description: We analyzed photographic observations of the re-entry of the Hayabusa spacecraft and capsule over Southern Australia on June 13, 2010, 13:52 UT. Radiometric measurements of the brightness of the associated fireball were obtained as well. We derived the trajectories and velocities of the spacecraft, its four fragments and the capsule. The capsule trajectory was within a few hundred meters of the trajectory predicted by JAXA prior the re-entry. The spacecraft trajectory was about 1 km higher than the capsule trajectory. Two major fragments separated from the spacecraft at a height of about 62 km with mutual lateral velocity of 250 m/s. The maximum absolute magnitude of the fireball of -12.6 was reached at a height of 67 km. The dynamic pressures acting on the spacecraft at the fragmentation points were only 1 - 50 kPa. No spacecraft fragment was seen to survive below the height of 47 km. The integral luminous efficiency of the event was 1.3%. As expected, the capsule had a very low luminous efficiency and very low ablation coefficient. The ablation coefficients and masses of the major spacecraft fragments are discussed.

Implementation of a Thue-Mahler equation solver
Creators: name: Hambrook, Kyle David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A practical algorithm for solving an arbitrary Thue-Mahler equation is presented, and its correctness is proved. Methods of algebraic number theory are used to reduce the problem of solving the Thue-Mahler equation to the problem of solving a finite collection of related Diophatine equations having parameters in an algebraic number field. Bounds on the solutions of these equations are computed by employing the theory of linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers. Computational Diophantine approximation techniques based on lattice basis reduction are used to reduce the upper bounds to the point where a direct enumerative search of the solution space becomes possible. Such an enumerative search is carried out with the aid of a sieving procedure to finally determine the complete set of solutions of the Thue-Mahler equation. The algorithm is implemented in full generality as a function in the Magma computer algebra system. This is the first time a completely general algorithm for solving Thue-Mahler equations has been implemented as a computer program.

description: The availability of small, low-power, low-cost FPGAs make them appealing for the implementation of reconfigurable digital filters in audio signal processing applications. A Digital Signal Processing (DSP) unit with a Multiply-Accumulate (MAC) core can be used to implement digital filters where the arithmetic operations required occur sequentially. The speed and limited resources of low-cost FPGAs limit the number of operations available to implement the digital filter. This thesis presents a reconfigurable digital filter compiler used to generate con­figuration data for a reconfigurable DSP unit used to implement a digital filter. The filter compiler automatically generates filter configurations that reduce the number of required operations to implement the digital filter. The finite-precision effects of the selected filter configuration on the magnitude frequency response are presented, allowing the user to choose an acceptable configuration.

description: We analyse the high precision HERA $F_2$ data in the low-$x$ regions, $x<0,01$ and the very-low-$x$, $x<0.001$, regions using $\lambda$-Fits. $\lambda$ is a measure of the rate of rise of $F_2$ defined by $F_2 \propto (1/x)^{\lambda}$. We show that $\lambda$ determined in these two regions, at various $Q^2$ values, is systematically smaller in the very-low-$x$ region as compared to the low-$x$ region. We discuss some possible physical interpretations of this effect.

Generation and transmission line expansion planning in Alberta

Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 116-122
description: For the purposes of this thesis, a model is created to optimize generation and transmis­sion line expansion planning simultaneously. This model is applied to an Alberta-like power system in an attempt to find a framework for the economic expansion of gener­ation and transmission lines for the next 20 years. The sensitivity of the results to a number of relevant parameters such as cost of building transmission lines, gas price, greenhouse gas offset costs, wind generation development, higher generation capital costs in Southern Alberta, higher rate of load growth in Southern Alberta, proposed generation additions and retirements in the province, and new federal requirements on coal is then analyzed to determine the important driving factors behind the value of transmission lines (in the context of congestion). The same sensitivity analyses also illustrate the value of coal versus gas-fired generation.

Cost-Sharing Arrangements under Sharecropping: Moral Hazard, Incentive Flexibility, and Risk
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
name: Braverman, Avishay
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1986
Subjects: Economics

description: This paper explains the rationale and describes the characteristics of cost sharing arrangements in rural developing economies, focusing on the risk and incentive properties of alternative cost contracts and on their flexibility--their ability to adapt to environmental changes. It is shown that where labor inputs are difficult to monitor, the rule that cost shares and output shares be equalized will not hold and is not "constrained pareto efficient," and that cost-sharing contracts have a decided advantage over contracts which specify the level of inputs whenever there are asymmetries of information regarding production technology between the landlord and the tenant.

description: We have just entered an era of precision measurements for $B_s$-decay observables. A characteristic feature of the $B_s$-meson system is $B^0_s$--$\bar B^0_s$ mixing, which exhibits a sizable decay width difference. The latter feature leads to a subtle complication for the extraction of branching ratios of $B_s$ decays from untagged data samples, leading to systematic biases as large as O(10%) that depend on the dynamics of the considered decay. We point out that this effect can only be corrected for using information from a time-dependent analysis and suggest the use of the effective $B_s$ decay lifetime, which can already be extracted from the untagged data sample, for this purpose. We also address several experimental issues that can play a role in the extraction of effective lifetimes at a hadron collider, and advocate the use of the $B_s$ branching ratios, as presented in this note, for consistent comparisons of theoretical calculations and experimental measurements in particle listings.

description: A novel reactive navigation strategy is tested in this thesis, in both simulation and experiment. Previous methods in the literature mostly use path planning strategies to avoid all obstacles in the environment, assuming all obstacles can be reliably located and classified. An alternative strategy relies on sensing only immediate obstacles in the path and avoiding them using a reactive strategy-similar to how an insect avoids obstacles in a natural environment. A reactive strategy is investigated in this thesis, consisting of three basic components: 1) a fuzzy-logic algorithm for choosing the heading based on a target location and perceived immediate-obstacle directions, 2) a nonlinear closed-loop control system that commands appropriate angular velocities for achieving the heading, and 3) a fuzzy obstacle ahead truth value term added directly to commanded angular and translational velocities which immediately changes robot direction to avoid imminent collisions. The proposed strategy is tested in a simulation of a maze-like environment, and the effect of all controller parameters is evaluated through extensive testing. An experimental mobile robot, using a laser range finder to detect obstacles and GPS to determine ultimate target locations, uses the algorithm to navigate around a tree in an outdoor environment.
Methinks the amicus doth protest too much: adjudicating Canada's polygamy policy
Creators: name: Kennedy, Tyson Dean
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 135-161
description: This thesis uses the 2011 polygamy reference to examine the institutional capacity of the Canadian judiciary to make policy, especially under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The literature predicts that policymaking in Canada's still largely adjudicative courts is likely to suffer from an "adversarial difficulty," namely, a tendency to distort the "social facts" judges need to make policy. Under the Charter, the adversarial difficulty occurs especially in the proportionality component of the test used to determine whether a rights-infringing law is nevertheless justified as a "reasonable limit" on Charter rights. The polygamy litigation amply confirms the problematic presence of the adversarial difficulty. Given the inevitability of judicial policymaking, the solution lies in the kind of interaction between courts and legislatures known as "coordinate dialogue" - i.e., dialogue that accords legislatures a legitimate voice in constitutional interpretation.

description: Plagll is a maternally imprinted tumor suppressor gene that encodes a zmc finger transcription factor. Plagll is a key regulator of cell number control and cellular migration in the developing retina. Our previous study showed that deletion of Plagll results in increased proliferation and reduced apoptosis at postnatal stages of retinal development, leading to formation of an ectopic cell layer. To identify transcriptional targets that work downstream of Plagll, we performed a microarray analysis ofE18.5- 4 day in vitro (DIV) wild type and Plagll knockout retinal explants. Ingenuity analysis of the microarray data suggested that several genes involved in cellular functions such as gene expression, cell death, cell cycle, cell growth and proliferation, and movement were differentially expressed in Plagll mutant retinas. Quantification of differential expression of a subset of these genes by quantitative real time PCR identified a few putative targets of Plagll and three of them, Cdknl a, Neurog2 and Ndn, also came differentially expressed with Plagll gain of function study in P19 cells in a direction opposite to that of loss of function study. Moreover, expression analysis by RNA in situ hybridization revealed similar expression patterns as that of Plagll for some of the differentially expressed genes suggesting that they may be downstream targets of Plagll. This work helped to gain some insight into the network of genes that may function downstream of Plagll and help it in executing its regulatory role during retinal development.

A microwave interferometer to enhance sensitivity of microwave measurement systems
Creators: name: Kagan, Dmitri
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 119-123
description: A single source microwave interferometer is proposed to enhance the sensitivity of a microwave measurement system. Theory of operation is provided to gain understanding of the device's generated null and the concept of a virtual match. The design and steps leading to its realization are discussed and developed through a comprehensive analysis involving simulations and prototyping. The performance of the interferometer is demonstrated through multiple applications, involving low contrast and high impedance measurements. Due to the ability of the interferometer to easily integrate with multiple measurement systems, it has potential benefiting applications that require extreme sensitivity and ones relying on differential information.

description: A simple expression for the induced fermion current in the presence of a texture in mass-order-parameters in two-dimensional condensed-matter Dirac systems is derived using the representation theory of Clifford algebras. In particular, it is shown that every texture in three mutually anticommuting order parameters, in graphene for example, implies an induced density of a properly defined conserved charge. The sufficient condition for the general charge to be the familiar electrical charge is that the remaining two anticommuting order parameters allowed by the particle-hole symmetry are the two phase components of some superconducting order. This allows eight different types of electrically charged textures in graphene or in the $π$-flux Hamiltonian on the square lattice. Generalized charge of mass-textures on the surfaces of thin films of topological insulators, or in spinless Dirac fermions hopping on the honeycomb lattice is also discussed.

Glacier meltwater contributions and glaciometeorological regime of the Illecillewaet River Basin, a headwaters catchment of the Upper Columbia River Basin, British Columbia, Canada

description: This thesis characterizes the main meteorological parameters influencing glacier snow- and ice-melt and quantifies recent glacier contributions to streamflow in the extensively glacierized Illecillewaet River Basin ( 4.9% of the basin), a sub-basin of the Columbia River Basin. Meteorological and mass balance data collected in 2009 on Illecillewaet Glacier are used to develop and constrain a distributed glacier melt model, based on temperature and absorbed solar radiation. Water isotopes were also collected to support melt contributions. The melt model is applied to the glaciers in the Illecillewaet basin for the summers of 2009-2011. Average glacier runoff for the period May-September is estimated at 122 ± 16 x 106 m3 for 2009-2011, approximately 10.6% of Illecillewaet River yields and in August making up 27% of the river flows. The glacial discharge is split almost equally between runoff from the seasonal snowpack and from melting of glacier ice/firn. For the lowest observed flow year in the basin, 2009, glacier contributions increased to 16% for May to September and 32% in August, with 82% of this glacier runoff derived from glacier storage (ice and firn). Climate sensitivity studies for Illecillewaet Glacier indicate that glacier mass balance is strongly influenced by summer temperature, with a net balance change of -0.6 m w.e. under a 1 °C warming. Winter precipitation increases of approximately 30% are needed to offset this. Winter mass balance measurements are scarce in this region, particularly for the high-elevation snowpack, introducing considerable uncertainty in the estimates of glacier mass balance. Summer balance and glacial runoff are better constrained, as these are most sensitive to summer temperature and cloud cover. These results are initial estimates, and long-term monitoring is essential to capture glacier and climate variability in the region, to refine glacier runoff, and to quantify its sensitivity to glacier retreat.

We measure the branching fractions (*10^-4): BF(B0bar to D0 pi0) = 2.69 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.13, BF(B0bar to D*0 pi0) = 3.05 +/- 0.14 +/- 0.28, BF(B0bar to D0 eta) = 2.53 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.11, BF(B0bar to D*0 eta) = 2.69 +/- 0.14 +/- 0.23, BF(B0bar to D0 omega) = 2.57 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.14, BF(B0bar to D*0 omega) = 4.55 +/- 0.24 +/- 0.39, BF(B0bar to D0 eta_prime) = 1.48 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.07,and BF(B0bar to D*0 eta_prime) = 1.49 +/- 0.22 +/- 0.15. We also present the first measurement of the longitudinal polarization fraction of the decay channel D*0 omega, f_L = (66.5+/- 4.7+/- 1.5) %. In the above, the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The results are based on a sample of (454 +/- 5)*10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance, with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage rings at SLAC. The measurements are the most precise determinations of these quantities from a single experiment. They are compared to theoretical predictions obtained by factorization, Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) and perturbative QCD (pQCD). We find that the presence of final state interactions is favored and the measurements are in better agreement with SCET than with pQCD.

description: Bibliography: p. 117-130
description: This thesis focuses on uncertainty analysis in two areas in power system operations, which may encounter uncertainty in the model. First, the Probabilistic Power Flow (PPF) prob­lem is introduced where uncertainty is involved in demand or available generation. By employing Latin Supercube Sampling (LSS) the distribution of output variables in the PPF is estimated. A bin-by-bin histogram comparison is used to efficiently compare the perfor­mance of the LSS with other techniques. Second, a Chance Constrained Optimization (CCO) is presented to handle uncertainty in control of transmission voltages. A control scheme is proposed using steady-state system model to achieve the goal of on-line voltage control and prevent long-term voltage instabil­ity. In order to model steady-state system response, the long-term model of governors and automatic voltage regulators are employed in the control scheme.

In carrying out his main duties as a top manager at a madrasah, the head of the madrasah aliyah often faces various problems in efforts to improve teacher performance and competency. This research aims to describe and analyze the strategic management of madrasah heads in improving the performance of MAN teachers. The qualitative research method adopts Terry's management theory, Wheelen & Hunger's strategic management, and Davies' performance theory. The results of this research found that the madrasa's environmental analysis was based on the principles of Hunger and Wheelen. In environmental analysis, the madrasa has based a rational logic value system, which is based on data owned by the institution even though the database is still incomplete. Strategic planning in improving the performance of MAN teachers in these two MANs is by the concept of Hunger & Wheelen using SWOT analysis. It has also formulated a vision, mission, goals, objectives, strategies and policies. While the strategic implementation of Madrasah Heads at these two MANs has implemented the strategic management evaluation principles from Hunger & Wheelen regarding the availability of human resources, they still need more motivation to develop and improve their performance. The strategic control of madrasah heads in improving teacher performance is carried out with guidelines on the main duties and functions of madrasah heads as managers and supervisors. The strategic evaluation of madrasah principals in improving teacher performance has been carried out based on teacher performance assessment.

description: Ordering of the frustrated classical Heisenberg model on the triangular-lattice with an incommensurate spiral spin structure is studied under magnetic fields by means of a mean-field analysis and a Monte Carlo simulation. Several types of multiple-q states including the "skyrmion-lattice" state is observed in addition to the standard single-q state. In contrast to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction driven system, the present model allows both skyrmions and anti-skyrmions, together with a new thermodynamic phase where skyrmion and anti-skyrmion lattices form a domain state.

Detection systems and algorithms for multiplexed quantum dots

description: Quantum Dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals that absorb light and re-emit at a wavelength dependent on its size and shape. A group of quantum dots can be designed to have a unique spectral emission by varying the size of the quantum dots (wavelength) and number of quantum dots (optical power) [l]. This technology is refered to as Multiplexed Quantum Dots (MxQD) and when it was first proposed, MxQD tags were created with 6 optical power levels and one QD colour or 3 QD colours and 2 optical power levels. It was hypothesized that a realistic limit to the number of tags would be a system of 6 optical power levels and 6 QD colours resulting in 46655 unique tags. In recent work, the fabrication and detection of 9 unique tags [2] was demonstrated which is still far from the predicted capability of the technology. The limitations affecting the large number of unique tags are both the fabrication methods and the data detection algorithms used to read the spectral emissions. This thesis makes contributions toward improving the data detection algorithms for MxQD tags. To accomplish this, a communications system model is developed that includes the inteference between QD colours, Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI), and additive noise. The model is developed for the two optical detectors, namely a Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) spectrometer and photodiode detectors. The model also includes an analytical expression for the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S R) of the detectors. For the CCD spectrometer, this model is verified with an experimental prototype. With the models in place, communications systems tools are applied that over­come both ISI and noise. This is an improvement over previous work in the field that only considered algorithms to overcome the ISI or noise separately. Specifically, this thesis outlines the proposal of a matched filter to improve SNR, a Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalizer that mitigates ISI in the presence of noise and a Maximum Likelihood Sequence (MLS) detection algorithm to provide the best detection performance at the cost of higher computational complexity. Simulations demonstrate that the improved data detection algorithms could read 46,655 MxQD tags with over 97% accuracy compared to 11 % or 60% with traditional data detection algorithms for the CCD spectrometer and photo diode detector respectively

description: This dissertation analyzes how the Government of Canada makes decisions to deploy its forces to international conflicts through an examination of the 1996 Zaire peacekeeping mission, the 1999 Kosovo Air War, the 200 I and 2003 deployments to Afghanistan, and the 2003 Iraq War. Although studies of defence policy decisions are common in the United States (US), research on how the Government of Canada decides to go to war has received very little attention in academic literature. In an effort to help address this gap, this study engages two questions: how does the Canadian government decide to go to war? In addition, which influential factor(s) best explain Canadian defence policy decisions towards going to war? Through an in depth analysis of the decision-making process in each case, the dissertation argues that interdepartmental politics, the US, and international organizations, particularly North Atlantic Treaty Organization, play an important role in the decisions that Canada makes to deploy its forces.

description: During water year 2003, Colorado remained in the grasp of a significant drought. Throughout the year drought conditions improved in portions of the state, while other areas experienced worsening drought conditions. Water year precipitation ranged from well below average across southwestern Colorado, to above average in north Central Colorado. Winter snowpack accumulations followed a similar pattern, and were dominated by a single March storm which brought 3 to 5 feet snow to northeastern Colorado. This storm provided most of the drought relief to the state by improving streamflow volumes to near average and allowing water managers to improve reservoir storage volumes. That state experienced a war and dry spring which produced a rapid snowmelt and high peak flows which were short lived. As summer developed streamflow volumes dropped back below average for the remainder of the year. While the 2003 water year brought improved water supplies to much of the state over those of 2002, drought impacts continue to be felt statewide. The water year ended with well below average reservoir storage in all basins of the state, with statewide volumes of 74% of average.
Peristaltic Transport of a Rheological Fluid: Model for Movement of Food Bolus Through Esophagus

description: Fluid mechanical peristaltic transport through esophagus has been of concern in the paper. A mathematical model has been developed with an aim to study the peristaltic transport of a rheological fluid for arbitrary wave shapes and tube lengths. The Ostwald-de Waele power law of viscous fluid is considered here to depict the non-Newtonian behaviour of the fluid. The model is formulated and analyzed with the specific aim of exploring some important information concerning the movement of food bolus through the esophagus. The analysis has been carried out by using lubrication theory. The study is particularly suitable for cases where the Reynolds number is small. The esophagus is treated as a circular tube through which the transport of food bolus takes places by periodic contraction of the esophageal wall. Variation of different variables concerned with the transport phenomena such as pressure, flow velocity, particle trajectory and reflux are investigated for a single wave as well as for a train of periodic peristaltic waves. Locally variable pressure is seen to be highly sensitive to the flow index `n'. The study clearly shows that continuous fluid transport for Newtonian/rheological fluids by wave train propagation is much more effective than widely spaced single wave propagation in the case of peristaltic movement of food bolus in the esophagus.
