A Study of the Safe Yield and Replenishment Conditions for the Yucaipa Basin Area, California

subject: groundwater

description: A ground water inventory made for a basin area of about
51 square miles and situated 6 miles southeast from Redlands, California,
disclosed that a mean annual recharge of 4322.5 acre-feet from
rainfall on foothill and mountain areas plus a mean annual deep penetration
volume of 1693 acre-feet from water artificially applied (irrigation
and domestic uses) are exceeded by local consumptive uses plus exportation
losses. Detailed studies showed that no appreciable contribution from
rainfall in irrigated and non-irrigated valley lands occurs to the
sub-surface ground water body.

Elimination of the net basin drawdown loss caused by
exportation will still put the overdraft within the order of 3000
acre-feet per year. An inevitable increase of land cultivation brings
about no chance to mitigate that figure in the near future.

Increasing volumes of water extraction are shown by a mean
annual drop in water level of wells, from 1.67 feet for the period
1927-1942 to 7.5 feet for the period 1942-1954.

An estimated specific yield of 0.1085 for the ground water
reservoir places the time-life of Yucaipa basin within 35 years,
assuming the existence of a 250 feet thick aquifer under the 400 feet
deepest wells.

A depth of 650-750 feet in water wells is arbitrarily
established as a limit for the economic and profitable exploitation
of the basin.

A conservative figure of 5000 acre-feet plus minus 1000
acre-feet safe yield is based on the mean annual recharge to valley
lands from foothill and mountain areas. This quantity is likely to be
increased by additional yields from the aquifer, upon rebounding and
expansion.

The low porosity value and its close specific yield (0.12 and
0.1085 respectively) associated with a rather low specific retention
value, seem to indicate that the hydrological properties of the
Yucaipa aquifers reflect the existence of a type of rock near to a
sandy gravel, with locally abundant interstitial materials.
Plio-Pleistocene(?) San Timoteo bed can well appear in Yucaipa basin
at aquifer depths. Younger Quaternary fanglomerates, stream gravels,
weathered soils and modern alluvium occur widely distributed in the
surface area of Yucaipa. These sediments are bordered to the north,
east, and southeast by hills and mountains of basement complex rocks
which are probably pre-Cambrian, but most certainly pre-Cretaceous in
age.

description: We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobas property for numerical radius within the framework of C(K) spaces. We present several sufficient conditions on a compact space K ensuring that C(K) has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobas property for numerical radius. In particular, we show that C(K) has such property whenever K is metrizable.
Renewal processes based on generalized Mittag--Leffler waiting times

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: The fractional Poisson process has recently attracted experts from several fields of study. Its natural generalization of the ordinary Poisson process made the model more appealing for real-world applications. In this paper, we generalized the standard and fractional Poisson processes through the waiting time distribution, and showed their relations to an integral operator with a generalized Mittag--Leffler function in the kernel. The waiting times of the proposed renewal processes have the generalized Mittag--Leffler and stretched-squashed Mittag--Leffler distributions. Note that the generalizations naturally provide greater flexibility in modeling real-life renewal processes. Algorithms to simulate sample paths and to estimate the model parameters are derived. Note also that these procedures are necessary to make these models more usable in practice. State probabilities and other qualitative or quantitative features of the models are also discussed.

description: We study the connection between polymers at the theta temperature on the lattice and Schramm-Loewner chains with constant step length in the continuum. The latter realize a useful algorithm for the exact sampling of tricritical polymers, where finite-chain effects are excluded. The driving function computed from the lattice model via a radial implementation of the zipper method is shown to converge to Brownian motion of diffusivity kappa=6 for large times. The distribution function of an internal portion of walk is well approximated by that obtained from Schramm-Loewner chains. The exponent of the correlation length nu and the leading correction-to scaling exponent Delta_1 measured in the continuum are compatible with nu=4/7 (predicted for the theta point) and Delta_1=72/91 (predicted for percolation). Finally, we compute the shape factor and the asphericity of the chains, finding surprising accord with the theta-point end-to-end values.

description: The acid denaturation of calf thymus deoxyribosenucleic acid (DNA) has been studied both by PH and
spectrophotometric titration in the temperature range
10 - 30°C and at ionic strengths 0.1 F and 0.5 F. The
number of hydrogen ions bound by the DNA at any given
pH increased with increasing temperature and decreased
with increasing ionic strength.  The number bound at
any given pH was greater after denaturation. A model
for acid denaturation is proposed.  The site of protonation of cytosine is discussed.

description: We assume some standard choices for the branch cuts of a group of functions and consider the problem of then calculating the branch cuts of expressions involving those functions. Typical examples include the addition formulae for inverse trigonometric functions. Understanding these cuts is essential for working with the single-valued counterparts, the common approach to encoding multi-valued functions in computer algebra systems. While the defining choices are usually simple (typically portions of either the real or imaginary axes) the cuts induced by the expression may be surprisingly complicated. We have made explicit and implemented techniques for calculating the cuts in the computer algebra programme Maple. We discuss the issues raised, classifying the different cuts produced. The techniques have been gathered in the BranchCuts package, along with tools for visualising the cuts. The package is included in Maple 17 as part of the FunctionAdvisor tool.

The role of phonology and semantics in orthographic learning in Chinese: The lexical and sublexical components
Creators: name: Li, Luan
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Skilled reading requires a large store of well-specified orthographic representations of individual words. Understanding how these orthographic representations are acquired, that is, orthographic learning (Nation & Castles, 2017), will therefore improve our understanding of the development of a skilled reading system. This thesis examines orthographic learning in a non-alphabetic language - Chinese - within the framework of the self-teaching hypothesis (Share, 1995). Written Chinese can be connected to both phonology and semantics sublexically, representing a particularly interesting case to study how orthographic learning takes place. This thesis reports five studies, exploring the roles of phonological decoding, semantic decoding and vocabulary knowledge in the process of orthographic learning in Chinese. Chapter 1 tests the self-teaching hypothesis and the effect of phonological decoding via the sublexical phonetic radical on orthographic learning of Chinese characters in Grade 2 children. Chapter 2 examines the role of semantic decoding via the sublexical semantic radical in reading and orthographic learning in adults. Chapter 3 investigates the interaction between phonological decoding and semantic decoding in orthographic learning in Grade 4 children. Chapter 4 explores how vocabulary knowledge affects the orthographic learning of phonetically regular and irregular characters in Grades 2 and 4 children. Finally, Chapter 5 investigates the separate influences of lexical phonological and semantic knowledge on reading and orthographic learning of novel characters in adults. The main findings of this thesis are: phonological decoding supports orthographic learning of novel characters through self-teaching; semantic decoding has limited influence on orthographic learning but assists the learning of the connections between orthography and semantics; the presence of lexical vocabulary knowledge enhances orthographic learning and this benefit is not modulated by sublexical phonological decoding. These findings provide support for phonological decoding as a self-teaching mechanism in Chinese and further suggest that phonological decoding and both the phonological and semantic components of the vocabulary knowledge play unique roles in orthographic learning in Chinese.

description: We report the nonperturbative behavior of the twisted Polyakov loop (TPL) coupling constant for the SU(3) gauge theories defined by the ratio of Polyakov loop correlators in finite volume with twisted boundary condition. We reveal the vacuum structures and the phase structure for the lattice gauge theory with the twisted boundary condition. Carrying out the numerical simulations, we determine the nonperturbative running coupling constant in this renormalization scheme for the quenched QCD and Nf=12 SU(3) gauge theories. At first, we study the quenched QCD theory using the plaquette gauge action. The TPL coupling constant has a fake fixed point in the confinement phase. We discuss this fake fixed point of the TPL scheme and obtain the nonperturbative running coupling constant in the deconfinement phase, where the magnitude of the Polyakov loop shows the nonzero values. We also investigate the system coupled to fundamental fermions. Since we use the naive staggered fermion with the twisted boundary condition in our simulation, only multiples of 12 are allowed for the number of flavors. According to the perturbative two loop analysis, the Nf=12 SU(3) gauge theory might have a conformal fixed point in the infrared region. However, the recent lattice studies show controversial results for the existence of the fixed point. We point out possible problems in previous works, and present our careful study. Finally, we find the infrared fixed point (IRFP) and discuss the robustness of the nontrivial IRFP of many flavor system under the change of the analysis method. A part of preliminary results was reported in the proceedings [1, 2] and the letter paper [3]. In this paper we include a review of these results and give a final conclusion for the existence of IRFP of SU(3) Nf = 12 massless theory using the updated data.

Effects of the rotating wave and secular approximations on non-Markovianity

description: We study the effect of the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) and the secular approximation (SA) on the non-Markovian behavior in the spin-boson model at zero-temperature. We find that both the RWA and SA lead to a dramatic reduction in the observed non-Markovianity. In general, non-Markovian dynamics is observed for the whole relaxation time of the system, whereas the RWA and SA lead to such dynamics only on the short time scale of the environmental correlation time. Thus, the RWA and SA are not necessarily justified in the studies of non-Markovianity although they can estimate the state of the system precisely. Furthermore, we derive an accurate analytical expression for the non-Markovianity measure without the RWA or SA. This expression yields important insight into the physics of the problem.

SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE, NEGATIVE MOOD REGULATION EXPECTANCIES, AND EMOTIONAL OUTCOMES

Subjects: depression

description: Using social media has been linked to negative emotional outcomes. Yet not all studies find that social media damages users’ mental health. It is possible that a moderating variable that interacts with social media usage may influence negative emotional outcomes. Negative mood regulation expectancies (NMRE), the belief a person has about their ability to cope with their negative moods, moderate relationships of stressors with negative emotional outcomes. This study examined NMRE as a potential moderator of the relationships of social media usage with depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Adults 18-29 years old (N = 459) who used social media platforms were surveyed online. After accounting for variance explained by demographic variables, simultaneous multiple regression results showed that NMRE moderated social media usage’s relationships with anxiety and loneliness, but not with depression. The moderation was greater for loneliness than for anxiety. Among the high NMRE group, those with the lowest social media usage had the least loneliness. High NMRE enhanced social media usage’s relationship with loneliness, rather than buffering the relationship. Results imply that a clinical intervention to treat highly lonely clients engaged with social media should increase their confidence about coping with negative moods. One shortcoming of this research was measuring usage with the Social Media Use Integration Scale (SMUIS). Social media research will be hampered until a universally agreed upon construct of usage is developed with a valid measure.

description: In this paper we consider the Riemann--Liouville fractional integral $\mathcal{N}^{α,ν}(t)= \frac{1}{Γ(α)} \int_0^t (t-s)^{α-1}N^ν(s) \, \mathrm ds $, where $N^ν(t)$, $t \ge 0$, is a fractional Poisson process of order $ν\in (0,1]$, and $α> 0$. We give the explicit bivariate distribution $\Pr \{N^ν(s)=k, N^ν(t)=r \}$, for $t \ge s$, $r \ge k$, the mean $\mathbb{E}\, \mathcal{N}^{α,ν}(t)$ and the variance $\mathbb{V}\text{ar}\, \mathcal{N}^{α,ν}(t)$. We study the process $\mathcal{N}^{α,1}(t)$ for which we are able to produce explicit results for the conditional and absolute variances and means. Much more involved results on $\mathcal{N}^{1,1}(t)$ are presented in the last section where also distributional properties of the integrated Poisson process (including the representation as random sums) is derived. The integral of powers of the Poisson process is examined and its connections with generalised harmonic numbers is discussed.

Определен состав институтов распределения нефтяной ренты по уровню (масштабу) их действия и степени формализации норм и правил. Выявлено, как указанные институты трансформировались за период 2000–2018 гг., в течение которого можно наблюдать проявление «голландской болезни». Показано, что под ее влиянием происходят формализация и политизация институтов распределения нефтяной ренты, усиливаются стимулы к рентоориентированному поведению.
description: The article studies the signs of the Dutch disease in the transformation of institutions for the distribution of oil rent in conditions of the northern resource-producing region. The composition of the institutions of the oil rent distribution is determined by the level (scale) of their actions and the degree of formalization of norms and rules. The transformation of institutions over 2000–2018, during which the signs of the Dutch disease can be observed, is revealed. It is proved that formalization and politicization of the institutions of the oil rent distribution occur under the influence of the Dutch disease. Incentives for rent-seeking behavior also enhance.

description: Legionella pneumophila is an opportunistic bacterial respiratory pathogen that is one of the leading causes of drinking water outbreaks in the United States. Dental offices pose a potential risk for inhalation or aspiration of L. pneumophila due to the high surface area to volume ratio of dental unit water lines—a feature that is conducive to biofilm growth. This is coupled with the use of high-pressure water devices (e.g., ultrasonic scalers) that produce fine aerosols within the breathing zone. Prior research confirms that L. pneumophila occurs in dental unit water lines, but the associated human health risks have not been assessed. We aimed to: (1) synthesize the evidence for transmission and management of Legionnaires’ disease in dental offices; (2) create a quantitative modeling framework for predicting associated L. pneumophila infection risk; and (3) highlight influential parameters and research gaps requiring further study. We reviewed outbreaks, management guidance, and exposure studies and used these data to parameterize a quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) model for L. pneumophila in dental applications. Probabilities of infection for dental hygienists and patients were assessed on a per-exposure and annual basis. We also assessed the impact of varying ventilation rates and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Following an instrument purge (i.e., flush) and with a ventilation rate of 1.2 air changes per hour, the median per-exposure probability of infection for dental hygienists and patients exceeded a 1-in-10,000 infection risk benchmark. Per-exposure risks for workers during a purge and annual risks for workers wearing N95 masks did not exceed the benchmark. Increasing air change rates in the treatment room from 1.2 to 10 would achieve an ∼85% risk reduction, while utilization of N95 respirators would reduce risks by ∼95%. The concentration of L. pneumophila in dental unit water lines was a dominant parameter in the model and driver of risk. Future risk assessment efforts and refinement of microbiological control protocols would benefit from expanded occurrence datasets for L. pneumophila in dental applications.

description: Face masks reduce the expulsion of respiratory aerosols produced during coughs and exhalations (“source control”). Factors such as the directions in which people are facing (orientation) and separation distance also affect aerosol dispersion. However, it is not clear how the combined effects of masking, orientation, and distance affect the exposure of individuals to respiratory aerosols in indoor spaces. We placed a respiratory aerosol simulator (“source”) and a breathing simulator (“recipient”) in a 3 m × 3 m chamber and measured aerosol concentrations for different combinations of masking, orientation, and separation distance. When the simulators were front-to-front during coughing, masks reduced the 15-min mean aerosol concentration at the recipient by 92% at 0.9 and 1.8 m separation. When the simulators were side-by-side, masks reduced the concentration by 81% at 0.9 m and 78% at 1.8 m. During breathing, masks reduced the aerosol concentration by 66% when front-to-front and 76% when side-by-side at 0.9 m. Similar results were seen at 1.8 m. When the simulators were unmasked, changing the orientations from front-to-front to side-by-side reduced the cough aerosol concentration by 59% at 0.9 m and 60% at 1.8 m. When both simulators were masked, changing the orientations did not significantly change the concentration at either distance during coughing or breathing. Increasing the distance between the simulators from 0.9 m to 1.8 m during coughing reduced the aerosol concentration by 25% when no masks were worn but had little effect when both simulators were masked. During breathing, when neither simulator was masked, increasing the separation reduced the concentration by 13%, which approached significance, while the change was not significant when both source and recipient were masked. Our results show that universal masking reduces exposure to respiratory aerosol particles regardless of the orientation and separation distance between the source and recipient.

description: Location: Signal Hill is located in the northern limits of the city of Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California, approximately two and a half miles north of the Pacific Ocean waterfront. It reaches an elevation of three hundred and sixty-four feet and is the highest point in a series of low-lying hills that extend from Seal Beach in Orange County, to Dominguez Hills, approximately ten miles to the northwest. Signal Hill is a portion of the Long Beach oil field.

Review of Literature: Arnold (1, pp 30-32) in his report on the marine Pleistocene at San Pedro, California, gave a brief but fairly detailed account of the Pleistocene stratigraphy and paleontology at Signal Hill. He listed a fauna of one hundred and sixty species from the “Upper San Pedro” formation (Palos Verdes sands), but he found no fossils in the underlying sands and gravels. However, Arnold considered this latter group to be equivalent to his “Lower San Pedro” formation (San Pedro sands). So far as I know this is the only published report that has a detailed account of the Pleistocene at Signal Hill.

Eaton (5, p 124) considered the Palos Verdes sands on Signal Hill as being equivalent in part to the warm-water Hall Canyon formation of Lower Pleistocene age rather Upper Pleistocene.

Grant and Gale (7, p 43) suggested that the “Upper San Pedro” on Signal Hill might possibly belong to the basal warm-water Las Posas zone instead of the Palos Verdes sands because the beds are deformed and there are two warm-water horizons in the Pleistocene instead of one.

Professor Tieje (7, p 43) also suspected that the “Upper San Pedro” beds at Signal Hill belonged to the Las Posas zone.

Purpose of Report: I spend the summer of 1938 studying the stratigraphy and paleontology of the two Pleistocene formations exposed at Signal Hill. Special emphasis in this study was placed on the lower series of sands and gravels from which a large representative fauna was collected. Previous to this no fossils had been reported from this lower group of sediments. It seems desirable, therefore, to record the results of this investigation.

description: Pharmacy technicians are exposed to volatile organic compounds, like the disinfectant isopropyl alcohol (IPA), during the process of aseptic compounding of parenteral cytotoxic drugs. The occupational exposure to nebulized IPA during aseptic compounding has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the exposure to IPA during aseptic compounding of parenteral cytotoxic drugs and to assess compliance with legal and regulatory limits. As a secondary endpoint, the difference between two disinfection methods was compared regarding the exposure to IPA. The exposure to IPA was measured during five working shifts of 8 hr and one shift of 4 hr. The concentration IPA was measured by using a six-gas monitor. Total daily exposure was calculated as 8-hr Time Weighted Average (TWA) air concentration in mg/m3 and compared with an Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) value of 500 mg/m3 and incidental peak exposure of 5,000 mg/m3. To assess whether the 8-hr TWA air concentration meets the legal and regulatory limits the Similar Exposure Groups (SEG) compliance test was used. A paired sample t-test was conducted to assess difference in exposure between two disinfection methods. The average 8-hr TWA exposure to IPA during the six measurements varied from 2.6 mg/m3 to 43.9 mg/m3 and the highest momentary concentration measured was 860 mg/m3. The result of the SEG compliance test was 3.392 (Ur value) and was greater than the Ut value of 2.187 which means the exposure to IPA is in compliance with the OEL value. No significant difference in exposure was shown between two disinfection methods (p = 0.49). In conclusion, exposure to IPA during aseptic compounding of parenteral cytotoxic drugs showed compliance to the OEL values with no significant difference in exposure between two disinfection methods.
Fatigue stress concentration studies on aluminum alloys

description: NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

Fatigue tests in reversed bending were conducted in 75S-T6 and 17S-T6 aluminum alloys to determine whether Neuber's theory on fatigue stress concentration factors in notches was applicable to these materials. The results of the tests indicate confirmation of the theory within engineering accuracy providing the value of […] (a material constant) is determined experimentally.

Material size effect was investigated and found to exist. This was an unexpected result since other sources (see References 3 and 4) indicated that no size effect existed for aluminum alloys.

Ignoring the correction due to size effect a value of the Neuber's constant  […]  of approximately 0.05" gave reasonable checks with the experimental data for both 75S-T6 and 17S-T6 aluminum alloys. This may indicate that this value of  […]  is the correct material constant for aluminum alloys but additional data on other alloys is needed to confirm this conclusion.
An investigation of vortex shedding as related to the self-excited torsional oscillation of an airfoil

Subjects: Aeronautics

description: This report covers the results of the experimental investigation of the self-excited torsional oscillation of a NACA 0006 airfoil suspended elastically. The relationship between the torsional oscillation and the shedding of vortices was investigated for this airfoil.

Two types of oscillation phenomena were found in the investigation. One type, exhibited by cases with angles of attack just above stall, persisted with increasing velocity without reaching any apparent limit within the range of velocity attainable in the present windtunnel. The other type, exhibited by cases with higher angles of attack, only showed self-excited oscillations in a certain range of velocity, the range decreasing with increasing angle of attack.
