description: Measurements of vibrations, such as sound hitting an object or running a motor, are widely used in industry and research. Traditional methods need either direct contact with the object or a laser vibrometer. Although computer vision methods have been applied to solve this problem, high speed cameras are usually preferred. This study employs a consumer level rolling shutter camera for extracting main frequency components of small vibrations. A rolling shutter camera exposes continuously over time on the vertical direction of the sensor, and produces images with shifted rows of objects. We utilize the rolling shutter effect to boost our capability to extract vibration frequencies higher than the frame rate. Assuming the vibration amplitude of the target results in a horizontal fronto-parallel component in the image, we compute the displacement of each row from a reference frame by our novel phase matching approach in the complex-valued Shearlet transform domain. So far the only way to process rolling shutter video for vibration extraction is with the Steerable Pyramid in a motion magnification framework. However, the Shearlet transform is well localized in scale, location and orientation, and hence better suited to vibration extraction than the Steerable Pyramid used in the high speed video approach. Using our rolling shutter approach, we manage to recover signals from 75Hz to 500Hz from videos of 30fps. We test our method by controlled experiments with a loudspeaker. We play sounds with certain frequency components and take videos of the loudspeaker's surface. Our approach recovers chirp signals as well as single frequency signals from rolling shutter videos. We also test with music and speech. Both experiments produce identifiable recovered audio.

description: The forced displacement of over 100 ethnic minorities in Burma over the last few decades has negatively impacted the overall health of this population. The maternal mortality ratio along the Thailand-Burma border is one of the highest in the world and access to life saving reproductive health services and technologies is minimal. The purpose of this study is to understand the experiences of intra-uterine device (IUD) users living along the border while exploring the various influences that have shaped women’s reproductive experiences. Using qualitative methods, I found that differences in legal/minority status, culture, availability of services, health status, financial status, and education/awareness of family planning can determine women’s overall health in the region. The use of the IUD helped reduce the influence of these factors and provided women with reproductive autonomy; the contraceptive technology was greatly appreciated by users for its efficiency, its effectiveness, and its safety. The findings from this study suggest that the IUD can address significant reproductive health problems in the region and should be made more widely available along the Thailand-Burma border.

description: Background Obstructive sleep apnea is an expected competency for Otolaryngology - Head and Neck surgery residents and tested on the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons examination. Our objective was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and confidence of Canadian Otolaryngology - Head and Neck surgery residents in managing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients. Methods An anonymous, online, cross-sectional survey was distributed to all current Canadian Otolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery residents according to the Dillman Tailored Design Method in English and French. The previously validated OSA Knowledge and Attitudes (OSAKA) questionnaire was administered, along with questions exploring resident confidence levels with performing OSA surgeries. Descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon Rank Sum and unpaired Student’s t tests were calculated in Excel. Results Sixty-six (38.4%) out of 172 residents responded (60.6% male; 80.3% English-speaking). Median OSAKA knowledge score was 16/18 (88.9%; Interquartile range: 14–16). Although all respondents believed that OSA was an important clinical disorder, only 45.5% of residents felt confident in managing OSA patients, while only 15.2% were confident in managing continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP). Senior residents were more confident than junior residents in identifying OSA patients (96.7% vs 69.4%; p < 0.005) and managing the disease (60.0% vs. 33.3%; p = 0.03), including CPAP (26.7% vs. 5.6%; p = 0.01). Residents had lowest confidence levels in performing tongue base suspension (1.5%), transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty (3.0%), and laser assisted uvulopalatoplasty (6.1%). Highest confidence levels were described in performing septoplasty (56.1%), adult tonsillectomy (75.8%), and tracheotomy (77.3%). Conclusions Otolaryngology - Head and Neck surgery residents’ knowledge of OSA was very good; however, confidence levels for managing OSA and performing OSA surgeries were varied. Several areas of perceived strengths and weaknesses in OSA training were identified by Canadian Otolaryngology - Head and Neck surgery residents.

description: Athletes competing at major international competitions such as the Olympic (OG) and Commonwealth (CG) Games live in a purpose built village environment where they may source all, or the majority of their meals and snacks from the main dining hall. As such, athletes are reliant on the event caterers to provide a range of high quality items to meet cultural, sporting and personal requirements. Currently athletes are supported in this environment through the provision of a menu and nutrition support services. Dietitians have played an important role in assisting caterers to develop suitable menus for previous OG and CG events and it is now mandatory for the menu for all OG events to be reviewed by a dietitian prior to the event. However, there is little published literature available to evaluate the suitability of the menu for the diverse group of athletes present at these events. Additionally, even if appropriate items are provided in the dining hall some athletes may require assistance in order to locate or choose suitable items in this unique environment. In order to assist athletes with food choice a range of nutrition support services have been provided at previous OG and CG events, with a nutrition kiosk and Point of Choice (POC) nutrition labels being used most often. In fact, it is now mandatory for caterers to provide a nutrition kiosk staffed by a dietitian and POC labels in the dining hall of all OG events. However, evaluation of these services and the specific role that the dietitian plays in providing support to athletes in this environment is limited. Therefore the objectives of this thesis are to evaluate the nutrition support (the menu, nutrition kiosk and POC labels) provided to athletes at a major international competition (The Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games), to investigate the role of the dietitian in providing these services, and to identify if these services are appropriate for the diversity of athletes present at this event.
The dialetics of legacy

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Legacy involves difficulties, for those who inherit and for those who do not. The history that is a gift and a burden when it involves art is equally problematic when it involves the Fluxus intermedia forms that hover between art and life. This article explores the challenging questions of Fluxus legacy: the right to participate in a discourse network, canon formation, literature development, the work and feelings of younger artists toward a heritage that some demand and others reject. These issues particularly vex the Fluxus legacy. An invisible college of artists, composers, designers and architects created Fluxus. It functioned as a laboratory of experimental ideas. The Fluxus challenge to art and the art world took place on political and economic grounds and involved artistic means and philosophical principle. The shift of Fluxus discourse from outsider status to historical standing is bound up with and transformed in meaning by the institutions that collect, preserve and interpret historical artifacts and documents. These artifacts and documents once tried to tell different versions of the Fluxus story to a relatively uninterested world. Today, they tell a complex and often misunderstood story to a world that seems to be interested in Fluxus for precisely wrong reasons, a situation that defeats Fluxus with the trappings of success. This article explores the dialectical and hermeneutical work of recovery, to address the challenge of legacy by examining its many aspects.

description: The process of market research offers organisations timely, relevant, targeted, and accurate information to enrich knowledge and enhance decision-making. The market research industry continues to evolve on several fronts. While the principles of market research remain constant, advances in technology, psychology, linguistics, and mathematics have influenced the application of market research. Equally, the expectations of clients and suppliers towards the practice and outcome of market research have evolved with the changing environment and practices. More recently, the introduction of big data and social media data streams has provided organisations with new streams of information. These changes to industry practice and the availability of new sources of information have made organisations question the value of market and social research. Thus, this research addresses the research question, How and why do clients and suppliers of market and social research determined value? Value, however, is a contested concept and one that needs to have a foundation before determining value for market and social research.
“Protestant Principles, Roman Adversaries:” Debates on Roman Catholicism in Print, 1685-1700
Creators: name: Ross, Hayley
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2016
Subjects: religion

description: This thesis considers the nature of the debate surrounding toleration for Roman Catholics in England and Ireland as it was carried out in print in the later seventeenth century. It aims to prove that religious argumentation was central to the discourse of toleration in the period immediately preceding and succeeding the Glorious Revolution (1685-1700) and that concerns for the health and welfare of the Church-State were grounded in interpretations of religious and secular authority as they were encountered in the Roman Catholic tradition. More specifically, arguments against toleration of Roman Catholicism were founded on the perceived dual corruptions of the Roman Catholic faith, which were corrupt theological authority (spiritual corruption) and ecclesiastical or episcopal fraud or artifice (secular corruption). These purported failings and their implications for toleration as a religious as well as a civil measure are traced through the conceptual categories of cults, codes, and religious culture, which feature as major themes in contention within contemporary pamphlet literature. Ultimately, this discourse found Roman Catholicism illegitimate in its theology and its leadership and as such recommended the complete excision of Roman Catholicism from the English state.

Year: 2005
Subjects: communication system

description: Computer mediated-communication has become an integral feature of modern society; furthermore, it has become a fundamental driving force behind many of the social anges of the 21st century. However, despite the rapid technological developments that have occurred in recent years, the Internet is clearly still in its infancy. There is constantly the promise of newer and better things, always just over the horizon, which promise to change and improve the way we live our lives and communicate with each other. This project combines two of the most popular online communication systems-Graphical Online Chat Rooms and Instant Messenger Systems (IMS) into one unique system, the La-Lay Online Multi-function Communication System. The name chosen for this project, "La-Lay," comes from the Taiwanese dialect, meaning a "friendly informal conversation", which is similar in meaning to the English word "chat". The choice of this term from the Taiwanese dialect is deliberately intended to reinforce the social identity and the ultural experience of the project's intended audience. The creative component of this project is intended to provide a user-friendly chat room environment with a particular cultural aesthetic specifically targeting the Taiwanese user. One of the greater (idealistic) aspirations of the Internet's original creators was to create a so-called "global village". The author, however, would argue that globalisation increasingly comes at the cost of cultural diversity. Therefore, the La-Lay project is targeted exclusively at the Taiwanese on-line community in an attempt to raise awareness of local and regional identity whilst embracing the obvious benefits of high-tech, instantaneous Internet communication. Avatar characters are used as the primary identity vehicle for human computer interaction in the La-Lay project. This Creative Arts dissertation provides an in-depth analysis of the theories of computer-mediated communication, the relationships between user and computer device and the contemporary social pheno ena accompanying changes in new media technology from a distinctly Taiwanese perspective. Instead of following the trend of globalisation apparent in the online environment, the La-Lay project is an online graphical multi-functional communication system that is specifically designed for Taiwanese cultural environment. The project emphasises the importance of local identity and hence promotes cultural diversity in an age of globally based corporations and ever growing international networks. Furthermore, the La-Lay system is intended to conform to a core value of the Internet; that is, the provision of an anonymous environment in which users may express their personal thoughts and freely experiment with a range of customised, virtual identities.

Paternity testing and the biological determination of fatherhood
Creators: name: Turney, Lyn
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The introduction, availability, and marketing of a transparent and decisive method for determining genetic connections, while irrefutably solving the issue of biological paternity has posed new challenges about the precise constitution and meaning of fatherhood. This article presents the results of a qualitative study of the experience of paternity testing specifically from the perspective of men who were tested or who were unsure of paternity. It presents data on these men's own perceptions of fatherhood. What the study found was that, while biology mattered and the testing was important to men, it did not always solve important issues around fathering and nongenetic ties.

description: We present a year‐round time series of dissolved methane (CH₄), along with targeted observations during ice melt of CH₄ and carbon dioxide (CO₂) in a river and estuary adjacent to Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Canada. During the freshet, CH₄ concentrations in the river and ice‐covered estuary were up to 240,000% saturation and 19,000% saturation, respectively, but quickly dropped by >100‐fold following ice melt. Observations with a robotic kayak revealed that river‐derived CH₄ and CO₂ were transported to the estuary and rapidly ventilated to the atmosphere once ice cover retreated. We estimate that river discharge accounts for >95% of annual CH₄ sea‐to‐air emissions from the estuary. These results demonstrate the importance of resolving seasonal dynamics in order to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from polar systems.

description: The problem of finding proper set-theoretic foundations forcategory theory has challenged mathematician since the very beginning. In this paper we give an analysis of some of the standard approaches that havebeen proposed in the past 70 years. By means of the central notions of class and universe we suggest a possible conceptual recasting of these proposals. We focus on the intended semantics for the (problematic) notion of large category in each proposed foundation. Following Feferman (2006) we give a comparison and evaluation of their expressive power.

description: International students studying in Australia to gain tertiary qualifications that are globally recognised form a major 'export' market for the country. A small proportion of these students are Canadians seeking post-graduate accreditation and registration as teachers with an intention of working either in their home province of Ontario, Canada, or in other locations around the world. This qualitative study aims to understand the expectations and experiences of Canadian students entering a Graduate Diploma of Education in a regional Australian university. Data for this research was collected using semi-structured interviews with an interpretivist approach. The findings are presented in five main themes that have emerged from the data: engagement experience, university services, comparative perspectives, participant qualities and identity indicators. Each of these themes is then tied to the theoretical concepts of the internationalisation of university programs, global perspectives of the pre-service teachers and the development of teacher identity.
History and becoming of science in Jean Cavaillès
Creators: name: Turri, Lucia
Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Filosofia Analitica - Junior
Year: 2011

description: This paper is focused on Cavaillès’ theory of science and his peculiar epistemology. In order to understand the position of Cavaillès concerning the becoming of mathematics, it is necessary to start from the way he utilizes the historical method inherited from Brunschvicg. In Cavaillès’ works, historical analysis is not reduced to a mere reconstruction of the past, but is regarded as an instrument to find the necessity that characterizes the movement of science. This movement is originated by the tensions between a necessary internal push and historical contingency, and it goes at its own pace, being determined by nothing else but the mathematics itself. Therefore, Cavaillès also states the failure of all foundational projects and  affirms the complete autonomy of the becoming of mathematics, which develops as a dialectic unforeseeable concatenation of concepts.

description: My dissertation, Pen and Printing-Block: William Morris and the Resurrection of Medieval Paratextuality, considers William Morris’s influence on the rise of paratextual awareness, his negotiation strategies for Victorian England’s social identity, and his rhetorical construction of an idealized past through textual artifacts. The effect of Morris’s growing social awareness on his transition from illumination to print is reframed by considering his calligraphy as paratextual experiments, based on medieval examples, in combining graphic and discursive meanings with rhetorical and social dimensions. The varied and less ambitious agendas of those printers who followed Morris’s Kelmscott Press, however, limited Morris’s legacy in the book arts. The full significance of his illuminations’ meaningful interplay between text and image, and the social intent of these innovations applications in print, has received little critical attention. The opening chapter frames Morris’s visual work in light of his philosophies and introduces the major concerns of material art, the role of history, the limits of language, and the question of meaningful labour. The second chapter surveys select predecessors of Morris’s developing conception of the Gothic, the significance of architecture as its defining form, and the irreplaceability of the physical past. The third chapter considers the role of the illuminated manuscript in Pre-Raphaelite art, tracing Morris’s calligraphic experiments chronologically while identifying medieval inspirations and examining his artistic development. These experiments led to his final collaborative manuscript, the illuminated Æneid which is the fourth chapter’s focus. The sophistication of its paratextual elements is discussed in light of its unique physicality and limitations. The fifth chapter asserts the Kelmscott Press’s role in balancing craftsmanship and aesthetic paratextual strategies with reproducible models. The Kelmscott Chaucer is the culmination of these strategies, and it is compared to the visual rhetoric of its predecessors. The final chapter compares the philosophies and calligraphic elements of major private presses that followed Kelmscott’s legacy. This evolution of aesthetic, social, and practical considerations is also identified in the work of selected Canadian printers, and a final note considers the implications of the rise of immaterial digital text (radiant textuality) for the continuation of material paratextuality’s role in the future.

description: Spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal recessive genetic disease that results from the loss and/or degeneration of alpha motor neurons in the lower part of the spinal cord. With ~ 1 in 6000 live births per year being affected, this disease is the second leading cause of infant death and is caused by the loss or decrease of the Survival of Motor Neuron protein (SMN). While a lot is known about the role that SMN plays in the cytoplasmic assembly of spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), it remains a crucial question in the field to gain a better understanding of what specific/distinct function(s) SMN might have in motor neurons. We have identified novel interactions between SMN and two RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) known to be components of axonal RNA granules. More specifically, we demonstrated that SMN interacts with HuD and SERBP1 in a direct fashion in foci-like structures along neurites of motor neuron-derived cells. We have also demonstrated that the SMN/HuD interaction is required for the localization of HuD into RNA granules in neurites of motor neuron-derived cells. Furthermore, I have shown that SERBP1 is down-regulated in the absence of normal levels of SMN and, most importantly, that over-expression of SERBP1 can rescue SMA-like neuronal defects using a cell culture model of the disease. These findings may help shed light on the non-canonical molecular pathway(s) involving SMN and RBPs in motor neurons and underscores the possible therapeutic benefits of targeting these RBPs in the treatment of SMA.

description: This paper aims to show how the mathematical content of Hilbert's Axiom of Completeness consists in an attempt to solve the more general problem of the relationship between intuition and formalization. Hilbert found the accordance between these two sides of mathematical knowledge at a logical level, clarifying the necessary and sufficient conditions for a good formalization of geometry. We will tackle the problem of what is, for Hilbert, the definition of geometry. The solution of this problem will bring out how Hilbert's conception of mathematics is not as innovative as his conception of the axiomatic method. The role that the demonstrative tools play in Hilbert's foundational reflections will also drive us to deal with the problem of the purity of methods, explicitly addressed by Hilbert. In this respect Hilbert's position is very innovative and deeply linked to his modern conception of the axiomatic method. In the end we will show that the role played by the Axiom of Completeness for geometry is the same as the Axiom of Induction for arithmetic and of Church-Turing thesis for computability theory. We end this paper arguing that set theory is the right context in which applying the axiomatic method to mathematics and we postpone to a sequel of this work the attempt to offer a solution similar to Hilbert's for the completeness of set theory.

description: A new adaptive backpropagation (BP) algorithm based on Lyapunov stability theory for neural networks is developed in this paper. It is shown that the candidate of a Lyapunov function V(k) of the tracking error between the output of a neural network and the desired reference signal is chosen first, and the weights of the neural network are then updated, from the output layer to the input layer, in the sense that DeltaV(k)=V(k)-V(k-1)<0. The output tracking error can then asymptotically converge to zero according to Lyapunov stability theory. Unlike gradient-based BP training algorithms, the new Lyapunov adaptive BP algorithm in this paper is not used for searching the global minimum point along the cost-function surface in the weight space, but it is aimed at constructing an energy surface with a single global minimum point through the adaptive adjustment of the weights as the time goes to infinity. Although a neural network may have bounded input disturbances, the effects of the disturbances can be eliminated, and asymptotic error convergence can be obtained. The new Lyapunov adaptive BP algorithm is then applied to the design of an adaptive filter in the simulation example to show the fast error convergence and strong robustness with respect to large bounded input disturbances.

Paternité et dynamique des rôles parentaux : une perspective des familles homoparentales
Creators: name: Rendon Ocampo, Juan Camilo
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2016

description: Les études sociologiques traitant des pères homosexuels au Canada ont été jusqu’à présent peu nombreuses. En effectuant cette enquête, on a cherché à saisir le discours de la paternité et la dynamique des rôles parentaux chez les familles homoparentales avec deux pères. C’est donc en effectuant des entretiens semi-dirigés avec cinq couples qu’on a pu soulever le fait que la conception de la paternité aujourd’hui intègre davantage des traits autrefois attribués à la maternité. Aussi, dans le cas de ces pères, la définition de la paternité et la distribution des rôles ménagers et parentaux, se sont basées principalement sur une dynamique de négociation. Cette étude a ainsi permis de revoir certaines notions de la parentalité et de comprendre comment cette nouvelle facette de l’expérience parentale reflète l’avènement d’une singularité sociétale (Martuccelli, 2010).

On a wing and a prayer: stories of the use of improvisation by NEIS businesses during the start-up phase
Creators: name: Best, Simon
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The focus of this study is to consider the concept of 'improvisation' as a business process used by small businesses when faced with unanticipated events. Although the business news and literature is dominated by the activities of big businesses, there is little disagreement among researchers and business commentators about the role that small businesses plays in contributing to the economic activity of Australia. The contribution that small businesses make to the economy includes job creation, competitive power, economic growth and innovation. Furthermore, there is evidence that a flourishing small business sector can assist with creating and maintaining political and social stability. It is widely acknowledged that businesses are operating in a turbulent, unstable and at times chaotic commercial environment. Many business operators are spending increasing amounts of their time responding to unanticipated events in circumstances where there is little or no time to plan solutions or build up resources. There has been little research into how small businesses respond to such unanticipated events. A review of previous literature showed that business operators were likely to respond to unanticipated events in one of three ways; they either ignored the event, undertook planning or they improvised. The term 'improvisation' in this context was used to reflect either the time convergence between the realisation of a solution and its implementation or the application of selected resources for purposes other than that for which they were intended. A model of the process of improvisation was developed using the elements previously described in previous studies. The model falls into three parts; pre-improvisation, improvisation and post-improvisation. The methodology used was a qualitative process consisting of a semi-structured interviews with twenty-nine owners of small-business start-up firms, to explore their experiences with dealing with unanticipated events and to try to establish the nature of the improvisational process. It was important for the participants to tell their stories of improvisation and for the researcher to reflect their experiences in relation to the model of improvisation. The data collected provided greater insight into the process of improvisation and a refined model evolved which better represents the experience of participants. The study confirmed that small businesses do at times, use improvisation to respond to unanticipated events. Consequently, this study has made a significant contribution to the field by extending on the work undertaken to date and by the development of a model that more comprehensively represents the process of an improvisational response to an unanticipated event, in the context of small business.
