description: We present chalcogenide glass As2Se3 capillaries as efficient waveguides in the mid-IR and THz spectral ranges. The capillaries are fabricated using a double crucible glass drawing technique. The wall thickness of the glass capillary is properly designed and controlled during drawing, and we are able to produce capillaries with different wall thickness, starting from 12 \mum and up to 130 \mum. Such capillaries show low loss properties in the whole target wavelength region. In the mid-IR range guidance is governed by Fresnel reflection and antiguidance mechanisms (ARROWs), while in the THz spectral range thin walls capillaries guide via total internal reflection.
A Pilot Trial of Light Therapy on Fatigue, Mood, Sleep Quality, and Quality of Life in Individuals with Post-Treatment Cancer-Related Fatigue

subject: cancer-related fatigue

description: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a common and distressing symptom reported by individuals with cancer, with 33% of patients continuing to experience fatigue for months or years following treatment. Despite its prevalence, CRF remains relatively undertreated and poorly understood. Light therapy is an effective treatment for a variety of fatigue disorders. This study evaluated the impact of a one-month light therapy treatment on fatigue, mood, sleep quality, and quality of life (QOL) in post-treatment cancer survivors with CRF. Eight participants were randomized to either bright white light (BWL) or dim red light (DRL) and completed baseline and post-treatment measures. Participants in both the BWL and DRL treatments groups showed reductions in fatigue, and improvements in sleep quality and QOL. Given the small sample size and the time of year the study was conducted, the results should be interpreted with caution.
A New Hybrid Estimation Method for the Generalized Exponential Distribution

subject: EDF statistics

description: The generalized exponential distribution (GED) is a popular distribution for analyzing lifetime data and has been introduced and studied quite extensively. It can be used as an alternative to gamma or Weibull distribution in many situations. As one of the most important research areas of GED, the estimation of the parameters has been discussed by many authors. Among the existing methods, the maximum likelihood method and Bayesian method are the methods that many authors recommend to use since they can provide balanced and good performances for different sample sizes and parameter values. In order to improve the estimation in terms of bias and mean squared error (MSE), and to simplify the computation for the Bayesian method, in this thesis, we introduce a new hybrid estimation method for the GED, which is based on the idea of minimizing a goodness-of- fit measure and incorporating useful maximum likelihood information. Through simulation, we compare the new hybrid method with the MLE method and the Bayesian methods as well as other existing methods, and show that this new hybrid method can not only reduce the estimation bias but also improve the MSE especially for the small sample case.

description: Kinetic models for vehicular traffic are reviewed and considered from the point of view of deriving macroscopic equations. A derivation of the associated macroscopic traffic flow equations leads to different types of equations: in certain situations modified Aw-Rascle equations are obtained. On the other hand, for several choices of kinetic parameters new Hamilton-Jacobi type traffic equations are found. Associated microscopic models are discussed and numerical experiments are presented discussing several situations for highway traffic and comparing the different models.

The Role of LbpB in Iron Acquisition and Cellular Defense in Neisseria meningitidis

subject: Lactoferrin

description: Lactoferrin binding protein B (LbpB) is a bi-lobed outer membrane-bound lipoprotein that comprises part of the lactoferrin (Lf) receptor complex in many Gram-negative pathogens. Recent studies have demonstrated that the LbpB protein expressed by Neisseria meningitidis - a causative agent and major contributor to bacterial meningitis - plays a role in protecting the bacteria from cationic antimicrobial peptides due to large regions rich in anionic residues in the C-terminal lobe. Relative to its homologue, transferrin-binding protein (TbpB), there is little evidence for its role in iron acquisition and relatively little structural and biophysical information on its interaction with Lf. Nevertheless, there have been several published structural models on the LbpB-Lf interaction that are incompatible. In this study I will present comparative experimental data regarding the LbpB-Lf interaction and TbpB-Tf interaction. Using biophysical data to determine tertiary structure information, I have constructed a new model of LbpB that forms the basis for a new LbpB:Lf interaction. Our data suggests a 1:1 complex of LbpB:hLf is consistent with an LbpB-N/hLf-C binding mode, consistent with a role in iron acquisition. A 2:1 complex of LbpB:hLf:LbpB contains both an LbpB-N/hLf-C interaction as well as an LbpB-C/hLf-N interaction directly with the anti-microbial peptide lactoferricin. We thus show a novel way in which the LbpB from N. meningitidis may sequester anti-microbial peptides, or hinder proteolytic derivation of lactoferricin from lactoferrin by forming large cross-linked complexes of lactoferrin.

description: My thesis examines the resurgence of colonial ideology in contemporary England through an examination of two of Helen Oyeyemi’s novels, White is for Witching and The Icarus Girl. Employing the framework of Sara Ahmed’s killjoy and Paul Gilroy’s Postcolonial Melancholia, I argue that Oyeyemi crafts unhappy narratives in order to interrupt the amnesia surrounding England’s reliance on colonial ideology. Although gothic tropes and magic realism underpin Oyeyemi’s novels, I assert that her narratives reflect the lived-experience of black British and hybrid subjects by defamiliarizing the world in order to unveil colonial ideology. In this way, Oyeyemi radically kills the normative joy of English nationalism by highlighting the suffering of those who are deemed racially and culturally other. Oyeyemi disavows celebrations of multiculturalism and instead renders racism visible through voicing the violence and hatred that circulates in contemporary British society.

Essays on Entrepreneurial Challenges in the Global Economy

subject: international new venture (INV)
subject: born global

subject: subsidiary entrepreneurship
subject: Kauffman Firm Survey

description: This dissertation includes four studies regarding early internationalization of new ventures (INVs) and entrepreneurial challenges faced by multinational enterprises (MNEs). The first study examines the antecedents of early internationalization in new ventures. Based on empirical evidence from the Kauffman Firm Survey data, I indicate that individual characteristics of the owners –education level, immigration status, and entrepreneurial capabilities- have a significant association with pursuing early internationalization strategy in new ventures. This finding reinforces the conceptual argument of the chapter that internalization theory can be applied to predict INV creation and behavior. The second study investigates the effects of R&D and internationalization activities on the performance of new ventures. Empirical results based on the aforementioned Kauffman database indicate that engagement in both R&D and internationalization activities is negatively associated with performance of new ventures. Moreover, R&D expenditure beyond a certain level is associated with lower performance; i.e. there is an inverse U shaped relationship between R&D and performance. The third study addresses the lack of sufficient entrepreneurship in multinational enterprises that seek to improve their ability to achieve national responsiveness. The main reason for this deficiency appears to be the transfer of proven routines from the home country, even when it is clear from the outset that these routines will simply not work, and will require much more than a quasi-mechanistic ‘adaptation’ to the new environment. The study emphasises that entrepreneurial alteration of the core business model through novel resource re-combinations is essential to the success of MNE foreign market entry. The fourth study follows-up with proposing a framework for business model alteration that can help MNEs overcome their entrepreneurial deficits when entering foreign markets. The last two studies also include illustrative case examples of firms that failed to sufficiently alter their business models when expanding to international markets.

description: Various aspects of the anelastic attenuation of seismic data are investigated in this thesis, including modeling, measurement, and correction using Gabor deconvolution. For the modeling of seismic attenuation, a nonstationary convolution model, the reflectivity method, and a finite-difference technique for viscoelastic seismic modeling are described. For the implementation of the nonstationary convolution model, two approaches are proposed to incorporate the impulse response representing attenuation process accurately. The reflectivity method is implemented for stratified anelastic media, and the implementation is validated in terms of producing correct events and amplitudes, accurate incorporation of Q attenuation, and the flexibility to give total and partial response of the media. For the finite-difference method of viscoelastic seismic modeling, results obtained from commercial software are evaluated. For the estimation of seismic attenuation, three new methods are presented, including complex spectral-ratio method, interpretive spectral-ratio method, and match-filter method. The proposed methods have connections with the classic spectral-ratio method, the spectrum-modeling method and the match-technique method which are also described. The performances of these methods are evaluated in terms of robustness to noise and capacity of estimating Q from reflection data, using synthetic VSP data, real VSP data and synthetic 1D reflection data. The effects of spectral smoothing, frequency band, and stationary deconvolution on Q estimation are investigated. For the complex spectral ratio-method, the issue of inaccurate reference frequency is addressed and three approaches are proposed to deal with real VSP data. In addition, an approach to identify the localized low Q zone of reflection data is proposed and evaluated using synthetic 2D data and field 2D data. Among all the Q-estimation methods evaluated in this thesis, the match-filter method is significantly superior to other methods in terms of accuracy and robustness to noise when applied to both VSP data and reflection data. As a nonstationary processing approach to compensate for seismic attenuation, Gabor deconvolution is investigated, and a practical way to correct the white-reflectivity assumption is presented. A definition of nonstationary phase rotation is proposed for the removal of phase rotation. The temporal color and spectral color of reflectivity are defined, and their influence on reflectivity estimation is analyzed in detail for Gabor deconvolution. The color correction method is applied to a field 2D line to restore the high frequency components and obtain a better well-tie.

Intercellular Coupling Abnormalities in the Heart: Quantification from Surface Measurements and Impact on Arrhythmia Vulnerability
Creators: name: Ghazanfari, Amin
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2016
Subjects: Engineering--Biomedical

description: Cardiac conduction velocity is one of the most important electrophysiological characteristics of the heart. Several cardiac dysfunctions and arrhythmia are caused by slowed conduction velocity. Measurement of cardiac conduction velocity and other physiological characteristics of the heart such as anisotropy ratio are challenged by complex cardiac tissue structure and inaccurate measurement techniques. Diabetes mellitus is an example of a condition that can alter conduction velocity by reducing the electrical coupling between cardiac cells. Diabetes is also known to increase the risk of arrhythmia by increasing the action potential duration of cardiac myocytes. This thesis discusses a measurement method based on fitting ellipses to activation isochrones. Our results show that the intramural fiber rotation caused error in conventional measurement methods used to estimate fiber orientation and anisotropy ratio specially in thinner tissues. These errors are increased by optical mapping measurements specifically in thicker tissues. We developed a mathematical model for the diabetic rabbit ventricular action potential and also used an existing model of the diabetic rat ventricular action potential. We demonstrated the window of vulnerability to reentrant arrhythmia for healthy and diabetic models of both rabbit and rat. Connexin lateralization was modelled in the diabetic models by reducing the gap junction conductivity in the lateral direction. Results demonstrated that window of vulnerability in diabetic rat is smaller than in healthy rat. On the contrary, diabetic rabbit was more vulnerable to reentry than healthy rabbit. The ATP-dependent potassium channel was added to the models and the results demonstrated that diabetic models are more vulnerable to reentry when ischemia occurs and Ikatp channels open consequently.

description: How might we better understand the Canadian regime? This inquiry provides a review of a moment in Canadian political history and its statesmen that stands as an example of the practice that shaped Canadian nationhood. Sir John A. Macdonald and Louis Riel were the only “Fathers of Confederation” to meet in pitched battle. Their conflicts between 1869 and 1885 shaped two separate and core elements of the Canadian regime: English-French and East-West tensions. Through a lens of statesmanship, this inquiry analyzes the thoughts and actions of these two men. Macdonald, eastern and English, may be understood as a transactional statesman. In brief, this means he practiced a politics of negotiation, compromise, and dedication to classical liberal principles. Riel, western and French, can be read as a transformational statesman. This is a politics of profound idealism, of discomfort with this world, and of an identification of oneself with one’s cause. The inquiry examines these Fathers, their interactions, and the outcomes of their clash of statesmanship. It shows that their statesmanship represents a fresh way for us to might understand the English-French and East-West dynamics in Canada. Further, it demonstrates that ideas and statesmanship are critical to understanding the Canadian regime.

Distribution. Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania.—Transpalearctic: Europe, North Africa, Turkey, Southwest Russia, Siberia (Linsenmaier 1959, 1997, Kimsey & Bohart 1991).
Remarks. The species was reported from Sweden and Finland by Trautmann (1927: 74), Benno (1950: 33) and Haupt (1957: 54, as H. intermedium). Additionally, Balthasar (1954: 126) reported the species from Finland and Trautmann (1930: 496) from Scandinavia. All these records are doubtful as we have not seen any Scandinavian specimens or Finnish specimens collected before the late 1950s in collections. As far as we know, the first record of H. rutilans in Finland was made in 1959 near the southeastern border, after which the species has been expanding its distribution towards the west, following its host Philanthus triangulum.

description: Experiments and numerical simulations reveal that in the forward cascade regime, the energy spectrum of two-dimensional turbulence with Ekman friction deviates from Kraichnan's prediction of $k^{-3}$ power spectrum. In this letter we explain this observation using an analytic model based on variable enstrophy flux arising due to Ekman friction. We derive an expression for the enstrophy flux which exhibits a logarithmic dependence in the inertial range for the Ekman-friction dominated flows. The energy spectrum obtained using this enstrophy flux shows a power law scaling for large Reynolds number and small Ekman friction, but has an exponential behaviour for large Ekman friction and relatively small Reynolds number.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether low cerebral blood flow (CBF) is associated with subsequent white matter hyperintensity (WMH) development in minor stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients. New WMH at 18 months were identified by comparing follow-up with baseline FLAIR, and regions of interest (ROI) were placed in normal appearing and hyperintense white matter. Co-registered CBF maps were used to quantify relative CBF. Forty patients were evaluated, where mean age was 62+/-12 years, 78% male and 9% diabetic. A mixed effects logistic regression accounting for “within patient” clustering, showed that as CBF increases by 1mL/100g/min, the odds of having a new WMH decrease by 0.61. Results suggest that regions of white matter that develop WMH at 18 months have low baseline CBF. Future studies aiming to improve cerebral perfusion in normal appearing white matter might provide a target for arresting the development of WMH.

description: Osteoporosis is a "silent epidemic" of weakening bones, often leading to fracture. To predict fracture, the finite element method based on micro-computed tomography can be used, modelling bone behaviour under load. Elasto-plastic finite element modelling is able to directly calculate bone strength, but until recently it has been computationally expensive. Advancements in GPU technology have exponentially increased the computational power available in consumer-grade hardware and enabled the implementation of a custom elasto-plastic finite element solver for large-scale models. Both analytical and mechanical validation of the elasto-plastic solver was performed. Elasto-plastic finite element models based on tomography data were able to predict failure load with a correlation coefficient of 0.81. These new developments in elasto-plastic finite element modelling have enabled the direct estimation of patient-specific yield properties on consumer-grade hardware.

description: This study explored East-Asian counselling psychologists’ experience of psychology in Canada. Participants included 6 counselling psychologists practicing in Alberta, each with between 3 and 21 years of experience. The cultures of origin for the participants included Hong Kong, China, and Korea. Data was gathered using a semi-structured interview, and dialogic-performative narrative analysis was completed. Four categories emerged: cultural values, personal cultural identity formation, culture in relation to practice, and personal information. Several themes and sub-themes also emerged. The findings were the first to highlight advantages offered to counselling psychologists of East-Asian descent resulting from experiential knowledge gained through their upbringing. Cultural identification, experiential knowledge, and bilingual language skills were beneficial in work with clients. These findings indicate a need for further exploration into counselling psychologist’s unique cultural identities in their work within a counselling context, and suggest that greater attention to experiential learning components be implemented at the training level.

description: Pannexin-1 (Panx1) is a large pore ion/metabolite channel that is permeable to various molecules, ions, ATP, signaling lipids, and fluorescent dyes. To date, Panx1 has been implicated in many pathological conditions including ischemia, epilepsy, cancer, and inflammation. Ascribing a physiological function for these channels in the brain remains elusive outside of reported involvement in modulating synaptic plasticity in the form of long-term potentiation and long-term depression. The mechanisms by which Panx1 contributes to synaptic physiology are largely unknown. Its high expression in many brain regions (including the hippocampus), postsynaptic localization, ability to release ATP, and coupling to glutamate- sensitive NMDAR receptors make Panx1 a great candidate for altering neurotransmission. As such, this thesis explores the role of Panx1 in synaptic plasticity and its underlying signaling mechanisms. My overarching hypothesis is that Panx1 function is critical in maintaining homeostatic neural signaling and that interruption of Panx1 function can result in pathological outcomes. Here I show that inhibition of Panx1 alters neurotransmission in the hippocampus at both inhibitory and excitatory synapses due to its actions as a transporter of the endocannabinoid/ endovanilloid, anandamide (AEA). Regulation of synaptic AEA concentrations is critical to homeostatic control of neurotransmitter release since AEA can act both at CB1Rs, to depress neurotransmission, and TRPV1 channels, to enhance glutamate release. I demonstrate that Panx1 can permeate AEA and alter synaptic AEA concentration, which results in interruption of canonical AEA signaling at CB1Rs. In vivo, this change in AEA concentration leads to neuronal hyper-excitability demonstrated as a heightened rate of seizure susceptibility. In conclusion, the research in this thesis provides a novel role of Panx1 as a transporter of AEA, which may have broad implications in several disease states where AEA dysregulation contributes to pathophysiology.

description: Divertor strike point splitting induced by resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) has been observed on MAST for a variety of RMP configurations in a plasma scenario with Ip=750kA where those configurations all have similar resonant components. Complementary measurements have been obtained with divertor Langmuir probes and an infrared camera. Clear splitting consistently appears in this scenario only in the even configuration of the perturbation coils, similarly to the density pump-out. These results present a challenge for models of plasma response to RMPs.

description: With the ubiquity of smartphones and the use of social media, people can share information with a population once reserved to traditional media (e.g. print, television, or radio). This combination has empowered citizens to use social media to share and disseminate information during emergencies, like the 2013 Southern Alberta floods and Bermuda Shorts Day 2014. Social media’s increased use during emergencies presents an interesting challenge for emergency operations centre personnel who need to filter and assess information before deciding if, how, and when to act, often in parallel with handling information from other sources. Though commercial tools exist, they are not designed with emergency management personnel in mind. This thesis presents Piu, a Twitter-based social media tool supporting both emergency planning and emergency response phases of emergency management. Piu was designed, built, and subsequently evaluated through a series interviews with emergency operations, campus security, and crisis communication experts.

The superfluid-insulator transition in the disordered two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model

description: We investigate the superfluid-insulator transition in the disordered two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model through quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The Bose-Hubbard model is studied in the presence of site disorder and the quantum critical point between the Bose-glass and superfluid is determined in both the grand canonical ($μ/U=0.375$ close to $ρ=1$) and canonical ensemble ($ρ=1$ and 0.5). Particular attention is paid to disorder averaging and it is shown that an extremely large number of disorder realizations are needed in order to obtain reliable results. Typically we average over more than $100,000$ disorder realizations. In the grand canonical ensemble we find $Z t_c/U=0.112(1)$ with $μ/U=0.375$, significantly different from previous studies. When compared to the critical point in the absence of disorder ($Z t_c/U=0.2385$), this result confirms previous findings showing that disorder enlarges the superfluid region. At the critical point, in order to estimate universal features, we compute the dynamic conductivity scaling curves.

Contributions to the Biodiversity and Biogeography of the Genus Varestrongylus Bhalerao, 1932 (Nematoda: Protostrongylidae), Lungworms of Ungulates, with Emphasis on a New Nearctic Species

description: Explorations of parasite biodiversity and biogeography are essential for elucidating evolutionary and ecological patterns and processes that shaped the biosphere. Among relevant nematode parasites of ungulates are species within the family Protostrongylidae Leiper, 1926 (Strongylida: Metastrongyloidea), which often cause pulmonary, muscular or neurological diseases in their hosts. The finding of a novel protostrongylid species infecting North American ungulates in 2007 demonstrated that the knowledge of the biodiversity of this group remained incomplete, despite the substantial advances in recent decades. Through my thesis research I focused on developing and understanding the biodiversity, phylogenetic relationships, and biogeography of the genus Varestrongylus Bhalerao, 1932 (Nematoda: Protostrongylidae), lungworms of cervids and caprine bovids. To do this, I first explored the validity of existing species, and have resurrected and redescribed Varestrongylus alces Demidova & Naumitscheva, 1953 of the Eurasian moose from Europe. Secondly, I described Varestrongylus eleguneniensis Verocai, Kutz, Simard & Hoberg, 2014. This new species primarily infects caribou, but also muskoxen and, rarely moose across a vast range in North America. By exploring the relationships among Varestrongylus species, I have developed a phylogenetic hypothesis for the genus and for co-evolution and biogeography of this host-parasite assemblage. Varestrongylus has a complex history, characterized by multiple events of host-switching and geographic expansion. Moreover, through a geographically wide assessment of the distribution of V. eleguneniensis in caribou, muskoxen and moose populations across North America I have established baselines for future studies monitoring the geographic distribution of a lungworm species. This work also provides a foundation for understanding historical and current processes affecting the biogeography of host-parasite assemblages. The present work is an original contribution to the field by adding to the present knowledge on taxonomy and biodiversity of this relevant group of parasites, to the general understanding of the formation of host-parasite assemblages, and the colonization of North America by both parasites and hosts. Ultimately, by understanding the historical and contemporary processes that have lead to current biogeography of V. eleguneniensis, this work can be used for predicting future trends on the distribution, host-associations and biogeography of V. eleguneniensis under a scenario of rapid climate change.

description: We develop a generic method to compute the dynamics induced by quenches in completely connected quantum systems. These models are expected to provide a mean-field description at least of the short time dynamics of finite dimensional system. We apply our method to the Bose-Hubbard model, to a generalized Jaynes-Cummings model, and to the Ising model in a transverse field. We find that the quantum evolution can be mapped onto a classical effective dynamics, which involves only a few intensive observables. For some special parameters of the quench, peculiar dynamical transitions occur. They result from singularities of the classical effective dynamics and are reminiscent of the transition recently found in the fermionic Hubbard model. Finally, we discuss the generality of our results and possible extensions.
