Seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete frames with diagonal prestressing or FRP strips
Creators: name: Shalouf, Fathalla
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: Performance of reinforced concrete structures during previous earthquakes has indicated that the majority of buildings designed prior to the enactment of modern seismic codes and those designed more recently in regions where code enforcement is difficult to achieve, have suffered seismic damage associated with non-ductile frame construction. Because it is not economically feasible to replace seismically deficient building infrastructure with new and improved buildings, seismic retrofit strategy remains to be the most viable approach to seismic risk mitigation. Currently, there are retrofit techniques available to stiffen and strengthen non-ductile concrete frames with unreinforced masonry infill panels, while other techniques are used to improve deformability of elements. The available retrofit techniques may be viewed in three categories; (i) those that involve the addition of structural elements, such as steel bracing systems or concrete shear walls to control deformations, (ii) those that involve surface treatment of masonry walls by adding concrete overlays with steel mesh, bonding steel plates on both sides and using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials, and (iii) those that involve reinforcing masonry walls internally. The first category of retrofit methods, while stiffens and strengthens the frames, often results in a change of dynamic properties of structures by increasing mass and reducing period of the structure. The main objective of the proposed research is to develop new and improved seismic retrofit techniques for non-ductile reinforced concrete frame structures with and without masonry infill walls. The techniques to be investigated involve the application of surface bonded and FRP anchored diagonal FRP sheets and externally applied diagonal prestressing. The experimental and the analytical results indicate that the two techniques used in the research were able to control the structure deflection. The initial prestressing in the cables has effect on the structure drift demand. If it is high, the strands yield and may even rupture during loading and result in high drift demand, as opposed to non-prestressed strands that may continue remaining elastic. However, the situation reverses during small drift demands, where, increased prestressing results in reduced drift demands as long as the strands remain elastic. This implies that there exists an optimum level of prestressing. Also the results indicate that CFRP strips can be used to effectively control lateral drift during strong earthquakes, protecting non-ductile frame buildings.
Prediction of periphyton in rivers

description: Periphyton communities are often the dominant primary producers and an important energy source to higher trophic levels in rivers and streams. Empirical models of periphyton biomass (chlorophyll a) that have high predictive power are generally lacking. The goal of this research was to assess and improve the predictability of periphyton in rivers. A historical river monitoring data set from Alberta showed that, in general, land use in the drainage basin was a good surrogate for instream nutrient concentrations in regression models of periphyton biomass. Land use explained up to 34% of the variability in chlorophyll a whereas models based on instream nutrients explained up to 24% of the variability in chlorophyll a . A field study showed that bacterial abundance in periphyton explained an additional 26 to 29% of residual variance of chlorophyll a, after taking nutrients into account. The relationships between algal and bacterial abundance and production estimates were positive, suggesting bacteria and algae coexist in a mutually dependent association. The sampling design for bacteria in the field study was based on the relationships between sample means and variances of published bacterial abundance and production data. The number of replicates needed to sample periphytic bacterial abundance and production was determined from these relationships. A meta-analysis of published periphyton regression models was used to evaluate model predictive power. Once corrected for the number of observations, terms, and sampling replicates in the models, predictive power of periphyton models has not improved over the last 30 years. Geographic extent of the study area and the type of predictor variables used also had almost no effect on predictive power. The theoretical limit of model precision has approximately been reached for models predicting temporally averaged periphyton biomass. In contrast, residual variances of models predicting instantaneous mean chlorophyll a were, on average, 4.5 times higher than theoretical pure error. Precision of temporal mean models will only be improved by obtaining more precise estimates of mean chlorophyll a. Models that predict instantaneous chlorophyll a may be made more precise by including variables that better reflect the recent site history.

Romanian applicative constructions
Creators: name: Diaconescu, Constanta Rodica
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Language, Linguistics.

description: The aim of this work is the investigation of the syntactic and semantic properties of Romanian clitic doubled la/real dative arguments. The proposal of this thesis is that clitic doubled la/real dative arguments are applicative arguments. The premise of assuming the existence of applicative constructions in Romanian is the alternation of clitic doubled/non clitic doubled dative arguments. Traditional grammar assumes that Romanian dative arguments are optionally clitic doubled. This thesis argues that this optionality is only apparent, and that the dative clitic is the morphological spell-out of an applicative head which licenses the dative argument as its specifier and relates it to the structure it takes as a complement. Applicative arguments are morphologically marked, can appear with both transitive and intransitive verbs, and have a wide range of meanings. The series of meanings of Romanian applicative (i.e., clitic doubled dative) arguments are foreseen by the series of the complements an applicative head may take or by the series of applicatives of which a phrase can be a complement. This proposal provides the set of positions into which an applicative head can merge and license a dative argument, as well as the set of interpretations the argument can obtain in each position. The set of positions may be verified cross-linguistically, but languages can differ with respect to the positions into which an applicative head is allowed to merge. These assumptions generalize to applied arguments in languages in which they are not marked by dative case (e.g., Greek, English and Bantu languages). To the best of the thesis author's knowledge, this is the first attempt both to propose the existence of applicative constructions in Romanian and to investigate la datives.

description: Using the Tully-Fisher relation, we derive peculiar velocities for the 2MASS Tully-Fisher survey and describe the velocity field of the nearby Universe.We use adaptive kernel smoothing to map the velocity field, and compare it to reconstructions based on the redshift space galaxy distributions of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS) and the IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift Survey (PSCz). With a standard Χ2 minimization fit to the models, we find that the PSCz model provides a better fit to the 2MTF velocity field data than does the 2MRS model, and provides a value of β in greater agreement with literature values. However, when we subtract away the monopole deviation in the velocity zero-point between data and model, the 2MRS model also produces a value of β in agreement with literature values.We also calculate the 'residual bulk flow': the component of the bulk flow not accounted for by the models. This is ~250 km s-1 when performing the standard fit, but drops to ~150 km s-1 for both models when the aforementioned monopole offset between data and models is removed. This smaller number is more in line with theoretical expectations, and suggests that the models largely account for the major structures in the nearby Universe responsible for the bulk velocity.
The roles of cytosolic and membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase in acid-base regulation in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

description: Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is an important enzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydration/dehydration reactions of CO2. In mammals, there are at least 15 isoforms of CA with diverse tissue distributions, widely varying kinetic properties and numerous physiological functions. The research reported in this thesis focused on the molecular characterization and physiological roles of two rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) CA isoforms, the membrane-associated CAIV and a cytosolic form (tCAc). More specifically, I evaluated the roles of CAIV and tCAc in renal acidification and bicarbonate reabsorption at rest and during respiratory acidosis. In addition, the localization of these proteins within the kidney and gill was investigated, and the role of tCAc in branchial acid-base regulation was assessed. Using an array of techniques that included Northern analysis, Western analysis, real time RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, I demonstrated that trout CAIV is specifically localized to renal tubule cells, whereas tCAc is widely distributed across different tissues such as gill, kidney and brain.

description: During the last years, the genomes of more and more species have been sequenced, providing data for phylogenetic reconstruction based on genome rearrangement measures. A main task in all phylogenetic reconstruction algorithms is to solve the median of three problem. Although this problem is NP-hard even for the simplest distance measures, there are exact algorithms for the breakpoint median and the reversal median that are fast enough for practical use. In this paper, we extend this approach to the transposition median as well as to the weighted reversal and transposition median. Although there is no exact polynomial algorithm known even for the pairwise distances, we will show that it is in most cases possible to solve these problems exactly within reasonable time by using a branch and bound algorithm.

Autonomic Management of User-Centric Cloud Services for Smart Cities
Creators: name: Samant, Sunil Singh
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Cloud services have become a de facto tool to address the computing need in processing large scale data generated in smart city environment where the data is processed in a data processing pipeline (DPP) to extract real-time insights. Such environment typically generates data with fluctuating rates thus requires an adaptive resource management to achieve both cost and QoS optimization goals. We leverage the cloud resource and contract heterogeneity to minimize the cost of resource allocation and proposed a novel end-to-end autonomic resource management framework built around multiple models and mechanisms for the adaptive scaling of cloud resources for DPP services ensuring the cost optimal end-to-end QoS fulfillment under fluctuating workload.

description: Background: Mexican law permits syringe purchase and possession without prescription. Nonetheless, people who inject drugs (PWID) frequently report arrest for syringe possession. Extrajudicial arrests not only violate human rights, but also significantly increase the risk of blood-borne infection transmission and other health harms among PWID and police personnel. To better understand how police practices contribute to the PWID risk environment, prior research has primarily examined drug user perspectives and experiences. This study focuses on municipal police officers (MPOs) in Tijuana, Mexico to identify factors associated with self-reported arrests for syringe possession. Methods: Participants were active police officers aged ≥18 years, who completed a self-administered questionnaire on knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to occupational safety, drug laws, and harm reduction strategies. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify correlates of recent syringe possession arrest. Results: Among 1044 MPOs, nearly half (47.9%) reported always/sometimes making arrests for syringe possession (previous 6mo). Factors independently associated with more frequent arrest included being male (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 1.62; 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI] =1.04–2.52; working in a district along Tijuana River Canal (where PWID congregate) (AOR = 2.85; 95%CI = 2.16–3.77); having recently experienced a physical altercation with PWID (AOR = 2.83; 95% CI = 2.15–3.74); and having recently referred PWID to social and health services (AOR = 1.97; 95% CI = 1.48–2.61). Conversely, odds were significantly lower among officers reporting knowing that syringe possession is legal (AOR = 0.61; 95% CI = 0.46–0.82). Conclusions: Police and related criminal justice stakeholders (e.g., municipal judges, prosecutors) play a key role in shaping PWID risk environment. Findings highlight the urgent need for structural interventions to reduce extra-judicial syringe possession arrests. Police training, increasing gender and other forms of diversity, and policy reforms at various governmental and institutional levels are necessary to reduce police occupational risks, improve knowledge of drug laws, and facilitate harm reduction strategies that promote human rights and community health.

description: Abstract Photosynthetic systems utilize adaptability to respond efficiently to fluctuations in their light environment. As a result, large photosynthetic yields can be achieved in conditions of low light intensity, while photoprotection mechanisms are activated in conditions of elevated light intensity. In sharp contrast with these observations, current theoretical models predict bacterial cell death for physiologically high light intensities. To resolve this discrepancy, we consider a unified framework to describe three stages of photosynthesis in natural conditions, namely light absorption, exciton transfer and charge separation dynamics, to investigate the relationship between the statistical features of thermal light and the Quinol production in bacterial photosynthesis. This approach allows us to identify a mechanism of photoprotection that relies on charge recombination facilitated by the photon bunching statistics characteristic of thermal sunlight. Our results suggest that the flexible design underpinning natural photosynthesis may therefore rely on exploiting the temporal correlations of thermal light, manifested in photo-bunching patterns, which are preserved for excitations reaching the reaction center.

description: This research was conducted to conceptualise and validate a construct called firm-level resource integration effectiveness (FL-RIE). Through the validation procedure, this research proposed a 30-item scale capable of measuring FL-RIE. FL-RIE is an attribute which is developed by organisations over time and is defined as the resource deployment proficiency of a firm at a given time. Hence, any organisation can use the scale to measure their resource deployment proficiency at a given time. Furthermore, organisations can get an understanding regarding the areas which they are doing well and not doing well when deploying resources in daily operations and projects.

An examination of the ecological correlates and evolution of polygyny in marsh wrens in Delta, British Columbia.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Biology, Ecology.

description: In this study, I examined the occurrence of polygyny in marsh wrens (Cistothorus palustris) in Delta, B.C. Using four field seasons of data, I found in this population that males were moderately (19%) to highly (66%) polygynous, that in three years of the study (1979, 1992, 1993) polygynous males fledged more young than did monogamous males, and that the breeding sex ratio was female biased in three out of the four years of the study (1979, 1982, 1993). In order to examine if the observed male reproductive success was an accurate measure of male fecundity, I used DNA fingerprinting to assess paternity and therefore male realized reproductive success for the 1992 and 1993 breeding seasons. In order to ascertain the importance of predation of breeding nests on female choice of a breeding situation and male and female reproductive success, I compared predation rates on polygynous and monogamous nests. In order to test all of the possible reasons for polygyny occurring simultaneously I used a multi-modeled approach. I found that the skewed sex ratio model explained the occurrence of polygyny in 1979, 1982, and 1993. Additionally in 1979, 1982, and 1992, the polygyny threshold model also explained polygyny in the Delta population. In 1993, I found that the random settlement model was also supported by the results of this study. Overall in this population of marsh wrens the largest factors affecting the occurrence of polygyny was the skewed sex ratio of the breeding population in favor of females. Secondly, determination of which males became polygynous was most likely affected by female choice of a breeding situation, with females apparently preferring males whose territories were further from the upland edge of the marsh.
The development of stereocontrolled methods to obtain a diverse set of tetrahydroquinoline-based, natural product-inspired compounds

description: Over the years, it has been shown that natural products which are capable of acting as modulators (i.e., activators or inhibitors) of protein-protein interactions are highly complex and possess three-dimensional architectures with several chiral centers and a diverse range of protein-binding elements. These features appear to be required when it comes to dissecting protein functions with the help of small molecules. Therefore, it is not surprising that an interest in developing natural product-like small molecules, which could aid in understanding protein-protein interactions-based cellular signaling pathways, is growing. The success of the chemical genomics program that is aimed toward understanding complex protein networking and its roles in cellular signaling pathways depends on the availability of a diverse range of such chemical probes (Chapter 1). Tetrahydroquinoline-derived natural products have long been utilized as modulators of protein functions and belong to an important family of bioactive compounds. We had developed a practical enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydroquinolione-based functionalized scaffold (Chapter 2). The bicyclic scaffold is highly versatile and contains four orthogonally protected functional groups that could further be utilized in obtaining polycyclic compounds. In one case, we successfully developed a solution phase synthesis of the tricyclic derivative having a bridged 10 membered ring (Chapter 3). In the other case, tetrahydroquinoline-based polycyclics containing alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-lactam and delta-lactone were synthesized (Chapter 4). The stereoselective ring closing metathesis was the key reaction in those syntheses. After the successful development of the methods in solution, some of the intramolecular and intermolecular stereoselective-based reactions had been tried on solid phase. Developing stereoselective reactions-based methods on solid phase is crucial for the rapid synthesis of analogs. Besides NMR, the conformation of the bridged 10 and 5-membered ring derivatives were assigned by X-ray studies (Chapter 3 and 4). In another study, a known polycyclic system containing tetrahydroquinoline was prepared using a tandem Povarov multi I component/cyclocondensation reaction. With our novel methodology, this complex system was constructed not only in one-pot, but also with high yield and complete stereo- and regio-selectivity (Chapter 5). Finally, one of the several possible applications for our synthesized compounds was investigated. The aim was seeking for the small molecules capable of modulation of the Bcl-2 family proteins (Chapter 6). The observed preliminary results were found to be promising as the starting point on the general goal of 'Finding Small-Molecule Perturbators of Protein-Protein Interactions as the Possible Drug Targets in Cancer Therapy'.

description: Zusammenfassung. Das Forschungsprojekt „Aufarbeitung der Ehrungen der DGKJP“ hat alle von der Fachgesellschaft zwischen 1950 (Wiedergründung nach Kriegsende) und 1990 (deutsche Wiedervereinigung) geehrten Personen auf die Angemessenheit der Ehrung überprüft. Insbesondere wurde untersucht, ob die Geehrten im Nationalsozialismus gegen die ärztliche Berufsethik verstoßen hatten, wie z. B. Erstellung von T4-Gutachten, die in ihrem Ergebnis zum Tod der Patient*innen führten, Arbeit in „Kinderfachabteilungen“, in denen Kinder gezielt durch Gabe von Medikamenten getötet wurden und jede Form von nichttherapeutischen Menschenversuchen. 1957 wurde erstmalig die Heinrich-Hoffmann-Medaille verliehen und ab 1963 die Ehrenmitgliedschaft. Von 1957 bis 1990 wurden 19 Ehrenmitgliedschaften und neun Heinrich-Hoffmann-Medaillen verliehen, somit an 27 Persönlichkeiten (eine erhielt beide Auszeichnungen). Bei drei geehrten Persönlichkeiten wurden Verstöße gegen die ärztliche Berufsethik identifiziert. Nach langen internen Diskussionen hatte sich die DGKJP bereits 2002 und 2007 von diesen dreien distanziert: Elisabeth Hecker (1895–1986), Hans-Alois Schmitz (1899–1973) und Werner Villinger (1887–1961). Die von Villinger propagierte „praktische Unerziehbarkeit“, das „Minderwertigkeitsdenken“, war der gemeinsame gedankliche Hintergrund. Öffentlich wurden diese Distanzierungen bisher kaum wahrgenommen, bis 2021 gab es dazu lediglich kurze Mitteilungen im Mitteilungsblatt. Elf Geehrte waren Mitglied der NSDAP ohne nachweisliche Ethikverstöße. Diskutiert werden drei weitere Geehrte, bei denen Ethikverstöße weder definitiv auszuschließen noch definitiv festzustellen sind.

description: Abstract Controlling the flow rate of precursors is essential for the growth of high quality monolayer single crystals of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) by chemical vapor deposition. Thus, introduction of an excess amount of the precursors affects reproducibility of the growth process and results in the formation of TMD multilayers and other unwanted deposits. Here we present a simple method for controlling the precursor flow rates using the Knudsen-type effusion cells. This method results in a highly reproducible growth of large area and high density TMD monolayers. The size of the grown crystals can be adjusted between 10 and 200 μm. We characterized the grown MoS2 and WS2 monolayers by optical, atomic force and transmission electron microscopies as well as by x-ray photoelectron, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies, and by electrical transport measurements showing their high optical and electronic quality based on the single crystalline nature.

description: Abstract We present a method to describe driven-dissipative multi-mode systems by considering a truncated hierarchy of equations for the correlation functions. We consider two hierarchy truncation schemes with a global cutoff on the correlation order, which is the sum of the exponents of the operators involved in the correlation functions: a ‘hard’ cutoff corresponding to an expansion around the vacuum, which applies to a regime where the number of excitations per site is small; a ‘soft’ cutoff which corresponds to an expansion around coherent states, which can be applied for large excitation numbers per site. This approach is applied to describe the bunching-antibunching crossover in the driven-dissipative Bose–Hubbard model for photonic systems. The results have been successfully benchmarked by comparison with calculations based on the corner-space renormalization method in 1D and 2D systems. The regime of validity and strengths of the present truncation methods are critically discussed.
Exploring everyday information practices: Embodied mutual constitution of people's complex relationships with food
Creators: name: Polkinghorne, Sarah Colleen
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: This study examined people’s everyday food lives. More specifically, the purpose of this research was to explore how people become informed about food. A diverse group of people, living in urban and rural Canada, volunteered as participants. The study finds four main elements evident in how people navigate food information: their ways of learning new things; their ethical concerns; their places within their families and cultures; and, their ways of thinking about their own (and others’) bodies. This study illustrates how meaningful even routine practices can be, and it can inform the development of responsive information, health, and educational services.

description: On May 14, 1948 the State of Israel was proclaimed independent and within minutes was immediately recognised by the United States. This recognition not only opened the door to future U.S. foreign policy initiatives in the Middle East but gave the U.S. a strong presence in the Middle East via Israel. The evolution of the relationship between the U.S. and Israel has progressed from that of limited involvement to an unusual partnership. 1967 marked the turning point in U.S.-Israeli relations, the U.S. began implementing foreign policies more favourable to Israel and began a new course in the relationship providing Israel with considerable amounts in U.S. funds and military support. This thesis examines the development of this unique relationship in foreign policy resulting in the sizeable transfers of U.S. funds and military support. It looks at the foreign policy decision making process of the different administrations since Israel's birth. Focus on the decision making process is primarily directed towards the president and his secretary of state. This thesis looks at how seven determinants weigh on each administration with a variation from president to president and secretaries of states. These determinants are said to have diversely affected the outcome of U.S. foreign policy decisions towards Israel. The seven determinants are: (1) the beliefs, attitudes, and personality of the president, (2) the beliefs, attitude and personality of the secretary of state, (3) the relations between the president and the secretary of state, (4) the role of the American Jewish community, (5) the role of Congress particularly in regards to foreign aid, (6) the role of other domestic groups and pressures in American politics, (7) the international strategic environment, particularly during the cold war era.
A packet radio network design for field, mobile multimedia communications: Network configuration, radio channel access and network management.

description: Current trends in the field of communication systems engineering aim at integrating different communication media into a single, coherent system. In many cases, these communication systems can be implemented because of the availability of a fixed infrastructure capable of supporting the stringent demands of multimedia communications. In some applications, however, a requirement for multimedia communications exists but access to fixed infrastructure is either impractical or unavailable. For these applications, the packet radio network represents an excellent framework for the communication system design. We are interested in designing a packet radio network which can satisfy the requirements of such ad-hoc, mobile multimedia applications. Specifically, the following broad design issues are addressed in this thesis: determining the network connectivity map and maintaining it as it changes over time; efficiently sharing the common radio channel amongst all users; and managing the overall network such that traffic is reliably routed from source to destination.

Thrombin production on herpesviruses.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Microbiology.

description: Herpesviruses have been previously correlated to vascular disease and shown to cause thrombogenic and atherogenic changes to host cells. The work conducted in this thesis showed that even in the absence of cells, purified cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) could initiate thrombin production. Clotting and chromogenic assays showed that purified HSV-1 and HSV-2 provide the procoagulant phospholipid (proPL) necessary for assembly of factors Xa (FXa) and Va (FVa) into prothrombinase, which is responsible for generating thrombin. These findings are consistent with earlier CMV studies. These observations were confirmed by electron microscopy and flow cytometry using FVa and annexin V, respectively, as proPL-specific probes. CMV, HSV-1 and HSV-2 each had the ability to facilitate FXa generation from the inactive precursor factor X (FX), but only when factor VII/VIIa and Ca$\sp{2+}$ were present. Monoclonal antibodies specific for the coagulation initiator, tissue factor (TF), inhibited this FX activation and furthermore enabled identification of TF antigen on each virus type by electron microscopy and flow cytometry. Collectively, these data show that CMV, HSV-1 and HSV-2 can initiate the generation of thrombin by having essential proPL and TF activities on their surface. Unlike the normal cellular source, the viral activity is constitutive and therefore not restricted to sites of vascular injury. Thus cell-independent thrombin production may be the earliest event in vascular pathology mediated by herpesviruses.
