作者： Spang, David Genis, Vladimir Department of Science Mathematics and Technology Burlington County College United States Applied Engineering Technology Program School of Technology and Professional Studies Drexel University United States

Burlington County College (BCC) is implementing the findings of an institution-level reform of its Engineering Technology programs in order to create meaningful job opportunities for displaced and incumbent workers, work-based activities and/or internships for students, and faculty development opportunities. In addition, the findings of this Engineering Technology program reform effort will be tailored to develop initiatives to increase enrollment in the Engineering Technology programs, with special attention to under-represented students. The goal of this synergistic approach is to promote and improve discussion, collaboration, and the working relationship among interested stakeholders vested in the central/southern NJ manufacturing-related industry. This project has brought together a robust consortium made up of secondary schools, a community college, a four-year university, workforce development professionals, and industry leaders. The approach of cooperative interaction is expected to serve as a model for transforming a community college technical education program in an effort to create a seamless and meaningful educational and work-entry pathway for future engineering technologists and technicians. This project is based upon work supported by the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program at the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No. 0703836. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2010.

The problem of model selection arises in a number of contexts, such as subset selection in linear regression, estimation of structures in graphical models, and signal denoising. This paper studies non-asymptotic model selection for the general case of arbitrary (random or deterministic) design matrices and arbitrary nonzero entries of the signal. In this regard, it generalizes the notion of incoherence in the existing literature on model selection and introduces two fundamental measures of coherence- termed as the worst-case coherence and the average coherence-among the columns of a design matrix. It utilizes these two measures of coherence to provide an in-depth analysis of a simple, model-order agnostic one-step thresholding (OST) algorithm for model selection and proves that OST is feasible for exact as well as partial model selection as long as the design matrix obeys an easily verifiable property, which is termed as the coherence property. One of the key insights offered by the ensuing analysis in this regard is that OST can successfully carry out model selection even when methods based on convex optimization such as the lasso fail due to the rank deficiency of the submatrices of the design matrix. In addition, the paper establishes that if the design matrix has reasonably small worst-case and average coherence then OST performs near-optimally when either (i) the energy of any nonzero entry of the signal is close to the average signal energy per nonzero entry or (ii) the signal-to-noise ratio in the measurement system is not too high. Finally, two other key contributions of the paper are that (i) it provides bounds on the average coherence of Gaussian matrices and Gabor frames, and (ii) it extends the results on model selection using OST to low-complexity, model-order agnostic recovery of sparse signals with arbitrary nonzero entries. In particular, this part of the analysis in the paper implies that an Alltop Gabor frame together with OST can successfully carr

Hydrogen in tungsten: Absorption, diffusion, vacancy trapping, and decohesion

Understanding the interaction between atomic hydrogen and solid tungsten is important for the development of fusion reactors in which proposed tungsten walls would be bombarded with high energy particles including hydrogen isotopes. Here, we report results from periodic density-functional theory calculations for three crucial aspects of this interaction: surface-to-subsurface diffusion of H into W, trapping of H at vacancies, and H-enhanced decohesion, with a view to assess the likely extent of hydrogen isotope incorporation into tungsten reactor walls. We find energy barriers of (at least) 2.08 eV and 1.77 eV for H uptake (inward diffusion) into W(001) and W(110) surfaces, respectively, along with very small barriers for the reverse process (outward diffusion). Although H dissolution in defect-free bulk W is predicted to be endothermic, vacancies in bulk W are predicted to exothermically trap multiple H atoms. Furthermore, adsorbed hydrogen is predicted to greatly stabilize W surfaces such that decohesion (fracture) may result from high local H concentrations. © 2010 Materials Research Society.

Nucleation of Ordered Phases in Block Copolymers

Physical Review Letters 2010年第14期104卷 148301-148301页

Nucleation of various ordered phases in block copolymers is studied by examining the free-energy landscape within the self-consistent field theory. The minimum energy path (MEP) connecting two ordered phases is computed using a recently developed string method. The shape, size, and free-energy barrier of critical nuclei are obtained from the MEP, providing information about the emergence of a stable ordered phase from a metastable phase. In particular, structural evolution of embryonic gyroid nucleus is predicted to follow two possible MEPs, revealing an interesting transition pathway with an intermediate perforated layered structure.

Unsteady Magnetohydrodynamic Heat Transfer in a Semi-Infinite Porous Medium with Thermal Radiation Flux: Analytical and Numerical Study

The unsteady, buoyancy-induced, hydromagnetic, thermal convection flow in a semi-infinite porous regime adjacent to an infinite hot vertical plate moving with constant velocity, is studied in the presence of significant thermal radiation. The momentum and energy conservation equations are normalized and then solved using both the Laplace transform technique and Network Numerical Simulation. Excellent agreement is obtained between both analytical and numerical methods. An increase in Hartmann number ( M 2 ) strongly decelerates the flow and for very high strength magnetic fields ( M 2 = 20), the flow is reversed after a short time interval. The classical velocity overshoot is also detected close to the plate surface for low to intermediate values of M 2 at both small and large times; however this overshoot vanishes for larger strengths of the transverse magnetic field ( M 2 = 10). An increase in radiation-conduction parameter ( K r ) significantly increases temperature throughout the porous regime at both small and larger times, adjacent to the plate, but decreases the shear stress magnitudes at the plate. Temperature gradient is reduced at the plate surface for all times, with a rise in radiation-conduction parameter ( K r ). Shear stress is reduced considerably with an increase in Darcian drag parameter ( K p ).

The emergence of low-cost sensing architectures for diverse modalities has made it possible to deploy sensor networks that acquire large amounts of very high-dimensional data. To cope with such a data deluge, manifold models are often developed that provide a powerful theoretical and algorithmic framework for capturing the intrinsic structure of data governed by a low-dimensional set of ***, these models do not typically take into account dependencies among multiple sensors. We thus propose a new joint manifold framework for data ensembles that exploits such dependencies. We show that joint manifold structure can lead to improved performance for manifold learning. Additionally, we leverage recent results concerning random projections of manifolds to formulate a universal, network-scalable dimensionality reduction scheme that efficiently fuses the data from all sensors.

Nonlocal orbital-free kinetic energy density functional for semiconductors

Physical Review B 2010年第4期81卷 045206-045206页

We propose a nonlocal kinetic energy density functional (KEDF) for semiconductors based on the expected asymptotic behavior of its susceptibility function. The KEDF’s kernel depends on both the electron density and the reduced density gradient, with an internal parameter formally related to the material’s static dielectric constant. We determine the accuracy of the KEDF within orbital-free density functional theory (DFT) by applying it to a variety of common semiconductors. With only two adjustable parameters, the KEDF reproduces quite well the exact noninteracting KEDF (i.e., Kohn-Sham DFT) predictions of bulk moduli, equilibrium volumes, and equilibrium energies. The two parameters in our KEDF are sensitive primarily to changes in the local crystal structure (such as atomic coordination number) and exhibit good transferability between different tetrahedrally-bonded phases. This local crystal structure dependence is rationalized by considering Thomas-Fermi dielectric screening theory.

The Rich-Gini-Simpson quadratic index of biodiversity

The Gini-Simpson quadratic index is a classic measure of diversity, widely used by ecologists. As shown recently, however, this index is not suitable for the measurement of beta diversity when the number of species is very large. The objective of this paper is to introduce the Rich- Gini-Simpson quadratic index which preserves all the qualities of the classic Gini-Simpson index but behaves very well even when the number of species is very large. The additive partitioning of species diversity using the Rich-Gini- Simpson quadratic index and an application from island biogeography are analyzed.

Level sets of quantum control landscapes

Level sets of quantum control landscapes

International Symposium on Communications Control and Signal Processing (ISCCSP)

作者： Vincent Beltrani Jason Dominy Tak-San Ho Herschel Rabitz Department of Chemistry Princeton University NJ USA Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics Princeton University NJ USA

A controlled quantum system possesses a search landscape defined by the observable value as a functional of the control field. Within the search landscape, there exist level sets of controls giving the same observable value. This paper focuses on level sets of the transition probability P i¿f . For transition probabilities 0 < P i¿f < 1, a first order diffeomorphic modulation observable response preserving homotopy (D-MORPH) algorithm is utilized to investigate level sets. At the top of the control landscape, P i¿f = 1, a second order D-MORPH algorithm is presented that can explore the perfect control level set. D-MORPH is utilized to identify level set members that exhibit certain desirable secondary characteristics, e.g., minimal pulse fluence. Numerical simulations for finite level systems are presented to illustrate the variety of control behavior found across level set members.

Geometrical ambiguity of pair statistics. II. Heterogeneous media

引用

Physical Review E 2010年第1期82卷 011106-011106页

作者： Yang Jiao Frank H. Stillinger Salvatore Torquato Department of Chemistry and Department of Physics Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Princeton Center for Theoretical Science Princeton University Princeton New Jersey 08544 USA

In the first part of this series of two papers [Y. Jiao, F. H. Stillinger, and S. Torquato, Phys. Rev. E 81, 011105 (2010)], we considered the geometrical ambiguity of pair statistics associated with point configurations. Here we focus on the analogous problem for heterogeneous media (materials). Heterogeneous media are ubiquitous in a host of contexts, including composites and granular media, biological tissues, ecological patterns, and astrophysical structures. The complex structures of heterogeneous media are usually characterized via statistical descriptors, such as the n-point correlation function Sn. An intricate inverse problem of practical importance is to what extent a medium can be reconstructed from the two-point correlation function S2 of a target medium. Recently, general claims of the uniqueness of reconstructions using S2 have been made based on numerical studies, which implies that S2 suffices to uniquely determine the structure of a medium within certain numerical accuracy. In this paper, we provide a systematic approach to characterize the geometrical ambiguity of S2 for both continuous two-phase heterogeneous media and their digitized representations in a mathematically precise way. In particular, we derive the exact conditions for the case where two distinct media possess identical S2, i.e., they form a degenerate pair. The degeneracy conditions are given in terms of integral and algebraic equations for continuous media and their digitized representations, respectively. By examining these equations and constructing their rigorous solutions for specific examples, we conclusively show that in general S2 is indeed not sufficient information to uniquely determine the structure of the medium, which is consistent with the results of our recent study on heterogeneous-media reconstruction [Y. Jiao, F. H. Stillinger, and S. Torquato, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 106, 17634 (2009)]. The analytical examples include complex patterns composed of building blo
