The effect of pH adjustment on the internal corrosion rate of cast iron and copper water distribution pipes
Creators: name: Millette, Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Two experimental sessions were conducted to examine to effects of pH adjustment on internal corrosion of cast iron and copper water distribution pipes. The Greater Vancouver Regional District uses surface lakes as its potable water source. As confirmed by chemical water characteristics monitoring, the supplied tap water has several of the attributes of an aggressive water: low pH (4.9 to 5.7), low alkalinity (10 to 15 mg/L as CaCO₃), low hardness (6 to 7 mg/L as CaCO₃), and dissolved oxygen consistently near saturation. Because of this aggressive nature, the tap water has a tendency to dissolve water distribution pipes, and in particular domestic copper pipes (municipal cast iron mains are cement lined for corrosion protection). This accelerated corrosion of copper pipes not only increases the maintenance costs for home owners, it also encourages high levels of copper in their tap water. This last finding was confirmed by a preliminary tap water metal concentration survey wherein, after a month of sampling of six dwellings, it was found that the recommended maximum copper level of 1.0 mg/L was exceeded in 67% of the cold water morning first flush samples. The investigated corrosion control measure consisted of pH adjustment to target values of 6, 7 and 8, through the addition of hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂). Cast iron and copper pipe samples were exposed to pH adjusted water for durations ranging from one to twelve weeks. For the most part, the adjusted pH experimental flow-through units were gravity-fed; however, to examine the effects of the much higher normal distribution system pressure, another set of control units were maintained at system pressure. Although it was found that the absolute winter corrosion rates were higher than the summer rates, analysis of the relative coupon weight loss variations, with reference to the gravity control unit, lead to two major findings. The corrosion rates of cast iron were ten times those of copper and the increased pH acted to enhance these cast iron corrosion rates by approximately 15%. However, pH adjustment successfully decreased copper corrosion by 68%. The effects of the increased pressure on corrosion were different for both metals. The corrosion rates of cast iron coupons in the control pressurized cells were twice the rates of the coupons in the gravity control units. The effect of the increased pressure on copper was not as marked, but the rates were found to be slightly lower than expected from the pressurized water lower pH.

description: The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), a $\sim$200 pc sized region around the Galactic Centre, is peculiar in that it shows a star formation rate (SFR) that is suppressed with respect to the available dense gas. To study the SFR in the CMZ, young stellar objects (YSOs) can be investigated. Here we present radio observations of 334 2.2 $μ$m infrared sources that have been identified as YSO candidates. Our goal is to investigate the presence of centimetre wavelength radio continuum counterparts to this sample of YSO candidates which we use to constrain the current SFR in the CMZ. As part of the GLOSTAR survey, D-configuration VLA data was obtained for the Galactic Centre, covering -2$^{\circ}

description: Fluctuations in the vicinity of a phase transition are important but neglected in mean-field theory. In order to assess the influence of such fluctuations on the critical endpoint and the size of the critical region in the QCD phase diagram, a mean-field calculation of a two-flavor quark-meson model is compared with a renormalization group approach. However, due to the lack of confinement in this effective model the equation of state near the chiral phase transition is still unrealistic. A first improvement of this model can be achieved by coupling quark degrees of freedom to the Polyakov loop, consequently incorporating certain aspects of confinement. The influence of these modifications on the resulting phase diagram is discussed.

description: Project Objectives
As the Sierra Nevada foothill towns of Paradise, Magalia, and Concow-Yankee Hill rebuild after the devastating Camp Fire of 2018, the community has an opportunity to incorporate strategies to increase its resilience to fire and climate change, enhance the safety and well-being of its residents, and successfully steward the surrounding natural areas that make it a beautiful place to live.

This project sought to establish whether there is there a scientific justification for a buffer zone around a community that can provide both a boundary for urban growth to reduce habitat fragmentation and impacts and enable safer communities for people. In addition, this project used Paradise, California as a case study to develop a model prioritization schema.
Approach
Conservation Biology Institute (CBI), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and the Paradise Recreation and Parks District (PRPD) partnered to explore community design elements with the intention to test the concept that a community can be protected from ignitions from wildland fires with the use of Wildfire Risk Reduction Buffers (WRRBs) between the urban area and the wildlands.

We defined WRRBs as zones comprised of green land uses or "greenbelts" of parkland, orchards, and other low ignition-risk land uses, combined with wildland properties managed for fire risk reduction.

We explored how WRRBs could reduce urban ignition risks while offering additional benefits, including open space for recreation, emergency refuges and staging areas for fire-fighting, and conservation benefits by decreasing edge effects of human settlements.

Gaussian quantum metrology in a dissipative environment

description: Quantum metrology pursues high-precision measurements of physical quantities by using quantum resources. However, the decoherence generally hinders its performance. Previous work found that the metrological error tends to diverge in the long-encoding-time regime due to the Born-Markovian approximate decoherence, which is called the no-go theorem of noisy quantum metrology. Here we propose a Gaussian quantum metrology scheme using bimodal quantized optical fields as the quantum probe. It achieves the precision of a sub-Heisenberg limit in the ideal case. However, the Markovian decoherence causes the metrological error contributed by the center-of-mass mode of the probe to be divergent. A mechanism to remove this ostensible no-go theorem is found in the non-Markovian dynamics. Our result gives an efficient way to realize high-precision quantum metrology in practical continuous-variable systems.

description: String theory compactification involves manifolds with multiple warp factors. For cosmological applications, one often introduces a short, high-energy inflationary throat, and a long,low-energy Standard Model throat. It is assumed that at the end of inflation,the excited Kaluza-Klein modes from the Inflationary throat tunnel to the SM throat and reheat Standard Model degrees of freedom, which are attached to probe brane(s). However, the huge hierarchy of energy scales can result in a highly dynamic transition of the throat geometry. We point out that in such a cosmological scenario the Standard Model throat (together with SM brane) will be cloaked by a Schwarzschild horizon, produced by the Kaluza-Klein modes tunneling from the short throat. The Black Brane formation is dual to the first order chiral phase transition of the cascading gauge theory. We calculate the critical energy density corresponding the formation of the the BH horizon in the long throat. We discuss the duality between "Black Universe" cosmology and an expanding universe driven by the hot gauge theory radiation. We address the new problem of the hierarchical multiple-throat scenarios: SM brane disappearance after the decay of the BH horizon.

description: In this paper we show how weak joint measurement and local feedback can be used to control entanglement generation between two qubits. To do this, we make use of a decoherence free subspace (DFS). Weak measurement and feedback can be used to drive the system into this subspace rapidly. Once within the subspace, feedback can generate entanglement rapidly, or turn off entanglement generation dynamically. We also consider, in the context of weak measurement, some of differences between purification and generating entanglement.

description: We study theoretically optomechanical damping and amplification spectra for vibrations interacting with excitonic polaritons in a zero-dimensional microcavity. We demonstrate, that the spectra strongly depend on the ratio of the exciton-phonon and the photon-phonon coupling constants. The interference between these couplings enables a situation when optomechanical gain exists either only for a lower polaritonic resonance or only for an upper polaritonic resonance. Our results provide insight in the optomechanical interactions in various multi-mode systems, where several resonant oscillators, such as photons, plasmons, or excitons are coupled to the same vibration mode.

description: CONTEXT. Hydrodynamical cosmological simulations predict flows of the intergalactic medium along the radial vector of the voids, approximately in the direction of the infall of matter at the early stages of the galaxy formation. AIMS. These flows might be detected by analysing the dependence of the warp amplitude on the inclination of the galaxies at the shells of the voids with respect to the radial vector of the voids. This analysis will be the topic of this paper. METHODS. We develop a statistical method of analysing the correlation of the amplitude of the warp and the inclination of the galaxy at the void surface. This is applied to a sample of 97 edge-on galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our results are compared with the theoretical expectations, which are also derived in this paper. RESULTS. Our results allow us to reject the null hypothesis (i.e., the non-correlation of the warp amplitude and the inclination of the galaxy with respect to the void surface) at 94.4% C. L., which is not conclusive. The absence of the radial flows cannot be excluded at present, although we can put a constraint on the maximum average density of baryonic matter of the radial flows of

description: Fractional derivative can be defined as a fractional power of derivative. The commutator (i/h)[H, ], which is used in the Heisenberg equation, is a derivation on a set of observables. A derivation is a map that satisfies the Leibnitz rule. In this paper, we consider a fractional derivative on a set of quantum observables as a fractional power of the commutator (i/h)[H, ]. As a result, we obtain a fractional generalization of the Heisenberg equation. The fractional Heisenberg equation is exactly solved for the Hamiltonians of free particle and harmonic oscillator. The suggested Heisenberg equation generalize a notion of quantum Hamiltonian systems to describe quantum dissipative processes.

Slides for: Interconnection of Inverter-Based Resources � Power Quality Aspects
The worldwide acceptance of renewable energies has led to the emergence of a new type of generators in power systems - the Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs). The IBRs send power into the grid through power electronic interfaces. As a result, there are concerns on IBR's potential power quality impact especially in the form of harmonic distortions on the interconnected power systems. The IEEE Std. 2800-2022, for example, recommends performing harmonic impact evaluation for any transmission-connected IBR projects. This webinar is to share the latest research findings on how to model IBRs for harmonic studies and the actual industry experiences of conducting IBR interconnection studies. The topics include 1) Characteristics and responses of IBRs at harmonic frequencies; 2) Modeling of IBRs per the requirement of IEEE Std. 2800; 3) The types of harmonics studies for IBR interconnection projects; and 4) Examples of actual industry interconnection studies. In addition, the webinar will cover (briefly) other power quality issues of IBRs. This webinar is also an opportunity for the presenters to receive industry input as they are actively engaged in the development of IEEE P2800.2 Recommended Practice for Test and Verification Procedures for Inverter-based Resources (IBRs) Interconnecting with Bulk Power Systems.

In the advent of Virtual Summation Meters, entire meter data can be visualized on computers. Thus, the utility engineer can monitor this data on his or her laptop or mobile phone from any place in the world. The virtual energy meters are basically IoT enabled meters. The summation of consumptions is performed using Python TensorFlow libraries.   The main contents of the proposed webinar are � types of summations meters, comparative advantages of virtual energy meters, basic working of virtual summation meters , measurements using IoT devices, report generation for a specified period.

description: We report a sensitive study of measuring $b\to sγ$ photon polarisation in $D^{0}\to K_1(1270)^-e^+ν_e$ with an integrated luminosity of $\mathcal L$ = 1 ab$^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV at future Super Tau Charm Facility. More than 61,000 signals of $D^{0}\to K_1(1270)^-e^+ν_e$ are expected. Based on a fast simulation software package, the statistical sensitivity for the ratio of up-down asymmetry is estimated to be $1.5\times 10^{-2}$ by performing a two-dimensional angular analysis in $D^{0}\to K_1(1270)^-e^+ν_e$. Combining with measurements of up-down asymmetry in $B\to K_1γ$, the photon polarisation in $b\to sγ$ can be determined model-independently.

Cruise Control Model for Teaching Homeostasis
Creators: name: Chovnick, Amy
Publisher: name: QUBES Educational Resources
Year: 2025

description: During the first lectures of the semester students will be introduced to the mechanism of negative feedback loops in homeostatic regulation by using cruise control in a car as a nonbiological analog. They will fill out a standardized pictorial representation of homeostatic regulation to identify the setpoint, regulated variable, sensor, control center and effector(s). Then for each organ system where there are physiological variables that are homeostatically regulated, the students use the same pictorial representation to identify the organismal parts for the 5 parts in the diagram. Students will work in groups to use their completed diagram to solve case studies where homeostasis goes awry and identify the part(s) of the feedback loop impacted and the resulting effect on the body.
Low-Power Acoustic Inertial Measurement Chips for Health

Webinar Slides
ABSTRACT: This talk describes the development of acoustic inertial measurement sensors which comprises of wideband uni-directional accelerometer contact microphones with micro-gravity resolution and multi-axis resonator gyroscopes with self-calibration capabilities for use as acoustic auscultation devices in body-worn sensor arrays. Combining such devices into a multi-degree-of-freedom inertial measurement unit (IMU) on a single-chip enables the simultaneous measurement of pulmonary lung sounds, chest wall motion, heart mechano-acoustic signals, as well as of user body motion. The CMOS ASIC for the acoustic IMU consists of switched capacitor and transimpedance amplifier front-end circuits that utilize correlated double sampling and chopping for the dynamic cancellation of offset and flicker noise, and use charge injection calibration techniques to compensate for MEMS capacitor mismatch.  For tuning and alignment of gyroscopic resonators, low-noise high-voltage (20V) charge pumps are implemented on-chip. We discuss the prospects of reducing power while maintaining precision in interface ICs for MEMS IMUs and review a few IoT applications of these devices.

Theoretical methods to design and test quantum simulators for the compact Abelian Higgs model

description: The lattice compact Abelian Higgs model is a non-perturbative regularized formulation of low-energy scalar quantum electrodynamics. In 1+1 dimensions, this model can be quantum simulated using a ladder-shaped optical lattice with Rydberg-dressed atoms (Zhang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 223201). In this setup, one spatial dimension is used to carry the angular momentum of the quantum rotors. One can use truncations corresponding to spin-2 and spin-1 to build local Hilbert spaces associated with the links of the lattice. We argue that ladder-shaped configurable arrays of Rydberg atoms can be used for the same purpose. We make concrete proposals involving two and three Rydberg atoms to build one local spin-1 space (a qutrit). We show that the building blocks of the Hamiltonian calculations are models with one and two spins. We compare target and simulators using perturbative and numerical methods. The two-atom setup provides an easily controllable simulator of the one-spin model while the three-atom setup involves solving nonlinear equations. This could be tested with current technology. We argue that near-term technology could be used to quantum simulate models with two or more spins.

description: We have searched for in-falling stellar streams on to the local Milky Way disc in the CORAVEL and RAVE surveys. The CORAVEL survey consists of local dwarf stars (Nordstrom et al. Geneva-Copenhagen survey) and local Famaey et al. giant stars. We select RAVE stars with radial velocities that are sensitive to the Galactic vertical space velocity (Galactic latitude b < -45 deg). Kuiper statistics have been employed to test the symmetry of the Galactic vertical velocity distribution functions in these samples for evidence of a net vertical flow that could be associated with a (tidal?) stream of stars with vertically coherent kinematics. In contrast to the `Field of Streams' found in the outer halo, we find that the local volumes of the solar neighbourhood sampled by the CORAVEL dwarfs (complete within ~3 x 10^-4 kpc^3), CORAVEL giants (complete within ~5 x 10^-2 kpc^3) and RAVE (5-15% complete within ~8 kpc^3) are devoid of any vertically coherent streams containing hundreds of stars. This is sufficiently sensitive to allow our RAVE sample to rule out the passing of the tidal stream of the disrupting Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy through the solar neighbourhood. This agrees with the most recent determination of its orbit and dissociates it from the Helmi et al. halo stream. Our constraints on the absence of the Sgr stream near the Sun could prove a useful tool for discriminating between Galactic potential models. The lack of a net vertical flow through the solar neighbourhood in the CORAVEL giants and RAVE samples argues against the Virgo overdensity crossing the disc near the Sun. There are no vertical streams in the CORAVEL giants and RAVE samples with stellar densities >1.6 x 10^4 and 1.5 x 10^3 stars kpc^-3 respectively and therefore no evidence for locally enhanced dark matter.

Position-dependent mass effects on a bilayer graphene catenoid bridge

description: We study the electronic properties of a position-dependent effective mass electron on a bilayer graphene catenoid bridge. We propose a position-dependent mass (PDM) as a function of both gaussian and mean curvature. The hamiltonian exhibits parity and time-reversal steaming from the bridge symmetry. The effective potential contains the da Costa, centrifugal and PDM terms which are concentrated around the catenoid bridge. For zero angular momentum states, the PDM term provides a transition between a reflectionless to a double-well potential. As a result, the bound states undergo a transition from a single state around the bridge throat into two states each one located at rings around the bridge. Above some critical value of the PDM coupling constant, the degeneracy is restored due to double-well tunneling resonance.

description: Using the asymptotic-expansion technique, we compute the dominant two-loop electroweak corrections, of O(G_F m_t^2), to production and decay via a pair of photons or gluons of the CP-odd Higgs boson A^0 in a two-Higgs-doublet model with low- to intermediate values of the Higgs-boson masses and ratio tan(beta)=v_2/v_1 of the vacuum expectation values. We also study the influence of a sequential heavy-fermion generation. The appearance of three gamma_5 matrices in closed fermion loops requires special care in the dimensional regularisation of ultraviolet divergences. The finite renormalisation constant for the pseudoscalar current effectively restoring the anticommutativity of the gamma_5 matrix, familiar from perturbative quantum chromodynamics, is found not to receive a correction in this order. We also revisit the dominant two-loop electroweak correction to the H -> gamma gamma decay width in the standard model with a fourth fermion generation.

Proceedings from FEPPCON XI 2022
Abstract: This year, after a hiatus due to the global pandemic, the IEEE Power Electronics Society�s Long Range Planning committee has selected the Land of Fire and Ice to convene its technical forecasting and strategic planning forum known as FEPPCON - Future of Electronic Power Processing and Conversion. This is the 11th installment of FEPPCON, which serves to drive future PELS initiatives and predictions of what will be relevant in the coming years for the power electronics industry.   Since the last assembly of FEPPCON, the world has experienced a global pandemic, supply shortages and supply chain issues, an intensification of transportation electrification, a higher frequency of cyber-attacks, accelerating growth of solar PV deployment, and more political instability among world powers. FEPPCON XI is organized to explore and discuss the ever-growing role of power electronics against this vibrant world canvas full of positives and negatives, ups and downs. The event is held in Reykjavik, Iceland, which itself is a land of many fabrics: green and stark, volcanic and frozen, remote and sustainable.

Theme - Powering Global Progress Even in the past 5 years, power electronics is becoming more and more widespread in commercial applications. We will explore challenges, opportunities, and research directions beyond 2025, including both emerging and incumbent applications.

 Specific objectives are:
-	Identify future key R&D tracks and possible show stoppers in power electronics technology, as applicable to electronic power systems.
-	Identify possible opportunities for disruptive technology research- materials, components, equipment, systems.
