description: Although it has long been known that the proper quantum field theory description of critical percolation involves a logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT), no direct consequence of this has been observed so far. Representing critical bond percolation as the Q = 1 limit of the Q-state Potts model, and analyzing the underlying S_Q symmetry of the Potts spins, we identify a class of simple observables whose two-point functions scale logarithmically for Q = 1. The logarithm originates from the mixing of the energy operator with a logarithmic partner that we identify as the field that creates two propagating clusters. In d=2 dimensions this agrees with general LCFT results, and in particular the universal prefactor of the logarithm can be computed exactly. We confirm its numerical value by extensive Monte-Carlo simulations.

description: A first-principle study of the collective oscillation spectrum of a strongly correlated one-component plasma in a strong magnetic field is presented. The spectrum consists of six fundamental modes which are found to be in good agreement with results from the Quasi-Localized Charge approximation. At high frequencies additional modes are observed that include Bernstein-type oscillations and their transverse counterparts which are of importance for the high-frequency optical and transport properties of these plasmas.
Mathematical modelling of gas and gas-liquid jets injected into a fluidized bed
Creators: name: Pougatch, Konstantin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis presents the development of novel mathematical models of jet injection into fluidized beds. Two types of injections are considered: the first is gas-assisted liquid atomization including flow through a variable cross-section nozzle, followed by spray dispersion and interaction with fluidized bed particles (jet-bed interaction), and the second is a high speed injection of a gas jet with a purpose to break down solid particles (particle attrition). Both models are based on a multi-fluid Eulerian-Eulerian treatment and include the system of the ensemble-averaged Navier-Stokes equations together with the particle number density equation for each phase written independently of the local nature of the continuous phase. The models rely on a number of sub-models that form constitutive equations. Some of the sub-models, such as ones used for atomization, moisture and heat transport in a bed due to particle collisions, heat conduction through the particle core, multiphase wall functions, and breakage frequency, are developed during the course of this project. The jet-bed interaction model includes break-up and coalescence of bubbles and droplets due to interfacial (mean and turbulent) shear and collisions in order to account for spatial variations of the average diameters. Atomization is considered as a catastrophic phase inversion triggered by a critical local volume fraction. The jet-bed interaction model is applied to gas-liquid flow through a nozzle, spray dispersion in open air, and spray injection into the bed. Modelling results are compared with experimental data for pressure variation along the nozzle wall, radial profiles of the liquid flow rate and average droplet diameter, and cumulative liquid distribution in a fluidized bed. It is demonstrated that there is an overall satisfactory agreement. The particle attrition model connects the solid phase properties and the granular temperature with the breakage rate. Modelling results allow calculation of the grinding efficiency – a quantitative measure of the attrition performance. For validation purposes, the model is applied to a number of cases that have been previously investigated experimentally with a good agreement. Both models are also applied to cases of practical interest, and a detailed flow analysis is conducted.

description: MINIMALIST is a new extensible environment for the synthesis and verification of burst-mode asynchronous finite-state machines. MINIMALIST embodies a complete technology-independent synthesis path, with state-of-the-art exact and heuristic asynchronous synthesis algorithms, e.g.optimal state assignment (CHASM), two-level hazard-free logic minimization (HFMIN, ESPRESSO-HF, and IMPYMIN), and synthesis-for-testability. Unlike other asynchronous synthesis packages, MINIMALIST also offers many options:literal vs. product optimization, single- vs. multi-output logic minimization, using vs. not using fed-back outputs as state variables, and exploring varied code lengths during state assignment, thus allowing the designer to explore trade-offs and select the implementation style which best suits the application. MINIMALIST benchmark results demonstrate its ability to produce implementations with an average of 34% and up to 48% less area, and an average of 11% and up to 37% better performance, than the best existing package. Our synthesis-for-testability method guarantees 100% testability under both stuck-at and robust path delay fault models,requiring little or no overhead. MINIMALIST also features both command-line and graphic user interfaces, and supports extension via well-defined interfaces for adding new tools. As such, it is easily augmented to form a complete path to technology-dependent logic.

Photocatalysis for waste gas treatment: kinetics and fluidized bed reactor modeling
Creators: name: Karimi Golpayegani, Mojgan
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2008

description: Bibliography: p. 83-89
description: Some pages are in colour.
description: The focus of this study is on photocatalysis as a technique for waste gas treatment. In order to have a better understanding of the mechanism of photocatalysis and to solve the deficiencies of previously suggested kinetic models, a model is developed which considers the important role of charge trapping. The proposed kinetic model has a realistic description of the reaction pathways for degradation of trichloroethylene (TCE), an environmentally relevant volatile organic compound (VOC). Moreover, the performance of various kinetic and hydrodynamic models is examined for TCE photocatalysis in fluidized bed reactors (FBR). For the hydrodynamic sub-model, the generalized bubbling/turbulent (GBT) and sequential modular approach are used. The reaction sub-model is performed with some simple kinetic models like 1st order, Langmuir-Hinshelwood, Langmuir-Hinshelwood with UV consideration as well as the more complex ones like Demeestere kinetic model. A modification method, as a tune factor, is proposed to adjust the kinetic parameters for the photocatalytic reactions in an FBR where a larger fraction of the catalyst is illuminated in comparison with fixed bed operation. The results indicate that both hydrodynamic models can give fair agreement with the experimental data when coupled with modified Demeestere kinetic model. Although both hydrodynamic models fail to predict the measured data when combined with simpler kinetic models, GBT can return more reasonable values than the modular approach. Furthermore, GBT together with modified Demeestere kinetic model provides good predictions in a circulating FBR which operates at higher range of gas velocities.

description: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an important immunosuppressive drug widely used post- transplantation, but whose use is often limited by gastrointestinal (GI) side effects including diarrhea, weight loss and colitis. The etiology of this GI toxicity has not been fully explained although we have shown in the mouse that an intact microbiome is required. This thesis developed and tested a potential mechanism, hypothesizing that bacterial conversion of the MMF metabolite mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG) to mycophenolic acid (MPA) in the colon is responsible for the GI toxicity caused by MMF. Vancomycin both prevented and reversed MMF- induced GI toxicity and we characterized its effect on the intestinal microbiota in MMF-treated mice. Vancomycin eliminated many β-glucuronidase-producing bacteria, resulting in decreased hydrolysis of MPAG to MPA that was also associated with decreased weight loss and reduced colonic inflammation and injury. These findings outline a mechanism permitting interventions to improve MMF tolerance.

description: We describe a method of using statistically-collected Chinese character groups from a corpus to augment a Chinese dictionary. The method is particularly useful for extracting domain specific and regional words not readily available in machine-readable dictionaries. Output was evaluated both using human evaluators and against a previously available dictionary. We also evaluated performance improvement in automatic Chinese tokenization. Results show that our method outputs legitimate words, acronymic constructions, idioms, names and titles, as well as technical compounds, many of which were lacking from the original dictionary.

Starting from Bianchi-type I cosmology and through analytic and numeric studies we demonstrate that the isotropic FLRW inflation is an attractor of the dynamics of the theory and that the anisotropies are damped within a few e-folds, in accord with the cosmic no-hair conjecture.

description: The implications of the family non-universal $Z^\prime$ model in the $B\to K_{1}(1270,1400)\ell^{+}\ell^{-}(\ell=e\,,μ\,,τ)$ decays are explored, where the mass eigenstates $K_{1}(1270,1400)$ are the mixtures of $^{1}{P}_{1}$ and $^{3}{P}_{1}$ states with the mixing angle $θ$. In this work, considering the $Z^\prime$ boson and setting the mixing angle $θ=(-34\pm13)^{\circ}$, we analyze the branching ratio, the dilepton invariant mass spectrum, the normalized forward-backward asymmetry and lepton polarization asymmetries of each decay mode. We find that all observables of $B\to K_{1}(1270)μ^{+}μ^{-}$ are sensitive to the $Z^{\prime}$ contribution. Moreover, the observables of $B\to K_{1}(1400)μ^{+}μ^{-}$ are relatively strong $θ$-dependence; thus, the $Z^{\prime}$ contribution will be buried by the uncertainty of the mixing angle $θ$. Furthermore, the zero crossing position in the FBA spectrum of $B\to K_{1}(1270)μ^{+}μ^{-}$ at low dilepton mass will move to the positive direction with $Z^\prime$ contribution. For the tau modes, the effects of $Z^\prime$ are not remarkable due to the small phase space. These results could be tested in the running LHC-b experiment and Super-B factory.

description: We describe the solution of a two dimensional recurrence used to compute the secondary structure of RNA. A naive dynamic programming solution to this recurrence takes time O (n4); this time had previously been improved to O (n3). Our new algorithm makes use of the convexity of the energy functions for RNA secondary structure to reduce the time to O(n2 1og2 n). When the energy function is modeled by logarithms or other simple functions we solve the recurrence in time O(n2Iognloglogn). Our algorithms are simple and practical.

description: Protein is an indispensable part of life. It provides nutrition for human body and flavor for food. The role of protein depends largely on the functional properties of the protein. Therefore, the elucidation of protein structure and functional properties needs to be further explored. The effects of structural and functional properties of proteins under different ultrasonic treatment conditions were reviewed. The structural changes of protein were studied by hydrogen–deuterium exchange mass spectrometry combined with fluorescence spectrometry and proteomics, and the mechanism of action was determined. The glycation site, the glycation degree, and the glycation characteristics of different sugars were determined. The protein was modified by ultrasound, and the influence of protein structure, physicochemical properties, protein glycation characteristics, and the action mechanism were analyzed by biological mass spectrometry.
Replica Control in Distributed Systems: An Asynchronous Approach
Creators: name: Pu, Calton
name: Leff, Avraham
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1990
Subjects: Computer science

description: An asynchronous approach is proposed for replica control in distributed systems. This approach applies an extension of serializability called epsilon-serializability (ESR), a correctness criterion which allows temporary and bounded inconsistency in replicas to be seen by queries. Moreover, users can reduce the degree of inconsistency to the desired amount. In the limit, users see strict 1-copy serializability. Because the system maintains ESR correctness (1) replicas always converges to global serializability and (2) the system permits read access to object replicas before the system reaches a quiescent state. Various replica control methods that maintain ESR are described and analyzed. Because these methods do not require users to refer explicitly to ESR criteria, they can be easily encapsulated in high-level applications that use replicated data.

description: The strong-interaction shift of kaonic 3He and 4He 2p states was measured using gaseous targets for the first time in the SIDDHARTA experiment. The determined shift of kaonic 4He is much smaller than the values obtained in the experiments performed in 70's and 80's. Thus, the problems in kaonic helium (the "kaonic helium puzzle") was definitely solved by our measurements. The first observation of the kaonic 3He X-rays was also achieved. The shift both of kaonic 3He and 4He was found to be as small as a few eV.

Natural Gas Foam Stabilization by a Mixture of Oppositely Charged Nanoparticle and Surfactant and the Underlying Mechanisms

description: This study investigates the adsorption of sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate surfactant (AES) on oppositely charged alumina-coated silica nanoparticle (SNOWTEX-AK), then the influence of surfactant and nanoparticle concentration on the stability of methane foam is described. It is found that the affinity of nanoparticle for the gas-liquid interface is strongly affected by the adsorption of surfactant on the surface of nanoparticles. Five adsorption stages, which are described in terms of the extent and type of surfactant coverage of the nanoparticles, explain the behavior of the solution at different surfactant/nanoparticle ratios. The most stable foam was found at small surfactant/nanoparticle ratios, at which the particles are partially covered with surfactants and have smaller aggregate size. For the surfactant concentration around CMC, the foam half-life at this synergistic concentration ratio range was found at least two times more than that of the foam stabilized solely by surfactants. The findings from this study provide a better understanding of the interaction between oppositely charged nanoparticle/surfactant pairs and how that interaction affects the foam stability.
Effecting Runtime Reconfiguration in Managed Execution Environments

description: Managed execution environments such as MicrosoftÃ¤Ã³Â»s Common Language Runtime (CLR) and Sun MicrosystemsÃ¤Ã³Â» Java Virtual Machine (JVM) provide a number of services Ã¤Ã³Ã± including but not limited to application isolation, security sandboxing, garbage collection and structured exception handling Ã¤Ã³Ã± that are aimed primarily at enhancing the robustness of managed applications. However, none of these services directly enables performing reconfigurations, repairs or diagnostics on the managed applications and/or its constituent subsystems and components. In this paper we examine how the facilities of a managed execution environment can be leveraged to support runtime system adaptations, such as reconfigurations and repairs. We describe an adaptation framework we have developed, which uses these facilities to dynamically attach/detach an engine capable of performing reconfigurations and repairs on a target system while it executes. Our adaptation framework is lightweight, and transparent to the application and the managed execution environment: it does not require recompilation of the application nor specially compiled versions of the managed execution runtime. Our prototype was implemented for the CLR. To evaluate our framework beyond toy examples, we searched on SourceForge for potential target systems already implemented on the CLR that might benefit from runtime adaptation. We report on our experience using our prototype to effect runtime reconfigurations in a system that was developed and is in use by others: the Alchemi enterprise Grid Computing System developed at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
Transformation of iron sulfide by oil field microorganisms and their inhibition by sulfur/polysulfide
Creators: name: Lin, Shiping
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2008

description: Bibliography: p. 101-106
description: Iron sulfide (FeS) causes problems in oil reservoirs. Nitrate reducing-sulfide oxidizing bacteria (NR-SOB) cannot remove precipitated FeS, though they are able to utilize dissolved sulfide. However, nitrite, the product of NR-SOB can promote the transformation of FeS to greigite (Fe3S4) with the help of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). The role of SRB in this transformation is to convert amorphous FeS to tetragonal FeS, mackinawite. Nitrite chemically reacts with sulfide, the product of SRB to form sulfur/polysulfide, which then works as a weak oxidant to transform mackinawite to greigite. In addition, sulfur/polysulfide, the reaction product of nitrite with sulfide is an inhibitor of SRB growth, but not all SRB are inhibited by sulfur/polysulfide. The hep] and hcp2 genes, which encode hybrid cluster proteins, are involved in the metabolism of sulfur/polysulfide. SRB with these genes are able to overcome the inhibition from sulfur/polysulfide, whereas mutant strains lacking these genes are more severely inhibited.

description: This study explores the results of acknowledging philosophical and theoretical biases when undertaking a landscape archaeological investigation of movement by past people through one of the warmest and driest regions in the province of Alberta - the edges of the Red Deer River valley and adjoining coulees. Models of movement through the environment that reflect actual avenues of travel rather than just gross movement patterns of people are constructed employing Geographic Information Systems techniques. Prior to addressing the specifics of that movement, however, the current study explores the nature of reality, placing the research within a realist philosophical perspective, and examines the implications of acknowledging that objectivity in archaeology is but a myth. It also details some key concepts critical to understanding a landscape archaeological approach: space, place, and environment. By employing a Newtonian conception of space it draws from objectivist landscape archaeological techniques while, by defining place as wholly dependent upon human perception, simultaneously embraces subjectivist landscape archaeological views. The study thus attempts to bridge some of the divisions separating objectivist and subjectivist landscape archaeological approaches. Two seasons of field work led to the discovery and recording of close to 1,000 cobble features, comprised of rings, cairns, medicine wheels, and numerous other feature types. Recognizing the relational affordances active between past people and the environment enabled the identification of past significant places, revealed by the lasting imprints left by past place making activities, and the GIS modelling of probable past pedestrian routes through the study area. Such modeling uncovered past travel patterns that led to the locating of a previously unrecognized river crossing and illustrated the critical role place occupies in archaeological investigations. Additionally, the acknowledged importance of visibility was employed to identify possible physical locations of an as yet unknown medicine wheel. This study revealed that, while we exist within a world limited to biased perceptions of reality, when archaeologists acknowledge the existence of such perceptive biases they can subvert much of the negative effect caused by the inability to achieve true objectivity and uncover richer, more satisfying, pictures of the past.
Mechanistic modelling of windthrow in spatially complex mixed species stands in British Columbia

description: Windthrow is a common problem in forest management that can be predicted or simulated with the use of modelling tools. A hybrid mechanistic model, WindFIRM/ForestGALES_BC, was developed to quantify component windthrow processes for individual trees in heterogeneous stands and in variable retention harvesting scenarios. Harvesting scenarios can have complex shapes, sizes and distributions of cutblock openings and within cutblock retention of aggregated and individual trees. This model accounts for irregular openings and stand characteristics and is able to simulate the propagation of windthrow during storm events. It is also sensitive to wind direction which is evident from spatial outputs of model simulations. WindFIRM/ForestGALES_BC was also successfully integrated with a growth and yield model, TASS (Tree and Stand Simulator), to quantify the effects of openings created by windthrow on stand yields. The flexibility of WindFIRM/ForestGALES_BC to substitute trees and modify crowns in spatial tree lists is demonstrated and a validation of the model was completed using field data from the STEMS (Silvicultural Treatments for Ecosystem Management in the Sayward) research installation on Vancouver Island. The results of the non-parametric tests show that the pattern of simulated windthrow through size classes is consistent with field plot data. However, contingency tables indicate that the model underestimates windthrow which is due to some suspected and unknown causes. The cumulative proportion of modelled windthrow has a consistent pattern with the cumulative proportion of actual windthrow from the field data. The advances in WindFIRM/ForestGALES_BC make it a useful platform to integrate other process models (e.g. large woody debris recruitment in streams) and incorporate new functions obtained in future research. It will also serve as a good framework to guide data collection needs and priorities (e.g. high resolution wind data and simulation, soils and complex topography) related to the understanding of windthrow processes. Further refinements related to the effects of wind on tree stability in complex terrain, soils and tree sway dynamics will improve the model as a predictive tool. This will allow forest managers to simulate a range of scenarios to identify block and retention layouts, locations and individual tree characteristics that pose the highest windthrow risk.

description: We study, in the framework of open quantum systems, the geometric phase acquired by a uniformly accelerated two-level atom undergoing nonunitary evolution due to its coupling to a bath of fluctuating vacuum electromagnetic fields in the multipolar scheme. We find that the phase variation due to the acceleration can be in principle observed via atomic interferometry between the accelerated atom and the inertial one, thus providing an evidence of the Unruh effect.

description: We consider dynamic programming solutions to a number of different recurrences for sequence comparison and for RNA secondary structure prediction. These recurrences are defined over a number of points that is quadratic in the input size; however only a sparse set matters for the result. We give efficient algorithms for these problems, when the weight functions used in the recurrences are taken to be linear. Our algorithms reduce the best known bounds by a factor almost linear in the density of the problems: when the problems are sparse this results in a substantial speed-up.

description: Reengineering a large code base can be a monumental task, and the situation becomes even worse if the code is concomitantly being modified. For the past two years, we have been using the Marvel process centered environment (PCE) for all of our software development and are currently using it to develop the Oz PCE (Marvel's successor). Towards this effort, we are reengineering Oz's code base to isolate the process engine, transaction manager, and object management system as separate components that can be mixed and matched in arbitrary systems. In this paper, we show how a PCE can guide and assist teams of users in carrying out code reengineering while allowing them to continue their normal code development. The key features to this approach are its incremental nature and the ability of the PCE to automate most of the tasks necessary to maintain the consistency of the code base.

description: We present results of the application of the anisotropic hydrodynamics (aHydro) framework to (2+1)-dimensional boost invariant systems. The necessary aHydro dynamical equations are derived by taking moments of the Boltzmann equation using a momentum-space anisotropic one-particle distribution function. We present a derivation of the necessary equations and then proceed to numerical solutions of the resulting partial differential equations using both realistic smooth Glauber initial conditions and fluctuating Monte-Carlo Glauber initial conditions. For this purpose we have developed two numerical implementations: one which is based on straightforward integration of the resulting partial differential equations supplemented by a two-dimensional weighted Lax-Friedrichs smoothing in the case of fluctuating initial conditions; and another that is based on the application of the Kurganov-Tadmor central scheme. For our final results we compute the collective flow of the matter via the lab-frame energy-momentum tensor eccentricity as a function of the assumed shear viscosity to entropy ratio, proper time, and impact parameter.

description: Peripheral nerve and spinal cord injuries are debilitating, leading to lifelong complications and reduced quality of life. Cellular therapies have demonstrated beneficial outcomes when treating these injuries especially when using Schwann cells. However, there is currently no robust and reproducible method for producing Schwann cells at clinical scale. Bioprocesses that use bioreactors have significant advantages when scaling-up cellular therapies. Therefore, the research in this thesis was done to address this gap and develop methods, tools, and protocols to create a bioprocess for the large-scale expansion of Schwann cells. The hydrodynamics of the bioreactor were investigated by using CFD modeling, comparing velocity, shear rate, and energy dissipation rate at different agitation rates and their effect on cell expansion. The model that was generated can be used to scale up processes to larger, clinical and manufacturing scale, bioreactors. Upstream and downstream unit operations were then developed. Commercially available microcarriers were evaluated and tested in bioreactors to find the microcarrier that supported both inoculation and expansion of SKP-SCs. Different bioreactor platforms were evaluated, showing that controlling the process parameters increased cell densities. An in-depth DOE was conducted to find the best inoculation conditions, investigating which parameters had significant effects on cell attachment, distribution, and expansion. Detachment of SKP-SCs from microcarriers was investigated with different enzymes and agitation rates to develop an in-vessel passaging protocol that can easily be scale-up. After harvest, cryopreservation medium and cell density were investigated to ensure a quality product can be frozen and delivered to the patient. After the process was developed, 3 rat lines and 1 human line were tested. The process was reproducible and robust and easily adapted to human cells. Additional development is needed to use this process for nerve derived Schwann cells. This process was then integrated together and 150 x106 cells were produced from 3x106 in 7 days. Lastly, the expansion design space was investigated to determine the effects of pH, DO, and agitation on the expansion of SKP-SCs. All the tools and methods developed in this thesis can easily be adapted to nearly any bioprocess that utilize bioreactors for cellular therapies.
Analysis of Transaction Management Performance

Subjects: Computer science

description: There is currently much interest in incorporating transactions into both operating systems and general purpose programming languages. This paper provides a detailed examination of the design and performance of the“¢ transaction manager of the Camelot system. Camelot is a transaction facility that provides a rich model of transactions intended to support a wide variety of general-purpose applications. The transaction manager's principal function is to execute the protocols that ensure atomicity. The conclusions of this study are: a simple optimization to two-phase commit reduces logging activity of distributed transactions; non-blocking commit is practical for some applications; multithreaded design improves throughput provided that log batching is used; multi-casting reduces the variance of distributed commit protocols in a LAN environment; and the performance of transaction mechanisms such as Camelot depend heavily upon kernel performance.

description: This paper is a survey of the techniques used to take into account the influence of situation in Natural Language (NL) systems. A model of the influence of situation on language use will provide a coherent interaction between a program and its users. We propose a classification in three types of the characteristics of situation according to the way they affect language use: linguistic, semantic and pragmatic, and we study the different techniques developed for each of them. We also contrast these techniques to linguistic theories dealing with the issue.
