Neural Net Detection Of Seismic Features Related To Gas Hydrates And Free Gas Accumulations On The Northern U.S. Atlantic Margin, Urmi Majumdar, Nathaniel C. Miller, Carolyn D. Ruppel

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Bottom-simulating reflections (BSRs) that sometimes mark the base of the gas hydrate stability zone in marine sediments are often identified based on the reverse polarity reflections that cut across stratigraphic layering in seismic amplitude data. On the northern U.S. Atlantic margin (USAM) between Cape Hatteras and Hudson Canyon, legacy seismic data have revealed pronounced BSRs south of the deepwater extension of Hudson Canyon and more subtle ones from offshore Delaware south to Cape Hatteras, where the reflections sometimes follow stratigraphic layering. Using high-resolution seismic data acquired during the 2018 Mid-Atlantic Resource Imaging Experiment and a supervised neural net, we identify …

A Numerical Reassessment Of The Gulf Of Mexico Carbon System In Connection With The Mississippi River And Global Ocean, Le Zhang, Z. George Xue

Faculty Publications

Coupled physical-biogeochemical models can fill the spatial and temporal gap in ocean carbon observations. Challenges of applying a coupled physical-biogeochemical model in the regional ocean include the reasonable prescription of carbon model boundary conditions, lack of in situ observations, and the oversimplification of certain biogeochemical processes. In this study, we applied a coupled physical-biogeochemical model (Regional Ocean Modelling System, ROMS) to the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and achieved an unprecedented 20-year high-resolution (5 km, 1/22°) hindcast covering the period of 2000 to 2019. The biogeochemical model incorporated the dynamics of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pools and the formation and dissolution …

Intellectual Pollution And Its Impact On The Criminal Phenomenon, Oday Tulfah Mohammed Aldoury

Sultan Qaboos University Legal Studies Journal

Intellectual pollution is dangerous for societies as it distorts their members' principles, values, ideas, and beliefs which negatively influences their behavior, undermines society's cohesion, and increases the qualitative and quantitative motives of the criminal phenomenon. Thus, this research addresses the issue of intellectual pollution and its impact on crime using an inductive and analytical approach. The paper discusses the topic in two sections; the first is the nature of intellectual pollution, and the second is its effects on the criminal phenomenon. This paper obtained significant conclusions, one of which was intellectual pollution is every extraneous thought, belief, or tendency to …

Access To Online Formative Assessments In Lower-Division Undergraduate Biology Courses: Investigating Barriers To Student Engagement, Allison M. Upchurch, Dana L. Kirkwood-Watts, Kathleen R. Brazeal, Lorey A. Wheeler, Brian A. Couch, Gabrielle B. Johnson, Sarah K. Spier

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Instructors use a variety of online formative assessment (FA) activities to support learning outside class. Previous studies have revealed barriers for students in online courses, but little is known about the barriers students experience when completing online FA assignments. Understanding these barriers to access is critical to fostering more inclusive learning for all students. Using a framework from previous work in online learning, we examined student perceptions of online FA access with respect to five barrier categories: technical resources, instructor organization, social interactions, personal engagement, and learning environment. We developed and administered a survey to more than 1,200 undergraduate biology …

Low Temperature Dielectric Strength Of Polyimide-Silica Nanocomposites For Applications In High-Temperature Superconducting Cables, Michael John Mccaffrey

Theses and Dissertations

Gaseous helium is often considered as an alternative to liquid nitrogen to cool modern high-temperature superconducting cables in support of increased power capacity and/or reduction of required cable size. However, the small size of helium molecules and relatively poor dielectric strength of helium gas create challenges which limit the usefulness of modern cable dielectrics. Continuous dielectric coatings have been considered as an alternative to traditional lapped tape dielectrics to support gaseous helium refrigerants, but unmatched thermal contraction between the coating and cable components would induce failures due to mechanical stress. Composite materials have been considered as a means of matching …

Orthogonal Point Location And Rectangle Stabbing Queries In 3-D, Timothy M. Chan, Yakov Nekrich, Saladi Rahul, Konstantinos Tsakalidis

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

In this work, we present a collection of new results on two fundamental problems in geometric data structures: orthogonal point location and rectangle stabbing.• Orthogonal point location. We give the first linear-space data structure that sup- ports 3-d point location queries on n disjoint axis-aligned boxes with optimal O (log") query time in the (arithmetic) pointer machine model. This improves the previous 0 (\ogi/2 n^ bound of Rahul \SODA 201o|. We similarly obtain the first linear-space data structure in the I/O model with optimal query cost, and also the first linear-space data structure in the word HAM model with sub-logarithmic …

Development Of High-Performance Fiber Cement: A Case Study In The Integration Of Circular Economy In Product Design, Parinya Chakartnarodom, Sarunya Wanpen, Wichit Prakaypan, Edward A. Laitila, Nuntaporn Kongkajun

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

A new fiber cement (FC) is designed with the integration of circular economy (CE) concepts, in particular a product that is recyclable yet maintains performance. The FC samples were prepared from the mixtures of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), sand, and cellulose fibers, and required an inclusion compound (IC) and water. From the heat of hydration tests, the most effective IC, IC1, was prepared from lithium silicate, sodium thiocyanate, alkylbenzene sulfonate, and hydrochloric acid. The FC samples were recycled by crushing and grinding, then used as sand replacement in varying amounts to produce new FC samples. The results from the mechanical …

Saturable Absorption Of Free-Electron Laser Radiation By Graphite Near The Carbon K-Edge, Lars Hoffman, Sasawat Jamnuch, Craig Schwartz, Tobias Helk, Sumana L. Raj, Hikaru Mizuno, Riccardo Mincigrucci, Laura Foglia, Emiliano Principi, Richard J. Saykally, Walkter S. Drisdell

Nevada Extreme Conditions Laboratory Faculty Research

The interaction of intense light with matter gives rise to competing nonlinear responses that can dynamically change material properties. Prominent examples are saturable absorption (SA) and two-photon absorption (TPA), which dynamically increase and decrease the transmission of a sample depending on pulse intensity, respectively. The availability of intense soft X-ray pulses from free-electron lasers (FELs) has led to observations of SA and TPA in separate experiments, leaving open questions about the possible interplay between and relative strength of the two phenomena. Here, we systematically study both phenomena in one experiment by exposing graphite films to soft X-ray FEL pulses of …

Responses Of Phytoplankton Communities Driven By Differences Of Source Water Intrusions In The El Niño And La Niña Events In The Taiwan Strait During The Early Spring, Yanping Zhong, Edward A. Laws, Jiafu Zhuang, Jingxiao Wang, Peixuan Wang, Caiyun Zhang, Xin Liu, Bangqin Huang

Faculty Publications

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the most important drivers of interannual variations of marine ecosystems, especially monsoonal ecosystems. The channel effect in a strait amplifies the impact of monsoons and may be an ideal area to study ecosystem responses to ENSO events. Previous studies have shown that physical processes in the Taiwan Strait (TWS) vary during the different ENSO phases, but the biological responses are still unclear. In this study, we found clear differences in the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the TWS between different ENSO phases based on data from satellites and field cruises …

Diffusing Alpha-Emitters Radiation Therapy In Combination With Temozolomide Or Bevacizumab In Human Glioblastoma Multiforme Xenografts, Yossi Nishri, Maayan Vatarescu, Ishai Luz, Lior Epstein, Mirta Dumančić, Sara Del Mare, Amit Shai, Michael Schmidt, Lisa Deutsch, Robert Den, Itzhak Kelson, Yona Keisari, Lior Arazi, Tomer Cooks, Vered Domankevich

Department of Radiation Oncology Faculty Papers

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is at present an incurable disease with a 5-year survival rate of 5.5%, despite improvements in treatment modalities such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy [e.g., temozolomide (TMZ)], and targeted therapy [e.g., the antiangiogenic agent bevacizumab (BEV)]. Diffusing alpha-emitters radiation therapy (DaRT) is a new modality that employs radium-224-loaded seeds that disperse alpha-emitting atoms inside the tumor. This treatment was shown to be effective in mice bearing human-derived GBM tumors. Here, the effect of DaRT in combination with standard-of-care therapies such as TMZ or BEV was investigated. In a viability assay, the combination of alpha radiation with TMZ …
