Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Epidemiology.

description: The present study investigated the association between gaseous air pollutants and mortality and morbidity due to specific cardiovascular conditions in the elderly population in Vancouver, British Columbia. Time-series analysis was utilized to evaluate the daily levels of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3) in relation to cardiovascular hospital admissions and deaths between January 1985 and March 1999. Results showed significant associations between CO and ischemic heart disease and heart failure admissions, NO 2 and all cardiovascular hospitalizations and stroke deaths and between SO2 and heart failure hospital admissions. Vancouver air pollutant levels were well below the Canadian National Ambient Air Quality Objectives maximum acceptable levels. However the results of this study showed a negative influence on the population's health suggesting that a re-evaluation of these standards may be necessary.

description: This research aims to identify the relationship between language learning strategies andstudents' preferences in oral communication as predictors of anxiety in oral language among students. The (310) participants arefrom Davao City. This is a quantitative study that utilized a descriptive correlational survey. In analyzing the data, mean, Pearson r, and multiple regression were used. As a result of this research, it was found that the descriptive level of participants in language learning strategies is high, indicating that students often demonstrate their use. Similarly, interms of preference for oral communication, it only obtained a moderate level, meaning that students only occasionallydemonstrate their preference for oral communication. Furthermore, anxiety in oral language also obtained a highlevel. The results also revealed that there is no significant relationship between language learning strategy and anxietyinoral language among students. There is also a significant negative relationship between students' preference for oral communication and anxiety in oral language. Emotional, cognitive, compensation, social strategy, and teacher-student communication strategies are predictors with the most significant influence on students' anxiety in oral language. Thisstudy helps teachers, especially with students, to have appropriate language learning strategies and use themforpreference in oral communication as predictors in oral language.

description: Structural and functional analysis of Hsp70 and Hsp90 chaperones has advanced significantly over the last decade. However, within the cell Hsp70 and Hsp90 often work together, and little is known about the molecular mechanisms that allow these two chaperones to productively coordinate their activities. Much of my thesis is focused on discoveries that reveal a high level of regulation in how Hsp70 and Hsp90 work together. I specifically focus on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-specific Hsp70/Hsp90 homologs, BiP and Grp94. Chapter 2 describes the discovery that BiP and Grp94 directly interact even in the absence of a client protein, and that their interaction is nucleotide specific. BiP and Grp94 associate only when BiP is in the ADP conformation. Because BiP traps client proteins while in the ADP conformation, this observation provides a mechanism for the delivery of client proteins from BiP to Grp94.
description: Chapter 3 describes how BiP acts as a potent regulator of the structure and ATPase activity of Grp94. Thus, I have found that BiP acts both as a chaperone and also as a co-chaperone of Grp94. BiP exerts a strong influence over Grp94 by targeting the open configuration of Grp94 and then driving Grp94 into the hydrolytically active conformation. The acceleration of Grp94 closure is achieved by BiP stabilizing a specific conformational intermediate that can be populated en-route to the closed state.
description: Chapter 4 is focused only on the Grp94 conformational cycle, which proceeds slowly (less than one cycle per minute) in the absence of stimulating factors such as BiP. The slow rate of the Grp94 conformational cycle imposes a practical challenge in some mechanistic experiments, and it would be helpful to have mutations that enhance the cycle rate. Chapter 4 describes the identification of a group of mutations that activate Grp94. For the most active Grp94 double mutation, the arm closure rate is forty-fold faster than the ATP hydrolysis rate, demonstrating that Grp94 ATPase activity can be decoupled from arm-closure kinetics.
The measurement of Reynolds stresses in a model river bend using acoustic doppler velocimeters

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: This thesis reports the first two experiments in long term study of the distribution of Reynolds stresses in a model river bend, as well as the development and procedural details of the model river bend itself. The open channel flume measures 18.2 m along the centerline, and is 1 m wide with a uniform 0.3 m deep mobile sand bed. With a 12.2 m straight approach, a 135 bend with 1.5 m constant radius, followed by a straight exit section, this bend is considered to be sharply curved. The first experiment was conducted with a channel slope of 0.044% which, for the 0.2 m flow depth resulted in clear water scour conditions in the bend with a planned dimensionless boundary shear stress, tau*, of 0.035. For the second experiment, the slope was increased to 0.064% to ensure movement in the straight approach section which required sediment circulation. Dimensionless boundary shear stress for the second test was selected to be 0.05. Following development of equilibrium bed topography in the first test, a total of 609 time-series measurements lasting 2 minutes each were taken at a wide distribution throughout the entire bend. Two Vectrino ADVs were used for velocity measurements operating at a sampling frequency of 200Hz and the ability of these sensors to directly measure 3D Reynolds stress is a key aspect of this study. With a noted lack of data on Reynolds stresses for which to calibrate turbulent flow models, this thesis is designed to identify these stresses. Through the examination of the mean flow properties and verifying that the measurements are correct, the discovery of two zones of high streamwise-vertical Reynolds stress are reported, one at the beginning of the scour hole formation, and the other at the tip of the downstream point bar. For this thesis the results from the first experiment will be examined in detail, and the second will be discussed only from a qualitative point of view since all measurements could not be completed.
Destination brand building for emerging nations: the case of Timor-Leste

description: This thesis applies destination branding techniques to the half-island nation of Timor-Leste. Two stages of qualitative research inform this work. First, semi-structured interviews and focus groups elicit the views of Timor-Leste’s leading tourism stakeholders. Second, a qualitative survey with a consumer audience in Australia enables an assessment of a proposed destination brand and, more broadly, the effectiveness of branding in an emerging nation. The findings suggest that destination branding can have a positive effect on the negative image of Timor-Leste. It is argued that branding is a powerful tool, capable of managing a destination’s image and growing international tourism.

description: "Good for Her" traces how contemporary possession films portray their protagonists with a level of complexity previously withheld from on-screen female characters. I introduce the concept of the "corruption arc" as the narrative tool used in possession films to mark the protagonist's descent into worlds beyond our own. There are two distinct forms of corruption that lend different portrayals of the corrupted figure. Spiritual corruption traditionally centers an instance of paranormal possession framed as or instigated by sexual violation. On the other hand, the scientific corruption arc relies on a different methodology of displaying terror: aliens, body horror, and a broader existential question of what it means to be--or, more appropriately, remain--human in the face of tragedy, all tend to be at the center of these narratives. What both branches of corruption share, however, is a far-reaching meditation on how the cinematic medium can portray femininity in crisis without de-centering the female lead from her own narrative. The violent configuration of corruption therefore demonstrates a cinematic re-imagination of on-screen female interiority. By analyzing The Witch (2015, dir. Robert Eggers), Under the Skin (2013, dir. Johnathan Glazer), and Annihilation (2018, dir. Alex Garland), I present three films that demonstrate the complicated, visceral experience that is existing in a feminized body, a perspective frequently disregarded in the history of cinematic horror.
Requirement engineering with URN: Integrating goals and scenarios

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: The User Requirements Notation (URN) is an emerging standard that combines two views: the Goal-oriented Requirement Language (GRL) and the Use Case Map (UCM) notation. This standard intends to combine goals and scenarios for expressing and reasoning about functional and non-functional requirements. Although tools exist in isolation for both views, they are currently not meant to work together, hence hindering the development and adoption of URN. This thesis presents Eclipse-based tool support for integrated goal and scenario modelling based on URN. A metamodel that integrates GRL with an existing UCM metamodel is given, together with a detailed description of the tool capabilities. New and automated analysis approaches are also introduced, which exploit integrated URN models. The approaches that are described include quantitative goal evaluations, stakeholder evaluations, novel GRL strategies, and links between the URN views. In addition, this thesis presents an approach to link GRL models to external requirements, also supported by our tool. Finally, the integrated URN approach is illustrated and validated using case studies.

description: The theological controversy on frequent Communion, a central issue in Orthodox spirituality, was the second one in which the leaders of the Kolly­vadic or Philokalic movement, a spiritual movement which originated on Mount Athos in the second half of the eighteenth century, were involved. The controversy expanded after the publication of two anonymous treatises Concerning Frequent Communion in 1777 and 1783, the latter commonly attributed to Sts. Makarios of Corinth and Nikodemos the Hagiorite. With these printed books their authors intended to face a decline in the frequency of Communion in the Christian East during the period of Ottoman occupation by providing the theological arguments in support of frequent Communion. Though a significant one this controversy has not been totally studied yet since many of its written sources remain still unedited and almost unknown. In this article we present and edit for the first time some of these unknown texts which were written both from the Kollyvades and their theological opponents, such as Sergios Makraios, the famous director of the Patriarchal Academy in Constantinople who refuted the second anonymous treatise on frequent Communion (1783) by writing an extensive treatise against it. Moreover we present the content of three florilegia, i.e. collections of patristic and canonical testimonia on the issue of frequent Communion produced by the Kollyvades and preserved in three manuscripts. The last text belongs to a little known hieromonk of the circle of Kollyvades, Ioasaph Parios, who lived at the same period in the Skete of St. Demetrius near Vatopedi. It is written in the form of an epistοlic treatise and presents in great extent his views on this critical theological issue.

description: News, as we know, saturates our lives: from the morning newspaper to televised late-night reports there is no denying the influence and impact media can have on our daily lives. In the context of a post September the 11th world, one of the dominant trends in press media is the use of fear-based rhetoric. This research paper is concerned with how the Canadian press media constructs fear, particularly the fear of disease, and how this fear is further disseminated through translation. As well, it explores some of the dominant discourses concerning translation in the press and in general. The main hypothesis is that translation acts as a space of contagion with the power to disseminate certain emotions that develop in response to current events. Observations include a case study of French and English-Canadian press articles on the avian flu and the discursive strategies used to convey fear of the disease, as well as a potential framework for translators of the press.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research project is focussed on the development of antibacterial surface coatings that are able to release antibiotics in a controlled manner for prolonged period of time. For this purpose, antibiotics were pre-loaded in nanoparticles and designed to release slowly. Eventually, antibiotic loaded nanoparticles were incorporated into thin films that inhibited pre-mature burst release resulting in a slow, sustained and controlled release of antibiotic for approximately two months. Antibacterial and anti-biofilm properties of developed system were maintained throughout the release period. Such antibacterial coating on the surface of implanted medical devices is expected to inhibit bacterial contamination/colonization thus will prevent indwelling device associated infections.

description: As online shopping is more and more common in everyday life, e-loyalty has become a very important issue in e-commerce. In this study, I propose an integrative model of e-loyalty development process and present a research design to test this model. The main factors that impact e-loyalty include customer satisfaction, trust, perceived value, service quality, and switching cost. Based on the theoretical model, a set of hypotheses was formulated. The scales used were adapted from former studies and will be further revised based on confirmatory factor analysis results. The survey will be sent to 200 participants. The model will be tested using structural equation modeling.

Ionotropic Receptor 25a C isoform is Responsible for Temperature and Chemical Sensing in Drosophila. melanogaster
Creators: name: Li, Xinyue
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2016

description: The ability to sense the environment is essential for animal survival. Insects are easily affected by different environmental changes, so it is critical for them to detect and distinguish various sensory inputs. The Drosophila melanogaster Ionotropic Receptor 25a (IR25a), an iGluR-related receptor, is widely expressed. Antennal expression of IR25a is involved in many sensory behaviors, including thermal sensing, hygrosensing and chemical sensing. It is also known that IR25a has four different isoforms, but how they work to distinguish sensory inputs is largely unknown. Here we generated Ir25a isoform specific knockout flies by using CRISPR/Cas9. Our immunohistochemistry showed that only the C isoform is expressed in antennae, suggesting that the C isoform is involved in chemical sensing, thermal sensing and hygrosensing. Our electrophysiology recording from the antennal coeloconic sensilla and from the arista of isoform-specific Ir25a mutants further confirmed that the C isoform is involved in chemical sensing and thermal sensing. Our work shows that the same isoform of Ir25a mediates chemical sensing, thermal sensing and hygrosensing. These data suggest that the same IR25a protein isoform combines with different co-factors to mediate different sensory modalities and leaves open the functions of the other IR25a isoforms.

description: Marine seaweeds are known to produce valuable medicinal compounds such as antioxidants and
anticoagulants, and have been reported to display antimicrobial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Several studies have identified so-called endophytic fungi living inside their hosts as the source of active compounds. In this study marine brown seaweed, Padina sp., was studied with regards to their endophytic fungi to assess if they are the source of the reported antimicrobial activity. Twenty fungal isolates were isolated from Padina sp. collected off Talang-Talang Island, Sarawak, Malaysia. All isolates were screened for their antimicrobial properties and 11 out of 20 isolates displayed positive results. DNA was successfully extracted for five isolates and sequence analysis grouped all of them with other endophytic fungi. “Fungus 2” seems to be related to a so far uncultured endophytic fungus. “Fungus 19” showed the most promising antimicrobial properties and was chosen for further agar well assay and cytotoxicity testing. Its ethyl-acetate extract showed
positive results in the agar well assay and also a cytotoxic effect on Artemia nauplii. The extract was screened using HPLC and showed a compound similar to a known anti-cancer compound, dihydromyricetin, which is also an anti-intoxicant, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative agent which may be responsible for the observed antimicrobial activity.
Human performance differences following the learning of behavior sequences by chaining procedures.

Subjects: subject: Psychology, Clinical.

description: Chaining procedures (forward chaining, backward chaining, and whole task craining) are used to teach sequences of behaviors to diverse populations. Recent research comparing the three procedures has revealed differences between the procedures in terms of acquisition variables e.g., number of errors made during learning, time required to the learn a sequence). Much less research has examined whether the procedures produce differences in performance following acquisition. A series of six experiments investigating performance differences following exposure to four chaining procedures are presented. The four chaining procedures included the three traditional chaining procedures--forward, backward, and whole task--as well as a random chaining technique. Overall, results indicated that forward chaining led to the most accurate and fastest performance of responses in the absence of the external antecedent stimuli used during training. Forward chaining also led to more accurate ordering of these stimuli following training. Random chaining led to the most accurate and the fastest performance of responses following presentation of the antecedent external stimuli out of sequence order. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

description: Since 2000, Russian players are increasingly absent from the National Hockey League. This project explores the relationship between changes in the political economy of Russian hockey and the factors that shape the migratory decisions of Russian players. In using Wallerstein's World Systems Theory, it is argued that specific events relating to a nation's place within an economic and/or cultural relationship can significantly alter patterns of migration. Russia's newfound economic strength and confidence on the world stage is evident in the support for the country's new Kontinental Hockey League. The resulting changes in the political economy of Russian hockey, coupled with the restrictive nature of the National Hockey League's salary cap have led to a tremendous decrease in the number of Russian players in the NHL.

description: Background. Previous studies have shown that aerobic activity such as a walking program help to maintain cardiovascular fitness, body composition, and QOL in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant therapy. Methods. Twenty women with histologically proven stage I--II breast cancer were randomized into either an experimental or control group. The patients began the program the same week that they began their chemotherapy treatments. Ten patients participated in a supervised walking program at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre which consisted of walking around a track for a minimum of twenty minutes three times per week, and on their own at home a minimum of two times per week, while ten patients served as served as a control group. Cardiovascular fitness, body composition, and quality of life (QOL) were compared at the time of entry into the study and 12 weeks later. Findings. The results of the present study suggest that a 12-week walking program, in this sample of stage I--II breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy, does not affect QOL or body composition. Only one measure of cardiovascular fitness was affected. The findings may have been more significant if not for the fact that 50% of the usual care group became physically active.

The Moderation Effect of Social Support on the Relations Between Sexual Identity Ambiguity Distress, and Internalizing Symptoms for Emerging Adults
Creators: name: Sillas, Andre

Sexual Identity Ambiguity Distress
Social Support

description: Sexual identity ambiguity may be a unique source of identity distress for emerging adults who may be questioning or uncertain about their sexual orientation. Increased identity distress has been associated with greater reported internalizing symptoms for emerging adults, but there is some research that suggests both family and peer social support may reduce this association. The current study aimed to investigate a) the association between sexual identity ambiguity distress and internalizing symptoms, b) the association between perceived social support and internalizing symptoms and c) whether higher perceived social support would reduce the association between sexual identity ambiguity distress and internalizing symptoms. Participants were 85 Brandeis emerging adults (ages 18-24, 61.6% female, 73.3% heterosexual identified), who reported on perceived family and peer social support, depression and anxiety symptoms, and sexual identity ambiguity with follow-up questions measuring sexual identity ambiguity distress. Preliminary results found a significant association between sexual identity ambiguity and higher overall internalizing symptoms, with a non-significant positive trend between sexual identity ambiguity distress and depression symptoms. Higher peer social support was associated with lower internalizing symptoms and lower depression symptoms. These preliminary findings demonstrate the importance of investigating potential protective factors that may reduce the negative impact of internalizing symptoms for emerging adults experiencing sexual identity ambiguity and/or sexual identity ambiguity related distress.

description: This research contrasted two methods for calculating the internal work of running. The methods are known as absolute work (also known as Winter's (1979) W$\sb{\rm wb}$ calculation) and absolute power. The study also examined whether or not there were differences in the amounts of internal work done by trained and untrained runners. The absolute work approach was believed to calculate internal work incorrectly. The absolute power approach, on the other hand, correctly computes internal work by taking the absolute power generated or absorbed at each joint and summing them across a movement cycle. Five trained and five untrained female runners were filmed, while running across a laboratory runway, by a cinecamera at 100 fps. Simultaneously, force plate data, for one step, were collected. The results showed absolute work values were three times the absolute power values. Furthermore, the results of the absolute work method were too large compared to the estimated physiological cost of running. Conversely, the absolute power method produced amounts of internal work that were too high but were much closer to the estimated physiological cost. There was no significant difference between work values of the two groups of runners, for the absolute power method. The correlations for the absolute power method were higher than those of the absolute work method. Based on the results, the absolute power method provided a more accurate estimate of locomotor cost of running.

The oxidation of olefins by permanganate and related reactions.

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

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, General.

description: A study was made of the various reactions which take place during the oxidation of an olefin by potassium permanganate. Though the experimental work reported here refers mainly to reactions conducted in aqueous media above pH7, the conclusions arrived at can be satisfactorily extended to explain the results obtained by other workers, under other reaction conditions. The oxidation was found to proceed under all reaction conditions by way of a cyclic ester intermediate (A). The route of the reaction is governed by the way in which the reaction conditions affect the decomposition of this intermediate. The following scheme demonstrates the kinds of reactions which have been shown to be involved.* (A) Obtained in 50--100% at 0--10° in aqueous media above pH12, and in 0--60% yield in mixed solvents. (B) Obtained in 80--90% yield using a 1--5 molar excess of permanganate and a olefin concentration of 0.1%; obtained in 25% yield using a 30-fold excess of permanganate. (C) Obtained in 20% yield using an olefin concentration of 0.5% and a 30-fold excess of permanganate. (D) Obtained in 10--20% yield in aqueous media in the pH region 7--10, using an olefin concentration of 0.5% and a 30-fold excess of permanganate; obtained in 0--50% yield in mixed solvents; obtained in 50--100% yield in non-aqueous media. The formation of the intermediate pi-complex and the hydroxyl ion-catalyzed rearrangement of this complex to the cyclic intermediate (A) were demonstrated by the results of a kinetic study of the reaction of permanganate with oleate ion. The order with respect to the permanganate and olefin concentrations was unity, whereas a complex order with respect to the hydroxyl ion concentration was observed. A number of different kinds of oxyanions, such as borate, tellurate and periodate, also appear to form pi-complexes with an olefin, since the addition of one of these oxyanions to the permanganate-olefin reaction mixture resulted in a kinetic competition for the olefin between permanganate and the added oxyanion. It was possible to calculate the equilibrium constant of an olefin-oxyanion complex by a suitable interpretation of the effect of the added oxyanion on the olefin-permanganate reaction. Thus a novel procedure can be developed for the study of certain kinds of pi-complexes. (Abstract shortened by UMI.) *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams.

description: Clinical decisions should take into account the clinical risk and benefit of a new intervention compared to the reference treatment. A method was developed to compare multiple competing interventions using a clinical cost-effectiveness approach. A meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the clinical cost (major bleeding) and benefit (averted venous thromboembolism) of thromboprophylaxis with different anticoagulants in orthopedic surgery. The increment in cost and benefit of anticoagulants compared to placebo were calculated using replications of the values obtained through Monte Carlo simulations. Net clinical benefit was calculated for each replication across a range of risk acceptance values (risk-benefit acceptability threshold). Multiple anticoagulants were compared by calculating the probability that each agent had of achieving the highest net clinical benefit. The preferred anticoagulants varied depending on risk acceptance, type of surgery, bleeding and thrombosis definitions, and timing of anticoagulant initiation. This method allowed comparing multiple interventions in the absence of randomized trials.

description: Semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) is expressed in the brain as a transmembrane protein and has been shown to regulate the development and maturation of GABAergic synapses via an unknown mechanism. Preliminary studies in the Paradis laboratory have shown that Sema4D is cleaved extracellularly in neurons with accumulation of an intracellular, C-terminal fragment. Using Western Blotting to monitor appearance of the Sema4D C-terminal cleavage product, we have demonstrated that Sema4D cleavage is metalloprotease-dependent in HEK293T cells using the metalloprotease activator, PMA, and broad spectrum metalloprotease inhibitor, GM6001. Additionally, we have used selective inhibitors for the metalloproteases ADAM10 and ADAM17, and our data suggest that ADAM10 cleaves Sema4D in HEK293T cells. We are currently exploring multivalent presentations of small molecule inhibitors to target Sema4D cleavage in neurons. To this end, we have synthesized a polymeric scaffold derived from the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) amenable to subsequent appendage with amine-bearing small molecule inhibitors. Conjugation of the commercially available metalloprotease inhibitor, TAPI-2, to the polymeric scaffold generates a multivalent metalloprotease inhibitor. We have shown a 100-fold enhancement of TAPI-2 inhibition potency from the multivalent display and we propose that such a display can potentially improve inhibitor selectivity. To optimize multivalent inhibitor effectiveness, we will explore variations in the valency (polymer length), inhibitor density, and inhibitor ligand structures and gauge the effects of these structural variations using our Western blotting assay. We will then apply the most effective inhibitor on rat hippocampal neurons to test the role of metalloproteases on Sema4D cleavage in the brain.

description: Comme les poèmes forment des recueils, les chansons se rassemblent en albums, desquels se dégage parfois une unité. Dans les albums conceptuels se tissent des liens thématiques entre les chansons. La première partie de ma thèse en création littéraire, Bagage excédentaire, renferme une vingtaine de textes de chanson qui constituent un album conceptuel narratif qui raconte un deuil et un voyage. La deuxième partie, Album narratif, album conceptuel, met en relief les notions théoriques liées aux aspects narratifs et thématiques de l'album conceptuel. Les temps, les thèmes, les lieux et les personnages du récit sont étudiés, de même que la structure de la diégèse et l'ordre des chansons dans deux albums, Le voyage de Paul Piché et Deflaboxe de Daniel Bélanger. J'y effectue également un retour sur Bagage excédentaire. En somme, ma thèse offre une vue d'ensemble des caractéristiques littéraires des textes qui composent les albums conceptuels.

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

Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: In this thesis, we present a real time feedback control strategy to optimize the dynamic performance of computer communication network. In previous studies [8-10], feedback delay, arising from communication delay, was shown to degrade system performance. Considering this negative impact of delay, we propose a new control law which predicts, in advance, the traffic and exercises control based on the predicted traffic. In experiments, we apple the token bucket (TB) mechanism to construct a discrete dynamic system model [8-10], in which one multiplexor, linked to all the TBs, multiplexes the conforming traffic that have been policed at TBs. We demonstrate that the improvement of the system performance by presenting the simulation results corresponding to different stochastic traffic models. The experiments and analysis in this thesis provide valuable insight for the network researchers to do traffic optimal control [35].
Taboo language and the ESL learner: An ethnographic study

subject: Education, Bilingual and Multicultural.

description: Taboo language (essentially 'bad' language) is a fixture of many aspects of contemporary English communication. Yet frank discussions regarding this topic are typically absent from ESL (English Second Language) classrooms. This ethnographic study, guided by a conceptual framework layering Bourdieu's Theory of Practice with insights from a multiple literacies perspective, seeks to understand something of the complex interplay of ESL learner/user identities and power relationships they experience as they relate to English taboo language. Findings indicate that taboo language literacy practices are taken up in hybrid and sometimes contradictory ways as ESL learners/users cross linguistic and cultural boundaries. Identities-in-transition become sites of tension and struggle, situated within the structures of symbolic domination, as ESL learners/users resist and appropriate different literacy practices in strategic struggles for legitimacy and symbolic power. By raising awareness of the social implications of taboo language, this research encourages ESL praxis more in tune with the identities and empowerment of ESL learners.

Metropolitan area network using photonic switching.
Creators: name: Cao, Wei-Wei.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: The high-bandwidth characteristic has made fiber optics very attractive for metropolitan area network (MAN) implementation. This paper describes the architecture and performance of an integrated fiber optics MAN called TreeNet. The upper level of the TreeNet consists of a tree and the lower level consists of linear buses. Stations are connected to the linear buses via passive taps while branches of the tree are interconnected using passive couplers. Active nodes are used between the two levels for traffic filtering. A Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) multihop architecture, ShuffleNet, is used for this TreeNet. Three hierarchical design models are proposed: (1) ShuffleNet in the upper level and Synchronous Time Division Multiplexing (STDM) in the lower level, (2) ShuffleNets in both upper and lower levels with dedicated channels between stations and the active nodes, (3) same as (2) except there are no dedicated channels. The performances of networks based on these three proposals are evaluated and discussed.
Nanophotonic manipulation of angular momentum of light for information optics
Creators: name: Ren, Haoran
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Optical technology offers an environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient solution for managing big data. Information can now be encoded onto angular momentum (AM) of light which offers an additional degree of freedom that could significantly boost the bandwidth of optical technology. We developed a nanophotonic chip consisting of an array of nano-waveguides that could offer unparalleled levels of control over the AM of light at a nanoscale, leveraging the use of a tiny photonic device for parallel AM information processing. Our work opens up exciting avenues for on-chip AM applications like ultrahigh-definition displays, ultrahigh-bandwidth communications, ultra-secure optical encryptions, and highly-sensitive biological sensing.
