description: Background: The majority of people living with the effects of stroke experience participation challenges. Occupational Performance Coaching for stroke survivors (OPC-Stroke) is designed to promote engagement in personally identified participation goals and develop the ability to address future participation goals. Purpose: This thesis explored the potential efficacy of OPC-Stroke, its mechanisms of action, and the feasibility and acceptability of the randomized controlled trial methods to inform the planning of a larger trial. Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial with an embedded qualitative component. Twenty-one participants were randomly assigned to receive 10 sessions of OPC-Stroke or usual care. Participation, goal performance and satisfaction, goal self-efficacy, emotional well-being, and cognition were measured at pretest, posttest and six months follow-up. Qualitative interviews were conducted at posttest with individuals who were in the intervention group. Results: No significant between group differences were noted for any outcomes, although scores for cognition approached significance (p=0.065) and also showed a large effect size (partial eta squared =0.167). Examination of effect sizes indicated a moderate clinically significant benefit of OPC-Stroke for goal performance and satisfaction scores (partial eta squared = 0.075 and 0.078 respectively). Participation scores improved for both groups but the overall trajectory of participation seemed to be different between groups. Goal self-efficacy remained stable across time and groups, and emotional well-being declined in both groups. Qualitative findings confirmed that all components - emotional support, individualized education and goal-focused problem-solving - made important contributions to promote achievement of participant-selected participation goals. Recruitment, retention and outcome measure completion rates were satisfactory. Conclusion: Based on the effect sizes of goal performance and satisfaction, and cognition, a larger trial to examine the efficacy of OPC-Stroke is warranted. Further work to select the most appropriate tools to measure participation and goal self-efficacy is recommended prior to the next trial.

description: Im Rahmen eines Forschungsvorhabens des Umweltbundesamts (UBA) wird untersucht, welchen Beitrag Wasserkraftwerksbetreibende zur Reduktion von Meeresmüll leisten. Anhand von Expert:innen-Interviews wurden dafür die Menge und Zusammensetzung von Zivilisationsmüll im Rechengut an insgesamt 152 Wasserkraftwerken (WKW) am Rhein und seinen Zuflüssen sowie der Weser erfasst. Den Interviewten zufolge werden an den untersuchten WKW jährlich ca. 80-450 Tonnen und weitere 810-2.020 Kubikmeter Zivilisationsabfälle ausgetragen, die andernfalls in die Nordsee gelangen könnten. WKW stellen somit einen wichtigen Austragspfad für Abfälle aus Flüssen dar. Die am häufigsten genannten Abfallarten waren Verpackungen von Lebensmitteln, Freizeit- und Sportgegenstände, weitere Kunststoffe und Verpackungen sowie Autoreifen. Zur Reduzierung des Eintrags werden Handlungsempfehlungen zur Vermeidung, Verhinderung des Eintrags und zum weiteren Austrag von Abfällen an WKW ausgesprochen. Als Forschungsbedarf werden insbesondere Sortieranalysen und Analysen der Daten von Entsorgungsunternehmen sowie ein besseres Verständnis über die an Wasserkraftwerken vorbeifließende Menge an Zivilisationsabfällen identifiziert.

description: The temperature of the flow entering a high-pressure turbine stage is inherently non-uniform, as it is produced by several discrete, azimuthally-distributed combustors. In general, however, industrial simulations assume inlet temperature uniformity to simplify the preparation process and reduce computation time. The effects of a non-uniform inlet field on the performance of a commercial, transonic, single-stage, high-pressure, axial turbine with a curved inlet duct have been investigated numerically by performing URANS (Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations) simulations with the SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model. By adjusting the alignment of the experimentally-based inlet temperature field with respect to the stator vanes, two clocking configurations were generated: a vane-impinging (VI) case , in which each hot streak impinged on a vane; and a mid-pitch (MP) case, in which each hot streak passed between two vanes. In the VI configuration, the hot streaks produced higher time-averaged heat load on the vanes and lower heat load on the blades. As the hot streaks in the VI case passed over the stator vanes, they also spread spanwise due to the actions of the casing passage vortices and the radial pressure gradient; this resulted in a stream entering the rotor with relatively low temperature variations. The hot streaks in the MP case were convected undisturbed past the relatively cool vane section. Relatively high time-averaged enthalpy values were found to occur on the pressure side of the blades in the MP configuration. The non-uniformity of the time-averaged enthalpy on the blade surfaces was lower in the VI configuration. The flow exiting the rotor section was much less non-uniform in the VI case, but differences in calculated efficiency were not significant.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht offene Fragen der bruchmechanischen Festigkeitsbewertung von Hohlzylindern und geschweißten Rohrverbindungen unter kombinierter Belastung durch Primär- und Sekundärspannungen. Zum Teil wird das Bewertungskonzept der bruchmechanischen Regelwerke für die untersuchten Bauteile bestätigt, jedoch werden auch Probleme identifiziert und hierfür verschiedene Lösungsvorschläge mit der Empfehlung der entsprechenden Überarbeitung der bruchmechanischen Regelwerke im Rahmen von weiteren Forschungsarbeiten aufgezeigt. So weisen die untersuchten geschweißten Rohrverbindungen aufgrund der hohen Spannungsmehrachsigkeit des Schweißeigenspannungsfelds Risszähigkeitswerte auf, die geringer sind als die an einer C(T)-25-Standardprobe ermittelte Risszähigkeit. In diesem Fall resultiert das in den Regelwerken gegebene Bewertungskonzept in einer nichtkonservativen Fehlerbewertung. Hierfür werden zwei Lösungsvorschläge basierend auf dem Constraint-Parameter Q aufgezeigt und deren Optimierung zur Ermöglichung einer Implementierung in die bruchmechanischen Regelwerke als Ausblick für weitere Forschungsarbeiten vorgeschlagen.

description: Gasification is a promising technique for transforming solid biomass into a gas that can be used to produce renewable heat, power, fuels or chemicals. Biomass materials, such as forestry residues, can be high moisture, heterogeneous mixtures with low bulk density - properties that make them difficult to handle and convert. Consequently, this means that feedstock pre-treatment is usually necessary in order to facilitate its conversion by gasification. Pre-treatments methods, which include comminution, drying, pelletization, torrefaction, or carbonization will affect the properties of the biomass which will affect their gasification in a fluidized bed. The objective of this thesis was to determine how biomass pre-treatment can influence gasification in a fluidized bed. A single forestry residue was processed using five pre-treatment process levels: sieving (as a surrogate for comminution), drying (moisture content), pelletization, torrefaction, and carbonization. The fractions derived from these processes were gasified in a small pilot-scale air blown bubbling fluidized bed gasifier (feed rate 8 – 25 kg/h). The particle size and form had an impact on the gas composition, tar content, and cold gas efficiency of the gasification. Over the conditions tested, the finest fraction produced a gas with a H2/CO ratio of 0.36 – 0.47 containing 7 – 59 g/m3 tar (gravimetric) at a cold gas efficiency of 30 - 41%. The pellets on the other hand yielded a gas with a H2/CO ratio of 0.89 - 1.14, containing 3 – 37 g/m3 tar (gravimetric) at a cold gas efficiency of 41 – 60%. Drying, torrefaction and carbonization also had an impact on the gasification performance. Carbonization was able to reduce the yield of tar (as measured by gas chromatography) by more than 95% relative to the parent material. Finally, four different forestry residues were gasified in a large pilot-scale bubbling fluidized bed with air and steam-oxygen mixtures (feed rate 200 – 245 kg/h) in order to assess whether the comminution effect could be observed at the large scale. One feedstock with a significant portion of small particles showed the expected effects compared to the feed materials with large feed particles: lower H2/CO ratio, greater tar yield, lower cold gas efficiency while the other feed material containing a substantial amount of small particles did not show these effects.

description: At the heart of high harmonic generation lies a combination of optical and collision physics entwined by a strong laser field. An electron, initially tunnel-ionized by the field, driven away then back in the continuum, finally recombines back to rest in its initial ground state via a radiative transition. The emitted attosecond (atto=10^-18) XUV light pulse carries all the information (polarization, amplitude and phase) about the photorecombination continuum-to-ground transition dipolar field. Photorecombination is related to the time-reversed photoionization process. In this perspective, high-harmonic spectroscopy extends well-established photoelectron spectroscopy, based on charged particle detection, to a fully coherent one, based on light characterization. The main achievement presented in this thesis is to use high harmonic generation to probe femtosecond (femto=10^-15) chemical dynamics for the first time. Thanks to the coherence imposed by the strong driving laser field, homodyne detection of attosecond pulses from excited molecules undergoing dynamics is achieved, the signal from unexcited molecules acting as the reference local oscillator. First, applying time-resolved high-harmonic spectroscopy to the photodissociation of a diatomic molecule, Br2 to Br + Br, allows us to follow the break of a chemical bond occurring in a few hundreds of femtoseconds. Second, extending it to a triatomic (NO2) lets us observe both the previously unseen (but predicted) early femtosecond conical intersection dynamics followed by the late picosecond statistical photodissociation taking place in the reaction NO2 to NO + O. Another important realization of this thesis is the development of a complementary technique to time-resolved high-harmonic spectroscopy called LAPIN, for Linked Attosecond Phase INterferometry. When combined together, time-resolved high-harmonic spectroscopy and LAPIN give access to the complex photorecombination dipole of aligned excited molecules. These achievements lay the basis for electron recollision tomographic imaging of a chemical reaction with unprecedented angstrom (1 angstrom= 0.1 nanometer) spatial resolution. Other contributions dedicated to the development of attosecond science and the generalization of high-harmonic spectroscopy as a novel, fully coherent molecular spectroscopy will also be presented in this thesis.

description: Potenziale zur Strom- und Wärmeerzeugung von Quartieren können im Vergleich zu dezentralen Versorgungsstrukturen auf Gebäudeebene besser genutzt werden. Quartiersbezogene Ansätze sind jedoch komplexer und es existiert eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, wie die Energieversorgung gestaltet werden kann. Hierzu sind mehrkriterielle Optimierungen zur Unterstützung des Planungsprozesses und der Entscheidungsträger hilfreich, um letzteren Entscheidungen auf objektiver Basis zu erleichtern. In dieser Arbeit erfolgt ein Vergleich von Optimierungsmethoden zur optimalen Anlagenauslegung im Energiesystem (Strukturoptimierung). Durch die Optimierungsmethoden soll hinsichtlich Kostenund Emissionszielen eine paretooptimale Menge an Auslegungsvarianten für das Energiesystem bereitgestellt werden. Exakte Methoden finden bei ausreichend langer Rechenzeit in der Theorie immer ein Optimum. Mit zunehmender Komplexität des Optimierungsproblems steigt die Rechenzeit jedoch erheblich an, sodass keine guten Lösungen unter Zeitrestriktionen gefunden werden. Metaheuristische Methoden können komplexe Probleme in vergleichsweiser kurzer Zeit lösen. Dafür geben sie jedoch keinerlei Aufschluss darüber, ob die gefundene Lösung ein globales Optimum des Optimierungsproblems darstellt. Für den Methodenvergleich werden in dieser Arbeit ein exaktes und ein metaheuristisches Optimierungsmodell, die jeweils auf exakten bzw. metaheuristischen Methoden beruhen, zur Strukturoptimierung von Quartiersenergiesystemen entwickelt. Der Methodenvergleich wird anhand eines Referenzenergiesystems durchgeführt. Bei diesem handelt es sich um ein im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekt SWIVT untersuchtes Wohnquartier in dessen Energiesystem regenerative Energiequellen integriert sind. Der Methodenvergleich hat gezeigt, dass das exakte Optimierungsmodell stets zu bevorzugen ist, wenn das Optimierungsproblem damit in annehmbarer Zeit gelöst werden kann. In diesen Fällen wurden die Lösungen des metaheuristischen Optimierungsmodell stets durch die Lösungen des exakten Optimierungsmodells dominiert. Ist das Problem jedoch so komplex, dass das exakte Optimierungsmodell keine Lösung in annehmbarer Zeit findet, so stellt das metaheuristische Optimierungsmodell eine Alternative dar, eine paretooptimale Menge von Auslegungsvarianten zu ermitteln.

Le Nord-Est constitue en effet un terrain particulièrement intéressant pour explorer les luttes ontologiques (Escobar, 2013) qui ont construit l’économie, en ont dessiné les contours, les frontières, et par le fait même, ce qui en est exclu ou à la marge car, depuis les années 1960, cette région a été la cible de nombreux projets, programmes et efforts de « développement ». L’analyse s’appuie sur les approches théoriques de performation (Callon, 1998; Menuisa et Callon, 2008; Miller, 2011), qui met l’accent sur le rôle des sciences économiques dans la construction de l’économie, et de la sociologie des absences (Santos, 2011, 2004a, 2004b), qui explore les processus de dévalorisation et d’invisibilisation de certaines pratiques. En démontrant les luttes ontologiques qui ont contribué à construire l’économie dans ce contexte spatial, temporel et culturel, cette thèse argumente qu’une approche théorique de performation qui approfondie aussi la compréhension des pratiques dévalorisées a le potentiel de remettre en question certaines représentations économiques dominantes, tout en élargissant l’éventail des possibilités de revitalisation de régions considérées à la marge de l’économie. Dans le cas du nord-est du Nouveau-Brunswick, certaines pratiques, dont celles d’agriculture et de pêche de subsistance, sont encore présentes quoiqu’elles aient été largement exclues de l’économie. Cette marginalisation résulte des efforts de développement axés sur des discours encourageant des pratiques économiques en soutien à l’État-providence, tel que l’accent mis sur l’augmentation du travail salarié ainsi que la croissance des revenus et de la production. L’approche théorique proposée permet de mettre en évidence d’autres pratiques et conceptions économiques émergentes, principalement dans le domaine agroalimentaire, qui proposent de rebâtir les liens entre l’agroalimentaire et la communauté, articulé à une ontologie économique qui tient compte des impacts des pratiques économiques sur l’environnement et le milieu naturel.

Isle Madame

description: More frequent and harsh storms coupled with sea level rise are affecting Canada’s sensitive coastlines. This research studies Isle Madame in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia which has been designated by Natural Resource Canada as a sea level rise vulnerable coastal community in Canada. The research models the spatial and temporal impacts of sea level rise from storm surge by focusing on identifying vulnerable areas in the community via geographical information systems (GIS) using ArcGIS, as well as modeling dynamic coastal damage via system dynamics using STELLA. The research evaluates the impacts in terms of the environmental, social, cultural, economic pillars that profile the coastal community for a series of modelled Storm Scenarios. This research synthesizes information from a variety of sources including the coastal ecology and natural resources, as well as human society and socioeconomic indicators included in the four mentioned pillars. The objective of the research is to determine vulnerable areas on Isle Madame susceptible to storm damage, and consequently, to improve local community knowledge and preparedness to more frequent harsh storms. This research therefore presents a dynamic model for the evaluation of storm impacts in Isle Madame designed with the goal to help the community ultimately to plan and implement a strategy to adapt to pending environmental change.

description: La culture indienne a longtemps été identifiée à une philosophie où le monde n’est qu’illusion, où les sens s’avèrent trompeurs, et où, donc, il est nécessaire de se détacher du corps afin d’atteindre une réalité suprême, en dehors de ce monde. Pourtant, une courte immersion dans la réalité quotidienne de l’hindouisme, en particulier par rapport à sa forme dévotionnelle (bhakti) et au rituel de la pūjā s’y rattachant, laisse entendre tout le contraire. Le monde dévotionnel hindou s’avère en fait plongé dans un univers hautement incorporé et sensoriel. La présente thèse se donne pour objectif de réaliser la profondeur de cette nature incorporée et hautement sensorielle de la bhakti hindoue. C’est en envisageant l’utilisation des sens non seulement comme le résultat d’un apprentissage culturel, mais également comme le locus de la connaissance du monde, que la méthodologie proposée par l’anthropologie sensorielle nous permettra de réaliser l’ampleur du rôle joué par le sensorium dans la compréhension, l’acquisition et la communication avec le divin. Nous concentrerons cette étude sur la pūjā hebdomadaire effectuée par la communauté hindoue d’Ottawa au temple Vishva Shakti Durgā. Cette analyse révélera que c’est en utilisant ses sens que le dévot réussit à entrer en contact avec le divin et que c’est également en exploitant divers stimuli sensoriels que le divin réussit à se manifester et à s’incorporer au profit de ses dévots. Le sens de la vision se dévoilera l’un des plus importants dans cette interaction avec les divinités, particulièrement à travers le darśan, mais les autres sens s’avéreront eux aussi essentiels dans cette transaction avec le divin, notamment à travers la musique, les mantras, la prasād, ainsi que les diverses formes de toucher direct ou indirect avec la divinité. Somme toute, cette étude démontrera que la rencontre avec le divin nécessite en soi l’utilisation d’un sensorium sacré. Les diverses perceptions sensorielles engagées dans cette interaction parlent à la fois à la nature humaine et divine de l’être, et permettent dès lors à la vraie nature de l’humain d’entrer en contact avec la vraie et suprême réalité du divin (bhagwān/brahman).

description: This project seeks to study the patterns of employment arising from an undergraduate education in health-related sciences. We employed descriptive and multivariate statistical methods to analyze two existing databases retrieved from Statistics Canada. The first source is the National Graduate Survey (NGS), and the second is the Labour Force Survey (LFS). We applied ordinary logistic regression to both the NGS and LFS to determine the statistically significant factors associated with successful employment in the health sector. Our results show that employability is associated with province, educational attainment, occupation, and industry. This study suggests that employed recent graduates employed in health-related industries were mainly employed in public sectors. Individuals who were employed in health-related industries were commonly young individuals. Individuals who graduated from health-related field of study also had one of the highest rates of working in their degree field. Most individuals working in a health science-related industry were part-time workers. A study of this nature can allow for the development of policies and standards to ensure students receive the appropriate training in health science-related university programs for future job prospects. Further research is needed to assess how much impact these factors have on the employability in health science-related industries for Canadian university graduates.

description: In wind farm yield estimation, wake losses and associated uncertainties play a centralrole. This work presents an automated tool for estimating wind farm yields and relateduncertainties by varying different analytical and computationally efficient wake models.Additionally, the wake models are extended by varying empirical parameters, such as thewake expansion parameter. To quantify the uncertainty of the estimated wake losses, thespread of model and parameter variations is utilized. The wake models and their simulationsfor estimating wind farm yields are initialized and executed using the Python-basedsoftware PyWake. The tool is then used to perform simulations to estimate the AnnualEnergy Production (AEP) at the Langenburg onshore test site. To test and validate thetool, the estimated AEP is compared with the data from the Supervisory Control andData Acquisition (SCADA) system of the test site. Since the Langenburg onshore test siteis situated in complex terrain and within a forest, these factors are considered through awind field generated with the PyWAsP software. This introduces the challenge that thesefactors, in addition to wake losses, induce further uncertainty. To evaluate this additionaluncertainty, two simulations are conducted for the test site: one that does not account forterrain and surface roughness, and another that includes these influences through thegenerated wind field with PyWAsP. Both simulation results show a systematic overestimationof AEP for all wind turbines, with one exception. It is observed that consideringterrain and surface roughness slightly improves the AEP estimation for most turbines.This systematic overestimation aligns with expectations, as the presented tool only considerswake losses and does not cover all loss types, such as blockage effects or yawmisalignment. Furthermore, the uncertainty associated with the AEP estimated throughmodel and parameter variation is quantified using the Standard Deviation (STD). To evaluatethe accuracy of the STD as a predictor of actual uncertainty, it is compared with theRoot Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) of the model outputs against the SCADA data. Itwas found that the prediction of uncertainty does not perform equally well for everyturbine. Additionally, the validity of the STD cannot be assured. The results indicate astrong need to test the developed tool on additional wind farms and to expand its capabilitiesto include more loss types and models.

KATI

description: The interdisciplinary field of research involves collaborating and integrating knowledge, methods, and perspectives from multiple disciplines. One example of an interdisciplinary field is human-robot interaction (HRI), which integrates perspectives from robotics, AI, psychology, sociology, human-computer interaction, cognitive science, and other fields. Comprehending the complexity of HRI requires semantic analysis of scientific publications to advance scientific knowledge, and foster collaboration & innovation. Literature mapping tools such as KATI, help researchers extract relevant data from large volumes of scientific publications. KATI offers bibliometric analysis of scientific publications for data-driven foresight. In order to improve the KATI tool’s capabilities, an exploratory study is conducted to investigate the evolution of the interdisciplinary field of HRI between 1999 and 2020. Scholarly literature is used to analyze the evolution of HRI using the methodology of Wang et al. and topic modeling approaches. Topic modeling identifies hidden semantic patterns, enabling researchers to obtain a deeper understanding of their field of research. Two state-of-the-art topic modeling techniques such as LDA and BERTopic are employed to extract subfields of HRI. By identifying semantically related topics in HRI empowers researchers to formulate novel hypotheses regarding future directions. The evolution process examines different sub-fields of HRI, which are essential for advancing innovation and exploring potential applications. A comparative analysis of two topic modeling techniques is conducted enabling researchers to advance the field of topic modeling, inform best practices, and empower decision-makers to effectively leverage topic modeling techniques for knowledge discovery and insight generation.

ACCC rejects the banks colluding to bargain on Apple Pay
Creators: name: Worthington, Steve
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is planning to deny the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), Westpac, National Australia Bank (NAB) and Bendigo and Adelaide Bank (the banks), petition to collectively bargain with and boycott Apple on Apple Pay.
Justifying the decision, ACCC chairman Rod Sims said that the likely benefits of allowing the banks to collectively bargain does not outweigh the potential negative affects. The banks are desperate to get access to Apple phones, not least as ANZ recently claimed a surge in applications for their credit and debit cards after striking a deal with Apple. This shift in consumer behaviour could potentially reduce the customer base of the other banks, simultaneously increasing both ANZ’s customer base and the use of its payments services. But Apple imposes fees and restrictions that the banks currently find prohibitive.
