Geochemical challenges associated with water treatment at abandoned or neglected mines in Southeast Yukon
Creators: name: Rainey, D. K.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: At mine sites with geochemically reactive wastes the interim period between cessation of mining and implementation of a remediation plan may extend for years or decades, during which time chemical treatment of mine contact water is commonly required. Three non-producing mines in southeast Yukon (Ketza River, Wolverine and the Faro Mine Complex) are compared to illustrate how remediation implementation delays at abandoned and neglected mines are impacted by challenging pre-remediation water treatment requirements. The complexity, cost, and duration of water treatment activities differ greatly between the sites, depending on the chemical nature of the contaminants and volume of water to be treated. Remote, subarctic, mountainous conditions where most water management activities must be conducted during a short summer season contribute to water treatment challenges. Water treatment at Faro is anticipated to continue in perpetuity, whereas remediation at Ketza River and Wolverine could potentially eliminate the need for repeated and seasonal water treatment campaigns. A key lesson learned from these sites is that during implementation of water treatment for the interim period, it is commonly discovered that geochemical conditions have deteriorated so severely that remediation plans become obsolete. This leads to unanticipated water treatment costs while remediation plans are updated.
Femtosecond laser-induced electron emission from nanodiamond-coated tungsten needle tips

description: We present femtosecond laser-induced electron emission from nanodiamond-coated tungsten tips. Based on the shortness of the femtosecond laser pulses, electrons can be photo-excited for wavelengths from the infrared (1932 nm) to the ultraviolet (235 nm) because multi-photon excitation becomes efficient over the entire spectral range. Depending on the laser wavelength, we find different dominant emission channels identified by the number of photons needed to emit electrons. Based on the band alignment between tungsten and nanodiamond, the relevant emission channels can be identified as specific transitions in diamond and its graphitic boundaries. It is the combination of the character of initial and final states (i.e. bulk or surface-near, direct or indirect excitation in the diamond band structure), the number of photons providing the excitation energy and the peak intensity of the laser pulses that determines the dominant excitation channel for photoemission. A specific feature of the hydrogen-terminated nanodiamond coating is its negative electron affinity that significantly lowers the work function and enables efficient emission from the conduction band minimum into vacuum without energy barrier. The properties of these tips are encouraging for their use as laser-triggered electron sources in applications such as ultrafast electron microscopy and diffraction and novel photonics-based laser accelerators. Emission is stable for bunch charges up to 400 electrons per laser pulse. We infer a normalized emittance of < 0.20~nm~rad and a normalized brightness of > $1.2 \cdot 10^{12} \text{A} \text{ m}^{-2} \text{ sr}^{-1}$.

description: Elektromobilität verspricht eine erhöhte Lebensqualität des Nutzers in Hinblick auf emissions- und lärmärmeres Fahren. Diesen Potenzialen stehen jedoch diverse Hürden, wie z.B. kurze Reichweiten und lange Ladezeiten der Fahrzeuge entgegen. Der Aufbau einer flächendeckenden Ladeinfrastruktur zur Überwindung der Hürden wird von zum Teil konkurrierenden Interessengruppen beeinflusst. Um die Planung eines Ladeinfrastrukturlayouts zu unterstützen, existiert bereits ein agentenbasiertes Simulationsframework. Für die Bewertung des Infrastrukturlayouts aus Sicht mehrerer Stakeholder benötigt dieses Framework ein Bewertungsschema, das die Interessen der einzelnen Gruppen quantitativ abbildet. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die Entwicklung dieses Schemas inkl. dessen Formalisierung unter Zuhilfenahme einer durchgeführten Stakeholderanalyse.

description: The classical version of the three wave interaction models the creation and destruction of waves; the quantized version models the creation and destruction of particles. The quantum three wave interaction is described and the Bethe Ansatz for the eigenfunctions is given in closed form. The Bethe equations are derived in a rigorous fashion and are shown to have a thermodynamic limit. The Dirac sea of negative energy states is obtained as the infinite density limit. Finite particle/hole excitations are determined and the asymptotic relation of energy and momentum is obtained. The Yang-Yang functional for the relative free energy of finite density excitations is constructed and is shown to be convex and bounded below. The equations of thermal equilibrium are obtained.

description: We study the Jones and Tod correspondence between selfdual conformal 4-manifolds with a conformal vector field and abelian monopoles on Einstein-Weyl 3-manifolds, and prove that invariant complex structures correspond to shear-free geodesic congruences. Such congruences exist in abundance and so provide a tool for constructing interesting selfdual geometries with symmetry, unifying the theories of scalar-flat Kahler metrics and hypercomplex structures with symmetry. We also show that in the presence of such a congruence, the Einstein-Weyl equation is equivalent to a pair of coupled monopole equations, and we solve these equations in a special case. The new Einstein-Weyl spaces, which we call Einstein-Weyl ``with a geodesic symmetry'', give rise to hypercomplex structures with two commuting triholomorphic vector fields.

description: In this paper, we consider an electrodynamics of higher derivatives coupled to a Lorentz-violating background tensor. Specifically, we are interested in a dimension-five term of the CPT-odd sector of the nonminimal Standard-Model Extension. By a particular choice of the operator $\hat{k}_{AF}$, we obtain a higher-derivative version of the Carroll-Field-Jackiw (CFJ) term, $\frac{1}{2}ε^{κλμν}A_λD_κ\square F_{μν}$, with a Lorentz-violating background vector $D_κ$. This modification is subject to being investigated. We calculate the propagator of the theory and from its poles, we analyze the dispersion relations of the isotropic and anisotropic sectors. We verify that classical causality is valid for all parameter choices, but that unitarity of the theory is generally not assured. The latter is found to break down for certain configurations of the background field and momentum. In an analog way, we also study a dimension-five anisotropic higher-derivative CFJ term, which is written as $ε^{κλμν}A_λT_κ(T\cdot\partial)^{2}F_{μν}$ and is directly linked to the photon sector of Myers-Pospelov theory. Within the second model, purely timelike and spacelike $T_κ$ are considered. For the timelike choice, one mode is causal, whereas the other is noncausal. Unitarity is conserved, in general, as long as the energy stays real - even for the noncausal mode. For the spacelike scenario, causality is violated when the propagation direction lies within certain regimes. However, there are particular configurations preserving unitarity and strong numerical indications exist that unitarity is guaranteed for all purely spacelike configurations. The results improve our understanding of nonminimal CPT-odd extensions of the electromagnetic sector.

description: Seabridge Gold Inc. (Seabridge Gold) is a Canadian based resource exploration company. Seabridge purchased SnipGold Corp. (SnipGold) in 2016 that comprises the Iskut Project and 29,436 hectares (294 km2) of exploration potential in Northwest British Columbia’s famed Golden Triangle. Included in the transaction was the former Johnny Mountain Mine. Accessible via air only, the former Johnny Mountain Mine operated from 1989 to 1990 and briefly in 1993, is located at 1,000 MASL and has only three months of snow-free conditions. The acquisition of a junior exploration company containing an exploration portfolio of mineral properties with upside potential and with a former operating mine that had not been fully reclaimed, required careful deliberation and the completion of an extensive due diligence process to determine existing and future liabilities associated with the former operating mine. Historic infrastructure remaining following cessation of the Johnny Mountain Mine includes a 350TPD processing plant, fuel tank farm, an airstrip, 3.5 kms of underground workings, an 11.5 hectares tailings impoundment, waste rock dumps and several waste burial sites. SnipGold committed to reclaiming the historic legacy and outstanding liabilities, with the support of the Tahltan Nation over a multi-year timeline following the approved Closure and Reclamation Plan.

description: We extend ideas developed for the loop representation of quantum gravity to diffeomorphism-invariant gauge theories coupled to fermions. Let P -> Sigma be a principal G-bundle over space and let F be a vector bundle associated to P whose fiber is a sum of continuous unitary irreducible representations of the compact connected gauge group G, each representation appearing together with its dual. We consider theories whose classical configuration space is A x F, where A is the space of connections on P and F is the space of sections of F, regarded as a collection of Grassmann-valued fermionic fields. We construct the `quantum configuration space a x f as a completion of A x F. Using this we construct a Hilbert space L^2(a x f) for the quantum theory on which all automorphisms of P act as unitary operators, and determine an explicit `spin network basis' of the subspace L^2((a x f)/G) consisting of gauge-invariant states. We represent observables constructed from holonomies of the connection along paths together with fermionic fields and their conjugate momenta as operators on L^2((a x f)/G). We also construct a Hilbert space H_diff of diffeomorphism-invariant states using the group averaging procedure of Ashtekar, Lewandowski, Marolf, Mourao and Thiemann.

description: The family of oligomeric natural products derived from resveratrol possesses broad pharmacological potential, with the larger members of the class often displaying the most impressive bioactivities and the highest potencies.  In particular, the trans-dihydrobenzofuran architectural motif, common to the majority of the natural materials, appears to act as a pharmacophore.  Our group proposes controlled stepwise synthesis of the resveratrol derivatives to allow access to the higher-order oligomers, bypassing their inefficient isolation from natural sources.  Specifically, this work focused on regioselective installation of the trans-dihydrobenzofuran motif on diverse cores.  This goal was achieved by employing electrophilic aromatic substitution and directed lithiation as selective functionalization tools.  A robust and broadly applicable method has been developed to allow the elaboration of the resulting functional handles into the desired structural motif.

description: The contributions to this volume investigate relations of cohesion and coherence as well as instantiations of discourse phenomena and their interaction with information structure in multilingual contexts. Some contributions concentrate on procedures to analyze cohesion and coherence from a corpus-linguistic perspective. Others have a particular focus on textual cohesion in parallel corpora that include both originals and translated texts. Additionally, the papers in the volume discuss the nature of cohesion and coherence with implications for human and machine translation. The contributors are experts on discourse phenomena and textuality who address these issues from an empirical perspective. The chapters in this volume are grounded in the latest research making this book useful to both experts of discourse studies and computational linguistics, as well as advanced students with an interest in these disciplines. We hope that this volume will serve as a catalyst to other researchers and will facilitate further advances in the development of cost-effective annotation procedures, the application of statistical techniques for the analysis of linguistic phenomena and the elaboration of new methods for data interpretation in multilingual corpus linguistics and machine translation.

description: INTRODUCTION: In 2015, an independent panel was appointed to overhaul Aotearoa New Zealand’s care, protection and youth justice systems. This article discusses the mechanisms used to involve children and young people in that review and evaluates the extent to which these mechanisms lived up to best practice.METHOD: The article takes a case study approach: exploring the ways in which the Expert Panel enabled children and young people to have a meaningful role in the process. The author was a member of the Expert Panel Secretariat, which supported the Panel during the review. The impact that young people’s voices had on the process motivated this research in order to explore what made their input effective, and what could have been improved.FINDINGS: The Expert Panel made young people’s participation in the review meaningful by valuing their lived experience and providing the necessary support to enable them to have their voices heard. Although more could have been done to reduce the risk of filtering and assumed representation, the Panel’s approach to involving children and young people in the design process was strongly in line with a childhood studies approach to children and young people’s participation.CONCLUSIONS: The outcomes of this process challenge the assumption that giving young people decision-making power is what makes this type of process effective. It may be that decision-making influence, not decision-making power, is what makes young people’s participation meaningful. The lessons learned from this process should guide the next phase of system reform.

description: Mangelndes Verständnis der Wissenschaftler untereinander kennzeichnet die heutige Wissenschaftskommunikation. Ein Grund hierfür ist sicher die Spezialisierung, die teilweise soweit geht, daß selbst die Vertreter eines Faches das Fach nicht mehr vollständig überblicken und dessen Fachsprache nicht beherrschen. In dem Vorwort von [1] ist der Anspruch formuliert: In der Ausbildung brauchen wir eine Spezialisierung ohne Isolation. Gemeint ist die fachliche Kompetenz, die durch additive Kompetenzen auf anderen Gebieten ergänzt werden muß. Die Systemtheorie vermag als Querschnittsfach mit ihrer integrierenden Eigenschaft und ihren Methoden einen wesentlichen innovativen Beitrag zur Ermittlung der Gewässergüte zu leisten. Die integrierende Eigenschaft bezieht sich auf die Wechselwirkungen/Überschneidungen von gesellschaftlichen, technischen und politischen Bereichen, die einerseits grundverschieden und andererseits durch Sachkonflikte, Interessenkonflikte und Überzeugungskonflikte gekennzeichnet sind. Die Methoden der Systemtechnik als Anwendung der Systemtheorie sind das Werkzeug, um anstelle von den bisherigen Vergleichen und (Teil-)Bewertungen der (simulierten) Auswirkungen vorgegebener fachspezifischer Maßnahmen zu der Lösung der umgekehrten Aufgabe zu gelangen, nämlich der Ermittlung der Maßnahmen, die zum Erreichen einer bestimmten Gewässergüte notwendig sind: Mehrzieloptimierung mit Restriktionen unter Beachtung der Nachhaltigkeit. Hierzu ist Wissen notwendig, anstelle von Spekulationen und Meinungen. Wissen erreicht man nur über Fachwissen und dessen Abstraktion. Die Abstraktion wird durch Operationalisierung/Mathematisierung geleistet. Die mathematischen Modelle der Subsysteme müssen ermittelt und über ihre Wechselwirkungen synthetisiert werden. In dem Aufsatz werden die zugehörigen Begriffe mathematisch definiert und methodisch aufbereitet. Ein einfaches Beispiel illustriert die Vorgehensweise, die sich wesentlich von dem bisherigen Vorgehen der Aggregation von Indikatoren unterscheidet.

description: A model of static boson-fermion star with spherical symmetry based on the scalar-tensor theory of gravity with massive dilaton field is investigated numerically. Since the radius of star is \textit{a priori} an unknown quantity, the corresponding boundary value problem (BVP) is treated as a nonlinear spectral problem with a free internal boundary. The Continuous Analogue of Newton Method (CANM) for solving this problem is applied. Information about basic geometric functions and the functions describing the matter fields, which build the star is obtained. In a physical point of view the main result is that the structure and properties of the star in presence of massive dilaton field depend essentially both of its fermionic and bosonic components.

The technique has been applied to the manufacture of both monofilamentary and multifilamentary wires of several tens meters length. The superconducting transport properties of the MgB2 hollow wires have been measured in magnetic field and in the temperature range from 4.2 to 30 K. Promising results are obtained, which indicate the possibility of application of these wires as superconductors in the temperature range of 15-30 K and at medium-high values of magnetic field.

description: The one-loop effective potential for gauge models in static de Sitter space at finite temperatures is computed by means of the $ζ$--function method. We found a simple relation which links the effective potentials of gauge and scalar fields at all temperatures. In the de Sitter invariant and zero-temperature states the potential for the scalar electrodynamics is explicitly obtained, and its properties in these two vacua are compared. In this theory the two states are shown to behave similarly in the regimes of very large and very small radii a of the background space. For the gauge symmetry broken in the flat limit ($a \to \infty$) there is a critical value of a for which the symmetry is restored in both quantum states. Moreover, the phase transitions which occur at large or at small a are of the first or of the second order, respectively, regardless the vacuum considered. The analytical and numerical analysis of the critical parameters of the above theory is performed. We also established a class of models for which the kind of phase transition occurring depends on the choice of the vacuum.

Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP)

description: Abstract: In this Paper, a short and generic approach for assessing potential monetary savings from load flexibility measures is developped. A microeconomic point of view is chosen and savings occur based on a time-of-use electricity tariff. First, a review of microeconomic modelling approaches is carried out. After that, an own approach using mixed integer linear programming (MILP) is developped based on a approach from Schwabeneder, Lettner and Burgholzer (2017) aiming at minizing total electricity consumption costs of the microeconomic actor. The modelling approach is tested using a hourly resp. quarter-hourly tariff-structure similar to the one of the day-ahead and intraday wholesale electricity markets in Germany. Furthermore, in this paper several parameter values and sensitivities are analyzed and an outlook for further research is given. Kurzfassung: In diesem Papier wird ein generischer Modellansatz zur Bewertung des monetären Einsparpotenzials von Lastflexibilisie-rungsmaßnahmen bei zeitvariabler Stromtarifstruktur entwickelt. Hierzu wird basierend auf einem Review von einzelwirtschaftlichen Modellen ein gemischt-ganzzahliger Ansatz (MILP) mit dem Ziel der Kostenminimierung entwickelt, der sich an Schwabeneder, Lettner und Burgholzer (2017) anlehnt. Eine Erprobung des Modellansatzes findet mit stündlichen bzw. viertelstündlich variierenden Tarifen statt, was einer Vermarktung der Lastflexibilität am Day-ahead-Markt oder Intraday-Markt in Deutschland entspricht. In diesem Papier werden verschiedene Parameterausprägungen untersucht und zentrale Sensitivitäten analysiert sowie ein Forschungsausblick gegeben.

description: Recent advance in health and technology has made mobile apps a viable approach to delivering behavioral interventions in areas including physical activity encouragement, smoking cessation, substance abuse prevention, and mental health management. Due to the chronic nature of most of the disorders and heterogeneity among mobile users, delivery of the interventions needs to be sequential and tailored to individual needs. We operationalize the sequential decision making via a policy that takes a mobile user's past usage pattern and health status as input and outputs an app/intervention recommendation with the goal of optimizing the cumulative rewards of interest in an indefinite horizon setting. There is a plethora of reinforcement learning methods on the development of optimal policies in this case. However, the vast majority of the literature focuses on studying the convergence of the algorithms with infinite amount of data in computer science domain. Their performances in health applications with limited amount of data and high noise are yet to be explored. Technically the nature of sequential decision making results in an objective function that is non-smooth (not even a Lipschitz) and non-convex in the model parameters. This poses theoretical challenges to the characterization of the asymptotic properties of the optimizer of the objective function, as well as computational challenges for optimization. This problem is especially exacerbated with the presence of high dimensional data in mobile health applications. In this dissertation we propose a regularized greedy gradient Q-learning (RGGQ) method to tackle this estimation problem. The optimal policy is estimated via an algorithm which synthesizes the PGM and the GGQ algorithms in the presence of an L₁ regularization, and its asymptotic properties are established. The theoretical framework initiated in this work can be applied to tackle other non-smooth high dimensional problems in reinforcement learning.

description: Zur Förderung von Nachhaltigkeit in Unternehmen muss eine Vielzahl von heterogenen Daten in umweltrelevante Informationen konvertiert und durch Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme (BUIS) bereitgehalten werden. Da diese derzeit noch nicht im wünschenswerten Umfang strategische Informationen und Entscheidungshilfen bieten, sind die gegenwärtigen Systeme den Anforderungen aus der Diskussion um Nachhaltigkeit nicht gewachsen. Wir entwerfen daher ein BUIS der Zukunft (BUIS 2.0), welches den Anforderungen strategischer Nachhaltigkeit gerecht wird. Die Ergebnisse einer Erhebung, die die Anforderungen an BUIS2.0 früherer Befragungen, Workshops und Experteninterviews priorisiert, werden vorgestellt. Als ein unmittelbares Ergebnis der Erhebung werden erste Ansätze von architektonischen Konzepten für BUIS 2.0 aufgezeigt, die in dem Projekt „IT-For-Green“ umgesetzt werden.

description: IT-Services, wie etwa die Bereitstellung von Suchfunktionen, werden auf Basis einer weltweit verteilten Infrastruktur aus Rechenzentren erstellt. Dies führt dazu, dass Rechenzentren aktuell zu den größten Energieverbrauchern der Informationstechnik zählen. Verfahren zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz bilden bereits den Gegenstand aktueller Forschungsvorhaben, der Fokus liegt allerdings auf infrastrukturnahen Ansätzen. Methoden zum Management von Rechenzentren wurden bisher nicht oder nur in geringem Umfang auf ihren Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz untersucht. Aus diesem Grund werden am Beispiel der IT-Infrastructure Library (ITIL) – der defacto-Standard für IT-Service-Management (ITSM) – die Implikationen aus der Berücksichtigung ökologischer Ziele für die ITSM-Prozesse herausgearbeitet und ökologisch orientierte Erweiterungen eingeführt.

description: The use of ammonium-nitrate fuel/oil (ANFO) explosives and cyanide in the gold mining industry can lead to elevated concentrations of nitrogen compounds in mine-impacted water, often requiring treatment before discharge. Recent limits on the concentration of ammonia added to the Canadian Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulation (MDMER) further stress the need for cost-effective solutions to remove nitrogen from effluents. Nitrogen compounds are typically removed through two biological processes: 1) aerobic oxidation of ammonia, and 2) anaerobic reduction of nitrate. These processes can be costly due to the need for separate reactors, addition of a carbon source and aeration. Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria solve this issue by simultaneously converting ammonia and nitrite to nitrogen gas in a single anaerobic autotrophic process. Despite the successful application of anammox to wastewater treatment plants, little research has been done on its application to mine effluents. Here, we present an anammox-containing culture with an emphasis on its nitrogen removal capabilities as well as the microorganisms identified to carry out the metabolism. Results of our laboratory application of the culture to remove nitrate, ammonia and cyanide compounds from a gold mine effluent are presented.

description: Let X be a smooth, complete, connected submanifold of dimension n < N in a complex affine space A^N (C), and r is the rank of its Gauss map γ, γ(x) = T_x (X). The authors prove that if 2 \leq r \leq n - 1, N - n \geq 2, and in the pencil of the second fundamental forms of X, there are two forms defining a regular pencil all eigenvalues of which are distinct, then the submanifold X is a cylinder with (n-r)-dimensional plane generators erected over a smooth, complete, connected submanifold Y of rank r and dimension r. This result is an affine analogue of the Hartman-Nirenberg cylinder theorem proved for X \subset R^{n+1} and r = 1. For n \geq 4 and r = n - 1, there exist complete connected submanifolds X \subset A^N (C) that are not cylinders.
