Analysis of a caliche stiffened pile foundation
Creators: name: Stone, Richard C.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: Cemented carbonate deposits (known locally as "caliche") in Las Vegas have been used to support shallow and deep foundations with relatively high bearing pressures compared to soil. Most high rise structures in Las Vegas are founded on either a large mat or a long pile foundation. Recently, a new foundation type consisting of a short pile system bonded to shallow cemented layers was utilized for a large high rise building in Las Vegas and settlements during construction were recorded. The bonding of caliche layers together with short piles forms a caliche stiffened pile (CSP) foundation. The CSP foundation is unique since it derives stiffness from both piles and near surface caliche layers. This type of foundation is a new concept for building support, so this research formulates a method of analysis for the CSP foundation, and compares predicted to measured foundation settlement. The performance of the CSP foundation is also compared to a conventional pile foundation. The settlement behavior of a spread footing, single pile and 4 pile group in a layered soil-caliche profile has been studied using both 2D and 3D finite element models. The results indicate that the presence of a thin layer of high elastic modulus in a soil profile has a significant settlement reducing effect. Regarding a pile group in this profile, the settlement reducing effect due to the presence of caliche layers in a soil profile is greatest when stiff layers are present at both the top and below the pile tip. For a single pile in a caliche stiffened profile, the presence of the upper caliche layer causes an increase in the vertical stress adjacent to the pile due to the plate or beam effect. The analysis of a caliche stiffened pile (CSP) foundation system affects the load distribution and results in a more uniform stress distribution at the base of the lower caliche layer compared to a pile foundation in soil. The load distribution of a full scale pile load test in a soil/caliche profile was accurately predicted using both 2D and 3D finite element models. A case study building foundation was modeled using 2D and 3D models, and predicted settlements are compared to measured data. An analysis of the case study foundation indicates that increasing the pile length by 100 percent reduces the settlement by only 10 percent. Predictions of excess pore pressures and tensile stress in the caliche layer below pile tips were similar for both the 2D and 3D models. The settlement distribution along the building length including the building ends was reasonably predicted by the 3D model, but the model over predicted settlements where the upper caliche layer was thickest. The research indicates that the simpler 2D plane strain model can provide a reasonable initial prediction of settlement but limited information regarding anticipated differential settlements. Based on this research effort, guidelines for design of a CSP foundation are presented.

description: We investigate the graphene-impurity interaction problem by combining experimental - scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) - and theoretical - Anderson impurity model and density functional theory (DFT) calculations - techniques. We use graphene on the SiC(000-1)(2x2)_C reconstruction as a model system. The SiC substrate reconstruction is based on silicon adatoms. Graphene mainly interacts with the dangling bonds of these adatoms which act as impurities. Graphene grown on SiC(000-1)(2x2)_C shows domains with various orientations relative to the substrate so that very different local graphene/Si adatom stacking configurations can be probed on a given grain. The position and width of the adatom (impurity) state can be analyzed by STM/STS and related to its local environment owing to the high bias electronic transparency of graphene. The experimental results are compared to Anderson's model predictions and complemented by DFT calculations for some specific local environments. We conclude that the adatom resonance shows a smaller width and a larger shift toward the Dirac point for an adatom at the center of a graphene hexagon than for an adatom just on top of a C graphene atom.

description: We show that, for the scalar field cosmology with exponential potential, the set of values of the coupling parameter for which the solutions undergo a transient period of acceleration is much larger than the set discussed in the literature. The gradual inclusion of ordinary and dark matters results in an everywhere, but near the origin, smoother and right shifted (along the time axis) acceleration curve. For the 3-fluid problem, the energy density need not exhibit a plateau during the acceleration period. Much excess in the dark matter and/or ordinary matter energy densities would lead the universe to undergo an eternal deceleration expansion. For the 3-fluid problem with a single exponential potential we conclude that the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraint is not fulfilled if the universe is to undergo a transient period of acceleration. The 3-fluid model remains a good approximation for the description of large scale structures.

description: By Bernoulli's law, an increase in the relative speed of a fluid around a body is accompanies by a decrease in the pressure. Therefore, a rotating body in a fluid stream experiences a force perpendicular to the motion of the fluid because of the unequal relative speed of the fluid across its surface. It is well known that light has a constant speed irrespective of the relative motion. Does a rotating body immersed in a stream of photons experience a Bernoulli-like force? We show that, indeed, a rotating dielectric cylinder experiences such a lateral force from an electromagnetic wave. In fact, the sign of the lateral force is the same as that of the fluid-mechanical analogue as long as the electric susceptibility is positive (ε>ε_{0}), but for negative-susceptibility materials (e.g. metals) we show that the lateral force is in the opposite direction. Because these results are derived from a classical electromagnetic scattering problem, Mie-resonance enhancements that occur in other scattering phenomena also enhance the lateral force.

description:
In six months Wyce has learned almost nothing about the research compound that has become his prison. That there are mages amongst his captors can only mean that someone within the Magister's Council endorses this facility, but while this fact disturbs him deeply as a student of magic himself, it leads him no closer to understanding. His reality has become a waking nightmare, and over time constant experimentation and abuse degrade even his natural curiosity. He fights an impending sense of complacency, internally outraged at his failure to act in his own interest, constantly reminded that because of his spell stutter - a magical disability - he is less of a threat to the soldiers that guard him than a well-educated child. When the woman in the cell next to his proposes an escape Wyce pledges his loyalty and assistance in spite of her refusal to share the details of her plan. Escaping seems to be the only thing that matters, but in the full course of time Wyce must realize that there are always other considerations. The chapters herein form the opening to a novel-in-progress that imagines a world where modern science forges magic instead of machines; where commercialism is rampant and apathy is a default state of being. The novel follows Wyce and Reina in their escape from the compound until their status as wanted criminals finally lands them in the hands of a young fortune hunter named Spades, whose decision not to hand the two over to authorities forces him into taking a stand on issues that he's made a career out of avoiding. How to navigate the growing tide of modernity is a question that speaks to all of us, and the struggle of these three companions to do just that is a story for all of us.

description: The static part of the heavy quark potential has been shown to be closely related to the spectrum of the rectangular Wilson loop. In particular the lowest lying positive frequency peak encodes the late time evolution of the two-body system, characterized by a complex potential. While initial studies assumed a perfect separation of early and late time physics, where a simple Lorentian (Breit-Wigner) shape suffices to describe the spectral peak, we argue that scale decoupling in general is not complete. Thus early time, i.e. non-potential effects, significantly modify the shape of the lowest peak. We derive on general grounds an improved peak distribution that reflects this fact. Application of the improved fit to non-perturbative lattice QCD spectra now yields a potential that is compatible with a transition to a deconfined screening plasma.

We constrain some physical properties of the X-ray emitting areas, i.e. the temperatures (Tpole1 ~ 105eV, Tpole2 ~99eV), magnetic field strengths Bpole1 ~ Bpole2 ~ 8.6x10^13G) at the poles, and their distribution parameters (a1 ~ 0.61, a2 ~ 0.29, indicating an absence of strong toroidal magnetic field component). In addition, we are able to place some constraints on the geometry of the emerging X-ray emission and the gravitational redshift (z ~0.16+0.03-0.01) of the isolated neutron star RBS 1223.

description: The aims were to evaluate the evolution of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the 2012/22 decade and the influence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The study was carried out through retrospective analysis in an outpatient laboratory database. A total of 10,527 glycated hemoglobin (HBA1c) results corresponding to different users were analyzed retrospectively at three different times: 2012/13, 2017/18, and 2021/22. We determined the percentage of DM in these biennia and then the evolution of HBA1c levels of the diabetics themselves. By the World Health Organization (WHO) standards, in 2012/13, 2017/18, and 2021/22, 39.2%, 30.5% and 31.4% of the users of this laboratory had DM, respectively. The median (P25-P75) HbA1c decreased over the decade (p < 0.001): 7.7% (7.0-8.8) in 2012/13, 7.4% (6.8-8.3) in 2017/18, and 7.3% (6.8-8.2) in 2021/22. However, there were no statistically significant differences between 2017/18 and 2021/22 (p = 1.00). The same trend was observed for individuals older than 45 years (p < 0.001), but not for individuals between 18 and 44 years old (p = 0.339). There were no statistically significant differences (p = 0.374) between female and male individuals. The overall decrease in HbA1c levels since 2012/13 seems to indicate better disease management of individuals with DM. It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic and all its health and social consequences have negatively affected the downward trend in HbA1c levels. More studies are needed to assess the long-term public health impact of COVID-19, particularly regarding DM and other non-communicable chronic diseases.

description: We give a construction of the stress-energy tensor of conformal field theory (CFT) as a local "object" in conformal loop ensembles CLE_κ, for all values of κin the dilute regime 8/3 < κ<= 4 (corresponding to the central charges 0 < c <= 1, and including all CFT minimal models). We provide a quick introduction to CLE, a mathematical theory for random loops in simply connected domains with properties of conformal invariance, developed by Sheffield and Werner (2006). We consider its extension to more general regions of definition, and make various hypotheses that are needed for our construction and expected to hold for CLE in the dilute regime. Using this, we identify the stress-energy tensor in the context of CLE. This is done by deriving its associated conformal Ward identities for single insertions in CLE probability functions, along with the appropriate boundary conditions on simply connected domains; its properties under conformal maps, involving the Schwarzian derivative; and its one-point average in terms of the "relative partition function." Part of the construction is in the same spirit as, but widely generalizes, that found in the context of SLE_{8/3} by the author, Riva and Cardy (2006), which only dealt with the case of zero central charge in simply connected hyperbolic regions. We do not use the explicit construction of the CLE probability measure, but only its defining and expected general properties.

description: We study the adaptation dynamics of a maladapted asexual population on rugged fitness landscapes with many local fitness peaks. The distribution of beneficial fitness effects is assumed to belong to one of the three extreme value domains, viz. Weibull, Gumbel and Fr{é}chet. We work in the strong selection-weak mutation regime in which beneficial mutations fix sequentially, and the population performs an uphill walk on the fitness landscape until a local fitness peak is reached. A striking prediction of our analysis is that the fitness difference between successive steps follows a pattern of diminishing returns in the Weibull domain and accelerating returns in the Fr{é}chet domain, as the initial fitness of the population is increased. These trends are found to be robust with respect to fitness correlations. We believe that this result can be exploited in experiments to determine the extreme value domain of the distribution of beneficial fitness effects. Our work here differs significantly from the previous ones that assume the selection coefficient to be small. On taking large effect mutations into account, we find that the length of the walk shows different qualitative trends from those derived using small selection coefficient approximation.

Provenance of the Miocene-Pliocene Muddy Creek Formation near Mesquite, Nevada
Creators: name: Forrester, Steven Wayne
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2009

description: The provenance, stratigraphy, and depositional history of the Miocene-Pliocene Muddy Creek Formation (MCF) in southern Nevada are poorly studied and poorly constrained. Previous studies of the MCF have concluded that the formation consists of lacustrine, eolian, and fluvial deposits. Currently the age of deposition is loosely constrained between 8.5 and 4.1 Ma. This study documents the evolution of one portion of the eastern extent of the MCF and determines its provenance and depositional history at Flat Top and Mormon Mesas in Nevada; and near Beaver Dam and Littlefield, Arizona.

This study intended to determine whether the MCF was deposited by a paleo-Colorado River that flowed through the Virgin River Gorge and into the Mesquite basin prior to ~5.5 Ma. Methods used in this study included petrographic analyses, detrital zircon analyses, facies analyses, paleocurrent indicators, and conglomerate clast counts. Detrital zircons from the MCF, a Pliocene unit near Littlefield, Arizona, and modern day Virgin River were compared to previously analyzed zircons from the Bidahochi Formation and known Colorado River zircons.

Results from the MCF in the Beaver Dam Wash and at Flat Top Mesa indicate paleotransport was to the south-southeast and south-southwest respectively and in an inset Pliocene unit near Littlefield, Arizona paleotransport was to the south-southwest. Based upon sedimentological data the MCF within the study area was deposited in a fluvial environment. Conglomerate clasts and sandstone petrography from the MCF at Mormon Mesa indicate mixed volcanic, metamorphic, and sedimentary sources for the sediment which is dissimilar to deposits at Flat Top Mesa and Beaver Dam Wash which were derived from a volcanic source. The provenance data indicate the MCF at Flat Top Mesa and Beaver Dam Wash were derived from the Caliente Caldera complex, while the deposits at Mormon Mesa were derived from both the Caliente Caldera complex and the Colorado Plateau, which was deposited by a paleo-Virgin River. Results from an inset Pliocene unit in the Beaver Dam Wash indicate this unit was derived from the Caliente Caldera complex. In contrast, results from an inset Pliocene unit near Littlefield, Arizona indicate it was derived from the Colorado Plateau and deposited by a paleo-Virgin River. Despite the MCF at Mormon Mesa having a partial Colorado Plateau provenance results are consistent with previous models that indicated that neither the younger units nor the portions of the MCF that were studied were deposited by a paleo-Colorado River.

Output Filter Aware Optimization of the Noise Shaping Properties of ΔΣ Modulators via Semi-Definite Programming
Creators: name: Callegari, Sergio

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The Noise Transfer Function (NTF) of ΔΣ modulators is typically designed after the features of the input signal. We suggest that in many applications, and notably those involving D/D and D/A conversion or actuation, the NTF should instead be shaped after the properties of the output/reconstruction filter. To this aim, we propose a framework for optimal design based on the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) lemma and semi-definite programming. Some examples illustrate how in practical cases the proposed strategy can outperform more standard approaches.

description: We study worldsheet instanton corrections to the exotic 522-brane geometry in type II string theory. The BPS vortices in the N=(4,4) gauged linear sigma model modify the geometry of the 522-brane. We find that the modification of the geometry is understood by the localization in the T-dualized winding direction.

description: We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of Co-based boride superconductor LaCo1.73Fe0.27B2 (Tc = 4.1 K), which is isostructural to the 122-type Fe-pnictide superconductor with the pnictogen atom being replaced with boron. We found that the Fermi level is located at a dip in the density of states (DOS) in contrast to Co-pnictide ferromagnets. This reduction in DOS together with the strong Co 3d-B 2p covalent bonding removes the ferromagnetic order and may cause the superconductivity. The energy bands near the Fermi level show higher three dimensionality and a weaker electron-correlation effect than those of Fe pnictides. The Fermi surface topology is considerably different from that of Fe pnictides, suggesting the difference in the superconducting mechanism between boride and pnictide superconductors.

title: Deserving of trust: ethics in the American Archival profession
Creators: name: Thompson, Rachel Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2011

description:
This thesis explores ways in which the American archival profession, through the Society of American Archivists (SAA), can promote the trustworthiness of archives and archivists. The further professionalization, which involves the creation of a cohesive organization, standards, and a code of ethics, of the archival field is one proposed starting point. Currently, SAA is already on the path of professionalization. For some occupations, professionalization also includes the enforcement of standards and ethics, as well as the certification of members. I argue that for the American archival profession, however, these are not the paths to take. Enforcement and certification require infrastructure and social power that SAA simply does not possess. Enforcement is also problematic, as situations are never black and white, and decisions can never be guaranteed to be impartial and unbiased. This thesis also argues that SAA should create an online ethics resource and support center to assist members faced with quandaries about ethics, as part of a continuing process of reflection and debate about ethics within the profession. This reflection and debate will encourage "ethical being" and thinking in members. It is this "ethical being" that will make archivists and, by extension, archives deserving of trust.
