Data Center Design - From SP to DLC
Creators: name: Finnegan, Patrick
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The last 20 years has seen a move in HPC which has enabled a huge growth in density of systems, from 3KW to over 40KW per rack. This has caused a needed change from zone-based cooling with CRACs and 120/208V power to water to the server and 415V power. I will look at where we came from, and what we are doing today to fit next generation technology into a 1960s data center. Presented by Patrick Finnegan, Data Center Architect at Purdue University

description: Many types of stars have strong magnetic fields that can dynamically influence the flow of circumstellar matter. In stars with accretion disks, the stellar magnetic field can truncate the inner disk and determine the paths that matter can take to flow onto the star. These paths are different in stars with different magnetospheres and periods of rotation. External field lines of the magnetosphere may inflate and produce favorable conditions for outflows from the disk-magnetosphere boundary. Outflows can be particularly strong in the propeller regime, wherein a star rotates more rapidly than the inner disk. Outflows may also form at the disk-magnetosphere boundary of slowly rotating stars, if the magnetosphere is compressed by the accreting matter. In isolated, strongly magnetized stars, the magnetic field can influence formation and/or propagation of stellar wind outflows. Winds from low-mass, solar-type stars may be either thermally or magnetically driven, while winds from massive, luminous O and B type stars are radiatively driven. In all of these cases, the magnetic field influences matter flow from the stars and determines many observational properties. In this chapter we review recent studies of accretion, outflows, and winds of magnetized stars with a focus on three main topics: (1) accretion onto magnetized stars; (2) outflows from the disk-magnetosphere boundary; and (3) winds from isolated massive magnetized stars. We show results obtained from global magnetohydrodynamic simulations and, in a number of cases compare global simulations with observations.

description: We present the first survey of dense gas towards Planck Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCCs). Observations in the J=1-0 transitions of HCO+ and HCN towards 621 molecular cores associated with PGCCs were performed using the Purple Mountain Observatory 13.7-m telescope. Among them, 250 sources have detection, including 230 cores detected in HCO+ and 158 in HCN. Spectra of the J=1-0 transitions from CO, 13CO, and C18O at the centers of the 250 cores were extracted from previous mapping observations to construct a multi-line data set. The significantly low detection rate of asymmetric double-peaked profiles, together with the well consistence among central velocities of CO, HCO+, and HCN spectra, suggests that the CO-selected Planck cores are more quiescent compared to classical star-forming regions. The small difference between line widths of C18O and HCN indicates that the inner regions of CO-selected Planck cores are not more turbulent than the exterior. The velocity-integrated intensities and abundances of HCO+ are positively correlated with those of HCN, suggesting these two species are well coupled and chemically connected. The detected abundances of both HCO+ and HCN are significantly lower than values in other low- to high-mass star-forming regions. The low abundances may be due to beam dilution. On the basis of the inspection of the parameters given in the PGCC catalog, we suggest that there may be about 1 000 PGCC objects having sufficient reservoir of dense gas to form stars.

description: We introduced fermionic variables in complex modules over real Clifford algebras of even dimension which are analog of the Witt basis. We built primitive idempotents which are a set of equivalent Clifford vacuums. It is shown that the modules are decomposed into direct sum of minimal left ideals generated by these idempotents and that the fermionic variables can be considered as more fundamental mathematical objects than spinors.

description: Biofouling is one of the most serious problems in membrane filtration systems for water treatment. An easily applicable antimicrobial finish of polyethersulfone (PES) filter membranes is shown by derivatizing an approved chlorin photosensitizer drug with adhesive ortho-catechol functionalities as known from l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanin (Dopa) residues of marine mussel glues. The chemical structure of the second-generation photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (m-THPC) is modified by 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) oxidation, transforming the peripheric meta-phenols of m-THPC into ortho-catechols, and thus improving the adsorption properties of m-THPC derivatives onto PES material. Stable coatings are formed that preserve chlorin's capability to generate singlet oxygen under visible light illumination. The modification of one or two phenol groups out of the four m-THPC substituents leads to an optimum in the generation of active singlet oxygen, and thus the finish significantly reduces the bacterial growth of gram-negative Escherichia coli and gram-positive Micrococcus luteus on the PES membranes.

description: Studies from more than 10 years ago showed epinephrine treatment of food-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency department (ED) was unacceptably low. We investigated whether epinephrine treatment of food-induced and other cause anaphylaxis in United States and Canadian EDs has changed over time. Guided by a health sciences librarian, we performed a systematic search in Medline, Embase, and Web of Science on 11 January 2023. We included observational studies that reported epinephrine use to treat anaphylaxis in the ED. We stratified by anaphylaxis etiology (food-, venom-, medication-induced, or any cause). Associations between year and epinephrine use were tested using Spearman correlation and proportional meta-analysis. Of 2458 records identified in our initial search, 40 met inclusion criteria. Of these, 14 examined food-induced, 4 venom-induced, 0 medication-induced, and 24 any cause anaphylaxis. For epinephrine treatment of food-induced anaphylaxis in the ED, among studies using similar definition of anaphylaxis, meta-analysis showed a pooled value of 20.7% (95% CI 17.8, 23.8) for studies performed >10 years ago and 45.1% (95% CI 38.4, 52.0) from those in the last 10 years. For anaphylaxis of any cause, there was no change over time, with a pooled value of 45.0% (95% CI 39.8, 50.3) over the last 10 years. Epinephrine treatment of food-induced anaphylaxis in the ED has increased over time. There was no clear change for anaphylaxis of any cause. Over the last 10 years, approximately 45% of ED patients with anaphylaxis received epinephrine. A limitation of the evidence is heterogeneity in anaphylaxis definitions.

description: Poultry litter on agricultural lands could introduce nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), heavy metals in soil and ground water. Native vegetations were identified to assess efficacy for phytoremediation of nutrients and metals from soil and water. Objective was to measure capability of multi-year native species to remove metals, nutrients, and prevent Nitrate-N leaching below the rooting zone. Treatments were distributed in four replicates with/without fertilization. Suction lysimeters were installed at 30, 60, and 90-cm depths in 3 of 4 replicates. Species were identified, recorded, five specified cuttings sampled. Plant, soil, water samples were prepared and analyzed by spectroscopy. Nitrate-N extraction, nitrates in water samples were determined using flow injection analysis. Fertilized plots (NVM) had 39% more biomass yield than unfertilized plots (NVN). In plants, nutrient and metal concentrations varied significantly with 14% increase in Zn, 36% and 26% in K and Mg over NVN for first and second year. Uneven between NVM and NVN, topsoil had higher values for most nutrients and metals. Largest P and (NO3−)−N in plant and water were observed from NVM. Cultivation of native vegetation appears to be an effective approach for remediation of excess nitrates-N, P, heavy metals from surface and sub-surface zones of the soil. Native vegetation has been used for soil fertility, specific reasons like the removal of pesticides or agrochemicals, and other chemical related exposures. Studies on the use of native vegetation for phytoremediation on agricultural lands are uncommon. This research looked at the capability of native vegetation of different species as a viable tool for the remo+val of excess nutrients and heavy metals from agricultural lands. Results indicated native vegetation can take up significant amounts of excess nutrients from soils, proportional to their biomass accumulation. Native Vegetation was therefore found to be a nutrient sink, capable of removing excess nutrients/metals from the soil.

description: Three phases are typically observed during solar flares: the preflare, impulsive, and decay phases. During the impulsive phase, it is believed that the electrons and other particles are accelerated after the stored energy in the magnetic field is released by reconnection. The impulsivity of a solar flare is a quantifiable property that shows how quickly this initial energy release occurs. It is measured via the impulsivity parameter, which we define as the inverse of the overall duration of the impulsive phase. We take the latter as the raw width of the most prominent nonthermal emission of the flare. We computed this observable over a work sample of 48 M-class events that occurred during the current Solar Cycle 24 by using three different methods. The first method takes into account all of the nonthermal flare emission and gives very accurate results, while the other two just cover fixed energy intervals (30-40 keV and 25-50 keV) and are useful for fast calculations. We propose an alternative way to classify solar flares according to their impulsivity parameter values, defining three different types of impulsivity, namely, high, medium, and low. This system of classification is independent of the manner used to calculated the impulsivity parameter. Lastly, we show the relevance of this tool as a discriminator of different HXR generation processes.

description: Herein we demonstrate an enhanced performance of acid-assisted thiosulfate-impregnated spent/waste tea leaves (TWTL) for the removal of malachite green (MG) from water by batch mode. The material was characterized by pHZPC, FTIR, powder XRD, SEM, and proximate analysis. FTIR suggests the presence of polyphenolic moieties whereas a lignocellulosic peak was observed in powder XRD. SEM image shows a grafted surface texture with intermittent blocks, which upon dye uptake becomes somewhat condensed. Under optimized conditions, the highest removal efficiency of 126.8 mg/g was achieved at pH 7. A fast adsorption process was noticed with >97% removal within the first 10 min. Adsorption follows pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.999) and the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.999). The material can be regenerated by dilute hydrochloric acid and can be reused for up to four cycles. Treatment of industrial effluent was successful in up to 47.56%. Our results highlight the potential of thiosulfate-treated spent tea leaves as a choice for the efficient removal of malachite green from water. Tea, being one of the most popular beverages produces huge waste which requires proper management. With this aim; the thiosulfate-impregnated spent tea leaves have been exercised for effective separation of malachite green from contaminated water. Thiosulfate impregnation under mildly acidic conditions activates the tea leaves and makes the material robust with enhanced water stability than its untreated variety. With a remarkable maximum adsorption capacity of 126.8 mg/g under ambient conditions, the present methodology enjoys the edge over related phytosorbents. The protocol is techno-economic, environment friendly, and could be extended to possible field applications.

description: Developing efficient electrode materials is a key towards high power electrochemical energy storage devices. Two-dimensional (2D) MXene shows excellent conductivity and electrochemical performance among other materials. However, the restacking of MXene layers may degrade their specific capacity and cycling performance. Considering this challenge, here we have designed a composite made of 2D MXene nanosheets and lanthanum oxide (La2O3) nanoparticles to overcome the limitations. The bifunctionality of La2O3 nanoparticles prevents the restacking of MXene layers and enhances the electrochemical properties of the electrode due to its good Faradic characteristics. The specific capacitance of the La2O3/MXene composite electrode is 366 F/g at 1 A/g, which is 4.5 and 3 times higher than those of the individual La2O3 and MXene. The composite electrode displays a capacitance retention of 96% after 1,000 cycles, which is due to synergistic effects between the two components and indicates the potential of La2O3/MXene composite for supercapacitors. In this work, we designed a novel composite made of 2D MXene nanosheets and lanthanum oxide (La2O3) nanoparticles to enhance the supercapacitor performance. The excellent electrochemical performance stems from the synergistic effect between La2O3 nanoparticles and 2D MXene nanosheets of the composite electrode, where the La2O3 nanoparticles prevent MXene nanosheets from restacking, and MXene nanosheets offer fast charge transportation.

description: The idea of AI (AI) as a supply chain management anti turbulent technology has developed in a very academic and skilled literature in a chaotic and unstructured manner. Somehow it has been discussed in United Kingdom during 2011 but not deep diving was desired for this concept to hold the SCM away from strong turbulences. This study aims to supply clarity over the development of supply chain management2.0 activation of AI by suggesting of a comprehensive and systematic literature review, aimed toward suggesting a transparent description of what AI is today. The study analyses a corpus of 3780 contributions through an inspired combination of 2 established machine learning algorithms (LDA and hierarchical clustering). The review created a structured classification of the varied streams of current analysis and an inventory of promising emerging trends. Results have shed lightweight on six topics as a result of 3 diﬀerent themes, particularly Implications, Implications, Applications and Methods (IAM model). Our analysis may give analyzers and practitioners with a significant summary of the body of information and research agenda, to use AI as an eﬀective enabler to drive supply chain management worth.

description: We use radiation hydrodynamics with direct particle integration to explore the feasibility of chondrule formation in planetary embryo bow shocks. The calculations presented here are used to explore the consequences of a Mars-size planetary embryo traveling on a moderately excited orbit through the dusty, early environment of the solar system. The embryo's eccentric orbit produces a range of supersonic relative velocities between the embryo and the circularly orbiting gas and dust, prompting the formation of bow shocks. Temporary atmospheres around these embryos, which can be created via volatile outgassing and gas capture from the surrounding nebula, can non-trivially affect thermal profiles of solids entering the shock. We explore the thermal environment of solids that traverse the bow shock at different impact radii, the effects that planetoid atmospheres have on shock morphologies, and the stripping efficiency of planetoidal atmospheres in the presence of high relative winds. Simulations are run using adiabatic and radiative conditions, with multiple treatments for the local opacities. Shock speeds of 5, 6, and 7 km/s are explored. We find that a high-mass atmosphere and inefficient radiative conditions can produce peak temperatures and cooling rates that are consistent with the constraints set by chondrule furnace studies. For most conditions, the derived cooling rates are potentially too high to be consistent with chondrule formation.

It is used standard Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory in order to obtain the corrections to the the ground state energy and wave function. It is shown that an induced four-pole moment arises, due to the Lorentz symmetry breaking. The model considered is the one studied in reference Eur. Phys. J.

description: We perform hydro- and magnetohydrodynamical general relativistic simulations of a tidal disruption of a $0.1\,M_\odot$ red dwarf approaching a $10^5\,M_\odot$ non-rotating massive black hole on a close (impact parameter $β=10$) elliptical (eccentricity $e=0.97$) orbit. We track the debris self-interaction, circularization, and the accompanying accretion through the black hole horizon. We find that the relativistic precession leads to the formation of a self-crossing shock. The dissipated kinetic energy heats up the incoming debris and efficiently generates a quasi-spherical outflow. The self-interaction is modulated because of the feedback exerted by the flow on itself. The debris quickly forms a thick, almost marginally bound disc that remains turbulent for many orbital periods. Initially, the accretion through the black hole horizon results from the self-interaction, while in the later stages it is dominated by the debris originally ejected in the shocked region, as it gradually falls back towards the hole. The effective viscosity in the debris disc stems from the original hydrodynamical turbulence, which dominates over the magnetic component. The radiative efficiency is very low because of low energetics of the gas crossing the horizon and large optical depth that results in photon trapping.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) group-III-V honeycomb films have attracted significant interest for their potential application in fields of quantum computing and nanoeletronics. Searching for 2D III-V films with high structural stability and large-gap are crucial for the realizations of dissipationless transport edge states using quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect. Based on first-principles calculations, we predict that the methyl-functionalized InBi monolayer (InBiCH3) has no dynamic instability, and host a QSH state with a band gap as large as 0.29 eV, exhibiting an interesting electronic behavior viable for room-temperature applications. The topological characteristic is confirmed by s-pxy bands inversion, topological invariant Z2 number, and the time-reversal symmetry protected helical edge states. Noticeably, the QSH states are tunable and robust against the mechanical strain, electric field and different levels of methyl coverages. We also find that InBiCH3 supported on h-BN substrate maintains a nontrivial QSH state, which harbors the edge states lying within the band gap of substrate. These findings demonstrate that the methyl-functionalized III-V films may be a good QSH platform for device design and fabrication in spintronics.

We illustrate the rich interplay between correlations and lags with a two-qubit device driven by a quantum gate.

description: Parents and community members have a wide variety of information at their disposal when evaluating educational quality. Message boards, government-provided information on standardized test scores and student demographics, and privately-provided quality assessments, such as the high-profile GreatSchools ratings, are just some of the information sources that individuals use to assess school quality and guide residential location and enrollment decisions. Scholars have investigated which sources of information have the largest impact on enrollment decisions (e.g., Valant and Newark 2020). We are interested in whether different reference frames for understanding school quality affect the type of information individuals use when evaluating schools and making enrollment decisions. To explore this, we develop four information-provision interventions that direct individuals' attention to different aspects of school quality. Using conjoint experiments, we investigate how each of the interventions affects the responsiveness of enrollment choice decisions to demographic composition, standardized test score averages, and measures of student growth from standardized test scores. The results have important implications for understanding how parents and community members evaluate school quality and can inform policy decisions regarding the presentation of information about educational performance.

description: Brillouin microscopy has recently emerged as powerful technique to characterize the mechanical properties of biological tissue, cell and biomaterials. However, the potential of Brillouin microscopy is currently limited to transparent samples, because Brillouin spectrometers do not have sufficient spectral extinction to reject the predominant non-Brillouin scattered light of turbid media. To overcome this issue, we developed a spectrometer composed of a two VIPA stages and a multi-pass Fabry-Perot interferometer. The Fabry-Perot etalon acts as an ultra-narrow band-pass filter for Brillouin light with high spectral extinction and low loss. We report background-free Brillouin spectra from Intralipid solutions and up to 100 microns deep within chicken muscle tissue.

description: We present analytical and numerical models of a normal-polarity quiescent prominence that are based on the model of Pikelner (Solar Phys. 1971, 17, 44 ). We derive the general analytical expressions for the two-dimensional equilibrium plasma quantities such as the mass density and a gas pressure, and we specify magnetic-field components for the prominence, which corresponds to a dense and cold plasma residing in the dip of curved magnetic-field lines. With the adaptation of these expressions, we solve numerically the 2D, nonlinear, ideal MHD equations for a Pikelner's model of a prominence that is initially perturbed by reducing the gas pressure at the dip of magnetic-field lines. Our findings reveal that as a result of pressure perturbations the prominence plasma starts evolving in time and this leads to the antisymmetric magnetoacoustic--gravity oscillations as well as to the mass-density growth at the magnetic dip, and the magnetic-field lines subside there. This growth depends on the depth of magnetic dip. For a shallower dip, less plasma is condensed and vice-versa. We conjecture that the observed long-period magnetoacoustic-gravity oscillations in various prominence systems are in general the consequence of the internal pressure perturbations of the plasma residing in equilibrium at the prominence dip.

Concentration results for directed polymer with unbounded jumps
Creators: name: Nakajima, Shuta
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We study the free energy and its relevant quantity for the directed polymer in random environment. The polymer is allowed to make unbounded jumps and the environment is given by the Bernoulli variables. We first establish the concentration of the ground state energy of polymer at zero temperature. Secondly, we also prove the same property of the free energy at finite temperature. In the proof, we use the fact that the maximum jump of any polymer nearly minimizing energy is not too large with high probability. This is an interesting property itself from the first passage percolation viewpoint.

Circle/Sphere-Based Microstructure Reconstruction and Generation
Creators: name: LI, YILIN
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis is about the reconstruction and generation of microstructure virtual models with microstructure characteristics. The circles/spheres as one of the simplest geometries are utilized to achieve this objective. In the first part of this study, a method is proposed using circles and spheres to reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) microstructures of materials based on the information characterized from the two-dimensional (2D) images. In the second part of this study, a method is proposed to generate 2D/3D stochastic microstructures through the populating process of the circles/spheres. In the third part of this study, the circle/sphere populating method is further developed with the active control of overlapping, including prohibiting overlapping of circles/spheres. Controlling the sphere overlapping, the microstructure of powder beds in laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing can be generated.

Laundered: an analysis of antiquities trafficking networks and the illicit market
Creators: name: Picciano, Paulina Joy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: The illicit trade in cultural property is a well-known issue that addresses objects that have been illegally exported out of source countries for the art market. Due diligence and proper provenance have long been cited as important factors for combatting this transnational crime, but a gray art market has long since ignored these measures for reducing the number of illicit objects in the market. This thesis analyzes antiquities trafficking networks, specifically those related to South Asian antiquities, the agents of trafficking, and the illicit market for antiquities. In doing so, it examines the role of art laundering that facilitates the sale of illegally obtained objects through the art market and looks at the policies that are currently in place to combat antiquities trafficking.
On a group-theoretical approach to the curl operator

description: We utilize group-theoretical methods to develop a matrix representation of differential operators that act on tensors of any rank. In particular, we concentrate on the matrix formulation of the curl operator. A self-adjoint matrix of the curl operator is constructed and its action is extended to a complex plane. This scheme allows us to obtain properties, similar to those of the traditional curl operator.

Enhanced Slippery Behavior and Stability of Lubricating Fluid Infused Nanostructured Surfaces

description: Stability of lubricating fluid infused slippery surfaces is a concern for scientists and engineers and attempts are being made for its improvement. Lubricating oil coated slippery surface for aqueous drops is one of the important candidates in this class and their stability needs be improved to make them useful for practical applications. Cloaking of water drops with thin lubricant layer results in the loss of lubricant leading to deterioration of slippery behavior. Surface roughness or porosity provides larger surface area to the lubricating fluid and would to affect the stability of the lubricating film. Here we report the effect of surface roughness, from tens of nanometer to few microns, on the stability of slippery surface. Samples with small nanoscale roughness show improved performance in terms of contact angle hysteresis, critical tilt angle and slip velocity. Whereas large roughness samples show poorer performance compared to small nanoscale roughness and smooth samples. Small nanoscale roughness samples also show relatively slower deterioration against loss of lubricant during water flow. Once completely lost, the slippery behavior can be restored again simply by coating the sample again by the lubricating fluid.

description: We study the birational geometry of moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on the projective plane via Bridgeland stability conditions. We show that the entire MMP of their moduli spaces can be run via wall-crossing. Via a description of the walls, we give a numerical description of their movable cones, along with its chamber decomposition corresponding to minimal models. As an application, we show that for primitive vectors, all birational models corresponding to open chambers in the movable cone are smooth and irreducible.

title: Post-mortem and ante-mortem 2D and 3D facial comparison for forensic identification
Creators: name: Burton, I
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2024

description: This research explores the application of manual facial comparison methods and offline (semi-) automated face recognition algorithms to human identification of recently deceased individuals, using 3D (N=3) and 2D (N=6) data. Current methods are generally designed for and applied to the living, are not commonly used in combination or hierarchical order, and are mostly tested under controlled, lab-based conditions. The aforementioned makes their applicability to real-life settings questionable, and research on their application to the deceased is scarce, although desperately needed. Further issues arise from the lack of uniformity and standardisation in methodological approaches, as well as feature descriptions and terminology. This study investigates the applicability of combined, manual face comparison methods in hierarchical order (preliminary feature-based analysis, facial superimposition, detailed morphological comparison) and two (semi-) automated face recognition algorithms (MATLAB® and Picasa) to the recently deceased. Pilot and ancillary studies explore pretend-dead faces as a data source and evaluate geometry vs. texture in 3D face models. 3D data was obtained using the Artec handheld laser scanner. Key findings indicate that human face matching ability is superior and more resilient to PM facial changes, non-standardised AM data, and limited data availability, compared to the automated methods tested. Results further suggest that a hierarchical approach to manual comparison is highly beneficial. MATLAB®’s algorithm is unreliable even as a filtering tool and Picasa struggled to detect PM faces in images; an issue not encountered with pretend-dead data. Both automated approaches utilised here are not suitable for application on similar datasets or in casework settings, unlike the manual approach – the latter requiring further validation. Limitations arise primarily from the small sample size and non-quantifiable approaches to manual facial superimposition. In forensic casework and disaster victim identification scenarios, comparative AM data for primary and even secondary methods of identification are often lacking. However, facial photographs are almost always attainable and should be considered an important resource for post-mortem identification. The interdisciplinary nature of this field requires collaborative efforts to address remaining challenges in the future.
