description: Nasopharyngeal (NP) swab sampling is an effective approach for the diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Medical staffs carrying out the task of collecting NP specimens are in close contact with the suspected patient, thereby posing a high risk of cross-infection. We propose a low-cost miniature robot that can be easily assembled and remotely controlled. The system includes an active end-effector, a passive positioning arm, and a detachable swab gripper with integrated force sensing capability. The cost of the materials for building this robot is 55 USD and the total weight of the functional part is 0.23kg. The design of the force sensing swab gripper was justified using Finite Element (FE) modeling and the performances of the robot were validated with a simulation phantom and three pig noses. FE analysis indicated a 0.5mm magnitude displacement of the gripper's sensing beam, which meets the ideal detecting range of the optoelectronic sensor. Studies on both the phantom and the pig nose demonstrated the successful operation of the robot during the collection task. The average forces were found to be 0.35N and 0.85N, respectively. It is concluded that the proposed robot is promising and could be further developed to be used in vivo.

description: We use a matrix Boltzmann equation formalism to test the accuracy of Slonczewski's theory of spin-transfer torque in thin-film heterostructures where a non-magnetic spacer layer separates two non-collinear ferromagnetic layers connected to non-magnetic leads. When applicable, the model predictions for the torque as a function of the angle between the two ferromagnets agree extremely well with the torques computed from a Boltzmann equation calculation. We focus on asymmetric structures (where the two ferromagnets and two leads are not identical) where the agreement pertains to a new analytic formula for the torque derived by us using Slonczewski's theory. In almost all cases, we can predict the correct value of the model parameters directly from the geometric and transport properties of the multilayer. For some asymmetric geometries, we predict a new mode of stable precession that does not occur for the symmetric case studied by Slonczewski.

description: Code offloading refers to partitioning software and migrating the mobile codes to other computational entities for processing. Often when a large number of mobile codes need to be distributed to many heterogenous hosts, this can easily lead to poor system performance if one host gets too many mobile codes to process while others are almost idle. To resolve such situation, we proposed a proposed a load balancing algorithm to ensure fairness in the distribution of the mobile codes. The algorithm is based on the popular Weighted Least-Connections (WLC) scheduling algorithm while taking into consideration the dynamic recalculation of the hosts weights and system attributes such as CPU idle rate and memory idle rate which the WLC algorithm does not take into consideration. Using simulation, various number of mobile codes were distributed to the hosts/servers and the proposed algorithm outperform existing Least-Connections and Weighted Least-Connections scheduling algorithms thus improving system efficiency.

description: Topology is a branch of mathematics that concerns itself with a study of shape and how to describe them through computable numerical characteristics. While this sounds inauspicious, in the last two decades we witnessed a very rapid development of Topological Data Analysis (TDA), which has now established itself as a key part of modern data-driven science alongside machine learning and statistics. There are now very many examples of how TDA can be used to derive information from complex data sets and to provide insight into complex scientific problems. In this talk, we will introduce the main tools of TDA and to illustrate their applications to the problem of solubility of chemical compounds. The talk will also serve as an introduction to the other talks in this session.

description: A new type of stochastic dependence for a sequence of random variables is introduced and studied. Precisely, (X_n)_{n\geq 1} is said to be conditionally identically distributed (c.i.d.), with respect to a filtration (G_n)_{n\geq 0}, if it is adapted to (G_n)_{n\geq 0} and, for each n\geq 0, (X_k)_{k>n} is identically distributed given the past G_n. In case G_0={\varnothing,Ω} and G_n=σ(X_1,...,X_n), a result of Kallenberg implies that (X_n)_{n\geq 1} is exchangeable if and only if it is stationary and c.i.d. After giving some natural examples of nonexchangeable c.i.d. sequences, it is shown that (X_n)_{n\geq 1} is exchangeable if and only if (X_{τ(n)})_{n\geq 1} is c.i.d. for any finite permutation τof {1,2,...}, and that the distribution of a c.i.d. sequence agrees with an exchangeable law on a certain sub-σ-field. Moreover, (1/n)\sum_{k=1}^nX_k converges a.s. and in L^1 whenever (X_n)_{n\geq 1} is (real-valued) c.i.d. and E[| X_1| ]

description: One of the last major undertakings of Justice Willard Z. Estey was a comprehensive review of the grain handling and transportation system in Western Canada, undertaken for the federal government. Commissioned in December 1997, it was completed in two phases – May and December 1998. Conducted with Justice Estey’s usual energy, the review undertook an extensive consultation process, first to identify problems in the grain handling system and then to suggest solutions. Reform of the grain handling and transportation system has been an extremely contentious issue in the Canadian Prairies, and it took considerable courage to propose the radical changes contained in Judge Estey’s review. While the federal government has implemented a number of Judge Estey’s recommendations, it did not implement his entire package. The impact of the reforms is still being debated. This article discusses Judge Estey’s approach to the review process, outlines the major issues the review addressed and provides a preliminary assessment of the implementation of the review’s recommendations.

description: Blockchain is relatively a new area of research. However, a surge of research studies on the blockchain has taken place in recent years. These research studies have mostly focused on designing and developing conceptual frameworks to build more reliable, transparent and efficient digital systems. While blockchain brings a wide variety of benefits, it also imposes certain challenges. Therefore, the objective of this research is to understand the properties of blockchain, its current uses, observed benefits and pitfalls to provide a balanced understanding of blockchain. A systematic literature review approach was adopted in this paper in order to attain the objective. A total of 51 articles were selected and reviewed. As outcomes, this research provides a summary of the state-of-the-art research studies conducted in the area of blockchain. Furthermore, we develop a set of concept maps aiming to provide in-depth knowledge on blockchain technology for its efficient and effective usage in the development of future technological solutions.

Managing challenging contexts : understanding children’s health
Creators: name: Irwin, Lori Gayle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: We know that the social conditions in which children live exert a strong influence on their health; yet we do not know how children's experience of these conditions of daily life shape their health. This research examined how contexts of daily life influence children's perspectives of health. The children involved in this study all lived in a neighbourhood characterized as having a complex of mid to high range of neighbourhood factors associated with vulnerability. Factors that impede or enhance children's sense of agency in relation to their health were examined, as was the role that parents play in children's perspectives of health. Ethnographic methods were employed which involved the systematic exploration of the social or cultural setting. Fourteen first grade children (6-7 years old) and their parents participated in this study. The health ideas, beliefs, knowledge, and practices of these young children were examined through in-depth interviews, observations of the children in their after-school care programs, parent questionnaires, and informal conversations with the children, parents, and key informants. The findings demonstrate that the children were able to articulate the health requirements of physical activity, healthy eating, an awareness of social standards, and the scholastic competencies that support their health. There was a disparity between the children's health knowledge, their perceptions, and their contextual realities in relation to health. Children spoke of concerns for their physical safety within their schools and neighbourhoods; their lack of free range of play, and that they had few opportunities to play with or get to know neighbourhood friends. Most children spoke of a lack of familiarity with neighbours, while parents spoke of not belonging and echoed the children's concerns regarding safety and lack of neighbourhood cohesion. The children used a variety of resources to support their health and to compensate for their neighbourhood challenges. The findings of this research have implications for including children in our future research; the findings also support the need for ensuring quality after-school programming, and providing simple solutions for creating safer communities for children. Nurses and other health professionals in contact with children and families who live in challenging social conditions need to be aware of how these contexts shape children's understanding of their own health potential.

description: This paper deals with innovation in supply chains and discusses the effects that its organisation (e.g., bargaining power along the chain) might bring on innovation and ultimately to the sustainability of the chain. The analysis was carried out considering the case of the UK potato sector and by comparing three case studies: the first two consider the situation of a supply chain that sells fresh potatoes to retailers (one in South England and another in Scotland), whilst the third one consists of a supply chain that produces potatoes to be further processed. The results indicate that the supply chain leader plays an important role in both in the organisation of the chain and in the initialisation, management and success of the innovation

description: This photo shows a group of workers in an engineering workshop during the war. As part of mobilizing the nation for war, women workers were permitted to take jobs that had been previously reserved for men, although they did not receive the same pay rates. In general men were astonished to find that women workers were capable and quick to learn. The women here are wearing the brown overalls and caps associated with 'munitionettes', as female munitions workers were known. The women workers are wearing 'On Service' badges, one of which is in William Edward 'Bill' Whitfield's box of badges. The exact work being performed is unknown, although on the right of the photo there is a lathe. The workshop is probably in Bradford, West Yorkshire. On the reverse in pencil is written 'A. Lister' and in pen 'Gladys Lister'. Gladys was Bill's wife but as she was born 1908 it cannot be her in this photo. Her father Fred is difficult to trace before 1911 so it has not been possible to identify 'A. Lister', if indeed this person is in the photo.

description: Chaos often represents a severe obstacle for the set-up of many-body experiments, e.g., in fusion plasmas or turbulent flows. We propose a strategy to control chaotic diffusion in conservative systems. The core of our approach is a small apt modification of the system which channels chaos by building barriers to diffusion. It leads to practical prescriptions for an experimental apparatus to operate in a regular regime (drastic enhancement of confinement). The experimental realization of this control on a Travelling Wave Tube opens the possibility to practically achieve the control of a wide range of systems at a low additional cost of energy.

description: The paper analyses the impact that European Union (EU) farmers’ and rural population’s awareness of biotechnology innovations and access to/trust in information on these issues (amongst other a priori determinants) have on their perceptions of risks and benefits of the applications of biotechnology innovations, and attitudes towards their implementation in practice. We employ structural equation models (SEM) with observed and latent variables. SEM is a statistical technique for testing and estimating relationships amongst variables, using a combination of statistical data and qualitative causal assumptions. We use an Eurobarometer dataset (2010) about awareness/acceptance of biotechnology innovations and run SEM models for ten EU countries, which include older and newer Member States. The variables included are socio-demographics, access to biotechnology information, trust in information sources on biotechnology innovations, attitudes towards the importance and impact of science and technology on society, perceptions of the risks and benefits of the applications of biotechnology innovations and attitudes towards their implementation in practice. Results between the different EU countries are comparable and, alongside other determinants, trust in information sources will significantly impact perceptions of risks and benefits of the applications of biotechnology innovations, and attitudes towards their implementation in practice. This underlines the importance of information and knowledge to acceptance of biotechnology innovations, which should be a key point on policy-makers’ agenda of developing the economic and environmental efficiency in the agricultural sector and rural sustainability in Europe. Increasing awareness of biotechnology innovations that safeguard people and the environment in order to enable informed debate and decisions will help enhance sustainability of rural areas.

description: We review the Euclidean path-integral formulation of the nucleon hadronic tensor and classify the gauge invariant and topologically distinct insertions in terms of connected and disconnected insertions and also in terms of leading and higher-twist contributions in the DIS region. Converting the Euclidean hadronic tensor back to the Minkowski space requires solving an inverse problem of the Laplace transform. We have investigated several inverse algorithms and studied the pros and cons of each. We show a result with a relatively large momentum transfer ($Q^2 \sim 4\, {\rm GeV^2}$) to suppress the elastic scattering and reveal the contributions from the resonance and inelastic region of the neutrino-nucleon scattering. For elastic scattering, the hadronic tensor is the the product of the elastic form factors for the two corresponding currents. We checked numerically for the case of two charge vector currents ($V_4$) with the electric form factor calculated from the three-point function and found they agree within errors.

description: Motivated by the recent interest in cosmologies arising from energy density modifications to the Friedmann equation, we analyse the scaling behaviour for a broad class of these cosmologies comprised of scalar fields and background barotropic fluid sources. In particular, we determine the corresponding scalar field potentials which lead to attractor scaling solutions in a wide class of braneworld and dark energy scenarios. We show how a number of recent proposals for modifying the Friedmann equation can be thought of as being dual to one another, and determine the conditions under which such dualities arise.

description: L’accès aux semences des variétés améliorées de riz (VA) constitue l’une des contraintes majeures à l’adoption de ces variétés en Afrique. Cet article vise à analyser l’accès aux semences des VA ainsi que les sources d’accès et la demande de semences par les riziculteurs africains. Les données utilisées ont été collectées en 2009 auprès de 568 ménages rizicoles à travers 17 pays africains. Les résultats obtenus montrent un faible taux d’accès des producteurs aux semences des VA, à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur de leur village qu’en dehors. La taille du ménage, le niveau d'éducation, la possession d’une activité secondaire et l’existence des contraintes d'accès aux services de vulgarisation et d'accès au crédit sont les principaux déterminants de l’accès des riziculteurs aux semences des VA. Le système semencier informel est la principale source de semences pour la majorité des riziculteurs africains. En fait, les semences utilisées par les producteurs proviennent généralement du stock de grains issu de la récolte précédente. Cette situation ne leur permet pas d’accéder à des semences de riz de qualité. Les analyses montrent aussi que la demande des riziculteurs en semences améliorées est loin d’être satisfaite, car leurs besoins par campagne dépassent largement les quantités obtenues. Ainsi, la formation des producteurs pour la sélection et conservation de semence de qualité à partir de leur propre champs pour les campagnes suivantes pourrait améliorer l’accès des producteurs aux semences des VA de qualité.

description: L’ananas est un fruit composé de la famille des broméliacées qui se cultive dans les zones tropicales. Au Bénin, la culture de ce fruit prend de plus en plus d’importance. C’est pourquoi l’ananas fait parti des filières prioritaires du Plan Stratégique de Relance du secteur Agricole (PSRSA). Plusieurs études ont été menées sur ce produit mais aucune ne s’est penchée sur la préférence du consommateur. Le présent article rend compte d’une étude qui a été réalisée dans le second semestre de l’année 2012. Son objectif est d’analyser la préférence des consommateurs d’ananas frais au Bénin. Les données ont été collectées auprès de 210 consommateurs dans les grandes villes du Bénin et quelques milieux ruraux caractérisés par la production d’ananas. Un modèle de choix discret a été spécifié et estimé par la méthode de nested logit. Les analyses révèlent que les consommateurs d’ananas du Bénin préfèrent majoritairement la variété pain du sucre reconnue pour sa forte teneur en jus et en sucre avec une part de marché de plus de 80%. Cependant, chez les consommateurs loin des points de vente d’ananas, c’est la variété cayenne lisse qui est privilégiée du fait de sa résistance physique. Aussi, les consommateurs béninois sont-ils prêts à acheter l’ananas de leur préférence même si le fruit est cher. Les autorités béninoises doivent donc oeuvrer pour le renforcement de la production du pain de sucre pour le marché nationale.

description: Extraordinarily transmitting arrays are promising candidates for quasi-optical (QO) components due to their high frequency selectivity and beam scanning capabilities owing to the leaky-wave mechanism involved. We show here how by breaking certain unit cell and lattice symmetries, one can achieve a rich family of transmission resonances associated with the leaky-wave dispersion along the surface of the array. By combining 2-D and 1-D periodic method of moments (MoM) calculations with QO terahertz (THz) time-domain measurements, we provide physical insights, numerical, and experimental demonstration of the different mechanisms involved in the resonances associated with the extraordinary transmission peaks and how these evolve with the number of slots. Thanks to the THz instrument used, we are also able to explore the time-dependent emission of the different frequency components involved.

description: Let ξ_t, t\in[0,T], be a strong Markov process with values in a complete separable metric space (X,ρ) and with transition probability function P_{s,t}(x,dy), 0\le s\le t\le T, x\in X. For any h\in[0,T] and a>0, consider the function α(h,a)=sup\bigl{P_{s,t}\bigl(x,{y:ρ(x,y)\ge a}\bigr):x\in X,0\le s\le t\le (s+h)\wedge T\bigr}. It is shown that a certain growth condition on α(h,a), as a\downarrow0 and h stays fixed, implies the almost sure boundedness of the p-variation of ξ_t, where p depends on the rate of growth.
