description: Hypersaline wastewater is a typical industrial wastewater produced by iron and steel metallurgy, food material processing and other industries. Aiming at a waste liquid produced by mechanical vapour recompression evaporation and concentration in Tianjin coastal industrial zone, an environment-friendly supercritical water oxidation technology was used to efficiently remove the high-content organic matter in the hypersaline wastewater concentrate (HWC). A comparison of the degradation effects of various oxidants in the supercritical state showed that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could be used as a suitable agent for processing the HWC. The reaction parameters were systematically optimised by single-factor experiment and response surface design. The degradation mechanism and reaction characteristics were analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Solid residues were characterised by field emission scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that when the dosage of hydrogen peroxide was 6.39%, the reaction temperature was 380°C, the reaction time was about 90 min and the optimal total organic carbon removal rate was 96.22%. Furthermore, it was found that hydroxyl radicals produced by hydrogen peroxide initiated the bond breaking and ring-opening reactions in organic matter, which eventually degraded organic matter into water and carbon dioxide.

description: Crustal extension at mature continental rifts and oceanic ridges occurs by a combination of normal faulting and magma injection, which interact to create rift morphology. Quantifying the relative roles of faulting and melt intrusion in accommodating extension at magmatic rifts remains difficult and requires studies at sufficient spatial and temporal scales to resolve the interaction between these processes. In this study we provide new chronological constraints based on cosmogenic exposure dating for the ∼100 kyr topographic evolution of a young and active magmatic rift segment in Afar, Ethiopia. We combine structural investigations, field mapping, geochemical analysis and cosmogenic 3He exposure dating of lava surfaces in order to investigate the interplay between volcanic activity and fault growth in the northern part of the axial depression, where the rift segment intersects a large stratovolcano. Our results allow us to determine the roles of the various magma reservoirs feeding this rift system and their interactions during accretion over the past 100 kyr. New age data for key lava units allow several magmatic cycles to be distinguished. Each cycle lasts 20–40 ka resulting in periods of high and low magma supply rate. The variations in magma supply rate at the segment extremity strongly affect the development of the rift depression, with the availability of melt controlling the morphological impact of faulting. Melts from different magma reservoirs feeding the segment are chemically distinct and geochemical analysis of lavas from the rift floor allows their respective contributions to maintaining magmatic accretion to be estimated. We propose that melts from the magma reservoir at the northern end of the segment contribute around one-third of the length of this portion of the segment, whereas the mid-segment reservoir is responsible for the remaining two-thirds of the segment accretion.

description: We study the projected radial distribution of satellite galaxies around more than 28,000 Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) at 0.2825 kpc whereas baryons account for more than 50% of the mass at smaller radii. We calculate the total dark-to-baryonic mass ratio and show that it is consistent with measurements from weak lensing for environments dominated by massive early type galaxies. Finally, we divide the satellite galaxies in our sample into three luminosity bins and show that the satellite light profiles of all brightness levels are consistent with each other outside of roughly 25 kpc. At smaller radii we find evidence for a mild mass segregation with an increasing fraction of bright satellites close to the central LRG.

description: As computer systems become more sophisticated they must be able to communicate their results successfully to their users. Natural language generation is the area of research concerned with developing methods that will allow a computer system to respond to its user in human language. In this paper, the need for natural language generation is first motivated by showing how it is used in several applications. Given that language generation is necessary for such systems, the paper also focuses on the issues that must be taken into account in developing a system that can generate language. Finally, techniques that have been used in two question-answering systems, the TEXT system [21] and TAILOR [22], are discussed.

description: Liradiscus es un género de diatomeas marinas fósiles casi exclusivamente encontrada en sedimentos que datan del Oligoceno temprano al Mioceno incluyendo sedimentos de los valles secos de McMundo, en Antártida. Este es un Reportamos del descubrimiento de Liradiscus en el Glaciar Quito, en la isla Greenwich a 300 msnm en Antártida.  La isla Greenwich está situada entre las islas Roberts y Livingston, forma parte del Archipiélago de las Shetland del Sur. Está cubierta prácticamente en su totalidad por una espesa capa de hielo, destacándose afloramientos rocosos y de sedimentos en las partes más elevadas y en las costas, las que en su mayoría están constituidas por glaciares que se cortan abruptamente en su contacto con el mar.  La isla es de origen volcánico. Las elevaciones de las Islas Shetland corresponderían a la continuación de la cordillera de los andes llamada Antartandes formadas posiblemente durante el Eoceno. Anualmente, durante el verano, el deshielo del Glaciar Quito da origen al río Culebra. El río es bien oxigenado, con una conductividad baja, con cantidad de sílice relativamente alta.  Durante el verano austral del 2014, se muestreó el río desde su origen hasta su desembocadura.  Al inicio del río, al pie del glaciar, la productividad es baja, y entre los pocos géneros de diatomeas identificados, estuvo Liradiscus. El clima en toda Antártida es extremo, sin embargo en los valles secos de la Antártida con temperaturas que alcanzan los -35º C, a escasos centimetros de profundidad viven gran cantidad de microorganismos considerados extremófilos. Se han encontrado actinobacterias que han permanecido vivas durante medio millón de años, en el permafrost antártico, gracias a un mecanismo especial de reparación del ADN. Es posible que el descubrimiento de Liradiscus en nuestro estudio demuestre que esta diatomea puede sobrevivir en las condiciones extremas de la Antártida.
Using virtual reality to improve design communication

description: A major challenge that faces designers is creating solutions within specific constraints. Creating acceptable design proposals requires designers to work closely with their clients to determine their exact needs and specifications. Good communication between clients and designers is thereby essential to a favourable outcome. Traditional communication approaches such as face-to-face discussions are sometimes insufficient for clarifying clients' requirements. ln these cases, expressing design intent using graphics is more intuitive and provides greater clarity. Unfortunately, for clients who lack sophisticated drawing skills, it may be very difficult for them to express ideas with freehand sketches. To improve this situation, this thesis proposes a web-based communication tool to help clients express design ideas using computer graphics. Currently, computer-aided design (CAD) is a typical choice for professional designers and engineers, due to its high demands of operating skills and computer support. The premise of this thesis is that web­based virtual reality (YR) can remove these technical barriers. By creating an easy-to-use tool that works inside a web browser, there is the potential for clients to explore design options early in the design process without having to learn CAD. To prove its technical feasibility, this thesis presents a proof-of-concept, YY3D, which enables clients to explore interior design solutions. YY3D is equipped with interactive functions that allow its user to select and arrange furniture from an online catalogue into a 3D virtual interior space. This thesis reviews the theoretical and technical background of virtual design, introduces the methodology to develop the proposed communication tool, and walks through the creation process of the proof-of-concept. The research results would be useful in creating applications to solve communication problems in other design fields.

description: A long history of using of fossil fuels has resulted in increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations. This anthropogenic process has influenced global climate change. One possible way to retard this increasing atmospheric concentration is to geologically sequester CO2 emissions. Successfully implementation of this technology requires a full understand of associated risks and detailed resource optimization. It is important to choose the appropriate level of complexity when selecting the type of simulation model to apply to this problem. Many risk assessment and optimization tools require large numbers of realizations. In most cases, using a full scale numerical CO2 leakage model for this process becomes computationally prohibitive. Therefore, faster CO2 leakage estimations are needed. An excellent semi-analytical multi-phase CO2 leakage algorithm has been developed by Celia et al. (2011). In the following work, three possible accuracy improvements to this algorithm are proposed and explored. Differences between leakage rates and pressure distributions are compared between existing and modified methods. Improvement suggestions are then made from these observations.

description: The splitting of a high-order optical vortex into a constellation of unit vortices, upon total reflection, is described and analyzed. The vortex constellation generalizes, in a local sense, the familiar longitudinal Goos-Hänchen and transverse Imbert-Federov shifts of the centroid of a reflected optical beam. The centroid shift is related to the centre of the constellation, whose geometry otherwise depends on higher-order terms in an expansion of the reflection matrix. We present an approximation of the field around the constellation of increasing order as an Appell sequence of complex polynomials whose roots are the vortices, and explain the results by an analogy with the theory of optical aberration.

Searching correlated patterns from graph streams

Year: 2021

description: © 2013 IEEE. Mining the correlation has attracted widespread attention in the research community because of its advantages in understanding the dependencies between objects. In this paper, a correlated graph pattern searching scheme has been proposed, that is, provided with a query g as a structured pattern (i.e., a graph), our algorithm is capable of retrieving the top- k graphs that most likely correlated with g. Traditional methods treat graph streams as static records, which is computational infeasible or ineffective because of the complexity of searching correlated patterns in a dynamic graph stream. In this paper, by relying on sliding windows to separate graph streams in chunks, we propose a Hoe-PGPL algorithm to handle the top- k correlated patterns searching from a dynamic perspective. Our algorithm applies Hoeffding bound and two-level (Sliding window level and local batch level) candidate inspection to discover potential graph candidates and determine the similarity of these candidates without double-checking the previous stream. Theoretical analysis shows that our method can guarantee the quality of the returned answers, and our experiments also present that Hoe-PGPL has an excellent performance with aspects of precision, recall, runtime, and resource consumption.
Defects in Crystalline Packings of Twisted Filament Bundles: I. Continuum Theory of Disclinations

description: We develop the theory of the coupling between in-plane order and out-of-plane geometry in twisted, two-dimensionally ordered filament bundles based on the non-linear continuum elasticity theory of columnar materials. We show that twisted textures of filament backbones necessarily introduce stresses into the cross-sectional packing of bundles and that these stresses are formally equivalent to the geometrically-induced stresses generated in thin elastic sheets that are forced to adopt spherical curvature. As in the case of crystalline order on curved membranes, geometrically-induced stresses couple elastically to the presence of topological defects in the in-plane order. We derive the effective theory of multiple disclination defects in the cross section of bundle with a fixed twist and show that above a critical degree of twist, one or more 5-fold disclinations is favored in the elastic energy ground state. We study the structure and energetics of multi-disclination packings based on models of equilibrium and non-equilibrium cross-sectional order.

description: Despite the proliferation of fine works on Marx, Dupré's learned text deserves attention. This is so because it provides a superb critical exposition of the complex development of Marx's social vision and theory as well as a provocative organicist critique of cultural disintegration in the modern West. In his close readings of Marx's works—from the doctoral dissertation to the third volume of Capital—Dupré displays an intellectual patience, historical sensitivity, and philosophical acumen rarely found in scholarly treatments of Marx. By refusing to succumb to either uncritical presentation or tendentious dismissal, he provides one of the most reliable, succinct, and engaging
interpretations we have of Marx's own writings.

description: When a model may be fitted separately to each individual statistical unit, inspection of the point estimates may help the statistician to understand between-individual variability and to identify possible relationships. However, some information will be lost in such an approach because estimation uncertainty is disregarded. We present a comparative method for exploratory repeated-measures analysis to complement the point estimates that was motivated by and is demonstrated by analysis of data from the CADET II breast-cancer screening study. The approach helped to flag up some unusual reader behavior, to assess differences in performance, and to identify potential random-effects models for further analysis.

description: A knowledge transfer gap exists when knowledge is created but not transferred between Practitioners and Academics. The existence of the gap is particularly impactful in organisations struggling to improve performance. Over 25 years as a working Practitioner, I have experienced its persistence and magnitude as organisational leaders struggle to tackle complex problems. The issue is the inability of Practitioners and Academics to effectively transfer knowledge to each other, which itself requires specialised skills and directed resources. The purpose of this research was to reframe the roles and processes that bridge the knowledge transfer gap in order to increase organisational effectiveness. The literature that stimulated my ideas was the notion exposed through Nonaka's (1988) description of middle management. The flow of information is not necessarily a straight line, but involves multiple hand-offs and roles to transfer knowledge from Jarvis' (1999) 'metatheories' (academia) to 'microtheories' (practice). Through this study, I identify seven knowledge transfer roles, differentiated and similarly grouped along a Knowledge Transfer Role Continuum© by their current practices, motivations and acceptance of these roles. Two distinct sets of success factors - one for the knowledge transfer process and another for the individual roles - were extracted, providing the impetus for future research. I also developed a framework called the Translation Process Continuum© that addresses how a variety of processes could begin to bridge the gap. While knowledge translator roles are integral to bridging the gap, they will not be embraced until there is a cultural shift within the academic and practice worlds, and a value placed on each other's contribution. Further, until there is evidence that these roles produce results and compensation and resources applied to support their work, acceptance will be hindered. In my view, research funding bodies are central to initiating this transformation. Finally, through adaptation and experience generated through this research, I propose enhancements to the Delphi method. These extend the current three application categories to eight and modify several design parameters. These recommendations influence panel selection, questionnaire development, data collection, analysis, and reporting, thereby broadening Delphi's flexibility and range of application.

description: Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza's In Memory of Her is a ground-breaking work. For the first time, we have a powerful defense of new theological emancipatory models of hermeneutics, critical method, and historical reconstruction and an application of these models in one book. This intentional traversing of academic disciplines—theology, ethics, church history, and biblical studies—for the pursuit of knowledge and empowerment of women represents a coming of age for liberation theology. In this essay, I shall focus solely on Schüssler Fiorenza's hermeneutical and methodological formulations, without losing sight of her broader concerns.

description: The weak equivalence principle of gravity is examined at the quantum level in two ways. First, the position detection probabilities of particles described by a non-Gaussian wave-packet projected upwards against gravity around the classical turning point and also around the point of initial projection are calculated. These probabilities exhibit mass-dependence at both these points, thereby reflecting the quantum violation of the weak equivalence principle. Secondly, the mean arrival time of freely falling particles is calculated using the quantum probability current, which also turns out to be mass dependent. Such a mass-dependence is shown to be enhanced by increasing the non-Gaussianity parameter of the wave packet, thus signifying a stronger violation of the weak equivalence principle through a greater departure from Gaussianity of the initial wave packet. The mass-dependence of both the position detection probabilities and the mean arrival time vanish in the limit of large mass. Thus, compatibility between the weak equivalence principle and quantum mechanics is recovered in the macroscopic limit of the latter. A selection of Bohm trajectories is exhibited to illustrate these features in the free fall case.

The Paradox of the Afro-American Rebellion

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1984

description: The distinctive feature of Afro-American life in the 60s was the rise on the historical stage of a small yet determined petite bourgeoisie promoting liberal reforms, and the revolt of the masses, whose aspirations exceeded those of liberalism but whose containment was secured by political appeasement, cultural control and state repression. Afro-America encountered the modern American capitalist order (in its expansionist phase)—as urban dwellers, industrial workers and franchised citizens—on a broad scale for the first time. This essay will highlight the emergence of the black parvenu petite bourgeoisie—the new, relatively privileged, middle class-and its complex relations to the black working poor and underclass. I will try to show how the political strategies, ideological struggles and cultural anxieties of this predominantly white-collar stratum of the black working class both propelled the freedom movement in an unprecedented manner and circumscribed its vision, analysis and praxis within liberal capitalist perimeters.

description: Saturated flow is typically assumed for seepage from a stream underlain by an alluvial aquifer. However, if the water table in an unconfined aquifer falls a sufficient distance below the streambed, the head losses in this less conductive layer will cause the region beneath the streambed to become unsaturated. Unsaturated flow transforms streams from constant head boundaries to constant flux boundaries, impacting not only the quantity of stream recharge but also biogeochemical transformations. The objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of unsaturated flow on stream/aquifer exchange. The modeling capabilities of one of the most commonly used groundwater flow models, MODFLOW, in simulating unsaturated stream/aquifer exchange is improved. The effects of unsaturated flow on MODFLOW predictions of aquifer drawdown and stream leakage are illustrated for hypothetical stream/aquifer systems.

I Vergleicht man etwa Lk I mit Apg 28, so rallt es schwer, zwischen der I stark sozial kritischen Ausprägung des Anfangs ("Armenevangelium"): und dem auf politische Konformität und Duldung orientierten Schlußteil des Doppelwerkes einen Zusammenhang zu finden. Unge- i klärt ist nicht nur, in welchem Verhältnis der "Armenevangelist" zum .j "Kirchenevangelisten" Lukas steht, sondern auch deren beider Relation zum "Heidenevangelisten".

description: The asymmetric simple exclusion process with random-force disorder is studied within the mean field approximation. The stationary current through a domain with reversed bias is analyzed and the results are found to be in accordance with earlier intuitive assumptions. On the grounds of these results, a phenomenological random barrier model is applied in order to describe quantitatively the coarsening phenomena. Predictions of the theory are compared with numerical results obtained by integrating the mean field evolution equations.

description: Prophetic modes of thought and action are dotted across the landscape of Afro-American history. I understand these modes to consist of protracted and principled struggles against forms of personal despair, intellectual dogmatism and socioeconomic oppression that foster communities of hope. Therefore the distinctive features of prophetic activity are Pascalian leaps of faith in the capacity of human beings to transform their circumstances, engage in relentless criticism and self-criticism and project visions, analyses and practices of social freedom. In this essay, I shall attempt to characterize and criticize—hence try to reactivate—the prophetic tradition in Afro-America.

description: A MBR treating filtrate from sludge ultra-dewatering (FSD) was studied in order to evaluate the real applicability to concentrated effluents. The MBR operation is comparable to conventional wastewater MBRs in terms of F/M and nitrogen to sludge ratios, SRT and MLSS in biological tanks. In contrary, the volume treated is lower with a comparable pollution load, the effluent being concentrated in nitrogen and carbon. Very high and stable ammonium (97.7 ± 2.4%), total phosphorus (81.8 ± 11.9%), chemical (89.5 ± 2.3%) and biochemical oxygen demands (98.8 ± 0.7%) removals are observed despite a significant modification of the FSD composition. The MBR removal performances are whether comparable or greater than those reported at full-scale for Sharon or Anammox processes. The evolution of membranes properties, in particular the decrease of permeability induced by the irreversible fouling, lead to a decrease of the daily permeate volume produced and an increase of the chemical cleaning need. The membrane lifespan was determined to be 5.5 years based on both the permeability loss and TSS in permeate. The permeability is directly correlated to the cumulated filtered flux of colloidal matter and a total of 350 kg O2 / m2 of membrane (COD in supernatant) is needed to reach a permeability below 100 LMH/bar. The specific energy consumption is comparable to other wastewater MBRs in kWh / kgCOD removed but the intensive chemical cleanings need to be 2.5 to 4.5 times more frequent. Overall, it can be concluded that MBR is adapted to treat FSD efficiently.

description: In less than a decade, the Islamic Banking (IB) industry has become an essential part of the global financial system. During the last ten years, the IB industry has witnessed changes in economic conditions and proved to be resilient during the periods of financial crisis. This paper aims to examine the important issues related to credit risk in selected Islamic banks in nine countries from Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) regions. It employs the generalized least squares panel data regression, to estimate the ratio of non-performance financing to total financing as dependent variables and bank specific variables (BSV) to determine the credit risk. It uses 12 years of unbalanced panel data from 40 different Islamic banks. The overall findings show that financing quality has a significant positive effect on credit risk. It is observed that the larger IBs owned more assets with lower credit risk compared to smaller banks. The bank’s age is also an important factor influencing the credit risk level. Moreover, regulatory capital significantly reduces the credit risk exposure adherence to the minimum regulatory capital requirements which help IBs to manage their credit risk exposures. It was also observed that IBs were not affected by the global financial crisis due to less credit risk compared to the conventional banks.
Acoustical characteristics of vegetated roofs - contributions to the ecological performance of buildings and the urban soundscape
Creators: name: Connelly, Maureen Rose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The multiple benefits of vegetated roofs have been proven to reduce the adverse effects of urban densification on infrastructure, natural systems and health. However, the lack of consideration of the acoustical characteristics and benefits of vegetated roofs has limited the ability of design professionals to implement vegetated roofs as an acoustical design solution for noise mitigation and soundscape enhancement. This research, the first of its kind, addressed this problem by measuring the sound absorption and transmission characteristics of vegetated roofs, and by a case-study comparative analysis of vegetated and non-vegetated roof-top play areas. A sound absorption evaluation of substrates, using an impedance tube method, determined that substrates absorb significant sound, and that porosity, percentage of organic matter, moisture content and compaction are acoustically relevant. A multi-variable regression model, developed to optimize the specification of substrates for sound absorption, indicated that a 12.5% increase in the percentage of organic matter increased sound absorption by 9%. The spherical decoupling method was applied to measure the noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of 25 in-situ roof level test-plots with three plant communities established in viable substrate depths. The NRC of the test-plots ranged from 0.2 to 0.6. Measurements of transmission loss (TL) from an indoor-to-outdoor sound transmission lab commissioned for this research, and field evaluations of vegetated roofs of varied substrate depth, water content and plant species, confirmed that the TL values of vegetated roofs are greater than those of non-vegetated reference roofs by 10 and 20 dB in the low and mid frequencies ranges, respectively. The case-study ambient soundscape analysis of vegetated and non-vegetated rooftop play areas demonstrated that vegetated roofs alter the roof level soundscape by the effect of their sound-absorptive characteristics. Most pronounced was the introduction of sounds of birds supported by the vegetated roof habitats and the sounds generated by people interacting with vegetation on the rooftop. The findings are summarized in design guidelines and application notes for synthesis into the landscape/architectural design process.

description: Poly(styrene-N-isopropylmethacrylamide-methacrylic acid) core–shell [P(SNM)CS] microgel particles were synthesised by seed-mediated emulsion polymerisation method. Silver nanoparticles were loaded into shell of P(SNM)CS microgels by in situ reduction of Ag+ ions. Synthesised core–shell microgels and hybrid core–shell microgels were characterised by using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–Visible spectroscopy and Dynamic light scattering (DLS). Stability of Ag nanoparticles within P(SNM)CS system was also investigated over the time using UV–Visible spectroscopy. Catalytic properties of silver nanoparticles loaded microgel system [Ag-P(SNM)CS] were studied by reducing Eosin-Y and Methylene blue with NaBH4 in water. The values of observed rate constant (kobs) were determined under different reaction conditions. The hybrid system was capable to degrade both dyes and may be used for degradation of several other toxic chemicals efficiently.
