This paper involves utilizing an Arduino Uno as the primary hardware to measure the sound level in a library. The amount of noise in the region is measured using a sound sensor. The sound sensor signals are amplified using the operational amplifier function of the integrated circuit LM 567. There are two types of output available: audio and visual. The audio output takes the form of a personalized message that is played over speakers. LEDs are employed to offer visual feedback, with white LEDs used in noise-free environments (sound level 45 dB, yellow LEDs used when sound levels are above 65 decibels, and red LEDs used when sound levels are significantly above 80 decibels). A TIP 220 transistor is used to amplify the signals. A TIP 220 transistor amplifies the signals to create an output for the speaker. There is an audio message that corresponds to each sound level.

People sometimes perceive social environments as unpleasantly crowded. Previous work has linked these experiences to incidental factors such as being hungry or hot and to the relevance of the social environment for an individual’s current goals. Here, we demonstrate that crowding perceptions and evaluations also depend on specific, active threats for perceivers. Eight studies test whether infectious disease threats, which are associated with crowded conditions, increase such reactions. Across studies, pathogen threat made dense social environments seem more crowded and generated more negative affect toward these environments. These perceptions and negative feelings were more influenced by pathogen threat relative to other threats of physical danger. Finally, reactions to pathogen threat affected people’s choice of crowded versus uncrowded environments to inhabit. This research suggests that interpretations of social environments depend on the unique threats and opportunities those environments afford to individuals.

Nanotechnology is the future research area that could benefit human beings in many different directions. In order to build that technology for the human beings, it is necessary to do some research on the simulators to find out some important mechanical properties of these robots in the environment they are in, in other word, low Reynolds environments. To check the availability of the cell model, it is necessary to construct it by using MATLAB and SOLIDWORKS. After construction, the testing process would show that behavior difference of the model in relative high Reynolds environments and low Reynolds environments. The cell simulator would provide a faster swirling speed but a slower velocity in high viscosity solutions than in low viscosity solutions. That would be contradictory to the theory of the Reynolds number which potentially indicate a failure in the experiment. Thus, the macroscopic simulation model might not provide an accurate result for future nanorobotics.

Full textAbstract:
Properties such as intrinsic security, low switching power, and the possibility of fabricating interfaces such as optopneumatic interfaces without electrical parts have greatly increased interest in fluidic elements. In fluidic elements, an optical signal is converted to a pressure signal that, when appropriately amplified, commands power stages suitable for environments having the risk of explosion or electromagnetic interference. The operation and use of bistables based on the wall effect has been known among digital elements for some time, but this component has mainly been studied and applied in turbulent systems. We focus on the study and realization of a fluidic bistable amplifier operating in the laminar range and therefore switchable by extremely low control power.

Full textAbstract:
The main goal of this paper is to suppress the effect of unavoidable colored Gaussian noise on declining accuracy of transistor 1/f spectrum estimation. Transistor noises are measured by a nondestructive cross-spectrum measurement method, which is first to amplify the voltage signals through ultra-low noise amplifiers, then input the weak signals into data acquisition card. The data acquisition card collects the voltage signals and outputs the amplified noise for further analysis. According to our studies, the output 1/f noise can be characterized more accurately as non-Gaussian α-stable distribution rather than Gaussian distribution. Therefore, by utilizing the properties of α-stable distribution, we propose a cross-spectrum method effective in noisy environments based on samples normalized cross-correlation function. Simulation results and diodes output noise spectrum estimation results confirm the effectiveness of our method.

ABSTRACT Deep-subsurface samples obtained by deep drilling are likely to be contaminated with mesophilic microorganisms in the drilling fluid, and this could affect determination of the community structure of the geothermal microflora using 16S rRNA gene clone library analysis. To eliminate possible contamination by PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes from mesophiles, a combined thermal denaturation and enzyme digestion method, based on a strong correlation between the G+C content of the 16S rRNA gene and the optimum growth temperatures of most known prokaryotic cultures, was used prior to clone library construction. To validate this technique, hot spring fluid (76°C) and river water (14°C) were used to mimic a deep-subsurface sample contaminated with drilling fluid. After DNA extraction and PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA genes from individual samples separately, the amplified products from river water were observed to be denatured at 82°C and completely digested by exonuclease I (Exo I), while the amplified products from hot spring fluid remained intact after denaturation at 84°C and enzyme digestion with Exo I. DNAs extracted from the two samples were mixed and used as a template for amplification of the 16S rRNA genes. The amplified rRNA genes were denatured at 84°C and digested with Exo I before clone library construction. The results indicated that the 16S rRNA gene sequences from the river water were almost completely eliminated, whereas those from the hot spring fluid remained.

Abstract In this work we analytically investigate optimal combiners for pre-amplified diversity receivers that operate under medium-to-strong atmospheric turbulence. We first demonstrate that the combiner performance is strongly affected by the existence of a signal-amplified spontaneous emission beat noise at the output of the photodetector. Due to the signal-dependent nature of noise, the optimal combiner can be classified as a hybrid one, of which performance is between the well-known equal-gain and maximal-ratio combiner architectures. Having established the optimal design, we further assess the proposed combiner performance over gamma-gamma and negative-exponential fading environments.

The effects of radiation on an operational amplifier were investigated through simulation. The μA 741 was simulated using Spice. Under normal conditions the 741 had the following properties: offset Voltage (Vos) of 0.8 mV, bias current (IB) of 27 nA, offset current (Ios) of 1 nA, and an open loop gain (A0.1.) of 112 dB. When exposed to neutron fluence of 5 x 10¹³ n/cm², these parameters changed to offset voltage of 45 mV, bias current of 1500 nA, offset current of 500 nA, and an open loop gain of 66 dB. A new circuit is proposed that provides improvements in the above parameters. The modified circuit gives a Vos of 3 mV, IB of 200 nA, Ios of 34 nA and A0.1. of 93 dB following exposure to a neutron fluence of 5 x 10¹³n/cm².

As the oil industry continues to drill deeper to reach new wells, electronics are being required to operate at extreme pressures and temperatures. Coupled with substantial real-time data targets, the need for robust high speed electronics is quickly on the rise. This paper presents a high temperature wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) with zero temperature coefficient maximum available gain (ZTCMAG) biasing for a downhole communication system. The proposed LNA is designed and prototyped using 0.25μm GaN on SiC RF transistor technology, which is chosen due to the high junction temperature capability. Measurements show that the proposed LNA can operate reliably up to an ambient temperature of 230°C with a minimum noise figure (NF) of 2.0 dB, gain of 16.1 dB, and P1dB of 19.1 dBm from 230.5MHz — 285.5MHz. The maximum variation with temperature from 25°C to 230°C is 1.53dB for NF and 0.65dB for gain.<br>Master of Science

The objective of this work is to investigate the suitability of applying silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology to extreme environments and to design high-speed circuits in this technology to demonstrate their reliable operation under these conditions. This research focuses on exploring techniques for hardening SiGe HBT digital logic for single event upset (SEU) based on principles of radiation hardening by design (RHBD) as well as on the cryogenic characterization of SiGe HBTs and designing broadband amplifiers for operation at cryogenic temperatures. Representative circuits ranging from shift registers featuring multiple architectures to broadband analog circuits have been implemented in various generations of this technology to enable this effort.

The objective of the proposed research is to characterize the safe-operating-area of silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) under radiofrequency (RF) operation and extreme environments. The degradation of SiGe HBTs due to mixed-mode DC and RF stress has been modeled for the first time. State-of-the-art 200 GHz SiGe HBTs were first characterized, and then DC and RF stressed. Excess base leakage current was modeled as a function of the stress current and voltage. This physics-based stress model was then designed as a
sub-circuit in Cadence, and incorporated into SiGe power amplifier design to predict the
DC and RF stress-induced excess base current. Based on these studies, characterization of
RF safe-operating-area for SiGe HBTs using devices and circuits is proposed.

As the oil industry continues to drill deeper to reach previously untapped wells, the operating environments for electronic systems become harsher, especially due to high temperatures. It is essential to design electronic circuits and systems to be able to withstand these extreme temperatures. The proposed power amplifier (PA) has been designed for a downhole communication system operating at an ambient temperature of 230oC. GaN technology was chosen primarily due to its ability to function at a high junction temperature. The proposed PA was designed with Qorvo's T2G6003028-FL HEMT as it operates reliably at a high junction temperature (T_J) and also the package offers low junction to case thermal resistance . The proposed PA can operate reliably up to an ambient temperature of 230oC using passive cooling opposed to active cooling. At 230 C it operates in class A with a peak PAE of 25.03%, maximum output power of 1.66 W, peak gain of 24.5 dB, center frequency of 255 MHz with 1dB ripple in the passband over a 60 MHz bandwidth, 1dB output compression of approximately 32 dBm, and OIP3 of 37.9dBm.

The decline of easily accessible reserves pushes the oil and gas industry to explore deeper wells, where the ambient temperature often exceeds 210 °C. The need for high temperature operation, combined with the need for real-time data logging has created a growing demand for robust, high temperature RF electronics. This thesis presents the design of an intermediate frequency (IF) variable gain amplifier (VGA) for downhole communications, which can operate up to an ambient temperature of 230 °C. The proposed VGA is designed using 0.25 μm GaN on SiC high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) technology. Measured results at 230 °C show that the VGA has a peak gain of 27dB at center frequency of 97.5 MHz, and a gain control range of 29.4 dB. At maximum gain, the input P1dB is -11.57 dBm at 230 °C (-3.63 dBm at 25 °C). Input return loss is below 19 dB, and output return loss is below 12 dB across the entire gain control range from 25 °C to 230 °C. The variation with temperature (25 °C to 230 °C) is 1 dB for maximum gain, and 4.7 dB for gain control range. The total power dissipation is 176 mW for maximum gain at 230 °C.<br>Master of Science

D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2015.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-292).<br>Communications satellite operators maintain archives of component telemetry to monitor system function. Operators generally do not typically use the telemetry data for scientific analysis of the space radiation environment effects on component anomalies or performance. We partnered with four geostationary (GEO) operators, acquired >1 million hours of telemetry, and combined these data with space weather observations to investigate relationships between space weather and hardware performance. We focused on the effects of space weather on two component types: solar cells and high power amplifiers. For solar cells, by augmenting >20 years of GEO telemetry with separate GEO space weather measurements, we calculated both on-orbit degradation of Si and GaAs solar cells in an annual average sense, and also quantified the degradation of cells during severe solar proton events (SPEs) of 10 MeV protons > 10,000 pfu. A functional relationship between the amount of degradation and proton fluence is also considered. We used the calculated degradation to evaluate several combinations of space weather environment models with solar cell degradation models and found that predicted performance is within 1% of the observed degradation. These models had not previously been validated using multiple on-orbit GEO datasets. We did not find a model pairing that consistently outperformed the others over all of the datasets. For high power amplifiers, through the use of statistical analysis, simulations, and electron beam experiments we conducted a root-cause analysis of solid state power amplifier (SSPA) anomalies on-board eight GEO satellites. From the statistical analysis, we identified that the occurrence of anomalies was not random with respect to the space weather environment, but that there appeared to be a relationship to high-energy electron fluence for periods of time between 10 - 21 days before the anomalies. From the simulations and electron beam lab tests, we demonstrated that internal charging occurs in the amplifier chain, potentially identifying a cause for the observed anomalies. We substantiated an approach toward understanding space weather effects on space components by obtaining and using long-duration archives of standard commercial telemetry for scientific analysis. The analysis of large telemetry data sets of similar components over long periods of time improves our ability to assess the role of different types of space weather events in causing anomalies and helps to validate models. The findings in this work that relate deep dielectric charging to component anomalies and solar proton events to solar cell degradation make use of only a small fraction of the potentially available commercial geostationary satellite telemetry. Expansion of this work would provide additional insights on the role of space weather to the science community and to the satellite design and operator community.<br>by Whitney Quinne Lohmeyer.<br>Ph.

Full textAbstract:
Master of Science<br>Department of Plant Pathology<br>Eduard D. Akhunov<br>Loretta C. Johnson<br>Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman) is an ecologically dominant grass of the North American grasslands with precipitation-dependent productivity. However, climatic predictions for big bluestem’s dominant range in the Great Plains include increased periods of drought. The main objectives of this research were to determine the extent of neutral and non-neutral genetic differentiation and diversity among putative big bluestem ecotypes using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. This is the first study of both neutral and non-neutral genetic diversity of big bluestem which also includes source populations of well-described ecotypes studied in reciprocal common gardens. A total of 378 plants were genotyped from 11 source prairies, originating from one of three ecoregions (Central Kansas, Eastern Kansas, and Illinois). Using two AFLP primer sets, 387 polymorphic markers (error rate 9.18%) were found. Un-rooted neighbor joining tree and principle-component analyses showed continuous genetic differentiation between Kansas and Illinois putative ecotypes, with genetic overlap occurring between Kansas ecotypes. Analysis of molecular variance showed high diversity within-prairie sites (80%) relative to across-prairies (11%), and across- ecoregions (9%) (p<0.001). Within-prairie genetic diversity levels were similar among ecoregions (84-92%), with the highest genetic variation maintained in Illinois prairies (92%). Population structure analyses supported K=6 genetic clusters across the environmental gradient, with Kansas prairies belonging to three main genetic groups, and Illinois prairies having largely divergent allele frequencies from Kansas prairies. Interestingly, BAYESCAN analysis of the three putative ecotypes identified eight F[subscript]ST-outlier AFLP loci under potential diversifying selection. Frequency patterns of loci under diversifying selection were further linked to geo-environmental descriptors including precipitation, temperature severity, diurnal temperature variation, prairie location, and elevation. The observed allele frequency divergence between Kansas and Illinois ecotypes suggests tallgrass restorations should consider possible maladaptation of non-local ecotypes and genetic swamping. However, high within-prairie genetic variation may help individual big bluestem populations withstand climatic variability.

AbstractDr Michelle Locke explores the challenges of being ‘first in family’, whilst also recognising the enormous support of her family and the collective pride in her success. Dr Locke charts a circuitous route to academic work via a profession, noting the importance of learning environments which nurture and support Indigenous PhD candidates. The Covid-19 pandemic effected Dr Locke, in the practical ways that impacted many others, but she also shares the vulnerability and loss of confidence that can attend the isolation wrought by pandemic lockdowns. Dr Locke illuminates how the challenges of learning the language of academia can be both a barrier and once learned a form of entry. Central to Dr Locke’s chapter is the importance of publishing, along with the weight of responsibility for ensuring that Indigenous voices are both valued through careful data analysis and amplified by thoughtful publishing.

AbstractIndividuals and groups leave evidence of their lives when they are engaged in their activities. In this way, they create a rich amount of material that tells us about their behaviours, opinions and values. This material is not created for research purposes and is different from that solicited by researchers. In recent decades, the spread of new communication technologies has amplified the possibility of creating and disseminating this kind of data outside the research context.In this chapter, what people leave behind (WPLB) online is studied from a strictly methodological point of view. What kind of evidence are researchers dealing with? Is it possible to reconnect it with the traditional methodological framework? We suggest that data left behind by people and groups on the Internet should be divided into three different categories: online found data (digital traces), online retrieved data (web-mediated documents) and online captured data (online behaviours). The phase of contextualization proves essential in understanding the very nature of (online) data.This work leads to rediscovering the potential of classical methodological tools such as simple observation, documentary analysis and trace analysis. These practices provide methodological value to research projects that analyse WPLB in physical and web-mediated environments.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe ability of humans to colonize islands in the ancient past required centuries of innovation in boat construction and the development of increasingly sophisticated seafaring technologies and wayfinding strategies. Nowhere is this more evident than in the vast expanse of the Pacific, where around 3000 years ago, Micronesian and Polynesian voyagers colonized what were arguably the most remote and difficult places to reach on Earth. Because the biota on these islands evolved for thousands, or even millions of years, high rates of endemism in these environments also made them ecologically fragile. The first arrival of Homo sapiens—the ultimate adaptive omnivore—caused a wide variety of impacts that were amplified by an order of magnitude with Euro-American incursion. In this sense, as aquatically bounded places, islands serve as model systems and microcosms for how humans have affected the earth’s biosphere in the modern age. In this chapter, I document how the first island colonizers caused certain levels of ecological destruction, using Hawaiian and New Zealand birds as primary case studies. However, I take this concept further, suggesting that the processes involved in the prehistoric colonization and settlement of islands is also a corollary for how we can view the earth and future efforts to colonize other planets. Humanity is at a global tipping point, with unsustainably high human population impacts, habitat destruction, climate change, and recent pandemics. As the possibility of extraplanetary migration becomes an increasing reality—perhaps a necessity to ensure our survival—what lessons can be learned from the anthropological and archaeological study of islands as we seek new lives beyond terra firma? What are the possible consequences for our lineage and extraterrestrial life on this planet and beyond?

AbstractAn increased movement towards developing digital fundamental rights can be observed. This includes a call for amplified autonomy of online users. This chapter defines the right to autonomy in the digital environment and assesses different dimensions of autonomy as a concept. This is done by identifying these dimensions in the Digital Markets Act (hereinafter DMA) the sectoral regulation of large online platforms that has recently entered the EU scene. The chapter identifies two dimensions of autonomy in the DMA: self-empowering as to data gathering and autonomy as being free from manipulation. The chapter also offers some recommendations as to how to tackle autonomy in a digital environment.

AbstractMining, particularly for copper, has long been considered ‘Chile’s national salary.’ Similarly, hopes for national wealth have long coexisted in tension with the environmental harms that mining causes—water use, toxic waste, landscape destruction, and more. This tension has become acute as mining has intensified and its impacts amplified with climate change. The CC grappled with these competing goals in its efforts to redefine the conditions for mining in Chile, aiming to create a framework better able to take mining into a future rocked by climate change. This chapter highlights the importance of constitutional reform for the governance of extractive operations, in Chile and elsewhere, as well as the implications of the CC Statute of Minerals (Articles 145–147) for how to assess and understand the global expansion of ‘green’ energy initiatives.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractNearly five centuries of human presence on the islands of the Gulf of Guinea have considerably marked the landscape with the replacement of natural habitats by roças (plantations) and other settlements, the introduction of numerous exotic plant and animal species, and the exploitation of resources needed for urban construction and daily life of the growing human population. Exponential population growth and, consequently, the urban sprawl are resulting in deforestation, illegal beach sand mining, exhaustion of natural resources, expansion of non-endemic species, and extermination of the endemic ones, thus causing immense resource exploitation and rapid environmental deterioration. The absence of an effective territorial planning amplifies the island’s vulnerability and increases the fragility of the ecosystems, posing clear threats to the islands’ unique biodiversity.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The microbiological community structure within a proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain (YM), NV was determined. Microbial growth from collected rock was detected using simulated ground water as a growth medium, with or without amendment of a carbon source. Grown isolates were identified by 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence analysis. A more complete compositional analysis of the microbial community located at the proposed nuclear waste repository site was performed using environmental DNA isolation and subsequent identification of amplified 16S rDNA genes. Concurrently, a series of corrosion testing tanks that simulate the evolution of anticipated environmental conditions within the proposed repository have been subjected to the same type of analyses.

Full textAbstract:
In an effort to improve efficiency, reliability and reduce costs, engineers are moving towards distributed control systems on trains, cars, planes and other systems in place of centralized control systems. In a distributed control system, sensors, processors and actuators are all located together at remote locations [1]. Distributed control systems require significantly less cabling which leads to weight reductions and therefore cost and energy savings. To implement distributed control, in many applications sensors and their electronics must be able to withstand higher temperatures. Kulite Semiconductor Products has therefore developed a high temperature amplifier to be coupled with high temperature pressure sensors. While the suitable sensing technologies have been under the development for some time, the development of an Application Specific Integrated circuit (ASIC) utilizing SOI technology is now introduced and optimized. This paper reports on the latest developments of the Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) piezoresistive sensors, the SOI application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and the high temperature packaging of the two together. The design of the latest miniature amplified-pressure transducers capable of operating reliably under extreme environmental conditions (in excess of 250°C and under accelerations of greater than 200g) is described in detail. The performance of such amplified pressure transducers is presented and indicates that ruggedized, piezoresistive transducers with excellent static and dynamic performance characteristics are capable of operation in extremely harsh, high temperature environments.

Full textAbstract:
Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) has been observed at the Balmer α wavelength from two-photon excited 3S and 3D hydrogen atoms. ASE has several advantages for atom diagnostic measurements in reacting flows compared to resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization or laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). The ASE signal is collimated along the excitation laser beam, which simplifies optical alignment, reduces the necessary optical access, and increases the spectral brightness. These can be significant advantages in reacting flows and material processing plasmas where ion collection probes can alter the process and LIF measurement precision and detectivity is often limited by background optical emission. Simultaneous ASE and LIF measurements in a variety of collisional environments are discussed, which demonstrate the influence of gas collisions on the ASE signal. Bandwidth measurements of the ASE are demonstrated for single laser pulses.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the fast-paced realm of engineering, achieving peak performance necessitates more than technical expertise—it demands the establishment of a psychologically safe environment. This presentation immerses itself in the critical domain of psychological safety within engineering contexts, positioning itself not merely as a research endeavor but as a proactive blueprint for problem-solving and performance enhancement. The central objective is a meticulous assessment and targeted addressing of how psychological safety directly shapes the performance of individuals and teams in engineering settings. With a keen focus on promoting creativity, teamwork, and overall well-being, the presentation goes beyond issue identification, delivering actionable insights. A comprehensive problem-solving approach forms the foundation, integrating qualitative and quantitative evaluations seamlessly. Surveys, in-depth interviews, and discussions serve as tools to gauge the perceived psychological safety of engineering professionals, moving beyond mere measurement to a deeper understanding and resolution. Discontented with the status quo, the paper delves into current psychological safety interventions, questioning their alignment with the dynamic nature of engineering. This exploration forms part of the procedural methodology, offering not just problem identification but unique insights into influential variables and actionable strategies for enhancement. Preliminary findings drawn from the trenches of real-world engineering workplaces underscore a tangible connection between robust psychological safety and heightened problem-solving abilities, amplified creativity, and a greater willingness to take risks. This is not a theoretical concept but a palpable reality shaping the outcomes of engineering endeavors. Observations from the study unveil a direct correlation between psychological safety and job satisfaction, hinting at a potential solution to the enduring challenge of retaining top talent over the long term. This goes beyond academia—it's about cultivating workplaces where professionals not only survive but thrive and grow. The paper invites participation in laying the groundwork for practical policy and structural improvements to promote psychological safety in engineering teams. It's a call to elevate not just individual professionals but the entire field. This isn't confined to research; it's a problem-solving initiative breaking free from conventional workplace norms and providing tailored interventions. Together, the aim is to shape a future where psychological safety stands as the cornerstone for success in engineering.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract High sour fields beyond 10% H2S concentration are considered one of the severe environments that require suitable tubular components and accessories in upstream environment to ensure sustainable production. Such environments represent a challenging operating envelop where durability and safety are the top concerns due to higher H2S concentration at a higher partial pressure and higher temperature (HPHT). The risk is amplified for the wells with higher than 10% H2S concentration, namely the High H2S wells, and those exceeding 25% H2S concentration which are typically labeled as Ultra-High H2S wells. Corrosion in gas operations can be aggravated in downhole where high H2S at higher temperatures pose additional challenges. Selection of proper material to ensure a sustainable well condition is one of the important elements for the development of these HPHT gas wells. Various challenges were identified, including the selection of cost-effective material which is capable of withstanding short and long term H2S and CO2 partial pressures as well as control generalized CO2 corrosion, sulfide stress cracking (SSC), and stress-oriented hydrogen induced cracking (SOHIC). With the advancement of Non-Metallics (NM) materials in several applications across the O&G sector, it holds a promise to provide an alternative material solution in lieu of CRA alloy material for the HPHT downhole applications. NM materials are lightweight and they can be designed to withstand higher strength capability in addition to their outstanding corrosion resistance properties in a high H2S environment. Moreover, they can be engineered to fulfill the intended application due to their high design flexibility and durability. In the downhole applications, there is a number of NM products that have been implemented in sour environments, including sealants as well as downhole accessories and tools, where the list of NM technologies is considerably growing. This paper highlights the concept of using NM products such as coiled tubulars, pressure control equipment and elastomers as well as the challenges on the development and deployment of these key components in high sour fields.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has amplified malware risks, challenging traditional detection methods. Conventional machine learning relies on large labeled datasets, which often fall short in addressing emerging malware variants. Furthermore, the uneven distribution of IoT malware families across different CPU architectures complicates the effectiveness of detection methods. To overcome these challenges, we propose leveraging few-shot learning (FSL) for IoT malware analysis. This innovative approach enables accurate detection with limited sample sizes, improves adaptability to new and evolving threats, and reduces the burden of data labelling. Although FSL holds great promise, it remains largely underexplored in the domain of IoT malware detection. This research investigates the capability of FSL to enhance classification accuracy and robustness, particularly in cases with scarce or imbalanced datasets. Our findings aim to contribute to the development of adaptable and efficient solutions for the ever-evolving threat landscape in IoT environments.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper a passive bilateral tele-operation between two pneumatic actuators is presented. The co-ordinated system is controlled to behave as a rigid mechanical tool that interacts with the human and other environment inputs. The input human forces when applied via a force sensor, can be amplified through the tele-operator to provide assistance for the human operator to perform the task either remotely or on-site. By ensuring that the system is energetically passive, robust stability is gauranteed during interaction with humans and various environments. Heat transfer during actuation affects the force output of a pneumatic actuator. The significance of this effect is studied by modeling the actuator dynamics for isothermal and adiabatic process. Control schemes for these two extreme cases of heat transfer are developed separately. Experimental evaluation of the controllers is done on two single d.o.f. pneumatic actuators. Results show good co-ordination between master and slave actuators, both in free motion and during hard contact. The root mean square position co-ordination error for isothermal model is 1mm in free motion and 3.5mm during hard contact. The corresponding errors for adiabatic model are 0.8mm and 2.5mm respectively. Human force amplification, and force reflection during hard contact are also experimentally demonstrated for both isothermal and adiabatic model. From these results it is apparent that the difference between isothermal and adiabatic assumptions is not very significant.

Full textAbstract:
The bipolar operational amplifier is an important kind of electronic device used in the nuclear reactor control system and its radiation damage threatens the reliability of nuclear operation. In order to explore the degradation of the bipolar operational amplifier induced by reactor neutron and gamma irradiation, radiation experiments were accomplished on particular bipolar operational amplifiers OP07 manufactured by Texas Instruments and Analog Devices. The amplifiers were irradiated in three different environments respectively: individual neutrons, individual gamma rays and mixed irradiation of reactor neutrons and gamma rays simultaneously. The results indicate that for both types of bipolar operational amplifiers, the degradations of the input bias current and the input offset voltage induced by the mixed irradiation of reactor neutrons and gamma rays simultaneously are notably more severe than the simple sum of neutron and gamma degradations measured individually. The mixed irradiation of reactor neutron and gamma rays simultaneously leads to degradation enhancement compared to individual ones and induce ionizing/displacement synergistic effects in the amplifiers. Enough attention should be paid to the degradation enhancement induced by the mixed irradiation for devices may exhibit unexpected failure during reactor operation and accelerate the aging of the nuclear reactor control system.

Full textAbstract:
The ultraviolet resonance Raman (UVRR) excitation profiles have been measured for the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine and tyrosinate. Resonance excitation enhances Raman scattering from vibrational modes that distort the ground state configuration towards the configuration of the excited state. The excitation profile maxima are red-shifted with respect to the absorption spectral maxima for each aromatic amino acid. These excitation profiles indicate the excitation required to maximally enhance a particular aromatic amino acid residue in a protein. Individual aromatic amino acids in environmentally distinguishable positions in a protein may have slightly different transition energies, and could therefore be identified and distinguished by proper tuning of the excitation frequency. For example, surface tyrosyl residues in hydrophilic environments will have lower lying excited states due to extensive hydrogen bonding. These residues will be maximally enhanced with longer wavelength excitation than residues buried in hydrophobic pockets within a protein. The frequency of certain vibrational bands, particularly those known to be influenced by substituents on the aromatic ring may also be indicative of the local environment. The relative intensities of other enhanced bands may also contain information concerning specific local environment. For example, the relative intensity of the peaks of the 830/850 cm-1 Fermi resonance doublet of tyrosine are known from normal Raman studies to be sensitive to hydgrogen bonding. Vibrational substructure is not observed in absorption spectral measurements due to the breadth of the absorption spectral features. The vibrational substructure is amplified in the resonance Raman excitation profiles.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we discuss the importance of families for understanding economic inequality. Family structure can in principle be an amplifier or mitigator of economic inequality. We describe three channels on how families shape economic inequality. First, how people match to form families matters for inequality across families. Second, parental investments in children can amplify existing inequalities across generations. Third, inequality can exist even within families, and the economic environment can shape inequality in consumption and leisure between spouses. In this survey we describe these channels and discuss the related literature.

Full textAbstract:
Anthropogenic climate change is amplified in the Arctic, where less sea ice enables energetic wave climates while higher air and soil temperatures increase tundra erodibility. These changes are likely to exacerbate retreat of coastal tundra yet remain poorly constrained on timescales relevant to storm wave impacts. A stochastic weather generator is used to create 1,000 synthetic hourly time series of waves, water levels, offshore sea ice concentration, and air temperatures used as forcing for an efficient coastal tundra model. The ensemble set of morphological change simulations provides a probabilistic perspective on the range of tundra retreats and the relative effects of each environmental forcing. Ensembles show as the depth of the erodible layer increases, the style of tundra retreat shifts from a consistent recession to intermittent events with large magnitudes and a factor 2 range in outcomes. Model scenarios highlight shallower thaw depths narrows the range of retreats and reduces individual extreme events, but a dynamic feedback between beach slopes, wave runup, and thermally limited erosion volumes ultimately increases the number of storm events associated with retreat. The minimum tundra retreat is governed by background shoreline change and the specifics of the topographic profile dominate underlying changes in the future wave climate statistics and open water season. As the Arctic continues to warm, the change in retreat style will have significant ramifications for coastal resilience.

Full textAbstract:
Prior to 2020, ongoing discourse in the higher education sector underscored the increasingly complex mental health and wellbeing challenges faced by students. The “post-COVID-19” period witnessed a resurgence of international students arriving in Western Australia. Emerging cost of living pressures, accommodation shortages, and changing visa work hours have amplified the distinct challenges international students encounter, prompting renewed discussions surrounding a need for effective support interventions. Drawing inspiration from successful initiatives at Edith Cowan University, Murdoch University introduced the Murdoch International Café—a program focused on providing distinct spaces of support for international students. This supportive environment enables social connection, effective information sharing, and normalised student challenges and support seeking behaviour. Additionally, Murdoch University's Virtual International Student Hub (VISH) extends this support online. In this paper, collaborative autoethnographic methods offer insights into the efficacy of these initiatives and further explore how these proactive, student-centric mental health interventions potentially cater to the evolving needs of international students.

Abstract: Augmented Human Intelligence (AHI) represents a paradigm shift in human-AI collaboration, leveraging Generative AI, Quantum Computing, and Extended Reality (XR) to enhance cognitive capabilities, decision-making, and immersive interactions. Generative AI enables real-time knowledge augmentation, automated creativity, and adaptive learning, while Quantum Computing accelerates AI optimization, pattern recognition, and complex problem-solving. XR technologies provide intuitive, immersive environments for AI-driven collaboration, bridging the gap between digital and physical experiences. The convergence of these technologies fosters hybrid intelligence, where AI amplifies human potential rather than replacing it. This research explores AI-augmented cognition, quantum-enhanced simulations, and AI-driven spatial computing, addressing ethical, security, and societal implications of human-machine synergy. By integrating decentralized AI governance, privacy-preserving AI techniques, and brain-computer interfaces, this study outlines a scalable framework for next-generation augmented intelligence applications in healthcare, enterprise intelligence, scientific discovery, and immersive learning. The future of AHI lies in hybrid intelligence systems that co-evolve with human cognition, ensuring responsible and transparent AI augmentation to unlock new frontiers in human potential.

Full textAbstract:
Unfolding processes of timbre and memory in improvisational piano performance This exposition is an introduction to my research and practice as a pianist, in which I unfold processes of timbre and memory in improvised music from a performer’s perspective. Timbre is often understood as a purely sonic perceptual phenomenon. However, this is not in accordance with a site-specific improvisational practice with changing spatial circumstances impacting the listening experience, nor does it take into account the agency of the instrument and objects used or the performer’s movements and gestures. In my practice, I have found a concept as part of the creating process in improvised music which has compelling potential: Timbre orchestration. My research takes the many and complex aspects of a performance environment into account and offers an extended understanding of timbre, which embraces spatial, material and bodily aspects of sound in improvised music performance. The investigative projects described in this exposition offer a methodology to explore timbral improvisational processes integrated into my practice, which is further extended through collaborations with sound engineers, an instrument builder and a choreographer: -experiments in amplification and recording, resulting in Memory piece, a series of works for amplified piano and multichannel playback - Piano mapping, a performance approach, with a custom-built device for live spatialization as means to expand and deepen spatio-timbral relationships; - Accretion, a project with choreographer Toby Kassell for three grand pianos and a pianist, where gestural approaches are used to activate and compose timbre in space. Together, the projects explore memory as a structural, reflective and performative tool and the creation of performing and listening modes as integrated parts of timbre orchestration. Orchestration and choreography of timbre turn into an open and hybrid compositional approach, which can be applied to various contexts, engaging with dynamic relationships and re-configuring them.

To build on the University’s open research policy and infrastructure, the purpose of the group was to facilitate ongoing research and development of best practice approaches for our interdisciplinary environment to make outputs, data and other products of our research publicly available, building on University of Dundee’s Open Research policy and infrastructure. Through informal consultations with academic staff and students, the Open Research Working Group found that: → access and reach of research findings can be amplified through effective knowledge mobilisation, and stakeholder and patient and public involvement; and → there was a need for guidance and resources on how-to implement knowledge mobilisation activities with and for stakeholders throughout the entire research process – from proposal development to project completion. In June 2021, the Open Research working group, in partnership with Simon Fraser University’s Knowledge Mobilization Hub began the development of an Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT) Toolkit, with funding support from the University of Dundee’s Doctoral Academy and Organisational Professional Development.

Through informal consultations with academic staff and students, the Open Research Working Group found that: → access and reach of research findings can be amplified through effective knowledge mobilisation, and stakeholder and patient and public involvement; and → there was a need for guidance and resources on how-to implement knowledge mobilisation activities with and for stakeholders throughout the entire research process – from proposal development to project completion. In June 2021, the Open Research working group, in partnership with Simon Fraser University’s Knowledge Mobilization Hub began the development of an Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT) Toolkit, with funding support from the University of Dundee’s Doctoral Academy and Organisational Professional Development. IKT is an approach to knowledge translation that emphasises working in an engaged and collaborative partnership with stakeholders throughout the research cycle in order to have positive impact. The aim was to co-produce evidence-informed, best practice learning materials on how-to: → maintain ongoing relationships between researchers, community stakeholders and decision-makers in research development and implementation; and → facilitate an integrated, participatory way of knowledge production whereby researchers, practitioners and other knowledge users can collaborate to co-generate new and accessible knowledge that can be utilised in contexts ranging from supporting community development to policy guidance for practice. The IKT Toolkit was informed by a focused evidence review and synthesis of published peerreviewed and grey literature and consists of 8 knowledge briefs and a slide deck co-produced for use in any discipline or sector. Each knowledge brief provides practical guidance and resources to support an IKT process in each of eight key research stages: (i) Partnership Building; (ii) Generating Priorities and Ideas; (iii) Proposal development; (iv) Study Design; (v) Data Collection; (vi) Data Analysis; (vii) Reporting and (viii) Dissemination. The current knowledge brief provides IKT guidance on Research Stage 5: Data Collection.

In 2020, the University of Dundee initiated the development of an Open Research strategy. As part of this initiative, in February 2021 the University’s Library and Learning Centre together with Open Research Champions from the Schools of Health Sciences and Dentistry, formed an Open Research Working group. To build on the University’s Open Research policy and infrastructure, the purpose of the group was to facilitate ongoing research and development of best practice approaches for our interdisciplinary environment to make outputs, data and other products of our research publicly available. Through informal consultations with academic staff and students, the Open Research Working Group found that: → access and reach of research findings can be amplified through effective knowledge mobilisation, and stakeholder and patient and public involvement; and → there was a need for guidance and resources on how-to implement knowledge mobilisation activities with and for stakeholders throughout the entire research process – from proposal development to project completion.
