Beyond Equilibrium Temperature: How The Atmosphere/Interior Connection Affects The Onset Of Methane, Ammonia, And Clouds In Warm Transiting Giant Planets, Jonathan J. Fortney, Channon Visscher, Mark S. Marley, Callie E. Hood, Michael R. Line, Daniel P. Thorngren, Richard S. Freedman, Roxana Lupu Jan 2020

Beyond Equilibrium Temperature: How The Atmosphere/Interior Connection Affects The Onset Of Methane, Ammonia, And Clouds In Warm Transiting Giant Planets, Jonathan J. Fortney, Channon Visscher, Mark S. Marley, Callie E. Hood, Michael R. Line, Daniel P. Thorngren, Richard S. Freedman, Roxana Lupu

Faculty Work Comprehensive List

The atmospheric pressure–temperature profiles for transiting giant planets cross a range of chemical transitions. Here we show that the particular shapes of these irradiated profiles for warm giant planets below ∼1300 K lead to striking differences in the behavior of nonequilibrium chemistry compared to brown dwarfs of similar temperatures. Our particular focus is H2O, CO, CH4, CO2, and NH3 in Jupiter- and Neptune-class planets. We show that the cooling history of a planet, which depends most significantly on planetary mass and age, can have a dominant effect on abundances in the visible atmosphere, often swamping trends one might expect based …


Retrieval Of The D/Sdl7+T7.5p Binary Sdss J1416+1348ab, Eileen C. Gonzales, Ben Burningham, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Colleen Cleary, Channon Visscher, Mark S. Marley, Roxana Lupu, Richard Freedman Jan 2020

Retrieval Of The D/Sdl7+T7.5p Binary Sdss J1416+1348ab, Eileen C. Gonzales, Ben Burningham, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Colleen Cleary, Channon Visscher, Mark S. Marley, Roxana Lupu, Richard Freedman

Faculty Work Comprehensive List

We present the distance-calibrated spectral energy distribution (SED) of the d/sdL7 SDSS J14162408+1348263A (J1416A) and an updated SED for SDSS J14162408+1348263B (J1416B). We also present the first retrieval analysis of J1416A using the Brewster retrieval code base and the second retrieval of J1416B. We find that the primary is best fit by a nongray cloud opacity with a power-law wavelength dependence but is indistinguishable between the type of cloud parameterization. J1416B is best fit by a cloud-free model, consistent with the results from Line et al. Most fundamental parameters derived via SEDs and retrievals are consistent within 1σ for both …

How Propaganda Became Public Relations: Foucault And The Corporate Government Of The Public, Cory Wimberly Jan 2020

How Propaganda Became Public Relations: Foucault And The Corporate Government Of The Public, Cory Wimberly

Philosophy Faculty Publications

How Propaganda Became Public Relations pulls back the curtain on propaganda: how it was born, how it works, and how it has masked the bulk of its operations by rebranding itself as public relations. Cory Wimberly uses archival materials and wide variety of sources — Foucault’s work on governmentality, political economy, liberalism, mass psychology, and history — to mount a genealogical challenge to two commonplaces about propaganda. First, modern propaganda did not originate in the state and was never primarily located in the state; instead, it began and flourished as a for-profit service for businesses. Further, propaganda is not focused …

Neoliberalism, Violence And Capital Accumulation, Reem M. El Barbary Jan 2020

Neoliberalism, Violence And Capital Accumulation, Reem M. El Barbary

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation looks into the violent, self-serving legal (neocolonial) order that revolves around wealth accumulation and the defense and sustainability of the status quo. The starting point and core idea that guides my discussion is the “redemptive” ideological framework and commitment to free market economies and profit-making. I thus look into the narratives upon which an alliance between development, progress, human rights and neoliberalism rests, in a manner that limits and restricts involvement and action; and normalizes and legitimizes suffering, ill-doing and irresponsibility through law. I examine the interdisciplinary and multilayered reality of repression that state sponsored, and supported, bodies …


Exploiting Feedback Information In Cognitive Radio Systems, Sara Abozeid Attlla Jan 2020

Exploiting Feedback Information In Cognitive Radio Systems, Sara Abozeid Attlla

Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis, we consider a cognitive radio (CR) network where the primary network's feedback information is utilized to design access schemes for the secondary network, to exploit the underutilized primary spectrum resources. Secondary users (SUs) identify the spectrum opportunities by sensing the spectrum for primary users (PUs) activities and by listening to the PUs feedback. The feedback signals monitored in this research work are the channel quality indicator (CQI) and automatic repeat request (ARQ) available in the PUs network. For detecting the PUs activities, SUs employ hard/soft energy sensing. The secondary access decisions are optimized to maximize the SUs …


Net Neutrality And Consumer Welfare: Divergent Approaches To The Egyptian Telecommunication Regulation, Mennatullah Helmy Hamada Jan 2020

Net Neutrality And Consumer Welfare: Divergent Approaches To The Egyptian Telecommunication Regulation, Mennatullah Helmy Hamada

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis explores the implications of the debate on net neutrality on telecommunication policy in Egypt. I argue that consumer welfare should be the main determining factor of the effects of net neutrality obligations on the telecom sector. Consumer welfare must remain the focus of any regulator while applying net neutrality obligations. Consumers in any telecom market care about three elements, namely, prices, quality and speed of the internet, and openness and accessibility of the content available over the internet. Meanwhile, the main controllers of the telecom market are torn between preserving the nature of the internet and their own …


Exploring Cryotherapy As A Therapeutic Approach For Stress-Induced Tension Headaches In College Students, Mona Hassan Abdelaal Jan 2020

Exploring Cryotherapy As A Therapeutic Approach For Stress-Induced Tension Headaches In College Students, Mona Hassan Abdelaal

Nursing

ABSTRACT Tension-type headaches and stress are common problems for students. It is one of the most neglected headache types, with prevalence of ~ 15–20% in population-based studies. Alternative and complementary medicine such as cryotherapy is effective for relieving physical and psychological pain; using ice compresses by placing it at the back of the neck, leads to relief of tension and anxiety, and gives the feeling of relaxation and full of energy for doing daily life activities. The findings from this study provide the basis for the formulation of future research questions that can explore the effect of cryotherapy on the …

The underlying data are unique in scope and size, and offer many opportunities for novel analyses of IR search engine performance. The data may be augmented to enable additional analyses including metadata mining and bibliometrics. In November 2019, the RAMP team released a publicly available subset of the …


Culturally Inclusive Online Learning For Capacity Development Projects In International Contexts, Charlotte Nirmalani Gunawardena Jan 2020

Culturally Inclusive Online Learning For Capacity Development Projects In International Contexts, Charlotte Nirmalani Gunawardena

University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

This paper explores cultural inclusivity in online learning design by discussing two international capacity development projects: an online tutor mentor development program in Sri Lanka and a hybrid physician assistant training program in Ghana. Inclusivity involves establishing partnerships and conducting needs assessments to maximize the capacity that already exists within a given context, and addressing cultural factors that impact online learning- — developing a learning community, negotiating identity, power, and authority, generating social presence, supporting collaboration, engaging in authentic inquiry-based learning, navigating interactions in a second language, and developing co-mentoring relationships to support learning. The paper provides a framework, WisCom …


Distributed Co-Mentoring As A Means To Develop Culturally Inclusive Online Learning Communities, Charlotte Nirmalani Gunawardena, Gayathri Jayatilleke, Geetha Kulasekara, Malinda Kumarasinha Jan 2020

Distributed Co-Mentoring As A Means To Develop Culturally Inclusive Online Learning Communities, Charlotte Nirmalani Gunawardena, Gayathri Jayatilleke, Geetha Kulasekara, Malinda Kumarasinha

University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

Transformative online pedagogies call for innovative ways of conceptualizing the online environment and the student, teacher, and peer relationships. In this paper, we focus on how distributed co-mentoring can scaffold both social and knowledge building processes to develop culturally inclusive online learning communities. We critique traditional mentoring relationships, which have often sustained a biased class structure exclusive of diverse populations. We conceptualize co-mentoring drawing from the perspectives of two alternative mentoring theories: (1) feminist postmodern values that bring women and minorities into educational networks, and (2) mentoring mosaic where a diverse range of individuals of different ranks, ages, genders, ethnicities, …
