The phonon dispersion of graphite revisited

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We review calculations and measurements of the phonon-dispersion relation of graphite. First-principles calculations using density-functional theory are generally in good agreement with the experimental data since the long-range character of the dynamical matrix is properly taken into account. Calculations with a plane-wave basis demonstrate that for the in-plane optical modes, the generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) yields frequencies lower by 2% than the local-density approximation (LDA) and is thus in better agreement with experiment. The long-range character of the dynamical matrix limits the validity of force-constant approaches that take only interaction with few neighboring atoms into account. However, by fitting the force-constants to the ab-initio dispersion relation, we show that the popular 4th-nearest-neighbor force-constant approach yields an excellent fit for the low frequency modes and a moderately good fit (with a maximum deviation of 6%) for the high-frequency modes. If, in addition, the non-diagonal force-constant for the second-nearest neighbor interaction is taken into account, all the qualitative features of the high-frequency dispersion can be reproduced and the maximum deviation reduces to 4%. We present the new parameters as a reliable basis for empirical model calculations of phonons in graphitic nanostructures, in particular carbon nanotubes.

description: The substitution of meat with legumes is one way of making food consumption more sustainable. The substitution would ease the debate on food security and is aligned with the recommendations of climate change experts. The stagnation or decline of meat consumption in many developed countries and the emerging market for meat alternatives, point at shifting preferences from animal to plant based protein, such as legumes. While consumers’ attitudes towards meat consumption are reasonably well researched, little is known about consumers’ willingness to change their dietary habits from meat to plant based protein. This article explores consumers’ acceptance of replacing meat with legumes, acceptance of meat alternatives made from legumes and acceptance of processed legumes in general. Consumer samples were drawn from Germany (GER: N=633) and New Zealand (NZ: N=445). The samples reflect the underlying age, gender and income distribution. Separate Latent Class Analyses revealed five consumer segments in each of the samples. In both countries, a large segment has no intention to substitute, while one segment frequently substitutes. A third segment of both countries has no intention to substitute, but considers processed legume products, if not marketed as an alternative to meat. Other segments capture country specific preferences for meat alternatives, as well as a segment that rather substitutes meat directly with certain legumes than having processed meat alternatives. Self-efficacy, i.e. the perceived ability to reduce meat, is a key barrier that hinders substitution. We discuss segment specific findings and how to develop on consumer’s acceptance of substitution.

description: We present RAPPIDS: a novel collision checking and planning algorithm for multicopters that is capable of quickly finding local collision-free trajectories given a single depth image from an onboard camera. The primary contribution of this work is a new pyramid-based spatial partitioning method that enables rapid collision detection between candidate trajectories and the environment. By leveraging the efficiency of our collision checking method, we shown how a local planning algorithm can be run at high rates on computationally constrained hardware, evaluating thousands of candidate trajectories in milliseconds. The performance of the algorithm is compared to existing collision checking methods in simulation, showing our method to be capable of evaluating orders of magnitude more trajectories per second. Experimental results are presented showing a quadcopter quickly navigating a previously unseen cluttered environment by running the algorithm on an ODROID-XU4 at 30 Hz.

The Darkroom as Weapon? Anti-Colonialism and Ethnography in Raoul Ubac's Penthésilée Photomontages
Creators: name: MacKenzie, Megan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Belgian Surrealist Raoul Ubac’s Penthésilée photomontages (1937-39) depict imagined scenes of graphic violence that fragment the female body to the point of rendering it illegible. This representational violence occurs not only on the iconographic level, but is also embedded in the surface of the photograph through the use of darkroom techniques such as solarization and brûlage. While Ubac’s photomontages have been examined through the lenses of Surrealist misogyny and the Spanish Civil War, they have not yet been considered in relation to the visual record of Belgian colonial violence in the Congo. Reading the iconography of Ubac’s images and his engagement with the legend of the ancient Amazons, this thesis analyzes the ways in which Ubac deployed the image of the Amazon as a gendered and racial “Other.” Ubac took as his sources of inspiration the Greek myth of the Amazonian queen, and Heinrich von Kleist’s Romantic play Penthesilea (1808), both of which frame Penthesilea as inferior to her Greek foe/lover, Achilles. By putting Ubac’s use of the Penthesilea myth in the context of the Surrealist movement’s anti-colonialist stance and the group’s ethnographic interest in “primitive” cultures, this thesis shows how Ubac critiqued photography’s use as a tool of imperialism while still mobilizing a primitivist discourse that supported and enabled colonial violence.

description: Nanoscale single-crystals possess modified phonon dispersions due to the truncation of the crystal. The introduction of surfaces alters the population of phonons relative to the bulk and introduces anisotropy arising from the breaking of translational symmetry. Such modifications exist throughout the Brillouin zone, even in structures with dimensions of several nanometers, posing a challenge to the characterization of vibrational properties and leading to uncertainty in predicting the thermal, optical, and electronic properties of nanomaterials. Synchrotron x-ray thermal diffuse scattering studies find that freestanding Si nanomembranes with thicknesses as large as 21 nm exhibit a higher scattering intensity per unit thickness than bulk silicon. In addition, the anisotropy arising from the finite thickness of these membranes produces particularly intense scattering along reciprocal-space directions normal to the membrane surface compared to corresponding in-plane directions. These results reveal the dimensions at which calculations of materials properties and device characteristics based on bulk phonon dispersions require consideration of the nanoscale size of the crystal.

Unicapsulocaudum

description: Unicapsulocaudum gen. nov.
Diagnosis: The mature spore was ophidian-shaped with a bulky anterior end which tapered gradually and terminated as a tapering tail. It had two shell valves; one was very elongated and much bigger and longer than the other one, which looked like a horn-shaped protuberance in front of the bulky anterior end of spore. The horn-shaped valve was superficially smooth in lateral view. The sutural line was fine and could be observed on some spores in the frontal view (see Figures 1f and 2b). A single pyriformshaped polar capsule was positioned inside of the bulky anterior end of the spore. Homogeneous sporoplasm completely filled the entire spore cavity. The tail of the spore was transformable by changing its shape to ‘l’, ‘C’, ‘S’ or other shapes (see Figures 1 and 2).
 Type and only species: Unicapsulocaudum mugilum sp. nov.
 Etymology: The word Unicapsulocaudum refers to the conspicuous morphological feature of the myxosporean and is a composite of Unicapsulo (= one polar capsule) and the Latin - caudum (= tail).
Taxonomic affinities: The genus is tentatively placed in the Ceratomyxidae Doflein, 1899.

JOHN SINGER SARGENT’S WILLIAM M. CHASE, N.A.: MAKING A CASE FOR PORTRAIT PAINTING IN THE AGE OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Creators: name: Schuman, Alexandra
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In 1902, students of William Merritt Chase commissioned John Singer Sargent to paint a portrait of their teacher that they intended to donate to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the portrait, Chase stares intently at the viewer with a palette and paintbrushes in hand, presumably pausing in the midst of painting to scrutinize his canvas. Despite this pause in his handiwork, his focused facial expression implies that his mind remains active. By depicting Chase engaged in the mental and perceptive work that precedes the physical handling of paint, Sargent asserted the importance of skilled, artistic observation and refuted critics who characterized both Sargent and Chase’s work as facile and superficial. At the time, portrait painting was under threat by the increasingly popular automated medium of photography, which provided faster and more accurate depictions of sitters. Sargent’s portrait of Chase emphasizes the importance of observation and discernment and asserts the value of the portrait painter against the rise of photography. The circumstances of this commission presented Sargent with the opportunity to take charge of his own narrative within the genre for which he was most known and in which he held the most professional stake. As a commission intended for the Metropolitan Museum, the preeminent institution for art in America, Chase’s portrait allowed Sargent to align with the museum’s implicit interest in connoisseurship and the value of original works of art. Within this context, by both picturing and fostering close looking, Sargent prompted viewers to consider the intellectual work involved in the portrait’s creation, thereby asserting the value of painting over photography.

description: This study aims to identify and describe best practices and strategies for social media use on Broadway. A review of the existing literature highlighted that although there is data on both social media and Broadway marketing, there are gaps in research on the overlap between these two concepts. After analyzing literature and case studies and interviewing professionals in the Broadway social media field, it was revealed that digital content should be diversified across social platforms, stay true to the nature of the show, be accessible and inclusive for all audiences, encourage fan interaction, and feel personal to each follower. By adhering to these guidelines, Broadway social media managers will have the highest chance of success to market their product, expand their audience base, and bolster a sense of community online.

description: A canonical wireless communication system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The information bit stream is transmitted after coding, modulation, and pulse shaping. Due to the effects of radio frequency (RF) impairments, channel fading, noise and interference, the signal arriving at the receiver will be distorted. The receiver needs to recover the original information from the distorted signal. In this paper, we propose a new receiver model, namely DeepReceiver, that uses a deep neural network to replace the traditional receiver's entire information recovery process. We design a one-dimensional convolution DenseNet (1D-Conv-DenseNet) structure, in which global pooling is used to improve the adaptability of the network to different input signal lengths. Multiple binary classifiers are used at the final classification layer to achieve multi-bit information stream recovery. We also exploit the DeepReceiver for unified blind reception of multiple modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) by including signal samples of corresponding MCSs in the training set. Simulation results show that the proposed DeepReceiver performs better than traditional step-by-step serial hard decision receiver in terms of bit error rate under the influence of various factors such as noise, RF impairments, multipath fading, cochannel interference, dynamic environment, and unified reception of multiple MCSs.

description: This paper examines the impacts of interest rates, exchange rates and money supply on real net fann incomes in South Africa from 1947-1994. A vector autoregression framework is used for the analysis which places minimal restrictions on the model so the true structure of the relationship can be observed. Long run relationships were established using cointegration and time varying parameters estimated to analyze the macroeconomic impacts at various stages of financial sector reform. The results indicate that the interest rate had the most significant effect on real net fann income which was exacerbated during the reform process. Exchange rates have played a role as a cost of production through imported inputs with the marketing boards being fairly successful at insulating farmers from external demand.

The mission is the message: Analyzing the connection between mission statements and engagement programs in U.S. orchestras
Creators: name: Michael, Andrew Michael Paul
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The goal of this research is to determine how U.S. Orchestras could use Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to combat issues of social inequity both within their organization and within the communities in which they reside. The business model of non-profit U.S. orchestras requires that organizations change strategies and mission over time to effectively serve people in their ever-changing communities. The murder of George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin in May of 2020 spurred several U.S. orchestras to re-evaluate their engagement strategies to better connect with their communities via socially inclusive practices. The research presented in this thesis offers data-driven strategies for community engagement in U.S. orchestras with the hope that orchestras can integrate meaningful engagement into their business model. This research combines the literature of mission statements and the literature of CSR to reveal a two-pronged approach to community engagement: external outreach and internal regulations. External outreach represents traditional outreach strategies (i.e. orchestras in community concerts). Internal regulations differ in that orchestras design internal policies and procedures within the business model to welcome diversity into the organization. (e.g. advisory councils and fellowships). CSR analysis was applied to ninety-seven orchestral engagement departments to determine program impact as either transactional, transitional, or transformational. Findings revealed that traditional orchestral engagement forms a ‘pipeline’ from transactional to transitional but fails to create significant transformational engagement. The author of this paper proposes a new model of pipeline engagement based off the for U.S. orchestras: The Sonata-Allegro Methods of Engagement. (S.A.M.E.)
title: The Bauschinger Effect In High Strength Steels
Creators: name: Brown, Peter
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: The aim of this investigation was to characterise the Bauschinger effect (BE) exhibited by Q2N, a high strength, martensitic steel. It is defined here as "the phenomenon by which the flow stress of a metal in one direction, is reduced by plastic flow in another" and the uniaxial tension/compression test is adopted as the most appropriate mechanical test for studying the BE in Q2N. The BE is assessed by a series of primary parameters which characterise it in terms of a specific quantity, and by a range of secondary parameters which express the BE as a fraction of its theoretical maximum. The effects of tensile prestrain and heat treatment on both groups of stress, strain and energy related BE parameters is addressed and a theoretical analysis based on the Parallel Elements Model (PEM) and the Atkinson, Brown, Stobbs (ABS) model of the BE is also considered.

 The results show that all of the primary BE parameters, and the stress related secondary BE parameter increased linearly with prestrain, indicating that the BE in Q2N also increased with prestrain. However, the strain and energy related secondary BE parameters decreased exponentially with prestrain, demonstrating a decrease in the BE exhibited by Q2N with prestrain. Whilst no attempt is made to resolve this dichotomy it is emphasised that the BE in Q2N can only be fully characterised, if it is quantified using all of the stress, strain and energy related BE parameters, both primary and secondary.

 It is also demonstrated that a low temperature, short duration heat treatment can reduce the BE in Q2N by 25%, and that for prestrains below 1% agreement between experimental data and the predictions of the PEM/ABS model of the BE is good.

 It is concluded that Q2N exhibits a substantial BE which may adversely affect the performance of any structure fabricated from it.

description: We have used second order relativistic hydrodynamics equipped with equation of state which includes the critical point to study the propagation of perturbation in a relativistic QCD fluid. Dispersion relation for the sound wave has been derived to ascertain the fate of the perturbation in the fluid near the QCD critical end point (CEP). We observe that the threshold value of the wavelength of the sound in the fluid diverges at the CEP, implying that all the modes of the perturbations are dissipated at this point. Some consequences of the suppression of sound near the critical point have been discussed.

The murder of George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin in May of 2020 spurred several U.S. orchestras to re-evaluate their engagement strategies to better connect with their communities via socially inclusive practices. The research presented in this thesis offers data-driven strategies for community engagement in U.S. orchestras with the hope that orchestras can integrate meaningful engagement into their business model. This research combines the literature of mission statements and the literature of CSR to reveal a two-pronged approach to community engagement: external outreach and internal regulations. External outreach represents traditional outreach strategies (i.e. orchestras in community concerts). Internal regulations differ in that orchestras design internal policies and procedures within the business model to welcome diversity into the organization. (e.g. advisory councils and fellowships). CSR analysis was applied to ninety-seven orchestral engagement departments to determine program impact as either transactional, transitional, or transformational. Findings revealed that traditional orchestral engagement forms a ‘pipeline’ from transactional to transitional but fails to create significant transformational engagement. The author of this paper proposes a new model of pipeline engagement based off the for U.S. orchestras: The Sonata-Allegro Methods of Engagement. (S.A.M.E.)
The First 100 Days: Leadership Strategies for First-Time Artistic Directors in Regional Theatre
Creators: name: Bridges, Jacob

subject: Performing arts

description: In today’s American regional theatre, artistic directors are primarily tasked with the determination and pursuit of the organization’s artistic vision. However, few development opportunities or teachings exist to adequately prepare oneself for the top artistic role. This is especially evident when a leader takes the role for the first time. Additionally, first-time artistic directors, like leaders in almost every sector, face pressure to perform right away especially in the first 100 days. This research seeks to uncover the information first-time artistic directors need to succeed both in the short and long term. With a well-planned and intentional first 100 days action plan, these artistic leaders can combat this lack of information and chart a path for organizational success.

SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES FOR NONPROFIT MUSEUMS DURING FINANCIAL DOWNTURNS
Creators: name: Eberwein, Emilia
Publisher: name: American University

description: “Sustainability strategies for nonprofit museums during financial downturns” analyzes data surrounding the Great Recession and also surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic to explore museum strategies and outcomes. Three nonprofit museums from Berkshire County serve as case studies: The Berkshire Museum, Norman Rockwell Museum, and MASS MoCA. Each museum’s strategy is assessed for its contribution to sustainability, finding many overlaps across the two crises. The paper concludes that nonprofit museums can prepare for financial downturn by building an operating reserve, engaging with the community, and curating exhibits that reflect what is happening in the world.
title: Facilitation Of Phonological Awareness In Three And Four Year Old Children
Creators: name: Innes, Sara Lynn
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: This study investigated the effect of a short-term facilitation programme aimed at increasing the phonological awareness of pre-school, pre-literate children between three-and-a half and four-and-a-half years of age.

 Forty-eight subjects were assessed both before and after a four-week intervention phase on four measures of metaphonological ability as well as measures of metasyntactic ability, auditory memory, auditory discrimination.

 Following the pre-intervention assessments, subjects were allocated to one of three groups. Groups A, B and C each containing sixteen subjects and matched for age, gender, social background and linguistic ability.

 Group A received a programme specifically designed to facilitate metaphonological abilities in 8 half-hour sessions. The first control group (Group B) received the same amount of input with a programme targeting semantics instead. Group C, the second control group, received no intervention.

 The increase in mean combined metaphonological score from pre- to post-intervention testing for Group A was significantly greater than for either Group B or Group C while the two control groups did not significantly differ from one another. No significant difference was found amongst the three groups for any other measures. No statistically significant difference was found amongst Groups A, B and C tor any of the preintervention assessment measures.

 The results suggest that the metaphonological intervention programme significantly influenced the metaphonological abilities of a group of three and four year old children while the control conditions had no such effect. Although previous studies have obtained similar results, they have all involved older pre-school or school-age children. The present study provides evidence that a metaphonological intervention programme could benefit young pre-school, pre-literate children in their preparation for school and their pursuit of reading readiness.

 Pre-school children have disparate levels of metaphonological ability having had different metaphonological experiences. Not all children are equally ready to develop literacy skills when they start school. Children with poor phonological awareness, especially those with delayed or disordered language, are thought to be at risk of future reading difficulties and would particularly benefit from pre-school metaphonological intervention.

description: We present a method to produce superconducting tips to be used in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy/Spectroscopy experiments. We use these tips to investigate the evolution of the electronic density of states of NbSe2 from 0.3K up to its critical temperature (7.2K). The use of a superconducting tip (Pb) as ounterelectrode provides an enhancement of the different features related to the DOS of NbSe2 in the tunneling conductance curves, along all the studied thermal range. The analysis of the experimental results gives evidence of the presence of multiband superconductivity in NbSe2.

description: The following report outlines the interdisciplinary process that our group will undertake in order to determine possible improvements to the UBC Botanical Garden. This report will analyze the background requirements and mandates set forth by the UBC Botanical Garden, and will provide a series of detailed project milestones. In addition, this document will provide extensive conceptual designs and process considerations for areas pertaining to water runoff, garden accessibility and attractions. Further still, given the financial stipulations attached to the following project, an incremental implementation process will be detailed for a variety of key milestone projects which would address major areas of improvement in the garden. Primary to the botanical garden’s mandate is that the categorization and integrity of the flora and fauna be maintained. As such, all proposed conceptual designs and additions will aim to improve patronage while minimizing the impact on the garden’s operation. All major conceptual designs will provide generalized scheduling for a one, five and ten year time frame to allow the botanical garden administration to partially implement any improvements put forward in this report. In order to gain further insight into the benefits of the conceptual designs within the report, general feasibility studies and case studies of other garden installations will be looked at and discussed briefly as well.
