Online Active Condition Monitoring of Power Equipment Using Natural Power Disturbances
Creators: Wang, Xi
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Power equipment condition monitoring is an important practice of utility companies. It helps to prevent unexpected outages of power systems and reduces maintenance costs. There are two general approaches to condition monitoring: passive and active. Passive condition monitoring is conducted by detecting abnormal signals generated by the equipment of interest. This approach is reactive since it waits for abnormal equipment conditions to occur. Active condition monitoring is conducted by injecting a test signal and analyzing the equipment response. It is a proactive approach. However, due to its intrusive nature, active condition monitoring can only be performed occasionally in an offline mode, and it involves high costs.

The proposed Ph.D. research aims to transform active condition monitoring from offline to online. This is achieved by utilizing natural power disturbances as the test signals. The proposed approach has the potential to enable frequent and automatic testing of equipment once the monitoring system is set up. In addition, the statistical trends of equipment responses under repetitive tests will provide a much more accurate picture of equipment conditions. In this research, the proposed concept is applied to solving two challenging problems: substation grounding grid condition monitoring and open conductor detection.

This thesis presents two online methods for monitoring the substation grounding grid impedance and thus revealing the conditions of the substation grounding grid. Natural disturbances in the form of a ground-fault current and a 3rd harmonic current are used as test signals, respectively. Both methods’ performance and effectiveness are demonstrated through analytical studies and extensive verification, sensitivity, and application studies. This thesis further presents two online schemes to detect the open conductor condition in power plants. Natural voltage sag disturbance and 3rd harmonic power are used as test signals, respectively. The performance and practicability of both methods have been demonstrated using simulation and experimental studies. These two methods can work individually or in a parallel way to increase the effectiveness and reliability of the open conductor detection.

The power-disturbance-based condition monitoring concept as presented in this thesis has the potential to transform many offline, intrusive condition monitoring methods into online automatic condition monitoring methods, thus creating a new opportunity to improve the “smartness” of power equipment and power systems.
Uncertainty-Evoking Leader Rhetoric and Support for Unexpected Leaders
Creators: Kincaid, Kathryn
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Group members prefer leaders who are prototypical of their group and adopt a democratic (vs. autocratic) leadership style (Hogg & van Knippenberg, 2003; Lippitt and White, 1943). However, feelings of uncertainty can weaken these preferences and increase support for non-prototypical and autocratic leaders, who are typically seen as undesirable (Rast et al., 2013; 2015). Astute non-prototypical or autocratic leaders may intentionally evoke feelings of uncertainty among group members to elevate support for themselves. The current research examines uncertainty-evoking leader rhetoric and its effects on relative support for autocratic and non-prototypical leaders. In two experiments, participants (N = 138; N = 115) evaluated a prospective leader where I manipulated this leader’s rhetoric (high versus low uncertainty) and the leader's prototypicality (Study 1) or leadership style (Study 2). Results indicated that among group members who were not strongly identified with their group, prototypical leaders were evaluated more favorably than non-prototypical leaders when they did not evoke uncertainty. However, this advantage disappeared when they used high uncertainty evoking rhetoric (Study 1). Furthermore, we found a persistent preference for non-autocratic leaders, regardless of leader rhetoric used (Study 2). These results suggest that using rhetoric to evoke feelings of uncertainty may be an effective strategy for non-prototypical leaders to garner support, but this advantage may not extend to autocratic leaders.

description: The valuable aroma compound piperonal with its vanilla-like olfactory properties is of high interest for the fragrance and flavor industry. A lipoxygenase (LOXPsa1) of the basidiomycete Pleurotus sapidus was identified to convert piperine, the abundant pungent principle of black pepper (Piper nigrum), to piperonal and a second volatile product, 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamaldehyde, with a vanilla-like odor through an alkene cleavage. The reaction principle was co-oxidation, as proven by its dependence on the presence of linoleic or α-linolenic acid, common substrates of lipoxygenases. Optimization of the reaction conditions (substrate concentrations, reaction temperature and time) led to a 24-fold and 15-fold increase of the piperonal and 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamaldehyde concentration using the recombinant enzyme. Monokaryotic strains showed different concentrations of and ratios between the two reaction products.

description: Early diagnosis is a promising strategy to reduce premature mortalities and for optimal use of resources. But the absence of mathematical models specific to the data settings in LMIC’s impedes the construction of economic analysis necessary for decision-makers in the development of cancer control programs. This thesis presents a new methodology for parameterizing the natural history model of breast cancer based on data availabilities in low and middle income countries, and formulation of a control optimization problem to find the optimal screening schedule for mammography screening, solved using dynamic programming. As harms and benefits are known to increase with the increase in the number of lifetime screens, the trade-off was modeled by formulating the immediate reward as a function of false positives and life-years saved. The method presented in thesis will provide optimal screening schedules for multiple scenarios of Willingness to Pay (numeric value assigned for each life-year lived), including the resulting total number of lifetime screens per person, which can help decision-makers evaluate current resource availabilities or plan future resource needs for implementation.
title: Pre-Travel Training And Real-Time Guidance System For People With Disabilities  In Indoor Environments

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Public transportation provides people with access to education, employment, health and community activities. However, navigating inside public hubs for people with disabilities such as cognitive or mobility impairments can be very challenging and dangerous. With the rapid development of digital technology such as Smartphones and sensors, there are unprecedented opportunities to assist people with disabilities to conquer these challenges.
In this research, we aim to create a two-step indoor navigation solution for users with different mobility and orientation abilities. In the first step, we developed a virtual reality-based pre-travel training module that enables users to familiarize themselves with the virtual environment which represents the physical environment. After users feel confident and familiar enough with the environment, they proceed to the second step in which they visit the physical environment and use our real-time navigation assistance module.
The pre-travel training module is developed using a Unity-based 3D game and includes a virtual indoor environment that represents the physical environment. The game provides a navigation function that highlights the path between the user location and the chosen destination. Considering the unique needs of cognitive impaired users, we designed action training modules in the game environment which train the user to use the ticket machine, fare gate and call boxes. Such training modules help cognitive impaired users familiarize themselves with the environment as well as gain confidence to experience the physical environment.
When the users are ready to visit the physical environment, they use our real-time navigation assistance module which includes the same 3D virtual environment developed for the pre-travel training module. This approach is particularly important for people with cognitive impairment since they cannot organize navigation cues effectively. Using the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) infrastructure in the environment, our localization algorithm can track the user location in real-time. Subsequently, the user’s location will be integrated into the game environment so that the navigation path between the user’s current location and the selected destination can be generated and visualized by the user on the fly.

description: Understanding the mechanisms contributing to positive relationships between predator diversity and natural pest control is fundamental to inform more effective management practices to support sustainable crop production. Predator body size can provide important insights to better understand and predict such predator-pest interactions. Yet, most studies exploring the link between predator body size and pest control have been conducted in species-poor communities under controlled environmental conditions, limiting our ability to generalize this relationship across heterogeneous landscapes. Using the community of naturally occurring ground beetles in cabbage fields, we examined how landscape composition (percent cropland) influences the size structure (mean, variance, and skewness of body size distribution) of predator communities and the subsequent effects on pest control. We found that predator communities shifted their size distribution toward larger body sizes in agriculturally dominated landscapes. This pattern arose from increasing numerical dominance of a few large-bodied species rather than an aggregated response across the community. Such landscape-driven changes in community size structure led to concomitant impacts on pest control, as the mean body size of predators was positively related to predation rates. Notably, the magnitude of pest control depended not only on the size of the dominant predators but was also strongly determined by the relative proportion of small vs. large-bodied species (i.e., skewness). Predation rates were higher in predator assemblages with even representation of small and large-bodied species relative to communities dominated by either large or small-bodied predators. Landscape composition may therefore modulate the relationship between predator body size and pest control by influencing the body size distribution of co-occurring species. Our study highlights the need to consider agricultural practices that not only boost effective predators, but also sustain a predator assemblage with a diverse set of traits to maximize overall pest control.

description: This is number seven of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on the preservation of historic glazed architectural terra-cotta. Today, many of this country's buildings are constructed of glazed architectural terra-cotta. However, many of these are in a state of serious deterioration and decay. Glazed architectural terra-cotta was, in many ways, the "wonder" material of the American building industry in the late 19th century and during the first decades of the 20th century. New technology and methods of rehabilitation now hold promise for the restoration and rehabilitation of these invaluable and significant resources. Restoration/rehabilitation work on glazed architectural terra-cotta is demanding and will not tolerate halfway measures. Today's preservation work should equal the spirit, attention to detail, pride in workmanship and care which characterized the craftsmanship associated with this widely used, historic masonry material.

description: The dataset contains all the data from the survey conducted, including the incentivised experimental questions on contributions to public goods. Data underpin an article titled 'Inequality, outreach, and impact in public goods contributions', The Journal of Development Studies. The Stata do-file contains the analysis of this dataset. The analysis underlies our draft paper on inequality, outreach and impact in public goods contributions. Mobilizing domestic resources is vital in financing domestic investment and social programmes, which are essential for reducing poverty in developing countries. We consider citizens' willingness to contribute to public goods as one mechanism for domestic resource mobilization. In particular, we are interested in how willingness to contribute varies on 3 dimensions: inequality in initial endowments, public good outreach (small group versus national), and the expected impact of giving. We conducted a preregistered (AEARCTR-0007746) online experiment with a sample of 900 respondents in South Africa. First, public goods game tasks with equal and unequal endowments were compared to estimate inequality impacts. Second, a dictator game decision with donations to a national charity was compared to the local public goods game to study the effect of project outreach. Finally, to estimate donation impact, charity decisions with quadrupled contributions were compared to those with doubled contributions. We find overall high levels of contribution, with much overlap across the different contexts considered. We note that the highest endowment proportion is contributed in the unequal context, with low endowment players giving the highest share of their endowments. Response time data shows that decisions take longer where donation impact is higher, and endowments are unequal, particularly for those receiving lower endowments.

description: In Winter 2023 the School of Dentistry began a pilot program to track clinical assessment of learners through a digital platform called Smartsheets. The rationale for choosing Smartsheets included a need to (1) move student assessment data outside a system attached to the patient record (aXium) and (2) utilize a tool available at OHSU. While Smartsheets has been used as a data collection tool in health science fields, it has not been utilized as a clinical assessment tracker, to the knowledge of the presenters. The presenters will demonstrate how Smartsheets was set up to collect and display data and discuss initial findings of the pilot, including setbacks, challenges, and successes. The presenters also aim to raise awareness for other programs regarding the potential uses of this tool.

description: We present a rigorous renormalization group scheme for lattice quantum field theories in terms of operator algebras. The renormalization group is considered as an inductive system of scaling maps between lattice field algebras. We construct scaling maps for scalar lattice fields using Daubechies’ wavelets, and show that the inductive limit of free lattice ground states exists and the limit state extends to the familiar massive continuum free field, with the continuum action of spacetime translations. In particular, lattice fields are identified with the continuum field smeared with Daubechies’ scaling functions. We compare our scaling maps with other renormalization schemes and their features, such as the momentum shell method or block-spin transformations.
title: Sex, Motivation, and Reversal Learning in the Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)
Creators: name: Carlotto, Alyssa
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: This study examined the relationships between motivation and cognitive performance in male and female common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus). This question was driven by prior data from the Lacreuse lab showing a robust female impairment in reversal learning, as assessed by the number of trials needed to acquire a reversal following a simple discrimination between two stimuli. This thesis tested the hypothesis that the female impairment in reversal learning was mediated by deficits in motivation. Two sets of measures were used to test this hypothesis. I evaluated physical effort via testing on the progressive ratio (PR), a test that requires animals to produce an increasing number of responses to get a reward. Cognitive effort was evaluated through the number of refusals (aborted trials) produced during performance of a reversal. Because estrogen replacement was previously shown to impair reversal learning in ovariectomized females, I also examined whether PR performance was affected by estrogen levels in a subset of female subjects.
Contrary to my hypothesis, reversal learning was not significantly associated with cognitive or physical effort in either males or females. Estrogen levels did not significantly affect physical effort, but there was too much variability in a small sample of females for these results to be compelling. We conclude that the sex difference in reversal learning performance is unlikely to be mediated by sex differences in motivation. Instead females may be more likely than males to engage in habitual processes implicating the dorsal striatum, likely through the action of estrogens on this brain region.

description: Magma migration and differentiation processes are key to understanding the development and evolution of oceanic magma reservoirs. To provide new quantitative geochemical constraints on these processes, we applied a high-resolution approach to study an interlayered section of the lower oceanic crust sampled at Atlantis Bank, on the (ultra)slow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge. The section is characterized by sharp grain-size layering between fine- and coarse-grained olivine gabbros that is representative of other layered structures described at the Atlantis Bank oceanic core complex. The textures and fabrics of the layers and the nature of their contacts indicate formation by intrusion of a magma (i.e., crystal-bearing) into an almost solidified coarse-grained mush. Petrographic observations and in situ incompatible trace element signatures indicate that the fine- and coarse-grained layers record reactive porous migration of melts. Widespread reactive porous flow occurred prior to intrusion within the coarse-grained gabbro, producing mineral compositions enriched in incompatible elements. The intrusive fine-grained lithology records a late stage event of localized reactive melt percolation in cm-scale structures, which lead to strong light rare earth elements depletion relative to heavy rare earth elements. In addition, we highlight the occurrence of interactions at the contacts between layers and partial modification in compositions of the intruded lithology. This layered section likely represents a contact between two larger magma bodies emplaced within the lower crust during accretion, where the type of melt migration (intrusion or porous flow) and the modalities of melt percolation (widespread or localized) strongly govern the composition of the crustal lithologies.
The role of atomic vacancies and boundary conditions on ballistic thermal transport in graphene nanoribbons

description: Quantum thermal transport in armchair and zig-zag graphene nanoribbons are investigated in the presence of single atomic vacancies and subject to different boundary conditions. We start with a full comparison of the phonon polarizations and energy dispersions as given by a fifth-nearest-neighbor force-constant model (5NNFCM) and by elasticity theory of continuum membranes (ETCM). For free-edges ribbons we discuss the behavior of an additional acoustic edge-localized flexural mode, known as fourth acoustic branch (4ZA), which has a small gap when it is obtained by the 5NNFCM. Then, we show that ribbons with supported-edges have a sample-size dependent energy gap in the phonon spectrum which is particularly large for in-plane modes. Irrespective to the calculation method and the boundary condition, the dependence of the energy gap for the low-energy optical phonon modes against the ribbon width W is found to be proportional to 1/W for in-plane, and 1/W$^2$ for out-of-plane phonon modes. Using the 5NNFCM, the ballistic thermal conductance and its contributions from every single phonon mode are then obtained by the non equilibrium Green's function technique. We found that, while edge and central localized single atomic vacancies do not affect the low-energy transmission function of in-plane phonon modes, they reduce considerably the contributions of the flexural modes. On the other hand, in-plane modes contributions are strongly dependent on the boundary conditions and at low temperatures can be highly reduced in supported-edges samples. These findings could open a route to engineer graphene based devices where it is possible to discriminate the relative contribution of polarized phonons and to tune the thermal transport on the nanoscale.

description: The electronic energy of $\mathrm H_2^+$ in magnetic fields of up to $B=0.2B_0$ (or 4.7 $\times 10^4$ Tesla) is investigated. Numerical values of the magnetic susceptibility for both the diamagnetic and paramagnetic contributions are reported for arbitrary orientations of the molecule in the magnetic field. It is shown that both diamagnetic and paramagnetic susceptibilities grow with inclination, while paramagnetic susceptibility is systematically much smaller than the diamagnetic one. Accurate two-dimensional Born-Oppenheimer surfaces are obtained with special trial functions. Using these surfaces, vibrational and rotational states are computed and analysed for the isotopologues $\mathrm H_2^+$ and $\mathrm D_2^+$.

title: Gestational Weight Gain, Offspring Asthma and Wheeze Phenotypes in Project Viva
Creators: name: Wagner, Kathryn
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: In the US, 8.4% of children are diagnosed with asthma by age 18, making asthma one of the most common chronic conditions among children. Additionally, 25% of children experience persistent wheezing by age 6, an indicator of childhood asthma. Both childhood asthma and persistent wheezing may be linked to inflammatory and immune mechanisms, which are associated with inadequate and excessive gestational weight gain. Studies investigating the relationship between gestational weight gain and offspring asthma and wheeze phenotypes are limited by self-reported gestational weight gain, early age at asthma and wheeze assessments, limited adjustment for potential confounders and no trimester-specific evaluations. Therefore, we investigated the association between total and trimester-specific gestational weight gain, offspring asthma and wheeze phenotypes among 2128 mother-child pairs in Project Viva, a prospective cohort study in eastern Massachusetts. Gestational weight gain was abstracted from medical records and self-reported prepregnancy weight, and defined both continuously and using Institute of Medicine guidelines. Offspring asthma was obtained via maternal report at approximately 7 years, while wheeze trajectories were derived via latent class mixed models based on presence of wheeze between 1 and 9 years, inclusively, via maternal report. We investigated the relationship between gestational weight gain, offspring asthma and wheeze phenotypes using multivariable regressions and predicted probabilities, adjusting for important covariates. Most women had excessive gestational weight gain (56%), while 31% had adequate gestational weight gain and 13% had inadequate gestational weight gain. Approximately 18% of children had current mid-childhood asthma, 13% had early transient wheeze and 13% had persistent wheeze. We found a non-linear association between total gestational weight gain and offspring current mid-childhood asthma. Additionally, there was a 36% decreased odds of early transient wheeze among children of mothers with excessive third trimester gestational weight gain (aOR= 0.64; 95% CI: 0.42-0.98). This study adds to the body of literature by incorporating adequate inclusion of confounders and risk factors for adjustment, as well as being the first study to evaluate the association between trimester-specific gestational weight gain, offspring asthma and wheeze phenotypes.

description: There are various competing procedures to determine whether fractional cointegration is present in a multivariate time series, but no standard approach has emerged. We provide a synthesis of this literature and conduct a detailed comparative Monte Carlo study to guide empirical researchers in their choice of appropriate methodologies. Special attention is paid on empirically relevant issues such as assumptions about the form of the underlying process and the ability of the procedures to distinguish between short-run correlation and long-run equilibria. It is found that several approaches are severely oversized in presence of correlated short-run components and that the methods show different performance in terms of power when applied to common-component models instead of triangular systems.

description: The period of a Morse oscillator and mathematical pendulum system are obtained, accurate to 100 significant digits, by forward period analysis (FPA). From these results, the long-term [0, 10^60] (time unit) solutions, which overlap from the Planck time to the age of the universe, are computed reliably and quickly with a parallel multiple-precision Taylor series (PMT) scheme. The application of FPA to periodic systems can reduce the computation loops of long-term reliable simulation from O(t^(1+1/M)) to O(lnt+t/h0) where T is the period, M the order and h0 a constant step-size. This scheme provides a way to generate reference solutions to test other schemes' long-term simulations.
