Development of a comprehensive HPGR model using large experimental data sets
Creators: name: Wang, Chengtie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Mining activities, particularly the crushing and grinding process, are energy intensive and energy inefficient. To meet the increasing demand in raw materials, mining companies need to focus more on energy efficiency that can enhance the operating profitability and meet the society demands for reduced carbon footprint. The High Pressure Grinding Roll (HPGR) is an important energy-efficient comminution technology with potential to significantly reduce energy consumption in the mining industry. However, a wider adoption of the HPGR is considered slow. The goal of this research is to increase the accessibility of HPGR technology for all mining companies and their projects. A key outcome is the development of a comprehensive simulator incorporating empirical and semi-empirical models for HPGR equipment sizing, circuit design, and process simulation. Empirical models for predicting key HPGR sizing parameters were developed based on large pilot HPGR tests conducted at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The predictions are primarily driven by feed material characteristics and HPGR operating conditions. This approach enables the sizing and selection of HPGR for cases with no specific HPGR characterization test work. Typically, mining projects would undergo different study phases for project evaluation. A framework incorporating empirical models and small scale Piston-die Press Testing (PPT) data was proposed, which aimed at providing a low-cost option for HPGR evaluation while meeting the specific requirements per each study phase. Case studies were presented to demonstrate the use of empirical models and some specific HPGR characterization test work under the proposed framework to support different stage of studies. Advances have also been made in addition to the semi-empirical model developed by Davaanyam (2015) that enhanced the capacity of HPGR modeling and simulation. At last, a comprehensive HPGR simulator was developed for HPGR evaluation integrating HPGR empirical models, semi-empirical models and phenomenological models. Overall, the development of a comprehensive and reliable HPGR model and simulator provides an easier access to mining companies who may benefit from the HPGR technology. Ultimately, it is hopeful that increased number of HPGR installations can be promoted and greater energy savings can be realized.

description: We present an adiabatic quantum algorithm for the abstract problem of searching marked vertices in a graph, or spatial search. Given a random walk (or Markov chain) $P$ on a graph with a set of unknown marked vertices, one can define a related absorbing walk $P'$ where outgoing transitions from marked vertices are replaced by self-loops. We build a Hamiltonian $H(s)$ from the interpolated Markov chain $P(s)=(1-s)P+sP'$ and use it in an adiabatic quantum algorithm to drive an initial superposition over all vertices to a superposition over marked vertices. The adiabatic condition implies that for any reversible Markov chain and any set of marked vertices, the running time of the adiabatic algorithm is given by the square root of the classical hitting time. This algorithm therefore demonstrates a novel connection between the adiabatic condition and the classical notion of hitting time of a random walk. It also significantly extends the scope of previous quantum algorithms for this problem, which could only obtain a full quadratic speed-up for state-transitive reversible Markov chains with a unique marked vertex.

description: Genome and proteome annotation pipelines are generally custom built and therefore not easily reusable by other groups, which leads to duplication of effort and suboptimal results. One cost-effective way to increase the data quality in public databases is to encourage the adoption of annotation standards and technological solutions that enable the sharing of biological knowledge and tools for genome and proteome annotation.
Here we use the HAMAP system (https://expasy.hamap.org) to demonstrate technical solutions that facilitate the combination and reuse of functional genome annotation systems from any provider. HAMAP classifies protein sequences using a collection of expert-curated protein family signatures and annotation rules that provide the same level of detail and quality of annotation as expert curated UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot records. HAMAP provides a major part of the content of the UniProt UniRule pipeline for the annotation of UniProtKB/TrEMBL. The current implementation of HAMAP uses a custom rule format and annotation engine though that are not easy to integrate into external pipelines.
We have translated the rules of our HAMAP proteome annotation pipeline to queries in the W3C standard SPARQL 1.1 syntax (SPARQL is a recursive acronym for the SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language). This allows users to apply HAMAP rules to annotate protein sequences expressed as RDF using off-the-shelf SPARQL engines to achieve UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot levels of detail and quality - without any need for a custom pipeline. If other annotation projects adopt the same approach, it will be possible to share the rules of different projects, execute them with any SPARQL engine, and compare the results.

description: Determining the flow discharge in meandering channels with a compound cross section is associated with problems due to the complex hydraulic structure of the flow in the meander belt, which can be attributed to different and ever-changing geometric shapes of the meander. This research paper intends to study the accuracy of several one-dimensional experimental methods in determining the flow discharge. To this end, the results of laboratory data related to four meandering compound channels have been used, and the accuracy of three important methods to determine the flow discharge have been checked in these channels.

description: Phase-pure polycrystalline Ba0.6K0.4+xFe2As2 with were prepared using a one-step solid-state reaction method. We found that over-doping of potassium can improve critical current density (Jc). High-field Jc for samples with x = 0.1 is three times higher than that for samples with x = 0. Over-doping of K has minimal effect on the critical transition temperature (Tc). Less than 0.5 K degradations in Tc was measured for samples with x = 0.1. TEM revealed high concentration of dislocations in samples with x = 0.1, resulting in enhanced flux pining. Further analyses on magnetization loops for powder samples confirm that K over-doping can promote intra-grain Jc. Our results indicate that slight excess of K in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 samples is beneficial to high-field applications.

description: The energy states in semiconductor quantum dots are discrete as in atoms, and quantum states can be coherently controlled with resonant laser pulses. Long coherence times allow the observation of Rabi-flopping of a single dipole transition in a solid state device, for which occupancy of the upper state depends sensitively on the dipole moment and the excitation laser power. We report on the robust preparation of a quantum state using an optical technique that exploits rapid adiabatic passage from the ground to an excited state through excitation with laser pulses whose frequency is swept through the resonance. This observation in photoluminescence experiments is made possible by introducing a novel optical detection scheme for the resonant electron hole pair (exciton) generation.

description: We analyze the charge and spin pumping in an interacting dot within the almost adiabatic limit. By using a non-equilibrium Green's function technique within the time-dependent slave boson approximation, we analyze the pumped current in terms of the dynamical constraints in the infinite-U regime. The results show the presence of parasitic pumping currents due to the additional phases of the constraints. The behavior of the pumped current through the quantum dot is illustrated in the spin-insensitive and in the spin-sensitive case relevant for spintronics applications.

description: Subbarrier alpha transfer reaction 13C(6Li,d)17O(6.356 MeV, 1/2+) at 3.6 MeV is analyzed with a alpha + d + 13C three-body model, and the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) for alpha + 13C --> 17O(6.356 MeV, 1/2+), which essentially determines the reaction rate of 13C(alpha,n)16O, is extracted. Breakup effects of 6Li in the initial channel and those of 17O in the final channel are investigated with the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method (CDCC). The former is found to have a large back-coupling to the elastic channel, while the latter turns out significantly small. The transfer cross section calculated with Born approximation to the transition operator, including breakup states of 6Li, gives (C_{alpha 13C}{17O*})^2 =1.03 \pm 0.29 fm^{-1}. This result is consistent with the value obtained by the previous DWBA calculation.

The early blast wave of the 2010 explosion of U Scorpii

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations exploring the first 18 hours of the 2010 January 28 outburst of the recurrent nova U Scorpii have been performed. Special emphasis was placed on capturing the enormous range in spatial scales in the blast. The pre-explosion system conditions included the secondary star and a flared accretion disk. These conditions can have a profound influence on the evolving blast wave. The blast itself is shadowed by the secondary star, which itself gives rise to a low-temperature bow-shock. The accretion disk is completely destroyed in the explosion. A model with a disk gas density of 10^{15} cm^{-3} produced a blast wave that is collimated and with clear bipolar structures, including a bipolar X-ray emitting shell. The degree of collimation depends on the initial mass of ejecta, energy of explosion, and circumstellar gas density distribution. It is most pronounced for a model with the lowest explosion energy (10^{43} erg) and mass of ejecta (10^{-8} M_{\odot}). The X-ray luminosities of three of six models computed are close to, but consistent with, an upper limit to the early blast X-ray emission obtained by the Swift satellite, the X-ray luminosity being larger for higher circumstellar gas density and higher ejecta mass. The latter consideration, together with estimates of the blast energy from previous outbursts, suggests that the mass of ejecta in the 2010 outburst was not larger than 10^{-7} M_{\odot}.

Responsible Metrics: Why Management Matters

description: Presentation at ILIDE19 -

Management like numbers, especially numbers that gradually (or quickly!) increase over time. It is very easy to explain to more senior management that a 20 is bigger than a 10. However, when it comes to metrics in relation to research, numbers fluctuate over time, bigger is not always better and numbers don’t reveal the whole picture – things that are clear to those working with research outputs, but not necessarily understood at a strategic development level. A management culture that rewards increasing measures over quality, innovation and collaborative interdisciplinary research can lead to many unintended consequences, but often the effect of a change in policy to value research culture over metrics can lead to the measures decreasing for a period. This presentation will cover why responsible research indicators are important and the role that institutional managers have in their adoption. We will briefly cover the various approaches that are being adopted by institutions, including DORA, the Leiden Manifesto and the Metric Tide, and then discuss some of the key information that institutional managers need to consider in using research metrics to inform institutional policy.

The light curves span 12 years and show long-term periodicities (SMC-SC3) and modulated eclipses (SMC-SC4) that are discussed in terms of wide-orbit intermediate mass interacting binaries and associated envelopes. SMC-SC3 shows a primary period of 238.1 days along with a complicated waveform suggesting ellipsoidal variablity influenced by an eccentric orbit. This star also shows a secondary variability with an unstable periodicity that has a mean value of 15.3 days. We suggest this could be associated with nonradial pulsations.

description: Despite the increasing availability of Open Science (OS) infrastructure and the rise in policies to change behaviour, OS practices are not yet the norm. While pioneering researchers are developing OS practices, the majority sticks to the status quo. To transition to common practice, we must engage a critical proportion of the academic community. In this transition, OS Communities (OSCs) play a key role. OSCs are bottom-up learning groups of scholars that discuss OS within and across disciplines. They make OS knowledge more accessible and facilitate communication among scholars and policymakers. Over the past two years, twelve OSCs were founded at all Dutch university cities. In other countries, similar OSCs are starting up (Sweden, Serbia, Ireland, Saudi-Arabia).
 In this talk, we will make the case for the pivotal role OSCs play in the large-scale transition to OS and that meta-research provides the much-needed context which guides activities in OSCs. At the same time, we believe that OSCs provide a suitable platform for disseminating meta-research findings. Finally, we emphasize that despite the grassroot character of OSCs, support from universities is critical for OSCs to be viable, effective, and sustainable.

description: This paper presents a detailed comparison between high-redshift observations from the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) and predictions from the Munich semi-analytical model of galaxy formation. In particular, we focus this analysis on the magnitude, redshift, and colour distributions of galaxies, as well as their clustering properties. We constructed 100 quasi-independent mock catalogues, using the output of the semi-analytical model presented in De Lucia & Blaizot (2007).We then applied the same observational selection function of the VVDS-Deep survey, so as to carry out a fair comparison between models and observations. We find that the semi-analytical model reproduces well the magnitude counts in the optical bands. It tends, however, to overpredict the abundance of faint red galaxies, in particular in the i' and z' bands. Model galaxies exhibit a colour bimodality that is only in qualitative agreement with the data. In particular, we find that the model tends to overpredict the number of red galaxies at low redshift and of blue galaxies at all redshifts probed by VVDS-Deep observations, although a large fraction of the bluest observed galaxies is absent from the model. In addition, the model overpredicts by about 14 per cent the number of galaxies observed at 0.2

description: This is the second in a series of papers based on data from DISCS, a Submillimeter Array observing program aimed at spatially and spectrally resolving the chemical composition of 12 protoplanetary disks. We present data on six Southern sky sources - IM Lup, SAO 206462 (HD 135344b), HD 142527, AS 209, AS 205 and V4046 Sgr - which complement the six sources in the Taurus star forming region reported previously. CO 2-1 and HCO+ 3-2 emission are detected and resolved in all disks and show velocity patterns consistent with Keplerian rotation. Where detected, the emission from DCO+ 3-2, N2H+ 3-2, H2CO 3-2 and 4-3,HCN 3-2 and CN 2-1 are also generally spatially resolved. The detection rates are highest toward the M and K stars, while the F star SAO 206462 has only weak CN and HCN emission, and H2CO alone is detected toward HD 142527. These findings together with the statistics from the previous Taurus disks, support the hypothesis that high detection rates of many small molecules depend on the presence of a cold and protected disk midplane, which is less common around F and A stars compared to M and K stars. Disk-averaged variations in the proposed radiation tracer CN/HCN are found to be small, despite two orders of magnitude range of spectral types and accretion rates. In contrast, the resolved images suggest that the CN/HCN emission ratio varies with disk radius in at least two of the systems. There are no clear observational differences in the disk chemistry between the classical/full T Tauri disks and transitional disks. Furthermore, the observed line emission does not depend on measured accretion luminosities or the number of infrared lines detected, which suggests that the chemistry outside of 100 AU is not coupled to the physical processes that drive the chemistry in the innermost few AU.

Interpreting species, intraspecific and intra-individual variability by comprehensively characterizing a fish’s respiratory phenotype with valid measures of oxygen uptake
Creators: name: Zhang, Yangfan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Vertebrate life is sustained by aerobic metabolism and temporary bouts of anaerobic metabolism. Steady-state aerobic metabolism can be assessed by measuring whole-organism oxygen uptake (ṀO₂), the core of Fry’s paradigm, which becomes a part of a respiratory phenotype that also includes anaerobic capacity. In fishes, environment profoundly affects respiratory phenotype, perhaps even determining migratory and reproductive successes, partially driven by hypoxia, increased thermal and pathogen load. Understanding how such factors affect capacity, functional costs and mortality needs a more accurate, precise, and comprehensive characterization of a fish’s respiratory phenotype. Hence, I developed an Integrated Respiratory Assessment Paradigm (IRAP) to characterize a respiratory phenotype (its needs, capacities & patterns) for individual fish that responds to Fry’s paradigm (controlling, limiting, masking, directive, and lethal factors). Chapter 2 describes an IRAP protocol that measures 14 metrics in 8 fish simultaneously over 3 days, a high sampling throughput to better bridge physiology-&-ecology. Chapter 3 introduces and validates new analytical approaches that improved the resolution and accuracy of maximum ṀO₂ (ṀO₂max) estimations in aquatic respirometry. Chapter 4 illustrates the detection sensitivity of the refined IRAP by distinguishing respiratory phenotypes among three rainbow trout strains using differences in ṀO₂max, absolute aerobic capacity, critical oxygen saturation (O₂crit) and hypoxia tolerance. Moreover, high aerobic and anaerobic capacities correlated with high hypoxic and thermal tolerances among these strains. Chapter 5 explores how acclimation to hypoxia affects the respiratory phenotype, discovering hypoxia-acclimated European sea bass suppress standard metabolic rate (SMR) and O₂crit, a respiratory phenotype better suited for exploiting hypoxic habitats. Chapter 6 explores the diagnostic power of the refined IRAP by assessing the load-dependent changes to SMR, O₂crit, daily energy expenditure and routine ṀO₂ of a high-virulence infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus infection in sockeye salmon and a low-virulence piscine orthoreovirus infection in sockeye and Atlantic salmon. Chapter 7 assesses the repeatability of IRAP indices, showing four traits for aerobic capacity, routine ṀO₂ and time spend above 50% absolute aerobic scope were particularly repeatable. Chapter 8, therefore, synthesizes that high-resolution and reproducible metabolic phenotyping better poises ichthyologists to develop an individual-based metabolic model and integrate it with a Genomic-Physiology-Ecology axis.

THE ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF CORAL LIMESTONE USED AS SUB BASE IN DAR-BAGAMOYO ROAD PROJECT
Creators: name: Maregesi, Gerald
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: Civil geotechnical engineering

description: This paper presents and discusses the unusual poor engineering properties of coral limestone from Mpiji Borrow area in Bagamoyo District - Tanzania used as subbase materials during the construction of Wazo Hill – Bagamoyo Road. The discussion is based on the study and assessment of road subbase made of coral limestone at the project site in the coast of Dar Es Salaam and Coastal region, which involved about 148,000 square metres of pavement from chainage 28+900 to 42+800. The road length is 42.8 Kilometres starting at Wazo Hill Junction (Chainage 0+000) ending at Bagamoyo town (Chainage 42+800). The deterioration and damage of pavement started while the road construction was ongoing. The pavement failure warranted an immediate forensic investigation to establish the probable cause of the pavement failure. The geo-forensic investigation established that the primary cause of pavement failure was due to softening and swelling of coralline subbase caused by the imbibition of water supplied to the subbase layer during crushed base placing and compaction using ‘slushing’ compaction procedures. 
Tipologie testuali e competenze digitali: una relazione possibile?

description: Le tecnologie sono parte integrante della nostra vita quotidiana e diventa importante possedere i mezzi per affrontare anche le problematiche legate ad esse, cioè sviluppare delle abilità di digital literacy. Tra queste troviamo anche le competenze di visual literacy, sui linguaggi visivi e audiovisivi. In questo progetto ci si è interrogati sull’influenza di uno sviluppo parallelo tra visual literacy e altre competenze legate alle tipologie testuali. In particolare, si è ipotizzato un miglioramento nella redazione, nell’identificazione delle caratteristiche principali e nel riconoscimento dei tipi testuali. Il percorso per verificare le ipotesi ha previsto l’approfondimento in una classe di quinta elementare di tre tipologie (narrativo, regolativo e informativo-espositivo) associandoli ai generi filmici analoghi. Ad esempio, si è analizzato un cortometraggio da un punto di vista narrativo o si è prodotto un testo mediale regolativo. Nell’analisi si sono studiate delle produzioni dei bambini sotto tre punti di vista: redazione, identificazione delle caratteristiche e riconoscimento delle tipologie. I risultati mostrano un miglioramento nelle tre categorie che si può spiegare grazie alla varietà di stimoli offerta da un apprendimento parallelo: scritto e visuale. Relatore: Luca Botturi
Problem solving geometrico e generalizzazione: come intervengono la componente figurale e concettuale?
Creators: name: Duss, Samuele
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2023

description: Il lavoro di ricerca intende indagare in che modo intervengono la componente figurale e concettuale in un’attività di problem solving geometrico che implica il processo di generalizzazione. Esso si inserisce all’interno di un contesto di lesson study che ha coinvolto tre docenti di matematica di seconda media del Canton Ticino. Il dispositivo sperimentale è stato organizzato in due tappe. La prima mirava a definire e conoscere il campione di riferimento attraverso la somministrazione di un questionario e di un problema introduttivo. La seconda tappa, quella principale, ha comportato l’elaborazione e la messa in atto di un’attività di problem solving geometrico nelle rispettive tre classi, all’interno del laboratorio didattico. Tale attività, co-progettata con le colleghe, è stata affinata successivamente grazie ai momenti di debriefing caratteristici del lesson study. Attraverso un’analisi di tipo qualitativo, sono stati analizzati i protocolli risolutivi prodotti dai diversi gruppi di allievi confrontandoli con le riprese video e le osservazioni svolte durante l’attività. I risultati ottenuti sono coerenti con la teoria dei concetti figurali: in tutti i protocolli dei gruppi presi in esame sono intervenute, anche solo parzialmente, la componente figurale e concettuale. Invece per quanto riguarda l’aspetto legato alla generalizzazione si è riscontrato che l’armonizzazione di queste due componenti è un fattore indispensabile, ma non sufficiente, per condurre gli allievi a formulare una generalizzazione.

description: We present parallaxes of 11 mid-to-late T dwarfs observed in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey. We use these results to test the reliability of model predictions in magnitude-color space, determine a magnitude-spectral type calibration, and, estimate a bolometric luminosity and effective temperature range for the targets. We used observations from the UKIRT WFCAM instrument pipeline processed at the Cambridge Astronomical Survey Unit. The parallaxes and proper motions of the sample were calculated using standard procedures. The bolometric luminosity was estimated using near- and mid-infrared observations with two different methods. The corresponding effective temperature ranges were found adopting a large age-radius range. We show the models are unable to predict the colors of the latest T dwarfs indicating the incompleteness of model opacities for NH3, CH4 and H2 as the temperature declines. We report the effective temperature ranges obtained.

Development of a technology framework for rapid polymer MEMS fabrication process based on SU-8 photoresist
Creators: name: Ge, Chang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: This Ph.D. thesis introduces a technology framework to fabricate MEMS devices using SU-8 photoresist. The lithography process of SU-8 photoresist can directly create polymeric microstructures with good chemical and mechanical stability. This characteristic makes the SU-8 photoresist suitable as the structural material for polymeric MEMS devices. However, there are several issues in the current primary fabrication methods for SU-8 MEMS devices. Existing microfabrication methods suffer from processing complexity, uncertainties, and relatively high cost. This thesis focuses on addressing these issues. Novel methodologies are used to improve the fabrication process of SU-8 out-of-plane and in-plane MEMS devices. Sacrificial-layer-free fabrication of SU-8 out-of-plane MEMS devices has been implemented using an advanced lithography principle, pixel-level dose modulation, resulting in a three-step fabrication method. A novel processing strategy is proposed to implement optimum processing for SU-8 in-plane MEMS fabrication, resulting in a four-step fabrication method. Experimental case studies with test structures have been carried out to evaluate the newly-developed methods. The main features (process predictability, reproducibility, robustness, etc.) of the newly-developed microfabrication processes have been validated after calibration. The research work of this thesis presents two new technological paths to fabricate SU-8 MEMS devices. The technology framework proposed in this thesis validates the feasibility of the two new paths’ methodologies, building up the basis towards a customizable, low-cost, and rapid platform to fabricate polymeric MEMS devices. Meanwhile, the technology framework itself can be used for the rapid fabrication of SU-8 MEMS prototypes, accelerating the application and validation of novel principles and designs for polymeric MEMS devices.

description: We propose a method of achieving large temperature sensitivity in the Casimir force that involves measuring the stable separation between dielectric objects immersed in fluid. We study the Casimir force between slabs and spheres using realistic material models, and find large > 2nm/K variations in their stable separations (hundreds of nanometers) near room temperature. In addition, we analyze the effects of Brownian motion on suspended objects, and show that the average separation is also sensitive to changes in temperature . Finally, this approach also leads to rich qualitative phenomena, such as irreversible transitions, from suspension to stiction, as the temperature is varied.
