description: We realize the first Zeeman slower of an atom in the Main Group III of the periodic table, otherwise known as the "triel elements". Despite that our atom of choice (namely indium) does not have a ground state cycling transition suitable for laser cooling, slowing is achieved by driving the transition $\lvert 5P_{3/2},F=6 \rangle \rightarrow \lvert 5D_{5/2},F=7 \rangle$, where the lower-energy state is metastable. Using a slower based on permanent magnets in a transverse-field configuration, we observe a bright slowed atomic beam at our design goal velocity of 70 m/s. The techniques presented here can straightforwardly extend to other triel atoms such as thallium, aluminum, and gallium. Furthermore, this work opens the possibility of cooling Group III atoms to ultracold temperatures.

description: We present K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) observations of 18 Red Supergiant (RSG) stars in the Sculptor Group galaxy NGC 55. Radial velocities are calculated and are shown to be in good agreement with previous estimates, confirming the supergiant nature of the targets and providing the first spectroscopically confirmed RSGs in NGC 55. Stellar parameters are estimated for 14 targets using the $J$-band analysis technique, making use of state-of-the-art stellar model atmospheres. The metallicities estimated confirm the low-metallicity nature of NGC 55, in good agreement with previous studies. This study provides an independent estimate of the metallicity gradient of NGC 55, in excellent agreement with recent results published using hot massive stars. In addition, we calculate luminosities of our targets and compare their distribution of effective temperatures and luminosities to other RSGs, in different environments, estimated using the same technique.

description: Since the discovery of superconductivity at 200 K in H3S [1] similar or higher transition temperatures, Tcs, have been reported for various hydrogen-rich compounds under ultra-high pressures [2]. Superconductivity was experimentally proved by different methods, including electrical resistance, magnetic susceptibility, optical infrared, and nuclear resonant scattering measurements. The crystal structures of superconducting phases were determined by X-ray diffraction. Numerous electrical transport measurements demonstrate the typical behaviour of a conventional phonon-mediated superconductor: zero resistance below Tc, the shift of Tc to lower temperatures under external magnetic fields, and pronounced isotope effect. Remarkably, the results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions, which describe superconductivity in hydrides within the framework of the conventional BCS theory. However, despite this acknowledgment, experimental evidence for the superconducting state in these compounds has recently been treated with criticism [3, 4], which apparently stems from misunderstanding and misinterpretation of complicated experiments performed under very high pressures. Here, we describe in greater detail the experiments revealing high-temperature superconductivity in hydrides under high pressures. We show that the arguments against superconductivity [3, 4] can be either refuted or explained. The experiments on the high-temperature superconductivity in hydrides clearly contradict the theory of hole superconductivity [4] and eliminate it [3].
Computational modeling for chemical toxicity assessment in the big data era: combining data- driven profiling and mechanism-driven read-across
Creators: name: Zhao, Linlin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Chemical toxicity assessment is important to public health since numerous chemicals are being used daily and the chemical exposed to human beings may cause potential toxic effects. Traditional methods for toxicity test of chemicals, such as standard rodent models, are expensive and time consuming. Along with the vibrant and rapid progress of chemical synthesis and biological screening technologies (e.g. high-throughput screening), immense in vitro toxicity data are generated daily and most of these data are available to the public through various data sharing project. The enormous toxicity data possess the intrinsic “five Vs” characteristics of big data (i.e. volume, velocity, variety, veracity and value), and moved traditional toxicology into a “big data” era. However, the relevance between these fast accumulating in vitro toxicity data with the immediate human toxicity effect is obscure. Computational modeling, originally as an alternative method to animal models, showed promising ability to bridge the public toxicity big data to potential chemical toxicity effects in human beings. Thus, it is necessary to develop novel computational models to answer the challenges brought by big data. In this dissertation, new computational models and associated modeling approaches were described for toxicity assessments of chemicals using public big data. First, a method for the identification of uncertainty in the training data used for quantitative structure−activity relationship (QSAR) modeling was developed, which addressed potential issues relevant to veracity of toxicity data. Second, a hybrid read-across method was developed, which focused on handling the data obtained from various resources (i.e. the variety of toxicity big data). A hybrid read-across study, which were based on the combination of chemical descriptors and biological data, showed better predictivity than traditional read-across results that were based on chemical similarity. Last, novel mechanism- driven read-across approach was developed specifically for chemical hepatotoxicity evaluations. A virtual adverse outcome pathway (vAOP) modeling tool were developed and validated using a large hepatotoxicity database. This read-across study showed promising applicability to the prediction of new compounds for their hepatotoxicity and answered the current five Vs challenges of toxicity big data.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Connecticut River historically represented the southernmost extent of the North American range of Atlantic salmon, but the native population was extirpated 200 years ago by dam construction. An extensive restoration effort has relied upon stock transfers from more northerly rivers, especially the Penobscot River (Maine). Long-term success depends on the donor stocks adapting to the new river. Recent genetic work has shown differences between donor and derivative populations but life history traits have not been quantitatively compared. Here we focus on the timing of the adult migration. Based on data from other salmon stocks we expect that many native salmon migrated in March/April compared to May/June in more northerly stocks. We examined 23 years of migration timing data collected at two capture locations in the Connecticut drainage and found that both date of first capture and median capture date shifted significantly earlier by about 0.5 days/year. In order to conclude whether this is an adaptive change or a coast-wide effect we also quantified changes in migration timing of more northerly stocks (in Maine and Canada). We found a latitudinal pattern in the average return dates as well as coherent patterns in the shift towards earlier peak migration dates across systems. We suggest that these consistent shifts may be related to coast-wide changes in temperature and flow, and may represent a response to global climate change.

description: The possible disruption of a microtubule during mitosis can control the duplication of a cancer cell. Cancer detection and treatment may be possible based on the detection and control of microtubule mechanical oscillations in cells through external fields (e.g. electromagnetic or ultrasound). However, little is known about the dynamic (high-frequency) mechanical properties of microtubules. Here we propose to control the vibrations of a doubly clamped microtubule by tip electrodes and to detect its motion via the optomechanical coupling between the vibrational modes of the microtubule and an optical cavity. In the presence of a red-detuned strong pump laser, this coupling leads to optomechanical induced transparency of an optical probe field, which can be detected with state-of the art technology. The center frequency and linewidth of the transparency peak give the resonance frequency and damping rate of the microtubule respectively, while the height of the peak reveals information about the microtubule-cavity field coupling. Our method should yield new knowledge about the physical properties of microtubules, which will enhance our capability to design physical cancer treatment protocols as alternatives to chemotherapeutic drugs.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Atlantic salmon Salmo salar populations at the edge of the species distribution are the most vulnerable to environmental changes. Those inhabiting southern European rivers are expected to be particularly affected by global warming. However, they are exploited as a very valuable resource for the region, attracting tourism and generating high incomes. In the central part of northern Spain (Asturias) there is a long tradition of sport fisheries (angling). The first salmon caught in a river each year is called “campanu' and is highly prized in a public auction. Analysis of a 50-year time series demonstrates that the main Asturian populations of Atlantic salmon have declined significantly. Their run timing has changed over the last 20 years as inferred from significant delays in the date of capture of the campanu. This change is statistically associated with an increase in temperature indices and is independent of the annual start date of the fishery. Such a disturbance in the life history timing of a species due to global change can be considered a warning signal of future asynchrony in the freshwater ecosystems where this anadromous species is present.

Understanding police use of force in New Jersey: do civilian demographics influence police behavior?
Creators: name: Aaronson, Ethan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: In recent years, there has been increased scrutiny around the ways police officers use physical force while carrying out their duties. Though it is often necessary for officers to use force during arrests, there have also been innumerable cases of officers going beyond their mandate and inflicting unreasonable amounts of violence on civilians. In 2017, NJ Advance Media produced a groundbreaking report detailing the way New Jersey police officers use force while on the job. This paper will use the Force Report and other data to test for relationships between demographic factors and uses of force by police. Using multivariate regression analyses and GIS mapping software, the relationships between rate of use of force and race, income, education, political affiliation, and violent crime rate will be quantified and visually displayed for over 400 New Jersey municipalities. Using these methods, strong relationships between income, violent crime rate, and the use of force rate were found. The other independent variables had weaker relationships with the use of force rate.

description: In this theoretical manuscript I propose a scheme for entangling a single electron semiconductor spin qubit with a single electron semiconductor charge qubit in a triangular triple quantum dot configuration. Two out of three quantum dots are used to define a single electron semiconductor charge qubit. Furthermore, the spin qubit is embedded in the Zeeman sub-levels of the third quantum dot. Combining single qubit gates with entangling CNOT gates allows one to construct a SWAP gate, and therefore to use the semiconductor spin qubit as a long-lived memory for the semiconductor charge qubit.

This grading gives rise to Pauli matrices and is a far generalization of $(\mathbb Z_2\times \mathbb Z_2)$-grading on Lie algebra of $(2\times 2)$-traceless matrices.We use this grading for studying numerical invariants of polyomial identities of Lie superalgebras. In particular, we compute graded PI-exponent corresponding to Pauli grading.
Materials in Participatory Design Processes

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Human-Computer Interaction (cs.HC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This dissertation presents three years of academic inquiry into the question of what role materials play in interaction design and participatory design processes. The dissertation aims at developing conceptual tools, based on Deweys pragmatism, for understanding how materials aid design reflection. It has been developed using a research-through-design approach in which the author has conducted practical design work in order to investigate and experiment with using materials to scaffold design inquiry. The results of the PhD work is submitted as seven separate papers, submitted to esteemed journals and conferences within the field of interaction design and HCI. The work is motivated both by the growing interest in materials in interaction design and HCI and the interest in design processes and collaboration within those fields. At the core of the dissertation lies an interest in the many different materials used during the design process: sketches, prototypes as well as the materials we shape products out of: physical and digital materials now form a unity of computation and physical materials that has given rise to a new research interest in design and materiality. The main results from the dissertation are an understanding of design materials that draws on pragmatist philosophy. The papers and overview article highlights how materials in a pragmatist perspective are more than the matter out of which we shape an idea. Rather they structure the entire process of inquiry, helping us frame problems, inspire solutions and try out these solutions in practice. This framework, developed in several of the submitted papers, is tested and illustrated through a series of experimental design cases.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The River Oir is a small tributary of the Sélune (Armorican massif) and is used as a spawning area by the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L). Since 1985, the population dynamics of its salmon population have been studied from a data set regarding parr density, number and age structure of migrating fish (smolts and adults). Parr densities (1.5 to 17.4 fish/100 m² of suitable habitat) and smolt production (0.25 à 9.2 fish/100 m²) fall within the range of values of other nearby rivers but vary strongly according to the year and to the cohort. These fluctuations of abundance are linked to the number and to the size of spawners (with a strong decrease of multi-sea winter fish) and to the possibility for the adults to reach the best spawning grounds, depending on discharge conditions

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The status of twaite shad in German and adjacent waters of the Baltic Sea was investigated based on the analysis of ichthyological museum collections, historical commercial catch statistics, recent catch records from commercial and recreational fishery and research hauls with different trawls from August 2003 to July 2004. 42 % of the historical records of twaite shad were estimated in subdivisions 24, whereas 21 % were registered in subdivision 26. A. fallax was mainly distributed within the areas of Pommeranian Bay and Pommeranian coast, Szczecin Lagoon, Bay of Gdańsk, Vistula Spit, Vistula Lagoon, Kuršiu Spit and Kuršiu Lagoon. Twaite shad was an important commercial species in those areas during the last quarter of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. The annual catches of twaite shad in the Southern Baltic declined sharply In the 1950s. The mean annual catch of twaite shad amounted to 90 982 kg for the entire Southern Baltic Sea between 1891 and 1960. About 47.9 % of that value were contributed by subdivision 26, comprising the areas of Gdańsk Bay, Vistula Lagoon/Vistula Spit and Kuršiu Lagoon/Kuršiu Spit. The proportion of subdivision 24, comprising the areas of Pommeranian Bay/Pommeranian coast and Szczecin Lagoon, amounted to 37.5 %. Seasonal commercial catches of twaite shad showed maximum values from May to July and peaked in June. A. fallax was only occasionally caught in the Baltic Sea region until the mid 1990s. Later on, twaite shad was observed more frequently in Polish, Lithuanian and Estonian waters of the Southern Baltic Sea. A total of 25 individuals were recorded in German Baltic waters from 2000-2004. Most of these new records were obtained from the Szczecin Lagoon and Pommeranian Bay. It must be concluded that the Baltic population of twaite shad is increasing since the middle of the 1990s after about 50 years of its decrease. The starting point of the population increase is probably the eastern twaite shad stock of the Kuršiu Lagoon.

However, a thorough risk assessment of the potential for transmission of BVDV via transfer of in vivo-derived embryos has not been undertaken. Hence, the primary objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of BVDV to be transmitted during the transfer of in vivo-derived embryos.

We found that there were no statistical differences for mortality, retreatment, performance or carcass characteristics. However, we did find morbidity to be statistically different between the two cohorts (19 % for non- PI exposure vs 30 % for PI exposure). In light of our previous findings, a new research trial was completed to determine the effect of testing and removing PI-BVDV cattle on arrival to the feedlot and the outcome on health, performance and carcass characteristics.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Loss of fresh water habitats is one potential explanation for the decline of the stock of the European eel Anguilla anguilla (L.) throughout the second half of the 20th century. Assessing its role in the decline, as well as developing targets for habitat restoration, requires that the loss of habitat is first quantified. For the Netherlands, information on changes in water surface for the larger water bodies is readily available, but (the change in) the contribution of the smaller waters (canals, ditches etc) is completely unknown. A first quantitative assessment of the decrease in fresh water area throughout the 20th century is compiled for the Netherlands. Both surface area and bank length are investigated. Quantification took place by measuring the length of ditches on historical and modern land maps, in two selected reference areas, selected to be representative for the major part of the country. The cumulative bank length has decreased to about half its former value, which decline was almost exclusively concentrated in the small ditches. The steepest decline occurred in the 1950s and 1960s, in relation to land re-allocation programmes. The water surface, however, greatly increased during the 1930s and 1940s, due to the reclamation of part of the Waddensea (now Lake IJsselmeer), but later on gradually declined, due to the construction of polders and the decrease in ditch abundance. The increase in open water surface and the loss of bank length are both potential causes for the decline of the eel stock. The creation of Lake IJsselmeer resulted in a large fresh water lake close to the sea, acting as a kind of trap for immigrating glass eel; the abundance of the resulting eel stock gave rise to an intense fishery, overexploiting the local stock. The loss of bank length will have resulted in a direct loss of habitat, particularly since female eel tend to concentrate in these areas.

description: A multi-physics simulation model has been established to investigate the influence of Laser powder bed fusion parameters on the spatial composition distribution and grain growth mechanism of the single-track printed dissimilar alloys. Our study shows that alloy composition gradient isosurfaces can be used to visualize the spatial distribution of alloy composition for miscible dissimilar alloys. When the melt pool aspect ratio changes from large to small, the grain growth transitions from the temperature gradient mode to composition gradient mode and then to the mixed mode. Our experimental observations show that in extreme cases, the curved grain angle can reach 272°. The study found that the composition gradient of dissimilar alloys can dominate grain growth, which is entirely different from the conventional temperature gradient-dominated grain growth mechanism.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The presence of survey set-nets on the pathways of fish migration leads to considerable changes in their migration behaviour. Besides of negative impact on the process of salmon migration, these methods of stock estimation give raise some doubts of the final results reliability. The aim of research was to compare the reliability of the data on the salmon migration intensity using the survey set-nets the hydroacoustic methods. We used echosounder Lowrance X-45 with wide-screen vibrator (120 deg.) which effectively works at the small depth. The studies were carried out in the nearshore waters in the immediate proximity to river mouth during the spawning migration of salmon. As a survey fishing gear the set-net of improved construction with verified parameters was used from July to August for the last three years. The data on the fish density obtained in the course of the echosounding surveys have shown direct relationship (r=0.78; F=24.8; p<0.01) with the catch amount as the intensity of migration varied from the lowest to medium values. In the cases of increasing migration intensity this relation took shape of the parabola with a relatively low determination index (R2= 41.2; F=3.05; p < 0.05). The analysis of the data collected through the 3-years studies shows a decrease in the correlation between the catches and the amount of fish entering the fishing area of the survey set-net as the migration intensity rises from its high values to the maximum. The reason of this effect is very low catching and holding capacities of the set-net in case of repletion of its playground and bag, which have been approved by the underwater observation. “The resistance' of the set-net to the flow of migration salmon leads to the replacement of the well-ordered unidirectional movement of the separate shoals, and to a considerable increase in number of salmons swimming round the set-net from the sea-side, and as a result to a decreasing representativeness of he catch data used for the stock estimation.

description: We evaluate the accuracy of the actuator line model (ALM) approach by performing simulations for the NREL~5~MW wind turbine in uniform inflow using three large eddy simulation codes. The power and thrust coefficients obtained using the three codes agrees within $1\%$ when the grid spacing $Δ_{\rm grid} \le 5.25$~m, and are cross-validated against blade element momentum (BEM) theory. We find that the results of ALM converge towards BEM theory without the need for tip correction when the numerical resolution is increased. For $Δ_{\rm grid}=0.98$~m the difference between the power and thrust coefficient obtained using ALM and BEM is $4.5\%$ and $2.1\%$, respectively, although we note that no absolute convergence between ALM and BEM can be obtained as both models use different assumptions, such as the use of a force projection method in the ALM. The difference in the local axial and tangential forces along the blades obtained from ALM simulations using $Δ_{\rm grid} = 1.97$~m and $Δ_{\rm grid} = 0.98$~m can be as large as $10\%$. The effect of the number of actuator points on the obtained turbine power and thrust coefficients is limited as the results converge when the spacing between the actuator points is about three times the grid spacing. This insight on the required number of blade points can be used to improve the efficiency of actuator line simulations.

description: Rate of single-photon generation by quantum emitters (QEs) can be enhanced by placing a QE inside a resonant structure. This structure can represent an all-dielectric micro-resonator or waveguide and thus be characterized by ultra-low loss and dimensions on the order of wavelength. Or it can be a metal nanostructure supporting localized or propagating surface plasmon-polariton modes that are of subwavelength dimensions, but suffer from strong absorption. In this work, we develop a physically transparent analytical model of single-photon emission in resonant structures and show unambiguously that, notwithstanding the inherently high loss, the external emission rate can be enhanced with plasmonic nanostructures by two orders of magnitude compared to all-dielectric structures. Our analysis provides guidelines for developments of new plasmonic configurations and materials to be exploited in quantum plasmonics.

description: We study how stable the Majorana-mediated spin transport in a quantum spin Kitaev model is against thermal fluctuations. Using the time-dependent thermal pure quantum state method, we examine finite-temperature spin dynamics in the Kitaev model. The model exhibits two characteristic temperatures $T_L$ and $T_H$, which correspond to energy scales of the local flux and the itinerant Majorana fermion, respectively. At low temperatures $(T\ll T_L)$, an almost flux-free state is realized and the spin excitation propagates in a similar way to that for the ground state. Namely, after the magnetic pulse is introduced at one of the edges, the itinerant Majorana fermions propagate the spin excitations even through the quantum spin liquid state region, and oscillations in the spin moment appear in the other edge with a tiny magnetic field. When $T\sim T_L$, larger oscillations in the spin moments are induced in the other edge, compared to the results at the ground state. At higher temperatures, excited $Z_2$ fluxes disturb the coherent motion of the itinerant Majorana fermions, which suppresses the spin propagation. Our results demonstrate a crucial role of thermal fluctuations in the Majorana-mediated spin transport.

description: An unusual correlation function is conjectured by M. Campostrini et al. (Phys. Rev. E 91, 042123 (2015)) for the ground state of a transverse Ising chain with geometrical frustration in one of the translationally invariant cases. Later, we demonstrated the correlation function and showed its non-local nature in the thermodynamic limit based on the rigorous evaluation of a Toeplitz determinant (J. Stat. Mech. 113102 (2016)). In this paper, we prove rigorously that all the states that forming the lowest gapless spectrum (including the ground state) in the kink phase exhibit the same asymptotic correlation function. So, in a point of view of cannonical ensemble, the thermal correlation function is inert to temperature within the energy range of the lowest gapless spectrum.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Complicated hydrodynamic structure of the rivers, especially in the lower part if them, determined by rivers’ channel morphometry exerts significantly influences the fishes’ behaviour, which become apparent in distributional and displacement patterns of migratory fishes. Such factors as sharp changes of the depth and width of channel or in the degree of meandering alter the trajectories of fish movements causing the long delays before the obstacles and changes in velocity regime of migration. Presence of the survey set fishing gears in the river results in similar changes of migration behaviour that can be classified as “violations'. On the one hand, it brings the negative impact on the migration; on the other hand, it gives rise to some doubts about reliability of the data on abundance of the migrating fishes obtained by means of set fishing gears and may cause an increased level of elimination. The purpose of this work was to study the distribution and behaviour of migrating fishes within the affecting zone of set survey gears on the example of the North Dvina River and Onega River. For studying the distribution and density of the Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. and the brown trout S. trutta L. we have used echosounder Lowrance X-45 with a wide-screen vibrator (120º) and satellite navigation module LGC-1. The fishing weir has been used as a survey fishing gear. The researches of fish distribution in the active zone around the fishing weir have shown that this area has smaller structural organization of fish. No significant dependence of fish distribution on the channel depth was registered here; the range of preferred depths was not evident; the density of fish aggregations and their migration speed notably differed. Certainly, the impairments of migratory behaviour caused by the set survey gears, uneven distribution of migrating fish in cross-section of the river intensified by the action of the gear, and species-specific peculiarities in fish response to the obstacles do not allow to estimate satisfactory the number of fish passing to their spawning grounds.
