description: Brownian diffusion of rod-like polymers in the presence of randomly distributed spherical obstacles is studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. It is observed that dependence of the reduced diffusion coefficient of these macromolecules on the available volume fraction can be described reasonably by a power law function. Despite the case of obstructed diffusion of flexible polymers in which reduced diffusion coefficient has a weak dependence on the polymer length, this dependence is noticeably strong in the case of rod-like polymers. Diffusion of these macromolecules in the presence of obstacles is observed that is anomalous at short time scales and normal at long times. Duration time of the anomalous diffusion regime is found that increases very rapidly with increasing both the polymer length and the obstructed volume fraction. Dynamics of diffusion of these polymers is observed that crosses over from Rouse to reptation type with increasing the density of obstacles.

description: We have implemented the so-called $λ$-Zeeman technique (LZT) to investigate individual hyperfine transitions between Zeeman sublevels of the Rb atoms in a strong external magnetic field $B$ in the range of $2500 - 5000$ G (recently it was established that LZT is very convenient for the range of $10 - 2500$ G). Atoms are confined in a nanometric thin cell (NTC) with the thickness $L = λ$, where $λ$ is the resonant wavelength 794 nm for Rb $D_1$ line. Narrow velocity selective optical pumping (VSOP) resonances in the transmission spectrum of the NTC are split into several components in a magnetic field with the frequency positions and transition probabilities depending on the $B$-field. Possible applications are described, such as magnetometers with nanometric local spatial resolution and tunable atomic frequency references.

description: Dichalcogenides with the common formula MX2 are layered materials with electrical properties that range from semiconducting to superconducting. Here, we describe optimal imaging conditions for optical detection of ultrathin, two-dimensional dichalcogenide nanocrystals containing single, double and triple layers of MoS2, WSe2 and NbSe2. A simple optical model is used to calculate the contrast for nanolayers deposited on wafers with varying thickness of SiO2. The model is extended for imaging using the green channel of a video camera. Using AFM and optical imaging we confirm that single layers of MoS2, WSe2 and NbSe2 can be detected on 90nm and 270 nm SiO2 using optical means. By measuring contrast under broad-band green illumination we are also able to distinguish between nanostructures containing single, mono and triple layers of MoS2, WSe2 and NbSe2.

Using think aloud protocols in the validity investigation of an assessment of complex thinking
Creators: name: Lyons-Thomas, Juliette
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Validation requires the collection of evidence that supports inferences from an assessment. Think aloud protocols (TAPs) are one method of collecting validity evidence for assessments; however this technique is rarely used in validity investigations of complex thinking. The first research question investigated the use of TAPs as a method of validation for assessments of complex thinking. Specifically, the research explored how TAPs add to validity investigations beyond the information that psychometric analyses provide. TAPs were collected from 35 students using a historical thinking measure. A large-scale administration of the same assessment to 441 students provided data for the psychometric analyses. The TAP data were coded and compared to the psychometric data in order to investigate the first research question. It was found that TAPs are valuable by providing information that is consistent with psychometric evidence. Furthermore, TAPs also provide information that cannot be obtained using traditional psychometric methods. The second research question examined accuracy of data from TAPs from the perspective of test takers. After taking part in the TAPs, students were asked to reflect on their verbalizations after they had finished their session. This information guided the investigation of verification of TAPs. The findings from this research show that students view TAPs as accurate reflections of their thought processes. Additionally, student responses provided important information about the factors that may facilitate or hinder the accuracy of TAPs. Possible implications and future directions for both research questions are discussed.

description: Density Functional Theory calculations are used to investigate the role of substrate-induced cooperative effects on the adsorption of water on a partially oxidized transition metal surface, O(2x2)/Ru(0001). Focussing particularly on the dimer configuration, we analyze the different contributions to its binding energy. A significant reinforcement of the intermolecular hydrogen-bond (H-bond), also supported by the observed frequency shifts of the vibration modes, is attributed to the polarization of the donor molecule when bonded to the Ru atoms in the substrate. This result is further confirmed by our calculations for a water dimer interacting with a small Ru cluster, which clearly show that the observed effect does not depend critically on fine structural details and/or the presence of co-adsorbates. Interestingly, the cooperative reinforcement of the H-bond is suppressed when the acceptor molecule, instead of the donor, is bonded to the surface. This simple observation can be used to rationalize the relative stability of different condensed structures of water on metallic substrates.

description: An enhanced model, based on the Extended Boson Approximation, for the lowest-lying states in odd-mass nuclei is presented. Our approach is built on the Quasiparticle Phonon Model, extending it to take into account the ground state correlations due to the action of the Pauli principle more accurately than in the conventional theory. The derived interaction strengths between the quasiparticles and the phonons in this model depend on the quasiparticle occupation numbers explicitly coupling the odd-mass nucleus equations with those of the even-even core. Within this model we calculated the transition probabilities in several Te, Xe and Ba isotopes with A$\approx$130.

Casimir interaction between a cylinder and a plate at finite temperature: Exact results and comparison to proximity force approximation

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We study the finite temperature Casimir interaction between a cylinder and a plate using the exact formula derived from the Matsubara representation and the functional determinant representation. We consider the scalar field with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The asymptotic expansions of the Casimir energy and the Casimir force when the separation $a$ between the cylinder and the plate is small are derived. As in the zero temperature case, it is found that the leading terms of the Casimir energy and the Casimir force agree with those derived from the proximity force approximation when $rT\gg 1$, where $r$ is the radius of the cylinder. When $aT\ll 1\ll rT$ (the medium temperature region), the leading term of the Casimir energy is of order $T^{5/2}$ whereas for the Casimir force, it is of order $T^{7/2}$. In this case, the leading terms are independent of the separation $a$. When $1\ll aT\ll rT$ (the high temperature region), the dominating terms of the Casimir energy and the Casimir force come from the zeroth Matsubara frequency. In this case, the leading terms are linear in $T$, but for the energy, it is inversely proportional to $a^{3/2}$, whereas for the force, it is inversely proportional to $a^{5/2}$. The first order corrections to the proximity force approximations in different temperature regions are computed using perturbation approach. In the zero temperature case, the results agree with those derived in [Bordag, Phys. Rev. D \textbf{73}, 125018 (2006)].

Unsaturated hydrology, evaporation, and geochemistry of neutral and acid rock drainage in highly heterogeneous mine waste rock at the Antamina Mine, Peru
Creators: name: Peterson, Holly Esther
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Physical and geochemical heterogeneities in mine waste rock complicate the prediction and assessment of waste rock effluent water quantity and quality. The objective of this research is to provide a holistic conceptual understanding of the hydrological and geochemical processes that control effluent water quantity and quality, and the complex interactions among processes at the field scale. To this end, a prodigious dataset from three experimental waste-rock piles at the Antamina Cu-Zn-Mo skarn-deposit mine was compiled and analyzed. Analyses included solid-phase mineralogy and physical characteristics; effluent and pore-water hydrology and geochemistry; and an aqueous tracer study. The instrumented piles (36 m x 36 m x 10 m) are each composed of a single rock type and are exposed to almost identical atmospheric conditions, isolating the effect of rock type on hydrological regimes. Physical waste rock heterogeneities result in highly variable hydrology that is strongly dependent on material particle size distributions and especially the presence of large boulders. The hydrological regimes include wide ranges of velocities for matrix flow (<2-12 cm/day), preferential flow (40-2000 cm/day), and pressure-induced wetting fronts (7-105 cm/day), all of which are strongly influenced by antecedent water content and precipitation patterns resulting from a two-season (wet/dry) climate. Evaporation is also highly variable among waste rock types on annual (24%-75% of precipitation) and multi-year timescales (28%-59% of precipitation). Mineralogical heterogeneities result in material-specific, temporally and spatially variable circum-neutral to acidic geochemical conditions (pH 4.6-8.5). Other geochemical controls on solute concentrations include precipitation and dilution of secondary minerals, sorption, and pH effects from CO₂ degassing. Furthermore, hydrology strongly influences effluent aqueous geochemistry, leading to solute concentrations and loadings that can fluctuate by several orders of magnitude between wet and dry seasons (e.g., Pile 2 Cu loadings: August-2010, 1.8x10-7 mg/(kg·wk); February-2011, 1.6x10-1 mg/(kg·wk)). Hydrological controls on aqueous geochemistry include seasonal solute accumulation; solute flushing through matrix flow paths of variable velocities; mixing and dilution at the pile base; and seasonal changes in moisture content that control internal CO₂ concentrations. The results highlight the need to account for unsaturated hydrology during the prediction and assessment of aqueous geochemistry from waste rock.

description: Various experimental results providing information on thermodynamic density of states in (Ga,Mn)As are analyzed theoretically assuming that holes occupy GaAs-like valence bands. Allowing for Gaussian fluctuations of magnetization, the employed model describes correctly a critical behavior of magnetic specific heat found experimentally in (Ga,Mn)As near the Curie temperature T_C [S. Yuldashev et al., Appl. Phys. Express 3, 073005 (2010)]. The magnitudes of room temperature thermoelectric power, as measured for GaAs:Be and (Ga,Mn)As [M. A. Mayer et al., Phys. Rev. B 81, 045205 (2010)], are consistent with the model for the expected energy dependencies of the hole mobility. The same approach describes also temperature variations of conductance specific to the Anderson-Mott localization, found for various dimensionality (Ga,Mn)As nanostructures at subkelvin temperatures [D. Neumaier et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 087203 (2009)]. We conclude that the examined phenomena do not provide evidence for an enhancement of density of states by the presence of an impurity band at the Fermi energy in ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As. Furthermore, we provide for (Ga,Mn)As expected values of both electronic specific heat at low temperatures T << T_C and magnetization as a function of the magnetic field at T_C.

We study the largest cardinality of a midpoint set M(S) in a finite-dimensional normed space, such that M(S) is contained in the unit sphere, and S is outside the closed unit ball. We show in three dimensions that this maximum (if it exists) is determined by the facial structure of the unit ball. In higher dimensions no such relationship exists. We also determine the maximum for euclidean and sup norm spaces.

description: In the symbiotic (or WD+RG) channel of the single degenerate scenario for type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) the explosions occur a relatively long time after star formation. The birthrate from this channel would be too low to account for all observed SNe Ia were it not for some mechanism to enhance the rate of accretion on to the white dwarf. A tidally enhanced stellar wind, of the type which has been postulated to explain many phenomena related to giant star evolution in binary systems, can do this. Compared to mass-stripping this model extends the space of SNe Ia progenitors to longer orbital periods and hence increases the birthrate to about $0.0069\,{\rm yr^{-1}}$ for the symbiotic channel. Two symbiotic stars, T CrB and RS Oph, considered to be the most likely progenitors of SNe Ia through the symbiotic channel, are well inside the period--companion mass space predicted by our models.

description: We study the sizes of delta-additive sets of unit vectors in a d-dimensional normed space: the sum of any two vectors has norm at most delta. One-additive sets originate in finding upper bounds of vertex degrees of Steiner Minimum Trees in finite dimensional smooth normed spaces (Z. Füredi, J. C. Lagarias, F. Morgan, 1991). We show that the maximum size of a delta-additive set over all normed spaces of dimension d grows exponentially in d for fixed delta>2/3, stays bounded for delta<2/3, and grows linearly at the threshold delta=2/3. Furthermore, the maximum size of a 2/3-additive set in d-dimensional normed space has the sharp upper bound of d, with the single exception of spaces isometric to three-dimensional l^1 space, where there exists a 2/3-additive set of four unit vectors.

Chemo-capillary instabilities of a contact line
Creators: name: Pismen, L. M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Equilibrium and motion of a contact line are viewed as analogs of phase equilibrium and motion of an interphase boundary. This point of view makes evident the tendency to minimization of the length of the contact line at equilibrium. The concept of line tension is, however, of limited applicability, in view of a qualitatively different relaxation response of the contact line, compared to a two-dimensional curve. Both the analogy and qualitative distinction extend to a non-equilibrium situation arising due to coupling with reversible substrate modification. Under these conditions, the contact line may suffer a variety of chemo-capillary instabilities (fingering, traveling and oscillatory), similar to those of dissipative structures in nonlinear non-equilibrium systems. The preference order of the various instabilities changes, however, significantly due to a different way the interfacial curvature is relaxed.

description: We analyze the simultaneous time-optimal control of two-spin systems. The two non coupled spins which differ in the value of their chemical offsets are controlled by the same magnetic fields. Using an appropriate rotating frame, we restrict the study to the case of opposite shifts. We then show that the optimal solution of the inversion problem in a rotating frame is composed of a pulse sequence of maximum intensity and is similar to the optimal solution for inverting only one spin by using a non-resonant control field in the laboratory frame. An example is implemented experimentally using techniques of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

CO2 enrichment in ambient air by temperature swing adsorption and its applications for stimulating plant growth in greenhouses
Creators: name: Bao, Jie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Adsorption on proper adsorbents is one of the commonly used technologies to capture carbon dioxide. Zeolites, such as 13X, exhibit good adsorption capacity and selectivity towards CO₂. Compared with CO₂ capture from large point sources with high concentration of CO₂, direct capture from the ambient air plays a better role in the reduction of greenhouse gases. On the other hand, greenhouse crops can be benefited from CO₂ enrichment, typically around 1000 ppm. By applying temperature swing adsorption to ambient air, CO₂ concentration can be enriched from 400 ppm to about 1000 ppm, which can then be directly used for greenhouse CO₂ enrichment. The proposed method not only helps the capture of CO₂ from air but also provides an enriched CO₂ stream to greenhouses. In this study, the performance of zeolite 13X was evaluated in a fixed bed reactor for enriching ambient CO₂ concentration from 400 ppm to 1000 ppm by temperature swing adsorption under different operating conditions such as ambient temperature and moisture content. Results showed that 13X performed well for both CO₂ adsorption and desorption, and an enrichment factor of 3 can be reached, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed TSA method. A lower adsorption temperature and a higher desorption temperature would result in a higher enriched CO₂ concentration. Finally, economic analyses have been carried out to compare the unit cost of proposed method for capturing one tonne CO₂ with the cost of other air capture technologies and the cost of CO₂ supply in current greenhouse operations. The unit cost of CO₂ enrichment by temperature swing adsorption seems to be quite competitive if the adsorption and desorption capacity of the currently tested adsorbent could be increased by six times to the level as reported in the literature.

description: We introduce a prescription for the luminosity from accreting protostars into smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation, and apply the method to simulations of five primordial minihalos generated from cosmological initial conditions. We find that accretion luminosity delays fragmentation within the halos, but does not prevent it. In halos that slowly form a low number of protostars, the accretion luminosity can reduce the number of fragments that are formed before the protostars start ionising their surroundings. However, halos that rapidly form many protostars become dominated by dynamical processes, and the effect of accretion luminosity becomes negligible. Generally the fragmentation found in the halos is highly dependent on the initial conditions. Accretion luminosity does not substantially affect the accretion rates experienced by the protostars, and is far less important than dynamical interactions, which can lead to ejections that effectively terminate the accretion. We find that the accretion rates onto the inner regions of the disks (20 AU) around the protostars are highly variable, in contrast to the constant or smoothly decreasing accretion rates currently used in models of the pre-main sequence evolution of Population III stars.

description: We introduce a novel generalization of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. It supports solitons that describe how proteins fold. As an example we scrutinize the villin headpiece HP35, an archetypal protein for testing both experimental and theoretical approaches to protein folding. Using explicit soliton profiles we construct its carbon backbone with an unprecedented accuracy.

description: We take advantage of the high sensitivity of the IBIS/ISGRI telescope and the improvements in the data analysis software to investigate the nature of the still poorly known X-ray source AX J1910.7+0917, and search for close-by previously undetected objects. We analyze all publicly available INTEGRAL data of AX J1910.7+0917, together with a number of archival observations that were carried out in the direction of the source with Chandra, XMM-Newton, and ASCA. In the IBIS/ISGRI field-of-view around AX J1910.7+0917, we discovered three new sources: IGR J19173+0747, IGR J19294+1327 and IGR J19149+1036; the latter is positionally coincident with the Einstein source 2E 1912.5+1031. For the first two sources, we also report the results of follow-up observations carried out with Swift/XRT. AX J1910.7+0917 features a clear variability in the X-rays. Its spectrum can be well described with an absorbed (N_H~6x10^(22) cm^(-2)) power-law (Γ~1.5) model plus an iron line at ~6.4 keV. We also obtained a refined position and report on possible infrared counterparts. The present data do not allow for a unique classification of the sources. Based on the property of its X-ray emission and the analysis of a likely infrared counterpart, we investigate different possibilities for the nature of AX J1910.7+0917.

description: AFOs are thermoplastic braces encompassing the foot and ankle, often prescribed to improve the walking ability of children and adults with neuromuscular diseases and other movement disorders. FOs, also called insoles, are another kind of lower limb orthotic device designed to treat musculoskeletal disorders and are designed to fit in a shoe, conforming to various extents with the plantar surface of the foot. Traditionally, AFOs and FOs are manufactured using plaster casting or foam box impressions of the anatomy of interest. These manual tasks are dependent on purpose-built workspaces, can be time-consuming, and can generate significant waste material. As a result, the use of digital design and manufacturing workflows, including CAD modelling, has received attention for orthotic applications since the late 1980s. The process of 3D CAD modelling for AFOs and FOs includes digital corrections and modifications of the 3D shape of the scanned anatomy, along with the placement and design of various features. The final 3D shape of the device can be manufactured by either direct milling or additive manufacturing. Many CAD tools have been developed to design and manufacture prosthetics and orthotics, and studies and reviews have been conducted on the use of CAD for other orthotic devices, such as spinal orthoses. However, there is no systematic summary and assessment of CAD methods regarding AFOs and FOs. Therefore, this scoping review aims to identify the available CAD methods for digital AFOs and FOs production and then make suggestions to clinicians and clinics.
