description: Background: Several studies identified low subjective feelings of power in women with anorexia nervosa (AN). However, little is known about implicit power motives and the discrepancy between explicit feelings of power and implicit power motives in AN. Aim: The study investigated the discrepancy between explicit feelings of power and implicit power motives and its relationship to anxiety in patients with AN. Method: Fifty-three outpatients and inpatients with AN and 48 participants without AN were compared regarding subjective feelings of power and anxiety. Explicit power [investigated with the Personal Sense of Power Scale (trait focus) and a visual analog scale (state focus)], implicit power motives [investigated with the Multi- Motive Grid (MMG)] and trait anxiety [measured with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)], were assessed. Results: Explicit feelings of power (state and trait level) were lower in patients with AN compared to non-AN participants. No differences in implicit power motives were found when comparing the groups against each other. However, looking at the groups separately, women with AN had similar levels of implicit fear of losing power and hope for power, whereas woman without AN had significantly lower fear of losing power than hope for power. Focusing on discrepancies between powerful feelings and power motives, results were mixed, depending on the subscale of the MMG. Lastly, discrepancies between implicit power motives and explicit feelings of power were positively correlated with trait anxiety in AN patients. Conclusion: These findings underline that individuals with AN display significantly lower explicit feelings of power, however, they show similar implicit power motives compared to individuals without AN. The discrepancy between explicit feelings of power and implicit power motives is related to anxiety in AN and may represent a vulnerability factor to illness maintenance.

description: Using a Boussinesq model with improved linear dispersion, we show numerical evidence that bottom non-uniformity can provoke significantly increased probability of freak waves as a wave field propagates into shallower water, in agreement with recent experimental results [K. Trulsen, H. Zeng, and O. Gramstad, 'Laboratory evidence of freak waves provoked by non-uniform bathymetry,' Phys. Fluids24, 097101 (2012)]. Increased values of skewness, kurtosis, and probability of freak waves can be found on the shallower side of a bottom slope, with a maximum close to the end of the slope. The increased probability of freak waves is typically seen to endure some distance into the shallower domain, before it decreases and reaches a stable value depending on the depth. The maxima of the statistical parameters are observed both in the case where there is a region of constant depth after the slope, and in the case where the uphill slope is immediately followed by a downhill slope. In the case that waves propagate over a slope from shallower to deeper water, however, we do not find any increase in freak wave occurrence.

description: This study arose out of a concern for the adult learners who choose to study in computer conferencing courses offered via the World Wide Web. The numbers of these adult learners are burgeoning; universities are responding to the demand by placing ever-increasing numbers of courses online. However, this learning environment is a new one for many adult students and instructors. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to describe the salient features of communicating and learning in this environment, and to explore the factors which underpin the successful participation of adult learners in computer conferencing courses. Twenty adult learners enrolled in two different computer conferencing courses in two universities located in different provinces in Atlantic Canada participated in this study. As well, the four instructors who delivered these courses were involved in the research study. The design of this qualitative study utilized multiple sources of data. The study entailed in-depth interviews conducted via telephone at two points---once early in the course, and a second time when the course was complete. In addition, information was collected in initial questionnaires and from the transcripts of the courses. A computer-assisted qualitative data analysis program was utilized to assist in the coding of the emerging themes. These emergent themes were incorporated into the protocol for the second set of interviews. Results of the study indicate that the computer conference supported a shift in the roles of learner and instructor, as instructors functioned as facilitators and learners became more self-directed in their learning. However, this shift occurs on a continuum, and is dependent upon how the computer conferencing environment is organized. The potential of group work for supporting a constructivist learning environment in the computer conference emerged. The importance of clear communication, which can be supported by forging personal relationships with classmates in the computer conference also emerged as an essential component of achievement in the computer conference. And finally, the learners in this study expressed a strong sense of academic efficacy. They demonstrated a strong subjective assurance in their ability to succeed at the academic task which they had undertaken.

description: L'objet de la recherche sera de faire l'étude et l'analyse des débats de la Chambre des Communes . Plus précisément, les débats portant sur les projets de loi concernant les modifications apportées à la Loi sur les jeunes contrevenants. Cette thèse préconise une approche qualitative d'analyse de données obtenues et cherche à clarifier et comprendre comment, à des périodes de temps précises, se construisent des vérités sur les jeunes contrevenants coupables d'homicide. Pour ce faire, il y aura l'intégration d'articles scientifiques sur la matière d'homicide et des peines en plus de d'autres sources jugées pertinentes. Au plan méthodologique, une majeure partie de la thèse consiste donc en une analyse documentaire sur les projets de loi qui émanent de la Chambre des Communes. Ainsi, l'accent sera placé sur deux débats portant sur les projets de loi, soit le projet C-12 (1992) et le projet C-37 (1995) qui ont apporté des amendements à La loi sur les jeunes contrevenants pour les cas de meurtre.

description: Background: While power imbalance is now recognized as a key component of bullying, reliable and valid measurement instruments have yet to be developed. This research aimed to develop a self-report instrument that measures power imbalance as perceived by the victim of frequent aggressive behavior. Methods: A mixed methods approach was used (468 participants, Grade 4 to 6). This paper describes the exploratory (n = 111) and confirmatory factor analysis of the new instrument (n = 337), and assessment of reliablity and construct validity. Results: A 2-factor model represented physical and social aspects of power imbalance (n = 127: normed chi-square = 1.2, RMSEA = .04, CF1 = .993). The social factor included constructs of group and peer valued characteristics. Conclusions: This research will enhance health and education professionals understanding of power imbalance in bullying and will inform the design and evaluation of interventions to address bullying in children.

description: Background: Effects of systemic corticosteroids on blood gene expression are largely unknown. This study determined gene expression signature associated with short-term oral prednisone therapy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its relationship to 1-year mortality following an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). Methods: Gene expression in whole blood was profiled using the Affymetrix Human Gene 1.1 ST microarray chips from two cohorts: 1) a prednisone cohort with 37 stable COPD patients randomly assigned to prednisone 30 mg/d + standard therapy for 4 days or standard therapy alone and 2) the Rapid Transition Program (RTP) cohort with 218 COPD patients who experienced AECOPD and were treated with systemic corticosteroids. All gene expression data were adjusted for the total number of white blood cells and their differential cell counts. Results: In the prednisone cohort, 51 genes were differentially expressed between prednisone and standard therapy group at a false discovery rate of < 0.05. The top 3 genes with the largest fold-changes were KLRF1, GZMH and ADGRG1; and 21 genes were significantly enriched in immune system pathways including the natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity. In the RTP cohort, 27 patients (12.4%) died within 1 year after hospitalisation of AECOPD; 32 of 51 genes differentially expressed in the prednisone cohort significantly changed from AECOPD to the convalescent state and were enriched in similar cellular immune pathways to that in the prednisone cohort. Of these, 10 genes including CX3CR1, KLRD1, S1PR5 and PRF1 were significantly associated with 1-year mortality. Conclusions: Short-term daily prednisone therapy produces a distinct blood gene signature that may be used to determine and monitor treatment responses to prednisone in COPD patients during AECOPD. Trial registration: The prednisone cohort was registered at clinicalTrials.gov ( NCT02534402 ) and the RTP cohort was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov ( NCT02050022 ).

description: Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and type 1 NF1 deletions often exhibit more severe clinical manifestations than patients with intragenic NF1 gene mutations, including facial dysmorphic features, overgrowth, severe global developmental delay, severe autistic symptoms and considerably reduced cognitive abilities, all of which are detectable from a very young age. Type 1 NF1 deletions encompass 1.4 Mb and are associated with the loss of 14 protein-coding genes, including NF1 and SUZ12. Atypical NF1 deletions, which do not encompass all 14 protein-coding genes located within the type 1 NF1 deletion region, have the potential to contribute to the delineation of the genotype/phenotype relationship in patients with NF1 microdeletions. Here, we review all atypical NF1 deletions reported to date as well as the clinical phenotype observed in the patients concerned. We compare these findings with those of a newly identified atypical NF1 deletion of 698 kb which, in addition to the NF1 gene, includes five genes located centromeric to NF1. The atypical NF1 deletion in this patient does not include the SUZ12 gene but does encompass CRLF3. Comparative analysis of such atypical NF1 deletions suggests that SUZ12 hemizygosity is likely to contribute significantly to the reduced cognitive abilities, severe global developmental delay and facial dysmorphisms observed in patients with type 1 NF1 deletions.
Tectonic framework and relative ages of structures within the Ottawa-Bonnechere graben.

Subjects: subject: Geology.

description: The Ottawa-Bonnechere graben forms a 55 km wide topographic low extending from near Montreal through Ottawa. It is part of the St. Lawrence rift system, which also includes the Saguenay graben in Quebec. Cambrian to Ordovician carbonate and fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the St. Lawrence Platform overlie Grenvillian basement rocks and, in the Ottawa-Hull area, are cut by several generations of brittle faulting. Relative ages of faults and associated structures are determined or inferred from field studies of key outcrops. Three periods of faulting are defined, and the orientations of the paleostress fields associated with each period are modelled using fault and fault surface lineations orientation data. The oldest generation of fault structures, referred to as D$\sb1$, formed in response to a stress field in which the greatest principal horizontal stress was oriented northwest. The second and third periods of faulting (D$\sb2$, D$\sb3$) occurred when the greatest principal horizontal stress was oriented west-northwest and southwest, respectively. Both D$\sb2$ and D$\sb3$ involved the reactivation of the existing faults and the development of new faults. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: This thesis explores definition of five concepts central to international health intervention, participation, efficiency, equity, scaling up and sustainability, within the case study of the Tanzanian Essential Health Interventions Project (TEHIP). Developed in response to the 1993 World Development Report and implemented in Tanzania during the era of health sector reform under structural adjustment, TEHIP offers an especially pertinent case within which to explore the language and health practices resulting from this particular history and ideology. Using key informant interviews and literature review, conceptual and applied definitions of the concepts were analyzed. A theoretical framework of health equity as social justice, offered by Amartya Sen, Fabienne Peter, and Thomas Pogge, was employed to examine assumptions and biases inherent in these concepts and their application. Despite significant health gains achieved by TEHIP, this theoretical analysis raises important questions and concerns about the rationale, design and implementation of the project. Keywords. Participation, efficiency, equity, sustainability, scaling up, health intervention, health system reform, Tanzania.
Analysis of gene junction sequences of human parainfluenza virus type 3.
Creators: name: Jogalekar, Prachi.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Transcription of the human parainfluenza virus type 3 (hPIV3) genome occurs by a sequential stop-start mechanism which is directed by short conserved sequence elements found at the boundary of the each of the hPIV3 genes, yielding several monocistronic mRNAs. The general aim of this project was to begin to elucidate the role of these cis acting transcription regulatory sequences. A technique called minigenome rescue, which allows the in vitro manipulation and analysis of cDNA representing minigenome analogs of the hPIV3 genome, was used. The requirement of the rule of six for efficient rescue of hPIV3 minigenomes was verified using a series of monocistronic cDNAs. Minigenomes whose total length was a multiple of six nt (6n) were rescued more efficiently than minigenomes that were not 6n nt in length, as assayed by CAT activity. Removal of the eight extra nt from the M/F junction reduced the frequency of transcriptional readthrough to the level seen for the other hPIV3 gene junctions. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background Imaging of the lung by MRI is challenging due to the intrinsic low proton density and rapid T2* relaxation. MRI methods providing lung parenchyma and function are in demand. Purpose To investigate the feasibility of two‐dimensional ultrashort echo‐time (2D UTE) imaging for lung function assessment. Study Type Prospective. Population Eleven healthy volunteers. Field Strength/Sequence 3T, 2D tiny golden angle UTE (2D‐tyUTE). Assessment The applicability of breath‐hold (BH) and self‐gated (SG) 2D‐tyUTE for quantification of the lung parenchyma signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR), proton fraction (fP), fractional ventilation (FV), and perfusion (f) was investigated. Dependencies on repetition time (BHS/I1/I2) and respiratory phase (expiration [EX], inspiration [IN]) were investigated and compared between smokers and nonsmokers. Statistical Tests Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kendell's W. Results Significant differences of SNR (EX: 10.98 ± 3.19(BHS), 14.58 ± 3.89(BHI1), 17.59 ± 4.92(BHI2), 11.00 ± 5.42(SG); IN: 7.17 ± 2.07(BHS), 9.51 ± 2.37(BHI1), 10.49 ± 2.33(BHI2), 10.00 ± 4.14(SG)) (P < 0.05 for all cases) were observed between the different approaches. Where fP in expiration (0.41 ± 0.13) was independent of the BH imaging technique, it was slightly higher in SG (0.44 ± 0.06). FV was reproducible among the BH techniques (0.41 ± 0.10), but significantly lower in SG (0.21 ± 0.06) (P < 0.05). A moderate correlation (R2 = 0.47, P < 0.01) was observed between the breathing amplitude and FV. No significant differences between BH and SG were observed for the perfusion analysis (EX: 3.50 ± 1.29 mL/min/mL [BHS]; IN: 2.36 ± 1.05 mL/min/mL [BHS]). Significant differences in fP were found between smokers (0.48 ± 0.11 BH) and nonsmokers (0.37 ± 0.12 BH) in expiration. Data Conclusion This study demonstrates the feasibility of 2D‐tyUTE for successful quantification of relevant lung function parameters at 3T within clinically attractive acquisition times. The low spatial resolution into the slice selection direction may limit the final sensitivity and needs further clinical evaluation. Level of Evidence 2 Technical Efficacy Stage 1 J. MAGN. RESON.

description: The government is trying to encourage jobs and growth in the 2016 budget through some measures for young job-seekers and working families while establishing tougher rules on welfare. Working families will have to wait for the childcare subsidies in the Jobs for Families package. But there is A$840 million in the budget for a Youth Employment Plan to help up to 120,000 young people secure jobs. The government will extend the time people can spend in job-active services before they have to start Work for the Dole from six to 12 months. The budget provides an additional $100 million over three years to address family violence. The measures will draw on the recommendations of the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and builds on the $101.2 million in the 2015-16 mid-year budget update. The government is spending an additional $29.9 billion over ten years to deliver the plans outlined in the 2016 Defence White Paper. This includes the funding for 12 new submarines, nine future frigates and 12 offshore patrol vessels.

Unruly Extimacy: The Problem of Nature in Hegel's Final System

description: Concentrating on G.W.F. Hegel’s controversial Naturphilosophie (1830), Part I ventures the following thesis: Hegelian nature is characterized by a “constitutive lack.” Insofar as the natural register lacks the precision and necessity immanent within the dialectical developments of conceptual thought it is capable of radical novelty—the unexpected. This is important: it offers a sense of how the natural register is open to thought and yet, simultaneously, a source of that which has the perpetual possibility of undermining conceptual distinctions and anticipations. The remainder of the project systematically maps what such a conception of nature must mean in terms of Hegel’s concept of spirit (Geist). Consequently, Part II analyzes Hegel’s bizarre account of psychopathology. The central thesis in this context claims that what Hegel’s speculative analysis of ‘madness’ shows us are the ways in which subjectivity might be dominated by its material-instinctual dimension as it unfolds within the unconscious depths of concrete subjectivity. Subjectivity retains the perpetual possibility of regression insofar as it reverts to being materially (maternally) determined strictly by way of externality. Questioning the presupposition of nature’s complete sublation, Part III focuses on Hegel’s political writings. Hegel’s analysis of criminality and punishment allows for the possibility of what we will call “surplus repressive punishment.” A surplus repressive punishment, a brute form of natural external pressure, would constitute spirit’s, i.e. freedom’s, “regressive de-actualization” at both the individual (subjective) and intersubjective (objective, communal) levels. Therefore, surplus repressive punishment, as an expression of spirit’s naturality, serves to undermine spirit’s objective actualization in its entirety. The problem of nature remains very much an active dimension of spirit’s concrete actualization at the socio-political level. The project offers a precise indication of how Hegel’s philosophy of spirit, i.e. his philosophy of freedom, is one intertwined with the problem instantiated by the matrices of nature. Sensitivity to this problem, that there is a problem here, and that Hegel’s system can be pursued to address it is one of the not always recognized merits of his thought. Simultaneously, Hegel’s system becomes surprisingly relevant for our contemporary world insofar as nature remains a problem for our living present.

Spatial-temporal fish stock assessment.
Creators: name: Storey, Susan.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Biology, Biostatistics.

description: This thesis explores an alternative method of assessing the status of commercially exploited fish stocks. Aggregate numerical least-squares regression methods are most often used to estimate fin fish population numbers by age of fish within the stock. These methods, commonly called virtual population analysis (VPA) or cohort analysis, provide single point static estimates of stock size. In this thesis, the state-of-age aggregated stock components are tracked over the course of each season. Data about fish stock spatial-temporal migration dynamics and partial observations from catches by the commercial fishery are used to update stock status estimates over the course of the season. Stock status is described in a probability distribution over discrete stock classes. A Bayesian updating procedure is used to take account of the partially observable catch information. The model requires a probabilistic description of the underlying stock dynamics in the form of a Markovian probability transition matrix, and a reliability measure that explicitly accounts for errors in observation. The spatial-temporal assessment approach is applied to the Scotia-Fundy herring stock in NAFO divisions 4WX. The dynamics of the herring are described and the model is developed for a given season.

description: INTRODUCCIÓN: El tratamiento habitual de los pacientes diagnosticados de narcolepsia se realiza habitualmente en la mayor parte de los casos a través de los servicios de neurología, y se basa en el uso de diversos fármacos de perfil estimulante.

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CASO: Nuestro caso trata sobre un paciente derivado desde neurología para tratamiento de cuadro adaptativo, tras fracaso de tratamiento médico por cuadro de narcolepsia con cataplejía debido a los efectos secundarios que hacían que el paciente no pudiera mantener una correcta adherencia. Aunque los síntomas presentados por el paciente son de carácter leve, se plantea iniciar tratamiento con un antidepresivo dual en dosis crecientes, ya que ambas vías de acción resultan útiles en el tratamiento de los síntomas del cuadro de base.

EXPLORACIÓN Y PRUEBAS COMPLEMENTARIAS: Se realiza el seguimiento del paciente en consulta ambulatoria de forma seriada, incorporando a cada consulta una entrevista clínica exhaustiva y la escala de narcolepsia de Ullanlinna para monitorizar progreso. Previamente por neurología realizadas pruebas de imagen y estudios funcionales.

DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES: Inicialmente, y a dosis moderadas del antidepresivo se valora una respuesta modesta que afecta principalmente a los síntomas de cataplejía, que se completan a dosis más elevadas con un efecto positivo sobre los síntomas de narcolepsia. Actualmente se encuentra en estudio el uso de la reboxetina para el tratamiento de la narcolepsia con resultados esperanzadores, contemplándose en esta línea el uso de antidepresivos tricíclicos en el tratamiento, que en nuestro caso tampoco fueron bien tolerados. Los antidepresivos duales deben ser tenidos en cuenta en el tratamiento de la narcolepsia (sobre todo cuando asocian cataplejía ya que la vía serotoninergica mejora estos síntomas), dada su mejor tolerabilidad en los casos de mala tolerancia a tratamientos clásicos, habituales en la práctica clínica.
One woman's construction of self and meaning. A qualitative study of the life of Alice Koller based on her autobiographical texts: "An Unknown Woman" (1981) and "The Stations of Solitude" (1990).

Subjects: subject: Biography.

description: This research project is a qualitative interpretation of the life of an American woman, Alice Koller, born in the mid-1920's, who described her construction of self and meaning in two texts, An Unknown Woman (1981) and The Stations of Solitude (1990). Within the framework of qualitative research, the autobiographical text provides an appropriate document through which to study an individual woman's reflections on her changing construction of self and meaning over her lifetime and within her specific socio-cultural and psychological contexts. The long term objective to which this project hopes to contribute is the development of our understanding and broadening of our appreciation of how those twentieth-century women who have written about their lives make meaning in their lives and transform their construction of self. This contextualized study will seek to answer two interrelated questions posed of Koller's texts. Firstly, against the conceptual framework of the major psychological research which seems to bear on her development, what was the nature of Alice Koller's transformational crisis, at age 37, on Nantucket Island; and, how did Koller change her construction of self and meaning during this transformational process? Secondly, situated within her socio-cultural context, how did Alice Koller respond to the conflicting ideals and images facing an educated woman in twentieth-century America?

Status of specific energy intensity of copper: Insights from the review of sustainability reports
Creators: name: Northey, Stephen A.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: There are a range of major industry factors placing upward pressure on the energy intensity of primary copper production. Copper ore grades are declining, mines are becoming deeper and deposits are becoming more complex. However, at the same time the individual processes employed during mining, mineral processing and metal production are becoming more efficient. Given these competing trends, a good question to ask: has the rate of innovation by engineers and the research community been exceeding the upward pressure on energy intensity created by trends at the mine-sites?

description: The Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) over urban areas depicts a crucial zone of interaction between the synoptic-scale weather and direct surface-driven impacts on the atmosphere. The added heat and surface roughness, as well as the release of pollutants and reduction in moisture sources mean the urban boundary layer (UBL) is characterised by specific climate and flow conditions.

With the majority of the global population living in urban areas, they are increasingly moving into the focus of climate change adaptation. For example, global initiatives like The Covenant of Mayors are seeking solutions to make cities more resilient through adaptation measures. To make an appropriate roadmap to implement this planning should be based on data collection, modelling and simulations. Decision-makers usually have a wide range of tools at their disposal to address these challenges anddevelop resilience, but a better understanding of the microclimate and the environment of the settlement, as well the circumstances and sequences of extreme weather events could be essential to make informed decisions and choose proper development paths. The development of Urban Heat Islands or the propagation of air pollutants requires targeted measures. An improved understanding of processes in the UBL is critical for the evaluation of high-resolution numerical weather predictionand air quality assessment in cities, but also to inform sustainable urban planning and efficient disaster risk management (e.g. heat risk mitigation and adaptation).

In this chapter, we highlight a few examples of novel ground-based remote sensing profile data and products that showcase the importance of detailed ABL information for near-surface atmospheric conditions in urban settings. To ensure such data can be exploited effectively by municipalities, urban planners, or operational agencies, e.g. responsible for the monitoring and forecasting of air quality or microclimates, the information may need to be provided in targeted formats. Discussions are ongoing between different actors to develop the required communication strategies and to ensure applied products are made available that can be transformed into applicable decision support tools.

Mechanistic studies of chain reactions involving bromo compounds.
Creators: name: Renaud, Jocelyn.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: Chain reaction mechanisms have been the focus of this thesis. Two systems, dehydrobromination of ring-substituted $\alpha$-bromoacetophenones in alcohols and 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer reactions involved with o-bromo-p-methoxy ethers, have been studied using different approaches. Ring substituted $\alpha$-bromoacetophenones react with alcohols in a chain reaction leading to the corresponding acetophenone, HBr, and the carbonyl compound from oxidation of the alcohol. Two different mechanisms, involving hydrogen or electron transfer by ketyl radicals, have been proposed in order to accommodate the unusual selectivities of these reactions. By studying the efficiency of isotope incorporation from deuterated alcohols, it has been possible to determine the relative contributions from both mechanisms. A mechanistic study involving 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer for a newly introduced protecting/radical translocating group is described. The absolute rate constant for the radical translocation (1,5-hydrogen atom transfer) following halogen abstraction of 2-bromo-4-methoxy-1-(2-phenylethoxy) benzene (27) by Et$\sb3$Si$\sp\cdot$ radicals has been examined using laser flash photolysis techniques.

description: Dr Fengxian He studied battery energy management systems in underground mine electric vehicles for Australian mine industries. An underground mine electric vehicle model was established to investigate battery packs requirements. A battery sorting method was proposed to build battery packs and battery pack state of charge estimation algorithm was applied to the battery management system to optimize vehicle energy and power flow. Different types of battery pack experiments were conducted under underground mine electric vehicle operation conditions. The experimental results were used in vehicle simulation to validate battery packs performances. The outcomes contribute to current underground mine electric vehicle field.
