description: Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET's) using atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) Al$_2$O$_3$ as the gate dielectric are fabricated on the Si/Si$_{1-x}$Ge$_x$ heterostructures. The low-temperature carrier density of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in the strained Si quantum well can be controllably tuned from 2.5$\times10^{11}$cm$^{-2}$ to 4.5$\times10^{11}$cm$^{-2}$, virtually without any gate leakage current. Magnetotransport data show the homogeneous depletion of 2DES under gate biases. The characteristic of vertical modulation using ALD dielectric is shown to be better than that using Schottky barrier or the SiO$_2$ dielectric formed by plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor-deposition(PECVD).

description: We study the resonant sequential two-photon ionization of neutral atoms by a combination of twisted- and plane-wave light within a fully relativistic framework. In particular, the ionization of an isotropic ensemble of neutral sodium atoms ($Z = 11$) from their ground $3^{2}S_{1/2}$ state via the $3^{2}P_{3/2}$ level is considered. We investigate in details the influence of the kinematic parameters of incoming twisted radiation on the photoelectron angular distribution and the circular dichroism. Moreover we study the influence of the geometry of the process on these quantities. This is performed by changing the propagation directions of the incoming twisted and plane-wave light. It is found that the dependence on the kinematic parameters of the twisted photon is the strongest if the plane-wave and twisted light beams are perpendicular to each other.

Paste extrusion of polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder resins
Creators: name: Ariawan, Alfonsius B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Due to its high melting point and melt viscosity, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is processed by a number of unusual techniques. These include paste extrusion. In PTFE paste extrusion, a free-flowing fine powder resin, having a typical individual particle diameter of 0.2 pm, is processed with the aid of a lubricating liquid to form an extrudate of considerable strength. The process is carried out at near ambient temperatures and is usually followed by sintering. Although PTFE paste extrusion has been commercialized, little is known of the fundamental mechanisms underlying the process. In this work, the fundamental theoretical and experimental aspects of PTFE paste extrusion were studied. Five resins of different molecular structure were tested. Experiments were conducted using Instron capillary rheometers, equipped with barrels of different diameters and dies of various design. Analyses were performed using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), scanning electon microscope (SEM) and micro-Raman spectrometer. The tensile properties of paste extrudates were determined using a universal Instron mechanical testing machine. In addition, visualization experiments were performed to determine the pattern of PTFE paste flow during extrusion. Prior to extrusion, the PTFE powder-lubricant mixture (paste) is preformed to produce a compacted cylindrical billet. The preforming behavior of PTFE pastes was studied in this work, in order to identify and determine the effects of important processing variables. It was found that the minimum preforming pressure and the duration required to ensure uniform paste compaction are dependent on the resin molecular structure. An empirical relationship was established to illustrate this. In the rheological study, the effects of various operating parameters were investigated. To quantitatively describe the flow behavior of PTFE paste, a one-dimensional mathematical model was developed, based on observations from flow visualization experiments. The model takes into account the elastic-plastic (strain hardening) and viscous nature of the material in its non-melt state. Finally, the mechanism of PTFE paste flow, which involves the formation of fibrils, was determined using SEM and verified using DSC . The properties of the extrudates were also analyzed, in terms of fibril quantity and quality (i.e. fibril orientation and continuity). A balance between fibril quantity and quality was found to be necessary to ensure acceptable product quality, as illustrated through the effects of various operating variables on the extrudate tensile strength.

Quiver Asymptotics and Amoeba: Instantons on Toric Divisors of Calabi-Yau Threefolds

description: The BPS bound states of D4-D2-D0 branes on the non-compact divisors of Calabi-Yau threefolds and the instantons in the dual quiver gauge theories are previously studied using two-dimensional crystal melting model and dimer model. Using the tropical geometry associated with the toric quiver, we study the asymptotic of the quiver gauge theory to compute some of their thermodynamic observables and extract the phase structure. We obtain that the thermodynamic observables such as free energy, entropy and growth rate are explicitly obtained from the limit shape of the crystal model, the boundary of the Amoeba and its Harnack curve characterization. Furthermore, we observe that there is a Hagedorn phase transition in the instanton sector inferred from the Gumbel distribution of the fluctuations in the crystal model. We present explicit computations of the results in some concrete examples of $\mathbb{C}^3$, conifold, local $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$ and local $\mathbb{P}^2$ quivers.

description: Contact-free detection of human vital signs like heart rate and respiration rate will improve the patients' comfort and enables long-term monitoring of newborns or bedridden patients. For that, reliable and safe measurement techniques are indispensable. The aim of this work is the development and comparison of novel ultrasonic and capacitive measurement setups, sharing a common hardware platform. Both measurement techniques that are implemented and compared are based on the detection of minor chest wall vibrations in millimeter ranges, due to geometrical thorax changes during respiration and heartbeat activities. After examining the physical measurement conditions and simulating the capacitive sensor, a problem-specific measurement setup is proposed. The system is characterized to be capable of detecting distance changes below 2 μm via the ultrasonic sensor and below 800 μm via the capacitive sensor. First subject measurements show that the detection of heart activities is possible under ideal conditions and exclusively with the proposed ultrasonic approach. However, the capacitive sensor works reliably for respiration monitoring, even when the subject is fully-clothed and covered with a blanket. The chosen ultrasonic approach is sensitive regarding minor changes of the reflecting surface and therefore has high uncertainty. In contrast, capacitive respiration detection is very reliable. It is conceivable that improvements in the capacitive sensor circuitry will also enable the detection of heart activities. The proposed ultrasonic approach presents current problems of this technique. In contrast to that, the unusual approach of capacitive sensing demonstrates a high potential regarding vital signs acquisition.

description: We consider the relationship between P-wave pi-N scattering and the strength of the P-wave two-pion-exchange three-nucleon interaction (TPE3NI). We explain why effective theories that do not contain the delta resonance as an explicit degree of freedom tend to overestimate the strength of the TPE3NI. The overestimation can be remedied by higher-order terms in these ``delta-less'' theories, but such terms are not yet included in state-of-the-art chiral EFT calculations of the nuclear force. This suggests that these calculations can only predict the strength of the TPE3NI to an accuracy of +/-25%.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation examines the lives, struggles, and victories of the everyday men and women of the Cauca Valley most impacted by violence in the twentieth century. This dissertation explores the ways popular democracy flourished in the working-class barrios of Cali, Colombia before, during, and after la Violencia period. This dissertation makes three important contributions that enrich how Colombian history is understood: Popular democracy flourished in the working-class barrios of Cali, Colombia before, during, and after la Violencia; Afro-descendant Colombians, especially Afro-Colombian women, played a crucial role in creating and sustaining families, communities, and democracy during this period; and popular culture in the form of salsa music, working in conjunction with popular democratic groups, paved the way for the working class in Cali to become involved in city politics and community activism. Together, these arguments paint a different portrait of working-class urban life in Colombia. Rather than solely examining the shortcomings or contributions of national political parties and actors, this dissertation showcases the resiliency of everyday men and women, most of whom were Afro-descendant Colombians, who attempting to fight violence by organizing themselves and embracing democracy through social action.

description: This report examines evidence on the relationship between agricultural land-use changes, soil productivity, and indicators of environmental sensitivity. If cropland that shifts in and out of production is less productive and more environmentally sensitive than other cropland, policy-induced changes in land use could have production effects that are smaller-and environmental impacts that are greater-than anticipated. To illustrate this possibility, this report examines environmental outcomes stemming from landuse conversion caused by two agricultural programs that others have identified as potentially having important influences on land use and environmental quality: Federal crop insurance subsidies and the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the Nation's largest cropland retirement program. The report finds that lands moving between cultivated cropland and less intensive agricultural uses are, on average, less productive and more vulnerable to erosion than other cultivated lands, both nationally and locally. These lands are also associated with greater potential nutrient runoff and leaching compared with cultivated cropland nationally. Crop insurance subsidies and CRP have estimated effects on erosion and other environmental factors that are disproportionate to the acreage and production effects, but specific environmental impacts vary with the features of each program.

description: The new solar composition, when applied to compute a model of the Sun, leads to serious disagreement between the predictions of the model and the observations obtained by helioseismology. New measurements of the coronal Ne/O abundance ratio in nearby stars using X-ray spectra typically find high values of Ne/O=0.4 rather than 0.15 normally adopted for the Sun. Drake & Testa (2005) suggest that this high Ne/O ratio is appropriate also for the Sun, which would bring the solar models back in agreement with the helioseismological observations. Here we present arguments why the high Ne/O ratio is unlikely to be applicable to the Sun.

description: This report analyzes consumer demand and nutritional issues associated with nonalcoholic beverages purchased for at-home use by looking at demographic variables such as household size, household income, education level, and region. The beverages include milk, carbonated soft drinks, bottled water, fruit juices, fruit drinks, coffee, tea, and isotonics (sports drinks). The report's focus is on the impact of nutritional quality from beverage purchase choices that a household makes, looking at the household's availability of calories, calcium, vitamin C, and caffeine from these beverage choices. Using the Daily Values on the Nutrition Facts portion of the food label as a reference, we find that nonalcoholic beverages purchased for at-home consumption provided, on a per-person basis: 10 percent of daily value for calories; 20 percent of the daily value for calcium; 70 percent of daily value for vitamin C. Statistical analyses included the use of descriptive cross-tabulations and regression analyses, with profiles of households that were more or less likely to purchase the beverages, as well as key determinants associated with the probability of purchasing selected beverages.

CRISPR-Cas adaptive Immunity in Leptotrichia shahii Type VI-A system
Creators: name: Jain, Ishita
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Bacteria and phages are constantly battling an evolutionary arms race where they developed several defense strategies to outcompete each other. Prokaryotes utilize CRISPR-Cas systems, an adaptive immune mechanism to protect themselves by targeting phage genomes in a sequence specific manner. Type VI systems are a unique subtype of Class 2 CRISPR-Cas systems which provide host immunity by exclusively targeting RNA. The Type VI nuclease Cas13, gets activated upon target RNA recognition and causes ‘collateral’ RNA cleavage in trans, which leads to bacterial cell dormancy and protection of the host cells. However, due to a lack of in vivo studies, the mechanistic details of the RNA-targeting activity of Type VI systems remains unclear and raises questions about its role as a prokaryotic defense system.In this work, we conducted in vivo and in vitro analyses to show that Cas13a effector from Leptotrichia shahii (Lsh) is a specific RNA-targeting nuclease which does not exhibit promiscuous indiscriminate RNase activity as previously suggested. We show that tRNA anticodon loops are true cleavage substrates for target-activated LshCas13a and these cleavages are preferentially made in uridine rich residues.On the other hand, spacer acquisition is an important process in making CRISPR-Cas systems ‘adaptive’ in nature, where the CRISPR array can store memories of past phage infections and pass onto bacterial progeny. Since the Type VI-A system targets RNA and has no known associated reverse transcriptases, it is important to understand how this system acquires new spacers.Here, we developed an oligo adaptation assay to test spacer integration in the Type VI-A CRISPR array. We showed that RNA-targeting LshCas13a systems can acquire double-stranded DNA oligos as spacers in the CRISPR array utilizing the Cas1 and Cas2 adaptation proteins. We also demonstrated that RNA oligos are not acquired by the Lsh Type VI-A CRISPR systems.In light of these results, we also presented a model of Type VI-A CRISPR-Cas adaptive immunity to describe its function as an adaptive prokaryotic defense system.
The compact support property for measure-valued processes

description: The purpose of this article is to give a rather thorough understanding of the compact support property for measure-valued processes corresponding to semi-linear equations of the form \[ \begin{aligned}& u_t=Lu+βu-αu^p \text{in} R^d\times (0,\infty), p\in(1,2]; &u(x,0)=f(x) \text{in} R^d; &u(x,t)\ge0 \text{in} R^d\times[0,\infty). \end{aligned} \] In particular, we shall investigate how the interplay between the underlying motion (the diffusion process corresponding to $L$) and the branching affects the compact support property. In \cite{EP99}, the compact support property was shown to be equivalent to a certain analytic criterion concerning uniqueness of the Cauchy problem for the semi-linear parabolic equation related to the measured valued process. In a subsequent paper \cite{EP03}, this analytic property was investigated purely from the point of view of partial differential equations. Some of the results obtained in this latter paper yield interesting results concerning the compact support property. In this paper, the results from \cite{EP03} that are relevant to the compact support property are presented, sometimes with extensions. These results are interwoven with new results and some informal heuristics. Taken together, they yield a rather comprehensive picture of the compact support property. \it Inter alia\rm, we show that the concept of a measure-valued process \it hitting\rm a point can be investigated via the compact support property, and suggest an alternate proof of a result concerning the hitting of points by super-Brownian motion.

description: Animal waste from confined animal feeding operations is a potential source of air and water quality degradation from evaporation of gases, runoff to surface water, and leaching to ground water. This report assesses the potential economic and environmental tradeoffs between water quality policies and air quality policies that require the animal agriculture sector to take potentially costly measures to abate pollution. A farm-level analysis of hog farms estimates the economic and environmental tradeoffs that occur when policies are designed to address pollutant flows to one environmental medium without considering flows to another medium. A national analysis addresses the broader impacts of coordinated (water and air) policies, including long-term structural adjustments and welfare impacts on both producers and consumers. The report also analyzes the potential implications of adding air quality regulations to existing Clean Water Act regulations in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, where a limited land base increases producers' costs of meeting manure management requirements.

description: Materials like paper, consisting of a network of natural fibres, exposed to variations in moisture, undergo changes in geometrical and mechanical properties. This behaviour is particularly important for understanding the hygro-mechanical response of sheets of paper in applications like digital printing. A two-dimensional microstructural model of a fibrous network is therefore developed to upscale the hygro-expansion of individual fibres, through their interaction, to the resulting overall expansion of the network. The fibres are modelled with rectangular shapes and are assumed to be perfectly bonded where they overlap. For realistic networks the number of bonds is large and the network is geometrically so complex that discretizing it by conventional, geometry-conforming, finite elements is cumbersome. The combination of a level-set and XFEM formalism enables the use of regular, structured grids in order to model the complex microstructural geometry. In this approach, the fibres are described implicitly by a level-set function. In order to represent the fibre boundaries in the fibrous network, an XFEM discretization is used together with a Heaviside enrichment function. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed approach successfully captures the hygro-expansive properties of the network with fewer degrees of freedom compared to classical FEM, preserving desired accuracy.

description: The 2002 Farm Act provided farmland owners the opportunity to update commodity program base acres and payment yields used for calculating selected program benefits. Findings in this report suggest that farmland owners responded to economic incentives in these decisions, selecting those options for designating base acres that resulted in the greatest expected flow of program payments. Decisions of farmland owners in South Dakota, in upland cotton area, and in the Heartland region support the payment-maximization argument. In general, landowners favored maximizing payments over aligning base acres to current or recent plantings. Farmland owners with high-payment base acres, such as rice and cotton, held on to these base acres and, whenever possible, expanded them. Analogously, landowners with low-payment commodity base acres, such as oats and barley, switched to higher payment commodities whenever possible.

Along with a buoyant plume, flow visualization reveals that the dissolution of a confined droplet is hindered by a newly identified mechanism - levitated toroidal vortex. The morphological changes in the flow due to the vortex-induced impediment alters the dissolution rate, resulting in enhancement of droplet lifetime. Further, we have proposed a modification in the key non-dimensional parameters (Rayleigh number $Ra^{'}$ (signifying buoyancy) and Sherwood number $Sh^{'}$ (signifying mass flux)) and droplet lifetime $τ_{c}^{'}$, based on the hypothesis of linearly stratified droplet surroundings (with revised concentration difference $ΔC^{'}$), taking into account the geometry of the confinements. We show that experimental results on droplet dissolution under vertical confinement corroborate universal scaling relations $Sh^{'} \sim Ra^{' 1/4}$ and $τ_{c}^{'} \sim ΔC^{'-5/4}$. We also draw attention to the fact that the revised scaling law incorporating the geometry of confinements proposed in the present work can be extended to other known configurations such as droplet dissolution inside a range of channel dimensions, as encountered in a gamut of applications such as micro-fluidic technology and biomedical engineering.

description: Evidence for a strong spin-lattice coupling in multiferroic HoMnO_3 is derived from thermal expansion measurements along a- and c-axis. The magnetoelastic effect results in sizable anomalies of the thermal expansivities at the antiferromagnetic (T_N) and the spin rotation (T_{SR}) transition temperatures as well as in a negative c-axis expansivity below room temperature. The coupling between magnetic orders and dielectric properties below T_N is explained by the lattice strain induced by the magnetoelastic effect. At T_{SR} various physical quantities show discontinuities that are thermodynamically consistent with a first order phase transition.

description: AB5 compounds (A = rare earth, B = transition metal) have been widely studied as anodes for Ni-MH applications. However, they have reached their technical limitations and the search for new promising materials with high capacity is foreseen. ABy compounds (2 < y < 5) are good candidates. They are made by stacking [AB5] and [A2B4] units along the c crystallographic axis. The latter unit allows a large increase in capacity, while the [AB5] unit provides good cycling stability. Consequently, the AB3.8 composition (i.e. A5B19 with three [AB5] for one [A2B4]) is expected to exhibit better cycling stability than the AB3.5 (i.e. A2B7 with two [AB5] for one [A2B4]). Furthermore, substitution of rare earth by light magnesium improves both the capacity and cycling stability. In this paper, we compare the hydrogenation and corrosion properties of two binary compounds SmNi$_{3.5}$ and SmNi$_{3.8}$ and two pseudo-binary ones (Sm,Mg)Ni$_{3.5}$ and (Sm,Mg)Ni$_{3.8}$. A better solid-gas cycling stability is highlighted for the binary SmNi$_{3.8}$. The pseudo-binary compounds also exhibit higher cycling stability than the binary ones. Furthermore, their resistance to corrosion was investigated.

description: For a given morphism of schemes f:X->S, a sheaf F on X, a geometric point x on X, and s=f(x), the morphism f\_x : X(x) -> S(s) between the strict henselizations doesn't necessarily behave (with respect to F) like a proper morphism. However, we know it is so (assuming constructibility of F etc.) if S is the spectrum of a dvr (P. Deligne, SGA 4 1/2, [Th. finitude]). In this article, we prove it becomes so after an appropriate modification of the base S. The main ingredient is a theorem by A.J. de Jong on plurinodal fibrations. An application of this formalism to Lefschetz pencils is given.

Laser cooling of new atomic and molecular species with ultrafast pulses

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

description: We propose a new laser cooling method for atomic species whose level structure makes traditional laser cooling difficult. For instance, laser cooling of hydrogen requires single-frequency vacuum-ultraviolet light, while multielectron atoms need single-frequency light at many widely separated frequencies. These restrictions can be eased by laser cooling on two-photon transitions with ultrafast pulse trains. Laser cooling of hydrogen, antihydrogen, and many other species appears feasible, and extension of the technique to molecules may be possible.

description: This study reports trends in rural low-skill employment in the 1990s and their impact on the rural workforce. The share of rural jobs classified as low-skill fell by 2.2 percentage points between 1990 and 2000, twice the decline of the urban low-skill employment share, but much less than the decline of the 1980s. Employment shifts from low-skill to skilled occupations within industries, rather than changes in industry mix, explain virtually all of the decline in the rural low-skill employment share. The share decline was particularly large for rural Black women, many of whom moved out of low-skill blue-collar work into service occupations, while the share of rural Hispanics who held low-skill jobs increased.

description: Eighty-eight percent of American households were food secure throughout the entire year in 2004, meaning that they had access, at all times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The remaining households were food insecure at least some time during that year. The prevalence of food insecurity rose from 11.2 percent of households in 2003 to 11.9 percent in 2004, and the prevalence of food insecurity with hunger rose from 3.5 percent to 3.9 percent. This report, based on data from the December 2004 food security survey, provides the most recent statistics on the food security of U.S. households, as well as on how much they spent for food and the extent to which food-insecure households participated in Federal and community food assistance programs. Survey responses indicate that the typical food-secure household in the United States spent 31 percent more on food than the typical food-insecure household of the same size and household composition. Just over half of all food-insecure households participated in one or more of the three largest Federal food assistance programs during the month prior to the survey. About 20 percent of food-insecure households- 3.5 percent of all U.S. households- obtained emergency food from a food pantry at some time during the year.

description: A barrier to realizing the potential of molecules for quantum information science applications is a lack of high-fidelity, single-molecule imaging techniques. Here, we present and theoretically analyze a general scheme for dispersive imaging of electronic ground-state molecules. Our technique relies on the intrinsic anisotropy of excited molecular rotational states to generate optical birefringence, which can be detected through polarization rotation of an off-resonant probe laser beam. Using \narb and \rbcs as examples, we construct a formalism for choosing the molecular state to be imaged and the excited electronic states involved in off-resonant coupling. Our proposal establishes the relevant parameters for achieving degree-level polarization rotations for bulk molecular gases, thus enabling high-fidelity nondestructive imaging. We additionally outline requirements for the high-fidelity imaging of individually trapped molecules.
