description: Cyclometalated Iridium(III) complexes, i. e. [Ir(C N)2(dppz)][PF6], bearing either two or four -CH2PO(OH)2 anchoring groups (IrP2dppz or IrP4dppz) are explored as photosensitizers for p-type dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The synthetic route is described and the iridium(III) complexes are characterized with respect to their electrochemical and photophysical properties. The modified anchoring ligand geometry exploited in this work not only alters the electronic nature of the complex (that is by destabilizing the LUMO energetically) but more importantly improves the grafting ability of the complex towards the NiO surface. The photoinduced long-lived charge separated state (CSS) at the NiO|IrPxdppz interface is of a different nature comparing the two complexes. For IrP2dppz and IrP4dppz the electron density of the CSS dominantly resides on the dppz and the C N ligand, respectively. The stability of the CSS can be correlated to the solar cell performance in NiO-based p-DSSCs, which yield conversion efficiencies which are among the highest in the class of iridium(III) complexes developed for p-DSSCs. © 2020 The Authors.

Study of the double-cone ring gasket
Creators: name: Lou, Cao-Lin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The double-cone ring gasket used as a static seal for high pressure operates on the principle of unsupported area by which the pressure applied to the gasket produces a large pressure at the seating surfaces thus maintaining a tight joint. An analysis based on elastic behaviour and simplifying assumptions is developed for predicting the sealing forces and the strains in the gasket. An apparatus was built for testing the effectiveness of the gasket for sealing pressures to 10,000 psi. Gaskets of several different proportions were tested and all were found to seal satisfactorily. Strain measurements made during the tests showed satisfactory agreement with predicted values for the assembly condition, but there were discrepancies between the predicted and observed values for the gaskets under pressure. These discrepancies indicate that the simple assumptions used in the analysis are not sufficiently accurate. The general conclusions are that the double-cone ring gasket is satisfactory for high pressure static seals and that the proportions of the ring cross section are not critical to the effectiveness of the seal.

description: In MRI, researchers have long endeavored to effectively visualize myelin distribution in the brain, a pursuit with significant implications for both scientific research and clinical applications. Over time, various methods such as myelin water imaging, magnetization transfer imaging, and relaxometric imaging have been developed, each carrying distinct advantages and limitations. Recently, an innovative technique named as magnetic susceptibility source separation has emerged, introducing a novel surrogate biomarker for myelin in the form of a diamagnetic susceptibility map. This paper comprehensively reviews this cutting-edge method, providing the fundamental concepts of magnetic susceptibility, susceptibility imaging, and the validation of the diamagnetic susceptibility map as a myelin biomarker that indirectly measure myelin content. Additionally, the paper explores essential aspects of data acquisition and processing, offering practical insights for readers. A comparison with established myelin imaging methods is also presented, and both current and prospective clinical and scientific applications are discussed to provide a holistic understanding of the technique. This work aims to serve as a foundational resource for newcomers entering this dynamic and rapidly expanding field.

description: A discussion of the subject of coal mine taxation seems timely and should be of much practical interest in view of the present depressed condition in which the coal industry finds itself. Coal production has developed into one of Utah's most important industries from the standpoint of quantity, value, and associated employment. It has become vital to the economic stability and security of the state. Coal producers, however, have encountered serious economic difficulties during the past two decades. The task of building up profitable industrial activities is one thing, the job of protecting and maintaining them is another matter.

description: During the early evolution of an AM CVn system, helium is accreted onto the surface of a white dwarf under conditions suitable for unstable thermonuclear ignition. The turbulent motions induced by the convective burning phase in the He envelope become strong enough to influence the propagation of burning fronts and may result in the onset of a detonation. Such an outcome would yield radioactive isotopes and a faint rapidly rising thermonuclear ".Ia" supernova. In this paper, we present hydrodynamic explosion models and observable outcomes of these He shell detonations for a range of initial core and envelope masses. The peak UVOIR bolometric luminosities range by a factor of 10 (from 5e41 - 5e42 erg/s), and the R-band peak varies from M_R,peak = -15 to -18. The rise times in all bands are very rapid (<10 d), but the decline rate is slower in the red than the blue due to a secondary near-IR brightening. The nucleosynthesis primarily yields heavy alpha-chain elements (40Ca through 56Ni) and unburnt He. Thus, the spectra around peak light lack signs of intermediate mass elements and are dominated by CaII and TiII features, with the caveat that our radiative transfer code does not include the non-thermal effects necessary to produce He features.

description: Although many fungi are known to be able to perform bioweathering of rocks and minerals, little information is available concerning the role of basidiomycetes in this process. The wood-rotting basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune was investigated for its ability to degrade black slate, a rock rich in organic carbon. Mechanical pressure of hyphae and extracellular polymeric substances was investigated for biophysical weathering. A mixed ß1-3/ß1-6 glucan, likely schizophyllan that is well known from S. commune, could be identified on black slate surfaces. Secretion of siderophores and organic acids as biochemical weathering agents was shown. Both may contribute to biochemical weathering in addition to enzymatic functions. Previously, the exoenzyme laccase was believed to attack organic the matter within the black slate, thereby releasing metals from the rock. Here, overexpression of laccase showed enhanced dissolution of quartz phases by etching and pitting. At the same time, the formation of a new secondary mineral phase, whewellite, could be demonstrated. Hence, a more comprehensive understanding of biophysical as well as biochemical weathering by S. commune could be reached and unexpected mechanisms like quartz dissolution linked to shale degradation. © 2019 The Authors.

title: Root Yields, Sucrose, and Glutamic Acid Content of Sugar Beets as Influenced by Soil Moisture, Nitrogen Fertilization, Variety, and Harvest Date
Creators: name: Woolley, Donald G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1956

description: The United States produces about 1.8 million tons of sugar annually. Approximately 75 per cent of this production is derived from sugar beets. The importance of the sugar beet crop in national and world economy is justification for research effort as a means to more economical production.
It is desirable that sugar beet processing be carried out in the most efficient manner. More effective utilization of the sugar beet and its by-products will add stability to the sugar beet industry.
For the past 170 years, since Achard found that sugar could be used for human consumption and that pulp might be fed to cattle, sugar processors have made limited use of the non-sugar constituents of the sugar beet. These materials have been disposed of almost exclusively as livestock ration supplements.
The non-sugar constituents have been largely responsible for failure to extract all of the sugar from the beet (13). As a result they have been viewed with suspicion by most sugar beet processors. However, recent development suggest that the utilization of sugar beet by-products will constitute a more important phase of the sugar beet industry in the future.
At this critical period in the sugar beet industry, it is difficult to overemphasize the need for a better understanding of the chemical constituents of the sugar beet and the effects of various physiological factors upon them. One of the non-sugar constituents of the sugar beet which has recently received attention is glutamic acid. This has been brought about primarily by the discovery that the salt, monosodium glutamate, has an enhancing effect upon the flavor and palatability of many foods. Using the sugar beet as almost the exclusive source of glutamic acid, a new industry (utilizing over 100 tons of beet molasses daily) has developed to manufacture and market this food seasoner (28).
Preliminary investigations at the Utah Experiment Station (14) showed that of all the chemical constituents determined, glutamic acid was the most variable. This agreed with earlier work in this field (16, 42). Being highly variable this constituent is a chief contributor to difficulties in sugar processing.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of some of the major agronomic factors, such as moisture, fertility, variety, and sampling date, upon the glutamic acid content of the sugar beet.

description: The movement of water in soils is of great importance to all of us but especially to agriculturalists. If it were not for this movement plants would not be able to survive in soil. If the moisture moves too freely in the soil insufficient water can be stored to supply plants during dry periods. The movement of water through soil may remove plant nutrients or accumulate salts in soil horizons.

Display system for a digital statistical analyser
Creators: name: Venditti, Comenico Antonio
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A display system for a polarity-coincidence digital correlator is described in this thesis. The display of normalized statistical estimates of the computer occurs whenever the sample size equals 2ⁿ ( n = 1, 2, …, 18). This allows one to visually determine convergence of the estimates as they are being computed. A brief description of the correlator is included, permitting the reader to relate more easily its output information and control functions with the display system. The order of magnitude of errors introduced by sampling fluctuations and by the digital-to-analogue conversion is shown to be less than 2% of full scale at the output of the monitoring system (sample size =2¹⁸ ), with about 95% confidence limits assigned to the standard deviation of the correlogram. Displays of the estimates stored in the memory of the computer are illustrated for various modes of operation of the correlator. In particular, it is shown how the display system facilitates observation of the rate of convergence of correlation estimates towards their final values.

description: This work aims to investigate the well-posedness and the existence of ergodic invariant measures for a class of third grade fluid equations in bounded domain $D\subset\mathbb{R}^d,d=2,3,$ in the presence of a multiplicative noise. First, we show the existence of a martingale solution by coupling a stochastic compactness and monotonicity arguments. Then, we prove a stabilty result, which gives the pathwise uniqueness of the solution and therefore the existence of strong probabilistic solution. Secondly, we use the stability result to show that the associated semigroup is Feller and by using "Krylov-Bogoliubov Theorem" we get the existence of an invariant probability measure. Finally, we show that all the invariant measures are concentrated on a compact subset of $L^2$, which leads to the existence of an ergodic invariant measure.

description: The precariousness of the rural population in Africa is often symbolized by the lack of potable and safe drinking water. This study investigates the physico-chemical and bacteriological characteristics of 32 water samples with respect to WHO standards. The water samples were collected from wells, boreholes and small drinking water supply systems (DWS) in and around the township of Bonkoukou (Niger). The Water Quality Index (WQI) tool was used to assess the overall water quality with different physico-chemical parameters. Where the pH of the samples was acceptable, the samples showed higher levels of mineralization and deoxygenation. Overall, the samples were slightly hard, chlorinated and sulfated but much alkaline and contained nitrate and nitrite ions 2-16 times higher than the WHO standards. The use of WQI shows that samples in the DWS are safe for drinking. Samples coming from wells are the most polluted (58.50%) compared to those taken from boreholes (53.00%), while the percentage of samples from boreholes, unfit for drinking, is higher (41.00%) than that of the samples taken from wells (25.00%). Moreover, water in this area was characterized by the presence of total germs indicating bacteriological pollution. Hence, for the supply of safe drinking water to the larger number of people in such a rural area, the capacity of actual DWS must be improved and widespread. © 2020 The Authors.

description: Two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (2DTS), a terahertz analogue of nuclear magnetic resonance, is a new technique poised to address many open questions in complex condensed matter systems. The conventional theoretical framework used ubiquitously for interpreting multidimensional spectra of discrete quantum level systems is, however, insufficient for the continua of collective excitations in strongly correlated materials. Here, we develop a theory for 2DTS of a model collective excitation, the Josephson plasma resonance in layered superconductors. Starting from a mean-field approach at temperatures well below the superconducting phase transition, we obtain expressions for the multidimensional nonlinear responses that are amenable to intuition derived from the conventional single-mode scenario. We then consider temperatures near the superconducting critical temperature $T_c$, where dynamics beyond mean-field become important and conventional intuition fails. As fluctuations proliferate near $T_c$, the dominant contribution to nonlinear response comes from an optical parametric drive of counter-propagating Josephson plasmons, which gives rise to 2D spectra that are qualitatively different from the mean-field predictions. As such, and in contrast to one-dimensional spectroscopy techniques, such as third harmonic generation, 2DTS can be used to directly probe thermally excited finite-momentum plasmons and their interactions. Our theory provides a clear interpretation of recent 2DTS measurements on cuprates, and we discuss implications beyond the present context of Josephson plasmons.

Kenosis Creativity Architecture
Creators: name: Lindstrom, RS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Theology and philosophy establish that kenosis, or self-emptying, reveals the ontology of creativity. But, until now, architecture ‚Äö- a primal expression of human creativity ‚Äö- has not been correlated with kenosis, nor has either been thought of as informing or taking the measure of the other. This dissertation moves toward rectifying that lack. It opens-up interdisciplinary thinking about kenosis to reveal the subject's manifold foundations: its locus classicus in Christian scriptures, its antecedents in antiquity, its medieval and modern development, and its emergence in most major faith traditions. Such foundations enable a further opening-up of kenotic thought ‚Äö- for the first time, through architecture. Accordingly, the situations of eight, widely recognised architectural projects are re-examined, this time focusing on their kenotic claims and the kenosis they manifest. Located in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia ‚Äö- where several are affected by the kenotic dimensions of various world religions ‚Äö- these projects include works by Louis Kahn, I.M. Pei, Tadao Ando, Daniel Libeskind, and Peter Eisenman. Though newly revealing, this examination often mirrors the kenosis it seeks ‚Äö- holding the originating questions open, and opening-up still others. In fact, this thinking about kenosis through architecture ultimately turns, and opens-up a unique thinking about architecture through kenosis ‚Äö- extending to architecture's very being. Kenotic emptiness asks of architecture's fullness, of the barriers to architecture's own kenosis. And it asks how such a kenosis might influence an increasingly secularised, globalised, and environmentalised ‚Äö- indeed, aestheticised ‚Äö- world. Questions of kenosis, creativity, and architecture are explored in the interest of elevating humanity's thinking about the aesthetisation of culture; a critical pursuit, worthy to be critically considered, since such thinking affects virtually everyone and everything.
Compacting frequent star patterns in RDF graphs

description: Knowledge graphs have become a popular formalism for representing entities and their properties using a graph data model, e.g., the Resource Description Framework (RDF). An RDF graph comprises entities of the same type connected to objects or other entities using labeled edges annotated with properties. RDF graphs usually contain entities that share the same objects in a certain group of properties, i.e., they match star patterns composed of these properties and objects. In case the number of these entities or properties in these star patterns is large, the size of the RDF graph and query processing are negatively impacted; we refer these star patterns as frequent star patterns. We address the problem of identifying frequent star patterns in RDF graphs and devise the concept of factorized RDF graphs, which denote compact representations of RDF graphs where the number of frequent star patterns is minimized. We also develop computational methods to identify frequent star patterns and generate a factorized RDF graph, where compact RDF molecules replace frequent star patterns. A compact RDF molecule of a frequent star pattern denotes an RDF subgraph that instantiates the corresponding star pattern. Instead of having all the entities matching the original frequent star pattern, a surrogate entity is added and related to the properties of the frequent star pattern; it is linked to the entities that originally match the frequent star pattern. Since the edges between the entities and the objects in the frequent star pattern are replaced by edges between these entities and the surrogate entity of the compact RDF molecule, the size of the RDF graph is reduced. We evaluate the performance of our factorization techniques on several RDF graph benchmarks and compare with a baseline built on top gSpan, a state-of-the-art algorithm to detect frequent patterns. The outcomes evidence the efficiency of proposed approach and show that our techniques are able to reduce execution time of the baseline approach in at least three orders of magnitude. Additionally, RDF graph size can be reduced by up to 66.56% while data represented in the original RDF graph is preserved.

description: Metastasis, the process by which cancers progress to spread to surrounding tissues and distant organs, is the primary cause of death in most cancers. Characterizing the regulatory mechanisms underlying metastasis is of great importance for identifying novel therapeutic targets. Reconstructing gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from high throughput multi-omics data obtained from various stages of cancer progression has great potential for aiding this challenging undertaking. In this study, we developed a computational framework to characterize the major regulatory mechanisms underlying colorectal cancer (CRC) progression by simultaneous analysis of dynamic gene expression and histone modification profiles that have been collected from SW480 cell lines selected for various levels of invasiveness, along with transcription factor (TF) binding (ChIP-seq) data from the HCT116 CRC cell line available from the ENCODE project. We built upon our previously developed probabilistic graphical model for integration of multi-omic data, called pGENMi, to identify TFs involved in CRC metastasis. Our framework considers differential expression of each gene along with evidence of that gene being under the regulatory influence of a specific TF. Data are aggregated across all genes to assign a probabilistic significance to each TF. Importantly, the cis-regulatory evidence is based on progression-associated changes in histone marks within a TF’s ChIP peak. The model simultaneously includes all TFs for which binding data are available, permitting the assessment of significance while accounting for the influence of other TFs. Disruption of JUND, one of the highest ranked TFs in our analyses, confirmed involvement in the CRC invasive phenotype. The importance of considering histone modification status for these analyses is underscored by the inability to identify JUND as a significant TF when dynamic epigenomic data were ignored. In addition to finding the TFs associated with cancer progression, our framework identified candidate genes predicted to mediate the effects of TFs on cancer progression, thus enabling the reconstruction of the underlying GRN. We used a gene set derived from this predicted GRN as a signature to subtype CRC patient profiles from TCGA and found the subtypes to have significantly different survival outcomes.

description: Nowadays, there is a rapid increase in the number of sensor data generated by a wide variety of sensors and devices. Data semantics facilitate information exchange, adaptability, and interoperability among several sensors and devices. Sensor data and their meaning can be described using ontologies, e.g., the Semantic Sensor Network (SSN) Ontology. Notwithstanding, semantically enriched, the size of semantic sensor data is substantially larger than raw sensor data. Moreover, some measurement values can be observed by sensors several times, and a huge number of repeated facts about sensor data can be produced. We propose a compact or factorized representation of semantic sensor data, where repeated measurement values are described only once. Furthermore, these compact representations are able to enhance the storage and processing of semantic sensor data. To scale up to large datasets, factorization based, tabular representations are exploited to store and manage factorized semantic sensor data using Big Data technologies. We empirically study the effectiveness of a semantic sensor’s proposed compact representations and their impact on query processing. Additionally, we evaluate the effects of storing the proposed representations on diverse RDF implementations. Results suggest that the proposed compact representations empower the storage and query processing of sensor data over diverse RDF implementations, and up to two orders of magnitude can reduce query execution time.

A solid state voltage regulator and exciter for a large power system test model
Creators: name: Bond, John Anthony
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is concerned with the design, construction, and testing of a solid state voltage regulator-exciter-for a new power system test model. The basic elements of a power system, the prime mover and the synchronous generator, are simulated by small laboratory sized machines whose characteristics have been altered by electronic devices. The voltage regulator-exciter consists of a transfer function simulator, a selector-switch for forced or linear-excitation, a field amplifier, a negative resistor for the field circuit and a voltage transducer for closed loop control. Also included are a braking resistor with solid state switching and power and-speed transducers. Transient power system studies have been largely theoretical in nature because of the difficulty and danger in carrying out experimental work on actual power systems. With this model, many important and interesting tests can be easily carried out. Chapter 2 outlines the proposed system while Chapter 3 details the realization and circuitry of the subsystems. The results of the tests described in Chapter 4 are divided into two parts. The first section deals with the testing of each subsystem while the last section, the system as a whole.

description: One of the limiting factors associated with seed production of alfalfa and certain clovers is a small jet-black wasp commonly known as the clover seed chalcid, Bruchophagus gibbus (Boheman). In alfalfa seed producing areas this insect is often referred to as the alfalfa seed chalcid or the alfalfa seed chalcis-fly. In local areas of Utah, farmers often refer to this insect as simply "the fly."

description: Wavelength-to-time mapping (WTM)—stretching ultrashort optical pulses in a dispersive medium such that the instantaneous frequency becomes time-dependent—is usually performed using a single-mode fiber. In a number of applications, such as time-stretch imaging (TSI), the use of this single-mode fiber during WTM limits the achievable sampling rate and the imaging quality. Multimode fiber based WTM is a potential route to overcome this challenge and project a more diverse range of light patterns. Here, we demonstrate the use of a twodimensional single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array to image, in a time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) manner, the time- and wavelength-dependent arrival of different spatial modes in a few-mode fiber. We then use a TCSPC spectrometer with a onedimensional SPAD array to record and calibrate the wavelength-dependent and mode-dependent WTM processes. The direct measurement of the WTM of the spatial modes opens a convenient route to estimate group velocity dispersion, differential mode delay, and the effective refractive index of different spatial modes. This is applicable to TSI and ultrafast optical imaging, as well as broader areas such as telecommunications.
On the choice of coupling procedure for the Poincaré gauge theory of gravity
Creators: name: Kaźmierczak, Marcin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The gauge approach to the theory of gravity has been widely discussed as an alternative to standard general relativity. The Poincar{é} group, as a symmetry group of all relativistic theories in the absence of gravitation, constitutes the most natural candidate for a gauge group. Although the Poincar{é} gauge theory of gravity has been elaborated over the years and cast into a beautiful formal framework, some fundamental problems have remained unsolved. One of them concerns the inclusion of matter. The minimal coupling procedure, which is employed in standard Yang--Mills theories, appears to be ambiguous in the case of gravity. We propose a slight modification of this procedure, which removes the ambiguity. Our modification justifies some earlier results concerning the consequences of the Poincar{é} gauge theory of gravity. In particular, the predictions of Einstein--Cartan theory with fermionic matter are rendered unique. We recall the earlier proposed solution based on modified volume--forms. The advantage of our modification is that the predictions of the theory are not radically changed. Basically, this modification simply justifies the results that were obtained partly `by chance' in the hitherto prevailing accounts on the Einstein--Cartan theory. The only difference in the predictions, when compared to the standard treatment, concerns the Proca field in the presence of gravity. The `torsion singularities' which occur there are shifted towards other values of the field.

description: This study is devoted to the inference problem of extracting the nuclear matter properties directly from a set of mass-radius observations. We employ Bayesian neural networks (BNNs), which is a probabilistic model capable of estimating the uncertainties associated with its predictions. To simulate different noise levels on the $M(R)$ observations, we create three different sets of mock data. Our results show BNNs as an accurate and reliable tool for predicting the nuclear matter properties whenever the true values are not completely outside the training dataset statistics, i.e., if the model is not heavily dependent on its extrapolating capacities. Using real mass-radius pulsar data, the model predicted, for instance, $L_{\text{sym}}=39.80\pm17.52 $ MeV and $K_{\text{sym}}=-101.67\pm62.86 $ MeV ($2σ$ interval). Our study provides a valuable inference framework when new NS data becomes available.

description: We propose an entanglement criterion based on local uncertainty relations (LURs) in a stronger form than the original LUR criterion introduced in [H. F. Hofmann and S. Takeuchi, Phys. Rev. A \textbf{68}, 032103 (2003)]. Using arbitrarily chosen operators $\{\hat{A}_{k}\}$ and $\{\hat{B}_{k}\}$ of subsystems A and B, the tighter LUR criterion, which may be used not only for discrete variables but also for continuous variables, can detect more entangled states than the original criterion.
