description: We develop a coupled nonlinear oscillator model involving magnetization and strain to explain several experimentally observed dynamical features exhibited by forced magnetostrictive ribbon. Here we show that the model recovers the observed period doubling route to chaos as function of the dc field for a fixed ac field and quasiperiodic route to chaos as a function of the ac field, keeping the dc field constant. The model also predicts induced and suppressed chaos under the influence of an additional small-amplitude near resonant ac field. Our analysis suggests rich dynamics in coupled order parameter systems like magnetomartensitic and magnetoelectric materials.

description: Rapid repair of damaged or deteriorated concrete bridge components will prevent the entire bridge from suffering irreversible damage in the future due to gradual spalling of concrete or corrosion of exposed steel. CFRP laminates and fabrics have become popular for repairing and strengthening of concrete girders. A series of CFRP materials — branded CatStrong — specifically designed for the repair and retrofit of bridges was developed at the Kentucky Transportation Center and the University of Kentucky. These materials include the CFRP Rod Panels (CatStrong CRPs), Unidirectional and Triaxial Carbon Fabric (CatStrong UCF and TCF), and Triaxial Carbon Wrap (CatStrong TCW).

This study documented the implementation of CFRP materials to rapidly repair/strengthen six bridges in Kentucky. Three of the retrofit projects utilized CatStrong CRPs for strengthening reinforced concrete bridge girders. Because the CRPs have modular construction, they can easily be applied by a by a single worker, eliminating the need for extensive scaffolding/access equipment and a large work force. As such, the construction costs related to panel application is less than those for other retrofit measures. CatStrong TCW, combined with CatStrong TCF, was deployed for the repair and strengthening of deteriorated timber piles. The remaining two projects involved the use of CatStrong UCF and TCF for strengthening cracked prestressed concrete girder ends and strengthening a cracked bridge pier cap. Each bridge retrofit project was carried out by Kentucky Transportation Cabinet bridge maintenance crews. The crews were trained on the use and application of the new material. Design and construction specifications for the CatStrong CRPs were also developed as part of the study. This study will implement these new CFRP materials to rapidly repair/strengthen six selected bridges in Kentucky. Three of the retrofit projects utilized CatStrong CRPs for strengthening Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridge girders. The modular construction of the CRPs allows for easy application by a single worker without the need for extensive scaffolding/access equipment and a large work force. Consequently, application of the panels reduces construction costs when compared with other FRP retrofit measures. The CatStrong TCW, combined with CatStrong TCF, was deployed for the repair and strengthening of deteriorated timber piles. The remaining two projects involved the use of CatStrong UCF and TCF for strengthening cracked Prestressed Concrete (PC) girder ends and strengthening a cracked bridge pier cap. Each bridge retrofit project was carried out by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) bridge maintenance crew of the respective KYTC district. The crews were trained on the use and application of the new material. Design and Construction Specifications for the CatStrong CRPs were also developed as part of the study.

description: Im März 1900 gründeten Olga Wisinger-Florian, Marie Egner, Teresa Feodorowna Ries, Marie Müller, Bertha von Tarnòczy, Marianne von Eschenburg, Susanne Granitsch und Eugenie Breithut-Munk die Gruppe der \AK, die zwischen 1901 und 1912 zusammen mit eingeladenen Gastkünstlerinnen im Kunstsalon Pisko, im oberösterreichischen Kunstverein und auf der \azuo{Imperial Royal Austrian Exhibition}. ausstellte. Diese gemeinschaftliche Präsentation von Frauenschöpfungen – darunter überwiegend Malereien, aber auch Plastiken und kunsthandwerkliche Objekte – war in der patriarchalen Kulturlandschaft der ausgehenden Habsburgermonarchie einmalig. In meiner Masterarbeit gehe ich daher der Frage nach, wie sich diese Künstlerinnenvereinigung in Wien am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts organisierte. Da die Gruppe in der bisherigen Literatur wenig Beachtung gefunden hat, arbeite ich vorwiegend mit Primärquellen. Dazu gehören Ausstellungskataloge, Zeitungsartikel, zeitgenössische Publikationen, wie die Künstlerlexika von Murau und Martinez, Tagebucheinträge von Wisinger-Florian und Egner, sowie der Briefverkehr zwischen Eschenburg beziehungsweise Wisinger-Florian und den Gastkünstlerinnen. Ich kontextualisiere meine Forschungen mit zwei Kapiteln zur Situation von Künstlerinnen im 19. Jahrhundert. Dabei arbeite ich insbesondere die Ausbildungsbedingungen, Tätigkeitsfelder und Ausstellungsmöglichkeiten für Frauen, sowie das Zusammenspiel mit der Frauenrechtsbewegung heraus. Kernstück meiner Arbeit sind die Biographien der einzelnen Mitglieder, sowie meine Forschungen zu den Acht Künstlerinnen als Ausstellungs-Gemeinschaft. Ich untersuche die Umstände der Gründung, die Planung und Durchführung der Ausstellungen, die Netzwerke und Beziehungen zu Gastkünstlerinnen, die Kritiken in zeitgenössischen Berichten sowie die Probleme und schließlich die Auflösung der Gruppe.

description: We associate an algebra $\Gami(\fA)$ to each bornological algebra $\fA$. The algebra $\Gami(\fA)$ contains a two-sided ideal $I_{S(\fA)}$ for each symmetric ideal $S\triqui\elli$ of bounded sequences of complex numbers. In the case of $\Gami=\Gami(\C)$, these are all the two-sided ideals, and $I_S\mapsto J_S=\cB I_S\cB$ gives a bijection between the two-sided ideals of $\Gami$ and those of $\cB=\cB(\ell^2)$. We prove that Weibel's $K$-theory groups $KH_*(I_{S(\fA)})$ are homotopy invariant for certain ideals $S$ including $c_0$ and $\ell^p$. Moreover, if either $S=c_0$ and $\fA$ is a local $C^*$-algebra or $S=\ell^p,\ell^{p\pm}$ and $\fA$ is a local Banach algebra, then $KH_*(I_{S(\fA)})$ contains $K_*^{\top}(\fA)$ as a direct summand. Furthermore, we prove that for $S\in\{c_0,\ell^p,\ell^{p\pm}\}$ the map $K_*(Γ^\infty(\fA):I_{S(\fA)})\to KH_*(I_{S(\fA)})$ fits into a long exact sequence with the relative cyclic homology groups $HC_*(Γ^\infty(\fA):I_{S(\fA)})$. Thus the latter groups measure the failure of the former map to be an isomorphism.

description: We consider non-equilibrium quantum steady states in conformal field theory (CFT) on star-graph configurations, with a particular, simple connection condition at the vertex of the graph. These steady states occur after a large time as a result of initially thermalizing the legs of the graph at different temperatures, and carry energy flows. Using purely Virasoro algebraic calculations we evaluate the exact long-time cumulant generating function for these flows. We show that this function satisfies a generalization of the usual non-equilibrium fluctuation relations. This extends the results by two of the authors (J. Phys. A 45: 362001, 2012; arXiv:1302.3125) to the cases of more than two legs. It also provides an alternative derivation centered on Virasoro algebra operators rather than local fields, hence an alternative regularization scheme, thus confirming the validity and universality of the long-time cumulant generating function. Our derivation shows how the usual Virasoro algebra leads, in large volumes, to a continuous-index Virasoro algebra for which we develop diagramatic principles, which may be of interest in other non-equilibrium contexts as well. Finally, our results shed light on the Poisson process interpretation of the long-time energy transfer in CFT.

The longitudinal stability of a flying-boat in the planing condition as computed from tank test data of a hull model
Creators: name: Hatton, George Anthony
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1940
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: The question of “porpoising” of flying-boats has been the subject of investigation both abroad and in the United States.  In Germany and England recourse has been had to the use of dynamically similar models, duplicating in the model as closely as possible all the features of the full scale flying-boat.  In the towing tanks of the United States, usually a bare hull is tested, where measurements are made of resistance, load, trimming moment, and trim angle at various speeds.  The results are usually furnished in the form of curves of trimming moment and draft against speed at various loadings and trim angles.  Conclusions regarding “porpoising” of the full scale flying-boat cannot be drawn from the behavior of the hull alone, but it is considered possible to evaluate certain hydrodynamic stability derivatives, which, in conjunction with aerodynamic derivatives obtained from wind-tunnel tests, may be used in the stability equation to determine the behavior of the flying-boat in the planning condition.

In the following discussion the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic derivatives are deduced.  The aerodynamic derivatives are similar to those normally used for airplanes, but they are evaluated in terms of beam, trim angle, and other hydrodynamic terms; then the hydrodynamic derivatives are deduced, also in terms of hull dimensions and attitudes.  This permits direct addition of the hydrodynamic and aerodynamic derivatives for use in the longitudinal stability equation.  The criteria of stability then are applied.   In addition, a factorization of the stability quartic, formulated by Dr. Millikan, is applied to determine periods of the oscillations, as well as damping factors.

An example following the procedure above outlined and devised by Dr. Millikan is presented, using tank test data of a model 36 hull for hydrodynamic quantities.  The aerodynamic quantities are based on an average of many modern flying-boats.  The model 36 hull is selected as being fairly representative of present day flying boats.

description: Impact dynamics is measured for spherical and cylindrical projectiles of many different densities dropped onto a variety non-cohesive granular media. The results are analyzed in terms of the material-dependent scaling of the inertial and frictional drag contributions to the total stopping force. The inertial drag force scales similar to that in fluids, except that it depends on the internal friction coefficient. The frictional drag force scales as the square-root of the density of granular medium and projectile, and hence cannot be explained by the combination of granular hydrostatic pressure and Coulomb friction law. The combined results provide an explanation for the previously-observed penetration depth scaling.

description: Während die Begriffe "grüne Wirtschaft" und "Dekarbonisierung der Wirtschaft" weit verbreitet sind und das kollektive Bewusstsein für die Folgen des anthropogenen Klimawandels zunehmend erwacht, wurden die ins Stocken geratenen Welthandelsorganisation-Verhandlungen im Rahmen der Doha-Runde sowohl mit großer Erwartung als auch mit wachsender Skepsis aufgenommen. In der Präambel des Marrakesch-Abkommens, mit dem die Welthandelsorganisation gegründet wurde, sind jedoch neben den "Handels- und Wirtschaftsbestrebungen" unmissverständlich einige weiteren Ziele verankert: die "optimale Nutzung der Ressourcen der Welt", die "nachhaltige Entwicklung" und der "Schutz und die Erhaltung der Umwelt". Es ist daher von größter Wichtigkeit zu definieren, welche Beziehung zwischen der Welthandelsorganisation und der Umwelt herangereift ist, da dieser Umstand weitere Fortschritte auch im Hinblick auf den Klimawandel beeinflusst und inspiriert. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die Entwicklung und die Auswirkungen der Verflechtung des Umweltregimes - als Vorreiter - und des Klimaregimes mit dem multilateralen Handelssystem. Er analysiert einige relevante Grundsätze, Theorien und ausgewählte Rechtsfälle und identifiziert das Welthandelsorganisation-Streitbeilegungssystem als geeigneten und vielversprechenden Ort für klimabezogene Rechtsstreitigkeiten.
description: While the concepts of "green economy", "decarbonisation of the economy" have become widespread and the collective conscience increasingly awakened to the consequences of anthropogenic climate change, the stalling WTO negotiations at the Doha Round were met with much anticipation and growing scepticism alike. Yet, in the Preamble of the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the WTO some additional objectives, beside the 'trade and economic endeavour', are unmistakably engraved: the 'optimal use of the world's resources', 'sustainable development', and 'to protect and preserve the environment'. It is therefore paramount to define what relationship has matured between the WTO and the environment, since this circumstance effects and inspires further progress also concerning climate change. The present contribution explores the evolution and the impacts of the intertwining of the environmental regime - as pioneer - and climate-change regime, with that of the multilateral trading system. It analyses some relevant principles, theories, and selected case law, identifying the WTO Dispute Settlement System as a suitable and promising venue for climate-related litigation.

description: We prepare a superposition of two motional states by addressing lithium atoms immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate of sodium with a species-selective potential. The evolution of the superposition state is characterized by the populations of the constituent states as well as their coherence. The latter we extract employing a novel scheme analogous to the spin-echo technique. Comparing the results directly to measurements on freely-evolving fermions allows us to isolate the decoherence effects induced by the bath. In our system, the decoherence time is close to the maximal possible value since the decoherence is dominated by population relaxation processes. The measured data are in good agreement with a theoretical model based on Fermi's golden rule.

description: The geology exposed at the surface in the southern Illinois Basin has been mapped in great detail by countless workers over the past century. With the exception of limited and scattered exposures in incised river valleys, the oldest rocks exposed outside of the Jessamine, Nashville, and Ozark Domes surrounding the Illinois Basin are Mississippian in age. Extensive deposits of Cambrian–Devonian sediments occur in the subsurface above crystalline basement in this region, however. All available data for the region were analyzed to produce a single, comprehensive set of interpretations. The data used in this study include 1:24,000-scale geologic quadrangle maps, oil and gas well data from 1,764 wells, more than 900 mi of proprietary reflection-seismic profiles, and public-domain potential-fields data (gravity and aeromagnetic surveys). The data were used to interpret the structure of eight stratigraphic horizons in the subsurface: the top and base of the New Albany Shale, the top and base of the Maquoketa Shale, the top of the Knox Supergroup, the top of the Eau Claire Formation, the top of the Reelfoot Arkose, and the top of Precambrian basement rocks.

description: The theory of p-local compact groups, developed in an earlier paper by the same authors, is designed to give a unified framework in which to study the p-local homotopy theory of classifying spaces of compact Lie groups and p-compact groups, as well as some other families of a similar nature. It also includes, and in many aspects generalizes, the earlier theory of p-local finite groups. In this paper we show that the theory extends to include classifying spaces of finite loop spaces. Our main theorem is in fact more general and states that in a fibration whose base spaces if the classifying space of a finite group, and whose fibre is the classifying space of a p-local compact group, the total space is, up to p-completion the classifying space of a p-local compact group.

description: We report the use of bilayer graphene as an atomically-smooth contact for nanoscale devices. A two-terminal Bucky ball (C60) based molecular memory is fabricated with bilayer graphene as a contact on the polycrystalline nickel electrode. Graphene provides an atomically-smooth covering over an otherwise rough metal surface. The use of graphene additionally prohibits the electromigration of nickel atoms into the C60 layer. The devices exhibit a low-resistance state in the first sweep cycle and irreversibly switch to a high resistance state at 0.8-1.2 V bias. The reverse sweep has a hysteresis behavior as well. In the subsequent cycles, the devices retain the high-resistance state, thus making it write-once read-many memory (WORM). The ratio of current in low-resistance to high-resistance state is lying in 20-40 range for various devices with excellent retention characteristics. Control sample without the bilayer graphene shows random hysteresis and switching.

description: One of the outstanding problems in all of space science is uncovering how the solar corona is heated to temperatures greater than 1 MK. Though studied for decades, one of the major difficulties in solving this problem has been unraveling the line-of-sight (LOS) effects in the observations. The corona is optically thin, so a single pixel measures counts from an indeterminate number (perhaps tens of thousands) of independently heated flux tubes, all along that pixel's LOS. In this paper we model the emission in individual pixels imaging the active region corona in the Extreme Ultraviolet. If LOS effects are not properly taken into account, erroneous conclusions regarding both coronal heating and coronal dynamics may be reached. We model the corona as a LOS integration of many thousands of completely independently heated flux tubes. We demonstrate that despite the superposition of randomly heated flux tubes, nanoflares leave distinct signatures in light curves observed with multi-wavelength and high time cadence data, such as those data taken with the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory. These signatures are readily detected with the time-lag analysis technique of Viall & Klimchuk (2012). Steady coronal heating leaves a different and equally distinct signature that is also revealed by the technique.

description: Black hole-neutron star mergers resulting in the disruption of the neutron star and the formation of an accretion disk and/or the ejection of unbound material are prime candidates for the joint detection of gravitational-wave and electromagnetic signals when the next generation of gravitational-wave detectors comes online. However, the disruption of the neutron star and the properties of the post-merger remnant are very sensitive to the parameters of the binary. In this paper, we study the impact of the radius of the neutron star and the alignment of the black hole spin for systems within the range of mass ratio currently deemed most likely for field binaries (M_BH ~ 7 M_NS) and for black hole spins large enough for the neutron star to disrupt (J/M^2=0.9). We find that: (i) In this regime, the merger is particularly sensitive to the radius of the neutron star, with remnant masses varying from 0.3M_NS to 0.1M_NS for changes of only 2 km in the NS radius; (ii) 0.01-0.05M_sun of unbound material can be ejected with kinetic energy >10^51 ergs, a significant increase compared to low mass ratio, low spin binaries. This ejecta could power detectable optical and radio afterglows. (iii) Only a small fraction (<3%) of the Advanced LIGO events in this parameter range have gravitational-wave signals which could offer constraints on the equation of state of the neutron star. (iv) A misaligned black hole spin works against disk formation, with less neutron star material remaining outside of the black hole after merger, and a larger fraction of that material remaining in the tidal tail instead of the forming accretion disk. (v) Large kicks (v>300 km/s) can be given to the final black hole as a result of a precessing BHNS merger, when the disruption of the neutron star occurs just outside or within the innermost stable spherical orbit.

description: This article presents results from the first statistically significant study of cost escalation in transportation infrastructure projects. Based on a sample of 258 transportation infrastructure projects worth US$90 billion and representing different project types, geographical regions, and historical periods, it is found with overwhelming statistical significance that the cost estimates used to decide whether such projects should be built are highly and systematically misleading. Underestimation cannot be explained by error and is best explained by strategic misrepresentation, that is, lying. The policy implications are clear: legislators, administrators, investors, media representatives, and members of the public who value honest numbers should not trust cost estimates and cost-benefit analyses produced by project promoters and their analysts.

1 Hz Flaring in the Accreting Millisecond Pulsar NGC 6440 X-2: Disk Trapping and Accretion Cycles

Year: 2013

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The dynamics of the plasma in the inner regions of an accretion disk around accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars is controlled by the magnetic field of the neutron star. The interaction between an accretion disk and a strong magnetic field is not well-understood, particularly at low accretion rates (the so-called ``propeller regime'). This is due in part to the lack of clear observational diagnostics to constrain the physics of the disk-field interaction. Here we associate the strong ~1 Hz modulation seen in the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar NGC 6440 X-2 with an instability that arises when the inner edge of the accretion disk is close to the corotation radius (where the stellar rotation rate matches the Keplerian speed in the disk). A similar modulation has previously been observed in another accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar (SAX J1808.4-3658) and we suggest that the two phenomena are related and that this may be a common phenomenon among other magnetized systems. Detailed comparisons with theoretical models suggest that when the instability is observed, the interaction region between the disk and the field is very narrow -- of the order of 1 km. Modelling further suggests that there is a transition region (~1-10 km) around the corotation radius where the disk-field torque changes sign from spin up to spin down. This is the first time that a direct observational constraint has been placed on the width of the disk-magnetosphere interaction region, in the frame of the trapped-disk instability model.

Generation of the Higgs Condensate and Its Decay after Inflation

description: We investigate the dynamics of the Standard Model higgs with a minimal coupling to gravity during and after inflation. In the regime where the Standard Model vacuum is stable, we find that the higgs becomes a light spectator field after about 30 efolds of inflation, irrespectively of its initial value. Once the higgs has become light, its root-mean-square value h_* relaxes to equilibrium in about 85 efolds for the inflationary scale of H_*=10^4 GeV and in 20 efolds for H_*=10^10 GeV. The equilibrium value is given by h_*~0.36 lambda^{-1/4}H_*, where lambda=0.09 ... 0.0005 is the higgs self coupling at the scales H_*=10^4 ... 10^10 GeV. We show that the main decay channel of the higgs condensate after inflation is the resonant production of Standard Model gauge bosons. For a set of parameters we find that a significant part of the condensate has decayed in between 340 and 630 Hubble times after the onset of higgs oscillations, depending on H_* in a non-trivial way. The higgs perturbations correspond to isocurvature modes during inflation but they could generate significant adiabatic perturbations at a later stage for example through a modulation of the reheating stage. However, this requires that the inflaton(s) decay no later than a few hundred Hubble times after the onset of higgs oscillations.

description: Motivated by recent measurements of a relatively large θ_{13} in the Daya Bay and RENO reactor neutrino experiments, we carry out a systematic analysis of the hybrid textures of Majorana neutrino mass matrix $M_ν$, which contain one texture zero and two equal nonzero matrix elements. We show that three neutrino masses (m_1, m_2, m_3) and three leptonic CP-violating phases (δ, ρ, σ) can fully be determined from two neutrino mass-squared differences (δm^2, Δm^2) and three flavor mixing angles (θ_{12}, θ_{23}, θ_{13}). Out of sixty logically possible patterns of $M_ν$, thirty-nine are found to be compatible with current experimental data at the 3σlevel. We demonstrate that the texture zero of $M_ν$ is stable against one-loop quantum corrections, while the equality between two independent elements not. Phenomenological implications of $M_ν$ for the neutrinoless double-beta decay and leptonic CP violation are discussed, and a realization of the texture zero and equality by means of discrete flavor symmetries is illustrated.
