description: We examine the metallicity distribution function (MDF) and fraction of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars in a sample that includes 86 stars with [Fe/H] < -3.0, based on high-resolution, high-S/N spectroscopy, of which some 32 objects lie below [Fe/H] = -3.5. After accounting for the completeness function, the "corrected" MDF does not exhibit the sudden drop at [Fe/H] = -3.6 that was found in recent samples of dwarfs and giants from the Hamburg/ESO survey. Rather, the MDF decreases smoothly down to [Fe/H] = -4.1. Similar results are obtained from the "raw" MDF. We find the fraction of CEMP objects below [Fe/H] = -3.0 is 23 +/- 6% and 32 +/- 8% when adopting the Beers et al. and Aoki et al. CEMP definitions, respectively. The former value is in fair agreement with some previous measurements, which adopt the Beers et al. criterion.

description: We construct absolute and relative versions of Hamiltonian Floer homology algebras for strongly semi-positive compact symplectic manifolds with convex boundary, where the ring structures are given by the appropriate versions of the pair-of-pants products. We establish the absolute and relative Piunikhin-Salamon-Schwarz isomorphisms between these Floer homology algebras and the corresponding absolute and relative quantum homology algebras. As a result, the absolute and relative analogues of the spectral invariants on the group of compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms are defined.

The Biophysical Characteristics of Extracellular Vesicle Production and Transport

description: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are cell-secreted nanoparticles with broad potential to treat tissue injuries by delivering cargo to program target cells. Understanding fundamental mechanisms by which the extracellular microenvironment regulates EV production and resulting EV transport will lend a significant insight towards translating EVs as therapeutics. To this end, we show that MSCs produce significantly more EVs on softer substrates due to less integrin activation. MSCs produce EVs more rapidly if adhesion time on substrates is limited to a briefer period. Substrate mechanical properties direct EV number per cell without altering EV size, morphology, therapeutic content, or therapeutic efficacy against a murine model of acute lung injury. Mechanistically, intracellular CD63+ multivesicular bodies (MVBs) transport faster within MSCs on softer hydrogels with less adhesion time, leading to an increased frequency of MVB fusion with the plasma membrane to secrete more exosomes. Furthermore, we show that EVs transport through matrix environments despite being larger than the average nanoporous mesh. Water permeation through aquaporin-1 on the surface of EVs mediates their deformability, allowing navigation through the dense matrix. Matrix stress relaxation further facilitates EVs to overcome confinement, and matrix stiffness leads to a fluctuating transport motion. The combination of water permeation, matrix stress relaxation and matrix stiffness results in a greatly enhanced EV transport through matrix. In sum, this thesis elucidates the regulation by the biophysical environment of MSC-EV production and transport and presents novel approaches to understand fundamental mechanisms of EV-matrix interactions and informs potential strategies to improve translation of EVs as promising therapeutics.

description: Worüber wir reden, wenn wir von Figuren reden, ist eine komplexe Fragestellung, die unterschiedliche Disziplinen berührt. Mit Erich Auerbachs figura/Mimesis-Projekt wurde die interdiszplinäre Forschung dieses Begriffs initiiert. Ob Literatur-, Bild- oder Wissensgeschichte – die Präsenz und Aktualität von figura in der romanistischen und komparatistischen Forschung bezeugt ein anhaltendes Interesse an der Theoriearbeit zwischen Theologie, Philosophie, Literatur- und Kunstwissenschaft. Allerdings fehlt bislang eine grundlegende methodologische Reflexion, die die interdisziplinären Aspekte gleichrangig berücksichtigt und zu einer gemeinsamen Arbeit am Begriff vereinigt. Dieses Versäumnis zu beheben, ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Arbeit. Ausgehend von Erich Auerbach, Walter Benjamin und Hannah Arendt verfolgt die Monographie in vergleichenden Konstellationen von der Antike bis in die Moderne die literatur- und kunsthistorischen, theologischen und philosophischen Spuren von figura, die zu einer Methode der literaturphilosophischen Figuralogie ausgebaut werden. Ecce figura versteht sich als ein Kompendium interdisziplinärer Begriffsgeschichte zwischen Literatur, Philosophie und Theologie, das dazu einlädt, in neuen Konstellationen gelesen und erweitert zu werden.

description: This study was conducted in two stages. In the first, biohydrogen production was evaluated in batch reactors and in the second, a continuous upflow packed-bed reactor was employed. In the first stage the inoculum derived from the dairy industry (kefir) presented, respectively, 24.692 mL and 0.067 mL h-1 as the highest hydrogen production potential (P) and hydrogen production rate (Rm) compared to the heat-treated methanogenic sludge and a previous hydrogen producing sludge cultivated in sucrose-based medium. The glycerol concentration of 30 g L-1 COD yielded 482.892 mL H2, that was the highest among the concentrations of 5, 10 and 15 g L-1 COD. However, in this glycerol concentration a decrease in hydrogen production rate was noticed. In the second stage of this work, the upflow anaerobic packed-bed reactor continuously produced an average 51.6 mL H2 d-1. In the 21st day of operation, biogas production had a significant decrease possibly caused by a metabolic shift that irreversibly stopped hydrogen production.

description: We consider logarithmic extensions of the correlation and response functions of scalar operators for the systems with aging as well as Schrödinger symmetry. Aging is known to be the simplest nonequilibrium phenomena, and its physical significances can be understood by the two-time correlation and response functions. Their logarithmic part is completely fixed by the bulk geometry in terms of the conformal weight of the dual operator and the dual particle number. Motivated by recent experimental realizations of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class in growth phenomena and its subsequent theoretical extension to aging, we investigate our two-time correlation functions out of equilibrium, which show several qualitatively different behaviors depending on the parameters in our theory. They exhibit either growing or aging, i.e. power-law decaying, behaviors for the entire range of our scaling time. Surprisingly, for some parameter ranges, they exhibit growing at early times as well as aging at later times.

description:
This thesis examines archival and records management institutions' organizational culture, as well as the impact that organizational culture has on supporting the success and goals of the institution. Most archival organizations are comprised of a limited number of staff, along with very limited funding. The intent of this research thesis is to explore and identify the essential components of leadership and teambuilding that are most effective in the unique setting and structure of archival and records management institutions. In order to identify the essential components that correlate with the overall success of the archival and records management institution, a survey was distributed over the Society of American Archivist's listserv. The survey was utilized to establish organizational demographics and quantifiable identifiers that correlated with overall institutional success. In order to measure more subjective areas, such as leadership and teambuilding, the participants were asked to evaluate and appraise the presence, or effectiveness, of leadership and teambuilding factors. These factors include: collaboration, goal-setting, management style etc. Finally, to provide a quantification of overall institutional success, I asked participants to classify and appraise the overall success of their institution. The final section of this thesis summarizes the results of the survey. In summary, the components that correlate most with the overall institutional success are: leadership from the middle, participative management style, work team collaboration, and goal setting.
title:  D-Vine Copula Model For Dependent Binary Data
Creators: name: Lin, Huihui

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: High-dimensional dependent binary data are prevalent in a wide range of scientific disciplines. A popular method for analyzing such data is the Multivariate Probit (MP) model. But the MP model sometimes fails even within a feasible range of binary correlations, because the underlying correlation matrix of the latent variables may not be positive definite. In this research, we proposed pair copula models, assuming the dependence between the binary variables is first order autoregressive (AR(1))or equicorrelated structure. Also, when Archimediean copula is used, most paper converted Kendall Tau to corresponding copula parameter, there is no explicit function of Pearson’s correlation coefficient with copula parameter. Therefore, we obtain the relationship between binary variable coefficient with copula parameter in the study as well. The outline of this poster presentation is as follows: we start with the definition of the copula and pictorially illustrate the relation between the copula parameter and the binary correlation. We illustrate pair copula constructions of multivariate binary distributions using D-vines and C-vines. We show the application of our method on a real life data. Finally, we briefly discuss our ongoing research.
125 GeV Higgs Boson, Enhanced Di-photon Rate, and Gauged U(1)_PQ-Extended MSSM

description: The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have announced discovery of a ~125 GeV Higgs boson, after a combined analysis of the di-photon and ZZ search channels. This observation has significant impact on low-energy supersymmetry. First, some fine-tuning is necessary to accommodate such a Higgs mass in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) because the tree-level mass of the SM-like Higgs boson in the MSSM is relatively small. We study the possibility of lifting the mass of the SM-like Higgs boson by non-decoupling D-term from an additional U(1) gauge symmetry. In particular, we focus on a gauged Peccei-Quinn symmetry which can also be related to a possible solution of the mu problem in the MSSM. In addition to the measurement of the mass of the Higgs, the data also reveals a tantalizing hint of a significantly enhanced di-photon signal rate, 1.56 pm 0.43 and 1.9 pm 0.5 times of the SM prediction in the CMS and ATLAS experiments, respectively. We demonstrate that such an enhancement can be accommodated in this MSSM extension. Anomaly cancellation requires the introduction of charged exotics. If some of them happen to be light and have sizable coupling to the SM-like Higgs boson, the di-photon signal rate can be enhanced significantly. EW precision measurements provide stringent constraints on this model. Taking these into account, we identify two benchmark scenarios. We argue that they are representative of large classes of viable models beyond our current example which can consistently enhance the Higgs to di-photon rate. We also comment on possible signals of such light exotics at the LHC.

description: In the theory of quantum spin liquids, gauge fluctuations are emergent excitations at low energy. The gauge magnetic field is proportional to the scalar spin chirality, S1.(S2xS3). It is therefore highly desirable to measure the fluctuation spectrum of the scalar spin chirality. We show that in the Kagome lattice with a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya term, the fluctuation in Sz which is readily measured by neutron scattering contains a piece which is proportional to the chirality fluctuation.

Polymer Composite Electrolytes and Their Interfacial Engineering for Lithium Batteries

description: Although solid-state materials are growing attention for their application in energy storage devices, poor electrochemical properties including low ionic conductivity, high interfacial resistance, limited transference number and low cycle life are among major challenges to commercialize such electrochemical systems. Owing to compelling physicochemical and structural properties, in recent years two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as promising candidates to address the challenges in lithium-based batteries (LIBs). A comprehensive overview of the role and potentials of 2D materials to overcome the slow kinetics and limited electrochemical properties of the Li batteries is discussed. Part of this research was focused in utilizing phosphorene 2D material as an electrolyte additive and understanding the Li+ ion conduction mechanism in this composite electrolyte. Here, we report a novel quasi-solid Li+ ion conductive nanocomposite polymer electrolyte containing black phosphorous (BP) nanosheets. The developed electrolyte was successfully cycled against Li metal (over 550 h cycling) at 1 mA.cm-2 at room temperature. The cycling overpotential dropped by 75% in comparison to BP-free polymer composite electrolyte indicating lower interfacial resistance at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces. This study revealed that the coordination number of Li+ ions around TFSI- pairs and ethylene oxide (EO) chains decreases at the Li metal/electrolyte interface, which facilitates the Li+ transport through the polymer host. In addition, interfacial engineered electrode/electrolyte design was introduced to address slow Li+ ion transport an undesired degradation reaction at the electrode/self-standing polymer electrolyte interfaces. This work represents an in-situ UV crosslinked integrated network of electrolyte and active electrode materials with controlled interfacial resistance and voltage polarizations. This method was shown to provide a uniform morphology of composite polymer electrolyte with a low thickness of 20-40 um. The interfacial engineered self-standing polymer batteries decreased the interfacial resistance as high as seven folds compared to conventional self-standing polymer batteries. This modification has led to promising cycling results and provided 70 % capacity retention over 100 cycles at high current densities of 170 mA.g-1. This work offers novel methods to tune the bulk and interfacial ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes that may lead to a new generation of lithium polymer batteries with high ionic conduction kinetics and stable long-life cycling.

description: We study the effects of fast spatial movement of molecules on the dynamics of chemical species in a spatially heterogeneous chemical reaction network using a compartment model. The reaction networks we consider are either single- or multi-scale. When reaction dynamics is on a single-scale, fast spatial movement has a simple effect of averaging reactions over the distribution of all the species. When reaction dynamics is on multiple scales, we show that spatial movement of molecules has different effects depending on whether the movement of each type of species is faster or slower than the effective reaction dynamics on this molecular type. We obtain results for both when the system is without and with conserved quantities, which are linear combinations of species evolving only on the slower time scale.

Phys. 50 (2009), 095215, 42 pages, arXiv:0904.2291], Feigin, Hashizume, Hoshino, Shiraishi, and Yanagida constructed two families of commuting operators which contain the Macdonald operator (commutative families of the Macdonald operator). They used the Ding-Iohara-Miki algebra and the trigonometric Feigin-Odesskii algebra. In the previous paper [arXiv:1301.4912], the present author constructed the elliptic Ding-Iohara-Miki algebra and the free field realization of the elliptic Macdonald operator. In this paper, we show that by using the elliptic Ding-Iohara-Miki algebra and the elliptic Feigin-Odesskii algebra, we can construct commutative families of the elliptic Macdonald operator. In Appendix, we will show a relation between the elliptic Macdonald operator and its kernel function by the free field realization.

description: The study examines the optimum threshold effects of interest rates, inflation rates, and exchange rates in stimulating economic growth in Nigeria. The study adopts the threshold regression technique to ascertain the optimal benchmark beyond which these macroeconomic variables hurt growth. The results of interest rate-economic growth thresholds suggest targeting an average monetary policy rate of 16.5%, a prime lending rate of 20%, and a maximum lending rate of 30%. The results of inflation-economic growth thresholds suggest targeting a headline inflation rate of 9%, while core inflation of 8.7% and food inflation of 12.7% are all growth-enhancing for Nigeria. Lastly, the results of exchange rate-economic growth thresholds suggest that targeting a quarterly depreciation of not more than 2.4% for the official exchange rate and a quarterly depreciation of not more than 2.5% for the unofficial exchange rate are growth-enhancing for Nigeria. The results offer policymakers valuable insights, emphasising the significance of exchange rate management, interest rate management, and inflation rate management in promoting growth and emphasising the necessity of reforms to diversify exports, strengthen institutions, and improve the efficacy of monetary policy. Therefore, the study suggests that the Nigerian government should target the obtainable thresholds for growth to become sustainable. The study examines the optimum threshold effects of interest, inflation, and exchange rates in stimulating economic growth in Nigeria. The main aims of the paper are to establish the benchmark beyond which exchange rate depreciation becomes inimical to growth, to establish the benchmark beyond which interest rate hurts economic growth, and to establish the optimum benchmark beyond which inflation inhibits growth in Nigeria. For a more robust study, the study tested these macroeconomic variables across the official and unofficial exchange rates, the two broad classes of inflation (food and core inflation), and the different savings, deposit and lending interest rates in Nigeria. The findings provide evidence of the required interest rate, inflation rate and exchange rate thresholds that would promote growth in Nigeria offering policymakers valuable insights, and underscoring the significance of exchange rate, interest rate, and inflation rate management in fostering growth and improving monetary policy efficacy.

description: We investigate the privacy amplification problem in which Eve can observe the uniform binary source through a binary erasure channel (BEC) or a binary symmetric channel (BSC). For this problem, we derive the so-called expurgation exponent of the information leaked to Eve. The exponent is derived by relating the leaked information to the error probability of the linear code that is generated by the linear hash function used in the privacy amplification, which is also interesting in its own right. The derived exponent is larger than state-of-the-art exponent recently derived by Hayashi at low rate.

Crocidura dsinezumi

description: Crocidura dsinezumi (Temminck, 1843). In Siebold, Fauna Japonica, 2(Mamm.):26. TYPE LOCALITY: Japan, Kyushu. DISTRIBUTION: Japan; Quelpart Isl (Korea); possibly Taiwan. SYNONYMS: chisai, hosletti, intermedia, okinoshimae, quelpartis, umbrina. COMMENTS: The spelling of the name was clarified by Corbet (1978b); dsinezumi was placed on the Official List of Specific Names; see the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1983). Includes chisai and quelpartis, but not orii; see Corbet (1978c). Formerly included in russula; see Jameson and Jones (1977). The subspecies hosletti described by these authors from Taiwan is tentatively included in dsinezumi rather than russula on the basis of published measurements and descriptions.

description: We advance the multipoint lightcone bootstrap and compute anomalous dimensions of triple-twist operators at large spin. In contrast to the well-studied double-twist operators, triple-twist primaries are highly degenerate so that their anomalous dimension is encoded in a matrix. At large spin, the degeneracy becomes infinite and the matrix becomes an integral operator. We compute this integral operator by studying a particular non-planar crossing equation for six-point functions of scalar operators in a lightcone limit. The bootstrap analysis is based on new formulas for six-point lightcone blocks in the comb-channel. For a consistency check of our results, we compare them to perturbative computations in the epsilon expansion of $\phi^3$ and $\phi^4$ theory. In both cases, we find perfect agreement between perturbative results and bootstrap predictions. As a byproduct of our studies, we extend earlier work of Derkachov and Manashov to compute the anomalous dimension matrices of all triple-twist primaries in scalar $\phi^3$ and $\phi^4$ theory to first and second order in epsilon, respectively.

description: We analyze a class of non-simple exclusion processes and the corresponding growth models by generalizing Gaertners Cole-Hopf transformation. We identify the main non-linearity and eliminate it by imposing a gradient type condition. For hopping range at most 3, using the generalized transformation, we prove the convergence of the exclusion process toward the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. This is the first universality result concerning interacting particle systems in the context of KPZ universality class. While this class of exclusion processes are not explicitly solvable, we obtain the exact one-point limiting distribution for the step initial condition by using the previous result of Amir et al. (2011) and our convergence result.

Host-Microbiome Interactions Influence Pulmonary Disease Development

description: The human microbiome, defined as the communities of microorganisms that inhabit various bodily niches, has been considered a novel essential organ system. Prior work has identified links between colonizing organisms, innate immunity and adaptive immunity in the regulation of inflammatory processes. The lungs, previously thought to be devoid of commensal organisms, represent a novel target for microbiome research given their environmental exposure. The analyses performed in this work sought to delineate the role of host-microbiome interactions in sarcoidosis and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), two respiratory diseases with poorly defined etiologies. In sarcoidosis, deficient expression of genes associated with lymphocyte mediated immunity was associated with disease progression and loss of pulmonary function, despite increased expression of cytokine and interferon response elements. Strikingly, expression of these pathways was linked to systemic exposure of Streptococcaceae, Sphingomonadaceae, and Burkholderiaceae families. Additionally, airway exposure to Micrococcaceae was associated with increased lymphocyte counts in newly diagnosed sarcoidosis patients. In the study of BOS, an airway microbiome phenotype composed largely of gram-positive organisms promoted resilience towards BOS in lung transplant populations. This phenotype was associated with reduced airway inflammation and reduced neutrophilic infiltration of the airway. Collectively, these analyses suggest that microbial exposures influence innate and adaptive immunity in the lung, promoting or protecting against pathogenesis and disease progression.

description: We present Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) observations of the CO(2-1) emission in the z=4.05 submillimeter galaxy (SMG) GN20. These high-resolution data allow us to image the molecular gas at 1.3 kpc resolution just 1.6 Gyr after the Big Bang. The data reveal a clumpy, extended gas reservoir, 14 +/- 4 kpc in diameter, in unprecedented detail. A dynamical analysis shows that the data are consistent with a rotating disk of total dynamical mass 5.4 +/- 2.4 X 10^11 M_sun. We use this dynamical mass estimate to constrain the CO-to-H_2 mass conversion factor (alpha_CO), finding alpha_CO=1.1 +/- 0.6 M_sun (K km s^-1 pc^2)^-1. We identify five distinct molecular gas clumps in the disk of GN20 with masses a few percent of the total gas mass, brightness temperatures of 16-31K, and surface densities of >3,200-4,500 X (alpha_CO/0.8) M_sun pc^-2. Virial mass estimates indicate they could be self-gravitating, and we constrain their CO-to-H_2 mass conversion factor to be <0.2-0.7 M_sun (K km s^-1 pc^2)^-1. A multiwavelength comparison demonstrates that the molecular gas is concentrated in a region of the galaxy that is heavily obscured in the rest-frame UV/optical. We investigate the spatially-resolved gas excitation and find that the CO(6-5)/CO(2-1) ratio is constant with radius, consistent with star formation occuring over a large portion of the disk. We discuss the implications of our results in the context of different fueling scenarios for SMGs.

title: EXPANDED PREDICTIVE EQUATION FOR DC ARC-FLASH INCIDENT ENERGY IN 125V BATTERY SYSTEMS
Creators: name: Gaunce, Austin
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Arc-flash is a dangerous phenomenon that can occur during an arcing fault in an electrical system. People nearby may be subjected to extreme heat, light, pressure, and sound. Research regarding arc-flash has focused primarily on AC arc-flash due to the prevalence of AC electricity in the grid. However, the grid has begun to integrate more DC electrical sources as a result of decentralization efforts and environmental concerns. The increased proliferation of DC electrical sources demands research into DC arc-flash to assess the hazard as low-voltage DC sources have already become commonplace. Some DC arc-flash models have been produced to estimate incident energy. These models are either theoretical or semi-empirical in nature, as empirical research pertaining to DC arc-flash is scarce. The lack of empirical DC arc-flash data inspired a series of tests at American Electric Power’s (AEP’s) Dolan Technology Center (DTC) that were conducted in August 2018. These tests allowed the development of a limited empirical equation for incident energy. The research presented in this thesis is a continuation of the August 2018 DC arc-flash testing with the objective of generating an expanded incident energy equation. Furthermore, this research seeks to address the effects of some atmospheric conditions on the behavior of low-voltage DC arcs.
