A Surrogate Modelling Methodology To Predict Energy Use For Multiple Single-Family Century Home Archetypes In Toronto
Authors: Lawrence Cameron Rochon
Published: October 2021

This research investigates the application of surrogate modelling to improve the energy performance of single-family homes. EnergyPlus was used to simulate 6000 energy models for four different semi-detached and detached century archetypes in Toronto, ON. Multivariate regression and a novel forward stepwise selection methodology were used to develop the surrogate models for each archetype. These models predicted energy use between 7.02%- 7.54% error. A combined model that contained all four archetypes was developed to determine if a single model can replace multiple models. This model predicted annual energy use with 7.03% error and the number of samples required per archetype was reduced by a factor of 3-4. Elastic net regression was tested and found to be equally as effective as the proposed stepwise selection methodology. The findings of this research support the future application of surrogate modelling as a powerful tool to develop bottom-up archetype models for century homes in Toronto, ON.
Acoustic Characterization Of Sudan Black Nanobubbles For Multimodal Ultrasound & Photoacoustic Imaging
Authors: Wegierak Danad
Published: October 2021

Dyed, shelled, nanobubbles (NBs) have recently been proposed as contrast agents for multimodal ultrasound-photoacoustic (US-PA) imaging. However, changes to the shell composition due to the presence of the dye can modify the response of bubbles to ultrasound. In this work, the effects of the dye, Sudan Black B, on a formulation of lipid shelled NBs are studied. Formulations were produced with increasing concentration of Sudan Black B. The size and concentration of activated NBs were tested. The surface tension of bulk lipid solution was measured using pendant drop tensiometry and activated bubble solutions were measured for single bubble and bubble population response to incident ultrasound. While results show no statistically significant effect of Sudan Black concentration on bubble concentration or size, surface tension increased linearly with dye concentration to a maximum increase of 13%. With the addition of Sudan Black B, single bubble experiments show an increase in the contribution of bubble growth signals, a decrease in contribution of nonlinear signals, and a decrease in bubble destruction. The results presented in this work indicate that the presence of Sudan Black B in the lipid shell of a nanobubble may increase the shell permeability impacting stability of the bubble population and their potential for multimodal US-PA imaging.
Sensing And Detecting Small-Scale Events Using Geosocial Media Data
Authors: Xu Shishuo
Published: October 2021

Small-scale events involve interactive human movement in limited space and time. Social media platforms possibly generate large amount of geospatially-referenced information related to small-scale events. It benefits individuals, management departments, and urban systems if small-scale events can be timely detected from social media platforms, where measuring the abnormal patterns of human movement to discover events and analyzing associated texts to interpret the reasons behind abnormal movement are two keys. Through investigating how people move as different events occur and measuring the patterns on social media platforms, small-scale events can be generally classified into two types, namely type I events with abrupt patterns and type II events with random occurrence of key factors, where social events and traffic events are representative correspondingly.

Despite many studies have been conducted to detect social events and traffic events using
geosocial media data, there still are some un-answered questions requiring further research. Most
existing studies did not identify occurring events from a full coverage of spatial, temporal, and
semantic perspectives. Studies concerning social event detection lack efficient semantic analysis summarizing event content to infer the reasons driving the abnormal movement. The typical
classification-based method regarding traffic event detection lacks investigation on how the spatiotemporal distribution of traffic relevant posts associate with the occurring traffic events, and
simply assigns the detected events with predefined categories, missing events that indicate traffic
anomalies but go beyond the predetermined categories.

In this thesis, spatial-temporal-semantic approaches are proposed to measure spatiotemporal
patterns of posts and users of social media platforms to capture abnormal human movement, and
analyze the content of associated posts to mine the reasons driving the movement. A variety of
techniques including machine learning, natural language processing, and spatiotemporal analysis
are adopted to realize effective detection. Based on one-year Twitter data collected in Toronto,
2014 Toronto International Film Festival and traffic anomaly detection are selected as two case
studies to evaluate the performance of proposed approaches. Through comparing with the ground
truth data, the result reveals that more than 80% of the detected events do refer to real-world events,
which illustrates the feasibility and efficiency of proposed approaches.

A Crosscutting Three-Modes-Of-Operation Unique LiDAR-Based 3D Mapping System Generic Framework Architecture, Uncertainty Predictive Model And SfM Augmentation
Authors: Elshorbagy Ashraf Mohamed Abdelaziz
Published: October 2021

The need for 3D mapping is on the rise to meet the requirements of a growing and diverse group of end-users. Existing 3D mapping systems, which have been classified according to the mode of operation as stationary, mobile and aerial, tend to serve one mode of operation only and are considered cost-prohibitive for many end-users. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have experienced rapid growth since their introduction and their usage in 3D mapping is likewise accelerating at a rapid pace. This dissertation presents the design, development and implementation of a LiDAR-based generic 3D mapping system that can be used in the three mapping modes (stationary, mobile and UAV-based). The system provides direct georeferencing capabilities through optimized selected multimodal sensors. A fundamental part of this dissertation is the smart integration of the 3D mapping system components both on the hardware and software levels, along with a new mapping scheme that enables platform-independent deployment ability.

This research project also presents a rigorous non-linear uncertainty predictive model for the generic developed system and introduces a very low-cost variant of the system to be used in stationary and handheld mode. The developed multipurpose mapping system is tested in different environments for the three modes of operation, demonstrating its practicality, versatility and ease of deployment. To maximize the ease of deployment for diverse end-users, careful consideration
is given to the mapping system components so that the developed system is ultra-lightweight,
compact, and multipurpose. Additionally, this dissertation proposes a colorization workflow to
make use of available optical imagery in the colorization process of the LiDAR point cloud. Lastly,
the study compares two different 3D mapping approaches: 3D LiDAR-based mapping and a low-cost optical-based 3D structure from motion (SfM) workflow. The comparison is achieved by
performing a real-world case study of digital surface model (DSM) generation by the two
aforementioned approaches. Real-world testing that includes qualitative and quantitative
validation against accurate state-of-the-art high-end LiDAR equipment proves the successful
design, development and deployment of the developed crosscutting LiDAR-based 3D mapping
system.
Finite Element Evaluation Of Energy Dissipating Steel Plate Fuse Links
Authors: Shah Ahmad Siar Mahmood
Published: October 2021

Steel plate devices are widely used for providing energy dissipation in earthquake resistant structures. The cyclic response of these steel plate fuses varies depending on different design factors related to the fuse link geometry or its material property. This research presents a numerical study on the cyclic response of steel plate fuses with butterfly-shaped and straight shear links. Finite element models are first developed and validated against past experimental studies. A sensitivity study using the design-of-experiment method is performed to statistically determine the effects of different design parameters on the cyclic response of steel plate shear links. Seven design factors related to the material or geometry of steel plate fuses are considered as input factors. The cyclic response of fuses is examined in terms of initial stiffness, yield strength, ultimate stiffness, effective damping, maximum strength, and ductility. From the results of the sensitivity analysis, it is shown that the overall cyclic behavior of steel plate fuses is most significantly influenced by the fuse link end-width and thickness while the fuse link length and mid-width are partially influential on some of the cyclic responses. In addition, an optimization study is performed to determine the optimal ranges for the design factors that result in simultaneous response optimization conditions, such as maximized energy dissipation capability and ductility. Predictive equations are also developed and validated for the cyclic response characteristics of steel plate shear links. Based on the confirmation runs, it is believed that these equations can accurately predict the acquired responses for steel plate fuse links.
Anaerobic Co-Digestion Of Multiple Feedstocks For Biomethane Recover- The Impact Of Lipids:Proteins:Carbohydrates Ratio
Authors: Rabii Anahita
Published: October 2021

Municipalities are facing increasing challenges regarding management and disposal of solid waste. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of municipal biowaste enables waste reduction and biogas production that can be utilized as a renewable source of energy for heat and power generation. Anaerobic co-digestion (AnCoD) enhances the performance of conventional mono-digestion. The mixing ratio of the feedstocks is an important criterion in AnCoD design which is typically determined based on the optimum carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio within the range of 25-30 or COD:N ratio in the range of 50-140. However, literature has shown contradictory results for the optimum C:N and COD:N ratios.

Therefore, the main objective of this study was to primarily investigate the influence of the mixing ratio of the feedstocks including thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS), manure and source separated organics (SSO) on improving biomethane production and introducing a new methodology for optimizing the mixing ratio in AnCoD based on the lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates contents as the three main compounds existing in biowaste. The hydrolysis/acidification performance in AnCoD of manure, TWAS and SSO individually and in different combinations was also investigated. This study has introduced an empirical model to explain the relationship between the biomethane production and lipids: proteins: carbohydrates ratio of the feedstocks in anaerobic co-digestion of TWAS, manure and SSO. Among the binary ad ternary combinations, the ternary co-digestion of TWAS/manure/ SSO at the mixing ratio of 2:4:4 and lipids: proteins: carbohydrates ratio of 1:3:12 resulted in the maximum ultimate methane production. The maximum methane yield of 363 ml CH4/g COD added corresponded to co-digestion of manure/SSO at the mixing ratio of 7:3. The maximum hydrolysis rate corresponded to the co-digestion of TWAS/manure at the ratio of 9:1. Overall, the best performance in both hydrolysis and methanogenesis was achieved by the co-digestion of TWAS with SSO at the ratio of 3:7 as well as TWAS/manure/SSO at the ratio of 2:4:4 compared to other feedstock mixes. It was observed that the proposed second order polynomial model could describe the relationship between biomethane production and lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates content of the feedstock.

University of Harapan Medan is one of the private universities in North Sumatra which has computer-based study programs such as Informatics Engineering and Information Systems. Every year this college receives many registrations from students who have completed their education at the school stage. The large number of incoming student data makes it difficult for the admin to select new students who will register. In this study using the C4.5 algorithm data mining method to map the pattern of student admissions selection in the field of Engineering and computers. The attributes used are the average value of report cards (high, enough, low), basic academic ability tests (very high, high, medium, low, very low), basic computer knowledge tests (very high, high, enough, low, very low) and interviews (good, bad). Data mining is a mathematical calculation process that uses algorithms and requires large data. While the C4.5 algorithm is an algorithm that processes data by calculating entrophy and information gain, where after the calculation process is carried out, those who get the largest information gain value will become nodes and branches. This C4.5 algorithm will describe a decision tree that will form a pattern in student selection. The results of this study indicate that in mapping the selection pattern of interview attributes into level 1 nodes, the attributes of the basic computer knowledge test become the level 1 branch, the attributes of the basic academic ability test become the level 2 branch and the attribute average value of report cards becomes the level 3 branch.

Se presenta un estudio de indicadores de desempeño de un sensor óptico de bajo costo de material particulado, a partir de pruebas de laboratorio, simulaciones con un enfoque físico y comparaciones con un equipo calibrado. Se halló información valiosa sobre las limitaciones del sensor y se desarrolló un código de control para advertir al usuario sobre datos sospechosos.
Japanese Encephalitis
Authors: Bender Wolfgang
Published: October 2021

Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is an endemic vector-borne (mosquitoes) zoonotic flavivirus disease in Asia with severe neurological manifestations (case fatality rate CFR 20–30%; 30–50% of survivors with serious sequelae).

Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia and exposes an estimated 3 billion people to the risk of infection. Other regions of the world have conditions suiting JEV without circulation of the virus (yet).

Most JEV infections are asymptomatic or only cause mild symptoms. 1 in 250 infections progresses to severe disease for which no specific treatment is yet available.

Neutralizing antibodies develop after infection. In endemic areas this occurs usually during childhood followed by subclinical re-exposure with life-long immunity protecting against disease. Disease in adult populations in endemic areas is rare.

General prevention includes avoidance of mosquito bites, e.g., repellents, long-sleeved clothes, coils and vaporizers.

Vaccine prevention: Neutralizing antibodies (PRNT50 titer ≥ 1:10) is the correlate of protection. Vaccines currently used are live attenuated JE vaccines and recombinant chimeric JE vaccines (mostly in endemic countries) and cell culture-derived inactivated JE vaccines (travelers, endemic countries).

As animal reservoirs of the JEV cannot be eradicated, universal vaccination of humans can control the disease in humans. Optimal JE control in endemic countries is limited by issues around vaccine supply, surveillance (burden of disease underestimation), and resource competition / prioritization.

The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between self-reported hand hygiene beliefs and hand hygiene practices in nursing students. This study used a predictive correlational design and conducted at a nursing department of a state university in Turkey. A total of 305 nursing students who were selected by convenience sampling, had received at least one year of nursing education and had clinical practice experience were surveyed. The data were collected by a sociodemographic data collection form, the "Hand Hygiene Beliefs Scale" and the "Hand Hygiene Practice Inventory". Frequency analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, correlation analysis and structural equation modelling were used in data analysis. The total mean scores of the students in the Hand Hygiene Beliefs Scale and the Hand Hygiene Practice Inventory were 92.53±7.58 and 65.36±4.92, respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between hand hygiene beliefs and practices (r =.42; p

Exosomes are nanoscale membrane vesicles secreted by almost all kinds of cells and stably existing in the body. Due to their unique properties, exosomes can be used in biomedical research as regenerative preparations or drug delivery vehicles. In this study, an anion exchange (AIEX) chromatography-based protocol for isolation of extracellular vesicles from a cell-conditioned medium was developed. The exosome isolation method based on AIEX chromatography overperforms the canonical ultracentrifugation-based isolation method in terms of its capability of large-volume processing.

Transformative learning theory and migration
Authors: Eschenbacher Saskia
Published: October 2021

This paper introduces the concept of transformative conversation inspired by Arcillas concept of edifying conversation, as an extension of TL theorys notion of discourse, in the context of adult education and migration. By contrasting the idea of exchanging arguments with opening space for conversation and ones private quest for meaning and self-understanding, I introduce the idea of becoming a fellow transformative conversationalist as an appropriate attitude for promoting TL. I will (1) differentiate between an instrumental and a transformative notion of learning in the context of migration; (2) engage Rorty in a conversation with TL theory; (3) introduce Arcillas concept of edifying conversation to join and broaden the ongoing conversation and develop the concept of transformative conversation.

Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the leading cause of childhood-onset physical disability. Children with CP often have impaired upper limb (UL) function. Constraint-induced therapy (CIT) is one of the most effective UL interventions for children with unilateral CP. However, concerns about CIT for children have been repeatedly raised due to frustration caused by restraint of the child’s less-affected UL and lack of motivation for the intensive protocol. Virtual reality (VR), which can mitigate the disadvantages of CIT, potentially can be used as an alternative mediator for implementing CIT. Therefore, we developed a VR-based CIT program for children with CP using the Kinect system.

Aims: The feasibility of the Kinect-based CIT program was evaluated for children with unilateral CP using a two-phase study design.

Materials and Methods: In phase 1, ten children with unilateral CP were recruited. To confirm the achievement of the motor training goals, maximal UL joint angles were evaluated during gameplay. To evaluate children’s perceptions of the game, a questionnaire was used. In phase 2, eight children with unilateral CP were recruited and received an 8 weeks Kinect-based CIT intervention. Performance scores of the game and outcomes of the box and block test (BBT) were recorded weekly.

Results: In phase 1, results supported that the design of the program was CIT-specific and was motivational for children with unilateral CP. In phase 2, game performance and the BBT scores began showing stable improvements in the fifth week of intervention.

Conclusion: It suggested the Kinect-based CIT program was beneficial to the motor function of the affected UL for children with unilateral CP. According to the results of this feasibility study, larger and controlled effectiveness studies of the Kinect-based CIT program can be conducted to further improve its clinical utility.
