description: We introduce a new class of Josephson arrays which have non-trivial topology and exhibit a novel state at low temperatures. This state is characterized by long range order in a two Cooper pair condensate and by a discrete topological order parameter. These arrays have degenerate ground states with this degeneracy 'protected' from the external perturbations (and noise) by the topological order parameter. We show that in ideal conditions the low order effect of the external perturbations on this degeneracy is exactly zero and that deviations from ideality lead to only exponentially small effects of perturbations. We argue that this system provides a physical implementation of an ideal quantum computer with a built in error correction and show that even a small array exhibits interesting physical properties such as superconductivity with double charge, 4e, and extremely long decoherence times.

description: Distance-specific fuel economy (FE) and emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) from transit buses representing diesel, retrofitted diesel, hybrid-electric diesel, and lean-burn natural gas technologies are presented in this paper. Emissions were collected from these buses at the Washington Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (WMATA) test site in Landover, Maryland. In this program, one bus each from diesel, retrofitted diesel, hybrid-electric diesel, and natural gas technologies was tested on 17 chassis cycles and the other buses were tested on a subset of these cycles. Data show that the test cycle has a profound effect on distance-specific emissions and FE, and relative emissions performance of technology is also cycle dependant. Lean-burn natural gas buses demonstrated their low PM output, diesel engines showed low HC output, benefit of exhaust filtration was evident, and the positive effect of hybrid-electric drive technology was most pronounced for low-speed transient cycles.

description: We consider tubular nanowires with a polygonal cross-section. In this geometry the lowest energy states are separated in two sets, one of corner and one of side-localized states, respectively. The presence of an external magnetic field transverse to the nanowire imposes an additional localization mechanism, the electrons being pushed sideways relatively to the direction of the field. This effect has important implications on the current density, as it creates current loops induced by the Lorentz force. We calculate numerically the electromagnetic field radiated by hexagonal, square, and triangular nanowires. We demonstrate that, because of the aforementioned localization properties, the radiated field can have a complex distribution determined by the internal geometry of the nanowire. We suggest that measuring the field in the neighborhood of the nanowire could be the basic idea of a tomography of the electron distribution inside it, if a smaller receiver antenna could be placed in that zone.

subject: Medicinal and biomolecular chemistry not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores the development of inhibitors for Dengue polymerase using fragment-based drug design. Fragment-based drug design often identifies very small molecules that bind weakly and require significant optimisation to develop them into higher affinity drug-like compounds. Assays were developed against Dengue polymerase serotypes 3 and 4. This enabled assessment of activity for 11 fragments and their 116 analogues, and prioritisation for development into higher affinity drug-like compounds. These were then elaborated by screening of unpurified reaction mixtures in order to triage vectors for elaboration. More than 700 compounds were tested to explore the development of high-affinity inhibitors of the dengue virus.

description: The inverse scale factor, which in classical cosmological models diverges at the singularity, is quantized in isotropic models of loop quantum cosmology by using techniques which have been developed in quantum geometry for a quantization of general relativity. This procedure results in a bounded operator which is diagonalizable simultaneously with the volume operator and whose eigenvalues are determined explicitly. For large scale factors (in fact, up to a scale factor slightly above the Planck length) the eigenvalues are close to the classical expectation, whereas below the Planck length there are large deviations leading to a non-diverging behavior of the inverse scale factor even though the scale factor has vanishing eigenvalues. This is a first indication that the classical singularity is better behaved in loop quantum cosmology.

Thermal state of transiently accreting neutron stars

description: We study thermal states of transiently accreting neutron stars (with mean accretion rates $\dot{M} \sim 10^{-14}-10^{-9}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$) determined by the deep crustal heating of accreted matter sinking into stellar interiors. We formalize a direct correspondence of this problem to the problem of cooling neutron stars. Using a simple toy model we analyze the most important factors which affect the thermal states of accreting stars: a strong superfluidity in the cores of low-mass stars and a fast neutrino emission (in nucleon, pion-condensed, kaon-condensed, or quark phases of dense matter) in the cores of high-mass stars. We briefly compare the results with the observations of soft X-ray transients in quiescence. If the upper limit on the quiescent thermal luminosity of the neutron star in SAX J1808.4-3658 (Campana et al. 2002) is associated with the deep crustal heating, it favors the model of nucleon neutron-star cores with switched-on direct Urca process.

description: Transit agencies are subject to both nationwide and local emissions regulations. The Westchester County Department of Transportation (WCDOT) is required to bring its older buses into compliance with county regulations. This paper quantifies emissions reductions resulting from actions taken by WCDOT through an emissions reduction program starting in 2005, with projections up to 2009. Selected buses were tested by the West Virginia University (WVU) Transportable Chassis- Dynamometer Emissions Laboratory over the OCTA cycle and a custom WCDOT driving schedule, the Bee-Line cycle. Based on measured results, future fleet-wide emissions were estimated for two scenarios : a baseline scenario in which the county requirements are met just in time, and a proactive scenario which reflects early actions taken by WCDOT. The proactive approach of WCDOT towards emissions reduction was shown to save, over the five-year period, 112.5 tons (53%) of carbon monoxide (CO), 23.3 tons (1%) of nitrogen oxides (NOx ), 11.3 tons (30%) of hydrocarbons (HC), 7.3 tons (44%) of particulate matter (PM), 1,119 tons (1%) of carbon dioxide (CO2 ), and 114,000 gallons (1%) of diesel fuel.

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2008
Subjects: Public Economics

description: This paper discusses existing measures for the analysis of transit network performance and develops new measures that use a comparative approach to examine the efficiency of transit network configuration. Most measures in transit planning and operating are estimated by the transit system itself, but because transit competes with other transportation modes, comparative measures are necessary to attract more transit riders. This paper introduces two measures: the Degree of Competitiveness and the Degree of Circuity. While these measures examine performance for each zone-to-zone travel, simple average and weighted average are also introduced to evaluate the entire transit network.

description: Many programs of the SAFETEA-LU have pointed to improving transit services and individuals’ accessibility in small urban areas. Urban economic theory suggests that improving accessibility by investing in transportation has the potential to drive up bids for land. However, will the improved transit accessibility in small urban areas increase property values? A number of studies have investigated the impact of rail transit on home sales but produced mixed results. Further, few studies have explored how transit influences the lease rate of apartments. This question is more relevant because transit accessibility tends to have a greater impact on apartment dwellers than home owners. Using about 400 apartment dwellers in Fargo, North Dakota, this study developed a hedonic price model to determine implicit price of proximity to bus routes. We found a negative impact of bus transit on apartment rent after controlling for other factors, however. We speculated that in a small urban area, this negative relationship could be mainly attributable to spurious relationships from other causal factors, as well as nuisance effects of bus transit itself.
Quantum Communication Through an Unmodulated Spin Chain

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We propose a scheme for using an unmodulated and unmeasured spin-chain as a channel for short distance quantum communications. The state to be transmitted is placed on one spin of the chain and received later on a distant spin with some fidelity. We first obtain simple expressions for the fidelity of quantum state transfer and the amount of entanglement sharable between any two sites of an arbitrary Heisenberg ferromagnet using our scheme. We then apply this to the realizable case of an open ended chain with nearest neighbor interactions. The fidelity of quantum state transfer is obtained as an inverse discrete cosine transform and as a Bessel function series. We find that in a reasonable time, a qubit can be directly transmitted with better than classical fidelity across the full length of chains of up to 80 spins. Moreover, the spin-chain channel allows distillable entanglement to be shared over arbitrarily large distances.

description: Organizations and companies across the nation are dealing with the exit of Baby Boomers in the work force. This has put succession planning on the map. According to Forbes.com, about 76 million baby boomers are eligible to retire by the end of the decade. This, along with the 8.8% decrease in the population between ages 25 and 34 projected by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), makes cultivating leaders from within an appealing and prudent activity. The Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) is no stranger to the issues surrounding the aging work force. With an average employee age of 45 and employment tenures of 15-plus years, the agency is facing a leadership gap. When key positions are vacated, the talent pool is limited and many do not have the necessary experience to step into these leadership roles. Many organizations look to bring in leaders from the outside, but according to the Center for Creative Leadership, 66% of senior managers hired from outside organizations usually fail within the first 18 months. When Steve Banta, TriMet’s new executive director of operations, arrived in May 2007, he shared with the organization a succession planning project from his former employer, the Port Authority of Allegheny County in Pittsburgh. The focus of this program was teaching employees about the agency and the leadership skills needed to move into key positions. While Banta was in Pittsburgh, the program was very popular with employees and saw success for fast-tracking employees into leadership positions. In the past few years, Pittsburgh’s program was retooled in response to the volume of management changes occurring at the Port Authority. Inez Colon, director of employment for the Port Authority says the original succession planning program found and cultivated new leaders, but now focuses on training and developing those leaders and new hires to be successful in their new roles. Banta believed Pittsburgh’s original program made sense for TriMet’s Operations Division. With support from General Manager Fred Hansen and the executive team, he enlisted the help of the Organization Development and Work Force Development departments and launched the Operations Leadership Development Program (OLDP) in January 2008. Six participants were selected for the program on a six-month rotation in the Operations Division. This inaugural class completed their program in July 2008. The following is an outline of the program and the success of the program.

description: Spin-orbit (SO) splitting, $\pm ω_{SO}$, of the electron Fermi surface in two-dimensional systems manifests itself in the interaction-induced corrections to the tunneling density of states, $ν(ε)$. Namely, in the case of a smooth disorder, it gives rise to the satellites of a zero-bias anomaly at energies $ε=\pm 2ω_{SO}$. Zeeman splitting, $\pm ω_{Z}$, in a weak parallel magnetic field causes a narrow {\em plateau} of a width $δε=2ω_{Z}$ at the top of each sharp satellite peak. As $ω_{Z}$ exceeds $ω_{SO}$, the SO satellites cross over to the conventional narrow maxima at $ε= \pm 2ω_{Z}$ with SO-induced plateaus $δε=2ω_{SO}$ at the tops.

description: Magnetism and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) are two quintessential ingredients underlying novel topological transport phenomena in itinerant ferromagnets. When spin-polarized bands support nodal points/lines with band degeneracy that can be lifted by SOC, the nodal structures become a source of Berry curvature; this leads to a large anomalous Hall effect (AHE). Contrary to three-dimensional systems that naturally host nodal points/lines, two-dimensional (2D) systems can possess stable nodal structures only when proper crystalline symmetry exists. Here we show that 2D spin-polarized band structures of perovskite oxides generally support symmetry-protected nodal lines and points that govern both the sign and the magnitude of the AHE. To demonstrate this, we performed angle-resolved photoemission studies of ultrathin films of SrRuO$_3$, a representative metallic ferromagnet with SOC. We show that the sign-changing AHE upon variation in the film thickness, magnetization, and chemical potential can be well explained by theoretical models. Our study is the first to directly characterize the topological band structure of 2D spin-polarized bands and the corresponding AHE, which could facilitate new switchable devices based on ferromagnetic ultrathin films.

description: A solution of the sourceless Einstein's equation with an infinite value for the cosmological constant Λis discussed by using Inonu-Wigner contractions of the de Sitter groups and spaces. When Λ--> infinity, spacetime becomes a four-dimensional cone, dual to Minkowski space by a spacetime inversion. This inversion relates the four-cone vertex to the infinity of Minkowski space, and the four-cone infinity to the Minkowski light-cone. The non-relativistic limit c --> infinity is further considered, the kinematical group in this case being a modified Galilei group in which the space and time translations are replaced by the non-relativistic limits of the corresponding proper conformal transformations. This group presents the same abstract Lie algebra as the Galilei group and can be named the conformal Galilei group. The results may be of interest to the early Universe Cosmology.

description: It has been argued in the literature that privatized airports would charge more efficient congestion prices and would be more responsive to market incentives for capacity expansions. Furthermore, the privatized airports would not need to be regulated since price elasticities are low, so allocative inefficiencies would be small, and collaboration between airlines and airports, or airlines countervailing power, would solve the problem of airports’ market power. However, as important as this issue may appear, not much has been done to analytically examine what the outcomes of privatization or divestment of regulation may be. This paper uses a model of vertical relations between airports and airlines to examine, both analytically and numerically, how ownership affects airports prices and capacities. Results show a rather unattractive picture for privatization. We find that: (i) private airports would be too small in terms of both, traffic and capacity and, despite the fact that they may be less congested, they induce important deadweight losses; (ii) the arguments that airlines countervailing power or increased cooperation between airlines and airports may make regulation unnecessary seem to be overstated; and (iii) things may deteriorate further if privatization is done on an airport by airport basis rather than in a system. We also show that two features of air travel demand that have not been incorporated previously in the literature –demand differentiation and schedule delay cost– play important roles on airports’ preferences regarding the number of airlines using the airport.

description: Talk by Dr. Dominik Wiedenhofer: “A novel approach for mapping material stocks of buildings and infrastructure from remote-sensing data” Spatial patterns of buildings and infrastructures play an important role in determining societies’ resource use patterns and are hence under scrutiny when pondering strategies to foster sustainability. Currently, two types of data are used to map building and infrastructure stocks: (1) night-time lights and (2) cadastral data, which both have important limitations. We here present results of an alternative approach that derives high-resolution material stock maps from a stock-driven modelling using freely available Earth Observation data derived from newest generation European Sentinel satellites, combined with information from OpenStreetMap and material intensity factors per m2 respectively m3 of infrastructures and buildings. The 14th Biennial International Conference on EcoBalance conference is hosted by the Institute of Life Cycle Assessment, Japan. The theme of the conference is “Materializing Sustainability Visions: Fostering Partnerships with Life Cycle Thinking” and due to COVID-19 restrictions, it happens as a hybrid-online conference. https://www.ecobalanceconference.org/

description: The history of the US airline industry has been composed of a series of “boom/bust” cycles, capped by periods of near panic. The record losses of the early 1990s were followed by the record profits of the late 1990s, only to be supplanted again by the record economic losses starting in 2000 (and exacerbated by the events of 9/11). Since deregulation, over 145 carriers have filed for receivership, and the industry still remains in fragile shape in spite of the success of a few members like Southwest and Jet Blue. Many industry analysts argue that the industry’s problems are the result of high labor costs, fuel cost spikes, overcapacity, etc. The authors do not deny the effects of these factors on the carriers’ plight, but there is a deeper, more fundamental factor at work. That factor is the tremendous over leverage, both at the operating and financial levels, present to this industry. The purpose of this paper is to explore this leverage situation and examine the effects on air carrier profitability that results from this state.
Evidence of strong antiferromagnetic coupling between localized and itinerant electrons in ferromagnetic Sr2FeMoO6

description: Magnetic dc susceptibility ($χ$) and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements in the paramagnetic regime, are presented. We found a Curie-Weiss (CW) behavior for $χ$(T) with a ferromagnetic $Θ= 446(5)$ K and $μ_{eff} = 4.72(9) μ_{B}/f.u.$, this being lower than that expected for either $Fe^{3+}(5.9μ_{B})$ or $Fe^{2+}(4.9μ_{B})$ ions. The ESR g-factor $g = 2.01(2)$, is associated with $Fe^{3+}$. We obtained an excellent description of the experiments in terms of two interacting sublattices: the localized $Fe^{3+}$ ($3d^{5}$) cores and the delocalized electrons. The coupled equations were solved in a mean-field approximation, assuming for the itinerant electrons a bare susceptibility independent on $T$. We obtained $χ_{e}^{0} = 3.7$ $10^{-4}$ emu/mol. We show that the reduction of $μ_{eff}$ for $Fe^{3+}$ arises from the strong antiferromagnetic (AFM) interaction between the two sublattices. At variance with classical ferrimagnets, we found that $Θ$ is ferromagnetic. Within the same model, we show that the ESR spectrum can be described by Bloch-Hasegawa type equations. Bottleneck is evidenced by the absence of a $g$-shift. Surprisingly, as observed in CMR manganites, no narrowing effects of the ESR linewidth is detected in spite of the presence of the strong magnetic coupling. These results provide evidence that the magnetic order in $Sr_{2}FeMoO_{6}$ does not originates in superexchange interactions, but from a novel mechanism recently proposed for double perovskites.

description: This paper focuses on the proposed intermodal train station at T.F. Green Airport in Rhode Island. Specifically, the paper has three objectives. First, it reviews the current conditions and status of the proposed intermodal train station. Second, drawing from the findings of the current conditions, the paper presents a list of primary benefits and challenges that have faced the development of the station. Third, the paper reviews the actions that have been taken and recommended to remove the barriers that have faced the project. The study concludes that although the proposed intermodal train station is a challenging and complex project, its successful development is within reach and the State of Rhode Island and the City of Warwick stand to benefit from it greatly. Benefits in the areas of economic development, improved environmental quality, and greater transportation alternatives clearly outweigh the possible drawbacks of the project.

description: omega Cen contains the largest population of very hot horizontal branch (HB) stars known in a globular cluster. Recent UV observations (Whitney et al. 1998; D'Cruz et al. 2000) show a significant population of hot stars below the zero-age horizontal branch (``blue hook'' stars), which cannot be explained by canonical stellar evolution. Stars which suffer unusually large mass loss on the red giant branch and thus experience the helium core flash while descending the white dwarf cooling curve could populate this region. Theory predicts that these ``late hot flashers'' should show higher temperatures than the hottest canonical HB stars and should have helium- and carbon-rich atmospheres. We obtained and analysed medium resolution spectra of a sample of blue hook stars to derive their atmospheric parameters. The blue hook stars are indeed both hotter (Teff > 35,000K) and more helium-rich than classical extreme HB stars. In addition we find indications for a large enhancement of the carbon abundance relative to the cluster abundance.
