title: Nonlinear frequency response analysis of structural vibrations
Creators: name: Weeger, Oliver

Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2022

description: In this paper we present a method for nonlinear frequency response analysis of mechanical vibrations of 3-dimensional solid structures. For computing nonlinear frequency response to periodic excitations, we employ the well-established harmonic balance method. A fundamental aspect for allowing a large-scale application of the method is model order reduction of the discretized equation of motion. Therefore we propose the utilization of a modal projection method enhanced with modal derivatives, providing second-order information. For an efficient spatial discretization of continuum mechanics nonlinear partial differential equations, including large deformations and hyperelastic material laws, we employ the concept of isogeometric analysis. Isogeometric finite element methods have already been shown to possess advantages over classical finite element discretizations in terms of higher accuracy of numerical approximations in the fields of linear vibration and static large deformation analysis. With several computational examples, we demonstrate the applicability and accuracy of the modal derivative reduction method for nonlinear static computations and vibration analysis. Thus, the presented method opens a promising perspective on application of nonlinear frequency analysis to large-scale industrial problems.

description: We present an event-ready procedure that is capable of distilling Gaussian two-mode entangled states from a supply of weakly entangled states that have become mixed in a decoherence process. This procedure relies on passive optical elements and photon detectors distinguishing the presence and the absence of photons, but does not make use of photon counters. We identify fixed points of the iteration map, and discuss in detail its convergence properties. Necessary and sufficient criteria for the convergence to two-mode Gaussian states are presented. On the basis of various examples we discuss the performance of the procedure as far as the increase of the degree of entanglement and two-mode squeezing is concerned. Finally, we consider imperfect operations and outline the robustness of the scheme under non-unit detection efficiencies of the detectors. This analysis implies that the proposed protocol can be implemented with currently available technology and detector efficiencies.

Effective scalar-tensor description of regularized Lovelock gravity in four dimensions

description: We reformulate the recently proposed regularized version of Lovelock gravity in four dimensions as a scalar-tensor theory. By promoting the warp factor of the internal space to a scalar degree of freedom by means of Kaluza-Klein reduction, we show that regularized Lovelock gravity can be described effectively by a certain subclass of the Horndeski theory. Cosmological aspects of this particular scalar-tensor theory are studied. It is found that the background with a scalar charge is generically allowed. The consequences of this scalar charge are briefly discussed.

description: Hawking's theorem on the topology of black holes asserts that cross sections of the event horizon in 4-dimensional asymptotically flat stationary black hole spacetimes obeying the dominant energy condition are topologically 2-spheres. This conclusion extends to outer apparent horizons in spacetimes that are not necessarily stationary. In this paper we obtain a natural generalization of Hawking's results to higher dimensions by showing that cross sections of the event horizon (in the stationary case) and outer apparent horizons (in the general case) are of positive Yamabe type, i.e., admit metrics of positive scalar curvature. This implies many well-known restrictions on the topology, and is consistent with recent examples of five dimensional stationary black hole spacetimes with horizon topology $S^2 \times S^1$. The proof is inspired by previous work of Schoen and Yau on the existence of solutions to the Jang equation (but does not make direct use of that equation).

ALTERNATIVE PUNISHMENTS TO INCARCERATION IN THE SHARIA CRIMINAL LAW: THE APPLICABILITY OF THOSE ALTERNATIVES IN THE SAUDI ARABIAN CRIMINAL LAW FOR PERSONS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES

description: In 2008, Saudi Arabia signed and ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Convention, CRPD), an international treaty that addresses matters related to persons with disabilities (PWD). Article 12(2) of the CRPD requires State Parties to “recognize that persons with disabilities enjoy legal capacity on an equal basis with others in all aspects of life.” Saudi Arabian domestic laws, which are in accordance with the Sharia, differentiate between two different types of legal capacity: the legal capacity to act and the legal capacity of rights. This distinction does not de facto violate the Convention; however, persons with intellectual disabilities (PWID) face a number of challenges due to the understating of the term legal capacity. This dissertation studies the effects of preventing PWID from enjoying their full legal capacity without supervision to determine whether Saudi Arabia should change its guardianship laws and the underlying domestic perspectives that ultimately isolate PWID. This dissertation does not resolve the challenges with how Saudi Arabia view disability, but rather calls to adopt the supported decision-making approach that allows PWID to enjoy their capacity to act and is in accordance with Saudi national laws.

description: We consider a relativistic extended object described by a reparametrization invariant local action that depends on the extrinsic curvature of the worldvolume swept out by the object as it evolves. We provide a Hamiltonian formulation of the dynamics of such higher derivative models which is motivated by the ADM formulation of general relativity. The canonical momenta are identified by looking at boundary behavior under small deformations of the action; the relationship between the momentum conjugate to the embedding functions and the conserved momentum density is established. The canonical Hamiltonian is constructed explicitly; the constraints on the phase space, both primary and secondary, are identified and the role they play in the theory described. The multipliers implementing the primary constraints are identified in terms of the ADM lapse and shift variables and Hamilton's equations shown to be consistent with the Euler-Lagrange equations.

description: We report on the detection of extreme giant pulses (GPs) from one of the oldest-known pulsars, the highly variable PSR B0950+08, with the Amsterdam-ASTRON Radio Transient Facility And Analysis Centre (AARTFAAC), a parallel transient detection instrument operating as a subsystem of the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR). During processing of our Northern Hemisphere survey for low-frequency radio transients, a sample of 275 pulses with fluences ranging from 42 to 177 kJy ms were detected in one-second snapshot images. The brightest pulses are an order of magnitude brighter than those previously reported at 42 and 74 MHz, on par with the levels observed in a previous long-term study at 103 MHz. Both their rate and fluence distribution differ between and within the various studies done to date. The GP rate is highly variable, from 0 to 30 per hour, with only two three-hour observations accounting for nearly half of the pulses detected in the 96 h surveyed. It does not vary significantly within a few-hour observation, but can vary strongly one from day to the next. The spectra appear strongly and variably structured, with emission sometimes confined to a single 195.3 kHz subband, and the pulse spectra changing on a timescale of order 10 min.

description: We present a pipeline for the conversion of 3D models into a form suitable for isogeometric analysis (IGA). The input into our pipeline is a boundary represented 3D model, either as a triangulation or as a collection of trimmed non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) surfaces. The pipeline consists of three stages: computer aided design (CAD) model reconstruction from a triangulation (if necessary); segmentation of the boundary-represented solid into topological hexahedra; and volume parameterization. The result is a collection of volumetric NURBS patches. In this paper we discuss our methods for the three stages, and demonstrate the suitability of the result for IGA by performing stress simulations with examples of the output.
The Impact of Mortality Salience on College Students' Intent to Help Older Adults
Creators: name: Fenstermacher, Erika A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Terror Management Theory (TMT) states that the awareness of one’s own death causes humans to experience intense anxiety, which must be continuously managed. The mortality salience hypothesis posits that when a person is reminded of their death, they will rely more heavily on psychological resources in order to cope. Much of the research on TMT and subsequent human behavior has been focused on negative outcomes, rather than prosocial behavior. America is encountering a growing aging population who, in the coming years, will need the public’s attention more than ever. This shift in the population will demand that professionals in healthcare, communication, technology, and human services are appropriately trained in geriatrics. The present study recruited 107 participants from American University. They were randomly assigned to the mortality salience (MS) condition, where they were primed with two questions about their own death, or the control condition, where they were given identical questions with the words “death and dying” replaced with “dental pain”. Participants completed self-reports of ageism. After the study seemed to end, participants were given a disguised measure of helping behavior, which they believed to be an interest survey for a student volunteer group. The results, though marginal, indicated that there was a trend such that those in the MS condition were more willing to be contacted to volunteer with kids than being contacted to volunteer with older adults and that those in the MS condition were more likely to be contacted to volunteer with kids than those in the control condition. This reflects the importance of focused efforts on encouraging young people to identify with older adults and on promoting prosocial behavior.

description: When oil prices increase, we are likely to see gas prices increase instantaneously. When oil prices decrease, there tend to be time lags associated with lower gas prices. (Bacon 1991) illustrates this response as rockets and feathers: gasoline prices shooting up like rockets in responses to positive oil price shocks and floating down like feathers in response to negative shocks This article investigates the rocket and feathers hypothesis between gas stations in the Cleveland Ohio area. This analysis shows that it takes roughly 4.5 weeks for the price shock to be absorbed by retail gasoline prices. The asymmetry appears to increase as time from the initial shock passes, as initially expected.

description: Strong gravitational lensing has been a powerful probe of cosmological models and gravity. To date, constraints in either domain have been obtained separately. We propose a new methodology through which the cosmological model, specifically the Hubble constant, and post-Newtonian parameter can be simultaneously constrained. Using the time-delay cosmography from strong lensing combined with the stellar kinematics of the deflector lens, we demonstrate the Hubble constant and post-Newtonian parameter are incorporated in two distance ratios which reflect the lensing mass and dynamical mass, respectively. Through the reanalysis of the four publicly released lenses distance posteriors from the H0LiCOW collaboration, the simultaneous constraints of Hubble constant and post-Newtonian parameter are obtained. Our results suggests no deviation from the General Relativity, $γ_{\texttt{PPN}}=0.87^{+0.19}_{-0.17}$ with a Hubble constant favors the local Universe value, $H_0=73.65^{+1.95}_{-2.26}$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$. Finally, we forecast the robustness of gravity tests by using the time-delay strong lensing for constraints we expect in the next few years. We find that the joint constraint from 40 lenses are able to reach the order of $7.7\%$ for the post-Newtonian parameter and $1.4\%$ for Hubble constant.

description: A variety of strong and electroweak interaction properties of the pion and the light scalar sigma meson are computed in a relativistic quark model. Under the assumption that the resulting coupling of these mesons to the constituent quarks is identical, the sigma meson mass is determined as M_sigma=385.4 MeV. We discuss in detail the gauging of the non-local meson-quark interaction and calculate the electromagnetic form factor of the pion and the form factors of the pi(0) -> gamma gamma and sigma -> gamma gamma processes. We obtain explicit expressions for the relevant form factors and evaluate the leading and next-to-leading orders for large Euclidean photon virtualities. Turning to the decay properties of the sigma we determine the width of the electromagnetic sigma -> gamma gamma transition and discuss the strong decay sigma -> pi pi. In a final step we compute the nonleptonic decays D -> sigma pi and B -> sigma pi relevant for the possible observation of the sigma meson. All our results are compared to available experimental data and to results of other theoretical studies.

description: igatools is a newly released library for operators assembly in isogeometric analysis. The library, which is object oriented designed and written in C++11, is general purpose, therefore it is not devoted to any specific application. In this paper we show that such a design makes igatools an effective tool in assembling isogeometric discretizations of sophisticated differential operators. This effectiveness will be demonstrated showing code snippets relating one-to-one with the operators written on paper. To embrace a wide audience, applications from nonlinear incompressible solid and fluid mechanics will be addressed. In both cases we are going to deal with mixed isogeometric formulations. The applicative nature of this paper will be stressed solving industrially relevant tests cases.
Violence Against Women in the Name of Honor: The Case of Jordan
Creators: name: Alqahtani, Ghufran
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Honor crimes are forms of gendered violence that occur against women under the hand of the family, in which the “family home” become commonplace for violence and murder. It mainly involves a male relative that kills a female member within the family to protect a notion that is called “honor,” or the protection of sharaf because of ird violation that is the responsibility of females only. “Purification of shame,” “restoring dignity,” “preserving family honor,” all are used inside the courtrooms to justify such murder that takes the lives of almost twenty women annually in Jordan. This particular form of gender-based violence against women is the product of patriarchal interpretation of existing laws within the Jordanian Penal Code that is supported by Jordanian culture that encourages and entitles any male the right to kill his female relative in front of their family in a defense of sharaf and receive a reduced punishment. Articles 340, 98, and 99 of the Jordanian Penal Code altogether reflect the failure of the legal system in Jordan in protecting women from honor crimes. Even when the law recently witnessed minor changes, the male-based right to protect family honor through the use of lethal violence against women survived scrutiny. The purpose of this study is to highlight the legal injustice that is directed against women in Jordan. It will highlight the influence of legal pluralism and patriarchy to argue that this form of defense in its contemporary setting that is used solely to murder women is highly supported by tribal customs and religion making it an integral part of the modern legal system in Jordan.

description: Transport through two quantum dots laterally embedded in Aharonov-Bohm interferometry with infinite intradot and arbitrary interdot Coulomb repulsion is analyzed in the weak coupling and Coulomb blockade regime. By employing the modified quantum rate equations and the slave-boson approach, we establish a general dc current formula at temperatures higher than the Kondo temperature for the case that the spin degenerate levels of two dots are close to each other. We examine two simple examples for identical dots - no doubly occupied states and no empty state. In the former, completely destructive coherent transport and phase locking appear at magnetic flux $Φ=Φ_{0}/2$ and $Φ=0$ respectively; in the latter, partially coherent transport exhibits an oscillation with magnetic flux having a period of $Φ_0$.

description: For large scale electronic structure calculation, the Krylov subspace method is introduced to calculate the one-body density matrix instead of the eigenstates of given Hamiltonian. This method provides an efficient way to extract the essential character of the Hamiltonian within a limited number of basis set. Its validation is confirmed by the convergence property of the density matrix within the subspace. The following quantities are calculated; energy, force, density of states, and energy spectrum. Molecular dynamics simulation of Si(001) surface reconstruction is examined as an example, and the results reproduce the mechanism of asymmetric surface dimer.

description: Froggattimyia aurea (Townsend)
 Figs 14, 15 Protomeigenia aurea Townsend, 1916:156–157. Synonymy by Crosskey (1966:103).
 Type. Holotype male in USNM, no. 19974, Manilla, NSW. Very similar structurally to F. wentworthi, differing as follows:
 Male. All hairs, bristles, and setulae dark except for post gular and occipital hairs.
 Head. Reclinate upper orbital bristles clearly differentiated from adjacent hairs. Parafacial with setulae clearly restricted to dorsal half. Postocellar bristles usually 2 in number.
 Thorax. First postsutural intra-alar bristle small or missing, the presutural one often likewise.
 Legs. Forefemur dark on basal ¼–⅓ and along ½– 2 ⁄ 3 of dorsum; midfemur dark on basal ¼–½; hindfemur dark on basal ½ (1 specimen aberrant in having darkening confined to a trace at bases of femora). Forefemur without stout bristle(s) on anterior surface. Midfemur with subcentral ad and v bristles shorter than usual, little longer than width of tibia.
 Abdomen. Tergites with silver-grey pollen; syntergite 1+2 usually with distinct pair of submedian marginal bristles (but not in holotype), but none on tergite 3.
 Terminalia (Figs 14, 15). Surstylus in lateral view with hooked, beak-like apex and very sparse setulae; cerci in posterior view deeply excavated basally.
 Female (from associated rearing). Resembles male in silver-grey pollen of abdomen, reduced parafacial setulae, and (usually) presence of only 2 postocellar bristles, but abdominal tergite 3 with pair of well differentiated, rather characteristically erect, submedian marginal bristles. Only the postocellar setae separates these few females from those of F. vicina.
 Distribution. Known only from NSW and Vic.
 Biology. All specimens but one were reared from Pergagrapta spinolae Westwood or other unidentified pergid larvae.
 Notes. The holotype has its highly characteristic terminalia clearly displayed in situ, and there is no doubt as to its association with the other specimens—including the specimen mentioned above, that has only a trace of dark colour on the femora.

description: We investigate the tendency in variations of the dual CFT$_2$ when a rotating AdS$_3$ black hole changes by fluxes transferred by the scattering of a massive scalar field according to the AdS/CFT correspondence. The conserved quantities of the black hole are definitely constrained by the extremal condition. Moreover, the laws of thermodynamics provide a direction for the changes in the conserved quantities, so the black hole cannot be extremal under the scattering. This is naturally preferred. By the relationship between the rotating AdS$_3$ black hole and dual CFT$_2$, we find that such changes in the black hole constrain variations in eigenstates of the dual CFT$_2$. Furthermore, the tendency in the variations is closely related to the laws of thermodynamics.

description: The objective of this study is to present a practical example of a scale-independent design space development using a step-wise approach. A detailed description of the development process with a systematic outline of the main steps is provided. Design space is developed for film coating of tablets with moisture protective polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) based coating. The impact of scale-independent coating process parameters on the properties of film-coated tablets (FCT), i.e. water activity and film coating protection ability, and consequently on product long-term stability is explored. The main finding is that with model simplifications, a step-wise approach and rational development of scale-independent design space for the coating process, it is possible to efficiently predict, control, and optimize the long-term stability of a moisture sensitive product. However, the PVA moisture protective coating itself is recognized as having conflicting effects on product stability.

description: This paper puts the case for the inclusion of point optimal tests in the econometrician's repertoire. They do not suit every testing situation but the current evidence, which is reviewed here, indicates that they can have extremely useful small-sample power properties. As well as being most powerful at a nominated point in the alternative hypothesis parameter space, they may also have optimum power at a number of other points and indeed be uniformly most powerful when such a test exists. Point optimal tests can also be used to trace out the maximum attainable power envelope for a given testing problem, thus providing a benchmark against which test procedures can be evaluated. In some cases, point optimal tests can be constructed from tests of a simple null hypothesis against a simple alternative. For a wide range Of models of interest to econometricians, this paper shows how one can check whether a point optimal test can be constructed in this way. When it cannot, one may wish to consider approximately point optimal tests. As an illustration, the approach is applied to the non-nested problem of testing for AR(1) disturbances against MA(1) disturbances in the linear regression model.

Taxonomy

description: Froggattimyia woodorum sp. nov.
Figs 18, 19
 Types. Holotype male in ANIC no. 29-029375, Canberra, ACT, summit Mt Ainslie, 8 Jan. 2006, hand net, G. & M. Wood. Paratypes:— New South Wales: 3 males, same data as holotype; 2 males, Catherine Hill Bay, 12 Apr. 1949, S. J. Paramonov.
 Very similar to F. aurea, differing as follows:
 Male. Ivb/Vb-E = 1.1. Reclinate upper orbital bristles strongly differentiated; postocellar setae likewise, 2 in number. Reclinate upper orbital and parafacial setulae distinctly sparse and short. Antenna with noticeably long arista, long enough to reach lower facial margin (unlike all other Froggattimyia spp). Femora almost entirely dark, a small pale zone at apices; tarsi also dark; midfemur with 1 stout bristle anteriorly at centre; hindfemur with subcentral
 pd seta (Pd1) unusually long for this genus (Pd1/Sdd = 1.0–1.05). Abdominal syntergite 1+2 with very fine pair of submedian marginal bristles, tergite 3 with a very stout pair. Terminalia (Figs 18, 19) with relatively short, “stubby” appendages, the cerci slightly curved apically in a posterior direction.
 Female. Not known.
 Distribution. Known from ACT and NSW only.
 Biology. A female, possibly of this species, was reared from
 sawfly larvae taken on a “paperbark, Melaleuca sp.”
 Notes. In some attributes the males resemble those of Anagonia spp (as does the doubtful female), but, on balance, I place it here for the present. Like the previous species, the host is unknown, but presumably a sawfly larva.
The species name celebrates the collectors of the holotype: Monty and Grace Wood.

A New calculation of the atmospheric neutrino flux in a 3-dimensional scheme

description: We have revised the calculation of the flux of atmospheric neutrinos based on a 3-dimensional scheme with the realistic IGRF geomagnetic model. The primary flux model has been revised, based on the AMS and BESS observations, and the interaction model updated to DPMJET-III. With a fast simulation code and computer system, the statistical errors in the Monte Carlo study are negligible. We estimate the total uncertainty of the atmospheric neutrino flux prediction is reduced to $\lesssim$ 10 % below 10 GeV. The `3-dimensional effects' are found to be almost the same as the study with the dipole magnetic field, but the muon curvature effect remains up to a few 10 GeV for horizontal directions. The uncertainty of the absolute normalization of the atmospheric neutrino is still large above 10 GeV due to the uncertainty of the primary cosmic ray flux above 100 GeV. However, the zenith angle variation is not affected by these uncertainties.

Correspondence between temporal correlations in time series, inverse problems, and the Spherical Model

description: In this paper we employ methods from Statistical Mechanics to model temporal correlations in time series. We put forward a methodology based on the Maximum Entropy principle to generate ensembles of time series constrained to preserve part of the temporal structure of an empirical time series of interest. We show that a constraint on the lag-one autocorrelation can be fully handled analytically, and corresponds to the well known Spherical Model of a ferromagnet. We then extend such a model to include constraints on more complex temporal correlations by means of perturbation theory, showing that this leads to substantial improvements in capturing the lag-one autocorrelation in the variance. We apply our approach on synthetic data, and illustrate how it can be used to formulate expectations on the future values of a data generating process.

description: As part of Land and Food Systems (LFS) 450 community based food system project, we carried out research to estimate the amount of GHG emissions associated with produce purchased by UBC Food Services. Through consultations with the LFS 450 teaching team, Victoria Wakefield from UBC Food Services and Lillian Zaremba from the Sustainability office, we chose potatoes, tomatoes and apples as a focus for our project. We decided to investigate the emissions produced from production, processing, packaging and transportation. We reviewed literature from interdisciplinary studies in order to obtain emission factors. We also used to these articles to calculate the estimated GHG emissions from each product. The summary velocity report provided by the teaching team was useful for indicating the amounts of potato, tomato and apple products purchased by UBC Food Services. From our literature review, we determined there are many gaps in information with reference to GHG emissions caused by growing produce in Canada. Therefore, we used emission factors from different parts of the world to establish CO₂ emissions. Emissions factors for unprocessed tomatoes, potatoes, and apples are 0.771 kgCO₂/kg, 0.044 kgCO₂/kg, and 0.080 kgCO₂/kg respectively. Fries, a processed potato product, consumed at UBC in 2011 contributed a total of 297.7 kg of CO₂ whereas the whole potatoes purchased by UBC Food Services were associated with 0.121 kg of CO₂ emission. Carbon emissions for processed tomato products purchased by UBC Food Services during 2011 are 2264 kg CO₂ emitted for tomato juice, 8346.0 kg CO₂ emitted for diced tomatoes, 7955 kg CO₂ emitted for tomato paste, and 1933 kg CO₂ emitted for ketchup. The overall aim of collecting this data is to create recommendations for the stakeholders to lower the GHG emission caused by these produce items. We also recommend that the teaching team designs projects that will focus on identifying the most sustainable sources of popular produce items using other indicators in addition to distance from UBC.

Microreversibility and quantum transport in Aharonov-Bohm rings

description: The consequences of microreversibility for the linear and nonlinear transport properties of systems subjected to external magnetic fields are systematically investigated in Aharonov-Bohm rings connected to two, three, and four terminals. Within the independent electron approximation, the cumulant generating function, which fully specifies the statistics of the nonequilibrium currents, is expressed in terms of the scattering matrix of these circuits. The time-reversal symmetry relations up to the third responses of the currents and the fourth cumulants are analytically investigated and numerically tested as a function of the magnetic flux. The validity of such relations is thus firmly confirmed in this class of open quantum systems.
On the Interpretation of Exact Results for Structural Equation Estimators

description: In an unnormalised structural equation only the direction of the coefficient vector is determined. An estimator for the coefficients in the normalised equation defines an estimator for the direction of the coefficient vector in the unnormalised equation, and the density of the former induces a density for the latter. Though complex, the induced densities of the direction estimators are much more revealing about the properties of the estimators than their counterparts for the normalised case. The results help to explain other evidence of the superiority of the limited information maximum likelihood estimator.
