Notes. Andrena gardineri is a specialist on Packera (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) (Larkin et al. 2008). A series of A. gardineri was collected from Packera aurea (L.) Á. Löve & D. Löve (originally identified as Senecio jacobaea L.), found growing at the edge of a ditch adjacent to a commercial highbush blueberry farm. Subsequently, a single specimen collected in 2008 was identified from KCIC. In 2016, collections were also made from Packera aurea in two additional sites in Van Buren County, and the bee was found almost immediately in each location, suggesting it might be quite common where the host plant is found.

Simulating Polymer Drag Reduction Using a Modified Mixing Length in Zero  Pressure Gradient Boundary Layers
Creators: White, J.J.

Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

It is known that a small concentration of polymer introduced to the boundary layer can produce significant drag reduction for liquid flows. This effect has been studied extensively for internal flow and polymer injection in external flow, though much is still unknown about the underlying mechanism. More recently, select external flow research has focused on drag reduction for ships. The present work is a building block towards a practical methodology for simulating an ablative polymer paint to induce drag reduction on submarine geometries. Polymer drag reduction experiments can be closely reproduced by modifying empirical constants in the simple mixing length turbulence model. Potential avenues for implementation in standard commercially available CFD solvers are explored.

The theology of witness: A critical exposition of George Tyrrell's pastoral theology
Creators: name: Maher, Anthony
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2011

description: Revisiting the Modernist Martyr,‘ George Tyrrell, a century after his death is self-evidently problematic. This work draws upon ten years of personal experience, living and teaching in Stonyhurst, Tyrrell‘s former Jesuit College, and two decades of researching his thought. It is not unreasonable to assert, following the lead of Gabriel Daly, that it is practically impossible to approach modernism without personal bias and ideology. Ironically highlighting the dangers of such an undertaking, Hilaire Belloc cautions, that history should be written not from the Bar, but from the Bench.‘ Moreover, it must show a willingness to submit to what Matthew Arnold called the despotism of fact.‘ In addition, contemporary historians and systematic theologians accentuate the importance of hermeneutical considerations of authors, texts and receivers .... At the turn of the twentieth century Tyrrell articulated a challenge to those who would take the church out of history and place it in some ideal realm. Drawing upon Lonergan, some argue that the church had locked itself into a classicist understanding of culture as a normative ideal that it possessed and others must obtain. Tyrrell played a leading role in instigating the shift from classicism to historical consciousness. ...

The gift impossible: Representations of child removal in Australian children's literature, 1841-1941
Creators: name: Scott, Pamela
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2012

description: Many in the twenty-first century have become aware of, and incensed at, the childremoval policies of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Yet child removal in Australia has been practised from the time of colonisation, using policies that were brought to Australia from England and modified for colonial society. What is less understood is that child removal has become normalised due, in no small way, to its perpetuation in the social consciousness through the pages of children’s books. Australian authors have inducted their young readership into an adult ideology informed by the beliefs and practices of their own childhood, including their childhood reading. This thesis explores the use of the child-removal theme in one hundred years of Australian children’s literature from its inception in 1841 and the role of children’s literature in promoting the acceptance, or non-questioning, of removal. This will be done by first reviewing Australia’s child-removal practices and how they were influenced by English child-rescue organisations, then analysing representations of ideal parenting models implicit in the literature and the way in which failure to reach such ideals led to, and justified, child removal. Finally, an analysis of literary instances of removal will be undertaken. Child removal in the literature knew no racial barriers and was presented as being inherent in Australian society, be it white or Indigenous. It will be argued that the way in which children’s literature dealt with Indigenous issues created an environment in which Indigenous parenting was devalued, making child removal a logical conclusion. A broad range of Australian children’s literature will be examined, from that produced by Englishborn colonists, to the quickly developing oeuvre produced by (white) Australian-born writers.

description: Mechanical unloading by microgravity (or weightlessness) conditions triggers profound adaptation processes at the cellular and organ levels. Among other mechanisms, mechanosensitive ion channels are thought to play a key role in allowing cells to transduce mechanical forces. Previous experiments performed under microgravity have shown that gravity affects the gating properties of ion channels. Here, a method is described to record a calcium-dependent current in native Xenopus laevis oocytes under microgravity conditions during a parabolic flight. A 3-voltage-step protocol was applied to provoke a calcium-dependent current. This current increased with extracellular calcium concentration and could be reduced by applying extracellular gadolinium. The custom-made “OoClamp” hardware was validated by comparing the results of the 3-voltage-step protocol to results obtained with a well-established two-electrode voltage clamp (TEVC). In the context of the 2nd Swiss Parabolic Flight Campaign, we tested the OoClamp and the method. The setup and experiment protocol worked well in parabolic flight. A tendency that the calcium-dependent current was smaller under microgravity than under 1 g condition could be observed. However, a conclusive statement was not possible due to the small size of the data base that could be gathered

Faith-based charity and professional ambition in the life of Charles Gordon O'Neill (1828-1900)
Creators: name: Utick, Stephen
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2012

description: "This translocational biography provides an interpretation of the life of Catholic philanthropist, colonial parliamentarian and civil engineer Charles Gordon O’Neill (1828-1900). Focusing on the two most significant elements in his life, commitment to faith-based charity and professional ambition in pursuit of an empire career in civil engineering, it also examines the balance between O’Neill’s Irish Catholic and British identities. Covering O’Neill’s life in Victorian Scotland (1828-1863), colonial New Zealand (1864-1880) and pre-Federation New South Wales (1881-1900), the biography traces the sequence and patterns of these two respective elements through a broadly chronological theme-based historiography. This biography analyses O’Neill’s greatest professional achievements, particularly in New Zealand in such endeavours as town planning, and railways and tramways development. It also reveals his prescient environmental concerns, through his promotion of forest conservation and the advocacy of global forest-climate connection in the New Zealand Parliament between 1868 and 1874. Of more enduring memory was O’Neill’s commitment to faith-based charity through his pioneering of the St Vincent de Paul Society in all three societies. The defining moment of his life was to embrace a faith-based mission to the Australian colonies beginning in 1880, leading to the establishment of the St Vincent de Paul Society in New South Wales. The growth of the Society’s outdoor relief for the poor in Sydney owed much to the expertise O’Neill gained previously in Glasgow and Wellington. The thesis explains the Catholic religious influences that transformed O’Neill into a pioneer of non-intrusive charity during the 1880s. A key theme, examining three cycles of the vicissitudes of O’Neill’s life, reveals the pattern of fusion and fragmentation of the two elements of commitment to faith-based charity and professional ambition. The thesis concludes with a brief thanatography and analysis of subsequent hagiographic interpretations of O’Neill’s life that had ended with a final submission in faith."
Experiences of Tongan immigrant students in Australian Catholic schools and influences on their engagement in learning

description: "Drawing on my observation and understanding over a fifteen year period of the constant difficulties experienced by young Tongan immigrants in engaging with their learning in local Australian Catholic schools, this study responds to their needs. The study explored and recorded the stories of the experiences of four Year 9 Tongan immigrant students in two Australian secondary schools in the Archdiocese of Sydney, and identified the issues influencing their engagement in learning. The study utilised a Biographic Narrative Interpretive Methodology (BNIM) to record, interpret and analyse the data of the participating students. As a technique in narrative interviewing, with a potential to illuminate their voices, the methodology was utilised to investigate their perspectives, while sitting on a Tongan mat setting. Three interviews were conducted with each participant over a period of time. The study also explored the perspective of the Tongan immigrant parents, and administrators and teachers of the Catholic schools context, using talatalaifale (Tongan way of conversation within the Tongan family house), and focus group interviews. A field log was also kept by the researcher. These methods were used to investigate the views of the participants to amplify the researcher’s interpretation, and to compare claims, arguments and recommendations regarding the experiences of the Tongan immigrant students on their engagement in learning. The data indicated many challenges and difficulties experienced by the students. Significantly, the findings indicated that Tongan language and culture have significant impact on the efforts of the Tongan immigrant students to engage in their learning in an Australian school context. The importance of culturally appropriate relationships between schools, families and Tongan communities was identified. Additionally, the data revealed the importance of the relatedness of the culture in the teaching strategies, used with these students, as well as issues related to leadership of the Tongan community and their Catholic school age children. The study identified a number of issues that influenced the Tongan immigrant students’ engagement in learning in Australian Catholic secondary schools, and concluded with a set of recommendations and directions needed to improve their engagement. The findings and recommendations of the study could also have relevance to other immigrant students of South Pacific and non European descent and Indigenous Australians. Thus, this exploratory study contributes to the growing literature articulating indigenous and non-western frameworks for students’ engagement in learning of Tongan and other indigenous, non-western voices."
Identification of the Driving Cycle for University Fleet Vehicles

Year: 2022

A driving cycle represents the operating conditions of a vehicle as a function of vehicle speed and time. It is used for assessment of vehicle energy consumption, tailpipe emissions, and driving behavior. A driving cycle depends on a vehicle application, geographical regions, and driving zones (e.g, urban vs. highway). This paper collects driving data from the University of Alberta fleet vehicles and develops a driving cycle for fleet vehicles. The driving cycle is generated based on the Microtrip combination method. Extraction of the driving cycle is based on using the Principal Component Analysis method, and developing an algorithm for calculating the weights of different parameters using statistical analysis to avoid the excessive weighting caused by the similarity of the physical meaning of the parameters. The process of combining Microtrips into driving cycles is simplified through database simplification and is accelerated by designing an algorithm for selecting Microtrips. The results are presented for five selected university vehicles with same application. The identified driving cycle consists of 24.5% Acceleration, 23.9% Deceleration, 3.9% Cruising, 47.7% Idling. The resulting driving cycle serves as a utility for the development of an intelligent fleet management system.

description: Drivers continuously manipulate the vehicle’s steering and pedals (throttle, brake) while driving. Inadequate or excessive manipulation leads to crashes, possibly leading to injuries. An Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) can warn drivers of inadequate or excessive manipulation to avert risky situations. Such systems evolve continuously and need more road infrastructure inputs for better driving assistance. Rural highways showcased more fatalities than urban counterparts, with more road departure crashes along horizontal curves than straight sections. Hence, the present study explores drivers’ braking and steering behavior along the horizontal curves of two-lane rural highways and proposes a suitable runoff risk model. Sixty-eight drivers participated in a driving simulator study, where they drove along fifty-two horizontal curves in free-flow conditions. Typical five brake and three steering measures found in past studies were evaluated. Based on data distribution of brake and steering measures, Tobit and mixed-effects multiple linear regression models were developed to understand the association of these measures with the approach speed and geometric parameters of horizontal curves. Further, a generalized linear mixed runoff (road departure) risk model with a logit link function was developed to identify the effective measures among all brake and steering variables. The brake and steering measures were significantly associated with the approach speed and the geometric parameters such as curve radius, gradient, and turn type (left or right). Further, the runoff risk analysis revealed a significant effect of braking distance (BD) and standard deviation of steering wheel position (SDSWP). The interaction between BD and SDSWP was significant, suggesting that the runoff risk increased with SDSWP; however, it decreased with BD. The runoff risk intensified with higher steering instability along horizontal curves, while it can be reduced with effective brake pedal usage. The study suggests better usage of brakes than steering before entering the curve. It potentially reduces the vehicle speed, thus ensuring more time to perceive the curve and help reduce the driver’s steering instability. The models developed in this study can be used in the ADAS systems upon validation with the field observations.
A number sense approach to written calculation: Exploring the effects in the middle years of schooling
Creators: name: Owens, Rick
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2012

description: "The purpose of this research was to investigate some of the effects on teachers and students of positioning written calculation within a commitment to building students’ number sense. The focus on number sense took shape initially through explicit teaching of a strategies approach to mental computation, followed by an exploration of approaches to written calculation which made use of effective mental computation strategies. The impetus for this research came from the following observations of many classrooms and a review of the available literature: the dominant aspect of calculation in many schools in the primary and middle years of schooling (here deemed as up to Year 8 in schools in the Australian Capital Territory) is the teaching and using of formal written algorithms for many students this emphasis works against overall facility with calculation and the development of number sense. This study investigated the following research question: What are some of the effects on teachers and students within a junior high school setting, of aligning written calculation with a strategies approach to teaching and using mental computation?"

description: Punica granatum Legrelliae is a valuable medicinal plant that is widely planted in Morocco. The equilibrium moisture content was investigated. Peleg model was found the most suitable to describe the sorption phenomenon. The drying kinetic of Punica granatum Legrelliae’s flowers was investigated by using a convection solar dryer. Midilli-Kucuk model described well the drying curves’ trend. The effective moisture diffusivity values were obtained. The Arrhenius relation, with an activation energy value of 92.91 kJ.mol-1 expressed the temperature effect on the diffusion coefficient. Finally, the effect of drying these flowers at different temperatures on their quality was investigated. To assess the quality of the product after solar drying; the color, polyphenols content, antioxidant activity, and polyphenoloxydase and peroxydase activities were considered. 40 °C was the best drying temperature for the preservation of color and bioactive molecules with antioxidant property.

description: While microscale pedestrian environment features such as sidewalks and crosswalks can affect pedestrian safety, it is challenging to assess microscale environment associated risk across locations or at scale. Addressing these challenges requires an efficient auditing protocol that can be used to assess frequencies of microscale environment features. For this reason, we developed an eight-item pedestrian environment virtual audit protocol and conducted a descriptive epidemiologic study of pedestrian injury in Washington State, USA. We used data from police reports at pedestrian-automotive collision sites where the pedestrian was seriously injured or died. At each collision site, high school students participating in an online summer internship program virtually audited Google Street View imagery to assess the presence of microscale pedestrian environment features such as crosswalks and streetlighting. We assessed inter-rater reliability using Cohen’s kappa and explored prevalence of eight microscale environment features in relation to injury severity and municipal boundaries. There were 2248 motor vehicle crashes eliciting police response and resulting in death or serious injury of a pedestrian in Washington State between January 1, 2015 and May 8, 2020. Of the crashes resulting in serious injury or death, 498 (22%) resulted in fatalities and 1840 (82%) occurred within municipal boundaries. Cohen’s kappa scores for the eight pedestrian features that were audited ranged from 0.52 to 0.86. Audit results confirmed that features such as sidewalks and crosswalks were more common at collision sites within city limits. High school student volunteers with minimal training can reliably audit microscale pedestrian environments using limited resources.

description: Florida ranks among the states with the highest rates of work-zone crashes involving large trucks. With significant emphasis in Florida’s strategic highway safety plan, understanding work-zone crashes involving large trucks and resulting injury severities is critically important. This study investigated the contributing factors influencing the driver injury severity of single-large-truck crashes in work zones, benchmarked against non-work zones in Florida. Using work-zone and non-work-zone crash data from 2011 to 2019 (inclusive), driver-injury severities in single-large trucks crashes were studied using random parameters logit models that allow for possible heterogeneity in the means and variances of parameter estimates. The available data included a wide variety of factors known to influence driver injury severity, including spatial and temporal; vehicle and traffic; roadway, harmful events, and driver characteristics. The model estimates produced fundamental shift in unobserved heterogeneity for work-zone and non-work-zone crashes involving single large trucks. More importantly, the likelihood of large truck drivers’ injury severity is about fourteen-times higher on rural and six-times higher on urban interstate highways and 1.3 times lower with 10 miles per hour below the posted speed limit for large trucks inside work zones relative to non-work zones. The model results also indicate that the likelihood of severe driver injury is higher for heavy truck (more than 26000 pounds), a lane-shift work-zone configuration, and careless driving in work-zone crashes involving single large trucks. The model findings add valuable insights to have profound effects in the safety performance of large trucks and in-vehicle safety technologies, such as, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, for careful driving along the work-zone segments with lower speed, leading to Automated Driving Systems. These measures include various policy-related safety countermeasures including revisiting traffic control plan for lane-shift on highways specifically for large trucks and developing training modules for Florida registered truck drivers.

description: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is a condition with significant clinical and exploratory value in traditional Chinese medicine. Classified as "Daixia disease" in TCM, CIN presents challenges due to its high incidence, recurrence rates, and potential progression to cervical cancer. Modern medicine categorizes CIN into different grades, offering specific treatments based on its severity. However, the variable nature of the disease often leads to symptom-focused treatments without addressing the root cause, resulting in frequent relapses. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine offers a holistic approach, utilizing TCM syndrome differentiation, oral TCM administration, and external TCM treatments tailored to the disease's evolving stages. By enhancing therapeutic efficacy and improving patients' quality of life, this comprehensive approach provides valuable insights into the treatment of CIN.

description: Crashes between cars and cyclists at urban intersections are common, and their consequences are often severe. Typical causes for this type of crashes included the excessive speed of the cyclist as well as car drivers failing to see the cyclist. Measures that decrease the cyclists’ speed may lead to safer car-cyclist interactions. This study aimed to investigate the extent to which cyclists may approach intersections at a lower speed when nudged to do so. Visual flat-stripe nudges were placed on bicycle lanes in the proximity of uncontrolled intersections (with a history of car-cyclist crashes) in two locations in Gothenburg, Sweden. This specific nudge was the one obtaining the best results from a previous study that tested different nudges in controlled experiments. Video data from the intersections were recorded with a site-based video recording system both before (baseline), and after (treatment), the nudge was installed. The video data was processed to extract trajectory and speed for cyclists. The baseline and treatment periods were equivalent in terms of day of the week, light, and weather conditions. Furthermore, two treatment periods were recorded to capture the effect of the nudge over time in one of the locations. Leisure cyclists showed lower speeds in treatment than in baseline for both locations. Commuters were less affected by the nudge than leisure cyclists. This study shows that visual nudges to decrease cyclist speed at intersections are hard to evaluate in the wild because of the many confounders. We also found that the effect of visual nudges may be smaller than the effect of environmental factors such as wind and demographics, making their evaluation even harder. The observed effect of speed might not be very high, but the advantage both in terms of cyclist acceptance and monetary cost makes an investment in the measure very low risk. This study informs policymakers and road authorities that want to promote countermeasures to intersection crashes and improve the safety of cyclists at urban intersections.

description: Projectile legform tests are used to evaluate pedestrian lower extremity injury risk, including risk of injury to the cruciate and collateral ligaments. However, it has been suggested that cruciate ligament injuries rarely occur without collateral ligament injuries, making a cruciate ligament injury requirement unnecessary in pedestrian test procedures. Therefore, the current study examines cruciate ligament injuries among U.S. pedestrians with and without other injuries that are evaluated in pedestrian test procedures. Injury data for pedestrians treated in U.S. trauma centers from 2007 to 2017 were drawn from the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) Research Data Set (RDS) and from its successor, the Trauma Quality Program (TQP) Participant User Files (PUF). Crash and demographic details for individual cases with documented knee ligament injuries were obtained from the Pedestrian Crash Data Study (PCDS). Among pedestrians aged 16 and older with knee ligament injuries, 38% had only collateral injuries, 31% had only cruciate injuries and 31% were documented with injuries to both. Younger pedestrians also sustained cruciate injuries without collateral injuries, with 36% of the 0–15 year-old pedestrians diagnosed with knee ligament injuries having isolated cruciate injuries. Given that injuries to the left and right knee could not be distinguished in NTDB cases, these estimates of isolated ligament injuries are likely conservative, so that at least 31% of pedestrians aged 16 and older and at least 36% of younger pedestrians sustained cruciate ligament injuries without collateral ligament injuries in the same knee. A PCDS case study illustrated how cruciate injury can occur without collateral injury in a lateral bumper impact below the knee. Cruciate ligament injuries can occur in pedestrian crashes, with or without other injuries that are evaluated in pedestrian test procedures. Isolated cruciate injuries may be more likely in impacts above or below the knee and in impacts with a component of anterior-posterior loading. The frequency of cruciate injury in the absence of collateral injury in lateral and non-lateral impact supports inclusion of injury measures correlating to cruciate injury risk in pedestrian legform test procedures.

description: Ergonomic design of child restraint systems (CRS) may facilitate optimal travel behavior and crash protection of child passengers during motor vehicle trips. However there have been few studies examining the relationship between CRS design and child passenger travel behavior. The aim of this study was to examine whether associations between CRS design features and child passenger behavior exist during real-world, everyday vehicle trips. Video from a naturalistic driving study (NDS) was analyzed in this study. Families drove an instrumented study vehicle for approximately two weeks with at least one child aged between one and eight years traveling in their own forward-facing (FF) CRS or belt positioning booster (BPB). Video for one child passenger was randomly selected from each trip for analysis. Video was coded for five-second epochs at nine time points (5%, 17%, 25%, 30%, 50%, 53%, 75%, 89% and 95% of trip length). Two types of child passenger travel behaviors were identified by manual review of the video and audio recordings: (i) optimal/suboptimal head position and (ii) correct/incorrect use of the internal harness/shoulder belt. Video screenshots were used to characterize CRS design features. Random effects logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between specific CRS design features and the travel behaviors of interest, whilst accounting for clustering of data by child and trip. Suboptimal head position was associated with the absence of a height adjustable headrest and a narrow headrest wing width in FFCRS. Incorrect harness use in a FFCRS was associated with the absence of an adjustable headrest, in addition to headrest features such as wing width and depth. In BPBs, a reduction in suboptimal head position was associated with the absence of a sash belt guide, however no restraint design features were associated with incorrect shoulder belt use. Some CRS design features may influence undesirable child passenger travel behavior. These early findings support enhanced and user-centric CRS design as a likely important mechanism to improve child passenger safety.
