Co-gasification of biosolids with biomass in a bubbling fluidized bed
Creators: name: Yu, Ming Ming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis project studied the feasibility of co-gasification of biosolids with biomass as a means of disposal with energy recovery. The kinetics and gasification performance of biosolids and biomass mixtures were studied with a thermogravimetric analyzer and a pilot scale bubbling fluidized bed, respectively. From the kinetics study, it was found that biomass, such as switchgrass, could catalyze the gasification reactions because the ash of switchgrass contained a high proportion of potassium, which is considered as an excellent catalyst for gasification processes. However, it was found that biosolids could also inhibit gasification. When biosolids were mixed with biomass, the inhibition effect overwhelmed the catalytic effect. For the study of gasification performance, the impacts of biosolids proportion in the fuel, bed temperature, and steam/fuel ratio on gasification performance were investigated. As the biosolids proportion increased from 0 to 100%, syngas yield decreased from 1.38 to 0.47 m³/kg, char conversion decreased from 81.7% to 35.5%, tar content increased from 10.3 to 200 g/m³, and ammonia concentration increased from 1660 to 19200 ppmv. A synergistic effect occurred at 25% biosolids. With increasing biosolids proportion in the fuel, H₂ and CH₄ increased, CO decreased, and CO₂ remained nearly constant in the syngas. As the steam/fuel ratio increased, the concentrations of H₂ and CO₂ increased, while that of CO decreased in the syngas. Decreasing the bed temperature from 825 to 728℃ did not affect syngas composition, but decreased the syngas yield from 0.99 to 0.29 m³/kg

description: We study the QCD corrections at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) to the cross section for the hadronic pair-production of top quarks. We present new results in the high-energy limit using the well-known framework of k_t-factorization. We combine these findings with the known threshold corrections and present improved approximate NNLO results over the full kinematic range. This approach is employed to quantify the residual theoretical uncertainty of the approximate NNLO results which amounts to about 4% for the Tevatron and 5% for the LHC cross-section predictions. Our analytic results in the high-energy limit will provide an important check on future computations of the complete NNLO cross sections.

description: The measurement of the low transverse momentum region of vector boson production in Drell-Yan processes has long been invaluable to testing our knowledge of QCD dynamics both beyond fixed-order in perturbation theory as well as in the non-perturbative region. Recently the DØ collaboration have introduced novel variables which lead to improved measurements compared to the case of the standard QT variable. To complement this improvement on the experimental side, we develop here a complete phenomenological study dedicated in particular to the new ϕ* variable. We compare our study, which contains the state-of-the-art next-to-next-to-leading resummation of large logarithms and a smooth matching to the full next-to-leading order result, to the experimental data and find excellent agreement over essentially the entire range of ϕ*, even without direct inclusion of non-perturbative effects. We comment on our findings and on the potential for future studies to constrain non-perturbative behaviour.

description: Photosynthesis is susceptible in response to nitrogen (N) deficiency. However, the acclimation of shade-tolerant and high-N sensitive species to N deficiency is unclear. Leaf morpho-physiological traits, photosynthetic performance related parameters were examined in a shade-tolerant and high-N sensitive species P. notoginseng grown under different N levels. Lower N content and Chl content were recorded in the N0-grown P. notoginseng. The maximum values of leaf morpho-physiological traits, photosynthetic rate, and photosynthetic N use efficiency (PNUE) were obtained in the N15-grown P. notoginseng. Coefficients for leaf N allocation into the carboxylation and light-harvesting system components in the N0-grown plants were significantly higher than others. N0 and N7.5 plants showed higher K phase. N addition decreased the absorption and capture of the light energy per unit area (ABS/RC and TRO/RC) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). Photochemical quenching (qP), electron transport rate (ETR), and effective quantum yield of photosystem II (ϕPSII) were reduced in the N0-grown plants. The reduction of light-harvesting and utilization capacity not only leads to a decrease in PNUE, but also induces the damage of PSII reaction center. Overall, the inhibition of leaf growth and photosynthetic capacity is an essential strategy for high-N sensitive and shade-tolerant plants in response to N deficiency.

description: We compute the black hole radiation spectrum in the presence of high-frequency dispersion in a large set of situations. In all cases, the spectrum diverges like the inverse of the Killing frequency. When studying the low-frequency spectrum, we find only two regimes: an adiabatic one where the corrections with respect to the standard temperature are small, and an abrupt one regulated by dispersion, in which the near-horizon metric can be replaced by step functions. The transition from one regime to the other is governed by a single parameter which also governs the net redshift undergone by dispersive modes. These results can be used to characterize the quasiparticles spectrum of recent and future experiments aiming to detect the analogue Hawking radiation. They also apply to theories of quantum gravity which violate Lorentz invariance.

description: We propose a multi-factor model and an estimation method based on particle MCMC to identify risk factors in electricity prices. Our model identifies long-run prices, shortrun deviations, and spikes as three main risk factors in electricity spot prices. Under our model, different risk factors have distinct impacts on futures prices and can carry different risk premia. We generalize the Fama-French regressions to analyze properties of true risk premia. We show that model specification plays an important role in detecting time varying risk premia. Using spot and futures prices in the Germany/Austria market, we demonstrate that our proposed model surpasses alternative models that have less risk factors in forecasting spot prices and in detecting time varying risk premia.
Contribution of vector resonances to the {\bar B}_d^0 -> {\bar K}^{*0} mu^+ mu^- decay

description: The fully differential angular distribution for the rare flavor-changing neutral current decay \bar{B}_d^0 -> \bar{K}^{*0} (-> K- pi+) mu+ mu- is studied. The emphasis is placed on accurate treatment of the contribution from the processes \bar{B}_d^0 -> \bar{K}^{*0} (-> K- pi+) V with intermediate vector resonances V = rho(770), omega(782), phi(1020), J/psi, psi(2S), ... decaying into the mu+ mu- pair. The dilepton invariant-mass dependence of the branching ratio, longitudinal polarization fraction f_L of the \bar{K}^{*0} meson, and forward-backward asymmetry A_{FB} is calculated and compared with data from Belle, CDF and LHCb. It is shown that inclusion of the resonance contribution may considerably modify the branching ratio, calculated in the SM without resonances, even in the invariant-mass region far from the so-called charmonia cuts applied in the experimental analyses. This conclusion crucially depends on values of the unknown phases of the B^0 -> K^{*0} J/psi and B^0 -> K^{*0} psi(2S) decay amplitudes with zero helicity.

description: Relations between economic variables are often not exploited for forecasting, suggesting that predictors are weak in the sense that the estimation uncertainty is larger than the bias from ignoring the relation. In this paper, we propose a novel bagging estimator designed for such predictors. Based on a test for finite-sample predictive ability, our estimator shrinks the OLS estimate not to zero, but towards the null of the test which equates squared bias with estimation variance, and we apply bagging to further reduce the estimation variance. We derive the asymptotic distribution and show that our estimator can substantially lower the MSE compared to the standard ,t-test bagging. An asymptotic shrinkage representation for the estimator that simplifies computation is provided. Monte Carlo simulations show that the predictor works well in small samples. In an empirical application, we find that our proposed estimators works well for inflation forecasting using unemployment or industrial production as predictors.

description: The peculiar velocities of galaxies are an inherently valuable cosmological probe, providing an unbiased estimate of the distribution of matter on scales much larger than the depth of the survey. Much research interest has been motivated by the high dipole moment of our local peculiar velocity field, which suggests a large scale excess in the matter power spectrum, and can appear to be in some tension with the LCDM model. We use a composite catalogue of 4,537 peculiar velocity measurements with a characteristic depth of 33 h-1 Mpc to estimate the matter power spectrum. We compare the constraints with this method, directly studying the full peculiar velocity catalogue, to results from Macaulay et al. (2011), studying minimum variance moments of the velocity field, as calculated by Watkins, Feldman & Hudson (2009) and Feldman, Watkins & Hudson (2010). We find good agreement with the LCDM model on scales of k > 0.01 h Mpc-1. We find an excess of power on scales of k < 0.01 h Mpc-1, although with a 1 sigma uncertainty which includes the LCDM model. We find that the uncertainty in the excess at these scales is larger than an alternative result studying only moments of the velocity field, which is due to the minimum variance weights used to calculate the moments. At small scales, we are able to clearly discriminate between linear and nonlinear clustering in simulated peculiar velocity catalogues, and find some evidence (although less clear) for linear clustering in the real peculiar velocity data.

description: BaPb$_{1-x}$Bi$_x$O$_3$ is found to exhibit a field-tuned superconductor to insulator transition for Bi compositions 0.24 $\leq x \leq$ 0.29. The magnetoresistance of optimally doped samples manifests a temperature-independent crossing point and scaling of the form $ρ(T,H)=ρ_c F(|H-H_{c}|T^{-1/zν})$, where $H_c$ is the field determined by the temperature-independent crossing point, and $zν$ = 0.69 $\pm$ 0.03. High resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements reveal a complex intergrown nanostructure comprising tetragonal and orthorhombic polymorphs. Data are analyzed in terms of both a classical effective medium theory and a field-tuned quantum phase transition, neither of which provides a completely satisfactory explanation for this remarkable phenomenology.

description: We study the cumulants and their generating functions of the probability distributions of the conductance, shot noise and Wigner delay time in ballistic quantum dots. Our approach is based on the integrable theory of certain matrix integrals and applies to all the symmetry classes beta=1,2,4 of Random Matrix Theory. We compute the weak localization corrections to the mixed cumulants of the conductance and shot noise for beta=1,4, thus proving a number of conjectures of Khoruzhenko et al. (Phys. Rev. B, Vol. 80 (2009), 125301). We derive differential equations that characterize the cumulant generating functions for all beta=1,2,4. Furthermore, we show that the cumulant generating function of the Wigner delay time can be expressed in terms of the Painleve' III' transcendant. This allows us to study properties of the cumulants of the Wigner delay time in the asymptotic limit n -> infinity. Finally, for all the symmetry classes and for any number of open channels, we derive a set of recurrence relations that are very efficient for computing cumulants at all orders.

description: The ground state entanglement of the two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate is investigated through a quantum phase transition approach. The entanglement measure is taken as the order parameter and this is a non-local order parameter, which is different from the conventional order parameter of the Mott insulator-superfluid phase transitions. For this non-local order parameter, scaling behavior corresponding to a continuous phase transition is obtained and a power-law divergence near the critical region follows it. This scaling behavior of quantum entanglement is analyzed by the finite-size scaling and the critical exponents are obtained as $ν= 1.01$ and $γ= 0.86$. A close connection between quantum fluctuations and the phase transition of entanglement is also obtained.

description: One of the major goals in HIV-1 vaccine development is to achieve properly folded and stabilized envelope glycoprotein (Env) trimers that mimic the native Env on the mature virion. Here, we design and characterize uncleaved prefusion-optimized (UFO) trimers for 12 Envs currently circulating in China. Biochemical and biophysical characterization of these UFO trimers identified two subtype B/Bʹ Envs, CNE6 and MG13, which exhibited the highest trimer content and stability at a level comparable to the subtype A reference, BG505. Replacing the gp41 ectodomain (gp41ECTO) of CRF01_AE trimers with that of CNE6, MG13, and BG505 resulted in chimeric constructs with significantly improved trimer content and stability. Negative-stain electron microscopy (EM) confirmed the structural integrity of these chimeric UFO trimers with CNE6 gp41ECTO. Antibody binding assays showed that the chimeric trimers shared similar antigenic profiles to those with their original gp41ECTO domains. Our results thus revealed the intrinsic differences among HIV-1 Envs of diverse origins and the critical role of gp41ECTO in stabilizing the trimeric spike. By taking advantage of naturally stable Envs, gp41ECTO swapping may represent a universal approach for the generation of stable trimers with the desired structural and antigenic properties for downstream in vivo evaluation and vaccine development.

description: In the framework of the little higgs scenario, coupling constants of several interactions are related to each other to guarantee the stability of the higgs boson mass at one-loop level. This relation is called the little higgs mechanism. We discuss how accurately the relation can be tested at future e+e- colliders, with especially focusing on the top sector of the scenario using a method of effective lagrangian. In order to test the mechanism at the top sector, it is important to measure the Yukawa coupling of the top partner. We consider higgs associated production and threshold production of the top partner, and find that the mechanism can be tested precisely using the associate production when the center of mass energy is large enough. The threshold production also allows us to test it even if the center mass energy is not so large.

description: I argue that the many worlds explanation of quantum computation is not licensed by, and in fact is conceptually inferior to, the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics from which it is derived. I argue that the many worlds explanation of quantum computation is incompatible with the recently developed cluster state model of quantum computation. Based on these considerations I conclude that we should reject the many worlds explanation of quantum computation.

description: We establish general theorems quantifying the notion of recurrence --- through an estimation of the moments of passage times --- for irreducible continuous-time Markov chains on countably infinite state spaces. Sharp conditions of occurrence of the phenomenon of explosion are also obtained. A new phenomenon of implosion is introduced and sharp conditions for its occurrence are proven. The general results are illustrated by treating models having a difficult behaviour even in discrete time.

Minimax fast rates for discriminant analysis with errors in variables

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The effect of measurement errors in discriminant analysis is investigated. Given observations $Z=X+ε$, where $ε$ denotes a random noise, the goal is to predict the density of $X$ among two possible candidates $f$ and $g$. We suppose that we have at our disposal two learning samples. The aim is to approach the best possible decision rule $G^\star$ defined as a minimizer of the Bayes risk. In the free-noise case $(ε=0)$, minimax fast rates of convergence are well-known under the margin assumption in discriminant analysis (see \cite{mammen}) or in the more general classification framework (see \cite{tsybakov2004,AT}). In this paper we intend to establish similar results in the noisy case, i.e. when dealing with errors in variables. We prove minimax lower bounds for this problem and explain how can these rates be attained, using in particular an Empirical Risk Minimizer (ERM) method based on deconvolution kernel estimators.

Studies into the mechanistic basis for local anesthetic action on transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 in vitro
Creators: name: Rivera, Ricardo Enrique
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Transient receptor potential subfamily V, member 1 (TRPV1) channels are important integrators of noxious stimuli with pronounced expression in nociceptive neurons. Local anesthetics have been shown to modulate these nonselective cation channels in vivo and in vitro. However, little is known about the specific interactions between local anesthetic molecules and TRPV1 channels. This thesis therefore was dedicated to examining the mechanistic basis by which local anesthetic compounds act on TRPV1 channels from a perspective of neuronal manipulation for nociceptive blockade. The experimental approach involved a series of in vitro laboratory studies where wild-type TRPV1, TRPV4, and mutant TRPV1 channels were expressed in Xenopus leavis oocytes and cation currents recorded using the two-electrode voltage clamp technique. QX-314 and lidocaine activated TRPV1 channels at millimolar concentrations, but not TRPV4 channels. The TRPV1 antagonist, capsazepine, blocked QX-314- and lidocaine-evoked inward currents through a vanilloid-dependent pathway. At sub-activating concentrations (< 1 mM), QX-314 potently inhibited capsaicin-evoked TRPV1 currents. This thesis’ main results establish that the quaternary lidocaine derivative, QX-314, exerts biphasic effects on TRPV1 channels, inhibiting capsaicin-evoked TRPV1 currents at lower (micromolar) concentrations and activating TRPV1 channels at higher (millimolar) concentrations. Further pharmacological characterization of amino-amide inhibition showed that QX-314 and lidocaine inhibit vanilloid- and proton-evoked currents in TRPV1 channels. Studies defining the molecular determinants of blockade revealed that lidocaine inhibits TRPV1 channels with nanomolar affinity, while the neutral derivative, benzocaine, does not, indicating that a titratable amine mediates the high-affinity block. Consistent with this hypothesis, extracellular tetraethylammonium (TEA) and tetramethylammonium (TMA) application produced potent, voltage-dependent pore block. The overall conclusion is that local anesthetics, previously reported to be able to enter cells through the activated TRPV1 pore, also act as multi-agonist permeant pore blockers. These findings provide an elementary structural model for the molecular interactions between established nerve blocking compounds and the TRPV1 nociceptor. At a fundamental level, this work introduces a novel use for these compounds as molecular probes for the study of TRP channels, whereas at a clinical level, the present results represent a step forward in the development of long-lasting, nociceptive-specific agents for the treatment of pain.
Photoluminescence from Bi5(GaCl4)3 molecular crystal

description: Bi5(GaCl4)3 sample has been synthesized through the oxidation of Bi metal by gallium chloride (GaCl3) salt. Powder X-ray diffraction as well as micro-Raman scattering results revealed that, in addition to crystalline Bi5(GaCl4)3 in the product, amorphous phase containing [GaCl4]- and [Ga2Cl7]- units also exist. The thorough comparison of steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescent behaviors between Bi5(GaCl4)3 product and Bi5(AlCl4)3 crystal leads us to conclude that Bi53+ is the dominant emitter in the product, which gives rise to the ultrabroad emission ranging from 1 to 2.7 micrometer. Detailed quantum chemistry calculation helps us assign the observed excitations to some electronic transitions of Bi53+ polycation, especially at shorter wavelengths. It is believed that our work shown here not only is helpful to solve the confusions on the luminescent origin of bismuth in other material systems, but also serves to develop novel broadband tunable laser materials.
