description: We search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) in the newly released 11 year data set from the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav). While we find no evidence for a GWB, we place constraints on a population of inspiraling supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries, a network of decaying cosmic strings, and a primordial GWB. For the first time, we find that the GWB constraints are sensitive to the solar system ephemeris (SSE) model used and that SSE errors can mimic a GWB signal. We developed an approach that bridges systematic SSE differences, producing the first pulsar-timing array (PTA) constraints that are robust against SSE errors. We thus place a 95% upper limit on the GW-strain amplitude of A GWB

description: Pubblicato sul «Figaro» dell’1 febbraio 1907 e poi nel volume dei Pastiches et melanges del 1919, Sentiments filiaux d’un parricide racconta la tragica fine di Henri van Blarenberghe, esponente dell’alta borghesia parigina e conoscente di Proust, che in un accesso di follia uccise la madre per poi suicidarsi. Si propongono una nuova traduzione italiana dell’articolo – con il finale che contro la volontà di Proust fu omesso nell’edizione sul «Figaro» e che non fu reintrodotto nella successiva edizione in volume – e un’introduzione che, raccogliendo alcuni spunti dell’articolo, tocca il tema della distinzione tra cronaca e finzione letteraria.

description: Beta-hemolytic streptococci cause a variety of infectious diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality. A key factor for successful infection is host colonization, which can be difficult in a multispecies environment. Secreting bacteriocins can be beneficial during this process. Bacteriocins are small, ribosomally produced, antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria to inhibit the growth of other, typically closely related, bacteria. In this systematic review, bacteriocin production and regulation of beta-hemolytic streptococci was surveyed. While Streptococcus pyogenes produces eight different bacteriocins (Streptococcin A-FF22/A-M49, Streptin, Salivaricin A, SpbMN, Blp1, Blp2, Streptococcin A-M57), only one bacteriocin of Streptococcus agalactiae (Agalacticin = Nisin P) and one of Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (Dysgalacticin) has been described. Expression of class I bacteriocins is regulated by a two-component system, typically with autoinduction by the bacteriocin itself. In contrast, a separate quorum sensing system regulates expression of class II bacteriocins. Both identified class III bacteriocins are plasmid-encoded and regulation has not been elucidated.

description: This article presents some reflections on the concepts, terminology, and epistemological grounds of narrative theory. Our remarks are focused on the proposals advanced at the first RRN conference and they concern in particular two issues: the theoretical difference between classical and postclassical narratology and the paradigms of the contemporary debate. In the first part of the paper we focus on the definitional task of narrative theory; in the second part we describe the epistemology of and the theories built on two opposite paradigms: the mimetic and the constructivist. Our conclusions highlight the continuity and the break points between contemporary theories, soliciting narratologists to answer to the many questions raised.

Grassroots Women's Organizations in Rural India: Promoting Social Change Through Self-Help Groups
Creators: name: Gioia, Milena
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2012
Subjects: Women's Organizations in Rural India:
Self-Help Groups in Rural India
social awareness in women
access to credit for women

description: Development work focused on gender equality usually concentrates on easily measurable practical needs, but rarely on structural change and social justice. The purpose of the present research is to analyze a women’s grassroots organization’s (MBUP) role in promoting social change through Self-help groups, a medium commonly used to give women access to credit. The analysis explores how collective action can bring about structural change to oppressive gender norms. Drawing on a power-conscious feminist approach, the study involves 32 in depth qualitative interviews. The findings show that MBUP is promoting social change and women’s rights in certain ways, namely in creating social awareness in women, access to information for women, and active citizenship in women. However, the organization is limited in encouraging systemic change through the promotion of collective struggle. Moreover, while the organization is inclusive and displays diversity in the entirety of its structure, its critical introspection remains limited.
Reconceptualizing Narratology. Arguments for a Functionalist and Constructivist Approach to Narrative
Creators: name: Sternberg, Meir
Publisher: name: Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia - Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: This long conversation with Meir Sternberg focuses on some crucial points in narrative theory. Special attention is given, in the first part, to the historical evolution of narrative studies, as well as to the theoretical differences between different paradigms, form Aristotle, through French structuralism, to the present days; in the second part he centers on the explanation of his constructivist ant anti-mimetic model and on the difference with other approaches to narrative studies. Providing two fundamental arguments against what he calls «objectivist approaches», he demonstrates the validity and the theoretical value of some of his most thought-provoking proposals, such as the Proteus Principle and the universals of narrative. Thanks to its explanatory power the interview constitutes a simple introduction to Sternberg’s functional-rhetorical approach and a glimpse at the editorial policy of the journal «Poetics Today».

description: Parmi les nombreux sujets du débat contemporain à propos de la théorie narrative et de la narratologie, deux paradigmes fondamentaux ont récemment été mis en évidence : le paradigme mimétique ou référentiel, et le paradigme anti-mimétique ou constructiviste. Les différences et les tensions apparues entre les deux portent encore une fois sur la conception du récit et de ses éléments : comment fait-on pour théoriser les relations entre fabula et sujet ? Quel rapport y a-t-il entre les éléments de la séquence, les effets de la narration et nos capacités cognitives ? Pour éclaircir ces problèmes, Raphaël Baroni répond à certaines questions fondamentales de la théorie narrative. L’auteur de La tension narrative et de L’œuvre du temps, discerne tout d’abord le plan sur lequel reposent les difficultés, à savoir la définition de « séquence » ou d’« intrigue ». Il esquisse, ensuite, une perspective théorique apte à surmonter de tels obstacles. En examinant les relations entre discordance narrative et virtualité du récit, il est finalement amené à concevoir le récit non seulement comme un acte interactif, mais aussi comme une forme de perturbation des normes ordinaires de la communication.

Effective policies for workflow scheduling in stochastic environments
Creators: name: Wosko, Michal
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In both business and computing, complex projects are often defined as workflows, which describe the relationships between the project's tasks. A fundamental problem is how to schedule these tasks, that is to say who and when has to perform them, to achieve specific performance targets. This becomes difficult especially when the tasks require an uncertain amount of time or when there is a queue of overlapping projects. Additionally, in many projects some tasks are executed, some are discarded and some can be repeated many times, based on conditions evaluated at runtime. My work presents algorithms which solve such problems effectively.

description: In this interview Mary-Laure Ryan faces some problems that arise from her definition of «transmedia narrative». Can every semiotic system tell stories? How can we elaborate a definition of «narrative» which accounts both for cognitive and semantic aspects? How can we dispense with the syntactic level if we need a definition of «narrativity» that suits every semiotic system? Answering these questions, Ryan deals with other proposals developed around the same theoretical problems, and points out a thought-provoking argument against Meir Sternberg’s functionalist definition of narrative.

Far-field predictions from near-field measurements using the three dimensional finite element and boundary integral methods.
Creators: name: Laroussi, Rédouane.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Characterizing antenna designs in their operational modes has been a classic problem for electromagnetic engineers for many years. The far-field pattern is of great importance in antenna characterization, but in many cases, it is impossible or at least impractical to measure directly. This thesis presents a numerical technique whereby near-field measurements can be transformed into far-field solutions. The finite element method (FEM), and an integral formulation, solution to the scattering problem, are used separately to solve the open boundary wave propagation problem in three dimensions. The near-field of a known source is sampled over a mesh of points and used as data for both methods. The integral formulation yields the far-field solution for homogeneous problems without the need for space discretization. The finite element method uses tetrahedral elements for discretizing the domain of interest and second order interpolation functions. It is complemented by the application of an absorbing boundary condition (ABC) which allows truncation of the domain. Classical ABCs of the local type are applied to the three dimensional problem. A new non-local ABC is obtained from the integral formulation and is coupled to the finite element approach. Computed field strengths obtained with the different approaches are compared with the analytical results obtained from the excitation source's analytical expression. The agreement was very good with maximum error percentages of about 10% for the FEM method and 2.5% for the integral formulation.

description: In quest’ultima sezione di Telling in Time (II) l’autore porta a compimento l’analisi condotta sulle condizioni di esistenza del discorso narrativo fornendo una definizione conclusiva delle nozioni chiave incontrate lungo l’intero saggio: narratività, narrazione e universali narrativi (individuati negli effetti di suspense, curiosità e sorpresa). Fornite queste definizioni – che assumono tanta più rilevanza se si considera la notevole diffusione che esse hanno avuto nell’ambito degli studi narratologici – l’attenzione si sposta sulle conseguenze di carattere epistemologico che una tale proposta implica nella configurazione degli studi narrativi e, in particolare, in merito all’adattamento, che non può essere più di tipo realistico, rispetto al proprio oggetto di studio. A conclusione del lavoro, Sternberg specifica la propria proposta: essendo la narratività – ecco, in sintesi, l’argomento finale – il procedimento che qualifica il discorso narrativo attraverso criteri anti-rappresentazionali, transmediali e dialogici, l’indagine critica sulla narrazione deve porsi co- me obiettivo primario quello di analizzare i meccanismi cognitivi e le strategie discorsive che so- no alla base dell’interazione dialogica tra lettore e opera (in modo da ancorare le proprie premes- se sulla specificità stessa del genere narrativo) e, secondariamente, di comprendere come tale procedimento invariante entri in relazione e modifichi, «narrativizzando», i fattori variabili dell’universo narrativo (al fine di stabilire una disposizione gerarchica tra i diversi fattori narrativi).

Infrared studies of silica surfaces.
Creators: name: McFarlan, Andrew J.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: The silanol distributions on "as received" aerosil and precipitated silica have been studied (1) by using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy in order to follow a reaction with AlMe$\sb3$, TiCl$\sb4$, or BCl$\sb3$, (2) by spectroscopically comparing the accessibility of probe molecules having different steric dimensions, that react with surface silanols (SiOH) either by chemisorption or H/D exchange, and (3) by gravimetrically measuring surface silanol densities using vacuum microbalance techniques. The results have been used to compare and characterize these non-porous silicas of similar surface area. Initially, H-bonded silanols are relatively more reactive than isolated silanols in the order of reagents, BCl$\sb3$ $>$ TiCl$\sb4$ $>$ AlMe$\sb3$. In the fully hydroxylated "as received" state, the number of silanol groups on either silica which react with various hydrogen sequestering (HS) agents decreases as the size of the agent increases (ZnMe$\sb2$, BCl$\sb3$, TiCl$\sb4$, AlMe$\sb3$ and Me$\sb3$SiNHSiMe$\sb3$ (HMDS) in increasing size). The number of silanols that undergo H/D exchange also decreases as the size of the probe molecule increases (D$\sb2$O, ND$\sb3$, and deuterated methanol, i-propanol and t-butanol). The reaction between HMDS and H-bonded silanols occurs preferentially with the terminal silanols of a chain, and we propose that these silanols occupy sites which are inherently more accessible to this bulky reactant. By following the evolution of the SiOH bands on both silicas in all three spectral regions for 450, 600, and 800$\sp\circ$C activation, we have assigned bands to two types of isolated silanols. The type I silanols are preferentially eliminated between 450 and 800$\sp\circ$C activation and are more abundant on precipitated silica than on aerosil. Type II silanols (isolated single silanols) dominate the surface of highly activated aerosil or precipitated silica. The vibrational spectra are reported for the physically adsorbed complexes, SiOH...X (X = CO, N$\sb2$, and CH$\sb4$) and the nature of their specific interaction with surface SiOH is discussed. Mechanisms are proposed for the room-temperature reaction between SiOH and TMP to produce DMP, and the SiOH catalyzed isomerization of TMP to DMMP. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Stem-cell research holds promise for the treatment of a broad range of diseases and conditions, from spinal cord injury to autism. But more work is needed to turn this research into safe and effective therapies. As a paper published in the journal Cell Stem Cell last week showed, many clinics are skipping this stage. Their websites advertise stem-cell-based procedures despite the lack of evidence for their safety or efficacy. Studies show patients are prepared to pay a high price, at least A$9,000, for these treatments.

description: We provide timing solutions for 45 radio pulsars discovered by the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. These pulsars were found in the Green Bank North Celestial Cap pulsar survey, an all-GBT-sky survey being carried out at a frequency of 350 MHz. We include pulsar timing data from the Green Bank Telescope and Low Frequency Array. Our sample includes five fully recycled millisecond pulsars (MSPs, three of which are in a binary system), a new relativistic double neutron star system, an intermediate-mass binary pulsar, a mode-changing pulsar, a 138 ms pulsar with a very low magnetic field, and several nulling pulsars. We have measured two post-Keplerian parameters and thus the masses of both objects in the double neutron star system. We also report a tentative companion mass measurement via Shapiro delay in a binary MSP. Two of the MSPs can be timed with high precision and have been included in pulsar timing arrays being used to search for low-frequency gravitational waves, while a third MSP is a member of the black widow class of binaries. Proper motion is measurable in five pulsars, and we provide an estimate of their space velocity. We report on an optical counterpart to a new black widow system and provide constraints on the optical counterparts to other binary MSPs. We also present a preliminary analysis of nulling pulsars in our sample. These results demonstrate the scientific return of long timing campaigns on pulsars of all types.
Relationship of personality types to the outcome of a values-based workplace seminar expressed as commitment to the principles taught.

Subjects: subject: Education, Adult and Continuing.

description: This is a study of personality types of adults undertaking workplace leadership training in relation to perceived training outcomes. Training programs to facilitate adult learning in the workplace are a logical and necessary extension of formal education. Leadership training programs are gaining importance in management education. From another perspective, personality characteristics of adult learners have been related to leadership effectiveness, but there is a lack of studies relating training outcomes to personality. Based on these considerations, this study addresses the following question: After subjects attend a values-based leadership training seminar in the workplace, is their expressed commitment to implement its content a function of their personality types? The sample consists of one thousand managers of a large North American corporation. The subjects participated in a leadership seminar focusing on personal needs and values. Subjects self-administered the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Three weeks after the seminar, ratings of commitment to the implementation of the seminar were obtained, using a scale developed by the writer, the Perceived Implementation Rating Scale (PIRS). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, item analyses, reliability estimates, and multivariate analyses of variance. The key results of this study may be summarized as follows: An overall comparison of the MBTI types yielded significant differences in perceived outcomes. More specifically, the combined group classified as TJ (Thinking-Judging) yielded lower scores than their non-TJ counterparts, and the Feeling group reported higher scores than the Thinking group. An exploratory comparison of men and women showed that women reported higher scores than did the nudes. These results imply that learning theories or models such as Andragogy and the Characteristics of the Adult Learner might do well to consider individual differences in personality as potentially relevant to learning outcomes and to the design of pedagogical strategies for adults.

description: With the proliferation of social networks, people are likely to share their opinions about news, social events and products on the Web. There is an increasing interest in understanding users’ attitude or sentiment from the large repository of opinion-rich data on the Web. This can beneﬁt many commercial and political applications. Primarily, the researchers concentrated on the documents such as users’ comments on the purchased products. Recent works show that visual appearance also conveys rich human affection that can be predicted. While great efforts have been devoted on the single media, either text or image, little attempts are paid for the joint analysis of multi-view data which is becoming a prevalent form in the social media. For example, paired with the posted textual messages on Twitter, users are likely to upload images and videos which may carry their affective states. One common obstacle is the lack of sufficient manually annotated instances for model learning and performance evaluation. To prompt the researches on this problem, we introduce a multi-view sentiment analysis dataset (MVSA) including a set of manually annotated image-text pairs collected from Twitter. The dataset can be utilized as a valuable benchmark for both single-view and multi-view sentiment analysis. In this thesis, we further conduct a comprehensive study on computational analysis of sentiment from the multi-view data. The state-of-the-art approaches on single view (image or text) or multi view (image and text) data are introduced, and compared through extensive experiments conducted on our constructed dataset and other public datasets. More importantly, the effectiveness of the correlation between different views is also studied using the widely used fusion strategies and advanced multi-view feature extraction methods.

Monitoring

description: Groundwater monitoring is recommended as a higher-tier option in the regulatory groundwater assessment of crop protection products in the European Union. However, to date little guidance has been provided on the study designs. The SETAC EMAG-Pest GW group (a mixture of regulatory, academic, and industry scientists) was created in 2015 to establish scientific recommendations for conducting such studies. This report provides recommendations for study designs and study procedures made by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Environmental Monitoring Advisory Group on Pesticides (EMAG-Pest). Because of the need to assess the vulnerability to leaching in both site selection and extrapolating study results, information on assessing vulnerability to leaching is also a major topic in this report. The design of groundwater monitoring studies must consider to which groundwater the groundwater quality standard is applicable and the associated spatial and temporal aspects of its application, the objective of the study, the properties of the active substance and its metabolites, and site characteristics. This limits the applicability of standardised study designs. The effect of the choice of groundwater to which the water quality guideline is applied on study design is illustrated and examples of actual study designs are presented. © The Author(s) 2019

Waste-water treatment

description: Photocatalysis is a series of advanced light-induced redox reaction processes resulting in the degradation and mineralization of organic pollutants in the presence of oxygen and water. Due to their capability to destroy contaminants under mild conditions, photocatalytic processes have attracted considerable attention in the field of waste-water treatment. However, photocatalytic reactions using the traditional TiO2 photocatalyst suffer from low energy efficiencies under solar irradiation. This low efficiency in the utilization of solar energy lies in its incapability in absorbing visible lights and also the high recombination rate of photo-excited species in photocatalysts. In addition, difficulties in the separation of fluids from micro- or nano-scale catalysts in large scale systems substantially impact cost efficiency in practice. In this thesis, strategies are explored which address these issues in order to improve the feasibility of solar photocatalysis. Two branches of photocatalytic transition metal-oxide semiconductor materials are investigated, namely bismuth-based and silver-based multi-phase heterogeneous photocatalysts. This research is focused on the design of visible-light-active metal-oxide photocatalysts to increase the absorption of visible light and to decrease the rates of electron-hole recombination, resulting in a high photocatalytic efficiency in regards to the degradation of organic pollutants. BiVO4 powder, synthesized from freshly made potassium metavanadate was prepared via hydrothermal treatment, characterized and experimentally investigated for the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation. The crystal structures and the specific surface areas of the composites, based on BiVO4 single phase crystal structures, are discussed. A multi-phase silver species (Ag2O/Ag3VO4/Ag4V2O7) photocatalyst was synthesized by adjusting the molar ratio of silver to vanadium (Ag to V) via hydrothermal method. The stabilities of as-prepared silver species composites regarding crystal structural changes due to photocatalytic reactions are investigated. Multi-phase silver species composites assisted with graphene oxide (GO-Ag2O/Ag3VO4/AgVO3) were synthesized at room temperature, and exhibited high visible-light photocatalytic activities regarding the degradation of model organic pollutants. The effect of graphene oxide addition on the photoactivity and on the photocorrosion of silver species composites under VLI is explored. The synergistic roles of each individual phase incorporated into the multi-phase composites are discussed regarding the photocatalytic performance.

Abstract: The number of Distributed Energy Resources connected to the grid is increasing, along the path towards more renewable energy. These power systems are connected to cloud applications, and external operators and servers, and becomes Cyber-Physical-Power-Systems, that represents a cybersecurity risk for the grid. The attention of cybercriminals on OT systems, like DERs, are increasing, as OT systems typically are lacking behind IT systems in terms of security, and therefore are easier targets. The risk is clearly identified, and legislation in e.g. US and EU are emerging to cope with the threat. This presentation is proposing an approach on how to address this problem in the design of DERs, with a Resilience Control approach using a framework and process based on IEC62443, and includes suggestions to mitigation strategies, during the lifetime of the power system.

description: This research examines the gap between the socio-political and economic reality of Palestine, under Israeli Occupation, and the perceptions, assumptions and limitations of small aid donors like Switzerland in a colonial context. It looks at how global and Swiss aid is formulated and dispensed to fragile ‘non-states’ like Palestine. My thesis found that aid in general is ineffective, with Swiss aid in particular being modest, lacking robustness and failing to respond to the colonial context that prevents Palestine from profiting the most from international aid. In addition, Swiss aid is afflicted by many shortcomings that have been identified by contemporary research: a large part of aid is tied; consultations with local partners are limited, excluding, by and large, civil society; and time constraints are such that current programs are generally designed on a relatively short-term basis.

description: Particulate matter is one of the main pollutants, causing hazy days, and it has been serious concern for public health worldwide, particularly in China recently. Quality of outdoor atmosphere with a pollutant emission of PM2.5 is hard to be controlled; but the quality of indoor air could be achieved by using fibrous membrane-based air-filtering devices. Herein, we introduce nanofiber membranes for both indoor and outdoor air protection by electrospun synthesized polyacrylonitrile:TiO₂ and developed polyacrylonitrile-co-polyacrylate:TiO₂ composite nanofiber membranes. In this study, we design both polyacrylonitrile:TiO₂ and polyacrylonitrile-co-polyacrylate:TiO₂ nanofiber membranes with controlling the nanofiber diameter and membrane thickness and enable strong particulate matter adhesion to increase the absorptive performance and by synthesizing the specific microstructure of different layers of nanofiber membranes. Our study shows that the developed polyacrylonitrile-co-polyacrylate:TiO₂ nanofiber membrane achieves highly effective (99.95% removal of PM2.5) under extreme hazy air-quality conditions (PM2.5 mass concentration 1 mg/m³). Moreover, the experimental simulation of the test in 1 cm³ air storehouse shows that the polyacrylonitrile-co-polyacrylate:TiO₂ nanofiber membrane (1 g/m²) has the excellent PM 2.5 removal efficiency of 99.99% in 30 min.

description: In this dissertation, we examine specific network connectivity problems, and achieve improved approximation algorithm and integrality gap results for them. We introduce an important new, highly useful and applicable, network connectivity problem - the Vital Core Connectivity Problem (VCC). Despite its many practical uses, this problem has not been previously studied. We present the first constant factor approximation algorithm for VCC, and provide an upper bound on the integrality gap of its linear programming relaxation. We also introduce a new, useful, extension of the minimum spanning tree problem, called the Extended Minimum Spanning Tree Problem (EMST), that is based on a special case of VCC; and provide both a polynomial-time algorithm and a complete linear description for it. Furthermore, we show how to generalize this new problem to handle numerous disjoint vital cores, providing the first complete linear description of, and polynomial-time algorithm for, the generalized problem. We examine the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP) with multiple copies of edges allowed in the solution (multi-SNDP), and present a new approximation algorithm for which the approximation guarantee is better than that of the current best known for certain cases of multi-SNDP. With our method, we also obtain improved bounds on the integrality gap of the linear programming relaxation of the problem. Furthermore, we show the application of these results to variations of SNDP. We investigate cases where the optimal values of multi-SNDP and SNDP are equal; and we present an improvement on the previously best known integrality gap bound and approximation guarantee for the special case of SNDP with metric costs and low vertex connectivity requirements, as well as for the similar special case of the Vertex Connected Survivable Network Design Problem (VC-SNDP). The quality of the results that one can obtain for a given network design problem often depends on its integer linear programming formulation, and, in particular, on its linear programming relaxation. In this connection, we investigate formulations for the Steiner Tree Problem (ST). We propose two new formulations for ST, and investigate their strength in terms of their associated integrality gaps.
