Neutrosophic Superhyperalgebra And New Types Of Topologies, Florentin Smarandache, Memet Sahin, Derya Bakbak, Vakkas Uluçay, Abdullah Kargı

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In general, a system S (that may be a company, association, institution, society, country, etc.) is formed by sub-systems Si { or P(S), the powerset of S }, and each sub-system Si is formed by sub-sub-systems Sij { or P(P(S)) = P^2(S) } and so on.

That’s why the n-th PowerSet of a Set S { defined recursively and denoted by P^n(S) = P(P^(n-1)(S) } was introduced, to better describes the organization of people, beings, objects etc. in our real world.

The n-th PowerSet was used in defining the SuperHyperOperation, SuperHyperAxiom, and their corresponding Neutrosophic SuperHyperOperation, Neutrosophic SuperHyperAxiom in order …

High-momentum configurations of nucleon pairs at short-distance are probed using measurements of the C-12(e, e' p) and C-12(e, e' pN) reactions (where N is either n or p), at high-Q(2) and x(B) > 1.1. The data span a missing-momentum range of 300-1000 MeV/c and are predominantly sensitive to the transition region of the strong nuclear interaction from a Tensor to Scalar interaction. The data are well reproduced by theoretical calculations using the Generalized Contact Formalism with both chiral and phenomenological nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction models. This agreement suggests that the measured high missing-momentum protons up to 1000 MeV/c predominantly belong to short-ranged …

Measuring The Perceived Leasing Price Of Empty Container In Shipping System, Hao Hu, Bo Du, Mehrdad Amirghasemi

SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers

The container shipping activity has increased significantly with the growth of world economy and global trade. However, due to the imbalance of global trade, there is always an imbalance between import and export containers, which results in that some ports have a surplus of empty containers while the others have a deficit. At a surplus port, storage cost and repositioning cost for shipping companies increase inevitably; while at a deficit port, shipping companies have to lease or purchase empty containers to meet customers’ demand. Empty container repositioning is one of the most effective ways to solve such imbalance problem, however …

Cooperative positioning (CP) utilises information sharing among multiple nodes to enable positioning in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-denied environments. This paper reports the performance of a CP system for pedestrians using Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology in GNSS-denied environments. This data set was collected as part of a benchmarking measurement campaign carried out at the Ohio State University in October 2017. Pedestrians were equipped with a variety of sensors, including two different UWB systems, on a specially designed helmet serving as a mobile multi-sensor platform for CP. Different users were walking in stop-and-go mode along trajectories with predefined checkpoints and under …

Assessing Infrastructure System Of Systems Integrity, Ricardo Peculis, Farid Shirvani, Pascal Perez

SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers

Infrastructure refers to the fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city, or area, including the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function. Infrastructure systems typically consist of interrelated constituent systems forming what is known as system of systems (SoS). Infrastructure systems present numerous challenges throughout their lifecycles. This paper addresses one of these challenges that is presented during operation, when managers need to report 'how well' the system is performing and finding ways to address the consequences of unexpected events that often degrade the intended performance. This state of system 'wellbeing' will be referred as system integrity …

Infrastructure System Of Systems Integrity, Ricardo Peculis, Farid Shirvani

SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers

Infrastructure systems typically consist of technical structures comprising of physical and operational components of interrelated constituent systems forming what is now known as system of systems (SOS). The complexity and uncertainty of unforeseen events that are inherent characteristic of infrastructure systems makes it impossible to predict undesirable emergent behaviours that could push the operation of such systems away from their intended purposes. Infrastructure systems present numerous challenges throughout their lifecycles. This paper addresses one of these challenges that is presented during operation, when managers need to report 'how well' the system is performing and find ways to address the consequences …

Water Vapour Variability In The High-Latitude Upper Troposphere- Part 2: Impact Of Volcanic Eruptions, Christopher E. Sioris, Jason Zou, C. Thomas Mcelroy, Chris D. Boone, Patrick E. Sheese, Peter F. Bernath

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Publications

The impact of volcanic eruptions on water vapour in the high-latitude upper troposphere is studied using deseasonalized time series based on observations by the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) water vapour sensors, namely MAESTRO (Measurements of Aerosol Extinction in the Stratosphere and Troposphere Retrieved by Occultation) and the Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS). The two eruptions with the greatest impact on the high-latitude upper troposphere during the time frame of this satellitebased remote sensing mission are chosen. The Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic eruption in June 2011 was the most explosive in the past 24 years and is shown to be able to account …

Global Stratospheric Measurements Of The Isotopologues Of Methane From The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer, Eric M. Buzan, Chris A. Beale, Chris. D. Boone, Peter F. Bernath

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Publications

This paper presents an analysis of observations of methane and its two major isotopologues, CH₃D and ¹³CH₄, from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite between 2004 and 2013. Additionally, atmospheric methane chemistry is modeled using the Whole Atmospheric Community Climate Model (WACCM). ACE retrievals of methane extend from 6 km for all isotopologues to 75 km for ¹²CH₄, 35 km for CH₃D, and 50 km for ¹³CH₄. While total methane concentrations retrieved from ACE agree well with the model, values of δD-CH₄ and δ¹³C-CH …

First Measurement Of The Helicity Asymmetry E In Ƞ Photoproduction On The Proton, I. Senderovich, B.T. Morrison, M. Dugger, B.G. Ritchie, E. Pasyuk, R. Tucker, J. Brock, C. Carlin, C.D. Keith, D. G. Meekins, Y. Prok

Physics Faculty Publications

Results are presented for the first measurement of the double-polarization helicity asymmetry E for the ƞ photoproduction reaction ɣp -> ηp. Data were obtained using the FROzen Spin Target (FROST) with the CLAS spectrometer in Hall B at Jefferson Lab, covering a range of center-of-mass energy W from threshold to 2.15 GeV and a large range in center-of-mass polar angle. As an initial application of these data, the results have been incorporated into the Jülich-Bonn model to examine the case for the existence of a narrow N* resonance between 1.66 and 1.70 GeV. The addition of these data to the …

Modelling The Response Of Ice Shelf Basal Melting To Different Ocean Cavity Environmental Regimes, David E. Gwyther, Eva A. Cougnon, Benjamin K. Galton-Fenzi, Jason L. Roberts, John R. Hunter, Michael S. Dinniman

CCPO Publications

We present simulation results from a version of the Regional Ocean Modeling System modified for ice shelf/ocean interaction, including the parameterisation of basal melting by molecular diffusion alone. Simulations investigate the differences in melting for an idealised ice shelf experiencing a range of cold to hot ocean cavity conditions. Both the pattern of melt and the location of maximum melt shift due to changes in the buoyancy-driven circulation, in a different way to previous studies. Tidal forcing increases both the circulation strength and melting, with the strongest impact on the cold cavity case. Our results highlight the importance of including …

Powerforecaster: Predicting Power Impact Of Mobile Sensing Applications At Pre-Installation Time, Chulhong Min, Youngki Lee, Chungkuk Yoo, Seungwoo Kang, Inseok Hwang, Junehwa Song

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Today's smartphone application (hereinafter 'app') markets miss a key piece of information, power consumption of apps. This causes a severe problem for continuous sensing apps as they consume significant power without users' awareness. Users have no choice but to repeatedly install one app after another and experience their power use. To break such an exhaustive cycle, we propose PowerForecaster, a system that provides users with power use of sensing apps at pre-installation time. Such advanced power estimation is extremely challenging since the power cost of a sensing app largely varies with users' physical activities and phone use patterns. We observe …

Sr2Ir1−XRhXO4(X<0.5): An Inhomogeneous JEff=1/2 Hubbard System, Shalinee Chikara, Daniel Haskel, Jae-Hoon Sim, Heung-Sik Kim, Cheng-Chien Chen, G. Fabbris, L. S. I. Veiga, N. M. Souza-Neto, Jsaminka Terzic, Kamal H. Butrouna, Gang Cao, Myung Joon Han, Michael Van Veenendaal

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

In a combined experimental and theoretical study, we investigate the properties of Sr₂Ir_1−xRh_xO₄. From the branching ratios of the L-edge isotropic x-ray absorption spectra, we determine that the spin-orbit coupling is remarkably independent of x for both iridium and rhodium sites. DFT+U calculations show that the doping is close to isoelectronic and introduces impurity bands of predominantly rhodium character close to the lower Hubbard band. Overlap of these two bands leads to metallic behavior. Since the low-energy states for xj_eff=1/2 character, we suggest that the electronic …

First Measurement Of The Polarization Observable E In The P→ (Ɣ→, Π+) In Reaction Up To 2.25 Gev, S. Strauch, W. J. Briscoe, M. Döring, E. Klempt, V. A. Nikonov, E. Pasyuk, D. Rönchen, A.V. Sarantsev, I. Strakovsky, R. Workman, K. P. Adhikari, D. Adikaram, L. El Fassi

Physics Faculty Publications

First results from the longitudinally polarized frozen-spin target (FROST) program are reported. The double-polarization observable E, for the reaction ɣ^→p^→→π+n, has been measured using a circularly polarized tagged-photon beam, with energies from 0.35 to 2.37 GeV. The final-state pions were detected with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. These polarization data agree fairly well with previous partial-wave analyses at low photon energies. Over much of the covered energy range, however, significant deviations are observed, particularly in the high-energy region where high-L multipoles contribute. The data have been …

Integrating A Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Up-Conversion System To Enhance Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Response To Sub-Bandgap Light, Andrew Nattestad, Yuen Yap Cheng, R Macqueen, Gordon G. Wallace, Timothy Schmidt

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

The poor response of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) to red and infrared light is a significant impediment to the realization of higher photocurrents and hence higher efficiencies. Photon up-conversion by way of triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) is an attractive technique for using these otherwise wasted low energy photons to produce photocurrent, while not interfering with the photoanodic performance in a deleterious manner. Further to this, TTA-UC has a number of features, distinct from other reported photon up-conversion technologies, which renders it particularly suitable for coupling with DSC technology. In this work, a proven high performance TTA-UC system, comprising a palladium porphyrin …

Modelling The Rejection Of N-Nitrosamines By A Spiral-Wound Reverse Osmosis System: Mathematical Model Development And Validation, Takahiro Fujioka, Stuart J. Khan, James A. Mcdonald, Annalie Roux, Yvan Poussade, Jorg E. Drewes, Long D. Nghiem

SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers

A mathematical model was developed based on the irreversible thermodynamic principle and hydro- dynamic calculation to predict the rejection of N-nitrosamines by spiral-wound reverse osmosis (RO) membrane systems. The developed model is able to accurately describe the rejection of N-nitrosamines under a range of permeate flux and system recovery conditions. The modelled N-nitrosamine rejections were in good agreement with values obtained experimentally using a pilot-scale RO filtration system. Simulation from the model revealed that an increase in permeate flux from10 to 30L/m2h led to an increase in the rejection of low molecular weight N-nitrosamines such as N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) (from31% to …

Synthesis Of Potential Theranostic System Consisting Of Methotrexate-Immobilized (3-Aminopropyl)Trimethoxysilane Coated Α-Bi2o3 Nanoparticles For Cancer Treatment, Kathrin Bogusz, Moeava Tehei, Callum Stewart, Marjorie Mcdonald, Dean Cardillo, Michael Lerch, Stephanie Corde, Anatoly Rosenfeld, Hua-Kun Liu, Konstantin Konstantinov

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

In this study we present the synthesis of a new theranostic system consisting of a core-shell structured nanoceramic-drug conjugate that can potentially combine chemotherapeutic, targeting, diagnostic and radio dose enhancing features in cancer treatment. The conjugate is made of α-Bi2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) which were first coated with (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTMS) to form a core-shell structure and then attached with methotrexate (MTX) through amidation between the amine moieties on the shell and the carboxylic acid groups on MTX. While α-Bi2O3 NPs with high effective atomic number can serve as both contrast agent and radiosensitiser in dose enhancement radiation therapy, MTX as an …

Magnetic Transitions And The Magnetocaloric Effect In The Pr 1-Xyxmn2ge2 System, Jianli Wang, S J. Campbell, M F. Md Din, S J. Kennedy, M Hofmann

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

Layered rare earth compounds in the RMn2X2 series (R = rare-earth; X = Ge, Si) are of interest for potential cooling applications at lower temperatures as they enable the structural and magnetic behavior to be controlled via substitution of R, Mn, and X atoms on the 2a, 4d, and 4e sites respectively. We continue investigations of the Pr1−xYxMn2Ge2 magnetic phase diagram as functions of both composition and Mn-Mn spacing using X-ray and neutron diffraction, magnetization and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. Pr1−xYxMn2Ge2 exhibits an extended region of re-entrant ferromagnetism around x ∼ 0.5 with re-entrant ferromagnetism at inline image for Pr0.5Y0.5Mn2Ge2. …

Dielectron Azimuthal Anisotrophy At Mid-Rapidity In Au+Au Collisions At √ˢᶰᶰ = 200 Gev, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, S. Bültmann, I Koralt, Star Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

We report on the first measurement of the azimuthal anisotropy v₂ of dielectrons (e⁺e^- pairs) at mid-rapidity from √ˢᶰᶰ = 200 GeV Au + Au collisions with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), presented as a function of transverse momentum p_T for different invariant-mass regions. In the mass region M_ee < 1.1 GeV/c² the dielectron v₂measurements are found to be consistent with expectations from π⁰, η, ω, and Φ decay contributions. In the mass region 1.1 < M_ee < 2.9 GeV/c², the measured dielectron v₂is consistent, within experimental …

Exclusive Πᵒ Electroproduction At W > 2 Gev With Clas, I. Bedlinskiy, K. P. Adhikari, L. El Fassi, A. Klein, S. E. Kuhn, Clas Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

Exclusive neutral-pion electroproduction (ep → e'p'π⁰ was measured at Jefferson Lab with a 5.75-GeV electron beam and the CLAS detector. Differential cross sections d⁴σ/dtdQ²dx_BdΦ_π and structure functions σ_T+ ϵσ_L, σ_TT, and σ_LT as functions of t were obtained over a wide range of Q² and x_B. The data are compared with Regge and handbag theoretical calculations. Analyses in both frameworks find that a large dominance of transverse processes is necessary to explain the experimental results. For the Regge analysis it is found …

J/Ψ Production At Low Pᵀ In Au + Au And Cu + Cu Collisions At √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 Gev With The Star Detector, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, S. Bültmann, I. Koralt, Star Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

The J/ψ p_T spectrum and nuclear modification factor (R_AA) are reported for p_T < 5 GeV/c and |y| < 1 from 0% to 60% central Au + Au and Cu + Cu collisions at √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 GeV at STAR. A significant suppression of p_T - integrated J/ψ production is observed in central Au + Au events. The Cu + Cu data are consistent with no suppression, although the precision is limited by the available statistics. R_AA in Au + Au collisions exhibits a strong suppression at low transverse momentum and gradually increases with p_T. The data are compared to high-p_T STAR results and previously published BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider results. Comparing with model calculations, it is found that the invariant yields …

The Fifth Function Of University: “Neutrosophic E-Function” Of Communication-Collaboration-Integration Of University In The Information Age, Florentin Smarandache, Stefan Vladutescu

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

The study is based on the following hypothesis with practical foundation: - Premise 1 - if two members of university on two continents meet on the Internet and initiate interdisciplinary scientific communication; - Premise 2 - subsequently, if within the curricular interests they develop an academic scientific collaboration; - Premise 3 - if the so-called collaboration integrates the interests of other members of the university; - Premise 4 - finally, if the university allows, accepts, validates and promotes such an approach; - Conclusion: then it means the university as a system (the global academic system) has, and it is, exerting …

Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem In An Isolated System Of Quantum Dipolar Bosons After A Quench, Ehsan Khatami, Guido Pupillo, Mark Srednicki, Marcos Rigol

Faculty Publications

We examine the validity of fluctuation-dissipation relations in isolated quantum systems taken out of equilibrium by a sudden quench. We focus on the dynamics of trapped hard-core bosons in one-dimensional lattices with dipolar interactions whose strength is changed during the quench. We find indications that fluctuation-dissipation relations hold if the system is nonintegrable after the quench, as well as if it is integrable after the quench if the initial state is an equilibrium state of a nonintegrable Hamiltonian. On the other hand, we find indications that they fail if the system is integrable both before and after quenching.

Cost Effectiveness Of Recycling: A Systems Model, David J. Tonjes, Sreekanth Mallikarjun

Technology & Society Faculty Publications

Financial analytical models of waste management systems have often found that recycling costs exceed direct benefits, and in order to economically justify recycling activities, externalities such as household expenses or environmental impacts must be invoked. Certain more empirically based studies have also found that recycling is more expensive than disposal. Other work, both through models and surveys, have found differently. Here we present an empirical systems model, largely drawn from a suburban Long Island municipality. The model accounts for changes in distribution of effort as recycling tonnages displace disposal tonnages, and the seven different cases examined all show that curbside …

Improved Dehydrogenation Properties Of The Combined Mg(Bh4) 2·6nh3-Nnh3bh3 System, Xiaowei Chen, Feng Yuan, Qinfen Gu, Yingbin Tan, Hua-Kun Liu, S X. Dou, Xuebin Yu

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

A combined strategy via mixing Mg(BH4)2·6NH3 with ammonia borane (AB) is employed to improve the dehydrogenation properties of Mg(BH4)2·6NH3. The combined system shows a mutual dehydrogenation improvement in terms of dehydrogenation temperature and hydrogen purity compared to the individual components. A further improved hydrogen liberation from the Mg(BH4)2·6NH3–6AB is achieved with the assistance of ZnCl2, which plays a crucial role in stabilizing the NH3 groups and promoting the recombination of NHδ+⋯HBδ−. Specifically, the Mg(BH4)2·6NH3–6AB/ZnCl2 (with a mole ratio of 1:0.5) composite is shown to release over 7 wt.% high-pure hydrogen (>99 mol%) at 95 °C within 10 min, thereby …

Beam Asymmetry Σ For Π+ And Π0 Photoproduction On The Proton For Photon Energies From 1.102 To 1.862 Gev, K. P. Adhikari, D. Adikaram, M. J. Amaryan, C. S. Nepali, Y. Prok, Clas Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

Beam asymmetries for the reactions ˠp -> pπ⁰ and ˠp -> nπ⁺have been measured with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) and a tagged, linearly polarized photon beam with energies from 1.102-1.862 GeV. A Fourier moment technique for extracting beam asymmetries from experimental data is described. The results reported here possess greater precision and finer energy resolution than previous measurements. Our data for both pion reactions appear to favor the SAID and Bonn-Gatchina scattering analyses over the older Mainz MAID predictions. After incorporating the present set of beam asymmetries into the world database, exploratory fits made with …
