Dynamic modeling and process design of a membrane enhanced biological phosphorus removal process
Creators: name: Al-Atar, Eman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The design and operation of the membrane enhanced biological phosphorus removal (MEBPR) process was studied in the current research to utilize the utmost capacity of the membrane system for operating the process under high influent loads. The study was conducted in two parts. In the first part, a dynamic model was calibrated to predict data collected from the UBC MEBPR pilot plant. Then the calibrated model was utilized in simulation studies to develop guidelines for the design and operation of a UCT-type MEBPR process under high flowrates without jeopardizing the effluent quality. The Technical University of Delft model combined with ASM2d model (TUDP) which is developed for conventional biological phosphorus systems was found sufficient to describe the process behavior of the MEBPR process. The trend of the measured concentration profiles were reasonably predicted, but the exact concentration values for the anoxic nitrate and the effluent ortho-phosphate were not predicted. The calibrated model for the MEBPR process was able to predict the measured data collected from the UBC conventional enhanced biological phosphorus removal (CEBPR) process without changing any of the model parameters except for the rate of polyphosphate formation, k[sub pp], which was increased from 0.1 to 0.2 g P/(g COD • d) to better predict the anoxic ortho-phosphate concentrations. Simulation studies for the UCT-type MEBPR process showed that the sludge mass distribution in the bioreactor zones of the anaerobic and the aerobic zone are critical for the bio-P removal and the nitrification processes respectively. Appropriate design of the bioreactor zone volumes is important to ensure proper sludge mass distribution in the biological zones. A constant influent volatile fatty acid to total phosphorus concentration was also found important for an efficient bio-P removal process. The aerobic recycle flow was found to be most important for reducing the effluent nitrate concentration while minimizing nitrate leakage to the anaerobic zone. Based on the experimental results and the simulation studies carried out in the current project, a set of guidelines for the design and operation of a UCT-type MEBPR process and the application of process control were developed to achieve stable process performance for nutrient removal under high flowrate operation.

description: We theoretically investigate the energy relaxation rate of magnons and phonons near the resonance points to clarify the underlying mechanism of heat transport in ferromagnetic materials. We find that the simple two-temperature model is valid for the one-phonon/one-magnon process, as the rate of energy exchange between magnons and phonons is proportional to the temperature difference between them, and it is independent of temperature in the high temperature limit. We found that the magnon-phonon relaxation time due to the one-phonon/one-magnon interaction could be reduced to 1.48 $μs$ at the resonance point by applying an external magnetic field. It means that the resonance effect plays a significant role in enhancing the total magnon-phonon energy exchange rate, apart from the higher order interaction processes.

description: A number of models in mathematical epidemiology have been developed to account for control measures such as vaccination or quarantine. However, COVID-19 has brought unprecedented social distancing measures, with a challenge on how to include these in a manner that can explain the data but avoid overfitting in parameter inference. We here develop a simple time-dependent model, where social distancing effects are introduced analogous to coarse-grained models of gene expression control in systems biology. We apply our approach to understand drastic differences in COVID-19 infection and fatality counts, observed between Hubei (Wuhan) and other Mainland China provinces. We find that these unintuitive data may be explained through an interplay of differences in transmissibility, effective protection, and detection efficiencies between Hubei and other provinces. More generally, our results demonstrate that regional differences may drastically shape infection outbursts. The obtained results demonstrate the applicability of our developed method to extract key infection parameters directly from publically available data so that it can be globally applied to outbreaks of COVID-19 in a number of countries. Overall, we show that applications of uncommon strategies, such as methods and approaches from molecular systems biology research to mathematical epidemiology, may significantly advance our understanding of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

description: We study local and nonlocal correlations of light transmitted through active random media. The conventional approach results in divergence of ensemble averaged correlation functions due to existence of lasing realizations. We introduce conditional average for correlation functions by omitting the divergent realizations. Our numerical simulation reveals that amplification does not affect local spatial correlation. The nonlocal intensity correlations are strongly magnified due to selective enhancement of the contributions from long propagation paths. We also show that by increasing gain, the average mode linewidth can be made smaller than the average mode spacing. This implies that light transport through a diffusive random system with gain could exhibit some similarities to that through a localized passive system, owing to dominant influence of the resonant modes with narrow width.

description: The concern for social capital within and outside the social sciences has been more on its positive impact on society. The reason for this is quite obvious especially because it is easy to observe that social capital or the network of people and their resources can go a long way to provide socioeconomic safety nets for members of society more than when the component units stand on their own. But at the institutional level and specifically in developing nations, social capital tends to undermine sustainability and by extension enables negative impacts. While bureaucracy especially its impersonal principle has helped the developed nations to control the vulnerability of public institutions to social capital, the inability to objectively follow bureaucratic principles has made these institutions vulnerable to the abuse of social capital which in the case of Nigeria is enveloped in ethnoreligious affiliations. Hence, ethnicity and religion as social capitals have dovetailed to define a public service scenario where related institutions are unfortunately anti-productive and for the most part unsustainable. This paper holds the view that in the context of Nigeria, this twin social domain of what ordinarily should be positive, now emits negative consequences with deleterious effects on national development and sustainability as mediocre manpower continues to undermine efficiency and promote the culture of perpetual underdevelopment. Based on this, the paper recommends, that government should put up a law against negative ethnic and social relations, while promoting merit as a basis for employment and contract awards in Nigeria.

By attributing to each music group usual music genres (Rock, Pop...), and analysing correlations between music groups of different genres with percolation-idea based methods, we probe the reality of these subdivisions and construct a music genre cartography, with a tree representation. We also show the diversity of music genres with Shannon entropy arguments, and discuss an alternative objective way to classify music, that is based on the complex structure of the groups audience. Finally, a link is drawn with the theory of hidden variables in complex networks.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

title: The petrogenesis of the Eocene Challis Volcanic Group, Idaho, western U.S.A.
Creators: name: McKervey, John Antony
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: The rocks of the Challis Volcanic Group, Idaho are investigated and constraints on their petrogenesis used to evaluate the tectonic control on the formation of early, extensionassociated magmatism in the western U. S. A. New and published 40Ar-39Ar analyses indicate that the rocks of the Challis Volcanic Group erupted between ~50 and 45 Ma at extrusion rates estimated at 0.01 to 0.03 km3 yr-1. The rocks have high-K calcalkaline/ shoshonitic compositions and incompatible trace element analyses show them to be LILE and LREE enriched ((La/Yb) ~7 to 20) but relatively depleted in Nb, Ta and Ti (e. g. Nb/La < 0.5 in the main). All rocks have high initial 87Sr/86Sr (0.70673 to 0.71135) and low 143Nd/144Nd (0.51151 to 0.51234) ratios in comparison to oceanic basalts. The rocks are interpreted to result from partial melting in both spinel and garnet facies of heterogeneousm, ajor elementd epleted,L REE enriched but Nb, Ta and Ti depletedp eridotite source regions in the lithospheric mantle. The origin of these LREE enriched source regions is most probably related to mantle metasomatism in a subduction zone tectonic setting, although the' age of these events are not constrained. The petrogenesis of the Challis Volcanic Group is broadly similar to early magmatism from areas of the Cordillera to the south (e. g. Colorado River Trough), but contrasts with areas to the north where crustal melting apparently dominates (e. g. northern Idaho: Omineca Belt). Thus it is suggested that the syn-compression thermal history of the Cordillera, immediately prior to extension and early magmatism, varies significantly between southern and northern Idaho. This variation correlates spatially with the northern limit of compression within the Laramide Foreland Province (~75 to 45/30 Ma). Compressional deformation within the Laramide Foreland Province may be coincident with a period of sub-horizontal subduction and therefore partial melting of the mantle lithosphere may be related to the removal of this subducted slab from beneath the lithosphere, although this remains poorly constrained. A comparison is made between the Challis Volcanic Group and Archaean sanukitoids, to suggest that the Tertiary rocks may provide a tectonomagmatic analogue for these particular late Archaean rocks. The implications of this comparison for late Archaean tectonics and crustal growth are discussed.

description: Context: Variations in the mass accretion rate appear to be responsible for the rapid transitions in spectral type that are observed in increasingly more active galactic nuclei (AGNs). These objects are now labeled "changing-look" AGNs and are key objects for understanding the physics of accretion onto supermassive black holes. Aims: We aim to complement the analysis and interpretation of changing-look AGNs by modeling the polarization variations that can be observed, in particular, polarized-light echoes. Methods: We built a complex and representative model of an AGN and its host galaxy and ran radiative transfer simulations to obtain realistic time-dependent polarization signatures of changing-look objects. Based on actual data, we allowed the system to become several times fainter or brighter within a few years, assuming a rapid change in accretion rate. Results: We obtain time-dependent polarization signatures of distant high-luminosity (quasars) and nearby low-luminosity (Seyferts) changing-look AGNs for a representative set of inclinations. We predict the evolution of the continuum polarization for future polarimetric campaigns with the goal to better understand the physics at work in these objects. We also investigate highly inclined AGNs that experience strong accretion rate variations without appearing to change state. We apply our modeling to Mrk 1018, the best-documented case of a changing-look AGN, and predict a variation in its polarization after the recent dimming of its continuum.

title: Factors affecting the development of sophisticated database marketing systems.
Creators: name: Lewington, John Alfred.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: In the late 1980s, companies in a wide variety of industries began to implement segmented marketing strategies using database marketing (DBM) systems. Several surveys noted that some organisations were developing sophisticated DBM systems to achieve competitive advantage, while others, in similar marketplaces, seemed unable, or unwilling, to exploit the potential benefits of these powerful systems. Alternatively, evidence from industrial reports suggested that most companies were failing to fully exploit the capabilities oftheir systems. Hence, this research was designed to determine the factors affecting levels of sophistication in database marketing (DBM) systems. First, theories from marketing and information systems were synthesised to develop a generic model of DBM systems. Next, notions about the sources of competitive advantage were reviewed to identify potential factors promoting the development of sophisticated DBM systems. This review resulted in four such factors being hypothesised: market orientation as a specific organisation culture, database size (i.e. number of customers) as a key resource, locus of control of the senior marketing manager as an important individual characteristic, and the difference between consumer and business markets as a factor in firms' external environment. Empirical data were collected from two random samples of senior marketing managers in US catalogue companies using postal surveys. Data from the first sample (36 observations) were used to develop a valid and reliable construct to measure the level of sophistication in DBM systems. Further data were collected from a second random sample using two further postal surveys (69 observations), which confirmed and replicated the results obtained from the first sample. Overall, the research findings show that the development of sophisticated DBM systems is positively associated with two factors: market orientation of organisation culture, and database size. The other two factors - locus of control and type of market - failed to show any association with the level of sophistication in DBM systems. Further data analyses revealed a strong association between the elements of sophisticated OBM systems and marketing notions of sources of competitive advantage.

description: Important discoveries have frequently been made through the studies of matter under high pressure. The conditions of the pressure environment are important for the interpretation of the experimental results. Due to various restrictions inside the pressure cell, detailed information relevant to the pressure environment, such as the pressure distribution, can be hard to obtain experimentally. Here we present the study of pressure distributions inside the pressure medium under different experimental conditions with NV centers in diamond particles as the sensor. These studies not only show a good spatial resolution, wide temperature and pressure working ranges, compatibility of the existing pressure cell design with the new method, but also demonstrate the usefulness to measure with these sensors as the pressure distribution is sensitive to various factors. The method and the results will benefit many disciplines such as material research and phase transitions in fluid dynamics.

description: Geophysikalische Untersuchungen im Gebiet der Grube Messel (25km südlich von Frankfurt) ließen schon vor einigen Jahren eine Maar-Diatrem-Struktur im Untergrund vermuten. Jedoch erst die gekernte Forschungsbohrung im Jahr 2001 bewies die Existenz eines durch phreatomagmatische Eruptionen gekennzeichneten Maar- Vulkans, der vor ca. 48Ma aktiv war. Neben den berühmten fossilreichen Ölschiefern wurde im Teufenbereich zwischen −240m und −370m unter der Erdoberfläche vulkaniklastisches Material entdeckt. Unterhalb des so genannten Lapillituffs wurden bis zur Endteufe von −433m Gesteine der Diatrem-Brekzie erbohrt. Um das schwer differenzierbare, vulkanische Gestein in situ detaillierter untersuchen zu können, sind gesteinsmagnetische Messungen besonders wertvoll. Hierbei kann die magnetische Suszeptibilität (MS), die Magnetisierbarkeit eines Gesteins, für quantitative und qualitative Analysen sehr hilfreich sein. Die juvenilen Lapilli, an die die ferrimagnetischen Minerale bzw. die magnetischen Träger gebunden sind, sind dabei von besonderem Interesse. Bildanalytische Auswertungen sowohl an Kernen als auch an Dünnschliffen dienen dabei zur Interpretation des Suszeptibilitätslogs der durchgeführten Bohrlochmessungen. In dieser Studie ist weiterhin ein besonderes Augenmerk dem magnetischen Gefüge der Vulkaniklastika verliehen. Dabei liefern Messungen der Anisotropie der magnetischen Suszeptibilität (AMS) Informationen über die räumliche Anordnung der magnetischen Minerale (Foliation und Lineation) und offenbaren dadurch interne Strukturen des Gesteins.

description: A third post-Newtonian (3 PN) equation of motion for an inspiralling binary consisting of two spherical compact stars with strong internal gravity is derived under harmonic coordinate condition using the strong field point particle limit. The equation of motion is complete in a sense that it is Lorentz invariant in the post-Newtonian perturbative sense, admits conserved energy of the orbital motion, and is unambiguous, that is, with no undetermined coefficient. In this paper, we show explicit expressions of the 3 PN equation of motion and an energy of the binary orbital motion in case of the circular orbit (neglecting the 2.5 PN radiation reaction effect) and in the center of the mass frame. It is argued that the 3 PN equation of motion we obtained is physically unambiguous. Full details will be reported elsewhere.

description: Between 1889 and 1918, over 11,000 persons were convicted and sentenced to hard labour in Florida's convict lease camps located in piney woods and next to phosphate mines, and run by private contractors who leased state prisoners to ensure a steady and cheap labour force. Before the introduction of probation and parole in the twentieth century, there were four routes to freedom from Florida's prison system: expiration of sentence, death, escape and pardon. This study focuses on the pardon route. Florida's State Board of Pardons was a constitutional creation empowered to commute punishments, grant pardons and restore civil rights to convicted felons and misdemeanants. The Board was a necessary component of the state's criminal justice apparatus in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries due to the general inadequacy of the penal arrangements and the discretionary nature of the criminal justice system. While pardon was intended as an extraordinary device rather than a regular or ordinary release procedure, between 1889 and 1918, pardon in Florida was in effect a regular releasing device for a significant minority of offenders, and a substitute for parole. Pardon board records show how the culture and prejudices of a society, in this case Florida society, continued to affect offenders even after conviction. Constructions of criminal behaviour, based on community prejudices and the attitudes of the pardoning board members themselves, informed decisions to grant or withhold clemency to offenders convicted of the sexual and interpersonal violence offences which are the focus of this study. Letters from prisoners and supporters, petitions and endorsements addressed to the Board of Pardons, the Governor or other individual Board members, and attorneys provide important insights into class, race and gender relations in Florida in a period of significant economic and political change.

description: Doping is an effective way to tune the property of metal oxides1-5, for achieving functional oxide electronics6-8. Previously we developed a controllable hydrogen doping technology at ambient conditions by use of electron-proton synergistic doping strategy, which enables one to get rid of high-temperature/pressure treatments required by traditional technologies9. Here, based on this facile doping route, we achieve a visual and reversible insulator-metal transition (MIT) for tungsten trioxide (WO3) film. Its outstanding spatial selection is comparable to standard UV lithography, which shows the potential of becoming a viable way for rewritable WO3 grating device fabrication. Furthermore, the period of the obtained WO3 structural grating can also be easily changed for requirement by doping area selection. This advanced doping technology opens up alternative approaches for developing not only optical devices, but also rewritable ions devices and integrated circuits for various oxide electronics.

Nitrogen contents of raw peeled tubers were between 0.82 to 1.57% giving crude protein yields of 71-540 Kg/ha, or about twice as much as sweet potatoes (Ipomoea spp.) when grown under similar conditions in Tonga.

description: During 1989-90, 49 cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) accessions including introductions and local varieties were evaluated for yield and a series of agronomic traits at the Isabela farm of the USDA-ARS, Tropical Agriculture Research Station. Accessions with outstanding yield were: Venezolana, Llanera, PI 12903, PI 9581, SD2, and Mc 22 with yields of 24.0, 21.3, 20.7, 20.0, 18.7, and 17.3 t/ha, respectively. Accessions with outstanding dry matter content (over 30%) and their culinary quality were also identified. Most of the accessions had a harvest index of less that 50% except accession MC 22 (52%). Results suggest that cassava production in Puerto Rico could increase if farmers adopt superior cultivars.
Macroalgae as microhabitat : seaweed traits and wave action as predictors of invertebrate epifaunal diversity
Creators: name: Bates, Colin Robert

description: In many coastal environments, anthropogenic stressors yield changes in seaweed biodiversity. Here, I describe three studies addressing how such floristic changes might affect provision of habitat by seaweeds for small mobile invertebrate epifauna. In chapter 2, I used observational and manipulative (transplant) experiments to test how changes in seaweed biodiversity influenced biodiversity of associated invertebrates. I found that invertebrate epifaunal richness and abundance were not affected by changes in seaweed biodiversity. Invertebrate assemblage structure was, in most cases, not influenced by changes in seaweed composition; only when algal assemblages were composed of monocultures of species with 'foliose' morphologies did I observe a change in invertebrate assemblage structure. Correlations between algal functional composition and invertebrate assemblage structure were observed, but not between algal species composition and invertebrate assemblage structure. These results suggest that changes in seaweed biodiversity will have implications for invertebrate epifauna only under specific scenarios of algal change. In Chapter 3, I tested the performance of host taxonomic relatedness and functional (i.e. morphological) group affiliation as predictors of associated invertebrate epifauna. Neither general framework performed well; invertebrate assemblages found on congeneric host species were as similar as those found on hosts classified in different kingdoms, and taxon richness and abundance of invertebrates varied substantially within seaweed functional groups. Species identity was identified as a key predictor of the performance of seaweeds as hosts for invertebrate epifauna. In chapter 4, I examined the context dependence of these host identity effects by testing how host morphological complexity and maximum wave velocity interacted to determine local invertebrate diversity. Three types of host species were identified: (a) morphologically `simple' thalli that were minimally utilized as habitat under any of the tested wave regimes, (b) thalli that were coarsely branched and were utilized by invertebrates under relatively benign wave conditions but became less utilized under higher wave action, and (c) 'complex' algal hosts that supported diverse invertebrate assemblages under all tested wave conditions. Together, these studies support the view that invertebrates that use seaweeds as habitat are host-generalists, and therefore consequences for invertebrates of changes in seaweed biodiversity are likely to be minimal.

description: O presente trabalho dissertativo aborda a importância do afroperspectivismo e da intersubjetivação como referenciais para uma educação antirracista brasileira na contemporaneidade, trazendo como base argumentativa elementos teóricos dispostos: (a) no aporte de filósofos africanos — Castiano, Oruka, Cheik Anta Diop, Aimé Cesaire, Ramose e Towa, dentre outros autores afrodiaspóricos — que forneceram subsídios para o processo de descolonização do pensamento tradicional eurocêntrico; (b) na contribuição de filósofos brasileiros — Adilbênia F. Machado, Gilberto F. da Silva, João Alberto S. Munsberg, Luís Thiago F. Dantas e Renato Noguera — , além do peruano Aníbal Quijano e do estadunidense Molefi K. Asante, que se debruçaram na reflexão da afrocentricidade como paradigma imprescindível para o desenvolvimento de um currículo pluriétnico e de práxis pedagógicas de enfrentamento ao racismo, especialmente o antinegro; (c) na apresentação de intervenções realizadas em sala de aula e de seus resultados como possibilidade de transgressão curricular para superação dos entraves oriundos da influência cultural eurocêtrica, racista e excludente. A pesquisa se apresenta com a característica de uma investigação qualitativa teórica e quantitativa, preocupada em retratar a complexidade do problema do racismo antinegro com o objetivo de proporcionar práxis pedagógicas pautadas na intersubjetivação e na afroperspectiva filosófica para uma educação antirracista, problematizando qualquer ideia preconcebida que favoreça intolerâncias, exclusões e atitudes racistas no ambiente escolar e na sociedade contemporânea. Nesse sentido, parte-se da contribuição de uma filosofia desde a África para uma descolonização epistêmica da atividade filosófica, indicando caminhos importantes frente aos desafios da Filosofia Africana: (a) o desenvolvimento de uma crítica às epistemologias e aos currículos eurocêntricos; (b) a descolonização curricular e metodológica como forma de descentralização filosófica e epistêmica; (c) a criação e aplicação de práxis pedagógicas que visem a interculturalidade nos referenciais da Filosofia Africana; (d) a introdução da intersubjetivação e do afroperspectivismo como práxis pedagógica curricular capaz de promover uma educação antirracista; (e) formação inicial e continuada dos docentes associada ao incentivo dos mesmos para que assumam um perfil afroperspectivista. Os referenciais da intersubjetivação e do afroperspectivismo no currículo brasileiro são indicados como caminhos para a construção de uma educação baseada na cultura da paz, do respeito às diferenças e da mediação de conflitos.

description: Tanier (Xanthosoma sagittifolium), the second most important root crop in Puerto Rico, has undergone yield decline in recent years due to a root rot syndrome locally known as "Mai Seco". Water management patterns may play a major role in the development of this syndrome since pathogenic microorganisms and physiological activities of plants are affected by the availability of water. Three experiments at different water levels were established in a Coto clay soil (Tropeptic Eutrustox) using tanier cultivar Alela. Experiment A consisted of soil saturation, B temporary interruption of irrigation, and C the combined effects of drought and flooding. An inverse linear tendency was found between water levels and severity of "Mai Seco" but not on yield. No significant tendencies were observed for interrupted irrigation or combined effects of drought and flooding on "Mai Seco" and yield. A good water management preventing moisture stress may reduce dry root rot while periodic drought may enhance this condition.
title: An investigation into the novel application of high power ultrasound on the deinking of mixed office waste paper

description: The current paper recycling processes are surveyed pointing out the major stages and the variety of chemical/mechanical treatments the fibres undergo. The reduction or replacement of chemical/mechanical treatments presents possible advantages in prolonging fibre life. The results from recycled office waste which has been treated with ultrasound show a change in the particle size distribution of toner particles - making these particles easier to remove using established flotation techniques. Particle size distributions were measured using image analysis on thin (20gsm) paper handsheets. To establish the affect of sonication on fibres, a variety of virgin fibres were obtained from UK Paper, Sittingbourne. Results from virgin fibres which have been treated using ultrasound indicate an absence of cutting compared to conventional techniques. Fibres were found to have the same average length (0.6mm) after ultrasound treatment as the control sample, refined fibres were reduced to approximately 0.3 mm in length. Freeness decreased in both virgin sonicated and refined sonicated samples. The decrease in freeness was accompanied by an increase in the strength properties of both categories of fibres. Experiments with a prepared office waste furnish showed that ultrasonic treatment could decrease the size distribution of fused toner particles. The control sample had an average size of 80.9 um, after 1 minute sonication this was decreased to 54.9) um, decreasing further to 46.8)um after 2 minutes sonication. After demonstrating that ultrasound could decrease the particle distribution of the prepared office waste a more realistic and variable furnish was used. The experiments were conducted at room temperature, 50°C and 75°C. These temperatures were chosen to study the behaviour of fused toners as it approaches and exceeds its glass transition point, essentially the melting point of an amorphous polymer. It was found that the toner is easier to remove as the glass transition temperature is approached. Ultrasound is effective in breaking up large toner particles and detaching particles smaller than 25 microns in diameter.

description: We present an N_t=4 lattice study for the equation of state of 2+1 flavour staggered, dynamical QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential. We use the overlap improving multi-parameter reweighting technique to extend the equation of state for non-vanishing chemical potentials. The results are obtained on the line of constant physics and our physical parameters extend in temperature and baryon chemical potential upto \approx 500-600 MeV.

description: This thesis will examine the interdependent relationship of drugs, border security, and sovereignty following the 1991 collapse of communism in Russia and the 2001 US-led overthrow of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Regime changes, particularly in Russia, led to a sharp decline in state revenues and subsequent loss of capacity to adequately fund border control institutions. The decline of border control mechanisms resulted in porous borders and fewer barriers for narcotics traffickers. In turn, drug traffickers weakened border security institutions through the corruption and co-optation of border guards. The thesis will use a historical case study analysis of Ekaterinburg and draw on data from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, World Bank, and Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. The study will conclude with a discussion of the concept of the sovereignty, and how trans-border phenomena, such as the drug trade, pose a challenge for territorial-based definitions of sovereignty.

description: A parametric numerical study of three-dimensional instability of steady flows in a helical pipe of arbitrary curvature and torsion is carried out. The computations are performed by a numerical approach verified against independent experimental and numerical results in a previous study. The results are reported as dependences of the critical Reynolds number, critical wavenumber and the critical frequency on the dimensionless pipe curvature and torsion. A multiplicity of different disturbance modes becoming most unstable at different values of the governing parameters, is observed. Patterns of the most unstable modes are reported and classified. Different routes to instability including viscous and inviscid mechanisms, locally developing boundary and mixing layers, interaction between the Dean vortices and the through flow are described.
