Simulation of the kinetics of an SBR for animal wastewater treatment
Creators: name: Jung, Jinki
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A mathematical model for SBR(Sequencing Batch Reactors) system treating swine wastewater is developed and a non-linear method and a linear method to estimate the kinetic coefficients, µm, Ks and kd, are compared. The coefficients determined by the non-linear method appeared to better fit the experimentally observed data. Based on the proposed model and the kinetic coefficients estimated by the non-linear method, a computer simulation is performed. The assumption of constant biomass in the fill period and the react period for the determination of kinetic coefficients is valid for the simulation of COD and biomass. The effects of changes in the yield factor, Y, on the efficiency of COD removal and biomass change were examined. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that COD removal is more sensitive to the change of Yield factor than the biomass change. The effect of idle period on the system performance must be considered in modeling of biomass change when idle period is considerably long to improve the accuracy of the model.

description: We show that two-dimensional convection-diffusion problems with a radial sink or source at the origin may be recast as a pure diffusion problem in a fictitious space in which the spatial dimension is continuously-tunable with the Peclet number. This formulation allows us to probe various diffusion-controlled processes in non-integer dimensions.

description: Microcavity exciton-polaritons, known to exhibit non-equilibrium Bose condensation at high critical temperatures, can be also brought in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding medium and form a quantum degenerate Bose-Einstein distribution. It happens when their thermalization time in the regime of positive detunings -- or, alternatively, for high-finesse microcavities -- becomes shorter than their lifetime. Here we present the self-consistent finite-temperature Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov description for such a system of polaritons, universally addressing the excitation spectrum, momentum-dependent interactions, condensate depletion, and the background population of dark excitons that contribute to the system's chemical potential. Employing the derived expressions, we discuss the implications for the Bogoliubov sound velocity, confirmed by existing experiments, and define the critical temperatures of (quasi-)condensation and the integral particle lifetime dependencies on the detuning. Large positive detunings are shown to provide conditions for the total lifetime reaching nanosecond timescales. This allows realization of thermodynamically-equilibrium polariton systems with Bose-Einstein condensate forming at temperatures as high as tens of Kelvin.

description: We have measured shot noise in single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) with good contacts at 4.2 K at low frequencies ($f=600 - 850$ MHz). We find a strong modulation of shot noise over the Fabry-Perot pattern; in terms of differential Fano factor the variation ranges over 0.4 - 1.2. The shot noise variation, in combination with differential conductance, is analyzed using two (spin-degenerate) modes with different, energy-dependent transmission coefficients. No power law dependence of shot noise, as expected for Luttinger liquids, was found in our measurements.

description: Within condensed-matter systems, strong electronic interactions often lead to exotic quantum phases. A recent manifestation of this is the unexpected observation of magnetic quantum oscillations and metallic thermal transport, both properties of systems with Fermi surfaces of itinerant quasiparticles, in the Kondo insulators SmB6 and YbB$_{12}$. To understand these phenomena, it is informative to study their evolution as the energy gap of the Kondo-Insulator state is closed by a large magnetic field. We show here that both the quantum-oscillation frequency and the cyclotron mass display a strong field dependence in the resulting high-field metallic state in $_{12}$. By tracking the Fermi-surface area, we conclude that the same quasiparticle band gives rise to the quantum oscillations in both insulating and metallic states. These data are understood most simply using a two-fluid picture where unusual quasiparticles, contributing little or nothing to charge transport, coexist with conventional fermions. In the metallic state this leads to a heavy-fermion bad metal with negligible magnetoresistance, relatively high resistivity and a very large Kadowaki-Woods ratio, underlining the exotic nature of the fermion ensemble inhabiting $_{12}$.

description: The purpose of the dissertation was the study of the Greek-Turkish relationships in regards to article 1 of the First Protocol of ECHR. In the beginning we defined the concept of property. Then we made a historical review of the institution of property from ancient times to this day. Afterwards we focused on the modern legal fortification of property. Then, we focused on the main subject of this dissertation, where we tried to interpret article 1, Protocol 1 of ECHR. Afterwards, we deviated from our main subject, for a matter of great practical importance. We focused on the claim of protection of the right to property. Specifically, we tried to interpret articles 34,35 and 41 of ECHR. Continuing, we occupied with the core subject of the dissertation which was the Cypriot applications. We examined first the case Loisidou, then the application of Cyprus v. Turkey and finally we occupied with the situation which dominates today concerning the Cypriot applications. Afterwards, we examined the Greek applications. Firstly, the case Fokas v. Turkey and then the case Yianopulu v. Turkey. Continuing, we studied the luck of the greek claims today. Finally, at the epilogue we testified certain conclusions as result of these we studied.

description: We report on a comparison of high-resolution numerical simulations of Lagrangian particles advected by incompressible turbulent hydro- and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. Numerical simulations were performed with up to $1024^3$ collocation points and 10 million particles in the Navier-Stokes case and $512^3$ collocation points and 1 million particles in the MHD case. In the hydrodynamics case our findings compare with recent experiments from Mordant et al. [1] and Xu et al. [2]. They differ from the simulations of Biferale et al. [3] due to differences of the ranges choosen for evaluating the structure functions. In Navier-Stokes turbulence intermittency is stronger than predicted by a multifractal approach of [3] whereas in MHD turbulence the predictions from the multifractal approach are more intermittent than observed in our simulations. In addition, our simulations reveal that Lagrangian Navier-Stokes turbulence is more intermittent than MHD turbulence, whereas the situation is reversed in the Eulerian case. Those findings can not consistently be described by the multifractal modeling. The crucial point is that the geometry of the dissipative structures have different implications for Lagrangian and Eulerian intermittency. Application of the multifractal approach for the modeling of the acceleration PDFs works well for the Navier-Stokes case but in the MHD case just the tails are well described.

Gravity-mode pulsations in subdwarf B stars: a critical test of stellar opacity

description: The identification of non-radial g-mode oscillations as the cause of variability in cool subdwarf B stars (PG1716 variables) has been frustrated by a 5 000 K discrepancy between the observed and theoretical blue edge of the instability domain (Fontaine et al. 2003). A major component in the solution to this problem has been identified} by (a) using updated OP instead of OPAL opacities and (b) considering an enhancement of nickel, in addition to that of iron, in the driving zone. The reason for this success is that, in OP, the ``Fe-bump'' contributions from iron and nickel occur at higher temperatures than in OPAL. As well as pointing to a solution of an important problem in stellar pulsation theory, this result provides a critical test for stellar opacities and the atomic physics used to compute them.

description: Η παρούσα έρευνα είχε στόχο να εξετασθούν μεταγνωστικές εμπειρίες σε καταστάσεις που εμπλέκουν την προοπτική μνήμη (ΠΜ). Οι μεταγνωστικές εμπειρίες που μελετήθηκαν ήταν το κενό στο νου, η εμπειρία στην «άκρη της γλώσσας», η περιπλάνηση της σκέψης, και η κενότητα του νου. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν νέοι, μεσήλικες και ηλικιωμένοι και των δύο φύλων. Μελετήθηκαν, επίσης, το θυμικό, οι γνωστικές αποτυχίες ως χαρακτηριστικό της προσωπικότητας, και η απερισκεψία ως χαρακτηριστικό προσωπικότητας ως παράγοντες πρόβλεψης των μεταγνωστικών εμπειριών. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι τα χαρακτηριστικά προσωπικότητας προβλέπουν τη μεταγνωστική εμπειρία του κενού στο νου, αλλά όχι την επίδοση στο έργο ΠΜ, και ότι παρουσιάζεται πτώση της επίδοσης στην ΠΜ με την πάροδο της ηλικίας, αλλά όχι επίδραση της ηλικίας στις μεταγνωστικές εμπειρίες. Επίσης, παρατηρήθηκαν υψηλές συσχετίσεις μεταξύ των μεταγνωστικών εμπειριών της περιπλάνησης της σκέψης, του κενού στο νου και της κενότητας του νου, αλλά όχι με την εμπειρία στην «άκρη της γλώσσας». Τέλος, ως προς την επίδραση του θυμικού στις επιδόσεις και τις μεταγνωστικές εμπειρίες, βρέθηκε ότι το ουδέτερο θυμικό οδηγεί σε αύξηση των εμπειριών της περιπλάνησης της σκέψης, του κενού στο νου και της κενότητας του νου σε σχέση με το θετικό και το αρνητικό, αλλά όχι αναγκαστικά σε χαμηλότερη επίδοση στο πειραματικό έργο
description: The present study aimed to examine metacognitive experiences in situations in respect to perspective memory (PM). The metacognitive experiences studied were blank in mind, "tip of the tongue", mind wandering, and mind blanking. Young, middle-aged and elderly people of both sexes participated in this study. We also studied affect, and cognitive failures and mindlessness as personality traits, which were also used as predictors of metacognitive experiences. The results of current study showed that personality traits predict metacognitive experience of blank in the mind, but they do not predict the performance in the PM task. Moreover, the results showed that there is a decline in task performance concerning older people, but there is not any effect of age on metacognitive experiences. There were also high correlations between the metacognitive experiences of mind wandering, blank in mind and mind blanking, but there were not any correlations between them and the experience "tip of the tongue". Finally, regarding the effect of affect on task performance and metacognitive experiences, it was found that neutral affect leads to an increase of mind wandering, blank in mind and mind blanking self- reports compared to positive and negative affect, but it does not necessarily lead to lower task performance

description: Galaxy clusters have been found to host a range of diffuse, non-thermal emission components, generally with steep, power law spectra. In this work we report on the detection and follow-up of radio halos, relics, remnant radio galaxies, and other fossil radio plasmas in Southern Sky galaxy clusters using the Murchison Widefield Array and the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder. We make use of the frequency coverage between the two radio interferometers - from 88 to $\sim 900$ MHz - to characterise the integrated spectra of these sources within this frequency range. Highlights from the sample include the detection of a double relic system in Abell 3186, a mini-halo in RXC J0137.2-0912, a candidate halo and relic in Abell 3399, and a complex multi-episodic head-tail radio galaxy in Abell 3164. We compare this selection of sources and candidates to the literature sample, finding sources consistent with established radio power-cluster mass scaling relations. Finally, we use the low-frequency integrated spectral index, $α$ ($S_ν\propto ν^α$), of the detected sample of cluster remnants and fossil sources to compare with samples of known halos, relics, remnants and fossils to investigate a possible link between their electron populations. We find the distributions of $α$ to be consistent with relic and halo emission generated by seed electrons that originated in fossil or remnant sources. However, the present sample sizes are insufficient to rule out other scenarios.

description: Introduction: Locus coeruleus (LC) is the primary source of norepinephrine to the brain and its efferent projections innervate many brain regions, including the thalamus. LC degrades with normal aging, but not much is known regarding whether its structural connectivity evolves with age or predicts aspects of cognition. Methods: Here, we use high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-based tractography to examine structural connectivity between LC and the thalamus in younger and older adults. Results: We found LC projections to be bundled in a fiber tract anatomically consistent with the central tegmental tract (CTT) and branch from this tract into the thalamus. The older cohort exhibited a significant reduction in mean and radial diffusivity within CTT as compared to the young cohort. We also observed a significant correlation between CTT mean, axial, and radial diffusivities and memory performance (delayed recall) in the older adult cohort. Discussion: These observations suggest that although LC projections degrade with age, the degree of degradation is associated with cognitive abilities in older adults.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής ήταν η μελέτη των μεταμοντέρνων μυθιστορημάτων του Τζόναθαν Φράνζεν (Διορθώσεις) και της Ζέιντι Σμιθ (Στην καρδιά της πόλης). Η συγκριτική μελέτη των δύο μυθιστορημάτων που εκδόθηκαν το 2001 στις ΗΠΑ και το 2012 στην Αγγλία αντίστοιχα, αποτέλεσε τον κεντρικό πυρήνα της εργασίας. Ειδικότερα, εξετάστηκαν οι αφηγηματικές εκδοχές που αποκτούν οι έννοιες της μετανεωτερικότητας και του φύλου σε συνάρτηση με το βίωμα της πόλης. Αναλύθηκε, δηλαδή, ο τρόπος με τον οποίο η μεταμοντέρνα αφήγηση προσεγγίζει την πολυδιάστατη ζωή του μετανεωτερικού υποκειμένου, όπως αυτή αναπτύσσεται στο σύγχρονο αστικό τοπίο. H δύναμη, επομένως, της γλώσσας να δρα και να επιτελεί, σχηματίζοντας και ανασχηματίζοντας το ατομικό και κοινωνικό παρόν, αποτέλεσε το κύριο διακύβευμα της συγκριτικής αυτής μελέτης. Ως εκ τούτου, δόθηκε έμφαση στην αφηγηματική διάσταση της δόμησης και της αποδόμησης της μεταμοντέρνας ταυτότητας καθώς και στην πολλαπλότητα της ερμηνείας της μεταμοντέρνας γραφής και τις έμφυλες προβληματικές με τις οποίες αυτή καταπιάνεται. Τέλος, η εξέταση των ομοιοτήτων και των διαφορών μεταξύ των δύο μεταμοντέρνων μυθιστορημάτων αποσκοπούσε στη διερεύνηση του κοινωνιολογικού προφίλ του αστικού χώρου καθώς και στις δυνατότητες αναμόρφωσής του μέσα από τη σύγχρονη αφηγηματολογία
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the postmodern novels of Jonathan Franzen (Corrections) and of Zadie Smith (North West). The main core of this thesis was the comparative study of the two novels published in 2001 in the USA and 2012 in England respectively. In particular, we examined the narrative versions of the notions of postmodernity and gender taking into account the modern experience of living in the city. Furthermore, we analyzed how the postmodern narrative explores the multidimensional life of the postmodern subject as it is currently developed in the modern urban landscape. Τhe power of the narrative language, therefore, to act and to perform by shaping and reforming both the individual and the social life was the main stakes of this comparative attempt. As a result, emphasis was placed to the narrative dimension of both the construction and deconstruction of the postmodern identity. We also dealt with the multiplicity of the interpretations and the gender oriented questions that appear to emerge from the postmodern writing. Last but not least, examining the similarities and differences between the two postmodern novels aimed at exploring the sociological profile of the urban space as well as its reforming possibilities through the different aspects of contemporary narrative

description: Cooper pair pumping is a coherent process. We derive a general expression for the adiabatic pumped charge in superconducting nanocircuits in the presence of level degeneracy and relate it to non-Abelian holonomies of Wilczek and Zee. We discuss an experimental system where the non-Abelian structure of the adiabatic evolution manifests in the pumped charge.

description: In the standard model in universal extra dimensions (UED) the mass of the Higgs field is driven to the cutoff of the higher-dimensional theory. This re-introduces a small hierarchy since the compactification scale 1/R should not be smaller than the weak scale. In this paper we study possible solutions to this problem by considering five-dimensional theories where the Higgs field potential vanishes at tree level due to a global symmetry. We consider two avenues: a Little Higgs model and a Twin Higgs model. An obstacle for the embedding of these four-dimensional models in five dimensions is that their logarithmic sensitivity to the cutoff will result in linear divergences in the higher dimensional theory. We show that, despite the increased cutoff sensitivity of higher dimensional theories, it is possible to control the Higgs mass in these two scenarios. For the Little Higgs model studied, the phenomenology will be significantly different from the case of the standard model in UED. This is due to the fact that the compactification scale approximately coincides with the scale where the masses of the new states appear. For the case of the Twin Higgs model, the compactification scale may be considerably lower than the scale where the new states appear. If it is as low as allowed by current limits, it would be possible to experimentally observe the standard model Kaluza-Klein states as well as a new heavy quark. On the other hand, if the compactification scale is higher, then the phenomenology at colliders would coincide with the one for the standard model in UED.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη της υπερβατικής ψυχολογίας του C. G. Jung από ποιμαντική και ψυχολογική σκοπιά. Εξετάσαμε τις όψεις της ψυχολογίας του Jung, οι οποίες εστιάζουν στην ψυχολογική πλευρά της θρησκευτικότητας. Κατόπιν παρουσιάσαμε την ορθόδοξη θεώρηση των γιουγκιανών θέσεων, αναφερθήκαμε στις θεωρίες του Jung σχετικά με τις αρχετυπικές εικόνες ως καθολικά μοτίβα και τη συσχέτισή τους με το Χριστιανικό Δόγμα και σημειώσαμε τις ομοιότητες και τις διαφορές μεταξύ των δύο πλευρών. Ολοκληρώσαμε την μελέτη και τονίσαμε τις δυσκολίες και τα προβλήματα που δημιουργούνται στη θρησκευτική ζωή από μία άκριτη αποδοχή των βαθύτερων γιουγκιανών πεποιθήσεών σε ό,τι την αυθεντικότητα της Χριστιανικής θρησκευτικής πίστης
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of Jung’s trascendental psychology from a pastoral and psychological approach. We examined the aspects of Jung’s psychology which are focusing to the psychological side of the religiosity. Then we presented the Orthodox point of view concerning the Jungian notions, we alluded at Jung’s theories upon archetypal images as universal motives and their contingency in respect of the Doctrine of Christianity, and we underlined the similarities and the differences between both sides. We completed the study and we mentioned the difficulties and the problems that emerge to religious life by an uncritical acceptance of Jungian deeper beliefs concerning authenticity by Christian religious faith

description: Photospheric absorption lines in classical T Tauri stars (CTTS) are weak compared to normal stars. This so-called veiling is normally identified with an excess continuous emission formed in shock-heated gas at the stellar surface below the accretion streams. We have selected four stars (RW Aur A, RU Lup, S CrA NW and S CrA SE) with unusually strong veiling to make a detailed investigation of veiling versus stellar brightness and emission line strengths for comparisons to standard accretion models. We have monitored the stars photometrically and spectroscopically at several epochs. In standard accretion models a variable accretion rate will lead to a variable excess emission. Consequently, the stellar brightness should vary accordingly. We find that the veiling of absorption lines in these stars is strongly variable and usually so large that it would require the release of several stellar luminosities of potential energy. At states of very large line dilution, the correspondingly large veiling factors derived correlate only weakly with brightness. Moreover, the emission line strengths violate the expected trend of veiling versus line strength. The veiling can change dramatically in one night, and is not correlated with the phase of the rotation periods found for two stars. We show that in at least three of the stars, when the veiling becomes high, the photospheric lines become filled-in by line emission, which produces large veiling factors unrelated to changes in any continuous emission from shocked regions. We also consider to what extent extinction by dust and electron scattering in the accretion stream may affect veiling measures in CTTS. We conclude that the degree of veiling cannot be used as a measure of accretion rates in CTTS with rich emission line spectra.

description: We present an extension of the work of D'Amato and Pastawski on electron transport in a one-dimensional conductor modeled by the tight binding lattice Hamiltonian and in which inelastic scattering is incorporated by connecting each site of the lattice to one-dimensional leads. This model incorporates Büttiker's original idea of dephasing probes. Here we consider finite temperatures and study both electrical and heat transport across a chain with applied chemical potential and temperature gradients. Our approach involves quantum Langevin equations and nonequilibrium Green's functions. In the linear response limit we are able to solve the model exactly and obtain expressions for various transport coefficients. Standard linear response relations are shown to be valid. We also explicitly compute the heat dissipation and show that for wires of length $N >> \ell$, where $\ell$ is a coherence length scale, dissipation takes place uniformly along the wire. For $N << \ell$, when transport is ballistic, dissipation is mostly at the contacts. In the intermediate range between Ohmic and ballistic transport we find that the chemical potential profile is linear in the bulk with sharp jumps at the boundaries. These are explained using a simple model where the left and right moving electrons behave as persistent random walkers.

description: Σκοπός της πτυχιακής εργασίας είναι η αναζήτηση σχέσης μεταξύ της ενδοθηλίνης και του άξονα της με την Απομυελινωτική Νόσο του ΚΝΣ. Η ενδοθηλίνη αποτελεί ισχυρό αγγειοσυσπαστικό πεπτίδιο, που ασκεί τις δράσεις της διάμεσου των υποδοχέων της Α και Β. Πρόσφατα δόθηκε έμφαση στις πλειοτρόπες, περά του αγγειακού ενδοθηλίου, δράσεις της, που περιλαμβάνουν τροποποίηση της λειτουργίας του ανοσιακού συστήματος. Η Απομυελινωτική Νόσος του ΚΝΣ αποτελεί ανοσολογικής αρχής νόσημα άγνωστης αιτιολογίας, που χαρακτηρίζεται από καταστροφή της μυελίνης και δημιουργία απομυελινωτικών πλακών. Η ενδοθηλίνη συμμετέχει στην παθοφυσιολογία της νόσου προάγωντας την αντιδραστικη αστρογλοίωση και αναστέλλοντας την ωρίμανση των ολιγοδενδροκυττάρων, εμποδίζοντας την επαναμυελινωση των απομυελινωτικων πλακών. Προάγει την δημιουργία αυτοαντιδρώντων Τ λεμφοκυττάρων δρώντας στην ρύθμιση της ωρίμανσης, της λειτουργίας και της επιβίωσης των δενδριτικών κυττάρων. Συμμετέχει στην παρατηρούμενη ελάττωση της αιματικής παροχής προς το ΚΝΣ και διαταράζει την λειτουργία του αιμτοεγκεφαλικού φραγμου επιτρέποντας την διέλευση φλεγμονωδών κυττάρων.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the relation between Endothelin, a potent vasoconstrictor, and Multiple Sclerosis, an unknown origin immune-mediated disease, in the light of recent interest in pleiotropic effect of the molecule and its axis in plethora of diseases, immune-mediated or not. We present its role in reactive gliosis and inhibition of maturation of oligodendrocytes, resulting in creation of plaques, a pathologic hallmark of the disease. Furthermore, we assessed its actions in blood-brain barrier breakdown and stimulation of autoreactive T cells through maturation, function and survival of Dendritic cells. Finally, endothelin is related to cerebral hypoperfusion that happens even early in the course of the disease.

description: Hydrogen adsorption by graphite is examined by classical molecular dynamics simulation using a modified Brenner REBO potential. Such interactions are typical in chemical sputtering experiments, and knowledge of the fundamental behavior of hydrogen and graphene in collisional conditions is essential for modeling the sputtering mechanism. The hydrogen adsorption rate is found to be dependent on the incident hydrogen energy and not on graphene temperature. Rather than destroying the graphene, hydrogen incidence at energies of less than 100 eV can be classified into three regimes of adsorption, reflection and penetration through one or more graphene layers. Incidence at the lowest energies is shown to distort the graphene structure.

description: The effect of coupling between pairing and quadrupole triaxial shape vibrations on the low-energy collective states of $γ$-soft nuclei is investigated using a model based on the framework of nuclear energy density functionals (EDFs). Employing a constrained self-consistent mean-field (SCMF) method that uses universal EDFs and pairing interactions, potential energy surfaces of characteristic $γ$-soft Os and Pt nuclei with $A\approx190$ are calculated as functions of the pairing and triaxial quadrupole deformations. Collective spectroscopic properties are computed using a number-nonconserving interacting boson model (IBM) Hamiltonian, with parameters determined by mapping the SCMF energy surface onto the expectation value of the Hamiltonian in the boson condensate state. It is shown that, by simultaneously considering both the shape and pairing collective degrees of freedom, the EDF-based IBM successfully reproduces data on collective structures based on low-energy $0^{+}$ states, as well as $γ$-vibrational bands.
