description: In the past years several authors studied the abundance of satellites around galaxies in order to better estimate the halo masses of host galaxies. To investigate this connection, we analyze galaxies with $M_\mathrm{star}\geq\,10^{10}\,M_{\odot}$ from the hydrodynamical cosmological simulation Magneticum. We find that the satellite fraction of centrals is independent of their morphology. With the exception of very massive galaxies at low redshift, our results do not support the assumption that the dark matter (DM) haloes of spheroidal galaxies are significantly more massive than those of disc galaxies at fixed $M_\mathrm{star}$. We show that the density-morphology-relation starts to build up at $z\sim2$ and is independent of the star-formation properties of central galaxies. We conclude that environmental quenching is more important for satellites than for centrals. Our simulations indicate that conformity is already in place at $z=2$, where formation redshift and current star-formation rate (SFR) of central and satellite galaxies correlate. Centrals with low SFRs have formed earlier (at fixed $M_\mathrm{star}$) while centrals with high SFR formed later, with typical formation redshifts well in agreement with observations. However, we confirm the recent observations that the apparent number of satellites of spheroidal galaxies is significantly larger than for disc galaxies. This difference completely originates from the inclusion of companion galaxies, i.e. galaxies that do not sit in the potential minimum of a DM halo. Thus, due to the density-morphological-relation the number of satellites is not a good tracer for the halo mass, unless samples are restricted to the central galaxies of DM haloes.

description: The maximum efficiency of silicon photovoltaic cell is not 31% but 74%. Collecting hot carriers before they thermalize is a means to achieve this. In this regard, amorphous semiconductors are potentially useful materials. Nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) is unique in that carriers of wide energy distribution generated in amorphous regions may be in range of crystalline regions. These carriers can benefit from higher mobility and a lesser probability of thermalization. The motivation behind this project is to determine whether hot-carrier transfer occurs in thin-film nc-Si:H, and thus provide a potential material for hot carrier collection.
Identifying and Analysing Protostellar Disc Fragments in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Simulations

description: We present a new method of identifying protostellar disc fragments in a simulation based on density derivatives, and analyse our data using this and the existing CLUMPFIND method, which is based on an ordered search over all particles in gravitational potential energy. Using smoothed particle hydrodynamics, we carry out 9 simulations of a $0.25$ M$_{\odot}$ disc around a 1 M$_{\odot}$ star, all of which fragment to form at least 2 bound objects. We find that when using all particles ordered in gravitational potential space, only fragments that survive the duration of the simulation are detected. When we use the density derivative method, all fragments are detected, so the two methods are complementary, as using the two methods together allows us to identify all fragments, and to then determine those that are likely to be destroyed. We find a tentative empirical relationship between the dominant azimuthal wavenumber in the disc $m$ and the maximum semi-major axis a fragment may achieve in a simulation, such that $a_{\mathrm{max}}\propto\frac{1}{m}$. We find the fragment destruction rate to be around half that predicted from population synthesis models. This is due to fragment-fragment interactions in the early gas phase of the disc, which can cause scattering and eccentricity pumping on short timescales, and affects the fragment's internal structure. We therefore caution that measurements of eccentricity as a function of semi-major axis may not necessarily constrain the formation mechanism of giant planets and brown dwarfs.

description: Academic research models for Chesapeake Bay have, traditionally, been forced with USGS inputs, flows and nutrient loads from 10 major rivers. These tributaries fail to account for 100% of the inputs entering the Bay. In contrast, models used for determining Total Maximum Daily Load for Chesapeake Bay are forced with output from a watershed model at thousands of locations, presumably, accounting for all these inputs. Our aim is to increase understanding of the impacts different forcing schemes have on water quality model simulation. Simulations were completed using three forcing approaches: 1) using “traditional” USGS-derived input from 10 major rivers; 2) using “concentrated” input from 10 major rivers derived from watershed model output; and 3) using “diffuse” input from 1117 rivers derived from watershed model output. Comparisons of these schemes revealed large impacts on simulations in Chesapeake Bay during periods of high flow and extreme weather events under diffuse forcing.
High Quality Biosolids: Assessment of Nitrogen Mineralization and Potential for Improving Highway Soils

description: Biosolids production is increasing with increase in human population. Over the years, the quality of biosolids has been improving with the upgrading of most wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) as dictated by a need to meet discharge limits in receiving water bodies. Applying biosolids to agricultural soils to improve crop production has been practiced for decades. With increased regulation on land application in agricultural lands, biosolids industry has been exploring ways to use biosolids in specific situations such as highway roadside soils to improve soil properties. Roadside soils are known to be compacted and contaminated due to vehicular traffic and typically have low organic matter and nutrients. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of high quality biosolids (i.e. Bloom) to improve soil physical and chemical properties. Results showed that Bloom and its mixture can significantly improve soil bulk density and hydraulic conductivity. Bloom-amended soils had a higher nitrogen mineralization rate than the control (2.45 times faster in simulated roadside soil and 1.21 times faster in agricultural soil) and compost amended soil. Further, soils amended with cured Bloom had relatively slower N mineralization than those applied with uncured Bloom since the curing process will decrease organic matter (OM) content and facilitate the loss of N as ammonium. The take home message is that bloom is more effective than inorganic fertilizer in terms of improving soil physical properties for roadside soils and bloom mixed with sand and sawdust is more effective than pure bloom. Bloom addition can significantly increase soil organic nitrogen mineralization. Further study and analysis will be needed to conclude on the effect of deer compost on soil physical properties and the mineralization rate of Orgro amended soil.

description: In order to address the challenges in the infusion of climate change science into high school and community college renewable energy course offerings, this study focused on administrators and faculty of community colleges and high schools. Nineteen community college and four high school instructors in a Sustainable Energy Education Training (S.E.E.T.) workshop were interviewed regarding the challenges of designing courses that include climate change. The interviews addressed barriers and opportunities for effective integration of climate change as a dimension of any energy curriculum and the need for renewable energy as a solution and potentially important part of a world energy portfolio.

description: When a horizontal resistive wire is heated up to the boiling point in a subcooled liquid bath, some vapor bubbles nucleate on its surface. Traditional nucleate boiling theory predicts that bubbles generated from active nucleate sites, grow up and depart from the heating surface due to buoyancy and inertia. However, we observed here a different behavior: the bubbles slide along the heated wire. In this situation, unexpected regimes are observed; from the simple sliding motion to bubble clustering. We noticed that bubbles could rapidly change their moving direction and may also interact. Finally, we propose an interpretation for both the attraction between the bubbles and the wire and for the motion of the bubbles on the wire in term of Marangoni effects.

description: The bilayered member of the Ruddesden-Popper family of ruthenates, Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$, has received an increasing attention due to its interesting properties and phases. By using first principle calculations we find that the ground-state is characterized by a ferromagnetic (FM) half-metallic state. This state strongly competes with an antiferromagnetic metallic phase, which indicates the possible presence of a particular state characterized by the existence of different magnetic domains. To drive the system towards a phase transition we studied the electronic and magnetic properties as a function of RuO$_6$ octahedra rotations and found that the magnetic phase does not couple with the rotation angle. Our results provide accurate electronic, structure, and magnetic ground-state properties of Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ and stimulate the investigation of other type of octahedra rotations and distortions in the search of phase transitions.

description: The present study tests a protective factor which may mitigate the negative impact of test anxiety on academic outcomes. This study examines ethnic and racial identity as a moderator of the impact of test anxiety on grades and academic ability self-concept among African American adolescents. The study relies on the existing longitudinal Maryland Adolescent Development in Context Study (MADICS) dataset, a public use dataset collected from 1991-2000. The subsample consists of 533 African American youths in Wave 3 and 399 African American youths in Wave 4. The present study uses two waves of data from participants aged 13 to 18. This study employs self-reported questionnaires of test anxiety, ethnic and racial identity, grades, and academic ability self-concept. Moderation analyses are conducted to test ethnic and racial identity as a protective factor mitigating the impact of test anxiety on later grades and academic ability self-concept, while adjusting for gender, socioeconomic status, and age. Results indicate that ethnic and racial identity moderated the relation between test anxiety and GPA, such that the lower the level of ethnic and racial identity, the more protective it becomes. Discussion centers on potential causes for the unexpected trend in moderation.

description: The increased demand for energy calls for the development of new approaches towards renewable energy sources. Solar energy is one of the most abundant energy resources that can be converted to thermal, chemical and electrical energy. The demand to increase solar energy production to the terra watt level motivated our project, and our research focused on better efficiency of photovoltaics. Silicon is the most developed semi-conductor in the world and because it has been well studied, techniques to manipulate and control its properties have been well established. Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition was employed as our method of synthesis. Passivation using chemistries containing alkyl chains promote Si-C bonds close to the surface area. Functionalizing these quantum dots will prevent the unwanted oxide layer and also decrease electron hole recombination rates. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)- 1H and 13C - was utilized as a characterization tool to quantify and determine the degree of passivation of the synthesized quantum dots. Passivated samples were subjected to proton and carbon experiments to obtain structural information of the product. The obtained spectras show passivation of the desired ligand occurred with minimal impurities and contamination. Conductivity and photoluminescence results will also be correlated with the NMR data.

description: The ability to easily and efficiently align nanorods would improve solar cells and sensors by leaps and bounds. We choose Au nanorods as a model system and studied their alignment under an electric field. The alignment of semiconductor nanorods perpendicular to the substrate has been previously accomplished using evaporation techniques and DC voltage, yet vertical uniform alignment of Au nanorods has not been achieved. Thus, we decided to experiment with AC voltage to find a frequency and voltage equilibrium that would align the rods perpendicularly on substrate.
Seismic Resilience Study of Steel Concentrically Braced Frame Structure with Dual Viscous and Metallic Hysteretic Damper

description: Steel concentrically braced frames（CBF）are popular seismic resistant structural systems widely used all over the world due to their high elastic stiffness and moderate ductility for many decades. However, conventional CBFs are subject to soft-story damage pattern which may lead to collapse caused by overly large drift concentrated in one story in strong earthquakes; measures to enhance the seismic resilience of CBFs is thus desirable. This study looks into quantifying the seismic resilience of CBFs with and without dual-action damping devices by following the newly released 2018 ed. FEMA P58 procedure. The dual-action damping device includes a viscous damper and metallic hysteretic dampers which are activated at different timing: viscous damper always active and effective in controlling story drift during small and moderate earthquakes, while metallic hysteretic dampers are activated only when the story drift exceeds a pre-specified value during strong earthquakes. A six-story steel CBF and a three-story steel CBF buildings designed by SAC Steel Project research (1999) are adopted as prototype building to demonstrate the effectiveness of dual-action damping device in enhancing the seismic resilience of CBFs. Nonlinear static analyses as well as nonlinear time-history analysis are performed to obtain the Engineering Demand Perimeters (EDP) required for seismic resilience evaluation. Collapse Fragility is developed based on incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) by SPO2IDA Tool. The distribution function of Decision Variables (DV), including Repair cost, Repair time, Casualties etc., is obtained through Monte-Carlo simulation of prior nonlinear time-history analysis EDP by Performance Assessment Calculation Tool (PACT). It is found from this study that the Collapse Risk and the Potential Loss of the prototype structure with dampers have been significantly reduced, suggesting the dual-action damping device provides a beneficial alternative for enhancing the seismic resilience of CBFs.

description: Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) planarizes and polishes semiconducting materials commonly used in microelectronics. The CMP process depends highly on the slurry composition, particle size and concentration, pH, and added chemicals, which determine the slurry's stability and effectiveness. During the CMP process, the slurry film thickness (between the polishing pad and wafer surface) can vary. It is hypothesized that particles agglomerate during the polishing process, leading to structural damages on the wafer surface (i.e., scratches, gouges, pits, etc.), which costs the semiconductor industry billions of dollars.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We examine the heterogeneous responses of individual nodes in sparse networks to the random removal of a fraction of edges. Using the message-passing formulation of percolation, we discover considerable variation across the network in the probability of a particular node to remain part of the giant component, and in the expected size of small clusters containing that node. In the vicinity of the percolation threshold, weakly non-linear analysis reveals that node-to-node heterogeneity is captured by the recently introduced notion of non-backtracking centrality. We supplement these results for fixed finite networks by a population dynamics approach to analyse random graph models in the infinite system size limit, also providing closed-form approximations for the large mean degree limit of Erdős-Rényi random graphs. Interpreted in terms of the application of percolation to real-world processes, our results shed light on the heterogeneous exposure of different nodes to cascading failures, epidemic spread, and information flow.

description: America’s public secondary educational system has long included vocational education in its curriculum (Castellano, Stringfield, & Stone, 2009; Kantor, 1986; Kantor & Lowe, 2004), but increasingly ties its markers of career and college readiness to the availability of Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses, as research has shown relationships between success in high school CTE courses and income levels after graduation (Aliaga, Kotamraju, & Stone, 2014; Kantor & Lowe, 2004, Edgar, 1988; Carnevale, Rose, & Cheah, 2013). Understanding the academic and literacy requirements of these CTE classes is an important step toward student success. This qualitative case study (Stake, 2006) of the Delaware Pathways program identifies the literacies of the participating CTE classrooms, explores how these literacies are conceptualized by program administrators and program documents, and how they are enacted by CTE teachers in classroom settings. In this study, teachers, administrators, and stakeholders were interviewed about the literacies of the CTE classes included in the Delaware Pathways program. These interviews were coded and analyzed alongside federal, national, state, district, and building-level program documents guiding the program. Findings showed the primary types of literacy experiences occurring in these classrooms, the importance of literacy in the Delaware Pathways, the effects of the education and training of CTE teachers, the need for additional special education supports, and the continued challenges of equitable CTE education.

description: Results from individual cow milk ELISAs can be used to determine herd status for Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (MAP). Milk samples for the MAP ELISA are less invasive to collect than fecal samples for MAP culture. Moreover, MAP results from the milk ELISA can be obtained quicker and at less expense than MAP results from the culture of feces. The objective of this study was to evaluate the test characteristics of the milk ELISA for determination of herd MAP status in Atlantic Canadian dairy herds. It was expected that many of the MAP-positive herds in this region had low prevalence, and it was of particular interest to evaluate the performance of the milk ELISA within these low-prevalence MAP herds.

description: Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative organism of Johne's disease. Dairy Farmers of Canada lists this production-limiting disease as one of the top two animal health priorities for the Canadian dairy industry. Infection of newborn calves from ingestion of MAP-infected feces, colostrum, or milk is considered the main route of transmission and a major concern in a herd. Current diagnostics rely on identification of the bacterium in feces via culture and molecular tests or identification of MAP antibodies in milk or serum via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). However, these tests are inadequate to meet industry needs for herd biosecurity and environmental-transmission control of MAP, especially when MAP-infected cows are in the subclinical stages of the disease. Milk ELISAs have poor predictive values due to imperfect sensitivity and specificity, especially when used in herds with a low prevalence of MAP-infected cows. Although culture of fecal samples for MAP is currently the gold standard diagnostic test for identification of MAP-infected cows, the long incubation times, costs, and intermittent shedding of MAP in feces hinder its use as an efficient screening tool. The goal of this study was to assess how shedding patterns of MAP in feces vary with lactation stage and season, as determined via direct real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.

description: The element iodine, I2, is very important to current society. It is used to make products such as film, dye, supplements, medicine and many organic compounds. The use of iodine will continue to expand in application and market use in the future. Iodide is commonly found in seawater at very low concentration. Recovery of iodide can only be economical at high concentrations, such as from mining or extraction from industrial waste. To meet the world's growing demand for iodine, more energy efficient and cost effective methods must be discovered and improved. One way to obtain this resource is through extraction of iodide present in produced water and oxidation of the iodide adsorbed on anion exchange resins.

description: The increased sensitivity of millimeter-wave facilities now makes possible the detection of low amounts of gas in debris disks. Some of the gas-rich debris disks harbor peculiar properties, with possible pristine gas and secondary generated dust. The origin of the gas in these hybrid disks is strongly debated and the current sample is too sparse to understand this phenomenon. More detections are necessary to increase the statistics on this population. Lying at the final stages of evolution of proto-planetary disks and at the beginning of the debris disk phase, these objects could provide new insight into the processes involved in the making of planetary systems. We carried out a deep survey of the 12CO(2-1) and 12CO(3-2) lines with the APEX and IRAM radiotelescopes in young debris disks selected according to hybrid disk properties. The survey is complemented with a bibliographic study of the ratio between the emission of the gas and the continuum (S_CO/F_cont) in CTTS, Herbig Ae, WTTS, hybrid, and debris disks. Our sub-mm survey comprises 25 stars, including 17 new targets, and we increase the sensitivity limit by a factor 2 on eight sources compared to similar published studies. We report a 4sigma tentative detection of a double-peaked 12CO(2-1) line around HD23642; an eclipsing binary located in the Pleiades. We also reveal a correlation between the emission of the CO gas and the dust continuum from CTTS, Herbig Ae and few debris disks. The observed trend of the gas to dust flux ratio suggests a concurrent dissipation of the dust and gas components. Hybrid disks systematically lie above this trend, suggesting that these systems may witness a transient phase, when the dust has evolved more rapidly than the gas, with a flux ratio S_CO/F_cont enhanced by a factor of between 10 and 100 compared to standard (proto-)planetary disks.

description: Phylogenetic inference based on coregenome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and recombination events identified in Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovars Dublin, Enteritidis, Pullorum and Gallinarum. The color legend corresponds to serovars presented by Langridge et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 2015;112:863–8). The variants were identified by the ‘VARCall’ workflow against the reference genome S. Enteritidis (strain P125109, accession NC_011294.1). The produced pseudogenomes (4,685,848 bp) were inferred with RAxML based on a bootstrap analysis and search for best-scoring Maximum Likelihood tree with General Time-Reversible model of substitution and the secondary structure 16-state model. The phylogenetic inference converged after 200 bootstrap replicates with a log likelihood score of −8.106 for 1000 computed trees. The tree is rooted on the branch of S. Dublin. The pseudogenomes and the RAxML inference were used to perform detection of recombination events based on default gamma priors of ClonalFrameML. The number of recombination events is defined closed to white circles which represent recombination events occurred on a branch of the phylogenetic tree. The recombination events with sizes higher than 400 bp are presented. (PDF 752 kb)
Cataclysm no more: New views on the timing and delivery of lunar impactors

description: If properly interpreted, the impact record of the Moon, Earth's nearest neighbour, can be used to gain insights into how the Earth has been influenced by impacting events since its formation ~4.5 billion years (Ga) ago. However, the nature and timing of the lunar impactors - and indeed the lunar impact record itself - are not well understood. Of particular interest are the ages of lunar impact basins and what they tell us about the proposed "lunar cataclysm" and/or the late heavy bombardment (LHB), and how this impact episode may have affected early life on Earth or other planets. Investigations of the lunar impactor population over time have been undertaken and include analyses of orbital data and images; lunar, terrestrial, and other planetary sample data; and dynamical modelling. Here, the existing information regarding the nature of the lunar impact record is reviewed and new interpretations are presented. Importantly, it is demonstrated that most evidence supports a prolonged lunar (and thus, terrestrial) bombardment from ~4.2 to 3.4 Ga and not a cataclysmic spike at ~3.9 Ga. Implications for the conditions required for the origin of life are addressed.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Baltic Sea has been exposed to severe human impacts. Apart from eutrophication and overfishing, contamination by known organic pollutants such as PAHs, PCBs and organochlorine pesticides are of major concern, even though the levels of the latter two have decreased during the past two decades. Additionally, novel scarcely known and unknown contaminants may also cause biological effects. In the EU-funded project 'Biological Effects of Environmental Pollution in marine coastal ecosystems - BEEP', we assessed to what extent Baltic cod is affected by contaminants. During a cruise in December 2001, cod were collected in the western and southern Baltic Sea, the somatic condition factor was estimated and different indicators (biomarkers) for contaminant exposure and biological effects were analysed. In addition, various PCBs and organochlorine pesticides were measured in cod liver. The results obtained demonstrate that the contaminant levels in the Baltic are likely to influence the physiology of cod: in almost all specimens analysed, hepatic EROD activity in the liver was readily measurable, and 1-OH-pyrene, a common PAH-metabolite, was detectable in bile. Both features indicate an induction of the CYP1A biotransformation system in response to toxic substances. The occurrence of DNA adducts in some of the specimens provide evidence for the presence of genotoxic substances. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was measurably inhibited, an indication of exposure to organophosphates and related compounds, particularly in specimens taken off the Polish and Lithuanian coast. In general, spatial differences in the biomarker responses as well as contaminant loads were found, suggesting differences in concentration and mixtures of organic contaminants in this ecosystem.

description: We study the irreducible components of the moduli space of instanton sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^3$, that is rank 2 torsion free sheaves $E$ with $c_1(E)=c_3(E)=0$ satisfying $h^1(E(-2))=h^2(E(-2))=0$. In particular, we classify all instanton sheaves with $c_2(E)\le4$, describing all the irreducible components of their moduli space. A key ingredient for our argument is the study of the moduli space ${\mathcal T}(d)$ of stable sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^3$ with Hilbert polynomial $P(t)=d\cdot t$, which contains, as an open subset, the moduli space of rank 0 instanton sheaves of multiplicity $d$; we describe all the irreducible components of ${\mathcal T}(d)$ for $d\le4$.

description: Graphene, a flat monolayer of carbon atoms tightly packed into a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, was first isolated in 2004. Graphene has attracted a great deal of research interest due to its many amazing properties, including its high electron transport speed which could be very useful for charge transfer in photovoltaic cells. Bulk graphene is a semimetal with zero bandgap, limiting its usages in electronic and optoelectronic devices. Graphene nanoribbons, structurally defected graphene, and other approaches have been proposed to open up a sizable bandgap, but none of these are suitable for practical devices. A recent publication reported a new semiconducting graphene nanostructure, the graphene nanomesh (GNM), created by punching a high-density array of nanoscale holes in graphene. GNMs have the potential to overcome the hurdles plaguing other nanostructures; however, the values and origin of the bandgap remain unknown.
