abstract: This study explores the difficulties which arise in complex stepfamilies, where both partners have children from previous marriages. Problems of family integration which create discord among family members include boundary ambiguity, contact consistency and role confusion. Boundary ambiguity refers to the uncertainty surrounding family membership which develops because of the extended network of family members acquired in the previous marriage(s) and the present one. Contact consistency relates to the consistency/inconsistency of patterns of contact between stepfamily members and the non-residential children or stepchildren. Role confusion applies primarily to the lack of clarity in respect to the roles and responsibilities of stepparents vis-a-vis their stepchildren.  The sample in this study consists of eight remarried/cohabiting couples, with children from previous marriages. The sixteen men and women participants were interviewed separately in their homes. Their perceptions were examined in an attempt to verify whether or not these issues are indeed part of the common and recurring problems they face as parents and stepparents. The findings indicate that the most serious and recurring problems for members of this sample involve their children and stepchildren. Out of the three concepts examined in this research, role confusion represents the most crucial and difficult one, followed by contact consistency, whereas boundary ambiguity seems to be the least problematic of the three

abstract: The following thesis-equivalent involved the development and evaluation of an interactive repository to be used by the construction industry. It has been pointed out by architects and engineers that there is a lack of expertise about brick veneer wall construction. Not only are there not enough human resources available but the existing workers are not adequately trained, due to a lack of readily available information about this specific type of construction. From these concerns emerged the need for a single repository or compendium that could be used both as a training tool and as a reference database. Since the contents were available and/or best presented in various forms, the CD-I technology was selected. CD-I integrates a variety of media such as video, computer animation, text, photographs and digital audio. This report relates the development phases and the evaluation of a prototype designed on a microcomputer emulating the CD-I environment. The compendium was evaluated with the help of a multi-disciplinary team composed of a professional courseware developer, a general contractor, a construction worker and an architecture student. Results of the interviews and hands-on sessions are discussed. Attitudes toward the CD-I compendium were also probed at a Construction Industry Trade Show held in Toronto, Canada. Results of the questionnaire which was employed are discussed.

The framework for the analysis is the information on text-difficulty and clear writing found in the literature concerned with the genre of instructions, and the research on comprehension of pharmaceutical instructions by African and Asian subjects. The results supported research which claims that pharmaceutical labels are difficult due to their inconsistent use of language and graphics, overreliance on English, complex numeracy tasks, and their heavy reliance on tacit information. Strategies for decreasing text-difficulty are proposed.

abstract: This study gives an alternative view regarding the alienation of African women from technology.  Proceeding with a careful analysis of development communication theories, both old and newer theories are seen as inadequate in clarifying the patterns of Third World development because they do not consider gender as a necessary variable in the development process. Present feminist theories of technology, particularly those in the Women in Development school (WID), are also viewed as inadequate in explaining the alienation of African women from technology, as they mainly point to economic and legal factors.  This study posits that the process of technology transfer has to be considered in the context of the socio-cultural base of African societies, especially in relation to the sexual division of labour. Using Malawi as a case study, the study demonstrates that the main cause of African women's alienation from technology goes beyond mere economic and legal factors. African women's gender-roles confine them to routine, mostly unskilled chores. When advanced technologies are imported, the women are not prepared for the jobs generated by the new technologies, and do not have the chance to even use them. Thus the benefits of using new technologies are accrued almost exclusively by men.  If development efforts are to benefit all (or at least) the majority of the people, then a transformation of gender roles is necessary

abstract: After the discovery of the double-humped potential barrier, researchers have derived a host of expressions for the probability of tunnelling through such a barrier. It is generally believed that the penetrabilities obtained by using the various methods do not differ sufficiently to have significant effects on the analysis of experimental data on fission. However, some have expressed doubts concerning the use of the usual JWKB method and have offered improved approximate and Exact methods for developing penetrability expressions. This thesis is devoted to the quantitative comparison of penetrabilities from these expressions, and to the investigation of effects various methods will have on spontaneous and isomeric fission half-lives.  Results from the penetrability expressions are compared in relation to the pure vibrational state energy levels, level heights, resonance widths, and the probability of penetrating the full barrier from its ground-state deformations

abstract: This major report presents a practical study, in which the principles of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) are applied to elicitation of software requirements. For the sake of practical work, a commercially available software system called, GTCS (Groupware Tele Communication Software) is used.  Two major areas of research are summarised in this report. One is software requirement specification and the other is Computer Supported Cooperative Work. In eliciting the requirements of proposed software system, we identify three categories of participants: client, software developer, and typical intended end users of the software system. While developing the software requirement document, these three people will interact with each other. It is proposed that a group of co-workers will organise themselves into several small teams. In order to facilitate their inter working, the work space on the screen will be based on three windows, one for the private use, one for the local use within a team, and third for the global view within the group. Support for the groupwork based on three windows is discussed in this report for the above purposes.  As part of this report, the GTCS software system was implemented in a PC environment. Its application to the software requirement elicitation problem is demonstrated through an example.  Limitation of GTCS in its application of software engineering are analyzed and presented for the purposes of future product enhancements. Applications of Computer Supported Cooperative work to software engineering is a problem with too large a scope for a single project like this. Thus, potential avenues for further investigations are also given in this report.

abstract: We will study the action of a finite family, $\{ F\sb i\} \sbsp {i=1}{m},$ of contractive mappings on a compact subset of a complete metric space. The family $\{ F\sb i\} \sbsp {i=1}{m},$ is known as an iterated function system (IFS). Although many of the results presented here can be generalized to an arbitrary complete metric space, we will restrict ourselves to the metric space ($\IR\sp{n}$, Euclidean distance). Using the notion of Minkowski sausages, we will define a distance function, h (the Hausdorff distance), on the space of all compact subsets of $\IR\sp{n}$ denoted by ${\cal H}(\IR\sp{n})$. The pair (${\cal H}(\IR\sp n), h)$ forms a complete metric space in which we will establish the existence of a unique "point" ${\cal A}$ (compact subset of $\IR\sp n)$ satisfying the equation $\cup \sbsp{i=1}{m}\ F\sb i({\cal A}) = {\cal A}.$ We will explore various characterizations of the compact set ${\cal A}$ which is referred to as the attractor of the IFS $\{ F\sb i\} \sbsp {i=1}{m}$.  The topological properties of an attractor depend on the contractive mappings constituting the corresponding IFS. The main purpose of this study is to investigate conditions under which an attractor will have certain connectivity properties. Among these properties will be considered total disconnectedness, connectedness and arcwise connectedness. We will see that in fact, the notions of connectedness and arcwise connectedness coincide in the case of an attractor. Some other topological properties of attractors including property S, local connectedness and semi-local connectedness will also be discussed.

identifier: Clark, Richard  (1992) Consensus : a planning protocol for cooperating expert systems.  Masters thesis, Concordia University.

abstract: Planning is an important aspect of Distributed Problem Solving. Several approaches have been taken by researchers towards planning. In this thesis, we propose a distributed planning protocol titled Consensus. Consensus is useful in a situation where several expert systems cooperate to solve a problem. It is also applicable in solving ill-structured problems. The set of expert systems that plan using Consensus is called a Consensus Group. Each expert system in a Consensus Group makes a Proposal, from which the Final Plan is generated. The proposed protocol has a potential to minimize the cost of planning because negotiation is avoided. It is implemented and experimentally analyzed. For the purpose of analysis, four metrics were defined and a proposal generator was developed which simulates the expert systems creating their proposals. As a part of Consensus, three alternative heuristics were examined to overcome the computational complexity of a backtracking approach for the generation of the Final Plan. The experimental studies indicate the relative trade-off between the complexity of planning and the quality of the plan with respect to these heuristics. The experimental results and conclusions are presented in the thesis.

abstract: We know that the discursive production of 'unitary' subjectivities depends on the simultaneous inscription of "difference" and "otherness" which mark the boundaries of subjective categories. This process makes undifferentiated identity categories available for social and political discourses and practices of exclusion. Furthermore, the production of national identities has recently been shown to be articulated by a complex form of address which engages both discursive and performative aspects of subjective processes. This thesis examines a number of interlocking "narrations" of the Canadian nation at certain key sites of its regional articulation in western Canada, by analyzing a select number of discursive formations organized around western Canadian tourist and entertainment practices. Using the concept of "narrations" of nation, the thesis analyzes the discursive and performative elements of the formations in question, which, when articulated together, narratively inscribe western regional and national identities. By analyzing how the Canadian west imagines itself at these sites, this analysis makes evident the uneasy production of sexual and racial difference, inscribing an 'outside' with respect to the national 'inside', in the constitution of a regional/national unitary identity.  This study innovates in its use of an expanded definition of the performative aspects of subjective processes. The previously demonstrated applications of the term include the notion of the embodiment of social discourses by individuals, where social identity categories are incarnated by becoming-subjects, and the broader social application of the term, where the historical actions of social groups may be measured against historicist discourses of national pasts. This analysis expands on these notions to consider the public, properly dramatic, and deliberately staged type of performance as equally complicit in the process of constituting social identity categories. Examples are given to substantiate this argument. Furthermore, as the performative has also been theorized as a potential space of the disruption of narratives of identity, this thesis examines a number of performative sites where marginal identities, both contemporary and historical, are articulated to the dominant narratives discussed throughout

abstract: This thesis is concerned with the development of a supplementary controller associated with a Static Var Compensator for damping of low-frequency oscillations (0.05-2.0 Hz) which are normally present in power systems. The objective of this thesis is to demonstrate that with the use of load modulation, damping of intermachine and system oscillation can be increased.  The development of supplementary controllers requires that a simplified model of the system be available. In large systems this can be a difficult process. In this thesis a simplified approach is presented. It is based on fast fourier transform analysis of the response of the system in time domain from which a reduced order transfer function is determined. This analysis is carried out on a system similar to that of Hydro-Quebec. Classical control system design methods (root locus and bode plot) are then used to design the controller, limiting the analysis to the linear region. The extent of this region is defined in the thesis.  The design of this controller is carried out and its effectiveness demonstrated in the environment of Matrix$\sb{\rm x},$ a mathematical software package. It is then confirmed for the detailed system using in-house transient stability program.  The simulation results show the effectiveness of these controllers to damp the oscillations with the use of locally available variables. It is also shown that these controllers can be used to damp out the oscillations which may not be locally observable on the bus but are made available through the use of remote communication

identifier: Bogusz, Michael  (1993) Developments in the application of the geometrical theory of diffraction and computer graphics to aircraft inter-antenna coupling analysis.  Masters thesis, Concordia University.

abstract: This thesis examines the need for a systematic methodology for the analysis of aircraft electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems. It surveys the available computer aids used in aircraft EMC analysis and establishes the theoretical basis for the complex algorithms which identify and quantify electromagnetic interactions. The thesis presents an overview of one particularly well-established aircraft antenna-to-antenna EMC analysis code: the Aircraft Inter-Antenna Propagation with Graphics (AAPG) Version 07 (V07) software program.  The thesis discusses the specific new algorithms that have been created to compute cone geodesics and their associated path losses, and to graphically portray representations of the physical coupling path. These algorithms are validated against basic principles. Loss computations apply the Uniform Geometrical Theory of Diffraction (UTD) and are subsequently compared to measurement data.  The thesis assesses the increased modelling and analysis capabilities of the newly developed AAPG Version 09 (V09) against those of AAPG V07. Several models of a "real-world" aircraft, namely the Electronics Systems Trainer (EST) Challenger, are generated and are provided as the basis for this preliminary comparative assessment. Issues such as software reliability, algorithm stability, and quality of hardcopy output are also discussed. This comparative study opens several avenues for future research

abstract: This thesis studies different types of dimensions of attractors in low dimensional dissipative dynamical systems. Some of them can be calculated by looking directly at the attractor, other by looking at the system, taking or not into account a probability distribution. We give some simple examples to make the ideas clear, but the generalized baker's transformation is taken as a model for such studies. This transformation is used to illustrate some conjectures about typical chaotic attractor. This thesis may be considered as a partial report of the seminal article of Farmer et al (12)

identifier: Vallurupalli, Rama Krishna  (1993) Directional dynamic analysis of an articulated vehicle with articulation dampers and forced-steering.  Masters thesis, Concordia University.

abstract: Articulated vehicles are known to exhibit appreciable yaw oscillations during high-speed directional maneuvers. Excessive vehicle off-tracking of multiple axle semitrailers causes rapid tire wear and poor maneuverability at low speeds. The concepts in articulation damping and forced-steering of the semitrailer axles are investigated to achieve improved low speed maneuverability as well as high speed directional control performance of the vehicle. The concept of a damped articulation mechanism is introduced and its potential benefits in limiting the yaw and lateral oscillations of semi-trailer are investigated. Different force-steering algorithms are formulated to achieve both improved low- and medium-speed maneuvrability and high-speed directional control performance. A nonlinear yaw plane model of an articulated vehicle with a multiple axles semitrailer comprising two articulation dampers and forced-steering of a semitrailer axle is formulated. The cornering forces and aligning moments of a radial truck tire are characterized by a nonlinear function in normal load, side-slip angle and pneumatic trail. The damping forces and moments acting on the sprung masses due to the articulation dampers are derived from the kinematic and dynamic analysis of the articulation mechanism. The equations of motion of the vehicle are solved for typical low-speed cornering and high-speed lane-change and evasive maneuvers. A parametric study is performed to establish the influence of articulation damping coefficients on the magnitude of lateral and yaw oscillations of the semitrailer. The results of the study show that the yaw and lateral oscillations encountered during high speed directional maneuvers can be significantly reduced by the articulation dampers. The low- and medium-speed maneuvrability and high-speed directional dynamics of the vehicle are further investigated using forced-steering of a semitrailer axle, assuming proportional control and negligible generator dynamics. The results are discussed to highlight the influence of the location of the forced-steering axle, feedback variables and control gains. The study showed that a forced-steering algorithm based on articulation angle and speed sensitive articulation angle offers considerable potentials in realizing both the improved low speed maneuvrability and high-speed directional control performance.

abstract: The ability to distinguish permutation isomorphism classes of groups is an important step in the computation of Galois groups of polynomials over the rationals. In order to distinguish permutation isomorphism classes of groups, it is useful to have an extensive list of their invariants. These invariants include properties such as the order, imprimitivity, parity and shapes, as well as the orbit lengths of sets and sequences. Computing these characteristics can be extremely time consuming. In this thesis, a detailed description of efficient algorithms for solving the problem using the concept of expanding horizon and orbit computation is presented.
