35. The Dog that Doesn't Bark: Federal Regulation of Industrial Air Pollution in Canada

Resource Type:: Other
Creator:: Beale, Mike
Description:: More about the Regulatory Governance Initiative (RGI): https://carleton.ca/rgi
Abstract:: In a well-known Sherlock Holmes story, Holmes solved a murder mystery by pointing to the [“curious incident of the dog in the night-time”]( https://brieflywriting.com/2012/07/25/the-dog-that-didnt-bark-what-we-can-learn-from-sir-arthur-conan-doyle-about-using-the-absence-of-expected-facts/). “The dog did nothing in the night-time”, countered the Scotland Yard detective on the case. “That was the curious incident” replied Holmes. [Health Canada]( https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/healthy-living/2021-health-effects-indoor-air-pollution.html) estimates that air pollution accounts for 15,300 premature deaths annually in Canada. All the key air pollutants are found on Canada’s [list of toxic substances]( https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/canadian-environmental-protection-act-registry/substances-list/toxic.html), giving Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) full authority to regulate emissions. And yet there are only a handful of federal regulations addressing air pollution from industrial/stationary sources. This case study addresses the question – why doesn’t the dog bark?

36. Pro-active strategies for the frugal feeding problem in wireless sensor networks

Resource Type:: Conference Proceeding
Creator:: Lanthier, Mark, Velazquez, Elio, and Santoro, Nicola
Abstract:: This paper proposes a pro-active solution to the Frugal Feeding Problem (FFP) in Wireless Sensor Networks. The FFP attempts to find energy-efficient routes for a mobile service entity to rendezvous with each member of a team of mobile robots. Although the complexity of the FFP is similar to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), we propose an efficient solution, completely distributed and localized for the case of a fixed rendezvous location (i.e., service facility with limited number of docking ports) and mobile capable entities (sensors). Our pro-active solution reduces the FFP to finding energy-efficient routes in a dynamic Compass Directed unit Graph (CDG). The proposed CDG incorporates ideas from forward progress routing and the directionality of compass routing in an energy-aware unit sub-graph. Navigating the CDG guarantees that each sensor will reach the rendezvous location in a finite number of steps. The ultimate goal of our solution is to achieve energy equilibrium (i.e., no further sensor losses due to energy starvation) by optimizing the use of the shared resource (recharge station). We also examine the impact of critical parameters such as transmission range, cost of mobility and sensor knowledge in the overall performance.

37. Simultaneous corona poling of multiple glass layers for enhanced effective second-order optical nonlinearities

Resource Type:: Article
Creator:: Blanchetiere, C., Jacob, S., Callender, C. L., Albert, Jacques, Yadav, Ksenia, and Smelser, Christopher W.
Abstract:: Silica-based thin-film multilayers are investigated as a means to enhance the effective second-order nonlinearity induced in silica glass structures by corona poling. Structures consisting of phosphorus-doped and undoped silica glass layers exhibit second harmonic generation (SHG) that is higher by an order of magnitude compared to the SHG in bulk silica glass poled under the same conditions. When the poled structure consists of two multilayered stacks separated in space, the stacks exhibit comparable poling-induced nonlinearities. This result suggests that the poling voltage is divided between the two stacks such that simultaneous poling of multiple regions within the sample is realized.

38. Mobile agent rendezvous in a synchronous torus

Resource Type:: Conference Proceeding
Creator:: Markou, Euripides, Kranakis, Evangelos, and Krizanc, Danny
Abstract:: We consider the rendezvous problem for identical mobile agents (i.e., running the same deterministic algorithm) with tokens in a synchronous torus with a sense of direction and show that there is a striking computational difference between one and more tokens. More specifically, we show that 1) two agents with a constant number of unmovable tokens, or with one movable token, each cannot rendezvous if they have o(log n) memory, while they can perform rendezvous with detection as long as they have one unmovable token and O(log n) memory; in contrast, 2) when two agents have two movable tokens each then rendezvous (respectively, rendezvous with detection) is possible with constant memory in an arbitrary n × m (respectively, n × n) torus; and finally, 3) two agents with three movable tokens each and constant memory can perform rendezvous with detection in a n × m torus. This is the first publication in the literature that studies tradeoffs between the number of tokens, memory and knowledge the agents need in order to meet in such a network.

39. An identification-robust test for time-varying parameters in the dynamics of energy prices

Resource Type:: Article
Creator:: Khalaf, Lynda A., Kichian, Maral, Bernard, Jean-Thomas, and Dufour, Jean-Marie
Abstract:: We test for the presence of time-varying parameters (TVP) in the long-run dynamics of energy prices for oil, natural gas and coal, within a standard class of mean-reverting models. We also propose residual-based diagnostic tests and examine out-of-sample forecasts. In-sample LR tests support the TVP model for coal and gas but not for oil, though companion diagnostics suggest that the model is too restrictive to conclusively fit the data. Out-of-sample analysis suggests a random-walk specification for oil price, and TVP models for both real-time forecasting in the case of gas and long-run forecasting in the case of coal.
