Examining The Adoption Of Low/Zero Emissions Passenger Vehicles In Used Car Markets: A Case Study From Saint Vincent And The Grenadines, Westford Stilly Joseph

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The transportation sector accounts for a quarter of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with private vehicles contributing approximately 39% of these emissions. The adoption of low/zero emission vehicles (LZEVs) is a critical strategy for reducing GHG emissions. However, despite the projection that developing states will account for 90% of global vehicle fleet expansion over the next decade, little research has explored the issues of LZEV adoption in markets where consumers predominantly purchase used cars, such as Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. This study uses an Extended Theory of Planned Behaviour (ETPB) model to analyse factors influencing LZEV purchase intentions among …

To reach the experimental sensitivity goal of $d_n \sim 10^{-27}$, over an order of magnitude improvement from the current world limit, a spin polarization transfer efficiency of 99\% for ultracold neutrons entering or exiting the precession chamber is required, placing a stringent requirement on the adiabaticity of the magnetic field taper in the neutron guide system. The spin transport fields transition from 5~T (longitudinal) …


Qcd Analysis Of Flavor-Nonchanging Hadronic Weak Processes Through Next-To-Leading Order, Girish Lingadahalli Muralidhara Jan 2024

Qcd Analysis Of Flavor-Nonchanging Hadronic Weak Processes Through Next-To-Leading Order, Girish Lingadahalli Muralidhara

Theses and Dissertations--Physics and Astronomy

Studies in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory of the strong interactions, of low-energy hadronic weak processes utilize an effective Hamiltonian framework. Below the weak-mass scale, an effective Hamiltonian contains a series of Wilson coefficients and four-quark operators that come from the operator product expansion in the Standard Model. The effective hadronic Hamiltonian pertinent to a weak process is then obtained via a renormalization group analysis in QCD from the weak-mass scale to the low-energy scale of O(2 GeV). In this thesis, the construction and phenomenological implications of such an effective Hamiltonian for flavor-conserving, parity-violating quark processes in the Standard …

affected by the composition of the gas, which …


Techniques For Optimizing Neutron Beta Decay Particle Detection, Austin W. Nelsen Jan 2024

Techniques For Optimizing Neutron Beta Decay Particle Detection, Austin W. Nelsen

Theses and Dissertations--Physics and Astronomy

Over the last couple decades, use of free neutron beta decay (n → p + e- + νe) to extract the up-down quark transition element Vud has become competitive with more conventional Fermi decays. Extraction of Vud requires measurements of the vector to axial-vector coupling constant ratio λ and the free neutron lifetime τn. With a precise determination of Vud, the 2.8σ departure from CKM unitarity can be addressed.

Nab, located at the Spallation Neutron Source at ORNL, will measure the electron-neutrino momentum correlation coefficient a (which couples quadratically …


Spinning Spheroidal Components Of Disk Galaxies: Resonant Interactions With Stellar Bars, Xingchen Li Jan 2024

Spinning Spheroidal Components Of Disk Galaxies: Resonant Interactions With Stellar Bars, Xingchen Li

Theses and Dissertations--Physics and Astronomy

The majority of disk galaxies possess stellar bars, which are the main driver in the internal evolution of barred galaxies. Bars represent non-axisymmetric perturbations in the galactic disks, producing strong gravitational torques that facilitate angular momentum transfer from the disk to the spheroidal components, such as central stellar bulges and host dark matter (DM) halos. The redistribution of angular momentum in barred galaxies proceeds mainly via resonant interactions between the bar and orbits in the spheroids. The amount of angular momentum emitted or absorbed at each resonance depends on the mass distribution, density and spin in the spheroidal components. Thus, …


Development Of A Source To Detector Simulation Of The Los Alamos National Lab Neutron Electric Dipole Moment Experiment, Dillon Buskirk Jan 2024

Development Of A Source To Detector Simulation Of The Los Alamos National Lab Neutron Electric Dipole Moment Experiment, Dillon Buskirk

Theses and Dissertations--Physics and Astronomy

The Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) experiment is planning an increased precision measurement of the neutron’s permanent electric dipole moment. LANL nEDM expects to lower the statistical uncertainty to δdLANL = 2 × 10−27 e cm after a year of live-time, which puts a more stringent upper bound on the nEDM. This statistical uncertainty is an order of magnitude less than the current best measurement set by nEDM at PSI. To reach this goal, the LANL nEDM collaboration requires a simulation tool that can tackle optimization problems, investigate systematic effects, and provide mock data …


Development Of A Novel Beam-Type Neutron Lifetime Experiment Using Ultracold Neutrons, Nicholas Floyd Jan 2024

Development Of A Novel Beam-Type Neutron Lifetime Experiment Using Ultracold Neutrons, Nicholas Floyd

Theses and Dissertations--Physics and Astronomy

Precision measurements of the neutron lifetime are critical to tests of the Standard Model. The CKM quark mixing matrix has recently been shown to deviate from unitarity in the top row, motivating the development of alternative extractions of the first element. Complementary measurements of the neutron’s lifetime and decay correlations can be used to accomplish this.

While the reported neutron lifetime by the Particle Data Group is taken from ultracold neutron (UCN) measurements, a separate class of experiments suggest a value in four sigma disagreement, meriting further study. The goal of the UCNProBe experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory is …


The Application Of Novel Machine Learning Algorithms To Study Multi-Dimensional Fragmentation Functions Of Hadrons In Jets At Star, Hannah A. Harrison-Smith Jan 2024

The Application Of Novel Machine Learning Algorithms To Study Multi-Dimensional Fragmentation Functions Of Hadrons In Jets At Star, Hannah A. Harrison-Smith

Theses and Dissertations--Physics and Astronomy

Hadronization, the process by which colored quarks and gluons shower from high energy collisions and recombine to form stable, experimentally-observable particles, is a fundamental aspect of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) that is not yet fully understood. Fragmentation functions, typically measured in electron-positron collisions, encapsulate this hadronization process well for quarks. Studying proton-proton collisions offers direct access to gluon fragmentation that other channels like electron-positron do not. Recent theoretical developments have proposed the study of hadronic showers in groupings called jets, introducing the concept of multi-dimensional jet fragmentation functions. This thesis presents the extraction of collinear and transverse momentum-dependent fragmentation functions for …

Managing The Personalized Order-Holding Problem In Online Retailing, Shouchang Chen, Zhenzhen Yan, Yun Fong Lim

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Problem definition: A significant percentage of online consumers place consecutive orders within a short duration. To reduce the total order arrangement cost, an online retailer may consolidate consecutive orders from the same consumer. We investigate how long the retailer should hold the consumer’s orders before sending them to a third-party logistics provider (3PL) for processing. In this order-holding problem, we optimize the holding time to balance the total order arrangement cost and the potential delay in delivery. Methodology/results: We model the order-holding problem as a Markov Decision Process. We show that the optimal order-holding decisions follow a threshold-type policy that …

Using Environmental Dna Methods For Estimating Juvenile Chinook Salmon Abundance, Jacqueline Marie Bridegum Jan 2024

Using Environmental Dna Methods For Estimating Juvenile Chinook Salmon Abundance, Jacqueline Marie Bridegum

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

In the Central Valley of California, stocks of Chinook Salmon are declining, and two out of the four ecotypes of Chinook Salmon within the Sacramento River system are federally listed. A monitoring network has been developed to estimate the abundances of downstream migrating Chinook Salmon smolts, but there is high uncertainty in these estimates due to low catch rates. Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring, which involves capture of genetic material that organisms release into their surrounding environment, has shown promise for estimating abundance of salmonids and could complement existing monitoring efforts and potentially reduce uncertainty in abundance estimates. This research project …

Negotiating Inherent Asymmetries Of Co-Design: A Case Of Integrative Elementary Mathematics And Computer Science Instruction, Victor R. Lee, Stephanie Robillard, Mimi Recker, Jody Clarke-Midura, Jessica Shumway

Publications

Collaborative design, or “co-design”, is a term that has gained popularity in educational research and design communities, including those working with K-12 educators. While more groups are identifying with and pursuing co-design, much remains to be understood about how to structure the work within given different constraints, circumstances, and resources available to different parties. We propose understanding co-design as having inherent asymmetries and that structuring co-design work patterns involves negotiation of those asymmetries. Through a case of an elementary computer science and math integration research-practice partnership, we share ways that those asymmetries are both intentionally softened and leveraged at different …
