Parent-spectatorship in minor ice hockey
Creators: name: Weir, Carolynne S

Subjects: subject: Psychology, Behavioral.
subject: Recreation.

description: Over recent years there have been isolated incidents of parental-spectator misconduct at minor hockey games that have received national media attention. To appreciate this social phenomenon in Canadian rinks, it is imperative to grasp the significance of the parent-child relationship to parent-spectatorship and the experienced emotions of parent-spectatorship. Located within a conceptual framework informed by theories of emotion (Lazarus, 1966, 1991, 1999; Weiner, 1977, 1980b, 1980a, 2006) and parent-child bond (Bowlby, 1982, 1999), this exploratory-based study delves further into the emotional experience encompassing parents' relationship with their children and the consequences it may have on spectator behaviour. Results indicate that participants encounter a multitude of emotions as a consequence of being both parent and spectator simultaneously. The present study also responds to an apparent lacuna of research currently investigating parent-spectator misconduct. In doing so it provides insights that may assist scholars and sport practitioners wishing to create safe and enjoyable environments for parents to watch their children engage in sport.

description: It is well known that the full matrix ring over a skew-field is a simple ring. We generalize this theorem to the case of semirings. We characterize the case when the matrix semiring $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$, of all $n\times n$ matrices over a semiring $S$, is congruence-simple, provided that either $S$ has a multiplicatively absorbing element or $S$ is commutative and additively cancellative.

Creators: name: Liu, Weitao
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Economics, Commerce-Business.
subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: China has become the "world factory". In year 2007, China stood as one of the largest economy in the world. Since China started its economic reform in the 1978, its export increased significantly and the country has become more and more important to the global economy. As Chinese Smalls and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) represent a large part of Chinese economy and China's export, it's important to take a close look to the role they play in international trade and the problems they are facing. The purpose of this research is to define to what extent existing e-Marketplaces in China are able to respond to problems perceived by Chinese exporting SMEs' executives. A review of background information of Chinese international trade, the status of Chinese SMEs and Chinese export process, was conducted to identify the potential problems of SMEs in their export business are exposed. Based on these results, field research was conducted to identify the problems perceived by Chinese exporting SMEs' executives. Following the analysis of the data collected from the field research, a comparative analysis of China's existing e-Marketplaces was conducted. Various criteria where defined in order to evaluate Chinese existing e-Marketplaces and their capacity to resolve the problems identified by SMEs' executives. Finally, guidelines for a business plan that allow defining what should e-Marketplaces do to help Chinese SMEs solve their problems for exporting is presented.
title: Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Droplet Formation and Material Interactions Under Different Conditions
Creators: name: Al-Badani, K
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2022

description: This work focused on developing a framework of numerical models for simulating the formation of droplet under different situations. The formation of a pendant droplet was studied through an integrated experimental, numerical and theoretical procedures, establishing the key factors influencing the dynamics of a pendant droplet and examining key material parameters such as the density, viscosity, wetting coefficient and surface tension. A numerical model was developed using the volume of fluid (VOF) solver in ANSYS FLUENT and validated using qualitative and quantitative approaches (e.g. droplet shape, length, volume, separation time). The numerical data was correlated with an analytical solution based on pressure and velocity data from a mathematical approach and experimental; works on model materials with different properties. The program has been used to establish a range of models relevant to industrial processes, including droplet for semifluid material systems, formation of satellite droplets, merging of droplets from two inlets at an angle, multiphase liquid in micro channels and generating droplets smaller than the nozzles diameter through using a code to control the flowrate and cycles. The data from the numerical models is also coded into Matlab to automatically plot the contour and calculate the volume of the droplet. Some cases in the modelling of merging of liquid in welding of thin tubes, effect of contact angles on liquid dripping and use of numerical modelling in microchannel design, are also evaluated and key results are presented. The interaction between liquid droplet with a homogenous material and a matrix with an embedded thin stiffer layer is studied in comparison to a similar loading situation with rigid indenters of different shapes. A particular focus has been on the effect of material properties (Negative Possion’s ratio and layer depth) on the enhancement of the indentation resistance and material deformation. The FE results are correlated with an analytical solution for homogenous materials and results from a mathematical approach for embedded systems in an elastic half-space. The influence of auxeticity (i.e. negative Poisson’s ratio) on the indentation stiffness ratio between systems with an inserted layer against a homogenous matrix (no reinforcement) is established. The deformation of the embedded system under different conditions (indenter size, thickness and embedment depth of the embedded layer) is presented and key mechanisms of the Poisson’s ratio effect are highlighted

"The 'fightin'est' Canadian general:" Brigadier Christopher Vokes and his approach to military command, June 1942 -- August 1943
Creators: name: Case, G. Christopher
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: History, Canadian.

description: This thesis evaluates the manner in which Brigadier Christopher Yokes dealt with the technical and human aspects of command while commanding the 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade from 25 June 1942 until the end of the Sicilian campaign in August 1943. It seeks to promote a greater understanding of brigade-level command and to rehabilitate Vokes's reputation as a commander, which has largely been based on certain negative personality traits. The author argues that Yokes was a successful commander because he maintained a good balance between technical skills such as planning and directing operations and his ability to understand, motivate, and lead soldiers, and because his actions were guided by a sound philosophy of command based on personal leadership and teamwork. These elements allowed Christopher Yokes to train and lead a highly effective and cohesive fighting force that defeated some of Germany's best troops in the physically demanding environment of the Sicilian battlefield.

Secure and anonymous routing in wireless ad-hoc networks
Creators: name: Li, Xu
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: In wireless ad-hoc networks, malicious nodes can constitute a threat to the security and/or anonymity of the exchanged data between communicating nodes. While data encryption can protect traffic content, plain routing headers may reveal valuable information about end nodes and their relationship. The main purposes of this thesis are to study the feasibility of achieving anonymity in wireless ad-hoc networks, and to propose a secure distributed anonymous routing protocol (SDAR), which is similar to the onion routing concept used in wired networks. SDAR employs a special mechanism to establish trust among wireless nodes and to avoid untrustworthy ones during route discovery processes. The major objective of SDAR is to allow only trustworthy nodes to participate in route construction without jeopardizing the anonymity of communicating nodes. In this thesis, we elaborate on the SDAR protocol and report on its performance evaluation using an extensive set of simulation experiments; last but not least, we present the preliminary work we have done on an agent-based trust and reputation management scheme (ATRM) for wireless sensor networks.

Modification de la perception tactile des formes chez la population âgée
Creators: name: Manning, Hélène
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Recreation.

description: Le vieillissement s'accompagne généralement d'un déclin des capacités sensorielles. Le présent travail visait donc à déterminer comment la perception tactile des formes est modifiée avec l'âge. Quarante-cinq sujets ont été recrutés et répartis en deux groupes d'âge. Les sujets devaient explorer activement des stimuli de différentes complexités spatiales soit de simples grillages, soit des lettres en relief comme stimulus complexe avec la pulpe de l'index de la main dominante. Pour les formes simples, les sujets devaient répondre si le grillage était orienté verticalement ou horizontalement selon l'axe du doigt. Pour les formes complexes, les sujets devaient identifier la lettre présentée. Les résultats ont montré que le groupe âge exhibait un déclin marqué dans la capacité à discriminer des formes tactilement, et que ce déclin était encore plus marqué dans le cas des formes complexes. Le facteur "âge" constituait la principale source de variance expliquant la performance de discrimination de formes et un impact différentiel de l'âge pour la performance dans les deux tâches a également été révélé. Il existait aussi un lien étroit entre les seuils de résolution spatiale estimés avec des grillages et la capacité à identifier des lettres tactilement. Enfin, des différences qualitatives ont aussi été observées entre les deux groupes dans les patrons d'identification pour la reconnaissance de lettres. Ces données confirment que la perception tactile des formes est grandement affectée par le vieillissement normal et le fait que la discrimination de formes complexes montre un déclin plus important que celle de formes simples suggère que des altérations additionnelles sont présentés au niveau du traitement central de l'information tactile spatiale dans le vieillissement normal.

name: Mulyanegara, Riza Casidy
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Over the past two decades, the topic of nation brands has attracted the interest of academics, researchers, and policy markers alike. Governments in particular have used the concept of nation brands to attract support from international audiences. This study developed a conceptual framework of donation behaviour with nation brand perceptions as a mediating variable between donation motives and donation behaviour. The framework proposes that people's perception of a nation's brand will have significant implications on the willingness and extent of contribution to a charitable cause associated with the nation.

description: In closed angled Glaucoma, fluid pressure in the eye increases because of inadequate fluid flow between the iris and the cornea. One important technique to assess patients at risk of glaucoma is to analyze ultrasound images of the eye to detect abnormal structural changes. Currently, these images are analyzed manually. This thesis presents an algorithm to automatically identify and measure clinically important features in ultrasound images of the eye. The main challenge is stable detection of features in the presence of ultrasound speckle noise; an algorithm is developed to address this using multiscale analysis and template matching. Tests were performed by comparison of results with eighty images of glaucoma patients and normals against the feature locations identified by a trained technologist. In 5% of cases, the algorithm could not analyze the images; in the remaining cases, features were correctly identified (within 97.5 mum) in 97% of images. This work shows promise as a technique to improve the efficiency of clinical interpretation of ultrasound images of the eye.
Are Suicidal Behaviors Contagious in Adolescence? : Using Longitudinal Data to Examine Suicide Suggestion
Creators: name: Abrutyn, Seth
name: Mueller, Anna S.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Though Durkheim argued that strong social relationships protect individuals from suicide, we posit that these relationships have the potential to increase individuals’ vulnerability when they expose them to suicidality. Using three waves of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we evaluate whether new suicidal thoughts and attempts are in part responses to exposure to the suicide attempts of role models, specifically friends and family. We find that the suicide attempts of role models do in fact trigger new suicidal thoughts and in some cases attempts, even after significant controls are introduced. Moreover, we find that these effects fade with time, that girls are more vulnerable to them than boys, and that the relationship to the role model—for teenagers at least—matters. Friends appear to be more salient role models for both boys and girls. Our findings suggest that exposure to suicidal behaviors in significant others may teach individuals new ways to deal with emotional distress, namely by becoming suicidal. This reinforces the idea that the structure – and content – of social networks conditions their role in preventing suicidality. Specifically, social ties can be conduits of not just social support, but also anti-social behaviors, like suicidality.
Understanding the determinants of blood use in orthopaedics: A review of the literature and a theory based exploration of the factors influencing the decision to transfuse
Creators: name: Born, Jennifer Anne
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Epidemiology.

description: Inappropriate transfusions overexpose patients to the risk of transfusions. The objective of this thesis was to better understand the determinants of watching and waiting instead of transfusing red blood cells among orthopaedic surgeons using 1) a systematic review of interventions to reduce inappropriate transfusions; 2) interviews with orthopaedic surgeons; and 3) a theory based predictive survey of transfusion intentions and behaviour. The results of the systematic review suggest that the literature is insufficient to determine the effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce inappropriate blood transfusions. The interviews with surgeons identified six theories potentially relevant to our behaviour. The analysis of the survey identified the Theory of Planned Behaviour as the best predictor of intention to transfuse, accounting for 37% variation. These findings can be used to support the development of a theory based knowledge translation intervention to improve appropriate use of blood transfusions by Canadian orthopaedic surgeons.
High-Resolution Carbon Isotope Stratigraphy of the Ordovician-Silurian Boundary on Anticosti Island, Quebec: Regional and Global Implications

subject: Geochemistry.

description: The end-Ordovician was a critical time in Earth history and marked the occurrence of a mass extinction and a period of continental glaciation. The Ellis Bay Formation on Anticosti Island in Quebec represents up to 100 meters of relatively undisturbed, continuous, low latitude, shallow water carbonate ramp deposits that span the Hirnantian Stage and terminate close to the Ordovician-Silurian (O-S) boundary. In this study, approximately 400 samples of micritic limestones were collected from six Ellis Bay sections ranging from the basin margin to more distal basin center of the Anticosti Basin. delta13C and delta18O isotopic ratios were measured from these samples and integrated within a recently proposed framework of sequence stratigraphy and biostratigraphy for the Ellis Bay Formation. The measured delta13C values in most sections show a positive excursion (∼2‰) in the lower Ellis Bay Formation followed by a larger excursion (∼4‰) in the upper Ellis Bay Formation. The delta 13C profile of the Ellis Bay Formation on Anticosti Island exhibits a pattern similar to those of other profiles in graptolite-rich Hirnantian basinal successions from the rest of the world. The delta13C record on Anticosti Island is not consistent with predictions and observations based on current models that describe the state and evolution of the global carbon cycle during the Late Ordovician.

The complementary form is integral, not quantized, of vortex origin. It violates the laws of thermodynamics and entropy, e ects the theory of phase transitions, Brownian motion, can strongly change the borders of matter stability, and gives rise to the quantum physics with its e ects and super currents in equilibrium.

description: Background: CD248 is a cell surface glycoprotein, highly expressed by stromal cells and fibroblasts of tumors and inflammatory lesions, but virtually undetectable in healthy adult tissues. CD248 promotes tumorigenesis, while lack of CD248 in mice confers resistance to tumor growth. Mechanisms by which CD248 is downregulated are poorly understood, hindering the development of anti-cancer therapies. Methods We sought to characterize the molecular mechanisms by which CD248 is downregulated by surveying its expression in different cells in response to cytokines and growth factors. Results Only transforming growth factor (TGFβ) suppressed CD248 protein and mRNA levels in cultured fibroblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. TGFβ transcriptionally downregulated CD248 by signaling through canonical Smad2/3-dependent pathways, but not via mitogen activated protein kinases p38 or ERK1/2. Notably, cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF) and cancer cells were resistant to TGFβ mediated suppression of CD248. Conclusions The findings indicate that decoupling of CD248 regulation by TGFβ may contribute to its tumor-promoting properties, and underline the importance of exploring the TGFβ-CD248 signaling pathway as a potential therapeutic target for early prevention of cancer and proliferative disorders.

description: Cette étude s'adresse à la (de)construction identitaire masculine qui est fictionalisée dans Le pavillon des miroirs de Sergio Kokis. J'adopte une approche féministe, qui permettra d'aborder la notion du genre sexuel, et j'utilise également une analyse postcoloniale afin d'identifier les divers contextes historiques et culturels et de leurs influences sur l'identité masculine dans le roman. Ce roman me semble pertinent grâce à sa mise en fiction d'un narrateur masculin qui se cherche et se questionne, se reconnaissant dans plusieurs cultures. Le fait de se trouver entre deux cultures, entre deux espaces, et ce malgré les difficultés que cela entraîne, permet d'avoir une perspective nouvelle, de jeter ainsi un regard neuf sur les deux lieux. Derrière la façade du privilège masculin se trouve, j'en soulève l'hypothèse, des ambiguïtés profondes qui indiqueraient probablement, non seulement un discours défensif et anti-féministe, mais aussi une envie authentique de contestation. La lectrice féministe se doit de reconnaître l'anxiété et l'angoisse qui se trouve à la base du patriarcat et au centre de la voix narrative de Kokis.

A trust model with statistical foundation

Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: The widespread use of the Internet signals the need for a better understanding of trust as a basis for secure on-line interaction. In the face of increasing uncertainty and risk, users and machines must be allowed to reason effectively about the trustworthiness of other entities. In this thesis, we propose a trust model that assists users and machines with decision-making in online interactions by using past behavior as a predictor of likely future behavior. We develop a general method to automatically compute trust based on self-experience and the recommendations of others. Our trust model solves the problem of recommendation combination and detection of unfair recommendations. Our approach involves data analysis methods (Bayesian estimation, Dirichlet distribution), and machine learning methods (Weighted Majority Algorithm). Furthermore, we apply our trust model to several utility models to increase the accuracy of decision-making in different contexts of Web Services. We describe simulation experiments to illustrate its effectiveness, robustness and the evolution of trust.

Part A Development of a Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer assay or high throughput screening for catalysts in the desymmetrization of meso substrates Part B Application of hydrazide based catalyst in Friedel-Crafts alkylation

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Analytical.

description: Highthroughput methods have been increasingly applied to catalyst screening, however, efforts to use these for enantioselective measures are still lacking. We propose to apply Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) as a highthroughput screening method to fulfill such a purpose. This concept is applied to the desymmetrization of meso substrates. The meso compound will be equipped with a recognition element for catalyst binding, two different fluorescence donor molecules to distinguish between the chiral centres and also a fluorescence acceptor molecule to suppress fluorescence. Upon catalytic hydrolysis, the fluorescence acceptor molecules will be discharged into solution and thus can be detected by use of a spectrophotometer. As each donor molecule has a characteristic fluorescence emission wavelength, measuring the respective fluorescence intensities will ultimately allow for one to rapidly determine the enantiomeric excess. Efforts towards establishing this FRET based assay are discussed herein.* *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams.

description: There has been widespread support for harm reduction programs as an essential component for responding to the HIV and illicit drug use epidemics. However, despite the growing international acceptance of harm reduction, there continues to be strong opposition to this approach, with critics alleging that harm reduction programs enable drug use. Vancouver, Canada provides a compelling case study that demonstrates that many positive impacts of harm reduction can be attained while addiction treatment-related goals are simultaneously supported. While the evidence for harm reduction is clearly mounting, it is unfortunate that ideological and political barriers to implementing harm reduction programs in Canada remain. As evidenced by Vancouver and elsewhere, harm reduction programs do not exacerbate drug use and undermine treatment efforts and should thereby occupy a well-deserved space within the continuum of programs and services offered to people who inject drugs.

Distributed Real Time Algorithms and Design Concepts for Next Generation Survivable Optical Networks

description: Motivated by the rapid growth of the internet, the increasing demand and the nature of traffic, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is now beginning to expand from a network core technology towards the metropolitan and access networks. However, huge amount of data can be lost and large numbers of users can be disrupted during the times of failure in WDM optical networks. Therefore, a reliable optical layer that can quickly and efficiently respond to failures, such as fiber cuts, is a critical issue to users and service providers. The major challenge in survivable mesh networks is the design of distributed management protocols and resource allocation algorithms that allocate network resources efficiently and are able to quickly recover from a failure. This issue is particularly more challenging in optical networks operating under distributed control, where there is no global information available; and under wavelength continuity constraint, where the same wavelength must be assigned on all links in the selected path. This thesis presents a number of new distributed protocols and algorithms to solve these challenges. The second part of this thesis provides new distributed frameworks to support Quality of Service (QoS) differentiation. These frameworks provide differentiated protection services to meet customers' availability requirements effectively. We describe the availability-analysis for connections with different protection schemes. Through this analysis, we show how connection availability is affected by resource sharing. Based on the availability analysis, the proposed framework provisions each connection in which an appropriate level of protection is provided according to its predefined availability requirement. We consider the networks without wavelength conversion capability as well as dynamic traffic environment. In these distributed frameworks we propose several distributed schemes to provision and manage connections cost-effectively while satisfying the existing and new connections availability requirements.
The Offence Progression in Sexual Offenders: An Examination of the Self-Regulation Model of the Offence Process

description: The self-regulation model is an offence process model designed specifically for sexual offenders. It was developed as a result of theoretical and practical problems with the traditional relapse prevention approach to sexual offender treatment and from empirical evidence identifying variability in the offence chain among sexual offenders. The self-regulation model is a nine-phase process with four distinct pathways to sexual offending that represent the combination of offence-related goals (approach versus avoidance) and self-regulatory strategies selected to achieve the goal (passive/automatic versus active/explicit). In the present study, I evaluated the validity and utility of the self-regulation model in a sample of275 adult male sexual offenders treated within the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). First, the concurrent validity of the study variables utilized as part of the overall assessment battery was examined in order to elucidate the relationships among the various treatment needs targeted by the CSC's sexual offender programs. Following this, differences among individuals following diverse self-regulation pathways were investigated, as was, within-treatment change following participation in CSC's sexual offender programs. Results showed that self-regulation pathway was differentially associated with risk to re-offend and several treatment needs. Finally, in terms of post-treatment change, moderate to large sized improvements were noted for dynamic risk assessment measures as well as several self-reported treatment targets. These changes were, in some cases, differentially associated with self-regulation pathway, suggesting that offence pathway is a clinically relevant variable when evaluating treatment change and in conceptualizing sexual offender treatment. Implications of these findings for the effective assessment and rehabilitation of sexual offenders are discussed.

Cell carriers for systemic delivery of oncolytic viruses

description: There is a clear need for novel therapeutics that can improve the treatment of metastatic cancers. Conditionally replicative oncolytic viruses represent one promising class of new agents that have garnered recent attention in laboratory and clinical studies. While much success has been achieved in targeting the replication and cytolytic effects of viruses to tumor cells, systemic delivery remains a major challenge. We have developed a murine tumor model in order to investigate potential obstacles to systemic delivery of oncolytic viruses in an immunocompetent host. We find that the in vivo delivery of naked virus particles to tumors is ablated by the humoral antiviral response elicited during repeated therapeutic administration. In contrast, live cell carriers avoid neutralization and deliver oncolytic virus to tumor beds in the presence of high-titer circulating antibodies. We investigated the properties of various mammalian cell lines as oncolytic virus carriers, and conclude with studies of a novel insect cell carrier system. The unique properties of this insect cell carrier platform make it an attractive technology for immediate clinical use as well as continued refinement in the lab.
A Model of Continuity of Care in the Context of Women's Mental Health: An Exploratory Study of an Interprofessional Team Approach to Eating Disorders

description: Objectives The overall goal of this research was to study continuity of care in the context of team based care delivery to support adolescent women's mental health issues, specifically Anorexia or Bulimia. I used the three concepts of continuity of care described by Haggerty et al. (2003): relational, managerial and informational continuity, to develop an exploratory model of continuity of care for women's mental health. To research question was how are health care professionals providing continuity of care and collaborative patient centred care in the case of adolescent/women's mental health as represented by the eating disorders, anorexia and bulimia. Methods Data collection took place in the eating disorder program in a tertiary care paediatric hospital. The study included 36 participants including: psychiatrists, family physicians, psychologists, nurses, dietician, child and youth counsellors, medical and psychological interns and residents, and art therapist. Data sources included non participant observation of team meetings (approximately 20 hours) of inpatient, day hospital and outpatient clinics as well as 10 semi-structured interviews with health care professionals. Constructivist Grounded theory method was used to analyze the data. Results In terms of the continuity of care and how it unfolds, the three types work in a cyclical process. It starts with informational continuity, with the team learning with and from the patient. Once all the information is put together managerial continuity begins to form, as does relational continuity. When the patient is close to discharge informational continuity increases within the team, as well as between the family and different actors in the community. From the constructivist grounded theory analysis, fives themes emerged as dimensions that impact continuity of care: political, clinical, social, financial, and geographical. Conclusion The professionals can better understand the process of continuity within their team. There is now empirical evidence on the interaction of the types of continuity. At the policy level, the types of remuneration played a role in the process of continuity. Next steps include clarifying the patient perspective.

description: Gesture synthesis has gained significant attention as a critical research field, aiming to produce contextually appropriate and natural gestures corresponding to speech or textual input. Although deep learning-based approaches have achieved remarkable progress, they often overlook the rich semantic information present in the text, leading to less expressive and meaningful gestures. In this letter, we propose GesGPT, a novel approach to gesture generation that leverages the semantic analysis capabilities of large language models , such as ChatGPT. By capitalizing on the strengths of LLMs for text analysis, we adopt a controlled approach to generate and integrate professional gestures and base gestures through a text parsing script, resulting in diverse and meaningful gestures. Firstly, our approach involves the development of prompt principles that transform gesture generation into an intention classification problem using ChatGPT. We also conduct further analysis on emphasis words and semantic words to aid in gesture generation. Subsequently, we construct a specialized gesture lexicon with multiple semantic annotations, decoupling the synthesis of gestures into professional gestures and base gestures. Finally, we merge the professional gestures with base gestures. Experimental results demonstrate that GesGPT effectively generates contextually appropriate and expressive gestures.
Charitable bequests: leaving a lasting legacy

description: We Australians respond rapidly and generously to humanitarian crises. We also support charities on a regular basis. The most recent data available from the Australian Taxation Office shows that in the 2009–10 financial year, some 4.4 million Australians (35.6 per cent of all taxpayers) made and claimed tax-deductible donations; just short of $2 billion. A broader review of charitable giving conducted on behalf of the Australian Government has estimated that approximately 90 per cent of adult Australians make some form of monetary charitable gift over the course of one year. Such a high participation rate in charitable giving is something we can be proud of.
