title: Gesture Based Control of Semi-Autonomous Vehicles
Creators: name: Sanders, Brian
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The objective of this investigation is to explore the use of hand gestures to control semi-autonomous vehicles, such as quadcopters, using realistic, physics based simulations. This involves identifying natural gestures to control basic functions of a vehicle, such as maneuvering and onboard equipment operation, and building simulations using the Unity game engine to investigate preferred use of those gestures. In addition to creating a realistic operating experience, human factors associated with limitations on physical hand motion and information management are also considered in the simulation development process. Testing with external participants using a recreational quadcopter simulation built in Unity was conducted to assess the suitability of the simulation and preferences between a joystick approach and the gesture-based approach. Initial feedback indicated that the simulation represented the actual vehicle performance well and that the joystick is preferred over the gesture-based approach. Improvements in the gesture-based control are documented as additional features in the simulation, such as basic maneuver training and additional vehicle positioning information, are added to assist the user to better learn the gesture-based interface and implementation of active control concepts to interpret and apply vehicle forces and torques. Tests were also conducted with an actual ground vehicle to investigate if knowledge and skill from the simulated environment transfers to a real-life scenario. To assess this, an immersive virtual reality (VR) simulation was built in Unity as a training environment to learn how to control a remote control car using gestures. This was then followed by a control of the actual ground vehicle. Observations and participant feedback indicated that range of hand movement and hand positions transferred well to the actual demonstration. This illustrated that the VR simulation environment provides a suitable learning experience, and an environment from which to assess human performance; thus, also validating the observations from earlier tests. Overall results indicate that the gesture-based approach holds promise given the emergence of new technology, but additional work needs to be pursued. This includes algorithms to process gesture data to provide more stable and precise vehicle commands and training environments to familiarize users with this new interface concept.

description: We introduce and solve an infinite class of loop integrals which generalises the well-known ladder series. The integrals are described in terms of single-valued polylogarithmic functions which satisfy certain differential equations. The combination of the differential equations and single-valued behaviour allow us to explicitly construct the polylogarithms recursively. For this class of integrals the symbol may be read off from the integrand in a particularly simple way. We give an explicit formula for the simplest generalisation of the ladder series. We also relate the generalised ladder integrals to a class of vacuum diagrams which includes both the wheels and the zigzags.

description: We report on tuning the optical whispering gallery modes in a poly dimethyl siloxane-based (PDMS) microsphere resonator by more than a THz. The PDMS microsphere system consists of a solid spherical resonator directly formed with double stems on either side. The stems act like tie-rods for simple mechanical stretching of the microresonator over tens of microns, resulting in tuning of the whispering gallery modes by one free spectral range. Further investigations demonstrate that the whispering gallery mode shift has a higher sensitivity (0.13 nm/μN) to an applied force when the resonator is in its maximally stretched state compared to its relaxed state.

description: We formulate a quantum theory of electron waiting time distributions for charge transport in nano-structures described by non-Markovian generalized master equations. We illustrate our method by calculating the waiting time distribution of electron transport through a dissipative double quantum dot, where memory effects are present due to a strongly coupled heat bath. We consider the influence of non-Markovian dephasing on the distribution of electron waiting times and discuss how spectral properties of the heat bath may be detected through measurements of the electron waiting time.

description: We investigate a tunable two-impurity Kondo system in a strongly correlated carbon nanotube double quantum dot, accessing the full range of charge regimes. In the regime where both dots contain an unpaired electron, the system approaches the two-impurity Kondo model. At zero magnetic field the interdot coupling disrupts the Kondo physics and a local singlet state arises, but we are able to tune the crossover to a Kondo screened phase by application of a magnetic field. All results show good agreement with a numerical renormalization group study of the device.

ACTIVE ENDOCANNABINOIDS ARE RELEASED FROM MICROGLIA IN ASSOCIATION WITH EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES TO INHIBIT GABAERGIC TRANSMISSION
Creators: name: GABRIELLI, MARTINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: Endocannabinoids (eCBs) are bioactive lipids which primarily influence synaptic communication within the nervous system. They are synthesized by neurons but also by microglia, especially under neuroinflammatory conditions. To exert their function, eCBs travel across the intercellular space. However, how eCBs move extracellularly remains obscure. Our recent evidence indicates that reactive microglia release extracellular vesicles (EVs), which may represent an ideal vehicle for the transport of hydrophobic eCBs. Hence, in this study we investigated whether microglial EVs carry eCBs and may influence neurotransmission. First we analyzed the eCB content of EVs and found a clear enrichment of N-arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA) in EVs relative to parental microglia. This analysis revealed higher AEA levels in EVs shed from the plasma membrane (microvesicles), compared to those which originate from the endocytic compartment (exosomes). To bioassay the activity of vesicular AEA, we used patch clamp analysis of miniature inhibitory post-synaptic currents (mIPSC) on rat hippocampal primary culture. Exposure of neurons to microvesicles (MVs) induced a significant decrease in mIPSC frequency, mimicking the well-known inhibitory action of CB1 receptor agonists. The involvement of vesicular AEA in this phenomenon was inferred from the ability of the CB1 receptor antagonist SR141716A to block the reduction of mIPSC frequency evoked by MVs. Western blot analysis showed an increase in ERK phosphorylation in neurons exposed to MVs, which was completely inhibited by SR141716A. This indicate that CB1 receptors activation by AEA-storing MVs translates into downstream signaling. Finally, the use of biotin-AEA revealed an affinity of AEA for MV membrane, indicating that AEA travels in association with MVs surface. Consistent with a surface localization of AEA, MV membranes maintain their capability to decrease mIPSC frequency. Overall, this study shows that microglial MVs carry AEA on their surface to stimulate CB1 receptors on target GABAergic neurons and demonstrates that extracellular vesicular transport of eCBs play a crucial role in the modulation of inhibitory transmission.

description: We report electrical resistivity measurements on a high-quality Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ thin film ($x=0.4$) under pressure. The superconducting transition temperature (=39.95 K) of the optimally-doped thin film shows a dome shape with pressure, reaching a maximal value 40.8 K at 11.8 kbar. The unusually high superconducting transition temperature and its anomalous pressure dependence are ascribed to a lattice mismatch between the LaAlO$_3$ substrate and the thin film. The local temperature exponent of the resistivity ($n=d\text{ln}Δρ/d\text{ln}T$) shows a funnel shape around the optimal pressure, suggesting that fluctuations associated with the anomalous normal state are responsible for high-temperature superconductivity.

description: Quantum input-output response analysis is a useful method for modeling the dynamics of complex quantum networks, such as those for communication or quantum control via cascade connections. Non-Markovian effects have not yet been studied in such networks. Here we extend the Markovian input-output network formalism developed in optical systems to non-Markovian cascaded networks which can be used, e.g., to analyze the input-output response of mesoscopic quantum networks. We use this formalism to explore the behavior of superconducting qubit networks, where we examine the effect of finite cavity bandwidths. We also discuss its application to open- and closed-loop control networks, and show how these networks create effective Hamiltonians for the controlled system.

description: We consider asymmetric (nonreciprocal) wave transmission through a layered nonlinear, non mirror-symmetric system described by the one-dimensional Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger equation with spatially varying coefficients embedded in an otherwise linear lattice. Focusing on the simplest case of two nonlinear sites (the dimer), we compute exact scattering solutions such that waves with the same frequency and incident amplitude impinging from left and right directions have different transmission coefficients. The stability of some particular solutions is addressed. We show that oscillatory instability may lead to the formation of stable extended states coexisting with a nonlinear defect mode oscillating at a different frequency. Numerical simulations of wave packet scattering are presented. Gaussian wave packets with the same amplitude arriving from opposite directions on the dimer are indeed transmitted very differently. Moreover, asymmetric transmission is sensitively dependent on the input parameters, akin to the case of chaotic scattering.

description: In this work we investigate the mechanical properties of nanocrystalline Ni and Ni solid solutions made by both traditional fabrication methods (through a literature review) and by a newly developed chemical-derivation method (through experimental characterization and nanoindentaiton testing). Chapter 1 consists of a review of the current literature on nanocrystalline Ni. It focuses specifically on
how the grain size of these materials is related to hardness through the Hall-Petch relationship and at grain sizes past the Hall-Petch breakdown. Given the number of apparent deviations from the Hall-Petch relationship found in the literature, in Chapter 2 we consider factors other than grain size which can impact hardness, including additives, annealing, and texture. Chapter 3 provides a description of
our own experimental methods and results, including sample fabrication, grain size measurement, and nanoindentation. The hardness and reduced modulus of our nanocrystalline Ni samples are calculated to be 56 MPa and 1.76 GPa, respectively. These values are very low compared to what is described in the literature. Chapter 4 presents models for the hardness and Young’s modulus of nanocrystalline materials as functions of porosity, impurity content, and other factors which might cause anomalously low values. However, we find that these models are unable to account for the values we have observed. Chapter 5 includes a discussion of future work which should be done in order to better understand the deformation occurring in chemically-derived nanocrystalline Ni and how it differs from what is described in the literature.

description: Alternative splicing (AS) is a key component of gene expression programs that drive cellular differentiation. Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are important in the function of a number of physiological systems; however, investigation of SMC AS has been restricted to a handful of events. We profiled transcriptome changes in mouse de-differentiating SMCs and observed changes in hundreds of AS events. Exons included in differentiated cells were characterized by particularly weak splice sites and by upstream binding sites for Polypyrimidine Tract Binding protein (PTBP1). Consistent with this, knockdown experiments showed that that PTBP1 represses many smooth muscle specific exons. We also observed coordinated splicing changes predicted to downregulate the expression of core components of U1 and U2 snRNPs, splicing regulators and other post-transcriptional factors in differentiated cells. The levels of cognate proteins were lower or similar in differentiated compared to undifferentiated cells. However, levels of snRNAs did not follow the expression of splicing proteins, and in the case of U1 snRNP we saw reciprocal changes in the levels of U1 snRNA and U1 snRNP proteins. Our results suggest that the AS program in differentiated SMCs is orchestrated by the combined influence of auxiliary RNA binding proteins, such as PTBP1, along with altered activity and stoichiometry of the core splicing machinery.

title: "In-Betweening" Disney: An Animated History of Hollywood Labor and Ideological Imagineering, 1935-1947
Creators: name: Moore, Bradley Edward
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The Walt Disney Company’s meticulously-crafted corporate mythos, as it developed in the mid-twentieth century, hid a conflicted history of anti-New Deal, nationalist ideology that was popularized during the clashes of the Hollywood labor movement in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1935, the National Labor Relations Act was passed as Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) entered full-scale production, and each were central to the labor-management conflict that lurked behind the scenes of the motion picture industry. By the mid-1940s, following the conclusion of the Second World War, Congress passed the Labor Management Relations (Taft-Hartley) Act and imposed a series of restrictions on U.S. labor organizations, including those in Hollywood. Compounding matters further, Hollywood’s elite and the federal government alleged that the specter of Communism had infiltrated major motion picture studios. In 1947, Walt Disney, among several others in the film industry, placed their fears on record before the House Un-American Activities Committee.

The biographies of men like Walt Disney have continued to dominate historical discussions related to U.S. industry and cultural production respectively. To date, however, there has been a peculiar disinterest in the artists and laborers who toiled behind the scenes of the U.S. film making industry. This inattention to those artists has created noticeable gaps in the historiography of U.S. labor, more generally. In an effort to elevate the voices of Hollywood’s working class, this project places various primary sources, including organizational records, artwork, and oral history interviews in conversation with corporate and government sources. This thesis deconstructs the myth making carried out by the Walt Disney Company, and places the animation studio’s history at the intersection of U.S. labor organization and the proliferation of anti-New Deal ideology. This study argues that Walt Disney’s status as successful Hollywood industrialist, asset of the federal government, and rabid anti-New Dealer fueled his campaign to demonize the organizational efforts of his artists and depict their assertions of federally-guaranteed labor rights as the subversive actions of cartoonish villains.
Micro-drinking behaviours and consumption of wine in different wine glass sizes: a laboratory study

description: $\textbf{Background:}$ Tableware size may influence how much food and non-alcoholic drink is consumed. Preliminary evidence of the impact of glass size on purchasing of alcoholic drinks shows an increase in wine sales of almost 10% when the same portion of wine is served in a larger glass. The primary aim of the current study is to test if micro-drinking behaviours act as a mechanism that could underlie this effect, through an increase in drinking rate, sip duration and/or number of sips from a larger glass. $\textbf{Methods:}$ In a between-subjects experimental design, 166 young women were randomised to drink a 175 ml portion of wine from either a smaller (250 ml) or larger (370 ml) wine glass. Primary outcomes were three micro-drinking behaviours, assessed observationally using video recordings: drinking rate, sip number and sip duration. Other possible mechanisms examined were satisfaction with the perceived amount of wine served and pleasure of the drinking experience, assessed using self-report measures. $\textbf{Results:}$ Wine drunk from the larger, compared with the smaller glass, was consumed more slowly and with shorter sip duration, counter to the hypothesised direction of effect. No differences were observed in any of the other outcome measures. $\textbf{Conclusions:}$ These findings provide no support for the hypothesised mechanisms by which serving wine in larger wine glasses increases consumption. While micro-drinking behaviours may still prove to be a mechanism explaining consumption from different glass sizes, cross-validation of these results in a more naturalistic setting is needed.

Spectral Investigations of the nature of the Sco X-1 like sources

description: We present results of spectral investigations of the Sco X-1 like Z-track sources Sco X-1, GX 349+2 and GX 17+2 based on Rossi-XTE observations using an extended accretion disk corona model. The results are compared with previous results for the Cyg X-2 like group: Cyg X-2, GX 340+0 and GX 5-1 and a general model for the Z-track sources proposed. On the normal branch, the Sco-like and Cyg-like sources are similar, the results indicating an increase of mass accretion rate Mdot between soft and hard apex, not as in the standard view that this increases around the Z. In the Cyg-like sources, increasing Mdot causes the neutron star temperature kT to increase from ~1 to ~2 keV. At the lower kT, the radiation pressure is small, but at the higher kT, the emitted flux of the neutron star is several times super-Eddington and the high radiation pressure disrupts the inner disk launching the relativistic jets observed on the upper normal and horizontal branches. In the Sco-like sources, the main physical difference is the high kT of more than 2 keV on all parts of the Z-track suggesting that jets are always possible, even on the flaring branch. The flaring branch in the Cyg-like sources is associated with release of energy on the neutron star consistent with unstable nuclear burning. The Sco-like sources are very different as flaring appears to be a combination of unstable burning and an increase of Mdot which makes flaring much stronger. Analysis of 15 years or RXTE ASM data on all 6 classic Z-track sources shows the high rate and strength of flaring in the Sco-like sources suggesting that continual release of energy heats the neutron star causing the high kT. A Sco X-1 observation with unusually little flaring supports this. GX 17+2 appears to be transitional between the Cyg and Sco-like types. Our results do not support the suggestion that Cyg or Sco-like nature is determined by luminosity.

description: We present a first-principles investigation to show that the contact conductance of a half conductance quantum ($G_0/2$) found previously does not generally hold for single-atom magnetic junctions composed of a tip and an adatom dsorbed on a surface. The contact conductance of the Ni-Co/Co(111) junction is approximately $G_0/2$, while for the Co-Co/Co(111), Ni-Ni/Ni(111), and Ni-Ni/Ni(001) junctions the contact conductances are 0.80$G_0$, 1.55$G_0$, and 1.77$G_0$, respectively. The deviation from $G_0/2$ is mainly caused by the variation of the spin-down conductance largely determined by the minority $d$ orbitals, as the spin-up one changes little for different junctions.

description: The kinetics of water transport into tablets, and how it can be controlled by the formulation as well as the tablet microstructure, are of central importance in order to design and control the dissolution and drug release process, especially for immediate release tablets. This research employed terahertz pulsed imaging to measure the process of water penetrating through tablets using a flow cell. Tablets were prepared over a range of porosity between 10% to 20%. The formulations consist of two drugs (MK-8408: ruzasvir as a spray dried intermediate, and MK-3682: uprifosbuvir as a crystalline drug substance) and NaCl (0% to 20%) at varying levels of concentrations as well as other excipients. A power-law model is found to fit the liquid penetration exceptionally well (average R2>0.995). For each formulation, the rate of water penetration, extent of swelling and the USP dissolution rate were compared. A factorial analysis then revealed that the tablet porosity was the dominating factor for both liquid penetration and dissolution. NaCl more significantly influenced liquid penetration due to osmotic driving force as well as gelling suppression, but there appears to be little difference when NaCl loading in the formulation increases from 5% to 10%. The level of spray dried intermediate was observed to further limit the release of API in dissolution.

description: The two-dimensional free-boundary problem describing steady gravity waves with vorticity on water of finite depth is considered. It is proved that no small-amplitude waves are supported by a horizontal shear flow whose free surface is still in a coordinate frame such that the flow is time-independent in it. The class of vorticity distributions for which such flows exist includes all positive constant distributions, as well as linear and quadric ones with arbitrary positive coefficients.

Happiness By Many Means: William James's Functional Conception of Happiness (1842-1910)
Creators: name: Young, RIchard S.
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2021

description: This essay explains William James’s (1842-1910) conception of happiness. While much has been written about James's conception of emotions, surprisingly, little has been written about James's conception of happiness. The few scholars who have addressed James’s conception of happiness have either failed to provide the appropriate context or have taken too narrow of a view of the matter. This essay combines a close reading of The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902) with examples from James's personal life to demonstrate that James developed a functionalist conception of happiness. James believed that unhappiness motivates the individual to adopt new mental habits and transform themselves until they can regain their happiness. This framework permits a considerable degree of flexibility, plurality, and experimentation. Although James believed that some strategies worked better than others, he was open to the possibility that individuals could attain happiness by many means.

Isospin violation in J/Psi to phi pi0 eta decay and the f0-a0 mixing

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The isospin violating $J/Ψ\to ϕπ^0 η$ decay is thought to be dominated by the mixing of the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ scalar resonances. We make a theoretical evaluation of the $J/Ψ\to ϕπ^0 η$ decay extending our own previous model for other $J/Ψ$ decays into one vector meson and two pseudoscalars using the techniques of the chiral unitary approach. The scalar resonances are dynamically generated through the final state interaction of the pseudoscalar mesons implementing unitarity from the lowest order ChPT amplitudes. Besides the direct $J/ΨϕPP$ vertex, other mechanisms like the sequential exchange of vector and axial-vector mesons are shown to be important in order to obtain the actual strength of the mixing. We get a very good agreement with the $π^0 η$ invariant mass distribution and branching ratio with recent BESIII data. Quantification of the $f_0(980)-a_0(980)$ mixing is done and compared with results from several experiments.
