An Evaluation of The Aspire Legal Access Initiative
Creators: name: Paetsch, Joanne J.
name: Bertrand, Lorne D.
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2018

description: The University of Calgary’s Aspire Legal Access Initiative (ALAI), the first Canadian incubator project, was developed to provide its law school graduates with intensive articles in family law while improving access to family justice. Special project funding to operate the incubator was originally requested from the Alberta Law Foundation and other sources of potential funding, but the application was turned down. The University of Calgary agreed to support the initial startup of the program, and the project was able to move forward. An Executive Director, lawyer Kyla Sandwith, was hired in the summer of 2017, the necessary articles of incorporation were prepared, and the first cohort of four articled students was selected shortly thereafter.
Determining the Level of Expertise of a User of a Question Answering System
Creators: name: Paris, Cecile L.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1984
Subjects: Computer science

description: An intelligent question answering program should be able to tailor its answer to the user. Some factors entering this tailoring process include the level of expertise of the user, his goals for using the system, the discourse structure, and the user type. The decision on how sophisticated and detailed an answer should be is based, in part, on how much the user knows about the domain in question. In this paper, we are mainly concerned with determining the level of expertise of the user. We will show how a generalization based memory can be used in this process.
Untangling depression: masks, marks, and meanings

description: A person who has experienced depression is at an increased risk of future depressions, yet it cannot be definitively identified who will, and who will not, experience a relapse. This philosophical hermeneutic study offers a view of some of the ways that the possibility that depression may return can be experienced. Three individuals who had previously been diagnosed with depression were interviewed. Findings revealed that, while all participants were aware that depression could return in their lives, some felt marked by it, and by uncertainty of its return. How a person made meaning out of the experience of depression, however, seemed to make a difference in feelings about the future. From the tapestry of experience provided from these interviews, suggestions for societal change in the way that depression is looked at, and talked about, are considered, and ideas for clinical practice are offered.

description: Here we present the study of FR Cnc, a young, active and spotted star. We performed analysis of ASAS-3 (The All Sky Automated Survey) data for the years 2002-2008 and amended the value of the rotational period to be 0.826518 d. The amplitude of photometric variations decreased abruptly in the year 2005, while the mean brightness remained the same, which was interpreted as a quick redistribution of spots. BVRc and Ic broad band photometric calibration was performed for 166 stars in FR Cnc vicinity. The photometry at Terskol Observatory shows two brightening episodes, one of which occurred at the same phase as the flare of 2006 November 23. Polarimetric BVR observations indicate the probable presence of a supplementary source of polarization. We monitored FR Cnc spectroscopically during the years 2004-2008. We concluded that the RV changes cannot be explained by the binary nature of FR Cnc. We determined the spectral type of FR Cnc as K7V. Calculated galactic space-velocity components (U, V, W) indicate that FR Cnc belongs to the young disc population and might also belong to the IC 2391 moving group. Based on LiI 6707.8 measurement, we estimated the age of FR Cnc to be between 10-120 Myr. Doppler Tomography was applied to create a starspot image of FR Cnc. We optimized the goodness of fit to the deconvolved profiles for axial inclination, equivalent width and v sin i, finding v sin i=46.2 km s^-1 and i=55 degrees. The starspot distribution of FR Cnc is also of interest since it is one of the latest spectral types to have been imaged. No polar spot was detected on FR Cnc.

description: A framework to evolve three-nucleon (3N) forces in a plane-wave basis with the Similarity Renormalization Group (SRG) is presented and applied to consistent interactions derived from chiral effective field theory at next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^2$LO). We demonstrate the unitarity of the SRG transformation, show the decoupling of low and high momenta, and present the first investigation of universality in chiral 3N forces at low resolution scales. The momentum-space-evolved 3N forces are consistent and can be directly combined with the standard SRG-evolved two-nucleon (NN) interactions for ab-initio calculations of nuclear structure and reactions.

description: We study the effect of squark generation mixing on gluino production and decays at LHC in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) for the case that the gluino is lighter than all squarks and dominantly decays into three particles, $gl -> q qbar neut_k, gl -> q qbar' char_l$. We assume mixing between the second and the third squark generations in the up-type and down-type squark sectors. We show that this mixing can lead to very large branching ratios of the quark-flavour violating gluino three-body decays despite the strong constraints on quark-flavour violation (QFV) from the experimental data on B mesons. We also show that the QFV gluino decay branching ratios are very sensitive not only to the generation mixing in the squark sector, but also to the parameters of the neutralino and chargino sectors. We show that the branching ratio of the QFV gluino decay $gl -> c tbar (cbar t) neut_1$ can go up to ~ 40%. Analogously, that of the QFV decay $gl -> s bbar (sbar b) neut_1$ can reach ~35%. We find that the rates of the resulting QFV signatures, such as $pp -> t t cbar cbar E_T^mis$, can be significant at LHC. This could have an important influence on the gluino searches at LHC.

An Interoperability Model for Process-Centered Software Engineering Environments and Its Implementation in Oz
Creators: name: Ben-Shaul, Israel Z.
name: Kaiser, Gail E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1995
Subjects: Computer science

description: A process-centered software engineering environment (PSEE) enables to model, evolve, and enact the process of software development and maintenance. This paper addresses the problem of process-interoperability among decentralized and autonomous PSEEs by presenting the generic International Alliance model, which consists of two elements, namely Treaty and Summit. The Treaty abstraction allows pairwise peer-peer definition of multi-site shared sub-processes that are integrated inside each of the participating sites, while retaining the definition- and evolution-autonomy of non-shared local sub-processes. Summits are the execution abstraction for Treaty-defined sub-processes. They enact Treaty sub-processes in multiple sites by successively alternating between shared and private execution modes: the former is used for the synchronous execution of the shared activities, and the latter is used for the autonomous execution of any private subtasks emanating from the shared activities. We describe the realization of the models in the Oz multi-site PSEE and evaluate the models and system based on experience gained from using Oz for production purposes. We also consider the application of the model to Petri net-based and grammar-based PSEEs.

description: The structures and synthesis of polyzwitterions ("polybetaines") are reviewed, emphasizing the literature of the past decade. Particular attention is given to the general challenges faced, and to successful strategies to obtain polymers with a true balance of permanent cationic and anionic groups, thus resulting in an overall zero charge. Also, the progress due to applying new methodologies from general polymer synthesis, such as controlled polymerization methods or the use of "click" chemical reactions is presented. Furthermore, the emerging topic of responsive ("smart") polyzwitterions is addressed. The considerations and critical discussions are illustrated by typical examples.

What adult insulin pump users know and do - the role of nutrition and carbohydrate counting in diabetes management
Creators: name: Malkin, Alison Amrit
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The role of nutrition in diabetes management is well documented, but little is known about the dietary practices of adult insulin pump users. This cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted to address this gap. An electronic survey was designed with the assistance of a national advisory group of diabetes health care (DHC) experts who identified nutrition domains relevant to flexible intensive insulin self-management. The survey was then used to explore the nutrition and carbohydrate counting practices, satisfaction with and sources of nutrition support, and glycemic control of adult Medtronic insulin pump users. Inter-relationships among these key factors were also explored. Adult pumpers (n=297) attained a nutrition knowledge scale score of 70.8±16.9% and relied on label reading 86.0±18.0% of the time. Gaps in nutrition knowledge included carbohydrate counting for low carbohydrate vegetables, glycemic index, and label reading with sugar alcohols. Nutrition knowledge scores were higher among those without severe hypoglycemic reactions (73.1±16.2% vs. 65.4±16.2%, t=3.275, p=0.001). Higher nutrition knowledge scale scores were also correlated with more favourable glycated hemoglobin (A1c) values (r=-0.171, p=0.006). Satisfaction was correlated with the number of DHC team members (r=0.412, p=0.001; mean 1.68±1.3). Dietitians (50.2%) and Diabetes Education Centres (DEC) (50.2%) were the most frequently reported sources of dietary support. “Self-educators” received higher nutrition knowledge scale scores compared to “non self-educators” (73.1±16.9% vs. 67.7±16.2%, t=2.614, p=0.004) but no difference in glycemic control was found between the two groups (7.2±1.0% vs. 7.2±1.0% A1c, t=0.614, p=0.539). Results support the concept of a positive correlation between nutrition knowledge and glycemic control. Satisfaction with nutrition support was linked to the size and scope of a person’s DHC team. Empowering adult pumpers to perceive themselves as “self-educators” may be an effective strategy to enhance nutrition knowledge and potentially improve glycemic control. Although this sample may not be representative of all Canadian adult insulin pump users, they were motivated and well educated about nutrition and carbohydrate counting, flexible intensive insulin self-management, and had good glycemic control.

description: Compact binary systems with total masses between tens and hundreds of solar masses will produce gravitational waves during their merger phase that are detectable by second-generation ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. In order to model the gravitational waveform of the merger epoch of compact binary coalescence, the full Einstein equations must be solved numerically for the entire mass and spin parameter space. However, this is computationally expensive. Several models have been proposed to interpolate the results of numerical relativity simulations. In this paper we propose a numerical interpolation scheme that stems from the singular value decomposition. This algorithm shows promise in allowing one to construct arbitrary waveforms within a certain parameter space given a sufficient density of numerical simulations covering the same parameter space. We also investigate how similar approaches could be used to interpolate waveforms in the context of parameter estimation.

A Methodology tor Specification-Based Performance Analysis of Communication Protocols
Creators: name: Nounou, Nihal
name: Yemini, Yechiam
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1985
Subjects: Computer science

description: This paper presents a methodology for automatically analyzing the performance of communication protocols. The methodology consists of three steps. First, a protocol designer uses a formal algebraic method to specify the functional behavior of each of the communicating processes involved in the protocol. Second, the concurrent behavior of the protocol is automatically computed. Third, the protocol designer formally specifies timing requirements and/or performance measures and requests their analysis. This analysis is carried out automatically from the formal specification of the protocol augmented with some timing information. Th. methodology is implemented in ANALYST: an automated protocol performance analyzer. A connection establishment and a data transfer protocol are used to demonstrate the methodology. By analyzing the timing requirements of these protocols, optimal settings of their system parameters are obtained. Results obtained from analyzing their performance measures are shown to agree with manual results previously reported in the literature.

Average Case Complexity of Multivariate Integration
Creators: name: Wozniakowski, Henryk
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1989
Subjects: Computer science

description: We study the average case complexity of multivariate integration for the class of continuous functions of d variables equipped with the classical Wiener sheet measure. To derive the average case complexity one needs to obtain optimal sample points. We prove that optimal design is closely related to discrepancy theory which has been extensively studied for many years. This relation enables us to show that optimal sample points can be derived from Hammersley points. Extending the result of Roth and using the recent result of Wasilkowski, we conclude that the average case complexity is θ(ε-1(lnε-1)(d-1)/2)
title: Introduction to the Glauber dynamics for the Curie-Weiss Potts model

Subjects: subject: 500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik

description: This thesis aims at presenting in an organized fashion the required basics to understand the Glauber dynamics as a way of simulating configurations according to the Gibbs distribution of the Curie-Weiss Potts model. Therefore, essential aspects of discrete-time Markov chains on a finite state space are examined, especially their convergence behavior and related mixing times. Furthermore, special emphasis is placed on a consistent and comprehensive presentation of the Curie-Weiss Potts model and its analysis. Finally, the Glauber dynamics is studied in general and applied afterwards in an exemplary way to the Curie-Weiss model as well as the Curie-Weiss Potts model. The associated considerations are supplemented with two computer simulations aiming to show the cutoff phenomenon and the temperature dependence of the convergence behavior.
description: Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt das Ziel, die erforderlichen Grundlagen für das Verständnis der Glauber Dynamik auf organisierte Art und Weise darzustellen. Die Glauber Dynamik stellt eine Möglichkeit der Simulation von Konfigurationen der Gibbs Verteilung des Curie-Weiss Potts Modells dar. Es werden zunächst die zum Verständnis notwendigen Grundlagen von endlichen Markov-Ketten in diskreter Zeit beleuchtet, insbesondere ihr Konvergenzverhalten und die damit verbundene Mischzeit. Darüber hinaus legt diese Arbeit einen Schwerpunkt auf eine konsistente sowie verständliche Darbietung und Analyse des Curie-Weiss Potts Modells. Schließlich wird explizit die Glauber Dynamik betrachtet und anschließend exemplarisch auf das Curie-Weiss Modell und auf das Curie-Weiss Potts Modell angewandt. Die dazugehörigen Betrachtungen werden durch zwei Computersimulationen ergänzt, welche darauf abzielen, das Cutoff-Phänomen sowie die Temperaturabhängigkeit des Konvergenzverhaltens darzustellen bzw. zu verdeutlichen.

Natural illumination invariant imaging
Creators: name: Rutgers, Andrew Ulrich
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Shadows confound many machine vision algorithms and strong ambient illumination confounds active imaging, especially in outdoor automation applications such as surface mining. Natural Illumination Invariant Imaging takes images that appear to be illuminated by only an intentional flash, even with a flash only 1/37000th the power of the ambient light. This work combines hardware techniques, including brief pulses and filtering to reduce the apparent intensity of ambient light, with subtracting a reference image of the scene under only ambient illumination. Most existing techniques simply subtract an image of the scene taken at a previous time, or use several cameras to estimate the reference image. This work explores creating an accurate reference image using two cameras. The improved reference image for subtraction allows ambient shadows to be substantially removed from an image. Four experimental methods: reference estimation, segmentation, shadow removal and depth correlation; were used to evaluate the performance of ten techniques. Estimates of flash-free reference images created with the proposed techniques were compared to real images taken without a flash showed up to 63% reduction in error over existing techniques. The techniques were applied to three image processing methods: segmentation, shadow removal and depth correlation. They were applied to video for segmentation, and demonstrated segmenting an object 55% more accurately, though the measurement is scene dependent. Next, shadow ratio experiments examined the magnitude of the shadow remaining after subtraction, showing up to 70% shadow intensity removal. Depth correlation experiments showed over a 60% increase in the image area recognized using an efficient logical correlation algorithm. The theoretical performance of the techniques was examined. In summary, illumination invariant imaging was explored theoretically and experimentally, showing significant improvements for some important methods.

description: Chiral polymers are ubiquitous in nature and in the cellular context they are often found in association with membranes. Here we show that surface bound polymers with an intrinsic twist and anisotropic bending stiffness can exhibit a sharp continuous phase transition between states with very different effective persistence lengths as the binding affinity is increased. Above a critical value for the binding strength, determined solely by the torsional modulus and intrinsic twist rate, the filament can exist in a zero twist, surface bound state with a homogeneous stiffness. Below the critical binding strength, twist walls proliferate and function as weak or floppy joints that sharply reduce the effective persistence length that is measurable on long lengthscales. The existence of such dramatically different conformational states has implications for both biopolymer function {\it in vivo} and for experimental observations of such filaments {\it in vitro}.

Isochronets: A High-speed Network Switching Architecture
Creators: name: Florissi, Danilo
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1995
Subjects: Computer science

description: Traditional network architectures present two main limitations when applied to High- Speed Networks (HSNs): they do not scale with link speeds and they do not adequately support the Quality of Service (QoS) needs of high-performance applications. This thesis introduces the Isochronets architecture that overcomes both limitations. Isochronets view frame motions over links in analogy to motions on roads. In the latter, traffic lights can synchronize to create green waves of uninterrupted motion. Isochronets accomplish similar uninterrupted motion by periodically configuring network switches to create end-to-end routes in the network. Frames flow along these routes with no required header processing at intermediate switches. Isochronets offer several advantages. First, they are scaleable with respect to transmission speeds. Switches merely configure routes on a time scale that is significantly longer than and independent of the average frame transmission time. Isochronets do not require frame processing and thus avoid conversions from optical to electronic representations. They admit efficient optical transmissions under electronically controlled switches. Second, Isochronets ensure QoS for high-performance applications in terms of latency, jitter, loss, and other service qualities. Isochronet switches can give priority to frames arriving from selected links. At one extreme, they may give a source the right-of-way to the destination by assigning priority to all links in its path. Additionally, other sources may still transmit at lower priority. At the other extreme, they may give no priority to sources and frames en route to the same destination contend for intermediate links. In between, Isochronets can accomplish a myriad of priority allocations with diverse QoS. Third, Isochronets can support multiple protocols without adaptation between different frame structures. End nodes view the network as a media access layer that accepts frames of arbitrary structure. The main contributions of this thesis are: Design of the Isochronets architecture. Design and implementation of a gigabit per second Isochronet switch (Isoswitch). Definition of the Loosely-synchronous Transfer Mode (LTM) and the Synchronous Protocol Stack (SPS) that add synchronous and isochronous services to any existing protocol stack. Performance evaluation of Isochronets.

Subjects: Computer science

description: This paper discusses the number theoretic problems of primality testing and factorization. It presents algorithms for these problems. and reports on six implementations. Original work is presented for three machines (DADO [Stolfo 83], the Intel Hypercube [Hypercube 86] and the Sequent Balance [Balance 86]). DADO runs primality testing and trial-divisors factorization. The Balance and Hypercube execute factorization by elliptic curves [Lenstra 86]. Work by other researchers is due to [Batcher 86, Pomerance 86, Silverman 86 and Wunderlich]; these implementations use a network of workstations, a special-purpose parallel sieve machine and the Massively Parallel Processor (MPP). The 16K1processor memory of the current DADO2 machine was too small to execute the elliptic curve program, though it was ample for trial-divisors factorization.

Period variation in BW Vulpeculae redux
Creators: name: Odell, Andrew P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For the past 25 years, BW Vulpeculae has been the topic of period analyses centered on a secular period change with a periodic variation superposed, presumed to be due to light time effects in a binary system. According to this paradigm, one would expect what seems like a period increase of about 0.5 s during or soon after the year 2001. I have continued photometric monitoring through the year 2012, adding 35 new timings of maximum and minimum light. This expected change in period did not occur, which rules out that interpretation of the period variation. As of 2012, the observed timings are about two hours early compared to those predicted by the quadratic ephemeris, but are very close to those predicted by the linear ephemeris. In fact, the period has remained constant for the last 32 years, indicating that the previous epochs of constant period are almost certainly the correct interpretation, though the cause of the period changes is still not clear. Continued photometric monitoring of BW Vul leads to the conclusion that the period changes are abrupt, followed by epochs of constant period lasting between 12 and at least 32 years.

We demonstrate and investigate the digital approach to quantum simulation in a system of trapped ions. Using sequences of up to 100 gates and 6 qubits, the full time dynamics of a range of spin systems are digitally simulated. Interactions beyond those naturally present in our simulator are accurately reproduced and quantitative bounds are provided for the overall simulation quality. Our results demon- strate the key principles of digital quantum simulation and provide evidence that the level of control required for a full-scale device is within reach.

description: The objective of this work is to determine the effects of the polymer molecular structure on the sintering process. An experimental study on polymer sintering has been conducted in conjunction with an extensive characterization of the resins used in this work. A combination of rheological, thermal, and spectroscopic techniques was found to be effective in determining the molecular characteristics of the resins. Sintering experiments were conducted under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions using both powder and cylindrical particles. It was found that the trends observed for the sintering of powder were consistent with the predictions of Newtonian sintering models. Sintering results obtained using cylindrical particles, however, showed significant differences not seen when using powder particles. These were attributed to the differences in the surface area between the two types of particles. It is speculated that the effect of material properties other than viscosity and elasticity are enhanced when cylindrical particles are used. It was shown that an ( increase in the molecular weight, which translates into higher viscosity values, has a negative impact on polymer sintering. It was also shown that as the comonomer content increases, the sintering rate decreases. The presence of more side branches in the polymer chain causes a reduction in the degree of crystallinity. The resulting amorphous regions represent an obstacle to self-diffusion that negatively impacts the sintering process. On the other hand, an increase in the comonomer content generally results in a decrease in the melting temperature and the heat of fusion, which favors the onset of sintering. For the resins used in this study, it was difficult to evaluate the effect of the molecular weight distribution, comonomer type, and comonomer distribution on the sintering process. Experimental evidence suggested that copolymers with a more homogeneous structure generally sinter faster than their heterogeneous counterparts. Nevertheless, the presence of some heterogeneities in the molecular structure, while maintaining a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution, seemed to favor the sintering process in a few cases, especially with experiments conducted under non-isothermal conditions.

description: The cosmological dynamics of a brane world scenario where the bulk action is taken as a generic function of the Ricci scalar is considered in a framework where the use of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry and Israel junction conditions are relaxed. The corresponding cosmological solutions for some specific forms of $f(\mc{R})$ are obtained and shown to be in the form of exponential as well as power law for a vacuum brane space-time. It is shown that the existence of matter dominated epoch for a bulk action in the form of a power law for $\cal R$ can only be obtained in the presence of ordinary matter. Using phase space analysis, we show that the universe must start from an unstable matter dominated epoch and eventually falls into a stable accelerated expanding phase.

A Methodology for Specification-Based Performance Analysis of Protocols
Creators: name: Nounou, Nihal
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1986
Subjects: Computer science

description: The designer of communication protocols has to formulate rules to govern the communications between processes that are distributed; share common resources concurrently and asynchronously; communicate through unreliable channels that incur random delays; and behave in a time-dependent fashion. The first step is to formally specify the behavior of each of the communicating processes in the protocol. The protocol designer then has to analyze their concurrent behavior to ensure that it satisfies given functional requirements. He also has to analyze their timing behavior to ensure that is meets given timing requirements. The author addresses the specification and analysis of timing requirements and performance measures of protocols.
Essays on Networks, Volatility, and Trade

Subjects: subject: Economics--Commerce-Business

description: This is a collection of essays on networks, volatility and trade, based on confidential micro- data on manufacturing, trade, and input-output networks in Canada. I have chosen methods and data to support or challenge arguments around these subjects, and aim to show how ownership, production, and trading networks affect firm characteristics, and how, in turn, those firm characteristics affect aggregate volatility. These essays represent my contribution to the study of networks, volatility and trade in Canada. I show that firm input-output networks matter most for the firm size distribution and aggregate volatility; that firm ownership matters for volatility; that firm size distributions aren’t always distributed like a power law; and that there are barriers to domestic trade.

description: This report presents a summary of existing experimental data holdings together with current access policies in European experiments. It also presents an assessment of their compliance with FAIR Principles and makes suggestions for how to improve the present practices/policies towards a more FAIR and more Open Data management. All European tokamak and stellarator experiments grant access to their measured and processed data on an individual basis, to collaborators who are formally identified as members of the experiment’s team. Once a researcher is authorized for a given experiment, he has access to all measured data and processed data (Plasma Reconstruction Chain, PRC) of that experiment. Data has some degree of FAIRness at the level of a given experiment, but EU experiments are presently not interoperable, which prevents from exploiting results of the EU fusion experiments at their full potential. In particular, Data Mining / Machine Learning activities cannot be conducted across multiple experiments, or would require the ad-hoc creation of specific databases. A few international multi-machine databases have been created in the last decades of fusion research but their perimeter is limited to specific physics topics (e.g. confinement, disruptions, …) and they are not fed on an automated/systematic basis. In addition to improving the EU fusion science community Open Science and FAIR practices, making metadata and data interoperable across EU experiments is a key target of our recommendations since it would bring unique benefits to the EU fusion research, increasing the potential for new discoveries. The IMAS Data Dictionary is recommended as the standard ontology for achieving interoperability.
Quantum Gravity in Plebanski Formulation

description: We present a theory of four-dimensional quantum gravity with massive gravitons which may be essentially renormalizable. In the Plebanski formulation of General Relativity (GR), in which the tetrads, the connection and the curvature are all independent variables (and the usual relations among these quantities are valid only on-shell), we consider a nonperturbative theory of gravity with a nonzero background connection. We predict a tiny value of the graviton mass: m_g\approx 1.8\times 10^{-42} GeV and an extremely small dimensionless coupling constant of the perturbative gravitational interaction: g ~ 10^{-61}. We put forward the idea by H. Isimori on renormalizability of quantum gravity having multi-gravitons with masses m_0, m_1,..., m_{N-1}.

Artificial intelligence

description: Similarity-based learning, which involves largely structural comparisons of instances, and explanation-based learning, a knowledge-intensive method for analyzing instances to build generalized schemata, are two major inductive learning techniques in use in Artificial Intelligence. In this paper, we propose a combination of the two methods—applying explanation-based techniques during the course of similarity-based learning. For domains lacking detailed explanatory rules, this combination can achieve the power of explanation-based learning without some of the computational problems that can otherwise arise. We show how the ideas of predictability and interest can be particularly valuable in this context. We include an example of the computer program UNIMEM applying explanation to a generalization formed using similarity-based methods.
Experimental Study of Effect of Initial Mobile Water Saturation on Solvent Mixing with Bitumen in ES-SAGD
Creators: name: Chang, Jinghuai

Subjects: subject: Engineering--Petroleum

description: Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a commercially successful enhanced oil recovery technology. However, the process is energy intensive. One way to reduce the energy cost is through adding solvent in the vapor phase. In solvent-based processes, like Expand-solvent steam assisted gravity drainage (ES-SAGD), the mixing of a solvent and bitumen at the chamber edge warrantsinvestigation. Given that initial water is often mobile in the reservoir, it is important to examine its effect on solvent transportation and mixing with bitumen. The study aims to evaluate the effect that different initial mobile water saturations have in solvent-bitumen mixing. Varying mobile water saturations were generated in linear sand-packs to experimentally examine how mobile water affects the propagation of solvent in the bitumen zone. Solvent was injected into sand-packs containing a small mobile water saturation at slow rates. The pressure drop was recorded; the produced fluid was collected and analyzed. Experimental and simulation results show that the solvent fingers through the bitumen zone by displacing part of the mobile water saturation and appears at the production end very quickly. The bitumen content in the produced fluid sample was found to be small, decreasing during the progress of the flooding. This suggests that the solvent fingers became thicker by leaching out the bitumen. Such a rapid penetration of solvent in the bitumen zone, as a result of displacing mobile water, can greatly enhance solvent-bitumen mixing. Therefore, mixing solvent with bitumen in solvent-based processes needs to be modeled as a two-dimensional convection-diffusion process, instead of the diffusion/dispersion model that has been frequently reported in literature.
