title: Risk-informed Safety Margin Characterization for A Large Break Loss-of-coolant Accident of Nuclear Power Plants and Associated Peak Cladding Temperature Margin Evolution
Creators: name: Liang, T
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2019

description: The evaluation of methodology for large break loss of coolant accident (LBLOCA) licensing analysis involves two kinds of methodologies, namely deterministic methodology and risk-informed methodology. In the deterministic methodologies required for design-basis LBLOCA analysis, only epistemic or calculation uncertainty is addressed by either the conservative appendix K approach or the BEPU approach. Calculation uncertainty generally consists of physical model uncertainty and plant status uncertainty. In the risk-informed methodology, not only the epistemic uncertainty but also the aleatory are addressed by conducting a peak cladding temperature (PCT) load spectrum of LBLOCA. According to the existing 10 CFR50.46, LBLOCA is one of the most essential design-basis accidents (DBA) and a deterministic methodology shall be applied to perform LBLOCA analysis based on a so-called surrogate sequence. Without considering how low this sequence occurrence probability is, this surrogate sequence satisfies all the required licensing assumptions. However, in the to-be-issued 10 CFR 50.46a, the LBLOCA will be categorized as accidents beyond design basis and the peak cladding temperature margin shall be evaluated in a risk-informed manner. According to the risk-informed safety margin characterization methodology (RISMC), a process has been suggested to evaluate the risk-informed PCT margin. Following the RISMC methodology, a load spectrum of peak cladding temperature for LBLOCA has been generated for the Taiwan’s Maanshan Nuclear Power plant and 14 probabilistic significant sequences have been identified. It was observed in the load spectrum that the conditional PCT generally ascends with the descending sequence occurrence probability. With the load spectrum covering both aleatory and epistemic uncertainties, the risk-informed PCT margin can be evaluated by either expecting value estimation method or sequence probability coverage method. It was found that by comparing with the traditional deterministic methodology, the PCT margin evaluated by the RISMC methodology can be enlarged by 38.3-42.6 K. Besides, to have a cumulated occurrence probability over 99% in the load spectrum, the occurrence probability of the sequence referred is about 5.07*10-3, whereas for the traditional surrogate or licensing sequence generally applied in the deterministic methodology, the occurrence probability is only about 5.46*10-5. Finally, observed from the evolution of LBLOCA methodologies, the safety margin of a LBLOCA can be released from traditional Appendix K methodology by (i) relaxing plant bounding state assumption (DRHM), (ii) performing realistic LOCA analysis with statistical consideration of both model uncertainties and plant status uncertainties (BEPU), and (iii) relaxing licensing sequence assumption and evaluating the peak cladding temperature margin in a proper risk-informed manner (RISMC).

Modelling and application of spiral inductors in CMOS LC-VCOs
Creators: name: Molavi, Reza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Communication systems are essential components of our everyday lives and they facilitate accessing and using the ever-increasing amounts of data that have surrounded us. The main objective of this research is to present solutions at the device, circuit, and system levels for key passive and active circuit building blocks of communication systems, namely, monolithic passive inductors and inductor-based voltage-controlled oscillators (LC-VCOs). These components are almost ubiquitously used in integrated wireless and wireline communication transceivers, as well as other computing devices. Key contributions of this work are as follows: In the context of monolithic inductors, we have studied different inductor structures such as doubly-stacked inductors, vertical inductors, and coupled-rings. We have developed circuit models to accurately estimate their inductance and quality factor. The proposed analytical expressions provide designers with a reasonable estimate of their circuit performance and layout constraints. The result of proposed analyses is verified by the measurement results of test structures implemented in CMOS technology. Regarding LC-VCOs, we have studied the effect of large signal oscillations on such VCOs by developing a mathematical model to solve the non-linear differential equation governing the LC tank circuit. The study shows that the VCO frequency and the amplitude of higher order harmonics are functions of circuit parameters such as the C-V characteristics of the varactor and the oscillation amplitude. Also, a low- power technique to boost the output amplitude of push-push VCOs is introduced. Measurement results of a proof-of-concept prototype test chip in 90-nm CMOS confirm the usefulness of the proposed technique. Finally, at the system level, we present an analytical model to study the effect of coupling between adjacent LC-VCOs closely integrated on the same chip. This is usually the case in high-speed wireline transceivers such as those used in serial links. The proposed model explains the behavior of spurious sidebands as observed in the frequency spectrum of closely-running adjacent links. A redundant frequency mapping scheme is proposed that significantly reduces this coupling effect. Measurement results of a highly packable clock synthesizer in a 65-nm CMOS confirm the validity of the analytical model and the effectiveness of the proposed mapping technique.

description: Abstract

This study aims to shift music's role in arts and culture education at IAIN Manado State Islamic Institute, Indonesia from didactic aspects to fostering creativity and interdisciplinary scholarship. The research investigates the integration of soundscape media to enhance education quality. The motivation to incorporate musical elements into the learning process is derived from three hierarchical phenomena. First, ontologically, music is often perceived merely as entertainment. Second, epistemologically, it is confined to practical learning designs. Third, axiologically, it is viewed as commercialized media. This study seeks to redefine these perceptions by employing the ASSURE model for instructional design. This model involves analyzing learner characteristics, setting specific objectives, selecting appropriate media, utilizing these materials in classroom activities, encouraging active learner participation, and evaluating the approach's effectiveness. Quantitative methods measure the impact of soundscape media on student learning. Results indicate significant improvements in student engagement, environmental awareness, sensory experiences, analytical skills, and overall learning quality. The implementation of soundscape media facilitates deeper understanding, reduces anxiety, and enhances creativity and empathy among students. The findings support the potential of soundscape media as a transformative educational tool, providing a more engaging, enjoyable, and effective learning experience, thereby fostering holistic development in students.

description: Obtaining the set of cosmological parameters consistent with observational data is an important exercise in current cosmological research. It involves finding the global maximum of the likelihood function in the multi-dimensional parameter space. Currently sampling based methods, which are in general stochastic in nature, like Markov-Chain Monte Carlo(MCMC), are being commonly used for parameter estimation. The beauty of stochastic methods is that the computational cost grows, at the most, linearly in place of exponentially (as in grid based approaches) with the dimensionality of the search space. MCMC methods sample the full joint probability distribution (posterior) from which one and two dimensional probability distributions, best fit (average) values of parameters and then error bars can be computed. In the present work we demonstrate the application of another stochastic method, named Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), that is widely used in the field of engineering and artificial intelligence, for cosmological parameter estimation from WMAP seven years data. We find that there is a good agreement between the values of the best fit parameters obtained from PSO and publicly available code COSMOMC. However, there is a slight disagreement between error bars mainly due to the fact that errors are computed differently in PSO. Apart from presenting the results of our exercise, we also discuss the merits of PSO and explain its usefulness in more extensive search in higher dimensional parameter space.

Specifically we focus on the experimentally available mixture of ${}^6$Li and ${}^{40}$K atoms. In this regime spin polarons, i.e., dressed minority atoms, form. We consider the spectral function for the minority atoms, from which the lifetime and the effective mass of the spin polaron can be determined. Moreover, we predict the radio-frequency (RF) spectrum and the momentum distribution for the spin polarons for experiments with ${}^6$Li and ${}^{40}$K atoms. Subsequently we study the relaxation of the motion of the spin polaron due to spin drag.

description: Let X=(x,y). Previously we have found all rational solutions of the 2-dimensional projective translation equation, or PrTE, (1-z)f(X)=f(f(Xz)(1-z)/z); here f(X)=(u(x,y),v(x,y)) is a pair of two (real or complex) functions. Solutions of this functional equation are called projective flows. A vector field of a rational flow is a pair of 2-homogenic rational functions. On the other hand, only special pairs of 2-homogenic rational functions give rise to rational flows. In this paper we are interested in all non-singular (satisfying the boundary condition) and unramified (without branching points, i.e. single-valued functions in C^2\{union of curves}) projective flows whose vector field is still rational. We prove that, up to conjugation with 1-homogenic birational plane transformation, these are of 6 types: 1) the identity flow; 2) one flow for each non-negative integer N - these flows are rational of level N; 3) the level 1 exponential flow, which is also conjugate to the level 1 tangent flow; 4) the level 3 flow expressable in terms of Dixonian (equianharmonic) elliptic functions; 5) the level 4 flow expressable in terms of lemniscatic elliptic functions; 6) the level 6 flow expressable in terms of Dixonian elliptic functions again. This reveals another aspect of the PrTE: in the latter four cases this equation is equivalent and provides a uniform framework to addition formulas for exponential, tangent, or special elliptic functions (also addition formulas for polynomials and the logarithm, though the latter appears only in branched flows). Moreover, the PrTE turns out to have a connection with Polya-Eggenberger urn models. Another purpose of this study is expository, and we provide the list of open problems and directions in the theory of PrTE; for example, we define the notion of quasi-rational projective flows which includes curves of arbitrary genus.

description: We present new classical generalized Jacobi elliptic one monopole - antimonopole pair (MAP) solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with the Higgs field in the adjoint representation. These generalized 1-MAP solutions are solved with $θ$-winding number $m$=1 and $ϕ$-winding number $n$=1, 2, 3, ... 6. Similar to the generalized Jacobi elliptic one monopole solutions, these generalized 1-MAP solutions are solved by generalizing the large distance behaviour of the solutions to the Jacobi elliptic functions and solving the second order equations of motion numerically when the Higgs potential is vanishing ($λ$=0) and non vanishing ($λ$=1). These generalized 1-MAP solutions possess total energies that are comparable to the total energy of the standard 1-MAP solution with winding number $m$=1. However these total energies are significantly lower than the total energy of the standard 1-MAP solution with winding number $m$=2. All these new generalized solutions are regular numerical finite energy non-BPS solutions of the Yang-Mills-Higgs field theory.

description: Three experiments explored whether Need for Cognition (NFC) affects the memory benefits associated with drawing, generating, and producing while studying. In three experiments, undergraduate students studied a list of words while implementing a designated encoding strategy, followed by a free recall test. Experiment 1 had participants study half of the words by drawing and the other half by writing. In Experiment 2, participants generated half of the words from a definition and typed the other half. Finally, in Experiment 3, participants read half of the words aloud while studying, and read the remaining words silently. The three experiments replicated the memory benefits associated with the drawing effect, generation effect, and production effect (i.e., better recall from the more elaborative strategy), but NFC did not significantly predict the magnitude of these memory benefits or overall recall performance. These findings suggest that these encoding strategies may aid memory regardless of NFC level.

description: We study one-dimensional, interacting, gapped fermionic systems described by variants of the Peierls-Hubbard model and characterize their phases via a topological invariant constructed out of their Green's functions. We demonstrate that the existence of topologically protected, zero-energy states at the boundaries of these systems can be tied to the values of their topological invariant, just like when working with the conventional, noninteracting topological insulators. We use a combination of analytical methods and the numerical density matrix renormalization group method to calculate the values of the topological invariant throughout the phase diagrams of these systems, thus deducing when topologically protected boundary states are present. We are also able to study topological states in spin systems because, deep in the Mott insulating regime, these fermionic systems reduce to spin chains. In this way, we associate the zero-energy states at the end of an antiferromagnetic spin-one Heisenberg chain with the topological invariant 2.

description: In this paper we study the evolution of the dark energy parameter within the scope of a spatially homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) model filled with barotropic fluid and dark energy by revisiting the recent results (Amirhashchi et al. in Chin. Phys. Lett. 28:039801, 2011a). To prevail the deterministic solution we select the scale factor $a(t) = \sqrt{t^{n}e^{t}}$ which generates a time-dependent deceleration parameter (DP), representing a model which generates a transition of the universe from the early decelerating phase to the recent accelerating phase. We consider the two cases of an interacting and non-interacting two-fluid (barotropic and dark energy) scenario and obtained general results. The cosmic jerk parameter in our derived model is also found to be in good agreement with the recent data of astrophysical observations under the suitable condition. The physical aspects of the models and the stability of the corresponding solutions are also discussed.

description: In this paper we study the non-Gaussian features of the primordial fluctuations in loop quantum cosmology with the inverse volume corrections. The detailed analysis is performed in the single field slow-roll inflationary models. However, our results reflect the universal characteristics of bispectrum in loop quantum cosmology. The main corrections to the scalar bispectrum come from two aspects: one is the modifications to the standard Bunch-Davies vacuum, the other is the corrections to the background dependent variables, such as slow-roll parameters. Our calculations show that the loop quantum corrections make $f_{\rm NL}$ of the inflationary models increase 0.1%. Moreover, we find that two new shapes arise, namely $\mathcal F_{1}$ and $\mathcal F_{2}$. The former gives a unique loop quantum feature which is less correlated with the local, equilateral and single types, while the latter is highly correlated with the local one.

Candidacy Eligibility Criteria and Party Unity

description: Extant research suggests that candidate selection methods can be consequential for party unity in legislative voting. Yet thus far, only variations in the selectorate and the degree of centralization have been examined. This article argues that Candidacy Eligibility Criteria (CEC), too, have implications for party unity. I theorize that with stricter formal requirements, parties avoid adverse selection and ensure the nomination of committed candidates. By using roll-call vote data from 16 industrial democracies, candidate surveys and an original data set consisting of nearly 500 historical party constitutions, I show that parties demanding prior membership and nudging aspirants to maintain networks within the party tend to be more unified in parliamentary voting. Moreover, their candidates, too, express greater loyalty when compared with parties without formal CEC. Thus, this article contributes to the literatures on party unity and on candidate selection by showing how certain party rules, hitherto neglected, affect party unity.

description: We discuss a fine-tuning of rather generic three dimensional higher-curvature gravity actions that leads to gauge symmetry enhancement at the linearized level via partial masslessness. Requiring this gauge symmetry to be present also non-linearly reduces such actions to conformal Chern-Simons gravity. We perform a canonical analysis of this theory and construct the gauge generators and associated charges. We provide and classify admissible boundary conditions. The boundary conditions on the conformal equivalence class of the metric render one chirality of the partially massless Weyl gravitons normalizable and the remaining one non-normalizable. There are three choices - trivial, fixed or free - for the Weyl factors of the bulk metric and of the boundary metric. This proliferation of boundary conditions leads to various physically distinct scenarios of holography that we study in detail, extending considerably the discussion initiated in 1106.6299. In particular, the dual CFT may contain an additional scalar field with or without background charge, depending on the choices above.

Landscape change in the Nile Delta during the fourth millennium BC: a new perspective on the Egyptian Predynastic and Protodynastic periods

description: The role environmental change may have played at the dawn of Egyptian history has been overlooked in comparison with other periods. Natural landscape changes taking place in the Nile Delta are argued here to have been a facilitating factor allowing, and possibly stimulating, socioeconomic changes leading to the ‘Lower Egyptian – Naqada Transition’ (LE-NT, c. 3350 BC). In this context, the LE-NT may be understood in terms of regional elites using newly agrarian delta lands as an agricultural resource and trade route, with the emerging capital, Memphis, ideally situated. We argue (almost counter-intuitively) that a natural reduction in overall landscape productivity led to agricultural intensification through a positive feedback loop. This may have laid the foundations for the emergence of a more unified Egyptian state beginning c. 3100 BC. Through this analysis, we argue for the incorporation of the environment as an integral component of change narratives of Predynastic Egypt.
On the Bohnenblust-Hille inequality and a variant of Littlewood's 4/3 inequality

description: The search for sharp constants for inequalities of the type Littlewood's 4/3 and Bohnenblust-Hille, besides its pure mathematical interest, has shown unexpected applications in many different fields, such as Analytic Number Theory, Quantum Information Theory, or (for instance) in deep results on the $n$-dimensional Bohr radius. The recent estimates obtained for the multilinear Bohnenblust-Hille inequality (in the case of real scalars) have been recently used, as a crucial step, by A. Montanaro in order to solve problems in the theory of quantum XOR games. Here, among other results, we obtain new upper bounds for the Bohnenblust-Hille constants in the case of complex scalars. For bilinear forms, we obtain the optimal constants of variants of Littlewood's 4/3 inequality (in the case of real scalars) when the exponent 4/3 is replaced by any $r\geq4/3.$ As a consequence of our estimates we show that the optimal constants for the real case are always strictly greater than the constants for the complex case.

description: Exploration of the ancient transcontinental port of Berenice has enabled us to reveal some of the cultural roots of today’s societal bond with ‘commensals’; this bond included emotional ties with domesticated animals. The ‘pet cemetery’ at the port functioned from the mid-1st to mid-2nd century AD. The 585 unearthed burials were dominated by cats, dogs and two species of macaques. At least some of these animals came from outside the African continent. The sex and age profiles of the cats corresponded to those recorded in contemporary urban populations. Among the animals buried at Berenice there featured numerous pathological lesions and diseases that would have prevented unaccompanied survival. Although dogs were mainly of a light, Spitz-type, there was also a taller variant, as well as toy-dogs. The type of burial and furnishings point to the transposition of funerary customs also to pets.

Spectra of units for periodic ring spectra and group completion of graded E-infinity spaces

description: We construct a new spectrum of units for a commutative symmetric ring spectrum that detects the difference between a periodic ring spectrum and its connective cover. It is augmented over the sphere spectrum. The homotopy cofiber of its augmentation map is a non-connected delooping of the usual spectrum of units whose bottom homotopy group detects periodicity. Our approach builds on the graded variant of E-infinity spaces introduced in joint work with Christian Schlichtkrull. We construct a group completion model structure for graded E-infinity spaces and use it to exhibit our spectrum of units functor as right adjoint on the level of homotopy categories. The resulting group completion functor is an essential tool for studying ring spectra with graded logarithmic structures.

Near infrared spectroscopy : novel signal processing methods and applications
Creators: name: Molavi, Behnam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Oxygen is a critical component in living organisms and its concentration in tissue is an important parameter indicative of tissue metabolism, level of activity and health condition. As a result, measuring oxygen concentration in the tissue is essential in many clinical and research applications. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non invasive method of measuring tissue oxygenation using diffusion of light in the tissue. NIRS as a safe, non invasive and low cost monitoring technology has been used in a wide range of applications including monitoring muscle and brain oxygenation, brain computer interface and rehabilitation. The motivation for this thesis has been to develop new signal processing methods and to investigate potential new applications for NIRS. One major characteristic of NIRS is its sensitivity to movement of the target tissue during the measurement. The effects of movements, known as motion artifacts, have limited clinical applications of NIRS in ambulant patients as well as experimental applications of NIRS monitoring in areas such as exercise science and sports medicine. In this thesis, we present a new method of reducing the effect of motion artifacts on NIRS signal using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). One of the areas of application which can significantly benefit from reduction of motion artifacts is NIRS-based wearable sensors. In particular, a potential and unexplored application of NIRS is providing a monitoring method for people with bladder control problems, which occurs in a variety of conditions including spinal cord injury and stroke. We investigate the application of NIRS for detection of bladder filling to capacity using a wearable wireless monitoring sensor which can be used to warn the subject once the bladder content reaches a predefined percentage of the full capacity. NIRS can be used as a functional neuroimaging method to identify brain activations during practice of a motor/cognitive task. One important question in this field is how the activated brain areas are interconnected. We thus investigate the use of phase information in NIRS channels to identify cortical connections and in particular, show the applicability of this approach in identifying language network in human infants.
