Characterizing Spatio-Temporal Ozone Gradients Along Coastal Boundaries: Sondes and Mobile Measurements from OWLETS-2

One of the major difficulties for the modeling and satellite communities is the validation of O3 levels in sharp coastal transition regions within metropolitan areas. Land-water gradients of ozone as well as its precursors can be significant due to differences in emissions, land use, surface deposition, boundary layer height, and mesoscale wind patterns. The Ozone Water-Land Environmental Transition Study (OWLETS-2) was a follow-on field campaign spearheaded by NASA GSFC and LaRC's Tropospheric Ozone Lidar Network (TOLnet) conducted in the summer of 2018 within the Upper Chesapeake region to better characterize spatial and vertical distribution of various pollutants across the coastal boundary. Supporting this campaign, 40 ozonesondes were simultaneously launched directly in the marine environment on Hart Miller Island (HMI) and on two land sites: both the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and Howard University-Beltsville (HUBV). In addition, Personal Ozone Monitors (POMs) - small sensors - were deployed in a variety of environments - car, boat, and drone, to name a few - to quantify ozone across fine spatial and temporal thresholds. The purpose of these measurements is multifaceted: to provide both ozone pollution information to coastal metropolitan communities and validation to satellite, modeling, and forecasting communities, especially in current and future satellite endeavors such as TROPOMI and TEMPO

A preferred vision for administering secondary schools : a reflective essay

The successful school administrator needs to be a finely-honed instrument at the center of the education process. The administrator must be sensitive to needs of the entire efforts, as well as providing direction, vision, innovative ideas, support, reinforcement, and expertise for the complete educational effort. The unity of purpose in education will proceed as a team effort, knocking down obstacles and building outstanding educational competencies in the process

Shifting towards community-building in opening up FabLabs for non-expert users

In the early days of Fablabs and other digital fabrication spaces (e.g. hackerspaces, makerspaces), these community spaces that offer public, shared access to high-end manufacturing equipment (e.g. 3D-printers, laser cutters) were often described as having the democratizing potential to empower everyone as future makers. However, research showed that non-expert users are often impeded to engage in such spaces due to various challenges (among other things, the unfamiliarity of available tools and machines, a lack of skills and experience). By describing a case study in which we elucidate different strategies that were used to engage non-expert users in FabLab [anonymized], this paper focuses on the mediating role of the design researchers who be

Methods for interpreting an untested Darwinian conjecture

Intraspecific variations variations are what natural selection acts on, and thus are crucial to evolution by natural selection as proposed by Charles Darwin in his book On the Origin of Species, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. In this text, Darwin proposed multiple sources of intraspecific variation although one of them has yet to be studied despite having been published more than 150 years ago. Darwin explained that traits which are extraordinary compared to the same trait in closely related species ought to be highly variable. In this thesis, I provide four possible interpretations for this source of variation and distinct methodologies for each of them. The quantity and quality of data collected for these methods was unable to decisively test this source of variation, but the methods described herein may be used to guide future works once the appropriate data are published

Theoretische Untersuchungen zum Mechanismus und zur Diastereoselektivität von NO3-induzierten selbstterminierenden, oxidativen Radikalcyclisierungen

Radikalische 5-exo-Cyclisierungen sind aufgrund ihrer in der Regel gut nach dem Beckwith-Houk- Modell vorhersagbaren Diastereoselektivität in der organisch-chemischen Synthese immer beliebter geworden. Eins der jüngeren Beispiele ist die durch das NO3-Radikal induzierte selbstterminierende, oxidative Radikalcyclisierungskaskade, deren sehr hohe Diastereoselektivität aber oft der Vorhersage widerspricht. Der Mechanismus und die hohe Diastereoselektivität dieser Radikalcyclisierungskaskade wurden mit ab initio und Dichtefunktional-Methoden detailliert untersucht. Die Geometrien verschiedener Konformere von reaktiven Zwischenstufen und Übergangszuständen, insbesondere des 1,5- Wasserstoffatomtransfers (1,5-HAT) und der 5-exo-Cyclisierung, sowie Aktivierungsenergien und Reaktionsenthalpien wurden mit verschieden theoretischen Methoden berechnet, um die Konfiguration der Stereozentren vorhersagen zu können. Des Weiteren wurden tiefere Einblicke in die Struktur alkylsubstituierter NO3-Vinylradikale, sowie in die Leistung verschiedener Hybrid-Dichtefunktionale bei der Berechnung der Struktur des NO3-Radikals erhalten
