Finite Element Modelling Of Moisture Movement In Concrete Floors, Niall Holmes, Roger West Sep 2003

Finite Element Modelling Of Moisture Movement In Concrete Floors, Niall Holmes, Roger West

Conference papers

Predictive methods for determining the point at which it is safe to apply floor coverings to concrete floors can save time and money for the client, contractor and the floor installer. The current standard states that impervious floor coverings should not be applied until the surface of the floor reaches a relative humidity (RH) of 75%, established using a surface hygrometer test. Tests at Trinity College Dublin on drying concrete slabs in natural and forced drying environments show that there is a large variation in the residue of moisture deep in the concrete when the floor covering is applied, particularly …

Analysis Of Resonance Structure In The Above-Threshold Ionization Photoelectron Spectra Of Magnesium, Glen D. Gillen, L D. Van Woerkom Sep 2003

Analysis Of Resonance Structure In The Above-Threshold Ionization Photoelectron Spectra Of Magnesium, Glen D. Gillen, L D. Van Woerkom

Physics

Using high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy and 120-fs, 800-nm Ti:sapphire laser pulses, we observe and analyze intensity-dependent resonant population of specific intermediate excited states of neutral magnesium atoms and their subsequent photoionization in the laser field. Various participating states are identified using angular-momentum selection rules, partial yields, and angular distributions. Several unexpected results are observed and discussed, including peaks that do not correspond to expected resonant processes, and order-to-order variations in the photoelectron spectra.

Driven Depinning Of Strongly Disordered Media And Anisotropic Mean-Field Limits, M. Christina Marchetti, A. Alan Middleton, Karl Saunders, J. M. Schwarz Sep 2003

Driven Depinning Of Strongly Disordered Media And Anisotropic Mean-Field Limits, M. Christina Marchetti, A. Alan Middleton, Karl Saunders, J. M. Schwarz

Physics

Extended systems driven through strong disorder are modeled generically using coarse-grained degrees of freedom that interact elastically in the directions parallel to the drive and slip along at least one of the directions transverse to the motion. In the limit of infinite-range elastic and viscous coupling this model has a tricritical point separating a region where the depinning is continuous, in the universality class of elastic depinning, from a region where depinning is hysteretic. Many of the collective transport models discussed in the literature are special cases of the generic model.

Asymptotically Optimal Model Selection Method With Right Censored Outcomes, Sunduz Keles, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Sandrine Dudoit Sep 2003

Asymptotically Optimal Model Selection Method With Right Censored Outcomes, Sunduz Keles, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Sandrine Dudoit

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Over the last two decades, non-parametric and semi-parametric approaches that adapt well known techniques such as regression methods to the analysis of right censored data, e.g. right censored survival data, became popular in the statistics literature. However, the problem of choosing the best model (predictor) among a set of proposed models (predictors) in the right censored data setting have not gained much attention. In this paper, we develop a new cross-validation based model selection method to select among predictors of right censored outcomes such as survival times. The proposed method considers the risk of a given predictor based on the …

Scale Invariance Without Inflation?, Christian Armendariz-Picon, Eugene A. Lim Sep 2003

Scale Invariance Without Inflation?, Christian Armendariz-Picon, Eugene A. Lim

Physics - All Scholarship

We propose a new alternative mechanism to seed a scale invariant spectrum of primordial density perturbations that does not rely on inflation. In our scenario, a perfect fluid dominates the early stages of an expanding, non-inflating universe. Because the speed of sound of the fluid decays, perturbations are left frozen behind the sound horizon, with a spectral index that depends on the fluid equation of state. We explore here a toy model that realizes this idea. Although the model can explain an adiabatic, Gaussian, scale invariant spectrum of primordial perturbations, it turns out that in its simplest form it cannot …

Pressure-Induced Insulating State In An Organic Superconductor, Gary L. Gard, Javid Mohtasham, J. A. Schlueter, C. Pfleiderer, J. Wosnitza, J. Hagel Sep 2003

Pressure-Induced Insulating State In An Organic Superconductor, Gary L. Gard, Javid Mohtasham, J. A. Schlueter, C. Pfleiderer, J. Wosnitza, J. Hagel

Chemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations

The electronic-transport properties of the quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor β″–(BEDT-TTF)₂SF₅CH₂CF₂SO₃, where BEDT-TTF stands for bisethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalene, have been investigated in magnetic fields up to 15 T and under hydrostatic pressure up to about 14 kbars. Shubnikov–de Haas data reveal a nonmonotonic pressure dependence of the holelike Fermi surface, a roughly linear increase of the electron g factor, and an approximately linear decrease of the cyclotron effective mass. By assuming that the latter reflects the pressure-induced reduction of the superconducting coupling parameter λ the rapid reduction of the superconducting transition temperature Tc(p) can be reasonably well described by the modified McMillan equation. Above …

The Anchor, Volume 117.03: September 3, 2003, Hope College

The Anchor: 2003

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.

High-Throughput 3d Homology Detection Via Nmr Resonance Assignment, Christopher James Langmead, Bruce Randall Donald Sep 2003

High-Throughput 3d Homology Detection Via Nmr Resonance Assignment, Christopher James Langmead, Bruce Randall Donald

Computer Science Technical Reports

One goal of the structural genomics initiative is the identification of new protein folds. Sequence-based structural homology prediction methods are an important means for prioritizing unknown proteins for structure determination. However, an important challenge remains: two highly dissimilar sequences can have similar folds --- how can we detect this rapidly, in the context of structural genomics? High-throughput NMR experiments, coupled with novel algorithms for data analysis, can address this challenge. We report an automated procedure, called HD, for detecting 3D structural homologies from sparse, unassigned protein NMR data. Our method identifies 3D models in a protein structural database whose geometries …

An Improved Nuclear Vector Replacement Algorithm For Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Assignment, Christopher James Langmead, Bruce Randall Donald Sep 2003

An Improved Nuclear Vector Replacement Algorithm For Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Assignment, Christopher James Langmead, Bruce Randall Donald

Computer Science Technical Reports

We report an improvement to the Nuclear Vector Replacement (NVR) algorithm for high-throughput Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) resonance assignment. The new algorithm improves upon our earlier result in terms of accuracy and computational complexity. In particular, the new NVR algorithm assigns backbone resonances without error (100% accuracy) on the same test suite examined in [Langmead and Donald J. Biomol. NMR 2004], and runs in $O(n^{5/2} \log {(cn)})$ time where $n$ is the number of amino acids in the primary sequence of the protein, and $c$ is the maximum edge weight in an integer-weighted bipartite graph.

Tree-Based Multivariate Regression And Density Estimation With Right-Censored Data , Annette M. Molinaro, Sandrine Dudoit, Mark J. Van Der Laan

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

We propose a unified strategy for estimator construction, selection, and performance assessment in the presence of censoring. This approach is entirely driven by the choice of a loss function for the full (uncensored) data structure and can be stated in terms of the following three main steps. (1) Define the parameter of interest as the minimizer of the expected loss, or risk, for a full data loss function chosen to represent the desired measure of performance. Map the full data loss function into an observed (censored) data loss function having the same expected value and leading to an efficient estimator …
