description: Urban green spaces have gained attention because of their increasing relevance to human well-being in the context of challenges related to urbanization and climate change. Detailed, systematic, citywide assessments of specific urban green space characteristics that provide a sufficient understanding of resident interactions with green spaces and respective ecosystem service flows are lacking. We chose the city of Leipzig, one of the fastest growing cities in Germany, as a case study to assess the quality of publicly available green spaces by incorporating spatial context as a key dimension in determining their actual quality. We established 33 indicators that describe (1) natural elements, e.g., the types and configuration of vegetation and the proportion of water bodies; (2) built elements, e.g., various recreational facilities and path density; and (3) the embeddedness of green spaces within the built, social, and natural environment (context), e.g., the number of neighboring residents, nearby green or blue elements, and exposure to traffic. Based on these indicators, we developed a scoring approach that provides an evaluation of green space quality in terms of the potential to provide recreational ecosystem services. We identified and discussed spatial gaps and deficits in the quality of green space supply as well as leverage points for making operational improvements at the individual green space level. Our study provides urban planning guidance for identifying untapped potential for ecosystem services provision, e.g., because of usage barriers, and may help to balance the trade-offs between benefits for citizens and ecology and thus improve green spaces for both people and nature.

Sodium layered-oxide cathodes for lithium-free and cobalt-free batteries

description: Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are gaining attention as alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), particularly in the field of building-scale and grid-scale energy storage systems. The natural abundance and affordability of sodium relative to lithium makes the SIB a good contender for large-scale storage applications where battery cost is a more critical parameter than battery size and weight. At the cathode side of the battery, sodium layered-oxide materials are of great interest due to their similarities with the standard lithium layered oxide, and their high theoretical capacity of 240 mA h g ⁻¹. However, in practice, a high-energy sodium-ion cell is difficult to achieve, and their poor surface stability leads to rapid degradation in contact with both air and electrolyte. This dissertation begins with a comprehensive study to evaluate the various degradation routes of a sodium layered oxide. This evaluation is used to guide the future modification projects which aim to stabilize the material. A sodium phosphate coating applied post-calcination is found to greatly stabilize the cathode surface in both air and during cycling. The coating acts as a stable, artificial surface layer during cycling and protects the material from degradation on exposure to air due to moisture and CO₂. An alternative approach to surface stabilization is examined with the molten-salt synthesis method. In the molten salt, the particles preferentially grow parallel to the sodium diffusion channels, forming a micron-scale plate-like morphology. The edge planes, where reactivity and degradation are most severe, are highly narrow. The small surface area of the edge planes helps minimize surface reactions and subsequent capacity loss. Furthermore, the molten-salt synthesis method has benefits over the industrial coprecipitation technique and may be a practical method for large-scale synthesis of layered-oxide materials. Finally, the primary source of capacity fade during cycling is addressed at the electrolyte. The standard carbonate electrolytes degrade into an unstable, organic surface layer on the cathode surface. The electrolyte also causes transition-metal dissolution and its migration and attack on the anode. Two new classes of electrolytes are found to form a stable surface layer with minimal degradation of the bulk layered oxide. Together, the methods presented herein provide practical solutions to stabilizing layered-oxide cathode materials that can be applied either alone or in combination.

description: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) can be a life-altering injury that leads to functional impairments in both sensory integration and motor function. Upon insult to the spinal cord, numerous endogenous repair mechanisms are employed to mitigate the spread of damage, however, this in some cases leads to lifelong loss of functionality. Often pursued as a transplantation source, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have proven themselves capable of being derived into many of the populations that are damaged following SCI. Numerous studies have explored this in pre-clinical applications, with relatively robust success, however, there remains a lack of determination on which population to use. This determination is further obfuscated by the lack of understanding of complex spinal circuits. To mitigate these issues, I proposed a bottom-up approach, wherein using mixed cultures of enriched ESC-derived spinal neurons. Using these mixed cultures, we could then produce models of spinal circuits on microelectrode arrays (MEAs) to understand how these networks form. As much of the literature has focused on excitatory phenotypes, here, I explored methodologies to direct the differentiation of ESCs into distinct subtypes of inhibitory V1 interneurons (INs). I found, contrary to the literature I was only able to produce FoxP2⁺ V1 INs using my protocol. As there were remnant proliferative cells in my derived V1 INs, which would lead to heterogeneity, I used genomic engineering to produce a transgenic mouse ESC line that can produce enriched cultures of V1 INs. The cell line generated reduces the percentage of proliferative cells produced, while increasing the number of En1⁺ V1 INs produced. To evaluate MEAs as a platform to study network formation, I then proceeded to evaluate enriched cultures of V2a and V3 INs using cross-correlation and conditional Granger causality analysis. The work in this dissertation provides tools and methods that should enable future research into individualizing potential cell transplantation options for SCI.

The influence of place attachment, motivations for use, and litter on campers' evaluations of site conditions

description: Ecological and social impacts from recreational use may influence the quality of outdoor recreation experiences and the sustainability of recreation resources. Campsites are an important outdoor recreation resource where social and ecological impacts are often highly concentrated. Effective recreation resource management, particularly in high-use popular outdoor recreation areas, requires understanding current ecological conditions, and users' perceptions of those conditions. However, as a management and research community, we continue to be unclear about two fundamental concepts related to users' perceptions of campsite conditions: 1) how place attachment and motivations for use influence campers' evaluations of ecological impacts, namely the acceptability of campsite conditions, and 2) how the presence of litter (relative to other ecological impacts) influences those evaluations of campsite conditions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between place attachment, motivations for use, the presence of litter, and campers' evaluations of campsite conditions. Using a Normative Approach and visual methods, the researcher administered a questionnaire to campers (n=234) in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest (Utah). Results indicate that place dependence and motivations for use did not influence campers' evaluations of site conditions, but campers who reported that litter more negatively influenced their experience also reported lower levels of acceptability with degraded site conditions. Furthermore, as campers' place identity increased, their acceptability of conditions also   increased. These findings convey that place attachment and motivations for use may not   substantially influence campers' judgment regarding conditions, but the presence of litter is potentially highly influential.

description: This dissertation describes our work on design, fabrication and characterization of plasmonic metamaterials and tapered structures, with primary focus on their applications at terahertz (THz) frequencies. The phenomena associated with these structures rely on surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), which may allow for high field enhancement and tight field confinement. We have investigated the underlying mechanisms of these structures and used that knowledge to develop unique and practical applications. We first studied two-dimensional periodic and random lattices based on aperture arrays, and modified the model to describe the effective dielectric response of the perforated metallic medium. Using two layers of the perforated stainless steel films, we demonstrated the emergence of an additional resonance and reproduced the transmission spectra using the effective dielectric model of the single-layer medium. Also, we improved the filtering performance of the multilayer periodic aperture arrays by adjusting the relative distance and angle between the layers, and demonstrated its application as a high quality bandpass filter. Then, we examined the transmission properties of graphite and carbon nanotube (CNT) films, and then the same films perforated with periodically distributed aperture arrays. The extracted dielectric constants of the graphite and CNT films demonstrate their availability for THz surface plasmonic devices. Moreover, we developed a narrow band/multiband THz detector in which the photoconductive antenna was surrounded by periodically corrugated gratings. This detector not only enhanced the sensitivity of detection at the specific frequencies, but also efficiently collected the radiation within the structure area, which obviated the need for a substrate lens. Finally, we improved the concentration properties of conically tapered apertures. Based on the optimal taper angle we determined, we introduced various modifications to the individual tapered aperture, e.g., to form an array and insert a gap spacing, and further enhanced the concentration capabilities and realized complete broadband transmission. Based on these studies and results, we are currently extending our work towards development of more reconfigurable and active devices that could enrich the available pool of THz and optical devices. Furthermore, such THz devices have great promise for the development of THz systems level applications and even a THz-based world in the future.
Multifaceted analysis of transit station accessibility characteristics based on first mile last mile

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2016

description: The First Mile Last Mile (FMLM) challenge garners significant attention as a means to assess the accessibility of the first leg to public transit and the last leg from transit. As a critical barrier to public transit accessibility, the challenge provides many opportunities to closely analyze conditions from the level of the transit station upwards to the level of the system-wide network. Its usefulness in contributing to the body of knowledge on barriers to transit access provides planners and researchers important information with implications towards increasing ridership, transit efficiency, multimodal travel options, and mobility. Salt Lake City area is experiencing a rapid growth in transit infrastructure. The ambitious program of transit construction spans across light rail, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), streetcars and commuter rail simultaneously. This transit expansion program, led by Utah Transit Authority (UTA), strives to provide a multimodal system that can meet the daily transportation needs of the residents. FMLM strategy evaluations find strategy appropriateness and relevancy in many different contexts, but may still retain unique challenges imposed by such things as weather conditions, population characteristics, and cultural norms. This study proposes a methodological framework for analyzing the FMLM problems in the State of Utah. It utilizes microscopic and macroscopic data collection and analysis techniques, as well as network modeling, in an effort to quantify and understand the FMLM challenges facing each fixed transit station. The research aims to construct a set of station categories based on access mode characteristics investigated via discrete choice modeling and accessibility analysis to facilitate planning and to accommodate characteristics of potential and existing riders at rail stations in the UTA network.

description: Two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) seismic surveys are conducted across the Washington fault zone of northern Arizona, with the purpose of imaging the fault-related structures to a depth of 30 m by 3-D traveltime tomography and 2-D poststack migration. The scientific objective is to use the seismic methods instead of a trenching log to deduce the paleoseismic characters of this fault zone, and to guide paleoseismologists in the optimal placement of a future trenching survey. The first-arrival traveltimes of the data are picked and inverted for the P-wave velocity distribution. Tomographic results delineate two large low-velocity zones (LVZ), which are interpreted as two colluvial wedge packages. To detect the fault structures, which have more observable reflection energy than the 3-D data, the 2-D seismic data are migrated. Four faults are recovered in the migration image, including the main fault, and possible antithetic fault. The fault location is identical to that in the tomogram and raypath density image. The main fault in the tomogram is also consistent with the results from the geomorphology survey. These results demonstrate that seismic imaging methods (3-D traveltime tomography and 2-D reflection imaging) can delineate the shape and depth of LVZs associated with colluvial wedges. Although these LVZ images cannot unambiguously delineate different rupture events in a colluvial package, they can be used to optimally design a follow-on trenching survey. Combining the paleoseismic data with the fault slip inferred by tomography, the age of the fault is speculatively estimated to be younger than 16 kyr. Future work should compare my interpreted tomogram with the trench log soon to be excavated by personnel of the Utah Geological Survey (UGS), and analyze the validity of my geological interpretation. This trench was designed using the results of this survey, which is partial justification for seismic surveys over normal fault scarps.

description: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the gold-standard treatment for degenerative and arthritic knee diseases. TKA replaces the damaged knee articular surfaces with a prosthetic knee joint composed of a metal femoral component and polyethylene tibial insert. In 2013, approximately 650,000 primary TKA procedures were performed in the U.S., with approximately 10% requiring revision surgery necessitated by the 10 - 15 years limited lifetime of the prosthetic knee joint. A major limiting factor to the longevity of a prosthetic knee joint is fatigue crack damage of the tibial insert. The objective of this work is to address the problem of fatigue crack damage through: (1) experimentally quantifying fatigue crack damage in polyethylene tibial inserts and (2) predicting fatigue crack damage through finite element modeling. We have developed a novel subsurface fatigue crack damage measurement method based on specimen transillumination and used this method to measure fatigue crack damage in two tibial inserts. We have also developed a dynamic finite element simulation of the stress in the tibial insert under knee simulator wear test conditions, for an entire gait cycle. Two polyethylene material models, linear elastic and linear viscoelastic, were compared. It was observed that choice of material model has a substantial effect on the maximum von Mises stress. The location of maximum von Mises, principal, and shear stress in the tibial insert were compared to the experimentally measured fatigue crack damage to determine whether the simulation accurately predicts fatigue crack damage in the tibial insert. It was observed that the von Mises stress alone is a poor predictor of fatigue crack damage, while the locations of maximum tensile principal stress and shear stress correspond closely to the locations where fatigue crack damage occurred.

description: Anthropogenic climate change presents a pressing need for a deepened understanding of the factors contributing to vulnerability to natural hazards. This study contributes to understanding of the social dimensions of rapid-onset natural hazards by addressing the following research questions: How have historical developmental processes shaped hazards vulnerability? What are mechanisms underlying household vulnerability to rapid-onset hazards? How do large-scale, rapid-onset natural disasters influence long-term development outcomes for subjected communities? This study's first empirical analysis focuses on livelihoods as mechanisms of household resilience from Hurricane Mitch, utilizing the Nicaraguan Living Standards and Measurement Survey (LSMS). Findings indicate specific livelihood profiles to variably predict long-term recovery of disaster impacted households, with households reliant upon agricultural wage production exhibiting a lowered improvement in condition in comparison with households reliant on other livelihoods. This study's second empirical analysis, examining the hurricane's influence on international migration, finds international migration following Hurricane Mitch to be associated with heightened positive selectivity according to capital access. Although these specific livelihood related resilience mechanisms indicate resilience to be associated with high levels of capital ownership, analysis of recovery outcomes at the municipality level indicates a reduction in poverty in impacted communities and increases in consumption shares of those in lower consuming segments. The findings of this study's separate analysis, which appear at odds, are reconciled in discussion of other likely influencing factors.

description: Sustainable economic activities mandate a significant replacement of fossil energy by renewable forms. Algae-derived biofuels are increasingly seen as an alternative source of energy with potential to supplement the world's ever increasing demand.  Our primary objective is, once the algae were cultivated, to eliminate or make more efficient energy-intensive processing steps of collection, drying, grinding, and solvent extraction prior to conversion. To overcome the processing barrier, we propose to streamline from cultivated algae to biodiesel via algal biomass collection by sand filtration, cell rupturing with ozone, and immediate transesterification. To collect the algal biomass, the specific Chlorococcum aquaticum suspension was acidified to pH 3.3 to promote agglomeration prior to sand filtration. The algae-loaded filter bed was drained of free water and added with methanol and ozonated for 2 min to rupture cell membrane to accelerate release of the cellular contents. The methanol solution now containing the dissolved lipid product was collected by draining, while the filter bed was regenerated by further ozonation when needed. The results showed 95% collection of the algal biomass from the suspension and a 16% yield of lipid from the algae, as well as restoration of filtration velocity of the sand bed via ozonation. The results further showed increased lipid yield upon cell rupturing and transesterified products composed entirely of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) compounds, demonstrating that the rupture and transesterification processes could proceed consecutively in the same medium, requiring no separate steps of drying, extraction, and conversion. The FAME products from algae without exposure to ozone were mainly of 16 to 18 carbons containing up to 3 double bonds, while those from algae having been ozonated were smaller, highly saturated hydrocarbons. The new technique streamlines individual steps from cultivated algal lipid to transesterified products and represents an improvement over existing energy-intensive steps.

description: Image segmentation is the problem of partitioning an image into disjoint segments that are perceptually or semantically homogeneous. As one of the most fundamental computer vision problems, image segmentation is used as a primary step for high-level vision tasks, such as object recognition and image understanding, and has even wider applications in interdisciplinary areas, such as longitudinal brain image analysis. Hierarchical models have gained popularity as a key component in image segmentation frameworks. By imposing structures, a hierarchical model can efficiently utilize features from larger image regions and make optimal inference for final segmentation feasible. We develop a hierarchical merge tree (HMT) model for image segmentation. Motivated by the application in large-scale segmentation of neuronal structures in electron microscopy (EM) images, our model provides a compact representation of region merging hypotheses and utilizes higher order information for efficient segmentation inference. Taking advantage of supervised learning, our model is free from parameter tuning and outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods on both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional EM image data sets without any change. We also extend HMT to the hierarchical merge forest (HMF) model. By identifying region correspondences, HMF utilizes inter-section information to correct intra-section errors and improves 2D EM segmentation accuracy. HMT is a generic segmentation model. We demonstrate this by applying it to natural image segmentation problems. We propose a constrained conditional model formulation with a globally optimal inference algorithm for HMT and an iterative merge tree sampling algorithm that significantly improves its performance. Experimental results show our approach achieves state-of-the-art accuracy for object-independent image segmentation. Finally, we propose a semi-supervised HMT (SSHMT) model to reduce the high demand for labeled data by supervised learning. We introduce a differentiable unsupervised loss term that enforces consistent boundary predictions and develop a Bayesian learning model that combines supervised and unsupervised information. We show that with a very small amount of labeled data, SSHMT consistently performs close to the supervised HMT with full labeled data sets and significantly outperforms HMT trained with the same labeled subsets.
Chester, NJ for full orchestra and electronics and the chromatic scale and other iterative loops in beat furrer's Konzert fur Klavier und Orchester

description: Chester, NJ is a composition for electronics and full orchestra that explores the relationship between the propensity for artificiality inherent in electronic music and the richly human experience of performing orchestral music. The work unfolds in four distinct sections, outlining a slow moving symmetrical ascent of major thirds: C E G# and C. The analysis of Beat Furrer's Konzert fiir Klavier and Or Chester asserts that Furrer's concerto self-defines through a number of iterative loops, the most important being the recurrence and transformation of the ordered chromatic collection: the chromatic scale. Furrer's extensive and clear use of the chromatic scale in conjunction with other identity-building loops places his concerto in the category of a strange loop as defined by Douglas Hofstadter.

(Figure 2B)
Material examined. M07, Stn. 81, 548m, ♂ 22.7× 32.6mm (IEO-CD-MZ07/1900), 16S (MZ 424906); M08, Stn. 68, 244m, ♂ 24.2× 31.4 mm (IEO-CD-MZ08/1821), COI (MZ 434755); M09, Stn. 10, 305m, ♂ 43.8× 53.7mm (IEO-CD-MZ 09/1806), 16S (MZ 424907), COI (MZ 434756).
Habitat and distribution. The geographic distribution of Homola orientalis is the IWP from the East African coast, Gulf of Aden to Australia, Hawaiian Islands, Polynesia, New Zealand (Kensley 1981) and Korea (Lee et al. 2013). It is the most common homolid species inhabiting the upper bathyal zone of the whole IWP. Its known depth distribution range is 38–650m according to Guinot & Richer de Forges (1995) and 20–650m according to Emmerson (2016c). In Mozambican waters, it is reported at depths of 150–200m (Emmerson 2016c; Kensley 1981; Sasaki 2019).
Results and remarks. Three males were collected during M07, M08 and M09, from 244 to 548m depth, thus extending its bathymetric distribution in Mozambique to deeper waters (from 200 up to 548m). The specimens agree well with the description and figures in Guinot & Richer de Forges (1995). Some of them had epibionts, mostly barnacles.
Colouration observed. The sepecimens were orange, with small bright orange spots, especially abundant along the legs, where they form not very well-defined transverse bands. The fingers were black, except in their proximal portion.
DNA barcodes. The 16S sequences of the males IEO-CD-MZ09/1806 and IEO-CD-MZ07/1900 are 100% equals and fit 98.3% with an incomplete sequence of 406 bp (hypervariable parts deleted) of H. orientalis from Taiwan (?) (MSLKHC-Hoori, Genbank code KJ132562) included in the study by Tsang et al. (2014). The COI sequence of the specimens IEO-CD-MZ09/1806 and IEO-CD-MZ08/1821 (the same haplotype) differs 5.15% from the sequence of H. orientalis from China (?), a sequence included in an unverified complete mitochondrial sequence (KT 182071) by Shi et al. (2016).
