description: Electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices hold significant importance in the successful implementation of renewable energy systems. Solid-state electrolytes, with garnet-type crystal structure for lithium ion batteries, have been synthesized using ceramic method for energy storage application. A systematic study on lithium-stuffed garnet-type Li5+2xLa3Ta2-xYxO12 (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.75) have been carried out for the understanding of the effect of Y- and Li- doping on the structural, electrical, chemical and electrochemical properties. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies have revealed the cubic garnet-type structure of the materials. The AC electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has shown that the sample with highest Li and Y content show the best Li+ ion conductivity of 10-4 Scm-1 at room temperature. Optimization of lithium salt added during the solid-state preparation of garnets to compensate lithium loss at higher sintering temperatures was also carried out on Li6La3Ta1.5Y0.5O12. Crystal structure was unaltered with the change in lithium salt addition, whereas the porosity and conductivity were affected. Evaluation of fundamental transport properties of Li5+2xLa3M2-xYxO12 (M = Nb, Ta) (x = 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75) has been carried out by employing AC EIS method. The dielectric analysis performed below room temperature suggested that the Li+ ion conduction in garnet-type materials takes place through a hopping mechanism following Path A (low energy route) or Path B (high energy route). Hybrid proton conducting materials derived from ionic liquid and polyoxometalates have been developed for the potential application in energy conversion devices. The effect of different heteropoly acids such as H3PW11MoO40, H4PMo11VO40 and H5PMo11V2O40 used along with (3-(pyridin-1-ium-1-yl) propane-1-sulfonate (PyPs)) ionic liquid on the properties of hybrid materials were studied. A high thermal stability up to ~ 300 °C, electrochemical stability of ~ 3V, and ionic conductivity of 0.01 Scm-1 at 90 °C were observed for the hybrid proton conductors. A soft-chemistry approach was proposed for the synthesis of another class of proton conductors, from layered perovskites such as KLaNb2O7 and K2La2Ti3O10, and an imidazolium based ionic liquid. PXRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to understand the ion exchange chemistry.

description:

L’opera costituisce uno dei capisaldi degli studi processualcivilisti in Italia in materia di prova. L’indagine si concentra sulla nozione di «rilevanza» della prova, soffermandosi, innanzitutto, sul significato da attribuire a tale locuzione, che, anche alla luce di un’approfondita ricognizione degli studi svolti all’estero sul tema, viene intesa come la possibilità di fornire informazioni utili per l’accertamento della verità dei fatti. Questa possibilità è da intendersi in re ipsa quando si tratta di una prova diretta, poiché essa verte proprio sull’enunciato del fatto che si tratta di accertare. Quando, invece, si tratta di prova indiretta, viene in rilievo la valutazione di rilevanza attribuita al giudice, la quale implica la formulazione ipotetica di una inferenza che mira a stabilire se il fatto che è oggetto della prova potrebbe essere assunto come premessa che giustifichi una conclusione relativa al fatto che deve essere accertato; se il risultato di questa inferenza è positivo, allora la prova è da considerarsi rilevante e va ammessa in quanto può fornire informazioni utili per la decisione finale.

description: Com especial propensão para o desenvolvimento de uma racionalidade emotiva, os media têm hoje uma particular vocação para nos fazer olhar a morte. Tão intensa como a própria vida, a morte impõe-se nos media por um “fazer-se sentir”, um imperativo de participação colectiva na dor alheia. A mediatização da agonia de João Paulo II é apenas o pretexto para um trabalho que pretende, acima de tudo, interrogar o carácter de noticiabilidade da morte.

Arctic legal tides : the politics of international law in the Northwest Passage
Creators: name: Nankivell, Justin DeMowbray
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The politics of international law should be seen as a constant condition of international affairs within which the practices of international law and world politics unfold. This work aims to uncover several ways to understand the politics of international law, and in particular, to understand how law and politics interact within extended foreign policy sequences. These long foreign policy episodes are generally centered on a particular component, or body of, international law. Yet they are also subject to numerous elements and functions of international law which give form and content to a state’s policy development. These include complex compliance decisions, repeated public justifications over the terms of legal validity, learning what the law requires to meet thresholds of compliance, and states’ engaging in forms of legal rhetoric known as creative legal arguments: legal justifications that attempt to change international law when states face difficult policy choices. These various areas of international law highlight, in part, how international law ‘works’, or has effects within world politics. This project attempts to consolidate recent scholarship in this subject area by employing eclectic theorizing to explain the politics of international law as it unfolds in policy deliberation and choice. This task involves utilizing many insights from social constructivism and critical international legal theory, but also capturing the central ideas of legal realism, rationalism, and interactionalism in their ability to explain compliance decisions. From this point of departure, this work attempts to build theoretical bridges through a genuine interdisciplinary engagement with international relations and international law. Such an endeavor brings clarity to empirical events and historical legal phenomena. To demonstrate this claim, the analysis offered evaluates the foreign policy sequence in Canadian legal policy over the Arctic waters known as the Northwest Passage, a forty year legal dispute between Canada and the United States. The case study sheds light on how international law-making unfolds over time, by virtue of the numerous iterations between Canada and the United States in bi-lateral settings, international conferences, and the third codification conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

description: This paper proposes a framework dedicated to the construction of what we call discrete elastic inner product allowing one to embed sets of non-uniformly sampled multivariate time series or sequences of varying lengths into inner product space structures. This framework is based on a recursive definition that covers the case of multiple embedded time elastic dimensions. We prove that such inner products exist in our general framework and show how a simple instance of this inner product class operates on some prospective applications, while generalizing the Euclidean inner product. Classification experimentations on time series and symbolic sequences datasets demonstrate the benefits that we can expect by embedding time series or sequences into elastic inner spaces rather than into classical Euclidean spaces. These experiments show good accuracy when compared to the euclidean distance or even dynamic programming algorithms while maintaining a linear algorithmic complexity at exploitation stage, although a quadratic indexing phase beforehand is required.

Respiratory disease monitoring in feedlot cattle

Subjects: subject: Veterinary Science
subject: feedlot

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) remains the most significant disease complex in the feedlot industry worldwide. Approximately 16% of the incoming cattle population develops BRD during the feeding period. Commonly, trained feedlot personnel visually observe cattle in the home pen and decide on treatment if necessary. However, inaccurate and late diagnosis contributes to economic losses associated with this important disease. The overall aim of this thesis was to explore methods to increase accuracy and improve timing of BRD detection in feedlots. Research presented in this thesis focused on using automatic recording system for individual feeding behaviour, evaluated 2 alternative automated behaviour monitoring systems, identified the economic value of using automated behaviour recording systems and summarized current methods to improve accuracy of visual detection, timing of identification and prognostic methods for unfavourable BRD outcome. Chapter two demonstrated that continuous monitoring of feeding behaviour with individual feedbunks identified sick steers up to 7 days before visual signs of BRD appeared. Increased average meal-size, meal-time, time between meals and frequency of meals were associated with decreased BRD hazard. Two automatic recording systems for feeding but also other behaviour were evaluated in chapter 3 of this thesis. An ear-motion detector was highly sensitive and moderately specific in feeding time monitoring, but was highly specific with low sensitivity for rumination recording. Conversely, a leg-attached accelerometer accurately measured bunk attendance, bunk visit frequency as well as lying time. Chapter 4 demonstrated that the costs of individual feedbunks as used in chapter 2 did not outweigh the benefits of earlier and more efficient treatment. To be cost effective for BRD detection the per animal costs of the system would have to be < CAD 4, unless the true BRD incidence exceeded 47%. Finally, chapter 5 demonstrated that automated monitoring systems have been implemented successfully to detect BRD. Specifically, feeding behaviour and temperature monitoring could be used for early identification of BRD affected cattle.

description: The work presented in this thesis is dedicated to the study of two facets of the so-called p-cone optimization: one methodological and mostly theoretical, while the other applied and computational. Motivated by optimal radiotherapy design for cancer treatment, we investigate the computational hardness of p-cone optimization, namely the complexity of forming a tractable approximation to such a problem, as well as the suitability of p-cone optimization to optimal radiotherapy design. It is demonstrated by Ben-Tal and Nemirovski that an ε-approximation to a Second Order Conic Optimization (SOCO) problem is polynomial reducible to Linear Optimization (LO). In this thesis, we consider a generalization of SOCO to p-Order Conic Optimization (pOCO) where the second order cone is replaced with the p-norm cone. In the first part of the thesis, we develop three conic approximation schemes for p-norm cone and estimate their complexities. We proposed a second order conic approximation with complexity of O(4√1/ε) on the number of affine inequalities giving ε cone approximation. In the second part of the thesis, a novel unconstrained convex moment based model is proposed to enable embedding of so-called dose volume histogram in the context of radiation therapy planning optimization. We investigate the suitability of the newly proposed method and compare its performance to other three known methods to replicate a set of dose volume histograms. We provide a benchmark of performance of each method in terms of dosimetery and run time.

description: Introduction: The discharge of patients from the intensive care unit (ICU) to a hospital ward is a common transition of care that is associated with error and adverse events. Further identification of risk stratification tools, risk factors and overall adverse event rates may help identify high-risk patients and improve the ICU discharge process. Methods: Ovid EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, PUBMED and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from the earliest available date through March 2013, plus reference lists and citations of all studies included in the systematic review. Data were extracted on the study design, setting, population, sample size, tool and outcomes. Results: The literature search identified 9,926 citations, of which 58 studies identifying eight tools and 41 risk factors met the inclusion criteria. Reported outcomes included ICU readmission and post-ICU mortality .We were able to determine a pooled ICU readmission rate of 6.3%(95% CI 5.5-7.2%). and post-ICU mortality rate of 7.4% (95% CI 6.6-8.2%). Pooling of identified risk factors facilitated the development of two ICU discharge meta-prediction models, which were tested in a local database yielding areas under receiver operator curves ranging from 0.72 to 0.97. Conclusions: Eight risk stratification tools and 41 risk factors were identified from systematic review. Two meta-prediction models were developed and tested; yielding promising results, but further optimization is warranted. Although risk stratification tools may help clinician decision-making, further evaluation of the existing tools’ effects on care is required prior to clinical implementation. The identification of pooled adverse event rates from systematic review is proposed to serve as ICU benchmarks, contributing to improvement of ICU quality of patient care.

description: Malnutrition and its sequelae have been implicated in up to 56% of childhood deaths in low and middle income countries, with 83% of those deaths attributable to mild or moderate rather than severe malnutrition. Recently, poor intestinal function has been implicated as a causational factor in up to 40% of childhood malnutrition. Biological anthropology, the study of human biological and behavioural variation, allows for the acquisition of detailed, contextualized data to elucidate the factors influencing health and facilitate the creation of culturally appropriate and effective interventions. Nicaragua is ranked 124 of 187 countries by the UN Human Development Report, and the Jinotega region is one of the poorest with the worst maternal and child health outcomes. This research aims to describe nutritional status and intestinal function, and evaluate the hypothesis that poor intestinal function correlates with poor nutritional status in children under two years of age in Los Robles, Nicaragua.

description: The CLAS detector was used to obtain the first ever measurement of the electromagnetic decay of the $Σ^{*+}(1385)$ from the reaction $γp \to K^0 Σ^{*+}(1385)$. A real photon beam with a maximum energy of 3.8 GeV was incident on a liquid-hydrogen target, resulting in the photoproduction of the kaon and $Σ^*$ hyperon. Kinematic fitting was used to separate the reaction channel from the background processes. The fitting algorithm exploited a new method to kinematically fit neutrons in the CLAS detector, leading to the partial width measurement of $250.0\pm56.9(stat)^{+34.3}_{-41.2}(sys)$ keV. A U-spin symmetry test using the SU(3) flavor-multiplet representation yields predictions for the $Σ^{*+}(1385)\toΣ^{+}γ$ and $Σ^{*0}(1385)\toΛγ$ partial widths that agree with the experimental measurements.

description: Ion implantation is an interesting method to dope semiconducting materials such as zinc oxide provided that the implantation-induced defects can be subsequently removed. Nitrogen implantation followed by anneals under O2 were carried out on zinc oxide nanowires in the same conditions as in a previous study on bulk ZnO [J. Appl.Phys. 109, 023513 (2011)], allowing a direct comparison of the defect recovery mechanisms. Transmission electron microscopy and cathodoluminescence were carried out to assess the effects of nitrogen implantation and of subsequent anneals on the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanowires. Defect recovery is shown to be more effective in nanowires compared with bulk material due to the proximity of free surfaces. Nevertheless, the optical emission of implanted and annealed nanowires deteriorated compared to as-grown nanowires, as also observed for unimplanted and annealed nanowires. This is tentatively attributed to the dissociation of excitons in the space charge region induced by O2 adsorption on the nanowire surface.

description: Addiction is a complex and growing phenomenon that affects many people in many different contexts. Mothering a child through long-term addiction treatment is an under-researched context. This study is a narrative inquiry into the experiences of four mothers parenting children through long-term addiction treatment. Narrative inquirers explore experience by attending to features of temporality, sociality, and place as they feature in stories that are both lived and told. During 12 months of narrative inquiry fieldwork, four participants and myself inquired into their experiences as mothers of children with addictions. Four narrative accounts of these experiences are presented. These co-composed accounts speak powerfully to participants’ experiences on complex personal, familial, social, and addiction landscapes. The narrative accounts provide a basis for theorizing four narrative threads: navigating complexities; loud silences; living within one another’s stories, and; places, spaces, and the in-between. This dissertation concludes in the midst of participants’ lives. Recommendations for practice, research, and narrative inquiry fieldwork are made.

This detection of the planetary signal results in the determination of the orbital inclination being i = 47 (+7, -6) degrees and furthermore allow us to solve for the exact planetary mass being mp = 5.6 (0.7) MJup. This clearly confirms the planetary nature of the non-transiting companion to Tau Boo.

description: This study is a qualitative, interpretive exploration of how students experience blogging in a high school English course. To understand how participants use technology to communicate, their out-of-school digital practices are first briefly considered. The study then follows participants’ experiences on the blogosphere and in the classroom, and explores any pedagogical potential of blogging. Technology’s ubiquitous presence increasingly affects communication, making it simpler for one’s voice to be heard, and to connect with others. As blogging enables this type of participation, it is explored in relation to the notion of participatory culture. Qualitative, interpretive methods were used to understand participants’ experiences. Findings suggest common themes that resonated throughout their experiences. Blogging created a heightened awareness of audience, enabled participants to find and use their voices, and fostered peer-based learning. It also developed new, personal understandings for participants as they recalled seeing both their peers and themselves differently.

description: A plastic turnbuckle diamond anvil cell (DAC) and nonmetallic gasket have been developed for pulsed magnetic field studies to address issues of eddy current heating and Lorentz forces in metal cells. The plastic cell evolved from our 6.3 mm metal diameter turnbuckle DAC that was designed in 1993 to rotate in the 9 mm sample space of Quantum Design's MPMS. Attempts to use this metal DAC in pulsed magnetic fields caused the sample temperature to rise to T>70 K, necessitating the construction of a nonconductive cell and gasket. Pressures of 3 GPa have been produced in the plastic cell with 0.8 mm culets in an optical study conducted at T = 4 K. Variations of the cell are now being used for fermiology studies of metallic systems in pulsed magnetic fields that have required the development of a rotator and a special He-3 cryostat which are also discussed.

A racionalidade da retórica

Publisher: name: SOPCOM: Associação Portuguesa de Ciências da Comunicação
Year: 2005

description: Os políticos são uns retóricos diz-se, querendo com isso significar que não serão lá grande coisa, que o que dizem não se escreve e que falam muito mas não dizem nada ou, pelo menos, que acertam pouco. Essa seria, aliás, a especial vocação da retórica: embrulhar num discurso enganoso palavras tão mansas e escorregadias que seduzissem o mais desconfiado. Um discurso de má-fé e engenhosamente armadilhado para apanhar incautos. Mais coisa menos coisa, é esta a concepção de retórica que parece predominar ainda, não só na ciência, como também na filosofia, na política, nos negócios e até, porventura, no próprio relacionamento afectivo.

description: Viscosity is the most important parameter influencing heavy oil production and development. While heavy oil viscosities can be measured in the lab from core and wellhead samples, it would be very useful to have a method to reliably estimate heavy oil viscosity directly from well logs. Multi-attribute analysis enables a target attribute (viscosity) to be predicted from other known attributes (the well logs). The viscosity measurements were generously provided by Donor Company, which allowed viscosity prediction equations to be trained. Once the best method of training the prediction was determined, viscosity was successfully predicted from resistivity, gamma-ray, NMR porosity, spontaneous potential, and the sonic logs. The predictions modelled vertical viscosity variations throughout the reservoir interval, while matching the true measurements with a 0.76 correlation. Another set of viscosity predictions were generated using log-derived seismic properties. The top viscosity-predicting seismic properties were found to be P-wave velocity and acoustic impedance. They predicted viscosity with an average validation error less than one standard deviation, however the predictions were less detailed with a correlation of only 0.35. Also explored in this thesis was the effect of including depth as a viscosity predictor, predicting viscosity from acoustic logs scaled to seismic frequencies, and bitumen-water contact detection from acoustic logs.
S-duality as a beta-deformed Fourier transform

description: An attempt is made to formulate Gaiotto's S-duality relations in an explicit quantitative form. Formally the problem is that of evaluation of the Racah coefficients for the Virasoro algebra, and we approach it with the help of the matrix model representation of the AGT-related conformal blocks and Nekrasov functions. In the Seiberg-Witten limit, this S-duality reduces to the Legendre transformation. In the simplest case, its lifting to the level of Nekrasov functions is just the Fourier transform, while corrections are related to the beta-deformation. We calculate them with the help of the matrix model approach and observe that they vanish for beta=1. Explicit evaluation of the same corrections from the U_q(sl(2)) infinite-dimensional representation formulas due to B.Ponsot and J.Teshner remains an open problem.

Cultural hybridity and visual representations of the immigrant journey
Creators: name: Ho, Charmaine Clarabelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study explores the visual representations of the immigrant journey from assimilation to community to hybridity. A sample of Asian-American and Asian-Australian picture books and graphic novels Hannah Is My Name: A Young Immigrant’s Story (written and illustrated by Belle Yang), The Arrival (written and illustrated by Shaun Tan), and American Born Chinese (written and illustrated by Gene Luen Yang), were examined for an understanding of visual representations of the cultural hybrid identity of Asian immigrants to inform classroom practice. This literary analysis is framed by five areas of scholarship: the power of picture books for young readers; Asian-American literary theory; perspectives on multicultural literature; the move from multicultural literary theory to postcolonial theory; and in particular Bhabha’s postcolonial theory of cultural hybridity. The analysis concludes that the immigrant journey moves from assimilation to community to resistance, resulting in the most current representation of the Asian immigrant as negotiating a culturally hybrid identity.
De uma retórica da persuasão para uma retórica da sedução

description: Mostrar um ponto de vista, argumentar, levar alguém a mudar de opinião são desejos que já estão presentes nos escritos que remontam de há muitos séculos atrás. Geograficamente distante da civilização que viu surgir a Retórica, encontram-se já histórias de tradição oral com elevado teor argumentativo, como é o caso do livro de Job, que faz parte dos livros da Bíblia. Escrito por um autor incerto, que poderia ser Moisés, Salomão ou o próprio Job, num período compreendido entre os séculos XV a II a. C. O Conteúdo do livro é claro: Satanás apresenta-se a Deus, pedindo-lhe autorização para molestar Job com o intuito de o fazer blasfemar. A permissão é concedida e os 42 capítulos do livro apresentam diálogos em que Job alega a sua inocência e ouve os conselhos e críticas dos amigos, que procuram encontrar motivos ocultos para as causas do sofrimento daquele. O protagonista do livro acaba por receber resposta e regressar a um estado de prosperidade superior ao inicial. (...)
