description: With rising temperatures, Alberta’s glaciers are under stresses which alter the timing, amount, and composition of meltwater contributions to rivers flowing from the Rocky Mountains. This study took place on Haig Glacier, located at the headwaters of Kananaskis River, feeding into the Bow River downstream. Hydrochemical analyses were used to partition the runoff into supra and sub-glacial fractions. This study found that at Haig Glacier, water isotopes are not useful for partitioning glacial runoff, and that basal runoff is best identified by sulphate from the bedrock. The basal portion in bulk runoff increased from 5.5% in early July to 10.5% in late August. This study improves knowledge of the glacier’s internal hydrologic pathways and processes during the melt season, as well as the chemical signature of glacier meltwater in the Canadian Rockies, which will serve as a contribution to basin-scale studies in the future.

description: In various chemical systems enthalpy-entropy compensation (EEC) is a well-known rule of behavior, although the physical roots of it are still not completely understood. It has been frequently questioned whether EEC is a truly physical phenomenon or a coincidence due to trivial mathematical connections between statistical-mechanical parameters - or even simpler: A phantom effect resulting from the misinterpretation of experimental data. Here, we review EEC from a new standpoint using the notion of correlation which is essential for the method of factor analysis, but is not conventional in physics and chemistry. We conclude that the EEC may be rationalized in terms of hidden (not directly measurable with the help of the current experimental set-up) but physically real factors, implying a Carnot-cycle model in which a micro-phase transition (MPT) plays a crucial role. Examples of such MPTs underlying physically valid EEC should be typically cooperative processes in supramolecular aggregates, like changes of structured water at hydrophobic surfaces, conformational transitions upon ligand-biopolymer binding, and so on, so forth. The MPT notion could help rationalize the occurrence of EEC in connection with hydration and folding of proteins,enzymatic reactions, functioning of molecular motors, DNA de- and rehybridization, as well as similar phenomena.

description: Recently the ATLAS and CMS collaborations presented preliminary results of Standard Model Higgs searches and reported excesses of events for a Higgs boson at 124-126 GeV. Such a Higgs mass can be naturally realized, simultaneously explaining the muon g-2 anomaly, in gauge-mediated SUSY breaking models with extra vector-like matters. Upper bounds are obtained on the gluino mass, m_{\tilde g}\lesssim 1.2 (1.8) TeV, and on the extra vector-like quark mass, M_{Q'} \lesssim 1.0 (1.8) GeV, in the parameter region where the Higgs boson mass is 124-126 GeV and the muon g-2 is consistent with the experimental value at the 1 sigma (2 sigma) level. The LHC prospects are explored in the parameter region. It is found that some of the regions are already excluded by the LHC, and most of the parameter space is expected to be covered at \sqrt{s} = 14 TeV. A study on the extra vector-like quarks, especially current bounds on their masses and prospects for future searches, is also included.

Essays on regime switching models in finance
Creators: name: Miao, Hong
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2008

description: Bibliography: p. 111-117
description: This dissertation consists of four essays focusing on applications of regime switching models in finance. The first essay discusses the investment timing problem in a regime switching framework. We consider a firm facing a future real investment opportunity whose investment cost depends on economic situations. Our approach considers the investment timing as a perpetual American option when the strike price switches between two possible values depending on the economic situations. It gives better optimal investment policy than the widely used standard real option method. The second essay extends the general equilibrium pricing model into an economy with two "states". Based on assumptions of a CRRA utility function, we have derived a partial differential equation satisfied by the representative agent's cost function. A form of the solution of the partial differential equation has been given in general equilibrium with intermediate consumption. In the case when the representative agent does not have intennediate consumption, we have found an explicit solution of the cost function. A closed-form expression for the riskless rate has been derived. We have also provided a partial differential equation satisfied by any contingent claim written on any risky asset in the market. The stochastic discount factor has been investigated in our framework. Based on the stochastic discount factor, we have suggested an explanation for the equity premium puzzle. The third essay studies a stochastic volatility model in a regime switching world. We have derived closed fonn expressions for all the parameters by using the filtering techniques. The fourth essay provides a new approach for computing value at risk and expected shortfall in a regime switching economy. Based on the Student-t distribution assumption, we have suggested an approach to evaluate value at risk and expected shortfall. We use the Student-t distribution to capture the fat-tail phenomenon and regime switching to model the volatility clustering. Closed form expressions for computing value at risk and expected shortfall for both a single asset and a portfolio are proposed. The approach is easy to apply.

description: MADS-box transcription factors play crucial roles in regulating development processes and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in eukaryotes. However, the role of MADS-box transcription factors vary among fungal species, and their function remains unclear in the medicinally and economically important fungus Ganoderma lucidum. In this study, we characterized a MADS-box gene, GlMADS1, in G. lucidum. Analyses using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) showed that GlMADS1 expression levels were up-regulated from the mycelia to the primordia stage. In order to further evaluate the effect of MADS-box transcription factors on secondary metabolism, we utilized RNA interference (RNAi) to silence GlMADS1 in G. lucidum. Ganoderic acid (GA) and flavonoid contents were enhanced in GlMADS1-silenced strains, suggesting that GlMADS1 negatively regulates GA and flavonoid accumulation.

description: Most of PNe are not spherical. The loss of spherical symmetry occurs somewhere between the AGB and PN phase. The cause of this change of morphology is not yet well known, but magnetic fields are one of the possible agents. Its origin remains to be determined, and potentially requires the presence of a massive companion to the AGB star. Therefore, further detections of the magnetic field around evolved stars (in particular those thought to be part of a binary system) are crucial to improve our understanding of the origin and role of magnetism on evolved stars. One such binaries is the pre-PN OH231.8, around which a magnetic field was detected in the OH maser region of the outer circumstellar envelope. We aim to detect and infer the properties of the magnetic field of this source in the water maser region. We observed the 6_{1,6}-5_{2,3} water maser rotational transition to determine its linear and circular polarization. These emissions are located within the inner regions of OH231.8 (at few tens of AU). We detected 30 water maser features, which occur in two distinct regions that are moving apart with a velocity on the sky of 2.3 mas/year. Taking into account the inclination angle of the source, this corresponds to an average separation velocity of 21 km/s. Based on the velocity gradient of the maser emission, the masers appear to be dragged along the direction of the nebula jet. Linear polarization is present in 3 of the features, and circular polarization was detected in the 2 brightest ones. We found that the strength of the magnetic field is |B_{||}|~45 mG which, when assuming a toroidal magnetic field, implies B~2.5 G on the stellar surface. The morphology of the field is not yet determined, but the high scatter found on the directions of the linear polarization vectors could indicate that the masers occur near the tangent points of a toroidal field.

Gamma-ray Lines in the Fermi Data: is it a Bubble?

description: Recently, tentative evidence for an excess of gamma rays at energies around 130 GeV has been reported from analyses of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). The excess is potentially of great interest, as it could be associated with the pair-annihilation of Galactic dark matter and the subsequent production of monochromatic or internal bremsstrahlung gamma rays. The 130 GeV excess appears when an optimized selection of the target region of interest is employed, a procedure that depends upon the assumed dark matter density profile. For the profiles producing an appreciable signal, these target regions vastly overlap with the region corresponding to the so-called "Fermi bubbles". We argue that the tentative evidence for a line feature is likely due to hard photons in the Fermi bubbles regions, where the gamma-ray spectrum contains a spectral break in the energy range of interest (100-150 GeV). Although the origin of this broken power-law is unclear, it is probably related to standard astrophysical processes and not to dark matter annihilation. A broken power-law provides as good a fit as a line "excess", even within small energy windows, and a significantly better fit for large energy windows.

description: My work emerged out of my taking an opportunity, after 15 years of teaching secondary school, to think in depth about my life and practice. As teachers, we are used to gathering elements from all around us to make up the ideas, methods, and materials with which we teach. The creation of this thesis has come about in much the same way. Rather than strict adherence to a single methodology, or voice, I have pulled from a host of tools. A/r/tography (Irwin, Stephenson, Robertson, & Reynolds, 2001), reflective practice, poetic inquiry, and creative nonfiction are all terms that fit this work. Instead of a singular adherence to one theory or practice, I have employed a process that exists in and among the spaces between the roles of artist, researcher, and teacher. Much of my process has been unstructured and nonsystematic. I have created, researched, and reflected in the midst of the moments, as life is lived. I have been developing, as I have gone along, appreciation for those elements that bring meaning to my work and to my life at this time. Through this work I have found inspiration and the capacity to continue teaching with enthusiasm and heart. Telling our stories holds keys to living with sensitivity, compassion, and vision in a world that so very much needs all three.
Constraint-based Text Generation Using Local Constraints and Argumentation to Generate a Turn in Conversation
Creators: name: Elhadad, Michael
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1990
Subjects: Computer science

description: In this paper, I present a natural language generation system aimed at constructing a turn within an ongoing conversation. Three main points are advanced: (1) previous discourse determines the production of a new turn; this paper describes techniques to take the influence of previous discourse into account when generating text. (2) the connection between previous discourse and a new turn is described as the interaction between five local constraints; local constraints are viewed as relations between one discourse segment of the previous discourse and the new turn. (3) argumentation is one class of local constraints which has important effects on the form of the language produced and interacts closely with the other types of local constraints used in this work. The approach is applied to the implementation of an explanation module for the ADVISOR expert system.

description: During this era of new drug designing, medicinal plants had become a very interesting object of further research. Pharmacology screening of active compound of medicinal plants would be time consuming and costly. Molecular docking is one of the in silico method which is more efficient compare to in vitro or in vivo method for its capability of finding the active compound in medicinal plants. In this method, three-dimensional structure becomes very important in the molecular docking methods, so we need a database that provides information on three-dimensional structures of chemical compounds from medicinal plants in Indonesia. Therefore, this study will prepare a database which provides information of the three dimensional structures of chemical compounds of medicinal plants. The database will be prepared by using MySQL format and is designed to be placed in http://herbaldb.farmasi.ui.ac.id website so that eventually this database can be accessed quickly and easily by users via the Internet.

description: We present a microrobotic system for protein crystal micromanipulation tasks. The focus in this report is on a task called streak seeding, which is used by crystallographers to entice certain protein crystals to grow. Our system features a set of custom designed micropositioner end-effectors we call microshovels to replace traditional tools used by crystallographers for this task. We have used micro-electrical mechanical system (MEMS) techniques to design and manufacture various shapes and quantities of microshovels. Visual feedback from a camera mounted on the microscope is used to control the micropositioner as it lowers a microshovel into the liquid containing the crystals for poking and streaking. We present experimental results that illustrate the applicability of our approach.

Transitional dynamics of a phase qubit-resonator system: requirements for fast readout of a phase qubit

description: We examine the non-stationary evolution of a coupled qubit-transmission line-resonator system coupled to an external drive and the resonator environment. By solving the equation for a non-stationary resonator field, we determined the requirements for a single-shot non-destructive dispersive measurement of the phase qubit state. Reliable isolation of the qubit from the "electromagnetic environment" is necessary for a dispersive readout and can be achieved if the whole system interacts with the external fields only through the resonator that is weakly coupled to the qubit. A set of inequalities involving resonator-qubit detuning and coupling parameter, the resonator leakage and the measurement time, together with the requirement of multi-photon outgoing flux is derived. It is shown, in particular, that a decrease of the measurement time requires an increase of the resonator leakage. This increase results in reducing the quality factor and decreasing the resolution of the resonator eigenfrequencies corresponding to different qubit states. The consistent character of the derived inequalities for two sets of experimental parameters is discussed. The obtained results will be useful for optimal design of experimental setups, parameters, and measurement protocols.

On the Complexity of Constrained Distance Transforms and Digital Distance Map Updates in Two Dimensions
Creators: name: Boult, Terrance E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1989
Subjects: Computer science

description: Using digital distance maps, one can easily solve the shortest path problem from any point by simply following the gradient of the distance map. Other researchers have developed techniques to quickly compute such maps. One such technique, the constrained distance transform, is described and a computational complexity analysis is presented. Unfortunately, algorithms for digital distance maps have all assumed a static environment. This paper extends the usefulness of the planar digital distance maps by providing an efficient means for dealing with obstacles in motion. In particular, an algorithm is presented that allows one to compute what portions of a map will probably be effected by an obstacle's motion. The regions that must be checked for possible update when an obstacle moves are those that are in its "shadow", or in the shadow of obstacles that are partially in the shadow of the moving obstacle. The technique can handle multiple fixed goals, multiple obstacles moving and interacting in an arbitrary fashion. A complexity analysis and short verification is presented. The algorithm is demonstrated on a number of synthetic two dimensional examples, and example timing results are reported.

description: This thesis investigates the historical trajectory of the dominant Ecuadorian narrative of its territorial conflict with Peru. Through qualitative discourse analysis of monographs, pamphlets, and textbooks dedicated to the long conflict, it shows the development of a discussion with its own consistency and internal logic, a discourse in the Foucauldian sense. Above all, this discourse possessed a nation-building logic in which Peru was depicted as its main existential threat and nemesis. Thanks to this discourse, the long and complex territorial dispute became a means to achieve and strengthen national cohesion, and to strengthen the idea of Ecuadorian nation. Given that the political, cultural, and economic rapprochement that Ecuador and Peru experienced after the final peace settlement of 1998 contributed to a decades-long radical reformulation of the idea of Ecuadorian national community, this thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of Ecuadorian nationalism by analyzing one of its key aspects in relation to the country’s territory and an external other.

description: We investigate qubit lasing in the strong coupling limit. The qubit is given by a Cooper-pair box, and population inversion is established by an additional third state, which can be addressed via quasiparticle tunneling. The coupling strength between oscillator and qubit is assumed to be much higher than the quasiparticle tunneling rate. We find that the photon number distribution is sub-Poissonian in this strong coupling limit.

Improving Production System Performance on Parallel Architectures by Creating Constrained Copies of Rules
Creators: name: Pasik, Alexander J.
name: Stolfo, Salvatore
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1987
Subjects: Computer science

description: Production systems have pessimistically been hypothesized to contain only minimal amounts of parallelism [Gupta 1984]. However, techniques are being investigated to extract more parallelism from existing systems. Among these methods, it is desirable to find those which balance the work being performed in parallel evenly among the rules, while at the same time decrease the amount of work which must be performed sequentially in each cycle. The technique of creating constrained copies of culprit rules accomplishes both of the above goals. Production systems are plagued by occasional rules which slow down the entire execution. These rules require much more processing than others and thus cause other processors to idle while the culprit rules continue to match. By creating the constrained copies and distributing them to their own processors, each performs less work while others are busy, yielding increased parallelism, improved load balancing, and less work overall per cycle.

DIAL: DIagrammatic Animation Language Tutorial and Reference Manual
Creators: name: Feiner, Steven K.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1987
Subjects: Computer science

description: This is a tutorial and reference manual for DIAL, a diagrammatic animation language that allows parallel processes to be represented in a compact graphical "time line". DIAL provides a soft animation machine whose instruction set is determined by a user-provided backend. Unlike more recent animation notations that rely on bitmapped displays, and hence on special editors and extensive run-time support, DIAL requires only a conventional full-screen editor for editing and no run-time support beyond its compact interpreter. DIAL is implemented in C and runs on a wide variety of System V and Berkeley versions of UNIX.

Synthetic-aperture experiment in the visible with on-axis digital heterodyne holography

description: We have developed a new on-axis digital holographic technique, heterodyne holography. The resolution of this technique is limited mainly by the amount of data recorded on two-dimensional photodetectors, i.e., the number of pixels and their size. We demonstrate that it is possible to increase the resolution linearly with the amount of recorded data by aperture synthesis as done in the radar technique but with an optical holographic field.
Microcoding the Lexicon with Co-occurrence Knowledge
Creators: name: Smadja, Frank A.

Subjects: Computer science

description: Neither syntax nor semantics can justify the use of a certain class of English word combinations. This class contains word pairs that often appear together in a given context of meaning. Such pairs are called co-occurrence relations or idiosyncratic collocations [3]. To correctly understand or produce natural language, such lexical relations need to be specifically encoded in lexicons [6]. [10]. [1]. In this paper, we show how word-based lexicons can be enriched with automatically acquired lexical relations. We call this process microcoding the lexicon, since it corresponds to the addition of lexical associations in a regular lexicon. We are using our enriched lexicon for language generation. Co-occurrence knowledge is particularly important for language generation, without it, awkward or incorrect sentences could be produced. In previous natural language work, co-occurrence knowledge was ignored or hand encoded. In contrast, we acquire it automatically from the analysis of large textual corpora. We describe the acquisition method based on EXTRACT [12], a co-occurrence compiler that retrieves lexical relations from the statistical analysis of a large corpus. We indicate how these lexical associations are entered in a word-based lexicon in a useful and coherent way for language generators. We then show how this information is used in COOK, a functional unification based language based generator that correctly handles collocation ally restricted sentences. Whenever possible, we use examples taken from the bank and stock market domains.
The full squeezed CMB bispectrum from inflation

description: The small-scale CMB temperature we observe on the sky is modulated by perturbations that were super-horizon at recombination, giving differential focussing and lensing that generate a non-zero bispectrum even for single-field inflation where local physics is identical. Understanding this signal is important for primordial non-Gaussianity studies and also parameter constraints from the CMB lensing bispectrum signal. Because of cancellations individual effects can appear larger or smaller than they are in total, so a full analysis may be required to avoid biases. I relate angular scales on the sky to physical scales at recombination using the optical equations, and give full-sky results for the large-scale adiabatic temperature bispectrum from Ricci focussing (expansion of the ray bundle), Weyl lensing (convergence and shear), and temperature redshift modulations of small-scale power. The delta N expansion of the beam is described by the constant temperature 3-curvature, and gives a nearly-observable version of the consistency relation prediction from single-field inflation. I give approximate arguments to quantify the likely importance of dynamical effects, and argue that they can be neglected for modulation scales l

description: We extend the adiabatic limit formula for eta-invariants by Bismut-Cheeger and Dai to Seifert fibrations. Our formula contains a new contribution from the singular fibres that takes the form of a generalised Dedekind sum. As an application, we compute the Eells-Kuiper and t-invariants of certain cohomogeneity one manifolds that were studied by Dearricott, Grove, Verdiani, Wilking, and Ziller. In particular, we determine the diffeomorphism type of a new manifold of positive sectional curvature.

Co-Injection of Non-Condensable Gas and Foam in SAGD using a Modified Well Configuration - A Simulation Study

description: The objective of this research is to examine the feasibility of foam co-injection with steam in SAGD using modified well configurations using numerical simulation. The foam used in this project is a composition of water, non-condensable gas (NCG) and surfactant. The application of foam in this study is for achieving the gas mobility reduction and decreasing the residual oil saturation. The use of foam forms a more stable insulating layer below the top of formation, which results in lowered overburden heat loss and cSOR. To place the foam directly below the overburden rock, vertical steam injectors are implemented in this study. Simulation runs are created using CMG STARS (Thermal and Advanced Process Simulator) using Long Lake Pad 16 as the target location. These simulation results demonstrated substantial improvement in cSOR by co-injecting foam with steam using the vertical injectors. Non-flowing boundary condition was used in all simulations. The producer operational constraint is a combination of maximum live steam rate and minimum bottom hole pressure (BHP). The base case forecasts production from January 2017 to January 2027 in steam only SAGD operation. The base case showed approximately 75,000 m3 oil production in 10 years, with a cumulative Steam Oil Ratio (cSOR) of 6.19. The simulation results show that injecting the foam improved both cumulative oil production and cSOR. As expected, foam reduces the gas mobility and stabilizes the insulating blanket formed by high gas saturation at the top of the steam chamber. Injection of foam also increases the trapped gas saturation and reduces the residual oil saturation. The optimized simulation case with three vertical wells enabled the cSOR to be as low as 4.3 at 3,500 kPa operation pressure. However, the maximum allowed operating pressure at Long Lake is 2,600 kPa. The optimized case under lowered pressure of 2,500 kPa uses four injection-wells configuration, which gave cSOR of 4.25.
