull cumulative function. After either mechanical or chemical cure development is characterized, the other can be estimated through connection of the correlation equation between the mechanical and chemical degrees of cure.
Impact of soil biology on nitrogen cycling and weed suppression under newly established organic orchard floor management systems

Subjects: Weeds -- Control

description: Sustainable methods of weed control and nitrogen fertility are a significant challenge in organic orchard production systems. These studies were conducted to determine whether soil tillage, living cover mulch establishment, or amendment of soil with Brassicaceae seed meal (BSM), clove oil herbicide, or wood chip mulch, could be used to suppress weeds and positively impact soil quality to result in enhanced nitrogen (N) supply and tree health. Orchard floor management treatments were established in a newly planted apple orchard and tree health was assessed based upon increase in tree circumference and leaf nutrient status. Soil cores were periodically collected to evaluate soil quality and N supply using biological and chemical indicator analyses. Compost amendment was enriched with 15N fertilizer to track N partitioning among soil, living cover and wood chip mulch residues, and tree leaf components. In greenhouse experiments, weed emergence, stimulation of Pythium spp. populations and root infection by these oomycetes, were monitored in orchard soils amended with BSM's that varied in glucosinolate content. None of the orchard floor treatments produced an ideal combination of weed control, maximum tree growth, sufficient leaf nutrient content, and improved soil quality. Rather, soil quality improvements tended to be achieved at the expense of tree performance. Living cover mulch and BSM amendment resulted in soil quality improvement, but tree health was negatively impacted. Wood chip mulch and clove oil herbicide did not positively impact soil quality and resulted in lower tree health. Soil tillage negatively impacted soil quality but tree health was greatest in this treatment. Weed suppression by BSM amendment was correlated with soil enrichment and root infection by resident pathogenic Pythium spp and not glucosinolate content or composition. These studies indicate that in the short-term, the standard practice of soil tillage is the most effective way to control weeds and meet tree N needs, but it may not be desirable in the long-term. Brassicaceae seed meal amendment can be used to meet tree N needs and selectively enhance resident pathogenic Pythium spp. for the purpose of weed control, but further research is necessary to determine ideal timing and application rates.

description: A prediction-enabled component technology (PECT) is an approach to achieving predictable assembly from certifiable components. A PECT consists of a component technology that has been extended with one or more reasoning frameworks that are used to predict how assemblies of components will behave. Developing and using a PECT involves a number of different activities, many of which are practical only when supported by automation. This paper investigates the nature of PECT infrastructures, summarizes the activities that a PECT infrastructure should support, and proposes a design for the tools that make up a PECT infrastructure. This paper also considers the reusability of such an infrastructure by evaluating the impact that three possible changes to a PECT have on its infrastructure.

description: Irregular cusp of an orthogonal modular variety is a cusp where the lattice for Fourier expansion is strictly smaller than the lattice of translation. Presence of such a cusp affects the study of pluricanonical forms on the modular variety using modular forms. We study toroidal compactification over an irregular cusp, and clarify there the cusp form criterion for the calculation of Kodaira dimension. At the same time, we show that irregular cusps do not arise frequently: besides the cases when the group is neat or contains -1, we prove that the stable orthogonal groups of most (but not all) even lattices have no irregular cusp.
Estimating decay rate of $X^{\pm}(5568)\to B_sπ^{\pm}$ while assuming them to be molecular states

description: Discovery of $X(5568)$ brings up a tremendous interest because it is very special, i.e. made of four different flavors. The D0 collaboration claimed that they observed this resonance through portal $X(5568)\to B_sπ$, but unfortunately, later the LHCb, CMS, CDF and ATLAS collaborations' reports indicate that no such state was found. Almost on the Eve of 2017, the D0 collaboration reconfirmed existence of $X(5568)$ via the semileptonic decay of $B_s$. To further reveal the discrepancy, supposing $X(5568)$ as a molecular state, we calculate the decay rate of $X(5568)\rightarrow B_sπ^+$ in an extended light front model. Numerically, the theoretically predicted decay width of $Γ(X(5568)\rightarrow B_sπ^+)$ is $20.28$ MeV which is consistent with the result of the D0 collaboration ($Γ=18.6^{+7.9}_{-6.1}(stat)^{+3.5}_{-3.8}(syst)$ MeV). Since the resonance is narrow, signals might be drowned in a messy background. In analog, two open-charm molecular states $DK$ and $BD$ named as $X_a$ and $X_b$, could be in the same situation. The rates of $X_a\to D_sπ^0$ and $X_b\to B_cπ^0$ are estimated as about 30 MeV and 20 MeV respectively. We suggest the experimental collaborations round the world to search for these two modes and accurate measurements may provide us with valuable information.

description: Weak gravitational lensing by black holes and wormholes in the context of massive gravity (Bebronne and Tinyakov 2009) theory is studied. The particular solution examined is characterized by two integration constants, the mass $M$ and an extra parameter $S$ namely `scalar charge'. These black hole reduce to the standard Schwarzschild black hole solutions when the scalar charge is zero and the mass is positive. In addition, a parameter $λ$ in the metric characterizes so-called 'hair'. The geodesic equations are used to examine the behavior of the deflection angle in four relevant cases of the parameter $λ$. Then, by introducing a simple coordinate transformation $r^λ=S+v^2$ into the black hole metric, we were able to find a massless wormhole solution of Einstein-Rosen (ER) \cite{Einstein} type with scalar charge $S$. The programme is then repeated in terms of the Gauss--Bonnet theorem in the weak field limit after a method is established to deal with the angle of deflection using different domains of integration depending on the parameter $λ$. In particular, we have found new analytical results corresponding to four special cases which generalize the well known deflection angles reported in the literature. Finally, we have established the time delay problem in the spacetime of black holes and wormholes, respectively.

description: For years, the study of eating disorders has focused primarily on Caucasian women, and many believed that eating disorders rarely existed among minorities (Cachelin, Veisel, Barzegarnazari, & Striegel-Moore, 2000). Conflicting research findings on the prevalence and etiology of eating disorder symptomatology in Asian-Americans warrants clinical and research attention. Virtually no published studies have examined the relationship between ethnic identity, acculturation, acculturative stress, and eating disorder symptomatology among Asian IndianAmericans. The purpose of the present study was to 1) examine the relationship between ethnic identity, acculturation, acculturative stress, and eating disorder symptomatology; 2) investigate the prevalence of eating disorder symptomatology among Asian Indian-American women; and 3) evaluate whether a sociocultural model or ethnocultural identity confusion model best explains why this group of women might develop disordered eating. Relationships were also examined between the above-mentioned variables and demographic variables such as age, body mass index, generational status, and length of time residing in the United States. Participants anonymously completed five instruments including a basic demographic questionnaire, the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (Garner, Olmstead, Bohr, & Garfinkel, 1982), Krishnan and Berry's (1992) Acculturation Attitudes Scales, the Social, Attitudinal, Familial, and Environmental Acculturative Stress Scale (Mena, Padilla, & Maldonado, 1987), and the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (Phinney, 1992). The participants included in the data analysis were 147 Asian Indian-American women ranging in age from 18 to 71 years old. Data were analyzed with Pearson correlations and hierarchical multiple regression. A prevalence rate of 12.24% for eating disorder symptomatology was found among Asian Indian-American women. Results indicated that ethnic identity, assimilation, and separation were unrelated to eating disorder symptomatology. Results also indicated that integration, marginalization, body mass index, and acculturative stress were significantly positively correlated with eating disorder symptomatology. Of the key variables examined, acculturative stress was shown to be a unique predictor of eating disorder symptomatology after controlling for the above-mentioned demographic variables in the regression analysis. The present study provided evidence for both sociocultural and ethnocultural models of eating disorders. Limitations to the study, directions for future research, and implications for clinical practice are discussed.

description: Future space astrometry missions are planned to measure positions and/or parallaxes of celestial objects with an accuracy of the order of the microarcsecond. At such a level of accuracy, it will be indispensable to take into account the influence of the mass multipole structure of the giant planets on the bending of light rays. Within the parametrized post-Newtonian formalism, we present an algorithmic procedure enabling to determine explicitly this influence on a light ray connecting two points located at a finite distance. Then we specialize our formulae in the cases where 1) the light source is located at space infinity, 2) both the light source and the observer are located at space infinity. We examine in detail the cases where the unperturbed ray is in the equatorial plane or in a meridian plane.

description: This paper assesses the performance of the D-Wave 2X (DW) quantum annealer for finding a maximum clique in a graph, one of the most fundamental and important NP-hard problems. Because the size of the largest graphs DW can directly solve is quite small (usually around 45 vertices), we also consider decomposition algorithms intended for larger graphs and analyze their performance. For smaller graphs that fit DW, we provide formulations of the maximum clique problem as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem, which is one of the two input types (together with the Ising model) acceptable by the machine, and compare several quantum implementations to current classical algorithms such as simulated annealing, Gurobi, and third-party clique finding heuristics. We further estimate the contributions of the quantum phase of the quantum annealer and the classical post-processing phase typically used to enhance each solution returned by DW. We demonstrate that on random graphs that fit DW, no quantum speedup can be observed compared with the classical algorithms. On the other hand, for instances specifically designed to fit well the DW qubit interconnection network, we observe substantial speed-ups in computing time over classical approaches.

description: Carbon capture and geological storage (CCS) is identified within the portfolio of mitigation options for climate change. Each value chain activity of large scale integrated projects (capture, transport, injection and storage) includes uncertainties and hence potential risks with respect to both environmental and human health protection. With a focus on injection and storage, a structured elicitation of international experts provides quantified judgements and uncertainties and understanding of relative risk of CCS activities. In the 0–50 year, 51–499 year and >500 year time periods, the expert panel suggested an almost equal likelihood of storage leakage occurring, with a marked decrease from minor to major to catastrophic leakage (approximately >1 in 30; 1 in 103; 1 in 104, respectively); for the same time periods, the judgement of likelihood for major leakage that would result in measurable negative effects on human health or the environment was the same (approximately 1 in 103). Insights could stimulate further scientific deliberations about the reliable and effective deployment of this complex and interdisciplinary technological process. A companion paper discusses complementary findings for issues in CCS risk management.
