description: We present a new approach to studying the evolution of massive black hole binaries in a stellar environment. By imposing conservation of total energy and angular momentum in scattering experiments, we find the dissipation forces that are exerted on the black holes by the stars, and thus obtain the decaying path of the binary from the classical dynamical friction regime down to subparsec scales. Our scheme lies between scattering experiments and N-body simulations. While still resolving collisions between stars and black holes, it is fast enough and allows to use a large enough number of particles to reach a smooth and convergent result. We studied both an equal mass and a 10:1 mass ratio binaries under various initial conditions. We show that while an equal mass binary stalls at a nearly circular orbit, a runaway growth of eccentricity occurs in the unequal mass case. This effect reduces the timescale for black hole coalescence through gravitational radiation to well below the Hubble time, even in spherical and gasless systems formed by dry mergers.

description: Advanced data technologies are permeating the healthcare environment, yet little is known about the role of learning in these change events. Literature on advances of data science for use in healthcare predominantly focuses on the computational and analytic methods, barriers and benefits, as well as the potential impact on the industry and professional roles. Few studies have explored health professionals’ experiences and perspectives on the integration of data science technologies in practice. In this qualitative, descriptive case study, I explored the experiences of 16 health professionals who had a role in a change event related to a cardiac registry project in western Canada. Study participants included project team members, clinicians, research collaborators, and academic and clinical institution staff and leaders. Semi-structured interviews were used to explore the experiences of participants to better understand the conditions that shaped the change event, the learning strategies employed, and the factors that contributed to the successful adoption of innovation. Findings from the study revealed that people play a central role in the success of a change event and project implementation. While three additional themes emerged from the data, namely the environment, learning, and innovation, it was the individuals, teams, and relationships that function within those elements that were critical to the success of the registry project. The results of this work provided insight into the necessary conditions to support successful adoption of advanced data technologies and guided recommendations for future change events.

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht die komplexe Beziehung zwischen Wien und dem kommunalen Wohnbau, welcher durch den Begriff "Gemeindebau" verkörpert wird und einen integralen Bestandteil der historischen Erzählung der Stadt darstellt. Während das etablierte Verständnis darauf hindeutet, dass die Produktionvon kommunalem Wohnraum nach dem Niedergang des Roten Wiens in der Zeit zwischen 1934 und 1945 zum Stillstand kam, ist es wichtig anzumerken, dass der städtische Wohnungsbau während dieser Übergangszeit fortgesetzt wurde. Mit Fokus auf die Jahre 1934 bis 1945 zielt diese Studie darauf ab, die Formation und Transformation des kommunalen Wohnbaus der näheren Betrachtung zu unterziehen, wobei gleichzeitig Licht auf die nuancierten Dynamiken gelenkt wird, die die Herangehensweise der Stadt an den Wohnungsbau inmitten historischer und politischer Veränderungen geprägt haben.
description: This work delves into the intricate relationship between Vienna and municipal housing, encapsulated by the term Gemeindebau, which serves as an integral element in the city's historical narrative. While conventional understanding suggests a halt in municipal housing production following the decline of Red Vienna in the time period between 1934 and 1945, it is crucial to acknowledge the continuation of municipal housing initiatives during this transitional period. With a focus on the years 1934 to 1945, this study aims to examine closely the formation and transformation of municipal housing, simultaneously shedding light on the nuanced dynamics that have defined the city's approach to housing amidst historical and political changes.The concluding evaluation aims to draw a comparative analysis between the outcomes of this study and the achievements of municipal housing in Red Vienna.

description: We discuss a (2+1) dimensional topological superconductor with $N_f$ left- and right-moving Majorana edge modes and a $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. In the absence of interactions, these phases are distinguished by an integral topological invariant $N_f$. With interactions, the edge state in the case $N_f=8$ is unstable against interactions, and a $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant mass gap can be generated dynamically. We show that this phenomenon is closely related to the modular invariance of type II superstring theory. More generally, we show that the global gravitational anomaly of the non-chiral Majorana edge states is the physical manifestation of the bulk topological superconductors classified by $\mathbb{Z}_8$.

description: The evolution of process automation has led to corresponding improvements in operating efficiency, production output, and running costs across each industrial revolution, with the 4th one on the horizon. Achieving this requires connecting Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) to the Internet; however, combined with historically insecure protocols and increasingly sophisticated threat actors, this makes ICSs a prime target for cyberattacks. Anomaly detection is a promising countermeasure which aims to detect attacks in their early stages; such data-driven measures—often using deep learning—do not require knowledge of the system, thereby simplifying installation. However, with the trend of using increasingly large neural networks for improving performance, acquiring and maintaining such networks may eventually prove a burden too great for ICS operators to bear; therefore, changes in integrating anomaly detection for ICSs are necessary for it to achieve its true potential. One approach is to deploy such solutions remotely; by offloading its maintenance and management to a third party, economies of scale can be exploited to deliver efficient anomaly detection as a service. To this end, we present CloudPAD, an ICS anomaly detection pipeline designed for a cloud deployment; in tandem with the ClozeLSTM—a neural network based on the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) architecture—we show that CloudPAD allows for effective, managed anomaly detection. We train and test the ClozeLSTM on the Secure Water Treatment (SWaT) dataset, and show that it outperforms an advanced attention baseline on average by at least 2.4% in precision-recall AUCs. Furthermore, we develop CyberSWaT, a Mininet-based framework for designing hybrid ICS testbeds. This can aid in determining the viability of cloud anomaly detection for a given ICS; we validate CyberSWaT by porting a digital SWaT testbed to it. Finally, we discuss network effects arising from CloudPAD's remote deployment, along with possible countermeasures; we show that anomaly detection efficacy is retained even as measures are taken to reduce CloudPAD's bandwidth consumption.

The thesis I support claims that, in order to clarify this point, it is important to take into consideration Spengler’s Philosophy, that is undoubtedly a Wittgenstein’s source. I also refer to Goethe, who is called by Wittgenstein against Spengler on the topic of the distinction between the experimenter subject and object of the experimentation.

Developmental extension (Dext) versions were created with easier levels for younger and more disadvantaged children. Although research on early (E-Prime) and later (iPad) versions of the Dext measures demonstrated their short-term validity, this study investigated their longer-term predictive validity. Participants included 402 children (Mage = 55.02 months) who completed the DCCS-Dext and Flanker-Dext (E-Prime) during early childhood screening and achievement tests in the third grade. Both measures significantly predicted math and reading scores among diverse groups of children.

High-intensity exercise and safety concerns in breast cancer survivors
Creators: name: Dolan, Lianne Bronagh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Prescribing exercise as an adjuvant therapy for cancer survivors is becoming an acknowledged rehabilitative tool to offset the numerous biological toxicities that can develop with cancer treatments. Exercise interventions for breast cancer survivors typically prescribe low-to- moderate intensities to counteract the treatment-induced dysfunctions. These prescriptions have elicited inconsistent results. Interval training is currently being explored in many clinical populations with positive outcomes; however, the use of higher intensity exercise in the cancer population is not yet encouraged. Through four different studies, this doctoral dissertation investigated the safety of implementing higher intensity exercise protocols into breast cancer survivor rehabilitative programs during chemotherapy (N=60) and post-primary therapy (N=33). The influence of intensity on safety, aerobic capacity and anaerobic capacity was explored. Supervised exercise programs and maximal aerobic stress tests were administered on a treadmill as it was demonstrated to be the preferred mode of exercise; in spite of this, the measure of anaerobic capacity was determined to be the most reliable on a cycle ergometer. Safety issues concerning neutropenia, altered chemotherapy dose, and biomarkers associated with poor outcome, were investigated. During chemotherapy (FEC-D), 30 early-stage breast cancer patients exercised at intensities between 70- 90% V02peak, thrice weekly, for the duration of their treatment (18.5 weeks). Women were able to safely incorporate bouts of higher intensity exercise without increased hospitalization, immunosuppression, or negatively impacting their chemotherapy dose (achieved RDI was 92%, achieved RDI in the matched, usual care group was 90%). Post-primary therapy, 33 postmenopausal breast cancer survivors were randomized into 3 groups (supervised high-intensity interval training (HIT), supervised continuous moderate-intensity exercise training (CMT) and an unsupervised control group). For 6 weeks, women in the HIT group exercised at intensities between 70 to 100% V0₂peak, while the CMT group exercised between 60-70% V0₂peak. HIT and CMT led to significant improvements in health-associated outcomes, however the mechanisms that led to these benefits may have differed between the groups. No adverse events occurred due to high-intensity exercise in either supervised intervention. This dissertation provides evidence that breast cancer survivors can incorporate bouts of higher intensity exercise into their supervised rehabilitation programs during, or post-primary therapy.

description: A growing body of literature supports the efficacy of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) for the treatment of cannabis use disorder (CUD). But, most individuals will not seek treatment and available treatments are often only provided to more severe cases. The overarching aim of this dissertation was to advance our understanding of efficacious treatments for problematic cannabis use among individuals who wish to stop or reduce their use with minimal professional support. However, measurement of cannabis use has generally not kept pace with shifts in patterns and modes of engagement and measures that do capture the diversity of ways in which cannabis is used are not designed to track changes over time. As such, there was also a need for a self-report measure of cannabis use that is more representative of current patterns of recreational engagement than other measures and that can track changes over time in intervention studies. In Study 1, a systematic review was conducted. It summarized data from 42 randomized controlled trials to provide an updated overview of the psychological interventions for CUD in adults. Both in-person and remotely delivered treatment modes were included. Study 2 involved the development of the Cannabis Engagement Assessment (CEA), a self-report measure of past month cannabis use. Convergent validity, divergent validity, criterion reliability and test-retest reliability of the CEA were examined in a community and undergraduate sample. Results suggested that the CEA is a viable self-report measure of cannabis use that is representative of current patterns of recreational cannabis engagement. In Study 3, a brief self-directed treatment workbook for problematic cannabis use was developed and its clinical utility was tested among adults with problematic cannabis use and who wished to recover with minimal professional support. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three conditions (workbook, workbook + motivational interview, or waitlist control), and asked to complete follow-up assessments at 3- and 6-months post-baseline. Overall, results supported the utility of a brief self-directed workbook in combination with a single MI session at promoting changes in cannabis use. The results also lent preliminary support for the utility of the workbook itself.

description: Slides for a talk at the Exeter Dynamics seminar 2019-02-18

Abstact: How the human cognitive system is able to comprehend language has been a matter of recent debate. On the one hand the brain may make use of learned grammatical rules to decompose sentences into a hierarchy of syntactic structures to generate meaning. On the other hand the brain may rely on simpler, statistical methods where the generation of meaning relies on sequential processing. To examine this we use human EEG to record from participants as they listen to linguistic stimuli. In this talk I will outline our experiments and explain what we think they tell us about the neural processing of sentences.

description: We study processes with unstable particles in intermediate time-like states. It is shown that the amplitudes squared of such processes factor exactly in the framework of the model of unstable particles with continuous masses. Decay widths and cross sections can then be represented in a universal factorized form for an arbitrary set of interacting particles. This exact factorization is caused by specific structure of propagators in the model. We formulate the factorization method and perform a phenomenological analysis of the factorization effects. The factorization method considerably simplifies calculations while leading to compact and reasonable results.

description: Instructors in organized physical activity classes can be a source of social support through their relationships with participants, influence on participants’ interactions with each other, and design of activities. Grounded in interpretive description, the objective of this study was to examine older adults’ experiences of and their perspectives on group physical activity instructors’ supportive behaviors. Observations of 16 group physical activity classes (N = 295) and focus groups or interviews with N = 38 class participants aged ≥ 55 (n = 29 women) were conducted at four municipal recreation facilities in a Canadian city. Five themes shed light on how instructors provided social support: (a) supporting autonomous engagement, (b) developing caring connections, (c) fostering trust through expert instruction, (d) managing conflict directly and effectively, and (e) creating a climate where people want to go. Instructor training should consider older adults’ social support needs and help instructors embody behaviors that support continued physical activity participation, thereby contributing to healthy aging.

description: The goal of the study was to compare how visual representations were integrated into the contents of the U.S. and Turkish textbooks used in life science. Data was collected from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade middle school topics common to both countries. Content analysis was used to analyse visual representations in textbooks. The visual representations were coded into five categories representative of the level of integration. Findings of the study revealed that many representations in Turkish textbooks were not designed with enough labels and captions compared to the U.S. one. This limited the function of the images in the textbook. The implications for textbook revisions aimed at improving the use of visual representations in the classrooms are discussed.

description: Abstract: Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is an annual crop that requires relatively low inputs for cultivation and easily adapts to sustainable farming systems. The hemp plant is quite versatile and the resulting constituents can be used various purposes. Fibers and shives are best positioned for use in the composite related industries, because both offer distinct characteristics. Development of fungal-based composite materials from hemp shives would provide a new way for their valorization. Additionally, using shives for fungal-based bio-materials would be advantageous as they require lower energy during production, are biodegradable, and do not need added chemicals. The study’s objective was to investigate a suitable hemp substrate for producing bio-composites, suitable for packaging material. Specifically, the study evaluated two white rot fungi (Ganoderma Lucidum and Trametes Versicolor) and the influence of hemp shive size, fungal culture media types, and inoculation methods. During the research, inoculation of the fungi on hemp was performed by transferring fungal material grown on solid medium and mycelium growth rate was evaluated. Substrate inoculation was divided into two stages. In the first stage, hemp shives were inoculated with fungi and in the second stage, after a certain time of fungal overgrowth, the substrate was mixed to evenly spread the overgrowth throughout the volume. Fungal overgrowth in both phases took place at 26 ° C and a high relative humidity. The results of the study indicated that the growth rate is significantly influenced by the chemical composition of lignin and pH value of the substrate, with a pH value of 5 as the best condition for both types of fungi. A one week first stage, followed by a two-week second stage procedure resulted in a suitable hemp-fungi biomaterial growth. Additionally, the correct substrate preparation resulted in optimal fungi growth and higher yields of biocomposite material.

description: Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) waves have been found for about 15 years. However, significant controversy remains over their physical natures and origins. In this paper, we report an EUV wave that was accompanied by an X1.9 flare and a partial halo coronal mass ejection. Using high temporal and spatial resolution observations taken by the {\em Solar Dynamics Observatory} and the Solar-TErrestrial RElations Observatory, we are able to investigate the detailed kinematics of the EUV wave. We find several arguments that support the fast-mode wave scenario: (1) The speed of the EUV wave (570 km/s) is higher than the sound speed of quiet-Sun corona. (2) Significant deceleration of the EUV wave (-130 m/s2) is found during its propagation. (3) The EUV wave resulted in the oscillations of a loop and a filament along its propagation path, and a reflected wave from the polar coronal hole is also detected. (4) Refraction or reflection effect is observed when the EUV wave was passing through two coronal bright points. (5) The dimming region behind the wavefront stopped to expand when the wavefront started to become diffuse. (6) The profiles of the wavefront exhibited a dispersive nature, and the magnetosonic Mach number of the EUV wave derived from the highest intensity jump is about 1.4. In addition, triangulation indicates that the EUV wave propagated within a height range of about 60-100 Mm above the photosphere. We propose that the EUV wave observed should be a nonlinear fast-mode magnetosonic wave that propagated freely in the corona after it was driven by the CME expanding flanks during the initial period.

description: The extended finite element method (X-FEM) is utilised to simulate the behavior of a heterogeneous fault characterized by rate-state frictional rheology, embedded within a poroelastic medium. The displacement and pore-pressure fields that are discontinuous across the fault are computed using X-FEM, by enriching the standard finite element approximation with additional degrees of freedom for elements intersected by the fault. We investigate a Mw 4.1 injection-induced earthquake in western Canada; this model incorporates depth-varying rate-slip behavior wherein a high-pressure zone due to hydraulic fracturing stimulation intersects the fault within a stable layer, producing aseismic slip that progressively loads an unstable fault region, thereby triggering dynamic rupture. Parametric studies using our numerical approach provide insights into the influence of rate-state parameters on fault activation, as well as hydraulic properties of a damage zone that surrounds the fault. Results confirm that aseismic slip near the injection zone propagates outwards to seismogenic unstable regions of the fault. The coseismic slip profile, seismic moment, and slip latency are determined by the difference a − b for rate-state parameters of the unstable fault regions. Hydraulic diffusivity in the damage zone controls the rate of pore-pressure diffusion along the fault, which affects timing of the initial seismic event and aftershock productivity.

description: Within the higher education scholarship on persistence the changing landscape of student participation has been widely acknowledged (Smit, 2012). Increases in student diversity within post-secondary institutions have prompted evidenced-based concerns regarding higher education’s ability to equitably meet the needs of all students (Michalski et al., 2017; Museus & Quaye, 2009; Tamtik & Guenter, 2020). Alongside these issues in student persistence, is the growing awareness of a rise in well-being challenges and the impacts they may have on students’ academic achievement (Eisenberg et al., 2009). This qualitative inquiry generated from my own experience as a student affairs professional within academic support services and the emerging scholarship highlighting the significant connections students make between their well-being and the formal learning environments they participate in (Stanton et al., 2016). While initiatives supporting student well-being outside of the postsecondary classroom have been investigated (Scobie & Picard, 2018), there has been considerably less research addressing “well-being as a teaching and learning issue” (Crawford & Johns, 2018, p. 3). This inquiry augments the limited scholarship in this area. In particular, this study engaged students who had previously encountered academic challenge in a narrative inquiry exploring aspects of their formal learning that helped or hindered their well-being. Employing a conceptual framework informed by ethics of care (Held, 2006) and whole student pedagogies (Mondey et al., 2017), results of this study shed light on how students perceive caring pedagogical stances within formal learning as supportive of their well-being. Findings support existing research that demonstrates the intricate relationship between academic challenge and assessment practices and emotional well-being. In addition, participants’ perceptions of instructors’ care for their learning and care for their future selves as demonstrated through relational pedagogical practices were also found to be supportive of student well-being. Importantly, this study aimed to resist deficit-oriented approaches to student persistence and instead “reverse the gaz[e]” (Patel, 2016, p. 35) to consider how post-secondary classrooms may better support student well-being for a population of students, who arguably, have experienced some of the most significant challenges in their efforts to achieve academically.
