abstract: This thesis is concerned with the problem of dynamic control of kinematically redundant manipulators. A robot manipulator is said to be kinematically redundant when it has more degrees of freedom than are necessary to accomplish a particular task. Kinematic redundancy in a robot manipulator is a desirable characteristic since such manipulators have increased dexterity and versatility due to their self-motion. However, kinematic redundancy in a manipulator's structure presents a challenging problem since the richness in the choice of joint motions for the same end-effector trajectory complicates the manipulator kinematics and control problems considerably.  The main objective of the work presented in this thesis is to design useful control strategies for kinematically redundant manipulators in order to enhance their performance to achieve the main task as well as the secondary tasks. In particular, in this thesis the following three problems are considered: First, following the impedance control approach, the problem of minimizing redundant manipulator collision impacts is addressed. The configuration control approach is used to reduce impulsive forces, while a simplified impedance control scheme is formulated to minimize rebound effects. Second, a new Cartesian control strategy for redundant flexible-joint manipulators, namely the hybrid Cartesian-joint control scheme, is proposed. The main idea in this scheme is to control not only the manipulator's end-effector, but also its links so as to achieve, specified positions and velocities for the end-effector and the links. Finally, a new application of kinematically redundant manipulators is proposed, namely, that of using redundancy resolution to compensate for joint flexibility. This redundancy resolution scheme is incorporated in a control strategy for redundant flexible-joint manipulators. The problem of possible algorithmic singularities is addressed, and a scheme is proposed which makes the controller robust with respect to such singularities.

abstract: Under the 1990 federal Museums Act, the National Gallery of Canada has a specific mandate to "preserv (e) and promot (e) the heritage of Canada and all its peoples throughout Canada and abroad, and (to) contribut (e) to the collective memory and sense of identity of all Canadians." This mandate is not taken lightly by the Gallery which conceives of its responsibilities not only in terms of the pedagogical dissemination of Canadian art to the world, but also in terms of the definition and legitimation of a specifically Canadian art practice.  This thesis unravels the threads of the Gallery's commitment to a national programme by examining the mechanisms through which discourses of art and of the nation are constituted and negotiated across the different elements which characterize the Gallery as an "exhibitionary complex." An inquiry into the Gallery's permanent collection of Canadian art and four temporary exhibitions of contemporary Canadian art on display at the Gallery between 1980 and 1992, will situate the ways in which these exhibitions constitute specific articulations of national identity and the aesthetic within the institutional frame of the National Gallery. The thesis argues that far from projecting a single discourse of Canadian identity in its display of Canadian art, the Gallery proffers often disparate views of Canadian cultural production, views that can be traced to the display practices of the Gallery's permanent collection and of its temporary exhibitions.

identifier: LeBrun, Margaret  (1993) Fieldwork supervisors as adult educators in geriatric and gerontological settings.  Masters thesis, Concordia University.

abstract: An increasing large population of elders living to four score years and more has prompted a call for educational institutions to prepare more professionals and paraprofessionals to work with elders. This study investigated adult education processes in fieldwork supervision in geriatric and gerontological settings in the Montreal Island area.  A two-part questionnaire formed the first step of a triangulation research methodology. Forty fieldwork supervisors responded whose group scores supported a collaborative teaching-learning mode as conceptualized by Gary J. Conti's central principles of adult learning. From the forty respondents, four supervisors working in a variety of agencies serving elders were selected for deeper inquiry through interviews and observations, forming the second and third triangulation steps.  The interview and observation findings showed additional support for a collaborative mode of teaching-learning. An incongruency between the survey results and the interview and observation findings was linked to emergent contextual fieldwork factors associated with experiential learning. Two other emergent factors were examined as a function of adult education occurring outside traditional classrooms.  In this study fieldwork settings were a significant variable in determining the transactive nature of teaching and learning. Future research of adult education processes is recommended for other professional fieldwork settings

abstract: A number of studies have been carried out to examine the effect of parapets on roof wind loading. Most of these studies have been carried out in the wind tunnel and rarely has an effort been made to study this effect in full-scale. A systematic and extensive research has been carried out in the present study to evaluate the wind loads on a full-scale building roof with and without parapets. The study has been carried out mainly on an Experimental Building located at Loyola Campus of Concordia University. In the first stage, wind loads were measured on a simple flat roof, and parapets were subsequently placed on the roof in order to study their effect. Wind-tunnel testing of a scale model of the building was carried out at the Building Aerodynamics Laboratory of the Centre for Building Studies. Mean pressure coefficients have generally been recorded for an open country type of exposure.  The analysis of experimental results indicates that for all different parapet configurations tested in full-scale, parapets reduce high suctions on the roof corner. However, results of wind-tunnel studies reveal that in the presence of parapets corner suctions increase for ratio h/L (height of parapet/building length) less than 0.02.  The study recommends that wind standards and codes of practice consider specifying pressure coefficients for roof corners with parapets in terms of h/L rather than h alone, as it is currently the case


identifier: Terzian, Rita  (1993) Fundamental and applied studies in heterogeneous photocatalysis : primary radical intermediates and kinetics of photo-oxidation of creosote phenolics.  PhD thesis, Concordia University.

abstract: Titanium dioxide, irradiated by ultraviolet/visible light was used to mediate the photocatalyzed degradation of several methylated creosote phenolics: ortho-, meta-, and para-cresol, 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- and 3,5-xylenol as well as 2,3,5-trimethylphenol. Total mineralization of the phenols to CO$\sb2$ and H$\sb2$O ensues as evidenced for m-cresol, 3,4-xylenol, and 2,3,5-trimethylphenol. The photo-oxidation of methylhydroquinone and 4-methylcatechol, two intermediates detected in the photodegradation of cresols, also leads to total mineralization to CO$\sb2$. The effect of such parameters as pH, initial phenol concentration, TiO$\sb2$ concentration, oxygen concentration and radiant power levels on the degradation of methylated phenols was examined in detail for m-cresol and 3,4-xylenol. The rates of photodegradation were found to increase as a function of pH and temperature. Concentration dependence experiments show the photo-oxidation process follows saturation-type behaviour. Intermediates were identified in these photo-oxidation reactions: these were typically methylated derivatives of dihydroxybenzenes or p-benzoquinone. Photochemical efficiencies (lower limits of quantum yields) were determined for the cresols and the xylenols; these were: 0.0096 (o-cresol), 0.0076 (m-cresol), 0.0104 (p-cresol), 0.0067 (2,3-xylenol), 0.012 (2,4-xylenol), 0.0074 (2,5-xylenol), 0.015 (2,6-xylenol), 0.0060 (3,4-xylenol) and 0.0067 (3,5-xylenol).  A practical case study was carried out using aqueous mixtures of coal tar creosote; irradiation of the solutions in the presence of TiO$\sb2$ resulted in the complete mineralization of the organic components (75 wt% C) to CO$\sb2$.  The reactions of xylenols and pentahalogenated phenols with $\cdot$OH radicals were examined in homogeneous solution using pulse radiolysis in order to identify the primary organic radicals formed. Reaction of $\cdot$OH radicals with 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6- and 3,5-xylenol yields exclusively the $\cdot$OH-adducts (dihydroxydimethylcyclohexadienyol radicals) as the initial products. 3,4-Xylenol reacts with $\cdot$OH to form both an $\cdot$OH-adduct and a phenoxyl radical. At pH $\le$ 8, the 3,4-phenoxyl radical is formed via H$\sb2$O elimination from the $\cdot$OH-adduct; by contrast, at pH $\ge$ 9, both radicals appear to form concurrently.  The principal products from the reaction of OH$\cdot$ with pentabromophenoxide and pentachlorophenoxide are the corresponding pentahalophenoxyl radicals; other products formed are the $\cdot$OH-adducts (dihydroxypentahalocyclohexadienyl radical anions), and the semiquinone radicals. The reaction of OH$\cdot$ with pentafluorophenoxide anion yields exclusively the dihydroxypentafluorocyclohexadienyl radical.  The sonochemical oxidation of phenol was also examined in aerated solutions. Major intermediates detected were hydroquinone, catechol and p-benzoquinone. In contrast with photo-oxidation, complete mineralization to CO$\sb2$ did not occur.

abstract: Generalized system modelling using finite element technique is examined in order that the dynamic behaviour of flexible robot manipulators can be studied. Most of the dynamic models currently used for robot motion simulation are restricted to open kinematic chains of rigid body elements. However, to improve dynamic performance, it is essential to take into account the structural mechanic characteristics of robot components. This thesis presents a general finite element model for flexible robots and validates them by simulation.  The kinematic equations are set up and the system kinetic and potential energies as well as their derivatives are obtained. Lagrange's formulation is employed and the generalized system dynamic equations which represent spatial performance are solved based on finite element analysis.  To validate the generalized equations developed for flexible robot manipulator, two sample simulations are carried out for 2-1ink and single link manipulators without and with torque. The responses are obtained, compared and discussed.

abstract: Foreign aid is a post-war phenomenon which was introduced to help the Third World countries to escape from the underdevelopment and poverty. The paper argues that foreign aid programmes originated as part of the ideological confrontation known as the Cold War and that the motives behind aid were always more political than economic. The objective of this paper is to portray foreign aid as the mechanism which explains the relationship between the rich and the poor nations in the world today, in other words, the paper explains the relationship between the Official Development Assistance and the level of development. The research is explanatory in nature. Both social and economic indicators were utilized to investigate the research problem. Because of the limited time factor, the immediate focus of the analysis was on Guatemala and Peru as case study. The study concludes that foreign aid retards and distorts the process of economic development of the recipient countries and results in dependence and exploitation. It also replaces domestic savings and flows of trade. It seems clear that most countries are economically dependent on the rich. Furthermore, in many ways the working of the international capitalist economy clearly intensifies the condition of dependence. Giving aid for development seems almost the exact reverse. Power does play a part in the relations between the rich and the poor. Turning to the future, foreign aid programmes are bound to change to reflect the new realities of global international relations.

abstract: Construction estimating works as the basis for various strategic decisions regarding the preparation of bid proposals, procurement plans, various levels of schedules, and job cost control. Under the highly risky environment of the prevalent competitive bidding practice, preparation of realistic estimates pertaining to those management decisions has been a complex task that is often performed on an ad hoc and piecemeal manner. Conventional procedures and tools have proved inadequate to provide a structured decision aid that, under such environment, maximizes the contractor's chances of winning a job with maximum potential profit, and further generates practical baseline plans needed for job control to maintain this profit. Yet the situation has been translated into a high percentage of business failures, a high potential for claims, and at best a low profit margin in the industry.  This research presents a methodology for an integrated cost estimation and bid preparation, with emphasis on the assessment of bidding risks and optimum markup estimation. The methodology utilizes available tools (algorithms, database management systems, and Al-based techniques) that can benefit from current industry practice and provide an adequate decision aid during bid preparation. The methodology facilitates integration among estimating, planning and scheduling, and bid unbalancing. It incorporates enhancements to the various functions that cover the quantitative aspects of an estimate including: direct and indirect cost estimation, planning and scheduling, and resource utilization. This enables detailed estimates of costs and durations to be generated for all the project tasks, with minimal redundancy and in less time. Such estimates also establish the baselines needed for efficient job control.  For practicality, the methodology accounts for the qualitative (risk-related) factors that play a vital role in the preparation of competitive bid proposals (e.g., competition, market conditions, and contractor keenness for the job). The methodology utilizes Neural Networks, an Al-based technique that employs a learning mechanism and emulates the human ability to solve pattern recognition tasks similar to many problems encountered in construction. This technique is introduced as a new tool to the industry, incorporating several potential applications. A neural network model is designed and used to arrive at an optimum markup value that maximizes that contractor's potential profit and predicts the probability of winning the job at such level of profit, in response to the project risk pattern. The methodology then utilizes the data obtained through the detailed estimate to optimally unbalance the final bid, in an effort to improve the contractor's cash flow while maintaining his competitiveness. A PC-based prototype is developed to automate the bid preparation process and an example application is presented in order to demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed methodology. The proposed integrated methodology contributes to current automation efforts in construction and its modular architecture allows for further enhancement and expansions. The developments made with respect to the markup estimation problem demonstrates the powerful capabilities of neural networks and the potential benefits of deriving analogy-based solutions to complicated construction problems that are characterized by high uncertainty. This approach could readily be utilized in other domains in construction management where solutions are based primarily on holistic analogy and traditional algorithmic solutions are inadequate

abstract: In 1870 a brief war between France and Prussia left France defeated and in chaos. Intellectuals of the day were caught unprepared for this disaster and reacted to it in different ways. Ernest Renan and Emile Zola remained in France during the war and the civil strife that followed. Civilians in a time of national disaster, both men took different views of the crisis. Renan saw himself as the "moral conscience of France," while Zola assumed the role of the young republican patriot. Although of completely different characters and background, they shared two qualities: morality and truth. Renan thought immorality was caused by the country's fall from religious grace, while Zola recognized the disaster as a result of immoral class differences. Renan and Zola were accused of anti-patriotic activities in 1870, charges which stemmed directly from their roles during the war and in the period following it. Neither one was a traitor or unpatriotic; rather, they both reacted in their own fashion: Renan in terms of religious morality and Zola in secular republican sentiment. Each man was particularly bound to his country and both proved able prophets of the future. Charges that Renan and Zola were traitors existed into the twentieth century with diverse factions in French political society using both men's 1870 activities to promote their own.
