Wollastonite

description: A polytype of wollastonite, 2M-wollastonite, that breaks into acicular particles under external forces is being synthesized through two different processes, namely a Partial Melting and Recrystallization Process (PMR Process) and a Flux Growth Process (FG Process). The PMR Process combines the advantages of the solid state reaction and liquid phase reaction methods by creating a partially melted phase to maintain the original shape of the compacts of raw materials while melted regions form locally within the compacts, providing a favorable environment for the growth of alpha-wollastonite in the first step. The target crystal, 2M-wollastonite, nucleates and grows during the subsequent recrystallization stage. Using this process, effects of additives on the preparation of acicular wollastonite particles were investigated. It was found that B2O3 is one of the melting point depressing additives that can lower the melting point of the raw mixtures significantly in a small amount. Li2O is one of the catalytic additives that promote the formation of acicular wollastonite particles. The FG Process completely melt the raw mixtures in a suitable crucible at temperatures above 1400oC, and then lets the melt solidify under a favorable cooling rate to allow the nucleation and growth of 2M-wollastotnite during this stage. It takes advantage of the heat transfer properties of the melt-crucible-furnace wall (MCF) system; a vertical temperature gradient is achieved to provide sites for the preferable nucleation of 2M-wollatonite crystals at the top melt surface. The solidified products contain nearly pure 2M-wollastonite crystals as the major component and an amorphous glass phase as the minor part. Both the PMR and FG processes yielded high-aspect-ratio (HAR) particles. The crystals grown by the PMR process were small in size but large in number, and they grew randomly in the final products. The crystals grown by the FG process were aligned and they formed cellular and dendritic patterns. Such a growth behavior offers additional benefits for producing HAR wollastonite particles. When the two processes were compared, the FG process surpasses the PMR process in terms of efficiency. Modeling and simulation work was done on the FG process that presented cellular and dendritic growth. Based on experimental studies, an empirical model was proposed that modified the existing models on predicting cellular and dendritic growth on a SiO2-CaO-B2O3-Li2O ceramic alloy under high temperature unsteady-state heat transfer. Using this new model, the growth rate and primary arm spacing were predicted well compared with experimental observations. Besides, the average growth front, solidification volume fraction, and mean aspect ratio were also simulated. The simulation work helped to understand and predict the growth of wollastonite crystals in a significant way.

description: Quantum computation is expected to accelerate certain computational task over classical counterpart. Its most primitive advantage is its ability to sample from classically intractable probability distributions. A promising approach to make use of this fact is the so-called quantum-enhanced Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) [D. Layden, et al., arXiv:2203.12497 (2022)] which uses outputs from quantum circuits as the proposal distributions. In this work, we propose the use of Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz (QAOA) for quantum-enhanced MCMC and provide a strategy to optimize its parameter to improve convergence speed while keeping its depth shallow. The proposed QAOA-type circuit is designed to satisfy the specific constraint which quantum-enhanced MCMC requires with arbitrary parameters. Through our extensive numerical analysis, we find a correlation in certain parameter range between an experimentally measurable value, acceptance rate of MCMC, and the spectral gap of the MCMC transition matrix, which determines the convergence speed. This allows us to optimize the parameter in the QAOA circuit and achieve quadratic speedup in convergence. Since MCMC is used in various areas such as statistical physics and machine learning makes, this work represents an important step toward realizing practical quantum advantage with currently available quantum computers through quantum-enhanced MCMC.

description: Recently, Wang and the second author constructed a bar involution and canonical basis for a quasi-permutation module of the Hecke algebra associated to a type B Weyl group $W$, where the basis is parameterized by left cosets of a quasi-parabolic reflection subgroup in $W$. In this paper we provide an alternative approach to these constructions, and then generalize to Coxeter groups which contain a product of type B Weyl groups as a parabolic subgroup.

description: This study investigates the possibility of a homogeneous and isotropic cosmological solution within the context of the Maxwell-Weyl gauge theory of gravity. To achieve this, we utilize the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory as an analogy and represent the Maxwell gauge field in terms of two time-dependent scalar fields. We derive the modified Friedmann equations, integrating the contributions from the Maxwell gauge fields and an effective cosmological constant that depends on the Dirac scalar field. Our analysis reveals how these modifications influence various cosmological scenarios, including power-law evolution, de Sitter-like expansion, inflationary phases, non-singular bounce cosmologies, and cyclic cosmologies.

Toni Morrison's silence in the Russian cultural and translational context
Creators: name: Nizkaya, Natalya
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: The current research examines how Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon is being transformed under the impact of co-independent elements. First, it is an over-optimistic and ideologically motivated principle of translation dictated by the Soviet School of Translation. Second, it is a propagandistic agenda of original text's "devouring" and its later forced adaptation towards the desired representation established by the program of Social Realism. The analysis of the translation of the characters' names suggests the possible reasons for sometimes unclear and unexplainable translational strategy chosen by the translator. The question that the current research is trying to answer is how original textual elements lost or neglected in the translation could unveil underlying propagandistically or ideologically motivated mechanisms that make Toni Morrison silent.

Reclaiming humanity: the social theory of Karl Polanyi

Subjects: Economists--Hungary
Market economy

description: This dissertation examines Karl Polanyi's social theory, which underlies his  critique of the market economy, and argues that this theory is founded on an  understanding of a human being as the unity of individuality and sociality and as a  "moral" being characterized by freedom. However, the market system, which is  organized on the basis of the three "fictitious commodities," namely labor, land, and  money, generates a "dehumanization" process within which these characteristics  are negated. This dehumanization results from the "commodification" of life itself  and signifies the separation of human beings from their natural surroundings, from  each other and even from their own capacities and powers. The emphasis on this  process, it is argued, is the uniting element of Polanyi's thought with that of Marx.  Since the result of such a process is the disintegration of the society, it is natural  for human beings to protect the social fabric against the market, as emphasized in  Polanyi's notion of the "double movement," which is formed by the extension of the  market and society's "self-protection" and which gives the capitalist society its  unstable character. However, it is argued that the success of this protective  countermovement against dehumanization depends on conscious resistance to the  "market mentality" dominating every aspect of life in a capitalist society, which in  turn requires the emphasis on the "species" character of human beings, that is, on  freedom and on the unity of individuality and sociality.

description: We investigated the giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in M74 (NGC 628), using data obtained from the PHANGS project. We applied the GMC Types according to the activity of star formation: Type I without star formation, Type II with H$α$ luminosity ($L_\mathrm{Hα}$) less than $10^{37.5}~\mathrm{erg~s^{-1}}$, and Type III with $L_\mathrm{Hα}$ greater than $10^{37.5}~\mathrm{erg~s^{-1}}$. A total of 432 GMCs were identified, with 59, 201, and 172 GMCs, for Type I, II, and III, respectively. The size and mass of the GMCs range from 23 to 238 pc and $10^{4.9}$ to $10^{7.1}$ M$_{\odot}$, indicating that the mass and radius increase from Type I to III. Clusters younger than 4 Myr and HII regions are concentrated within 150 pc of a GMC, indicating a tight association between these young objects and GMCs. The virial ratio decreases from Type I to Type III, indicating that Type III GMCs are the most gravitationally relaxed among the three. We interpret that the GMCs evolve from Type I to Type III, as previously observed in the LMC. Based on a steady-state assumption, the estimated evolutionary timescales of Type I, II, and III are 1, 5, and 4 Myr, respectively. We assume that the timescale of Type III is equal to the age of the associated clusters, indicating a GMC lifetime of 10 Myr or longer. Although Chevance et al. (2020, MNRAS, 493, 2872) investigated GMCs using the same PHANGS dataset of M74, they did not define a GMC, reaching an evolutionary picture with a 20 Myr duration of the non-star-forming phase, which was five times longer than 4 Myr. We compare the present results with those of Chevance et al. (2020) and argue that defining individual GMCs is essential for understanding GMC evolution.

Deconstruction and reconstruction of a protein capsid

Self-assembly

description: The self-assembly of multiple protein subunits via noncovalent interactions provides a diverse collection of nanoarchitectures. Polyhedral capsids represent a particularly interesting type of structure in which the protein forms a closed three-dimensional surface that can function as a molecular container. Understanding capsid self-assembly could benefit further development of nanomaterials for many applications, such as drug delivery and biocatalysis. In this thesis, Aquifex aeolicus lumazine synthase (AaLS) is used as a model for investigating capsid self-assembly. The 60-subunit capsids formed by AaLS in vivo can be viewed as dodecamers-of-pentamers. Currently, methods are lacking for controlling AaLS assembly in vitro, which imposes important limitations on cargo loading. Interestingly, the diverse quaternary structures in the lumazine synthase family, which includes capsids and pentamers, imply the possibility of exchanging assembly states in vitro. To better understand AaLS capsid assembly, the dodecahedral capsid was converted to pentamers via a strategy involving rational design and sitedirected mutagenesis. Biophysical characterizations confirm that simultaneous substitution of three interfacial residues can yield stable pentamers. A pentameric AaLS variant that possesses a unique, strategically placed cysteine residue was engineered to enable capsid formation in vitro. This cysteine was modified with a thiophenol group by sequential thiol-disulfide exchange reactions. The increase in nonpolar surface area upon modification of this cysteine allows for assembly of the pentamers into capsids that resemble wild-type AaLS, presumably by recapitulating hydrophobic interactions present at the pentamer-pentamer interface. In an alternative approach, a pH-dependent switch for AaLS capsid disassembly was developed. For this switch, the ability to change assembly state relies on the presence of three engineered histidine residues per subunit, located near the three-fold symmetric interface of the capsid. These histidines minimally interfere with the capsid structure at high pH where their side chains are neutral. However, at lower pH, histidine protonation can trigger the dissociation of the capsid into pentamers, presumably due to charge repulsion. Further, this switch is reversible, as 60-subunit capsids can reform upon raising the pH. These studies of interconverting AaLS quaternary structures open the door to the development of improved encapsulation systems for use in medicine or nanobiomaterials.

description: Display of illusory vibration locations between physical vibrotactile motors (tactors) placed on the skin has the potential to reduce the number of tactors in distributed tactile displays. This paper presents a between-tactor display method that uses dynamic tactile stimuli to generate illusory vibration locations. A belt with only 6 vibration motors displays 24 targets consisting of on-tactor and between-tactor locations. On-tactor locations are represented by simply vibrating the relevant single tactor. Between-tactor locations are displayed by adjusting the relative vibration amplitudes of two adjacent motors, with either (1) constant vibration amplitudes or (2) perturbed vibration amplitudes (creating local illusory motion). User testing showed that perturbations improve recognition accuracy for in-between tactor localization.

Specifically, we are exploring the approach of transfer learning from the existing Czech pre-trained Wav2Vec 2.0 model into Slovak. We are demonstrating the benefits of the proposed approach on three Slovak datasets. Our Slovak models scored the best results when initializing the weights from the Czech model at the beginning of the pre-training phase. Our results show that the knowledge stored in the Cezch pre-trained model can be successfully reused to solve tasks in Slovak while outperforming even much larger public multilingual models.

Deposit dollarization dynamics in a model of network externalities and hysteresis: the cases of Argentina and Bolivia

description: The shift from a domestic currency (peso) to dollar denominated deposits (deposit dollarization) in Argentina and Bolivia is explained with a nonlinear model that  incorporates ratcheting effects, hysteresis and network externalities. There are two principal factors behind these effects: holding and transacting costs. The depreciation rate of a local currency versus an international monetary standard (peso versus dollar) is a  reasonable proxy for the holding cost of the local currency. Strong depreciation of a currency imposes a substantial holding cost on its users and increases or "ratchets up" how high agents predict future depreciation rates will be. A transaction cost is incurred whenever an agent transacts outside his/her currency network of buyers and sellers. The model assumes there are two currency networks; one is based on the peso and the other on the dollar. A transaction network externality arises when relative returns or savings to using a given currency increase as the size of that currency's network of users expands. This externality makes the currency choice of an individual partially dependent on the choices others in his/her reference group or network make. Hysteresis, the persistence of high dollarization, happens when the expected holding cost of the dollar is less than the peso due to ratcheting effect, and/or converting back to the peso imposes a substantial transaction cost due to the large size of the dollar network. Under certain network dynamics and behavioral assumptions, dollarization levels can follow a nonlinear path to rest at an either high or low-equilibrium point. Resting at either high or low dollarization equilibria depends on the presence and location of an unstable third intermediate equilibrium point. A shock to the holding cost of at least one currency is needed to establish a new equilibrium position. For example, a spike in peso's depreciation ratchets up its expected holding cost and establishes a new nonlinear path that leads to higher dollarization equilibria, which the model expects the economy to start moving towards. The opposite outcome can happen if a strong contractionary policy appreciates the peso and reduces its holding cost.

description: Removal of cyanide from process solutions and wastewater is important to maintain the quality of water resources. Cyanide, one of the most toxic of compounds, is widely used in gold leaching operations due to its ability to form water soluble complexes with gold, silver, copper and other metals. Several methods being used in the industry, such as alkaline oxidation, photochemical dissociation, sulfur dioxide catalyzed oxidation, and others, destroy cyanide present in the process solutions before their surface discharge,  except the idification-Volatilization-Reneutralization (AVR) technique, which  recovers cyanide by acidification of cyanide-containing solutions, causing generation of hydrogen cyanide gas, which is reneutralized in sodium hydroxide solution. A similar  technique for removal and recovery of cyanide using hollow fiber membrane modules has  been investigated to study the effect of operating parameters upon its performance in  cyanide removal.  Hollow fiber membrane modules consisting of hydrophobic polypropylene hollow  fibers were tested for their performance in cyanide removal under varying conditions of  pH, the flow rates of the acidified feed and the alkaline acceptor solutions, and the  temperature of operation and cyanide concentration in the feed solution to determine the  optimum conditions of operation. The technology has been tested using a larger module  under the optimum conditions derived, with the higher flow rates of the feed and the  acceptor solution.

description: The focus of this dissertation is the Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation study of two different systems. In the first system, we study the dynamic process of graphene exfoliation, particularly graphene dispersion using ionic surfactants (Chapter 2). In the second system, we investigate the mesoscopic structure of binary solute/ionic liquid (IL) mixtures through the comparison between simulations and corresponding experiments (Chapter 3 and 4). In the graphene exfoliation study, we consider two separation mechanisms: changing the interlayer distance and sliding away the relative distance of two single-layer graphene sheets. By calculating the energy barrier as a function of separation (interlayer or sliding-away) distance and performing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) structure analysis around graphene surface in SDS surfactant/water + bilayer graphene mixture systems, we find that the sliding-away mechanism is the dominant, feasible separation process. In this process, the SDS-graphene interaction gradually replaces the graphene-graphene Van der Waals (VdW) interaction, and decreases the energy barrier until almost zero at critical SDS concentration. In solute/IL study, we investigate nonpolar (CS2) and dipolar (CH3CN) solute/IL mixture systems. MD simulation shows that at low concentrations, IL is nanosegregated into an ionic network and nonpolar domain. It is also found that CS2 molecules tend to be localized into the nonpolar domain, while CH3CN interacts with nonpolar domain as well as with the charged head groups in the ionic network because of its amphiphilicity. At high concentrations, CH3CN molecules eventually disrupt the nanostructural organization. This dissertation is organized in four chapters: (1) introduction to graphene, ionic liquids and the methodology of MD; (2) MD simulation of graphene exfoliation; (3) Nanostructural organization in acetonitrile/IL mixtures; (4) Nanostructural organization in carbon disul-fide/IL mixtures; (5) Conclusions. Results of MD simulations of liquid mixture systems car-ried out in this research explain observed experiments and show the details of nanostructural organizations in small solute molecules/IL mixture. Additionally, the research successfully reveals the correct mechanism of graphene exfoliation process in liquid solution. (This will be summarized in Chapter 5.) The research presented in this dissertation enhances our understanding of the microscopic behaviors in complex liquid systems as well as the theoretical method to explore them.

description: We present a new approach to measure the power-law temperature density relationship $T=T_0 (ρ/ \barρ)^{γ-1}$ and the UV background photoionization rate $Γ_{\rm HI}$ of the IGM based on the Voigt profile decomposition of the Ly$α$ forest into a set of discrete absorption lines with Doppler parameter $b$ and the neutral hydrogen column density $N_{\rm HI}$. Previous work demonstrated that the shape of the $b$-$N_{\rm HI}$ distribution is sensitive to the IGM thermal parameters $T_0$ and $γ$, whereas our new inference algorithm also takes into account the normalization of the distribution, i.e. the line-density d$N$/d$z$, and we demonstrate that precise constraints can also be obtained on $Γ_{\rm HI}$. We use density-estimation likelihood-free inference (DELFI) to emulate the dependence of the $b$-$N_{\rm HI}$ distribution on IGM parameters trained on an ensemble of 624 Nyx hydrodynamical simulations at $z = 0.1$, which we combine with a Gaussian process emulator of the normalization. To demonstrate the efficacy of this approach, we generate hundreds of realizations of realistic mock HST/COS datasets, each comprising 34 quasar sightlines, and forward model the noise and resolution to match the real data. We use this large ensemble of mocks to extensively test our inference and empirically demonstrate that our posterior distributions are robust. Our analysis shows that by applying our new approach to existing Ly$α$ forest spectra at $z\simeq 0.1$, one can measure the thermal and ionization state of the IGM with very high precision ($σ_{\log T_0} \sim 0.08$ dex, $σ_γ\sim 0.06$, and $σ_{\log Γ_{\rm HI}} \sim 0.07$ dex).

Violence and disavowal in Victorian narrative

description: This dissertation demonstrates the Victorian novel's preoccupation with what it understands as liberal society's disavowed reliance on arbitrary and often violent decisions as a means of overcoming political and moral incommensurability, or, in other words, what Carl Schmitt has rather infamously called the "exception." Precisely opposed to Schmitt's concept of the sovereign decision is the position of procedural liberalism, in which abstract and objective concepts of right arrived at through deliberative procedures are understood to motivate legal processes that induce justice. Because the absolutist commitment to the sovereign decision is precisely antithetical to liberal ideals, the decision must either be deferred-only to begin a chain of deferrals-or, once implemented, its use must be disavowed. Novels from Thackeray to Conrad all recognize, I argue, the existence of what I call the "crypto-decisionism" obscured by the rhetoric and operations of procedural liberalism. Victorian demands of propriety and public morality, I argue, require the collective disavowal of whatever is antithetical to publicity. My focus then is on the way that the Victorian novel self-consciously reproduces the relationship between violence and disavowal that it portrays as essential to social harmony within the liberal context. The novels I consider in this dissertation present worlds in which the essential role of violence to preserving community stability is known but not acknowledged precisely because any open acknowledgement of the role of violence in maintaining social equanimity at the same time threatens to destroy the equanimity it secures. Ultimately the contradiction between deliberative procedures meant to produce consensual action on the one hand, and the violent decision on the other hand, creates a tension, I argue, that shapes the narrative structures of the novel in its image. In the novels I examine narrative conflict takes the form of incongruities or disturbances against which the novel must marshal exceptional means-a sort of internal, aesthetic decisionism-in order to secure aesthetic coherence or closure. In this way the novel form, I contend, mimetically reproduces Victorian anxieties regarding liberal forms of individual and community self-understanding.

description: A good theory of mathematical beauty is more practical than any current observation, as new predictions of physical reality can be verified self-consistently. This belief applies to the current status of understanding deep neural networks including large language models and even the biological intelligence. Toy models provide a metaphor of physical reality, allowing mathematically formulating that reality (i.e., the so-called theory), which can be updated as more conjectures are justified or refuted. One does not need to pack all details into a model, but rather, more abstract models are constructed, as complex systems like brains or deep networks have many sloppy dimensions but much less stiff dimensions that strongly impact macroscopic observables. This kind of bottom-up mechanistic modeling is still promising in the modern era of understanding the natural or artificial intelligence. Here, we shed light on eight challenges in developing theory of intelligence following this theoretical paradigm. Theses challenges are representation learning, generalization, adversarial robustness, continual learning, causal learning, internal model of the brain, next-token prediction, and finally the mechanics of subjective experience.

Primary care

description: Individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness have higher rates of comorbid physical illness than people without serious mental illness. This dissertation, provided in the Multiple Article Path format, explores how comorbidities in this population have historically been addressed and examines effectiveness of interventions to address comorbidity in primary care. This research also describes the development and implementation of a specific primary care-based program to address comorbidities and patient perspectives on that program. Theoretical frameworks of this dissertation include social constructionism, labeling theory and critical theory. The first article in this project is a qualitative study exploring patient perspectives on care. The second article describes the primary care-based implementation of a care program. The third article is a systematic review of primary care-based behavioral and educational interventions to address comorbidity.

description: Associated to a symmetric space there is a canonical connection with zero torsion and parallel curvature. This connection acts as a binary operator on the vector space of smooth sections of the tangent bundle, and it is linear with respect to the real numbers. Thus the smooth section of the tangent bundle together with the connection form an algebra we call the connection algebra. The constraints of zero torsion and constant curvature makes the connection algebra into a Lie admissible triple algebra. This is a type of algebra that generalises pre-Lie algebras, and it can be embedded into a post-Lie algebra in a canonical way that generalises the canonical embedding of Lie triple systems into Lie algebras. The free Lie admissible triple algebra can be described by incorporating triple-brackets into the leaves of rooted (non-planar) trees.
