The device discovery in Bluetooth Scattenet Formation algorithms
Creators: name: Jedda, Ahmed
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: The Bluetooth Scatternet Formation (BSF) problem can be defined as the problem of forming wireless networks of Bluetooth devices in an efficient manner. A number of restrictions imposed by the Bluetooth specifications make the BSF problem challenging and unique. Many interesting solution algorithms have been proposed in the literature to solve this problem. In this thesis, we investigate the BSF problem. We concentrate on problems introduced by the procedures of device discovery of the Bluetooth specifications and on the different solutions used by BSF algorithms to deal with these problems. We study also in this thesis problems introduced by the specifications of link establishment in Bluetooth due to their close interaction with the device discovery specifications. We survey and categorize the different device discovery techniques used by BSF algorithms. This categorization is then used as a basis to identify the different theoretical computational models used to study BSF algorithms. We argue, in this thesis, that the currently available models for Bluetooth wireless networks do not model adequately, in most cases, the complexities of the Bluetooth specifications and we show that these models were oversimplified in many cases. A general computational model will be useful as a starting point to design BSF algorithms and to compare the different and numerous BSF algorithms - especially in term of the execution time efficiency. In this thesis, we provide a set of suggestions that will help in the creation of such model. We survey a number of studies that examined in more depth the specifications of device discovery in Bluetooth. We survey also other studies that attempted to simplify the Bluetooth network model, either by suggesting modifications on the Bluetooth specifications or by the use of communication technologies other than Bluetooth. Finally, we present some experiments accompanied with analyses to show the complexities of the Bluetooth specifications and their sensitivity to minor changes (whether in the specifications or in their implementation).
On the mobility of partially denatured DNA in gel electrophoresis: a theoretical investigation
Creators: name: Sean, David
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Physics, Solid State.

description: There are technologies which exploit a rapid reduction of the gel electrophoretic mobility of DNA arising from partial denaturation. The underlying phenomenon behind these experiments---the mechanisms which reduce the mobility---are not very well understood. Such is the purpose of my thesis. The first chapter provides a brief introduction to the field of polymer physics. The subjects covered are carefully chosen to directly relate to the forthcoming research. There is a published semi-empirical formula used to model the rapid decrease of mobility which is largely considered to be consistent with experimental data. The second chapter of this thesis demonstrates that there is a fundamental confusion in the literature regarding the fitting parameter Lr, in the said formula. By going back to the original derivation, a physical interpretation can be given to L r. This interpretation yields theoretical values which are consistent with what has been published. However, we find that an underlying assumption---that the effect of the denaturation does not depend on its position along the DNA fragment---may systematically overestimate experimental observations of Lr. To measure the impact of this assumption, a simulation model of DNA is presented. The article presented in the third chapter reveals that indeed, the position of the denatured region affects the migration of the DNA fragment. A refined version of the formula which takes these factors into account is proposed. The simulations also reveal that, for certain fields, an unexpected conformation completely dominates during migration of the fragment. This surprising result: a squid-like conformation, is explored in chapter four.
Workplace Pedagogic Practices: Understanding Learning Among Beginning Occupational Therapists

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Occupational Therapy.
subject: Education, Health.

description: It is a critical time in health care characterized by new models of service delivery, complexity of care, diverse practice environments, and evolving regulatory and legislative requirements. This is accompanied by recognition that the experiences and supports provided by workplaces are critical for initially developing the knowledge required for work and also for lifelong learning. In occupational therapy, there is relatively little understanding of how beginning occupational therapists learn to practice and how they resituate knowledge learned in the context of school, to the context of work. The objective of this research was to understand how beginning occupational therapy practitioners learn in the practice context, how clients mediate practitioners' learning, and the factors which shape practitioners' participation and learning through work. This qualitative study used an ethnographic approach to understand the situated practices, interactions and actions of occupational therapists in an acute care hospital context. Data collection consisted of semi-structured interviews, observations of practice, participant journal entries, researcher journal entries and meetings with the occupational therapy manager, over a period of twelve months. The study participants comprised five occupational therapists with less than two years of clinical experience. Activity theory provided an integrative, conceptual framework to understand how knowledge is co-constructed and distributed across a particular hospital system. The findings of this research help us understand how workplace affordances and constraints, and individuals' agency shape beginning occupational therapists' participation and learning through work. There are complex relations and interactions among the components of the activity system engaged in the object of patient care. A conceptual framework, the Workplace Learning Model for Occupational Therapy, was developed to understand how learning occurs in practice and the pedagogic means to support occupational therapists' engagement in work. The findings of this study contribute to the evidence in workplace learning and participation.
Approaches, designs and socio-cultural implications of post-disaster housing: lessons from Aceh tsunami reconstruction
Creators: name: Rahmayati, Yenny
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The number of small-medium disaster especially flood and cyclones has quadrupled in the last two decades while the number of massive geological disaster such as earthquake and tsunami remained approximately the same at around 20 a year. Over the same period, the number of people affected has increased from around 174 million to an average of over 250 million a year. Furthermore, data from UNESCAP (2015) shows that in the past 4 decades have seen a growing number of small to medium disasters which have resulted a total loss of over US$1.15 trillion. However this scale of disaster has received less attention from humanitarian agencies. At the same time the increasing number of natural disasters has increased the demand for humanitarian products, including shelter. There are many designs for emergency shelters but most are too technical and neglect the social aspects of the occupants, which makes post-disaster life more distressing for survivors. This paper explores the idea of the Humanitarian Village as an innovative design for responding small and medium-scale disasters, focusing on community-led design for better temporary pop-up shelter and village facilities for people escaping highly distressing scenarios. The paper not only proposes a technical solution for the design of emergency shelters but also investigates ways on how to manage small to medium sized disasters, particularly in the Asia Pacific region which has the highest number of total occurrences, fatalities and effects of natural disaster events.

description: Background: Preliminary evidence suggests osteoarthritis is a risk factor for cognitive decline. One potential reason is 87% of adults with osteoarthritis are inactive, and low moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and high sedentary behaviour are each risk factors for cognitive decline. Thus, we investigated whether a community-based intervention to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour could improve cognitive function among adults with osteoarthritis. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a six month, proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial of a community-based, technology-enabled counselling program to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour among adults with knee osteoarthritis. The Immediate Intervention (n = 30) received a Fitbit® Flex™ and four bi-weekly activity counselling sessions; the Delayed Intervention (n = 31) received the same intervention two months later. We assessed episodic memory and working memory using the National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery. Between-group differences (Immediate Intervention vs. Delayed Intervention) in cognitive performance were evaluated following the primary intervention (i.e., Baseline – 2 Months) using intention-to-treat. Results: The intervention did not significantly improve cognitive function; however, we estimated small average improvements in episodic memory for the Immediate Intervention vs. Delayed Intervention (estimated mean difference: 1.27; 95% CI [− 9.27, 11.81]; d = 0.10). Conclusion: This small study did not show that a short activity promotion intervention improved cognitive health among adults with osteoarthritis. However, the effects of increased moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and reduced sedentary behaviour are likely to be small and thus we recommend subsequent studies use larger sample sizes and measure changes in cognitive function over longer intervals.

Merging Elucidation’s dual-spiral structure—intertwining facts and context—with SpontaneityAI’s real-time feedback, it refines data through adaptive, helixed loops. Designed to deepen insight, Helix Feedback twists raw inputs (e.g., “Logins: 300”) with contextual queries (e.g., “Why crashing?”), adapting live to fuse truth (e.g., “Logins, errors—90%”). Conceptualized for Minerva’s Panoply, it offers a scalable, precise tool for artificial intelligence and scientific inquiry—projected at 90% clarity and 85% engagement—awaiting fresh data validation.

description: The regulations for backfilling of mining cavities and for landfilling contain concentration limits for the recovery of certain metals. The research project examined whether the applicable concentration limits could be reduced, whether further types of metal should be examined and limited, and whether the regulations should also be applied to the waste to be disposed of at landfills. The aim is to improve resource conservation by increasing the recovery of metals from waste, e.g. which would be irretrievably lost after the shift in mining cavities. Therefore the metal contents were investigated in quantity-relevant waste streams, their binding forms, suitable technical processing methods and the winning costs, in order to be able to evaluate in advance the effectiveness of possible limit value changes.

Scaling relations between the supermassive black hole mass and the host spheroid properties
Creators: name: Savorgnan, Giulia
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Supermassive black holes in local galaxies obey a surprisingly large number of scaling laws that involve the black hole mass and various properties of the host galaxy. These 'black hole mass scaling relations' reveal a strong symbiosis between galaxies and black holes, define important constraints about their co-evolution through the cosmic time, and set the boundary conditions for theoretical models and simulations of galaxy formation. This thesis presents updates and modifications to several black hole mass scaling relations, and discusses important implications for galaxy evolution models.

description: Hypertension is a common chronic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Early screening and diagnosis of hypertension plays a major role in its prevention and in the control of CVDs. Our study discusses the early screening of hypertension while using the morphological features of photoplethysmography (PPG). Numerous morphological features of PPG and its derivative waves were defined and extracted. Six types of feature selection methods were chosen to screen and evaluate these PPG morphological features. The optimal features were comprehensively analyzed in relation to the physiological processes of the cardiovascular circulatory system. Particularly, the intrinsic relation and physiological significance between the formation process of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and PPG morphology features were analyzed in depth. A variety of linear and nonlinear classification models were established for the comparison trials. The F1 scores for the normotension versus prehypertension, normotension and prehypertension versus hypertension, and normotension versus hypertension trials were 72.97%, 81.82%, and 92.31%, respectively. In summary, this study established a PPG characteristic analysis model and established the intrinsic relationship between SBP and PPG characteristics. Finally, the risk stratification of hypertension at different stages was examined and compared based on the optimal feature subset.

description: Neuroimaging investigations have identified the neural correlates of reappraisal in executive areas. These findings have been interpreted as evidence for recruitment of controlled processes, at the expense of automatic processes when responding to emotional stimuli. However, activation of semantic areas has also been reported. The aim of the present work was to address the issue of the importance of semantic areas in emotion regulation by comparing recruitment of executive and semantic neural substrates in studies investigating different reappraisal strategies. With this aim, we reviewed neuroimaging studies on reappraisal and we classified them in two main categories: reappraisal of stimuli (RS) and reappraisal via perspective taking (RPT). We applied a coordinate-based meta-analysis to summarize the results of fMRI studies on different reappraisal strategies. Our results showed that reappraisal, when considered regardless of the specific instruction used in the studies, involved both executive and semantic areas of the brain. When considering different reappraisal strategies separately, in contrast, we found areas associated with executive function to be prominently recruited by RS, even if also semantic areas were activated. Instead, in RPT the most important clusters of brain activity were found in parietal and temporal semantic areas, without significant clusters in executive areas. These results indicate that modulation of activity in semantic areas may constitute an important aspect of emotion regulation in reappraisal, suggesting that semantic processes may be more important to understand the mechanism of emotion regulation than previously thought.

Spreading time through space: An analysis of the conventionality of intra-frame simultaneity.
Creators: name: Feist, Richard.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: It is shown that the simultaneity of distant events is taken for granted by some major thinkers, most notably Leibniz and Newton, preceding Einstein. However, in 1905, the STR's examination, and subsequent reconstruction, of this assumption, engendered two types of simultaneity: intra-frame and inter-frame. The former is the focus of this investigation and deals with the simultaneity of distant, yet relatively stationary, events. The latter involves the simultaneity of distant, yet relatively moving, events. Einstein glossed over the former, briefly claiming that distant clocks are synchronized according to a definition. Reichenbach interpreted this as illustrating that the STR supports a conventionalist reading. The synchronization of distant clocks within the same inertial frame is only possible according to a convention. This is known as the conventionality of simultaneity, not to be confused with the relativity of simultaneity which deals with the setting of clocks in different inertial frames. Grunbaum follows Reichenbach's view and argues further that inter-frame relativity of simultaneity must be understood on the basis of intra-frame conventionality of simultaneity. It is argued that Grunbaum occupies a middle position between the two major approaches to the philosophy of space-time. Grunbaum's defence of the conventionality of simultaneity is the main concern of this investigation. Reichenbach's a priori, inter-theoretical conventionalism is clearly separated from Grunbaum's a posteriori, intra-theoretical conventionalism. This is done because the two thinkers are often misleadingly equated. They are linked simply because a particular argument, which connects conventionality and light signals, is shared. The moral of this chapter is not only that shared conclusions do not entail shared premises, but more importantly, shared arguments do not entail shared approaches. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Day surgery versus inpatient surgery: A cost comparison.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Health Care Management.

description: Day surgery is a rapidly growing alternative mode of treating patients. Instead of a two to three day stay in the hospital, the patient arrives the morning of surgery, is operated on and returns home the same evening. There are restrictions on the type of patient and type of procedure that can be done in day surgery. It also has been shown that day surgery is a much less costly method of treating patients, provided the patients and the procedure meet the day surgery requirements. This study was conducted at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta. It looked at six procedures that meet the day surgery requirements (Dilatation and Curettage, Laparoscopy, Non-Recurrent Inguinal Hernia, Breast Biopsy, Cataracts and Haemorrhoids) and the cost associated with each procedure both on an inpatient and day surgery basis. A sample of medical records for each procedure was examined and information concerning Nursing, Supply, Drug and Test costs, as well as, length of stay was extracted. Hotel service costs were obtained from various departments and the remaining costs, including Administration and Plant, were obtained from the Hospital's annual return to the government. The costs were added up to give a procedure cost for each procedure on an inpatient and day surgery basis. Then using data derived from the medical records, including age and complications, an eligibility rate (the percentage of patients eligible for day surgery) was derived. This was multiplied by the total number of that particular procedure performed in 1980 and was then multiplied by the procedure cost. The final result was the savings that would have possible if a greater percentage of procedures had on a day surgery basis. The results show that significant savings can be expected by substituting day for inpatient surgery, providing a number of inpatient beds are closed to correspond with the increase in day surgery.

description: Background: Children of mentally ill parents have a three to seven times higher risk of developing mental disorders compared to the general population. For this high-risk group, specialized prevention and intervention programs have already been developed. However, there has been insufficient sytematic evaluation to date. Moreover, effectiveness and the cost-effectiveness data of the respective programs until today is very scarce and at the same time constitutes the pre-condition for the program's implementation into regular health care. Methods: The study consists of a two-group randomized controlled multicenter trial conducted at seven study sites throughout Germany and Switzerland. Participants are families with mentally ill parents and their children aged from 3 to 19 years. The intervention comprises 6 to 8 semi-structured sessions over a period of about 6 months. Topics discussed in the intervention include parental mental illness, coping, family relations and social support. Families in the control condition will receive treatment as usual. The children's mental health, assessed using the K-SADS-PL by blinded external raters will constitute the primary efficacy outcome. Further outcomes will be assessed from the parents' as well as from the children's perspectives. Participants are investigated at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months after baseline assessment. In addition to the assessment of various psychosocial outcomes, a comprehensive health-economic evaluation will be performed. Discussion: This paper describes the evaluation of a family-based intervention program for children of mentally ill parents (CHIMPs) in the regular health care system in Germany and Switzerland. A methodically sophisticated study design has been developed to reflect the complexity of the actual health care situation. This trial will contribute to the regular health care for the high-risk group of children of mentally ill parents.

description: Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy is FDA approved and has the CE mark for treatment of newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma. To our knowledge, to date TTFields therapy remains unstudied in glioblastoma patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) as a comorbidity. Here, we present a patient who was diagnosed with MS at the age of 34. Treatment included several corticoid pulse treatments and therapies with interferon beta-1a and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator fingolimod. At the age of 52 the patient was diagnosed with glioblastoma, after experiencing worsening headaches which could not be attributed to the MS condition. After subtotal resection and concomitant radiochemotherapy, the patient received temozolomide in combination with TTFields therapy. For two years, the tumor condition remained stable while the patient showed high adherence to TTFields therapy with low-grade skin reactions being the only therapy-related adverse events. After two years, the tumor recurred. The patient underwent re-resection and radiotherapy and restarted TTFields therapy together with chemotherapy and is currently still on this therapy regime. Although having not been studied systematically, the case presented here demonstrates that TTFields therapy may be considered for newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma patients with previously diagnosed multiple sclerosis.

Free will and determinisim theory and practice in psychology
Creators: name: Purdie, Keith Maxwell
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Free will/determinism continues as an issue of contention within psychology. As a metaphysical problem its resolution does not lie within the province of psychology as an empirical discipline. This project begins with the proposition that psychology needs a conceptual framework which will enable it better to grasp, manage, and control the issue. Of all the approaches available, the work of Immanuel Kant seems best able to fulfill these criteria. The implications and benefits of this approach were examined in relation to relevant aspects of psychological theory, research, and practice. An empirical study explored aspects of the freedom determinism issue in counselling practice. Scales were developed to measure beliefs in free will and determinism. Freedom and determinism items were found to load on separate factors. This suggests that a Kantian approach corresponds, in important respects, with the way people, without philosophical training, actually handle the issue. Other tools were developed to gauge attributions of responsibility made by psychologists to their clients, and the preferences of psychologists for therapeutic theories and techniques. A sample of 87 psychologists engaged in counselling were overwhelmingly libertarian in their personal beliefs and attributed high levels of responsibility to their clients. The present situation in which a predominantly deterministic theoretical and research discipline informs a generally libertarian counselling practice was deemed unsatisfactory. A Kantian approach would uphold the legitimacy and value of freedom and determinism in theory, research, and practice.

description: Habitat loss is widely acknowledged as the leading cause of extinctions and is occurring at an alarming rate and affecting biodiversity globally. I measured the rate of habitat loss using satellite-based land cover change data. First, I modelled the potential suitable habitat of the Marbled Murrelet on Vancouver Island using two techniques and compared those results to in-situ field measurements. Both modelling techniques predicted declines in suitable habitat between the years, although one technique was better at predicting suitable habitat. I also compared rates of habitat loss in areas of high species endangerment to those with lower endangerment over a 15-year period in three Canadian ecozones. In two ecozones, rates of habitat loss were higher in sites of high species at risk richness than those with low richness. These results underscore the importance of using remote sensing data as a monitoring tool critical habitat for species at risk in Canada.
