Test implementation of embedded cores-based sequential circuits using Verilog HDL under Altera MAX Plus II development environment
Creators: name: Jin, Chuan
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: A Verilog HDL digital circuit fault simulator to detect permanent stuck-at logic faults for embedded cores-based synchronous sequential circuits is proposed in this thesis. The fault simulator can emulate a typical built-in self-testing (BIST) environment that utilizes a test pattern generator that sends its outputs to a module under test (MUT), with the resulting output from the MUT being fed into a test data analyzer. A fault is detected if the module response is different from that of the fault-free MUT. The fault simulator is suitable for testing synchronous sequential circuits described at the gate and flip-flop level in Verilog HDL. The subject thesis describes the detailed architecture and implementation of the fault simulator. Some simulation experiments on ISCAS 89 sequential benchmark circuits are also provided and discussed. The thesis also explores possible application of the ideas proposed to current embedded cores-based systems-on-chip (SOC) technologies, specifically in the context of testing memory-based synchronous digital systems.
Indoor RF positioning system using collaborative trilateration method
Creators: name: Ling, Llewellyn Liu Wee
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In recent years, there is a growing need for location aware systems such as inventory tracking and logistics, safety and security, navigational and tracking systems and etcetera. However, the accuracy of the current technology such as GPS is limited to outdoor environments. Despite the advancement of GPS, there is still a huge gap in the area of study for indoor location aware systems. Advancement in Wi-Fi and its wide acceptance has made it an attractive candidate for this study. This study proposes a design and proof of concept of a low cost and robust indoor positioning algorithm using Wi-Fi technology.
Beyond “Romanization”: Reevaluating the annexation of Arabia Petraea

description: In 106 CE, the Roman Empire annexed the Nabataean Kingdom as the province of Arabia Petraea in a process that, to date, remains poorly understood. In the absence of clear evidence for a Romano-Nabataean conflict, the dominant annexation theory describes a peaceful process, in which the Nabataean kingdom willingly became a province of the Roman empire. Recent studies (al-Otaibi 2011; Cimadomo 2019) have sought to complicate this narrative through the reinterpretation of archaeological and epigraphic data tied to the event, arguing that the annexation did, in fact, meet resistance in some form. This study builds upon the contributions of this new work through a consideration of how the peaceful annexation model, which presumes native passivity (predicated on Roman silence and an absence of data), has the potential to do interpretive violence to indigenous voices in antiquity. This thesis reconsiders the annexation evidence, to move beyond the discussion of the peaceful/violent binary and frames the annexation debate through a discussion of traditions of European imperialist thought on paradigms of cultural change and its influence on the development of Roman provincial archaeology as a field.

description: This thesis addresses several questions: what wares were Hellenistic Moldmade bowls produced? What motifs are displayed on Hellenistic Moldmade bowls? How do the motifs and wares connect? Original methodology and close analysis of previously published site reports provides a framework for examining a connection between wares and motifs. This thesis will use eleven different site reports, spanning from Italy up to Bulgaria and across to Israel by which the Hellenistic Moldmade Bowls fit into an archaeological methodology.\r Previous scholarly work on the of origins and trade connections of Hellenistic Moldmade bowls have fallen short in discovering a link in wares and motifs to production centers for several reasons. One reason for this shortcoming, is due to the fact that ‘scholars,’ have yet to employ a methodology of establishing a connection between wares and motifs, and using that connection to promote an attribution to a workshop or production center. Another area of weakness arises when ‘scholars,’ attribute motifs to a workshop based solely on motifs, as well as attribute molds to a workshop based solely on the molds. The standardization of wares and motifs alongside tracking the connections between these two things are instrumental in understanding the possible production centers and trade connections interactions with each site analyzed.
The influence of assuming and role-playing a false identity on event-related potentials.

description: Identity schemata serve to organize the content and regulate the processing of identity related information. The dissimulation of undercover agents and others has been associated with fundamental changes in the mental schemata and cognitive structures associated with their identity. This processing of identity information can be can be detected and quantified through Event Related Potentials (ERP). The purpose of the study was to compare the P300 ERPs in persons predisposed and not predisposed to dissociative experiences as they responded to factual (real) and counterfactual (false) personal identity information when asked to be themselves or dissimulate their real identity by adopting a false one. The interest was in examining whether information previously irrelevant to one's self-identity would be seen as meaningful when participants cognitively adopted a false identity and when they engaged in social-behavioural role-plays of that false identity. The degree to which the false identity was seen as meaningful was expected to vary as a function of scores on the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES). Male students (19--24 yrs), 18 scoring high and 17 scoring low on the DES chose among three fabricated identities one they were to assume for the study. Eighty words representing their chosen false identity, their real identity, and two irrelevant identities served as stimulus items in a self-referencing task. ERP recordings from frontal, central, and parietal sites were obtained under four conditions. A pre-test of ERPs to all stimuli was followed by a second presentation where subjects assumed a false identity and denied their real identity. Subjects then participated in three semi-structured role-play interactions while assuming their false identity over a 3--5 day period. ERP recordings while assuming their false identity and again while assuming their real identity were subsequently obtained. P300 ERPs were elicited to real identity and to false identity information when subjects assumed one or the other. Importantly, previously obtained P300 responses to real identity stimuli were suppressed when ERPs to false identity stimuli were obtained. Role playing diminished P300 to a false identity. High, compared with low scoring, amnesia subjects of the DES were less able to suppress ERPs to their real identity when adopting a false identity. Results are discussed in relation to identity schema theory, dissociative disorders, with implications for undercover policing.
Derivation and internal validation of a clinical prediction rule to identify patients with low risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism who can discontinue oral anticoagulants after five to seven months of treatment for unprovoked venous thromboembolism

description: Background. Whether to continue or to discontinue oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) after 6 months of treatment to prevent recurrent or fatal events in unprovoked VTE patients is currently controversial. We sought to develop and internally validate a clinical prediction rule (CPR) to identify patients at low risk of recurrent VTE (at most 3% annual risk) for whom OAT could be safely discontinued. Methods. Univariate and multivariate analysis techniques were used to identify the best set of predictor variables. Results and conclusions. We derived and internally validated a CPR for females comprised of D-Dimer over 250 ug/L, post-thrombotic signs present, older age (over 65 years) and obesity (BMI over 30 kg/m2). Women with one or none of the four aforementioned clinical predictors had an annual risk of recurrent VTE of 1.6% and may be able to discontinue OAT. None of the models for males was shown to be safe.

description: The purpose of this dissertation, in the broadest sense, is to produce a theory of literary characters, one of the components of narrative that has not been adequately studied. The dissertation starts with an observation of the peculiar ontological condition of literary characters as entities that exist in-between the idea of the human and purely textual existence. Pointing out the liminal status of literary characters, suspended in the passage from text to human, the dissertation reveals how literary characterization is closely tied to the idea of anthropogenesis—the emergence of, or the production of, the human—, which in turn, illuminates the fundamentally linguistic condition of the “real” humans.
description: I identify British modernism as an event in which the ontological hybridity of characters as textual human beings stands out as a central concern of the writer. In the modernist novel, characters are illuminated as liminal figures that exist in-between the human and the text, never fully transcended into the former nor entirely confined within the latter. The loosening of the natural link between a literary character and a human person in the modernist novel reveals the concept of the human as a linguistic construction. Such a revelation illuminates the creative, as well as reflexive, power of language in shaping how we, as human beings, think and live. The modernist character thus becomes a site where the idea of the human undergoes constant transformations.
description: The experimental form of the modernist novel foregrounds the capacity of literary character in reconfiguring the concept of the human and imagining alternative forms of community that do not rest on the anthropocentric, and Eurocentric, assumptions. Modernist writers such as Joseph Conrad, D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and Jean Rhys, through their innovative methods of characterization, forge alternative accounts of being human that do not rely on a Western, liberal humanist understanding of the human as a unique, ingrained quality. The breakdown of the traditional form of the novel character in modernist novels indicates traces of encounters, conflicts, and negotiations between articulations of different modes of being, precipitated specifically by the global pressures of modernity. The flat, opaque, fragmentary, and uncanny qualities of modernist characters denote the impossibility of incorporating an experience of being-in-the-world into a coherent character. Modernist characterization thereby conveys the ethical imperative—and responsibility—of acknowledging the continuity of one’s being with others, heading towards conceptualizations of new forms of community, grounded on the idea of a shared existence in the world.

description: Reduced pulmonary function and elevated serum cholesterol levels are recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Currently, there is some controversy concerning relationships between cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, serum triglycerides and lung function. However, most previous studies compared patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with healthy controls, and only a small number examined this relationship in population-based cohorts. Moreover, lipoprotein a [Lp(a)], another lipid parameter independently associated with cardiovascular diseases, appears not to have been addressed at all in studies of lung function at the population level. Here, we determined relationships between lung function and several lipid parameters including Lp(a) in 606 older community-dwelling participants (55.1% women, 68±4 years old) from the Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II). We found a significantly lower forced expiration volume in 1 second (FEV1) in men with low Lp(a) concentrations (t-test). This finding was further substantiated by linear regression models adjusting for known covariates, showing that these associations are statistically significant in both men and women. According to the highest adjusted model, men and women with Lp(a) levels below the 20th percentile had 217.3ml and 124.2ml less FEV1 and 239.0ml and 135.2ml less FVC, respectively, compared to participants with higher Lp(a) levels. The adjusted models also suggest that the known strong correlation between pro-inflammatory parameters and lung function has only a marginal impact on the Lp(a)-pulmonary function association. Our results do not support the hypothesis that higher Lp(a) levels are responsible for the increased CVD risk in people with reduced lung function, at least not in the group of community-dwelling older people studied here.

The Social and Narrative Functions of Telemachus in the Odyssey
Creators: name: Elliott, Zachary
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2018

description: The character of Telemachus occupies a place of great significance in the plot of the Odyssey. In addition to being a figure whose development the audience observes for four books of the poem before the introduction of the epic's main character, he returns in the final books of the poem to participate in the resolution of the plot alongside his father. His plot in the narrative is inextricably tied to his need to navigate his social world about which he learns through his travels and interactions with other characters. In this thesis, I examine how the Odyssey presents the way in which Telemachus fulfills social and cultural roles within the poem and how it uses his performance of those roles to create and reinforce a model of the proper performance in a society that no longer supports the structures of the heroic age. I argue that these roles do not end at those which Telemachus overtly takes over the course of the narrative; instead, he extends into the position of a reader, or auditor, of epic poetry, especially in the context of his reception of and engagement with the narrative of Orestes, and the poem encourages the audience to evaluate how effectively Telemachus participates in the tradition of which they are currently a part. I further explore the evidence of how later texts present the character of Telemachus to see to what extent these authors engage with the problems of his socio-cultural place in the Odyssey.
Learning explainable concepts in the presence of a qualitative model.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence.

description: This thesis addresses the problem of learning concept descriptions that are interpretable, or explainable. Explainability is understood as the ability to justify the learned concept in terms of the existing background knowledge. The starting point for the work was an existing system that would induce only fully explainable rules. The system performed well when the model used during induction was complete and correct. In practice, however, models are likely to be imperfect, i.e. incomplete and incorrect. We report here a new approach that achieves explainability with imperfect models. The basis of the system is the standard inductive search driven by an accuracy-oriented heuristic, biased towards rule explainability. The bias is abandoned when there is heuristic evidence that a significant loss of accuracy results from constraining the search to explainable rules only. The users can express their relative preference for accuracy vs. explainability. Experiments with the system indicate that, even with a partially incomplete and/or incorrect model, insisting on explainability results in only a small loss of accuracy. We also show how the new approach described can repair a faulty model using evidence derived from data during induction.
Analyzing the Opportunities and Pitfalls of Participation in International Agricultural and Environmental Development

Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Qanats -- Iran

description: Participation in development by those most affected by programs is increasingly encouraged by donor agencies; however, true participation often remains elusive and misunderstood in practice. This dissertation presents three manuscripts that apply different disciplinary lenses to the concept of participation. The first manuscript analyzes two cases using participation in monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems as a means to explain differences in project outcomes that aim to alter social ecological systems. The manuscript introduces a participatory matrix as a simple tool to assess participation in a project's M&E system. The cases relate participation in M&E to improved program outcomes including resource health, sustained livelihoods, and robust social structures. The second manuscript applies new institutional economic theory to the phenomenon of the decline of traditional irrigation systems, karez, as communities adopt pump wells. The study uses records on ecological, institutional, economic, and social factors from Iran and Pakistan spanning the 1950's through 2016, to analyze factors influencing displacement of karez. Evidence suggests that in the areas studied, alterations to institutions governing water and land left small-scale producers worse off, while benefitting large-scale producers. The third manuscript analyzes empirical data from the Afghanistan Agricultural Extension Program (AAEP). Program investment in capacity building activities for Farmer Field School (FFS) facilitators was significant yet use of the FFS approach in Afghanistan's extension system remained lower than expected. Quantitative data show a significant and positive effect of capacity building training on Farmer Field School facilitator use of FFS. Qualitative data give voice to extension worker and trained FFS facilitator explanations of FFS use by individuals highlighting both motivators and barriers.

Visual tracking for human-computer interaction
Creators: name: Laberge, Dominic
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: The purpose of this master's thesis project is to design, implement and evaluate vision-based user interfaces for use in the context of virtual environments. Three interfaces are treated. The first one is a 4 degrees of freedom (DOF) mouse that can track the position and 1 DOF or rotation (roll) of a user's hand. The second one is a 6 DOF mouse that can track both the position and the orientation of a user's hand in 3D space. Finally the third one is a laser pointing interface used to track the laser spot of a standard laser pointer, in order to interact with a large screen display. The two latter interfaces use an auto-calibrated approach based on planar homography, that distinguish them from the standard computer-vision based approach which requires a previous step of calibration.
Preliminary Findings on the Necessity of eIF4B in INSR and IGF1R IRES Mediated Translation Initiation
Creators: name: Clark, Kevin

Subjects: eukaryotic initiation factor 4B

internal ribosomal entry site

description: Protein synthesis requires large amounts of energy and is therefore tightly controlled, primarily through regulation of translation initiation1,2,3,4. Translation initiation predominately occurs when a series of eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) recognize and bind the 5’ methyl guanosine (5’ 7mG) cap of the mRNA and recruit the ribosome, triggering scanning for a start codon2,3. One initiation factor, eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), is an ATP dependent helicase that unwinds secondary structure in the 5’ UTR of the mRNA to allow for ribosome association and scanning for a start codon7,8. Another initiation factor, eukaryotic initiation factor 4B (eIF4B), stimulates the helicase activity of eIF4A9 and binds to sections of mRNA previously unwound by eIF4A, preventing reformation of secondary structures10. Under certain conditions, primarily cellular stress, translation initiation of select mRNAs will occur without interaction with the 5’ 7mG cap, through the utilization of an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES)11. IRES mediated translation initiation often requires a subset of the canonical translation initiation factors but the specific factors needed varies between mRNAs3,14,15. Two known IRES containing mRNAs that code for proteins involved in cellular stress responses are those of insulin receptor (INSR) and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R)16,17,18,19. Previous work has demonstrated that the INSR and IGF1R IRESes are resistant to inhibition of eIF4A20 and eukaryotic initiation factor 4G (eIF4G)24. The present study utilized bicistronic luciferase reporter constructs featuring the 5’ UTR of the genes of interest flanked by the open reading frames (ORFs) of renilla and firefly luciferase to examine the necessity of eIF4B in IRES mediated translation of INR and IGF1R. The reporters are constructed such that the ratio of firefly to renilla signal is indicative of the ratio of IRES mediated to canonical translation initiation. Overexpression of eIF4B resulted in increased IRES mediated translation of INR but not IGF1R and knockdown of eIF4B lead to a reduction in IRES mediated translation of both INR and IGFR. This data indicates that eIF4B likely promotes or is required for IRES mediated translation of INR and IGF1R but endogenous eIF4B levels are fully saturating for IGF1R translation initiation. This result is surprising given that eIF4B is thought to primarily function as an enhancer of eIF4A activity, which is not required for IRES mediated translation of INR and IGF1R.
Servers, Lobsters, and Students: Analyzing and Predicting Brandeis Buildings’ Electricity Usage

description: As part of the Year of Climate Action, Campus Operations has been looking at ways to make Brandeis more energy efficient. Compared to the large network of institutions of higher education in the Greater Boston Area, research shows that Brandeis has 15% to 20% higher energy use intensity than our neighboring campuses. In order to reduce our electricity consumption, my project seeks to understand the historical and future patterns of energy usage. I synthesized and analyzed five years of electricity data from buildings across campus using Python and Excel, focusing on data cleaning, visualization, and predictive analytics. My research establishes that machine learning, specifically random forest regression, can be used to accurately predict electricity usage for a university campus. On a larger scale, my project demonstrates the ways in which data analytics can be employed in Campus Operations.

The Future of South Sudanese Women: Restructuring Customary Law in South Sudan
Creators: name: Garcia, Jaclyn
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2011

description: South Sudan will officially be recognized as an independent country on July 9, 2011; however, a majority of the population will continue to be oppressed under customary law. While the equal rights of women and girls are written into the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the country upholds customary law, which reinforces a cycle of oppression. While it is often argued that the practices of different societies should be understood and appreciated rather than criticized, it is also argued that certain rights that are universal in nature must be upheld. This paper introduces the soon to be independent country of South Sudan and the problems they face pertaining to harmful practices. It also examines the ongoing debate surrounding the theories of universality and cultural relativity and questions whether or not children and women share universal rights that transcend cultural boundaries. In the end, the theory of universality prevails over cultural relativity under the argument that women demand rights throughout the world regardless of where they reside. Furthermore, a practice that oppresses one group over another based on gender differences cannot be justified under the guise of culture, and instead must be reformed as culture is never constant, but rather always evolving.
Dmc1-mediated Break-Induced Replication and Mismatch Repair in Meiotic Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

Homologous Recombination
DNA Repair

description: uring repair of a double-stranded chromosome break (DSB), an essential step of homologous recombination is searching for homologous DNA sequences and invading the target to repair the break. In somatic (mitotic) cells, this process is performed by the Rad51 recombinase. In meiosis, recombination depends on a meiosis-specific recombinase Dmc1, but still using Rad51 as an accessory factor. Properties of the recombinases have been characterized in vitro, but their cellular strategies working along with relevant mismatch repair proteins remained unexplored in meiosis.
description: In budding yeast, we compared break-induced replication (BIR) events in both a mitotic and meiotic context, in which a site-specific DSB was created by the HO endonuclease. The invading stand and its donor template share a 108 bp region of homology. We used a series of strains in which the donor carries increasing densities of evenly spaced mismatches. We found that the divergent donor substrates diminished BIR events two times faster in meiosis mediated by Dmc1 comparing to the same events in Rad51-mediated diploid and haploid mitosis. This result differs from in vitro studies that had suggested that Dmc1 had a higher tolerance for mismatches than Rad51. In the absence of Dmc1 and without the meiosis-specific Rad51 inhibitor Hed1, Rad51 was able to carry out ectopic recombination with mismatch tolerance and assimilation similar to the mitotic level.
description: I also examined the assimilation of mismatches into the BIR repair product. Nearly all mismatch correction in meiosis depends on the proofreading activity of DNA polymerase Polδ and is independent from Msh2. However, homozygous knockout of the mismatch repair protein Msh2 in strains with mismatches elevated the repair rate by nine-fold, but the trend of mismatch correction is the almost same as the wild type. There is no such suppression of recombination of mismatched substrates when Msh2 is deleted in mitotic cells. Collectively, we concluded that both Dmc1 and Msh2 are factors that uniquely shape the recombination patterns in meiosis. Given the high tolerance of Dmc1 validated in vitro is true, we hypothesized that Msh2 might promotes heteroduplex rejection during meiosis to counterbalance the higher mismatch tolerance of Dmc1 when forming the D-loop.
Crushing behaviour of hybrid tubular structures
Creators: name: Hussein, Rafea Dakhil
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Thin-walled tubular structures have been widely used as energy absorbers in many applications, particularly within the automotive, aerospace and civil industries. The aim of this study is to investigate the axial crushing of novel hybrid square tubular structures made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) and aluminium subjected to axial compressive loads. Deformation modes and energy absorption of these tubes have been discussed. A theoretical formula was derived to predict the mean crushing force of square CFRP tubes. This newly proposed model captured the major deformation mechanisms of CFRP tubes under axial compression, i.e. crack propagation, transverse shearing, and friction.
Continuity and dissonance: Institutional relations of a South African NGO.
Creators: name: Sauder, Robert.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Education, Social Sciences.

description: This thesis is a case study investigation of the institutional relations of a South African educational NGO. The literature on NGOs indicates that as institutions they can be problematic. They face three key issues, accountability, partnership and empowerment, which provide them with both institutional coherence as well as institutional contradiction. Most of the existing analysis of NGOs is descriptive and little of it attempts to place an analysis of these key issues within a larger institutional environment. This thesis attempts to do so using the framework of institutional theory. Institutional theory, as articulated by Scott and others, is used to analyze an NGO in order to understand them both from an internal perspective (based on the social constructions of the institutional participants) and an external perspective (based on the environment in which the NGO was situated). According to this theory, institutions are comprised of three inter-penetrated dimensions, the regulative, normative, and cognitive. The analysis of these dimensions was accomplished using the concepts of continuity and dissonance. The findings of the study are that while there was relatively high continuity in this institution, related to a large extent to a project of social transformation in South Africa, there was also significant dissonance. The NGO faced contested accountability, tensions around partnership, and contradictions in terms of empowerment. The implications of these conclusions for South African education and NGOs in sub-Saharan Africa are explored as are the contributions of the study to institutional theory.

Where and with whom do students learn in an online university subject? A multiple case study analysis
Creators: name: Gilmore, Dawn Marie
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines the performance of learning by online university students. Data was generated from four case studies of second year subjects: observations of students in their online subjects, a content analysis of 1,857 discussion board posts, and a document analysis of the learning materials. This data was strengthened by 120 student questionnaires, 20 student interviews, and six teacher interviews. Drawing from studies of education, and the conceptual frameworks of Goffman (1959) and Lave and Wenger (1991), I developed a participation typology that illustrates how online students resituate their roles and reconceptualise the curriculum across multiple online and offline settings.
