Observational limits on the spin-down torque of Accretion Powered Stellar Winds

description: The rotation period of classical T Tauri stars (CTTS) represents a longstanding puzzle. While young low-mass stars show a wide range of rotation periods, many CTTS are slow rotators, spinning at a small fraction of break-up, and their rotation period does not seem to shorten, despite the fact that they are actively accreting and contracting. Matt & Pudritz (2005) proposed that the spin-down torque of a stellar wind powered by a fraction of the accretion energy would be strong enough to balance the spin-up torque due to accretion. Since this model establishes a direct relation between accretion and ejection, the observable stellar parameters (mass, radius, rotation period, magnetic field) and the accretion diagnostics (accretion shock luminosity), can be used to constraint the wind characteristics. In particular, since the accretion energy powers both the stellar wind and the shock emission, we show in this letter how the accretion shock luminosity L_UV can provide upper limits to the spin-down efficiency of the stellar wind. It is found that luminous sources with L_UV > 0.1 L_Sun and typical dipolar field components < 1 kG do not allow spin equilibrium solutions. Lower luminosity stars (L_UV < 0.1 L_Sun) are compatible with a zero-torque condition, but the corresponding stellar winds are still very demanding in terms of mass and energy flux. We therefore conclude that accretion powered stellar winds are unlikely to be the sole mechanism to provide an efficient spin-down torque for accreting classical T Tauri stars.

Long-term drift laser frequency stabilization using purely optical reference

description: We describe an apparatus for the stabilization of laser frequencies that prevents long term frequency drifts. A Fabry-Perot interferometer is thermostated by referencing it to a stabilized He-Ne laser (master), and its length is scanned over more than one free spectral range allowing the analysis of one or more lines generated by other (slave) lasers. A digital acquisition system makes the detection of the position of all the laser peaks possible, thus producing both feedback of both the thermostat and the error signal used for stabilizing the slave lasers. This technique also allows for easy, referenced scanning of the slave laser frequencies over range of several hundred MHz, with a precision of the order of a few MHz. This kind of stabilization system is particularly useful when no atomic or molecular reference lines are available, as in the case of rare or short lived radioactive species.

High frequency data analysis for wind energy applications
Creators: name: Escalante Soberanis, Mauricio Alberto
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: High frequency data (HFD) of three site studies in different geographic locations were analyzed to reproduce the power spectrum illustrated by Van der Hoven in 1957. His work represents the basis of wind energy standards such as averaging and variability in the frequency domain. The results presented in this thesis unveil discrepancies with Van der Hoven’s approach. A major eddy-energy peak is illustrated at a period of 2 days and a smaller eddy-energy peak contribution at frequencies higher than the region known as the spectrum gap. The variance in the microscale region was calculated by integrating the Power Spectral Density (PSD) over the corresponding range of frequencies. The economic value of this energy variance based on the turbulence kinetic energy of the wind data set is calculated. It is also concluded that, given the results of the study, HFD analysis in the frequency domain uncovers eddy-energy peaks that determine energy fluctuations in the short and long terms. An algorithm was developed to detect delay times in the turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) and the energy dissipation rate ε on a continuous basis (thereby identifying the highest cross-correlation coefficients between them). The Kolmogorov turbulence order is applied to calculate the energy dissipation rate ε through the identification of the inertial subrange. The time scale in the variations of both parameters was successfully calculated and it is close to the time the air takes to circulate between the surface and the top of the atmosphere’s mixed layer. High correlation coefficients are found in the three site studies from 4am to 8am, and from 8pm to 12pm. The cross-correlation function also determines delay time scales in the range of 10-20 minutes and approximately 2 hours. The energy dissipation rate can be calculated to characterize wind variability in a particular site that might affect the performance of a wind turbine. With these results, more information is generated that can be used in the wind turbine’s control system routines to improve its response under wind turbulence variations.

description: This work deals with the stochastic flow simulation in statistically isotropic and anisotropic saturated porous media in 3D case. The hydraulic conductivity is assumed to be a random field with lognormal distribution. Under the assumption of smallness of fluctuations in the hydraulic conductivity we construct a stochastic Eulerian model for the incompressible flow as a divergenceless Gaussian random field with a spectral tensor of a special structure derived from Darcy's law. A randomized spectral representation is then used to simulate this random field. Numerical results are compared with the analytical results obtained by the small pertrubation expansion. A series of test calculations confirmed the high accuracy and computational efficiency of the method. Comparisons with asymptotically exact results show a good agreement.

description: This paper deals with approximate solutions of a nonsmooth semi-infinite programming with multiple interval-valued objective functions. We first introduce four types of approximate quasi Pareto solutions of the considered problem by considering the lower-upper interval order relation and then apply some advanced tools of variational analysis and generalized differentiation to establish necessary optimality conditions for these approximate solutions. Sufficient conditions for approximate quasi Pareto solutions of such a problem are also provided by means of introducing the concepts of approximate (strictly) pseudo-quasi generalized convex functions defined in terms of the limiting subdifferential of locally Lipschitz functions. Finally, a Mond--Weir type dual model in approximate form is formulated, and weak, strong and converse-like duality relations are proposed.

We find a minimum in the excitation function of the pion freeze-out volume at low transverse momenta and around $E_{lab}\sim 20-30A$GeV which can be related to the transition from hadronic to string matter (which might be interpreted as a pre-cursor of the QGP). The existence of the minimum is explained by the competition of two mechanisms of the particle production, resonance decays and string formation/fragmentation.

The role of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling in human granulosa cells during the periovulatory interval
Creators: name: Zhang, Han
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Ovulation is a complex and finely-tuned process whereby a series of closely-regulated events happen, including cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) expansion, resumption of oocyte meiosis and follicle rupture. These events must occur before luteinization; otherwise the oocytes are trapped within follicles and destined to degenerate. Appropriate timing requires specific changes in granulosa cell functions that are governed by gonadotropins and regulated by intrafollicular molecular regulators. In animal models, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are essential for successful ovulation by inhibiting early luteinization. However, the detailed functions and underlying mechanisms of BMPs on the ovulation/luteinization process have not been fully established. In the present research, immortalized (SVOG) and primary human granulosa cells were used to investigate the effects of recombinant human BMPs on steroid hormones and COC expansion-related protein production. Receptor-mediated signaling was investigated using activin receptor-like kinase (ALK) inhibitors and small interfering RNAs targeting ALKs and SMADs. In human granulosa cells, BMP4 and BMP7 suppress progesterone production and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) expression while increasing estradiol production and aromatase expression. This fact suggests that BMPs could inhibit premature luteinization by decreasing the progesterone/estradiol ratio. BMPs (BMP4, BMP6, BMP7 and BMP15) up-regulate hyaluronan synthases 2 (HAS2) expressions and hyaluronan production as well as the expression of the hyaluronan binding protein versican. BMP4 also induced A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with TromboSPondin Repeats-1 (ADAMTS-1) protein levels and activity of versican proteolytic cleavage. It suggests that BMPs could promote COC mass formation while simultaneously loosing the matrix by increasing versican cleavage. In addition, the findings that the effects of BMPs on different gene expressions are differentially mediated by ALK inhibitors suggest that human granulosa cells have the capacity to signal via multiple BMP type I receptors in response to these factors, but that the receptor(s) are differentially coupled to specific target genes or cellular responses. Moreover, BMPs regulate different biological processes by activating different SMAD signaling: down-regulate progesterone production through canonical SMAD1/5/8 signaling, while up-regulate hyaluronan production through noncanonical SMAD2/3 signaling. These findings deepen knowledge of the physiological roles of BMPs during periovulatory interval and may lead to applying to in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocol improvement.

description: Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of N,N'-dioctadecyl thiacyanine perchlorate (NK) and octadecyl rhodamine B chloride (RhB18) and their mixtures in the presence and absence of clay mineral layers were investigated by recording surface pressure - area isotherms and by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopies. The isotherms of NK, RhB18 and their mixtures are characteristic for liquid expanded state behaviour with repulsive interactions between the two cationic dyes. In the presence of laponite the isotherms show liquid expanded and condensed state behaviour. In laponite dispersions and in monolayers, NK has a strong tendency to aggregate with formation of H- and J- aggregates. The absorption and fluorescence maxima of the monomers in the films are at 435 nm and at 480 nm; H-dimer have an absorption maximum around 410 nm and do not fluoresce. J-dimers are present in all the films with absorption maximum at 461 nm and fluorescence at 463 nm. RhB18 is mainly present as monomers in the LB films with an absorption maximum at 576 nm and fluorescence at 595 nm. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer from NK to RhB18 has been observed in clay dispersions and in films with and without laponite. The optimum condition for NK RhB18 fluorescence energy transfer in the films is 90 mol% NK + 10 mol% RhB18.

description: This paper investigates the performance of open-loop multi-antenna point-to-point links in ad hoc networks with slotted ALOHA medium access control (MAC). We consider spatial multiplexing transmission with linear maximum ratio combining and zero forcing receivers, as well as orthogonal space time block coded transmission. New closed-form expressions are derived for the outage probability, throughput and transmission capacity. Our results demonstrate that both the best performing scheme and the optimum number of transmit antennas depend on different network parameters, such as the node intensity and the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio operating value. We then compare the performance to a network consisting of single-antenna devices and an idealized fully centrally coordinated MAC. These results show that multi-antenna schemes with a simple decentralized slotted ALOHA MAC can outperform even idealized single-antenna networks in various practical scenarios.

Assessment of microbial cell viability in municipal sludge after microwave and ultrasound and subsequent impacts on anaerobic digestion
Creators: name: Cella, Monica Angela
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective method of waste sludge stabilization with lower costs and energy footprints; recently, researchers have begun to optimize the enhancement of AD by pretreating sludge prior to AD. In this study, two sludge pretreatment methods, ultrasonication (US) and microwave irradiation (MW) were compared to determine the relative amounts of microbial inactivation within pretreated secondary sludge, and how this cellular destruction translates to AD processes. The intensities chosen for MWpretreatment were based on previous studies using sludge from the wastewater treatment plant in Kelowna, BC, Canada. The intensity range chosen for MW possessed specific energy inputs of 2.17, 2.62, 4.89, and 6.48 kJ/g total solids (TS). For comparison purposes, US intensities were calculated to be 2.37, 4.74, 6.73, 23.09, and 27.71 kJ/g TS. Using a novel approach, the extent of cellular destruction caused at these intensities was measured using microbial viability fluorophore assays: 1) a molecular assay to measure live and dead cells and 2) a fluorescein diacetate assay to measure relative metabolic activity of sludge micro-organisms. From the results of the viability assays, it was determined that MW had the greatest effect on cells, having several times greater cell death and inactivation than both US-pretreated and non-pretreated sludge, even at lower specific energy values. Additionally, a MW and US intensity with similar specific energy inputs (2.62 kJ/gTS and 2.37 kJ/gTS, respectively) were applied to feed sludge of bench-scale digesters to compare effects on AD over three consecutive sludge retention times (SRTs), at 20 d, 14 d, and 7 d. The MW-fed digester had the highest overall methane production (248.2 L CH₄/kg volatile solids), greatest pathogen removal (73.4% and 69.8% less fecal coliforms over control during the 14 d and 7 d SRTs, respectively), and greatest solids removal (44.2% TS reduction). Interestingly, fecal coliform concentrations in the digester fed USpretreated sludge increased over the control for both the 14 d (31%) and 7 d (39.6%) SRT. All digesters possessed positive net energy production over the three chosen SRTs.

description: We investigate the parametrization issue for discrete-time stable all-pass multivariable systems by means of a Schur algorithm involving a Nudelman interpolation condition. A recursive construction of balanced realizations is associated with it, that possesses a very good numerical behavior. Several atlases of charts or families of local parametrizations are presented and for each atlas a chart selection strategy is proposed. The last one can be viewed as a nice mutual encoding property of lossless functions and turns out to be very efficient. These parametrizations allow for solving optimization problems within the fields of system identification and optimal control.

Reservoir characterization of the Duvernay Formation, Alberta : a pore- to basin-scale investigation
Creators: name: Munson, Erik Ole
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The reservoir properties of the Duvernay Formation mudrock gas and oil (“shale gas”) reservoir in Alberta were investigated. The investigation included an assessment of current methodologies utilized to study mudrocks, development of new methodologies, pore- to basin-scale characterization and integration of core data with wireline logs. The Duvernay exists over multiple thermal maturity boundaries and provides a laboratory to investigate numerous pertinent research questions. Deposition of organic-rich Duvernay mudrocks was controlled by the spatial relationship to Leduc reef complexes. Greater thicknesses (> 70 m) of Duvernay mudrocks are found within embayments where oxygenated water circulation was most restricted. The Duvernay progressively thins (< 5 m) to the basin center where organic-lean lime mudstones were deposited instead of Duvernay mudrocks. Core samples were taken from eight wells to form a high-resolution database of rock properties including mineralogy, total organic carbon (TOC) content, and total porosity. Duvernay mudrocks average between 2.4 % and 5.6 % total porosity and between 3.0 % and 4.4 % TOC per well. A regional lime mudstone within the Duvernay averages less than 2 % porosity and 0.5 % TOC and therefore is considered to be of poor reservoir quality. Artificial neural network models were used to successfully integrate laboratory data with wireline logs to predict rock properties in wells without laboratory data, providing enhanced correlation coefficients over linear regressions (R=0.82 versus R=0.67). The pore structure of Duvernay mudrocks varies systematically with thermal maturity. Fine pore sizes (micro- and fine mesopores) hosted within organic matter progressively increase in volume as thermal maturity increases. Coarse pore sizes (coarse meso- to macropores) progressively decrease in volume with increasing burial depth due to compaction. Wet and dry gas window samples have average pulse-decay permeabilities (PDP) an order of magnitude higher (1.8 x 10-⁴ mD) than oil window samples (1.6 x 10-⁵ mD), despite the shift in pore modality to finer sizes. The network of fine pores developed with maturity and associated with organic matter is sufficiently connected to contribute to higher PDP values. Gas expansion permeability experiments further indicate fine pores are connected and yield increased matrix permeabilities.

Quality improvement through a leadership program : influential factors to design and implement QI project using the model of improvement
Creators: name: Cote-Marcil, Camille
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Background: Quality Improvement (QI) is a systematic approach to making changes that strengthen clinical practices, enhance professional and organisational development, and ultimately improve patient and population health outcomes. The Canadian healthcare system has encouraged QI by financing change and innovation initiatives and spreading ideas through knowledge translation and exchange. Nurses are key caregivers in the hospital setting and they can significantly influence the quality of healthcare. To build knowledge and engagement among front-line staff, a Leadership Program was developed in a Western Canadian hospital. This research aims to understand influential factors for the design and implementation of QI initiatives led by nurses using the Model of Improvement as the framework to guide improvement work. Methods: This case study is a descriptive investigation. Two cases were selected through purposeful sampling, which sought critical cases that would provide rich and thick description of the initiatives. Data collection methods included 14 semi-structured interviews, three participatory observation activities, and source documents. Data analysis was performed through thematic analysis. Participants in this study included the nurse leaders and team members including QI consultants and unit managers, and other healthcare providers impacted by those initiatives. Results: The results showed that the planning phase and the selection of appropriate interventions or tools was challenging for nurse leaders inexperienced in QI. Testing changes using the PDSA cycles was also not well understood by the majority of the participants. Factors such as the engagement of healthcare providers, increased complexity in cases with multi-professional and multi-unit involvement, and the lack of resources or incentives were perceived as barriers by the participants. Conclusions: QI is difficult to achieve as it implies changing organisational culture and requires both resources and support from organisational leadership. Institutional commitment with the support of senior management in parallel with QI competency building of professionals is paramount to facilitate nurses’ QI role and leadership. Because QI initiatives demand a high investment in healthcare providers’ time and institutional resources, their careful planning, organisational support and the evaluation of outcomes are needed in the future.

description: Current disruption (CD) and the related kinetic instabilities in the near-Earth magnetosphere represent physical mechanisms which can trigger multi-scale substorm activity including global reorganizations of the magnetosphere. Lui et al. (2008) proposed a CD scenario in which the kinetic scale linear modes grow and reach the typical dipolarization scales through an inverse cascade. The experimental verification of the inverse nonlinear cascade is based on wavelet analysis. In this paper the Hilbert-Huang transform is used which is suitable for nonlinear systems and allows to reconstruct the time-frequency representation of empirical decomposed modes in an adaptive manner. It was found that, in the Lui et al. (2008) event, the modes evolve globally from high-frequencies to low-frequencies. However, there are also local frequency evolution trends oriented towards high-frequencies, indicating that the underlying processes involve multi-scale physics and non-stationary fluctuations for which the simple inverse cascade scenario is not correct.

description: This paper emphasizes the ubiquitous role of moduli spaces of algebraic curves in associative algebra and algebraic topology. The main results are: (1) the space of an operad with multiplication is a homotopy Gerstenhaber (i.e., homotopy graded Poisson) algebra; (2) the singular cochain complex is naturally an operad; (3) the operad of decorated moduli spaces acts naturally on the de Rham complex $Ω^\bullet X$ of a Kähler manifold $X$, thereby yielding the most general type of homotopy G-algebra structure on $Ω^\bullet X$.
