Exhumation of deep mountain roots: lessons from the Western Tatra Mountains, northern Slovakia

description: The Tatric crystalline unit of the Western Carpathians in northern Slovakia displays an inverted metamorphic sequence where high-grade migmatite and orthogneiss units are overlying lower-grade mica schists. Enclosed within the migmatites are lenses of eclogite-bearing amphibolites. Conventional geothermobarometry coupled with isochemical modeling constrained P-T paths that exhibit contrasting metamorphic histories for rock units that are now heterogeneously interleaved. Relict eclogite facies assemblages with occasionally preserved omphacite record post-peak pressure conditions of 1.7-1.8 GPa followed by near isothermal decompression at ∼750°C leading to intensive re-equilibration of eclogites at high-pressure granulite facies conditions and development of diopside + plagioclase symplectitic textures. New ID-TIMS Sm-Nd dating of garnet separated from the omphacite-bearing eclogite yields a whole rock-garnet isochron age of 337 +/- 10 Ma, with an epsilon Nd isotopic composition of +8.3. While major element profiles across the garnets display little variation, the trace element distribution shows a typical HREE enrichment profile and a slight core to rim disparity with LREE and MREE concentrations higher in the cores and higher HREE in the rims. Granulite-facies migmatites that host the eclogite boudins record lower pressure metamorphic conditions of 1.2 GPa at ∼750°C and a similar retrograde path. The lower-grade micaschists reached metamorphic conditions of 0.8 GPa at ∼650°C. Monazite U-Pb analysis from a migmatite surrounding the eclogite boudins yields one population of ca. 380 Ma age. Another migmatite away from the eclogite yields two populations monazite ages. A robust 340 +/- 11 Ma monazite U-Pb age is indistinguishable from our garnet age and U-Pb SIMS age of zircons in the anatectic leucosome of the migmatite (347 +/- 7 Ma). We interpret the ca. 340 Ma ages to represent the exhumation of the deep crustal root of the Variscan orogen into the middle crust coeval with anatexis. A younger monazite U-Pb age of 300 +/- 16 Ma is consistent with 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology data of ca. 310 Ma that is likely indicative of the Late Carboniferous I-type magmatism and cooling in the Tatric block. Cooling rates calculated by garnet diffusion modeling yield estimates of ∼30 °/Ma. This exhumation was likely tectonically forced by the action of a rigid indentor which prompted the weak lower crust to be heterogeneously extruded to mid-crustal levels at a time coeval with anatexis and subsequently extruded with mid-crustal material to the upper crust.

description: Decreased expression of Breast Cancer 1 protein BRCA1 in breast and epithelial ovarian cancer patients has been correlated with increased overall survival. The improved outcome of patients with BRCA1-deficient tumours has been linked to their impaired ability to repair DNA damage induced by chemotherapy, specifically platinum agents. Targeting the DNA repair protein BRCA1 using novel therapeutic approaches has the potential to enhance platinum chemosensitivity in breast and ovarian cancer. Human ovarian and breast cancer cell lines were treated for 24 or 48 hours with three standard chemotherapeutics alone or in combination with three small molecule inhibitors that target DNA repair activity. Treatment with a histone deacetylase inhibitor sensitized breast and ovarian cancer cell lines to platinum agents. The HDACi significantly decreased BRCA1 RNA and protein expression. The HDACi shows promise as a therapeutic agent in combination with platinum therapy for breast and ovarian cancer due to its ability to down-regulate BRCA1.

The Canadian pulp and paper industry: An economic and environmental analysis
Creators: name: Azarafshar, Elham
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Economics, General.

description: This thesis looks at the Canadian Pulp and Paper Industry at both the empirical level and the theoretical level. In the first half of the thesis, the empirical aspects of the industry are studied within the framework of the trade-off between environmental protection and efficiency of the plants. In the second half, several theoretical issues related to the market structure of the pulp and paper industry are analyzed. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Industry and the various production processes. In Chapter 2, an empirical analysis is undertaken to study the relation between technical efficiency and pollution. This analysis has far-reaching policy implications as it allows us to study empirically the effect of pollution control regulations on the performance of the firms. Chapter 3 contains a study on the international trade in market pulp, with specific focus on the trade among Canada, US, and Europe. A multi-market spatial oligopoly model is formulated, calibrated, then simulated to gain insights into the workings of these interdependent markets. In Chapter 4, an oligopoly model for the tissue and towel market in North America is formalized then calibrated. The objective of this chapter is to obtain an adequate picture of the consumer market, in which prices, qualities, and advertising are used to entice consumers. The model contains four firms, which produce a total number of ten brands among them. The simulation of the model yields detailed results on the intricate workings of the industry and results that cannot be expected from simple text-book oligopoly models.
Behavioral evidence for differences in emotional resonance during processing first and second language

description: Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: Currently available data show mixed results as to whether emotional resonance is stronger for words expressed in the mother tongue (L1) compared to a second language, acquired later in life (L2). One reason for these discrepancies could be differential effects of individuals’ L2 learning history. We introduce an experimental paradigm that is sufficiently robust for testing outside the laboratory to reach a more diverse population. We illustrate this paradigm using 24 well-characterized Russian (L1)–German (L2) bilingual migrants. Design/methodology/approach: The paradigm consists of displaying an array of random letters that may contain a word, which participants must identify. Stimuli are displayed until response and the proportion of correct identification is used as dependent measure. Performance for neutral words is contrasted to swear or taboo words. Data and analysis: The interplay between language and word type is assessed with a 2 × 2 within subjects ANOVA. Findings/conclusions: At the group level, a swear or taboo word superiority in L1 and its absence in L2 is observed. At the individual level, however, the data show a clear divide depending on the age of arrival at the L2 country. Participants who arrived after mid-adolescence show a clear language effect. By contrast, individuals who arrived earlier, present a swear or taboo word superiority in either L1, L2, or in both languages. The age of arrival should therefore be regarded as a critical variable and averaging over bilinguals with different ages of arrival can distort the results depending on the relative size of the respective groups. Originality: The representativeness of test subjects is constrained by the availability of participants at the testing site. Testing outside the laboratory, at home or online, allows reaching larger and/or target populations. Significance/implications: By removing constraints on the availability of bilingual participants, our paradigm enables refined insights into how emotion shapes language processing.

description: Background: Current evidence suggests that good quality sleep is associated with preserved cognitive function and reduced dementia risk in older adults. Sleep complaints are especially common among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and this may contribute to their increased risk for progression to dementia. Thus, improving their sleep may be important for maintaining their cognitive health. Chronotherapy is a set of intervention strategies that can improve sleep quality through strengthening the entrainment of the biological clock to the solar light-dark cycle, and includes strategies such as (1) bright light therapy (BLT); (2) physical activity (PA); and (3) good sleep hygiene. Of these strategies, BLT is the most potent and is based on providing individualized timing to entrain circadian rhythms. Thus, a personalized chronotherapy intervention of individually timed BLT and individually tailored PA promotion, in conjunction with general sleep hygiene education may promote older adult sleep quality. We therefore aim to carry out a proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the efficacy of such a personalized chronotherapy intervention to improve sleep quality among older adults with MCI. Methods/design: This was a 24-week RCT of a personalized chronotherapy intervention aimed to primarily improve sleep quality as measured by the MotionWatch8©. Participants in the personalized chronotherapy group (INT) will receive four once-weekly, general sleep hygiene education classes, followed by 20 weeks of (1) individually timed BLT and (2) bi-weekly, individually tailored PA counseling phone calls in conjunction with receiving a consumer-available PA tracker—the Fitbit® Flex™. Ninety-six adults (aged 65–85 years) classified as having MCI (i.e., Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) ≥ 24; Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) ≤ 26; without dementia or significant functional impairment) will be randomized to either INT or a waitlist control group (CON). Discussion: The results of this trial will help determine if a personalized chronotherapy intervention that includes individually timed BLT and individually tailored PA promotion, along with general sleep hygiene education can promote sleep quality among older adults at increased risk for dementia. Our results will help inform best practices for promoting sleep quality among older adults with MCI. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT02926157 . Registered on 6 October 2016.

description: With the technological advances of today, comes the increasing need for device miniaturization. This thesis focuses on the construction of nanostructures, approached from both bottom-up (synthesis) and top-down (lithography) methods. First, a bottom-up method to construct cadmium selenide semiconductor nanoparticles under mild conditions in reverse micelles is described and investigated. A detailed spectroscopic study of nanoparticle growth is provided, whereby the growth was monitored over a period of up to a year. The nanoparticles were removed from the surfactant using ethanol precipitation and were subjected to surface derivatization in order to stabilize them. Secondly, photoreversible cycloaddition of an anthracene derivative is studied for use in double-exposure lithography. The system was found to be adequately reversible, though possible side photoreactions were investigated. Spectroscopic studies were also conducted and photophysical pathways of the compound were examined. The compound was found to have a cleaving quantum yield of 0.67 +/- 0.04 and was established as an actinometer to assess the efficacy of future candidate compounds.

description: We derive the low-redshift galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF), inclusive of dust corrections, for the equatorial Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) data set covering 180 deg 2 . We construct the mass function using a density-corrected maximum volume method, using masses corrected for the impact of optically thick and thin dust. We explore the galactic bivariate brightness plane (M * -μ), demonstrating that surface brightness effects do not systematically bias our mass function measurement above 10 7.5 M ⊙ . The galaxy distribution in the M-μ plane appears well bounded, indicating that no substantial population of massive but diffuse or highly compact galaxies are systematically missed due to the GAMA selection criteria. The GSMF is fitted with a double Schechter function, with M* = 10 10.78±0.01±0.20 M ⊙ , φ 1 * = (2.93 ± 0.40) × 10 -3 h 70 3 Mpc -3 , α1 =-0.62 ± 0.03 ± 0.15, φ 2 * = (0.63 ± 0.10) × 10 -3 h 70 3 Mpc -3 and α2 =-1.50 ± 0.01 ± 0.15. We find the equivalent faint end slope as previously estimated using the GAMA-I sample, although we find a higher value of M*. Using the full GAMA-II sample, we are able to fit the mass function to masses as low as 10 7.5 M ⊙ , and assess limits to 10 6.5 M ⊙ . Combining GAMA-II with data from G10-COSMOS, we are able to comment qualitatively on the shape of the GSMF down to masses as low as 10 6 M ⊙ . Beyond the well-known upturn seen in the GSMF at 10 9.5 , the distribution appears to maintain a single power-law slope from 10 9 to 10 6.5 . We calculate the stellar mass density parameter given our best-estimate GSMF, finding Ω * = 1.66 -0.23 +0.24 ± 0.97 h 70 -1 × 10 -3 , inclusive of random and systematic uncertainties.

LORNAV: A Web-based tool for personalized three-dimensional navigation of distributed learning object repositories
Creators: name: Hossain, Mohammad Anwar
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis presents LORNAV, a prototype web-based 3D tool designed to visualize Learning Objects (LOs) in a virtual environment over the Internet. The learning objects focused on are represented using the IEEE Learning Object Metadata (LOM) standard and are distributed among multiple repositories. The repositories may be located locally on the LORNAV server or be distributed elsewhere on the Internet. LORNAV dynamically creates a 3D representation of each of the LOs from the LOM elements based on a predefined template and displays it in 3D virtual environment using several visualization metaphors. The creation of the 3D virtual environment is also influenced by the individual user profile that reflects the interest of the user using the system. LORNAV allows the user to navigate through the 3D environment, view the associated metadata of the 3D objects, read/play the content, and select the objects of interest to create a personal space within the 3D environment. The introduction of personal space provides the user with a familiar navigation space consisting of LOs of his/her choice.

description: Millions of pulmonary diseases, respiratory diseases, and premature deaths are caused by poor ambient air quality in developing countries, especially in China. A proven indicator of ambient air quality, atmospheric visibility (AV), has displayed continuous decline in China’s urban areas. A better understanding of the characteristics and the factors affecting AV can help the public and policy makers manage their life and work. In this study, long-term AV trends (from 1957–2016, excluding 1965–1972) and spatial characteristics of 31 provincial capital cities (PCCs) of China (excluding Taipei, Hong Kong, and Macau) were investigated. Seasonal and annual mean values of AV, percentage of ‘good’ (≥20 km) and ‘bad’ AV (<10 km), cumulative percentiles and the correlation between AV, socioeconomic factors, air pollutants and meteorological factors were analyzed in this study. Results showed that annual mean AV of the 31 PCCs in China were 14.30 km, with a declining rate of −1.07 km/decade. The AV of the 31 PCCs declined dramatically between 1973–1986, then plateaued between 1987–2006, and rebounded slightly after 2007. Correlation analysis showed that impact factors (e.g., urban size, industrial activities, residents’ activities, urban greening, air quality, and meteorological factors) contributed to the variation of AV. We also reveal that residents’ activities are the primary direct socioeconomic factors on AV. This study hopes to help the public fully understand the characteristics of AV and make recommendations about improving the air environment in China’s urban areas.

description: An epilepsy diagnosis reduces a patient’s quality of life tremendously, and it is a fate shared by over 50 million people worldwide. Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is largely considered a nongenetic or acquired form of epilepsy that develops in consequence of neuronal trauma by injury, malformations, inflammation, or a prolonged (febrile) seizure. Although extensive research has been conducted to understand the process of epileptogenesis, a therapeutic approach to stop its manifestation or to reliably cure the disease has yet to be developed. In this review, we briefly summarize the current literature predominately based on data from excitotoxic rodent models on the cellular events proposed to drive epileptogenesis and thoroughly discuss the major molecular pathways involved, with a focus on neurogenesis-related processes and transcription factors. Furthermore, recent investigations emphasized the role of the genetic background for the acquisition of epilepsy, including variants of neurodevelopmental genes. Mutations in associated transcription factors may have the potential to innately increase the vulnerability of the hippocampus to develop epilepsy following an injury—an emerging perspective on the epileptogenic process in acquired forms of epilepsy.
Presence of myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) in platelets and its role in secretion.

description: We demonstrate the presence of myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), another protein kinase C (PKC) substrate, in platelets and its phosphorylation during phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or thrombin stimulation. Both MARCKS phosphorylation and serotonin release from permeabilized and intact platelets stimulated by either PMA or thrombin, respectively, have the same concentration-dependency and were blocked by a peptide (MPSD) with the amino acid sequence corresponding to the phosphorylation site domain of MARCKS. Under these conditions, pleckstrin and myosin light chain phosphorylation in response to either PMA or thrombin simulation was not modified. A similar peptide (Ala-MPSD) in which the four serine residues of MPSD were substituted by alanines was ineffective. The present results provide the first evidence that MARCKS may play a role in platelet secretion. Moreover, the fact that pleckstrin phosphorylation has a different concentration-dependency than that of MARCKS or serotonin release and was not modified when MARCKS phosphorylation and serotonin release were inhibited, suggests that pleckstrin is either not directly involved in platelet secretion or it might only be involved upstream in the cascade of events leading to exocytosis.

An Analytical Study in Klezmer Music: An Application of Prayer Chant and Klezmer Modes
Creators: name: Small, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Music.
subject: Jewish Studies.

description: This thesis studies the melodic elements of the klezmer music genre. First, the reader will observe the work of klezmer scholar Joshua Horowitz, who describes the basis of the klezmer genre as a set of four modes. As per convention, these modes are scale-based, but are additionally motivic in nature. Second, a similar modal system will be examined; that of the Synagogue Prayer Modes, which were identified primarily through the work of Jewish music scholars Abraham Zvi Idelsohn, and later, Baruch Joseph Cohon. Finally, a set of pieces found on the recording "Hassidic Tunes of Dancing and Rejoicing" will be analyzed both in terms of the klezmer and prayer modes. It is through this analytical process that the reader may determine how the motivic patterns within the modes influence the composition of a klezmer piece. This process will also highlight the link between the two sets of modes.

Laurier: "Le depute de Quebec-Est"
Creators: name: Williams, Garth
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Biography.
subject: History, Canadian.

description: This thesis adopts a social-cultural approach to the history of politics to explain contradictions in the "Laurier legend" and connect social and political history traditions. It argues Laurier is best understood as the representative of Quebec-Est where he engaged in the social-cultural work of politics, linking citizens to their government. Quebec-Est guided him consistently. It was an urban, working-class, commercial and industrial, French Canadian Catholic riding, devastated by economic decline in the mid-nineteenth century. This social and economic context reduced the immediacy of national conflicts over language and religion and encouraged compromise, to secure government resources needed to renovate the port, bridge the St. Lawrence, build a railway to the west and regain the city's "rightful" place in Canada. It fostered a political culture characterized by intense partisanship, personal accountability and broad public interest in local businesses---including their labour disputes. When Laurier was first elected, Quebec-Est had relatively close-knit business and social networks. As it grew, social relations became more structured, impersonal, and a greater range of activities reduced public space for politics while the Church successfully resisted and adapted to these modern trends, regaining local influence. The thesis traces this evolution through changes in the instruments for shaping and expressing public opinion that connected Laurier to Quebec-Est: the Liberal party, the party newspaper, election campaigns and patronage. Much was expressed through conflict between two factions: 'les vrais liberaux,' organized around pre-existing personal networks of businessmen and labourers, and 'les parentistes,' a more impersonal organization of larger, more conservative, businessmen structured around patronage. When, one, or both, held sway, Laurier fulfilled the riding's ambitions. When they fought, he could address other concerns. A definitive 'vrai liberal' victory over 'les parentistes' in 1906 deprived Laurier of a disciplined organization for patronage distribution, encouraging him to rationalize the civil service and newspaper management. He remained loyal to the party, but it had become disconnected from the larger manufacturers, Catholic labour unions and Church organizations with growing influence in the riding. The party's new structure and Laurier's reforms explain his defeat in 1911; he even---very nearly---lost his seat that year.

description: Vortrag im Rahmen des RUB Open Science Month 2024.

Der Vortrag beleuchtet die zunehmende Bedeutung von Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM) in den Gesellschaftswissenschaften und wie Forschende mit den verbundenen Herausforderungen umgehen können.

Die steigende Relevanz von FDM begründet sich in der Notwendigkeit, Forschungsergebnisse reproduzierbar zu machen, Datenverlust zu vermeiden und die Nachnutzung von Daten zu ermöglichen. Die Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) entwickelt und bündelt Angebote zum FDM, um die Forschungsdateninfrastruktur zur Beforschung der Gesellschaft zu stärken und zu erweitern. Innerhalb der NFDI konzentriert sich das Konsortium für die Sozial-, Bildungs-, Verhaltens- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften (KonsortSWD- NFDI4Society) auf die spezifischen Bedürfnisse dieser Disziplinen. Der Vortrag stellt die Angebote von KonsortSWD vor, die darauf abzielen, Forschende technisch und inhaltlich bei der Verwaltung und Nachnutzung von Forschungsdaten zu unterstützen, mit einem besonderen Fokus auf die Herausforderungen und Anforderungen im Umgang mit sensiblen Daten. Dazu gehören Unterstützungsangebote für das Management von Forschungsdaten über den gesamten Forschungsdatenlebenszyklus hinweg, die Sicherstellung des Datenzugangs unter Berücksichtigung ethischer und rechtlicher Aspekte sowie die Förderung der Interoperabilität und Sichtbarkeit von Forschungsdaten. Außerdem werden im Vortrag Einblicke in die Datenangebote der vom RatSWD akkreditierten Forschungsdatenzentren gegeben. Diese Einblicke bieten einen Überblick über die vielfältigen Forschungsdaten, die für die Forscher:innen verfügbar sind, und zeigen, wie diese Daten durch die Angebote von KonsortSWD unterstützt und nachnutzbar gemacht werden können.

The sulphur isotope geochemistry of carbonatites and associated silicate rocks from the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield
Creators: name: Farrell, Sean Bradley
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Geology.

description: Thirty-five sulphur isotopic analyses have been obtained from six carbonatite-alkalic rock complexes ranging in age from 1906 Ma to 1008 Ma located within the Ontario portion of the Superior Province. Pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite mineral separates were used. The overall range of delta 34SCDT values are from +3.4 to -4.5‰. Each complex shows its own distinct range and mean sulphur isotopic composition. The overall range in the sulphur isotopic composition in conjunction with carbon and oxygen isotopic data suggests that these carbonatites and associated silicate rocks were derived from a relatively primitive mantle source. This is consistent with previously published Sr and Nd isotopic data that suggest that the mantle source underlying the Superior Province has remained essentially a closed system from about 2700 Ma to at least 1008 Ma. The sulphur isotopic data reported here is the first ever for carbonatites from the Superior Province. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: For several geometric-optical illusions the intensity appears to depend mainly on one particular geometric parameter in quite a systematic way. Plotting the magnitude of an illusion over this parameter, the data follow a continuous function within their error margins. From conceptual models based on general scientific laws, mathematical functions are derived and fitted to experimental data of illusions. For some of them the plot can be approximated by a fairly simple expression, eg, by an exponential decay function, a power or even by a linear function. Expressions of this kind are regarded as basic functions. Other illusions seem to be the result of compound effects, involving two or more functions. In case illusions share the same function it appears likely that they share quite a similar way of data processing, too. Relationships of this kind serve as a basis of a taxonomy. The conceptual models are derived from crosstalk, lateral inhibition, size constancy and subjective contours.

description: Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS) as biomarkers of the hangover state. Methods: Thirty-sixhealthy social drinkers participated in this study, being of naturalistic design. Eighteen participants experience regular hangovers (the hangover group), whereas the other 18 claim to not experience a hangover (the hangover-immune group). On a control day (alcohol-free) day and a post-alcohol day, urine EtG and EtS concentrations were determined and hangover severity assessed. Results: Urinary EtG and EtS concentrations were significantly increased on post-alcohol day compared to the control day (p =.0001). Both EtG and EtS concentrations did not significantly correlate with the overall hangover score, nor with the estimated peak blood alcohol concentrations and number of alcoholic drinks. EtG correlated significantly only with the individual hangover symptom “headache” (p =.033; r =.403). No significant correlations were found with the EtG to EtS ratio. EtG and EtS concentrations significantly correlated with urine ethanol concentrations. Conclusions: Although urine EtG and EtS concentration did not significantly correlate to estimated peak blood alcohol concentrations or the number of alcoholic drinks consumed, a significant correlation was found with urine ethanol concentration. However, urine EtG and EtS concentrations did not significantly correlate with overall hangover severity.

description: (1) Background: Long COVID syndrome refers to long-term sequelae of the novel viral disease, which occur even in patients with initially mild disease courses. However, there is still little evidence of the actual organic consequences and their frequency, and there is no standardized workup to diagnose long COVID syndrome yet. In this study, we aim to determine the efficiency of a stepwise diagnostic approach for reconvalescent COVID-19 patients with cardiopulmonary symptoms. (2) Methods: The diagnostic workup for long COVID syndrome included three steps. In the first step, the focus was on broad applicability (e.g., blood tests and body plethysmography). In the second step, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and cardiac MRI (CMR) were used. The third step was tailored to the individual needs of each patient. The observation period lasted from 22 February to 14 May 2021. (3) Results: We examined 231 patients in our long COVID unit (mean [SD] age, 47.8 [14.9], 132 [57.1%] women). Acute illness occurred a mean (SD) of 121 (77) days previously. Suspicious findings in the first visit were seen in 80 (34.6%) patients, prompting further diagnostics. Thirty-six patients were further examined with CPET and CMR. Of those, 16 (44.4%) had pathological findings. The rest had functional complaints without organ damage (“functional long COVID”). Cardiopulmonary sequelae were found in asymptomatic as well as severe courses of the initial COVID-19 disease. (4) Conclusions: A structured diagnostic pathway for the diagnosis of long COVID syndrome is practicable and rational in terms of resource allocation. With this approach, manifest organ damage can be accurately and comprehensively diagnosed and distinguished from functional complaints.

Design and development of a three dimensional password scheme
Creators: name: Alsulaiman, Fawaz Abdulaziz A
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Current authentication systems suffer from many weaknesses. Textual passwords are common. However, users do not follow the requirements of a textual password system. Users tend to choose meaningful words from dictionaries, which make textual passwords easy to break and vulnerable to dictionary attacks or brute-force attacks. Many available graphical password schemes have a password space less or equal to the textual password space. Smart cards or tokens can be stolen. Although many biometrics authentications have been proposed, users tend to resist using biometric passwords because of their seeming intrusiveness and their affect on personal privacy. Moreover, biometric passwords cannot be revoked. In this thesis, we propose and evaluate our contribution which is a new scheme of authentication. This new scheme is based on a three-dimensional virtual environment. Users navigate through the virtual environment and interact with items inside the three-dimensional virtual environment. The combination of all interactions, actions and inputs towards the items and towards the three-dimensional virtual environment constructs the user's 3D password. The 3D password combines most existing authentication schemes such as textual passwords, graphical passwords, token-based, and biometrics into one three-dimensional virtual environment. The 3D password's main application is the protection of critical resources and systems.
A selective test sequence generation method for protocols (with application to LOTOS).
Creators: name: Ren, Shenyu.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis proposes a new approach for generating selective test sequences from a LOTOS specification. First, based on the functional characteristics and semantic properties of the LOTOS operations, a criterion called operational coverage is developed, whereby, each of the LOTOS operations is assigned a mandatory set of sequences involving the actions in its operands. In general, these action sequences are not executable. A method called SELECTEST is then proposed for generating executable test sequences which satisfy the coverage criterion. SELECTEST first determines the cover for the specified operation from which a set of guides are obtained, each denoted as a possibly nonexecutable rooted path lying in the hierarchy of the LOTOS specification and passing through the operator. The guides are used to greatly speed up the search for the executable test sequences over the Petri-net representation transformed from the LOTOS specification. The coverage and method have also been generalized to the case of covering a set of LOTOS operations. The application to the Alternating Bit Protocol is included to illustrate the approach.
