description: Bang-bang control is often used to implement a minimal-time shortcut to adiabaticity for efficient transport of atoms in a moving harmonic trap. However, drastic changes of the on-off controller, leading to high transport-mode excitation and energy consumption, become infeasible under realistic experimental conditions. To circumvent these problems, we propose smooth bang-bang protocols with near-minimal time, by setting the physical constraints on the relative displacement, speed, and acceleration between the mass center of the atom and the trap center. We adopt Pontryagin's maximum principle to obtain the analytical solutions of smooth bang-bang protocol for near-time-minimal control. More importantly, it is found that the energy excitation and sloshing amplitude are significantly reduced at the expense of operation time. We also present a multiple shooting method for the self-consistent numerical analysis. Finally, this method is applied to other tasks, e.g., energy minimization, where obtaining smooth analytical form is complicated.
The temperance physicians: Developing concepts of addiction
Creators: name: Nelson, Katherine H.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: During the first temperance movement, which flourished in the early decades of nineteenth-century America, some new ideas emerged about intemperance and alcohol use. These ideas proceeded from a complex interplay of social, cultural, and intellectual forces. A small group of physicians, whom I refer to as "the temperance physicians," gained prominence in the temperance movement through their writings, lectures, and public activities. They expressed new ideas about the effects of alcohol use, aspects of which are consistent with what modern terminology recognizes as addiction. This dissertation explores the ideas of the temperance physicians and highlights significant biographical data. The first temperance physician is Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia (1746-1813). A signer of the Declaration of Independence and physician to the Continental Army, Rush is also one of the founders of the American temperance movement. His many treatises on the effects of "ardent spirits" and intoxicating beverages influenced the next generation of temperance physicians. They are: William Clark (1785-1867), who helped organize the first temperance society in New York in 1808; Thomas Sewall (1785-1845), a founder of Columbian Medical College in Washington, D.C. Reuben Mussey (1780-1866), one of the most brilliant surgeons of his time; and Charles Jewett (1807-1879), a country doctor from Connecticut who became an influential temperance leader. These men, famous as they were in their time, are largely unknown today, even to most historians. The temperance physicians viewed the subject of alcohol use differently than the other temperance reformers. They approached the topic from a health standpoint and promoted ideas about the dangers of alcohol use. The nineteenth-century concept of addiction differed from contemporary understanding; however, there are similarities both then and now in that the concept of addiction involves overwhelming, compulsive, and destructive use of a substance. Like their predecessor Rush, the temperance physicians regarded habitual drunkenness not so much as a vice or a moral failing, but as a physical process that attended the frequent use of intoxicants. The temperance physicians promoted ideas of the destructive power of intemperance, based in part upon the newly discovered chemical composition of alcohol.

description: We consider the symmetric two-state 16-vertex model on the square lattice whose vertex weights are invariant under any permutation of adjacent edge states. The vertex-weight parameters are restricted to a critical manifold which is self-dual under the gauge transformation. The critical properties of the model are studied numerically by using the Corner Transfer Matrix Renormalization Group method. Accuracy of the method is tested on two exactly solvable cases: the Ising model and a specific version of the Baxter 8-vertex model in a zero field that belong to different universality classes. Numerical results show that the two exactly solvable cases are connected by a line of critical points with the polarization as the order parameter. There are numerical indications that critical exponents vary continuously along this line in such a way that the weak universality hypothesis is violated.

How did the metals in a giant star originate?

description: The chemical composition of stars with extremely low metal contents (taking ``metals'' to mean all elements other than hydrogen and helium) provides us with information on the masses of the stars that produced the first metals. Such a direct connection is not possible, however, if the surface of the star has been polluted by enriched material, either dredged from the star's interior or transferred from a companion star. Here we argue that, in the case of HE0107-5240 (ref. 1), the most iron poor star known, the oxygen abundance could be a discriminant: a ratio of [O/Fe] exceeding +3.5 would favour a pristine origin of metals, whereas an [O/Fe] ratio of less than +3 would favour the pollution hypothesis. Using this criterion, we suggest how the required information on oxygen abundance might be obtained.

description: The experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from November 2003 to June 2004 to find out the effect of sowing date and variety on the yield and yield attributes of soybean. Eight sowing dates viz. 17 November, 2 December, 17 December, 1 January, 16 January, 31 January, 15 February and 1 March, and two soybean varieties viz. Shohag (PB-1) and Bangladesh Soybean-4 (G-2) were included as experimental treatments. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications assigning sowing date in the main plots and varieties in the sub plots. The highest seed yield of 221.11 g re was obtained from 17 December sowing which was reduced by 16, 23, 28, 32, 34, 43 and 44% for 17 November, 2 December, 1 January, 16 January, 31 January, 15 February and 1 March sowings, respectively. The highest seed yield at 17 December sowing was mainly attributed to the highest number of fertile pods planfl, number of seeds m-2 and the highest biological yield. The yield of Shohag was 21% lower that that of Bangladesh Soybean - 4 (178.61 g m-2). The interaction between sowing date and variety was significant for yield and most of its attributes except for straw yield and number of seeds pod-1. The result revealed that higher seed yield of Bangladesh Soybean-4 could be obtained from sowing between mid November and mid December while that for Shohag could be possible from sowing betwe,in mid December and mid January.

description: We report the first detection of X-ray emission from a brown dwarf in the Pleiades, the M7-type Roque 14, obtained using the EPIC detectors on XMM-Newton. This is the first X-ray detection of a brown dwarf intermediate in age between ~12 and ~320 Myr. The emission appears persistent, although we cannot rule out flare-like behaviour with a decay time-scale > 4 ks. The time-averaged X-ray luminosity of Lx = (3.3 +/- 0.8) x 10^{27} erg/s, and its ratios with the bolometric (Lx/Lbol = 10^{-3.05}) and Halpha (Lx/LHa = 4.0) luminosities suggest magnetic activity similar to that of active main-sequence M dwarfs, such as the M7 old-disc star VB 8, though the suspected binary nature of Roque 14 merits further attention. No emission is detected from four proposed later-type Pleiades brown dwarfs, with upper limits to Lx in the range 2.1-3.8 x 10^{27} erg/s and to log(Lx/Lbol) in the range -3.10 to -2.91.

description: A comparison between computer and card versions of the anxiety and depression Velten Mood Induction Procedure (VMIP) was made. Results indicate that the computer version of the anxiety VMIP did not perform as well as its card counter part in inducing the target mood, whereas the computer version of the depression VMIP outperformed its card counterpart. The card version of the anxiety VMIP produced a significant increase in self-report anxiety, while the computer version produced a non-significant increase. The computer version of the depression VMIP produced a significant increase in both self-report depression and the time required to count to 50, while the card version produced a significant increase in self-report depression only. These findings suggest that the computer version of the depression VMIP is a valid alternative to the card version, whereas the computer version of the anxiety VMIP is not.

description: An experiment was conducted at. Bangladesh Agricultural University Farm, Mymensingh to study the effect of different levels of sulphur (0, 6, 12 and 18 kg S ha-1) and molybdenum (0, 1, 2 and 3 kg Mo ha ) on nodulation, protein and nutrient contents of soybean cv. Shohag. The results indicated that different levels of sulphur and molybdenum had significant effect on nodulation and protein content of soybean. Total and effective numbers of nodules showed an increasing trend with time and both were highest at 90 DAS but at 120 DAS number of nodules decreased drastically. The application of 12 kg S and 2 kg Mo ha-1 produced maximum number of effective nodules plant-1 at all the growth stages. The highest amount of protein,(43.63%) was obtained in the treatment 12 kg S ha'l which was statistically identical with that recorded in the treatment 18 kg S ha-1 (43.62%) and the lowest in the control (41.02%). On the contrary, the application of molybdenum did not significantly influence the protein content in soybean. Application of different levels of S had significant effect on plant N, K, S, Ca, Mg, Zn and B content but molybdenum alone had significant effect on K, S, Ca and B content of soybean plant at most of the growth stages. The quantity of all these elements increased with the age of the soybean plants. The interaction results obtained from the study indicate that 12 kg S + .2 kg Mo ha-1 combination was very responsive to all nutrients studied at all growth stages.

The concentrations of GABA were 0.16 mll.:1, 0.33 m1L-1, 0.66 mIL:1 and of GA3 were 25 mgL 1, 50 mgC, 100 mg1:1 and of water respectively along with a control where only water was used to treat seeds by soaking for 12 hours in prior to sowing on saturated tissue paper in petri-dishes. The experiment was laid out following RCBD design where each treatment replicated five times. Germination percentage of all the seeds treated with PGRs of above-mentioned concentrations was significantly higher over control. Seed germination was enhanced significantly in brinjal and tomato at 100 mgL" of GA3. Seedling growth (shoot length and root length) increased at 25, 100 mgl.:1 of GA3 and 0.33 mlL1 of GABA.

description: We present a formalism to study many-particle quantum transport across a lattice locally connected to two finite, non-stationary (bosonic or fermionic) reservoirs, both of which are in a thermal state. We show that, for conserved total particle number, a system of nonlinear quantum-classical master equations describes the concurrent many-particle time evolution on the lattice and in the reservoirs. The finiteness of the reservoirs makes a macroscopic current emerge, which decreases exponentially in time, and asymptotically drives the many-particle configuration into an equilibrium state where the particle flow ceases. We analytically derive the time scale of this equilibration process, and, furthermore, investigate the imprint of many-particle interferences on the transport process.

description: A field experiment was carried out on an Old Brahmaputra floodplain soil at Bangladesh Agricultural University Farm, Mymensingh to study the effect of rice straw, sesbania and sulphur on the growth and yield of rice and post-harvest soil characteristics. The results indicated that the dry matter yields of rice plants at maximum tillering stage and panicle emergence stage increased significantly due to the application of rice straw, sesbania and sulphur over the control treatment. Similar results were observed in grain and straw yields of rice. The highest grain yield of 6.733 t ha-1 was recorded in the treatment, where rice straw and sulphur were applied together and it was statistically identical with that of sesbania and sulphur fertilizer applied together (6.640 t ha-1). The minimum grain yield of rice was recorded in the control treatment- (4.640 t ha-1). The application of rice straw, sesbania and sulphur improved soil quality, particularly when S was applied in combination with either rice straw or .sesbania. In postharvest soils, Al was slightly lowered, while organic matter content, total N, available P and available S contents increased significantly under sesbania and rice straw applied together with S.

description: An experiment was conducted at BAU farm, Mymensingh to see the effect of integrated use of poultry manure and rain tree leaf litter with urea fertilizer on boro rice (cv. BRR1 dhan 29). Treatments were T1 (no fertilizer), T2 (100% N from urea), T3 (50% N from poultry manure + 50% N from urea), T4 (50% N 'from rain tree litter + 50% N from urea) and T5 (25% N from poultry manure + 25% N from rain tree leaf litter + 50% N from urea). The highest grain yields of 5.90 t ha"1 and straw yields of 6.74 t ha"1 were recorded with the T4 treatment followed by T3 (5.79 t grain ha-1 and 6.54 t straw ha"1 ). The control treatment (Ti) always showed the lowest yield. The grain and straw yields were increased by the different treatments from 49.85 to 79.33% and 39.52 to 60.48%, respectively over control. The N, P, K and S uptakes by the crop (grain + straw) were generally higher in manure and litter treated plots. Performance of rain tree leaf litter was better than that of poultry manure. Overall result indicates that reduction of 50% urea-N is possible if rain tree litter or poultry manure is used.

description: We propose a neural network-based approach that computes a stable and generalizing metric (LSiM) to compare data from a variety of numerical simulation sources. We focus on scalar time-dependent 2D data that commonly arises from motion and transport-based partial differential equations (PDEs). Our method employs a Siamese network architecture that is motivated by the mathematical properties of a metric. We leverage a controllable data generation setup with PDE solvers to create increasingly different outputs from a reference simulation in a controlled environment. A central component of our learned metric is a specialized loss function that introduces knowledge about the correlation between single data samples into the training process. To demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms existing metrics for vector spaces and other learned, image-based metrics, we evaluate the different methods on a large range of test data. Additionally, we analyze generalization benefits of an adjustable training data difficulty and demonstrate the robustness of LSiM via an evaluation on three real-world data sets.

An evaluation of READ 180 in an urban secondary school
Creators: name: Gentry, Latonja
Publisher: name: American University

description: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intensive reading program, "READ 180," in an urban secondary school. READ 180 combines research-based reading practices with the use of technology, purporting to offer students an opportunity to achieve reading success through a combination of instructional, modeled, and independent reading components. In a year-long project, 9th grade students who participated in READ 180 were tracked and compared to a similar group of students not involved in the implementation of READ 180. Results of students' reading achievement, as well as gender differences, interviews related to student feelings about reading, and satisfaction with READ 180 were collected and summarized. Analysis of Co-Variance was used to examine differences among means for data that were continuous (score) variables. In addition, since students initially differed in reading ability, several of the background measures were combined via a multiple regression continuity analysis. The dependent variable was the reading (SRI) scores, and the background variables and a pair of dummy variables representing the two groups of subjects constituted the set of independent variables. Although results were mixed, some positive statistically significant differences were found with moderate to strong effect sizes, between students involved with the READ 180 model and a comparison group relative to standardized reading achievement measures. Furthermore, results are evaluated and interpreted in light of teachers' instructional behaviors, teachers' and students' satisfaction with READ 180, and students' performance on reading achievement measures. Finally, methodological issues are presented along with implications and recommendations for future research.

description: An experiment was conducted to characterize 62 mango germplasm using peroxidase isoenzyme. The results of the experiment revealed a wide range of diversity among the germplasm based on their peroxidase isoenzyme banding patterns. In respect of isoenzyme activity, nine bands were found at different Rf values located in three loci. Band number one and two were common in all the germplasm. Third locus is the most useful isoenzyme locus, which denotes allelic ipolymorphism in the germplasm MI 11 MI 48 MI 52 MI 69 but other loci do not denote allelic polymorphism.
The sources of current account fluctuations in small open economies
Creators: name: Ahn, Hyung Ik
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation investigates the sources of consumption and current account fluctuations of four representative small open economies (Canada, Korea, Mexico, and the United Kingdom) using quarterly data. This study develops an open economy heterogeneous-agent theoretical model, and tests the implications of the model by estimating single equation and structural vector-autoregression (SVAR) empirical models. This dissertation explores interpretations related to liquidity constraints and an overborrowing syndrome (associated with financial liberalization) as the sources of different consumption and current account behavior between developed and developing countries. First, the empirical results suggest that the theoretical model fits well for Mexico compared to other countries. Second, from the single equation models, while Mexico's consumption appears to be strongly affected by disposable income fluctuations. Korea's consumption appears to be strongly affected by external fluctuations. Further, statistical tests for an (unknown) structural break can not find strong evidence for a structural break for all countries. These results do not support the argument for a secular decline in liquidity constraints as a result of economic liberalization. Third, findings from the single equation models on consumption persist in the SVAR framework on the current account. Canada and the United Kingdom's current account fluctuations appear to be mainly explained by domestic net output shocks. In contrast, Mexico's current account appears to be also substantially affected by domestic fiscal balance shocks; and Korea's current account appears to be also significantly affected by external shocks, in addition to domestic net output shocks. Thus, the open economy heterogeneous-agent model appears to reveal qualitative differences in consumption and current account behavior between developed and developing countries.

description: A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of some organic wastes viz. Kitchen waste (KW), Sewage Sludge (SS) and Drainage waste (DW) on growth, total dry matter yield and nutrient contents of maize. The organic compost at the rate of 05, 7.5 and 10 t ha-1 were employed along with recommended doses of chemical fertilizer treatments. The pots were arranged in completely randomized design (CRD) with 10 treatments and 3 replications. Among the treatments used, KW and SS @ 10 t ha-1 contributed higher growth and dry matter yield over drainage waste though it also responded positively over control. The maximum plant height, leaves plant-1, fresh and dry weight of shoot and root, root length and total dry matter yield were recorded in KW @ 10 t ha-1. In the plant, highest concentration of N was obtained from SS @ 7.5 t ha-1 treatments while the maximum P, S and Ca contents observed in treatment receiving SS @ 10 t ha-1 and the maximum K content in KW @ 10 t ha-1

description: Decomposition of some tree leaf litters in Chittagong evergreen forest soils was studied during July to October, 2005. Leaf litters viz. eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), garjan (Dipterocarpus turbinatus), gamar (Gmelina arborea) and jam (Syzygium cumini) were added @ 2 g 100 g-1 soil followed by incubation at room temperature for 90 days. Addition of leaf litters decreased soil acidity, the pH value went up to 6.0 in gamar amended soil. Among them, gamar had the highest decomposition rate and garjan the lowest rate. After three months incubation, 25, 23, 17 and 16% of the added carbon were decomposed in the gamar, eucalyptus, jam and gatjan amended soils, respectively. Decomposition of litters was found to be related to their nutrient status.

description: Scattering of the temperature anisotropy quadrupole by free electrons in galaxy clusters leads to a secondary polarization signal in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations. At low redshifts, the temperature quadrupole contains a significant contribution from the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect associated with the growth of density fluctuations. Using polarization data from a sample of clusters over a wide range in redshift, one can statistically establish the presence of the ISW effect and determine its redshift evolution. Given the strong dependence of the ISW effect on the background cosmology, cluster polarization can eventually be used as a powerful probe of dark energy. As a further application, we also discuss how it might be used to understand the potential lack of power on large scales.
