description: We present $^{12}$CO(1-0) observations of the interacting galaxy system Arp 94, which contains the Seyfert galaxies NGC 3227 and NGC 3226 as well as the star-forming candidate dwarf galaxy J1023+1952. We mapped the CO distribution in J1023+1952 with the IRAM 30m telescope and found molecular gas across the entire extent of the neutral hydrogen cloud -- an area of about 9 by 6 kpc. The region where star formation (SF) takes place is restricted to a much smaller ($\sim$ 1.5 by 3 kpc) region in the south where the narrow line width of the CO shows that the molecular gas is dynamically cold. Neither the molecular nor the total gas surface density in the SF region are significantly higher than in the rest of the object suggesting that an external trigger is causing the SF. The fact that CO is abundant and apparently a good tracer for the molecular gas in J1023+1952 indicates that its metallicity is relatively high and argues for a tidal origin of this object.

description: We show that pairs of atoms optically excited to the Rydberg states can strongly interact with each other via effective long-range dipole-dipole or van der Waals interactions mediated by their non-resonant coupling to a common microwave field mode of a superconducting coplanar waveguide cavity. These cavity mediated interactions can be employed to generate single photons and to realize in a scalable configuration a universal phase gate between pairs of single photon pulses propagating or stored in atomic ensembles in the regime of electromagnetically induced transparency.

description: Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is molecular structure specific, sensitive and ideal for multiplexed detection. This thesis presents the development of SERS based biosensing techniques for rapid, sensitive and high throughput detection of oligonucleotides and pathogenic bacteria and discusses the potential of tunable transition metal substrates for UV/ blue SERS application. The first part of this research describes the development of gold-based SERS beacons for multiplexed DNA sequence detection in a wash-free, separation-free and non-arrayed format. These beacons consist of a simple stem-loop oligonucleotide probe in its native form with one end attached to a SERS active dye molecule and the other to a gold nanoparticle, approximately 50 nm in diameter. When the target sequence is hybridized to the probe, which results in an open conformation, its respective reporter dye is separated from the gold nanoparticle, producing diminished SERS signal. The second part of the thesis introduces an immuno-microwell array based SERS assay platform for pathogenic bacteria detection which couples the quickness of the immuno-magnetic separation of bacteria with the multiplexed ability of SERS-detection. Specifically this part describes the fabrication and characterization of optical addressable immuno-magnetic beads (IMBs) for bacteria separation, immuno-microwell array based uniform and sensitive SERS substrates and the coupling between IMS and SERS detection. The potential for multiplexed detection is demonstrated by differentiable characteristic SERS bands of the corresponding Raman label of IMB mixtures. The third part of the thesis discusses the fabrication and characterization of tunable transition metal substrates. The surface plasmon bands of these substrates can be tuned from near UV through the whole visible spectral range, showing the potential for UV/ blue SERS applications.

Studies on phosphate and silane coatings on aluminum alloy
Creators: name: Fang, Jing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The work in this thesis involves studies of two chromium-free corrosion protection coatings on 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. In Part I, emphasis was put on finding new coating recipes for forming an effective phosphate coating, while in Part U a search was made for evidence for direct Si-O-Al bonding at a particular organosilane/metal interface. An initial review is made of the effects of changing parameters involved in forming a zinc phosphate coating layer by spraying. Various coatings were evaluated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and adhesion tests. The coating solution reported represents a modification of that previously used for coating the same system by the dipping method (J. Mat. Sci. 31 (1996) 565). For forming an adequate phosphate layer by spraying it was necessary to add the accelerators KCIO3 and NaNCh, and to spray for 1 min. at 85°C (instead of 5 min. at 75°C for dipping). The polishing pre-treatment of the substrate also has a significant effect on the phosphate process: the coating formed on a surface polished by 1200 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper showed good adhesion to paint, whereas that polished with 1200 grit silicon carbide sandpaper, under otherwise identical conditions, failed to form an adhesive phosphate coating. In general, conditions for spraying are less easy to control than for dipping, but directions are indicated for obtaining promising coatings by the former approach. The interface of y-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (y-GPS)/aluminum alloy was studied by the XPS bias potential technique and by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Consistently with earlier work in this laboratory, a chemical shift was observed in narrow scan A12p spectra from negatively biased samples, compared with those that were grounded (after correcting for the expected effect of the bias potential). The change in the electrical properties of the aluminum oxide was previously hypothesized to indicate the presence of direct Si-O-Al interfacial bonding to the y-GPS. In this thesis a further search was made to support this hypothesis by making static SBVIS investigations of this interface. Samples which showed the bias potential effect also showed radicals at mass 71 in SIMS. Such species appear interpretable as AlSiO+ and therefore are apparently indicative of direct Si-O-Al bonding at the interface.

description: Software modernization for business applications is often driven by the need for supporting additional
frontend channels such as web or mobile. At the same time, business logic encapsulated by
services and the underlying persistence implementation should be reused. In contrast to writing
new graphical user interfaces (GUI) utilizing the latest programming language or framework, we
propose a model-driven software engineering (MDSE) approach for specifying the new graphical
user interface. In addition, we utilize model-based reverse engineering (MBRE) to discover,
transform and integrate existing services and their data types. By providing support for modeling
an anti-corruption layer, existing services can be integrated into the new GUI model without
exposing potential design flaws from the legacy system. The model of legacy services and data
types combined with the newly modeled graphical user interfaces are processed by transformation
and generation processes to create source code for user interface, anti-corruption layer and
service calls. Thus, enabling efficient integration of existing services in new GUIs by model-based
reverse engineering and ensuring flexibility to quickly adapt new graphical user interface technologies
through model-driven engineering techniques in the future. First experience from real-world
projects indicates that the introduced approach enables faster creation of new graphical user interfaces by relying on production-proven services and data types.

description: The artwork I made for my thesis exhibition is a passionate inquiry into the audiovisual materials found inside the National Archives in Washington, DC. I traveled to USA as a Fulbright scholar from Colombia in 2008. My research in the US archives followed the trail of the word "Colombia" in the entries of the archive's database. By researching my home country from outside its borders, this project also investigates America as the observing subject that collects information about the world around it. In so doing, my work locates the differences and similarities between the observer and the researcher. The concepts of memory, forgetting, perception and the task of archivists are explored in the context of the pieces, video installations that uses subtle optical effects based upon reflections, spot lights and modified translucent video displays. These installations transport the viewer from a reenactment of the Colombian battle of independence to the Caribbean Sea in a Colombian vessel around 1982. The silent montage of these images creates a dialogue between some of the materials found in this archive and others collected in Colombia during the course of these inquiries.

description: Using the geodesic method and the perturbative approach, we study the deflection of light by time-periodic spherically symmetric gravitational fields. Assuming the weakness of the gravitational field, we derive general formulas that determine the deflection angle in the leading order approximation. The formulas are valid for both time-periodic and static metrics. Using these results, we calculate the deflection angle of a light ray passing through a spherically symmetric oscillating distribution of a self-gravitating scalar field with a logarithmic potential. It turned out that in this case the deflection angle does not depend on time in the leading order.

description: Lighthouses are an endearing symbol of our nation's nautical past. However, these structures are quickly disappearing from the landscape and with them often go their history and the important part that they played in the development of the United States. The stories of the men and women who cared for these structures during their times of use are also lost. This thesis examines the often overlooked role of the female lighthouse keeper. Female keepers were women who took on a traditionally masculine position. They held a government job and performed intense physical labor at a time when women were considered incapable of such jobs. This study examines the history of individual female lighthouse keepers and the contributions they made within the context of maritime history and public policy, as these issues related to American and British society over the last 200 years. It also considers the effects that governmental changes had on these women and what role they have played in popular culture both in the past and today.
MONTE CARLO SIMULATION OF ENHANCED LASER ABSORPTION IN TUMORS WITH GOLD NANORODS INCLUSIONS

description: Laser ablation is a widely used technology in medicine as a surgical tool for cutting and removing tissue. In cancer treatment via temperature elevations in tumor by laser energy absorption, the challenge is how to deliver laser to deep-seated tumors and how to confine laser energy to targeted region. Recently, laser photothermal therapy utilizing gold nanoshells or nanorods has attracted a lot of attention due to its ability of concentrating laser energy to tumor region with minimal collateral thermal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. In this thesis research, the focus is on the near infrared (NIR) laser propagation in tumor tissue and the resulted specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution in tumors enhanced by nanorod absorption of laser energy. We have developed a computational algorithm of Monte Carlo simulation of laser photon propagation in a two-layer spherical tumor, mimicking a tumor with an intratumoral nanorod injection at the tumor center. It has been found that the presence of nanorods in the tumor not only concentrates the majority of the laser, but also shifts the laser absorption towards the upper half of the tumor. Parametric studies are also performed to test the effects of radiation properties of the nanorod region on the resulted energy absorption distribution. It is confirmed that the absorption coefficient acts similarly as that suggested by the Beer's law, however, the scattering coefficient greatly enhances photon energy escaping from the upper boundary of the simulated domain. We conclude that the Monte Carlo method is a powerful tool to understand photon propagation in multi-layer tissue and it is supposed to be more accurate than the simple Beer's law even with an effective attenuation coefficient combining absorption and scattering coefficients. The computational algorithm can be used in the future to extract radiation properties of nanorod region, as well as to improve simulation accuracy in designing optimal treatment protocols in cancer treatment using laser photothermal therapy.

description: In the last decade, extended efforts have been poured into energy efficiency. Several energy consumption datasets were henceforth published, with each dataset varying in properties, uses and limitations. For instance, building energy consumption patterns are sourced from several sources, including ambient conditions, user occupancy, weather conditions and consumer preferences. Thus, a proper understanding of the available datasets will result in a strong basis for improving energy efficiency. Starting from the necessity of a comprehensive review of existing databases, this work is proposed to survey, study and visualize the numerical and methodological nature of building energy consumption datasets. A total of thirty-one databases are examined and compared in terms of several features, such as the geographical location, period of collection, number of monitored households, sampling rate of collected data, number of sub-metered appliances, extracted features and release date. Furthermore, data collection platforms and related modules for data transmission, data storage and privacy concerns used in different datasets are also analyzed and compared. Based on the analytical study, a novel dataset has been presented, namely Qatar university dataset, which is an annotated power consumption anomaly detection dataset. The latter will be very useful for testing and training anomaly detection algorithms, and hence reducing wasted energy. Moving forward, a set of recommendations is derived to improve datasets collection, such as the adoption of multi-modal data collection, smart Internet of things data collection, low-cost hardware platforms and privacy and security mechanisms. In addition, future directions to improve datasets exploitation and utilization are identified, including the use of novel machine learning solutions, innovative visualization tools and explainable recommender systems.

description: Questo articolo è una discussione critica sul caso studio del conflitto per l’acqua di Cochabamba nel
1999-2000. Il focus è sulla spazialità dell’opposizione popolare che spinse diverse organizzazioni
locali a unire le forze per opporsi alla privatizzazione, creando un movimento sociale chiamato "La
Coordinadora", composto da associazioni urbane e rurali. Questo movimento fu in grado di riunire
manifestanti di tutte le classi, età, occupazioni ed etnie; di creare un senso di "noi" e di
appartenenza tra la gente, nonché la percezione che la loro società fosse a rischio. E, attraverso
questa organizzazione, i/le manifestanti cercarono di prendere e fare spazio in un modo diverso
rispetto a quello dominante. L’articolo evidenzia come le relazioni sociali siano costruite
spazialmente e diano forma alle decisioni delle popolazioni locali, e come le relazioni spaziali siano
centrali nelle dinamiche dei movimenti come la Coordinadora. Si basa principalmente su fonti
secondarie, supportate da studi accademici che hanno indagato i dibattiti teorici sui movimenti
sociali e sul ruolo della spazialità nei conflitti sociali.

description: Regulating Identities ines the increasing complexity surrounding the regulation of female appearance in early modern England during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.  This study examines legislation, advice literature, sermons, wills and foreign travel accounts in order to determine for the first time how appearance regulation changed and conflicted throughout the time period, concluding that the regulation shifted from a legislative focus toward more prescriptive methods.  The regulatory anxieties surrounding dress, morality and social status were exacerbated by the turbulence of the English Reformation and a more mobile society, becoming increasingly contradictory as time wore on.  This thesis concludes that as the regulation of appearance became more complex and contradictory throughout the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, women were forced to choose which regulations to follow.  This ultimately allowed certain women latitude to choose the regulations that were the most beneficial, fashioning identities of agency for themselves and their families.

We present phenomenological results for the processes $lp\to lπX$ with longitudinally polarized leptons and protons. We discuss the impact of the perturbative resummation and of estimated non-perturbative contributions on the corresponding cross sections and their spin asymmetry. Our results should be relevant for ongoing studies in the COMPASS experiment at CERN, and for future experiments at the proposed eRHIC collider at BNL.

description: The spectral view of variability is a compelling and adaptable tool for understanding variability of the climate. In Mitchell (1976) seminal paper, it was used to express, on one graph with log scales, a very wide range of climate variations from millions of years to days. The spectral approach is particularly useful for suggesting causal links between forcing variability and climate response variability. However, a substantial degree of variability is intrinsic and the Earth system may respond to external forcing in a complex manner. There has been an enormous amount of work on understanding climate variability over the last decades. Hence in this paper, we address the question: Can we (after 40 years) update the Mitchell (1976) diagram and provide it with a better interpretation? By reviewing both the extended observations available for such a diagram and new methodological developments in the study of the interaction between internal and forced variability over a wide range of timescales, we give a positive answer to this question. In addition, we review alternative approaches to the spectral decomposition and pose some challenges for a more detailed quantification of climate variability.

Iranian Revolution

description: In the 1970s Iranian students in the United States were active in working to end the Shah's regime. This study looks at Iranian students' critiques and activism during the most lucrative years of the Iranian Revolution, between 1977 and 1979. During those years there were about 54,000 Iranian students in the United States, representing the largest foreign student populations. Due to government repression, organizations within Iran were unable to effectually organize. As a result, students abroad often politicized and coordinated together, creating an important form of opposition to the Shah. Through vocal demonstrations and publications, Iranian students were able to undermine the Shah's international legitimacy and support, while, at the same time, they set an example of civil disobedience to their friends and family members at home. This is a history of students in a quasi-political exile. As the United States represented freedoms and personal rights to Iranian students, it also represented a nation which had strongly supported its ally in the Middle East, the Shah. This study addresses how Iranian students read American policy, their criticism of it, and the role Iranian students played as a vanguard of protest in opposition against the Shah. Placing this group in larger contexts, this study also analyzes how the American mass media and the Alternative media viewed the Revolution and Iranian student activism within America and how Iranian student organizations reacted.

description: Forecasting with multivariate time series, which aims to predict future values given previous and current several univariate time series data, has been studied for decades, with one example being ARIMA. Because it is difficult to measure the extent to which noise is mixed with informative signals within rapidly fluctuating financial time series data, designing a good predictive model is not a simple task. Recently, many researchers have become interested in recurrent neural networks and attention-based neural networks, applying them in financial forecasting. There have been many attempts to utilize these methods for the capturing of long-term temporal dependencies and to select more important features in multivariate time series data in order to make accurate predictions. In this paper, we propose a new prediction framework based on deep neural networks and a trend filtering, which converts noisy time series data into a piecewise linear fashion. We reveal that the predictive performance of deep temporal neural networks improves when the training data is temporally processed by a trend filtering. To verify the effect of our framework, three deep temporal neural networks, state of the art models for predictions in time series finance data, are used and compared with models that contain trend filtering as an input feature. Extensive experiments on real-world multivariate time series data show that the proposed method is effective and significantly better than existing baseline methods.

description: We present deep polarimetric observations of the European Large Area ISO Survey-North 1 (ELAIS-N1) field using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) at 114.9-177.4 MHz. The ELAIS-N1 field is part of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey deep fields data release I. For six eight-hour observing epochs, we align the polarization angles and stack the 20"-resolution Stokes $Q$, $U$-parameter data cubes. This produces a 16 deg$^2$ image with 1$σ_{\rm QU}$ sensitivity of 26 $μ$Jy/beam in the central area. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of the stacking technique, and we generate a catalog of polarized sources in ELAIS-N1 and their associated Faraday rotation measures (RMs). While in a single-epoch observation we detect three polarized sources, this number increases by a factor of about three when we consider the stacked data, with a total of ten sources. This yields a surface density of polarized sources of one per 1.6 deg$^2$. The Stokes $I$ images of three of the ten detected polarized sources have morphologies resembling those of FR I radio galaxies. This represents a greater fraction of this type of source than previously found, which suggests that more sensitive observations may help with their detection.

description: Synthetic images are one of the most promising solutions to avoid high costs associated with generating annotated datasets to train supervised convolutional neural networks (CNN). However, to allow networks to generalize knowledge from synthetic to real images, domain adaptation methods are necessary. This paper implements unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods on an anchorless object detector. Given their good performance, anchorless detectors are increasingly attracting attention in the field of object detection. While their results are comparable to the well-established anchor-based methods, anchorless detectors are considerably faster. In our work, we use CenterNet, one of the most recent anchorless architectures, for a domain adaptation problem involving synthetic images. Taking advantage of the architecture of anchorless detectors, we propose to adjust two UDA methods, viz., entropy minimization and maximum squares loss, originally developed for segmentation, to object detection. Our results show that the proposed UDA methods can increase the mAPfrom61 %to69 %with respect to direct transfer on the considered anchorless detector.

Subjects: Standard of living, Rising wage gap, Medical doctors, Brain Flight.

description: This study was conducted to assess the influence of economic factors on brain flight intention of medical doctors in federal tertiary healthcare institutions, south-south, Nigeria. This was premised on the fact that medical doctor are leaving the country at droves while others may be harboring the intention of leaving. Push-Pull theory was used in supporting this study. Survey research design was adapted. Population of the study was 2,337 medical doctors in the employ of the various tertiary healthcare institutions within the study area. Sample size was determined using Taro Yamene’s formulae and it was given as 342. Proportionate formulae was employed to ensure that each institution under study was fairly represented. Data for the study was sourced from primary source involving structured questionnaire administered to the respondents in their respective offices. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive and inferential involving percentages, mean, standard deviation, standardized coefficients, tstatistics and p-values. Results revealed that standard of living explains 3.7% of variance of brain flight and a standardized coefficient of β=0.629 with a p-value of 0.000. Rising wage gap explained 7.3% of variance of brain flight intent with a standardized coefficient of β=0.923 and p-value of 0.000. Conclusively, the heavy loss of healthcare professionals including the ones that intend to migrate, poses threat of collapsed healthcare services and major risks to the lives of Nigerians. This calls for intensive consultation and consensus building between the developing and developed countries. As recommendations, there is need to increase the funding of public healthcare sector to enable hospitals purchase necessary equipment and for improvement of doctors’ welfare packages.

description: This thesis sought to develop a model to emulate coronary balloon-stent angioplasty. A model predictive of the radial expansion experienced by a balloon-stent-vessel system under internal pressure was developed. Seven parametric stent configurations modeled after the Boston Scientific TAXUStm Express2tm stent were generated in Pro/Engineer 4.0 which varied in strut cross section. These stents were expanded using finite element package ABAQUS/CAE 6.7 under non-linear, large deformation conditions. An elasto-plastic, Ramberg-Osgood material model for 316L stainless steel with two different work hardening exponents was used. Radial expansion vs. internal pressure data was collected in each simulation. The blood vessel expansion behavior was analytically developed using a hyperelastic model borrowed from existing literature. An area fraction model was used to assess the load transfer from the balloon external surface to the stent inner surface. The balloon, stent, and vessel models were combined and favorably compared to the manufacturing data that accompanied the TAXUS stent. It was found that stent strut cross section and material work hardening greatly affected the radial expansion-pressure curves. Balloon effects were found to be prominent and increased in severity as the stent unfolded. Vessel behavior was found to be relatively compliant compared to the stent, but with the inclusion of atherosclerotic plaque the simple rule of mixtures showed that the effective shear modulus of the vessel stiffened significantly. These results verify the feasibility of generating an accurate predictive model of balloon-stent-vessel expansion and serve as the foundation for future modeling.
Do Scaling Agile Frameworks Address Global Software Development Risks? An Empirical Study

description: Driven by the need to coordinate activities of multiple agile development teams cooperating to produce a large software product, software-intensive organizations are turning to scaling agile software development frameworks. Despite the growing adoption of various scalin g agile frameworks, there is little empirical evidence of how effective their practices are in mitigating risk, especially in global software develop ment (GSD), where project failure is a known problem. In this study, we develop a GSD Risk Catalog of 63 risks to assess the degree to which two scaling agile frameworks--Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) and the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)--address software project risks in GSD. We examined data from two longitudinal case studies implementing each framework to identify the extent to which the framework practices address GSD risks. Scaling agile frameworks appear to help companies eliminate or mitigate many traditional risks in GSD, especially relating to users and customers. How ever, several important risks were not eliminated or mitigated. These persistent risks in the main belonged to the Environment quadrant highlighting t he inherent risk in developing software across geographic boundaries. Perhaps these frameworks (and arguably any framework), would have difficulty all eviating, issues that appear to be outside the immediate control of the organization.
