description: Determining the AGN content in structures of different mass/velocity dispersion and comparing them to higher mass/lower redshift analogs is important to understand how the AGN formation process is related to environmental properties. We use our well-tested cluster finding algorithm to identify structures in the GOODS North and South fields, exploiting the available spectroscopic redshifts and accurate photometric redshifts. We identify 9 structures in GOODS-south (presented in a previous paper) and 8 new structures in GOODS-north. We only consider structures where at least 2/3 of the members brighter than M_R=-20 have a spectroscopic redshift. For those group members that coincide with X-ray sources in the 4 and 2 Msec Chandra source catalogs respectively, we determine if the X-ray emission originates from AGN activity or it is related to the galaxies' star-formation activity. We find that the fraction of AGN with Log L_H > 42 erg/s in galaxies with M_R < -20 is on average 6.3+-1.3%, much higher than in lower redshift groups of similar mass and more than double the fraction found in massive clusters at a similarly high redshift. We then explore the spatial distribution of AGN in the structures and find that they preferentially populate the outer regions. The colors of AGN host galaxies in structures tend to be confined to the green valley, thus avoiding the blue cloud and, partially, also the red-sequence, contrary to what happens in the field. We finally compare our results to the predictions of two sets of semi analytic models to investigate the evolution of AGN and evaluate potential triggering and fueling mechanisms. The outcome of this comparison attests the importance of galaxy encounters, not necessarily leading to mergers, as an efficient AGN triggering mechanism. (abridged)

title: SPICE-Based Heat Transport Model for Non-Intrusive Thermal Diagnostic Applications

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2001

description: Nondestructive material testing and diagnostics play an important role in reliability analysis, component wear-out testing, life-cycle estimates, and safety inspections. Of the several techniques available for nondestructive inspections, thermal analysis has been chosen to be the focus of this thesis research. An equivalence between the system of equations for the heat flow problem, and the variables of circuit theory suggests that an electrical model can be constructed to represent the actual thermal system. This electrical model is constructed based upon a finite difference discretization of the heat flow equation. Using these associations a basic one-dimensional electrical model has been constructed and linked with a circuit simulator (such as SPICE) to simulate the transient, steady state and ac heating scenarios of a sample thermal system. The basic model has been proven to accurately represent the thermal system. It has then been expanded to include temperature dependence of the conductivity parameter (with the aid of voltage controlled resistors) and multidimensional heat flow by extending the one-dimensional circuit along various directions. Finally, this SPICE-based model has been applied for thermal analysis of samples containing surface material defects such as cracks. It is shown that the model can adequately locate such cracks based upon the electro-thermal relationships between time delay and voltage (temperature) magnitudes. It would thus be a useful simulation tool in the analysis of defects and for investigating non-intrusive thermal diagnostic response.

description: The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Properties Commission is the historic preservation agency for the City Council of Charlotte and the Board of Commissioners of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The commission is empowered to recommend the designation of buildings, structures, sites, and objects as historic property. Such designation, enacted under the police power of the local governing board which exercises zoning control over the subject property, places historic landmarks under land use regulations which protect the property from insensitive alterations and from Inadvertent demolition. Moreover, the commission has the power to secure the fee simple or lesser interest (such as easements or options), and can dispose of the same properties through lease or sale with protective covenants included to ensure their preservation.

description: This paper estimates the latest trends regarding the effect of sex on driver-side or right-front passenger-side occupant fatalities in fatal crashes. The focus is on how recent model year (MY) light vehicles with advanced occupant protection technologies compare to older vehicles without these protections in terms of female fatality risk relative to males. Data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) from 1975 to 2019 is used to calculate estimates of female fatality risk relative to males using logistic regression models and the double-pair comparison method. These estimates are calculated in various groups of MY vehicles and occupant protection systems. Occupant protection systems observed are the use of seat belts, and the availability of dual air bags, pretensioners and load limiters in the vehicles. All vehicles used include occupants age 16 to 96. Occupants studied include front-row occupants (drivers and right-front (RF) passengers). The average between drivers and RF passengers is also calculated. Incremental female fatality risk estimates versus males are reduced in newer MY vehicles. Incremental relative risks for female front-row occupants (average of drivers and right-front passengers) are found to be 19.9% (± 1.3) in fatal crashes in MY 1960–1999 vehicles, and 9.4% (± 2.2) percent in MY 2000–2020 vehicles. The difference in fatality risk between females and males is further reduced when looking at MY 2010–2020 vehicles (6.3 ± 5.4%) compared to MY 1960–2009 vehicles (18.3 ± 1.2%). Incremental fatality risk estimates also decrease in vehicles with newer generations of occupant protection systems regardless of MY. When occupants are belted in vehicles with the latest generation of modern occupant protection systems (dual air bags, seat belt pretensioners and load limiters), the estimated female fatality risk relative to males (average of drivers and right-front passengers) becomes 5.8% (± 3.8), which is lower than for belted occupants in vehicles without those occupant protections. The disparity in fatality risk between males and females for the same physical impacts is reduced for later MY vehicles, as well as vehicles with more advanced occupant protection systems.

description: Quantum wires and electromagnetic waveguides possess common features since their physics is described by the same wave equation. We exploit this analogy to investigate experimentally with microwave waveguides and theoretically with the help of an effective potential approach the occurrence of bound states in sharply bent quantum wires. In particular, we compute the bound states, study the features of the transition from a bound to an unbound state caused by the variation of the bending angle and determine the critical bending angles at which such a transition takes place. The predictions are confirmed by calculations based on a conventional numerical method as well as experimental measurements of the spectra and electric field intensity distributions of electromagnetic waveguides.

description: In 2020, 17% of all crash fatalities were individuals aged 65 years or older. Crash data also revealed that for older occupants, thoracic related injuries are among the leading causes of fatality. Historically, the majority of near-side impact postmortem human subjects (PMHS) studies used a generic load wall to capture external loads that were applied to PMHS. While these data were helpful in documenting biofidelity, they did not represent a realistic response an occupant would undergo in a near-side crash. The objective of this research was to test small, elderly female PMHS in a repeatable, realistic near-side impact crash scenario to investigate current injury criteria as they relate to this vulnerable population. Ten small, elderly PMHS were subjected to a realistic near-side impact loading condition. The PMHS were targeted to be elderly females age 60+, approximately 5th percentile in height and weight, with osteopenic areal bone mineral density. Each subject was seated on a mass-production seat, equipped with a side airbag and standard three-point restraint with a pretensioner. Other boundary conditions included an intruding driver’s side door. PMHS instrumentation included strain gages on ribs 3-10 bilaterally to identify fracture timing. Two chestbands were used to measure chest deflection, one at the level of the axilla and one at the level of the xiphoid process. Injuries observed included rib fractures, particularly on the struck side, and in multiple cases a flail chest was observed. Eight of ten subjects resulted in AIS3+ thoracic injuries, despite previously tested ATDs predicting less than a 10% chance of AIS3+ injury. Subjects crossed the threshold for AIS3 injury in the range of only 1% − 9% chest compression. Additionally, mechanisms of injury varied, as some injuries were incurred by door interactions while others came during airbag interactions. This research points to two areas of concern that likely require further analysis: (1) the appropriateness of potentially oversimplified PMHS testing to establish injury thresholds and define injury criteria for complicated crash scenarios; (2) the importance of identifying the precise timing of injuries to better understand the effect of current passive restraint systems.

description: Georeferencing is an indispensable necessity regarding operating with kinematic multi-sensor systems (MSS) in various indoor and outdoor areas. Information from object space combined with various types of prior information (e.g., geometrical constraints) are beneficial especially in challenging environments where common solutions for pose estimation (e.g., global navigation satellite system or external tracking by a total station) are inapplicable, unreliable or inaccurate. Consequently, an iterated extended Kalman filter is used and a general georeferencing approach by means of recursive state estimation is introduced. This approach is open to several types of observation inputs and can deal with (non)linear systems and measurement models. The capability of using both explicit and implicit formulations of the relation between states and observations, and the consideration of (non)linear equality and inequality state constraints is a special feature. The framework presented is evaluated by an indoor kinematic MSS based on a terrestrial laser scanner. The focus here is on the impact of several different combinations of applied state constraints and the dependencies of two classes of inertial measurement units (IMU). The results presented are based on real measurement data combined with simulated IMU measurements.

description: The purpose of this study was to provide a whole-body biofidelity assessment of the Hybrid III (HIII) and THOR 50th percentile male anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) during frontal sled tests, incorporating data from kinematics, chest deflection, and test buck reaction load cells. Additionally, the accuracy of the injury risk prediction capabilities for each ATD was evaluated against injuries observed in matched postmortem human surrogate (PMHS) tests. Sled tests, designed to simulate a United States New Car Assessment Program (US-NCAP) frontal test, were conducted using the HIII, THOR, and 8 approximately 50th percentile male PMHS under 3 restraint conditions. The test buck was instrumented with load cells on the steering column, knee bolster supports, and foot supports. ATD and PMHS reaction force–time histories were quantitatively compared using the ISO/TS-18571 objective rating metric. Previously published biofidelity analyses of kinematic and chest deflection data from the same tests were combined with the reaction force analyses to perform an overall assessment of the comparative biofidelity of each ATD. Injury risk predictions from existing HIII and proposed THOR injury risk curves for the US-NCAP were compared to observed injuries. For the reaction forces, the HIII and THOR had similar levels of biofidelity on average, except for 2 locations. The HIII produced more biofidelic knee bolster support forces, and the THOR lap belt forces were more biofidelic. The comparative biofidelity of the ATDs also varied by body region. The THOR head response was more biofidelic, whereas the HIII thorax and lower extremity responses had higher biofidelity. When all body regions were pooled, the HIII was more biofidelic, but differences between ATDs were generally small. Both ATDs were able to predict the observed injuries, except for the HIII chest, HIII neck, and THOR neck, all of which underpredicted PMHS injury outcomes. This study revealed that biofidelity assessed through response time histories and accuracy of injury risk predictions do not always align. Specifically, the HIII had marginally better time history biofidelity, whereas the THOR had better injury prediction. However, not all THOR responses could be fully assessed, so more work is needed to assess the THOR in complex loading environments.

description: The effect of vacuum annealing on superconductivity is investigated in Fe(Se,Te) single crystals. It is found that superconductivity is not enhanced by annealing under high vacuum (~ 10^(-3) Pa) or by annealing in a sealed evacuated quartz tube. In a moderate vacuum atmosphere (~ 1 Pa), iron oxide layers are found to show up on sample surfaces, which would draw excess Fe out of the crystal. Thus, it is suggested that remanent oxygen effectively works to remove excess Fe from the matrix of Fe(Se,Te) crystals, resulting improvement of superconducting transition temperature. Our transport measurements suggest that the excess Fe scatters the carriers on electron- and hole-type channels in a different manner. We discuss how the mobility of two types of carriers correlate with superconductivity. Since both the electron and hole bands are important for the occurrence of superconductivity, excess Fe would suppress superconductivity mainly due to strong scattering of electrons.

Debris are any solid objects entrained within the inundating flow. The resulting loads from these objects can be the result of debris damming, where debris accumulate at the front face of a structure, or of individual debris impact, where the debris exerts an impulse load as the it rapidly impacts the structure.

description: As the number of cores in a single chip increases, a typical implementation of coherence protocol adds significant hardware and complexity overhead. Besides, the performance of CMP system depends on the data access latency, which is highly affected by coherence protocol and on-chip interconnect. In this paper, we propose PPB (Phase-Priority Based) cache coherence protocol, an optimization of modern directory coherence protocol. We take advantage of the observation that transient states occur in directory coherence protocol, resulting in some unnecessary transient states and stalling. PPB cache coherence protocol decouples a coherence transaction and introduces the idea of phase message. This phase is considered as the priority of the message. Additionally, we also add new priority-based arbitrators in on-chip network to support PPB cache coherence protocol. This mechanism in on-chip network can support effective cache access, which makes the on-chip network more efficient. Our analysis on an execution-driven full system simulator using SPLASH-2 benchmark shows that PPB cache coherence outperforms a MESI based directory, and the number of unnecessary transient states and stalling reduces up to 24%. Also it reported the speedup of 7.4%. Other advantages of this strategy are reduced delay of flits and significantly less energy consumption in on-chip network.

description: We derive the complete mixing-demixing phase-diagram relevant to a bosonic binary mixture confined in a ring trimer and modeled within the Bose-Hubbard picture. The mixing properties of the two quantum fluids, which are shown to be strongly affected by the fragmented character of the confining potential, are evaluated by means of a specific indicator imported from Statistical Thermodynamics and are shown to depend only on two effective parameters incorporating the asymmetry between the heteronuclear species. To closely match realistic experimental conditions, our study is extended also beyond the pointlike approximation of potential wells by describing the systems in terms of two coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. The resulting mean-field analysis confirms the rich scenario of mixing-demixing transitions of the mixture and also constitutes an effective springboard towards a viable experimental realization. We additionally propose an experimental realization based on a realistic optical-tweezers system and on the bosonic mixture 23 Na + 39 K, thanks to the large tunability of their intra- and inter-species scattering lengths. © 2019, The Author(s).

description: The accurate evaluation of diagonal unitary operators is often the most resource-intensive element of quantum algorithms such as real-space quantum simulation and Grover search. Efficient circuits have been demonstrated in some cases but generally require ancilla registers, which can dominate the qubit resources. In this paper, we point out a correspondence between Walsh functions and a basis for diagonal operators that gives a simple way to construct efficient circuits for diagonal unitaries without ancillas. This correspondence reduces the problem of constructing the minimal-depth circuit within a given error tolerance, for an arbitrary diagonal unitary $e^{if(\hat{x})}$ in the $|x>$ basis, to that of finding the minimal-length Walsh-series approximation to the function $f(x)$. We apply this approach to the quantum simulation of the classical Eckart barrier problem of quantum chemistry, demonstrating that high-fidelity quantum simulations can be achieved with few qubits and low depth.

description: In the last 15 years an increased number of serious damages of protective structures such as groins and revetments have been observed in maritime waterways. The analyses of these damages have shown that the current design approaches for the rubble mound layers of such structures are not sufficient to ensure sufficient stability against ship-induced wave loads. Since these approaches are determined for wind-induced waves, they do not consider the long-period ship-wave components. Within a joint research project, the design loads of ship-induced long-period waves on rubble mound structures in maritime waterways are investigated. By means of first project results, the knowledge gaps with respect to the classification and parameterization of ship waves have been identified. The project has clearly shown the need for a 3D analysis of three-dimensional, nonlinear ship-wave fields. Therefore, another research project was initiated in order to generate the scientific knowledge for the parameterization of ship-induced 3D wave fields as required for the hydraulic design of rubble mound structures in maritime waterways with a special focus on the spatial and nonlinear properties of ship waves.

description: Hearing restoration using a cochlear implant requires a surgical access to the inner ear. In order to enhance patient safety, reduce trauma, and shorten the patient's time under anaesthesia current research focusses on minimally invasive cochlear implantation surgery by drilling only a single bore hole. This demands a highly accurate surgical assistance device to guide the drill along a predetermined trajectory planned in patient's image data. In this study a recently developed surgical targeting system was evaluated for the first time in a human cadaver trial. After screwing a reference frame on a temporal bone specimen and imaging of both, a trajectory through the facial recess was planned in order to reach the middle ear. Based on this plan a patient specific surgical template including a linear guide for the surgical drill was composed utilizing bone cement. After the hardening of the bone cement the surgical template was mounted on top of the reference frame. The drilling could be performed as previously planned without harming facial nerve and chorda tympani. The deviation of the actual drill hole to the planned trajectory was 0.17 mm at the level of the facial recess. The minimal distance of the drill hole to the facial nerve was 0.59 mm. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the feasibility of performing the access to the middle ear in a minimally invasive manner using the mouldable surgical targeting system. The presented process allows the patient specific individualization of a drill guide under sterile conditions. This might facilitate its integration into clinical routine. © 2018 Thomas S. Rau et al.

description: Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) have the potential to reduce occurrences and severity of collisions with Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs). However, the nearly infinite number of possible VRU visual appearances (e.g., size, clothing, accessories) represent a technical challenge as systems need to correctly detect and identify VRUs to take adequate mitigation measures. The aim of this study was to determine, through track testing, which parameters affect systems’ capabilities in detecting pedestrians. The standardized articulated adult male pedestrian (EPTa) and seven-year-old articulated child pedestrian (EPTc) targets were used as the control group. Evaluations on the track followed the Euro NCAP AEB-VRU test protocols, and derivatives thereof. An iterative test approach was used to benchmark the detection capabilities of systems with variations in target configuration and environmental conditions against the control group (baseline condition). Over 1,000 track tests using 24 configurations and 13 vehicles (model years 2019-2021) were conducted. The environmental conditions included nighttime and snow-covered roads. Pedestrians were dressed in winter clothing and/or equipped with accessories, including a hat, jackets of different colors, backpack, umbrella, and a scooter. Other scenarios involved parked vehicles as obstructions or using multiple pedestrian targets (to simulate a parent crossing the road with child or a crowd waiting at an intersection) to challenge the vehicles with realistic urban-like scenarios. This study illustrates how the variation of parameters outside the baseline condition can affect a vehicles’ safety performance. Weather conditions and urban-like scenarios on the test track affected some systems more than others. The validity of these findings is however limited by the small vehicle sample size and number of tests performed per scenario. In Canada, vehicles are exposed to less-than-ideal road conditions and a wide range of pedestrian profiles. The vehicles tested demonstrated various levels of performance and capabilities when mitigating collisions with pedestrians. The research illustrates the safety risks associated with weather and types of VRUs.

Bilayer graphene spectral function in RPA and self-consistent GW

description: We calculate the single-particle spectral function for doped bilayer graphene in the low energy limit, described by two parabolic bands with zero band gap and long range Coulomb interaction. Calculations are done using thermal Green's functions in both the random phase approximation (RPA) and the fully self-consistent GW approximation. RPA (in line with previous studies) yields a spectral function which apart from the Landau quasiparticle peaks shows additional coherent features interpreted as plasmarons, i.e. composite electron-plasmon excitations. In GW the plasmaron becomes incoherent and peaks are replaced by much broader features. The deviation of the quasiparticle weight and mass renormalization from their non-interacting values is small which indicates that bilayer graphene is a weakly interacting system. The electron energy loss function, $Im[-ε^{-1}_q(ω)]$ shows a sharp plasmon mode in RPA which in GW approximation becomes less coherent and thus consistent with the weaker plasmaron features in the corresponding single-particle spectral function.

The Legislative Protection of Local Culture & Business in Texas

description: The growth of the Texas population, combined with the adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, have resulted in the dissolution of many historic businesses within the State of Texas’ growing cities. With an influx of direct competitors increasingly moving near businesses with large cultural significance, and an increase in the property tax rates within the cities, locally owned businesses with state and city cultural significance are at a growing disadvantage. Synchronously, the State of Texas has the largest budget surplus in its history. To remedy this growing issue, I proposed that I could prove it was possible to use the phrase “culturally significant” to legislatively define these businesses’ importance. Following this, I would write a property tax bill using that phrase to help these businesses and then discuss the likelihood of the success of that bill in the state’s legislature. Can both goals be met, and if so, what would that look like for Texas? To write this thesis, I will scour legislative texts that discuss “significance”, such as historical significance or cultural significance, to compare the concept I am trying to develop. Then, I will utilize humanities research to perform a deep dive analysis of texts regarding people’s opinions of local businesses and how local business plays a part into the history of any given culture, race, or geographical region. Lastly, I will discuss a mock legislative circumstance and draft for the purpose of the research and use of the cultural significance, and then I will provide an example of a potential bill to be filed by the Texas legislature that utilizes and protects culturally significant businesses.
