  • The Emergence of Gravitational Wave Science: 100 Years of Development of Mathematical Theory, Detectors, Numerical Algorithms, and Data Analysis Tools
    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 53, Number 4, October 2016, Pages 513–554 http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/bull/1544 Article electronically published on August 2, 2016 THE EMERGENCE OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVE SCIENCE: 100 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL THEORY, DETECTORS, NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS, AND DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS MICHAEL HOLST, OLIVIER SARBACH, MANUEL TIGLIO, AND MICHELE VALLISNERI In memory of Sergio Dain Abstract. On September 14, 2015, the newly upgraded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) recorded a loud gravitational-wave (GW) signal, emitted a billion light-years away by a coalescing binary of two stellar-mass black holes. The detection was announced in February 2016, in time for the hundredth anniversary of Einstein’s prediction of GWs within the theory of general relativity (GR). The signal represents the first direct detec- tion of GWs, the first observation of a black-hole binary, and the first test of GR in its strong-field, high-velocity, nonlinear regime. In the remainder of its first observing run, LIGO observed two more signals from black-hole bina- ries, one moderately loud, another at the boundary of statistical significance. The detections mark the end of a decades-long quest and the beginning of GW astronomy: finally, we are able to probe the unseen, electromagnetically dark Universe by listening to it. In this article, we present a short historical overview of GW science: this young discipline combines GR, arguably the crowning achievement of classical physics, with record-setting, ultra-low-noise laser interferometry, and with some of the most powerful developments in the theory of differential geometry, partial differential equations, high-performance computation, numerical analysis, signal processing, statistical inference, and data science.

  • Kinetic Models for the in Situ Reaction Between Cu-Ti Melt and Graphite
    metals Article Kinetic Models for the in Situ Reaction between Cu-Ti Melt and Graphite Lei Guo, Xiaochun Wen and Zhancheng Guo * State Key Laboratory of Advanced Metallurgy, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Xueyuan Road No.30, Haidian District, Beijing 100083, China; [email protected] (L.G.); [email protected] (X.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-135-2244-2020 Received: 16 January 2020; Accepted: 17 February 2020; Published: 18 February 2020 Abstract: The in situ reaction method for preparing metal matrix composites has the advantages of a simple process, good combination of the reinforcing phase and matrix, etc. Based on the mechanism of forming TiCx particles via the dissolution reaction of solid carbon (C) particles in Cu-Ti melt, the kinetic models for C particle dissolution reaction were established. The kinetic models of the dissolution reaction of spherical, cylindrical, and flat C source particles in Cu-Ti melt were deduced, and the expressions of the time for the complete reaction of C source particles of different sizes were obtained. The mathematical relationship between the degree of reaction of C source and the reaction time was deduced by introducing the shape factor. By immersing a cylindrical C rod in a Cu-Ti melt and placing it in a super-gravity field for the dissolution reaction, it was found that the super-gravity field could cause the precipitated TiCx particles to aggregate toward the upper part of the sample under the action of buoyancy. Therefore, the consuming rate of the C rod was significantly accelerated. Based on the flat C source reaction kinetic model, the relationship between the floating speed of TiCx particles in the Cu-Ti melt and the centrifugal velocity (or the coefficient of super-gravity G) was derived.

Mohney Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Electrical Engineering Chair, Intercollege Graduate Degree Program in Materials Science and Engineering * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT For low temperature hydrogen fuel cells to achieve widespread adoption in transport applications, it is necessary to both decrease their cost and improve the range of environmental conditions under which they effectively operate. These problems can be addressed, respectively, by either switching the catalyst from platinum to a less expensive metal, or by reducing the polymer exchange membrane‘s reliance upon water for proton conduction. This work focuses on understanding the chemistry and physics that limit cation stability in alkaline environments and that enable high proton conductivity in anhydrous polymer exchange membranes. Polystyrenic 1H-azoles (including 1H-tetrazole, 1H-1,2,3-triazole, and 1H-imidazoline) were synthesized to investigate whether pKa and pKb of an amophoteric, proton-conductive group have a systematic effect on anhydrous proton conductivity.

This work probes an approach to make highly conducting, highly transparent electrodes using carbon nanotubes. Abstract: The morphology of carbon nanotube (CNT) films is an important factor in the performance of CNT/silicon (CNT/Si) heterojunction solar devices. Films have generally been prepared via vacuum filtration from aqueous suspensions. Whilst this enables strong films to be formed quickly, they are highly disordered on the micron scale, with many charge traps and gaps forming in the films. It has been previously established that lowering the filtration speed enables more ordered films to be formed. The use of slow gravity filtration to improve the morphology of CNT films used in the CNT/Si device is reported here. It was found that slow filtration causes significant macroscale inhomogeneity in the CNT films, with concentrated thick regions, surrounded by larger thinner areas.

  • The Aberrance of the 4S Diastereomer of 4-Hydroxyproline Matthew D
    Published on Web 07/16/2010 The Aberrance of the 4S Diastereomer of 4-Hydroxyproline Matthew D. Shoulders,†,‡ Frank W. Kotch,†,§ Amit Choudhary,⊥ Ilia A. Guzei,† and Ronald T. Raines*,†,| Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and the Graduate Program in Biophysics, UniVersity of WisconsinsMadison, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Received April 16, 2010; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Prolyl 4-hydroxylases install a hydroxyl group in the 4R configuration on the γ-carbon atom of certain (2S)-proline (Pro) residues in tropocollagen, elastin, and other proteins to form (2S,4R)-4- hydroxyproline (Hyp). The gauche effect arising from this prevalent post-translational modification enforces aCγ-exo ring pucker and stabilizes the collagen triple helix. The Hyp diastereomer (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyproline (hyp) has not been observed in a protein, despite the ability of electronegative 4S substituents to enforce the more common Cγ-endo ring pucker of Pro. Here, we use density functional theory, spectroscopy, crystallography, and calorimetry to explore the consequences of hyp incorporation on protein stability using a collagen model system. We find that the 4S-hydroxylation of Pro to form hyp does indeed enforce a Cγ-endo ring pucker but a transannular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl moiety and the carbonyl of hyp distorts the main-chain torsion angles that typically accompany a Cγ-endo ring pucker. This same transannular hydrogen bond enhances an nfπ* interaction that stabilizes the trans conformation of the peptide bond preceding hyp, endowing hyp with the unusual combination of a Cγ-endo ring pucker and high trans/cis ratio. O-Methylation of hyp to form (2S,4S)-4-methoxyproline (mop) eliminates the transannular hydrogen bond and restores a prototypical Cγ-endo pucker.

  • Sieving the Landscape of Gravity Theories
    SISSA — Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati Ph.D. Curriculum in Astrophysics Academic year 2013/2014 Sieving the Landscape of Gravity Theories From the Equivalence Principles to the Near-Planck Regime Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor Philosophiæ Advisors: Candidate: Prof. Stefano Liberati Eolo Di Casola Prof. Sebastiano Sonego 22nd October 2014 Abstract This thesis focusses on three main aspects of the foundations of any theory of gravity where the gravitational field admits a geometric interpretation: (a) the principles of equivalence; (b) their role as selection rules in the landscape of extended theories of gravity; and (c) the possible modifications of the spacetime structure at a “mesoscopic” scale, due to underlying, microscopic-level, quantum- gravitational effects. The first result of the work is the introduction of a formal definition of the Gravitational Weak Equivalence Principle, which expresses the universality of free fall of test objects with non-negligible self-gravity, in a matter-free environ- ment. This principle extends the Galilean universality of free-fall world-lines for test bodies with negligible self-gravity (Weak Equivalence Principle). Second, we use the Gravitational Weak Equivalence Principle to build a sieve for some classes of extended theories of gravity, to rule out all models yielding non-universal free-fall motion for self-gravitating test bodies. When applied to metric theories of gravity in four spacetime dimensions, the method singles out General Relativity (both with and without the cosmological constant term), whereas in higher-dimensional scenarios the whole class of Lanczos–Lovelock gravity theories also passes the test. Finally, we focus on the traditional, manifold-based model of spacetime, and on how it could be modified, at a “mesoscopic” (experimentally attainable) level, by the presence of an underlying, sub-Planckian quantum regime.

A GeometroDynamic Model (GDM) of Reality A Realization of Einstein’s Vision Shlomo Barak Taga Innovations 16 Beit Hillel St. Tel Aviv 670017 Israel Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The current paradigm, despite the successes of the excellent theories that construct it, is facing many obstacles. Many principles remain unproven, attributes of elementary particles cannot be derived and calculated, and mysteries are un-resolved. This situation results from the lack of a deeper underlying theoretical layer that explores the geometrodynamics of space. Our GeometroDynamic Model of reality - the GDM, presented here, is this required layer. The GDM reveals the essence of charge, elementary particles, gravitation, and inertia (mass). It also relates to additional fundamental subjects. The GDM provides derivations and accurate calculations of the radii and masses of elementary particles.

  • Separation, Purification and Identification of the Components of a Mixture Supplementary Material
    Supplementary information for Comprehensive Organic Chemistry Experiments for the Laboratory Classroom © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2017 Separation, purification and identification of the components of a mixture Supplementary Material Experimental notes Background topics……………………………………………………………………………………..1 Experimental details………..………………………………………………………………………….2 Figures Photos of the experiment…………………………………………………………………….…..…….3 IR spectra…………………………………………………….……………………………………..……5 Experimental notes Background topics This experiment does not involve typical chemical reactions of organic compounds, with the exception of acid-base reactions. Its aim is to provide the students the knowledge of fundamental experimental techniques of unitary operations, such as extraction, distillation, filtration, recrystallization and thin layer chromatography. The work (two laboratory sessions) has a low difficulty level and is adequate to introductory level students, especially engineering students (chemical, biochemical, material sciences, biomedical and related areas) or Chemistry students at introductory level. This simple pedagogic experiment was already realized by over 500 students of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology, Universidade Nova de Lisboa (in classes of 22 students/class, 11 groups of two), who accomplished the work in two (2x3 hours) laboratory sessions. The students must be encouraged to rationalise the principles of the unitary operations performed and to understand their application. If this work is a first experiment in an Organic Chemistry laboratory class, every experimental detail must be extensively discussed. Special attention and care must also be given to collection and treatment of results (calculation of Rf values and recuperation “yields”, measurement of physical properties, e.g. melting points). It is also important to encourage the students to compare the experimental results with those referred in the literature. Hints for the answers to the proposed questions and topics to discussion: 1.
