description: Very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma radiation has already been detected from several supernova remnants (SNRs). These objects, which are well-studied in radio, optical and X-ray wavelengths, constitute one of the most intriguing source classes in VHE astronomy. H.E.S.S., an array of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in Namibia, has recorded an extensive dataset of VHE gamma-ray observations covering the central region of the Milky Way, both from pointed observations as well as from the Galactic Plane Survey conducted in the inner region of the Galaxy. From radio observations, several hundred SNRs are known in the Milky Way, but until now only few of them have been identified as VHE gamma-ray emitters. Using the H.E.S.S. dataset and a large ensemble of radio SNRs localized in the inner region of the Galaxy, the standard framework that links the origin of cosmic rays to the gamma-ray visibility of SNRs can now be tested. Here we present the ensemble of investigated SNRs and discuss constraints on the parameter space used within a theoretical model of hadronic VHE gamma-ray production.

description: Sheet metal parts processed by CNC turret punches are often grouped together onto single sheets of material, known as nests, in random combinations based on current demand. The content and configuration of each nest is highly variable, resulting in unique hole locations and quantities. A hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) is presented for the development of a robust turret layout given a set of parts with known tool requirements and flexible operation sequences. HGA population members are improved through an iterative local search heuristic that alternately considers part operation sequences and turret layout. Improved members replace their unimproved predecessors in the population. HGA solutions are tested for robustness using a modified form of the Layout Configuration Robustness Index (LCRI). The HGA solutions are shown to offer a statistically significant decrease in total turret rotation distance when compared to a population of randomly generated layouts.

description: Given a complex of groups over a finite simplicial complex in the sense of Haefliger, we give conditions under which it is possible to build an EZ-structure in the sense of Farrell-Lafont for its fundamental group out of such structures for its local groups. As an application, we prove a combination theorem that yields a procedure for getting hyperbolic groups as fundamental groups of simple complexes of hyperbolic groups. The construction provides a description of the Gromov boundary of such groups.

description: Oil sands tailings inventory is rapidly growing and current tailings treatment technologies are too costly or unable to handle the high solids content of the waste. The aim of the research documented here was to develop a new in-situ process for treating tailings that would cut costs by eliminating the need for tailings transport and re-deposition. The proof of concept of the new in-situ technology is given in this thesis. The process was able to increase the solids content of mature fine tailings by 2.7 times or (178 %). Furthermore, the process performed better than a treatment method that used the same solution chemistry as the new process, but in an ideal mixing environment. It was found that the performance of the in-situ method could be further improved by using carbon dioxide over air as mixing media. The process improves the consolidation and de-watering of mature fine tailings by two mechanisms. It chemically alters the tailings water to decrease the electronic double layer of clay fines and facilitates coagulation. Secondly, the vigorous bubbling of gas creates micro-fractures in the tailings deposit through which water flows to the surface. To optimize the design of the new process, a two-level factorial experiment was conducted to determine the treatment solution chemistry that produces the most strengthened tailings product.

subject: Moral Distress

description: According to Jameton (1985), “moral distress arises when one knows the right thing to do, but institutional constraints make it nearly impossible to pursue the right course of action” (as cited in Pendry, 2007, p.1). The issue of nurses and moral distress has been studied extensively; however, little attention has been paid to social workers’ experience of moral distress. The main objectives of this qualitative descriptive research were to explore whether ten health care social workers experienced moral distress and, if so, what were the causes and effects of such moral distress. The supports they use to deal with such distress were also explored. The participants voiced that they experience moral distress from a variety of sources and that the effects of such distress can result in exhaustion, apathy towards patients, and social workers leaving their positions. The results of this research are discussed and suggestions for further research and practice are presented.

description: Neuroimaging studies in participants at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis may provide evidence into the etiology of psychosis. Abnormalities in connectivity have been reported in schizophrenia but little is known about resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) prior to the onset of psychosis. The aim of this project was to identify functional neuroimaging markers for individuals at CHR. It was hypothesized that each network investigated, including the default mode, salience, executive control and dorsal attention network, would show aberrant connectivity in the CHR sample. Thirty-­one CHR participants who met Criteria of Prodromal Syndromes and 12 healthy controls (HC) were scanned using resting-­state fMRI. Seed‐based region-­of­‐interest correlation analysis was used to identify the default mode, salience, executive control, and dorsal attention networks. Compared to HC, people at CHR demonstrated aberrancies in all four resting state networks that were tested. Results indicated resting state networks have altered patterns of connectivity in people at CHR for psychosis, when compared to HC. Each network tested was differentially affected. Aberrancies in RSFC suggest that functional specialization is altered in individuals at CHR who, in turn, may have difficulty properly allocating attentional resources between internal and external stimuli, even prior to the onset of psychosis.

description: This thesis is a critical comparative study of the governance frameworks for resource revenues in the Ghanaian mineral and petroleum sectors. It examines the law and legal institutions of both sectors with regard to transparency and accountability in the management of resource rents. In particular it argues that the experiences of the petroleum sector governance regime can be used to reform the mining sector. The thesis further argues that the availability of legal mechanisms which ensure that citizens have timely and accurate information on the resources exploited and the utilization of rents is essential to good resource management. It concludes that while the petroleum sector may offer the mining sector ideas about how to reform its revenue governance system, if the reform is to be effective it needs to be carried out holistically, consistent with the mining context.

description: Various versions of provincial impaired driving legislation have been challenged in court as unconstitutional on the basis that they invade the field of criminal law. Such laws almost always withstand constitutional scrutiny because they are said to be administrative and predominantly about roadside safety. Because provincial impaired driving laws are labelled as administrative proceedings rather than criminal proceedings, people are receiving significant penalties without the benefit of protections contained in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This thesis explores the political and legal controversies over the application of the double aspect doctrine and the applicability of s. 11 of the Charter to provincial impaired driving legislation. With the support of the federal government, provincial governments are seeking more efficient and effective ways to address the dangerous threat of impaired driving, making Canadian impaired driving policy a prime example of cooperative federalism in action.
title: Bactericidal Effects of Cold Plasma Technology on Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus cereus Microorganisms
Creators: name: Morris, Angela Dawn
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma, also known as cold plasma, is a state of matter that consists of a mix of neutral and charged particles. Plasma generates chemically reactive species and ultraviolet radiation making them useful in decontamination applications (Kong & Laroussi, 2003). Research regarding the inactivation of gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus atrophaeus, by cold plasma has been studied by Laroussi et al. (2003); however, there is limited research regarding the germicidal effectiveness of cold plasma on the microorganisms Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus cereus. The purpose of this study was to determine if cold plasma technology inactivates heat resistant microorganisms, specifically, G. stearothermophilus and B. cereus vegetative cells and spores. Methods: The study consisted of 762 G. stearothermophilus and B. cereus samples exposed to cold plasma at various times and 219 control samples (N=981). Bacteria were inoculated and exposed to either indirect or direct cold plasma, incubated for 12 to 16 hours and number of colony forming units (CFU) determined. The percentage kill and log concentration reductions were computed utilizing the CFU and data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis and Tukey's tests at the .05 level. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the inactivation of G. stearothermophilus vegetative cells receiving indirect exposure (p=.0001) and direct exposure (p=.0013) and B. cereus vegetative cells and spores exposed to indirect and direct cold plasma (p=.0001 for both). Cold plasma exposure to G. stearothermophilus spores demonstrated no statistically significant difference in inactivation of microorganisms receiving indirect (p=.7208) and direct (p=.0835) exposure. Conclusion: Results indicate that indirect and direct cold plasma exposure significantly inactivated G. stearothermophilus vegetative cells and B. cereus vegetative cells and spores; however, G. stearothermophilus spores were not significantly inactivated; therefore, sterility was not achieved.

description: The current study examined the relationships between in-service and pre-service school psychologists’ knowledge of ADHD, ADHD stigma perceptions, and level of education and experience. Forty-five in-service school psychologists and 27 pre-service school psychologists completed online self-report measures. Results indicate that in-service school psychologists have significantly higher ADHD knowledge than pre-service; however, these groups did not differ in their ADHD stigma perceptions. Results also suggest that it is only ADHD-specific experience, and not knowledge of ADHD, years of experience, or education, that relate to ADHD stigma perceptions. These findings have implications for the training of school psychologists, as well as possible interventions for improving knowledge and perceptions of stigma in ADHD.

description: Uniqueness results are established for time-independent finite-energy electromagnetic fields which solve the nonlinear Maxwell--Born--Infeld equations in boundary-free space under the condition that either the charge or current density vanishes. In addition, it is also shown that the simpler Maxwell--Born equations admit at most a unique stationary finite-energy electromagnetic field solution, without the above condition. In these theories of electromagnetism, the following physical consequences emerge: source-free field solitons moving at speeds less than the vacuum speed of light $c$ do not exits; any purely electrostatic (resp. magnetostatic) field is the unique stationary electromagnetic field for the same current-density-free (resp. charge-density-free) sources. Our results put to rest some interesting speculations in the recent physics literature.

description: Objective: This study aimed to contribute to the understanding on inequalities in mental health in Canada by exploring whether or not immigrants have lower prevalence of past-year major depressive episode (MDE) than non-immigrants (i.e., the healthy immigrant effect HIE). Methods: Data were from ten cross-sectional Canadian population health surveys. Survey-specific log odd ratios were calculated, and then pooled using random effects meta-analytic techniques. Results: Evidence of the HIE on MDE was found; however, the HIE disappears with age. The pattern of the HIE by age was observed overall, and when the analysis was conducted by sex, country of birth, and time since immigration. Elder immigrants seem to be at similar or higher risk of MDE than elder Canadian-born. Conclusion: More research is needed to replicate this findings, and to understand why elder immigrants may be at higher risk of MDE than elder non-immigrants.

description: A scheme to squeeze the center-of-mass motional quadratures of a quantum mechanical oscillator below its standard quantum limit is proposed and analyzed theoretically. It relies on the dipole-dipole coupling between a magnetic dipole mounted on the tip of a cantilever to equally oriented dipoles located on a mesoscopic tuning fork. We also investigate the influence of several sources of noise on the achievable squeezing, including classical noise in the driving fork and the clamping noise in the oscillator. A detection of the state of the cantilever based on state transfer to a light field is considered. We investigate possible limitations of that scheme.

description: In this thesis, several factors that influence the stability of asphaltene and bitumen stabilized water-in-oil emulsions are investigated including salt type, salt concentration, pH, interfacial film properties, surface coverage, drop size, and emulsion packing. Model water-in-oil emulsions were prepared from aqueous phases consisting of reverse osmosis water and salts (NaCl, CaCl2, Na2SO4, KCl and Na2CO3). The organic phases consisted of either asphaltenes or bitumen dissolved in solutions of heptane and toluene. Salt contents as low as 0.02 wt% (or 0.03M ionic strength) were found to significantly increase the stability of the emulsions regardless of the type of salt present in the aqueous phase. The increase in stability correlated with an increase in the mass and apparent molecular weight of asphaltenes adsorbed at the interface. A mass surface coverage of 5 mg/m² and an apparent molecular weight of 7000 g/mol appear to be the threshold required for stable emulsions.

description: The Compact Neutron Spectrometer (CNS) is a Joint European Torus (JET) Enhancement Project, designed for fusion diagnostics in different plasma scenarios. The CNS is based on a liquid scintillator (BC501A) which allows good discrimination between neutron and gamma radiation. Neutron spectrometry with a BC501A spectrometer requires the use of a reliable, fully characterized detector. The determination of the response matrix was carried out at the Ion Accelerator Facility (PIAF) of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). This facility provides several monoenergetic beams (2.5, 8, 10, 12 and 14 MeV) and a 'white field'(Emax ~17 MeV), which allows for a full characterization of the spectrometer in the region of interest (from ~1.5 MeV to ~17 MeV. The energy of the incoming neutrons was determined by the time of flight method (TOF), with time resolution in the order of 1 ns. To check the response matrix, the measured pulse height spectra were unfolded with the code MAXED and the resulting energy distributions were compared with those obtained from TOF. The CNS project required modification of the PTB BC501A spectrometer design, to replace an analog data acquisition system (NIM modules) with a digital system developed by the 'Ente per le Nuove tecnologie, l'Energia e l'Ambiente' (ENEA). Results for the new digital system were evaluated using new software developed specifically for this project.

These two points invalidate the claims of [1].

Power, science and nature in the Great Bear Rainforest : an actor-network analysis of an integrated natural resource management project
Creators: name: Page, Justin Lawrence Roy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation explores the potential contribution of actor-network theory to the investigation of power and hierarchy, science and politics, and the relationship between nature and society in integrated natural resource management (INRM) projects. INRM consists of natural resource management approaches that seek to devolve power and authority from governments and experts to stakeholders, take account of people as part of ecosystems, and directly link conservation and development. While INRM projects represent an important evolution in resource management, they come with particular sets of problems. Specifically, (1) the devolution of decision-making authority to communities provokes issues of power and hierarchy as groups vie to ensure that their interests are adequately taken into account, (2) critiques of expert-led processes shift responsibility for knowledge production to stakeholder groups, thus raising questions about the relationship between science and politics, and (3) attempts to link ecology and economy require a difficult re-conceptualization of the link between nature and society. Actor-network theory (ANT) avoids presuppositions about power, science, nature, and society in order to study how they are produced as effects of networks, thus offering unique conceptual tools to study INRM as a complex, contingent, and innovative network-building process. A qualitative case study of the “Great Bear Rainforest” agreement on British Columbia’s west coast is undertaken to explore these issues in INRM. Analysis of interviews with 34 individuals from environmental organizations, forestry companies, First Nations, consultancies and local and provincial governments, as well as analysis of textual material, reveals how environmentalists (1) generated power by building a network of activists, bears, forest products customers and forestry companies, (2) simultaneously deployed science and politics in their network-building activities and (3) moved away from attempts to purify networks into “nature” and “society,” working instead to directly link ecosystem integrity and human well-being in a new, common “collective” of humans and nonhumans. The research provides significant detail and analysis of a particular case of INRM that will be of use to INRM practitioners, advocates and activists. Additionally, the research demonstrates the applicability of ANT to the investigation of power, science, and nature in INRM projects.

description: The main objectives of this research project are to analyze the challenges X-ray micro imaging has to determine interfacial properties, propose a solution to be able to implement X-rays in the determination of contact angle and interfacial tension and establish the reliability and practicality of microtomography in the determination of interfacial properties. An extensive set of experiments has been executed using a legacy cell to analyze the challenges previous work faced. A new and improved cell to use in a micro CT-scanner has been designed and constructed which gave us an easier manner to set up the experiments in the micro CT scanner. New experiments were conducted using a proposed solution to these challenges and the results obtained have accuracy and reliability. Finally, the determination of contact angle and interfacial tension was conducted in water-wet, neutral and oil-based substrate systems at standard conditions. The limitations given by the micro CT-scanner were in a great manner resolved. Even though the procedure is tedious and time consuming it is accurate and reliable. This makes microtomography attractive to be used in the determination of interfacial properties. Further experimentation is recommended in the development of this new method under different conditions, especially reservoir conditions.
Numerical study of mining activity and climate change impact on permafrost in Northern Canada

description: The presence of permafrost and its susceptibility to naturally freeze and thaw under changes in the environment is a major problem in cold regions encompassing nearly 50% of Canada land surface. The excavation of open pit mines in permafrost with subsequent filling with tailings and water presents a scenario similar to a thermokarst lake that causes a local drift from ground temperatures, thus resulting in talik formation. This thesis is concerned with the numerical analysis of permafrost degradation and its consequences within the permafrost zone due to mining activities and climate change. The Kiggavik uranium mine project in Nunavut, Canada where four open pit mines will be excavated into deep permafrost is chosen as a case study for which extensive data is publicly available. Incrementally complex hydro-thermal models were developed within the finite element framework. Short-term studies indicate that for different considered scenarios during the mine operation period drastic changes are not expected. Open taliks will not form in the smaller pits. Ground deformations due to high in-situ stresses and high ground water pressure will be less than 100 mm. The presence of faulted zones enhances the water inow into open excavations; however, the water level variation within the pits is less than 2 cm/day. The long-term simulations demonstrate that after 2000 years, with no-climate change scenario, the permafrost could only be recovered within the smallest pit. The permafrost thickness decreases to approximately 35m considering a probable climate change scenario. In the case of a severe scenario, the permafrost disappears completely in about 700 years, and the water table will rise to 35m below ground surface. The inuence of material hydraulic properties is examined with introduction of a new analytical method. Decreasing the fractures mean aperture in the rock domains accelerates permafrost thawing up to 100 years in some locations.

description: OBJECTIVES: First, we examined the associations of post-diagnosis physical activity and change in pre-diagnosis physical activity on quality of life (QoL) in prostate cancer survivors. Then, we identified post-prostate cancer diagnosis QoL trajectories over time in the population. METHODS: 830 prostate cancer survivors were derived from a prior case-control study where information at diagnosis was collected, then survivors were re-consented into a follow-up study. Three repeated measurements of physical activity and QoL were undertaken post-diagnosis. RESULTS: We observed improvements in physical QoL in prostate cancer survivors who maintained or adopted higher levels of physical activity pre- and post-diagnosis, according to the cancer prevention physical activity guidelines compared to those who were non-exercisers. In the trajectory analysis, three physical and three mental trajectory groups were identified. CONCLUSION: With additional research, these established trajectory groups may help healthcare professionals in improving treatment and follow-up for this population of prostate cancer survivors.

description: This research focuses on performance improvement of antenna array based GNSS receivers under interference with focus on code and carrier phase measurements. Despite the remarkable amount of research on antenna array processing in wireless communications, application of these techniques to GNSS has not been studied extensively. In the case of GNSS, apart from interference mitigation, it is important to generate good estimates of code and carrier phase measurements. Array based processing techniques induce measurement distortions in the presence of interference, which is not acceptable for high precision carrier phase based applications, an issue that is not relevant for communications. An extensive analysis of GNSS measurement and position quality is performed. In order to analyze performance in a controlled environment, a novel method of simulating multi-antenna GNSS signals is proposed, with simulation of different types of electronic interference and multipath. The simulator is tested for high fidelity applications and is used to characterize measurement distortions. The performance of different beamforming techniques is evaluated in specular multipath conditions using simulated and actual data. It is shown that significant reduction in multipath errors can be obtained using a practically realizable antenna array by using the receiver processing approaches suggested herein. Calibration is the first step towards implementing many distortionless beamforming techniques. Yet, calibration using actual signals is challenging in multipath environments. A method is proposed and tested to reduce calibration parameter estimation errors in multipath environments. Finally, array based receiver measurement and position distortions are evaluated under different electronic interference using simulated and actual data.

description: The purpose of this research was to investigate why patients in Qatar do not attend Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs. The Andersen Behavioral Model (ABM) guided the researcher’s thinking while completing this thesis. The target population were patients (n=850) who were referred to a CR program at the Heart Hospital from January 1 – August 30, 2015 and who did not attend the program. Telephone interviews were conducted to complete a demographic survey, health survey, and the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (Shanmugasegaram et al., 2012). A descriptive analysis was conducted on interviews completed by 46 patients using SPSS. Results found the principle reasons for not attending the CR program were work responsibilities (56.5%), time constraints (50%), already exercising at home (39.1%), distance to program (39.1%), travel time (32.6%), and not needing CR (32.6%). Results from this study can influence future research, education, and policy to better facilitate access to CR programs.

description: We study the interplay of superconducting and ferromagnetic correlations on charge transport in different geometries with a focus on both a quantum point contact as well as a quantum dot in the even and the odd state with and without spin-active scattering at the interface. In order to obtain a complete picture of the charge transport we calculate the full counting statistics in all cases and compare the results with experimental data. We show that spin-active scattering is an essential ingredient in the description of quantum point contacts. This holds also for quantum dots in an even charge state whereas it is strongly suppressed in a typical Kondo situation. We explain this feature by the strong asymmetry of the hybridisations with the quantum dot and show how Kondo peak splitting in a magnetic field can be used for spin filtering. For the quantum dot in the even state spin-active scattering allows for an explanation of the experimentally observed mini-gap feature.

description: The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to investigate whether using a pedagogical mathematical register, framed by systemic functional linguistics, to expose a 5th and 6th grade elementary students to the operational and the relational interpretations associated with the equals sign positively affects students’ understanding of these various interpretations. The pedagogical register used to detach the operational and the relational meanings of the equals sign was in a form of two semiotic bundles, which is a linguistic label (the process “equals” for the operational definition and the verbal group “is equal to” for the relational definition) selected based on Systemic Functional Linguistics and a gesture (a packing gesture for the operational definition and a balancing gesture for the relational definition) used simultaneously with its corresponding linguistic label. These two interpretations along with their semiotic bundles where introduced to the experimental groups in a presentation informed by variation theory. The study investigated the short-term and long-term effects of presenting the equals sign via semiotics bundles on students’ understanding of the different definitions of the equals sign as well as their ability to implement these different definitions. The assessment included a pretest and three post-tests. The first post-test was administered immediately after the presentation, the second, about two weeks after the presentation, and the final post-test was given to the experimental groups about six weeks after the second post-test. Using descriptive statistics, the results indicate that using a semiotic bundle can stimulate students to use different interpretations of the equals sign in the short term, but not in the long-term. The results also show that operational thinking was common in the control group while many students in the experimental groups employed relational interpretation of the equals sign to provide answers. In the long-term, operational thinking remained frequent in the control group. In the experimental groups, students continued to use the relational interpretation of the equals sign to find answers. However, the data obtained could not conclusively attribute the experimental groups’ use of the relational interpretation to the pedagogical register that was incorporated in the presentation on the equals sign two months prior.
