Energy reduction in pumping low consistency pulp fiber suspensions
Creators: name: Jalayer, Mazyar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Liquid transport is a vital segment of the economy. Pumping systems – whether used at a pulp and paper mill to transfer pulp stock, to pump petroleum through cross country pipeline or to transport tailings from a mine processing plant to a disposal site – are often one of the largest consumers of electrical energy. This thesis studies energy reduction in pumping low consistency fibre suspensions. The methods and procedures described in this work are applicable to any process where pumps are utilized. The main focus is on centrifugal pumps, the most commonly used pump at processing plants. Two methods are developed to achieve energy reduction: redesign of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) impeller and pump performance monitoring via thermodynamic method. A novel methodology/process was developed for redesigning a more efficient impeller for existing pump installations. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) process was developed for performance prediction of various impeller designs. The CFD process was validated using experimental pump loop results. Using OEM impeller geometry, design data and the redesign model, a series of eight optimal impellers were generated. The performances of these impellers were evaluated using the validated CFD process. The most efficient impeller design was selected for prototyping and experimental validation. A case study on Allis Chalmers PWO 6”x3”x14” pump showed that efficiency increase of 19.7% can be achieved with the redesign methodology. The validity of thermodynamic method was also studied in low consistency fibre suspension service. Head and efficiency curves for a low consistency pulp and paper centrifugal pump were measured for various low consistency pulp suspensions (0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%). These curves were simultaneously determined using two different approaches: conventional magnetic flow meter and differential pressure measurements; and by utilizing suction and discharge static pressure and temperature data (the thermodynamic method). It is found that addition of up to 1.5% mass fraction of softwood Kraft pulp to water did not affect the accuracy of the efficiency measurement when using the thermodynamic method. The pump efficiency calculated by thermodynamic method is consistent with the “gold standard” flow-meter-based method for flow rates within 90 – 115% of BEP (±1.0% maximum discrepancy).

description: We investigate the transport through a nanoscale device consisting of a degenerate double-orbital Anderson dot coupled to two uncorrelated leads. We determine the thermoelectric transport properties close to the one-electron regime and compare them to a corresponding single-orbital dot. The linear and nonlinear regimes are addressed, the latter via a non-equilibrium generalization of the non-crossing approximation based on the Keldysh formalism. Power output and efficiency in the Kondo regime are shown to be strongly enhanced through the presence of a second orbital. We predict an experimentally relevant optimal operating point which benefits from the concomitant increase of the Kondo temperature in the two-orbital setup. An approximation based on the transport coefficients and fulfilling the thermodynamic balance is proven to remain appropriate even far beyond the expected range of validity of such approaches. Finally, the double-orbital Kondo regime reveals itself as a promising candidate to avoid, at least partially, the generic dilemma between optimal thermoelectric efficiency on one hand, and fair power output on the other.

description: In North America, wild pigs have been a source of conflict since their introduction in the 1500's. The destructive foraging behavior, combined with a diverse omnivorous diet and prodigious reproductive capacity make the wild pig one of the most costly invasive species in North America. Wild pigs directly impact row-crop agriculture, pasture, forest regeneration, and water quality and even depredate juvenile livestock. Wild pigs also cause extensive environmental damage by competing with native wildlife for food, and by depredation of herpetofauna, small mammals, ground-nesting birds, and opportunistically, the young of large mammals. Wild pigs have been linked to the spread of invasive plants and may be changing the species composition of some forests by selective consumption of seeds and seedlings. In many areas, wild pigs are now common in suburban areas causing damage to lawns, landscaping and golf courses. The first step in dealing with a problem is recognizing there is a problem. This presentation will provide the framework and justification for the symposium, and segue to subsequent presentations on proactive techniques landowners and organizations are taking to control this pest. Unfortunately, as wild pig populations continue to expand throughout the U.S. damage and conflict will only increase. This symposium aims to inform the audience of the dangers of ignoring the emerging problem of wild pigs in the U.S. and will propose solutions for stemming their spread.

description: BACKGROUND: Both T-cell activation during early HIV-1 infection and soluble markers of immune activation during chronic infection are predictive of HIV disease progression. Although the acute phase of HIV infection is associated with increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production, the relationship between cytokine concentrations and HIV pathogenesis is unknown. OBJECTIVES: To identify cytokine biomarkers measurable in plasma during acute HIV-1 infection that predict HIV disease progression. DESIGN: Study including 40 South African women who became infected with HIV-1 and were followed longitudinally from the time of infection. METHODS: The concentrations of 30 cytokines in plasma from women with acute HIV-1 infection were measured and associations between cytokine levels and both viral load set point 12 months postinfection and time taken for CD4 cell counts to fall below 350 cells/microl were determined using multivariate and Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS: We found that the concentrations of five plasma cytokines, IL-12p40, IL-12p70, IFN-gamma, IL-7 and IL-15 in women with acute infection predicted 66% of the variation in viral load set point 12 months postinfection. IL-12p40, IL-12p70 and IFN-gamma were significantly associated with lower viral load, whereas IL-7 and IL-15 were associated with higher viral load. Plasma concentrations of IL-12p40 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor during acute infection were associated with maintenance of CD4 cell counts above 350 cells/microl, whereas IL-1alpha, eotaxin and IL-7 were associated with more rapid CD4 loss. CONCLUSION: A small panel of plasma cytokines during acute HIV-1 infection was predictive of long-term HIV disease prognosis in this group of South African women.

Diagnosis of Regional Monthly Anomalies Using the Adjoint Method. Part I: Temperature

Year: 1992
Subjects: Atmosphere
Meteorology

description: A one-layer, tropospherically averaged tracer model and its adjoint are used to examine observed midlatitude regional anomalies in terms of horizontal advection, and the effects of adiabatic and diabatic heat sources. The adjoint of the tracer model defines an information variable that is used to trace the airmass history of central European anomalies using observed winds. Together with a history of the tracer model's heat sources and sinks, which is also derived from observations, the adjoint integration enables the effects of heat sources and advection to be quantified, using the information tracer as a weighting function. Large January temperature anomalies are found to be primarily accounted for by horizontal advection of air masses already present on 1 January, with anomalous heating/cooling during the month playing a secondary role. Quasigeostrophic theory suggests that the small heating effects implied by the one-layer model are often associated with compensation between diabatic and adiabatic heating effects, the latter accompanying vertical motions. An attempt is made to interpret these compensating heat sources and sinks in terms of the positions of the storm tracks.

description: The muon-capture reactions 2H(μ^-,ν_μ)nn and 3He(μ^-,ν_μ)3H are studied with nuclear strong-interaction potentials and charge-changing weak currents, derived in chiral effective field theory. The low-energy constants (LEC's) c_D and c_E, present in the three-nucleon potential and (c_D) axial-vector current, are constrained to reproduce the A=3 binding energies and the triton Gamow-Teller matrix element. The vector weak current is related to the isovector component of the electromagnetic current via the conserved-vector-current constraint, and the two LEC's entering the contact terms in the latter are constrained to reproduce the A=3 magnetic moments. The muon capture rates on deuteron and 3He are predicted to be 399(3) sec^{-1} and 1494 (21) sec^{-1}, respectively, where the spread accounts for the cutoff sensitivity as well as uncertainties in the LEC's and electroweak radiative corrections. By comparing the calculated and precisely measured rates on 3He, a value for the induced pseudoscalar form factor is obtained in good agreement with the chiral perturbation theory prediction.

The Investigation of Regional Climate Anomalies With A Linear Barotropic Model and an Adjoint Technique
Creators: name: Robertson, Andrew W.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1992
Subjects: Atmosphere

description: The adjoint of a steady-state linear barotropic model is presented as a tool for diagnosing regional upper-level vorticity anomalies occurring in general circulation model (GCM) experiments. As a starting point, a simulation of a chosen GCM vorticity anomaly is made using a standard linear barotropic model forced by the corresponding anomalies in the GCM's upper-level divergence and transient-forcing fields. The associated adjoint model is then used to interpret this linear simulation over a chosen geographical region, in terms of the linear model's global forcing field. To do this, the adjoint model is forced by a local information source situated over the chosen region. The resulting adjoint solution consists of a global spatial weighting function which can then be used to identify regions of the forcing—local or remote—associated with the regional anomaly. The validity of barotropic linear theory can also be quantified as a by-product. As an illustration, the model is applied to a large interdecadal anomaly over Europe, arising in a 100-year doubled CO2 integration of the Hamburg coupled ocean-atmosphere GCM. Linear barotropic theory is found to account for over 60% of the European interdecadal anomaly amplitude in terms of anomalous divergence and the effects of transients. Although a large part of the effects of anomalous divergence are spatially concurrent with the European anomaly and just upstream of it, remote forcing regions over the east Pacific and tropical Atlantic are also implicated. Anomalous transients are found to play a secondary role. The linear results are compared with some one-point correlation maps of the GCM's interdecadal variability.

A Kato type Theorem for the inviscid limit of the Navier-Stokes equations with a moving rigid body
Creators: name: Sueur, Franck
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The issue of the inviscid limit for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations when a no-slip condition is prescribed on the boundary is a famous open problem. A result by Tosio Kato says that convergence to the Euler equations holds true in the energy space if and only if the energy dissipation rate of the viscous flow in a boundary layer of width proportional to the viscosity vanishes. Of course, if one considers the motion of a solid body in an incompressible fluid, with a no-slip condition at the interface, the issue of the inviscid limit is as least as difficult. However it is not clear if the additional difficulties linked to the body's dynamic make this issue more difficult or not. In this paper we consider the motion of a rigid body in an incompressible fluid occupying the complementary set in the space and we prove that a Kato type condition implies the convergence of the fluid velocity and of the body velocity as well, what seems to indicate that an answer in the case of a fixed boundary could also bring an answer to the case where there is a moving body in the fluid.

description: Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are widespread throughout the continental United States and significant efforts have been initiated to contain population spread. Removal of wild pigs in the United States is currently limited to mechanical capture methods. The Texas Cooperative Wildlife Services program implements an integrated wild pig damage management program and has investigated all current removal methods. This presentation will discuss aerial shooting, cage and corral trapping, snaring, shooting (including night shooting) and the use of dogs as control methods. The relative costs for each method implemented will be discussed in the context of a large metapopulation where additional pigs are available to replace removed animals. Costs, represented on a per pig removed basis, are lowest for turbine helicopter aerial shooting ($18.27 per pig removed), piston helicopter aerial shooting ($21.11/pig) and night shooting ($25.06) followed closely by fixed-wing aerial shooting ($26.63/pig) and daytime shooting ($29.92 /pig). Corral trapping ($46.95/pig) was more expensive than aerial or night shooting, but cost less than snaring ($62.51/pig) or drop nets ($64.91/pig). The practical application of specific methods is critical to method selection. For example, while aerial shooting may be comparatively the most cost effective method costs will be much higher when small numbers of pigs are expected and flying may not be possible in many areas due to terrain and vegetative cover. Because wild pigs in Texas exist in a large meta-population, costs for control are exacerbated by source/sink population dynamics. The removal of wild pigs in such environments requires return visits which significantly increase costs.

description: An equivalent barotropic tracer model and its adjoint are used to examine observed central European anomalies of potential vorticity (PV) in terms of advection and diabatic effects. The PV viewpoint yields a similar picture of six January anomalies to that found using a one-layer tropospheric temperature model, with the main component of the largest anomalies resulting from advection of PV present at the beginning of the month. Remote PV plays a larger role due to more rapid advection at upper levels. Anomalous diabatic effects are estimated as a residual from the tracer model itself. They are found to be of similar importance for the PV anomalies as are the (residual) source terms in the one-layer thermodynamic equation in the tropospheric temperature case. However, the spatial fields of the residual monthly averaged diabatic effects are noisier and more difficult to interpret than in the temperature case. An interpretation in terms of an estimate of the cross-isentropic mass flux at the base of the model is attempted.

description: We add a gravitational background lattice to the simplest holographic model of matter at finite density and calculate the optical conductivity. With the lattice, the zero frequency delta function found in previous calculations (resulting from translation invariance) is broadened and the DC conductivity is finite. The optical conductivity exhibits a Drude peak with a cross-over to power-law behavior at higher frequencies. Surprisingly, these results bear a strong resemblance to the properties of some of the cuprates.

description: We show how to accelerate relativistic hydrodynamics simulations using graphic cards (graphic processing units, GPUs). These improvements are of highest relevance e.g. to the field of high-energetic nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC where (ideal and dissipative) relativistic hydrodynamics is used to calculate the evolution of hot and dense QCD matter. The results reported here are based on the Sharp And Smooth Transport Algorithm (SHASTA), which is employed in many hydrodynamical models and hybrid simulation packages, e.g. the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (UrQMD). We have redesigned the SHASTA using the OpenCL computing framework to work on accelerators like graphic processing units (GPUs) as well as on multi-core processors. With the redesign of the algorithm the hydrodynamic calculations have been accelerated by a factor 160 allowing for event-by-event calculations and better statistics in hybrid calculations.

description: Recent observations indicate that kinetic and magnetic energies are not in equipartition in the solar wind turbulence. Rather, magnetic fluctuations are more energetic and have somewhat steeper energy spectrum compared to the velocity fluctuations. This leads to the presence of the so-called residual energy E_r=E_v-E_b in the inertial interval of turbulence. This puzzling effect is addressed in the present paper in the framework of weak turbulence theory. Using a simple model of weakly colliding Alfvén waves, we demonstrate that the kinetic-magnetic equipartition indeed gets broken as a result of nonlinear interaction of Alfvén waves. We establish that magnetic energy is indeed generated more efficiently as a result of these interactions, which proposes an explanation for the solar wind observations.

Although bound to failure in what concerns this goal, the process can lead to information on a possible non-vanishing time scale $δt$ involved in the collapsing of the wave function, even if the duration $Δt$ of the individual measurements is much larger than $δt$.

description: Genetic diversity is essential to ensure viability of species and for them to respond to selection pressures. Climate change is predicted to cause extreme environmental conditions in South Africa with the potential for adverse impacts on livestock and wildlife that may not be as readily mitigated by selection, if genetic variance has been reduced by inbreeding. Estimating the genetic variability on both a herd and breed level include unbiased heterozygosity (Hz), mean number of alleles (MNA), genetic structure and inbreeding. The study describes preliminary results regarding genetic diversity estimates of Cape buffalo populations in South Africa. A total of 2601animals from 27 buffalo populations from different geographical areas of South Africa with the use of14 microsatellite markers. Multiple-locus assignment, performed using the Bayesian clustering algorithm of STRUCTURE, revealed two underlying genotypic groups. Across herds, Hz ranged from 0.48 to 0.73, averaging 0.65; MNA ranged from 3.5 to 8.9, averaging 6.7. Therefore, a reasonably high level of genetic diversity is present with buffalo populations. The average level of inbreeding (FIT) for the populations was estimated to be 1.2%, which also demonstrates low inbreeding. It is important to use these estimates as a conservation tool to ensure that inbreeding does not become a major concern in both private and state wildlife populations.

description: Through a neutron scattering, charge transport, and magnetization study, the correlated ground state in the bilayer iridium oxide Sr$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$ is explored. Our combined results resolve scattering consistent with a high temperature magnetic phase that persists above 600 K, reorients at the previously defined $T_{AF}=280$ K, and coexists with an electronic ground state whose phase behavior suggests the formation of a fluctuating charge or orbital phase that freezes below $T^{*}\approx70$ K. Our study provides a window into the emergence of multiple electronic order parameters near the boundary of the metal to insulator phase transition of the 5d $J_{eff}=1/2$ Mott phase.

description: An extended Kalman filtering (EKF) method was developed and applied to instantaneously identify elemental stiffness values of a structure during damaging seismic events based on vibration measurement. This method is capable of dealing with nonlinear as well as linear structural responses. Identification of the structural elemental stiffness enables location as well as quantification of structural damage. The instantaneous stiffness values during an event can provide highly useful information for post-event capacity estimation. In this study, a large-scale shaking table test of a three-bent concrete bridge model was performed in order to verify the proposed damage detection method. The bridge model was shaken to different damage levels by a sequence of earthquake motions with increasing intensities. The elemental stiffness values of the structure were instantaneously identified in real time during the damaging earthquake excitations using the EKF method. The identified stiffness degradations and their locations agreed well with the structural damage observed by visual inspection and strain measurements. More importantly, the seismic response accelerations analytically simulated using the instantaneous stiffness values thus identified agreed well with the measured accelerations, demonstrating the accuracy of the identified stiffness. This study presents an experimental verification of a structural damage detection method using a realistic bridge model subjected to realistic seismic damage.

The ethics experiences of eating disorder therapists who have a personal history of an eating disorder : an interpretive description
Creators: name: Williams, Meris Andrée Lineham
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The study’s purpose was to explore and understand the professional ethics experiences of eating disorder (ED) therapists with personal ED histories, in order to generate knowledge directly applicable to maximizing such therapists’ safe and ethical practice with ED clients. Using the interpretive description qualitative approach to inquiry, data from interviews with 11 ED therapists with personal ED histories and from 2 first-person, published written accounts were analyzed inductively at manifest and latent content levels. From this emerged a description of the ethical issues and concerns reported (the ‘ethics terrain’), as well as of the interviewees’ experiences of engaging in conversation about the research topic, and their ethical self-reflections and practice changes that occurred over the course of data collection. Additional interpretation of these descriptive findings produced patterns, concepts, and ideas contributing to a more integrative understanding of participants’ ethics experiences that enhanced the clinical applicability of the study’s findings and had direct implications for practice. Among the recommendations directed towards ED-historied therapists, professionals involved in the education and training of such therapists, and the broader EDs field that emerged from this exploratory study were that ED-historied therapists receive early and ongoing training and supervision that addresses the full range of ethical issues likely to be encountered by them when delivering therapy to ED clients, including those associated with their personal ED histories. Particular attention to therapist wellness and self-disclosure practices may be warranted, as these may be associated with early career/early-in-recovery ethical vulnerabilities that could increase risk of harm to ED clients. However, there appear to be significant risks for ED-historied therapists in disclosing their ED histories in professional environments and in discussing related ethical issues. Safe climates that foster ‘positive ethics experiences’ for such therapists may facilitate their engagement with the full range of ethical issues relevant to them so that they can maximize their safe and ethical practice with ED clients.

description: This is a PhD proposal that will be implemented beginning of 2017. The project aims at understanding the social organisation of the African buffalo and its eco-epidemiological implications. Approaches from several scientific disciplines will be used to build a comprehensive study: the patterns of association between individuals will be studied using concepts and tools from behavioral and movement ecology: it will be based on a large GPS-tracking database and will relate inter-individual interactions to environmental factors (e.g. distribution of key resources, human disturbances, predation risk); the epidemiological processes and the influence of association patterns on pathogens transmission will be studied using a generic modelling approach which could be parameterized for various diseases. Here, we will present the preliminary research questions addressed by this project.

Influence of Ocean–Atmosphere Interaction on the Arctic Oscillation in Two General Circulation Models
Creators: name: Robertson, Andrew W.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2001
Subjects: Ocean-atmosphere interaction
Arctic oscillation
Atmosphere

description: The influence of ocean–atmosphere interaction on the wintertime Arctic oscillation (AO) is investigated using a hierarchy of experiments made with two general circulation models (GCMs), ranging from climatologically forced atmospheric to fully coupled ocean–atmosphere GCMs with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. Both GCMs reproduce well the AO spatial pattern, defined by the leading hemispheric mode of monthly sea level pressure or daily 700-hPa geopotential height, although the North Pacific pole is more pronounced as compared with observations. Coupling is not found to influence this spatial pattern. Power spectra are examined for evidence of ocean–atmosphere interaction in the form of spectral reddening or significant spectral peaks. No measurable influence is found. On interannual timescales, all the model AO spectra are approximately "white," with no clear evidence of any statistically significant spectral peaks in the coupled experiments. Greenhouse gas–induced changes in sea level pressure are found to project onto the AO in one of the GCMs but not the other. On subseasonal timescales, the spectra are "red" in all the model configurations, but ocean–atmosphere interaction is not found to amplify the redness. Significant spectral peaks are found in the 15–25-day period range, consistent with observed spectra. Daily histograms of the simulated AO indices are found to be negatively skewed. A Gaussian mixture model is used to estimate the probability density function of daily hemispheric height maps, and yields three circulation regimes in both the simulations and observed data. The uncoupled atmospheric GCM simulations exhibit AO-like regimes that acquire stronger wavelike characteristics in the coupled runs.
