1,3-Alternate Calix[4]Arene Nitronyl Nitroxide Tetraradical And Diradical: Synthesis, X-Ray Crystallography, Paramagnetic Nmr Spectroscopy, Epr Spectroscopy, And Magnetic Studies, Andrzej Rajca, Maren Pink, Sumit Mukherjee, Suchada Rajca, Kausik Das

Andrzej Rajca Publications

Calix[4]arenes constrained to 1,3-alternate conformation and functionalized at the upper rim with four and two nitronyl nitroxides have been synthesized, and characterized by X-ray crystallography, magnetic resonance (EPR and ¹H NMR) spectroscopy, and magnetic studies. Such calix[4]arene tetraradicals and diradicals provide scaffolds for throughbond and through-space intramolecular exchange couplings.

Includes Supplemental Data (27 pages).

A Note On Targeted Maximum Likelihood And Right Censored Data, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Daniel Rubin

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

A popular way to estimate an unknown parameter is with substitution, or evaluating the parameter at a likelihood based fit of the data generating density. In many cases, such estimators have substantial bias and can fail to converge at the parametric rate. van der Laan and Rubin (2006) introduced targeted maximum likelihood learning, removing these shackles from substitution estimators, which were made in full agreement with the locally efficient estimating equation procedures as presented in Robins and Rotnitzsky (1992) and van der Laan and Robins (2003). This note illustrates how targeted maximum likelihood can be applied in right censored data …

Comparing Three Methods For Teaching Newton’S Third Law, Trevor I. Smith, Michael C. Wittmann

College of Science & Mathematics Departmental Research

Although guided-inquiry methods for teaching introductory physics have been individually shown to be more effective at improving conceptual understanding than traditional lecture-style instruction, researchers in physics education have not studied differences among reform-based curricula in much detail. Several researchers have developed University of Washington–style tutorial materials, but the different curricula have not been compared against each other. Our study examines three tutorials designed to improve student understanding of Newton’s third law: the University of Washington’s Tutorials in Introductory Physics (TIP), the University of Maryland’s Activity-Based Tutorials (ABT), and the Open Source Tutorials (OST) also developed at the University of Maryland. …

Success Factors Of Women Who Have Achieved Positions Of Command In Law Enforcement, Karin Montejo

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

Women in law enforcement have increased their numbers in entry level and mid-management positions during the past 25 years. However, they have not found parity with their male counterparts in attaining positions of top command and are still notably under-represented. This study reports the results of a nationwide survey of women in law enforcement who have attained at least one supervisory rank. The study participants provided responses to a series of questions identifying their investment in human capital, and whether it impacted their promotional opportunities. Human capital theory addresses individual investment in targeted areas of types of assignments, training, education …

Search For New Particles Leading To Z+Jets Final States In Pp̄ Collisions At S=1.96tev, T. Aaltonen, A. Abulencia, J. Adelman, T. Affolder, T. Akimoto, M. G. Albrow, S. Amerio, D. Amidei, A.

We present the results of a search for new particles that lead to a Z boson plus jets in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV using the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF II). A data sample with a luminosity of 1.06fb-1 collected using Z boson decays to ee and μμ is used. We describe a completely data-based method to predict the dominant background from standard model Z+jet events. This method can be similarly applied to other analyses requiring background predictions in multijet environments, as shown when validating the method by predicting the background from W+jets in tt̄ production. No significant excess above …

Optical Dilution And Feedback Cooling Of A Gram-Scale Oscillator To 6.9 Mk, Thomas Corbitt, Christopher Wipf, Timothy Bodiya, David Ottaway, Daniel Sigg, Nicolas Smith, Stanley Whitcomb, Nergis Mavalvala

Faculty Publications

We report on the use of a radiation pressure induced restoring force, the optical spring effect, to optically dilute the mechanical damping of a 1 g suspended mirror, which is then cooled by active feedback (cold damping). Optical dilution relaxes the limit on cooling imposed by mechanical losses, allowing the oscillator mode to reach a minimum temperature of 6.9 mK, a factor of ∼40000 below the environmental temperature. A further advantage of the optical spring effect is that it can increase the number of oscillations before decoherence by several orders of magnitude. In the present experiment we infer an increase …
