« Que faut-il conclure des évaluations réalisées par les encadreurs du Bureau de la traduction? » La formation universitaire des traducteurs bacheliers récemment diplômés et son appréciation par l’industrie langagière canadienne
Creators: name: Calderon-Contreras, Elisa

description: Au Canada, depuis longtemps, on déplore l'écart entre la formation universitaire en traduction et les exigences de l'industrie. Les employeurs se plaignent, entre autres, que les diplômés arrivent difficilement à s'adapter aux réalités du milieu de travail. Mais, en fait, de quoi se plaignent exactement les employeurs? Quelles sont leurs attentes envers les diplômés fraîchement sortis de l'université? Le premier chapitre de cette thèse se penche d'abord sur deux enquêtes menées par le Comité sectoriel de l'industrie canadienne de la traduction, en 1999, et par Lynne Bowker, en 2004, qui visaient à recueillir l'opinion des employeurs sur le travail des diplômés ainsi qu'à déterminer les compétences les plus recherchées. Ensuite, est présenté le portrait actuel de la formation universitaire en traduction, selon les thèses de doctorat des deux traductologues, Alvaro Echeverri (2008) et Marco Fiola (2003). Finalement, le deuxième chapitre de la thèse est consacré à l'analyse d'évaluations portant sur le travail de bacheliers, nouvellement embauchés par le plus important employeur en traduction au Canada, le Bureau de la traduction. Nous tentons ainsi de mettre en lien les résultats de cette analyse avec l'état de la formation universitaire au Canada.

description: Children are misapprehended and ignored within western philosophy and within practical systems of ethics. Attributes deemed correlative with childhood are considered indicators of insufficiency with respect to moral capacity or agency. Examining assumptions and biases that shape the philosophical conception of children, and our preferred orientations within moral philosophy -toward autonomy, reason, invulnerability - this thesis considered the validity and impact of bias on how ethical systems function, and on how we conceptualize and respond to children. Biases proved durable despite fresh research around morality’s underpinnings and children’s capacities. Because these biases are largely unexamined, they continue to impede integration of new knowledge into our ethical theorizing and system development. Building workable systems of ethics that serve humans from infancy to elderhood, requires disengagement from habits of bias; reconsideration of ‘neglected’ philosophical orientations and integration of new knowledge about childhood and morality. The ensuing space created will prove fertile for constructing ethical systems.

Generation of Photon Pairs in Fiber Microcouplers

description: Due to its inherent stability and compactness, integrated optics can allow for experimental complexity not currently achievable with bulk optics. This opens up the possibility for large-scale quantum technological applications, such as quantum communication networks and quantum information processing. Quantum information processing relies on efficient sources of entangled photon pairs. Most demonstrations in integrated photonics so far have featured the on-chip manipulation of photon states using a free-space bulk-optic source of photons. This has the drawback of introducing loss due to the spatial mode mismatch between waveguide modes of the chip and modes of the produced photons. In this way, loss limits the number of photons that are simultaneously carried in the integrated optical device, and thus limits the number of qubits. One way to avoid this loss is to generate the photons in another waveguide device. This can be done through, for example, spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM). In this third-order nonlinear process, two pump photons spontaneously scatter off each other to create two photons of two new frequencies, satisfying momentum and energy conservation. This has been studied in birefringent optical fibers and photonic crystal fibers. In this work, we investigate the SFWM generation of photons in a waveguide coupler comprised of two touching tapered optical fibers, which we call a microcoupler. The two silica fibers are kept in contact and tapered to be 1 micron in diameter in the 10 cm long uniform interaction region. This device has three main advantages over a standard telecom 2x2 fiber coupler. 1) The small mode area enhances the photon generation rate; 2) The microcoupler supports four modes which is the minimum number required for two-photon entanglement. So in principle the device should be able to produce polarization-entangled photon pairs; 3) The strong waveguide-waveguide coupling and waveguide dispersion (due to the tapering) forces the photons to be far in wavelength from the background light around the pump. We present the 28 allowed phasematching processes for the microcoupler, as well as predict the frequencies of the generated photons. We report the first experimental observation of photon pairs produced via SFWM in a microcoupler. We also analyze the polarization state of the observed photons to figure out which phasematching processes are responsible for generating the photons. We expect to observe more photon pairs in future devices, with the ultimate goal being the generation of polarization-entangled photon pairs for integrated optics.

description: The chiral gravitational wave background (GWB) can be produced by axion-like fields in the early universe. We perform parameter estimation for two types of chiral GWB with the LISA-Taiji network: axion-dark photon coupling and axion-Nieh-Yan coupling. We estimate the spectral parameters of these two mechanisms induced by axion and determine the normalized model parameters using the Fisher information matrix. For highly chiral GWB signals that we choose to analyze in the mHz band, the normalized model parameters are constrained with a relative error less than $6.7\%$ (dark photon coupling) and $2.2\%$ (Nieh-Yan coupling) at the one-sigma confidence level. The circular polarization parameters are constrained with a relative error around $21\%$ (dark photon coupling) and $6.2\%$ (Nieh-Yan coupling) at the one-sigma confidence level.

The Evolving Power Spectrum for the light cone Epoch of Reionization (EoR) 21-cm signal

description: The rapid evolution of the cosmological neutral hydrogen (HI) distribution during the EoR is imprinted along the line of sight (LoS) in the redshifted 21-cm signal due to the light cone (LC) effect. The LC EoR 21-cm signal ceases to be ergodic along the LoS, and the Fourier transform-based three-dimensional power spectrum (PS) fails to capture the full two-point statistics. Several earlier studies have used the multi-frequency angular power spectrum (MAPS) $\mathcal{C}_\ell(ν_1,ν_2)$ to overcome this limitation. However, we do not have a simple interpretation of $\mathcal{C}_\ell(ν_1,ν_2)$ in terms of comoving length scale, and the data volume is large. Here we introduce the evolving power spectrum (ePS) to quantify the two-point statistics of the LC EoR 21-cm signal. This has a simple interpretation in terms of redshift evolution and comoving length scales, and the binned ePS reduces the data volume by several orders of magnitude compared to MAPS. Considering simulations, we study the first three even angular multipoles of ePS to quantify the LoS anisotropy of the signal. We find that as reionization progresses, at large $k$ ($ \ge 0.6 \, {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$), $P_{e\,0}(k,z)$ the monopole moment decreases as $\propto \bar{x}_{\rm H I}$ the mean neutral HI fraction, which, in principle, can be used to observationally determine the reionization history. Furthermore, $P_{e\,2}(k,z)$ the quadrupole moment is negative at small $k$ and positive at large $k$. We propose the binned ePS, which captures the entire information contained in MAPS, to quantify the full two-point statistics of the LC EoR 21-cm signal.

description: The quantum transduction of an rf/microwave signal to the optical domain, and vice versa, paves the way for technologies that exploit the advantages of each domain to perform quantum operations. Since electro-optomechanical devices implement a simultaneous coupling of a mechanical oscillator to both an rf/microwave field and an optical field, they are suitable for the realization of a quantum transducer. The membrane-in-the-middle setup is a possible solution, once its vibrational mode is cooled down to ultra cryogenic temperature for achieving quantum operation. This work is focused on the mechanical characterization via an optical interferometric probe, down to T=18mK, of a loss-shielded metalized membrane designed for this purpose. A stroboscopic technique has been exploited for revealing a mechanical quality factor up to 64 millions at the lowest temperature. In fact, with continuous illumination and a cryostat temperature below 1K, the heat due to optical absorption is not efficiently dissipated anymore, and the membrane remains hotter than its environment.

description: This volume investigates the consequences from the effective ban of different fishing gears at Nyali-Mombasa, a site on the Kenyan coast. Using ecosystem modelling, it explores different scenarios for evaluating high-level impacts of various intervention or management decisions, as well as the resulting socio-economic consequences on relevant communities. The work has mapped various aspects of the Nyali-Mombasa ecosystem through the creation of a food web model, reproducing and quantifying main energy flows, and holistically investigating dominant food-web dynamics, and the role of fisheries on the system. With the exception of a simple Maputo Bay model (Silva et al. 1993), this research is the first to develop an Ecopath model for a coastal area in East Africa.

description: Through switching contraction patterns driving digestive flows, the small intestine balances nutrient uptake and waste removal. Complex segmentation contraction patterns are associated with higher nutrient uptake, while peristaltic contractions primarily serve to flush out unused remnants. However, the impact of the Non-Newtonian behavior of digestive fluids on the efficacy of these contraction patterns remains unclear. Here, we present finite-element simulations that model nutrient transport, diffusion, and uptake within both segmentation and peristaltic contractions along the small intestine for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids. Our simulations reveal that diffusion plays a key role in uptake, with nutrient absorption directly linked to fluid viscosity, which governs molecular diffusivity. Further, we present an analytical prediction for uptake in peristalsis as a function of molecular diffusivity, which aligns closely with our simulation results. Notably, we find that shear-thinning properties of Non-Newtonian fluids enhance nutrient uptake, particularly in segmentation contractions compared to peristalsis. Our results demonstrate the fluid dynamical principles underlying intestinal digestion, showing how shear-thinning Non-Newtonian fluids promote efficient nutrient uptake without compromising the clearance of waste. This physical insight advances our understanding of digestive processes and provides a foundation for exploring the prevention of intestinal diseases such as bacterial overgrowth.

Laplace (1812) is well-known and it has been developed in various forms over many years of studies. In this paper, we derive some formulas of the higher-order asymptotic expansions for that integral, with error estimates, which generalize previous results. Moreover, we discuss a comparison of these asymptotic formulas with approximations using numerical integral.

I’ll Be a Window in Your Home. The Art of Being Fully Present to the Dying Patient in Palliative Care

Subjects: palliative care

description: Dying is an embodied and relational process. It is also a mutually enriching process, not only for the dying patient in palliative care, but also for all involved in his dying. Unfortunately, due to the lack of attention and subsequent understanding of these mutually enriching human experiences, the caring process strictly focuses on medical, psychological, and social needs rather than on the caring presence within a more comprehensive holistic caring practice. The dissertation is a response to this lack of attention in dealing with the human experiences of dying patients in palliative care, and in being open to care and being fully present to them. I have set out to focus on the role of the self-understanding of all involved in a dying patient’s care, as themselves embodied and relational persons, and how their bodily and relational self-understanding enhances and contributes to better outcomes in palliative care practice. I have critically analyzed the anthropological foundations of embodiment and relationality, and from these foundations, developed a new framework for a more comprehensive approach towards a caring presence to the dying in palliative care.

The impact of transnational education on multinational universities
Creators: name: Garton, Jim
name: Mackenzie, Ben
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: TNE has had extensive organisational impact on provider institutions worldwide, across a large range of managerial skill-sets. Examples in universities include paradigm-changing impact on strategic planning, governance and organisational issues, and building new or renovated services in HR, finance, and program administration (Middlehurst & Woodfield 2007; Taylor 2010). Some of this change has occurred alongside onshore recruitment of international students, while some of it is specific to TNE. Some of it has been the result of adept adjustment to change, and some it looks more like the unintended consequences of offshore activity. Either way, much good has resulted. We argue that the specific impact of TNE on universities has been both deep and wide, especially so in the case of branch campuses established offshore. Increasingly, reasons for universities engaging in transnational activity revolve around the challenge to become a multinational organisation, measured in terms of their degree of transnationality (Connelly, Garton & Olsen 2010). These reasons include: - Improving reputation and diversifying revenue streams- Increasing internationalisation of the institution's intellectual capital- Building administrative and managerial capacity and efficiencies’- Improving levels of customer service to students, alumni, partners and stakeholders. A focus for discussion will be what types of transnational engagement bring maximum benefits for both provider institutions and host governments, from collaborative partnerships to offshore campuses. Our argument leads to the conclusion that while universities now have the opportunity to become multinational organisations in a free market in global mass higher education (Wildasky 2010), maximising the benefits of this process will require serious consideration of long term engagement in the form of new branch campuses and large scale strategic alliances offshore.

Harassment Prevention Strategies for the Canadian Public Service – A Qualitative Analysis of Policy Effectiveness

Subjects: harassment
bullying
mobbing

description: This paper is an analysis of the federal government of Canada’s harassment policy and practices. It examines how the federal government addresses allegations of harassment and the management of the harassment complaint process in the workplace. The framework for this study combines a review of the existing central agency policy mandates of the Canadian public service, related documentation as well as various literatures published internationally and nationally. It will address both the effectiveness of the current policy and areas of weaknesses and what can be done from a central agency perspective. The federal government has faced considerable media coverage in the past few years with reports revealing that bullying, harassment and mobbing are on the rise as are the number of mental health disability claims. The consequences of workplace harassment are enormous, not just towards the individual who faces harassment but to the organization as well. Therefore, the final objective of this paper is to recommend new prevention strategies. Because there are many causes of unethical behaviour, the availability of multiple preventative options is required as is the aptitude to apply the most suitable remedy.

description: Capital market efficiency of emerging markets has been investigated widely in recent years, but to-date the empirical results remain inconclusive because most empirical studies fail to consider the institutional features of emerging markets and employ efficiency tests which have been developed for highly liquid markets of developed countries. Furthermore, these studies use empirical tests that are designed to detect linear structure in financial time series. However, recent developments in econometrics of financial markets show evidence of nonlinear relationships in asset returns in developed markets. Given the defining characteristics of emerging capital markets, nonlinearity is most likely to be even more evident in these developing markets compared to developed ones. Using BDS test, the present paper rejects the random walk hypothesis (RWH) for the Tunisian Stock Market (TSE). Despite the multitude of economic and financial reforms, the rejection of the RWH seems to be the result of substantial non-linear dependence and not to non-stationarity in the returns series, which in turn implies a GARCH modeling. Results from Hsieh test show that the source of nonlinearity structure is multiplicative, not additive. Further investigations suggest the use of a FIEGARCH model to cope with the evidence of high volatility persistence and long memory in the conditional variance. Our empirical results also show that despite a high leverage in the TSE index the leverage parameter is insignificantly different from zero. Finally, we argue that the common assumptions of constant

description: A Notch Filter is essential in ECG signal processing to eliminate narrowband noise, especially powerline interference at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This interference overlaps with vital ECG signal features, affecting the accuracy of downstream classification tasks (e.g., arrhythmia detection). A properly designed notch filter enhances signal quality, preserves essential ECG components (P, QRS, T waves), and improves the performance of machine learning or deep learning models used for ECG classification.

description: More than ever, university students are seeking work experiences to help them develop general and career-related skills before graduation (Holdsworth & Brewis, 2014). They gain this experience through unpaid or voluntary work as well as paid work. This report follows from our earlier report on undergraduate students’ paid work at UBC (Taylor, Raykov & Sweet, 2020), and explores students’ involvement in volunteer work, including their motivations for participating and its perceived benefits. Our research confirms that unpaid work often involves different motivations and has different benefits and challenges vis-à-vis paid work. It is also less visible than paid work and tends to be given less research attention. This report begins by identifying the kinds of unpaid work opportunities that are available for undergraduate students at UBC, before turning to a review of the literature on students’ unpaid work and our findings from surveys and focus group interviews.

The Shift in Thinking Ethically About Nuclear Accidents: A Comparative Ethical and Historical Case Study
Creators: name: Yau, Carmen Kar-Yu
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2013
Subjects: nuclear accidents
environmental ethics
normative ethics

description: Between 1952 and 2011, many nuclear accidents transformed the public’s perception of nuclear power, yet there continues to be a disconnected relationship between the public’s perception of nuclear accidents and the governmental perception of nuclear accidents. In the 1950s, nuclear accidents were quite unknown and people did not understand the negative consequences associated with such events. By 2011, nuclear accidents had become more known, and people understood the negative consequences and other implications that were associated with such events; this is also the time period where the disconnected relationship becomes more evident. The literature on nuclear accidents seems to focus largely on social, psychological and environmental scientific perspectives, but what is missing is the ethical perspective of this change in public perception. Study of the ethical perspective of this change in public perception can add to the current literature on nuclear accidents by showing that ethical thought is influenced and shaped through learning from the negative consequences of historical events. Drawing on the works of Roderick Nash and Gordon Graham, this thesis explores the ethical and historical perspectives of this change in public perception of nuclear accidents and how this change will contribute to future energy use policies. I argue that this change in the public perception of nuclear accidents stemmed from lessons learned from multiple nuclear accidents that occurred from 1952 to 2011. As the public perception of nuclear accidents changes, the disconnected relationship between the public perception and the governmental perception becomes more evident.

description: This thesis discusses the impact of the Cold War on the Long African American Civil Rights Movement in the US from 1945 into the early 1970s. I seek to address the historiography that argues that the Cold War was an animating or galvanizing force behind the Civil Rights movement. I argue that black strategies of activism and black thought during the long civil rights era were directly or indirectly influenced by Cold War politics. Strategies towards freedom and equality were manipulated, altered, and transformed due to anticommunism in America.

In this study, we discover models in the form of symbolic equations that govern articulatory gestures during speech. A sparse symbolic regression algorithm is used to discover models from kinematic data on the tongue and lips. We explore these candidate models using analytical techniques and numerical simulations, and find that a second-order linear model achieves high levels of accuracy, but a nonlinear force is required to properly model articulatory dynamics in approximately one third of cases. This supports the proposal that an autonomous, nonlinear, second-order differential equation is a viable dynamical law for articulatory gestures in speech. We conclude by identifying future opportunities and obstacles in data-driven model discovery and outline prospects for discovering the dynamical principles that govern language, brain and behaviour.

description: Production of the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol in response to a stressor is initiated by activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis in fish. Serotonin (5-HT) and negative feedback regulate cortisol production at the whole-animal level; the objective of the present thesis was to investigate their roles in regulating cortisol production by interrenal cells of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) for the 5-HT4 receptor was present in low abundance in interrenal cells. In addition, cortisol production was significantly increased for in vitro head kidney preparations incubated with 5-HT, and this elevated cortisol production was blocked by the 5-HT4 receptor antagonist 5-fluoro-2-methoxy-[1-[2-[(methylsulphonyl) amino] ethyl]-4-piperidinyl]-1h-indole-3-methylcarboxylate sulphamate (GR125487). Thus, 5-HT acts at the head kidney level to regulate cortisol production, probably via the 5-HT4 receptor. Chronic social stress did not appear to regulate the expression of key proteins involved in cortisol biosynthesis or corticosteroid receptors (CR). However, head kidney tissue incubated in vitro with cortisol for 2-8 h showed a reduction in adrenocorticotropic hormone-stimulated cortisol production compared to controls, suggesting the existence of an ultra-short-loop negative feedback mechanism. Thus, the high circulating levels of cortisol in trout experiencing chronic social stress may activate this ultra-short-loop negative feedback mechanism to suppress cortisol production at the head kidney level.

description: Les juges sont aujourd’hui des acteurs indispensables : garants des droits et libertés fondamentaux et arbitres des relations entre les ordres juridiques, ils exercent des missions essentielles qu’il n’est pas toujours aisé de concilier. Cette étude comparative entre l’Union européenne et le Canada propose d’en analyser les ressorts en s’intéressant aux interactions entre un mode d’organisation juridique particulier (le plurijuridisme), un organe (une juridiction suprême) et des normes spécifiques (les droits fondamentaux). En effet, la Cour suprême du Canada et la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne sont d’abord essentielles pour accommoder un ordre juridique commun (canadien ou européen) avec la préservation d’une certaine diversité juridique (entre les États membres de l’Union européenne ou bien entre les provinces et communautés autochtones canadiennes). Elles doivent ensuite garantir les droits de la personne, ce qui implique notamment, une pluralité d’instruments de protection et des modalités d’application complexes des Chartes canadienne et européenne. Les plurijuridismes canadien et européen se trouvent toutefois bouleversés puisque la structure du contentieux des droits fondamentaux et la manière dont les juges manient les standards de protection tendent à favoriser l’unité et à engendrer une homogénéisation. Une protection substantielle des droits fondamentaux dans le respect du plurijuridisme reste pourtant possible à la faveur d’une méthode dialogique et pluraliste.
Contrasting Light-Induced Spin Torque in Antiferromagnetic and Altermagnetic Systems

description: Light-matter interaction has become one of the promising routes to manipulating various physical feature of quantum materials in an ultrafast kinetics. In this work, we focus on the nonlinear optical effects of the spintronic behavior in antiferromagnetic (AFM) and altermagnetic (AM) systems with compensated magnetic moments, which has been extensively attractive for their potential applications. With vanishing net magnetic moments, one of the main concerns is how to distinguish and disentangle AFMs and AMs in experiments, as they usually behave similarly in many susceptibility measurements. To address this challenge, we propose that linearly polarized light could trigger contrasting nonequilibrium local spin torques in these systems, unravelling hidden light-induced spintronic behaviors. In general, one could achieve light-induced spin canting in AMs, while only Neel vector torques in AFMs. We scrutinize and enumerate their symmetry constraints of all 122 magnetic point groups. We also adopt low energy Hamiltonian models and first-principles calculations on two representative materials to illustrate our theory. Our work provides a new perspective for the design and optimization of spintronic devices.

description: Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a risk condition describing a clustering of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. A number of risk and protective factors have been associated with MetS, and individuals with MetS are at a higher risk for developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Objective: To contribute to the understanding of MetS in Canada, and to describe how it is a risk state through which material, psychosocial, and behavioural factors associate with chronic diseases. This was examined through three objectives: (i) to describe the prevalence and distribution of MetS; (ii) to examine potential pathways linking income and education with MetS; and (iii) to examine the interplay between non-movement behaviours (NMBs, namely sleep, screen time, and sedentary behaviour) and MetS. Methods: The Canadian Health Measures Survey (2007-2009, 2009-2011, ages 18 and older) was used for all analyses, which include logistic regression, multinomial regression, and calculation of standardized logit coefficients. Results: MetS was prevalent among approximately 20% of Canadian adults. It was significantly associated with chronic diseases, such as diabetes (11.2% vs. 3.4% among those with MetS vs. the general population). A social gradient in MetS was identified, and the behavioural risk factors of alcohol use, smoking, physical inactivity, and screen time were suggested to be partial mediators of this pathway. Findings demonstrated that not adhering to physical activity guidelines (150 minutes or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week) was associated with increased odds of MetS. A stepwise moderating effect of guideline adherence on screen time and sleep behaviours was demonstrated. Conclusion: MetS is prevalent in Canadian adults, and a high proportion of individuals with MetS have chronic conditions. Addressing the modifiable determinants of physical inactivity, excess screen time, alcohol consumption, and smoking may reduce the social gradient in MetS. Furthermore, adhering to physical activity guidelines may mitigate the associations of NMBs with MetS. The current thesis suggests that healthy behaviours are associated with lower risk for MetS, and therefore, possibly for future chronic disease.

description: The aerospace industry is constantly looking for methods to reduce the cost of flying their airplanes. These savings can come in many forms, one of them being cost savings attributed to fuel savings by either reducing the weight of the airplane or reducing the drag. Friction stir welding (FSW) was introduced as a means of joining previously unweldable Al 7075, a high-strength aluminum alloy commonly used in aerospace for its high specific strength. This eliminated the need for costly and time consuming rivets to be installed, firstly reducing the production cost of the airplane and secondly reducing the overall weight of the airplane therefore improving fuel consumption. There are many factors at play in the process of producing FSW Al 7075, but the result of this process creates a weld joint that is more susceptible to corrosion than the rest of the panel. For this reason, FSW Al 7075 panel fail prematurely and must be replaced too often. The main goal of this project is, using cold gas dynamic spray, to create a metallic layer on top of an Al 7075 FSW joint to protect it against corrosion. A series of 3 corrosion tests indicated that pure Al, among coatings of pure Al, Al 5038 and Al 7075, offered the best protection against corrosion. Al 5083 would also be a suitable material and should be used in applications where high bond strengths are required. Al 7075, although of the same alloy as the parent material, is not recommended for corrosion protection as it offered little advantage over the parent material. In order to better understand the interaction of creating a coating after a hot welding process, several analyses were performed. These included deposition at multiple substrate temperatures as well as hardness and velocity measurements. Results indicate that some aluminum alloys are very sensitive to temperature, yielding better coatings at high substrate temperatures. Individual particle deposition tests reveal that these improvements do not occur at the substrate-coating interface. Another portion of this project was dedicated to creating tensile specimens composed entirely of pure Al cold sprayed coatings. Several sets of samples were produced. Results indicate that pulling in the direction of nozzle travel direction yields UTS values 50% higher than pulling in the direction perpendicular to the direction of nozzle travel during coating deposition. Results after annealing seem to converge towards the same value. Finally, a new nozzle design was performed which should create a more efficient spraying process, resulting in cost savings for the industry.
