Tetrachloroethylene Degradation by Dithionite with Ultraviolet ActivationZhang, Jingyuan 16 December 2013 (has links)
Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) is a contaminant that has been frequently detected in ground water, surface water, air and soil. Advanced reduction processes (ARP) make up a set of wastewater treatment technologies that have been proposed recently. This project has conducted research on degrading PCE with an ARP that combines dithionite and ultraviolet activation. The purpose of the project is to provide knowledge for the development of potential wastewater treatment technologies.
Several control experiments (blank control, reagent control and UV control) were conducted to prove the feasibility of applying the dithionite/UV ARP to degrade PCE. ARP degradation of PCE was studied under different pH (5, 7, 8, 9) and light intensities (2, 4, 7.3 mW/cm2). The results showed that the fastest degradation was observed at pH 7 and that degradation becomes faster at higher light intensities. Combining dithionite and UV light resulted in a faster degradation of PCE than only using UV light to photolyze PCE.

Star Formation and the Interstellar Medium in Nearby Tidal Streams (SAINTS): Spitzer Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy and Imaging of Intergalactic Star-Forming ObjectsHigdon, S. J.U., Higdon, J. L., Smith, B. J., Hancock, M. 01 June 2014 (has links)
A spectroscopic analysis of 10 intergalactic star-forming objects (ISFOs) and a photometric analysis of 67 ISFOs in a sample of 14 interacting systems is presented. The majority of the ISFOs have relative polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) band strengths similar to those of nearby spiral and starburst galaxies. In contrast to what is observed in blue compact dwarfs (BCDs) and local giant H II regions in the Milky Way (NGC 3603) and the Magellanic Clouds (30 Doradus and N 66), the relative PAH band strengths in ISFOs correspond to models with a significant PAH ion fraction (<50%) and bright emission from large PAHs (∼100 carbon atoms). The [Ne III]/[Ne II] and [S IV]/[S III] line flux ratios indicate moderate levels of excitation with an interstellar radiation field that is harder than the majority of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey and starburst galaxies, but softer than BCDs and local giant H II regions. The ISFO neon line flux ratios are consistent with a burst of star formation ∼6 million years ago. Most of the ISFOs have ∼106 M ⊙ of warm H2 with a likely origin in photo-dissociation regions (PDRs). Infrared Array Camera photometry shows the ISFOs to be bright at 8 μm, with one-third having [4.5]-[8.0] > 3.7, i.e., enhanced non-stellar emission, most likely due to PAHs, relative to normal spirals, dwarf irregulars, and BCD galaxies. The relative strength of the 8 μm emission compared to that at 3.6 μm or 24 μm separates ISFOs from dwarf galaxies in Spitzer two-color diagrams. The infrared power in two-thirds of the ISFOs is dominated by emission from grains in a diffuse interstellar medium. One in six ISFOs have significant emission from PDRs, contributing ∼30%-60% of the total power. ISFOs are young knots of intense star formation.

Extra-Nuclear Starbursts: Young Luminous Hinge Clumps in Interacting GalaxiesSmith, Beverly J., Soria, Roberto, Struck, Curtis, Giroux, Mark L., Swartz, Douglas A., Yukita, Mihoko 01 March 2014 (has links)
Hinge clumps are luminous knots of star formation near the base of tidal features in some interacting galaxies. We use archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) UV/optical/IR images and Chandra X-ray maps along with Galaxy Evolution Explorer UV Spitzer IR, and ground-based optical/near-IR images to investigate the star forming properties in a sample of 12 hinge clumps in five interacting galaxies. The most extreme of these hinge clumps have star formation rates of 1-9 M yr-1, comparable to or larger than the "overlap" region of intense star formation between the two disks of the colliding galaxy system the Antennae. In the HST images, we have found remarkably large and luminous sources at the centers of these hinge clumps. These objects are much larger and more luminous than typical "super star clusters" in interacting galaxies, and are sometimes embedded in a linear ridge of fainter star clusters, consistent with star formation along a narrow caustic. These central sources have FWHM diameters of 70 pc, compared to 3 pc in "ordinary" super star clusters. Their absolute I magnitudes range from MI -12.2 to -16.5; thus, if they are individual star clusters they would lie near the top of the "super star cluster" luminosity function of star clusters. These sources may not be individual star clusters, but instead may be tightly packed groups of clusters that are blended together in the HST images. Comparison to population synthesis modeling indicates that the hinge clumps contain a range of stellar ages. This is consistent with expectations based on models of galaxy interactions, which suggest that star formation may be prolonged in these regions. In the Chandra images, we have found strong X-ray emission from several of these hinge clumps. In most cases, this emission is well-resolved with Chandra and has a thermal X-ray spectrum, thus it is likely due to hot gas associated with the star formation. The ratio of the extinction-corrected diffuse X-ray luminosity to the mechanical energy rate (the X-ray production efficiency) for the hinge clumps is similar to that in the Antennae galaxies, but higher than those for regions in the normal spiral galaxy NGC 2403. Two of the hinge clumps have point-like X-ray emission much brighter than expected for hot gas; these sources are likely "ultra-luminous X-ray sources" due to accretion disks around black holes. The most extreme of these sources, in Arp 240, has a hard X-ray spectrum and an absorbed X-ray luminosity of 2 × 1041 erg s-1; this is above the luminosity expected by single high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), thus it may be either a collection of HMXBs or an intermediate mass black hole (≥80 M ).

Collaborative HARQ Schemes for Cooperative Diversity Communications in Wireless NetworksPang, Kun January 2008 (has links)
Master of Philosophy / Wireless technology is experiencing spectacular developments, due to the emergence of interactive and digital multimedia applications as well as rapid advances in the highly integrated systems. For the next-generation mobile communication systems, one can expect wireless connectivity between any devices at any time and anywhere with a range of multimedia contents. A key requirement in such systems is the availability of high-speed and robust communication links. Unfortunately, communications over wireless channels inherently suffer from a number of fundamental physical limitations, such as multipath fading, scarce radio spectrum, and limited battery power supply for mobile devices. Cooperative diversity (CD) technology is a promising solution for future wireless communication systems to achieve broader coverage and to mitigate wireless channels’ impairments without the need to use high power at the transmitter. In general, cooperative relaying systems have a source node multicasting a message to a number of cooperative relays, which in turn resend a processed version message to an intended destination node. The destination node combines the signal received from the relays, and takes into account the source’s original signal to decode the message. The CD communication systems exploit two fundamental features of the wireless medium: its broadcast nature and its ability to achieve diversity through independent channels. A variety of relaying protocols have been considered and utilized in cooperative wireless networks. Amplify and forward (AAF) and decode and forward (DAF) are two popular protocols, frequently used in the cooperative systems. In the AAF mode, the relay amplifies the received signal prior to retransmission. In the DAF mode, the relay fully decodes the received signal, re-encodes and forwards it to the destination. Due to the retransmission without decoding, AAF has the shortcoming that noise accumulated in the received signal is amplified at the transmission. DAF suffers from decoding errors that can lead to severe error propagation. To further enhance the quality of service (QoS) of CD communication systems, hybrid Automatic Repeat-reQuest (HARQ) protocols have been proposed. Thus, if the destination requires an ARQ retransmission, it could come from one of relays rather than the source node. This thesis proposes an improved HARQ scheme with an adaptive relaying protocol (ARP). Focusing on the HARQ as a central theme, we start by introducing the concept of ARP. Then we use it as the basis for designing three types of HARQ schemes, denoted by HARQ I-ARP, HARQ II-ARP and HARQ III-ARP. We describe the relaying protocols, (both AAF and DAF), and their operations, including channel access between the source and relay, the feedback scheme, and the combining methods at the receivers. To investigate the benefits of the proposed HARQ scheme, we analyze its frame error rate (FER) and throughput performance over a quasi-static fading channel. We can compare these with the reference methods, HARQ with AAF (HARQ-AAF) and HARQ with perfect distributed turbo codes (DTC), for which correct decoding is always assumed at the relay (HARQ-perfect DTC). It is shown that the proposed HARQ-ARP scheme can always performs better than the HARQ-AAF scheme. As the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the channel between the source and relay increases, the performance of the proposed HARQ-ARP scheme approaches that of the HARQ-perfect DTC scheme.

Campus Network Design and Man-In-The-Middle AttackNazari, Mahmood, Zhou, Kun January 2014 (has links)
Security is at the front line of most networks, and most companies apply an exclusive security policy enclosing many of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layers, from application layer all the way down to Internet Protocol (IP) security. On the other hand, an area that is often not protected with high level of security is the second layer of OSI model and this can compromise the entire network to a diversity of attacks.This report presents an experimental performance analysis within the real environment. It focuses on understanding and preventing the Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) also known as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Poisoning on the Cisco Catalyst 3560 series switches with Cisco IOS Software. The Linux Command Line (CLI) tools and Ettercap tool were used to launch the Layer 2 attacks that you might come up against. Mitigation methods to stop this attack are evaluated and concluded. Finally we will answer if Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is enough to protect the users’ data against MITM in the network.A HP laptop and two DELL PCs were utilized for these tests and acted as the attacker, the Server and the victim. Victim PC runs Windows 7, attacker’s Laptop and server run Linux.Finally, three different case studies were analyzed and compared with each other and different solutions that might help to solve or detect the issue of MITM attack are concluded.

Impacts of Natural Organic Matter on Perchlorate Removal by an Advanced Reduction ProcessDuan, Yuhang 2012 August 1900 (has links)
Perchlorate is one of the major emerging contaminants of concern and has been found in soil and water systems throughout the United States. Human exposures to perchlorate could occur by ingestion of contaminated water and food as well as by skin contact. Studies show that perchlorate blocks the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) protein in human body, which results in several diseases. It has been demonstrated that perchlorate can be removed by Advanced Reduction Processes (ARPs) that combine chemical reductants (e.g. sulfite) with activating methods (e.g. UV light) in order to produce highly reactive reducing free radicals that are capable of rapid and effective perchlorate reduction.
However, other compounds in a real system might inhibit or promote this reduction process. Natural organic matter (NOM) widely exists in the environment and it can absorb UV light, so it has the potential to influence the process of perchlorate reduction by ARPs that use UV light as the activating method. Therefore, batch experiments were conducted to obtain data on the impacts of natural organic matter and light intensity on destruction of perchlorate by the ARPs that use sulfite activated by ultraviolet light produced by low-pressure mercury lamps or KrCl excimer lamps. The results indicate that NOM strongly inhibits perchlorate removal by either the sulfite/UV-KrCl or the sulfite/UV-L ARP, because NOM competes with sulfite for UV light and can possibly scavenge sulfite radicals. Even though the absorbance of sulfite is much higher at UV wavelength of 222 nm than that at 254 nm, the results indicate that a higher portion of perchlorate was removed with the UV-L lamp than with the UV-KrCl lamp. The results of this study will help to develop the proper way to apply the ARPs in a real wastewater treatment plant.
