Quenched Invariance Principles for the Discrete Fourier Transforms of a Stationary Process

description: In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the normalized cadlag functions generated by the discrete Fourier transforms of a stationary centered square-integrable process, started at a point. We prove that the quenched invariance principle holds for averaged frequencies under no assumption other than ergodicity, and that this result holds also for almost every fixed frequency under a certain generalization of the Hannan condition and a certain rotated form of the Maxwell and Woodroofe condition which, under a condition of weak dependence that we specify, is guaranteed for a.e. frequency. If the process is in particular weakly mixing, our results describe the asymptotic distributions of the normalized discrete Fourier transforms at every frequency other than $0$ and $π$ under the generalized Hannan condition. We prove also that under a certain regularity hypothesis the conditional centering is irrelevant for averaged frequencies, and that the same holds for a given fixed frequency under the rotated Maxwell and Woodroofe condition but not necessarily under the generalized Hannan condition. In particular, this implies that the hypothesis of regularity is not sufficient for functional convergence without random centering at a.e. fixed frequency. The proofs are based on martingale approximations and combine results from Ergodic theory of recent and classical origin with approximation results by contemporary authors and with some facts from Harmonic Analysis and Functional Analysis.

(Non)Uniqueness of critical points in variational data assimilation
Creators: name: Cox, Graham
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: In this paper we apply the 4D-Var data assimilation scheme to the initialization problem for a family of quasilinear evolution equations. The resulting variational problem is non-convex, so it need not have a unique minimizer. We comment on the implications of non-uniqueness in numerical applications, then prove uniqueness results in the following situations: 1) the observational times are all sufficiently small; 2) the prior covariance is sufficiently small. We also give an example of a data set where the cost functional has a critical point of arbitrarily large Morse index.
A clinical pathway for early identification and management of sepsis
Creators: name: Moss, Quaseria
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: PURPOSESepsis is a time-dependent disorder, and early detection can lead to decreased mortality risk if diagnosed and treated early. The purpose of this project was to develop and implement a nurse-driven clinical pathway to improve the early recognition and treatment of sepsis in a senior healthcare facility .METHODSIn September 2021, the project was implemented with a six-week pilot phase which included the education of staff nurses on the pathophysiology of sepsis and use of the clinical pathway. Evaluation of the program's effectiveness was done with an anonymous web-based survey administered at the end of the implementation phase. Outcomes were collected by prospective chart reviews to measure adherence, use of the sepsis screening tool, and any missed sepsis assessments during the six- week pilot phase. RESULTSThere was a total of 46 charts reviewed during the implementation phase, of the 46 charts reviewed at the long-term care facility, 16 patients (34%) had a MEWs score >1, and 27 patients (58%) with a MEW score >2. There were three patients (23%) who scored a MEWs of 3, one of those three was actively being treated in the facility for sepsis and two of the three (4%) were transferred to a higher level of care. The results of the study revealed that by integrating the sepsis screening tool in long-term care, early detection, and prompt initiation of treatment for sepsis will be improved. IMPLICATIONSImplementing the sepsis clinical pathway may reduce healthcare cost by increasing early detection, aiding in sepsis diagnoses, and initiating evidence-based treatment of referral to a higher level of care before sepsis progresses. This project also demonstrated that long-term care facilities can efficiently use a sepsis screening tool to recognize suspected sepsis; therefore, patient care may be improved through early identification and treatment of sepsis before transfer to a higher level of care is needed.

description: We present results of a ground-based survey for Cepheid variables in NGC 4258. This galaxy plays a key role in the Extragalactic Distance Scale due to its very precise and accurate distance determination via VLBI observations of water masers. We imaged two fields within this galaxy using the Gemini North telescope and GMOS, obtaining 16 epochs of data in the SDSS gri bands over 4 years. We carried out PSF photometry and detected 94 Cepheids with periods between 7 and 127 days, as well as an additional 215 variables which may be Cepheids or Population II pulsators. We used the Cepheid sample to test the absolute calibration of theoretical gri Period-Luminosity relations and found good agreement with the maser distance to this galaxy. The expected data products from the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) should enable Cepheid searches out to at least 10 Mpc.

description: Perturbed Runge--Kutta methods (also referred to as downwind Runge--Kutta methods) can guarantee monotonicity preservation under larger step sizes relative to their traditional Runge--Kutta counterparts. In this paper we study, the question of how to optimally perturb a given method in order to increase the radius of absolute monotonicity (a.m.). We prove that for methods with zero radius of a.m., it is always possible to give a perturbation with positive radius. We first study methods for linear problems and then methods for nonlinear problems. In each case, we prove upper bounds on the radius of a.m., and provide algorithms to compute optimal perturbations. We also provide optimal perturbations for many known methods.

description: Estimating the absolute number of individuals in populations and their fecundity is central to understanding the ecosystem role of species and their population dynamics as well as allowing informed conservation management for endangered species. Estimates of abundance and fecundity are often difficult to obtain for rare or cryptic species. Yet, in addition, here we show for a charismatic group, sea turtles, that are neither cryptic nor rare and whose nesting is easy to observe, that the traditional approach of direct observations of nesting has likely led to a gross over-estimation of the number of individuals in populations and underestimation of their fecundity. We use high-resolution GPS satellite tags to track female green turtles throughout their nesting season in the Chagos Archipelago (Indian Ocean) and assess when and where they nested. For individual turtles, nest locations were often spread over several tens of kilometres of coastline. Assessed by satellite observations, a mean of 6.0 clutches (range 2–9, s.d. = 2.2) was laid by individuals, about twice as many as previously assumed, a finding also reported in other species and ocean basins. Taken together, these findings suggest that the actual number of nesting turtles may be almost 50% less than previously assumed.

description: To simulate the interaction of cosmic rays with the Earth atmosphere requires highly complex computational resources and several statistical techniques have been developed to simplify those calculations. It is common to implement the thinning algorithms to reduce the number of secondary particles by assigning weights to representative particles in the evolution of the cascade. However, since this is a compression method with information loss, it is required to recover the original flux of secondary particles without introduce artificial biases. In this work we present the preliminary results of our version of the de-thinning algorithm for the reconstruction of thinned simulations of extensive air showers initiated by cosmic rays and photons in the energy range $10^{15} < E/\mathrm{eV} < 10^{17}$.

description: Much work has been done on relaxation oscillations and other simple oscillators in conceptual climate models. However, the oscillatory patterns in climate data are often more complicated than what can be described by such mechanisms. This paper examines complex oscillatory behavior in climate data through the lens of mixed-mode oscillations. As a case study, a conceptual climate model with governing equations for global mean temperature, atmospheric carbon, and oceanic carbon is analyzed. The nondimensionalized model is a fast/slow system with one fast variable (corresponding to ice volume) and two slow variables (corresponding to the two carbon stores). Geometric singular perturbation theory is used to demonstrate the existence of a folded node singularity. A parameter regime is found in which (singular) trajectories that pass through the folded node are returned to the singular funnel in the limiting case where ϵ = 0. In this parameter regime, the model has a stable periodic orbit of type 1s for some s > 0. To our knowledge, it is the  rst conceptual climate model demonstrated to have the capability to produce an MMO pattern.

description: Our Sun, primarily composed of ionized hydrogen and helium, has a surface temperature of 5777~K and a radius $R_\odot \approx 696,000$ km. In the outer $R_\odot/3$, energy transport is accomplished primarily by convection. Using typical convective velocities $u\sim100\,\rm{m\,s^{-1}}$ and kinematic viscosities of order $10^{-4}$ m$^{2}$s$^{-1}$, we obtain a Reynolds number $Re \sim 10^{14}$. Convection is thus turbulent, causing a vast range of scales to be excited. The Prandtl number, $Pr$, of the convecting fluid is very low, of order $10^{-7}$\,--\,$10^{-4}$, so that the Rayleigh number ($\sim Re^2 Pr$) is on the order of $10^{21}\,-\,10^{24}$. Solar convection thus lies in extraordinary regime of dynamical parameters, highly untypical of fluid flows on Earth. Convective processes in the Sun drive global fluid circulations and magnetic fields, which in turn affect its visible outer layers ("solar activity") and, more broadly, the heliosphere ("space weather"). The precise determination of the depth of solar convection zone, departures from adiabaticity of the temperature gradient, and the internal rotation rate as a function of latitude and depth are among the seminal contributions of helioseismology towards understanding convection in the Sun. Contemporary helioseismology, which is focused on inferring the properties of three-dimensional convective features, suggests that transport velocities are substantially smaller than theoretical predictions. Furthermore, helioseismology provides important constraints on the anisotropic Reynolds stresses that control the global dynamics of the solar convection zone. This review discusses the state of our understanding of convection in the Sun, with a focus on helioseismic diagnostics. We present our considerations with the interests of fluid dynamicists in mind.

description: Electrical equivalent circuit modeling of active components is one of the most important approaches for modeling high-frequency high-power devices. Amongst the most used microwave devices, AlGaN/GaN HEMTs demonstrated their superior performance, making them highly suitable for 5G, wireless and satellite communications. Despite the remarkable performance of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, these devices reside on substrates that invoke limitations on the operating-frequency, power-efficiency, and current dispersion phenomenon. Also, there is a limitation in present parameters extraction techniques being not able to consider both the substrate effect (Silicon, Silicon Carbide, and Diamond) and the asymmetrical GaN HEMT structure. In this thesis work, a single extrinsic parameters extraction technique using a single small-signal topology takes into account both the asymmetrical GaN HEMT structure and the different substrate types with their parasitic conduction will be developed and studied for the first time. Moreover, large-signal modeling using Quasi-Physical Zone Division technique has been applied to both GaN/D and GaN/SiC to model the isothermal-trapping free drain current, and combined with a new simple technique for comparing performance between active devices in terms of current-dispersion. The models were verified by simulating the small-signal S-parameters, large-signal IV characteristics, and single-tone load-pull. High accuracy was achieved compared to the measurement data available in the technical literature and obtained from fabricated devices.

description: Purpose of Project:There is a gap in provider knowledge on the utilization of Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) in the family care setting. The aim of this quality improvement project was to create a guidebook with information regarding costs, coverage requirements, and prescribing instructions for different insurance companies. Methodology: A retrospective chart review was performed to collect data on the number of diabetic patients prescribed CGMs three months prior to implementing the provider guidebook. The goal was to increase provider knowledge and comfort on prescribing CGMs with the utilization of the new provider guidebook. Results: Results showed that with the readily available information provided in the new guidebook, providers prescribed more CGMs. The percentage of sampled patients who utilized CGMs before intervention out of all the patients that were prescribed CGM was 80%. Whereas the percentage of the post-intervention sample who utilized CGMs out of all the patients prescribed CGMs was 100%. Implications:This project had an implication on education, clinical practice, quality, and safety as the office staff gained knowledge on CGM coverage and costs to better help direct patient care.

description: Detection of UV photons is becoming increasingly necessary with the use of noble gases and liquids in elementary particle experiments. Cerenkov light in crystals and glasses, scintillation light in neutrino, dark matter, and rare decay experiments all require sensitivity to UV photons. New sensor materials are needed that can directly detect UV photons and/or absorb UV photons and re-emit light in the visible range measurable by existing photosensors. It has been shown that silicon nanoparticles are sensitive to UV light in a wavelength range around ~200 nm. UV light is absorbed and re-emitted at wavelengths in the visible range depending on the size of the nanoparticles. Initial tests of the wavelength-shifting properties of silicon nanoparticles are presented here that indicate by placing a film of nanoparticles in front of a standard visible-wavelength detecting photosensor, the response of the sensor is significantly enhanced at wavelengths < 320 nm.

description: Low-lying quadrupole shape dynamics is a typical manifestation of large amplitude collective motion in finite nuclei. To describe the dynamics on a microscopic foundation, we have formulated a consistent scheme in which the Bohr collective Hamiltonian for the five dimensional quadrupole shape variables is derived on the basis of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory. It enables us to incorporates the Thouless-Valatin effect on the shape inertial functions, which has been neglected in previous microscopic Bohr Hamiltonian approaches. Quantitative successes are illustrated for the low-lying spectra in 68Se, 30−34Mg and 58−64Cr, which display shape-coexistence, -mixing and -transitional behaviors.
NOVEL BIOTECHNOLOGICAL APPROACH TO INCREASE ABIOTIC STRESS TOLERANCE AND SEED DEVELOPMENT IN BRASSICA NAPUS

description: In plants, E3 ubiquitin ligases play crucial roles in facilitating rapid reactions to environmental stresses by triggering the degradation of proteins. The E3 ligase CRL3BPM regulates the stability of specific transcription factors involved in complex biological processes, including growth, development, and stress response. CRL3BPM can recognize and bind to two specific motifs, called PEST and SBC, on targeted transcription factors. CRL3BPM-substrate interaction leads to the buildup of a chain of ubiquitin molecules that serve as a signal for degradation by the 26S proteasome. From signal perception to substrate degradation, this process may only minutes and because of this, E3 ligases are regarded as regulators of quick responses to environmental changes. However, they also represent interesting targets for affecting substrate stability. By modulating their activities to either delay or promote substrate degradation, they can be a suitable tool to improve critical plant traits such as biomass, seed yield, or abiotic stress tolerance.
description: In this master's thesis, Brassica napus plants were transformed with two expression constructs containing either the PEST or the SBC motif. Both constructs were expressed under the control of a WRINKLED1.2 promoter that confers gene expression in young seedlings and developing seeds. The central hypothesis of this study was that expression of the PEST or the SBC motif at specific developmental stages would result in the transient blocking of CRL3BPM activity, leading to extended half-lives of CRL3BPM substrates. Since substrates of CRL3BPM play roles in abiotic stress responses and seed fatty acid biosynthesis, we tested our hypothesis by exposing germinating seeds to abiotic stress and investigated the transgenic plants for altered seed development. We observed that transgenic B. napus expressing the PEST motif under the control of the WRI1.2 promoter significantly increased tolerance under osmotic and salt stress in germinating seedlings and produced heavier seeds. These data support our hypothesis and validate our approach of using an E3 ligase as a novel tool for generating crop plants with improved traits.
Tunneling spectroscopy and Majorana modes emergent from topological gapless phases in high-Tc cuprate superconductors

description: We explore possible signatures for observing Majorana Fermions in the tunneling spectroscopy of high-Tc cuprate superconductors. We find that as long as the Rashba spin orbit interaction is in presence either through proximity effect due to an electrode made by heavy metal or by the intrinsic nature of cuprates, in addition to the Heisenberg spin exchange interaction, the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and spin dipole-dipole interactions are induced. As a result, $p$-wave superconductivity is induced with the gap function $d$-vector being not aligned with the internal magnetic field of the spin-orbit interaction. Most importantly, the ground state goes through transitions into gapless phases with split nodal points. The split nodal structure always results in Majorana modes for any interfaces that are not exactly in (100) or (010) directions. Hence for general interfaces, existence of Majorana bound edge states is a robust feature. Our results indicate that these Majorana modes would result in a small plateau in tunneling spectrum near zero bias peak and in 4 $π$ periodicity in typical SIS$'$ junctions . As a result, it is easy for a $π$-ring in tricrystal experiments to hold Majorana Ferimions and exhibit periods of two flux quanta in external magnetic fields. These phenomena may have been already observed in experiments and their connections to experimental results are discussed.

description: L-threonine ammonium bromide (LTAB) is a significant nonlinear optical (NLO) material. The crystal has been grown by the slow evaporation technique (SET). Ammonium bromide has properties, which are that of chiral molecules and zwitterions environmental benefits due to advance NLO properties of LTAB. L-threonine-doped ammonium bromide crystals are grown using SET at ambient temperature. In this study, the unit cell factors are derived from X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The powder XRD spectra suggests the formation of orthorhombic crystal system. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis depicts the different functional groups offered in the grown crystals. The study of optical transmittance was done by crystals utilizing ultraviolet, visible, spectral analytical methods. Further, the minimum cutoff wavelength of the grown crystal has been recognized as 220 nm. The overall result of the second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency is depicted higher and nearly around LTAB obtained crystal which is greater than potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP). It proves the potential application of LTAB crystal in optoelectronic industries.
Exceptional Points and their Consequences in Open, Minimal Quantum Systems

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Foundations of quantum mechanics

description: Open quantum systems have become a rapidly developing sector for research. Such systems present novel physical phenomena, such as topological chirality, enhanced sensitivity, and unidirectional invisibility resulting from both their non-equilibrium dynamics and the presence of exceptional points.
 We begin by introducing the core features of open systems governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, providing the PT -dimer as an illustrative example. Proceeding, we introduce the Lindblad master equation which provides a working description of decoherence in quantum systems, and investigate its properties through the Decohering Dimer and periodic potentials. We then detail our preferred experimental apparatus governed by the Lindbladian. Finally, we introduce the Liouvillian, its relation to non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and Lindbladians, and through it investigate multiple properties of open quantum systems.

description: How can engagement, visualization tools, and handworkmanship promote thinking beyond traditional modes of garment design? Traditional garment creation has a deep history of craft, quality workmanship, and culture. As the collective skills of weaving, sewing, and draping are being challenged through societal influences of consumerism and the roles of clothing, this research seeks to blend traditional garment design processes with emerging visualization tools to order to support manual making skills. Through seeing the final silhouette true to the 3-dimensional shape, a custom textile was created with both manual and digital applications on a digital jacquard loom. By bringing in other designers’ perspectives, design philosophies, and digital visualization tools, a series of artifacts were created to support a proposed theatrical production, Future Human.

description: Access to credit, with its multiple implications in terms of financial and social inclusion (the latter especially when consumers are involved), has been subject to important interventions at the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The paper examines the impact of these ‘emergency’ measures on the existing framework of private law regulating loans and the opposition of interests which follow from the adoption of these policies. It also evaluates more in general the role of financial institutions as actors, often on behalf of the State, in the governance of emergency situations.

Anisotropic microstructure-induced reduction of the Rayleigh instability for liquid crystalline polymers
Creators: name: Forest, M.Gregory
name: Wang, Qi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1998

description: We analyze a macroscopic 3-D model for flows of liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs), deduced from Doi-type kinetic equations. The Doi model accounts for rigid-rod microstructure, which introduces elastic relaxation and polymer-induced viscosity in addition to a Newtonian solvent viscosity, thus capturing all effects contained in standard isotropic viscoelastic models for Maxwell and Oldroyd B fluids. The rod-like microstructure further introduces anisotropic effects in the form of drag on the rods, together with a short-range, Maier-Saupe intermolecular potential, whose critical points vary with LCP concentration and yield stable isotropic (at low density) and nematic (at high density) equilibrium phases. From this single model, we compare various physical mechanisms for reducing the capillary instability of inviscid cylindrical jets: solvent viscosity as studied by Rayleigh and Chandrasekhar; isotropic viscoelasticity, both with and without Newtonian solvent viscosity; anisotropic polymer friction; and finally, the nematic, highly aligned prolate phase at high LCP density. Realistic parameter values for LCPs correspond to a regime in which the LCP capillary number (polymer bulk free energy relative to surface tension) is above an identified critical value; in such regimes, the unstable growthrates of the isotropic and nematic phases are lowered arbitrarily close to zero if the molecular drag is sufficiently anisotropic even in the absence of solvent viscosity. In low capillary number regimes, where surface tension dominates LCP bulk free energy, the LCP growthrates are sandwiched below the inviscid Rayleigh curve and above an explicit positive lower bound.

description: We analyze implementations of bipartite unitaries by means of local operations and classical communication (LOCC) assisted by shared entanglement. We employ concepts and techniques developed in quantum Shannon theory to study an asymptotic scenario, in which two distant parties perform the same bipartite unitary on infinitely many pairs of inputs. We analyze minimum cost of entanglement and classical communication per copy. For two-round LOCC protocols, we derive a single-letter formula for the minimum cost of entanglement and classical communication, under an additional requirement that the error converges to zero faster than $1/n^4$, where $n$ is the number of input pairs. The formula is given by the "Markovianizing cost" of a tripartite state associated with the unitary, which can be computed by a finite-step algorithm. We also derive a lower bound on the minimum cost of resources, which applies for protocols with arbitrary number of rounds.

Observable frequency shifts via spin-rotation coupling

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: The phase perturbation arising from spin-rotation coupling is developed as a natural extension of the celebrated Sagnac effect. Experimental evidence in support of this phase shift, however, has yet to be realized due to the exceptional sensitivity required. We draw attention to the relevance of a series of experiments establishing that circularly polarized light, upon passing through a rotating half-wave plate, is changed in frequency by twice the rotation rate. These experiments may be interpreted as demonstrating the role of spin-rotation coupling in inducing this frequency shift, thus providing direct empirical verification of the coupling of the photon helicity to rotation. A neutron interferometry experiment is proposed which would be sensitive to an analogous frequency shift for fermions. In this arrangement, polarized neutrons enter an interferometer containing two spin flippers, one of which is rotating while the other is held stationary. An observable beating in the transmitted neutron beam intensity is predicted.
