description: The introduction of nanotechnology education into K-12 education has happened so quickly that there has been little time to evaluate the approaches and knowledge goals that are most effective to teach precollege students. This review of nanotechnology education examines the instructional approaches and types of knowledge that frame nanotechnology precollege education. Methods used to teach different forms of knowledge are examined in light of the goal of creating effective and meaningful instruction. The developmental components needed to understand concepts such as surface area to volume relationships as well as the counterintuitive behavior of nanoscale materials are described. Instructional methods used in precollege nanotechnology education and the levels at which different nanoscale topics are introduced is presented and critiqued. Suggestions are made for the development of new nanotechnology educational programs that are developmental, sequenced, and meaningful.

description: Non-linear entropy stability and a summation-by-parts framework are used to derive entropy stable wall boundary conditions for the three-dimensional compressible Navier--Stokes equations. A semi-discrete entropy estimate for the entire domain is achieved when the new boundary conditions are coupled with an entropy stable discrete interior operator. The data at the boundary are weakly imposed using a penalty flux approach and a simultaneous-approximation-term penalty technique. Although discontinuous spectral collocation operators on unstructured grids are used herein for the purpose of demonstrating their robustness and efficacy, the new boundary conditions are compatible with any diagonal norm summation-by-parts spatial operator, including finite element, finite difference, finite volume, discontinuous Galerkin, and flux reconstruction/correction procedure via reconstruction schemes. The proposed boundary treatment is tested for three-dimensional subsonic and supersonic flows. The numerical computations corroborate the non-linear stability (entropy stability) and accuracy of the boundary conditions.

description: We have investigated dynamic behaviors of the magnetic domain wall under perpendicular magnetic field pulses in ferromagnetic nanowires using micromagnetic simulations. It has been found that the perpendicular magnetic field pulse can trigger the magnetic domain wall motion, where all the field torques are kept to be on the plane of nanowire strip. The magnetic domain wall speed faster than several hundreds meters per second is predicted without the Walker breakdown for the perpendicular magnetic driving field stronger than $200~\mathrm{mT}$. Interestingly, the dynamic behavior of the moving magnetic domain wall driven by perpendicular magnetic field pulses is explained by charging- and discharging-like behaviors of an electrical RC-circuit model, where the charging and the discharging of "magnetic charges" on the nanowire planes are considered. The concept of the RC-model-like dynamic characteristic of the magnetic domain wall might be promising for spintronic functional device applications based on the magnetic domain wall motion.

description: Dear Sirs, Haemostasis requires fibrinogen conversion to fibrin and formation of a stable fibrin network. Fibrin network properties, including fibre thickness, branchpoint density, fibre density, mechanical stability, porosity, and resistance to lysis can differentiate plasma clots of healthy individuals from those with haemostatic or thrombotic disorders. Plasma from patients with a bleeding history produces thick, minimally-branched fibres in coarse, deformable networks that are highly susceptible to lysis, whereas plasma from patients with a personal or family history of thrombosis produces thin, highly-branched fibres in impermeable, rigid networks that are relatively resistant to fibrinolysis

description: The study examined the perception of South-East Nigeria residents on Mobile Authentication Service (MAS) in detecting counterfeit pharmaceutical products. The study was anchored on the technological determinism theory and adopted the survey research design. The population for this study is made up of all residents of the five South Eastern states in Nigeria aged 18 and above, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, the projected population of the aforementioned states for 2021 are 23,856,937. The sample size for the study was 384. The sampling techniques used were purposive, cluster and accidental sampling technique. Findings from the study showed that that South East residents have negative attitudes towards the Mobile Authentication Service of NAFDAC because they believe it is useful in detecting counterfeit drugs, they know the steps involved but believe it is difficult to use and as such, they don’t tell others about it, which means silently rejecting the innovation of Mobile Authentication Service. The study recommended that to ensure that South East Residents develop a positive attitude towards the Mobile Authentication Service of NAFDAC, the Agency must constantly and consistently improve on how the service works.

description: The mechanical properties of blood clots are of central importance to hemostasis, thrombosis and embolism. Fibrin fiber networks are the major structural constituent of clots, and numerous studies dating back several decades have characterized their macroscopic viscoelastic properties. The fiber-level and molecular details giving rise to these properties have not been established, however. The correlation between mechanical properties and amino acid sequence is critical for a predictive understanding of the role of genetic defects in clot pathologies. To address this issue, we have developed a nanomanipulation technique for evaluating individual fibrin fibers. It consists of a combination fluorescence/atomic force microscope system that permits viewing of fiber deformation simultaneous with quantitative strain data. Recently we and our colleagues reported on the high extensibility of individual human fibrin fibers, with extensibility (or strain at breaking) of some fibers exceeding 300%, and elastic recovery with strains of up to 180%. This places human fibrin among the most extensible protein polymers, exceeding elastin and resilin in extensibility. Here we test the hypothesis that the majority of the strain is taken up by the tandem repeat segment of the flexible αC region of fibrin. Our study focused on this portion of the protein by mechanically evaluating fibrins with varying lengths of the tandem repeat segment. Using our integrated nanomanipulation system, we stretched individual fibrin fibers made of human, mouse and chicken fibrinogen which have long, intermediate and zero length tandem repeat segments respectively. We found that extensibility correlated with the lengths of the tandem repeat segments.

description: We investigate the angular momentum decomposition with a quantum electrodynamics example to clarify the proton spin decomposition debates. We adopt the light-front formalism where the parton model is well defined. We prove that the sum of fermion and boson angular momenta is equal to half the sum of the two gravitational form factors $A(0)$ and $B(0)$, as is well known. However, the suggestion to make a separation of the above relation into the fermion and boson pieces, as a way to measure the orbital angular momentum of fermions or bosons, respectively, is not justified from our explicit calculation.

description: Information Security is a major concern in today's modern era. Almost all the communicating bodies want the security, confidentiality and integrity of their personal data. But this security goal cannot be achieved easily when we are using an open network like Internet. Steganography provides one of the best solutions to this problem. This paper represents a new Cyclic Steganographic T echnique (CST) based on Least Significant Bit (LSB) for true color (RGB) images. The proposed method hides the secret data in the LSBs of cover image pixels in a randomized cyclic manner. The proposed technique is evaluated using both subjective and objective analysis using histograms changeability, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE). Experimentally it is found that the proposed method gives promising results in terms of security, imperceptibility and robustness as compared to some existent methods and vindicates this new algorithm.

description: The authors have developed steerable locomotive devices as small as 30 μm using the inertial impact drive as the thrust method. The devices consist of three-legged, thin-metal-film bimorphs designed to rest on three sharp tips with the device body curved up off the surface. Rapid, thermally induced curvature of one leg leads to stepwise translation on a low friction surface. A focused laser was used to supply energy and its parameters controlled the velocity and direction of motion of the device.

description: Since the forward and backward waves are coupled with each other and a standing wave with no net propagation of energy is formed in the photonic bandgap, it is a commonsense of basic physics that, any kinds of effects associated with wave propagation including four-wave-mixing (FWM) are thought to be impossible. However, we lay great emphasis here on explaining that this commonsense could be broken under specific circumstances. In this article, we report with the first experimental observation of the energy conversion in the photonic bandgap into other channel via FWM. Owing to the phase manipulation by fast light effect in the photonic bandgap, we manage to achieve the phase-match condition and thus occurred FWM transfer energy into other channels outside the photonic bandgap efficiently. As one-dimensional photonic crystal, simulations on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with and without fast light were conducted respectively, and an enhanced FWM in photonic bandgap of FBG was observed. The experimental result shows great agreement with the analysis.

(2013) demonstrated the potential use of such observations for measuring stellar angular diameters. Here, we use these same observations, and tomographic imaging reconstruction techniques, to produce two dimensional images of complex stellar systems. We detail the determination of the basic observational reference frame. A technique for recovering model-independent brightness profiles for data from each occulting edge is discussed, along with the tomographic combination of these profiles to build an image of the source star. Finally we demonstrate the technique with recovered images of the α Centauri binary system and the circumstellar environment of the evolved late-type giant star, Mira.

description: Halo is one of the most important basic elements in cosmology simulation, which merges from small clumps to ever larger objects. The processes of the birth and merging of the halos play a fundamental role in studying the evolution of large scale cosmological structures. In this paper, a visual analysis system is developed to interactively identify and explore the evolution histories of thousands of halos. In this system, an intelligent structure-aware selection method in What You See Is What You Get manner is designed to efficiently define the interesting region in 3D space with 2D hand-drawn lasso input. Then the exact information of halos within this 3D region is identified by data mining in the merger tree files. To avoid visual clutter, all the halos are projected in 2D space with a MDS method. Through the linked view of 3D View and 2D graph, Users can interactively explore these halos, including the tracing path and evolution history tree.

description: We report on experiments in which multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT's) are manipulated with atomic force microscopy (AFM) on a graphite highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrate. We find certain discrete orientations in which the lateral force of manipulation dramatically increases as we rotate the CNT in the plane of the HOPG surface with the AFM tip. The threefold symmetry of these discrete orientations indicates commensurate contact of the hexagonal graphene surfaces of the HOPG and CNT. As the CNT moves into commensurate contact, we observe the motion change from sliding/rotating in-plane to stick-roll motion.

description: The electromagnetic current~$J^+$ for spin-1, is used here to extract the electromagnetic form-factors of a light-front constituent quark model. The charge ($G_0$), magnetic ($G_1$) and quadrupole $G_2$ form factors are calculated using different prescriptions known in the literature, for the combinations of the four independent matrix elements of the current between the polarisations states in the Drell-Yan frame. However, the results for some prescriptions relying only on the valence contribution breaks the rotational symmetry as they violate the angular condition. In the present work, we use some relations between the matrix elements of the electromagnetic current in order to eliminate the breaking of the rotational symmetry, by computing the zero-mode contributions to matrix elements resorting only to the valence ones.

description: Large hadronic elliptic flow $v_2$ is considered as an evidence for the existence of a strongly-coupled QGP fluid in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. On the other hand, direct photon $v_2$ has recently been found to be much larger than hydrodynamic estimations, which is recognized as "photon $v_2$ puzzle". In this study, I discuss the implication of late production of quarks in an initially gluon-rich medium because photons are coupled to quarks. Numerical analyses imply that thermal photon $v_2$ can be visibly enhanced. This indicates that interplay of equilibration processes and collective expansion would be important.

description: Sulphide build-up in pressure sewers has been identified as the main cause for the occurrence of odour and corrosion in sewer systems. Despite the efforts to optimize commonly used control technologies such as nitrate and iron salts to reduce sulphide emission, continuous addition of these chemicals is still required. A biocidal agent such as free nitrous acid can be added intermittently, less frequently, and in smaller quantities whilst achieving total sulphide control. So far, laboratory and field studies in Australia and the USA have successfully proven and applied the use of this control technology, exhibiting its strong biocidal effects during intermittent addition. In this study, nine trials were made to assess the application of the free nitrous acid (FNA) as an alternative sulphide control technology in Germany. The sewer pilot plant of the Berlin Water Utility Company was used to perform the trials at a technical scale using a supply of raw sewage. FNA exposure times ranging from 5 to 24 h in varying concentrations were investigated. The effectiveness of the FNA treatment was monitored using the online hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas and dissolved-sulphide sensors installed in the sewer pilot plant. Effective sulphide control was only possible during dosing periods, with rapid resumption of sulphide production for the trials with exposure times of <12 h and concentrations ranging from 0.08 to 0.56 mg HNO2-N L−1 suggesting a slight inhibitory effect. A more pronounced biocidal effect was observed for the trials exposed to FNA treatment for 24 h at concentrations >0.29 mg HNO2-N L−1. Overall, the trials of this study demonstrated that the biofilms were FNA resistant and that the concentrations and exposure times used were inadequate to develop an effective intermittent dosing strategy.

description: Anonymous Hierarchical Identity-Based Encryption (HIBE) is an extension of Identity-Based Encryption (IBE), and it provides not only a message hiding property but also an identity hiding property. Anonymous HIBE schemes can be applicable to anonymous communication systems and public key encryption systems with keyword searching. However, previous anonymous HIBE schemes have some disadvantages that the security was proven in the weaker model, the size of ciphertexts is not short, or the construction was based on composite order bilinear groups. In this paper, we propose the first efficient anonymous HIBE scheme with short ciphertexts in prime order (asymmetric) bilinear groups, and prove its security in the full model with an efficient reduction. To achieve this, we use the dual system encryption methodology of Waters. We also present the benchmark results of our scheme by measuring the performance of our implementation.

description: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) related to wastewater in sewer systems is known for causing significant problems of corrosion and odor nuisance. Sewer systems severely affected by H2S typically rely on online H2S gas sensors for monitoring and control. However, these H2S gas sensors only provide information about the H2S emission potential at the point being monitored, which is sometimes inadequate to design control measures. In this study, a comparison of three market-ready online sensors capable of liquid-phase H2S detection in sewer systems was assessed and compared. Two of the three sensors are based on UV/Vis spectrophotometry, while the other adapted the design and principles of a Clark-type electrochemical microsensor. The H2S measurements of the sensors were statistically compared to a standard laboratory method at first. Following that, the performance of the online sensors was evaluated under realistic sewer conditions using the Berlin Water Company (BWB) research sewer pilot plant. Test applications representing scenarios of typical H2S concentrations found in sulfide-affected sewers and during control measures were simulated. The UV/Vis spectrometers showed that the performance of the sensors was highly dependent on the calibration type and measurements used for deriving the calibration function. The electrochemical sensor showed high sensitivity by responding to alternating anaerobic/anoxic conditions simulated during nitrate dosing. All sensors were prone to measurement disturbances due to high amounts of sanitary solids in wastewater at the study site and required continuous maintenance for reliable measurements. Finally, a summary of the key attributes and limitations of the sensors compared for liquid phase H2S detection is outlined.

description: We investigate the response of multiwalled carbon nanotubes to mechanical strain applied with an atomic force microscope probe. We find in some samples, changes in the contact resistance dominate the measured resistance change. In others, strain large enough to fracture the tube can be applied without a significant change in the contact resistance. In this case, we observe that enough force is applied to break the tube without any change in resistance until the tube fails. We have also manipulated the ends of the broken tube back in contact with each other, re-establishing a finite resistance. We observe that, in this broken configuration, the resistance of the sample is tunable to values 15-350 kΩ greater than prior to breaking.
Cooperativity and its use in robust control and state estimation for uncertain dynamic systems with engineering applications

Publisher: name: Universität Rostock
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: 620 Engineering & allied operations

description: This work shows a general applicable approach to robustly control uncertain dynamic systems, where the uncertainty is given by bounded intervals. The presented robust control methods rely on a verified enclosure of the state intervals. Since state-of-the-art-methods to calculate this fail, the property of cooperativity is used. However, since not all systems are naturally cooperative, a transformation routine is established to widen the possible application of this method. Different application scenarios chosen from a variety of engineering fields are used to validate the theoretical findings.

description: The electronic structure of nearly optimally-doped novel superconductor LaO$_{1-x}$F$_x$BiS$_2$ (${\it x}$ = 0.46) was investigated using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We clearly observed band dispersions from 2 to 6 eV binding energy and near the Fermi level (${\it E}_{\rm F}$), which are well reproduced by first principles calculations when the spin-orbit coupling is taken into account. The ARPES intensity map near ${\it E}_{\rm F}$ shows a square-like distribution around the $Γ$(Z) point in addition to electronlike Fermi surface (FS) sheets around the X(R) point, indicating that FS of LaO$_{0.54}$F$_{0.46}$BiS$_2$ is in close proximity to the theoretically-predicted topological change.

description: Mn1.5X0.5Sn (X = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co) nanomaterials in the hexagonal Ni2In-type crystal structure have been prepared using arc-melting and melt spinning. All the rapidly quenched Mn1.5X0.5Sn alloys show moderate saturation magnetizations with the highest value of 458 emu/cm3 for Mn1.5Fe0.5Sn, but their Curie temperatures are less than 300 K. All samples except the Cr containing one show spin-glass-like behavior at low temperature. The magnetic anisotropy constants calculated from the high-field magnetization curves at 100 K are on the order of 1 Merg/cm3. The vacuum annealing of the ribbons at 550 oC significantly improved their magnetic properties with the Curie temperature increasing from 206 K to 273 K for Mn1.5Fe0.5Sn.

description: How might cognitive wellness and therapeutic practices look in the future? Can mental discord be treated autonomously? Given that people are different and will therefore need different interventions, how can autonomous brain based therapy technologies be tailored to suit the needs of individuals at any given time? This exhibit suggests one potential future of therapeutic treatment and what this future looks like right now. HAPLÓS/Bisensorial is a speculative design concept and functioning prototype of wearable technology based on research in embodied cognition, somatic learning, and the effect of sound on cognitive processes. It uses binaural sound and tactile vibration on your back to induce mental states - such as calm. A genetic algorithm generates patterns of auditory and tactile stimuli, based on readings provided by an EEG headset. The result is intended to be an optimized and personalised soundscape and ‘touchscape’ that adjusts to your needs. Suggested citation format:  Maranan, D.

description: Neutron captures and delayed decays of reaction products are common sources of backgrounds in ultrarare event searches. In this work, we studied C13(α,n)O16 reactions induced by α particles emitted within the calibration sources of the Majorana Demonstrator. These sources are thorium-based calibration standards enclosed in carbon-rich materials. The reaction rate was estimated by using the 6129-keV γ rays emitted from the excited O16 states that are populated when the incoming α particles exceed the reaction Q value. Thanks to the excellent energy performance of the Demonstrator's germanium detectors, these characteristic photons can be clearly observed in the calibration data. Facilitated by Geant4 simulations, a comparison between the observed 6129-keV photon rates and predictions by a talys-based software was performed. The measurements and predictions were found to be consistent, albeit with large statistical uncertainties. This agreement provides support for background projections from (α,n) reactions in future double-beta decay search efforts.

description: In the course of railway reforms at the end of the last century, European national governments, as well the EU Commission, decided to open markets and to separate railway networks from train operations. Vertically integrated railway companies argue that such a separation of infrastructure and operations would diminish the advantages of vertical integration and would therefore not be suitable to raise economic welfare. In this paper, we conduct a pan-European analysis to investigate the performance of European railways with a particular focus on economies of scope associated with vertical integration. We test the hypothesis that integrated railways realize economies of joint production and, thus, produce railway services on a higher level of e±ciency. To determine whether joint or separate production is more e±cient we apply an innovative Data Envelopment Analysis super-e±ciency bootstrapping model which relates the e±ciency for integrated production to a virtual reference set consisting of the separated production technology and which is applicable to other network industries as energy and telecommunication as well. Our ¯ndings are that for a majority of European Railway companies economies of scope exist.

description: We study the cosmological predictions of two recently proposed non-local modifications of General Relativity. Both models have the same number of parameters as $Λ$CDM, with a mass parameter $m$ replacing the cosmological constant. We implement the cosmological perturbations of the non-local models into a modification of the CLASS Boltzmann code, and we make a full comparison to CMB, BAO and supernova data. We find that the non-local models fit these datasets as well as $Λ$CDM. For both non-local models parameter estimation using Planck+JLA+BAO data gives a value of $H_0$ higher than in $Λ$CDM, and in better agreement with the values obtained from local measurements.

Polarization Swings Reveal Magnetic Energy Dissipation in Blazars

description: The polarization signatures of the blazar emissions are known to be highly variable. In addition to small fluctuations of the polarization angle around a mean value, sometimes large (> 180^o) polarization angle swings are observed. We suggest that such p henomena can be interpreted as arising from light-travel-time effects within an underlying axisymmetric emission region. We present the first simultaneous fitting of the multi-wavelength spectrum, variability and time-dependent polarization features of a correlated optical and gamma-ray flaring event of the prominent blazar 3C279, which was accompanied by a drastic change of its polarization signatures. This unprecedented combination of spectral, variability, and polarization information in a coherent physical model allows us to place stringent constraints on the particle acceleration and magnetic-field topology in the relativistic jet of a blazar, strongly favoring a scenario in which magnetic energy dissipation is the primary driver of the flare event.
