SYNTHESIS AND BIOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF RUTHENIUM COMPOUNDS - PROJECT SUMMARY TRANSITION METAL COMPOUNDS HAVE BEEN USED AS THERAPEUTIC AGENTS. HOWEVER, TREATMENT WITH THESE COMPOUNDS, FOR EXAMPLE CISPLATIN, CAN LEAD TO DRUG RESISTANCE AND POOR EFFICACY. RUTHENIUM HAS BEEN STUDIED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO OTHER TRANSITION METALS. THE AIMS OF THIS PROJECT ARE TO CARRY OUT THE SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND BIOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF RUTHENIUM-BASED COMPOUNDS AS POTENTIAL PHARMACEUTICAL AGENTS. RUTHENIUM COMPOUNDS HAVE GAINED ATTENTION AS POTENTIAL THERAPEUTIC AGENTS HAVING DIFFERENT MODES OF ACTION AGAINST BACTERIAL INFECTIONS, CANCER, DIABETES AND OTHER DISEASES. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF PHARMACEUTICAL AGENTS, INCLUDING TRANSITION METAL DRUGS, EITHER TARGET DNA OR PROTEINS. RNA HAS RECENTLY RECEIVED MUCH ATTENTION AS A BIOMOLECULE IN THE FIELDS OF PUBLIC HEALTH, MEDICINE, AND BIOTECHNOLOGY. THE RICH STRUCTURAL DIVERSITY OF RNA AND ITS ROLE IN NUMEROUS CELLULAR FUNCTIONS HAVE LED TO ITS EMERGENCE AS AN IMPORTANT BIOLOGICAL TARGET FOR PHARMACEUTICAL AGENTS. VERY FEW STUDIES HAVE EXPLORED HOW TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES BIND TO RNA MOLECULES. THE INITIAL AIM OF THIS PROJECT IS FOCUSED ON THE SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES. THE SECOND AIM OF THIS PROJECT WILL INVESTIGATE THE BINDING OF RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES TO VARIOUS RNA MOLECULES. RESULTS WILL REVEAL THE SPECIFIC RNA BINDING SITES OF RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES, THEIR BINDING STRENGTH, AND THE IMPACT OF BINDING ON RNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION. THE RUTHENIUM COMPOUNDS SYNTHESIZED IN THIS PROJECT ARE DESIGNED WITH THE PURPOSE OF ENHANCING THEIR BINDING TO NUCLEOTIDES, IMPROVING AQUEOUS SOLUBILITY, AND MAKING THEM ACTIVE AGAINST DIABETES, AND BACTERIA AND CANCER CELLS. FINALLY, THIS PROJECT WILL DETERMINE WHETHER THE NEWLY SYNTHESIZED RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES BIND TO DIHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE (DHFR) ENZYME AND INHIBIT ITS CATALYTIC ACTIVITY. DHFR IS A CRUCIAL ENZYME WITHIN THE FOLIC ACID PATHWAY. THE FOLIC ACID PATHWAY IS IMPORTANT IN THE SYNTHESIS OF NUCLEOTIDES, AMINO ACIDS, AND OTHER CELLULAR INTERMEDIATES. DHFR ENZYME HAS BEEN TARGETED EXTENSIVELY BY ANTIFOLATE DRUGS, LIKE METHOTREXATE, WHICH HAVE BEEN ON THE MARKET FOR DECADES. COMPOUNDS SYNTHESIZED IN THIS PROJECT INCORPORATE ARCHITECTURES OF DIFFERENT ANTIFOLATE AND ANTIDIABETIC DRUGS WITH THE GOAL OF IMPROVING THEIR WATER SOLUBILITY, HYDROGEN BONDING CAPABILITIES, AND OVERALL SPECIFICITY.

RUI: LUMINESCENT CYCLOMETALATED PLATINUM(IV) COMPOUNDS -WITH SUPPORT FROM THE CHEMICAL STRUCTURE, DYNAMICS AND MECHANISMS-B (CSDM-B) PROGRAM OF THE CHEMISTRY DIVISION, PROFESSOR CRAIG M. ANDERSON OF THE CHEMISTRY PROGRAM AT BARD COLLEGE IS INVESTIGATING THE SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PLATINUM(IV) SPECIES WITH LIGANDS CONTAINING THIOPHENE MOIETIES. ALTHOUGH PHOTOACTIVE PLATINUM COMPOUNDS EXIST, THIS RESEARCH WILL FOCUS ON PLATINUM(IV) SPECIES, AS THEY ARE UNDERSTUDIED COMPARED TO THEIR PLATINUM(II) COUNTERPARTS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS CLASS OF COMPOUNDS MAY ALLOW GREATER TUNABILITY OF PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES FOR POTENTIAL USE AS SENSORS OR DEVICES. A VITAL COMPONENT OF THIS WORK IS THAT IT INVOLVES THE TRAINING OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AND THESE STUDENTS WILL GAIN PROFICIENCY IN THE PRACTICE OF SCIENCE IN A CONTEMPORARY CHEMISTRY LABORATORY. UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH STUDENTS ARE TO BE INVOLVED IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE WORK FROM PERFORMING LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS TO WRITING SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES TO GIVING PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS. UNDER THIS AWARD, THE BARD COLLEGE TEAM WILL SYNTHESIZE AND CHARACTERIZE CYCLOMETALATED PT-COMPOUNDS, WHICH ARE A MULTIFACETED GROUP OF COMPOUNDS WITH APPLICATIONS IN CATALYSIS, SENSORS, AND ARTIFICIAL PHOTOSYNTHETIC DEVICES. PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE CYCLOMETALATED PLATINUM(IV) COMPOUNDS WILL BE CHARACTERIZED. MOLECULAR DESIGN STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE THEIR PROPERTIES, INCLUDING QUANTUM YIELD AND EXCITED-STATE LIFETIME, WILL BE EVALUATED. THESE STRATEGIES INCLUDE THE USE OF ISOCYANIDE LIGANDS AND OTHER STRONG FIELD LIGANDS. A SYSTEMATIC STUDY WILL INCREASE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN METAL/LIGAND COMBINATION, AND PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES. SUCCESSFUL STUDIES HERE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE INSIGHT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF BETTER DEVICES AND SENSORS USING PHOTOACTIVE TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES. THE PLAN IS TO TARGET COMPOUNDS THAT EXHIBIT DUAL EMISSION OR RIGIDOLUMINESCENCE (RL). DUAL EMISSION PLAYS IMPORTANT ROLES IN SENSING AND LABELING APPLICATIONS, AND RL IS OF INTEREST BECAUSE RIGID MEDIA MIMIC THE ENVIRONMENT IN DEVICES. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIGAND ARCHITECTURE AND PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL DURA-EUROPOS ARCHIVE (IDEA): REASSEMBLING AND RECONTEXTUALIZING ANCIENT CULTURAL HERITAGE [THE YALE DIGITAL DURA-EUROPOS ARCHIVE (YDEA) IS A PROJECT AIMED AT INCREASING GLOBAL ACCESS TO, AND COMPREHENSIBILITY OF, DATA AND ARTIFACTS FROM THE IMPORTANT CULTURAL HERITAGE SITE OF DURA-EUROPOS (SYRIA). USING LINKED OPEN DATA (LOD), YDEA ENDEAVORS TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE AND EXTENSIBLE DIGITAL ARCHIVE WHOSE DATA POINTS CAN BE FREELY REUSED, AND TO DEVELOP A WEB APPLICATION THAT PROVIDES MULTILINGUISTIC ACCESS TO THE INTEGRATED DURA-EUROPOS ARCHIVAL RESOURCES IN A SINGLE INTERFACE, TOGETHER WITH VISUALIZATIONS TO ENHANCE DATA INTELLIGIBILITY AT A GLANCE. THE PLANNED WORK WILL MAKE C. 30,000 ARTIFACTS AND ARCHIVAL DOCUMENTS SEARCHABLE IN ARABIC FOR THE FIRST TIME. LOOTING AT DURA SINCE 2011 HAS REGRETTABLY COMPROMISED THE SITE FOR FUTURE STRATIGRAPHIC RESEARCH.

RUI: LIGHT SCATTERING METROLOGY FOR GRAVITATIONAL WAVE OPTICS -THE LASER INTERFEROMETER GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE OBSERVATORY(LIGO) PROJECT HAS GIVEN SCIENTISTS THE ABILITY TO OBSERVE THE UNIVERSE IN A COMPLETELY NEW WAY. UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL TELESCOPES, WHICH USE THE LIGHT EMITTED BY STARS AND GALAXIES TO LEARN THEIR PROPERTIES AND THEIR PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE, GW DETECTORS USE GRAVITATIONAL WAVES (GW), WHICH ARE SIMILARLY EMITTED BY MANY ASTROPHYSICAL OBJECTS. GRAVITATIONAL WAVES ARE RIPPLES IN SPACETIME THAT TRAVEL TO EARTH AND CAUSE THE DETECTORS TO ESSENTIALLY CHANGE IN SIZE. TO OBSERVE THIS CHANGE THE LIGO DETECTORS REQUIRE STATE-OF-THE-ART MIRRORS, WHICH ARE USED TO SENSE THE STRETCHING AND CONTRACTION OF SPACE AND TIME. IMPROVEMENTS IN MIRROR DESIGN WILL ALLOW OBSERVERS TO LOOK FURTHER INTO SPACE AND DETECT MORE OF THESE GW SIGNALS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL AID IN PUSHING THE MIRROR TECHNOLOGY BY UTILIZING LIGHT SCATTERING AS A TOOL TO STUDY MIRROR COATINGS. SPECIFICALLY, AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE QUALITY OF A MIRROR IS THE PRESENCE OF DEFECTS WHICH SCATTER LIGHT AND INHIBIT THE OPERATION OF THE LIGO DETECTORS. IN ADDITION, DEFECTS MAY SOMETIMES DEVELOP ON THE MIRROR SURFACE WITH TIME, BUT THE PROCESS IS NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD. THIS RESEARCH PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO STUDY DEFECTS ON MIRRORS SO THAT IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO ULTIMATELY IMPROVE LIGO?S SENSITIVITY. THE WORK WILL BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE ENGAGEMENT OF UNDERGRADUATE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, WHICH WILL PROVIDE INVALUABLE EXPERIENCE AS THEY PURSUE THEIR CAREER IN TECHNOLOGY AND ACADEMIA. COATING THERMAL NOISE AND SCATTERING PHASE NOISE ARE SOURCES OF NOISE RESPONSIBLE FOR LIMITING LIGO'S SENSITIVITY AT LOW TO MODERATELY LOW FREQUENCIES AND ARISE FROM THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MIRROR COATINGS. MITIGATION OF COATING THERMAL NOISE REQUIRES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COATING WITH LOW MECHANICAL LOSS, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SATISFYING THE STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS FOR SCATTERING AND ABSORPTION SET BY GW DETECTORS. IN ADDITION, IT IS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEFECTS ON THE MIRRORS THAT DEGRADE ITS SCATTERING AND ABSORPTION CHARACTERISTICS. THIS WORK WILL ADDRESS SUCH QUESTIONS IN A SYSTEMATIC WAY BY STUDYING THE SCATTERING PROPERTIES OF SAMPLES OF NOVEL COATINGS AS WELL AS SAMPLES ALREADY USED IN GW DETECTORS. THE PI WILL UTILIZE LIGHT SCATTERING IN A WAY THAT IS NOT BEING UTILIZED CURRENTLY, STUDYING IN DETAIL THE RADIATION PATTERNS OF INDIVIDUAL DEFECTS. SPECIFICALLY, THE PI WILL USE LIGHT SCATTERING MEASUREMENTS FROM MIRRORS TO STUDY VARIOUS ASPECTS OF NEW AND EXISTING MIRROR COATINGS. STUDIES INCLUDE I) SCATTERING PROPERTIES FROM NEWLY DESIGNED COATINGS, II) SCATTERING PROPERTIES OF DEFECTS AND SURFACES, III) FORMATION OF DEFECTS ON MIRRORS THROUGH CONTAMINATION OR AGING, AND IV) SCATTERING FROM MIRRORS AS A FUNCTION OF ANNEALING TEMPERATURE AND COATING THICKNESS. THE PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A NOVEL BEAM TRACKING METHOD FOR GW DETECTORS USING SCATTERING. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: STRAY LIGHT CONTROL FOR COSMIC EXPLORER -GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE ASTRONOMY HAS NOW OPENED A NEW WINDOW TO THE UNIVERSE, WHICH ALONG WITH CONVENTIONAL TELESCOPES, SIGNIFICANTLY BROADENS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF ASTROPHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY. COSMIC EXPLORER IS A CONCEPT FOR A NEXT-GENERATION GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE OBSERVATORY IN THE UNITED STATES, ENABLING THE DETECTION OF NEARLY EVERY BLACK-HOLE COLLISION IN THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE. TO ACHIEVE THE UNPRECEDENTED SENSITIVITY OF THIS OBSERVATORY, SIGNIFICANT R&D EFFORT NEEDS TO BE INVESTED IN DESIGNS THAT WILL MINIMIZE VARIOUS SOURCES OF NOISE. THIS AWARD ADDRESSES A MAJOR NOISE SOURCE, NAMELY STRAY LIGHT, AND WILL PRODUCE A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR ITS MITIGATION. SPECIFICALLY, THIS AWARD ENABLES A TEAM OF SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS TO ANALYZE HOW STRAY LIGHT IN THE INTERFEROMETER?S 40KM ARM CAVITIES MAY LIMIT COSMIC EXPLORER'S SENSITIVITY AND PRODUCE AN INITIAL CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR THE BEAMTUBE BAFFLES. MITIGATING STRAY LIGHT IN THE BEAMTUBES IS A HIGH-PRIORITY RESEARCH TOPIC, AS IT DIRECTLY IMPACTS THE FACILITY DESIGN AND COST. IN ADDITION, THE PROJECT WILL PRODUCE REQUIREMENTS FOR SURFACE ROUGHNESS OF THE MIRRORS USED AS TEST MASSES IN THE INTERFEROMETER AND EXPLORE LOW-SCATTER VACUUM-COMPATIBLE MATERIALS. THIS AWARD IS ONE OF A SERIES OF NSF AWARDS THAT TOGETHER WILL PRODUCE CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS AND TECHNOLOGIES TO ENABLE THE REALIZATION OF COSMIC EXPLORER. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

THE EFFICACY OF A COMPUTING-CONCEPTS VIDEO LIBRARY FOR STUDENTS AND PEER TUTORS IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY CONTEXTS -THIS PROJECT AIMS TO SERVE THE NATIONAL INTEREST BY PREPARING STUDENTS IN NON-COMPUTING MAJORS TO USE COMPUTATIONAL TECHNIQUES IN THEIR ACADEMIC WORK AND FUTURE CAREERS. INCREASINGLY, STUDENTS IN ALL DISCIPLINES MUST LEARN TO USE COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY. TO MEET THE INCREASED NEED FOR STUDENTS TO USE COMPUTATIONAL METHODS ACROSS ALL FIELDS, NON-COMPUTING COURSES COMMONLY INTEGRATE COMPUTATIONAL COMPONENTS INTO THEIR CURRICULA. HOWEVER, MANY NON-COMPUTING FACULTY ARE NOT PREPARED TO TEACH THE COMPUTING CONCEPTS THAT UNDERLIE THE COMPUTATIONAL TECHNIQUES THAT THEIR STUDENTS MUST MASTER. THIS PROJECT WILL SUPPORT NON-COMPUTING FACULTY WHO ARE TEACHING COMPUTING CONCEPTS BY DEVELOPING A CURATED SET OF VIDEOS THAT PROVIDES THE CONTENT NEEDED FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN BASIC COMPUTING CONCEPTS. THE INFUSION OF FOUNDATIONAL COMPUTING CONCEPTS INTO NON-COMPUTING COURSES WILL INCREASE BOTH THE NUMBER AND DIVERSITY OF STUDENTS WHO ARE PREPARED TO UTILIZE COMPUTATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES WHEN THEY ENTER THE WORKFORCE. THIS PROJECT?S GOALS ARE TO (1) EXPAND AND STRENGTHEN THE OCCTIVE VIDEO LIBRARY (ONLINE COMPUTING-CONCEPTS TOOLKIT OF INTERDISCIPLINARY VIDEOS FOR EDUCATION), DESIGNED TO INTRODUCE FOUNDATIONAL COMPUTING CONCEPTS IN NON-CS COURSES, (2) BROADLY DISSEMINATE OCCTIVE FOR USE BY NON-CS FACULTY AND PEER TUTORS, AND (3) ASSESS THE IMPACT OF OCCTIVE USE ON STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND PEER TUTORS. THE EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE OCCTIVE LIBRARY WILL BE INFORMED BY BEST PRACTICES IN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO DESIGN. THE VIDEOS WILL BE SUPPLEMENTED WITH SAMPLE TEACHING MATERIAL AND OTHER SUPPORT MATERIALS THAT AID FACULTY ADOPTION. FACULTY, WHO WILL BE RECRUITED FROM A WIDE RANGE OF DISCIPLINES AND INSTITUTIONS, WILL BE TRAINED TO INTEGRATE OCCTIVE INTO THEIR COURSES THROUGH IN PERSON AND VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS. THE EFFICACY OF THE OCCTIVE LIBRARY WILL BE MEASURED BY ASSESSING STUDENTS? COMPREHENSION OF COMPUTING CONCEPTS, FACULTY?S ADOPTION OF MATERIALS IN THEIR CLASSES, AND PEER TUTOR EXPERIENCES. THE NSF IUSE: EDU PROGRAM SUPPORTS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STEM EDUCATION FOR ALL STUDENTS. THROUGH THE ENGAGED STUDENT LEARNING TRACK, THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS THE CREATION, EXPLORATION, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PROMISING PRACTICES AND TOOLS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

THE MOST UNIQUE AND STRIKING PHENOMENON IN THE GALACTIC CENTER REGION IS THE EXISTENCE OF NUMEROUS NON-THERMAL RADIO AND X-RAY FILAMENTS.

SEDI IS A CROSS-CUTTING UNION COMMISSION OF THE INTERNATIONAL UNION OF GEODESY AND GEOPHYSICS (IUGG), THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GEOMAGNETISM AND AERONOMY (IAGA), THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SEISMOLOGY AND PHYSICS OF THE EARTH?S INTERIOR (IASPEI), AND THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF VOLCANOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY OF THE EARTH?S INTERIOR (IAVCEI). THE MEETING WILL PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE THERMAL, CHEMICAL, AND DYNAMICAL STATE OF THE EARTH?S DEEP INTERIOR THROUGH TIME, AND OF THE EFFECT THAT THE INTERIOR HAS ON STRUCTURES AND PROCESSES OBSERVED AT THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH. THE AWARD WILL PROVIDE TRAVEL SUPPORT US-BASED BEGINNING INVESTIGATORS TO ATTEND THE MEETING. SEDI IS AN INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO THE STUDY OF THE EARTH?S DEEP INTERIOR. ITS PRIMARY ACTIVITY IS A BIENNIAL MEETING, WHICH, BECAUSE OF ITS RELATIVELY SMALL SIZE AND MEETING STRUCTURE, PROVIDES AMPLE TIME FOR DISCUSSION OF THE LATEST RESULTS AND MORE PRESSING SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS. BECAUSE OF THE OPEN DISCUSSION, CROSS-DISCIPLINARY NATURE, AND INTERNATIONAL ATTENDANCE, THE MEETINGS ARE PARTICULARLY PRODUCTIVE FOR BEGINNING INVESTIGATORS, INCLUDING GRADUATE STUDENTS, POST-DOCS, AND THOSE WITHOUT A PERMANENT POSITION. APPLICATIONS FOR SUPPORT WILL BE BROADLY SOLICITED AND APPLICANTS WILL BE SUPPORTED BASED ON THEIR ABSTRACTS AND A STATEMENT OF THEIR SITUATION. THE GRANT WILL ALSO SUPPORT A LIMITED NUMBER OF UNDERGRADUATES, ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM GROUPS TRADITIONALLY UNDERREPRESENTED IN GEOSCIENCE, TO ATTEND THE MEETING. THE 2024 SEDI MEETING WILL CONSIST OF EIGHT SESSIONS, ORGANIZED BY THE LAYERS AND BOUNDARY LAYERS WITHIN THE EARTH, WITH APPLICATIONS TO OTHER PLANETS AND MOONS. THE STRUCTURE OF THE SCHEDULE THEREFORE BRINGS TOGETHER SCIENTISTS FROM MULTIPLE SUB-DISCIPLINES OF GEOSCIENCES AS THEY FOCUS ON THE STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF THE SYSTEMS. THE SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS OF INTEREST TO THE MEETING INCLUDE THE STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF THE CORE AND MANTLE, CORE-MANTLE INTERACTIONS AND THE NATURE AND LOCATION OF DEEP GEOCHEMICAL RESERVOIRS, MATERIAL PROPERTIES AT EXTREME CONDITIONS, THE GEOMAGNETIC DYNAMO AND GEO AND PALEO MAGNETISM, AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE EARTH?S DEEP INTERIOR.

HDR DSC: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: THE DATA SCIENCE WAV: EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS -THIS PROJECT SIMULTANEOUSLY ADDRESSES TWO PROBLEMS: 1) THE INABILITY OF COMMUNITY-BASED AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO TACKLE DATA SCIENCE PROBLEMS; AND 2) THE LACK OF REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE GAINED BY STUDENTS STUDYING DATA SCIENCE. THE INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF DATA, COMBINED WITH INCREASED COMPUTING POWER AT LOWER COSTS, HAS BROUGHT TO THE DESKTOP TREMENDOUS ANALYTICAL AND PROBLEM SOLVING CAPABILITIES. YET MANY ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOT ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS BECAUSE THEY OFTEN LACK APPROPRIATE STAFFING TO WRESTLE WITH COMPLEX DATA SCIENCE PROBLEMS. MEANWHILE, AS STUDENTS INCREASINGLY GRAVITATE TOWARD DATA SCIENCE PROGRAMS, MUCH OF THEIR COURSE-BASED PROBLEM SOLVING EXPERIENCE FOCUSES ON CLEAN PROBLEMS WITH SIMPLE DATA SETS. THIS LEAVES THEM UNPREPARED FOR THE REALITY OF THE DATA SCIENCE APPLICATIONS THEY WILL FACE IN PROFESSIONAL SETTINGS. THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES BOTH ISSUES BY DEPLOYING TEAMS OF DATA SCIENCE STUDENTS TO ASSIST LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, THEREBY INCREASING THE LONG-TERM CAPACITY OF THE DATA SCIENCE WORKFORCE. THIS IS A MULTIFACETED PROJECT THAT WILL PROVIDE IMMEDIATE IMPACT TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND LONG-TERM BENEFIT FOR STUDENTS THROUGH VALUABLE HANDS-ON DATA SCIENCE EXPERIENCE. THERE ARE TWO MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT. FIRST, DATA SCIENCE WAV TEAMS OF FOUR SPECIALLY-TRAINED UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS WILL BE DEPLOYED TO COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO WRANGLE, ANALYZE, AND VISUALIZE THEIR DATA. SECOND, THIS PROJECT WILL OFFER SUMMER FACULTY DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS DESIGNED TO HELP NEW INSTRUCTORS, ESPECIALLY THOSE AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES, TEACH DATA SCIENCE AT THEIR INSTITUTIONS. CURRICULAR INNOVATIONS THAT BRING EXPERIENTIAL DATA SCIENCE LEARNING INTO THE CURRICULUM WILL LEAD TO SUSTAINED IMPACT AT THE PARTNERING ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS AND IN THE LARGER PIONEER VALLEY REGION. THIS PROPOSAL IS DIVERSE ACROSS BOTH INSTITUTIONS AND STUDENT POPULATIONS. IT COMPRISES ONE MAJOR RESEARCH UNIVERSITY (THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, AMHERST), FOUR LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES (AMHERST, HAMPSHIRE, MOUNT HOLYOKE, AND SMITH), AND THREE LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGES (GREENFIELD, HOLYOKE, AND SPRINGFIELD TECHNICAL). THE INCLUSION OF TWO WOMEN'S COLLEGES (SMITH AND MOUNT HOLYOKE) AND TWO HISPANIC-SERVING INSTITUTIONS (HOLYOKE AND SPRINGFIELD TECHNICAL) WILL HELP ENSURE THAT A DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATION IS ENGAGED IN THE PROJECT. NSF'S HARNESSING THE DATA REVOLUTION DATA SCIENCE CORPS PROGRAM FOCUSES ON BUILDING CAPACITY FOR HARNESSING THE DATA REVOLUTION AT THE LOCAL, STATE, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL LEVELS TO HELP UNLEASH THE POWER OF DATA IN THE SERVICE OF SCIENCE AND SOCIETY. PROJECTS IN THIS PROGRAM ARE BEING JOINTLY FUNDED BY THE NSF'S HARNESSING THE DATA REVOLUTION BIG IDEA; THE DIRECTORATE FOR COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, DIVISION OF INFORMATION AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS; THE DIRECTORATE FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES, DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION; THE DIRECTORATE FOR MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES, DIVISION OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES; AND THE DIRECTORATE FOR SOCIAL, BEHAVIORAL AND ECONOMIC SCIENCES, OFFICE OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY ACTIVITIES AND DIVISION OF BEHAVIORAL AND COGNITIVE SCIENCES. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

IN THE PAST YEAR WE TRAINED AN MIT UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT MS. AFURA TAYLOR TO WORK ON THE XMM-NEWTON SGR B2 DATASET. AFURA DID AN EXCELLENT WORK REDUCING XMM DATA EXTRACTING SPECTRUM AND LIGHT CURVES FROM THE TARGET. SHE ALSO PERFORMED IMAGE ANALYSIS TO UNDERSTAND THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE INTERESTED SOURCE. SPECTRAL FITTING TIMING ANALYSIS AND IMAGE ANALYSIS ON THE XMM-NEWTON DATASET WERE ALL COMPLETED SO FAR. AFURA MADE A POSTER PRESENTATION REPORTING HER ANALYSIS RESULTS ON THIS PROJECT AT THE #235 AAS IN HONOLULU HAWAII IN JANUARY 2020 WHICH IS GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR AN UNDERGRADUATE. WE HAVE A SIMULTANEOUS 150 KS NUSTAR OBSERVATION ON SGR B2 OBTAINED FROM A SEPARATE PROPOSAL. JOINT XMM AND NUSTAR ANALYSIS IS THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL FOR THIS ANALYSIS. THEREFORE OUR TEAM ALSO REDUCED THE NUSTAR DATA AND PERFORMED SPECTRAL AND IMAGING STUDY. BY FEBRUARY 2020 WE HAVE FINISHED JOINT ANALYSIS OF NUSTAR AND XMM-NEWTON DATA. BY COMPARING WITH ARCHIVAL DATA WE CONCLUDE THAT AFTER TWO DECADES OF DECAYING SGR B2 S X-RAY EMISSION PROBABLY HAS ENTERED A CONSTANT BASE LEVEL EMISSION STAGE JUST AS WHAT WE PREDICTED IN THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL. THIS CONSTANT EMISSION LEVEL IS MOST LIKELY DUE TO LOW-ENERGY COSMIC-RAY CONTRIBUTION. THUS WE CAN USE SGR B2 CLOUD AS A PROBE FOR MEV-GEV CHARGED PARTICLES IN THE GALACTIC CENTER. OUR NEXT STEP IS TO WRITE A PAPER REPORTING ALL OUR FINDINGS FOR THIS PROJECT WITH A TITLE OF FIRST CONSTRAINTS ON THE GALACTIC CENTER MEV-GEV COSMIC-RAYS USING REMAINING X-RAY EMISSION FROM SGR B2 . UNDERGRADUATES INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT WILL BE MAJOR AUTHORS FOR THIS PAPER. THE SCIENCE PI SHUO ZHANG HAD A TRANSITION TIME FROM A POSTDOC AT MIT TO AN ASSISTANT PROFESSOR AT BARD COLLEGE. THEREFORE THIS PROJECT HAS TO BE TRANSFERRED FROM MIT TO BARD COLLEGE. THE LAST PHRASE OF THE PROJECT WILL TAKE PLACE AT BARD COLLEGE. OUR PLAN IS TO FOCUS ON WRITING THE DRAFT DURING JUNE TO AUGUST 2020 AND SUBMIT THE PAPER TO THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL IN FALL 2020. WE THEREFORE APPRECIATE CONTINUING SUPPORT TO THIS PROJECT WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO PUBLISH THIS RESULT.

CONFERENCE: BIENNIAL MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTATION FOR MUSIC CONFERENCE -THIS AWARD SUPPORTS THE 2026 MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTATION FOR MUSIC (MCM) CONFERENCE WHICH IS BEING HELD AT BARD COLLEGE IN ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, NEW YORK, JUNE 23-26, 2026. THIS CONFERENCE IS THE TENTH BIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE SOCIETY FOR MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTATION IN MUSIC, HELD ON ALTERNATING SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC. THE MAIN GOALS OF THE CONFERENCE ARE TO BRING TOGETHER RESEARCHERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD WHO COMBINE MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTATION WITH MUSIC THEORY, MUSIC ANALYSIS, COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE AND, TO PROVIDE A DEDICATED PLATFORM FOR THE COMMUNICATION AND EXCHANGE OF IDEAS AMONG RESEARCHERS IN MATHEMATICS, COMPUTER SCIENCE, MUSIC THEORY, COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE, MUSICOLOGY, AND RELATED DISCIPLINES. THE CONFERENCE INCLUDES PUBLIC CONCERTS AND SOUND INSTALLATIONS WHICH EXEMPLIFY THE TOPICS AT THE INTERSECTION OF MATHEMATICS, COMPUTATION, AND MUSIC. MATHEMATICIANS AND MUSICIANS SHARE LONGSTANDING INTERESTS IN CLASSIFICATION, ACOUSTICS, SYMMETRY, TRANSFORMATION, AND STRUCTURE; MCM PROVIDES A PRIMARY INTERNATIONAL FORUM WHERE THESE QUESTIONS ARE ADDRESSED USING MODERN MATHEMATICAL TOOLS AND ALSO ADVANCES RESEARCH AT THE INTERFACE OF MATHEMATICS, COMPUTATION, AND MUSIC THEORY, FOCUSING ON MATHEMATICALLY RIGOROUS MODELS OF MUSICAL STRUCTURE, PERCEPTION, AND CREATIVITY. THE ARTICLES THAT RESULT FROM THE MCM CONFERENCE WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE LECTURE NOTES IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (LNAI) SERIES. THESE ARTICLES HAVE UNDERGONE A STRICT PEER REVIEW PROCESS AND WILL BE PRESENTED EITHER AS TALKS (20-PAGE ARTICLES) OR POSTERS (12-PAGE ARTICLES). THERE WILL ALSO BE PLENARY TALKS ON CANONS IN MATHEMATICAL AND MUSICAL CONTEXTS AND PANEL SESSIONS ON: ALGEBRAIC AND TOPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON SCALE THEORY, HARMONY, AND NEORIEMANNIAN TRANSFORMATIONS; VOICE LEADING & RHYTHM; APPLICATIONS OF MATHEMATICS TO MUSIC THEORY ANALYSIS OF COMPOSERS AND STYLES; QUANTUM THEORY AND MUSIC; MATHEMATICAL APPROACHES TO MUSIC COGNITION, PITCH PERCEPTION, CONSONANCE-DISSONANCE, AND PERFORMANCE; ALGORITHMS AND MODELING FOR MUSIC AND MUSIC RELATED PHENOMENA; COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHES TO MUSIC. THE RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTED AT THE MEETING BRINGS INNOVATIONS NOT ONLY IN THE MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCES THROUGH NEW THEOREMS AND APPLICATIONS OF ABSTRACT THEORIES AND THE CREATION OF COMPUTATIONAL MODELS AND SOFTWARE, BUT ALSO MAKES AN IMPACT ON DIFFERENT AREAS WITHIN MUSIC, SUCH AS PERFORMANCE, MUSICOLOGY, MUSIC TEACHING, AND MUSIC COGNITION.
