The relationship between temperature regime and pathogen kill in composting and assessing exposure of compost workers to airborne biohazards
Creators: name: Zhang, Xi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The study has been conducted in three parts: I. Collect both temporal and spatial thermal data; 2. Quantify the number of organisms of interest in compost samples; 3. Collect and analyse bioaerosol samples to test the workers’ exposure to organisms of concern. The study obtained more detailed and extensive data of both spatial and temporal temperature distributions in real, operational compost piles than any previous studies. By using data loggers allocated at every part of the pile (approximately surrogate of each 0.5 m3 material) and continuously record temperatures from building the new pile till screening. A series of findings have been achieved from the intensive temperature monitoring, such as how differently material at different positions could behave in terms of temperature; how physical parameters (particle size, porosity etc.) of the material could influence the process and so on. Furthermore, the study also correlated the time-temperature regime with level of pathogen-kill for a full-scale operational composting practice. Total coliforms, Thermo-tolerant coliforms, E. coli and Enterococci were confirmed and quantified. Significant destruction of microbial organisms was observed during composting based on the performance of Enterococci. Some limitations about the test methods have been found. Also, some other factors such as temperature fluctuation, occurrence of re-growth, interference of environmental organisms etc. all made the composting microbiology a complex issue. Besides studying the bacteria in the pile, effort has also been given to investigating exposures of how the airbome bacteria from handling the compost to workers at the site. It has been found that the cab can well protect the workers from being exposed to the bioaerosols; precipitation could significantly reduce the number of airborne bacteria; turning and screening the pile do result in relatively high concentration of bioaerosols while the influence on upwind and downwind area from composting facility is negligible; also the presence of airborne bacteria does show some consistency with the performance of bacteria in the feedstock over time. In addition, moisture content and nutrients (C, N) concentration analysis were determined on the compost samples. The weather conditions had been monitored continuously during the whole process.

Nitrous oxide emission and nitrogen transformation dynamics in a hybrid simultaneous nitrification, denitrification and phosphorus removal system
Creators: name: Lo, Ing-Wei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 310 times that of the contribution of CO₂. It is now recognized that the potential exists for N₂0 emission to be significant from some biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes. The control of N₂0 off-gas must therefore be considered when operating a BNR system. The main objectives of this research were to investigate the mechanisms involved in the production and reduction of nitrous oxide in biological wastewater treatment systems, and to use N₂0 off-gas as a real-time control parameter to assess ammonia oxidation in a simultaneous nitrification, denitrification and phosphorus removal (SNDPR) system. Strategies to diminish the emission of nitrous oxide from the treatment process were also studied. The data support the conclusion that a hybrid system, including suspended sludge and biofilm in the same reactor of a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was a more effective system than a conventional suspended growth system, in terms of overall effluent quality, SND efficiency and lower emission of N₂0. In the hybrid system, nitrification occurred mostly in the suspended sludge; the biofilm played the major role in denitrification. It was also determined that N₂0 off-gas from the hybrid system was mainly a result of heterotrophic denitrification, rather than nitrification. N₂0 reduction rates were found to be higher with the existence of an external carbon source and the absence of DO. It was also observed that N₂0 reduction rates were higher for acetate, than for lactose, in the presence and absence of DO. Denitrification using stored carbon resulted in the production of more N₂0 off-gas than denitrification using an external carbon source. The largest production of N₂0 off-gas occurred when the internal carbon source was PHA during aerobic conditions. Based on the results of the investigation into the factors affecting N₂0 emissions, operating strategies for N₂0 off-gas control were suggested. These strategies were the use of lower aeration rates, continuous feeding and higher pH. The emission of N₂0 was found to have a close correlation with ammonia removal, which can be a tool for real-time assessment of ammonia oxidation. Therefore, it can be considered as a potential real-time control parameter for ammonia oxidation in a SNDPR hybrid SBR system.

description: Diderot's \textit{Encyclopédie} is a reference work from XVIIIth century in Europe that aimed at collecting the knowledge of its era. \textit{Wikipedia} has the same ambition with a much greater scope. However, the lack of digital connection between the two encyclopedias may hinder their comparison and the study of how knowledge has evolved. A key element of \textit{Wikipedia} is Wikidata that backs the articles with a graph of structured data. In this paper, we describe the annotation of more than 10,300 of the \textit{Encyclopédie} entries with Wikidata identifiers enabling us to connect these entries to the graph. We considered geographic and human entities. The \textit{Encyclopédie} does not contain biographic entries as they mostly appear as subentries of locations. We extracted all the geographic entries and we completely annotated all the entries containing a description of human entities. This represents more than 2,600 links referring to locations or human entities. In addition, we annotated more than 9,500 entries having a geographic content only. We describe the annotation process as well as application examples. This resource is available at https://github.com/pnugues/encyclopedie_1751

Evaluation of direct stucco-woodframe connectors in improved stucco shear walls
Creators: name: Sofali, Vahid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Due to the weakness of the connections between woodframe and stucco, a large number of woodframe residential buildings with stucco as a shear resisting member were damaged during past earthquakes. This has resulted in the shear resistance of stucco being reduced in a number of building codes. A number of research projects have been conducted on stucco shear walls since then and the results from all research projects indicated that stucco separates from the wood frame due to the weakness of the connections between the wood frame and stucco when subjected to lateral cyclic loading. On the other hand, when properly attached to wood frame, stucco can have a significant contribution to the stiffness of the structure. A special connector was developed to provide direct shear connection between stucco and woodframe structures. The device is designed to have adequate stiffness and strength, and to act as a ductile “fuse” so that stucco shear walls will have a well defined strength and significant ductility. As part of the current research project, numerous tests were conducted on stucco-connector-woodframe elements to study the shear connectors, and provide important design information. Tests were also conducted on 8 ft by 8 ft stucco wall panels with and without the special connectors. The tests show that stucco shear walls with the connectors have much greater shear strength and ductility than regular stucco walls. The tests also show that stucco walls with the shear connectors can achieve similar strengths and similar ductility as plywood shear walls.
Analytical study to investigate the seismic performance of single story tilt-up structures
Creators: name: Olund, Omri
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This report describes an analytical study to investigate the seismic performance of single-story tilt-up structures with steel deck roof diaphragms. A review of current practice in North America for the seismic design of tilt-up structures reveals two points of interest; the flexibility of the roof diaphragm is not considered in calculation of the fundamental building period for the design, and that a force-based approach is used for seismic design that does not incorporate the principles of capacity-design currently used in other building systems, such as moment frames, braced frames, and shear walls. To explore the application of capacity design for tilt-up structures, three possible failure mechanisms are investigated and compared: rocking of wall panels, sliding of wall panels, and frame action for buildings with wall panels incorporating large openings. Based on results of an industry survey, two building archetypes are created to represent the most common building types found in seismically active areas; one including solid panels and the second incorporating panels with large openings. Consideration of the sliding mechanism suggests it would be difficult to incorporate into common applications due to building geometry irregularities, difficulties in estimating sliding resistance, and permanent deformation resulting from the mechanism. Analytical results from this study are compared with findings from previous research; the most interesting comparison showed the period from the analytical model to be within 10% of the estimated building period from ASCE 41 when the weight of the out-of-plane walls are considered in the estimate. The rocking mechanism and frame mechanism are studied further by carrying out a preliminary assessment of seismic performance factors (R-values) utilizing concepts from the ATC-63 Methodology. Various analyses, including non-linear time history analyses for a suite of earthquakes, are carried out on 3D models of the building archetypes. Based on analysis results, the adequacies of some building components are evaluated, including the strength of the roof deck connectors and the strength of wall panel to roof connections both in-plane and out-of-plane. Further research is required to provide a recommendation for R-values, however, preliminary recommendations are provided and limitations of the study are discussed.

Aldrichiopa coracella has been reported as a parasitoid of the Chilean carpenter worm Chilecomadia valdiviana (Artigas 1994; Baldini & Pancel 2002; Estay 2020) and Chilecomadia moorei (Artigas 1994). Cortés (1948) explains that A. coracella was obtained from the last larval instar of a Langsdorfia sp. The larva of the moth emerges from the egg laid in the bark of fruit and forest trees and penetrates the interior of the tree without leaving it until it is ready to pupation. Considering the evidence of ovolarviparity of A. coracella the larva could be deposited very near its host. Furthermore, Cortes (1968) mentioned an interesting finding that 11 Aldrichiopa specimens were obtained from a single Langsdorfia larva which indicates a gregarious parasitoid behavior.

description: Performing intervention tasks in the maritime domain is crucial for safety and operational efficiency. The unpredictable and dynamic marine environment makes the intervention tasks such as object manipulation extremely challenging. This study proposes a robust solution for object manipulation from a dock in the presence of disturbances caused by sea waves. To tackle this challenging problem, we apply a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based algorithm called Soft. Actor-Critic (SAC). SAC employs an actor-critic framework; the actors learn a policy that minimizes an objective function while the critic evaluates the learned policy and provides feedback to guide the actor-learning process. We trained the agent using the PyBullet dynamic simulator and tested it in a realistic simulation environment called MBZIRC maritime simulator. This simulator allows the simulation of different wave conditions according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) sea state code. Simulation results demonstrate a high success rate in retrieving the objects from the dock. The trained agent achieved an 80 percent success rate when applied in the simulation environment in the presence of waves characterized by sea state 2, according to the WMO sea state code

description: Sensory illusions - where a sensory stimulus causes people to perceive effects that are altered by a different sensory stimulus - have the potential to enrich mixed-reality based interactions. The well-known colour-temperature illusion is a sensory illusion that causes people to, somewhat counterintuitively, perceive blue objects to feel warmer and red objects to feel colder. There is currently little information about whether this illusion can be recreated in mixed reality (MR). Additionally, it is unknown whether dynamic graphical effects made possible by mixed-reality systems could create a similar or potentially stronger effect to the color-temperature illusion. The results of our study (n=30) support that the color-temperature illusion can be recreated in MR and that dynamic graphics can create a new temperature-sensory illusion. Our dynamic-graphics-temperature illusion creates a stronger effect than the color-temperature illusion and has more intuitive relationship between the stimulus and the effect: cold graphical effects (a virtual ice ball) are perceived as colder and hot graphical effects (a virtual fire ball) as hotter. Our results demonstrate that mixed reality has the potential to create novel and stronger temperature-based illusions and encourage further investigation into graphical effects to shape user perception.

Optimization of the Kootenay River hydroelectric system with a linear programming model
Creators: name: Abolghasemi Riseh, Hamideh

description: The main objective of hydroelectric system optimization is to determine an operating policy for the best use of available resources. In order to find the optimum policy one should decide on the trade-off between the marginal value of water in the reservoirs and the amount of electricity produced electricity. The variability of natural inflows along with local and environmental limitations and special procedures and regulations, makes the decision making process more challenging for an operation planner of a reservoir system. The region considered in this study is the Kootenay River System and it includes five hydroelectric plants and a canal. The main storage reservoir in this system is the Kootenay Lake, which is the largest natural lake in British Columbia, Canada. The operation of the Kootenay system is complex because day-to-day operation decisions should satisfr all existing rules and water treaties and agreements in the area. In addition, a power generation schedule should take advantage of electricity markets and meet local load demands. This thesis developed a Linear Programming model to optimize the operation of the Kootenay system on daily timesteps for studies up to one year. Due to the operational complexities, the Kootenay system was not included in the optimization models developed at B.C Hydro (BCH). This model can be an extension to the existing “STOM” (Short Term Optimization Model) and Generalized Optimization Model “GOM”, which have been successfully adopted by BCH to optimize the daily operation of its plants. This is the first optimization model for the operation of Kootenay System and was developed in accordance with all the existing international treaties and special constraints on this system. Results obtained using the model have indicated that this model can successfully optimize the operation of the Kootenay system. Comparison of this model to the current operation method showed that with respect to all system’s constraints and value of water, the optimization model can yield a higher value of electricity generation and it is expected that it will be added to the set of tools used by the system operation engineers for their daily operations.

description: Fairness has become a crucial aspect in the development of trustworthy machine learning algorithms. Current fairness metrics to measure the violation of demographic parity have the following drawbacks: (i) the average difference of model predictions on two groups cannot reflect their distribution disparity, and (ii) the overall calculation along all possible predictions conceals the extreme local disparity at or around certain predictions. In this work, we propose a novel fairness metric called Maximal Cumulative ratio Disparity along varying Predictions' neighborhood (MCDP), for measuring the maximal local disparity of the fairness-aware classifiers. To accurately and efficiently calculate the MCDP, we develop a provably exact and an approximate calculation algorithm that greatly reduces the computational complexity with low estimation error. We further propose a bi-level optimization algorithm using a differentiable approximation of the MCDP for improving the algorithmic fairness. Extensive experiments on both tabular and image datasets validate that our fair training algorithm can achieve superior fairness-accuracy trade-offs.

description: We consider the problem of sequentially maximizing an unknown function $f$ over a set of actions of the form $(s,\mathbf{x})$, where the selected actions must satisfy a safety constraint with respect to an unknown safety function $g$. We model $f$ and $g$ as lying in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), which facilitates the use of Gaussian process methods. While existing works for this setting have provided algorithms that are guaranteed to identify a near-optimal safe action, the problem of attaining low cumulative regret has remained largely unexplored, with a key challenge being that expanding the safe region can incur high regret. To address this challenge, we show that if $g$ is monotone with respect to just the single variable $s$ (with no such constraint on $f$), sublinear regret becomes achievable with our proposed algorithm. In addition, we show that a modified version of our algorithm is able to attain sublinear regret (for suitably defined notions of regret) for the task of finding a near-optimal $s$ corresponding to every $\mathbf{x}$, as opposed to only finding the global safe optimum. Our findings are supported with empirical evaluations on various objective and safety functions.

Cement-based sensors for structural health monitoring
Creators: name: Azhari, Faezeh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of structural health monitoring is to continuously and accurately assess the performance of structures using a sensory system. Recently introduced, cement-based sensors are piezoresistive and therefore can be used to sense stress/strain, simply by monitoring their electrical resistivity. These sensors, also known as smart (self-monitoring) structural materials can be used as a part or total component of structures and provide both structural capability and response to applied stress and damage. In this study cement-based sensors are developed using two types of carbon fibres, as well as both single-walled and multi-walled carbon nano-tubes. A wide range of experiments were conducted to pinpoint the most efficient fibre content, frequency, electrode type and resistivity measurement technique. The influence of different parameters such as curing, temperature, moisture and chloride were also investigated. The resistivity of the specimens increased with curing time, but became almost constant after a certain amount of time. The resistivity values decreased with increasing temperature and increased with the decrease in temperature at a rate of about 22-35 ohm-cm/°C. It was further found that moisture and chloride have a considerable influence on the electrical resistivity of these sensors. Next, the response of the developed cement-based sensors to compressive, tensile and flexural loading was explored. The resistivity values from the sensors were compared with load and displacement values as well as strain data acquired from conventional strain gauges. The results indicate that electrical resistivity of the sensors increases reversibly upon tension and decreases reversibly under compression provided that substantial cracking does not occur and the sensor remains in the elastic range. Once a dense field of micro-cracking followed by macro-cracking occurs, these sensors respond distinctly, possibly even prior to the appearance of visible cracks, providing an early prediction of any upcoming failure. The resistivity measurements under both compressive and tensile stress demonstrated an excellent correlation with strain. The developed sensors offer gauge factors well above those of electrical strain gauges. It is concluded, therefore, that cement-based sensors can be the future alternative for conventional sensors in the structural health monitoring of concrete structures.
