description: Trees occupy a paradoxical place in the genre of Middle English romance. They are central to romance narratives, but their ubiquitous presence is almost completely overlooked by the genre’s protagonists, and has been largely neglected by its readership. This thesis addresses this paradox, as it seeks to account for the neglect of trees both within the narrative world of romance itself, and the broader critical discourses which have grown up around it. Drawing on a range of critical and theoretical disciplines, the thesis analyses both the broad spectrum of meanings which are attached to trees in the genre, and the ways in which trees frame and catalyse the human dramas on which romance narratives primarily focus. Trees are essential to medieval romance, as forest, wood, wilderness, garden, and orchard settings are integral to the genre. These settings form the backdrop for chivalric encounters and expressions of courtly love, as well as for the innumerable emotional dramas and rites of passage on which romance narratives hinge. The trees that make up these spaces tend to be largely invisible, both within romance texts and within most of the scholarship that addresses them. However, trees are present in many forms in medieval literature: individual trees within these settings occasionally come to the foreground, arboreal metaphors occur at key narrative moments, and wooden objects such as weapons, musical instruments, ships, and spindles make up the material world of romance. In this thesis I argue that focussing on the rare instances of arboreal visibility in certain Middle English romances – Le Morte Darthur, Ywain and Gawain, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the Middle English Breton Lays, and Sir Tristrem – provides a fruitful way to explore these texts from a new perspective. Drawing on aspects of ecocriticism, ecofeminism, and studies of materiality, this thesis is situated in fields that encourage this focus on the non-human as a way to understand what it means to be human, and to enable a greater understanding of our place in the world. Using trees as a starting point to consider human relationships with the non-human reveals how human and nonhuman are entangled in various ways that trouble conventional hierarchies of power in these medieval romances. In particular, I explore how trees can define and construct masculine, chivalric identities, and how the feminine often has a different relationship with the arboreal. Focussing on these relationships opens up spaces for alternative discourses of power, in which the feminine and the non-human hold marginal authority. Trees, arboreal metaphors, and wooden objects witness moments of heightened tension and come to participate in the narrative as actants that both protect and threaten human identities, and which have the power to communicate from the shadows of the narrative.

Understanding sleep coaches: Increasing access to evidence-based sleep support for caregivers
Creators: name: Stern, Hillary Gemma
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Sleep coaches (also referred to as sleep consultants or sleep trainers) are an unlicensed provider group that provides advice, education, and support to help improve a child’s sleep. There is a limited empirical understanding of who they are and what they do with no national or international guidelines. This study aimed to conduct a survey of sleep coaches in an effort to understand what interventions sleep coaches recommend, the alignment of these recommendations with the evidence-based recommendations of pediatricians and psychologists certified in sleep medicine, the demographics of current families utilizing sleep coaches, and beliefs regarding a licensure process for families to receive healthcare reimbursement, with the goal of increasing accessibility of sleep support for all caregivers in the U.S., specifically those with lower socioeconomic status and other underserved populations. A Web-based survey was completed by 100 individuals who identified as sleep coaches. Overall, respondents indicated Extinction with Parental Presence/Chair Method/Camping Out as the most commonly recommended sleep intervention, and 92% of respondents reported recommending at least one intervention for which there is limited or no empirical evidence to date. Additionally, sleep coaches indicated that most of their clients are wealthy, white, married heterosexual couples, who live in a suburb or large city. Finally, 77% of respondents reported they “definitely” or “probably” supported a state and/or national licensure and 82% of respondents reported they “definitely” or “probably” supported insurance reimbursement for sleep coaching services. These findings have broader implications about the importance of increasing access to evidence-based sleep support for underserved and marginalized communities given that these services are limited to such a small percentage of the population.
An Experimental Investigation on the Effects of Temperature on Soil-Concrete Interface Systems

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Geothermal energy pile incorporates the structural pile and ground source heat exchanger to generate environmental and economic benefits. While the popularity of geothermal energy pile has been increasing in the recent decades, there is limited understanding of the pile-soil interaction, especially the effect of temperature on the interface shear strength. This is important for accurately predicting the load-carrying capacity of the pile shaft and other thermo-mechanical coupled behaviour. This study investigates the effect of temperature on the pile-soil interface shear strength using a modified shear box, and the effect of confining stress on the thermal conductivity of soils using a modified triaxial cell apparatus. With the modified shear box, tests were conducted at different temperatures (20⁰C, 35⁰C and 50⁰C) including thermal cycles to examine the pile-soil interface shear strength under the effect of heating. Also thermal conductivity tests were performed on four different soils including two from Melbourne, Australia, at different confining stresses (up to 200 kPa) with different initial moisture contents and densities.

 The shear strength of smooth concrete-soil interface was found to increase when the temperature rose from 20 to 35⁰C, but independent of temperature between 35 and 50⁰C. Also, thermal cycles appeared to have no effect on the interface shear strength. Only minor drop in interface shear strength was observed when the number of thermal cycles increased. However it seems that the increase of the number of thermal cycles influenced the soils moisture state leading to dryer soil involved in the soil-concrete interface shearing. In terms of the modified triaxial thermal conductivity test, results showed that the confining stress had slight influence on highly compacted soils. For loosely compacted soils, a considerable increase in thermal conductivity was observed when the confining stress was increased, this was caused by density changes. It was concluded that the thermal conductivity of a soil was predominantly determined by its level of compactness, moisture content and confining stress.

description: We investigate the existence and propagation of solitons in a long-range extension of the quartic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chain of anharmonic oscillators. The coupling in the linear term decays as a power-law with an exponent greater than 1 and less than 3. We obtain an analytic perturbative expression of traveling envelope solitons by introducing a Non Linear Schrodinger (NLS) equation for the slowly varying amplitude of short wavelength modes. Due to the non analytic properties of the dispersion relation, it is crucial to develop the theory using discrete difference operators. Those properties are also the ultimate reason why kink-solitons may exist but are unstable, at variance with the short-range FPU model. We successfully compare these approximate analytic results with numerical simulations.

description: The thesis mainly focuses on the enhancements in microfluidics actuations driven by high frequency acoustic waves and the demonstrations of their potential applications which can be applied in various fields. For example, efficiency gains in micro-particles concentration and micro-mixing driven by acoustic waves are contributing to medical diagnostics and biological studies; and the enhanced atomization (generation of small aerosols from bulk liquid) can be utilized for pulmonary drug delivery (e.g., asthma treatment) as well as spray cooling for microelectronics. Furthermore, the demonstrated acoustically mediated nanofiltration technique is capable to remove harmful nanoparticles from water as part of water purification process.

description: We address the numerical approximation of Mean Field Games with local couplings. For power-like Hamiltonians, we consider both unconstrained and constrained stationary systems with density constraints in order to model hard congestion effects. For finite difference discretizations of the Mean Field Game system, we follow a variational approach. We prove that the aforementioned schemes can be obtained as the optimality system of suitably defined optimization problems. In order to prove the existence of solutions of the scheme with a variational argument, the monotonicity of the coupling term is not used, which allow us to recover general existence results. Next, assuming next that the coupling term is monotone, the variational problem is cast as a convex optimization problem for which we study and compare several proximal type methods. These algorithms have several interesting features, such as global convergence and stability with respect to the viscosity parameter, which can eventually be zero. We assess the performance of the methods via numerical experiments.
Production and Characterization of Biodiesel from Avocado Peel Oil (APO)

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Biodiesel is as alternative energy source and a promising potential that grows rapidly, due to its great contribution to the environment, renewable, non-toxicity, biodegradability, essentially sulfur free and its role as a strategically source of renewable energy in substitution to diesel oil and contributes a minimal amount of net greenhouse gases. In this study, biodiesel production from waste avocado peel oil was investigated in laboratory approach. Experimental results evaluate the major optimum process parameters for basecatalyzed transesterification on biodiesel yield as well as its properties. The most important variables affecting methyl ester yield during the transesterification reaction are the molar ratio of alcohol to oil and the reaction temperature. From this thesis, the optimum operating conditions for the extraction of oil from avocado peel oil. For this, particle size of 2.6 mm, solvent type N-hexane and extraction time of 3-5 hr were considered. A general factorial design was applied to investigate the effect of process variables on oil yield and biodiesel. Maximum oil yield of 40.6% was obtained for particle size of 2.6 mm at extraction time of 5 hr. A 95.2% FAME conversion was also obtained using a methanol/oil ratio of 6:1, 1.21g NaOH, reaction time 67.5min and 60 0 C reaction temperature. The important properties (characterization) of the experimental biodiesel sample of the biodiesel (pH, specific gravity, API specific gravity, density, kinematic viscosity, cloud point, cetane number, iodine value, and high heating value) well-matched the relevant international standards for biodiesel quality, were compared to those of ASTM and EN standards for biodiesel. The comparison shows that the avocado peel oil used as a raw material for biodiesel production as an alternative fuel.

description: We address the question of whether symmetry-protected topological (SPT) order can persist at nonzero temperature, with a focus on understanding the thermal stability of several models studied in the theory of quantum computation. We present three results in this direction. First, we prove that nontrivial SPT order protected by a global on-site symmetry cannot persist at nonzero temperature, demonstrating that several quantum computational structures protected by such on-site symmetries are not thermally stable. Second, we prove that the 3D cluster state model used in the formulation of topological measurement-based quantum computation possesses a nontrivial SPT-ordered thermal phase when protected by a global generalized (1-form) symmetry. The SPT order in this model is detected by long-range localizable entanglement in the thermal state, which compares with related results characterizing SPT order at zero temperature in spin chains using localizable entanglement as an order parameter. Our third result is to demonstrate that the high error tolerance of this 3D cluster state model for quantum computation, even without a protecting symmetry, can be understood as an application of quantum error correction to effectively enforce a 1-form symmetry.

description: Indoor light levels are low in urban housing, disrupting health and wellbeing. Low light intensities are associated with poor light entrainment and decreased daily rhythms’ amplitude, which is associated with an increased risk of metabolic disturbances, cancers, and mood. This problem is exacerbated in older adults who are likely more impacted by mistimed exposure to indoor lights. Importantly, the age-related attenuation of circadian rhythms and reduction in transmission of short-wavelength light may underlie circadian/sleep alterations in older adults. However, studies indicate that improving indoor light conditions can alleviate age-related sleep/circadian disturbances. Here, we aim to assess the real-world impact of indoor light supplementation during daytime on activity-rest rhythms, wellbeing, and personal light exposure of older adults. In three cities (Bologna, Amsterdam, Tartu), 1,500 older adults (500 for each city) will be recruited in this population-based epidemiological design. Out of the 500 participants, 250 will be randomly selected to be exposed to indoor, blue-enriched light for 12 weeks and compared to 250 participants that will not have any indoor light intervention (control). A 2-week baseline will be carried out to assess daily activity patterns, sleep, and light exposure through wrist-worn actigraphy and wearable light sensors. In addition, participants will complete an activity diary in which they are asked when they eat, sleep, and are outdoors. Additionally, we will collect subjective measures of sleep quality, chronotype, and mood. After 12 weeks of light supplementation, the same measures will be re-assessed again for a 2-week period, allowing the quantification of the effects of the 12-week experimental lighting change. The results from this study will generate a scientific evidence base to support effective lighting guidelines aimed at improving citizens’ health and wellbeing.

Lower Limb Biomechanics of Football Players with Hip-Related Pain

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre, Department of Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Prosthetics and Orthotics, School of Allied Health, Human Services, and Sport, College of Science, Health, and Engineering, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

Hip-related pain is common in football players, with persistent pain associated with poor quality of life and restricted participation. Hip-related pain is a movement-related disorder; however, information on how people with hip-related pain move is scarce. A greater understanding of the movement limitations associated with hip-related pain is needed to develop interventions and preventative strategies to improve long-term outcomes. A systematic review established that people with more severe presentations of hip-related pain walk with a lower peak hip extension angle and were unable to squat as deep as asymptomatic controls. The review found no information on people with hip-related pain still participating in sport and physical activities. This thesis aimed to extend our knowledge of the movement limitations in this condition by evaluating the biomechanics of football players with hip-related pain. The lower limb biomechanics of 88 football players (median age: 26 years, 23 women) with hip-related pain and 30 (median age: 27 years, 13 women) asymptomatic players were compared during walking and the single leg drop jump. This thesis demonstrated that: 1)Men and women with hip-related pain move differently. Future studies should consider if the relationship between hip-related pain and biomechanics is sex-dependent.2)The relationship between hip-related pain and biomechanics is modified by sex. Male football players with hip-related pain demonstrated biomechanical impairments at the hip and pelvis in the transverse plane and women demonstrated impairments at the knee.3)Differences observed between football players with and without hip-related pain were few in number, small in magnitude, and rarely at the hip. In conclusion, biomechanical impairments were not common among football players with hip-related pain. It is unknown whether the biomechanical impairments observed affect disease progression or long-term outcomes. Longitudinal evaluations of biomechanics in people with hip-related pain will assist in further contextualising the thesis findings.

description: Hemming is commonly used to join exterior automotive body panels to interior body panels. This procedure requires the sheet to bend 180° without showing cracks or surface cosmetic defects. However, current commercial Al-Mg-Si alloys often fail during this deformation, especially after natural ageing. This study provides insights on how cosmetic failures are formed and could they be prevented by improved alloy design.

description: Sequential data modeling and analysis have become indispensable tools for analyzing sequential data, such as time-series data, because larger amounts of sensed event data have become available. These methods capture the sequential structure of data of interest, such as input-output relations and correlation among datasets. However, because most studies in this area are specialized or limited to their respective applications, rigorous requirement analysis of such models has not been undertaken from a general perspective. Therefore, we particularly examine the structure of sequential data, and extract the necessity of `state duration' and `state interval' of events for efficient and rich representation of sequential data. Specifically addressing the hidden semi-Markov model (HSMM) that represents such state duration inside a model, we attempt to add representational capability of a state interval of events onto HSMM. To this end, we propose two extended models: an interval state hidden semi-Markov model (IS-HSMM) to express the length of a state interval with a special state node designated as "interval state node"; and an interval length probability hidden semi-Markov model (ILP-HSMM) which represents the length of the state interval with a new probabilistic parameter "interval length probability." Exhaustive simulations have revealed superior performance of the proposed models in comparison with HSMM. These proposed models are the first reported extensions of HMM to support state interval representation as well as state duration representation.

description: Las movilizaciones sociales durante el siglo XX en un país como Colombia, han sido a través del tiempo un punto crucial para medir la dinámica poblacional, existiendo diferentes actores que en diversos periodos y contextos, prefiguraron por medio de las luchas sus nociones acerca del espacio en donde vivían, las ideas y ante toda las trasformación que pudieron generar. Una de las mayores movilizaciones de la que se tiene conocimiento, fue la ocurrida durante el año de 1971, en la que los estudiantes convertidos en un sector social independiente, se alzaron en contra de lo que consideraban atropellos a sus intereses y derechos, el “programa mínimo de los estudiantes colombianos” como fuera llamado aquel proceso, se convirtió con los años en un hito de las manifestaciones estudiantiles en el país.

description: Lithium-Sulfur battery; a very promising battery technology to outperform today’s low energy density Lithium-ion battery is hindered by electrode solubility issues which results in short cycle life. In this dissertation, it is demonstrated that rethinking of the assembly protocols and introducing multi-functional components to the battery configuration can bring additional functionalities to the device which solves the inherent drawbacks of the Lithium-Sulfur system in a rather unconventional fashion. These studies showed the potential of carbon-based films in boosting the Energy density and life time of the Lithium-Sulfur battery.

description: Colloidal particles like clay and microalgae are small in size and negatively charged which hindered gravitational settling. Hence, complete separation from supernatants can be challenging. Of the available technologies, coagulation-flocculation provides a rather straightforward method. Although the performance of chemical chemicals is warranted, the associated environmental and health concerns are worrisome. Plant-based natural coagulants are more sustainable alternatives as modified starches and various parts of fruits have been found to yield positive coagulating properties. This research work is dedicated to evaluate the prospect of utilizing fruit wastes and conventional starches as potential sources of natural coagulants/flocculants.
Controlling the Surface Roughness of Hastelloy X Components Manufactured by Selective Laser Melting

description: Poor surface quality presents a major limitation to the widespread use of selective laser melting (SLM) technology. In this study, systematic research has been carried out to study the influences of different processing parameters and scanning strategies on surface roughness of SLMed Hastelloy X alloy. Surface characterisations revealed that melt pool shape and the presence of partially melted particles are vital factors in determining the surface profile and resultant roughness in the final parts. By understanding the surface roughness formation mechanism, optimal surface roughness of manufactured components can be achieved.

description: The past analyses of datasets of social networks have enabled us to make empirical findings of a number of aspects of human society, which are commonly featured as stylized facts of social networks, such as broad distributions of network quantities, existence of communities, assortative mixing, and intensity-topology correlations. Since the understanding of the structure of these complex social networks is far from complete, for deeper insight into human society more comprehensive datasets and modeling of the stylized facts are needed. Although the existing dynamical and static models can generate some stylized facts, here we take an alternative approach by devising a community-based static model with heterogeneous community sizes and larger communities having smaller link density and weight. With these few assumptions we are able to generate realistic social networks that show most stylized facts for a wide range of parameters, as demonstrated numerically and analytically. Since our community-based static model is simple to implement and easily scalable, it can be used as a reference system, benchmark, or testbed for further applications.

description: This model has investigated the potential of using vertical farming (VF) systems to spare land for planting dedicated biomass crops for bioenergy in the UK and Spain (Miscanthus and SRC Willow). Using the DND-C model, spared land has been modelled to understand the potential yields we may see from areas where lettuce crops have previously been cultivated in the field, in both the UK and Spain, for consumption by the UK market. This poster presents the methodological developments of the model, with land use savings of 8536 ha (~0.0005% of current arable land in the UK and Spain) found so far. Further improvements to the model will occur, expanding the scope to absorb more regions, and more food crops to understand the land sparing potential of VF.
