Theoretical and experimental investigation of the free vibration of parallelogram plates with simply supported and clamped boundary conditions.
Creators: name: Stangier, Stefanie D.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Applied Mechanics.

description: A systematic approach to the free vibration analysis of thin, flat, non-rectangular quadrilateral plates with combinations of simple and clamped supports is presented, using the parallelogram plate as an example. Modifications that Saliba made for the right-triangular plate to the building block superposition method developed by Gorman are implemented. The superposition method is an analytical solution. No simplifications are made to take advantage of the point symmetry of the parallelogram plate, keeping the solution general. The whole plate is divided into two right-triangular and one rectangular segment. Rectangular building blocks are superimposed for each of the segments to meet the required net boundary conditions and the conditions of continuity along the segment interfaces. The Levy-type solution to the eight building blocks used are given, along with the necessary Fourier expansions and a comprehensive guide to assembling the eigenvalue matrix. Numerical results for a wide variety of plates are presented, including numerous mesh and contour plots. Comparison is made to previously published data. The results for the fully clamped parallelogram plate are supported by experimental results. Six aluminum plates were tested for the first six resonance frequencies and the first three mode shapes. Details of the simple, yet highly accurate experimental method are included.
An exploration of mental strategies of astronauts.

Subjects: subject: Education, Educational Psychology.

description: This study explored mental strategies and perspectives of eight Canadian astronauts within a theoretical framework developed in the field of sport psychology. An Astronaut Interview Guide was developed and the interviews analyzed using accepted qualitative analysis procedures. Astronauts attributed their parents and/or community experiences as young people, with providing supportive yet challenging experiences, and credited that environment with their success in being selected to the astronaut program. Attitudes towards achievement revealed a variety of approaches to achieving goals which overall imply a tremendous dedication, commitment and pleasure in doing things as well as they can be done. The use of mental strategies such as imagery, planning and preparation, and self-evaluation, were described. For some astronauts the preservation of family relationships and being a good parent were revealed as important components of their lives.

description: High frame-rate (HFR) videos of action recognition improve fine-grained expression while reducing the spatio-temporal relation and motion information density. Thus, large amounts of video samples are continuously required for traditional data-driven training. However, samples are not always sufficient in real-world scenarios, promoting few-shot action recognition (FSAR) research. We observe that most recent FSAR works build spatio-temporal relation of video samples via temporal alignment after spatial feature extraction, cutting apart spatial and temporal features within samples. They also capture motion information via narrow perspectives between adjacent frames without considering density, leading to insufficient motion information capturing. Therefore, we propose a novel plug-and-play architecture for FSAR called Spatio-tempOral frAme tuPle enhancer (SOAP) in this paper. The model we designed with such architecture refers to SOAP-Net. Temporal connections between different feature channels and spatio-temporal relation of features are considered instead of simple feature extraction. Comprehensive motion information is also captured, using frame tuples with multiple frames containing more motion information than adjacent frames. Combining frame tuples of diverse frame counts further provides a broader perspective. SOAP-Net achieves new state-of-the-art performance across well-known benchmarks such as SthSthV2, Kinetics, UCF101, and HMDB51. Extensive empirical evaluations underscore the competitiveness, pluggability, generalization, and robustness of SOAP. The code is released at https://github.com/wenbohuang1002/SOAP.

Strategies for the induction of mucosal immunity against hepatitis B virus.
Creators: name: McCluskie, Michael J.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Immunology.

description: Most conventional vaccines are administered parenterally (e.g., by intramuscular (IM) or intradermal (ID) injection) and induce systemic but rarely mucosal immunity. Novel vaccination strategies capable of inducing both systemic and mucosal immune responses could greatly reduce infection and morbidity. One such strategy is DNA vaccination whereby the antigen is synthesized in vivo after direct introduction of its encoding sequences. In this thesis, we show that the route of administration of plasmid DNA encoding the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) influences the strength and nature of immune responses in mice and non-human primates. Mucosal immunization using plasmid DNA in saline results in no or weak immune responses. Formulation of DNA with lipid increases levels of reporter gene expression, but apparently not sufficiently to raise immune responses against expressed antigen indicating that other factors are involved. The strong immune responses induced after parenteral administration of DNA appears to be partly due to the adjuvant effect of unmethylated immunostimulatory CpG motifs present in the DNA backbone. Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing immunostimulatory CpG motifs (CpG) are potent adjuvants for induction of Th1-like systemic immune responses against parenterally-delivered proteins. Herein, the adjuvanticity of CpG ODN relative to or in combination with cholera toxin (CT), Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT), the B subunit of CT (CTB) and a non-toxic derivative of LT (LTK63) was evaluated with intranasal delivery. We also evaluate the potential of administering immunostimulatory complexes (comprised of HBsAg complexed with antibodies against HBsAg) by a mucosal route and determine whether immune responses are modulated by using CT or CpG as adjuvants. We demonstrate that CpG ODN, CT and LT augment anti-HBs titers equally, and this is more than with CTB or LTK63. CpG ODN acts synergistically with CT and LT but not CTB or LTK63, however for all combinations, CpG induces a more Th1-like response. The mucosal immune response induced is not restricted to the site of application but is also present at distant mucosal surfaces. These studies may lead to the development of novel human vaccines that protect at the level of entry for mucosal pathogens and may thereby prevent many infectious diseases.

description: Interaction mapping is a powerful strategy to elucidate the biological function of protein assemblies and their regulators. Here, we report the generation of a quantitative interaction network, directly linking 14 human proteins to the AAA+ ATPase p97, an essential hexameric protein with multiple cellular functions. We show that the high-affinity interacting protein ASPL efficiently promotes p97 hexamer disassembly, resulting in the formation of stable p97:ASPL heterotetramers. High-resolution structural and biochemical studies indicate that an extended UBX domain (eUBX) in ASPL is critical for p97 hexamer disassembly and facilitates the assembly of p97:ASPL heterotetramers. This spontaneous process is accompanied by a reorientation of the D2 ATPase domain in p97 and a loss of its activity. Finally, we demonstrate that overproduction of ASPL disrupts p97 hexamer function in ERAD and that engineered eUBX polypeptides can induce cell death, providing a rationale for developing anti-cancer polypeptide inhibitors that may target p97 activity.

Psychological well-being among university students: Problem solving, career-decision-making attitudes, and program commitment.
Creators: name: Miller, Lawrence Sheldon.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Clinical.

description: University administrators are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of the university experience on students' psychological well-being. Bivariate research studies have suggested that social problem solving orientation, career-decision-malting attitudes, and program commitment may be related to student's psychological well-being. Their role in psychological well-being, as suggested by the literature, may not have been investigated completely. For example, these antecedent variables may change as a function of years of university experience. Also, there may be structural relationships between these variables that are better explained by a mediational model. Accordingly, the goals of this study are threefold. First, the relationships among students' social problem solving orientation, career-decision-making attitudes, university program commitment and psychological well-being were investigated. Second, the role of years of university experience relative to social problem solving orientation and career-decision-making attitudes was explored. Third, a path analytic design was proposed to identify potential mediating relationships among the variables related to psychological well-being. Participants included 394 students from the faculties of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa. The results confirmed that social problem solving orientation, career-decision-making attitudes, and university program commitment were all significantly positively correlated to students' psychological well-being. A one-way Anova and post-hoc analyses suggested that years of university experience was positively related to social problem solving orientation and career-decision-making attitudes. However, the hypothesized path model was not supported. Rather, the final cross-validated path design begins with years of university experience leading to social problem solving orientation and career-decision-making attitudes. Career-decision-making attitudes was, in turn, directly related to psychological well-being while social problem solving orientation's influence on psychological well-being was mediated by university program commitment and career-decision-making attitudes. These results point to two major implications. First, future research should adopt a multidimensional longitudinal strategy that takes into account the developmental sequence of variables related to students' psychological well-being. Second, university administrators, career counsellors, and academic advisors should consider ways to develop students' social problem solving orientation to facilitate their career-decision-making attitudes, program commitment, and psychological well-being.

description: We investigate the impact of astrophysical systematics on cosmic shear cosmological parameter constraints from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) and the concordance with cosmic microwave background measurements by Planck. We present updated CFHTLenS cosmic shear tomography measurements extended to degree scales using a covariance calibrated by a new suite of N-body simulations. We analyse these measurements with a new model fitting pipeline, accounting for key systematic uncertainties arising from intrinsic galaxy alignments, baryonic effects in the non-linear matter power spectrum, and photometric redshift uncertainties. We examine the impact of the systematic degrees of freedom on the cosmological parameter constraints, both independently and jointly. When the systematic uncertainties are considered independently, the intrinsic alignment amplitude is the only degree of freedom that is substantially preferred by the data. When the systematic uncertainties are considered jointly, there is no consistently strong preference in favour of the more complex models. We quantify the level of concordance between the CFHTLenS and Planck data sets by employing two distinct data concordance tests, grounded in Bayesian evidence and information theory. We find that the two data concordance tests largely agree with one another and that the level of concordance between the CFHTLenS and Planck data sets is sensitive to the exact details of the systematic uncertainties included in our analysis, ranging from decisive discordance to substantial concordance as the treatment of the systematic uncertainties becomes more conservative. The least conservative scenario is the one most favoured by the cosmic shear data, but it is also the one that shows the greatest degree of discordance with Planck.
Optimal Designs of Synthetic and Double Sampling np Charts Based on Median Run Length and Expected Median Run Length
Creators: name: Tuh, Moi Hua
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study proposes six new np control charts with improved shift detection efficiency. The results gathered indicate that most of these new charts perform better than competing charts. Results obtained also provide major contributions to both academia and industry, providing attribute SPC practitioners with useful advice for selecting the most appropriate chart and paving the way for a new frontier of attribute SPC study. In addition to laying the groundwork for the design process and evaluation of attribute control charts, the findings of this study support the use of attribute control charts in a broad range of applications.
The dynamics of a deep disagreement: Derrida and Ricoeur on metaphor and its relation to philosophy

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: The first chapter is an examination of four projects of clarification which are all studies in one way or another of the deep disagreement between Derrida and Ricoeur. The objective is to show how these studies as clarifying projects simplify and even over-simplify the nature of this disagreement or, more broadly, Derrida's and Ricoeur's both convergent and divergent discourses on metaphor. The following four chapters are the analysis proper of the dynamics of the deep disagreement. These dynamics, being both ethical and epistemological, are as much about the indirect as the direct encounters between Derrida and Ricoeur. The second chapter analyses Derrida's essay, "La mythologie blanche," as challenge to the tradition which Ricoeur, its undeclared champion, must take up. Accordingly, the third and fourth chapters are devoted to analysing how Ricoeur meets this challenge in La metaphore vive. While the third chapter is devoted to analysing Ricoeur's indirect encounter with Derrida's project, the fourth is devoted to analysing his direct encounter. The latter is essentially his critical analysis of "La mythologie blanche" in the last study of La metaphore vive. In turn, Derrida responds to Ricoeur's critique with a polemic and an expose of sorts in "Le retrait de la metaphore." Analysing how Derrida takes aim at Ricoeur through Heidegger is the task of the fifth and final chapter.

description: Background: Convenient, reproducible, and rapid preservation of unique biological specimens is pivotal to their use in microbiome analyses. As an increasing number of human studies incorporate the gut microbiome in their design, there is a high demand for streamlined sample collection and storage methods that are amenable to different settings and experimental needs. While several commercial kits address collection/shipping needs for sequence-based studies, these methods do not preserve samples properly for studies that require viable microbes. Results: We describe the Fecal Aliquot Straw Technique (FAST) of fecal sample processing for storage and subsampling. This method uses a straw to collect fecal material from samples recently voided or preserved at low temperature but not frozen (i.e., 4 °C). Different straw aliquots collected from the same sample yielded highly reproducible communities as disclosed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing; operational taxonomic units that were lost, or gained, between the two aliquots represented very low-abundance taxa (i.e., < 0.3% of the community). FAST-processed samples inoculated into germ-free animals resulted in gut communities that retained on average ~ 80% of the donor’s bacterial community. Assessment of choline metabolism and trimethylamine-N-oxide accumulation in transplanted mice suggests large interpersonal variation. Conclusions: Overall, FAST allows for repetitive subsampling without thawing of the specimens and requires minimal supplies and storage space, making it convenient to utilize both in the lab and in the field. FAST has the potential to advance microbiome research through easy, reproducible sample processing.

Two problems in dynamic graph analytics : maximum flow and online partitioning
Creators: name: Luo, Juntong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Many real-world systems, such as social networks and financial transactions, evolve quickly over time and can be modelled as dynamic graphs. Dynamic graph processing systems emerged to provide timely analysis on these graphs, ingesting graph updates through one or more streams, and providing (on-demand or regularly) answers to a standing query. This thesis explores both the algorithmic and the infrastructural aspects of dynamic graph processing. On the algorithm side, this thesis proposes the vertex-local invariant restoration approach for designing dynamic graph algorithms. With this approach, we propose a novel algorithm for the maximum flow problem, targeting graphs that evolve quickly with millions of edge changes per second. The algorithm works well on a shared-nothing, asynchronous computational model in which the graph topology is updated concurrently as the algorithm executes. We prove that the algorithm is correct and provide a thorough experimental evaluation with difficult cases on large real-world dynamic graphs, showing that the algorithm obtains high throughputs, supports both additions and deletions efficiently, and provides results with low latency and high stability. On the infrastructure side, this thesis explores a new problem that appears when processing dynamic graphs: online partitioning. A common model in dynamic graph processing is that the system ingests a stream of edge updates (edge add/remove/modify events), and creates and assigns a vertex—and its edge list—to a partition when first observing an edge that references the vertex. The common solution is to use random partitioning—vertices assigned to partitions based on hashes of their IDs, but it leads to suboptimal edge-cut minimization and/or load balance. This thesis proposes the Minimum Load with Affinity framework for systematic exploration of the trade-offs in a partitioning strategy: load balance, edge-cut minimization, and ingestion delay. The preliminary results show that MLA can (i) achieve a 7%-14% reduction in edge-cuts without sacrificing load balance (or a much higher reduction by sacrificing load balance), and (ii) achieve both better edge-cut minimization and load balance by ingesting edges in batches and reasoning about batch properties (at the cost of higher ingestion latency).

Year: 2025

description: My dissertation, Neohumanismo: una propuesta de regeneración ética y sociopolítica en el ensayo español del siglo XXI (Neohumanism: A Proposal for an Ethical and Sociopolitical Regeneration in the 21st-Century Spanish Essay), studies the writing of four Spanish authors: Javier Sádaba, Adela Cortina, Elizabeth Duval, and Jesús Mosterín. Through a close reading analysis of selected texts, I explore and establish the connection between the essayists’ ethical and political views and a new humanist thought. This thought is a revision and redefinition of what being human means, and a response to the problems of our neoliberal and capitalist society. More specifically, I show how these thinkers regenerate the concept of an ethical self along with its role in our society; a reconditioning that can be described as horizontal and interrelational, and that has already changed the Spanish socio-political practice of the XXI century.

description: Approximately 33% of normal-length (21–35 days) cycles have subclinical ovulatory disturbances and lack sufficient progesterone, although their normal length ensures enough estrogen. Subclinical ovulatory disturbances are related to significant premenopausal spine bone loss (−0.86%/year). Molimina, non-distressing premenstrual experiences, may detect ovulation within normal-length cycles. This prospective study assessed the relationship between molimina and ovulation. After 1-cycle of daily diary and first morning urine collections, women answered the Molimina Question (MQ): “Can you tell by the way you feel that your period is coming?” and were invited to share (a) predictive premenstrual experience(s). A 3-fold increase in follicular-luteal pregnanediol levels confirmed ovulation. In 610 spontaneously menstruating women (not on hormonal contraception, mean age 31.5 ± 5.3, menarche age 12.7 ± 1.5, cycle length [CL] 29 days, MQ positive in 89%), reported premenstrual experiences which included negative moods (62%), cramps (48%), bloating (39%), and front (26%) or axillary (25%) breast tenderness. Of 432 women with pregnanediol-documented cycles, 398 (92%) were ovulatory (CL: 29 ± 5) and 34 (8%) had ovulatory disturbances (CL: 32 ± 14). Women with/without ovulatory cycles were similar in parity, body mass index, smoking, dietary restraint and the MQ; ovulatory-disturbed cycles were longer. Molimina did not confirm ovulation. A non-invasive, inexpensive ovulation indicator is needed to prevent osteoporosis.

Exploring Precision Timing of Millisecond Pulsars with Wide-Bandwidth Observations
Creators: name: Shamohammadi, Mohsen
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis studies the masses, velocities, and interstellar medium effects of rapidly spinning neutron stars called millisecond pulsars. The masses of seven pulsars and their binary companions are measured. A large sample of millisecond pulsar velocities were measured and their distributions in the galaxy were analysed. The random variations in the electron density towards these millisecond pulsars were analysed for their consistency between measurement methods between observations conducted at two telescopes. The thesis also presents RFIHunter for excising interference from radio pulsar observations. These studies enhance our understanding of fundamental physics of pulsars and the Milky Way kinematics, and will benefit astronomers.

description: We consider a density-stratified fluid composed of two immiscible layers separated by a sharp interface. We study the regime of long internal waves interacting with modulated surface wave packets and describe their resonant interaction by a system of equations where the internal wave solves a high-order Benjamin-Ono (BO) equation coupled to a linear Schrödinger equation for the envelope of the free surface. The perturbation methods are based on the Hamiltonian formulation for the original system of irrotational Euler's equations as described in Benjamin-Bridges [J. Fluid Mech. 333, 1997] and Craig-Guyenne-Kalisch [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 58, 2005]. We also establish a local wellposedness result for a reduced BO-Schrödinger system using an approach developed by Linares-Ponce-Pilod [J. Diff. Eqs. 250, 2011].

description: We present observations made with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), the Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) and the Giant Metre-Wave Telescope of the radio source within the galaxy WISE J071634.59-190039.2, claimed to be host of FRB 150418 by Keane et al. We have established a common flux density scale between the ATCA and JVLA observations, the main result of which is to increase the flux densities obtained by Keane et al. At a frequency of 5.5 GHz, the source has a mean flux density of 140 mu Jy and is variable on short time-scales with a modulation index of 0.36. Statistical analysis of the flux densities shows that the variations seen are consistent with the refractive interstellar scintillation of the weak active galactic nucleus at the centre of the galaxy. It may therefore be the case that the fast radio burst (FRB) and the galaxy are not associated. However, taking into account the rarity of highly variable sources in the radio sky, and our lack of knowledge of the progenitors of FRBs as a class, the association between WISE J071634.59-190039.2 and FRB 150418 remains a possibility.
Mathematical models to understand the role of delay and noise in miR-17-92 regulatory network
Creators: name: Sharma, Akshay
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis seeks to investigate the intricate relationship between microRNAs (miR-17-92), proteins E2F and Myc, and their role in regulating cellular pathways. Recent studies in cancer biology have demonstrated the vital role of microRNAs in tumor development, either as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Using mathematical modelling, this thesis endeavours to uncover the complexities of the non-linear systems between miR-17-92 and E2F/Myc, thereby elucidating the molecular basis of cancer and the role of microRNAs in disease. It is hoped that this in-depth examination will reveal new information about the interaction between these components.
Automating assignment of semantic relations in TANKA
Creators: name: Bhatia, Ramanjot Singh
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Theory of Semantic Relations is one of the oldest linguistic theories dating back to at least 5th century BC. Over the years a multitude of different theories and sets of relations have been developed in order to capture the semantics of a language. This has further gained importance with the desire to have artificial intelligence systems with the ability to comprehend human language. The focus of this thesis is such a system, TANKA. TANKA is a knowledge engineering aid which helps extract semantic relations from a semi-technical text as pairs of syntactic units and assigns them semantic relations. This thesis presents a feasibility study of automating the assignment of semantic relations in TANKA. The thesis looks at different methods and resources that will help to progress the system from a semi-automatic process to a fully automatic process. For the purposes of analyzing the feasibility of this task, this thesis constructs a new dataset and looks into the use of two feature-rich parsers as sources of syntactic features. It also studies the utility of semantic resources such as WordNet, LDOCE and Roget's in order to find features for automating the assignment of semantic relations. A variety of combinations of these are tested to get an insight into the feasibility of this task.

Towards microwave sensor-integrated smart coatings for real-time erosive wear monitoring
Creators: name: Balasubramanian, Vishal
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The degradation of protective coatings due to erosion, delamination, and corrosion compromises the structural integrity of critical assets in aviation, marine, and infrastructure industries. Existing non-destructive testing (NDT) methods lack real-time monitoring capabilities, suffer from environmental interference, and exhibit poor spatial localization, limiting their effectiveness in industrial applications. This thesis presents the design, development, and experimental validation of microwave-based coating health monitoring systems, focusing on enhancing detection accuracy, spatial localization, and environmental robustness through differential and multi-resonant sensor architectures. Firstly, a wired differential split-ring resonator (SRR) sensor was developed and validated for coating wear detection in homogeneous mono-layered, and heterogeneous multi-layered protective coatings with a sensitivity in the order of 10s of μm. The system demonstrated a 4 MHz increase in resonant frequency per ~25 μm of wear for coating thicknesses less than 1 mm. Additionally, in multi-layered protective coatings, the system accurately distinguished wear depth and layer-specific erosion while self-compensating for environmental fluctuations. Subsequently, the developed microwave sensor was expanded for simultaneous coating wear detection and localization. A wired multi-resonant SRR sensor was developed, employing three resonators operating at distinct frequencies, alongside a shielded reference SRR. This system achieved an average sensitivity of 35 MHz per 125 µm of coating wear, effectively localizing wear regions while mitigating environmental noise. Additionally, a passive frequency-selective surface (FSS)-based wireless sensor was developed for wear detection over large surfaces, while being integrated with artificial intelligence methods for coating damage localization and augmented reality technology to visualize the damaged region. Finally, a passive differential FSS system was designed to minimize environmental fluctuations. The system maintained minimal hysteresis while detecting coating wear in real-time. The developed FSS sensor could detect coating delamination, in addition to integration with a multi-resonant FSS system for damage localization without the need for post-processing. This thesis advances the body of knowledge in microwave-based non-destructive testing by integrating for the first time a differential microwave sensor, a multi-resonant architecture, AI-driven wear localization, and augmented reality visualization for real-time, passive, and environmentally robust coating health monitoring, thus promising its application in aerospace, and civil infrastructure industries.
