Notes.
Hendey’s unpublished drawings of the specimens found in the Galápagos Islands are reproduced here as Fig. 8 A and some of the specimens are illustrated in Fig. 8 C – F. Again, these have a superficial ‘ similarity’ to the African specimens but, as yet, no specific character has been identified to associate them with Moralesonia frauenfeldii or to describe these specimens as a separate taxon. The three unpublished drawings are said to be from slides ‘ Hendey 6701 ’ (= BM 105487), ‘ Hendey 6708 ’ (= BM 105493), and ‘ Hendey 6730 ’ (= BM 105516). Slide ‘ Hendey 6701 ’ (= BM 105487) must be an error for 6702 (6701 is from San Diego; 6702 is labelled Eunotogramma frauenfeldii). In addition to the notebook, there are a series of unpublished Icones Diatomaceaearum documenting the Galápagos Islands study (Hendey 1971).

Subjects: depression

loneliness

description: As the phenomenon of loneliness becomes ever so prominent, it is important to investigate it in relation to individual differences and mental disorders. Specifically, this paper aims at investigating introversion-extraversion as a predictor of three-factor concept of loneliness (intimate, relational, collective), and in turn loneliness as a predictor of both depression and anxiety. Regression analysis and structural equation modeling will be employed to analyze the survey data of 108 participants. Regression analysis shows how introversion presents lower scores in every level of loneliness, and all dimensions of loneliness predict depression, but only intimate loneliness predicts anxiety. SEM observing these relationships simultaneously shows the model to be a good fit for the data. Applications of results vary considerably, from distinguishing differential social connectedness based on personality, and personality and social connectedness as valid predictors of mental disorders. Future directions and limitations are also discussed.
Using warnings to reduce categorical memory errors in younger and older adults

description: Past literature has extensively explored the ability for experimental paradigms to elicit semantically related false memories in younger and older adults. This research tends to focus on all types of semantic relationships, including categorical, functional and situational relationships between items. When remembering information, coding words into simple categories has been shown to be an effective way to encode the maximum amount of information about words or objects with the least cognitive effort, and recent research has suggested that categorical relationships between items elicit one of the highest rates of false memory production amongst semantic relationships. The current study sought to explore whether warnings could be tailored to reduce categorical false recall. Experiment 1A explored the effectiveness of warnings on younger adults who received a warning and revealed that younger adults effectively reduced the proportion of categorical memory errors after receiving a warning about the pervasiveness of categorical false memories. Experiment 1B explored age related differences upon the effectiveness of warnings and revealed that taken together, the pattern of memory errors proportions across younger and older adults was similar to findings found for younger adults only. Further analysis revealed older adults utilized warnings to reduce categorical memory errors (although not significantly) however they significantly reduced their other-semantic memory errors after receiving a warning. Our findings provide evidence for the effectiveness of warnings at reducing categorical memory errors in younger adults and older adults, with the pattern of findings for older adults suggesting that older adults may generalize warnings more broadly in an attempt to reduce all meaningful/semantically related memory intrusions.
Dopaminergic regulation of immediate-early gene expression in the central nervous system.

description: Alterations in dopaminergic neurotransmission have profound effects on neuronal expression of the putative activity marker, Fos, in both the dorsal and ventral striatum. In the dorsal striatum, D1-like receptor agonists elevates Fos-like immunoreactivity predominantly in neurons projecting to the midbrain (substantia nigra), whereas D2-like receptor antagonist enhances Fos-like immunoreactivity principally in neurons projecting to the pallidum (globus pallidus). Since the nucleus accumbens (largest component of the ventral striatum) also sends projections to the midbrain (ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra) and pallidum (ventral pallidum), the present study utilized retrograde tract tracing techniques to determine if there was a similar segregation of D1-like receptor agonist- and D2-like receptor antagonist-induced $\rm Fos\sb{2{-}16}$-like immunoreactivity in these accumbal projections. Like in the dorsal striatum, D1-like receptor agonists but not D2-like receptor antagonists, increased $\rm Fos\sb{2{-}16}$-like immunoreactivity in accumbal neurons projecting to the midbrain. Also like in the dorsal striatum, D2-like receptor antagonist-induced $\rm Fos\sb{2{-}16}$-like immunoreactivity was located preferentially in accumbal neurons projecting to the pallidum (ventral pallidum). However, unlike in the dorsal striatum where the vast majority of neurons which display D1-like receptor agonist-induced $\rm Fos\sb{2-16}$-like immunoreactivity project to the midbrain, nearly 50% of those neurons in the nucleus accumbens which were $\rm Fos\sb{2{-}16}$ immunoreactive after d-amphetamine or CY 208-243 administration projected to the ventral pallidum. Thus, a similar number of accumbal neurons which expressed D1-like receptor agonist-induced $\rm Fos\sb{2{-}16}$-like immunoreactivity were retrogradely labelled from the midbrain and ventral pallidum.

description: Identity gaps are an important theoretical construct for understanding the relationship between identity and health outcomes. Personal-enacted identity gaps, defined as the difference between an individual’s self-view and the self that one expresses in communication, affects the depression levels of international students living in the United States. This research aimed to examine the relationship between personal-enacted identity gaps formed through communication with Americans and depression, and to extend the findings by understanding the role of acculturative stress, and self-construals in this relationship. A sample of 173 undergraduate and graduate international students studying in the US (114 females and 59 males, Age: M= 22.26 years, SD= 3.8) was recruited to participate in the online study consisting of self-report questionnaires. Results indicated that higher levels of personal-enacted identity gaps predicted depressive symptoms, and that acculturative stress partially mediated this relationship as hypothesized in the moderated mediation model. However, the independent self-construal did not moderate the relationship between these variables. Further analysis showed that the personal-enacted identity gap did not predict depressive symptoms in the East-Asian sub-group in our sample. These results suggest that personal-enacted identity gaps work through acculturative stress and adversely affect the emotional experiences of the international students, specifically the non-East Asian sub-group. It may be beneficial to provide support to the international students on communicating with members of the host culture before their interaction, and to identify students who are at risk for depression through measuring personal-enacted identity gaps and acculturative stress levels.

description: This study investigated the effectiveness of guided meditation as a school-based program for improving children’s mental health outcomes. A total of 374 grade 5 and 6 children (ages 10 to 12) were randomly assigned to either 10 minutes of daily guided meditation or reading (the control activity) over 8 consecutive weeks. Unexpectedly, both guided meditation and reading were effective in improving the behaviour, mental health and well-being of children with a clinical presentation. Results highlighted that guided meditation and reading have the potential to be effective mental health promotion initiatives to create better mental health outcomes for primary school children.

Homoallylation with 1,2,3-Trisubstituted Cyclopropylcarbinyl Boronic Esters

Year: 2024

description: Allylboration and crotylboration are well-researched chemical processes thatyield stereocontrolled products via allylboronate addition to aldehydes. Similarly,homoallylboration and homocrotylboration can be achieved with cyclopropylcarbinyl boronateadditions to reactions with a broad range of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, selectivelyproducing bishomoallyic alcohol products. The products then serve as scaffolds for naturalproducts and pharmaceutically significant compounds, enabling more efficient synthetic pathways.This work focuses on the homoallylation of aldehydes with 1,2,3-trisubstitutedcyclopropylcarbinyl propanediol boronic esters, resulting in a bishomoallylic alcohol product withthree contiguous stereocenters. The novel 1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclopropylcarbinyl propanediolboronic esters were first prepared using an unselective three-step synthetic pathway and thensynthesized selectively using three complementary routes. Homoallylation with both aromatic andaliphatic aldehydes has been achieved with two of the 1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclopropylcarbinylpropanediol boronic esters, and studies are ongoing to fully characterize the stereochemistry of theproducts. The application of these novel reagents for homoallylation offers a new perspective onthe reactivity and selectivity of the reaction. This has thus established the basis for potential futurestudies, enabling the exploration of various applications in total synthesis.

description: While several studies focus on testing the predictive content of the yield curve, few explain why such predictive power prevails. Previous literature connects the root of the predictive content to monetary easing and market expectations. Following this path, this paper develops an SVAR model to investigate the dynamics among term spread, monetary surprises, and fluctuations in market expectations. Results reveal that between 1990 and 2019, the time for output growth to turn to zero due to yield curve shock has accelerated, indicating a growing predictive power. The impulse response of output growth implies the presence of a self-fulfilling prophecy. In response to surprises in monetary policy, the value of shorter-term securities is subject to great uncertainty. As market participants learn how yield curve inversion has succeeded in predicting recessions in the past, they hedge by positioning themselves for a recession as a yield curve inversion occurs. Gradually, the risk aversion propels the predictive content of the yield curve, effectively making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

description: Socially and economically, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on women’s lives, but it is less clear whether the crisis also harmed the advancement of women’s political candidacies. In this thesis, I address the question: Did the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impact the rate of women running for state-level office in the 2020 elections? I use the variation in filing deadlines for primary candidates across state legislatures to attempt to isolate the impact of the pandemic on women’s candidate emergence. I create an original dataset of major party candidates for state house seats in 2018 and 2020 in six focus states and compare the proportion of candidates who are women in states with filing deadlines months before and after the pandemic hit the United States. My statistical analysis finds no evidence that the pandemic decreased women’s interest in running for office in 2020. I find that the onset of the pandemic is not associated with any significant change in the proportion of candidates who are women and is positively associated with an increase in the geographic spread of women candidates across individual districts. These findings suggest that once women have decided that they could see themselves running for office, their political ambition is resilient even to major social and economic disruptions. Future research into the causes of the patterns I observe could uncover important information about how to support and encourage more women to run for office, even once the pandemic ends.
The numbers don’t have it: why measuring won’t lead to better health

description: A recent study of patient data from Melbourne’s eastern suburbs published in the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) showed GPs are not checking their patients’ Body Mass Index (BMI) or measuring their waist circumference. The article’s authors interpret this as a shortcoming but these doctors may actually be avoiding the trap of thinking simplistic measurements help patient health and well-being.
The paper’s authors assume – as does the National Health and Medical Research Council – that if GPs weighed and measured their patients, they’d be better able to address weight-related health problems.
But there are good reasons to be sceptical about whether scales are an effective weapon in the so-called “war on obesity”. In fact, weighing people may do more harm than good by giving an unreliable picture of the complex realities of health and weight.

description: The Knowledge-Based Program Understanding and Testing Assistant (KBPUTA) is presented in this thesis. This assistant was designed and implemented as a proof-of-concept system. The purpose in developing this assistant is threefold; (1) to provide a generic design for a tool to aid in the maintenance task of program understanding, (2) to illustrate how regression testing assistance for a program modification can be provided, and (3) to show how such a tool can easily be built using a commercially available knowledge-based system development shell. The major contributions of this thesis are: (1) the inclusion of domain knowledge in the specification of program goals. This will allow the maintenance assistant to provide three views of a program, a domain knowledge view, a program knowledge view, and a view that shows the mapping between the two. (2) development of a knowledge-based development shell independent design for a maintenance assistant. (3) providing regression testing assistance before the actual program modification is made. This is accomplished by advising the user what must be tested for a given change. This may cause the user to create another modification design that will have less impact on the program than the original change. (4) providing assistance on the regression testing of global variables. This is based upon the work by Leung and White (1990A). The development of the roles for the regression testing of global variables was assisted by Hareton Leung. KBPUTA is implemented using the Aion Development Expert System Shell (ADS/WIN) version 6.2. ADS/WIN runs under Windows 3.0, or greater, on any PC with at least 4MB of RAM. The Aion Execution System (AES/WIN), vs 6.2, is required in order to run the proof-of-concept system.

description: V(D)J recombination is a process that generates the diversity of the immune repertoire against foreign antigens. During B and T cell development, genes encoding immunoglobulins (Ig) and T cell receptors (TCR) variable region are somatically assembled by selective V (variable), D (diversity) and J (joining) segments pre-existing in the germline. Recombination-activating genes 1 and 2 (RAG1/RAG2), the lymphocyte-specific factors, initiate V(D)J recombination by nicking at the border the heptamer sequence of RSS (recombination signal sequence) and generate four DNA double stranded breaks (DSB) in the cleavage step. After cleavage, RAG1/RAG2 complex are still bound to the DNA ends. In the joining step, DNA breaks are processed and rejoined by non-homologous end joining apparatus, which includes Ku70/Ku80, DNA-PKcs, Artemis, XRCC4 and DNA ligase IV. However, how the cleavage step is linked to the joining step is not yet known. My results suggest that a physical interaction between RAG1/2 and Ku antigen may help coordinate the cleavage stage of V(D)J with the non homologous DNA end rejoining of the mature sequences.

description: Innovation is crucial for many organizations and industries aiming to maintain a competitive edge in national and international markets. That innovations can be created in a multitude of ways is a wellknown fact. One possibility considered here are cross-industry innovations, as in those innovations that seek to transfer existing processes and technologies from other industries into their own sector, and then use them to generate more innovations. The main difficulties facing such an endeavor is, amongst others, the ability to identify the relevant extra-industry processes and technologies, successfully integrating them into one’s own knowledge structure, and implementing them in a company-specific application.

Visualizing ordered sets using force-directed placement.

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: The main aim of this thesis is to study and develop algorithms to visualise ordered sets and secondly to develop algorithms to visualise the faces of complicated ordered sets. To obtain a "pleasing" drawing for an order is an important issue and deserves attention. To this end, the ordered set may be drawn with minimum edge crossing, same edge length, and it may reflect geometrical symmetry (BaEaTaTo94). A leading problem is to visualise the faces of an ordered set with discrete structure; some ordered sets, like the projective plane, have a discrete structure that is difficult to visualise and understand. In this thesis we are extending to three dimensions the concept of Eades (Ea84). The ordered set is treated as a physical object and the vertices are considered as metal spheres with charges while the edges are considered as mechanical springs. The rules of physics are applied to the system and each vertex moves according to the net force applied to it until the system reaches its equilibrium position and the net force on each vertex is zero.

Plato's Symposium

description: At the heart of the Symposium there lies the conceptual problem of defining the term eros in a manner that remains faithful to both its linguistic and philosophical context. Beginning with the conversation between Apollodorus and his unnamed stranger and ending with Socrates departing for the Lyceum, eros remains the sole focus of the entire work. With such a burden of importance placed upon one single word and its subsequent meanings and interpretations, it is useful to apply a consistent and distinct methodology, whether to an overarching global theme or an individual speech, in order to reveal the subtle syntactical selections Plato makes to support his larger philosophical argument.\r The common conceptualization of eros applied by scholars has tried to achieve a universal understanding, one overarching definition that can be applied to any context in \r which eros must have a one-to-one English equivalent. This technique has led to a problem in modern scholarship, in which translations vary to such a degree that the true meaning of eros has become lost in the process. The cause of such confusion is not due to a lack of logical analysis, but a lack of a logical methodology on which to base such analysis.\r The goal must be to strike a balance between the overarching concept of eros that pervaded the Greek consciousness, and the individual uses evidenced in the text of the Symposium. This paper proposes a new methodology which will be founded on the work of Ferdinand de Saussure and his theories of general linguistics. This approach yields a new interpretation of the word that both defines its individual meaning and the greater philosophical lesson Plato is attempting to convey. Eros is the desire of the soul, a desire that has future aspirations of finding a partner in whom one can contemplate the true meaning of beauty. It inspires, instructs, and guides those whom it touches toward immortality through fame, procreation, and wisdom.

Threat, Delay, and Deradicalization: Brandeis University and the Political Power within Institutional Memory
Creators: name: Larue, Sam Joseph
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Social Movements

description: Through the study of case events in the short history of Brandeis University, I find that university administrators often pitch their responses to on-campus protest to two audiences: the protestors themselves, and the uninformed public. Administrators often try to angle their disapproval of student dissent into familiar channels, such as threat, disruption of daily affairs, and infeasibility. The university also tends to selectively employ criminalization of student protestors, based on the struggle between appearing as a stable, law-and-order institution and appearing cruel and unresponsive to student demands. The rate at which adoption of said student demands and official incorporation into the institutional history happens is determined by the radical nature of the demands’ content, as well as the relative cost of adoption. Those elements chosen for incorporation must fit into the nebulous structure of neoliberal capitalist knowledge production, and then be claimed by the university as a standalone event. While this is happening, student protestors are criminalized and disciplined while the university can profit off the history of their labor.

Optimum population distribution described by dynamic models and controlled by immigration and job creation
Creators: name: He, Yongjuan
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: In this thesis, dynamic mathematical models are constructed to describe the population distribution in Canada based on the model in previous work by Ahmed and Rahim [1]. Numerical results demonstrate that the model population is in close agreement with the actual population. This indicates that the presented model can be used as a valuable tool for describing the dynamics of population distribution. We also demonstrate that by using modern Systems and Optimal Control theory [2], it is possible to formulate optimum immigration and job creation strategies while maintaining population level close to certain pre-specified targets. An optimization algorithm [2] is then developed based on dynamic programming and gradient algorithm approach. Unknown parameters such as birth rate, death rates and transition rates are estimated and identified. The system model obtained by using the identified parameters is then augmented by adding a fourth equation describing the dynamics of unemployment rate. This model is then used to formulate a control problem with immigration and job creation rates being the decision (control) variables. Using optimal control theory, optimum immigration and job creation policies are determined. Results are illustrated by numerical simulation and they are found to be very encouraging.
title: Lit Mods

Publisher: name: Electronic Literature Lab
Year: 2020

description: Seiça describes modification as an art practice meant to subvert and divert from what we—as readers, spectators, and also consumers—expect from technological apparati and platforms. He extends the study of mods to “lit mods”—including art, games, and literature.
In particular, Seiça notes that the learning curve for modding has changed: where in the past, it may have taken a certain amount of user knowledge, modification may now be automated (for instance, through Instagram filters). More importantly, he asks what lit mods show us about literary practice and literary criticism. Where fast-moving content—fast-moving e-literature and e-poetry included—may defy interpretation, so analysis is strengthened by breaking down their mechanisms.
N-heterocyclic carbenes as activating ligands in hydrogenation catalysts: Synthetic and catalytic studies
Creators: name: Dharmasena, Ureshini Lasantha

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: Novel hydridochlorocarbonyl ruthenium complexes containing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were prepared in order to explore the effect of the NHC ligand class in hydrogenation chemistry. Routes were developed to RuHCl(CO)(NHC)(PPh 3) (NHC = IMes, H2IMes) from RuHCl(CO)(PPh3) 3, and the hydrogenation activities of these complexes were screened against that of the known complexes RuHCl(CO)(PCy3)2 and RuHCl(CO)(IMes)(PCy3). The combination of the donor ability of the NHC ligand, in conjunction with the lability of the PPh3 group, increased activity for the challenging hydrogenation of sterically hindered trans internal olefins, but also led to competing isomerization of terminal olefins and polymerization of strained cycloolefins. In the course of this work, high yield, efficient new routes were also developed to the known complexes RuHCl(CO)(PCy3)2 and RuHCl(CO)(NHC)(PCy3) from RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3. The lability of the phosphine groups in the latter precursor complex enabled milder reaction conditions than had been possible in the literature methods. In an effort to gain access to carbonyl-free analogues, synthesis of a ruthenium hydride complex containing a cyclometalated IMes ligand was undertaken. However, the product obtained using the reported method was a novel complex, formulated as RuHCl(IMes)2 on the basis of extensive NMR and MALDI-MS analysis.
Insider Trading: Eastman Kodak

description: This paper describes the context for and explores the claims of insider trading against Eastman Kodak using a mix of quantitative and qualitative analysis. This paper is divided into three different chapters. The first chapter is a general overview of Eastman Kodak in July and the critical information surrounding the US international development finance corporation loan announcement. This chapter includes but is not limited to investments reports, legal reports, Eastman Kodak's press release, and a closer look at the loan application's DFC guidelines. That information will help us establish a range of times where insider trading could have occurred. Knowing the context surrounding the DFC Loan announcement will be useful when explaining our results. The second chapter explores the potential value of Eastman Kodak using the Altman Z score to assess the likelihood of Eastman Kodak going bankrupt in the two following years. We will analyze the hard-to-borrow1 implications of Eastman Kodak stock and what it meant in terms of market movements. In the third chapter, we will use a toolkit of financial econometrics that draws from Kenneth Ahern's recent works to look for potential informed trading in Kodak trading data.

description: The issue of abortion is one that is contentious and polarizing in a number of countries. In response to the heated nature of these debates, there are strong pro-choice and pro-life movements that are active in various regions of the world. This thesis studies two such abortion rights movements in Argentina and the United States, and factors that have impacted the contexts in which the movements exist and what they have accomplished. Considerations such as the legality of abortion, current political arena, and religion are deeply influential to the ways movements operate, and which collective action frames they employ to share their mission and message to the greater public. I utilize a theoretical framework that includes the concepts of legal context, political field, religious context, framing, and reproductive justice to position abortion movements sociologically. This comparative investigation takes a fresh, nuanced approach to the subject, arguing that we must consider factors like legal, political, and religious contexts as significant pieces of the puzzle when analyzing social movements. Often, scholars and popular discourses take religion to be the sole explanatory factor for why abortion is legal or illegal in a certain country or why a pro-choice movement functions in a certain way. But throughout this work, I demonstrate that we must focus on the confluence of considerations that work together to create the fields in which social movements arise, gain support, and succeed or fail.

description: This article constructs nonparametric two-step least squares (2SLS) and generalized method of moments (GMM) sieve estimators to estimate a functional-coefficient spatial autoregressive model with an endogenous environment variable. We derive the consistency and asymptotic normality results for our proposed sieve estimators. A small Monte Carlo study shows that our proposed estimators exhibit good finite-sample performance. An empirical application is used to illustrate the usefulness of our methods.
Secure communication using elliptic curve cryptosystem in ad hoc network
Creators: name: Singh, Namita
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Ad hoc networks are standalone networks supporting "communication anytime and anywhere" using portable devices like PDAs, cell phones, laptops etc. which require no predefined organization of available links but offer constraints such as battery life, bandwidth, memory, computational ability, security, quality of service, reliability, range of the device and speed. Security framework is essential and relies on certificates to communicate with each other but requires higher battery life, bandwidth and memory space. Researchers have been using keys as an alternative. However, no protocol is complete solution due to the presence of large key lengths and high bandwidth usage. Therefore, an efficient key management system is proposed using Elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC) aiming at secure communication among the nodes concentrating mainly on key generation, agreement and encryption/decryption with an assumption that the nodes have capabilities for efficient key storage and key security. In other words, the goal is to enable sender nodes to transmit data from sender to the destination without threats.
