Optimized Intermediate Layer Formation And Electroless Plating Methods To Obtain Supported Dense Pd Surfaces, Gamze Gümüşlü Gür, Berna Toprak Feb 2024

Optimized Intermediate Layer Formation And Electroless Plating Methods To Obtain Supported Dense Pd Surfaces, Gamze Gümüşlü Gür, Berna Toprak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Dense metallic membranes, especially Pd and Pd alloys, have been intensely investigated to provide an alternative and economical way to obtain H2 with ultrahigh purity. To overcome the high cost of Pd, composite membrane structures that comprise a thin layer of Pd are utilized. However, it is a challenge to obtain a thin, dense, and uniform Pd layer on the support materials. This study investigates the parametric analysis of γ-Al2O3 interlayer formation and the electroless Pd plating (Pd ELP) procedures on α-Al2O3 supports with the aim to achieve a thin, uniform Pd surface without annealing. Adjustments in PEG/PVA concentration, dipping …

Apollonian Packings And Kac-Moody Root Systems, Ian Whitehead Feb 2024

Apollonian Packings And Kac-Moody Root Systems, Ian Whitehead

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Works

We study Apollonian circle packings using the properties of a certain rank 4 indefinite Kac-Moody root system ϕ. We introduce the generating function Z(s) of a packing, an exponential series in four variables with an Apollonian symmetry group, which is a symmetric function for ϕ. By exploiting the presence of affine and Lorentzian hyperbolic root subsystems of ϕ, with automorphic Weyl denominators, we express Z(s) in terms of Jacobi theta functions and the Siegel modular form Δ₅. We also show that the domain of convergence of Z(s) is the Tits cone of ϕ, and discover that this domain inherits the …

Generative Mechanisms Of Ai Implementation: A Critical Realist Perspective On Predictive Maintenance, Alexander Stohr, Philip Ollig, Robert Keller, Alexander Rieger

Information Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

Artificial intelligence (AI) promises various new opportunities to create and appropriate business value. However, many organizations – especially those in more traditional industries – struggle to seize these opportunities. To unpack the underlying reasons, we investigate how more traditional industries implement predictive maintenance, a promising application of AI in manufacturing organizations. For our analysis, we employ a multiple-case design and adopt a critical realist perspective to identify generative mechanisms of AI implementation. Overall, we find five interdependent mechanisms: experimentation; knowledge building and integration; data; anxiety; and inspiration. Using causal loop diagramming, we flesh out the socio-technical dynamics of these mechanisms …

Inferring Binary Parameters With Dual-Line Gravitational Wave Detection From Tight Inspiraling Double Neutron Stars, Wen-Fan Feng, Jie-Wen Chen, Tan Liu, Yan Wang, Soumya D. Mohanty Feb 2024

Inferring Binary Parameters With Dual-Line Gravitational Wave Detection From Tight Inspiraling Double Neutron Stars, Wen-Fan Feng, Jie-Wen Chen, Tan Liu, Yan Wang, Soumya D. Mohanty

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Neutron star (NS) binaries can be potentially intriguing gravitational wave sources, with both high- and low-frequency radiation from the possibly aspherical individual stars and the binary orbit, respectively. The successful detection of such a dual-line source could provide fresh insights into binary geometry and NS physics. In the absence of electromagnetic observations, we develop a strategy for inferring the spin-orbit misalignment angle using the tight dual-line double NS system under the spin-orbit coupling. Based on the four-year joint detection of a typical dual-line system with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna and Cosmic Explorer, we find that the misalignment angle and …

Observed Epochal Variations In X-Ray Lines From The O Supergiant Ζ Puppis Do Not Require Substantial Changes In The Wind Mass Flux, Sean J. Gunderson, Kenneth G. Gayley, David P. Huenemoerder, Pragati Pradhan, Nathan A. Miller

Publications

We fit the high-resolution Chandra X-ray spectra of the O supergiant ζ Puppis using the variable boundary condition (VBC) line model to test the stability of its mass-loss rate between two epochs of observation: 2000 March and 2018 July – 2019 August. At issue is whether the observed variations are induced by global changes in the cool (unshocked) wind itself or are isolated to the local pockets of hot gas (i.e. changes in the frequency and location of the shocks). Evidence in the literature favoured the possibility of a 40 per cent increase in the mass flux of the entire …

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancer types worldwide. Chemotherapy is a substantial approach in the management of breast cancer despite the occurrence of chemotherapy-associated side effects and the development of multidrug resistance in cancer cells. At this point, a variety of quinone derivatives may represent potential as possible anticancer drug candidates due to possessing structural similarity towards clinically used anticancer drugs like doxorubicin. Therefore, we investigated the cytotoxic effects of various quinone derivatives with structural diversity towards a variety of breast cancer cells. We further determined their toxicity in healthy cells to evaluate their drug capability potential. …

Low Fine-Tuning With Heavy Higgsinos In Yukawa Unified Susy Guts, Cem Salih Ün Feb 2024

Low Fine-Tuning With Heavy Higgsinos In Yukawa Unified Susy Guts, Cem Salih Ün

Turkish Journal of Physics

The work presented considers a class of minimally constructed Yukawa unified SUSY GUTs - NUHM2 - and explores their implications when their soft supersymmetry breaking Lagrangian is generalized by the nonholomorphic terms which provide extra contributions to the Higgsino mass and couple the supersymmetric scalar fields to the wrong Higgs doublets. With such a simple extension, it can be found several regions with interesting implications which cannot be realized in the usual restricted models. It is observed that the Yukawa unification solutions can be compatible with a relatively light mass spectrum and acceptable low fine-tuning measurements. In the restricted models …

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The first general enantioselective alkyl-Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) coupling reactions are disclosed herein by employing a Cr-electrocatalytic decarboxylative approach. Using easily accessible aliphatic carboxylic acids (via redox-active esters) as alkyl nucleophile synthons, in combination with aldehydes and enabling additives, chiral secondary alcohols are produced in a good yield with high enantioselectivity under mild reductive electrolysis. This reaction, which cannot be mimicked using stoichiometric metal or organic reductants, tolerates a broad range of functional groups and is successfully applied to dramatically simplify the synthesis of multiple medicinally relevant structures and natural products. Mechanistic studies revealed that this asymmetric alkyl e-NHK reaction was enabled …

Comment On “Photons Can Tell ‘Contradictory’ Answer About Where They Have Been”, Gregory Reznick, Carlotta Versmold, Jan Dziewior, Florian Huber, Harald Weinfurter, Justin Dressel, Lev Vaidman

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

Yuan and Feng (Eur. Phys. J. Plus 138:70, 2023) recently proposed a modification of the nested Mach–Zehnder interferometer experiment performed by Danan et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 111:240402, 2013) and argued that photons give “contradictory” answers about where they have been, when traces are locally imprinted on them in different ways. They concluded that their results are comprehensible from what they call the “three-path interference viewpoint,” but difficult to explain from the “discontinuous trajectory” viewpoint advocated by Danan et al. We argue that the weak trace approach (the basis of the “discontinuous trajectory” viewpoint) provides a consistent explanation of the …

We use James Webb Space Telescope Near-Infrared Camera Wide Field Slitless Spectroscopy (NIRCam WFSS) and the Near-Infrared spectrograph (NIRSpec) in the Cosmic Evolution Early Release survey to measure rest-frame optical emission-line ratios of 155 galaxies at z < 2. The blind NIRCam grism observations include a sample of galaxies with bright emission lines that were not observed on the NIRSpec masks. We study the changes of the Hα, [O III]/Hβ, and [Ne III]/[O II] emission lines in terms of redshift by comparing to lower-redshift SDSS, CLEAR, and MOSDEF samples. We find a significant (>3σ) correlation between [O III]/Hβ with redshift, while [Ne III]/[O II] has a marginal (2σ) correlation with redshift. We compare [O III]/Hβ and [Ne III]/[O II] to stellar mass and Hβ SFR. We find that both emission-line ratios have a correlation with Hβ SFR and an anticorrelation with stellar mass across the redshifts 0 > z > 9. Comparison with MAPPINGS V models indicates that …
