Abstract

Accurately dating phenocrysts in Holocene volcanic rocks poses many challenges but is critical to placing magmatic processes that occur prior to eruption into a temporal frame-work. We dated alkali feldspar (i.e., orthoclase Or10 to Or46) crystals in four young phonolites from the Teide–Pico Viejo volcanic complex, Tenerife (Spain), using (226Ra)/(230Th) isotopes. Partition coefficients of Ra (DRa) and DRa/DBa of feldspars were predicted using an approach based on the lattice strain model, which yielded crystallization ages that overlap or predate known eruption ages for the Lavas Negras (ca. 1 ka), Montaña Blanca (ca. 2 ka), Arenas Blancas (ca. 2–4 ka), and Teide H (ca. 6 ka) phonolites. Crystallization of feldspar may occur up to the time of eruption, with >8 ka crystals also present, possibly suggesting extended magma differentiation times. However, feldspars yielding finite (226Ra)/(230Th) ages are mostly in equilibrium with the groundmass, unlike >8 ka crystals, which were therefore identified as antecrysts/xenocrysts. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios of feldspars indicate that crystallization predated late-stage assimilation, affecting 87Sr/86Sr ratios of some melts. The (226Ra)/(230Th) ages also constrain the tempo of phonolite magma evolution on Tenerife. Integration of (226Ra)/(230Th) ages with feldspar major elements, trace elements, and isotopes provides a powerful means for investigating crystallization histories using a dominant mineral that controls the overall magmatic evolution of phonolites on thousand-year time scales.

Abstract

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) mi- croscopy shows promise as a technique for mapping chemical reactions on single nanoparticles. The technique¿s spatial resolution is limited by the quantum yield of the emission and the diffusive nature of the ECL process. To improve signal intensity, ECL dyes have been coupled with plasmonic nano- particles, which act as nanoantennas. Here, we characterize the optical properties of hexagonal arrays of gold nanodisks and how they impact the enhancement of ECL from the coreaction of tris(2,2¿-bipyridyl)dichlororuthenium(II) hexahydrate and tripro- pylamine. We find that varying the lattice spacing results in a 23- fold enhancement of ECL intensity because of increased dye-array near-field coupling as modeled using finite element method simulations.

Abstract

Periodic arrays of nanoparticles are capable of supporting lattice resonances, collective modes arising from the coherent interaction of the particles in the array. These resonances, whose spectral position is determined by the array periodicity, are spectrally narrow and lead to strong optical responses, making them useful for a wide range of applications, from nanoscale light sources to ultrasensitive biosensors. Here, we report that, by removing particles from an array in a periodic fashion, it is possible to induce lattice resonances at wavelengths commensurate with the periodicity of these vacancies, which would otherwise not be present in the system. Using a coupled dipole approach, we perform a comprehensive analysis of how the properties of these vacancy-induced lattice resonances depend on the array periodicity, the particle size, and the number of vacancies per unit of area. Furthermore, we find that these lattice resonances have a subradiant character and originate from the symmetry breaking introduced in the unit cell by the presence of the vacancies. Finally, we investigate a potential implementation of an array with vacancies made of nanocylinders embedded in a homogeneous dielectric environment. The results of this work serve to advance our understanding of lattice resonances and provide an alternative method for controlling the optical response of periodic arrays of nanostructures.

Abstract

Context. Future astrophysical surveys such as J-PAS will produce very large datasets, the so-called "big data", which will require the deployment of accurate and efficient machine-learning (ML) methods. In this work, we analyze the miniJPAS survey, which observed about similar to 1 deg(2) of the AEGIS field with 56 narrow-band filters and 4 ugri broad-band filters. The miniJPAS primary catalog contains approximately 64 000 objects in the r detection band (mag(AB)less than or similar to 24), with forced-photometry in all other filters.Aims. We discuss the classification of miniJPAS sources into extended (galaxies) and point-like (e.g., stars) objects, which is a step required for the subsequent scientific analyses. We aim at developing an ML classifier that is complementary to traditional tools that are based on explicit modeling. In particular, our goal is to release a value-added catalog with our best classification.Methods. In order to train and test our classifiers, we cross-matched the miniJPAS dataset with SDSS and HSC-SSP data, whose classification is trustworthy within the intervals 15 <= r <= 20 and 18.5 <= r <= 23.5, respectively. We trained and tested six different ML algorithms on the two cross-matched catalogs: K-nearest neighbors, decision trees, random forest (RF), artificial neural networks, extremely randomized trees (ERT), and an ensemble classifier. This last is a hybrid algorithm that combines artificial neural networks and RF with the J-PAS stellar and galactic loci classifier. As input for the ML algorithms we used the magnitudes from the 60 filters together with their errors, with and without the morphological parameters. We also used the mean point spread function in the r detection band for each pointing.Results. We find that the RF and ERT algorithms perform best in all scenarios. When the full magnitude range of 15 <= r <= 23.5 is analyzed, we find an area under the curve AUC=0.957 with RF when photometric information alone is used, and AUC

Abstract

The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey aims to constrain key Galactic dynamical and chemical evolution parameters by the construction of a large, comprehensive, uniform, infrared-based spectroscopic data set of hundreds of open clusters. This fourth contribution from the OCCAM survey presents analysis using Sloan Digital Sky Survey/APOGEE DR16 of a sample of 128 open clusters, 71 of which we designate to be "high quality" based on the appearance of their color-magnitude diagram. We find the APOGEE DR16 derived [Fe/H] abundances to be in good agreement with previous high-resolution spectroscopic open cluster abundance studies. Using the high-quality sample, we measure Galactic abundance gradients in 16 elements, and find evolution of some of the [X/Fe] gradients as a function of age. We find an overall Galactic [Fe/H] versus R gradient of -0.068 ± 0.001 dex kpc over the range of 6 < R < 13.9 kpc; however, we note that this result is sensitive to the distance catalog used, varying as much as 15%. We formally derive the location of a break in the [Fe/H] abundance gradient as a free parameter in the gradient fit for the first time. We also measure significant Galactic gradients in O, Mg, S, Ca, Mn, Cr, Cu, Na, Al, and K, some of which are measured for the first time. Our large sample allows us to examine four well-populated age bins in order to explore the time evolution of gradients for a large number of elements and comment on possible implications for Galactic chemical evolution and radial migration.

Abstract

The Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey (S-PLUS) is imaging similar to 9300 deg(2) of the celestial sphere in 12 optical bands using a dedicated 0.8mrobotic telescope, the T80-South, at the Cerro Tololo Inter-american Observatory, Chile. The telescope is equipped with a 9.2k x 9.2k e2v detector with 10 mu m pixels, resulting in a field of view of 2 deg(2) with a plate scale of 0.55 arcsec pixel-1. The survey consists of four main subfields, which include two non-contiguous fields at high Galactic latitudes (vertical bar b vertical bar > 30 degrees, 8000 deg(2)) and two areas of the Galactic Disc and Bulge (for an additional 1300 deg(2)). S-PLUS uses the Javalambre 12-band magnitude system, which includes the 5 ugriz broad-band filters and 7 narrow-band filters centred on prominent stellar spectral features: the Balmer jump/[OII], Ca H + K, Hd, G band, Mg b triplet, H alpha, and the Ca triplet. S-PLUS delivers accurate photometric redshifts (dz /(1 + z) = 0.02 or better) for galaxies with r < 19.7 AB mag and z < 0.4, thus producing a 3D map of the local Universe over a volume of more than 1 (Gpc/h)(3). The final S-PLUS catalogue will also enable the study of star formation and stellar populations in and around the Milky Way and nearby galaxies, as well as searches for quasars, variable sources, and low-metallicity stars. In this paper we introduce the main characteristics of the survey, illustrated with science verification data highlighting the unique capabilities of S-PLUS.

Abstract

© ESO 2015. Context. The discovery of new galaxy clusters is important for two reasons. First, clusters are interesting per se, since their detailed analysis allows us to understand how galaxies form and evolve in various environments and second, they play an important part in cosmology because their number as a function of redshift gives constraints on cosmological parameters. Aims. We have searched for galaxy clusters in the Stripe 82 region of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and analysed various properties of the cluster galaxies. Methods. Based on a recent photometric redshift (hereafter photo-z) galaxy catalogue, we built a cluster catalogue by applying the Adami & MAzure Cluster FInder (AMACFI). Extensive tests were made to fine-tune the AMACFI parameters and make the cluster detection as reliable as possible. The same method was applied to the Millennium simulation to estimate our detection efficiency and the approximate masses of the detected clusters. Considering all the cluster galaxies (i.e. within a 1 Mpc radius of the cluster to which they belong and with a photo-z diering by less than ±0.05 from that of the cluster), we stacked clusters in various redshift bins to derive colour-magnitude diagrams and galaxy luminosity functions (GLFs). For each galaxy brighter than Mr < - 19.0, we computed the disk and spheroid components by applying SExtractor, and by stacking clusters we determined how the disk-to-spheroid flux ratio varies with cluster redshift and mass. Results. We detected 3663 clusters in the redshift range 0.15 ≤ z ≤ 0.70, with estimated mean masses between ∼1013 and a few 1014 M⊙. We cross-matched our catalogue of candidate clusters with various catalogues extracted from optical and/or X-ray data. The percentages of redetected clusters are at most 40% because in all cases we detect relatively massive clusters, while other authors detect less massive structures.

Abstract

Carbon isotopic analysis is a useful tool for investigating paleoenvironments, as the pedogenic carbonate δ13C is related to δ13CSOM and to the proportions of C3/C4 plants. In this work we interpreted the paleoenvironmental conditions at the time of carbonate precipitation in soils formed under different climates and during different geological ages. Samples were taken from a Bk (PR1, Holocene) and from two Bkm horizons (PR2 and PR3, Pleistocene). When the mean δ13C plant values and the most plausible paleotemperatures were used in the evaluation, PR1 showed a lower percentage of C4 plants (48%) than Pleistocene soils (~53%), in agreement with paleoclimate changes. When instead the δ13C values of current plants were used for PR1, C4 plants ranged from 59 (12°C) to 66% (18°C), suggesting two possible interpretations: either plant species changed during the Holocene, or the plant mean values normally used in the literature are not suitable for Pleistocene reconstructions, L'analyse des isotopes du C peut aider à l’évaluation des paléo-environnements puisque les δ13C des carbonates pédogénétiques sont liés au δ13CSOM et au rapport entre plantes C3 et C4. Avec cette technique on a déterminé les conditions paléo-environnementales dans des sols d’âges et sous climats différents, en utilisant un horizon Bk (PR1, Holocène) et deux Bkm (PR2 et PR3, Pléistocène). En effectuant l’évaluation avec les δ13C moyens des plantes et les paléo-températures les plus plausibles, PR1 montrait une proportion des plantes C4 (48%) inférieure à celle des sols du Pléistocène (~ 53%), en accord avec les changements paléo-climatiques. Les plantes C4, cependant, variaient de 59 (12°C) à 66% (18°C) lorsqu'on utilisait pour PR1 le δ13C des plantes actuelles. Ces résultats conduisent à deux interprétations possibles, soit que les espèces ont changé au cours de l'Holocène, soit que les δ13C moyens normalement utilisés dans la littérature ne sont pas appropriés pour la reconstitution du Pléistocène., L’analisi degli isotopi del C è un utile strumento per la valutazione dei paleoambienti poiché i δ13C dei carbonati pedogenetici sono relazionati ai δ13CSOM e al rapporto tra piante C3 e C4. Con questa tecnica sono interpretate le condizioni paleoambieantali al tempo di precipitazione dei carbonati in suoli formati in climi ed ere geologiche differenti, utilizzando un orizzonte Bk (PR1, Olocene) e due Bkm (PR2 e PR3, Pleistocene). Considerando i δ13C medi delle piante e le più plausibili paleotemperature, PR1 mostrava una più bassa proporzione di piante C4 (48%) rispetto i suoli pleistocenici (~53%), in accordo con i cambiamenti paleoambientali. Le piante C4, invece, variavano da 59 (12°C) a 66% (, EQA - International Journal of Environmental Quality; Vol 7 (2011); 17-24

Abstract

[EN] Water claims in many of the world's arid basins exceed reliable supplies. Water demands for irrigation, urban use, the environment, and energy continue to grow, while supplies remain constrained by unsustainable use, drought and impacts of climate change. For example, policymakers in North America's Upper Rio Grande Basin face the challenge of designing plans for allocating the basin's water supplies efficiently and fairly to support current uses and current environments. Managers also seek resilient institutions that can ensure adequate supplies for future generations. This paper addresses those challenges by designing and applying an integrated basin-scale framework that accounts for the basin's most important hydrologic, economic, and institutional constraints. Its unique contribution is a quantitative analysis of three policies for addressing long term goals for the basin's reservoirs and aquifers: (1) no sustainability for water stocks, (2) sustaining water stocks, and (3) renewing water stocks. It identifies water use and allocation trajectories over time that result from each of these three plans. Findings show that it is hydrologically and institutionally feasible to manage the basin's water supplies sustainably. The economic cost of protecting the sustainability of the basin's water stocks can be achieved at 6-11 percent of the basin's average annual total economic value of water over a 20 year time horizon.

Abstract

This study examined cultural differences in preferences for conflict resolution styles using the dual-concern model. It was found that students in a collectivistic culture (Mexico) preferred conflict resolution styles that emphasized concern for the outcomes of others (accommodation and collaboration) to a greater degree than did students from an individualistic culture (United States). Consistent with this greater display of concern for others, the Mexican students scored significantly higher than the U.S. students on scales measuring interdependence of the self. However, they also scored higher on a scale measuring the independence of the self, suggesting that independence of the self and interdependence of the self may be separate dimensions, rather than representing a continuum. Correlational findings suggested that for interpersonal conflicts, avoidance may reflect a concern for others, rather than a lack of concern for others, as postulated by the dual-concern model.

Abstract

The global processes that determine cosmic ray modulation are reviewed. The essential elements of the theory which describes cosmic ray behavior in the heliosphere are summarized, and a series of discussions is presented which compare the expectations of this theory with observations of the spatial and temporal behavior of both galactic cosmic rays and the anomalous component; the behavior of cosmic ray electrons and ions; and the 26-day variations in cosmic rays as a function of heliographic latitude. The general conclusion is that the current theory is essentially correct. There is clear evidence, in solar minimum conditions, that the cosmic rays and the anomalous component behave as is expected from theory, with strong effects of gradient and curvature drifts. There is strong evidence of considerable latitude transport of the cosmic rays, at all energies, but the mechanism by which this occurs is unclear. Despite the apparent success of the theory, there is no single choice for the parameters which describe cosmic ray behavior, which can account for all of the observed temporal and spatial variations, spectra, and electron vs. ion behavior.

Abstract

By definition, the subjective probability distribution of a random event is revealed by the (???rational???) subject's choice between bets??? a view expressed by F. Ramsey, B. De Finetti, L.J. Savage and traceable to E. Borel and, it can be argued, to T. Bayes. Since hypotheses are not observable events, no bet can be made, and paid off, on a hypothesis. The subjective probability distribution of hypotheses (or of a parameter, as in the current???Bayesian??? statistical literature) is therefore a figure of speech, an???as if???, justifiable in the limit. Given a long sequence of previous observations, the subjective posterior probabilities of events still to be observed are derived by using a mathematical expression that would approximate the subjective probability distribution of hypotheses, if these could be bet on. This position was taken by most, but not all, respondents to a???Round Robin??? initiated by J. Marschak after M.H. De-Groot's talk on Stopping Rules presented at the UCLA Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in Behavioral Sciences. Other participants: K. Borch, H. Chernoif, R. Dorfman, W. Edwards, T.S.

Abstract

C1964, The quality and service life of the roadways that make up the highway transportation infrastructure are dependent upon, the selection and use of high quality aggregate materials. Five state transportation agencies participated in this Transportation, Pooled Fund (TPF) study, which was designed to demonstrate the use of laser scanning as a means to assess, in real-time, the, quality of aggregate used in highway construction. Participating states included Kansas, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, and, Pennsylvania. The referenced technology is based on a process referred to as Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). In this, process, a high-powered laser pulse is used to excite atoms that make up the aggregate. This excitation results in the emission of, light from a range of unique wavelengths (spectrum) that can be thought of as a “fingerprint” of the material. The development of a, database of spectra or fingerprints of many aggregate materials with known engineering properties provides the basis for, employing numerical techniques (models), similar to “fingerprint matching,” to identify the properties of unknown aggregate, material. Scanning data generated in this demonstration show that the technology can differentiate between approved and, unapproved aggregate sources. It has the potential to quantify specific test parameters such as acid insoluble residue (AIR), MicroDeval, loss, and specific gravity, as well as to identify the presence of deleterious materials, such as reactive chert, ASR and ACR, and D-cracking susceptible aggregate. It can be used to identify the aggregate source or sources of a stockpile of unknown, material(s). A total of 113 aggregates supplied by the participating states were laser-scanned using a field prototype system located in, a field materials testing laboratory in South Bethlehem, New York. The analyses in this demonstration focused on specific gravity, (bulk and SSD) and absorption, D-cracking, acid insoluble residue, Micro-Deval, and Los Angeles (LA) Abrasion Loss. The, results show that laser scanning can successfully predict the properties of aggregate, opening up a whole new way of analyzing, aggregate materials. Based on the results presented, recommended future work is outlined, some of which has been initiated and, presented herein to refine the scanning and modeling process to enhance data quality.

UHPC also possesses significant post-cracking strength and ductility due to the addition of fibers. These characteristics produce a material that provides advantages over conventional concrete; however, high costs attributed to materials and production, lack of industry familiarity and knowledge, and the absence of standardized design procedures have impeded its widespread use. To help disseminate knowledge on UHPC, two workforce development symposiums on UHPC were held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The symposiums consisted of presentations and hands-on demonstrations to introduce UHPC and distribute the findings of almost a decade of research conducted in New Mexico to a diverse audience including members of the New Mexico Department of Transportation, contractors, designers, researchers, and concrete suppliers. Through the symposiums, a more knowledgeable workforce was created, guidance on the mixing, placing, and curing of UHPC was provided, concerns were addressed, collaborations were developed, and increased interest in UHPC was generated.

Several bond strength tests including slant-shear, splitting tension, and direct tension tests were performed to assess the bond strength between UHPC and normal strength concrete (NSC) substrate with varying surface textures. Tests were also conducted to assess the early-age and longer-term shrinkage behavior and coefficient of thermal expansion of the UHPC as well as rapid chloride permeability testing. Good bond between UHPC and NSC substrate was observed even with inadequate surface texture. Combined shrinkage and thermal effects were investigated for NSC slabs overlaid with the non-proprietary UHPC by analyzing five slab-overlay sections. Each slab-overlay had a single parameter varied to isolate the effects of thickness of the NSC substrate, substrate reinforcement ratio, and exposure conditions. Increased steel reinforcement and thickness of the NSC substrate were observed to reduce the effect of UHPC overlay shrinkage. The final major experiment was to overlay a full-scale channel girder to assess the response of a high-performance concrete, pre-stressed bridge girder with a 1-in. (25-mm) UHPC overlay to flexural loading. The girder was subjected to 1000 load-unload cycles to specified service load conditions. Cyclic loading was applied both before and after application of the UHPC overlay to provide a comparison of global behavior and performance of the girder and overlay. Finally, the girder with overlay was loaded to failure to investigate post-cracking and ultimate behavior of the composite member. Little to no visible distress was observed in the overlay until loads were applied that were significantly greater than expected under normal service conditions. The results indicated that the non-proprietary UHPC has the potential to serve as an overlay material as long as proper measures are used to prepare the substrat

Abstract

The Pavement Serviceability Index (pSn is used by New Mexico Department of Transportation, (NMDOT) to express the serviceability level of a pavement section at the network level. The PSI, is calculated with distress ratings (including rutting) and roughness data. Currently, rut depth, data collected with two NMDOT-owned 3-point profilometers are not used as an input in the, calculation of PSI values. The main goal of this project was to develop and recommend a, procedure to substitute automated rut depth for rutting ratings from manual surveys. For planning, and reporting purposes, it is important for NMDOT to maintain the consistency of the methods, and data used to calculate PSI values and to docwnent any change implemented so that, comparisons of current and past conditions and performance evaluations of the network can be, made. The transition from using manual survey ratings to automated rut depth measurements, should introduce the smallest possible difference in the calculated PSI values and the overall, condition rating of the highway network. Three procedures or approaches are presented and, discussed. Regression analyses were applied to the rut depth and PSI data. Recommended, Approach A proposed preserving the current PSI formulation and factors and converting the, automated rut depth data into equivalent rutting ratings. Alternative Approach B proposed minor, modifications to the PSI formulation. A third approach (Approach C) was considered and, evaluated, but was not recommended. Results of the statistical tests performed on the data and, results are also presented. The ratings from manual surveys and automated rut depth data were, compared with detailed measurements of transverse profiles to evaluate the data from these two, methods. This report includes an implementation plan for the recommended and alternative, approaches.

Abstract

This section defines Tran-SET’s plans for managing and archiving data from the proposed research education, and outreach activities, including the collection, testing, and analysis of new technologies. The archive will include raw and analyzed data, interpretation of collected data, documentation, and related figures and tables. To ensure successful transfer and management of the generated data, a number of activities are proposed. This data management plan was created in compliance with the US Department of Transportation’s “Plan to Increase Public Access to the Results of Federally-Funded Scientific Research” Version 1.1.

Abstract

C05334, The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) has a program to collect distress data through visual surveys and uses this information at the network level, together with roughness and rutting data, to calculate its pavement serviceability index. The main goal of this research study was two-fold: revise and improve the current distress evaluation protocol with the purpose of increasing the objectivity and accuracy of the distress data and methods, and develop simple procedures to estimate distress data required for Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) reporting and for NMDOT’s Pavement Management System (PMS). A revised protocol for visual distress surveys in flexible pavements was proposed. The variability and practicality of the proposed protocol was tested in 66 sample sections and two rounds of surveys with very good results. The interrater agreements of the current and proposed protocols were evaluated applying the Average Deviation Index method. Even though the interrater agreement was different among the distress types, the proposed protocol showed good levels of agreement for all distresses, both for severity and extent. It is recommended that the distress evaluations of rigid sections rate the same distress type but include ratings of all severity levels. Field tests consisting of detailed measurements of transverse cracks, longitudinal cracks and alligator cracking were done in 15 sample sections to determine procedures to estimate distress parameters for HPMS and PMS from raters’ data of visual surveys. The Pavement Serviceability Index (PSI) was revised to accommodate the changes introduced by the proposed protocol. This report includes an implementation plan for the recommended approaches. Also included is a summary of the project goals, overview of the work performed, proposed protocol and recommendations in the format of a presentation for dissemination purposes.

Abstract

UHPC is an emerging material technology in which concrete develops very high, compressive strengths and exhibits improved tensile strength and toughness. A, comprehensive literature and historical application review was completed to determine the, characteristics and properties of UHPC currently being used in design applications. Trial, designs and cost analyses on typical prestressed concrete bridges using UHPC were, conducted and used to investigate the merits and feasibility of UHPC in prestressed concrete, design in New Mexico.
