Creators: name: Do, Thi Hoang Yen
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines efficiency and productivity of Vietnamese financial securities firms during the period from 2015 to 2020. By using the bootstrap DEA technique, the thesis firstly provides the statistical insights into the productivity and efficiency measurement of securities companies in an emerging market context. Secondly, the findings yield important recommendations for monitoring and managing firms’ leverage and liquidity exposure to improve profitability and optimise efficiency performance for securities firms. The empirical results of efficiency and productivity analysis provide a fundamental base to construct policy recommendations which should improve the overall performance of securities firms, particularly in emerging markets.

New developments in the transmission line matrix and the finite element methods for numerical modeling of microwave and millimeter wave structures.
Creators: name: Eswarappa.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1990
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: New and efficient numerical modeling concepts and procedures based on Transmission Line Matrix and Finite Element methods have been developed for the analysis of generalized microwave and millimeter-wave structures. An algorithm, based on a vectorial Finite Element approach, has been developed to determine the dispersion characteristics, field distributions, pseudo-impedances and, losses of shielded transmission media of arbitrary cross-section. The structures analysed with this algorithm include dielectrically loaded ridged waveguides, bilateral finlines in rectangular and circular waveguide enclosures and ridged finlines. The major contributions to the literature are the estimation of losses of bilateral finlines in rectangular waveguide enclosures, the effect of substrate bending and mounting grooves on the dispersion characteristics, the study of finlines in circular waveguide enclosures, and, the analysis of a new modified finline structure called "Ridged Finline". New algorithms to apply the principles of Diakoptics to the TLM method for field partitioning in large structures have been developed. Diakoptics leads to considerable reduction in memory and CPU requirements for large structures since it allows numerical preprocessing of parts of a large electromagnetic structure which remain unchanged during an analysis and optimization procedure. A space interpolation technique based on the transverse field distribution of the propagation mode has been proposed for efficient field partitioning in single-mode structures. Frequency dispersive boundaries are represented in the time domain by their characteristic impulse response or numerical/discrete Green's function. This discrete Green's function has been named the "Johns matrix" in honour of the late P. B. Johns, pioneer of TLM and time domain Diakoptics. The parasitic reflections from the absorbing boundaries in 3-D structures, due to the finite space and time discretization have been reduced to less than one percent by exponentially tapering the impulse response, or Johns Matrix, of frequency dispersive boundaries. This allows wideband S--parameter extraction of waveguide discontinuities and components from a single impulsive TLM simulation. This tapered impulse response has been named the "Tapered Johns Matrix".

description: Background Our purpose was to analyze the long-term clinical outcome and to identify prognostic factors after Linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) on patients with brain metastases (BM) from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of survival on 90 patients who underwent SRS or FSRT of intracranial NSCLC metastases between 04/2004 and 05/2014 that had not undergone prior surgery or whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) for BM. Follow-up data was analyzed until May 2015. Potential prognostic factors were examined in univariable and multivariable analyses. The Golden Grading System (GGS), the disease-specific graded prognostic assessment (DS-GPA), the RADES II prognostic index as well as the NSCLC-specific index proposed by Rades et al. in 2013 (NSCLC-RADES) were calculated and their predictive values were tested in univariable analysis. Results The median follow-up time of the surviving patients was 14 months. The overall survival (OS) rate was 51 % after 6 months and 29.9 % after 12 months. Statistically significant factors of better OS after univariable analysis were lower International Union Against Cancer (UICC) stage at first diagnosis, histology of adenocarcinoma, prior surgery of the primary tumor and lower total BM volume. After multivariable analysis adenocarcinoma histology remained a significant factor; higher Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) and the presence of extracranial metastases (ECM) were also significant. The RADES II and the NSCLC-RADES indices were significant predictors of OS. However, the NSCLC-RADES failed to differentiate between intermediate- and low-risk patients. The DS-GPA and GGS were not statistically significant predictors of survival in univariable analysis. Conclusion The ideal prognostic index has not been defined yet. We believe that more specific indices will be developed in the future. Our results indicate that the histologic subtype of NSCLC could add to the prognostic value of specialized future indices. The RADES II index had the highest predictive value in the examined patient cohort.
A history of translation in Alberta.

Subjects: subject: History, Canadian.

description: Interwoven with the history of the political, economic and sociocultural development of Alberta is another history: that of communication between peoples of different languages and cultures. Translators and interpreters are the media through which such communication has taken place, and it is hard to imagine how the prairies, including Alberta, could have been settled and developed without these language specialists. It was not until the late 1970s, however, that the first steps were taken to organize translation and interpretation activities at a professional level. A centralized translation office was established to serve the departments and agencies of the provincial government, and a professional association, the Alberta Translators and Interpreters Association, was formed and accepted as a member of the Canadian Translators and Interpreters Council. Now, in the 1990s, as international exchanges multiply, and as Alberta enters a new phase of its political and economic history, particularly through its special relations with provinces in three Asian countries, it seems inevitable that an increasing number of people will come to realize the importance of professional translation and interpretation to the success of their endeavours.

description: The origin and impact of outflows on proto-planetary disks and planet formation are key open questions. DG Tau B, a Class I protostar with a structured disk and a striking rotating conical CO outflow, recently identified with ALMA as one of the best MHD disk wind candidate, is an ideal target for studying these phenomena. Our aim is to analyse the outflow components intermediate between the fast axial jet and the wider molecular CO outflow to discriminate between the different scenarios at their origin (irradiated/shocked disk wind or swept-up material). Using observations from JWST NIRSpec-IFU, NIRCam and SINFONI/VLT, we investigate the morphology, kinematics and excitation conditions of H$_2$ emission lines of the red-shifted outflow lobe. We find an onion-like structure of the outflows with increasing temperature, velocity and collimation towards the flow axis. The red-shifted H$_2$ emission reveals a narrow conical cavity nested inside the CO outflow and originating from the inner disk regions (< 6 au). The H$_2$ shell exhibits a constant vertical velocity ($\simeq$22 km/s), twice faster that of the CO flow and an average mass flux of $\dot{M}$(H$_2$) = 3e-11 M$_\odot$/yr significantly lower than the jet and CO values, suggesting low H$_2$ abundance. The global layered structure of the H$_2$/CO outflows is consistent with an MHD disk wind scenario, with the hot H$_2$ possibly tracing an inner dense photodissociation layer of the wind coming from a launching radius in the disk of 0.2-0.4 au. Further analysis, including MIRI observations will provide additional insights into the H$_2$ excitation mechanisms and the origin of the layered outflows observed in DG Tau B.

The Lived Experience of the Quantified Footballer: Understanding Digital Self-Tracking Among Women Australian Rules Footballers
Creators: name: Bowell, Paul Gerard
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis explores women Australian Rules footballers' experiences of using digital self-tracking to monitor their physical outputs as athletes. Elite women footballers and their fitness coaches from the Australian Football League Women's (AFLW) participated in a qualitative digital ethnography featuring interviews, surveys and video re-enactments. The thesis found that digital self-tracking is a messy and contested activity that reinscribed onto the footballers that they are gendered subjects to the game of Australian Rules. A player centred framework of practice was developed to empower the footballers and their clubs to engage with digital self-tracking productively, while alleviating the negative outcomes.

Social networks in space : understanding the daily behaviour of urban residents in Barrio Mena del Hierro, Quito, Ecuador.
Creators: name: Riaño, Yvonne.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Anthropology, Cultural.

description: The subject of this thesis is the daily patterns of social and spatial behaviour in the barrios of Quito, Ecuador. Latin American barrios are low-income settlements which emerge illegally in the periphery of the cities, without basic infrastructure, and which are built progressively through the self-help efforts of owner-residents. Barrios are in quantitative and qualitative terms the most important phenomenon of Latin American urbanization. Between 25-50% of the residents of the cities live in such settlements. The social organization of barrio residents is rich, complex and distinct from other urban groups such as high-income sectors, which traditionally aspire to a North American or European way of life. Despite the fact that barrio populations have specific patterns of daily, social and spatial behaviour, urban planning by municipal authorities in Latin America has been tailored towards the lifestyle of high-income groups. The city of Quito, a capita of one million inhabitants, is no exception to this pattern. It is evident from the literature and from my own professional experience--as an educator in the barrios and later as a municipal planner--that the prevalent planning orientation towards high-income groups is partly due to a lack of common language between social scientists and planners. It is, however, also due to a lack of knowledge by planners and geographers of how the urban culture of barrio groups works. Much research has been carried out to date in the barrios but it suffers from inadequate understanding of the spatial dimensions of daily social behaviour. The social geography of barrios is indeed poorly known. I argue here that the spatial analysis of daily social interaction is a crucial component in explaining the obvious differences in spatial behaviour between low-income and high-income groups and in communicating this understanding in a practical and tangible form to municipal planners. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to help fill this gap in knowledge through a geographical examination of daily patterns of social and spatial behaviour. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: The intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) in a ferromagnetic metal is completely determined by its band structure. Since the spin orientation direction is an important band-structure tuning parameter, it is highly desirable to study the anomalous Hall effect in a system with multiple spin reorientation transitions. We study a layered tetragonal room temperature ferromagnet SmMn2Ge2, which gives us the opportunity to measure magnetotransport properties where the long c-axis and the short a-axis can both be magnetically easy axes depending on the temperature range we choose. We show a moderately large fully intrinsic AHC up to room temperature when the crystal is magnetized along the c-axis. Interestingly, the AHC can be tuned to completely extrinsic with extremely large values when the crystal is magnetized along the a-axis, regardless of whether the a-axis is magnetically easy or hard axis. First-principles calculations show that nodal line states originate from Mn-d orbitals just below the Fermi energy (EF) in the electronic band structure when the spins are oriented along the c-axis. Intrinsic AHC originates from the Berry curvature effect of the gapped nodal lines in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. AHC almost disappears when the spins are aligned along the a-axis because the nodal line states shift above EF and become unoccupied. Since the AHC can be tuned from fully extrinsic to intrinsic even at 300 K, SmMn2Ge2 becomes a potential candidate for room-temperature spintronics applications.

Learning morpho-phonological alternations like French liaison : an artificial language learning study
Creators: name: Khalaji Pirbaluti, Zara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Morpho-phonological phenomena present challenges to learners because they interface with morpho-syntactic, semantic, and phonological grammar. A common difficulty encountered in these interface phenomena lies in navigating idiosyncrasies and exceptional cases. This thesis explores the nature of learning implications of morpho-phonological alternations, in particular focusing on the case study of patterns akin to French liaison. Liaison is a prevalent and complex phenomenon in French that occurs at word boundaries. I propose a theoretical account of the learnability of French liaison within the Optimality Theory framework which gives rise to predictions regarding various components and dimensions of learning. I evaluate these predictions in an experimental study with an artificial language learning paradigm that consists of a training phase and a testing phase with two-alternative-forced-choice tasks. The training phase has a between-subject design where learners experience different hypothesized learning trajectories. The aim of the experiment is to investigate the extent to which learners would face challenges in learning given that the artificial language includes idiosyncratic patterns. The results demonstrate that in a controlled experimental setting, adult learners do show partial differential learning outcomes depending on their learning trajectory in training. However, participants also show task-dependent performance: above-chance for noun phrase choices but near-chance for word segmentation with both novel and familiar nouns. These results, taken together, imply that one of the most challenging components of learning in patterns similar to liaison predominantly lies in mechanisms related to computing word boundaries and deriving representations.

description: Purpose To further elucidate retinal findings and retinal vessel changes in Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) patients by means of high resolution retinal imaging. Methods 28 eyes of fourteen CADASIL patients and an equal number of control subjects underwent confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO), spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) measurements, fluorescein and indocyanine angiography. Three vessel measurement techniques were applied: RNFL thickness, a semiautomatic software tool based on cSLO images and manual vessel outlining based on SD- OCT. Results Mean age of patients was 56.2±11.6 years. Arteriovenous nicking was present in 22 (78.6%) eyes and venous dilation in 24 (85.7%) eyes. Retinal volume and choroidal volume were 8.77±0.46 mm3 and 8.83±2.24 mm3. RNFL measurements showed a global increase of 105.2 µm (Control group: 98.4 µm; p = 0.015). Based on semi-automatic cSLO measurements, maximum diameters of arteries and veins were 102.5 µm (106.0 µm; p = 0.21) and 128.6 µm (124.4 µm; p = 0.27) respectively. Manual SD-OCT measurements revealed significantly increased mean arterial 138.7 µm (125.4 µm; p<0.001) and venous 160.0 µm (146.9; p = 0.003) outer diameters as well as mean arterial 27.4 µm (19.2 µm; p<0.001) and venous 18.3 µm (15.7 µm; p<0.001) wall thicknesses in CADASIL patients. Conclusions The findings reflect current knowledge on pathophysiologic changes in vessel morphology in CADASIL patients. SD-OCT may serve as a complementary tool to diagnose and follow-up patients suffering from cerebral small-vessel diseases.

description: Using monitoring data from apex predators for chemicals risk assessment can provide important information on bioaccumulating as well as biomagnifying chemicals in food webs. A survey among European institutions involved in chemical risk assessment on their experiences with apex predator data in chemical risk assessment revealed great interest in using such data. However, the respondents indicated that constraints were related to expected high costs, lack of standardisation and harmonised quality criteria for exposure assessment, data access, and regulatory acceptance/application. During the Life APEX project, we demonstrated that European sample collections (i.e. environmental specimen banks (ESBs), research collection (RCs), natural history museums (NHMs)) archive a large variety of biological samples that can be readily used for chemical analysis once appropriate quality assurance/control (QA/QC) measures have been developed and implemented. We therefore issued a second survey on sampling, processing and archiving procedures in European sample collections to derive key quality QA/QC criteria for chemical analysis. The survey revealed great differences in QA/QC measures between ESBs, NHMs and RCs. Whereas basic information such as sampling location, date and biometric data were mostly available across institutions, protocols to accompany the sampling strategy with respect to chemical analysis were only available for ESBs. For RCs, the applied QA/QC measures vary with the respective research question, whereas NHMs are generally less aware of e.g. chemical cross-contamination issues. Based on the survey we derived key indicators for assessing the quality of biota samples that can be easily implemented in online databases. Furthermore, we provide a QA/QC workflow not only for sampling and processing but also for the chemical analysis of biota samples. We focussed on comprehensive analytical techniques such as non-target screening and provided insights into subsequent storage of high-resolution chromatograms in online databases (i.e. digital sample freezing platform) to ultimately support chemicals risk assessment. © 2022 The Authors.

description: Modifying the chromatin structure and interacting with non-histone proteins, histone deacetylases (HDAC) are involved in vital cellular processes at different levels. We here specifically investigated the direct effects of HDAC5 in macrophage activation in response to bacterial or cytokine stimuli. Using murine and human macrophage cell lines, we studied the expression profile and the immunological function of HDAC5 at transcription and protein level in over-expression as well as RNA interference experiments. Toll-like receptor-mediated stimulation of murine RAW264.7 cells significantly reduced HDAC5 mRNA within 7 hrs but presented baseline levels after 24 hrs, a mechanism that was also found for Interferon-γ treatment. If treated with lipopolysaccharide, RAW264.7 cells transfected for over-expression only of full-length but not of mutant HDAC5, significantly elevated secretion of tumour necrosis factor α and of the monocyte chemotactic protein-1. These effects were accompanied by increased nuclear factor-κB activity. Accordingly, knock down of HDAC5-mRNA expression using specific siRNA significantly reduced the production of these cytokines in RAW264.7 or human U937 cells. Taken together, our results suggest a strong regulatory function of HDAC5 in the pro-inflammatory response of macrophages.

description: Globular clusters (GCs) can be considered discrete, long-lived, dynamical tracers that retain crucial information about the assembly history of their parent galaxy. In this paper, we present a new catalogue of GC velocities and colours for the lenticular galaxy NGC 1023, we study their kinematics and spatial distribution, in comparison with the underlying stellar kinematics and surface brightness profile, and we test a new method for studying GC properties. Specifically, we decompose the galaxy light into its spheroid (assumed to represent the bulge+halo components) and disc components and use it to assign to each GC a probability of belonging to one of the two components. Then we model the galaxy kinematics, assuming a disc and spheroidal component, using planetary nebulae and integrated stellar light. We use this kinematic model and the probability previously obtained from the photometry to recalculate for each GC its likelihood of being associated with the disc, the spheroid, or neither. We find that the reddest GCs are likely to be associated with the disc, as found for faint fuzzies in this same galaxy, suggesting that the disc of this S0 galaxy originated at z ‰ƒ 2. The majority of blue GCs are found likely to be associated with the spheroidal (hot) component. The method also allows us to identify objects that are unlikely to be in equilibrium with the system. In NGC 1023 some of the rejected GCs form a substructure in phase space that is connected with NGC 1023 companion galaxy.
Graph Neural Networks for Electric and Hydraulic Data Fusion to Enhance Short-term Forecasting of Pumped-storage Hydroelectricity

description: Pumped-storage hydropower plants (PSH) actively participate in grid power-frequency control and therefore often operate under dynamic conditions, which results in rapidly varying system states. Predicting these dynamically changing states is essential for comprehending the underlying sensor and machine conditions. This understanding aids in detecting anomalies and faults, ensuring the reliable operation of the connected power grid, and in identifying faulty and miscalibrated sensors. PSH are complex, highly interconnected systems encompassing electrical and hydraulic subsystems, each characterized by their respective underlying networks that can individually be represented as graphs. To take advantage of this relational inductive bias, graph neural networks (GNNs) have been separately applied to state forecasting tasks in the individual subsystems, but without considering their interdependencies. In PSH, however, these subsystems depend on the same control input, making their operations highly interdependent and interconnected. Consequently, hydraulic and electrical sensor data should be fused across PSH subsystems to improve state forecasting accuracy. This approach has not been explored in GNN literature yet because many available PSH graphs are limited to their respective subsystem boundaries, which makes the method unsuitable to be applied directly. In this work, we introduce the application of spectral-temporal graph neural networks, which leverage self-attention mechanisms to concurrently capture and learn meaningful subsystem interdependencies and the dynamic patterns observed in electric and hydraulic sensors. Our method effectively fuses data from the PSH's subsystems by operating on a unified, system-wide graph, learned directly from the data, This approach leads to demonstrably improved state forecasting performance and enhanced generalizability.

description: Progressive climate change holds the potential for increasing human health risks from waterborne infections and intoxications, e. g. through an increase in pathogen concentrations in water bodies, through the establishment of new pathogens or through possible changes in pathogen properties. This paper presents some examples of potential impacts of climate change in Germany. Non-cholera Vibrio occur naturally in seawater, but can proliferate significantly in shallow water at elevated temperatures. In the case of Legionella, climate change could lead to temporary or longer-term increased incidences of legionellosis due to the combination of warm and wet weather. Higher temperatures in piped cold water or lower temperatures in piped hot water may also create conditions conducive to higher Legionella concentrations. In nutrient- rich water bodies, increased concentrations of toxigenic cyanobacteria may occur as temperatures rise. Heavy rainfall following storms or prolonged periods of heat and drought can lead to increased levels of human pathogenic viruses being washed into water bodies. Rising temperatures also pose a potential threat to human health through pathogens causing mycoses and facultatively pathogenic micro-organisms: increased infection rates with non-tuberculous mycobacteria or fungi have been documented after extreme weather events.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Epidemiology.

description: Statement of problem. Bronchiolitis is a common childhood lower respiratory tract infection. Determining risk of developing severe disease is important. Methods. 312 children, aged ≤ 12 months, with bronchiolitis were prospectively enrolled over 5 months at 2 emergency departments. We assessed 22 standardized variables and clinical outcome. A decision rule predicting severe bronchiolitis (apnea, intubation, pediatric ICU admission, death) was derived using chi2 recursive partitioning techniques. Results. 8 children (2.6 %) developed severe bronchiolitis. Age, length of breastfeeding, heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure outside normal, respiratory exam score, oxygen saturation, and lung atelectasis were associated (p < 0.05) with severe bronchiolitis. Preliminary decision rule included (1) heart rate outside normal range and (2) oxygen saturation < 88%. Rule sensitivity was 100% (95% CI 68,100) and specificity was 93% (95% CI 90,96). Conclusion. Small sample size resulted in the rule's large CIs. Successful model development suggests a decision rule is feasible.
