An approach to reduce the effect of partial shading on photovoltaic modules
Creators: name: Chaw, Cheng Long
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Partial shading (PS) losses occur when some photovoltaic (PV) cells in a PV array, panel, or module are shaded from the illuminating light source. Such a phenomenon causes a substantial reduction in power generation, and it is seen to be an inevitable problem in maximizing the efficiency of the entire PV system, especially in the case of small-scale urban implementations, where the location choices are often suboptimal and shading obstacles are commonly encountered. Therefore, this thesis proposes a robust technique to reconfigure a PV module’s connection pattern in order to passively reduce the effect of PS by dispersing the shade to other parts of the module without either intensely modifying the circuitry or requiring the introduction of additional electronic devices. An ideal single-diode model of the PV cell is used to simulate and compare the performance of PV modules using different connecting methodologies, including the proposed strategy under extensive PS conditions. The proposed configuration is able to obtain improved maximum power points (MPP(s)), while displaying fewer significant disadvantages that the other shade dispersion methods have exhibited. It also shows fewer scalability limitations after ensuring the PV module is reasonably sufficient in size, as there is no requirement on the scale and the parity combination from its numbers of rows and columns. Moreover, under the placement rules of the proposed strategy, only alternating, and therefore no more than half of the columns in the configuration, are required to be changed, thus making the process modularizable, and reducing the total implementation costs. Furthermore, the resulting PV characteristic curves are shown to have more distinct MPP after utilizing the shade dispersion strategy, which become more convenient for following MPP tracking controls if desired. Finally, a PV module prototype, consisting of 6 x 6 PV cells, is implemented, and the experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed shade dispersion approach. The achieved MPP improvements are found to be better than the other tested shade dispersion method if the shade comes with an angle, and significantly better than the typical series-parallel or the total-cross-tied configuration when the shade is substantial in size.

description: Measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (hereafter SZ) effect distortion of the cosmic microwave background provide us with an independent method to derive the gas temperature of galaxy clusters. In merging galaxy clusters the gas distribution is inhomogeneous and, therefore, the method of temperature measuring based on the SZ effect should be more relevant than that based on an X-ray emission analysis. Here we study a method for measuring the gas temperature in merging clusters by means of the SZ effect. Our calculations of intensity maps of the SZ effect include relativistic corrections considered within the framework of the Wright formalism and utilize a cosmological numerical simulation of a merging galaxy cluster evolved with its baryon physics. We found that the gas temperature in merging clusters can be measured by means of the ratio of the SZ intensity at a low frequency (128 GHz) to that at a high frequency (369 GHz). This SZ intensity ratio permits us to reveal prominent features of the temperature structure caused by violent merger shock waves. Therefore, measurements of the ratio of the SZ intensities are a promising tool for measuring gas temperature in merging galaxy clusters.

A formal interpretation of the displacement current and the instantaneous formulation of Maxwell's equations
Creators: name: Heras, Jose A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Maxwell's displacement current has been the subject of controversy for more than a century. Questions on whether the displacement current represents a true current like the conduction current and whether it produces a magnetic field have recently been discussed in the literature. Similar interpretations for the Faraday induction current have also been controversial. These basic questions are answered in this paper by considering the relation between the displacement and conduction currents as well as the relation between Faraday induction and conduction currents. It is pointed out that the displacement current contributes to the magnetic field and that the induction current contributes to the electric field. However, the displacement and induction currents cannot be considered as the conduction current because they are nonlocal. Both relations are used to implement an instantaneous formulation of Maxwell's equations with local and nonlocal sources.

description: The low-temperature thermal conductivity (κ) of GdFeO_3 single crystals is found to be strongly dependent on magnetic field. The low-field κ(H) curves show two "dips" for H \parallel a and only one "dip" for H \parallel c, with the characteristic fields having good correspondence with the spin-flop and the spin-polarization transitions. A remarkable phenomenon is that the subKelvin thermal conductivity shows hysteretic behaviors on the history of applying magnetic field, that is, the κ(H) isotherms measured with field increasing are larger than those with field decreasing. Intriguingly, the broad region of magnetic field (\sim 0--3 T) showing the irreversibility of heat transport coincides with that presenting the ferroelectricity. It is discussed that the irreversible κ(H) behaviors are due to the phonon scattering by ferroelectric domain walls. This result shows an experimental feature that points to the capability of controlling the ferroelectric domain structures by magnetic field in multiferroic materials.

Flow physics during the drying of a thin polymer solution film near the contact line
Creators: name: Babaie, Ashkan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The drying process of a thin polymer solution film has been studied inside a micro-liter cavity near the contact line. Confocal microscopy along with particle image velocimetry and laser induced fluorescence are used for the real time measurement of velocity and concentration fields during the drying process. In addition to the capillary flow and the Marangoni flow, the velocity field also reveals the possible existence of a single vortex and multiple vortices inside the creeping flow induced by evaporation. These vortices appear soon after the beginning of the evaporation process, their size shrinks over time, and they disappear before the end of the evaporation process. This thesis includes a study of the effect of rheological and geometrical parameters on the presence, size and endurance of these vortices. Significant concentration heterogeneity is observed across the film during the drying process, in particular near the contact line. The concentration at the solution-air interface is higher compared to the bulk, and it increases towards the contact line and also over time. A skin layer starts forming as soon as the surface concentration reaches the glass transition concentration after which the evaporation rate starts decreasing. The drying film undergoes a similar concentration evolution during the evaporation process, regardless of the cavity depth and the initial polymer concentration; although, minor differences can be recognized that are associated with the flow recirculations that delay the concentration increase inside the vortex. Finally, a theory is developed based on experimental data which explains the existence and behavior of viscous vortices near the bottom wall of the cavity. The competition between the capillary flow and the Marangoni flow results in flow separation on the bottom wall which leads to such vortices. This study provides better understanding of the drying process of thin polymer solution films near the contact line. Furthermore, viscous flow separation adds to the current understanding of flow physics during the drying process, in addition to the well-known evaporation induced capillary transport and the Marangoni effect.

description: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that causes a number of deaths, and the development of new, safer and more adequate TB inhibitors/drugs has become a necessity as well as a great challenge. Mycobacterial DNA gyrase B subunit has been identified to be one of the potentially underexploited drug targets in the field of anti-tubercular drug discovery. To design the novel and potent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) inhibitors, we performed molecular modeling studies that combined the 3D-QSAR, molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and binding free energy calculations. Forty eight quinoline-aminopiperidine inhibitors which act on DNA gyrase B subunit were used for constructing 3D-QSAR models. The results showed that the best CoMFA model had the high performance with q2 = 0.643, r2 = 0.947, while the best CoMSIA model yielded q2 = 0.536, r2 = 0.948. The contour map was in good agreement with the docking and MD simulations which strongly demonstrated that the molecular modeling was reliable. Based on this information, several potential compounds were designed and their inhibitory activities were also verified by the accomplished models and ADME/T predictions. We hope that our research could bring new ideas to facilitate the development of novel inhibitors with higher inhibitory activity for TB. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

Numerical study on the response of pile groups under lateral loading
Creators: name: Fayyazi, Mohammad Sajjad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: When piles act in a group, soil–pile interaction reduces the lateral resistance of the individual piles. A practical approach to characterize the group behavior in different pile groups is using appropriate factors such as p–multiplier or group reduction factor. The experimental studies on pile groups are usually carried out on small pile groups with close spacings and free-head condition. These limitations are due to the difficulty and high cost of full scale testing particularly in larger pile groups. These limitations justify using three–dimensional numerical simulations to study lateral response of pile groups. This research focuses on group reduction factors and p–multipliers to characterize the group effects in a wide range of pile groups. In order to systematically study the group reduction factors, a numerically derived benchmark database is established using a continuum approach to simulate the response of the pile groups. The capability of the numerical model in predicting the pile group behavior is first evaluated by three–dimensional continuum modeling of three field tests on actual pile groups. Then the continuum model is used to generate benchmark database. The calculated group reduction factors compare well with available experimental data, which are typically extracted from small pile groups. Current study also covers a wide range of pile groups with different numbers of piles, various pile spacings and pile head condition for which there is no experimental data available in the literature. Furthermore, this study gives greater insight into the interaction between piles based on their row position in the pile groups with different layouts. To this end, carried load at the pile head and bending moment profiles for different piles are compared based on their row position in the group when they are pushed simultaneously. The p–multipliers are also calculated to quantify the contribution of different rows to the lateral resistance of the group.The study shows that design guidelines such as AASHTO and FEMA P-751 overestimate the group reduction factors and p–multipliers, hence the lateral resistance, in larger pile groups or pile groups with larger spacings, especially for fixed pile head conditions.

Topologically Massive Gravity and Galilean Conformal Algebra: A Study of Correlation Functions
Creators: name: Bagchi, Arjun
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Galilean Conformal Algebra (GCA) arises from the relativistic conformal algebra in the non-relativistic limit. In two dimensions, one can view it as a limit of linear combinations of the two copies Virasoro algebra. Recently, it has been argued that Topologically Massive Gravity (TMG) realizes the quantum 2d GCA in a particular scaling limit of the gravitational Chern-Simons term. To add strength to this claim, we demonstrate a matching of correlation functions on both sides of this correspondence. A priori looking for spatially dependent correlators seems to force us to deal with high spin operators in the bulk. We get around this difficulty by constructing the non-relativistic Energy-Momentum tensor and considering its correlation functions. On the gravity side, our analysis makes heavy use of recent results of Holographic Renormalization in Topologically Massive Gravity.

Democracy for sale : the marketization of Canadian political discourse and its implications for democratic citizenship
Creators: name: Proctor, James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: An increasingly popular subject of focus within political science literature is the marketization of political discourse (Fairclough, 1995; Prince 2001; Simpson & Cheney, 2007). This article complements this body of literature by analysing how market-based discourse reinforces a passive frame of citizenship within Canadian politics. Market discourse utilizes concepts, values, and vocabularies commonly found in the marketplace – the language of branding, consumer satisfaction, efficiency and productivity – and applies it to the political realm. This paper argues that the marketization of political discourse frames politics as an area of social life predominantly concerned with the maximization of individual self-interest. In order to support this examination, political discourse analysis is combined with framing theory to analyse taxation discourse in party platforms from the 2011 Canadian federal election. Applying the frames to the party platforms reveals how market-based discourse reinforces a passive frame of citizens as self-interested, financially-motivated, and antisocial individuals. Marketization represents a worrisome trend in Canadian politics as it threatens to hollow out the public sphere by developing a consumption-oriented, self-interested civic culture.

description: We study competition between two biological species advected by a compressible velocity field. Individuals are treated as discrete Lagrangian particles that reproduce or die in a density-dependent fashion. In the absence of a velocity field and fitness advantage, number fluctuations lead to a coarsening dynamics typical of the stochastic Fisher equation. We then study three examples of compressible advecting fields: a shell model of turbulence, a sinusoidal velocity field and a linear velocity sink. In all cases, advection leads to a striking drop in the fixation time, as well as a large reduction in the global carrying capacity. Despite localization on convergence zones, one species goes extinct much more rapidly than in well-mixed populations. For a weak harmonic potential, one finds a bimodal distribution of fixation times. The long-lived states in this case are demixed configurations with a single boundary, whose location depends on the fitness advantage.

Air-quality model evaluation through the analysis of spatial-temporal ozone features
Creators: name: Shi, Tianji
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Legislative actions regarding ozone pollution use air quality models (AQMs) such as the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model for scientific guidance, hence the evaluation of AQM is an important subject. Traditional point-to-point comparisons between AQM outputs and physical observations can be uninformative or even misleading since the two datasets are generated by discrepant stochastic spatial processes. I propose an alternative model evaluation approach that is based on the comparison of spatial-temporal ozone features, where I compare the dominant space-time structures between AQM ozone and observations. To successfully implement feature-based AQM evaluation, I further developed a statistical framework of analyzing and modelling space-time ozone using ozone features. Rather than working directly with raw data, I analyze the spatial-temporal variability of ozone fields by extracting data features using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). These features are then modelled as Gaussian Processes (GPs) driven by various atmospheric conditions and chemical precursor pollution. My method is implemented on CMAQ outputs during several ozone episodes in the Lower Fraser Valley (LFV), BC. I found that the feature-based ozone model is an efficient way of emulating and forecasting a complex space-time ozone field. The framework of ozone feature analysis is then applied to evaluate CMAQ outputs against the observations. Here, I found that CMAQ persistently over-estimates the observed spatial ozone pollution. Through the modelling of feature differences, I identified their associations with the computer model's estimates of ozone precursor emissions, and this CMAQ deficiency is focused on LFV regions where the pollution process transitions from NOx-sensitive to VOC-sensitive. Through the comparison of dynamic ozone features, I found that the CMAQ's over-prediction is also connect to the model producing higher than observed ozone plume in daytime. However, the computer model did capture the observed pattern of diurnal ozone advection across LFV. Lastly, individual modelling of CMAQ and observed ozone features revealed that even under the same atmospheric conditions, CMAQ tends to significantly over-estimate the ozone pollution during the early morning. In the end, I demonstrated that the AQM evaluation methods developed in this thesis can provide informative assessments of an AQM's capability.

description: We present a census of molecular outflows across four active regions of star formation in the Perseus molecular cloud (NGC 1333, IC348/HH211, L1448 and L1455), totalling an area of over 1000 sq arcmin. This is one of the largest surveys of outflow evolution in a single molecular cloud published to date. We analyse large-scale, sensitive CO J=3-2 datasets from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, including new data towards NGC 1333. Where possible we make use of our complementary 13CO and C18O data to correct for the 12CO optical depth and measure ambient cloud properties. Of the 65 submillimetre cores in our fields, we detect outflows towards 45. We compare various parameters between the outflows from Class 0 and I protostars, including their mass, momentum, energy and momentum flux. Class 0 outflows are longer, faster, more massive and have more energy than Class I outflows. The dynamical time-scales we derive from these outflows are uncorrelated to the age of the outflow driving source, computed from the protostar's bolometric temperature. We confirm the results of Bontemps et al., that outflows decrease in force as they age, suggesting a decline in the mass accretion rate. If F_rad=L_bol/c is the flux expected in radiation from the central source, then F_CO(Class I)~100F_rad and F_CO(Class 0)~1000F_rad. Finally, we note that the total energy contained in outflows in NGC 1333, L1448 and L1455 is greater than the estimated turbulent energy in the respective regions, which may have implications for the regions' evolution.

Characterization of cricket paralysis virus-host interaction and viral protein synthesis
Creators: name: Khong, Anthony
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Viruses are obligate parasites that have evolved strategies to recruit the translational machinery and inhibit antiviral defences. A relatively abundant family of positive-sense, monopartitate single stranded RNA viruses, dicistrovirus, remains relatively uncharacterized. Dicistroviruses are infectious to arthopods and have impacted a number of agricultural industries. Dicistroviruses, as indicated by their name, contain two open reading frames (ORFs). The 5'-untranslated internal ribosome entry site (5'-UTR IRES) directs translation of ORF1 which encodes non-structural proteins and the intergenic (IGR) IRES directs translation of ORF2 which encodes structural proteins. How dicistroviruses affect the host is not completely understood. My thesis focuses on several host pathways that are modulated during cricket paralysis virus (CrPV) infection, a model dicistrovirus. During CrPV infection, I discovered stress granule (SG) formation is inhibited but granules containing poly(A)+ mRNAs form. Furthermore, I discovered a viral protein, CrPV 1A, that inhibits the SG pathway. Upon further characterization of CrPV 1A, I discovered the viral protein also stimulates 5'-dependent translation and 5'IRES dependent translation. Finally, I found IGR IRES-dependent translation is delayed compared to 5'-UTR IRES-dependent translation, thus providing a viral strategy of expressing non-structural proteins such as the replicase and protease prior to the synthesis of structural proteins for viral packaging. This thesis provides insights into the key strategies of dicistrovirus infection, its viral life cycle and the innate immune responses in insect cells.

description: We develop an enhanced technique for characterizing quantum optical processes based on probing unknown quantum processes only with coherent states. Our method substantially improves the original proposal [M. Lobino et al., Science 322, 563 (2008)], which uses a filtered Glauber-Sudarshan decomposition to determine the effect of the process on an arbitrary state. We introduce a new relation between the action of a general quantum process on coherent state inputs and its action on an arbitrary quantum state. This relation eliminates the need to invoke the Glauber-Sudarshan representation for states; hence it dramatically simplifies the task of process identification and removes a potential source of error. The new relation also enables straightforward extensions of the method to multi-mode and non-trace-preserving processes. We illustrate our formalism with several examples, in which we derive analytic representations of several fundamental quantum optical processes in the Fock basis. In particular, we introduce photon-number cutoff as a reasonable physical resource limitation and address resource vs accuracy trade-off in practical applications. We show that the accuracy of process estimation scales inversely with the square root of photon-number cutoff.

School violence : individual and group influences
Creators: name: Danbrook, Matthew Charles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Weapon carrying at school has been explained by a number of theories, but two dominate the literature: being fearful and trying to protect oneself from harm (fear-victimization hypothesis) or displaying behaviour consistent with a deviant lifestyle (lifestyle theory). This study replicated previous research by investigating the relative and combined influence of individual level processes related to weapon carrying, as hypothesized by the fear-victimization hypothesis (i.e., fear of victimization and victimization experiences) and lifestyle theory (i.e., alcohol and drug use). This study extended previous research by also considering an ecological model of weapon carrying by examining school level processes that may impact student weapon-carrying. Data was obtained from students (N= 50,334) in grades 8-12 in 69 schools in Western Canada who completed the Safe Schools and Social Responsibility Survey. Multilevel modeling was used to evaluate both individual and school level variables that underlie the two major theories of weapon carrying among youth. Results at the individual level provided support for both the fear-victimization hypothesis and the lifestyle theory, suggesting multiple pathways to deviant behaviour. Support was also found for the hypothesis that some school-level variables, as reflected in the collective experiences of the student body, influenced the relationship between individual level processes (i.e., a students reported fear of victimization, victimization experiences, and substance use) and weapon carrying.

Sublime cinema : experiential excess and embodied spectatorship in Godfrey Reggio's Qatsi trilogy
Creators: name: Bagatavicius, Adam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Certain aesthetic experiences resonate so profoundly that they can trigger extreme psychophysiological and emotional responses in the spectator. In this thesis I will explore how Godfrey Reggio's Koyaanisqatsi (1982), Powaqqatsi (1988), and Naqoyqatsi (2002) exemplify that the stylistic excess of non-verbal cinema can produce a sublime degree of experiential response by way of embodied spectatorship. I will use the observable elements of special effects, cinematography, and music in each film to locate sublime responses as palpable points of affective rupture where audiovisual stimuli results in psychophysiological emotional responses (visual hapticity, synesthesia, kinesthesia). The broader goal of defining “sublime cinema” is to a) reify how this mode of filmmaking relates to aspects of the Digital Age we are all a part of, and b) work towards an analytical methodology that might be applied to other experimental films in order to gauge at which point audiovisual content becomes fully embodied experience. First I will sketch out the genealogy of Reggio’s filmmaking style, reevaluate Kristin Thompson’s conceptualization of excess in relation to non-narrative cinema, integrate Vivian Sobchack’s research on embodied spectatorship, and unpack the sublime in order to define it cinematically. Second, I will focus on how special effects and cinematographic techniques (slow motion, time lapse, digital manipulation, and camera movement) activate the sublime aspect of an image. Third, I will hone in on the sonic aspect of sublime cinema, and how Philip Glass’ scores propel the image with the aid of biomusicological phenomena (rhythmic entrainment and chills). Lastly, I will discuss how Reggio’s most recent film Visitors (2013) expands on the architecture of sublime cinema by focusing on the reciprocated gaze of its filmed subjects.

description: Realization of logic circuits in graphene with an energy gap (EG) remains one of the main challenges for graphene electronics. We found that large transport EGs (>100 meV) can be fulfilled in dual-gated bilayer graphene underneath a simple alumina passivation top gate stack, which directly contacts the graphene channels without an inserted buffer layer. With the presence of EGs, the electrical properties of the graphene transistors are significantly enhanced, as manifested by enhanced on/off current ratio, subthreshold slope and current saturation. For the first time, complementary-like semiconducting logic graphene inverters are demonstrated that show a large improvement over their metallic counterparts. This result may open the way for logic applications of gap-engineered graphene.

Take a hike! : the cognitive effects of exposure to natural and urban environments
Creators: name: Bourrier, Stefan Christian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate links between attention restoration theory and executive function. A series of four experiments, each using a pre- versus post-test design, studied the influence of various interventions on executive function, as assessed by a backward digit span task and Raven’s progressive matrices. Experiment 1 began by testing the influence of cognitive strategy as manipulated through task instructions. Experiment 2 tested the influence of viewing slides of nature versus urban scenes, as predicted by attention restoration theory (Berman, et al., 2008). Experiment 3 repeated these procedures, using more engaging 10-min video tours of nature versus urban environments. Experiment 4 combined the successful instructional manipulations of Experiment 1 and the video manipulation of Experiment 3 to examine interactions between strategy and environment on executive function. The results showed that the nature video intervention reduced the influence of task instructions relative to the urban intervention. This supports Berman et al. (2008), who claim that exposure to nature has a restorative influence on executive function.
