Study on Brillouin scattering in optical fibers with emphasis on sensing applications

description: In a distributed Brillouin sensor system, it is crucial to keep the pulse energy uniform for constant signal to noise ratio. This means that the variable DC leakage (pulse base) through the electro-optic modulator must be locked. In this thesis I examine two different methods of locking the pulse base level and look at the advantages and disadvantages of each locking method. It is found that the two locking methods, one based on a lock-in amplifier and the other using proportional-integral-derivative control, both have applications in which they excel at locking the pulse base. Also, a technique to simultaneously lock the pulse base, top, and width is developed and tested. In the field of structural health monitoring, it is often advantageous to monitor the dynamic behaviour of a structure in real-time. The traditional distributed Brillouin sensor does not allow for this dynamic measurement due to the need to sweep the frequency difference between the two lasers and subsequent averaging of waveforms. For the first time to our knowledge, a real-time vibration sensor based on polarization-state perturbations in stimulated Brillouin scattering instead of resonant frequency mismatching monitoring of the Brillouin spectrum has been proposed. The long measurement time of traditional distributed Brillouin sensors is avoided by eliminating the frequency sweep of the pump and Stokes lasers and instead locking them at a single beat frequency corresponding to the static strain of the structure in which the fiber is embedded. This unique sensor allows measurement of vibration frequencies along a sensing fiber as shown in laboratory experiments and also the detection of impact waves from passing vehicles in field tests in which the sensor was embedded in the concrete pavement of a highway. A 20 ns pulse width with potential spatial resolution of 2 m was used over a sensing length of 300 m. Also, studies of the Brillouin linewidth under cw pump and Stokes waves are done in order to confirm the validity of a new definition of the threshold power in Brillouin fiber amplifiers which involve both input pump and input Stokes waves - all previous threshold definitions took into account only the input pump power. Finally, some interesting lineshape characteristics such as spectral hole burning and side-lobes on the Brillouin spectrum are observed for high power 2 ns Stokes pulses and their origins explained qualitatively. The evolution of these features with increasing pump power is investigated. The effect of laser linewidth and fiber length on these features is also considered.

description: Objective: In midst of the overdose crisis, the clinical features of opioid overdoses seem to be changing. Understanding of the adverse effects of synthetic opioids such as fentanyl is currently limited to clinical settings. Insite, a supervised injection site in Vancouver, Canada, provides an opportunity to better understand illicit drug overdose presentations. Methods: A review of clinical records at Insite for October 2016 to April 2017 was undertaken to quantify atypical overdose presentations. Overdose reports were reviewed for the number of atypical opioid overdose presentations, temporal trends over the study period, concurrent symptoms, and interventions employed by staff. Results: Insite staff responded to 1581 overdoses during the study period, including 497 (31.4%) that did not fit a typical presentation for opioid overdoses. Of these, 485 fit into five categories of atypical features: muscle rigidity, dyskinesia, slow or irregular heart rate, confusion, and anisocoria. Muscle rigidity was the most common atypical presentation, observed in 240 (15.2%) of the overdose cases, followed by dyskinesia, observed in 150 (9.2%). Slow or irregular heart rate was observed in 69 (4.4%) cases, confusion in 24 (1.5%), and anisocoria in 2 (0.1%) of overall overdose cases. Discussion: The similarity of atypical overdose cases at Insite with anesthesiology case reports supports the understanding that the illicit drug supply is contaminated by fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. Atypical overdose presentations can affect clinical overdose response. The experience at Insite highlights the potential for supervised consumption sites to be innovative spaces for community learning and knowledge translation.

description: We apply the Jeans Anisotropic Multi-Gaussian Expansion dynamical modelling method to SAGES Legacy Unifying Globulars and GalaxieS (SLUGGS) survey data of early-type galaxies in the stellar mass range 1010 < M*/M⊙ < 1011.6 that cover a large radial range of 0.1-4.0 effective radii.We combine SLUGGS and ATLAS3D data sets to model the total-mass profiles of a sample of 21 fast-rotator galaxies, utilizing a hyperparameter method to combine the two independent data sets. The total-mass density profile slope values derived for these galaxies are consistent with those measured in the inner regions of galaxies by other studies. Furthermore, the total-mass density slopes (γtot) appear to be universal over this broad stellar mass range, with an average value of γtot= -2.24± 0.05, i.e. slightly steeper than isothermal. We compare our results to model galaxies from the Magneticum and EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, in order to probe the mechanisms that are responsible for varying total-mass density profile slopes. The simulated-galaxy slopes are shallower than the observed values by ~0.3-0.5, indicating that the physical processes shaping the mass distributions of galaxies in cosmological simulations are still incomplete. For galaxies with M* > 1010.7M⊙ in the Magneticum simulations, we identify a significant anticorrelation between total-mass density profile slopes and the fraction of stellar mass formed ex situ (i.e. accreted), whereas this anticorrelation is weaker for lower stellar masses, implying that the measured total-mass density slopes for low-mass galaxies are less likely to be determined by merger activity.

description: This paper describes and discusses the pedagogical foundations and the technical features that enables rapid generation of role-play simulations on the Web. The pedagogical approach of this learning technology is based on the principles of dynamic goal-based learning, and learning by doing within the context of authentic educational settings where students are allowed the opportunity to acquire the intended learning outcomes by making mistakes in safe environments. Based on this clearly articulated and proven pedagogical design, we are able to develop a process by which a designer can quickly create a web-based role-play simulation. Incremental modification is an essential feature in this rapid cyclic development process allowing further refinement to the simulation as it progresses. The technology used to support this environment is Fablusi Role-Play Simulation Generator (see FablusiTM Website at http://www.Fablusi.com/authoring/).

Malathion induced terata and their biochemical implications in the developing chick embryo.
Creators: name: Greenberg, Jack.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1971
Subjects: subject: Biology, Animal Physiology.

description: Malathion is one of the organophosphorus insecticides least toxic to mammals. The toxicity of this compound in chick embryos is known; however, its teratogenic nature has not been recorded. Concentrations from 1.17 to 116.6 milligrams per egg were injected into the yolk sacs of 1 to 12 day incubated chicken eggs, and various types of abnormalities were produced. Injections of 3.99 and 6.42 milligrams malathion into the yolk sacs of 4 and 5 day incubated eggs produced deformed chicks with a combination of sparse plumage, micromelia, overall growth retardation and beak defects.All known breakdown and related products of malathion were investigated as to their teratogenicity; however, only the parent compound and malaoxon were capable of producing the aforementioned terata. Malathion causes a reduction in growth to, embryos from eggs injected on days 4 and 5 of incubation. Various metabolites were injected along with malathion into fertile eggs in an attempt to determine the possible effect of the latter compound on metabolism. Of the compounds injected, tryptophan prevented both the malformations and the growth retardation while nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, and quinolinic acid prevented the malformations only. A tryptophan assay revealed a reduction of total tryptophan content in malathion treated embryos indicating a reduction in uptake of this amino acid from the yolk. Other compounds related to tryptophan by electronic reactivity enhanced the effect of malathion. Several NAB or NADp linked dehydrogenasas were investigated by histochemical and biochemical methods on both malathion treated and untreated embryos. A cholinesterase assay on embryo homogenates revealed no apparent relationship between cholinesterase levels and teratisms.

description: Objective: This study explores the relationships of patient distress, family caregiver distress and patient quality of life (QOL) in a Chinese-speaking cancer population, using a comparison group of Anglophone patients and family caregivers in British Columbia, Canada. Methods: Quantitative regression analysis of survey data was conducted to examine the direct and indirect effects of patient and family caregiver distress on patient QOL based on data from 29 Chinese-speaking and 28 Anglophone dyads. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of ten Chinese-speaking patients and six family caregivers to further clarify the interrelationships among patient distress, family caregiver distress and patient QOL. Results: Patient distress was a significant predictor of patient QOL (β = -.79). The effects of patient age on patient emotional well-being were mediated by patient distress, such that lower distress in older patients explained better emotional functioning. A key theme from the qualitative data analysis was the emotional regulation of patient and family caregiver, where both sought to regulate their emotions to protect each other from further cancer-related distress. Conclusion: These results highlight the importance of understanding the patients’ and family members’ cultural and social context, in patient- and family-centred care.

description: Abstract It is still unclear how genetic information, provided as single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), can be most effectively integrated into risk prediction models for coronary heart disease (CHD) to add significant predictive value beyond clinical risk models. For the present study, a population‐based case‐cohort was used as a trainingset (451 incident cases, 1488 noncases) and an independent cohort as testset (160 incident cases, 2749 noncases). The following strategies to quantify genetic information were compared: A weighted genetic risk score including Metabochip SNPs associated with CHD in the literature (GRSMetabo); selection of the most predictive SNPs among these literature‐confirmed variants using priority‐Lasso (PLMetabo); validation of two comprehensive polygenic risk scores: GRSGola based on Metabochip data, and GRSKhera (available in the testset only) based on cross‐validated genome‐wide genotyping data. We used Cox regression to assess associations with incident CHD. C‐index, category‐free net reclassification index (cfNRI) and relative integrated discrimination improvement (IDIrel) were used to quantify the predictive performance of genetic information beyond Framingham risk score variables. In contrast to GRSMetabo and PLMetabo, GRSGola significantly improved the prediction (delta C‐index [95% confidence interval]: 0.0087 [0.0044, 0.0130]; IDIrel: 0.0509 [0.0131, 0.0894]; cfNRI improved only in cases: 0.1761 [0.0253, 0.3219]). GRSKhera yielded slightly worse prediction results than GRSGola.

An empirical investigation of the Rogerian counselling conditions and locus of control.
Creators: name: Klassen, Daniel.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1979
Subjects: subject: Education, Guidance and Counseling.

description: Carl Rogers postulated that certain necessary and sufficient conditions for personality change are congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathy. He predicted that personality change would occur in clients who perceive the counselling conditions in a therapeutic relationship. Julian Rotter, in his theory, contends that an individual's belief in locus of control is an important variable in the study of personality. Rogers indicates that the individual with a healthy personality would tend to be internal in his locus of control, while the individual without a healthy personality tends to be external in his locus of control. He asserts that clients must perceive the congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathy of the counsellor prior to positive personality change taking place. It was therefore hypothesized that there would be a difference in the locus of control change scores of the group of clients who perceive their counsellors as possessing counselling conditions and the group of clients who perceive their counsellors as not possessing the counselling conditions. Subjects for the study were self referred clients who sought personal adjustment counselling from school counsellors who volunteered to participate in the study. The Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory (Form OS-M-64) was used to determine the client's perception of the counselling conditions. The difference between the Social Reaction Inventory pre-test and post-test scores was used to indicate changes in locus of control over the twelve week experimental period. The hypothesis was not supported. Various explanations for the results are suggested. Recommendations for further study include replication of the study in a clinical setting and a study over a longer counselling period with greater numbers of counsellors and clients.

description: Debates about book censorship and selection are far-reaching and ongoing, however little research has lingered in the spaces of irresolvable tension within these debates, and specifically the debates that focus on novels read in school. In an intertextual analysis of literary theory and editorial-blog responses to a recent debate about the suitability of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale as a high school text, I work to broaden and trouble understandings of what it means to read this novel in school. The online forum for discussion is a unique space that offers new and different insights into an age-old conversation. Weaving online reader responses to the Handmaid's Tale debate with a large body of research that struggles with our complicated relationship with reading, this thesis strives to add complexity and depth to an often-polarizing issue.

Steady-state evaluation of control schemes for binary distillation.
Creators: name: Chan, Alan Lik.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1967
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: Utilizing the Smoker equation, an analytical method equivalent to the McCabe-Thiele diagram method was developed to evaluate some simple control schemes for a binary distillation tower. The basis of evaluation was the steady-state deviations of product purities when the tower was subject to a sustained disturbance in feed composition, rate or enthalpy. The schemes proposed in this work were a simple feedforward and a feedback heat-balance control scheme. These control schemes were simulated on an IBM-360 and IBM-1620 digital computer. The feedback heat-balance control was further verified on a laboratory pilot-scale binary distillation tower separating a methanol-water mixture. These two control schemes handled feed composition and enthalpy disturbances more successfully than the rate disturbance. In general, for one end control, the feedback heat-balance control was better than the simple feedforward one. For feed composition disturbance and two end control the simple feedforward control was the better one. The feedback heat-balance control was more suitable for system with high relative volatility and top composition control. Also, the closer the control tray to the end of the column, the better the product purity.

A form and process response study of a terminal ice cored ablation moraine.
Creators: name: Ross, A. Blair.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1976
Subjects: subject: Geology.

description: The initiation and distribution of certain types of degradational processes together with resultant topographical changes on an ice cored moraine were studied in terms of the variation in micro climatic and glacial surge inputs operating on it. The study was conceived in terms of a process-response model. The study area was located on a large arcuate shaped ice cored end moraine, which rims the terminus of the Donjek Valley Glacier located in the Donjek Valley, St. Elias Mountains, Yukon Territory. The end moraine lies approximately 0.8 to 2.7 Km downvalley from the present position of the glacier and is detached from it. The regional climate of the area was determined from data collected from a nearby government operated meteorological station. Climatic inputs occurring on or near the moraine surface, from June 1 to July 25, 1972, were obtained from two micro meteorological stations located directly on its surface. All data was abstracted and shown on graphs as mean daily values. The number of days that one station exceeded the other either/or on a mean daily basis and over three hour intervals, was also noted over the study period.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Computer.
subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), an easy and simple Internet application layer protocol used to establish a session, and passive Internet Protocol (IP) devices like SIP-based surveillance cameras, form a perspective combination that is on demand in the network market. The only necessity of the predefined network is to acquire a secure mechanism due to the private information that the devices transmit on the Internet network. This thesis proposes an architecture for securing information that passive IP devices deliver into public IP networks. The architecture provides a security mechanism for authentication, authorization, and audit (AAA). The mechanism combines the security features of the authentication server with SIP architecture to provide AAA service to registered users requesting access to passive IP devices. Also, the Authentication-Authorization Database (AADB) that allows device certificate management is introduced. The dynamic password and dynamic session key utilized by the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) scheme are also introduced to enhance the security features of devices by authenticating and administering user accesses and device accesses. The AAA with the authentication database and dynamic authentication mechanism ensures a secure IP network based on SIP protocol.

description: We present cosmological parameter constraints from a joint analysis of three cosmological probes: the tomographic cosmic shear signal in~450 deg2 of data from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS), the galaxy-matter cross-correlation signal of galaxies from the Galaxies And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey determined with KiDS weak lensing, and the angular correlation function of the same GAMA galaxies. We use fast power spectrum estimators that are based on simple integrals over the real-space correlation functions, and show that they are practically unbiased over relevant angular frequency ranges. We test our full pipeline on numerical simulations that are tailored to KiDS and retrieve the input cosmology. By fitting different combinations of power spectra, we demonstrate that the three probes are internally consistent. For all probes combined, we obtain S8 ≡ σ8 √ Ωm/0.3 = 0.800-0.027 +0.029, consistent with Planck and the fiducial KiDS-450 cosmic shear correlation function results. Marginalizing over wide priors on the mean of the tomographic redshift distributions yields consistent results for S8 with an increase of 28 per cent in the error. The combination of probes results in a 26 per cent reduction in uncertainties of S8 over using the cosmic shear power spectra alone. The main gain from these additional probes comes through their constraining power on nuisance parameters, such as the galaxy intrinsic alignment amplitude or potential shifts in the redshift distributions, which are up to a factor of 2 better constrained compared to using cosmic shear alone, demonstrating the value of large-scale structure probe combination.
Analysis of expenditure patterns and levels of household indebtedness of public and private rental households, 1975 to 1999: final report

description: This report is the final one from the AHURI project analysing and comparing housing expenditure patterns and levels of indebtedness of public and private rental households over the period 1975- 76 to 1998-99. The study is based on ABS Confidentialised Unit Record Files of household expenditure for four time periods: 1975-76, 1988-89, 1993-94 and 1998-99. The Household Expenditure Survey (HES) has also been conducted for 1983-84, but this period was not used as the rental housing data could not be made comparable. The HES is a survey of nearly 7,000 to 10,000 households (the sample size depends on the year) who are required to keep a written diary (supplemented by interviews) of the cost of acquiring goods and services over a two week period. The consumption information collected is extremely detailed but can be aggregated into broader expenditure categories such as housing, education, health and financial insurance, and clothing and footwear. In addition to the time series analysis, the 1998-99 survey included questions on financial stress. The data is highly useful for a range of applications including policy evaluation, analysis of market trends and consumer behaviour, and problem identification.

description: New energy, transport, computer and telecommunication technologies require an increasing supply of rare earth elements (REEs). As a consequence, adequate and robust detection methods become essential for the exploration and discovery of new deposits, the improved characterization of existing deposits and the future recycling of today’s high-tech products. Within this paper, we investigate the potential of combining passive reflectance (imaging and point sampling) with laser stimulated luminescence (point sampling) spectroscopic measurements across the visible, near and shortwave infrared for REE detection in non-invasive near-field mineral exploration. We analyse natural REE-bearing mineral samples from main REE-deposits around the world and focus on challenges such as the discrimination of overlapping spectroscopic features and the influence of the mineral type on detectability, feature position and mineral matrix luminescence. We demonstrate that the cross-validation of results from both methods increases the robustness and sensitivity, provides the potential for semi-quantification and enables the time- and cost-efficient detection of economically important REE, including Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Dy, Er, Yb and potentially also Ho and Tm.

description: This thesis is a study of magnetic properties of new icosahedral quasicrystals Ag50In36Gd14, Zn77Fe7Sc 16 and a 1/1 crysta lline approximant Ag50In36Gd 14. The Ag50In36Gd14 and Zn77 Fe7Sc16 quasicrystals are shown to have a primitive six-dimensional Bravais lattice with a six-dimensional hypercubic lattice constant of, respectively, 7.805(2) and 7.087(1) A. The crystal structure of the approximant Ag50In36Gd14 is found to be of the YbCd6 type (space group lm3¯) with a lattice constant of 15.202(1) A. No evidence is found for a transition to a ground state with long-range magnetic order in the temperature range 2--300 K for all three alloys. These three alloys are shown to be spin glasses. The spin freezing temperature of the Ag50In36Gd14 and Zn77Fe 7Sc16 quasicrystals is, respectively, 4.25(5) and 7.75(2) K. The unusual spin freezing in the approximant is found to occur in two stages: at ∼3.6 K spins develop short-range correlations but they co ntinue to fluctuate at low frequencies, and then long-range freezing is achieved upon further cooling to below ∼2.4 K. The Ag50In36Gd 14 quasicrystal and its 1/1 approximant are shown to belong to a category of strongly geometrically frustrated magnets. The frequency dependence of the freezing temperature in all three alloys is shown to be equally well accounted for by the Vogel-Fulcher law and the power law. Analysis of the ageing effects observed in the Zn77Fe 7Sc16 quasicrystal leads to a major discovery that the nature of the spin-glass state in this quasicrystal is fundamentally different from that of a canonical spin glass. The effective magnetic moment at Gd atoms in the Ag50In 36Gd14 quasicrystal and its 1/1 approximant is found to be close to that of a Gd+3 ion. The effective magnetic moment at Fe atoms in the Zn77Fe7Sc16 quasicrystal is the largest ever found in an Fe-containing quasicrystal. The hyperfine magnetic fields at 155Gd and 57Fe nuclei in the Ag50In36Gd14 and Zn77 Fe7Sc16 quasicrystals are shown to set in at temperatures larger than the corresponding freezing temperatures. The presence of the distribution of the electric quadrupole splitting in the 155Gd Mossbauer spectra of the Ag50In36Gd14 quasicrystal indicate s the existence of the multiplicity of Gd sites. The binomial distribution of the electric quadrupole splitting and the hyperfine magnetic field derived from the 57Fe Mossbauer spectra Zn77Fe 7Sc16 quasicrystal indicates the existence of two classes of Fe sites. The Debye temperatures of the quasicrystals Ag50In 36Gd14, Zn77Fe7Sc16, and the approximant Ag50In36Gd14 determined from the Mossbauer spectra are, respectively, 199(2),443(8), and 199(1) K.
Tourist mobility: Characteristics and differentiation from everyday mobility

description: The aim of this paper is to provide a concise categorisation of tourism mobility and to build a bridge between transport and tourism research. To this end, a two-dimensional model of mobility is presented that illustrates the different forms of mobility in everyday life and tourism. The model shows that the boundaries between everyday mobility and tourist mobility are fluid and that a view of tourist mobility based purely on everyday journeys is inaccurate. As their destinations, frequencies and distances can differ greatly, the modelling of traffic flows and needs must take into account the temporal, spatial and organisational differences between everyday and tourist mobility

description: Mit dem Übereinkommen von Paris ist das Thema langfristige, strategische Planung für die Erreichung transformativer Klimaschutzziele in den Fokus gerückt. Klimaschutzszenarien spielen eine entscheidende Rolle in der langfristigen Klimaschutzplanung. Die Modellierung - die in solchen Szenarien durchgeführt wird - informiert die Entwicklung von 2050 Klimaschutzstrategien, die der Politik als Richtschnur für die Entwicklung hin zu einer klimaneutralen Gesellschaft dienen können. Alle EU Mitgliedstaaten waren aufgefordert, bis Anfang 2020 solche nationale Klimaschutzstrategien vorlegen. Aufgrund von inhaltlichen und methodischen Unterschieden der entsprechenden Klimaschutzszenarien und deren zugrundeliegenden Modellierungen, unterscheiden sich diese Strategien wesentlich in Hinsicht auf Ambition, Umfang und Inhalt. Um dieser Vielfalt Struktur zu geben, beschreibt dieser Bericht einen Kriterienkatalog für die vergleichende und normative Auswertung langfristiger Klimaschutzszenarien, so wohl in Europa als auch weltweit.

description: Climate protection scenarios are a key part of long-term climate policy planning, which has been given a further boost by the Paris Agreement. The modelling performed in such scenarios informs the development of 2050 national climate strategies-which themselves serve as roadmaps for the decarbonisation of the economy. By early 2020, all EU Member States were called to deliver some form of a national climate strategy for 2050, but these will likely vary substantially in ambition, scope and content, in large part also due to the different content inputs provided by respective national policy scenarios and emission pathways modelling. This document outlines a catalogue of criteria for the comparative and normative evaluation of long-term climate protection scenarios, both in Europe and internationally. Quelle: Forschungsbericht
description: Climate protection scenarios are an important basis for long-term climate protection planning. The modelling, which is often carried out in extensive studies, is a central source of information for decision makers and stakeholders in the development of climate protection strategies. This report outlines a catalog of criteria for the systematic evaluation of long-term climate protection scenarios.  The criteria were selected on the basis of four guiding questions relating to the degree of reduction envisaged, the way in which this reduction is achieved, the contextual conditions and the methodological strength of the underlying modeling.
