description: Context: Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is an important grain legume for food, feed, and green manure. Mungbean yield is highly variable due to fluctuating temperature and unpredictable rainfall. Aims: To improve yield stability, it is critical to utilise a model that can simulate mungbean phenology, biomass, and yield accurately. Methods: A thorough understanding of the physiological determinants of growth and yield is required to advance existing mungbean crop modelling capability. Currently, there is limited understanding of the physiological determinants of canopy and reproductive development and their variation in mungbean germplasm. Two experiments (controlled and field environments) were conducted at Gatton, Queensland, in 2018-19. Six Australian mungbean genotypes and one black gram (Vigna mungo L.) were grown under non-limiting conditions. Plant phenotypic traits (canopy development, time to first, 50% flowering, duration of flowering and podding, flower appearance, pod addition rates) were recorded. Key results: Genotypes M10403 and Satin II had significantly higher leaf appearance rate (LAR). Genotypes with a greater LAR had higher number of leaves but lower individual leaf area. Genotypes varied significantly in time to first and 50% flowering, with Onyx-AU (black gram) and Celera II-AU flowering earliest. Flowering and podding rates, and duration of these phenological phases varied among genotypes. Total plant leaf area (TPLA) approached its maximum at mid-podding stage. Implications: This study quantified the key phenotypic and physiological relationships associated with canopy and reproductive development, critical for the improvement of mungbean crop modelling required to accurately simulate growth and development and inform possible canopy constraints that are limiting mungbean productivity.

description: Objectives: COVID-19 has led to rapid changes in rehabilitation service provision for young people living with traumatic brain and/or spinal cord injury. The aim of this project was to understand the experiences of rehabilitation service providers during the acute response stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we aimed to identify innovative approaches to meeting the ongoing needs of young people with traumatic brain and/or spinal cord injury during this time. 
Setting: This study was conducted at a research institute and involved remote interviews with key informants around Australia and internationally. 
Participants: Key informants from 11 services supporting children and/or adolescents with traumatic brain injury and/or spinal cord injury were interviewed using a semistructured interview guide. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using inductive thematic analysis. 
Results: Three key themes emerged: (1) recognising and responding to the experiences of families during the pandemic, (2) the impact of greater use of telehealth on care delivery, and (3) realising opportunities to enhance family-centred care. 
Conclusions: These themes capture shifting perspectives and process changes relevant to longer term practice. Research findings suggest opportunities for future service development, enabling service delivery that is more family centred, flexible and efficient in meeting the needs of families. Understanding these experiences and the changed nature of service delivery provides important insights with implications for future service improvement.

description: Effective HIV treatments have transformed the medical needs of people living with HIV (PLHIV) to a chronic condition. However, stigma, poorer mental health outcomes and social isolation remain significant challenges for many PLHIV. HIV peer support programs have assisted PLHIV in navigating the clinical, emotional and social aspects of living with HIV. We draw on semi-structured interviews with 26 recently diagnosed PLHIV in Australia to explore experiences of HIV peer support services. Our thematic analysis identified three overarching themes. First, participants commonly reported that peer support programs offered a sense of belonging and connection to a broader HIV community. This established a network, sometimes separate to their existing social networks, of other PLHIV with whom to share experiences of HIV. Second, peer-based programs provided an opportunity for participants to hear firsthand, non-clinical perspectives on living with HIV. While participants valued the clinical care they received, the perspectives of peers gave participants insights into how others had managed aspects of living with HIV such as disclosure, sex and relationships. Finally, participants highlighted important considerations around ensuring referrals were made to socially and culturally appropriate support programs. Peer support programs fill an important gap in HIV care, working alongside and extending the work of the clinical management of HIV. Incorporating formal referrals to peer support services as part of the HIV diagnosis process could assist recently diagnosed PLHIV in adjusting to a positive diagnosis.

description: Macadamia integrifolia and M. tetraphylla, unlike M. ternifolia, are known for their edible nuts. All three species over-accumulate the trace metal nutrient manganese (Mn) in their shoots. This study seeks to examine tissue- and cellular-level distribution of Mn and other plant nutrients in the three Macadamia species. The distribution of Mn, calcium, iron, and potassium were investigated in whole leaves and cross-sections of roots, petioles, and leaves using synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) in M. integrifolia, M. tetraphylla, and M. ternifolia. The results show Mn sequestration primarily in the leaf and midrib palisade mesophyll cells of all three species. Leaf interveinal regions, root cortical cells, and phloem cells were also found to be Mn loaded. The current study confirms earlier findings but further reveals that Mn is concentrated in the vacuoles of mesophyll cells owing to the exceptional resolution of the synchrotron XFM data, and the fact that fresh hydrated samples were used. New insights gained here into Mn compartmentalization in these highly Mn-tolerant Macadamias expand knowledge about potentially toxic over-accumulation of an essential micronutrient, which ultimately stands to inform strategies around farming edible species in particular.

description: Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is associated with lower cognitive function and diabetes in older adults, but little is known about whether diabetes status moderates the impact of TRAP on older adult cognitive function. We analysed cross-sectional data from 4141 adults who participated in the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle (AusDiab) study in 2011–2012. TRAP exposure was estimated using major and minor road density within multiple residential buffers. Cognitive function was assessed with validated psychometric scales, including: California Verbal Learning Test (memory) and Symbol–Digit Modalities Test (processing speed). Diabetes status was measured using oral glucose tolerance tests. We observed positive associations of some total road density measures with memory but not processing speed. Minor road density was not associated with cognitive function, while major road density showed positive associations with memory and processing speed among larger buffers. Within a 300 m buffer, the relationship between TRAP and memory tended to be positive in controls (β = 0.005; p = 0.062), but negative in people with diabetes (β = −0.013; p = 0.026) and negatively associated with processing speed in people with diabetes only (β = −0.047; p = 0.059). Increased TRAP exposure may be positively associated with cognitive function among urban-dwelling people, but this benefit may not extend to those with diabetes.

description: Background: The incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing worldwide, but the steps in precancerous hepatocytes which lead to HCC driver mutations are not well understood. Here we provide evidence that metabolically driven histone hyperacetylation in steatotic hepatocytes can increase DNA damage to initiate carcinogenesis. Methods: Global epigenetic state was assessed in liver samples from high-fat diet or high-fructose diet rodent models, as well as in cultured immortalized human hepatocytes (IHH cells). The mechanisms linking steatosis, histone acetylation and DNA damage were investigated by computational metabolic modelling as well as through manipulation of IHH cells with metabolic and epigenetic inhibitors. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and next-generation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and transcriptome (RNA-seq) analyses were performed on IHH cells. Mutation locations and patterns were compared between the IHH cell model and genome sequence data from preneoplastic fatty liver samples from patients with alcohol-related liver disease and NAFLD. Results: Genome-wide histone acetylation was increased in steatotic livers of rodents fed high-fructose or high-fat diet. In vitro, steatosis relaxed chromatin and increased DNA damage marker γH2AX, which was reversed by inhibiting acetyl-CoA production. Steatosis-associated acetylation and γH2AX were enriched at gene clusters in telomere-proximal regions which contained HCC tumour suppressors in hepatocytes and human fatty livers. Regions of metabolically driven epigenetic change also had increased levels of DNA mutation in non-cancerous tissue from NAFLD and alcohol-related liver disease patients. Finally, genome-scale network modelling indicated that redox balance could be a key contributor to this mechanism. Conclusions: Abnormal histone hyperacetylation facilitates DNA damage in steatotic hepatocytes and is a potential initiating event in hepatocellular carcinogenesis.

description: Côte d’Ivoire, the world's leading cashew nut producer with 1,200,000 tons in 2022, faces low productivity of raw cashew nuts (350–500 kg/ha) due to the limited adoption of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). This study explored the relationship between producers' perceptions and GAP adoption, identified factors influencing both the adoption and intensity of GAP use, and assessed the impact of GAP adoption on cashew nut yield. Using probit, Poisson regression, and marginal treatment effect models on data from 845 cashew producers, we found that plot preparation, direct seeding, shaping pruning, firebreak strips, thinning, and pruning were the most adopted GAP practices. The probit model results indicate that training, supervision by extension services, and producers' perceptions significantly determine GAP adoption. Additionally, gender, education level, social background, and access to extension services were key factors. Notably, the results from the marginal treatment effect models show that adopting thinning and pruning practices increased cashew nut yields by 194 kg/ha and 195 kg/ha, respectively. These findings emphasize the need for policies prioritizing training programs and strengthening extension services to boost GAP adoption and improve farmers’ yield. Scaling up these initiatives can contribute to sustainable yield improvements in Côte d’Ivoire and the wider West African region.

description: Diabetes and periodontal disease are highly prevalent conditions around the world with a bilateral causative relationship. Research suggests that interprofessional collaboration can improve care delivery and treatment outcomes. However, there continues to be little interprofessional management of these diseases. DiabOH research aims to develop an interprofessional diabetes and oral health care model for primary health care that would be globally applicable. Community medical practitioners (CMPs), community health nurses (CNs), and dentists in Shanghai were recruited to participate in online quantitative surveys. Response data of 76 CMPs, CNs, and dentists was analysed for descriptive statistics and compared with Australian data. Health professionals in China reported that, while screening for diabetes and periodontitis, increasing patient referral and improving interprofessional collaboration would be feasible, these were not within their scope of practice. Oral health screening was rarely conducted by CMPs or CNs, while dentists were not comfortable discussing diabetes with patients. Most participants believed that better collaboration would benefit patients. Chinese professionals concurred that interprofessional collaboration is vital for the improved management of diabetes and periodontitis. These views were similar in Melbourne, except that Shanghai health professionals held increased confidence in managing patients with diabetes and were more welcoming to increased oral health training.

description: Fear and anxiety are common challenges affecting the welfare of cats in animal shelters, yet individualized approaches to address these issues remain limited. The primary aim of this thesis was to evaluate intervention strategies that support fearful cats in shelter environments through innovative monitoring methods, a targeted narrative review, a survey of North American shelters, and a clinical trial. In Chapter 1, I provide foundational context by exploring the history of domestic cats and animal shelters, as well as the unique challenges of assessing and addressing cat welfare in shelter environments. In Chapter 2, I introduce BeRSTID, a computer vision-based system that tracks individual cats’ eating and drinking behaviours in real time, offering a practical solution for shelters with limited resources. Validation demonstrated high correlation with human observations, presenting BeRSTID as a scalable option for accurate welfare monitoring. In Chapter 3, I conducted a narrative review of individual-level welfare interventions, including environmental modifications, psychoactive medications, non-pharmaceutical anxiety-reducing alternatives, and behaviour modification techniques. This review underscored the importance of tailored care based on individual temperament and highlighted gaps in research specific to shelter settings. Chapter 4 builds on these findings by exploring the current use of psychoactive medications and alternatives in North American shelters. A survey revealed that while medications like gabapentin and trazodone are commonly used, notable barriers, such as safety concerns and limited knowledge of their efficacy, prevent widespread use for fearful shelter animals. Finally, in Chapter 5, I conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the impact of gabapentin on fearful cats from hoarding environments. Results demonstrated that gabapentin reduced stress and improved behavioural progress, marking the first evidence of effective combined medication and behaviour modification intervention for shelter cats. Together, this research advances the understanding of individualized care strategies for shelter cats, highlighting both practical tools and effective interventions to enhance welfare outcomes.
Vibration performance of modular prefabricated cross-laminated timber–steel composite floors

description: The growing interest in mass timber construction is spurring research into new connections, lateral load-resistance systems, seismic and fire safety design. In the flooring segment, cross-laminated timber (CLT) and CLT-concrete composite floor systems are seeing increased application, while other timber-based composites such as timber-steel and timber-timber composites are not as explored. Studies on the vibration serviceability of mass timber-based floor systems have also received little attention, despite being a crucial governing design consideration. Against this backdrop, this research investigated the vibration characteristics and serviceability performance of a modular prefabricated timber-based floor system comprising cold-formed steel beams fastened to CLT panels. CLT enables two-way load bearing, while steel possesses superior strength-to-weight ratio and reuse potential compared to concrete. Its ductility also compensates for the brittle tensile failure of timber. The research entailed vibration experiments, subjective vibration performance evaluations and numerical simulations with random walk models, considering various parametric configurations: CLT grade, beam spacing, shear connection spacing, boundary condition, and module combination. The efficacy of sand as a passive damping mechanism in the floor system was also investigated. The experimental results revealed that the floor is a high-frequency system with transient vibration response, low static deflection, and vibration modes mainly controlled by the spacing of its beams. Against the common assumption that simply-supported floors perform worse than those with fixed supports, the numerical analysis highlighted the dependence of the response of the floor system, and hence its performance, on both boundary condition and observer location. Near supports, the simply-supported floor had inferior performance metrics compared to its fixed support variant, while at the mid-span, the latter registered poorer metrics. The results also indicated that a more deformable floor with better energy dissipation could outperform a stiffer one in vibration serviceability, underscoring the critical role of damping in achieving favourable performance. The efficacy of loose sand in attenuating vibration through inter-particle frictional interaction and added mass was verified, with up to 7 % damping attained in floors with loose sand-infill – an additional 2 % damping than those without sand on average. As this is a maturing field, recommendations for future studies were offered.
Design and implementation of a well cementing software

description: Primary cementing is a critical process in the construction of which entails the placement of a cement slurry into the annulus formed by the steel casing and the rock formation. The placed cement sheath serves a multitude of purposes, including structural support, zonal isolation, and well integrity. Many issues can cause failure during primary cementing, so the pre-cement job planning has to account for these by: developing a good centralization program, a good mud removal plan, proper fluid (cement and others) design, and the use of relevant computer simulators. Cement job failure comes with consequences such as environmental damage from leakage of greenhouse gases and zonal communication as a result of poor bonding, which is ultimately costly for stakeholders. Existing software solutions in the market for simulating the primary cementing process come with a huge financial wall, making it accessible only to a select few. Interest parties who cannot afford them ignore design elements, which may lead to poor cement jobs and increase the chances of integrity failure. Added to these accessibility issues, the models used in existing software solutions are, for the most part, unknown and in some cases do not accurately represent the realities that occur downhole. Also, some of these software solutions come with a steep learning curve as their interfaces are not intuitive enough for the average person. Over the past two decades, the Complex Fluids Research Group at the University of British Columbia (UBC) has developed advanced mathematical and computational models to simulate the process of fluid placement in annuli, matched with extensive laboratory-scale experiments. These models account for the complex displacement of Newtonian/non-Newtonian fluids in inclined, non-concentric, narrow annuli as well as in pipes. These have employed rheological fluid models in 1D, 2D, and 3D simulations. This thesis focuses on the amalgamation of these cutting-edge prediction models into a market-standard computer simulator for primary cementing. The resulting simulator, built for researchers, field engineers, and cement job designers, also takes into account the human need for the visually appealing and ease of use.

description: The atmospheric flow and dispersion of traffic exhaust were numerically studied in this work while considering a model street canyon intersection of a city. The finite volume method (FVM)-based large-eddy simulation (LES) technique in line with ANSYS Fluent have been used for flow and pollutant dispersion modelling through the consideration of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). Hexahedral elements are considered for computational domain discretization in order to numerically solve problems using FVM-LES. The turbulence parameters were superimposed through a spectral synthesizer in the existing LES model through ANSYS Fluent as part of ’damage control’ due to the unsteady k−ϵ simulation. Initially, the code is validated with an experimental study of an urban street canyon where the width and height ratio is in unity. After validation, a model urban street canyon intersection was investigated in this work. The model shows a high pollutant concentration in the intersecting corner areas of the buildings. Additionally, the study of this model intersection shows a high level of pollutant concentration at the leeward wall of downwind building in the case of increased height of an upwind building. Most importantly, it was realized from the street intersection design that three-dimensional interconnection between the dominating canyon vortices and roof level flow plays a pivotal role in pollutant concentration level on the windward walls. The three-dimensional extent of corner eddies and their interconnections with dominating vortices were found to be extremely important as they facilitate enhanced ventilation. Corner eddies only form for the streets towards the freeway and not for the streets towards the intersection. The results and key findings of this work offer qualitative and quantitative data for the estimation, planning, and implementation of exposure mitigation in an urban environment.
Exploring experiences of Black African immigrants in accessing mental health services in British Columbia : perspectives of mental health practitioners
Creators: name: Ntow, Amanda Senam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Background: Race and migration place Black immigrants at the intersection of certain social determinants of health, that affect their willingness to access mental health services. It is well established that immigrants generally experience psychological stressors related to sociocultural adaptation to the host country and migration. Researchers have shown that amongst immigrants, Black people are the most underprivileged groups in Canada, and experience higher rates of discrimination. Black immigrants face additional factors associated with developing mental illness, including a history of colonization, poorer access to resources, and systemic anti-Black racism (ABR) directed at people of African descent. Subsuming the experiences of all Black people accessing mental health services under one category risks overlooking the unique needs of Black African immigrants. Although past studies highlight mental health experiences in accessing mental health services of immigrants in general, none specifically focuses on Black African immigrants’ experiences in British Columbia (BC). Research objective: To identify the current barriers and facilitators encountered by Black African immigrants in accessing mental health services in BC. Methods: Multi-methods – rapid scoping review and semi-structured in-depth interview of mental health practitioners. Results and Conclusions: The results suggest that the barriers encountered by Black African immigrants in accessing mental health services in BC outweigh the facilitators. The dominance of barriers over facilitators is indicative of the likelihood that Black African immigrants will encounter more negative than positive experiences when accessing mental health services in BC. Overall, accessibility to culturally appropriate mental health services in BC seems to be improving. However, barriers can be addressed and mental health equity achieved by training and hiring more Black mental health practitioners, prioritizing affordable preventive mental health services, and implementing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) as well as anti-racist policies in mental health practices.
