description: Strutinsky's averaging(SA) method is applied to multiquark droplets to systematically extract the smooth part of the exact quantal energy and thereby the shell correction energies. It is shown within the bag model that the semi-phenomenological density of states expression given upto curvature order is almost equivalent to the SA method. A comparative study of the bag model and the relativistic harmonic oscillator potential for quarks is done to investigate the quark mass dependence of the finite-size effects. It is found that there is an important difference between these two cases, which may be related to the presence/non-presence of the net spin-orbit effect.

description: Personal and social difficulties are key contributors to smoking during adolescence. This study examined personal and social factors that influence adolescent smoking. In all the study examined gender, perception of academic success, relationship between students’ teaching-students relationship, and adolescent smoking. Data used for this study are a portion of a large cross-sectional archival survey data titled “A questionnaire for high-school students on cigarette-alcohol-substance use” that was collected in 2018 among three high-school types (Anadolu High School, Imam Hatip High School, and Vocation high school) in Bagcilar, Istanbul. We examined the association between personal factors, social factors, and adolescent smoking by using the Spearman correlation and chi-square test of independence. Of all the variables irrespective of the influence of school types, the results found a link between negative perception of academic success, teacher–student relationships, peer relationships, and gender on adolescent smoking. More specifically, a negative perception of academic success was found to influence adolescent smoking in vocational high schools, while teacher–student relationships, and gender were found to influence adolescent smoking in Imam Hatip high schools. The only variable that was found to influence adolescent smoking in Anadolu high schools was peer relationship pressures.

description: Subduction zones are dynamic systems that control the global distribution of large earthquakes and volcanism. Many interrelated factors can control tectonic, seismic, and magmatic processes within subduction zones, including mechanisms that vary stress, thermal regime, volatile supply, as well as inherited features within the lithosphere, but the relative importance of these factors are debated. North Island New Zealand, where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the Australian Plate, is renowned for its unique patterns of seismicity and plate coupling in the forearc, the Hikurangi margin, and its magmatically productive intra-arc rift, the Taupo Volcanic Zone. In this dissertation I present three studies that use newly acquired controlled-source seismic data to evaluate (1) crustal and sedimentary controls on seismic behavior in the Hikurangi margin forearc, and (2) interplays between magmatism and crustal deformation in the offshore Taupo Volcanic Zone. In the first study, I explore the crustal structure of the northern Hikurangi margin, which is world renowned for its low seismic coupling, frequent shallow slow slip events, and strong ground-motion amplification during large earthquakes. I show that sharp along-strike variations in frontal accretion indicate variable sediment supply and past subduction of seamounts. Low velocities in the overthrusting plate indicate the presence of compliant materials that likely contribute to tsunamigenesis and enhanced ground motion during earthquakes. In a second study, I compare the structure of the megathrust fault across the interseismic coupling transition between the central and southern Hikurangi margin and reveal a clear correlation between sediment subduction and slip behavior. In the northern and central unlocked, slow slipping segments, the megathrust forms within pelagic carbonates and volcanic sediments. In contrast, the southern locked megathrust is localized to pelagic carbonates and is insulated from the effects of volcanics by ~0.5-1 km of subducting clastic sediment. I propose that slip behavior and coupling is controlled by the lithology and spatial distribution of frictional asperities along the megathrust. Finally, I determine the crustal structure of the offshore Taupo Volcanic Zone and demonstrate that crustal extension and recent magmatic activity are collocated. Deep-penetrating crustal normal faults overlie a ~40-kilometer-wide zone of sill-complexes and heterogeneous seismic velocities in the upper and middle crust. I propose that magmatic intrusions are localized by more permeable fractured crust and contribute to thermal weakening which facilitates rifting.

description: We study nonlinear cavity arrays where the particle relaxation rate in each cavity increases with the excitation number. We show that coherent parametric inputs can drive such arrays into states with commensurate filling that form non-equilibrium analogs of Mott insulating states. We explore the boundaries of the Mott insulating phase and the transition to a delocalized phase with spontaneous first order coherence. While sharing many similarities with the Mott insulator to superfluid transition in equilibrium, the phase-diagrams we find also show marked differences. Particularly the off diagonal order does not become long range since the influence of dephasing processes increases with increasing tunneling rates.

description: Birds (Aves) are the most species-rich terrestrial vertebrate group alive today, with a deep evolutionary history extending back to the Cretaceous and surviving through the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) mass extinction event. To best understand the evolution of this group, a combination of insights from fossils and living taxa are needed. Studies of extant taxa provide information on how living systems function, which is necessary to continue improving deep-time evolutionary hypotheses, allowing for more accurate interpretations of the fossil record. It can be especially important to study traits such as coloration to inform targeted approaches to new methods or to constraint reconstructions of extinct animals. My research expands our understanding of avian evolution by investigating the carotenoid coloration system within living birds to better elucidate how distribution of this pigment type has evolved across tissue types within Dinosauria. Ancestral state reconstructions indicate that carotenoid-consistent color expression was possible in bare-part tissues of extinct archosaurs including dinosaurs, with likelihood increasing within Aves. Expression of carotenoids in more tissue types and regions is also associated with increased dietary carotenoid content, indicating that extinct archosaurs with certain diets would have been more likely to express these colors. In addition to phenotypic data from living birds, more fossils from age-constrained localities are needed to better understand bird evolution. The fossil record from the latest Cretaceous extinction interval to early Paleogene is still limited, and most discoveries are from the Northern Hemisphere. New localities in Chilean Patagonia and the Antarctic Peninsula have produced new avian fossils, as well as fossils of other theropods, that expand our understanding of diversity from a critical time interval. New Chilean fossils provide the southernmost record of enantiornithine birds, as well as crucial new datapoints for the presence of ornithurines during the Maastrichtian. Fossils from Seymour Island, Antarctic, add to the known diversity of Sphenisciformes during the Eocene, while also confirming previously controversial records of Gruiformes and Xenarthran mammals from this period in Antarctica. While these new fossils are an important piece of the story, they are still limited in the amount of information they provide. Altogether, this research expands our understanding of species from Southern Hemisphere localities and shows the importance of taking a truly global approach to investigating mass extinction events. Furthermore, I highlight the need for more broad-scale consideration for phenotypic traits in living groups to understand how phenotypic variation evolves in deep time.

description: The Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis (BPASS) suite of binary stellar evolution models and synthetic stellar populations provides a framework for the physically motivated analysis of both the integrated light from distant stellar populations and the detailed properties of those nearby. We present a new version 2.1 data release of these models, detailing the methodology by which BPASS incorporates binary mass transfer and its effect on stellar evolution pathways, as well as the construction of simple stellar populations. We demonstrate key tests of the latest BPASS model suite demonstrating its ability to reproduce the colours and derived properties of resolved stellar populations, including well- constrained eclipsing binaries. We consider observational constraints on the ratio of massive star types and the distribution of stellar remnant masses. We describe the identification of supernova progenitors in our models, and demonstrate a good agreement to the properties of observed progenitors. We also test our models against photometric and spectroscopic observations of unresolved stellar populations, both in the local and distant Universe, finding that binary models provide a self-consistent explanation for observed galaxy properties across a broad redshift range. Finally, we carefully describe the limitations of our models, and areas where we expect to see significant improvement in future versions.

description: We extend the eigenfunction method of computing the power-law spectrum of particles accelerated at a relativistic shock fronts to apply to shocks of arbitrarily high Lorentz factor. In agreement with the findings of Monte-Carlo simulations, we find the index of the power-law distribution of accelerated particles which undergo isotropic diffusion in angle at an ultrarelativistic, unmagnetized shock is s=4.23 (where s=-d(ln f)/dp with f the Lorentz invariant phase-space density and p the momentum). This corresponds to a synchrotron index for uncooled electrons of a=0.62 (taking cooling into account a=1.12), where a=-d(ln F)/dn, F is the radiation flux and n the frequency. We also present an approximate analytic expression for the angular distribution of accelerated particles, which displays the effect of particle trapping by the shock: compared with the non-relativistic case the angular distribution is weighted more towards the plane of the shock and away from its normal. We investigate the sensitivity of our results to the transport properties of the particles and the presence of a magnetic field. Shocks in which the ratio of Poynting to kinetic energy flux upstream is not small are less compressive and lead to larger values of $s$.

description: A detailed theoretical study on the electronic structure and magnetic properties of half-metallic ferromagnet CrO$_2$ was carried out by means of relativistic full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) to the exchange correlation potential. Our calculation favours the [001] magnetization axis to be the easy axis of magnetization when compared to the [100] axis which is in agreement with the experiments. The calculated spin and orbital magnetic moments of Cr agrees well with the experimental and other theoretical works. The Cr L$_{2,3}$ x-ray absorption and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra were calculated for both the quantization axis and compared with the experiment. In addition the oxygen K edge and XMCD spectra were also calculated which compares well with the experiments. The XMCD sum rules were used to compute the spin and orbital magnetic moments and results agree quite well with the direct calculation.

description: Deepwater carbonate depositional systems represent historically understudied environments. The Permian Basin provides an advantageous location to re-evaluate these settings due to subsurface data density as well as existing outcrop and subsurface studies providing a framework on which to expand. Regional well log mapping coupled with cores and seismic data highlight a range of carbonate accumulations along the slopes and in the deeper basin indicating a need for updates to current Permian Basin basinal depositional models. Thickness maps and cross sections highlight multiple mounded and elongate carbonate-mud rich accumulations along the western slopes of the Delaware Basin. The mounded nature, lack of platform focused sourcing, and presence of oblique cross-cutting channels suggest these features represent carbonate contourite drifts as opposed to gravity-driven deposits. The drifts extend from the slopes at specific locations corresponding to bathymetric irregularities that likely locally weakened currents, causing deposition. Drift accumulations significantly alter slope geometries but present only one control on slope variation. Additionally, underlying carbonate buildups generates antecedent topography and drives differential compaction which influences platform to basin relief, subsequent slope gradients, and progradation-aggradation ratios. Bottom currents may also locally sweep sediments from toe-of-slope environments, inhibiting progradation. In the deeper basin, mapping highlights previously undocumented calciclastic submarine fans. The fans appear to be point sourced from the platform by antecedent topography, slope reentrants, and regional faults. Some fans extend into the basin over 100km and reach 250m in thickness. The fans range in composition, containing both carbonate debrites and turbidites, and varying volumes of mud-rich siliciclastic turbidites. Runout of gravity flows resulted in concentration of comparatively coarser carbonate material in proximal fan environments and finer siliciclastic mudstone, siltstone, and organic matter in fan fringe environments. This work highlights the first recognition of a carbonate drift system and the expanded interpretation of large-scale calciclastic submarine fans in the Permian Basin. As the Permian Basin represents one of the most heavily studied and geologic data-rich areas in the world, new interpretations of carbonate drift systems and calciclastic submarine fans indicate these systems are likely more common and overlooked in the ancient rock record.

We also include simulations of the diffraction through the single and double slit potentials, the refraction with a step potential and the dispersion by a central potential. The aim of this paper is to illustrate with simulations, nowadays easy to implement, scenarios that can help explaining the basics of the wave-particle duality.

description: The observation of GeV neutrinos coming from the Sun would be an unmistakable signal of dark matter. Current neutrino detectors have so far failed to detect such a signal, however, and bounds from direct and indirect dark matter searches may significantly restrict the possibility of observing it in future experiments such as Hyper-Kamiokande or IceCube-Gen2. In this work, we assess in the light of current data and of expected experimental sensitivities, the prospects for the detection of a neutrino signal from dark matter annihilations in the Sun. To be as general as possible, equilibrium between the capture and the annihilation rates in the Sun is not assumed in our analysis; instead, the dark matter scattering and annihilation cross sections are taken as free and independent parameters. We consider capture via both spin-dependent and spin-independent interactions, and annihilations into three representative final states: $b\bar b$, $W^+W^-$, and $τ^+τ^-$. We find that when the capture in the Sun is dominated by spin-independent interactions, current direct detection bounds already preclude the observation of a neutrino signal in future experiments. For capture via spin-dependent interactions, a strong complementarity is observed, over most of the parameter space, between future neutrino detectors and planned direct and indirect dark matter detection experiments, such as PICO-500 and CTA. In this case, we also identify some regions of the parameter space that can be probed, via the neutrino flux from the Sun, only by future neutrino experiments.

description: The $β$-skeleton approach can be conveniently utilized to construct the cosmic web based on the spatial geometry distribution of galaxies, particularly in sparse samples. This method plays a key role in establishing the three-dimensional structure of the Universe and serves as a tool for quantitatively characterizing the nature of the cosmic web. This study is the first application of $β$-skeleton information as weights in mark weighted correlation functions (MCFs), presenting a novel statistical measure. We have applied the $β$-skeleton approach to the CMASS NGC galaxy samples from SDSS BOSS DR12 in the redshift interval $0.45 \leq z \leq 0.55$. Additionally, we applied this approach to three COLA cosmological simulations with different settings ($Ω_m=0.25, Ω_m=0.31, Ω_m=0.4$) for comparison. We measured three MCFs, each weighted by i) the number of neighboring galaxies around each galaxy, ii) the average distance of each galaxy from its surrounding neighbors, and iii) the reciprocal of the average distance of each galaxy from its surrounding neighbors. By comparing measurements and calculating corresponding $χ^2$ statistics, we observe high sensitivity to the cosmological parameter $Ω_m$ through a joint analysis of the two-point correlation and three MCFs.

description: Over the recent two decades, space agencies have put enormous effort into remote sensing for understanding the global water and energy cycles. Our understanding of global hydrology has advanced in this golden age of satellite hydrology. This dissertation explores the global to continental- scale applications of multiple satellite missions for Earth system models to understand land-surface processes. Data assimilation is a novel approach to integrated satellite observations and models to provide continuous and more realistic estimates. In Chapter 2, I investigate impacts of land data assimilation (DA) on runoff and river discharge. Multiple experiments with the assimilation of different combinations of remote-sensing datasets are conducted using the Community Land Model version 4 (CLM4), constrained by assimilating observations from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E). Results show GRACE-DA dominants runoff, and snow-DA-induced runoff are pronounced in high and mid-latitude. GRACE-DA improves the spatial pattern of river discharge during summer and autumn. This study shows how data assimilation help improve discharge estimation. Satellite observations are used as benchmarks for diagnosing model performances in Chapter 3. Results show a systematic cold bias over drylands in the latest Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) simulation, associated with overestimated evapotranspiration cooling. The aridity-dependent biases in skin temperatures show modeled deficiencies in land-atmosphere interactions. Results suggest a higher priority to develop and improve related processes to eliminate temperature biases in state-of-art climate models in dry conditions. Predicting droughts is a great challenge of climate models. In Chapter 4, we investigate the physical process that controls water availability during drought to understand the mechanisms causing the disparities. Results suggest that using different physical parameterizations, such as considering vegetation response, affect water availability but also skin temperature through the modulation of evapotranspiration. The studies presented in this dissertation demonstrate the applications of satellite information in the field of large-scale climate modeling as data assimilation, benchmarking, and data inputs. Emerging challenges are shown and shed some light on the future research direction of global hydrology.

We consider in details the spectral and temporal dynamics of the Cherenkov radiation, which occurs in such system in the transient regime. We point out the resonance character of radiation and the appearance of a new Doppler-like frequency in the spectrum of the transient Cherenkov radiation. Possible applications of the effect as well as different string topologies are discussed

A universal set of quantum gates is implemented on a two-ion Coulomb crystal of $^9$Be$^+$ ions using only chip-integrated microwave addressing. Individual-ion addressing is implemented using microwave micromotion sideband transitions; we obtain upper limits on addressing cross-talk in the register. Arbitrary two-qubit operations are characterized using the cycle benchmarking protocol.

description: We derive the boundary conditions for the contact between an electrolyte and a solid electrode. At first we revisit the thermodynamic consistent complete model that resolves the actual electrode--electrolyte interface and its adjacent boundary layers. The width of these layers is controlled by the Debye length that is typically very small, leading to strongly different length scales in the system. We apply the method of asymptotic analysis to derive a simpler reduced model that does not resolve the boundary layers but instead incorporates the electrochemical properties of the layers into a set of new boundary conditions. This approach fully determines the relation of bulk quantities to the boundary conditions of the reduced model. In particular, the Butler-Volmer equations for electrochemical reactions, which are still under discussion in the literature, are rational consequences of our approach. For illustration and to compare with the literature, we consider a simple generic reaction.

description: Motivated by the occurence in rate functions of time-dependent large-deviation principles, we study a class of non-negative functions ℒ that induce a flow, given by ℒ(zt,żt)=0. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique existence of a generalized gradient structure for the induced flow, as well as explicit formulas for the corresponding driving entropy and dissipation functional. In particular, we show how these conditions can be given a probabilistic interpretation when ℒ is associated to the large deviations of a microscopic particle system. Finally, we illustrate the theory for independent Brownian particles with drift, which leads to the entropy-Wasserstein gradient structure, and for independent Markovian particles on a finite state space, which leads to a previously unknown gradient structure.

description: We apply a flexible numerical integrator to the simulation of adiabatic quantum computation with nonlinear paths. We find that a nonlinear path may significantly improve the performance of adiabatic algorithms versus the conventional straight-line interpolations. The employed integrator is suitable for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for any qubit Hamiltonian. Its flexible storage format significantly reduces cost for storage and matrix-vector multiplication in comparison to common sparse matrix schemes.

Astrophysical S-factor of the $^7$Be($p,γ)^8$B reaction from Coulomb dissociation of $^8$B

description: The Coulomb dissociation method to obtain the astrophysical S-factor, $S_{17}(0)$, for the $^7$Be($p,γ)^8$B reaction at solar energies is investigated by analysing the recently measured data on the breakup reaction $^{208}$Pb$(^8$B,$^7$Be$~p)^{208}$Pb at 46.5 MeV/A beam energy. Breakup cross sections corresponding to E1, $E2$ and $M1$ transitions are calculated with a theory of Coulomb excitation that includes the effects of the Coulomb recoil as well as relativistic retardation. The interplay of nuclear and Coulomb contributions to the breakup process is studied by performing a full quantum mechanical calculation within the framework of the distorted-wave Born Approximation. In the kinematical regime of the present experiment, both nuclear as well as Coulomb-nuclear interference processes affect the pure Coulomb breakup cross sections very marginally. The $E2$ cross sections are strongly dependent on the model used to describe the structure of $^8$B. The value of $S_{17}(0)$ is deduced with and without $E2$ and $M1$ contributions added to the $E1$ cross sections and the results are discussed.

Eigenvalue order statistics for random Schrödinger operators with doubly-exponential tails

description: We consider random Schrödinger operators of the form Δ + ξ, where $Delta; is the lattice Laplacian on Zd and ξ is an i.i.d. random field, and study the extreme order statistics of the eigenvalues for this operator restricted to large but finite subsets of Zd. We show that for ξ with a doubly-exponential type of upper tail, the upper extreme order statistics of the eigenvalues falls into the Gumbel max-order class. The corresponding eigenfunctions are exponentially localized in regions where ξ takes large, and properly arranged, values. A new and self-contained argument is thus provided for Anderson localization at the spectral edge which permits a rather explicit description of the shape of the potential and the eigenfunctions. Our study serves as an input into the analysis of an associated parabolic Anderson problem.
Holocene depositional history of Lavaca Bay, central Texas Gulf coast

description: Sediments in Lavaca Bay represent a texturally fining upward marine transgressive sequence. The entire sediment sequence is 120 feet (36.4 m) thick at the mouth of Lavaca Bay. Gravel and sand from the Lavaca-Navidad fluvial-deltaic complex comprise the oldest Holocene sediments in the bay. Successively younger sediments are represented by up to 80 feet (24.2 m) of bay-estuarine mud. The bay-estuarine sediments reflect three major mud sources. These are: (1) suspended load transported by the Colorado-Brazos fluvial complex, which was discharged into marine and estuarine bodies over 50 miles (83 km) to the northeast and carried southwest by longshore currents, (2) erosion of Pleistocene deltaic sediments exposed along the bay margins, and (3) suspended load transported by the Lavaca-Navidad fluvial complex, discharging into the head of Lavaca Bay. Comparison of the volumes of mud presently filling this Pleistocene valley, with calculated volumes of mud that have been supplied from these potential sources has resulted in a rough argillaceous sediment budget for this coastal estuary. Sufficient mud had been made available from the Lavaca-Navidad fluvial complex and the bluffs exposed along the bay margins to completely fill Lavaca Bay since Recent stillstand of the Gulf of Mexico. However, the sediment accumulation rate in Lavaca Bay is slow due to the transport of significant quantities of sediment out of Lavaca Bay by waves and surface currents. In addition, lithologic characteristics and facies relationships of the respective muds indicate that discharge of suspended load by the Colorado-Brazos fluvial complex had been an important source as well. Progradation of the Lavaca-Navidad fluvial-deltaic complex since Recent stillstand has resulted in a regressive sediment sequence which overlies transgressive sediments at the head of Lavaca Bay. The clay mineral suite in sediments in Lavaca Bay reflects clay minerals in the source area. No changes in the clay minerals were detected as a result of increasing salinity, sediment depth and time. X-ray diffraction data indicate significant potassium fixation by montmorillonite after treatment with 1N potassium chloride. Sediment facies are the main control on trace element distribution in Lavaca Bay. In general, high trace element concentrations are correlative with clay sediment content and, to a lesser degree, organic carbon content. Data suggest that both "detrital" and "nondetrital" trace elements contribute to trace element accumulations in Lavaca Bay
Regularity of second derivatives in elliptic transmission problems near an interior regular multiple line of contact

description: We investigate the regularity of the weak solution to elliptic transmission problems that involve several materials intersecting at a closed interior line of contact. We prove that local weak solutions possess second order generalized derivatives up to the contact line, mainly exploiting their higher regularity in the direction tangential to the line. Moreover we are thus able to characterize the higher regularity of the gradient and the Hoelder exponent by means of explicit estimates known in the literature for two dimensional problems. They show that strong regularity properties, for instance the integrability of the gradient to a power larger than the space dimension d =3, are to expect if the oscillations of the diffusion coefficient are moderate (that is for far larger a range than what a theory of small perturbations would allow), or if the number of involved materials does not exceed three.
