Angular Dependence Of The Magnetization Relaxation In Co/Pt Multilayers, Anil Adhikari, Bryce Herrington, Nhat Nguyen, Ruthi Zielinski, Ather Mahmood, S. Adenwalla, Robert Streubel Sep 2023

Angular Dependence Of The Magnetization Relaxation In Co/Pt Multilayers, Anil Adhikari, Bryce Herrington, Nhat Nguyen, Ruthi Zielinski, Ather Mahmood, S. Adenwalla, Robert Streubel

Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications

We study the influence of defects in Co/Pt multilayers on the room-temperature magnetization reversal and relaxation mechanisms via angle-dependent magnetic viscosity and coercive field measurements. The data reveal a transition from pinning-dominated domain wall propagation to a sequence of pinning-dominated and uniform switching, with increasing tilt away from the normal direction. The leading role of the dendritic domain wall propagation in the nanogranular exchange-coupled films is corroborated by the scaling of relaxation times, the angular dependence of the coercive field, and Kerr microscopy.


Perceptual Cue-Guided Adaptive Image Downscaling For Enhanced Semantic Segmentation On Large Document Images, Chulwoo Pack, Leen-Kiat Soh, Elizabeth Lorang Sep 2023

Perceptual Cue-Guided Adaptive Image Downscaling For Enhanced Semantic Segmentation On Large Document Images, Chulwoo Pack, Leen-Kiat Soh, Elizabeth Lorang

School of Computing: Faculty Publications

Image downscaling is an essential operation to reduce spatial complexity for various applications and is becoming increasingly important due to the growing number of solutions that rely on memory-intensive approaches, such as applying deep convolutional neural networks to semantic segmentation tasks on large images. Although conventional content-independent image downscaling can efficiently reduce complexity, it is vulnerable to losing perceptual details, which are important to preserve. Alternatively, existing content-aware downscaling severely distorts spatial structure and is not effectively applicable for segmentation tasks involving document images. In this paper, we propose a novel image downscaling approach that combines the strengths of both …

In lakes, the rates of gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (R), and net ecosystem production (NEP) are often controlled by resource availability. Herein, we explore how catchment vs. within lake predictors of metabolism compare using data from 16 lakes spanning 39oN to 64oN, a range of inflowing streams, and trophic status. For each lake, we combined stream loads of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) with lake DOC, TN, and TP concentrations and high frequency in situ monitoring of dissolved oxygen. We found that stream load stoichiometry indicated lake stoichiometry …

Single activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) in a homogeneous system is sometimes insufficient for producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) for water treatment applications. In this work, manganese spinel ferrite and graphitic carbon nitride (MnFe2O4/g-C3N4; MnF) were successfully used as an activator for PMS under visible light irradiation to remove the four-mostdetected- hormone-contaminated water under different environmental conditions. The incorporation of g-C3N4 in the nanocomposites led to material enhancements, including increased crystallinity, reduced particle agglomeration, amplified magnetism, improved recyclability, and increased active surface area, thereby facilitating the PMS activation and electron …

Analogue Model Of Rift Linkage And Inversion With Application To The Western Alps, Nicolas Dall’Asta, Yoann Denèle, Vincent Regard, Anne Frayssignes, Guilhem Hoareau, Sylvie Leroy, Thibaut Pires Sep 2023

Analogue Model Of Rift Linkage And Inversion With Application To The Western Alps, Nicolas Dall’Asta, Yoann Denèle, Vincent Regard, Anne Frayssignes, Guilhem Hoareau, Sylvie Leroy, Thibaut Pires

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Along-strike segmentation of orogens raises questions because its causes may predate orogeny in relation to structural inheritance. Here we focus on rift/margin linkage domains and their inversion by using analogue models with image analysis to extract the 3D strain field. Extensional models document, depending on the strike-perpendicular offset and the brittle-crust thickness, three types of rift linkage modes: (1) oblique linkage with early T-fault, (2) strongly-oblique linkage with R-fault network and, (3) transfer-linkage with late Y-strike-slip fault. Analogue model of inverted rift basins is used to analyse the misunderstood tectonic evolution of transition zones in the segmented Western Alpine belt.

Measurement Of The Dependence Of The Hadron Production Fraction Ratios F S/F U And F D/F U On B Meson Kinematic Variables In Proton-Proton Collisions At √S=13 Tev, A. Tumasyan

Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications

The dependence of the ratio between the B0s and B+ hadron production fractions, fs/fu, on the transverse momentum (pT) and rapidity of the B mesons is studied using the decay channels B0sJ/ψϕ and B+J/ψK+. The analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment in 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 61.6 fb−1. The fs/fu ratio is observed to depend on the B …


Mass-Selected Ion–Molecule Cluster Beam Apparatus For Ultrafast Photofragmentation Studies, Xiaojun Wang, Mahmudul Hasan, Lin Fan, Yibo Wang, Hui Li, Daniel S. Slaughter, Martin Centurion Sep 2023

Mass-Selected Ion–Molecule Cluster Beam Apparatus For Ultrafast Photofragmentation Studies, Xiaojun Wang, Mahmudul Hasan, Lin Fan, Yibo Wang, Hui Li, Daniel S. Slaughter, Martin Centurion

Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications

We describe an apparatus for investigating the excited-state dissociation dynamics of mass-selected ion–molecule clusters by mass-resolving and detecting photofragment-ions and neutrals, in coincidence, using an ultrafast laser operating at high repetition rates. The apparatus comprises a source that generates ion–molecule clusters, a time-of-flight spectrometer, and a mass filter that selects the desired anions, and a linear-plus-quadratic reflectron mass spectrometer that discriminates the fragment anions after the femtosecond laser excites the clusters. The fragment neutrals and anions are then captured by two channeltron detectors. The apparatus performance is tested by measuring the photofragments: I, CF3I, …


Climate Change Impacts And Adaptation To Permafrost Change In High Mountain Asia: A Comprehensive Review, Prashant Baral, Simon Allen, Jakob F. Steiner, Tika R. Gurung, Graham Mcdowell Sep 2023

Climate Change Impacts And Adaptation To Permafrost Change In High Mountain Asia: A Comprehensive Review, Prashant Baral, Simon Allen, Jakob F. Steiner, Tika R. Gurung, Graham Mcdowell

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Changing climatic conditions in High Mountain Asia (HMA), especially regional warming and changing precipitation patterns, have led to notable effects on mountain permafrost. Comprehensive knowledge of mountain permafrost in HMA is mostly limited to the mountains of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, with a strong cluster of research activity related to critical infrastructure providing a basis for related climate adaptation measures. Insights related to the extent and changing characteristics of permafrost in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), are much more limited. This study provides the first comprehensive review of peer-reviewed journal articles, focused on hydrological, ecological, and geomorphic impacts associated with thawing …


Two New Absolute Gravity Base Stations Established In Lincoln, Ne, Kris Guthrie, Irina Filina Sep 2023

Two New Absolute Gravity Base Stations Established In Lincoln, Ne, Kris Guthrie, Irina Filina

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Two new absolute gravity base stations were established on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln City Campus in April 2022. The values were transferred with a relative gravity meter from four existing stations within 238 miles and were later validated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The final values at 22.5 cm above marker height are 980177.781 ± 0.010 mGal at the Lincoln Bell Tower Station and 980178.079 ± 0.010 mGal at the Lincoln Museum station with a gravity gradient of -3.105 µGal/cm. This paper describes the process of transferring gravity values and outlines recommendations for similar projects in the future.

Measurement Of The Top Quark Mass Using A Profile Likelihood Approach With The Lepton + Jets Final States In Proton–Proton Collisions At √ S = 13tev, A. Tumasyan

Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications

The mass of the top quark is measured in 36.3 fb−1 of LHC proton–proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at √ s = 13 TeV. The measurement uses a sample of top quark pair candidate events containing one isolated electron or muon and at least four jets in the final state. For each event, the mass is reconstructed from a kinematic fit of the decay products to a top quark pair hypothesis. A profile likelihood method is applied using up to four observables per event to extract the top quark mass. The top quark mass is measured …

Elevated Risk Of Compound Extreme Precipitation Preceded By Extreme Heat Events In The Upper Midwestern United States, Manas Khan, Rabin Bhattarai, Liang Chen Sep 2023

Elevated Risk Of Compound Extreme Precipitation Preceded By Extreme Heat Events In The Upper Midwestern United States, Manas Khan, Rabin Bhattarai, Liang Chen

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Compound extreme events can potentially cause deadlier socio-economic consequences. Although several studies focused on individual extreme climate events, the occurrence of compound extreme events is still not well studied in the upper Midwestern United States. In this study, compound extreme precipitation preceded by extreme hot day events was investigated. Results showed a strong linkage between extreme precipitation events and extreme hot days. A significant increasing trend was noticed mainly in Iowa (10.1%), northern parts of Illinois (5.04%), and Michigan (5.04%). Results also showed a higher intensity of extreme precipitation events preceded by an extremely hot day compared to the intensity …
