description: Persistent toxic substances have been identified as a problem in the aquatic environment because of their unique chemical characteristics. Heavy metals are a good example of persistent toxic substances. The presence of heavy metals in fresh water poses a threat to human health, the viability of certain industries, and the stability of aquatic ecosystems. This Master's Degree Project examines the ability of institutional frameworks to control the pollution of fresh water by heavy metals, given their unique characteristics as persistent toxic substances and their release from both point and non-point sources. The metals examined are cadmium, lead, and mercury. The institutional frameworks of the federal government and the provincial governments of Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario are reviewed with respect to policy instruments and management approaches. This review is based on the issues identified from an examination of the chemical characteristics of cadmium, lead, and mercury in fresh water and aquatic ecosystems, and of the point and non-point sources of metals to the aquatic environment. The review identifies the following issues as important to the management of persistent toxic substances: a lack of policy specific to persistent toxic substances; limited ecosystem monitoring; misapplication of assimilative capacity; a need for zero discharge and ecosystem management approaches; and the need to integrate human health issues into water quality management frameworks.

description: Socio-political theatre attempts to present serious social issues to an audience in a way that will encourage that audience to examine its own attitude and behaviour toward the problem. It is usually the intent of the performers that the social problem illuminated by the theatre piece will be eradicated or at least some action will be initiated because of the change in attitude of the audience viewing the work. Since the beginning of English theatre in the medieval churches, theatre has been used to teach. In that context, the stories central to the message of the death and resurrection of Christ were enacted so that the Latin liturgy might be understood on a deeper, more emotional level by people who might not gain the same spiritual enlightenment from the liturgy itself. At its best, theatre teaches while it entertains and moves, and is thus well suited to illuminating subjects normally difficult to tackle. In this study, I look at the work of three theatre companies who have addressed the problem of child sexual abuse and its prevention. Illusion Theatre in Minneapolis began the first sexual abuse prevention project in 1977. Green Thumb Theatre in Vancouver created a personal safety project called Feeling Yes, Feeling No in 1981. Quest Theatre in Calgary produced the Green Thumb project twice, in 1986 and in 1987. Also in the seventies and eighties, British Theatre In Education companies explored the possibilities for using theatre to examine sensitive community issues in schools. They have a support organization called the Standing Conference on Young Peoples' Theatre (SCYPT) which encourages debate among members on issues of theoretical and practical concern. At their conference in Wolverhampton, England in 1987, many of their members actively debated how best to incorporate the ideas of dramatist Augusto Boal and curriculum theorist Paulo Friere into their work. Advocates of socio-political theatre and educators hoping to support a new pedagogy which might change the social system are looking for innovative teaching methods in many parts of the world. This study attempts to answer important questions about the possibility for social change through theatre projects, and the nature of the collaborative and creative processes necessary to make the projects successful. It also attempts to consider what conditions could encourage the growth of socio-political theatre projects for young people in Alberta.

Massless bound-state excitations and the Schwinger mechanism in QCD

description: The gauge invariant generation of an effective gluon mass proceeds through the well-known Schwinger mechanism, whose key dynamical ingredient is the nonperturbative formation of longitudinally coupled massless bound-state excitations. These excitations introduce poles in the vertices of the theory, in such a way as to maintain the Slavnov-Taylor identities intact in the presence of massive gluon propagators. In the present work we first focus on the modifications induced to the nonperturbative three-gluon vertex by the inclusion of massless two-gluon bound-states into the kernels appearing in its skeleton-expansion. Certain general relations between the basic building blocks of these bound-states and the gluon mass are then obtained from the Slavnov-Taylor identities and the Schwinger-Dyson equation governing the gluon propagator. The homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter equation determining the wave-function of the aforementioned bound state is then derived, under certain simplifying assumptions. It is then shown, through a detailed analytical and numerical study, that this equation admits non-trivial solutions, indicating that the QCD dynamics support indeed the formation of such massless bound states. These solutions are subsequently used, in conjunction with the aforementioned relations, to determine the momentum-dependence of the dynamical gluon mass. Finally, further possibilities and open questions are briefly discussed.

Resistivity Calculations for Cuprate Superconductor Systems using an Electronic Phase Separation

description: The resistivity as function of temperature of high temperature superconductors is very unusual and despite its importance lacks an unified theoretical explanation. It is linear with the temperature for overdoped compounds but it falls more quickly as the doping level decreases, and for weakly doped samples it has a minimum, increases like an insulator before it drops to zero at low temperatures. We show that this overall behavior can be explained by calculations using an electronic phase segregation into two main component phases with low and high densities. The total resistivity is calculated by the various contributions through several random picking processes of the local resistivities and using the Random Resistor Network approach.

description: In the past few years, gamma-ray astronomy has entered a golden age. At TeV energies, only a handful of sources were known a decade ago, but the current generation of ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes has increased this number to more than one hundred. At GeV energies, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has increased the number of known sources by nearly an order of magnitude in its first 2 years of operation. The recent detection and unprecedented morphological studies of gamma-ray emission from shell-type supernova remnants is of great interest, as these analyses are directly linked to the long standing issue of the origin of the cosmic-rays. However, these detections still do not constitute a conclusive proof that supernova remnants accelerate the bulk of Galactic cosmic-rays, mainly due to the difficulty of disentangling the hadronic and leptonic contributions to the observed gamma-ray emission. In this talk, I will review the most relevant cosmic ray related results of gamma ray astronomy concerning supernova remnants.

description: Using the atomistic nonequilibrium Green's function, we find that thermal conductance of carbon nanotubes with presence of topological lattice imperfects is remarkably reduced, due to the strong Rayleigh scattering of high-frequency phonons. Phonon transmission across multiple defects behaves as a cascade scattering based with the random phase approximation. We elucidate that phonon scattering by structural defects is related to the spatial fluctuations of local vibrational density of states (LVDOS). An effective method of tuning thermal transport in low-dimensional systems through the modulation of LVDOS has been proposed. Our findings provide insights into experimentally controlling thermal transport in nanoscale devices

Im Fokus der dritten Befragungswelle im Juli und August 2020 standen, neben den Ängsten und Sorgen, Schwierigkeiten und Bewältigungskapzitäten der Befragten. Zusätzlich wurde erhoben, wie die Menschen sich nach eigenen Angaben verhielten, wie sie verschiedene Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Virus beurteilten, wie sehr sie verschiedenen Akteur*innen vertrauten und wie sie die gesamtgesellschaftlichen Bewältigungskompetenzen einschätzten. Neben standardisierten Fragen wurde eine Vielzahl an offenen Fragen eingespeist, um die quantitativen Daten zu qualifizieren und einen vertieften Einblick in die Sorgen und Wahrnehmungen der Menschen zu gewinnen. Des Weiteren wurden Fragen zum Urlaubsreiseverhalten und dem Umgang mit Informationen gestellt.
description: Since the end of March 2020, the Disaster Research Unit (DRU) has been regulary conducting Germany-wide population surveys on the perception of the infectious disease COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen in Germany. The third survey round in July and August 2020 focused on the respondents' fears and concerns as well as their challenges and coping capacities. Furthermore, the survey asked how people said they behaved, how they evaluated various measures to contain the virus, how much they trusted various actors, and how they assessed society's overall coping abilities. In addition to standardized questions, a large number of open-ended questions were included to qualify the quantitative data and to gain a deeper insight into people's concerns and perceptions. The survey also included questions about vacation travel plans and information usage.

description: The coexistence of Planck and Fermi satellites in orbit has enabled the exploration of the connection between the (sub-)millimeter and gamma-ray emission in a large sample of blazars. We find that the gamma-ray emission and the (sub-)mm luminosities are correlated over five orders of magnitude. However, this correlation is not significant at some frequency bands when simultaneous observations are considered. The most significant statistical correlations, on the other hand, arise when observations are quasi-simultaneous within 2 months. Moreover, we find that sources with an approximate spectral turnover in the middle of the mm-wave regime are more likely to be strong gamma-ray emitters. These results suggest a physical relation between the newly injected plasma components in the jet and the high levels of gamma-ray emission.

description: This Master's Degree Project examines the relationship between designer and patron in urban design history. It is hypothesized that modern societal forces have placed the users of urban design in the position of patron. The implication of this development is that systematic methods of involving the user in the process of urban design must be developed. A number of existing participatory design techniques are reviewed and reasons for the lack of their acceptance -- in practice – are discussed. The assertion is then made that, for genuine design participation to occur, an opportunity must exist for the patron/user to exercise influence in the urban design process. A correlative condition of this is that to achieve meaningful, and therefore satisfactory urban designs, the tastes, values, and perceptions of the user have to be consulted and respected. The Repertory Grid Technique is recommended as a useful means of achieving mutual influence between designer and patron/user. Collaboration, as defined by the proponents of organizational development, describes the transactional influence encouraged through this employment of the Repertory Grid Technique. Finally, the Repertory Grid Technique, and how it might be applied in urban design is demonstrated utilizing an actual design project undertaken by the City of Calgary. _x000D_ Key Words: urban design, design participation, personal construct theory, repertory grid technique
Universality of the self gravitational potential energy of any fundamental particle

description: Using the relation proposed by Weinberg in 1972, combining quantum and cosmological parameters, we prove that the self gravitational potential energy of any fundamental particle is a quantum, with physical properties independent of the mass of the particle. It is a universal quantum of gravitational energy, and its physical properties depend only on the cosmological scale factor R and the physical constants \hbar and c. We propose a modification of the Weinberg's relation, keeping the same numerical value, but substituting the cosmological parameter H/c by 1/R.

description: We present recent Hubble Space Telescope observations of the inner filament of Centaurus A, using the new Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) $F225W, F657N$ and $F814W$ filters. We find a young stellar population near the south-west tip of the filament. Combining the WFC3 dataset with archival Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) $F606W$ observations, we are able to constrain the ages of these stars to <=10 Myrs, with best-fit ages of 1-4 Myrs. No further recent star-formation is found along the filament. Based on the location and age of this stellar population, and the fact that there is no radio lobe or jet activity near the star-formation, we propose an updated explanation for the origin of the inner filament. Sutherland et al. (1993) suggested that radio jet-induced shocks can drive the observed optical line emission. We argue that such shocks can naturally arise due to a weak cocoon-driven bow shock (rather than from the radio jet directly), propagating through the diffuse interstellar medium from a location near the inner northern radio lobe. The shock can overrun a molecular cloud, triggering star-formation in the dense molecular cores. Ablation and shock heating of the diffuse gas then gives rise to the observed optical line and X-ray emission. Deeper X-ray observations should show more diffuse emission along the filament.

description: The Trebble-Bishnoi Equation of State is a four-parameter cubic equation which was developed to provide improved PVT predictions for both polar and non-polar compounds. In this work the Trebble-Bishnoi equation is used in examining the quality of two-phase vapour-liquid equilibrium predictions for 21 binary systems and three ternary systems. Three phase vapour-liquid- liquid equilibrium was also examined for one ternary system. Optimized binary interaction coefficients to be used with this equation were determined for the 21 binary systems.
Militancy to passivism: the Calgary labour movement, 1919-1924

description: This thesis examines the nature of the Calgary labour movement, and its behaviour on the industrial front, in the years following the First World War. In the opening section, the favourable urban and social environment that existed and the highly developed state of local labour organization are discussed. Then, an in-depth analysis of the mild form of labour radicalism that prevailed in Calgary in 1919 is provided. It was found that the majority of organized labour did not approve of the radical One Big Union movement or the local sympathy walkout in support of the Winnipeg General Strike. The unique combination of local conditions and the heavy influence of conservative American craft internationals largely ensured that Calgary labour did not adopt any extremely militant or revolutionary tendencies in 1919. Finally, this study reveals the Calgary labour movement's increasing passivity and its feeble retreat from the industrial arena during the 1920-24 period. Even when confronted with harsh wage rollbacks in the depression years of 1921-22, the organized labour force presented little industrial resistance. By 1924, Calgary labour were even more quiescent on the industrial battleground. The disruptive radical activities of 1919, followed by the depression and the massive wage-cutting drive had, in essence, served to quell the resistance of organized labour.

description: By applying Seifert's algorithm to a special alternating diagram of a link L, one obtains a Seifert surface F of L. We show that the support of the sutured Floer homology of the sutured manifold complementary to F is affine isomorphic to the set of lattice points given as hypertrees in a certain hypergraph that is naturally associated to the diagram. This implies that the Floer groups in question are supported in a set of Spin^c structures that are the integer lattice points of a convex polytope. This property has an immediate extension to Seifert surfaces arising from homogeneous link diagrams (including all alternating and positive diagrams). In another direction, together with work in progress of the second author and others, our correspondence suggests a method for computing the "top" coefficients of the HOMFLY polynomial of a special alternating link from the sutured Floer homology of a Seifert surface complement for a certain dual link.

description: Pyspeckit is a toolkit for the analysis of already-reduced spectra. It grew out

of a need to do a really simple task, fitting a gaussian to part of a spectrum,

and mild rage against the old tools that were inadequate for various reasons.

Pyspeckit was not the only tool of its type created at the time, but it was

among the first in its class and is still in widespread use. Since it was

started before astropy, the package has undergone slow but significant internal

changes to keep up with the astropy environment. I will present a developer's

perspective on developing and maintaining the toolkit and some viewpoints on

the astronomer community using it.

description: A novel approach to entanglement, based on the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal (GNS) construction, is introduced. It considers states as well as algebras of observables on an equal footing. The conventional approach to the emergence of mixed from pure ones based on taking partial traces is replaced by the more general notion of the restriction of a state to a subalgebra. For bipartite systems of nonidentical particles, this approach reproduces the standard results. But it also very naturally overcomes the limitations of the usual treatment of systems of identical particles. This GNS approach seems very general and can be applied for example to systems obeying para- and braid- statistics including anyons.

description: This study proposes a design strategy for the redevelopment of the "East Village", a deteriorated area of Calgary's inner city, as a residential neighbourhood. Using eighteen architectural drawings, a conceptual neighbourhood site plan is presented and the schematic design of a mixed-use commercial and residential building - developed to illustrate the overall design principles. The accompanying document discusses these principles and their derivation from an investigation of the North American phenomenon of downtown rejuvenation as well as of the idea of the inner city "neighbourhood", specifically in the Calgary context. An historical overview of multiple family and mixed-use building types and a review of local precedents provides additional inspiration for the design decisions. This information, together with careful analysis of the site itself and of its existing and projected population, results in a design which is intended to encourage the evolution of an intimately scaled residential quarter housing a diversity of uses and users. The proposed building typopology is street- oriented and block-edging, and the site plan emphasizes the creation of a defined public realm and the provision of a number of key community amenities. The bibliography list works on urban design . and the history, theory and behavioral and social aspects of multiple family housing design.

description: We report on the fabrication and measurement of a graphene tunnel junction using hexagonal-boron nitride as a tunnel barrier between graphene and a metal gate. The tunneling behavior into graphene is altered by the interactions with phonons and the presence of disorder. We extract prop- erties of graphene and observe multiple phonon-enhanced tunneling thresholds. Finally, differences in the measured properties of two devices are used to shed light on mutually-contrasting previous results of scanning tunneling microscopy in graphene.

description: Supernovae play an integral role in the feedback of processed material into the ISM of galaxies and are responsible for much of the chemical enrichment of the universe. The rate of supernovae can also reveal the star formation histories. Supernova rates are usually measured through the non-thermal radio continuum luminosity; however, a correlation between near-infrared [FeII] emission and supernova remnants has also been noted. We aim to find a quantitative relationship between the [FeII] at 1.26 um ([FeII]$_{1.26}$) luminosity and supernova rate in a sample of 11 near-by starburst galaxy centers. We perform a pixel-pixel analysis of this correlation on SINFONI data cubes. Using Br$γ$ equivalent width and luminosity as the only observational inputs into the Starburst 99 model, we derive the supernova rate at each pixel and thus create maps of supernova rates. We then compare these morphologically and quantitatively to the [FeII]$_{1.26}$ luminosity. We have found that a strong linear and morphological correlation exists between supernova rate and [FeII]$_{1.26}$ on a pixel-pixel basis: \[ log\frac{ν_{SNrate}}{yr^{-1}pc^{-2}} = 1.01 \pm 0.2\ast log\frac{[FeII]_{1.26}}{erg s^{-1}pc^{-2}} - 41.17 \pm 0.9\] This relation is valid for normal star forming galaxies but breaks down for extreme ultra luminous galaxies. The supernova rates derived from the Starburst 99 model are in good agreement with the radio-derived supernova rates, which underlines the strength of using [FeII] emission as a tracer of supernova rate. With the strong correlation found in this sample of galaxies, we conclude that [FeII]$_{1.26}$ emission can be generally used to derive accurate supernova rates on either a pixel-pixel or integrated galactic basis.

description: Correlations are a very important tool in the study of multipartite systems, both for classical and quantum ones. The discussion about the quantum nature of correlations permeates Physics since Einstein, Podolski and Rosen published their famous article criticizing quantum mechanics. Here we provide a short review about the quantum nature of correlations, discussing both its theoretical and experimental aspects. We focus on quantum discord and related measures. After discussing their fundamental aspects (theoretically and experimentally), we proceed by analysing the dynamical behaviour of correlations under decoherence as well as some applications in different scenarios, such as quantum computation and relativity, passing through critical and biological systems.

Space Debris

description: Orbital debris is becoming an increasing problem for space flight missions. New satellite launches, explosions, collisions and other events cause a steady rise in the number of objects orbiting the Earth. It is therefore important to determine the future development of the object population, as well as the ectiveness of debris mitigation measures, in long-term simulations. Orbital propagation, the calculation of an object’s movement in its orbit, poses a challenge for this research due to the high computation times of the complex perturbation models involved. Sophisticated analytical methods exist that are able to propagate an object in mere milliseconds per time step, including perturbations from atmospheric drag, the Earth’s uneven gravitational field, third bodies and solar radiation pressure. However, due to the high population sizes of hundreds of thousands of objects as well as simulation time frames of up to 200 years, these calculations can still take up hours of computation time. To speed up this process, the analytical propagator Ikebana is introduced in this thesis. It was programmed to run on graphics processing units (GPUs), hardware designed for massively parallel execution of up to thousands of concurrent threads. This reduces the overall run time for large object populations from hours to minutes. Porting software from a conventional CPU is not a trivial task and involves a number of potential pitfalls and optimization opportunities which are detailed in this work. The propagator is integrated into other applications via a generic, multi-platform interface specifically designed for this task. It allows to develop the propagator separately and integrate it into other tools as a plugin at run time. The interface’s architecture serves as a design template for analytical propagation software. It also features automated mechanisms that facilitate the development of GPU-based propagators which compute the motion of large object numbers in parallel. As an exemplary application that uses Ikebana as a plugin, the space debris visualization tool DOCTOR is introduced. Its real-time propagation requirements and use of the graphics processor were the sparks that started this research. With the parallelized propagator integrated via the generic interface, the software is able to fluently animate populations of hundreds of thousands of objects while taking into account all relevant perturbations.

Numerical convergence in self-gravitating shearing sheet simulations and the stochastic nature of disc fragmentation

description: We study numerical convergence in local two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of self-gravitating accretion discs with a simple cooling law. It is well-known that there exists a steady gravito-turbulent state, in which cooling is balanced by dissipation of weak shocks, with a net outward transport of angular momentum. Previous results indicated that if cooling is too fast (typical time scale 3/Omega, where Omega is the local angular velocity), this steady state can not be maintained and the disc will fragment into gravitationally bound clumps. We show that, in the two-dimensional local approximation, this result is in fact not converged with respect to numerical resolution and longer time integration. Irrespective of the cooling time scale, gravito-turbulence consists of density waves as well as transient clumps. These clumps will contract because of the imposed cooling, and collapse into bound objects if they can survive for long enough. Since heating by shocks is very local, the destruction of clumps is a stochastic process. High numerical resolution and long integration times are needed to capture this behaviour. We have observed fragmentation for cooling times up to 20/Omega, almost a factor 7 higher than in previous simulations. Fully three-dimensional simulations with a more realistic cooling prescription are necessary to determine the effects of the use of the two-dimensional approximation and a simple cooling law.

description: The notion of distance between a global Maxwellian function and an arbitrary solution $f$ (with the same total density $ρ$ at the fixed moment $t$) of Boltzmann equation is introduced. In this way we essentially generalize the important Kullback-Leibler distance, which was used before. Namely, we generalize it for the spatially inhomogeneous case. An extremal problem to find a solution of the Boltzmann equation, such that $\dist\{M,f\}$ is minimal in the class of solutions with the fixed values of energy and of $n$ moments, is solved. The cases of the classical and quantum (for Fermi and Bose particles) Boltzmann equations are studied and compared. The asymptotics and stability of solutions of the Boltzmann equations are also considered.

Pyspeckit: Lessons Learned From A Spectroscopic Toolkit From Pre-Astropy To Now

description: Pyspeckit is a toolkit for the analysis of already-reduced spectra. It grew out

of a need to do a really simple task, fitting a gaussian to part of a spectrum,

and mild rage against the old tools that were inadequate for various reasons.

Pyspeckit was not the only tool of its type created at the time, but it was

among the first in its class and is still in widespread use. Since it was

started before astropy, the package has undergone slow but significant internal

changes to keep up with the astropy environment. I will present a developer's

perspective on developing and maintaining the toolkit and some viewpoints on

the astronomer community using it.
