UV/Vacuum-UV Advanced Oxidation Process for the treatment of micropollutants from drinking water sources under common operational temperatures
Creators: name: Serrano Mora, Adrian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Vacuum-UV Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) has been identified as a viable candidate to treat chemical contaminants in drinking water. In contrast to the commercially available and widely applied UV/H₂O₂ AOP, VUV AOP does not rely on the addition of chemicals for the generation of hydroxyl radicals. As a result, the technology is very appealing to small systems and rural communities which often lack infrastructure and qualified personnel to operate complex systems. The primary objective of this research was to investigate the effect of temperature on the removal efficiency and energy consumption of a UV/VUV flow-through photoreactor. Additionally, the optical absorption properties at 185 nm of water and naturally occurring solutes such as Natural Organic Matter (NOM), nitrate, sulphate and chloride were studied between 3.6 and 25.0 °C. The secondary objective of this research was to investigate the effect of UV/VUV treatment on the removal of a mixture of micropollutants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, hormones, pesticides). The results showed that temperature does not have a significant impact on process efficiency and energy consumption. Moreover, owing to the presence of naturally occurring solutes, it was found that the production of OH radicals was to some extent limited at 3.6 °C, therefore slightly lower removals were observed at low temperature. When evaluated on a mixture of micropollutants, the UV/VUV process could potentially degrade a variety of substances with feasible energy consumption. Other than for two of the 12 micropollutants tested, at a flow-rate of 1.9 L min-¹, the VUV process was competitive to the UV/H₂O₂ process.

description: We construct two families of refinements of the (projectivized) support variety of a finite dimensional module $M$ for a finite group scheme $G$. For an arbitrary finite group scheme, we associate a family of {\it non maximal rank varieties} $Γ^j(G)_M$, $1\leq j \leq p-1$, to a $kG$-module $M$. For $G$ infinitesimal, we construct a finer family of locally closed subvarieties $V^{\ul a}(G)_M$ of the variety of one parameter subgroups of $G$ for any partition $\ul a$ of $\dim M$. For an arbitrary finite group scheme $G$, a $kG$-module $M$ of constant rank, and a cohomology class $ζ$ in $\HHH^1(G,M)$ we introduce the {\it zero locus} $Z(ζ) \subset Π(G)$. We show that $Z(ζ)$ is a closed subvariety, and relate it to the non-maximal rank varieties. We also extend the construction of $Z(ζ)$ to an arbitrary extension class $ζ\in \Ext^n_G(M,N)$ whenever $M$ and $N$ are $kG$-modules of constant Jordan type.

description: Building on the literature on regularization and dimension reduction methods, we have developed a quarterly forecasting model for euro area GDP. This method consists in bridging quarterly national accounts data using factors extracted from a large panel of monthly and quarterly series including business surveys and financial indicators. The pseudo real-time nature of the information set is accounted for as the pattern of publication lags is considered. Forecast evaluation exercises show that predictions obtained through various dimension reduction methods outperform both the benchmark AR and the diffusion index model without pre-selected indicators. Moreover, forecast combination significantly reduces forecast error.

description: The Ernst method of removing nodal singularities from the charged C-metric representing uniformly accelerated black holes with mass $m$, charge $q$ and acceleration $A$ by "adding" an electric field $E$ is generalized. Utilizing the new form of the C-metric found recently, Ernst's simple "equilibrium" condition $mA=qE$ valid for small accelerations is generalized for arbitrary $A$. The nodal singularity is removed also in the case of accelerating and rotating charged black holes, and the corresponding equilibrium condition is determined.

description: The different ground state energies of N-pion and M-kaon systems for N+M <=12 are studied in lattice QCD. These energies are then used to extract the various two- and three- body interactions that occur in these systems. Particular attention is paid to additional thermal states present in the spectrum because of the finite temporal extent. These calculations are performed using one ensemble of 2+1 flavor anisotropic lattices with a spatial lattice spacing a_s ~ 0.125 fm, an anisotropy factor ξ=a_s/a_t=3.5, and a spatial volume L^3 ~ (2.5 fm)^3. The quark masses used correspond to pion and kaon masses of m_π ~ 383 MeV and m_K ~ 537 MeV, respectively. The isospin and strangeness chemical potentials of these systems are found to be in the region where chiral perturbation theory and hadronic models predict a phase transition between a pion condensed phase and a kaon condensed phase.

description: A­novel polymeric nanocomposites (TiO2/poly(acrylamide-co-methylenbisacrylamide)) decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) denoted as (Ag–TiO2/poly(AM-co-MBAM)) was prepared and fully characterized. Initially, the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles was modified using methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilan (MAPTMS), thus a C[dbnd]C bond for polymerization was generated, which polymerized wih acrylamide and methylenbisacrylamide monomers. Ag NPs then were immoblized on the surface of this obtained polymeric nanocomposites via reduction in the presence of AgNO3. The catalytic efficiency of Ag–TiO2/poly(AM-co-MBAM) nanocomposites was investigated for the reduction of nitroarenes and some carbonyl compounds in the presence of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as reducing agent in aqueous media to give the corresponding anilines and alcohols with excellent yields and short reaction times, respectively. The nanocatalyst was easily recovered and reused for at least seven cycles without appreciable loss of its catalytic activity.

description: Quasinormal modes provide valuable information about the structure of spacetime outside a black hole. There is also a conjectured relationship between the highly damped quasinormal modes and the semi-classical spectrum of the horizon area/entropy. In this paper, we show that for spacetimes characterized by more than one scale, the "infinitely damped" modes in principle probe the structure of spacetime outside the horizon at the shortest length scales. We demonstrate this with the calculation of the highly damped quasinormal modes of the non-singular, single horizon, quantum corrected black hole derived in [14].

description: Population means and standard deviations are the most common estimands to quantify effects in factorial layouts. In fact, most statistical procedures in such designs are built toward inferring means or contrasts thereof. For more robust analyses, we consider the population median, the interquartile range (IQR) and more general quantile combinations as estimands in which we formulate null hypotheses and calculate compatible confidence regions. Based upon simultaneous multivariate central limit theorems and corresponding resampling results, we derive asymptotically correct procedures in general, potentially heteroscedastic, factorial designs with univariate endpoints. Special cases cover robust tests for the population median or the IQR in arbitrary crossed one-, two- and higher-way layouts with potentially heteroscedastic error distributions. In extensive simulations, we analyze their small sample properties and also conduct an illustrating data analysis comparing children’s height and weight from different countries.

description: We analyze the chemical abundances of planetary nebulae and HII regions in the M81 disk for insight on galactic evolution, and compare it with that of other galaxies, including the Milky Way. We acquired Hectospec/MMT spectra of 39 PNe and 20 HII regions, with 33 spectra viable for temperature and abundance analysis. Our PN observations represent the first PN spectra in M81 ever published, while several HII region spectra have been published before, although without a direct electron temperature determination. We determine elemental abundances of helium, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, sulfur, and argon in PNe and HII regions, and determine their averages and radial gradients. The average O/H ratio of PNe compared to that of the HII regions indicates a general oxygen enrichment in M81 in the last ~10 Gyr. The PN metallicity gradient in the disk of M81 is -0.055+-0.02 dex/kpc. Neon and sulfur in PNe have a radial distribution similar to that of oxygen, with similar gradient slopes. If we combine our HII sample with the one in the literature we find a possible mild evolution of the gradient slope, with results consistent with gradient steepening with time. Additional spectroscopy is needed to confirm this trend. There are no Type I PNe in our M81 sample, consistently with the observation of only the brightest bins of the PNLF, the galaxy metallicity, and the evolution of post-AGB shells. Both the young and the old populations of M81 disclose shallow but detectable negative radial metallicity gradient, which could be slightly steeper for the young population, thus not excluding a mild gradients steepening with the time since galaxy formation. During its evolution M81 has been producing oxygen; its total oxygen enrichment exceeds that of other nearby galaxies.

Luminescent properties of Pb-based (PbX) colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) in vacuum, on silicon and integrated with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) photonic integrated circuit (PIC)
Creators: name: Foell III, Charles Alden
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In the rapidly evolving field of experimental quantum information processing, one important sub-field pursues a potentially scalable implementation that transports quantum information encoded in photons throughout “photonic circuits” fabricated in a silicon wafer. A key component is an efficient on-demand source of these single photons, and this dissertation aimed to assess the feasibility of one proposed realization of such a source by integrating few PbSe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs, demonstrated single photon emitters in nanoparticle form) into the mode volume of an optical microcavity designed to efficiently direct quantum dot emission into a silicon photonic circuit. Although no direct evidence of {\it single} photon emission was observed, results prompted a number of follow-up experiments and considerable theoretical modeling to understand this quantum dot, photonic circuit system. The methods of investigation included (1) temporally-, spectrally-, and spatially-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements of PbSe CQDs integrated into SOI PICs and relatable environments (solution, thick film, thin film), (2) temperature-dependent, air-exposure studies of PbSe CQD thick film PL, (3) development and application of kinetic and quantum mechanical cavity-coupled modeling that admit complete accounting of the photonic density of states, depolarization effects, and non-radiative decay, and (4) a photon coincidence test of single photon emission. The main findings of this work are: (1) while capture of cavity-enhanced PbSe CQD emission into a silicon photonic circuit was demonstrated, the overall photon generate rate is inadequate for any useful implementation, (2) the measured coupling rate can be modeled and explained in terms of system parameters extracted from auxiliary experimental results obtained with the PbSe CQDs in isolation, or on isolated microcavities, and (3) consistent results could only be obtained after nontrivial depolarization factors and non-radiative decay processes are properly accounted for. From this it is clear that the performance of PbSe CQDs in this configuration of a single photon source in silicon is currently limited by a long-lived trap state with a several microsecond lifetime, and large depolarization effects that inhibit emission. Although plausible future efforts may mitigate these effects substantially, performance may still be hindered by the intrinsic emission strength of PbSe CQDs.

description: The search for events containing isolated leptons and missing transverse momentum produced in ep collisions is performed individually and in a common phase space with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA. The combined H1 and ZEUS data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.98 fb^-1 and comprises the complete high energy data from the HERA programme. A total of 81 events are observed in the data, compared to a Standard Model prediction of 87.8 \pm 11.0, which is dominated by single W production. At large hadronic transverse momentum P_T^X > 25 GeV in the e+p data, integrated luminosity 0.58 fb^-1, 23 data events are observed compared to a SM prediction of 14.0 \pm 1.9. The total single W production cross section is measured as 1.06 \pm 0.16 (stat.) \pm 0.07 (sys.) in agreement with a SM expectation of 1.26 \pm 0.19. The isolated lepton events are examined in the context of a search for anomalous single top production, where the hadronic decays of the W are additionally considered. Although several top-like candidates are present in the H1 data no clear signal is observed and an upper limit on the anomalous single top production cross section of < 0.25 pb is established at the 95% confidence level. This limit corresponds to an upper bound on the anomalous magnetic coupling of < 0.18 assuming a top mass of 175 GeV.

description: Micro-expressions are brief facial expressions of emotion (40 to 500 ms) that are posited to represent true reflections of an individual’s emotional state that have 'leaked’ through voluntary attempts to neutralize or mask the involuntary expression. As such, correct recognition can have important benefits. The Japanese and Caucasian Brief Affect Recognition Task (JACBART) has been proposed as the standardized measure of affect recognition capabilities with micro-expression durations (i.e., facial expressions lasting less than 500 ms). In this paradigm target expressions of emotion are briefly presented between two neutral expressions. However, limited research has explored the temporal thresholds and the various factors that may influence performance in a JACBART paradigm. In three studies, the current thesis sought to determine the effects of a forward mask with a variable duration (Study 1), the inclusion/exclusion of a ‘neutral’ response category (Study 2), and expressions portrayed at lower intensities (Study 3). Although a variable-duration forward mask was found to have little effect on performance, significant effects were observed for the inclusion of a ‘neutral’ response option and when reducing the expression intensity. In addition, a trend was observed across all three studies that demonstrated a recognition advantage for expressions of happiness and surprise. Performances for these two expressions exceeded the psychometric threshold with durations of as little as 5 to 10 ms, whereas presentation times as long as 113 ms were necessary to elicit above-threshold recognition rates with negative emotions (i.e., anger, disgust, fear, and sadness). Altogether, the current findings present some methodological considerations for studies interested in measuring brief affect recognition with a JACBART paradigm. More generally, they expand our understanding of how various relevant factors affect the speed at which facial expressions can be processed.

description: With an adaptive optics imaging survey of 148 B6-A7 stars, we have tested the hypothesis that unresolved lower-mass companions are the source of the unexpected X-ray detections of stars in this spectral type range. The sample is composed of 63 stars detected in X-rays within the ROSAT All-Sky Survey and 85 stars that form a control sample; both subsets have the same restricted distribution of spectral type, age, X-ray sensitivity and separation coverage. A total of 68 companion candidates are resolved with separations ranging from 0.3" to 26.2", with 23 new detections. The multiple star frequency of the X-ray sample based on companions resolved within the ROSAT error ellipse is found to be 43 (+6,-6)%. The corresponding control sample multiple star frequency is three times lower at 12 (+4,-3)% -- a difference of 31\pm7%. These results are presented in the first of a series of papers based on our Volume-limited A-Star (VAST) survey -- a comprehensive study of the multiplicity of A-type stars.

description: The possibility of intrinsic superconductivity in alkali-coated graphene monolayers has been recently suggested theoretically. Here, we derive the possible pairing symmetries of a carbon honeycomb lattice and discuss their phase diagram. We also evaluate the superconducting local density of states (LDOS) around an isolated impurity. This is directly related to scanning tunneling microscopy experiments, and may evidence the occurrence of unconventional superconductivity in graphene.

description: Enhancers are modular regulatory elements that are central to the spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression. Bidirectional transcription initiating at enhancers has been proposed to mark active enhancers and as such has been utilized to experimentally identify active enhancers de novo. Here, we show that bidirectional transcription initiation is a pervasive feature of accessible chromatin, including at enhancers, promoters, and other DNase hypersensitive regions not marked with canonical histone modification profiles. Transcription is less predictive for enhancer activity than epigenetic modifications such as H3K4me1 or the accessibility of DNA when measured in both enhancer assays and at endogenous loci. The stability of enhancer initiated transcripts does not influence measures of enhancer activity and we cannot detect evidence of purifying selection on the resulting enhancer RNAs within the human population. Our results indicate that bidirectional transcription initiation from accessible chromatin is not sufficient for, nor specific to, enhancer activity. Transcription initiating at enhancers may be a frequent by-product of promiscuous RNA polymerase initiation at accessible chromatin and is unlikely to generally play a functional role in enhancer activity.

description: When the number of particles is finite, the noncolliding Brownian motion (the Dyson model) and the noncolliding squared Bessel process are determinantal diffusion processes for any deterministic initial configuration $ξ=\sum_{j \in Λ} δ_{x_j}$, in the sense that any multitime correlation function is given by a determinant associated with the correlation kernel, which is specified by an entire function $Φ$ having zeros in $\supp ξ$. Using such entire functions $Φ$, we define new topologies called the $Φ$-moderate topologies. Then we construct three infinite-dimensional determinantal processes, as the limits of sequences of determinantal diffusion processes with finite numbers of particles in the sense of finite dimensional distributions in the $Φ$-moderate topologies, so that the probability distributions are continuous with respect to initial configurations $ξ$ with $ξ(\R)=\infty$. We show that our three infinite particle systems are versions of the determinantal processes with the extended sine, Bessel, and Airy kernels, respectively, which are reversible with respect to the determinantal point processes obtained in the bulk scaling limit and the soft-edge scaling limit of the eigenvalue distributions of the Gaussian unitary ensemble, and the hard-edge scaling limit of that of the chiral Gaussian unitary ensemble studied in the random matrix theory. Then Markovianity is proved for the three infinite-dimensional determinantal processes.

Photoassociation and Feshbach resonance studies in ultra-cold gases of ⁶Li and Rb atoms

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This thesis presents an experimental apparatus capable of producing and studying ultra-cold mixtures of ⁶Li and Rb, and progress towards the creation of ultra-cold ground state ⁶Li₂ and LiRb molecules. Ultra-cold experiments with molecules have applications in many quantum computation and simulation experiments. We discuss elements of the apparatus which are important to these experiments, including electric field plates in air capable of producing fields up to 18 kV/cm, and a laser system for photoassociation spectroscopy based on two Ti:Sapphire lasers phase locked to the same optical frequency comb. With respect to ⁶Li and ⁸⁵Rb mixtures, we report on the observation of six Feshbach resonances, which represent an important step towards molecule production and future experiments in this heteronuclear mixture. In addition, we demonstrate the production of a BEC of ⁶Li₂ Feshbach molecules, a degenerate Fermi gas of ⁶Li and the formation of BCS pairs. In the ⁶Li system, we report on the high resolution spectroscopy of the v'=20-26 vibrational levels of the c(1³∑⁺g) potential and the v'=29-35 vibrational levels of the A(1¹∑⁺u) potential. In the A(1¹∑⁺u) potential, we find that the v'=31 and v'=35 levels have the largest transition strength and are therefore good candidates to use as intermediate states in molecule formation. We demonstrate atom-molecule dark states in the BEC-BCS crossover regime and additionally use dark-state spectroscopy to make extremely high resolution measurements of the least bound N''=0 ro-vibrational levels in the X(1¹∑⁺g) and a(1³∑⁺u) potential. In addition, we present spectroscopy of all ten N''=0 and N''=2 ro-vibrational levels in the a(1³∑⁺u) potential and furnish a preliminary interpretation of the observed energy structure. Finally, we report on the observation of anomalous Autler-Townes and dark-state spectrum. Using an extension to the standard three level model, we show that these anomalous profiles are due to degeneracies that exist in the bound molecular states, and to the choice of polarization of the coupling fields. These results have a direct impact on molecule formation, and provide a clear guide to future experiments.

description: We present results of observations in the optical to mid-infrared wavelengths of the X-ray source CXO J172337.5-373442, which was serendipitously discovered in the Chandra images and was found to have a fully resolved X-ray jet. The observations include a combination of photometry and spectroscopy in the optical using ground-based telescopes and mid-infrared photometry using Spitzer. We detect the optical/IR counterpart of CXO J172337.5-373442 and identify it to be a G9-V star located at a distance of 334+-60~pc. Comparable values of the hydrogen column densities determined independently from the optical/IR observations and X-ray observations indicate that the optical source is associated with the X-ray source. Since the X-ray luminosity can not be explained in terms of emission from a single G9-V star, it is likely that CXO J172337.5-373442 is an accreting compact object in a binary system. Thus, CXO J172337.5-373442 is the nearest known resolved X-ray jet from a binary system, which is not a symbiotic star. Based on the existing X-ray data, the nature of the compact object can not be confirmed. However the low luminosity of the X-ray point source, 7.1x10^{30} Lsun combined with estimates of the age of the jet and a lack of detection of bright outburst, suggests that the X-ray jet was launched during extreme quiescence of the object. The measured low X-ray luminosity of the jet suggests the likelihood of such jets being more ubiquitous than our current understanding.

description: This is a study of H-alpha emitters in two dense galaxy proto-clusters surrounding radio galaxies at z~2. We show that the proto-cluster surrounding MRC 1138-262 contains 14+/-2 times more H-alpha candidates than the average field (9 sigma significance), and the z=2.35 radio galaxy 4C+10.48 is surrounded by 12+/-2 times more emitters than the field (5 sigma), so it is also likely to reside in a dense proto-cluster environment. We compared these H-alpha emitters, situated in dense environments, to a control field sample selected from 3 separate fields forming a total area of 172 arcmin^2. We constructed and compared H-alpha and rest-frame R continuum luminosity functions of the emitters in both environments. The star formation density is on average 13 times greater in the proto-clusters than the field at z~2, so the total star formation rate within the central 1.5Mpc of the proto-clusters exceeds 3000Msun/yr. However, we found no significant difference in the shape of the H-alpha luminosity functions, implying that environment does not substantially affect the strength of the H-alpha line from strongly star forming galaxies. The proto-cluster emitters are typically 0.8mag brighter in rest-frame R continuum than field emitters, implying they are twice as massive as their field counterparts at the same redshift. We also show the proto-cluster galaxies have lower specific star formation rates than field galaxies, meaning the emitters in the dense environments formed more of their stars earlier than the field galaxies. We conclude that galaxy growth in the early Universe was accelerated in dense environments, and that cluster galaxies differed from field galaxies even before the cluster had fully formed.

description: In order to protect health workers from SARS-CoV-2, there is need to characterise the different types of patient-facing health workers. These data were collected to determine both the infection and seroprevalence of SARS-COV-2 in health workers as well as to evaluate the occupational and demographic predictors of seropositivity to inform the country’s infection prevention and control strategy. The data presented here were collected from 651 health workers in Zimbabwe. The participants were recruited through a mixed sampling approach was to allow the study to capture different types of patient-facing worker in different health care settings. Their demographic data (age, sex) and type of health centre, occupation, and station in the health centres is provided. Also collected were health variables which are self-explanatory in the data spread sheet. These include the following; COVID-19 symptoms in the previous 4 months e.g. fever recorded as fever_4months in the spread sheet as well as COVID-19 symptoms at the time of the study recorded as fever, new dry cough etc and, self-reported co-morbidities recorded at the time of collection are also given e.g. diabetes, cancer where yes means co-morbidity or symptom is present and no means the co-morbidity or symptom is not present in the participant. We determined the serological status of the health workers by detecting the presence of SARS CoV-2 antibodies using a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies (Wuhan UNscience Biotechnology Companies UNICOV-40 test kit) following the manufacturer’s guidelines. The test detects the presence of IgM and IgG antibodies directed against the nucleocapsid and the spike proteins of the virus. The IgM antibody status is recorded in the spreadsheet under the variable SARSCOV2 IgM antibody_result, where negative means no IgM antibodies were detected and positive means IgM antibodies were detected. The IgG antibody status is recorded in the spreadsheet under the variable SARSCOV2 IgG antibody_result, where negative means no IgG antibodies were detected and positive means IgG antibodies were detected.

description: Resonance spectra of two-dimensional dielectric microwave resonators of circular and square shapes have been measured. The deduced length spectra of periodic orbits were analyzed and a trace formula for dielectric resonators recently proposed by Bogomolny et al. [Phys. Rev. E 78, 056202 (2008)] was tested. The observed deviations between the experimental length spectra and the predictions of the trace formula are attributed to a large number of missing resonances in the measured spectra. We show that by taking into account the systematics of observed and missing resonances the experimental length spectra are fully understood. In particular, a connection between the most long-lived resonances and certain periodic orbits is established experimentally.
