description: The surface gravities of cool (Teff < 13,000 K) hydrogen-atmosphere DA white dwarfs, determined from spectroscopic analyses, are found to be significantly higher than the canonical value of log g ~ 8 expected for these stars. It was recently concluded that a problem with the treatment of convective energy transport within the framework of the mixing-length theory was the most plausible explanation for this high-log g problem. We pursue the investigation of this discrepancy by computing model spectra of cool convective white dwarfs from a small sequence (11,300 K < Teff < 12,800 K) of 3D hydrodynamical model atmospheres, which feature a sophisticated treatment of convection and radiative transfer. Our approach is to proceed with a differential analysis between 3D and standard 1D models. We find that the 3D spectra predict significantly lower surface gravities, with corrections of the right amplitude as a function of effective temperature to obtain values of log g ~ 8 on average. We conclude that the surface gravity distribution of cool convective DA white dwarfs is much closer to that of hotter radiative objects when using, for the treatment of the convection, 3D models instead of the mixing-length framework.

Sidestream control of dissolved nutrients in anaerobically digested sludge centrate using anammox and chemical precipitation
Creators: name: Galvagno, Giampiero
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The objective of this research was to assess specific side-stream processes for biodegradation and precipitation of dissolved nutrients in dewatering centrate and support the seamless integration of an anaerobic digester (AD) into a biological nutrient removal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Anaerobic digestion processes release reactive and non-reactive dissolved nutrients which are returned to the mainstream treatment process in the dewatering centrate. Conventional side-stream treatment processes are typically designed for removal of reactive nutrients (ie, nitrate/nitrite, ammonia and orthophosphate). However, many WWTPs with low total nitrogen and total phosphorus criteria will also be impacted by the non-reactive, difficult-to-degrade nutrient forms such as polyphosphates (poly-P), dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). In this study, characterization was made of a conventional suspended growth deammonification treatment (Anammox) process for transforming poly-P, DOP and DON in two types of dewatering centrate. The first centrate feed studied was from the full-scale Annacis Island WWTP (AIWWTP), Canada. The second centrate feed was from a lab-scale AD fed waste sludge from the existing City of Kelowna Wastewater Treatment Facility (KWTF), Canada. The Anammox process showed similar treatment characteristics for both the KWTF and AIWWTP centrates with excellent DON removal and poor non-reactive dissolved phosphorus (NRDP) removal. A statistical comparison of the DOP and poly-P through the Anammox process suggests that DOP has a higher biodegradation potential. Utilization of a post-Anammox, poly aluminum chloride chemical dosing, optimized based on zeta potential, was able to achieve the objective of precipitating residual DON and NRDP and producing an effluent with lower dissolved nutrients than the pre-digestion KWTF dewatering centrate scenario. Additional testing was conducted on final effluent to characterize the dissolved phosphorus and determine an optimal coagulant dose. The testing suggests that the dissolved phosphorus in effluent could be associated with colloidal dissolved organic matter (DOM). Furthermore, coagulant batch dosing experiments using poly aluminium chloride (PACL) and poly epichlorohydrin amine (polyepiamine) provides strong support for the use of zeta potential measurements as a way to optimize coagulant dose.

description: We consider a (1+1)-dimensional ballistic deposition process with next-nearest neighbor interaction, which belongs to the KPZ universality class, and introduce for this discrete model a variational formulation similar to that for the randomly forced continuous Burgers equation. This allows to identify the characteristic structures in the bulk of a growing aggregate ("clusters" and "crevices") with minimizers and shocks in the Burgers turbulence, and to introduce a new kind of equipped Airy process for ballistic growth. We dub it the "hairy Airy process" and investigate its statistics numerically. We also identify scaling laws that characterize the ballistic deposition patterns in the bulk: the law of "thinning" of the forest of clusters with increasing height, the law of transversal fluctuations of cluster boundaries, and the size distribution of clusters. The corresponding critical exponents are determined exactly based on the analogy with the Burgers turbulence and simple scaling considerations.

description: The full non-linear evolution of the tidal instability is studied numerically in an ellipsoidal fluid domain relevant for planetary cores applications. Our numerical model, based on a finite element method, is first validated by reproducing some known analytical results. This model is then used to address open questions that were up to now inaccessible using theoretical and experimental approaches. Growth rates and mode selection of the instability are systematically studied as a function of the aspect ratio of the ellipsoid and as a function of the inclination of the rotation axis compared to the deformation plane. We also quantify the saturation amplitude of the flow driven by the instability and calculate the viscous dissipation that it causes. This tidal dissipation can be of major importance for some geophysical situations and we thus derive general scaling laws which are applied to typical planetary cores.

description: Near the flavor SU(3) limit, we propose an analytical description for color-flavor-locked-type Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) phase in the Nambu Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. The diquark behaviors in light-flavor and strange-flavor-involved channels and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of bound diquark states are studied. When the attractive interaction between quarks is strong enough, a BCS-BEC crossover is predicted in the environment with color-flavor-locked pairing pattern. The resulting Bose-Einstein condensed phase is found to be an intergrade phase before the emergence of the previous-predicted BEC phase in two-flavor quark superconductor.

An improved cosmic crystallography method to detect holonomies in flat spaces

description: A new, improved version of a cosmic crystallography method for constraining cosmic topology is introduced. Like the circles-in-the-sky method using CMB data, we work in a thin, shell-like region containing plenty of objects. Two pairs of objects (quadruplet) linked by a holonomy show a specific distribution pattern, and three filters of \emph{separation, vectorial condition}, and \emph{lifetime of objects} extract these quadruplets. Each object $P_i$ is assigned an integer $s_i$, which is the number of candidate quadruplets including $P_i$ as their members. Then an additional device of $s_i$-histogram is used to extract topological ghosts, which tend to have high values of $s_i$. In this paper we consider flat spaces with Euclidean geometry, and the filters are designed to constrain their holonomies. As the second filter, we prepared five types that are specialized for constraining specific holonomies: one for translation, one for half-turn corkscrew motion and glide reflection, and three for $n$-th turn corkscrew motion for $n=4, 3,$ and 6. {Every multiconnected space has holonomies that are detected by at least one of these five filters.} Our method is applied to the catalogs of toy quasars in flat $Λ$-CDM universes whose typical sizes correspond to $z\sim 5$. With these simulations our method is found to work quite well. {These are the situations in which type-II pair crystallography methods are insensitive because of the tiny number of ghosts. Moreover, in the flat cases, our method should be more sensitive than the type-I pair (or, in general, $n$-tuplet) methods because of its multifilter construction and its independence from $n$.}

Effects of moisture-induced thickness swelling on the microstructure of oriented strand board
Creators: name: Lube, Vinicius Munaldi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: When wood becomes wet and then dries, restraint of shrinkage at the surface of wood by wetter surface and also sub-surface layers causes tensile stresses to develop resulting in micro-checking. Wood elements in composites such as oriented strand board (OSB) also swell and shrink when they become wet and dry. Furthermore, some wood elements are large enough to develop unbalanced surface and sub-surface tensile stresses. Hence, moisture changes and swelling and shrinkage of OSB might result in micro-checking. I test this hypothesis in this thesis. I also examine whether micro-checking contributes to thickness swelling of OSB. I used macro-photography, X-ray micro-computed tomography, and field emission scanning electron microscopy to probe the microstructure of OSB exposed to wetting and drying. These techniques were used to visualize and quantify the thickness swelling of OSB and the dimensions of micro-checks and other voids in OSB during and after wetting and drying. The spatial micro-distribution of a zinc borate biocide in OSB was also examined before and after samples were exposed to wetting and drying. Numerous surface and internal micro-checks developed in OSB exposed to wetting and drying as I hypothesized. Micro-checks developed during wetting, unlike the pattern of checking found in solid wood. Enlargement of voids was also observed during wetting and drying. Micro-checks occurred at the interface between latewood and earlywood and in the rays of softwood flakes and, less commonly, in the rays of aspen flakes. My results indicate that the pattern of micro-checking of OSB is different in some respects to that of solid wood, and suggest that micro-checking contributes to the irreversible thickness swelling of OSB. I briefly discuss the implications of my findings for the development of treatments designed to reduce the irreversible thickness swelling of OSB.

description: For any continuous map f on a compact manifold M, we define the SRB-like (or observable) probabilities as a generalization of Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (i.e. physical) measures. We prove that f has observable measures, even if SRB measures do not exist. We prove that the definition of observability is optimal, provided that the purpose of the researcher is to describe the asymptotic statistics for Lebesgue almost every initial state. Precisely, the never empty set O of all the observable measures, is the minimal weak*-compact set of Borel probabilities in M that contains the limits (in the weak* topology) of all the convergent subsequences of the empiric probabilities for Lebesgue almost all x in M. We prove that any isolated measure in O is SRB. Finally we conclude that if O is finite or countable infinite, then there exist (up to countable many) SRB measures such that the union of their basins cover M Lebesgue a.e.

description: We discuss excess noise contributions of a practical balanced homodyne detector in Gaussian-modulated coherent-state (GMCS) quantum key distribution (QKD). We point out the key generated from the original realistic model of GMCS QKD may not be secure. In our refined realistic model, we take into account excess noise due to the finite bandwidth of the homodyne detector and the fluctuation of the local oscillator. A high speed balanced homodyne detector suitable for GMCS QKD in the telecommunication wavelength region is built and experimentally tested. The 3dB bandwidth of the balanced homodyne detector is found to be 104MHz and its electronic noise level is 13dB below the shot noise at a local oscillator level of 8.5*10^8 photon per pulse. The secure key rate of a GMCS QKD experiment with this homodyne detector is expected to reach Mbits/s over a few kilometers.

description: The stability of a rotating flow in a triaxial ellipsoidal shell with an imposed temperature difference between inner and outer boundaries is studied numerically. We demonstrate that (i) a stable temperature field encourages the tidal instability, (ii) the tidal instability can grow on a convective flow, which confirms its relevance to geo- and astrophysical contexts and (iii) its growth rate decreases when the intensity of convection increases. Simple scaling laws characterizing the evolution of the heat flux based on a competition between viscous and thermal boundary layers are derived analytically and verified numerically. Our results confirm that thermal and tidal effects have to be simultaneously taken into account when studying geophysical and astrophysical flows.

description: Invisibility cloaks, a subject that usually occurs in science fiction and myths, have attracted wide interest recently because of their possible realization. The biggest challenge to true invisibility is known to be the cloaking of a macroscopic object in the broad range of wavelengths visible to the human eye. Here we experimentally solve this problem by incorporating the principle of transformation optics into a conventional optical lens fabrication with low-cost materials and simple manufacturing techniques. A transparent cloak made of two pieces of calcite is created. This cloak is able to conceal a macroscopic object with a maximum height of 2 mm, larger than 3500 free-space-wavelength, inside a transparent liquid environment. Its working bandwidth encompassing red, green and blue light is also demonstrated.

description: We study the Kondo effect of a two-orbital vertical quantum dot (QD) coupled to two ferromagnetic leads by employing an equation of motion method. When the ferromagnetic leads are coupled with parallel spin polarization, we find three peaks in the single-particle excitation spectra. The middle one is the Kondo resonance caused by the orbital degrees of freedom. In magnetic fields, the Kondo effect vanishes. However, at a certain magnetic field new two-fold degenerate states arise and the Kondo effect emerges there. In contrast, when the ferromagnetic leads are coupled with antiparallel spin polarization, the Kondo effect caused by the spin (orbital) degrees of freedom survives (is suppressed) in magnetic fields. We investigate the field dependence of the conductance in the parallel and antiparallel spin polarizations of the leads and find that the conductance changes noticeably in magnetic fields.

In zero field we find a large residual linear term $κ_0/T$, more than 40% of the normal-state value. At low field, the $κ_0/T$ shows an $H^{1/2}$ dependence. These provide strong evidences for nodes in the superconducting gap of Ba(Fe$_{0.64}$Ru$_{0.36}$)$_2$As$_2$, which mimics that in another isovalently substituted superconductor BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$. Our results show that the isovalent Ru substitution can also induce nodal superconductivity in BaFe$_2$As$_2$, as P does, and they may have the same origin. We further compare them with other two nodal superconductors LaFePO and LiFeP.

description: The implications of a QCD phase transition at high temperatures and densities for core-collapse supernovae are discussed. For a strong first order phase transition to quark matter, various scenarios have been put forward in the literature. Here, detailed numerical simulations including neutrino transport are presented, where it is found that a second shock wave due to the QCD phase transition emerges shortly after bounce. It is demonstrated that such a supernova banging twice results in a second peak in the antineutrino spectrum. This second peak is clearly detectable in present neutrino detectors for a galactic supernova.

Endocrine-immune networks : modulatory role of early-life influences
Creators: name: Bodnar, Tamara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The central nervous system, endocrine system and immune system are developmentally and functionally intertwined, with shared receptors and regulatory feedback. Importantly, these systems are highly susceptible to environmental modulation, particularly the early life environment, with impacts on physiological function and communication among systems. Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) has been shown to alter neuroendocrine and immune systems, with marked downstream effects. With the overarching aim of elucidating networks of endocrine and immune parameters responsible for long-lasting immune system deficits that occur following PAE, networks were first evaluated under control conditions. Using Sprague Dawley rats from Charles River and Harlan vendor colonies with known endocrine/immune differences, we found a higher incidence and severity of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) in Harlan than Charles River rats, which was tied to differential activation of endocrine/immune networks. The multisystem approach utilized in this colony model was applied as a basic framework for investigating the impact of PAE in the AA model. In parallel to heightened sensitivity of Harlan rats, adult PAE rats showed an increased incidence and severity of AA, which were related to alterations in key endocrine/immune networks. Furthermore, examination of a second ‘hit’ of chronic mild stress exposure during adolescence showed heightened levels of inflammation-related damage with the two hits of PAE and stress, further suggestive of the immunomomodulatory impact of early life conditions. Finally, to determine whether the altered course of AA detected following PAE had its origins in the early postnatal period, a developmental time course of immune parameters was investigated. A specific immune signature of PAE was identified on postnatal day 8, characterized by alterations in the cytokine balance within the periphery and brain, with likely consequences for nervous, endocrine and immune system development. Due to the importance of the early postnatal period in shaping development of physiological systems, we propose that endocrine and immune alterations induced by PAE set the stage for increased sensitivity to AA and likely other auto-immune disorders in adulthood. Moving forward, this points to the potential utility of administering immune-based interventions in early life, with the aim of mitigating deficits associated with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).

In particular, we probe the interplay between transport and the tridimensional nature of the stability diagram. We choose the regime most pertinent for spin qubit applications. We find that at low bias transport through the triple quantum dot circuit is only possible at six quadruple point locations. The results are consistent with an equivalent circuit model.

This study is based on two different aspects of LTB. On the one hand, a symmetry property of LTB will be presented. On the other hand, the description of LTB in terms of some fundamental scalar functions (structure scalars) appearing in the orthogonal splitting of Riemann tensor will be provided. We shall consider as "natural" generalizations of LTB (hereafter referred to as GLTB) either those metrics admitting some similar kind of symmetry as LTB, or those sharing structure scalars with similar dependence on the metric.

The Gibbs potential at finite temperature is computed with regard for the one-loop plus ring diagram contributions. The strong first-order phase transition satisfying Sakharov's baryogenesis conditions is determined for the values of scalar field masses allowed by experimental data. The relation between the model parameters supplying the phase transition to be of the first order is derived. It is shown that a sequence of phase transitions is also possible. A comparison with results of other authors is done.

Health, climate, and time-use impacts from a carbon-financed cookstove intervention in rural India
Creators: name: Aung, The Wint

Year: 2017

description: Efforts to introduce efficient stoves and cleaner fuels increasingly leverage carbon-finance to scale up dissemination, highlighting climate, health, and livelihood co-benefits. However, actualization of co-benefits has not been evaluated. Two studies were implemented in Karnataka, India where a local organization initiated a Clean Development Mechanism-approved cookstove intervention. A one-year randomized intervention study assigned 187 households in a village to either receive the intervention or continue using traditional stoves, and evaluated fuelwood usage, indoor fine particle mass (PM₂.₅) and absorbance (Abs) levels, and blood pressure (BP) in women ≥ 25 years old (N=222). Forty percent of intervention homes continued using traditional stoves in combination with the intervention stove ("mixed stove"). There were minor and overlapping differences (post- minus pre-intervention change) between control and intervention groups for median (95% CI) fuel use [-0.60 (-1.02, -0.22) vs. -0.52 (-1.07, 0.00) kg day-¹], and 24-hr absorbance [35 (18, 60) vs. 36 (22, 50) x 10-⁶ m-¹]. For 24-hr PM₂.₅ difference, there was a higher increase in control compared to intervention homes [139 (61,229) vs. 73(-6, 156) μg m-³] between the two seasons. The intervention cookstoves partially mitigated the seasonal increase in PM₂.₅ concentrations but resulted in measurements with a higher ratio of absorbance to PM₂.₅ mass compared to traditional stoves. Exclusive use of intervention stove was not associated with significant changes in systolic or diastolic BP. Mixed stove homes were associated with higher SBP in both within-group (post-pre: 4.1 [(95% confidence interval), 0.4, 7.8] mm Hg) and between-group (9.5 [3.7, 15.3]) mm Hg analyses. In a cross-sectional, mixed-method study of households (N=50) in another village, time spent cooking and collecting fuelwood was similar between intervention and traditional stove homes. Women reported using saved time for farm work, household work, and leisure (e.g. rest, spend time with family). Self-reported time spent cooking and collecting fuelwood was overestimated compared to the observed measured time. Absent rigorous evaluations, stove interventions may be pursued that fail to realize expected carbon reductions or anticipated co-benefits. Carbon financing can help move populations in low-income countries towards cleaner cookstoves by supporting field-proven technologies, and aligning with emerging health and climate guidelines.
L'image éditoriale de Marguerite de Navarre au XVIe siècle ou la construction d'une figure d'auteure : conditions, modalités, enjeux

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This dissertation examines the construction of the authorial figure of Marguerite de Navarre by book producers, such as printers, publishers and editors, in the paratexts to sixteenth-century editions of her works. The term ‘image éditoriale’ is used in this thesis to refer to the manner in which the authorial image is constructed in the editorial or front matter of these early print editions, including dedicatory epistles, prologues, and poems, as well as various strategies and interests that book producers brought to the material imprint of the text, such as title pages, typeface, layout and engravings. The principal objective of this study is thus to present a methodical analysis of these kinds of editorial discourses, bringing to light not only the material and historical conditions of their publication, but also the literary and extraliterary stakes involved in early editions of three of Marguerite de Navarre’s major works: le Miroir de l’âme pécheresse (1531), les Marguerites de la Marguerite des princesses (1547) and the Heptaméron (1558, 1559). Le présent travail consiste dans une étude originale de la construction de l’image éditoriale de Marguerite de Navarre au XVIe siècle. Par ‘image éditoriale’, nous désignons l’image de l’auteure telle qu’elle se construit dans le péritexte éditorial des éditions imprimées de ses oeuvres, c’est-à-dire telle qu’elle prend forme et consistance sous les yeux du public au seuil des textes, dans cet espace du livre qui accueille le discours éditorial. L’objectif premier de cette étude est de mettre au jour les conditions historiques et matérielles et les enjeux littéraires et extralittéraires qui ont sous-tendu le façonnement de l’image éditoriale de cette auteure singulière qu’est Marguerite de Navarre à partir d’une analyse systématique du discours éditorial qui accompagne la publication imprimée de trois de ses oeuvres majeures, à savoir : le Miroir de l’âme pécheresse (Alençon, 1531), les Marguerites de la Marguerite des princesses (Lyon, 1547) et l’Heptaméron (Paris, 1558-1559).

description: We show how to renormalize chiral two pion exchange perturbatively if one pion exchange has already been fully iterated at leading order. This particular choice corresponds to the implementation of the counting proposal of Nogga, Timmermans and van Kolck at subleading orders. We illustrate why the perturbative treatment of the two pion exchange contributions is mandatory in order to avoid certain inconsistencies in Weinberg's counting. In addition, renormalizability implies modifications of the power counting which we explore for the particular case of the singlet channel.

Incrementally Maintaining Classification using an RDBMS

description: The proliferation of imprecise data has motivated both researchers and the database industry to push statistical techniques into relational database management systems (RDBMSs). We study algorithms to maintain model-based views for a popular statistical technique, classification, inside an RDBMS in the presence of updates to the training examples. We make three technical contributions: (1) An algorithm that incrementally maintains classification inside an RDBMS. (2) An analysis of the above algorithm that shows that our algorithm is optimal among all deterministic algorithms (and asymptotically within a factor of 2 of a nondeterministic optimal). (3) An index structure based on the technical ideas that underlie the above algorithm which allows us to store only a fraction of the entities in memory. We apply our techniques to text processing, and we demonstrate that our algorithms provide several orders of magnitude improvement over non-incremental approaches to classification on a variety of data sets: such as the Cora, UCI Machine Learning Repository data sets, Citeseer, and DBLife.

description: We examine the leading order noncommutative corrections to the differential and total cross sections for e+ e- --> q q-bar. After averaging over the earth's rotation, the results depend on the latitude for the collider, as well as the direction of the incoming beam. They also depend on scale and direction of the noncommutativity. Using data from LEP, we exclude regions in the parameter space spanned by the noncommutative scale and angle relative to the earth's axis. We also investigate possible implications for phenomenology at the future International Linear Collider.

description: We present results of 12CO (1--0) and 13CO (1--0) observations of the northeastern spiral arm segment of IC 342 with a ~50pc resolution carried out with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array. Zero-spacing components were recovered by combining with the existing data taken with the Nobeyama 45m telescope. The objective of this study is to investigate the variation of cloud properties across the spiral arm with a resolution comparable to the size of giant molecular clouds (GMCs). The observations cover a 1 kpc times 1.5 kpc region located ~2 kpc away from the galactic center, where a giant molecular association is located at trailing side and associated star forming regions at leading side. The spiral arm segment was resolved into a number of clouds whose size, temperature and surface mass density are comparable to typical GMCs in the Galaxy. Twenty-six clouds were identified from the combined data cube and the identified clouds followed the line width-size relation of the Galactic GMCs. The identified GMCs were divided into two categories according to whether they are associated with star formation activity or not. Comparison between both categories indicated that the active GMCs are more massive, have smaller line width, and are closer to virial equilibrium compared to the quiescent GMCs. These variations of the GMC properties suggest that dissipation of excess kinetic energy of GMC is a required condition for the onset of massive star formation.
