An approach to improving battery life time in a PV application using high energy density double layer capacitors
Creators: name: Majaess, David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: An application to monitor Steller sea lions using a sub dermal sensor requires a power supply to provide energy for wildlife monitoring base stations. The base stations are positioned near the habitats of the North Pacific Steller sea lions in isolated coastal areas of North British Columbia and South Alaska. The locations expose the base station to high winds, storms, ice, snow, debris, impacts from ocean waves, salt corrosion, and wide temperature swings. Furthermore, due to the remote distance, there is limited infrastructure; connection to the electrical grid is impossible and installation/maintenance is costly. The project requires a ruggedized, autonomous power supply requiring minimum maintenance and a long operating life. Therefore, the thesis proposes a unique power supply design incorporating high energy density double layer capacitors (ultracapacitors) that extends serviceability and improves immunity to cold climates. Finally, the researchers working on the Steller sea lion project have a limited economic budget and require a low cost system that is simple to transport and easy to install. The purpose of this research is to extend the battery's service life and improve the base station's immunity to cold climates. In this thesis, two methods are used to accomplish the objective. The first undertaking is to extensively research, design and implement high efficient components to minimize battery demand. As a result, the input source, its electronics and the load are well matched for the application. The next task is to incorporate a battery/capacitor bank to store energy. By integrating ultracapacitor technology to create a hybrid energy storage system, the battery cycling is minimized.

description: The 2014-2020 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform defines new rules for farmers including maintenance of the ecological focus area (EFA). Sustainability is also a requirement to meet consumer expectations and a competitive advantage for firms. This paper aims to evaluate the farmers’ intention to implement sustainable practices related to the EFA measure and to the private sustainability schemes proposed by the food industry. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) was applied on a sample of durum wheat producers to analyse intentions 1) to maintain 7% of the arable land as an EFA, and 2) to implement the private sustainability scheme. Structural equation modelling was applied to test for the relative importance of intention determinants. The farmers’ attitude and past behaviour positively affect intentions to implement the EFA, while perceived behavioural control and attitudes predict intentions to adopt the private sustainability scheme. These results suggest possible interventions that public authorities and supply chain leaders might implement to stimulate farmers’ sustainable behaviours.

description: In this paper we suggest that low labour availability on part-time farms may limit part-time farmers’ choice of production enterprises, and as a consequence those farmers may be forced to engage in less profitable enterprises. This proposition is illustrated by a conceptual framework based on the assumption that products with high returns to labour are labour intensive. An empirical analysis for the period 1996- 2004 based on aggregated yearly data from the Swiss Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) did not fully confirm the proposition. This may suggest the existence of a joint determination of the choice of production enterprise and of the choice to work off the farm. In addition, our assumption that highly profitable enterprises are labour intensive may not hold for specific products or contexts.

description: The purpose of this study was to analyze the technical efficiency of citrus producing properties in Sao Paulo state, in 2009 and 2010. For this, producers were interviewed; non–parametric data envelopment analysis approach was applied to calculate levels of technical efficiency, and an econometric approach was applied to establish technical efficiency determinants. The results showed that a great part of Sao Paulo citrus producing properties works inefficiently and the variables that mostly contribute to increase efficiency are “producer schooling “ and “experience as rural producer”.

description: The three body decays $B \to D^{(*)} \bar{D}^{(*)} K_s$ may be used to measure both $\sin{2β}$ and $\cos{2β}$. Crucial to the $\cos{2β}$ measurement is the resonant contribution to the three body decay from p-wave excited $D_s$ states. If these p-wave states are the newly discovered $D_s(2317)$ and $D_s(2460)$ then they are below the $D^{(*)} K$ threshold and hence do not contribute to $B \to D^{(*)} \bar{D}^{(*)} K_s$. The three body decays can then be used to measure $\sin{2β}$ without resonant dilution and to look for new physics in $ b \to c \bar{c} s $ transition.

description: We study galaxy interactions in the large scale environment around A2670, a massive ($M_{200}$ = $8.5 \pm 1.2~\times 10^{14} \mathrm{M_{\odot}}$) and interacting galaxy cluster at z = 0.0763. We first characterize the environment of the cluster out to 5$\times R_{200}$ and find a wealth of substructures, including the main cluster core, a large infalling group, and several other substructures. To study the impact of these substructures (pre-processing) and their accretion into the main cluster (post-processing) on the member galaxies, we visually examined optical images to look for signatures indicative of gravitational or hydrodynamical interactions. We find that $\sim 21$ % of the cluster galaxies have clear signs of disturbances, with most of those ($\sim60$ %) likely being disturbed by ram pressure. The number of ram-pressure stripping candidates found (101) in A2670 is the largest to date for a single system, and while they are more common in the cluster core, they can be found even at $> 4 \times R_{200}$, confirming cluster influence out to large radii. In support of a pre-processing scenario, most of the disturbed galaxies follow the substructures found, with the richest structures having more disturbed galaxies. Post-processing also seems plausible, as many galaxy-galaxy mergers are seen near the cluster core, which is not expected in relaxed clusters. In addition, there is a comparable fraction of disturbed galaxies in and outside substructures. Overall, our results highlight the complex interplay of gas stripping and gravitational interactions in actively assembling clusters up to $5\times R_{200}$, motivating wide-area studies in larger cluster samples.

description: We analyze the impact of the effectiveness of internal regulation for the development of internal and export markets for credence goods, focusing on food products, particularly for a developing country which is an exporter (or a potential exporter). In the model, since goods of actual different quality can be sold as high quality goods, expected quality is a function of consumers’ beliefs about the effectiveness of regulation. Foreign consumers, who cannot observe foreign regulation as closely as domestic ones, may partly base their expectations on the level of development of the exporting country. Low effectiveness, negative stereotype and low consumers’ trust may cause a failure in the market for high quality, and there may be a trap of underdevelopment and no high quality exports. The main policy implications are that increasing the effectiveness of regulation improves export prospects; standard setting and enforcement by external actors, such as supermarkets, or NGOs in the case of certain niche markets, is likely to be beneficial.
Euclidean Algorithm for a Gravitational Lens in a Polynomial Equation

description: The Euclidean algorithm in algebra is applied to a class of gravitational lenses for which the lens equation consists of any set of coupled polynomial equations in the image position. In general, this algorithm allows us to reduce an apparently coupled system to a single polynomial in one variable (say $x$ in Cartesian coordinates) without the other component (say $y$), which is expressed as a function of the first component. This reduction enables us to investigate the lensing properties in an algebraic manner: For instance, we can obtain an analytic expression of the caustics by computing the discriminant of the polynomial equation. To illustrate this Euclidean algorithm, we re-examine a binary gravitational lens and show that the lens equation is reduced to a single real fifth-order equation, in agreement with previous works. We apply this algorithm also to the linearlized Kerr lens and find that the lens equation is reduced to a single real fifth-order one.

description: An over-reliance on the less-affected limb for functional tasks at the expense of the paretic limb and in spite of recovered capacity is an often-observed phenomenon in survivors of hemispheric stroke. The difference between capacity for use and actual spontaneous use is referred to as arm nonuse. Obtaining an ecologically valid evaluation of arm nonuse is challenging because it requires the observation of spontaneous arm choice for different tasks, which can easily be influenced by instructions, presumed expectations, and awareness that one is being tested. To better quantify arm nonuse, we developed the Bimanual Arm Reaching Test with a Robot (BARTR) for quantitatively assessing arm nonuse in chronic stroke survivors. The BARTR is an instrument that utilizes a robot arm as a means of remote and unbiased data collection of nuanced spatial data for clinical evaluations of arm nonuse. This approach shows promise for determining the efficacy of interventions designed to reduce paretic arm nonuse and enhance functional recovery after stroke. We show that the BARTR satisfies the criteria of an appropriate metric for neurorehabilitative contexts: it is valid, reliable, and simple to use.

description: We show that the logarithmic infrared divergences in electron self-energy and vertex function of massless QED in 2+1 dimensions can be removed at all orders of 1/N by an appropriate choice of a non-local gauge. Thus the infrared behaviour given by the leading order in 1/N is not modified by higher order corrections. Our analysis gives a computational scheme for the Amati-Testa model, resulting in a non-trivial conformal invariant field theory for all space-time dimensions 2 < d < 4.

description: We consider the Fermi quantization of the classical damped harmonic oscillator (dho). In past work on the subject, authors double the phase space of the dho in order to close the system at each moment in time. For an infinite-dimensional phase space, this method requires one to construct a representation of the CAR algebra for each time. We show that unitary dilation of the contraction semigroup governing the dynamics of the system is a logical extension of the doubling procedure, and it allows one to avoid the mathematical difficulties encountered with the previous method.

description: Substate regional organizations -- public bodies to provide planning, technical assistance, and service coordination for multicounty areas -- are a relatively new development in the American governmental system. Known by a variety of names, such as regional councils, regional planning commissions, or other specialized titles, few of these agencies existed before the midsixties. Since then, Federal support for the regional concept has led to rapid growth in the number and importance of these agencies. Today, over 2,000 of these agencies virtually blanket the Nation. This article reviews the status of substate regional organizations. How well have they met the goals originally set for them? Have they earned a legitimate place in providing needed services to rural local governments? And, how will they fare during the eighties?
Modeling of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors
Creators: name: Castro, Leonardo De Camargo E
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In this thesis, models are presented for the design and analysis of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs). Such transistors are being seriously considered for applications in the emerging field of nanotechnology. Because of the small size of these devices, and the near-one-dimensional nature of charge transport within them, CNFET modeling demands a rigorous quantum-mechanical basis. This is achieved in this thesis by using the effective-mass Schrödinger Equation (SE) to compute the electron and hole charges in the nanotube, and by using the Landauer Equation to compute the drain current. A Schrödinger-Poisson (SP) solver is developed to arrive at a self-consistent potential distribution within the device. Normalization of the wavefunction in SE is achieved by equating the probability density current with the current predicted by the Landauer Equation. The scattering matrix solution is employed to compute the wavefunction, and an adaptive integration scheme to obtain the charge. Overall convergence is sought via the Picard or Gummel iterative schemes. An AC small-signal circuit model, employing the DC results from the SP solver, is also constructed to obtain estimates of the high-frequency capabilities of the transistors. The DC results predict the unusual ambipolar behaviour of CNFETs reported in the literature, and explore the possibilities of using work-function engineering to tailor I-V characteristics for different device applications. The model qualitatively agrees with some experimental results in the literature, and gives confidence that the performance of coaxial devices, when they become available, will be well predicted by the models. In the AC regime, it was found that under somewhat ideal operating conditions the operating limit of these devices might just reach into the 1-10 THz regime. In addition to the development of rigorous modeling procedures for CNFETs, a preliminary compact model is developed, in which some of the essence of the detailed model is distilled into a set of simpler equations, which may prove useful in guiding device design towards CNFETs for applications in nanoelectronics.

description: Zinc sulfide is a wide bandgap semiconductor which crystallizes in either the wurtzite modification (a-ZnS), the zincblende modification (b-ZnS) or as one of several similar tetrahedrally coordinated polytypes. In this work, we report a photoluminescence study of different samples of isotopically pure b-ZnS crystals, and crystals with the natural isotopic abundances, at 15 and 77 K. The derivatives of the free and bound exciton energies on isotopic mass have been obtained. They allow us to estimate the contribution of the zinc and sulfur vibrations to the bandgap renormalization energy by electron-phonon interaction. A two-oscillator model based on the zinc and sulfur renormalization energies has been used to account for the temperature dependence of the bandgap energy in ZnS. The results are compared with those found for other tetrahedrally coordinated semiconductors.

description: This article is about the experience of a group of women in the commercialization of gathered wild fruits through the governmental Food Purchase Program (PAA) in the Brazilian State of Sergipe. The analytical framework is associated to the debate on poverty and specific public policies for traditional communities in rural areas. The women hold a collective identity as the mangaba gatherers, based on their use of common pool resources with low environmental impact. They mobilize themselves through the MCM – Movimento das Catadoras de Mangaba, Mangaba Gatherer Women ́s Movement. Although they have recently been recognized as having specific legal rights, they are experiencing the dwindling of the resources they gather, as well as difficulties in commercialization of the fruits due to their seasonality and the unpredictability of access. The research was carried out between 2008 and 2011 and involved direct and participant observations and open-ended interviews. The main results show that the PAA has contributed to increased income, consumption and self-esteem. There was a re-arrangement in their way of participating in the program, meanwhile some of their traditional practices were relegated. The program rules were re-signified and adapted locally. While growing solidarity has been observed among the gatherers, competition for the fruits has also increased.

description: Recent neural models for relation extraction with distant supervision alleviate the impact of irrelevant sentences in a bag by learning importance weights for the sentences. Efforts thus far have focused on improving extraction accuracy but little is known about their explainability. In this work we annotate a test set with ground-truth sentence-level explanations to evaluate the quality of explanations afforded by the relation extraction models. We demonstrate that replacing the entity mentions in the sentences with their fine-grained entity types not only enhances extraction accuracy but also improves explanation. We also propose to automatically generate "distractor" sentences to augment the bags and train the model to ignore the distractors. Evaluations on the widely used FB-NYT dataset show that our methods achieve new state-of-the-art accuracy while improving model explainability.

This is the first detection of the superhump phenomenon in the radio and the first observation of superhumps in Algol systems. According to our result, the accretion disk in Algol precesses in spite of its non-Keplerian nature and therefore this phenomenon is not restricted to the classical Keplerian disks in compact binaries.We propose that in Algol systems with short orbital periods, the disk is magnetically active as well as the secondary star. The magnetic field in the disk originates from amplification of the seed field in the magnetized material transferred from the secondary. The disk and stellar fields interact with each other, with reconnection of the field lines causing flares and particle acceleration. Relativistic particles are trapped in the field and directed toward the polar regions of the secondary star because of the dipole structure of its magnetic field. Our proposed model for the magnetic activity in Algol systems provides a simple explanation to the observed properties of Algol in the radio wavelengths, and to the presence of quiescent gyrosynchrotron emission near the polar region of the secondary star, where electrons are difficult to be confined if the field lines are open as in normal single magnetic stars. We propose that the superhump variation in the radio is generated by enhanced reconnection when the elongated side of the elliptic disk is the closest to the cool star. This leads to flares and enhancement in particle acceleration and is manifested as stronger gyrosynchrotron radiation.

description: Here, we trap and control the position of droplets to study their dynamics using hydrodynamic forces alone without an external field. The hydrodynamic trap is adapted from a previously implemented Stokes trap by incorporating a drop-on-demand system to generate droplets at a T-junction geometry on the same microfluidic chip. We then study confined droplet dynamics in response to perturbation by applying a millisecond-pressure pulse to deform trapped droplets. Droplet shape relaxation after cessation of the pressure pulse follows an exponential decay. The characteristic droplet shape relaxation time is obtained from the shape decay curves for aqueous glycerol droplets of varying viscosities in the dispersed phase with light and heavy mineral oils in the continuous phase. Systems were chosen to provide similar equilibrium interfacial tensions (5-10 mN/m) with wide variations of viscosity ratios. It is found that the droplet shape relaxation shows a strong dependence on droplet radius, and a weak dependence on the ratio of dispersed to continuous phase viscosity. The relaxation time is smaller for the highest viscosity ratios, potentially indicating that the dominant viscosity controls the droplet shape relaxation time in addition to the interfacial tension and droplet size. Droplet shape relaxation time can be used inform the response of droplets in an emulsion when subjected to transient flows in various processing conditions. Finally, an application of this platform for directly visualizing individual droplet coalescence in a planar extensional flow is presented. The microfluidic four-channel hydrodynamic trap can thus be applied for studying fundamental physics of droplet deformation and droplet-droplet interactions on the micro-scale to provide an enhanced understanding of emulsion behavior on an individual droplet level.

description: The world has faced the devastating outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), or COVID-19, in 2020. Research in the subject matter was fast-tracked to such a point that scientists were struggling to keep up with new findings. With this increase in the scientific literature, there arose a need for organizing those documents. We describe an approach to organize and visualize the scientific literature on or related to COVID-19 using machine learning techniques so that papers on similar topics are grouped together. By doing so, the navigation of topics and related papers is simplified. We implemented this approach using the widely recognized CORD-19 dataset to present a publicly available proof of concept.

description: Robust, high-fidelity readout is central to quantum device performance. Overcoming poor readout is an increasingly urgent challenge for devices based on solid-state spin defects, particularly given their rapid adoption in quantum sensing, quantum information, and tests of fundamental physics. Spin defects in solids combine the repeatability and precision available to atomic and cryogenic systems with substantial advantages in compactness and range of operating conditions. However, in spite of experimental progress in specific systems, solid-state spin sensors still lack a universal, high-fidelity readout technique. Here we demonstrate high-fidelity, room-temperature readout of an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers via strong coupling to a dielectric microwave cavity, building on similar techniques commonly applied in cryogenic circuit cavity quantum electrodynamics. This strong collective interaction allows the spin ensemble's microwave transition to be probed directly, thereby overcoming the optical photon shot noise limitations of conventional fluorescence readout. Applying this technique to magnetometry, we show magnetic sensitivity approaching the Johnson-Nyquist noise limit of the system. This readout technique is viable for the many paramagnetic spin systems that exhibit resonances in the microwave domain. Our results pave a clear path to achieve unity readout fidelity of solid-state spin sensors through increased ensemble size, reduced spin-resonance linewidth, or improved cavity quality factor.

Exact sharp-fronted travelling wave solutions of the Fisher-KPP equation

description: A family of travelling wave solutions to the Fisher-KPP equation with speeds $c=\pm 5/\sqrt{6}$ can be expressed exactly using Weierstrass elliptic functions. The well-known solution for $c=5/\sqrt{6}$, which decays to zero in the far-field, is exceptional in the sense that it can be written simply in terms of an exponential function. This solution has the property that the phase-plane trajectory is a heteroclinic orbit beginning at a saddle point and ends at the origin. For $c=-5/\sqrt{6}$, there is also a trajectory that begins at the saddle point, but this solution is normally disregarded as being unphysical as it blows up for finite $z$. We reinterpret this special trajectory as an exact sharp-fronted travelling solution to a \textit{Fisher-Stefan} type moving boundary problem, where the population is receding from, instead of advancing into, an empty space. By simulating the full moving boundary problem numerically, we demonstrate how time-dependent solutions evolve to this exact travelling solution for large time. The relevance of such receding travelling waves to mathematical models for cell migration and cell proliferation is also discussed.

description: We investigate the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in a tilted one-dimensional periodic lattice within the mean-field (Gross-Pitaevskii) description. Unlike in the linear case the Bloch oscillations decay because of nonlinear dephasing. Pronounced revival phenomena are observed. These are analyzed in detail in terms of a simple integrable model constructed by an expansion in Wannier-Stark resonance states. We also briefly discuss the pulsed output of such systems for stronger static fields.

Robust control : PID vs. fractional control design, a case study
Creators: name: Martínez, Arturo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis presents a systematic procedure to design PID and CRONE controllers to regulate the hypnotic state of anesthesia with the intravenous administration of propofol. The hypnotic state of the patient is assessed by means of the WAV index, a processed hypnotic index based on a deterministic analysis of the EEG. The objective of the controllers is to provide an adequate drug administration regime of propofol, depending on the hypnotic set point, to avoid under or over dosage of the patients. Propofol is assumed to be administered by a commercial Graseby 3400 infusion pump. The two model-based controllers are designed to compensate for the patients inherent drug-response variability (uncertainty), to achieve good output disturbance rejection, and to attain good set point response. The drug-response model consists of two parts: a pharmacokinetic model that characterizes the drug movement in the body, and pharmacodynamic model that relates the drug concentration in the brain to the WAV hypnotic index. An anti-windup scheme is also implemented to protect the system against performance degradation in the event of actuator saturation. The performance of the controllers is assessed by calculating typical time domain measures (overshoot, settling and rise times), and using the median performance error, median absolute performance error, divergence, and wobble of the system's output. Overall, the CRONE controller was shown to have better output disturbance rejection, and to be less sensitive to the drug-response variability of the patients.

description: The latest Belle and BaBar measurements of the inclusive B -> X_s l^+ l^- branching ratio have smaller errors and lower central values than the previous ones. We point out that these results indicate that the sign of the b -> s gamma amplitude is the same as in the SM. This underscores the importance of B -> X_s l^+ l^- in searches for new physics, and may be relevant for neutralino dark matter analyses within the MSSM.

description: Design patterns (DPs) are recognised as a good practice in software development. However, the lack of appropriate documentation often hampers traceability, and their benefits are blurred among thousands of lines of code. Automatic methods for DP detection have become relevant but are usually based on the rigid analysis of either software metrics or specific properties of the source code. We propose GEML, a novel detection approach based on evolutionary machine learning using software properties of diverse nature. Firstly, GEML makes use of an evolutionary algorithm to extract those characteristics that better describe the DP, formulated in terms of human-readable rules, whose syntax is conformant with a context-free grammar. Secondly, a rule-based classifier is built to predict whether new code contains a hidden DP implementation. GEML has been validated over five DPs taken from a public repository recurrently adopted by machine learning studies. Then, we increase this number up to 15 diverse DPs, showing its effectiveness and robustness in terms of detection capability. An initial parameter study served to tune a parameter setup whose performance guarantees the general applicability of this approach without the need to adjust complex parameters to a specific pattern. Finally, a demonstration tool is also provided.
