Thermal And Magnetic Properties Of The Low-Temperature Antiferromagnet Ce4 Pt12 Sn25, Nobuyuki Kurita, Han Oh Lee, Yoshi Tokiwa, Corneliu F. Miclea, Eric D. Bauer, Filip Ronning, J. D. Thompson, Zachary Fisk, Pei Chun Ho, M. Brian Maple, Pinaki Sengupta, Ilya Vekhter, Roman Movshovich

Faculty Publications

We report specific heat (C) and magnetization (M) of single crystalline Ce4 Pt12 Sn25 at temperature down to ∼50 mK and in fields up to 3 T. C/T exhibits a sharp anomaly at 180 mK, with a large ΔC/T∼30 J/molCe K2, which, together with the corresponding cusplike magnetization anomaly, indicates an antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state with a Néel temperature TN =180 mK. Numerical calculations based on a Heisenberg model reproduce both zero-field C and M data, thus placing Ce 4 Pt12 Sn25 in the weak exchange coupling J< Jc limit of the Doniach diagram, with a very small Kondo scale TK TN. Magnetic field suppresses the AFM state at H⊃ ≈0.7 T, much more effectively than expected from the Heisenberg model, indicating additional effects possibly due to frustration or residual Kondo screening. © 2010 The American Physical Society.

Systematic Approach To Electrostatically Induced 2d Crystallization Of Nanoparticles At Liquid Interfaces, Sumit Kewalramani, Suntao Wang, Yuan Lin, Huong Giang Nguyen, Qian Wang, Masafumi Fukuto, Lin Yang

Faculty Publications

We report an experimental demonstration of a strategy for inducing two-dimensional (2D)crystallization of charged nanoparticles on oppositely charged fluid interfaces. This strategy aims to maximize the interfacial adsorption of nanoparticles, and hence their lateral packing density, by utilizing a combination of weakly charged particles and a high surface charge density on the planar interface. In order to test this approach, we investigated the assembly of cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) on positively charged lipid monolayers at the aqueous solution surface, by means of in situX-ray scattering measurements at the liquid–vapor interface. Theassembly was studied as a function of the solution …

Shelf Edge Tide Correlated Eddies Along The Southeastern United States, Dana K. Savidge, Jonathan Norman, Colton Smith, Julie A. Amft, Trent Moore, Catherine Edwards, George Voulgaris

Faculty Publications

High frequency radar observations in the Southeastern United States have revealed sequences of small short‐lived cyclonic eddies along the shoreward edge of the Gulf Stream, that spin up as the local tide turns alongshelf antiparallel to the Stream. Eddies propagate equatorward along the shelf edge, sometimes progressing shoreward before dissipating one to three hours later. They are distinctly different from Gulf Stream meander eddies, which propagate poleward. In this article, radar and mooring data are used to establish three important aspects of these neweddies: they represent an instability process operating at a previously unidentified frequency, scale, and cross‐Stream position; they …

Cryomicroscopic Investigations Of Freezing Processes In Cell Suspensions, Tathagata Acharya, Ram V. Devireddy

Faculty Publications

This study evaluates the freezing response of three different cell types, Pacific oyster embryos (∼50 m in diameter), Jurkat cells and HeLa cells (∼12 to 15 m's in diameter), using cryomicroscopy. Freezing experiments were performed on oyster embryos at cooling rates of either 5 or 10 °C/min, while Jurkats were cooled at either 1 or 10 °C/min and HeLa cells were cooled at either 1, 15 or 20 °C/min, respectively. The experiments with oyster embryos were primarily designed to investigate the phenomena of intracellular ice formation (IIF) while the experiments for Jurkat and HeLa cells were designed to investigate both …

Constructive Ontology Engineering, William L. Sousan

Student Work

The proliferation of the Semantic Web depends on ontologies for knowledge sharing, semantic annotation, data fusion, and descriptions of data for machine interpretation. However, ontologies are difficult to create and maintain. In addition, their structure and content may vary depending on the application and domain. Several methods described in literature have been used in creating ontologies from various data sources such as structured data in databases or unstructured text found in text documents or HTML documents. Various data mining techniques, natural language processing methods, syntactical analysis, machine learning methods, and other techniques have been used in building ontologies with automated …

Improved Measurement And Separation Techniques For Interior Near-Field Acoustical Holography, Zachary A. Collins

Theses and Dissertations

Recent advances in near-field acoustical holography (NAH) have expanded the theory to interior spaces where multiple sources and/or reflections are present. In 1990, Tamura presented the spatial Fourier transform separation method to measure the reflection coefficient at oblique angles using two measurement planes in the wave number domain. This paper adapts the spatial Fourier transform separation method for application in interior NAH. A practical exploration of important experimental parameters is performed, which include the relative amplitudes of primary and disturbing sources, the measurement plane separation distance, and an acceptable noise floor. This technique is successfully applied in a reverberant environment …

Morphological Specification Of Chinianella Scheympflugi Hofmann, 1994, A Late Jurassic (?Earliest Cretaceous) Dasycladalean Alga Of The Western Tethyan Domain, Felix Schlagintweit

Studia UBB Geologia

The dasycladalean alga Chinianella? scheympflugi was described by Hofmann (1994) from the Tithonian of the Ernstbrunn Limestone of Lower Austria. This alga, so far unreported besides its type-locality, is reported from the Late Jurassic of Poland, the Northern Calcareous Alps of Austria, Crimea (Ukraine), and Greece (Parnassos Zone). Facies are well-agitated outer platform habitats (peri-reefal and back-reefal facies). The cylindrical thallus consists of three parts: a sterile Salpingoporella-like basal part (stalk), a fertile Chinianella-type main portion and a short sterile top part. The transition from the stalk to the main thallus portion is well marked and abrupt. The stratigraphic range …

Rethinking Geometrical Exactness, Marco Panza

MPP Published Research

A crucial concern of early modern geometry was fixing appropriate norms for deciding whether some objects, procedures, or arguments should or should not be allowed into it. According to Bos, this is the exactness concern. I argue that Descartes’s way of responding to this concern was to suggest an appropriate conservative extension of Euclid’s plane geometry (EPG). In Section 2, I outline the exactness concern as, I think, it appeared to Descartes. In Section 3, I account for Descartes’s views on exactness and for his attitude towards the most common sorts of constructions in classical geometry. I also explain in …

The Distribution Of Dna Translocation Times In Solid-State Nanopores, Jiali Li, David Talaga

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

This paper systematically investigates the effects of solution viscosity, applied voltage and DNA chain length on the distribution of DNA translocation times through 8 ± 2 nm diameter silicon nitride nanopores. Linear dsDNA translocation events were selected based on the magnitude of current blockage and accumulated into scatter plots of current blockage and event duration (translocation time). The translocation time distribution was fitted to the solution of a Smoluchowski-type equation for 1D biased diffusion to a sink. The DNA drifting speed under bias and diffusion constant were extracted from the fits as functions of solution viscosity, applied voltage and DNA …
