description: This thesis reports small-scale laboratory experiments designed to visualize the flow over a heated plate. A low-speed wind tunnel was built, and a heating plate was flush mounted on the wind tunnel floor to provide a uniform heat flux over its surface. A paper thin cloth soaked with commercially available Vaseline was placed on top of the heating plate to produce thick smoke streaks that were carried downstream by a horizontal airflow. Both LED light and a laser sheet of approximately 30-degrees open angle were separately used to illuminate this flow, the latter advanced downstream with 1-cm interval from the heated plate’s upstream edge. A camera with full-frame CMOS sensor recorded time series of flow patterns from four different angles. From these images, the following four flow structures were identified: (1) organized horizontal flow of vortex tubes, (2) weak vortex tubes interactions, (3) strong vortex tubes interactions (transition regime), (4) chaotic turbulent flow. Flow structure analysis showed that smoke flow height increased with horizontal distance from the heated plate and reduced with flow velocity. Scaling analysis was conducted to assess the validity of observed scale model flow structure to the USDA Forest Service medium scale wind tunnel burns.

description: Since the launch of the Fermi gamma - ray Space Telescope on June 11, 2008, the LAT instrument has solidly detected more than 20 GRBs with high energy photon emission above 100 MeV. Using the matched filter technique, 3 more GRBs have also shown evidence of correlation with high energy photon emission as demonstrated by Akerlof et al. In this paper, we present another GRB unambiguously detected by the matched filter technique, GRB 081006A. This event is associated with more than 13 high energy photons above 100 MeV. The likelihood analysis code provided by the $Fermi$ Science Support Center (FSSC) generated an independent verification of this detection by comparison of the Test Statistics (TS) value with similar calculations for random LAT data fields. We have performed detailed temporal and spectral analysis of photons from 8 keV up to 0.8 GeV from the GBM and the LAT. The properties of GRB 081006A can be compared to the other two long duration GRBs detected at similar significance, GRB 080825C and GRB 090217A. We find that GRB 081006A is more similar to GRB 080825C with comparable appearances of late high energy photon emission. As demonstrated previously, there appears to be a surprising dearth of faint LAT GRBs, with only one additional GRB identified in a sample of 74 GRBs. In this unique period when both $Swift$ and $Fermi$ are operational, there is some urgency to explore this aspect of GRBs as fully as possible.

description: Due to the rapidly growing size of integrated circuits, there is a need for new algorithms for automatic test pattern generation (ATPG). While classical algorithms reach their limit, there have been recent advances in algorithms to solve Boolean Satisfiability (SAT). Because Boolean SAT solvers are working on conjunctive normal forms (CNFs), the problem has to be transformed. During transformation, relevant information about the problem might get lost and, therefore, is not available in the solving process. In this paper, we present a technique that applies structural knowledge about the circuit during the transformation. As a result, the size of the problem instances decreases, as well as the run time of the ATPG process. The technique was implemented, and experimental results are presented. The approach was combined with the ATPG framework of NXP Semiconductors. It is shown that the overall performance of an industrial framework can significantly be improved. Further experiments show the benefits with regard to the efficiency and robustness of the combined approach.

description: In this report, we conduct a strict stock assessment update of the Bottomfish Management Unit Species (BMUS) complexes in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam, using the same base case production model as used in the previous stock assessment (Brodziak et al., 2012), but with an additional 3 years of catch and nominal catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) as input data. A Bayesian statistical framework is applied to estimate parameters of a Schaefer production model fit to a time series of annual nominal CPUE statistics to provide direct estimates of parameter uncertainty for status determination. The surplus production model is a state-space model, including both process error in biomass production dynamics and observation error in the catch-per-unit effort data. Overall, the American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Guam bottomfish complexes were not overfished (overfished is defined as B < 0.7*BMSY) and were not experiencing overfishing (overfishing is defined as H > HMSY) in 2013, the most recent year of the stock assessment estimates. We conducted stock projections for 2016 and 2017, which projected a range of hypothetical two-year catches and calculated corresponding future risks of overfishing. For the American Samoa BMUS complex, the 2017 catch level that would produce a 50% risk of overfishing in 2017 was 115 thousand pounds. For the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands BMUS complex, the 2017 catch level that would produce a 50% risk of overfishing in 2017 was 250 thousand pounds. For the Guam BMUS complex, the 2017 catch level that would produce a 50% risk of overfishing in 2017 was 71 thousand pounds. All of these catch values associated with a 50% risk of overfishing in 2017 are much higher than actual bottomfish landings in 2013 for American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam which were approximately 24 thousand, 23 thousand, and 30 thousand pounds, respectively.

description: We examine the global properties of the stellar and HI components of 229 low HI mass dwarf galaxies extracted from the ALFALFA survey, including a complete sample of 176 galaxies with HI masses < 10^{7.7} M_sun and HI line widths < 80 km s^{-1}. SDSS data are combined with photometric properties derived from GALEX to derive stellar masses (M_*) and star formation rates (SFRs) by fitting their UV-optical spectral energy distributions (SEDs). In optical images, many of the ALFALFA dwarfs are faint and of low surface brightness; only 56% of those within the SDSS footprint have a counterpart in the SDSS spectroscopic survey. A large fraction of the dwarfs have high specific star formation rates (SSFRs) and estimates of their SFRs and M_* obtained by SED fitting are systematically smaller than ones derived via standard formulae assuming a constant SFR. The increased dispersion of the SSFR distribution at M_* < 10^8 M_sun is driven by a set of dwarf galaxies that have low gas fractions and SSFRs; some of these are dE/dSphs in the Virgo cluster. The imposition of an upper HI mass limit yields the selection of a sample with lower gas fractions for their M_* than found for the overall ALFALFA population. Many of the ALFALFA dwarfs, particularly the Virgo members, have HI depletion timescales shorter than a Hubble time. An examination of the dwarf galaxies within the full ALFALFA population in the context of global star formation laws is consistent with the general assumptions that gas-rich galaxies have lower star formation efficiencies than do optically selected populations and that HI disks are more extended than stellar ones.

description: The O-type object 9 Sgr is a well-known synchrotron radio emitter. This feature is usually attributed to colliding-wind binary systems, but 9 Sgr was long considered a single star. We have conducted a long-term spectroscopic monitoring of this star to investigate its multiplicity and search for evidence for wind-wind interactions. Radial velocities are determined and analysed using various period search methods. Spectral disentangling is applied to separate the spectra of the components of the binary system. We derive the first ever orbital solution of 9 Sgr. The system is found to consist of an O3.5 V((f+)) primary and an O5- 5.5 V((f)) secondary moving around each other on a highly eccentric (e = 0.7), 8.6 year orbit. The spectra reveal no variable emission lines that could be formed in the wind interaction zone in agreement with the expected properties of the interaction in such a wide system. Our results provide further support to the paradigm of synchrotron radio emission from early-type stars being a manifestation of interacting winds in a binary system.

description: A new concept of modelling the Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process was developed. This concept utilizes the analogy between the heat and mass transfer to model interfering steam fingers rising through a cold reservoir. The solvent in this process behaves similarly to the steam in Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage and the diluted bitumen to the heated bitumen. Mass transfer by diffusion in this Solvent Analog Model is the analog of heat transfer by conduction in the SAGD process. This novel experimental technique enables one to study at room temperature the mechanism of bitumen recovery under a wide range of permeabilities in a vertical Hele Shaw cell. It is also suitable as a physical model of more complex situations, in particular those involving varying permeability across the cell or impermeable horizontal or slanted barriers. The technique utilizes a well-defined and reproducible solvent-bitumen system and avoids the complexities inherent in the use of high temperatures and pressures. It also allows easy visualization of flow patterns created by natural convection effects. The experimental work led to the observation that a boundary layer, delimited by two shock fronts, is formed around a rising solvent finger. It is the first time that this phenomenon has been described and studied n miscible flooding. Several theoretical approaches were taken to predict the bitumen drainage rate from basic material properties, such as diffusivity, viscosity and density. In the first approach, a Simple Countercurrent Flow set an absolute limit for the magnitude of the drainage rate. In the next three approaches, Concentration Gradient Models were developed that assumed a linear, an exponential and a linear step function concentration profile across the boundary layer. Finally, a comprehensive Solvent Chamber Theory was developed that predicts not only the drainage rate but also the solvent concentration at both fronts, the shape of the solvent fingers, the width of the boundary layer, the average (constant) solvent diffusivity and the concentration average solvent diffusivity. A comparison between experimental and theoretically predicted values show, in general, a degree of agreement which is encouraging.

description: We propose a rigorous and effective way to compare experimental and theoretical histograms, incorporating the different sources of statistical and systematic uncertainties. This is a useful tool to extract as much information as possible from the comparison between experimental data with theoretical simulations, optimizing the chances of identifying New Physics at the LHC. We illustrate this by showing how a search in the CMSSM parameter space, using Bayesian techniques, can effectively find the correct values of the CMSSM parameters by comparing histograms of events with multijets + missing transverse momentum displayed in the effective-mass variable. The procedure is in fact very efficient to identify the true supersymmetric model, in the case supersymmetry is really there and accessible to the LHC.

This threshold switching is the 'soft breakdown' observed during electroforming of TiO2 and other transition-metal-oxide based memristors, as well as a precursor to 'ON' or 'SET' switching of unipolar memristors from their high to their low resistance states. The shape of the V(I) curve is a sensitive indicator of the nature of the polaronic conduction.

description: Eight steers were used in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square design experiment to study the rumen metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The animals were fed a concentrate diet based on cracked corn grain, corn silage and hay fescue (K31). The dietary fat treatments were a negative control, tallow added at 60g/day, fish oil at 60g/day and heterotrophically grown microalgae high in DHA at 100g/day. Treatments were incorporated immediately prior to feeding each day and dosed through a ruminal fistula mixed with 0.45kg of the diet. Animals were fed at 1.75 x NEm once daily during adaptation then switched to twice daily during sample collection. Samples rumen, reticulum and omasal contents were used to determine ruminal digestion and metabolism of fatty acids while urine and feces were collected to determine diet digestibility and N balance. The experiment was analyzed as a Latin Square design with a 2 x 2 factorial using mixed models in SAS. There was no difference among treatments for DMI, urine or fecal excretion, N balance, total VFA concentrations, omasal or reticular flow, and apparent digestibility. Fat treatments had lower blood plasma C18:0 than control. Algae increased flow of C18:1 isomers and increased DHA in plasma.
Hydrophobic droplets in amphiphilic bilayers: a coarse-grained mean-field theory study

description: Hydrophobic molecules such as oils and certain drugs can be encapsulated between the two leaflets of an amphiphilic bilayer in both lipid and polymer systems. We investigate the case where the hydrophobic molecules are incompatible with the amphiphile tails and so form droplets. Using a coarse-grained mean-field model (self-consistent field theory, or SCFT), we find that droplets of a wide range of sizes have the same characteristic lens shape, and explain this result in terms of simple capillarity arguments, consistent with the measured variations of surface concentrations of amphiphile in the bilayer and in the monolayers that cover the droplet. We study the effect of the strength chi_BO of the repulsion between the hydrophobic liquid and the amphiphile tails on the droplet shape, and find a gradual flattening of the droplet as chi_BO is reduced. The droplet remains at least metastable even at very low values of chi_BO. This is in contrast to the behavior as the length of the hydrophobic molecules is varied. Specifically, if these molecules are at least as long as the amphiphile tails, increasing their length further is found to have little effect on the droplet shape, while reducing their length below this value quickly causes the droplet to become unstable.

description: This thesis is a study of the influence of the Bhagavad-Gita and the Upaniads on the religious and philosophical thought of Simone Weil. It will examine the major tenets of Weil's thought in an attempt to determine where Weil was influenced by the teaching of these texts and where she rejected them. Chapter One will be a brief introduction to Weil's relationship to the Gita and the Upaniads. Chapter Two will look at Weil's cosmology paying particular attention to her concepts of decreation, necessity gravity and grace. It will then look at the Indian notions of dharma, karma, and the Samkhya teachings found in the Gita in an attempt to determine where she was influenced by these concepts and where she rejected them. Chapter Three will look at Weil's views on knowledge paying particular attention to her notions of reading, levels of reading and levels of knowledge. It will then look at the teachings on knowledge in the Gita and the Upaniads in an attempt to determine their influence on Weil's thought. Chapter Four will examine Weil's soteriology, including her views on 'actionless action', detachment and affliction. It will then turn to these concepts in the Upanisads and Glta again looking for ways in which they influenced Weil. Chapter Five will draw together the preceding chapters, in an attempt to assess the overall influence of the Bhagavad-Gita and the Upaniiads on Weil's thought. It will conclude with suggestions for further study of Weil's work.
Subacute Effects of Prallethrin on Behavior of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) and Other Human Disease Vectors

description: The synthetic pyrethroid, prallethrin, is an active ingredient in a widely marketed ultralow volume (ULV) mosquito adulticide. Volatilized prallethrin is intended to stimulate mosquito flight, increasing overall effectiveness of the adulticide. However, field tests using volatilized prallethrin did not produce significant differences in various vector trap catches, suggesting prallethrin’s behavioral effects are not viable. Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate prallethrin’s effect on flight behavior of adult female Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus). Mosquitoes were divided into three groups; a control, those exposed to volatilized prallethrin, and those exposed to a simulated ULV application at label rates. After 15 min, mosquito behavior in a wind tunnel was recorded and analyzed using motion-tracking software. No significant differences in flight behavior were found between controls and treated mosquitoes exposed to volatilized prallethrin, confirming the field results. ULV-sprayed mosquitoes exhibited a significant increase in a number of flight metrics compared to controls. These locomotor stimulation responses would definitively increase exposure to a ULV spray cloud. However, these results show that volatilization alone is insufficient to increase ULV efficacy in the field. These results suggest that incorporating a more volatile flight stimulant into ULV adulticides would provide a measurable improvement in mosquito control.

NEW DATA ON AMMONOIDS AND BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE CLASSICAL SPATHIAN KÇIRA SECTIONS (LOWER TRIASSIC, ALBANIA)
Creators: name: GERMANI, DANIELA
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 1970

description: New bed-by-bed data on ammonoids and their stratigraphic position within three sections from the Lower and Middle Triassic Han-Bulog Limestone of Kçira (Northern Albania) are presented. Two of the sections studied are most likely from the classical localities described by Nopcsa in 1929. They have pro vided the only two ammonoid collections known from the Albanian Lower Trias, which are known as Arthaber's and Nopcsa's collections, now stored in Wien and London, respectively. The ammonoids from the two collections, although sampled discontinuously (not bed-by-bed), supplied the base of a substantial part of the Spathian taxonomy in the Western Tethys. The new sampling of the basal portion of the Han-Bulog Limestone of Kçira pro vided the layers with the richest and most diversified faunas. Two marker levels recognized within the lowest 2.5 m of the succession are characterized by the acme of the genus Subcolumbites, that is practically absent in the middle-higher part of the formation. These basal faunas were assigned to the Subcolumbites-Prohungarites Oppel zone, whose local revision is suggested with the introduction of the taxon range zone "Subcolumbites beds". The middle portion of the Han-Bulog Limestone pro vided only small long-ranging ammonoids belonging to the genera Procarnites, Leiophyllites and Eophyllites. Scant faunas with long-ranging Anisian forms (Procladiscites, Sturia, Proarcestes, Monophyllites) were found at the top of the succession within isolated blocks.

Subjects: Double Lomax; Laplace; Microarray

description: The Laplace distribution and its generalizations found applications in a variety of disciplines that range from image and speech recognition (input distributions) and ocean engineering to finance. In the present paper, our major goal is to study the family of distribution called the double Lomax distribution which is the ratio of two independent and identically distributed classical Laplace distributions. Also the double Lomax distribution can be obtained by compounding classical Laplace distribution with exponential density. The important statistical properties of double Lomax distribution are explored. Also the relationships with other families of distributions are established. Maximum likelihood estimation procedure is employed to estimate the parameters of the proposed distribution and an algorithm in R package is developed to carry out the estimation. A simulation study is conducted to validate the algorithm. Finally, the application of our model is illustrated. We have used a microarray data set for illustration.

description: We have performed a first principles study of structural, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of orthorhombic Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3 compounds. The calculations have been carried out within the local density approximation using norm conserving pseudopotentials. The lattice parameters, bulk modulus, and its pressure derivatives of the these compounds have been obtained. The second-order elastic constants have been calculated, and the other related quantities such as the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, anisotropy factor, sound velocities and Debye temperature have also been estimated in the present work. The linear photon-energy dependent dielectric functions and some optical properties such as the energy-loss function, the effective number of valance electrons and the effective optical dielectric constant are calculated. Our structural estimation and some other results are in agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data.

In this paper, we review a set of comprehensive and modern tools that are useful for prediction of cancer growth in space and time. We comment on three alternative approaches. We first consider spatio-temporal stochastic processes within a Bayesian framework to model spatial heterogeneity, temporal dependence and spatio-temporal interactions amongst the pixels, providing a general modeling framework for such dynamics. We then consider predictions based on geometric properties of plane curves and vectors, and propose two methods of geometric prediction. Finally we focus on functional data analysis to statistically compare tumor contour evolutions. We also analyze real data on brain tumor.

description: We present some results on the radiative signatures of the one zone hadronic model. For this we have solved five spatially averaged, time-dependent coupled kinetic equations which describe the evolution of relativistic protons, electrons, photons, neutrons and neutrinos in a spherical volume containing a magnetic field. Protons are injected and lose energy by synchrotron, photopair and photopion production. We model photopair and photopion using the results of relevant MC codes, like the SOPHIA code in the case of photopion, which give accurate description for the injection of secondaries which then become source functions in their respective equations. This approach allows us to calculate the expected photon and neutrino spectra simultaneously in addition to examining questions like the efficiency and the temporal behaviour of the hadronic models.

description: The Internet of Things is one of the most prominent ways for humans to communicate with one another. It can be utilised in numerous ways. The majority of farms continue to have difficulty obtaining the water their crops require. A lack of water can harm both the soil and the crops. A functional monitoring or control system could be instrumental in fixing this issue.
 Approximately 75% of Indians are employed in agriculture. When agricultural output grows in India, India's GDP changes significantly. Pests and diseases can cause harm to the leaves and stems of plants. Damage to plants diminishes the quantity and quality of agricultural profits. Among the most important components of plant monitoring in agriculture is maintaining healthy crop growth. Monitoring plant growth and disease detection by hand is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Plant problems can be diagnosed using AI, IoT, ML, DL, as well as other cutting-edge AI/ML/ML/DL methods. In a significant number of instances, the affected leaves, stems, and fruits were detected. This study provides an algorithm for diagnosing plant ailments and prescribing appropriate treatments. Depending on the particulars of the issue, an automated prototype may be able to correctly handle the plants.

Doppler tomography of transiting exoplanets: A prograde, low-inclined orbit for the hot Jupiter CoRoT-11b

description: We report the detection of the Doppler shadow of the transiting hot Jupiter CoRoT-11b. Our analysis is based on line-profile tomography of time-series, Keck/HIRES high-resolution spectra acquired during the transit of the planet. We measured a sky-projected, spin-orbit angle of 0.1 +/- 2.6 degrees, which is consistent with a very low-inclined orbit with respect to the stellar rotation axis. We refined the physical parameters of the system using a Markov chain Monte Carlo simultaneous fitting of the available photometric and spectroscopic data. An analysis of the tidal evolution of the system shows how the currently measured obliquity and its uncertainty translate into an initial absolute value of less than about 10 degrees on the zero-age main sequence, for an expected average modified tidal quality factor of the star Q'* > 4 x 10^6. This is indicative of an inward migration scenario that would not have perturbed the primordial low obliquity of CoRoT-11b. Taking into account the effective temperature and mass of the planet host star (Teff=6440 K, M*=1.23 MSun), the system can be considered a new telling exception to the recently proposed trend, according to which relatively hot and massive stars (Teff>6250 K, M*>1.2 MSun) seem to be preferentially orbited by hot Jupiters with high obliquity.

Undecidability in Tensor Network States

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent work has examined how undecidable problems can arise in quantum information science. We augment this by introducing three new undecidable problems stated in terms of tensor networks. These relate to ideas of Penrose about the physicality of a spin-network representing a physical process, closed timelike curves, and Boolean relation theory. Seemingly slight modifications of the constraints on the topology or the tensor families generating the networks leads to problems that transition from decidable, to undecidable to even always satisfiable.

description: In the present paper, we study properties of a family of bivariate Pareto distributions. The well known dullness property of the univariate Pareto model is extended to the bivariate setup. Two measures of income inequality viz. income gap ratio and mean left proportional residual income are defined in the bivariate case. We also introduce bivariate generalized failure rate useful in reliability analysis. Characterizations, using the above concepts, for various members of the family of bivariate Pareto distributions are derived.

Year: 1980

description: Information on domestic conflict for 111 countries were collected for the years 1919 - 1939 and 1946 - 1966. The variables record the occurrence of riots, demonstrations, and guerrilla war. Data exist for 42 years on 52 countries, and there are data for less than 42 years on 59 countries. Data may be obtained in either of two formats: nations as cases or nation/years as cases. In the first format a case would be Canada and variables would be riots-1919, riots-1920, riots-1921, etc. In the second format, Canada-1919 is a case, and riots appears as a variable with Canada-1919 being recorded as a second case.

description: Motivated by experiments in which moving boundaries are simulated by time-dependent properties of static systems, we discuss the model of a massless scalar field submitted to a time-dependent Robin boundary condition (BC) at a static mirror in 1+1 dimensions. Using a perturbative approach, we compute the spectral distribution of the created particles and the total particle creation rate, considering a thermal state as the initial field state.

Subjects: Best Linear Unbiased Estimation; Best Linear Unbiased Predictor; Characterization; Generalized upper(k)record values; Weibull Distribution

description: In this paper we study the generalized upper(k)record values arising from Weibull distribution. Expressions for the moments and product moments of those generalized upper(k)record values  are derived. Some properties of generalized upper(k)record values which characterize the Weibull distribution  have been established. Also some distributional properties of generalized upper(k)record values arising from Weibull distribution are considered and used for suggesting an estimator for the shape parameter of Weibull distribution. The location and scale parameters are estimated using the Best Linear Unbiased Estimation procedure. Prediction of a future record using Best Linear Unbiased Predictor has been studied. A real life data is used to illustrate the results generated in this work.
