A fundamental study of the effect of gravity on the static and dynamic behavior of robots.
Creators: name: Mahjoub, Mohamed E.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: The gravity induced force on revolute robot links is generally comparable to the dynamic induced forces at high operational speeds. At low speeds this force dominates over the dynamic forces. In the process of study of the static and dynamic behaviour of manipulators through the overall measures such as the force ellipsoid, the dynamic manipulability ellipsoid, and the generalized ellipsoid of inertia the effect of gravity is ignored due to the complexity that the inclusion of this force brings to the analysis. This study presents a method to include the effect of gravity in the static and dynamic analysis of robot arms. Using the concept of fields, the gravity induced forces acting on individual links are replaced by a single force, called here the generalized weight of the arm. The generalized weight is a force that acts at the end effector and its magnitude and direction are functions of the configuration of the manipulator. Since the system is conservative, the generalized weight is considered to be the gradient of a potential field that will be called here the generalized gravitational field (GGF). This field alone can illustrate the overall effect of gravity on the manipulator throughout its work volume. The generalized weight field is then integrated with the force ellipsoid to display the true force that a manipulator can apply to its environment. Based on the generalized weight field and the generalized inertia tensor the generalized gravitational acceleration field is introduced. The dynamic manipulability ellipsoid is then superimposed on this field to demonstrate the true acceleration capability of the end effector. The relation between the generalized weight and the generalized ellipsoid of inertia is investigated. Effect of change of physical parameters of the arm are also discussed. It is shown that for a particular design of manipulators the generalized gravitational field is absolutely flat, and in general the manipulators's physical parameters may be used to tailor the GGF for a particular application.
Better Understanding the Adoption of the Long-term Athlete Development Model: Case Analyses of Cross-country Ski Coaches

description: The Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model is an innovation created in response to the Canadian Sport Policy (Canadian Heritage, 2007). The LTAD is an “athlete centered, coach driven, and administration, sport science, and sponsor supported” (Canadian Sport Centres, 2006, p. 33) athlete-development model. Since little research has been completed focusing on this model (viz., Black & Holt, 2009) this thesis had the purpose to better understand the adoption of the LTAD by cross-country ski (XCS) coaches. Two articles present a case study of three XCS club’s coaches, and a descriptive qualitative analysis of XCS coaches (N=13). Both analyses used Rogers’ (2003) Diffusion of Innovations theoretical framework to structure the narrative-interview guide, coding structure, and thematic analysis. Two key results of the thesis were an understanding of the link between a club’s characteristics and a coach’s perceived attributes of the LTAD, and secondly a proposed classification system for XCS coaches.
title:  «Dove l’Italia sogna»: la patria perduta nella poesia di Pasolini
Creators: name: Venturini, Monica
Publisher: name: RomaTrE-Press
Year: 2017

description: Il contributo è dedicato al Pasolini poeta e alle riflessioni da lui condotte intorno al concetto di “patria” negli anni quaranta e cinquanta (dai testi in friulano di Dov’è la mia patria a quelli che confluiranno ne L’Usignolo della Chiesa Cattolica a Le ceneri di Gramsci, ad altri tratti da La Religione del mio tempo e da Poesia in forma di rosa) e intende mettere a fuoco la funzione di denuncia che ancora in quegli anni detiene la letteratura e la centralità del modello pasoliniano per la poesia e la letteratura del secondo Novecento. Ciò si collega alla contemporanea riflessione sui rapporti tra letteratura e identità nazionale, quale “formazione discorsiva” e dialogo ininterrotto tra passato e futuro, dibattito particolarmente vivace nell’ultimo trentennio che pare non aver riservato lo spazio e gli approfondimenti necessari alla poesia, soprattutto, a quella del secondo Novecento. Con numerose varianti e il titolo  «Questa è l’Italia e / non è questa l’Italia»: l’ansia della patria nella poesia di Pasolini, una versione del presente saggio è stata recentemente pubblicata nel seguente volume: Monica Venturini, L’Unità discontinua. Poesia e identità nazionale nel Novecento (Morlacchi, 2016).

Skin-effect considerations on transient response of a transmission line excited by an electromagnetic pulse.
Creators: name: Mok, Edward S. M.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: The electromagnetic pulse can have a very serious damaging effect to modern digital and analog equipment. Many analytical models to solve the susceptibility problems have been developed, but emphasis was mainly on lossless transmission lines. In this thesis, the transient skin-effect resistance is taken into account to characterize a single transmission line above a lossy ground exposed to a time-varying electromagnetic field. As a reuslt of incorporating the skin-effect phenomena and the equivalent sources due to the external fields into the classical transmission line theory, an integral-differential equation is derived. By means of a mixed time-domain finite differences (TD-FD) scheme, the induced voltage and the current at any point on the line is predicted and discussed.

description: The Protocol on Water and Health to the 1992 Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes aims at protecting human health and well-being through sustainable water management and the prevention, control and reduction of water-related diseases. Prevention and reduction of water-related diseases is a priority area under the Protocol̷s programme of work 2014Ń2016. A review of the available evidence reveals significant underreporting and underestimation of the true extent of water-related diseases in the pan-European region, indicating a need to strengthen national capacities for surveillance of these diseases. Campylobacteriosis, giardiasis, hepatitis A and shigellosis are the most commonly reported gastrointestinal infectious diseases that could be attributed to water. According to limited published data, about 18% of investigated outbreaks in the WHO European Region may be associated with this source. There has been progress in setting specific targets for prevention and reduction of water-related diseases and for strengthening surveillance and early-warning systems in accordance with the core provisions of the Protocol.

Predictors of recidivism among a sample of federally sentenced sexual offenders.
Creators: name: Randall, Sarina A.

Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Sociology, Criminology and Penology.

description: The purpose of this research is to determine the factors predicting recidivism among a sample of 222 federally sentenced sex offenders. Based on social and criminal data, a number of predictor variables were significantly correlated with recidivism. These variables were regressed into models of recidivism which resulted in low levels of predictability. There were, however, three prominent factors found in each model for non-sexual offence recidivism, including age, extent of criminal history and number of geographical locations where previously convicted. The results also indicated a number of trends based on correlational data. In particular, a distinction was found between sexual and non-sexual offence recidivism. General non-sexual offence recidivism was found to be associated with extent of prior criminal history and age, while sexual offence recidivism was found to be associated with extent of sexual offence history and not influenced by age.
The choice fruit of 'The Mango Tree' (Kevin Dobson, 1977)

description: It's not as though there was nothing else going on in Australian cinema in the 1970s, but the combination of period piece, eye-catching locations, literary adaptation and coming-of-age theme surely conjures up a good deal of that crucial decade. Even in that climate, though, Kevin Dobson's 'The Mango Tree' (1977) wasn't very popular. It was securely set during World War One, picturesquely located in Bundaberg and surrounding cane-fields, was derived from Ronald McKie's award-winning 1974 novel and its ostensible concern was the rites of passage undergone by young Jamie Carr.

description: Cette thèse souhaite établir les liens qui unissent l’Internationale situationniste, une avant-garde artistique et révolutionnaire, aux événements de Mai 68. Ayant pour objet les relations qui existent entre la pensée, les actions et les événements, elle vise à contribuer à la question complexe de l’influence des idées sur le politique. Ces rapports dynamiques seront explorés à travers une histoire vivante des idées du groupe ayant pour toile de fond les événements qui ont participé à la mise en place, puis à l’éclatement de la crise. Cette trame sera abordée par l'entremise d'une analyse de scènes marquantes de cette présence situationniste en Mai 68. L’attention sera portée sur le «scandale de Strasbourg», la parution des ouvrages majeurs du groupe, les révoltes étudiantes de Nantes et à Nanterre ainsi que la prise de possession de la Sorbonne par les étudiants et l’appui des situationnistes aux occupations d’usines.

description: Reset control was studied for enhanced performance that can not be obtained by linear controllers. The conventional reset control is simple for implementation by resetting some of its controller states to zero when its input is zero. However, we find that in some cases the performance of conventional reset control is still limited such as only partial reduction of the overshoot. Thus, this paper presents the stability analysis and design of an improved reset control system, where the reset times are prespecified and the controller states are reset to certain non-zero values, which are calculated online in terms of the system states for optimal performance. Experimental results on a PZT microactuator positioning stage show that the improved reset control can completely remove the overshoot and thus achieve shorter settling time than the conventional reset control. Moreover, robustness tests against various step levels, disturbance and sensor noise are presented.

description: На основе анализа ведомостей учащихся реконструируется преподавание грамматики церковнославянского, греческого и латинского языков в Новгородских архиерейских школах в 20-е гг. XVIII столетия. Авторы приходят к выводу, что в «славенской», греческой и латинской школах, созданных при архиерейском доме в Новгороде, а также в партикулярных школах, открытых на территории Новгородской епархии, действовала многоуровневая система обучения: от начального изучения Часослова, Псалтыри, чтения, письма и букваря до грамматики, риторики и поэтики. Грамматику церковнославянского языка изучали до грамматики греческого или латинского, но иерархии между этими последними не было: можно было как поле греческого приступить к изучению латинского, так и наоборот. Время освоения грамматики у разных учеников было различным и зависело как от их способностей и прилежания, так и от желания учителя изложить материал за более короткое время. В среднем, согласно данным ведомостей, ученики тратили на изучение грамматики церковнославянского языка полтора года, а греческого — не менее трех лет.

description: The incarceration rate in the United States has increased dramatically in the period since 1945. How did the United States move from having stable incarceration rates in line with global norms to the largest system of incarceration in the world? This study examines the political and intellectual aspects of incarceration and theories of criminal justice by looking at the contributions of journalists, intellectuals and policy makers to the debate on whether the purpose of the justice system is rehabilitation, vengeance, deterrence or incapacitation. This thesis finds that justice and the institution of the prison itself are not immutable facts of modern civilization, but are human institutions vulnerable to the influence of politics, culture and current events.

description: En Haïti, plusieurs ménages sont en situation d’insécurité alimentaire, c’est-à-dire qu’ils n’ont pas accès à une alimentation suffisante, saine et nutritive pour assurer leur santé. Cependant, peu d’études ont examiné les déterminants du problème au niveau des ménages. À l’aide d’une méthodologie quantitative, cette étude a exploré les déterminants de l’accès et de la qualité alimentaire (deux dimensions de la sécurité alimentaire) auprès de 529 ménages dans le département de la Grande Anse. Selon les résultats, la majorité des ménages avait une alimentation de faible qualité nutritionnelle. Un accès alimentaire insuffisant était aussi très répandu avec plus de deux tiers des ménages rapportant des expériences de privation alimentaire. Nos résultats ont de plus confirmé que les déterminants de l’insécurité alimentaire étaient multidimensionnels. En effet, l’accès et la qualité alimentaire ont été associés à des caractéristiques démographiques, géographiques et socio-économiques des ménages et des répondantes. Nos résultats soulignent l’importance des interventions multisectorielles ciblant à la fois les ménages et les individus, particulièrement les femmes, dans la lutte contre l’insécurité alimentaire en Haïti.

description: Целью статьи является анализ темы образования в русской литературе эпохи Просвещения. Русская литература Нового времени, механизмы которой сложились лишь к концу первой трети XVIII в., в развитии темы образования пережила значительную эволюцию. Вначале утверждалась мысль о необходимости наук в жизни человека; затем образование стало восприниматься как комплексный процесс развития и саморазвития, в который воспитание нравственных качеств личности входило как важнейшая составляющая. Образование само по себе, как развитие умственных качеств человека, постепенно стало восприниматься как необходимое условие деятельного постижения духовного начала жизни, Бога, а также мира как Его создания. Целостный круг вопросов образования, самообразования, воспитания и самовоспитания личности оформился в русской литературе в достаточно короткий срок эпохи Просвещения, став одной из важнейших в русской словесности в целом.

description: Contemporary popular music is a ubiquitous social, cultural, and pedagogical force. Enabled by ever-evolving and -expanding technology, its songs and lyrics are transmitted into our most public and private spaces. For this study, I present the Billboard music charts as a functioning pedagogy and curriculum. Riffing on Richter’s denkbilder, Aoki’s curricular worlds of plan and lived experience, Giroux’s public pedagogy, and Giroux & Simon’s theorizing on youth culture, I sound out messages and motives embedded within the hit parade pedagogy. DJing a methodology of qualitative inquiry, autoethnography, and free association, I listen closely to chart-topping songs by Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and P!nk that feature themes of marginalization, and consider the paradox presented by the juxtaposition of their popularity and subject matter. I suggest that this playlist legitimizes and perpetuates its listeners’ marginalization, running counter to its supposed intent to galvanize and inspire. Before signing off, I consider the implications for school-based educators and pedagogy in regard to engaging marginalization, particularly the notion of implementing a curriculum with which students may participate and sing along.

description: O artigo discute a substituição do método tradicional de ensino por metodologias ativas na educação superior. O autor, Thiago Maciel Ferreira, apresenta um debate entre defensores e críticos das metodologias ativas, destacando figuras como John Dewey, Ferrière, Darling-Hammond, Moya, Lacerda, Santos, Venturini e Silva. Dewey e Ferrière criticam o ensino tradicional, defendendo que a educação deve ser prática e integrada à vida real. Darling-Hammond enfatiza a necessidade de preparação adequada dos professores para um mundo em transformação. Moya, Lacerda, Santos, Venturini e Silva argumentam que as metodologias ativas promovem a autonomia e a competência dos alunos, preparando-os melhor para o mercado de trabalho. Por outro lado, críticos como Freinet e Saviani alegam que o movimento Escola Nova, precursor das metodologias ativas, atende a interesses burgueses e elitistas. O artigo conclui que, para preparar os alunos para as demandas do mundo moderno, é essencial adotar metodologias ativas na educação superior, integrando teoria e prática e promovendo um ambiente de ensino mais dinâmico e participativo.

description: With the introduction of antibiotics in animal feed becoming less popular, the agricultural industry has begun a shift towards the use of probiotics in animal feed. Since there is no current method to evaluate the risks of using genetically modified probiotics in animal feed. The goal of this project was to create a genetically modified model organism for risk assessment. The genetic marker for that was chosen was GFP that was to be expressed on the surface of the cell. The fluorescent properties allow for visualisation of the genetically modified bacteria and the surface expression would allow for the easy capture and recovery of the bacteria for culturing and cell counts. Genome wide screens were performed using the CW PRED algorithm to locate proteins with LPXTG motif for cell wall anchoring. 16 hypothetical proteins were detected and 6 were selected as candidates for possible surface display of GFP. Of these candidates, the novel L. casei protein LSEI_2320 was found to be expressed at the mRNA during early growth by RT PCR and at then protein level during stationary phase with western blot. This LPXTG protein was found at the surface of L. casei ATCC334 during stationary phase and late stationary phase with immunofluorescence microscopy. A genetically modified L. casei ATCC334 was constructed using the surface protein LSEI_2320 locus as a region for recombination with the pRV300 suicide plasmid. Genetic modification of the locus by the insertion of a GFP reporter region just before the predicted signal peptide site resulted in the abrogation of the expression of LSEI_2320 from the cell surface at the late stationary phase. It appears that this particular gene is not necessary to cell survival even though it is abundantly expressed on the cell surface and can be used as a location for genetic modification in L. casei ATCC334.

description: Abstract The objective was to assess Professional, Health Advocate and Scholar CanMEDS competencies in anesthesia residents using a Generic Integrated Objective Structured Assessment Tool (GIOSAT) during simulated scenarios. Methods Twenty one anesthesia residents participated in managing two scenarios: “do not resuscitate” and “morphine overdose”. Four trained blinded raters analyzed video recordings using the GIOSAT. Internal structure was examined using generalizability analysis. Results Results of the g-study focused on PHAS and ME components alone, participants accounted for 20% of the scores variance (G-coefficient 0.66). A D-study indicated two raters and eleven or more scenarios would be required for a G-coefficient > 0.80. Conclusion This study demonstrates construct validity for assessing PHAS competencies for low stakes assessment. Results address the gap of assessment performance for PHAS competencies, describe methodology and produce recommendations for summative assessments using simulation.

description: Germany, Austria, Switzerland and rest of Europe libraries have shown unprecedented commitment to facilitating open access to their institutions’ research outputs. The large scale transition to Open Access is accompanied by increasing policy commitments to Open Science (OS) across Europe. Moving towards ‘open’ means we are becoming more dependent on infrastructures that support us in depositing, managing, sharing and publishing research outputs openly.
 Much of the scholarly communications infrastructure run by not for-profits is free to libraries, which helps limit library costs for Open Science. However, this infrastructure has maintenance and development costs to contend with. Without funding, essential services that many are dependent upon are at risk; at risk of service degradation, reduced availability and of survival in some cases. This is infrastructure that we cannot do without.
 The Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services (SCOSS) was established in 2017 to achieve this aim, ultimately to improve the financial position, resilience and sustainability of OS infrastructure services. SCOSS has helped raise 2.3 million Euros so far with France recently committing to this cause with almost 0.5 million. Pledges have come from most continents. Members include the Association of African Universities, the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the Canadian Association of Research Libraries, the Council of Australian University Librarians, EIFL, LIBER, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, France and REDALYC, with SPARC Europe as the coordinator.
 SCOSS provides recommendations for funding to those interested in supporting important OS scholarly communications infrastructure, vetted by its members using robust evaluation processes. After a fruitful pilot SCOSS has received financial support from over 200 university libraries across the globe for SherpaRoMEO and DOAJ. We now look forward to presenting four new infrastructures for funding by the community that includes DOAB, OAPEN, the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) and Open Citations.

description: The purpose of this investigation was to identify the intensity of recovery exercise, relevant to endurance event performance, that would result in the most rapid times for half decrease in blood lactate concentration, following 2 minutes of cycling at maximal rates. Three recovery exercise intensities were investigated: (a) 7% of the maximal rate of oxygen consumption (VO$\sb2$) (LT $-$7%), (b) lactate threshold VO$\sb2$ ( LT), and (c) 7% of VO$\sb2$max above lactate threshold VO$\sb2$ (LT +7%). Seven well-trained male cyclists (mean VO$\sb2$max 4.6 $\pm$ 0.49 L $\times$ min$\sp{-1}$ participated as subjects in the investigation. Each subject completed seven separate cycling tests: (a) one combined lactate threshold-VO$\sb2$max test, (b) three constant work rate tests, and (c) three tests of recovery following supra-lactate threshold exercise (surge-recovery tests). The absolute values of blood lactate concentration were significantly different across the three recovery intensities (p .01). At the end of the 20 minute recovery period the mean blood lactate concentrations were 1.57, 2.49, and 4.17 mmol $\times$ L$\sp{-1}$ for the LT $-$7%, LT%, and LT +7% recovery intensities, respectively. Times for half decrease in blood lactate concentration were calculated. There were no significant differences in these half decrease times between the three recovery intensities (p .01).

description: Dans cette étude, nous examinons la trajectoire d’un migrant canadien-français au XIXe siècle, Sam Gravel, ainsi que les changements identitaires qu’il subit en fonction des lieux de migration qu’il atteint. Sam se rend en Nouvelle-Angleterre en 1882 pendant quelques mois. Il revient brièvement au Québec puis immigre dans l’Ouest canadien en 1883 et y demeurera jusqu’en 1891. Il s’établira ensuite dans le Midwest américain jusqu’en 1897. Il rentrera finalement au Québec et s’installera dans le village de Somerset en 1897. Il décède en 1899 d’une noyade à Québec. C’est en analysant son parcours migratoire, son mode d’établissement et son discours que nous pouvons déterminer comment s’insère sa migration dans les courants de migration du XIXe siècle. Est-ce que ses choix sont représentatifs de la majorité des migrants de l’époque ? Comment ces choix influencent-ils sa perception des autres groupes ethniques ainsi que ses valeurs religieuses et familiales? Sam tient un discours qui se rapproche beaucoup de celui des Canadiens français de l’époque alors qu’il se trouve dans l’Ouest canadien et tend à s’en dégager alors qu’il atteint le Midwest américain.

FCIQMC in the solid state
Creators: name: Bradley, Christopher
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) is a method for stochastically solving the many-body Schrödinger equation and has proven to be extremely accurate when applied to a range of model systems and molecular systems. In this thesis, we showcase two bodies of work that employ FCIQMC to study solid-state systems. Firstly, we demonstrate the use of FCIQMC in a single-particle basis of plane waves to study the ground states of real solids, with a periodic lattice of nuclei represented by Trail-Needs pseudopotentials. We demonstrate that FCIQMC can produce ground state energies comparable to diffusion Monte Carlo in a 2 × 2 × 2 aluminium supercell, and discuss the challenges extending this functionality to larger systems. Secondly, we experiment with calculating properties beyond the ground state. In particular, we focus on spectral properties of the uniformelectron gas. We develop two different approaches for evaluating the quasiparticle energy and effective mass —the density dependence of the latter has been a subject of recent theoretical controversy. For the range of densities studied, we find the effective mass to decrease monotonically as density decreases, in agreement with prior diffusion Monte Carlo simulations.

description: This study investigates geogenic U and As mobilization in relation to bedrock geology, groundwater geochemistry, and the presence of mineral deposits in the Dawson Range, Yukon, Canada, a remote subarctic region that has drawn recent interest from mining industry. Elevated concentrations of U and As occur through natural weathering processes. For this study we compiled and interpreted a geochemical dataset from the region that includes 1,075 rock samples, 365 sediment samples, 3,189 surface water samples, and 384 groundwater samples. Median U concentrations exceed the Canadian guideline for the protection of aquatic life of 15 µg/L (long-term exposure) at 8 % of 547 surface-water monitoring locations and the maximum observed concentration is 337 µg/L. 39 % of monitoring wells have median groundwater U concentrations above this guideline and the maximum observed concentration is 589 µg/L. Uranium mobilization is driven by weathering of granitic and metamorphic bedrock that has contents near or slightly above the average upper crustal abundance of 2.7 µg/g and by formation of soluble calcium-carbonato-uranyl complexes in groundwater. Arsenic is more heterogeneously distributed in rock than U, with localized enrichment occurring near sulfide mineral bearing ore deposits. While > 2,000 µg/L As is observed present in chemically reduced groundwater, As attenuation is also observed through sorption onto Fe-(oxyhydr)oxides. Despite As-rich groundwater, surface-water As concentrations are consistently low (< 1 µg/L), likely due to As attenuation in groundwater discharge zones. This work provides understanding of processes controlling U and As at a regional scale and presents baseline against which possible water-quality changes induced by climate change or industrial activity can be evaluated.

description: A pollen profile from varved lake sediments sampled at 10-year intervals and spanning the past 1000 years is analyzed to understand the effects of climate change and anthropogenic activity on forests in southwestern Quebec. The forests responded rapidly to changes in temperature and precipitation during the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age as well as to land-use changes associated with the European Settlement of the area. The transition into the Little Ice Age was abrupt and had significant impact on the pollen production within a couple of decades. A synthesis of this record with other high-resolution and well-dated pollen data from the conifer-hardwood forest of eastern North America shows consistent results across the whole area, indicating that very-high resolution pollen data can provide insight into multi-decadal climate variability and its impact on forest vegetation. Tree-ring records from the region show inter-annual fluctuations not always consistent between sites, while high-resolution pollen data record multi-decadal to century changes which enable us to interpret climatic effects on plant communities.

description: At its outset, this article outlines broadly the Lacanian concept of imaginary, showing how it is formed from the mirror stage onward and branches into attitudes of rivalry and identification. Then, it is presented the rise of imaginary in capitalist modernity, be it in the relationship with the nature and the world of objects, or in the economic, social and political bonds between human beings. Finally, modern imaginary is articulated with the attitudes of rivalry and identification which rule the world of consumption. / O artigo inicialmente traça, em linhas gerais, o conceito lacaniano de imaginário, mostrando como ele se forma a partir do estádio do espelho e se ramifica em posturas de rivalidade e identificação. Em seguida, é apresentada a ascensão do imaginário na modernidade capitalista, seja na relação com a natureza e o mundo dos objetos, seja nos laços econômicos, sociais e políticos entre os homens. Finalmente, o imaginário moderno é articulado com as posturas de rivalidade e identificação que governam o mundo do consumo.

Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies 1989-1993

description: The Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies developed rapidly in Canada after the birth of world’s first “test tube baby,” Louise Brown, in 1978. Canadian feminists, propelled by the women’s health movement, perceived these technologies as a threat to women’s control over their bodies, the gains made to redefine the identity “woman” against the biological tradition of “mother,” and against the safety and freedom of women based on race, disability and class. In response to the lobby efforts of the women’s movement under the Canadian Coalition for a Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies, the Mulroney government established a commission in 1989 to study the medical, legal, and social implications these technologies would have on Canadian society. Through a qualitative analysis of manuscript and printed sources, this thesis explores the debate surrounding new reproductive technologies (NRTs) before and after the mandate of the Royal Commission (1989 to 1993). It discusses the views and positions of some of the key stakeholders such as the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, the Canadian Medical Association, the DisAbled Women’s Network, as well as adds the voice of infertile women through the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada. This thesis also examines the controversy and discontent created by the Commission’s dismissal of several members, by the management’s style of its Chair, and by the final report’s narrow scope. In the end, the reaction to the report was one of considerable disappointment amongst all major stakeholders, starting with NAC, which claimed that its voice had not been heard. At the same time, the debate over NRTs illustrates NAC’s ongoing internal problems as it faced the challenge of “identity politics.”

Extreme Ultraviolet Hyperspectral Coherent Diffractive Imaging

High order harmonics

description: We demonstrate hyperspectral imaging using two time-delayed, coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) sources. The approach combines broadband XUV high-harmonic generation, holographic imaging, and Fourier transform spectroscopy. The two harmonics sources are spatially separated at generation,and overlap in the far field resulting in a double slit diffraction pattern. We record the two-dimensional intensity modulation as a function of relative time delay; the Fourier transform determines the spatially dependent spectrum. To reduce the delay jitter and improve the spectral resolution, we demonstrate a novel experimental setup that records the relative delay of the two pulses through optical interference. Moreover, we have demonstrated that this broadband approach can be extended to Fourier transform holographic imaging, which avoids extensive phase retrieval computations. Applications include imaging of biological materials near the carbon K-edge.
