Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

description: The three-particle operator in a second quantized form is studied. The operator is transformed into irreducible tensor form. Possible coupling schemes, distinguished by the classes of symmetric group \mathrm{S_{6}}, are presented. Recoupling coefficients, which allow one to transform given scheme into another, are produced by using the angular momentum theory, combined with quasispin formalism. The classification of three-particle operator, which acts on n=1,2,...,6 open shells of equivalent electrons of atom, is considered. The procedure to construct three-particle matrix elements are examined.

description: The covariantly constant spacetime torsion is one of the fields which may break Lorentz and CPT symmetry. We review the previous works on the dynamical torsion in the framework of effective quantum field theory (QFT). It turns out that the existence of propagating torsion is strongly restricted by the QFT principles. In particular, the torsion mass must be much greater than the masses of all fermionic particles. In this situation, the main chance to observe torsion is due to some symmetry breaking which may, in principle, produce almost constant background torsion field.

description: We studied the impact of the revisited values for the LSR circular velocity of the Milky Way (Reid et al. 2004) on the formation of the Magellanic Stream. The LSR circular velocity was varied within its observational uncertainties as a free parameter of the interaction between the Large (LMC) and the Small (SMC) Magellanic Clouds and the Galaxy. We have shown that the large-scale morphology and kinematics of the Magellanic Stream may be reproduced as tidal features, assuming the recent values of the proper motions of the Magellanic Clouds (Kallivayalil et al. 2006). Automated exploration of the entire parameter space for the interaction was performed to identify all parameter combinations that allow for modeling the Magellanic Stream. Satisfactory models exist for the dynamical mass of the Milky Way within a wide range of 0.6*10^12Msun to 3.0*10^12Msun and over the entire 1-sigma errors of the proper motions of the Clouds. However, the successful models share a common interaction scenario. The Magellanic Clouds are satellites of the Milky Way, and in all cases two close LMC-SMC encounters occurred within the last 4Gyr at t

description: We consider a phenomenological extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model which incorporates non-minimal chaotic inflation, driven by a quartic potential associated with the lightest right-handed sneutrino. Inflation is followed by a Peccei-Quinn phase transition based on renormalizable superpotential terms, which resolves the strong CP and mu problems of the minimal supersymmetric standard model provided that one related parameter of the superpotential is somewhat small. Baryogenesis occurs via non-thermal leptogenesis, which is realized by the inflaton decay. Confronting our scenario with the current observational data on the inflationary observables, the baryon assymetry of the universe, the gravitino limit on the reheating temperature and the upper bound on the light neutrino masses, we constrain the effective Yukawa coupling involved in the decay of the inflaton to relatively small values and the inflaton mass to values lower than 10^12 GeV.

description: Star formation takes place in dense cores within molecular clouds. These cores are characterised by higher densities and lower temperatures compared to the parental cloud (Caselli et al., 2002). Observations using high-density (>104 cm-3) tracers show the turbulence inside dense cores to be subsonic (Barranco & Goodman, 1998), in contrast to the supersonic turbulence in the large-scale ambient cloud (Larson, 1981). Understanding the transition from the cloud to subsonic dense cores is imperative in the study of core formation, as the dissipation of turbulence is an essential step in the process. This transition region could also help understand the connection between the cores and the ambient molecular cloud. NH3 inversion transitions are ideal tracers to observe the dense cores and surrounding cloud, which have inherently different densities (Choudhury et al., 2021). The subsonic dense cores are usually thought to be well- separated from their natal cloud, and evolve as isolated units. However, it has not been studied with high sensitivity in the vicinity of the cores to study whether the cores indeed share a sharp boundary with the surrounding cloud, or there are structures connecting the cores to the cloud. The later scenario would imply that further accretion of material might be possible onto the core, which changes our understanding of the morphology and the dynamical evolution of dense cores. In this poster, we present some of the results from our recent study in L1688 addressing these questions.

description: We report the results from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of a sample of 10 type 1 quasars selected to have unusual UV emission-line properties (weak and blueshifted high-ionization lines; strong UV Fe emission) similar to those of PHL 1811, a confirmed intrinsically X-ray weak quasar. These quasars were identified by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey at high redshift (z~2.2); eight are radio quiet while two are radio intermediate. All of the radio-quiet PHL 1811 analogs are notably X-ray weak by a mean factor of ~13. These sources lack broad absorption lines and have blue UV/optical continua, suggesting they are intrinsically X-ray weak. However, their average X-ray spectrum appears to be harder than those of typical quasars, which may indicate the presence of heavy intrinsic X-ray absorption. Our radio-quiet PHL 1811 analogs support a connection between an X-ray weak spectral energy distribution and PHL 1811-like UV emission lines; this connection provides an economical way to identify X-ray weak type 1 quasars. The fraction of radio-quiet PHL 1811 analogs in the radio-quiet quasar population is estimated to be < 1.2%. We have investigated correlations between relative X-ray brightness and UV emission-line properties for a sample combining radio-quiet PHL 1811 analogs, PHL 1811, and typical type 1 quasars. These correlation analyses suggest that PHL 1811 analogs may have extreme wind-dominated broad emission-line regions. Observationally, radio-quiet PHL 1811 analogs appear to be a subset (~30%) of radio-quiet weak-line quasars. The existence of a subset of quasars in which high-ionization "shielding gas" covers most of the BELR, but little more than the BELR, could potentially unify the PHL 1811 analogs and WLQs. The two radio-intermediate PHL 1811 analogs are X-ray bright. One of them appears to have jet-dominated X-ray emission, while the nature of the other remains unclear.

Cellulose nanocrystals : from extraction to biomedical application
Creators: name: Frost, Brody Allen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: With societal, industrial, and clinical progress continuously reaching greater heights, the crucial need for enhanced materials with versatile properties is ever increasing to help this growth. As such, polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have been heavily researched, becoming redefined as their own class of materials, focusing on fundamental structure/property relationships, manufacturing techniques, and commercial applications, due to their remarkable properties and application versatility. Through countless nanoparticle and polymer matrix variations, PNCs can be finely-tuned to exhibit a multitude of unique characteristics. Utilizing this concept, the research laid out in the combined chapters of this dissertation sought to produce various PNCs embedded with cellulose nanocrystals/nanofibrils (CNCs/CNFs) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to obtain uniquely tunable properties to further progress the biomaterials field for biomedical applications. Initially, CNCs were extracted from the otherwise useless agricultural waste product of spent coffee grounds through phosphoric acid hydrolysis, and analyzed using multiple physical and chemical characterization techniques. In particular, a few crucial properties determined were aspect ratio of 12 ± 3, crystallinity of 74.2%, surface charge density of 48.4 ± 6.2 mmol/kg cellulose, and the ability to successfully reinforce PNCs, comparing well to other literature data and common commercial CNCs. Following extraction, CNCs/CNFs, as well as MNPs, were incorporated into various polymer matrices, including poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate, sodium alginate, gelatin, and polyurethane, among others. Through solution casting and 3D bioprinting fabrication methods, as well as composition manipulation, CNCs/CNFs were able to reach ideal percolating networks within the PNCs for maximum mechanical reinforcement with minimal hindrance of the polymer matrix’s natural properties. The various PNC hydrogel scaffolds successfully demonstrated tunability of their nanostructural, mechanical, hydration, and biodegradation properties, utilizing the benefits of manipulated composition, crosslinking density, and nanofiller orientation to increase versatility for tissue engineering constructs. Additionally, MNP incorporation was shown to successfully produce inductive heating responses to promote topographical shape memory effects, while invoking minute thermal dissipation into surrounding environments to reduce thermal shock to seeded biological components. The success of this work makes strides to overcome a few crucial disadvantages of current PNC biomaterial hydrogels, specifically their inability to regenerate biomimetic native tissues during wound healing.

Year: 2020

description: Il presente Lavoro di Diploma si pone l’obiettivo di tematizzare la relazione tra inquinamento acustico e qualità del paesaggio sonoro, sensibilizzando gli allievi della scuola media di Gordola verso una problematica spesso sacrificata. La ricerca è stata effettuata attraverso un percorso didattico intrapreso con una classe di terza media della sede di Gordola. Gli allievi sono stati interrogati, tramite questionario anonimo, sul ruolo che l’inquinamento acustico interpreta all’interno delle loro vite e i risultati hanno condotto alla conclusione che nessuno di loro avesse idea né dell’importanza del tema né della sua esistenza. Attraverso l’azione didattica del docente i ragazzi hanno potuto studiare e registrare il paesaggio sonoro della città di Gordola per poi poter crearne una mappa acustica. Durante la seconda sezione, più volta all’ambito poietico della disciplina, gli allievi hanno creato e registrato una canzone esprimendo tutte le tematiche affrontate in classe, potendo così interiorizzare i saperi appresi in classe. Attraverso la creazione del brano musicale il docente ha potuto constatare quanto i ragazzi possano essere sensibili circa una problematica che colpisce il pianeta da decenni e abbiano voglia di metterci in gioco per cambiare il mondo che li circonda. All’interno di questo Lavoro di Diploma saranno descritte tutte le diverse fasi del progetto intrapreso con la classe 3aC e il risultato della ricerca in educazione avanzata dal docente.

description: We discretize the Hamiltonian scalar constraint of three-dimensional Riemannian gravity on a graph of the loop quantum gravity phase space. This Hamiltonian has a clear interpretation in terms of discrete geometries: it computes the extrinsic curvature from dihedral angles. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation takes the form of difference equations, which are actually recursion relations satisfied by Wigner symbols. On the boundary of a tetrahedron, the Hamiltonian generates the exact recursion relation on the 6j-symbol which comes from the Biedenharn-Elliott (pentagon) identity. This fills the gap between the canonical quantization and the symmetries of the Ponzano-Regge state-sum model for 3d gravity.

La langue de classe: la posta in gioco per un docente di L2 confrontato con la realtà linguistica ticinese

description: Questo lavoro di ricerca è incentrato sulla tematica della langue de classe e sulle svariate competenze che un docente di lingua deve dimostrare di avere per vincere la sfida di usare la L2 in classe. Il contesto di svolgimento della ricerca sono delle lezioni di francese svolte con una classe di II media, un gruppo che si può definire quasi principiante. Inizialmente sono state svolte parecchie registrazioni, grazie alle quali è stato possibile individuare una serie di ambiti ricorrenti durante le lezioni. In seguito sono stati elencati una serie di esempi significativi per ogni ambito che hanno sfociato in una lista di descrittori. Gli ambiti sono stati accuratamente classificati in apposite tabelle a dipendenza della lingua nella quale vengono affrontati (L1, L2 o alternanza tra la L1 e la L2). In seguito si è passati alla sottomissione di un questionario agli allievi per raccogliere le loro sensazioni in merito alla lingua di classe usata dalla docente. Inoltre è stata svolta un’analisi profonda sugli apporti di tipo culturale possibili grazie ad un frequente uso della langue de classe. L’obiettivo a lungo termine della ricerca sarebbe quello di ampliare e completare la lista di descrittori in modo tale da arrivare a definire quali sono le competenze che i futuri docenti di L2 devo assolutamente avere, sia a livello personale, sia per quanto riguarda le competenze specifiche legate alla professione del docente.

description: Patterns of news consumption are changing drastically. Citizens increasingly rely on social media such as Facebook to read and share political news. With the power of these platforms to expose citizens to political information, the implications for democracy are profound, making understanding what is shared during elections a priority on the research agenda. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, no study has yet explicitly explored how elections transform news sharing behaviour on Facebook. This study begins to remedy this by (a) investigating changes in news coverage and news sharing behaviour on Facebook by comparing election and routine periods, and by (b) addressing the ‘news gap’ between preferences of journalists and news consumers on social media. Employing a novel data set of news articles (N = 83,054) in Mexico, findings show that during periods of heightened political activity, both the publication and dissemination of political news increases, the gap between the news choices of journalists and consumers narrows, and that news sharing resembles a zero-sum game, with increased political news sharing leading to a decrease in the sharing of other news.

description: We discuss the nature of rings that may exist around extrasolar planets. Taking the general properties of rings around the gas giants in the Solar System, we infer the likely properties of rings around exoplanets that reside inside the ice line. Due to their proximity to their host star, rings around such exoplanets must primarily consist of rocky materials. However, we find that despite the higher densities of rock compared to ice, most of the observed extrasolar planets with reliable radii measurements have sufficiently large Roche radii to support rings. For the currently known transiting extrasolar planets, Poynting-Robertson drag is not effective in significantly altering the dynamics of individual ring particles over a time span of $10^8$ years provided that they exceed about 1 m in size. In addition, we show that significantly smaller ring particles can exist in optically thick rings, for which we find typical ring lifetimes ranging from a few times $10^6$ to a few times $10^9$ years. Most interestingly, we find that many of the rings could have nontrivial Laplacian planes due to the increased effects of the orbital quadrupole caused by the exoplanets' proximity to their host star, allowing a constraint on the $J_2$ of extrasolar planets from ring observations. This is particular exciting, since a planet's $J_2$ reveals information about its interior structure. Furthermore, measurements of an exoplanet's oblateness and of its $J_2$, from warped rings, would together place limits on its spin period. Based on the constraints that we have derived for extrasolar rings, we anticipate that the best candidates for ring detections will come from transit observations by the Kepler spacecraft of extrasolar planets with semi-major axes $\sim 0.1$ AU and larger.

title: Marketing Strategies for Small Scale Producers
Creators: name: Yeager, Irvin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: This study examines fresh produce marketing for small producers in the U.S. Rocky Mountain region by comparing risk and return attributes for farmers’ markets and wholesale outlets. Prices were collected from farmers’ markets in Utah and Colorado and San Francisco terminal market prices from USDA NASS were used to represent wholesale prices received by producers. Production and harvesting costs, as well as marketing costs for both outlets are also included in the analysis.
Simulation was used to compare the results of eleven marketing options based on the level of marketing activities in wholesale and farmers’ markets. The simulation results were then analyzed using stochastic efficiency with respect to a function (SERF). The results find that risk averse producers will prefer to market to both outlets (portfolio), while risk neutral producers will prefer to market exclusively to farmers’ markets.

description: Observations at various wavelengths of late B-type stars exhibiting strong overabundances of the chemical elements Hg and Mn in their atmospheres indicate that these stars are frequently found in binary and multiple systems. We intend to study the multiplicity of this type of chemically peculiar stars, looking for visual companions in the range of angular separation between 0.05" and 8". We carried out a survey of 56 stars using diffraction-limited near-infrared imaging with NAOS-CONICA at the VLT. Thirty-three companion candidates in 24 binaries, three triples, and one quadruple system were detected. Nine companion candidates were found for the first time in this study. Five objects are likely chance projections. The detected companion candidates have K magnitudes between 5.95m and 18.07m and angular separations ranging from <0.05" to 7.8", corresponding to linear projected separations of 13.5-1700 AU. Our study clearly confirms that HgMn stars are frequently members of binary and multiple systems. Taking into account companions found by other techniques, the multiplicity fraction in our sample may be as high as 91%. The membership in binary and multiple systems seems to be a key point to understanding the abundance patterns in these stars.

description: The final qualifying work is devoted to the study of the use of neural networks in the problems of magnetic flaw detection of pipes. Filtering methods were considered for signal preprocessing. Adaptive finite impulse response filter and wavelet filtering for denoise of seamless pipes noise (SPN) and system noise in sensor signals are described in detail and implemented. Also in this paper, the experience of using neural networks in magnetic flaw detection is considered. Based on the analysis performed, the architecture of a convolutional neural network was selected. It solved the problem of binary classification of defectogram, and the problem itself was considered as a classification of images. As a result of testing, shortcomings were identified and ways to overcome them were proposed.

description: The nearest neighbor spacing distribution (NNSD) is one of common methods in statistical analysis of nuclear energy levels. In this paper, we have proposed Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method to evaluate parameter of (NNSD)'s which explain chaotic and regular behavior of nuclear systems .Also with Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) will obtain decreasing of uncertainty for our results in compare to previous methods. We calculate these parameters for different mass groups and nuclei with special values of deformation parameter, and also for nuclei with IBM's three dynamical symmetries and transitional regions between these three limits and confirm theoretical predictions even in cases where the small size of data don't allow exact conclusions with previous methods . We obtain better consistent of our results with Poisson and Wigner(GOE) distributions with Kullback-Leibeller divergence.

description: My work is inspired by experiences I have had while hiking in the deserts of the American West and northern Mexico. While these desert regions are sparse, they are surprisingly rich in biodiversity. This arid abundance creates beautifully stark wilderness. It is the wild plant forms in these landscapes – the chalky yet silky saguaro rib, the fine fibers that feather and spin off a yucca blade – that inspire this body of prints. These are plants that I touch, taste, admire, and am fascinated with.

description: Various possibilities are currently under discussion to explain the observed weakness of the intrinsic magnetic field of planet Mercury. One of the possible dynamo scenarios is a dynamo with feedback from the magnetosphere. Due to its weak magnetic field Mercury exhibits a small magnetosphere whose subsolar magnetopause distance is only about 1.7 Hermean radii. We consider the magnetic field due to magnetopause currents in the dynamo region. Since the external field of magnetospheric origin is antiparallel to the dipole component of the dynamo field, a negative feedback results. For an alpha-omega-dynamo two stationary solutions of such a feedback dynamo emerge, one with a weak and the other with a strong magnetic field. The question, however, is how these solutions can be realized. To address this problem, we discuss various scenarios for a simple dynamo model and the conditions under which a steady weak magnetic field can be reached. We find that the feedback mechanism quenches the overall field to a low value of about 100 to 150 nT if the dynamo is not driven too strongly.

Non-target interactions and humane evaluation of a captive bolt trap on commensal rodents

description: The Goodnature® A24 automatic rat trap is a self-resetting captive-bolt trap powered by pressurized CO₂, designed with the objective of instantly rendering animals unconscious followed by death, but little research has examined the humaneness of the trap or its potential to harm non-target mammals and birds. This study aimed to identify potential risks to non-target animals, and to evaluate its humaneness in killing target rodents. Seventeen traps, each paired with a motion-activated video camera, were deployed at two sites where rodents were present. In a 9-week study designed to assess risks to non-target animals, traps were baited but not activated, and a blocking device (“blocker”) was used in a cross-over design to evaluate its potential at reducing non-target strikes. A total of 2,282 interactions involving 33 species were recorded, with mice and rats as the most common mammals (566 visits), followed by squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and shrews. Birds were often observed (1,312 visits), but had little interaction with the trap. Raccoons and squirrels were observed either entering the trap or inserting limbs in the trap 36 times when no blocker was in place, but these interactions did not occur for traps with a blocker. Once the researchers were confident in avoiding non-target strikes, the traps were activated and recorded for 19 weeks across two different locations to evaluate humaneness. Surprisingly, only 11 trap triggers and eight kills were observed across the two locations. Of the eight kills (3 house mice, 4 deer mice, 1 grey squirrel), observations indicated immediate or near-immediate cessation of movement and apparently instantaneous death. Post-mortem analysis by micro-CT supports observations of immediate unconsciousness. One Norway rat and one grey squirrel were non-lethally struck by the trap. One deer mouse appeared to trigger the trap without obvious injury. In conclusion, the Goodnature® A24 rat trap is a relatively humane alternative to rodenticide poisons for mice in these circumstances, but further research is needed to evaluate the humaneness and efficacy for rats.

description: This program evaluation assessed the feasibility and effectiveness of a free No Child Left Inside (NCLI) week-long outdoor program to coincide with the Utah state-designated No Child Left Inside Week. The pilot program was implemented at the community level in Cache Valley, Utah, in 2012. Families attended eleven activities throughout the week that included hands-on experience and participation. A community BioBlitz was also planned as a conclusion to the week. Survey results demonstrate increased excitement and desire to spend more time outdoors exploring and learning, accomplishing NCLI goals of laying groundwork for an environmental literacy foundation in America’s children.
