description: The College has a long history of engagement and outreach with its community. The Library supports the college’s mission of “engagement within local, national, and global communities” in various ways. For example, librarians work with local high schools to provide access to resources and information literacy instruction, as well as engage immigrant, refugee, and underserved high school students in the college experience to help them envision a pathway to college. On campus, the library’s outreach efforts extend to faculty, staff, and students through collaborations that support teaching and learning programming and resources. Despite all of its successes, the library has specifically struggled with its outreach efforts to faculty through workshops held each semester. Year after year, faculty express interest in library workshops, perhaps even register for them, and then fail to attend. Over time, the librarians have experimented with modifying the workshops’ content, format, date, time of day, and incentives of food and prizes, with minimal success. And yet, with full support of their director they persist, continuing to try new and innovative ideas each semester in the never ending search for the perfect recipe that yields attendance. This poster describes these efforts and programs, the librarians’ many failures and few successes, and what they’ve learned along the way. Included are roadblocks they’ve overcome and lessons learned that have turned into best practices for implementing faculty workshops. Included is a case study of a day-long workshop inspired by another college library’s successful implementation, but which failed miserably when implemented at the Library. Primary takeaways include: 1) reasons why they’ve been able to persist in their efforts, and 2) best and worst practices.

description: We explain the physical basis of a model for small globular proteins with water interactions. The water is supposed to access the protein interior in an "all-or-none" manner during the unfolding of the protein chain. As a consequence of this mechanism (somewhat speculative), the model exhibits fundamental aspects of protein thermodynamics, as cold, and warm unfolding of the polypeptide chain, and hence decreasing the temperature below the cold unfolding the protein folds again, accordingly the heat capacity has three characteristic peaks. The cold and warm unfolding has a sharpness close to a two-state system, while the cold folding is a transition where the intermediate states in the folding is energetical close to the folded/unfolded states, yielding a less sharp transition. The entropy of the protein chain causes both the cold folding and the warm unfolding.

description: We resolve phonon number states in the spectrum of a superconducting qubit coupled to a multimode acoustic cavity. Crucial to this resolution is the sharp frequency dependence in the qubit-phonon interaction engineered by coupling the qubit to surface acoustic waves in two locations separated by $\sim40$ acoustic wavelengths. In analogy to double-slit diffraction, the resulting self-interference generates high-contrast frequency structure in the qubit-phonon interaction. We observe this frequency structure both in the coupling rate to multiple cavity modes and in the qubit spontaneous emission rate into unconfined modes. We use this sharp frequency structure to resolve single phonons by tuning the qubit to a frequency of destructive interference where all acoustic interactions are dispersive. By exciting several detuned yet strongly-coupled phononic modes and measuring the resulting qubit spectrum, we observe that, for two modes, the device enters the strong dispersive regime where single phonons are spectrally resolved.

description: Where do entangled multiple-qubit systems store information? For information injected into a qubit, this question is nontrivial and interesting since the entanglement delocalizes the information. So far, a common picture is that of a qubit and its purification partner sharing the information quantum mechanically. Here, we introduce a new picture of a single qubit in the correlation space, referred to as quantum information capsule (QIC), confining the information perfectly. This picture is applicable for the entangled multiple-qubit system in an arbitrary state. Unlike the partner picture, in the QIC picture, by swapping the single-body state, leaving other subsystems untouched, the whole information can be retrieved out of the system. After the swapping process, no information remains in the system.

description: The normal and the superconducting state of two coupled CuO_2 layers in the High-T_c superconductors are investigated by using the bilayer Hubbard model, the FLEX approximation on the real frequency axis and the Eliashberg theory. We find that the planes are antiferromagnetically correlated which leads to a strongly enhanced shadow band formation. Furthermore, the inter-layer hopping is renormalized which causes a blocking of the quasi particle inter-plane transfer for low doping concentrations. Finally, the superconducting order parameter is found to have a d_{x^2-y^2} symmetry with significant additional inter-layer contributions.

 Notes: — Lasianthus annamicus was described by Pitard (1924) from a Vietnamese specimen (A. Chevalier 40425) which was collected from Langbian Plateau of Lam Dong Province. It is characterized by having branches of brown ferruginous hirsute, leaf blade oblong-lanceolate, secondary veins 8–9 on each side of midrib, inflorescences axillary, cymose, 1–3-flowered, bracts 5 mm long, and calyx with lobes 6.
 This species is closely related to L. attenuatus Jack based on fruit and inflorescences shape, and flower color at anthesis, but differs from the latter in having cuneate leaf base (vs. oblique, cordate or rounded bases in L. attenuatus) and calyx with lobes 6 (vs. lobes 5 in L. attenuatus).

description: High precision measurements of the complex sheet conductivity of superconducting Mo77Ge23 thin films have been made from 0.4 K through Tc. A sharp drop in the inverse sheet inductance, 1/L(T), is observed at a temperature, Tc, which lies below the mean-field transition temperature, Tco. Just below Tc, the suppression of 1/L(T) below its mean-field value indicates that longitudinal phase fluctuations have nearly their full classical amplitude, but they disappear rapidly as T decreases. We argue that there is a quantum crossover at about 0.94 Tco, below which classical phase fluctuations are suppressed.

description: We introduce a generalized version of phase retrieval called multiplexed phase retrieval. We want to recover the phase of amplitude-only measurements from linear combinations of them. This corresponds to the case in which multiple incoherent sources are sampled jointly, and one would like to recover their individual contributions. We show that a recent spectral method developed for phase retrieval can be generalized to this setting, and that its performance follows a phase transition behavior. We apply this new technique to light focusing at depth in a complex medium. Experimentally, although we only have access to the sum of the intensities on multiple targets, we are able to separately focus on each ones, thus opening potential applications in deep fluorescence imaging and light delivery

description: The phenomenon of the so called Fermion condensation, a phase transition analogous to Bose condensation but for Fermions, postulated in the past to occur in systems with strong momentum dependent forces, is reanalysed in a model with infinite range interactions. The strongly non Fermi Liquid behavior of this system is demonstrated analytically at $T=0$ and at $T\neq 0$ in the superconducting and normal phases. The validity of the quasiparticle picture is investigated and seems to hold true for temperatures less than the characteristic temperature $T_f$ of the Fermion condensation.

Critical behavior and conservation in directed sandpiles

description: We perform large-scale simulations of directed sandpile models with both deterministic and stochastic toppling rules. Our results show the existence of two distinct universality classes. We also provide numerical simulations of directed models in the presence of bulk dissipation. The numerical results indicate that the way in which dissipation is implemented is irrelevant for the determination of the critical behavior. The analysis of the self-affine properties of avalanches shows the existence of a subset of super-universal exponents, whose value is independent of the universality class. This feature is accounted for by means of a phenomenological description of the energy balance condition in these models.

description: A minimally invasive technique is proposed for detecting the differential spin conductance and spin current noise across a junction between two quantum magnets using a high-quality microwave resonator coupled to a transmission line which is impedance matched to a photon detector downstream. Photons in the microwave resonator couple inductively to the spins in the spin subsystem, and the noise in the junction spin current imprints itself into the output photons propagating along the transmission line. The technique is capable of extracting both the dc and finite frequency noise via the output photon flux and of measuring the junction spin conductance by driving the electromagnetic environment into a different temperature regime.

description: Immunomodulatory function of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has been gathering much attention for the therapy of autoimmune diseases. ATRA is a chemically unstable molecule which requires proper formulation for targeted delivery. Here we examined nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) for the formulation of ATRA. NLC is a representative nanoparticle formulation especially suited for oral delivery. We established the preparation procedures of ATRA-containing NLC (NLC-RA) which minimizes the degradation of ATRA during the preparation process. NLC-RA thus obtained was taken up by macrophages and induced anti-inflammatory response via suppressing NF-κB signaling as well as via enhancing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, NLC-RA enhanced differentiation of naïve T cells to regulatory T cells in the co-culture system with dendritic cells. These results suggest that NLC-RA is a promising alternative therapy for the autoimmune diseases especially intestinal bowel disease.

description: We propose to Floquet-engineer Dirac cones at the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator. We show that a large tunability of the Fermi velocity can be achieved as a function of the polarization, direction and amplitude of the driving field. Using this external control, the Dirac cones in the quasienergy spectrum may become elliptic or massive, in accordance to experimental evidences. These results help us to understand the interplay of surface states and external ac driving fields in topological insulators. In our work we use the full Hamiltonian for the three-dimensional system instead of effective surface Hamiltonians, which are usually considered in the literature. Our findings show that the Dirac cones in the quasienergy spectrum remain robust even in the presence of bulk states and, therefore, they validate the usage of effective surface Hamiltonians to explore the properties of Floquet-driven topological boundaries. Furthermore, our model allows us to introduce new out-of-plane field configurations, which cannot be accounted for by effective surface Hamiltonians.

description: Die Synthese eines Bildes aus einer im Computer gespeicherten Szene ist das sogenannte Rendering, das beispielsweise mit einigen Vertretern der Klasse der Raytracing-Algorithmen fotorealistische Ergebnisse liefern kann. Diese Varianten (beispielsweise das Path Tracing) zeichnen sich allerdings durch eine stochastische Charakteristik aus, welche in einem hohen Rechenaufwand resultieren. Dies liegt in der Natur stochastischer Algorithmen, die durch eine hohe Anzahl an Stichproben ein Ergebnis berechnen–im Falle des Ray Tracing durch eine hohe Anzahl an Strahlen, die zur vollständigen Bildsynthese nötig sind. Eine Möglichkeit um das Ray Tracing, sowohl in den stochastischen als auch in den simpleren Formen, zu beschleunigen ist der Einsatz von spezialisierter Hardware. FPGRay ist ein solcher Ansatz, der dabei die Verwendung von spezialisierter Hardware mit der Software auf einem handelsüblichen PC kombiniert um eine Hybridlösung zu bilden. Dadurch soll die höhere Effizienz spezialisierter Hardware genutzt werden und zeitgleich eine Zukunftsfähigkeit im Falle sich ändernder Algorithmen erreicht werden. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass eine solche Effizienzverbesserung möglich ist. Allerdings war dies im Rahmen der Arbeit nicht realisierbar und die konkrete Implementation zeigte eine niedrigere Effizienz als reine Softwarelösungen. Die Möglichkeit der Erreichung einer höheren Effizienz durch diesen Ansatz konnte allerdings durch das Aufzeigen von FPGRays Potential sichtbar gemacht werden.
description: The synthesis of an image from a scene stored on a computer is called rendering, which is able to deliver photo-realistic results, e.g., by using specific variants of the class of ray tracing algorithms. However, these variants (e.g., path tracing) possess a stochastic characteristic which results in a high computational expense. This is explained by the nature of stochastic algorithms, which use a high number of samples to compute a result—in case of ray tracing, these samples manifest in a high number of rays needed for a complete rendering.One possibility to accelerate ray tracing—no matter if using a stochastic or simpler variants—is the use of customized hardware. FPGRay is such an approach, which combines the use of customized hardware with the software of an off-the-shelf PC to a hybrid solution. This allows increasing the efficiency by specialized hardware and delivers a sustainability in case of changing algorithms at the same time.The results point towards a possible efficiency gain. Unfortunately, in the scope of this thesis this was not realizable and the specific implementation showed a lower efficiency compared to the software implementation. Nevertheless, the possibility to achieve a higher efficiency with this approach by indicating FPGRay’s potential could be shown.

description: We propose that pressure anisotropy causes weakly collisional turbulent plasmas to self-organize so as to resist changes in magnetic-field strength. We term this effect "magneto-immutability" by analogy with incompressibility (resistance to changes in pressure). The effect is important when the pressure anisotropy becomes comparable to the magnetic pressure, suggesting that in collisionless, weakly magnetized (high-$β$) plasmas its dynamical relevance is similar to that of incompressibility. Simulations of magnetized turbulence using the weakly collisional Braginskii model show that magneto-immutable turbulence is surprisingly similar, in most statistical measures, to critically balanced MHD turbulence. However, in order to minimize magnetic-field variation, the flow direction becomes more constrained than in MHD, and the turbulence is more strongly dominated by magnetic energy (a nonzero "residual energy"). These effects represent key differences between pressure-anisotropic and fluid turbulence, and should be observable in the $β\gtrsim1$ turbulent solar wind.

description: Поставленная президентом России задача прорыва научно-технологического и социально-экономического развития требует проведения комплексной макроэкономической политики, нацеленной на стимулирование инвестиционной деятельности для повышения производительности экономики на принципах расширенного воспроизводства. Для высоких темпов роста нужны инвестиции в объеме не менее 25 % ВВП, в настоящее время 21 %, в промышленно развитых странах эта цифра составляет 30 % и более. При этом должны быть не только и не столько бюджетные деньги, но и финансовые средства бизнеса. Наряду с реализацией инфраструктурных проектов значительным долгосрочным макроэкономическим эффектом, необходимым для роста экономики продовольственного комплекса, обладают проекты по развитию сфер образования, науки и здравоохранения. Факторы, вызывающие торможение развития, связаны с низким уровнем технико-технологического развития многих предприятий, занятых в пищевом подкомплексе страны, недостатком современных траулеров и орудий лова для ведения рыбного промысла в конвекционных районах и акваториях Мирового океана, а также с отсутствием современной инфраструктуры хранения и логистики. Нарастающее технологическое отставание, следствием чего является низкий уровень инвестиционной и инновационной деятельности хозяйствующих субъектов, неизбежно ведет к снижению конкурентоспособности российского агропромышленного и рыбохозяйственного комплексов. Императивом экономического роста в современных условиях выступает процесс расширения и доступности кредита в целях финансирования инвестиций для расширения промышленного производства. Задействование имеющегося ресурсного и научно-технического потенциала позволит обеспечить достижение целевых установок по темпам роста экономики и решения задач по повышению благосостояния народа только при условии создания государством комплексных стимулирующих мер по внедрению достижений научно-технического прогресса в развитие пищевого подкомплекса России.

description: The formation of the Three Gorges (TG), the most important capture point along the Yangtze River, has been debated since the last century. Most of hypotheses on its formation are based on the timing of unconformities detected in the sedimentary basins along the riverbed. These unconformities may mark periods of tectonic activity and enhanced hydrodynamic condition. Herein, we detail the Cenozoic sedimentary provenance of the Jianghan Basin through LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb geochronology and heavy mineral analyses. The obtained data suggest that during Palaeocene-Oligocene time, the Jianghan Basin was supplied by sediments from the nearby mountain belts. However, the occurrence of zircons with ages <32 Ma above the unconformity at ~24.6 Ma indicates a provenance from Cenozoic igneous rocks which are exposed only in the Qiangtang Block and the Songpan-Ganzi Orogen. We propose therefore that the TG formed between the late Oligocene and the early Miocene and that the ~24.6 Ma unconformity in the Jianghan Basin represents the best dating of the TG formation.

description: In this work, we have revisited the Solov'ev analytical solution for a tokamak equilibrium. We point out that the vacuum solution in the Solov'ev formulation is inapplicable, since a distributed current density is assumed to fill the vacuum. The realistic vacuum should be current-free. To amend this vacuum solution problem, we use Green's function method to compute the plasma current contribution, together with a homogeneous solution to the Grad-Shafranov equation, to construct the full solution. Matching with the Solov'ev solution on the last closed flux surface is performed to determine the homogeneous solution. The total solution is then extended into the vacuum region to get a realistic vacuum solution. We find that the actual vacuum solution is different from the Solov'ev solution in the vacuum region, especially the X-point structure. The X-point obtained at the last closed flux surface is not like the letter "X", and the expanded angle in the vacuum is larger than corresponding angle in the plasma at the null point. The results are important for understanding the X-point and separatrix structure. At the end of the paper, we have extended the classic Solovev's configuration to an ITER-like configuration, and obtained the full solution.

description: In dieser Arbeit präsentieren wir einen theoretischen Ansatz für automatische Musikkomposition mit formalen Grammatiken und einem Fokus auf polyphonen Strukturen. Eine polyphone Struktur beschreibt in diesem Zusammenhang eine Menge musikalischer Entitäten (Noten, Akkorde, Takte, usw.), die nicht ausschließlich sequentiell in der Zeit angeordnet sind. Nachdem das Ergebnis einer Grammatik üblicherweise als Sequenz dargestellt wird, ist die Erzeugung sequentieller Strukturen wie Melodien, Harmoniefolgen und rhythmischer Muster naheliegend und wurde bereits in früheren Arbeiten erforscht. Im Gegensatz dazu assoziieren wir jede musikalische Entität mit einer unabhängigen Zeitspanne, was die Darstellung von sowohl sequentiellen als auch parallelen Anordnungen ermöglicht. Mit überlappenden Entitäten können wir Akkorde, Schlagzeugmuster, und unabhängige Stimmen modellieren---Polyphonie im kleinen und großen Maßstab. Neben einer grundlegenden Diskussion funktionaler Techniken für polyphone Komposition mit nicht-deterministischen, kontextfreien Grammatiken präsentieren wir die Implementierung und praktische Anwendung eines automatisierten Kompositionssystems, das auf diesen Prinzipien basiert.
description: We present a theoretical framework for automatic music composition with formal grammars and a focus on polyphonic structures. In the context of this thesis, a polyphonic structure is any arrangement of musical entities (notes, chords, measures, etc.) that is not purely sequential in the time dimension. Given that the natural output of a grammar is a sequence, the generation of sequential structures, such as melodies, harmonic progressions, and rhythmic patterns, follows intuitively and has already been explored in prior works. By contrast, we associate each musical entity with an independent temporal scope, allowing the representation of both sequential and parallel arrangements. With overlapping entities we can model chords, drum patterns, and parallel voices---polyphony on small and large scales. Beyond a foundational discussion of functional techniques for polyphonic composition with non-deterministic context-free grammars, we demonstrate the implementation and practical application of an automated composition system developed on these principles.

description: The cross section for the photoproduction of events containing three jets with a three-jet invariant mass of M_3J > 50 GeV has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The three-jet angular distributions are inconsistent with a uniform population of the available phase space but are well described by parton shower models and O(alpha alpha_s^2) pQCD calculations. Comparisons with the parton shower model indicate a strong contribution from initial state radiation as well as a sensitivity to the effects of colour coherence.

title: Development of a mesoporous ZrO2-coating for sensing applications using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy

description: Mesoporous silica is an extensively studied material and has been used in ATR-IR sensing schemes due to its high surface area and tuneable surface chemistry. However, the poor chemical stability in aqueous solutions at pH values higher than 8 as well as the strong absorption below 1200 cm-1 limits the range of applications. Therefore, a mesoporous zirconia coating was developed to circumvent these problems.A precursor solution was deposited on Si- and Ge-ATR elements utilising the evaporation induced self-assembly process. The prepared coatings were analysed with XRD, GI-SAXS, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy to evaluate the influence of reaction, coating and ageing parameters. The film thickness and, additionally, the thermal and chemical stability of different coatings were analysed. The pristine coating was used for enrichment studies of the ionic species cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and potassium dihydrogenphosphate. The surface was then chemically modified with silanes and characterised by FTIR spectroscopy, XRD and contact angle measurements. The modified coatings were used for the enrichment of benzonitrile, valeronitrile and benzene.Mesoporous zirconia coatings were successfully prepared and an optimised ageing process developed. Calcination of the coatings at 500°C was necessary to remove the surfactant of the precursor solution and to obtain cubic mesostructures. The mesoporous structure was still present after heating to 900°C in atmospheric conditions and after keeping the coating in aqueous solution at a pH value of 12 for 72 h. Enrichments with ionic species were successful, but not applicable for sensing schemes as the analytes could not be completely removed after enrichment. For potassium dihydrogenphosphate, enrichments with concentrations of 5 mg L-1 were achieved. Fast enrichments of 10 mg L-1 benzonitrile, 25 mg L-1 valeronitrile and 12 mg L-1 benzene were achieved as well as the complete removal of these analytes proving the applicability of these coatings for sensing applications.Further characterisation of the mesoporous zirconia coatings and enrichments of various analytes are necessary to determine possible applications of these coatings.

description: We show how the photon statistics emitted by a large variety of light-matter systems under weak coherent driving can be understood, to lowest order in the driving, in the framework of an admixture of (or interference between) a squeezed state and a coherent state, with the resulting state accounting for all bunching and antibunching features. One can further identify two mechanisms that produce resonances for the photon correlations: i) conventional statistics describes cases that involve a particular quantum level or set of levels in the excitation/emission processes with interferences occurring to all orders in the photon numbers, while unconventional statistics describes cases where the driving laser is far from resonance with any level and the interference occurs for a particular number of photons only, yielding stronger correlations but only for a definite number of photons. Such an understanding and classification allows for a comprehensive and transparent description of the photon statistics from a wide range of disparate systems, where optimum conditions for various types of photon correlations can be found and realized.
