description: DB2 DataPropagator is one of the IBM's solutions for asynchronous replication of relational data by two separate programs Capture and Apply. The Capture program captures changes made to source data from recovery log files into staging tables, while the Apply program applies the changes from the staging tables to target data. Currently the Capture program only supports capturing changes made by local transactions in a single database log file. With the increasing deployment of partitioned database systems in OLTP environments there is a need to replicate the operational data from the partitioned systems. This paper introduces a system called CaptureEEE which extends the Capture program to capture global transactions executed on partitioned databases supported by DB2 Enterprise-Extended Edition. The architecture and the components of CaptureEEE are presented. The algorithm for merging log entries from multiple recovery log files is discussed in detail.

description: The human eye is a complex optical system comprised of many components. The crystalline lens, an optical component with a gradient index (GRIN), is perhaps the least understood as it is situated inside the eye and as a result is difficult to characterize. Its complex nonlinear structure is not easily measured and consequently not easily modeled. Presently several models of the GRIN structure exist describing the average performance of crystalline lenses. These models, however, do not accurately describe the performance of crystalline lenses on an individual basis and a more accurate individual eye model based on anatomical parameters is needed. This thesis proposes an anatomically correct, individually customizable crystalline lens model. This is an important tool and is needed both for research on the optical properties of human eyes and to diagnose and plan the treatment of optically based visual problems, such as refractive surgery planning. The lens model consisted of an interior GRIN with a constant refractive index core. The anterior and posterior surface was described by conic sections. To realize this eye model, the optical and biometric properties of mammalian lenses were measured and the correlation relationships between these measurements were used to simplify the model down to one fitting parameter which controls the shape of the GRIN. Using this data, an anatomically correct individualizable model of the lens was successfully realized with varying parameters unique to each lens. Using this customizable lens model, customizable human eye models based on measurements of the entire human eye can be realized.

description: Tidal power, or the use of tides for electricity production, exists in many forms including tidal barrages, which exploit tidal head differentials, and turbines placed directly in regions with large tidal current velocities. The latter is actively being investigated in many countries around the world as a means of providing renewable and wholly predictable electricity (cf. wind, solar and wave power). The expansion of the in-stream tidal industry is hindered however by several factors including: turbine durability, deployment and maintenance costs, and the lack of abundant locations which meet the necessary current velocities for turbine start-up and economic power production. A new novel type of augmentation device, entitled the ‘Tidal Acceleration Structure’ or TAS (Canadian patent pending 2644792), has been proposed as a solution to the limited number of coastal regions which exhibit fast tidal currents. In preliminary investigations, the TAS, a simple Venturi section consisting of walls extending from the seafloor to above the high water mark in an hourglass shape, was found as able to more than double current velocities entering the device. The results indicated a significant advantage over other current channeling technologies and thus the need for more in-depth investigations. The main objective of the present study was to optimise the design of the TAS and to predict the power that a turbine placed within it could extract from flow. To do this, two principal methods were employed. Firstly, a 1:50 scale model of the TAS was tested and its shape optimised in a 1.5 m wide flume. Secondly, a 3D numerical model (ANSYS Fluent) was used for comparison with the experimental results. During the tests, a TAS configuration was found that could accelerate upstream velocities by a factor of 2.12. In separate tests, turbines were simulated using Actuator Disc Theory and porous plates. The TAS-plate combination was found to be able to extract up to 4.2 times more power from flow than the stand-alone plate, demonstrating that the TAS could provide turbines with a significant advantage in slower currents. Though further research is needed, including the testing of a larger TAS model in conjunction with a small in-stream turbine, the results of this thesis clearly demonstrate the potential of the TAS concept to unlock vast new areas for tidal energy development.

description: The Canadian firm of Jacques & Hay was in business for fifty years, during which the company, if The Globe (Toronto) is to be believed, furnished the Province of Canada. This was a stunning and largely undocumented success. Jacques & Hay was one of the largest employers in the province and dominated the cabinet-making trade from 1835 to 1885. In 1871, Jacques & Hay employed 430 men and 50 women in a vertically-integrated operation that included a sawmill, two factories and a showroom. Jacques & Hay produced abundant furniture at reasonable prices. The availability of such household furnishings greatly enhanced domestic life in nineteenth-century Canada, providing scope for a more elaborate social life and allowing more people to achieve a greater sense of comfort and decency in their living arrangements.

description: Hybrid warfare is taken here as a contemporary modality of political struggle based on permanent destabilization, and can appear as organized horizontally or commanded by a war machine. This article of theoretical reflection, supported by bibliographical research, proposes to analyze the status and performance of hybrid war machines on algorithmic platforms. Such machines are characterized by eccentricity with regard to the governance exercised by corporations on the platforms. They tend to reinforce the predisposition of algorithms toward disinformation, which contributes to asymmetric polarization. This polarization, in turn, involves a militant position. / Guerra híbrida é tomada aqui como uma modalidade contemporânea de luta política baseada na desestabilização permanente, podendo apresentar-se como organizada horizontalmente ou comandada a partir de uma máquina de guerra.

Tais máquinas caracterizam-se pela excentricidade em relação à governança exercida pelas corporações nas plataformas. Elas tendem a reforçar a predisposição dos algoritmos à desinformação, o que contribui para a polarização assimétrica. Esta, por seu turno, envolve o posicionamento militante.
The characterization of oxygen in metal/slag reactions
Creators: name: Rhamdhani, Akbar
name: Brooks, Geoffrey
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Oxygen has a vital role in steelmaking since most of the important reactions in steelmaking involve transfer and reaction of oxygen at an interface. There is also a tendency of oxygen to preferentially reside along the interface due to the surface active nature of the element in molten iron. The presence of oxygen at the interface lowers the interfacial tension of iron alloys and interfacial tension gradients along the interface can result in spontaneous emulsification. The emulsification itself has an effect on the kinetics of the reaction as interfacial area increases. These phenomena are the subject of a recent study by the authors. There is limited experimental knowledge of how oxygen distributes itself during reaction between iron alloys and slag. Oxygen gradients in the concentration range of these systems are very difficult to characterize at microscopic level using techniques such as electron probe micro analyzers, auger electron spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This paper evaluates the use of secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) for characterizing oxygen using samples generated from reactions between Fe-A1 droplets and CaO-SiO2-A12O3 slag.
Molecular Mechanisms of MMP9 Expression in Astrocytes Induced by Heme and Iron

description: The disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) occurs after ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and contributes to secondary brain damage. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) has been identified to be the main mediator of post-stroke BBB disruption. It is unknown whether deposition of heme/iron in the brain following stroke would affect MMP9 expression. In this study, I have demonstrated that heme/iron up-regulated MMP9 expression in rat astrocytes and that this upregulation was most likely due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by heme/iron deposition on cells. ROS can activate AP-1 and NFκB signaling pathways which were responsible for increased MMP9 expression. Inhibiting AP-1 and NFκB decreased MMP9 expression. Heme/iron deposition also activated Nrf-2 and increased the expression of neuroprotective heme oxygenase-1. My study suggests that heme and iron deposition generates ROS and increases MMP9 expression through AP-1 and NFκB signaling pathways and that targeting these pathways or clearance of heme and iron may modulate MMP9 expression for reduced damage.

The effect of an occupation on interpersonal relationships: The experience of Canadian national team coaches.
Creators: name: Zitzelsberger, Louise.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Education, Physical.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of occupational demands on partner/family relationships of Canadian elite-level coaches. Twenty full-time national team coaches were interviewed in order to determine the nature of the occupational demands at this level and to examine the perceived impact of these demands on personal relationships. Coaching full-time as a national team coach requires a huge time, energy and travel commitment. Coaches, on the whole, felt that this commitment was necessary in order to perform the job with excellence. Coaching was seen as a passion or an obsession. As a result, coaches did perceive that the demands of their occupation had an effect on their relationships. Effects were described as both positive and negative in nature. Themes such as priorities, family functioning, leaving and returning, role in the family, family involvement in the occupation, partner qualities and the partner relationship arose from the interviews. The underlying question of this study was whether coaches believe that a balance between excellence in their occupation and excellence in their personal lives can be achieved. This question was discussed and recommendations for achieving a balance, through both lifestyle and institutional modifications, were suggested by coaches.

description: Aim: This paper is a report on a study that explored the professional development of intensive care unit nurses in journal clubs. Background: Evidence-based practice is important in nursing care (Krom, Batten, & Bautista, 2010). However few nurses feel comfortable using evidence to guide their practice (Pravikoff, Tanner, & Pierce, 2005). Journal clubs are a way to establish science as conversation (Wright, 2004) and foster knowledge translation for evidence-based nursing practice (Goodfellow, 2004). Methods: Monthly journal club meetings were held with the participation of a total of 71 healthcare professionals (65 nurses, 2 physicians, 2 pharmacists, 1 physiotherapist, and 1 respiratory therapist), who worked in two intensive care units of an Ontario hospital. After six months of meetings, 21 individual interviews were conducted with nurses, physicians, pharmacists, and nurse educators. Additional data collection included two focus groups, surveys, a review of staff meeting minutes, and researcher field notes. Findings: Journal clubs provided nurses with incentive to read research articles, improved nurses’ confidence in reading research, created a community of peers who worked collaboratively to improve clinical practice, provided a structure for nurses to reflect-on-practice, and led to reported changes in clinical practice. However, the data suggests that any gains in competence of nurses with the critical appraisal of research articles were probably modest. Barriers to participating in journal clubs and evidence-based practice are also identified. Conclusion: Journal clubs can foster knowledge translation and evidence-based practice through creating a community of practice and by providing nurses with motivation, structure, and confidence to read research articles. However, nurses reported a lack of critical appraisal skills and uncertainty about how to implement evidence into practice. Journal clubs may have a greater impact when implemented alongside other knowledge translation strategies such as working with clinical nurse specialists in order to enhance evidence-based practice.

description: Heavy metals are non-degradable and their persistence constitutes ecotoxicological ramifications. Their presence in wastewater is inhibitory to microbial digestion processes and can lead to biomagnification in the environment. Clay minerals have been widely studied as inexpensive sorbent materials of aqueous-phase contaminants. Particularly in the case of kaolinite, a non-swelling clay with a low cation-exchange capacity, chemically enhanced derivatives exposing its OH-rich interlayer space to interactions with its external environment are of exceptional interest. The objective of this study was to prepare a novel functionalised kaolinite with the aim of significantly improving its heavy-metal sorption capacity. Due to the robustness of sulfur-metal linkages, the compound 3,6-dithia-1,8-octanediol (HO(CH2)2S(CH2)2S(CH2)2OH) was grafted onto both urea- and DMSO precursors of two kaolinitic clays: the Source clay KGa-1b and a Portuguese clay sample collected from the Clays of Taveiro formation. All samples were characterised by X-ray diffraction and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Initial materials and final samples were also characterised by thermal gravimetric analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The results describe nanohybrid materials that are resistant to hydrolysis and exhibit different grafting fashions. Application as a heavy metal sorbent was tested in ZnCl2 solutions as well as in zinc-spiked raw wastewater. Zinc concentrations were analysed concomitant with other metal species by inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry, demonstrating variable sorption capacities of the different clay samples tested and a consistently greater zinc removal in the wastewater system compared to simple zinc solutions. Measured concentrations of concomitantly analysed metals reveals a potentially alarming release of certain heavy metal species from some clay samples as a result of zinc sorption.

description: Improved methods are needed to model CRISPR screen data for interrogation of genetic elements that alter reporter gene expression readout. We create MAUDE (Mean Alterations Using Discrete Expression) for quantifying the impact of guide RNAs on a target gene’s expression in a pooled, sorting-based expression screen. MAUDE quantifies guide-level effects by modeling the distribution of cells across sorting expression bins. It then combines guides to estimate the statistical significance and effect size of targeted genetic elements. We demonstrate that MAUDE outperforms previous approaches and provide experimental design guidelines to best leverage MAUDE, which is available on https://github.com/Carldeboer/MAUDE.

A review of landfill decomposition modelling

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Landfill gas is a term used to describe the mixture of gases created by the decomposition of waste within a landfill. Landfill engineering is a developing technology and there is not a good understanding of all the factors affecting gas generation within landfills. One major problem with verifying these models against data from an actual landfill is that the verification process requires an extensive knowledge of the characteristics of the landfill site. The alternative to waiting 20 years for detailed data is to see if existing landfill data can be used to validate these models. It has been found that for a model to reflect accurately the processes within a landfill, a model must take into account the complex nature of the microbiological decomposition of waste within a landfill. The current phase of this work is building a suitable model to take all these processes into account. A discussion of model types and approaches to the process of model building is presented.

description: This thesis analyzes the problem of acquiring stereoscopic images in all gazing directions around a reference viewpoint in space with the purpose of creating stereoscopic panoramas of non-static scenes. The generation of immersive stereoscopic imagery suitable to stimulate human stereopsis requires images from two distinct viewpoints with horizontal parallax in all gazing directions, or to be able to simulate this situation in the generated imagery. The available techniques to produce omnistereoscopic imagery for human viewing are not suitable to capture dynamic scenes stereoscopically. This is a not trivial problem when considering acquiring the entire scene at once while avoiding self-occlusion between multiple cameras. In this thesis, the term omnidirectional refers to all possible gazing directions in azimuth and a limited set of directions in elevation. The acquisition of dynamic scenes restricts the problem to those techniques suitable for collecting in one simultaneous exposure all the necessary visual information to recreate stereoscopic imagery in arbitrary gazing directions. The analysis of the problem starts by defining an omnistereoscopic viewing model for the physical magnitude to be measured by a panoramic image sensor intended to produce stereoscopic imagery for human viewing. Based on this model, a novel acquisition model is proposed, which is suitable to describe the omnistereoscopic techniques based on horizontal stereo. From this acquisition model, an acquisition method based on multiple cameras combined with the rendering by mosaicking of partially overlapped stereoscopic images is identified as a good candidate to produce omnistereoscopic imagery of dynamic scenes. Experimental acquisition and rendering tests were performed for different multiple-camera configurations. Furthermore, a mosaicking criterion between partially overlapped stereoscopic images based on the continuity of the perceived depth and the prediction of the location and magnitude of unwanted vertical disparities in the final stereoscopic panorama are two main contributions of this thesis. In addition, two novel omnistereoscopic acquisition and rendering techniques were introduced. The main contributions to this field are to propose a general model for the acquisition of omnistereoscopic imagery, to devise novel methods to produce omnistereoscopic imagery, and more importantly, to contribute to the awareness of the problem of acquiring dynamic scenes within the scope of omnistereoscopic research.

description: The result of the last presidential election in Brazil is part of a hyper-authoritarian inflection of neoliberalism on a global scale, especially starting from the Brexit referendum and Trump’s victory. At the national level, it crowns the simultaneous crisis of the New Republic and of Lulism, which unfolds in several stages: the June Journeys in 2013; Operation Car Wash, starting in 2014; the parliamentary-judicial coup against Dilma Rousseff in 2016; and Jair Bolsonaro’s campaign in 2018. Such steps can be considered episodes of hybrid warfare, a form of political struggle that reinforces the destabilizing component characteristic of neoliberalism. In this article, based on bibliographical research and empirical observations, the Bolsonaro campaign is investigated as a manifestation of hybrid warfare, taking into account the media infrastructure it assembles, the informational anomie it provokes, the narratives and affections it mobilizes, and the memetic aesthetics it uses. / O resultado da última eleição presidencial no Brasil insere-se numa inflexão hiperautoritária do neoliberalismo em escala global, a partir especialmente do referendo do Brexit e da vitória de Trump. No âmbito nacional, ele coroa o processo de crise simultânea da Nova República e do lulismo, que se desdobra em diversas etapas: as Jornadas de Junho, em 2013; a Lava Jato, a partir de 2014; o golpe parlamentar-judicial contra Dilma Rousseff, em 2016; e a campanha de Jair Bolsonaro, em 2018. Tais etapas podem ser consideradas episódios de guerra híbrida, modalidade de luta política que aprofunda o componente de desestabilização característico do neoliberalismo. Neste artigo, com base em pesquisa bibliográfica e observações empíricas, a campanha de Bolsonaro é investigada como manifestação de guerra híbrida, levando em conta a infraestrutura midiática montada, a anomia informacional provocada, as narrativas e afetos mobilizados e a estética do meme utilizada.
To Farm or not to Farm? Rural Youth Perceptions of Farming and their Decision of whether or not to Work as a Farmer: A Case Study of Rural Youth in Kiambu County, Kenya

description: The present study examines rural youth perceptions of farming and their decision of whether or not to work as a farmer by paying special attention to personal career aspirations, social (peer and parental) influences, and structural (land, finance, market, and agricultural education) constraints as the “push” and “pull” forces of farming. Interviews were conducted with 59 youth in six villages of Kiambu County, Kenya. Findings revealed that non-agricultural career aspirations, such as engineering and teaching, may create the desire to migrate away from farming. While many youth held negative perceptions of farming, which were reinforced through peer and parental influence, a sub-set of youth expressed a passion for farming and considered farming an attractive career path. However, the existence of structural barriers and the difficulties in overcoming them, especially access to land, limited their participation in farming.

description: Physical forces in the cellular microenvironment play an important role in governing cell function. Forces transmitted through the cell cause distinct deformation of the nucleus, and possibly play a role in force-mediated gene expression. The work presented in this thesis drew upon innovative strategies employing simultaneous atomic force and laser-scanning confocal microscopy, as well as parallel optical stretching experiments, to gain unique insights into the response of eukaryotic cell nuclei to external force. Non-destructive approaches confirmed the existence of a clear anisotropy in nuclear mechanical properties, and showed that the nucleus' mechanical response to extracellular forces is differentially governed by both nuclear and cytoskeletal prestress: nuclear prestress regulates shape and anisotropic deformation, whereas cytoskeletal prestress modulates the magnitude and degree of deformation. Importantly, the anisotropic mechanical response was conserved among diverse differentiated cell types from multiple species, suggesting that nuclear mechanical anisotropy plays an important role in cell function.

Behavioural Insights in Tax Administration
Creators: name: Indian School of Business
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This paper attempts to first understand tax non-compliance by using publicly availabledata. The attempt is then to look at the traditional economic models on tax complianceand the factors that influence them. While the traditional economic models advocatean increase in the probability of audit and enforcement as one of the main factors thatinfluence compliance, the paper explores the Slippery Slope Framework, which bringsin the dimension of trust. This provides a segue to the discussion on how with theadvent of behavioural economic studies, the behavioural element in tax compliance isalso being explored. The paper discusses various interventions that can alter taxpayers’behaviour and discusses the literature behind those. The paper also discusses examplesof successful behavioural interventions around the world. Assuming a dynamic taxpayerresponse, the paper also explores a game theory setup of a coordination game and howthe tax department should counter that. Based on the discussion, the paper concludeswith some policy suggestions.

description: This article of theoretical articulation, based on bibliographic research, focuses on the relation between control and agency on algorithmic platforms. Control involves the collection and analysis of data on user activities and interactions, aimed at discerning patterns and trends, which enables behaviors to be anticipated and guided, thus corresponding to an intensive and permanent surveillance apparatus. At the same time, each user has a certain level of agency, and by altering his course of action, can influence the way he is apprehended and therefore interpellated by the platform. From this combination of factors emerges a paradigmatic model of algorithmic governance, consisting of a flexible form of control, modulated according to the user’s agency, which is expressed in the variability of his input – in other words, a control through agency. / Este artigo de articulação teórica, baseado em pesquisa bibliográfica, aborda a relação entre controle e agência em plataformas algorítmicas. O controle envolve a coleta e a análise de dados a partir das atividades e interações dos usuários, com o desígnio de discernir padrões e tendências, o que permite antecipar e direcionar comportamentos, correspondendo assim a um aparato de vigilância intensiva e permanente. Ao mesmo tempo, cada usuário possui certo nível de agência, podendo, ao alterar seu curso de ação, influenciar a maneira como ele é apreendido e, portanto, interpelado pela plataforma. Dessa combinação de fatores, emerge um modelo paradigmático de governança algorítmica, consistindo em um modo de controle flexível, modulado de acordo com a agência do usuário, que se expressa na variabilidade de seu input – em outras palavras, um controle via agência.
La traduction inter-référentielle à l'épreuve des accommodements raisonnables

description: La thèse part d’un premier constat : le manque de réflexion sur les questions d’identité, d’altérité et d’intégration dans des sociétés occidentales pourtant de plus en plus hétérogènes. Le traitement médiatique québécois des accommodements raisonnables au milieu des années 2000 a ainsi rappelé la difficulté d'habiter plusieurs univers culturels à la fois. Comme si revendiquer une appartenance, c'était renoncer à toutes les autres. Comme si appartenir à une communauté religieuse, c'était y être enfermé. Notre thèse défend l’idée que les divergences identitaires et culturelles sont inhérentes à toute démocratie. Elles ne lui font donc pas obstacle, sauf quand des situations comme le traitement médiatique québécois des accommodements raisonnables tendent à accentuer ces divergences au point de rendre impossible toute communication entre cadres référentiels. Pour observer ce traitement médiatique, nous nous sommes limitée à une altérité en particulier, celle des minorités arabes et/ou musulmanes. L’observation privilégiée était par ailleurs très succincte #trois articles traductifs, trois articles non-traductifs et trois articles intraductifs tirés du journal Le Devoir#. Nous avons mobilisé une théorie de la traduction inter-référentielle pour mieux saisir les mécanismes discursifs qui ont pour vocation de montrer comment la représentation de l’Autre trahit en même temps la représentation de soi, celle de son cadre de référence ainsi que le contexte social dans lequel s’inscrivent ces représentations respectives. Nous avons également eu recours au concept de traduction citoyenne #Basalamah# qui part du principe qu’un cadre référentiel ne doit jamais être considéré comme autosuffisant. Le traducteur citoyen invite en ce sens le lecteur à une éventuelle remise en question, au repositionnement de soi vis-à-vis de l’Autre ainsi qu’au rapprochement mutuel. Or, que nous montre l’analyse des neuf articles tirés du journal Le Devoir? Elle nous montre d’abord que se situer dans une posture non traductive, c’est oublier sa dette envers l’Autre. Elle nous montre ensuite que se situer dans une posture intraductive, c’est courir derrière de vaines illusions #l’illusion d’être objectif, l’illusion d’être non-engagé ou parfois encore l’illusion de ne pas reproduire de vieilles hiérarchies#. Enfin, elle nous montre que même la posture traductive peut décourager le dialogue quand elle s’engage dans une voie trop moralisante.

description: Инфильтративный протоковый рак является основной гистологической формой РМЖ у мужчин, при наличии фонового процесса — гинекомастии. Иммунофенотип РМЖ у мужчин соответствует, согласно молекулярно-генетической классификации, люминальному А (80%) и В (20%) подтипам РМЖ. В изучении данного заболевания у мужчин много противоречий, остается еще много открытых вопросов, требующих дальнейшего изучения и накопления наблюдений, масштабных исследований для изучения факторов риска, прогностической значимости биологических маркеров, этнических и генетических особенностей.
