description: We investigate turbulence in dilute polymer solutions when polymers are strongly stretched by the flow. We establish power-law spectrum of velocity, which is not associated with a flux of a conserved quantity, in two cases. The first case is the elastic waves range of high Reynolds number turbulence of polymer solutions above the coil-stretch transition. The second case is the elastic turbulence, where chaotic flow is excited due to elastic instabilities at small Reynolds numbers.

description: Combining algebro-geometric methods and factorization techniques for finite difference expressions we provide a complete and self-contained treatment of all real-valued quasi-periodic finite-gap solutions of both the Toda and Kac-van Moerbeke hierarchies. In order to obtain our principal new result, the algebro-geometric finite-gap solutions of the Kac-van Moerbeke hierarchy, we employ particular commutation methods in connection with Miura-type transformations which enable us to transfer whole classes of solutions (such as finite-gap solutions) from the Toda hierarchy to its modified counterpart, the Kac-van Moerbeke hierarchy, and vice versa.

Modification of the Net Acid Production (NAP) Test
Creators: name: Lapakko, Kim

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Net Acid Production Test (NAP) was developed as a hydrogen peroxide-based static test for the prediction of acid rock drainage which could be applied in the field. Previous evaluation indicated the test underestimated the Net Acid Production Potential of mine waste samples. Recognizing that this error might have been the result of incomplete oxidation of iron sulphide minerals in the mine waste, modifications to the test were introduced, primarily to enhance the degree of oxidation. Ten mine waste samples were characterized (particle size, chemistry, mineralogy) and subjected to the modified NAP test, standard Acid Base Accounting, Modified Acid Base Accounting, and the B.C. Research Initial static tests. The results of the NAP test were quantitatively comparable to those of the; other static tests. Comparison of the sulphur content of four samples before and after the NAP Test indicated that 95 to 99 percent of the sulphur initially present was oxidized by the hydrogen peroxide digestion. It was concluded that the modification improved the extent of iron sulphide mineral oxidation and, consequently, the accuracy of the test.
Tunable Dirac points and zero-energy modes in periodic curved graphene superlattices

description: We combined periodic ripples and electrostatic potentials to form curved graphene superlattices and studied the effects of space-dependent Fermi velocity induced from curvature on their electronic properties. With equal periods and symmetric potentials, the Dirac points do not move, but their locations shift under asymmetric potentials. This shift can be tuned by curvature and potentials. Tunable extra gaps in band structures can appear with unequal periods. The existence of new Dirac points is proposed, such that these new Dirac points can appear under smaller potentials with curvature, and their locations can be changed even under a fixed potential by adjusting the curvature. Our results suggest that curvature provides a new possible dimension to tune the electronic properties in graphene superlattices and a platform to more easier study physics near new Dirac points.

description: We show that for stochastic dynamical systems out of equilibrium the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation equality is bounded by a function of the entropy production. The result applies to a much wider situation than `near equilibrium', comprising diffusion as well as glasses and other macroscopic systems far from equilibrium. For aging systems this bounds the age-frequency regimes in which the susceptibilities satisfy FDT in terms of the rate of decay of the H-function, a question intimately related to the reading of a thermometer placed in contact with the system.

Interplay among critical temperature, hole content, and pressure in the cuprate superconductors

description: Within a BCS-type mean-field approach to the extended Hubbard model, a nontrivial dependence of T_c on the hole content per unit CuO_2 is recovered, in good agreement with the celebrated non-monotonic universal behaviour at normal pressure. Evaluation of T_c at higher pressures is then made possible by the introduction of an explicit dependence of the tight-binding band and of the carrier concentration on pressure P. Comparison with the known experimental data for underdoped Bi2212 allows to single out an `intrinsic' contribution to d T_c / d P from that due to the carrier concentration, and provides a remarkable estimate of the dependence of the inter-site coupling strength on the lattice scale.

Imagining Together: Éliane Radigue's Collaborative Creative Process
Creators: Dougherty, William Francis
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2021
Subjects: Musical composition
Music
Capitalism
Nineteenth century
Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.)

description: This dissertation examines Éliane Radigue’s collaborative compositional practice as an alternative model of creation. Using normative Western classical music mythologies as a backdrop, this dissertation interrogates the ways in which Radigue’s creative practice calls into question traditional understandings of creative agency, authorship, reproduction, performance, and the work concept. Based on extensive interviews with the principal performer-collaborators of Radigue’s early instrumental works, this dissertation retraces the networks and processes of creation—from the first stages of the initiation process to the transmission of the fully formed composition to other instrumentalists. In doing so, I aim to investigate the ways in which Radigue’s unique working method resists capitalist models of commodification and reconfigures the traditional hierarchical relationship between composer, score, and performer. Chapter 1 traces Radigue’s early experiences with collaboration and collective creativity in the male-dominated early electronic music studios of France in the 1950s and 60s. Chapter 2 focuses on the initiation process behind new compositions. Divided into two parts, the first part describes the normative classical music-commissioning model (NCMCM) using contemporary guides for composers and commissioners and my own experiences as an American composer of concert music. The second part examines Radigue’s performer-based commissioning model and illuminates how this initiation process resists power structures of the NCMCM. Chapter 3, which is centered on the role of the composer, score, and performer, is divided into three parts. The first details the relationship between composer, score, and performer in the mythologies of nineteenth-century Western classical music. I again draw from both primary sources and my own personal experiences as a composer to explore these normative frameworks. The second details the procedures of Éliane Radigue’s creative process in her earliest collaborative instrumental compositions (Elemental II, Naldjorlak I, and OCCAM I for solo harp) and the Occam Ocean series as a whole. Using these as a point of departure, the third part explores the role of the composer, score, and performer in Radigue’s collaborative process, examining the ways in which these roles are reconfigured to create new, more equitable relationships between creative actors.

D5.2 Report on maintenance effects of flexibility installed in demosites

Subjects: district heating

description: The basic ideas of the Flexi-Sync project are to utilize more renewable energy and to optimize the income of sales of energy and the costs of producing and distributing the energy by means of introducing more flexibility. One of the means can be price models for utilizing a beneficial customer behaviour without an increase of the general energy price level. Furthermore, the energy companies can moderate the production of power and heat to get a favourable mix. In an optimization like this, the costs of maintenance and reduced durability are normally neglected. In this deliverable, a model is presented for taken these costs into account. The environmental impact will be reduced, when the outcome will be more durable energy systems and more renewable energy will be used. It is anticipated that the heat network will be operated differently. The new strategy of operating the heat network can lead to higher temperature peaks, more temperature cycles, and higher average temperature.
 A cost function, given from the model, for operating a district heating network at increased temperature volatility and at increased average temperature has been developed. The operating temperature peaks must be limited to certain given design values or to levels already in use for the system since several years.
 The cost function considers damages of service pipes caused of increase fatigue due to increased operating temperature volatility and degradation of polyurethane foam due to increased average operating temperatures.

description: Solidification of alloys in a thermal gradient usually involves the generation of flows by thermal or thermosolutal convection. We experimentally study their effects on the dynamics of a solidification interface by inducing a controlled sweeping flow in a directional solidification device. Flow is induced in the sample from an external thermosiphon. Downstream inclination of microstructures and downstream sidebranch development are observed. However, the major outcome is the evidence of large scale travelling waves on the solidification interface. They are induced by the coupling between solidification and flow and yield repetitive striations of the solid phase. Two waves are observed and characterized.

description: In this paper, for continuous, linearly-controllable quadratic control systems with a single input, an explicit, constructive method is proposed for studying their Brunovsky forms, initially studied in [W. Kang and A. J. Krener, Extended quadratic controller normal form and dynamic state feedback linearization of nonlinear systems, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 30:1319-1337, 1992]. In this approach, the computation of Brunovsky forms and transformation matrices and the proof of their existence and uniqueness are carried out simultaneously. In addition, it is shown that quadratic transformations in the aforementioned paper can be simplified to prevent multiplicity in Brunovsky forms. This method is extended for studying discrete quadratic systems. Finally, computation algorithms for both continuous and discrete systems are summarized, and examples demonstrated.

description: This is an analytic study of the problem of transitions between normal and superconducting phases for a sample which encloses a magnetic flux. A preliminary study of this problem, based on numerical minimization of the free energy for a particular form of the thickness of the sample, was published in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 75}, 320 (1995). For a sample of uniform thickness the order parameter is uniform, but even infinitesimal deviations from uniform thickness give rise to a singly connected state in which the order parameter vanishes at a suitable layer, so that the superconducting part does not enclose the magnetic field. The stability domain of this singly connected state is a line segment in the magnetic field-temperature plane, delimited by two critical points. The phase diagram contains several bifurcation lines, which are systematically analyzed.

description: We study Harper operators and the closely related discrete magnetic Laplacians (DML) on a graph with a free action of a discrete group, as defined by Sunada. A main result in this paper is that the spectral density function of DMLs associated to rational weight functions on graphs with a free action of an amenable discrete group, can be approximated by the average spectral density function of the DMLs on a regular exhaustion, with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. This then gives a criterion for the existence of gaps in the spectrum of the DML, as well as other interesting spectral properties of such DMLs. The technique used incorporates some results of algebraic number theory.

description: To arrest the ongoing ecological disaster in the country, the government of Zimbabwe implemented the Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE). Through the CAMPFIRE programme, each ward could benefit from two land uses – agriculture and wildlife. The ward must make a choice on land uses, in other words how much land to allocate to wildlife and how much to agriculture. When a hunting area belongs to one ward, the outcome is desirable; whereas if it belongs to two wards, it becomes complicated. We modelled the two scenarios: Scenario 1 – hunting area belonging to one ward; and Scenario 2 – hunting area shared by two wards. We used Pontryagin’s maximum principle to solve the models analytically and to carry out comparative statics. We also applied the results to the study areas using secondary data. The results from the analysis suggest that there is a need to make it mandatory for communities who bear the cost of wildlife management to share in the revenue from wildlife.

It has the consequence that the stable isomorphism classes of bundle gerbes over a manifold M are in bijective correspondence with H^3(M, Z). Stable isomorphism sheds light on the local theory of bundle gerbes and enables us to develop a classifying theory for bundle gerbes using results of Gajer on BC^x bundles.

The use of routine monitoring data for assessment and prediction of water chemistry
Creators: name: Morin, Kevin A. (Kevin Andrew), 1955-

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Mining companies collect and analyze numerous water samples every year to protect the environment and to meet permit requirements. Through the years, the collective number of analyses at any minesite can extend into the thousands. This water-quality database is periodically reported to mine administration and regulatory agencies, and then often lies dormant until the next report. A water-quality database can be used for much more than monitoring environmental conditions and meeting permit requirements. Through the years, the database becomes a valuable scientific tool for the further assessment and prediction of water chemistry. The scientific value is derived from several attributes, including (1) the abundance of data which permits valid statistical analyses and (2) the composite variability in chemistry due to natural processes such as temperature variations and artificial factors such as analytical error. This paper presents the concepts behind this approach for assessment and prediction, the limiting assumptions, and examples from an actual water-chemistry database in British Columbia. The mathematical validity of the approach is demonstrated by an accompanying paper at this symposium using an intensive database of daily and hourly sampling.

description: Results of a calculation of the c-axis infrared conductivity sigma_c for a d_{x^2-y^2}-wave superconductor which include both elastic impurity and inelastic spin-fluctuation scattering are presented and compared with the ab-plane conductivity sigma_{ab} in the same model. In this model,the interlayer c-axis coupling is taken to be weak and diffusive. While in clean systems, inelastic scattering leads to a peak at omega = 4*Delta_0 in sigma_{ab} for T < T_c, it has little effect on the corresponding sigma_c, which exhibits structure only at omega = 2*Delta_0 and is directly related to the single-particle density of states N(omega). The c-axis penetration depth lambda_c in the same model is predicted to vary as T^3 at low temperatures in clean samples. We discuss recent optical experiments on the cuprates and compare with these predictions.

description: In anisotropic turbulence the correlation functions are decomposed in the irreducible representations of the SO(3) symmetry group (with different "angular momenta" $\ell$). For different values of $\ell$ the second order correlation function is characterized by different scaling exponents $ζ_2(\ell)$. In this paper we compute these scaling exponents in a Direct Interaction Approximation (DIA). By linearizing the DIA equations in small anisotropy we set up a linear operator and find its zero-modes in the inertial interval of scales. Thus the scaling exponents in each $\ell$-sector follow from solvability condition, and are not determined by dimensional analysis. The main result of our calculation is that the scaling exponents $ζ_2(\ell)$ form a strictly increasing spectrum at least until $\ell=6$, guaranteeing that the effects of anisotropy decay as power laws when the scale of observation diminishes. The results of our calculations are compared to available experiments and simulations.

description: The most general quantum object that can be shared between two distant parties is a bipartite channel, as it is the basic element to construct all quantum circuits. In general, bipartite channels can produce entangled states, and can be used to simulate quantum operations that are not local. While much effort over the last two decades has been devoted to the study of entanglement of bipartite states, very little is known about the entanglement of bipartite channels. In this work, we rigorously study the entanglement of bipartite channels as a resource theory of quantum processes. We present an infinite and complete family of measures of dynamical entanglement, which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for convertibility under local operations and classical communication. Then we focus on the dynamical resource theory where free operations are positive partial transpose (PPT) superchannels, but we do not assume that they are realized by PPT pre- and post-processing. This leads to a greater mathematical simplicity that allows us to express all resource protocols and the relevant resource measures in terms of semi-definite programs. Along the way, we generalize the negativity from states to channels, and introduce the max-logarithmic negativity, which has an operational interpretation as the exact asymptotic entanglement cost of a bipartite channel. Finally, we use the non-positive partial transpose (NPT) resource theory to derive a no-go result: it is impossible to distill entanglement out of bipartite PPT channels under any sets of free superchannels that can be used in entanglement theory. This allows us to generalize one of the long-standing open problems in quantum information - the NPT bound entanglement problem - from bipartite states to bipartite channels. It further leads us to the discovery of bound entangled POVMs.

Reform of environmental assessment in British Columbia
Creators: name: Morgan, Bruce

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: For the past year the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks has been leading the development of environmental assessment legislation for British Columbia. The major features of the proposed legislation that support the symposium theme -- "building confidence" -- will be outlined. These include: creation of a comprehensive process that will address impacts throughout the life cycle of the project and that will use follow-up programs to verify the accuracy of the assessment and mitigation measures; the ability to set time frames for public comments and government action; formation of an Environmental Assessment Directorate to administer the process in a neutral and efficient manner; establishment of an Environmental Assessment Board to conduct public reviews of complex and contentious projects; access to information and opportunities for public involvement throughout the review process, and the ability to directly involve First Nations, the federal government and local governments in the review process.
Barriers of the McKean--Vlasov energy via a mountain pass theorem in the space of probability measures

description: We show that the empirical process associated with a system of weakly interacting diffusion processes exhibits a form of noise-induced metastability. The result is based on an analysis of the associated McKean--Vlasov free energy, which, for suitable attractive interaction potentials, has at least two distinct global minimisers at the critical parameter value $β=β_c$. On the torus, one of these states is the spatially homogeneous constant state, and the other is a clustered state. We show that a third critical point exists at this value. As a result, we obtain that the probability of transition of the empirical process from the constant state scales like $\exp(-N Δ)$, with $Δ$ the energy gap at $β=β_c$. The proof is based on a version of the mountain pass theorem for lower semicontinuous and $λ$-geodesically convex functionals on the space of probability measures $\mathcal{P}_2(M)$ equipped with the $2$-Wasserstein metric, where $M$ is a complete, connected, and smooth Riemannian manifold.

description: In this paper we extend the existing literature on xVA along three directions. First, we enhance current BSDE-based xVA frameworks to include initial margin in presence of defaults. Next, we solve the consistency problem that arises when the front-office desk of the bank uses trade-specific discount curves (CSA discounting) which differ from the discount rate adopted by the xVA desk. Finally, we clarify the impact of aggregation of several sub-portfolios of trades on the xVA-valuation of the resulting global portfolio and study related non-linearity effects.

description: Afrostylopyga gen. nov.
 TYPE SPECIES: Afrostylopyga angolensis sp. nov., designated here.
ETYMOLOGY: The name means “Stylopyga from Africa”.
 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: The new genus belongs to the functionally wingless blattids, i.e. cockroaches with tegmina and wings absent or reduced to lateral lobes. This group includes the genera Apterisca Princis, 1963, Brinckella Princis, 1963, Macrostylopyga Anisyutkin, Anichkin & Nguyen, 2013, Maoriblatta Princis, 1966, Miostylopyga Princis, 1966 and Neostylopyga Shelford, 1911. The genera Macrostylopyga, Maoriblatta and Neostylopyga can be readily differentiated from the new genus by the structure of their male genitalia (e.g. shape of sclerites L4C, R1H and R2, see Anisyutkin, 2010; Anisyutkin et al., 2013 and Figs 71-74 of this paper). From the monotypic genus Miostylopyga, described from Java (Princis, 1966), the new genus differs in larger size, presence of tegmina reduced to lateral lobes (Fig. 3), euplantulae on hind metatarsi and arolia on hind metatarsi.
 Afrostylopyga gen. nov. is probably related to the African genera Apterisca and Brinckella, but differs from these genera in the presence of tegmina (Fig. 3), an unmodified abdominal tergite VI and a clearly diminished abdominal tergite VII (Fig. 9) (in Apterisca and Brinckella these tergites are: “Tergite 6-7 eingesenkt und lateral aufwärts gebogen...” Princis, 1963: 90-91). Additionally, the new genus differs from Brinckella in the presence of an arolium on the pretarsi of all legs (Fig. 8).
INCLUDED SPECIES: The type species only.

description: Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the development and etiology of neuromuscular fatigue of the knee extensor muscles (KE) at different muscle-tendon unit (MTU) lengths during repeated maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) between boys and men.Methods Twenty-two pre-pubertal boys (9-11 years) and 22 men (18-30 years) performed three KE fatigue protocols at short (SHORT), optimal (OPT) and long (LONG) MTU lengths, consisting of repeating 5-s MVIC interspersed with 5-s passive recovery periods until torque reached 60% of the initial MVIC torque. The etiology of neuromuscular fatigue was identified using non-invasive methods such as surface electromyography, near-infrared spectroscopy, magnetic nerve stimulation and twitch interpolation technique.Results The number of repetitions was significantly lower in men at OPT (14.8$\pm$3.2) and LONG (15.8$\pm$5.8) than boys (39.7$\pm$18.4 and 29.5 $\pm$10.2, respectively; p<0.001), while no difference was found at SHORT between both age groups (boys: 33.7$\pm$15.4, men: 40.9$\pm$14.2). At OPT and LONG boys showed a lower reduction in the single potentiated twitch (Qtwpot) and a greater decrease in the voluntary activation level (VA) than men. At SHORT, both populations displayed a moderate Qtwpot decrement and a significant VA reduction (p<0.001). The differences in maximal torque between boys and men were almost twice greater at OPT (223.9 N.m) than at SHORT (123.3 N.m) and LONG (136.5 N.m).Conclusion The differences in neuromuscular fatigue between children and adults are dependent on MTU length. Differences in maximal torque could underpin differences in neuromuscular fatigue between children and adults at OPT and SHORT. However, at LONG these differences do not seem to be explained by differences in maximal torque. The origins of this specific effect of MTU length remain to be determined.

description: The concepts of scale invariance, self-similarity and scaling have been fruitfully applied to the study of price fluctuations in financial markets. After a brief review of the properties of stable Levy distributions and their applications to market data we indicate the shortcomings of such models and describe the truncated Levy flight as an alternative model for price movements. Furthermore, studying the dependence structure of the price increments shows that while their autocorrelation function decreases rapidly to zero, the correlation of their squares and absolute values shows a slow power law decay, indicating persistence in the scale of fluctuations, a property which can be related to the anomalous scaling of the kurtosis. In the last section we review, in the light of these empirical facts, recent attempts to draw analogies between scaling in financial markets and in turbulent flows.

MFI characteristics and loan preferences of farmers: Household-level evidence from rural Ethiopia

description: One of the debates around sustainability and the scaling up of micro-financial services is the commercialisation of micro-finance institutions (MFIs). This paper examines the contribution of the commercialisation of MFIs to ensuring the sustainability of MFIs and in scaling up their commitment to serve their primary target groups: poor and marginalised people. By using household-level data from rural Ethiopia and secondary data from selected MFIs, the study systematically examines the characteristic of MFIs and the factors determining the choice of farmers for MFIs vis-à-vis informal institutions. However, MFIs have achieved rapid growth in the number of beneficiaries, and have also gradually shifted away from their traditional primary targets (poor households) toward not-so-poor households and even large-scale investors: a drift in mission. The paper argues that, unless regulated, this commercialisation incentivises MFIs to transform themselves into conventional banks. The primary aim of the MFI project was to create vibrant financial institutions that are committed to serving poor and marginalised people. The research also identifies factors related to loan terms and household characteristics that strongly determine the choice of farmers for MFI loans.

description: This work highlights civic events and celebration as functional components of Belfast, Northern Ireland's ongoing post-conflict regeneration. Exploring the broad networks that fund and organize such events through a material semiotic approach, this dissertation sketches an outline of the process that produces parades, and examines the motivations and intentions behind them. It finds that parades function within a negotiated process of "place-making" to convey idealized visions of a peaceful "New Belfast". In particular the tropes of multiculturalism and European identity are repeated as aspirational ideals for Belfast's regeneration. The parades display, and in doing so reify these ideals as a temporary reality. Longer-term effects of the parades are difficult to determine, but they may potentially change public opinion regarding the social space of the city center, leading to more integrated and liberal use of the city center. In these events, issues central to Belfast's political life--from tourism, physical redevelopment, to European integration--are addressed through carnivalesque play and performance, as the events' producers and participants imagine Belfast's future urban identity.
