title: Engineered Microalgae Cultivations Systems: Conversion of Wastewater Nutrients Into Biofuels and Bioplastics
Creators: name: Watkins, Jacob
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: Dissolved Nitrogen and Phosphorus in wastewater can contribute to harmful algae blooms if released into the environment. One technology that can be used to recover dissolved nutrients from wastewater is the Rotating Algae Biofilm Reactor (RABR), which supports microalgae growth in an easily-harvested biofilm and produces nitrogenand phosphorus-rich biomass that can be used to produce slow-release fertilizers, biofuels, and compostable bioplastics. This thesis (1) examines the effects of several environmental factors on the biomass production rate and nutrient removal efficiency of RABRs treating municipal wastewater, (2) quantifies the composition and biofuel yields of microalgae biomass cultivated using a RABR at the Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility (CVWRF) in Salt Lake City, Utah, and (3) evaluates the cost of producing biofuels and bioplastics from the same biofilm.
The effects of four environmental factors (temperature, light intensity, harvesting period, and hydraulic retention time) on biofilm growth and phosphorus removal were evaluated using a statistical design that allows the estimation of changes in the effect of each factor in response to the other factors. This study found that the effect of harvesting period on biofilm growth was influenced by temperature and by light intensity, the effect of light intensity on biofilm growth was influenced by HRT, and the effect of light intensity on phosphorus removal was influenced by temperature. Phosphorus removal could be accounted for primarily by chemical precipitation, with relatively small contributions from direct uptake by the microalgae biofilm. Results from this study were applied to a 11,400-liter pilot RABR operating at CVWRF and used to help determine operating conditions for use in a full-scale model (600,000 gallons of wastewater per day) of the RABR system.
Products like compostable bioplastics, biofuels, and slow-release fertilizers are produced from wastewater-grown microalgae biomass and can be sold to offset wastewater treatment costs. To determine which product should be produced from the algae grown at CVWRF, the biochemical composition and biocrude yields of the CVWRF algae were characterized. Based on this characterization, the technical and economic feasibility of three biomass upgrading processes were selected for evaluation. These processes are (1) the production of bioplastics, (2) the production of bioplastics with a lipid-extraction pretreatment, and (3) the production of biocrude via hydrothermal liquefaction. The production of slow-release fertilizer (dried algae with no further treatment) is also described. Of these processes, the bioplastic production process had the most cost-competitive pricing and the highest carbon and energy efficiency.

description: We use a recently developed self-consistent GW approximation to present first principles calculations of the conduction band spin splitting in GaAs under [110] strain. The spin orbit interaction is taken into account as a perturbation to the scalar relativistic hamiltonian. These are the first calculations of conduction band spin splitting under deformation based on a quasiparticle approach; and because the self-consistent GW scheme accurately reproduces the relevant band parameters, it is expected to be a reliable predictor of spin splittings. We also discuss the spin relaxation time under [110] strain and show that it exhibits an in-plane anisotropy, which can be exploited to obtain the magnitude and sign of the conduction band spin splitting experimentally.

Fluidized bed gasification of some western Canadian coals
Creators: name: Gutierrez Despouy, Luis Alberto
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Three different Western Canadian coals were gasified with air and steam in a fluidized bed of 0.73 mm Ottawa sand and coal, at atmospheric pressure, and temperatures of 1023 - 1175 K to produce a low Btu gas. The coals tested were of two types: one non-caking and two caking coals. The results were compared with those previously obtained for the same three coals when gasified in essentially the same equipment, but operated as a spouted bed. The effects of temperature, coal feed rate, air to coal ratio, steam to coal ratio, coal quality, coal particle size, and bed depth on the gas composition, gas calorific value and the operating stability of the gasifier, were established by running gasification tests over a wide range of operating conditions. Typical calorific value of the gas obtained for all three coals was in the range of 2.0 - 2.6 MJ/m³, which is lower than reported for the spouted bed and commercially available fluidized bed gasifiers. Analysis of the results suggested that in the present low temperature gasifier, the combustion and pyrolysis reactions predominate over the gasification reactions. The ability to treat caking coals in fluidized bed and spouted bed reactors is discussed. It is concluded that the dispersion of coal in a bed of inert silica and ash, rather than hydrodynamic characteristics is the key-factor in their success in handling caking coals.

description: We consider the weakly asymmetric exclusion process on a bounded interval with particles reservoirs at the endpoints. The hydrodynamic limit for the empirical density, obtained in the diffusive scaling, is given by the viscous Burgers equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In the case in which the bulk asymmetry is in the same direction as the drift due to the boundary reservoirs, we prove that the quasi-potential can be expressed in terms of the solution to a one-dimensional boundary value problem which has been introduced by Enaud and Derrida \cite{de}. We consider the strong asymmetric limit of the quasi-potential and recover the functional derived by Derrida, Lebowitz, and Speer \cite{DLS3} for the asymmetric exclusion process.

We prove that there exists $\varepsilon^* >0$ such that, for every $\varepsilon \in (0, \varepsilon^*)$, $(P_\varepsilon)$ has at least $2{\mathcal P}_1(Ω)-1$ solutions, possibly counted with their multiplicities, where ${\mathcal P}_t(Ω)$ is the Poincaré polynomial of $Ω$. Using Morse techniques, we furnish an interpretation of the multiplicity of a solution, in terms of positive distinct solutions of a quasilinear equation on $Ω$, approximating $(P_\varepsilon)$.

description: RESUMO

 

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise sobre a atuação das casas de acolhimento, enquanto medida excepcional, na coibição de violências praticadas contra crianças e adolescentes no âmbito familiar, destacando seu papel na garantia dos direitos previstos na Constituição Federal e no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA), sobretudo o direito à dignidade. A pesquisa se efetivou em dois momentos. Primeiro fizemos um levantamento bibliográfico, quando as teorias em movimento permitiram discutir dados de uma atividade empírica, isto é, de campo, realizada com todo rigor e analisados à luZda teoria da análise de conteúdo. O projeto foi submetido à apreciação ética do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos CEP-FACIT, com aprovação do colegiado conforme Certificado de Apresentação de Apreciação Ética CAAE nº 79312124.3.0000.8408 e Parecer Consubstanciado Número 6.807.542 emitido dia 07 de abril de 2024. Com Efeito, quando se fala em casa de acolhimento, orfanato, instituição de amparo ao menor, e demais termos que se possa atribuir, temos a imagem de um local insalubre, visão essa que é reforçada pelas obras cinematográficas, muito consumida atualmente, podendo influenciar até mesmo na forma como a criança acolhida percebe sua realidade. Os resultados preliminares indicam que, apesar das limitações estruturais, as casas de acolhimento desempenham um papel crucial na proteção e promoção da dignidade dos menores, embora ainda enfrentem desafios significativos para garantir a efetividade plena desses direitos. Deste modo, a pesquisa e seus resultados são um convite para que possamos despertar para uma realidade na qual, queiramos ou não, temos nossa parcela de responsabilidade. Esperamos, pois, que nossas argumentações encontrem eco, de modo que nos sensibilizemos com o que ao longo do texto está posto, e assim possamos contribuir para que haja efetividade na garantia do direito à dignidade atribuída legalmente ao infante, sobretudo ao abrigado em casas de acolhimento, visto que se encontram (temporariamente?) à margem da proteção familiar.
Hydrogen sulphide oxidation under claus furnace conditions
Creators: name: Bennett, Howard Austin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The oxidation of hydrogen sulphide under Claus furnace conditions (800 to 1500°K and one atmosphere pressure) was studied theoretically and experimentally. Equilibrium compositions of mixtures resulting from reactions, between H₂S and air were calculated for temperatures and O₂/H₂S ratios ranging from 600 to 2000°K and 0.05 to 1, respectively. Forty-four compounds containing nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur were assumed to be present at equilibrium, but only 25 had concentrations exceeding 0.1 ppm. Eleven carbon compounds were later included, but only five of them had. concentrations greater than 0.1 ppm. Sulphur yields in the furnace were found to increase about 10% when O₂/H₂S ratios less than 0.5 (stoichiometric) are used. Feed impurities such as NH₃.(below 1600°K), H₂O and CO₂ diminish the sulphur yields. A computer model was developed to simulate a Claus plant consisting of a furnace and two catalytic converters operating adiabatically. The model showed that the maximum sulphur yields for the plant are obtainable when operating with stoichiometric air. Preheating the furnace feed or recycling part of the furnace products enhances the overall yield only slightly. Enriching the combustion air with pure oxygen causes the sulphur yield to drop since, with N₂ absent, the furnace temperature rises to over 2200°K. Above 1750°K, the sulphur yield falls with temperature. To determine equilibrium compositions experimentally, various mixtures of known H₂S/air ratios were introduced into a quartz vessel located in a furnace and operating between 800 and 1500°K. The contents of this vessel were sampled and analysed by gas chromatography. Experimental measurements for H₂S dissociation were in excellent agreement with Raymont's results and theoretical predictions. Results for H₂S oxidation showed the same trend as the theoretical predictions, but did not agree quantitatively; the experimental sulphur yields exceeded the predicted values by up to 15%. Reasons for these discrepancies are discussed.

description: The leading twist transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) are studied in a light-cone description of the nucleon where the Fock expansion is truncated to consider only valence quarks. General analytic expressions are derived in terms of the six amplitudes needed to describe the three-quark sector of the nucleon light-cone wave function. Numerical calculations for the T-even TMDs are presented in a light-cone constituent quark model, and the role of the so-called pretzelosity is investigated to produce a nonspherical shape of the nucleon.

description: Percolation clusters are random fractals whose geometrical and transport properties can be characterized with the help of probability distribution functions. Using renormalized field theory, we determine the asymptotic form of various of such distribution functions in the limits where certain scaling variables become small or large. Our study includes the pair-connection probability, the distributions of the fractal masses of the backbone, the red bonds and the shortest, the longest and the average self-avoiding walk between any two points on a cluster, as well as the distribution of the total resistance in the random resistor network. Our analysis draws solely on general, structural features of the underlying diagrammatic perturbation theory, and hence our main results are valid to arbitrary loop order.

description: The physical processes behind the transfer of mass from parsec-scale clumps to massive-star-forming cores remain elusive. We investigate the relation between the clump morphology and the mass fraction that ends up in its most massive core (MMC) as a function of infrared brightness, i.e. a clump evolutionary tracer. Using ALMA 12 m and ACA we surveyed 6 infrared-dark hubs in 2.9mm continuum at $\sim$3" resolution. To put our sample into context, we also re-analysed published ALMA data from a sample of 29 high mass-surface density ATLASGAL sources. We characterise the size, mass, morphology, and infrared brightness of the clumps using Herschel and Spitzer data. Within the 6 newly observed hubs, we identify 67 cores, and find that the MMCs have masses between 15-911 $\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$ within a radius of 0.018-0.156 pc. The MMC of each hub contains 3-24% of the clump mass ($f_\mathrm{MMC}$), becoming 5-36% once core masses are normalised to the median core radius. Across the 35 clumps, we find no significant difference in the median $f_\mathrm{MMC}$ values of hub and non-hub systems, likely the consequence of a sample bias. However, we find that $f_\mathrm{MMC}$ is $\sim$7.9 times larger for infrared-dark clumps compared to infrared-bright ones. This factor increases up to $\sim$14.5 when comparing our sample of 6 infrared-dark hubs to infrared-bright clumps. We speculate that hub-filament systems efficiently concentrate mass within their MMC early on during its evolution. As clumps evolve, they grow in mass, but such growth does not lead to the formation of more massive MMCs.

description: The design of a multi-wideband antenna for C and X band applications is presented, utilizing a circular annular ring antenna to achieve a single band and concentric annular rings to achieve dual bands. Additional harmonics are introduced in the higher band to enhance bandwidth by incorporating an elliptical parasitic element and reactive strip element. These processes are analysed using characteristic mode analysis, where significant modes of concentric rings and parasitic elements are excited by a 50-ohm microstrip feed line through full-wave analysis. The proposed antenna is validated using equivalent circuit modelling (ECM) with RLC electrical parameters and compared with EM simulated results. Further validation is achieved through hardware measurement. The bandwidth of the lower band is enhanced by a partial ground with a circular half-cut in the ground plane. The proposed antenna, fabricated on low-cost FR4 material with dimensions 30 × 30 × 1.6 mm³, shows measurement results that closely match simulated results. The antenna achieves a 20% bandwidth at 5 GHz and a 30% bandwidth at 9 GHz at |10 dB| impedance bandwidth, making it suitable for C and X band applications.

In this model, the fusion process is devided into two stages: first, the sticking stage where projectile and target come to the touching point over the Coulomb barrier from infinite distance, and second, the formation stage where the di-nucleus formed with projectile and target evolve to form the spherical compound nucleus from the touching point. By the use of the statistical evaporation model, the residue cross sections for different neutron evaporation channels are analyzed. From the results, optimum reactions are given to synthesize $Z$ = 117 element with $^{48}$Ca induced reactions.

description: Quantum materials harbor a cornucopia of exotic transport phenomena challenging our understanding of condensed matter. Among these, a giant, non-saturating linearmagnetoresistance (MR) has been reported in various systems, from Weyl semi-metals to topological insulators. Its origin is often ascribed to unusual band structure effects but it may also be caused by extrinsic sample disorder. Here, we report a very large linear MR in a SrTiO$_3$ two-dimensional electron gas and, by combining transport measurements with electron spectro-microscopy, show that it is caused by nanoscale inhomogeneities that are self-organized during sample growth. Our data also reveal semi-classical Sondheimer oscillations arising from interferences between helicoidal electron trajectories, from which we determine the 2DEG thickness. Our results bring insight into the origin of linear MR in quantum materials, expand the range of functionalities of oxide 2DEGs and suggest exciting routes to explore the interaction of linear MR with features like Rashba spin-orbit coupling.
Field theory of directed percolation with long-range spreading

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: It is well established that the phase transition between survival and extinction in spreading models with short-range interactions is generically associated with the directed percolation (DP) universality class. In many realistic spreading processes, however, interactions are long ranged and well described by Lévy-flights, i.e., by a probability distribution that decays in $d$ dimensions with distance $r$ as $r^{-d-σ}$. We employ the powerful methods of renormalized field theory to study DP with such long range, Lévy-flight spreading in some depth. Our results unambiguously corroborate earlier findings that there are four renormalization group fixed points corresponding to, respectively, short-range Gaussian, Lévy Gaussian, short-range DP and Lévy DP, and that there are four lines in the $(σ, d)$ plane which separate the stability regions of these fixed points. When the stability line between short-range DP and Lévy DP is crossed, all critical exponents change continuously. We calculate the exponents describing Lévy DP to second order in $ε$-expansion, and we compare our analytical results to the results of existing numerical simulations. Furthermore, we calculate the leading logarithmic corrections for several dynamical observables.

description: We evaluate the fermionic two-loop QCD corrections to the heavy-quark pair production process in the quark-antiquark channel. We obtain analytic results which are valid for any value of the Mandelstam invariants s and t, and of the heavy quark mass m. Our findings confirm previous results for the analytic evaluation in the small-mass limit and numerical results for the exact amplitude. We furthermore provide the expansion of the two-loop amplitude at the production threshold s ~ 4m^2.

description: Recent results of Davidson-Paulsen-Raghupathi-Singh give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem on the unit disk with the additional restriction that the interpolant should have the value of its derivative at the origin equal to zero. This concrete mild generalization of the classical problem is prototypical of a number of other generalized Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problems which have appeared in the literature (for example, on a finitely-connected planar domain or on the polydisk). We extend the results of Davidson-Paulsen-Raghupathi-Singh to the setting where the interpolant is allowed to be matrix-valued and elaborate further on the analogy with the theory of Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation on a finitely-connected planar domain.

Spin Hall and inverse spin galvanic effects in graphene with strong interfacial spin-orbit coupling: a quasi-classical Green's function approach

description: van der Waals heterostructures assembled from atomically thin crystals are ideal model systems to study spin-orbital coupled transport because they exhibit a strong interplay between spin, lattice and valley degrees of freedom that can be manipulated by strain, electric bias and proximity effects. The recently predicted spin-helical regime in graphene on transition metal dichalcogenides, in which spin and pseudospin degrees of freedom are locked together [M. Offidani et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 196801 (2017)], suggests their potential application in spintronics. Here, by deriving an Eilenberger equation for the quasiclassical Green's function of two-dimensional Dirac fermions in the presence of} spin-orbit coupling\textcolor{black}{{} (SOC) and scalar disorder, we obtain analytical expressions for the dc spin galvanic susceptibility and spin Hall conductivity in the spin-helical regime. Our results disclose a sign change in the spin Hall angle (SHA) when the Fermi energy relative to the Dirac point matches the Bychkov-Rashba energy scale, irrespective of the magnitude of the spin-valley interaction imprinted on the graphene layer. The behavior of the SHA is connected to a reversal of the total internal angular momentum of Bloch electrons that reflects the spin-pseudospin entanglement induced by SOC. We also show that the charge-spin conversion reaches a maximum when the Fermi level lies at the edge of the spin-minority band in agreement with previous findings. Both features are fingerprints of spin-helical Dirac fermions and suggest a direct way to estimate the strength of proximity-induced SOC from transport data. The relevance of these findings for interpreting recent spin-charge conversion measurements in nonlocal spin-valve geometry is also discussed.

The Formation and Evolution of Massive Stellar Clusters in IC 4662

description: We present a multiwavelength study of the formation of massive stellar clusters, their emergence from cocoons of gas and dust, and their feedback on surrounding matter. Using data that span from radio to optical wavelengths, including Spitzer and Hubble ACS observations, we examine the population of young star clusters in the central starburst region of the irregular Wolf-Rayet galaxy IC 4662. We model the radio-to-IR spectral energy distributions of embedded clusters to determine the properties of their HII regions and dust cocoons (sizes, masses, densities, temperatures), and use near-IR and optical data with mid-IR spectroscopy to constrain the properties of the embedded clusters themselves (mass, age, extinction, excitation, abundance). The two massive star-formation regions in IC 4662 are excited by stellar populations with ages of ~ 4 million years and masses of ~ 3 x 10^5 M_sun (assuming a Kroupa IMF). They have high excitation and sub-solar abundances, and they may actually be comprised of several massive clusters rather than the single monolithic massive compact objects known as Super Star Clusters (SSCs). Mid-IR spectra reveal that these clusters have very high extinctions, A_V ~ 20-25 mag, and that the dust in IC 4662 is well-mixed with the emitting gas, not in a foreground screen.

description: This document presents a comprehensive set of interview questions designed for research on ethnic Chinese community organisers and civic actors in Australia. The questions are structured to explore various aspects of Chinese community organisations, including individual motivations, organisational characteristics, networks, and historical changes. By addressing these diverse topics, the interview guide aims to provide a holistic understanding of the Chinese community's civic engagement and organisational landscape in Australia.The interview questions are divided into four main sections: motivations and experiences of organisational involvement, organisational characteristics, intra/inter-organisational networks, and changes and continuities. This structure allows researchers to systematically explore the personal journeys of community organisers, the inner workings of their organisations, the complex web of relationships between various stakeholders, and the evolution of Chinese community organisations over time.These questions aim to gather in-depth information on personal backgrounds and motivations of community organisers, their roles and experiences within Chinese community organisations, and the impact of their involvement on their personal and professional lives. The guide also delves into organisational structures, activities, and cultures, providing insights into the operational aspects of these community groups. Additionally, it explores networking and relationships with other organisations and government bodies, shedding light on the broader ecosystem in which these organisations operate.

description: Liquids in contact with solids are submitted to intermolecular forces making liquids heterogeneous and stress tensors are not any more spherical as in homogeneous bulks. The aim of this article is to show that a square-gradient functional representing liquid-vapor interface free energy corrected with a liquid density functional at solid surfaces is a well adapted model to study structures of very thin nanofilms near solid walls. This result makes it possible to study the motions of liquids in nanolayers and to generalize the approximation of lubrication in long wave hypothesis.

Plume dispersion and monitor network design
Creators: name: Rowat, David Whitborne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Steady-state Gaussian binomial equations are widely used for predicting the dispersion and ground-level concentrations of pollutants emitted from stacks. The equations do not account for varying emissions and meteorological conditions. A pseudo-steady-state model was therefore developed by introducing a propagation time factor into the Gaussian equations. The model was subsequently used to simulate pollutant dispersion in regions with up to four different stacks and with different meteorological conditions. Optimum sites for monitoring ground-level concentrations were selected by maximizing the frequency of measurable concentrations or identifying locations of maximum concentrations. The selection was performed by means of a FORTRAN computer program which can be readily modified to meet different requirements. The program also calculates the conversion rate, i.e. the frequency of time for which the monitors acquires sufficient data to enable determination of pollutant emission rates from the stacks. The program was tested for fifteen different idealized situations and it was also applied to a practical monitor siting problem. The program performed satisfactorily and the results of the various test cases are reported.

description: Many nonequilibrium systems, such as biochemical reactions and socioeconomic interactions, can be described by reaction-diffusion equations that demonstrate a wide variety of complex spatiotemporal patterns. The diversity of the morphology of these patterns makes it difficult to classify them quantitatively and they are often described visually. Hence, searching through a large parameter space for patterns is a tedious manual task. We discuss how convolutional neural networks can be used to scan the parameter space, investigate existing patterns in more detail, and aid in finding new groups of patterns. As an example, we consider the Gray-Scott model for which training data is easy to obtain. Due to the popularity of machine learning in many scientific fields, well maintained open source toolkits are available that make it easy to implement the methods we discuss in advanced undergraduate and graduate computational physics projects.
