description: The objective of this thesis was to design and explore the implementation of an indoor positioning and tracking technique that was low in cost, relying on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors, and to integrate it into the Society of Devices Toolkit (SoD-Toolkit) developed at the Agile Surface Engineering lab at the University of Calgary. The resulting system maintains a database of all tracked and untracked users, and uses the signal strengths of pre-positioned BLE beacons to estimate the user's location in an indoor environment. Through an evaluation of the proposed technique, we observed an accuracy of approximately 0.86 meters when a user's average distance to each Bluetooth beacon was less than 1.5 meters. The technique was, also, successful in achieving an 80% tracking accuracy across disjoint tracked spaces when the user density in the space is kept below 0.17 users per square meter, suggesting it could prove to be a practical alternative and/or complement to existing indoor positioning systems.

description: We use the IRS on Spitzer to observe the southern part of the reflection nebula NGC 2023, including the Southern Ridge, which is a photodissociation region par excellence excited by HD 37903. Five pure-rotational H2 emission lines are detected and mapped over and around the Southern Ridge in order to compare with predicted level column densities from theoretical PDR models. We find very good agreement between PDR model predictions and emission line intensities and ratios measured with Spitzer, leading us to conclude that grain photoelectric heating sufficiently warms the gas to produce the observed H2 line emission via collisional excitation. On the Southern Ridge, we infer a hydrogen nucleus density n_H approx 2x10^5 cm^-3 and radiation field strength χ approx 10^4 relative to the local Galactic interstellar radiation field. This high value for χ independently predicts a distance toward HD 37903 of 300 pc, and is consistent with the most recent HIPPARCOS results. Over the map we find that both n_H and χ vary by a factor of sim 3. Such 2-D variations provide clues about the underlying 3-D structure of the Southern Ridge field, which appears to be the tip of a molecular cloud. We also map variations in excitation temperature and the ortho-to-para ratio, the latter attaining values of sim 1.5---2.0 on the Southern Ridge, and find that PDR modeling can readily reproduce observed ortho-to-para ratios that are < 3 for rotational excitation dominated by collisional processes. Last, the stars Sellgren C and G are discovered to be resolved on archival HST images into two point sources each, with separations of lesssim 0.5".

description: We consider triadic nonlinear interaction in the Navier-Stokes equation for quasi-geostrophic convection in a spherical shell. This approach helps understanding the origin of kinetic energy transport in the system and the particular scheme of mode interaction, as well as the locality of the energy transfer. The peculiarity of convection in the sphere, concerned with excitation of Rossby waves, is considered. The obtained results are compared with our previous study in Cartesian geometry.

A Novel Urine Evaporation and Collection System for Dry Toilets
Creators: name: Bethune, David
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2015
Subjects: Engineering--Environmental

description: A Urine Evaporation System (UES) that evaporates human urine and collects the nutrient-rich dry product from a urine-diverting dry toilet at backcountry or rural locations was designed and tested in the laboratory and field. The UES consists of vertically stacked plastic cafeteria-style trays with a thin layer of sand on the bottom of each tray. The trays provide an evaporation surface and allow collection of the solid product remaining after evaporation. The sand prevents the solid product from sticking to the bottom of the trays. The trays are held on tracks cut into the inside of a wood or Plexiglas box. The initial laboratory experiment (Chapter 2) consisted of evaporating urine supplied at a constant rate by a peristaltic pump. The evaporation process produced a dark, highly saline, brine solution before drying to a solid product. The solid product had low odour and was mostly comprised of K, Na, Cl, P and N. About 90% of the ammonia was lost during the evaporation process (primarily by volatilization). In the second laboratory experiment (Chapter 3), the UES was improved to enhance airflow across the surface of each tray by constructing a wooden box with a fan. Five litres per day (output of approx. 4 persons per day) was input to the UES at the same time each day until the first trays were entirely full of solid product (65 days). During the experiment, increasingly oxidizing conditions were measured in the evaporating urine brine. The solid products in the stack of trays had a physical and chemical zonation characterized by leaching of solids in the upper trays and accumulation in the lower trays. The majority of N remained in the stable, organic form associated with organic carbon and approximately 35% of the ammonia nitrogen was lost due to volatilization. Oxidizing conditions favoured more stable mineralized forms of nitrogen and sulphur. A prototype passive field UES was designed and constructed and field-tested in a semi-arid temperate climate (Chapter 4). The UES consisted of a Plexiglas® box vented by a black metal chimney. The average evaporation rate over the study period was 3.2 L/day (0.66 mm) with monthly amounts of 117 L (24.3 mm) for August and 76 L (15.8 mm) for September. A multiple-regression analysis indicates that continuously running of the UES from April 1 to Oct 31 (when daytime temperatures in Calgary are consistently above freezing) would have evaporated a total of almost 1000 L (204 mm) of municipal water. A multiple-regression analysis indicated that the evaporation rate could be explained by changes in air temperature, wind speed and incoming solar radiation. The UES design and operation can be optimized according to the user’s desire to maximize evaporation, minimize O&M, minimize costs or maximize fertilizer collection.

description: This archive contains a set of mappings in X3ML format between a number of metadata record schemes and CERIF RDF (based on CERIF 1.6). These mapping files were created during the EU Horizon 2020 VRE4EIC project as part of the development of a joint catalogue for resources hosted by various European research infrastructures serving the environmental and earth sciences. The following source metadata schemes are supported: Dublin Core DCAT-AP EPOS DCAT-AP (extension of DCAT-AP used within the EPOS research infrastructure) ISO 19139 OIL-E (Open Information Linking for Environmental research infrastructures) The scheme used by EUDAT's B2FIND service (based on CKAN) The scheme used within the D4Science platform (based on CKAN) In addition, test mappings have been developed for the transformation of RBAC data, WADL specifications, and WSDL (both 1.1 and 2.0), transformation of CERIF and VRE4EIC classification schemes into CERIF RDF, and generation of additional provenance data for data originating from EPOS or the ENVRI environmental research infrastructure cluster. To make use of these mappings, it is necessary to have a means of interpreting X3ML documents. See: https://github.com/isl/x3ml To directly view and edit these mappings, as well as to test them, it is best to use the 3M editor (which interprets X3ML). See: https://github.com/isl/Mapping-Memory-Manager 3M can be set up and run as an online service in Apache Tomcat (version 8 or higher). These mappings are provided to interested parties who wish to replicate or build upon the metadata mapping activity of the VRE4EIC project, or wish to import metadata records from external sources into a single RDF triple store structured according to the CERIF 1.6 standard. They represent the best state of mappings as of the end of the VRE4EIC project, in October 2018, but are provided as-is, with no assertion of completeness, soundness or fitness-for-purpose out of the box.

description: At the end of the fifth century BCE, Cyrus the Younger, son of the Achaemenid king Darius II, decided to challenge his older brother for the throne. Several famous Greek writers described this revolt, and some aspects (such as the battle of Cunaxa) have been frequently studied by scholars. This study uses the revolt of Cyrus as a case study in how Persian armies were raised, organized, and supplied. Beginning with the historical background, it considers the resources which Cyrus had available, how Cyrus used those resources to raise an army, and what happened to this army as it marched east. It uses demographic history, prosopography, and comparative evidence to fill out the Greek and Latin sources. These different forms of evidence suggest that raising an army and marching it to Babylon was no simple process.

description: The turbulent wake of wall-mounted finite bluff bodies is a heuristic model for the study of large-scale coherent structures and vortex dynamics processes. This thesis presents: (i) a methodology for educing the topology of coherent structures from planar velocity data and simultaneous wall pressure, and (ii) a quantitative analysis for the energetic interactions between the scales of motions, in the non-homogeneous turbulent wake. The proposed methodology addresses the shortcomings of the traditional phase averaging approach in capturing the non-harmonic contributions to account for the cycle-to-cycle variations of the coherent fluctuations. The Extended Proper Orthogonal Decomposition technique is modified to incorporate the maximum pressure-velocity correlations by taking into account the pressure sensor time history. The method is used to construct the three-dimensional coherent fluctuations and the global modes in the highly modulated turbulent wake, for which a Galerkin-based energy flow analysis is subsequently conducted. The results are used to identify the sequence and direction of the energy transfer among dominant fluctuating scales. The transitional states are characterized with sequential energetic interactions of the unstable harmonic pair with higher harmonics and a non-oscillatory mode representing base flow variations. It is found that the couplings of the unstable harmonic pair and the non-oscillatory mode are described through the mean-field manifold approximation.

description: We use monopole Floer homology for sutured manifolds to construct invariants of Legendrian knots in a contact 3-manifold. These invariants assign to a knot K in Y elements of the monopole knot homology KHM(-Y,K), and they strongly resemble the knot Floer homology invariants of Lisca, Ozsváth, Stipsicz, and Szabó. We prove several vanishing results, investigate their behavior under contact surgeries, and use this to construct many examples of non-loose knots in overtwisted 3-manifolds. We also show that these invariants are functorial with respect to Lagrangian concordance.

description: This study explored how people make moral judgments about individuals who display behavioral symptoms of mental illness. Two processes underlie moral judgment: intuitions about what is right and wrong and the application of moral rules in action. In this study, I focused on intuitions about utilitarian moral judgment by asking participants to rate both how right and how wrong they felt it would be to sacrifice one person to save five others—the trolley problem. I also asked participants what they felt they would do in these unusual situations, because measures of moral action can differ considerably from measures of moral judgment. Participants were 431 psychology undergraduates who read multiple vignettes in which the moral dilemma differed based on who was the target to be sacrificed. Characters had the following disorders: PTSD, schizophrenia and substance use disorder (SUD). Participants displayed a positive bias in favor of the PTSD character and negative bias against one, but not all, characters with schizophrenia and the SUD character. In general, when presented with fictitious moral dilemmas, respondents reported being more likely to respond with inaction than to take an action to sacrifice a character. This study documents that some mental disorders are stigmatized while others are not. Knowing which disorders are stigmatized will help improve advocacy efforts for stigma reduction and allocate resources to disorders that are most stigmatized.
API Deprecation: A Retrospective Analysis and Method for Detecting Deprecated API Usages in Code Examples on the Web

description: Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) can get deprecated over time, to indicate that they are obsolete, dangerous, and/or to be eliminated in future versions. This thesis ad- dresses two problems involving API deprecation. API deprecation has not been systematically studied so far. We empirically study how API deprecation has been used in 26 open source Java systems. We find that API dep- recation seems to be underused and not enough information is provided to help users via deprecation messages. More than 40% of all deprecated APIs were removed, most of which were removed during transitions to major releases. A developer may waste valuable time consulting code examples on the web containing deprecated API usages. A version sensitive framework was proposed to detect deprecated API usages in code examples on the web and a prototype tool based on this framework was implemented. Our evaluation of this tool shows that it works fairly well.
Comprehensive Analytical Modelling of SAGD and Its Variations

description: A comprehensive analytical model of the Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process was developed, encompassing steam chamber rise, sideways expansion, and the confinement phases. Results were validated using experimental and field data. The deficiencies of the previous models are pointed out, none of which treated the SAGD process in its entirety, as done in this work. Also, a new mathematical model of the solvent-SAGD process for the sideways expansion of the vapour chamber was developed. During steam chamber rise, the Cumulative Steam-Oil ratio (CSOR) decreases, with an increasing oil production rate. The rise velocity increases with an increase in permeability and temperature. The sideways steam chamber expansion is treated in two widely different ways in this study, called Constant Volumetric Displacement (CVD) where injection rate must be increased continuously for a constant oil rate, and Constant Heat Injection (CHI). In CVD, interface temperature gradient decreases with time, but the heat penetration depth increases. In CHI, heat injection rate is constant, but oil rate declines with time. Also, the oil rate decreases with an increase in operating pressure, in contrast to previous studies. In the final stage, adjacent chambers interfere, reducing the effective head for gravity drainage. For a small well spacing, confinement occurs earlier, heat loss starts decreasing sooner, resulting in a lower CSOR, than for a large spacing. After chambers coalescence, the oil rate declines faster in CVD than CHI model. The above models were combined to obtain the Comprehensive Constant Volumetric Displacement (CCVD) and Comprehensive Constant Heat Injection (CCHI) models. Excellent agreement was obtained with laboratory and field results. Also developed was a new solvent-SAGD model. Results show an increase in heat penetration, and decrease in the interface temperature and concentration with time. Mass transfer scale is of the order of centimetres, while heat transfer occurs over metres. The solvent-SAGD process would yield a higher oil recovery, if viscosity reduction from dilution at a lower temperature is greater than viscosity reduction by temperature in the plain SAGD process, for the same total rate. In most cases, the additional bitumen recovery was less than the volume of the solvent injected.

description: We describe the design and data sample from the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey, the densest and largest precision-redshift survey of galaxies at z ~ 1 completed to date. The survey has conducted a comprehensive census of massive galaxies, their properties, environments, and large-scale structure down to absolute magnitude M_B = -20 at z ~ 1 via ~90 nights of observation on the DEIMOS spectrograph at Keck Observatory. DEEP2 covers an area of 2.8 deg^2 divided into four separate fields, observed to a limiting apparent magnitude of R_AB=24.1. Objects with z < 0.7 are rejected based on BRI photometry in three of the four DEEP2 fields, allowing galaxies with z > 0.7 to be targeted ~2.5 times more efficiently than in a purely magnitude-limited sample. Approximately sixty percent of eligible targets are chosen for spectroscopy, yielding nearly 53,000 spectra and more than 38,000 reliable redshift measurements. Most of the targets which fail to yield secure redshifts are blue objects that lie beyond z ~ 1.45. The DEIMOS 1200-line/mm grating used for the survey delivers high spectral resolution (R~6000), accurate and secure redshifts, and unique internal kinematic information. Extensive ancillary data are available in the DEEP2 fields, particularly in the Extended Groth Strip, which has evolved into one of the richest multiwavelength regions on the sky. DEEP2 surpasses other deep precision-redshift surveys at z ~ 1 in terms of galaxy numbers, redshift accuracy, sample number density, and amount of spectral information. We also provide an overview of the scientific highlights of the DEEP2 survey thus far. This paper is intended as a handbook for users of the DEEP2 Data Release 4, which includes all DEEP2 spectra and redshifts, as well as for the publicly-available DEEP2 DEIMOS data reduction pipelines.

description: Although $Λ$CDM model is very successful in many aspects, it has been seriously challenged. Recently, warm dark matter (WDM) remarkably rose as an alternative of cold dark matter (CDM). In the literature, many attempts have been made to determine the equation-of-state parameter (EoS) of WDM. However, in most of the previous works, it is usually assumed that the EoS of dark matter (DM) is constant (and usually the EoS of dark energy is also constant). Obviously, this assumption is fairly restrictive. It is more natural to assume a variable EoS for WDM (and dark energy). In the present work, we try to constrain the EoS of variable WDM with the current cosmological observations. We find that the best fits indicate WDM, while CDM is still consistent with the current observational data. However, $Λ$CDM is still better than WDM models from the viewpoint of goodness-of-fit. So, in order to distinguish WDM and CDM, the further observations on the small/galactic scale are required. On the other hand, in this work we also consider WDM whose EoS is constant, while the role of dark energy is played by various models. We find that the cosmological constraint on the constant EoS of WDM is fairly robust.

description: We study the parameter space of the constrained exceptional supersymmetric standard model (cE6SSM) consistent with a Higgs signal near 125 GeV and the LHC searches for squarks, gluinos and Z'. The cE6SSM parameter space consistent with correct electroweak symmetry breaking, is represented by scans in the (m0, M1/2) plane for fixed Z' mass and tan beta, with squark, gluino and Higgs masses plotted as contours in this plane. We find that a 125 GeV Higgs mass only arises for a sufficiently large Z' mass, mostly above current limits, and for particular regions of squark and gluino masses corresponding to multi-TeV squark masses, but with lighter gluinos typically within reach of the LHC 8 TeV or forthcoming 14 TeV runs. Successful dark matter relic abundance may be achieved over all the parameter space, assuming a bino-like LSP with a nearby heavier inert Higgsino doublet and decoupled inert singlinos, resulting in conventional gluino decay signatures. A set of typical benchmark points with a Higgs near 125 GeV is provided which exemplifies these features.

description: The primary focus of this research has been to develop simple and precise methods for the formation of novel Ta-based nanostructures, including Ta oxide nanotubes (NTs) and Ta-supported Au nanoparticle (NP) arrays. These nanomaterials are very useful for applications in sensing, electrocatalysis/catalysis, spectroscopy, and more. The Ta oxide NTs are formed by the electrochemical anodization of Ta, a process which can be modified to produce ordered nanoscale dimples that cover the Ta surface. These dimples can then be used as templates for the formation of ordered Au nanoparticle arrays. An in-depth study of the anodization variables showed that NT growth can be slowed down by decreasing the anodization time and HF concentration in the solution, allowing the controlled formation of short (50-1000 nm) NTs in under one minute. The charge passed during anodization was found to be directly proportional to the length of the NTs formed, making cross-sectional imaging unnecessary. A novel two-step anodization method, interspersed with a thermal annealing or negative polarization step, produced stable and well-ordered NTs free of a problematic thin surface oxide layer. These vertically oriented arrays of short NTs were found to have interesting optical properties, with visible structural colours that depend on NT length. The colour of the NT arrays was also found to depend on the medium inside the NTs (air, water, other solids), used for the first time to monitor NT filling, and to determine the refractive index and porosity of the Ta oxide nanotubular array, properties that are otherwise very difficult to obtain. Dimpled Ta was used to create ordered Au NP arrays using two thin film dewetting methods, thermal annealing and pulsed laser-induced dewetting. These methods yield Au NPs of predictable size, shape, spacing, and surface density, with these parameters varying predictably with the initial thickness of the Au thin film and the technique used for dewetting. The Au NPs formed particularly by thermal dewetting were found to be electrochemically addressable, giving another measure of Au surface area and serving as promising materials for future electrochemical applications.

description: This thesis proposes to remedy some of the theoretical lacunae surrounding the topic of strategic culture by reconceptualising it in a way that is compatible with existing expected utility models of executive choice.
 Current theorising regarding strategic culture has been paralysed by an ongoing debate between the first and third generations of strategic culture theorists and by the persistent inability of scholars to provide a predictive framework based on the concept - meaning that it is unable to operate as anything other than a residual variable.
 The hypothesis of this thesis is that conceptualising strategic culture using Thomas Schelling’s concept of a focal point permits us to sidestep some of the theoretical debates that have divided rationalists and theorists of strategic culture by allowing culture to be grafted on to a rational actor model of executive choice in a way that is progressive rather than degenerative.
 In order to test this theory, the thesis develops and subsequently tests the idea of a liberal strategic culture, utilising both the congruence method and within case process tracing to demonstrate the external validity of the theory being developed. The cases chosen span American administrations from the Cold War to the contemporary era and demonstrate the utility of a re conceptualised model of strategic culture across a range of geopolitical and domestic contexts.

description: The current accelerated expansion of our universe could be due to an unknown energy component with negative pressure (dark energy) or a modification to general relativity (modified gravity). On the other hand, recently warm dark matter (WDM) remarkably rose as an alternative of cold dark matter (CDM). Obviously, it is of interest to distinguish these different types of models. In fact, many attempts have been made in the literature. However, in the present work, we show that WDM, modified gravity and coupled CDM form a trinity, namely, they are indistinguishable by using the cosmological observations of both cosmic expansion history and growth history. Therefore, to break this degeneracy, the other complementary probes beyond the ones of cosmic expansion history and growth history are required.

description: Optical stellar intensity interferometry with air Cherenkov telescope arrays, composed of nearly 100 telescopes, will provide means to measure fundamental stellar parameters and also open the possibility of model-independent imaging. In addition to sensitivity issues, a main limitation of image recovery in intensity interferometry is the loss of phase of the complex degree of coherence during the measurement process. Nevertheless, several model-independent phase reconstruction techniques have been developed. Here we implement a Cauchy-Riemann based algorithm to recover images from simulated data. For bright stars (m_v~6) and exposure times of a few hours, we find that scale features such as diameters, oblateness and overall shapes are reconstructed with uncertainties of a few percent. More complex images are also well reconstructed with high degrees of correlation with the pristine image. Results are further improved by using a forward algorithm.

description: Written Corrective Feedback (WCF) is a common formative feedback strategy in the language classroom, yet it is unclear whether it is effective and in which contexts. This study aims to determine the influence of learner proficiency in the effectiveness of two different types of WCF and whether learner proficiency influences how learners respond to two different types of WCF. Using an embedded, mixed methods design, seven participants wrote three writing samples and receiving two different types of feedback. Following the writing samples, the participants were asked to think aloud as they reviewed the feedback for the first time, followed at the end by retrospective, semi-structured interviews. The findings suggest that learner proficiency did not influence the effectiveness of the two different types of WCF, however they did reveal that learners at both the beginner and advanced levels lack effective strategies for responding to feedback.

description: We use the parameterized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism to explore the weak field approximation of teleparallel gravity non-minimally coupling to a scalar field $ϕ$, with arbitrary coupling function $ω(ϕ)$ and potential $V(ϕ)$. We find that all the PPN parameters are identical to general relativity (GR), which makes this class of theories compatible with the Solar System experiments. This feature also makes the theories quite different from the scalar-tensor theories, which might be subject to stringent constraints on the parameter space, or need some screening mechanisms to pass the Solar System experimental constraints.

description: On the basis of an alternative approach to micro-cat states (Found. of Phys., 41, No. 9, p.1502 (2011)) we develop a new model of the two-slit experiment. It explains both this particular experiment and how the wave properties of any ensemble of single quantum particles emerge from their corpuscular ones. The key role in this explanation is played by the indistinguishability of identical quantum particles.

misc-1/OGC is a new stress response gene and regulator of apoptosis, germline stem cell proliferation and insulin secretion
Creators: name: Gallo, Marco
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The present work produced new insights on the function of an ascaroside molecule and a gene that affect formation of dauer larvae, a diapause stage in Caenorhabditis elegans. Our results indicate that the ascaroside daumone, although a component of the dauer pheromone, does not act through signalling pathways active in the cilia. Furthermore, daumone has toxic effects if the animals are exposed to dauer-inducing concentrations of the compound. This ascaroside is not able, by itself, to recapitulate the full spectrum of events that occur during dauer formation. We identified misc-1 (MItochondrial Solute Carrier) as a novel suppressor of the dauer phenotype of daf-2/IGF1R mutants. We provide evidence that MISC-1 is the putative orthologue of mammalian OGC (2-OxoGlutarate Carrier), a metabolic carrier of the inner mitochondrial membrane. We show that a misc-1 null allele suppresses the dauer phenotype of daf-2 mutants by increasing insulin secretion. Consistent with this result, misc-1 mutants have increased proliferation of germline stem cells. Furthermore, we show that MISC-1 and OGC are involved in a phylogenetically conserved apoptosis pathway. Reduced levels of MISC-1 in C. elegans and OGC in human cells result in mitochondrial fragmentation. MISC-1 and human OGC physically interact with the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2-family members CED-9 and Bcl-xL, respectively, and are novel components of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Decreased levels of MISC-1 and OGC induce apoptosis in C. elegans and mouse cells. Finally, our experiments confirm that MISC-1/OGC has Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)-detoxifying functions in vivo. We use misc-1 mutants to show that increased levels of ROS do not have negative effects on life span, contrary to current theories of aging. Using misc-1 mutants as a model, we show that extended life span of some C. elegans mitochondrial mutants is dependent on upregulation of extra-mitochondrial pathways of energy production. In conclusion, we show that the metabolic protein MISC-1/OGC affects insulin secretion, mitochondrial dynamics, apoptosis and ROS detoxification. We propose that MISC-1/OGC integrates metabolic and cell survival decisions by its physical interaction with the apoptotic machinery.
