Method for Evaluating Impacts of Climate Change on Snowmelt and Rain-on-Snow Events
Creators: name: Clark, Stephen

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Mine water management systems in northern and high-elevation areas should be designed considering the risk posed by snowmelt-induced floods (snowmelt-only and rain-on-snow) in addition to rain-only events. The effects of climate change on these events, over both operational and post-closure timescales, are important to assess. Snowmelt events often govern hydrotechnical designs in Canada; however, estimating snowmelt in a changing climate is complex and lacks guidance. Underestimates of design floods present a considerable risk for mines, with overestimates resulting in substantial costs. This paper describes a quantitative method for evaluating the impacts of climate change on snowmelt events that was applied to a closed mine site in central British Columbia (BC), Canada. A continuous-simulation snowmelt model is proposed to capture the joint probabilities of multiple climate parameters on snowmelt events. This paper includes discussion on the general requirements of a snowmelt model, available models, and sources of historical measured data and global climate model (GCM) projections for Canada. Procedures are included for calibrating and evaluating the accuracy of the snowmelt model, incorporating GCM projections into the model, and for identifying trends and accounting for non-stationary datasets. Lastly, suggestions for interpreting and presenting the results is included. The method was applied to a closed, high-elevation mine site in central BC. The continuoussimulation snowmelt model was originally developed by Klohn Crippen Berger Ltd (KCB) in GoldSim® and calibrated by the authors using available temperature, precipitation, snow course, snow pillow, and streamflow data. Future climate scenarios were run using downscaled CMIP6 GCM data.

Internal thermal noise in the LIGO test masses : a direct approach
Creators: name: Levin, Yuri
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The internal thermal noise in LIGO's test masses is analyzed by a new technique, a direct application of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem to LIGO's readout observable, $x(t)=$(longitudinal position of test-mass face, weighted by laser beam's Gaussian profile). Previous analyses, which relied on a normal-mode decomposition of the test-mass motion, were valid only if the dissipation is uniformally distributed over the test-mass interior, and they converged reliably to a final answer only when the beam size was a non-negligible fraction of the test-mass cross section. This paper's direct analysis, by contrast, can handle inhomogeneous dissipation and arbitrary beam sizes. In the domain of validity of the previous analysis, the two methods give the same answer for $S_x(f)$, the spectral density of thermal noise, to within expected accuracy. The new analysis predicts that thermal noise due to dissipation concentrated in the test mass's front face (e.g. due to mirror coating) scales as $1/r_0^2$, by contrast with homogeneous dissipation, which scales as $1/r_0$ ($r_0$ is the beam radius); so surface dissipation could become significant for small beam sizes.

The Aesthetics of Precision: Environmental Management and Technique in the Architecture of Enclosure, 1946-1986

description: This dissertation explores the paradox of precision in postwar architecture, when dissonant aesthetic desires and concerns regarding environmental regulation forced a reconciliation of material techniques with theoretical accuracy. The modern ideal of exactitude was frequently at odds with the divergent processes of building research, engineering, manufacturing, and environmental management. Suspended within the strata of newly developed curtain walls was a suddenly critical technical and architectural problem: how to achieve the kind of modulated environment implied by the highly regulated lines and taut materiality of the glazed envelope. Unlike outwardly legible structural systems, typically celebrated as modernism’s heroic force, techniques of enclosure defined modern interior atmospheres. Precision was key to demarcating the interior environment, and architects relied upon the burgeoning building products industry for research on the most advanced techniques in glazing, component assembly, solar control, sealants, air-conditioning systems, and weathering protection. The dissertation is structured as four case studies of enclosure details from buildings accommodating diplomacy, industrial production, risk management, and global financial operations: the United Nations Secretariat building (1952), two factory buildings for the Cummins Engine Company (1966 and 1975), the headquarters of insurance broker Willis, Faber & Dumas (1975), and the headquarters of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (1986). While the research centers on fragments of much larger building projects, the analysis of particular enclosures unfolds to address the spatial reverberations of progressive societal shifts over the period, from internationalized conceptions of architecture and statecraft following the Second World War, through western corporate growth and global expansion during the 1960s and 1970s, to the emergence of a neoliberal economic regime inflecting the formation of corporate space during the 1970s and 1980s. The details scrutinized here delineate interiors that operate as microcosms mirroring global social and economic circumstances.

Description of Deconfinement at Finite Matter Density in a Generalized Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Model

description: Recent years have seen extensive applications of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model in the study of matter at high density. There is a good deal of interest in the predictions of diquark condensation and color superconductivity, with suggested applications to the study the properties of neutron stars. As the researchers in this field note, the NJL model does not describe confinement, so that one is limited to the study of the deconfined phase, which may set in at several times nuclear matter density. Recently, we have extended the NJL model to include a covariant confinement model. In the present work our goal is to include a phenomenological model of deconfinement at finite matter density, using some analogy to what is known concerning "string breaking" and deconfinement at finite temperature. Various models may be used, but for this work we choose a specific model for the density dependence of the parameters of our confining interaction. We perform relativistic random-phase-approximation (RPA) calculations of the properties of the $π(138), K(495), f_0(980), a_0(980)$ and $K_0^*(1430)$ mesons and their radial excitations. In the model chosen for this work, there are no mesonic states beyond about $2ρ_{NM}$, where $ρ_{NM}$ is the density of nuclear matter. This inability of the model to support hadronic excitations at large values of the density is taken as a signal of deconfinement. In addition to the density dependence of the confining interaction, we use the density-dependent quark mass values obtained in either the SU(2) or SU(3)-flavor versions of the NJL model.

In this class of models, a large Yukawa coupling allows for significant non-universal leptonic contributions, through box diagrams mediated by charged Higgs bosons and right-handed neutrinos, to the $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transition that can then account for both $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ anomalies.

Varying-order NURBS discretization: An accurate and efficient method for isogeometric analysis of large deformation contact problems
Creators: name: Agrawal, Vishal
name: Gautam, Sachin S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: In this paper, a novel varying order NURBS discretization method is proposed to enhance the performance of isogeometric analysis within the framework of computational contact mechanics. The method makes use of higher-order NURBS for contact integral evaluations. Lower-orders NURBS capable of modelling complex geometries exactly are utilized for the bulk discretization. This unexplored idea provides the possibility to refine the geometry through controllable order elevation strategy for isogeometric analysis. To achieve this, a higher-order NURBS layer is used as the contact boundary layer of the bodies. The NURBS layer is constructed using the surface refinement strategies such that it is accompanied by a large number of additional degrees of freedom and matches with the bulk parametrization. The validity of the presented isogeometric mortar contact formulation with varying-order NURBS discretization is first examined through the contact patch test. The capabilities and benefits of the proposed methodology are then demonstrated in detail using two-dimensional frictionless and frictional contact problems, considering both small and large deformations. It is shown that using the proposed method, accurate solutions can be achieved even with a coarse mesh. It is also shown that the current method requires a considerably lower computational cost compared to standard NURBS discretization while retaining robustness and stability. The simplicity of the method lends itself to be conveniently embedded in an existing isogeometric contact code after only a few minor modifications.

We present an asymptotic theory of these waves in Gray-Scott model. We derive the kinematic relations describing the shape of this spiral and find the dependence of its main parameters on the control parameters. The theory does not rely on the specific features of Gray-Scott model and thus is expected to be applicable to a broad range of reaction-diffusion systems.

description: Most of the searches for Kitaev materials deal with $4d/5d$ magnets with spin-orbit-coupled ${J=1/2}$ local moments such as iridates and $α$-RuCl$_3$. Here we propose the monoclinic YbCl$_3$ with a Yb$^{3+}$ honeycomb lattice for the exploration of Kiteav physics. We perform thermodynamic, $ac$ susceptibility, angle-dependent magnetic torque and neutron diffraction measurements on YbCl$_3$ single crystal. We find that the Yb$^{3+}$ ion exhibits a Kramers doublet ground state that gives rise to an effective spin ${J_{\text{eff}}=1/2}$ local moment. The compound exhibits short-range magnetic order below 1.20 K, followed by a long-range Néel-type antiferromagnetic order at 0.60 K, below which the ordered Yb$^{3+}$ spins lie in the $ac$ plane with an angle of 16(11)$^{\circ}$ away from the $a$ axis. These orders can be suppressed by in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic fields at around 6 and 10 T, respectively. Moreover, the Néel temperature varies non-monotonically under the out-of-plane magnetic fields. The in-plane magnetic anisotropy and the reduced order moment 0.8(1) $μ_B$ at 0.25 K indicate that YbCl$_3$ could be a two-dimensional spin system to proximate the Kitaev physics.

description: The concept of teacher-activism is not new, but activism has generally been framed as human actions or characteristics. This study frames activist practices as non-material affective bodies, defined broadly as something with the power to affect and be affected by other bodies. This power to affect and be affected is what imbues a body with agency. Thus, activist practices are non-material bodies that have agency. The purpose of this study was to explore how the affective bodies of activist practices move across cultures, spaces, and places, and how the practices exert agency as they move. Using multisensory ethnographic methods, this study followed three teacher-activists in their classrooms and at other activist endeavors, in order to sense the effects each teacher’s activist practices had as they exerted their agential powers. Undergirded both by humanist ethnographic methods and post-humanist theories of affect that highlight the ordinary, this study acknowledges the need for the human, even as non-human bodies are the focus. Using an analytical process of rhizomatic mapping the affective forces of the activist practices, this study explored what the practices do to and for each teacher-activist. Information sources for this mapping process included ethnographic fieldnotes, observations and interviews, writing exercises, and voice memos. The findings of this study suggest that considering affects in teacher education for an activist identity may provide a more expansive definition for who constitutes a teacher-activist, spaces in which activism operates, and what actual activist practices can be. It also suggests that attention to affects may make tangible the intangibles of teaching; specifically, the ways in which students are moved by things that seem inconsequential, such as fleeting emotions, ideas, pedagogies, curricula, and classroom decorations. Methodologically, this study adds to an increasing body of empirical studies that support the notion that humanist and post-humanist methods can coexist, and that the contradictions can open, rather than foreclose, possibilities for thinking about what data can do.

description: Conserved quantities such as energy or the electric charge of a closed system, or the Runge-Lenz vector in Kepler dynamics are determined by its global, local, or accidental symmetries. They were instrumental to advances such as the prediction of neutrinos in the (inverse) beta decay process and the development of self-consistent approximate methods for isolated or thermal many-body systems. In contrast, little is known about conservation laws and their consequences in open systems. Recently, a special class of these systems, called parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric systems, has been intensely explored for their remarkable properties that are absent in their closed counterparts. A complete characterization and observation of conserved quantities in these systems and their consequences is still lacking. Here we present a complete set of conserved observables for a broad class of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians and experimentally demonstrate their properties using single-photon linear optical circuit. By simulating the dynamics of a four-site system across a fourth-order exceptional point, we measure its four conserved quantities and demonstrate their consequences. Our results spell out non-local conservation laws in non-unitary dynamics and provide key elements that will underpin self-consistent analysis of non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems that are forthcoming.

description: We introduce a dark neutrino sector which respects a hidden $U(1)^\prime$ gauge symmetry, subsequently broken by the vacuum expectation value of a dark scalar. The model is a self-consistent realisation of an extended hidden sector that communicates with the SM only via the three renormalizable portals, namely neutrino, vector and scalar mixing. The interplay between portal couplings leads to several novel signatures in heavy neutrino, dark photon, and dark scalar searches, typically characterised by multi-leptons plus missing energy and displaced vertices. A striking signature arises in kaon factories such as NA62, where $K^+\to\ell_α^+ν\ell_β^+\ell_β^-$ decays could reveal a heavy neutrino and a light dark photon resonance above backgrounds. Given the open parameter space, we also comment on recent ideas to explain outstanding experimental anomalies, and how they would fit in our proposed model. A minimal extension of the model, possibly motivated by anomaly cancellation, can accommodate a dark matter candidate strongly connected to the neutrino sector.

description: A new tailings dam facility is being designed for niobium ore tailings, which will involve the disposal of a high-density thickened slurry instead of the currently employed diluted slurry. Several advantages were identified to dewater before disposal, including high water recovery, low mobility of tailings, and avoiding particle segregation. Tailings disposal, when carried out in the form of diluted slurry in an underwater disposal structure, has a tendency for particle size segregation, wherein coarse particles tend to settle near the deposition point and the finer particles are carried by the water flux to more distant regions. Segregation causes a loss of reservoir capacity due to the existence of empty spaces between the coarse particles. The objective of this work was to evaluate what solids content is necessary to reach the level of a nonsegregable slurry, and the estimated gain of slurry density. Physical and chemical characterization of the material and simulation tests of tailings disposal were performed in pilot-scale flume tests with different solids content (60 to 70%). Nine flume samples were collected to measure particle size distribution, and the solids content over the course of 9 days, as well as water liberation, were also measured. The results indicated that there is no segregation of particles in high density slurry. Yield stress ranged from 13.1 Pa with 61.8% solids, and reached 88.3 Pa with 69.7% solids. All the conditions showed water liberation, which can reach 10% of the total water in the tailings. The solids content measured indicated that there was water loss due to evaporation after disposal. The disposal angle obtained was 0.98% for the lower solids content and 2.90% for the highest one. The gain of pulp density was 75%, considering that at least 50 Pa was the project target, as well as an increase of 74.9% in density, from 1.156 (18% solids) to 2.022 t/m³ (67.4% solids), which can promote a gain of capacity in the reservoir.
The Albino Mouse Visual System: How Perturbed Retinal Development Leads to Altered Binocular Projections
Creators: Bhansali, Punita
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Neurosciences
subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Albinism is a heterogeneous disorder that occurs when one of several genetic defects causes a disruption in melanin synthesis in the hair, skin, and eyes. Every form of albinism results in hypopigmentation in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the monolayer of epithelial cells surrounding the neural retina. All albino mammals that have been studied display a variety of optic abnormalities, one of which is a reduction in the ipsilateral retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon projection. This thesis addresses the question of how the disruption of melanin synthesis in the RPE leads to abnormal chiasmatic decussation by using a mouse model that has a mutation in the gene encoding tyrosinase, an enzyme required for melanin synthesis. Previously, our lab has shown that Zic2, a zinc finger transcription factor that is expressed in ventrotemporal RGCs from E14.5-E17.5, directs the ipsilateral projection. Zic2 regulates several programs of gene expression important for axon guidance and synaptic connectivity. Zic2 is expressed in fewer RGCs in the albino retina, coincident with the decrease in the ipsilateral RGCs and indicating that cell subtype specification is altered in the VT retina of albino mice. This thesis further characterizes perturbations in RGC genesis and specification in the albino mouse. Analysis of retinogeniculate targeting in the albino mouse revealed a population of contralateral VT RGCS that forms an abnormal patch of terminals in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the mouse, suggestive of misspecification of RGCs in this region. Further, as revealed by expression of Islet1/2 as a marker of differentiated RGCs, the number of differentiated RGCs in the VT retina is lower in the albino compared to pigmented retina, parallel to the reduction of Zic2+ cells. The decrease in Zic2+ and Islet1/2+ cells was explained by birthdating studies, which demonstrated a delay in the wave of RGC production in the albino VT retina at the time when the ipsilateral projection is established. Thus, this thesis provides a link between neurogenesis and specification in the albino retina. To further elucidate the role of melanin synthesis in VT RGC specification, I tested the effects of L-Dopa treatment of embryonic mice on retinal development and found that L-Dopa ameliorated the defects associated with the reduced ipsilateral projection in the albino mouse by regulating cell proliferation and production. The studies in this thesis contribute to an understanding of the mechanism that underlies the disruption of binocular pathways in the albino visual system, and should illuminate how the pigment pathway in the RPE contributes to development of the neural retina in wild type mice.

description: One of the solutions of Einstein field equation with cylindrical symmetry is known as black string solution. In this work, the rotating black string solution in dRGT massive gravity is obtained and then called rotating-dRGT black string solution. This solution is a kind of generalized version of rotating AdS/dS black sting solution containing an additional two more terms characterizing the structure of graviton mass. The horizon structures of the black string are explored. The thermodynamical properties of the black string are investigated. We found that it is possible to obtain the Hawking-Page phase transition depending on the additional structure of the graviton mass, while it is not possible for rotating-AdS/dS black string. By analyzing the free energy, we also found that the stable rotating black string is bigger than the non-rotating one.

description: The superspace flatness conditions which are equivalent to the field equations of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in ten dimensions have not been useful so far to derive non trivial classical solutions. Recently, modified flatness conditions were proposed, which are explicitly integrable (hep-th/9811108), and are based on the breaking of symmetry SO(9,1) -> SO(2,1)xSO(7). In this article, we investigate their physical content. To this end, group-algebraic methods are developed which allow to derive the set of physical fields and their equations of motion from the superfield expansion of the supercurl, systematically. A set of integrable superspace constraints is identified which drastically reduces the field content of the unconstrained superfield but leaves the spectrum including the original Yang-Mills vector field completely off-shell. A weaker set of constraints gives rise to additional fields obeying first order differential equations. Geometrically, the SO(7) covariant superspace constraints descend from a truncation of Witten's original linear system to particular one-parameter families of light-like rays.

description: The existence of large ν_μ-ν_τmixing suggests the likelihood of large smuon-stau mixing in supersymmetric models, leading to μand τnumber violation. In addition to interesting signatures in slepton and neutralino production and decay, this will lead to rare τdecays, such as τ--> mu γ. Recently, it has been pointed out that the τ--> 3μbranching ratio could be substantial in the large \tanβregion of parameter space, due to an induced μ-τ-Higgs vertex. In this paper, another signature, τ--> μηis considered. In the large \tanβregion, it is shown that the branching ratio of τ--> μηis 8.4 times the branching ratio of τ--> 3μ, independent of any unknown parameters, and it will thus give the most stringent bound on Higgs-mediated lepton flavor violation, and may provide its first signature. In the other regions of parameter space, where τ--> μγis the most prominent decay, the branching ratio for τ--> μηis always substantially lower.

description: Trajectories of charged particle in combined poloidal, toroidal magnetic field and rotation-induced unipolar electric field superposed in Schwarzschild background geometry have been investigated extensively in the context of accreting black holes. The main purpose of the paper is to obtain a reasonably well insight on the effect of spacetime curvature to the electromagnetic field surrounding black holes. The coupled equations of motion have been solved numerically and the results have been compared with that for flat spacetime. It is found that the toroidal magnetic field dominates the induced electric field in determining the motion of charged particles in curved spacetime. The combined electromagnetic field repels a charged particle from the vicinity of a compact massive object and deconfines the particle from its orbit. In the absence of toroidal magnetic field the particle is trapped in a closed orbit. The major role of gravitation is to reduce the radius of gyration significantly while the electric field provides an additional force perpendicular to the circular orbit. Although the effect of inertial frame dragging and the effect of magnetospheric plasma have been neglected, the results provide a reasonably well qualitative picture of the important role played by gravitation in modifying the electromagnetic field near accreting black holes and hence the results have potentially important implications on the dynamics of the fluid and the radiation spectrum associated with accreting black holes.

description: Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over a finite field $\mathfrak{f}$ of order $q$. When $q$ is small, we make further assumptions on $G$. Then we determine precisely when $G(\mathfrak{f})$ admits irreducible, cuspidal representations that are self-dual, of Deligne-Lusztig type, or both. Finally, we outline some consequences for the existence of self-dual supercuspidal representations of reductive $p$-adic groups.

description: This paper gives a comprehensive analysis of algebras of Colombeau-type generalized functions in the range between the diffeomorphism-invariant quotient algebra $\mathcal{G}^d = \mathcal{E}_M/\mathcal{N}$ introduced in part I and Colombeau's original algebra $\mathcal{G}^e$. Three main results are established: First, a simple criterion describing membership in $\mathcal{N}$ (applicable to all types of Colombeau algebras) is given. Second, two counterexamples demonstrate that $\mathcal{G}^d$ is not injectively included in $\mathcal{G}^e$. Finally, it is shown that in the range ``between'' $\mathcal{G}^d$ and $\mathcal{G}^e$ only one more construction leads to a diffeomorphism invariant algebra. In analyzing the latter, several classification results essential for obtaining an intrinsic description of $\mathcal{G}^d$ on manifolds are derived.

description: We discuss the structure of the neutrino mass matrix as derived from a nonuniversal electroweak gauge interaction model. We discuss two interesting patterns of neutrino masses. The first pattern is hierarchal which fits the LMA or LOW solutions of solar neutrino data. The second pattern gives rise to inverted mass spectrum which fits the currently not preferred SMA solution. The mechanism for generating a light sterile neutrino mass is interesting and is briefly discussed.

description: Nonextreme black hole in a cavity can achieve the extreme state with a zero surface gravity at a finite temperature on a boundary, the proper distance between the boundary and the horizon being finite. The classical geometry in this state is found explicitly for four-dimensional spherically-symmetrical and 2+1 rotating holes. In the first case the limiting geometry depends only on one scale factor and the whole Euclidean manifold is described by the Bertotti-Robinson spacetime. The general structure of a metric in the limit under consideration is also found with quantum corrections taken into account. Its angular part represents two-sphere of a constant radius. In all cases the Lorentzian counterparts of the metrics are free from singularities.

description: This dissertation illuminates the participation of ordinary Black and white women in the Civil Rights Movement by examining an antipoverty program called The Mississippi Box Project. Founded in 1962 by Virginia Naeve, a white artist, pacifist, and mother, The Box Project was a grassroots family-to-family postal benevolence program that paired poor African American families in Mississippi with white New England families, who exchanged food and clothing for letters of gratitude and firsthand accounts of the Civil Rights Movement. Within a few years over 3,000 Mississippians and 300 white outsiders were exchanging goods and letters through the clandestine channels of the United States Postal System. This dissertation is the first to analyze the Box Project’s correspondence between Mississippi women and New England women. Using archived organizational records, state and federal poverty data, and oral histories, The dissertation demonstrates the ways in which everyday women imagined themselves as participants and political actors through the exchange of in the Civil Rights Movement, explores their constraints to direct-action political engagement, and considers the role of benevolence and charity in social movements.The Box Project, I argue, is a microcosm through which to explore the relationship between motherhood, race, activism, and political consciousness in 1960s-era social movement networks. My project moves the historiography of the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement beyond a traditional activist-centered, “organizing tradition” narrative by centering the experiences of ordinary rural Black women. The project also argues that middle-aged white women and mothers in the Northeast understood Box Project benevolence as the appropriate form of engagement within the Civil Rights Movement. Engaging questions around the ethics and efficacy of the antipoverty program’s reliance on white sympathy to meet the lasting needs of the poor, the dissertation considers the limitations of individual charity and benevolence meant to alleviate poverty and support racial justice. Bringing together the histories of the Civil Rights Movement, the War on Poverty, and Pacifism with this history of the Mississippi Box Project, I illuminate the successes and failures of benevolence and federally backed, locally implemented social welfare interventions of the 1960s, and reflect on the legacy of an era that sought to bring about social and economic change to Black Americans in Mississippi.
