Development of control strategies for the operation of a struvite crystallization process
Creators: name: Fattah, Kazi Parvez
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In this study, a dynamic control model for struvite crystallization process was developed that incorporated both chemistry and control software, which could be used to increase the efficiency and ease process operation. This process model was the basis of an automatic controller that had the capability to manipulate flows and chemical additions, and thereby control the system at a desired set point. The control model was then used as a prediction tool to determine conditions that influence the supersaturation ratio of the process. A pilot scale crystallizer was operated at a local treatment plant to test the model. The struvite produced from the operation of the process was then examined to determine the influence of various operating parameters on its quality. Supersaturation ratio (SSR) and upflow velocity in the crystallizer were found to influence the size and shape of the pellets developed. Mid-sized pellets (2.0-2.5 mm), had the highest crushing strengths; SSR did not appear to influence the crushing strength of pellets formed. High concentration of magnesium in the crystallizer was related to the formation of pellets having greater crushing strengths. To determine a single solubility constant for struvite, a study was conducted under varying experimental conditions. Results showed that, for a particular temperature, and in the working pH range of 7.0-9.0, the solubility constant was independent of the pH and water matrix. These experimental values, along with values found in literature, were used to derive a universal constant and a linear equation relating solubility product (pKsp) with temperature. In this study, the effectiveness of two carbon dioxide strippers, in reducing caustic usage, were evaluated. Results showed that carbon dioxide stripping was efficient in reducing caustic costs, by as much as 46%. The potential saving in caustic cost due to CO₂ stripping was calculated to be as high as 38 cents per thousand liters treated. The determination of the concentration of Mg in a struvite crystallization process is important because of its influence on SSR, the associated operational cost and its struvite forming potential when unused chemical is passed back to the treatment plant. In this study, methods were tested, with acceptable degree of accuracy, which can provide information, on-site, on the concentration and rate of application of the element.

description: This conceptual chapter discusses how requirements for teacher educator professionalism may be impacted by the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in teacher education. With the aim to continuously facilitate high-quality teacher education, teacher education institutions must evolve in alignment with the rapidly changing landscape of AI and the respective shifting educational needs. Amidst this evolution, we argue that profound AI Literacy and AI-related ethical knowledge constitute two additional and inextricably intertwined knowledge facets of teacher educator professionalism essential for an ethical and effective integration of AI into teaching practices: and thus crucial for high quality teacher education. The paper explores avenues through which these facets of teacher professional competence and quality education can be fostered on the micro, meso and macro levels of institutional education. By consolidating the specific requirements in a framework for teacher educator professionalism in the age of AI, we highlight the necessity for continuous adaptation of teacher education institutions, ongoing multidisciplinary collaboration, and the provision of periodic professional development of educators. Finally, the chapter presents a concrete practical example and future research directions in AI and education with the aim to contribute to the advancement of quality education in the AI era.

description: We use images taken with the infrared channel of the Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to study the multiple main sequences (MSs) of NGC 2808. Below the turn off, the red, the middle, and the blue MS, previously detected from visual-band photometry, are visible over an interval of about 3.5 F160W magnitudes. The three MSs merge together at the level of the MS bend. At fainter magnitudes, the MS again splits into two components containing ~65% and ~35% of stars, with the most-populated MS being the bluest one. Theoretical isochrones suggest that the latter is connected to the red MS discovered in the optical color-magnitude diagram (CMD), and hence corresponds to the first stellar generation, having primordial helium and enhanced carbon and oxygen abundances. The less-populated MS in the faint part of the near-IR CMD is helium-rich and poor in carbon and oxygen, and it can be associated with the middle and the blue MS of the optical CMD. The finding that the photometric signature of abundance anticorrelation are also present in fully convective MS stars reinforces the inference that they have a primordial origin.

description: We numerically investigate the dynamics of orbits in 3D circumbinary phase-space as a function of binary eccentricity and mass fraction. We find that inclined circumbinary orbits in the elliptically-restricted three-body problem display a nodal libration mechanism in the longitude of the ascending node and in the inclination to the plane of the binary. We (i) analyse and quantify the behaviour of these orbits with reference to analytical work performed by Farago & Laskar (2010) and (ii) investigate the stability of these orbits over time. This work is the first dynamically aware analysis of the stability of circumbinary orbits across both binary mass fraction and binary eccentricity. This work also has implications for exoplanetary astronomy in the existence and determination of stable orbits around binary systems.

Can Up FCNC solve the $ΔA_{CP}$ puzzle?

description: We investigate the attempt using flavor violation gauge interaction in the up sector to explain the LHCb recently observed large $ΔA_{CP}$ ($A_{CP}(D^{0}\to K^{+}K^{-})-A_{CP}(D^{0}\to π^{+}π^{-})$). We study an Abelian model that only right-handed up quarks is charged under it and the 1-3 coupling is maximized. The simultaneous 1-3 2-3 mixing is realized by a quark mixing of 1-2 generation. Given the easy identification of top quark, the model can be directly tested by $ΔF=1$ and $ΔF=2$ processes at the hadron colliders as associated top production $g c \to t Z^{\prime}$ or same-sign top scattering $u u\to t t$. The direct search bounds are still consistent with the assumption that $ut$ and $ct$ couplings are equal but the same-sign top scattering bound is expected to be reached very soon. However, since there is no CKM-like suppression, the corresponding parameter space for generating $ΔA_{CP}$ is completely excluded by the $D^{0}-\bar{D}^{0}$ mixing. We conclude that the up FCNC type models cannot explain the $ΔA_{CP}$ while to be consistent with the $D^{0}-\bar{D}^{0}$ mixing constraint at the same time. On the other hand, a model as SM with fourth family extension has better chance to explain the large $ΔA_{CP}$ consistently.

description: Hard QCD results in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with jets from data recorded up to the end of 2010 by the CMS and ATLAS experiments at the LHC are reported. Inclusive jet and di-jet cross section measurements as well as observables sensitive to multi-jet activity are shown and compared to simulations based on leading log parton showers as well as NLO QCD predictions. Novel approaches to identify highly boosted massive final states by exploiting the jet substructure are tested on the dominant QCD background.

Electrospun fibres with polymer brush coatings for the creation of well–defined cell microenvironments
Creators: name: Rodda, Andrew Edwin
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis presents the development and initial testing of materials that were designed to study interactions between cells and their surrounding environment. These materials form an artificial microenvironment within which a range of properties can be precisely controlled. The materials take the form of polymer microfibres with coatings that allow highly specific stimulation of cells with specific molecules, while simultaneously preventing other non-specific interactions. Fibre matrices were electrospun from two synthetic polymers, developed during the project, that bore initiating groups for surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerisation (SI-ATRP). The first of these was similar in structure to polystyrene, a non-biodegradable polymer that is used in the majority of cell culture products. The second was derived from poly(ϵ-caprolactone), a biodegradable polymer that is commonly investigated for use in tissue engineering applications. SI-ATRP was then used to create a thin polymer brush coating on the macroinitiator substrates. The monomers used in this polymerisation were chosen to provide the substrates with an increased resistance to protein fouling and non-specific cell adhesion, and to include specific functional groups, with which other molecules could be covalently reacted and thereby attached to the fibres. Specifically, alkyne-bearing monomers were incorporated into the brush coating such that these could be reacted with azide- functional molecules via copper-mediated “click” chemistry. Preliminary studies showed that these substrates supported cell adhesion following the attachment of peptides that bore the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid cell adhesion motif, while surfaces without this peptide consistently resisted cell adhesion.

We will establish the global existence and asymptotic behavior of weak solutions for any $α>0$ and $γ>1$ under the assumption that the density function keeps a constant state at far fields. This enlarges the ranges of $α$ and $γ$ and improves the previous results presented by Jiu and Xin. As a result, in the case that $0

Analytical study of corroded steel-FRP confined concrete bond under fatigue cyclic loading
Creators: name: Abbas, Safeer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The steel-concrete bond and the cracking behaviour of concrete affect the performance of reinforced concrete structures. This is due to the fact that the transfer of forces between the steel and the concrete are accomplished through the bond. The bond between the steel and the concrete is affected by many factors such as corrosion of reinforcement, type of applied loading, and the confinement level. Reinforcement corrosion is one of the primary causes of the loss of steel-concrete bond. On the other hand, an accumulation of bond damage occurs due to the application of fatigue cyclic loading, as in the case of bridges and marine structures. It is known that fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) confinement improves the bond strength, even in the case of corroded reinforcing steel bars. The objective of this thesis was to develop an analytical tool for structural engineers to evaluate the corroded steel-FRP confined concrete bond under fatigue cyclic loading. Two models have been developed; 1) slip-fatigue model; and 2) bond stress-slip model. These models considered the effect of corrosion of reinforcement, the external confinement provided by the FRP sheets, and the fatigue cyclic loading. Slip after ‘N’ number of cycles for unwrapped and FRP wrapped cases were developed as a function of the initial slip, the final slip, and the fatigue bond life. These models were capable of capturing the experimental behaviour reported in the literature. Slip-life models for unwrapped and FRP wrapped beam specimens were developed using non linear regression analysis. Harajli et al. (2004) static bond stress-slip law was modified in order to model the bond stress-slip behaviour for the unwrapped and FRP wrapped beam specimen under monotonic and cyclic loading. The proposed cyclic bond stress-slip behaviour followed the monotonic bond stress-slip envelope and satisfactorily modeled the experimental behaviour. From the principles of statics of bond and using the derived cyclic bond stress-slip envelope, an equation to calculate the required development length of steel reinforcement was derived. The proposed equation is dependent on the material and the geometrical properties of a structural member. The derived equation was able to satisfactory predict the fatigue bond life.

Essays on Field Experiments in Behavioral Economics

Subjects: subject: field experiment
subject: digital public goods
subject: Wikipedia
subject: metadata
subject: audit study
subject: Economics
subject: Business and Economics

description: This dissertation contains three essays in behavioral and experimental economics based on three field experiments. Chapter 1 provides an overview. The discussions in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 are both framed around the provision of digital public goods. Chapter 4 covers an audit study conducted on Indeed.com. Chapter 2 examines Wikipedia's gender gap using a student population. Upon self-replicating the experiment for three consecutive years, we do not find gender differences in the entry stage. This resolves the concern that the gender gap in editing Wikipedia is introduced when new editors are first invited to edit on Wikipedia and calls for a more targeted effort to enhance the retention of female editors on Wikipedia. Chapter 3 documents a large-scale field experiment in which domain experts (economists) were invited to provide metadata information for their datasets hosted on a public data and code repository, openICPSR. We find that reminding the experts in this experiment of the private or public benefits of contributing their metadata is not as effective as simply explaining why the metadata are being collecting, the benefits of which include the enhanced findability of the dataset and potential future reuse opportunities. Chapter 4 is based on an audit study conducted before the pandemic at a time when the unemployment rate was at an historic low and gig work opportunities were beginning to become a popular on-demand alternative work opportunity for the general population. Targeted at the population of low-skilled workers, this experiment documents that having gig-work experience during unemployment spells does not significantly reduce the likelihood of receiving a callback during a job search process.

description: We present a new method to determine the age spread of resolved stellar populations in a starburst cluster. The method relies on a two-step process. In the first step, kinematic members of the cluster are identified based on multi-epoch astrometric monitoring. In the second step, a Bayesian analysis is carried out, comparing the observed photometric sequence of cluster members with sets of theoretical isochrones. When applying this methodology to optical and near-infrared high angular resolution Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and adaptive optics observations of the ~5 Myr old starburst cluster Westerlund 1 and ~2 Myr old starburst cluster NGC 3603 YC, we derive upper limits for the age spreads of 0.4 and 0.1 Myr, respectively. The results strongly suggest that star formation in these starburst clusters happened almost instantaneously.

A laboratory permeameter study of geotextile-soil retention in cyclic flow
Creators: name: Srikongsri, Atitep
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In the absence of an extensive body of laboratory and field data, empirical criteria for soil retention in dynamic or cyclic flow are not yet well-defined with reference to a margin of safety. A performance-based approach is taken in this study: the method of investigation involves laboratory tests on a total of seven geotextiles (needle-punched nonwoven and woven materials) and a total of four uniformly-graded soils (non-plastic fine sand and coarse silt). Filtration compatibility in unidirectional and cyclic flow reversal is evaluated using two rigid-wall permeameters: a small bench-mounted device, and a large floor-mounted device. Analysis of the results addresses the effects of specimen size (small and large), sidewall friction and stress distribution, and examines the influence of filter ratio (AOS/Dn), hydraulic gradient (i) and confining stress (σʹ) over a range of cyclic flow reversal times or wave period (T). A novel analytical framework is proposed from the permeameter test results, to unify AOS/Dn and a hydromechanical index that accounts for the combined effect of hydraulic gradient and confining stress. The framework provides a distinction between the benign actions of mass loss through the geotextile by washout, in contrast to the more problematic action of piping. A filter ratio AOS/D₈₅ appears better-suited to interpretation of the data than AOS/D₅₀. The framework is used to examine the margin of safety inherent in current design guidance. Independent verification of the framework through comparison with other laboratory studies, and a consideration of field observations reported by others, leads to a recommendation that AOS/D₈₅ ≤ 1 to address undue conservatism in design guidance.

description: We analyze the HCO+ 3-2 and H13CO+ 3-2 line profiles of 27 high-mass star-forming regions to identify asymmetries that are suggestive of mass inflow. Three quantitative measures of line asymmetry are used to indicate whether a line profile is blue, red or neither - the ratio of the temperature of the blue and red peaks, the line skew and the dimensionless parameter delta_v. We find nine HCO+ 3-2 line profiles with a significant blue asymmetry and four with significant red asymmetric profiles. Comparing our HCO+ 3-2 results to HCN 3-2 observations from Wu et al. (2003, 2010), we find that eight of the blue and three of red have profiles with the same asymmetry in HCN. The eight sources with blue asymmetries in both tracers are considered strong candidates for inflow. Quantitative measures of the asymmetry (e.g. delta_v) tend to be larger for HCN. This, combined with possible HCO+ abundance enhancements in outflows, suggests that HCN may be a better tracer of inflow. Understanding the behavior of common molecular tracers like HCO+ in clumps of different masses is important for properly analyzing the line profiles seen in a sample of sources representing a broad range of clump masses. Such studies will soon be possible with the large number of sources with possible self-absorption seen in spectroscopic follow-up observations of clumps identified in the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey.

description: This paper revisits and reanalyses data from a study carried out in the further education and training sector in the Republic of Ireland to investigate (1) how adults access and participate in numeracy courses and (2) how adult numeracy provision might support active citizenship. We analysed 45 interviews with adult education providers, adult numeracy tutors, and adult learners to identify themes that connect adult numeracy with a human rights conception of citizenship as access to and participation in economic, social, and community life. This analysis found that the most common barriers to accessing adult numeracy courses arose from dispositional factors relating to fear, anxiety and lack of confidence with mathematics, largely due to negative experiences in formal schooling. To overcome these barriers, adults’ participation in numeracy courses was encouraged by integrating numeracy learning activities into real world contexts in a non-threatening learning environment. The interview analysis also illustrated ways in which adult numeracy education supported active citizenship in the economic, social, and community spheres, by (i) enhancing financial literacy and preparing adults for employment; (ii) fostering individual empowerment, family learning and social inclusion; and (iii) enabling civic engagement. Policies for promoting adult education typically aim to develop active citizenship, but without specifying how this is to be achieved. Our study is valuable because it illuminates potential connections between citizenship and numeracy as a dimension of adult education that is separate from literacy. The findings lead to recommendations for translating national and international policy frameworks into research-informed adult education programs.

description: Bogoliubov's theory states that self-interaction effects in Bose-Einstein condensates produce a characteristic linear dispersion at low momenta. One of the curious features of Bogoliubov's theory is that the new quasiparticles in the system are linear combinations of creation and destruction operators of the bosons. In exciton-polariton condensates, this gives the possibility of directly observing the negative branch of the Bogoliubov dispersion in the photoluminescence (PL) emission. Here we theoretically examine the PL spectra of exciton-polariton condensates taking into account of reservoir effects. At sufficiently high excitation densities, the negative dispersion becomes visible. We also discuss the possibility for relaxation oscillations to occur under conditions of strong reservoir coupling. This is found to give a secondary mechanism for making the negative branch visible.
The phenomenological approach to modeling the dark energy

description: In this mini-review we discuss first why we should investigate cosmological models beyond LCDM. We then show how to describe dark energy or modified gravity models in a fluid language with the help of one background and two perturbation quantities. We review a range of dark energy models and study how they fit into the phenomenological framework, including generalizations like phantom crossing, sound speeds different from c and non-zero anisotropic stress, and how these effective quantities are linked to the underlying physical models. We also discuss the limits of what can be measured with cosmological data, and some challenges for the framework.

Electron-phonon pairing mechanism: cuprates with high value of the critical temperature

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: The model for the cuprates based on the modified electron-phonon pairing mechanism has been tested. For this purpose, the superconductors with high value of the critical temperature have been taken into consideration. In particular: ${\rm YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-y}}$, ${\rm HgBa_{2}CuO_{4+y}}$, ${\rm HgBa_{2}Cu_{1-x}Zn_{x}O_{4+y}}$, and ${\rm HgBa_{2}Ca_{2}Cu_{3}O_{8+y}}$. It has been shown that the dependence of the ratio $R_{1}\equiv 2Δ_{tot}^{(0)}/k_{B}T_{C}$ on the doping ($p$) can be properly predicted in the framework of the presented theory; the symbol $Δ_{tot}^{(0)}$ denotes the energy gap amplitude at the temperature of zero Kelvin, and $T_{C}$ is the critical temperature. The numerical results have been supplemented by the formula which describes the function $R_{1}(p)$.

description: In this paper, we will give a short review on \textit{quantum spring}, which is a Casimir effect from the helix boundary condition that proposed in our earlier works. The Casimir force parallel to the axis of the helix behaves very much like the force on a spring that obeys the Hooke's law when the ratio $r$ of the pitch to the circumference of the helix is small, but in this case, the force comes from a quantum effect, so we would like to call it \textit{quantum spring}. On the other hand, the force perpendicular to the axis decreases monotonically with the increasing of the ratio $r$. Both forces are attractive and their behaviors are the same in two and three dimensions.

description: Die Perspektive der Klassenlehrperson auf die Zusammenarbeit mit den verschiedenen Lehrpersonen, die ebenfalls ihre Primarklasse unterrichten (Klassenteam), steht im Fokus dieser Fragebogenstudie. Die befragten 181 Klassenlehrpersonen arbeiten mit bis zu zehn weiteren Beteiligten zusammen (Median = 5). Struktur- und Prozessqualität der Kooperation hängen mit wahrgenommenen Wirkungen (Arbeits- und Sozialverhalten der Schülerinnen und Schüler, Wohlbefinden der Lehrperson) zusammen. Eine Clusteranalyse zeigt Unterschiede in der Prozessqualität der Kooperation mit den verschiedenen Klassenteambeteiligten. Es wird diskutiert, wie Kooperation in Klassenteams in der Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung thematisiert werden kann.

description: Adaptive models of opinion formation among humans can display a fragmentation transition, where a social network breaks into disconnected components. Here, we investigate this transition in a class of models with arbitrary number of opinions. In contrast to previous work we do not assume that opinions are equidistant or arranged on a one-dimensional conceptual axis. Our investigation reveals detailed analytical results on fragmentations in a three-opinion model, which are confirmed by agent-based simulations. Furthermore, we show that in certain models the number of opinions can be reduced without affecting the fragmentation points.

Methodology for the seismic risk assessment of low-rise school buildings in British Columbia
Creators: name: Pina, Freddy E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis presents a methodology for the seismic risk assessment and risk reduction of schools in British Columbia. The methodology permits school buildings to be ranked by risk levels, and includes information that allows designers to establish the seismic capacity of school buildings and to select appropriate retrofit options. This research includes the treatment of seismic hazard in the province by reference to different types of earthquakes that affect the region, and the development of an extensive database of structural performance of typical school buildings for different types of earthquakes and levels of shaking. The seismic hazard in the province is due to crustal, subcrustal and subduction earthquakes. The ground motion characteristics and the rates of occurrences of these different types of earthquakes are sufficiently different that it justifies assessing their effects separately in the risk calculations. The results of probabilistic seismic hazard analyzes have been combined with incremental nonlinear dynamic analyzes of a variety of structural systems subjected to the three earthquake types. A suite of thirty ground motions representative of these earthquakes has been used for the calculation of seismic risk. This process resulted in a large database of response of structural systems on different types of soils. The database was developed first for systems on firm soils (Site Class C). To account for soft soils (Site Class D) a simplified procedure was developed to convert structural performance on Class C sites to that on Class D sites. This thesis presents information that contributes to the state of knowledge in seismic risk in two forms: research and engineering practice. It provides a better understanding of how the risk in a region can be deaggregated according to the earthquake types, how representative ground motions for each earthquake type can be selected, and how the site conditions can be incorporated in probabilistic risk assessment. The contribution to engineering practice is the development of a ready-to-use methodology for risk assessment and for determining whether or not a retrofit is required for a giving type of structure on a certain type of soil and in a given seismic region.
