These figures show the temporal velocity changes calculated from the phase delays at each lapse time: from 10 to 20 s, 20–30 s, 30–40 s, 40–50 s, 50–60 s, and 60–70 s. The four colors of broken lines correspond to the occurrence of each low-frequency tremor and to the main shock. (PDF 51 kb)
Constraining Deformation Mechanisms of Fault Damage Zones: A Case Study of the Shallow San Andreas Fault at Elizabeth Lake, Southern California.
Creators: name: Studnicky, Caroline
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Earthquakes nucleate at depth and rupture along the fault plane up to the Earth’s surface releasing seismic energy as the fault propagates. This energy creates the shaking we feel on the surface. Some faults do not rupture and create shaking but deform slowly and smoothly accommodating fault slip over extended time periods. This process is referred to as aseismic slip or creep. Whether a fault ruptures or creeps depends on the properties of the rocks through which the fault plane extends. In order to model seismic hazards correctly, we need to characterize the composition, deformation structures, and alteration materials of the fault-related rocks. In this project, we analyze rocks which have experienced deformation and alteration in the uppermost 2 km of the Earth’s crust along the San Andreas Fault at Elizabeth Lake, CA. We investigate the mechanisms which facilitate slip and energy distribution and accommodation within the fault-related damage zone in order to understand how the upper crust responds to deformation events. We identify deformation structures which indicate that slip is accommodated by both earthquake rupture and aseismic creep processes. The alteration we observe in these rocks provide evidence for fluid-assisted processes which serve to decrease the overall rock strength over multiple earthquake cycles, partially heal the damage structures between deformation events, and accommodate some aseismic fault displacement. From our data, we conclude that the rocks within the San Andreas Fault upper damage zone at Elizabeth Lake, CA are distributing deformation throughout the damage zone via a complex of multiple fault strands and microscopic-slip events within the entire volume of impacted rock. We find that most of the fault motion is likely accommodated by brittle rupture mechanisms but also has a component of aseismic slip which may function concurrently over multiple deformation events. Our characterization of the fault damage zone will help to improve seismic modelling, may help to explain the formation of fault-zone low seismic velocities, and describes the upper fault zone structure’s distribution of energy as voluminous, rather than purely localized deformation.

description: Methyl isocyanide (CH$_3$NC) is the isocyanide with the largest number of atoms confirmed in the interstellar medium (ISM), but it is not an abundant molecule, having only been detected towards a handful of objects. Conversely, its isomer, methyl cyanide (CH$_3$CN), is one of the most abundant complex organic molecules detected in the ISM, with detections in a variety of low- and high-mass sources. We use ALMA observations from the Protostellar Interferometric Line Survey (PILS) to search for methyl isocyanide and compare its abundance with that of its isomer methyl cyanide. We use a new line catalogue from the Cologne Database for Molecular Spectroscopy (CDMS) to identify methyl isocyanide lines. We also model the chemistry with an updated version of the three-phase chemical kinetics model {\em MAGICKAL}, presenting the first chemical modelling of methyl isocyanide to date. We detect methyl isocyanide for the first time in a solar-type protostar, IRAS 16293$-$2422 B, and present upper limits for its companion protostar, IRAS 16293$-$2422 A. Methyl isocyanide is found to be at least 20 times more abundant in source B compared to source A, with a CH$_3$CN/CH$_3$NC abundance ratio of 200 in IRAS 16293--2422 B and >5517 in IRAS 16293$-$2422 A. We also present the results of a chemical model of methyl isocyanide chemistry in both sources, and discuss the implications on methyl isocyanide formation mechanisms and the relative evolutionary stages of both sources.

Topics on direct acyclic graph based distributed ledger technologies with applications
Creators: name: Zhao, Lianna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: In recent years, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) have emerged as ground-breaking innovations, capturing attention across diverse sectors. Functioning as encrypted, shared databases, DLTs enable each participant, or peer, to operate independently within a decentralized network. This architecture provides a secure, unalterable platform for data exchange among users or devices, fostering applications in healthcare, energy, finance, and more. However, traditional Blockchain technology, despite its successes, faces limitations in scalability and energy efficiency, particularly in areas like the Internet of Things (IoTs), the sharing economy, and smart cities. This thesis investigates Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based DLTs, with a focus on the IOTA Tangle, which allows transactions to reference one another in a non-linear, parallel manner, eliminating the need for miners and thereby reducing transaction fees. This makes DAG-based DLTs potentially more suited for IoT and smart city applications, considering their scalability and economic advantages. This thesis investigates the network layer design of DAG-based distributed ledgers and their multifaceted applications. It begins with a foundational overview of DLTs and key aspects of DAG-based network layers, including an introduction to the IOTA Tangle. The study then evaluates a novel access control protocol for DAG-based DLTs, proposing enhancements to strengthen security against vulnerabilities and various attack scenarios. An algorithm to regulate block addition in DAG networks is presented, crucial for ensuring block validity, managing the tip pool size, and upholding ledger consistency. The thesis also introduces a unique user-node interaction model for DAG environments, aimed at optimizing traffic distribution across nodes to enhance service quality for users. It further explores DLT's role in facilitating social contracts and influencing agent behavior in smart city contexts. Demonstrating a practical application, the thesis unveils a prototype of a wearable smart mask, designed to encourage mask-wearing through incentive mechanisms, illustrating the potential of DAG-based DLTs in real-world scenarios.

description: In heavy-ion collisions, $J/ψ$ and Drell-Yan production are expected to be affected by nuclear modifications to the free nucleon structure functions. If these modifications, known as shadowing, are proportional to the local nuclear density, the per nucleon cross sections will depend on centrality. Differences in quark and gluon shadowing will lead to a new source of impact parameter dependence of the $J/ψ$ to Drell-Yan production ratio. We calculate this ratio in the CERN NA50 acceptance with several shadowing parameterizations to explore its centrality dependence.

description: We study the constraints on the parameter space of the supersymmetric standard model extended by a gauge singlet, which arise from the absence of global minima of the effective potential with slepton or squark vevs. Particular attention is paid to the so-called ``UFB'' directions in field space, which are F-flat in the MSSM. Although these directions are no longer F-flat in the (M+1)SSM, we show that the corresponding MSSM-like constraints on m_0/M_{1/2} apply also to the (M+1)SSM. The net effect of all constraints on the parameter space are more dramatic than in the MSSM. We discuss the phenomenological implications of these constraints.

Generation of Sheep Models of Cystic Fibrosis by Gene Editing and Cloning
Creators: name: Périssé, Iuri Viótti
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that affects over 80,000 people worldwide and is caused by mutations that disrupt the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene. This gene encodes a channel protein that regulates ion transport in cells. The most common mutation in the human CFTR gene is F508del, which is characterized by the deletion of a phenylalanine amino acid in the CFTR protein. The second most common mutation is G542X, a protein synthesis “stop” mutation that prevents the production of the CFTR channel protein. An impediment that prevents the further understanding CF is the limited ability of most animal models to recapitulate some aspects of CF observed in humans. Sheep be a relevant animal model for CF due to the similarity of CFTR gene/protein, anatomy, physiology, body weight, and size between sheep and humans.
We hypothesized that a sheep models of CF disease could replicate the severe abnormalities seen in human CF patients. Our CF sheep models exhibit severe abnormalities consistent with CF pathology in human patients. The primary cause of death of CF sheep is the intestinal obstruction that occurred in all CF lambs. Thereby, we aimed to genetically modify CF sheep to create animal models to better understand initiation and progression of CF and for the discovery of new therapeutics to treat CF patients.

Examining the Use of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy in Undergraduate Mathematics Learning Modules with Students of Color
Creators: name: Mgonja, Thomas A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: In mathematics, Students of Color have persistently performed lower than their White counterparts, thus creating a need to explore instructional methods that could reduce performance disparities. This study investigated culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP) to understand how it might support students’ mathematics learning in undergraduate mathematics learning modules. The overarching research question focused on how CRP in undergraduate mathematics Learning Modules supported students’ mathematics learning. There were also two main questions that focused on participants’ evaluations of the CRP modules and how those evaluations were reported based on subgroups (Students of Color and White). The researcher employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design where quantitative and qualitative analysis examined participants’ performance and evaluations of the modules, respectively.
After experiencing the modules, most participants demonstrated performance gains, however, Students of Color outperformed White participants. Participants identified the presence of culture, real-world examples, safe and positive student to student interactions, learning aids rooted in real data, and the development of critical consciousness as the most effective aspects of the CRP modules. Students of Color were more likely than White participants to discuss elevated feelings of motivation and engagement, feelings of being listened to and included in the learning process, a connection to the instructor through similar perspectives, and reduced fears of being judged. White participants were more likely than Students of Color to discuss the high quality of the instructor’s skills and that they learned from their interactions with Students of Color. White participants had a higher curiosity (than Students of Color) toward better understanding the social issues presented in the CRP modules. Regardless of race/ethnicity, all participants preferred learning mathematics with the CRP modules over traditional methods.
Based on these results, the researcher recommends the use of real-world examples that are culturally relevant, current, and genuinely provoke students to interrogate social issues through mathematics. He also recommends that, in CRP, educators must participate like students, allow independent thought, and be culturally competent in order to develop positive relationships with Students of Color. These results are important because they demonstrate how CRP can be implemented and that Students of Color can excel in mathematics.

Some coordinate transformations relevant to refractive indices

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: The paper focuses on applying the algebra of octonions to study some coordinate transformations in the octonion spaces, exploring the contribution of partial field potential on the speed of light. J. C. Maxwell was the first to introduce the quaternions to describe the physical properties of electromagnetic fields. Nowadays the octonions can be applied to study simultaneously the physical quantities of electromagnetic and gravitational fields, including the transformation between two coordinate systems. In the octonion space, the radius vector can be combined with the integrating function of field potential to become one composite radius vector. The latter is considered as the radius vector in an octonion composite space, which belongs to the function spaces. In the octonion composite space, when there is the relative motion between two coordinate systems, it is capable of deducing the Galilean-like transformation and Lorentz-like transformation. From the two transformations, one can achieve the influence of relative speed on the speed of light (or Sagnac effect), but also the impact of partial electromagnetic potential on the speed of light. The study states that the partial electromagnetic potential has a direct influence on the speed of light in the optical waveguides, revealing several influencing factors of refractive indices in the optical waveguides.

description: This case study identifies college outcomes data transparency and accountability beliefs held by policy-makers, higher education associations, advocacy groups, think tanks, and other actors in the federal higher education policy domain, as well as how these beliefs have changed since the last reauthorization of the Higher Education Act in 2008. Using the Advocacy Coalition Framework to examine policy beliefs and policy change, I investigate the ways in which data were used by policy actors to advocate for preferred policies, and how actors’ own policy beliefs were influenced by data. This study’s data collection consisted of 26 semi-structured interviews with federal policy actors and document analysis of special interest group position papers; media statements from special interest groups and members of the executive and legislative branches of government; public comments submitted to the Department of Education during notice and comment periods; congressional hearings; and legislative proposals. While nearly all higher education policy actors shared beliefs about the need for more transparency of outcomes data, actors disagreed on the need for federal consequential accountability in response to such outcomes data. Two advocacy coalitions were defined by this split in beliefs on accountability: a No Accountability coalition and an Accountability coalition. Actors engaged in several strategies to advocate for preferred policies, most notably providing technical assistance to legislative staff by analyzing data to assess the impacts of proposed legislative or regulatory changes or to help staffers interpret complex data; drafting legislative language; and using data and analysis in direct lobbying of Congress. The increasing data transparency, particularly related to wage and debt outcomes, from the College Scorecard and other data sources has allowed the Accountability coalition to develop metrics and reify concepts about individuals’ return on investment in higher education, elevating the outcomes accountability issue beyond the policy field and into the broader public consciousness.

Understanding Community Resilience Resources and Experiences of Inequity within the LGBTQ+ Community: Implications for Identity and Mental Health Disparities
Creators: name: Parmenter, Joshua G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Being a part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer plus (LGBTQ+) community has been linked with positive well-being. Research has established that the LGBTQ+ community has community-level resources (e.g., connection, belonging, shared hardships) that sexual and gender diverse people can utilize to cope in the face of discrimination (i.e., community resilience). However, due to various forms of discrimination and oppression, those with marginalized identities within the LGBTQ+ community (i.e., LGBTQ+ people of color, plurisexual, gender diverse) may not have equal access to LGBTQ+ community resilience resources.
This dissertation is composed of three separate studies aimed at understanding sexual and gender diverse people’s experiences with community resilience resources and inequity within the LGBTQ+ community. The first of three studies recruited 14 LGBTQ+ people of color to explore their experiences within the LGBTQ+ community. Participants from the first study shared positive experiences within the broader LGBTQ+ community, such as shared narratives and hardships, engagement in social justice, and making space within the LGBTQ+ community for the intersections of their LGBTQ+ and ethnoracial identities. However, LGBTQ+ people of color also shared experiences of inequity and discrimination that occurred within the broader LGBTQ+ community, which limited access to LGBTQ+ community resilience resources and silenced people of color within the LGBTQ+ community.
The second and third study were conducted using survey data from a larger study of 527 sexual and gender diverse people. A measure was developed and validated for the second study to assess an individuals’ experiences with community resilience resources and inequity within the LGBTQ+ community. The new measure is appropriate for researchers, mental health providers, and LGBTQ+ community organizations to use to examine experiences within the LGBTQ+ community. The third study used the newly validated measure from study two to examine patterns of advantage and disadvantage within the LGBTQ+ community. Results yielded four profiles of experiences (i.e., marginalized, neutral, disengaged, and embedded) among LGBTQ+ participants and that profiles predicted mental health outcomes. It is our hope that findings from the dissertation study will be used for advocacy and decreasing inequity within the LGBTQ+ community.
Topological Extensions of Noether Charge Algebras carried by D-p-branes

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We derive the fully extended supersymmetry algebra carried by D-branes in a massless type IIA superspace vacuum. We find that the extended algebra contains not only topological charges that probe the presence of compact spacetime dimensions but also pieces that measure non-trivial configurations of the gauge field on the worldvolume of the brane. Furthermore there are terms that measure the coupling of the non-triviality of the worldvolume regarded as a U(1)-bundle of the gauge field to possible compact spacetime dimensions. In particular, the extended algebra carried by the D-2-brane can contain the charge of a Dirac monopole of the gauge field. In the course of this work we derive a set of generalized Gamma-matrix identities that include the ones presently known for the IIA case. In the first part of the paper we give an introduction to the basic notions of Noether current algebras and charge algebras; furthermore we find a Theorem that describes in a general context how the presence of a gauge field on the worldvolume of an embedded object transforming under the symmetry group on the target space alters the algebra of the Noether charges, which otherwise would be the same as the algebra of the symmetry group. This is a phenomenon recently found by Sorokin and Townsend in the case of the M-5-brane, but here we show that it holds quite generally, and in particular also in the case of D-branes.

description: Spectral and spectral element methods using Galerkin type formulations are efficient for solving linear fractional PDEs (FPDEs) of constant order but are not efficient in solving nonlinear FPDEs and cannot handle FPDEs with variable-order. In this paper, we present a multi-domain spectral collocation method that addresses these limitations. We consider FPDEs in the Riemann-Liouville sense, and employ Jacobi Lagrangian interpolants to represent the solution in each element. We provide variable-order differentiation formulas, which can be computed efficiently for the multi-domain discretization taking into account the nonlocal interactions. We enforce the interface continuity conditions by matching the solution values at the element boundaries via the Lagrangian interpolants, and in addition we minimize the jump in (integer) fluxes using a penalty method. We analyze numerically the effect of the penalty parameter on the condition number of the global differentiation matrix and on the stability and convergence of the penalty collocation scheme. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method for the fractional Helmholtz equation of constant and variable-order using $h-p$ refinement for different values of the penalty parameter. We also solve the fractional Burgers equation with constant and variable-order and compare with solutions obtained with a single domain spectral collocation method.

description: Temporal variations in 15-day ACFs at Station S27. (a) 15-day ACFs calculated from OBS data over 15 continuous days, including the 7 days before and after the given date. The ACFs plotted in red are in the SSE period, and the bottom ACF is the reference ACF, calculated for the month from November 19 to December 19. (b) The cross-correlation coefficient between the 15-day ACFs and the reference ACF, using a 15 s time window and zero lag time. The period between the black triangles corresponds to the SSE period, and the periods between the red, blue, and green triangles correspond to low-frequency tremor periods in Sequences 1, 2, and 3. The magenta broken line represents the main shock. (c) Phase variation in the 15-day ACFs relative to the reference ACF, using a 15 s time window. Warm colors represent phase progressions, and cold colors represent phase delays. The four pairs of triangles and the magenta broken line correspond to each period and the main shock described in (b). (PDF 1881 kb)

description: It is (or should be) well known that specification of a heat bath requires both a temperature and a 4-velocity, the rest frame of the heat bath. In static spacetimes there is a very natural and unique candidate for the 4-velocity of the heat bath, the normalized timelike Killing vector. However in stationary non-static spacetimes the situation is considerably more subtle, and several different "natural" 4-velocity fields suitable for characterizing the rest frame of a heat bath can be defined - thus Buchdahl's 1949 analysis for the Tolman temperature gradient in a stationary spacetime is only part of the story. In particular, the heat bath most suitable for describing the Hawking radiation from a rotating black hole is best described in terms of a gradient flow normal to the spacelike hypersurfaces, not in terms of Killing vectors.

Evaluating camera trap data for studying spatiotemporal avoidance and predation between mammal species across a gradient of habitat degradation

description: Ongoing climate change and anthropogenic disturbance negatively impact biodiversity. We must be able to capture, monitor and understand how ecosystem processes, such as, species interactions, are impacted so that we are better positioned to protect against further biodiversity loss. One inherent challenge is data collection. Camera traps enable us to remotely capture large volumes of data with minimal disturbance to behaviour, but current automated classification methods are unable to generalise well across locations. I investigate the ability of convolutional neural networks to generalise across a gradient of habitat degradation within a camera trap dataset collected in tropical forest. I found generalisability was poor, but was helped by using a detector-classifier combination. Methods are needed to detect interaction signals from the large volume of camera trap data. Here, I apply statistical methods to test for spatiotemporal avoidance across land-use and disturbance gradients, using the hypothesised avoidance of humans by bearded pigs as a case study. The results did not support the hypothesis, but highlighted the need to understand the data requirements to power the method. Using an agent-based model to simulate animal movement and generate a camera trap dataset, I test our ability to detect species interactions at varying population and camera trap densities, and interaction strengths. The results showed the difficulty in discerning the type of interaction, and in detecting avoidance behaviour across a range of parameters, despite the large volume of simulated data. The use of camera trap data for ecological analyses is a growing field, with the potential for transformative analysis, including in our understanding of species interactions. Reliable rapid processing of the images, as well as sensitive methods to detect interactions, are, however, still lacking, and further development is needed to better quantify species’ responses to anthropogenic disturbance in order to identify the species most impacted.

Comparative Study of Machine Learning Models on Solar Flare Prediction Problem

description: Solar flare events are explosions of energy and radiation from the Sun’s surface. These events occur due to the tangling and twisting of magnetic fields associated with sunspots. When Coronal Mass ejections accompany solar flares, solar storms could travel towards earth at very high speeds, disrupting all earthly technologies and posing radiation hazards to astronauts. For this reason, the prediction of solar flares has become a crucial aspect of forecasting space weather. Our thesis utilized the time-series data consisting of active solar region magnetic field parameters acquired from SDO that span more than eight years. The classification models take AR data from an observation period of 12 hours as input to predict the occurrence of flare in next 24 hours. We performed preprocessing and feature selection to find optimal feature space consisting of 28 active region parameters that made our multivariate time series dataset (MVTS). For the first time, we modeled the flare prediction task as a 4-class problem and explored a comprehensive set of machine learning models to identify the most suitable model. This research achieved a state-of-the-art true skill statistic (TSS) of 0.92 with a 99.9% recall of X-/M- class flares on our time series forest model. This was accomplished with the augmented dataset in which the minority class is over-sampled using synthetic samples generated by SMOTE and the majority classes are randomly under-sampled. This work has established a robust dataset and baseline models for future studies in this task, including experiments on remedies to tackle the class imbalance problem such as weighted cost functions and data augmentation. Also the time series classifiers implemented will enable shapelets mining that can provide interpreting ability to domain experts.
Surrogate Optimization Model for an Integrated Regenerative Methanol Transcritical Cycle

description: In order to reduce the cost ($) per megawatts hour (MWh) of electrical energy generated by a nuclear power cycle with a novel small modular reactor (SMR), a new SMR-based nuclear power cycle with Methanol as working fluid was designed. It was built virtually with the Python & Coolprop software based on all components’ physical properties, and it is therefore called the physics-based model. The physics-based model would require seven user-defined values as input for the seven free design parameters, respectively. The physics-based model outcomes include LCOE (the cost per megawatts hour of electrical energy generated by the cycle), the first-law efficiency of the power cycle (the ratio between the net power out of the power cycle and the net thermal energy into the power cycle), and the penalty (severity of system violation with the given design parameters values). In order to compare between different power cycles, the corresponding optimized LCOE are needed. However, in order to find the design parameters that optimize the system LCOE, it can take up to three days with the physics-based model, because the physics-based model is highly complex and it takes thousands of iterations averagely to the optimize the power system.
In confronting the time complexity issue in optimization, the study in this paper explores the viability of replacing the physics-based model with a machine learning-based surrogate model. During the optimization procedure, the machine learning-based surrogate model is expected to accelerate process of finding the corresponding outcomes, and thus to save time. Candidate surrogate models are built and analyzed in terms of their prediction accuracy. The last chosen model is further optimized in terms of its structure and hyper-parameters. With the structurally and parametric optimized surrogate model being incorporated, different global optimizers are used and analyzed. As the result, the optimized design parameters from the surrogate-optimizer model are fed into the physics-based model, and their corresponding results are compared with the baseline optimized results of the physics-based model.
In conclusion, the study reveals that the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) networks with two hidden layers gives the best prediction performance, and therefore they are chosen as the surrogate model. In addition, four global optimizers, namely the basinhopping, the differential evolution, the dual annealing and the fmin, are working well along with the chosen surrogate model. They integrated surrogate-optimizer model is capable of finding the optimized LCOE as well as the corresponding design parameters. In comparison with the baseline optimized LCOE, the relative error is less than 3.5%, and this searching procedure completed within 30 minutes.

description: We generalize the Gibbons-Wiltshire solution of four dimensional Kaluza-Klein black holes in order to describe Type IIA solutions of bound states of D6 and D0-branes. We probe the solutions with a D6-brane and a D0-brane. We also probe a system of D2+D0-branes and of a D2-brane bound to a F1-string with a D2-brane. A precise agreement between the SYM and the SUGRA calculations is found for the static force as well as for the $v^2$ force in all cases.

description: This thesis explores the ideas of Diane Ravitch and Michelle Rhee as representatives of the contemporary American education reform debate in an attempt to examine the convergences between neo-liberal and liberal thought. It employs a symptomatic reading of the former's Reign of Error and the latter's Radical to uncover a shared orientation toward the question of labor and interrogate the democratic critique of neo-liberal reform agendas. The study finds that the omission of capitalism is characteristic of both and reveals commonalities between Ravitch and Rhee's orientation to the teaching profession. It concludes that liberal and neo-liberal reform proposals are virtually the same in this respect despite surface distinctions such as the former's commitment to democratic organization and latter's infatuation with market governance.
