description: Die Neuorientierung der Energiepolitik hat in den Industrieländern eine Tendenz zur grundlegenden Veränderung der Systeme und Komponenten der Stromversorgung entstehen lassen. Konnten sich bisher die Stromverbraucher darauf verlassen, dass die gewünschte elektrische Leistung zu jeder Zeit dem Netz entnommen werden kann, wird die stark schwankende Stromerzeugung aus Windkraft und Photovoltaik zukünftig eine Mitwirkung der Stromverbraucher an dem in jedem Augenblick erforderlichen Abgleich zwischen Erzeugung und Verbrauch erzwingen. Man spricht von einer "Energiewende".
Dies bei einem möglichst hohen Anteil von Quellen erneuerbarer Energie erreichbar zu machen ist die Vision eines durch Datenverbindungen und Steuerung von Komponenten umfassend erweiterten intelligenten Stromnetzes, für das sich der Ausdruck "Smart Grid" eingebürgert hat. Auf eine prägnante Formulierung gebracht bedeutet dies einen Paradigmenwechsel von
"Generation follows Load" zu "Load follows Generation"!

description: For d-dimensional irrational ellipsoids E with d >= 9 we show that the number of lattice points in rE is approximated by the volume of rE, as r tends to infinity, up to an error of order o(r^{d-2}). The estimate refines an earlier authors' bound of order O(r^{d-2}) which holds for arbitrary ellipsoids, and is optimal for rational ellipsoids. As an application we prove a conjecture of Davenport and Lewis that the gaps between successive values, say s 0 as s -> \infty, for d >= 9. For comparison note that sup_s (n(s)-s) < \infty and \inf_s (n(s)-s) >0, for rational Q[x] and d>= 5. As a corollary we derive Oppenheim's conjecture for indefinite irrational quadratic forms, i.e., the set Q[Z^d] is dense in R, for d >= 9, which was proved for d >= 3 by G. Margulis in 1986 using other methods. Finally, we provide explicit bounds for errors in terms of certain characteristics of trigonometric sums.

description: We present calculations of quantized conductance and magnetoresistance in nanosize point contacts between two ferromagnetic metals. When conductance is open for only one conduction electrons spin-projection, the magnitude of magnetoresistance is limited by the rate of conduction electron spin-reversal processes. For the case when both spin-channels contribute to the conductance we analyze the influence of the point contact cross-section asymmetry on the giant megnetoresistance. Recent experiments on magnetoresistance of magnetic point contacts are discussed in the framework of the developed theory.

description: Die Zuverlässigkeit eines technischen Produkts oder Systems ist eine Eigenschaft, die angibt, wie verlässlich eine dem Produkt oder System zugewiesene Funktion in einem Zeitintervall erfüllt wird. Sie unterliegt einem stochastischen Prozess, kann qualitativ oder auch quantitativ (durch die Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit) beschrieben werden und ist nicht unmittelbar messbar. Eine Anwendung dieser Definition auf die elektrische Energieversorgung bedeutet, dass auch ein Ausfall möglich ist, da kein technisches Produkt frei von der Möglichkeit eines Ausfalles ist. Diese grundsätzliche Bedingung wird leider im Alltag oft nicht beachtet, die sehr hohe Zuverlässigkeit der elektrischen Energieversorgung wird als selbstverständlich angenommen und nur bei einem Ausfall, der in Deutschland im Bereich von ca. 15 Minuten pro Energieabnehmer und Jahr liegt, wird über die elektrische Energieversorgung diskutiert.

description: We consider the ground states of the ferromagnetic XXZ chain with spin up boundary conditions in sectors with a fixed number of down spins. This forces the existence of a droplet of down spins in the system. We find the exact energy and the states that describe these droplets in the limit of an infinite number of down spins. We prove that there is a gap in the spectrum above the droplet states. As the XXZ Hamiltonian has a gap above the fully magnetized ground states as well, this means that the droplet states (for sufficiently large droplets) form an isolated band. The width of this band tends to zero in the limit of infinitely large droplets. We also prove the analogous results for finite chains with periodic boundary conditions and for the infinite chain.

description: Unser Gehirn muss eine ungeheuer komplizierte Aufgabe erfüllen: Es muss einen kontinuierlichen Fluss an Sinnesinformationen verarbeiten und zur gleichen Zeit Erinnerungen, zum Teil für ein Leben lang, speichern und abrufen. Die Transmission von chemischen Botenstoffen zwischen Nervenzellen erfolgt dabei ebenso an den Synapsen wie das Generieren und Speichern neuer Informationscodes. Es muss bei hierbei immer ein Gleichgewicht hergestellt werden zwischen dem Abspeichern neuer Informationen und dem Erhalt vorhandenen Wissens. Welche Mechanismen und welche biochemischen Prozesse aber ermöglichen die Lern- und Gedächtnisvorgänge, was bedingt Vergessen?
Die Fähigkeit, etwas zu lernen und im Gedächtnis zu behalten, ist über das Tierreich nicht gleich verteilt. Bei uns Menschen beispielsweise sind Effektivität und Kapazität von Lern- und Gedächtnisvorgängen besonders stark ausgeprägt und halten bis in das hohe Lebensalter hin an. Unsere diesbezüglichen Fähigkeiten sind neben unserer Sprache Grundlage und Voraussetzung unserer Kultur und unserer individuellen Persönlichkeit. Umgekehrt führt der Verlust des Gedächtnisses zum Verlust unserer Biographie und damit unsere Persönlichkeit sowie zum Verlust der Möglichkeit mit anderen Menschen interagieren zu können. Dem entsprechend ist das Thema Lernen und Gedächtnis eines der Hauptanliegen der Neurobiologie.

description: The purpose of this thesis is to study the basic services and infrastructure available to residents of the informal settlement of La Perla in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This thesis researched the availability of services, the acquisition and quality of these services and who provided them. This research concurrently explores the governance structures that emerged as a result of marginalization, the absence of government involvement and the endurance of La Perla for over a century. The research design consisted of reviewing background documents, photographing the study site, and interviewing both residents and local government officials. Seven public services were selected for study within La Perla: electricity, water, garbage collection, public transportation, education, fire and rescue, and safety and security. The findings show La Perla challenges the perception of informal settlements as places that lack access to public services and infrastructure with a mix of formality and informality in its built form and availability of the services studied in this thesis.

El objetivo de esta tesis es el estudio de los servicios basicos e infraestructura disponible a los residentes de la comunidad informal de La Perla en San Juan, Puerto Rico. Esta tesis analizs los servicios, la adquisicisn y calidad de los mismos y sus proveedores. La tesis, de forma concurrente, explora cuales estructuras gubernamentales y que necesidades emergen como resultado de la ausencia de servicios gubernamentales y la perpetuidad de La Perla como comunidad marginada por mas de un siglo. El estudio consistis en revisar documentos antecedentes, fotografiar el sitio de estudio, y entrevistar residentes y funcionarios del gobierno local. Siete servicios pzblicos fueron seleccionados para estudiar dentro de La Perla: electricidad, agua, coleccisn de basura, transportacisn pzblica, educacisn, fuego y rescate, y seguridad y proteccisn. Los hallazgos muestran que La Perla desafma la percepcisn de las comunidades informales como lugares que carecen de acceso a los servicios pzblicos y la infraestructura con una mezcla de formalidad y la informalidad en su forma construida y la disponibilidad de los servicios estudiados en esta tesis.

description: This paper presents a hydrologic closure design concept to minimize the risk of water discharges from closed mine tailings facilities. It evaluates the applicability of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission guidelines to develop acceptable designs for the closure of tailings facilities that have a calculated adequate surcharge capacity for environmental protection and an emergency spillway for dam safety. The guidelines provide a basis to estimate an acceptable surcharge capacity of a Probable Maximum Flood series for storage of surface runoff. To be conservative and for redundancy with respect to dam safety, an emergency spillway is provided to pass the Probable Maximum Precipitation. Depending on the annual water balance, the surcharge capacity may be used by surface runoff and minor amounts of sediment that accumulates in the impoundment from year to year. The emergency spillway crest is then set at this level or above the surcharge capacity, whichever is higher. An example is given of the active Red Dog Mine tailings facility in Alaska where this method was used for the preliminary design of the tailings main dam at its ultimate closure configuration.

description: In this paper the notion of Measure Equivalence (ME) of countable groups is studied. ME was introduced by Gromov as a measure-theoretic analog of quasi-isometries. All lattices in the same locally compact group are Measure Equivalent; this is one of the motivations for this notion. The main result of this paper is ME rigidity of higher rank lattices: any countable group which is ME to a lattice in a simple Lie group G of higher rank, is commensurable to a lattice in G.

Serum Regulation of Inhibitor of DNA Binding/Differentiation 1 Expression by a BMP Pathway and BMP Responsive El
Creators: Lewis, Thera Cathy

Year: 2013
Subjects: Biology
Molecular biology

description: Immediate Early Genes (IEGs) are expressed upon re-entry of quiescent cells into the cell cycle following serum stimulation. These genes are involved in growth control and differentiation and hence their expression is tightly controlled. Many IEGs are regulated through Serum Response Elements (SREs) in their promoters, which bind Serum Response Factor (SRF). However, many other IEGs do not have SREs in their promoters and their serum regulation is poorly understood. We have identified SRF-independent IEGs in SRF-depleted fibroblasts. One of these, Id1, was examined more closely. We mapped a serum responsive element in the Id1 promoter and find that it is identical to a BMP Responsive Element (BRE). The Id1 BRE is necessary and sufficient for the serum regulation of Id1. Inhibition of the BMP pathway by siRNA depletion of Smad4, treatment with the BMP antagonist noggin, or the BMP receptor inhibitor dorsomorphin blocked serum induction of Id1. Further, BMP2 is sufficient to induce Id1 expression.
Given reports that SRC inhibitors can block Id1 expression, we tested the SRC inhibitor, AZD0530, and found that it inhibits the serum activation of Id1. Surprisingly, this inhibition is independent of SRC or its family members. Rather, we show that AZD0530 directly inhibits the BMP type I receptors. Serum induction of the Id1 related gene Id3 also required the BMP pathway. Given these and other findings we conclude that the Id family of IEGs is regulated by BMPs in serum through similar BREs. This represents a second pathway for serum regulation of IEGs.

Orbit equivalence rigidity

description: Consider a countable group Gamma acting ergodically by measure preserving transformations on a probability space (X,mu), and let R_Gamma be the corresponding orbit equivalence relation on X. The following rigidity phenomenon is shown: there exist group actions such that the equivalence relation R_Gamma on X determines the group Gamma and the action (X,mu,Gamma) uniquely, up to finite groups. The natural action of SL_n(Z) on the n-torus R^n/Z^n, for n>2, is one of such examples. The interpretation of these results in the context of von Neumann algebras provides some support to the conjecture of Connes on rigidity of group algebras for groups with property T. Our rigidity results also give examples of countable equivalence relations of type II, which cannot be generated (mod 0) by a free action of any group. This gives a negative answer to a long standing problem of Feldman and Moore.

description: Treating a many-body Fermi system in terms of a single particle in a deforming mean field. We relate adiabatic geometric phase to susceptibility for the noncyclic case, and to its derivative for the cyclic case. Employing the semiclassical expression of susceptibility, the expression for geometric phase for chaotic quantum system immediately follows. Exploiting the well-known association of the absorptive part of susceptibility with dissipation, our relations may provide a quantum mechanical origin of the damping of collective excitations in Fermi systems.

Long term in-situ behaviour of oil sands fine tailings in Suncor’s Pond 1A
Creators: name: Wells, Patrick Sean
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Suncor Energy Inc’s oil sands operation north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, has been in production since 1966. Pond 1A, a fluid fine tailings (FFT) storage and flow-through recycle water pond, began infilling in the 1970’s. The first sampling programme of the FFT was conducted in 1977, with periodic follow-up programmes through to 2010. This pond has been used to store volumes of FFT in the form of Mature Fine Tailings (MFT) at significant depths in relatively undisturbed conditions for over 25 years. This site, unique in the industry, is important to understanding the long-term behaviour of fluid fine tailings in the oil sands landscapes. The observed behaviour provides insights into potential storage and material strength gain projections. Several decades worth of sample profiles are provided, along with general observations on the potential implications to the industry.

description: We derive a universal formula for the asymptotic growth of the mean value of three-point coefficient for Warped Conformal Field Theories (WCFTs), and provide a holographic calculation in BTZ black holes. WCFTs are two dimensional quantum field theories featuring a chiral Virasoro and U(1) Kac-Moody algebra, and are conjectured to be holographically dual to quantum gravity on asymptotically AdS$_3$ spacetime with Comp$\grave{\mathrm{e}}$re-Song-Strominger boundary conditions. The WCFT calculation amounts to the calculation of one-point functions on torus, whose high temperature limit can be approximated by using modular covariance of WCFT, similar to the derivation of Cardy formula. The bulk process is given by a tadpole diagram, with a massive spinning particle propagates from the infinity to the horizon, and splits into particle and antiparticle which annihilate after going around the horizon of BTZ black holes. The agreement between the bulk and WCFT calculations indicates that the black hole geometries in asymptotically AdS$_3$ spacetimes can emerge upon coarse-graining over microstates in WCFTs, similar to the results of Kraus and Maloney in the context of AdS/CFT[arXiv:1608.03284].

description: Solitosynthesis of Q-balls in the false vacuum can result in a phase transition of a new kind. Formation and subsequent growth of Q-balls via the charge accretion proceeds until the solitons reach a critical charge, at which point it becomes energetically favorable for the Q-ball interior to expand filling space with the true vacuum phase. Solitosynthesis can destabilize a false vacuum even when the tunneling rate is negligible. In models with low-energy supersymmetry, where the Q-balls associated with baryon and lepton number conservation are generically present, solitosynthesis can precipitate transitions between the vacua with different VEV's of squarks and sleptons.

description: In this thesis the effects of high temperatures on fermentation characteristics, as well as the use of thermotolerant yeasts in brewing are investigated. Specifically, the effects of high temperatures on yeast growth and fermentation rate are examined and the characteristics of the products produced at high temperature fermentations are analyzed. Signal transduction pathways involving reactive oxygen species as second messengers seem to participate in the decrease of yeast growth rate at supraoptimal temperatures, while ethanol, lactic acid and acetic acid are described as ‘escape valves’ for the yeast cells. Oxidative stress is linked to thermal stress. Furthermore, the effects of high fermentation temperatures on the production of volatile compounds during fermentation are overviewed. Esters’ and higher alcohols’ levels increase with the temperature and the promoted expression of specific genes which are involved in their production is the reason for that. Furthermore, diacetyl forms sharper peaks at high fermentation temperatures, which coincides with decreased maturation times. Acetaldehyde levels depend mainly on the availability of NADH and there is not a clear connection between their levels in beer and fermentation temperature. The brewing characteristics of several thermotolerant yeasts are analyzed. These yeasts come from the wine industry, the distilleries and bioethanol production sectors or from farmhouse ales, including Norwegian Kveik. Several Kveik yeasts have mutations at the CDC25 gene which has been found to increase thermotolerance. Novel products made with these yeasts are suggested and they include low alcohol beers with Brettanomyces, low alcohol beers and Lambics with Lachancea thermotolerans, hard seltzers with whisky strains and high gravity brewing with Kveik. The operational challenges and the benefits associated with high fermentation temperatures are stated. Thermotolerant yeasts can significantly decrease fermentation times and save at least 100,000 hL/year for a brewery with an annual production capacity of 5 million hL/year. Finally, a SWOT analysis is included for five of the articles that were used in this thesis to assess their quality, explore their strengths and weaknesses, and reveal their potential for new, more comprehensive, research projects. Most of the novel product ideas are contained in the SWOT analysis.

description: A lattice of uniformly charged, infinitesimally thin, rods decorated with an ordered array of counterions exhibits anomalous behavior as the spacing between the rods is varied. In particular, the counterion lattice undergoes a sequence of structural shearing, or "tilting," phase transformations as the spacing between the rods decreases. The potential implications of this behavior with respect to the packaging of biologically relevant polyelectrolytic molecules are commented upon.

description: A new, relativistically covariant, massive Lorentz Electrodynamics (LED) is presented in which the bare particle has a finite positive bare rest mass and moment of inertia. The particle's electromagnetic self-interaction renormalizes its mass and spin. Most crucially, the renormalized particle is a soliton: after any scattering process its rest mass and spin magnitude are dynamically restored to their pre-scattering values. This guarantees that ``an electron remains an electron,'' poetically speaking. A renormalization flow study of the limit of vanishing bare rest mass is conducted for this model. This limit yields a purely electromagnetic classical field theory with ultra-violet cutoff at about the electron's Compton wavelength! The renormalized limit model matches the empirical electron data as orderly as one can hope for at the level of Lorentz theory. In particular, no superluminal equatorial gyration speeds occur.

description: Vocal polyphonic music, as one of Georgia’s primary cultural exports that has been gaining popularity in the world, plays a big part in the effort of creating a marketable Georgian identity – an effort tied to the Georgian state’s desire to join the EU and get away from its Soviet past. Whether state-sponsored or private, a number of institutions have risen to prominence in recent years, all proclaiming to be dedicated to the preservation and popularization of Georgian folklore. While their contribution to these missions is extensive, their policies and practices often carry an eerie resemblance to the Soviet attempts at selective promotion of indigenous cultures. By the very nature of their structure, these institutions impose a particular idea of power and hierarchy: wherein a few select people control the distribution of finances, information, and other resources, performers adhere to dress codes, and ensembles have centralized leadership. My argument in this work is that this idea of power and hierarchy is at odds with the practice of Georgian polyphonic singing, which involves (usually) three distinct voices coming together, without designating a “chief” or “main” one among them. Rather, the singers trade off taking the lead, with endless opportunities for melodic and textual improvisation, and the songs in question are not possible if all the voices are not present. Through a close analysis of ethnographic data from the provinces of Guria and Svaneti in Western Georgia, this project explores how power, preservation, and death — both semiotic and literal — coincide, intersect, and diverge in the Georgian folk singing communities. I approach the tradition as a dynamic habit, with its practitioners as participants in a continuous process, which can only die if performance reaches the “perfect” form, so often exulted by the very institutions that vow to keep it alive. My discussion of the singing practice in this dissertation poses broader questions within the disciplines of anthropology and ethnomusicology, such as: how does the growing popularity of a musical practice shape the worldwide discourse and local policies around it? What happens when rigid institutional power structures are imposed onto a tradition that is pre-disposed against them? And what options and choices do the practitioners of this tradition have when it comes to maintaining their commitment to it?
Settlement Colonialism: Compensatory Justice in United States Expansion, 1903-1941
Creators: Powers, Allison

Subjects: History

Reparations for historical injustices

description: This dissertation explains how international disputes over the legal foundations of United States imperial expansion became sites of unanticipated struggle over the legitimacy of the American justice system. Between the mid nineteenth century and the early twentieth, the United States submitted to a series of international tribunals designed to award monetary compensation for loss of life and property resulting from the wave of territorial acquisitions that transformed the nation into a global empire. These claims commissions depoliticized the dispossession that resulted from annexation by characterizing it as a form of exchange that could be retroactively settled through arbitration. The model of justifying expansion through claims settlement came into crisis when foreign nationals from Panama, the West Indies, and Mexico who were living in United States territories turned to these tribunals to argue that the US government authorized forms of state violence and labor coercion in violation of the international norms known as the “standard of civilization.” By demonstrating how claimants used seemingly technical calculations of market value compensation to question the government’s ability to protect life and property within its borders, the dissertation uncovers a forgotten moment of struggle over the limits and possibilities of international law to address structural injustices within the American legal system.

Post-Newtonian Models of Binary Neutron Stars

description: Using an energy variational method, we calculate quasi-equilibrium configurations of binary neutron stars modeled as compressible triaxial ellipsoids obeying a polytropic equation of state. Our energy functional includes terms both for the internal hydrodynamics of the stars and for the external orbital motion. We add the leading post-Newtonian (PN) corrections to the internal and gravitational energies of the stars, and adopt hybrid orbital terms which are fully relativistic in the test-mass limit and always accurate to PN order. The total energy functional is varied to find quasi-equilibrium sequences for both corotating and irrotational binaries in circular orbits. We examine how the orbital frequency at the innermost stable circular orbit depends on the polytropic index n and the compactness parameter GM/Rc^2. We find that, for a given GM/Rc^2, the innermost stable circular orbit along an irrotational sequence is about 17% larger than the innermost secularly stable circular orbit along the corotating sequence when n=0.5, and 20% larger when n=1. We also examine the dependence of the maximum neutron star mass on the orbital frequency and find that, if PN tidal effects can be neglected, the maximum equilibrium mass increases as the orbital separation decreases.

Sexual Abuse of Children in U.S. Schools: A Case Study of Presentation High School

description: To date, there have been no comprehensive national studies on sexual violence committed by educators against students. Additionally, there is currently no federal office or agency mandated with collecting and examining statistics on allegations of this type of misconduct. In 2017, Kathryn Leehane, an alumna of Presentation High School in San Jose, California, penned an op-ed about her own experience with this misconduct. What followed was an onslaught of stories from other alumni indicating that Kathryn’s experience was not an isolated incident. It was a patterned behavior of the school for abuse to occur and the school to silence victims and support abusers. Moreover, this is a behavior which is not just unique at Presentation, but is prevalent in institutions across the country and the globe. This paper examines educator sexual abuse as a violation of children’s rights, particularly the rights to protection, safe education, and self-representation through a case study of the scandal at Presentation High School. With this case study and by applying a human rights framework to the issue, the paper explores the prevalence of this misconduct and the characteristics of institutions, such as a private Catholic high school, that permit them to ignore abuse and children’s rights in favor of protecting the institution’s own reputation.

description: Mining generates and moves the highest volume of material in the world. At mine sites throughout the world, explosives are used to fragment rock into workable size fractions. Mine-water chemistry can be influenced by residual blasting agents used during mining. Ongoing monitoring of the water chemistry from three large-scale waste rock test piles, measuring 60 by 50 m in area and 15 m high, began in 2007 and the quality of water draining from this material is being studied. Blasting residuals comprised a large proportion of dissolved constituents in the pore water and effluent for the first three monitoring seasons. Variations in concentrations and the gradual rates of dissipation of blasting residuals provide an indication of the pile heterogeneity and the relative contribution of different flow paths. As temperatures within the piles increase with ambient temperature increases, larger proportions of the pile contribute to flow, and increased concentrations of blasting residuals are observed in waste rock effluent. Mass-balance calculations based on the ratios of SO₄:Total-N can be used to estimate the relative contributions of sulfide oxidation within the piles and sulfate released when sulfur in the host rock is oxidized during blasting. These calculations can also provide an estimate of S mass released during the first flush of the piles. This research will aid in understanding the release of constituents caused by blasting and waste-rock hydrology.

description: Semiclassical spectra beyond the Gutzwiller and Berry-Tabor approximation for chaotic and regular systems, respectively, are obtained by harmonic inversion of the hbar expansion of the periodic orbit signal. The method is illustrated for the circle billiard, where the semiclassical error is reduced by one to several orders of magnitude with respect to the lowest order approximation used previously.
