description: Alleine durch Umkehrosmose (UO) kann hochammoniumhaltigen Deponiesickerwässer nicht ausreichend behandelt werden. Die mehrstufige Hochdruckmembrananlage (inklusiv UO und Nanofiltration (NF) Verfahren) für die Sickerwasseraufbereitung in Deponie Ihlenberg ergibt sich ein unzureichender Ammoniumrückhalt. In dieser Arbeit wurde die Nitrifikation in belüfteten Festbettreaktoren untersucht, um dieses Problem zu lösen. Mit dem NF-Permeat des UO-Retentats des Rohsickerwassers (mit 16 g/L Cl-, 45 mS/cm) wurden Nitrifikationseffizienzen über 97% bei Volumenbelastungsraten von ca. 1100 g NH4+-N/(m3∙d) bei 25°C erreicht. Basierend der Ergebnisse wurde eine Anlage im halb-technischen Maßstab am Deponie Ihlenberg konzeptioniert und in Betrieb genommen.
description: Landfill leachates containing high ammonia concentrations cannot be treated satisfactorily using reverse osmosis (RO) systems alone. In this work, leachate nitrification using aerated packed bed reactors was investigated to solve the problem of insufficient ammonia rejection faced by the multi-stage high pressure membrane system (comprising of RO and nanofiltration (NF) operations) treating the leachate at the Ihlenberg landfill site. Nitrification efficiencies greater than 97% were achieved with the NF permeate of RO retentate of raw leachate (having 16 g/L Cl-, 45 mS/cm) at loading rates of about 1100 g NH4+-N/(m3∙d) at 25°C. Based on the findings, a half-technical scale plant was conceptualised and commissioned at the Ihlenberg landfill site.
Aliquot sequences

description: Bibliography: p. 140-143.
description: It has been conjectured that aliquot sequences (i.e. those sequences obtained by iterating the number theoretic function s(n) = a(n)-n, where a(n) denotes the sum of the divisors) starting with an even number, are almost all unbounded. In this thesis, this conjecture is supported by both theory, and numerical evidence. A proof due to Lenstra that there exists sequences which are monotone increasing for an arbitrarily large number of terms is given. The concept of average order is used toestimate the behavior of s(n)/n and what theory is known is used to design a model for these sequences using Markov chains. A new method of factoring called POLLARD-RHO is then used to generate data and the statistics are compared with the theoretical estimates of the model. The final chapter contains extensive tables which enable one to determine the behavior of any sequence starting with a value of n less than 100000.
Impartial and partisan games

Subjects: subject: Game theory

description: Bibliography: p. 174.
description: Conway has recently developed a theory particularly well suited to the analysis of two-person games that are completely determined. Using this theory we consolidate some results due to Conway and Guy about the partisan game Col, as well as proving some new results for take and break games. In Chapter 4, the results obtained by Guy and Smith, and Kenyon for octal games are generalized to arbitrary take and break games. Chapter 5 discusses subtraction games. We show that all subtraction games are periodic, and prove that in certain circumstances it is possible to determine the period length exactly. We also state the rules, due to Conway and Guy respectively, for writing down the period of the games S(a,b), S(a,b,2b-a). Using Ferguson's Pairing Property, we give the analysis, again due to Conway and Guy, of S(a,b ,a+b). Chapter 6 deals with arithmetico-periodicity. Conway's proof that no octal game is arithmetico-periodic• is given. We prove new arithmetico-periodicity theorems for sedecimal and infinite recurring octal and tetral games. Chapter 7 contains Tables that list the G-sequence of certain types of games. With the exception of Table 7.7, the basis for these was provided by Guy. Table 7.1 was expanded by the author to include all subtraction games in which the subtrahends do not exceed 8. The games .55, .165, .356 and .644 were also solved by the author.

description: In recent years a new class of supersymmetric lattice theories have been proposed which retain one or more exact supersymmetries for non-zero lattice spacing. Recently there has been some controversy in the literature concerning whether these theories suffer from a sign problem. In this paper we address this issue by conducting simulations of the N=(2, 2) and N=(8, 8) supersymmetric Yang--Mills theories in two dimensions for the U(N) theories with N=2,3,4, using the new twisted lattice formulations. Our results provide evidence that these theories do not suffer from a sign problem in the continuum limit. These results thus boost confidence that the new lattice formulations can be used successfully to explore non-perturbative aspects of four-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory.

Mode expansion for the density profile of crystal-fluid interfaces: Hard spheres as a test case

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We present a technique for analyzing the full three-dimensional density profiles of a planar crystal-fluid interface in terms of density modes. These density modes can also be related to crystallinity order parameter profiles which are used in coarse-grained, phase field type models of the statics and dynamics of crystal-fluid interfaces and are an alternative to crystallinity order parameters extracted from simulations using local crystallinity criteria. We illustrate our results for the hard sphere system using finely-resolved, three-dimensional density profiles from density functional theory of fundamental measure type.

Does "misinformation" matter? Exploring the roles of technical and conceptual inaccuracies in a deliberative public engagement on biobanks
Creators: name: Wilcox, Elizabeth Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Science is increasingly affecting populations across the globe, and individuals and communities are growing more and more aware of the possible benefits and harms created by new technologies and changes in related policies. Prompted by inadequacies in representation, legitimacy, and trust, there is a need to increase public involvement in decisions regarding the development and implementation of science and technology. Due to claims that the public lacks the necessary knowledge to participate in these democratic processes, this thesis explores whether or not the presence of misinformation during deliberation undermines the usefulness of engaging publics for policy advice. The BC Biobank Deliberation brought together twenty-one individuals from across the province to explore the values and interests that ought to guide the governance of biobanks (repositories of annotated human biological materials often used as resources for research), and to test and evaluate a model for involving diverse publics in policy-making. As information related to biobanks is challenging to capture and disseminate, technical inaccuracies – those resulting from factual scientific or social information related to biobanking – and conceptual inaccuracies – those resulting from information considered to be outside the scope of biobanking, such as linking activities which are not facilitated by the existence of biobanks, to biobanks (e.g. cloning) – arose during deliberations. The analysis of this misinformation in the BC Biobank Deliberation seems to indicate that technical and conceptual inaccuracies play four main roles in deliberation: 1) no effect; 2) stall; 3) distraction; and 4) development. In general, when an overview of the scientific and social information related to the topic is provided during an engagement activity, participants who had little or no knowledge of the subject prior to being informed were able to deliberate on a variety of issues related to biobank governance. Findings indicate that in certain instances misinformation may help to develop deliberation, moving participants towards decision points related to biobank governance. This helps to show that scientific knowledge is not necessarily a prerequisite to participating in decision-making processes.

description: On 2010 October 13, the X-ray astronomical satellite Rossi XTE, during the observation of the newly discovered accretion powered X-ray pulsar IGR J17480--2446, detected a lunar occultation of the source. From knowledge of lunar topography and Earth, Moon, and spacecraft ephemeris at the epoch of the event, we determined the source position with an accuracy of 40 mas (1σ c.l.), which is interesting, given the very poor imaging capabilities of RXTE (\sim 1\circ). For the first time, using a non-imaging X-ray observatory, the position of an X-ray source with a subarcsecond accuracy is derived, demonstrating the neat capabilities of a technique that can be fruitfully applied to current and future X-ray missions.

description: The geometric bottleneck Steiner network problem on a set of vertices $X$ embedded in a normed plane requires one to construct a graph $G$ spanning $X$ and a variable set of $k\geq 0$ additional points, such that the length of the longest edge is minimised. If no other constraints are placed on $G$ then a solution always exists which is a tree. In this paper we consider the Euclidean bottleneck Steiner network problem for $k\leq 2$, where $G$ is constrained to be 2-connected. By taking advantage of relative neighbourhood graphs, Voronoi diagrams, and the tree structure of block cut-vertex decompositions of graphs, we produce exact algorithms of complexity $O(n^2)$ and $O(n^2\log n)$ for the cases $k=1$ and $k=2$ respectively. Our algorithms can also be extended to other norms such as the $L_p$ planes.

description: Increasing requirements in the sensitivity of interferometric measurements is a common feature of several research fields, from gravitational wave detection to quantum optics. This motivates refined studies of high reflectivity mirrors and of noise sources that are tightly related to their structure. In this work we present an experimental characterization of photothermal and thermo-refractive effects in high reflectivity mirrors, i.e., of the variations in the position of their effective reflection plane due to weak residual power absorption. The measurements are performed by modulating the impinging power in the range 10 Hz $÷$ 100 kHz. The experimental results are compared with an expressly derived theoretical model in order to fully understand the phenomena and exploit them to extract useful effective thermo-mechanical parameters of the coating. The measurements are extended at cryogenic temperature, where most high sensitivity experiments are performed (or planned in future versions) and where characterizations of dielectric film coatings are still poor.

description: In the context of discrete Morse theory, we introduce Morse frames, which are maps that associate a set of critical simplexes to all simplexes. The main example of Morse frames are the Morse references. In particular, these Morse references allow computing Morse complexes, an important tool for homology. We highlight the link between Morse references and gradient flows. We also propose a novel presentation of the Annotation algorithm for persistent cohomology, as a variant of a Morse frame. Finally, we propose another construction, that takes advantage of the Morse reference for computing the Betti numbers in mod 2 arithmetic.

description: A Temperley-Lieb algebra is extracted from the operator structure of a new class of $N^{2}\times N^{2}$ braid matrices presented and studied in previous papers and designated as $S\hat{O}_{(q)}(N)$, $S\hat{p}%_{(q)}(N)$ for the q-deformed orthogonal and symplectic cases respectively. Spin chain Hamiltonians are derived from such braid matrices and the corresponding chains are studied. Time evolutions of the chains and the possibility of transition of data encoded in the parameters of mixed states from one end to the other are analyzed. The entanglement entropies $% S(q,N)$ of eigenstates of the crucial operator, namely the q-dependent $% N^{2}\times N^{2}$ projector $P_{0}$ appearing in the corresponding Hamiltonian are obtained. Study of entanglements generated under the actions of \ $S\hat{O}(N)$, $S\hat{p}(N)$ braid operators, unitarized with imaginary rapidities is presented as a perspective.

description: Episodic mass loss is not understood theoretically, neither accounted for in state-of-the-art models of stellar evolution, which has far-reaching consequences for many areas of astronomy. We present the status and results of the ERC-funded ASSESS project (2018-2024), which aims to determine whether episodic mass loss is a dominant process in the evolution of the most massive stars, by conducting the first extensive, multi-wavelength survey of evolved massive stars in the nearby Universe. It hinges on the fact that mass-losing stars form dust and are bright in the mid-infrared. We aim to derive physical parameters of ~1000 dusty, evolved massive stars in ~25 nearby galaxies and estimate the amount of ejected mass, which will constrain evolutionary models, and quantify the duration and frequency of episodic mass loss as a function of metallicity. The approach involves selecting dusty, luminous targets from existing multi-band photometry of nearby galaxies. We present an overview of the spectroscopic survey, the machine-learning classifier for evolved massive stars, the modeling that is underway and the mass-loss rate of red supergiants determined in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The emerging trend for the ubiquity of episodic mass loss, if confirmed, will be key to understanding the explosive early Universe and will have profound consequences for low-metallicity stars, reionization, and the chemical evolution of galaxies.

description: We report on new Suzaku and XMM-Newton results concerning HESS J1614-518, which is one of the brightest extended TeV gamma-ray sources and has two regions with intense gamma-ray emission. We newly observed the south and center regions of HESS J1614-518 with Suzaku, since the north region, including the position of the 1st brightest peak of the TeV gamma-ray emission, has already been observed. No X-ray counterpart was found at the position of the 2nd brightest peak of the TeV gamma-ray emission; we estimated the upper limit of the X-ray flux to be 1.6 \times 10^{-13} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} in the 2-10 keV band. The soft X-ray source Suzaku J1614-5152, which was found at the edge of the field of view in a previous observation, was also detected at the middle of HESS J1614-518. Analyzing the XMM-Newton archival data, we revealed that Suzaku J1614-5152 consists of multiple point sources. The X-ray spectrum of the brightest point source, XMMU J161406.0-515225, can be described by a power-law model with a photon index of Gamma = 5.2^{+0.6}_{-0.5}, or a blackbody model with temperature kT = 0.38^{+0.04}_{-0.04} keV. In the blackbody model, the hydrogen-equivalent column density is almost the same as that of the hard extended X-ray emission, Suzaku J1614-5141, which was found at the 1st peak position. If true, XMMU J161406.0-515225 may be physically related to Suzaku J1614-5141 and HESS J1614-518.

description: The data from the Gaia satellite led us to revise our conception of the Galaxy structure and history. Hitherto unknown components have been discovered and a deep re-thinking of what the Galactic halo is is in progress. We selected from the Gaia catalogue stars with extreme transverse velocities with respect to the Sun ($|V_T| > 500 $ and observed them with FORS2 at the ESO VLT, to classify them using both their chemical and dynamical properties. Two apparently young stars, identified in paper\,I, were observed with UVES. We derived abundances for Na, Mg, Ca, Ti, Mn, and Fe, analysing the spectra with while for Ba we used line profile fitting. We computed actions from parallaxes and kinematical data. The stars span the metallicity range $ Fe/H -0.5$ with $ Fe/H = -1.6$. Star GHS143 has a total speed of about 1440 which is almost three times faster than the local escape velocity of 522 strongly implying this star is unbound to the Galaxy. Remarkably, this star is not escaping from the Galaxy, but it is falling into it. Ten stars are apparently young with masses in excess of 1.3M. Their interpretation as evolved blue stragglers is doubtful. The existence of a young metal-poor population is possible. The two stars observed with UVES show no lithium, suggesting they are blue stragglers. We detected a metal-poor population, confined to the bulge, that we call SpiteF, and argue that it is the result of a recent accretion event. We detect 102 candidates of the Aurora population that should have formed prior to the formation of the disc. Our sample is non-homogeneous and mainly retrograde. The stars are metal poor, and 23 have Fe/H -2.0$. Our selection is efficient at finding very metal-poor stars, but it selects peculiar populations.

description: In dieser Arbeit werden verschiedene Optimierungsansätze für CPU-basierte HiL-Simulationen betrachtet. Das Ziel ist die Entwicklung eines in Bezug auf die Echtzeitfähigkeit optimierten Lösungsalgorithmus mit automatischer Schrittweitenwahl. Die Optimierung erfolgt modellorientiert und richtet sich nach den individuellenModelleigenschaften. Das Optimierungsverfahren evaluiert das Modell bei jeder Änderung der Modellparameter und ist daher parameterabhängig gestaltet. Die Betrachtung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Modelleigenschaften und Lösungsstabilität ermöglicht dem Lösungsalgorithmus ein stabiles Lösungsverfahren und eine echtzeitfähige Schrittweite zu wählen. Dafür werden außerdem mögliche Fehlerquellen der Simulation miteinbezogen. Auch eine laufende Anpassung für verschiedene Betriebszustände wird betrachtet. Für dieModelldefinition gilt es, eine allgemeine Darstellungsformzu finden, mit welcher sichModelle von unterschiedlicher Komplexität abbilden lassen. Für die Validierung des entwickelten Algorithmus wird die Umsetzung in C++ vorgestellt. Als Anwendungsbeispiel dient eine parallele HiL-Simulation zur Prüfung automobiler Steuergeräte. Die Simulation besteht aus einer parallelen Ausführung von Hardware- und Software-Simulation mit heterogenen Aufgaben in unterschiedlichen Zeitbereichen.

description: In this paper, we revisit generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) model as a unified dark matter and dark energy model. The energy density of GCG model is given as $ρ_{GCG}/ρ_{GCG0}=[B_{s}+(1-B_{s})a^{-3(1+α)}]^{1/(1+α)}$, where $α$ and $B_s$ are two model parameters which will be constrained by type Ia supernova as standard candles, baryon acoustic oscillation as standard rulers and the seventh year full WMAP data points. In this paper, we will not separate GCG into dark matter and dark energy parts any more as adopted in the literatures. By using Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, we find the result: $α=0.00126_{- 0.00126- 0.00126}^{+ 0.000970+ 0.00268}$ and $B_s= 0.775_{- 0.0161- 0.0338}^{+ 0.0161+ 0.0307}$.

Discussion of "Bayesian Models and Methods in Public Policy and Government Settings" by S. E. Fienberg
Creators: name: Hand, David J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Fienberg convincingly demonstrates that Bayesian models and methods represent a powerful approach to squeezing illumination from data in public policy settings. However, no school of inference is without its weaknesses, and, in the face of the ambiguities, uncertainties, and poorly posed questions of the real world, perhaps we should not expect to find a formally correct inferential strategy which can be universally applied, whatever the nature of the question: we should not expect to be able to identify a "norm" approach. An analogy is made between George Box's "no models are right, but some are useful," and inferential systems [arXiv:1108.2177].

The development of hypoxia activated DNA repair inhibitors
Creators: name: Lindquist, Kirstin Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The human body’s vast network of blood vessels provides oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, however hypoxic cells (cells with lower than normal physiological oxygen levels) are found in human tumours. Hypoxic cells are resistant to ionizing radiation and therefore are an impediment to the effectiveness of radiotherapy. Ionizing radiation kills cells by causing DNA damage; the principal lethal lesion formed is the DNA double strand break (DSB). This work concerns the development of a hypoxia activated DNA repair inhibitor prodrug. The specific target of the prodrug is a critical DSB repair enzyme of the non-homologous end joining pathway (NHEJ), called DNA dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). This work concerns the development of pharmaceutical screening tools for agents that act as radiosensitizers of oxic and hypoxic cells. These tools were then used to demonstrate that DNA-PK deficiency can sensitize hypoxic mammalian cells to the effects of ionizing radiation, and that 2-nitroimidazole derivatives of the DNA-PK inhibitor IC86621 cellbased screening results from hypoxia activated DNA repair inhibitors that display hypoxia selective radiosensitization of CB.17 murine embryonic fibroblast and HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells.
Score, Pseudo-Score and Residual Diagnostics for Spatial Point Process Models

description: We develop new tools for formal inference and informal model validation in the analysis of spatial point pattern data. The score test is generalized to a "pseudo-score" test derived from Besag's pseudo-likelihood, and to a class of diagnostics based on point process residuals. The results lend theoretical support to the established practice of using functional summary statistics, such as Ripley's $K$-function, when testing for complete spatial randomness; and they provide new tools such as the compensator of the $K$-function for testing other fitted models. The results also support localization methods such as the scan statistic and smoothed residual plots. Software for computing the diagnostics is provided.

description: The Gaia satellite has already provided the astronomical community with three data releases, and the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) on board Gaia has provided the radial velocity for 33 million stars. When deriving the radial velocity from the RVS spectra, several stars are measured to have large values. To verify the credibility of these measurements, we selected some bright stars with the modulus of radial velocity in excess of 500\ to be observed with SOPHIE at OHP and UVES at VLT. This paper is devoted to investigating the chemical composition of the stars observed with UVES. We derived atmospheric parameters using Gaia photometry and parallaxes, and we performed a chemical analysis using the code. We find that the sample consists of metal-poor stars, although none have extremely low metallicities. The abundance patterns match what has been found in other samples of metal-poor stars selected irrespective of their radial velocities. We highlight the presence of three stars with low Cu and Zn abundances that are likely descendants of pair-instability supernovae. Two stars are apparently younger than 1\,Ga, and their masses exceed twice the turn-off mass of metal-poor populations. This makes it unlikely that they are blue stragglers because it would imply they formed from triple or multiple systems. We suggest instead that they are young metal-poor stars accreted from a dwarf galaxy. Finally, we find that the star RVS721 is associated with the Gjoll stream, which itself is associated with the Globular Cluster NGC\,3201.

description: There are many music experiences for people with dementia and their caregivers including but not limited to individualized playlists, music and singing groups, dementia-inclusive choirs and concerts, and music therapy. While the benefits of these music experiences have been well documented, an understanding of the differences between them is often absent. However, knowledge of and distinction between these experiences are crucial to people with dementia and their family members, caregivers, and health practitioners to ensure a comprehensive music approach to dementia care is provided. Considering the array of music experiences available, choosing the most appropriate music experience can be challenging. This is an exploratory phenomenological study with significant Public and Patient Involvement (PPI). Through consultation with PPI contributors with dementia via an online focus group and senior music therapists working in dementia care via online semi-structured interviews, this paper aims to identify these distinctions and to address this challenge by providing a visual step-by-step guide. This guide can be consulted when choosing an appropriate music experience for a person with dementia living in the community.
Stellar populations of classical and pseudo-bulges for a sample of isolated spiral galaxies
Creators: name: Zhao, Yinghe
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we present the stellar population synthesis results for a sample of 75 bulges in isolated spiral Sb-Sc galaxies, using the spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the STARLIGHT code. We find that both pseudo-bulges and classical bulges in our sample are predominantly composed of old stellar populations, with mean mass-weighted stellar age around 10 Gyr. While the stellar population of pseudo-bulges is, in general, younger than that of classical bulges, the difference is not significant, which indicates that it is hard to distinguish pseudo-bulges from classical bulges, at least for these isolated galaxies, only based on their stellar populations. Pseudo-bulges have star formation activities with relatively longer timescale than classical bulges, indicating that secular evolution is more important in this kind of systems. Our results also show that pseudo-bulges have a lower stellar velocity dispersion than their classical counterparts, which suggests that classical bulges are more dispersion-supported than pseudo-bulges.
