description: The stability of Einstein static universe against homogeneous scalar perturbations in the context of braneworld scenario is investigated. The stability regions are obtained in terms of the constant geometric linear equation of state parameter $ω_{extr}=p_{extr}/ρ_{extr}$ and are studied for each evolutionary era of the universe. The results are discussed for the case of closed, open or flat universe in each era under the obtained restricting conditions. We also briefly investigate the stability against vector and tensor perturbations. Contrary to the classical general relativity, it is found that a stable Einstein static universe may exist in a braneworld theory of gravity against scalar, vector and tensor perturbations for some suitable values and ranges of the cosmological parameters.

title: Correcting For Terrain Interference, Attenuation, and System Bias for a Dual Polarimetric, X-Band Radar
Creators: name: Wolsieffer, Casey
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: This thesis outlines the procedure and theory used to calibrate the UMass eXperimental X-band Radar (UMAXX) for the purpose of monitoring meteorological events in the Pioneer Valley region. Due to the complex topography of the area, lower tilt angles are subject to partial or full beam blockage as well as ground clutter observed through the main beam or sidelobes. Additionally, there are biases internal and external to the system that impact the reflectivity and differential reflectivity measurements. These biases and corrections are addressed in this work. As the radar has been operational since September of 2018, there is ample data available to diag-nose and to perform the necessary corrections to the system. A variety of methods are employed to validate these corrections including comparing intersecting scan volumes between the UMAXX and nearby WSR-88Ds of the NEXRAD network as well as the use of membership functions.
Key results of this work are:


Ground clutter is principally identified through differential phase and secondarily through velocity and co-polar correlation


Partial beam blockage is best estimated assuming a 1.67◦, 2-way beamwidth with an 8dB cutoff


System differential phase and Differential Reflectivity bias are functions of az-imuth due to the radome panels.


A linear relation between wet radome attenuation and rain rate is found


Using an attenuation factor of a = .28 to determine path integrated attenuation improves correlation of reflectivity measurements between UMAXX and NEXRAD network.


Ultimately, the goal is to establish UMAXX as a reliable and well understood benchmark with which to calibrate Raytheon’s dual-polarized phased array radar. The two radars operate in sufficiently close frequencies within X-band and collected data simultaneously while colocated. While phased arrays show great promise and potential in meteorologic observations, they come with many challenges that neces-sitate the use of a trustworthy baseline with which to validate its measurements. Additionally, UMAXX’s data is to be streamed to serve as a source to fill any gaps present in the National Weather Service’s network in the region.

description: We report, for what we believe to be the first time, on the generation of remote self-seeding laser amplification by using only one 800 nm Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser pulse. The laser pulse (~ 40 fs) is first used to generate a filament either in pure nitrogen or in ambient air in which population inversion between ground and excited states of nitrogen molecular ions is realized. Self-induced white light inside the filament is then serving as the seed to be amplified. The self-induced narrow-band laser at 428 nm has a pulse duration of ~2.6 ps with perfect linear polarization property. This finding opens new possibilities for remote detection in the atmosphere.

description: This article reports some preliminary results on an analysis of line bisectors of metal absorption lines of RR Lyrae, the prototype of its class of pulsators. The extensive data set used for this study consists of a time series of spectra obtained at various pulsation phases as well as different Blazhko phases. This setup should allow a comparison of the atmospheric behavior, especially of the function of radial velocity versus depth at differing Blazhko phases, but (almost) identical pulsation phase, making it possible to investigate whether the modulation causes a change in the atmospheric motion of RR Lyrae. While the nature of the Blazhko modulation has often been investigated photometrically and described as a change in the light curve, studies on time series of high resolution spectra are rare. We present for the first time work on line bisectors at different phases of RR Lyr.

description: Doctors who become patients due to serious illnesses face many challenges related to issues of identity, work, and professionalism. In-depth interviews with such doctors reveal the complex ways in which illness threatens identity in these professionals. In comparison with "medical student's disease," these doctors now exhibit "post-residency disease"-- minimizing physical symptoms that are in fact present, leading to decreases in care sought. Doctors often feel they are somehow invulnerable to disease and have to remain strong, not burdening others. Many describe themselves as "workaholics," which can prove to be a double-edged sword, posing problems as well as providing benefits. This professional commitment could interfere with preventive health behaviors and with "practicing what they preach." Some view their illness with their "medical self"-- as if they were a physician observing another patient rather than themselves. These doctors often support their approach by choosing a colleague as a doctor who will not challenge them, thereby establishing a "denial system" as opposed to a support system. These doctor-patients confront difficult issues of how much their physicianhood is an identity or an activity, illustrating the intricate relationships and tensions between work, identity, professionalism, and health in contemporary medicine.

description: In preparation for the mission to Mars in 2020, NASA JPL and Caltech have been exploring the potential of sending a scout robot to accompany the new rover. One of the leading candidates for this scout robot is a lightweight helicopter that can fly every day for ~1 to 3 minutes. Its findings would be critical in the path planning for the rover because of its ability to see over and round local terrain elements. The inconsistent Mars magnetic field and GPS-denied environment would require the navigation system of such a vehicle to be completely overhauled. In this thesis, we present a novel technique for heading estimation for autonomous vehicles using sun sensing via fisheye camera. The approach results in accurate heading estimates within 2.4° when relying on the camera alone. If the information from the camera is fused with our sensors, the heading estimates are even more accurate. While this does not yet meet the desired error bound, it is a start with the critical flaws in the algorithm already identified in order to improve performance significantly. This lightweight solution however shows promise and does meet the weight constraints for the 1 kg Mars 2020 Helicopter Scout.

description: Dispersion, attenuation and wavefronts in a class of linear viscoelastic media proposed by Strick and Mainardi in 1982 and a related class of models due to Lomnitz, Jeffreys and Strick are studied by a new method due to the Author. Unlike the previously studied explicit models of relaxation modulus or creep compliance, these two classes support propagation of discontinuities. Due to an extension made by Strick either of these two classes of models comprise both viscoelastic solids and fluids.

description: Amorphous magnetic solids, like metallic glasses, exhibit a novel effect: the growth of magnetic order as a function of mechanical strain under athermal conditions in the presence of a magnetic field. The magnetic moment increases in steps whenever there is a plastic event. Thus plasticity induces the magnetic ordering, acting as the effective noise driving the system towards equilibrium. We present results of atomistic simulations of this effect in a model of a magnetic amorphous solid subjected to pure shear and a magnetic field. To elucidate the dependence on external strain and magnetic field we offer a mean-field theory that provides an adequate qualitative understanding of the observed phenomenon.

description: Many molecular systems and physical phenomena are controlled by local fluctuations and microscopic dynamical rearrangements of the constitutive interacting units that are often difficult to detect. This is the case, for example, of phase transitions, phase equilibria, nucleation events, and defect propagation, to mention a few. A detailed comprehension of local atomic environments and of their dynamic rearrangements is essential to understand such phenomena, and also to draw structure-property relationships useful to unveil how to control complex molecular systems. Considerable progresses in the development of advanced high-dimensional structural descriptors (e.g., Smooth Overlap of Atomic Position (SOAP), etc.) have certainly enhanced the representation of atomic-scale simulations data. However, despite such efforts, local dynamic environment rearrangements remain still difficult to elucidate. Here, exploiting the structural-rich description of atomic environments of SOAP and building on the concept of time-dependent local variations, we developed a time-dependent SOAP-based descriptor, TimeSOAP (tSOAP), which essentially tracks the time variations in the local SOAP environments surrounding each molecule (i.e., each SOAP center) in complex molecular systems along ensemble trajectories. We demonstrate how analysis of the time-series {tSOAP data and of their time-derivatives allows detecting dynamics domains and tracking instantaneous changes of local atomic arrangements (i.e., local fluctuations) in a variety of molecular systems. The approach is simple and general, and we expect will help to shed light on a variety of complex dynamical phenomena.

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Although concrete tunnel structures can lose strength and long-term durability due to fire, the literature on the remaining capacity of structures after fire events is very scattered, and no published post-fire inspection protocols specifically for concrete tunnel structures are available. This work aims to summarize and synthesize the current state of knowledge of the deleterious effects of fire on the residual condition of concrete tunnel structures and how the extent and degree of fire damage can be assessed. The scope of this work includes an extensive literature review, heat testing of some common tunnel elements, and residual strength testing of a tunnel wall panel. The literature review includes a review of published standards, technical reports, academic papers, and a survey of post-fire inspection practices at other state DOTs and transit organizations. Topics covered in the review include the residual mechanical properties of concrete, steel, and the concrete/steel bond after fire, the residual strength and stiffness of structural members after fire, existing inspection tools and methods for assessing concrete structures after fire, and repair methods for fire-damaged concrete structures. The outcomes of the heat testing are presented, including the setup of a radiant heating system (which does not use a flame), procurement of sample specimens for testing, thermal and physical testing of specimens, and evaluation of results. Lastly, based on the literature review and experimental testing, recommendations for future work are presented.

description: The allocation of a large amount of bandwidth by regulating bodies in the 70/80 GHz band, i.e., the E-band, has opened up new potentials and challenges for providing affordable and reliable Gigabit per second wireless point-to-point links. This article first reviews the available bandwidth and licensing regulations in the E-band. Subsequently, different propagation models, e.g., the ITU-R and Cane models, are compared against measurement results and it is concluded that to meet specific availability requirements, E-band wireless systems may need to be designed with larger fade margins compared to microwave systems. A similar comparison is carried out between measurements and models for oscillator phase noise. It is confirmed that phase noise characteristics, that are neglected by the models used for narrowband systems, need to be taken into account for the wideband systems deployed in the E-band. Next, a new multi-input multi-output (MIMO) transceiver design, termed continuous aperture phased (CAP)-MIMO, is presented. Simulations show that CAP-MIMO enables E-band systems to achieve fiber-optic like throughputs. Finally, it is argued that full-duplex relaying can be used to greatly enhance the coverage of E-band systems without sacrificing throughput, thus, facilitating their application in establishing the backhaul of heterogeneous networks.

description: The three books reviewed here--Henry Goldschmidt’s Race and Religion among the Chosen Peoples of Crown Heights, Paul C. Johnson’s Diaspora Conversions, and Pamela Klassen's Spirits of Protestantism: Medicine, Healing, and Liberal Christianity--begin with quite different questions about very different subjects (blacks and Jews in Brooklyn, diasporic Garifuna religious practitioners, and liberal Protestant missionaries and healers). Despite these differences in topic, and different approaches to and uses of ethnography, all three place considerable attention on how practices of the past form contemporary groups’ identities, particularly as they are shaped within and against American identities and narratives. These differences noted, each shares an interest in representing the living practices of contemporary people in ways that prompt readers to hear and consider how various pasts are believed, acted upon, and reproduced.

description: We consider a point-to-point multiple-input-single-output (MISO) system where a receiver harvests energy from a wireless power transmitter to power itself for various applications. The transmitter performs energy beamforming by using an instantaneous channel state information (CSI). The CSI is estimated at the receiver by training via a preamble, and fed back to the transmitter. The channel estimate is more accurate when longer preamble is used, but less time is left for wireless power transfer before the channel changes. To maximize the harvested energy, in this paper, we address the key challenge of balancing the time resource used for channel estimation and wireless power transfer (WPT), and also investigate the allocation of energy resource used for wireless power transfer. First, we consider the general scenario where the preamble length is allowed to vary dynamically. Taking into account the effects of imperfect CSI, the optimal preamble length is obtained online by solving a dynamic programming (DP) problem. The solution is shown to be a threshold-type policy that depends only on the channel estimate power. Next, we consider the scenario in which the preamble length is fixed. The optimal preamble length is optimized offline. Furthermore, we derive the optimal power allocation schemes for both scenarios. For the scenario of dynamic-length preamble, the power is allocated according to both the optimal preamble length and the channel estimate power; while for the scenario of fixed-length preamble, the power is allocated according to only the channel estimate power. The analysis results are validated by numerical simulations. Encouragingly, with optimal power allocation, the harvested energy by using optimized fixed-length preamble is almost the same as the harvested energy by employing dynamic-length preamble, hence allowing a low-complexity WPT system to be implemented in practice.

description: Assessing the halal beef chain's sustainability is crucial for the achievement of sustainable development goals in Indonesia. This study evaluates the economic, environmental, and social impact of the Indonesian halal beef supply chain. The economic indicator shows that cattle farmers incurred the highest costs, but earn a lower profit than the beef retailers. Cattle farmers produce higher carbon emissions and use more freshwater than other actors. However, cattle farmers contributed most significantly to hiring employees along the Indonesian halal beef supply chain. These indicate a gap between actors that impact the fragile sustainability of the supply chain.

description: This article addresses the reasons behind Herodotus' interest in the island of Samos. Taking as its starting point the famous passage about Samian erga (3.60), I examine Herodotus' stated and implicit reasons for his extended Samian logoi. Scholars tend to explain his interest in Samos as lying in details of his biography. I argue that any such biographical connection to the island merely reinforces stronger unstated reasons for going on long about Samos: these have to do with Periclean Athens' competition with Polycratean Samos as a historical antecedent for thalassocracy, and--not unrelated--the Samian revolt.

description: We consider a Bose-Fermi mixture in the molecular limit of the attractive interaction between fermions and bosons. For a boson density smaller or equal to the fermion density, we show analytically how a T-matrix approach for the constituent bosons and fermions recovers the expected physical limit of a Fermi-Fermi mixture of molecules and atoms. In this limit, we derive simple expressions for the self-energies, the momentum distribution function, and the chemical potentials. By extending these equations to a trapped system, we determine how to tailor the experimental parameters of a Bose-Fermi mixture in order to enhance the 'indirect Pauli exclusion effect' on the boson momentum distribution function. For the homogeneous system, we present finally a Diffusion Monte Carlo simulation which confirms the occurrence of such a peculiar effect.

description: From the late nineteenth century into the first half of the twentieth century, medicine was the consumer item par excellence on the pages of Shen bao and Dagong bao, two of China's first modern newspapers. Advertisements for nutrition-boosting remedies, miracle pills, medicinal syrups, and ointments were ubiquitous, surpassing in amount ads for all other consumer items and luxury goods. This burgeoning commercial site commanded the casting, shaping, and molding of a narrative on modern medicine for urban China. In this paper, I examine the rise of the medicinal commodity to learn about evolving cultural understandings of modern science from the last years of the Qing period until the Japanese invasion in 1937. I argue that this development in print marketing not only created cravings for the pills and tinctures featured, but also wove gendered and semicolonial narratives of desire for science, modernity, and nationalism.

description: Indian retailing is at all-time growth today. The industry is flooded with footfalls of foreignretail giants; in this situation the discussion is open on the survival of Kirana stores (unorganizedretailers) in India. Retailing in India is one of the pillars of its economy and accounts for 14 to 15percent of its GDP. The customer taste is also changing according to the change in whole retailingenvironment. Consumer behaviour is a complex, dynamic, multidimensional process, and allmarketing decisions are based on assumptions about consumer behaviour. Consumer research takesplaces at every phase of utilization process, before the purchase, during the purchase and after thepurchase. It is concerned with learning the specific meanings that products hold for consumers.Understanding the consumer attitude is an important part of the marketing process to realize thechallenges faced by marketers in comprehending the consumer’s mind. Marketing stars with theneeds of the customer and ends with his satisfaction. When everything revolves round the customer,then the study of consumer behavior becomes a necessity. It starts with the buying of goods can bebought individually, or in groups. The heterogeneity among people makes understanding consumerbehaviour a challenging task to marketers. Hence marketers felt the need to obtain an in-depthknowledge of consumers buying behaviour.

description: This research aims to offset the negative effects of fly ash on the early-age properties of cementitious materials with the use of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) nanoparticles. The main focus is to enhance the effect of the nanoparticles by improving dispersion through ultrasonication and use of surfactants. CaCO3 aqueous suspensions with various surfactant types and concentrations are prepared and subjected to different sonication protocols (varying duration and amplitude). Dispersion and stability are quantitatively measured by comparing their absorbance spectra through spectrophotometry and qualitatively evaluated through SEM imaging. The effectiveness of sonicated CaCO₃ nanoparticle additions in accelerating setting and improving early-age compressive strength gain of fly ash-cement pastes is investigated. The sonication protocol is optimized and the most effective dispersion is achieved with polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer. Good agreement is found between the dispersion measurements and mechanical performance.

description: Substantial evidence exists regarding how skeletal muscles use energy and how this affects muscular performance. What remains unclear is how characteristics of muscle energetics affect whole-body energetics during daily living, and what effects this may have on mobility. The goal of this study was to determine the associations between muscle and whole-body energetics including the relationships between: 1) muscle PCr depletion (∆PCr) in response to light intensity isotonic contractions and the oxygen deficit at the onset of a 30-min treadmill walk (30MTW), and, 2) muscle oxidative capacity and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC; 30MTW), respiratory exchange ratio (RER; 30MTW), and peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) from a graded treadmill test. Eight healthy young (28.4 ± 3.5 years) male participants were studied. Muscle energetics were measured via 31-Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS). Muscle ∆PCr was determined as the change in PCr during 2-min of isotonic knee extensor contractions. Muscle oxidative capacity was determined as the rate constant (kPCr) of a PCr recovery following 24-s of maximal isokinetic knee extensor contractions. Whole-body energetic responses to the 30MTW were measured via indirect calorimetry. Oxygen deficit and EPOC were determined as the time constants of the change in oxygen consumption at the onset and offset of the 30MTW, respectively. Respiratory exchange ratio was determined as the mean RER during minutes 7-30 (RER L23), 25-30 (RER L5), and 29-30 (RER L1). Peak oxygen consumption was the highest 30-s average of oxygen consumption during a graded treadmill test, normalized to total mass and lean mass measured by dual-X-ray absorptiometry. Spearman rank correlation coefficients (rs) were calculated to evaluate the associations between independent variables (muscle ∆PCr and oxidative capacity) and dependent variables (oxygen deficit, EPOC, RER, and VO2 peak). Muscle ∆PCr had a positive association (rs = 0.46, p = 0.30) with oxygen deficit. Muscle oxidative capacity had a negative association with EPOC (rs = -0.64, p = 0.14), RER L23 (rs = -0.64, p = 0.14), L5 (rs = -0.68, p = 0.11), and L1 (rs = -0.74, p = 0.07). Muscle oxidative capacity had a positive association with VO2 peak per lean mass (rs = 0.64, p = 0.10), but not VO2 peak per total mass (rs = 0.14, p = 0.75). These results provide promising preliminary evidence that muscle energetics are associated with whole-body energetic response to daily-living type exercise.

description: We present experiments to systematically study the time constants of spin-dependent recombination processes in semiconductors using pulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR). The combination of time-programmed optical excitation and pulsed spin manipulation allows us to directly measure the recombination time constants of electrons via localized spin pairs and the time constant of spin pair formation as a function of the optical excitation intensity. Using electron nuclear double resonance, we show that the time constant of spin pair formation is determined by an electron capture process. Based on these time constants we devise a set of rate equations to calculate the current transient after a resonant microwave pulse and compare the results with experimental data. Finally, we critically discuss the effects of different boxcar integration time intervals typically used to analyze pulsed EDMR experiments on the determination of the time constants. The experiments are performed on phosphorus-doped silicon, where EDMR via spin pairs formed by phosphorus donors and Si/SiO2 interface dangling bond defects is detected.

description: We present a GPU-accelerated version of the real-space SPARC electronic structure code for performing Kohn-Sham density functional theory calculations within the local density and generalized gradient approximations. In particular, we develop a modular math kernel based implementation for NVIDIA architectures wherein the computationally expensive operations are carried out on the GPUs, with the remainder of the workload retained on the CPUs. Using representative bulk and slab examples, we show that GPUs enable speedups of up to 6x relative to CPU-only execution, bringing time to solution down to less than 30 seconds for a metallic system with over 14,000 electrons, and enabling significant reductions in computational resources required for a given wall time.

description: Indian retailing is at all-time growth today. The industry is flooded with footfalls of foreignretail giants; in this situation the discussion is open on the survival of Kirana stores (unorganizedretailers) in India. Retailing in India is one of the pillars of its economy and accounts for 14 to 15percent of its GDP. The customer taste is also changing according to the change in whole retailingenvironment. Consumer behaviour is a complex, dynamic, multidimensional process, and allmarketing decisions are based on assumptions about consumer behaviour. Consumer research takesplaces at every phase of utilization process, before the purchase, during the purchase and after thepurchase. It is concerned with learning the specific meanings that products hold for consumers.Understanding the consumer attitude is an important part of the marketing process to realize thechallenges faced by marketers in comprehending the consumer’s mind. Marketing stars with theneeds of the customer and ends with his satisfaction. When everything revolves round the customer,then the study of consumer behavior becomes a necessity. It starts with the buying of goods can bebought individually, or in groups. The heterogeneity among people makes understanding consumerbehaviour a challenging task to marketers. Hence marketers felt the need to obtain an in-depthknowledge of consumers buying behaviour. The main aim of this present study focusing on the Impactof Retail Marketing in Buying Behaviour of Consumers towards Households and study based on bothprimary and secondary sources of data collections.Keywords: GDP, Consumers’ Taste & Preferences, Research, Behaviour to Necessity, Heterogeneityand Consumer Buying Behaviour.

description: The principle of stationary variance is advocated as a viable variational approach to quantum field theory. The method is based on the principle that the variance of energy should be at its minimum when the state of a quantum system reaches its best approximation for an eigenstate. While not too much popular in quantum mechanics, the method is shown to be valuable in quantum field theory, and three special examples are given in very different areas ranging from Heisenberg model of antiferromagnetism to quantum electrodynamics and gauge theories.

description: To understand the effects of colloidal nanoSiO₂ (CNS) on cement hydration and gel properties in the early and later age, hydration heat, calcium morphology, hydroxide content, non-evaporable water (NEW) content and nanoscale mechanical properties were measured. Some comparison studies were conducted on silica fume (SF) paste, as well. Results revealed that the accelerating effect of CNS on hydration in the early age is achieved by the acceleration of cement dissolution and hydrate nucleation on reacted nanoSiO₂ particles. Although cement hydration can be greatly accelerated by CNS in the early age, its later age hydration is hindered. The NEW content of CNS-added paste experiences a higher rate of increase initially, but gradually becomes smaller than that of the control paste due to changes in the gel structure, making NEW content an unsuitable method for monitoring the hydration of CNS-added paste. However, nanoindentation results revealed that CNS modifies the gel structure to increase the high-stiffness C–S–H gel content.
Estimating the density-scaling exponent of a monatomic liquid from its pair potential

description: This paper investigates two conjectures for calculating the density dependence of the density-scaling exponent of a single-component, pair-potential liquid with strong virial potential-energy correlations. The first conjecture gives an analytical expression for the density-scaling exponent directly in terms of the pair potential. The second conjecture is a refined version of this, which involves the most likely nearest-neighbor distance determined from the pair-correlation function. The two conjectures for the density-scaling exponent are tested by simulations of three systems, one of which is the standard Lennard-Jones liquid. While both expressions give qualitatively correct results, the second expression is more accurate.

description: Welfare costs of a potential food shock were estimated by disseminating information to milk drinkers on the prevalence of Mycobacterium avium sub. paratuberculosis (MAP) in the U.S. milk supply, its potential linkage to Crohn’s disease in humans, and subsequent government intervention to minimize MAP in the milk supply. We found that 19.6% of milk consumers exposed to MAP information would stop milk consumption at current market prices, and that only 5% of those would return to their original milk consumption levels after the government intervention. Societal costs of the food shock after the intervention were estimated at $18.2 billion.

description: This letter presents strong novel evidence for the semi-permeable membrane surrounding Portland cement during the induction period. In the cement hydration, heat curve obtained through high-resolution differential scanning calorimetry under isothermal conditions, one main and some other smaller endothermic peaks were detected. These endothermic peaks are believed to be caused by the osmotic expansion that occurs after the semi-permeable membrane forms, not the precipitation of calcium hydroxide or the imbibition of water during the induction period.
