description: In the past few years, the Progressive Design Build (PDB) delivery method began gaining traction in the construction industry. PDB projects have been shown to be successful specifically for water/wastewater and transportation projects. However, as far as owners are concerned, two main questions still remain unanswered: (1) What are the best practices to maximize the likelihood of success in PDB projects? (2) Under which circumstances should one be using PDB as a delivery method? While owners need to understand the factors that govern project performance and the factors that impact selection of delivery methods, there is no empirical database to provide evidence for efficient decision making. Therefore, to fill this gap in the literature, this study aims to examine the impact of time of involvement, team selection, team behavior, and trust on the performance of projects delivered using the PDB method and to determine the importance of variables that impact an owner’s decision to select PDB as a delivery method for a project. This thesis reports on an empirical investigation of the performance and characteristics of projects delivered using the Progressive Design Build method by establishing a database of completed PDB projects and conducting a descriptive and multiple statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test. The significant results of the statistical analysis provide a list of best practices owners can follow to increase their chances of achieving success in PDB projects. For example, to reduce the severity of disputes in a project, it is better to wait to set the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) when the design has developed more than 60 percent. In addition, this study identified and prioritized influential variables in selecting PDB as a delivery method. This study contributes to both academia and practice. As far as academia is concerned, this study is the first attempt to establish a performance database of PDB projects. Practitioners also can benefit from the results, which identify best practices for maximizing success in PDB projects and provide guidelines for using PDB as a delivery method, based on owner and project characteristics.
NEWCLINE. Advanced thermocline concepts for thermal energy storage for concentrated solar power (CSP). Final report

description: The Newcline project aimed to develop a cost-effective thermal energy storage solution for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants by replacing traditional two-tank molten salt storage with a single thermocline tank containing a structured ceramic filler material. This innovative design sought to reduce capital (CAPEX) and operational (OPEX) costs by minimizing the amount of molten salt required. Initial estimates suggested potential savings of up to 40% for the storage subsystem, translating to 5%-10% in overall CSP plant CAPEX, depending on the plant type—Central Receiver (CR) or Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC), the two CSP type plants considered in the frame work of the project.

The project, carried out by five international partners, focused on various aspects including material development, heat transfer analysis, and dynamic simulations of the CSP system integrating the novel storage using SPF-OST's pytrnsys simulation framework. The simulations compared the thermocline storage system's performance against the conventional two-tank storage system, and parametric studies were conducted to optimize its operation. Results indicated that thermocline CSP systems generated slightly less electricity—between 70% and 100% of the electricity output of conventional two-tank storage CSP systems.

Economic analyses were conducted to evaluate the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for the systems. While PTC plants showed potential for up to 6% lower LCOE, CR plants did not demonstrate economic advantages. The project suggests thermocline systems are more suited for applications where molten salt costs are a significant investment, including smaller-scale industrial processes beyond CSP plants.

An Additive Overlapping Domain Decomposition Method for the Helmholtz Equation
Creators: name: Leng, Wei
name: Ju, Lili
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper, we propose and analyze an additive domain decomposition method (DDM) for solving the high-frequency Helmholtz equation with the Sommerfeld radiation condition. In the proposed method, the computational domain is partitioned into structured subdomains along all spatial directions, and each subdomain contains an overlapping region for source transferring. At each iteration all subdomain PML problems are solved completely in parallel, then all horizontal, vertical and corner directional residuals on each subdomain are passed to its corresponding neighbor subdomains as the source for the next iteration. This DDM method is highly scalable in nature and theoretically shown to produce the exact solution for the PML problem defined in ${\mathbb{R}}^2$ in the constant medium case. A slightly modified version of the method for bounded truncated domains is also developed for its use in practice and an error estimate is rigorously proved. Various numerical experiments in two and three dimensions are conducted on the supercomputer "Tianhe-2 Cluster" to verify the theoretical results and demonstrate excellent performance of the proposed method as an iterative solver or a preconditioner.

Current-Carrying Ground States in Mesoscopic and Macroscopic Systems

Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: We extend a theorem of Bloch, which concerns the net orbital current carried by an interacting electron system in equilibrium, to include mesoscopic effects. We obtain a rigorous upper bound to the allowed ground-state current in a ring or disc, for an interacting electron system in the presence of static but otherwise arbitrary electric and magnetic fields. We also investigate the effects of spin-orbit and current-current interactions on the upper bound. Current-current interactions, caused by the magnetic field produced at a point r by a moving electron at r, are found to reduce the upper bound by an amount that is determined by the self-inductance of the system. A solvable model of an electron system that includes current-current interactions is shown to realize our upper bound, and the upper bound is compared with measurements of the persistent current in a single ring.

description: The B-$\bar B$ mixing, B-meson lifetimes, the $B_{s}$-$\bar{B}_{s}$ lifetime difference and SUSY FCNC effects in $ΔB=2$ processes are very important measurable quantities in B-meson phenomenology whose theoretical predictions depend on unknown matrix elements of several four-fermion operators. We present preliminary results for the matrix elements of the relevant four-fermion operators computed on a sample of 600 lattices of size $24^3\times 40$ at $β=6.0$, using the SW--Clover action for light quarks with rotated light quark propagators and the lattice version of the HQET for heavy quarks. As a necessary ingredient of the calculation, we also present results for the next-to-leading order matching of the full theory to the lattice HQET (one- and two-loop anomalous dimensions, one-loop QCD-HQET matching coefficients and one-loop continuum-lattice HQET matching coefficients).

description: The current study examined the role of temperament and anxiety on somatizing behavior in young adults (N=230). Participants completed a series of self-report measures assessing levels of behavioral inhibition, social anxiety, thought suppression, as well as a multidimensional somatization symptom profile. Gender and ethnicity were also noted as they may act to moderate the temperament-anxiety-somatization link. Analyses were carried out using a linear regression model. Results found that temperamental characteristics like neuroticism, social avoidance, and thought distortion together constituted a single factor – socio-affective vigilance. Regression analysis showed that socio-affective vigilance and low threshold were significant positive predictors of somatic behavior and anxiety in young adults. Data analysis showed that in the present sample, this relation held only for Caucasians. No ethnic differences were found on anxiety scores. While women reported significantly more somatic complaints, gender did not moderate the relation between socio-affective vigilance, low threshold, and somatization.
title: Scalable Agent-Based Modeling of Forced Migration
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Migration studies have a long history in sociology and the social science though the discipline has matured in notable ways over the past several decades. One such way is the attention that has been paid to forced migration resulting from security and conflict events worldwide. The study of forced migration is distinct from the study of voluntary migration, the topic of most research in migration studies since the late 19th century. Another way the field has matured is in the application of computational modeling and simulation methods to the problem domain to augment or complement theoretical or statistical analysis of migration. Despite recent advancements in these two areas, there remains a dearth of research around computational modeling and simulation methods as applied to the study of forced migration. There are many gaps the scientific community of sociologists and computational social scientists must fill before empirical models can be generalized and used for predictive purposes by aid organizations to make decisions about the allocation of resources in response to forced migration events worldwide. For instance, many computational models have been applied to the modeling of voluntary migration but far fewer to forced migration. Of the models developed for forced migration, many are only theoretical, few are empirical, and only one is designed to run at a scale applicable to ongoing forced migration events worldwide with tens of millions of migrants but does not consider social networks. The research presented in this dissertation fills some of these gaps by addressing limitations in theoretical knowledge and computational methodology with the application of an agent-based model to a real-world forced migration case study – forced Syrian migration into neighboring Turkey. This research makes the case that agent-based modeling is the appropriate social simulation approach to take for forced migration modeling and discusses recent developments in forced migration theory that have yet to be applied in empirical computational modeling contexts, including social networks. This research also addresses the scale issue, demonstrating an agent-based simulation that runs with up to 25M agents and applying this simulation to a real-world event with 4-6M at-risk persons. The following chapters summarize a two-fold contribution to the sociology, social science, and computational modeling scientific communities: (1) the first empirically tested agent-based simulation to model forced migration that considers migrant social networks and (2) methodological advances to the state-of-the-art of computational forced migration modeling and publicly available computational tools and methods to facilitate future research for researchers in this domain.

description: We study the Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain with both dimerization and frustration. The classical ground state has three phases: a Neel phase, a spiral phase and a colinear phase. In each phase, we discuss a non-linear sigma model field theory governing the low energy excitations. We study the theory in the spiral phase in detail using the renormalization group. The field theory, based on an $SO(3)$ matrix-valued field, becomes $SO(3) \times SO(3)$ and Lorentz invariant at long distances where the elementary excitation is analytically known to be a massive spin-$1/2$ doublet. The field theory supports $Z_2 ~$ solitons which lead to a double degeneracy in the spectrum for half-integer spins (when there is no dimerization).

The visible effect of a very heavy magnetic monopole at colliders
Creators: name: Ginzburg, I. F.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: If a heavy Dirac monopole exists, the light-to-light scattering below the monopole production threshold is enhanced due to strong coupling of monopoles to photons. At the next Linear Collider with electron beam energy 250 GeV this photon pair production could be observable at monopole masses less than 2.5-6.4 TeV in the $e^+e^-$ mode or 3.7-10 TeV in the $γγ$ mode, depending on the monopole spin. At the upgraded Tevatron such an effect is expected to be visible at monopole masses below 1-2.5 TeV. The strong dependence on the initial photon polarizations allows to find the monopole spin in experiments at $e^+e^-$ and $γγ$ colliders. We consider the $Zγ$ production and the $3γ$ production at $e^+e^-$ and $pp$ or $p\bar{p}$ colliders via the same monopole loop. The possibility to discover these processes is significantly lower than that of the $γγ$ case.

description: Good governance is an underlying condition for the formulation of effective and efficient public policies, programs, and services. It implies a social contract and adherence to rules and laws that enable improved interaction between government and constituents on transparency, accountability, and participation. Good governance is equitable and inclusive, responsive and consensus-oriented. Governance reforms rank high on the development agenda of many Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries, particularly in regard to public service delivery. Social accountability approaches aim to improve the performance of public services, user satisfaction, and value for money. This note highlights lessons learned thus far from the four Local Service Delivery Initiative (LDSI) pilot programs.
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and Active-Sterile Neutrino Mixing: Evidence for Maximal Mu Neutrino Tau Neutrino Mixing in Super Kamiokande?

description: We discuss Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraints on maximal $ν_μ\leftrightarrowν_s$ mixing. Vacuum $ν_μ\leftrightarrowν_s$ oscillation has been proposed as one possible explanation of the Super Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino data. Based on the most recent primordial abundance measurements, we find that the effective number of neutrino species for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) is $N_ν\la 3.3$. Assuming that all three active neutrinos are light (with masses $\ll 1$ MeV), we examine BBN constraints on $ν_μ\leftrightarrowν_s$ mixing in two scenarios: (1) a negligible lepton asymmetry (the standard picture); (2) the presence of a large lepton asymmetry which has resulted from an amplification by $ν_τ\leftrightarrowν_{s'}$ mixing ($ν_{s'}$ being $ν_s$ or another sterile neutrino species). The latter scenario has been proposed recently to reconcile the BBN constraints and large-angle $ν_μ\leftrightarrowν_s$ mixing. We find that the large-angle $ν_μ\leftrightarrowν_s$ mixing in the first scenario, which would yield $N_ν\approx 4$, is ruled out as an explanation of the Super Kamiokande data. It is conceivably possible for the $ν_μ\leftrightarrowν_s$ solution to evade BBN bounds in the second scenario, but only if 200 eV$^2\la m^2_{ν_τ}-m^2_{ν_{s'}}\la 10^4$ eV$^2$ is satisfied, and if $ν_τ$ decays non-radiatively with a lifetime $\la 10^3$ years. This mass-squared difference implies 15 eV$\la m_{ν_τ}\la 100$ eV if $ν_{s'}$ is much lighter than $ν_τ$. We conclude that maximal (or near maximal) $ν_μ\leftrightarrowν_τ$ mixing is a more likely explanation of the Super Kamiokande data.

description: The neutrino experiment KARMEN at the beam stop neutrino source ISIS investigates the oscillation channel numubar->nuebar in the appearance mode by looking for p(nuebar,e+)n reactions. An analysis of data collected from February 1997 through March 2000 with the KARMEN2 experimental setup reveals 11 candidate events in good agreement with the background expectation of 12.3+-0.6 events. Hence, there is no indication of an oscillation signal. A maximum likelihood analysis of the data leads to an upper limit (at 90% confidence level) for the mixing angle of sin^2(2theta) < 1.3x10^-3 at large Dm^2 and Dm^2 < 0.049 eV^2 for sin^2(2theta)=1. The anomaly in the time spectrum of events induced by nue and numubar seen in the KARMEN1 data could not be confirmed with the KARMEN2 data.

description: We present the first results from the GeMS/GSAOI Galactic Globular Cluster Survey (G4CS) of the Milky-Way globular clusters (GCs) NGC 3201 and NGC 2298. Using the Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI), in tandem with the Gemini Multi-conjugate adaptive optics System (GeMS) on the 8.1-meter Gemini-South telescope, we collected deep near-IR observations of both clusters, resolving their constituent stellar populations down to $K_s\simeq21$ Vega mag. Point spread function (PSF) photometry was performed on the data using spatially-variable PSFs to generate $JHK_{s}$ photometric catalogues for both clusters. These catalogues were combined with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data to augment the photometric wavelength coverage, yielding catalogues that span the near-ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (near-IR). We then applied 0.14 mas/year accurate proper-motion cleaning, differential-reddening corrections and chose to anchor our isochrones using the lower main-sequence knee (MSK) and the main-sequence turn-off (MSTO) prior to age determination. As a result of the data quality, we found that the $K_{s}$ vs. F606W$-K_{s}$ and F336W vs. F336W$-K_{s}$ color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) were the most diagnostically powerful. We used these two color combinations to derive the stellar-population ages, distances and reddening values for both clusters. Following isochrone-fitting using three different isochrone sets, we derived best-fit absolute ages of $12.2\pm0.5$ Gyr and $13.2\pm0.4$ Gyr for NGC 3201 and NGC 2298, respectively. This was done using a weighted average over the two aforementioned color combinations, following a pseudo-$χ^2$ determination of the best-fit isochrone set. Our derived parameters are in good agreement with recent age determinations of the two clusters, with our constraints on the ages being or ranking among the most statistically robust.

description: We report on the extraction of the structure functions F_2 and Delta xF_3 = xF_3nu-xF_3nubar from CCFR neutrino-Fe and antineutrino-Fe differential cross sections. The extraction is performed in a physics model independent (PMI) way. This first measurement for Delta xF_3, which is useful in testing models of heavy charm production, is higher than current theoretical predictions. The F_2 (PMI) values measured in neutrino and muon scattering are in good agreement with the predictions of Next to Leading Order PDFs (using massive charm production schemes), thus resolving the long-standing discrepancy between the two sets of data.

description: We study the phase diagram and the total polarization distribution of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with nearest neighbor interaction in one dimension at half-filling. To obtain the ground state wave-function, we extend the Baeriswyl variational wave function to account for alternating hopping parameters. The ground state energies of the variational wave functions compare well to exact diagonalization results. For the case of uniform hopping for all bonds, where it is known that an ideal conductor to insulator transition takes place at finite interaction, we also find a transition at an interaction strength somewhat lower than the known value. The ideal conductor phase is a Fermi sea. The phase diagram in the whole parameter range shows a resemblance to the phase diagram of the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model. We also calculate the gauge invariant cumulants corresponding to the polarization (Zak phase) and use these to reconstruct the distribution of the polarization. We calculate the reconstructed polarization distribution along a path in parameter space which connects two points with opposite polarization in two ways. In one case we cross the metallic phase line, in the other, we go through only insulating states. In the former case, the average polarization changes discontinuously after passing through the metallic phase line, while in the latter the distribution "walks across" smoothly from one polarization to its opposite. This state of affairs suggests that the correlation acts to break the chiral symmetry of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, in the same way as it happens when a Rice-Mele onsite potential is turned on.
Hanging out your open science shingle: launching an open science program by supporting a new graduate cohort
Creators: name: Teplitzky, Samantha
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: In 2019, librarians at the University of California, Berkeley, began a pilot program to introduce open science workflows. The Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) Department was chosen as the target department for this work due to prior connections and its relatively small graduate cohorts. The program began with an overhaul of the library's traditional orientation session, replacing content focused on library policies, procedures and resources with a new approach that instead addresses opportunities for open practices within local research workflows. Through collaboration with the department chair, faculty graduate student advisors and the graduate student affairs officer, the library constructed a year-long curriculum on open science practices and reproducibility within the Earth Sciences. This talk will address the challenges of introducing open science practices on a large campus, describing the opportunities and obstacles encountered while working with a small graduate cohort.
Indy: a virtual reality multi-player game for navigation skills training

description: Working in complex industrial facilities requires spatial navigation skills that people build up with time and field experience. Training sessions consisting in guided tours help discover places but they are insufficient to become intimately familiar with their layout. They imply passive learning postures, are time-limited and can be experienced only once because of organization constraints and potential interferences with ongoing activities in the buildings. To overcome these limitations and improve the acquisition of navigation skills, we developed Indy, a virtual reality system consisting in a collaborative game of treasure hunting. It has several key advantages: it focuses learners' attention on navigation tasks, implies their active engagement and provides them with feedbacks on their achievements. Virtual reality makes it possible to multiply the number and duration of situations that learners can experience to better consolidate their skills. This paper discusses the main design principles and a typical usage scenario of Indy.
Symmetry Conserving Dynamical Mappings

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Using the concept of dynamical mappings, two symmetry conserving nonperturbative approaches are presented. The first is based on the 1/N-expansion and sorted out using Holstein-Primakoff mapping. The second consists of dynamically mapping the canonical fields into the corresponding currents. It is argued, either by comparing the Fock spaces or the observables, that the latter constitutes a higher approach which transcends the 1/N-expansion and contains the dynamics generated by the Gaussian functional approach.

Magnetic susceptibility of quantum spin systems calculated by sine square deformation: one-dimensional, square lattice, and kagome lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnets

description: We develop a simple and unbiased numerical method to obtain the uniform susceptibility of quantum many body systems. When a Hamiltonian is spatially deformed by multiplying it with a sine square function that smoothly decreases from the system center toward the edges, the size-scaling law of the excitation energy is drastically transformed to a rapidly converging one. Then, the local magnetization at the system center becomes nearly size independent; the one obtained for the deformed Hamiltonian of a system length as small as L=10 provides the value obtained for the original uniform Hamiltonian of L=100. This allows us to evaluate a bulk magnetic susceptibility by using the magnetization at the center by existing numerical solvers without any approximation, parameter tuning, or the size-scaling analysis. We demonstrate that the susceptibilities of the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain and square lattice obtained by our scheme at L=10 agree within 10 to (-3) with exact analytical and numerical solutions for L=infinite down to temperature of 0.1 times the coupling constant. We apply this method to the spin-1/2 kagome lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet which is of prime interest in the search of spin liquids.

description: Graphene on silicon carbide (SiC) bears great potential for future graphene electronic applications because it is available on the wafer-scale and its properties can be custom-tailored by inserting various atoms into the graphene/SiC interface. It remains unclear, however, how atoms can cross the impermeable graphene layer during this widely used intercalation process. Here we demonstrate that, in contrast to the current consensus, graphene layers on SiC are not homogeneous, but instead composed of domains of different crystallographic stacking. We show that these domains are intrinsically formed during growth and that dislocations between domains dominate the (de)intercalation dynamics. Tailoring these dislocation networks, e.g. through substrate engineering, will increase the control over the intercalation process and could open a playground for topological and correlated electron phenomena in two-dimensional superstructures.

description: By obtaining imaging data in two photometric bands for 60 lenticular galaxies - members of 8 southern clusters - with the Las Cumbres Observatory one-meter telescope network, we have analyzed the structure of their large-scale stellar disks. The parameters of radial surface-brightness profiles have been determined (including also disk thickness), and all the galaxies have been classified into pure exponential (Type I) disk surface-brightness profiles, truncated (Type II) and antitruncated (Type III) piecewise exponential disk surface-brightness profiles. We confirm the previous results of some other authors that the proportion of surface-brightness profile types is very different in environments of different density: in the clusters the Type-II profiles are almost absent while according to the literature data, in the field they constitute about one quarter of all lenticular galaxies. The Type-III profiles are equally presented in the clusters and in the field, while following similar scaling relations; but by undertaking an additional structural analysis including the disk thickness determination we note that some Type-III disks may be a combination of a rather thick exponential pseudobulge and an outer Type-I disk. Marginally we detect a shift of the scaling relation toward higher central surface brightnesses for the outer segments of Type-III disks and smaller thickness of the Type-I disks in the clusters. Both effects may be explained by enhanced radial stellar migration during disk galaxy infall into a cluster that in particular represents an additional channel for Type-I disk shaping in dense environments.

SU(3) Analysis of Annihilation Contributions and CP Violating Relations in $B \to PP$ Decays

description: Several methods proposed to measure the angle $γ$ in the KM unitarity triangle assumed that the tree contribution to $B^-\to π^-\bar K^0 $ is purely due to annihilation contributions and is negligibly small. This assumption has to be tested in order to have a correct interpretation of the experimental data. In this paper we show that using SU(3) symmetry, the smallness of the tree contribution can be tested in a dynamic model independent way. We also derive several relations between CP violating rate differences for $B\to P P$ decays without assuming the smallness of the annihilation contributions. These relations provide important tests for the Standard Model of CP violation.

Two points of the boundary of toric geometry

description: This note presents two observations which have in common that they lie at the boundary of toric geometry. The first one because it concerns the deformation of affine toric varieties into non toric germs in order to understand how to avoid some ramification problems arising in the study of local uniformization in positive characteristic, and the second one because it uses limits of projective systems of equivariant birational maps of toric varieties to study the space of additive preorders on ${\mathbf Z}^r$ for $r\geq 2$.
