title: Three-dimensional finite element analysis of concrete pavement on weak foundation
Creators: name: Sii, How Bing (Perry)
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Concrete pavements
subject: Concrete roads
subject: Transverse joint stress
subject: 3D finite element model

description: Essential modern transportation systems together with the high demand for sustainable pavements under applied vehicular loading have led to a great deal of research worldwide of concrete pavements. Despite progressive knowledge of concrete pavement behaviour under applied loads, concrete pavements are still subject to deterioration due to crack initiation and propagation, indicating the need for further research. Cracks can be related to fatigue of concrete or erosion of materials in sub-layers. Transverse joints in concrete pavements are the locations where most pavement distress appears, leading to deterioration of the riding quality and featuring high maintenance cost. The state of stresses in the concrete surrounding dowel bars, in dowel jointed concrete pavements, are a major factor that contribute to transverse joint distress. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model is developed in this study for analysing a dowel-jointed concrete pavement. The effects of different pavement and joint related parameters on the load transfer characteristics of a joint have been evaluated using the 3D finite element model. The numerical results from FE modelling are validated with classical analytical solutions of shear and moment along the dowel. Five loading cases are applied in the model to replicate realistic vehicular loadings approaching and leaving the joint. Group action of the dowel bar system has also been examined.

description: In this paper, we study Lie superalgebras of $2\times 2$ matrix-valued first-order differential operators on the complex line. We first completely classify all such superalgebras of finite dimension. Among the finite-dimensional superalgebras whose odd subspace is nontrivial, we find those admitting a finite-dimensional invariant module of smooth vector-valued functions, and classify all the resulting finite-dimensional modules. The latter Lie superalgebras and their modules are the building blocks in the construction of QES quantum mechanical models for spin 1/2 particles in one dimension.

Age, Task Characteristics, and Acoustic Indicators of Engagement: Investigations into the Validity of a Technology-Enhanced Speaking Test for Young Language Learners

description: Despite calls for engaging assessments targeting young language learners (YLLs) between 8 and 13 years old, what makes assessment tasks engaging and how such task characteristics affect measurement quality have not been well studied empirically. Furthermore, there has been a dearth of validity research about technology-enhanced speaking tests for YLLs. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to explore relationships among examinee age, task characteristics, engagement, and performance in the context of gathering evidence to back a test validity argument. Following a mixed-methods approach, the investigations involved over 400 YLLs in 11 countries who responded to TOEFL Primary® Speaking test tasks (Educational Testing Service, 2013). Results from many-facet Rasch measurement revealed that, in terms of evaluation claims, tasks and raters functioned well across examinee age groups. Generalizability theory was then applied to confirm that examinees accounted for most of the score variance and that current test form configurations maximize score dependability. Fischer’s (1973, 1995) linear logistic test model results helped explain that vocabulary support, novelty, and video animation increased task difficulty, while topical choice did not. Lastly, acoustic measures of harmonicity and shimmer from the spoken responses served as indicators of engagement in a structural model showing that topical choice and novelty promoted engagement; these findings were triangulated by retrospective verbal reports from eight YLLs. Results point to the importance of including engagement in theoretical models of language performance. Also, a taxonomy of task characteristics that may support engagement is proposed to help drive a research agenda and inform test development.

description: We study nonreciprocity in spatiotemporally modulated 1D resonator chains from the perspective of equivalent 2D resonator arrays with a synthetic dimension and transverse synthetic electric and magnetic fields. The synthetic fields are respectively related to temporal and spatial modulation of the resonator chain, and we show that their combination can break transmission reciprocity without additional elements. This nonreciprocal effect is analogous to the Hall effect for charged particles. We experimentally implement chains of 2 and 3 spatiotemporally modulated resonators and measure over 58 dB of isolation contrast.

In this paper we study the intertwining operators for certain infinite dimensional representations of $\Yd$, which are deformed analogs of the highest weight representations of the affine algebra $\aff$ at level 1. We give bosonized expressions for intertwining operators, verify that they generate an algebra isomorphic to Zamolodchikov--Faddeev algebra for the $SU(2)$-invariant Thirring model. We compose from them $L$-operators by Miki's prescription and verify that they coincide with $L$-operators constructed from universal ${\cal R}$-matrix.

description: We investigate the competition of coherent and dissipative dynamics in many-body systems at continuous quantum transitions. We consider dissipative mechanisms that can be effectively described by Lindblad equations for the density matrix of the system. The interplay between the critical coherent dynamics and dissipation is addressed within a dynamic finite-size scaling framework, which allows us to identify the regime where they develop a nontrivial competition. We analyze protocols that start from critical many-body ground states and put forward general dynamic scaling behaviors involving the Hamiltonian parameters and the coupling associated with the dissipation. This scaling scenario is supported by a numerical study of the dynamic behavior of a one-dimensional lattice fermion gas undergoing a quantum Ising transition in the presence of dissipative mechanisms such as local pumping, decaying, and dephasing.

description: We develop the Floquet scattering theory for quantum mechanical pumping in mesoscopic conductors. The nonequilibrium distribution function, the dc charge and heat currents are investigated at arbitrary pumping amplitude and frequency. For mesoscopic samples with discrete spectrum we predict a sign reversal of the pumped current when the pump frequency is equal to the level spacing in the sample. This effect allows to measure the phase of the transmission coefficient through the mesoscopic sample. We discuss the necessary symmetry conditions (both spatial and temporal) for pumping.

Solving Statistical Mechanics on Sparse Graphs with Feedback Set Variational Autoregressive Networks

description: We propose a method for solving statistical mechanics problems defined on sparse graphs. It extracts a small Feedback Vertex Set (FVS) from the sparse graph, converting the sparse system to a much smaller system with many-body and dense interactions with an effective energy on every configuration of the FVS, then learns a variational distribution parameterized using neural networks to approximate the original Boltzmann distribution. The method is able to estimate free energy, compute observables, and generate unbiased samples via direct sampling without auto-correlation. Extensive experiments show that our approach is more accurate than existing approaches for sparse spin glasses. On random graphs and real-world networks, our approach significantly outperforms the standard methods for sparse systems such as the belief-propagation algorithm; on structured sparse systems such as two-dimensional lattices our approach is significantly faster and more accurate than recently proposed variational autoregressive networks using convolution neural networks.

title: Experimental Investigation of Chatter Occurrence and the Effects of Tool Wear Progress in Milling Titanium Alloy

Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: condition monitoring
subject: milling
subject: chatter identification
subject: tool wear

description: Milling is a complex and versatile process employed to produce parts by material removal, especially in the aerospace industry. However, two phenomena—tool wear and chatter—limit the process's quality and production rate by reducing machining efficiency, accuracy and precision. As a result, industries aim to monitor these conditions in realtime. Furthermore, early identification of chatter is essential for advanced manufacturing of metal components, as it has a significant effect on surface finish and tool lifetime presenting a major limitation in increasing the material removal rate. These two challenges are frequently faced in the machining of hard-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys, which are widely used in various industries because of their high strength-to-weight ratio, exceptional corrosion resistance, and other physical and mechanical properties that are highly desired for broad applications. However, titanium alloys have low machinability, which is characterised by great variations in the cutting forces. This accelerates chatter occurrence and tool wear progress. Literature reports a variety of investigations for tool wear and chatter monitoring, but they have mostly been studied as separate and unrelated phenomena. Scholars have modelled and predicted the co-occurrence of both events, but there are some discrepancies among the findings. Therefore, to improve the quality and production of titanium alloy workpieces, this experimental study investigates the simultaneous occurrence and correlation of tool wear and chatter in milling the most employed titanium alloy, Ti6Al4V. This research aims to determine whether tool wear progress has a significant effect on chatter during the milling of Ti6Al4V.

description: The beginning of the new millennium has witnessed the completion of the first DNA reference sequence for Homo sapiens (Human Genome Project) and the establishment of a human SNP haplotype map (International HapMap Project). In particular, these advancements have revolutionised our understanding of the role of genes and genetic variation in the study of human traits and disease. Although a plethora of genes underlying complex phenotypes have been characterised, many are family specific or only explain a portion of the total underlying genetic component. Increasingly, researchers are turning to population isolates to dissect the genetic and non-genetic components underlying common, complex human disorders. Isolates are populations that have expanded in severe geographical or cultural isolation from a limited number of original founders. Genetic and non-genetic heterogeneity are limited or even reduced in isolates due to the presence of various genetic, environmental and societal factors. Norfolk Island is a young, South Pacific population isolate whose origins are intertwined with the fate of Her Majesty’s Armed Ship, the Bounty. The majority of permanent residents are descended from 9 Isle of Man, Bounty Mutineers and 6 Tahitian women who colonised Pitcairn Island (then uninhabited) in 1790 and relocated to the then uninhabited Norfolk Island in 1856. These historical origins have been confirmed with ancestry informative markers.

description: In order to classify partial entanglement of multi-partite states, it is natural to consider the convex hulls, intersections and differences of basic convex cones obtained from partially separable states with respect to partitions of systems. In this paper, we consider convex cones consisting of X-shaped three qubit states arising in this way. The class of X-shaped states includes important classes like Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger diagonal states. We find all the extreme rays of those convex cones to exhibit corresponding partially separable states. We also give characterizations for those cones which give rise to necessary criteria in terms of diagonal and anti-diagonal entries for general three qubit states.

description: Are we morally responsible for what we believe and intend? If so, what is the nature of this responsibility, and how does it differ from our moral responsibility for our outward bodily deeds? How is our moral responsibility for belief and intention grounded in mental action? I argue that we do bear a species of moral responsibility for our beliefs and intentions. But our beliefs and intentions are nonvoluntary—we neither believe nor intend ‘at will.’ This raises a pressing question about how we can be legitimately held accountable for the attitudes. Given that we do not choose our attitudes in the same way we choose to perform ordinary intentional actions, how do we exercise agency in belief and intention? My answer is that responsibility for the attitudes is grounded in a fully intentional yet nonvoluntary form of mental action. This is a thinker’s reasoning to a conclusion in thought (or inferring). Drawing on the work of G.E.M. Anscombe, I argue that reasoning is active because it is constituted by the very species of self-conscious practical knowledge as intentional bodily action. This practical knowledge positions a thinker to answer the justificatory demands that mark our responsibility for the attitudes.

All lipoxygenases are known to be pharmaceutically important, seen to mediate inflammatory and cancerdisorders. In this study, the homology modeling methodology is used to model the human 15-Lox which plays animportant pathological role in all types of cancer. Based on NCBI blast search a template protein 1-lox waschosen with whom the target protein sequence identity was seen to be 81%. The target protein modeled usingthe modeller 9v9 program; followed by refinement through energy minimization processes and validated bysaves server. Analysis of the Ramachandran plot shows 99.98% amino acids fall in the allowed region,illustrating the model structure to be accurate. The modelled protein was docked with the seven ligandcompound using the schrödinger maestro 9.2 tool and results showed the masoprocol and NDGA legend havegood interactions. Both masoprocol and NDGA ligands are conformers and bind with the same amino acid inthe binding site of the modeled protein. The docking score for masoprocol was -7.53, and for NDGA -7.12 withthe modeled protein. Both the docked protein ligand complexes were refined and stabilized by moleculardynamic simulation in Desmond's. The simulation results, potential energy and RMSD graph showed theprotein-ligand complexes are stabilized at 3nsec.

By the use of the internal parameter the accuracy of the truncated series is enhanced tremendously.

The main result gives equivalent conditions ensuring the reduction of such an equation to one with constant coefficient. In the particular case of $C^{\infty}$, we obtain the exact analogue of the classical theorem. Our approach essentially uses the fact that a Frechet space is the limit of a projective sequence of Banach spaces, consequently a linear differential equation in the former can be obtained as the projective limit of a system of linear equations in the latter (see also [G. Galanis, On a type of linear differential equations in Frechet spaces, Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa, Ser. 4, 24 (1997), 501-510]). A geometric application is also discussed.

This is the problem we state and solve in the present work, by constructing an explicit algorithm for the integration over a general algebra.

These adaptive tasks were chosen because they are most frequently cited in the literature of disability; arising from the fields of aging, chronic illness, and blindness. Intervening variables were health, social supports, and coexisting life events of change and loss. Respondents ranged in age from 60-99 years and had three times of onset since vision loss: 0-1 year, 2-3 years, and 4+ years. Data were collected in in-person interviews of approximately one hour's duration. Frequency distributions, bivariate correlations, and multivariate analytic techniques were used to identify the salient variables associated with performance of each adaptive task. Study findings indicate that age and time since onset do not influence performance of adaptive tasks. Dependence in activities of daily living is a predictor of low self esteem. Medical problems are a predictor of dependence in activities of daily living. Decreased participation in social and recreational activities and dependence in activities of daily living are more frequently due to vision loss than to other health problems. Both need and availability are predictors of use of help. Understanding of loss is associated with higher education, low self esteem, and living alone. Vision impairment has a great subjective importance to the elderly who give up much that has meaning to them in their struggle to adapt to diminished sight. Implications for clinical practice and further research are discussed.

description: What kinds of symmetry-protected topologically ordered (SPTO) ground states can be used for universal measurement-based quantum computation in a similar fashion to the 2D cluster state? 2D SPTO states are classified not only by global on-site symmetries but also by subsystem symmetries, which are fine-grained symmetries dependent on the lattice geometry. Recently, all states within so-called SPTO cluster phases on the square and hexagonal lattices have been shown to be universal, based on the presence of subsystem symmetries and associated structures of quantum cellular automata. Motivated by this observation, we analyze the computational capability of SPTO cluster phases on all vertex-translative 2D Archimedean lattices. There are four subsystem symmetries here called ribbon, cone, fractal, and 1-form symmetries, and the former three are fundamentally in one-to-one correspondence with three classes of Clifford quantum cellular automata. We conclude that nine out of the eleven Archimedean lattices support universal cluster phases protected by one of the former three symmetries, while the remaining lattices possess 1-form symmetries and have a different capability related to error correction.

description: Aggressive students often struggle in multiple domains of their school functioning and are at increased risk for high school dropout. Research has identified a variety of warning flags which are strong predictors of high school dropout. While it is known that aggressive students exhibit many of these warning flags, there is little research which identifies the paths aggressive students take towards high school dropout.
      This study attempts to better characterize the relationship between aggression and dropout using a sample of students (N=685) from two middle schools in an urban, low income school district in the Northeastern United States. This study utilizes survival analysis, a longitudinal data analysis strategy for examining event occurrence. The sample was followed over a course of seven years, spanning from when students start middle school in the sixth grade through their expected on time-graduation year in the twelfth grade. In this study, hazard and survivor functions, key components of survival analysis, were utilized to examine the timing of high school dropout and compare timing of dropout for students characterized as aggressive vs. not aggressive. Discrete time hazard models using logistic regression were analyzed to determine how well aggression as rated by teachers and peers as well as a variety of educational and demographic variables predict high school dropout.
      Hazard and survivor functions showed that for this sample, aggressive students were at increased risk of dropout through the course of their educational careers. Their pattern of risk, i.e. grades in which they were at a lower or higher risk for dropout, however, was similar to that of non-aggressive students. Peer-rated aggression was related to each of the dropout warning variables as aggressive students were absent more often, had lower GPA’s, accumulated more suspensions and were more likely to be retained at some point during their educational careers. Results of discrete time hazard models showed that aggression was no longer a significant predictor of dropout when other educational “warning flag” variables were included in models. A discrete time hazard model including the effects of time, Age for Grade status and Retention status produced the best goodness of fit measures amongst a host of models that were analyzed. In all models that were analyzed, time was a significant predictor, indicating that dropout is not time invariant and a student’s grade must be considered when determining the effect of any of the hypothesized predictors on dropout. Implications of these results for schools, specifically regarding effective management of aggressive behavior in schools, are discussed.
Aggressive mating strategies in young adolescent girls

Developmental psychology

description: Adolescence is the time when humans begin utilizing mating strategies (e.g., flirting, fighting or rumor spreading about competitors) to attract and keep mates. Consistent empirical evidence shows that some adolescent boys are on a developmental pathway in which they utilize aggression and risky behaviors in their mating strategies, but there is little research on adolescent girls' use of aggression and risk-taking in mating. This study hypothesized that ethnically diverse, young adolescent girls nominated consistently as flirters were also more likely to be nominated as aggressive and report higher levels of risk taking behaviors (e.g., drug use, delinquency) than girls not nominated as flirters. This study assessed mating effort via a new approach: peer-report of flirting behavior, which is dissimilar to previous studies that asked participants to report on their mating effort behaviors or report on peers who were not participants in the study. It is proposed that flirting behavior will increase yearly from 6th to 8th grade, coinciding with the start of puberty. It is also predicted that consistent flirters will endorse dating more frequently, as mating behavior and mate success are strongly linked in the literature. This study also investigated the relationship between attractiveness, which is an aspect of mate value, and mating effort. Researchers have found that mating effort and mate value increase one's mating success and they are positively correlated. Also, this study analyzed the relationship between adolescents' familial adversity and their mating effort as previous research found that familial adversity has a causal influence on teenage sexual risk taking behaviors, earlier start of puberty, and earlier sexual debut. Sixth graders in two large middle schools in a low income, ethnically diverse, northeastern school district were followed for three years for a larger longitudinal study. This study uses data from a subsample of 190 adolescent girls with complete data for 7th and 8th grades. Measures were administered in language arts or social studies classes during the fall of each year. Measures included a peer-report of flirtatiousness and aggressive behavior via the Revised Class Play (Masten, Morrison, & Pelligrini, 1985), self-report of dating frequency, and self-report of risk taking behaviors including substance and alcohol use (Winters, 1992) and delinquency (Elliot, Huizinga, & Ageton, 1985). Attractiveness was assessed via peer-report ratings of yearbook photos and self-reports of body image and appearance satisfaction (Cash, 2000). Adverse familial background was measured as self-report of psychological aggression from parents (Straus, Hamby, Finkelhor, Moore, & Runyan, 1998) and living arrangements in 6th grade.

description: We investigate the time evolution of the complexity of the operator by the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model with $N$ Majorana fermions. We follow Nielsen's idea of complexity geometry and geodesics thereof. We show that it is possible that the bi-invariant complexity geometry can exhibit the conjectured time evolution of the complexity in chaotic systems: i) linear growth until $t\sim e^{N}$, ii) saturation and small fluctuations after then. We also show that the Lloyd's bound is realized in this model. Interestingly, these characteristic features appear only if the complexity geometry is the most natural "non-Riemannian" Finsler geometry. This serves as a concrete example showing that the bi-invariant complexity may be a competitive candidate for the complexity in quantum mechanics/field theory (QM/QFT). We provide another argument showing a naturalness of bi-invariant complexity in QM/QFT. That is that the bi-invariance naturally implies the equivalence of the right-invariant complexity and left-invariant complexity, either of which may correspond to the complexity of a given operator. Without bi-invariance, one needs to answer why only right (left) invariant complexity corresponds to the "complexity", instead of only left (right) invariant complexity.

description: Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are becoming more material to the long-term valuation of investments. Superannuation Funds are uniquely placed to be able to embrace investing according to ESG principles. They have a long-term investment horizon, which can be matched to the often long-term benefits of integrating ESG. Also, superannuation funds are considered to be “universal owners” (Hawley and Williams, 2000), and should invest according to what is good for the economy overall and not just what is good for portfolio returns. This exploratory study seeks to determine the factors that influence superannuation funds’ use of ESG as part of standard investment analysis, also known as ESG investing. It uses a mixed methods approach consisting of an analysis of superannuation fund websites, face-to-face interviews, and an online survey, to determine the drivers and barriers to ESG integration. It then surveys superannuation fund members, arguably the most important stakeholder for funds, and finds their perceptions of superannuation funds and ESG investing. This study contributes to the literature for the emerging area of ESG integration. It provides empirical evidence for factors that are significant in influencing the take-up of ESG investing for superannuation funds, and it examines the reasons behind the low take-up of ESG investment options by fund members. This research is useful for policy makers to promote the integration of ESG into superannuation investment practices. Also, as an exploratory study, it provides the groundwork for future research into the areas of ESG investing for superannuation funds and their members.
