description: Increased public awareness of environmental issues has led to greater public demand for involvement in environmental decision-making. The value of public participation has been recognized by academics and government authorities alike. Relevant public participation and environmental justice literature suggest that successful participation can help to achieve a heightened democratic governance system, uphold citizenship rights and, in turn, reduce environmental injustice. Although some might argue that public participation has already been integrated into the Canadian governance system, it is suggested that the legitimacy of public participation must be solidified with improved regulations and guidelines for process design. This research call is explored through the lens of the Ontario Source Water Protection (SWP) Initiative in the Raisin Region Source Protection Area. As Source Water Protection is ongoing, it provides an outstanding opportunity to observe the implementation of public participation within a decision-making process. Specifically, the objectives of this research were to examine Source Water Protection stakeholder perceptions of public participation and to explore any variation in perceptions that exist between stakeholder groups. Stakeholder groups included SWP Process Architects, SWP Provincial Process Managers, SWP Local Process Managers, and SWP Community Members. Results show that the stakeholder groups have similar understandings of public participation objectives and effective characteristics. At the same time, there was limited understanding of participation design with regards to mobilization strategies, instrument sensitivity and process evaluation. This has resulted in significant differences in stakeholder perception of the Clean Water Act (2006) and the role of the Source Protection Committee. These findings uncover perceived Source Water Protection process strengths and weaknesses, information that can be used to facilitate improvements to public participation practices. In the end, these findings will also help inform public participation processes in other decision-making domains.

description: Orbital masses include a broad spectrum of benign and malignant entities. Often these masses are asymptomatic or show a slow growth rate, so that emergence of clinical symptoms is prolonged. In this context, cross-sectional imaging plays an elementary role in the characterization of these lesions. Aside from the characterization of the underlying entity, an evaluation of the involved compartments is possible by sufficient imaging, which also facilitates optimal treatment and surgery planning. The purpose of this review is to explore different benign and malignant orbital tumors and their typical appearance in imaging together with histopathologic findings.

description: This thesis examines the socioeconomic situation of young adults (21-35 years old) of the second generation Sikhs in Toronto. The research tries to better understand the social and economic process of integration, in particular the path they follow pertaining to their studies and profession. The theoretical framework indicates that family and community structures are especially important for immigrants and their children. The empirical analysis is based on the qualitative data collected during a series of semi-structured interviews conducted with ten participants, five women and five men. The results of the research show that young adults of the second generation Sikhs in Toronto attain a high socioeconomic status with the help of their family and the influence of their ethnic community, as well as with the benefits they obtain from the Canadian mainstream society.

The practice of mobile phone advertising in Japan: A grounded theory approach to looking at consumer perceptions
Creators: name: Greene, Hayley Rose
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Mass Communications.

description: This research examines consumer perceptions towards the practice of mobile phone advertising in Japan. The research follows a grounded theory approach, guided by Strauss and Corbin (1998). The primary research was conducted in Tokyo. It was found that in Japan's technologically advanced society, advertisers desired to reach consumers on their 3B mobile phones. However, use of these devices differed among demographic segmentations and consumers held unfavourable views towards the overload of irrelevant incoming ads. As a result, the recommendations made for the Japanese mobile advertising industry were: (1) for advertisers to use Bayesian Networks to create highly targeted ads; (2) to improve communication between advertisers and mobile phone engineers, and (3) to discontinue lacklustre text only ads and create innovative multimedia ads. This research contributes to the literature on new media advertising by providing insight into an important component of the mobile phone advertising phenomenon: audience research.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate differences in skeletal muscle gene expression of highly trained endurance and strength athletes in comparison to untrained individuals at rest and in response to either an acute bout of endurance or strength exercise. Endurance (ET, n = 8, VO2max 67 ± 9 mL/kg/min) and strength athletes (ST, n = 8, 5.8 ± 3.0 training years) as well as untrained controls (E-UT and S-UT, each n = 8) performed an acute endurance or strength exercise test. One day before testing (Pre), 30 min (30′Post) and 3 h (180′Post) afterwards, a skeletal muscle biopsy was obtained from the m. vastus lateralis. Skeletal muscle mRNA was isolated and analyzed by Affymetrix-microarray technology. Pathway analyses were performed to evaluate the effects of training status (trained vs. untrained) and exercise mode-specific (ET vs. ST) transcriptional responses. Differences in global skeletal muscle gene expression between trained and untrained were smaller compared to differences in exercise mode. Maximum differences between ET and ST were found between Pre and 180′Post. Pathway analyses showed increased expression of exercise-related genes, such as nuclear transcription factors (NR4A family), metabolism and vascularization (PGC1-α and VEGF-A), and muscle growth/structure (myostatin, IRS1/2 and HIF1-α. The most upregulated genes in response to acute endurance or strength exercise were the NR4A genes (NR4A1, NR4A2, NR4A3). The mode of acute exercise had a significant effect on transcriptional regulation Pre vs. 180′Post. In contrast, the effect of training status on human skeletal muscle gene expression profiles was negligible compared to strength or endurance specialization. The highest variability in gene expression, especially for the NR4A-family, was observed in trained individuals at 180′Post. Assessment of these receptors might be suitable to obtain a deeper understanding of skeletal muscle adaptive processes to develop optimized training strategies.

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Given the advancements in computer input and output via visual and auditory media, the next natural progression is to include the sense of touch via what is called haptic media. In this thesis, we review the evolution of auditory, visual, and haptic media since the 1940s, within the context of human-computer interaction, as a historical backdrop to our examination of current practices in hapto-visual application development. Assessing the fragmented, non-standardized development processes in use today to write hapto-visual applications, we try to find similarities and common denominators within the aforementioned processes, in order to come up with a generic framework that the application developer needs to be concerned only with, regardless of underlying technologies. In this work, we introduce Unison as a viable, extensible solution to standardize hapto-visual application development and detail its workings and implementation issues. We also present a scenario which has been used as a development tool for a hapto-visual e-commerce application, and conclude with suggestions for future work.
Identifying 'good' architectural design alternatives with multi-objective optimization strategies

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Architecture trade-off analysis methods are appropriate techniques to evaluate design decisions and design alternatives with respect to conflicting quality requirements. However, the identification of good design alternatives is a time consuming task, which is currently performed manually. To automate this task, this paper proposes to use evolutionary algorithms and multi-objective optimization strategies based on architecture refactorings to identify a sufficient set of design alternatives. This approach will reduce development costs and improve the quality of the final system, because an automated and systematic search will identify more and better design alternatives.

Year: 2018

description: Background: 3-Dimensional (3D) printing can be applied to virtual planning and creation of surgical guides for mandibular reconstruction. Such systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in head and neck reconstruction. However, third party access to this technology is costly and removes the opportunity to design, create, and modify the bony reconstructions, as third party technology is a black box. This series is a pilot study to document the feasibility of an in-house software tool. The objectives of this study are to describe the design of an automated in house system and assess the accuracy of this in house automated software tool for mandibular reconstruction in a simulated environment. Methods: Software was written to automate the preoperative planning and surgical guide creation process. In a simulation lab, Otolaryngology residents were tasked with resecting and reconstructing a simulated mandible using the 3D-printed cutting guides. A control group of residents performed resection and reconstruction using the traditional method without cutting guides. T-test analysis was performed to compare specific aspects of the final reconstructions including: change from native mandibular width and projection, segment gap distance, and reconstruction time. Results: Mandibular reconstruction was successful in all participants using the 3D printed system. The guided group performed significantly better on the measurement of change in Mandibular overlap, projection, segment gap volume. There was a non-significant trend towards better mandibular width and operative time for the guided group. Conclusions: This study confirms functionality and feasibility of using an in house automated software for planning and creating surgical guides.

Hydrodenitrogenation of pyridine over cobalt-molybdate catalyst.
Creators: name: Gupta, Rajnish Kumar.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: The vapour phase hydrogenation of pyridine was investigated in an integral flow reactor at a pressure of 5.617 M Pa over alumina-supported cobalt-molybdate catalyst. The effect of various process variables viz. temperature, reactant ratio and space time on the conversion of pyridine was studied. The kinetics of the hydrogenation of pyridine to form piperidine have been investigated. The reaction showed zero-order kinetics. However, the zero-order reaction rate constant, K, was found to be a function of the initial pyridine concentration, Cpo : K=KpCpo n where n is the order of the reaction rate constant in Cpo and Kp is a pseudo-rate constant. The order, n, was found to vary with temperature and could be expressed as: ℓnn=33.05-5.40ℓ nT 388°K<T<433°K where T is the absolute temperature, °K. The pseudo-second-order rate constant, Kp (for n=2), could be expressed as: ℓnKp=17.025-11 514RT where R is the universal gas constant, cal-gmole-1 -°K-1.

description: CactoScale is a CACTOS component which provides monitoring and data analysis functionality. This deliverable presents the integration of the algorithmic data analysis framework and the data collection tool in a production-mode setup. For the setup we utilised the testbed provided by the industrial partner Flexiant and we examined CactoScale under the workload provided by DataPlay application from Playgen. In this deliverable we measure the performance of CactoScale when this is integrated with Flexiant Cloud Orchestrator (FCO) and the University of Ulm (UULM) testbeds under the impact of Playgen’s enterprise application (DataPlay) workload. We assess the scaling capability of the monitoring framework by measuring the overall latency under increasing numbers of VMs on the platform’s nodes. Furthermore, we assess any overhead induced by CactoScale on the integrated use case of Playgen when deployed on FCO. CactoScale also provides data analysis functionality to CACTOS. We demonstrate the performance of the analysis framework when integrated on the FCO-testbed and the UULM testbed. We use data collected from monitoring the deployed DataPlay application to perform correlation analysis using a Lightweight Anomaly Detection Tool (LADT). LADT utilises data correlation analysis to indicate any potential anomalies on a cloud compute node. To experiment on anomaly detection analysis we employ the DICE-fault-injection tool which allows fault injection on the Flexiant’s platform. We use DataPlay’s workload measurements to further estimate the scalability of the analytics tool by comparing the performance when different numbers of CPU cores are used for the analysis. Further CactoScale is integrated with the rest of the CACTOS ecosystem through the development of a prediction tool which is used by CactoOpt and CactoSim to enable cloud operators to make informed choices for deploying workloads. This integration has been evaluated using a computational quantum chemistry tool named MOLPRO. The evaluation considers stress testing the monitoring infrastructure both on single and multiple nodes. The experimental evaluations highlight that CactoScale offers scalable and low overhead monitoring and data analysis in a cloud environment.

description: The assessment of the criticality of raw materials allows the identification of the likelihood of a supply disruption of a material and the vulnerability of a system (e.g. a national economy, technology, or company) to this disruption. Inconclusive outcomes of various studies suggest that criticality assessments would benefit from the identification of best practices. To prepare the field for such guidance, this paper aims to clarify the mechanisms that affect methodological choices which influence the results of a study. This is achieved via literature review and round table discussions among international experts. The paper demonstrates that criticality studies are divergent in the system under study, the anticipated risk, the purpose of the study, and material selection. These differences in goal and scope naturally result in different choices regarding indicator selection, the required level of aggregation as well as the subsequent choice of aggregation method, and the need for a threshold value. However, this link is often weak, which suggests a lack of understanding of cause-and-effect mechanisms of indicators and outcomes. Data availability is a key factor that limits the evaluation of criticality. Furthermore, data quality, including both data uncertainty and data representativeness, is rarely addressed in the interpretation and communication of results. Clear guidance in the formulation of goals and scopes of criticality studies, the selection of adequate indicators and aggregation methods, and the interpretation of the outcomes, are important initial steps in improving the quality of criticality assessments. © 2019 Published by Elsevier B.V.

description: Context: While an association between PCOS and type 2 diabetes is well established, to date there have been few data on clinical care of type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients with PCOS. Objective: The aim of our study was to characterize T1D patients with the comorbidity of PCOS within the DPV cohort with regard to diabetes phenotype, therapy and metabolic control. Design and Setting: Clinical data from the prospective German/Austrian DPV cohort on patients with T1D and documented PCOS (n=76) were compared to female T1D controls (n=32,566) in reproductive age. Results: The age at T1D manifestation in PCOS patients was later than in the control group (14.9±8.2 vs. 11.8±7.0 years, p<0.001). PCOS patients had higher BMI-SDS (0.92±0.11 vs. 0.38±0.01, p<0.001), metformin and oral contraceptives were used more frequently (p<0.001). A1c levels were significantly lower (7.92 +/− 0.23% vs. 8.43±0.01%, p<0.05) despite of lower insulin requirements (0.76±0.04 IU/kg/d vs. 0.84±0.00 IU/kg/d, p<0.05). In the PCOS group, higher rates of dyslipi-demia (63.4 vs. 48.7%, p=0.032) and thyroid disorders (42.2% vs. 21.2%, p<0.001) were present. Discussion: While patients with T1D and comorbid PCOS showed features of a “type 1.5 diabetes” phenotype, insulin requirements per kg body weight were not higher and metabolic control was better, which could be explained only partially by additional metformin therapy. A more precise genetic and metabolic characterisation of these patients is needed to answer open questions on the underlying autoimmune process and residual ß-cell function. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2018

description: Background: Exposure to air pollution impairs aspects of pulmonary and autonomic function and causes pulmonary inflammation. However, how exercising in air pollution affects these indices is poorly understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of low-intensity and high-intensity cycling with diesel exhaust (DE) exposure on pulmonary function, heart rate variability (HRV), fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), norepinephrine and symptoms. Methods: Eighteen males performed 30-min trials of low-intensity or high-intensity cycling (30 and 60% of power at VO2peak) or a resting control condition. For each subject, each trial was performed once breathing filtered air (FA) and once breathing DE (300μg/m3 of PM2.5, six trials in total). Pulmonary function, FeNO, HRV, norepinephrine and symptoms were measured prior to, immediately post, 1 h and 2 h post-exposure. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA. Results: Throat and chest symptoms were significantly greater immediately following DE exposure than following FA (p < 0.05). FeNO significantly increased 1 h following high-intensity exercise in DE (21.9 (2.4) vs. 19.3 (2.2) ppb) and FA (22.7 (1.7) vs. 19.9 (1.4)); however, there were no differences between the exposure conditions. All HRV indices significantly decreased following high-intensity exercise (p < 0.05) in DE and FA. The exception to this pattern was LF (nu) and LF/HF ratio, which significantly increased following high-intensity exercise (p < 0.05). Plasma norepinephrine (NE) significantly increased following high-intensity exercise in DE and FA, and this increase was greater than following rest and low-intensity exercise (p < 0.05). DE exposure did not modify any effects of exercise intensity on HRV or norepinephrine. Conclusions: Healthy individuals may not experience greater acute pulmonary and autonomic effects from exercising in DE compared to FA; therefore, it is unclear if such individuals will benefit from reducing vigorous activity on days with high concentrations on particulate matter.

Settler colonialism and the state of exception: the example of Palestine/Israel
Creators: name: Lloyd, David
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Discourse on Israel, both propagandistic and analytical, has the peculiar tendency of representing it at one moment as normal---a normal democracy, a normal Western society, a normal state---and at others as exceptional: a democracy uniquely embattled among hostile neighbors, a secular state that historically fulfills the religious destiny of a people, a democracy that defines itself as a state for a single people and religion, the only democracy in the region, and so forth. At times, defenders of Israel lay claim to its normality as the reason to exempt it from the norms of human rights and international law, at others complain that Israel is being 'singled out' for criticism. This paper argues that these apparent contradictions, over and above their value to public relations opportunism, can best be explained by understanding Israel's occupation of Palestine as an exemplary settler colonial project whose contradictions are embedded in the early framing of Zionism and whose unfolding follows a logic long ago analyzed by Albert Memmi and other theorists of settler colonialism.

description: We present the ~800 star formation rate maps for the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral field spectrograph (SAMI) Galaxy Survey based on Ha emission maps, corrected for dust attenuation via the Balmer decrement, that are included in the SAMI Public Data Release 1. We mask out spaxels contaminated by non-stellar emission using the [O III]/H β, [NII]/H α, [S II]/H α, and [O I]/H α line ratios. Using thesemaps, we examine the global and resolved starforming main sequences of SAMI galaxies as a function of morphology, environmental density, and stellar mass. Galaxies further below the star-forming main sequence are more likely to have flatter star formation profiles. Early-type galaxies split into two populations with similar stellar masses and central stellar mass surface densities. The main-sequence population has centrally concentrated star formation similar to late-type galaxies, while galaxies > 3σ below the main sequence show significantly reduced star formation most strikingly in the nuclear regions. The split populations support a two-step quenching mechanism, wherein halo mass first cuts off the gas supply and remaining gas continues to form stars until the local stellar mass surface density can stabilize the reduced remaining fuel against further star formation. Across all morphologies, galaxies in denser environments show a decreased specific star formation rate from the outside in, supporting an environmental cause for quenching, such as ram-pressure stripping or galaxy interactions.

description: Selenium (Se) is essential to human health, yet harmful in high doses. Of the water-soluble Se redox species, Se(IV) readily adsorbs onto iron and aluminium oxides. Se(VI), the dominant form in oxygenated waters, is more mobile and less readily adsorbed. In this study, the removal of Se(VI) by reduction with Fe(II) to Se(IV) and subsequent adsorption onto iron hydroxides is investigated in a pilot plant for biological iron and manganese removal from groundwater to investigate an economical approach for Se removal during drinking water production. While Se(IV) is removed by up to 90%, Se(VI) shows no removal over 48 h. In batch-shaking tests, the adsorption of Se(IV) and Se(VI) onto iron hydroxides with and without addition of Fe(II) or dithionite as reducing agents was studied. Se(IV) was removed to a greater extent by adsorption than Se(VI) (7% and 2.6%, respectively, at a starting concentration of 0.1 mg/L) and the addition of reducing agents resulted in no significantly higher removal of Se(VI). Reducing Se(VI) with Fe(II) or dithionite and consequent adsorption onto iron hydroxides can therefore be excluded as viable removal mechanism for Se(VI). © 2023 by the authors

description: ÖZET Modern anlamda enerji, barış zamanında devletlerin gelişmesi ve savaş zamanında milletlerin hayatta kalmaları adına hayati bir öneme sahiptir. Bu nedenle, Avrupa Birliği (AB) ve üye devletleri enerji meselelerine büyük önem vermektedir. Ancak, AB’nin enerjideki yetkileri ve AB çapındaki enerji düzenlemeleri çeşitli tartışmalara neden olmuştur. Çalışmanın ilk bölümünde, Maastricht Antlaşması sonrası ile Lizbon Antlaşması öncesi dönem ele alınmaktadır. Bu dönem, elektrik ve gaz pazarlarının ilk defa liberalleşme sürecine girmesi ve ilk üç enerji paketinin çıkarılması itibariyle önem arz etmektedir. Çalışmanın ikinci bölümünde ise, Lizbon Antlaşması sonrası günümüze kadar olan dönem incelenmektedir. Bu dönem, Rusya ile yaşanan politik problemler nedeniyle Enerji Birliği’nin ilan edilmesi, yenilenebilir enerji ve enerji verimliliği hedefleri ile birlikte enerjide bağımsızlığın ve ortak bir enerji politikasının oluşturulmasının hedeflenmesi bakımından önemlidir. Çalışma boyunca, AB’nin Kurucu Antlaşma’daki ve ikincil düzenlemelerdeki enerji konularındaki yetkilerinin, Maastricht Antlaşması itibariyle başlangıçta yavaş ama sonrasında krizlere bağlı olarak hızlı bir şekilde arttığı ve günümüzde AB çapında bir enerji politikasının oluşturulmuş olduğu savı üzerinde durulmuştur.ABSTRACT In the modern sense, energy is vital for the development of states in peacetime and the survival of nations in wartime. Therefore, the European Union (EU) and its member states attach great importance to energy issues. However, the EU's competences in energy and EU-wide energy regulations have caused various controversies. The first part of the study deals with the post-Maastricht Treaty and pre-Lisbon Treaty period. This period is important in terms of the first liberalization of electricity and gas markets and the adoption of the first three energy packages. The second part of the study examines the period after the Lisbon Treaty until today. This period is important in terms of the announcement of the Energy Union due to the political problems with Russia, the aim of energy independence and the establishment of a common energy policy with renewable energy and energy efficiency targets. Throughout the study, it is argued that the EU's powers on energy issues in the Founding Treaty and secondary legislation increased slowly at the beginning but rapidly after the Maastricht Treaty due to crises and that an EU-wide energy policy has been established today.

Mathematical modelling and applications of spherical catadioptric omnidirectional view sensors
Creators: name: Chong, Nguan Soon
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Dr. Chong Nguan Soon's thesis presents mathematical modellings of spherical catadioptric omnidirectional view sensors and their applications in robotics. Spherical catadioptric omnidirectional view sensors are cameras that capture an entire surrounding in a single image. They are particularly useful in surveillance and robotics applications due to the low cost advantage and completeness in the captured view. His research work involves a real-time view conversion technique that reconstructs omnidirectional view images into human-perceivable perspective view images, and a scene recognition algorithm. The results of his study enable the said sensor to be used in applications such as visual-based location-aware robots.

description: The conventional pixel-oriented classification is the most commonly used approach in remote sensing for land use product extraction. The object-oriented classification based on image segmentation is an alternative, which uses pixel context, texture and shapes, in addition to their spectral characteristics. This paper reports on a comparative study between supervised pixel-oriented and object-oriented classifications in a precision agriculture context using three hyperspectral images on our first study site, and a set of hyperspectral and multispectral images for a second site. The images for the first site, owned by the horticulture research and development centre (Agriculture Canada) at L'Acadie in southern Quebec, were acquired with the Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) sensor at three different altitudes, providing three different spatial resolutions: 1, 2 and 4 m. For the second site, located at the Indian Head Agriculture Research foundation in Saskatchewan, a Probe-1 hyperspectral image was acquired as well as a multispectral IKONOS image. After calibration and correcting the imagery, pixel-oriented classifications were carried out using the maximum likelihood algorithm and object-oriented classifications with a nearest neighbor classifier after region growing hierarchical segmentation. After segmentation, statistical comparison on the mean difference to neighbor objects confirmed that the segments had minimum mixing effects in respect to other segmentation levels and neighboring ground entities. After accuracy analysis on the classifications for the first site, the segmentation process allowed the use of a spatially coarser hyperspectral image (4 m with kappa of 0.8268) to achieve better results than pixel oriented classification of a spatially finer hyperspectral image (1 m with kappa of 0.7730), in the task of delineating agricultural classes. For the second site, results are still consistent. Object oriented results of the hyperspectral Probe-1 image (kappa of 0.9628) significantly exceed the pixel oriented results (kappa of 0.9217). Similarity is observed with IKONOS multispectral imagery (kappa of 0.9371 for object oriented and kappa of 0.8926 for pixel oriented). Image segmentation is therefore an important technique to achieve high accuracy in classification of land cover classes. Hyperspectral imagery also has a strong power of discrimination between many agricultural classes.
