The clear terminus: A Kierkegaardian reading of Wittgenstein's "Tractatus".
Creators: name: Howes, Bruce.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: The metaphysical root of Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus represents a departure from a pervasive philosophical assumption found originally in Plato's Meno. This departure is directly inspired by a critique of the Meno found in the works by Soren Kierkegaard written under the pseudonym Johannes Climacus. The central implication of Kierkegaard's influence for Tractatus interpretation is that thought---or thinking---referred to in the Tractatus of necessity extends beyond the limits of language. There are at present two competing interpretative readings of the Tractatus in the literature. One reading---referred to as the "Standard" reading since it is propounded by almost all notable Wittgenstein scholars, e.g., Pears, Hacker, McGuinness, Anscombe, Rhees, Malcohn---has it that the "mystical" sections of the Tractatus must be, to some degree, taken seriously. The other reading---a "New" reading advocated most prominently by Winch, Diamond, and Conant---argues that the Standard reading is self-contradictory in that it maintains that the limits of language and those of thought are the same while it simultaneously maintains that there is a sort of Mystical residue left over even after the Tractatus has (according to the dictates of section 6.54) been "thrown away". The New reading sees Wittgenstein's point as being precisely that there is no such left-over residue and that we must accept this. Both readings are however incorrect in regard to Wittgenstein's view of limits in the Tractatus. While the New reading takes somewhat seriously the influence of Kierkegaard on the Tractatus, it asserts that a Kierkegaardian influence bolsters the New reading's view of the mystical as well as its view that language and thought share the same limits in the Tractatus. The opposite is in fact the case. Das Mystische corresponds to Kierkegaard's "absolutely unknown" that language---but not thought---runs up against as a limit. Wittgenstein himself alludes to this correspondence in conversation with members of the Vienna Circle in 1929. As such, if the influence of Kierkegaard is to be seen in its proper light, the problem is not with the Standard reading of Das Mystische, but rather with the view that the limits of thought and language in the Tractatus are the same. For Kierkegaard, unless thought extends beyond the limit of language there is no conceivable nexus for the subject or the divine. This is precisely his critique of Plato's Meno in Fragments. That this view is also the bedrock of the Tractatus' metaphysics is what the present thesis argues is the proper "Kierkegaardian reading" of Wittgenstein's Tractatus.

Builders’ Exchange, and the Building and Construction Industries’ Exchange of B.C., the Record primarily covered news related to building, contracting, engineering, real estate, and industrial finance. The Record was published by the Record Publishing Company, which had previously published the paper under a number of different titles, including the Daily Building Record and the British Columbia Building Record. The Record subsequently evolved into the Journal of Commerce.
The application of A.C. impedance spectroscopy on the durability of hydrated cement paste subjected to various environmental conditions.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: Harsh Canadian winters cause many problems in reinforced concrete structures due to damaging freezing-thawing cycles which is exacerbated by the heavy use of de-icing salts on roadways. Evaluation of concrete durability with current ASTM methods may give unreliable results and are destructive to the structure. A relatively new and novel approach to evaluating the durability of concrete uses A. C. Impedance Spectroscopy (ACIS). Hydrated cement paste (hcp), mortar, brick and vycor glass were evaluated using ACIS during drying-rewetting and freezing-thawing cycles. Thermal mechanical analysis (TMA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests were also conducted and used as references. Results indicate that ACIS can be used to successfully evaluate the pore structure of hcp. The results from the drying-rewetting cycles are consistent with the pore coarsening theory. ACIS revealed pore structure changes consistent with the mechanical strains and pore solution chemistry. Increased pore continuity with each drying-rewetting cycle was indicated by a reduction in sample resistance. Unique tests were conducted on hydrated cement paste, mortar, brick and vycor glass that measured the ACIS and mechanical strains simultaneously while undergoing temperature changes. The temperature was lowered from 5°C to -80°C and then raised to +20°C. The ACIS results indicate that durability of the material can be assessed using the parameters R, material resistance, and phi, indicative of the frequency dispersion angle. The resistance on freezing values correlates with the amount of pore water freezing. The phi values on freezing are representative of the pore size distribution of the test sample. Resistance and phi data from freezing-thawing tests can be analyzed to assess durability of the sample. A material that is durable to freezing-thawing cycles can be described as having a high resistance at room temperature, a low freezing resistance and small changes in phi. Results were consistent among all the materials tested. Freezing-thawing tests were also conducted on specimens resaturated with salt solutions (5%, 10%, 15%). The results of these tests indicated a lower incipient freezing temperature, increase in pore blockage temperatures, and increased mobility of the pore water during freezing (increase in the change to phi). A series of test were conducted to evaluate the electrode polarization effects associated with the permittivity values at low frequencies. Teflon sheets were used to minimize the electrode polarization effects. It is shown that electrode polarization effects dominate over bulk polarization effects. Effects vary with the porosity of the material.

description: We examined the long-term relationship of psychosocial risk and health behaviors on clinical events in patients awaiting heart transplantation (HTx). Psychosocial characteristics (e.g., depression), health behaviors (e.g., dietary habits, smoking), medical factors (e.g., creatinine), and demographics (e.g., age, sex) were collected at the time of listing in 318 patients (82% male, mean age = 53 years) enrolled in the Waiting for a New Heart Study. Clinical events were death/delisting due to deterioration, high-urgency status transplantation (HU-HTx), elective transplantation, and delisting due to clinical improvement. Within 7 years of follow-up, 92 patients died or were delisted due to deterioration, 121 received HU-HTx, 43 received elective transplantation, and 39 were delisted due to improvement. Adjusting for demographic and medical characteristics, the results indicated that frequent consumption of healthy foods (i.e., foods high in unsaturated fats) and being physically active increased the likelihood of delisting due improvement, while smoking and depressive symptoms were related to death/delisting due to clinical deterioration while awaiting HTx. In conclusion, psychosocial and behavioral characteristics are clearly associated with clinical outcomes in this population. Interventions that target psychosocial risk, smoking, dietary habits, and physical activity may be beneficial for patients with advanced heart failure waiting for a cardiac transplant.

Seasonal migrant labour: a boon for Australian country towns?
Creators: name: Mares, Peter
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In 2002 Queensland farmer Ian Nielsen was unable to harvest 30 per cent of his 80 hectare asparagus crop because he could not secure enough workers to do the picking. As a result 150 tonnes of asparagus worth around $1 million dollars was left in the fields. Most of the asparagus had been destined for export to Japan. Nielsen employs up to 150 casual workers during the asparagus harvest but securing labour is his ‘biggest and most difficult challenge’. He told a Senate committee that the situation was so bad that many of his farming colleagues had given up growing asparagus and switched to ‘crops such as peanuts, which can be mechanically harvested’. He said that similar labour shortages afflict citrus, onion and potato growers: ‘There are not enough workers capable of handling the physical rigours of harvesting fruit and vegetables’ (Nielsen, 2003). The Queensland Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association (now called Growcom) estimates that due to labour shortages its members lose up to 10 per cent of their crops – produce estimated to be worth $900 million (cited in EDC, 2004, p.44). Such problems are not confined to Queensland. Fruit growers from around Bunbury in the southwest of WA say demand for orchard workers outstrips supply, particularly during harvest season (Shine, 2005). In Victoria, Nigel Garrard, the head of SPC-Ardmona, says that for the last three years production at his Shepparton cannery has been lower than it might have been because ‘fruit has been left on the trees because there aren’t enough people to pick it’ (Colman and Korporaal, 2005), while a Yarra Valley berry grower says labour shortages in 2004 forced him to ‘drop’ 6 tonnes of raspberries from his vines. A leading Australian fruit exporter says the lack of a reliable supply of seasonal labour significantly inhibits industry growth in the Murray Valley irrigation region and limits export income.

description: Technology such as television, computers, and video games are often in the line for reasons of why people lack physical activity and tend to gain weight and become obese. In the case of video games, with the advent of the so called “serious games initiative”, a new breed of video games have come into place. Such games are called “exergames” and they are intended to motivate the user to do physical activity. Although there is some evidence that some types of Exergames are more physically demanding than traditional sedentary games, there is also evidence that suggests that such games are not really providing the intensity of exert that is at the recommended levels for a daily exercise. Currently, most exergames have a passive approach. There is no real tracking of the players progress, there is no assessment of his/her level of exert, no contextual information, and there is no adaptability on the game itself to change the conditions of the game and prompt the desired physiological response on the player. In this thesis we present research work done towards the design and development of an architecture and related systems that support a shift in the exertion game paradigm. The contributions of this work are enablers in the design and development of exertion games with a strict serious game approach. Such games should have “exercising” as the primary goal, and a game engine that has been developed under this scheme should be aware of the exertion context of the player. The game should be aware of the level of exertion of the player and adapt the gaming context (in-game variables and exertion interface settings) so that the player can reach a predefined exertion rate as desired. To support such degree of adaptability in a multimedia, multimodal system, we have proposed a system architecture that lays down the general guidelines for the design and development of such systems.

description: The benefits of observing a model when acquiring a new motor skill are well known, however, there is little research on the influence of viewing angle of the model. The purpose of the present experiment was to assess whether a looking-glass (face on) or subjective (facing away) viewing angle would result in different acquisition and retention levels when learning a complex Zumba dance sequence. Greater cognitive effort was expected during the looking-glass condition, consequently resulting in slower acquisition but greater physical performance scores and error recognition/identification. Thirty females were evenly divided into the looking-glass or subjective group and began with the pre-test phase to assess degrees of motivation, self-efficacy, and physical performance. Participants were then lead through six acquisition dances, within which they performed the to-be-learned sequence 18 times. An assessment of cognitive effort followed, then post-test performances and error recognition/identification scores were obtained to conclude the study. While both the looking-glass and subjective conditions demonstrated equal rates of acquisition (p>.05), the looking-glass group performed significantly fewer errors during the post-test (p.05). Based on the results of this study, the looking-glass viewing angle appears to result in better learning of a dance sequence, but cannot be explained by cognitive effort.

description: Cette thèse s’intéresse à l’agentivité des femmes et à la participation de ces dernières aux efforts visant la cessation des hostilités et la consolidation de la paix suite à un conflit armé. Ce travail porte une attention particulière aux obstacles rencontrés par celles désirant participer aux négociations formelles ainsi qu’aux stratégies qu’elles emploient pour les surmonter alors qu’elles sont exclues des modes traditionnels du pouvoir. Trois processus de paix tenus à la suite des conflits en Bosnie, au Burundi et en Afghanistan seront analysés afin d’identifier les divers obstacles auxquelles elles sont confrontées et d’illustrer les stratégies mises en œuvre par celles-ci afin de faire valoir leurs objectifs pour la paix. Ce travail souligne l’apport indéniable des femmes aux efforts de paix et argumente en faveur d’une inclusion systématique de ces dernières dans l’ensemble des initiatives de stabilisation et de reconstruction post-conflictuelles.

description: The 16th April 2016 Mw 7.8 Muisne earthquake in Ecuador caused nearly 700 fatalities, 230,000 injuries and over 35,000 damaged or collapsed homes, leaving 140,000 without adequate housing. The majority of the damaged structures, in particular in urban and peri-urban areas, were constructed from low-rise reinforced concrete frames with unreinforced masonry infill. It was evident by their design that these buildings are generally non-engineered, or at least not correctly engineered, for seismic loads. This paper draws on observations made primarily from the EEFIT reconnaissance mission, augmented from other missions to the affected region, to describe the typical types of damage and failures seen in this building taxonomy, and why these are likely to have occurred. The paper then explores confined masonry as an option for new construction. An example is presented of the successful implementation of confined masonry post-event in the affected region, describing the approach that was adopted, in particular training, promotion and dissemination of the confined masonry technique, as well as the challenges of influencing people’s existing perceptions and styles. The paper concludes with a summary of why confined masonry is considered to be a durable, resilient, easy to construct and appropriate form of new construction in Ecuador.

Application of Bayesian statistics for modelling extreme environmental events
Creators: name: Apputhurai, Pragalathan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research applies the Bayesian methodologies, a forefront in statistical research, to modelling extreme environmental events. It provides a unique contribution by introducing a novel idea of using Bayesian model averaging techniques to account for uncertainty in the form of extremal dependencies in multivariate modelling aspects. The research also goes into great details about statistical extreme value analyses and the challenges of handling extreme events at different spatial locations where dependencies may exist between them. The current state of science for extreme value analyses of spatial processes are made and clearly demonstrated.
A Quasi Stationary Service Architecture for Network Monitoring and Connectivity Prediction in Aeronautical Ad Hoc Network Using Fuzzy C Means Clustering
Creators: name: Soumi, Ghosh
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2014

description: An Aeronautical Ad Hoc Network (AANET) of airborne elements is a high speed mobile network. The AANET has a 3D topology spread across the airspace. The high ground speed of the airborne elements changes the network topology rapidly. This makes AANET highly dynamic in nature. Upholding the connectivity in the network in such dynamic environment is a challenge. The connectivity in the network is primarily in uenced by proximity of airborne elements to each other and their relative velocities. Once an airborne element gets disconnected from the network, it becomes completely oblivious of the network scenario in its neighborhood. In the absence of a monitoring agent in the airspace, a disconnected member of the network largely depends on the ground infrastructure and satellite resources for immediate information regarding its surrounding region. Network monitoring in dynamic environment of AANET is a challenging task, mainly due to the mobility of the airborne elements. We propose an intelligent network monitoring system for AANET. Disconnected members of the network are directed towards region in the airspace with "higher" connectivity and "minimum" traffic under the monitoring system. Our monitoring system depends on a quasi stationary layer of Higher Altitude Platform (HAP) in the airspace. The primary focus of the monitoring system is to mitigate disconnectivity in the AANET. The monitoring of the network is achieved by a periodic monitoring scheme in every HAP. The proposed HAP monitoring system aims at making the AANET more independent of the ground infrastructure and satellite resources. We also reckon Fuzzy C Means (FCM) data clustering as a means to monitor changes in network topology and traffic in the AANET. The FCM clustering is an integral part of our monitoring scheme. Our simulations demonstrate that FCM clustering can efficiently track the network changes in the AANET and identify regions of connectivity in the network.

description: One crucial design characteristic of auditory texts embedded in instructional videos is the speaker gender, which has received some attention from empirical researcher in the recent years. Contrary to the theoretical assumption that similarity between the speaker’s and the learner’s gender might positively affect learning outcomes, the findings have often been mixed, showing null to contrary effects. Notwithstanding the effect on the outcomes, a closer look at how the speaker’s gender and speaker–learner similarities further determine cognitive variables, such as different cognitive load types, is overdue. Moreover, on the part of the learner, the role of situational interest in the learning topic that might be gender related has been neglected so far. Therefore, this study explored the role of speaker and learner gender and their interaction regarding learning outcomes. We broaden our perspective by investigating the effects of gender-related differences concerning situational interest in the topic being taught and by determining different types of cognitive load. In a 2 (female/male speaker) 2 (female/male learner) withinand between-subject design, 95 students learned about female and male human sexual maturity with an instructional video containing auditory explanations. Analysis results indicate that speaker gender and speaker–learner gender similarity had no impact on learning gains, situational interest, and cognitive load types. However, the results demonstrate that learner’s gender, especially for the topic of female sexual maturity, matters the most in line with the assessed variables. Compared with males, females had higher learning gains, reported higher interest in the topic, and invested more germane cognitive resources. Thus, instructional designers may want to consider learner gender-dependent interest and how it can be triggered when creating videos with auditory explanations.

description: In steel members strengthening with CFRP plate, thermal stress is introduced in steel members by temperature change, due to the mismatch of coefficients of linear thermal expansion of steel and CFRP. In the previous study, a reduction technique of thermal stress in steel members, which is additional bonding of aluminum alloy plates with CFRP plates, was proposed. However, by bonding laminated plate consisting of CFRP and aluminum plates on one side of thin steel plate, thermal stress is not completely reduced. Therefore, to confirm the effectiveness of proposed method for one side bonding, heat tests of steel plate with bonding laminated plate on one side were carried out. Additionally, to verify the test results, numerical analysis for proposed method was also carried out. As a result, it was found that the three-layered laminated plate consisting of one CFRP plate and two aluminum plates was required for reduction of thermal stress in thin steel plate.

description: Chemical–biological systems, such as bioreactors, contain stochastic and non-linear interactions which are difficult to characterize. The highly complex interactions between microbial species and communities may not be sufficiently captured using first-principles, stationary, or low-dimensional models. This paper compares and contrasts multiple data analysis strategies, which include three predictive models (random forests, support vector machines, and neural networks), three clustering models (hierarchical, Gaussian mixtures, and Dirichlet mixtures), and two feature selection approaches (mean decrease in accuracy and its conditional variant). These methods not only predict the bioreactor outcome with sufficient accuracy, but the important features correlated with said outcome are also identified. The novelty of this work lies in the extensive exploration and critique of a wide arsenal of methods instead of single methods, as observed in many papers of similar nature. The results show that random forest models predict the test set outcomes with the highest accuracy. The identified contributory features include process features which agree with domain knowledge, as well as several different biomarker operational taxonomic units (OTUs). The results reinforce the notion that both chemical and biological features significantly affect bioreactor performance. However, they also indicate that the quality of the biological features can be improved by considering non-clustering methods, which may better represent the true behaviour within the OTU communities.

description: Nominal schemas have recently been introduced as a new approach for the integration of DL-safe rules into the Description Logic framework. The efficient processing of knowledge bases with nominal schemas remains, however, challenging. We address this by extending the well-known optimisation of absorption as well as the standard tableau calculus to directly handle the (absorbed) nominal schema axioms. We implement the resulting extension of standard tableau calculi in the novel reasoning system Konclude and present further optimisations. In our empirical evaluation, we show the effect of these optimisations and we find that the proposed nominal schema handling performs well even when compared to (hyper)tableau systems with dedicated rule support.

description: Animal manure management practices, principally in regions where there is a surplus of manure are often detrimental to the environment and also represent a potential hazard to human and animal health. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of psychrophilic anaerobic digestion (PAD) in sequencing batch reactors (SBR) as a low cost and easy to operate process to: (a) reduce the pollution potential of swine manure slurry; (b) recover energy; and (c) reduce odours of swine manure slurry. Experiments were carried out in 12 40-Litre SBRs operated under different conditions. Experimental results indicated that PAD of swine manure slurry at 20$\sp\circ$C in intermittently fed SBR: (1) reduced the pollution potential of swine manure slurry by removing 85 to 95% of the soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD); (2) produced biogas at rates from 0.48 to 0.66 L of CH$\sb4$ per gram of volatile solids (VS) fed; and (3) successfully reduced odours. In all experimental runs, the PAD of swine manure slurry in SBR was found very stable. Other interesting findings were that PAD in SBR process does not require mixing and can be intermittently fed only once and three times a week without affecting the SBR stability and performance. The second objective of this study was to model PAD of swine manure slurry in SBR in order to: (1) increase knowledge of PAD in SBR; and (2) predict process performance. Existing mathematical models of anaerobic digestion formed the basis for the two models proposed in this study for PAD in SBR. These two models were: (1) a simple model that considered only two populations of bacteria as well as particulate solubilization rate; and (2) an advanced model that considered six populations of bacteria as well as the interaction between the biological, liquid (physico-chemical) and gas phases. The simple model predicted reasonably well the trend in VA, SCOD accumulation as well as methane production. The advanced model which made use of a large number of kinetic constants also predicted reasonably well the methane production as well as the trend in accumulation in acetic, propionic and butyric acids, dissolved and gaseous hydrogen and SCOD.

description: Rapidly-evolving red supergiants (RSG) lose half or more of their mass before ending their lives as supernovae. Masers allow us to study the mass loss from 4 nearby RSG in AU-scale detail using MERLIN and EVN/global VLBI. The water maser clouds are over-dense and over-magnetised with respect to the surrounding wind. In most cases, the brighter an individual maser component is the smaller its apparent (beamed) FWHM appears, as predicted for approximately spherical clouds. Individual water maser features have a typical half-life of 5-10 yr, but comparison with single dish monitoring suggests that the water vapour clouds themselves survive many decades (the water maser shell crossing time), within which the local masers wink on and off. OH mainline masers are found in the tenuous surrounding gas, overlapping the water maser shell, surrounded by OH 1612-MHz masers at a greater distance from the star.
Multifractal modelling and spatial analysis with GIS: Gold potential estimation in the Mitchell-Sulphurets area, northwestern British Columbia.

description: In combination with statistical modelling and GIS-based (Geographic Information Systems) spatial analysis, fractal and multifractal theory can be used for various purposes in the geosciences. Two multifractal models have previously been developed. One of these is based on the fractal dimension spectrum f($\alpha$) and the other one on the codimension function C($\gamma$). It can be shown that these two multifractal models are identical if $\gamma\ >$ D-$\alpha$(0). For $\gamma $ D$\sb{\rm L}.$ Similar relations hold true for surface areas and volumes of fractal geometries in three-dimensional space. The multifractal model provides new types of functions for modelling the covariance and semivariogram in spatial statistics as well as a new type of second-order intensity function for two-dimensional point processes. These functions are used to describe the underlying spatial structure of Au mineral occurrences in the Iskut River map sheet and for three relatively well known data sets: (1) Cochran's example of the number of tree seedlings per foot along a 200 ft long bed, (2) De Wijs's example of zinc values from a sphalerite-quartz vein near Pulacayo in Bolivia, and (3) Gerrard's example of trees in Lansing Woods. A new version of the weights of evidence technique based on the box-counting method is proposed for integrating various nonfractal and fractal patterns in mineral potential mapping, and is demonstrated with a case study of Au potential estimation in the Iskut River map sheet. The ordinary weights of evidence method is used for geochemical anomaly separation in the Mitchell-Sulphurets mineral district and gives results similar to those obtained with the fractal element concentration-area method. As another nonfractal method of geochemical anomaly separation, a new spatial statistical approach based on U-statistics is proposed which uses a moving average with optimal window radius. This method is tested by computer simulation and for geochemical anomaly separation of Au and Au-associated elements in stream sediment samples from the Iskut River map sheet.

description: We analyze the implications of introducing GDP-linked bonds for economic growth. First, we model a stochastically growing small open economy. The government borrows from the international financial market, collects tax revenue, and provides a public infrastructure good. Sovereign debt may be both conventional and indexed to GDP. Second, we calibrate the model for a developing country. The introduction of GDP-linked bonds increases the optimal debt-to-GDP ratio, public-to-private capital ratio, and tax rate. It also exerts a small negative effect on the mean GDP growth rate as well as a small positive welfare impact. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
On wing sound characteristics and their role in hummingbird communication

Subjects: subject: Biology, Zoology.

description: The limited ability of humans to decipher the signals produced by other animals has undermined our understanding of the level of communication they possess. Within the avian world, non-vocal sounds have frequently been suggested, as possible forms of communication, but to date have not been tested. Previous studies of hummingbird wing sounds and wing beat frequencies have been limited by technological capabilities and/or sampling effort and have subsequently produced incomplete results. Despite this, several studies have used these questionable results to calculate such things as the relationship between wing length and wing beat frequency. In the absence of a firm understanding of the variability of wing beat frequency within and between individuals of each sex, these studies are subject to an unknown degree of error. Chapter one comprehensively documents the wing sounds of four hummingbird species that breed in Canada. Additionally, I document wing trill characteristics, a new interaction behaviour involving an increase in wing beat frequency and the first account of a wing trill in a female hummingbird. In chapter two, supported by the findings of chapter one, I investigate the role of these non-vocal sounds in intra- and inter-species communication by using wing sounds as playback stimuli. The later chapter's positive communication findings open the door to the field of non-vocal hummingbird communication and beyond into the use of non-vocal communication signals in other avian species.
