A categorical semantics for topological quantum computation
Creators: name: Paquette, Eric Olive
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: The aim of this thesis is to develop an abstract categorical setup in order to show that C -colored manifolds (i.e. compact closed manifolds with boundary where each boundary component is colored with an object of a semisimple strongly ribbon category) behaves basically in a similar manner as quantum circuits under the action of a unitary modular functor. There, the set of gates is composed only of braid operations, rotations and Dehn-twists. We first introduce the basic mathematical structure of a quantum circuit. We then provide a complete development of a 2-dimensional CW-complex over an extended surface. Furthermore, we provide a complete development of the categorical framework in order to construct a C -extended unitary modular functor (UMF) acting from the category of C -colored surfaces and morphisms of C -colored surfaces to the category of finite-dimensional vector spaces and linear isomorphisms. We then conclude by giving a complete semantics for topological quantum computation including an abstract version of the inner product, basic data units, basic data transformations, projectors and the notion of topological invariance of the algorithms.

description: Background: There is a need for alternative treatment options for tremor patients who do not respond well to medications or surgery, either due to side effects or poor efficacy, or that are excluded from surgery. The study aims to evaluate feasibility of a voluntary-driven, speed-controlled tremor rejection approach with individuals with pathological tremor. The suppression approach was investigated using a robotic orthosis for suppression of elbow tremor. Importantly, the study emphasizes the performance in relation to the voluntary motion. Methods: Nine participants with either Essential Tremor (ET) or Parkinson’s disease (PD) were recruited and tested off medication. The participants performed computerized pursuit tracking tasks following a sinusoid and a random target, both with and without the suppressive orthosis. The impact of the Tremor Suppression Orthosis (TSO) at the tremor and voluntary frequencies was determined by the relative power change calculated from the Power Spectral Density (PSD). Voluntary motion was, in addition, assessed by position and velocity tracking errors. Results: The suppressive orthosis resulted in a 94.4% mean power reduction of the tremor (p < 0.001) – a substantial improvement over reports in the literature. As for the impact to the voluntary motion, paired difference tests revealed no statistical effect of the TSO on the relative power change (p = 0.346) and velocity tracking error (p = 0.283). A marginal effect was observed for the position tracking error (p = 0.05). The interaction torque with the robotic orthosis was small (0.62 Nm) when compared to the maximum voluntary torque that can be exerted by adult individuals at the elbow joint. Conclusions: Two key contributions of this work are first, a recently proposed approach is evaluated with individuals with tremor demonstrating high levels of tremor suppression; second, the impact of the approach to the voluntary motion is analyzed comprehensively, showing limited inhibition. This study also seeks to address a gap in studies with individuals with tremor where the impact of engineering solutions on voluntary motion is unreported. This study demonstrates feasibility of the wearable technology as an effective treatment that removes tremor with limited impediment to intentional motion. The goal for such wearable technology is to help individuals with pathological tremor regain independence in activities affected by the tremor condition. Further investigations are needed to validate the technology.

description: We present a new measurement of EG, which combines measurements of weak gravitational lensing, galaxy clustering, and redshift-space distortions. This statistic was proposed as a consistency test of General Relativity (GR) that is insensitive to linear, deterministic galaxy bias, and the matter clustering amplitude. We combine deep imaging data from KiDS with overlapping spectroscopy from 2dFLenS, BOSS DR12, and GAMA and find EG(z = 0.267) = 0.43 ± 0.13 (GAMA), EG(z = 0.305) = 0.27 ± 0.08 (LOWZ+2dFLOZ), and EG(z = 0.554) = 0.26 ± 0.07 (CMASS+2dFHIZ). We demonstrate that the existing tension in the value of thematter density parameter hinders the robustness of this statistic as solely a test of GR. We find that our EG measurements, as well as existing ones in the literature, favour a lower matter density cosmology than the cosmic microwave background. For a flat ΛCDM Universe, we find Ωm(z = 0) = 0.25 ± 0.03. With this paper, we publicly release the 2dFLenS data set at: http://2dflens.swin.edu.au.

Swimming with Daddy
Creators: name: Hecq, Dominique
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The compactness of the short form allows 'Swimming with daddy' to be both complete and suggestive. This work of fiction is infused with personal history: it borrows from a factual relationship between father and daughter. The story is autobiographical fiction and examples the cathartic nature of storytelling, for writer and reader. Event memories are reconfigured to distort history, to tell an engaging story drawn from anthropological knowledge, a story that offers its own cleansing to the author and, potentially, the reader.
Predicting the Brownlow Medal winner

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The Brownlow medal is the highest individual honour that can be achieved by Austra-lian Football League (AFL) players. It is based on the umpires votes to the three best players (3 for first, 2 for second, 1 for third) in each of the 176 home and away matches for a season. An ordinal logistic regression model retrospectively applied to past data has been used to identify specific player performance statistics from each match that can aid in the prediction of votes polled. By applying this model to present data it is possible to objectively assign leading players a probability of winning the Brownlow medal. Over the past two AFL seasons (2000 and 2001), the authors have successfully used this approach to identify the leading contenders for the Brownlow medal.

Medical nutrition therapy in Canadian federal correctional facilities

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2019

description: Background: Under- and over nutrition as well as nutrition risk factors such as communicable and non-communicable diseases are a common and major cause of morbidity and mortality in correctional facilities. Consequently, medical nutrition therapy (MNT), a spectrum of nutrition services aimed at optimizing individual well-being, is being recognized as integral to the health of people who experience incarceration. However, there is a paucity of research that explores the delivery of MNT in correctional facilities. Methods: A scoping review combined with secondary analysis of qualitative data (field notes, in-depth stakeholder interviews) from a 2-year ethnographic study about food insecurity and incarceration was undertaken to gain insights about the delivery of corrections-based MNT in Canada. Thematic analysis of all documents was done using an interpretive framework. Results: An understanding about MNT was developed within three themes: 1) specialized service provision in a unique environment; 2) challenges with the provision of MNT; and 3) consideration of corrections-based MNT alternatives. An incarcerated individual’s nutritional health was conceptualized as culminating from various factors that included dietary intake and health status, enabling environments, access to quality health services, and clinical nutrition services. Nutrition care practices, which range from health promotion to rehabilitation, are challenged by issues of access, visibility, adequacy, and environmental barriers. Their success is dependent on demand (e.g., ability of recipient to act) and factors that enable quality health and food services. Advancing corrections-based MNT will require policies that provide supportive food and health environments and creating sustainable services by integrating alternatives such as peer approaches and telehealth. Conclusions: Professional associations, government, researchers and other stakeholders can help to strengthen corrections-based MNT by fostering shifts in thinking about the role of health practitioners in these contexts, preparing future health professionals with the specialized skills needed to work in these environments, generating evidence that can best inform practice, and cultivating collaborations aimed at crime prevention, successful societal reintegration, and the reduction of recidivism.

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Language, General.

description: This thesis focuses on the notion of text as a project which implicitly underlies a certain orientation in translation studies, traceable through some of Berman's, Brisset's, Derrida's and Fitch's work. Its purpose is to offer a descriptive analysis of this textual perspective through a clarification of four correlated accounts of translation (Berman: 1985, Brisset: 1985, Derrida: 1986, Fitch: 1988). An article drawn from J. L. Austin's Philosophical Papers (Oxford, 1979) and its French translation (Aubert et Hacker, Paris, 1979) provide the descriptive framework for a three-stage analysis. Each stage focuses on one defining element common to the four converging approaches. Translation is thus described successively as a dynamic, supratextual, text-altering practice. Concurrently, each descriptive account of the translation phenomenon generates an analysis of the underlying concept of text, described respectively as a non-linear structure, as a project, as an action. The analysis is illustrated throughout by means of concrete applications drawn from Austin's article and its French translation.

description: Under physiological conditions, ballistic long-range transfer of electronic excitations in molecular aggregates is generally expected to be suppressed by noise and dissipative processes. Hence, quantum phenomena are not considered to be relevant for the design of efficient and controllable energy transfer over significant length scales and timescales. Contrary to this conventional wisdom, here we show that the robust quantum properties of small configurations of repeating clusters of molecules can be used to tune energy-transfer mechanisms that take place on much larger scales. With the support of an exactly solvable model, we demonstrate that coherent exciton delocalization and dark states within unit cells can be used to harness dissipative phenomena of varying nature (thermalization, fluorescence, nonradiative decay, and weak intersite correlations) to support classical propagation over macroscopic distances. In particular, we argue that coherent delocalization of electronic excitations over just a few pigments can drastically alter the relevant dissipation pathways that influence the energy-transfer mechanism and thus serve as a molecular control tool for large-scale properties of molecular materials. Building on these principles, we use extensive numerical simulations to demonstrate that they can explain currently not-understood measurements of micron-scale exciton diffusion in nanofabricated arrays of bacterial photosynthetic complexes. Based on these results, we provide quantum design guidelines at the molecular scale to optimize both energy-transfer speed and range over macroscopic distances in artificial light-harvesting architectures.
Perception of organisational politics and workplace innovation: an investigation of the perceptions and behaviour of staff in an Australian IT services organisation
Creators: name: Baxter, David
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between organisational politics and innovation in a divisional business unit within an Australian information technology services organisation. It also investigates the use of political tactics within the organisation, the emotional effect of the use of political tactics on individuals, and their rationale for the use of political tactics by supervisors and peers. A self-administered questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions was used in this study. A total of 169 useable responses from employees at all levels of the divisional business unit were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. Six scales were included in the analysis, including dispositional, perceptual and behavioural variables. Demographic data were also included in the analysis. This study contributes to organisation studies literature by extending existing knowledge about organisational politics. Specifically, the results show that the greater the amount of organisational politics perceived by employees the lower the level of perceived organisational innovation (r = .520). The findings of this study support previously researched relationships between an individual’s locus of control and Machiavellianism and their perception of organisational politics. In addition, locus of control and perception of workplace innovation were found to be related. This study found that the Perception of Politics Scale (POPS) is a valid operationalisation of the perception of organisational politics concept within the Australian context.
Molybdenum Sinter-Cladding of Solid Radioisotope Targets
Creators: name: Gelbart, William Z.
name: Johnson, Richard R.
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2019

description: In solid targets for radioisotope production, the parent materials—mostly metallic—are usually attached to a substrate (metal part, often copper or silver) to support it during handling and irradiation and to facilitate liquid or gas cooling to remove the heat generated by the particle beam. This cladding process is most frequently done by electroplating. One of the biggest challenges of preparing solid, high-current, ¹⁰⁰Mo targets is the difficulty of cladding the substrate with molybdenum—metal that cannot be electroplated. A number of cladding techniques are used with varying degrees of complexity, success, and cost. A simple cladding process, especially suitable for the production of radioisotope targets, was developed. The process uses a metal slurry (metal powder and binder) painted on the substrate and heated in a hydrogen atmosphere where the metal is sintered and diffusion-bound to the substrate in a single step.
The parallel generation of combinations.

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

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: In this thesis we consider the problem of the generation of combinations of m elements chosen from a set of n elements. We provide a survey of the sequential and parallel algorithms for the generation of the (m,n)-combinations. The major achievement of this thesis is a parallel algorithm for generating all combinations without repetitions of m elements from an arbitrary set of n elements in loxicographic ascending order. The algorithm uses a linear systolic array of m processors, each having constant size memory (except processor m, which has O(n) memory), and each being responsible for producing one element of a given combination. There is a constant delay between successive combinations, leading to an O(c(m,n)) time solutions, where C(m,n) is the total number of (m,n)-combinations. The algorithm is cost-optimal, assuming the time to output the combination is counted, and does not deal with very large integers. This algorithm is an improvement over all previous works because it generates combinations of a set of arbitrary elements $\{p\sb1,\ p\sb2,\... ,\ p\sb{n}\}$, on which an order relation is defined such that $p\sb1p\sb2\... p\sb{n}$. This property is important since it allows us to distinguish between algorithms that generate combinations of any ordered set, and algorithms that can only generate combinations of the set $\{$1, 2,$\... ,\ n\}$. Last, we modify this algorithm to generate combinations with repetitions in lexicographic order chosen from a set of arbitrary objects.
Evaluation of a natural health product patient decision aid: A tool for middle aged women considering menopausal symptom relief

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Nursing.

description: Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of a patient decision aid (PtDA) for menopausal women facing decisions about natural health products (NHPs). Background. Women experience difficulty making decisions about NHPs for the management of menopausal symptoms. Factors influencing the decision include lack of information, and inadequate communication, and support from health care providers. Decision support interventions that have been demonstrated to be successful in addressing women's decisional needs are decision aids. Although a new decision aid is available, its English version has not been evaluated in a community-based/clinical setting to determine its effect on decision quality or the process of decision making. Design. A pre-/post-test quasi-experimental study. Setting. The Women's Health Center at The Ottawa Hospital, Ottawa Canada. Participants. Peri- or post-menopausal women aged 45 to 64 considering the use of NHPs for management of menopausal symptoms. Intervention. Self-administered NHP PtDA. Main outcome measures. The primary outcome measure was the level of decisional conflict as measured by the Decisional Conflict Scale. Secondary outcomes included knowledge, strength of values, and choice/preference. Results. Of 24 women, the typical participant was 50 to 59 years of age, Caucasian, married, and well educated. Compared to baseline, after using the decision aid, women's total decisional conflict was reduced from 63% to 23% (p < 0.001) and knowledge improved from 76% to 87% (p = 0.001). The values clarification exercise revealed that women who preferred NHPs were more likely to rate the non-chemical aspect as important and the cost of the NHP as less important. Of the 24 women, 10 were unsure of their choice at baseline and 3 post use of the decision aid (p = 0.015). Overall, women rated the decision aid as acceptable, clear, and balanced. Conclusion. The NHP PtDA improved decision quality and supported menopausal women who were facing health decisions around using NHPs for menopausal symptoms.

description: Testing and verification is still an open issue on the way to fully automated driving. Simulations can help to reduce the required testing efforts, however, classical simulators based on physical models and heuristics, such as the intelligent driver model (IDM), show limited model accuracy on a microscopic scenario level. In turn, learning-based driver models are often capable to predict human driver's behavior accurately, but are difficult to tailor such that they follow an intended scenario description. In this work, we propose a software-in-the-loop framework to combine a learned model with a rule-based logic layer and a kinematic vehicle model of a classical traffic simulator. Thus, the merits of both, classical simulators and learning-based models are exploited. We demonstrate with a case study of evaluating a motion planning scheme that the simulator fits well with the needs of testing such methods. Furthermore, we show by experiments with real-world traffic data from a traffic surveillance system that the proposed simulator yields realistic behavior of the simulated road users.

subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis proposes an implementation of an improved algorithm for solving nonlinear separable integer programming problems, as they arise in the field of system reliability. The reliability redundancy optimization solver (RROS) improves on a hybrid technique of dynamic programming with depth first search with tighter variable bounds. The implementation takes the form of an Excel add-in, which will be familiar to users with little formal OR/MS training. The user interface design is discussed. Example applications with benchmarks show that the RROS offers accurate solutions in a comparatively efficient way. This thesis further introduces a surrogate method to solve nonlinear problems with non-separable objectives, where a separable constraint is used as a surrogate objective. This is shown to yield solutions to a number of difficult cases.

description: Depressive symptoms, feelings of sadness, anger, and loss that interfere with a person’s daily life, are prevalent health concerns across populations that significantly result in adverse health outcomes with direct and indirect economic burdens at a national and global level. This article aims to synthesize known mechanisms of depressive symptoms and the established and emerging methodologies used to understand depressive symptoms; implications and directions for future nursing research are discussed. A comprehensive search was performed by Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, MEDLINE, and PUBMED databases between 2000–2021 to examine contributing factors of depressive symptoms. Many environmental, psychological, and physiological factors are associated with the development or increased severity of depressive symptoms (anhedonia, fatigue, sleep and appetite disturbances to depressed mood). This paper discusses biological and psychological theories that guide our understanding of depressive symptoms, as well as known biomarkers (gut microbiome, specific genes, multi-cytokine, and hormones) and established and emerging methods. Disruptions within the nervous system, hormonal and neurotransmitters levels, brain structure, gut-brain axis, leaky-gut syndrome, immune and inflammatory process, and genetic variations are significant mediating mechanisms in depressive symptomology. Nursing research and practice are at the forefront of furthering depressive symptoms’ mechanisms and methods. Utilizing advanced technology and measurement tools (big data, machine learning/artificial intelligence, and multi-omic approaches) can provide insight into the psychological and biological mechanisms leading to effective intervention development. Thus, understanding depressive symptomology provides a pathway to improve patients’ health outcomes, leading to reduced morbidity and mortality and the overall nation-wide economic burden.

description: After years of research and development, trial and error of molecular decomposing of ferric and copper slags, an environment friendly, cost effective solution for processing the slags has been made. The process follows decomposition on a molecule level, dividing of main ferric slags somponents: iron / hydroxide and silicate.Each extracted component then becomes a commodity: iron oxide (by heating iron hydroxide), used for various paing pigments or iron chloride for water purification. The other main component - silicon dioxide is complimented by controlled iron additive, with 12% iron as demanded by cement industry, can be reached with precision. 100% of the copper slags are thus recycled, processed. Although the iron oxide, which is generally difficult to produce, is the most valuable ingredient, the rest is also transformed to useable commodities. Waste is transformed to a commodity. Hence, companies possessing copper slags might have a positive outcome for their waste if they use the solution. Chemical and cement industries may benefit by procuring cheap copper slag, processing it and using half of it in their production and the rest supplying the global commodity market.

description: There is a lack of evidence for the safety of untargeted daily iron supplementation in women, especially in countries such as Cambodia, where both anemia and hemoglobinopathies are common. Our aim was to assess serum non-transferrin bound iron (NTBI), a toxic biochemical that accumulates in blood when too much iron is absorbed, in Cambodian women who received daily iron supplements in accordance with the 2016 global World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. We used fasting venous blood samples that were collected in a 2015 supplementation trial among predominantly anemic Cambodian women (18–45 years). Serum NTBI was measured with use of the FeROS™ eLPI assay (Aferrix Ltd., Tel-Aviv, Israel) in randomly selected sub-groups of women who received 60 mg daily elemental iron as ferrous sulfate (n = 50) or a placebo (n = 50) for 12 weeks. Overall, n = 17/100 (17%) of women had an elevated serum NTBI concentration (≥0.1 μmol/L) at 12 weeks; n = 9 in the Fe group and n = 8 in the placebo group. Elevated serum NTBI concentration was not associated with age, iron supplementation, transferrin saturation or severe hemoglobinopathies (p > 0.05). In this population of women with a high prevalence of hemoglobinopathies, we found that daily iron supplementation was not associated with elevated serum NTBI concentrations at 12 weeks, as compared to placebo.

description: This thesis treats the various constructions of interrogativity in colloquial modern Persian, within the Government and Binding framework. Chapter 2 presents the basic properties and the various methods of forming yes-no questions. I argue that changes in word-order may not be considered as a strategy to indicate an interrogativity, and that consequently, the movement of the verb from its position in I to C in Persian, unlike languages such as English, is disallowed. I also propose the possibility of assigning a mood phrase (MP) position to the yes-no particles. Chapter 3 gives a detailed survey of the movement processes of Wh-words which, prima facie, appear to be a syntactic movement. However, exploring the more complicated data, we subsequently arrive at the conclusion that this movement, by and large, patterns with an optional topicalization process, and has nothing to do with the syntactic movement to SPEC CP. I propose that the availability of question particles in a number of languages, including Persian, correlates with the lack of syntactic Wh-movement. Persian extraction patterns are argued to resemble those of Nordic languages in which no structural constraint is imposed. Subjacency, therefore, is unable to explain the extraction phenomenon in this language. To give a reasonable account of the extraction rules in Persian Dominance, in turn, is proposed as a convincing condition. Chapter 4 concentrates on the fact that multiple Wh-fronting in Persian is radically different from extensively-studied languages, such as Bulgarian and Romanian, even though these languages manifest resemblance with respect to a number of properties. Furthermore, it is shown that in multiple Wh-fronting languages, the Wh-phrases are morphologically complex, and need to satisfy a licensing requirement independent of clausal typing. This morphological characteristic is absent, however, in Persian. Analysis of the preceding factors leads me to propose that multiple Wh-fronting in Persian also results from adjunction of Wh-phrases to IP, in other words, topicalization.

From the Claws of the Tiger to the Jaws of the Crocodile: Pol Pot, Maoism, and Ultra-Nationalist Genocide in Cambodia, 1975-1979

description: This thesis argues that Pol Pot was an unsophisticated political theorist and that he attempted to localize Maoism to serve his virulently ultra-nationalist agenda against Cambodia's ethnic Vietnamese. This is contrary to the existing assertions that Pol Pot was either a Maoist fundamentalist or adopted an ideology close to Maoism. The thesis postulates that Pol Pot used Maoism as a framework from which to launch his Khmer revivalist anti-Vietnamese program. The Cambodian leader's revolution was intended to "outdo" Mao, based solely on the use of antiquated Khmer agricultural developments, and surpass the grandeur of the great Angkor kings. This evidence can be found when one compares Pol Pot's writings, speeches, and slogans with Mao's own political works. Pol Pot was fascinated with Maoist rhetoric but never took action in building industry or improving social welfare. The Cambodian leader's overarching goal was to achieve a uniquely "pure" Khmer communism while also eradicating the entire Vietnamese race. The following thesis provides an analysis of Pol Pot's early political life, examines his infatuation with Mao Zedong and the Chinese revolution, and details the Cambodian leader's unique interpretation of the Chinese Chairman's political ideology. This thesis also aspires to she'd new insight into the study of Pol Pot's ultra- nationalist inspiration and disbar the convenient assumption by current scholars that he was merely a Maoist fundamentalist. In Pol Pot's attempts to create a uniquely Khmer communist ideology, he lost sight of the class struggle and espoused a racialist agenda based on Cambodian historical notions of revenge. These forms evolved from a mere grudge to notions of disproportionate and total revenge and dictated the Cambodian leader's treatment of the Vietnamese. Pol Pot was obsessed with Cambodia's long lost greatness and possessed an inherent need to reestablish the utopian Angkor kingdom in the present while punishing those responsible for its demise. In the end, his legacy was one of unbridled bloodshed that led to nearly three million deaths and the near-total destruction of his country.

Delivering mobile services to mobile users in open networks: Quality of service, authentication and trust-based access control

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis describes scenarios in which a mobile user needs various services, such as Internet telephony, secure printing and online data services in a number of places. From these scenarios we summarize the requirements for quality of service control, service discovery, user authentication and authorization, service access control, and user privacy. In order to implement a prototype to support service discovery, we studied different technologies including Bluetooth, Jini, and Web Services. SDPtool from BlueZ was chosen to limit the search range within the user's local area while using minimal power consumption. Also included in the implementation, the Session Initiation Protocol is used to initiate the session and exchange messages while Java Media Framework is used to capture and deliver multimedia data. In the process of adapting Dupre's authentication protocol for user authentication, we found that it is possible for a third party to intercept the messages exchanged between a user and a Foreign Agent, which may lead to denial of service attack and weakens the strength of the user's password. The protocol is then improved by introducing additional message segments and altering the way to verify the server's response. The thesis also deals with trust relationships, which are needed as a basis for communication between the two parties. Shi's probability distribution model is introduced to integrate recommendations from different domains so that a service provider could make better decisions whether a given user should be assigned certain access rights. In the other hand, a user also depends on a trust relationship to make sure that his or her sensitive data will be handled properly. Finally, based on all of the above, a trust-based access control framework for mobile users and services is proposed and choices of implementation are briefly discussed.
