Enhancing Security Incident Response Follow-Up Efforts With Lightweight Agile Retrospectives, George Grispos, William Bradley Glisson, Tim Storer
Enhancing Security Incident Response Follow-Up Efforts With Lightweight Agile Retrospectives, George Grispos, William Bradley Glisson, Tim Storer
Interdisciplinary Informatics Faculty Publications
Security incidents detected by organizations are escalating in both scale and complexity. As a result, security incident response has become a critical mechanism for organizations in an effort to minimize the damage from security incidents. The final phase within many security incident response approaches is the feedback/follow-up phase. It is within this phase that an organization is expected to use information collected during an investigation in order to learn from an incident, improve its security incident response process and positively impact the wider security environment. However, recent research and security incident reports argue that organizations find it difficult to learn …

Identification Of Hydrated And Dehydrated Lipids And Protein Secondary Structures In Seeds Of Cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum) Line, Diwas Kumar Silwal, Nsoki Phambu, Bharat Pokharel, Ahmad Naseer Aziz
Chemistry Faculty Research
Cottonseeds from two parents (TM-1 and 3-79) and their 17 progeny (chromosomal substitution) lines were analyzed for various secondary structures of proteins and moisture content of lipids, separately in hulls and kernels. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used on mature seeds from Upland cotton (G. hirsutum) progeny lines and parents. Based on secondary structures of proteins and hydration levels of lipids, differences were observed among the cottonseeds. The two progeny lines – CS-B12sh and CS-B22sh retained lipid moisture content and protein secondary structures similar to both parents, while CS-B06, CS-B15sh and CS-B16 remained distinct from either parent. On the …
Pattern Formation In Active Nematics, Prashant Mishra
Pattern Formation In Active Nematics, Prashant Mishra
Dissertations - ALL
This thesis presents analytical and numerical studies of the nonequilibrium dynamics of active nematic liquid crystals. Active nematics are a new class of liquid crystals consisting of elongated rod-like units that convert energy into motion and spontaneously organize in large-scale structures with orientational order and self-sustained flows. Examples include suspensions of cytoskeletal filaments and associated motor proteins, monolayers of epithelial cells plated on a substrate, and bacteria swimming in a nematic liquid crystal. In these systems activity drives the continuous generation and annihilation of topological defects and streaming flows, resulting in spatio-temporal chaotic dynamics akin to fluid turbulence, but that …
Continuum Models Of Collective Migration In Living Tissues, Kazage J. Christophe Utuje
Continuum Models Of Collective Migration In Living Tissues, Kazage J. Christophe Utuje
Dissertations - ALL
This dissertation investigates the physical mechanics of collective cell migration in monolayers of epithelial cells. Coordinated cell motion underlies a number of biological processes, including wound healing, morphogenesis and cancer metastasis, and is controlled by the interplay of single cell motility, cell-cell adhesions, cell-substrate interaction, and cell contractility modulated by the acto-myosin cytoskeleton. Here we examine the competing roles of these mechanisms via a continuum model of a tissue as an active elastic medium, where mechanical deformations are coupled to and feed back onto chemical signaling.
We begin in Chapter 1 with a brief review of cell migration at both …
Mappings Between Annuli Of Smallest P-Harmonic Energy, Daniel Cuneo
Mappings Between Annuli Of Smallest P-Harmonic Energy, Daniel Cuneo
Dissertations - ALL
An important topic in the calculus of variations is the study of traction-free problems, in which deformations between given domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are allowed to slip on the boundary, without prescribing boundary values. For annuli $\A = \A(r, R)$ and $\A^* = \A(r_*, R_*)$, we seek the traction-free minimizer of the $p$-harmonic energy among homeomorphisms in Sobolev class $W^{1, p}(\A, \A^*)$. For such a mapping, the $p$-harmonic energy is defined by \begin{equation*}
\mathcal{E}_p[h] = \int\limits_{\A} |Dh(x)|^p dx
\end{equation*}
Classical methods fail for traction-free problems. We will use a novel approach based on the concept of free Lagrangians, described as differential …
The Role Of Body Flexibility In Stroke Enhancements For Finite-Length Undulatory Swimmers In Viscoelastic Fluids, Becca Thomases, Robert D. Guy
The Role Of Body Flexibility In Stroke Enhancements For Finite-Length Undulatory Swimmers In Viscoelastic Fluids, Becca Thomases, Robert D. Guy
Mathematics Sciences: Faculty Publications
The role of passive body dynamics on the kinematics of swimming micro-organisms in complex fluids is investigated. Asymptotic analysis of small-amplitude motions of a finite-length undulatory swimmer in a Stokes-Oldroyd-B fluid is used to predict shape changes that result as body elasticity and fluid elasticity are varied. Results from the analysis are compared with numerical simulations and the numerically simulated shape changes agree with the analysis at both small and large amplitudes, even for strongly elastic flows. We compute a stroke-induced swimming speed that accounts for the shape changes, but not additional effects of fluid elasticity. Elasticity-induced shape changes lead …

Engineered nanoparticles are aquatic contaminants of emerging concern that exert ecotoxicological effects on a wide variety of organisms. We exposed cetyltrimethylammonium bromide–capped spherical gold nanoparticles to wood frog and bullfrog tadpoles with conspecifics and in combination with the other species continuously for 21 d, then measured uptake and localization of gold. Wood frog tadpoles alone and in combination with bullfrog tadpoles took up significantly more gold than bullfrogs. Bullfrog tadpoles in combination with wood frogs took up significantly more gold than controls. The rank order of weight-normalized gold uptake was wood frogs in combination > wood frogs alone > bullfrogs in combination …

We present here bulk sediment major element chemistry, Nd and Sr isotope ratios, and detrital apatite fission-track (AFT) and U-Pb zircon ages to characterize the provenance of the southwestern Taklimakan Desert (northwest China) and the three major rivers draining this region. We establish the spatial and temporal controls on erosion and sediment transport in the modern Tibetan rain shadow. The Hotan River drains the North Kunlun block and is characterized by zircon populations at 160–230 Ma and 370–520 Ma. The Yarkand River shares these grains with the Hotan, but also has a very prominent zircon population at 40–160 Ma, which …
Life’S Late Digital Revolution And Why It Matters For The Study Of The Origins Of Life, David A. Baum, Niles Lehman
Life’S Late Digital Revolution And Why It Matters For The Study Of The Origins Of Life, David A. Baum, Niles Lehman
Chemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations
The information contained in life exists in two forms, analog and digital. Analog information is manifest mainly in the differing concentrations of chemicals that get passed from generation to generation and can vary from cell to cell. Digital information is encoded in linear polymers such as DNA and RNA, whose side chains come in discrete chemical forms. Here, we argue that the analog form of information preceded the digital. Acceptance of this dichotomy, and this progression, can help direct future studies on how life originated and initially complexified on the primordial Earth, as well as expected trajectories for other, independent …
The Detection And Parameter Estimation Of Binary Black Hole Mergers, Christopher Michael Biwer
The Detection And Parameter Estimation Of Binary Black Hole Mergers, Christopher Michael Biwer
Dissertations - ALL
In this dissertation we study gravitational-wave data analysis techniques for binary neutron star and black hole mergers. During its first observing run, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (Advanced LIGO) reported the
first, direct observations of gravitational waves from two binary black hole mergers. We present the results from the search for binary black hole mergers which unambiguously detected the binary black hole mergers. We determine the effect of calibration
errors on the detection statistic of the search. Since the search is not designed to precisely measure the astrophysical parameters of the binary neutron star and black hole mergers, we …
Stable Sparse Orthogonal Factorization Of Ill-Conditioned Banded Matrices For Parallel Computing, Qian Huang
Stable Sparse Orthogonal Factorization Of Ill-Conditioned Banded Matrices For Parallel Computing, Qian Huang
Dissertations - ALL
Sequential and parallel algorithms based on the LU factorization or the QR factorization have been intensely studied and widely used in the problems of computation with large-scale ill-conditioned banded matrices. Great concerns on existing methods include ill-conditioning, sparsity of factor matrices, computational complexity, and scalability. In this dissertation, we study a sparse orthogonal factorization of a banded matrix motivated by parallel computing. Specifically, we develop a process to factorize a banded matrix as a product of a sparse orthogonal matrix and a sparse matrix which can be transformed to an upper triangular matrix by column permutations. We prove that the …

The rapidly expanding application of lithium ion batteries stimulates research interest on energy storage devices with higher energy density, better safety and faster charge/discharge speed. All-solid-state lithium batteries have been considered as promising candidates because of their fewer side reactions and better safety compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries with organic liquid electrolytes. Looking for well-matched electrode/electrolyte interfaces is one of the keys to ensuring good comprehensive performance of solid-state lithium batteries. In this report, with the aid of first-principles simulations, the local structure and lithium ions transportation properties of electrolyte surfaces and cathode/electrolyte interfaces are investigated. The β-Li3PS …

Journal of Electrochemistry
The development of Fe/N/C electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is vital for the large-scale applications of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Understanding the active site structure will contribute to the rational design of highly active catalysts. In this study, the as-prepared Fe/N/C catalyst based on poly-m-phenylenediamine (PmPDA-FeNx/C) catalyst with the high ORR activity was subjected to the high-temperature heat treatment again at 1000 ~1500 oC. The degradation of in the ORR activity of PmPDA-FeNx/C by with various heat treatments was correlated to the change of elemental compositions, chemical states and textural properties. As the …
Electric Current Induced Flow And Electrocapillary Deformation Of Liquid Wood Alloy In Naoh Aqueous Solution, Guo-Di Zhang, Qiao-Li Lin, Jian-Hong Cheng, Rui Cao
Electric Current Induced Flow And Electrocapillary Deformation Of Liquid Wood Alloy In Naoh Aqueous Solution, Guo-Di Zhang, Qiao-Li Lin, Jian-Hong Cheng, Rui Cao
Journal of Electrochemistry
The phenomena of the electric current induced flow and electrocapillary deformation for a liquid Wood alloy in a NaOH electrolyte were studied. Electrocapillary behaviors for the liquid Wood alloy in NaOH electrolytes by applying external low voltages were investigated. The electrode reaction (redox reaction) induced the formation or removing removal of an oxide film, and further caused the drop deformation by decreasing or increasing an interfacial tension. The same polar charge in the electric double layer would also decrease the interfacial tension. In order to maintain the stability of system, the contact area of the interface would be expanded, and …

Tetrabutylammonium Hexafluorophosphate As Flame Retardant Additive For Lithium Ion Batteries, Qing Zhao, Qian Zhang, Jing-Min Fan, Ming-Sen Zheng, Quan-Feng Dong
Journal of Electrochemistry
Safety issues have been attracted more and more attentions due to the wide applications of lithium ion batteries. Introducing flame retardant additives are one of the effective strategies to improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries. In this paper, the tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) as a flame retardant additive was added to the electrolyte as a flame retardant additive to enhance the safety of lithium ion batteries. The self-extinguishing time (SET) and ionic conductivities of the electrolytes with different TBAPF6 contents were investigated. It is found that TBAPF6 dramatically reduced the flammability of the electrolyte while slightly decreasing ionic …

A New Type Carbon Composited Molybdenum Doped Vanadium Oxide Nanowires As A Cathode Material For Sodium Ion Batteries, Guang-Rui Zhang, Li-Qiang Hu, Bao-Zhu Zhang
Journal of Electrochemistry
In recent years, the development of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) has been limited due to the insufficient lithium resource and increasing cost. As a promising candidate, sodium ion batteries (SIBs) with the similar electrochemical mechanism and lower cost than LIBs are developing rapidly. However, as a result of the larger radius of Na+ compared with Li+, the crystalline structures of the most electrode materials are damaged severely during the intercalation of Na+, which limits the electrochemical properties of SIBs. Thus, developing new types of electrode materials for SIBs is particularly important. Among the cathode materials, …

Effects Of Surface Modification Modes On Proton-Over-Vanadium Ion Selectivity Of Nafion®Membrane For Application In Vanadium Redox Flow Battery, Qing-Long Tan, Hai-Ning Wang, Shan-Fu Lu, Da-Wei Liang, Chun-Xiao Wu, Yan Xiang
Journal of Electrochemistry
The effect of surface modification modes on proton-over-vanadium ion selectivity was studied by spin-coating chitosan-Phosphotungstic Acid (PWA) as a single or double layer on Nafion membrane surface. To suppress the vanadium ions permeation through the Nafion? membrane in a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), the single surface-modified Nafion membrane (Nafion/chitosan-PWA)S and double surface-modified Nafion membrane (Nafion/chitosan-PWA)D demonstrated a 89.9% and 92.7% reduction of vanadium ion permeability in comparison with pristine Nafion, respectively. The (Nafion/chitosan-PWA)D exhibited betterhigher selectivity between proton and vanadium ions than the (Nafion/chitosan-PWA)S at the same layer thickness. Furthermore, the columbic efficiency for the VRFB single cell based …
An Investigation Of The Synergistic Effect Between (1,3-Dioxolan-2-Ylmethyl)Triphenylphosphonium Bromide And Iodide Ion For The Corrosion Inhibition Of Zinc In Citric Acid, Saadawy M.
Journal of Electrochemistry
The effect of (1,3-Dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)-triphenylphosphonium bromide (DTPB) on the zinc corrosion in 0.5 mol·L-1 citric acid solution was investigated at 30 oC using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. An ecofriendly bath was used for acid cleaning of zinc, which has not been widely used in literatures. The results showed that DTPB could serve as an effective inhibitor for the zinc corrosion in a citric acid solution with the inhibition efficiency of 98.9% at the DTPB concentration of 3×10-3 mol·L-1. A synergistic effect between DTPB and potassium iodide (KI) enhanced the inhibition …
