description: Η εργασία αυτή είχε στόχο την παρουσίαση, ανάλυση και ερμηνεία των δεδομένων από την ανασκαφή του οικισμού της πρώιμης εποχής του Χαλκού στον Προσκυνά Φθιώτιδας. Αποκαλύφθηκε σημαντικό τμήμα του οικισμού και έγιναν παρατηρήσεις που αφορούν στις χωροοργανωτικές πρακτικές των κατοίκων. Η κοινότητα διαμόρφωσε τον χώρο του οικισμού με την κατασκευή κτηρίων και ποικίλων αρχιτεκτονικών κατασκευών. Τα κτήρια θεωρήθηκαν οι κύριοι χώροι κατοίκησης. Οι ποικίλες κατασκευές βρίσκονται στον κοινοτικό χώρο του οικισμού, κατασκευάστηκαν από όλη την κοινότητα και διαμόρφωσαν την συλλογική τους ταυτότητα. Η μελέτη της κεραμικής αποσκοπούσε στον προσδιορισμό των τεχνολογικών παραδόσεων της κοινότητας σχετικά με την παραγωγή κεραμικών αγγείων και με τις κοινωνικές πρακτικές κατανάλωσης. Επίσης, η εξέταση της κατανομής των αγγείων στους χώρους του οικισμού συνέβαλε στον προσδιορισμό των κοινωνικών πρακτικών κατανάλωσή τους. Επομένως, η εξέταση των αγγείων στο πλαίσιο των καταναλωτικών πρακτικώς συνέβαλε στην κατανόηση των κοινωνικών δράσεων των κατοίκων του οικισμού και της σημασίας τους
description: The aims of the present study consist of the presentation, analysis and interpretation of the data found at the early Helladic settlement in Proskymas Phthiotidas. Significant part of the settlement of space were attempted. The shape of the settlement was given by the community itself with buildings and various architectural structures. The buildings were assumed as the main inhabitant areas. The diverse architectural structures were set in the communal space of the settlement, were constructed from the communal and defined their collective identity. The study of the ceramic vessels targeted to approach the community's technological traditions related to the vessels production and social consuming practices. Furthermore, the examination carried out on the distribution of vessels in the distinctive parts of the settlement to the determination of the actual practices of the consumption. Subsequently, the study of ceramic vessels in the context of consuming practices contributed to the understunding of inhabitants social actions and their consequences to cohesion and stability of social group

description: In this paper, we present a novel multi-channel speech extraction system to simultaneously extract multiple clean individual sources from a mixture in noisy and reverberant environments. The proposed method is built on an improved multi-channel time-domain speech separation network which employs speaker embeddings to identify and extract multiple targets without label permutation ambiguity. To efficiently inform the speaker information to the extraction model, we propose a new speaker conditioning mechanism by designing an additional speaker branch for receiving external speaker embeddings. Experiments on 2-channel WHAMR! data show that the proposed system improves by 9% relative the source separation performance over a strong multi-channel baseline, and it increases the speech recognition accuracy by more than 16% relative over the same baseline.

description: The efficiency of converting two-species fermionic atoms into bosonic molecules is investigated in terms of mean-field Lagrangian density. We find that the STIRAP technique aided by Feshbach resonance is more effective than the bare Fechbach resonance for $^6$Li atoms rather than $^{40}$K atoms. We also make general consideration on the symmetry and its relevant conservation law, which enable us to introduce a natural definition of adiabatic fidelity for CPT state. The calculated values of the fidelity then provide an interpretation on why the conversion efficiencies for $^{40}$K and $^6$Li are distinctly different.

description: Generalizing prior work of P. W. Anderson and E. R. Huggins, we show that a "detailed Josephson-Anderson relation" holds for drag on a finite body held at rest in a classical incompressible fluid flowing with velocity ${\bf V}.$ The relation asserts an exact equality between the instantaneous power consumption by the drag, $-{\bf F}\cdot{\bf V},$ and the vorticity flux across the potential mass current, $-(1/2)\int dJ\int ε_{ijk}Σ_{ij}\,d\ell_k.$ Here $Σ_{ij}$ is the flux in the $i$th coordinate direction of the conserved $j$th component of vorticity and the line-integrals over $\ell$ are taken along streamlines of the potential flow solution ${\bf u}_ϕ=\nablaϕ$ of the ideal Euler equation, carrying mass flux $dJ=ρ\,{\bf u}_ϕ\cdot d{\bf A}.$ The results generalize the theories of M. J. Lighthill for flow past a body and, in particular, the steady-state relation $(1/2)ε_{ijk}\langleΣ_{jk}\rangle =\partial_i\langle h\rangle,$ where $h=p+(1/2)|{\bf u}|^2$ is the generalized enthalpy or total pressure, extends Lighthill's theory of vorticity generation at solid walls into the interior of the flow. We use these results to explain drag on the body in terms of vortex dynamics, unifying the theories for classical fluids and for quantum superfluids. The results offer a new solution to the "D'Alembert paradox" at infinite Reynolds numbers and imply the necessary conditions for turbulent drag reduction.

description: Recently, out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization has attracted attention to the robustness and generalization ability of deep learning based models, and accordingly, many strategies have been made to address different aspects related to this issue. However, most existing algorithms for OOD generalization are complicated and specifically designed for certain dataset. To alleviate this problem, nicochallenge-2022 provides NICO++, a large-scale dataset with diverse context information. In this paper, based on systematic analysis of different schemes on NICO++ dataset, we propose a simple but effective learning framework via coupling bag of tricks, including multi-objective framework design, data augmentations, training and inference strategies. Our algorithm is memory-efficient and easily-equipped, without complicated modules and does not require for large pre-trained models. It achieves an excellent performance with Top-1 accuracy of 88.16% on public test set and 75.65% on private test set, and ranks 1st in domain generalization task of nicochallenge-2022.

Some pulsar which are born with central densities close to the critical value of quark deconfinement may undergo a phase transition and structural re-arrengement. This process may excite oscillation modes and emmit gravitational waves. We determine the rate of quark core formation in neutron stars using a realistic population synthesis code.

description: The development prospects of memristive elements for non-volatile memory with use of the metal-dielectric-metal sandwich structures with a thin oxide layer are due to the possibility of reliable forming the sustained functional states with quantized resistance. In the paper we study the properties of fabricated memristors based on the non-stoichiometric $ZrO_2$ nanotubes in different resistive switching modes. Anodic oxidation of the $Zr$ foil has been used to synthesize a zirconia layer of $1.7$ $μ$$m$ thickness, consisting of an ordered array of vertically oriented nanotubes with outer diameter of 75 nm. $Zr/ZrO_2/Au$ sandwich structures have been fabricated by mask magnetron deposition. The effects of resistive switching in the $Zr/ZrO_2/Au$ memristors in unipolar and bipolar modes have been investigated. The resistance ratios $\geq3\cdot10^4$ between high-resistance (HRS) and low-resistance (LRS) states have been evaluated. It has been founded the conductivity of LRS is quantized in a wide range with minimum value of $0.5G_0=38.74$ $μ$$S$ due to the formation of quantum conductors based on oxygen vacancies ($V_O$). Resistive switching mechanisms of $Zr/ZrO_2/Au$ memristors with allowing for migration of $V_O$ in an applied electric field have been proposed. It has been shown that the ohmic type and space charge limited conductivities are realized in the LRS and HRS, correspondingly. We present the results which can be used for development of effective memristors based on functional $Zr/ZrO_2/Au$ nanolayered structure with multiple resistive states and high resistance ratio.

From the resulting codes, one can construct both block quantum error-correcting codes and quantum convolutional codes. We show that from the examples of convolutional codes found, we can derive ordinary quantum error-correcting codes using tail-biting with parameters [[42N,24N,3]]_2. While it is known that the product construction cannot improve the rate in the classical case, we show that this can happen for quantum codes: we show that a code [[15,7,3]]_2 is obtained by the product of a code [[5,1,3]]_2 with a suitable code.

description: Numerous smart city testbeds and system deployments have surfaced around the world, aiming to provide services over unified large heterogeneous IoT infrastructures. Although we have achieved new scales in smart city installations and systems, so far the focus has been to provide diverse sources of data to smart city services consumers, while neglecting to provide ways to simplify making good use of them. We believe that knowledge creation in smart cities through data annotation, supported in both an automated and a crowdsourced manner, is an aspect that will bring additional value to smart cities. We present here our approach, aiming to utilize an existing smart city deployment and the OrganiCity software ecosystem. We discuss key challenges along with characteristic use cases, and report on our design and implementation, along with preliminary results.

description: The generation of high harmonics in laser-irradiated light homonuclear diatomics (H2+, N2 and O2) compared to that in atomic counterparts (of nearly identical binding energy) is studied within the velocity gauge version of conventional strong-field approximation. The applied strong-field approach (we alternatively developed earlier to incorporate rescattering effects beyond the conventional saddle-point approximation) is currently extended to molecular case by means of supplement the standard linear combination of atomic orbitals} and molecular orbitals method. The associated model proved to adequately reproduce a general shape and detailed structure of molecular harmonic spectra, which demonstrate a number of remarkable distinctive differences from respective atomic spectra calculated under the same laser pulses. The revealed differences are found to be strongly dependent on internuclear separation and also very sensitive to the orbital and bonding symmetry of contributing molecular valence shell. In particular, the model correctly predicts the behavior of high-frequency plateau (both for its extent and even details of structure) in molecular harmonic spectra at small (nearly equilibrium) and large internuclear separations. In addition, for some group of harmonics, the harmonic emission rates were ascertained to dominate by contribution from inner molecular shells of higher binding energy and different orbital symmetry compared to the outermost molecular orbital normally predominantly contributing.

description: We use circular dichroism (CD) in time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES) to measure the femtosecond charge dynamics in the topological insulator (TI) Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$. We detect clear CD signatures from topological surface states (TSS) and surface resonance (SR) states. In time-resolved measurements, independently from the pump polarization or intensity, the CD shows a dynamics which provides access to the unexplored electronic evolution in unoccupied states of Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$. In particular, we are able to disentangle the unpolarized electron dynamics in the bulk states from the spin-textured TSS and SR states on the femtosecond timescale. Our study demonstrates that photoexcitation mainly involves the bulk states and is followed by sub-picosecond transport to the surface. This provides essential details on intra- and interband scatterings in the relaxation process of TSS and SR states. Our results reveal the significant role of SRs in the subtle ultrafast interaction between bulk and surface states in TIs.
Effects of swine manure, chemical fertilizer, and drainage control on water quality

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The global demand for agricultural cropland due to population growth and loss of prime cropland to soil erosion and urbanization has led to increases in chemical fertilizer usage in order to increase the yield per unit area. But this has not been without a price. Chemical fertilizers, apart from their high costs, are known to cause water pollution to both surface and subsurface water bodies. To mitigate this problem, research has been focused on the application of animal manures and composted material to land to improve the quality of some poorly drained soils. In this study, composted swine manure was manually mixed with a poorly drained soil sample collected from Boundary Bay Water Control project site to enhance its drainage. The soil plus compost mixture was introduced into clearcast acrylic tubes. Five of the tubes with soil alone control tube were set inside the Laboratory and the other five tubes with a control were situated outside to simulate field conditions. The tubes were fertilized with different concentrations of liquid swine manure and chemical fertilizer to supply the necessary nutrients required by plant. Enough water was applied to saturate the sample based on the soil water storage capacity from a previous experiment. Leachate samples were collected and analyzed for some selected water quality criteria (pH, electrical conductivity (EC), ammonia-N, nitrate + nitrite-N, and total Kjeldahl nitrogen). The pH, EC, ammonia-N, and nitrate + nitrite-N did not show any significant increase with the increased rate of liquid swine manure or chemical fertilizer application. In fact, the soil plus compost alone mixture may contain enough nutrients that extra fertilization was not necessary. Hence, the composted swine manure can be used as an extra source of nutrient and to enhance the soil hydraulic properties. Water pollution from these applications was minimal based on the experienced conditions.

A compartmental model of human microvascular exchange
Creators: name: Xie, Shuling
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: To study the distribution and transfer of fluid and albumin between the human circulation, interstitium and lymphatics, a dynamic mathematical model is formulated. In this model, the human microvascular exchange system is subdivided into two distinct compartments: the circulation and the interstitium. Fluid is transported from the capillary to the interstitium by filtration according to the Starling’s hypothesis, while albumin is transported passively by coupled diffusion and convection through the same channels that carry the fluid. Data for parameter estimation are taken from a number of studies involving human microvascular exchange and include information from normals, nephrotics, heart failure patients, and also information from experiments on both normals and patients following saline or albumin solution infusions. Transport parameters are determined by fitting model predicted results to available measurements from the literature. The best-fit parameters obtained are LS = 43.08 ± 4.62 mL• mmHg⁻¹•h⁻¹, õ = 0.9888 ± 0.002, Pc,0 = 11.00 ± 0.03 mmHg, PS = 73.01 mL•h⁻¹, KF = 121.05 mL•mmHg⁻¹•h⁻¹, and JL,O = 75.74 mL•h⁻¹. Simulation of the available experimental data using these parameters gave a reasonable fit in terms of both trends and absolute values. All of the best-fit parameter values are in reasonable agreement with estimated values based on experimental measurements where comparisons with literature data are possible. The fully described model is used to simulate the transient behaviour of the system when subjected to an intravenous infusion of albumin and the predicted values compare reasonably well with the experimental infusion data of Koomans et al. (1985). The coupled Starling model is able to successfully simulate the transport mechanisms of human microvascular exchange system.

description: A key challenge to visualization authoring is the process of getting familiar with the complex user interfaces of authoring tools. Natural Language Interface (NLI) presents promising benefits due to its learnability and usability. However, supporting NLIs for authoring tools requires expertise in natural language processing, while existing NLIs are mostly designed for visual analytic workflow. In this paper, we propose an authoring-oriented NLI pipeline by introducing a structured representation of users' visualization editing intents, called editing actions, based on a formative study and an extensive survey on visualization construction tools. The editing actions are executable, and thus decouple natural language interpretation and visualization applications as an intermediate layer. We implement a deep learning-based NL interpreter to translate NL utterances into editing actions. The interpreter is reusable and extensible across authoring tools. The authoring tools only need to map the editing actions into tool-specific operations. To illustrate the usages of the NL interpreter, we implement an Excel chart editor and a proof-of-concept authoring tool, VisTalk. We conduct a user study with VisTalk to understand the usage patterns of NL-based authoring systems. Finally, we discuss observations on how users author charts with natural language, as well as implications for future research.

description: We present a detailed spectral analysis of the joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the Seyfert 1.5 Galaxy ESO 362-G18. The broadband ($0.3\mbox{--}79$ keV) spectrum shows the presence of a power-law continuum with a soft excess below $2$ keV, iron K$α$ emission ($\sim 6.4$ keV), and a Compton hump (peaking at $\sim 20$ keV). We find that the soft excess can be modeled by two different possible scenarios: a warm ($kT_\mathrm{e}\sim0.2$ keV) and optically thick ($τ\sim34$) Comptonizing corona; or with relativistically-blurred reflection off a high-density ($\log{[n_\mathrm{e}/\mathrm{cm}^{-3}]}>18.3$) inner disk. These two models cannot be easily distinguished solely from their fit statistics. However, the low temperature ($kT_\mathrm{e}\sim20$ keV) and the thick optical depth ($τ\sim5$) of the hot corona required by the warm corona scenario are uncommon for AGNs. We also fit a 'hybrid' model, which includes both disk reflection and a warm corona. Unsurprisingly, as this is the most complex of the models considered, this provides the best fit, and more reasonable coronal parameters. In this case, the majority of the soft excess flux arises in the warm corona component. However, based on recent simulations of warm coronae, it is not clear whether such a structure can really exist at the low accretion rates relevant for ESO 362-G18 ($\dot{m}\sim0.015$). This may therefore argue in favor of a scenario in which the soft excess is instead dominated by the relativistic reflection. Based on this model, we find that the data would require a compact hot corona ($h\sim3\,R_\mathrm{Horizon}$) around a highly spinning ($a_\star>0.927$) black hole.

description: We address the problems of constructing quantum convolutional codes (QCCs) and of encoding them. The first construction is a CSS-type construction which allows us to find QCCs of rate 2/4. The second construction yields a quantum convolutional code by applying a product code construction to an arbitrary classical convolutional code and an arbitrary quantum block code. We show that the resulting codes have highly structured and efficient encoders. Furthermore, we show that the resulting quantum circuits have finite depth, independent of the lengths of the input stream, and show that this depth is polynomial in the degree and frame size of the code.

description: We demonstrate a novel class of trapping potentials, time-averaged adiabatic potentials (TAAP) which allows the generation of a large variety of traps and waveguides for ultracold atoms. Multiple traps can be coupled through controllable tunneling barriers or merged altogether. We present analytical expressions for pancake-, cigar-, and ring- shaped traps. The ring-geometry is of particular interest for guided matter-wave interferometry as it provides a perfectly smooth waveguide of controllable diameter, and thus a tunable sensitivity of the interferometer.

description: Additional file 2:. Progranulin antibody validation. Validation of the progranulin antibody (AF2420, R&D Systems) using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Weak or no staining was seen in MCF10a and MDA-MB-468, while strong positive staining was seen in MDA-MB-231 and T47D (A). Correspondingly, protein extracts from MDA-MB-231 and T47D gave an intense band at between 70 and 100 kDa using Western blotting and protein extracts from MCF10a and MDA-MB-468 produced very weak bands (B, left). Knockdown experiments using either Scr. Control or siGRN confirmed progranulin antibody specificity (B, right). Representative images of three independent experiments. Scale bar represents 100 μm.

description: Double-peaked emission line AGN (DPAGN) have been regarded as binary black hole candidates. We present here results from parsec-scale radio observations with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) of five DPAGN belonging to the KISSR sample of emission-line galaxies. This work concludes our pilot study of nine type 2 Seyfert and LINER DPAGN from the KISSR sample. In the nine sources, dual compact cores are only detected in the "offset AGN", KISSR 102. The overall incidence of jets however, in the eight sources detected with the VLBA, is $\ge$60%. We find a difference in the "missing flux density" going from the Very Large Array (VLA) to VLBA scales between Seyferts and LINERs, with LINERs showing less missing flux density on parsec-scales. Using the emission-line modeling code, MAPPINGS III, we find that the emission lines are likely to be influenced by jets in 5/9 sources. Jet-medium interaction is the likely cause of the emission-line splitting observed in the SDSS spectra of these sources. Jets in radio-quiet AGN are therefore energetically capable of influencing their parsec- and kpc-scale environments, making them agents of "radio AGN feedback", similar to radio-loud AGN.

description: Excitonic resonance and binding energies can be altered by controlling the environmental screening of the attractive Coulomb potential. Although this screening response is often assumed to be static, the time evolution of the excitonic quasiparticles manifests a frequency-dependence in its Coulomb screening efficacy. In this letter, we investigate a ground (1s) and first excited exciton state (2s) in a multi-layered transition metal dichalcogenide (MoS$_2$) upon ultrafast photo-excitation. We explore the dynamic screening effects on the latter and show its resonance frequency is the relevant frequency at which screening from the smaller-sized 1s counterparts is effective. Our finding sheds light on new avenues of external tuning on excitonic properties.

description: Electron density diagnostics based on a line intensity ratio of Si X are applied to the X-ray spectra of Procyon, $α$ Cen A$&$B, Capella and $ε$ Eri measured with the Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (LETGS) combined with High-resolution Camera (HRC) on board the {\it Chandra X-ray Observatory}. The ratio $R_1$ of the intensities of the Si X lines at 50.524 Åand 50.691 Åis adopted. A certain of the temperature effect in $R_1$ appears near the low-density limit region, which is due to the contamination of Si X line at 50.703 Å. Using the emission measure distribution (EMD) model derived by Audard et al. (2001) for Capella and emissivities calculated with APEC model by Smith et al. (2001), we successfully estimate contributions of Fe XVI lines at 50.367 Åand 50.576 Å(73% and 62%, respectively). A comparison between observed ratios and theoretical predictions constrains the electron densities (in logarithmic) for Procyon to be 8.61$^{+0.24}_{-0.20}$ cm$^{-3}$, while for $α$ Cen A$&$B, Capella and $ε$ Eri to be 8.81$^{+0.27}_{-0.23}$ cm$^{-3}$, 8.60$^{+0.39}_{0.32}$ cm$^{-3}$, 9.30$_{-0.48}$ cm$^{-3}$ and 9.11$^{+1.40}_{-0.38}$ cm$^{-3}$, respectively. The comparison of our results with those constrained by the triplet of He-like carbon shows a good agreement. For normal stars, our results display a narrow uncertainty, while for active stars, a relatively larger uncertainty, due to the contamination from Fe XVI lines, is found. Another possible reason may be that the determination of the continuum level, since the emission lines of Si X become weak for the active stars. For $ε$ Eri, an electron density in the C V forming region was estimated firstly through Si X emissions.

description: The momentum distribution of electrons from decays of heavy flavor (charm and beauty) for midrapidity |y| < 0.35 in p+p collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV has been measured by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) over the transverse momentum range 0.3 < p_T < 9 GeV/c. Two independent methods have been used to determine the heavy flavor yields, and the results are in good agreement with each other. A fixed-order-plus-next-to-leading-log pQCD calculation agrees with the data within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties, with the data/theory ratio of 1.72 +/- 0.02^stat +/- 0.19^sys for 0.3 < p_T < 9 GeV/c. The total charm production cross section at this energy has also been deduced to be sigma_(c c^bar) = 567 +/- 57^stat +/- 224^sys micro barns.

description: The procedure of tossing quantum coins and dice is described. This case is an important example of a quantum procedure because it presents a typical framework employed in quantum information processing and quantum computing. The emphasis is on the clarification of the difference between quantum and classical conditional probabilities. These probabilities are designed for characterizing different systems, either quantum or classical, and they, generally, cannot be reduced to each other. Thus the Lüders probability cannot be treated as a generalization of the classical conditional probability. The analogies between quantum theory of measurements and quantum decision theory are elucidated.

Higher-order mesoscopic fluctuations in quantum wires: Conductance and current cumulants

description: We study conductance cumulants $<< g^n >>$ and current cumulants $C_j$ related to heat and electrical transport in coherent mesoscopic quantum wires near the diffusive regime. We consider the asymptotic behavior in the limit where the number of channels and the length of the wire in the units of the mean free path are large but the bare conductance is fixed. A recursion equation unifying the descriptions of the standard and Bogoliubov--de Gennes (BdG) symmetry classes is presented. We give values and come up with a novel scaling form for the higher-order conductance cumulants. In the BdG wires, in the presence of time-reversal symmetry, for the cumulants higher than the second it is found that there may be only contributions which depend nonanalytically on the wire length. This indicates that diagrammatic or semiclassical pictures do not adequately describe higher-order spectral correlations. Moreover, we obtain the weak-localization corrections to $C_j$ with $j\le 10$.

Emerging Theory of Strongly Coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma

description: RHIC data have shown robust collective flows, including recent spectacular ``conical flow'' from quenched jets: that confirms that QGP above the critical line is in a strongly coupled regime. One way to study Non-Abelian classical strongly coupled plasmas is via molecular dynamics, which was recently extended to plasmas with electric and magntic charges. First results on its transport (diffusion and viscosity) are reported. AdS/CFT correspondence is another actively pursuit approach to strong coupling regime: we review new results for heavy quark motion and even complete picture of conical flow, obtained from linearized gravity dual. Recent developments in (non-linearized) gravity aims at reproduction of the whole time-dependent picture of the explosion. We finally compare transport properties obtained from RHIC data to those obtained in MD and AdS/CFT.

The use of mixing-sensitive chemical reactions for the study of pulp fibre suspension mixing
Creators: name: Thangavel, V. K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The competitive, consecutive azo coupling between 1-naphthol and diazotized sulphanilic acid was used to investigate the mixing of a pulp fibre suspension in a stirred tank reactor operated in a semi-batch mode. The distribution between the mono and bis substituted product dyes depended upon the turbulent intensity in the reaction zone and was used to indicate the degree of mixing in the vessel. Coupling reactions were carried out under conditions where macromixing did not influence the product distribution and were used to indicate the turbulent dissipation and microscale mixing in the reaction zone. When fibres were present in the reactor some of the product dyes were adsorbed onto the fibres. Adsorption rate was not proportional to the equilibrium concentration of the dyes and it was necessary to correct the measured product distribution to account for the differential adsorption rates. Once this correction had been made the product distribution correctly indicated the degree of mixing. As the dyes were found to have different affinities for different pulps, separate correlations would have to be developed for each pulp tested. All results reported here were obtained with a commercially produced fully bleached kraft pulp. Tests were conducted in the stirred vessel using aqueous media and at fibre suspension concentrations up to 2.5% by mass. Test results in aqueous media compared favourably with past work and a predictive model developed by Baldyga and Bourne. In the presence of fibres a reduction in turbulent energy dissipation was detected under most operating conditions when compared with the aqueous tests. When the suspension mass concentration was increased to the point where the vessel contents ceased to be in complete motion the product distribution began to increase due to macroscale mixing effects. The technique could not be applied successfully to a high-shear mixer due to the high energy dissipation rates and dye adsorption, both of which reduced the product distribution below the analytical detection limit. While other mixing sensitive chemical reactions are available to permit mixing determination at these high dissipation rates, the extension of the reaction system to more than 3 adsorbable components would make the measurements difficult to conduct and interpret.
