description: We have developed a technique to fabricate sub-micron, 0.6 um x 0.6 um Al-AlOx-Nb tunnel junctions using a standard e-beam resist, angle evaporation and double oxidation of the tunneling barrier, resulting in high quality niobium, as determined by the the high measured values of the critical temperature TC 7.5 K and the gap 1.3 meV. The devices show great promise for local nanoscale thermometry in the temperature range 1 - 7.5 K. Electrical characterization of the junctions was performed at sub-Kelvin temperatures both with and without an external magnetic field, which was used to suppress superconductivity in Al and thus bring the junction into a normal-metal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) configuration. We observed excess sub-gap current, which could not be explained by the standard tunneling theory. Evidence points towards materials science issues of the barrier or Nb/AlOx interface as the culprit.
Slum Sisterhood, philanthropy and Sapphic dialogues in Margaret Harkness's In Darkest London (1890)
Creators: name: Wenman-James, Garth
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: My paper will argue that philanthropic sisterly communities are brought to the forefront in Margaret Harkness’s novel In Darkest London (1891). In ‘Women as Civil Servants’ (1881), Margaret Harkness argues that in order to achieve equality with men in the ‘sphere of action’ women must have a ‘bond of mutual helpfulness, binding together all women irrespective of class to meet the obstacles incident to changing social conditions of life’ (p. 381). As Harkness emphasises, only by crossing class barriers and assisting their ‘struggling sisters’ can women ‘command the same market price as that of the other sex’ (p. 875). Harkness’s call for female solidarity is reflected in her own work within London slums; along with Eleanor Marx and Beatrice Potter, Harkness worked in the philanthropic East London Dwelling Company in attempt to provide the poor with cheap accommodation (Ross, 2007, p. 90). As Jill Rappoport (2012) describes, groups of women like Marx, Potter and Harkness frequently self-identified as ‘slum sisters’, a term that recognises their active work within spaces of poverty as well as their solidarity as a group of New Women actively seeking to achieve social change (p. 136). I will engage with Ruth Vanita’s (1996) definition of the Sapphic mode to uncover how the ‘passionate dialogue’ that occurs between Harkness’s philanthropic women is ‘a paradigm for lyric intensity and sublimity’ (p. 2). I will consider the way in which Harkness shows the ability of this powerful dialogue to remove barriers of religion, social class and politics. Harkness’s novel anticipates Mrs. Roy Devereux’s (1896) utopic description of the future of slum sister communities; Devereux describes how through such communities women will ‘stand […] shoulder to shoulder with her sister in public and in private life [and] will stand at the very gates of her kingdom, abreast of that “brave vibration, each way free”’ (p. 61). My paper examines how In Darkest London represents the complex intersection of religion, socialism, the New Woman and sororal philanthropy at the fin-de-siècle.

Two charmoniumlike charged axial resonances near 3885 MeV

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is argued that the charged $Z^+_c(3885)$ resonance, treated as a `molecular' state of charmed $D$ and $D^*$ mesons, is likely to consist of two peaks unequally coupled to the $D^{*+} \bar D^0$ and $D^+ \bar D^{*0}$ channels. The peaks should be split in mass by at least approximately 1.5 MeV. This behavior arises from an enhancement of the effect of isospin violation in the masses of the $D$ and $D^*$ mesons due to apparent suppression of forces between the mesons depending on the spins of the heavy as well as of the light quarks. The suggested double-peak structure can be studied either by direct shape measurement in the channels with heavy mesons, or by isospin-violating transitions from $Z_c^\pm(3885)$ to the states of charmonium plus a light meson.

Contribution of Interface Acoustic Phonons and Remote-polar Phonons in the Hole Mobility of Diamond
Creators: name: Bonomo, Giorgio
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The present work is focused on the formulation of the relaxation time due to the hole--surface-acoustic phonon and hole--remote-polar phonon scattering mechanisms in mesoscopic diamond-based devices. First of all, an introduction on the promising role of diamond in the realization of high power and high frequency devices is given, together with a focus on the current difficulties and attempts in the understanding and fabrication of devices based on this material. An extensive study on the existence of surface waves in such structures follows, in order to understand which surface-acoustic modes are possible; this is followed by the quantization of these waves in order to take into account the reduced number of phonons in a nanoscale structure, the formulation of the interaction Hamiltonian, and the final calculation of the relaxation time through Fermi Golden Rule. Then, the insertion of an upper layer constituted by a wide-band gap material such as AlN or BN on top of diamond is analyzed. This procedure, performed for the realization of various types of FETs, causes a potential due to the interface-optical phonon modes in the upper layer, usually constituted by a polar material, that decays into diamond, resulting in the existence of a remote polar phonon potential in the material. This leads to an interaction Hamiltonian in diamond due to its decaying phonon potential, which facilitates the formulation of an expression for the relaxation time due to this phenomenon. The numerical results related to the Scattering Rate and mobility of this last contribution are finally inserted.
Angular momentum, accretion and radial flows in chemodynamical models of spiral galaxies

description: Gas accretion and radial flows are key ingredients of the chemical evolution of spiral galaxies. They are also tightly linked to each other (accretion drives radial flows, due to angular momentum conservation) and should therefore be modelled simultaneously. We summarise an algorithm that can be used to consistently compute accretion profiles, radial flows and abundance gradients under quite general conditions and we describe illustrative applications to the Milky Way. We find that gas-phase abundance gradients strongly depend on the angular momentum of the accreting material and, in the outer regions, they are significantly affected by the choice of boundary conditions.

description: We provide a novel, unifying physical interpretation on the origin, the average shape, the scatter, and the cosmic evolution for the main sequences of starforming galaxies and active galactic nuclei at high redshift z $\gtrsim$ 1. We achieve this goal in a model-independent way by exploiting: (i) the redshift-dependent SFR functions based on the latest UV/far-IR data from HST/Herschel, and re- lated statistics of strong gravitationally lensed sources; (ii) deterministic evolutionary tracks for the history of star formation and black hole accretion, gauged on a wealth of multiwavelength observations including the observed Eddington ratio distribution. We further validate these ingredients by showing their consistency with the observed galaxy stellar mass functions and AGN bolometric luminosity functions at different redshifts via the continuity equation approach. Our analysis of the main sequence for high-redshift galaxies and AGNs highlights that the present data are consistently interpreted in terms of an in situ coevolution scenario for star formation and black hole accretion, envisaging these as local, time coordinated processes.

Pumpless Open-Surface Microfluidic Device for Protein Detection

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The present work focuses on the development of an open-air, passive microfluidic device to be employed for the detection of antigens, with the ultimate goal of performing the analysis and quantification of proteins contained within human skin oil. In the prototyping step, bovine serum albumin proteins (BSA) are detected by implementing a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay. The design of the device allows pumpless transport of a solution, made of BSA and DI water, and the coverage of a detection zone. The latter zone is silane-functionalized, so that proteins can be immobilized on its surface. Different wettability-patterned designs are considered and tested. Ultimately, the optimal design is composed of an axial, silane-functionalized track located between two superhydrophilic transport tracks, where the three tracks are patterned on a superhydrophobic background. The geometry (\textit{e.g.} wedge angles) of the detection and transport tracks is optimized in order to obtain the largest covered detection area, with the lowest possible sample volume. Subsequently, BCA detection is performed on the substrate characterized by the aforementioned design and a standard curve is obtained by analyzing samples with a known concentration of proteins.

Chiral Thermomechanical Metamaterials with Continuous Negative Thermal Expansion

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Though the negative thermal expansion materials are important and appealing in science and engineering application, the natural materials are very less effective and manifest poor performance than the metamaterials. Here, using chiral design and normal material, metamaterial structure has been achieved. From the derivation, it has been proven that the structure contracted or expanded with an acceleration. It has also been observed that, the contraction or expansion rate depends upon the geometry of the structure (node to length ratio, i.e., size ratio). For the design scenario, node is the metallic structure helps to attach different number of strips. It has also been observed that, the state parameters and the control parameters (i.e. Temperature) share simple relationship between them. The rotation angle is a function of (property of the bimetallic strip), L (length of the strip) and T (temperature). Also, the maximum working temperature depends on the design parameters. So, it would be a metamaterial system. To dimensionalize, all the system equations have been scaled with L. So, length alone will not be a parameter of design, node to length ratio size ratio will be.

description: In this talk, we review the basis of the loop-tree duality theorem, which allows to rewrite loop scattering amplitudes in terms of tree-level like objects. Since the loop measure is converted into a phase-space one, both virtual and real contributions are expressible using the same integration variables. A physically motivated momentum mapping allows to generate the real emission process starting from the Born kinematics and the loop momenta. The integrand-level combination leads to regular functions, which can be integrated without using dimensional regularization (DREG) and correctly reproduce the finite higher-order corrections to physical observables. We explain the implementation of this novel approach to compute some benchmark physical processes, and we show how to deal with both infrared and ultraviolet divergences in four space-time dimensions.

description: In this paper we compare the brushing number of a graph with the zero-forcing number of its line graph. We prove that the zero-forcing number of the line graph is an upper bound for the brushing number by constructing a brush configuration based on a zero-forcing set for the line graph. Using a similar construction, we also prove the conjecture that the zero-forcing number of a graph is no more than the zero-forcing number of its line graph; moreover we prove that the brushing number of a graph is no more than the brushing number of its line graph. All three bounds are shown to be tight.

Creators: name: Basali, Doris
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Objective: Heat treatment of nickel-titanium rotary file instruments has been demonstrated to be more efficient for conventional root canal therapy. This in vitro study compared the torsional force to fracture (TFF) and angle of rotation to fracture (ARF) of XP-3D Shaper conforming Nickel Titanium (NiTi) rotary files in as-received condition and after 1 and 3 simulated clinical uses. Methods: Simulated root canals (30-degree curvature) in clear resin blocks were used. 25 mm length XP-3D Shaper files were tested (n=10 per test group). TFF and ARF were recorded with torsiometer (Sabri Dental Enterprises). As per ISO-3630-1, TFF was obtained by measuring peak torque in gram-centimeters (g-cm), and ARF in degrees of rotation until instrument separation. The data was analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s Post-Hoc tests (p<0.05). SEM analysis of the separated portion was also performed. Results: The XP-3D Shaper demonstrated no significant difference (p>0.05) in TFF between as-received and 1 use, as-received and 3 uses, and 1 use and 3 uses. There was a significant (p<0.002) decrease in ARF between the XP-3D Shaper as received and 1 use, as-received and 3 uses, and between 1 use and 3 uses. Conclusions: There is no significant difference (p>0.05) in TFF between the XP-3D Shaper files as-received, after 1 use, and after 3 uses. There is a significant difference (p<0.002) in ARF between the XP-3D Shaper files as-received, after 1 use, and after 3 uses. The possible explanation for these results could be due to the non-linear file design in combination with the heat treatment of the nickel-titanium.
Minimum Milestone Achievement Expectations for Graduating Family Medicine Residents
Creators: name: Graham, Timothy
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background and Objectives: The arrival of the Next Accreditation System and the ACGME Milestones heralded a new era in graduate medical education and resident assessment. The ACGME indicates that achievement of “Level 4” on the milestone subcompetencies is a graduation target and that ultimate graduation decisions rest with Program Directors. This study examined the utilization of the milestones in graduation decisions by Family Medicine residency programs. Methods: Family Medicine residency programs nationally were anonymously surveyed to determine the practices within their own programs as well as their understanding of what achievement of a “Level 4” meant. Surveys were sent to 555 unique Family Medicine programs via Survey Monkey. Results: The majority of Family Medicine residency programs surveyed did not require achievement of Level 4 in all subcompetencies in order to graduate, however there were some programs that did require this level of achievement. There were some programs (12%) that required achievement of “Level 4” in some of the subcompetencies. The most commonly identified subcompetencies in which this level of achievement was required resided under the Patient Care, Medical Knowledge and Professionalism competency umbrellas. Definition of “Level 4” varied between programs, with approximately half endorsing the ACGME-provided “graduation target” definition, while the remainder favored definitions ranging from “graduation requirement” to “competent.” Conclusions: Family Medicine residency programs utilize the ACGME milestones in different ways when making graduation decisions. There is varied opinion of how “Level 4” should be defined as well as varied milestone achievement requirements.
The Role of Ventral Tegmental Area Estrogen Receptors in Neuronal Responses to Dopamine and Ethanol
Creators: name: Vandegrift, Bertha J
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Understanding the underlying biology of gender differences in drug addiction is important for developing effective new therapies to treat addiction. The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a midbrain region enriched in dopamine (DA) neurons that regulate the rewarding and reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse. 17β-estradiol (E2) has profound effects on the midbrain DA system and enhances alcohol (ethanol) drinking in female rodents. Increased drinking by females may be due to E2 altering the physiology of VTA DA neurons. I hypothesized that E2 regulates the response of VTA DA neurons to ethanol and DA in female mice through activation of estrogen receptors. The aims of my project were therefore to (1) characterize the effect of E2 on the responses of VTA DA neurons to ethanol and DA, (2) determine which estrogen receptors mediate E2 effects on the sensitivity of VTA DA neurons to ethanol and DA, and (3) begin to investigate possible downstream signaling pathways activated by E2 that would alter the sensitivity of VTA DA neurons to ethanol and DA. I found that both excitation by ethanol and inhibition by DA of VTA DA neurons is enhanced when levels of E2 are elevated. E2-mediated enhancement of ethanol excitation occurs via activation of ER and a metabotropic glutamate receptor, whereas E2-mediated enhancement of DA inhibition requires both ER and ER. E2 also promotes the desensitization of the dopamine D2 receptor in the VTA. These changes in VTA function when E2 levels are high may promote binge drinking and increase drug reward in females.

description: We discuss quantum field theories with global $SU(N)$ and $O(N)$ symmetries for which the temporal direction is compactified on a circle of size $L$ with periodicity of fields up to a global symmetry transformation, i.e. twisted boundary conditions. Such boundary conditions correspond to an insertion of the global symmetry operator in the partition function. We argue that for a special choice of twists most of the excited states get projected out, leaving only either mesonic states or states whose energy scales with $N$. When $N\rightarrow \infty$ all excitations become suppressed at any compact radius and the twisted partition function gets a contribution from the ground-state only, rendering observables independent of the radius of compactification, i.e. volume independent. We explicitly prove that this is indeed the case for the $CP(N-1)$ and $O(N)$ non-linear sigma models in any number of dimensions. We further focus on the two-dimensional $CP(N-1)$ case which is asymptotically free, and demonstrate, unlike its thermal counterpart, the twisted theory has commuting $N\rightarrow\infty,L\rightarrow\infty$ limits and does not undergo a second-order phase transition at "zero-temperature" discussed by Affleck long ago. At finite $L$ the theory is described by an effective, zero-temperature quantum mechanics with smoothly varying parameters depending on $L$, eliminating the possibility of a phase transition at any $L$, which was conjectured by Ünsal and Dunne. As $L$ is decreased at fixed and finite $N$ the relevant objects dictating the $θ$ dependence are quantum kink-instantons, avatars of the small $L$ regime fractional instantons. These considerations, for the first time establishes the idea of adiabatic continuity advocated by Ünsal et. al.

description: Additive manufacturing, also referred to as three-dimensional printing, has been implemented in a great number of industries, owning to its unique layer-by-layer production method. In addition to the growing public interest in developing additive manufacturing into one of the mainstream manufacturing approaches, increasing concerns related to environmental sustainability have been presented in multiple aspects such as energy consumption, emissions, material wastes, etc. To date, the majority of literature on environmental sustainability of additive manufacturing typically follow empirical methods and lack theoretical estimation and prediction capabilities. Therefore, there is an urgent need for analytical modeling on the environmental sustainability of additive manufacturing. In reality, reducing the adverse environmental impacts from additive manufacturing processes usually implies increasing production cost, as well as the life cycle cost. Subsequently, a joint study focusing on both environmental sustainability and cost evaluation will benefit the further development of sustainable additive manufacturing by theoretically estimating the environmental and economic performance of additive manufacturing process.

description: This work presents an experimental design for studying low-velocity collisions into granular surfaces in low-gravity. In the experiment apparatus, reduced-gravity is simulated by releasing a free-falling projectile into a surface container with a downward acceleration less than that of Earth's gravity. The acceleration of the surface is controlled through the use of an Atwood machine, or a system of pulleys and counterweights. The starting height of the surface container and the initial separation distance between the projectile and surface are variable and chosen to accommodate collision velocities up to 20 cm/s and effective accelerations of ~0.1 - 1.0 m/s^2. Accelerometers, placed on the surface container and inside the projectile, provide acceleration data, while high-speed cameras capture the collision and act as secondary data sources. The experiment is built into an existing 5.5 m drop-tower frame and requires the custom design of all components, including the projectile, surface sample container, release mechanism and deceleration system. Data from calibration tests verify the efficiency of the experiment's deceleration system and provide a quantitative understanding of the performance of the Atwood system.

description: With foreign language learning on a decline in the U.S., there is a need for research into the motivations of foreign language learning in order for individuals to have access to the benefits of language learning. Operating under Zoltan Dörnyei’s 2005 L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) framework, an investigation of the relationships between prior contact to the L2, future intentions with the L2, perceptions of English as the global lingua franca and utility of modern language technology was performed to develop a motivation questionnaire to be administered to undergraduate students at an American university. The questionnaire can be used to collect motivational data with the intention of developing more efficient second language programs and courses.
Switching ferromagnetic spins by an ultrafast laser pulse: Emergence of giant optical spin-orbit torque

description: Faster magnetic recording technology is indispensable to massive data storage and big data sciences. {All-optical spin switching offers a possible solution}, but at present it is limited to a handful of expensive and complex rare-earth ferrimagnets. The spin switching in more abundant ferromagnets may significantly expand the scope of all-optical spin switching. Here by studying 40,000 ferromagnetic spins, we show that it is the optical spin-orbit torque that determines the course of spin switching in both ferromagnets and ferrimagnets. Spin switching occurs only if the effective spin angular momentum of each constituent in an alloy exceeds a critical value. Because of the strong exchange coupling, the spin switches much faster in ferromagnets than weakly-coupled ferrimagnets. This establishes a paradigm for all-optical spin switching. The resultant magnetic field (65 T) is so big that it will significantly reduce high current in spintronics, thus representing the beginning of photospintronics.

description: We report on the elastocapillary deformation of flexible microfibers in contact with liquid droplets. A fiber is observed to bend more as the size of the contacting droplet is increased. At a critical droplet size, proportional to the bending elastocapillary length, the fiber is seen to spontaneously wind around the droplet. To rationalize these observations, we invoke a minimal model based on elastic beam theory, and find agreement with experimental data. Further energetic considerations provide a consistent prediction for the winding criterion.

Modeling Travel Behavior with the Advent of Electric and Automated Vehicle Technologies
Creators: name: Nazari, Fatemeh
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Motivated by the transformative roles of shared, autonomous, and electric vehicles in future urban mobility and human life, this dissertation investigates humans’ adoption behavior of these technologies and the determinants thereof. Considering privately-owned autonomous vehicle (AV) and multiple configurations of shared-use AVs, the first part of this dissertation aims at jointly modeling the public interest in AVs based on trip purpose with explicit treatment of the possible correlations across the AV types. In doing so, this research explains decision-making process of humans by observable socio-demographic, built-environment, and travel pattern factors, as well as unobservable (latent) subjective attitudes toward technology and lifestyle preferences. Turning focus to the potentially significant impact of consumers’ safety concern about the AV technology on AV adoption, the first part of this research also presents a methodological contribution to the travel behavior literature by exploring the causality between the travelers’ safety concern and their AV adoption behavior. The second part of this research makes an attempt to more realistically model public adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which is the most recent and publicly available development in vehicle fuel technology. By conducting a first-of-its-kind retrospective vehicle survey at national-level, the proposed model investigates public EV adoption considering the dynamics of decisions over the past decade as well as the latent subjective attitudes, perceptions, and lifestyle preferences.
The Effect Of Smoke-Free Air Laws On Various Short And Long Run Mortality Outcomes

description: This dissertation emphasizes the importance of implementing comprehensive smoke-free air laws (SFAs) that aim to protect 100% of the U.S. population. I define a comprehensive smoke-free air law as a law that specifically bans smoking in restaurants, bars, private and public workplaces. A ban that prohibits smoking in restaurants and not bars is not considered comprehensive; in the same manner, a ban that provides separately ventilated areas is also not considered comprehensive. Previous studies have shown that comprehensive smoke-free air laws have had a significant effect on reducing mortality due to acute myocardial infarction and strokes. This study confirms these earlier findings and shows that comprehensive SFAs has decreased mortality rates due to chronic lower respiratory disease, lung cancer, and cirrhosis. This study is the first to examine mortality outcomes at the U.S. county and state level over the past 24 years. Reductions in these six underlying causes of death range from 0.9 to 13.6 percent. These results provide further evidence to support the implementation and legislation of comprehensive SFAs to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke.
