description:  prediction technique for tidal heights and currents in the Lafayette River of Norfolk, Virginia has been formulated and tested by the implementation of a two-dimensional numerical model employing the Navier-Stokes momentum equations and conservation of mass. The model operates on a spatially-fixed rectangular grid system by utilizing a multi-operation finite difference scheme which employs implicit and explicit solutions to the aforementioned equations. Forces due to bottom friction and Coriolis are taken into account. The only open boundary considered in the model is the river mouth, across which tidal height is specified temporally. Collected tidal height and current data at stations spanning the river during four separate tidal cycles in the summer of 1975 were used to determine the predictive capability of the model. Forced oscillation experiments and an analysis of fieldwork techniques were performed to assess the accuracy of the model and data collection, respectively.

The predictive capability of the model for the four days considered snowed tidal heights predicted to within ±0.7 feet in all cases, and to within ±0.2 feet for the average case, as compared to the average tidal range at the mouth of the river of 2.6 feet. Velocity magnitudes are predicted to within ±0.5 feet per second in all cases, and to within ±0.2 feet per second on the average, as compared to the current maximum of the river of 1.1 feet per second. Prediction of velocity directions were also compared in order to verify more fully the accuracy of the model. The predicted directions differed from those observed by 15° on the average.

The model program, written in FORTRAN, was executed by the DEC 10 Computer System of Old Dominion University.

description: This study examines the distributional impact of education spending in Nigeria. The study made used of primary and secondary data from Nigeria. The relevant data were analyzed by using complex methods and tools (Graphical Analysis, Benefit Incidence Analysis, and Kakwani Progressivity Index Analysis). The study reveals that the rich- est group benefits more than the poorest group in public education expenditure in Ni- geria and they spend more on their children than the poor. The study also demonstrates that education spending in Nigeria is progressive in relative terms, with education spending on primary education being more progressive than for the secondary schools. However, the spending is regressive in absolute terms, meaning that the spending is not well targeted at the poor, hence is not "pro-poor". This study therefore recommends a determined "pro-poor" educational financing policy and a related new system in Nigeria.

description: We propose to combine simple discriminators for object discrimination under the maximum entropy framework or equivalently under the maximum likelihood framework for the exponential family. The duality between the maximum entropy framework and maximum likelihood framework allows us to relate two selection criteria for the discriminators that were proposed in the literature. We illustrate our approach by combining nearest prototype discriminators that are simple to implement and widely applicable as they can be constructed in any feature space with a distance function. For efficient run-time performance we adapt the work on “alternating trees” for multi-class discrimination tasks. We report results on a multi-class discrimination task in which significant gains in performance are seen by combining discriminators under our framework from a variety of easy to construct feature spaces.

description: Several studies on African small enterprises have analysed the growth constraints of small firms in the region (Hansohm, 1992; Mead, 1994). Some studies show that small enterprises in the region cannot sustain employment creation because they tend to generate low income (Livingstone, 1996; Daniel and Mead, 1998). In a compara- tive analysis of relative firms seize and economic growth, Beck et al (2005) findings revealed that the contribution of SMEs in economic growth in the transition and sub- Saharan African economies are relatively weak compare to SMEs in Latin America and South East Asian countries. With exemption of South Africa, SMEs in sub- Saharan Africa have been marginalised from the share of global income because they lack the capabilities to improve performance or sustain competition (Wohlmuth, 1991, Fafchamps, 1994). The study conducted between 2003 and 2008 in South Eastern Ni- geria used different approaches and empirical methods to investigate these claims and counter-claims in four agro-industrial sectors. Three unique findings emerged from the study: a) small enterprises cluster with high degree of informality character- istics can be active and as well be competitive in local market by using different strategies to overcome external competitive pressure. b) Regionalisation processes and liberalisation of the market in sub-Saharan African countries have led to in- creased trading networks across the borders of Anglo and Franco phone countries in African sub-regional market. c) Innovative activity in small enterprises in sub- Saharan Africa is a survival strategy in an open economy. The major problems identi- fied in the study are weak firm technological capability, low skilled labour force and Absence of linkage with large firms.

description: We have determined the theoretical predictions for the cross-sections of squark and gluino production at $\ppb$ and $pp$ colliders (Tevatron and LHC) in next-to-leading order of supersymmetric QCD. By reducing the dependence on the renormalization/factorization scale considerably, the theoretically predicted values for the cross-sections are much more stable if these higher-order corrections are implemented. If squarks and gluinos are discovered, this improved stability translates into a reduced error on the masses, as extracted experimentally from the size of the production cross-sections. The cross-sections increase significantly if the next-to-leading order corrections are included at a renormalization/factorization scale near the average mass of the produced massive particles. This rise results in improved lower bounds on squark and gluino masses. By contrast, the shape of the transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions remains nearly unchanged when the next-to-leading order corrections are included.

description: Parallel addition, i.e., addition with limited carry propagation, has been so far studied for complex bases and integer alphabets. We focus on alphabets consisting of integer combinations of powers of the base. We give necessary conditions on the alphabet allowing parallel addition. Under certain assumptions, we prove the same lower bound on the size of the generalized alphabet that is known for alphabets consisting of consecutive integers. We also extend the characterization of bases allowing parallel addition to numeration systems with non-integer alphabets.

description: We have obtained new optical and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectroscopy of the ultramassive white dwarf EUVE J1746-706. We revise Vennes et al.'s (1996a, ApJ, 467, 784) original estimates of the atmospheric parameters and we measure an effective temperature of 46,500 +/- 700 K and a surface gravity log g = 9.05 +/- 0.15 (~1.2 M_o), in agreement with Balmer line profiles and the EUV continuum. We derive an upper limit on the atmospheric abundance of helium of He/H = 1.3 x 10^{-4} and a neutral hydrogen column density in the local interstellar medium N_HI = 1.8 +/- 0.4 x 10^{19} cm^{-2} from the EUV spectrum. Our upper limit corresponds to half the helium abundance observed in the atmosphere of the ultramassive white dwarf GD 50. We discuss the possibility that EUVE J1746-706 represents an earlier phase of evolution relative to GD 50 and may, therefore, help us understand the origin and evolution of massive white dwarfs.

Recycling of raw wheat husk to manufacture magnesia cement based lightweight building materials

description: In the last decades, the attention towards “carbon neutral” cement and agro-resources’ by-products as new alternative raw building materials has grown exponentially. Within this context, the present study deals with the design of a lightweight insulating concrete based on raw wheat husk incorporated in a highly porous magnesia cement. Concretes made from plant aggregates are commonly formulated with lime binders, with one of these materials being lime-hemp concrete. In this work, the possibility of substituting the traditionally employed calcic lime binder with an alternative magnesium binder was explored. In the majority of the research studies, the lignocellulosic particles associated with a mineral binder come from plant stems, as is the case of hemp hurds. Wheat husks, instead, are the main by-product of the industrial process for separating the grain kernel from the inedible hull of hulled wheat species, so that their use could significantly enhance their valorisation and meet zero-waste concept. Having examined physical and structural characteristics of these lightweight aggregates, specimens made out of wheat husk and both traditional lime binder (LWC) and alternative magnesium one (MWC) were manufactured. Both thermal and mechanical properties of the ﬁnal concrete materials were studied and the results were compared to those obtained for hemp hurd concretes (LHC and MHC) manufactured with the same process. The first results obtained for specimens cured for 10 days at 20°C and 50%RH, show higher apparent density for wheat husk concrete with an average compressive strength of 1.88±0.09 MPa in case of specimens made by alternative magnesium binder (MWC) and 0.16±0.03 MPa considering LWC. Thermal conductivity is 0.142±0.006 W/mK for LWC and 0.35±0.03 W/mK for MWC. Considering a suitable balance between thermal and mechanical properties, the use of wheat husks could be promising for the manufacture of new environment-friendly products as inner partition walls and thermal insulating components.

description: Brazil has a vast use of concrete in the construction sector. Having the ability to store carbon for long periods, the development of concretes mixed with bio-based materials can be a promising alternative to ordinary concrete products in the Brazilian building sector, as a measure to reduce the GHG emissions. A bio-concrete with bamboo waste (BB) as main material, mixed with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), metakaolin (MK) and fly ash (FA), has been developed in laboratory for use as building panels for walls, roofs and floors. This article aims to investigate the effect of storing carbon in three different mixes of bamboo bio-concrete, considering the mass relation of OPC/MK/FA mixed with bamboo waste, additives and water. A cradle to grave life cycle carbon assessment (LCCA) was carried out, considering the production, transportation and end-of-life stages in a Brazilian context, based on data collected in laboratory, literature and the Ecoinvent database. A dynamic LCCA method was applied in order to investigate overall GHG-emissions from compared system and the impact of biogenic carbon emissions and removals over the investigated time-frame. The influence from different transport distances were evaluated through a sensitivity analysis. The bio-concrete with the highest replacement of OPC with MK and FA presented 77% reduction in terms of the sum of instantaneous global warming impact (GWIcum), when compared to no substitution of OPC. When the strength of the bio-concretes (in kg CO2-eq /m²·MPa) was considered, it presented a reduction of 88%. The use of SCMs, especially FA in the cementitious materials relation, also results in great benefits between the three bio-concretes. The use of DLCCA allowed a more consistent and informed assessment of life cycle GHG emissions flows and global warming impact of the bamboo bio-concretes.

description: We present new results obtained from a series of follow-up e+e- coincidence measurements in heavy-ion collisions, utilizing an improved experimental set-up at the double-Orange beta-spectrometer of GSI. The collision system U+Ta was reinvestigated in three independent runs at beam energies in the range (6.0-6.4)xA MeV and different target thicknesses, with the objective to reproduce a narrow sum-energy e+e- line at ~635 keV observed previously in this collision system. At improved statistical accuracy, the line could not be found in these new data. For the ''fission'' scenario, an upper limit (1 sigma) on its production probability per collision of 1.3x10^{-8} can be set which has to be compared to the previously reported value of [4.9 +- 0.8 (stat.) +- 1.0 (syst)]x10^{-7}. In the light of the new results, a reanalysis of the old data shows that the continuous part of the spectrum at the line position is significantly higher than previously assumed, thus reducing the production probability of the line by a factor of two and its statistical significance to < 3.4sigma.

description: We present a catalog of J-band spectra for 88 fundamental MK standard stars observed at a resolving power of R ~ 3000. This contribution serves as a companion atlas to the K-band spectra published by Wallace and Hinkle (1997) and the H-band atlas of Meyer et al. (1998). We report data from 7400-9550 1/cm (1.05-1.34 microns) for stars of spectral types O7-M6 and luminosity classes I-V as defined in the MK system. In reducing these data, special care has been taken to remove time-variable telluric features of water vapor. We identify atomic and molecular indices which are both temperature and luminosity sensitive that aid in the classification of stellar spectra in the J-band. In addition to being useful in the classification of late-type stars, the J-band contains several features of interest in the study of early-type stellar photospheres. These data are available electronically for anonymous FTP in addition to being served on the World Wide Web.

description: Both photometric and geometric information are important for 3D object recognition. Traditionally, however, few systems utilized both types of information. This is because no single representation is suitable for both types of information. This paper proposes a method for representing both color and geometric information using a common framework, the Spherical Attribute Image (SAI). The SAI maps the values of curvature and color computed at every node of a mesh approximating the object surface onto a spherical image. A model object and an observed surface are computed by finding the rotation that brings their spherical images into correspondence. We show how this matching algorithm can be used for object recognition using both geometric and photometric information. In addition, we describe how the two types of information can be combined in a way that takes into account their actual distribution on the surface.

description: (Shortened Abstract) We present new X-ray data taken from the ROSAT PSPC pointing archive for 21 clusters in the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS). We have supplemented these data with new optical follow-up observations found in the literature and overall, 32 of the original 67 z>0.14 EMSS clusters now have new information. Using this improved EMSS sample, we have re-determined the EMSS X-ray Cluster Luminosity Function as a function of redshift. We have removed potential mis-classifications and included our new measurements of the clusters X-ray luminosities and redshifts. We find similar luminosity functions to those originally presented by Henry etal (1992); albeit with two important differences. First, we show that the original low redshift EMSS luminosity function is insufficiently constrained. Secondly, the power law shape of our new determination of the high redshift EMSS luminosity function (z=0.3 to 0.6) has a shallower slope than that seen by Henry etal. We have quantified the degree of evolution seen in the X-ray cluster luminosity using several statistical tests. The most restrictive analysis indicates that our low and high redshift EMSS luminosity functions are statistically different at only the 95% level. However, other tests indicate that these luminosity functions differ by as little as one sigma. These data are therefore, consistent with no evolution in the X-ray cluster luminosity function out to z=0.5.

description: We explore the interconnection between search and action in the context of mobile robotics. The task of searching for an object and then performing some action with that object is important in many applications. Of particular interest to us is the idea of a robot assistant capable of performing worthwhile tasks around the home and office (e.g., fetching coffee, washing dirty dishes, etc.). We prove that some tasks allow for search and action to be completely decoupled and solved separately, while other tasks require the problems to be analyzed together. We complement our theoretical results with the design of a combined search/action approximation algorithm that draws on prior work in search. We show the effectiveness of our algorithm by comparing it to state-of-the-art solvers, and we give empirical evidence showing that search and action can be decoupled for some useful tasks. Finally, we demonstrate our algorithm on an autonomous mobile robot performing object search and delivery in an office environment.

description: Tungsten is an important element for magnetically confined fusion plasmas but has the potential to cool, or even quench the plasma due to it being an efficient radiator. Total and level-resolved dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficients, for all ionization stages, are essential to model tungsten. We describe a set calculations performed using the distorted wave code AUTOSTRUCTURE for the tungsten ions W$^{37+}$ to W$^{28+}$. We demonstrate the importance of relativistic configuration mixing in such calculations. In particular, we show that the partial DR rate coefficients calculated in level and configuration resolution can differ by as little as 5%, and up to as much as 75%. Using the new data, we calculate a revised steady-state ionization fraction for tungsten. We find that, relative to the ionization fraction calculated using the recombination rate coefficients of Putterich et al. (Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion, 50, 085016), the peak temperatures of W$^{37+}$ to W$^{28+}$ ionization states are shifted to lower temperatures spanning 0.9-1.6keV. This temperature range is important for understanding the performance of large tokamaks, such as ITER, because the temperatures in the pedestal, edge, scrape-off-layer and divertor region fall in this range.

description: The task of accurately mapping species-specific vegetation cover in remote and topographically complex regions like those found in Hawaiʻi presents unique challenges. This study leverages a machine learning approach to accurately classify vegetation into fine species-specific classes across the island of Lāna‘i, Hawaii, offering a novel methodology for tackling such challenges. Utilizing high-resolution WordView-2 satellite imagery, a neural network classifier and a custom lidar-based geometric correction, we introduced two new approaches to refine our high-resolution land cover classifications. This included the implementation of prior-based adjustments to class posterior probabilities to enhance land cover classification accuracy. Moreover, we developed mixed hierarchical classification maps that use class posterior probabilities to identify, at the pixel level, the finest land cover class that meets a user-defined confidence threshold. The resulting high-resolution land cover map for Lāna‘i captures the rich diversity and distribution of native and invasive plant species with high overall accuracy, generally exceeding 95%, based on independent ground control data. The capacity to produce wall-to-wall species-level vegetation maps provides a new window into monitoring vegetation dynamics on Lāna‘i and similarly remote and topographically complex regions, and contributes to our broader understanding of ecosystem responses to invasive species, climatic changes, and land management practices such as erosion and sediment control planning. Our approach offers a blueprint for similar efforts in other complex and remote ecosystems.

Such a characterisation is given in terms of polynomial operations, following the classical example of divided power algebras. We describe these polynomial operations in two different ways: one way uses invariant elements under the action of the symmetric group, the other coinvariant elements. Our results are then applied to the case of level algebras, which are (non-associative) commutative algebras satisfying the exchange law.

description: Fugitive dust caused by infrastructure construction reduces air quality and may cause serious respiratory problems. Earthwork contractors apply dust control strategies to meet environmental regulations for dust mitigation. A life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) was performed to compare the impacts of two dust control methods: water application—currently considered the best available technology by industry—and enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP), a new bio-mediated technology being developed at Arizona State University. For each dust control method, indicators of resource depletion (e.g., primary energy and water consumption), climate change (e.g., global warming potential), acidification, eutrophication, respiratory inorganics, ozone depletion, and smog formation were evaluated. The system boundary of the LCSA included the raw materials extraction, materials and energy processing, transportation, and treatment phases of the life cycle for each method. The potential impacts associated with water application exceed those of EICP across all impact categories, except acidification, eutrophication, human health particulate, and ozone depletion potentials. The transportation phase is the primary contributor to impacts for water application due to the need for daily treatments. In contrast, most of the impacts of EICP stem from materials processing and EICP process emissions. In arid climates where runoff to surface or ground water is of little concern, EICP process emissions depend largely on the volatilization of ammonia following the application of EICP on the soil. With respect to the economic impacts of each method, water application costs nearly double EICP. A sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of critical modeling assumptions, such as ammonia losses from volatilization and watering frequency. Due to its predicted impacts, EICP is potentially more sustainable than water application, particularly as watering frequency increases. With further development focused on preventing EICP process emissions and reducing production costs, EICP could become more viable for fugitive dust control.

description: Since holography yields exact results, even in situations where perturbation theory is not applicable, it is an ideal framework for modeling strongly correlated systems. We extend previous holographic methods to take the dynamical charge response into account and use this to perform the first holographic computation of the dispersion relation for plasmons. As the dynamical charge response of strange metals can be measured using the new technique of momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (M-EELS), plasmon properties are the next milestone in verifying predictions from holographic models of new states of matter.

Opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions of insulation materials in Canada after cannabis legalization
Creators: name: Arrigoni, A.
name: Panesar, D. K.
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2019

description: The risk of shifting the environmental burden of a building from the use phase (i.e. emissions arising from the generation of energy consumed during heating and cooling operations) to the production stage (i.e. emissions arising during the manufacture of construction materials and their installation) is particularly true for buildings that require a lot of insulation to reduce their operational energy consumption. This is the case for cold countries like Canada, where regions can experience more than 7000 heating degrees days (i.e. annual sum of the number of degrees that a day's average temperature is below 18°C). Energy efficiency, when attained, is typically reached by means of traditional insulating materials: fiberglass, rock wool, spray foam and cellulose. However, the recent legalization of Cannabis for recreational use in Canada may lead to new opportunities for alternative, bio-based insulating materials. Cultivation of Cannabis will produce in fact a large amount of wooden and fibrous materials as by-products. The same by-products from a plant of the same genus but lower (−)-trans-Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) content (i.e. hemp) have been used in recent years to produce insulation materials and their supply is expected to expand in Canada due to a recent deregulation for hemp growers. The objectives of this study are to: (1) evaluate the environmental consequences of substituting the current fleet of insulators with fiber-based panels and composite materials made from the wooden core of the Cannabis plant and a binder (e.g. hempcrete), and (2) understand whether an opportunity could arise in Canada to reduce the environmental impacts of the building sector using by-products of Cannabis grown for recreational use. Preliminary results from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) confirm that potential greenhouse gas savings can be attained if bio-based composites and fibers are used in insulative material products.

description: The results of calculation of light gluino contributions to Gamma(Z--->hadrons) and Gamma(tau--->hadrons) to O(alpha_s^3) are presented. The net effect in the case of Z decay is noticeable. For the tau width the effect is very large and, if a light gluino exists, suggests that alpha_s increases by more than 15% relative to the Standard Model analysis.

Combining Regions and Patches for Object Class Localization

description: We introduce a method for object class detection and localization which combines regions generated by image segmentation with local patches. Region-based descriptors can model and match regular textures reliably, but fail on parts of the object which are textureless. They also cannot repeatably identify interest points on their boundaries. By incorporating information from patch-based descriptors near the regions into a new feature, the Region-based Context Feature (RCF), we can address these issues. We apply Region-based Context Features in a semi-supervised learning framework for object detection and localization. This framework produces object-background segmentation masks of deformable objects. Numerical results are presented for pixel-level performance.
Combining Bayesian Networks and Formal Reasoning for Semantic Classification of Student Utterances

description: We describe a combination of a statistical and symbolic approaches for automated scoring of student utterances according to their semantic content. The proposed semantic classifier overcomes the limitations of bag-of-words methods by mapping natural language sentences into predicate representations and matching them against the automatically generated deductive closure of the domain givens, buggy assumptions and domain rules. With the goal to account for uncertainties in both symbolic representations of natural language sentences and logical relations between domain statements, this work extends the deterministic symbolic approach by augmenting the deductive closure graph structure with conditional probabilities, thus creating a Bayesian network. By deriving the structure of the network formally, instead of estimating it from data, we alleviate the problem of sparseness of training data. We compare the performance of the Bayesian network classifier with the deterministic graph matching-based classifiers and baselines.

description: One resolution of the ancient cosmic singularity, i.e., the Big Bang Singularity (BBS), is to assume an inflationary stage preceded by a long enough static state in which the universe and its physical properties would oscillate around certain equilibrium points. The early period is referred to as the Einstein Static (ES) Universe phase, which characterizes a static phase with positive spatial curvature. A stable Einstein static state can serve as a substitute for BBS, followed by an inflationary period known as the Emergent Scenario. The initial need has not been fulfilled within the context of General Relativity, prompting the investigation of modified theories of gravity. The current research aims to find such a solution within the framework of symmetric teleparallel gravity, specifically in the trendy $f(Q)$ theories. An analysis has been conducted to investigate stable solutions for both positively and negatively curved spatial FRW universes, in the presence of a perfect fluid, by utilizing various torsion-free and curvature-free affine connections. Additionally, we propose a method to facilitate an exit from a stable ES to a subsequent inflationary phase. We demonstrate that $f(Q)$ gravity theories have the ability to accurately depict the emergence of the universe.
