description: Cette thèse s’intéresse au phénomène des collections de traductions dans la France du XIXe siècle, particulièrement entre les années 1821 et 1852, dans le but de dévoiler les identités réelles et les identités discursives des traducteurs qui y ont collaboré. Elle tire sa légitimité du peu de travaux effectués jusqu’à ce jour sur les collections de traductions, notamment dans le champ des études littéraires. Nous distinguons deux ensembles, celui de la traduction à partir des langues anciennes (grec et latin) et celui de la traduction à partir des langues modernes (anglais, allemand, italien et espagnol), et décrivons en détail l’architecture globale de cinq entreprises collectives, à savoir : la Bibliothèque Panckoucke, la Collection Nisard, Les Poèmes grecs d’E. Falconnet, la Collection Ladvocat et le Théâtre européen. Grâce à l’information recueillie sur les pages titres et dans les tables de matières, nous avons établi une liste première de 182 traducteurs qui ont signé des traductions en sein de ces entreprises prestigieuses. En adoptant la perspective « prosopographique », nous avons mené notre enquête sur l’identité réelle de ces traducteurs dans des dictionnaires de l’époque (la Biographie générale du Dr. Hoefer, le Dictionnaire des contemporains de Gustave Vapereau et le Grand dictionnaire universel de Pierre Larousse), avec le but de déterminer les horizons dont ils proviennent, leurs domaines d’intérêt, leurs groupes d’âge, leurs implication dans la société littéraire de l’époque, etc. En outre, ces collections nous ont servi de bases de données pour établir une liste de 169 préfaces de traducteurs dont la lecture sérielle, en ayant recours au concept de « scénographie », propre à l’analyse du discours, permet de dégager la personnalité discursive des signataires, de voir de quelle façon ils se présentent au public, et de vérifier jusqu’à quel point leurs identités réelles imprègnent leurs identités discursives. Nous proposons aussi dans cette thèse un essai de poétique et de typologie des préfaces des traducteurs dans les collections de traduction. Notre étude s’articule autour de quatre grandes questions auxquelles nous avons tenté de répondre essentiellement à partir des discours préliminaires des traducteurs : qu’est-ce qu’on traduit? pourquoi traduit-on? comment dit-on avoir traduit? et, finalement, qui traduit? Trois grandes figures de traducteurs s’y trouvent enfin définies : « l’érudit », « le littérateur » et « le lettré ». Les résultats de l’enquête sur les identités réelles des traducteurs ont été recueillis sous la forme de courtes notices bio-bibliographiques et exposés dans un dictionnaire à la fin de la thèse.

description: Within the thesis at hand, materials are interpreted as arrays of unit cells, similar to mechanical metamaterials. Additionally, each cell is equipped with design parameters, allowing it to adjust its effective behavior. Due to their internal design, these materials have the capability to fulfill a desired function. The simulation and the design of those materials cannot be handled with computational methods for common structures. To accomplish this task, a data driven simulation and optimization scheme is presented. The aim is, to find a distribution of design parameters, leading to a desired material behavior under given boundary conditions. Therefore, each cell is considered as homogeneous material, with its effective behavior being represented by a data driven surrogate model. With this, it is possible to consider almost arbitrary nonlinear structures with elastic but also viscoelastic behavior. The usage of the data driven surrogate model speeds up the simulation by a factor of magnitude 1,000 and more. Thus, it is possible to consider optimization problems with more than 105 cells and 2x105 design parameters.

description: Electromagnetic induction and eddy current inspection are significant methods for the non-destructive testing and measurements of material electrical and magnetic properties. This work presents an approach for applying such methods in the detection of objects position in the three-dimensional space with a small range (1 to 40 mm) and (1 to 10°). The detection resolution for two systems was investigated in this work. The first system is based on the electromagnetic induction between circular air coils (ICC). The proximity between the coils and their basic attributes were varied to track their influence on the detection resolution. In the second system, the eddy currents were induced in a circular plate of a non-magnetic material. The distance of this plate to the coils and its orientation were varied and the effect from eddy currents on a secondary coil was studied. An analytical solution was used to set the geometry parameters of the used coils according to specific selected inductances. In the next step, a time-dependent simulation study was carried out for each system and its results were compared to those gained from experiments. The results from experiments and simulations showed the different range of sensitivity according to distance between coils and tilt-angles. Finally, the simulation is used to optimize a system in order to gain better sensitivity or detection resolution. In conclusion, the presented systems represent a candidate for a proximity and deformation detection sensor. This sensor can be installed in multiple fields in the industry such as, robots, manipulators, milling and drilling machines. Further investigations are however essential to ensure a stabile detection possibility in several spatial directions and to improve the sensitivity by using other coil/material types.
Creature of circumstance: Australia's pavilion at Expo '70 and changing international relations

description: Subverting the expectation that expo pavilions incorporate recognizable markers of national identity, the Australian pavilion at the 1970 Japan World Exposition, Osaka, was conceived around a set of direct and oblique references to Japanese culture. The exposition’s Japanese audience was the target of architect James Maccormick’s ‘East-West’ approach to design, which sought to enhance Japanese opinions of Australia and Australians. Working from briefing papers prepared by the Department of External Affairs, Maccormick used references to Japanese culture to address perceived Japanese perceptions of Australians as ‘coarse’ and ‘uncultured’. The pavilion’s ambitious engineering tackled the Japanese view of Australia as under-industrialized. These themes coalesced in the design of the pavilion’s canopy roof. Shaped from Australian steel as a stylized lotus and suspended from a giant cantilever arm, its hovering form appealed to purported Japanese interest in mastery over nature while showing what Australia could do with its natural resources. Drawing on archival research and secondary sources, the paper argues that the design of the Osaka pavilion bypassed the usual renderings of Australian national identity based in rural enterprise and nature imagery to demonstrate a new, pragmatic approach to national representation open to recurrent reconstruction according to changing contexts and circumstances. In referencing Japanese culture, the pavilion’s design not only highlights Japan’s growing economic and strategic importance to Australia but marks an important change in Australia’s outlook on its inter-societal relations in the Asia-Pacific region. Despite the significance of these shifts neither the pavilion design nor Australia’s participation in Osaka is discussed in the principal accounts of relations between Australia and Japan in the twentieth century.

description: Humans have evolved the cognitive ability to perceive and associate dominance, masculinity, and emotions to animals and humans of larger sizes. Previous research has shown that humans are able to anthropomorphize nonbiological objects such as cars and attribute different characteristics to them. We hypothesized that larger vehicles are perceived and processed in a similar fashion as other biological agents, and are therefore considered more aggressive, dominant, and masculine compared to smaller vehicles. This study investigated the effect of vehicles’ size on the perception of dominance, masculinity, anger, and hostility. A total of 221 individuals (139 men and 82 women) participated in the study and rated vehicles of large and small sizes on four dimensions of Submissive-Dominant, Angry-Happy, Masculine-Feminine, and Hostile-Friendly. Results showed that participants rated larger vehicles as more dominant, angry, hostile, and masculine than smaller vehicles, supporting the proposal that, similar to biological agents, large vehicles are more threatening and are associated with higher dominance. Moreover, while men and women responded to size in a similar manner, the ratings of anger, masculinity, and hostility for large vehicles increased with the age of participants. The implications of this work are considered, including ways to enhance the social acceptance of autonomous vehicles.

description: Inactivity and sedentary behavioural patterns among children contribute greatly to a wide range of diseases including obesity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. It is also associated with other important health effects like mental health issues, anxiety, and depression. In order to reduce these trends, we need to focus on the highest contributing factor, which is lack of physical activity in children’s daily lives. 'Exergames' are believed to be a very good solution in promoting physical activity in children. Such games encourage children to engage in physical activity for long periods of time while enjoying their gaming experience. The purpose of this thesis is to provide means of directing child behaviour in a healthy direction by using gaming enhancements that encourage physical exertion. We believe that the combination of both exercising and learning modalities in an attractive gaming environment could be more beneficial for the child's well-being. In order to achieve this, we present an adaptive exergaming system, the "ExerLearn Bike", which combines physical, gaming, and educational features. The main idea of the system is to have children learn about new objects, new language, practice their math skills, and improve their cognitive ability through enticing games and effective exercise. Three games have been incorporated to provide children with various educational benefits. The system has personalized features that allow guardians to customize the learning content, skill level, and required physical activity to meet their child’s needs. A stationary bike is used as a gaming controller to encourage children to undertake daily aerobic exercise. A modular design approach was adopted so that it is possible to use any stationary bicycle as an input interface by simply attaching a number of devices to it. This thesis provides detailed information about the design requirements, the design model, the proposed system and its related hardware components, the design and development of the gaming software, and the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the system’s performance.

Measurability of Sample Compression Schemes

description: In 1998, it was proved by Ben-David and Litman that a concept space has a sample compression scheme of size $d$ if and only if every finite subspace has a sample compression scheme of size $d$. In the compactness theorem, measurability of the hypotheses of the created sample compression scheme is not guaranteed; at the same time measurability of the hypotheses is a necessary condition for learnability. In this thesis we discuss when a sample compression scheme, created from compression schemes on finite subspaces via the compactness theorem, have measurable hypotheses. We show that if $X$ is a standard Borel space with a $d$-maximum and universally separable concept class $\m{C}$, then $(X,\CC)$ has a sample compression scheme of size $d$ with universally Borel measurable hypotheses. Additionally we introduce a new variant of compression scheme called a copy sample compression scheme.

description: One major question in the area of Feminist Media Studies is to analyze the stereotypical female role portrayals in media. Researchers in this area have examined diverse media including television, radio, films, textbooks, literature and so on. Empirical evidence provided by these studies shows that women in media are often underrepresented or stereotypically portrayed in traditional roles such as housewives or mothers associated with feminine values, such as dependent, submissive, and passive. Using content analysis and semiotic analysis, this study is designed to examine the portrayals of female roles in a sample of contemporary (1949-2010) Chinese films. Content analysis is employed to examine how women have been portrayed in films, with the primary focus on the frequency of three types of female roles including (1) traditional roles, (2) modern role, and (3) ideal role. Results suggest that during this long period of time, representations and constructions of women in films have shifted from promotion of gender equality, to diminishing and erasing gender difference, and finally regressed to confining them to traditional roles while emphasizing traditional feminine values and expectations. In using semiotic analysis, this research is able to outline the connotative meanings of the female characters as well as the implicit cultural values and messages of gender that are embedded in films. On this cultural analysis, the findings reveal that female role portrayals in films, which are influenced by political, cultural, and social changes, remained associated with traditional feminine stereotypes, values, and expectations.

description: The overall purpose of this study is to determine the impact of social media on customer trust in small e-businesses. In addition, this research study seeks to find answers in particular on the level of improvement or enhancement, if any, that the use of social media has on consumer trust. Trust is an essential aspect in any business regardless of its size. Trust is what drives customers to purchase vendor products and services. In this digital age, small e-businesses are selling their products online. However, the lack of trust has been a major concern and a contributing factor to small businesses’ failures. This research uses a mixed-methods research design, utilizing two different approaches both qualitative and quantitative methods used alongside of each other. The first part of our findings presents the qualitative results from the interviews with a number of small e-businesses owners, and the second part shows the quantitative results from online surveys with the consumers. With the analysis of the two components of the study based on the results from the responses of the small e-business owners and the online consumers, we can infer that social media marketing has indeed greatly affected and changed the present small e-businesses trends. Our findings indicate that social media is at the present used as a trustworthy reference to gather information about the products and services of small e-businesses. The power of social media has also allowed customers and small e-businesses owners to build relationships and establish trust from their constant communication.
A Certified Core Policy Language

description: We present the design and implementation of a Certified Core Policy Language (ACCPL) that can be used to express access-control rules and policies. Although full-blown access-control policy languages such as eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) [OAS13] already exist, because access rules in such languages are often expressed in a declarative manner using fragments of a natural language like English, it isn’t alwaysclear what the intended behaviour of the system encoded in these access rules should be. To remedy this ambiguity, formal specification of how an access-control mechanism should behave, is typically given in some sort of logic, often a subset of first order logic. To show that an access-control system actually behaves correctly with respect to its specification, proofs are needed, however the proofs that are often presented in the literature are hard or impossible to formally verify. The verification difficulty is partly due to the fact that the language used to do the proofs while mathematical in nature, utilizes intuitive justifications to derive the proofs. Intuitive language in proofs means that the proofs could be incomplete and/or contain subtle errors. ACCPL is small by design. By small we refer to the size of the language; the syntax, auxiliary definitions and the semantics of ACCPL only take a few pages to describe. This compactness allows us to concentrate on the main goal of this thesis which is the ability to reason about the policies written in ACCPL with respect to specific questions. By making the language compact, we have stayed away from completeness and expressive power in several directions. For example, ACCPL uses only a single policy combinator, the conjunction policy combinator. The design of ACCPL is therefore a trade-off between ease of formal proof of correctness and expressive power. We also consider ACCPL a core policy access-control language since we have retained the core features of many access-control policy languages. For instance ACCPL employs a single condition type called a “prerequisite” where other languages may have very expressive and rich sets of conditions.

Occurrence —JDNM-266, JDNM-71D, UCMP V 4834.
Description —JODA 7192 is the anterior portion of a molar with one full loph and half of the second loph. It is smaller than the m3 of JODA 1321, which is assigned to Mammut sp. in the Rattlesnake Formation. JODA 7192 has a medial sulcus and lacks central conules. Approximate transverse width of the first loph is 44.39 mm and approximate width of second loph is 53.06 mm.
Remarks —Fragmentary material of proboscideans has been collected from the lower and middle units of the Mascall Formation. Specimens collected from JDNM- 266 were float material and may have weathered from the upper Mascall units above JDNM-266. The medial sulcus and lack of central conules in JODA 7192 suggest that it may be attributable to Zygolophodon Vacek, 1877. Zygolophodon is one of the taxa Tedford et al. (2004) lists as characterizing early Barstovian faunas; however, it is also present in the Hemingfordian age Massacre Lake fauna in Nevada (Lambert and Shoshani 1998). Zygolophodon has also been recovered from the early Barstovian Sucker Creek and Skull Springs faunas of Oregon, and the Virgin Valley and High Rock Canyon faunas of Nevada (Tedford et al. 2004). Earlier work on the Mascall deposits has reported the presence of Gomphotherium Burmeister, 1837 in the formation (e.g., Fremd et al. 1994, Prothero et al. 2006), but this study cannot find evidence for this genus in the type Mascall area.

description: A multilayered system is a good model for many optical systems. An optical coherence tomography (OCT) system can provide fundamental information about the refractive index distribution of the sample and enables images to be corrected for geometric accuracy, but this requires the separation of refractive index and physical thickness for each layer from the measured optical paths. In this thesis a novel approach for simultaneous extraction of index and thickness of multi layer systems and the last medium index of refraction in a single experiment using only the object’s spectral response available by any Fourier Domain OCT system without using any additional outside measurements is introduced. The method is based on a novel matrix equation that uses the reflected spectrum from the object and the measured optical thickness. In the presence of slight error of measuring optical thickness, the parameters extraction has wavenumber dependency. A novel method is used to select the suitable set of spectral components that reduces the extracted parameters error. The parameters extraction method is followed by a fitting process for optimized results. The method works the best for low contrast index distribution even in the presence of relatively large optical thickness measurement error.

description: Knowledge of the intrinsic properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp) single crystals is important for the design of natural systems and will assist further improvements of manufactured biomaterials. Nanoindentation provides a useful tool for determining mechanical properties such as the hardness, elastic modulus and fracture toughness of small samples. A Berkovich indenter was placed on the side and basal planes of a natural single crystal of Durango HAp. The hardness and elastic modulus values obtained revealed higher values for the base (7.1 and 150.4 GPa) compared to the side (6.4 and 143.6 GPa). The cracking threshold, i.e., the load at which cracking initiates, revealed earlier crack formation on the base (at 8 mN) compared to the side (at 11 mN). Fracture toughness was measured as 0.45 ± 0.09 and 0.35 ± 0.06 MPa m1/2 for the side and basal plane, respectively. These results suggest that crystals are less prone to cracking and resist microcrack events better on the side, which is useful in bone, while exposing the base, the hardest face, to minimize mass loss from abrasion with teeth.

description: Predictive Maintenance is a crucial technique to reduce machine downtime. One challenge is the absence of labeled run-to-failure data. This thesis explores whether predicting a system’s physical response to external impulses can help detect anomalies, especially when only the machine’s normal behavior is known. For that, we show that the simple mass-spring-damper model explains most of the axis vibrations of an exemplary production machine. With this finding, we propose a semi-supervised anomaly detection approach, TCN-AD, which predicts a sensor signal based on parallel recorded signals. Our study reveals that the TCN-AD sensor signal prediction is quite accurate for normal data. The prediction error of TCN-AD serves as a score that is useful for identifying anomalies, as supported by our comparison with other anomaly detection algorithms. For one of the datasets that we looked at, we show that a simple FFT-based score gives similar results to the anomaly scores produced by LSTM-AD and our own TCN-AD. This similarity is reflected by the Pearson correlation coefficient, which is larger than 0.94 for all combinations of TCN-AD, LSTM-AD, and FFT-Score.

description: The metabolism of estuarine environments is often estimated by measuring changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations. A central assumption of common oxygen-based approaches is that oxygen consumption rates (primarily respiration) are similar under light and dark conditions. Evaluating this assumption is critical, especially in benthic-dominated systems, because differences between daytime and nighttime respiration could result in underestimation or overestimation of ecosystem productivity. We evaluated rates of gross oxygen production over hourly to seasonal time scales in a shallow, temperate salt marsh pond. To assess whether a dissolved oxygen diel mass balance underestimated gross oxygen productivity, we compared rates using this traditional approach and using the triple oxygen isotope tracer of photosynthesis. This is a powerful combination because the triple oxygen isotope approach is theoretically insensitive to respiration. The methods agreed well over daily to seasonal time scales. However, during midday periods of peak light and productivity, the triple oxygen isotope approach resulted in higher hourly-scale gross oxygen production rates. The timing and magnitude of this short term difference is consistent with light-dependent oxygen uptake fluxes including photoreduction and/or light-stimulated community respiration. Finally, aquatic vegetation was associated with variability in productivity across the pond. Such small scale environmental heterogeneity is evidence that this shallow pond was not laterally well mixed, and likely contributes to the dynamism of these common estuarine environments.

Significant life experience

description: Relatively little research exists on the life significance of outdoor education (OE) programs and courses. There is increasing interest in the OE field to move beyond simply focusing on program-specific outcomes to developing more evidence-based models that analyze the influence of specific mechanisms of change. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the significant life effect of a university OE course upon participants after the course, including the effect of the course upon participants’ intrapersonal, interpersonal and environmental relationships. The present investigation was a two part qualitative-quantitative study. The overarching research question was: What is the perceived life significance of a university undergraduate OE course? The current study involved in-depth interviews with a purposive intensity sample of 17 University of Ottawa alumni who had taken one of the university’s OE courses more than 20 years ago, followed by a web-based survey questionnaire completed by 46 University of Ottawa alumni and students who had taken one of the university’s OE courses between 1975 and 2009. Some of the survey participants had taken both the summer and winter OE courses offered by the University of Ottawa so there was a total of 65 separate course responses in the quantitative study. The findings from this study suggested that the OE course led to development of interpersonal skills, self-discovery, environmental impacts, leisure style change, and increased outdoor knowledge and skills amongst the participants. The idea that this outdoor knowledge and skills was transferred to others (e.g., students and children) also emerged from the data. In addition, in some instances participants expressed the idea that the OE course helped confirm or reinforce already-held beliefs about the outdoors. It is hopeful that the current findings can contribute to OE professional practice and demonstrate the need for OE in university settings.

description: The plays of James Boaden, an author all too often forgotten in the pages of theatre history, are usually dismissed by scholars as mercenary adaptations of popular Gothic novels for the stage. Boaden’s plays of the 1790s—Fontainville Forest (1794), The Secret Tribunal (1796), The Italian Monk (1797), Cambro-Britons (1798) and Aurelio and Miranda (1799)—were certainly popular successes in their own time, but this should not discount them from serious consideration as aesthetic and ideological objects. In fact, these plays are intelligently wrought, using popular Gothic conventions to further a conservative ideology that was not originally associated with this genre. This fact has gone unrecognized by scholars partly because these plays have not been previously analysed for their dramaturgical structure as adaptations: Boaden borrows conventions from the Gothic, to be sure, but he also borrows dramaturgical techniques from Shakespeare. In so doing, Boaden harnesses both popular appeal and theatrical legitimacy to write Tory propaganda at a time when the stage was a key tool in the ideological war against France and French sympathizers in Britain. Political threats, both domestic and foreign, were of ongoing concern in Britain in the years following the French Revolution. Immediately after 1789, the Gothic was ideologically charged in ways that promoted revolutionary thinking. Boaden’s adaptation of the Gothic form responds to the revolution and the Reign of Terror by replacing the genre’s iconoclasm with a strongly nationalist orientation, drawn, in part, from eighteenth-century Shakespeare reception, itself often strongly nationalist in tone. Boaden’s plays are reactionary in that they comment on the current political situation, using allegory to play on the audience’s emotions. In his first phase, Boaden depicts the demise of a villainous usurper, a scapegoat figure, but his second phase reintegrates the villain into domestic and social harmony. In so doing, Boaden serves as a case study in the shifting attitude towards Britain’s revolutionary sympathizers, the Jacobins, and illustrates the important use of the Gothic mode for conservative purposes. Boaden emerges, in this study, as a figure whose relevance to theatre history in this fraught period requires reassessment.

Characterization of multiple conductance states in a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor/channel preparation.

description: The acetylcholine-activated channel of vertebrate skeletal muscle, as manifested in cultured developing cells, is able to adopt more than one conductance state. This thesis reviews the evidence for such multiple conductance channels and presents single channel data suggesting that subconductances represent discrete, allosterically-activated channel conformations. Since the amplitude of subconductance openings does not depend on agonist size or valence, the possibility that subconductances occur during partial occlusion of the channel by agonist molecules was ruled out. The conductances found for each event type are as follows; M Type = 40pS, S1 = 13pS and S2 = 7pS. While agonists do not determine conductance of the AChR, different agonists have differential abilities at stabilizing the sublevel openings. The kinetic analysis of open time histograms for the various conductance states reveals that the full channel openings are made up of two distinct kinetic open states; one of which is agonist-dependent and the other agonist-independent. In general, the subconductances S1 and S2 both displayed openings with a single agonist-independent time constant. Bursting behavior in the G8 AChRs was observed when channels were activated by strong agonists.

description: Background: Line blot immunoassays (LIA) for myositis-specific (MSA) and myositis-associated (MAA) autoantibodies have become commercially available. In the largest study of this kind, we evaluated the clinical performance of a widely used LIA for MSAs and MAAs. Methods: Adults tested for MSA/MAA by LIA at a tertiary myositis centre (January 2016–July 2018) were identified. According to expert-defined diagnoses, true and false positive rates were calculated for strongly and weakly positive autoantibody results within three cohorts: idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), connective tissue disease (CTD) without myositis, and non-CTD/IIM. Factors associated with true positivity were determined. Results: We analysed 342 cases. 67 (19.6%) had IIM, in whom 71 autoantibodies were detected (50 strong positives [70.4%], 21 weak positives [29.6%]). Of the strong positives, 48/50 (96.0%; 19 MSAs, 29 MAAs) were deemed true positives. Of the weak positives, 15/21 (71.4%; 3 MSAs, 12 MAAs) were deemed true positives. In CTD without myositis cases (n = 120), 31/61 (51.0%; 5 MSAs, 26 MAAs) autoantibodies were strongly positive, with 24/31 (77.4%; 0 MSAs, 24 MAAs) true positives. 30/61 (49.2%; 13 MSAs, 17 MAAs) were weakly positive, with 16/30 (53.3%; 0 MSAs, 16 MAAs) true positives. In non-CTD/IIM cases (n = 155), all 24 MSAs and 22 MAAs were false positives; these results included 17 (37.0%; 7 MSAs, 10 MAAs) strong positives. Individual autoantibody specificities were > 98.2 and > 97.5% for weakly and strongly positive results, respectively. True positivity was associated with high pre-test for IIM (odds ratio 50.8, 95% CI 13.7–189.2, p < 0.001) and strong positive (versus weak positive) results (4.4, 2.3–8.3, p < 0.001). Conclusions: We demonstrated the high specificity of a myositis LIA in a clinical setting. However, a significant burden of false positive results was evident in those with a low pre-test likelihood of IIM and for weakly positive autoantibodies.

description: One of the most crucial steps towards nanopore-based nucleic acid analysis is extending the dwell time of DNA molecules within the sensing region of the nanopore. I address this issue by interfacing solid-state nanopores with gel media, which sterically hinders translocating DNA molecules, increasing dwell times. Specifically, my experimental results focus on two reptation regimes: when the DNA molecule is flexible on the length scale of the gel pore, and when the DNA molecule is inflexible on the length scale of the gel pore. The first regime is achieved through the use of agarose gel and 5 kbp dsDNA fragments, and produces a wide distribution of translocation times, spanning roughly three orders of magnitude. The second regime is achieved through the use of polyacrylamide gel and 100 bp dsDNA fragments, and displays a shift in translocation times by an order of magnitude while maintaining a tight distribution.
