MCNP5 and GEANT4 comparisons for preliminary fast neutron pencil beam design at the University of Utah TRIGA system
Creators: name: Adjei, Christian Amevi
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2013

description: The main objective of this thesis is twofold. The starting objective was to develop a model for meaningful benchmarking of different versions of GEANT4 against an experimental set-up and MCNP5 pertaining to photon transport and interactions. The following objective was to develop a preliminary design of a Fast Neutron Pencil Beam (FNPB) Facility to be applicable for the University of Utah research reactor (UUTR) using MCNP5 and GEANT4. The three various GEANT4 code versions, GEANT4.9.4, GEANT4.9.3, and GEANT4.9.2, were compared to MCNP5 and the experimental measurements of gamma attenuation in air. The average gamma dose rate was measured in the laboratory experiment at various distances from a shielded cesium source using a Ludlum model 19 portable NaI detector. As it was expected, the gamma dose rate decreased with distance. All three GEANT4 code versions agreed well with both the experimental data and the MCNP5 simulation. Additionally, a simple GEANT4 and MCNP5 model was developed to compare the code agreements for neutron interactions in various materials. Preliminary FNPB design was developed using MCNP5; a semi-accurate model was developed using GEANT4 (because GEANT4 does not support the reactor physics modeling, the reactor was represented as a surface neutron source, thus a semi-accurate model). Based on the MCNP5 model, the fast neutron flux in a sample holder of the FNPB is obtained to be 6.52x107 n/cm2s, which is one order of magnitude lower than gigantic fast neutron pencil beam facilities existing elsewhere. The MCNP5 model-based neutron spectrum indicates that the maximum expected fast neutron flux is at a neutron energy of ~1 MeV. In addition, the MCNP5 model provided information on gamma flux to be expected in this preliminary FNPB design; specifically, in the sample holder, the gamma flux is to be expected to be around 108 i/cm2s, delivering a gamma dose of 4.54x103 rem/hr. This value is one to two orders of magnitudes below the gamma exposure as exists in the currently used fast neutron irradiation facility at the UUTR. The GEANT4.9.4 semi-accurate model of the FNPB design provided higher values for neutron and gamma fluxes, indicating the importance of transfering the data from MCNP5 rather than using the GEANT4 default neutron spectra.

description: In a previous paper by the author was proposed a new metric for the gravitational field of a thin rotating disk physically different from the Kerr metric. The metric is admissible for any angular momentum of the disk. As demonstrated in the present paper the parameter determining the angular momentum of the Milky Way greatly exceeds its gravitational radius so that the Kerr metric physically admissible only if the angular momentum is sufficiently small is completely inapplicable to the Milky Way. It is shown on the basis of the new metric that the rotation of the Milky Way plays a decisive role in the motion of satellites in its gravitational field. The effects due to the rotation can imitate the presence of hypothetical dark matter.

description: Strain-engineering of materials encompasses significant elastic deformation and leads to breaking of the lattice symmetry and as a consequence to the emergence of optical anisotropy. However, the capability to image and map local strain fields by optical microscopy is currently limited to specific materials. Here, we introduce a broadband scanning reflectance anisotropy microscope as a phase-sensitive multi-material optical platform for strain mapping. The microscope produces hyperspectral images with diffraction-limited sub-micron resolution of the near-normal incidence ellipsometric response of the sample, which is related to elastic strain by means of the elasto-optic effect. We demonstrate cutting edge strain sensitivity using a variety of materials, such as metasurfaces, semiconductors and metals. The versatility of the method to study the breaking of the lattice symmetry by simple reflectance measurements opens up the possibility to carry out non-destructive mechanical characterization of multi-material components, such as wearable electronics and optical semiconductor devices.

description: One essential feature of an autonomous train is minimizing collision risks with third-party objects. To estimate the risk, the control system must identify topological information of all the rail routes ahead on which the train can possibly move, especially within merging or diverging rails. This way, the train can figure out the status of potential obstacles with respect to its route and hence, make a timely decision. Numerous studies have successfully extracted all rail tracks as a whole within forward-looking images without considering element instances. Still, some image-based methods have employed hard-coded prior knowledge of railway geometry on 3D data to associate left-right rails and generate rail route instances. However, we propose a rail path extraction pipeline in which left-right rail pixels of each rail route instance are extracted and associated through a fully convolutional encoder-decoder architecture called TPE-Net. Two different regression branches for TPE-Net are proposed to regress the locations of center points of each rail route, along with their corresponding left-right pixels. Extracted rail pixels are then spatially clustered to generate topological information of all the possible train routes (ego-paths), discarding non-ego-path ones. Experimental results on a challenging, publicly released benchmark show true-positive-pixel level average precision and recall of 0.9207 and 0.8721, respectively, at about 12 frames per second. Even though our evaluation results are not higher than the SOTA, the proposed regression pipeline performs remarkably in extracting the correspondences by looking once at the image. It generates strong rail route hypotheses without reliance on camera parameters, 3D data, and geometrical constraints.

description: This dissertation explores the impact of an authoritarian state on the university as represented by the Faculty of Economics and Political Science at Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt. I examine how academics negotiate their tasks of acquiring, disseminating and producing knowledge within the confines of an authoritarian state. The 2003 Arab Human Development Report argues that a knowledge society, consisting of the acquisition, dissemination, and production of knowledge is needed to overcome developmental lags within the Arab Middle East. My dissertation explores that argument within the microcosm of the knowledge society as represented by the Faculty of Economics and Political Science. Most critically I ask the question of how the university was depoliticized by an authoritarian state. Hence, my work begins to uncover the irrelevance to the Egyptian Revolution and ouster of President Husni Mubarak in 2011.  My dissertation reveals how an authoritarian state depoliticizes a university and improves our understanding of the utility of elements of the social capital concept. Known metaphorically as bridges and holes, the linkages or mechanisms (bridges) that span networks that are not affiliated with one another (holes) can inhibit or support change as well as inhibit or promote the introduction of new knowledge and resources. It is this last conceptual finding that holds most promise for future research in diverse settings.

Characterization of rare earth particles from the Florida phosphate industry through dual energy radiography and x-ray tomography

description: Mineral identification is an extremely important topic in metallurgical engineering, and rare earth particle identification grows increasingly important as national and global demand increases. Due to the small concentration wherein they are usually found in the Florida phosphate industry, particle identification methods often overlook, miscount, and do not adequately describe the rare earth particles in sample streams. In this regard, dual energy radiography followed by X-ray tomography is used to quantitatively identify rare earth particles and to establish their characteristics in selected samples. It is hypothesized that by combining these two methods, better data can be gathered to make an accurate accounting of the parts per million concentration of the minerals and that time can be saved by employing both processes instead of only using X-ray tomography, which would be one procedure for mineral identification and liberation analysis. To verify that the proposed methodology does as claimed, it was used to identify rare earth particles in three sample streams provided by the Florida Industrial and Phosphate Research Institute (FIPR). Each sample was separated by size, prepared, then scanned by dual energy radiography, thresholded, and prepared and scanned by high resolution X-ray microtomography. The results were then analyzed. Based on the final digital 3D reconstruction of the samples, it was concluded that this methodology was indeed faster and more time efficient than only X-ray tomography. It was also concluded that some additional data could be gathered from the preconcentration of the X-ray tomography samples caused by preliminary dual energy radiography, but that data were dependent on the sample stream and not guaranteed for every sample scanned using this method. Therefore, it was finally concluded that the proposed methodology was time beneficial and that the potential additional data that could be gathered made this process worth exploring for future projects, especially if they involved identification of trace particles concentrated on a small, parts per million scale.

description: A key question in collective memory research is how such memories are created and shared over time. This study consisted of a qualitative content analysis of documentary artifacts to determine whether there is a collective memory of the 1953 Short Creek Raid and, if so, how it developed and contributes to an ongoing sense of identity for some Fundamentalist Mormons. Documents were divided into three separate  time periods. These documents included media interviews, personal essays, a commemorative calendar, speeches, religious sermons, a school curriculum and a bestselling book written by a former polygamous wife. Each document was analyzed using a protocol sheet with an initial set of categories, such as "divine intervention," "heroes" and "us versus them." The study found the 1953 Short Creek Raid is the basis for a collective memory. That memory was solidified during a "myth-making" period and is reinforced through family, community, school and church activities to perpetuate a  common group identity among some present-day Fundamentalist Mormons still living in or with ties to the Short Creek area. This analysis has policy implications for public officials, social workers and others attempting to understand the present mindset, attitudes, actions and beliefs of many Fundamentalists Mormons, particularly those belonging to The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This analysis also provides a context for considering implications of internal and external threats to that collective memory.

description: Essential amino acids (EAA) are a potent stimulator of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling and muscle protein synthesis. However, the molecular regulators upstream of mTORC1 signaling that are stimulated by EAA are not well described in human skeletal muscle. Leucyl tRNA synthetase (LRS) and RagB have recently been shown to be important in mTORC1 activation, but their role in human skeletal muscle following EAA ingestion is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine changes in protein expression and the association of the LRS- and RagB RagBmTORC1 complexes following acute EAA ingestion in healthy human skeletal muscle. Muscle biopsies (vastus lateralis) were obtained from 13 young adults (7M, 6F, 22.9 ± 0.9y, 21.7 ± 0.9 BMI) in the fasted state (basal) and 1 and 3 h after EAA (13g; 2.4g Leu) ingestion. Co-immunoprecipitation and western blotting were used to determine LRSand RagB-mTORC1 protein complexes and LRS and RagB protein expression, respectively. We report that EAA ingestion did not alter LRS- or RagB-mTORC1 association or LRS protein expression (P > 0.05) contrary to the robust increase in mTOR phosphorylation (P < 0.05). However, we found that EAA increased RagB protein abundance following EAA ingestion (P < 0.05). We conclude that LRS- and RagBmTORC1 complexes are not altered 1 and 3 h following EAA ingestion in healthy young adult skeletal muscle. However, the transient increase in RagB protein expression afterEAA ingestion may be an important mechanism to promote protein anabolism.

description: N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are vital components of the mammalian nervous system that intimately contribute to excitatory neurotransmission. Learning, memory formation, synaptic plasticity, and many neurodegenerative diseases are linked with NMDARs. In order to study these processes, there is need for scientific tools that can be used to examine NMDARs. Cone snail venom is a mixture of neurotoxins with specific targets in the nervous system. Conantokins are a family of conotoxin that inhibit NMDARs and can select for different NMDAR subtypes. Therefore, understanding mechanisms of conantokin selectivity and using selective conantokins as tools to identify NMDAR subtypes in the brain are important advancements for neurobiology. In this dissertation, Chapters 2 and 3 describe structural studies of conantokin Bk-B (conBk-B) and of conantokin R/-B (conR/-B). These conantokins exhibited novel NMDAR subtype selectivities and were consequently of interest for structural characterization. The ultra-short conBk-B was found to adopt helical conformation similar to that observed in other conantokins. ConR/-B was found to be a kinked helix that is unique among structurally characterized conantokins. Comparison of conantokin structures, paired with mutational analysis, highlighted that residues 5, 6, 8, and 10 determine subtype selectivity in conantokins. Chapter 4 describes biochemical studies of NMDAR ligand-binding domain (LBD) proteins for the NR1-2b, NR2A, NR2B, and NR2C NMDAR subtypes. Limited proteolysis assays showed agonist binding, indicating LBD proteins were correctly folded. Additional experiments found no strong interactions between LBD proteins and conantokins. The results suggest that additional protein domains, heteromeric NMDARs, or neuronal membranes may be required for conantokin-NMDAR binding. In Chapter 5, conantokins are used to define the NMDAR subtypes in neurons from mouse cerebellum. Agonist challenge assays revealed diversity in cerebellar neurons, and conantokin R/-B was used to show NR2B NMDAR subtypes in cerebellar neurons of young mice. In older mice, a population of neurons with non-NR2B NMDARs was discovered. This dissertation demonstrates the first use of conantokins to define NMDAR subtypes in live neurons, provides a foundation for understanding neuronal diversity in the brain, and establishes NMDAR subtype composition in individual neurons of the developing cerebellum.

Specifically, it has been hypothesized that formal activity participation can both directly and indirectly influence executive function development and related developmental outcomes. In the current study, we examined associations between parents' reports of their children's activity participation, children's feelings of social belonging and support, executive function skills, and depressive symptoms. The children were recruited through partnerships with two elementary schools (N = 151; 8-12 years of age). The statistical analyses included correlations, hierarchical regression, and a series of mediation path analyses. The final models statistically demonstrated a significant relationship between children's participation in activities and depressive symptoms through processes of social belonging and support and executive function. Children who participated in a greater number of activities reported a greater sense of social belonging and support from peers, demonstrated better executive function skills (working memory only), and reported fewer depressive symptoms. Children from families who reported greater annual incomes reportedly participated in a greater number and wider breadth of activities. Our findings add to the existing literature by showing that common, everyday childhood activities, not just those specifically designed to enhance development, are beneficially related to positive aspects of development.

description: This work examines trace element cycling in four contexts: 1) diel variability in trace element concentrations in Great Salt Lake wetlands; 2) spatial variability in surface water, pore water, and sediment chemistry of Great Salt Lake wetlands; 3) dust-mediated loading of trace elements to Wasatch snowpack; and 4) trace element concentrations and loads in mining-impacted streams of southern Ecuador. Each project is briefly summarized below. 1) In the freshwater wetlands of Great Salt Lake, we observed diel trends in concentrations of anion-forming elements (selenium, antimony, vanadium, and uranium) that were positively correlated with pH, whereas the cation manganese displayed an opposite trend. The opposing trends in aqueous concentrations of anions and cations were attributed to pH-driven changes in sorption to bottom sediment. Surface complexation modeling was used to provide a mechanistic basis for the observed trends. 2) We examined surface water, pore water, and sediment chemistry of Great Salt Lake wetlands. The wetlands contained variable amounts of trace elements, nutrients, and salinity, reflecting different sources of groundwater and surface water runoff. Plant health metrics showed negative correlations with metal concentrations in sediment, indicating that sediment chemistry plays a very important role in wetland plant health. 3) We sampled snowpack across the Wasatch Mountains prior to snow melt and found that spring dust events are the primary vector of trace and major element loading to Wasatch Mountain snowpack. The implication of this work is that increasing dust emission due to climate change, changes in land use, or other factors may have a negative effect on snowmelt runoff chemistry, which is a major water source to metropolitan areas downstream. 4) We measured trace element concentrations and loads in streams that are affected by different modes of artisanal mining. This study has provided the basis for future work in southern Ecuador that will deal with more specific problems such as groundwater contamination from leaky tailings ponds, and the effects of toxic metals on humans and biota.
Theories of value and economic crises: revisiting Maurice Dobb
Creators: name: Abouzelof, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Financial crises

description: This paper reviews two areas of Maurice Dobb's contributions to the history of  economic thought, specifically his essay The Requirements of a Theory of Value and  various writings on the classical perspectives of economic crises. The first section  provides a biography of Dobb, the second examines the requirements Dobb felt a theory  of value must fulfill to be considered adequate, followed by a historical recount of the  origins of the two main competing theories, the Labor Theory and the Utility Theory, as  well as a discussion of how each theory succeeded or failed to meet these requirements.  The third section discusses how economic crises were viewed by political economists  from Adam Smith to Karl Marx, with special attention paid to the rate of profit,  proportionality, and specific characteristics of capitalism that make it an ideology prone  to periodic disruptions.

Volume visualization

description: Visualization and exploration of volumetric datasets has been an active area of research for over two decades. During this period, volumetric datasets used by domain users have evolved from univariate to multivariate. The volume datasets are typically explored and classified via transfer function design and visualized using direct volume rendering. To improve classification results and to enable the exploration of multivariate volume datasets, multivariate transfer functions emerge. In this dissertation, we describe our research on multivariate transfer function design. To improve the classification of univariate volumes, various one-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) transfer function spaces have been proposed; however, these methods work on only some datasets. We propose a novel transfer function method that provides better classifications by combining different transfer function spaces. Methods have been proposed for exploring multivariate simulations; however, these approaches are not suitable for complex real-world datasets and may be unintuitive for domain users. To this end, we propose a method based on user-selected samples in the spatial domain to make complex multivariate volume data visualization more accessible for domain users. However, this method still requires users to fine-tune transfer functions in parameter space transfer function widgets, which may not be familiar to them. We therefore propose GuideME, a novel slice-guided semiautomatic multivariate volume exploration approach. GuideME provides the user, an easy-to-use, slice-based user interface that suggests the feature boundaries and allows the user to select features via click and drag, and then an optimal transfer function is automatically generated by optimizing a response function. Throughout the exploration process, the user does not need to interact with the parameter views at all. Finally, real-world multivariate volume datasets are also usually of large size, which is larger than the GPU memory and even the main memory of standard work stations. We propose a ray-guided out-of-core, interactive volume rendering and efficient query method to support large and complex multivariate volumes on standard work stations.

description: This is a short, accessible article that provides a synopsis of findings from the research titled “Tool Development to Evaluate the Performance of Intermodal Connectivity (EPIC)” in collaboration with UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies. This research has examined various factors that can substantially influence transit users’ perception of service quality at bus stops and trains stations, and also what factors transit managers think important to improve customers' satisfaction. Recently, the project has developed a tool for transit agencies to identify service quality improvements at transit facilities, which has been presented in the American Planning Association (APA) National Planning Conference in Los Angeles, April, 2012. Publications related to this research are listed under " FURTHER READING" on page 15.
