description: Molten salts, particularly nitrates and nitrites, have been used in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants as a heat transfer fluid (HTF) since the early 1980s. One of the main issues associated with the use of molten salts is their decomposition at high temperatures. Currently, there is no technology available for the continuous monitoring of the composition of these salts. This study focuses on the research and development of an online oxide ion sensor that would provide CSP plant operators with live data. The formation of an oxide ion is an indication of the decomposition of nitrate and nitrite salts. Electrochemical methods like cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear square voltammetry (LSV), and square wave voltammetry (SWV) were used to measure changes in the O2- concentration in both HITEC and Solar Salt. The peak current values measured with LSV and SWV were correlated via a linear function to the oxide ion concentration. Multiple calibration curves were developed for both salts in bench scale electrochemical experiments. A variety of electrochemical test methods and test materials were investigated in this project to support the development of a real-time sensor for oxide ions in molten nitrate salts. Platinum coated titanium rods were used as the working (WE) and counter electrodes (CE). A Ag/AgNO3 electrode contained inside of a thin-walled mullite tube served as a reference electrode. The probe designed and assembled based on this study performed effectively to measure the change in oxide concentrations.

description: Within the standard paradigm, dark energy is taken as a homogeneous fluid that drives the accelerated expansion of the universe and does not contribute to the mass of collapsed objects such as galaxies and galaxy clusters. The abundance of galaxy clusters -- measured through a variety of channels -- has been extensively used to constrain the normalization of the power spectrum: it is an important probe as it allows us to test if the standard $Λ$CDM model can indeed accurately describe the evolution of structures across billions of years. It is then quite significant that the Planck satellite has detected, via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, less clusters than expected according to the primary CMB anisotropies. One of the simplest generalizations that could reconcile these observations is to consider models in which dark energy is allowed to cluster, i.e., allowing its sound speed to vary. In this case, however, the standard methods to compute the abundance of galaxy clusters need to be adapted to account for the contributions of dark energy. In particular, we examine the case of clustering dark energy -- a dark energy fluid with negligible sound speed -- with a redshift-dependent equation of state. We carefully study how the halo mass function is modified in this scenario, highlighting corrections that have not been considered before in the literature. We address modifications in the growth function, collapse threshold, virialization densities and also changes in the comoving scale of collapse and mass function normalization. Our results show that clustering dark energy can impact halo abundances at the level of 10\%--30\%, depending on the halo mass, and that cluster counts are modified by about 30\% at a redshift of unity.

description: We study an antiferromagnetic order in the ground state of the half-filled Hubbard model on the Penrose lattice and investigate the effects of quasiperiodic lattice structure. In the limit of infinitesimal Coulomb repulsion $U \rightarrow +0$, the staggered magnetizations persist to be finite, and their values are determined by confined states, which are strictly localized with thermodynamics degeneracy. The magnetizations exhibit an exotic spatial pattern, and have the same sign in each of cluster regions, the size of which ranges from 31 sites to infinity. With increasing $U$, they continuously evolve to those of the corresponding spin model in the $U=\infty$ limit. In both limits of $U$, local magnetizations exhibit a fairly intricate spatial pattern that reflects the quasiperiodic structure, but the pattern differs between the two limits. We have analyzed this pattern change by a mode analysis by the singular value decomposition method for the fractal-like magnetization pattern projected into the perpendicular space.

We consider stationary, axisymmetric and asymptotically flat spacetimes describing charged BHs in general relativity (GR) combined with non-linear electrodynamics, or reflecting influence of dark matter (DM), or in so called parameterized dirty Kerr spacetimes. We distinguish the spacetimes having different orbital frequencies from the standard Kerr BH, and test various BH spacetimes using the hot-spot data. We show that the orbital frequencies and positions of the hot-spots orbiting the considered BHs, fit the observed positions and periods of the flare orbits and give relevant constrains on the parameters of the considered BH spacetimes and the gravity or other theories behind such modified spacetimes.

description: Starting from the type IIB string on the Z orbifold, we construct some chiral open-string vacua with N=1 supersymmetry in four dimensions. The Chan-Paton group depends on the (quantized) NS-NS antisymmetric tensor. The largest choice, SO(8)xSU(12)xU(1), has an anomalous U(1) factor whose gauge boson acquires a mass of the order of the string scale. The corresponding open-string spectrum comprises only Neumann strings and includes three families of chiral multiplets in the (8,12*) + (1,66) representation. A comparison is drawn with a heterotic vacuum with non-standard embedding, and some properties of the low-energy effective field theory are discussed.

Vulnerability

description: This project explicates the interpersonal communication process of “voicing a vulnerable want.” Voicing a vulnerable want is conceptualized as a combination of a self-disclosure and a request. A questionnaire administered to 200 adults in a close relationship asked individuals to describe an instance when they voiced a vulnerable want, to recall what they wanted from their hearer, and to identify the concerns they had about voicing their want. The questionnaire included measures of relational power, relational closeness, and request imposition to produce a composite FTA-size (face-threatening act) score. Measures for vulnerability, face wants/concerns, influence goal(s), and perceived message effectiveness were also included. Using thematic analysis, a typology was built that describes common interpersonal goals individuals have when voicing their vulnerable wants. Results also showed that individuals had a variety of influence goals during the interaction. Findings further revealed that individuals had multiple face threat concerns when voicing their vulnerable wants. A logistic regression indicated that the level of imposition interacts with vulnerability in predicting whether an individual will express self-approval when voicing their vulnerable want. Additional regressions revealed that directness, pressure, and self-approval each positively and significantly predicted how effective individuals’ perceived their message to be. These findings are discussed in light of request-making and self-disclosure theorizing.

description: This dissertation is to theoretically and empirically explore how development impacts the environment in the largest developing country in the world from the perspective of sociology of development, and environmental and urban sociology. This dissertation focuses on the context of China, reviews the development trajectories adopted during the past more than six decades, and presents the spatial and temporal pattern of environmental degradation across regions and over time. Then, this dissertation empirically examines the relationship between development and environmental degradation answering the following questions: (1) whether economic development level is positively or negatively associated with air and water pollution; (2) whether industrialization, urbanization and globalization (international trade and Foreign Direct Investment inflows) are positively or negatively associated with air and water pollution; (3) how the impact has changed across regions and over time; and (4) how the sources of foreign capital have differentially affected environmental pollution across cities and over time. The dissertation presents how economic development level (GDP per capita as the indicator), globalization, industrialization and urbanization have impact on air and water pollution respectively across regions and over time, and examines whether globalization, industrialization and urbanization serves as the pathways in the association between development and environmental pollution in such a rapid economy with the most population in the world. Multilevel modeling is used to analyze the longitudinal data at the city level from 2004 to2013. The findings confirm that there is inverted-U shape only between economic development and SO2 emission (not for dust emission or water pollution), indicating whether Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) holds depending on the specific indicators of environmental degradation analyzed. More importantly, the results show that industrialization and urbanization are more likely to positively impact air pollution, while there is no strong evidence supporting that globalization has impact on air pollution. Meanwhile, industrialization and globalization are more likely to positively impact water pollution, while population density is negatively associated with water pollution.

description: The HTML5 is widely used to display high quality graphics in web applications. However, the combination of web, GUI, and visual techniques that are required to build applications, together with the lack of testing and debugging tools, makes developing such applications very challenging. To help direct future research on testing applications, in this paper we present a taxonomy of testable issues. First, we extracted 2,403 -related issue reports from 123 open-source GitHub projects that use the HTML5 . Second, we constructed our taxonomy by manually classifying a random sample of 332 issue reports. Our manual classification identified five broad categories of testable issues, such as Visual and Performance issues. We found that Visual issues are the most frequent (35%), while Performance issues are relatively infrequent (5%). We also found that many testable issues that present themselves visually on the are actually caused by other components of the web application. Our taxonomy of testable issues can be used to steer future research into issues and testing.

description: The distribution of a population throughout the physiological age of the individuals is very relevant information in population studies. It has been modeled by the Langevin and the Fokker- Planck equations. A major problem with these equations is that they allow the physiological age to move back in time. This paper proposes an Infinitesimally ratcheted random walk as a way to solve that problem. Two mathematical representations are proposed. One of them uses a non-local scalar field. The other one is local, but involves a multi-component field of speed states. These two formulations are compared to each other and to the Fokker-Planck equation. The relevant properties are discussed. The dynamics of the mean and variance of the population age resulting from the two proposed formulations are obtained.

description: Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular autoimmune disease primarily associated with the presence of antibodies directed toward receptors embedded in the motor end-plate at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). These antibodies cause blockage, dysfunction, and degradation of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) leading to muscle weakness and fatigability. Three main types of AChR antibodies have been identified and are referred to as binding, modulating, and blocking. Detection of acetylcholine receptor antibodies through the use of a radio-label has become standard procedure in most laboratories. Known drawbacks are associated with radioimmunoassay; cost of radioisotopes, hazards to laboratory professionals, and manufacture and disposal of radioactive materials have prompted investigation into replacement assays. In 2009, scientists described a method of detecting AChR modulating antibodies using flow cytometric techniques. They utilized fluorescently-labeled molecules to aid in the detection of modulated AChR and to confirm the presence of AChR modulating antibodies. We postulate that similar techniques could enable the conversion of the AChR blocking assay to flow cytometry as well. Described here is a high-throughput immunofluorescent flow cytometric assay designed for the detection of AChR blocking antibodies. Three-hundred-twenty-four sera were tested on both the AChR blocking radio-assay and the new immunofluorescent flow cytometric assay. Analysis of the results revealed a 96.9% concordance between the two assay methodologies. Our results indicate that a new immunofluorescent flow cytometric AChR blocking antibody assay is not only feasible, but clinically comparable in both sensitivity (91%) and specificity (99%) when compared to radio-assay.

description: Recent numerical studies of oscillating flux tubes have established the significance of resonant absorption in the damping of propagating transverse oscillations in coronal loops. The nonlinear nature of the mechanism has been examined alongside the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, which is expected to manifest in the resonant layers at the edges of the flux tubes. While these two processes have been hypothesized to heat coronal loops through the dissipation of wave energy into smaller scales, the occurring mixing with the hotter surroundings can potentially hide this effect. We aim to study the effects of wave heating from driven and standing kink waves in a coronal loop. Using the MPI-AMRVAC code, we perform ideal, three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of both (a) footpoint driven and (b) free standing oscillations in a straight coronal flux tube, in the presence of numerical resistivity. We have observed the development of Kelvin-Helmholtz eddies at the loop boundary layer of all three models considered here, as well as an increase of the volume averaged temperature inside the loop. The main heating mechanism in our setups was Ohmic dissipation, as indicated by the higher values for the temperatures and current densities located near the footpoints. The introduction of a temperature gradient between the inner tube and the surrounding plasma, suggests that the mixing of the two regions, in the case of hotter environment, greatly increases the temperature of the tube at the site of the strongest turbulence, beyond the contribution of the aforementioned wave heating mechanism.

description: The primary objective of this project was to develop a downhole heater to raise oil shale to a specified temperature in-situ, and to recover energy-rich liquids and gasses. The project had two main phases. Phase I was a preliminary study investigating several different burner concepts for generating heat at great depth and over significant horizontal lengths. In Phase II, a unique configuration of a downhole heater was proposed that eliminates some of the issues regarding previously-considered configurations. The feasibility and applicability of the proposed heater were investigated by looking at key issues that have not been completely addressed in the literature by other researchers. First, calculations were performed to determine appropriate sizes for feeder pipes and nozzles, as well as the pressure distributions in different sections of the heater, so that a uniform flow distribution is maintained along the 2000 ft length of the heater. Then, the overall heat transfer coefficient in the heater and the required gas mixture temperature were determined based on design specifications. The average overall heat transfer coefficients of the outer annulus and the reaction chamber were estimated as 15 W/ (m2. K) and 3.5 W/ (m2. K). The average flue gas temperature was determined to be equal to 939 K. Second, a cold-flow study was performed to investigate the effect of nozzle spacing and orientation on the mixing behavior inside the heater. It was concluded the radial orientations of the nozzles have a more significant role in the mixing behavior than the axial positions. Finally, the effects of the diluents N2, CO2, and H2O on the oxidation behavior of methane-oxygen mixtures were investigated by CHEMKIN modeling studies and reaction sensitivity analysis. Thesestudies concluded that at low gas inlet temperatures, the flame temperature is mainly controlled by the thermal properties of the diluents, and the chemical effect of the diluents is almost negligible. As the heat capacity of the mixture increases, the reaction temperature and the flame speed drop, while the ignition delay time increases. Water vapor addition at a low initial temperature (800-900 K) and 30 atm promotes methane oxidation and decreases the ignition delay time.

description: Entanglement between spatially distant qubits is perhaps the most counterintuitive and vital resource for distributed quantum computing. However, despite a few special cases, there is no known general procedure to maximally entangle two distant parts of an interacting many-body system. Here we present a symmetry-based approach, whereby one applies several timed pulses to drive a system to a particular symmetry sector with maximal bipartite long-range entanglement. As a concrete example, we demonstrate how a simple sequence of on-site pulses on a qubit array can efficiently produce any given number of stable nonlocal Bell pairs, realizable in several present-day atomic and photonic experimental platforms. More generally, our approach paves a route for novel state preparation by harnessing symmetry. For instance, we show how it enables the creation of long-sought-after superconducting $η$ pairs in a repulsive Hubbard model.

description: Federated learning (FL) has been intensively investigated in terms of communication efficiency, privacy, and fairness. However, efficient annotation, which is a pain point in real-world FL applications, is less studied. In this project, we propose to apply active learning (AL) and sampling strategy into the FL framework to reduce the annotation workload. We expect that the AL and FL can improve the performance of each other complementarily. In our proposed federated active learning (F-AL) method, the clients collaboratively implement the AL to obtain the instances which are considered as informative to FL in a distributed optimization manner. We compare the test accuracies of the global FL models using the conventional random sampling strategy, client-level separate AL (S-AL), and the proposed F-AL. We empirically demonstrate that the F-AL outperforms baseline methods in image classification tasks.

Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Linguistic markers of religious fundamentalism : an Internet study

Subjects: Religious fundamentalism
Linguistic markers

description: Outside of a purely individual dimension religion exists in the form of texts, traditions, and symbols, and in a narrower perspective, religion exists in individual’s behaviors, rites, and habits. Religion can be conceptualized as a cognitive phenomenon in that every religious system includes a set of explicit and implicit propositions held to be true. Following this path we can observe the relationship between particular forms of religious commitment and the organization of thought. Whether religion is considered a cognitive organization of beliefs or a cognitive schema itself (McIntosh, 1995), there is no doubt that the beliefs system affects how people structure their understanding of the world. This is especially true for religious fundamentalists, where the system of beliefs is presumed to have a broad and profound reach in the individual’s worldview. One interesting way of looking at religious fundamentalism from a cognitive perspective is through the analysis of language (Pennebaker & Francis 1999; Pennebaker et al. 2003). Data is presented from an analysis of written essays not strictly related to religious topics. Significant differences in patterns of pronoun use, religious words, and other linguistic categories support --among other things-- the theory that sees religious fundamentalists as having a stronger group identity than non-fundamentalists

Upon exiting the beam splitter the ensembles of Rydberg atoms were separated by up to 15.6 mm and were detected by pulsed electric field ionization. Effects of amplitude modulation of the electric fields of the beam splitter were shown to cause particle losses through transitions into unconfined Rydberg-Stark states.

description: Public health surveillance systems are crucial for the timely detection and response to public health threats. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the release of anthrax in the following month, there has been a heightened interest in public health surveillance. The years immediately following these attacks were met with increased awareness and funding from the federal government which has significantly strengthened the United States surveillance capabilities; however, despite these improvements, there are substantial challenges faced by today's public health surveillance systems. Problems with the current surveillance systems include: a) lack of leveraging unstructured public health data for surveillance purposes; and b) lack of information integration and the ability to leverage resources, applications or other surveillance efforts due to systems being built on a centralized model. This research addresses these problems by focusing on the development and evaluation of new informatics methods to improve the public health surveillance. To address the problems above, we first identified a current public surveillance workflow which is affected by the problems described and has the opportunity for enhancement through current informatics techniques. The 122 Mortality Surveillance for Pneumonia and Influenza was chosen as the primary use case for this dissertation work. The second step involved demonstrating the feasibility of using unstructured public health data, in this case death certificates. For this we created and evaluated a pipeline iv composed of a detection rule and natural language processor, for the coding of death certificates and the identification of pneumonia and influenza cases. The second problem was addressed by presenting the rationale of creating a federated model by leveraging grid technology concepts and tools for the sharing and epidemiological analyses of public health data. As a case study of this approach, a secured virtual organization was created where users are able to access two grid data services, using death certificates from the Utah Department of Health, and two analytical grid services, MetaMap and R. A scientific workflow was created using the published services to replicate the mortality surveillance workflow. To validate these approaches, and provide proofs-of-concepts, a series of real-world scenarios were conducted.

description: Learning from class-imbalanced data continues to be a common and challenging problem in supervised learning as standard classification algorithms are designed to handle balanced class distributions. While different strategies exist to tackle this problem, methods which generate artificial data to achieve a balanced class distribution are more versatile than modifications to the classification algorithm. Such techniques, called oversamplers, modify the training data, allowing any classifier to be used with class-imbalanced datasets. Many algorithms have been proposed for this task, but most are complex and tend to generate unnecessary noise. This work presents a simple and effective oversampling method based on k-means clustering and SMOTE oversampling, which avoids the generation of noise and effectively overcomes imbalances between and within classes. Empirical results of extensive experiments with 71 datasets show that training data oversampled with the proposed method improves classification results. Moreover, k-means SMOTE consistently outperforms other popular oversampling methods. An implementation is made available in the python programming language.

description: A body in Solar orbit beyond the Kuiper belt exhibits an annual parallax that exceeds its apparent proper motion by up to many orders of magnitude. Apparent motion of this body along the parallactic ellipse will deflect the angular position of background stars due to astrometric microlensing ("induced parallax"). By synoptically sampling the astrometric position of background stars over the entire sky, constraints on the existence (and basic properties) of a massive nearby body may be inferred. With a simple simulation, we estimate the signal-to-noise for detecting such a body -- as function of mass, heliocentric distance, and ecliptic latitude -- using the anticipated sensitivity and temporal cadences from Gaia (launch 2011). A Jupiter-mass (M_Jup) object at 2000 AU is detectable by Gaia over the whole sky above 5-sigma, with even stronger constraints if it lies near the ecliptic plane. Hypotheses for the mass (~3M_Jup), distance (~20,000 AU) and location of the proposed perturber ("Planet X") which gives rise to long-period comets may be testable.

description: Fuzzy rough set theory can be used as a tool for dealing with inconsistent data when there is a gradual notion of indiscernibility between objects. It does this by providing lower and upper approximations of concepts. In classical fuzzy rough sets, the lower and upper approximations are determined using the minimum and maximum operators, respectively. This is undesirable for machine learning applications, since it makes these approximations sensitive to outlying samples. To mitigate this problem, ordered weighted average (OWA) based fuzzy rough sets were introduced. In this paper, we show how the OWA-based approach can be interpreted intuitively in terms of vague quantification, and then generalize it to Choquet-based fuzzy rough sets (CFRS). This generalization maintains desirable theoretical properties, such as duality and monotonicity. Furthermore, it provides more flexibility for machine learning applications. In particular, we show that it enables the seamless integration of outlier detection algorithms, to enhance the robustness of machine learning algorithms based on fuzzy rough sets.
Development of a Biomimetic Double Network Hydrogel with a Dual Mechanism for Increased Toughness and Sustained Tobramycin Elution Inspired by the Underwater Caddisfly Silk

description: Phosphate-metal complex formation is a naturally occurring toughening mechanism in underwater materials and has been incorporated into the synthetic hydrogel material discussed in this dissertation. Polyphosphate hydrogels were loaded with Ca2+ which crosslinks OPO3 groups in the hydrogel which increase the initial modulus from 0.04 to 10.3 MPa and rupture at a critical force to dissipate strain energy and act as a sacrificial network to preserve the integrity of the hydrogel. Phosphate metal crosslinks are electrostatic domains that are easily recoverable, which adds to the durability and usefulness of the hydrogels. This toughening mechanism was borrowed from the underwater caddisfly larvae, which spin a tough, adhesive silk fiber to manufacture protective mobile cases from sticks, rocks and other advantageously gathered materials. The caddisfly silk also uses serial domains of phosphates crosslinked with Ca2+ to increase modulus and produce strain induced yield, energy dissipation, and recoverability. In addition to metal ions, positively charged aminoglycoside antibiotics such as tobramycin can also be used as crosslinking agents. Due to electrostatically delayed diffusion, tobramycin is gradually released and exchanged with metal ions in biologically relevant Ca2+ and Mg2+ containing solutions. In the polyphosphate hydrogel system, tobramycin was included with and without the presence of Ca2+ to form a hydrogel with the capability to sustain tobramycin release for up to 70 days and totally eradicate pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms within 48 hours. In the case of hydrogels loaded with Ca2+ and tobramycin, the hydrogels retained their toughness, and durability and thus may be used as structural materials in total joint replacement to reduce incidence of infection. Complex coacervation is an alternative to the polyphosphate-tobramycin hydrogel system and occurs as a phase separation where a dense coacervate of polyphosphate and tobramycin is formed. The formation of clear, fluid coacervate phase is dependent on salt concentration and is maximized at ~1M NaCl. Polyphosphate-tobramycin coacervates have a sustained release assay for up to 60 days. Additionally, the coacervate can be resuspended into micro droplets by vortex and subsequently aerosolized for pulmonary delivery of tobramycin. Aerosolized coacervate is ideal for treating chronic pulmonary infection in cystic fibrosis. It could not only improve rates of pseudomonas aeruginosa infection but also reduce the number of required doses and thus improve patient compliance.

description: Online harassment is a major societal challenge that impacts multiple communities. Some members of community, like female journalists and activists, bear significantly higher impacts since their profession requires easy accessibility, transparency about their identity, and involves highlighting stories of injustice. Through a multi-phased qualitative research study involving a focus group and interviews with 27 female journalists and activists, we mapped the journey of a target who goes through harassment. We introduce PMCR framework, as a way to focus on needs for Prevention, Monitoring, Crisis and Recovery. We focused on Crisis and Recovery, and designed a tool to satisfy a target's needs related to documenting evidence of harassment during the crisis and creating reports that could be shared with support networks for recovery. Finally, we discuss users' feedback to this tool, highlighting needs for targets as they face the burden and offer recommendations to future designers and scholars on how to develop tools that can help targets manage their harassment.
