▼ Coherent structures such as large-scale jets and vortices are ubiquitous in natural quasi-two-dimensional (2D) turbulence such as atmospheres. I study statistical approaches to 2D turbulence with the goal of predicting coherent structures from the equations of motion. The approach contrasts with the traditional approach of direct numerical simulation (DNS). First I consider equilibrium statistical mechanics of Euler flows. Coherent structures that form in numerical simulation on the torus and the sphere are compared against the truncated Miller-Robert-Sommeria equilibria where only some of the conservation laws are imposed. The description that conserves energy and enstrophy produces a complete energy condensation to the largest scales, and in the absence of rotation correctly predicts the number and polarity of coherent vortices. Perturbative imposition of the quartic Casimir constraint improves agreement with simulation by sharpening the cores and transferring some energy to smaller-scale modes. Effect of rotation is beyond the conservation of energy and enstrophy. Numerical simulation also shows nonergodicity, limiting the usefulness of equilibrium statistical mechanics. Next I investigate two nonequilibrium statistical mechanical approaches. One is direct statistical simulation implemented by systematic expansion in equal-time cumulants. The approach is illustrated on the sphere by a barotropic model of jet formation. Closures of cumulant evolution equations at second order (CE2) or third order (CE3), or an intermediate closure (CE2.5) may be used. For Euler flows, CE2 and CE2.5 both conserve angular momentum, energy and enstrophy; CE3 further conserves the cubic Casimir. Comparison with DNS shows that CE2 reproduces qualitative features of the zonal jets, and CE2.5 and CE3 further improve quantitative agreement with DNS. In the other approach, Wegner’s flow equation is integrated forward numerically to a fixed point to yield the equal-time steady-state statistics that is encoded in the Hopf functional. It is applied to a system with two degrees of freedom, the Lorenz attractor, and turbulence on the sphere, with some success. The statistical approaches provide new insights into coherent structures and may also bring new tools to lead to a better understanding of astrophysical and geophysical flows.

▼ This thesis presents the search for Supersymmetric particles, in both strong and electroweak productions, in the same-flavor opposite-sign dilepton channel. The SUSY analyses usually require large missing transverse energy MET for the presence of invisible LSPs. One of the most difficult background processes to estimate in these searches is due to artificial MET from hadronic object (jet) energy mismeasurements, which are difficult to model in simulation due to the complexity of detector defects. One major focus of this thesis is to estimate such mismeasurements in the crucial background originating from SM production of Z boson in association with jets (Z + jets), where Z decays to two leptons. In addition to the jet mismeasurement, the artificial MET in Z + jets events also convolves the mismeasurement of lepton energy, which becomes significantly important when the lepton is highly boosted. A data-driven method is developed using photon data (γ+jets) events to model the jet mismeasurements in Z + jets events. To model the lepton resolution, I developed a data-driven deconvolution method, which deconvolves jet and lepton resolutions in a control region, to derive a resolution correction for the photons. The results of this thesis probe the gluino masses as large as ∼ 2 TeV, and gaugino masses as large as ∼ 600 GeV. However, the analyses are not yet sensitive to the parameter space of light electroweak gauginos. A new background method and a new analysis variable are also proposed in this thesis to improve the sensitivity to the light higgsinos, which are crucial for the SUSY solution to the hierarchy problem. For the searches for the light higgsinos, low transverse momentum Z + jets events are an important background, which will be a major focus of the ATLAS SUSY program in the following years. The photon template method is unavailable to cover the low pT phase space due to the photon trigger threshold. I am designing a new method using J/ψ and Υ events to model low pT Z + jets. The similar event topologies between Z and J/ψ and Υ and the large event rates will largely reduce the background uncertainty and improve the higgsino searches.

▼ Sulfur is one of the six elements required during the early stages of the evolution of life, and enzymes involved in sulfur transfer and oxidation are increasingly being recognized as potential drug targets for antimicrobials as well as for therapies for cancer, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. Bacteria are able to carry out a much broader range of sulfur chemistry than mammals and are able to use sulfate as a sole sulfur source, meaning that they can synthesize cysteine from sulfate, whereas mammals must take in either homocysteine or cysteine in their diet. Some bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, are able to obtain sulfate from alkanesulfonates through the expression a sulfur starvation utilization system, which includes a two-component system composed of an NADPH-dependent FMN-reductase, SsuE, and a monooxygenase, SsuD. Once cysteine (Cys) is available to a cell, the careful regulation of its concentration is important because even though Cys is required for life, at high levels it is toxic, especially for mammals. In bacteria, metazoa and fungi the Cys levels are primarily regulated by cysteine dioxygenase (CDO). In mammals, CDO is known to form a Cys-Tyr crosslink that greatly increases its enzymatic activity. Here, I report structural studies and evolutionary considerations aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of SsuE and CDO. With regard to the work on SsuE, I report the first structures of any SsuE, and these crystal structures show that SsuE is structurally similar to closely related FMN-reductases. These structures revealed that SsuE forms a tetramer that is similar to related FMN-reductases, and an active site that is completed by the dimer interface. An evolutionarily conserved π-helix appears to link FMN binding with tetramer dissociation. Three different states of SsuE were captured at ~ 2.0 Å resolution: an apo enzyme, an FMN-bound enzyme and a FMNH2-bound enzyme. Based on these results, a reinterpretation of previous kinetics data on SsuE led to a novel proposal for the SsuE mechanism that is similar to those of its homologs. Furthermore, a general catalytic cycle was defined for NADPH-dependent FMN-reductases from the flavodoxin-like superfamily that provides a framework for understanding how the mechanism of these enzymes might change depending on cellular conditions and interactions with partner proteins. With regard to the work on CDO, over 30 structures have been solved of wild type and mutant rat CDOs. In one set of studies, 14 crystal structures between 1.25 and 2.15 Å resolution, including a room temperature structure, are used to clearly define the pH dependence of Cys-persulfenate complex formation in the crystal, and fortuitously also provide the first high resolution view of an unreacted Cys bound in the active site. The main conclusions from this work are that persulfenate formation is consistently seen at pH values between 5.5 and 7, that is it not an artifact of freezing or synchrotron radiation, and at pH≥8 the unliganded active site iron shifts from 4- to 5-coordinate.… Advisors/Committee Members: Karplus, P.

▼ Two-phase flows in microtechnology based devices are purposefully present in multiphase reactors, phase separators, analytical devices and others. Two-phase flows can also be an undesirable side effect occurring during operation due to phase transitions or, more commonly, introduction of surrounding air through equipment gaps and with process feed. In both cases, the two phases require control to achieve desired system performance. Devices with microfeatures such as posts and pillars represent relatively unexplored design direction with the potential for successful fulfillment of various multi-phase flows objectives. Efficient design of microfeatured devices requires computational tools. However, the importance of two-phase interface physics imposes high resolution computing, which when combined with usual microtechnology high-aspect ratios results in large computational efforts. Multiscale modeling provides a means for preserving accuracy while lowering computational costs. This thesis proposes a novel multiscale modeling approach for modeling microarchitectures with microfeatures. The main idea of the approach is to enable numerical simulations of two-phase flows in microfeatured architectures without resolving the actual microfeatures. Effect of microfeatures presence is incorporated through a coupling operator, vector, or scalar field. Removal of microfeatures allows for modeling with significantly coarser computational grids with grid size being limited by the smallest droplet sizes. Multiscale modeling approach is accompanied by a piecewise modeling concept in which characterization of the entire microarchitecture is performed with smaller, and hence computationally less intensive, representative domains. Piecewise modeling can be used as a replacement for full-size architecture simulations in multiscale modeling but can also serve as an independent modeling tool. The basic framework of the proposed approach is developed based on the example of droplet retention times in microfeatured architectures. This approach is successfully incorporated into Shan and Chen Lattice Boltzmann method, validated and applied to three different architectures. Demonstrated are the capabilities and challenges of the proposed multiscale modeling approach. Viability and potential improvements of piecewise modeling are also confirmed.

▼ Multiphoton microscopy is a powerful platform for both biological study and medical imaging. Techniques developed on this platform have achieved unparalleled resolution and chemical specificity, imaging at depths unreachable by traditional forms of optical microscopy. This thesis details several techniques meant to improve multiphoton depth penetration, imaging speed, and medical applicability. One such technique uses a modified form of simultaneous spatial and temporal focusing (SSTF) to achieve enhanced axial confinement. In SSTF a diffraction grating is imaged onto the sample, and the separation and recombination of the excitation spectral components form a temporal focus. By blocking the central portion of the excitation spectrum, an effective two-color two-photon imaging system is formed. By detecting only the resulting sum frequency generation signal the axial confinement becomes significantly tighter than that achieved by conventional two-photon microscopy. The temporal focus of SSTF may be axially scanned by modulating the group delay dispersion (GDD) of the excitation pulse. In a proof-of-concept experiment, a piezo-bimorph mirror is used to rapidly modulate GDD in a temporal focusing setup. Axial scans over 60 [mu]m of mouse skin are performed at speeds up to 200Hz. This is done through an optical fiber and with no moving parts or electrical components at the distal end, paving the way for the development of a minimally invasive, axial scanning endoscope. Another technique uses frequency multiplexing to perform parallel acquisition of image data using a single-element detector. Five hundred pixels in a line are individually intensity modulated at different radio frequencies. A Fourier transform of the signal unscrambles the image data after detection. In scattering regimes where conventional parallel acquisition (i.e. charge coupled device array, or CCD) methods are impossible, this multifocal multiphoton modulation microscopy (M4) technique allows for higher signal-to-noise ratios and faster imaging. Fluorescent/phosphorescent lifetime can be calculated from the phase component of the Fourier transform in the M4 technique. In combination with the inherent speed advantages of M4, this is used to take full-frame phosphorescent lifetime images of oxygen-sensing dye in vivo in mouse brain vasculature at record speed. ii Advisors/Committee Members: Xu, Chunhui (chair), Zipfel, Warren R.

▼ Most crystallizations conducted in contexts from the laboratory to industrial production involve multicomponent solutions yielding one or more phases. Because of the importance of such processes in purification and solid form engineering, understanding these crystallization behaviors is one of the greatest outstanding scientific challenges. Here a novel approach to studying this issue is explored, namely studying two-dimensional (2D) crystallization at the liquid/solid interface where the reduced dimensionality dramatically simplifies the system. During the course of investigations of 2D crystallization of aromatic primary amides bearing para substituents with long alkyl chains, a highly symmetric pattern was observed. This structure is in the plane group of p6 and contains rhombic voids even though the molecular symmetry of amide amphiphiles is Cs. These amide amphiphiles overcome the barrier to symmetry generation through forming an aggregate as a building block. This result demonstrates that a high symmetry pattern is achievable from a low symmetry building block through a proper combination of noncovalent interactions. Based on the hypothesis that amphiphile molecules can give rise to various aggregation modes potentially leading to different monolayers, 2D crystallization of an amide amphiphile containing a C18 alkyl-chain was conducted at the liquid/graphite interface. This amide amphiphile showed the ability to exist in six different forms: three close-packed structures and three nanoporous structures. The amide amphiphile was further employed to understand the phenomenon recently observed in three-dimensional crystallization that metastable polymorphs could be obtained during attempts to grow cocrystals with additives. The same phenomenon was able to be reproduced in two-dimensional crystallization from binary solutions while attempting to induce coadsorption. During the competition study between the amide amphiphile and other additive molecules, the formation of different metastable phases depending on the additive molecules was observed these are discussed in the context of kinetics and thermodynamics. During the competition study between the amide amphiphile and diheptadecyl phthalate, a new type of cocrystal that displays random mixing along one axis and periodic ordering along the other axis was discovered. The characteristics and formation process of this “1D-cocrystal” were examined by STM and computational models. The nature of this crystallization behavior is discussed.

▼ The discovery of graphene in 2004 has led to an explosion in research efforts towards other 2D materials. 2D materials not only represent the ultimate scaling in the vertical direction, but also show a variety of novel and useful electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. This thesis presents computational studies which can be categorized in four areas; first, the study of ripples in graphene, second the discovery of structure and properties of 2D materials, specifically, group-IV monochalcogenides; third, the substrate assisted synthesis routes for the synthesis of 2D materials, specifically group-III-V materials and hexagonal GaN; and lastly, the application of 2D materials as photocatalyst for water splitting. First, we show using Molecular Dynamics simulations that thermally induced dynamic ripples in graphene lead to angular deviations of the surface normal that agree with previous electron diffraction experiments (from static ripples), settling a long-standing debate about the nature of ripples in graphene and multi-layer graphene. The ripples can be both dynamic and static in nature and the magnitudes of both types of ripples are similar as they are controlled by the same energetics. Primarily, the static ripples correspond to the low-energy deformation modes of graphene, which are most easily formed due to small strains. These low-energy deformation modes are equivalent to static longwavelength out-of-plane phonon modes, typical of dynamic ripples. We also discover scaling relationships for the average angular deviations as a function of size of the graphene sheet L and averaging radius R and show that temperature, strain, and layer numbers can be used to manipulate these deviations. Our work provides guidance to the optimization of properties that are sensitive to out-of-plane distortions. Second, we use Density Functional Theory calculations to determine the structure, stability and electronic properties of 2D materials in family of groupIV monochalcogenides. The computational screening approach undertaken in this study provides a generic approach for a broader discovery and characterization of, as yet, hypothetical 2D materials using computational methods. To assess their potential in electronic applications, we also predict their electronic properties, such as band gaps, bandedge positions and effective masses using the HSE06 functional which accurately predicts the electronic structure of materials by including some fraction of exact exchange and correct part of the selfinteraction error. The 2D group IV-monochalcogenides materials show useful electronic properties suited for optoelectronics and solar energy conversion Third, the discovery of a novel material requires not only the identification of the materials composition, but also suitable synthesis conditions. We present a generic computational approach to identify suitable substrates for the stabilization of 2D materials and apply the method to the recently predicted 2D III-V compounds. We identify several lattice-matched substrates for their… Advisors/Committee Members: Hennig, Richard G. (chair), Park, Jiwoong (committee member), Clancy, Paulette (committee member).

▼ This document contains three sections. The first two present new methods for two-sample testing where there are many variables of interest and the third presents a new methodology for time series bootstrapping. In the first section we develop a test statistic for testing the equality of two population mean vectors in the "large-p-small-n" setting. Such a test must surmount the rank-deficiency of the sample covariance matrix, which breaks down the classic Hotelling T^(2) test. The proposed procedure, called the generalized component test, avoids full estimation of the covariance matrix by assuming that the p components admit a logical ordering such that the dependence between components is related to their displacement. The test is shown to be competitive with other recently developed methods under ARMA and long-range dependence structures and to achieve superior power for heavy-tailed data. The test does not assume equality of covariance matrices between the two populations, is robust to heteroscedasticity in the component variances, and requires very little computation time, which allows its use in settings with very large p. An analysis of mitochondrial calcium concentration in mouse cardiac muscles over time and of copy number variations in a glioblastoma multiforme data set from The Cancer Genome Atlas are carried out to illustrate the test. In the second section we present a theorem establishing a power improvement to the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure for controlling the false discovery rate when it is applied to test statistics which have been adjusted for the effects of latent factors. We extend recently published methodology to the context of serially dependent test statistics by presenting a frequency-domain adaptation of their procedure. We show that our harmonic factor adjustment to the test statistics improves the power of the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure without compromising its control of the false discovery rate when the test statistics are affected by latent periodic components. An illustration of our methodology is given in an analysis of copy number variations, which are measured along a chromosome and tend to exhibit serial dependence; power gains from our harmonic factor adjustment are demonstrated. In the third section we present a smoothed bootstrap procedure for time series data. Unlike with independent data, smoothed boostraps have received little consideration for time series. However, as evidenced in the iid smooth bootstrap, additional data smoothing steps within resampling can improve bootstrap approximations of the distributions of statistics, especially when such sampling distributions depend critically on unknown and smooth (e.g., infinite-dimensional) population quantities, such as marginal densities. To broaden the effectiveness of the bootstrap for time series, we propose a smooth bootstrap based on modifying a state-of-the-art block resampling approach for dependent data based on tapering windows. The resulting smooth (extended) tapered block bootstrap (TBB) is shown to provide… Advisors/Committee Members: Carroll, Raymond (advisor), Lahiri, Soumendra (advisor), Pourahmadi, Mohsen (committee member), Lowe, Bruce (committee member).

This research studies the effects of a postulated Main Steam Line Break accident in a nuclear plant on the transient loading of steam generator tubes. The problem involves complex transient two-phase flow dynamics and fluid-structural loading processes. A better understanding of this phenomenon will permit the development of improved design tools to ensure steam generator safety. This Thesis presents the results of an experimental laboratory study of the transient loading of a sectional model of steam generator tubes during a simulated two-phase blowdown. The research was carried out in a purpose designed and built experimental facility. The thermodynamic phenomena were investigated through dynamic pressures and temperatures. The transient tube loads were directly measured using dynamic load cells. The working fluid was R-134a and the tube bundle was a normal triangular array with a pitch ratio of 1.36. Preliminary testing indicated parasitic loading on the instruments and remedial actions were taken to ensure measurement accuracy. The success of the instrumentation development methodologies was validated in a series of single- phase blowdowns. Two-phase blowdown experiments were then conducted with various levels of liquid and numbers of tube rows. The results provided hitherto unknown information relating the nature of the fluid-structure interaction and flow development during a two-phase transient blowdown across a tube bundle. The pressure drop across the tube bundle established the thermal hydraulic fluid behaviour in the pressure vessel and controlled the upstream fluid discharge from the system. The flow through the bundle was choked for the majority of the transient. The transient tube loading was explained in terms of the associated fluid mechanics and the maximum load was compared with existing models obtained under steady flow conditions. An empirical model was developed that enables the prediction of the maximum tube loads once the pressure drop is known.

Thesis

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The design of nuclear plant systems requires that public safety be ensured for the worst-case imaginable accident scenarios. This means that radioactive materials produced by nuclear fission must be safely contained. If the main steam pipe from a nuclear steam generator were to break, the water in the steam generator would rapidly boil off in what is called a blowdown. Such an event could produce significant loading on the heat exchanger tubes. Should the tubes rupture, radioactive materials may breach reactor containment. Thus, knowing the tube loading during this hypothetical scenario is an important input for safe design. The goal of this research is to improve our understanding of the effects of this postulated accident on the transient loading of the tubes. A laboratory study was carried out to simulate the blowdown. The experimental results provided valuable insights and guidance for the development of improved design tools.

▼ A population of Amaranthus cruentus (UC87) and another of hypochondriacus (UC99) were subjected to Sl (selfed) family analysis of genetic variation for plant height, plant weight, head length, head weight, threshing percentage, seed yield:height ratio, days to flowering, 500 seed weight, harvest index and seed yield per plant during the summer of 1982. Mass and recurrent Sl selections were initiated on the two populations for yield:height ratio and harvest index. These selections were advanced to second generation by mass selection in the summer of 1983. The Sl selection was also done for plant weight in UC87 and days to flowering in UC99. All generations of these selection experiments were evaluated together during the summer of 1984. Population UC87 had significant variation for threshing percentage, 500 seed weight and harvest index as indicated by Sl family analysis. High direct and indirect selection gains indicated presence of additive and additive x additive effects. This was confirmed for harvest index by component variance estimates. There were signs of overdominance in Sl selections. Population UC99 had significant genotypic variation for all traits except plant weight, head length and head weight. High direct and correlated selection gains indicated high additive and additive x additive effects. This was also confirmed by the genetic component estimates for yield:height ratio and harvest index. Realized gains from mass selection were higher than their expected values and the gains from Sl selection. Gains from the second cycle mass selection were lower than gains from the first cycle mass selection. These observations were attributed to the heterogeneity of UC99, which most likely involved competition, natural selection and higher homozygosity levels. In both populations mass selection was more efficient than S1 selection. This suggested a greater role of additive than the dominance component of variation. Based on correlation coefficients and multiple stepwise regression, the best yield predictors were plant height, head weight, threshing percentage and yield:height ratio. Harvest index was an important predictor for the yield of UC99 original population in 1984 only. Yield:height ratio was the most consistent predictor; the path-coefficient analyses indicated that most other variables influenced yield through yield:height ratio. Head weight was also an important indirect path for some predictors.

▼ Two-phase gas-liquid flows in microscale fractal-like branching channel flow networks were experimentally studied to assess the validity of existing void fraction correlations and flow regimes based on superficial gas and liquid velocities. Void fractions were assessed using two different methods. First, void fraction data were acquired using a High-Speed-High-Resolution (HSHR) camera and computed by area-based two-dimensional image analysis. Void fraction data were also computed using a slip ratio, defined as gas velocity over liquid velocity. Liquid velocity represents the bulk-averaged liquid velocity as determined by microscale particle image velocimetry (micro-PIV). Gas velocity was determined by averaging gas-liquid interface velocities made at the channel centerline. The fractal-like branching channel flow network has five bifurcation levels of different channel widths varying from 400 µm to 100 µm with a fixed channel depth of 250 µm. Each downstream width decreases by 30% whereas the downstream lengths increase by 40%. The total flow length through a single path is approximately 18 mm. Filtered air and deionized water were used as the gas and liquid working fluids, respectively. Mass flow rates of air and water into each k=0 branch were varied from 0.3 g/min to 2.5 g/min and from 5.2x10⁻⁵ g/min to 1.3x10⁻² g/min, respectively. These flow rates yielded superficial air and water velocities through the same branch level between 0.007 m/s and 1.8 m/s and between 0.05 m/s and 0.42 m/s, respectively. For each branching level, due to an increase in flow area, the superficial liquid and gas flow rates change. A two-phase flow regime map was generated for each level of the fractal-like branching flow network and compared to maps developed using the Taitel and Dukler (1976) model and to maps presented in Chung and Kawaji (2004). Flow regime transitions are well predicted with the Taitel and Dukler (1976) model for each branching level. Void fraction assessed using the slip ratio shows very good agreement with the homogeneous void fraction model for all branching levels. On the other hand, void fraction determined by area-based two-dimensional image analysis shows better agreement with the void fraction correlation of Zivi (1964).

▼ This thesis contains three essays. The first essay explores the phenomena of countersignaling in a model with two different audiences: insiders and outsiders. Insiders have private information about the individual (or sender) and provide the individual with a reward if they believe the individual is of high ability. When the individual takes a public action that is associated with having low ability and is still rewarded by insiders, outsiders infer that insiders have favourable private information about the individual. Hence, taking an action commonly associated with low ability may signal to outsiders that the individual is more likely to have high ability by credibly revealing the private information of insiders. The second essay proposes two maximum score estimators for two-sided one-to-one matching models with non-transferable utility: a weighted estimator and an unweighted estimator. The weighted estimator is consistent in the number of markets, based on an identification at infinity argument. Conversely, the unweighted estimator is consistent when preferences are homogeneous. The asymptotics of the unweighted estimator are in either the number of markets or the number of individuals. The third essay examines the impact of gender on the hiring and promotion of academic economists. Past research has shown that females in North America generally experience inferior labour market outcomes, although it remains unclear the extent to which these outcomes are due to employer discrimination or gender differences in preferences. This essay seeks to answer this question through structural models that allow for the separate estimation of employer and employee preferences. The initial hiring of PhD economists is modelled as a two-sided one-to-one matching market with non-transferable utility. Post-hiring outcomes (job exit and promotion) are estimated using a two-sided probit model. In the initial hiring process, departments exhibit no gender bias. However, significant male bias is found in post-hiring job outcomes; males are more likely to be promoted and less likely to be fired. Significant differences are also found in gender preferences, with males being more likely to exit their job voluntarily. Advisors/Committee Members: Cranfield, John (advisor).

▼ This dissertation describes two-photon photoassociation to the least-bound vibrational level of the X¹Σ_g⁺ electronic ground state of the ⁸⁶Sr₂ dimer, which represents the first observation of this naturally occurring halo molecule. We measure the binding energy of this state to be E_b=83.00(7)(20)\,kHz. Using the precise determination of the halo state binding energy and the universal theory for a very weakly-bound state on a potential that asymptotes to a van der Waals form, we determine s-wave scattering lengths for all strontium isotopes. Our results are consistent with, but substantially more accurate than the previously determined values found from spectroscopic determination of long-range coefficients using other strontium isotopes. With a radial expectation value of < r > \approx 21\,nm the halo state extends well into the classically forbidden region, which results in a large sensitivity of the dimer binding energy to light near-resonant with a bound-bound transition on the metastable ^1S_0-{^3P₁} potential. This suggests that ⁸⁶Sr may be a promising candidate for manipulating atomic interactions via optical coupling of the molecular bound states and for probing naturally occurring Efimov states. Furthermore, we observe novel multi-photon spectral loss features due to strong coupling and small detuning of the photoassociation lasers. Numerical simulations of a simple three-level model undergoing a simultaneous two-frequency drive, shows that solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation accurately reproduce these additional loss features. A Floquet analysis of this model, yields analytic formulas for predicting the AC Stark shift of the halo molecule. Additionally, we report on the current state and recent modifications of our ultracold neutral strontium apparatus with a particular emphasis on the installation of a 532\,nm optical lattice. Characterization of this laser system and applications are discussed for further investigation of the strontium-86 halo molecule and additional photoassociation experiments.

▼ We consider two-way amplify-and-forward relaying in a multichannel system with two end nodes and a single relay, using a two-slot multi-access broadcast (MABC) as well as time-division broadcast (TDBC) relaying strategies. We investigate the problem of joint subchannel pairing and power allocation to maximize the achievable sum-rate in the network, under an individual power budget at each node. To solve this challenging joint optimization problem, an iterative approach is proposed to decompose the problem into pairing optimization and joint power allocation optimization, and solve them iteratively. For given power allocation, we first consider the problem of subchannel pairing at the relay to maximize the achievable sum rate in TDBC-based network. Unlike in the one-way relaying case, our result shows that there exists no explicit SNR-based subchannel pairing strategy that is optimal for sum-rate maximization for two-way relaying. Nonetheless, for TDBC-based two way relaying, we formulate the pairing optimization as an axial 3-D assignment problem which is NP-hard, and propose an iterative optimization method to solve it with complexity O(N3). Based on SNR over each subchannel, we also propose sorting-based algorithms for scenarios with and without direct link, with a low complexity of O(N logN). For the joint power allocation at the relay and the two end nodes, we propose another iterative optimization procedure to optimize the power at the two end nodes and at the relay iteratively. By using different forms of optimization parameters, the sum-rate maximization problem turns out to be convex and the optimal solutions can be obtained for each subproblem. The simulation first demonstrates the proposed sorting-based pairing algorithm offers the performance very close to the iterative optimization method. Then, shows the gain of joint optimization approach over other pairing-only or power-allocation-only optimization approaches. Advisors/Committee Members: Dong, Min, ShahbazPanahi, Shahram.

▼ Abnormal pressures have been measured in the deep boreholes at the Bruce site, southern Ontario, where a deep geologic repository for low and intermediate level radioactive waste disposal has been proposed. The pressure regime in the stratigraphic units exhibits either higher than hydrostatic pressure (over-pressured) or lower than hydrostatic pressure (under-pressured) are considered to be abnormal. At the Bruce site, the Ordovician sediments are under-pressured while the underlying Cambrian sandstone and the overlying Guelph carbonate are over-pressured. Hypotheses have been documented in literature to explain the phenomenon of abnormal pressures. These hypotheses include osmosis, glacial loading and deglaciation unloading, exhumation of overlying sediments, crustal flexure and the presence of an immiscible gas phase. Previous work on the Bruce site has shown that the under-pressures in the Ordovician limestone and shales could not be explained by glaciation and deglaciation or by saturated analyses. The presence of a gas phase in the Ordovician formations has been determined to be a reasonable cause of the under-pressure developed in the Ordovician shales and limestones at the Bruce site. Support for the presence of a gas phase includes solution concentrations of methane, concentrations of environmental isotopes related to methane and estimates of water and gas saturations from laboratory core analyses. The primary contribution of this thesis is the sensitivity analyses performed on the hydrogeologic parameters with respect to a one dimensional two-phase flow model. First, a one dimensional two-phase air and water flow model was adopted and reconstructed to simulate the long-term evolution of the groundwater regimes at the DGR site. Then the hydrogeologic parameters which impact the presence of under-pressure in the groundwater are investigated. Data required to quantify the properties of geologic media and groundwater are adopted directly from borehole testing and laboratory testing results. The permeable boundaries of the domain are assumed to be water saturated and pressure specified (using hydrostatic conditions in the Guelph Formation and hydrostatic with 120 m over-pressure condition in the Cambrian and Precambrian). Isothermal conditions were assumed, thus constant water density and viscosity values are estimated for the average total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration of the modelled stratigraphic column. A constant diffusion coefficient (a diffusivity of 0.25 × 10^-8 m²/s) of air in water is assumed with a saturation-dependent tortuosity. The air generation rate is assumed to simulate the gas phase generated in the Ordovician formations. The numerical simulation of up to 4 million years provides a means to explore the behaviour of gas phase dissipation due to partitioning into the water phase and diffusive transport in the solute phase. Results confirmed that the presence of a gas phase would result in the under-pressure in water.

▼ Little research has been done to examine how the awarding of bachelor’s degrees, by community colleges, influences the traditional associate degree-granting role of these institutions. This quantitative study investigates the impact of this change on the community colleges that have been allowed to award bachelor’s degrees, examining how this change affects the traditional associate degree granting output of these institutions. The population for this study is all public community colleges in the United States that offer associate degrees, including those awarding bachelor’s degrees. A data query was used to collect the data for this study from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) database. In the full sample, there was a correlation between the number of associate degrees awarded and whether a bachelor’s degree was offered. Schools that offered bachelor’s degrees tended to have higher numbers of associate degrees awarded. In the subsample of schools that offered bachelor’s degrees, there was a moderate positive correlation between the number of bachelor and associate degrees awarded. The number of associate degrees awarded was undiminished by the initiation of a bachelor’s degree program at two-year schools. As such, this study may indicate successful higher education marketplace competition, with community colleges evolving to offer bachelor’s degrees while successfully continuing their traditional associate degree-granting role. This study indicates that the awarding of associate and bachelor’s degrees is not mutually exclusive. The one can be conducive to the other. A successful synergy can be established. The community college bachelor’s may make sense as a competitive, market driven response to a societal need. Public community colleges that began to offer, over the last ten years, a four-year baccalaureate degree to meet higher education needs, in addition to the traditional two-year associate degree, are accomplishing this dual mission effectively. This conclusion is supported by the findings of this study and facts in the published literature. More states need to allow community colleges to offer bachelor’s degrees. In this way, the legislatures could recognize the reality of the educational and economic development needs of place-bound, non-traditional students who have increased the demand for localized bachelor’s degree programs.
