An evaluation of the guidelines for coal development, British Columbia
Creators: name: Gibson, Margaret Linda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In 1976, the British Columbia government established a Coal Development Guidelines (CDG) program with the goal of directing coal-mining development in a rational and comprehensively planned manner through procedures established to appraise impacts. An evaluation of the program, dealt with in this thesis, showed that, during seven years of rapid economic growth, 20 B.C. coal mines were appraised, yet the CDG program remained formally unchanged. The researcher designed an evaluation study model which included profiles of the program's policy, historical, and institutional contexts. Three mine project proposals— Line Creek, Greenhills, and Sukunka—were used as case studies to provide evidence of program actions. Seven critiques assembled by various authors were reviewed and compared for common elements, contradictions, and ambiguities, A sample of 23 government and corporate representatives involved in the program was interviewed and their responses to a questionnaire were analysed to determine program outcomes. The adequacy of the CDG program was to be determined from the criteria developed within the study model. The findings indicated a range of concerns over the adequacy of the CDG program in meeting its goal. Overall program adequacy was not determined, however, because of changes in the economic and social climate and the diversity of interests which precluded a clear conclusion. A limitation to program adequacy was identified which came from two planning processes that operated for coal development appraisal—the official, multi-participant guidelines and and unofficial, internal, public-sector planning process. It was observed that often the guidelines were not followed in actual decision-making. Program actions were frequently adequate, however, in terms of the specific planning documentation. The unexpected outcome of varied individual attitudes toward program credibility suggested that major program revisions may be necessary. Possibilities for program change, with their implications, were identified. An utilization-based evaluation was recommended for within the provincial government.
Interacting resonant level coupled to a Luttinger liquid: Universality of thermodynamic properties

description: We investigate a model of a single resonant level coupled to the edge of a quantum wire in the Luttinger liquid phase or to the middle of a chiral Luttinger liquid via both tunneling and a contact interaction. Utilizing the Yuval-Anderson approach, we map this model onto a classical 1D Coulomb gas in which all the details of both the interactions in the lead and the level-lead interaction enter only through the corresponding Fermi-edge singularity exponent, which we explicitly evaluate using the Bethe ansatz solution for a particular model of the lead. Thus the population, dynamical capacitance and level entropy are universal in the sense of being equal for models with interactions differing in magnitude and even in sign. We demonstrate this to hold quantitatively using density matrix renormalization group calculations. Since the Coulomb gas description is of the single channel Kondo type, we infer that the universality we found implies that Luttinger liquid physics has no qualitative effect on these properties, in contrast with perturbative results.

description: Geometric confinements play an important role in many physical and biological processes and significantly affect the rheology and behavior of colloidal suspensions at low Reynolds numbers. On the basis of the linear Stokes equations, we investigate theoretically and computationally the viscous azimuthal flow induced by the slow rotation of a small spherical particle located in the vicinity of a rigid no-slip disk or inside a gap between two coaxially positioned rigid no-slip disks of the same radius. We formulate the solution of the hydrodynamic problem as a mixed-boundary-value problem in the whole fluid domain, which we subsequently transform into a system of dual integral equations. Near a stationary disk, we show that the resulting integral equation can be reduced into an elementary Abel integral equation that admits a unique analytical solution. Between two coaxially positioned stationary disks, we demonstrate that the flow problem can be transformed into a system of two Fredholm integral equations of the first kind. The latter are solved by means of numerical approaches. Using our solution, we further investigate the effect of the disks on the slow rotational motion of a colloidal particle and provide expressions of the hydrodynamic mobility as a function of the system geometry. We compare our results with corresponding finite-element simulations and observe very good agreement.

The electric power grid is undergoing an unprecedented transformation into a more efficient, reliable, resilient, and clean infrastructure. This transformation is primarily supported by more comprehensive grid monitoring and control, enabled by advanced metering infrastructure, distribution automation, and phasor measurement units, among other sensing and measurement technologies. This enhanced monitoring and control facilitates multiple viable practices, most notably Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) and Volt-Var Optimization (VVO). CVR, which has gained renewed interest in recent years, is a cost?effective way to deliver energy efficiency benefits to customers. However, one of the most significant challenges in CVR application is the measurement and verification (M&V) of its effects. Once CVR is applied, there is no benchmark load consumption measurement, which complicates assessing the CVR's real impact. This issue is complicated by the difficulty of distinguishing between changes in load and energy consumption caused by variations in temperature and customer usage patterns over time and those energy changes caused by the activity of regulating devices with and without CVR.

The IEEE CVR M&V Standard Taskforce was tasked by the IEEE Volt-Var Working Group in October 2020 to study the need for an industry-accepted standard for CVR M&V data collection and management. This standard aims to complement the group's existing work, including the IEEE P1885 Draft Guide for Assessing, Measuring, and Verifying Volt-Var Control Optimization on Distribution Systems; IEEE P1889 Guide for Evaluating and Testing the Electrical Performance of Energy Savings Devices; and IEEE P1459 IEEE Standard Definitions for the Measurement of Electric Power Quantities Under Sinusoidal, Nonsinusoidal, Balanced, or Unbalanced Conditions. The taskforce conducted a comprehensive survey and performed thorough studies using collected data from four electric utilities. This report provides an in-depth review of the survey results and simulations.

description: The topological structure resulting from the network of contacts between grains (\emph{contact network}) is studied for large samples of monosized spheres with densities (fraction of volume occupied by the spheres) ranging from 0.59 to 0.64. We retrieve the coordinates of each bead in the pack and we calculate the average coordination number by using three different methods. We show that, in the range of density investigated, the coordination number is larger than 4 and it increases with the packing fraction. At local level we also observe a positive correlation between local packing fraction and number of neighbors. We discover a dependence between the local densities of configurations with few neighbors in contact and the global sample-denities. This might indicate that local configurations with small number of neighbors are able to deform plastically when the sample is compactifying.

description: Recent measurements of the reaction d(d,p)t in metallic environments at very low energies performed by different experimental groups point to an enhanced electron screening effect. However, the resulting screening energies differ strongly for divers host metals and different experiments. Here, we present new experimental results and investigations of interfering processes in the irradiated targets. These measurements inside metals set special challenges and pitfalls which make them and the data analysis particularly error-prone. There are multi-parameter collateral effects which are crucial for the correct interpretation of the observed experimental yields. They mainly originate from target surface contaminations due to residual gases in the vacuum as well as from inhomogeneities and instabilities in the deuteron density distribution in the targets. In order to address these problems an improved differential analysis method beyond the standard procedures has been implemented. Profound scrutiny of the other experiments demonstrates that the observed unusual changes in the reaction yields are mainly due to deuteron density dynamics simulating the alleged screening energy values. The experimental results are compared with different theoretical models of the electron screening in metals. The Debye-Hückel model that has been previously proposed to explain the influence of the electron screening on both nuclear reactions and radioactive decays could be clearly excluded.

description: Nature is remarkably adept at using interfaces to build structures, encapsulate reagents, and regulate biological processes. Inspired by Nature, we describe flexible polymer-based ribbons, termed "mesoscale polymers" (MSPs), to modulate interfacial interactions with liquid droplets. This produces unprecedented hybrid assemblies in the forms of flagellum-like structures and MSP-wrapped droplets. Successful preparation of these hybrid structures hinges on interfacial interactions and tailored MSP compositions, such as MSPs with domains possessing distinctly different affinity for fluid-fluid interfaces as well as mechanical properties. In situ measurements of MSP-droplet interactions confirm that MSPs possess a negligible bending stiffness, allowing interfacial energy to drive mesoscale assembly. By exploiting these interfacial driving forces, mesoscale polymers are demonstrated as a powerful platform that underpins the preparation of sophisticated hybrid structures in fluids.

This report explains why cloud computing supports a variety of power system businesses and summarizes the latest cloud adoption use cases in the power industry. It includes the benefits and risks of moving to the cloud while suggesting risk mitigation strategies at the same time. It also provides valuable guidelines and suggestions for power industry professionals who are considering cloud solutions yet are hesitant about the execution strategies. Based on extensive discussions and experience sharing among task force participants, including grid operators, utility companies, software vendors, and cloud providers, the task force decided to let this document focus on some of the most commonly seen concerns over the cloud, such as cost, service model selection and security control. The task force attempts to address these concerns through case analysis and the best practices we learned from both cloud providers and leading cloud users in the industry. Moreover, this report also investigates other factors that discourage electric utilities from moving to the cloud and seeks corresponding solutions for them. Through multiple use cases and instructions summarized in this report, power industry practitioners are likely to get help for the design or selection of their cloud solutions. Besides, power system software vendors will learn from this report how to make their application products better adapt to the cloud computing environment. Last but not the least, the encompassed work and discussion could provide useful references for the development of NERC guidelines and standards relevant to cloud adoption in the industry. Though a list of terms and definitions are included in the appendix, having a basic understanding of cloud technology and a moderate grasp of some fundamental concepts about cloud adoption is a prerequisite for the readers to comprehend this report.
The development of multiple seepage faces along heterogeneous hillsides
Creators: name: Rulon, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A study has been made to clarify the water-table configuration and hydraulic-head distribution in layered hillsides containing multiple seepage faces. A finite-element model was used to simulate two-dimensional, saturated and unsaturated, steady-state, and transient flow through layered slopes. A laboratory sand-tank experiment was built to test the physical foundation of the mathematical model; the test met with success. Layered slopes were found to feature perched water tables and wedge-shaped unsaturated zones which, in some cases, can extend several kilometers into the flow region. The results demonstrate that the hydraulic-head distribution and the formation of multiple seepage faces are strongly dependent on the position of the impeding layers, the hydraulic conductivity contrast, the rainfall rate, anisotropy, and the slope angle. Predictions of the groundwater conditions based on homogeneous, saturated analyses may be significantly in error when applied to problems in layered slopes. This study has implications with respect to slope stability, inflows into excavations, regional groundwater flow, the occurrence of perched flow systems, and hillslope processes involved in landform development.

description: GW170817 has led to the first example of multi-messenger astronomy with observations from gravitational wave interferometers and electromagnetic telescopes combined to characterise the source. However, detections of the early inspiral phase by the gravitational wave detectors would allow the observation of the earlier stages of the merger in the electromagnetic band, improving multi-messenger astronomy and giving access to new information. In this paper, we introduce a new machine-learning-based approach to produce early-warning alerts for an inspiraling binary neutron star system, based only on the early inspiral part of the signal. We give a proof of concept to show the possibility to use a combination of small convolutional neural networks trained on the whitened detector strain in the time domain to detect and classify early inspirals. Each of those is targeting a specific range of chirp masses dividing the binary neutron star category into three sub-classes: light, intermediate and heavy. In this work, we focus on one LIGO detector at design sensitivity and generate noise from the design power spectral density. We show that within this setup it is possible to produce an early alert up to 100 seconds before the merger for the best-case scenario. We also present some future upgrades that will enhance the detection capabilities of our convolutional neural networks. Finally, we also show that the current number of detections for a realistic binary neutron star population is comparable to that of matched filtering and that there is a high probability to detect GW170817- and GW190425-like events at design sensitivity.

description: Federated learning aims to protect users' privacy while performing data analysis from different participants. However, it is challenging to guarantee the training efficiency on heterogeneous systems due to the various computational capabilities and communication bottlenecks. In this work, we propose FedSkel to enable computation-efficient and communication-efficient federated learning on edge devices by only updating the model's essential parts, named skeleton networks. FedSkel is evaluated on real edge devices with imbalanced datasets. Experimental results show that it could achieve up to 5.52$\times$ speedups for CONV layers' back-propagation, 1.82$\times$ speedups for the whole training process, and reduce 64.8% communication cost, with negligible accuracy loss.

description: The tangent dynamics of the Lyapunov modes and their dynamics as generated numerically - {\it the numerical dynamics} - is considered. We present a new phenomenological description of the numerical dynamical structure that accurately reproduces the experimental data for the quasi-one-dimensional hard-disk system, and shows that the Lyapunov mode numerical dynamics is linear and separate from the rest of the tangent space. Moreover, we propose a new, detailed structure for the Lyapunov mode tangent dynamics, which implies that the Lyapunov modes have well-defined (in)stability in either direction of time. We test this tangent dynamics and its derivative properties numerically with partial success. The phenomenological description involves a time-modal linear combination of all other Lyapunov modes on the same polarization branch and our proposed Lyapunov mode tangent dynamics is based upon the form of the tangent dynamics for the zero modes.

Direct Evaluation of the Phase Diagrams of Dense Multicomponent Plasmas by Integration of the Clapeyron Equations

description: Accurate phase diagrams of multicomponent plasmas are required for the modeling of dense stellar plasmas, such as those found in the cores of white dwarf stars and the crusts of neutron stars. Those phase diagrams have been computed using a variety of standard techniques, which suffer from physical and computational limitations. Here, we present an efficient and accurate method that overcomes the drawbacks of previously used approaches. In particular, finite-size effects are avoided as each phase is calculated separately; the plasma electrons and volume changes are explicitly taken into account; and arbitrary analytic fits to simulation data are avoided. Furthermore, no simulations at uninteresting state conditions, i.e., away from the phase coexistence curves, are required, which improves the efficiency of the technique. The method consists of an adaptation of the so-called Gibbs-Duhem integration approach to electron-ion plasmas, where the coexistence curve is determined by direct numerical integration of its underlying Clapeyron equation. The thermodynamics properties of the coexisting phases are evaluated separately using Monte Carlo simulations in the isobaric semi-grand canonical ensemble. We describe this Monte Carlo-based Clapeyron integration method, including its basic principles, our extension to electron-ion plasmas, and our numerical implementation. We illustrate its applicability and benefits with the calculation of the melting curve of dense C/O plasmas under conditions relevant for white dwarf cores and provide analytic fits to implement this new melting curve in white dwarf models. While this work focuses on the liquid-solid phase boundary of dense two-component plasmas, a wider range of physical systems and phase boundaries are within the scope of the Clapeyron integration method, which had until now only been applied to simple model systems of neutral particles.

Finite jet determination of CR mappings

description: We prove the following finite jet determination result for CR mappings: Given a smooth generic submanifold M of C^N, N >= 2, which is essentially finite and of finite type at each of its points, for every point p on M there exists an integer l(p), depending upper-semicontinuously on p, such that for every smooth generic submanifold M' of C^N of the same dimension as M, if h_1 and h_2: (M,p)->M' are two germs of smooth finite CR mappings with the same l(p) jet at p, then necessarily their k-jets agree for all positive integers k. In the hypersurface case, this result provides several new unique jet determination properties for holomorphic mappings at the boundary in the real-analytic case; in particular, it provides the finite jet determination of arbitrary real-analytic CR mappings between real-analytic hypersurfaces in C^N of D'Angelo finite type. It also yields a new boundary version of H. Cartan's uniqueness theorem: if Omega and Omega' are two bounded domains in C^N with smooth real-analytic boundary, then there exists an integer k, depending only on the boundary of Omega, such that if H_1 and H_2: Omega -> Omega' are two proper holomorphic mappings extending smoothly up to the boundary of Omega near some point boundary point p and agreeing up to order k at p, then necessarily H_1=H_2.

Rapid growth in interconnection of solar photovoltaic and Type III or IV wind energy conversion sources to the transmission system is creating new challenges for protection engineers. Unlike synchronous resources, these new energy conversion sources connect to the grid with full or partial power electronic interfaces that are referred to as inverter-based resource (IBR). Protection challenges are introduced because the output current of an IBR facility is very different from a traditional rotating synchronous source facility during short circuit conditions. Current from a synchronous source is of high magnitude, uncontrolled and has well defined short circuit characteristic. However, the short circuit current of the IBR is of low magnitude, highly controlled and managed by using fast switching of power electronics devices dependent upon manufacturer specific control system design. Thus, an IBR has low-magnitude and non-universal short circuit current characteristic.

Traditional protection schemes, which largely rely upon high magnitude and high inductive nature of the short circuit current, may not provide reliable protection when operating on controlled current supplied by an IBR. Not taking into account the differing nature of IBR behavior, traditional line protection may incorrectly trip for some external short circuits or may not trip on other internal short circuits. This report describes protection challenges associated with interconnection of IBR facilities, suggests solutions, and documents lessons learned from the present limited experiences thus far. The goal of the report is to provide a resource to assist protection engineers in the successful integration of IBR to the electric power grid using multifunction relaying devices available in the marketplace.

Mirror Energy Differences and nuclear structure in 1$f_{7/2}$ nuclei
Creators: name: Brandolini, F.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: Experimental mirror energy differences (MED) for nuclei lying in the middle and the second part of $1f_{7/2}$ shell are compared with shell model calculations in the $1f_{7/2}$ and in the full $pf$ configuration spaces, as well as with CSM calculations. MED plots are fully consistent with the description which emerges from the interpretation of SM calculations: i.e. the band crossing of the gs band with high-$K$ bands in $A$=51 and 50 mirror pairs, as well as the seniority-3 quasi band-termination at $I^π$=19/2$^-$ in $A$=49. Rotational alignment effects are excluded, contrarily to what even recently proposed. Some inconsistencies, as well as definition improprieties, are pointed out in the topical literature.

description: General characteristics of methanol (CH3OH) maser emission are summarized. It is shown that methanol maser sources are concentrated in the spiral arms. Most of the methanol maser sources from the Perseus arm are associated with embedded stellar clusters and a considerable portion is situated close to compact HII regions. Almost 1/3 of the Perseus Arm sources lie at the edges of optically identified HII regions which means that massive star formation in the Perseus Arm is to a great extent triggered by local phenomena. A multiline analysis of the methanol masers allows us to determine the physical parameters in the regions of maser formation. Maser modelling shows that class II methanol masers can be pumped by the radiation of the warm dust as well as by free-free emission of a hypercompact region hcHII with a turnover frequency exceeding 100 GHz. Methanol masers of both classes can reside in the vicinity of hcHIIs. Modelling shows that periodic changes of maser fluxes can be reproduced by variations of the dust temperature by a few percent which may be caused by variations in the brightness of the central young stellar object reflecting the character of the accretion process. Sensitive observations have shown that the masers with low flux densities can still have considerable amplification factors. The analysis of class I maser surveys allows us to identify four distinct regimes that differ by the series of their brightest lines.

Cosmological evolution of the Fanaroff-Riley type II source population

description: By combining a model for the evolution of the radio luminosity of an individual source with the radio luminosity function, we perform a multi-dimensional Monte-Carlo simulation to investigate the cosmological evolution of the Fanaroff-Riley Class II radio galaxy population by generating large artificial samples. The properties of FRII sources are required to evolve with redshift in the artificial samples to fit the observations. Either the maximum jet age or the maximum density of the jet environment or both evolve with redshift. We also study the distribution of FRII source properties as a function of redshift. From currently available data we can not constrain the shape of the distribution of environment density or age, but jet power is found to follow a power-law distribution with an exponent of approximately -2. This power-law slope does not change with redshift out to z=0.6. We also find the distribution of the pressure in the lobes of FRII sources to evolve with redshift up to $z\sim1.2$.

The generalised scaling function: a systematic study

description: We describe a procedure for determining the generalised scaling functions $f_n(g)$ at all the values of the coupling constant. These functions describe the high spin contribution to the anomalous dimension of large twist operators (in the $sl(2)$ sector) of ${\cal N}=4$ SYM. At fixed $n$, $f_n(g)$ can be obtained by solving a linear integral equation (or, equivalently, a linear system with an infinite number of equations), whose inhomogeneous term only depends on the solutions at smaller $n$. In other words, the solution can be written in a recursive form and then explicitly worked out in the strong coupling regime. In this regime, we also emphasise the peculiar convergence of different quantities ('masses', related to the $f_n(g)$) to the unique mass gap of the $O(6)$ nonlinear sigma model and analyse the first next-to-leading order corrections.

Ordinal Pattern Dependence in the Context of Long-Range Dependence

description: Ordinal pattern dependence is a multivariate dependence measure based on the co-movement of two time series. In strong connection to ordinal time series analysis, the ordinal information is taken into account to derive robust results on the dependence between the two processes. This article deals with ordinal pattern dependence for long-range dependent time series including mixed cases of short- and long-range dependence. We investigate the limit distributions for estimators of ordinal pattern dependence. In doing so we point out the differences that arise for the underlying time series having different dependence structures. Depending on these assumptions, central and non-central limit theorems are proven. The limit distributions for the latter ones can be included in the class of multivariate Rosenblatt processes. Finally, a simulation study is provided to illustrate our theoretical findings.
One-Loop Effective Action in Orbifold Compactifications

description: We employ the covariant background formalism to derive generic expressions for the one-loop effective action in field theoretic orbifold compactifications. The contribution of each orbifold sector is given by the effective action of its fixed torus with a shifted mass matrix. We thus study in detail the computation of the heat kernel on tori. Our formalism manifestly separates UV sensitive (local) from UV-insensitive (nonlocal) renormalization. To exemplify our methods, we study the effective potential of 6d gauge theory as well as kinetic terms for gravitational moduli in 11d supergravity.
