description: Καθώς ένα όχημα κινείται, αλληλεπιδρά με το πεδίο ροής του αέρα που το περιβάλλει. Η αλληλεπίδραση αυτή γίνεται εντονότερη με την πολυπλοκότητα και τη μη ομοιομορφία της γεωμετρίας του οχήματος και οδηγεί στη δημιουργία τυρβωδών φαινομένων, επηρεάζοντας έτσι την ομαλή κίνηση του οχήματος και προκαλώντας τη συνεχή διακύμανση των τιμών των πιέσεων και των ταχυτήτων της ροής. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία πραγματοποιείται αναλυτική αεροδυναμική μελέτη του πεδίου ροής του οχήματος Orca της ομάδας Poseidon Team, όπου αποτελεί ομάδα σχεδιασμού οχημάτων του Πανεπιστημίου Δυτικής Αττικής, ακολουθώντας την κατάλληλη πειραματική διαδικασία και προσομοίωση με βάση ένα μοντέλο RANS και συγκεκριμένα το μοντέλο τύρβης SST k - ω. Επιπλέον, μελετάται η αεροδυναμική συμπεριφορά του μοντέλου Orca με την προσθήκη 2 κτιρίων εκατέρωθεν αυτού. Όλη η διαδικασία και οι ιδιότητες του πεδίου ροής ρυθμίστηκαν και προσομοιώθηκαν σε περιβάλλον Ansys ICEM και Fluent και τα αποτελέσματα της μετα-επεξεργασίας παρουσιάστηκαν στο Tecplot 360.

description: The crustose coralline alga Lithophyllum stictiforme is an important reef builder, forming coralligenous concretions in the Mediterranean Sea. This algal species complex is composed of eight cryptic species (or clades). The objective of our study was to compare light-dependent physiological processes within and between the two most abundant cryptic species (C1 and C4) of L. stictiforme from the Bay of Marseille (France). Physiological rates of respiration, photosynthesis and calcification were measured using incubation chambers under various irradiance levels and in the dark during the summer period. We compared the physiology of the C1 and C4 cryptic species of L. stictiforme among three algal groups: C1 (the most common in the Marseille area) from 28 m depth, C4 from the same site and depth, and C1 from a deeper site at 45 m depth. We found both interspecific (between C1 and C4) and intraspecific (within C1) physiological differences. Photosynthetic parameters showed acclimation to light (or depth) with higher values of initial slope of photosynthetic light response curve (α) and lower values of saturating irradiance (Ek) and compensating irradiance (Ec) for C1 from 45 m than for C1 and C4 from 28 m depth. At the shallower depth, significant physiological differences were observed between C1 and C4 with a higher value of maximum rate of gross photosynthesis (Pg max) in C4, suggesting better ability to grow under high irradiance. Light and dark calcification rates differed only between C4 from 28 m and C1 from 45 m depth, being intermediate in C1 from 28 m depth. On a 24 h basis, diel net calcification rates were significantly higher in specimens from the shallower waters than from the deeper waters. Physiological differences suggest physiological plasticity within the regionally dominant cryptic species C1 and species-specific physiological traits between the cryptic species C1 and C4. Photosynthesis and calcification rates differ among Lithophyllum stictiforme cryptic species.The regionally dominant cryptic species exhibits light-dependent physiological plasticity.Physiological differences occur between cryptic species found in similar environments.

description: In this study, we conducted sea urchin removal (SUR) experiments at two sites along Hokkaido’s southwestern and northwestern coasts in the Sea of Japan and one site along the northeast coast in the Sea of Okhotsk, to elucidate the biomass balance between macroalgae and sea urchins at different urchin barren sites. The experiments resulted in the restoration of macroalgal biomass at all sites and an increase in macroalgal diversity, indicating that it was the impact of high grazing pressure reducing the macroalgae, regardless of the particular experimental site. Notably, the recovery of the macroalgal biomass was characterized by increased kelp biomass, including Saccharina japonica var. religiosa and S. japonica var. ochotensis. In addition, negative correlations were observed between macroalgal biomass and sea urchin density. The lowest sea urchin density inducing an increase of macroalgal biomass was approximately the same in the reproductive growth phase (0.1 kg m−2) and in the vegetative growth phase (0.15 kg m−2) of Saccharina spp., the dominant kelps, regardless of the experimental site. These values can be helpful indicators for managing sea urchin density in order to restore macroalgae. In contrast, the maximum sea urchin density inducing the lowest macroalgal biomass varied markedly depending on the study site, indicating that different levels of kelp productivity are influenced by oceanographic conditions. Moreover, a strong positive correlation was observed between macroalgal biomass and sea urchins’ gonadosomatic index (GSI). Based on this correlation, macroalgal biomass supporting sea urchins with commercial value (GSI ≥ 15%) was estimated to be 1.6 kg m−2. This sea urchin density value is also a helpful indicator for managing macroalgal biomass and commercially valuable sea urchins. Moreover, this value will depend on the influence of the oceanographic environment of the site, particularly the nutrient conditions, on macroalgal productivity. In addition, we have also discussed how macroalgae and sea urchins can best coexist at the experimental sites. Sea urchin removal (SUR) restored macroalgal biomass and diversity.Recovery of macroalgal biomass by SUR was characterized by kelps.Kelp biomass required to support the commercial sea urchin production was estimated.

description: Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) exhibit a wide diversity of sexual systems, reproductive modes and life histories. The evolution of this diversity has often involved transitions between sexual systems, which may influence genetic diversity and diversification, and phenotypic evolution. This study reports a novel sexual system in kelp. We identified male gametophyte strains of Laminaria pallida that, despite presenting morphological features typical of a male, developed both antheridia and egg-like structures, which suggest an incomplete suppression of femaleness during sexual determination of gametophytes. The sperm released by these variant male gametophytes successfully fertilize eggs produced by female gametophytes, developing into sporophytes with normal morphologies. However, morphologically abnormal sporophytic offspring were formed in isolated variant male gametophytes, indicating that the egg-like structures were not successfully self-fertilized by sperm. The causes of the unsuccessful intragametophytic selfing are unknown, but absence of pheromone production by the egg-like structures is a hypothesis suggested by available evidence. Partial co-sexuality is clearly inherited, as all male gametophyte strains descended from the same sporophyte developed egg-like structures. Further investigation into the genetics and maturation of male partheno-sporophytes will help to estimate the potential effects of this mechanism on natural populations. Morphologically typical male gametophytes in Laminaria pallida developed both antheridia and egg-like structures.Male sexual reproductive ability was retained by partially co-sexual L. pallida gametophytes.Partial co-sexuality appears to be heritable but varies between L. pallida individuals.

description: Benthic protist communities, including sand-dwelling dinoflagellates, are still poorly characterized worldwide and there is a lack of knowledge on their diversity and spatiotemporal dynamics. In this study, sediments were obtained from several coastal locations of the German Wadden Sea during the summer months of 2017 and 2018 to determine the diversity and spatiotemporal distribution of sand-dwelling dinoflagellates. The analyses consisted of light microscopy and the metabarcoding of small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene V4 region amplicons. Additionally, SSU rRNA sequences were newly obtained for 15 observed taxa included in a reference database and were used to taxonomically assign the obtained amplicon sequence variants (ASVs). The combination of morphological and molecular approaches allowed a deep characterization of dinoflagellate communities. Seventy-three morphospecies were detected by microscopy, while metabarcoding ASVs (amplicon sequence variants) were assigned to 116 species, resulting in a more comprehensive biodiversity inventory than achieved with either method alone. Pfiesteriaceae, Togula compacta and Thecadinium yashimaense predominated in the different sampling locations. Communities from Wilhelmshaven diverged from the others, consistent with its muddier sediment. A high level of resemblance was determined for the communities from each location, regardless of the sampling month and year, indicating a high summertime stability of benthic communities. Further efforts will be needed to characterize benthic protist diversity, as a first step in obtaining a complete picture of the habitat characteristics and physico-chemical conditions that influence benthic community composition. Metabarcoding and microscopy observations provide complementary results.Much of the diversity of sand-dwelling dinoflagellates is uncharacterized.Benthic dinoflagellate communities were stable at each location in summer.

Financing the Transition to a Sustainable Economy: Theory and Evidence
Creators: Barbalau, Adelina
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2021

SSHRC IG awarded 2022: Financial markets are playing an increasingly important role in the fight against climate change and other sustainability issues by allowing investors to finance projects that have positive sustainability outcomes. Despite the proliferation of securities on the sustainable finance market, two underlying debt contract types can be distinguished: 1) activity-based debt contracts, such as green bonds, which focus on specifying what the proceeds are going to be used for, with very little regard for outcomes, and 2) outcome-based debt contracts, such as sustainability-linked loans, which do not impose restrictions on the use of proceeds but instead embed contingencies that ensure commitment to target outcomes. In this research program, we will develop a theoretical model that explains the emergence of these two types of sustainable debt contract designs. Then, we will empirically test whether outcome-based contracts are effective in bringing about improvements in sustainability disclosure and performance.

Emotional Pathways to Climate Action
Creators: Davidson, Debra J
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2021

SSHRC IG awarded 2022: Moving the needle toward pro-climate action requires better understanding of the antecedents to personal and collective climate behavior. Our research questions include the following: 1. How do personal and intersectional attributes shape emotion-cognition pathways to climate change (in)action?, 2. Which emotional pathways support inaction, and which support action?, and 3. How does direct experience with disaster shape these emotional response pathways? We pursue just such a research program, prioritizing interdisciplinarity and intersectionality, with a multi-stage, sequential empirical study of the role of emotions in climate change responses among Canadians, including survey and experimental methods, and qualitative interviews with wildfire disaster survivors in British Columbia, focused on rural and Indigenous Canadians.
Race, Gender, Sexuality and Student Security: The School Resource Officer (SRO) Program in Canada
Creators: Oriola, Temitope B
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2021

SSHRC IG awarded 2022: The proposed research is concerned with the evolution of the School Resource Officer (SRO) program in Canada. It focuses on the experiences of persons with nexus to the SRO program. These include (1) students, (2) parents, (3) school administrators and board trustees, (4) teachers, (5) police officers and (6) activists for or against the program. The study is guided by four research questions: How has public support for the SRO program evolved in Canada? What do the experiences of stakeholders, particularly former and current students with SROs speak to in terms of race, gender, and LGBTQIA2S+ status? What are the factors influencing advocacy for or against the SRO program among parents, school administrators, board trustees and social activists? What are the implications of the findings from the questions above for educational and policing policy? The research draws on intersectionality and risk society theories to investigate the SRO phenomenon in Canada. It explores the role and intersection of race, gender, and sexuality in discourses about and experiences with SRO programs. This study will investigate the bureaucratic underpinnings of and policy directions regarding SRO programs in five Canadian cities: Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Charlottetown, and Montreal. One hundred participants who are associated with a past or current SRO program will be recruited at each site (500 persons overall) including parents, teachers, school administrators and trustees, police officers, activists for or against the program, and high-school students who identify as LGBTQIA2S+ status and/or have disabilities. Aside from interviews, there will be four focus group discussions that will be conducted with students at each site (20 students per site). The team will also conduct archival research and collect newspaper reports from the five sites as part of secondary research.

Wazaat?: Aging and Spontaneous Speech
Creators: Tucker, Benjamin
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2021

SSHRC IG awarded 2022: This project asks how does our ability to produce and understand conversational reduced speech change as speakers age at the phonetic, lexical, and phrasal levels? To address this research question this project proposes the creation of a cross-sectional (different age groups sampled at a similar time) speech corpus and the design of a series of perception experiments to investigate the effects of aging, context, and reduction. The first phase of the proposed project is to create a corpus of spontaneous aging speech. We will begin by recording speakers between the ages of 65 and 85, as well as a comparison group of 18- to 25-year-olds. The second phase of the corpus will expand the speaker groups to include speakers between the ages of 25 and 65. We will use the corpora to investigate differences between older and younger speakers. With the corpus data from the first phase of the corpus creation, we will use the speech from the corpus to conduct listening experiments that investigate how older and younger listeners understand speech and make use of context to better understand speech at the phonetic, lexical, and phrase levels.

Bilingual Development in Children with Special Education Needs: Minority and Majority Language Contexts
Creators: Paradis, Johanne C
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2021

SSHRC IG awarded 2022: The research proposes to take a tripartite approach to understanding the sources of successes and challenges in the bilingual development of Special Education Needs (SENs). Research will take place in Ottawa and Edmonton; Research in the non-elective bilingual and elective bilingual streams of this program will consist of three components: (1) CONTEXT: administrative data from school boards will be gathered and analysed to understand the demographics, special education delivery and academic outcomes relevant to non-elective and elective bilingual SENs. (2) PERSPECTIVES: semi-structured interviews and questionnaires with parents and education team members will yield information about beliefs in the capacity of SENs for dual language learning, facilitators and barriers in support services, and recommendations for change. (3) DIRECT ASSESSMENT of individual SENs will be done in their majority and minority languages (phonology vocabulary, grammar and story-telling skills). Children's ages, cognitive abilities, and language input and experience outside school will be used to determine what factors contribute to stronger or weaker outcomes in individual children's development of their minority first language (L1) and English as a majority second language (L2). Comparisons across streams and components will be made where possible.
PRESERVICE TEACHERS' CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE LITERACY TEACHING SELF-EFFICACY CHANGES IN THE FIELD EXPERIENCE

Subjects: Teacher education and professional development of educators

description: This study examined preservice teachers’ culturally responsive literacy teaching self-efficacy changes during the field experiences in relation to the sources of self-efficacy. I delved into the meanings under the theoretical frameworks of culturally responsive teaching and social cognitive theory. I explored 84 preservice teachers’ experiences over three semesters, who have been working with K-5 students from diverse backgrounds. Mixed-methods explanatory sequential design was adopted. In the quantitative phase, I administered a culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy survey before and after the field experiences. Additionally, sources of self-efficacy were studied using a source of self-efficacy inventory scale. Results of the quantitative study indicated that four different types of clusters exist: self-efficacy increased, self-efficacy high-stable, self-efficacy decreased, self-efficacy low-stable. In the qualitative phase, I investigated one preservice teacher from each cluster. This phase shed light on the reasons for the different self-efficacy change patterns among the preservice teachers. Findings from both phases (quantitative, qualitative) have implications: 1. It is crucial for both teacher educators and preservice teachers to understand their culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy and its changes. 2. Culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy and the sources of self-efficacy display reciprocal interaction. An awareness is critical of how preservice literacy teachers’ experiences in the field affects their culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy and other sources of self-efficacy. In light of the findings of the current study, teacher educators may wish to consider helping preservice teachers form informed and realistic culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy.

From the Voices of Children: An Exploration of Children’s Attitudes Toward Singing in a Pandemic-Weary World
Creators: Ries, Linda Ardelle
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

SSHRC IDG awarded 2022: Singing is in a vulnerable state as a result of the pandemic. Given the immense benefits that singing affords children on developmental physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual levels, a world without singing will also impact the general health and well­being for all. FVC will assess first­hand, mid­pandemic attitudes toward singing as expressed by children themselves. Year One will focus on the collection and analysis of quantitative data gathered from general singing survey responses provided by child participants (age 6­12, n=250­500) recruited from rural and urban settings in school, private studio, and community choir contexts representing each geographic region in the province of Alberta. The survey will be supplemented by one-­on-­one interviews with a smaller cohort of study participants selected to provide deeper qualitative data for subsequent analysis. With singing advocacy in mind, at the end of Year One, study participants will be encouraged to participate in a children's choir project in collaboration with Alberta's provincial choral service organization, Choir Alberta. Year Two will be dedicated to continued data compilation and analysis, manuscript preparation, conference presentation, and the creation of an advocacy documentary film based on audio and video recordings drawn from interviews and the children’s choir project.
THE PRODUCTION OF HONO FROM THE REACTION BETWEEN NO2 AND AMINOFLUROPHENOL: AN EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL STUDY

description: Nitrous acid (HONO) is a well-known source of the atmospheric hydroxyl (OH) radical. Humic acid has been found to be a source of HONO when reacted with NO2 and is composed of many linked aromatic rings, some of which have amino and hydroxyl substituents. Both theoretical and experimental studies have shown that aminophenols react with NO2 to produce HONO. In this thesis, the reactions of NO2 with 2-aminophenol, a series of aminofluorophenol isomers, and 2-amino-4-methoxyphenol were studied experimentally, using long path cell Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). All reactions studied experimentally produced HONO in a 6 (2-amino-4-methoxyphenol) : 3 (2-amino-5-fluorophenol, 2-amino-6-fluorophenol) : 1 (2-amino-4-fluorophenol, 4-amino-3-fluorophenol, 4-amino-2-fluorophenol) ratio. Theoretical calculations were performed for direct NO2 abstraction of a H atom from both the hydroxy group (pathway 1) and the amino group (pathway 2) for all aminofluorophenol isomers, 2-aminophenol and 2-amino-4-methoxyphenol, using density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP and a 6-31+G* basis set. For pathway 1, the NO2 reactions with the 2-amino and 4-amino compounds were spontaneous and had low activation energies. For pathway 2, the NO2 reactions with 2-amino compounds were non-spontaneous (ΔG°) but had low activation energies; these particular reactions involved both the amino and hydroxy groups bonding with NO2 in the transition state and do occur at early times due to the lack of products (spontaneous non-standard ΔG). At later times these reactions most likely continue to occur due to the loss of products and/or coupling reactions. The overall theoretical results agree with the experimental findings that the NO2 reactions with 2-amino and 4-amino compounds produce HONO. In general, these NO2 reactions appear to be under kinetic control, and both pathways contribute to HONO production.
