A contribution to risk evaluation of fabricator/erector during production and installation of steel structures
Creators: name: Jalayer, Mehdi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Risk assessment is an important aspect of making informed decisions for civil engineering projects. Managers and engineers in charge of projects must often make critical decisions under lack of access to perfect information and many uncertainties. More specifically, steel fabricators and erectors are faced with various decisions during the initial stages of a project. Such decisions could range from choosing a fabrication/erection scheme to design of a particular false work component. These decisions can have significant impacts on the job in terms of cost and duration. This thesis attempts to provide a detailed overview of risk assessment methods for fabrication and installation of steel structures. Before identifying risks, it is important to understand how problem variables influence each other in framework of structural steel projects, as presented in this thesis. Realization of a steel structure, whether simple or complex involves participation of several parties including those that are directly involved such as the owner, designer and the fabricator and those that are indirectly involved such as equipment and material suppliers. Each participant has its own specific variables which influence the project on different scales. Although projects vary in terms of complexity, they share a common trait: interaction between project participants and their associated variables. Identifying the appropriate critical project variables and their relationships is crucial for assessing risks. Today many information technology tools are available, which enable the decision maker to account for uncertainties involved in a decision. An overview of decision science principles and tools are presented, which lead to utilization of three methods of risk assessment: the Expected Monetary Value (EMV) approach, the Monte Carlo Simulation and the First Order Reliability Method (FORM). The latter is applied to fabrication tolerance analysis problems as a tool in order to guide the engineer in specifying fabrication and erection tolerances for geometrically complex steel structures. Application of the FORM on a roller coaster fabrication problem is presented as an example. With regards to risk assessment in construction of steel structures, a cost model is created on DecisionPro. Using the Monte Carlo simulation, this general cost model enables a manager to determine profit margins and corresponding probabilities of breaking even or financial loss for erecting a steel structure. Lastly, the EMV approach is applied to the cost model as a risk assessment method for installation of structural steel. This method uses subjective probabilities from expert opinion with regards to different scenarios during the installation phase. Application of the EMV approach illustrated by its application to a bridge project.

Finite-Size Effects and Scaling for the Thermal QCD Deconfinement Phase Transition within the Exact Color-Singlet Partition Function

description: We study the finite-size effects for the thermal QCD Deconfinement Phase Transition (DPT), and use a numerical finite size scaling analysis to extract the scaling exponents characterizing its scaling behavior when approaching the thermodynamic limit. For this, we use a simple model of coexistence of hadronic gas and color-singlet Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) phases in a finite volume. The Color-Singlet Partition Function (CSPF) of the QGP cannot be exactly calculated and is usually derived within the saddle point approximation. When we try to do calculations with such an approximate CSPF, a problem arises in the limit of small temperatures and/or volumes (VT3<<1), requiring then additional approximations if we want to carry out calculations. We propose in this work a new method for an accurate calculation of any quantity of the finite system, without explicitly calculating the CSPF itself and without any approximation. By probing the behavior of some useful thermodynamic response functions on the hole range of temperature, it turns out that in a finite size system, all singularities in the thermodynamic limit are smeared out and the transition point is shifted away. A numerical finite size scaling analysis of the obtained data allows us to determine the scaling exponents of the QCD DPT. Our results expressing the equality between their values and the space dimensionality is a consequence of the singularity characterizing a first order phase transition and agree very well with the predictions of other FSS theoretical approaches and with the results of both lattice QCD and Monte Carlo models calculations.

description: Biomass is being researched as a possible alternative to fossil sources of energy, in order to avoid externalities from fossil fuel use that affect the environment and the economy. Some biomass-based energy production systems may produce unwanted externalities in their own right, such as increasing the production pressure on the agricultural land base, resulting in a rise in prices of food commodities. Using marginal land for biomass production has been suggested as a solution. However, the definition of what constitutes marginal land is poorly understood. This paper provides a theoretical foundation for identification of marginal lands, and analyzes recent literature to assess how current usage of the term marginal correspond to the theoretical framework. Then, the paper devises empirical models that test possible methods of identification of the extensive margin of agricultural land in 19 counties in the state of Michigan. The models find that dynamic variables such as price changes have a statistically significant effect on land use change into and out of cropland. Land quality and regional effects are also statistically significant.

description: There are important challenges to the grain handling and shipping industries. The study evaluated changes in marketing costs for the primary grain marketing functions and quantified measures of risk. The results indicate that 1) basis risk has increased; 2) all marketing costs have increased; 3) the increase in rail tariffs were less than those for the other modes; 4) car values, on average declined; 5) FSC’s had moderate changes in absolute terms; 6) handling margins have had fairly substantial increases, particularly at port; and 7) the riskiness in rail shipping costs are less than those of competing modes and functions. The regression model indicated the following variables had significant impacts on origin basis values: shipping costs, ocean rate spreads, outstanding export sales, handling industry concentration, measures of rail cars late, the ratio of supplies to storage capacity, futures prices and spreads (in addition to a few other minor impacts).

description: Sky spectra were obtained from archival science frames taken with DoLoRes at the 3.58m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo with a wavelength range ~3800 - 8000Ang and resolution of 2.8Ang/pix and 3.6Ang/pix. Our spectra include all the important Sodium and Mercury light pollution lines and span a wide interval of azimuth and observing conditions, essential to disentangle environmental and seasonal effects. New sodium and mercury lines were also detected for the first time at the observatory. Light pollution from NaD_{5892-8} emitted by the LPS lamps increased by a factor of 1.5 - 2 with respect to the average values of 1998. At the same time, light pollution from Hg lines decreased by ~40% and reaches the 1998 levels only when observing toward the towns. The contribution of NaD_{5892-8} from LPS lamps to sky background is 0.05-0.10mag at V-band and 0.07-0.12mag at R-band. Synthetic sky brightness measures calculated from our spectra at V, B and R bands are in good agreement with those of Benn & Ellison(1998) if we take into account that our observations were done during 2003, seven years after the last sunspot minimum. The effects of the application of the Canary Sky Law are directly visible in the spectra as a 50% dimming of the Hg light-polluting lines in the spectra taken after local midnight.

description: The weighted average cost of producing tart cherries in Michigan on a representative farm in 2009 is $0.36/lb. This cost was averaged across the three main production regions in Michigan and weighted by average per acre production for each region as published by the Michigan Agricultural Statistics Service. --Costs vary across the main production regions and by farm size. Costs are about $0.04/lb less for mid-sized farms in Northwest Michigan and $0.08/lb and $0.10/lb in West Central and Southwest Michigan, respectively. --This report was developed through interviews with tart cherry growers and other experts in each of the three main growing regions in 2005 and 2006. Many of the numbers were updated in 2009. --The cost of production calculation is based on estimates of operating costs, harvest costs, and management, interest and tax costs. It also includes an amortized cost of establishing an orchard and employing the land in production (versus some other use). The following tables summarize the cost findings for each of the production regions.

description: A measurement of the neutron lifetime $τ_{n}$ performed by the absolute counting of in-beam neutrons and their decay protons has been completed. Protons confined in a quasi-Penning trap were accelerated onto a silicon detector held at a high potential and counted with nearly unit efficiency. The neutrons were counted by a device with an efficiency inversely proportional to neutron velocity, which cancels the dwell time of the neutron beam in the trap. The result is $τ_{n} = (886.6\pm1.2{\rm [stat]}\pm3.2{\rm [sys]})$ s, which is the most precise measurement of the lifetime using an in-beam method. The systematic uncertainty is dominated by neutron counting, in particular the mass of the deposit and the $^{6}$Li({\it{n,t}}) cross section. The measurement technique and apparatus, data analysis, and investigation of systematic uncertainties are discussed in detail.

description: A strategic inquiry into underground coal mining in New South Wales, Australia, identified the need for non-market valuation studies and recommended increased use of benefit cost analysis in assessing individual mining proposals. This paper reports on the results of a choice experiment undertaken for a mine in the Southern Coalfield of New South Wales. Results from the study are used to aid the government decision by evaluating alternative proposals to continue underground coal mining operations. Results show that community wellbeing declines with increases in the kilometres of streams, the hectares of swamp, and the number of Aboriginal sites affected by mine subsidence. Community wellbeing increases with the length of time that the mine provides 320 jobs. Implicit price estimates from the choice experiment were incorporated into a benefit cost analysis of continued mining at the mine to assess the economic efficiency of a range of environmental restrictions on the proposed mining operations. Even though the mine generates negative environmental externalities, the continuation of mining was found to be economically efficient under a range of policy scenarios.

description: We analyze a random resistor-inductor-capacitor $(RLC)$ lattice model of 2-dimensional metal-insulator composites. The results are compared with Bruggeman's and Landauer's Effective Medium Approximations where a discrepancy was observed for some frequency zones. Such a discrepancy is mainly caused by the strong conductivity fluctuations. Indeed, a two-branches distribution is observed for low frequencies. We show also by increasing the system size that at $p_c$ the so-called Drude peak vanishes; it increases for vanishing losses.

description: This analysis uses a residual demand elasticity model to measure market power in the international cotton market. The results indicate that China exerts significant market power and affects cotton prices. Those results, combined with a partial equilibrium model of the international cotton market, are used to evaluate the welfare consequences of U.S. cotton subsidy policies for major cotton exporters under alternative assumptions about global market structure. The results indicate that the effects of U.S. subsidies on the world cotton price are much smaller under an imperfectly competitive international market than under a perfectly competitive market scenario; the former appears to be a realistic case.

The Gilmore-NASG model to predict single-bubble cavitation in compressible liquids
Creators: name: Denner, Fabian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Gilmore model is combined with the Noble-Abel-stiffened-gas (NASG) equation of state to yield a simple model to predict the expansion and collapse of spherical bubbles based on real gas thermodynamics. The NASG equation of state resolves the temperature inaccuracy associated with the commonly employed Tait equation of state for liquids and, thus, can provide a consistent description of compressible and thermal effects of the bubble content and the surrounding liquid during cavitation. After a detailed derivation of the proposed Gilmore-NASG model, the differences between the classical Gilmore-Tait model and the proposed model are highlighted with results of single-bubble cavitation related to bubble collapse and driven by an acoustic excitation in frequency and amplitude regimes relevant to sonoluminescence, high-intensity focused ultrasound and shock wave lithotripsy. Especially for rapidly and violently collapsing bubbles, substantial differences in the bubble behaviour can be observed between the proposed Gilmore-NASG model and the classical Gilmore-Tait model. The ability of the Gilmore-NASG model to simultaneously predict reliable pressure and temperature values in gas, vapour and liquid, makes the proposed model particularly attractive for sonochemistry and biomedical applications.
Environmental risk modeling of infrasttructure projects
Creators: name: Wang, Yugui
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Risk management is an important function for all civil engineering projects, especially for P3 (Public Private Partnerships) projects, which are being widely considered as a procurement method for major civil engineering infrastructure projects. One or more attributes of the natural and man-made environmental components of a project in concert with the attributes of a physical component and/or those of an activity or a group of activities can act as risk drivers for a risk event. The likelihood of the event's occurrence and its quantum of consequences can be dependent on whether or not the risk drivers share the same site location, participant responsibility, and time interval. As modeling of a project's environment and related risks is very important for project risk management, knowledge-based constructs for representing a project's environmental and risk views are needed. These constructs should have capabilities to integrate a project's environmental view with its physical, process and organizational/contractual views to ensure thorough risk identification. This thesis work explores the robustness of constructs being developed as part of an extended research program on risk management to represent the environmental and risk views of a project. A comprehensive environmental component library that is applicable to civil infrastructure projects is compiled by applying these constructs based on an extensive literature review and study of actual project documents. Mitigation measures for environmental impact and risks are identified. Strategies for visualizing environmental features and associated risks are discussed and illustrated. These strategies help project participants to gain insights on the confluence of environmental properties and associated risks in time, space and by project participants. Two case studies are conducted to explore the relationship between components of the environmental breakdown structure and risk issues/events, including relevant risk event mitigation measures.

description: A tariff-rate quota (TRQ) is a two-tier tariff. The Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture provides for the transformation of remaining import quotas into TRQs in order to eliminate quantity restricting import barriers to trade. However, more often than not are TRQs de-facto-quotas. The profit-maximizing condition for an importer confronted with two differentiated goods under a common quota is derived. The main focus of the present article is the US import regime for cheese which was transformed according to the tariffication process into a TRQ system. Analysis of cheese import quantities shows that this transformation has indeed little changed. Being the only remarkable exception in partially overcoming the import barriers, the case of New Zealand indicates a possible price discrimination in favor of high-duty imports.

description: Despite its several qualities, the Poggio-Miller-Chang-Harrington-Wu-Tsai (PMCHWT) formulation for simulating scattering by dielectric media suffers from numerical instabilities and severe ill-conditioning at low frequencies. While this drawback has been the object of numerous solution attempts in the standard low-frequency breakdown regime for scattering problems, the eddy-current regime requires a specific treatment. In this contribution, we present an extension of the recently introduced quasi-Helmholtz projectors based preconditioning of the PMCHWT to obtain an equation stable at low frequencies and specifically in three regimes relevant for eddy currents analyses: (i) when the frequency decreases with a constant conductivity, (ii) when the conductivity increases at fixed frequency and (iii) when the frequency decreases while keeping the product of the frequency and the conductivity constant. Being based on quasi-Helmholtz projectors our new strategy does not further degrade the conditioning of the original equation and is compatible with existing fast solvers. The resulting full-wave formulation is capable of smoothly transitioning from simulations at high frequencies to the different low-frequency regimes which encompass, in particular, eddy currents applications. Numerical results demonstrate the validity of our approach in all the regimes with a special emphasis given to eddy currents.

Studies on seismic behavior of concrete gravity dams
Creators: name: Yoneda, William James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This Master's thesis presents three independent studies related to the safety of concrete gravity dams. 1. Dam-Gate Hydrodynamic Interaction Study 2. Damping Study 3. Shear Key Study The three studies are self-contained, presented independently in Chapters 2 - 4 of this thesis. Work on this thesis started in winter 2002. The analytical work was completed in summer 2004. This thesis was written as part of the Professional Partnership Program with the University of British Columbia and British Columbia Hydro. A modal analysis of a 2DOF simplified model representing a portion of an existing gravity dam structure was performed. The main purposes of this study were to evaluate the effect of dam-gate interaction on the hydrodynamic loads and to evaluate the effect of varying the natural frequency of the gate. It was found that the modal interaction between the dam and gate structures caused variation in the hydrodynamic loads acting on the gate and upstream face of the dam. One of the recommendations for retrofitting the gates is to decrease the natural frequency of the gate to below the natural frequency of the dam. This essentially increases the flexibility of the gate system and reduces the amount of hydrodynamic loads generated on the gate and upstream surface of the dam. An analytical study to test the Half-Power Bandwidth method of estimating damping in concrete gravity dams was performed successfully. The objectives of this study were to test this method of evaluating structural damping and to recommend a reasonable estimate of structural damping in concrete gravity dams. The damping values computed by this method were found to be much lower than expected (less than 2%) and therefore, unrepresentative of the damping that is likely believed to be present in the concrete gravity dams analyzed in this study (approximately 5 - 10%). An exploratory study involving the finite-element modeling of a shear key system was performed. The stress patterns that developed in the finite element model under applied horizontal load were similar to those exhibited in the early stages of the cracking sequence presented by Bakhoum (1991). In order to model the later stages of the cracking sequence, it would be necessary to implement nonlinear material models that are capable of modeling loading beyond the linear range to failure.

description: Spin current generators are critical components for spintronics-based information processing. In this work, we theoretically and computationally investigate the bulk spin photovoltaic (BSPV) effect for creating DC spin current under light illumination. The only requirement for BPSV is inversion symmetry breaking, thus it applies to a broad range of materials and can be readily integrated with existing semiconductor technologies. The BSPV effect is a cousin of the bulk photovoltaic (BPV) effect, whereby a DC charge current is generated under light. Thanks to the different selection rules on spin and charge currents, a pure spin current can be realized if the system possesses mirror symmetry or inversion-mirror symmetry. The mechanism of BPSV and the role of the electronic relaxation time $τ$ are also elucidated. We apply our theory to several distinct material systems, including transition metal dichalcogenides, anti-ferromagnetic $\rm MnBi_2Te_4$, and the surface of topological crystalline insulator cubic $\rm SnTe$.

description: We review novel methods to investigate, control and manipulate neutral atoms in optical lattices. These setups allow unprecedented quantum control over large numbers of atoms and thus are very promising for applications in quantum information processing. After introducing optical lattices we discuss the superfluid (SF) and Mott insulating (MI) states of neutral atoms trapped in such lattices and investigate the SF-MI transition as recently observed experimentally. In the second part of the paper we give an overview of proposals for quantum information processing and show different ways to entangle the trapped atoms, in particular the usage of cold collisions and Rydberg atoms. Finally, we also briefly discuss the implementation of quantum simulators, entanglement enhanced atom interferometers, and ideas for robust quantum memory in optical lattices.

description: This paper presents the steps of a developing research of a model to evaluate the integration level of logistics in supply chains that have the family farming producers as first suppliers. Among the objectives of the paper, there are the software description and its applications. Those chains have some particularities in the production and distribution planning of their products and, for this reason, they need the adaptation of some concepts of logistics to their context in order to be evaluated and then improved. Firstly it is presented a review on concepts of logistics and also on the peculiarities in familiar production in order to make possible a discussion on the evaluation of logistics performance in organizations of familiar producers. The steps followed in the software Agrolog modeling are detailed and the premises for its application are done. The software model proposed and its principles of functioning are presented, as well as the results of the qualitative evaluation obtained during the model validation in one cooperative of family farming producers. Finally, limitations and perspectives related to the development and application of the software Agrolog are discussed.

subject: institucionalism

description: The aim of this paper is to analyze the values that characterize the organizational culture institutionalized in the constitution of the Escola Superior de Agricultura de Lavras (ESAL) from the institutionalist theory. The school gets its name in 1938 but was founded in 1908, when the Rev. Samuel Rhea Gammon decided to create a school that could teach agriculture to the region’s youth. The history of ESAL was based on written documents, such as personal diaries, biographies and guest books, which became part of its institutional memory. As a result of Protestant ideas, ESAL was institutionalized based on this value. Its theoretical framework is based on studies of organizational culture, the institutional theory of Protestant culture and the classics of reformist thinking. The values identified, analyzed and put into practice by the founders, recognized and reinforced throughout its history for several generations of students and teachers are working streamlined, the cult of education as education, broad cultural training of technicians, the honor-related formation of character as honesty, discipline at work, practical sense, the vision of progress and love of country, and the slogan to serve “the glory of God and Human Progress.” These values constitute ESAL identity.

description: We describe the design of a single beam, multiple species atom source in which the flux of any component can be separately adjusted. Using this design we have developed a 23Na-6Li atom source for ultracold atom experiments. The fluxes of lithium and sodium are independently tunable, allowing operation as a single 23Na or 6Li source as well as a double source with equal atomic fluxes in each component.

description: We report that current-induced spin-orbit torques (SOTs) in heavy-metal/ferromagnetic-metal bilayers are strongly altered by the oxidation of the ferromagnetic layer near the interface. We measured damping-like (DL) and field-like (FL) SOTs for Pt/Co and Pt/Ni$_{81}$Fe$_{19}$ (Pt/Py) films using spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance. In the Pt/Co film, we found that the oxidation of the Co layer near the interface enhances both DL and FL SOTs in spite of the insulating nature of the CoO$_x$ layer. The enhancement of the SOTs disappears by inserting a thin Ti layer at the Pt/CoO$_x$ interface, indicating that the dominant source of the SOTs in the Pt/CoO$_x$/Co film is the spin-orbit coupling at the Pt/CoO$_x$ interface. In contrast to the Pt/CoO$_x$/Co film, the SOTs in the Pt/PyO$_x$/Py film are dominated by the bulk spin-orbit coupling. Our result shows that the interfacial oxidation of the Pt/Py film suppresses the DL-SOT and reverses the sign of the FL-SOT. The change of the SOTs can be attributed to the change of the real and imaginary parts of the spin mixing conductance induced by the insertion of the insulating PyO$_x$ layer. These results show that the interfacial oxidation provides an effective way to manipulate the strength and sign of the SOTs.

description: This paper analyzes the governmental and non-governmental initiatives to regulate the water offer in the municipality of Januária, located in the Upper and Mid São Francisco River semi-arid region in Minas Gerais state – Brazil. The study is based on the evaluation of the historic trajectory of public policies in that region dealing with the conceptions of survival and efforts against drought. This proposal was based on a qualitative research, using documental analysis and interview maps that sought information regarding the initiatives identified in that municipality. The paper classifies those initiatives in styles, examining also how they manage with the partnerships, users participation, effectiveness, distribution criteria, financing, quality of supplied water, and quantity. Results demonstrate an outstanding intention of governmental and non-governmental sectors related to the users participation. It is also possible to conclude that none of the initiatives used in these programs is able to fully assist the water demand for domestic and productive consumption of rural families.

description: The present study had as major objective to analyze the implementation process of the coffee quality program (CQP) and its implications on the roasted and ground coffee companies in Brazil. Firstly, the philosophy and the objectives of CQP were described in the construction of a theoretical analysis model, the “quality pillars”. The marketing strategies of thirteen roasters were analyzed. Research data were analyzed with the support of the “quality pillars” model: product quality, process quality, and the quality signal. As main results, it was possible to imply that quality was the main factor that increased the vertical coordination between the researched companies. Therefore, CQP implementation leads companies to the adoption of vertical coordination strategies with their suppliers and distributors, while it is hard to maintain a quality standard for all companies. Non-adopters have difficulty to implement traceability in their productive system. Researched companies that focus their business on product differentiation by attributes of quality need, as support, a certification or strong brandmarks to transmit credibility to the consumers. The major point that enhanced vertical coordination was quality, showing the importance of the CQP certification process.

description: Fission plays an important role in the r-process which is responsible not only for the yields of transuranium isotopes, but may have a strong influence on the formation of the majority of heavy nuclei due to fission recycling. We present calculations of beta-delayed and neutron-induced fission rates, taking into account different fission barriers predictions and mass formulae. It is shown that an increase of fission barriers results naturally in a reduction of fission rates, but that nevertheless fission leads to the termination of the r-process. Furthermore, it is discussed that the probability of triple fission could be high for $A>260$ and have an effect on the formation of the abundances of heavy nuclei. Fission after beta-delayed neutron emission is discussed as well as different aspects of the influence of fission upon r-process calculations.
