Settlement and strength of clay-rich coal mine spoil
Creators: name: Williams, David

name: Daley, Andrew
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The settlement of clay-rich surface coal mine spoil has three components: (i) self-weight, (ii) “collapse” on wetting up, and (iii) weathering-induced settlements. Of the self-weight settlement of initially dry spoil, about 80% occurs during placement (and is “not seen”). The remaining 20% will amount to 3% or more of the height of loose-placed spoil, at a rate decreasing exponentially with time. “Collapse” settlement of spoil on wetting up is due to “corrosion cracking” at highly-stressed particle contacts. It can amount to 10% or more of the height of loosely-placed spoil. Further saturation of the spoil will fill the voids without inducing significant further collapse. Weathering-induced spoil settlement occurs over a variable timeframe depending on the durability of the spoil. It could amount to 10% or more of the height of loosely-placed spoil. The total post-placement settlement of clay-rich spoil could amount to 20 to 30% of the loose height (20 to 30 m/100 m of height). Settlement of clay-rich spoil affects its strength and compressibility under loading, and its hydraulic conductivity. Laboratory tests carried out on as-sampled and flooded scalped clay-rich spoil from Jeebropilly Coal Mine in South East Queensland, Australia, have included material characterisation and geotechnical parameter testing. The results shed some light on the settlement and strength behaviour of these materials. [All papers were considered for technical and language appropriateness by the organizing committee.]

description: The coherent states for a particle on a sphere are introduced. These states are labelled by points of the classical phase space, that is the position on the sphere and the angular momentum of a particle. As with the coherent states for a particle on a circle discussed in Kowalski K {\em et al} 1996 {\em J. Phys. A} {\bf 29} 4149, we deal with a deformation of the classical phase space related with quantum fluctuations. The expectation values of the position and the angular momentum in the coherent states are regarded as the best possible approximation of the classical phase space. The correctness of the introduced coherent states is illustrated by an example of the rotator.

description: We propose a model for the geometry of a dynamical spherical shell in which the metric is asymptotically Schwarzschild, but deviates from Ricci-flatness in a finite neighbourhood of the shell. Hence, the geometry corresponds to a `hairy' black hole, with the hair originating on the shell. The metric is regular for an infalling shell, but it bifurcates, leading to two disconnected Schwarzschild-like spacetime geometries. The shell is interpreted as either collapsing matter or as Hawking radiation, depending on whether or not the shell is infalling or outgoing. In this model, the Hawking radiation results from tunnelling between the two geometries. Using this model, the back reaction correction from Hawking radiation is calculated.

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: Time distributed optimization is an implementation strategy that can significantly reduce the computational burden of model predictive control by exploiting its robustness to incomplete optimization. When using this strategy, optimization iterations are distributed over time by maintaining a running solution estimate for the optimal control problem and updating it at each sampling instant. The resulting controller can be viewed as a dynamic compensator which is placed in closed-loop with the plant. This paper presents a general systems theoretic analysis framework for time distributed optimization. The coupled plant-optimizer system is analyzed using input-to-state stability concepts and sufficient conditions for stability and constraint satisfaction are derived. When applied to time distributed sequential quadratic programming, the framework significantly extends the existing theoretical analysis for the real-time iteration scheme. Numerical simulations are presented that demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme.

description: We examine counterparts of the Reissner-Nordstrom-anti-de Sitter black hole spacetimes in which the two-sphere has been replaced by a surface Sigma of constant negative or zero curvature. When horizons exist, the spacetimes are black holes with an asymptotically locally anti-de Sitter infinity, but the infinity topology differs from that in the asymptotically Minkowski case, and the horizon topology is not S^2. Maximal analytic extensions of the solutions are given. The local Hawking temperature is found. When Sigma is closed, we derive the first law of thermodynamics using a Brown-York type quasilocal energy at a finite boundary, and we identify the entropy as one quarter of the horizon area, independent of the horizon topology. The heat capacities with constant charge and constant electrostatic potential are shown to be positive definite. With the boundary pushed to infinity, we consider thermodynamical ensembles that fix the renormalized temperature and either the charge or the electrostatic potential at infinity. Both ensembles turn out to be thermodynamically stable, and dominated by a unique classical solution.

description: Population aging is one of the demographic changes expected to have an impact on the need for health services and, implicitly, on the way they are organized to meet these needs. As a result of this phenomenon, the total number of people affected by dementia will double over the next 20 years reaching 65.7 million worldwide in 2030 and 115.4 million in 2050. In this context, it is advisable an analysis of human and institutional resources to better understand how the health system is currently addressing the mental health problems of the elderly and the possible adaptations of the system to better respond to future demands. The objective of this article is to describe the situation of institutional and human resources available to elderly people with mental health problems by determining the distribution of beds and physicians specialized in psychiatry, geriatrics and neurology at county level.
The Generalized Parton Distributions program at Jefferson Lab

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Generalized Parton Distributions (GPD) have drawn a lot of interest from the theoretical community since 1997, but also from the experimental community and especially at Jefferson Lab. First, the results for Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) at 4.2 GeV beam energy have recently been extracted from CLAS data. The single spin asymmetry shows a remarkably clean sine wave despite the rather low Q2 achievable at this energy. Two new dedicated DVCS experiments using 6 GeV beam will run in 2003 and 2004 in Hall A and Hall B respectively. Both experiments will yield very accurate results over a wide range of kinematics, and allow for the first time a precise test of the factorization of the DVCS process. Assuming the Bjorken regime is indeed reached, these experiments will allow the extraction of linear combinations of GPD's and put strong constraints on the available phenomenological models. Upon successful completion of both experiments, a wider experimental program at 6 GeV can be envisioned, using for instance Deuterium targets trying to nail down the neutron and deuteron GPD's. In addition, resonances can be probed using DeltaVCS where one produces a resonance in the final state. Finally, the 12 GeV upgrade of Jefferson Lab extends the available kinematical range, and will allow us to perform a complete, high precision GPD program using various reactions among which, Deeply Virtual Meson Electroproduction (DVMP) and DVCS.

Simultaneous twists of elliptic curves and the Hasse principle for certain K3 surfaces

Subjects: subject: Mathematics

description: In this thesis we unconditionally show that certain K3 surfaces satisfy the Hasse principle. Our method involves the 2-Selmer groups of simultaneous quadratic twists of two elliptic curves, only with places of good or additive reduction. More generally we prove that, given finitely many such elliptic curves defined over a number field (with rational 2-torsion and satisfying some mild conditions) there exists an explicit quadratic extension such that the quadratic twist of each elliptic curve has essential 2-Selmer rank one. Furthermore, given a 2-covering in each of the 2-Selmer groups, the quadratic extension above can be chosen so that the 2-Selmer group of the quadratic twist of each elliptic curve is generated by the given 2-covering and the image of the 2-torsion.
      Our approach to the Hasse Principle is outlined below and was introduced by Skorobogatov and Swinnerton-Dyer. We also generalize the result proved in their paper. If each elliptic curve has a distinct multiplicative place of bad reduction, then we find a quadratic extension such that the quadratic twist of each elliptic curve has essential 2-Selmer rank one. Furthermore, given a 2-covering in each of the 2-Selmer groups, the quadratic extension above can be chosen so that the 2-Selmer group of the quadratic twist of each elliptic curve is generated by the given 2-covering and the image of the 2-torsion. If we further assume the finiteness of the Shafarevich-Tate groups (of the twisted elliptic curves) then each elliptic curve has Mordell-Weil rank one. If K = Q, then under the above assumptions the analytic rank of each elliptic curves is one. Furthermore, with the assumption on the Shafarevich-Tate group (and K = Q), we describe a single quadratic twist such that each elliptic curve has analytic rank zero and Mordell-Weil rank zero, again under some mild assumptions.

description: We consider phase transitions occurring in four-dimensional heterotic orbifold models, when the scale of spontaneous breaking of N=1 supersymmetry is of the order of the string scale. The super-Higgs mechanism is implemented by imposing distinct boundary conditions for bosons and fermions along an internal circle of radius R. Depending on the orbifold action, the usual scalars becoming tachyonic when R falls below the Hagedorn radius may or may not be projected out of the spectrum. In all cases, infinitely many other scalars, which are pure Kaluza-Klein or pure winding states along other internal directions, become tachyonic in subregions in moduli space. We derive the off-shell tree level effective potential that takes into account these potentially tachyonic modes. We show that when a combination of the usual tachyons survives the orbifold action, it is the only degree of freedom that actually condenses.

description: The heterogeneous distribution of physical and geochemical characteristics of waste rock has a major influence on the acid generating potential of the rock. This includes controlling the rate and extent of water, gas and thermal transport processes, which affect the rate of oxidation and leaching of oxidation products. Two experimental waste rock piles at the Diavik Diamond Mine have been characterized in terms of particle size ranging from boulders to fines, sulfur content of the bulk rock and individual size fractions of the rock, and the acid generating potential of the rock. The development of a digital image processing (DIP) technique provides a means of characterizing spatial distribution of the > 10 cm to boulder size fraction of waste rock. Combining the DIP techniques with traditional sieve analysis of the fine fraction provides a full-spectrum grain-size distribution of the waste rock. The average sulfur content of the two waste rock piles was determined to be 0.035 wt. % S (Type I pile) and 0.053 wt. % S (Type III pile), and both rock types are determined to be potentially acid generating using standard acid-base accounting methods. Detailed analysis of the fine fractions for both rock types suggests that the acid generating potential of the waste rock is not evenly distributed among particle sizes. Although both sulfur content and neutralization potential increase with decreasing particle size, overall acid generating potential also increases with decreasing particle size. This research provides a greater understanding of the spatial distribution of rock characteristics that control the generation of acidic leachate in waste rock piles.[All papers were considered for technical and language appropriateness by the organizing committee.]
Simultaneous Immersion Mirau Interferometry

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012

Optics

description: The present work describes a novel imaging technique for label-free no-UV vibration-insensitive imaging of live cells in an epi-illumination geometry. This technique can be implemented in a variety of imaging applications. For example, it can be used for cell targeting as a part of a platform for targeted cell irradiations - single-cell microbeam. The goal of microbeam facilities is to provide biological researchers with tools to study the effects of ionizing radiation on live cells. A common way of cell labeling - fluorescent staining - may alter cellular metabolism and UV illumination presents potential damage for the genetic material. The new imaging technique will allow the researchers to separate radiation-induced effects from the effects caused by confounding factors like fluorescent staining or UV light. Geometry of irradiation endstations at some microbeam facilities precludes the use of transmitted light, e.g. in the Columbia University's Radiological Research Accelerator Facility microbeam endstation, where the ion beam exit window is located just below the sample. Imaging techniques used at such endstations must use epi-illumination. Mirau Interferometry is an epi-illumination, non-stain imaging modality suitable for implementation at a microbeam endstation. To facilitate interferometry and to maintain cell viability, it is desirable that cells stay in cell growth medium during the course of an experiment. To accommodate the use of medium, Immersion Mirau Interferometry has been developed. A custom attachment for a microscope objective has been designed and built for interferometric imaging with the possibility of immersion of the apparatus into cell medium. The implemented data collection algorithm is based on the principles of Phase-Shifting Interferometry. The largest limitation of Phase-Shifting Interferometry is its sensitivity to the vertical position of the sample. In environments where vibration isolation is difficult, this makes image acquisition challenging. This problem was resolved by integration of polarization optics into the optics of the attachment to enable simultaneous creation and spatial separation of two interferograms, which, combined with the background image, are used to reconstruct the intensity map of the specimen. Giving the name Simultaneous Immersion Mirau Interferometry to this approach, simultaneous acquisition of all interferograms per image has eliminated the issue of vibrations. The designed compound microscope attachment has been manufactured and tested; the system produces images of quality, sufficient to perform targeted cellular irradiation experiments.

description:
We present a MEMS array-based approach for micro-irises called “ring shutter”, utilizing subfield addressing for applications in advanced micro-optics, such as interference microscopy. This experimental study is focused on investigating the homogeneity of electro-mechanical and optical characteristics within and between subfields of a lab demonstrator device. The characterization aims to ensure crosstalk-free and swift optical performance, as demonstrated in a previous study. For this purpose, the transmission in the initial state, actuation voltages, and response dynamics are measured for each electrode and the entire device, and the results are thoroughly compared. The measurements are conducted by expanding an existing optical actuation setup via tailored 3D-printed apertures, to isolate selected rings and zones. Evaluation of measurement data confirms the stable and crosstalk-free operation of the ring shutter. Both angular and radial homogeneity are robust and follow the expectations in the experiment. While transmission, actuation voltage and closing time slightly rise (up to 25%) with increased radial position represented by five discrete ring sections, the characteristics for different angular zones remain nearly constant. Response times are measured below 40 µs, actuation voltages do not exceed 60 V, and the overall transmission of the ring shutter yields 53.6%.
Simultaneous Iterative Learning and Feedback Control Design

description: Iterative learning controllers aim to produce high precision tracking in operations where the same tracking maneuver is repeated over and over again. Model-based iterative learning control laws are designed from the system Markov parameters which could be inaccurate. Chapter 2 examines several important learning control laws and develops an understanding of how and when inaccuracy in knowledge of the Markov parameters results in instability of the learning process.  While an iterative learning controller can compensate for unknown repeating errors and disturbances, it is not suited to handle non-repeating, stochastic errors and disturbances, which can be more effectively handled by a feedback controller.  Chapter 3 explores feedback and iterative learning combination controllers, showing how a one-time step behind disturbance estimator and one-repetition behind disturbance estimator can be incorporated together in such a combination.
      Since learning control applications are finite-time by their very nature, frequency response based design techniques are not best suited for designing the feedback controller in this context. A finite-time feedback controller design approach is more appropriate given the overall aim of zero tracking error for the entire trajectory, even for shorter trajectories where the system response is still in its transient phase and has not yet reached steady state. Chapter 4 presents a combination of finite-time feedback and learning control as a natural solution for such a control objective, showing how a finite-time feedback controller and an iterative learning controller can be simultaneously synthesized during the learning process.  Finally, Chapter 5 examines different configurations where a combination of a feedback controller and an iterative learning controller can be implemented. Numerical results are used to illustrate the feedback and iterative controller designs developed in this thesis.

description: The nonlinear evolution of a unstable electrostatic wave is considered for a multi-species Vlasov plasma. From the singularity structure of the associated amplitude expansions, the asymptotic features of the electric field and distribution functions are determined in the limit of weak instability, i.e. $γ\to 0^+$ where $γ$ is the linear growth rate. The asymptotic electric field is monochromatic at the wavelength of the linear mode with a nonlinear time dependence. The structure of the distibutions outside the resonant region is given by the linear eigenfunction but in the resonant region the distribution is nonlinear. The details depend on whether the ions are fixed or mobile; in either case the physical picture corresponds to the single wave model originally proposed by O"Neil, Winfrey, and Malmberg for the interaction of a cold weak beam with a plasma of fixed ions.

Simultaneous Diversity: Discontinuity, Entanglement, and Contemporary American Fiction

Criticism

description: At its broadest conceptual level, "Simultaneous Diversity: Discontinuity, Entanglement, and contemporary American Fiction" investigates how the rhetoric of discontinuity entangles contemporary evolutionary theory, social theory, science studies, and literary fiction. The dissertation's main focus is a partial taxonomy of the heterogeneous field of contemporary American fiction emphasizing the differences between selected individual novels and novelists along with their commonalities. Rather than attempting to describe a unifying zeitgeist or articulate a particular formal or thematic interest as constitutive of contemporary authenticity or now-ness, dismissing non-conforming works as anomalies or residual slag, "Simultaneous Diversity" affirms that everything in the present is of the present. The result is a dynamic taxonomy of "contemporary American fiction" that interrogates the significance of each of these three terms with respect to each of the texts examined. This taxonomy remains "partial" in both the sense of being necessarily incomplete, and in the sense of being a subjective, or necessarily arbitrary, selection of texts and authors. All the novels discussed herein are in my opinion accomplished works of literary fiction that merit more critical attention, but they do not constitute even a personal "canon", much less a prescriptive one; moreover, while the examined nine fictions by six authors amply demonstrate the simultaneous diversity of contemporary American fiction, they by no means fully encapsulate that open-ended field in microcosm.

description: Radiative multipole moments of scalar, electromagnetic, and linearized gravitational fields in Schwarzschild spacetime are computed to third order in v in a weak-field, slow-motion approximation, where v is a characteristic velocity associated with the motion of the source. To zeroth order in v, a radiative moment of order l is given by the corresponding source moment differentiated l times with respect to retarded time. At second order in v, additional terms appear inside the spatial integrals. These are near-zone corrections which depend on the detailed behavior of the source. At third order in v, the correction terms occur outside the spatial integrals, so that they do not depend on the detailed behavior of the source. These are wave-propagation corrections which are heuristically understood as arising from the scattering of the radiation by the spacetime curvature surrounding the source. Our calculations show that the wave-propagation corrections take a universal form which is independent of multipole order and field type. We also show that in general relativity, temporal and spatial curvatures contribute equally to the wave-propagation corrections.

description: The aim of the paper is to popularise nilpotent Lie groups (notably the Heisenberg group and alike) in the context of Clifford analysis and related models of mathematical physics. It is argued that these groups are underinvestigated in comparison with other classical branches of analysis. We list five general directions which seem to be promising for further research. Keywords: Clifford analysis, Heisenberg group, nilpotent Lie group, Segal-Bargmann space, Toeplitz operators, singular integral operators, pseudodifferential operators, functional calculus, joint spectrum, quantum mechanics, spinor field.

description: This study explored the personal narratives of six AFAB (“assigned female at birth”) singers – three cis and three trans/non-binary performers of varying ages, ethnicities and locales – to understand how their experiences informed their musical, vocal and gender identities and shaped their musical and vocal lives. Using semi-structured interview process, the singers recounted their memories and understanding of significant events in their development, and together, each singer and I explored those recollections through a process of collaborative self-exploration. Emerging themes from those narratives underscored the need for further investigation into the intersection of AFAB voice, singing and gender, as both existing literature and the results of this study suggest a deeper understanding of the issues around gender socialization, normative expectations and voice is necessary to appropriately and effectively prepare singers at all levels of their musical and vocal education. Study results found that there are many sources of socially-mediated influences which shape AFAB singers’ development of self, their individual and social identities, and their perceptions of their voice – particularly in the context of normative expectations that define gender and gender identities. While all study participants clearly experienced pleasure in musical performance, the narratives revealed a complex web of expectations and influences that contributed significant amounts of anxiety, with both physiological and psychological repercussions, to the performers’ lives. The ways in which the singers both fell victim to and addressed these sources of stress suggest many topics for further exploration and discussion within the professional voice and music education community, including the role of expert influence, the development of personal agency and perceived self-efficacy, as well as the need for individualized, holistic approaches to vocal pedagogy.

Single Fathers Raising Children Following Separation and Divorce

description: This dissertation attempts to learn the amount of satisfaction and comfort single custodial fathers feel in different parenting areas and which variables are most highly associated with the father's satisfaction and comfort. A questionnaire was placed in the May-June, 1982 issue of The Single Parent, the membership magazine for Parents Without Partners. This approach yielded a non-representative sample of 1136 fathers with children 18 years old or younger, approximately 15 to 20 percent of the population that was believed to have qualified for the study.

Five different parenting areas were examined. The father must (1) maintain the house and provide child care; (2) feel satisfaction with how the children living with him are progressing; (3) work and balance the demands of child rearing; (4) adjust to being single again; and (5) establish or resolve his relationship with his ex-wife vis-a-vis her involvement with the children. It was hypothesized that the following variables would be associated with either satisfaction or comfort in the five areas: the age, sex, and number of children being raised; the number of years the father had sole custody; the father's income; whether the father sought custody; and the level of involvement of the ex-wife. By using multiple regression, it was found that only one of the seven variables were useful predictors of the father's satisfaction and comfort in the areas. Fathers were more likely to be experiencing satisfaction and comfort if they earned a higher income or if the income earned was felt to be adequate to meet their needs. This variable was also highly associated with the ex-wife's involvement with the children. The father's satisfaction with the child care arrangements made emerged as a significant predictor of their comfort.

It was found that fathers feel satisfaction and comfort with running the household and with their children's progress. The areas involving working while raising the children and adjusting to being single proved more problematical. Fathers were mixed as to their satisfaction with their ex-wives' involvement with the children, though fathers who described their ex-wives as being very involved experienced greater satisfaction in some of the areas explored.

Quantum Ergoregion Instability

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have shown that, as in the case of black holes, an ergosphere itself with no event horizon inside can evaporate spontaneously, giving energy radiation to spatial infinity until the ergoregion disappears. However, the feature of his quantum ergoregion instability is very much different from black hole radiation. It is rather analogous to a laser amplification. This analysis is based on the canonical quantization of a neutral scalar field in the presence of unstable modes characterized by complex frequencies in a simple model for a rapidly rotating star.
