Metal leaching and acid rock drainage innovation and the factors to be addressed
Creators: name: Price, W. A.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Lots of hard work now and in the future is required to address metal leaching and acid rock drainage (ML/ARD) issues and sustain environmentally sound mining practices. Innovation has and will continue to have a big part to play in this. This presentation reviews some of the many innovations from the 1990s and the factors that need to be addressed in future innovation. Comprehensive understanding of both the scientific and practical aspects is needed to improve ML/ARD practices. This includes limited long-term operating experience, need to enable maintenance, potentially high costs, being proactive, many changing properties and processes, and the large multi-sector information requirements.

description: We study the influence of the reheating and equality transitions on superhorizon density perturbations and gravitational waves. Recent criticisms of the `standard result' for large-scale perturbations in inflationary cosmology are rectified. The claim that the `conservation law' for the amplitude of superhorizon modes was empty is shown to be wrong. For sharp transitions, i.e. the pressure jumps, we rederive the Deruelle-Mukhanov junction conditions. For a smooth transition we correct a result obtained by Grishchuk recently. We show that the junction conditions are not crucial, because the pressure is continuous during the reheating transition. The problem occurred, because the perturbed metric was not evolved correctly through the smooth reheating transition. Finally, we derive the `standard result' within Grishchuks's smooth (reheating) transition.

description: A class of models for large-scale evolution and mass extinctions is presented. These models incorporate environmental changes on all scales, from influences on a single species to global effects. This is a step towards a unified picture of mass extinctions, which enables one to study coevolutionary effects and external abiotic influences with the same means. The generic features of such models are studied in a simple version, in which all environmental changes are generated at random and without feedback from other parts of the system.

description: The relaxation kinetics of cavity polaritons by scattering with thermal acoustic phonons is studied within the rate equation approximation. Numerical results show that a suppression of the bottleneck of lower polariton states occurs at high polariton densities. We have found that the long decay time of the photon-like polaritons, the thin width of the embedded quantum wells and the small value of exciton-cavity detuning are favorable for the suppression of the bottleneck.

Cosmological and Black Hole Horizon Fluctuations

description: The quantum fluctuations of horizons in Robertson-Walker universes and in the Schwarzschild spacetime are discussed. The source of the metric fluctuations is taken to be quantum linear perturbations of the gravitational field. Lightcone fluctuations arise when the retarded Green's function for a massless field is averaged over these metric fluctuations. This averaging replaces the delta-function on the classical lightcone with a Gaussian function, the width of which is a measure of the scale of the lightcone fluctuations. Horizon fluctuations are taken to be measured in the frame of a geodesic observer falling through the horizon. In the case of an expanding universe, this is a comoving observer either entering or leaving the horizon of another observer. In the black hole case, we take this observer to be one who falls freely from rest at infinity. We find that cosmological horizon fluctuations are typically characterized by the Planck length. However, black hole horizon fluctuations in this model are much smaller than Planck dimensions for black holes whose mass exceeds the Planck mass. Furthermore, we find black hole horizon fluctuations which are sufficiently small as not to invalidate the semiclassical derivation of the Hawking process.

Uncloneable Quantum Encryption via Oracles

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantum information is well-known to achieve cryptographic feats that are unattainable using classical information alone. Here, we add to this repertoire by introducing a new cryptographic functionality called uncloneable encryption. This functionality allows the encryption of a classical message such that two collaborating but isolated adversaries are prevented from simultaneously recovering the message, even when the encryption key is revealed. Clearly, such functionality is unattainable using classical information alone. We formally define uncloneable encryption, and show how to achieve it using Wiesner's conjugate coding, combined with a quantum-secure pseudorandom function (qPRF). Modelling the qPRF as a quantum random oracle, we show security by adapting techniques from the quantum one-way-to-hiding lemma, as well as using bounds from quantum monogamy-of-entanglement games.

description: The microscopic spectral correlators of the Dirac operator in three-dimensional Yang-Mills theory coupled to fundamental fermions and with three or more colours are derived from the supersymmetric formulation of partially quenched effective Lagrangians. The flavour supersymmetry breaking patterns are appropriately identified and used to calculate the corresponding finite volume partition functions from Itzykson-Zuber type integrals over supersymmetric cosets. New and simple determinant expressions for the spectral correlators in the mesoscopic scaling region are thereby found. The microscopic spectrum derived from the effective finite volume partition function of three-dimensional QCD agrees with earlier results based on the unitary ensemble of random matrix theory and extends the corresponding calculations for QCD in four dimensions.

description: Basis sets of atomic orbitals are very efficient for density functional calculations but lack a systematic variational convergence. We present a variational method to optimize numerical atomic orbitals using a single parameter to control their range. The efficiency of the basis generation scheme is tested and compared with other schemes for multiple zeta basis sets. The scheme shows to be comparable in quality to other widely used schemes albeit offering better performance for linear-scaling computations.

description: Resilience planning has emerged as a recently popularized phenomenon in the field of urban planning, having the potential to reduce urban disaster risk while also enhancing disaster recovery and preparedness. Current urban planning literatures fail to consider resilience planning as a continuous process which integrates conditions of the pre- and post-disaster landscape. Planners practice resilience through phases, organizing after a disaster to plan and rebuild, largely ignoring the time before the disaster despite its potential for ensuring long-term community resilience. In a context where disasters are becoming more frequent, this time before need be considered when planning for resilience. This study attempts to reframe resilience in the field of urban planning by analyzing how resilience is practiced on the ground at the community level. This study argues that resilience planning needs to consider dynamics across temporal space by studying the time in between disasters. In New York City, this refers to the near decade separating Hurricane Sandy and COVID-19. This framework is applied and informed by a case study analysis in Rockaway, New York City, a community that has been disproportionately impacted by both Hurricane Sandy and COVID-19. The methods in this study include a series of qualitative semi-structured interviews with city agency representatives and community organizers. Findings conclude that in Rockaway, the practice and implementation of resilience planning within the last decade has contributed to issues of distrust, trauma, and burnout, negatively impacting COVID-19 recovery thus far. These findings emphasize the need for resilience to be practiced continuously as the recontextualization of everyday risk can help reduce community distrust, trauma, and burnout that have emerged as a result of the resilience planning cycle.
Considering technology readiness levels in advancing mine water treatment technologies

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The sector of mine water treatment is continuously evolving with new technologies emerging and older technologies being innovated. However, the maturation of technologies can sometimes be delayed due to uncertainty of being able to obtain permits to use the new technology. In this article, we explore how the use of technology readiness levels (TRLs) could provide clarity to advance the implementation of passive, semi-passive, or enhanced passive water treatment technologies in the mining sector. This article is written within the context of newly released Interim Technical Guidance documents for TRLs and associated Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) of both source control measures and effluent water treatment systems for major mines in the province of British Columbia (BC).

description: The Dirac equation in Riemann-Cartan spacetimes with torsion is reconsidered. As is well-known, only the axial covector torsion $A$, a one-form, couples to massive Dirac fields. Using diagrammatic techniques, we show that besides the familiar Riemannian term only the Pontrjagin type four-form $dA\wedge dA$ does arise additionally in the chiral anomaly, but not the Nieh-Yan term $d ^* A$, as has been claimed recently. Implications for cosmic strings in Einstein-Cartan theory as well as for Ashtekar's canonical approach to quantum gravity are discussed.

description: Neighborhood life-circle planning is a relatively new term emerging in China since the 2010s. With visions to enhance walkability and provide adequate facilities that meet residents’ daily demand, the implementation of neighborhood life-circle planning is still in its experimental phases. From a global perspective, similar concepts of planning residential areas in smaller units are not uncommon. This paper examines four residential neighborhood planning models: Neighborhood Unit Plan, planning of life zones in South Korea, Traditional Neighborhood Development, and China's neighborhood life-circle planning. Despite major differences in density and building typology, each planning model approaches to address certain perceived urban problems. Four case studies are selected to represent each model respectively. The comparison of the case studies mainly focuses on the physical built environment, including the patterns of the street network, building blocks, parks and open spaces, and community facilities. The analysis reveals how the planning models are applied in the built-up cases with highlighted gestures as well as tradeoffs during implementation. With more progress to encourage public input during the planning procedures, application of urban data to analyze the nuanced daily needs, and innovations in management mechanisms to encourage facility sharing, it is hoped that neighborhood life-circle planning in China could unleash more opportunities in the future.

description: Multiplicity of phase states within frequency locked bands in periodically forced oscillatory systems may give rise to front structures separating states with different phases. A new front instability is found within bands where $ω_{forcing}/ω_{system}=2n$ ($n>1$). Stationary fronts shifting the oscillation phase by $π$ lose stability below a critical forcing strength and decompose into $n$ traveling fronts each shifting the phase by $π/n$. The instability designates a transition from stationary two-phase patterns to traveling $n$-phase patterns.

The participants were 162 homeless young women, including childfree women, young mothers enrolled at a transitional living Rights of Passage program (12-18 months), and young mothers in crisis enrolled in a 30-day Mother and Child Crisis program. Past life experiences were identified via the Effort to Outcome (ETO) online software database maintained by Covenant House New York. Rates of psychopathology were measured using the IIP (interpersonal problems), PHQ-9 (depression), GAD-7 (anxiety), PSS (parental stress) while rates of positive traits were measured using the SCS (self-compassion), SCBCS (compassion toward others), and PGIS (motivation to change). The results indicated that all participants, regardless of group affiliation, had similar life experiences, though childfree women were more likely to have a history of abandonment, physical abuse, and previous incidents of homelessness. Additionally, presence of abuse history was positively associated with development of psychopathology. As expected, history of sexual abuse was negatively associated with self-compassion, but it was positively associated with compassion toward others. Mothers at the Mother and Child Crisis program had greater rates of self-compassion than mothers at the Rights of Passage program, and childfree women were more likely than the mothers to be compassionate toward others. Mothers at the Mother and Child Crisis program were also more likely to be compassionate toward others than mothers at the Rights of Passage program. Childfree women, however, were more likely to be depressed than mothers at the Mother and Child Crisis program.

description: Applying the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations, transitions between metastable states of a superconducting ring are investigated in the presence of an external magnetic field. It is shown that if the ring exhibits several metastable states at a particular magnetic field, the transition from one metastable state to another one is governed by both the relaxation time of the absolute value of the order parameter tau_{|psi|} and the relaxation time of the phase of the order parameter tau_{phi}. We found that the larger the ratio tau_{|psi|}tau_{phi} the closer the final state will be to the absolute minimum of the free energy, i.e. the thermodynamic equilibrium. The transition to the final state occurs through a subsequent set of single phase slips at a particular point along the ring.

Resigned Urbanization: Migration, Dwelling, and Freedom in Contemporary China

subject: Immigrants--Housing

description: In the media, rural migrants are often seen as a homogeneous social group, displaced from hometowns, economically marginalized, and deprived of urban citizenship. Anything but freedom characterizes their subjectivities. In recent years, however, migrant workers have played a leading role in urbanizing small towns and cities. My two-year ethnographic research closely documents the phenomenon of “double dwelling,” in which rural migrants settle into the rental housing of Beijing’s urban villages, on the one hand, but own empty houses in rural villages and counties, on the other. I employ the idea of dwelling to conceptualize the interrelationship between identity and place as well as existence and space. Rather than being static, floating, or unfinished, double dwelling is dynamic, restricted by the household registration (hukou) division but also continually remaking the rural-urban divide. It is rooted in various sites, neither here nor there but always here and there. Migrant workers create and search for the nature of dwelling. To doubly dwell is to build and rebuild identities and existence.
      The dissertation engages with the study of class politics by reconsidering the role of housing in class formation. On the one hand, home-making practices bring new opportunities to migrant workers. While in Beijing, the housing conditions of migrant workers suggest a common ground on which a new social class of migrant tenants may form. Also, “self-help urbanization” from below is marked by significant migrant homeownership. Thus, holding an urban hukou is not the only criterion for becoming urban. On the other hand, the dynamics of bottom-up urbanization and state-led urban policies reconstruct double dwelling. The government-directed urbanization programs imply a specific imaginary of urban lives that conflicts with migrants’ claim to the city. Urban policies may hold the process of proletarianization back.
      Lastly, I examine how the divergent even seemingly contradictory developments of class politics and urbanization are embodied in the freedom and resignation of migrant workers. A dialectical relationship between freedom and resignation, I argue, mirrors the tension between strong economic growth and tightening political control in China. I explore this relationship in migrants’ extended identities in the space of suspension, in their endeavor to build a community on bandit land, in the furnished but empty houses, in the reconciliation between migrant desire and the institutional barriers, and, lastly, in migrant aspirations for living at the center of the country yet in conflict with the state’s population control. Becoming urban is a process in which migrant workers come to terms with the bitter reality of society through strength and freedom.
Effective Nonlocal Euclidean Gravity

description: A nonlocal form of the effective gravitational action could cure the unboundedness of euclidean gravity with Einstein action. On sub-horizon length scales the modified gravitational field equations seem compatible with all present tests of general relativity and post-Newtonian gravity. They induce a difference in the effective Newton's constant between regions of space with vanishing or nonvanishing curvature scalar (or Ricci tensor). In cosmology they may lead to a value $Ω<1$ for the critical density after inflation. The simplest model considered here appears to be in conflict with nucleosynthesis, but generalizations consistent with all cosmological observations seem conceivable.

description: This thesis focuses on an important aspect of protein functionality – protein-protein interactions (PPI). Three physical chemistry techniques for or derived from protein-protein interaction investigation are discussed. First, in Chapter 2, we demonstrate a new fluorescent imaging technique that creates high-order nonlinear signals by harnessing the frustrated fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) – energy transfer between certain proteins close in proximity which is commonly used in PPI studies. In Chapter 3, we combine fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), two most commonly used approaches to monitor protein-protein interactions in vivo, to create a novel hybrid strategy, bioluminescence assisted switching and fluorescence imaging (BASFI), which integrates the advantages of FRET and BRET. We demonstrate BASFI with Dronpa-RLuc8 fusion constructs and drug-inducible intermolecular FKBP-FRB protein-protein interactions in live cells with high sensitivity, resolution, and specificity. Finally, in Chapter 4, we propose a systematic free energy perturbation (FEP) protocol to computationally calculate the binding affinities between proteins. We demonstrate our protocol with the gp120 envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1 and three broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) of the VRC01 class and analyze antibody residues’ contributions to the binding which further provides insights for antibody design.
On McMullen's and other inequalities for the Thurston norm of link complements

description: In a recent paper, McMullen showed an inequality between the Thurston norm and the Alexander norm of a 3-manifold. This generalizes the well-known fact that twice the genus of a knot is bounded from below by the degree of the Alexander polynomial. We extend the Bennequin inequality for links to an inequality for all points of the Thurston norm, if the manifold is a link complement. We compare these two inequalities on two classes of closed braids. In an additional section we discuss a conjectured inequality due to Morton for certain points of the Thurston norm. We prove Morton's conjecture for closed 3-braids.

description: The purpose of this thesis was to understand the roles of shared learning and cooperation among local and regional levels of governance in building or enhancing resilience to disturbances of climate change. In seeking to understand the roles shared learning and cooperation have in resilience building, I analyzed planning strategies being promoted or taken in the Charleston, South Carolina region. Specifically, I examined seven planning documents put forth by local and regional jurisdictions and interviewed five planning professionals working at local and regional levels to gauge the degree to which shared learning and cooperation operate in building and enhancing this region's resilience.

description: Classically, a single weight on an interval of the real line leads to moments, orthogonal polynomials and tridiagonal matrices. Appropriately deforming this weight with times t=(t_1,t_2,...), leads to the standard Toda lattice and tau-functions, expressed as Hermitian matrix integrals. This paper is concerned with a sequence of t-perturbed weights, rather than one single weight. This sequence leads to moments, polynomials and a (fuller) matrix evolving according to the discrete KP-hierarchy. The associated tau-functions have integral, as well as vertex operator representations. Among the examples considered, we mention: nested Calogero-Moser systems, concatenated solitons and m-periodic sequences of weights. The latter lead to 2m+1-band matrices and generalized orthogonal polynomials, also arising in the context of a Riemann-Hilbert problem. We show the Riemann-Hilbert factorization is tantamount to the factorization of the moment matrix into the product of a lower- times upper-triangular matrix.

description: We show that in a large class of equations, solitons formed from generic initial conditions do not have infinitely long exponential tails, but are truncated by a region of Gaussian decay. This phenomenon makes it possible to treat solitons as localized, individual objects. For the case of the KdV equation, we show how the Gaussian decay emerges in the inverse scattering formalism.
