description: The problems of flood wave propagation, in bodies of waters, caused by intense rains or breaking of control structures, represent a great challenge in the mathematical modeling processes. The solution of this problem passes, invariably, for the development of mathematical models that, in their formulations, describe, in the closest way, the real scenery of the process. On the other hand, the mathematical manipulation of those models implies in the solution of nonlinear differential equations, as it is the case of Saint Venant's Equation, of great application in the studies of rivers, for gradually varied flow. This research uses a discretization, for the equations that governs the propagation of a flood wave, in natural rivers, with the objective of a better understanding of the propagation process. The results have shown that the hydraulic parameters play important game in the propagation of a flood wave.

We study the distribution of the $x$-coordinates in short intervals when the $y$-coordinates lie in a prescribed interval, and the distribution of the distance between consecutive $x$-coordinates with the same property. Next, let $g(P,P_0)$ be a rational function of two points on $C$. We study the distribution of the above distances with an extra condition that $g(P_i,P_{i+1})$ lies in a prescribed interval, for any consecutive points $P_i,P_{i+1}$.

Cervical cancer screening in immigrant populations in British Columbia : participation rates and sociodemographic characteristics of use
Creators: name: Fletcher, Jennifer Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Background: The Pap screening practices of British Columbia's immigrant population and the specific barriers they face in accessing cervical cancer screening services are not well understood. This study attempts to gain a broad understanding of patterns in immigrant women's use of Pap screening programs, exploring rates of Pap screening participation, sociodemographic correlates of use and reported barriers to access for immigrant women in the BC relative to those of native-born Canadians in the province. Methods: Self-reported data on use of Pap screening services, immigration status and sociodemographic information were obtained from the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 3.1 for female respondents 18 to 69 years of age living in British Columbia. Lifetime and three-year Pap screening participation rates were calculated and multivariate logistic regression methods used to model the relationship between Pap screening participation and sociodemographic variables thought to be potential correlates of screening. Subgroup analyses of screening participation based on the racial or ethnic origin and country of birth of immigrant women were also conducted. Results: Immigrant women were found to participate in Pap screening, both over the lifetime and within the last three years, at rates significantly lower than those of non-immigrant women. Only 79% of immigrant women report having had a Pap test during their lifetime, compared to 93% of non-immigrant women. Those figures drop to 66% of immigrant women and 78% of non-immigrant women for Pap screens within the last three years. Many of the sociodemographic correlates of use are similar in the immigrant and non-immigrant populations, but often with different impacts on screening participation between the two groups. East Asian and South Asian immigrant women in particular report rates of screening participation below those of non-immigrant women, while participation rates among European immigrants are comparable to those of native-born Canadians. Conclusions: Subgroups of immigrant women in British Columbia are currently under-served by existing Pap screening programs in the province. Culturally-appropriate programs and policies are required to improve screening participation in these groups, thereby helping to decrease the cervical cancer burden presently being borne by these populations.

Although after averaging over many events only the magnetic field perpendicular to the reaction plane is sizable, we find very strong magnetic and electric fields both parallel and perpendicular to the reaction plane on the event-by-event basis. We study the time evolution and the spatial distribution of these fields. Especially, the electromagnetic response of the quark-gluon plasma can give non-trivial evolution of the electromagnetic fields. The implications of the strong electromagnetic fields on the hadronic observables are also discussed.

description: The ground state energy of a binary mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates can be estimated for large atomic samples by making use of suitably regularized Thomas-Fermi density profiles. By exploiting a variational method on the trial densities the energy can be computed by explicitly taking into account the normalization condition. This yields analytical results and provides the basis for further improvement of the approximation. As a case study, we consider a binary mixture of $^{87}$Rb atoms in two different hyperfine states in a double well potential and discuss the energy crossing between density profiles with different numbers of domain walls, as the number of particles and the inter-species interaction vary.

description: Skyrmions are vortex-like localized magnetic structures that possess an integer-valued topological index known as the skyrmion number or topological charge. Skyrmion number determines the topology-related emergent magnetism, which is highly desirable for advanced storage and computing devices. In order to achieve device functions, it is necessary to manipulate the skyrmion number in confined nanostructured geometries using electrical methods. Here, we report the reliable current-controlled operations for manipulating the skyrmion number through reversible topological transformations between skyrmion chains and stripe domains in confined Fe3Sn2 nanostripes. The results of micromagnetic simulations are successful in numerically reproducing our experiments and explaining them through the combined effect of current-induced Joule heating and magnetic hysteresis. These findings hold the potential to advance the development of topological spintronic devices.

description: We study linear perturbations around the static and spherically symmetric spacetime for the gravitational theories whose Lagrangian depends on Ricci scalar and the parity violating Chern-Simons term. By an explicit construction, we show that Hamiltonian for the perturbation variables is not bounded from below in general, suggesting that such a background spacetime is unstable against perturbations. This gives a strong limit on a phenomenological gravitational model which violates parity. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the theory to belong to a special class in which no such instability occurs. For such theories, the number of propagating modes for $\ell \ge 2$ is three, one from the odd and the other two from the even. Unlike in the case of $f(R)$ theories, those modes are coupled each other, which can be used as a distinctive feature to test the parity violating theories from observations. All the modes propagate at the speed of light. No-ghost condition and no-tachyon condition are the same as those in $f(R)$ theories. For the dipole perturbations, the odd and the even modes completely decouple. The odd mode gives a slowly-rotating BH solution whose metric is linearized in its angular momentum. We provide an integral expression of such a solution. On the other hand, the even mode propagates at the speed of light. For the monopole perturbation, in addition to a mode which just shifts the mass of the background BH, there is also one even mode that propagates at the speed of light.

description: Rapid detection of chemical contamination in the distribution system is essential in protecting public health, and using water quality surrogates to signal a contamination event offers the advantage of detecting a large number of chemicals. The concern over using surrogate parameters is whether they offer the ability to detect contaminants at concentrations low enough to prevent serious illness. The best candidates for water quality surrogates are generally thought to be chlorine residual and TOC, with conductivity, pH and turbidity being less sensitive to many chemical contaminants. All of these surrogate measurements have been in direct response to the chemical contaminant itself. This paper describes research on how the indigenous biofilm in the presence of toxic chemicals may provide an effective, indirect surrogate response with either turbidity or UV254. Rotating annular bioreactors and pipe loops were used to quantify the effect that the biofilm has on the turbidity and UV254 measurements. The hypothesis is that, if toxic chemicals are added to the distribution system, the biofilm would die and slough off to an extent that would change the UV254 absorbance and light scattering of the water so that relatively inexpensive monitors could detect the event. In previously documented work, three reactors with 20 PVC coupons in each were used to acclimate the biofilm for at least six weeks. The number of biofilm cells on each coupon was enumerated using automated fluorescence microscopy. The coupons were submersed into beakers with four potential chemical contaminants; aldicarb, cyanide, arsenate and fluoroacetate. The concentration of the contaminants was less than 1 mg/L, a concentration that was shown to be feasible to achieve in a distribution system in previous research. The turbidity was measured after 1, 8 and 48 minutes to determine the response time of the biofilm to the chemicals. In all cases, the turbidity significantly increased after one minute and in most cases continued to increase at the longer times. The batch data indicate that turbidity may be a useful surrogate monitor for chemical contamination due to die-off of the indigenous biofilms Biofilm slough-off and increased turbidity response occurred in the present study in which a commonly used turbidity monitor and a simple, inexpensive turbidity sensor monitored a simulated distribution system inoculated with five common industrial chemical contaminants. We will detail the results of the pipe loop study at the conference and describe the inexpensive turbidity monitor that has been developed.

description: It is well known that there are two types of magnetic bubbles in uniaxial magnets. Here, using Lorentz-transimission electronic microscopy magnetic imaging, we report the direct experimental observation of 3D type-III hybrid bubbles, which comprise Néel-twisted skyrmion bubbles with topological charge Q = -1 in near-surface layers and type-II bubbles with Q = 0 in interior layers, in Fe3Sn2 nanodisks. Using the tilted magnetic field, we further show the controlled topological magnetic transformations of three types of bubbles in a confined ferromagnetic nanodisk. Our observations are well reproduced using micromagnetic simulations based on measured magnetic parameters. Our results advance fundamental classification and understanding of magnetic bubbles, which could propel the applications of three-dimensional magnetism.

description: Magnetic skyrmions are spin swirls that possess topological nontriviality and are considered particle-like entities. They are distinguished by an integer topological charge Q. The presence of skyrmion bundles provides an opportunity to explore the range of values for Q, which is crucial for the advancement of topological spintronic devices with multi-Q properties. In this study, we present a new material candidate, Sr2Co2Fe28O46 hexaferrite of the X-type, which hosts small dipolar skyrmions at room temperature and above. By exploiting reversed magnetic fields from metastable skyrmion bubbles at zero fields, we can incorporate skyrmion-bubble bundles with different interior skyrmion/bubble numbers, topological charges, and morphologies at room temperature. Our experimental findings are consistently supported by micromagnetic simulations. Our results highlight the versatility of topological spin textures in centrosymmetric uniaxial magnets, thereby paving the way for the development of room-temperature topological spintronic devices with multi-Q characteristics.

description: Despite the recent developments in Graphene Oxide due to its importance as a host precursor of Graphene, the detailed electronic structure and its evolution during the thermal reduction remain largely unknown, hindering its potential applications. We show that a combination of high resolution in situ X-ray photoemission and X-ray absorption spectroscopies offer a powerful approach to monitor the deoxygenation process and comprehensively evaluate the electronic structure of Graphene Oxide thin films at different stages of the thermal reduction process. It is established that the edge plane carboxyl groups are highly unstable, whereas carbonyl groups are more difficult to remove. The results consistently support the formation of phenol groups through reaction of basal plane epoxide groups with adjacent hydroxyl groups at moderate degrees of thermal activation (~400 °C). The phenol groups are predominant over carbonyl groups and survive even at a temperature of 1000 °C. For the first time a drastic increase in the density of states (DOS) near the Fermi level at 600 °C is observed, suggesting a progressive restoration of aromatic structure in the thermally reduced graphene oxide

description: Reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is vital to mitigate climate change. To date reduction efforts have primarily focused on minimizing the production of carbon dioxide during electricity generation, transport, and other activities. Going forward, to the extent that carbon dioxide continues to be produced, it will need to be captured before release. The captured carbon dioxide can then be utilized in some fashion, or it can be injected into underground geological formations – e.g., depleted oil and gas reserves, deep saline aquifers, or basalt rock reservoirs – where, it is hoped, it will remain permanently sequestered (“carbon capture and storage” or “CCS”).

Research is currently being undertaken into the possibility of injecting carbon dioxide into the seabed. One study, involving researchers from Columbia’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, aims to identify possible injection sites in the seabed along the northeast coast of the U.S. It is anticipated that, following identification of suitable sites, a demonstration project will be undertaken to assess the feasibility of offshore CCS. This paper outlines key regulatory requirements for the demonstration project and any subsequent commercial operations.

description: Decarbonizing the U.S. energy system will require a program of building onshore wind, offshore wind, utility-scale solar, and associated transmission that will exceed what has been done before in the United States by many times, every year out to 2050. These facilities, together with rooftop photovoltaics and other distributed generation, are required to replace most fossil fuel generation and to help furnish the added electricity that will be needed as many uses currently employing fossil fuels (especially passenger transportation and space and water heating) are electrified. This Article, excerpted from Michael B. Gerrard & John Dernbach, eds., Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonization in the United States (ELI Press forthcoming 2018), discusses the four most important legal processes and obstacles involved in this enormous project: site acquisition and approval; the National Environmental Policy Act; state and local approvals; and species protection laws. It also presents recommendations for lowering the obstacles and briefly discusses several corollary actions that are needed.

description: The new status of natural gas in the global energy mix, Nigeria's extensive gas reserves, and the marked under-development, under-utilization and environmental challenges associated with Nigeria's gas sector make an examination of gas development in Nigeria imperative. This thesis, using sustainable development as a theoretical framework, examines the development of a sustainable legal and regulatory framework for gas development in Nigeria. It demonstrates how sustainable development can be integrated into practical decision-making, using conservation, which is an aspect of sustainable development, as a basis for arriving at evaluative criteria for determining a sustainable legal framework for gas development. This thesis utilizes an evaluation and comparison of Alberta and Nigeria's legal and regulatory frameworks for development of gas against identified criteria to arrive at answers to the research questions posed and to make recommendations for reform of Nigeria's legal and regulatory framework for gas development. It concludes that while in recent years the government is devoting more resources to natural gas development, Nigeria's legal and regulatory system needs foundational reform before it can truly be called sustainable.

description: The ENSO effects on Turkish streamflow and precipitation patterns were previously analyzed by applying the t-test on eight standard seasons beginning with the JJA (-1) season of the year before the event year and ending with the MAM (+1) season of the year after the event year. The objective of this study is to identify the ENSO effects on the mean temperature data in Turkey by using the same methodology used for streamflow and precipitation. The methodology mainly comprises of two phases: first, composite analysis; and second, statistical t-test analysis. An overall result shown by this study is that the response of temperature to ENSO events was not much noticeable than those of the two hydroclimatological variables. Any positive anomaly could not be detected during the classical seasons of the event year, indicating that the mean temperature values occur below the average. The dominancy of cold anomaly conditions begins with the JJA (-1) season and continues until the DJF (+1) season. Furthermore the MAM (0) season has a maximum number of negative anomalies when compared to other cold anomaly seasons. Besides the positive anomaly conditions of streamflow and precipitation at the event year, the temperature values exhibited negative anomaly conditions at the same time period. In this study we aimed to determine whether there exists any relationship between temperature, streamflow and precipitation patterns of Turkey in terms of responding to the ENSO forcing. In conclusion, a sign of the tropical biennial cycle was, to some extent, evident surface climate variables.

description: We use the localized principle component analysis to detect deviations from scale invariance of the primordial power spectrum of curvature perturbations. With the technique we make uncorrelated estimates of the primordial power spectrum with five wavenumber bins. In the framework of a minimal LCDM model, using the latest cosmic microwave background data from the WMAP and ACT experiments we find that more than 95% of the preferred models are incompatible with the assumption of scale-invariance, but still compatible with a power-law primordial spectrum. We also forecast the sensitivity and constraints achievable by the Planck experiment by performing Monte Carlo studies on simulated data. Planck could significantly improve the constraints on the primordial power spectrum, especially at small scales by roughly a factor of 4.

description: This study employs density functional theory (DFT) and density functional tight-binding theory (DFTB) to determine the adsorption properties of carbon dioxide (CO$_2$), methane (CH$_4$), and dihydrogen (H$_2$) in carbophenes functionalized with carboxyl (COOH), amine (NH$_2$), nitro (NO$_2$), and hydroxyl (OH) groups. We demonstrate that carbophenes are promising candidates as adsorbents for these gasses. Carbophenes have larger CO$_2$ and CH$_4$ adsorption energies than other next-generation solid-state capture materials. Yet, the low predicted desorption temperatures mean they can be beneficial as air scrubbers in confined spaces. Functionalized carbophenes have H$_2$ adsorption energies usually observed in metal-containing materials. Further, the predicted desorption temperatures of H$_2$ from carbophenes lie within the DOE Technical Targets for Onboard Hydrogen Storage for Light-Duty Vehicles (DOEHST) operating temperature range. The possibility of tailoring the degree of functionalization in combination with selecting sufficiently open carbophene structures that allow for multiple strong interactions without steric hindrance (crowding) effects, added to the multiplicity of possible functional groups alone or in combination, suggests that these very light materials can be ideal adsorbates for many gases. Tailoring the design to specific adsorption or separation needs would require extensive combinatorial investigations.

The first step was to analyze runners used in the sport of bobsleigh. This analysis was performed using a handheld rocker gauge, a device used in speed skating. The size of the device was optimized for hockey, short and long track speed skating, and bobsleigh. A number of runners were measured using the gauge and it was found that the portion of the runner contacting the ice generally has a rocker value of (20 - 50) m. Next, the hardness of athletic ice surfaces was analyzed. The ice hardness was determined by dropping steel balls varying in mass from (8 - 540) g onto the ice surface, from a height of (0.3 - 1.2) m, and measuring the diameter of the indentation craters. The ice hardness was found to be P(T) = ((-0.6 ± 0.4)T + 14.7 ± 2.1) MPa and the elastic recovery of the ice surface was found to be negligible. The F.A.S .T. model was adapted from a speed skate model to calculate the coefficient of friction between a bobsleigh runner and a flat ice surface. The model predicts that maximum velocities are obtained for temperatures between -10 and -20°C, in agreement with observations on the Calgary bobsleigh track. The model for flat ice suggests that the flattest runners produce the lowest coefficient of friction and that the rocker affects friction more than the cross-sectional radius. The coefficient of friction between runners and ice and the drag performance of 2- men bobsleighs were determined from radar speed measurements taken at the Calgary Olympic Oval and at Canada Olympic P ark: at the Ice House and on the bobsleigh track during a World Cup competition. The mean coefficient of friction was found to be ? = (5.3 ± 2.0) x 10- 3 and the mean drag performance was CdA = (0.18 ± 0.02) m2 .

description: In this paper we analyze Gresham's Law, in particular, how the rate of inflow or outflow of currencies is affected by the demand elasticity of arbitrage and the difference in face value ratios inside and outside of a country under a bimetallic system. We find that these equations are very similar to those used to describe drift in systems of free charged particles. In addition, we look at how Gresham's Law would play out with multiple currencies and multiple countries under a variety of connecting topologies.

description: Avoided crossing of the emission lines of a nearly free positive trion and a cyclotron replica of an exciton bound to an interface acceptor has been observed in the magneto-photoluminescence spectra of p-doped GaAs quantum wells. Identification of the localized state depended on the precise mapping of the anti-crossing pattern. The underlying coupling is caused by an exciton transfer combined with a resonant cyclotron excitation of an additional hole. The emission spectrum of the resulting magnetically tunable coherent state probes weak localization in the quantum well.

description: Recent genetic association studies have made progress in uncovering components of the genetic architecture of body mass index (BMI). We used the ITMAT-Broad-CARe (IBC) array comprising up to 49,320 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across ~2,100 metabolic and cardiovascular-related loci to genotype up to 108,912 individuals of European ancestry (EA), African Americans, Hispanics, and East Asians, from 46 studies, to provide additional insight into SNPs underpinning BMI. We used a five-phase study design: Phase I focused on meta-analysis of EA studies providing individual level genotype data; Phase II performed a replication of cohorts providing summary level EA data; Phase III meta-analyzed results from the first two phases; associated SNPs from Phase III were used for replication in Phase IV; finally in Phase V, a multi-ethnic meta-analysis of all samples from four ethnicities was performed. At an array-wide significance (P<2.40E-06), we identify novel BMI associations in loci TOMM40-APOE-APOC1 (rs2075650, P=2.95E-10), SREBF2 (a sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor gene, rs5996074, P=9.43E-07) and NTRK2 (a BDNF receptor, rs1211166, P=1.04E-06) in the Phase IV meta-analysis. Of ten loci with previous evidence for BMI association represented on IBC array, eight were replicated, with the remaining two showing nominal significance. Conditional analyses revealed two independent BMI associated signals in BDNF and MC4R regions. Of the 11 array-wide significant SNPs, three are associated with gene expression levels in both primary B-cells and monocytes; with rs4788099 in SH2B1 notably being associated with the expression of multiple genes in cis. These multi-ethnic meta-analyses expand our knowledge of BMI genetics.

How the turtle makes its palate without palatal shelves
Creators: name: Leung, Kelvin Jia-Mien
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Vertebrate craniofacial development and speciation has been studied in great detail, with major emphasis placed on mammalian species and highly derived archosaurs (birds). However, less is known about reptiles and in particular turtles. Turtles are speculated as to have retained many ancestral features of amniotes. Therefore, studying the Testudine (turtle) order not only helps to better understand amniote head development, but also the derivation of modern form. This thesis will investigate the formation of the hard palate in a representative turtle species, E. subglobosa, not only because of its evolutionary significance but also because this region is frequently affected in orofacial clefting. Origins of the palatine bones were first examined since other amniotes form these bones within outgrowths of the maxillary prominence, or the palatal shelves. Surprisingly no palatal shelves were found at the position or time when they should have been forming. Instead palatine bones condensed directly in the mesenchyme beneath the nasal cavity Furthermore there was no evidence from cell proliferation or apoptosis analysis of the maxillary prominences that vestigial shelves were ever present. The hypothesis following was that gene expression in the maxillary prominences might be different in turtles compared to the chicken or mouse in which shelves do form. I found no major differences but interestingly several of the genes I studied were also markers of the primitive stomodeum. Results show the turtle retains gene expression patterns of the chicken stomodeum, the primitive oral roof before palatal shelf formation, suggesting the turtle oral roof is still primitive in nature rather than advanced in other amniotes. This unfamiliar mechanism of hard palate development with no vestigial traits of palatal shelf formation supports arguments for a more basal placement of the turtle in the phylogenetic tree. Contrary to these findings, the similarity in gene expression and sequence to the chicken argues for a more derived placement closer to the archosaurs. While these present results do not allow for confident placement of the turtle as more basal or derived in the amniote tree, the data collected shows that ontological studies can help shed light on evolutionary debates.
