Thermo-viscous fingering in porous media and in-situ soil remediation
Creators: name: Moyles, Iain
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The removal of artificially and naturally placed oils found in the ground is of paramount concern for environmental reasons and for the extraction of crude oil for energy. While many companies are involved in this soil remediation process, the physics of the underlying problem are not very well understood. We present a mathematical model and analysis of oil extraction in a porous soil based around the injection of water. We first consider a saturation analysis based on conservation of mass between oil and water in a one-dimensional setting and we find that based on certain parameter values, the water-oil interface goes unstable producing viscous finger patterns. We then include the effects of surface tension between oil and water to determine how this affects the growth of such fingers. We conclude that in the limit of small surface tension effects, the results generalize to the original problem, but more importantly, we deduce that there is a scaling which places the formulation into a setting that is invariant with respect to the magnitude of surface tension effects. With this scaling, we notice that the effect of surface tension is to limit the growth of fingers to a maximal wave number and to prevent their formation entirely beyond a certain critical wave number. Finally with the inclusion of temperature, via heated water injection, we see the formation of a dual fingering pattern: one associated with the mass conservation analysis of the oil-water interface and one associated with the conservation of energy across an interface where thermal gradients occur. We see that the thermal gradients across the interface where temperature drops induce unstable viscous patterns with a higher wave number than would occur for an equivalent isothermal interface where there was solely a change in viscosity. The thermal gradients also promote fingering development downstream across the classical viscosity differential driven interface but at the expense of lowering the interfacial velocity. It is interesting to note that the change in saturation that occurs across the energy interface is a result of a pseudo-free boundary created by the thermal problem.
The Evolution of Candidate Vetting in the Liberal Party of Canada 1993-2015

description: Candidate selection for political parties in Canada plays a critical role in the democratic process. As part of candidate selection, most parties require candidates for nomination to go through a vetting exercise. This exercise is little known, however, and has not been widely reviewed in academic literature. Using a series of interviews with senior Liberal Party of Canada campaign personnel, this thesis will review the vetting exercise for candidates of the Liberal Party of Canada from 1993 to 2015. This thesis considers the evolution of candidate review, or “green lighting,” within the context of theories of party organization in Canada. It argues that the green lighting process has contributed to the weakening of a dynamic interplay between areas of authority at the local level that has provided equilibrium against the power of the leader within Canadian political parties. It argues that the stratarchical imperative within the franchise model of party organization in Canada that had provided the capacity for local autonomy as exercised uniquely and individually by constituencies is diminished by the entrenchment of the green lighting process. As a result, the green lighting exercise has contributed to the continuing centralization of power of the leader. As arguably the only brokerage political party in Canada, the candidate selection process of the Liberal Party of Canada is important, given how often it forms government, and how many Liberal Members of Parliament may be elected during each election. The vetting process across parties in general also directly affects representation in Parliament and in government.

description: We use Cosmic Microwave Background data from the WMAP, SPT, BICEP, and QUaD experiments to obtain constraints on the dark matter particle mass $m_χ$, and show that the combined data requires $m_χ> 7.6$ GeV at the 95% confidence level for the $χχ\rightarrow b \bar b$ channel assuming $s-$wave annihilation and a thermal cross section $ = 3 \times 10^{-26}$ cm$^3/$s. We examine whether the bound on $m_χ$ is sensitive to $σ_8$ measurements made by galaxy cluster observations. The large uncertainty in $σ_8$ and the degeneracy with $Ω_{\rm m}$ allow only small improvements in the dark matter mass bound. Increasing the number of effective neutrino-like degrees of freedom to $N_{\rm eff} = 3.85$ improves the mass bound to $m_χ> 8.6$ GeV at 95% confidence, for the $χχ\rightarrow b \bar b$ channel. We also study models in which dark matter halos at $z<60$ reionize the Universe. We compute the Ostriker-Vishniac power resulting from partial reionization at intermediate redshifts $10

description: Today, 23 years after leaving office, almost seven years after his death and 100 years after his birth, Reagan is a legitimate American icon. While all of the elements of his legacy, including winning the Cold War, bringing about morning in America and restoring America to its greatness, can, and indeed must, be challenged, it remains true that in death, Reagan is above reproach. Democrats understand that Reagan's enduring popularity means that Reagan can never be criticized and that the rather obvious point that the roots of many of today's problems lie in the Reagan presidency cannot be mentioned, without incurring significant political consequences. The scandals that dogged the last two years of Reagan's time in office, the massive deficits that Reaganomics occurred, his complete failure to even recognize issues such as the AIDS epidemic, as well as the lasting impacts of his spending cuts on the social fabric of the US, are as much part of his legacy as his role in bringing the Cold War. The importance of Reagan's presidency cannot be denied, but all of the many problems and scandals of his presidency should not be overlooked. In this context, his political skills are even more impressive.

description: Since the indexes in this manuscript are based on aboveground biomass being substituted into the formula, we provide aboveground biomass data to all reviewers. The excel consists of two sheets. The first sheet (monoculture_aboveground biomass) contains aboveground biomass under five monocultures (S.krylovii (SK), A.frigida (AF), A.cristatum (AC), P.tanacetifolia (PT) and E.sibiricus (ES)) and the second sheet (mixculture_aboveground biomass) includes aboveground biomass of each species under six mixtures (S.krylovii and A.frigida (SK-AF); A.frigida and A.cristatum (AF-AC); S.krylovii and A.cristatum (SK-AC); S.krylovii, A.frigida and A.cristatum (SK-AF-AC); S.krylovii, A.frigida, A.cristatum and P.tanacetifolia (SK-AF-AC-PT); S.krylovii, A.frigida, A.cristatum and E.sibiricus (SK-AF-AC-ES)). Each sheet contains two factors respectively, in which drought treatments (Wet:60%-70% SMC, Dry:30%-40% SMC) and soil treatments (inocula of the root zone soil of S.krylovii (SK), A.frigida (AF), A.cristatum (AC), the mixed root zone soil of the three species (MIX; 1:1:1, w:w:w) and sterilized MIX inocula (S)). To calculated the pairwise microbially mediated stabilization and fitness differences of Fig. 2 in manuscript, aboveground biomass of monoculture in sheet (monoculture _aboveground biomass) were substituted into formula 3,4. And aboveground biomass of each species of mixtures of two species (SK-AF, AF-AC, SK-AC) in sheet (mixture_aboveground biomass) were substituted into Formula 6,7 to measure the stabilization (Fig. 3) and competition fitness differences (Fig. 4) between species pairs. The aboveground biomass of S.krylovii, A.frigida and A.cristatum in monocultures and in mixture were substituted into formula 1,2 to present specific feedback under intraspecific and interspecific interaction (Fig. 5a), and biotic feedback under intraspecific and interspecific (Fig. 5b). In supporting information, the aboveground biomass of S.krylovii, A.frigida and A.cristatum in monocultures were substituted into formula 1,2 to present specific feedback (Fig. S2d-f) and biotic feedback (Fig. S2g-i). And aboveground biomass of each species of mixtures of three or four species (SK-AF-AC, SK-AF-AC-PT, SK-AF-AC-ES) in sheet (mixture_aboveground biomass) were substituted into Formula 6,7 to measure the stabilization (Fig. S4) and competition fitness differences (Fig. S5) between species pairs.

Year: 2025

description: The integration of interactive activities in language teaching has become an essential pedagogical approach to enhance student engagement and language acquisition. This paper explores the significance of incorporating interactive methods, such as role-playing, group discussions, and task-based learning, into language classrooms. These activities foster active participation, promote authentic communication, and allow students to practice language skills in real-world contexts. Research highlights that interactive activities not only improve speaking, listening, and writing proficiency but also encourage collaborative learning, critical thinking, and cultural understanding. By shifting the focus from traditional, passive learning methods to interactive, student-centered practices, educators can create a more dynamic and effective language learning environment. The findings emphasize that when students actively engage in language use through interactive activities, their motivation, confidence, and retention of the language significantly increase.

Efficient Subgraph Similarity Search on Large Probabilistic Graph Databases

description: Many studies have been conducted on seeking the efficient solution for subgraph similarity search over certain (deterministic) graphs due to its wide application in many fields, including bioinformatics, social network analysis, and Resource Description Framework (RDF) data management. All these works assume that the underlying data are certain. However, in reality, graphs are often noisy and uncertain due to various factors, such as errors in data extraction, inconsistencies in data integration, and privacy preserving purposes. Therefore, in this paper, we study subgraph similarity search on large probabilistic graph databases. Different from previous works assuming that edges in an uncertain graph are independent of each other, we study the uncertain graphs where edges' occurrences are correlated. We formally prove that subgraph similarity search over probabilistic graphs is #P-complete, thus, we employ a filter-and-verify framework to speed up the search. In the filtering phase,we develop tight lower and upper bounds of subgraph similarity probability based on a probabilistic matrix index, PMI. PMI is composed of discriminative subgraph features associated with tight lower and upper bounds of subgraph isomorphism probability. Based on PMI, we can sort out a large number of probabilistic graphs and maximize the pruning capability. During the verification phase, we develop an efficient sampling algorithm to validate the remaining candidates. The efficiency of our proposed solutions has been verified through extensive experiments.

description: March 23rd was the one year anniversary of the passage of the health care reform bill. This date came and went with very little fanfare or media attention. The anniversary was overlooked partially because of the import of today's issues including the no fly zone in Libya, the aftermath of the tsunami in Japan and the ongoing budget fights in Washington, but it was also overlooked because a year after its passage, it is increasingly clear that the health care bill may not have been as significant as it seemed, and was presented, at the time. The text messages sent from the Obama political operation celebrating the anniversary of this bill, and suggesting its historic significance, largely served to underscore that a year after passage, the health care reform bill is not really historic at all.

description: We consider the hydrodynamics of supersymmetric fluids. Supersymmetry is broken spontaneously and the low energy spectrum includes a fermionic massless mode, the $\mathit{phonino}$. We use two complementary approaches to describe the system: First, we construct a generating functional from which we derive the equations of motion of the fluid and of the phonino propagating through the fluid. We write the form of the leading corrections in the derivative expansion, and show that the so called diffusion terms in the supercurrent are in fact not dissipative. Second, we use an effective field theory approach which utilizes a non-linear realization of supersymmetry to analyze the interactions between phoninos and phonons, and demonstrate the conservation of entropy in ideal fluids. We comment on possible phenomenological consequences for gravitino physics in the early universe.

description: Problem identification is a key phase in the Looper co-creation process. This phase seeks to engage residents of the area covered by the Living Labs in surfacing problems in the public realm and coming to understand those problems more deeply in order to address them. The Brussels Looper Living Lab is located in the municipality of Schaerbeek in the north of the Brussels Capital Region. This municipality has many issues regarding mobility and is therefore an interesting testing ground for the Looper co-creation methodology. VUB-MOBI partnered with citizen NGO BRAL to try to identify and address issues of concern in Schaerbeek. The problem identification for the second loop began in June 2019, with the explicit aim to focus on school streets to improve traffic safety near a school. Whereas in the first loop much time was spent on identifying the problem and organising participatory data collection moments, the second loop focused on the problems that could arise when implementing a traffic safety measure. The Schaerbeek municipality, where the living lab was located, has been encouraging the temporary closure of streets located in front of schools to allow students to get to and from school safely. Looper decided to collaborate with the municipality on these school streets for the second loop. Once a school expressed interest in the project, the aim of the problem identification turned towards smaller issues: how can we together identify and solve the problems that arise when implementing a school street? Schaerbeek municipality had already encountered issues when setting up school streets in the past, which is why they asked Looper to conduct research into school streets. For this second loop, VUB-MOBI and BRAL therefore joined an ongoing initiative from the municipality of Schaerbeek and Ecole 10, an elementary school located in the Grande Rue au Bois in Schaerbeek. Once the school street had been identified as the topic for the living lab, data was collected to understand the current mobility situation of the neighbourhood and to evaluate it once the school street has been implemented. Different types of data were collected to understand the involved parties’ concerns and interest in the school street. Objective data on traffic volumes and speeds were collected with professional equipment as well as by citizens who installed a Telraam – a small counting computer – behind their windows. To identify their perception of traffic safety, residents, parents, and pupils participated in surveys. Other stakeholders, such as the municipality and the regional mobility ministry, were interviewed. Overall, the second loop went smoother than the first, as there was a lot of support from both the municipality and the school itself for the implementation of the school street.

The IREP robot can be deployed into body cavity through a Ø15 mm skin incision to perform SPA procedures. It consists of two snake-like continuum robots as slave surgical assistants for tissue manipulation, two parallelogram mechanisms for the continuum robots' placement, and one controllable stereo vision module with integrated light source for depth perception and tool tracking. Design considerations and alternatives, calculations and preliminary simulations of this 17-DoF surgical robotic system are presented in this paper. The overall control system hierarchy for tele-manipulation using the IREP robot is also presented.

description: We present a new speaker-separation algorithm for separating signals with known statistical characteristics from mixed multi-channel recordings. Speaker separation has conventionally been treated as a problem of blind source separation (BSS). This approach does not utilize any knowledge of the statistical characteristics of the signals to be separated, relying mainly on the independence between the various signals to separate them. We present an algorithm that utilizes detailed statistical information about the signals to be separated, represented in the form of hidden Markov models (HMM). We treat the signal separation problem as one of beamforming, where each signal is extracted using a filter-and-sum array. The filters are estimated to maximize the likelihood of the summed output, measured on the HMM for the desired signal. This is done by iteratively estimating the best state sequence through the HMM from a factorial HMM (FHMM) that is the cross-product of the HMMs for the multiple signals, using the current output of the array, and estimating the filters to maximize the likelihood of that state sequence. Experiments show that the proposed method can cleanly extract a background speaker who is 20 dB below the foreground speaker in a two-speaker mixture, when the HMMs for the signals are constructed from knowledge of the utterance transcriptions.

description: The magnetic properties of graphene-related materials and in particular the spin-polarised edge states predicted for pristine graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with certain edge geometries have received much attention recently due to a range of possible technological applications. However, the magnetic properties of pristine GNRs are not predicted to be particularly robust in the presence of edge disorder. In this work, we examine the magnetic properties of GNRs doped with transition-metal atoms using a combination of mean-field Hubbard and Density Functional Theory techniques. The effect of impurity location on the magnetic moment of such dopants in GNRs is investigated for the two principal GNR edge geometries - armchair and zigzag. Moment profiles are calculated across the width of the ribbon for both substitutional and adsorbed impurities and regular features are observed for zigzag-edged GNRs in particular. Unlike the case of edge-state induced magnetisation, the moments of magnetic impurities embedded in GNRs are found to be particularly stable in the presence of edge disorder. Our results suggest that the magnetic properties of transition-metal doped GNRs are far more robust than those with moments arising intrinsically due to edge geometry.

description: The nearest accreting T Tauri star, TW Hya was observed with spectroscopic and photometric measurements simultaneous with a long se gmented exposure using the CHANDRA satellite. Contemporaneous optical photometry from WASP-S indicates a 4.74 day period was present during this time. Absence of a similar periodicity in the H-alpha flux and the total X-ray flux points to a different source of photometric variations. The H-alpha emission line appears intrinsically broad and symmetric, and both the profile and its variability suggest an origin in the post-shock cooling region. An accretion event, signaled by soft X-rays, is traced spectroscopically for the first time through the optical emission line profiles. After the accretion event, downflowing turbulent material observed in the H-alpha and H-beta lines is followed by He I (5876A) broadening. Optical veiling increases with a delay of about 2 hours after the X-ray accretion event. The response of the stellar coronal emission to an increase in the veiling follows about 2.4 hours later, giving direct evidence that the stellar corona is heated in part by accretion. Subsequently, the stellar wind becomes re-established. We suggest a model that incorporates this sequential series of events: an accretion shock, a cooling downflow in a supersonically turbulent region, followed by photospheric and later, coronal heating. This model naturally explains the presence of broad optical and ultraviolet lines, and affects the mass accretion rates determined from emission line profiles.

description: This paper describes work we have done in developing an insertable surgical imaging device with multiple degrees-of-freedom for minimally invasive surgery. The device is fully insertable into the abdomen using standard 12 mm trocars. It consists of a modular camera and lens system which has pan and tilt capability provided by 2 small DC servo motors. It also has its own integrated lighting system that is part of the camera assembly. Once the camera is inserted into the abdomen, the insertion port is available for additional tooling, motivating the idea of single port surgery. A third zoom axis has been designed for the camera as well, allowing close-up and far-away imaging of surgical sites with a single camera unit. In animal tests with the device we have performed surgical procedures including cholecystectomy, appendectomy, running (measuring) the bowel, suturing, and nephrectomy. The tests show that the new device is: (1) Easier and more intuitive to use than a standard laparoscope. (2) Joystick operation requires no specialized operator training. (3) Field of view and access to relevant regions of the body were superior to a standard laparoscope using a single port. (4) Time to perform procedures was better or equivalent to a standard laparoscope. We believe these insertable platforms will be an integral part of future surgical systems. The platforms can be used with tooling as well as imaging systems, allowing many surgical procedures to be done using such a platform.
