Water use metrics for the determination of environmental impacts : regional assessment of upstream unconventional oil and gas
Creators: name: McAuliff, Kelsey Lane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Technology and innovation have increased the economic viability of horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, leading to the rapid increase in unconventional resource development in North America over the past fifty years. The quick development of the unconventional industry has been met with debate and criticism regarding industry methods/standards, volumes of water used, and impacts on the environment. In parallel, the field of water use metrics has also experienced a surge in popularity, most notably with the application of the water footprinting concept to evaluate the water use of businesses and countries alike. However, water use metrics evaluating water use impact have not been applied in the context of evaluating water use in unconventional oil and gas (UOG), which have instead focused on completing water use inventories. In this thesis, water use practices during UOG have been critically reviewed and analyzed to identify water sources and volume patterns. The review of water use practices in UOG is then used to develop criteria for evaluating common water use metrics to determine their applicability for inventorying and assessing the impacts of water use in UOG. A decision tree has been proposed and developed to facilitate the selection of water use inventory and impact metrics. Finally, a case study implements the selected Water Stress Index (WSI) framework to complete a regional water use inventory and midpoint impact assessment within the Montney unconventional play trend in British Columbia, Canada. Uncertainty analysis is performed under present and future scenarios to evaluate inherent parameter, model, and scenario uncertainties. While water use metrics do not replace site-specific assessment, they are important components of effective water management and can inform decision making, data collection and prioritization, and existing and future regional water stress conditions.

Non-commutative Lévy processes for generalized (particularly anyon) statistics
Creators: name: Bozejko, Marek

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let $T=\mathbb R^d$. Let a function $Q:T^2\to\mathbb C$ satisfy $Q(s,t)=\bar{Q(t,s)}$ and $|Q(s,t)|=1$. A generalized statistics is described by creation operators $\partial_t^†$ and annihilation operators $\partial_t$, $t\in T$, which satisfy the $Q$-commutation relations. From the point of view of physics, the most important case of a generalized statistics is the anyon statistics, for which $Q(s,t)$ is equal to $q$ if $st$. Here $q\in\mathbb C$, $|q|=1$. We start the paper with a detailed discussion of a $Q$-Fock space and operators $(\partial_t^†,\partial_t)_{t\in T}$ in it, which satisfy the $Q$-commutation relations. Next, we consider a noncommutative stochastic process (white noise) $ω(t)=\partial_t^†+\partial_t+λ\partial_t^†\partial_t$, $t\in T$. Here $λ\in\mathbb R$ is a fixed parameter. The case $λ=0$ corresponds to a $Q$-analog of Brownian motion, while $λ\ne0$ corresponds to a (centered) $Q$-Poisson process. We study $Q$-Hermite ($Q$-Charlier respectively) polynomials of infinitely many noncommutatative variables $(ω(t))_{t\in T}$. The main aim of the paper is to explain the notion of independence for a generalized statistics, and to derive corresponding Lévy processes. To this end, we recursively define $Q$-cumulants of a field $(ξ(t))_{t\in T}$. This allows us to define a $Q$-Lévy process as a field $(ξ(t))_{t\in T}$ whose values at different points of $T$ are $Q$-independent and which possesses a stationarity of increments (in a certain sense). We present an explicit construction of a $Q$-Lévy process, and derive a Nualart-Schoutens-type chaotic decomposition for such a process.
Rank-aware, Approximate Query Processing on the Semantic Web

Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2014

description: Search over the Semantic Web corpus frequently leads to queries having large result sets. So, in order to discover relevant data elements, users must rely on ranking techniques to sort results according to their relevance. At the same time, applications oftentimes deal with information needs, which do not require complete and exact results. In this thesis, we face the problem of how to process queries over Web data in an approximate and rank-aware fashion.

The economic viability of small-scale fisheries
Creators: name: Schuhbauer, Anna Christina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Small-scale fisheries (SSF) provide food and jobs for millions of people worldwide and therefore contribute to the wellbeing of many coastal communities. However, there is concern that the benefits they generate may dwindle to nothing because they are currently threatened by overfishing, climate change, industrialization and global market shifts. SSF are politically and economically marginalized as well as understudied. I argue that understanding the economic viability of SSF will help address these challenges. Currently, the definition of economic viability is incoherent and often equated with financial viability, where profitability is the sole goal. However, SSF are complex dynamic systems whose goal is not always only profit but also social wellbeing and the maintenance of livelihoods play essential roles. Therefore, I define economic viability as the achievement of non-negative net benefits to society over time. Here I determine the difference between financial and economic viability as the distortion created by the provision of fisheries subsidies. Therefore, I carried out a first global bottom-up assessment that splits subsidy amounts into those received by small- and large-scale fisheries. My analysis suggests that only 16% of global subsidies reach SSF despite their global importance. This disproportionate division of subsidies impairs the economic viability of already vulnerable SSF. Next I compute what I denote as basic economic viability of SSF using Mexican fisheries as an example. Results suggest that decreasing fishing effort, reducing capacity-enhancing subsidies and improving monitoring and management can lead to increased economic viability of SSF. To understand the underlying dynamics of economic viability, I extended the economic viability approach and included assessments of economic impacts, employment and food security aspects into the study. Taking these attributes into account, results indicate that SSF are more important to society and have a more positive prognosis for economic viability than their large-scale counterparts. These findings are relevant, not only for Mexican SSF but for SSF worldwide. The results help bridge the current knowledge gap in SSF research essential to policy making and management that would not only improve economic viability but also the sustainability of the fish stocks upon which they rely.

description: Two coalescing black holes (BHs) represent a conspicuous source of gravitational waves (GWs). The merger involves 17 parameters in the general case of Kerr BHs, so that a successful identification and parameter extraction of the information encoded in the waves will provide us with a detailed description of the physics of BHs. A search based on matched-filtering for characterization and parameter extraction requires the development of some $10^{15}$ waveforms. If a third additional BH perturbed the system, the waveforms would not be applicable, and we would need to increase the number of templates required for a valid detection. In this letter, we calculate the probability that more than two BHs interact in the regime of strong relativity in a dense stellar cluster. We determine the physical properties necessary in a stellar system for three black holes to have a close encounter in this regime and also for an existing binary of two BHs to have a strong interaction with a third hole. In both cases the event rate is negligible. While dense stellar systems such as galactic nuclei, globular clusters and nuclear stellar clusters are the breeding grounds for the sources of gravitational waves that ground-based detectors like Advanced LIGO and Advanced VIRGO will be exploring, the analysis of the waveforms in full general relativity needs only to evaluate the two-body problem. This reduces the number of templates of waveforms to create by orders of magnitude.

description: We propose a new type of bottom-up holographic model describing the Regge like spectrum of mesons. This type of spectrum emerges due to condensation of a scalar field in the bulk anti-de Sitter space. The gauge invariance of the action describing the vector mesons requires that the bulk scalar field must correspond to an operator of canonical dimension two. This is not necessary for the description of the scalar sector where the generation of the mass spectrum can be directly related to the formation of gluon condensate in QCD. It is also demonstrated that such an explicit introduction of local dim2 operator into the model leads to disappearance of the corresponding contribution from the dim2 condensate in the power expansion of the gauge-invariant vector correlator as required by QCD.

description: String Theory includes a plethora of higher-spin excitations, which clearly lie behind its most spectacular properties, but whose detailed behavior is largely unknown. Conversely, string interactions contain much useful information on higher-spin couplings, which can be very valuable in current attempts to characterize their systematics. We present a simplified form for the three-point (and four-point) amplitudes of the symmetric tensors belonging to the first Regge trajectory of the open bosonic string and relate them to local couplings and currents. These include the cases first discussed, from a field theory perspective, by Berends, Burgers and van Dam, and generalize their results in a suggestive fashion along lines recently explored by Boulanger, Metsaev and others. We also comment on the recovery of gauge symmetry in the low-tension limit, on the current-exchange amplitudes that can be built from these couplings and on the extension to mixed-symmetry states.

description: We use the deepest and the most comprehensive photometric data currently available for GOODS-South galaxies to measure their photometric redshifts. The photometry includes VLT/VIMOS (U-band), HST/ACS (F435W, F606W, F775W, and F850LP bands), VLT/ISAAC (J-, H-, and Ks-bands), and four Spitzer/IRAC channels (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 micron). The catalog is selected in the z-band (F850LP) and photometry in each band is carried out using the recently completed TFIT algorithm, which performs PSF matched photometry uniformly across different instruments and filters, despite large variations in PSFs and pixel scales. Photometric redshifts are derived using the GOODZ code, which is based on the template fitting method using priors. The code also implements "training" of the template SED set, using available spectroscopic redshifts in order to minimize systematic differences between the templates and the SEDs of the observed galaxies. Our final catalog covers an area of 153 sq. arcmin and includes photometric redshifts for a total of 32,505 objects. The scatter between our estimated photometric and spectroscopic redshifts is sigma=0.040 with 3.7% outliers to the full z-band depth of our catalog, decreasing to sigma=0.039 and 2.1% outliers at a magnitude limit m(z)<24.5. This is consistent with the best results previously published for GOODS-S galaxies, however, the present catalog is the deepest yet available and provides photometric redshifts for significantly more objects to deeper flux limits and higher redshifts than earlier works. Furthermore, we show that the photometric redshifts estimated here for galaxies selected as dropouts are consistent with those expected based on the Lyman break technique.

Exploring older adults' experiences with the Nurse Continence Advisor role in Residential Long Term Care
Creators: name: Gill, Jasjit
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Background: It is estimated that 60% of older adults living in Residential Long Term Care (RLTC) experience urinary incontinence that impacts them physically, psychosocially, emotionally and financially. Urinary incontinence can be an embarrassing and devastating experience that impacts older adults’ dignity and quality of life. Nurse Continence Advisors (NCA), experts in incontinence, are independent practitioners that can add value to quality of life who are unknown and under-utilized to health care teams as there is little information about them and so few practice in RLTC. Purpose: To understand the older adults’ experiences working with the NCA and their role and the potential of this role within the RLTC sector. Sample/Methods: Interpretive Description was the method of inquiry and multiple case studies were used to explore the older adults’ experiences of working with an NCA about their incontinence. A purposive sample of three older adults who worked with an NCA were interviewed using a semi-structured process. Data were collected through 1:1 interviews with the older adults and 1 staff member, chart and supporting document reviews. Results: All three participants revealed intense impact of UI on their quality of life, overall day to day function and embarrassment. The involvement of the NCA was positive leading to significant improvements in UI for all three participants affecting their quality of life. The study revealed added value to having NCA involved in UI issues such as UI knowledge, consistent documentation and assessment and strategies to improve UI. Implications: This study revealed the need for the NCA role within the RLTC sector and provides a closer and personal understanding of the impact of UI on older adults. It provides novel insights from the older adults’ experiences towards the broader knowledge of the NCA role that will assist health care providers in gaining knowledge about ways that UI affects older adults’ living in RTLC.

description: We demonstrated doping in 2D monolayer graphene via local electrical stressing. The doping, confirmed by the resistance-voltage transfer characteristics of the graphene system, is observed to continuously tunable from N-type to P-type as the electrical stressing level (voltage) increases. Two major physical mechanisms are proposed to interpret the observed phenomena: modifications of surface chemistry for N-type doping (at low-level stressing) and thermally-activated charge transfer from graphene to SiO2 substrate for P-type doping (at high-level stressing). The formation of P-N junction on 2D graphene monolayer is demonstrated with complementary doping based on locally applied electrical stressing.

The antiferromagnetic critical pressure is 0.80 GPa, considerably higher than values previously reported. Complementary electrical resistivity measurements imply that the hidden order-antiferromagnetic bicritical point far exceeds 1.02 GPa. Moreover, the redefined pressure-temperature phase diagram suggests that the superconducting and antiferromagnetic phase boundaries actually meet at a common critical pressure at zero temperature.

description: We develop an inversion technique of annual scattered light curves to sketch a two-dimensional albedo map of exoplanets in face-on orbits. As a test-bed for future observations of extrasolar terrestrial planets, we apply this mapping technique to simulated light curves of a mock Earth-twin at a distance of 10 pc in a face-on circular orbit. A primary feature in recovered albedo maps traces the annual mean distribution of clouds. To extract information of other surface types, we attempt to reduce the cloud signal by taking difference of two bands. We find that the inversion of reflectivity difference between 0.8-0.9 and 0.4-0.5 micron bands roughly recover the continental distribution, except for high latitude regions persistently covered with clouds and snow. The inversion of the reflectivity difference across the red edge (0.8-0.9 and 0.6-0.7 micron) emphasizes the vegetation features near the equator. The planetary obliquity and equinox can be estimated simultaneously with the mapping under the presence of clouds. We conclude that the photometric variability of the scattered light will be a powerful means for exploring the habitat of a second Earth.

The initiation of alcoholic and/or malolactic fermentations : their effect on microbes conducting Chardonnay wine fermentation and on the resulting sensorial wine profile
Creators: name: Tantikachornkiat, Mansak
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are two important conversions that are involved in wine fermentation. Changes in wine microorganisms from these inoculations can modify the final wine characteristics, thus monitoring changes in microorganisms during these fermentations is necessary. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a technology that uses a culture independent technique to identify different species of fungi and bacteria from a sample. At present, when using this technique, it is difficult to distinguish between live and dead cells. The chemical, PMA, has been shown to bind DNA of dead cells, which prevents it from being amplified. In Chapter 2, the use of PMA were optimized, as a precursor to NGS, for accurate identification and quantification of yeast and bacterial species. In Chapter 3, the living microbial community were monitored in fermentations that differed in their yeast (S. cerevisiae) inoculation method (inoculated versus spontaneous) and their timing of bacterial (Oenococcus oeni) inoculation (inoculated during the same time of S. cerevisiae inoculation, post alcoholic fermentation, and uninoculated, which resulted in a spontaneous inoculation). Using this 2 x 3 factorial design, the effect of these factors on the strain and species relative abundance, diversity, and composition of yeast and bacteria were explored . A successful implantation (>80% relative abundance) of the S. cerevisiae inoculum were found, which resulted in changes in relative abundance for both yeast and bacterial populations and community composition as compared with spontaneous alcoholic fermentation (AF). The inoculation of the O. oeni MBR31 strain affected both bacterial communities and O. oeni strain composition with no apparent effect on yeast strain and species relative abundance, diversity and composition. An interactive effect was found, where the bacteria in spontaneous alcoholic fermentations (AF) as compared with those in inoculated AF were more easily influenced by O. oeni inoculations. Sensorial profiles indicated that inoculation of both O. oeni and S. cerevisiae changed final wine sensorial attributes. Different timing of O. oeni inoculation treatments resulted in a smaller change in the bacterial community and wine attributes compared with adding or not adding S. cerevisiae. Results suggest that fermentations without an addition of yeast inoculum had higher yeast species and strain diversity, which correlated with higher positive sensorial attributes of the wine, such as body, long finish, tropical fruit flavors as well as butter and vanilla aromas. Different timing of O. oeni inoculation affect O. oeni strain composition and bacterial species diversity and composition with no apparent correlation between microbial changes and the final wine sensorial profiles.

Syndapin and GTPase Rap-1 control endocytic recycling via RHO-1 and non-muscle myosin II
Creators: name: Rodriguez-Polanco, Wilmer R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: After the process of endocytosis, a substantial portion of plasma membrane components undergo recycling through the emergence of membrane tubules originating from early endosomes, ultimately culminating in the formation of recycling endosomes, and eventually being reinserted at the plasma membrane. Our previous investigations established the indispensability of Syndapin/PACSIN-family protein SDPN-1 in vivo for basolateral endocytic recycling within the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine. Within this context, we present evidence of an interaction between the SDPN-1 SH3 domain and a specific target sequence within PXF-1/PDZ-GEF1/RAPGEF2, a well-documented exchange factor responsible for modulating the activity of Rap-GTPases. Intriguingly, our observations reveal that engineered endogenous mutations introduced into either the SDPN-1 SH3 domain or its binding site within the PXF-1 protein cause disruptions in recycling processes in vivo. Moreover, loss of the PXF-1 target, RAP-1, also results in comparable defects to recycling. Given that Rap-GTPases have been implicated in the negative regulation of RhoA activity under certain circumstances, the potential regulatory role of Syndapin in RhoA activity modulation was suggested. Our investigations established residence of RHO-1/RhoA on SDPN-1 and RAP-1 positive endosomes in the C. elegans intestine. Notably, we found that the absence of either SDPN-1 or RAP-1 leads to increased levels of RHO-1(GTP) on intestinal endosomes. In further experiments we showed that regulation of RHO-1 activity was a pivotal mechanism by which SDPN-1 controls endocytic recycling, i.e. we found strong suppression of sdpn-1 mutants recycling defects upon RHO-1 depletion. RHO-1/RhoA is widely recognized for its established role in regulating cycles of actomyosin contraction. However, the involvement of non-muscle myosin II in endosomal dynamics remains relatively unexplored. Intriguingly, our comprehensive analysis reveals the enrichment of non-muscle myosin II on SDPN-1 positive endosomes, where two distinct isoforms of non-muscle myosin II heavy chain exhibit seemingly opposing activities. Depletion of nmy-2 yields recycling defects similar to sdpn-1 mutants, whereas the depletion of nmy-1 rescues recycling defects observed in sdpn-1 mutants. These collective findings underscore the key role of actomyosin contractility in governing the functional dynamics of recycling endosomes.

Variants for radially symmetric functions, or when r<=min{p,q}, are also obtained along the way.

description: In this paper, the numerical differentiation by integration method based on Jacobi polynomials originally introduced by Mboup, Fliess and Join is revisited in the central case where the used integration window is centered. Such method based on Jacobi polynomials was introduced through an algebraic approach and extends the numerical differentiation by integration method introduced by Lanczos. The here proposed method is used to estimate the $n^{th}$ ($n \in \mathbb{N}$) order derivative from noisy data of a smooth function belonging to at least $C^{n+1+q}$ $(q \in \mathbb{N})$. In the recent paper of Mboup, Fliess and Join, where the causal and anti-causal case were investigated, the mismodelling due to the truncation of the Taylor expansion was investigated and improved allowing a small time-delay in the derivative estimation. Here, for the central case, we show that the bias error is $O(h^{q+2})$ where $h$ is the integration window length for $f\in C^{n+q+2}$ in the noise free case and the corresponding convergence rate is $O(δ^{\frac{q+1}{n+1+q}})$ where $δ$ is the noise level for a well chosen integration window length. Numerical examples show that this proposed method is stable and effective.

description: The Karpathos water frog (Pelophylax cerigensis) is classified as Critically Endangered according to the IUCN Red List and its distribution is restricted on the island of Karpathos, South Aegean Sea. Utilizing a next generation sequencing approach, we obtained whole mitochondrial genomes of P. cerigensis to determine the species phylogenetic position within the genus Pelophylax and to clarify the phylogenetic relationship between the species’ population on Karpathos Island and the population of P. cf. bedriagae from the neighboring Rhodes Island. High-throughput sequencing generated mean ± SD = 227,945 ± 18,306 reads averaged per sample. High quality reads were assembled resulting in the complete mitogenome of P. cerigensis of a total size of 17,922 bp. Mitogenome organization was similar to other Pelophylax species, comprising of 13 Protein Coding Genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs and one Control Region. Overall mean genetic distance for the 13 PCGs, within the Ranidae family, ranged from 8.01% (COIII) to 11.6% (ATP8), while ratios of synonymous and non-synonymous substitutions were < 1 in all the 13 PCGs, indicating purifying selection. Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses based on the concatenated sequences of 13 PCGs and two rRNAs (12S and 16S), showed that individuals from Karpathos and Rhodes form a well-supported monophyletic group with low genetic distance between them (p-distance = 0.1%). Hence, the Rhodes populations seem to belong to P. cerigensis and not to P. bedriagae as formerly thought, highlighting the need for revision of P. cerigensis current conservation status as well as further examination of the P. bedriagae species group.

Soft band X/K luminosity ratios in late-type galaxies and constraints on the population of supersoft X-ray sources

description: We study X-ray to K-band luminosity ratios (L_X/L_K) of late-type galaxies in the 0.3-0.7 keV energy range. From the Chandra archive, we selected nine spiral and three irregular galaxies with point source detection sensitivity better than 5 x 10^36 erg/s in order to minimize the contribution of unresolved X-ray binaries. In late-type galaxies cold gas and dust may cause significant interstellar absorption, therefore we also demanded the existence of publicly available HI maps. The obtained L_X/L_K ratios vary between (5.4-68) x 10^27 erg/s/L_K,sun exceeding by factor of 2-20 the values obtained for gas-poor early-type galaxies. Based on these results we constrain the role of supersoft X-ray sources as progenitors of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). For majority of galaxies the upper limits range from ~3% to ~15% of the SN Ia frequency inferred from K-band luminosity, but for a few of them no meaningful constraints can be placed. On a more detailed level, we study individual structural components of spiral galaxies: bulge and disk, and, for grand design spiral galaxies, arm and interarm regions.

description: We investigate conditions under which a co-computably enumerable set in a computable metric space is computable. Using higher-dimensional chains and spherical chains we prove that in each computable metric space which is locally computable each co-computably enumerable sphere is computable and each co-c.e. cell with co-c.e. boundary sphere is computable.

description: Full counting statistics concerns the stochastic transport of electrons in mesoscopic structures. Recently it has been shown that the charge transport statistics for non-interacting electrons in a two-terminal system is always generalized binomial: it can be decomposed into independent single-particle events and the zeros of the generating function are real and negative. Here we investigate how the zeros of the generating function move into the complex plane due to interactions and demonstrate that the positions of the zeros can be detected using high-order factorial cumulants. As an illustrative example we consider electron transport through a Coulomb blockade quantum dot for which we show that the interactions on the quantum dot are clearly visible in the high-order factorial cumulants. Our findings are important for understanding the influence of interactions on counting statistics and the characterization in terms of zeros of the generating function provides us with a simple interpretation of recent experiments, where high-order statistics have been measured.
