Green mines green energy : establishing productive land on mine tailings

Year: 2009

description: The CANMET Mining and Mineral Sciences Laboratories (CANMET-MMSL) of Natural Resources Canada, Ottawa, has established a consortium initiative entitled “Green Mines Green Energy”. The consortium is composed of representatives from mining, forestry, government, academia and the private sector. The goal is to expand the practice of mine reclamation by furthering the use of organic residuals for the rehabilitation of mine sites - to the extent that they can be used to establish feedstock for the production of biofuels. There is increasing pressure on industry and municipalities to divert clean organic waste materials from landfill and to establish productive uses for them. In many areas of Canada, these materials (particularly municipal SSO compost) are in reasonably close proximity to mines, and may offer a relatively stable, long term, beneficial disposal strategy. Laboratory studies are underway to investigate the potential impact of these materials on tailings oxidation and effluent chemistry, as well as the effect of biosolids/compost-derived dissolved organic carbon on effluent treatability and toxicity. The construction of several half-hectare field plots began on mine sites in 2008. This paper provides an overview of the Green Mines Green Energy initiative and a summary of laboratory and field testing undertaken to date. Overall, preliminary results from the column study suggest that sulphate reduction at the tailings – biosolids interface is occurring, and that steady state has not yet been reached after more than 1 year of testing. Furthermore, the addition DOC has had no significant effect on effluent treatability or toxicity.
Identifying the $Ξ_{b}(6227)$ and $Σ_{b}(6097)$ as $P$-wave bottom baryons of $J^P = 3/2^-$

description: We use the method of QCD sum rules within the framework of heavy quark effective theory to study the mass spectrum of the $Σ_{b}(6097)^{\pm}$ and $Ξ_{b}(6227)^{-}$, and use the method of light-cone sum rules still within the heavy quark effective theory to study their decay properties. Our results suggest that they can be well interpreted as $P$-wave bottom baryons with the spin-parity $J^P = 3/2^-$. They belong to the baryon doublet $[\mathbf{6}_F, 2, 1, λ]$, where the total and spin angular momenta of the light degree of freedom are $j_l = 2$ and $s_l = 1$, and the orbital angular momentum is between the bottom quark and the two-light-quark system ($λ$-type). This doublet contains six bottom baryons, and we predict masses (mass differences) and decay widths of the other four states to be $M_{Ω_b(3/2^-)} = 6.46 \pm 0.12 {~\rm GeV}$, $Γ_{Ω_b(3/2^-)} = 58{^{+65}_{-33}} {~\rm MeV}$, $M_{Σ_b(5/2^-)}-M_{Σ_b(3/2^-)}= 13 \pm 5 {~\rm MeV}$, $M_{Ξ_b^{\prime}(5/2^-)}-M_{Ξ_b^{\prime}(3/2^-)} = 12 \pm 5 {~\rm MeV}$, and $M_{Ω_b(5/2^-)}-M_{Ω_b(3/2^-)} = 11 \pm 5 {~\rm MeV}$. We propose to search for them in further LHCb experiments.

description: We study the $J/ψ\rightarrow K^+ K^- f_0(980)(a_0(980))$ reaction and find that the mechanism to produce this decay develops a triangle singularity around $M_{\rm inv}(K^- f_0/K^- a_0) \approx 1515$~MeV. The differential width $dΓ/ dM_{\rm inv}(K^- f_0/K^- a_0)$ shows a rapid growth around the invariant mass being 1515~MeV as a consequence of the triangle singularity of this mechanism, which is directly tied to the nature of the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ as dynamically generated resonances from the interaction of pseudoscalar mesons. The branching ratios obtained for the $J/ψ\rightarrow K^+ K^- f_0(980)(a_0(980))$ decays are of the order of $10^{-5}$, accessible in present facilities, and we argue that their observation should provide relevant information concerning the nature of the low-lying scalar mesons.

description: The dissertation focuses on how to best represent the consensus and attitude dynamic of a group given the attitudes of its individuals. This is done in the Bayesian epistemology framework using pooling with imprecise probabilities, and in utility theory extending Harsanyi's aggregation theorem to characterize other directed attitudes like spite and altruism. The final part of the dissertation considers attitudes within social networks and provides explanations and simulation models for online segregation and tribalism as well as the spread of rumors through contagion. The dissertation hopes to contribute to foundational issues like that of epistemic consensus, but also to new emerging phenomena in social epistemology.

Learning in clustered spiking networks
Creators: name: Maes, Amadeus
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Neurons spike on a millisecond time scale while behaviour typically spans hundreds of milliseconds to seconds and longer. Neurons have to bridge this time gap when computing and learning behaviours of interest. Recent computational work has shown that neural circuits can bridge this time gap when connected in specific ways. Moreover, the connectivity patterns can develop using plasticity rules typically considered to be biologically plausible. In this thesis, we focus on one type of connectivity where excitatory neurons are grouped in clusters. Strong recurrent connectivity within the clusters reverberates the activity and prolongs the time scales in the network. This way, the clusters of neurons become the basic functional units of the circuit, in line with an increasing number of experimental studies. We study a general architecture where plastic synapses connect the clustered network to a read-out network. We demonstrate the usefulness of this architecture for two different problems: 1) learning and replaying sequences; 2) learning statistical structure. The time scales in both problems range from hundreds of milliseconds to seconds and we address the problems through simulation and analysis of spiking networks. We show that the clustered organization circumvents the need for non-bio-plausible mathematical optimizations and instead allows the use of unsupervised spike-timing-dependent plasticity rules. Additionally, we make qualitative links to experimental findings and predictions for both problems studied. Finally, we speculate about future directions that could extend upon our findings.

description: The aim of this study is to examine argumentative writing produced by students of differing language backgrounds and skill level to inform future instructional approaches and program design. An archival corpus of opinion essays written by native Spanish speaking students and native English speaking students enrolled in community college developmental education courses was utilized. The essays consisted of one to two paragraphs expressing an opinion on a controversial topic. In the study, the essays were assessed for the overall persuasiveness of the text, the use of academic words, the incorporation of connectives as a measure of lexical cohesion, the use of argumentative structural elements, and the inclusion of functional elements within the text produced. The relationship between native language and six structural and lexical features were examined utilizing a one-way Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA). After controlling for paragraph length and reading ability, results indicated that native Spanish speaking students produced more standpoint structural elements than English speaking students. None of the other dependent variables were significant. A Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) was employed to explore the variability in the persuasiveness of the opinion writing. Utilizing this mode of analysis, it was revealed that overall persuasiveness in the students’ opinion writing was mainly a function of higher word counts, a higher percentage of academic words, more standpoint structural elements, and being a native English speaking student. Finally, pedagogical implications are discussed.

description: We consider the tensor formulation of the non-linear O(2) sigma model and its gauged version (the compact Abelian Higgs model), on a $D$-dimensional cubic lattice, and show that tensorial truncations are compatible with the general identities derived from the symmetries of these models. This means that the universal properties of these models can be reproduced with highly simplified formulations desirable for implementations with quantum computers or for quantum simulations experiments. We briefly discuss the extensions to non-Abelian symmetries and models with fermions.

Our results are compatible with two-band superconductivity, the band carrying the small gap being isotropic, that carrying the large gap having an anisotropy of ~ 5. Three different upper critical fields are thus needed to describe the superconducting state of MgB2.

description: The HPC community is actively researching and evaluating tools to support execution of scientific applications in cloud-based environments. Among the various technologies, containers have recently gained importance as they have significantly better performance compared to full-scale virtualization, support for microservices and DevOps, and work seamlessly with workflow and orchestration tools. Docker is currently the leader in containerization technology because it offers low overhead, flexibility, portability of applications, and reproducibility. Singularity is another container solution that is of interest as it is designed specifically for scientific applications. It is important to conduct performance and feature analysis of the container technologies to understand their applicability for each application and target execution environment.
This paper presents a (1) performance evaluation of Docker and Singularity on bare metal nodes in the Chameleon cloud (2) mechanism by which Docker containers can be mapped with InfiniBand hardware with RDMA communication and (3) analysis of mapping elements of parallel workloads to the containers for optimal resource management with container-ready orchestration tools.
Our experiments are targeted toward application developers so that they can make informed decisions on choosing the container technologies and approaches that are suitable for their HPC workloads on cloud infrastructure. Our performance analysis shows that scientific workloads for both Docker and Singularity based containers can achieve near-native performance.
Singularity is designed specifically for HPC workloads. However, Docker still has advantages over Singularity for use in clouds as it provides overlay networking and an intuitive way to run MPI applications with one container per rank for fine-grained resources allocation. Both Docker and Singularity make it possible to directly use the underlying network fabric from the containers for coarse-grained resource allocation.
Optical Characterization of Charge Transfer Excitons in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Heterostructures

description: Two-dimensional materials such as graphene, boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted significant research interest due to their unique optoelectronic properties. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a family of two-dimensional semiconductors which exhibit strong light-matter interaction and show great promise for applications ranging from more efficient LEDs to quantum computing. One of the most intriguing qualities of TMDCs is their ability to be stacked on top of one another to tailor devices with specific properties and exploit interlayer phenomena to develop new characteristics. One such interlayer interaction is the generation of charge transfer excitons which span the interface between two different TMDC monolayers. This work aims to study the intrinsic optical properties of charge transfer excitons in TMDC heterostructures. We must first start by investigating methods to protect and isolate our sample of interest from its chemical and electrostatic environment. We demonstrate that near intrinsic photoluminescence (PL) linewidth and exciton emission homogeneity from monolayer TMDCs can be achieved using a combination of BN encapsulation and passivation of substrate hydroxyl groups. Next, we develop clean stacking techniques and incorporate low defect density source crystals to maintain intrinsic properties and ensure a sufficiently high quality heterostructure interface to study characteristics of charge transfer excitons in 2D TDMCs. Strong photoluminescence emission from charge transfer excitons is realized and is shown to persist to room temperature. Charge transfer exciton lifetime is measured to be two orders of magnitude longer than previously reported. Using these high quality heterostructures, we study the behavior of charge transfer excitons under high excitation density. We observe the dissociation of charge transfer excitons into spatially separated electron-hole plasmas under optical excitation. We then probe properties of charge transfer exciton emission enhancement due resonant coupling to surface plasmon modes of gold nanorods.

Mathematical models to evaluate the impact of increasing serotype coverage in pneumococcal conjugate vaccines
Creators: name: Løchen, Alessandra
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Of over 100 serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae, only 7 were included in the first pneumo- coccal conjugate vaccine (PCV). While PCV reduced the disease incidence, in part because of a herd immunity effect, a replacement effect was observed whereby disease was increasingly caused by serotypes not included in the vaccine. Dynamic transmission models can account for these effects to describe post-vaccination scenarios, whereas economic evaluations can enable decision-makers to compare vaccines of increasing valency for implementation. This thesis has four aims. First, to explore the limitations and assumptions of published pneu- mococcal models and the implications for future vaccine formulation and policy. Second, to conduct a trend analysis assembling all the available evidence for serotype replacement in Europe, North America and Australia to characterise invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) caused by vaccine-type (VT) and non-vaccine-types (NVT) serotypes. The motivation behind this is to assess the patterns of relative abundance in IPD cases pre- and post-vaccination, to examine country-level differences in relation to the vaccines employed over time since introduction, and to assess the growth of the replacement serotypes in comparison with the serotypes targeted by the vaccine. The third aim is to use a Bayesian framework to estimate serotype-specific invasiveness, i.e. the rate of invasive disease given carriage. This is useful for dynamic transmission modelling, as transmission is through carriage but a majority of serotype-specific pneumococcal data lies in active disease surveillance. This is also helpful to address whether serotype replacement reflects serotypes that are more invasive or whether serotypes in a specific location are equally more invasive than in other locations. Finally, the last aim of this thesis is to estimate the epidemiological and economic impact of increas- ing serotype coverage in PCVs using a dynamic transmission model. Together, the results highlight that though there are key parameter uncertainties that merit further exploration, divergence in serotype replacement and inconsistencies in invasiveness on a country-level may make a universal PCV suboptimal.

description: The Geroch group, isomorphic to the SL(2,R) affine Kac-Moody group, is an infinite dimensional solution generating group of Einstein's equations with two surface orthogonal commuting Killing vectors. We introduce another solution generating group for these equations, the dressing group, and discuss its connection with the Geroch group. We show that it acts transitively on a dense subset of moduli space. We use a new Lax pair expressing a twisted self-duality of this system and we study the dressing problem associated to it. We also describe how to use vertex operators to solve the reduced Einstein's equations. In particular this allows to find solutions by purely algebraic computations.

The astronomical orientation of the San Galgano Abbey
Creators: name: Sparavigna, Amelia Carolina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019
Subjects: Archaeoastronomy

description: San Galgano Abbey is a Cistercian abbey in Tuscany, a few kilometres from Siena. The building of its great church started in 1218. Here we show that the direction of the nave was that of the rising of the sun and of the full moon on 14 March 1218 (Julian Calendar). Probably, it was this rare astronomical event that determined the direction of the future church.
New Li--Yau--Hamilton Inequalities for the Ricci Flow via the Space-time Approach

description: We generalize Hamilton's matrix Li-Yau-type Harnack estimate for the Ricci flow by considering the space of all LYH (Li-Yau-Hamilton) quadratics that arise as curvature tensors of space-time connections satisfying the Ricci flow with respect to the natural space-time degenerate metric. As a special case, we employ scaling arguments to derive a linear-type matrix LYH estimate. The new LYH quadratics obtained in this way are associated to the system of the Ricci flow coupled to a 1-form and a 2-form evolving by heat-type equations. In the case of a Kaehler solution, a special case of our linear-type trace LYH estimate is weaker than but qualitatively equivalent to Hamilton's trace estimate.
description: This revision mostly makes changes in terminology to match the published version of the paper. In particular, we now call our estimates `Li--Yau--Hamilton inequalities'. (51 pages)

Mount Washington mine remediation to support recovery of the fish stocks in the Tsolum River
Creators: name: Healey, Peter
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: On April 14, 2008, British Columbia Environment Minister Barry Penner and Minister of State for Mining Kevin Krueger announced a $4.5-million remediation of the abandoned Mount Washington open pit copper mine in an effort to support the recovery of Vancouver Island fish stocks. The mine remediation will take place in three phases, between 2008 and 2010. The project will include the installation of a bituminous geomembrane that will cover the entire site. This will be covered by a one metre thick glacial till layer, which will be planted with vegetation to stabilize and protect the material from the elements. The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources will lead the remediation. Historically, the Tsolum River had large salmon runs. Since that time, several factors are believed to have affected the river and its aquatic life, reducing the salmon runs. While these factors include development and logging along the banks of the Tsolum, the dominant impact has been copper leaching from the abandoned mining operation from the mid-sixties. The old copper mine started up in 1964 and extracted ore for less than two years. It milled the ore for just a few months longer, shutting down after the mining company went bankrupt in 1967.
Time-reversal symmetry breaking superconductivity in hole-doped monolayer MoS$_{2}$

description: We investigate the nature of the time-reversal breaking pairing state in the hole-doped monolayer MoS$_{2}$ on the basis of the realistic three-orbital attractive Hubbard-like model with the atomic spin-orbit coupling. Due to the multi-band features arising from the Mo $d$ orbitals in the noncentrosymmetric crystal structure, the Lifshitz transition takes place upon hole doping. Across the Lifshitz transition point, the sign of the relative phase between the Cooper-pair components drastically changes, leading to the emergence of the time-reversal breaking phase with complex gap functions. It is shown that this intriguing pairing state is characterized by the finite momentum-space distributions of the orbital and spin angular momentum with three-fold rotational symmetry on the Fermi-surface pockets around K and K$'$ points. The present mechanism for the time-reversal breaking superconductivity can ubiquitously be applied to spin-orbit-coupled metals in noncentrosymmetric crystal structures.

description: We investigate the homogeneous linewidth of localized type-I excitons in type-II GaAs/AlAs superlattices. These localizing centers represent the intermediate case between quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) and quasi-zero-dimensional localizations. The temperature dependence of the homogeneous linewidth is obtained with high precision from micro-photoluminescence spectra. We confirm the reduced interaction of the excitons with their environment with decreasing dimensionality except for the coupling to LO-phonons. The low-temperature limit for the linewidth of these localized excitons is five times smaller than that of Q2D excitons. The coefficient of exciton-acoustic-phonon interaction is 5 ~ 6 times smaller than that of Q2D excitons. An enhancement of the average exciton-LO-phonon interaction by localization is found in our sample. But this interaction is very sensitive to the detailed structure of the localizing centers.

Optical Characterization of chemically doped and/or intercalated thin layers graphene: Raman and Contrast Study

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Chemistry
Chemistry, Physical and theoretical

description: This thesis describes the Raman and Contrast change in chemically doped and/or intercalated thin layers of graphene with halogen gases, FeCl3 and alkali metals. The first chapter introduces graphene and graphite intercalation compounds (GICs). It will also briefly explain Raman of the graphitic compounds including GICs. The second chapter presents doping status of halogen molecules doped graphene. The Raman spectra of the graphene G peak as a function of different number of layers implies the doping structure of few layers graphene. The adsorption-induced electric potential difference between surface and interior layers implies that a band gap opens in the bilayer type bands of I2 doped 3 L and 4 L. The third chapter investigates graphene enhanced raman signal of halogen molecules adsorbed onto and intercalated into graphene. We analyze and model the intramolecular electronic, charge transfer, and multiple reflection electromagnetic mechanisms responsible for the unusual sensitivity. We attribute the large Raman signal from both adsorbed iodine and intercalated bromine species to intramolecular electronic resonance enhancement. The signal evolution with varying graphene thickness is explained by multiple reflection electromagnetic calculations. The fourth chapter explains how the graphene to adjacent graphene layers decouple by expanding lattice distance with insertion of FeCl3 intercalants. Raman measurement proves that adsorbed FeCl3 can easily be washed off by acetone while intercalated FeCl3 is relatively intact by impermeable graphene layers. The fifth chapter considers alkali metal intercalated few layers graphene. We try to understand how the extreme electronic properties of alkali doped bulk graphite develops in few layer thick intercalated graphenes, as a function of the number of layers, starting from a single graphene layer with adsorbed alkali atoms to several graphene layers intercalated with alkali metals. We study both optical reflectivity and Raman scattering, as they reveal different aspects of the electronic structure of peculiar graphene intercalation compounds characters.

description: We present the first fully relativistic study of gravitational radiation from bodies in circular equatorial orbits around the massive black hole at the Galactic Center, Sgr A* and we assess the detectability of various kinds of objects by the gravitational wave detector LISA. Our computations are based on the theory of perturbations of the Kerr spacetime and take into account the Roche limit induced by tidal forces in the Kerr metric. The signal-to-noise ratio in the LISA detector, as well as the time spent in LISA band, are evaluated. We have implemented all the computational tools in an open-source SageMath package, within the Black Hole Perturbation Toolkit framework. We find that white dwarfs, neutrons stars, stellar black holes, primordial black holes of mass larger than $10^{-4} M_\odot$, main-sequence stars of mass lower than $\sim 2.5\, M_\odot$ and brown dwarfs orbiting Sgr A* are all detectable in one year of LISA data with a signal-to-noise ratio above 10 during at least $10^5$ years in the slow inspiral towards either the innermost stable circular orbit (compact objects) or the Roche limit (main-sequence stars and brown dwarfs). The longest times in-band, of the order of $10^6$ years, are achieved for primordial black holes of mass $\sim 10^{-3} M_\odot$ down to $10^{-5} M_\odot$, depending on the spin of Sgr A*, as well as for brown dwarfs, just followed by white dwarfs and low mass main-sequence stars. The long time in-band of these objects makes Sgr A* a valuable target for LISA. We also consider bodies on close circular orbits around the massive black hole in the nucleus of the nearby galaxy M32 and find that, among them, compact objects and brown dwarfs stay for $10^3$ to $10^4$ years in LISA band with a 1-year signal-to-noise ratio above 10.
