Long-run energy resource economics : reconciling uncertain carbon signals for integrated assessments of global environmental change
Creators: name: Ritchie, William Justin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Studies of global environmental change require a long-term perspective that must contend with uncertain future human and Earth system processes. In this context, the scientific community frames possibilities for energy resource use with integrated assessment models (IAMs). IAMs combine various threads of scientific knowledge to allow systematic studies of hypothetical socioeconomic and technological developments. Engineering-focused IAMs maintain economic concepts of energy use initiated by studies which responded to the 1970s energy crises by anticipating that growing demand for energy could rely on a coal backstop supply. Thus, many scenarios of vast coal combustion were produced to illustrate this outlook, where humanity had no choice but to become “the intelligent mole”. Such coal backstop scenarios played an important role in early climate model development because they provided a strong carbon signal. Initial economic models of climate policy costs were based on assuming that the high-carbon backstop would always be cheaper than the low-carbon backstop. These ideas anchored expectations for future climate change as the IPCC assessment process was established, and continue to shape the uncertainty range considered by today’s studies. This thesis examines modeling concepts used to structure uncertain energy resource developments for long-term studies of global environmental change with a special focus on coal. The concept of a vast coal backstop energy supply is evaluated and these findings are applied to develop empirical constraints for an IAM coal supply curve. In the example considered by this thesis, an empirically consistent coal backstop scenario produces climate policy costs for a 1.5°C target equivalent to those for a 2°C goal that must overcome a vast coal backstop supply: the default configuration of many IAMs. An energy system phase space method is developed to map whether these long-run scenarios provide sufficient coverage of future uncertainties. It is found that IAM scenarios are needlessly constrained to produce outlooks for transitions toward a global energy supply with increasing carbon intensity. When these energy system scenarios are combined with socioeconomic projections for global per-capita income convergence, they serve to reproduce a style of reasoning that links aspirational equity goals with worst-case environmental consequences.

description: Driven lattice gases as the ASEP are useful tools for the modeling of various stochastic transport processes carried out by self-driven particles, such as molecular motors or vehicles in road traffic. Often these processes take place in one-dimensional systems offering several tracks to the particles, and in many cases the particles are able to change track with a given rate. In this work we consider the case of strong coupling where the hopping rate along the tracks and the exchange rates are of the same order, and show how a phenomenological approach based on a domain wall theory can describe the dynamics of the system. In particular, the domain walls on the different tracks form pairs, whose dynamics dominate the behavior of the system.

description: Obtaining a rigorous and reliable method for linking computer simulations of polymer blends and composites at different length scales of interest is a highly desirable goal in soft matter physics. In this paper a multiscale modeling procedure is presented for the efficient calculation of the static structural properties of binary homopolymer blends. The procedure combines computer simulations of polymer chains on two different length scales, using a united atom representation for the finer structure and a highly coarse-grained approach on the meso-scale, where chains are represented as soft colloidal particles interacting through an effective potential. A method for combining the structural information by inverse mapping is discussed, allowing for the efficient calculation of partial correlation functions, which are compared with results from full united atom simulations. The structure of several polymer mixtures is obtained in an efficient manner for several mixtures in the homogeneous region of the phase diagram. The method is then extended to incorporate thermal fluctuations through an effective chi parameter. Since the approach is analytical, it is fully transferable to numerous systems.

description: 103P/Hartley 2 was selected as the target comet for the Deep Impact extended mission, EPOXI, in October 2007. There have been no direct optical observations of the nucleus of this comet, as it has always been highly active when previously observed. We aimed to recover the comet near to aphelion, to a) confirm that it had not broken up and was in the predicted position, b) to provide astrometry and brightness information for mission planning, and c) to continue the characterisation of the nucleus. We observed the comet at heliocentric distances between 5.7 and 5.5 AU, using FORS2 at the VLT, at 4 epochs between May and July 2008. We performed VRI photometry on deep stacked images to look for activity and measure the absolute magnitude and therefore estimate the size of the nucleus. We recovered the comet near the expected position, with a magnitude of m_R = 23.74 \pm 0.06 at the first epoch. The comet had no visible coma, although comparison of the profile with a stellar one showed that there was faint activity, or possibly a contribution to the flux from the dust trail from previous activity. This activity appears to fade at further epochs, implying that this is a continuation of activity past aphelion from the previous apparition rather than an early start to activity before the next perihelion. Our data imply a nucleus radius of \le 1 km for an assumed 4% albedo; we estimate a ~6% albedo. We measure a colour of (V-R) = 0. 26 \pm 0.09.

description: Recently, self-supervised learning (SSL) from unlabelled speech data has gained increased attention in the automatic speech recognition (ASR) community. Typical SSL methods include autoregressive predictive coding (APC), Wav2vec2.0, and hidden unit BERT (HuBERT). However, SSL models are biased to the pretraining data. When SSL models are finetuned with data from another domain, domain shifting occurs and might cause limited knowledge transfer for downstream tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel framework, domain responsible adaptation and finetuning (DRAFT), to reduce domain shifting in pretrained speech models, and evaluate it for a causal and non-causal transformer. For the causal transformer, an extension of APC (E-APC) is proposed to learn richer information from unlabelled data by using multiple temporally-shifted sequences to perform prediction. For the non-causal transformer, various solutions for using the bidirectional APC (Bi-APC) are investigated. In addition, the DRAFT framework is examined for Wav2vec2.0 and HuBERT methods, which use non-causal transformers as the backbone. The experiments are conducted on child ASR (using the OGI and MyST databases) using SSL models trained with unlabelled adult speech data from Librispeech. The relative WER improvements of up to 19.7% on the two child tasks are observed when compared to the pretrained models without adaptation. With the proposed methods (E-APC and DRAFT), the relative WER improvements are even larger (30% and 19% on the OGI and MyST data, respectively) when compared to the models without using pretraining methods.

description: This thesis focused mainly on medical privacy and personal health data. Health is a constitutional right, which is protected as both an individual and a social right. Personal health data is included in the category of special categories of personal data or otherwise in the category of "sensitive data" and its processing is subject to stricter rules. In addition, people's health data is protected both by medical confidentiality and by other provisions of Greek Legislation. In addition, the frequent phenomenon of private health insurance in recent years is analyzed. Private insurance companies collect personal information of consumer applicants and then classify it into categories. The above companies are strictly controlled by the state and determine the price of their products-services according to the risk assessment of each customer. Finally, it is worth mentioning that my present thesis analyzes the concepts of "medical privacy" and the processing of "health data" from the point of view of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

description: We describe a modified Helmholtz induction coil, or Maxwell coil, that generates alternating magnetic fields (AMF) having field uniformity (≤10%) within a = 3000 cm3 volume of interest for magnetic hyperthermia research. Two-dimensional finite element analysis (2D-FEA) was used for electromagnetic design of the induction coil set and to develop specifications for the required matching network. The matching network and induction coil set were fabricated using best available practices and connected to a 120 kW industrial induction heating power supply. System performance was evaluated by magnetic field mapping with a magnetic field probe, and tests were performed using gel phantoms. Tests verified that the system generated a target peak AMF amplitude along the coil axis of ∼35 kA/m (peak) at a frequency of 150 ± 10 kHz while maintaining field uniformity to >90% of peak for a volume of ∼3000 cm3. The induction coil apparatus comprising three independent loops, i.e., Maxwell-type improves upon the performance of simple solenoid and Helmholtz coils by providing homogeneous flux density fields within a large volume while minimizing demands on power and stray fields. Experiments with gel phantoms and analytical calculations show that future translational research efforts should be devoted to developing strategies to reduce the impact of nonspecific tissue heating from eddy currents; and, that an inductor producing a homogeneous field has significant clinical potential for deep-tissue magnetic fluid hyperthermia.

description: In the present research, ten species of Asparagus from North India have been analysed for secondary metabolites. The quantitative study of shatavarin IV, sarsasapogenin, caffeic acid, β-sitosterol, and lupeol in the cladodes and roots of Asparagus was conducted using a validated HPTLC method. The content of sarsasapogenin was found highest in the cladodes of A. racemosus (11.20 ± 0.025 mg/g DW) and roots of A. officinalis (5.95 ± 0.024 mg/g DW). Shatavarin IV was found highest in cladodes of A. densiflorus (6.72 ± 0.02 mg/g DW) and roots of A. adscendens (4.68 ± 0.015 mg/g DW). Caffeic acid was found most abundantly in A. officinalis (65.87 ± 0.021 mg/g DW), while β-sitosterol (9.36 ± 0.004 mg/g DW) and lupeol (5.91 ± 0.004 mg/g DW) were found highest in A. falcatus among the ten species. Overall findings showed that A. adscendens, A. densiflorus, A. falcatus and A. retrofractus have also rich quantity of examined secondary metabolites as compared to commercially important species (A. officinalis).

description: We exploit the magnetic interlayer coupling in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrRuO3 superlattices to realize a crossover between inverse and conventional magnetic entropy changes. Our data reveal a strong anisotropic nature of the magnetocaloric effect due to the magnetic anisotropy of the superlattice. Therefore, artificial superlattices built from ferromagnetic materials that can be used to alter the magnetic structure as well as the magnetic anisotropy, could also be utilized for tuning the magnetocaloric properties, which may open a constructive approach for magnetic refrigeration applications.

description: We present the first results of a global axisymmetric simulation of accretion onto rotating magnetized stars from a turbulent, MRI-driven disk. The angular momentum is transported outward by the magnetic stress of the turbulent flow with a rate corresponding to a Shakura-Sunyaev viscosity parameter alpha\approx 0.01-0.04. The result of the disk-magnetosphere interaction depends on the orientation of the poloidal field in the disk relative to that of the star at the disk-magnetosphere boundary. If fields have the same polarity, then the magnetic flux is accumulated at the boundary and blocks the accretion which leads to the accumulation of matter at the boundary. Subsequently, this matter accretes to the star in outburst before accumulating again. Hence, the cycling, `bursty' accretion is observed. If the disc and stellar fields have opposite polarity, then the field reconnection enhances the penetration of the disk matter towards the deeper field lines of the magnetosphere. However, the magnetic stress at the boundary is lower due to the field reconnection. This decreases the accretion rate and leads to smoother accretion at a lower rate. Test simulations show that in the case of higher accretion rate corresponding to alpha=0.05-0.1, accretion is bursty in cases of both polarities. On the other hand, at much lower accretion rates corresponding to alpha < 0.01, accretion is not bursty in any of these cases. We conclude that the episodic, bursty accretion is expected during periods of higher accretion rates in the disc, and in some cases it may alternate between bursty and smooth accretion, if the disk brings the poloidal field of alternating polarity. We find that a rotating, magnetically-dominated corona forms above and below the disk, and that it slowly expands outward, driven by the magnetic force.

Genetic analysis of receptor-like protein SNC2-mediated plant resistance in Arabidopsis
Creators: name: Ding, Yuli
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Plant immunity is usually governed by two types of immune receptors: 1) pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize the conserved molecular features of pathogens (pathogen-associated molecular patterns, PAMPs) and trigger PTI (PAMP-triggered immunity) and 2) nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeats-containing proteins (NLRs) serve as intracellular immune receptors to recognize the presence of relatively diverse pathogen effectors and trigger ETI (effector-triggered immunity). The Arabidopsis thaliana mutant snc2-1D (suppressor of npr1-1, constitutive 2) contains a gain-of-function mutation in a receptor-like protein (RLP) and displays a dwarf morphology. Here I report the characterization of bda4-1D (bian da 4-1D), which was identified as a complete suppressor of snc2-1D dwarf morphology. Positional cloning showed bda4-1D contains a gain-of-function mutation in Non-Expressor of Pathogenesis-Related Proteins 4 (renamed npr4-4D). Functional analysis indicated NPR4, as well as its close homolog NPR3 (Non-Expressor of Pathogenesis-Related Proteins 3), function as transcriptional repressors. They function downstream of SNC2, independent of NPR1 (Non-Expressor of Pathogenesis-Related Proteins 1). In addition, salicylic acid (SA) was shown to inhibit the transcriptional activities of NPR3/4 and promote the expression of key immune regulators. The npr4-4D mutation leads to constitutive repression of SA-induced immune responses, indicating that the mutant protein can no longer respond to SA. On the other hand, the equivalent mutation in NPR1 also abolishes its ability to bind SA and renders reduced SA-induced defence gene expression. My results demonstrated that both NPR1 and NPR3/NPR4 are bona fide SA receptors, but play opposite roles in transcriptional regulation of SA-induced defence gene expression. In the independent eds5-3 snc2-1D npr1-1 suppressor screen, I report the identification and characterization of four more bda mutants, bda3-1D, bda5-1, bda6 and bda7. Cloning of BDA6 and BDA7 showed that they encode FMO1 and ALD1 respectively, which are involved in biosynthesis of N-Hydroxypipecolic Acid (NHP) and pipecolic acid. My results indicate that enzymes involved in Lysine metabolism are also important for signaling in SNC2-mediated immune pathway. Overall, the studies I completed in my Ph.D. thesis expand our knowledge in understanding of the signaling pathways downstream of SNC2 as well as the general regulatory mechanisms of SA receptors in plant innate immunity.

description: This paper presents a new technique for the virtual reality (VR) visu-alization of complex volume images obtained from computer tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) by combining three-dimensional (3D) mesh processing and software coding within the gaming engine. The method operates on real representations of human organs avoiding any structural ap-proximations of the real physiological shape. In order to obtain realistic repre-sentation of the mesh model, geometrical and topological corrections are per-formed on the mesh surface with preserving real shape and geometric structure. Using mathematical intervention on the 3D model and mesh triangulation the second part of our algorithm ensures an automatic construction of new two-dimensional (2D) shapes that represent vector slices along any user chosen di-rection. The final result of our algorithm is developed software application that allows to user complete visual experience and perceptual exploration of real human organs through spatial manipulation of their 3D models. Thus our pro-posed method achieves a threefold effect: i) high definition VR representation of real models of human organs, ii) the real time generated slices of such a model along any directions, and iii) almost unlimited amount of training data for machine learning that is very useful in process of diagnosis. In addition, our developed application also offers significant benefits to educational process by ensuring interactive features and quality perceptual user experience.

description: We study the conductance through two types of graphene nanostructures: nanoribbon junctions in which the width changes from wide to narrow, and curved nanoribbons. In the wide-narrow structures, substantial reflection occurs from the wide-narrow interface, in contrast to the behavior of the much studied electron gas waveguides. In the curved nanoribbons, the conductance is very sensitive to details such as whether regions of a semiconducting armchair nanoribbon are included in the curved structure -- such regions strongly suppress the conductance. Surprisingly, this suppression is not due to the band gap of the semiconducting nanoribbon, but is linked to the valley degree of freedom. Though we study these effects in the simplest contexts, they can be expected to occur for more complicated structures, and we show results for rings as well. We conclude that experience from electron gas waveguides does not carry over to graphene nanostructures. The interior interfaces causing extra scattering result from the extra effective degrees of freedom of the graphene structure, namely the valley and sublattice pseudospins.

description: The histologic and immunohistologic differential diagnosis between pseudolymphomas (PL) and malignant lymphomas (ML) of the skin can be difficult. Since DNA cytometry has been found to be of both diagnostic and prognostic value in various neoplasms, its ability to discriminate between ML and PL in Feulgen-stained imprints of 17 PL and 49 ML skin biopsies was examined by high-resolution image analysis. The reliability of the following algorithms of DNA distribution was evaluated: 1) 2cDI (2c-deviation index), which reflects the variation of the nuclear DNA values around the diploid DNA peak; 2) percentage of cells having a DNA value greater than or equal to 5c (5cER; 5c-exceeding rate); 3) percentage of cells presenting with a DNA value greater than or equal to 4c (4cER). A 2cDI of 0.1 was found to be the most reliable marker for the differentiation between PL and ML. On the basis of this feature, 16 of 17 cases of PL and 46 of 49 cases of ML were correctly classified. The sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency of this feature were 94%. A 5cER greater than or equal to 1% had a specificity of 100%, but the sensitivity was only 43%. For the 4cER, a sensitivity of 61% and a specificity of 94% were found. In conclusion, the calculation of the 2cDI and the 5cER based on high-resolution image analysis provided additional helpful diagnostic features, and therefore should be included as a diagnostic tool. If the 5cER is at least 1%, the diagnosis of a ML can be confirmed with a specificity of 100%.

description: Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are cold and dense reservoirs of gas potentially available to form stars. Many of these clouds are likely to be pristine structures representing the initial conditions for star formation. The study presented here aims to construct and analyze accurate column density and dust temperature maps of IRDCs by using the first Herschel data from the Hi-GAL galactic plane survey. These fundamental quantities, are essential for understanding processes such as fragmentation in the early stages of the formation of stars in molecular clouds. We have developed a simple pixel-by-pixel SED fitting method, which accounts for the background emission. By fitting a grey-body function at each position, we recover the spatial variations in both the dust column density and temperature within the IRDCs. This method is applied to a sample of 22 IRDCs exhibiting a range of angular sizes and peak column densities. Our analysis shows that the dust temperature decreases significantly within IRDCs, from background temperatures of 20-30 K to minimum temperatures of 8-15 K within the clouds, showing that dense molecular clouds are not isothermal. Temperature gradients have most likely an important impact on the fragmentation of IRDCs. Local temperature minima are strongly correlated with column density peaks, which in a few cases reach NH2 = 1 x 10^{23} cm^{-2}, identifying these clouds as candidate massive prestellar cores. Applying this technique to the full Hi-GAL data set will provide important constraints on the fragmentation and thermal properties of IRDCs, and help identify hundreds of massive prestellar core candidates.

description: We report on the observation of the circular photogalvanic effect in Si-metal-oxide-semiconductor fieldeffect transistors with inversion channel excited by terahertz radiation. We demonstrate that in spite of the fact that the photocurrent is caused by transfer of the photon angular momentum to free carriers, it is not due to spin orientation but has a pure orbital origin. It results from the quantum interference of different pathways contributing to the free-carrier absorption of monochromatic radiation.

description: Objective: To develop an innovative prioritisation process to identify topics for new or updated systematic reviews of tinnitus research. Design: A two-stage prioritisation process was devised. First, a scoping review assessed the amount of randomized controlled trial-level evidence available. This enabled development of selection criteria for future reviews, aided the design of template protocol and suggested the scale of work that would be required to conduct these reviews. Second, using the pre-defined primary and secondary criteria, interventions were prioritised for systematic review. Study sample: Searches identified 1080 records. After removal of duplicates and out of scope works, 437 records remained for full data charting. Results: The process was tested, using subjective tinnitus as the clinical condition and using Cochrane as the systematic review platform. The criteria produced by this process identified three high priority reviews: (1) Sound therapy using amplification devices and/or sound generators; (2) Betahistine and (3) Cognitive behaviour therapy. Further secondary priorities were: (4) Gingko biloba, (5) Anxiolytics, (6) Hypnotics, (7) Antiepileptics and (8) Neuromodulation. Conclusions: A process was developed which successfully identified priority areas for Cochrane systematic reviews of interventions for subjective tinnitus. This technique could easily be transferred to other conditions and other types of systematic reviews.

Development of a tower mill model using hardgrove mill tests

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The gravity-induced low speed stirred milling technology, commonly referred to as tower mills, are widely used for fine grinding due to their high energy efficiency compared to conventional tumbling mills. Moreover, the lower operating cost, shorter installation period and simpler operating strategy make it attractive for many mines. Researchers have attempted to develop an ore characterization method and mathematical models for tower mills. However, there is no well-established universal fine material characterization method for both the grindability assessment and modeling of tower mills. In this study, a modified Hardgrove mill fine material characterization method was developed for the tower mill grindability assessment. The test result was integrated into the fmat breakage model, which incorporates both the effect of specific energy and particle size. Several industrial tower mill grinding circuit surveys were conducted to provide the information regarding the operating conditions and grinding product size distribution. The ore breakage model, the size specific energy level model, internal classification model and tower mill power models were integrated into a mass-size balance model to simulate the tower mill performance. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to simulate the tower mill performance under varied stirrer speed and media charge. Results obtained from the model and simulation work show that the developed model is capable of predicting the tower mill grinding product size distribution with adequate accuracy. The sensitivity analysis indicated a new opportunity to control the tower mill performance by adjusting the stirrer speed rather than by the conventional media addition strategy.

description: Objetive: To linguistically adapt and validate the Spanish version of the PEACH rating scale and identify the variables associated. Design: A transversal study of parents/guardians of infants and children with either normal hearing or hearing impairment. Study sample: The protocol included translation into Spanish and adapted linguistically. Regression models were constructed using logistic regression, obtaining the respective areas under the ROC curve. Validity was studied through an exploratory factor analyses and reliability analysis was carried out using Cronbach’s Alpha. Results: The PEACH rating scale was carried out on 297 parents. There was a high degree of reliability for both children with hearing impairment (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.93) and for those with normal hearing (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.82). The exploratory factor analysis showed the existence of one factor (unidimensional). In relation to the variables associated with the global scores of the scale, the type of hearing loss and laterality impact on the score. The area under the ROC curve was 0.89, showing elevated sensitivity and specificity. Conclusions: The adapted version can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of amplification for infants and children with hearing impairment in Spanish-speaking children. The PEACH rating scale to Spanish has validity indicators similar to the original.
