Exploring scientific models using emulation
Creators: name: van der Velden, G. W.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis, I study the potential of using emulation to explore the parameter space of scientific models.
In particular, I focus on enhancing the efficiency of models that deal with low accuracy observational data sets; many approximations; and unknown physics.
As a solution, I have created PRISM.
PRISM is designed to easily facilitate and enhance existing Markov chain Monte Carlo methods by restricting plausible regions and exploring parameter space efficiently.
With PRISM, the time spent on evaluating a model is minimized, providing developers with an advanced model analysis for a fraction of the time required by more traditional methods.

description: A study of the properties of multi-MeV proton emission from thin foils following ultraintense laser irradiation has been carried out. It has been shown that the protons are emitted, in a quasilaminar fashion, from a region of transverse size of the order of 100-200 mum. The imaging properties of the proton source are equivalent to those of a much smaller source located several hundred mum in front of the foil. This finding has been obtained by analyzing proton radiographs of periodically structured test objects, and is corroborated by observations of proton emission from laser-heated thick targets.

description: The influence of subliminal priming (behavior outside of awareness) in humans is an interesting phenomenon and its understanding is crucial as it can impact behavior, choices, and actions. Given this, research about the impact of priming continues to be an area of investigative interest, and this paper provides a technical overview of research design strengths and issues in subliminal priming research. Efficient experiments and protocols, as well as associated electroencephalographic and eye movement data analyses, are discussed in detail. We highlight the strengths and weaknesses of different priming experiments that have measured affective (emotional) and cognitive responses. Finally, very recent approaches and findings are described to summarize and emphasize state-of-the-art methods and potential future directions in research marketing and other commercial applications.

description: Background Noninvasive regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) measurement using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) might inform on extent and duration of cerebral hypoxia during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This information may be used to guide resuscitation efforts and may carry relevant early prognostic information. Methods We prospectively investigated non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients on scene. NIRS was started either during CPR or shortly after (<2 min) return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) by emergency medical service (EMS). Outcome was determined at intensive care unit (ICU) discharge and 6 months after cardiac arrest. Results A total of 29 OHCA patients were included. In 23 patients NIRS was started during CPR and in 6 patients immediately after ROSC. 18 (62.1 %) patients did not reach ROSC. Initial rSO2 during CPR was very low (<50 % in all 23 patients, < 30 % in 19 of 23 patients) with no significant difference between patients achieving ROSC and those who did not. Of five patients with ROSC, in whom NIRS was recorded during CPR, two reached a good six-months outcome (initial rSO2 22 %) and three died during the ICU stay (initial rSO2 15, 16 and 46 %). In six patients with NIRS started immediately after ROSC (<2 min), rSO2 was substantially higher (54–85 %) than in patients during CPR (p = 0.006). Discussion and conclusion Initial frontal brain rSO2 determined by NIRS during CPR was generally very low and recovered rapidly after ROSC. Very low initial rSO2 during CPR was compatible with good neurological outcome in our limited cohort of patients. Further studies are needed to assess in larger cohorts and more detail the implications of very low initial rSO2 during CPR on scene.

Development of surface modifying macromolecule blended polyethersulfone membranes for vacuum membrane distillation
Creators: name: Suk, Daniel Eumine
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: Surface modifying macromolecule (SMM) has been developed aiming at the preparation of membranes with greater surface hydrophobicity and greater chemical resistivity at a lower cost than conventional hydrophobic membranes. Throughout the whole work in this study, the membranes, which contains SMM as an additive and PES as a base polymer, are called 'SMM blended PES membranes' or 'SMM modified PES membranes'. The objective of this study is the preparation of SMM blended membranes to be used for the removal of VOCs from their aqueous solutions by the membrane distillation process. In the first part of this work, a SMM, "tSMM", was synthesized by a traditional method and the tSMM blended PES membranes were prepared to study the effects of tSMM on PES membranes by different methods; e.g. bubble-point method and gas permeation, pure water permeation (PWP), contact angle measurement, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In particular, based on the XPS results, the kinetics of surface migration of tSMM was studied. According to the results of experimental and theoretical studies, it was observed that the tSMM blended membranes prepared had a potential to be used in membrane distillation (MD), however to meet the requirement of MD membrane, relatively long evaporation time (over 10 minutes) and high evaporation temperature (110°C) should be needed during membrane preparations. In the second part of this work, a novel SMM, "nSMM" was designed and synthesized. Synthesized nSMMs from two different batches (nSMM1 and nSMM2) were characterized by GPC and the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of nSMM2 was about twofold of nSMM1. Furthermore, "nSMM" blended PES membranes were prepared and characterized. According to the results, the nSMM seems to be a better alternative to tSMM for membrane distillation, since a shorter period at room temperature was required for "nSMM" to migrate to the membrane surface. The ultrafiltration (UF) tests also gave the information on the effects of nSMM on PES membranes. nSMM was fully segregated to the surface of membrane forming a distinctive surface layer and this was observed from optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results. In the end of the second part, the nSMM blended PES membranes were successfully applied in vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) for the removal of ethanol from water.

description: Background The value of liver-directed therapy (LDT) in patients with metastasic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC) is still an active field of research, particularly in the era of tyrosinkinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Methods The records of 35 patients with MRCC undergoing LDT of metastasic liver lesions between 1992 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Immediate postoperative TKI was given in a subgroup of patients after LDT for metastasic lesions. Uni- and multivariate models were applied to assess overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Results Following primary tumor (renal cell cancer) resection and LDT, respectively, median OS was better for a total of 16 patients (41 %) receiving immediate postoperative TKI with 151 and 98 months, when compared to patients without TKI therapy with 61 (p = 0.003) and 40 months (p = 0.032). Immediate postoperative TKI was associated with better median PFS (47 months versus 19 months; p = 0.023), whereas in DFS only a trend was observed (51 months versus 19 months; p = 0.110). Conclusions LDT should be considered as a suitable additive tool in the era of TKI therapy of MRCC to the liver. In this context, postoperative TKI therapy seems to be associated with better OS and PFS, but not DFS.
Finding Attribute Diversified Community over Large Attributed Networks
Creators: name: Chowdhary, Afzal Azeem
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Community search in attributed graphs aims to find communities that are both structure cohesive and attribute cohesive. Meanwhile, finding for a community that is structure cohesive yet attribute diversified, denoted as attribute diversified community search, is still at an early stage.
In this thesis, we introduce our recent effort for discovering an attribute diversified community. In fact, for different applications, the needs of attribute diversification for modelling the community are quite different. We introduce three attribute diversified community models in which attribute diversification takes different roles. Finding and defining diversity will be a crucial part of our thesis.
Regulation, function and evolution of the Distal-less-related genes in the pharyngeal arches
Creators: name: Sperber, Steven M
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: The vertebrate Dlx homeodomain-containing genes are generally organized as three convergently transcribed bigene clusters. Paired genes share highly conserved overlapping expression patterns in the forebrain, the pharyngeal arches, sensory placodes and limb/fin buds. Little is known about how the Dlx genes are targeted to their sites of expression, or what particular roles individual genes play in development. In the pharyngeal arches, Dlx genes are expressed in a nested manner, which defines proximodistal identity. We identified two distinct cis-acting enhancers, I12a and I56i situated between Dlx1/2 and Dlx5/6 pairs respectively that regulate expression in the mandibular arch. In transgenic animals, the two enhancers targeted reporter gene expression to distinct populations of mesenchymal cells in the mandibular arch. Both enhancers responded to epithelial signaling cues, such as FGF8 and BMP4, similar to endogenous Dlx genes. Therefore, the combinatorial arch expression is achieved through interaction between signaling factors and intrinsic cellular factors. To investigate the individual roles of the paired Dlx1/2 gene in patterning the pharyngeal arches, we silenced zebrafish dlx1a and dlx2a using morpholino antisense oligonucleotides. Loss of dlx2a function in zebrafish embryos resulted in reductions of arch neural crest markers as well as perturbation of neurogenic and chondrogenic derivatives. Loss of dlx1a resulted in malformations of cartilage elements indicating a role in arch patterning. To explore further the evolution of the Dlx gene family, we characterized the Distal-less homologue, Odidll, in the protochordate species, Oikopleura dioica. Odidll is not part of a bigene cluster suggesting either that a paralogue was lost or that the tandem duplication event occurred subsequent to the species' divergence. Odidll, was expressed in ectodermally-derived tissues suggesting a role that may have been observed in a common chordate ancestor. These results contribute to our understanding of Dlx regulation, function and evolution.

Thermo-geomechanical behavior of demolition wastes in geothermal pavements
Creators: name: Baghban Asghari Neja, Hooman
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This project aims to develop a low-carbon geothermal pavement technology, which will extract an untapped source of renewable energy from the heat absorbed and radiated by roads. By incorporating demolition material in the geothermal pavement structure, the landfill stockpiles will reduce, which has environmental and economic benefits. On the other hand, Australia seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, which shows the necessity of developing a new source of renewable energy. Geothermal pavements have the potential to add a new source to Australia’s renewable energy mix and significantly reduce energy consumption in the urban and regional environment.
Guaranteeing QoS in the transmission of MPEG-2 video over IP-based networks.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Multimedia applications, have stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements. These requirements are application specific and as far as protocol stacks are concerned, they are layer specific. It is essential to satisfy these requirements at all the system components along the path from a service provider to a service user, starting from and ending at the end points. It is equally important to develop methods to translate QoS requirements of an application into QoS parameters at different layers as well as implement architectures for the global management of QoS. This thesis includes an analytical study of buffer and jitter requirements in the transmission of digital video as well as an experimental study of QoS requirements and QoS mapping for the transmission of MPEG-2 video over IP-based networks and Ethernet in particular. First, we have examined the buffer constraints of the video server and the video clients in a video on demand system and found the constraints on the channel rate in order to avoid buffer overflow and/or underflow.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: This thesis details the simulation and experimental validation of several all-optical signal-processing configurations that utilise competitive optics principles. Competitive optics refers to any number of optical systems where different optical modes or wavelengths compete for a limited system resource, such as the optical gain of some common gain medium, in order to receive amplification. The gain medium can utilise different materials including photorefractive materials (e.g. BaTO3 crystals) and saturated gain material (e.g. semiconductor optical amplifiers). Competitive optics configurations are capable of sophisticated all-optical signal processing functions ranging from all-optical wavelength conversion to optical logic and storage. This thesis will present a series of simulated competitive optics configurations that utilise a semiconductor ring laser a basic competitive optics structure. These simulations will prove the viability and validity of competitive optics configurations that utilise saturated gain material, specifically the Semiconductor Optical Amplifier. The thesis will demonstrate the application of the Lotka-Volterra mathematical model of competitive interactions to the modelling of some of aforementioned configurations. Finally, experimental investigations of different semiconductor ring lasers configurations are presented and analysed from a competitive optics point of view.

description: In this work, a novel soft-hard template method towards the direct fabrication of graphene films on silicon/silica substrate is developed via a tri-constituent self-assembly route. Using cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a soft template, silica (SiO2) from tetramethoxysilane as a hard template, and pyrene as a carbon source, the self-assembly process allows the formation of a sandwich-like SiO2/CTAB/pyrene composite, which can be further converted to high quantity graphene films with a thickness of ~1 nm and a size of over 5 μm by thermal treatment. The morphology and thickness of the graphene films can be effectively controlled through the adjustment of the ratio of pyrene to CTAB. Furthermore, a high nonlinear refractive index n2 of ~10−12 m2 W−1 is measured from graphene/silica hybrid film, which is six orders of magnitude larger than that of silicon and comparable to the graphene from chemical vapor deposition process.

Perceptions of work-family role combination and well-being in dual-income parents.

description: Two hundred and eighty-one dual-income parents (140 men and 141 women) employed full-time, with at least one child aged 12 or younger completed a questionnaire on perceptions of work-family interference and enhancement. It was hypothesized that both types of perceptions would contribute unique variance to explanations of well-being (marital, parenting and job satisfaction) in this sample, and that levels of interference and enhancement may vary by gender and by direction of interference and enhancement. No gender differences in total enhancement were found; however, after controlling for employment and household labour hours, women perceived more total interference and work-to-family interference than did men. There were no gender differences in family-to-work interference, or in direction-specific enhancement. Multiple regression analyses supported hypotheses in that perceptions of interference and enhancement both contributed to explanations of well-being; however, support depended on gender, the direction of interference and enhancement, and the aspect of well-being assessed. Men and women were similar in how specific directions of interference related to well-being. For both men and women, family-to-work interference predicted marital satisfaction, whereas work-to-family interference predicted parenting satisfaction. Men and women differed in how specific directions of enhancement related to well-being. All three aspects of women's well-being were related to one or the other direction of enhancement, whereas only job satisfaction was related to enhancement (work-to-family) for men. Results provide preliminary empirical support for the theory that perceptions of interference and enhancement are independent dimensions of the work-family interface which conjointly influence well-being. Support is also provided for the independence of subtypes or directions of both interference and enhancement. It is concluded that work-family research models should include measures of both enhancement and interference, because exclusion of enhancement measures risks overstating the negative effects and understating the positive effects of work-family role combination. Further, measures should assess direction-specific enhancement and interference, because levels of interference and enhancement and their relation to well-being vary depending on direction of interference and enhancement. Finally, models should continue to test for gender effects, particularly if direction-specific measures of both enhancement and interference are to be used. Implications for families, policy and organizations are discussed.
Designing ecologically just cities: Enhancing the multifunctionality of nature-based solutions
Creators: name: Pineda Pinto, Melissa
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research explores the integration of ecological justice and nature-based solutions (NBS). As actions that protect, restore, enhance, and harness urban ecosystems to address societal challenges, such as climate change and health, NBS are framed under a human-centered approach, which tends to overlook the lives and needs of other species and ecosystems. Ecological justice provides a theoretical framework for including nonhuman living beings and systems to guide urban planning and design. A mixed-methods research approach that included a systematic literature review, the development of a mapping methodology to map injustices in Melbourne and New York City, and qualitative data from in-depth interviews, helped us create a framework of ecological injustice typologies and nature-based actions as a roadmap for implementing nature-based urbanism.

description: Background: In the human genome, 98% of DNA sequences are non-protein-coding regions that were previously disregarded as junk DNA. In fact, non-coding regions host a variety of cis-regulatory regions which precisely control the expression of genes. Thus, Identifying active cis-regulatory regions in the human genome is critical for understanding gene regulation and assessing the impact of genetic variation on phenotype. The developments of high-throughput sequencing and machine learning technologies make it possible to predict cis-regulatory regions genome wide. Results: Based on rich data resources such as the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) and the Functional Annotation of the Mammalian Genome (FANTOM) projects, we introduce DECRES based on supervised deep learning approaches for the identification of enhancer and promoter regions in the human genome. Due to their ability to discover patterns in large and complex data, the introduction of deep learning methods enables a significant advance in our knowledge of the genomic locations of cis-regulatory regions. Using models for well-characterized cell lines, we identify key experimental features that contribute to the predictive performance. Applying DECRES, we delineate locations of 300,000 candidate enhancers genome wide (6.8% of the genome, of which 40,000 are supported by bidirectional transcription data), and 26,000 candidate promoters (0.6% of the genome). Conclusion: The predicted annotations of cis-regulatory regions will provide broad utility for genome interpretation from functional genomics to clinical applications. The DECRES model demonstrates potentials of deep learning technologies when combined with high-throughput sequencing data, and inspires the development of other advanced neural network models for further improvement of genome annotations.

description: The authors investigate the effect of oxygen implantation and rapid thermal annealing in ZnOZnMgO multiple quantum wells using photoluminescence. A blueshift in the photoluminescence is observed in the implanted samples. For a low implantation dose, a significant increase of activation energy and a slight increase of the photoluminescence efficiency are observed. This is attributed to the suppression of the point defect complexes and transformation between defect structures by implantation and subsequent rapid thermal annealing. A high dose of implantation leads to lattice damage and agglomeration of defects leading to large defect clusters, which result to an increase in nonradiative recombination.

Standing Under Fenua: Customary Rights and Human Rights in Postcolonial Tuvalu
Creators: name: Apinelu, Eselealofa
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this research was to obtain a better understanding of what causes the disconnection between law and custom in Tuvalu. Using qualitative methodology involving ethnographic and autoethnographic methods, this thesis argues that in Tuvalu, in the context of rights, Fenua is about the collective and rights are always-already duties, responsibilities and obligations. With Fenua human rights are anchored in the collective and in custom and often clashes with Tuvalu's system of judicial law. But, from the indigenous perspective, duties, responsibilities and obligations are not the 'other' side of rights; they ARE rights, and Fenua is all of it.

description: This Article expands the rule of law crisis narrative to the EU administrative layer. It starts by introducing the context where the agencies have developed; it continues with an operationalization of the rule of law for agencies; in the next section, it places the evolution of the agencies against the background of the low-intensity constitutionalism of the EU legal order and its meaning. It unpacks this concept into the right to effective judicial protection, which is assessed in its constitutional potential in the case law on the Hungarian rule of law; it further continues with an assessment of the case law concerning the instruments of the external dimension of migration and border management, focusing on the deference shown by the CJEU. The thesis argued in this Article disputes the idea of the consolidation of a coherent approach toward rule of law issues, especially when migration-related policies are concerned. The Article concludes with a claim that an effort of constitutional coherence is necessary to support the embedding of the agencies into a more robust rule of law framework.
