description: Gifted and talented programs are a constant fixture within American public schools as most states require their schools to offer this programming across grade levels. As widespread as these gifted and talented programs are, there exists a nationwide equity issue when it comes to which students are more likely to be served in these programs.
description: One of the most common entry points into these programs remains teacher referrals. This qualitative case study examines the perceptions of primary education teachers in a large eastern Washington school district related to the district’s gifted and talented program and the role they play in making referral decisions. Through this study, I sought to understand the following research questions: (1) What factors do primary educators look for when referring students to gifted and talented services? (1a) How do primary educators describe an ideal gifted and talented student? (1b)In what ways do primary educators believe bias to impact the referral of gifted and talented students? (2) How do primary educators view current gifted and talented programs and referral procedures? (2a) How does a primary educators’ views on gifted and talented programs impact their gifted and talented referral decisions? (2b) What benefits or drawbacks do educators see in gifted and talented programs as a whole and at the primary grades? (3) How prepared do primary educators feel they are to accurately identify gifted and talented students?
description: Analysis of the interviews and artifacts collected from the district demonstrated several findings. Despite district and state definitions, there is no shared understanding of giftedness among educators, different behaviors are interpreted very differently depending on a child’s assigned teacher. The inconsistencies present in the national understanding of giftedness are even more amplified amongst those educators asked to make gifted identification decisions. The lack of a shared understanding of giftedness contributes, along with other influences like parental advocacy, to the ongoing reproduction of privilege awarded to our most advantaged students. This study offers implications for policy makers, educational leaders, and researchers and serves as a starting point for conversations on what role gifted and talented education should play in modern equity driven schools.

description: We present measurements of $z \sim 2.4$ ultraviolet background light using Lya absorption from galaxies at $z \sim 2-3$ in the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) database. Thanks to the wide area of this survey, we also measure the variability of this light across the sky. The data suggest an asymmetric geometry where integrated ultraviolet light from background galaxies is absorbed by \ion{H}{1} within the halo of a foreground galaxy, in a configuration similar to damped Lya systems. Using stacking analyses of over 400,000 HETDEX LAE spectra, we argue that this background absorption is detectable in our data. We also argue that the absorption signal becomes negative due to HETDEX's sky subtraction procedure. The amount that the absorption is over-subtracted is representative of the $z \sim 2.4$ UV contribution to the overall extragalactic background light (EBL) at Lya. Using this method, we determine an average intensity (in $νJ_ν$ units) of $12.9 \pm 3.7$ nW m$^{-2}$ sr$^{-1}$ at a median observed wavelength of 4134 angstroms, or a rest-frame UV background intensity of $508 \pm 145$ nW m$^{-2}$ sr$^{-1}$ at $z\sim2.4$. We find that this flux varies significantly depending on the density of galaxies in the field of observation. Our estimates are consistent with direct measurements of the overall EBL.

description: We investigate how magnetic field variations around accreting black holes on event horizon scales affect the morphology of magnetically-driven jet on larger scales. By performing radiative transfer calculations on general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations, we find that temporal variation in the magnetic flux on the event horizon and the jet power are imprinted on the variability of jet width up to several hundred gravitational radii. When the magnetic flux around the black hole drops and then rises, the jet initially narrows or becomes truncated, then widens, creating a thin-thick pattern that propagates down the jet. This suggests that extended jet observations can provide a history record of horizon-scale magnetic field dynamics, and conversely, upcoming changes in the jet image can be predicted from direct observation of the magnetized accreting plasma near the black hole. Furthermore, the pattern of jet width variations shows acceleration up to the relativistic regime as it moves away from the black hole, aligning with plasma bulk motion. We also find in time-averaged images that both the bulk plasma motion and magnetic field configuration in the jet-launching region, which are sensitive to black hole spin, shape diverse features through relativistic beaming and aberration. Higher black hole spins result in more poloidal bulk motion and toroidal magnetic fields, leading to more symmetric jet images and linear polarization patterns. These results suggest a new method for testing the magnetically arrested disk model and the Blandford-Znajek process, and for determining the black hole spin through observations bridging horizon and jet-launching scales.

description: Single-cell experiments revealed substantial variability in generation times, growth rates but also in birth and division sizes between genetically identical cells. Understanding how these fluctuations determine the fitness of the population, i.e. its growth rate, is necessary in any quantitative theory of evolution. Here, we develop a biologically-relevant model which accounts for the stochasticity in single-cell growth rates, birth sizes and division sizes. We derive expressions for the population growth rate and for the mean birth size in the population in terms of the single-cell fluctuations. Allowing division sizes to fluctuate reveals how the mechanism of cell size control (timer, sizer, adder) influences population growth. Surprisingly, we find that fluctuations in single-cell growth rates can be beneficial for population growth when slow-growing cells tend to divide at smaller sizes than fast-growing cells. Our framework is not limited to exponentially-growing cells like $\textit{Escherichia coli}$, and we derive similar expressions for cells with linear and bi-linear growth laws, such as $\textit{Mycobacterium tuberculosis}$ and fission yeast $\textit{Schizosaccharomyces pombe}$, respectively.

Objective Measurement of Non-Technical Skills in Surgery

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

description: Non-technical skills (NTS) are cognitive and interpersonal skills that are relevant to task completion such as situation awareness, decision-making, teamwork, and leadership. NTS in clinical environments, such as surgery, have been identified to contribute to patient safety and team performance, which in turn affects clinical outcomes. Assessment tools of these skills in surgery exist; however, current evaluations are limited in that they require trained raters, are subjective, are time-intensive, and are checklist-based. Therefore, there is a need for objective measurement of NTS that addresses the limitations of the rating-based techniques. The purpose of this Ph.D. dissertation work is to identify physiological and behavioral metrics that measure NTS objectively and investigate the application of objective metrics to measure intraoperative NTS of surgeons. Through a scoping review of engineering, behavioral science, and medical literature, behavioral and physiological metrics that quantified NTS constructs of surgeons were identified. The synthesized literature was used to build a framework integrating objective metrics to NTS constructs. To develop an objective model of surgeons’ NTS, subjective and objective behavioral data of surgeons were collected in the operating room and prediction models were created. Results found that objective metrics such as communication, speech, and proximity features can be used to predict subjective NTS. Furthermore, objective task features (e.g., time and number of incidents during an operation) has the potential to also model subjective NTS, and these task features can be predicted by the behavioral metrics; thus, triangulation is obtained with the three NTS metrics: subjective score, objective behavioral metrics, and task performance metrics. The relationship between the two objective metrics shows the possibility of achieving a fully objective model of surgeons’ NTS. The consolidation of current objective measurement techniques can provide a foundation in further understanding NTS beyond assessments based on observed behaviors, and the developed models can be expanded and implemented for real-time NTS assessment of clinical teams to improve patient care.

Reliability Investigation and Design Improvement of FEMTA Microthruster

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Aerospace engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The advent of nano and micro class satellites has generated new demand for compact and efficient propulsion systems. Traditional propulsion technologies have been miniaturized for the CubeSat platform and new technology solutions have been proposed to address this demand. However, each of these approaches has disadvantages when applied within the context of a CubeSat. One potential low mass and power alternative is Film-Evaporation MEMS Tunable Array (FEMTA) micropropulsion which is capable of generating 150μN of thrust using 0.65W of electrical power and ultra-pure deionized water as propellant. The FEMTA thruster is etched into a 1cm × 1cm × 0.3mm silicon substrate using standard photolithography and microfabrication techniques. Each thruster consists of a 4 μm wide nozzle and platinum resistive heaters. Capillary pressure prevents the water from leaking through the nozzle and the heaters induce film-evaporation at the fluid interface to generate thrust. FEMTA has been in development at Purdue University since 2015 under the NASA SmallSat Technology Partnership Program and is currently on its 5th generation design. While these generations of FEMTA have successfully demonstrated the viability of the propulsion technique under ideal conditions, multiple reliability and performance related issues have been identified. More specifically, high vacuum tests have shown that the current FEMTA design is susceptible to quiescent propellant mass loss due to ice generation and leaking at the nozzle. These mass ejections can limit the lifespan and performance of the thruster and can induce undesired attitude perturbations on the host spacecraft. The purpose of this researchidentify the root causes of the quiescent mass loss mechanims hrough simulation and direct experimentation. Based on the results of these investigations, a next generation design is proposed, fabricated, and tested. Microfabrication was performed at Purdue’s Birck Nanotechnology Center and vacuum and thrust stand tests were performed at the High Vacuum Lab in the Aerospace Sciences Laboratory at Purdue.

description: A novel approach is proposed to reveal a secret birth of enhanced circumstellar material (CSM) surrounding a collapsing massive star using neutrinos as a unique probe. In this scheme, non-thermal TeV-scale neutrinos produced in ejecta-CSM interactions are tied with thermal MeV neutrinos emitted from a pre-explosion burning process, based on a scenario that CSM had been formed via the pre-supernova activity. Taking a representative model of the pre-supernova neutrinos, the spectrum and light curve of the corresponding high-energy CSM neutrinos are calculated at multiple mass-loss efficiencies, which are considered as a systematic uncertainty. In addition, as a part of the method demonstration, the detected event rates along time at JUNO and IceCube, as representative detectors, are estimated for the pre-supernova and CSM neutrinos, respectively, and are compared with the expected background rate at each detector. The presented method is found to be reasonably applicable for the range up to $\sim$1 kpc and even farther with future experimental efforts. The potentialities of other neutrino detectors, such as SK-Gd, Hyper-Kamiokande and KM3NeT, are also discussed. This is a pioneering work of performing astrophysics with neutrinos from diverse energy regimes, initiating multi energy neutrino astronomy in the forthcoming era where next-generation large-scale neutrino telescopes are operating.

description: The conformally invariant scalar equation permits the Robin boundary condition at infinity of asymptotically-AdS spacetimes. We show how the dynamics of conformal cubic scalar field on the Reissner-Nordström-anti-de Sitter background depend on the black hole size, charge, and choice of the boundary condition. We study the whole range of admissible charges, including the extremal case. In particular, we observe the transition in stability of the field for large black holes at the specific critical value of the charge. Similarities between Reissner-Nordström and Kerr black hole let us suspect that a similar effect may also occur in rotating black holes.

description: In this study, we investigated the robustness of Quanvolutional Neural Networks (QuNNs) in comparison to their classical counterparts, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), against two adversarial attacks: Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM) and Projected Gradient Descent (PGD), for the image classification task on both Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) and Fashion-MNIST (FMNIST) datasets. To enhance the robustness of QuNNs, we developed a novel methodology that utilizes three quantum circuit metrics: expressibility, entanglement capability, and controlled rotation gate selection. Our analysis shows that these metrics significantly influence data representation within the Hilbert space, thereby directly affecting QuNN robustness. We rigorously established that circuits with higher expressibility and lower entanglement capability generally exhibit enhanced robustness under adversarial conditions, particularly at low-spectrum perturbation strengths where most attacks occur. Furthermore, our findings challenge the prevailing assumption that expressibility alone dictates circuit robustness; instead, we demonstrate that the inclusion of controlled rotation gates around the Z-axis generally enhances the resilience of QuNNs. Our results demonstrate that QuNNs exhibit up to 60% greater robustness on the MNIST dataset and 40% on the Fashion-MNIST dataset compared to CNNs. Collectively, our work elucidates the relationship between quantum circuit metrics and robust data feature extraction, advancing the field by improving the adversarial robustness of QuNNs.

description: To improve the theoretical understanding of multiquark states like $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$, we calculate the heavy-meson heavy-(anti)meson scattering potential up to next-to-leading order, $O(Q^2)$, within chiral effective field theory ($χ$EFT) employing a power counting scheme that explicitly keeps track with the large momentum scale $Q \sim \sqrt{2μδ}$ (where $δ= m_V - m_P$ is the vector-pseudoscalar mass difference and $μ$ their reduced mass) introduced by the coupled channel dynamics. We provide expressions for the two-pion exchange (TPE) terms up to $O(Q^2)$ and their partial-wave decomposition. We show that these potentials are well-approximated by contact terms at $O(Q^2)$, with minor residual non-analytic TPE contributions, supporting $χ$EFT convergence in the theoretical predictions for $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$, as well as their spin partners. These findings are also relevant for $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ scattering, especially for the $T_{cc}$ state, for both physical and lattice QCD data with moderately larger pion masses. We further demonstrate that the differences between isovector and isoscalar potentials for heavy mesons are naturally explained by the TPE contributions.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy applications for metal-labeled biomolecule detection in paper assays

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Biomechanical engineering

description: This doctoral thesis investigates the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for detection of labeled biomolecules on nitrocellulose paper. Nitrocellulose paper is a material often used for assays involving the concentration and labeling of a target analyte, followed by label detection. Among paper-based diagnostics are lateral-flow immuno-assays (LFIAs). Research efforts have made LFIAs into accessible, portable,and low-cost tools for detecting targets such as allergens, toxins,and microbes in food and water.Gold (Au) nanoparticles are standard biomolecular labels among LFIAs, typically detected via colorimetric means.Other labels, such as quantum dots, are also often metallic, and research is ongoing to expand the number of portable instrumentations applied to their detection. A wide diversity of lanthanide-complexed polymers (LCPs) are used as immunoassay labels but have been inapt for portable paper-based assays owing to lab-bound detection instrumentation, until now. LIBS is a multi-element characterization technique which has recently developed from a bench-top to a portable/hand-held analytical tool. This is among the first studies to show that LCPs can be considered as options for biomolecule labels in paper-based assays using bench-based and hand-held LIBS as label detection modalities.Chapter one reviews the importance of rapid, multiplexed detection of chemical and biological contaminants, the application of current biosensors, and the role of LIBS as an emerging biosensor. Paper-based bioassays were identified as a promising approach for contaminant detection whose capabilities could be enhanced by LIBS. The next chapter dives into LIBS system designs to address which LIBS parameters were appropriate for label detection on paper assay material. A balance of LIBS parameters was found to be important for successful analyte detection. Chaptert hree optimizes a LIBS design for sensitive detection of 17 metals and establishes limit of detection values for 7 metals. Optimal detection parameters depended on the metal being detected and were applied to the objective of the final chapter: LIBS detection of labeled antigen immobilized on a paper-based assay. Both antibody and bacteria detection assays were successfully performed and analyzed using bench top and portable LIBS,suggesting an exciting future for the use of LIBS as a biosensor.The prospect of using LIBS for multiplexed, rapid and sensitive detection of biomolecules in assays is explored, laying grounds for future work in the ever-relevant field of biological and chemical hazard detection.

description: A standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) analysis with dimension-six operators probing nonresonant new physics effects is performed in the Higgs-strahlung process, where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a W or Z boson, in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The final states in which the W or Z boson decays leptonically and the Higgs boson decays to a pair of bottom quarks are considered. The analyzed data were collected by the CMS experiment between 2016 and 2018 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. An approach designed to simultaneously optimize the sensitivity to Wilson coefficients of multiple SMEFT operators is employed. Likelihood scans as functions of the Wilson coefficients that carry SMEFT sensitivity in this final state are performed for different expansions in SMEFT. The results are consistent with the predictions of the standard model.

Engineering design

description: Space habitats will involve a complex and tightly coupled combination of hardware, software, and humans, while operating in challenging environments that pose many risks, both known and unknown. It will not be possible to design habitats that are immune to failure, nor will it be possible to foresee all possible failures. Rather than aiming for designs where “failure is not an option”, habitats must be resilient to disruptions. We propose a control-theoretic approach to resilient design for space habitats based on the concept of safety controls from system safety engineering. We model disruptions using a state and trigger model, where the space habitat is in one of three distinct states at each time instance: nominal, hazardous, or accident. The habitat transitions from a nominal state to hazardous states via disruptions, and further to hazardous and accident states via triggers. We develop an approach for identifying safety controls that considers these disruptions, hazardous states, and identifies control principles and their possible control flaws. We use safety controls as ways of preventing a system from entering or remaining in a hazardous or accident state. We develop a safety control option space for the habitat, from which designers can select the set of safety controls that best meet resilience, performance, and other system goals. We show how our approach for identifying safety controls drives our control-theoretic approach for resilient design, and how that fits into the larger system safety engineering process. To identify and assess hazards, we use a database and create a network format that stores the relationships between different disruptions and hazardous states for an example space habitat. We use this database in combination with traditional hazard assessment techniques to prioritize control of possible disruptions and hazardous states. To mitigate hazards, we develop a safety control option space that contains safety controls that either prevent transition to hazardous states or return the habitat to a nominal state. We use generic safety controls, or the principle of control, to generate new safety controls as our set of disruptions and hazardous states grows, and store these in the database. Lastly, we evaluate our mitigation techniques using our control effectiveness metric, a metric intended to assess how well a safety control addresses the hazardous state or disruption that it is designed for. Our control-theoretic approach is one way in which we can complete the system safety engineering process for a space habitat system and can provide design guidance for the development of resilient space habitats.
An Applied Anthropology of Electronic Waste in Central Australia
Creators: name: Singer, Gideon A
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Anthropology not elsewhere classified

description: As an applied anthropology study of electronic waste (e-waste) in the remote town of Alice Springs, this dissertation chronicles how e-waste is understood and managed in the arid interior of Australia. What is electronic waste? ‘Electronic’ refers to the presence and movement of electricity throughout an object so that it may perform some expected function. Waste, however, defies simple definition. Waste usually refers to something that has been discarded due to being unwanted or unusable.

 This dissertation traces and tracks the boundaries of e-waste in Central Australia using ethnographic methods, anthropological theories of waste, and digital garbology. Digital garbology, a synthesis of digital anthropology and garbology, helps to identify and recommend strategies for confronting uneven, and often unjust, distributions of e-waste. Rather than focusing solely on discarded consumer electronics, this dissertation takes a critical look into the different types of waste emerging from the production, use, maintenance, and discard of electronics.
 Over the course of thirteen months of fieldwork in Alice Springs, it became clear that the label e-waste is not consistently applied to discarded electronics. E-waste is often discarded in out-of-sight locations such as landfills, recycling centers, and illegal dumping grounds. Before being discarded, however, unused electronics are often stored inside homes, sheds, and other living spaces. Rather than simply focusing on electronic objects that have already been thrown away, this dissertation explores how and why some electronics seem to resist being labeled as e-waste.
 Why Alice Springs? The management of e-waste in Australia has focused on the recovery of valuable metals from the recycling of televisions, computers, and mobile phones at the expense of other discarded electronics such as solar panels and household appliances. And yet, the closest e-waste recycling facility to Alice Springs is over 1,500 kilometres (900 miles) away in Adelaide, South Australia. The remoteness of Alice Springs reduces the ecological benefits of recycling. However, it also creates room to discuss the viability of alternative e-waste management strategies such as reuse and repair.
Dispersive Quantum Interface With Atoms And Nanophotonic Waveguides

description: Strong coupling between atoms and light is critical for quantum information processing and precise sensing. A nanophotonic waveguide is a promising platform for realizing an atom-light interface that reaches the strong coupling regime. In this dissertation, we study the dispersive response theory of the nanowaveguide system as the means to create an entangling atom-light interface, with applications to quantum non-demolition (QND) measurement and spin squeezing.

We calculate the dyadic Green's function, which determines the scattering of light by atoms in the presence of a nanowaveguide, and thus the phase shift and polarization rotation induced on the guided light. The Green's function is related to the full Heisenberg-Langevin treatment of the dispersive response of the quantized field to tensor polarizable atoms. Using the Green's tensors, we calculate the modified spontaneous emission rates for classical dipoles and quantum alkali atoms.

We model QND measurement and spin squeezing using first-principles stochastic master equations. Based on the birefringence effect, we propose a spin squeezing protocol for the spins encoded in the clock transition of cesium-133. We generalize the concept of cooperativity, which is determined by the ratio between the measurement strength and the decoherence rate in the context of the dispersive waveguide interface. By maximizing the cooperativity per atom, we find the optimal choice of quantization axis that defines the clock states. With this, we predict a peak squeezing of 4.7 dB with 2500 atoms trapped along a realistic nanofiber.

To enhance the squeezing and for applications in magnetometry, we propose a protocol based on the Faraday effect for a nanofiber and a square waveguide. Counterintuitively, by placing the atoms at an azimuthal position where the guided probe mode has the lowest intensity, we increase the cooperativity.  This arises because the measurement strength depends on the interference between the probe and scattered light into an orthogonal mode, while the decoherence rate depends on the local intensity of the probe. We find 6.3  dB and 13 dB of peak squeezing for the nanofiber and the square waveguide, respectively, with 2500 atoms.

description: Land based sources of nutrient loads impact the health and resilience of the Australian Great Barrier Reef, however, the current methods used to quantify and prioritise nutrient reduction to the reef need improvement to increase certainty in estimates of Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen (DIN) from ungauged catchments. Catchment Scale Water Quality Models are currently the primary tools used to quantify the influence of landscapes towards receiving waters and are effective for communication of the influences of the landscape and its management towards the Great Barrier Reef. The design and development of these models rely on extensive observed water quality data for development and calibration of the models, however, the collection of the data are both expensive and not possible in all areas. This PhD project has developed new knowledge in simulating DIN from ungauged catchments, to overcome the challenge and knowledge gaps associated with data voids that afflict water quality modelling. Research herein has coupled catchment classification, a method demonstrated by existing the literature to effectively overcome data voids for flows, with Artificial Intelligence pattern matching and techniques to identify corroborating catchment matches for both DIN patterns and spatial data. Additionally, this research, for the first time, has used spatial datasets for Original Vegetation, as a proxy dataset to the drivers of DIN. This research has found that the Original Vegetation data represents the variability in biological response to the drivers of heterogeneity in DIN patterns across the landscape. Explainable artificial intelligence approaches were then developed to identify landscape features most influential in the classification results. Development of these methods ultimately facilitated satisfactory simulation of DIN for a pseudo ungauged catchment as well as identifying catchments that are unsuitable to share data and others that need prioritisation for future gauging programs. Together, these approaches have enabled the development of knowledge to classify ungauged catchments of the Great Barrier Reef using spatial data as a proxy for absence of observed DIN data. The findings of this doctoral study have provided new insights into water quality modelling and the selection of catchments as well as classifying the catchments and performing DIN simulations.

description: Complex Langevin (CL) is a computational method to circumvent the numerical sign problem with applications in finite-density quantum chromodynamics and the real-time dynamics of quantum field theories. It has long been known that, depending on the simulated system, CL does not always converge correctly. In this work, we provide numerical evidence that the success or failure of the complex Langevin method is deeply tied to the Lefschetz thimble structure of the simulated system. This is demonstrated by constructing weight function regularizations that deform the thimbles of systems with compact domains. Our results indicate that CL converges correctly when the regularized system exhibits a single relevant compact thimble. We introduce a bias correction to retrieve the values of the original theory for parameter sets where a direct complex Langevin approach fails. The effectiveness of this method is illustrated using several toy models, including the cosine model and the SU(2) and SU(3) Polyakov chains. Finally, we discuss the opportunities and limitations of this regularization approach for lattice field theories.
