description: Additional file 14 Primer pairs used for complementary DNA amplification of UGDH. PCR was done to test if the 108 bp insert is transcribed or not transcribed based on Felis catus 9.0. PCR-type 1 produces an expected amplicon of 510 bp for the mutant allele if the insertion is transcribed, and a 402 bp for the mutant allele if the insertion is not transcribed, as well as 2514 bp for the wild type allele. PCR-type 2, spanning from exon 10 (UGDH-201 (ENSFCAT00000009602.6)) or exon 9 (UGDH-202 (ENSFCAT00000055794.2)) to the 108 bp insert, should have an expected amplicon size of 110 bp for the mutant allele if the insertion is transcribed. PCR-type 3 produces an amplicon with 185 bp in standard Munchkin cats, and controls for the wild type allele.

description: Land-use change in upper catchments impact downstream water flows. As trees use large amounts of water the expansion of upstream plantations can substantially reduce water availability to downstream users. There can also be impacts on downstream salinity due to reduced dilution flows. In some jurisdictions afforestation requires the purchase of water rights from downstream holders, while in others it does not, effectively handing the water rights to the upstream landholders. We consider the economic efficiency and equity (profitability and distributional) consequences of upstream land use change in the presence of a water market under alternate property rights regimes and different salinity scenarios.

Numerical simulation of the pressure pulses produced by a pressure screen foil rotor
Creators: name: Feng, Monica Mei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Pressure screening is the most industrially efficient and effective means of removing contaminants that degrade the appearance and strength of paper and of fractionating fibres for selective treatments and use in specialty products. A critical component of a screen is the rotor which induces a tangential velocity in the suspension and produces pressure pulses on the screen cylinder surface to keep the screen apertures clear. To understand the effect of the key design and operating variables for a NACA foil rotor, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation was developed using FLUENT, and the numerical results were compared with experimental measurements. All the experimental measurements for negative pressure peak were 50% larger than the numerical results over a wide range of foil tip-speeds, clearances, angles of attack and foil cambers. In addition, it was shown that the magnitude of the pressure pulse peak increases linearly with the square of tip-speed for all the angles of attack studied. The maximum negative pressure pulse occurred for NACA 0012 and 4312 foils at 5 degrees angle of attack and NACA 8312 at 0 degrees. The stall angle of attack was found to be approximately 5 degrees for NACA 8312, 10 degrees for NACA 4312 and 15 degrees for NACA 0012. The positive pressure peak at the screen cylinder surface near the leading edge of the foil was eliminated for foils operating at a positive angle of attack. The magnitude of the negative pressure peak increased as clearance decreased. Increased camber increases both the magnitude and the width of the pressure pulse. In addition to, and more important than, these specific results, we have shown that CFD is a viable tool for the optimal design and operation of rotors in industrial pressure screens.
Best chirplet chain: near-optimal detection of gravitational wave chirps

description: The list of putative sources of gravitational waves possibly detected by the ongoing worldwide network of large scale interferometers has been continuously growing in the last years. For some of them, the detection is made difficult by the lack of a complete information about the expected signal. We concentrate on the case where the expected GW is a quasi-periodic frequency modulated signal i.e., a chirp. In this article, we address the question of detecting an a priori unknown GW chirp. We introduce a general chirp model and claim that it includes all physically realistic GW chirps. We produce a finite grid of template waveforms which samples the resulting set of possible chirps. If we follow the classical approach (used for the detection of inspiralling binary chirps, for instance), we would build a bank of quadrature matched filters comparing the data to each of the templates of this grid. The detection would then be achieved by thresholding the output, the maximum giving the individual which best fits the data. In the present case, this exhaustive search is not tractable because of the very large number of templates in the grid. We show that the exhaustive search can be reformulated (using approximations) as a pattern search in the time-frequency plane. This motivates an approximate but feasible alternative solution which is clearly linked to the optimal one. [abridged version of the abstract]

A Solution to the Protostellar Accretion Problem

description: Accretion rates of order 10^-8 M_\odot/yr are observed in young protostars of approximately a solar mass with evidence of circumstellar disks. The accretion rate is significantly lower for protostars of smaller mass, approximately proportional to the second power of the stellar mass, \dot{M}_accr\propto M^2. The traditional view is that the observed accretion is the consequence of the angular momentum transport in isolated protostellar disks, controlled by disk turbulence or self--gravity. However, these processes are not well understood and the observed protostellar accretion, a fundamental aspect of star formation, remains an unsolved problem. In this letter we propose the protostellar accretion rate is controlled by accretion from the large scale gas distribution in the parent cloud, not by the isolated disk evolution. Describing this process as Bondi--Hoyle accretion, we obtain accretion rates comparable to the observed ones. We also reproduce the observed dependence of the accretion rate on the protostellar mass. These results are based on realistic values of the ambient gas density and velocity, as inferred from numerical simulations of star formation in self--gravitating turbulent clouds.

Tunability of martensitic behavior through coherent nanoprecipitates and other nanostructures

description: Molecular dynamics simulations show that coherent precipitates can significantly affect the properties of martensitic transformations in Ni$_{63}$Al$_{37}$ alloys. The precipitates, consisting of non-martensitic Ni$_{50}$Al$_{50}$, modify the free energy landscape that governs the phase transformation and result in a significant reduction of the thermal hysteresis, at comparably minor expense of transformation strain, and modification of transformation temperatures. Importantly, this paper shows that free energy landscape engineering is possible with nanostructures potentially accessible through standard metallurgical processing routes. The atomistic-level nucleation and transformation mechanisms within the nanoprecipitate systems are explored and compared with epitaxial nanolaminates and nanowires. The simulations reveal three distinct regimes of transformation mechanisms and martensitic nanostructure as a function of volume fraction of the non-martensitic phase. Free energy landscape engineering is generally applicable and could contribute to the design of new shape memory alloys with novel properties, such as light weight alloys that operate at room temperature.

description: In this paper, we introduce LInK, a novel framework that integrates contrastive learning of performance and design space with optimization techniques for solving complex inverse problems in engineering design with discrete and continuous variables. We focus on the path synthesis problem for planar linkage mechanisms. By leveraging a multimodal and transformation-invariant contrastive learning framework, LInK learns a joint representation that captures complex physics and design representations of mechanisms, enabling rapid retrieval from a vast dataset of over 10 million mechanisms. This approach improves precision through the warm start of a hierarchical unconstrained nonlinear optimization algorithm, combining the robustness of traditional optimization with the speed and adaptability of modern deep learning methods. Our results on an existing benchmark demonstrate that LInK outperforms existing methods with 28 times less error compared to a state of the art approach while taking 20 times less time on an existing benchmark. Moreover, we introduce a significantly more challenging benchmark, named LINK ABC, which involves synthesizing linkages that trace the trajectories of English capital alphabets, an inverse design benchmark task that existing methods struggle with due to large nonlinearities and tiny feasible space. Our results demonstrate that LInK not only advances the field of mechanism design but also broadens the applicability of contrastive learning and optimization to other areas of engineering.

description: We present a systematic optimization of nighttime thermoelectric power generation system utilizing radiative cooling. We show that an electrical power density over 2 W/m2, two orders of magnitude higher than the previously reported experimental result, is achievable using existing technologies. This system combines radiative cooling and thermoelectric power generation and operates at night when solar energy harvesting is unavailable. The thermoelectric power generator (TEG) itself covers less than 1 percent of the system footprint area when achieving this optimal power generation, showing economic feasibility. We study the influence of emissivity spectra, thermal convection, thermoelectric figure of merit and the area ratio between the TEG and the radiative cooler on the power generation performance. We optimize the thermal radiation emitter attached to the cold side and propose practical material implementation. The importance of the optimal emitter is elucidated by the gain of 153% in power density compared to regular blackbody emitters.

description: Labour scarcity and affordability have encouraged many farmers in Western Australia to focus more on cropping than sheep production. Many farmers are opting to run low input livestock systems. This paper examines labour demand for sheep and cropping during the production year, combined with various scenarios of labour availability and cost. The implications for farm profitability and enterprise selection are examined using the bio-economic farming systems model MIDAS (Model of an Integrated Dryland Agricultural System). Labour requirements for sheep are far greater than those for cropping. Additionally the labour requirements for sheep are high in all production periods whilst the seasonal nature of cropping means more time is required only at certain times of the year, particularly at seeding and harvest. This means that the most profitable labour option is employing casual labour during periods of peak demand for cropping. The lesser relative profitability of the sheep enterprise makes employing a permanent worker the least profitable labour option. By contrast, employing casual labour during busy periods for cropping is more profitable but it is also associated with only small areas of perennial pastures being sown which has environmental implications. The logistics of employing labour at only certain times of the year compared to employing a full time worker means that farmers need to pay more per week to employ these workers or do the extra work themselves.

We classify Z*-algebras up to isomorphism in two dimensional Hilbert spaces and show that they are all variations of the aforementioned calculi. We do the same for linear relations and show that the calculus of [2] is essentially the unique one.

description: CERN-LHC. A search for the direct production of charginos and neutralinos in final states with three leptons and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is based on 20.3 fb^-1 of sqrt(s) = 8 TeV proton--proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded in 2012 with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with the Standard Model expectations and limits are set in R-parity-conserving phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Models and in simplified supersymmetric models, significantly extending previous results. For simplified supersymmetric models of direct chargino (C1) and next-to-lightest neutralino (N2) production with decays to lightest neutralino (N1) via either all three generations of sleptons, staus only, gauge bosons, or Higgs bosons, C1 and N2 masses are excluded up to 700 GeV, 380 GeV, 345 GeV, or 148 GeV respectively, for a massless N1.

description: Water pollution is widely considered to be one of the most important environmental issues facing New Zealand. Waikato region residents have reported that water pollution is easily their most important environmental concern in each of four attitude surveys conducted by Environment Waikato. Technical and regulatory mechanisms to reduce water pollution, especially non-point source pollution from agriculture are the focus of an intensive research effort both in New Zealand and internationally. This work should assist farmers and policy makers to identify the most cost effective options for achieving any given improvement in water quality. Research described in this paper aims to complement existing research projects by developing appropriate methodology for valuation of water quality improvements in New Zealand. It is envisaged that this type of information will inform the policy process by allowing decision makers to consider both the costs and the benefits of different levels of water quality improvements. This paper describes the first phase focussed on the Karapiro catchment which used focus groups and choice modelling in order to understand and quantify the value of water quality improvements in the catchment.

This has been achieved at mesoscopic length scales, where the insulating phase is characterized by a universal hopping transport mechanism. Transport in this regime is determined only by the average electron separation, independent of the topology of background disorder. We have discussed this observation in terms of a pinned electron solid ground state, stabilized by mutual interplay of disorder and Coulomb interaction.

description: ins1258398_resources.tar.gz (unpack then view insert.html)
description: CERN-LHC. A search is presented for direct chargino production based on a disappearing-track signature using 20.3 fb^-1 of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV collected in 2012 with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. In anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) models, the lightest chargino is nearly mass-degenerate with the lightest neutralino and its lifetime is long enough to be detected in the tracking detectors by identifying decays that result in tracks with no associated hits in the outer region of the tracking system. Some models with supersymmetry also predict charginos with a significant lifetime. This analysis attains sensitivity for charginos with a lifetime between 0.1 ns and 10 ns, and significantly surpasses the reach of the LEP experiments. No significant excess above the background expectation is observed for candidate tracks with large transverse momentum, and constraints on chargino properties are obtained. In the AMSB scenarios, a chargino mass below 270 GeV is excluded at 95% confidence level.

description: A deep-learning approach to optimize the selection of Slater determinants in configuration interaction calculations for condensed-matter quantum many-body systems is developed. We exemplify our algorithm on the discrete version of the single-impurity Anderson model with up to 299 bath sites. Employing a neural network classifier and active learning, our algorithm enhances computational efficiency by iteratively identifying the most relevant Slater determinants for the ground-state wavefunction. We benchmark our results against established methods and investigate the efficiency of our approach as compared to other basis truncation schemes. Our algorithm demonstrates a substantial improvement in the efficiency of determinant selection, yielding a more compact and computationally manageable basis without compromising accuracy. Given the straightforward application of our neural network-supported selection scheme to other model Hamiltonians of quantum many-body clusters, our algorithm can significantly advance selective configuration interaction calculations in the context of correlated condensed matter.

description: Recent experiments have examined the impact of a magnetic field on ferroquadrupolar orders in the intermetallic Kondo material PrTi$_2$Al$_{20}$. Motivated by this, we use extensive Monte Carlo simulations to study a diamond lattice XY model of non-Kramers pseudospin-$1/2$ Pr$^{3+}$ moments which crucially incorporates three-spin interactions. This model supports a thermal $Z_3$ Potts ordering transition upon cooling from the paramagnetic phase into the ferroquadrupolar phase. An applied magnetic field along the [110] direction leads to a thermal Ising transition out of the quadrupolar ordered phase. A magnetic field along the [001] direction leads to only thermal crossovers, but supports a spinodal transition out of metastable domains which could be strongly pinned by coupling to elastic lattice deformations. We propose noise measurements as a potential probe to "hear" the spinodal transition. Our work highlights the importance of multispin interactions in Kondo materials near the small-to-large Fermi surface transition.

Parametric excitations of a traveling beam and the washboarding problem in bandsawing

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis is investigates the effect of primary cutting parameters and simple bandsaw blade geometry on the occurrence and severity of Type I washboarding in bandsaws. The mechanisms causing Type I washboarding are not currently well understood. To achieve a better understanding of the problem, both an analytical approach dealing with parametric axial excitations of a traveling beam, and an experimental approach are undertaken and the results of both studies are compared. The effect of in plane axial blade loading on a simple traveling beam model is examined. The governing differential equations of motion contain parametric stiffness terms that require the use of a perturbation method for an approximate solution. The perturbation method used in this work is the method of multiple scales. In one blade model, the effect of axial tension fluctuations at the tooth passing frequency due to fluctuations in the total axial cutting load is studied. In the second model, the effect of low frequency axial tension fluctuations in combination with a lateral excitation at the tooth passing frequency is studied. The second model gives response characteristics very similar to those seen in experimental cutting tests including a response at the tooth passing frequency and a response below the tooth passing frequency by an amount equal to the low frequency axial tension fluctuation. Cutting test data is examined to determine the pertinent response characteristics during Type I washboarding. It is found that two main components of response lead to Type I washboarding; a response at the tooth passing frequency and one at a frequency slightly lower than the tooth passing frequency. The behavior of these two responses with changes in primary cutting parameters is very similar to what is predicted by the second traveling beam model

description: The nature of a metal-insulator transition tuned by external gates in quantum Hall (QH) systems with point constrictions, as reported in recent experiments of Roddaro et al [1], is examined. We attribute this phenomenon to a splitting of the integer edge into conducting and insulating stripes, the latter wide enough to allow for the stability of the edge structure. Inter-channel impurity scattering and inter-channel Coulomb interactions do not destabilize this picture.

Aspects of Geometric Inflation

description: We revisit the recently proposed mechanism of Geometric Inflation. On general grounds, we show that obtaining the right amount of inflation demands an exceedingly large initial energy density. We introduce a scalar field and study the combined action of both mechanisms. Besides fixing the aforementioned issue, a cascading process occurs whose last step seems undistinguishable from ordinary large field inflation. Strikingly, the scalar field remains approximately constant while Geometric Inflation rules the dynamics. This ultimately leads to the possibility of reducing the initial value of the scalar field and its excursion. We discuss the main features of this hybrid scenario.

description: Concentrates on comparing socio-economic aspects of pearl culture in Australia, which mostly relies on the culture of the South Sea pearl oyster P. maxima, with that in French Polynesia which depends on the culture of the black-lipped pearl oyster P. margaritifera. Australian culture of pearl oysters dates from the 1950s whereas culture of black pearls in French Polynesia dates from the second half of the 1970s. After briefly outlining the history of pearl culture in Australia and Tahiti, this paper provides an overview of the industry, comparative structure of the industry in Australia and French Polynesia and its technologies. Socio-economic impacts, especially regional impacts, of the industry are considered. Market characteristics (such as prices of pearls and the marketing and promotion of Tahitian pearls) are given attention and observations are made about Australian export markets for pearls. There appears to be some positive correlation between the price received on average for Tahitian pearls and that obtained for Australian pearl exports, but more control is exerted over Australian supply of pearls to the market so enabling declines in the price for Australian pearls to be counteracted quickly

description: The aim of this paper is to emphasize the theoretical and aesthetical meanings of Plessner’s aesthesiology. His theory on the unity of the senses allows to legitimate the normative sense of sensibility and his pregnancy to understand the organization of experience. Such an aesthetical perspective has also relevant implications for Plessner’s philosophical anthropology and his theory of eccentric positionality of human being, which is mainly a theory on the body-mind philosophical conjunction.

description: With his fight against the sea monster Medusa, Perseus embodies for Warburg the “world-directed energy”. Warburg's “energetic aesthetics” could be interpreted then as nothing but another version of the hypertrophic, despotic subject Ferraris has often written about. We will show it that is not the case by considering the relationship that Warburg draws between Perseus and Hamlet.

description: Quality is a key factor when consumers choose agri-food products, but at the same time is difficult for them to assess. On the demand side, consumers require protection measures, and on the supply side, efficient communications need to be available to all operators, including those who cannot afford to supply their own. In this context, quality markers such as logos, brands and indications or denominations that distinguish a product from its competitors can be a strategic way of transmitting information, especially for firms which cannot afford resources for communications or their own brand name. This research analyses and assesses the role of brands and territorial markers (PDO, PGI) in enhancing and promoting “very fresh” food products, in particular fruit and vegetables. The first part of the work identifies the most widely used quality markers, and the legal and organisational aspects for some of them. The second part is empirical and includes case studies on PDO and PGI, two company brands (Melinda and Marlene) in the fruit and vegetable sector and, finally, one collective brand, “QC – Qualità Controllata” set up by a regional authority, Emilia Romagna Region. Our case studies lead to the conclusion that collective brands and indications or denominations alone are not a sufficient condition for commercial success. What is essential, on top of basic product requisites, is the organisation of supply and brand strategy.
Dust masses, compositions, and luminosities in the nuclear disks and the diffuse circumnuclear medium of Arp220

description: We present an analysis of the 4-2600 $μ$m spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the west and east nuclei and the diffuse infrared (IR) region of the merger-driven starburst Arp 220. We examine several possible source morphologies and dust temperature distributions using a mixture of silicate and carbonaceous grains. From fits to the SEDs we derive dust masses, temperatures, luminosities, and dust inferred gas masses. We show that the west and east nuclei are powered by central sources deeply enshrouded behind $\sim 10^{26}$ cm$^{-2}$ column densities of hydrogen with an exponential density distribution, and that the west and east nuclei are optically thick out to wavelengths of $\sim 1900$ and $\sim 770$ $μ$m, respectively. The nature of the central sources cannot be determined from our analysis. We derive star formation rates or black hole masses needed to power the IR emission, and show that the [C II] 158$μ$m line cannot be used as a tracer of the star formation rate in heavily obscured systems. Dust inferred gas masses are larger than those inferred from CO observations, suggesting either larger dust-to-H mass ratios, or the presence of hidden atomic H that cannot be inferred from CO observations. The luminosities per unit mass in the nuclei are $\sim 450$, in solar units, smaller that the Eddington limit of $\sim 1000 - 3000$ for an optically thick star forming region, suggesting that the observed gas outflows are primarily driven by stellar winds and supernova shock waves instead of radiation pressure on the dust.
