Pre-Laurentide and Deglacial History of the Edmonton Region, Alberta, Canada
Creators: Rubin, Allison
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The Edmonton-area landscape has been shaped by multiple geomorphic events throughout the Quaternary period. These events account for the distribution of resources and landforms across Central Alberta, making their reconstruction essential to understanding the geomorphic history of the Canadian Prairies. Such reconstructions are limited despite their inferred broader significance, and in the Edmonton region, multiple key Quaternary events have not been revisited in the 21st century. This thesis addresses this knowledge gap by reconstructing the pre-Laurentide buried valley drainage system within Central Alberta and the deglacial formation and drainage of glacial Lake Edmonton – two events that occurred within the Quaternary period and have influenced the geomorphology of the Edmonton region. The general location of the Edmonton-area buried valleys, known collectively as the Beverly valley network, and their hydrogeologic potential has been investigated in previous studies, but a detailed analysis of the valley geometry and lithostratigraphy has not yet been completed. The study presented in this thesis maps the extent and thalweg position of the Beverly catchment using water well drilling records and surface exposures in addition to creating a geologic framework for the valley lithostratigraphy. The results suggest sediment supply at the valley source to be a major control on downstream coarse sediment distribution. Previously reported radiocarbon dates suggest that the buried valleys within the Beverly network likely formed ~20 – 50,000 years BP. These findings prompt future investigations on the Beverly network flow systems and aquifer potential as additional water sources for the Edmonton region are explored. The second study presented here focuses on reconstructing glacial Lake Edmonton – a proglacial lake that formed over the Edmonton area during the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Previous studies have acknowledged its formation and subsequent drainage through the Gwynne outlet, but the palaeohydraulics of its drainage have yet to be quantified. Five stages of lake formation are delineated and a HEC-GeoRAS/HEC-RAS system is used with palaeo-depth indicators to model the palaeo-bed topography of the Gywnne outlet. The peak discharge derived from lake volume and spillway incision is estimated as 25,000 – 95,000 m3sec-1, resulting in a minimum flow duration of 5-8 days. The results suggest that the Gwynne spillway formation was time-transgressive, and that the drainage of glacial Lake Edmonton was largely erosional.
The Role of Proteinase Activated Receptor-2 (PAR-2) Activation in the Airways
Creators: Fiteih, Yahya Muhammad
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Allergens possessing serine proteinase activity like house dust mite (HDM) and cockroach can activate proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), a pro-inflammatory G-coupled receptor.

Par-2 -/- mice develop attenuated airway inflammation compared to WT mice. PAR-2 blockage in the airways abrogated the ability of CD4+ T cells to transfer the disease to naïve mice, decreased lung Th2 cytokines, and decreased ex vivo splenocyte proliferation in response to HDM. As a result, activation of PAR-2 is critical for allergic sensitization and allergic airway inflammation. Inhibiting PAR-2 activation in the airways is interesting, although cells mediating PAR-2 activation in the airways and the role of PAR-2 activation on the formation of CD4+ T memory cells are not fully understood.

Using mouse models, we demonstrated that PAR-2 activation in the airways induce the release of inflammatory mediators essential for Th2 skewing of the immune response. In addition, the loss of PAR-2 expression on airway structural cells, possibly airway epithelium attenuates allergic airway inflammation. Moreover, we have evidence indicating that the loss of PAR-2 expression abrogated the ability of CD4+ T cells to transfer the disease to naïve mice. Furthermore, we propose that the loss of PAR-2 expression attenuates the formation of CD4+ T memory cells in the lung and spleens of mice treated with house dust mite (HDM).

We hypothesize that the loss of PAR-2 expression on structural cells, such as airway epithelium, suppresses the production of inflammatory mediators necessary for Th2 polarization of the immune response, resulting in a decrease in CD4 + T memory cells in the lung and spleen.

Our study is highlighting the critical role of PAR-2 activation on airway structural cells and its role on memory cells formation. PAR-2 antagonists, or the neutralisation of mediators released after PAR-2 activation, could be a very appealing therapeutic approach for preventing asthmatic airway inflammation. The capacity to apply targeted therapeutic techniques will be enhanced if the involvement of airway epithelial cells can be determined.

description: Il lavoro propone una rilettura della prospettiva di Gino Germani sulla modernizzazione a partire dai modi in cui ha affrontato la questione razziale. Nonostante non rappresenti uno dei temi  centrali della teoria di Germani  è sorprendente la regolarità con la quale questo problema è apparso nel corso dei suoi lavori. La proposta di analizzare con maggior attenzione questa problematica  è un invito a sfuggire ad una lettura di Germani che crediamo di conoscere e i cui interessi non sembrano ormai essere i nostri (chi potrebbe, dopo tutta l'acqua passata sotto i ponti, illudersi con la promessa della transizione a una società moderna?), per incontrarne (o, forse, per produrne) un altro che possa conversare con noi e con le nostre problematiche attuali.

description: This paper revisits standard calculations of free field entanglement entropy in light of the newly developed lattice-continuum correspondence. This correspondence prescribes an explicit method to extract an approximately continuum quantum field theory out of a fully regularized lattice theory. This prescription will here be extended to subregion algebras, and it will be shown how entropies of continuum boson and fermion theories can be computed by working purely with lattice quantities. This gives a clear picture of the origin of divergences in entanglement entropy while also presenting a concise and detailed recipe for calculating this important quantity in continuum theories.

description: We identify targets in the Kepler field that may be characterized by transit timing variations (TTVs) and are detectable by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Despite the reduced signal-to-noise ratio of TESS transits compared to Kepler, we recover 48 transits from 13 systems in Sectors 14, 15, 26, 40 and 41. We find strong evidence of a nontransiting perturber orbiting Kepler-396 (KOI-2672) and explore two possible cases of a third planet in that system that could explain the measured transit times. We update the ephemerides and mass constraints where possible at KOI-70 (Kepler-20), KOI-82 (Kepler-102), KOI-94 (Kepler-89), KOI-137 (Kepler-18), KOI-244 (Kepler-25), KOI-245 (Kepler-37), KOI-282 (Kepler-130), KOI-377 (Kepler-9), KOI-620 (Kepler-51), KOI-806 (Kepler-30), KOI-1353 (Kepler-289) and KOI-1783 (Kepler-1662).

description: The information retrieval (IR) community has a strong tradition of making the computational artifacts and resources available for future reuse, allowing the validation of experimental results. Besides the actual test collections, the underlying run files are often hosted in data archives as part of conferences like TREC, CLEF, or NTCIR. Unfortunately, the run data itself does not provide much information about the underlying experiment. For instance, the single run file is not of much use without the context of the shared task's website or the run data archive. In other domains, like the social sciences, it is good practice to annotate research data with metadata. In this work, we introduce ir_metadata - an extensible metadata schema for TREC run files based on the PRIMAD model. We propose to align the metadata annotations to PRIMAD, which considers components of computational experiments that can affect reproducibility. Furthermore, we outline important components and information that should be reported in the metadata and give evidence from the literature. To demonstrate the usefulness of these metadata annotations, we implement new features in repro_eval that support the outlined metadata schema for the use case of reproducibility studies. Additionally, we curate a dataset with run files derived from experiments with different instantiations of PRIMAD components and annotate these with the corresponding metadata. In the experiments, we cover reproducibility experiments that are identified by the metadata and classified by PRIMAD. With this work, we enable IR researchers to annotate TREC run files and improve the reuse value of experimental artifacts even further.

Functional surface nanodroplets for sensitive chemical analysis and nanomaterials synthesis
Creators: Wei, Zixiang
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Surface nanodroplets are nano-scale droplets immobilized on a solid surface with an immiscible liquid environment. These droplets possess a large surface area to volume ratio and some desirable properties such as a long lifetime and excellent stability, compared to the bulk droplets. Surface nanodroplets can be formed in a simple and highly controllable process of solvent exchange. Thus, surface nanodroplets have the potential to be applied in lab-on-chip deceive design, highly sensitive chemical sensing, micro-reactors, high-resolution imaging, catalytic reaction and others. The novelty of our works is that we applied the advantages of accelerated mass transfer and reaction rate of the surface nanodroplet in fast acid mixture detection and controllable surface-bound materials synthesis.\\

This thesis reports acid detection and nanomaterials synthesis by using functional surface nanodroplets. The surface nanodroplets containing halochromic chemical compounds are formed by solvent exchange. A colorimetric reaction takes place in the droplets by extracting acidic analyte from the bulk. The time scale of the color change depends on the droplet size, interfacial properties and the dissociation constant of the analyte. The decoloration time is specific to the acid type, giving the possibility to distinguish the multi-component mixtures. Compared to other acid detectors, surface nanodroplets give a faster and more visualized result based on the color change and show potential in instrument-free detection. Furthermore, a partition shifting down of the analyte is found by the coupled extraction and reaction process of the surface nanodroplet. A higher sensitivity of the colorimetric reaction in droplets is obtained compared to the bulk system. The coupled nanoextraction and chemical reaction have been theoretically investigated and show good agreement with the experimental results. Finally, the surface nanodroplets are used as the template and nucleation site to fabricate the surface-bound materials from the biphasic reaction. Surface nanodroplets enhanced the biphasic reaction, reducing the need of catalyst and additive chemicals, compared to the reaction in bulk. Micro- or nano-structures of metal and metal oxides are fabricated, which can be applied in photo-catalytic degradation and surface enhancement Raman scattering.
A Game-theoretic Model of the Consumer Behavior Under Pay-What-You-Want Pricing Strategy

description: In a digital age where companies face rapid changes in technology, consumer trends, and business environments, there is a critical need for continual revision of the business model in response to disruptive innovation. A pillar of innovation in business practices is the adoption of novel pricing schemes, such as Pay-What-You-Want (PWYW). In this paper, we employed game theory and behavioral economics to model consumers' behavior in response to a PWYW pricing strategy where there is an information asymmetry between the consumer and supplier. In an effort to minimize the information asymmetry, we incorporated the supplier's cost and the consumer's reference prices as two parameters that might influence the consumer's payment decision. Our model shows that consumers' behavior varies depending on the available information. As a result, when an external reference point is provided, the consumer tends to pay higher amounts to follow the social herd or respect her self-image. However, the external reference price can also decrease her demand when, in the interest of fairness, she forgoes the purchase because the amount she is willing to pay is less that what she recognizes to be an unrecoverable cost to the supplier.

description: Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) is a ubiquitous dynamical phenomenon believed to be responsible for the emergence of universal scale-invariant behavior in many, seemingly unrelated systems, such as forest fires, virus spreading or atomic excitation dynamics. SOC describes the buildup of large-scale and long-range spatio-temporal correlations as a result of only local interactions and dissipation. The simulation of SOC dynamics is typically based on Monte-Carlo (MC) methods, which are however numerically expensive and do not scale beyond certain system sizes. We investigate the use of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) as an effective surrogate model to learn the dynamics operator for a paradigmatic SOC system, inspired by an experimentally accessible physics example: driven Rydberg atoms. To this end, we generalize existing GNN simulation approaches to predict dynamics for the internal state of the node. We show that we can accurately reproduce the MC dynamics as well as generalize along the two important axes of particle number and particle density. This paves the way to model much larger systems beyond the limits of traditional MC methods. While the exact system is inspired by the dynamics of Rydberg atoms, the approach is quite general and can readily be applied to other systems.
Investigating microbial habitats and carbon pools associated with a high Arctic glacier
Creators: Dhoonmoon, Charvanaa
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Glacial systems are reservoirs of nutrients, labile organic matter, and microbes. Glaciers contain diverse environments (supraglacial (surface), subglacial (base), and ice-marginal) with variable organic matter pools shaped by different physical processes and site-specific microbial communities and metabolisms. The ecological interactions between organic matter and microbial communities, including the bioavailability of organic matter to these communities, in glacial environments remain to be constrained. Samples of supraglacial ice, meltwaters from an ice-marginal channel, and basal ice were collected from Sverdrup Glacier, a polythermal tidewater glacier in the Canadian high Arctic. We assessed microbial diversity (from the 16S rRNA gene) and functional potential (from taxonomy) and correlated community composition with solute (nutrient and major ions) concentrations and dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition measured via fluorescence spectroscopy and ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS). We also incubated melted debris-rich and debris-poor basal ice to monitor microbial uptake of glacial organic carbon to gain insight into the lability of this carbon pool and the effects on microbial diversity and functional potential. Distinct microbial communities and different patterns of correlations with solute and DOM properties among the glacial environments suggest that site-specific compositions of solutes and DOM shape community structures. The presence of both putative heterotrophic and autotrophic metabolisms across these glacial environments further supported the potential for in-situ microbial carbon cycling in glacial ecosystems. Fluorescence spectroscopy and FT-ICR-MS results revealed significant but varying labile fractions of DOM among the glacial environments, largely derived from in-situ microbial activity. Our experimental incubations showed that this DOM was bioavailable to in-situ microbial communities and stimulated glacial heterotrophs in both incubations. A higher carbon uptake was also observed in the debris-rich incubation versus the debris-poor incubation, suggesting a differential supply of labile DOM by debris in basal ice. This study helps to establish a baseline from which to assess future physical and ecological changes in glacial labile DOM reservoirs and microbe-DOM interactions driven by climate warming. As glaciers shrink and glacial meltwater and associated labile carbon fluxes increase, this study provides insight into the role of in-situ microbial communities in shaping DOM bioavailability and the effect of DOM on glacial microbial community ecology.
State of Charge and Capacity Tracking in VRFB Systems
Creators: Schofield, Kalvin
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Numerous battery technologies have been developed, each with their own advantages and disadvantages which are discussed herein. An emerging form is the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), which utilizes vanadium's two soluble redox couples to create a fully liquid state system based off a single metal. The VRFB electrolyte is prone to several degradation mechanisms which reduces its capacity over time. While state of charge (SOC) monitoring is commonly done via voltage, this is only able to detect symmetrical capacity losses across the full system. As the electrolyte displays brilliant color changes upon cycling, the SOC may be monitored via electrolyte absorbance. As the proposed method is able to monitor each electrolyte individually, asymmetrical capacity losses may be detected. The primary goal of this thesis is to a) develop a flow cell which allows for optical monitoring of a continuous flow of acidic electrolyte, b) develop a measurement system capable of monitoring an electrolyte's absorbance of a white light source, and c) determine the suitability and accuracy of this technique for SOC monitoring of the VRFB anolyte and catholyte. Testing is performed on a 2.5 kW, 40 cell VRFB stack with 8L and 40 L volumes of electrolyte. An automatic electrolyte re-balancing mechanism is constructed by adding a hydraulic shunt between the two tanks, which has successfully demonstrated the ability to recover symmetric capacity loss due to net water transport. For continual monitoring of asymmetric losses, an FD11a photodiode was used to monitor electrolyte absorbance in a custom-made flow cell with thicknesses of 1/4", 1/8", 1/16". Although experiments were unsuccessful due to the high absorbance of the electrolyte, results displayed promise should a smaller optical path/stronger light source be used.

The Applicability of Ferroelectrics for Analog and Digital Transistor Applications
Creators: Yuan, Zhi Cheng J
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

As transistors scale to ever smaller dimensions, power density becomes an increasingly important issue in integrated circuit (IC) design. Recently, negative-capacitance field-effect transistors (NCFETs), realized by stacking ferroelectric material on top of conventional gate oxides, have been proposed to reduce power consumption in modern aggressively scaled devices. The negative capacitance of these ferroelectric materials provide voltage amplification to the transistor in order to reduce the subthreshold-swing (SS), which would reduce the active power consumption of the device via a reduction of the supply voltage. Beyond reduction of power consumption for individual transistors, the unique negative capacitance behavior in these ferroelectric materials also offers a vast array of options in modern IC design.  As a result, ferroelectric materials are an exciting area of research.

The current state-of-the-art modeling approach for the dynamics of ferroelectric materials is via the Landau-Khalatnikov (LK) equation. In this work, we implement a multi-domain improvement upon the LK equation and combine it with Cadence circuit simulations to model and predict the characteristics of NCFETs and other ferroelectric devices.

In the first stage of this work, we calibrate our multi-domain LK model to experimental results to show a very strong match. Using this calibrated model, we examine the potential speed limitations of NCFETs and identify the requirement on the viscosity parameter of the ferroelectric materials to provide sub-picosecond rise time required for modern transistors.

In the second stage, we propose a new measurement technique for extracting the LK parameters of a ferroelectric material. We demonstrate via Cadence circuit simulation that this new measurement technique is able to accurately extract all LK parameters, including the viscosity parameter, which is difficult to extract using standard techniques.

In the third stage, we propose a new application for ferroelectric materials to increase the unity-current-gain frequency f_T of a transistor. By placing the ferroelectric in parallel with the FET gate, the negative capacitance of the ferroelectric cancels the positive gate capacitance of the FET, which in turn increases the f_T. This new application of ferroelectrics opens new possibilities for IC design.

Overall, this work improves the understanding of ferroelectric materials pertaining to their applications in IC design, providing critical information for the electron device community as it continues to explore methods to advance the performance of nanoscale electronics into the 2030s and beyond, the current horizon of the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems.
Application of Deep Learning in Process Fault Diagnosis, Modelling and Optimization

Year: 2022

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has gained great interest in industrial applications due to their supremacy in modelling complex process behaviour. Applications of ANN include process modelling, optimization and fault diagnosis. However,  pure data-driven approaches that use only observations to approximate the system dynamics may not be ideal candidates, especially when substantial physics-based knowledge is available but not utilized. This study refers to such knowledge as Domain Knowledge (DK).

This M.Sc. research is focused on fault diagnosis, modelling and optimization of industrial plants using ANN techniques. This thesis is mainly divided into two parts. First, Chapter 3 outlines an empirical study of the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, one of the most well-known Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) algorithms. During this study, we can further understand how the LSTM algorithm works to capture temporal features. Then, we propose adding an Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average with eXogenous input (ARIMAX) on top of the LSTM network to handle faults related to the closed-loop system. The proposed framework is applied to the Wind Turbine System (WTS) to detect blade and pitch system faults. The second part mainly focuses on incorporating DK into the neural network structure. Hence, Chapter 4 describes the Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) framework based on Ensemble Sequential Learning and the Mixture Density Network (ESL-MDN). The proposed model estimates the components that build the cost function and constraints of the Differential Evolution (DE) optimizer. Finally, the proposed method has been validated by data collected from Reverse Osmosis Water Desalination (ROWD) plant to demonstrate a  reduction in energy consumption,  achieved by the optimization strategy under different scenarios.

Student Experiences of a Diversity-Positive Chapter Book: An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis Using an Arts-Informed Analysis
Creators: Gilmour, Laura Lynn
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This study aimed to understand the lived experience of school-aged children engaging with a diversity-positive chapter book in a classroom setting. Participants were 9 third-grade students and 26 sixth-grade students and their respective teachers in a Canadian urban school. An interpretive phenomenological analysis with an arts-informed approach was utilized to collect and interpret data.

Before the study, I created a children’s chapter book, The Book of Can’t and Don’t, exploring the friendship between a fictional child living on the autism spectrum and her new cousin internationally adopted from Haiti. Book creation involved implementing feedback from people with disabilities, racial minorities, immigrants, and community professionals. Teachers read the story to students over four weeks, with two chapters read aloud per week. In addition, once a week, the students participated in a Draw and Write activity where they drew scenes inspired by each week’s readings.

The following major themes emerged in the coding process: a) expression of negative emotions, b) expression of positive emotions, c) experiencing or noticing individual differences, and d) experiences of emotional or internal conflict resolution. Most student responses described experiences from their lives that they perceived as emotionally equivalent to experiences of the characters in the book. Notable developmental differences were observed between students in third grade and students in the fifth-sixth grade classroom. Third-grade children often described caregiver separation and nighttime fears (e.g., ghosts). The older students tended to describe the fear of embarrassment in peer social situations, fear of peer rejection, and individual differences as a component of their identity (e.g., race). I expected more responses where students discussed disabilities, race, or other individual differences. However, only a few student responses mentioned these themes. Extant literature supports the idea that school-aged children are at a developmental age where they are peer-oriented and desire to assimilate with peers. Both abilities to understand the emotional state of others and self-concept continue to develop during this period. As children approach adolescence, self-concept separate from others grows in importance, and children become increasingly independent from adult caregivers.

The results from this study support the use of The Book of Can’t and Don’t as a tool for a) facilitating discussion in classrooms on social and emotional learning and intersectionality, b) creating opportunities for validation and acceptance of students with individual differences, and c) creating a sense of community in classroom settings by putting students and teachers into the mindset for shared understanding.

description: Typical educational robotics approaches rely on imperative programming for robot navigation. However, with the increasing presence of AI in everyday life, these approaches miss an opportunity to introduce machine learning (ML) techniques grounded in an authentic and engaging learning context. Furthermore, the needs for costly specialized equipment and ample physical space are barriers that limit access to robotics experiences for all learners. We propose ARtonomous, a relatively low-cost, virtual alternative to physical, programming-only robotics kits. With ARtonomous, students employ reinforcement learning (RL) alongside code to train and customize virtual autonomous robotic vehicles. Through a study evaluating ARtonomous, we found that middle-school students developed an understanding of RL, reported high levels of engagement, and demonstrated curiosity for learning more about ML. This research demonstrates the feasibility of an approach like ARtonomous for 1) eliminating barriers to robotics education and 2) promoting student learning and interest in RL and ML.

title:  Tra eccezione e governance:una forma di governamentalità
Creators: name: Messina, Giovanni
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2016

description: Il contributo analizza la formazione di una nuova forma di governamentalità attraverso le categorie dell’emergenza e della dispersione dei poteri. La prima è quella dell’emergenza, della temperie da “stato d’eccezione”. Si tratta di una condizione che è continuamente chiamata in questi anni a giustificare le decisioni dei governi e l’azione amministrativa, riducendo in un modo o nell’altro gli spazi di discussione, di confronto e di critiche, compromettendo non poco quel carattere essenziale delle collettività che si dicono democratiche. Il secondo elemento, che caratterizza gli ultimi decenni della storia giuridico-istituzionale,  è quello della dispersione del potere politico e normativo; come crescente inefficacia degli organismi politico-amministrativi degli apparati statali, mancanza di autonomia politica degli Stati rispetto a organismi sovranazionali,depotenziamento delle istituzioni della democrazia formale (rappresentativa e parlamentare). Questi due elementi permettono di comprendere meglio i significati politici e le conseguenze sulla vita delle persone dei processi che dominano le nostre collettività.

title:  È tornata la crisi. La prospettiva della criminologia clinica: i colpevoli della crisi
Creators: name: Merzagora, Isabella
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2016

description: Il contributo analizza, attraverso la prospettiva della criminologia clinica, quanto il comportamento psicopatologico dei colletti bianchi (e soprattutto quello dei manager aziendali) abbia favorito l’emergere della crisi economica. Il lavoro utilizza un approccio teorico e empirico. In una prima parte passa in rassegna la letteratura internazionale in merito alla definizione white collar criminale e in particolare “Psicopatici Aziendali”. Nella seconda presenta una ricerca realizzata attraverso la somministrare il test Psychopathic Personality Inventory - Revised (PPI-R) a 52 manager. Questo test è considerato particolarmente efficace per uno screening ad ampio spettro delle caratteristiche della psicopatia; non si occupa specificatamente dei comportamenti antisociali di tipo fisicamente aggressivo che qui non ci interessavano; oltre al punteggio totale, che è l’indice globale di psicopatia, permette di calcolare i valori ai diversi tratti della personalità psicopatica, come l’egocentrismo machiavellico, l’esternalizzazione della colpa, la freddezza emotiva, etc.
