subject: laser ionization

description: The primary decomposition and secondary gas-phase reactions of methyl-substituted silane molecules, including monomethylsilane (MMS), dimethylsilane (DMS), trimethylsilane (TriMS) and tetramethylsilane (TMS), in hot-wire chemical vapour deposition (HWCVD) processes have been studied using laser ionization methods in combination with time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS). For all four molecules, methyl radical formation and hydrogen molecule formation have been found to be the common decomposition steps on both tungsten (W) and tantalum (Ta) filaments. The apparent activation energy ranges from 51.1 to 84.7 kJ ∙ mol-1 for the methyl radical formation and 55.4 to 70.7 kJ ∙ mol-1 for the formation of H2. Both activation energy values increase with the number of methyl substitutions in the precursor molecules on W and Ta filaments. The formation of these two species is initiated by Si-H bond cleavage. This cleavage is then followed by Si-CH3 bond breakage producing methyl radical, whereas two H adsorbates on the surface of the filament recombine releasing H2 into the gas phase, following Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. The secondary gas-phase reactions of MMS and DMS in a HWCVD reactor have also been investigated. For DMS as a precursor gas, a competition between silene/ silylene chemistry occurring at low temperature and radical chain mechanism present at high temperature is observed. For MMS, its gas-phase chemistry involves exclusively silylene species, characterized by its insertion and dimerization reactions. It is concluded that both free-radical and silenes/silylenes intermediates play important roles in the gas-phase chemistry of methyl-substituted silanes. A comparison of the secondary gas-phase reactions of TMS, TriMS, DMS, and MMS revealed a switch in dominance from free-radical chemistry to silene/silylene chemistry as the number of methyl substitution on the precursor molecule is decreased. A study of the effect of deposition parameters, including precursor pressure and filament material, has shown that these parameters influenced significantly the gas-phase chemistry of TriMS and DMS. This is due to the competition between free-radical reactions and silylene/silene reactions. However, these parameters do not affect the gas-phase chemistry of MMS since it involves only one type of intermediate.
Exploring teachers' perceptions of perfectionism and giftedness

description: Perfectionism is one of the issues which may be a great influence on the development of gifted students. Apart from conceptualizing perfectionism as neurotic, perfectionism can also be identified as normal. The measures of perfectionism also reveal that perfectionism can be perceived from multidimensional perspectives: intrapersonal, interpersonal and adaptive and maladaptive. This study is the first to study teachers’ perceptions of perfectionism and giftedness. Six teachers with experience with gifted elementary students participated in this study. A semi-structured interview was used to elucidate participants’ perceptions of perfectionism and giftedness. Content analysis was carried out and six themes emerged, including their definitions of giftedness and perfectionism, the relationship of the two constructs and development of best practice to cater to the needs and challenges of gifted students with perfectionistic traits. These findings showed that 1) teachers had different ideologies regarding understanding the relationship between giftedness and perfectionism than those in extant research; and 2) teachers’ understanding of the issue of giftedness and perfectionism made them more willing to provide support and facilitate positive change for gifted students with perfectionistic traits.

description: This dissertation uses behavioural and hormonal data to describe female life history characteristics in Colobus vellerosus. It explores female behaviour patterns that may influence female reproductive success, and focuses on the effect of male group membership on female mating behaviour and investment in offspring. My team and I collected behavioural and faecal data between May 2012 and May 2013 at Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary, in central Ghana. From June 2013 to September 2013 I extracted female reproductive hormones (progesterone and oestradiol) from the faecal samples at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center and mapped the hormone values onto female hormone profiles. I documented ovarian cycle length (24 days), gestation length (mean=168.5 days, range=159-178 days, n = 2), age at first birth (5.87 years, range=4.66-7.08, n=8), and inter-birth interval for females whose infants survived to nutritional independence (mean=16.5 months, range=8.3-24.0 months, n=11) and for females whose infants did not survive to nutritional independence (mean=11.4 months, range=8.0-17.1 months, n=9). I investigated whether or not post-conceptive mating in female C. vellerosus is a by-product of fluctuating and/or elevated oestradiol and progesterone levels during pregnancy, or if it is a result of females' access to multiple males. I found that female progesterone and oestradiol levels increased throughout pregnancy and female mating patterns were associated with elevated progesterone levels. Females directed solicitations significantly differently among group types, and females directed solicitations significantly more in unstable multi-male groups than in stable multi-male groups. Females in stable and unstable multi-male groups copulated more with dominant than non-dominant males. I also investigated if female C. vellerosus stack investment in their offspring by conceiving a new offspring while a previous infant is still in nipple contact. I found that eight out of 16 females stacked investment. Females in stable multi-male groups stacked investment significantly more than those in unstable multi-male groups. Females that stacked investment spent a higher proportion of time with an infant in nipple contact than did those that did not stack investment. The combination of behavioural and endocrine data used in this study contributes to a growing body of work describing primate life history variables and mating systems.

description: In this paper, a four-point characterization method is developed for resistive samples connected to either resistive or capacitive contacts. Provided the circuit equivalent of the complete measurement system is known including coaxial cable and connector capacitances as well as source output and amplifier input impedances, a frequency range and capacitive scaling factor can be determined, whereby four-point characterization can be performed. The technique is demonstrated with a discrete element test sample over a wide frequency range using lock-in measurement techniques from 1 Hz - 100 kHz. The data fit well with a circuit simulation of the entire measurement system. A high impedance preamplifier input stage gives best results, since lock-in input impedances may differ from manufacturer specifications. The analysis presented here establishes the utility of capacitive contacts for four-point characterizations at low frequency.

description: In hopping magnetoresistance of doped insulators, an applied magnetic field shrinks the electron (hole) s-wave function of a donor or an acceptor and this reduces the overlap between hopping sites resulting in the positive magnetoresistance quadratic in a weak magnetic field, B. We extend the theory of hopping magnetoresistance to states with nonzero orbital momenta. Different from s-states, a weak magnetic field expands the electron (hole) wave functions with positive magnetic quantum numbers, m > 0, and shrinks the states with negative m in a wide region outside the point defect. This together with a magnetic-field dependence of injection/ionization rates results in a negative weak-field magnetoresistance, which is linear in B when the orbital degeneracy is lifted. The theory provides a possible explanation of a large low-field magnetoresistance in disordered pi-conjugated organic materials (OMAR).

description: I studied the habitat use and interspecific association patterns of red-bellied, red-fronted, and black-and-white ruffed lemurs at Kianjavato, Madagascar. I also investigated the flexible intraspecific association patterns of black-and-white ruffed lemurs. These studies took place in two forest patches of different sizes and disturbance levels within a largely-deforested landscape. Results sometimes differed across forest fragments, indicating potential impacts of fragment size and/or vegetation structure on habitat use and association patterns. All three species used trees with broader crowns more heavily, underscoring the importance of this limited resource. Fruit availability also influenced ruffed lemur habitat use and subgroup size. This species also showed some avoidance of the forest edge and tended to form larger groups of adults when offspring were present. Both red-bellied lemurs and red-fronted lemurs showed avoidance of ruffed lemur core use areas, though they did not avoid one another spatiotemporally. Red-fronted lemurs actually showed positive spatiotemporal associations with both ruffed lemurs and red-bellied lemurs. This was positively related to the amount of core area overlap between groups, and may have been related to the resources and predators shared by these three species. Currently, spatial avoidance of core areas and small differences in diet may facilitate the coexistence of these three species, though red-bellied lemurs may be limited to more marginal habitat in some cases. Future changes to the forest (i.e., deforestation or reforestation) should be monitored, as they may alter both habitat use and association patterns.

‘You’re Doing It Wrong’: How Paratexts, Online Communities, and User Innovation Shape Development and Culture in World of Warcraft

subject: User Innovation

description: Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Games (MMOs) occupy a curious position at the crossroads of culture and technology. While users are free to immerse themselves in virtual worlds, they remain largely removed from the formal systems of administration and development governing these realms. Yet, despite their lack of direct influence, users have managed to influence MMO games in profound ways. This is particularly true of the popular game World of Warcraft (WoW), which serves as the focus of this study. Based on evidence gathered from interviews with average WoW users and the theories of Rene Glas and Eric von Hippel on stakeholder theory and user-driven innovation respectively, I argue that users have enhanced their own agency and precipitated the introduction of novel gameplay elements and innovative techniques through the utilization of user-created resources called paratexts and the formation of unique online communities.

description: We study the relation between the eigenfrequencies of the Bogoliubov excitations of Bose-Einstein condensates, and the eigenvalues of the Jacobian stability matrix in a variational approach which maps the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to a system of equations of motion for the variational parameters. We do this for Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive contact interaction in an external trap, and for a simple model of a self-trapped Bose-Einstein condensate with attractive 1/r interaction. The stationary solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and Bogoliubov excitations are calculated using a finite-difference scheme. The Bogoliubov spectra of the ground and excited state of the self-trapped monopolar condensate exhibits a Rydberg-like structure, which can be explained by means of a quantum defect theory. On the variational side, we treat the problem using an ansatz of time-dependent coupled Gaussians combined with spherical harmonics. We first apply this ansatz to a condensate in an external trap without long-range interaction, and calculate the excitation spectrum with the help of the time-dependent variational principle. Comparing with the full-numerical results, we find a good agreement for the eigenfrequencies of the lowest excitation modes with arbitrary angular momenta. The variational method is then applied to calculate the excitations of the self-trapped monopolar condensates, and the eigenfrequencies of the excitation modes are compared.

Doped Graphene Nanoribbons: Synthesis, Characterization and Application

subject: Graphene Nanoribbon

description: Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), narrow elongated strips of graphene with ultra-high aspect ratios and abundant edges, have recently become a harbinger of novel carbon nanomaterials due to their versatile properties, particularly if synthesized by unzipping of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). GNRs have been investigated for the fabrication of polymer nanocomposites, and for use in batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells owing to the high available surface area and active edge sites, high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, and the scalability of the synthesis. They could also find applications for peptide mediated drug delivery in biomedicine, and as intrinsically fluorescent nanoparticles in nanotoxicology studies. In this dissertation, MWCNTs with different geometrical characteristics and chemical functionalities have been synthesized, and attempted to unzip via chemical and electrochemical oxidation methods. Upon successful unzipping, some of the carbon atoms in the sp2 network of the product graphene oxide nanoribbons (GONRs) have been substituted by a variety of heteroatoms of approximately the same radius, such as nitrogen, boron and sulfur. Microstructural features, structural defects, crystallinity, thermal stability, and elements and their functional groups have been studied using a wide range of characterization techniques. Finally, doped GNRs nanomaterials have been used as carbon-based electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline and acidic electrolytes. The results have shown that bamboo structured MWCNTs have been unzipped through helical and dendritic mechanisms, which are substantially different from the longitudinal unzipping of open channel MWCNTs. The resultant GNRs nanomaterials with a multifaceted structure and active edge sites have competed with the current state-of-the-art platinum-based electrocatalysts in all of the key ORR properties: onset potential, exchange current density, four electron pathway selectivity, kinetic current density, stability and methanol tolerance. Such GNRs would have potential applications in the cathodes of metal-air batteries, and alkaline and proton-exchange membrane fuel-cells.

description: We study single jet and prompt-photon inclusive hadroproduction with multi-Regge kinematics invoking the hypothesis of parton Reggeization in t-channel exchanges at high energy. In this approach, the leading contributions are due to the fusion of two Reggeized gluons into a Yang-Mills gluon and the annihilation of a Reggeized quark-antiquark pair into a photon, respectively. Adopting the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin and Bluemlein prescription to derive unintegrated gluon and quark distribution functions of the proton from their collinear counterparts, for which we use the Martin-Roberts-Stirling-Thorne set, we evaluate cross section distributions in transverse momentum (p_T) and rapidity. Without adjusting any free parameters, we find good agreement with measurements by the CDF and D0 Collaborations at the Tevatron and by the ATLAS Collaboration at the LHC in the region 2p_T/sqrt{S} < 0.1, where sqrt{S} is the hadronic c.m. energy.

description: A half-commutative orthogonal Hopf algebra is a Hopf *-algebra generated by the self-adjoint coefficients of an orthogonal matrix corepresentation $v=(v_{ij})$ that half commute in the sense that $abc=cba$ for any $a,b,c \in \{v_{ij}\}$. The first non-trivial such Hopf algebras were discovered by Banica and Speicher. We propose a general procedure, based on a crossed product construction, that associates to a self-transpose compact subgroup $G \subset U_n$ a half-commutative orthogonal Hopf algebra $\mathcal A_*(G)$. It is shown that any half-commutative orthogonal Hopf algebra arises in this way. The fusion rules of $\mathcal A_*(G)$ are expressed in term of those of $G$.

description: Probabilistic Büchi Automata (PBA) are randomized, finite state automata that process input strings of infinite length. Based on the threshold chosen for the acceptance probability, different classes of languages can be defined. In this paper, we present a number of results that clarify the power of such machines and properties of the languages they define. The broad themes we focus on are as follows. We present results on the decidability and precise complexity of the emptiness, universality and language containment problems for such machines, thus answering questions central to the use of these models in formal verification. Next, we characterize the languages recognized by PBAs topologically, demonstrating that though general PBAs can recognize languages that are not regular, topologically the languages are as simple as ω-regular languages. Finally, we introduce Hierarchical PBAs, which are syntactically restricted forms of PBAs that are tractable and capture exactly the class of ω-regular languages.

description: Background: Impaired glucose tolerance is a risk factor for non-age-related cognitive decline and is also associated with measures of physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). A low glycemic load (GL) diet can aid in the management of blood glucose levels, but little is known about its effect on cognition with poor glucoregulation. Objective: The aim of this thesis was to assess the relation between GL and cognitive function by glucoregulation, and possible mediatory effects by CRF and PA, in older adults. Design: A cross-sectional analysis of 194 cognitively healthy adults aged ≥55 years (mean=65.7, SD=6.1) was conducted. GL was assessed using a quantitative food frequency questionnaire, and glucoregulation was characterized on the HOMA-IR index. Subjects also completed a cognitive assessment, CRF testing, a validated self-reported PA questionnaire, and a blood draw. Multiple linear regression models adjusted for significant covariates were used to evaluate the relation between GL and cognition, and mediation analysis was used to assess potential mediatory effects by CRF and PA. Results: GL was inversely associated with global cognition (β=-0.014; 95% CI -0.024, -0.0036) and figural memory (β =-0.035; 95% CI -0.052, -0.018) in subjects with poor glucoregulation. Neither CRF nor PA mediated these relations. In subjects with good glucoregulation, no association was found between GL and cognitive function (p>0.05). Conclusions: A low GL diet is associated with better cognitive function in older adults with poor glucoregulation. This study provides supportive evidence for the role of GL in maintaining better cognitive function during the aging process.

description: The development of an orogenic wedge is a complex process that reflects the interaction of a large number of components and rates. One such component, strength anisotropy, is present in all bedded sedimentary rocks, so understanding its influence on the development of the orogenic wedge is important. Many other components of the system such as surface processes, fluid pressure, and mechanical failure have been shown to influence the development of the orogen, however the influence of strength anisotropy has not been as thoroughly investigated. By examining the structures at the leading edge of an orogenic wedge with respect to the orientation of anisotropy relative to the principal stress directions, insight into the development of the wedge can be gained. Field data (fracture orientations, bedding orientations, bedrock maps, and hammer seismic data), were combined with subsurface data (well log, seismic and aeromagnetic data) to interpret the anisotropy and structures at the leading edge of the orogenic wedge in the Southern Canadian Rocky Mountains. The structures described indicate that strength anisotropy influences the development of the orogenic wedge. The layering of sedimentary rock creates a strength anisotropy parallel to bedding planes that is a significant control on rock failure at the scale of the thrust front. The change in the orientation of the strength anisotropy from foreland dipping (shallow) to hinterland dipping (deep) at the leading edge of the thrust front creates preferred failure directions that lead to wedge geometries. Although the shape of the leading edge of an orogenic wedge suggests a conjugate system, the upper and lower failure surfaces are not a conjugate pair. They are separate failure surfaces, one that ramps and steps forward and one sub-parallel to bedding that deflects upward. Current theory, which relies on wedge failure due to advancing conjugate failures, does not adequately accommodate the strength anisotropy inherent in sedimentary rock at the leading edge of a contractional orogen. As the orientation of the strength anisotropy is a significant control on rock failure, factors that control the strength anisotropy such as basement topography, subsidence (accommodation space), erosion rate and sedimentation rate will also affect rock failure and thus the geometry of the orogenic wedge is the result of a complex system.

description: Gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide, termed for its observed inhibitory effect on the luteinizing hormone release from cultured pituitary of Japanese quail when it was first discovered in 2000. In vertebrates including fish, GnIH has been found in extra-hypothalamic tissues including gonads, however, information regarding the role of this peptide as extra-pituitary regulator of gonadal function is not available and require further research. The goal of my thesis was to investigate direct action of GnIH, in vitro, on ovarian steroidogenesis, final oocyte maturation, and gene expression using sexually mature zebrafish. In the present study, GnIH did not significantly affect transcript levels for genes involved in the control of gonadal function and steroid biosynthesis. However, GnIH significantly altered hCG-induced estradiol (E2) release and resumption of meiosis. Thus, the findings provide a support for the hypothesis that GnIH plays paracrine/autocrine role in the regulation of ovarian function in zebrafish.

description: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a common treatment-related complication following surgery and chemotherapy. We are reporting a case of cancer-associated thrombosis for a colorectal patient receiving platinum-based chemotherapy. The patient was treated with Rivaroxaban (Xarelto), a highly selective direct Factor Xa inhibitor. This case report highlights the concurrent use of novel oral anticoagulants, which does not interrupt the chemotherapy schedule among patients receiving cytotoxic agents.

The role of natural killer cells in autoimmune diabetes

description: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β-cells with consequent hyperglycemia and serious chronic complications. Both innate and adaptive immune responses are involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. Studies in animal models and in patients with T1D have shown that natural killer (NK) cells are involved both in disease progression and in disease protection, thus suggesting that NK cells can represent a potential therapeutic target in this disease, once the contribution of NK cells to islet immunity has been fully elucidated. Using the model of complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) injection, which has been reported to efficiently prevent diabetes in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, the role of NK cells in diabetes was investigated. Results showed that CFA immunization of NOD mice markedly increased frequency and function of NK cells. Notably, the adoptive transfer of diabetes into NOD/SCID recipients clearly implied that IFNγ secreted from NK cells mediated the protection effect of CFA, suggesting that the NK cell is a critical mediator for diabetes protection. Furthermore, investigation of the mechanism by which CFA activates NK cells found that this activation was through a CD1d-dependent but MyD88-independent pathway. These experiments also showed an up-regulation of NKG2D expression of NK cells and this might possibly be through decreased surface expression of NKG2D ligand. Similar to the NOD mouse, in which NK cells exhibit numeric and functional abnormalities, experiments in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with T1D also demonstrated that NK cells from T1D patients are present at reduced frequencies and show diminished responsiveness to the cytokines IL-2 and IL-15. Interestingly, cell surface analysis reveals that NKG2D ligands are also expressed on human NK cells and that unlike in non-diabetic controls, T1D NK cells fail to down-regulate NKG2D ligands upon activation by cytokines. Furthermore, NK cells from patients exhibit decreased NKG2D-dependent cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion, as well as reduced NKG2D-mediated signaling pathways. Collectively, these results suggest that NK cell dysfunction and aberrant NKG2D signaling may contribute to the pathogenesis of T1D.

description: We study a rarefied gas, described by the Boltzmann equation, between two coaxial rotating cylinders in the small Knudsen number regime. When the radius of the inner cylinder is suitably sent to infinity, the limiting evolution is expected to converge to a modified Couette flow which keeps memory of the vanishing curvature of the cylinders (ghost effect). In the 1-d stationary case we prove the existence of a positive isolated L_2-solution to the Boltzmann equation and its convergence. This is obtained by means of a truncated bulk-boundary layer expansion which requires the study of a new Milne problem, and an estimate of the remainder based on a generalized spectral inequality.

description: Prominent architects have made calls for the architecture profession to adopt a new level of scientific rigour and more readily incorporate evidence-based design into practice; similar to medicine’s evolution to evidence-based medicine. However, evidence-based design is a relatively new field and its widespread adoption by the profession is challenging. One challenge is associated with the education of architecture students. Students, if they are taught about research, often face an ‘application gap’ between research classes and design studio classes. In this study, a research component was implemented in a design studio class. Students were observed and interviewed about their experiences. The research component was successful in introducing students to evidence-based design; however, it did not offer a comprehensive education. Students responded favourably to the research component. We summarize their experiences in the class, draw links to the field of medicine, and offer recommendations for the education of architecture students.

description: Molecular conduction channels between two ferromagnetic electrodes can produce strong exchange coupling and dramatic effect on the spin transport, thus enabling the realization of novel logic and memory devices. However, fabrication of molecular spintronics devices is extremely challenging and inhibits the insightful experimental studies. Recently, we produced Multilayer Edge Molecular Spintronics Devices (MEMSDs) by bridging the organometallic molecular clusters (OMCs) across a ~2 nm thick insulator of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), along its exposed side edges. These MEMSDs exhibited unprecedented increase in exchange coupling between ferromagnetic films and dramatic changes in the spin transport. This paper focuses on the dramatic current suppression phenomenon exhibited by MEMSDs at room temperature. In the event of current suppression, the effective MEMESDs' current reduced by as much as six orders in magnitude as compared to the leakage current level of a MTJ test bed. In the suppressed current state, MEMSD's transport could be affected by the temperature, light radiation, and magnetic field. In the suppressed current state MEMSD also showed photovoltaic effect. This study motivates the investigation of MEMSDs involving other combinations of MTJs and promising magnetic molecules like single molecular magnets and porphyrin. Observation of current suppression on similar systems will unequivocally establish the utility of MEMSD approach.

description: We compute the one-loop expectation value of light-like polygonal Wilson loops in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory in full superspace. When projecting to chiral superspace we recover the known results for tree-level next-to-maximally-helicity-violating (NMHV) scattering amplitude. The one-loop MHV amplitude is also included in our result but there are additional terms which do not immediately correspond to scattering amplitudes. We finally discuss different regularizations and their Yangian anomalies.
