Synchronizable test sequence generation for protocol conformance testing.
Creators: name: Wang, Zhiping.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This study addresses the synchronization problem that arises during the application of a predetermined test sequence in some test architectures used for protocol conformance testing. A solution to this problem is to construct synchronizable test sequences. For FSM-based protocol specifications, a necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of a synchronizable test sequence for a given FSM. A polynomial time algorithm is then developed to determine the existence of such a sequence for a given FSM. A duplex digraph method is developed which transforms the order-specified digraph representing an FSM into a duplex digraph. Using the duplex digraph representation of a given FSM, a polynomial time algorithm is developed to generate a synchronizable test sequence for the FSM which checks only the output function of the FSM. The W-, D- and UIO-methods are extended to an FSM represented by an order-specified digraph by employing synchronizable W-sets, synchronizable DS sequences and synchronizable UIO sequences, respectively. Polynomial time algorithms are then developed to generate synchronizable test sequences for a given FSM which check the transfer function as well as the output function.

Priests, religious, and public office in the 1983 Code of Canon Law.
Creators: name: Gaffney, Christopher.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1990
Subjects: subject: Religion, Clergy.

description: The subject of this study is canon 285, par. 3 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law which forbids clerics from assuming any public office (officia publica) which entails a participation in civil power (civilis potestas). This canon represents a notable shift of perspective away from the requirement in the 1917 Code of obtaining permission to assume a public office involving the exercise of civil power. The emphasis is now on a straightforward prohibition with no direct reference to exceptions in the law. It is the hypothesis of this study that while canon 285, par. 3 is verbally stronger, more emphatic, and less specific with regard to exceptions than the prior legislation, when interpreted and applied in the context of the church as communio, it reflects an extremely nuanced approach to this issue on the part of the law which does not favour the hard and fast rule that public offices are open to the laity and closed to the clergy. The methodology of the dissertation is structured on the recognition that canon 285, par. 3, like all human laws, came into existence because someone, the legislator, perceived a value which could benefit the community, formulated a norm to achieve that value, and finally asked the community to act on the norm and appropriate the value. Thus, the study lists those values which, in different periods, the legislator has sought to uphold by legislation concerning clerical and religious participation in civil power. It finds that the value underlying the contemporary law is the ministerial health of the communio. A textual and contextual analysis of canon 285, par. 3 concludes that the legislator signifies his intention of focussing on the juridical status of sacred ministers which, of its nature, is changeable and not on the unchangeable elements of ordination. In this light, there appears to be no direct link between the prohibition from public office and the nature and effects of ordination. Furthermore, since permanent deacons are exempted from the prohibition in virtue of canon 288, it seems reasonable to infer that the prohibition from public office is not based on the incompatibility of such offices with the clerical state and encourages a pastoral flexibility and sensitivity. In a concluding section, the study treats of the power of diocesan bishops to dispense from canon 285, par. 3 which, when considered in the context of communio, highlights the necessity of employing such structures as the presbyteral council, the conference of bishops, and the pastoral council, in the evaluation and application of the canon.

description: Where is the Australian Government's procurement policy for accessible information and communications technology? This paper investigates the current Australian Government procurement policy, the policies being introduced to dismantle barriers that Australians living with disability encounter and the international procurement policy environment for accessible information and communications technology (ICT). The paper argues that in order for Australians with disability to be able to have more access to employment, public services and a greater market of accessible ICT products and services Australia will need to adopt a comprehensive whole-of-government procurement policy for accessible ICT.

description: Background: Women involved in both street-level and off-street sex work face disproportionate health and social inequities compared to the general population. While much research has focused on HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among sex workers, there remains a gap in evidence regarding the broader health issues faced by this population, including mental health. Given limited evidence describing the mental health of women in sex work, our objective was to evaluate the burden and correlates of mental health diagnoses among this population in Vancouver, Canada. Methods: An Evaluation of Sex Workers Health Access (AESHA) is a prospective, community-based cohort of on- and off-street women in sex work in Vancouver, Canada. Participants complete interviewer-administered questionnaires semi-annually. We analyzed the lifetime burden and correlates of self-reported mental health diagnoses using bivariate and multivariable logistic regression. Results: Among 692 sex workers enrolled between January 2010 and February 2013, 338 (48.8%) reported ever being diagnosed with a mental health issue, with the most common diagnoses being depression (35.1%) and anxiety (19.9%). In multivariable analysis, women with mental health diagnoses were more likely to identify as a sexual/gender minority (LGBTQ) [AOR=2.56, 95% CI: 1.72—3.81], to use non-injection drugs [AOR=1.85, 95% CI: 1.12—3.08], to have experienced childhood physical/sexual trauma [AOR=2.90, 95% CI: 1.89—4.45], and work in informal indoor [AOR=1.94, 95% CI: 1.12 – 3.40] or street/public spaces [AOR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.03–2.99]. Conclusions: This analysis highlights the disproportionate mental health burden experienced by women in sex work, particularly among those identifying as a sexual/gender minority, those who use drugs, and those who work in informal indoor venues and street/public spaces. Evidence-informed interventions tailored to sex workers that address intersections between trauma and mental health should be further explored, alongside policies to foster access to safer workspaces and health services.

Subjects: subject: Religion, Philosophy of.

description: Le sujet de cette these est l'intervention de l'inconnu dans la vie personnelle examinee a travers les temoignages de differents penseurs de notre tradition occidentale (Socrate, Apulee, Julien, Augustin). On discute ici de leur consensus a propos de la facon dont quelque chose d'autre que l'homme s'adresse intimement a ce dernier au fil de sa destinee. On parle de leur reconnaissance transculturelle d'un agencement exceptionnel de phenomenes a la fois physiques, psychiques et spirituels qu'ils atribuent, chacun suivant sa culture et sa religion, a la manifestation d'une realite independante et paradoxalement inconnaissable en elle-meme. Premierement, on delimite l'enquete par rapport a la theologie, aux sciences religieuses et aux philosophies de la religion en general. Deuxiemement, on verifie la validite d'une criteriologie de ce discernement et l'on montre qu'elle s'avere identique chez les penseurs etudies. Troisiemement, on corrobore le contenu de cette criteriologie a l'aide des avis d'une serie d'autres penseurs occidentaux grecs, latins et chretiens, dont Platon, Aristote, Clement d'Alexandrie, Jamblique, Macrobe, Pseudo-Denys, Thomas d'Aquin, etc. Quatriemement, on etablit la pertinence et l'originalite de cette contribution epistemologique par des comparaisons avec les points de vue de specialistes tels que Festugiere, Bultmann, Barth, Tillich, Otto, Dodds, Hick, Hoffman. Enfin, en appendice, on ajoute d'autres comparaisons avec des auteurs comme Husserl, Dumery, Marion, Urs von Balthasar, Bouyer, etc. En somme, la these reunit pour la premiere fois les conditions d'experience reelles a partir desquelles maints sages du passe disaient qu'une realite autre qu'humaine pouvait intervenir au cours de notre existence. Elle explique les composantes de ce "scheme de reconnaissance", lequel n'avait pas encore ete etudie sous cette forme en philsophie. Ce faisant, elle relativise nombre d'opinions qui circulent toujours a ce sujet et degage l'importance de certains facteurs irrationnels, involontaires, intransmissibles et gratuits qui se trouvent aussi a l'origine historique de l'impulsion a philosopher.

description: The percentage of rural students in medical schools in the United States has been dropping for the last two decades which has helped contribute to rural physician shortages. Government agencies have typically implemented financial incentives to entice physicians to work in rural areas to combat the rural physician shortage. This study approached the problem differently by seeking to identify barriers within the rural pre-medicine student experience that may be limiting their ability to get accepted into medical school. This phenomenological study asks participants from the University of Iowa to highlight their experience in relation to their rural and pre-medicine identities. Participants identified several incidents that were unique to rural pre-medicine students that created barriers including limited high school science curriculum, limited shadowing and career exposure in their rural towns, and the role of meaning-making on student success. These findings highlight the need for higher education to better identify and academically support rural pre-medicine students, create meaningful connections with rural pre-medicine students early in their college careers, and develop K-20 pathways for rural students interested in medicine.

description: The research work of this thesis is motivated by a desire to render views of 3D environments in real-time on mobile devices. Considering the weak support for 3D hardware accelerations of mobile devices, it is hard to render geometry-based models at an interactive rate. The utilization of image-based rendering techniques in mobile devices is presented in this thesis. In order to have a systematical knowledge of image-based rendering, we briefly review different image-based rendering techniques. Although image-based rendering is advantageous to geometry-based rendering in certain circumstances, further tailoring is still required to immigrate it to mobile devices. This thesis presents a technique for running image-based rendering tasks on mobile devices. This technique comprises a lightweight rendering algorithm and a local cache management mechanism. Results have shown that the proposed algorithm requires less CPU cycles compared to other algorithms, and that the local buffer management mechanism is robust to communication errors.

Population invariance in composite-score equating with the random groups design

public abstract

description: This dissertation was designed to foster a deeper understanding of population invariance in the context of composite-score equating and provide practitioners with guidelines for addressing score equity concerns at the composite score level. The purpose of this dissertation was threefold. The first was to compare different composite equating procedures in their ability to preserve population invariance under the random groups design. The second was to evaluate how well different composite equating procedures preserve population invariance when test forms are not parallel in content, difficulty, or reliability. The third purpose was to investigate the impact of differential dimensionality on population invariance for various composite equating procedures.
description: A total of ten composite equating procedures across three types of equating methods (equipercentile, IRT true-score, and IRT observed-score) and three variations of composite equating frameworks (composite-to-composite equating, separate equating then scoring, and separate equating then combining) were examined and evaluated through three studies using different data types in this dissertation. Results indicated that when test forms were very similar in content, difficulty, and reliability, and had very similar dimensionality structures across forms/subpopulations, population invariance of equating would not be compromised, regardless of which composite equating procedure was used. However, when test forms were not strictly parallel, the performance of the equating procedures with respect to population invariance varied slightly depending on which equating method was used, which composite equating framework was chosen, degree of dimensionality, and test and sample characteristics.

description: There have been many control algorithms proposed in the literature for handling the flow control of the Available Bit Rate (ABR) class of service on ATM. But few have demonstrated sound theoretical development, compliance to TM4.0, and a practical design. This thesis attempts to formalize and present ABR flow control from fundamentals to illustrate the requirements for designing a better algorithm. It explains TM4.0 ABR control rules and highlights subtleties in the standards that are commonly missed in the literature; these factors result in non-compliance and render the proposed algorithms impractical. This thesis also attempts to present various practical switch designs and their capabilities for ABR support. It applies traditional control theory to ABR flow control. It demonstrates that understanding the combination of all these three aspects is key to designing ABR control algorithms that are theoretically sound and practical. A rate thresholding explicit rate (ER) based control algorithm, FASTRAC (FAST RAte Computation), is the focus of the simulation analysis. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: TGFβ1, a decisive regulator of megakaryocyte maturation and platelet formation, has previously been shown to up-regulate both, store operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and Ca2+ extrusion by Na+/Ca2+ exchange. The growth factor thus augments the increase of cytosolic Ca2+ activity ([Ca2+]i) following release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and accelerates the subsequent decline of [Ca2+]i. The effect on SOCE is dependent on a signaling cascade including p38 kinase, serum & glucocorticoid inducible kinase SGK1, and nuclear factor NFκB. The specific Na+/Ca2+ exchanger isoforms involved and the signalling regulating the Na+/Ca2+ exchangers remained, however elusive. The present study explored, whether TGFβ1 influences the expression and function of K+ insensitive (NCX) and K+ sensitive (NCKX) Na+/Ca2+ exchangers, and aimed to shed light on the signalling involved. Methods: In human megakaryocytic cells (MEG01) RT-PCR was performed to quantify NCX/NCKX isoform transcript levels, [Ca2+]i was determined by Fura-2 fluorescence, and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger activity was estimated from the increase of [Ca2+]i following switch from an extracellular solution with 130 or 90 mM Na+ and 0 mM Ca2+ to an extracellular solution with 0 Na+ and 2 mM Ca2+. K+ concentration was 0 mM for analysis of NCX and 40 mM for analysis of NCKX. Results: TGFβ1 (60 ng/ml, 24 h) significantly increased the transcript levels of NCX1, NCKX1, NCKX2 and NCKX5. Moreover, TGFβ1 (60 ng/ml, 24 h) significantly increased the activity of both, NCX and NCKX. The effect of TGFβ1 on NCX and NCKX transcript levels and activity was significantly blunted by p38 kinase inhibitor Skepinone-L (1 µM), the effect on NCX and NCKX activity further by SGK1 inhibitor GSK-650394 (10 µM) and NFκB inhibitor Wogonin (100 µM). Conclusions: TGFβ1 markedly up- regulates transcription of NCX1, NCKX1, NCKX2, and NCKX5 and thus Na+/Ca2+ exchanger activity, an effect requiring p38 kinase, SGK1 and NFκB.

public abstract

description: This work studies a group of magnetic semiconductors, with a major focus on vanadium tetracyanoethylene (V[TCNE]x, x ≈ 2), an organic-based ferri-magnetic with high magnetic order- ing temperature and low loss magnetic dynamics. Magnetic materials like VTCNE are interesting to a number of sub-fields. In spintronics, a high ordering temperature, low loss of energy, as well as ease of depositing and patterning may enable applications in spin-based data transport systems. In quantum information, the coherent magnonic properties and ease of doping due to permanent porosity of VTCNE makes it an interesting candidate for quantum information material as well.
description: For this work, We perform density functional theory (DFT) calculations in order to lay down a theoretical ground work for said materials. We closely compare our theoretical results with experimental measurements from our collaborators, and have then obtained consistent match between our results and have provided both sides with additional insights into this group of mate- rials. We have looked at the structural ordering, electronic structure, magnetic anisotropy, phonon modes and its implications to ageing, dielectric properties, elastic and magneto-elastic proper- ties of VTCNE. We have also explored different transition-metal-TCNE systems, various gas doped VTCNE systems, and other systems with similar magnetic properties, like vanadium tetra- cyanobenzene (VTCNB) and Prussian blue analogues (PBA). Some thermal properties like coefficient of thermal expansion have also been explored.
description: We have also worked on the ab initio calculation of crystal field splitting of lanthanide doped materials. We carefully examined methods present in the literature and developed our own code to combine with the DFT calculation and obtain the targeted result. We put our calculated crystal field splittings to test against experimental results and obtained a satisfying match between the results. This work has the potential to be extended to the calculation of new systems and make predictions on their potential as quantum transduction devices.

description: This dissertation examines South Carolina Loyalist refugees who sheltered in British-occupied Charlestown during the Revolutionary War. The study builds on emerging scholarship arguing that practicality, not ideology, motivated Loyalists to choose sides to protect their person, family, and property from belligerents. From 1780 to 1782, the British occupation of Charlestown attracted some 10,000 colonists and escaped bondspeople eager to swear allegiance in exchange for paternalistic aid and security. Loyalist refugees and bondspeople placed unbearable pressure on the British occupiers to provide food, clothing, shelter, medicines, education, and employment. As a result, the British failed to balance civilian and military needs, pushing many colonists to withdraw loyalty to the Crown. When the British evacuated Charlestown, most Loyalist refugees remained in South Carolina to rebuild their lives in the new republic.

description: The Ontario of Ministry Natural Resources spends considerable effort each year managing white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus ). A selective harvest system, which regulates kill by issuing a restricted number of either-sex harvest permits (called tags), has been the main tool employed to manage populations. Using harvest and biological data from 1980 to 1997, we reviewed the historical ability to regulate both harvest and population size in Ontario, and assessed our ability to predict future population size. Under the selective harvest system, when more than 40% of hunters hold tags, kill can only be significantly increased by increasing hunter numbers and even below 40% tags, the most effective regulation of kill involves regulating both the number of tags and the number of hunters. The ability to regulate harvest may also be limited by hunter behaviour. Deer population size, as indicated by deer seen controlling for effort, was mainly regulated by density-dependence, with limited effects from summer and winter weather conditions. Harvest exhibited no effect on population size, except in a few, select areas where relatively large kills produced limited down-regulation. The best model created to predict changes in population, for management purposes, had poor predictive ability and barely outperformed randomly choosing a number. These results indicate an inability to regulate deer populations through a sport harvest. Kill, at historical levels, does not appear to regulate population density. Further, based on currently collected data, we are unable to make accurate predictions of future population size on which to base management decisions. We suggest a new management system, in recognition of the limited predictive and management ability, in which management actions are untaken only when estimated populations exceed broad limits.

description: Background: Inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) are a large group of rare single-gene disorders that are typically diagnosed early in life. There are important evidence gaps related to the comparative effectiveness of therapies for IMD, which are in part due to challenges in conducting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for rare diseases. Registry-based RCTs present a unique opportunity to address these challenges provided the registries implement standardized collection of outcomes that are important to patients and their caregivers and to clinical providers and healthcare systems. Currently there is no core outcome set (COS) for studies evaluating interventions for paediatric IMD. This protocol outlines a study that will establish COS for each of two relatively common IMD in children, phenylketonuria (PKU) and medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency. Methods: This two-part study is registered with the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) initiative. Part 1 includes a rapid review and development of an evidence map to identify a comprehensive listing of outcomes reported in past studies of PKU and MCAD deficiency. The review follows established methods for knowledge synthesis, including a comprehensive search strategy, two stages of screening citations against inclusion/exclusion criteria by two reviewers working independently, and extraction of important data elements from eligible studies, including details of the outcomes collected and outcome measurement instruments. The review findings will inform part 2 of our study, a set of Delphi surveys to establish consensus on the highest priority outcomes for each condition. Healthcare providers, families of children with PKU or MCAD deficiency, and health system decision-makers will be invited to participate in two to three rounds of Delphi surveys. The design of the surveys will involve parents of children with IMD who are part of a family advisory forum. Discussion: This protocol is a crucial step in developing the capacity to launch RCTs with meaningful outcomes that address comparative effectiveness questions in the field of paediatric IMD. Such trials will contribute high-quality evidence to inform decision-making by patients and their family members, clinicians, and policy-makers.

Structure-function relationships of human apolipoprotein A-I: Role of the amino-terminal amphipathic alpha-helices.

description: To investigate the role(s) of the globular domain (residues 1-43) and the first class A helix (residues 44-65) of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) in the metabolism of high density lipoproteins (HDL), we have taken a combined in vitro and in vivo approach. This work demonstrates that both the globular domain and helix 1 of apoA-I are important for the maturation of HDL. Deletions of these domains were associated with progressive impairments in the ability of apoA-I to activate lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and form cholesterol ester rich HDL. While phospholipid binding was significantly reduced for both apoA-I mutants relative to wild-type apoA-I, cholesterol efflux was not affected by these deletions. We propose both the globular domain and helix 1 are critical LCAT activating domains of apoA-I and are required for the maturation of HDL in vivo.

description: CD-ROM dictionaries are dictionaries on a compact disk read-only medium, which basically contain the same information as their paper counterparts. During the last ten years, a significant number of CD-ROM dictionaries have appeared on the market. Given that the content of CD-ROM dictionaries is almost identical to that of paper dictionaries, in what way do they differ from their traditional counterparts? Do CD-ROM dictionaries offer any specific advantages over paper dictionaries for translators? This thesis will address these and other questions. Before establishing the strengths and weaknesses of CD-ROM dictionaries, we had to examine their main characteristics. We first established various criteria for evaluating the characteristics of ten CD-ROM dictionaries. These criteria, in tabular form, were used to evaluate the dictionaries in terms of user-friendliness, presentation, content, search capabilities, text management options, and technical environment. However, these tables say little about users' consultation and search habits. We therefore administered a test to twelve subjects in order to gather data on the use of three CD-ROM and three paper dictionaries. We also asked six of these subjects to fill out a questionnaire in order to obtain their feedback on both types of dictionaries. Using the tables and test results, we were able to draw a comparison between CD-ROM and paper dictionaries and determine their advantages and disadvantages. This study shows that CD-ROM dictionaries have definite advantages over their paper counterparts: flexible consultation, easy handling, speedy navigation, powerful and varied search capabilities, and useful text management options. Nevertheless, they have some considerable drawbacks, especially regarding technical aspects. In conclusion, it is safe to say that CD-ROM dictionaries have the potential to increase translators' productivity as long as translators know how to take full advantage of the dictionaries' capabilities.
