Implementing climate mitigation policy at a subnational level : lessons from British Columbia
Creators: name: Ferris, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Owing to the undifferentiated nature of the atmosphere, the theory of collective action predicts that governments at all levels are unlikely to adopt climate policy that reduces emissions before the adoption of a globally accepted and enforced climate agreement. Yet contrary to this prediction, many subnational governments (local, municipal and regional) throughout North America have implemented climate policies that are reducing GHG emissions. Reviewing the literature assessing the implementation of climate policy at a subnational level, this thesis synthesizes a characterization of the factors understood to motivate the development and adoption of climate policy. These factors include (1) economic costs and benefits resulting from climate policy, (2) the existence of political will or an issue champion to further the policy, (3) the support and pressure from public and interest groups, (4) tangible climate impacts that require action, and (5) an institutional structure and capacity that allows for the implementation of mitigation policy. The thesis then analyzes the case of the development and implementation of mitigation policy in British Columbia (BC), Canada, against this characterization. The findings of this analysis suggest that within the BC context, climate policy decision outcomes can be understood to have been influenced by each of the decision factors identified. The study further finds that as contextual factors changed within the province, the prospects for policy longevity were diminished, which suggests that the contextual factors were necessary in achieving climate policy outcomes. The thesis argues that the characterization of motivation factors can be usefully applied to case examples, and that when each of the motivating factors established within the characterization are present, it is possible to implement politically challenging mitigation policy.

description: We consider the low energy effective field model of graphene monolayer. Coulomb interactions are taken into account. The model is simulated numerically using the lattice discretization with staggered fermions. The two point fermionic Green functions are calculated. We find that in the insulator phase these Green functions almost do not depend on energy. This indicates that the effective field model (in its insulator phase) does not correspond to the real graphene.

description: The institution of wartime pen pals to assist isolated soldiers who were unable to receive mail from their loved ones was made official in 1915. The system, which paired up lonely soldiers with a female pen pal, was a great success. And yet, despite being initially heralded as a sign of the goodness, union and patriotism of French women and their allies, it later came to be seen as immoral – a pretext for flirting with strangers or even a convenient way to be spied on by the enemy.

Subjects: ING-INF/01 Elettronica

description: This paper describes the recent development of GaAs MMICs for wireless communication systems such as the digital cellular phone, the satellite communication system, the local area network and the automatic radar system. The InGaP-emitter heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) for the 1.5-GHz digital cellular phones exhibited the output power of 31dBm at 1.5 GHz with the power-added efficiency of 68.8% and the adjacent channel power (ACP) of - 48 dBc at 50 kHz offset. The GaAs microwave signal processor developed for the 2.5-GHz active phased array antenna aboard the satellite has one thousand circuit-elements which is 100 times higher than conventional MMIC's. The 60-GHz 4-stage buffer-amplifier MMIC newly designed for a cost-effective local area network can offer the |s12|2 of less than-38 dB and the |s21|2 of larger than 17 dB at 60 GHz. The InGaP/ InGaAs/ GaAs HEMT with the 0.15- um gate and the flip chip structure was developed for the 76-GHz automotive radar system. The two-stage amplifier MMIC provides the small-signal gain of 10.6 dB at 76.5 GHz.

description: Scale setting is of central importance in lattice QCD. It is required to predict dimensional quantities in physical units. Moreover, it determines the relative lattice spacings of computations performed at different values of the bare coupling, and this is needed for extrapolating results into the continuum. Thus, we calculate a new quantity, $w_0$, for setting the scale in lattice QCD, which is based on the Wilson flow like the scale $t_0$ (M. Luscher, JHEP 1008 (2010) 071). It is cheap and straightforward to implement and compute. In particular, it does not involve the delicate fitting of correlation functions at asymptotic times. It typically can be determined on the few per-mil level. We compute its continuum extrapolated value in 2+1-flavor QCD for physical and non-physical pion and kaon masses, to allow for mass-independent scale setting even away from the physical mass point. We demonstrate its robustness by computing it with two very different actions (one of them with staggered, the other with Wilson fermions) and by showing that the results agree for physical quark masses in the continuum limit.

Relaxation Methods for Mixed-Integer Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations

description: We consider integer-restricted optimal control of systems governed by abstract semilinear evolution equations. This includes the problem of optimal control design for certain distributed parameter systems endowed with multiple actuators, where the task is to minimize costs associated with the dynamics of the system by choosing, for each instant in time, one of the actuators together with ordinary controls. We consider relaxation techniques that are already used successfully for mixed-integer optimal control of ordinary differential equations. Our analysis yields sufficient conditions such that the optimal value and the optimal state of the relaxed problem can be approximated with arbitrary precision by a control satisfying the integer restrictions. The results are obtained by semigroup theory methods. The approach is constructive and gives rise to a numerical method. We supplement the analysis with numerical experiments.

Developing trust and balancing control : social interactions in work accommodations
Creators: name: Kwan, Hanah C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The return to work (RTW) literature has identified various determinants for successful outcomes for injured workers. Social interactions due to multiple stakeholders within multiple systems have emerged as an important area in need of further investigation. Additionally, the increase use of work accommodations to facilitate early return to work has gained increased focus due to the promising direct and indirect benefits to stakeholders. This study examines the social interactions in the RTW accommodation process from the perspectives of three key stakeholders—the injured worker, the workers’ compensation system and employer representatives—with the aim of developing a middle-range theory grounded in these stakeholders’ perspectives. Interview data from 27 participants (17 workers, 5 employers, 5 insurers) were transcribed and analyzed using constructivist grounded theory method. The resulting theory identified that developing trust and balancing control are interdependent core processes in the RTW accommodation process. Developing trust and balancing control are dynamic processes with opportunities to repair/increase or falter/decrease these core processes among stakeholders. These processes impacted the outcomes and goals of returning the worker to productivity, the satisfaction with the accommodation process, the amount of loss reduction, and claim closure. Study results imply that stakeholders can intervene when trust is not being developed and there is an imbalance of control. The measurement of trust and control in the RTW accommodation process would support the application of study findings. The resulting grounded theory provides a framework for the implementation of successful RTW accommodations

description: Bei Patienten mit Ewingsarkom (ES) werden zunehmend Immuntherapieansätze verfolgt. Kritisch dabei ist das Auffinden immuntherapeutischer Zielstrukturen. Aufgrund eines selektiven Expressionsmusters, erscheinen cancer/testis Antigene (CTA) geeignete Zielstrukturen zu sein. Um neue ES-spezifische CTA zu identifizieren, wurden Microarray-Daten der Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Datenbank analysiert. Der Einfluss des ES-spezifischen Fusionsproteins TET-ETS auf die Expression der CTA wurde in GEO-Datensätzen transgener mesenchymaler Stammzellen untersucht. Ein ES-spezifisches CTA ist die Lipase I. Cytotoxische T-Zellen mit Spezifität für die Epitope LDYTDAKFV und NLLKHGASL konnten HLA-A2 positive ES-Zellen in vitro lysieren.
description: Immunotherapy strategies are pursued in patients with Ewingsacoma (ES). For that reason ES-specific antigens have to be identified as targets for cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Due to the selective expression of cancer/testis antigens (CTA), they are promising targets for immunotherapy. In order to identify new ES-associated CTA, microarray-datasets from ES and normal tissues from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were analyzed. The impact of ES-specific fusion protein TET-ETS on expression of CTA was analyzed using GEO datasets from transgenic mesenchymal stem cells. One CTA with high specificity for ES is lipase I. CTL specific for lipase I-derived peptides LDYTDAKFV and NLLKHGASL were able to lyse HLA-A2 positive ES-cells in vitro which confirms the possible role of CTA in ES-immunotherapy.

description: Load-pull experimental characterisation of active devices under non linear operation is a well proved technique still used in designing power amplifiers. When applied to the MMIC, this technique shall require special solutions to be extended to on-wafer devices up to millimetre waves. The paper presents an overview on the traditional load pull measurement techniques focusing the attention on millimetre wave application. An example of a fully automatic on-wafer system is described along with the more useful calibration techniques. By means of this test set a very detailed characterisation of devices can be carried out in short time, by setting the loads either at the fundamental or at the harmonic frequencies with independent controls.[Abstract]

description: Despite great interest in techniques for stabilizing the dynamics of biological populations and metapopulations, very few practicable methods have been developed. We propose an easily implementable method, Adaptive Limiter Control (ALC), for reducing extinction frequencies and the magnitude of fluctuation in population sizes and demonstrate its efficacy in stabilizing laboratory populations and metapopulations of Drosophila melanogaster. Metapopulation stability was attained through a combination of reduced size fluctuations and synchrony at the subpopulation level. Simulations indicated that ALC was effective over a wide range of maximal population growth rates, migration rates and population dynamics models. Since simulations using widely applicable, nonspecies-specific models of population dynamics were able to capture most features of the experimental data, we expect our results to be applicable to a wide range of species.

description: Using a recently developed thermodynamic integration method, we compute the precise values of the excess Gibbs free energy (G^e) of the high density liquid (HDL) phase with respect to the crystalline phase at different temperatures (T) in the supercooled region of the Stillinger-Weber (SW) silicon [F. H. Stillinger and T. A. Weber, Phys. Rev. B. 32, 5262 (1985)]. Based on the slope of G^e with respect to T, we find that the absolute entropy of the HDL phase increases as its enthalpy changes from the equilibrium value at T \ge 1065 K to the value corresponding to a non-equilibrium state at 1060 K. We find that the volume distribution in the equilibrium HDL phases become progressively broader as the temperature is reduced to 1060 K, exhibiting van-der-Waals (VDW) loop in the pressure-volume curves. Our results provides insight into the thermodynamic cause of the transition from the HDL phase to the low density phases in SW silicon, observed in earlier studies near 1060 K at zero pressure.

description: We have measured the muon flux at the underground Gran Sasso National Laboratory (3800 m w.e.) to be (3.41 \pm 0.01) \times 10-4m-2s-1 using four years of Borexino data. A modulation of this signal is observed with a period of (366\pm3) days and a relative amplitude of (1.29 \pm 0.07)%. The measured phase is (179 \pm 6) days, corresponding to a maximum on the 28th of June. Using the most complete atmospheric data models available, muon rate fluctuations are shown to be positively correlated with atmospheric temperature, with an effective coefficient αT = 0.93 \pm 0.04. This result represents the most precise study of the muon flux modulation for this site and is in good agreement with expectations.

description: We provide a straightforward demonstration of a fundamental difference between classical and quantum mechanics for a single local system; namely the absence of a joint probability distribution of the position $x$ and momentum $p$. Elaborating on a recently reported criterion by Bednorz and Belzig [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 83}, 52113] we derive a simple criterion that must be fulfilled for any joint probability distribution in classical physics. We demonstrate the violation of this criterion using homodyne measurement of a single photon state, thus proving a straightforward signature of the breakdown of a classical description of the underlying state. Most importantly, the criterion used does not rely on quantum mechanics and can thus be used to demonstrate non-classicality of systems not immediately apparent to exhibit quantum behavior. The criterion is directly applicable any system described by the continuous canonical variables x and p, such as a mechanical or an electrical oscillator and a collective spin of a large ensemble.

description: Zebrafish are increasingly used as a vertebrate model organism for developmental and biomedical research. These fish are commonly euthanized at the end of an experiment with an overdose of tricaine methanesulfonate (TMS), but to date little research has assessed if exposure to this or other agents meets the criteria of a “good death”. Clove oil and metomidate hydrochloride are alternatives to TMS and have been approved for use in several countries. The aim of my thesis was to use a conditioned place avoidance paradigm to compare aversion to TMS, metomidate, and clove oil. Zebrafish showed a natural preference for the light environment (in a 900-s trial, they spend 95% of their time in the light compartment); by exposing them to anaesthetics in the light side of a light-dark box we were able to show a difference in preference after exposure. Conditioned place avoidance was less pronounced for fish exposed to metomidate and clove oil than for TMS; fish exposed to the former reduced the time spent in the preferred light side by 131 ± 68 s and 165 ± 97 s, respectively, versus a reduction of 591 ± 88 s for those exposed to the TMS. Complete rejection, where no attempted entries were made into the light side, were recorded after exposure to anaesthetics. Nine of 17 fish exposed to TMS did not re-enter the previously preferred side, versus 2 of 18 fish and 3 of 16 fish for metomidate and clove oil, respectively. These results suggest that the use of metomidate and clove oil are humane alternatives to TMS and should be considered when euthanizing zebrafish.

description: Four new resorcinol derivatives, namely (−)/(+)-xylarinig A (1), as well as xylarinigs B (2) and C (3), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extracts of the solid fermentation of Xylaria nigripes. Their structures were established by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis combined with electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compound 1 is an optical mixture, and was resoluted into optical pure enatiomers (+)-1 and (−)-1 by chiral HPLC. The neuroprotective effects of 1–3 against the damage of PC12 cells induced by oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) were evaluated.

description: We analyze a simple microscopic model to pump heat from a cold to a hot reservoir in a nanomechanical system. The model consists of a one-dimensional chain of masses and springs coupled to a back gate through which a time-dependent perturbation is applied. The action of the gate is to modulate the coupling of the masses to a substrate via additional springs that introduce a moving phononic barrier. We solve the problem numerically using non-equilibrium Green function techniques. For low driving frequencies and for sharp traveling barriers, we show that this microscopic model realizes a phonon refrigerator.

description: This paper describes an original way of dealing with the measuring and modelling of microwave transistor nonlinear behavior. Although generalizations are possible, the method described in this particular paper deals with transistor behavior under a large signal one-tone excitation, with arbitrary impedance terminations for the fundamental and the harmonics. First the mathematical theory of the "nonlinear s-parameters " is described. Next the measurement set-up and the actual extraction of the model parameters is highlighted. Finally the model is implemented in a commercial harmonic balance simulator. Using the simulator, model verification is performed by comparing measured and modelled behavior.

description: Work on the development of transmit/receive (T/R) modules for military and commercial active array applications has been going on in the United States since the 1980s. The major goals were reduced cost, increased power, and improved efficiency. Over the last several years, significant progress has been made in these areas. For the first fifteen years, there were at least six companies aggressively pursuing this technology-both on company funds (i.e., profit dollars), and government contracts. Because of the recent mega-mergers that have occurred in the United States aerospace industry, significantly fewer companies and support are being dedicated to this technology. This paper gives a historical account of T/R module development in the U.S. Initially, it was the military applications that drove the technology, but as time progressed, it became the commercial applications with their higher quantities that ultimately resulted in the current lower cost, high performance modules.
Signatures of very high energy physics in the squeezed limit of the bispectrum (violation of Maldacena's condition)

description: We investigate the signatures in the squeezed limit of the primordial scalar bispectrum due to modifications of the standard theory at high energy. In particular, we consider the cases of modified dispersion relations and/or modified initial quantum state (both in the Boundary Effective Field Theory and in the New Physics Hyper-Surface formulations). Using the in-in formalism we study in details the squeezed limit of the contributions to the bispectrum from all possible cubic couplings in the effective theory of single-field inflation. We find general features such as enhancements and/or non-local shape of the non-Gaussianities, which are relevant, for example, for measurements of the halo bias and which distinguish these scenarios from the standard one (with Bunch-Davies vacuum as initial state and standard kinetic terms). We find that the signatures change according to the magnitude of the scale of new physics, and therefore several pieces of information regarding high energy physics could be obtained in case of detection of these signals, especially bounds on the scales of new physics.

description: In this paper some considerations on different oscillator topologies are presented with the aim of analyzing their behavior in terms of phase noise performance. In particular, our analysis suggests that a 9db improvement in the phase noise level can be obtained when using a “Push-Push” oscillator architecture in comparison with a fundamental-frequency oscillator developed under the same conditions. Simulations of different oscillator topologies, which confirm the proposed theory, are shown in the paper.
Low-mass star formation triggered by early supernova explosions

description: We study the formation of low-mass and extremely metal-poor stars in the early universe. Our study is motivated by the recent discovery of a low-mass (M < 0.8 Msun) and extremely metal-poor (Z <= 4.5 x 10^{-5} Zsun) star in the Galactic halo by Caffau et al. We propose a model that early supernova (SN) explosions trigger the formation of low-mass stars via shell fragmentation. We first perform one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the evolution of an early SN remnant. We show that the shocked shell undergoes efficient radiative cooling and then becomes gravitationally unstable to fragment and collapse in about ten million years. We then follow the thermal evolution of the collapsing fragments using a one-zone code. Our one-zone calculation treats chemistry and radiative cooling self-consistently in low-metallicity gas. The collapsing gas cloud evolves roughly isothermally, until it cools rapidly by dust continuum emission at the density 10^{13}-10^{14} /cc. The cloud core then becomes thermally and gravitationally unstable and fragments. We argue that early SNe can trigger the formation of low-mass stars in the extremely metal-poor environment as Caffau et al. discovered recently.

description: Properties of Xe isotopes isotopes are studied in the U(5)O(6) transitional region of Interacting Boson Model (IBM-1). The energy levels and B(E2)transition rates are calculated via the affine SU(1,1)Lie Algebra. The agreement with the most recent experimental is acceptable. The evaluated Hamiltonian control parameters suggest a spherical to (/gamma)-soft shape transition and propose the Xe(A=130)nucleus as the best candidate for the E(5)symmetry.

description: Variable attenuator circuits are essential system blocks in millimetre wave radio links. Two novel variable attenuator MMICs have been realized and tested: One with continuous i.e. analog control (VVA) and the other with three bit digital control (DA). Circuits operate in a very broad frequency range of 15 GHz – 45 GHz and they have been fabricated with commercially available GaAs pHEMT processes: VVA utilizing OMMIC 0.2 µm process and DA with TriQuint 0.25 µm process. The digital attenuator circuit reached an input 1 dB compression (or expansion) point of + 16 dBm at all attenuation states and an extremely low minimum insertion loss of 0.9 dB at 15 GHz and 2.5 dB at 45GHz. The dynamic range of attenuation was 35 dB at 40 GHz. The input 1 dB compression point of the voltage variable attenuator circuit was better than + 13 dBm at all levels of attenuation.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit ist der Untersuchung der Eigenschaften der stochastischen Navier-Stokes-Gleichung gewidmet: Es werden Existenz- und Eindeutigkeitssätze für die Lösung bewiesen, eine lineare Approximationsmethode angegeben sowie Aussagen zur optimalen Steuerung der Gleichung bezüglich des Einflusses der äußeren Kräfte hergeleitet. Es wird die Existenz von optimalen Steuerungen bewiesen, wobei die Kompaktheitseigenschaft der Menge der zulässigen Steuerungen nicht vorausgesetzt werden muß. Eine notwendige Optimalitätsbedingung für das Problem der optimalen Steuerung wird in Form eines stochastischen Minimumprinzips hergeleitet. Um die Aussagen für das Steuerproblem abzurunden, wurde die Bellmansche Funktionalgleichung hergeleitet.
description: The aim of this dissertation is to prove the existence of the strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equation by approximating it by means of the Galerkin method, i.e., by a sequence of solutions of finite dimensional evolution equations. The Galerkin method involves solving nonlinear equations and often it is difficult to deal with them. For this reason we approximate the solution of the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation by the solutions of a sequence of linear stochastic evolution equations. Another interesting aspect of the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation is to study the behavior of the flow if we act upon the fluid through various external forces. We address the issue of the existence of an optimal action upon the system in order to minimize a given cost functional. We also derive a stochastic minimum principle and investigate Bellman's equation for the considered control problem.

description: Under the assumption of the Riemann Hypothesis, the Linear Independence Hypothesis, and a bound on negative discrete moments of the Riemann zeta function, we prove the existence of a limiting logarithmic distribution of the normalisation of the weighted sum of the Liouville function, $L_α(x) = \sum_{n \leq x}{λ(n) / n^α}$, for $0 \leq α< 1/2$. Using this, we conditionally show that these weighted sums have a negative bias, but that for each $0 \leq α< 1/2$, the set of all $x \geq 1$ for which $L_α(x)$ is positive has positive logarithmic density. For $α= 0$, this gives a conditional proof that the set of counterexamples to Pólya's conjecture has positive logarithmic density. Finally, when $α= 1/2$, we conditionally prove that $L_α(x)$ is negative outside a set of logarithmic density zero, thereby lending support to a conjecture of Mossinghoff and Trudgian that this weighted sum is nonpositive for all $x \geq 17$.
