Soft capacitive sensors for proximity, touch, pressure and shear measurements
Creators: name: Sarwar, Mirza Saquib Us

Year: 2019

description: Sensors are devices that convert a physical stimulus into an electrical signal. Mechanical stimuli such as touch, pressure, strain and shear are very important for a plethora of applications. A lot of these application areas, including consumer electronics, sports, health care and robotics, require the sensor to be soft, stretchable and even transparent. In this thesis we demonstrate three capacitive sensors that are each an evolution of the preceding version. The first sensor is a flexible, transparent, proximity and touch sensor based on mutual capacitance technology - the conventional technology used in most touch-screen devices. The novelty in this research is the sensor’s ability to operate while being deformed. This is important for applications where the device is expected to experience a bend or stretch while being interacted with such as in a wearable device and smart clothing. The second sensor in this thesis adds the ability to detect pressure and strain to enable its use in further applications. The sensor uses both mutual capacitance and overlap capacitance to detect the range of stimuli mentioned. The dielectric has cylindrical air gaps that enhance the pressure sensitivity. A 4 X 4 array structure is implemented that demonstrates the detection and differentiation of the different stimuli. However, for artificial skin applications, the ability to sense shear is extremely valuable, for example for helping robots grasp objects. The third sensor developed in this thesis is able to detect proximity and light touch similar to the previous iteration, but with 10X increase in pressure sensitivity (1.3% change in capacitance per kPa applied pressure, compared to 0.13% change for the second sensor) and the ability to detect localized shear (2.2% change in capacitance per kPa of shear stress). The novelty is a patterned dielectric architecture with pillars and sliding supports that enable the top surface of the sensor to slide and buckle like real skin and therefore enable the detection of localized shear. All the sensors use readily available materials (silicone, carbon black and/or polyacrylamide), along with conventional molding and bonding techniques and should be easy to produce in large quantities at low cost.

description: The Chandra Carina Complex Project (CCCP) provides a sensitive X-ray survey of a nearby starburst region over >1 square degree in extent. Thousands of faint X-ray sources are found, many concentrated into rich young stellar clusters. However, significant contamination from unrelated Galactic and extragalactic sources is present in the X-ray catalog. We describe the use of a naive Bayes classifier to assign membership probabilities to individual sources, based on source location, X-ray properties, and visual/infrared properties. For the particular membership decision rule adopted, 75% of CCCP sources are classified as members, 11% are classified as contaminants, and 14% remain unclassified. The resulting sample of stars likely to be Carina members is used in several other studies, which appear in a Special Issue of the ApJS devoted to the CCCP.

description: Spectrographs like HARPS can now reach a sub-m/s precision in radial-velocity (RV) (Pepe & Lovis 2008). At this level of accuracy, we start to be confronted with stellar noise produced by 3 different physical phenomena: oscillations, granulation phenomena (granulation, meso- and super-granulation) and activity. On solar type stars, these 3 types of perturbation can induce m/s RV variation, but on different time scales: 3 to 15 minutes for oscillations, 15 minutes to 1.5 days for granulation phenomena and 10 to 50 days for activity. The high precision observational strategy used on HARPS, 1 measure per night of 15 minutes, on 10 consecutive days each month, is optimized, due to a long exposure time, to average out the noise coming from oscillations (Dumusque et al. 2010) but not to reduce the noise coming from granulation and activity. The smallest planets found with this strategy (Mayor et al. 2009) seems to be at the limit of the actual observational strategy and not at the limit of the instrumental precision. To be able to find Earth mass planets in the habitable zone of solar-type stars (200 days for a K0 dwarf), new observational strategies, averaging out simultaneously all type of stellar noise, are required.

description: This study attempts to investigate potential impacts of future climate change on stream flow and
reservoir operation on Genale sub-basin  watershed. For  this study, 0.5° x 0.5° grid resolution of
bias-corrected  (RCM) Regional Climate Model  outputs based on  Representative Concentration
Pathways  (RCP4.5)  emissions  scenario  for  Genale  catchment  are  used  for  analysis.  A
Geographic  Information  System  (GIS)  companion  product  called  the  Geospatial  Hydrologic
Modeling Extension (HEC-GeoHMS) has been developed to aid  in the creation of basin models
and  meteorological  models  to  use  the  Hydrologic  Engineering  Center‟s  Hydrologic  Modeling
System  (HEC-HMS)  model  for  generating  future  stream  flows  and  Hydrologic  Engineering
Center‟s  Reservoir  Simulation  Model  (HEC-ResSim)  was  used  for  reservoir  simulation  and
operation study. Simulation results demonstrate the average monthly power production of Genale
Dawa-3 Hydropower project will not be affected in the future due to the inflow to the reservoir.
Hence, the flow for power production according to the design document will be fully meeting the
required amount.

description: In this paper we calculate a matrix element with a mass photon propagator (MFP) for the (1S)2 state of a helium-like ion. The analytical formulas for the matrix element with MFP in the general case are derived. Angular integration is analytically performed and radial integrals are numerically calculated. The convergence to the results of single-photon exchange with a massless photon propagator is shown. The method for calculating diagrams presented in this paper will make it possible to calculate numerically the contributions of subsequent orders of perturbation theory without special additional regularization.
Phylogenetic distribution of alpha-amanitin producing Galerina of British Columbia
Creators: name: Landry, Brandon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Mushrooms of some Galerina species equal the most poisonous Amanita species in their concentrations of deadly amanitin toxins. Although individual Galerina mushrooms are small, eating about ten would risk delivering a lethal dose of amanitins to a child. Understanding which species of Galerina pose an acute poisoning risk requires a better understanding of species boundaries within the genus, as well broad sampling for the presence of amatoxins. I analyzed 61 Galerina and eight outgroup specimens for the presence of amatoxins using HPLC/LC-MS. I then used multi-locus DNA data (ITS, LSU and RPB2) from a broad sampling of Galerina and outgroup taxa to generate a constraint tree, to which 322 Galerina ITS sequences from herbarium specimens at UBC, from A.H. Smith’s type material (University of Michigan) and from Genbank were added. I mapped toxin analysis data onto the resulting phylogeny, which indicated that amatoxin-production in BC Galerina is restricted to two species, G. venenata and G. castaneipes. These two species, along with two other reportedly toxic species (G. aff. marginata and G. sulciceps) and seven other species whose toxin production status remains unknown form a broad clade referred to as the G. marginata complex. Phylogenetic and toxin data suggest that the sister clade to the G. marginata complex (G. badipes) does not produce toxins, implying that the origin of amatoxin production in Galerina is somewhere within the G. marginata complex. Additionally, phylogenetic data also supports past evidence that members of the genus Gymnopilus are nested within the ‘Mycenopsis’ lineage of Galerina. The results provide the first comprehensive look at toxin production in Galerina, as well as the first report of additional toxin-producing species in North America. Using the molecular data from this study to update specimen names in herbarium collections and online databases will reduce downstream confusion resulting from inaccurate identifications or misapplied names. Doing so will contribute to ongoing efforts to update of field guides and other resources that list poisonous and edible mushrooms, allowing amateur mycologists, foragers and healthcare professionals to gain a better understanding of which Galerina pose a poisoning risk.
ESTIMATION OF SEDIMENT YIELD FROM BILATE WATERSHED, RIFT VALLEY LAKE BASIN, ETHIOPIA
Creators: name: MESFIN AMARU AYELE
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: High sediment yield from watershed can be significantly resulted due to poor land use practices,
inappropriate management systems and lack of suitable soil and water conservation measures.
The main objective of this study was to estimate sediment yield from Bilate watershed using Soil
and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model.
Simulation was carried out using meteorological and spatial data by dividing watershed in to 17
sub basins with 122 Hydrologic Response Units (HRUs) at Bilate Tena gauging station and 23
sub basins with 174 Hydrologic Response Units (HRUs) at outlet of Bilate watershed. Model
calibration period (2001-2010) and validation period (2011-2015) were performed for monthly
flow and sediment data using Sequential Uncertainty Fitting (SUFI-2) within SWAT Calibration
of Uncertainty Program (SWAT-CUP). Model performance efficiency was checked by coefficient
of determination (R
2
), Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency (E
), observation Standard Deviation
Ratio (RSR) and percent bias (PBIAS) indicating good performance of model estimation.
NS
An average annual sediment yield of 5.538million ton/yr at Bilate Tena and 6.468million ton/yr
at outlet of Bilate watershed was estimated with average spatial distribution of 9.99ton/ha/yr.
From 23 sub basins, 11 were categorized from moderate to very high (10-26 ton/ha/yr) sediment
yielding sub basins and selected for sediment management scenarios. Scenarios result showed
that average annual sediment yield reduction at entire watershed level after application of
grassed waterway, filter strips, terracing and contouring were 54.45%, 30.13%, 63.26% and
59.56% respectively. Also, at treated sub basins level 68.04%, 38.41%, 80.58% and 77.42% of
sediment reduction revealed after application of grassed waterway, filter strips, terracing and
contouring respectively. It was concluded that sediment yield reduction applying terracing was
more effective than other conservation measures for affected sub basins.

‘Make sure we don’t lose who we are’: young Black men navigating the college choice process at majority-Black high schools
Creators: name: Rosario-Moore, Alexis
name: Colar, Brian K
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Based on a case study of two majority-Black public high schools in a highly segregated American school district, the article employs a critical intersectional framework to examine the experiences of ten college-aspiring young Black men as they navigate the college choice process. Findings indicate that working-class Black male students are less likely to have access to college-going resources and social networks than their middle-class peers. However, a well- resourced school that affirms Black identity may increase agency and help crystallize college plans among working-class Black male students. In contrast, the study found that more institutional aca-demic structures constrain agency and channel working-class Black male students towards under-resourced colleges where they are less likely to thrive.

description: We present a catalog of ~14,000 X-ray sources observed by the ACIS instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory within a 1.42 square degree survey of the Great Nebula in Carina, known as the Chandra Carina Complex Project (CCCP). This study appears in a Special Issue of the ApJS devoted to the CCCP. Here, we describe the data reduction and analysis procedures performed on the X-ray observations, including calibration and cleaning of the X-ray event data, point source detection, and source extraction. The catalog appears to be complete across most of the field to an absorption-corrected total-band luminosity of ~10^{30.7} erg/s for a typical low-mass pre-main sequence star. Counterparts to the X-ray sources are identified in a variety of visual, near-infrared, and mid-infrared surveys. The X-ray and infrared source properties presented here form the basis of many CCCP studies of the young stellar populations in Carina.

IRRIGATION RESERVOIR OPERATIONAL PLANNING FOR HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT: THE CASE OF GIDABO RESERVOIR ETHIOPIA
Creators: name: MICHAEL BIRHANU GEDO
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Electrical energy is an integral component of the overall development of any nation. Most
rural populace does not have access to electricity and the shortages of electric  energy
production especially in small rural areas hinder the development of rural livelihood. This
study primarily intends to undertake only a  rapid technical assessment that provides some
basic information that essentially helps in making unbiased technical decision on the viability
of the proposed energy production from Gidabo dam which had not been planned or designed
with the inclusion of a hydropower scheme.
The conceptual rainfall runoff model chosen for this study was HBV-light (Beta Version).
The model was applied to simulate flow at dam site, using split record evaluation, involving
the calibration and verification periods (about 60% for calibration and 40% for verification).
During calibration period, the optimized parameters which give good performance result
were determined (Reff=0.74). These optimized parameters are validated. Performance of the
model in the validation period  was  0.68.  The study also  presents the work of reservoir
operation and hydropower potential estimation using HEC-ResSim Model for the better
operation and management of  Gidabo  reservoir. The study attempts to examine the
complexities in reservoir operation and prepare an optimum operation plan or release rule for
Gidabo  reservoir. The main objectives are simulating the optimal operation of  Gidabo
reservoir for the proposed water demand activities by accurately determining the reservoir
inflow using HEC-ResSim model and estimate the hydropower potential that can be
produced while meeting the current demands at a specified level of reliability. In the
simulation of  Gidabo reservoir, the reservoir physical characteristics, operational
characteristics, monthly water demands and the hydrological inputs to the reservoir (Net
evaporation, surface inflow) were collected and configured. This study developed optimum
operating rules for Gidabo  reservoir by using the application of HEC-ResSim model and
estimates the optimal hydropower production regarding to storage (m3), reservoir level (m),
and inflow-outflow relations of the reservoir. Based on simulation result the study evaluated
the hydropower potentials of the Gidabo reservoir and  found that  the Gidabo  reservoir can
potentially generate on daily base 2.3MW and 0.2MW if the Gidabo reservoir water level is respectively placed at 1215.9m and 1212.1m above mean sea  level. These levels represent
the upper  and the lower limits at which the proposed hydropower  scheme can sufficiently
release water  from  Gidabo  reservoir  to conjunctively meet the water  demands for the
proposed hydropower and designed irrigation purposes.

Year: 2017

description: This study aims to evaluate the impacts of climate and land use change on the hydrology of Gilgel
Abbay’s watersheds using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The study analyzed the
hydrologic impacts of climate and land use changes in two ways. The  first aspect consists of
characterizing hydrological changes two historical land use maps (Land Sat_8  1985 and Land
Sat_8  2015) were used to represent land use change on  the watershed, and historical climate
datasets (1986-2012) was used to create SWAT models for Gilgel Abbay watershed.
Land use change detection was done using remote sensing techniques and the maps were processed
using ERDAS Imagine 14 and Arc GIS 10.1 software. Climate and Land use are two main factors
directly influencing the hydrological processes of the watershed. Gilgel Abbay watershed. RCP
4.5 scenarios were used to project the future climate of 2030’s, and 2060’s. An increase in
precipitation from 67.01 mm to 165.03 mm in the 2030’s and decreases from 136.79 mm to 82.96
mm at the period during 2060’s. An increase of average annual maximum temperature is expected
to increase 2.3°C in 2030’s while for the period of 2060’s the maximum temperature is expected
to increase by 2.9°C, respectively, in future periods. Similarly, average annual minimum
temperature is expected to increase by 1.9°C in 2030’s while for the period of 2060’s the minimum
temperature is expected to increase by 2.1°C.Combined effects of land use and climate changes
showed that 229.87 m3
/s for baseline, 95.57 m3
/s more in 2020-2049, and 70.69 m3
/s more in 2050-
2079 for stream flow compared to climate change scenarios. The combination of climate and land
use changes would lead to an increase in stream flow (-63.55% to 24% in 2020-2049 and -54.98%
to -4.67% in 2050-2079).
SWAT outputs to baseline run (1986-2012). Climate and the land use land/cover change and its
driving force on Gilgel Abbay  watershed  using LANDSAT_8  image to produce two  the
hydrological model result indicates that the flow was sensitive to land cover change by reducing
base flow and increase peak flow this is due to increase agricultural land and deforestation.

description: We analyze theoretically the spin dynamics of exciton-polaritons and photons during their Bloch oscillations in a one-dimensional microwire. The wire geometry induces an energy splitting between the longitudinal and transverse electric polarized eigenmodes. We show analytically that a synchronized regime between the Bloch oscillations in space and the precession of the pseudospin can be achieved. This synchronization results in the formation of a THz alternating spin current which can be extracted out of the confinement region by the Landau-Zener tunneling towards the second allowed miniband. Finally we show how the spin signal can be maintained despite of the lifetime of the particles for the case of exciton-polaritons both in a resonant and non resonant pumping schemes. The structure therefore acts as a Spin-optronic device able to convert the polarization and emit spin polarized pulses.

description: We describe detailed simulations of X-ray-emitting populations to evaluate the levels of contamination by both Galactic and extragalactic X-ray sources unrelated to a star-forming region under study. For Galactic contaminations, we consider contribution from main-sequence stars and giants (not including cataclysmic variables and other classes of accretion-driven X-ray binary systems) as they make the dominant contribution at the position of the Carina Nebula. The simulations take into consideration a variety of technical factors involving a Galactic population synthesis model, stellar X-ray luminosity functions, Chandra telescope response, source detection methodology, and possible spatial variations in the X-ray background and absorption through molecular clouds. When applied to the 1.42 square-degree field of the Chandra Carina Complex Project (CCCP), the simulations predict ~5000 contaminating sources (1 source per square arcminute of the survey), evenly distributed across the field. The results of the simulations are further employed in a companion CCCP study to assign membership probabilities to individual sources.

DAM BREACH ANALYSIS AND FLOOD INUNDATION MAPPING : A CASE STUDY OF KOGA DAM
Creators: name: ADNAN AREGA BELAY
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Dam breach analysis and flood inundation mapping is generally used to forecast flood on
the downstream of the dam. Dam breach analysis is essential to predict dam breach
parameters, outflow hydrograph and its downstream nature of propagation. Results from
dam breach analysis can be used to protect downstream population and it can also be used
while designing and implementing future infrastructure. Koga Dam found in the Tana sub
basin of Abay Basin in Ethiopia has been selected as a case study in this paper. Within this
study the dam has been checked for both overtopping and piping using one dimensional
river analysis model HEC-RAS and empirical equations are used to predict dam breach
parameters for the use in the model. The flow data is tested by calibration and validation
using HBV hydrological model. PMF inflow is calculated using HEC-HMS model with a
peak 337.9 m3/s is used for overtopping failure. The spill way has adequate capacity for
the flood due to the PMF and breaching of the embankment was not possible in HEC-RAS
but Piping failure was simulated in HEC-RAS using breach parameters obtained from the
empirical equations. The modeling process was towards performing unsteady flow
calculations in the intent of routing the breach outflow downstream of Koga Dam from the
dam up to the downstream boundary which is 12 km from the dam. The models HEC-RAS
and HEC-GeoRAS are used alternatively. HEC-GeoRAS extracts topographic data from
counture of collected and surveying data and prepares geometric file in ArcGIS. The
geometric file is imported into HEC-RAS. Using the geometric file and unsteady flow data
(PMF inflow, initial flow and normal depth) unsteady flow calculation is performed in
HEC-RAS and  the breach peak flow estimated is 3071.65 m3/se . Geometric file with water
surface elevation attached to it is exported to ArcGIS where HEC-GeoRAS uses it to
prepare a flood map. The flood map cover 218.3 hactar with a flood depth of 0-22.5 m
dawnstream of the embankment dam. The produced map is overlaid on an aerial map of
google to see towns and infrastructures that are affected by the flood.
EVALUATION OF SEEPAGE, SLOPE STABILITY AND DEFORMATION IN  MBANKMENT DAM UNDER STATIC CONDITION (CASE STUDY: GRINDEHO  EARTHEN DAM EASTERN TIGRAY, ETHIOPIA)
Creators: name: KSATIE YHDEGO BAHTA
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Nowadays, monitoring seepage, slope stability and  deformations  is  the  primary  and
most  important  reason  to ascertain the overall safety of  earthen dams. This research
study was conducted, with the objective to evaluate static condition seepage, slope
stability, and stress deformation performances of Grindho earthen dam which is found in
eastern Tigray, Northern part of Ethiopia and to come up with possible helpful remedial
measures for the identified safety  incidents. The AutoCAD product Geostudio-2007
software was employed to analyse the seepage using SEEP/W, slope stability safety
factors using SLOPE/W and stress deformation using SIGMA/W under different cases of
operations. Results of seepage analysis using SEEP/W was utilized as a parental input for
the analysis of  SLOPE/W and SIGMA/W models. Additional actual field data
measurements and observatory investigation also carried out. In this study, Seepage
analysis such as leakage flow rate, pore water distribution and location of phreatic line
are determined using the SEEP/W.  From the  simulated results  the average flow rate of
leakage for the entire length of the dam at  full reservoir condition is equal to 0.001163
m3
/s whereas the actually measured quantity of seepage accumulated at downstream toe
of the dam  is  0.00647m3/s. The seepage source has been identified using the  electrical
conductivity and temperature taken from the reservoir and downstream toe drained water.
Slope stability analysis was performed for the critical slopes using the limit equilibrium
SLOPE/W software based on the Ordinary, Bishop, Janbu, Morgenstern-Price and
Spencer methods safety factors. The  stability  analysis  results indicated  that  the critical
upstream and downstream slope of  the  dam  are  safe  within  the prescribed USACE and
BDS rang  of  factors  of  safety  for  the  possible  loading  and  operation  cases. The
result of stress-deformation was analysed using the Finite Element model (SIGMA/W) in
the two cases; during the empty or after end of construction and full reservoir conditions
and the maximum horizontal and vertical displacements are calculated. The  resulted
maximum horizontal and vertical settlement  for  full reservoir conditions  is  0.21% and
0.92% of the dam height respectively. According to  the (USBR, 2014) standards and
(Hunter and Fell, 2003) recommendation the impervious core material is not safe against
the inside cracking and hydraulic fracturing due to the horizontal displacement and  the
dam couldn’t be affected by overtopping problem through the impact of  current vertical
settlements. Based on the research findings recommendations and possible  remedial
measures that helps to strengthen the safety of the dam are also provided:

The effect of pre-commercial thinning on growth and development of paper birch leading stands in British Columbia's Interior
Creators: name: Leclerc, Marie-Eve
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: With shifting disturbance regimes negatively impacting timber supply in British Columbia (BC), broadleaf and mixedwood stands present an opportunity to supplement timber loss and create resilient forests to natural disturbances. This study assessed the effects of thinning of paper birch leading stands on growth of the overstory and the diversity of the naturally regenerated understory in the Interior Cedar Hemlock (ICH) zone in southern BC. Pre-commercial thinning was applied to naturally regenerated paper birch stands to reach three densities: 3,000 stems/ha, 1,000 stems/ha and 400 stems/ha. Thinning effects on tree growth were analyzed at both the stand and tree level. The stand level analysis was performed on trees greater than or equal to 4cm in diameter at breast height (DBH) that were alive throughout all measurements. The tree level analysis was performed on the tallest 250 paper birch trees/ha. After 25 years, height and height growth were greater in thinned stands relative to the control stands at both the stand and tree level. At the stand level, basal area/ha and volume/ha were greatest in the control stands and were lowest in stand densities of 400 stems/ha. At the tree level, height and height growth were significantly greater (p < 0.0036) in thinned stands relative to the control stands. DBH and volume were significantly greater (p < 0.0001) in 1,000 stems/ha and 400 stems/ha relative to the control stands; the same result was found for DBH and volume increment. In 2016, diversity of ingrowth and seedlings was calculated using Simpson and Shannon-Weiner’s index, and increased with increasing thinning intensity. From a forest manager’s perspective, among the thinning treatments from this study, 1,000 stems/ha provides the best option. Thinning to 1,000 stems/ha allowed an increase in diameter growth without compromising stand volume for timber objectives, while simultaneously promoting diverse natural regeneration for future resilient forests.
