description: In M-theory, the only AdS_7 supersymmetric solutions are AdS_7 x S^4 and its orbifolds. In this paper, we find and classify new supersymmetric solutions of the type AdS_7 x M_3 in type II supergravity. While in IIB none exist, in IIA with Romans mass (which does not lift to M-theory) there are many new ones. We use a pure spinor approach reminiscent of generalized complex geometry. Without the need for any Ansatz, the system determines uniquely the form of the metric and fluxes, up to solving a system of ODEs. Namely, the metric on M_3 is that of an S^2 fibered over an interval; this is consistent with the Sp(1) R-symmetry of the holographically dual (1,0) theory. By including D8 brane sources, one can numerically obtain regular solutions, where topologically M_3 = S^3.

Fate of biodegradable disposables in high-solids anaerobic digestion followed by hydrothermal liquefaction
Creators: Niknejad, Parisa
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

To address the growing concern of environmental sustainability and waste management,

recent research efforts have been dedicated to investigating innovative methods for the

treatment and conversion of biodegradable disposables and bioplastics. These studies delve into

the potential of high solid anaerobic digestion (HSAD) followed by hydrothermal liquefaction

(HTL) as integrated processes to facilitate the transformation of these materials. However,

several fundamental and engineering bottlenecks are associated with their practical application.

To date, limited information is available on the fate of bioplastics during HSAD and HTL

process. Thus, this thesis aims to address these research gaps by investigating the degradability

of bioplastics during HSAD and their subsequent degradation during HTL under various

operating conditions.

First, the biodegradability and transformation of biodegradable disposables through an

integrated process of HSAD followed by HTL was investigated. During the HSAD phase, the

paper-based disposables demonstrated efficient degradation. Conversely, compostable plastic

bags and utensils showed resistance to degradation, leading to a reduction of 29.5% and 8.99%,

respectively, in methane yield compared to the control group. However, the HTL process

exhibited promising results, as it was able to completely convert the undegraded plastic bags

and utensils present in the HSAD digestate into biocrude. This transformation significantly

lowered the potential environmental risks associated with bioplastic pollution from digestate

application on land. Furthermore, by increasing the HTL temperature from 280 to 350˚C, the

yield and quality of biocrude, particularly in terms of heavy oil content, were improved.

Second, the co-digestion of bioplastics and source-separated organic waste (SSO) using

an integrated approach involving HSAD and followed by HTL under various operating

conditions at 280 °C, 330 °C, and 370 °C was explored. During the HSAD process, bioplastics

underwent fragmentation, resulting in a notable reduction in methane recovery. Nonetheless,

the HTL process proved to be highly effective in completely converting bioplastics, thereby

mitigating the potential environmental risks associated with bioplastic pollution. Experimental

observations indicated that an increase in temperature from 280 to 330 °C led to a higher weight

percentage of biocrude. However, when the temperature was further increased from 330 to

370 °C, both the weight percentage of biocrude and hydrochar decreased, while the weight

percentage of total gas showed a peak rise. At a temperature of 330 °C, the maximum higher

heating value for bioplastics was achieved, surpassing that of the control group.

description: We study the physics of Kaluza-Klein (KK) top quarks in the framework of a non-minimal Universal Extra Dimension (nmUED) with an orbifolded (S1/Z2) flat extra spatial dimension in the presence of brane-localized terms (BLTs). In general, BLTs affect the masses and the couplings of the KK excitations in a non-trivial way including those for the KK top quarks. On top of that, BLTs also influence the mixing of the top quark chiral states at each KK level and trigger mixings among excitations from different levels with identical KK parity (even or odd). The latter phenomenon of mixing of KK levels is not present in the popular UED scenario known as the minimal UED (mUED) at the tree level. Of particular interest are the mixings among the KK top quarks from level `0' and level `2' (driven by the mass of the Standard Model (SM) top quark). These open up new production modes in the form of single production of a KK top quark and the possibility of its direct decays to Standard Model (SM) particles leading to rather characteristic signals at the colliders. Experimental constraints and the restrictions they impose on the nmUED parameter space are discussed. The scenario is implemented in MadGraph 5 by including the quark, lepton, the gauge-boson and the Higgs sectors up to the second KK level. A few benchmark scenarios are chosen for preliminary studies of the decay patterns of the KK top quarks and their production rates at the LHC in various different modes. Recast of existing experimental analyzes in scenarios having similar states is found to be not so straightforward for the KK top quarks of the nmUED scenario under consideration.

description: We study central extensions of the Lie superalgebra $sl_{m|n}(A)$, where $A$ is a $Z/2Z$-graded superalgebra over a commutative ring $K$. The Steinberg Lie superalgebra $st_{m|n}(A)$ plays a crucial role. We show that $st_{m|n}(A)$ is a central extension of $sl_{m|n}(A)$ for $m+n\geq 3$. We use a $Z/2Z$-graded version of cyclic homology to show that the center of the extension is isomorphic to $HC_1(A)$ as $K$-modules. For $m+n\geq 5$, we prove that $st_{m|n}(A)$ is the universal central extension of $sl_{m|n}(A)$. For $m+n=3,4$, we prove that $st_{2|1}(A)$ and $st_{3|1}(A)$ are both centrally closed. The universal central extension of $st_{2|2}(A)$ is constructed explicitly.

Eine fachdidaktische Evaluierung dieser Angebote hat bereits in Teilen etwa in Bezug auf die mathematische Lernförderlichkeit (Leuders, 2019) oder auf motivationale und affektive Merkmale (Reinhold et al., 2021) stattgefunden. Darüber hinaus werden weitere systematische Analysen von regelmäßig eingesetzten digitalen Medien benötigt, die zeigen, wie diese das mathematische Lernen von Schüler*innen sinnvoll bereichern können (Bakker, 2018).

description: Spätestens mit dem Strategiepapier „Bildung in der digitalen Welt“ (KMK, 2017) ist der Bedarf an Lernumgebungen, die den Umgang mit digitalen Werkzeugen fördern und damit digitale Bildung ermöglichen, hinreichend begründet. Die ICILS-Studien 2018 zeigen zudem auf, dass das Computational Thinking (CT) bei deutschen Schüler*innen im Sekundarbereich durchaus ausbaufähig ist (Eickelmann et al., 2019). Studien mit jüngeren Kindern machen außerdem deutlich, dass das CT bereits in der Grundschule gefördert werden kann (z. B. Caballero Gonzalez et al., 2019). Die Förderung des CT kann dabei nicht nur im Sachunterricht, sondern auch im Mathematikunterricht erfolgen, da viele Aufgaben auch mathematische Kompetenzen wie das räumliche Vorstellungsvermögen oder die geometrische Begriffsbildung fokussieren können. Im Rahmen des Design-Based-Research-Ansatzes (z.B. Prediger et al., 2012) wurde im Rahmen der vorgestellten Studie eine Lernumgebung für Grundschulkinder ab Klasse 3 mit dem digitalen Werkzeug Blue-Bot entwickelt und im Hinblick auf die Förderung von Teilkomponenten des CT evaluiert.

description: We describe the completed VIMOS VLT Deep Survey, and the final data release of 35016 galaxies and type-I AGN with measured spectroscopic redshifts up to redshift z~6.7, in areas 0.142 to 8.7 square degrees, and volumes from 0.5x10^6 to 2x10^7h^-3Mpc^3. We have selected samples of galaxies based solely on their i-band magnitude reaching i_{AB}=24.75. Spectra have been obtained with VIMOS on the ESO-VLT, integrating 0.75h, 4.5h and 18h for the Wide, Deep, and Ultra-Deep nested surveys. A total of 1263 galaxies have been re-observed independently within the VVDS, and from the VIPERS and MASSIV surveys. They are used to establish the redshift measurements reliability, to assess completeness, and to provide a weighting scheme taking into account the survey selection function. We describe the main properties of the VVDS samples, and the VVDS is compared to other spectroscopic surveys. In total we have obtained spectroscopic redshifts for 34594 galaxies, 422 type-I AGN, and 12430 Galactic stars. The survey has enabled to identify galaxies up to very high redshifts with 4669 redshifts in 1<=z_{spec}<=2, 561 in 2<=z_{spec}<=3 and 468 with z_{spec}>3, and specific populations like LAE have been identified out to z=6.62. We show that the VVDS occupies a unique place in the parameter space defined by area, depth, redshift coverage, and number of spectra. The VVDS provides a comprehensive survey of the distant universe, covering all epochs since z, or more than 12 Gyr of cosmic time, with a uniform selection, the largest such sample to date. A wealth of science results derived from the VVDS have shed new light on the evolution of galaxies and AGN, and their distribution in space, over this large cosmic time. A final public release of the complete VVDS spectroscopic redshift sample is available at http://cesam.lam.fr/vvds.

We have studied extensively the detailed feature of reheating constraints and the cosmophenomenological consequences of thermal gravitino dark matter in light of PLANCK and PDG data. Finally we have also established a direct cosmological connection among dark matter relic abundance, reheating temperature and tensor-to-scalar ratio in the context of DBI Galileon inflation.

Pelletization and Thermo-Catalytic Reforming of Municipal Solid Waste
Creators: Martinez Castellanos, Benjamin M
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement requires society to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions levels in every sector. Waste management has a key role in achieving these objectives and is fundamental for sustainable growth. Some municipal solid waste (MSW) streams have the potential for waste-to-energy conversion, thereby increasing the waste diversion rate. Thermo-catalytic reforming (TCR) is a conversion method based on pyrolysis that allows the conversion of an organic feedstock into valuable products like bio-oil, biochar, and syngas. TCR requires a homogeneous feedstock that can be produced through pelletization. There is very little information available on utilization of different components of MSW streams for production of liquid fuel production using TCR. This research work is an effort to address this gap.

The first part of this study focuses on the size reduction and pelletization of fractions of the municipal solid waste, that is, digestate, source-separated organics (SSO), and refuse-derived fuel (RDF). The effect of particle size and moisture content in the grinding and pelletization was assessed at a laboratory scale. While the digestate could not be pelletized, SSO and RDF pellets were successfully produced. The highest pellet durability values were 98.2 % for RDF and 97.4 % for SSO. The specific energy consumption for grinding and pelletization was as low as 2281.15 KJ/kg for RDF and 489.49 KJ/kg for SSO. The RDF pellets showed a high heating value (HHV) of 21.5 MJ/kg and an ash content of 9.8 %. Seasonal variation was observed in the SSO pellets, with a lower HHV (13.9 MJ/kg) and higher ash content (34.7 %) during the spring/summer seasons and a higher HHV (19.5 MJ/kg) and lower ash content (13.51 %) during the winter season.

In the second part of this study, a 2 kg/h lab scale TCR unit was used to investigate the thermo-catalytic reforming of SSO pellets. Two pyrolysis reactor temperatures (400 °C and 500 °C) and three post-reformer temperatures (500 °C, 600 °C, and 650 °C) were used to study the effects of process temperature on product yields and characteristics. At higher process temperatures of 500 °C in the reactor and 650 °C in the reformer, the highest energy conversion efficiency of 92.37 % was achieved. These conditions also yielded a higher syngas production of 42.79 % with an HHV of 19.13 MJ/kg. Higher temperatures resulted in lower bio-oil yields of 2.11 % but improved quality, that is, the viscosity, oxygen content, and total acid number were reduced. Lower process temperatures resulted in a maximum bio-oil yield of 6.20 % with an HHV of 37.2 MJ/kg. The effect of temperature on bio-oil characteristics was also examined. Biochar had an HHV of 9.25 to 10.24 MJ/kg and a yield between 41.17 % and 46.25 %. The information developed in this research can help in understanding the potential pathways of utilization of MSW for liquid and gaseous fuel production.

description: In this article we derive the average and the variance of the cross-correlation of a noise wavefield. The noise cross-correlation function (NCF) is widely used to passively estimate the Green's function between two probes and is proportional to the cross density of states (CDOS) in photonic and plasmonic systems. We first explain from the ladder approximation how the diffusion halo plays the role of secondary sources to reconstruct the mean Green's function. We then show that fluctuations of NCF are governed by several non-Gaussian correlations. An infinite-range NCF correlation dominates CDOS fluctuations and proves that NCF is not a self averaging quantity with respect to the plurality of noise sources. The link between these correlations and the intensity ones is highlighted.

description: Aktivitäten mit Darstellungen sind wesentlich für das Mathematiktreiben und damit auch für das Mathematiklernen. Mathematisches Darstellen ist darüber hinaus auch beim Kommunizieren über Mathematik oder zum Aufbau tragfähiger Vorstellungen zentral. Ohne Aktivitäten an und mit Darstellungen oder das Wechseln zwischen Darstellungs- bzw. Zeichensystemen ist mathematisches Handeln nicht möglich. Darstellen kann somit als eine Schlüsselkompetenz bei der Bewältigung mathematischer Lernprozesse von Kindern und Jugendlichen angesehen werden. Dabei sind Darstellungen in allen Schulformen wesentlich für das Lernen und Lehren von Mathematik.
Child of Nature: Wilderness, Myth, and Childhood in Middle-Grade Fantasy
Creators: Parrila, Sofia A
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Childhood forms the basis for a lifetime of ecological interaction. Due to many contemporary ecological challenges, including the threat of climate change, children today grow up with complex relationships to the environment. However, there remains relatively little scholarship on recent novels for preteens dealing with ecological themes. This thesis aims to further scholarship on children’s literature by applying an ecocritical lens to three representative middle-grade fantasy series published in the first decade of the twenty-first century: Patrick Carman’s The Land of Elyon series (2005-2008), Isobelle Carmody’s Little Fur series (2005-2008), and Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (2005-2009). These texts, all marketed to children aged approximately 9-12, were all international bestsellers, and all prominently feature depictions of environmentalist awakenings in their protagonists. How does middle-grade fantasy use magic and mythology to contextualize ecological conflict for children? What is the role of the child in this conflict? Finally, how do these texts construct childhood in relation to nature? I argue that texts for and about the liminal age between child and teenager are uniquely situated to explore the simultaneous elusiveness and necessity of human bonds with non-human beings. All three texts appeal to an assumed affinity between child and wild, drawing on children’s experiences of alienation with the adult world to build sympathy between children as a class and the marginalized figures—animals, plants, and nature spirits—that inhabit the natural world. The mythological and speculative elements in these novels dramatize and foreground environmental agency, and orient child readers towards recognizing and defending the “real magic” of the ecosystems around them, with the aim of educating children into ecological awareness. These novels use fantastical elements to portray children as natural allies of the environment, and specifically this affinity for nature places children at the centre of ecological crises.

Window of opportunity: examining gray wolf (Canis lupus) diets and seasonal patterns of predation on wood bison (Bison bison athabascae)
Creators: Dewart, Lindsey
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Prey selection by predators is a complex process, with acquisition strategies varying between generalists and specialists. However, generalist predators like wolves (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758), can select prey in response to increases in abundance or vulnerability of the prey, often influenced by environmental conditions. In multi-prey systems that include bison (Bison bison Linnaeus, 1758), this is not always the case, as wolves will often select less dangerous prey. To investigate the predator-prey relationship between wolves and a small (~275 – 300 individuals) Threatened herd of wood bison (Bison bison athabascae Linnaeus, 1758) in northeast Alberta, Canada, I monitored location data from global positioning system (GPS) collars affixed to both species for one year. I evaluated seasonal differences in wolf diet, the effect of temporal variables on relative bison predation risk by wolves, and space use relative to bison for three wolf packs whose territories overlapped with the bison herd’s home range. I used wolf GPS collar data to find and investigate wolf location cluster sites for prey remains and collected wolf scat to assess seasonal diets. I used consecutive winter days as a measure of winter duration along with daily measures of temperature and snow depth to assess how relative bison predation risk changes through the winter season. Further, I assessed seasonal differences in wolf movements relative to bison to decipher whether wolves were opportunistically preying on bison or actively selecting for them during times of greater bison vulnerability. Seasonal changes in prey selection from beaver (Castor canadensis Kuhl, 1820) in summer (77%) to cervids (white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Zimmerman, 1780) and moose (Alces alces Linnaeus, 1758)) in winter (70%) was consistent with other boreal systems. Wolves began preying on wood bison later in winter when snow depths exceeded 30 cm. While wolves were within the bison range, they spent significantly more time in areas highly frequented by bison in late winter relative to early winter. This suggests that wood bison predation risk is higher with longer winter durations and deeper snow depths that make them more vulnerable, and wolves respond to the vulnerability of this profitable, but rarely obtainable prey source.

description: We study spherically symmetric soliton solutions in a model with a conformally coupled scalar field as well as in full conformal gravity. We observe that a new type of limiting behaviour appears for particular choices of the self-coupling of the scalar field, i.e. the solitons interpolate smoothly between the Anti-de Sitter vacuum and an uncharged configuration. Furthermore, within conformal gravity the qualitative approach of a limiting solution does not change when varying the charge of the scalar field - contrary to the Einstein-Hilbert case. However, it changes with the scalar self-coupling.

A Closer Look at Weak Supervision’s Limitations in WSI Recurrence Score Prediction
Creators: Guruprasad, Namitha

Year: 2023

Histological examination and derived ancillary testing remain the gold standard for breast cancer diagnosis, prognosis assessment and treatment guidance. Currently, a commercial molecular signature test OncotypeDX®, based on RNA quantitation and providing a recurrence score (RS) ranging from 0 to 100, is routinely utilized for luminal breast cancers (the largest sub-type group of breast cancers) to predict the probabilities of response to chemotherapy and disease recurrence. We attempt to predict RS using digital pathology and Weakly Supervised (WS) attention-based models. In tissue samples, the malignant component is haphazardly admixed with the non-malignant component in variable proportions. This represents a challenge for WS attention-based models to identify high-valued diagnostic/prognostic areas within whole slide images (WSIs). To address this, we propose an interactive, supervised approach with a human in the middle by creating a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows an expert pathologist to annotate heatmaps generated by any WS attention-based model. We aim to enhance the model’s learning capabilities and performance by incorporating the feedback from the GUI as expected scores in the successive training process. We train WS attention-based models like CLAM (Clustering-constrained Attention Multiple Instance Learning) and TransMIL (Transformer based Correlated Multiple Instance Learning) on our in-house dataset before and after the expert feedback. We observe an improvement in RS prediction after retraining both models with the pathologist’s annotation- a 5% rise in validation-test AUC and 4% in validation-test accuracy for CLAM and a 4.5% increase in validation-test AUC and 3% in validation-test accuracy for TransMIL. We analyze the generated heatmaps and observe how additional supervision from a domain expert enhances the learning capacity of the models. We notice an improvement in cosine similarity between the pathologist’s GUI-based attention scores and trained models’ attention maps after feedback - 5% and 10% increase for CLAM and TransMIL, respectively. Our adaptive, interactive system harmonizes attention scores with expert intuition and instills higher confidence in the system’s predictions. This study establishes a potent synergy between AI and expert collaboration, addressing the constraints of WS by enhancing the discrimination of diagnostic features and making an effort to generate predictions according to clinical diagnostic norms.

description: Mittlerweile gehören Fundamentale Ideen zu tradierten Inhalten mathematikdidaktischer Theoriebildung und es liegt eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Konzeptionen vor, die sowohl im logischen als auch im prototypischen Begriffsverständnis variieren (vgl. Whitehead, Bruner, Fischer, Bender/Schreiber, Schweiger, Vohns u.v.a. – Überblick bei von der Bank, 2016). SCHWEIGER sieht gerade darin eine Chance – für den Unterricht: „Das Finden eines individuellen Katalogs, der auch immer wieder revidiert werden kann, könnte ein lohnender Teil der den Unterricht begleitenden didaktischen Reflexion sein […]“ (Schweiger, 2010, S. 1). Eine Aufgabe der Fachdidaktik ist also, theoriebasierte Vorschläge zu machen, aus denen Lehrpersonen mit Blick auf den eigenen Unterricht und für die dort agierenden Personen eine stimmige Auswahl treffen können. Ein Weg zur Etablierung einer fachdidaktisch tradierten Theorie im Unterrichtsalltag.

description: Concentrated suspensions may shear-thin when the suspended particles form planar sheets that slide over one another with less friction than if the particles are randomly distributed. In a naïve model the suspension is described by a mean effective viscosity, and particles that collide with each other redistribute the mean density in the shearing direction. This leads to a diffusion equation for the particle density. If the viscosity in the unthinned state is a steeply increasing function of particle density the effective diffusion coefficient is negative and the diffusion equation, meaningful only on scales larger than the particle separation, is ill-posed. This singularity corresponds to the formation of planar sheets of particles and defines a critical particle density for the onset of shear thinning.

description: Software Product Lines (SPL) are inherently difficult to test due to the combinatorial explosion of the number of products to consider. To reduce the number of products to test, sampling techniques such as combinatorial interaction testing have been proposed. They usually start from a feature model and apply a coverage criterion (e.g. pairwise feature interaction or dissimilarity) to generate tractable, fault-finding, lists of configurations to be tested. Prioritization can also be used to sort/generate such lists, optimizing coverage criteria or weights assigned to features. However, current sampling/prioritization techniques barely take product behavior into account. We explore how ideas of statistical testing, based on a usage model (a Markov chain), can be used to extract configurations of interest according to the likelihood of their executions. These executions are gathered in featured transition systems, compact representation of SPL behavior. We discuss possible scenarios and give a prioritization procedure illustrated on an example.
