Leadership in Contemporary Canadian Podium Performance Sport: A Solution-Focused Process
Creators: name: Din, Cari Susanne Read
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Psychology--Industrial
subject: Olympic sport leadership
subject: high performance sport coaching
subject: leadership and performance

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to develop an in-depth understanding of leadership in the contemporary Canadian podium performance sport context. It includes a critical synthesis of theoretical frameworks from leadership research and presents a new integrated model for the study of contemporary sport leadership in the performance-driven context. The empirical work and leadership theories that inform the theoretical framework that guides this dissertation are reviewed. This discussion builds support for the heuristic value of the integrated research model of podium performance (Din & Paskevich, in press). Semi-structured interviews guided by this theoretical framework were conducted with 10 coaches and 13 athletes from Canadian individual and team winter sports who together achieved world championship and Olympic podium outcomes. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) (Bass & Avolio, 2004) was used to study individual coach behaviour and its impact through the prism of full range leadership (FRL) theory (Bass & Riggio, 2006). FRL includes transformational, transactional and passive leadership behaviours. Together, survey and interview data sources developed a mixed methods portrait of leadership in the performance-driven sport setting. Leadership was found to be a demanding, relational and solution-focused process in this study. The podium performance coaches in this study were perceived to be both transformational and constructive transactional leaders. Recommendations for stakeholders in the performance-driven sport community are presented. Future research in this unique leadership context based on findings from this study is proposed.

description: An exact method to compute the entire equilibrium reduced density matrix for systems characterized by a system-bath Hamiltonian is presented. The approach is based upon a stochastic unraveling of the influence functional that appears in the imaginary time path integral formalism of quantum statistical mechanics. This method is then applied to study the effects of thermal noise, static disorder, and temperature on the coherence length in excitonic systems. As representative examples of biased and unbiased systems, attention is focused on the well-characterized light harvesting complexes of FMO and LH2, respectively. Due to the bias, FMO is completely localized in the site basis at low temperatures, whereas LH2 is completely delocalized. In the latter, the presence of static disorder leads to a plateau in the coherence length at low temperature that becomes increasingly pronounced with increasing strength of the disorder. The introduction of noise, however, precludes this effect. In biased systems, it is shown that the environment may increase the coherence length, but only decrease that of unbiased systems. Finally it is emphasized that for typical values of the environmental parameters in light harvesting systems, the system and bath are entangled at equilibrium in the single excitation manifold. That is, the density matrix cannot be described as a product state as is often assumed, even at room temperature. The reduced density matrix of LH2 is shown to be in precise agreement with the steady state limit of previous exact quantum dynamics calculations.

description: We describe a new mechanism of tunneling between period-two vibrational states of a weakly nonlinear parametrically modulated oscillator. The tunneling results from resonant transitions induced by the fast oscillating terms conventionally disregarded in the rotating wave approximation (RWA). The tunneling amplitude displays resonant peaks as a function of the modulation frequency; near the maxima it is exponentially larger than the RWA tunneling amplitude.

The discipline of relics between canon law and the secular one ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to give an account of relics and in order to achieve it the paper examines three different perspectives. The first section charts the origin of the reliquary cult through an historical and systematic reconstruction, starting from the early Christianity until the 1917 Code of canon law. The second segment looks in more detail at the demanding objective to examine Church’s law in force on relics as well as relics worship. The normative to be analysed is contained in many different legislative sources, which have been object of little interest in terms of canonistic doctrine. The third and last section of this study points out the rising of the market of relics in our contemporary society. In particular, this point will be analysed through the eyes of the jurist who deals with religious matters, taking into account the complexity that links the canonical system to the national one, underlying the significant difficulties that the secular judiciary has to face when it comes to express themselves about subjects of “different order”.

description: Sepsis-induced ARDS is a significant source of ICU morbidity and mortality with no treatments beyond supportive care. Biomarker identification may help predict development of ARDS, differentiate mild ARDS from moderate/severe ARDS, identify treatment targets, and prognosticate patient outcomes. Metabolomics is a systems biology approach to examine metabolic processes and metabolites in response to physiological stimuli, such as disease. Serum samples from ventilated ICU patients with sepsis or septic shock and ventilated ICU control patients were collected and stored in CCEPTR, an ICU tissue bank. 36 mild ARDS and 36 moderate/severe ARDS patients were age- and sex-matched to 36 ICU controls. Untargeted GC-MS and NMR were performed on ICU day 1 serum samples and last day samples of recovered patients. MVDA was used to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarker candidates. We identified a candidate biopattern of sepsis-induced ARDS and predicted 28-day/hospital mortality of sepsis-induced ARDS using day 1 serum samples.

description: The density-functional theory (DFT) and density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT) are employed to study the pressure dependence of elastic and dynamical properties of zinc-blende ZnS and ZnSe. The calculated elastic constants and phonon spectra from 0 GPa to 15 GPa are compared with the available experimental data. Generally, our calculated values are overestimated with experimental data, but agree well with recent other theoretical values. The discrepancies with experimental data are due to the use of local density approximation (LDA) and the effect of temperature. In this work, in order to compare with experimental data, we calculated and discussed the pressure derivatives of elastic constants, the pressure dependence of dynamical effect charge, and mode Grüneisen parameter at Γ.

Consequences of Population Divergence in Threespine Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

description: Population divergence, changes in allele frequencies or mean phenotype between populations of the same species, is a key process generating biodiversity within and between lineages. Divergence reflects the aggregate effects of genetic drift, migration, mutation and/or selection. In this thesis, I characterized the origin, patterns and maintenance of genetic diversity in a putatively young radiation of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) near its northern range limit in and around Katmai National Park and Preserve and Aniakchak National Preserve, Alaska. Freshwater populations in this region are assumed to have evolved from marine ancestors after the last glacial recession. To characterize the population structure and colonization history of this radiation and evaluate the influences of gene flow, drift and selection on the genomic architecture of divergence I used >4000 genetic markers (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) throughout the whole genome for fish collected from 1 anadromous, 1 marine and 9 freshwater sites. Results suggest that marine/anadromous fish colonized the new freshwater environments, except for one lake population that appeared to be refugial. Subsequent to colonization, these populations diverged genetically, creating a hierarchical population structure that reflects their colonization history, rather than isolation by distance. Contemporary immigration estimates reveal moderate to low gene exchange between environments on the whole, and gene flow due to immigration has not had a predictable affect on the genomic architecture of divergence in these populations. Divergent selection on loci distributed throughout the genome is driving population differentiation. To determine whether phenotypic differences in body length at reproductive maturity between fish from two freshwater populations and an anadromous population is genetically based I used a common environment experiment. Despite differing genetic divergence (FST) between the two freshwater populations, they exhibit similar size divergence from the anadromous fish, indicating that this trait is genetically influenced. Parallel genetically-based divergence in a phenotype important for fitness suggests a contribution of natural selection in driving divergence between these populations. This thesis provides insight into how evolutionary processes are acting within the genome towards diversification, both specifically for stickleback and in a broader context for all species, and it also adds to a body of literature characterizing colonization of new environments and genetic basis of phenotypic traits.

description: To investigate the structure and composition of the dusty interstellar medium (ISM) of low surface brightness (LSB) disk galaxies, we have used multiwavelength photometry to construct spectral energy distributions for three low-mass, edge-on LSB galaxies. We use Monte Carlo radiation transfer codes that include the effects of transiently heated small grains and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules to model and interpret the data. We find that unlike the high surface brightness galaxies previously modeled, the dust disks appear to have scale heights equal to or exceeding their stellar scale heights. This result supports the findings of previous studies that low mass disk galaxies have dust scale heights comparable to their stellar scale heights and suggests that the cold ISM of low mass, LSB disk galaxies may be stable against fragmentation and gravitational collapse. This may help to explain the lack of observed dust lanes in edge-on LSB galaxies and their low current star formation rates.

The concept of friendship in William Godwin's early novels
Creators: name: Picken, Cassidy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: With the publication of the Enquiry Concerning Political Justice in 1793, William Godwin arrested the attention of the English reading public. His call for an anarchist politics rooted in individual reason and divorced from all forms of political institution, cooperation, and tradition reoriented the terms of political debate and had a powerful (if short lived) influence on contemporary radicals, poets, and artists. But Godwin’s strict intellectual commitment to individualism and private judgment has often obscured the importance of the concept of friendship in his writing. As opposed to marriage or other conventional forms of social relation, friendship figures in Political Justice as a bond of rational sincerity, which provides the social basis for the dissemination of truth and for the spread of progressive justice. The fundamental role of this concept in his ethical and political thought is pronounced in his first three published novels, Caleb Williams: or, Things as they Are; St. Leon: A Tale of the Sixteenth Century; and Fleetwood: The New Man of Feeling. This thesis explores the ways in which the narrative dimension of friendship in these novels brings to light certain tensions and paradoxes implicit in the conceptual structure of Political Justice. Against those critics who have read Godwin’s fiction as representing a turn away from his earlier political commitments, I argue that friendship continues to function in these texts as a crucial site of political communication and action. Godwin’s attention to the relationship between friendship and narrative furnishes his political thought with increasing temporal, economic, and anthropological complexity.

description: Analytical techniques have been developed for measuring the absolute isotopic composition of molybdenum reference materials using multiple collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. A correction for instrumental mass bias was performed using a molybdenum double-spike prepared from gravimetric mixtures of 92Mo and 98Mo isotope spikes. Careful assessments of laboratory procedures and data were performed to analyze possible impacts on the nal results. The absolute isotopic composition of the SCP Science - PlasmaCal molybdenum reference material was determined to be: 92Mo=14.626(17), 94Mo=9.182(5), 95Mo=15.869(5), 96Mo=16.67(3), 97Mo=9.585(3), 98Mo=24.308(14), and 100Mo=9.758(11). The atomic weight of molybdenum in PlasmaCal was calculated as Ar=95.9508(16). Delta values (reported as 98=85Mo relative to PlasmaCal) were determined for: NIST SRM-3134, +0.37(14)‰; Johnson-Matthey pure molybdenum rod, -0.32(14)‰; BCR-2, +0.28(14)‰; and SDO-1, +1.5(5)‰. The total natural variation of molybdenum of -1.5‰ to +3‰ results in a calculated atomic weight of Ar=[95.948, 95.956].

description: We describe a scheme with analytic result that allows to generate steady-state entanglement for two atoms over a dissipative bosonic medium. The resonant coupling between the mediating bosonic mode and cavity modes produces three collective atomic decay channels. This dissipative dynamics, together with the unitary process induced by classical microwave fields, drives the two atoms to the symmetric or asymmetric entangled steady state conditional upon the choice of the phases of the microwave fields. The effects on the steady-state entanglement of off-resonance mediating bosonic modes are analyzed. The entanglement can be obtained with high fidelity regardless of the initial state and there is a linear relation in the scaling of the fidelity with the cooperativity parameter. The fidelity is insensitive to the fluctuation of the Rabi frequencies of the classical driving fields.

description: We show the planned upgrade of a cavity QED experimental apparatus. The system consists of an optical cavity and an ensemble of ultracold $^{85}$Rb atoms coupled to its mode. We propose enhancements to both. First, we document the building process for a new cavity, with a planned finesse of $\sim$20000. We address problems of maintaining mirror integrity during mounting and improving vibration isolation. Second, we propose improvements to the cold atom source in order to achieve better optical pumping and control over the flux of atoms. We consider a 2-D optical molasses for atomic beam deflection, and show computer simulation results for evaluating the design. We also examine the possibility of all-optical atomic beam focusing, but find that it requires unreasonable experimental parameters.

description: A major barrier to the acceptance of small wind turbines is that they are perceived to be noisy particularly when mounted on monopole towers rather than traditional guy-wired ones. This research discusses an aspect of noise propagation that has not been studied previously: vibration and noise emission of the tower and consists of three main steps; first, vibration measurements from 24 accelerometers placed on the 10.2 m tower of a Skystream 2.4 kW wind turbine by which natural frequencies and corresponding deflection shapes were calculated. Second, the results from the survey were used to verify the predictions of a finite element model of the tower structure. And lastly, the verified model was placed in the air domains such that the structural vibration generates sound waves. Experiments showed that most of vibration energy is engaged in very low frequency band (10 Hz). It was found that wind itself can only excite first two bending modes. On the other hand, emitted noise from the tower at large distances can be neglected while close to the tower can reach to 30 dB.

subject: Thermodynamic modelling

description: Low efficiency and power generation are commonly associated with low-temperature geothermal power plants and reservoirs. As a result, among geothermal resources, low-temperature reservoirs are the least used for power production. It is wished to determine how addition of solar thermal energy to low-temperature, binary-cycle geothermal power plants affects overall energy and exergy efficiencies, as well as net power production. A computational tool for assessment of such power plants is developed, where thermodynamic, economic and environmental aspects are taken into account. Model tuning with field data, sensitivity, working fluids and case study analyses are carried out. Results show agreement between computational tool developed and field data. Direct implementation of solar thermal energy into geothermal power plants provides higher levels of net power output, although selection of working fluid plays a major role. Efficiencies, under geothermal-only conditions, are maintained the same or reduced with solar energy addition.

description: Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) is employed to study damped spin-wave excitations in the noncentrosymmetric heavy-fermion superconductor CePt3Si along the antiferromagnetic Brillouin-zone boundary in the low-temperature magnetically ordered state. Measurements along the (1/2 1/2 L) and (H H 1/2-H) reciprocal-space directions reveal deviations in the spin-wave dispersion from the previously reported model. Broad asymmetric shape of the peaks in energy signifies strong spin-wave damping by interactions with the particle-hole continuum. Their energy width exhibits no evident anomalies as a function of momentum along the (1/2 1/2 L) direction, which could be attributed to Fermi-surface nesting effects, implying the absence of pronounced commensurate nesting vectors at the magnetic zone boundary. In agreement with a previous study, we find no signatures of the superconducting transition in the magnetic excitation spectrum, such as a magnetic resonant mode or a superconducting spin gap, either at the magnetic ordering wavevector (0 0 1/2) or at the zone boundary. However, the low superconducting transition temperature in this material still leaves the possibility of such features being weak and therefore hidden below the incoherent background at energies ~0.1 meV, precluding their detection by INS.
Self–stabilizing Capsule Endoscope for Early Detection and Biopsy of Colonic Polyps

subject: Colon capsule endoscopy

description: Capsule endoscopy is a noninvasive method for examining the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and has been very successful in small intestine studies. Recent attempts have been made to utilize this procedure in effective colon screening. However, in the wider colonic lumen the small capsule tumbles, resulting in missed regions and the transmission of images with little clinical utility. In addition, the capsule does not have the capability to insufflate the lumen to provide a more complete visualization of collapsed colonic segments. These limitations in the current application of capsule endoscopy outline the need for a novel method that allows for effective capsule–based imaging of the colon. A self–stabilizing capsule endoscope (SCE) is a unique method that eliminates capsule tumbling in the colon, hence allowing systematic visualization. In this research, a prototype of an SCE enclosed in a colon targeting shell was proposed and tested. The SCE design consists of an inner capsule endoscope (CE) that has an expandable component attached to its trailing end. Upon arrival at the colon, the outer shell dissolves, activating the inner capsule and the expandable component which then grows to stabilize the implement. The SCE travels through the colon by peristalsis, capturing intraluminal images and transmitting them in real time to an external receiver, and is then excreted from the body. As a safety measure, the expandable component can be remotely separated from the capsule. Feasibility of the SCE has been demonstrated in laboratory and acute canine experiments. The self–stabilization technology vastly improves the image quality over commercial, non–stabilized CEs in the colon. In addition, SCE delivers a significant improvement in detection rates of simulated colonic lesions when compared to standard CEs. The SCE is an important contribution to the development of a reliable colon CE. Additionally, a novel biopsy module for the CE was proposed and tested. This module collects samples of tissue and luminal juices anywhere along the GI tract. It is a remotely operated device capable of taking a sample from any point around the 360˚ circumference of the capsule. The functionality and feasibility of the biopsy module for CE was verified in a silicon stomach model.
Effect of Clay Fraction on Thermal-hydro-mechanical Responses of Soft Mudrocks

subject: wellbore stability

description: Due to their low permeability, soft mudrocks often serve as geological seals for thermal recovery and nuclear waste disposal projects which are accompanied by thermal-hydro-mechanical (THM) coupled processes. The studies on the temperature, pore pressure, strain and stress developments in soft mudrock formations are the fundamentals of evaluating the risks such as wellbore collapse, casing failure and leakage through sealing rocks. Despite their importance, the variation in clay fraction and anisotropic nature of soft mudrocks has challenged the theoretical modeling and prediction of their THM responses. In this research, new approaches or models are proposed to investigate the effect of clay fraction on THM responses of soft mudrocks with emphasis on the micro-scale mechanisms. A cm-model is proposed to quantify structural states of soft mudrocks, which are dependent on clay fractions and porosities. Geomechanical properties and oriented fabric distributions are quantitatively related to structural states of soft mudrocks. Theoretical modelings on anisotropic hydraulic, static transversely isotropic (TI) elastic, and anisotropic thermal strain properties of soft mudrocks incorporating changes in the oriented fabric distribution are conducted. A modified Kozeny-Carman model is proposed to estimate the anisotropic permeability of soft mudrocks with different clay fractions. The directional tortuosity is directly linked to the fabric orientation distributions of soft mudrocks. For soft mudrocks with the similar mineralogy and porosity, logarithmic values of permeabilities decrease linearly with the increase of clay fraction. The static TI elastic properties of soft mudrocks are modeled using a differential effective-medium (DEM) approach. The elastic anisotropy is linked to the oriented fabric distribution by the Voigt approximation. A compositional thermal strain model is developed to interpret the anisotropic expansion or contraction behavior in soft mudrocks using cm-model. The compositional thermal strain model is validated by a series of experimental results. High clay fraction soft mudrocks are on the risk of having thermal contraction behavior which comes from clay dehydration or thermal plastic strain. Thermally induced tensile fracturing behavior in a high clay fraction soft mudrock is also investigated using analytical, experimental and numerical approaches. Above mentioned results are used in the comprehensive wellbore stability analysis of practical thermal recovery wells in Cold Lake area, Alberta.

description: We present results from the second part of our analysis of the extended mid-infrared (MIR) emission of the Great Observatories All-Sky LIRG Survey (GOALS) sample based on 5-14 micron low-resolution spectra obtained with the IRS on Spitzer. We calculate the fraction of extended emission as a function of wavelength for all galaxies in the sample, FEE_lambda, and spatially separate the MIR spectrum of galaxies into their nuclear and extended components. We find that the [NeII] emission line is as compact as the hot dust MIR continuum, while the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission is more extended. The 6.2 and 7.7 micron PAH emission is more compact than that of the 11.3 micron PAH, which is consistent with the formers being enhanced in a more ionized medium. The presence of an AGN or a powerful nuclear starburst increases the compactness of the hot dust MIR continuum, but has a negligible effect on the spatial extent of the PAH emission on kpc-scales. Globally, the spectra of the extended emission component are homogeneous for all galaxies in GOALS. This suggests that the physical properties of star formation taking place at distances farther than 1.5 kpc from the nuclei of (U)LIRGs are very similar, resembling local star-forming galaxies with L_IR < 10^11 Lsun, as well as star formation-dominated ULIRGs at z~2. In contrast, the MIR spectra of the nuclear component of local (U)LIRGs are very diverse. This implies that the observed variety of their integrated MIR properties arise, on average, only from the processes that are taking place in their cores.
