Soil salvage and placement : breaking new ground at Teck’s Cheviot open pit coal mine

description: Soil management is an integral component of land reclamation at Teck, Cardinal River Operations’ (CRO) Cheviot open pit coal mine in the subalpine subregion of Alberta’s east slopes. Reclamation objectives at the mine include forest establishment, watershed protection, wildlife habitat, biodiversity and recreational use, and soil management practices determine in large part the success in achieving these objectives. We employ a unique combination of soil salvage and placement techniques. The salvage process incorporates all organic matter, including tree slash, trunks and roots - no burning disposal of tree slash occurs beforehand. This maximises the volume of organic matter incorporated during the soil salvage process and improves soil quality, while promoting the natural recovery of native plant species. Soil placement utilises a “rough-mounding” technique in which the dozer keeps the soil in front of the blade during the push. This practice results in a very rough, mounded surface that avoids soil compaction and provides a range of micro-sites, essential in this extremely windy, exposed environment. The resulting irregular soil thickness provides a suitable range in conditions for native plant re-establishment and encourages the redevelopment of soil and vegetation processes.

description: Quantum open systems are described in the Markovian limit by master equations in Lindblad form. I argue that common ``quantum jumps'' techniques, which solve the master equation by unraveling its evolution into stochastic trajectories in Hilbert space, correspond closely to a particular set of decoherent histories. This is illustrated by a simple model of a photon counting experiment.

description: No two languages are more different from each other than American English and Korean spoken in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea). It goes the same for their speakers. Average theatergoers in New York in 2017 share little with the average North Koreans or North Korean refugees scattered around the world. So how should a translator present North Korean characters for an American audience? This paper discusses dramaturgical issues surrounding translating the North Korean characters in "Sister Mok-rahn" for an American audience.

description: The dynamics of a stock market with heterogeneous agents is discussed in the framework of a recently proposed spin model for the emergence of bubbles and crashes. We relate the log returns of stock prices to magnetization in the model and find that it is closely related to trading volume as observed in real markets. The cumulative distribution of log returns exhibits scaling with exponents steeper than 2 and scaling is observed in the distribution of transition times between bull and bear markets.

Perturbed Coulomb potentials in the Klein-Gordon equation via the shifted-1 expansion technique

description: A shifted - l expansion technique is introduced to calculate the energy eigenvalues for Klein-Gordon (KG) equation with Lorentz vector and/or Lorentz scalar potentials. Although it applies to any spherically symmetric potential, those that include Coulomb-like terms are only considered. Exact eigenvalues for a Lorentz vector or a Lorentz scalar, and an equally mixed Lorentz vector and Lorenz scalar Coulombic potentials are reproduced. Highly accurate and rapidly converging ground-state energies for Lorentz vector Coulomb with a Lorentz scalar linear potential, V(r)=-A1/r+kr, and S(r)=kr, respectively, are obtained. Moreover, a simple straightforward closed-form solution for a KG-particle in a Coulombic Lorentz vector and Lorentz scalar potentials is presented in appendix A.

Citizenship

description: This dissertation study investigated how immigrant youth attending two different high schools for late-arrival immigrants in New York City constructed civic belonging by attending to their everyday enactments of citizenship across the contexts of school, neighborhood and home. Civic belonging refers to the embodied social practices by which immigrant youth cultivate social trust and construct an emotional connection to particular communities and places. In conducting this research, I utilized a critical visual research methodology, as well as interviews and focus groups. Data was collected from 10 immigrant youth from Guinea, the Gambia, Senegal, Yemen, Bangladesh and the Dominican Republic. My findings were that participants constructed civic belonging in school by creating social trust that bridged cultural, religious, linguistic, and ethnic differences. In their neighborhoods, their civic belonging was restricted by a politics of belonging that created distrust and misrecognition of their cultural and religious identities. Finally, my participants constructed civic belonging in relation to their understandings of home. Family relationships mediated their civic belonging by reinforcing home country ties. This study has implications for how public schools can better educate immigrant youth as citizens who build solidarity with diverse others and work towards a common good. This is critical in today’s world that is more connected through the movement of people, and yet, where many nation-states seek to limit the rights of immigrants to belong within their borders.
Sequential Local Mesh Refinement Solver with Separate Temporal and Spatial Adaptivity for Non-linear Two-phase Flow Problems

description: Convergence failure and slow convergence rates are among the biggest challenges with solving the system of non-linear equations numerically. Although mitigated, such issues still linger when using strictly small time steps and unconditionally stable fully implicit schemes. The price that comes with restricting time steps to small scales is the enormous computational load, especially in large-scale models. To address this problem, we introduce a sequential local mesh refinement framework to optimize convergence rate and prevent convergence failure, while not restricting the whole system to small time steps, thus improving computational efficiency. We test the algorithm with the non-linear two-phase flow model. Starting by solving the problem on the coarsest space-time mesh, the algorithm refines the domain in time at water saturation front to prevent convergence failure. It then deploys fine spatial grid in regions with large saturation variation to assure solution accuracy. After each refinement, the solution from the previous mesh is used to estimate the initial guess of unknowns on the current mesh for faster convergence. Numerical results are presented to confirm accuracy of our algorithm as compared to the uniformly fine time step and fine spatial discretization solution. We observe approximately 25 times speedup in the solution time by using our algorithm.

description: The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 has three copies of the psbA gene encoding the D1 reaction centre protein of Photosystem II (PS II). We have designed a mutagenesis system that allows introduction of mutations into the constitutively expressed psbA2 copy without affecting the expression of any flanking genes. A triple deletion strain was constructed in which psbA1 and psbA3 were removed by markerless deletions and psbA2 was replaced by a chloramphenicol-resistance cassette. A vector was then designed to enable the reintroduction of psbA2 in the chromosome using a kanamycin-resistance cassette as a selectable marker. This system was used to generate a control strain, which had an unmodified copy of psbA2, and two mutant strains which contained a copy of psbA2 where the codon for D1-Glu244 had been mutated to code for a His or Asp. The D1-Glu244 residue was targeted as it has been hypothesised to participate in a hydrogen-bond network that is required for protonation of the PS II secondary plastoquinone electron acceptor QB. While the phenotype of the control strain was similar to wild type, the E244H mutant exhibited impaired oxygen evolution and altered electron transfer between the primary quinone acceptor QA and QB. However, substitution of Glu-244 by Asp resulted in a mutant more closely resembling the control strain.

description: Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) are one of the most interesting high-energy completions of the Standard Model, because they provide a rich, powerful and elegant group-theoretical framework able to resolve a variety of problems remaining in our current understanding of particle physics. They usually act as motivators for many low energy BSM theories, such as left-right symmetric or supersymmetric models, and they serve to fill the gap between the experimentally reachable low energies and the physics in the ultraviolet. In recent years, however, they have fallen slightly from the spotlight, in favour of `simplified' models with more specific phenomenological predictions. The aim of this review is to summarize the state of the art on GUTs and argue for their importance in modern physics. Recent advances in experiments permit to test the predictions of GUTs at different energy scales. First, as GUTs can play a role in the inflationary dynamics of the early Universe, their imprints could be found in the CMB observations by the Planck satellite. Remarkably enough, GUTs could manifest themselves also in terrestrial tests; several planned experiments aim to probe the proton stability and to establish order of magnitude higher bounds on its lifetime. Moreover, the predictions of specific GUT models could be tested even at the LHC thanks to its high energy reach, via searches for exotic states or additional contributions to flavour anomalies.

description: Riffstrukturen an der Westküste der Insel Sylt werden als Ursache für das Auftreten eines Effektes intensiver Resonanzabsorption bei Sturmbedingungen angesehen. Einfallende Wellen wechselwirken mit Wasserspiegelauslenkungen in Beckenkonfigurationen derart dass Eigenfrequenzen des eingeschlossenen Wasserkörpers getroffen werden. Da in Wellenspektren beträchtliche Energiedichten den ersten 3 Eigenfrequenzen zuzuordnen sind, wird das Phänomen als Ursache für den bedeutenden Küstenabbruch angesehen. Die Resonanz wird - wie auch von elektomagnetischen Wellen bekannt - von einem Effekt intensiver anomaler Dispersion im Bereich niedriger Frequenzen begleitet. Ein solcher Effekt konnte auch im Wellenkanal dadurch nachgewiesen werden, dass ein Satz partiell stehender Wellen gleichzeitig aufgetreten ist. Da jede partielle Clapotis aus Frequenzkomponenten etwa gleicher Wellenlänge zusammengesetzt ist, müssen solche Komponenten einer anomalen Dispersion dc/df>0 gehorchen.

description: Sidewalks are the city’s most public space filled with diversity of both users and uses. This variety of programs and people create conflict within this space. Physical, programmatic, and social regulations construct sidewalk space, manage diverse usage, and attempt to mitigate clash and contention. Physical and programmatic regulations of sidewalks include the spatial dimensions through setback requirements, materiality of sidewalks, permitted uses in the space, and regulation of objects with sidewalk space such as newsstands, signage, and benches. Social regulations are twofold: use of the space is controlled through social norms and accepted behavior as well as legally acceptable behavior through quality of life enforcement. This research addresses the impacts of regulating sidewalks. The purpose of this research is to understand and examine the relationship between these regulations and behavior to better understand how sidewalks function and serve as public space. This study investigates sidewalk regulations in New York City, addressing city-wide regulations and specifically focuses on the sidewalks of the East Village to understand the implications of these regulations at the scale of the community. The density of regulations, both physical and social, create a highly controlled public space. Little research has been conducted to understand the impacts of these regulations within a comprehensive scope as most studies focus on particular elements of sidewalks and specific regulations which limits the understanding of the complexity of sidewalk usage. This thesis deciphers the complex web of regulations to understand how to plan sidewalks at the city level as well as understand the direct implications these regulations on the day-to-day pedestrians in order to recommend policies and practices to better plan sidewalks for public space.

description: We introduce observables associated with the space-time position of a quantum point defined by the intersection of two light pulses. The time observable is canonically conjugated to the energy. Conformal symmetry of massless quantum fields is used first to build the definition of these observables and then to describe their relativistic properties under frame transformations. The transformations to accelerated frames of the space-time observables depart from the laws of classical relativity. The Einstein laws for the shifts of clock rates and frequencies are recovered in the quantum description, and their formulation provides a conformal metric factor behaving as a quantum observable.

description: We have studied the effect of ageing within the miscibility gap on the electric, magnetic and thermodynamic properties of a non-stoichiometric Heusler Cu-Al-Mn shape-memory alloy, which undergoes a martensitic transition from a $bcc$-based ($β$-phase) towards a close-packed structure ($M$-phase). Negative magnetoresistance which shows an almost linear dependence on the square of magnetization with different slopes in the $M$- and $β$-phases, was observed. This magnetoresistive effect has been associated with the existence of Mn-rich clusters with the Cu$_2$AlMn-structure. The effect of an applied magnetic field on the martensitic transition has also been studied. The entropy change between the $β$- and $M$-phases shows negligible dependence on the magnetic field but it decreases significantly with annealing time within the miscibility gap. Such a decrease is due to the increasing amount of Cu$_2$MnAl-rich domains that do not transform martensitically.

description: Erosion control during the mining cycle can be more effectively planned using Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans (ESCPs). Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations and Ministry of Energy and Mines are developing an ESCP Guidance (ESCPG) document to clarify how the Environmental Management Act (EMA) pertains to the management of sediment. The benefits of having an ESCPG is expected to result in: (a) plans will be more standardized; (b) more clarity and efficiency for those generating ESCPs; (c) assisting regulators tasked with reviewing/approving ESCPs; (d) providing guidance for EMA mine effluent permitting; (e) establishing an expectation for including ESCPs in the BC Environmental Assessment (EA) phase and the mine economic assessment; (f) applying and optimizing ESCPs above the “watersheds” of sediment ponds; (g) utilizing the ESCPG document for “exploration”/”advanced exploration” sites as defined under EMA; (h) lowering the risk of adversely impacting water quality downstream of mining activities; and (i) providing a methodology for determining the need for sedimentation pond(s) during the construction and production phases. ESCPs will proactively create increased administrative efficiency in the EA and sub-EA reviews, EMA mine effluent permitting, and other governmental processes, and add support to the BC government “One Project, One Process” approach.

We give an explicit multiplicity-free decomposition into irreducible $gl(m|n)$-modules of the symmetric and skew-symmetric algebras of the symmetric square of the natural representation of $gl(m|n)$. In the former case we find as well explicit formulas for the highest weight vectors. Our work unifies and generalizes the classical results in symmetric and skew-symmetric models and admits several applications.

description: Genus Exora Chevrolat in Dejean 1836
Exora Chevrolat in Dejean 1836: 379 (type species Crioceris olivacea Fabricius, 1801, by subsequent designation of Hincks 1949).
Remarks
This genus currently contains 14 described species, but some of these should probably be transferred to Trigonexora Bechyné & Bechyné. True Exora occurs from Mexico through much of South America, and in the Lesser Antilles. See Fig. 56 for a habitus illustration. See Bechyné (1958) for a key to distinguish some of the species and subspecies. As with most Metacyclini, the larval habits of Exora are largely unknown. However, in unpublished notes from the late John A. Wilcox (currently in the possession of Shawn M. Clark), he recorded the following correspondence that he received from Jan Bechyné (dated 16 May 1970): “I have received important information from F. Fernández Yépez: The larvae of Pyesia Clark, 1865 or Exora have been collected in the FRUITS of Inga (Leguminosae-tree) and the adults have been obtained in laboratory ex larvae. I am unable to find the corresponding material now (may be in alcohol).”

description: The shape deformation of a three-dimensional axisymmetric vesicle with encapsulated filaments or impurities is analyzed by integrating a dissipation dynamics. This method can incorporate systematically the constraint of a fixed surface area and/or a fixed volume. The filament encapsulated in a vesicle is assumed to take a form of a rod or a ring so as to imitate cytoskeletons. In both cases, results of the shape transition of the vesicle are summarized in phase diagrams in the phase space of the vesicular volume and a rod length or a ring radius. We also study the dynamics of a vesicle with impurities coupled to the membrane curvature. The phase separation and the associated shape deformation in the early stage of the dynamical evolution can well be explained by the linear stability analysis. Long runs of simulation demonstrate the nonlinear coarsening of the wavy deformation of the vesicle in the late stage.

description: The development of math reasoning and 3-d mental rotation skills are intertwined. However, it is currently not understood how these cognitive processes develop and interact longitudinally at the within-person level – either within or across genders. In this study, 553 students (52% girls) were assessed from fifth to seventh grades on 3-d mental rotation spatial skills (assessed each fall) and numerical and algebraic math reasoning skills (assessed each spring). Boys outperformed girls on mental rotation tests across all three grades, and on fifth and seventh grade math reasoning tests. Consistent with the literature on between-person comparisons, there was a positive correlation between mental rotation and math reasoning skills in the full sample and for both genders. A random intercept cross-lagged panel model was used to control for these confounding group-level differences in order to isolate within-person associations between earlier and later performance. Initially in fifth grade, math reasoning predicted subsequent sixth grade mental rotation skills. By seventh grade, more advanced mental rotation skills were associated with subsequent math reasoning skills while math reasoning skills were no longer predictive of mental rotation skills. An examination of gender differences revealed that this pattern was driven by boys while girls experienced less within-person change. These findings suggest that boys may initially rely in part on their math reasoning skills to solve 3-d mental rotation tasks. However, as their 3-d mental rotation skills mature, they begin to primarily depend upon these developing spatial skills to solve math reasoning problems rather than the reverse.

description: We investigate Anderson transitions for a system of two particles moving in a three-dimensional disordered lattice and subject to on-site (Hubbard) interactions of strength U. The two-body problem is exactly mapped into an effective single-particle equation for the center of mass motion, whose localization properties are studied numerically. We show that, for zero total energy of the pair, the transition occurs in a regime where all single-particle states are localized. In particular the critical disorder strength exhibits a non-monotonic behavior as a function of |U|, increasing sharply for weak interactions and converging to a finite value in the strong coupling limit. Within our numerical accuracy, short-range interactions do not affect the universality class of the transition.

description: With the aid of a modified similarity transformation we obtained exact energy eigenvalues of the generalized Dirac-Coulomb equation. This equation consists of the time component of the Lorentz 4-vector potential V_v(r)=-A_1/r, and a Lorentz scalar potential V_s(r)=-A_2/r. The transformed radial equations are so simple that their solutions are inferred from the conventional solutions of the Schrodinger equation.

description: Surface mining can decrease carbon (C) but reclamation can improve soil quality and promote plant growth while restoring the terrestrial C sink. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of biosolids on the C storage capacity of mine tailings over time. Changes in C, nitrogen (N) and plant production over a 13 year period at a deactivated tailings site at Highland Valley Copper mine situated in interior British Columbia, were evaluated. Soil and biomass samples were taken in 2011 and compared to data from a study originally established in 1998. A randomized block design was used and the treatments included a control (no biosolids) and biosolids at application rates of 150 and 250 Mg ha⁻¹. Data was compiled in a chronosequence (representing years 0, 1, 2, and 13 years of reclamation) and analyzed. Biosolids increased total C, N and plant biomass while lowering the C:N ratio. Tailings C concentrations ranged from 1.4% for the control up to 17.2% for the 250 Mg ha⁻¹ treatment. Depending on the biosolid application rate, tailings sequestered up to 14 Mg C ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ during the 13 years of reclamation. The results show that the use of biosolids during reclamation can improve the C sequestering capacity of mine tailings, which is beneficial to the restoration of the terrestrial C sink and the global C cycle.

description: We study the analytic properties of the 't Hooft coupling expansion of the beta-function at the leading nontrivial large-$N_f$ order for QED, QCD, Super QED and Super QCD. For each theory, the 't Hooft coupling expansion is convergent. We discover that an analysis of the expansion coefficients to roughly 30 orders is required to establish the radius of convergence accurately, and to characterize the (logarithmic) nature of the first singularity. We study summations of the beta-function expansion at order $1/N_f$, and identify the physical origin of the singularities in terms of iterated bubble diagrams. We find a common analytic structure across these theories, with important technical differences between supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric theories. We also discuss the expected structure at higher orders in the $1/N_f$ expansion, which will be in the future accessible with the methods presented in this work, meaning without the need for resumming the perturbative series. Understanding the structure of the large-$N_f$ expansion is an essential step towards determining the ultraviolet fate of asymptotically non-free gauge theories.

Wave-particle duality in general relativity

description: In this paper a one to one correspondence is established between space-time metrics of general relativity and the wave equations of quantum mechanics. This is done by first taking the square root of the metric associated with a space and from there, passing directly to a corresponding expression in the dual space. It is shown that in the case of a massless particle, Maxwell's equation for a photon follows while in the case of a particle with mass, Dirac's equation results as a first approximation. Moreover, this one to one correspondence suggests a natural explanation of wave-particle duality. As a consequence, the distinction between quantum mechanics and classical relativistic mechanics is more clearly understood and the key role of initial conditions is emphasized.
