description: We use an infinite-range Maier-Saupe model, with two sets of local quadrupolar variables and restricted orientations, to investigate the global phase diagram of a coupled system of two nematic subsystems. The free energy and the equations of state are exactly calculated by standard techniques of statistical mechanics. The nematic-isotropic transition temperature of system A increases with both the interaction energy among mesogens of system B, and the two-subsystem coupling $J$. This enhancement of the nematic phase is manifested in a global phase diagram in terms of the interaction parameters and the temperature $T$. We make some comments on the connections of these results with experimental findings for a system of diluted ferroelectric nanoparticles embedded in a nematic liquid-crystalline environment.

description: We consider large-scale industrial computer model calibration, combining multi-output simulation with limited physical observation, involved in the development of a honeycomb seal. Toward that end, we adopt a localized sampling and emulation strategy called “on-site surrogates (OSSs),” designed to cope with the amalgamated challenges of high-dimensional inputs, large-scale simulation campaigns, and nonstationary response surfaces. In previous applications, OSSs were one-at-a-time affairs for multiple outputs leading to dissonance in calibration efforts for a common parameter set across outputs for the honeycomb. We demonstrate that a principal-components representation, adapted from ordinary Gaussian process surrogate modeling to the OSS setting, can resolve this tension. With a two-pronged—optimization and fully Bayesian—approach, we show how pooled information across outputs can reduce uncertainty and enhance efficiency in calibrated parameters and prediction for the honeycomb relative to the previous, “data-poor” univariate analog.

description: We present an approach for characterizing complex temporal behavior in the sensor measurements of a system in order to support detection of anomalies in that system. We first characterize typical behavior by extending a hidden Markov model-based approach to time series alignment. We then use a trace of that learned behavior to develop a particle filter that enables efficient estimation of the filtering distribution on the state space. This produces filtered residuals that can then be used in an anomaly detection framework. Our motivating example is the daily behavior of a building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, using sensor measurements that arrive every minute and induce a state space with 15,120 states. We provide an end-to-end demonstration of our approach showing improved performance of anomaly detection after application of alignment and filtering compared to the unaligned data. The proposed model is implemented as a computationally efficient R package alignts (align time series) built with R and Fortran 95 with OpenMP support.
Upgrades of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer Front-end Electronics for the High-Luminosity LHC

description: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) is an upgraded version of the LHC that will further increase the instantaneous luminosity by a factor of 5-7.5 and the integrated luminosity by a factor of 10. The ATLAS detector is one of the two general-purpose detectors at the LHC. It offers unique opportunities to study properties of fundamental particles and explore physics beyond the Standard Model. The current detector needs to be upgraded to maintain or improve its performance to profit from the HL-LHC operation. Two major upgrades, the Phase-I upgrade and the Phase-II upgrade, have been planned and they are both 10-year-long projects. The integration and commissioning of the Phase-I upgrade happened during the period between 2019 and 2021. The innermost endcap station of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer was replaced by a New Small Wheel (NSW) detector to reduce fake muon triggers and to improve offline muon track measurements for future HL-LHC runs. The small-strip Thin Gap Chamber (sTGC) is the primary trigger detector for the NSW. It utilizes the sTGC pad detector to form a coarse region of interest (ROI) and read out the charge information from the sTGC strip detector underneath the ROI. The charge information is further used to generate trigger primitives for the first-level trigger. This dissertation presents the design of a mobile data acquisition system and its application to the sTGC trigger chain integration and commissioning. This dissertation also presents cosmic ray studies with an sTGC chamber, which provides first insights into the performance of the sTGC detector in the trigger chain with final front-end electronics. For the first time, the sTGC strip charges from the detector were read out through the trigger chain data path. The integration and commissioning of the Phase-II upgrade will happen during the period between 2025 and 2027. The primary muon tracking detector, Monitored Drift Tube (MDT), will also be used as a trigger device at the first trigger level to improve the trigger muon momentum resolution. The present MDT electronic system can not offer enough bandwidth for the increased event rate (by about an order of magnitude) at the HL-LHC. As a result, all MDT front-end and back-end electronics need to be replaced. This dissertation presents the development of a Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for the new MDT front-end electronics. The TDC provides digitization of the rising and falling edges of the earliest arrival signal, which is the basis for all subsequent trigger and readout processing. Detailed performance studies have been performed on the produced prototype chips.

description: Excerpts from the report: The future growth of the freeze-drying industry depends largely on the absolute level of freeze-drying costs. It also depends on the cost of freeze-drying relative to costs of processing by alternative methods. Developed here are estimates of the industry's future. Also, predictions are made concerning competition of freeze-drying with other food processing industries, and the effects on associated industries. The general purpose of this study is to add to the economic understanding of freeze-drying. Presented are some research projections that serve as a basis for estimating the future of food freeze-drying, especially as processing costs affect the industry. Specific objectives include: (1) Determining the effect of different foods, multiple shifts, length of processing season, wage rates, and drying-cycle time on short-run, freeze-dry processing costs and (2) determining the effect of plant size on long-run costs. Emphasis is on changes in cost of freeze-drying associated with changes in size or scale of the plant.
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in landfills from electronic waste
Creators: name: Danon-Schaffer, Monica N.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Previous research on Brominated Flame Retardants (BFRs), including Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), has largely focused on their concentrations in the environment and their adverse effects on human health. This thesis explores how these compounds reach the environment, how they are transferred from waste streams to water and soil, and how they are transported to distant locations like Northern Canada. Landfills, which receive a large proportion of society’s discarded consumer waste products, including electronic wastes (e-waste), are the major focus of attention. Leachate was collected and analysed from 27 landfills across southern Canada and 11 dump sites in the Canadian North. There was wide variability in the results, both in terms of the total concentrations of PBDEs and in the distribution of congeners. Northern sites tended to have lower PBDE concentrations than southern ones, but some levels were significant despite the low population density and lack of industry in the north. The North provides a sink for PBDE contaminants. Significant differences in PBDE levels in leachate in contact with wastes originating in different 5-year time intervals suggest that the time-of-manufacture of electronic goods plays an important role in determining the rate of PBDE release into the environment. Electronic components manufactured in the 1985-89 period were found to have especially high PBDE concentrations. Experiments were carried out in which e-waste was contacted with distilled water and leachate from a major urban landfill in a custom-built contactor. There was transfer of PBDEs to the aqueous phase which increased with greater contact time and increasing temperature. Exposing e-waste to distilled water led to lower PBDE concentrations, probably due to dislodgement of fine dust from the surface of e-waste particles. A comprehensive mole balance model was prepared to assist in predicting the concentration of PBDEs in and near landfills. The balances were applied to different homologue groups and different subsystems - field e-waste, non-e-waste solids, and aqueous phase. Mass transfer parameters were obtained from solid-liquid contacting experiments with crushed e-waste. Simulations indicate that PBDEs will persist for decades in the environment even if they are no longer manufactured and incorporated in plastics.

description: We apply hard pion Chiral Perturbation Theory to charmonium decays to $ππ$, $KK$ and $ηη$. We first discuss why we expect to be able to provide results for the chiral logarithms in $χ_{c0}$ and $χ_{c2}$ decays to two pseudoscalars while for the decays from $J/ψ$, $ψ(nS)$ and $χ_{c1}$ no simple prediction is possible. The leading chiral logarithm turns out to be absent for $χ_{c0},χ_{c2}\to PP$. This result is true for all fully chiral singlet states of spin zero and two.

The RFI concluded: 1) a Corrective Measures Study (CMS) should be implemented to address VOC and lead concentrations in groundwater, 2) surface water sampling should be included in the CMS to monitor for changes in surface water VOC concentrations; 3) an IM soil excavation should be performed and the excavation areas should be delineated to the FDEP residential Soil Cleanup Target Level (SCTL) and Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) criteria, and 4) no further action is needed for sediment.
Spin-Down of Radio Millisecond Pulsars at Genesis

description: Millisecond pulsars are old neutron stars that have been spun up to high rotational frequencies via accretion of mass from a binary companion star. An important issue for understanding the physics of the early spin evolution of millisecond pulsars is the impact of the expanding magnetosphere during the terminal stages of the mass-transfer process. Here I report binary stellar evolution calculations that show that the braking torque acting on a neutron star, when the companion star decouples from its Roche-lobe, is able to dissipate >50% of the rotational energy of the pulsar. This effect may explain the apparent difference in observed spin distributions between x-ray and radio millisecond pulsars and help account for the noticeable age discrepancy with their young white dwarf companions.

Development of an analytical tool for anaerobic digestion of organic wastes
Creators: name: Wang, Yu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Anaerobic digesters decompose organic matter biologically in the absence of oxygen. In some cases, in addition to waste management, the purpose of anaerobic digestion (AD) is to produce methane, which can be used for energy. In the Fraser Valley region, potentially 30 MW of energy can be generated through AD with the additional benefits of reduced odour, green house gas (GHG) emissions and soil and water contamination, which is produced currently from artificial fertilizers. The main goal of this research project is to develop an anaerobic digestion calculator that would assist farm and herd owners in the Lower Fraser Valley in making decisions on choosing suitable anaerobic digestion technologies for their own farms. The calculator is developed from Excel spreadsheets and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). These user interfaces take inputs, send the inputs to the corresponding spreadsheet cells, and block invalid inputs from causing calculation error. The new calculator uses the Lawrence and McCarty kinetic model to calculate substrate consumed during AD. This calculator takes hydraulic retention time (HRT) and feed, via animal counts, single-defined flow or mixing several waste sources, as inputs. From these inputs and default kinetic parameters, which can be modified, reactor size, biogas production rate, effluent characteristics, capital cost and revenue of the AD plant are calculated and summarized for users. Users can select one of the three possible digester configurations: completely-mixed, plug-flow and mixed plug-flow and heat and electricity co-generation or biogas upgrading. Currently the calculator is valid for simulating AD in the mesophilic temperature range only. Further modifications are needed to include other kinetic models, input more feed types and simulate thermophilic AD.

The purpose of the cultural resource surveys is to identify and establish boundaries of previously unrecorded archaeological sites. In January 2009 a survey was conducted of LMU 109 and is the subject of this report. Land Management Unit 109 was subjected to a cultural resources assessment to identify the presence of archaeological sites or historic properties. Background research determined the area was highly disturbed and had little potential for intact cultural resources. The subject property was then subjected to a systematic archaeological survey which confirmed the findings of the background research. There is no need for further action within this LMU. .

description: The industrial development of new production processes like additive manufacturing (AM) is making available novel types of complex shapes that go beyond traditionally manufactured geometries and 2.5D free-form surfaces. New challenges must be faced to characterize, model and monitor the natural variability of such complex shapes, since previously proposed methods based on parametric models are not applicable. The present study proposes a methodology that applies to complex shapes represented in the form of triangulated meshes, which is the current standard for AM data format. The method combines a novel bi-directional way to model the deviation between the reconstructed geometry (e.g., via X-ray computed tomography) and the nominal geometry (i.e., the originating 3D model) with a profile monitoring approach for the detection of out-of-control shapes. A paradigmatic example consisting of an egg-shaped trabecular shell representative of real parts produced via AM is used to illustrate the methodology and to test its effectiveness in detecting real geometrical distortions.

description: High-pressure infrared transmission measurements on \PhC60 were performed up to 9 GPa over a broad frequency range (200 - 20000 cm$^{-1}$) to monitor the vibrational and electronic/vibronic excitations under pressure. The four fundamental T$_{1u}$ modes of \C60a\ are split into doublets already at the lowest applied pressure and harden with increasing pressure. Several cation modes and fullerene-related modes split into doublets at around 2 GPa, the most prominent one being the G$_{1u}$ mode. The splitting of the vibrational modes can be attributed to the transition from the dynamic to static Jahn-Teller effect, caused by steric crowding at high pressure. Four absorption bands are observed in the NIR-VIS frequency range. They are discussed in terms of transitions between LUMO electronic states in \C60a, which are split because of the Jahn-Teller distortion and can be coupled with vibrational modes. Various distortions and the corresponding symmetry lowering are discussed. The observed redshift of the absorption bands indicates that the splitting of the LUMO electronic states is reduced upon pressure application.

description: Online experiments are the gold standard for evaluating impact on user experience and accelerating innovation in software. However, since experiments are typically limited in duration, observed treatment effects are not always stable, sometimes revealing increasing or decreasing patterns over time. There are multiple causes for a treatment effect to change over time. In this article, we focus on a particular cause, user-learning, which is primarily associated with novelty or primacy. Novelty describes the desire to use new technology that tends to diminish over time. Primacy describes the growing engagement with technology as a result of adoption of the innovation. Estimating user-learning is critical because it holds experimentation responsible for trustworthiness, empowers organizations to make better decisions by providing a long-term view of expected impact, and prevents user dissatisfaction. In this article, we propose an observational approach, based on difference-in-differences technique to estimate user-learning at scale. We use this approach to test and estimate user-learning in many experiments at Microsoft. We compare our approach with the existing experimental method to show its benefits in terms of ease of use and higher statistical power, and to discuss its limitation in presence of other forms of treatment interaction with time.
Metabolic profiling of inflammatory synovial fluid

description: Synovial fluid (SF) has unique properties regarding the maintenance of joint homeostasis. It consists mainly of proteins, but also small molecules, which are metabolic derivatives of these proteins. These molecules can be assessed by metabolic profiling using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry (MS). A systematic review identified over 200 metabolites, from which 26 were putative biomarkers in osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthropathies and trauma. The molecular composition of osteoarthritic and infected SF was examined using NMR spectroscopy. Due to ethical constraints, it was not possible to collect samples from normal joints. It was hypothesised that SF of hip and knee joints have different metabolic characteristics. Osteoarthritic hip and knee samples were taken and assessed for differences in their metabolic composition. Four metabolites presented in significantly greater quantities in the knee compared to the hip group (N-acetylated molecules, glycosaminoglycans, citrate, glutamine). These are involved in collagen degradation, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative metabolism in diseased joints. These findings may represent a combination of intra and extra-articular factors. Another promising application was to examine infected versus non-infected SF. Three classes of metabolites presented in higher relative concentrations (lipids, cholesterol and N-acetylated molecules) and 13 in lower relative concentrations in the infected group. Metabolites in significantly greater concentrations in the infected cohort represented those having a defensive role against pathogenic microorganisms, a role in lipid metabolism and the inflammatory response. Those in significantly reduced concentrations were involved in carbohydrate (citrate, glucose and mannose) and nucleoside metabolism (glycine, glutamine and valine), the glutamate metabolic pathway (glutamine, proline and lysine), increased oxidative stress in the diseased state (dimethylsulfone) and reduced articular cartilage breakdown (glycosaminoglycans). Future studies should include larger cohorts to confirm these findings and validation of the identified metabolites using other metabolic profiling techniques with more targeted analysis, such as MS. This may ultimately lead to identifying putative biomarkers that form the bases of new diagnostic tests.

description: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, is proposing to construct additional shore protection in southern Brevard County, Florida. A single borrow area (Space Coast Shoals II) and a sand re-handling area (South Reach Sand Rehandling Area) will be utilized during the proposed project. To insure that no significant shipwrecks or other archaeological resources are adversely effected by the planned offshore shore protection project, the Jacksonville District contracted Mid-Atlantic Technology and Environmental Research, Inc. (M-AT/ER) of Castle Hayne, North Carolina, to conduct a literature search and archaeological survey to identify any submerged cultural resources in areas effected by the project. The archaeological survey included a marine remote sensing survey using a marine magnetometer and side-scan sonar to identify any submerged cultural resources within the proposed borrow areas. M-AT/ER conducted historical research and field investigations for the project between 30 July and 3 November 2001. No magnetic or acoustic targets were identified in either the Space Coast Shoals II or the South Reach Re-handling Area. No additional investigations or mitigation were recommended.

description: The interaction of targeted drug carriers with epithelial and endothelial barriers in vivo is largely determined by the dynamics of the body fluids. To simulate these conditions in binding assays, a fully biocompatible in vitro model was developed which can accurately mimic a wide range of physiological flow conditions on a thumbnail-format cell-chip. This acoustically-driven microfluidic system was used to study the interaction characteristics of protein-coated particles with cells. Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microparticles (2.86 {\pm} 0.95 μm) were conjugated with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA-MP, cytoadhesive protein) or bovine serum albumin (BSA-MP, nonspecific protein) and their binding to epithelial cell monolayers was investigated under stationary and flow conditions. While mean numbers of 1500 {\pm} 307 mm-2 WGA-MP and 94 {\pm} 64 mm-2 BSA-MP respectively were detected to be cell-bound in the stationary setup, incubation at increasing flow velocities increasingly antagonized the attachment of both types of surface-modified particles. However, while binding of BSA-MP was totally inhibited by flow, grafting with WGA resulted in a pronounced anchoring effect. This was indicated by a mean number of 747 {\pm} 241 mm-2 and 104 {\pm} 44 mm-2 attached particles at shear rates of 0.2 s-1 and 1 s-1 respectively. Due to the compactness of the fluidic chip which favours parallelization, this setup represents a highly promising approach towards a screening platform for the performance of drug delivery vehicles under physiological flow conditions. In this regard, the flow-chip is expected to provide substantial information for the successful design and development of targeted micro- and nanoparticulate drug carrier systems.

description: Thompson sampling is a popular algorithm for tackling multi-armed bandit problems, and has been applied in a wide range of applications, from website design to portfolio optimization. In such applications, however, the number of choices (or arms) N can be large, and the data needed to make adaptive decisions require expensive experimentation. One is then faced with the constraint of experimenting on only a small subset of K≪N arms within each time period, which poses a problem for traditional Thompson sampling. We propose a new Thompson Sampling under Experimental Constraints (TSEC) method, which addresses this so-called “arm budget constraint.” TSEC makes use of a Bayesian interaction model with effect hierarchy priors, to model correlations between rewards on different arms. This fitted model is then integrated within Thompson sampling, to jointly identify a good subset of arms for experimentation and to allocate resources over these arms. We demonstrate the effectiveness of TSEC in two applications with arm budget constraints. The first is a simulated website optimization study, where TSEC shows considerable improvements over industry benchmarks. The second is a portfolio optimization application on industry-based exchange-traded funds, where TSEC provides more consistent and greater wealth accumulation over standard investment strategies.
