description: Нефтедобыча в современных условиях осложнена рядом негативных факторов, что характерно и для месторождений Башкортостана, находящихся на поздней стадии разработки. В условиях перехода к приоритетности отечественной продукции в статье обоснована актуальность применения полимерных реагентов, имеющих природное происхождение. В этом качестве в статье рассмотрены реагенты на основе природных полисахаридов: крахмала, целлюлозы, камедей, использование которых способно придавать буровым растворам улучшенные фильтрационные, реологические, ингибирующие и псевдопластичные свойства, важные при бурении горизонтальных скважин в неустойчивых заглинизированных коллекторах. Рассмотрен положительный опыт применения полимерглинистых, безглинистых, эмульсионных буровых растворов, полученных на основе полимеров различного класса: акрилатов, полисахаридов, биополимеров, модифицированных крахмалов, карбоксии полианионной целлюлозы и показано, что для инженерно-технологического сопровождения бурения горизонтальных стволов на месторождениях Башкортостана, перспективным в экономическом, экологическом и техническом аспектах является использование отечественной реагентной базы, основу которой составляют природные ресурсовозобновляемые полисахаридные системы.

description: На сегодняшний день высокую актуальность имеет проблематика оценки экологических рисков при ведении процессов нефтегазодобычи. Существующие методики оценки экологических рисков предоставляют разрозненные и фрагментированные данные, не отражающие полной картины воздействия на окружающую среду. Отсутствие единой методики оценки, учитывающей воздействие на все элементы окружающей среды и человека в том числе, в конечном счете, сказывается на достоверности информации по состоянию природной среды во время и по окончании добычных работ. Целью данной работы является создание комплексной методики оценки экологических рисков. Для этого из существующих методик были отобраны наиболее показательные, отражающие воздействие на все элементы природной среды. Комплекс методик был использован для оценки экологического риска объектов ООО «Иркутская нефтяная компания». Применение данной комплексной методики на нефтегазодобывающих предприятиях позволит избежать неучтенной экологической нагрузки.

description: Diffusion in a linear potential in the presence of position-dependent killing is used to mimic a default process. Different assumptions regarding transport coefficients, initial conditions, and elasticity of the killing measure lead to diverse models of bankruptcy. One "stylized fact" is fundamental for our consideration: empirically default is a rather rare event, especially in the investment grade categories of credit ratings. Hence, the action of killing may be considered as a small parameter. In a number of special cases we derive closed-form expressions for the entire term structure of the cumulative probability of default, its hazard rate and intensity. Comparison with historical data on global corporate defaults confirms applicability of the model-independent perturbation method for companies in the investment grade categories of credit ratings and allows for

description: Abstract: Rapid and recent developments in prenatal care, combined with an increase in knowledge of fetal development, have led to a higher scrutiny of maternal behaviour during pregnancy. Novel tools for the detection of prenatal exposure to drugs and alcohol are currently being explored in research and in practice. Neonatal hair and meconium are two novel screening matrices. National clinical practice guidelines regarding neonatal hair and meconium screening do not currently exist. Health care providers have questions regarding new screening modalities, including what constitutes an indication to screen, whether informed consent is required, and the uses to which screening results will be put. This study found that screening results have been used as evidence in the Canadian courts in multiple contexts, and argues that policies and guidelines for screening practices, along with judicial education, is essential to protect the rights and interests of both children and mothers.
Transport and size-separation of airborne particles in a microchannel for continuous particle monitoring
Creators: name: Schaap, Allison Schaap
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Microfluidics research and development has emerged as a novel and promising tool for the development of sensors and actuators. However, one area in which microfluidics has been only minimally employed is in the handling of airborne particles, or aerosols. The real-time monitoring of aerosols is important for protecting human health and earth’s environment. The small size of microchannels, coupled with the opportunity to integrate sensing technologies, suggests them as a promising tool for the next generation of aerosol sensors. To that end, this thesis presents a microfluidics-based system for the size-separation of aerosols. Specifically, centrifugal force is exerted on each particle as it travels around a curved microchannel, resulting in the particle occupying a size-dependent lateral position in the channel. The behaviours of aerosols in a microchannel are examined, including the effects of flow focusing, the diffusion of airborne particles in a channel, and the centrifugal and viscous forces exerted on particles in a curved microchannel. Mathematical descriptions and computer simulations of these effects are developed to model these effects. Straight and curved microchannels were fabricated and each of these effects was measured experimentally, and compared to the models. Various combinations of airborne particles between 0.2 µm and 3.2 µm were successfully separated by size. A prototype optical particle detector was built and tested for its suitability as a candidate for integration with the microchannel particle separator. This represents the first approach in which aerosols have been separated by centrifugal forces in a microchannel, and one of very few approaches that have been used for any kind of size-based separation of airborne particles in microchannels. The small footprint and potential for integration offered by microsystem fabrication technology make it a desirable avenue of pursuit for the development of small, portable particulate monitors. The results presented here confirm that this approach to size-separation is a feasible option for a future microsystem based size-selective particulate monitor.

description: The Andreev reflection amplitude at a clean interface between a half-metallic ferromagnet (H) and a superconductor (S) for which the half metal's magnetization has a gradient perpendicular to the interface is proportional to the excitation energy $\varepsilon$ and vanishes at $\varepsilon=0$ [Béri {\em et al.}, Phys.\ Rev.\ B {\bf 79}, 024517 (2009)]. Here we show that the presence of impurities at or in the immediate vicinity of the HS interface leads to a finite Andreev reflection amplitude at $\varepsilon=0$. This impurity-assisted Andreev reflection dominates the low-bias conductance of a HS junction and the Josephson current of an SHS junction in the long-junction limit.

description: This dissertation examines the role of settlements in U.S.-Israeli relations. It asks when and how U.S. policy influences the likelihood of Israel substantially moderating its settlement policy? In addition, it explains when the U.S. took an interest in resolving the issue as well as when and why Israel is responsive to U.S. pressure. The dissertation is the first analysis of the topic based on primary documents. It is also a first cut at explaining Israeli settlement policy as part of a strategic interaction, rather than as a phenomenon determined by domestic Israeli factors. The project utilizes an analytical framework based on Powell and Lake’s strategic choice approach. The framework is used to situate the case of settlements in U.S.-Israeli relations in the literature on bargaining, mediation and compliance. The empirical analysis focuses on the 1967-1981 period. In the first empirical chapter, the formative policy of the Johnson administration is analyzed alongside the Israeli policy of trickery and obfuscation designed to protect its nascent settlement enterprise. It continues with a look at the Nixon administration up to the 1973 War focusing on the Meir governments efforts to openly promote “defensible borders” and the gradual U.S. acceptance of that conception. The third empirical chapter focuses on the changes wrought by the war in the estimation of the role of settlements during Rabin’s first tenure and the late Nixon and Ford years. The final empirical chapter analyzes the Israeli decision to evacuate the settlements in Sinai as part of the peace agreement with Egypt as well as the failure of the autonomy talks. The thrust of the argument is that despite possessing greater resources and influence, the U.S. was unable to alter settlement policy within the context of bilateral negotiations. Rather the outcome was dependent on the existence of a willing Arab interlocuter turning U.S. conflict resolution from bilateral bargaining to genuine mediation. Once this occurred, successful mediation depended on U.S. motivation to mobilize its resources and establish credibility. Mediation succeeded when the U.S was biased against the Israeli territorial position and had a genuine strategic interest in promoting Israeli withdrawal.

subject: Complex Maneuvers

description: The increasing potential applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) provides the motivations for numerous research to focus on developing fully autonomous and self guided UAVs with the purpose of controlling UAVs in confined environments. Current UAVs control systems are not able to offer the precise trajectory regulation required in autonomous flight technology. These systems fail to control aerial vehicles’ performing complex maneuvers through confined environments because current UAV designs do not have suitable control mechanisms providing agility and stability for the required maneuvers. New advances in control theory are required to overcome these limitations in order to enable aggressive autonomous vehicle maneuvering while adapting in real time to changes in the operational environment. This thesis addresses a control problem of an unconventional highly maneuverable Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) UAV, using tilted ducted fans as flight control mechanism. The main purpose of this research is to design a nonlinear control methodology that enables the vehicle to use the full potential of its flying characteristics for independent control of its six degree-of-freedom, including orientation and position of the UAV. This thesis investigates maneuvering inside obstructed environments in the presence of external disturbances such as wind, ground and wall effects. Achieving this goal is possible due to a revolution in aviation control by introducing Oblique Active Tilting (OAT) mechanism. Capabilities of OAT system will be fully used in controlling the UAV to enhance its maneuverability.
New Physics and the Proton Radius Problem

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Background: The recent disagreement between the proton charge radius extracted from Lamb shift measurements of muonic and electronic hydrogen invites speculation that new physics may be to blame. Several proposals have been made for new particles that account for both the Lamb shift and the muon anomalous moment discrepancies. Purpose: We explore the possibility that new particles' couplings to the muon can be fine-tuned to account for all experimental constraints. Method: We consider two fine-tuned models, the first involving new particles with scalar and pseudoscalar couplings, and the second involving new particles with vector and axial couplings. The couplings are constrained by the Lamb shift and muon magnetic moments measurements while mass constraints are obtained by kaon decay rate data. Results: For the scalar-pseudoscalar model, masses between 100 to 200 MeV are not allowed. For the vector model, masses below about 200 MeV are not allowed. The strength of the couplings for both models approach that of electrodynamics for particle masses of about 2 GeV. Conclusions: New physics with fine tuned couplings may be entertained as a possible explanation for the Lamb shift discrepancy.

description: The MuCap experiment measures the singlet rate Lambda_S of muon capture on the proton. A negative muon beam is stopped in a time projection chamber filled with ultra-pure hydrogen gas at 10 bar and room temperature. In combination with the surrounding decay electron detectors, the lifetime of muons in hydrogen can be measured to determine LS to a final precision of 1%. The capture rate is then used to derive the nucleon's pseudoscalar form factor gP. Our first-stage result, gP= 7.3\pm1., will soon be updated with the final analysis of the full statistics reducing the error by a factor of ~2.

description: Post-secondary music courses are being offered in an online learning format at an exponential rate of increase (Johnson & Hawley, in press). The purpose of this multiple case study was to develop a teaching framework that assists music faculty members in transitioning from traditional face-to-face classroom teaching to teaching in the online environment. The three case studies included: 1) hybrid online courses; 2) a fully online course focused on social constructivist learning and; 3) fully online courses with limited student interaction. Case data was collected from 11 faculty and 4 student interviews, 16 online student surveys, and 2 faculty focus group discussions between November 2014 and November 2015. First Cycle and Second Cycle data coding and analyses (Saldaña, 2013) revealed four essential elements for online music courses: 1) online music pedagogy (e.g., teaching philosophies, authentic music learning, openness to online music learning, institutional support, and learning approaches); 2) course design (e.g., planning, organization, multimedia use, and course design process); 3) assessment (e.g., meaningful opportunities to demonstrate music learning), and 4) communication (e.g., methods for exploring subject content and technology tools). The data collected from Community of Inquiry student surveys (Arbaugh et al., 2008) and student interviews indicated that the incorporation of these components assisted learning. The resulting teaching framework was developed from both literature and findings from the case studies. It incorporates evidenced components (course design, assessment, and communication) with online pedagogy incorporated in its iterative development process. This framework was presented to and subsequently validated by the faculty who participated in the study. The findings and implications of this study contribute relevant evidence about current online music learning and teaching practices. Overall, constructivist and social constructivist learning approaches to course design were found assistive to providing students with interactive learning in the online environment. The implications of this study are that online music faculty require ongoing active participation in sustainable workshops as well as mentoring, and that administrators choosing new online music faculty members should seek those who have both an openness for online teaching and past experience in teaching using innovative technology.

description: High-gain resonant nonlinear Raman scattering on trapped cold atoms within a high-fineness ring optical cavity is simply explained under a nonlinear opto-mechanical mechanism, and a proposal using it to detect frequency of micro-trap on atom chip is presented. The enhancement of scattering spectrum is due to a coherent Raman conversion between two different cavity modes mediated by collective vibrations of atoms through nonlinear opto-mechanical couplings. The physical conditions of this technique are roughly estimated on Rubidium atoms, and a simple quantum analysis as well as a multi-body semiclassical simulation on this nonlinear Raman process is conducted.

Diet-Induced Obesity and Musculoskeletal Health: Studies in a Rat Model

Subjects: subject: Engineering--Biomedical

subject: High-Fat/High-Sucrose

description: The primary goal of this Thesis is to develop a model of diet-induced obesity (DIO), using a high-fat/high-sucrose (HFS) diet to evaluate the impact of DIO on the musculoskeletal health of rats. The overarching hypothesis is that DIO can induce deleterious musculoskeletal changes in this animal model. In the first study, the role of DIO in the onset of joint damage is assessed by superimposing the diet on a model of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTA) progression. This study recapitulated changes in systemic and local inflammation with DIO that had been described in the clinical literature, had not been demonstrated in a preclinical model of osteoarthritis (OA). The next study linked diet-induced knee damage, without trauma, to changes in gut microbiota for the first time. The third study explored time-course changes in systemic and local inflammatory mediators in conjunction with joint damage and response to DIO. Given the changes in the systemic inflammatory environment, the next study then evaluated other synovial joints in addition to the knee joint. This study suggested that the knee and shoulder are uniquely vulnerable to damage with DIO, while the hip joint is protected. Additionally, muscle is implicated in both OA progression and the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome, and therefore the effects of HFS DIO on muscle were measured. The fifth study evaluated DIO-induced changes in the integrity of the Vastus Lateralis (VL) quadriceps muscle. Given the severity of changes seen in the VL, short-term exposure to HFS was then explored in the VL muscle in study six, as were diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota and systemic inflammation. Because muscles have different phenotypes, related to their substrate utilization, force-producing capacity, and fatigability, we then explored another muscle, the soleus, which was previously suggested to be protected against diet-induced changes. Collectively, this Thesis demonstrates that DIO can result in structural damage across musculoskeletal tissues, while implicating several opportunities for therapeutic intervention to mitigate or prevent damage across musculoskeletal tissues. These relations and opportunities are summarized in Chapter 10, which is an integrative review on the influence of diet-induced systemic inflammation on musculoskeletal tissues.

Rotary-axial spindle design for large load precision machining applications
Creators: name: Usman, Irfan-Ur-Rab
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Normal stress electromagnetic actuators can be used as both an axial bearing and an in-feed motor in precision machine tool applications that require only millimeter-range axial stroke, such as silicon wafer face grinding or meso-machining. The rotary cutting stage may be integrated with the axially-feeding stage in a rotary-axial architecture. This typology allows the use of independent rotary and axial actuators acting on a single moving mass, rather than an axial actuator moving an entire rotary motor assembly in the feed direction as in typical machine tool architectures. Non-collocated resonances are therefore minimized and thrust and radial stiffness is increased through the elimination of intermediate lateral and thrust bearings, and achievable closed loop positioning performance is improved. This thesis presents the working principle, design, and analysis of radially-biased electromagnetic bearing/actuators for large load precision rotary-axial spindle applications, and the integration of such an actuator in a full scale prototype to be used as a silicon wafer face grinder. The experimental results indicate that the rotary-axial spindle with radially-biased thrust bearing/actuator is capable of achieving less than 7 nm resolution over a 1.5 mm axial stroke, a worst case load capacity of approximately 5000 N and a best case load capacity of over 8000 N, with rotary-axial coupling of less than 30 nm axial error at 3000 rpm.
How photography can reveal, overlook and manipulate truth: the fearless work of Australian Iranian artist Hoda Afshar
Creators: name: Williams, Tom
Publisher: name: University of Wollongong
Year: 2025

description: Through her poetically constructed images, Hoda Afshar illuminates a world overshadowed by history and atrocity. Yet we never see despair: we see defiance, comradeship, reinvention and a search for how photography can activate new ways of thinking.Afshar was born in Iran and migrated to Australia in 2007. She began her practice as a documentary photographer in Tehran, having originally been attracted to acting.Staging and creative intervention would become significant features of her work.Even in her early, nominally “documentary” series, you can sense an embracing of the ambiguity of the still image, and an interest in composing a reality more vivid (and perhaps genuine) than dispassionate reportage might be capable of.Afshar is now one of Australia’s most significant photo media artists, so it’s a surprise that Hoda Afshar: A Curve is a Broken Line at the Art Gallery of New South Wales is her first major survey exhibition.What unites her materially diverse work is a concern with visibility: who is denied it, what is made visible by media, and how photography can reveal, overlook and manipulate truth.Much of her work addresses critical humanitarian issues of our time: war, statelessness, diaspora, oppression, corruption. She challenges stereotypes. We don’t see passive victims or closed narratives: we are introduced to new perspectives that might lead us to reappraise the world we inhabit.
Characterization of Periodic Network Traffic

description: This thesis focuses on characterizing periodic communications in network traffic, which we refer to as network heartbeats. Heartbeat traffic can be used to assess the overall health of an operational network, based on the presence/absence of heartbeats for known network services, and also to detect unexpected/undesired network services, such as malicious traffic. We use a simple and flexible SQL-based method to detect a wide range of heartbeats in network traffic, using seven weeks of connection logs from a campus edge network. Our results show that heartbeat analysis is effective for detecting P2P, gaming, cloud, scanning, and botnet traffic flows, which often have periodic signatures.

description: (Abridged) Weak gravitational lensing is an ideal probe of the dark universe. In recent years, several linear methods have been developed to reconstruct the density distribution in the Universe in three dimensions, making use of photometric redshift information to determine the radial distribution of lensed sources. In this paper, we aim to address three key issues seen in these methods; namely, the bias in the redshifts of detected objects, the line of sight smearing seen in reconstructions, and the damping of the amplitude of the reconstruction relative to the underlying density. We consider the problem under the framework of compressed sensing (CS). Under the assumption that the data are sparse in an appropriate dictionary, we construct a robust estimator and employ state-of-the-art convex optimisation methods to reconstruct the density contrast. For simplicity in implementation, and as a proof of concept of our method, we reduce the problem to one-dimension, considering the reconstruction along each line of sight independently. Despite the loss of information this implies, we demonstrate that our method is able to accurately reproduce cluster haloes up to a redshift of z=1, deeper than state-of-the-art linear methods. We directly compare our method with these linear methods, and demonstrate minimal radial smearing and redshift bias in our reconstructions, as well as a reduced damping of the reconstruction amplitude as compared to the linear methods. In addition, the CS framework allows us to consider an underdetermined inverse problem, thereby allowing us to reconstruct the density contrast at finer resolution than the input data.

Abstract
Telitacicept (Tai'ai®) is fusion protein comprising a recombinant transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor (TACI) receptor fused to the fragment crystallizable (Fc) domain of human immunoglobulin G (IgG). Telitacicept is being developed by Yantai Rongchang Pharmaceutical through its subsidiary RemeGen for the treatment of B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Telitacicept binds to and neutralizes the activity of two cell-signalling molecules, B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), thereby suppressing the development and survival of plasma cells and mature B cells. In March 2021, telitacicept received its first approval in China for the treatment of patients with active SLE. Clinical studies of telitacicept in several other indications, including IgA nephropathy, MS, myasthenia gravis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, RA and Sjögren's syndrome are underway in China. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of telitacicept leading to this first approval for SLE.

Vita e morte delle strade di citta (rileggendo Jane Jacobs)
Creators: name: Perrone, Camilla
Publisher: name: Contesti. Città, territori, progetti
Year: 2017

description: A hundred years after her birth, the interest for the life and work of Jane Jacobs has increased with renewed vigour in international literature, placing the topic of the streets and of public space, and in general the way in which a city “functions”, at the centre of the debate. The paper analyses these themes with specific focus on the metabolism of complex systems and the self-organization and self-production practices of cities, developing an approach that takes into account the great transformations in the processes of urbanisation and the necessity to recognize and reproduce both the specificities and the diversities of cities.

description: We study the thermalization process in the self-interacting curvaton preheating scenario. We solve the evolution of the system with classical lattice simulations with a recently released symplectic PyCOOL program during the resonance and the early thermalization periods and compare the results to the inflaton preheating. After this we calculate the generated non-gaussianity with the $ΔN$ formalism and the separate universe approximation by running a large number of simulations with slightly different initial values. The results indicate a high level of non-gaussianity. We also use this paper to showcase the various post-processing functions included with the PyCOOL program that is available from https://github.com/jtksai/PyCOOL .

description: The paper presents an interesting comparison between Patrick Geddes and Henri Lefebvre on subjects such as citizenship and the right to the city. The historical and cultural differences between the two figures analysed are great, yet they were both among the first to link space and citizenship and to underline the importance of the construction and representation of citizenship in space. The aim is to focus on certain key questions of urban life, such as the concepts of citizenship and political community, as well as their permanence and continuity through time.

description: Partial photoionization cross sections from the ^1S ground and the ^3P metastable states of the Be isoelectronic series to different final states including a number of satellite (ionization plus excitation) channels are studied using the R-matrix method. As expected, the ratio of each satellite partial cross section to the dominant partial cross section is found to be a monotonic decreasing function of Z for both the ground and the metastable states. The complicated patterns of these ratios as functions of photon energy are analyzed.

Estimating Black Hole Masses in Quasars Using Broad Optical and UV Emission Lines

description: We review past work using broad emission lines as virial estimators of black hole masses in quasars. Basically one requires estimates of the emitting region radius and virial velocity dispersion to obtain black hole masses. The three major ways to estimate the broad-line emitting region (BLR) radius involve: (1) direct reverberation mapping, (2) derivation of BLR radius for larger samples using the radius-luminosity correlation derived from reverberation measures, and (3) estimates of BLR radius using the definition of the ionization parameter solved for BLR radius (photoionization method). At low redshift (z < 0.7) FWHM H-beta serves as the most widely used estimator of virial velocity dispersion. FWHM H-beta can provide estimates for tens of thousands of quasars out to z ~ 3.8 (IR spectroscopy beyond z ~ 1). A new photoionization method also shows promise for providing many reasonable estimates of BLR radius via high S/N IR spectroscopy of the UV region 1300 -- 2000 A. FWHM MgII 2800 can serve as a surrogate for FWHM H-beta in the range 0.4 < z < 6.5 while CIV 1549 is affected by broadening due to non-virial motions and best avoided (i.e. there is no clear conversion factor between FWHM H-beta and FWHM CIV 1549). Most quasars yield black hole mass estimates in the range 7 < log M< 9.7. There is no strong evidence for values above 10.0 and there may be evidence for a turnover in the maximum black hole mass near z ~ 5.
