Longitudinal Emittance Blowup In The Large Hadron Collider, P. Baudrenghien, T. Mastoridis Oct 2013

Longitudinal Emittance Blowup In The Large Hadron Collider, P. Baudrenghien, T. Mastoridis

Physics

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) relies on Landau damping for longitudinal stability. To avoid decreasing the stability margin at high energy, the longitudinal emittance must be continuously increased during the acceleration ramp. Longitudinal blowup provides the required emittance growth. The method was implemented through the summer of 2010. Band-limited RF phase-noise is injected in the main accelerating cavities during the whole ramp of about 11 min. Synchrotron frequencies change along the energy ramp, but the digitally created noise tracks the frequency change. The position of the noise-band, relative to the nominal synchrotron frequency, and the bandwidth of the spectrum are …

Road Cuts And Atterberg Limits Of Little Creek Road, Christopher A. Marquis Oct 2013

Road Cuts And Atterberg Limits Of Little Creek Road, Christopher A. Marquis

Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences

This senior project examined road cuts and soil adjacent to the road cut, along Little Creek road. Contrasting a landslide hillslope complex to a hillslope drainage complex, the project also compared the organic soil horizon to the mineral soil horizon in both soil units. The soils were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative measures of soil properties. The project utilized a road cut inventory to note the characteristics of the road cut such as presence of rill erosion, rock outcrop and sloping degree of the road cut. The project derived the plasticity index for both organic and mineral horizons, and compared …


The Stratified Structure Of Spaces Of Smooth Orbifold Mappings, Joseph E. Borzellino, Victor Brunsden Oct 2013

The Stratified Structure Of Spaces Of Smooth Orbifold Mappings, Joseph E. Borzellino, Victor Brunsden

Mathematics

We consider four notions of maps between smooth C∞ orbifolds , with compact (without boundary). We show that one of these notions is natural and necessary in order to uniquely define the notion of orbibundle pullback. For the notion of complete orbifold map, we show that the corresponding set of Cr maps between and with the Cr topology carries the structure of a smooth C∞ Banach (r finite)/Fréchet (r = ∞) manifold. For the notion of complete reduced orbifold map, the corresponding set of Cr maps between and with the Cr topology carries the …


The Effect Of Distribution On Product Temperature Profile In Thermally Insulated Containers For Express Shipments, Jay Singh, Sanjiv Jaggia, Koushik Saha Oct 2013

The Effect Of Distribution On Product Temperature Profile In Thermally Insulated Containers For Express Shipments, Jay Singh, Sanjiv Jaggia, Koushik Saha

Industrial Technology and Packaging

An uninterrupted cold chain is a continual series of storage and distribution activities that maintain a specific temperature or temperature range. Cold chain solutions typically involve excessive packaging to ensure that the desired product temperature is maintained through the distribution process, thereby increasing the logistics-related costs. There is a myriad of solutions available for shipping temperature-sensitive products, including those constructed with a variety of packaging materials as well as refrigerants. Although static characteristics for thermally insulated packaging solutions such as the R-values of package systems as well as the melting points and heat absorption rates of various refrigerants have been …


Bayesian Approach For Uncertainty Analysis Of An Urban Storm Water Model And Its Applications To A Heavily Urbanized Watershed, Misgana K. Muleta, Jonathan Mcmillan, Geremew G. Amenu, Steven J. Burian Oct 2013

Bayesian Approach For Uncertainty Analysis Of An Urban Storm Water Model And Its Applications To A Heavily Urbanized Watershed, Misgana K. Muleta, Jonathan Mcmillan, Geremew G. Amenu, Steven J. Burian

Physics

The significance of uncertainty analysis (UA) to quantify reliability of model simulations is being recognized. Consequently, literature on parameter and predictive uncertainty assessment of water resources models has been rising. Applications dealing with urban drainage systems are, however, very limited. This study applies formal Bayesian approach for uncertainty analysis of a widely used storm water management model and illustrates the methodology using a highly urbanized watershed in the Los Angeles Basin, California. A flexible likelihood function that accommodates heteroscedasticity, non-normality, and temporal correlation of model residuals has been used for the study along with a Markov-chain Monte Carlo-based sampling scheme. …

High Performance Regional Ocean Modeling With Gpu Acceleration, Ian Panzer, Spencer Lines, Jason Mak, Paul Choboter, Chris Lupo Sep 2013

High Performance Regional Ocean Modeling With Gpu Acceleration, Ian Panzer, Spencer Lines, Jason Mak, Paul Choboter, Chris Lupo

Computer Science and Software Engineering

The Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is an open-source, free-surface, primitive equation ocean model used by the scientific community for a diverse range of applications [1]. ROMS employs sophisticated numerical techniques, including a split-explicit time-stepping scheme that treats the fast barotropic (2D) and slow baroclinic (3D) modes separately for improved efficiency [2]. ROMS also contains a suite of data assimilation tools that allow the user to improve the accuracy of a simulation by incorporating observational data. These tools are based on four dimensional variational methods [3], which generate reliable results, but require more computational resources than without any assimilation of …

The Effects Of Temperature And Ovarian Stage On Vitellin Concentrations In Sicyonia Ingentis, Lacee Sherman, Brian Tsukimura, Robert Delmanowski, Alan Terusaki Sep 2013

The Effects Of Temperature And Ovarian Stage On Vitellin Concentrations In Sicyonia Ingentis, Lacee Sherman, Brian Tsukimura, Robert Delmanowski, Alan Terusaki

STAR Program Research Presentations

The ridgeback shrimp, Sicyonia ingentis, lives off of the west coast of North America along the shorelines of California, and Baja California and is a source of both revenue and food for residents of the area. The reproductive abilities of S. ingentis are crucial to the survival of the species. Vitellin (Vn) is an egg yolk protein found in the ovaries of reproductive shrimp and can also be seen in their hemolymph. This study examines temperature as a factor influencing the reproductive fitness of S. ingentis. The synthesis of Vitellin is a good indicator of reproductive fitness and the concentrations …
