description: In the breast cancer population to date, theoretical approaches and intervention strategies used to promote physical activity (PA) have relied upon intrapersonal (e.g., attitudes) and interpersonal (e.g., subjective norms) variables to understand PA behaviors. Unfortunately, these studies were limited by not looking at variables beyond the individual and their social support networks. Using a social ecological framework, this study examined correlates of PA among breast cancer survivors (BCS') from a multilevel perspective that assessed correlates at the intrapersonal (task and barrier self-efficacy---SE), interspersonal (social support), institutional (health care climate) and community (accessibility to home exercise equipment and neighborhood facilities) levels of influence. Fifty BCS' were recruited and assessed over a period of one month. Assessments included self-report questionnaires to assess the social ecological correlates for PA, a resting energy expenditure test to obtain basal metabolic rate, a DEXA san to obtain percentage of total body fat and accelcrometry to objectively assess total and average daily energy expenditure (EE). Quantitative findings revealed that barrier self-efficacy was a significant correlate of total EE (r = .290, p = .043) and daily EE (r = .315, p = .029) among BCS'. Specifically, do not feel like it, was a significant correlate for total energy expenditure (r = .316, p = .027), and no time (r = .345, p = .018), feeling under the weather (r = .364, p = .011) and do not feel like it (r = .315, p = .029) were significant correlates of average energy expenditure per day. A non-significant relationship between PA and the other levels of the social ecological model was found. Based on these preliminary findings, further investigation into the use of different variables at the social ecological levels of influence is warranted. The findings at the intrapersonal level have practical implications in that a barrier self-efficacy scale specific to breast cancer should be developed to include the specific side effects that breast cancer treatments cause. Such a scale can assist in identifying the targets for PA program development by highlighting the issues that are of greater importance to breast cancer patients. In terms of a PA intervention, SE as it relates to time constraints, not feeling well and a lack of will power should be addressed. For example, behavioral counseling that targets the specific issues of the BCS could be incorporated into the PA intervention, whereby the counselor assists the BCS with the identification of coping strategies to overcome various barriers specific to PA.

description: Przedmiotem niniejszej publikacji jest rozwój polskiej odmiany dyscypliny naukowej określanej medioznawstwem. W węższym znaczeniu tego pojęcia przez medioznawstwo rozumiemy naukę badającą funkcjonowanie mediów masowych. W ujęciu szerszym za medioznawstwo uznaje się naukę o komunikowaniu medialnym, czyli komunikację prowadzoną przy pomocy urządzeń technicznych – środków komunikowania masowego. Medioznawstwo wywodzi się z prasoznawstwa. Jak to zdefiniowano w specjalistycznych słownikach, pod tą tradycyjną polską nazwą kryje się „nauka o tworzeniu, zawartości, przekazywaniu i odbiorze prasy (we wszystkich jej aspektach) i publikacji prasopodobnych (radiowych, telewizyjnych). Czasami prasoznawstwo interpretowane jest szeroko jako wiedza o komunikowaniu masowym”.Autor niniejszej publikacji doszedł do wniosku, że polskie medioznawstwo ma swój symboliczny początek w ostatnich latach XVIII wieku. W kolejnym stuleciu media były przedmiotem licznych badań prowadzonych przez reprezentantów starszych nauk humanistycznych i społecznych. Polskie medioznawstwo, przechodząc przez okres deskryptywny i kumulatywny, pierwszy swój paradygmat wypracowało w latach sześćdziesiątych XX wieku. W kolejnej dekadzie paradygmat ten zaczął dotyczyć nie tylko mediów, lecz także komunikacji społecznej. Cechą charakterystyczną polskich badań nad komunikacją społeczną i mediami jest ich interdyscyplinarność i odwoływanie się do innych dyscyplin szczegółowych, zarówno z obszaru nauk społecznych, jak i humanistycznych. Gwałtowny rozwój współczesnych mediów powoduje też, że medioznawcy poszerzają swoje kompetencje techniczne.Multiplikacja ujęć teoretycznych zmusza medioznawców do interdyscyplinarności, a zarazem sprawia, że uprawiane przez nich badania charakteryzują się dużym zróżnicowaniem paradygmatycznym.

 Now Rhipidura leucophrys leucophrys (Latham, 1801). See Watson and Mayr, 1986: 537, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 488–489.
 HOLOTYPE: AMNH 651525, adult male, collected at Broomehill (5 Broome Hill), 33.51S, 117.38E (Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 504), Western Australia, Australia, on 25 June 1906, by Tom Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 1915) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews gave the date of collection of the type in the original description; a single AMNH specimen was collected by Carter on that date. This specimen does not bear a Mathews type label, but Carter’s original field label is marked ‘‘ Type’ ’ in Mathews’ hand. It bears a Rothschild type label with Mathews’ catalog number ‘‘1815’’ on it, which corresponds in his catalog to this specimen. A third label is a Rothschild Collection label, printed ‘‘ Ex. coll. G.M. Mathews’ ’.
 Mathews (1921b: 41) gave the range of carteri as ‘‘ South-west Australia’ ’. Paratypes are: AMNH 651523 (Mathews no. 1814), male, collected at Albany on 3 May 1907; AMNH 651528 (1825), female, collected at North Beach, Perth on 11 May 1907; and AMNH 651529 (1819), [immature], collected at Perth in February 1908. There are four probable paratypes, all collected by Carter early enough, even though I was unable to find them in Mathews’ catalog to determine whether he had them in hand for description: Dirk Hartog Island, AMNH 651522, male, 15 October 1916; and Broomehill, AMNH 651524, male, 2 February 1911, AMNH 651526, male, 18 June 1910, and AMNH 651527, male immature, 27 October 1910.

description: This 2nd edition of The British Columbia Rx Atlas details regional variations in prescription drug spending and use across 79 Local Health Areas (LHAs) in British Columbia (BC), Canada. To make “fair comparisons” across regions of the province, all analyses account for the age, sex, and health needs of residents within each LHA. This analysis is made possible by the availability of de-identified administrative datasets that describe the age, sex, health status, and medicine use of virtually all 4 million residents of BC. Together, these databases constitute one of the most comprehensive information resources of its kind in the world. We used advanced statistical techniques on the BC datasets, quantifying not only regional variations in spending but also the regional variations in factors that determine the extent of spending.

description: Apoptosis of CD4 T cells is the major immunological feature of HIV-1 disease. Despite the profound benefits of protease inhibitor based therapy, complete and absolute eradication of HIV is elusive. The main reason is the development of viral reservoirs including HIV infected macrophages and latently infected resting memory CD4 T cells which are refractory to all current HIV drugs. With concerns of toxicity and drug resistance, novel strategies specifically directed at reservoirs are clearly required. Dysregulation of death inducing ligands is a common characteristic of HIV infection. Here, we demonstrate altered regulation of TRAIL/Apo2L and its receptors in cells from infected patients. Moreover, in vitro treatment of latently infected resting memory cells with TRAIL/Apo2L significantly reduces the viral reservoir burden, in some cases to undetectable levels. This indicates that TRAIL/Apo2L possesses anti-HIV activity and implies a novel therapeutic strategy for elimination of HIV. Activation of natural killer cells with IL-15 induces a substantial increase in TRAIL/Apo2L which results in enhanced TRAIL/Apo2L specific lysis and killing of cellular reservoirs of HIV. We also suggest a possible mechanism whereby cells resistant to TRAIL/Apo2L killing acquire a sensitive phenotype, through a direct interaction with the chemokine receptor CXCR4. Finally, we show that TRAIL/Apo2L may be a regulator of inflammatory responses. HIV-1 Vpr is an important accessory gene which contributes to the destruction of CD4 T cells. Analysis of long-term asymptomatic patients found a high frequency of a specific polymorphism within a region responsible for activating mitochondria death signals. This mutation, R77Q had a diminished ability to mediate death of T cells when compared to the wildtype virus suggesting that other mutations may possess dominant negative activity. In this case, we generated a peptide termed DN2 that blocked apoptosis irrespective of HIV both in vitro and in vivo. The generalized ability of this peptide to inhibit apoptosis suggests it may prove useful for diseases where there is evidence of excessive apoptosis.

description: In this study, the deportation of Ethiopian migrants from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), i.e., the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), United Arab Emirate (UAE), and Kuwait countries, is critically analyzed considering the principle of state sovereignty, human rights law, and Islamic ethics. The research depends on qualitative data on detention and deportation from official websites of the GCC government portals and human rights organizations.From an Islamic perspective, this research addresses the moral questions raised by the deportation practice within related scholarly disciplines of Islamic ethico-legal principles on migration. Accordingly, the higher objectives of Sharia were drawn upon to analyze the deportation practice policies and measure the benefits and harms of the deportation policies and State acts considering the Covid-19 pandemic. The finding demonstrates that the conditions and treatment of migrants at detention centers contradict the core human rights instruments and Islamic moral values.

Regulation of CEBPbeta transcription and preadipocyte differentiation by histone deacetylase 1 and GCN5
Creators: name: Wiper, Nadine Louise
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Previous studies in this laboratory demonstrated that the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) ligand binding domain (LBD) can enhance transcription mediated by the CCAAT/enhaner binding protein C/EBPbeta. This result suggests that the receptor can act in a non-classical manner to positively affect transcription without directly binding DNA. To study the physiological impact of the potentiation of C/EBPbeta activity by the GR LBD, we focused on preadipocyte differentiation as both GR and C/EBPbeta influence early events. Using retroviral expression of the GR LBD in 3T3 L1 cells, a 3-fold increase in preadipocyte differentiation was observed when cultures were induced to differentiate in a cocktail containing dexamethasone. The GR LBD was also able to enhance transcription mediated by DNA-bound C/EBPbeta from the C/EBPalpha promoter and its expression increased C/EBPbeta protein levels during preadipocyte differentiation. The effect of the GR LBD was accomplished through the targeted degradation of a sub-population of the transcriptional repressor histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), which associates with C/EBPbeta via corepressor protein mSin3A. In the absence of glucocorticoids, HDAC1 maintains the C/EBPalpha promoter in a deacetylated state. The addition of steroid to the differentiation cocktail causes the degradation of the HDAC1 found in the CIEBPbeta-associated complex, a release of mSin3A, increased acetylation of the promoter histone H4 and recruitment of RNA polymerise II leading to maximal transcription from the C/EBPalpha promoter. C/EBPbeta itself is acetylated by the histone acetyltransferases GCN5 and PCAF within lysines 98, 101 and 102. In 3T3 L1 preadipocytes where only GCNS is expressed, GCNS coprecipitates with C/EBPbeta and can be found at the C/EBPalpha promoter by chromatin immunoprecipitation. The acetylation of C/EBPbeta is essential for development of full transcriptional activation potential and for differentiation of preadipocytes. Mutation of these residues leads to loss of transcriptional potentiation by GR and a striking decrease in the number of differentiated cells in both NIH 3T3 and 3T3 L1 cultures. Following glucocorticoid treatment, the mutant C/EBPbeta remains associated with HDAC1 and is inefficient in driving C/EBPalpha transcription. Acetylation may be a required modification to prevent C/EBPbeta from repression by HDAC1.

description: The aim of this study was to unlock, over the course of one academic year, the pedagogical knowledge in action of an experienced teacher educator engaged in teaching a cohort of fourteen postgraduate student teachers on a one-year, university-led, modern foreign languages course. From the context of a teacher-education classroom, the study focused on how, and with what underpinning rationale, a teacher educator helped her student teachers to see into practice with theoretical understanding. The study was based on a constructivist philosophy. To this end, there was a strong collaborative dimension to the research, which was particularly pronounced in the interactions between my ‘self’ as researcher and the teacher educator. The principal data-generation methods involved observing sixteen three-hour sessions taught by the teacher educator. Each session was followed by a debriefing interview to unpick the pedagogical processes just observed. Additionally, four semi-structured interviews were conducted with the teacher educator at different points in the year, and four focus groups were run with student teachers. The resulting empirical material was analysed using a framework for reflexive thematic analysis. The study shows how an integrative, symbiotic, and non-dichotomous relationship between theory and practice can be achieved in ways that result in theory being regarded by the student teachers as a guide, confidante, and friend – especially in adverse circumstances. The study also suggests ways in which modelling can be rendered more effective. Recommendations for practice include how careful attention needs to be given as to how experiences can be orchestrated and lived in a teacher-education classroom so as to possess the high levels of personal meaning and felt significance that can increase the reflective traction for seeing into practice. The study advocates that the desire to cover material should not come at the cost of deep understanding. Continuity with one’s students, and sufficient time away from the school classroom, are prerequisites for realising such an approach.

description: In this study, it’s aimed to reveal the social gender roles fed with women’s consciousness which was formed in the society throughout the centuries under the domination of the masculine language, and to determine the effects of The Women’s Library in Istanbul established with the intent of changing this settled consciousness. The main focus of this study is the women’s exposition to the loss of memory, who were went out of existence in the historical stage built up by the masculine language. On the basis of Jan Assman's theory of communicative and cultural memory, the efforts of women aiming to create a collective memory was examined in three stages through time, personality, and memory through self, social self, and cultural self. The women's Library’s goal is to make women and the others be aware of the gender roles and to bring women into view in the historical stage. Forming a new women’s history and discourse against masculine language The Women’s Library create awareness among women through public relations projects. These efforts set forth the women’s history once again, unearth them against the patriarchal social order, and thus by keeping alive the women’s social memory The Women’s Library plays an active role in the women’s struggle.
Shore and re-shore sequences including age of concrete and reshore stiffnesses

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: The research presented in this thesis endeavors to improve upon the Simplified (Extended) Method for the calculation of shoring/reshoring schedules, while maintaining its ease of use and practicality. The method developed assumes the parameters discussed below, most of which are contrary to those of the Simplified (Extended) Method. (1) The loads applied to the underlying shores are not necessarily uniformly distributed. (2) Shores are not infinitely stiff. (3) The relative stiffness of different age slabs has a contributory effect on the distribution of loads between shores, reshores and slabs. (4) The foundation (at the first level of shores) may not be completely rigid and the load distribution in the shores and slabs above may be affected by the foundation stiffness. During construction of reinforced concrete flat slab buildings, a freshly cast slab relies on the slabs below it for support. The Simplified Method assumes that this weight is more or less equally shared by all supporting slabs. A methodology was developed to determine more realistic load ratios supported by the slabs in the shoring and reshoring system. A basic description of this methodology is presented below (1) The stiffness characteristics of flat slabs for unit point loads applied at desired shoring and reshoring patterns were determined and stored in an array format in Microsoft Excel 2007. (2) After the stiffnesses at each shore/reshore locations were determined, equations were developed which describe the relationship between slab deflections (function of slab stiffness), shore loads and forces in reshores (unknown). (3) Parameters such as reshore stiffnesses, age adjusted slab stiffnesses, foundation stiffness, determination of load ratios applied to shores from freshly cast slab (i.e. tributary area vs. detailed analysis) and concrete creep and shrinkage were examined. The work in this thesis shows that neglecting reshore stiffness in calculating shoring/reshoring schedules is an erroneous assumption. Conclusions regarding the importance of taking into account reshore stiffnesses are provided below. (1) Neglecting the elastic stiffness of reshores greatly overestimated the average load supported by reshores for all cases studied. (2) Neglecting the elastic stiffness of reshores generally overestimates the load supported by individual reshores. (3) Using infinite reshore stiffness provided a reasonable approximation of the maximum reshore loads. (4) Neglecting reshore stiffness significantly underestimated the total load supported by the top slab in the reshored system.

description: This British Columbia Medical and Hospital Atlas was produced as a companion to the 2nd edition of The British Columbia Rx Atlas. It provides medical and hospital services information comparable to that found for pharmaceuticals in The British Columbia Rx Atlas. Our goal for the companion atlas was not to conduct a comprehensive analysis of all causes and consequences of all types of care that might be received from physicians and within hospitals. Rather, we sought to provide comparable information about the relative magnitudes of regional variations in the three largest components of heath care: prescription drugs, medical care, and hospital-based services. Ultimately, The British Columbia Medical and Hospital Atlas places the findings of The British Columbia Rx Atlas in context and allows interested readers an opportunity to explore potential area-level interactions between spending on and use of pharmaceuticals and spending on and use of medical and hospital services.

Nevertheless, I have considered it a paratype. All specimens subsequently collected by Rogers on Melville Island were taken at different localities. AMNH 651247 was collected on the same date as the holotype, but was not entered in Mathews’ catalog. Mathews frequently made only one entry when he had several specimens bearing the same data. Three Coopers Camp specimens that were cataloged by Mathews but did not come to AMNH are paratypes: Mathews number 10645, female, 30 October 1911; Mathews number 10647, male, 30 October 1911; and Mathews number 11587, male, 22 November 1911.

Which ’’Recipe” for the Japanese Economy?
Creators: name: Schmiegelow, Michéle
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2020

description: "Quick fix" recipes for Japan's economy are as fallacious as cultural pessimism. It remains a fundamentally strong economy: per capita income at US level, huge household savings intact, cutting-edge technologies. Like Germany's economy, it is maturing, beset by a shrinking demography and molded by 130 years of reliance on indirect financing. Policy problems are cyclical and structural. The bubble, induced by misguided US pressure after 1985, was ruptured with dogmatic brutality, the resulting debt deflation mismanaged until March 2002'. But Koizumi's reform has recovered strategic pragmatism: short-term anti-deflation measures, medium-term reform of banking structures, long-term public debt reduction, backed by improved division of powers in government.

Les discours sur l'équité salariale au Québec: Enjeux politique et théorique
Creators: name: Tourangeau, Stéphanie
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Sociology, Industrial and Labor Relations.

description: L'objectif principal de cette thèse est d'abord de documenter la teneur des discours de chacune des catégories d'acteurs impliquées dans le processus d'élaboration de la Loi québécoise en équité salariale (LES). En second lieu, la thèse vise à éclaircir dans quelle mesure la LES peut être décrite comme le reflet des discours portés par les différents acteurs présents aux audiences publiques d'août 1996 tenues par la Commission des affaires sociales. La méthodologie choisie pour ce faire combine une analyse de contenu et une analyse des arguments présentés par les acteurs présents lors des audiences publiques d'août 1996. Les résultats de l'analyse de contenu permettent de cerner les positions des groupes d'acteurs pour et contre la LES. L'analyse de discours, quant à elle, permet d'explorer certaines propriétés discursives des discours des acteurs et, de ce fait, contribue à étoffer l'analyse de contenu en ouvrant une fenêtre sur les rapports de pouvoir qui se sont institués entre ces derniers. En conclusion, la thèse soutient que la LES doit être comprise comme le fruit d'un assemblage de compromis réalisé par le législateur québécois.
Vegetative growth of grape-vine varieties under controlled temperature and light intensity

Year: 2017

description: Five commercial grape-vine varieties (Muscat Gordo Blanco, Rhine Riesling, Shiraz, Ohanez and Sultana) have been grown from rooted cuttings in controlled environment growth cabinets for 3 months. Measurements were made, after growth at different light intensities or temperatures, of plant dry weight, shoot length, node number and lateral growth. All varieties responded similarly to light intensity; only dry weights were affected by changes in light intensity. In respect of temperature, no variety grew well below 20° C, most reached optimum growth at about 25° C, and all tolerated temperatures up to 35° C very well. There were some minor differences between varieties. In respect of daylength, there was a range in short-day tolerance from Rhine Riesling (relatively intolerant) to Muscat Gordo Blanco (tolerant).

description: Mit diesem Beitrag sollte der Versuch unternommen werden, den internationalen Stand der Erntetechnik im Weinbau systematisch darzustellen. zusammenfassend muß festgestellt werden, daß wir trotz der vielen gezeigten Möglichkeiten der Mechanisierung der Erntearbeiten im Weinbau noch am Anfang dieser technischen Entwicklung stehen. Es ist noch eine Fülle von Aufgaben sowohl von Ingenieuren als auch von Biologen zu bewältigen. Die Schwierigkeiten liegen, gegenüber anderen landwirtschaftlichen Erntegütern darin, daß die Rebe wie auch die Trauben gegen mechanische Beanspruchungen sehr empfindlich und die Früchte an der Rebe sehr ungleichmäßig verteilt sind. Ein weiteres Problem stellen die unterschiedlichen Rebsorten, Erziehungs- und Unterstützungsformen sowie die verschiedenen Reihenabstände dar. Das erfordert in der Zukunft eine engere Zusammenarbeit von Biologen und Ingenieuren auf dem Gebiet der Biotechnik. Die Kenntnis der physikalischen, chemischen und biologischen Eigenschaften von Trauben und Reben ist für die Auswahl geeigneter Bauelemente der Erntemaschinen unerläßlich. Erfreulicherweise kann festgestellt werden, daß auch die deutsche Industrie Anschluß an den internationalen Stand der Technik auf diesem Gebiet gefunden hat.

description: Am 19. Dezember 2002, am Abend der Präsidentschaftswahl, versammelten sich viele Tausend junger Koreaner auf dem großen Platz vor dem Rathaus in Seoul - auf dem gleichen Platz, auf dem im Juni 2002 der Siegeszug der koreanischen Mannschaft bei der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft ausgelassen gefeiert worden war, aber auch auf dem Platz, auf dem seit Ende November 2002 immer wieder zigtausend Menschen Kerzen anzünden, um den Tod zweier Schulmädchen zu betrauern, die von einem amerikanischen Militärfahrzeug überfahren worden waren. Auf diesem Platz feierten sie nun den Sieg ihres Kandidaten Roh Moo Hyun. Es war eine Wahlparty. Genauso wie an den Abenden in Juni und seit November kamen diese jungen Menschen zusammen, weil dies jemand im Internet vorgeschlagen hatte. Sie feierten den Sieg von Roh Moo Hyun, den sie mitherbeigeführt hatten.

description: Vor gut zwei Jahren wurde vom damaligen südkoreanischen Präsidenten, Kim Dae Jung, eine Wahrheitskommission ins Leben gerufen, um "suspekte Todesfälle" zu klären, die sich unter der autoritären Herrschaft seiner Vorgänger ereigneten. Diese Aufgabe ist politisch wie auch rechtlich äußerst schwierig, denn Militärdiktaturen und andere repressive Regierungssysteme prägten einen großen Teil des koreanischen Lebens seit der von Außen aufgedrängten Teilung der Halbinsel am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Die Kommission hat vor kurzem ihre Arbeit beendet. Sie veröffentlichte auch den Schlussbericht über den wohl prominentesten der insgesamt dreiundachtzig Fälle: der Tod von Professor Tsche Chong-kil. Aus diesem Fall lassen sich auch einige äußerst interessante Folgerungen schließen über die Arbeit einer Kommission, die im Ausland bis anhin viel zu wenig Beachtung gefunden hat.

 Rhipidura setora (sic) tormenti Mathews, 1912e: 90 (Point Torment, North-west Australia).
 Now Rhipidura rufiventris isura Gould, 1841. See Watson and Mayr, 1986: 538, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 486–487.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 651227, adult male, collected at Point Torment, 17.01S, 123.35E (Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512), King Sound, Western Australia, Australia, on 3 April 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 1512). From the Mathews Collection (no. 8678) via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave ‘‘North-west Australia’’ as the range of the form. Paratypes are: AMNH 651228–651233, specimens collected by Rogers at Parrys Creek in 1908 and 1909 (Mathews catalog nos. 1800–1802, 1805, 1806, and 1809); specimens obtained from Conigrave, AMNH 651236 (Mathews no. 9863), King River, AMNH 651237 (13002), Barton River, and AMNH 651238 (13003), Admiralty Gulf; and a specimen obtained from G.F. Hill, AMNH 651239 (5752), Napier Broome Bay. A Mathews specimen collected by Bowyer-Bower in northwest Australia in 1886 was not cataloged by Mathews until May 1913; it is not considered a paratype, with tormenti having been published in September 1912. Other AMNH specimens from the Kimberley area were never part of Mathews’ collection.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Biomedical.

subject: Health Sciences, Medicine and Surgery.

description: The main thesis objective is to develop a Collaborative Tele-Haptic Surgery Simulation based on a generic system architecture for Collaborative Haptic Audio-visual Virtual Environments (C-HAVE) with integrated haptics and Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) object modeling. A haptic device is a kind of human computer interface that can generate tactile and force feedback to the users. Thus, the users can get the feel of 'touch' while manipulating the virtual objects. Three prototypes based on different architectures are quantitatively compared to demonstrate the effects of adding haptics to a task. In the generic system architecture, a Haptic Real-Time Controller (HRTC) is used to compensate the effects of network latency on the haptic coupling. A collaborative tele-haptic surgery simulation for tracheotomy is designed and implemented, based on the generic architecture. In our simulation, users from different physical locations are coupled together through haptic devices over some networks and operate collaboratively to perform the surgery. In addition, the simulation provides the functionality that a trainer can coach a trainee on how to perform the surgery successfully in a tele-mentoring manner. This thesis also contains in-depth overviews of virtual reality and haptic interfaces. The stability issue of haptic interaction with a virtual environment is discussed. Some software implemention issues of the virtual reality system are also included.

The association of ozone and fine particulate matter with mortality and hospital admissions in 12 Canadian cities
Creators: name: Farhat, Nawal
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Medicine and Surgery.

description: Many recent epidemiological studies have linked health effects with short-term exposure to air pollution levels commonly found in North America. The association of ozone and fine particulate matter with mortality and hospital admissions in 12 Canadian cities was explored in a time-series study. City-specific estimates were obtained by Poisson regression models adjusting for the confounding effects of seasonality and temperature. Estimates were then pooled across cities using the inverse variance method. Results suggest significant associations across all outcomes except cardiovascular hospital admissions. Generally, stronger associations were found among the elderly. Effect estimates were robust to adjustment for seasonality confounding but were sensitive to lag structures. Considering the large population exposed to air pollution, reductions in ozone and particulate matter would lead to considerable health benefits.

Thermal modelling of the Lina Battery
Creators: name: Heywood-Carr, Jordan
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: The project involves the thermal analysis of the Lina battery. Due to the high operating temperature, it is necessary to apply insulation to the battery model. Various types of insulation were applied at different thicknesses to give an idea of which performs the most effectively. Another part of the project involved applying heaters to the model; this is to maintain the high operating temperature when it is out of operation. An additional consideration that was taken into account is when the battery is running at high power. Therefore it is important to find a balance between keeping the battery hot and avoiding over-heating. The final part of the project involves bringing together battery packs into a system that would be suitable for an electric vehicle.

description: Nanotechnologia jest obecnie bardzo dynamicznie rozwijającą się interdyscyplinarną dziedziną nauki, która łączy takie dyscypliny, jak: fizyka, chemia, biologia, biotechnologia, medycyna, farmacja, informatyka oraz inżynieria. Jej celem jest opracowanie nowych technik wytwarzania materiałów o wymiarach nanometrycznych. Nanomateriały definiuje się jako substancje, które składają się z cząstek mających jeden lub więcej wymiarów w zakresie od 1 do 100 nm. Ponadto określoną substancję można nazwać nanomateriałem, gdy po rozdrobnieniu do rozmiarów nanometrycznych następują zmiany jej właściwości fizyczno-chemicznych w porównaniu z tą samą substancją w skali „makro”. Nanomateriały znajdują praktyczne zastosowanie w niemal wszystkich dziedzinach życia, również w ochronie środowiska. Ma to szczególne znaczenie, ponieważ rozwój przemysłu i działalność człowieka powodują rosnące zanieczyszczenie wody, gleb i powietrza.
