description: Introduction:
 Acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) is a relatively rare condition characterized by central or paracentral scotoma in the presence of a generally good visual acuity. This report aims to highlight the consideration for a diagnosis of acute macular neuroretinopathy in a case of scotoma. Methodology:
 Case report. Results:
 A 32-year-old Malay lady, presented with incidental finding of right eye central scotoma while procuring new pair of glasses. Visual acuity was 6/6 in both eyes with unremarkable anterior segment findings and normal intraocular pressure. Dilated fundus showed pink optic disc with increased cup-disc ratio of 0.7 and temporal thinning, flat retina and macula, with good foveal reflex. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of right eye revealed thickened outer plexiform layer (OPL). Brain imaging was normal. Various tests to determine infectious and immunologic etiologies were performed only to reveal unremarkable results. Special ophthalmic imaging to ascertain vascular etiologies were also unexceptional, as they unveiled normal perfusion and flow of the choroid and retinal vessels. Patient was started on a course of oral prednisolone over a period of 2 months, however central scotoma persisted to a minimum, evidently so on Amsler grid chart and Humphrey Visual Field test. Discussion/Conclusion:
 Diagnosis of AMN should be considered when dealing with cases presenting with scotoma despite normal looking fundus and neuroimaging findings. Disclaimer: Abstract text might vary slightly from what is displayed in the e-poster.

description: The event-by-event multiplicity distribution, the energy densities and energy density weighted eccentricity moments epsilon_n (up to n=6) at early times in heavy-ion collisions at both RHIC (root-s=200 GeV) and LHC (root-s=2.76 TeV) are computed in the IP-Glasma model. This framework combines the impact parameter dependent saturation model (IP-Sat) for nucleon parton distributions (constrained by HERA deeply inelastic scattering data) with an event-by-event classical Yang-Mills description of early-time gluon fields in heavy-ion collisions. The model produces multiplicity distributions that are convolutions of negative binomial distributions without further assumptions or parameters. The eccentricity moments are compared to the MC-KLN model; a noteworthy feature is that fluctuation dominated odd moments are consistently larger than in the MC-KLN model.

Robotic and Imaging Biomarkers of Sensorimotor Dysfunction in Hemiparetic Children after Perinatal Stroke
Creators: name: Kuczynski, Andrea

Subjects: Neuroscience

description: Perinatal ischemic stroke results from focal cerebral arterial or venous occlusion and usually causes lifelong disability. Perinatal stroke is the leading cause of hemiparetic cerebral palsy, and may result in impairment in both sensory and motor function. A major limitation in assessing sensory and motor function following stroke is a lack of objective, sensitive measurement tools which are required to advance personalized therapeutic strategies. In this study, we used a novel robotic exoskeleton (KINARM) to assess sensory and motor function in hemiparetic children with perinatal stroke. Using diffusion tensor imaging, we further sought to better understand changes in sensorimotor pathway microstructure following perinatal stroke and their relationship with behaviour. We studied 50 children with perinatal stroke (arterial or venous) and 150 typically developing children aged 6 to 19 years. Children with perinatal stroke demonstrated diverse impairments in both sensory and motor function relative to controls. Mean group differences were greater for arterial strokes compared to venous. Proprioceptive deficits included dysfunction in both robotic position-matching and kinesthesia tasks that correlated poorly with beside sensory tests. Both stroke groups demonstrated impaired motor reaching in the contralesional limb, with greater deficits in the arterial group. The ipsilesional, “unaffected” arm of arterial cases also often showed impairments. Robotic sensory and motor performance was often associated with the structural connectivity of the corresponding lesioned tract as measured by diffusion tensor imaging. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of how sensory and motor systems develop following unilateral perinatal injury and how these relate to clinical function. We add new components to emerging developmental plasticity models of perinatal stroke including detailed functional outcomes of both upper extremities and measures of structural connectivity in related major tracts. Such knowledge can inform emerging neuromodulation trials towards personalized neurorehabilitation and improved outcomes for hemiparetic children.

description: Introduction:
 Precision Medicine(PM)is an emerging approach to healthcare delivery that takes into account individual variability in genes,environment and lifestyle.Scientists are now able to identify various germline and somatic mutations via molecular testing, leading to new drug discoveries, achieving promising outcome in cancer treatment. Methodology:
 Systematic review of literatures available Findings & Discussions:
 Pharmacogenomics which is the study of how genes affect one's response to drugs, allows better driven therapeutic decisions by its enhanced risk stratifying capability of the therapeutics therefore improve cancer survival. However, individuals who undergo pharmacogenomic testing maybe vulnerable to genetic discrimination. There is no law enforcement in Malaysia that protect them from discrimination by insurers and employers.The informed consent in relation to pharmacogenomic testing is also comparatively more complex and lengthy.The public with limited genetic literacy about the implications of genomic testing maybe vulnerable for exploitation into research.The lack of standardisation in dealing with disclosure of the genetic information is another concern. Oncologists and onco-surgeons are not routinely trained to deliver genetic counselling There should be shared responsibilities in order to cope with the rising patient loads.Additionally,the population-wide access to genomic testing and therapeutics is also not presently attainable.The access to PM may also be cost-prohibitive if the patients' genotypes indicate expensive therapeutics that fall outside the standard of care.On long run, this therapeutic system would potentially exacerbate the existing health inequalities.

 Conclusion:
 PM results in earlier diagnosis and better prognostication of disease. However, the various ESLIs need to be addressed.Multi-stakeholders need to be prioritized in order to leverage resources and expertise in this.

description: We give a detailed treatment of the back-reaction effects on the Hawking spectrum in the late-time expansion within the semiclassical approach to the Hawking radiation. We find that the boundary value problem defining the action of the modes which are regular at the horizon admits in general the presence of caustics. We show that for radii less that a certain critical value $r_c$ no caustic occurs for all values of the wave number and time and we give a rigorous lower bound on such a critical value. We solve the exact system of non linear equations defining the motion, by an iterative procedure rigorously convergent at late times. The first two terms of such an expansion give the $O(ω/M)$ correction to the Hawking spectrum.

A high accuracy CMOS camera based 3D optical tracking system design
Creators: name: Huang, Yingling
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis presents the design and implementation of a high accuracy optical tracking system. The primary contributions of this thesis include the integration of the 3D optical tracking systems, noise correction algorithms, target location algorithms, and camera calibration algorithms with lens distortion identification. With the best combination of these algorithms, the achieved 3D RMS error for the 3D position estimation is 41 for a measuring range of 500 mm by 500 mm on XY plane and 10 mm in Z. For most machines and robots, MDOF motion sensing in real time is required. Current optical tracking systems for MDOF motion measurement are either low accuracy or low measurement rate. For instance, none of these systems can provide over 10 kHz measurement rate for real time sensing. The optical tracking system presented in this thesis can potentially achieve high measurement rate up to 10 kHz and micron level accuracy. Target location algorithms are widely studied. However, to the best of the author’s knowledge, no experimental comparison of these different algorithms in 3D optical tracking systems was found in the literature. In addition, no report on the accuracy comparison of different lens distortion calibration methods was presented in the literature. Actually, both target location and lens calibration methods have great impact on the accuracy of the 3D optical tracking. Therefore, this thesis also investigates on the performance evaluation of target location algorithms in the 3D tracking system and identifies the lens distortion model for the lenses.

description: With an ever-increasing reliance on small and medium sized firms for the creation of new jobs, policy makers have encouraged the development of entrepreneurship courses and programs in post-secondary institutions around the world (Oosterbeek, Van Praag, & Ijsselstein, 2010) to increase the number of entrepreneurs who create these firms. This exploratory study seeks to see if one or more of three psychological theories of learning best contribute to the development of entrepreneurial intent in students taking courses overtly related to entrepreneurship. These include the behaviourist, cognitivist and constructivist psychological theories of learning. The goal of the dissertation was to determine those teaching methods that have the greatest affect on a student’s entrepreneurial intent. In conjunction with available quantitative data from the International Study of Entrepreneurship Education Outcomes (ISEEO), qualitative grounded theory methodology (Glaser & Strauss, 2009; Strauss & Corbin, 1990) was used to develop a theory using grounded theory analysis guidelines (Charmaz, 2006). Theses guidelines involved coding, concept grouping, and characteristic development. A theory was developed building upon Allport’s (1935) tri-component theory of attitudes to explain how teaching methods affect behaviour, which affects attitude toward entrepreneurship. The theory is that constructivist-teaching methods influence post-secondary students to “do” the things that entrepreneurs do. This initiates the behavioural component of attitude, which in conjunction with affect and cognition, influences attitude change. This attitude change in entrepreneurship students contributes to increased positive entrepreneurial intention as compared to students that are taught using primarily objectivist or cognitivist instructional techniques.

description: From the new measurement of F_L at HERA we derive fixed-Q^2 averages . We compare these with bounds which are rigorous in the framework of the standard dipole picture. The bounds are sharpened by including information on the charm structure function F_2^(c). Within the experimental errors the bounds are respected by the data. But for 3.5 GeV^2 <= Q^2 <= 20 GeV^2 the central values of the data are close to and in some cases even above the bounds. Data on F_L/F_2 significantly exceeding the bounds would rule out the standard dipole picture at these kinematic points. We discuss, furthermore, how data respecting the bounds but coming close to them can give information on questions like colour transparency, saturation and the dependencies of the dipole-proton cross section on the energy and the dipole size.

description: The purpose of this qualitative case study was to understand the impact of a choral leadership practice that aligns with transformational leadership and an ubuntu ethic on the rehearsal and performance practices of a youth choir, and on the development of choristers as global citizens. The secondary purpose was to examine these rehearsal and performance practices and the youth choir’s repertoire in light of the canon of Western art music and traditional choral practice, specifically notions of music as performance (Auslander 2006, 2013; Cook 2001, 2003, 2013) and musicking (Small 1998). The study investigated the leadership practice of Scott Leithead, one of Canada’s foremost youth choirs, and his work with Kokopelli of Edmonton, AB. Kokopelli was selected because of its excellence as evidenced by frequent invitations to perform in national and international festivals and conferences, its innovative programming and repertoire, and its ongoing outreach program, African Projects, which supports Kokopelli’s sister choirs in Namibia and South Africa. Ethnographic data collection included interviews with Leithead, five current choristers, four former choristers, and an African Projects exchange student; observations of rehearsals, workshops, and concerts; and artifacts from one choral season. Two main research lenses were used to analyze the data: transformational leadership (Bass 1985, 1998; Bass and Riggio 2006), specifically its four components of idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration; and ubuntu, a southern African philosophy of humanism. Findings indicate that Leithead’s behaviours align with transformational leadership and his moral motivation is consistent with an ubuntu ethic, a combination which corresponds to Bass’s (1998) categorization of an authentic transformational leader. The study presents suggestions for choral directors, although implications from this research are applicable to leaders outside of music as well.

description: Introduction:
 Chronic otitis media is a relatively common disease. Nowadays it commonly believe that potentially fatal intracranial complications are rare with the advent of antibiotics and better healthcare. In this case report, we present a young gentleman who had undiagnosed chronic otitis media complicated with fatal intracranial complications. Case Report:
 A 23 years old gentleman presented with 6 days history of fever with right sided otalgia and facial paralysis.On the day of admission he also developed weakness of the left lower limb. Further history revealed that he had recurrent episode of otorhoea and otalgia for many years without prior consultation with otolaryngologist. Examination revealed spike of temperature with right sided facial nerve palsy House Brickman grade V and effusion with retracted tympanic membrane on the right ear with granulation tissue. Neurological examination showed reduce power on the left lower limb. His white cell count raised to 30 and increased C reactive protein (CRP) to 125. Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) was done, showing subdural empyema with associated mass effect,midline shift, generalized edema, right uncal herniation, complicated with dural venous sinus thrombosis and mastoiditis. He was started on intravenous ceftriaxone and underwent examination under microscope, craniotomy and evacuation of subdural empyema. Pus culture and sensitivity (C&S) grew bacteroides stercoris. Repeated CT scan post-operative showed unchanged subdural collection at right paramedian and right tentorium cerebelli regions with associated generalized edema, mass effect and suspicious uncal herniation. His condition deteriorated and later underwent decompressive craniectomy. Unfortunately his clinical conditions continue to deteriorate further till he finally succumbed to his illness. Conclusion:

description: New techniques are presented to advance microseismic interpretation of the hydraulic fracture process. Numerical simulations were developed to present the majority of the claims of novelty and a few previously developed ones were modi ed to present new insights. First, two processing techniques are used for analysis of a microseismic double couple source mechanism. A time shifted hyperbolic Radon transform scheme was applied to a synthetic and a real microseismic event to obtain its lag time and spatial location. Second, a new method is developed to deal statistically with missing microseismic events that are too far from the monitoring well to be detected. This new method, b value energy correction method (MbEC), begins by unbiasing the catalogue as a function of distance and magnitude, then characterizing the frequency magnitude distribution and nally correcting for missing radiated seismic energy. The corrected energy is compared to the fracture energy to calculate seismic e ciency and the fracture energy is compared to injection energy to compute fracture e ciency. The energy correction and comparisons are useful for evaluating changes in microseismic activity. Third, a numerical algorithm is developed to analyse the energy breakdown of the hydraulic fracture process. This energy breakdown based model technique is developed by incorporating microseismic events in space. This model is able to constrain and validate the model geometry through parameter adjustments. The novelty is in the integration of microseismic observations in the numerical simulation that was developed speci cally to characterize the reservoir. Fourth, a numerical algorithm is developed that couples the multi-physics interaction between formation elasticity, fracture uid ow and mechanics equations to initiate and propagate a fracture. The novelty in this algorithm lies in using the microseismic events as the fracture propagation criteria, in time and space, for reservoir property characterization. Case studies are presented in all chapters to illustrate the applicability of each new idea.

description: We find that low-degree low-order g-modes become unstable in metal-poor low-mass stars due to the $\varepsilon$-mechanism of the pp-chain. Since the outer convection zone of these stars is limited only to the very outer layers, the uncertainty in the treatment of convection does not affect the result significantly. The decrease in metallicity leads to decrease in opacity and hence increase in luminosity of a star. This makes the star compact and results in decrease in the density contrast, which is favorable to the $\varepsilon$-mechanism instability. We find also instability for high order g-modes of metal-poor low-mass stars by the convective blocking mechanism. Since the effective temperature and the luminosity of metal-poor stars are significantly higher than those of Pop I stars, the stars showing $γ$ Dor-type pulsation are substantially less massive than in the case of Pop I stars. We demonstrate that those modes are unstable for about $1\,M_\odot$ stars in the metal-poor case.

description: This thesis studies the physical seismic modeling of a simulated fractured medium to examine variations of seismic re ection amplitudes with source-receiver o set and azimuth (AVAZ). The intent is to extract information about the fracture orientation and magnitude of the anisotropy of a naturally fractured medium. The simulated fractured medium is constructed from phenolic LE-grade material which exhibits orthorhombic symmetry. For initial characterization of the phenolic model, its elastic sti ness coe cients were determined from group velocities. The group velocities along various directions were obtained from three-component physical model transmission data. The phenolic model approximates a weakly anisotropic layer with horizontal transverse isotropy (HTI). Three-dimensional (3D) physical model re ection data were acquired over a model consisting of the simulated fractured layer sandwiched between two isotropic plexiglas layers submerged in water. Interference between primary and ghost events was avoided with a careful 3D seismic survey design. After deterministic amplitude corrections, including a correction for the directivity e ect of the physical model transducers, re ection amplitudes agreed with the amplitudes predicted by the Zoeppritz equations, con rming the suitability of the 3D physical model data for a quantitative amplitude analysis. Linear AVAZ inversions for the fracture orientation and HTI anisotropic parameters (including shear-wave splitting parameter) were performed on P-wave re ection amplitudes from the top of the simulated fractured medium. Sensitivity analysis of the inversions results, including variations of the background velocity model and maximum incident angle used, con rms the accuracy of the amplitude analysis. The results reveal that the amplitude analysis of the P-wave data alone allows for extraction the information about the shear-wave anisotropy con ned in the P-wave multi-o set and multi-azimuth amplitude data, without any S-measurements.

description: The synthesis and study of new organic molecules for applications in organic electronics is a growing field within the chemical sciences. Research in our group attempts to address a particular need for small-molecules that can function as n-type organic semiconductors, which transport electrons in organic electronic devices such as organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) or organic field effect transistors (OFETs). Not only is there a general lack in the number of new n-type molecules in the literature, but there are even fewer examples of these electron-poor molecules that also have the capability to absorb light in the visible and near infrared region of the solar spectrum in order to contribute to the overall efficiency in an organic photovoltaic cell. The goal of the work in this thesis was to design new electron-poor molecules based on pyrene quinones and their derivatives, and to investigate the structure-property relationships that lead to optimal energy levels, light absorption, and long-range ordering of the molecules in the solid state. Using the donor-acceptor approach, a series of new chromophores was synthesized with pyrene quinones as the central acceptor moieties and N,N-dialkyl-4-ethynyl aniline substituents as the donor portions. By varying the substitution pattern of donor and acceptor portions around the pyrene ring, and the strength of the acceptor moiety, important structure property relationships were discovered.

description: The BCS and/or HFB theories are extended by treating the effect of four quasi-particle states perturbatively. The approach is tested on the pairing hamiltonian, showing that it combines the advantage of standard perturbation theory valid at low pairing strength and of non-perturbative approaches breaking particle number valid at higher pairing strength. Including the restoration of particle number, further improves the description of pairing correlation. In the presented test, the agreement between the exact solution and the combined perturbative + projection is almost perfect. The proposed method scales friendly when the number of particles increases and provides a simple alternative to other more complicated approaches.
Boundary Crossing and MOOC Design

description: This case study examined instructional designers’ perceptions of opportunities for formal and informal learning in a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) design. Cultural, historical, and technological influences interact within activity systems in which we teach and learn (Engeström, 2009a). Synthesis, analysis, and reflection upon findings resulted in answers to the central research question of how instructional designers perceive learners’ opportunities for boundary crossing between formal and informal learning within a specific MOOC design. Thus, this research study was conceptualized to inform a deeper understanding of design considerations that may be able to support both formal and informal learning opportunities in MOOCs. The research, a case study using mixed methods procedures, was conducted over three phases: a survey (Phase I), focus group interviews using a semi-structured protocol allowing the research to build on survey results (Phase II), and individual interviews to build on both the results of the survey and focus groups (Phase III). Findings identified key factors that influenced participants’ perceptions of opportunities for formal and informal learning, and boundary crossing within the MOOC design. The findings suggest participants perceived both formal and informal learning as activity systems. Designer-participant perceptions of the potential for boundary crossing between formal and informal activity systems identified tensions and contradictions in relation to the course structure and navigation, learning objectives (as known, unknown and unknowable), and designing for prescriptive and self-directed learning. Participants’ perceptions of opportunities for formal and informal learning, and boundary crossing within the MOOC design were influenced by prior formal instructional design experiences. The study surfaced implications for MOOC design that may support instructional design efforts for future MOOCs. A cultural, historical, and technological approach to design (Engeström, 2009a) may provide a framework to innovate, experiment, prototype, and analyze in order to augment e-learning -- particularly MOOC --success, create synergies between research and design activities, and intentionally factor informal learning integration into contemporary design and development.

description: Operation of waste cells as bioreactors is an attractive option for managing municipal solid waste. Among various techniques, leachate recirculation is one of the most promising techniques for accelerating waste degradation in landfill bioreactors. Although leachate recirculation has been practised in some landfills worldwide, leachate augmentation with enzymes, prior to its recirculation, to enhance the waste degradation and gas production in anaerobic landfill bioreactors is a relatively new concept, and little is known about its applicability. This research was undertaken to determine the viability of enzymatic augmentation of leachate with peroxidase enzymes to enhance the waste degradation rates at later stages of anaerobic bioreactor operation. A comprehensive set of laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the viability of this process and to identify the process parameters. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the cumulative methane production in enzyme-added batch reactors and flow-through columns compared to the corresponding control operation. This observation is attributed to an increase in the fraction of waste being degraded as indicated by the increasing levels of dissolved organic carbon and decreased lignin levels in the waste.

The Hydrogeology of a Rock Glacier and Its Effect on Stream Temperature

description: Rock glaciers can be important aquifers that supply streamflow during dry periods and provide cold-water refuges in mountain streams. This study investigated the hydrogeological and thermal processes within an inactive talus rock glacier, and the effects of its groundwater discharge on stream temperature. Permafrost in the rock glacier is associated with the presence of large coarse blocky surficial materials, and appears to have minimal effect on groundwater flowpaths and sources. The primary control on groundwater flow and storage in the rock glacier is the hydrostratigraphy at the rock glacier base, where water inputs displace long-term groundwater storage. Either a basal low-conductivity layer (‘transmissivity feedback’ mechanism) or depressions in fractured bedrock (‘fill-spill-drain’ mechanism) are postulated to represent this control. The cold groundwater discharged from the rock glacier strongly cools the adjacent creek, providing a cold-water refuge that may be resilient to climatic warming.

description: The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model (NMSSM) with a Higgs sector containing five neutral and two charged Higgs bosons allows for a rich phenomenology. In addition, the plethora of parameters provides many sources of CP violation. In contrast to the Minimal Supersymmetric Extension, CP violation in the Higgs sector is already possible at tree-level. For a reliable understanding and interpretation of the experimental results of the Higgs boson search, and for a proper distinction of Higgs sectors provided by the Standard Model or possible extensions, the Higgs boson masses have to be known as precisely as possible including higher-order corrections. In this paper we calculate the one-loop corrections to the neutral Higgs boson masses in the complex NMSSM in a Feynman diagrammatic approach adopting a mixed renormalization scheme based on on-shell and $\bar{DR}$ conditions. We study various scenarios where we allow for tree-level CP-violating phases in the Higgs sector and where we also study radiatively induced CP violation due to a non-vanishing phase of the trilinear coupling $A_t$ in the stop sector. The effects on the Higgs boson phenomenology are found to be significant. We furthermore estimate the theoretical error due to unknown higher-order corrections by both varying the renormalization scheme of the top and bottom quark masses and by adopting different renormalization scales. The residual theoretical error can be estimated to about 10%.
