Leading practice in tailings planning for high-throughput mining operations
Creators: name: Cox, Ben
name: Anstey, David
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Tailings planning requires integration of managerial, geotechnical, hydrological, hydrogeological, mining, and process engineering disciplines. It is an important activity for all mineral processing operations but is critically important to high-throughput mining operations that produce large tailings volumes. The large volumes mean that deposition and water management conditions can change rapidly over short durations and lead to adverse production outcomes or failure. Both the Canadian oil sands and Chilean copper mining industries contain multiple examples of high-throughput mining operations. They provide useful case studies to identify leading practices in tailings planning and management. Copper and oil sands mining differ in their history, labor costs, tailings composition, regulatory requirements, risk tolerance, and climate. However, there remain opportunities for both industries to learn from each other. Different approaches to design, operation, water management and regulation provide opportunities to develop a leading practice approach to tailings planning. Examples of these practices include the separation of long and short-range planning activities, the use of probabilistic as opposed to deterministic mass balance models, a focus on the management of slimes (or fluid tailings) as a distinct tailings stream, and the integration of consolidation into volumetric tailings planning.

description: The present study aimed to examine how the replaceability of a loss moderates the effectiveness of compensation. In Study 1, we sampled real-life experiences of experiential loss, material loss, or loss of materials to which the victims had special attachment, and assayed subsequent feelings toward the transgressor who caused the loss. The results showed that for those who reported losses of an experience or cherished material object, perpetrators’ offers of compensation did not facilitate forgiveness. In Study 2, by manipulating replaceability of hypothetical losses in vignettes, we showed that compensation for replaceable losses effectively elicits forgiveness from a victim, but compensation for irreplaceable losses is ineffective. A series of mediation analyses showed that the effect of replaceability on forgiveness is explained by the victim’s perception of whether their loss was sufficiently recovered. We discuss the function of compensation and its inherent limitations.

Thin films--Optical properties

description: Highly efficient LEDs and photovoltaic cells based on spin coated films of layered Ruddlesden-Popper hybrid perovskites (RPP) have been recently reported. The electronic structure and phase composition of these films remains an open question, with diverse explanations offered accounting for the excellent device performance. Here we report x-ray and optical characterization of hot cast RPP thin films, emphasizing the distribution of structural and electronic properties through the film depth. Our results indicate an at least 70% phase pure n=3 film results from casting a stoichiometric solution of precursors, with minor contributions from n=2 and n=4 phases. We observe a strong correspondence between the predicted single-crystal RPP reciprocal lattice and measured RPP film wide angle scattering pattern, indicating a highly ordered [101] oriented film. This correspondence is broken at the air-film interface where new scattering peaks indicate the existence of a long wavelength structural distortion localized near the films surface. Using transient absorption spectroscopy, we show that the previously detected luminescent mid-gap states are localized on the films surface. Investigating films of varying thickness, we determine the photo-excited carrier dynamics are dominated by diffusion to this interface state, and extract an excitonic diffusivity of 0.18cm2s-1. We suggest that the observed surface distortion is responsible for the creation of luminescent mid-gap states.

description: The paper "Calorimetric Dark Matter Detection with Galactic Center Gas Clouds" (Bhoonah et al. 2018) aims to derive limits on dark matter interactions by demanding that heat transfer due to DM interactions is less than that by astrophysical cooling, using clouds in the hot, high-velocity nuclear outflow wind of the Milky Way ($T_{wind} \sim 10^{6-7}$ K, $V_{wind} \sim$ 330 km/s). We argue that clouds in such an extreme environment cannot be assumed to be stable over the long timescales associated with their radiative cooling rates. Furthermore, Bhoonah et al. (2018) uses incorrect parameters for their clouds.

Structural and biophysical characterization of protocadherin extracellular regions

Publisher: name: Columbia University

description: Neural circuit assembly requires that the axons and dendrites of the same neuron do not overlap each other while interacting freely with those from different neurons. This requires that each neuron have a unique cell surface identity to that of its neighbors and that neural self-recognition leads to repulsion, a process known as self-avoidance. Self-avoidance is perhaps best understood in Drosophilia, where homophilic recognition between individual Dscam1 isoforms on the cell surface of neurons leads to repulsion between sister dendrites and axons. However, in contrast to Drosophila, where alternative splicing of the Dscam1 gene can generate thousands of isoforms, vertebrate Dscam genes do not generate significant diversity. The most promising candidate to fill this role in vertebrates is the clustered protocadherins (Pcdhs). Despite this hypothesis, little is known about clustered Pcdh proteins and how they interact.
      The clustered Pcdh genes are encoded in three contiguous gene loci, Pcdha, Pcdhb, and Pcdhg, which encode three related families of proteins, Pcdhα, -β, and -

TRP channels
Proteins--Structure

description: In recent years, the determination of several high-resolution structures of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels has led to significant progress within this field. The primary focus of this dissertation is to elucidate the structural characterization of TRPML1 and TRPP2.

Mutations in TRPML1 cause mucolipidosis type IV (MLIV), a rare neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder. We determined the first high-resolution crystal structures of the human TRPML1 I-II linker domain using X-ray crystallography at pH 4.5, pH 6.0, and pH 7.5. These structures revealed a tetramer with a highly electronegative central pore which plays a role in the dual Ca2+/pH regulation of TRPML1. Notably, these physiologically relevant structures of the I-II linker domain harbor three MLIV-causing mutations. Our findings suggest that these pathogenic mutations destabilize not only the tetrameric structure of the I-II linker, but also the overall architecture of full-length TRPML1. In addition, TRPML1 proteins containing MLIV-causing mutations mislocalized in the cell when imaged by confocal fluorescence microscopy.

Mutations in TRPP2 cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Since novel technological advances in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy have now enabled the determination of high-resolution membrane protein structures, we set out to solve the structure of TRPP2 using this technique. Our investigations offer valuable insight into the optimization of TRPP2 protein purification and sample preparation procedures necessary for structural analysis.

description: The Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) project will equip patients with tools to measure their outcomes in a standardised way, while giving them control of their data. It is the first-ever attempt at scale to collect and incorporate patient outcomes into health care decision making at an individual and population level. The purpose of the blueprint is to compile H2O approaches related to establishing and/or expanding the H2O model, developed within different work streams, and to provide guidance on how these can be applied. As new countries, new data sources, new diseases and new technology partners are brought into the H2O network, this blueprint can help steer future collaborators. As we are already starting to expand beyond the initial four countries, it is critical that we have a documented approach that can be used not only for any expansion during the remaining years of IMI funding but also for the management of the growth of the network once this becomes fully independent. This deliverable includes three primary blueprints, 1) on the development of a new data collection site, 2) on the addition of a new technology provider, and 3) on the inclusion of a new H2O accredited disease outcome set.

description: Vitamin A is an essential nutrient; it is not synthesized by mammals and therefore must be obtained through the diet. During times of fasting or dietary vitamin A insufficiency, retinol, the alcohol form of the vitamin is released from the liver, its main storage tissue, for circulation in complex with retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP) to provide an adequate supply to peripheral tissues. Stimulated by Retinoic Acid 6 (STRA6), the transmembrane RBP receptor, mediates retinol uptake across blood-tissue barriers such as the retinal pigment epithelium of the eye, the placenta and the choroid plexus of the brain. Our understanding as to how this protein functions has been greatly enhanced by the high-resolution 3D structure of zebrafish STRA6 in complex with calmodulin (CaM) solved by single-particle cryogenic-electron microscopy. However, the nature of the interaction of STRA6 with retinol remains unclear. Here, I present the high-resolution structures of zebrafish and sheep STRA6 reconstituted in nanodisc lipid bilayers in the presence and absence of retinol. The nanodisc reconstitution system has allowed us to study this protein in a close to physiological environment and examine its interaction with the cell membrane and relationship with its ligand, retinol. We also present the structure of sheep STRA6 in complex with human RBP. The structure of the STRA6-RBP complex confirms predictions in the literature as to the nature of the protein-protein interaction needed for retinol transport. Calcium-bound CaM is bound to STRA6 in the RBP-STRA6 structure, consistent with a regulatory role of this calcium binding protein in STRA6-RBP interaction. The analysis of the three states of STRA6 – pre, post and during interaction with retinol – provide unique insights into the mechanism of STRA6-mediated cellular retinol uptake.

description: The 3-dimensional (3-D) calculation of the atmospheric neutrino flux by means of the FLUKA Monte Carlo model is here described in all details, starting from the latest data on primary cosmic ray spectra. The importance of a 3-D calculation and of its consequences have been already debated in a previous paper. Here instead the focus is on the absolute flux. We stress the relevant aspects of the hadronic interaction model of FLUKA in the atmospheric neutrino flux calculation. This model is constructed and maintained so to provide a high degree of accuracy in the description of particle production. The accuracy achieved in the comparison with data from accelerators and cross checked with data on particle production in atmosphere certifies the reliability of shower calculation in atmosphere. The results presented here can be already used for analysis by current experiments on atmospheric neutrinos. However they represent an intermediate step towards a final release, since this calculation does not yet include the bending of charged particles in atmosphere. On the other hand this last aspect, while requiring a considerable effort in a fully 3-D description of the Earth, if a high level of accuracy has to be maintained, does not affect in a significant way the analysis of atmospheric neutrino events.

description: How neurons choose appropriate synaptic partners to form functional neural circuits is not well understood. Two subfamilies of Drosophila immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) cell surface proteins, Dprs (defective proboscis response) and DIPs (Dpr interacting proteins) are broadly expressed in the nervous system and involved in the development of neural circuits. A qualitative interactome developed from high-throughput experiments has shown that each DIP interacts with a unique set of Dpr proteins. Neurons with distinct synaptic specificities express distinct combinations of Dprs, while a subset of their synaptic partners express the complementary DIPs. These findings are consistent with the idea that the specificity of interactions between Dprs and DIPs help to define the synaptic connectivity of the neurons in which they are expressed. Thus, it is essential to fully understand interactions between members of these two protein families.
      Using surface plasmon resonance (SPR), we have generated a quantitative Dpr and DIP interactome, which contained several novel features. We determined the binding affinities of the majority of Dpr-DIP interactions, revealing binding groups that span a range of affinities and reflect DIP and Dpr phylogeny. Crystal structures of Dpr-DIP heterocomplexes were determined and used to design site-specific mutants that, along with SPR experiments, reveal the major determinants of Dpr-DIP binding specificity.
      Using analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), we show that some Dpr and DIP family members form homophilic dimers as well. Multiple crystal structures of DIP homodimers reveal the molecular determinants of homophilic binding and structure-guided mutants along with AUC experiments further validated their mechanism of interaction. The existence of DIP and Dpr homodimers suggests the possibility of still-unknown mechanisms of Dprs and DIPs in neural circuit formation.
      Based on information derived from our crystal structures and biophysical experiments, we designed, produced, and tested Dpr and DIP proteins with altered binding properties. Many of the structural and biophysical studies described in this thesis were undertaken to produce tools to probe Dpr and DIP function in an in vivo setting. Parallel studies utilizing many of the mutant proteins described here (and other reagents that are not described here) are underway in the Zipursky lab, and are not described herein.

description: We show that the presence of nearby Coulombic resonances at finite energy could lead to the enhancement of the dark matter annihilation cross section at specific non-zero velocities correlated with the mass splitting between the dark matter pair and that of the resonance. If one of these resonant velocities approximately matches the velocity of dark matter in our local neighbourhood, we would see this enhancement in existing indirect-detection measurements, such as the measurements of the continuum photon spectrum made by HESS and Fermi-LAT. We explore this effect in the context of pure Higgsino and Wino dark matter with a variable splitting between charged and neutral components, controlled by the Wilson coefficient of a higher-dimension operator. For electroweak WIMPs a relevant and appreciable enhancement from Coulomb resonances requires tuning the charged-neutral splitting to be of order the Coulomb binding energies. This leads to strong exclusions of Higgsino dark matter with charged-neutral splittings in the narrow ranges (2, 2.5) and (8.5, 10.5) MeV. In contrast, by decreasing the charged-neutral splitting for the thermal Wino, we can move the Yukawa resonance away from the thermal relic mass, decreasing the indirect-detection signal to a level that is compatible with HESS measurements in the window (25, 35) MeV.

description: We report the results of a theoretical and experimental study of a spherical gravitational wave antenna. We show that it is possible to understand the data from a spherical antenna with 6 radial resonant transducers attached to the surface in the truncated icosahedral arrangement. We find that the errors associated with small deviations from the ideal case are small compared to other sources of error, such as a finite signal-to-noise ratio. An in situ measurement technique is developed along with a general algorithm that describes a procedure for determining the direction of an external force acting on the antenna, including the force from a gravitational wave, using a combination of the transducer responses. The practicality of these techniques was verified on a room-temperature prototype antenna.

description: A two-dimensional mathematical model for cells migrating without adhesion capabilities is presented and analyzed. Cells are represented by their cortex, which is modelled as an elastic curve, subject to an internal pressure force. Net polymerization or depolymerization in the cortex is modelled via local addition or removal of material, driving a cortical flow. The model takes the form of a fully nonlinear degenerate parabolic system. An existence analysis is carried out by adapting ideas from the theory of gradient flows. Numerical simulations show that these simple rules can account for the behavior observed in experiments, suggesting a possible mechanical mechanism for adhesion-independent motility.

The exponent p of the algebraic decay P(t) ~ 1/t^p is shown to have the universal value p=1 due to tunneling and localization effects. Experimental evidence of such decay should be observable in mesoscopic systems and cold atoms.

We define this general framework by constructing a low-energy effective theory containing the Standard Model fields, with one or two Higgs doublets and, as the only source of SU(3)^5 flavour symmetry breaking, the background values of fields transforming under the flavour group as the ordinary Yukawa couplings. We analyse present bounds on the effective scale of dimension-six operators, which range between 1 and 10 TeV, with the most stringent constraints imposed by B -> X_s gamma. In this class of theories, it is possible to relate predictions for FCNC processes in B physics to those in K physics. We compare the sensitivity of various experimental searches in probing the hypothesis of MFV. Within the two-Higgs-doublet scenario, we develop a general procedure to obtain all tan(beta)-enhanced Higgs-mediated FCNC amplitudes, discussing in particular their impact in B -> l^+l^-, Delta M_B and B -> X_s gamma. As a byproduct, we derive some two-loop tan(beta)-enhanced supersymmetric contributions to B -> X_s gamma previously unknown.

description: We present an updated model of the cosmic ionizing background from the UV to the X-rays. Relative to our previous model (Faucher-Giguere et al. 2009), the new model provides a better match to a large number of up-to-date empirical constraints, including: 1) new galaxy and AGN luminosity functions; 2) stellar spectra including binary stars; 3) obscured and unobscured AGN; 4) a measurement of the non-ionizing UV background; 5) measurements of the intergalactic HI and HeII photoionization rates at z~0-6; 6) the local X-ray background; and 7) improved measurements of the intergalactic opacity. In this model, AGN dominate the HI ionizing background at z

Arge segmentaria var. rufiventris konow, 1899

description: Arge segmentaria var. rufiventris Konow, 1899
A junior subjective synonym of Arge rustica (Linnaeus, 1758). Hitherto always treated as a synonym of the same species: Arge segmentaria (Panzer, 1803) = Arge atrata (Forster, 1771) = Arge rustica (Linnaeus, 1758) (Malaise & Benson 1934).
Types. Arge segmentaria var. rufiventris Konow, 1899: 204. Syntypes ♂ ♀, “ad Asiae minoris oppidum Akbes”. Lectotype ♀, hereby designated (MNCN _ Ent 82313, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 2265, Fig.34, see also http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.767323. Type locality: Turkey: Hatay: Akbes (36.857°N, 36.518°E; “Akbés”). Paralectotypes: 6 ♀ (MNCN _Ent 82315–82320), 4 ♂ (MNCN _Ent 82314, see http:// dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.769203, MNCN _Ent 82321–82323, all MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 2265).
Discussion. The taxon requires further scrutiny. It seems quite possible, that several species are mixed up under the name Arge rustica. Currently about 10 nominal taxa are treated as synonyms of A. rustica. Recent results of COI barcoding show four different clusters for specimens identified as A. rustica. Referring to Konow (1899), the taxon was after its description only mentioned by Schedl (2009, for Syria) and in synonymy lists of catalogs. However, even if the locality Akbés in the late 19 th and early 20 th century has been associated with “ Syria ” in the historical sense, it belongs today to Turkey.

description: In order to reclaim ultra-soft tailings (e.g. oil sands) ponds great amount of research and technology work has been performed over the years to optimize the dewatering and consolidation of Fine Fluid Tailings (FFT), including the use of different chemical flocculants and mechanical deposition approaches. Yet, traditionally flocculation, hence settling, and consolidation are treated as two independent processes. Here integrate these two processes, proving how implementation of certain types of flocculants influences the consolidation rates and strength of the deposit. Laboratory studies on small scale settling columns carried out at Deltares tested the settling and consolidation rates, and the strength development of FFT samples treated with different flocculants dosage under different water chemistry and pH conditions. These systematic tests revealed distinct correlations between flocculation and consolidation and strength properties. These studies also enabled us to find specific laboratory and analytical tools to assess the relevant properties of the tailings. We will show that using what is generally called "zeta potential” (in fact “electrophoretic”) measurements allow obtaining fast and reliable information about the tailings’ composition, such to estimate the required flocculant dose to optimize geotechnical properties. This, combined with the analytical methods to estimate consolidation rates from settling column, allowed us to distinctly correlate flocculation with consolidation.

description: Training aimed at early career researchers (ECRs) (e.g. Master and PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers) is essential for them to develop important skills for success in graduate degrees and future professional careers. Among others, this can include training in a variety of subject-specific, communication, project management, and other transferable skills.
 As part of WP7 of the APPLICATE project, the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) in cooperation with APPLICATE developed and conducted comprehensive and targeted in-person and online training events and resources for ECRs (see Figure 1), addressing a variety of topics and skills: The APECS-APPLICATE Online Seminar Series (Fall 2017): all three seminars combined were attended by 46 ECRs and the recordings have been viewed 279 times A training session on 17 January 2018 during the APPLICATE General Assembly 2018 (Barcelona, Spain) attended by approximately 10 ECRs The Polar Prediction School 2018 (Abisko, Sweden, 17 - 27 April 2018) attended by 29 ECRs A training workshop from 30 January to 1 February 2019 during the APPLICATE General Assembly 2019 (Reading, UK) attended by approximately 10 ECRs The APECS-APPLICATE-YOPP Online Course 2019 "Advancing Predictive Capability of Northern Hemisphere Weather and Climate” (September - December 2019) attended by 125 ECRs in total A collection of Polar Prediction Resources on the APECS website
 Overall, WP7 training activities were successful and represent valuable resources and a legacy of the APPLICATE project. This report includes a summary of the activities, the wealth of lessons learned from them and the recommendations provided for organizers of similar activities.

description: Strömungsfreie Schwingungen sind bei der Durchströmung und Umströmung von Körpern anzutreffen, wobei die Anströmung stationär oder instationär sein kann. Kennzeichen aller fluidelastischen Schwingungen ist eine Wechselwirkung zwischen dem strömenden Fluid und der angeströmten Struktur. Die Kopplung wird über die fluidischen Kräfte hergestellt, die ihrerseits von der Strukturbewegung abhängen. Während sich das Verhalten schwingender Strukturen gut berechnen läßt, trifft dies für das interaktive (Um-)Strömungsfeld nur bedingt zu. Daher arbeitet man mit Modellen, die an dominanten Phänomenen orientiert sind.

description: Let a deck of n cards be shuffled by successively exchanging the cards in positions 1, 2, ..., n with cards in randomly chosen positions. We show that for n equal to 18 or greater, the identity permutation is the most likely. We prove a surprising symmetry of the resulting distribution on permutations. We also obtain the limiting distribution of the number of fixed points as n goes to infinity.

description: Observations of gravitational waves and their electromagnetic counterparts may soon uncover the existence of coalescing compact binary systems formed by a stellar-mass black hole and a neutron star. These mergers result in a remnant black hole, possibly surrounded by an accretion disk. The mass and spin of the remnant black hole depend on the properties of the coalescing binary. We construct a map from the binary components to the remnant black hole using a sample of numerical-relativity simulations of different mass ratios $q$, (anti-)aligned dimensionless spins of the black hole $a_{\rm BH}$, and several neutron star equations of state. Given the binary total mass, the mass and spin of the remnant black hole can therefore be determined from the three parameters $(q,a_{\rm BH},Λ)$, where $Λ$ is the tidal deformability of the neutron star. Our models also incorporate the binary black hole and test-mass limit cases and we discuss a simple extension for generic black hole spins. We combine the remnant characterization with recent population synthesis simulations for various metallicities of the progenitor stars that generated the binary system. We predict that black-hole-neutron-star mergers produce a population of remnant black holes with masses distributed around $7M_\odot$ and $9M_\odot$. For isotropic spin distributions, nonmassive accretion disks are favoured: no bright electromagnetic counterparts are expected in such mergers.

description: Chip-scale frequency comb sources are key elements for a variety of applications, comprising massively parallel optical communications and high-precision optical metrology. In this talk, we give an overview on our recent progress in the area of integrated optical comb generators and of the associated applications. Our experiments cover modulator-based comb sources, injection locking of gain-switched laser diodes, quantum-dash mode-locked lasers, as well as Kerr comb sources based on cavity solitons. We evaluate and compare the performance of these devices as optical sources for massively parallel wavelength division multiplexing at multi-terabit/s data rates, and we report on comb-based approaches for high-precision distance metrology.
Stationary perturbations and infinitesimal rotations of static Einstein-Yang-Mills configurations with bosonic matter

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Using the Kaluza-Klein structure of stationary spacetimes, a framework for analyzing stationary perturbations of static Einstein-Yang-Mills configurations with bosonic matter fields is presented. It is shown that the perturbations giving rise to non-vanishing ADM angular momentum are governed by a self-adjoint system of equations for a set of gauge invariant scalar amplitudes. The method is illustrated for SU(2) gauge fields, coupled to a Higgs doublet or a Higgs triplet. It is argued that slowly rotating black holes arise generically in self-gravitating non-Abelian gauge theories with bosonic matter, whereas, in general, soliton solutions do not have rotating counterparts.

Modelling Competing Legal Arguments using Bayesian Model Comparison and Averaging

description: Bayesian models of legal arguments generally aim to produce a single integrated model, combining each of the legal arguments under consideration. This combined approach implicitly assumes that variables and their relationships can be represented without any contradiction or misalignment, and in a way that makes sense with respect to the competing argument narratives. This paper describes a novel approach to compare and 'average' Bayesian models of legal arguments that have been built independently and with no attempt to make them consistent in terms of variables, causal assumptions or parametrisation. The approach involves assessing whether competing models of legal arguments are explained or predict facts uncovered before or during the trial process. Those models that are more heavily disconfirmed by the facts are given lower weight, as model plausibility measures, in the Bayesian model comparison and averaging framework adopted. In this way a plurality of arguments is allowed yet a single judgement based on all arguments is possible and rational.
