description: The haptic exploration of 2-D images is a challenging problem in computer haptics. Research on the topic has primarily been focused on the exploration of maps and curves. This thesis describes the design and implementation of a system for the haptic exploration of photographs. The system builds on various research directions related to assistive technology, computer haptics, and image segmentation. An object-level segmentation hierarchy is generated from the source photograph to be rendered haptically as a contour image at multiple levels-of-detail. A tool for the authoring of object-level hierarchies was developed, as well as an innovative type of user interaction by region selection for accurate and efficient image segmentation. According to an objective benchmark measuring how the new method compares with other interactive image segmentation algorithms shows that our region selection interaction is a viable alternative to marker-based interaction. The hierarchy authoring tool combined with precise algorithms for image segmentation can build contour images of the quality necessary for the images to be understood by touch with our system. The system was evaluated with a user study of 24 sighted participants divided in different groups. The first part of the study had participants explore images using haptics and answer questions about them. The second part of the study asked the participants to identify images visually after haptic exploration. Results show that using a segmentation hierarchy supporting multiple levels-of-detail of the same image is beneficial to haptic exploration. As the system gains maturity, it is our goal to make it available to blind users.
Entrepreneurship education at university: the plus-zone challenge
Creators: name: Hindle, Kevin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The paper discusses the contrast between what is being done and what ought to be done about entrepreneurship education at university level. Research from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor program demonstrates that entrepreneurship education is an issue of worldwide economic and social significance. It has major policy implications for every nation. The paper briefly discusses the network of entrepreneurship education and experiential learning of which the university is only one component – and not necessarily the most important. The strategic and organizational context of the movement towards more entrepreneurial universities is distinguished from the purely content issue of curriculum designed for aspiring entrepreneurial practitioners. An overview of actual curricula, worldwide, is contrasted with the normative entrepreneurship education framework posited by McMullan and Long (1987). Following consideration of the problems involved in measuring the success of entrepreneurship education programs, a broad, generic template for integrated program development is presented and compared with the approach usually employed in most MBA programs at university business schools. The hierarchical, functionalist approach, symbolized by a pyramid, is contrasted with a more fluid, organic and boundary-crossing approach, symbolized by a wheel. Its central hub is a ‘plus zone’ where lies the deepest challenge for development of entrepreneurship education in a university context.

Fitness Effects and Resistance Mechanisms of Beneficial Mutations in 'Pseudomonas aeruginosa'
Creators: name: Kubica, Barbara
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2012

description: Beneficial mutations are the fuel for adaptation but remain poorly studied. Extreme value theory has been used extensively as a model for understanding the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) among beneficial mutations prior to selection, however there is little empirical data available to test the most compelling predictions of the theory. This thesis aims to test the prediction that the DFE among beneficial mutations is a negative exponential, with many mutations of small effect and few of large effect. To do this, I collected a wide range of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants resistant to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin and measured their fitness in the absence of the drug. I reject the exponential as an adequate descriptor of the data and show that the DFE among beneficial mutations is better described as being located in the Weibull domain of attraction, which is characterised by having a right-hand bound on the magnitude of the largest fitness effects. I also sequenced a number of genes known to be targets of fluoroquinolone resistance to shed light on the range and number of genetic targets involved in resistance. I found a number of mutations, and often multiple mutations, in known genetic targets. Evidence suggests that mutations in regions of the genome not sequenced are also important in determining fitness under permissive conditions. Taken together, these results provide valuable insight into one of the most fundamental problems in evolution, the nature and fitness effects of beneficial mutations.
Dams Are Coming Down, but Not Always by Choice: The Geography of Texas Dams, Dam Failures, and Dam Removals

description: This study examines spatial and temporal trends in Texas dams, dam failures, and dam removals. Dams were examined from a state-wide perspective and within 10 major river basins that collectively account for over 80% of all dams in the state. The state-scale and basin-scale analysis revealed similar patterns of dam occurrence, however there was greater variation in the patterns observed in both the purpose of dams and the timing for when most of the storage was created in each basin. Climate factors, mainly precipitation, influenced dam location. Population was not directly measured in this study but was an obvious influence on the spatial distribution of dams and their functions. While new dams are being built in Texas to secure future water supplies, documented dam incidents/failures have occurred in 15 of the 23 major river basins in Texas, with 328 total instances occurring since 1900. As the number of newly constructed dams and dam failures continue to grow across the state, so should the number of planned dam removals. Between 1983 and 2016, 50 dams have been removed across the state. The purpose for the majority of removals was to eliminate liability concerns associated with aging dams. Future dam removals will likely continue to occur based on the number of older, smaller dams with potential liability concerns. As Texas’ dam infrastructure continues to age, dam removal is a practical management option for mitigating potential dam-related hazards and improving the connectivity and ecological function of the river systems. Key words: Dams, Texas, Dam Removal, Dam Failure

description: This paper examines the role that Indigenous people’s rights to land and resources pay in business and economic development in Canada and elsewhere. It does this in four parts. The first provides background information about the socioeconomic circumstances of Aboriginal1 people in Canada, and about their response and the response of the Canadian government to these circumstances. The second is a brief discussion of development theory. The third looks at the impact of a particular Aboriginal land claims settlement on the economic development activities of the Aboriginal people involved. The final section presents some concluding comments about the experience of Indigenous people in Canada and the relevance of this experience elsewhere in the world.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In land reclamation on marine clay formations, ground improvement works is often necessary to be carried out in order to negate future settlement under the projected dead and live loads. In the case of thick deposits of marine clay, it is necessary to accelerate the consolidation process. The use of prefabricated vertical drains with preloading option is the most widely-used ground improvement method for such cases. In such ground improvement projects in soft soil, the degree of improvement attained by the marine clay has to be ascertained to confirm whether the soil has achieved the required degree of consolidation to enable surcharge removal. This analysis can be carried out by means of observational methods for which continuous records of ground behavior can be monitored from the date of instrument installation. Field instruments are used to verify the performance of the soil improvement works and to ensure that the specified degree of consolidation due to the sandfill and surcharge loading had been achieved prior to the removal of the surcharge. Field instruments installed, monitored and analyzed in such projects include settlement plates, deep settlement gauges, earth pressure cells, pneumatic piezometers, electric piezometers and water-standpipes. The type of field instrumentations installed and their method of analysis is discussed in this paper. Field instrumentation readings obtained at a Case Study Area comprising a Vertical Drain Area (1.5m x 1.5m) and an adjacent Control Area (No Drain) in the land reclamation project is also discussed in this paper.
Food Image Processing for a Semi-Automatic Nutrient Intake Monitoring System

description: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, obesity has reached epidemic proportions, with over 1.5 billion adults suffering from overweight reported in 2008. As obesity and overweight are major risks to human health, obesity treatment has been the focus of a large number of recent studies. Obesity treatment requires constant monitoring of the patient’s diet. The smart technologies of today’s intelligent environment can be used for the development of appropriate monitoring systems for obesity treatment. In this thesis, we propose a smart system that takes advantage of smartphones to build a platform for monitoring the caloric intake of obesity patients. The patient uses the built-in camera of the smartphone to take a picture of any food that he/she wants to eat. The system then processes the images to detect the type of food and portion size, and uses the information to estimate the number of calories in the food choice. The use of gradient calculation and color rasterization to increase the capacity of the system to recognize the edges of the objects is applied inside the application to signalize the contours of each portion and perform the analysis. As part of our application, we use the thumb of the patient inside the picture as a measurement pattern, to perform the thumb recognition, a skin color algorithm is applied to locate the thumb and measure its size in pixels; the size extracted is then used to translate the food portions into real life size over the entire image. Finally with the portions separated and the computed sizes, a set of nutritional facts are applied in order to generate the amount of calories present in the picture.

description: Background: Compliance to anti-TB treatment is crucial in achieving cure and avoiding the emergence of drug resistance. Electronic health (eHealth) interventions are included in the strategy to end the global Tuberculosis (TB) epidemic by 2035. Evidences showed that mobile messaging systems could improve patient adherence to clinic appointment for diagnosis and treatment. This review aimed to assess the effect of mobile-phone messaging on anti-TB treatment success. Methods: All randomized controlled trial (RCT) and quasi-experimental studies done prior to August 26, 2019 were included in the review. Studies were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane and ScienceDirect databases including, grey and non-indexed literatures from Google and Google scholar. Quality of studies were independently assessed using Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool. A qualitative synthesis and quantitative pooled estimation were used to measure the effect of phone messaging on TB treatment success rate. PRISMA flow diagrams were used to summarize article selection process. Results: A total of 1237 articles were identified, with 14 meeting the eligibility criteria for qualitative synthesis. Eight studies with a total of 5680 TB patients (2733 in intervention and 2947 in control groups) were included in meta-analysis. The pooled effect of mobile-phone messaging revealed a small increase in treatment success compared to standard of care (RR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.06), with low heterogeneity (I2 = 7%, p < 0.0002). In the review, performance, detection and attrition biases were reported as major risk of biases. Conclusions: Mobile-phone messaging showed a modest effect in improving anti-TB treatment success; however, the quality of evidence was low. Further controlled studies are needed to increase the evidence-base on the role of mHealth interventions to improve TB care.

Robust Imputation Methods in the Presence of Influential Units in Surveys

Mean square error estimation

description: Item nonresponse is typically addressed by using single imputation techniques. When influential units are present in a sample, the classical imputed estimator of a population total is approximately unbiased provided that the first moment of the imputation model is correctly specified but may be very unstable. Thus, it is desirable to develop robust imputation methods that produce biased but more stable imputed estimators, that is an estimator whose mean square error is smaller than that of the corresponding non-robust imputed estimator. To achieve this, we propose using robust regression based on the Huber function with an adaptive tuning constant. In this thesis, we study three robust imputed estimators in the presence of influential units. We conduct a simulation study to compare the empirical performance of the proposed methods in terms of bias and relative efficiency for a wide range of distributions. Finally, we study the problem of mean square error estimation using both first-order Taylor procedures and bootstrap.

Detecting Data Races in Binaries Using Software Static Analysis
Creators: name: Laurin, Maxime
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa
Year: 2024
Subjects: Data Race

description: In our modern computer systems, more and more programs are using concurrency to improve performance. These programs are vulnerable to unique concurrency issues such as when multiple threads fail to synchronize access. Because these mistakes depend on specific thread timings and are therefore difficult to identify, we present in this thesis a novel static analyzer to detect data races in binary programs. To help in the identification of data races, we choose to build a program analysis tool. Our analyzer uses a lockset-based analysis inspired by the static analysis RacerX by Engler and Ashcraft. The Racerx analyzer requires source code and most of the tools currently used to detect data races require dynamic instrumentation. We propose in this thesis a new static data race detector with new binary analysis techniques that can successfully identify possible data races in programs without the need for the source code. Our thesis describes the design of our binary analyzer built on the Ghidra reverse engineering framework. We also tested an implementation of our analyzer on a set of real-world data races previously found in the Linux kernel. Finally, we explore areas where this research can be expanded such as in automated security testing or coupled with surgical dynamic instrumentation.

description: The aim of this study was to explore psychotherapists‘ practice of mindful acceptance. I employed the hermeneutic phenomenological approach with the intention of creating thick descriptions of how mindful acceptance is performed in therapy sessions with clients by psychotherapists with backgrounds in mindfulness. The findings for this study came from a variety of sources including, pre-interview questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, field notes, and feedback from member checks with participants. The results pointed to four themes: 1) recognizing, 2) allowing, 3) befriending, and 4) accepting self and others. The participants‘ practice of mindful acceptance was facilitated by various psychological processes including 1) decentering, 2) exposure, 3) emotion regulation, 4) self-acceptance, and 5) compassion. In their descriptions of mindful acceptance, the participants were able to simultaneously demonstrate acceptance of their internal processes and acceptance of their clients. The participants‘ accounts suggest that intrapersonal and interpersonal processes of acceptance are one and the same and that, in effect, to accept ourselves is to accept others. This study, in a context-specific way, provides accounts of how acceptance of clients can be done. The results of this study have implications for future therapist training and as well as therapist self-care.

Für die Schätzung der YLD werden prävalente Fälle in strukturell unterschiedlichen Datenquellen identifiziert und Schweregraden zugeordnet. Eine wertvolle Quelle und Datenbasis zur Bestimmung des Präventionspotenzials von Erkrankungen bildet darüber hinaus die Attribution der Krankheitslast zu Risiken.

Year: 2024

description: One of the key issues confronting any academic wishing to develop or incorporate Indigenous knowledge or approaches to learning in the curriculum is ensuring that the work is done in a pedagogically and culturally sensitive way. For too long Indigenous inclusion in the curriculum has been ignored by academics as being irrelevant too difficult, and in research Indigenous experiences have been represented and misrepresented by ‘white experts’ and commentators. This paper describes how a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous academics from Swinburne University developed sets of criteria for Indigenous inclusion in the curriculum and how they subsequently extended these criteria to include use of Indigenous knowledge and documents in multimedia learning resources.

description: With respect to efficient use of diminishing or harder to reach energy resources, the catalysis of processes that will otherwise require high overpotentials is a very important application in today's world. As a newly developed class of materials, high-entropy sulfides (HESs) are promising electrocatalysts for a variety of different reactions. In this report, HESs containing five or six transition metals are synthesized in a one-step mechanochemical process. Seven HESs of Pnma (M:S≈1:1) and three Pa-3 (M:S = 1:2) structures are investigated as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The performances and properties of the HESs with different compositions and structures are compared with each other and with commercial IrO2 as reference material, in terms of OER overpotential, Tafel slope, electrochemically active surface area, ionic conductivity, and durability. The structural and chemical properties of these HESs are determined by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Most of the HESs show excellent and promising performance as OER electrocatalysts under alkaline conditions, and outperform the reference OER catalyst IrO2.

description: This thesis derives and validates a new computational electromagnetic formulation via the re-initialized numerical inverse of the Laplace transform (NILTn) for solutions of two-dimensional and three-dimensional time-domain electrical-field integral equations (TD-EFIE) via the Method of Moments (MoM). The TD solution is found with a high degree of temporal accuracy and ensuring mathematical stability (L-stable), while taking relatively large time-steps. As a bonus, this formulation can accurately determine the frequency-domain (FD) solution of the EFIE via a fast-Fourier-transform of the interpolated TD solution. The interpolated TD solution is found using the information available via the NILTn to interpolate the non-interpolated TD waveform with minimal computational cost. The use of the re-initialized NILTn to solve the TD-EFIE was inspired by its application in TD lumped circuit analysis. The results are proven via various 2D and 3D examples and comparing both the TD and FD results to well-known computational electromagnetic methods.

description: Il contributo è stato segnalato dal Prof. Antonino Mantineo.Due diverse ed erronee visioni di studio si sono confrontate nell’analisi dei fenomeni mafiosi: quanti sostenevano lo stretto ancoraggio degli stessi alla simbologia religiosa sino a una piena identificazione tra detta simbologia e criminalità e quanti hanno colpevolmente deprezzato l’uno e l’altro profilo problematico. La multinazionalizzazione della delinquenza organizzata e la
contemporanea ramificazione degli studi e delle tendenze in materia religiosa possono fungere da elementi chiarificatori per ricostruire rapporti così intricati.

Neben politischen Rahmenbedingungen sind hier soziale Routinen, Handlungsmuster und Konsumstile bedeutsam, da sie einen erheblichen Einfluss auf den individuellen und gesamtgesellschaftlichen Ressourcenbedarf besitzen. Die vorliegende Trendanalyse untersucht daher systematisch, wie sich sozio - ökonomische und sozio - kulturelle Trends auf die Inanspruchnahme von Ressourcen auswirken können. Die Ergebnisse dieser Trendanalyse legen nahe, dass es übergreifende und ganzheitliche Ansätze und seitens der Politik einen Policy Mix mit passgenauen Instrumenten zur Erreichung von Ressourcenschonung erfordert.

Practice review: social mix and disadvantaged communities: policy, practice, and the evidence base
Creators: name: Arthurson, Kathy

description: Over the next decades, hundreds of millions of dollars of public and private funds will be spent on regenerating disadvantaged Australian public housing neighbourhoods. If regeneration is not conducted well, as the Americans and British have often found, the exercise may have to be repeated in another decade or so, meaning a substantial waste of precious resources. Contemporary Australian urban regeneration policies, aimed at disadvantaged public housing neighbourhoods, are generally concerned with the issue of balancing social mix to create more socioeconomically diverse communities. The major strategy to achieve a more balanced social mix is through diversifying housing tenure, to lower concentrations of public housing and increase owner-occupied housing on estates. Two recent research articles in Urban Policy and Research are concerned with the outcomes of social mix strategies in contemporary Australian regeneration policy (Arthurson Vol. 20, No 3, 2002; Wood Vol. 21, No 1, 2003). The major issues raised by these articles consist of the problematic nature of the objectives set for tenure diversification and the gaps and ambiguities in the knowledge base for the benefits or otherwise of social mix (Arthurson 2002; Wood 2003). Taken together, the research articles demonstrate that there is insufficient linking between the underlying assumptions made for social mix in contemporary regeneration policy and the empirical evidence-base.

description: Ottawa’s Capital Slam poetry scene has transformed over the past decade, marking a shift in the identities, discourses and performance styles of local poets. This thesis investigates these changes and trends within the time periods of 2008-2010 and 2012- 2014. This thesis demonstrates the shift from male poets of colour in 2008-2010 to female voices in 2012-2014 at Capital Slam, through an examination of Ottawa’s history and a multimodal critical discourse analysis of online performances. In particular, the creation of local alternative poetry shows over the past five years has increased the representation of female poets and transformed the racial dynamics of the scene. During the period 2008-2010 and 2012-2014, poets used key historical elements of slam poetry such as storytelling and speaking through personal experiences to effectively demonstrate how marginalized individuals can speak counter-narratives to dominant culture. The use of storytelling allowed these poets to engage, connect and dialogue with the audience, as well as demonstrate their different identities, discourses and performance styles.
Peer Response to Opioid Overdoses in the Community: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

People who use drugs

description: Canada and many other countries are currently in the midst of a drug poisoning crisis, primarily driven by an increasingly toxic unregulated drug supply and the ongoing criminalization of people who use drugs (PWUD). Since 2016, over 44,000 PWUD have died from drug toxicity, representing 22 deaths each day in the first 9 months of 2023. Research to date has demonstrated that most drug overdoses occur in private residences (at home), and PWUD themselves are often burdened with the task of responding to these overdose events. To date, minimal research has been completed to understand the psychological trauma and burden of care associated with responding to drug overdoses in the community, outside of formal supports and services. In response to this, we sought to explore the experience of overdose response in the community through a qualitative study with PWUD using an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach. Our goals were to explore the psychological trauma and stress associated with responding to overdoses; understand the overdose response experiences of PWUD and peers in the community or at home and their gaps in support; explore the necessary changes that are required for PWUD to be supported in their overdose response; and inform the development of policies, laws, and resources to support and encourage peers given their crucial involvement in the drug poisoning crisis. To situate and guide this research within this understanding of trauma, Bonnie Burstow's radical trauma theory and her layers of trauma framework were employed. A total of 20 questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were completed with research participants in downtown Ottawa, Canada. From this data collection, major findings included 1) the invisible labour that PWUD regularly participate in, 2) the importance of citizenship amongst PWUD, 3) the trauma regularly experienced by research participants, 4) deficits and gaps in current services and supports for PWUD, and 5) the importance of evolution moving forward within the drug poisoning crisis. These findings help to expose the complex and intertwining forces (and resultant tension) which impact peer overdose response in the community and how this has reinforced the need for PWUD to insulate themselves from a constant barrage of violence and rejection. Further, future directions and recommendations from the research participants themselves contribute to understanding how to navigate the drug poisoning crisis moving forward.
