Low-cost self-cladding of coal dumps : the Fungcoal Process
Creators: name: Horan, M.P.
name: Rose, P.D.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The cladding of waste and production coal dumps to prevent combustion and rainfall infiltration, with attendant acidic seepage, has long presented challenges with the high-cost of clay and soil liner systems. The associated environmental damage in sourcing cladding materials can also be severe. Here, we report the development of a biotechnological self-cladding process in which fungal inocula are used to degrade coal and establish a humic soil-like layer on the coal dump surface. The layer supports the growth of grass plantations and the sealing of the dump in this way controls ingress of oxygen and rainfall penetration. This form of cladding is self-generating and thus is not easily prone to permanent erosion damage and loss of the dump cover characteristic of soil/clay liners. Initial fundamental studies on the biodegradation of hard bituminous coals by mycorrhizal fungal strains is described and also how the development of the process has been scaled up from laboratory through piloting to field scale applications. The paper reports economic modeling of the Fungcoal Process which has shown a favourable potential cost benefit in comparison to conventional clay and soil liners.

description: We study the properties of heterostructures formed by two layers of diluted magnetic semiconductor separated by a nonmagnetic semiconductor layer. We find that there is a RKKY-type exchange coupling between the magnetic layers that oscilles between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic as a function of the different parameters in the problem. The different transport properties of these phases make that this heterostructure presents strong magnetoresistive effects. The coupling can be also modified by an electric field. We propose that it is possible to alter dramatically the electrical resistance of the heterostructure by applying an electric field. Our results indicate that in a single gated sample the magnetoresistance could be modulated by with an electrical bias voltage.

Rigorous semiclassical results for the magnetic response of an electron gas

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: Consider a free electron gas in a confining potential and a magnetic field in arbitrary dimensions. If this gas is in thermal equilibrium with a reservoir at temperature $T >0$, one can study its orbital magnetic response (omitting the spin). One defines a conveniently ``smeared out'' magnetization $M$, and the corresponding magnetic susceptibility $χ$, which will be analyzed from a semiclassical point of view, namely when $\hbar$ (the Planck constant) is small compared to classical actions characterizing the system. Then various regimes of temperature $T$ are studied where $M$ and $χ$ can be obtained in the form of suitable asymptotic $\hbar$-expansions. In particular when $T$ is of the order of $\hbar$, oscillations ``à la de Haas-van Alphen'' appear, that can be linked to the classical periodic orbits of the electronic motion.

Reclamation of a limestone quarry to a natural plant community in the Rocky Mountains of southern Alberta
Creators: name: Cohen-Fernández, A.C.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Reclamation of limestone quarries around the world is challenged by an extremely limiting environment, including steep slopes, scarce topsoil and high calcium carbonate substrates with low nutrients and water holding capacity. These issues were addressed at a limestone quarry in the Rocky Mountains of southern Alberta. Reintroduction of key components, such as vegetation and ameliorated soil were expected to speed recovery of ecosystem function. Season of seeding and soil amendment with manure mix, wood shavings and erosion control blankets were evaluated over two growing seasons to determine their effect on soil properties and native grass establishment. Season (fall, spring) of soil amending and seeding did not significantly affect revegetation or soil properties. Site characteristics such as slope, aspect, initial soil nutrients and surrounding plant communities influenced early plant community development and overall effects of soil treatments. Erosion control blankets resulted in highest seeded plant cover and lowest nonseeded plant cover despite not significantly changing soil chemical properties. Manure mix increased plant establishment, soil nutrients, microbial biomass and viable fungi and bacteria. Reclamation is postulated to be best with erosion control blankets and organic soil amendments like manure mix. Results from this work can be extrapolated to other limestone quarries or similar disturbances.

description: We compute roughness exponents of elastic d-dimensional manifolds in (d+1)-dimensional embedding spaces at the depinning transition for d=1,...,4. Our numerical method is rigorously based on a Hamiltonian formulation; it allows to determine the critical manifold in finite samples for an arbitrary convex elastic energy. For a harmonic elastic energy, we find values of the roughness exponent between the one-loop and the two-loop functional renormalization group result, in good agreement with earlier cellular automata simulations. We find that the harmonic model is unstable with respect both to slight stiffening and to weakening of the elastic potential. Anharmonic corrections to the elastic energy allow us to obtain the critical exponents of the quenched KPZ class.

description: As is well known, structure formation in the Universe at times after decoupling can be described by hydrodynamic equations. These are shown here to be equivalent to a generalization of the stochastic Kardar--Parisi--Zhang equation with time-- dependent viscosity in epochs of dissipation. As a consequence of the Dynamical Critical Scaling induced by noise and fluctuations, these equations describe the fractal behavior (with a scale dependent fractal dimension) observed at the smaller scales for the galaxy--to--galaxy correlation function and $also$ the Harrison--Zel'dovich spectrum at decoupling. By a Renormalization Group calculation of the two--point correlation function between galaxies in the presence of (i) the expansion of the Universe and (ii) non--equilibrium, we can account, from first principles, for the main features of the observed shape of the power spectrum.

description: We review the concept of anomaly field theory, namely the fact that the anomalies of a $d$-dimensional field theory can be encoded in a $d+1$-dimensional field theory functor. We give numerous examples of anomaly field theories, explain how classical facts about anomalies are recovered from the anomaly field theory, and review recent work on global anomaly cancellation in 6d supergravity where this concept was instrumental. We also sketch the status of global anomaly cancellation checks in string theory. This paper is based on a talk given at the Durham Symposium `Higher Structures in M-theory' in August 2018.

As a kind of converse, we prove that a Jacobi structure can be defined on the base space of a generalized Lie bialgebroid. We also show that it is possible to construct a Lie bialgebroid from a generalized Lie bialgebroid and, as a consequence, we deduce a duality theorem. Finally, some special classes of generalized Lie bialgebroids are considered: triangular generalized Lie bialgebroids and generalized Lie bialgebras.

description: Gene expression regulation is a set of critical biological processes that give rise to the diversity of cell types across tissues and development stages. Noncoding regions of the genome (intergenic + intronic, >98% of genome) play an important role in these processes, with noncoding genetic variation quantitatively affecting transcriptional activity, splicing of pre-mRNA, and localization, stability, and translational control of mRNA transcripts. Previous genetic studies of human disease have implicated numerous common noncoding loci with small but significant effect in common conditions. Recently, we and others have reported evidence supporting a role of rare noncoding variants with larger effect in early onset conditions such as birth defects and neurodevelopmental disorders. These early onset conditions are quite common in aggregate, affecting over 3% of young children. A better understanding of the functional impact of rare regulatory noncoding variants will enable novel genetic discovery, give insights of disease mechanisms, and ultimately improve diagnosis, treatment, and clinical care. In this thesis dissertation, I describe three related projects. First, we used a combinatorial multi-testing framework to find excess burden of noncoding de novo mutations in congenital heart disease (impacting both transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory stages). This finding was central to the rest of my work, motivating the development of new computational approaches to predict genetic effect of noncoding variants through the lens of post-transcriptional regulation. Second, we used convolutional neural networks to model and understand sequence specific RBP binding processes. Finally, we designed a graphical neural network model capable of integrating cause and consequence to predict genetic effect of rare noncoding variants. In summary, we developed new machine learning methods to analyze multimodal human genome sequencing data, uncover deeper insights into post-transcriptional gene regulatory processes, and advance genomic medicine.

description: This essay presents a conceptual analysis of my piece Unavoidably Sentimental for Large Ensemble. Specifically, the paper traces the roots of the musical thinking in the piece to a notion of Sincerity that emerges from David Foster Wallace’s books and essays. The term New Sincerity, coined by Adam Kelly, is deployed to consider what a post-postmodern Sincerity could sound like in contemporary music. The paper provides general background to the literary discourse around the concept of New Sincerity as an extension of Lionel Trilling’s formalization of Sincerity and Authenticity. It suggests some examples of how a renewed sense of Sincerity could incarnate in contemporary music. As a background for the analysis of Unavoidably Sentimental itself, the paper provides background to my prior engagement with concepts like irony and authenticity in music. Unavoidably Sentimental is analyzed as a linear process, in which the piece tries to emerge out of a net of self-aware referential musical objects into the creation of sonic states of unmediated human communication between the musicians and the audience. I present different musical strategies in which the piece confronts the limitations of human communication through music, contextualized with reference to the portrayal of communication in Wallace’s writings.

Since a classical time parameter is absent in quantum gravity, such conditions must be imposed with respect to intrinsic variables. Constructing wave packets for minisuperspace models from different tree-level string effective actions, we explain in particular the meaning of a transition between ``pre-big-bang" and ``post-big-bang" branches. This leads to a scenario different from previous considerations.

Poststructural Explorations into Relations among Self, Language, Reader Response Theories: (Im)possibilities of Autobiographical Inquiry
Creators: Akai, Naoko
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Education

description: This dissertation explores relations between self and language in the light of Derrida's critique of the traditionally and historically constructed idea of writing and speaking as communication.  Further, this dissertation inquires into relations between self and language among reader-response theories through the exploration of Derrida's concept of a relation between self and language.  These explorations emerge from the idea of a "purity" of English that extends from the researcher's felt relations to English and to her "maternal" or "native" language, Japanese.  Therefore, the researcher autobiographically probes into how she constructed the idea of the "purity" of English by investigating her "experiences" of English, and investigates the idea of the "purity" of English through Derrida's idea of the "pure" French. This dissertation is not a typical autobiographical inquiry in the way that the researcher recounts her "experiences" and interprets the recounting of the "experiences."  This dissertation is partly comprised of explorations in which the researcher does not present herself as the subject of the inquiry.  While keenly aware that this dissertation could be considered to fall outside the category of autobiographical inquiry in its Enlightenment assumptions of the wholly intact, rational "self," the researcher presupposes that this dissertation can challenge such assumptions of traditional Western autobiographical inquiry for two reasons: 1) the explorations of relations between self and language are generated from her interpretations of "experiences"; 2) even when the autobiographical I is not presented in the text, the researcher's subjectivity drives the explorations.  For these two reasons, this dissertation investigates the researcher's subjectivities through its trajectory, thereby questioning the researcher's possibilities of ever being fully situated within a certain theoretical framework. The exploration of relations between self and language in reader-response theories and the researcher's felt relations to English in light of Derrida's concept of a relation between self and language will contribute to English teachers and their educators, especially in the area of teaching of the reading.  Further, the researcher, through inquiries into her subjectivities, arrives at a questioning stance on any possibility of autobiographical inquiry by puncturing the traditional research category of autobiography.

Posterior Predictive Model Checks in Cognitive Diagnostic Models

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Educational tests and measurements

description: Cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs; DiBello, Roussos, & Stout, 2007) have received increasing attention in educational measurement for the purpose of diagnosing strengths and weaknesses of examinees’ latent attributes. And yet, despite the current popularity of a number of diagnostic models, research seeking to assess model-data fit has been limited. The current study applied one of the Bayesian model checking methods, namely the posterior predictive model check method (PPMC; Rubin, 1984), to its investigation of model misfit. We employed the technique in order to assess the model-data misfit from various diagnostic models, using real data and conducting two simulation studies. An important issue when it comes to the application of PPMC is choice of discrepancy measure. This study examines the performance of three discrepancy measures utilized to assess different aspects of model misfit: observed total-scores distribution, association of item pairs, and correlation between attribute pairs as adequate measures of the diagnostic models.

Using some integral identities for co-dimension two surfaces in Minkowski spacetime, the area $A$ of the apparent horizon is shown to be bounded above in terms of the mass $M$ by the $16 πG^2 M^2$, which is consistent with the Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis. The results hold in four spacetime dimensions and above.

description: A forcing poset of size 2^{2^{aleph_1}} which adds no new reals is described and shown to provide a Delta^2_2 definable well-order of the reals (in fact, any given relation of the reals may be so encoded in some generic extension). The encoding of this well-order is obtained by playing with products of Aronszajn trees: Some products are special while other are Suslin trees. The paper also deals with the Magidor-Malitz logic: it is consistent that this logic is highly non compact.

description: In this paper, we focus on the challenging perception problem in robotic pouring. Most of the existing approaches either leverage visual or haptic information. However, these techniques may suffer from poor generalization performances on opaque containers or concerning measuring precision. To tackle these drawbacks, we propose to make use of audio vibration sensing and design a deep neural network PouringNet to predict the liquid height from the audio fragment during the robotic pouring task. PouringNet is trained on our collected real-world pouring dataset with multimodal sensing data, which contains more than 3000 recordings of audio, force feedback, video and trajectory data of the human hand that performs the pouring task. Each record represents a complete pouring procedure. We conduct several evaluations on PouringNet with our dataset and robotic hardware. The results demonstrate that our PouringNet generalizes well across different liquid containers, positions of the audio receiver, initial liquid heights and types of liquid, and facilitates a more robust and accurate audio-based perception for robotic pouring.

Gynandrobrotica Bechyné, 1955a: 9 (type species Diabrotica xanthoptera Baly, 1886, by original designation).
Remarks
Wilcox (1972) listed 32 species for this genus. They occur from Mexico through much of South America. However, the genus apparently does not form a monophyletic clade, some species being nested within Diabroticites and others within Cerotomites Chapuis, 1875 (Gillespie et al. 2008). See Figs 82 and 158–160.

description: We study the dynamics of metallic vertical stripes in cuprates within the three-band Hubbard model based on a recently developed time dependent Gutzwiller approximation. As doping increases the optical conductivity shows transfer of spectral weight from the charge transfer band towards i) an incoherent band centered at 1.3eV, {ii} a Drude peak, mainly due to motion along the stripe, {iii} a low energy collective mode which softens with doping and merges with ii} at optimum doping in good agreement with experiment. The softening is related to the quasidegeneracy between Cu centered and O centered mean-field stripe solutions close to optimal doping.

description: We introduce a novel implementation of a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm which is designed to find an optimal jet grooming strategy, a critical tool for collider experiments. The RL agent is trained with a reward function constructed to optimize the resulting jet properties, using both signal and background samples in a simultaneous multi-level training. We show that the grooming algorithm derived from the deep RL agent can match state-of-the-art techniques used at the Large Hadron Collider, resulting in improved mass resolution for boosted objects. Given a suitable reward function, the agent learns how to train a policy which optimally removes soft wide-angle radiation, allowing for a modular grooming technique that can be applied in a wide range of contexts. These results are accessible through the corresponding GroomRL framework.

description: The pseudoperturbative shifted-l expansion technique (PSLET) is introduced to determine nodeless states of the 2D Schrodinger equation with an arbitrary cylindrically symmetric potentials. Exact energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the 2D Coulomb and harmonic oscillator potentials are reproduced. Moreover, exact energy eigenvalues, compared to those obtained by numerical solution [11], were obtained for the hybrid of the 2D Coulomb and oscillator potentials.

description: 2.1. AM root colonization, Trichoderma concentration, growth responses    and SPAD index
 The percentage AM root colonization at the end of the experiment was significantly affected by the microbial inoculation treatment (Table 1). No AM fungi colonization was recorded in the roots of the control wheat plants or in the substrate or seed treatments with T. atroviride. However, in the plants supplied with R. irregulare, the percentage of AM was around 32% (Table 1). Moreover, the total number of Trichoderma colonies recovered from the growing media and roots in the four treatments ranged between 1.1 × 10ˆ 1 and 3.7 × 10ˆ 4 CFU g −1, with the highest values recorded in both the cases with substrate application and seed treatment with T. atroviride (Table 1).
 Concerning the effects of microbial inoculation on growth responses, our results showed that inoculation with R. irregulare elicited significant increases (+18%, 39% and 20%) in the shoot, root dry biomass and root-to-shoot ratio compared to the untreated plants, whereas inoculation with T. atroviride via a substrate drench or as a seed treatment yielded intermediate values (Table 1). Similar to the effects on biomass production, the Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) index in the microbial inoculation treatments was significantly higher (by 8% on average) than that obtained in the untreated wheat plants, irrespective of the microbial-biostimulant treatment (Table 1).

description: We analyze the interstellar medium properties of a sample of sixteen bright CO line emitting galaxies identified in the ALMA Spectroscopic Survey in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (ASPECS) Large Program. This CO$-$selected galaxy sample is complemented by a couple of additional CO line emitters in the UDF that are identified based on their MUSE optical spectroscopic redshifts. The ASPECS CO$-$selected galaxies cover a larger range of star-formation rates and stellar masses compared to literature CO emitting galaxies at $z>1$ for which scaling relations have been established previously. Most of ASPECS CO-selected galaxies follow these established relations in terms of gas depletion timescales and gas fractions as a function of redshift, as well as the star-formation rate-stellar mass relation (`galaxy main sequence'). However, we find that $\sim30\%$ of the galaxies (5 out of 16) are offset from the galaxy main sequence at their respective redshift, with $\sim12\%$ (2 out of 16) falling below this relationship. Some CO-rich galaxies exhibit low star-formation rates, and yet show substantial molecular gas reservoirs, yielding long gas depletion timescales. Capitalizing on the well-defined cosmic volume probed by our observations, we measure the contribution of galaxies above, below, and on the galaxy main sequence to the total cosmic molecular gas density at different lookback times. We conclude that main sequence galaxies are the largest contributor to the molecular gas density at any redshift probed by our observations (z$\sim$1$-$3). The respective contribution by starburst galaxies above the main sequence decreases from z$\sim$2.5 to z$\sim$1, whereas we find tentative evidence for an increased contribution to the cosmic molecular gas density from the passive galaxies below the main sequence.

Postwar Nostalgia and Japanese Style in the Historic Preservation and Development of Kishu An Forest of Literature in Taipei, Taiwan
Creators: Starks, Charles
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Asians
subject: Architecture
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: This thesis examines the citizens’ movement in Taipei, Taiwan, that arose in the first decade of the 21st century to preserve, restore and reuse the Kishu An, a commercial building constructed when Taiwan was a Japanese colony in the early 20th century.  The preservation movement has culminated in the creation of a literary cultural center and teahouse, called the Kishu An Forest of Literature. The preservation of the site was shaped by a coalition of diverse interests, including students, neighbors who wanted to save the site’s large trees and open space and members of the literary community which had emerged in the neighborhood after World War II. I find that while the cultural center utilizes the site’s Japanese imagery to promote tourist visits by the general public interested in the contemporary "ha ri" or “Japanophilia” phenomenon, the preservation of Japanese style also has deeper connections to the legacy of Japanese architecture in Taiwan’s postwar past. In Taiwan, Japanese buildings are remembered as humble domestic residences and as sites of educated resistance to martial law, and the Taiwan independence movement has embraced the island’s Japanese heritage as a counterweight to Guomindang control and mainland Chinese influence. Japanese architectural objects such as the Kishu An bear these meanings and have become symbols of a shared past for a population whose political orientation and national identity remain unstable.
