Wave attractors and the asymptotic dissipation rate of tidal disturbances

description: Linear waves in bounded inviscid fluids do not generally form normal modes with regular eigenfunctions. Examples are provided by inertial waves in a rotating fluid contained in a spherical annulus, and internal gravity waves in a stratified fluid contained in a tank with a non-rectangular cross-section. For wave frequencies in the ranges of interest, the inviscid linearized equations are spatially hyperbolic and their characteristic rays are typically focused on to wave attractors. When these systems experience periodic forcing, for example of tidal origin, the response of the fluid can become localized in the neighbourhood of a wave attractor. In this paper I define a prototypical problem of this form and construct analytically the long-term response to a periodic body force in the asymptotic limit of small viscosity. The vorticity of the fluid is localized in a detached shear layer close to the wave attractor in such a way that the total rate of dissipation of energy is asymptotically independent of the viscosity. I further demonstrate that the same asymptotic dissipation rate is obtained if a non-viscous damping force is substituted for the Navier-Stokes viscosity. I discuss the application of these results to the problem of tidal forcing in giant planets and stars, where the excitation and dissipation of inertial waves may make a dominant, or at least important, contribution to the orbital and spin evolution.

description: Measurements by the STAR collaboration of neutral pion production at large Feynman x (x_F) in the first polarized proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV were reported previously. Cross sections measured at $η=3.3$, 3.8 and 4.0 are found to be consistent with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations. The analyzing power is consistent with zero at negative x_F and at positive x_F up to ~0.3, then grows more positive with increasing x_F. This behavior can be described by phenomenological models including the Sivers effect, the Collins effect or higher twist contributions in the initial and final states. Forward calorimetry at STAR has been extended, and there are plans for further expansion. An integrated luminosity of 6.8 pb^${-1}$ with average beam polarization of 60% from online polarimetry measurements was sampled with the upgraded FPD in the 2006 RHIC run. This data sample will allow for a detailed map of the π^0 analyzing power over kinematic variables bounded by 0.3 < x_F < 0.6 and 1.2 < p_T < 5.0 GeV/c at $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV. The expanded FPD has observed multi-photon final states expected to have "jet-like" characteristics. The transverse spin dependence of jet-like events can discriminate between the Collins and Sivers effects and lead to further progress in understanding the origin of single spin asymmetries in forward particle production. Data were also obtained at $\sqrt{s}=62.4$ GeV for x_F -> 1 to test predictions based on phenomenological fits to earlier STAR results. Recent results, the status of the analysis of 2006 run data and near-term plans will be discussed.

description: We solve a hot twisted Eguchi-Kawai model with only timelike plaquettes in the deconfined phase, by computing the quadratic quantum fluctuations around the classical vacuum. The solution of the model has some novel features: the eigenvalues of the time-like link variable are separated in L bunches, if L is the number of links of the original lattice in the time direction, and each bunch obeys a Wigner semicircular distribution of eigenvalues. This solution becomes unstable at a critical value of the coupling constant, where it is argued that a condensation of classical solutions takes place. This can be inferred by comparison with the heat-kernel model in the hamiltonian limit, and the related Douglas-Kazakov phase transition in QCD2. As a byproduct of our solution, we can reproduce the dependence of the coupling constant from the parameter describing the asymmetry of the lattice, in agreement with previous results by Karsch.

Exploring Predictors of Readmission for Pediatric Psychiatric Inpatients
Creators: name: Kagabo, Robert
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Hospital readmission of pediatric populations with mental or psychiatric illness who have received a prior inpatient experience is a public health concern. Unfortunately, there are many researchers, practitioners, or policy makers who do not recognize this readmission issue as a public health concern. The nonrecognition maybe primarily because little research has been done about pediatric psychiatric readmission and especially predictors of such readmissions. There is a need to identify predictors of these readmissions to assist practitioners and researchers to design interventions that could be used to minimize these readmissions. In this study, we use data from an academic psychiatric hospital, namely the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute (UNI), to explore predictors of pediatric readmissions. These data are for those children and adolescents who were inpatients between 1999 and 2010. We begin with a description of pediatric inpatients seen at an academic psychiatric hospital. The description includes variables such as: the most common diagnoses of the admitted patients, sex and age break down, the hospital length of stay, readmission patterns, discharge dispositions, and the most common ways that patients' care is paid for. The description is necessary to identify the independent variables that are used in the major part of the study of identifying the predictors of readmission. Logistic regression models are used in the second part of the study with readmission as the dependent variable. The third part of the study includes use of iv Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and Statistical Control Processes to further investigate the association between hospital length of stay and readmission. The major findings of the study are that the diagnosis is the major predictor of the readmissions. The influence of other independent variables significantly decreases with the introduction of the specific diagnosis. For the majority of the diagnoses, increase or decrease of length of stay does not predict readmissions. To understand psychiatric illness and readmission among pediatric populations, diagnoses should be viewed individually and not all categorized as if they were one disease.

description: We report updated results for $\varepsilon_K$, the indirect CP violation parameter in neutral kaons, which is evaluated directly from the standard model with lattice QCD inputs. We use lattice QCD inputs to fix $\bar{B}_K$, $|V_{cb}|$, $ξ_0$, $ξ_2$, $|V_{us}|$, and $m_c(m_c)$. Since Lattice 2016, the UTfit group has updated the Wolfenstein parameters in the angle-only-fit method, and the HFLAV group has also updated $|V_{cb}|$. Our results show that the evaluation of $\varepsilon_K$ with exclusive $|V_{cb}|$ (lattice QCD inputs) has $4.0σ$ tension with the experimental value, while that with inclusive $|V_{cb}|$ (heavy quark expansion based on OPE and QCD sum rules) shows no tension.

description: We characterise the learning of a mixture of two clouds of data points with generic centroids via empirical risk minimisation in the high dimensional regime, under the assumptions of generic convex loss and convex regularisation. Each cloud of data points is obtained via a double-stochastic process, where the sample is obtained from a Gaussian distribution whose variance is itself a random parameter sampled from a scalar distribution $\varrho$. As a result, our analysis covers a large family of data distributions, including the case of power-law-tailed distributions with no covariance, and allows us to test recent "Gaussian universality" claims. We study the generalisation performance of the obtained estimator, we analyse the role of regularisation, and we analytically characterise the separability transition.

description: We propose a communication-assisted local-hidden-variable model that yields the correct outcome for the measurement of any product of Pauli operators on an arbitrary graph state, i.e., that yields the correct global correlation among the individual measurements in the Pauli product. Within this model, communication is restricted to a single round of message passing between adjacent nodes of the graph. We show that any model sharing some general properties with our own is incapable, for at least some graph states, of reproducing the expected correlations among all subsets of the individual measurements. The ability to reproduce all such correlations is found to depend on both the communication distance and the symmetries of the communication protocol.
description: 9 pages, 2 figures. Version 2 significantly revised. Now includes a site-invariant protocol for linear chains and a proof that no limited communication protocol can correctly predict all quantum correlations for rings

description: We present atmospheric parameters for a large sample of DA white dwarfs that are known to be photometrically constant. For each star, we determine the effective temperature and surface gravity by comparing high signal-to-noise ratio optical spectra to the predictions of detailed model atmosphere calculations. We also report the successful prediction and detection of photometric variability in G232-38 based on similar Teff and log g determinations. The atmospheric parameters derived for this sample of constant stars as well as those for the known sample of bright ZZ Ceti stars (now boosted to a total of 39) have been obtained in a highly homogeneous way. We combine them to study the empirical red and blue edges as well as the purity of the ZZ Ceti instability strip. We find that the red edge is rather well constrained whereas there exists a rather large range of possibilities for the slope of the blue edge. Furthermore, the ZZ Ceti instability strip that results from our analysis contains no nonvariable white dwarfs. Our sample of constant stars is part of a much broader spectroscopic survey of bright (V < 17) DA white dwarfs, which we have recently undertaken. We also present here some preliminary results of this survey. Finally, we revisit the analysis by Mukadam et al. of the variable and nonvariable DA stars uncovered as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Their erroneous conclusion of an instability strip containing several nonvariable stars is traced back to the low signal-to-noise ratio spectroscopic observations used in that survey.

description: Measurements of double helicity asymmetries for inclusive hadron production in polarized proton-proton collisions are sensitive to spin-dependent parton distribution functions, in particular to the gluon distribution, Delta g. This study presents the double helicity asymmetry and the cross section for eta production. The cross section measurement yields valuable data for the extraction of the fragmentation functions, which are unknown at present but are a prerequisite for the extraction of the spin-dependent parton distribution functions.

Exploring Relationships Between Horizontal Curve Roadway Departure Crashes and Geometric Design Consistency on Rural, Two-Lane Highway

description: In 2014, there were 17,791 fatalities as a result of roadway departure crashes in the U.S., representing 54% of all traffic fatalities in the U.S. Roadway departure crashes account for approximately 52%of traffic fatalities in the state of Utah. A significant number of roadway departure crashes occur on horizontal curves along rural, two-lane highways. Previous research has indicated that providing "consistent" designs that are compatible with driver expectations and capabilities can reduce the number of roadway departure crashes at these locations. Various measures of design consistency have been proposed to quantify the levels by which a road design meets driver expectations and capabilities, including speed differentials, alignment indices, and visual demand/work load estimates. Among them, alignment indices have been proven as direct design consistency measures to analyze crash frequency. The objective of this research was to estimate relationships between the expected frequency of horizontal curve roadway departure crashes and geometric design consistency, characterized by using alignment indices along rural, two-lane highways in Utah. Negative binomial and zero-inflated negative binomial regression models were estimated which relate expected frequencies of roadway departure crashes to design and traffic characteristics of the rural, two-lane road segments. The dataset consists of 578 horizontal curves with corresponding design and traffic information, as well as characteristics of the upstream and downstream tangents and curves. Horizontal alignment indices, curve lengths, average daily traffic volumes (ADTs), and general geometric variables were tested in the model specifications. To build the dataset for model estimation, roadway features were gathered along rural, two-lane state routes in Utah using the Utah Department of Transportation's LIDAR files. Crash data were also provided by the Utah Department of Transportation for these same routes and spanned the years 2008 through 2014. Eventually, the best two models were explored in this study. One model included the following parameters: the natural logarithm of average annual daily traffic, the changed radius rate, vertical curvature change rate, maximum change in degree of curvature, indicator variable for the presence of a vertical curve on a horizontal curve, and average grade. The other model had the same variables as the first model, but the ratio of average radius over radii replaced the changed radius rate and the average change in degree of curvature replaced the maximum change in degree of curvature.
Expanding SELEX Technology to Engineer Functional Nucleic Acids Optimized for the Development of Small-molecule Biosensors

description: The development of systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment, or SELEX, in 1990 propelled interest in nucleic acid engineering. The ability of nucleic acids to undergo directed evolution has resulted in the widespread interest in the development of aptamers, or single stranded nucleic acids that possess affinity to a specific target molecule. Aptamers exist to diverse classes of molecules, and because of their versatility are being regarded as robust recognition elements for a variety of biotechnology applications. Further, the small-molecule harnessing potential of aptamers has shown great promise for the development of biosensors. Importantly, traditional selection methods can be expanded upon to enable the generation of functional nucleic acids which are optimized for biosensing platforms. Novel SELEX methods are a powerful tool to develop innovative technologies for detection and imaging using aptamer-based biosensors. Our lab has contributed to a variety of areas within this field including the use of ribozymes as a tag for intracellular imaging of RNA. We have designed a novel IP-SELEX method which allows for the generation of ribozymes that are capable of performing a reaction to covalently attach a small-molecule fluorophore to itself (Chapter 2). We show that this ribozyme can label in cellular conditions and hold great promise as a genetically encodable tag for live cell labeling of mRNA. We have also developed a new class of small-molecule sensors through the evolution of nucleic acids with noncanonical backbone structures, or xeno nucleic acids (XNA). XNA molecules have many advantageous properties because of their noncanonical structures, notably nuclease resistance. Using our unique method, optimized by the use of an XNA primer, we were able generate the first artificial genetic polymers capable of small-molecule recognition (Chapter 3). We discovered threose nucleic acid (TNA) aptamers with affinity for a small-molecule mycotoxin (OTA). We show that these aptamers have outstanding biostability in the presence of nucleases and retain the ability to bind the target in these environments. We acknowledge the potential for structure-switching (SS) aptamer biosensors as a privileged architecture for small-molecule detection and the development of fluorescence assays. We propose an innovative technique for the direct selection of SS biosensors, in which we take advantage of both restriction digests and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as key steps to eliminate nonfunctional sequences. Importantly, because amplification simultaneously serves as the selection step there is no requirement for a solid support. We anticipate this will overcome the limitations of bead-based selection methods and enable for efficient and effective generation of SS biosensors.

description: The exchange of collective modes has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool for inducing superconductivity and superfluidity in various condensed matter and atomic systems. In this article, we study the mediated interactions of collective excitations in an ultracold gas of hard-core bosons. We show that the induced interaction supports two-body states with energies, symmetries, and a number of bound states strongly dependent on the properties of the hard-core boson gas. The ability to control the nature of the two-body bound states motivates the study of superfluid phases, which we address within the BKT theory. We demonstrate how the superfluid parameters and critical temperatures can be tuned in our system. Our findings may pave the way for future theoretical and experimental studies with ultracold gases and solid-state systems.

description: In this study, three kinds of modified basalt fibre (MBF) were used as biofilm carrier to treat wastewater, mainly for the removal of organic matter and nutrient pollutants, which was evaluated the feasibility of modification by pollutants removal performance. Polydopamine modified basalt fibre (PAD-BF) via the surface coating method were obtained. Polyacrylamide modified basalt fibre (PAM-BF) and maleic anhydride-modified basalt fibre (MAH-BF) via the surface grafting method were prepared. The surface physicochemical properties, biomass attachment capacity and pollutants removal efficiency of MBF were systematically investigated. Electron microscope scanning (SEM) revealed that the surface roughness of BF was obviously improved by modification. Besides, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) suggested that the MBF had more surface-active functional groups. The results of sludge immobilization tests showed that PDA/PAM/MAH-BF had higher bio-affinity than ordinary BF with 1.5∼2.3 times on immobilization ratio of microorganisms (IRM). Furthermore, the performances of PDA/PAM/MAH-BF as biofilm carrier for pollutants were significantly higher than that of ordinary BF group. Among them, the highest removal efficiency of COD in PAD-BF biofilm reactor was 95.29 ± 0.99%, while that of BF group was 86.30 ± 3.09%. PAM-BF group had the best removal effect of nutrients with the removal efficiency of 90.83 ± 7.69% for TP and 91.25 ± 6.43% for TN, respectively, while the removal rate of BF group was only about 70%. The improvement of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the MBF reactors was consistent with the enhancement of contaminant removal. Therefore, PDA/PAM/MAH-BF can be used as promising biological carrier fillers in wastewater treatment engineering.

description: There is a close connection between various new phenomena in Weyl semimetals and the existence of linear band crossings in the single particle description. We show, by a full self-consistent mean-field calculation, how this picture is modified in the presence of long-range Coulomb interactions. The chiral symmetry breaking occurs at strong enough interactions and the internode interband excitonic pairing channel is found to be significant, which determines the gap-opened band profile varying with interaction strength. Remarkably, in the resultant interacting phase, finite band Chern number jumps in the three-dimensional momentum space are retained, indicating the robustness of the topologically nontrivial features.

description: Due to the tremendous progress of modern medicine, more people are surviving cancer. A cancer diagnosis no longer connotes the end of life, but instead, a change in life. Recently, middle age and older adults with hematological cancer have become eligible for treatment with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo HCT), enabling them to survive their underlying cancer diagnosis. While some individuals fully recover from allo HCT, up to two thirds of allo HCT recipients develop new-onset diabetes. While research has been conducted on the physiological effect diabetes has on HCT outcomes, there is a knowledge gap regarding middle age and older adults' psychosocial response to the condition. The objective of this qualitative study was to explore the psychosocial experience of developing new-onset diabetes after allo HCT. Nineteen participants above 50 years of age were interviewed. Qualitative data generated through interviews were analyzed using constructivist grounded theory methods. The result was the mid-range theory of dealing with new-onset diabetes as a long-term effect of allo HCT. This theory had 4 stages; 1) finding out about diabetes, 2) formulating an understanding of diabetes in relation to cancer, 3) formulating a diabetes identity, and 4) dealing with diabetes after allo HCT. Three distinct patterns of movement through these stages emerged, depending on how participants recovered from their allo HCT. The first pattern occurred in the group of participants with no or minimal after allo HCT complications. The second pattern was seen in the group with episodic complications, iv and the third in those with ongoing complications. Two primary factors were responsible for these differences of moving through the stages, and ultimately, whether participants adapted to new-onset diabetes: the amount of treatment-related work and the perceptions of diabetes. The group with minimal complications was able to understand, identify, and integrate diabetes into their lives, while those with ongoing complications experienced barriers to socially constructing and identifying with their type of diabetes, and were subsequently unable to integrate diabetes into their lives. This mid-range theory provides a working framework for the development of clinical and educational interventions specific to this patient population.

description: We define a programming language independent controller TaCtl for multi-level transactions and an operator $TA$, which when applied to concurrent programs with multi-level shared locations containing hierarchically structured complex values, turns their behavior with respect to some abstract termination criterion into a transactional behavior. We prove the correctness property that concurrent runs under the transaction controller are serialisable, assuming an Inverse Operation Postulate to guarantee recoverability. For its applicability to a wide range of programs we specify the transaction controller TaCtl and the operator $TA$ in terms of Abstract State Machines (ASMs). This allows us to model concurrent updates at different levels of nested locations in a precise yet simple manner, namely in terms of partial ASM updates. It also provides the possibility to use the controller TaCtl and the operator $TA$ as a plug-in when specifying concurrent system components in terms of sequential ASMs.

description: We investigate the time evolution of Gaussian wave packet (GWP) in the tight-binding chain with uniform nearest neighbor (NN) hopping integral. Analytical analysis and numerical simulations show that the fractional revival of the quantum state occurs in such system, i.e., at appropriate time, a GWP can evolve into many copies of the initial state at different positions. The application of this quantum phenomenon to the scheme of quantum information transfer in solid-state system is discussed.

description: Decoy-state methods [1-3] are essential to perform quantum key distribution (QKD) at large distances in the absence of single photon sources. However, the standard techniques apply only if laser pulses are used that are independent and identically distributed (iid). Moreover, they require that the laser pulses are fully phase-randomised. However, realistic high-speed QKD setups do not meet these stringent requirements [4]. In this work, we generalise decoy-state analysis to accommodate laser sources that emit imperfectly phase-randomised states. We also develop theoretical tools to prove the security of protocols with lasers that emit pulses that are independent, but not identically distributed. These tools can be used with recent work [5] to prove the security of laser sources with correlated phase distributions as well. We quantitatively demonstrate the effect of imperfect phase-randomisation on key rates by computing the key rates for a simple implementation of the three-state protocol.

description: This study investigates the performance of two open source intrusion detection systems (IDSs) namely Snort and Suricata for accurately detecting the malicious traffic on computer networks. Snort and Suricata were installed on two different but identical computers and the performance was evaluated at 10 Gbps network speed. It was noted that Suricata could process a higher speed of network traffic than Snort with lower packet drop rate but it consumed higher computational resources. Snort had higher detection accuracy and was thus selected for further experiments. It was observed that the Snort triggered a high rate of false positive alarms. To solve this problem a Snort adaptive plug-in was developed. To select the best performing algorithm for Snort adaptive plug-in, an empirical study was carried out with different learning algorithms and Support Vector Machine (SVM) was selected. A hybrid version of SVM and Fuzzy logic produced a better detection accuracy. But the best result was achieved using an optimised SVM with firefly algorithm with FPR (false positive rate) as 8.6% and FNR (false negative rate) as 2.2%, which is a good result. The novelty of this work is the performance comparison of two IDSs at 10 Gbps and the application of hybrid and optimised machine learning algorithms to Snort.

description: To understand the process of speciation, evolutionary biologists have traditionally researched extant groups of organisms that have undergone adaptive radiation. Studying speciation in this way relies on inferences about past selective events that have shaped contemporary patterns of diversification. A complimentary approach to studying speciation is to experimentally evolve an adaptive radiation from a single population to examine the initial processes driving adaptive divergence. In my dissertation, I used feather lice ( Columbicola columbae) and their avian hosts (Columba livia ) to examine the earliest stages of adaptive radiation. I used domesticated pigeon breeds that vary in size and color as divergent habitats in which to experimentally evolve a single species of feather louse. The first part of my dissertation explored two aspects of host behavior that may be important defenses against lice. First, I tested if the effectiveness of preening improves with experience. I found that pigeons removed about the same number of lice regardless of prior experience. I then tested for an ectoparasite control function of allopreening. My data suggest that allopreening is, indeed, important for ectoparasite control. The remainder of my dissertation focuses on adaptation by lice to new hosts. Specifically, I examined changes in three phenotypic traits of feather lice: louse color, louse size, and louse behavior. First, I explored the evolution of cryptic coloration in lice. I showed that lice transferred to white pigeons evolved significantly lighter coloration than those on darker pigeons. Second, I tested whether louse size is also an adaptation for avoiding host defense. I found that when lice were transferred to larger pigeons they evolved larger size. However, lice transferred to smaller pigeons did not get smaller; instead, these lice altered their behavior to escape preening. I then further explored these changes in louse behavior and found that lice shifted microhabitat when transferred to smaller hosts. However, the direction and magnitude of this shift depended on the preening ecology of their host. Finally, I showed that increases in louse body size on larger hosts directly affects louse mating success. My work demonstrates how local adaptation can drive diversification among host-specific parasites.
