description: We present an overview and the first results from a large-scale pulsar timing programme that is part of the UTMOST project at the refurbished Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Radio Telescope (MOST) near Canberra, Australia. We currently observe more than 400 mainly bright southern radio pulsars with up to daily cadences. For 205 (8 in binaries, 4 millisecond pulsars), we publish updated timing models, together with their flux densities, flux density variability, and pulse widths at 843 MHz, derived from observations spanning between 1.4 and 3 yr. In comparison with the ATNF pulsar catalogue, we improve the precision of the rotational and astrometric parameters for 123 pulsars, for 47 by at least an order of magnitude. The time spans between our measurements and those in the literature are up to 48 yr, which allow us to investigate their long-term spin-down history and to estimate proper motions for 60 pulsars, of which 24 are newly determined and most are major improvements. The results are consistent with interferometric measurements from the literature. A model with two Gaussian components centred at 139 and 463 km s(-1) fits the transverse velocity distribution best. The pulse duty cycle distributions at 50 and 10 per cent maximum are best described by lognormal distributions with medians of 2.3 and 4.4 per cent, respectively. We discuss two pulsars that exhibit spin-down rate changes and drifting subpulses. Finally, we describe the autonomous observing system and the dynamic scheduler that has increased the observing efficiency by a factor of 2-3 in comparison with static scheduling.

Cinema classics: five of the best science and technology films
Creators: name: Burke, Liam
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Cinema did not emerge from a eureka moment, but rather through the incremental innovations of pioneers such as the Lumiere brothers, Etienne-Jules Marey and Thomas Edison. So it is unsurprising that filmmakers regularly return to science and technology for inspiration. For every The Social Network, however, there is a Hackers; likewise, rare accomplishments such as 2001: A Space Odyssey tend to be followed by a flurry of ill-advised imitators. Liam Burke looks at some of the greatest triumphs of cinema’s fertile engagement with science and technology.

description: Objective: To assess the diagnostic and prognostic potential of serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) in children with first acquired demyelinating syndrome (ADS). Methods: We selected 129 children with first ADS including 19 children with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-antibody associated disease (MOGAD), 36 MOG/AQP4-seronegative ADS, and 74 with multiple sclerosis (MS) from the BIOMARKER study cohort. All children had a complete set of clinical, radiological, laboratory data and serum for NfL measurement using a highly sensitive digital ELISA (SIMOA). A control group of 35 children with non-inflammatory neurological diseases was included. sNfL levels were compared across patient groups according to clinical, laboratory, neuroradiological features and outcome after 2 years. Results: sNfL levels were significantly increased in MOGAD, seronegative ADS and MS compared to controls (p-value < 0.001), in particular in children with an acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)-like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pattern (p < 0.001) or longitudinally extensive myelitis (p < 0.01). In pediatric MS, elevated sNfL levels were significantly associated with higher numbers of cerebral (p < 0.001) and presence of spinal (p < 0.05) MRI lesions at baseline and predicted a higher number of relapses (p < 0.05). Conclusion: sNfL levels are significantly elevated in all three studied pediatric ADS subtypes indicating neuroaxonal injury. In pediatric MS high levels of sNfL are associated with risk factors for disease progression.

description: In Tanzania, the increasing population coupled with climate change amplifies issues of food insecurity and negatively impacts the livelihoods of smallholder farmer households. To address these issues a range of water conservation techniques (WCTs) have been useful. However, the adoption of these WCTs in Tanzania has been limited due to many reasons. With the objective to better understand and identify the factors that significantly influence the adoption of WCTs in Tanzania, the study uses survey data from 701 smallholder farmer households and a bivariate logistic regression, to provide, for the first time, a comprehensive model for the adoption of WCTs in Tanzania that includes a range of individual, household, socio-economic, and farmer perception related variables (factors). The evaluation shows that 120 farmers (17.12%) adopted WCTs and finds the farmer perceptions of rainfall instability, household wealth, and food security to be crucial. The results suggest that policy interventions should encourage conservation behavior (especially when the rainfall is perceived to be uncertain), emphasize the economic and food security-related benefits of adopting WCTs, include strategies that make adoption of WCTs attractive to female-led households, attempt to reach greater number of farmers via social networks and provide better access to public funds for farmers.
Investigating different models for cross-language information retrieval from automatic speech transcripts
Creators: name: Alzghool, Muath
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Speech information retrieval seeks to facilitate retrieving and accessing spoken content. Speech retrieval combines two techniques: automatic speech recognition (ASR) and information retrieval (IR). An ASR system is first used to transcribe digitized audio into text, and then a text retrieval system is used to retrieve speech segments, given a user request (information need). However, since ASR is an imperfect process, often there are spoken words that are not recognized correctly. This will lead to word mismatches in the retrieval. Early research considered spoken document retrieval for broadcast news as a "solved problem" [1]. However, the problem is still open for other types of speech like spontaneous conversational speech such as interviews, presentations, conferences, meetings, and lectures [2]. Unlike broadcast news (read speech), which has well-defined distinct document units that resembled written documents, spontaneous speech suffers from the lack of clear topic boundaries and poor acoustic conditions. The Cross-Language Speech Retrieval (CL-SR) track at Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) provides a collection of oral history interviews. This offers an excellent opportunity to study different speech retrieval techniques for spontaneous speech. The availability of open source IR systems make it possible for us to investigate different Information Retrieval techniques, which proved their effectiveness in the literature for text retrieval, but they were not tested for spontaneous speech retrieval. Moreover, we propose five novel data fusion techniques: the first one combines the results of different models with appropriate weights for each one; the second one uses a cluster-based fusion technique; the third one combines highly-varied retrieval results; the fourth fusion technique is based on a heuristic derivation of the weight for each retrieval strategy; and the last one is based on the probability theory. To deal with the word mismatch problem, we also propose two query expansion methods, one based on collocations, and the other one based on a domain-specific thesaurus. Our system achieved the best results in the CL-SR task at CLEF for two years 2005, and 2007, and it was the second-best system in 2006.
She's a store, she's so much more: Sportsgirl the brand and the social construction of young women in 1960s Australia
Creators: name: Carter, Nanette
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper explores the emergence of one of Australia's first youth fashion brands, beginning with the development of its original flagship store and its advertising in Melbourne newspapers in the 1960s. This analysis is in terms of how the brand was inserted within the national culture with regard to the social roles presented to young women and the broader social and economic changes of the period. It explores the way the Sportsgirl brand participated in constructing for young Australian women, their increasing identification as independent, adventurous and in charge of their own sexuality. In doing so, it seeks to draw attention to the ways in which the changing aspirations and values of young women were first incorporated by the proliferating post-war consumer culture. Primary sources and interviews are used here to investigate the origins and development of the strategic decisions and approaches to the building up of the boutique and the brand. The way the Bardas family business used design and advertising and positioned the first Sportsgirl store, are analysed in terms of how their strategies were informed by overseas developments in youth fashion retailing and how they introduced significant changes to the context of the existing local retail environment. Studies on birth control and women's workplace participation inform this paper's explanation of how young Australian women were increasingly educated, economically independent and taking advantage of access to contraception to delay motherhood in order to experience a brief period of relative independence. In addition, a survey of the representation of young women in newspapers of the period provided evidence of how newspapers participated in attempting to bring young women 'into line'. It has revealed how they were offered a very limited number of possible roles and encouraged to think of the period of their lives between girls at school under the control of their fathers until safely ensconced as mothers and wives under the control of their husbands, as dangerous. Sportsgirl, the boutique that became a major Australian fashion brand, challenged the established department stores using design and lifestyle marketing for the emerging youth market in the 1960s and led the Australian fashion industry to a more modern manufacturing and diversified marketing system. Sportsgirl's identity was established as a brand using interior design, visual merchandising, graphic design and advertising, in addition to the design of its textiles and clothing. This paper examines the emergence of the Collins Street store and newspaper advertising where Sportsgirl presented rapidly changing design 'looks' that linked its clothing lines into a supporting set of fantasy scenarios and exciting adventures that mirrored the aspirations of a new generation of young Australian women.

Apres avoir recense les personnages des romans, des pieces de theatre, des recits fantastiques, des recits autobiographiques et des autres textes de Tremblay, les personnages ont ete regroupes en deux sections: les personnages propres a l'auteur et les personnages referentiels qui connaissent une vie a l'exterieur de l'oeuvre de Tremblay. Le resultat: repartis dans 47 textes, 1 855 personnages qui apparaissent 2 600 fois. Un annuaire ou les textes sont presentes dans un ordre chronologique complete la partie $\ll$Dictionnaire$\gg$. Mais, il n'etait pas suffisant de compiler les donnees, il fallait aussi les analyser. Grace aux differentes parties du dictionnaire, une saisie de l'oeuvre a permis de determiner les regles de constitution de ces quelque 1 855 personnages, de mesurer l'homogeneite des differents types de personnages et, finalement, de reveler les aspects les plus $\ll$secrets$\gg$ de l'oeuvre.

description: It is of great significance to distinguish enantiomers due to their different, even completely opposite biological, physiological and pharmacological activities compared to those with different stereochemistry. A sp(3)-to-sp(2) converted highly stable and regenerative graphene/diamond electrode (G/D) was proposed as an enantiomer recognition platform after a simple beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) drop casting process. The proposed enantiomer recognition sensor has been successfully used for D and L-phenylalanine recognition. In addition, the G/D electrode can be simply regenerated by half-minute sonication due to the strong interfacial bonding between graphene and diamond. Therefore, the proposed G/D electrode showed significant potential as a reusable sensing platform for enantiomer recognition.
A role for Cdc37 in EGFRvIII biogenesis
Creators: name: Scales, Stephen
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: The mutant epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFRvIII, is associated with tumour aggressiveness and drug resistance in glioblastoma. Our lab has shown that the molecular chaperone Hsp90 interacts with nascent EGFRvIII, and that EGFRvIII expression and function is dependent upon Hsp90 activity. In tumours, Hsp90 is found exclusively in an active form, where it is bound to cochaperones. One of these cochaperones, Cdc37, was found in the Hsp90/nascent EGFRvIII complex. Cdc37's role is to recruit certain kinase proteins to Hsp90 for folding. Its ability to bind these kinases is thought to be dependent upon phosphorylation of serine 13 in its client-binding domain by the kinase CK2. Here I have shown that Cdc37 is a limiting factor in EGFRvIII maturation, and its absence or inactivity may limit recruitment to Hsp90 and result in degradation. Using mutant constructs designed to mimic non-phosphorylated and phosphorylated Cdc37, I evaluated the role of Cdc37 phosphorylation in the stability of nascent EGFRvIII. Expression of the phospho-mimetic Cdc37 construct raised protein levels of nascent and mature EGFRvIII, while the non-phosphorylatable Cdc37 S13A mutant could not. Approximately 100 times more of the phospho-mimetic construct bound to nascent EGFRvIII than did the non-phosphorylatable form, and this increased Cdc37 binding was associated with more Hsp90 binding as well. Treatment of cells with the selective CK2 inhibitor, TBB, lowered the amount of Cdc37 and Hsp90 bound to nascent EGFRvIII, and reduced EGFRvIII protein levels. Taken together, these data indicate a positive role for Cdc37 and CK2 in EGFRvIII biogenesis, and suggest that Cdc37 phosphorylation may be a key factor in the recruitment of client to the Hsp90 complex.

Energy Storage for a Greenhouse Gas Neutral Society: Demand and Long-Term Strategy
Creators: name: Nowakowski, Mark
name: Purr, Katja
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2015

description: Germany aims at total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions of 80-95% until 2050 compared to 1990. A new scenario study by the German Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt, UBA) shows that even the ambitious 95% path is viable from a technical point of view. In a first step, it could be shown that a power supply for Germany based entirely on renewable energy sources (RES) is technically and ecologically feasible by 2050. Three radically different scenarios were developed which demonstrated that there are viable paths towards such a target. On the way to a GHG neutral society, however, considering all relevant GHG emitting sectors becomes indispensable. UBA has therefore developed a scenario for a GHG neutral Germany with emissions reductions of up to 95 % versus 1990. It becomes obvious that along with the electricity sector, particularly the heat and transport sectors must become completely CO2 neutral, as well, while others such as agriculture and certain industrial processes cannot eliminate all emissions. Whereas in Germanys current energy system storage is not yet an economic option to enhance flexibility, the demand for energy storage grows rapidly in the studied scenario. Herein, the major technology is the conversion of electric power into hydrogen, methane (Power to Gas), and liquid fuels (Power to Liquid). This allows for easy storage within the existing natural gas system plus beneficial coupling of the different sectors. The stored methane is a versatile material which can be either reconverted into electricity on demand or used as fuel for both heating and transport or as a basis for further chemical processes. Hence, in the long run PtG and PtL could be a core element of the whole energy market in a GHG neutral society.Quelle: Nowakowski, Mark; Purr, Katja:Energy Storage for a Greenhouse Gas Neutral Society: Demand and Long-Term Strategy [Elektronische Ressource] / Mark Nowakowski ; Katja Purr. - S. 1-7 : graph.

Comparing options for women seeking permanent contraception in high-resource countries: a protocol for a systematic review
Creators: name: Gormley, Rebecca

Year: 2019

description: Background: For women seeking permanent contraception, there are a variety of options available including surgical techniques such as tubal ligation or bilateral salpingectomy, in-clinic procedures such as hysteroscopic techniques using micro-inserts, or the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine contraceptive. Despite the various methods available for women who are seeking permanent contraception, there is not a review or decision-making tool that systematically brings together outcomes related to effectiveness, tolerability, adverse effects, non-contraceptive benefits, recovery, or accessibility: all of which are important for shared decision-making between patients and health care providers. Methods: We registered our protocol [on Prospero: CRD42016038254] following PRISMA guidelines. A search strategy was created in collaboration with a librarian, and three databases (EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science) will be searched along with secondary screening of relevant articles. A third reviewer will adjudicate any discrepancies. Data will be extracted independently according to population, intervention, comparison, outcomes (PICOS); length of follow-up; and funding. Articles will be assessed for bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the Cochrane Collaboration tool. If appropriate, a network meta-analysis will be conducted to rank and analyze each method according to each objective. If heterogeneity between studies is too high or it is not possible to conduct a network meta-analysis, a narrative analysis of the study results will be provided. Discussion: Clinicians and their patients seeking permanent contraception have several options, yet we were unable to find a systematic review or decision support tool helping to facilitate shared decision-making. This systematic review can inform patients, providers, and health policy decision-makers about which options of permanent contraception will meet different reproductive goals according to various outcomes, which can lead to better health, social, economic, and mental well-being for reproductive age women. This can also aid our understanding of resulting costs to the health care system. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42016038254
Réceptions française et québécoise de "Poèmes" d'Anne Hébert en 1960--1961
Creators: name: Mongeon, Pascale
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Literature, Canadian (French).

description: Dès sa parution en 1960, Poèmes d'Anne Hébert suscite une réception critique riche dans les champs littéraires français et québécois. Publie au Seuil à Paris, le recueil est d'emblée cautionné par la préface de Pierre Emmanuel, poète français de renom. Anne Hébert amorce alors sa quête de légitimité à titre de poète en France, alors qu'elle jouit déjà des premières marques de consécration au Québec. Selon le milieu ou il est accueilli, le recueil suscite des discours variés. Poèmes sera principalement lu en France comme un témoignage de ce que le "Canada poétique" peut apporter à la tradition française, de l'accent rafraîchissant d'une jeune auteure aux images exotiques et aux origines intrigantes. Pour les critiques québécois, le même recueil évoque plutôtt, à l'aube de la "Révolution tranquille", l'emblême de l'éveil national, de la prise de conscience d'une spécificité littéraire québécoise. Ce discours est juxtaposé à une lecture spirituelle encore manifesté chez les critiques de la génération précédente. Ainsi, nous assistons a l'émergence de discours parallèles autour de Poèmes. Les lectures du recueil sont modulées par l'horizon d'attente qui distingue les champs littéraires français et québécois. Elles sont également influencées par le capital symbolique d'Anne Hébert, qui détermine la valeur de sa signature dans chaque champ littéraire. À la lumière des concepts de H. R. Jauss et de Pierre Bourdieu, nous comptons analyser les divergences et les confluences qui se dégagent des réceptions française et québécoise de Poèmes en 1960--1961.

description: To describe the 5 years’ trajectories in functionality and pain of patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis and arthroplasty and analyze the association of these with long-term patients survival. Patients with OA receiving total hip or knee arthroplasty were recruited and completed two sets of standardized questionnaires for functionality and pain 6, 12, and 60 months postoperatively. Multivariate mixed models were conducted to assess trajectories over time and the resulting improvement per month during the last time period was included in a landmark-model to estimate adjusted hazard ratios for mortality. In total 809 patients with joint replacement were included (mean age 65.0 years, 62.2% female), 407 patients died (median follow-up 18.4 years). Both instruments of functionality and pain showed extensive improvement during the first 6 months. Baseline and change in functionality (both p < 0.001) and pain (p = 0.02) during the first 6 months were associated with mortality. Better values in functionality corresponded with improved survival whereas the association with the pain scores was inverse. In patients with hip and knee OA, an explicit improvement in function is seen within the first 6 months after arthroplasty. In addition, especially the functionality scores at baseline as well as their improvement showed an association with long-term patient survival.

description: Appendix 1 of the Uniform Code for Building Conservation (UCBC) presents a systematic procedure for the evaluation and seismic strengthening of unreinforced masonry (URM) bearing wall buildings having flexible diaphragms. However, even though this procedure is founded on extensive component testing, full scale testing of an entire 3-D building having wood diaphragms has not been conducted. Such a test would complement the computer simulations and small-scale shake table tests done by other researchers. For those reasons, a full-scale one-story unreinforced brick masonry specimen having a wood diaphragm was subjected to earthquake excitations using pseudo-dynamic testing. The specimen was designed to better understand the flexible-floor/rigid-wall interaction, the impact of wall continuity at the building corners and the effect of a relatively weak diaphragm on the expected seismic behavior. The unreinforced masonry walls of this building were also repaired with fiberglass materials and re-tested. The dynamic response of the shear walls with piers having a rocking and/or a sliding behavior is analyzed, as well as the response of the wood diaphragm and its interaction with the shear wails. These results are compared with predictions from existing seismic evaluation methodologies and demonstrate how fiberglass strips can be used to improve the rocking behavior. Furthermore, for masonry walls subjected to out-of-plane seismic forces, while it is required to anchor the wall at every floor as a minimum, questions arise as to whether it is also necessary to retrofit the walls between floors. Notably for the facade of many older (circa 1900) residential buildings in North America in which a single wythe exterior masonry wall was tied only with nails to the timber structure, leaving an irregular gap between the masonry and timber walls. To partly answer these questions, three specimens were extracted from an existing building, and were tested using a shake table, submitting them to multiple ground motions of progressively larger intensity until structural failure. Different retrofit methods to increase out-of-plane stiffness and strength were investigated, and various analytical procedures to explain the observed behavior are discussed.

description: This paper considers two-sided matching models with nontransferable utilities, with one side having homogeneous preferences over the other side. When one observes only one or several large matchings, despite the large number of agents involved, asymptotic inference is difficult because the observed matching involves the preferences of all the agents on both sides in a complex way, and creates a complicated form of cross-sectional dependence across observed matches. When we assume that the observed matching is a consequence of a stable matching mechanism with homogeneous preferences on one side, and the preferences are drawn from a parametric distribution conditional on observables, the large observed matching follows a parametric distribution. This paper shows in such a situation how the method of Monte Carlo inference can be a viable option. Being a finite sample inference method, it does not require independence or local dependence among the observations which are often used to obtain asymptotic validity. Results from a Monte Carlo simulation study are presented and discussed.
Effet de la trophie et de la taille du substrat sur le spectre de taille des invertébrés benthiques en ruisseaux.

description: Five different substrates (sand, fine gravel, coarse gravel, cobble and boulder) in nine streams forming a trophic gradient in the Ottawa Valley have been sampled in June 1992 to determine the effect of trophic level and substrate size on benthic communities. Total biomass of invertebrates (B, mg dry mass m$\sp{-2})$ and periphyton are strongly related to substrate particle size $(\Phi$, $-$Log$\sb2$diameter in mm) and trophy, represented by total phosphorus concentration (P, $\mu$g L$\sp{-1}).$ The model for periphyton biomass (Log$\sb $Peri = $-$0.08 $-$ 1.68Log$\sb $P + 1.08Log$\sb $P$\sp2\ -$0.13$\Phi\sp2)$ explains 67% of the observed variability and the model for invertebrate biomass (Log$\sb $B = 2.69 + 0.55Log$\sb $P + 0.3Log$\sb $Peri $-\ 0.01\Phi\sp2\ -$ 0.02Z) explains 68% of the observed variability (Peri = periphyton biomass in mgChla m$\sp{-2}$ and Z = depth in cm). The highest invertebrate biomass is observed on intermediate-size substrate (gravel) in phosphorus-rich streams. Periphyton biomass peaks on coarse substrates (boulder and cobbles) in streams where total phosphorus concentration is high $(>$50$\mu$gL$\sp{-1}).$ Individual body mass (W$\sb{\rm moy})$ is not affected by substrate size but is positively correlated with total phosphorus concentration (Log$\sb $W$\sb{\rm moy}$ = 1.67 $-$ 1.71Log$\sb $P + 0.96Log$\sb $P$\sp2,$ R$\sp2$ = 0.44). The effect of phosphorus and substrate on total biomass and mean individual body mass, are reflected in the size distribution of the invertebrates. Although the shape of the distribution is constant (unimodal), abundance of medium and large organisms increases in phosphorus-rich streams on intermediate-size substrates. A polynomial model including phosphorus concentration and substrate particle size is presented to quantify those variations of the size spectra. The predictions of this model are close to the observed values (R$\sp2$ = 0.89, residual mean square = 0.075) and this model could be very useful for a fast estimation of invertebrate size spectra.
Sea ice behaviour in creep/fracture regime: An experimental and theoretical study.

description: An experimental and theoretical study of sea ice behaviour is the subject of the research described in this thesis. In the laboratory, constant load experiments were performed on columnar-grained natural first year sea ice sampled in 1991 from Resolute Passage N.W.T. off Barrow strait/Lancaster Sound. Axial and lateral strains were measured, and acoustic emission data were recorded. Creep tests were carried out at ${-10}\sp\circ C,$ ${-20}\sp\circ C,$ and ${-30}\sp\circ C.$ Field tests were conducted at Resolute Bay in 1992. Two types of investigations were carried out in the field: (1) microstructural study of first year columnar grained sea ice as a function of depth, (2) borehole indentation tests on first year columnar grained sea ice with various boundary conditions. The microstructure of columnar-grained sea ice is rather complex because of the presence of the second (brine) and third (solid salt crystals) phases. A three dimensional constitutive model for the ductile behaviour of fresh water columnar grained ice was developed. The constitutive model is capable of describing the inherent anisotropy caused by the fabric, the grain size effect, the crack evolution, the effect of crack on viscous strain, and the deformation of the cracks. The model is used to predict the dependence of strength on the angle between the mean c-axis (axis of symmetry) and loading direction for oriented columnar-grained ice (classified as S3) and the anisotropic response of transversely isotropic columnar-grained (S2) ice. The model for fresh water ice was subsequently extended to sea ice to account for the effect of brine pockets on its mechanical behaviour. This constitutive model for sea ice is based on an assumed geometric pattern for the distribution of brine pockets in a single grain of sea ice. An initial defect tensor for a single grain of sea ice is defined based on the geometric pattern neglecting, for simplicity, the subgrain structures. Subsequently, the initial defect tensor for polycrystalline ice is obtained from the initial defect tensor for a single grain of sea ice and the probability distribution of c-axis. The effect of the initial defect on the response of sea ice to different types of loading is expressed by introducing two additional tensors. The constitutive equations for columnar grained sea ice are the same as those for fresh water columnar grained ice, except that an effective stress tensor is used in the sea ice constitutive equations to replace the stress tensor in the model for fresh water ice. In the last part, Sinha's creep model was generalized into 3-D and implemented into a finite element program. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Identification d'un probleme de depart. Le theme de l'autogestion ne semble plus etre actuellement au centre des grands debats politico-intellectuels comme conception alternative d'exercice et de redistribution du pouvoir politique et economique dans la societe. Pourquoi? Quel est le sens de cette aphasie? Objectif du projet. L'objectif general sera de mettre en lumiere l'evolution du discours autogestionnaire (theorique et politique) tel qu'il s'est defini en France a partir des annees 1960 jusqu'a aujourd'hui. Question generale. N'y a t-il pas dans l'evolution du discours autogestionnaire en France un basculement d'une reflexion portee a la question de l'economique et du social dans l'entreprise (democratie a la base, conseils ouvriers) vers une reflexion portant un interet au politique (democratie parlementaire, participation collective des formes contestatrices, multiplicite des groupes d'autonomies et mouvements sociaux)? Question principale. En quoi le discours autogestionnaire porte-t-il aujourd'hui une reflexion sur le politique qui est importante?
The semiotics of time travel: Studies in simulation and causality.

Subjects: subject: Literature, Classical.

description: The Semiotics of Time Travel: Studies in Simulation and Causality is a study of the philosophical/literary idea of simulation as defined mainly by Jean Baudrillard. The thesis, however, does not aim to be a commentary on Baudrillard. It uses his ideas as a starting point, and then proposes its own definition of simulation, with emphasis on temporality and causality. Specific cases of simulation are traced in Oedipus Rex, Macbeth, Italo Calvino's short stories, and Paul Auster's The New York Trilogy. In each case, a detailed literary analysis of the work is used to advance the theoretical argument. The approach is best described as interdisciplinary, covering a range of ideas in philosophy, semiotics, and literature. The strong unifying thread in all the chapters is a semiotic analysis of temporal paradoxes, as well as the underlying definition of temporal paradoxes as a subset of simulation, a connection whose various aspects are explored in the different chapters. The thesis also seeks to broaden the definition of simulation, making connections between simulation and other concepts, such as analytical statements (Hans Reichenbach), performative statements (Stanley Cavell), scientific observation (John Searle), narrative structure (Aristotle), and the nature of signs (Umberto Eco). The aim is a philosophical platform for the analysis of simulation as a tool for a semiotic analysis of temporal and causal paradoxes.
