description: The development of a multimodal transportation network to improve traffic efficiency is gaining extensive interest from researchers. Shifting road traffic to other modes of transport potentially saves travel-related costs. In particular, shifting freight traffic away from roads may reduce the deterioration of pavements, which influences the decisions related to pavement maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction requirements. However, there is little evidence on the impact of the shifting phenomenon on road maintenance requirements. This article presents a new highways agency-focused model that integrates pavement maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction decisions with development of a multimodal transportation network involving railway and seaway routes. The model is presented within an optimization framework and illustrates the application to a real-life case study. A greedy heuristic is modified by incorporating a threshold-based strategy, aligning the model with the highways agencies’ workflow, bringing with it the benefits offered by the optimization.

description: We report the detection of a strong HI 21-cm absorption system at z=0.5344, as well as a candidate system at z=0.3389, in the sight-line towards the z=2.64 quasar MG J0414+0534. This, in addition to the absorption at the host redshift and the other two intervening absorbers, takes the total to four (possibly five). The previous maximum number of 21-cm absorbers detected along a single sight-line is two and so we suspect that this number of gas-rich absorbers is in some way related to the very red colour of the background source. Despite this, no molecular gas (through OH absorption) has yet been detected at any of the 21-cm redshifts, although, from the population of 21-cm absorbers as a whole, there is evidence for a weak correlation between the atomic line strength and the optical--near-infrared colour. In either case, the fact that so many gas-rich galaxies (likely to be damped Lyman-alpha absorption systems) have been found along a single sight-line towards a highly obscured source may have far reaching implications for the population of faint galaxies not detected in optical surveys, a possibility which could be addressed through future wide-field absorption line surveys with the Square Kilometre Array.

description: This article proposes a new formulation for the maximum leaf spanning tree problem (MLSTP) using network flow concepts to ensure the graph connectivity of the problem’s solutions. Since the MLSTP is NP hard, the MLSTP genetic algorithm (MGA) is also developed to solve large-scale instances. The proposed formulation optimally solved 37 out of 41 instances of existing benchmarks, comparable with results of the available formulations in the literature. MGA solved all of the existing benchmarks in less than 1 min without a significant optimality gap. MGA also found qualified solutions for large-scale instances of up to 2000 vertices in a reasonable time. As a realistic application of MLSTP, a forest fire detection system was developed and successfully simulated for the Iranian Arasbaran forest using a wireless sensor network (WSN). The proposed formulation was used to find the optimal topology of the WSN responsible for the early detection and timely warning of fires in Arasbaran.

description: We report reduced contact resistance of single-layer graphene devices by using ultraviolet ozone (UVO) treatment to modify the metal/graphene contact interface. The devices were fabricated from mechanically transferred, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown, single layer graphene. UVO treatment of graphene in the contact regions as defined by photolithography and prior to metal deposition was found to reduce interface contamination originating from incomplete removal of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and photoresist. Our control experiment shows that exposure times up to 10 minutes did not introduce significant disorder in the graphene as characterized by Raman spectroscopy. By using the described approach, contact resistance of less than 200 Ω μm was achieved, while not significantly altering the electrical properties of the graphene channel region of devices.

description: Within the framework of the Brueckner theory, the off-shell behaviors of the mass operator $M(k,ω)=V(k,ω)+iW(k,ω)$, i.e., its dependence upon the momentum $k$ and upon the nucleon frequency $ω$, are investigated by including nuclear three-body force (TBF). The first two terms of the hole-line expansion of the mass operator are taken into account. The TBF effects on their off-shell properties are discussed. A comparison is made between the on-shell and off-shell values of $M_{1}$. The nucleon spectral function and nucleon momentum distribution are also calculated, and the calculation shows that they are hardly affected by the TBF effect at the saturation density. At a high density two times greater than the saturation density, inclusion of the TBF may lead to a visible effect on the spectral function and may enhance the depletion of the hole states.

Here we advocate and demonstrate adaption of the h-index and the g-index to the top video content creators on YouTube. The h-index for Internet video media is based on videos and their view counts. The index h is defined as the number of videos with >= h*10^5 views. The index g is defined as the number of videos with >= g*10^5 views on average. When compared to a video creator's total view count, the h-index and g-index better capture both productivity and impact in a single metric.

description: Inflow turbulence impacts both the power outputs and structural loads of wind turbines. The PhD project (04/2020-04/2023) focuses on estimating atmospheric turbulence for wind turbines using nacelle-lidar measurements. This presentation introduces the background and motivation of this PhD project, and discusses four research questions:
 1. How to tackle the lidar probe volume attenuation and reduce the systematic error of lidar-estimated turbulence?
 2. Can nacelle lidars provide three-dimensional turbulence statistics as accurate as a sonic anemometer?
 3. How to estimate the along-wind variance from nacelle lidars with simple scanning patterns?
 4. How helpful can a single-beam lidar be for wind turbine control? The PhD project is a part of the Marie-Curie ITN LIdar Knowledge Europe (LIKE) and is funded by the EU.

description: We study numerically the "analyticity breakdown" transition in 1-dimensional quasi-periodic media. This transition corresponds physically to the transition between pinned down and sliding ground states. Mathematically, it corresponds to the solutions of a functional equation losing their analyticity properties. We implemented some recent numerical algorithms that are efficient and backed up by rigorous results so that we can compute with confidence even close to the breakdown. We have uncovered several phenomena that we believe deserve a theoretical explanation: A) The transition happens in a smooth surface. B) There are scaling relations near breakdown. C) The scaling near breakdown is very anisotropic. Derivatives in different directions blow up at different rates. Similar phenomena seem to happen in other KAM problems.

description: The dynamics and rheology of suspensions of fluid vesicles or red blood cells is investigated by a combination of molecular dynamics and mesoscale hydrodynamics simulations in two dimensions. The vesicle suspension is confined between two no-slip walls, which are driven externally to generate a shear flow with shear rate $\dotγ$. The flow behavior is studied as a function of $\dotγ$, the volume fraction of vesicles, and the viscosity contrast between inside and outside fluids. Results are obtained for the encounter and interactions of two vesicles, the intrinsic viscosity of the suspension, and the cell-free layer near the walls.

description: Many front-end applications of electron linear accelerators rely on the production of temporally-compressed bunches. The shortening of electron bunches is often realized with magnetic bunch compressors located in high-energy sections of accelerators. Magnetic compression is subject to collective effects including space charge and self interaction via coherent synchrotron radiation. In this paper we explore the application of magnetic compression to low-energy ($\sim 40$ MeV), high-charge (nC) electron bunches with low normalized transverse emittances ($< 5$ $μ$m).

description: The German automotive industry is facing the most challenging and demanding change in its 130-year history. It finds itself at a crossroads with an unknown future ahead. The renunciation of internal combustion engines and the pressure to replace them with emission-free electric engines poses an immense challenge to the entire industry. This thesis examines how electrification as a pro-environmental change is communicated and perceived, and how its communication differs from conventional change communication. An explorative case study structure was applied. It focuses on three automotive companies from South-West Germany, of which two are supplier companies, and one is an original equipment manufacturer. In total, 41 participants took part in semi-structured interviews. Secondary data in the form of publications issued by the government and automotive companies were additionally analysed. Moreover, observations at the study locations were undertaken to gain an understanding of how electrification as a change impacts the work environment of this thesis’ participants. This thesis found that the perceptions of electrification differ between automotive companies and are linked to the extent to which corporate cultures, business models, and individual beliefs support and facilitate pro-environmental actions. Moreover, an understanding of how German automotive companies attempt to communicate electrification was established. This thesis shows that companies discontinue their established change communication processes and replace them with new communication methods. In response to electrification, the case study companies created communication methods that they have never used before to communicate changes, showing the uniqueness of this pro-environmental change. This research is the very first academic contribution that explores automotive companies’ communicative responses to electrification and the perceptions towards electrification and its communication. Thus, this thesis aims to understand how automotive companies address electrification and how they utilise new communication methods in the pursuit of moving transportation into a new age.

description: We investigate the synchronization of oscillators based on anharmonic nanoelectromechanical resonators. Our experimental implementation allows unprecedented observation and control of parameters governing the dynamics of synchronization. We find close quantitative agreement between experimental data and theory describing reactively coupled Duffing resonators with fully saturated feedback gain. In the synchronized state we demonstrate a significant reduction in the phase noise of the oscillators, which is key for sensor and clock applications. Our work establishes that oscillator networks constructed from nanomechanical resonators form an ideal laboratory to study synchronization given their high-quality factors, small footprint, and ease of co-integration with modern electronic signal processing technologies.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Starting from the divergent character of the perturbative expansions in QCD and using the technique of series acceleration by the conformal mappings of the Borel plane, I define a novel, non-power perturbative expansion for the Adler function, which simultaneously implements renormalization-group summation and has a tamed large-order behaviour. The new expansion functions, which replace the standard powers of the coupling, are singular at the origin of the coupling plane and have divergent perturbative expansions, resembling the expanded function itself. Confronting the new perturbative expansions with the standard ones on specific models investigated recently in the literature, I show that they approximate in an impressive way the exact Adler function and the spectral function moments. Applied to the $τ$ hadronic width, the contour-improved and the renormalization-group summed non-power expansions in the ${\overline{\rm MS}}$ scheme lead to the prediction $α_s(M_τ^2)= 0.3192~^{+ 0.0167}_{-0.0126}$, which translates to $α_s(M_Z^2)= 0.1184~^{+0.0020}_{-0.0016}$.

description: The study of dispersion of solid wastes through a porous media is important in order to estimate the ecological impact that, in particular, a radioactive solid waste could produce when it spreads in the soil. There are some models available in literature which can help one simulate the dispersion of contaminants through a porous media, taking into account the physicochemical properties of the waste and its effect over the mobility, the adsorption-desorption equilibrium, and the irreversible adsorption over the walls that constitute the channel where it diffuses. However, the majority of these models do not consider the cooperative behavior given by the presence of other species competing each other for the substrate, nor the consequences that this competition produces in the thermodynamic equilibrium of the system. In this cases, the mesoscopic simulations have shown to be a viable alternative to study these kinds of systems. This work presents the study of the adsorption-desorption process for different components in a contaminated fluid by electrostatic mesoscopic molecular simulation using the dissipative particle dynamics method (DPD). It also shows how the presence of different components modifies the adsorption-desorption equilibrium, and this result suggests the importance of including the presence of all species in order to obtain results closer to reality.

description: Metrologische Gewichte der Späthallstatt- und Frühlatènezeit sind bislang kaum bekannt. Für das Aufblühen des spätlatènezeitlichen Münzwesens und der damit verbundenen Metrologie lassen sich bislang keine Vorstufen anführen. In diesem Beitrag werden Steinobjekte mit Eisenöse vor allem aus den Stufen Ha D3 und Lt A als potentielle Waaggewichte diskutiert. Aufgrund ihrer Größe und Masse könnten sie als Pfundoder Minengewichte angesprochen werden, nicht als Feingewichte. Diese Identifikation wird durch formale Analogien zu Gewichten mit Öse aus der Spätbronzezeit Mitteleuropas und Italien und durch eisenzeitliche Gewichte mit Eisenöse aus Italien, Spanien und England unterstützt. Einen klaren Hinweis liefert der spätlatènezeitliche Hort vom Oppidum Pohanská bei Plavecké Podhradie in Mähren, in dem sich neben zahlreichen Eisenwerkzeugen auch der Waagebalken einer Schnellwaage und ein solches Steingewicht mit Eisen - öse zusammen fanden. Die gleicharmigen Waagen mit Markierungen auf einem Schenkel aus Hochdorf und Satricum zeigen an, dass die Entwicklung zum Prinzip der Schnellwaage mit Laufgewicht bereits im 6.-5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. begonnen hatte. Möglicherweise wurden die Ösengewichte beim Eisenhandel verwendet. Ein eindeutiger Beweis für die Nutzung der späthallstatt- und frühlatènezeitlichen Ösengewichte als metrologische Gewichte kann einstweilen aber nicht erbracht werden.

description: We investigate the variability properties of blazars in the GeV band using the data of the Fermi/LAT telescope. We find that blazars exhibit variability on the scales down to the minimal timescale resolvable by Fermi, which is a function of the peak photon count rate in the LAT. This implies that the real minimal variability timescales for the majority of blazars are typically shorter than those resolvable by the LAT. We find that for several blazars these minimal variability timescales reach those associated to the blazar central engine, the supermassive black hole. At the same time, none of the blazars exhibits variability on the timescale shorter than the black hole horizon light crossing time and/or the period of rotation around the last stable circular orbit. Based on this fact, we argue that the timing properties of the gamma-ray signal could be determined by the processes in the direct vicinity of the supermassive black hole.

description: The UMass Amherst Libraries host the exhibit “Yankee Yarns: True Tales of New England Characters from the 1920s and 1930s,” through Monday, June 8, 2015, in the Learning Commons (Lower Level) and Special Collections and University Archives (Floor 25), at the W.E.B. Du Bois Library, University of Massachusetts Amherst.

“Yankee Yarns” showcases “Blackie” Blackington’s New England photography from the 1920s to the 1930s. Alton H. Blackington (1893-1963) was a writer, photojournalist, and radio personality associated with New England “lore and legend.” The exhibit covers terrain stretching from news of public officials and civic events to local personalities, but the heart of the exhibit is images of typically eccentric New England characters and human interest stories. Images, such as a young JFK, Charles Lindberg, and Upton Sinclair are paired with colorful hermits and charlatan astrologer Prof. Braganza, with background stories and their colorful “Yankee yarns.”

The exhibit is curated by David Bendiksen (2016, Humanities and Fine Arts) winner of UMass Amherst Libraries’ ETHIR Fellowship. Experiential Training in Historic Information Resources (ETHIR) is an initiative of the Department of Special Collections and University Archives in the UMass Amherst Libraries designed to provide students with structured, hands-on experience using and interpreting historical documentary resources.

The Alton H. Blackington Photograph Collection, consisting of 700 glass plate negatives, was purchased by Robb Sagendorf of Yankee Publishing around the time of Blackington’s death, and is held in Special Collections and University Archives. For details about this collection, please see http://scua.library.umass.edu/umarmot/blackington-alton-h/.

description: Energy transport and confinement in tokamak fusion plasmas is usually determined by the coupled nonlinear interactions of small-scale drift turbulence and larger scale coherent nonlinear structures, such as zonal flows, together with free energy sources such as temperature gradients. Zero-dimensional models, designed to embody plausible physical narratives for these interactions, can help identify the origin of enhanced energy confinement and of transitions between confinement regimes. A prime zero-dimensional paradigm is predator-prey or Lotka-Volterra. Here we extend a successful three-variable (temperature gradient; microturbulence level; one class of coherent structure) model in this genre [M A Malkov and P H Diamond, Phys. Plasmas 16, 012504 (2009)], by adding a fourth variable representing a second class of coherent structure. This requires a fourth coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equation. We investigate the degree of invariance of the phenomenology generated by the model of Malkov and Diamond, given this additional physics. We study and compare the long-time behaviour of the three-equation and four-equation systems, their evolution towards the final state, and their attractive fixed points and limit cycles. We explore the sensitivity of paths to attractors. It is found that, for example, an attractive fixed point of the three-equation system can become a limit cycle of the four-equation system. Addressing these questions - which we together refer to as "robustness" for convenience, is particularly important for models which, as here, generate sharp transitions in the values of system variables which may replicate some key features of confinement transitions. Our results help establish the robustness of the zero-dimensional model approach to capturing observed confinement phenomenology in tokamak fusion plasmas.

description: As a possible way of modifying the intrinsic properties of graphene we study the doping of graphene by embedded boron clusters with density functional theory. Cluster doping is technologically relevant as the cluster implantation technique can be readily applied to graphene. We find that B7 clusters embedded into graphene and graphene nanoribbons are structurally stable and locally metallize the system. This is done both by the reduction of the Fermi energy and by the introduction of boron states near the Fermi level. A linear chain of boron clusters forms a metallic "wire" inside the graphene matrix. In a zigzag edge graphene nanoribbon the cluster-related states tend to hybridize with the edge and bulk states. The magnetism in boron doped graphene systems is generally very weak. The presence of boron clusters weakens the edge magnetism in zigzag edge graphene nanoribbon, rather than making the system appropriate for spintronics. Thus the doping of graphene with the cluster implantation technique might be a viable technique to locally metallize graphene without destroying its attractive bulk properties.

description: A soft-wing airborne-wind energy kite, here the Kitepower B.V. system, consists of a kite control unit, bridle line system and wing. The flexible wing deforms when the actuation of the kite control unit changes the lengths of the steering and depower tape. The steering tape introduces an asymmetry in bridle line length, causing the kite to twist, yaw and roll, leading to a turn. The depower tape affects the orientation and shape of the kite, which influence, and are influenced by, the aerodynamic force. The interaction between structure and fluid causes an aeroelastic deformation of the wing. Current non-empirical modelling approaches either neglect deformation or requires too high computational costs to be useful for design and optimization purposes. In this work, actuation-induced and aeroelastic deformation are modelled simultaneously by representing the bridle line system and wing using a particle system model that runs within seconds. The bridle lines are modelled using spring dampers, and all connection points as particles. The wing comprises span-wise elements with a canopy spanned over two chord-wise tubes and a leading-edge tube. A bridle line connection is modelled at each element corner as a particle. The wing is a multi-plate with spring dampers at the plate edges and diagonals. The tubular frame its bending resistance is modelled using rotational spring dampers. With a Mach number under 0.3, a potential flow aerodynamic vortex-step method is used for the external 3D flow, where viscosity in 2D is included using computational fluid dynamics. The model finds an equilibrium state when symmetrically actuated. This state represents the reel-in phase of a pumping-cycle motion. During the reel-out phase, the kite flies away from the ground station in a crosswind motion which causes an additional degree of freedom. To resolve the problem, without a flight controller, a uniform circular motion is modelled. This enables the correct apparent wind speed distribution by considering the wind speed, the reel-out speed and the rotational kite speed. The looping radius becomes a function of the wind speed, tether length and actuation setting, enabling the formulation of the first-ever simulated turning law. In comparison to experimentally formulated turning rules, a good agreement shows. Concluding, the particle system model can accurately simulate both aeroelastic and actuation-induced deformation of a soft-wing Airborne Wind Energy kite within seconds.

description: Interferometric detectors will very soon give us an unprecedented view of the gravitational-wave sky, and in particular of the explosive and transient Universe. Now is the time to challenge our theoretical understanding of short-duration gravitational-wave signatures from cataclysmic events, their connection to more traditional electromagnetic and particle astrophysics, and the data analysis techniques that will make the observations a reality. This paper summarizes the state of the art, future science opportunities, and current challenges in understanding gravitational-wave transients.

description: Water is becoming increasingly contaminated with substances considered persistent, mobile and toxic (PMT) or very persistent and very mobile (vPvM). Increasing regulatory action has been introduced to address the substantial impact of such substances, including several per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), melamine and 1,4-dioxane. New hazard classes for PMT/vPvM substances have been proposed for implementation in the European regulation for the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulation). Ultimately, preventing the emissions and exposure of PMT/vPvM substances is the best way to ensure zero pollution from them. The development of PMT/vPvM substances as a hazard class, and pathways to reduce their exposure, will be presented.

description: The statistics of peak counts in reconstructed shear maps contain information beyond the power spectrum, and can improve cosmological constraints from measurements of the power spectrum alone if systematic errors can be controlled. We study the effect of galaxy shape measurement errors on predicted cosmological constraints from the statistics of shear peak counts with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). We use the LSST image simulator in combination with cosmological N-body simulations to model realistic shear maps for different cosmological models. We include both galaxy shape noise and, for the first time, measurement errors on galaxy shapes. We find that the measurement errors considered have relatively little impact on the constraining power of shear peak counts for LSST.

description: We present results of the study of persistent high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in the Milky Way, obtained from the deep INTEGRAL Galactic plane survey. This survey provides us a new insight into the population of high mass X-ray binaries because almost half of the whole sample consists of sources discovered with INTEGRAL. It is demonstrated for the first time that the majority of persistent HMXBs have supergiant companions and their luminosity function steepens somewhere around ~2x10^{36} erg/s. We show that the spatial density distribution of HMXBs correlates well with the star formation rate distribution in the Galaxy. The vertical distribution of HMXBs has a scale-height h~85 pc, that is somewhat larger than the distribution of young stars in the Galaxy. We propose a simple toy model, which adequately describes general properties of HMXBs in which neutron stars accrete a matter from the wind of the its companion (wind-fed NS-HMXBs population). Using the elaborated model we argue that a flaring activity of so-called supergiant fast X-ray transients, the recently recognized sub-sample of HMXBs, is likely related with the magnetic arrest of their accretion.
