Three-dimensional N x N passive optical star coupler based on the exact eigenmode coupling and diffraction theory.
Creators: name: Lee, Ken Koon-Hung.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: A technique for a 3-Dimensional passive N x N optical star coupler is described. 3-Dimensional antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides (ARROW) are analyzed and utilised as the input and output waveguides of the N x N coupler. The effective Index Method will be employed to replace the 3-Dimensional ARROW waveguide by an equivalent slab waveguide with its refractive index profile determined by the geometrical shape of the ARROW Waveguide. In the slab waveguide analysis, the input waveguides are coupled to their neighbours. The interaction of the waveguides is described in terms of the normal modes. The resultant field distribution is then diffracted into the free space region which separates the input and output sections. The radiation illuminates the receiving aperture from which the receiving waveguide branches into N different individual output elements, each output element obtaining equal power levels. Different types of loss such as bending loss, spill-over loss, mismatch loss, reflection loss were analyzed and estimated for N = 5. A 5 x 5 star coupler with a transmission efficiency of 56% at a wavelength of 1.3 $\mu$m is achievable.

Investigation of Marangoni flow in Three-dimensional Geometry of Aqueous Micro-foams
Creators: name: Rezaee, Nastaran
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis delves into the dynamics of aqueous foams, essential in varied fields such as cosmetics and oil recovery. It explores how soap-like substances (surfactants) and their varying amounts affect foam's flow, specifically through a process where differences in surface tension drive motion (Marangoni flow). Studies include how these flows behave under different conditions, such as UV light exposure. The findings enhance our understanding of foam dynamics, enabling better control in industrial applications. This could lead to more efficient processes in the production and use of foams, benefiting economic and environmental aspects of these industries.

description: Background Sex and Gender Medicine is a novel discipline that provides equitable medical care for society and improves outcomes for both male and female patients. The integration of sex- and gender-specific knowledge into medical curricula is limited due to adequate learning material, systematic teacher training and an innovative communication strategy. We aimed at initiating an e-learning and knowledge-sharing platform for Sex and Gender Medicine, the eGender platform (http://egender.charite.de), to ensure that future doctors and health professionals will have adequate knowledge and communication skills on sex and gender differences in order to make informed decisions for their patients. Methods The web-based eGender knowledge-sharing platform was designed to support the blended learning pedagogical teaching concept and follows the didactic concept of constructivism. Learning materials developed by Sex and Gender Medicine experts of seven universities have been used as the basis for the new learning tools. The content of these tools is patient-centered and provides add-on information on gender-sensitive aspects of diseases. The structural part of eGender was designed and developed using the open source e-learning platform Moodle. The eGender platform comprises an English and a German version of e-learning modules: one focusing on basic knowledge and seven on specific medical disciplines. Each module consists of several courses corresponding to a disease or symptom complex. Self-organized learning has to be managed by using different learning tools, e.g., texts and audiovisual material, tools for online communication and collaborative work. Results More than 90 users from Europe registered for the eGender Medicine learning modules. The most frequently accessed module was “Gender Medicine—Basics” and the users favored discussion forums. These e-learning modules fulfill the quality criteria for higher education and are used within the elective Master Module “Gender Medicine—Basics” implemented into the accredited Master of Public Health at Charité—Berlin. Conclusions The eGender platform is a flexible and user-friendly electronical knowledge-sharing platform providing evidence-based high-quality learning material used by a growing number of registered users. The eGender Medicine learning modules could be key in the reform of medical curricula to integrate Sex and Gender Medicine into the education of health professionals.
Stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Chancellor succession (Middle and Upper Cambrian) southeastern Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Creators: name: Stewart, William Douglas.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Geology.

description: The Chancellor succession accumulated in a deep-water trough bordering a wide, epeiric shelf during Middle and Late Cambrian time. The Chancellor is divisible into seven major lithostratigraphic units, which are correlative with an eastern shelf assemblage comprising eight cabonate and siliciclastic formations. The deep-water carbonate and siliciclastic sediments in the Chancellor are divisible into five basic lithofacies, each of which has several variants due to a variety of depositional and diagenetic factors. Sediments in the argillite lithofacies were deposited by dilute, muddy and silty turbidity currents and hemipelagic settling. The ribbon calcilutite lithofacies was probably deposited in a similar manner, but owes its final appearance to diagenetic enhancement of rhythmic, primary variations in sediment composition. Both of these lithofacies contain a variety of synsedimentary deformation structures indicative of slope instability. The ribbon calcisiltite lithofacies is composed of interbedded silty carbonate and terrigenous mud turbidites. The calcarenite lithofacies is the product of high-concentration turbidity flows. It locally occupies large, channel-like features ("megachannels"), which are inferred to be slide scars incised into the upper slope. Most of the sediments assigned to the conglomerate lithofacies show evidence of matrix strength, and were laid down by debris flows. This lithofacies includes spectacular megaconglomerates containing Epiphyton boundstone blocks up to 50 m in maximum dimension. Periplatform talus blocks of similar size are scattered throughout the Chancellor. During most of Chancellor time, silt- and sand-sized material either bypassed the upper slope or was confined to the shelf. The high proportion of carbonate and siliciclastic turbidites in the Duchesnay and Oke units (middle Chancellor) is a direct reflection of an abrupt, regressive shift in the position of the cratonal shoreline. Spectacular cross-strike exposures have revealed that the Eldon-Pika margin and adjoining upper slope strata (Tokumm and Vermilion sub-units) are traversed by at least three megatruncation surfaces.

Role of sensory nerves in growth and thermogenesis of brown adipose tissue.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Biology, Neuroscience.

description: The original objective of work described in this thesis was to study neural control of diet-induced thermogenesis in BAT. The hypothesis was that impairment of central warmth perception by capsaicin-desensitization (CAP-DES) would diminish central suppression of BAT thermogenesis by heat generated as a consequence of food ingestion, and thus enhance sympathetic-mediated diet-induced hypertrophy of BAT. Unexpectedly, CAP-DES caused atrophy of BAT and prevented diet-induced thermogenesis in BAT. This novel finding led to a modification of objectives to find out why CAP-DES induces atrophy of BAT and to study further the consequences for the CAP-DES rat of the atrophied state of its BAT. Atrophy of BAT in the CAP-DES rat involved loss of total protein, loss of mitochondrial proteins and loss of cells. BAT of the CAP-DES rat was unresponsive to stimulation by diet and cold-induced growth was retarded. The most extensive destruction of BAT occurred at 1 day, gradually reversed over the next 28 days, then reappeared at 8 months. A preliminary study in which a neurotransmitter of sensory nerves, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was infused for several days suggested that the effect of CAP-DES might be due to removal of a trophic influence of neuropeptides of sensory nerves, known to be depleted in BAT of the CAP-DES rat. The association between atrophied BAT and obesity in several different animal models suggested that CAP-DES rats might become obese. However, CAP-DES rats fed an obesity-inducing diet (high fat) for 10 weeks did not become any more obese than control rats eating the same diet and aging-induced obesity was reduced in the CAP-DES rat. Conclusions. Neuropeptides of sensory nerves play an important role in control of BAT thermogenic capacity, supplementing that of noradrenaline. The relation of atrophied BAT to energy balance in the CAP-DES rat remains to be elucidated.
A Review Study on the Impact of SHGs in Women Empowerment

description: Self-Help Groups (SHGs) have emerged as a crucial mechanism for empowering women, particularly in rural areas. By providing access to microfinance, fostering leadership, and enhancing financial literacy, SHGs contribute significantly to women's socio-economic development. This paper reviews the role of SHGs in promoting financial independence, decision-making capabilities, and social empowerment. It highlights their impact on entrepreneurship, community participation, and household financial stability. Despite their positive contributions, SHGs face challenges such as limited resources, socio-cultural barriers, and inconsistent institutional support. Addressing these challenges through effective policy measures, financial inclusion strategies, and skill development programs can enhance their impact. The findings suggest that SHGs play a transformative role in improving women's status, reducing gender disparities, and fostering sustainable development. Strengthening SHG networks and expanding their outreach will further amplify their effectiveness in promoting women’s empowerment.

description: After the recent realisation of photonic crystals, the pursuit to create new structured matter that controls light has added to our civilisations growing technological advances. The works included in this thesis focus on developing a conceptual background for efficient fabrication of light trapping surfaces on silicon. The rapidly maturing technology of laser fabrication by ultra-short laser pulses is heavily utilised and ablation under applied external fields is also demonstrated. The findings in this thesis contribute to the body of knowledge of laser fabrication processes for nano-texturing of silicon surfaces and ablation processes, and will further inspire the manufacture of light trapping surfaces for both research and industrial applications.

description: Biometric systems use scanners to verify the identity of human beings by measuring the patterns of their behavioral or physiological characteristics. Some biometric systems are contactless and do not require direct touch to perform these measurements; others, such as fingerprint verification systems, require the user to make direct physical contact with the scanner for a specified duration for the biometric pattern of the user to be properly read and measured.
This may increase the possibility of contamination with harmful microbial pathogens or of cross-contamination of food and water by subsequent users. Physical contact also increases
the likelihood of inoculation of harmful microbial pathogens into the respiratory tract, thereby triggering infectious diseases.
In this viewpoint, we establish the likelihood of infectious disease transmission through touch-based fingerprint biometric devices and discuss control measures to curb the spread of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

description: Approximately 26% of Canadians who are not working due to disability report physical limitations caused by coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD accounts for 17% of all lost productivity in Canada. This is true despite the finding that cardiac treatment restores adequate functional capacity in a majority of patients. Two interventions were compared in their ability to increase the RTW rates of cardiac patients. The experimental condition involved the setting of weekly, specific, challenging and self-relevant goals. The comparison condition involved the viewing of four video-tapes focusing on RTW-related issues. Subjects were randomly assigned to goal-setting (N = 22) and video-tape (N = 24) groups. The first hypothesis was that goal-setting would lead to higher rates of RTW and to a higher percentage of eligible weeks worked at follow-up, compared to the video tape group. No significant treatment group differences were found. A related question was whether subject characteristics (i.e., risk of not returning to work, self-determination to participate in the intervention, depression, and anxiety) and implementation characteristics (i.e., group size, number of sessions attended, and duration of follow-up period) would interact with treatment group to affect rate of RTW and percentage of eligible weeks worked at follow-up. Risk of not returning to work predicted RTW and percentage of eligible weeks returned to work. Number of sessions attended also interacted with treatment group to predict percentage of eligible weeks worked. The second hypothesis was that there were group differences life satisfaction and job satisfaction (for subjects who returned to work) at follow-up, as well as satisfaction with treatment at post-treatment. No significant treatment group differences were found. A related question was whether subject characteristics and implementation characteristics interacted with treatment to affect life satisfaction, job satisfaction and satisfaction with treatment. There was a stronger positive correlation between life satisfaction at pre-treatment and life satisfaction at follow-up in the goal-setting group, than in the video-tape group. The third hypothesis was that the goal-setting group would show greater improvements over time in self-efficacy, self-determination, commitment to work, life satisfaction, depression, and anxiety, compared to the video-tape group. Self-efficacy and depression improved in both groups.
Perceptual Beginnings to Language Acquisition

description: In this article, I present a selective review of research on speech perception development and its relation to reference, word learning, and other aspects of language acquisition, focusing on the empirical and theoretical contributions that have come from my laboratory over the years. Discussed are the biases infants have at birth for processing speech, the mechanisms by which universal speech perception becomes attuned to the properties of the native language, and the extent to which changing speech perception sensitivities contribute to language learning. These issues are reviewed from the perspective of both monolingual and bilingual learning infants. Two foci will distinguish this from my previous reviews: first and foremost is the extent to which contrastive meaning and referential intent are not just shaped by, but in fact also shape, changing speech perception sensitivities, and second is the extent to which infant speech perception is multisensory and its implications for both theory and methodology.

description: Inter- and intra-subject variability of the motor evoked potentials (MEPs) to TMS is a well-known phenomenon. Although a possible link between this variability and ongoing brain oscillations was demonstrated, the results of the studies are not consistent with each other. Exploring this topic further is important since the modulation of MEPs provides unique possibility to relate oscillatory cortical phenomena to the state of the motor cortex probed with TMS. Given that alpha oscillations were shown to reflect cortical excitability, we hypothesized that their power and variability might explain the modulation of subject-specific MEPs to single- and paired-pulse TMS (spTMS, ppTMS, respectively). Neuronal activity was recorded with multichannel electroencephalogram. We used spTMS and two ppTMS conditions: intracortical facilitation (ICF) and short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI). Spearman correlations were calculated within and across subjects between MEPs and the pre-stimulus power of alpha oscillations in low (8–10 Hz) and high (10–12 Hz) frequency bands. Coefficient of quartile variation was used to measure variability. Across-subject analysis revealed no difference in the pre-stimulus alpha power among the TMS conditions. However, the variability of high-alpha power in spTMS condition was larger than in the SICI condition. In ICF condition pre-stimulus high-alpha power variability correlated positively with MEP amplitude variability. No correlation has been observed between the pre-stimulus alpha power and MEP responses in any of the conditions. Our results show that the variability of the alpha oscillations can be more predictive of TMS effects than the commonly used power of oscillations and we provide further support for the dissociation of high and low-alpha bands in predicting responses produced by the stimulation of the motor cortex.

Development of an automated process for performing pharmacovigilance case assessments
Creators: name: Cooke, Kendrick
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Pharmacovigilance is the reporting and documentation of adverse drug events. The effective tracking of these events is crucial for ensuring drugs in Canada are safe and effective for Canadians. Pharmaris Canada’s adverse event tracking from the Canada Vigilance database is done through manual data entry. This process is tedious, laborious, and prone to human error. The purpose of this project is to eliminate the need for manual data entry in pharmacovigilance for Pharmaris, an industry partner of UBCs, and to investigate how the implementation of an automated method would increase the efficiency and accuracy of the Canada Vigilance case assessment. An automated method was developed using R. The automated method proposed showed good accuracy compared to the manual case assessment process. A comparison between the differences of the methods was reported and found that there were some discrepancies between the two methods. The assessment of these methods was not accurate due to the differences in export data from the automated and manual methods. After adjusting the results for these time discrepancies, the automated method produced the same adverse reaction case assessment summary statistics as the manual method. By automating the assessment of the Canada Vigilance adverse event cases Pharmaris will be able to assess the cases much more efficiently, saving time and more accurately tracking Canada Vigilance adverse events.

description: The treatment with ultraviolet (UV) light is a well-known technique for water disinfection. Photodegradation by UV light is in discussion as measure for advanced water treatment that could provide a potential removal option for micropollutants. Micropollutants such as ingredients from personal care products are also present in grey water. Grey water gets increasingly attention as a source for water reuse. For that purpose it has to be treated. UV-treatment is an option. However, the knowledge on the fate of micropollutants within such a treatment is little. Therefore, we investigated the fate of the UV filters ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (EHMC), and octocrylene (OCR) as for both UV filters the presence in grey water was reported. OCR as a single compound was investigated with regard to its degradation kinetics and possible photo-transformation products (photo-TPs). These results were compared with those of EHMC previously reported in literature. The mixture of the two UV filters was also investigated to reveal if mixture effects occur regarding the elimination of the UV filters and the formation of TPs. A medium pressure mercury vapor lamp (200-400 nm) was employed for photolysis. This study shows that OCR itself was eliminated below the limit of detection after 256 min and that photo-TPs were formed. The photolysis of the mixture demonstrated alterations of the degradation rates and patterns. Additional TPs were formed by the reaction of the UV filters or TPs with each other. The study shows that more attention should be paid to mixture-effects and mixture-TPs that may cause further follow-up effects. © 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

description: We combine the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Extended Source Catalogue and the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey to produce an infrared selected galaxy catalogue with 17 173 measured redshifts. We use this extensive data set to estimate the galaxy luminosity functions in the J- and KS-bands. The luminosity functions are fairly well fitted by Schechter functions with parameters MJ*−5 log h=−22.36±0.02, αJ=−0.93±0.04, ΦJ*=0.0104±0.0016 h3 Mpc−3 in the J-band and MKS*−5 log h=−23.44±0.03, αKS=−0.96±0.05, ΦKS*=0.0108±0.0016 h3 Mpc−3 in the KS-band (2MASS Kron magnitudes). These parameters are derived assuming a cosmological model with Ω0=0.3 and Λ0=0.7. With data sets of this size, systematic rather than random errors are the dominant source of uncertainty in the determination of the luminosity function. We carry out a careful investigation of possible systematic effects in our data. The surface brightness distribution of the sample shows no evidence that significant numbers of low surface brightness or compact galaxies are missed by the survey. We estimate the present-day distributions of bJ−KS and J−KS colours as a function of the absolute magnitude and use models of the galaxy stellar populations, constrained by the observed optical and infrared colours, to infer the galaxy stellar mass function. Integrated over all galaxy masses, this yields a total mass fraction in stars (in units of the critical mass density) of Ωstarsh =(1.6±0.24)×10−3 for a Kennicutt initial mass function (IMF) and Ωstarsh =(2.9±0.43)×10−3 for a Salpeter IMF. These values are consistent with those inferred from observational estimates of the total star formation history of the Universe provided that dust extinction corrections are modest.
Enhancement of Vaccinia Virus Based Oncolysis with Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors

description: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDI) dampen cellular immune response by decreasing interferon production and have been shown to increase the replication of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus and HSV. As attenuated tumour-selective oncolytic vaccinia viruses (VV) are already undergoing clinical evaluation, the goal of this study is to determine whether HDI can also enhance the potency of these poxviruses in infection-resistant cancer cell lines. Multiple HDIs were tested and Trichostatin A (TSA) was found to potently enhance the spread and replication of a tumour selective VV in several infection-resistant cancer cell lines. TSA significantly decreased the number of lung metastases in a syngeneic B16F10LacZ lung metastasis model yet TSA treatment did not increase the replication of VV in normal tissues. We conclude that TSA can selectively and effectively enhance the replication and spread of oncolytic vaccinia virus in cancer cells.

Contesting organisational change: CSIRO, the media, and other stakeholders
Creators: name: Davidson, Susan Lola
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: There are important opportunities to further develop public sector organisational change research. This thesis analyses a contested science prioritisation change at the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation, which is part of the public sector. The study’s purpose is to investigate the media’s ability to affect organisational change outcomes and to provide learnings and insights about the management of change. The research shows the importance of engaging external stakeholders early; the need to consider the interest and values of the media; and the importance of alignment between the type of change being made, and the method used to manage the change.

description: Background The Long Form and Short Form of the German (original) version of the Urticaria Control Test (UCT) have shown to be valid and reliable instruments for assessing patients with all types of chronic urticaria (CU). The cutoff scores for identifying patients with well-controlled disease were ≥ 24 and ≥ 12 for Long and Short Forms, respectively. However, the sensitivity to change and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the UCT have never been systematically evaluated. This study aimed to investigate the validity, reliability, screening accuracy, sensitivity to change and MCID of the linguistically validated translation of the UCT into the Thai language for assessing CU in the Thai population. Methods A structured translation and pre- testing were done to cross-culturally adapt the UCT for the Thai language. All measurement properties of both forms of the Thai UCT were validated in 169 patients with CU. Results There were strong correlations between the Thai UCT score and disease activity, health-related quality of life impairment, and disease control (all correlations ≥ 0.7). Good internal consistency and excellent intra-rater reliability were demonstrated. The same cutoff scores to define patients with well-controlled disease should be used as those recommended for the original UCT version. MCIDs equated to increase in scores of 6 and 3 for the Long and Short Forms, respectively, of the Thai UCT should be used to identify patients who had minimal responses. Score increments of ≥10 and ≥ 6 for Long and Short Forms, respectively, should be used to define patients who had marked responses. Conclusions This study confirmed the applicability of the UCT for use in Thailand, a country that has a very different language and cultural setting than that of Germany and the United States. Further studies are required to examine the suitability of the UCT for use in the pediatric population.

description: Norovirus outbreaks linked to fecal contamination in shellfish harvesting sites in British Columbia present a significant threat to public health and the shellfish industry. Baynes Sound, in the Strait of Georgia (SoG), is one of the most prolific sites for shellfish aquaculture in BC and has been connected with several norovirus outbreaks over the last decade. Illegal sewage dumping from vessels has been presented as a potential contamination source. In partnership with the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), this report analyzes the suitability of Transport Canada’s Enhanced Maritime Situational Awareness (EMSA) program data as a means to track vessel traffic to support norovirus outbreak investigations. EMSA, which includes data derived from the Automatic Identification System (AIS), is cross-referenced against Planet Labs satellite imagery and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) flyover photography. The cross-reference exercise highlighted inherent inaccuracies within EMSA’s AIS data, specifically a widespread undercounting of vessels across five years of data. Between EMSA and satellite imagery and EMSA and flyover photography, Spearman’s rs were 0.1277 and 0.3028, respectively. The findings illustrate the lack of effectiveness of EMSA for tracking vessel counts across the SoG. Experts and literature reviews suggest that vessel operators may turn off their AIS devices to hide illegal sewage dumping activities. The results lead to the following recommendations: 1) continuation of DFO flyover photography, 2) increasing enforcement of AIS usage around shellfish aquaculture, and 3) expanding the AIS program in Canada.

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Biomedical.

description: Background: Medical devices relying on biosignal acquisition are susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Current approaches are ineffective at shielding low amplitude, low frequency biosignal measurements. Objective: To develop a magnetic shielding mechanism to improve shielding effectiveness (SE) for low amplitude application. Method: A three layer shielding mechanism with the two inner layers made of cold rolled (CR) steel and an outer layer of aluminum (Al) was investigated. Modeling and simulations were performed using finite element analysis. Experiments were performed on shielding samples of CR steel and Al. Results: (1) The average SE for the three layer system was found to be S6.02 and 47.38 decibel by simulation and experiment respectively. (2) By incorporating a conductive layer of Al, performance was investigated up to 25 KHz. SE was observed to increase with the increase in interfering signal frequency. Conclusion: The proposed shielding mechanism would reduce the interference level of low amplitude, low frequency biosignal measurements.

Voluntary Postural Control in People with Low Back Pain
Creators: name: Chen, Zhengquan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Postural control, crucial for maintaining balance in both voluntary and involuntary movements, is influenced by body sensation. However, the impact of low back pain on body sensation remains unclear. This study adapted the SwayDA device to measure body sensation in individuals with low back pain. The main findings revealed a general decrease in body sensation among those with low back pain, associated with the severity of disability and postural control performance. Additionally, individuals with low back pain tended to employ conservative postural control strategies. These results underscore the significance of evaluating body sensation in individuals with low back pain.
