Design evolution of engineering systems through modeling, on-line monitoring, and evolutionary optimization
Creators: name: Campos, Jesus Ramon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This work develops a framework of design evolution to support and automate the generation and evaluation of optimal multi-domain engineering designs. It integrates a Machine Health Monitoring System (MHMS), a Model Generation System (MGS), a Design Expert System (DES) and an Evolutionary Design Optimization System (EDOS) for aiding engineers through the redesign of an existing engineering system. First, the MHMS, while maintaining the engineering system in an operable condition by anticipating possible failures, indicates subsystems for possible design improvement. Second, the MGS which provides the capability of system modeling through the Linear Graphs approach enables representation of the current version of the system that is being designed. Third, the integration of a DES to the evolutionary framework provides automatic incorporation of expert suggestions into the system. Fourth, the EDOS automatically evolves mechatronic designs represented by Linear Graphs using Genetic Programming (GP). In addition, the Mechatronic Design Quotient has been proposed as the fitness function of the evolutionary process, as it provides an intelligent way to represent the quality of design using various design indices. Also it has proven to be a good approach to meet design constraints and do not violate the feasibility of implementation. The experimental system (Iron Butcher) is an automated industrial fish processing machine that already has a MHMS. Development of the DES is an on-going project of other researchers in our laboratory. The present thesis primarily focuses on the modeling using Linear Graph and design optimization using Genetic Programming. An algorithm which integrates GPLAB, a MATLAB toolbox for Genetic Programming, with the powerful modeling and simulation tool of Simscape is developed. Both the scheme and the design alternatives generated by the algorithm are validated using computer simulations and physical experimentation on a realistic environment. For this purpose, a state-space model of the electromechanical conveying system of the Iron Butcher is developed using Linear Graph modeling. Results show that under normal operating conditions, the response of the machine satisfactorily matches that of the state-space model. Also it is found that the new mechatronic engineering designs automatically evolved through the developed design framework successfully met the design requirements.

description: The geochemistry of saline springs discharging from Devonian carbonate rocks into the Clearwater and Athabasca rivers in northeastern Alberta was characterized using major ions, trace elements, dissolved gases, and PAHs. In addition, stable isotope analyses of H2O, SO4, DIC, Sr, and Cl were used to trace the provenance of spring waters, dissolved solutes, and subsurface processes affecting water chemistry. Spring waters were found to contain Laurentide glacial meltwater, which was supported by radioisotope analyses. The high salinity of the springs was found to be mainly due to evaporite and carbonate dissolution in the subsurface. Spring waters have been affected by bacterial sulfate reduction, methanogenesis, and methane oxidation. Trace elements and some PAHs were present in low concentrations, the origins of which did not seem to be weathering of bitumen. The total discharge of saline groundwater into the rivers over the study reach was estimated using a Cl isotope mass balance approach, which revealed that saline groundwater accounts for only a very small proportion of the annual mass flux in the rivers of trace elements and PAHs, but accounts for a higher proportion of major ions, particularly in the Clearwater River.

description: With Monte Carlo methods we study the dynamic relaxation of a vortex state at the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition of the two-dimensional XY model. A local pseudo-magnetization is introduced to characterize the symmetric structure of the dynamic systems. The dynamic scaling behavior of the pseudo-magnetization and Binder cumulant is carefully analyzed, and the critical exponents are determined. To illustrate the dynamic effect of the topological defect, similar analysis for the the dynamic relaxation with a spin-wave initial state is also performed for comparison. We demonstrate that a limited amount of quenched disorder in the core of the vortex state may alter the dynamic universality class. Further, theoretical calculations based on the long-wave approximation are presented.

description: With the new measurements of $J/ψ$ and $ψ^\prime\to γη_c \ (γη_c^\prime)$ from CLEO and BES-III Collaboration, we re-investigate the intermediate meson loop (IML) contributions to these radiative decays in association with the quark model M1 transitions in an effective Lagrangian approach. It shows that the "unquenched" effects due to the intermediate hadron loops can be better quantified by the new data for $J/ψ\to γη_c$. Although the IML contributions are relatively small in $J/ψ\to γη_c$, they play a crucial role in $ψ^\prime\to γη_c \ (γη_c^\prime)$. A prediction for the IML contributions to $ψ(3770)\to γη_c \ (γη_c^\prime)$ is made. Such "unquenched" effects allow us to reach a coherent description of those three radiative transitions, and gain some insights into the underlying dynamics.

description: We present a number of schemes that use quantum mechanics to preserve privacy, in particular, we show that entangled quantum states can be useful in maintaining privacy. We further develop our original proposal [see Phys. Lett. A 349, 75 (2006)] for protecting privacy in voting, and examine its security under certain types of attacks, in particular dishonest voters and external eavesdroppers. A variation of these quantum-based schemes can be used for multi-party function evaluation. We consider functions corresponding to group multiplication of $N$ group elements, with each element chosen by a different party. We show how quantum mechanics can be useful in maintaining the privacy of the choices group elements.

Identifying disinvestment options to increase the impact of priority setting in health care organizations
Creators: name: Dionne, Francois
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Choices about what to fund and what not to fund are necessary in health care because claims on resources always exceed those available. Moreover, the choices faced by decision-makers are often between or amongst a wide range of difficult to compare programs or interventions. It is no surprise, then, that processes that inform those choices are of considerable interest. Yet, we know that existing priority setting processes have found limited practical use and when used, are rarely used to their full potential. The objective of the current research was to produce new knowledge that would facilitate the use of formal priority setting processes in decision-making on resource allocation in health care. Based on a detailed review of the literature, a decision was made to focus on one particular aspect of priority setting in health care that has long been recognized as a significant barrier to the successful implementation of priority setting processes: the identification of disinvestment options. Building on initial exploratory research, a proposed procedural change to the Program Budgeting and Marginal Analysis (PBMA) priority setting process was designed to address challenges in identifying disinvestment options. The proposed procedural change was then evaluated in a case study as part of a real-world priority setting exercise. The key finding of this research project was that adding a step -- that focused on the determination and communication of acceptable service reductions, at the outset of process implementation -- to the standard PBMA process, has the potential to assist in ‘disarming’ organizational incentives that have been found to work against the identification of disinvestment options. This key finding is of critical importance because without practical disinvestment options, priority setting processes are likely to have limited impact on decision-making and therefore limited practical appeal. Further, without formal, structured priority setting processes that actually work in practice, resource allocation decisions will continue to follow historical patterns, leading to incremental growth without explicit consideration of return on investment. As such, this study makes a novel contribution to the literature in an area that is highly relevant to the everyday challenges faced by health care decision-makers.

description: Decision-making in various forms of software development is challenging, as the environment and context where decisions are made is complex, uncertain and/or dynamic. Because of the associated complexity, decision making based on prior experience and gut feelings often lead to sub-optimal decisions. Among the various decision-making activities, stakeholders often need to match one entity (e.g. software artifact, human resource) with another (e.g. human resource, software artifact). Data analytics has the potential to generate insights, extract patterns and trends from data to guide the decision makers to make better and informed decisions under various complex decision scenarios involving matching. To prove the benefits of data analytics in matching, we have used five matching decision problems from open source, closed-source and crowdsourced software development context. First, with the use of predictive analytics, we have shown how the success and failure of crowd workers in a new task can be predicted by learning patterns from their and their competitors’ past behaviors. Based on the predicted success chance, we have also designed a task recommendation system to prescribe best suited tasks to crowd workers (task-worker matching). Second, by integrating crowd workers’ learning preference with predictive analytics, we have demonstrated how task recommendations can be generated from historical data taking workers personal learning and earning goals into account. The conducted user evaluation shows very positive feedback about the usefulness of the recommendations. Third, we have designed a theme (semantic cohesiveness) based approach for feature-release matching to prescribe features for the next release of iterative and incremental software development, considering multiple objectives, constraints and stakeholders preference data. Fourth, we have presented a multi-objective developer-bug matching technique that can prescribe developers for a batch of bugs balancing bug fix time and bug fix cost utilizing data mined from version control repository. Finally, using textual data extracted from issue tracking systems, we have proposed a collaborative filtering and bi-term topic modeling based recommendation system for tagging issues (tag-issue matching). The conducted quantitative and qualitative evaluation shows that data from various sources can be utilized for effective matching in various forms of software development.

description: In a recent paper, Mansuripur et al. [Phys. Rev. A 84, 033813 (2011)] indicated and numerically verified the generation of the helical wavefront of optical beams using a conical-shape reflector. Because the optical reflection is largely free from chromatic aberrations, the conical reflector has an advantage of being able to manipulate the helical wavefront with broadband light such as white light or short light pulses. In this study, we introduce geometrical understanding of the function of the conical reflector using the spatially-dependent geometric phase, or more specifically, the spin redirection phase. We also present a theoretical analysis based on three-dimensional matrix calculus and elucidate relationships of the spin, orbital, and total angular momenta between input and output beams. These analyses are very useful when designing other optical devices that utilize spatially-dependent spin redirection phases. Moreover, we experimentally demonstrate the generation of helical beams from an ordinary Gaussian beam using a metallic conical-shape reflector.

description: Low-value clinical practices are common, and potentially harmful to patients and healthcare systems, yet the optimal approach to reducing (i.e. de-adopting) these practices is unknown. This thesis reports the results of three studies conducted with the overall objective of improving knowledge related to the de-adoption of low-value clinical practices in patients admitted to adult intensive care units (ICUs), an area known to have high resource consumption. First, a scoping review of the literature was conducted to systematically identify current knowledge regarding the science of de-adoption. From 109 citations, this review identified that current terminology is heterogeneous and poorly defined, that most of the literature evaluates the outcomes of some type of de-adoption effort, and that the most common (and least successful) approach to de-adoption is to wait for it to occur following passive diffusion of published research. A framework to guide the de-adoption process is proposed. Second, another scoping review using a replication research framework was conducted to identify low-value clinical practices among patients admitted to adult ICUs. Low-value practices were those wherein new evidence (i.e. replication research) suggests that an intervention previously thought to be beneficial is ineffective or harmful (i.e. evidence reversal). This review demonstrated that the results of nearly half of original replicated citations were reversed (n = 35, 49%), with the highest proportion of reversals in practices originally found to be beneficial (n = 21, 60%). Third, an interrupted time series analysis using the APACHE clinical database and patients admitted to adult ICUs in the United States examined the effects of replication research on clinical practice for a practice with evidence reversal, namely tight glycemic control. This study found notable changes in the practice of glycemic control following a clinical trial that demonstrated the benefits of tight glycemic control, with comparatively less change following a methodologically more rigorous trial that demonstrated its harmful effects. Taken together, the results of these three studies demonstrate the urgent need for additional research to understand and promote the de-adoption of low-value clinical practices.

description: Negli ultimi decenni le città hanno modificato la propria forma in relazione ai grandi cambiamenti sociali ed economici caratteristici della società contemporanea; nel cambiamento la città ha trasformato, migliorandoli, alcuni spazi della vita collettiva mentre, al contrario, ha accelerato il degrado e la frammentazione di quegli ambiti difficilmente trasformabili, che non hanno saputo adeguarsi ai ritmi ed alla velocità della città contemporanea. I principali spazi che hanno subito questa disgregazione sono proprio gli spazi pubblici che non sono stati interessati da una riconversione in luoghi della città contemporanea. L’Olanda pone, sin dagli anni ’70, una grande attenzione al rapporto forma-funzione ed è caratterizzata da una produzione costante di documenti politici di strategia nazionale e comunale in cui si evince una attenzione crescente e strategica al progetto della città, prima moderna poi contemporanea, ed al governo della sua complessità; una attenzione al disegno urbano, alle politiche ed alle vision comunali, ma anche e sopratutto alla qualità dello spazio urbano ed alla qualità della dimensione fisica e sociale.

description: We study atomic autoionization processes in the time domain. With the emerging attosecond extreme vacuum ultraviolet and soft x-ray pulses, we first address how to characterize the time evolution of the decay of a discrete state into a degenerate continuum. A short pump beam generates a number of resonance states in a series and the nearby background continuum, and the resultant wave packet evolves with time until the full decay of the bound states. Taking the 2pns(^1P^o) resonance series embedded in the 2sEp(^1P^o) continuum in beryllium atom as an example, the time evolution of the autoionizing wave packet in energy domain and in coordinate space is calculated and analyzed, where Fano profiles build up in the photoelectron energy during the process. A proposed pump-probe scheme assumes that the probe beam ionizes the 2s inner electron in the wave packet. The lifetimes of the resonances and the photoelectron energy distribution can be obtained from the ionization yield versus the time delay of the probe.

We show that this system possesses an effective mechanical dark state which is immune to mechanical dissipation; utilizing this feature allows highly efficient transfer of intra-cavity states, as well as of itinerant photon states. We provide simple analytic expressions for the fidelity of transferring both Gaussian and non-Gaussian states.

While many people in the Crowsnest Pass rejected institutional religion in the early twentieth century, many members of the working-class articulated their own versions of religious and spiritual belief. Popular beliefs that are rooted in Christian thought were an important part of the lives of the Crowsnest Pass working class during the first half of the twentieth century as they dealt with high rates of death in their communities.

description: Production cross sections of evaporation residues, $^{149}$Tb, $^{150}$Tb, $^{151}$Tb and $^{149}$Gd, have been measured using the stacked foil technique followed by off-line $γ$-spectrometry in $^{12}$C induced reactions on naturally abundant mononuclidic praseodymium target in the 44-79 MeV incident energy range. Measured data have been interpreted comparing with previous measurements and theoretical prediction of nuclear reaction model code \textsc{PACE4}. About 5% and 14% of the theoretical cross sections have been measured for $^{149}$Tb and $^{150}$Tb, respectively. The new cross sections of $^{149}$Tb complement those measured earlier by $α$-spectrometry. Cross sections of $^{151}$Tb are comparable to the theory. Cumulative cross section of $^{149}$Gd sheds light on the nuclear reaction mechanism. In addition, a discussion has been made to show the feasibility of producing $^{149}$Tb in $p$- and $α$-induced reactions on gadolinium isotopes.

description: Within the literature exploring parents’ emotion socialization and meta-emotion philosophy influence on children’s emotion regulation, there is a strong need to assess paternal contributions to children’s emotion regulation. The present study addressed this limitation through its inclusion of both biological mothers and fathers. Correlational and Analysis of Variance methodologies were employed to assess the relationship between mothers’ and fathers’ emotion-related beliefs and practices, how their beliefs and practices relate to children’s emotion regulation, and the impact of parent and child gender, if any, on these interrelations. Although the results revealed minor differences between that mothers’ and fathers’ meta-emotion philosophy and its relation to their emotion socialization practices, they key finding is that mothers and fathers were highly similar across the majority of their emotion-related beliefs and practices. Serving to both substantiate several extant trends and highlight important maternal and paternal differences, this study offers unique contributions to the parenting literature.

description: The virial theorem is applied to graphene and other Dirac Materials for systems close to the Dirac points where the dispersion relation is linear. From this, we find the exact form for the total energy given by $E = \mathcal{B}/r_s$ where $r_s a_0$ is the mean radius of the $d$-dimensional sphere containing one particle, with $a_0$ the Bohr radius, and $\mathcal{B}$ is a constant independent of $r_s$. This result implies that, given a linear dispersion and a Coulombic interaction, there is no Wigner crystalization and that calculating $\mathcal{B}$ or measuring at any value of $r_s$ determines the energy and compressibility for all $r_s$. In addition to the total energy we calculate the exact forms of the chemical potential, pressure and inverse compressibility in arbitrary dimension.

The influence of interference on the Kondo effect
Creators: name: Malecki, Justin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Kondo effect, wherein a local magnetic moment is screened via interactions with a continuum of quantum excitations, occurs in quantum dots with an odd number of electrons. By placing a quantum dot in an Aharanov-Bohm interferometer, one is able to probe the effects of electron interference on the manifestation of the Kondo effect. In this thesis, we present a theoretical study of the Kondo effect in a model system of a quantum dot embedded in an Aharanov-Bohm interferometer connected to two conducting leads. By transforming to the scattering basis of the direct inter-lead tunneling, we are able to describe precisely how the Kondo screening of the dot spin occurs. We calculate the Kondo temperature and zero-temperature conductance and find that both are influenced by the Aharanov-Bohm interferometer as well as the electron density in the leads. We also calculate the form of an additional potential scattering term that arises at low energies due to the breaking of particle-hole symmetry. In addition to these analytic results, a numerical renormalization group analysis of the system is presented. We fully describe the influence of the Aharanov-Bohm interferometer on the renormalization group flow of the quantum dot model and obtain strong support for the derived form of the Kondo temperature. A method for extracting the phase shifts of the strong-coupling fixed point from the numerical data is described. These phase shifts are compared with those derived analytically, providing further support for our conclusions.

description: We present the X-ray point-source catalog produced from the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I) observations of the combined \sim3.2 deg2 DEEP2 (XDEEP2) survey fields, which consist of four ~0.7-1.1 deg2 fields. The combined total exposures across all four XDEEP2 fields range from ~10ks-1.1Ms. We detect X-ray point-sources in both the individual ACIS-I observations and the overlapping regions in the merged (stacked) images. We find a total of 2976 unique X-ray sources within the survey area with an expected false-source contamination of ~30 sources (~1%). We present the combined logN-logS distribution of sources detected across the XDEEP2 survey fields and find good agreement with the Extended Chandra Deep Field and Chandra-COSMOS fields to f_{X,0.5-2keV}\sim2x10^{-16} erg/cm^2/s. Given the large survey area of XDEEP2, we additionally place relatively strong constraints on the logN-logS distribution at high fluxes (f_{X,0.5-2keV}\sim3x10^{-14} erg/cm^2/s), and find a small systematic offset (a factor ~1.5) towards lower source numbers in this regime, when compared to smaller area surveys. The number counts observed in XDEEP2 are in close agreement with those predicted by X-ray background synthesis models. Additionally, we present a Bayesian-style method for associating the X-ray sources with optical photometric counterparts in the DEEP2 catalog (complete to R_AB < 25.2) and find that 2126 (~71.4\pm2.8%) of the 2976 X-ray sources presented here have a secure optical counterpart with a <6% contamination fraction. We provide the DEEP2 optical source properties (e.g., magnitude, redshift) as part of the X-ray-optical counterpart catalog.

description: Showy inflorescences - clusters of flowers - are a common feature of many plants, greatly contributing to their beauty. The large numbers of individual flowers (florets), systematically arranged in space, make inflorescences a natural target for procedural modeling. This thesis presents a suite of biologically motivated algorithms for modeling and animating the development of inflorescences, each sharing the following characteristics: (i) the ensemble of florets create a relatively smooth, tightly packed, often approximately planar surface; (ii) there are numerous collisions between petals of florets; and (iii) the developmental stages and types of florets each depends upon their positions within the inflorescence. A single framework drives the floral canopy's development and resolves the collisions. Flat-topped branched inflorescences (corymbs and umbels) are modeled using a florets-first algorithm, wherein the branching structure self-organizes to support florets in predetermined positions. This suite of techniques is illustrated with models from several plant families.

description: This paper analyzes price collusion in a repeated game with two submarkets; a standard and a premium quality segment. Within this setting, we study four types of price-fixing agreement: (i) a segment-wide cartel in the premium submarket only, (ii) a segment-wide cartel in the standard submarket only, (iii) two segment-wide cartels, and (iv) an industry-wide cartel. We present a complete characterization of the collusive pricing equilibrium and examine the corresponding effect on market shares and welfare. Partial cartels operating in a sufficiently large segment lose market share and the industry-wide cartel prefers to maintain market shares at pre-collusive levels. The impact on consumer and social welfare critically depends on the cost of producing quality. Moreover, given that there is a cartel, more collusion can be beneficial for society as a whole.
