description: The MILC collaboration has been performing realistic simulations of full QCD with 2+1 flavors of improved staggered quarks. Our simulations allow for controlled continuum and chiral extrapolations. I present results for the light pseudoscalar sector: masses and decay constants, quark masses and Gasser-Leutwyler low-energy constants. In addition I will present some results for heavy-light mesons, decay constants and semileptonic form factors, obtained in collaboration with the HPQCD and Fermilab lattice collaborations. Such calculations will help in the extraction of CKM matrix elements from experimental measurements.

Predictions of astrometric jitter for Sun-like stars. I. The model and its application to the Sun as seen from the ecliptic

description: The advent of Gaia, capable of measuring stellar wobbles caused by orbiting planets, raised an interest to the astrometric detection of exoplanets. Another source of such wobbles (often also called jitter) is stellar magnetic activity. A quantitative assessment of the stellar astrometric jitter is important for a more reliable astrometric detection and characterisation of exoplanets. We calculate the displacement of the solar photocentre due to the magnetic activity for an almost 16-year period (February 2, 1999 - August 1, 2014). We also investigate how the displacement depends on the spectral passband chosen for observations, including the wavelength range to be covered by the upcoming Small-JASMINE mission of JAXA. This is done by extending the SATIRE-S model for solar irradiance variability to calculating the displacement of the solar photocentre caused by the magnetic features on the surface of the Sun. We found that the peak to peak amplitude of the solar photocentre displacement would reach 0.5 mas if the Sun were located 10 pc away from the observer and observed in the Gaia G filter. This is by far too small to be detected by the Gaia mission. However, the Sun is a relatively inactive star so that one can expect significantly larger signals for younger, and, consequently, more active stars. The model developed in this study can be combined with the simulations of emergence and surface transport of magnetic flux which have recently became available to model the astrometric jitter over the broad range of magnetic activities.

description: This paper aims at examining faces of modern metatheatricality as an evolution and intensification of the philosophical and aesthetic paradox of romantic irony. The latter, thus, does not function as a mere methodological tool for re-approaching modern (meta)plays; on the contrary, we will try to show how the 'cracks' that romantic irony brings about into the literary field are being radicalised in the 20th century dramatic writing with the escalation of both the literary self-reflexivity and the undermining of metaphysical philosophy of the absolute
Macroscopic Quantum Electrodynamics and Density Functional Theory Approaches to Dispersion Interactions between Fullerenes

description: The processing and material properties of commercial organic semiconductors, for e.g. fullerenes is largely controlled by their precise arrangements, specially intermolecular symmetries, distances and orientations, more specifically, molecular polarisabilities. These supramolecular parameters heavily influence their electronic structure, thereby determining molecular photophysics and therefore dictating their usability as n-type semiconductors. In this article we evaluate van der Waals potentials of a fullerene dimer model system using two approaches: a) Density Functional Theory and, b) Macroscopic Quantum Electrodynamics, which is particularly suited for describing long-range van der Waals interactions. Essentially, we determine and explain the model symmetry, distance and rotational dependencies on binding energies and spectral changes. The resultant spectral tuning is compared using both methods showing correspondence within the constraints placed by the different model assumptions. We envision that the application of macroscopic methods and structure/property relationships laid forward in this article will find use in fundamental supramolecular electronics.
Memory-aware Scheduling for Energy Efficiency on Multicore Processors

Publisher: name: USENIX Association Berkeley
Year: 2008

description: Memory bandwidth is a scarce resource in multicore systems. Scheduling has a dramatic impact on the delay introduced by memory contention, but also on the effectiveness of frequency scaling at saving energy. This paper investigates the cross-effects between tasks running on a multicore system, considering memory contention and the technical constraint of chip-wide frequency and voltage settings. We make the following contributions: 1) We identify the memory characteristics of tasks and sort core-specific runqueues to allow a co-scheduling of tasks with minimal energy delay product. 2) According to the memory characteristics of the workload, we set the frequency for individual chips so that the delay is only marginal. Our evaluation with a Linux implementation running on an Intel quad-core shows that memory-aware scheduling can reduce EDP considerably.

description: We investigate early time inflationary scenarios in an Universe filled with a dilute noncommutative bosonic gas at high temperature. A noncommutative bosonic gas is a gas composed of bosonic scalar field with noncommutative field space on a commutative spacetime. Such noncommutative field theories was recently introduced as a generalization of quantum mechanics on a noncommutative spacetime. As key features of these theories are Lorentz invariance violation and CPT violation. In the present study we use a noncommutative bosonic field theory that besides the noncommutative parameter $θ$ shows up a further parameter $σ$. This parameter $σ$ controls the range of the noncommutativity and acts as a regulator for the theory. Both parameters play a key role in the modified dispersion relations of the noncommutative bosonic field, leading to possible striking consequences for phenomenology. In this work we obtain an equation of state $p=ω(σ,θ;β)ρ$ for the noncommutative bosonic gas relating pressure $p$ and energy density $ρ$, in the limit of high temperature. We analyse possible behaviours for this gas parameters $σ$, $θ$ and $β$, so that $-1\leqω

description: The speeding development of mobile communications’ technology, the ability to offer services through cellular systems and local nets demanded the creation of portable electronic telecommunication devices with unique specifications. The devices must support the telecommunication protocols of these nets and simultaneously should be able to receive and emit a signal with sufficient efficiency in a humanly structured environment, where the propagation of the electromagnetic signals is a composite phenomenon and the possibility of signal loss is essential. The antennas of the portable devices should have the ability to adapt at their environment and the ability to ensure the optimum signal transmition and reception. The aim of the present project was the composition of antennas for portable devices with small dimension and the ability to control the direction of the peak of the transmition and the reception. A series of microstrip antennas has been designed that meet the above specifications. The scan with the main lobe is realized with the appropriate design of each antenna so that they present structure and function of metamaterial structure. The antennas have the scanning ability of 90o with frequency change and gain that reaches 9 dB.

description: The pandemic threat of COVID-19 with more than 37 million cases in which about 5 percent entering critical stage characterized by cytokine storm and hyperinflammatory condition, the state more often leads to admission to intensive care unit with rapid mortality. Janus kinase enzymes of Jak-1, Jak-2, Jak-3, and Tyk2 seem to be good targets for inhibition by medications to control cytokine storm in this context. In the present work, the inhibitory properties of different analgesic drugs on these targets are studied to assess their ability for clinical application from different points of view. Our docking results indicated that naproxen, methadone, and amitriptyline considering their higher binding energy, lower energy variance, and higher hydrophobicity, seem to express more inhibitory effects on Janus kinase enzymes than thats for approved inhibitors i.e. baricitinib and ruxolitinib. Accordingly, we suggest our wide list of candidate drugs including indomethacin, etodolac, buprenorphine, rofecoxib, duloxetine, valdecoxib, naproxen, methadone, and amitriptilin for clinical assessments for their usefulness in COVID-19 treatment, especially taking into account that up to now, there is no approved cure for this disease.
Task Activity Vectors: A New Metric for Temperature-Aware Scheduling

Publisher: name: Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
Year: 2008

description: Non-uniform utilization of functional units in combination with hardware mechanisms such as clock gating leads to different power consumptions in different parts of a processor chip. This in turn leads to non-uniform temperature distributions and problematic local hotspots, depending on the characteristics of the currently running task. The operating system's scheduler, responsible for deciding which task to run at what time, can influence temperature distribution. Our work investigates what the operating system can do to alleviate the problem of hotspots. We propose task activity vectors describing which functional units a task uses to what degree. With the knowledge provided by these vectors, the scheduler can schedule tasks using different units successively, distribute tasks using a particular unit excessively over the system's processors, or mix tasks using different units on a SMT processor. We implemented several vector-based scheduling strategies for Linux. Our evaluations show that vector-based scheduling considerably reduces hotspots.

description: I review the paper of Majorana about relativistic particles with arbitrary spin written in 1932. The main motivation for this papers was the dissatisfaction about the negative energy solutions of the Dirac equation. As such, the paper became immediately obsolete due to the almost contemporaneous discovery of the positron. However, for the first time, the unitary representations of the Lorentz group were introduced. Majorana considered two particular representations (named, after him, Majorana representations) which enjoy many interesting properties. A discussion about the reasons for its revival in the 60's is presented.

description: The decay $τ\to πππν$ is analysed using different methods to account for the resonance structure, which is usually ascribed to the a1. One scenario is based on the recently developed techniques to generate axial-vector resonances dynamically, whereas in a second calculation the a1 is introduced as an explicit resonance. We investigate the influence of different assumptions on the result. In the molecule scenario the spectral function is described surprisingly well by adjusting only one free parameter. This result can be systematically improved by adding higher order corrections to the iterated Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction. Treating the a1 as an explicit resonance on the other hand leads to peculiar properties.

description: We analyse the radiative decay eta -> pi^+ pi^- pi^0 gamma in the low--energy expansion of the Standard Model. We employ the notion of �??generalized bremsstrahlung�? to take full advantage of the theoretical and experimental information on the corresponding non-radiative  eta -> 3 pi decay. The direct emission amplitude of O(p^4) is due to one-loop diagrams with intermediate pions (isospin violating) and kaons (isospin conserving). Vector meson contributions appearing at O(p^6) are also evaluated.

description: Thermodynamic properties of Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe adsorbed on an Al-Ni-Co quasicrystalline surface (QC) are studied with Grand Canonical Monte Carlo by employing Lennard-Jones interactions with parameter values derived from experiments and traditional combining rules. In all the gas/QC systems, a layer-by-layer film growth is observed at low temperature. The monolayers have regular epitaxial fivefold arrangements which evolve toward sixfold close-packed structures as the pressure is increased. The final states can contain either considerable or negligible amounts of defects. In the latter case, there occurs a structural transition from five to sixfold symmetry which can be described by introducing an order parameter, whose evolution characterizes the transition to be continuous or discontinuous as in the case of Xe/QC (first-order transition with associated latent heat). By simulating fictitious noble gases, we find that the existence of the transition is correlated with the size mismatch between adsorbate and substrate's characteristic lengths. A simple rule is proposed to predict the phenomenon.

description: This project was designed to support development of USAF reports and maps showing and listing those federally recognized American Indian Tribes in the Continental US with the closest past and historic affiliations to lands currently occupied by United States Air Force installations. This project was intended to support the Air Force in complying with the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) regulations at 32 CFR 229.7(b)1, which state: "In order to identify sites of religious or cultural importance, the Federal land manager shall seek to identify all Indian tribes having aboriginal or historic ties to the lands under the federal land manager's jurisdiction...". In order to accomplish this task, archival maps, and maps in the anthropological literature were consulted to produce a series of nationwide maps showing areas of past Tribal occupation. These areas of occupation were then correlated to U.S. Air Force lands to identify potential installation Tribal affiliations.

Το πειραματικό μέρος παρουσιάζει μία προσομοίωση της συμπεριφοράς και της δομής του κελύφους abalone, κατά την οποία δημιουργήθηκαν τρία δοκίμια με τετραγωνικές φολίδες και τρία χωρίς φολίδες, με τριών ειδών συγκολλητικές ουσίες (αυτοκόλλητη ταινία διπλής όψεως, σιλικόνη και αλευρόκολλα), των οποίων μετρήθηκε η κάμψη μετά από εφαρμογή φορτίου. Η προσομοίωση έδειξε ότι τα δοκίμια με τις φολίδες είναι πράγματι πιο ελαστικά επιβεβαιώνοντας το ρόλο της απορρόφησης των υψηλών ενεργειών των κρούσεων στην συγκολλητική πρωτεΐνη του abalone.
description: Constant human efforts and visions for improving of tools and technology systems led inevitably in searching ideas and solutions from nature. The very different and wisely chosen techniques, great accuracy, quality and methodology are some of nature’s characteristics that inspired the scientists to apply them into human modern technology. This project distributes some examples and methods that were used in many fields and were resulted by the observation of the behavior and the morphology of mammals, insects and plants. The experimental part of the project simulates the behavior and the structure of abalone sea-shell. We created three specimens that were consisted of square plastic scales and three plastic specimens with no scales, and we measured their deflection after applying certain value of mass. Each specimen had three layers of the same basic structure and we used three kind of adhesive materials in each (2-faced adhesive tape, silicone and gluten). The results of the simulation showed that the scaled specimens were indeed distributing greater elasticity than the non-scaled ones, confirming the energy absorption role of the adhesive protein of abalone shell.

description: We show that the phase of a condensate in a finite temperature gas spreads linearly in time at long times rather than in a diffusive way. This result is supported by classical field simulations, and analytical calculations which are generalized to the quantum case under the assumption of quantum ergodicity in the system. This super-diffusive behavior is intimately related to conservation of energy during the free evolution of the system and to fluctuations of energy in the prepared initial state.

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The objective of this study was to establish 1996 safety belt and child safety seat usage rates in Kentucky. The 1996 survey documents the continuing results from enacting a statewide mandatory safety belt law in 1994. Data were collected at 100 sites and combined based on vehicle miles travelled for a given type of highway, rural or urban location, and county population category. Also included in the report is an analysis of accident records evaluating the effectiveness of safety belts.  The data show that the decrease in the usage rate which occurred in 1995 after the dramatic increase in 1994, after enactment of the statewide usage law, did not continue. The driver usage rate in 1996 was 55 percent, compared to 54 percent in 1995 and 58 percent in 1994. The rate is substantially above the 1993 level of 42 percent.  The statewide usage rate for children under the age of four was determined to be 79 percent. This is the highest rate found since the start of the surveys and compares to the previous high of 72 percent in 1994.  Benefits in the reduction of injuries for occupants involved in police-reported accidents wearing a safety belt or in a safety seat were shown through the analysis of accident records. For example, there was a 63 percent reduction in a driver sustaining a fatal or incapacitating injury in a traffic accident when a safety belt was worn compared to not wearing a safety belt.

Oktober 2014 im Mahnmal St. Nikolai in Hamburg eröffnet und ist seitdem an mehreren Orten in Deutschland präsentiert worden. Ausgangspunkt für dieses Projekt war die Entdeckung, dass neben deutschen Fotografen, die den Aufstand dokumentiert haben – Mitglieder der Propagandakompanien (PK) der Wehrmacht und SS, die seit den 1930er Jahren standardmäßig mit Leica-Kameras ausgestattet wurden –, auch die Mehrzahl der Fotograf*innen unter den polnischen Kriegsberichterstatter*innen (PSW – Prasowi Sprawozdawcy Wojenni) mit einer Leica in Warschau fotografierte.
The institutionalization of high school teacher education at the University of British Columbia
Creators: name: Scott, Joan Katherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis explores the early twentieth century beginnings of the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia, when that university first accepted responsibility for the education of secondary teachers. The university's participation came in successive stages, beginning with summer school sessions, moving to a shared training responsibility for high school teachers with the Normal School, and eventually to total responsibility for the training of high school teachers. In addition to documenting the steps by which high school teacher training became established as a program of university studies, this study analyzes the academic, social and political forces that combined to create a perceived need for, and then to legitimize, the creation of a new university department. The University of British Columbia's acceptance of responsibility for this training was a culmination of a complex social interaction of three groups (including the state, the teachers, and university administrators and faculty) all of whose values were shaped by the newly dominant ideology of professionalism. Accordingly, fundamental assumptions about "appropriate" training for teachers were embedded in a social milieu where professionalization, bureaucratization, and gender issues were compelling forces. The perceived centrality of professionals in a increasingly technocratic society led to pressure being exerted from a number of quarters in British Columbia for the institutionalization of high school teacher training in an appropriately scientific arena - the university. This study focuses on the theoretical principles underlying the dialectic of ideological determinism and human agency, as well as the historical evidence of the way that one such ideology (professionalism) shaped the transition of social policy (high school teacher training). The study concludes by utilizing contemporary theoretical perspectives to discuss the premises which inform not only the ideology of professionalism but also any metanarrative which purports to identify the true way for training teachers and by expressing hope that, as the type of knowledge associated with social power shifts, those who establish any new framework for teacher education will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Multi-Antenna Joint Radar and Communications: Precoder Optimization and Weighted Sum-Rate vs Probing Power Tradeoff

description: In order to further exploit the potential of joint multi-antenna radar-communication (RadCom) system, we propose two transmission techniques respectively based on separated and shared antenna deployments. Both techniques are designed to maximize the weighted sum rate (WSR) and the probing power at target's location under average power constraints at the antennas such that the system can simultaneously communicate with downlink users and detect the target within the same frequency band. Based on a Weighted Minimized Mean Square Errors (WMMSE) method, the separated deployment transmission is designed via semidefinite programming (SDP) while the shared deployment problem is solved by majorization-minimization (MM) algorithm. Numerical results show that the shared deployment outperforms the separated deployment in radar beamforming. The tradeoffs between WSR and probing power at target are compared among both proposed transmissions and two practically simpler dual-function implementations i.e., time division and frequency division. Results show that although the separated deployment enables spectrum sharing, it experiences a performance loss compared with frequency division, while the shared deployment outperforms both and surpasses time division in certain conditions.

description: The objectives of this report were to document the activities and evaluate the effectiveness of a regional traffic safety improvement program in the Green River Area Development District (GRADD). This is a seven county region in western Kentucky. The goals of the program were to reduce the numbers of motor vehicle fatalities and injuries, to increase safety belt usage, and to increase public awareness of the effects of alcohol-related and high speed driving in rural areas.  A full-time employee was hired by GRADD to manage the program. A Citizen Advisory Board (CAB) was established in each county. Each CAB formulated a mission statement, identified problems they desired to address, established goals and objectives, and developed strategies and activities. Activities in the program included: radio and television public service announcements, development of a logo, development and distribution of several pamphlets, placing traffic safety billboards, presenting programs to various groups on different traffic safety topics, distributing numerous promotional items, participating in community events such as parades and festivals, use of safety characters, providing training such as TIPS, and providing a visual display radar.  The accident analysis showed that the number of accidents and injuries in the GRADD decreased after the start of the safety program at a level which was statistically significant compared to statewide statistics. While the number of fatalities increased, due to the small numbers, the change was not statistically significant compared to statewide statistics.  Safety belt usage in the GRADD increased at a higher rate than the statewide increase. Before the program, the usage rate in the GRADD was substantially below the statewide average but the usage rate increased to a level only slightly below the statewide average.  The evaluation revealed that the program was successful in hiring and training a coordinator, creating a CAB in each county, developing highway safety literature specific to the GRADD, and presenting highway safety information to the general public through such methods as public service announcements, newspaper articles, pamphlets, billboards, participation in community events, and distribution of highway safety materials.  The success of this program in achieving its goals and objectives shows that the concept of a regional safety program is a valid method of reducing traffic accidents and informing the public of traffic safety issues.

description: Peterson Air Force Base hosted the first biannual tribal relations meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on 25 and 26 April 2017 to establish a foundation for dialogue and government-to-government consultation. The first of its kind, six Air Force installations participated in this meeting: Peterson Air Force Base; Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station; Schriever Air Force Base; Buckley Air Force Base; F.E. Warren Air Force Base; and the U.S. Air Force Academy.

The meeting format was designed to encourage interactions between the tribes and Air Force personnel in order to establish foundational relationships. Commanders from each installation pre-sented an overview of their base missions, histories, and resources during the morning and early afternoon on the first day. During these presentations, tribal representatives were encouraged to raise questions and concerns. Following these presentations, tribal representatives were provided time to visit each installation booth, where a variety of installation representatives were available to answer questions, provide additional information, and engage in one-on-one conversations with tribal representatives. Additionally, time was reserved during the first afternoon for a round table discussion.
