description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, autoimmune neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by nervous system demyelination and heterogenous disability. Current disease modifying treatments accessible to Canadians are limited because they are primarily targeting the neuroinflammatory component of the disease, not the neurodegenerative component. There is a need for focus on development of therapies that target the demyelinating insults that people with MS experience. In this study, we evaluate the use of repeated remote ischemic postconditioning (RIC) as a therapeutic target for promoting white matter repair and protection. Due to the novelty of the intervention in the MS field, we first wanted to identify transcriptomic and proteomic changes to the spinal cord with repeated RIC. We found that targets involved in antioxidant, protein synthesis, angiogenesis, axonogenesis, and remyelination pathways (among others) were upregulated with 14 days of consecutive RIC. Using a focal demyelinating mouse model, we also described changes to the lesion environment using the repeated intervention. Repeated RIC did not reduce the lesion size in this injury model. However, targets such as plectin and neurofascin that were upregulated in the transcriptomic and proteomic data sets were also upregulated in the lesion of animals that received treatment. An increase in myelin in the lesion area was also found in the repeated RIC group when compared to sham. Overall, repeated RIC demonstrates potential for future use as a therapy to target white matter repair and protection.

description: Motivated by the prospect of attaining Majorana modes at the ends of nanowires, we analyze interacting Majorana systems on general networks and lattices in an arbitrary number of dimensions, and derive various universal spin duals. Such general complex Majorana architectures (other than those of simple square or other crystalline arrangements) might be of empirical relevance. As these systems display low-dimensional symmetries, they are candidates for realizing topological quantum order. We prove that (a) these Majorana systems, (b) quantum Ising gauge theories, and (c) transverse-field Ising models with annealed bimodal disorder are all dual to one another on general graphs. As any Dirac fermion (including electronic) operator can be expressed as a linear combination of two Majorana fermion operators, our results further lead to dualities between interacting Dirac fermionic systems. The spin duals allow us to predict the feasibility of various standard transitions as well as spin-glass type behavior in {\it interacting} Majorana fermion or electronic systems. Several new systems that can be simulated by arrays of Majorana wires are further introduced and investigated: (1) the {\it XXZ honeycomb compass} model (intermediate between the classical Ising model on the honeycomb lattice and Kitaev's honeycomb model), (2) a checkerboard lattice realization of the model of Xu and Moore for superconducting $(p+ip)$ arrays, and a (3) compass type two-flavor Hubbard model with both pairing and hopping terms. By the use of dualities, we show that all of these systems lie in the 3D Ising universality class. We discuss how the existence of topological orders and bounds on autocorrelation times can be inferred by the use of symmetries and also propose to engineer {\it quantum simulators} out of these Majorana networks.

description: Object detection has important applications in the field of autonomous driving. While 2D object detection lacks depth information and suffers from the scale problems of objects, 3D point cloud object detection is a more suitable alternative for autonomous driving. However, due to the character of point cloud data, sparsity is an inevitable problem in point cloud object detection, and single-frame methods still have their limitations. This research investigates using multiple frame point cloud data to enhance detection precision. Facing the sparsity challenge in point cloud data, single-frame detection methods perform detection independently without all the data together to improve detection. However, with proper fusion scheme, using multiple frame data can be similar to using denser lidar. In this work, multiple association and fusion methods are discussed. And finally a probability-based proposal feature fusion (PPFF) module is proposed. Chapter 3 proposes a two-stage point cloud object detection method using proposal feature fusion. Proposal association methods and feature fusion methods are discussed. In Chapter 4, the MHT tracker is discussed, and in Chapter 5, combined with the knowledge of MHT, a probability-based proposal feature fusion (PPFF) module for multiple-frame point cloud object detection is proposed. We compared our methods to current multiple-frame methods to show the improvement and effectiveness of our methods.
Beyond the Background: Exploring the Influence of Socioeconomic Status in Asynchronous Video Interviews

description: Asynchronous Video Interviews (AVIs) have revolutionized the hiring process, offering flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and convenience to both organizations and job applicants. While recent studies have highlighted the potential for background cues in AVIs to inadvertently disclose non-job-related information about job applicants, researchers have yet to explore this with socioeconomic status (SES). This study investigates whether AVIs might reveal cues about an applicant’s SES, which might remain concealed during face-to-face interviews, thereby potentially introducing unique biases in the hiring process. We determined if evaluators could discern SES differences based on a job applicant’s background and whether these cues influenced the perceived hireability of the job applicant. To enhance the realism of our findings and understand when such biases may be exacerbated, we simulated the conditions a hiring manager might face by inducing cognitive load (CL). In a sample of N = 300 American Cloud Research Connect participants, we used a 2 (low; high SES) by 2 (low; high CL) between-subjects experimental design. We found that although evaluators could identify differences in SES and did experience a difference in CL, these two factors did not directly influence the perceived hireability of the job applicant. However, contrary to our expectations, evaluators under significant CL took longer to decide on a job applicant’s suitability. Furthermore, we also investigated the role of evaluators’ characteristics, such as their own SES, attitude towards poverty (ATP), and social dominance orientation (SDO). Although these did not directly influence their ratings of the job applicant, we identified noteworthy correlations: participants’ perceptions of the SES from the background correlated with the job applicant’s a) perceived hireability, b) perceived SES, and c) perceived competence. These findings emphasize the need for further research into the subtle cues evaluators might use to gauge SES, which could impact a job applicant’s AVI evaluation.
The availability of gain-based damages for breach of contract
Creators: name: Maharaj, Krishneel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis examines, from an economic perspective, the problem of determining when and whether gain-based damages are an appropriate response to a breach of contract. Starting from the premise that such a remedy is needed to protect the integrity of contract’s institutional function, consideration is then given to the nature of that function and how gain-based damages may support it. The conclusion reached is that contract’s legal function is essentially economic and that gain-based damages may be of aid to courts in remedying inefficient outcomes arising from breach of contract, preventing economically inefficient breaches. The nature of a gain-based remedy is then explored, and enquiry is made into the potential means for developing such a remedy. After considering the potential to adapt a number of existing remedies, the thesis concludes that only an entirely novel development will fulfil the function of the remedy required, as adapting existing remedies will only create difficulties in other areas of law.

description: Surprisingly little is known about the origin and evolution of the Milky Way's satellite galaxy companions. UV photoionisation, supernova feedback and interactions with the larger host halo are all thought to play a role in shaping the population of satellites that we observe today, but there is still no consensus as to which of these effects, if any, dominates. In this paper, we revisit the issue by re-simulating a Milky Way class dark matter (DM) halo with unprecedented resolution. Our set of cosmological hydrodynamic Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) simulations, called the Nut suite, allows us to investigate the effect of supernova feedback and UV photoionisation at high redshift with sub-parsec resolution. We subsequently follow the effect of interactions with the Milky Way-like halo using a lower spatial resolution (50pc) version of the simulation down to z=0. This latter produces a population of simulated satellites that we compare to the observed satellites of the Milky Way and M31. We find that supernova feedback reduces star formation in the least massive satellites but enhances it in the more massive ones. Photoionisation appears to play a very minor role in suppressing star and galaxy formation in all progenitors of satellite halos. By far the largest effect on the satellite population is found to be the mass of the host and whether gas cooling is included in the simulation or not. Indeed, inclusion of gas cooling dramatically reduces the number of satellites captured at high redshift which survive down to z=0.

description: In this work we investigate and parameterize the amount and angular distribution of Cherenkov photons, which are generated by low-energy secondary particles (typically $\lesssim 500 $\,MeV), which accompany a muon track in water or ice. These secondary particles originate from small energy loss processes. We investigate the contributions of the different energy loss processes as a function of the muon energy and the maximum transferred energy. For the calculation of the angular distribution we have developed a generic transformation method, which allows us to derive the angular distribution of Cherenkov photons for an arbitrary distribution of track directions and their velocities.
Enabling Resilient Structures with Repeated Post-Tensioning Using Novel Iron Shape Memory Alloy System

Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Engineering--Civil

description: The degradation of reinforced concrete (RC) structures like bridge girders is concerning and emphasizes the need to invest in sustainable design practices. A proactive maintenance program employing an incremental post-tensioning (IP) technique should increase the service life of structures by inhibiting the ingress of moisture and harmful environmental agents which contribute to their degradation. IP is achieved using the shape memory effect of iron shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) which recovers deformations (representing a period of degradation) from preloaded beams. Eight beams were tested in a four-point bending configuration to validate the Fe-SMA prestress-strengthening system (FPSS). The deformation from varying preload amounts and subsequent recovery of those deformations from activating the FPSS were investigated to validate the capability of the system and demonstrate how the proactive maintenance approach enables structural resiliency. The beams were constructed of carbon nanofiber-infused, ultra-high-performance, fibre-reinforced concrete (CNF-UHPFRC), which couples the benefits of IP with the exceptional mechanical properties and contribution from the steel fibres and CNF. The IP beam had comparable flexural performance as that of the beam preloaded to 45% (beam ID PS30) of the reference load (68 kN, yield load of the beam strengthened with a non-activated Fe-SMA strip), even though it experienced a larger preload (75% of the reference load). Also, the results of beam IP showed structural resiliency in terms of crack widths and deflections. The midspan deflection at 45% of the reference load (representing a service load on the girder) for PS30 and beam PS60 (preloaded to 90% of the reference load) was 7.20 and 5.09 mm, respectively while it was 4.93 mm for the IP Beam. The bottom crack widths at 90% of the reference load (60 kN) for PS30 and PS60 were 0.61 and 0.79 mm, respectively while it was 0.5 mm for the IP beam. The yield loads for PS30 and PS60 were 70.85 and 76.11 kN, respectively, while it was 71.98 kN for the IP beam. The ultimate loads for PS30 and PS60 were 72.78 and 77.64 kN, respectively, while it was 72.75 kN for the IP beam. IP experienced a less ductile failure than PS60.

description: A new approach to the marine alkaloid cylindricine C afforded its previously unreported (±)-2,13-di-epi stereoisomer as the major product along with a minor amount of the racemic parent alkaloid. Key steps included a stereoselective dianion alkylation of a monoester of 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and an annulation based on the tandem conjugate addition of a primary amine to an acetylenic sulfone, followed by intramolecular acylation of the resulting sulfone-stabilized carbanion. The cis-azadecalin moiety thus formed, comprising the cyclohexane A-ring and enaminone B-ring of the products, was further elaborated by the selenenyl chloride-induced cyclofunctionalization of a pendant butenyl substituent with the enaminone moiety, followed by a seleno-Pummerer reaction. Desulfonylation and enaminone reduction afforded the final products. Molecular modeling and X-ray crystallography provided further insight into these processes.

description: The thesis studies the experiences of the Syrian Armenian refugees of the Syrian war in Canada. What makes them different from other Syrian refugees is not just their religion and ethnicity, but also their history and the traumas they carry. Most Syrian Armenians are descendants of the survivors of the Armenian Genocide. The trauma of the Genocide is central to Armenian identity, and its aftereffects haunt Armenians worldwide. The Syrian Armenian refugees that Canada accepted are therefore going through migration, trauma, and loss for a second time. The first is experienced through collective memory, the second is first-hand. The thesis studies the social organization of this trauma in the Syrian Armenian community and explores how it becomes a lens to make sense of war and forced migration and a resource to draw upon to remove oneself from a war zone and to bring oneself all the way to Canada’s safety. It argues that to understand refugee experiences and avoid generalizations that might lead to stereotypes, one needs to look beyond labels and take into account the biographies and histories of particular groups. Thus, this work joins scholarship that problematizes the mainstream definition of “refugee” as a passive victim in need of salvation by bringing to light the work Syrian Armenians did to be able to cross multiple borders and resettle in Canada. The overarching theoretical and methodological goal of the thesis is to empirically demonstrate how abstract notions such as transgenerational trauma, diaspora, refugeedom, political loyalty, and integration come to materialize in the everyday doings of ordinary people, and to show that they exist only in their actions, and inform their choices and their actualities. The investigation covers their experiences in Syria before and after the war, in other countries after leaving Syria, and finally in Canada. The research is located at the intersection of memory, trauma, diaspora, genocide, and refugee literature and is based on eighteen in-depth interviews, conducted in 2020 with Syrian Armenians in Quebec and Ontario.

description: Objective: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis may need to access rheumatology care between scheduled visits. WelTel is a virtual care platform that supports two-way text-based messaging between patients and their healthcare team. The objective of the present study was to explore perspectives and experiences of healthcare providers (HCPs) and patients regarding the use of text-messaging via WelTel as an adjunct to routine care. Methods: The 6-month WelTel pilot launched in September 2021 with 70 patients enrolled. Patients received monthly “How are you?” text-message check-ins and could message their healthcare team during clinic hours to request health advice. Thirty-nine patients and 21 HCPs were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis of transcripts was conducted using a deductive approach leveraging the Institute of Medicine Quality framework. Results: Thirteen patients (61.5% female, mean age 62, 10 white) completed interviews. Patients’ views suggested that text-messaging with the rheumatology team supported high quality care across multiple quality domains including patient-centeredness, timeliness, efficiency, safety, effectiveness, equity, and appropriateness. Seven HCPs (57% female) completed interviews. HCP perspectives varied dependent on whether they were adopters, partial adopters, or non-adopters of the WelTel platform, with more favorable views reported by adopters. Additional themes reported by HCPs included changes in workload and burnout. Conclusions: This foundational work suggests that patients perceive that adjunct text-messaging based care aids in the provision of high-quality care. Future studies should evaluate the impact on HCP workload and burnout and investigate the effect of texting on patient outcomes.

description: We show that the proton-proton elastic differential cross section data at dip position and beyond can be quite well described by a parametrization based on the Tsallis distribution, with only five free fit parameters. Extrapolation of the results obtained at 7 TeV to large momentum transfer, suggests that hadrons may not behave as a black-disk at the asymptotic energy region.

description: Hydrate-bearing sands (HBS) store large volumes of methane gas, and along with their potential to be commercially exploited using current oil and gas production techniques, make them suitable as a future energy resource. When hydrates form in the pore space of a sediment, they significantly increase the strength and stiffness of the host sediment. The enhancement in mechanical properties is influenced by various factors, such as hydrate saturation, in-situ stress conditions, sediment type (fine-grained or coarse grained). Our current understanding of HBS behavior is based on studies of laboratory synthesized hydrate-bearing specimens, however significant variation in reported values exist that has been suggested to arise from differences in hydrate formation methods, test apparatus, test conditions. Results from testing natural HBS samples, obtained from offshore India, suggest that the particle size impacts geomechanical properties. However, laboratory studies on synthesized specimens are typically conducted on sand specimens with narrow particle size distributions (PSD) and exclude larger particles. As such, there is a lack of understanding of what may lead to variations in mechanical properties of HBS. This thesis reports on a comprehensive experimental program conducted on laboratory synthesized hydrate-bearing sands for two different PSDs, whose particle size was chosen to better represent the coarse fraction observed in natural cores. The laboratory study included detailed analyses of the shear modulus evolution during the formation of hydrates in the pore space of sands. The research also explored the effect that the initial water saturation had on the pressure and temperature conditions when hydrate formation was initiated, along with how it impacted the stress-strain response after hydrate formation. The results from the extensive testing highlighted an inherent heterogeneity in geomechanical behavior of HBS specimens formed and subjected to similar conditions. Conceptual models were developed to help visualize the experimental observations and gain better insights into the factors that led to differences in formation characteristics and resulting hydrate morphology that developed within different sands. The results of this study highlight that the variations in the geomechanical behavior of HBS reported in literature may arise due to the heterogenous distribution of hydrate within laboratory synthesized HBS studies, which is also likely to exist in natural hydrate bearing cores. Observations from the testing will help researchers better understand the behavior of HBS over a wide range of sediment types and formation conditions, like under permafrost, or within offshore seabed sediments.

description: Para la teoría constitucional hay dos preguntas claves que surgen en cualquier discusión acerca de la creación de nuevas constituciones. Primero, ¿qué mecanismo debe utilizarse para el ejercicio del poder constituyente? La respuesta que la práctica del constitucionalismo contemporáneo le ha dado a esa pregunta es clara: la Asamblea Constituyente. La segunda pregunta, en la cual se centra este escrito, es: ¿qué tipo de poder posee (o puede poseer) una Asamblea Constituyente? La respuesta que la práctica del constitucionalismo contemporáneo ha ofrecido a esa pregunta es que dicho poder es un poder soberano. Mi propósito es demostrar que esa respuesta debe rechazarse. Para ello, utilizaré como ejemplo principal el caso colombiano y el artículo 376 de la Constitución de 1991.

description: Mapping brain activity to certain levels of task complexity is essential for creating environments of Virtual Reality (VR), which could adapt to the mental states of human users. To investigate the feasibility of such mapping, the research work of this thesis took an approach of two steps. At first, the levels of task complexity were defined according to the geometric and appearance parameters of objects that the users interacted with for executing a task. By associating the parameters to the execution of the task, this step remedied qualitative descriptions of the levels in current state-of-the-art. Secondly, an empirical study of two experiments was conducted within a VR to collect brain activities (as brainwaves) of human participants (i.e., users) during the execution involving various task complexity. Using a device of encephalography (EEG) to collect the brainwaves, this step assessed several existing features derived from the brainwaves as potential indicators of feasibility. This thesis produced two significant findings: (1) the definition of task complexity is quantitative and could be suitable for describing object-oriented tasks, and (2) specific EEG features – such as engagement ratio – could indicate increased or decreased levels of task complexity. Hence, the work indicates the feasibility of mapping brain activity to the levels of task complexity. Future investigations are needed to refine the definition, and EEG features for optimizing cognitive engagement and performance by modulating the levels of task complexity. The outcomes of the investigations could have implications for training, simulation, and user experience in various VR-based applications.

description: Basketball is a dynamic sport known for its fast-paced and multidirectional nature. The implementation of banking mechanisms has demonstrated performance enhancements and the potential to mitigate ankle and knee injury risks during non-linear movements. However, existing banking mechanisms used in a sport setting are often impractical for basketball. Lateral wedged insoles may be a promising alternative to address this challenge. The aims of this study were to assess the influence of lateral wedged insoles on the performance of basketball-specific movements and to observe any changes at the ankle or knee related to injury risk. Twenty-four collegiate basketball players (twelve females and twelve males) performed a shuffle, forward cutting, backward cutting, and sprinting drills, both with and without a 5° lateral wedged insole in their footwear. Performance times, subjective assessments, medial-lateral sway of the centre of mass, ground reaction forces (GRFs), as well as angles and moments of the left ankle and knee were compared using two tailed paired t-tests. Across all movements, completion time, ankle inversion angles, and knee frontal plane kinetics and kinematics remained unchanged. In the shuffle drill, the lateral wedge condition led to increased ankle plantarflexion moments, higher medial and vertical GRFs, and improved GRF vector alignment, resulting in reduced stance time. An increase in the average ankle eversion moment was observed, with no change in the peak value. While minor kinetic changes were observed in the forward and backward cutting drills with the lateral wedge condition, stance time remained unchanged. The lateral wedged insole had no impact on medial-lateral sway of the centre of mass, or the sagittal plane kinematics and kinetics during the sprint, suggesting that 5° lateral wedged insoles do not influence the performance of linear movements. In subjective assessments, participants expressed greater confidence in non- linear movements and improved stability with the lateral wedge condition, however, they rated the comfort of this condition significantly lower. The results indicate that lateral wedged insoles may induce modifications that could potentially enhance performance without changing the risk of ankle or knee joint injuries during lateral movements.
