The effect of Reiki therapy on maternal anxiety associated with amniocentesis
Creators: Mauro, Margareth Torregoza
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2001

The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the acceptability and feasibility to conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of Reiki therapy on the anxiety levels of pregnant women about to experience their first amniocentesis. Participants (n = 30) were randomized to one of three groups (Reiki, Placebo, Control). The anxiety levels of each participant were assessed on seven occasions using the Subjective Units of Disturbance Scale (SUDS), twice using the Sheehan Patient Rated Anxiety Scale (SPRAS), and once using an interview format.

A total of 23 participants completed the study protocol. All participants reported significant differences in SUDS anxiety at different times throughout the amniocentesis. There was a differential treatment effect between the control group and both treatment groups immediately following the intervention. There was no difference in pre-treatment and post-treatment SPRAS scores. The feasibility and acceptability of conducting a larger study was supported.

description: Dans le contexte marocain, les politiques de développement ont touché tous les acteurs économiques, parmi lesquels figurent les PME. Ces entreprises contribuent à la durabilité à travers l’engagement dans des pratiques socialement responsables, qui touchent plusieurs aspects de la société (Social, sociétal, environnemental…). De ce fait, elles sont étudiées distinctement des grandes firmes en matière de responsabilité sociale de l’entreprise (RSE). Notre article s’inscrit dans la continuité des recherches sur la RSE des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) et se focalise sur le rôle des dirigeants dans la conception de celle-ci.

Bifurcations analysis of turbulent energy cascade

description: This note studies the mechanism of turbulent energy cascade through an opportune bifurcations analysis of the Navier--Stokes equations, and furnishes explanations on the more significant characteristics of the turbulence. A statistical bifurcations property of the Navier--Stokes equations in fully developed turbulence is proposed, and a spatial representation of the bifurcations is presented, which is based on a proper definition of the fixed points of the velocity field. The analysis first shows that the local deformation can be much more rapid than the fluid state variables, then explains the mechanism of energy cascade through the aforementioned property of the bifurcations, and gives reasonable argumentation of the fact that the bifurcations cascade can be expressed in terms of length scales. Furthermore, the study analyzes the characteristic length scales at the transition through global properties of the bifurcations, and estimates the order of magnitude of the critical Taylor--scale Reynolds number and the number of bifurcations at the onset of turbulence.

Transcriptome analysis of the fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat
Creators: Escobar Gil, Claudia
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Tan spot, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is a foliar disease of hexaploid and tetraploid wheat (Triticum aestivum and T. turgidum, respectively) that can cause significant yield and quality losses. Disease development involves the differential production of necrotrophic effectors (NEs) by races of P. tritici-repentis. Although three NEs, termed Ptr ToxA, Ptr ToxB, and Ptr ToxC, have been identified to date, the complete set of effectors and mechanisms contributing to fungal pathogenesis has yet to be fully elucidated. To improve understanding of the virulence of P. tritici-repentis, the fungal transcriptome was analyzed in planta by high-throughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). The susceptible hexaploid wheat cultivar 'Katepwa' was inoculated with P. tritici-repentis isolates 86-124 (race 2, ToxA+) and Alg3-24 (race 5, ToxB+), and leaves were sampled at 12, 36 and 72 hours post-inoculation (hpi) to monitor changes in the pathogen transcriptome. Results were compared with the same isolates grown saprophytically in pure culture. RNA-seq analysis revealed some differences in the transcriptomes of Alg3-24 and 86-124, with the latter showing a higher number of upregulated genes related to the stress response. In general, however, the transcriptomic changes associated with infection were similar in both isolates, involving genes related to oxidative processes, fungal growth and plant cell wall degradation. These included genes coding for peroxidases, catalases and xylanases, which have been reported to enhance pathogenicity in other microbes. Both Alg3-24 and 86-124 presented more downregulated vs. upregulated genes. The ToxA gene coding for Ptr ToxA was expressed at 12 and 36 hpi, whereas the ToxB gene coding for Ptr ToxB showed a more uniform expression pattern across time points. Collectively, the results indicate significant changes in the transcriptome of P. tritici-repentis during pathogenesis and the involvement of various virulence-related processes beyond the known NEs.

description: The Hamiltonian dynamics and the canonical covariant formalism for an exotic action in three dimensions are performed. By working with the complete phase space, we report a complete Hamiltonian description of the theory such as the extended action, the extended Hamiltonian, the algebra among the constraints, the Dirac's brackets and the correct gauge transformations. In addition, we show that in spite of exotic action and tetrad gravity with a cosmological constant give rise to the same equations of motion, they are not equivalent, in fact, we show that their corresponding Dirac's brackets are quite different. Finally, we construct a gauge invariant symplectic form which in turn represents a complete Hamiltonian description of the covariant phase space.

description: The message passing approach of Karrer and Newman [Phys. Rev. E 82, 016101 (2010)] is an exact and practicable representation of susceptible-infected-recovered dynamics on finite trees. Here we show that, assuming Poisson contact processes, a pair-based moment closure representation [Sharkey, J. Math. Biol. 57, 311 (2008)] can be derived from their equations. We extend the applicability of both representations and discuss their relative merits. On arbitrary time-independent networks, as was shown for the message passing formalism, the pair-based moment closure equations also provide a rigorous lower bound on the expected number of susceptibles at all times.

description: We have studied the magnetotransport of conical and disk-shaped nanocarbon particles in magnetic fields $\left|B\right|\leq9\:\mathrm{T}$ at temperatures $2\leq T\leq300\:\mathrm{K}$ to characterize electron scattering in a three dimensional disordered material of multilayered quasi 2D and 3D carbon nanoparticles. The microstructure of the particles was modified by graphitization at temperatures $1600^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and $2700^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$. We find clear correlations between the microstructure as seen in transmission electron microscopy and the magnetotransport properties of the particles. The magnetoresistance measurements showed a metallic nature of samples and positive magnetoconductance which is a signature of weak localization in disordered systems. We find that the magnetoconductance at low temperatures resembles quantum transport in single-layer graphene despite the fact that the samples are macroscopic and three dimensional, consisting of stacked and layered particles, which are randomly oriented in the bulk sample. This graphene-like behaviour is attributed to the very weak interlayer coupling between the graphene layers.

Stacked Deposits of Thickened and Filtered Fluid Fine Tailings Using Geotextile Tubes to Enhance Physical Stability of Reclaimed Landforms
Creators: Da Silva, Fernando A.N.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Thickening tailings by adding synthetic polymer is a common practice in the mining industry. Flocculant alone in the flocculation of the oil sands' fluid fine tailings (FFT) has been used with the expectation that it would be beneficial to fine tailings particle agglomeration and dewatering. Unfortunately, significant amounts of trapped water remain in the flocculated tailings, affecting consolidation timeframes and shear strength gain, and postponing mine closure and reclamation. This research investigates a tailings management technology approach using a geotextile tube that combines filtration, dewatering, densification, and enhancing the geotechnical stability of the FFT, while effectively recycling the process water. To assure that the return water is suitable for reuse in the mine plant processes and that FFT can be dewatered and densified faster, a physicochemical treatment recipe using coagulation and flocculation was designed to assist solids/water separation and ensure fines agglomeration during pipeline transport prior to discharge into the geotextile tubes. As part of this research, a parametric analysis of the FFT dispersion and flocculation behaviors was performed to determine the causes and mechanisms that explain why significant amounts of trapped water remain when FFT is thickened with flocculation only. The parametric analysis was developed based on the fundamentals of soil behavior, supported by facts observed in the laboratory. The parametric analysis findings and recommendations are also included. The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) aspires toward “zero harm to people and the environment” from tailings facilities. Aligned with the GISTM, this research describes the recipe with geotextile tubes as a feasible solution for safe management of tailings as well as enhanced physical stability of the treated FFT deposits. FFT treated with the defined recipe dewater in the geotextile tubes; the rate of dewatering is a function of the recipe, the inline mixing process, short drainage path provided by geotextile tubes containment, internal pressure and gravity head during filling, hydraulic parameters of the geofabric material, evaporation, freeze-thaw, and the self-weight consolidation, and increased total stress by stacking the geotextile tubes to form stable deposits of thickened and filtered FFT. This research therefore has the potential to change the way mine tailings are managed by greatly reducing geotechnical risk and the complexity of closure, compared with traditional methods.

Drought tolerance of western Canadian forests tree species inferred from dendrochronology
Creators: Panes, Benjamin
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Western Canadian forests have been subject to periods of drought stress over the last three decades, resulting in growth reductions, dieback, and increased wildfires in the context of climate change. To contribute to adaptive forest management, this study compares drought vulnerabilities of eight common western Canadian tree species based on 392 tree-ring chronologies. Chronologies were grouped into clusters with similar climatologies and assessed for drought resistance, resilience and recovery. The results show that the most severe drought impacts occurred in dry boreal mixedwood ecosystems, east of the Rocky Mountains. The dominant species in these ecosystems (white spruce and jack pine) were most vulnerable in the north, rather than at the southern fringe of the boreal forest, suggesting lack of adaptive traits to cope with drought conditions in northern populations. The same pattern emerges for sub-boreal ecosystems further west. For example, interior Douglas-fir was most vulnerable to drought at the northern edge of its distribution. In moister montane ecosystems, Douglas-fir and limber pine showed the least drought resistance, but all species recovered well from drought events. The results have implications for forest management in western Canada: interior Douglas-fir should not be planted beyond its northern range limitations despite significant regional warming trends. Across large sections of western boreal forests, not just the southern boreal fringe, the most common species such as white spruce and jack pine appear vulnerable in the long term, while submontane forest ecosystems of British Columbia and Alberta may serve as regional climate change refugia.

description: A unique spin depolarization mechanism, induced by the presence of g-factor anisotropy and intervalley scattering, is revealed by spin transport measurements on long-distance germanium devices in a longitudinal magnetic field. The confluence of electron-phonon scattering (leading to Elliott-Yafet spin flips) and this previously unobserved physics enables the extraction of spin lifetime solely from spin-valve measurements, without spin precession, and in a regime of substantial electric-field-generated carrier heating. We find spin lifetimes in Ge up to several hundreds of ns at low temperature, far beyond any other available experimental results.

description: We study nuclear dependences of azimuthal asymmetries in the Drell-Yan lepton pair production in nucleon-nucleus collisions with polarized nucleons.We use the "maximal two-gluon correlation approximation", so that we can relate the transverse momentum dependent quark distribution in a nucleus to that in a nucleon by a convolution with a Gaussian broadening.We use the Gaussian ansatz for the transverse momentum dependence of such quark distribution functions,and obtain the numerical results for the nuclear dependences.These results show that the averaged azimuthal asymmetries are suppressed.

Automation of Steel Shear Connection Design using Generative Design
Creators: Duong, Eric
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Steel fabricators and connection designers in the building construction industry often rely on traditional connection design methods, which involve using connection design software or spreadsheets to simulate and design connections with the goal of minimizing costs associated with fabrication and erection. However, accurately assessing the efficiency and cost implications of these designs can be a significant challenge. This is due to the complexity of the process, which involves considering a wide range of parameters such as material tonnage, machinery availability, connection type, labour cost, fabrication and erection constraints, and available optimization tools.

The connection design process can be time-consuming, especially when changes occur throughout the lifecycle of a project. These changes are common in the construction industry, and they can result in designers having to redo or recalculate a significant number of their designs, leading to a loss of efficiency and productivity.

To address this challenge, this research aims to develop an optimization tool that streamlines the connection design workflow and allows designers to leverage emerging technologies such as parametric and generative design to generate multiple options in the early stages of design. This will enable designers to receive instant feedback on how changes affect cost and constructability, allowing for more efficient and effective connection design. Additionally, this tool will promote better integration of the workflow across different disciplines, further increasing efficiency and productivity for steel fabricators and connection designers.

description: The study aims at exploring the contributions of return migrants in economic development, particularly, their role in the international transfer of technology. Besides, reasons for migration and impact on employment generation, as well as, characteristics of migrants (s) are identified who are most likely to promote the transfer of technology. The study indicates that education level, demographic profile, career planning before migration, vocational training, duration of staying abroad, and specific type of employer are some of the important determinants of migrants that are more likely to enhance the return migrant to transfer technology. In addition, remittances sent by migrants also promote technology diffusion by making investments more affordable.

description: DNA origami is a novel self-assembly technique allowing one to form various 2D shapes and position matter with nanometer accuracy. It has been used to coordinate placement of nanoscale objects, both organic and inorganic; to make molecular motors and walkers; and to create optically active nanostructures. Here we use DNA origami templates to engineer Surfaced Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) substrates. Specifically, gold nanoparticles were selectively attached to the corners of rectangular origami and subsequently enlarged via solution-based metal deposition. The resulting assemblies were designed to form "hot spots" of enhanced electromagnetic field between the nanoparticles. We observed a significant enhancement of the Raman signal from molecules covalently attached to the assemblies, as compared to control nanoparticle samples which lack inter-particle hot spots. Our method opens up the prospects of using DNA origami to rationally engineer and assemble plasmonic structures for molecular spectroscopy.

A Study of the Detection of Long-Lived Charged Particles With an Auxiliary Detector Above the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer (ADAM)
Creators: Kelly, Joseph M
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

The Auxiliary Detector above the ATLAS Muon spectrometer (ADAM) is a proposed particle detector. Its function is to detect the decay products of beyond the standard model (BSM) particles produced in the 14 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which evade detection by the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) experiment.

Long-lived particles (LLPs) are a feature of many BSM theories. One such model is supersymmetry (SUSY), a theoretical framework that predicts for each boson and fermion in the Standard Model (SM), there may exist a “superpartner” fermion or boson, respectively. In particular, when this model is extended to also include the theoretical graviton particle, which defines “minimal supergravity” (mSUGRA), there is the possibility of a supersymmetric tau lepton, or “stau” with lifetimes of up to a year.

ADAM is a low-cost addition to the existing ATLAS detector to extend its physics reach. This thesis provides a comprehensive simulation of the production, transport and detection of exceptionally long-lived stau particles, that come to rest in the ATLAS detector before decaying, the subsequent decays of these particles can be monitored in a background-free way during planned and unplanned Technical Stops. The ADAM detector is deployed above the ATLAS detector, effectively turning the upper region of the cavern into a 13,000 cubic meter fiducial volume for detecting the decays of LLPs. While a particular model and parameter set is used in this work, the resultant heavy charged particle featured in the model is not unique amongst BSM theories, therefore the results may extrapolate to other models. Under the specific scenario of mSUGRA physics at the LHC during run 4, and based on the cross-section of the proton-proton → stau-(anti)stau process in the mSUGRA model, the expected integrated luminosity of 715 inverse femtobarns over the course of run 4, and the operational schedule of the LHC, our

experiment showed up to 132.3 ± 0.9 events recorded by the ADAM detector, and at least three events for stau masses under 148 GeV for all lifetimes, or up to 222 GeV for one year lifetimes.
