description: The fabrication and applications of photonic crystal fibers (PCF) are discussed. The fabrication of transverse PCFs has advantage over the existing photonic crystals (PC) which include, smooth walls which suppress scattering, tunability, and a potentially arbitrary microstructure which adds flexibility to device concepts. The geometry and microstructure of PCF were analyzed using scanning electron micrograph. The finite-difference time-domain simulation was used to study the propagation of light across the PCF. Microphotonics components are created using transverse optical fiber sections which have planar functionality.

description: Agency and altruism theory are combined to develop a framework for explaining expected returns on informal investments in 35 countries that participated in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) in 2004 and 2005. The principal finding is that altruism affects expected returns. Expected returns increase as the relationship distance between the investor and the entrepreneur increases; men expect higher returns than women; entrepreneurs expect higher returns than non-entrepreneurs; expected returns increase as the amount invested increases; old persons expect lower returns than young ones; entrepreneurs expect higher returns on investments in their own businesses than on their investments in others’ businesses.
The therapist's experience of love for patients
Creators: name: McCann, Laura
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: From the beginning of psychoanalysis, love has been recognized as a crucial and healing part of the therapeutic relationship. The literature, which has focused more on the experience of the patient than that of the therapist, suggests that while therapists do feel love for patients, they are uncomfortable with these feelings and reluctant to discuss them in a public forum. This qualitative study explores the experience of love from the therapist’s point of view, bringing the topic more into the open. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight psychodynamically oriented psychotherapists. A modified grounded theory method (Corbin and Strauss, 2014; McCracken, 1988) was used to analyze the data. The following themes were identified: Love for patients can be parental and/or erotic; is characterized by warmth, care, and stretching the frame; is deepened by having survived struggle and even hatred together as well as by the passage of time; is characterized by careful listening and the dedication that goes with it; and is at times akin to spiritual love. Findings support, challenge, and expand on different aspects of previous discussions in the literature. Consistent with the literature, most participants reported experiencing a range of loving feelings for patients. In contrast to the literature, participants reported feeling comfortable both experiencing and discussing these feelings. Expanding on the literature, participants reported that the greatest influence on their attitudes towards love for patients was their own therapy. This study supports the importance of love in promoting healing in psychotherapy and suggests a need for greater awareness of loving feelings in training and supervision.
Simulation of dewatering during construction of a bedrock tunnel, Nepean, Ontario.

Subjects: subject: Hydrology.

description: This thesis presents the results of groundwater flow modeling completed to simulate the effects of construction dewatering during the advance of a bedrock tunnel through an aquifer that serves as the source of water for numerous adjacent domestic water wells. The modeling was retrospective and consequently a large amount of data collected during the course of the tunnel project was available for the purpose of model calibration. Actual drawdown levels due to tunnel dewatering resulted in a significant number of well interference problems. The model was constructed through the application of standard groundwater flow modeling techniques using the United States Geological Survey's modular groundwater flow modeling program (MODFLOW), and was designed to provide a reasonable representation of the groundwater flow system within which the tunnel was constructed. The model simulated the tunnel as a drain which advances with time through the use of successive stress periods. An evaluation of grouting efforts that were undertaken to reduce the rate of groundwater inflow to the tunnel was completed. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: An International Study Tour to Asia has been successfully operating for a number of years, and anecdotal information from both the students and from the staff accompanying the tour is that it has been highly successful in exposing students to international business and different cultures, albeit at the cost of high levels of stress to some students. Many of our students have no prior experience of other cultures or of international travel, and while our student demographic is diverse with respect to age (many of our students are mature age and parents), many experienced severe culture shock and unexpectedly high levels of homesickness. During 2008, a research project was initiated, where past students were interviewed to ascertain their perspectives of the impact on them from participating in the study tour---both professionally and personally. This paper reports on the outcomes from interviews with the 2007-8 students.
Personality and working memory theories of substance use disorders

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Continued high relapse rates following SUDs treatment urges examination of aspects of SUDs which are currently undertreated. There are currently two theories on the development and maintenance of SUDs which offer valuable insight but are underutilized in informing treatment. One theory comes from personality science and views SUDs as hyperactivity of the behavioral activation system (BAS) combined with hypoactivity in the behavioral inhibition system (BIS). The second theory derives from the cognitive branch of psychology and states that low working memory capacity (WMC) is a primary contributor to the development of SUDs. The present paper demonstrates how these two theories intersect to form one unified theory for the conceptualization and treatment of SUDs. The present paper demonstrates that both high-BAS/low-BIS and WMC result in the same behavioral pattern which is observed in individuals with SUDs: impulsivity, the overvaluation of rewards, and the undervaluation of punishment. To improve treatment outcomes for SUDs, future developments in treatment need to target these behaviors.

description: The Restoration Era, 1660-1688, has long borne a reputation as an exceptionally debauched period of English history. That reputation is however a caricature, amplified from a handful of recognizable features. That rhetoric of debauchery originates in the Restoration’s own discourse, constructed as a language for opposing the rising French-style absolutism of the late Stuart kings, Charles II and James II. When Charles II was restored in 1660, enthusiastic panegyrists returned to the official aesthetics of his father Charles I, who had formulated power as abundance through pastoral, mythological, and utopian art. Oppositional satirists in the Restoration subverted that language of cornucopian abundance to represent Charles II and his court as instead excessive, diseased, and predatory. After the Glorious Revolution of 1688-9, Williamite satirists and secret historians continued to wield these themes against the exiled Jacobites. Gradually, the political facets of Stuart excess dulled, but the caricature of the debauched Restoration survived in eighteenth-century state poem collections and historiography. The authors most emphasized in this study are John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, and Andrew Marvell. Works by John Milton, John Dryden, Edmund Waller, King Charles I, and Gilbert Burnet also receive sustained attention.

description: Meeting the heath care needs of patients is becoming more complex as individuals are living longer and often with multiple chronic health conditions. In Canada, the majority of patients will die in hospitals (Statistics Canada, 2009), many on medical units. Studies of hospital care have shown that end-of-life care (EOLC) could be improved. Qualitative nursing research studies on EOLC in hospital medical units have been few. More needs to be known about nurses’ experience of providing EOLC within the medical unit environment. The purpose of this study was to seek to understand the lived experience of nurses on a medical unit providing EOLC to patients. Interpretive phenomenology using van Manen’s (1990) approach guided the methodology and analysis of the findings. Face to face interviews with 10 nurses on two hospital medical units were audio-recorded, transcribed and analyzed. The underlying essence of these nurses’ experience was that of “battling a tangled web”. Battling a tangled web represented the nurses’ struggles in attempting to provide EOLC in an environment which was not always conducive to it. Seven themes were generated from the analysis of the data: caring in complexity, caught in a tangled web, bearing witness to suffering, weaving a way to get there: struggling through the process, creating comfort for the patient, working through the dying process with the family, and finding a way through the web. These findings add to our growing knowledge of nurses’ roles and actions as part of EOLC. It also highlights nurses’ perceived facilitators and barriers to EOLC within the medical environment.

Exploring music instructors' perceptions of the value of music appreciation at new jersey community colleges

description: Courses in music appreciation have long served a dual role towards the musical and humanistic education of non-majors at two-year colleges across the United States. Instruction in music appreciation has primarily been associated with accomplishing musical ends such as developing students’ perceptive listening skills and introducing them to the Western classical music tradition. However, as many courses in music appreciation are designed to fulfill a humanities requirement in a student’s general education program, it is important to consider the ways in which instruction in music appreciation also satisfies humanistic learning. This qualitative phenomenological study sought to describe the lived experiences of music instructors at New Jersey community colleges in order to determine how they perceive their class as being musically and humanistically valuable to their students. Over the course of hour-long interviews, ten participants from nine New Jersey community college reaffirmed findings from previous studies that instruction in music appreciation is perceived as valuable for students because it introduces them to Western classical music, develops their musical vocabularies, and strengthens their active music listening skills. The participants claimed that music appreciation is an important humanities elective as they believe it broadens students’ cultural and musical world views, expands students’ understanding of what it means to be human, introduces students to a variety of historical time periods, and supports the students’ learning in non-music subject areas (i.e. geography, history, etc.). However, the participants disagreed about the perceived value and appropriateness of discussing sensitive socio-cultural topics in music appreciation courses. Furthermore, given the varied missions and diverse student populations of community colleges, this study will discuss its findings alongside recommendations in the literature that instruction in music appreciation ought to be more culturally inclusive and generally considerate of the lives of 21st century students. Lastly, this study will offer implications for music appreciation stakeholders including practitioners, administrators, researchers, future students, policy makers and textbook companies and present recommendations for future research based on its findings.

description: Over the past decades, thousands of different per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been produced and applied in various industrial processes and consumer products. Their structural diversity has reached a level that cannot be covered by classical target screening methods for individual compounds. Large-scale contaminations of soil, however, require the need to adapt new analytical methods that can describe a contamination more comprehensively. While sum parameters such as the total oxidisable precursor (TOP) assay have been developed in the past years, they are not yet applied in the regulatory context of PFASs. In this commentary, we provide an overview on different approaches of the TOP assay as well as its benefits and disadvantages to other sum parameters for PFASs in soil samples. Furthermore, we elaborate its opportunities and its challenges that need to be tackled to implement the TOP assay as a regulatory tool. With several different approaches of the TOP assay being available, a sound and standardised method needs to be agreed upon and more research is necessary to better describe the method. Although the complexity of PFAS contaminations in soil cannot be fully covered by any analytical method alone, the TOP assay can provide valuable data to detect and characterise soil contamination as an inventory for subsequent remediation measures. Therefore, the TOP assay should be implemented as a useful tool both in research and in the regulatory context of PFASs. © The Author(s) 2022.

description: In this brief, the calculation of the signal behavior and the achievable signal-to-quantization-noise ratio of continuous-time (CT) incremental sigma-delta (I-SD) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is described. The presented method allows for the analysis of I-SD ADCs in frequency domain, including the specific non-idealities of the CT modulator. In the state-of-the-art, it is described that the omission of the preceding sample-and-hold for the I-SD ADC alters the transfer characteristic compared to a Nyquist-rate converter. So far, for CT I-SD ADCs this behavior is only investigated via simulations. In this brief, the model of a discrete-time I-SD ADC is generalized and adapted for the CT case. This allows to analytically obtain the signal and noise transfer function of the I-SD ADC in frequency domain in combination with arbitrary reconstruction filters due to the utilization of the lifting method in a fast and accurate way.
An appraisal of the role of corticotropin-releasing hormone at the amygdala in the mediation of the stress response: Application of in vivo microdialysis in the assessment of neuropeptide release.
Creators: name: Michaud, David S.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Biology, Neuroscience.

description: Accumulating research suggest that an organism's response to psychological stressors includes an element of cognitive processing that is partially mediated through a change in the neurochemical milieu at the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA). In this respect, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) at the CeA may integrate the autonomic and behavioral effector systems of the stress response. Likewise, there is mounting evidence that bombesin-like peptides (BN-LPs) may act independently of, or through CRHergic systems to influence the stress response. Unfortunately, much of our knowledge regarding the precise role of CRH and BN-LPs has been disadvantaged by technical limitations that do not afford the direct assessment of neuropeptide release/utilization. The initial experiments presented in this thesis demonstrate the feasibility of using a novel in vivo microdialysis approach combined with a highly sensitive radioimmunoassay to assess the release of CRH and BN-LPs in freely behaving animals. This research demonstrates that CRH and BN-LPs are released at the CeA in response to both aversive and appetitive stimuli, signifying that these peptides represent two of the neurochemical signals involved in assigning emotional salience to stimuli, regardless of its valence. These findings challenge the widely held view that CRH at the CeA orchestrates the behavioral changes associated with stressor exposure. Based on the context and time-course of peptide release, it is suggested that CRH at the CeA might serve to maintain vigilance, direct attention, sub-serve memory formation, or represent a mechanism through which brain systems are sensitized to subsequent stressor exposure.

description: The desire for light weight materials, particularly in the automotive field, is fuelling greater magnesium production. The Pidgeon Process is currently the most widely used process for the production of magnesium. This batch process involves reduction of dolomite by ferro-silicon, carried out at temperatures between 1100 to1200 degrees Celsius under vacuum in a retort, producing magnesium vapour which is then cooled and collected as a condensate. The Magnetherm process is also a vacuum batch process based on similar chemistry but operates at higher temperatures with magnesia dissolved in a slag. Various operational issues relating to the batch and vacuum nature of the process have limited its development. The development of magnesium production in atmospheric pressure is currently underway by Mintek. Higher temperatures will improve the kinetics of the silicothermic reduction and increase the productivity, but will also promote greater impurities into the vapour.

New innovations in rhodium catalyzed transformation of alpha-functionalized alkynes utilizing carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
Creators: name: Van Den Hoven, Bernard G.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: Identifying the important roles that functional groups play when substituted alkynes are placed under hydroformylation conditions (reactions incorporating carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas with catalytic amounts of a rhodium complex) is a valuable tool for organic synthesis. Novel and unexpected chemistry have resulted from establishing the primary and secondary roles of certain functional groups. The primary role is the ability to direct a rhodium complex to add to a triple bond, and the secondary role involves directing the type of chemistry that will take place after the addition. The following examples demonstrate this dual relationship resulting in the preparation of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes, N-heterocyclec enols, and important ring systems with potential biological activity. The selected 5-membered heterocycles generated are important materials in treating inflammatory diseases, cancer and heart disease, as well as allowing for the inhibition of HIV protease. The reaction of aliphatic 1-en-3-ynes with synthesis gas in the presence of the zwitterionic rhodium complex, (eta6-C6H 5BPh3)-Rh+(1,5-COD) and triphenyl phosphite afford formyl-dienes in high regioselectivity, and in 50 to 70% isolated yields. As well, the hydroformylation of 2-acetylenic thiophenes afford, as the major product, the alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde with the aldehyde and thiophene attached to the same olefin carbon atom. Excellent regioselectivities of 64 to 100% and additive yields of 65 to 97% were obtained when the acetylenic unit is a propargyl ether or ester, phenylacetylene, or an enyne. alpha-Keto alkynes react with CO/H2 in the presence of catalytic quantities of the zwitterionic rhodium complex and triphenyl phosphite to form either the 2-, 2(3H)- or 2(5H)-furanones in 61--93% yields. In addition, the tandem cyclohydrocarbonylative/CO insertion of alpha-imino alkynes afford aldehyde substituted pyrrolinones in 67 to 82% yields. Hydrocarbonylative enolation of 2-acetylenic thiazoles in the presence of CO, H2 and catalytic quantities of the zwitterionic rhodium complex and triphenyl phosphite afford (Z)-2-thiazol-2-ylalk-1en-1ols in 61 to 90% yields. The extension of the hydrocarbonylative enolation to 2-acetylenic benzoxazoles give (Z)-2-benzoxazol-2-ylalk-1-en-1-ols in 37 to 87% yields.

description: Background: Family Medicine is a novel discipline in many countries, where the motivation for training and value added to communities is not well-described. Our purpose was to understand the reason behind the choice of Family Medicine as a profession, the impact of Family Medicine on communities, and Family Medicine’s characterizing qualities, as perceived by family doctors around the world. Methods: One-question video interviews were conducted using an appreciative inquiry approach, with volunteer participants at the 2016 World Organization of Family Doctors conference in Rio de Janeiro. Qualitative data analysis applied the thematic, framework method. Results: 135 family doctors from 55 countries participated in this study. Three overarching themes emerged: 1) key attributes of Family Medicine, 2) core Family Medicine values and 3) shared traits of family doctors. Family Medicine attributes and values were the key expressed motivators to join Family Medicine as a profession and were also among expressed factors that contributed to the impact of Family Medicine globally. Major sub-themes included the principles of comprehensive care, holistic care, continuity of care, patient centeredness, and the patient-provider relationship. Participants emphasized the importance of universal care, human rights, social justice and health equity. Conclusion: Family doctors around the world shared stories about their profession, presenting a heterogeneous picture of global Family Medicine unified by its attributes and values. These stories may inspire and serve as positive examples for Family Medicine programs, prospective students, advocates and other stakeholders.

description: We present the results of a radio variability study of the gravitational lens PMN J1838-3427. Our motivation was to determine the Hubble constant by measuring the time delay between variations of the two quasar images. We monitored the system for 4 months (approximately 5 times longer than the expected delay) using the Australia Telescope Compact Array at 9 GHz. Although both images were variable on a timescale of a few days, no correlated intrinsic variability could be identified, and therefore no time delay could be measured. Notably, the fractional variation of the fainter image (8%) was greater than that of the brighter image (4%), whereas lensed images of a point source would have the same fractional variation. This effect can be explained, at least in part, as the refractive scintillation of both images due to the turbulent interstellar medium of the Galaxy.
Trends in choral repertoire performed at American Choral Directors Association Eastern Division conferences by selected high school mixed choirs from 1978 through 2016

description: The cornerstone of all choral music ensembles is the content that the choir is performing: the repertoire. The music that is selected by the choir director is of the utmost importance and directly effects the musical success of the students. High school choir directors searching for outstanding musical material, as the vehicle for educating their choirs, need resources that identify repertoire of choirs of excellence and a thorough analysis of said literature.The American Choral Directors Association Eastern Division Conferences provide a platform where selected high school choirs perform repertoire in concert that is considered a model of excellence. Missing from the related body of choral literature studies is a study that specifically examines the repertoire of high school mixed choirs of excellence, such as choirs chosen to perform at ACDA conferences. The purpose of this study was to examine trends in choral repertoire performed by selected high school mixed choirs at the ACDA Eastern Division Conferences from 1978 to 2016. This study is a content analysis of the trends regarding what was performed across the four decades under investigation.The content analysis findings revealed that the two most frequently selected Style Categories across the four decades were Late Contemporary and Medieval/Renaissance. The Accompaniment Status used most often was A Cappella. The most frequent language performed was English. Across 40 years, there were upward trends in the use of Late Contemporary, World Music, Spirituals/Gospel, Folk Songs/Hymns, and Jazz/Pop/Show, as well as an increase in the number of languages in the repertoire that was performed. While only 10.80% of the selections programmed were performed within three years of publication, there was a trend upward in utilizing recently composed/published music. The data suggests a continued interest in some traditions of past choral repertoire while also indicating an increasing, albeit limited, interest in diverse choral repertoire from around the world. In the process of repertoire selection, choral educators need to reconcile the idea of honoring the heritage of past traditions while also incorporating new practices that embrace contemporary composition in a globally connected diverse twenty- first century. The findings in this study can serve as a resource for choral educators in the vital and ongoing task of repertoire selection that continually occurs in an ever-changing and evolving rich choral heritage.

description: Research in expert performance has investigated the acquisition of expertise in various domains, the characteristics, skills, and knowledge of experts that distinguish them from novices, and the highly replicable skills of exceptional performers. Current research continues these lines of inquiry in a wider variety of domains. Researchers are also investigating the generalizable traits of experts across domains to determine if there are common mechanisms that mediate the phenomenon of expertise, and they are exploring how experts organize and utilize their skills and knowledge. Research in musical expertise indicates that practice is essential in the achievement of expertise, but relatively few studies have investigated the practice procedures of expert musicians. Using semi-structured interviews, this descriptive case study examined the practices, procedures, techniques, and habits of eight expert professional French horn players from six major American symphony orchestras, three in the Northeast and three in the Midwest. Results indicate that the maintenance and advancement of expertise for these eight horn players is highly intentional, and is actively pursued each day. The findings also confirm the recommendations of leading horn pedagogues for the practicing of specific areas of horn technique.

description: Soil data are required for purposes of environmental protection and for answering questions related to climate change, climate impact, and adaptation. Information on the soil status and its long-term changes are required for modeling local and regional processes. In Germany, soil data are collected and made available by various public authorities and academic institutions. The brochure "Soil data in Germany" is a clear compilation of information on measurement and survey activities and on maps with nationwide coverage. It is aimed at making these activities known to users in science and administration and at providing access to measurement and survey data. Quelle: Forschungsbericht
description: Wer erhebt und misst welche Parameter in den Böden? Wo liegen die Messstandorte und wofür werden die Messdaten verwendet? Diese häufig gestellten Fragen waren Anlass für das Umweltbundesamt, die Broschüre Bodendaten in Deutschland in der nunmehr 3. Auflage zu veröffentlichen. Zwanzig Steckbriefe vermitteln ein vielfältiges Bild über die wichtigsten Mess- und Erhebungsaktivitäten für Böden.Im Vergleich wird deutlich, dass sich die einzelnen Aktivitäten sowohl im Anwendungszweck, in der Anzahl der Standorte und deren Verteilung als auch in der Untersuchungshäufigkeit und in der Untersuchungs- und Probenahmemethodik unterscheiden. Allen gemeinsam sind jedoch der bundesweite und dauerhaft angelegte Betrachtungsansatz und die Fokussierung auf das Medium Boden.

Global values and environmental governance: policies for sustainable urban development within the New York City-region
Creators: name: Ottomanelli, John
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Global environmental governance consists of a series of responses and manifestations of individuals, groups, and networks that attempt to influence the development processes of the dominant regime. Through the identification of values and the creation of norms, sub-state actors and non-state actors are able to define a world-wide dialogue that results in the creation and implementation of policies that seek to halt and to reverse the impacts of climate change. While the concern over the climate crisis is global in nature, the policy responses are increasingly local. This paper analyzes how local policies reflect global norms to address an international problem. Looking to theories of collective behavior and political economy, I analyze how a cosmopolitan citizenry responds to the problem climate change. Selective indicators to measure the policies by local authorities in the New York metropolitan area reveal that political actors at different of leadership levels (local and global) and of different leadership types (governmental authorities and civil society) are responding to the mounting demands by democratic citizens to devise and to implement comprehensive policies for sustainable urban development.

description: Extreme waves represent a serious threat for marine structures and operations. Numerical and theoretical work has demonstrated that the modulational instability plays a relevant role in the formation of extreme waves. However, strong deviations from Gaussian statistics can only be expected if waves are rather long crested i.e. the spectral energy is concentrated on a narrow range of directions. For more realistic short crested seas (i.e. broad directional distributions), the effect of modulational instability becomes less prominent and, as a result, the occurrence of extreme waves does not exceed predictions from second-order theory. This transition between strongly to weakly non-Gaussian behavior is determined by a balance between nonlinearity (which promotes non-Gaussian behavior) and directionality (which suppresses non-Gaussian behavior). Thus, if there are circumstances when the nonlinearity is locally enhanced, we can expect that non-Gaussian behavior would persist also at broader directional spreads. In this respect, when waves propagates against an ambient current, wave steepness, and hence nonlinearity, increases as a consequence of the shortening of the wavelength, making nonlinear processes, such as the modulational instability mechanism, more likely. A number of laboratory experiments have been carried out to verify the behavior of regular and irregular waves when opposing a strong current. Most experimental results until now have been obtained in wave flumes, where only one-dimensional propagation can be addressed. For the present study, we have accessed the directional wave basin facility at Marintek in order to address the more general two dimensional problem, where a multi directional wave field propagates obliquely over a uniform current in partial opposition. The goal of the experiment was to investigate experimentally the role of increasing wave steepness due to wave-current interaction on the modulational instability mechanism and this for a wide range of wave directional spreadings. The results confirm that the current influences the nonlinear dynamics of the wave field and hence facilitates the formation of large amplitude waves. The effect of the wave-current interaction on the probability of occurrence of extreme wave has consequently been investigated.
