Groundwater and surface water management and drinking water issues in the Hatzic Valley
Creators: name: Magwood, Simone Barbara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In rural areas, water is often supplied by private groundwater wells. Individual well owners have little control over the quality of their drinking water which can be impacted by adjacent land use. The objectives of this project were to determine the quality of drinking water in a rural watershed, investigate the links between groundwater, surface water and land use, and compare the results with the residents' perceptions. Field research was conducted in the Hatzic Valley in the Lower Fraser Valley of British Columbia, a rural watershed with mixed land use. With the help of local volunteers, 75 groundwater samples were collected and analysed in July 2002 and March 2003. Stream water samples were collected at 19 stations semi-monthly between May 2002 and May 2003 to determine linkages between 1) land use and surface water and 2) surface water and groundwater quality. A spatial database was created and the percentage of the four predominant land uses were calculated within several radii of the wells sampled. The perceptions and opinions of local residents were collected using a questionnaire and the results compared with the water quality data. Analysis showed that water quality throughout the valley is good; however, two wells exceeded the health standard for nitrate-N and 10 more wells had nitrate-N levels above 3 mg/L (considered indicative of land use impacts). All the wells with elevated N03-N were shallow (less than 12 m deep). Percent forest cover surrounding the wells was negatively correlated with nitrate level, while percent urbanised land was positively related to nitrate. The cause of high nitrate in the urban areas is thought to be from septic systems. Surface water quality was also high but showed overall degradation from headwaters to the mouth as agriculture increased in the watershed. The majority of residents perceived their water quality to be good or excellent. The residents base their perceptions on tangible indicators rather than chemically determined ones as those who have negative perceptions of their water tended to have high levels of iron and manganese rather than nitrate. The latter is detectable without chemical analysis while the former is not. Very few filter, treat or test their water quality on a regular basis.

description: China had been singled out by Western politicians and media for dragging its feet on international climate negotiations at Copenhagen, the accusations previously always targeted on the U.S. To put such a criticism into perspective, this paper provides some reflections on China’s stance and reactions at Copenhagen. While China’s reactions are generally well rooted because of realities at home, some reactions could have been handled more effectively for a better image of China. The paper also addresses the reliability of China’s statistics on energy and GDP, the issue crucial to the reliability of China’s carbon intensity commitments. The paper discusses flaws in current international climate negotiations and closes with my suggestion that international climate negotiations need to focus on 2030 as the targeted date.

description: Coherent X-ray diffraction microscopy is a method of imaging non-periodic isolated objects at resolutions only limited, in principle, by the largest scattering angles recorded. We demonstrate X-ray diffraction imaging with high resolution in all three dimensions, as determined by a quantitative analysis of the reconstructed volume images. These images are retrieved from the 3D diffraction data using no a priori knowledge about the shape or composition of the object, which has never before been demonstrated on a non-periodic object. We also construct 2D images of thick objects with infinite depth of focus (without loss of transverse spatial resolution). These methods can be used to image biological and materials science samples at high resolution using X-ray undulator radiation, and establishes the techniques to be used in atomic-resolution ultrafast imaging at X-ray free-electron laser sources.

Assessing China’s Energy Conservation and Carbon Intensity: How Will the Future Differ from the Past?

description: As an important step towards building a “harmonious society” through “scientific development”, China has incorporated for the first time in its five-year economic plan an energy input indicator as a constraint. While it achieved a quadrupling of its GDP while cutting its energy intensity by about three quarters between 1980 and 2000, China has had limited success in achieving its own 20% energy-saving goal set for 2010 to date. Despite this great challenge at home, just prior to the Copenhagen climate summit, China pledged to cut its carbon intensity by 40-45% by 2020 relative its 2005 levels to help to reach an international climate change agreement at Copenhagen or beyond. This raises the issue of whether such a pledge is ambitious or just represents business as usual. To put China’s climate pledge into perspective, this paper examines whether this proposed carbon intensity goal for 2020 is as challenging as the energy-saving goals set in the current 11th five-year economic blueprint, to what extent it drives China’s emissions below its projected baseline levels, and whether China will fulfill its part of a coordinated global commitment to stabilize the concentration of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere at the desirable level. Given that China’s pledge is in the form of carbon intensity, the paper shows that GDP figures are even more crucial to the impacts on the energy or carbon intensity than are energy consumption and emissions data by examining the revisions of China’s GDP figures and energy consumption in recent years. Moreover, the paper emphasizes that China’s proposed carbon intensity target not only needs to be seen as ambitious, but more importantly it needs to be credible. Given that China has shifted control over resources and decision making to local governments as the result of the economic reforms during the past three decades, the paper argues the need to carefully examine those objective and subjective factors that lead to the lack of local official’s cooperation on the environment, and concludes that their cooperation, and strict implementation and coordination of the policies and measures enacted are of paramount importance to meeting China’s existing energy-saving goal in 2010, its proposed carbon intensity target in 2020 and whatever climate commitments beyond 2020 that China may take.

description: Disintegrating planets are ultra-short-period exoplanets that appear to have a comet-like dust tail. They are commonly interpreted as low-mass planets whose solid surface is evaporating and whose tail is made of recondensing minerals. Transmission spectroscopy of the dust tails could thus allow us to directly probe the elementary compositions of the planets. Previous work already investigated the feasibility of such observations using the JWST mid-infrared instrument. In this study, we explore if one can obtain a strong constrain on the tail composition by adding spectroscopy at longer wavelengths using SPICA mid-infrared instrument. We use a simple model for the spatial distribution of the dust tails and produce their synthetic transmission spectra assuming various dust compositions. We find that combined infrared spectra from JWST and SPICA will allow us to diagnose various components of the dust tails. JWST will be able to detect silicate and carbide absorption features with a feature-to-noise ratio of $\gtrsim$ 3 in the tail transmission spectrum of a disintegrating planet located within 100 pc from the Earth with a transit depth deeper than 0.5%. SPICA can distinguish between Fe- and Mg-bearing crystalline silicates for planets at $\lesssim$ 100 pc with a transit depth of $\gtrsim$ 2%. Transit searches with current and future space telescopes (e.g., $TESS$ and PLATO) will provide ideal targets for such spectroscopic observations.

description: The northern cod fishery was once one of the world’s largest capture fisheries. Using data from the fishery, this research calculated the economic value of a marine reserve using a stochastic optimal control model with a jump-diffusion process. The analysis shows that, an optimal-sized marine reserve in this fishery would have prevented the fishery’s collapse and generated a triple payoff. Even if harvesting had been ‘optimal’ the profits from fishing would have been raised. The recovery time would also have decreased for the biomass to return to its former state and smoothed fishers’ harvests and profits. Following a negative shock, the chance of a catastrophic collapse would have been lowered.

description: We study the vacuum, plane-wave Bianchi $VII{}_{h}$ spacetimes described by the Lukash metric. Combining covariant with orthonormal frame techniques, we describe these models in terms of their irreducible kinematical and geometrical quantities. This covariant description is used to study analytically the response of the Lukash spacetime to linear perturbations. We find that the stability of the vacuum solution depends crucially on the background shear anisotropy. The stronger the deviation from the Hubble expansion, the more likely the overall linear instability of the model. Our analysis addresses rotational, shear and Weyl curvature perturbations and identifies conditions sufficient for the linear growth of these distortions.

description: Survey data from over 1,600 households in ten countries were used to analyse the determinants of residential water demand. Results show that in every country the price elasticity is negative and statistically significant. Households that do not have to pay for the water they use (volumetric water charges) consume about a third more water than similar households that do have to pay such charges. Consumers’ attitudes do not have a statistically significant effect on total water use, although they do increase the probability of households using some water saving behaviours. Volumetric water charges also have an impact on the adoption of water saving actions. Full-cost water pricing appears to be a highly effective instrument to manage residential water demand.

description: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly become a global health concern after its first known detection in December 2019. As a result, accurate and reliable advance warning system for the early diagnosis of COVID-19 has now become a priority. The detection of COVID-19 in early stages is not a straightforward task from chest X-ray images according to expert medical doctors because the traces of the infection are visible only when the disease has progressed to a moderate or severe stage. In this study, our first aim is to evaluate the ability of recent \textit{state-of-the-art} Machine Learning techniques for the early detection of COVID-19 from chest X-ray images. Both compact classifiers and deep learning approaches are considered in this study. Furthermore, we propose a recent compact classifier, Convolutional Support Estimator Network (CSEN) approach for this purpose since it is well-suited for a scarce-data classification task. Finally, this study introduces a new benchmark dataset called Early-QaTa-COV19, which consists of 1065 early-stage COVID-19 pneumonia samples (very limited or no infection signs) labelled by the medical doctors and 12 544 samples for control (normal) class. A detailed set of experiments shows that the CSEN achieves the top (over 97%) sensitivity with over 95.5% specificity. Moreover, DenseNet-121 network produces the leading performance among other deep networks with 95% sensitivity and 99.74% specificity.

description: We reveal the microscopic self-diffusion process of compact tri-interstitials in silicon using a combination of molecular dynamics and nudged elastic band methods. We find that the compact tri-interstitial moves by a collective displacement, involving both translation and rotation, of five atoms in a screw-like motion along $[111]$ directions. The elucidation of this pathway demonstrates the utility of combining tight-binding molecular dynamics with \textit{ab initio} density functional calculations to probe diffusion mechanisms. Using density functional theory to obtain diffusion barriers and the prefactor, we calculate a diffusion constant of $ 4 \cdot 10^{-5} \exp (- 0.49 {\rm eV} / k_{B} T) {\rm cm^2/s} $. Because of the low diffusion barrier, $I_{3}^{b}$ diffusion may be an important process under conditions such as ion implantation that creates excess interstitials, hence favoring formation of interstitial clusters.

description: The superconductivity of high transition temperature (Tc) occurs in copper oxides with carrier-doping to an antiferromagnetic (AF) Mott insulator. This discovery more than thirty years ago immediately led to a prediction about the formation of a small Fermi pocket. This structure, however, has not yet been detected, while it could be a key element in relating high-Tc superconductivity to Mott physics. To address this long-standing issue, we investigate the electronic structure of a five-layered Ba2Ca4Cu5O10(F,O)2 with inner CuO2 planes demonstrated to be cleanest ever in cuprates. Most surprisingly, we find small Fermi surface (FS) pockets closed around (pi/2,pi/2) consistently by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and quantum oscillation measurements. The d-wave superconducting gap opens along the pocket, revealing the coexistence between the superconductivity and AF order in the same CuO2 sheet. Our data further indicate that the superconductivity can occur without contribution from the states near the antinodal region, which are shared by other competing excitations such as the charge density wave (CDW) and pseudogap states. This will have significant implications for understanding the superconductivity and puzzling Fermi arc phenomena in cuprates.

description: Capsule Networks (CapsNets), recently proposed by the Google Brain team, have superior learning capabilities in machine learning tasks, like image classification, compared to the traditional CNNs. However, CapsNets require extremely intense computations and are difficult to be deployed in their original form at the resource-constrained edge devices. This paper makes the first attempt to quantize CapsNet models, to enable their efficient edge implementations, by developing a specialized quantization framework for CapsNets. We evaluate our framework for several benchmarks. On a deep CapsNet model for the CIFAR10 dataset, the framework reduces the memory footprint by 6.2x, with only 0.15% accuracy loss. We will open-source our framework at https://git.io/JvDIF in August 2020.

Markov chains with doubly stochastic transition matrices and application to a sequence of non-selective quantum measurements
Creators: name: Vourdas, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A time-dependent finite-state Markov chain that uses doubly stochastic transition matrices, is considered. Entropic quantities that describe the randomness of the probability vectors, and also the randomness of the discrete paths, are studied. Universal convex polytopes are introduced which contain all future probability vectors, and which are based on the Birkhoff-von Neumann expansion for doubly stochastic matrices. They are universal in the sense that they depend only on the present probability vector, and are independent of the doubly stochastic transition matrices that describe time evolution in the future. It is shown that as the discrete time increases these convex polytopes shrink, and the minimum entropy of the probability vectors in them increases. These ideas are applied to a sequence of non-selective measurements (with different projectors in each step) on a quantum system with $d$-dimensional Hilbert space. The unitary time evolution in the intervals between the measurements, is taken into account. The non-selective measurements destroy stroboscopically the non-diagonal elements in the density matrix. This `hermaphrodite' system is an interesting combination of a classical probabilistic system (immediately after the measurements) and a quantum system (in the intervals between the measurements). Various examples are discussed. In the ergodic example, the system follows asymptotically all discrete paths with the same probability. In the example of rapidly repeated non-selective measurements, we get the well known quantum Zeno effect with `frozen discrete paths' (presented here as a biproduct of our general methodology based on Markov chains with doubly stochastic transition matrices).
A supermassive binary black hole in the quasar 3C345

description: Radio loud active galactic nuclei present a remarkable variety of signs indicating the presence of periodical processes possibly originating in binary systems of supermassive black holes, in which orbital motion and precession are ultimately responsible for the observed broad-band emission variations, as well as for the morphological and kinematic properties of the radio emission on parsec scales. This scenario, applied to the quasar 3C345, explains the observed variations of radio and optical emission from the quasar, and reproduces the structural variations observed in the parsec-scale jet of this object. The binary system in 3C345 is described by two equal-mass black holes with masses of approximately 7*10^8 solar masses separated by ~0.33 pc and orbiting with a period of ~480 yr. The orbital motion induces a precession of the accretion disk around the primary black hole, with a period of ~2570 yr. The jet plasma is described by a magnetized, relativistic electron-positron beam propagating inside a wider and slower electron-proton jet. The combination of Alfven wave perturbations of the beam, the orbital motion of the binary system and the precession of the accretion disk reproduces the variability of the optical flux and evolution of the radio structure in 3C345. The timescale of quasi-periodic flaring activity in 3C345 is consistent with typical disk instability timescales. The present model cannot rule out a small-mass orbiter crossing the accretion disk and causing quasi-periodic flares.

description: The Australian Government's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS), March 2009, set a target of 5 to 15 per cent emission cuts during 2000 and 2020. The proposed target is weak and is likely to increase mitigation costs in Australia in the long run. This research report analyses the target’s efficiency as well as provisions for preventing carbon leakage. The research also looks at the nature of changes to the CPRS made during 2008 as well as the likely cause of these changes. The free allocation of output-linked, tradable permits to Emissions-Intensive, Trade-Exposed (EITE) sectors was much higher than previously proposed and greater than what is needed to prevent carbon leakage. This means EITE emissions could rise by 13 per cent during 2010 and 2020. To meet the proposed national targets, non-EITE sectors must also cut emissions by 34 to 51 per cent (or make equivalent permit imports). This is far from a cost-effective outcome. The weak targets and over-generous EITE assistance illustrate how collective action by the ‘carbon lobby’ can damage economic efficiency. To resist this, new national or international institutions to assess lobby claims impartially are needed. More government publicity about the true economic importance of carbon-intensive sectors is also required. Over-concern that voluntary emission cuts will be nullified by the CPRS is another, different, demonstration of lobby power.

description: Efficiency of search for randomly distributed targets is a prominent problem in many branches of the sciences. For the stochastic process of Lévy walks, a specific range of optimal efficiencies was suggested under variation of search intrinsic and extrinsic environmental parameters. In this article, we study fractional Brownian motion as a search process, which under parameter variation generates all three basic types of diffusion, from sub- to normal to superdiffusion. In contrast to Lévy walks, fractional Brownian motion defines a Gaussian stochastic process with power law memory yielding anti-persistent, respectively persistent motion. Computer simulations of search by time-discrete fractional Brownian motion in a uniformly random distribution of targets show that maximising search efficiencies sensitively depends on the definition of efficiency, the variation of both intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, the perception of targets, the type of targets, whether to detect only one or many of them, and the choice of boundary conditions. In our simulations we find that different search scenarios favour different modes of motion for optimising search success, defying a universality across all search situations. Some of our numerical results are explained by a simple analytical model. Having demonstrated that search by fractional Brownian motion is a truly complex process, we propose an over-arching conceptual framework based on classifying different search scenarios. This approach incorporates search optimisation by Lévy walks as a special case.

description: Political economic analysis of state-run rural finance programs in Asia have largely followed two schools of thought. First, rational choice economic approaches have assumed that political interests of politicians will inevitably override economic efficiency of such programs. Given the rationing of limited resources that takes place in the political arena, the more government involvement there is in credit programs, the less likely it is the poor and other vulnerable groups will access loans and development services. More recent approaches have drawn from studies of the efficacy of the many informal financial institutions (known as ROSCAs) that have existed for centuries in rural Asia. Lessons from informal practice have focused analytical attention on social capital, mutual aid and empowerment; once again diminishing the potential role of the state as a financial intermediary. Vietnam provides an interesting counterpoint to both of these schools of thought. The stunning success (as measured through outreach and market share) of government rural finance programs through state-owned development banks and mass organizations has pushed NGOs and private banks out of the rural finance picture. I argue that the critical characteristic of the Vietnamese credit model, lies in the increasing embeddedness of the Vietnamese state in rural society. Vietnamese credit programs and state banks use credit as a means both to reduce poverty by bringing the poor into the market and also to strengthen state institutions at the local level. The key logic to the expansion of the market and state is the replacing of traditional, informal credit arrangements and forms of governance with institutions of the modern market and the modern state.

The SU(2) sector in AdS/CFT

description: In the large N limit of N=4 Super Yang-Mills, the mixing under dilatations of the SU(2) sector, single trace operators composed of L complex scalar fields of two types, is closed to all orders in perturbation theory. By relying on the AdS/CFT correspondence, and by examining the currents for semiclassical strings, we present evidence which implies that there are small mixings that contradict the closure of the SU(2) sector in the strong coupling limit. These mixings first appear to second order in the λ/L^2 expansion.

description: A stochastic bio-economic model is constructed to analyse the effects of marine reserve ‘switching’ between a ‘no take’ area and a harvested area. The model accounts for both market and non-market values of the fishery. Estimated parameters from the red throat emperor fishery from the Great Barrier Reef are used. Simulations show that an optimal switching strategy is, under a range of scenarios, preferred to fixed reserve and no reserve strategies. An important outcome is that the non-market values associated with the size of the fishery substantially affect both the returns from switching and the closure time.

description: We present a simple and highly adaptable method for simulating coarse-grained lipid membranes without explicit solvent. Lipids are represented by one head-bead and two tail-beads, with the interaction between tails being of key importance in stabilizing the fluid phase. Two such tail-tail potentials were tested, with the important feature in both cases being a variable range of attraction. We examined phase diagrams of this range versus temperature for both functional forms of the tail-tail attraction and found that a certain threshold attractive width was required to stabilize the fluid phase. Within the fluid phase region we find that material properties such as area per lipid, orientational order, diffusion constant, inter-leaflet flip-flop rate and bilayer stiffness all depend strongly and monotonically on the attractive width. For three particular values of the potential width we investigate the transition between gel and fluid phases via heating or cooling and find that this transition is discontinuous with considerable hysteresis. We also investigated the stretching of a bilayer to eventually form a pore and found excellent agreement with a recently published analytic theory.

Energy lowering of current-carrying single-particle states in open-shell atoms due to an exchange-correlation vector potential

description: Current-density-functional theory is used to perturbatively calculate single-particle energies of open-shell atoms prepared in a current-carrying state. We focus on the highest occupied such energy, because its negative is, in principle, the exact ionization energy. A variety of different density functionals and calculational schemes are compared with each other and experiment. When the atom is prepared in a current-carrying state, a current-dependent exchange-correlation functional is found to slightly lower the single-particle energy of the current-carrying orbital, as compared to a calculation using standard (current independent) density functionals for the same system. The current-dependent terms in the exchange-correlation functional thus provide additional stabilization of the current-carrying state.

description: Decision tools for species conservation, such as benefit cost analysis (BCA) and project prioritization protocol (PPP) use monetary values to measure benefits or to assign priorities across species. Non-use (or passive) values are an important, yet difficult to quantify, category of benefits. When not estimated they may be assigned a zero value by decision makers. This results in the under-provision of conservation dollars to substantial non-use values generating projects and actions. To overcome the problem, we provide a guide to environmental value transfer (EVT) that allows decision makers to derive indirect estimates of non-use values. Environmental value transfer, together with consideration of estimated benefits uncertainty, promise better decision making and improved species conservation outcomes.

description: We carried out x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy and investigated cation valence states and spin and orbital magnetic moments in the inverse-spinel ferrimagnet Ni$_{1-x}$Co$_{2+y}$O$_{4-z}$ (NCO) epitaxial films with the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We show that the oxygen pressure P$_{O2}$ during the film growth by pulsed laser deposition influences not only the cation stoichiometry (site-occupation) but also the cation valence state. Our XAS results show that the Ni in the O$_{h}$-site is in the intermediate valence state between +2 and +3, Ni$^{(2+δ)+}$ (0

description: We review the previous studies of galaxies and quasar redshifts discretisation. We present also the investigations of the large scale periodicity, detected by pencil--beam observations, which revealed 128 (1/h) Mpc period, afterwards confirmed with supercluster studies. We present the theoretical possibility of obtaining such a periodicity using a toy-model. We solved the Kepler problem, i.e. the equation of motion of a particle with null energy moving in the uniform, expanding Universe, decribed by FLRW metrics. It is possible to obtain theoretically the separation between large scale structures similar to the observed one.

A new perspective on hexose transporter gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Creators: name: Greatrix, Bradley W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains a family of twenty hexose transporter (HXT) and ZiYT-related genes. Hexose transporters facilitate the uptake of six-carbon sugars across the plasma membrane. Of the seventeen identified HXTs, only nine have assigned functions - some of which are still poorly defined. Despite extensive efforts to characterize the hexose transporters, the expression of HXT6 and HXT8-17 remains an enigma. In nature, S. cerevisiae finds itself under extreme nutritional conditions including sugars (both glucose and fructose) in excess of 40 % (w/v), depletion of nutrients and extremes of both temperature and pH. These conditions may affect the transcriptional activation of HXT genes for which no function has been assigned thus far. Using 7iYTpromoter-/acZ fusions, we have identified novel conditions under which the HXT17 gene is expressed. HXT17 promoter activity is up-regulated in media containing raffinose and galactose at pH 7.7 versus pH 4.7. We demonstrated that HXT5, HXT 13 and to a lesser extent HXT 15 were all induced in the presence of non-fermentable carbon sources. HXT1 encodes a low affinity transporter, and previous work by other groups revealed that the HXT1 promoter activity peaked at 4 % sugar, and that expression o f this gene remained constant up to 8 % sugar (w/v). We have confirmed these results, but also extended the range of sugar concentrations tested up to 40 % (w/v). Initially, it appeared that HXT1 mRNA was upregulated 10-fold at 40 % vs 2 % glucose. However, in short-term osmotic shock experiments, HXT1 promoter activity was actually down-regulated by 40 % glucose. To reconcile these results we tested the half-life of HXT1 mRNA under osmotic pressure, and found the transcript to be stabilized in 40 % glucose. This stabilization is not dependent on HOG1. Furthermore, the stabilization of HXT1 mRNA does not appear to be gene specific because 30 minutes after transcriptional arrest there is five-fold more mRNA in osmotically stressed versus non-stressed yeast cells. The implication of this observation is that a large portion of S. cerevisiae mRNA molecules may have a decreased rate of turnover during exposure to osmotic stress.
