identifier: Ferrante, Francesco  (1993) Interfacial slip of a quartz sensor in liquid.  Masters thesis, Concordia University.

abstract: The interfacial slip parameter is a complex-valued property of the interface between the solid surface of a quartz sensor and the liquid in contact with the sensor surface. It is introduced in the theory of the quartz-liquid system by generalizing the no-slip boundary condition. The interfacial slip parameter is defined as the displacement of a particle of liquid in contact with the sensor surface divided by the displacement of a particle on the surface of the sensor.  The theoretical expression for impedance of the sensor is derived in terms of the interfacial slip parameter. The impedance of the sensor is measured by the network analysis method for hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces in water-glycerol solutions. The experimental values of impedance are fitted to the theory by non-linear regression analysis to find the interfacial slip parameter. A mechanical model of interfacial slip is devised which explains the variation of the interfacial slip parameter with viscosity of the liquid. The results indicate that there is considerable slip in low-viscosity liquids, near the viscosity of water, and very little slip in liquids of high viscosity, near that of glycerol.

abstract: Friendship as a virtue has been an integral part of ethical discussions in philosophy. However, friendships between men and women have received little philosophical attention, and women were often denied this form of friendship on the basis of their sex. It is the intrinsic value placed on the friend, the direct concern for the other's good and a shared pursuit of goods that defines friendship as a virtue and gives it ethical value.  This thesis defends the argument that friendship between men and women can be a virtue. This defense is achieved through the critical analysis of classical theories about friendship, and the practical application of these theories to selected examples of friendship between men and women philosophers. In contrast, philosophical theories that argued friendship between men and women were not possible were also evaluated, and the philosophical basis of these theories was questioned. The examination of particular contemporary ethical theories disclosed specific insights into a philosophical conception of friendship. These theories provided a defense of a virtue-based ethics, and the relevance of friendship within such an ethic.  The importance of this topic for contemporary ethics is evident. Our current social problems easily attest to a distorted understanding of the relationship between men and women and the re-examination of this relationship has taken on a vital urgency. The conception of friendship as a virtue provides a different perspective from which to view our relations with others, and specifically between men and women

abstract: Constant-envelope Quadrature Pulse-Overlapping Modulated (QPOM) signals have good spectral properties suitable to applications using nonlinear or saturated power amplifiers. In this thesis we present a Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation (MLSE) receiver structure for QPOM signals and analyze its performance in both Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and fading channels.  The quadrature pulse-overlapping modulator is first decomposed into a linear encoder followed by a memoryless modulator. The trellis diagram representing this inherent non-redundant coding structure is then used to construct its MLSE receiver. The upper bounds on the average bit error probability in both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels are derived. Computer simulations are also used to verify the analytical results. Performance of the introduced scheme in fast fading, shadowed mobile satellite channels is also studied. Results show that this scheme outperforms conventional QPSK techniques in fading channels. While maintaining a low constellation density of 4PSK, its performance is comparable to those of 4-state 8PSK Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) schemes.  The performance of QPOM signals over fading channels can be further improved using some extra redundancy. Based on the new representation of the QPOM scheme, an external convolutional code is combined with the QPOM memory and considered as one entity to be optimized. This optimization is achieved by maximizing the minimum length of the shortest error event path through the trellis diagram of the equivalent code as well as the product of the squared branch distances along that error event path. The obtained structure is then applied to M-ary QPOM signals.  The constant envelope, compact spectrum, superior performance, and low complexity make the QPOM scheme a good choice for portable/mobile satellite communications to achieve the requirements of low cost, small size, and high power and bandwidth efficiencies

abstract: In this thesis, sugar transport regulation was characterized in terms of the expression and subcellular distribution of the glucose transporter (GT) in the V79 hamster fibroblast cell line, and in a respiration deficient mutant (G14) of the V79 cell line. In V79, increases in the plasma membrane GT content correlated with the stimulatory effects of insulin and glucose deprivation. In contrast, the 3-fold elevation in basal sugar transport observed in the G14 cell line did not coincide with any significant difference in either the whole cell or plasma membrane GT content when compared to V79--suggesting an enhancement of the intrinsic activity of the GT expressed in G14. A difference in the average molecular weights of the transporters was observable between the two cell lines, however. Treatment with endoglycosidase F or tunicamycin established that the G14 cell line exhibited a hyperglycosylated form of the same core GT protein expressed in V79.  In a second study, the dramatic down-regulatory effects of D-allose were examined in both the G14 and V79 cell lines. In both cell lines, however, D-allose treatment did not alter GT content in either the whole cell or plasma membrane fractions. In this case, a negative regulatory effect on the intrinsic activity of the GT is implicated.  The regulation of sugar transport through modulation of the intrinsic activity of the GT is a rapidly evolving theory. The continued study of novel instances of sugar uptake regulation such as these could provide clues as to the factors involved in such a mechanism.

abstract: Metacommunication (i.e., statements which define how subsequent behavior is to be understood) becomes more frequent with age in the pretend play of children 2 to 6 years old. The present study examined metacommunication which occurred during both pretend and literal free play in children between five and ten years of age. Because of the role of pretend play in development, it was hypothesized that metacommunication would involve more planning and reflect greater interpersonal awareness during pretend as opposed to literal play and with increasing age. Metacommunication was also expected to contribute to the complexity of pretend play, and to significant shifts in the dyad's play state. The behaviors of 128 children (64 boys and 64 girls, equally distributed between kindergarten through grade 3) were observed during one 20-minute free play session with a familiar partner. Verbatim transcripts made from the videotaped play session were coded on a turn-by-turn basis in terms of: (a) the type of activity (pretend play versus literal play versus other activities); (b) the level of social involvement (solitary activities versus social interaction versus shared activities); (c) the type of turn (non-verbal versus verbal non-metacommunicative versus metacommunicative) and type of metacommunication (e.g., planning and interpersonal focus); (d) the success of interpersonal influence attempts; and (e) the narrative complexity of social pretend play. Analyses indicated that metacommunication occurred significantly more often, and involved more planning and person-focussed statements during social pretend play as compared to social literal play. Shared play also involved more planning and partner-focussed statements than non-shared play, although few differences between shared pretend and literal play were noted. Communication during transitions from social literal to social pretend play, from solitary to social play, and from social to shared play were also significantly more likely to involve greater planning and person-focus. These results suggest that pretend play continues to be an important medium for the practicing of communication during the early elementary school years. The lack of age changes in the frequency and quality of metacommunication may reflect that the children in the present study may not have been experimenting with new communication skills as much as they were consolidating existing skills, or enjoying the sense of control which arises from the ability to verbally plan their activities. The results are also interpreted as suggesting that the collaborative nature of play becomes more important with increasing age than its fantasy nature in the development of planning and interpersonal awareness. Limitations of the present design and implications for future research are also discussed.

abstract: The debate over the orientation of modernization and development is one that has occupied scholars for over half a century. This thesis will explain how two main paradigms of modernization and dependency originated and of development models are inadequate as both focus on economic growth without considering social, cultural, and ideological values, or other national interests of security and citizen participation in society.  Strategies of developmental success and the differences between development and growth shall be explained in making a case for sustainable development. In this light, the historical, political, and economic evolution of Mexico will be surveyed with particular attention paid to its Maquiladora assembly plants. The objectives of this program, its industrial impact, work force characteristics, and working conditions will be comprehensively evaluated along with the social, environmental, and cultural effects it has had on the nation.  This thesis will argue that the proceeds from industrialization are insufficient to provide ample employment for all. By improving agricultural self-sufficiency through agrarian reform, many of the marginalized will return to the economic mainstream of Mexican society. Establishing rural workplaces and encouraging tertiary activities will further help mobilize and rebuild the countries labor base. By implementing an indigenous strategy that does not compromise the environment or deplete national wealth, Mexico can harness its large labor pool, utilizing its natural resources to great advantage in the International market place

title: Monitoring distributed systems

abstract: In debugging distributed programs a distinction is made between an observed error and the program fault, or bug, that caused the error. Testing reveals an error; debugging is the process of tracing the error through time and space to the bug that caused it.  A program is considered to be in error when some state of computation violates a safety requirement of the program. Expressing safety requirements in such a way that a computation can be monitored for safe behavior is thus a basic preliminary step in the testing-debugging cycle. Safety requirements are usually expressed as predicates. When a state of the computation violates such a safety predicate, that state can be said to be in error.  A predicate logic is proposed that permits the specification of relationships between distributed predicates. This increases the scope and precision of situation-specific conditions that can be specified and detected. It also permits the specification of safety primitives such as P unless Q using distributed predicates. Thus a distributed program can be directly monitored for satisfaction and violation of safety requirements.  Breakpoint conditions and predicates expressing safety may hold over a number of states of a program. A breakpoint state is meaningful if the causal relationships of events included in the breakpoint are unambiguous. At least two such states exist for each condition: the minimal and the maximal prefix of the computation at which the predicate holds. These states are specifiable as part of a breakpoint definition in the logic presented.

abstract: The main goal of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility and potential of recovering motion from a sequence of range images as an alternate solution to the complex motion problem. The work presented in this thesis can be divided into two separate parts. The first part describes the long term process, and the second part discusses the short term process.  The major problem for the long term process is to reliably find matching features in two or more successive images. An approach is proposed to establish the best match of point features between successive frames using a Hopfield neural network. A model is developed to convert the correspondence problem to the problem of minimizing an energy function, which occurs at the stable state of a Hopfield neural network. After establishing the feature matching, a $\delta$-bound matching concept is introduced to detect the reliable matching features, therefore increase the accuracy of the estimated motion parameters by removing the effect of mismatching features. In this way, the algorithm is tolerant to noise due to feature detection or occlusion.  For the short term process, the case of a single rigid moving object is first studied. A simple, yet powerful, algorithm is proposed to estimate motion of a single rigid object. The motion problem is modeled as solving a set of linear equations. A weighted least squares technique has been found to provide the best performance among several other versions of least squares techniques. Theoretical analysis on the necessary and sufficients conditions for the unique interpretation of the motion parameters and on the sensitivity of the estimated motion parameters to noise provides further insight into the behavior of the algorithm.  For more complicated motion such as nonrigid motion, the complete process can be viewed in two separate levels: low and high. In this thesis, attention has been paid to the low level processing. A 3D velocity field has been chosen to be the output of the low level stage. We first develop an algorithm which uniquely estimates 3D velocities of points on smooth surfaces by its first and second order partial derivatives, except at parabolic points. The algorithm is very fast and easy to implement in hardware or software. However, it does not provide reliable estimates of velocities near edge points. Hence we propose another algorithm, which is based on the correlation of the local structure of principal curvatures. The advantage of this correlation approach is that it can estimate velocities of both corner points as well as points on smooth curved surfaces, and vernier velocities of line edge points. The disadvantage is that it is computationally intensive compared with the approach for smooth surfaces. Therefore, we suggest that two algorithms should be combined together to give the best performance.  Many experimental results on both synthetic and real images are presented in this thesis.

abstract: A numerical study was made of imploding shock waves. The objective of the present paper is to clarify the propagation and instability of the converging cylindrical and elliptical shock waves. In order to make the simulation, a second order explicit MacCormack type finite difference method was employed to solve the unsteady compressible Euler equations. At first, a one-dimensional simulation was preformed for converging cylindrical shock waves. The results were found to be in good agreement with the Chester, Chisnell and whitham relation. Also, the numerical results were in good agreement with other published 1-D numerical simulations (e.g. method of characteristic).  A two-dimensional simulation was also developed for initially perturbed implosions. The governing fluid dynamics equations have been solved in polar coordinates. The 2-D scheme is an extension to the 1-D case, using the operator splitting, where the multi-dimensional solution is evolved from a factored sequence of one dimensional operators. From the two-dimensional study of converging cylindrical shocks, it has been concluded that although the shock has been perturbed initially in the azimuthal direction, it has a tendency to keep its continuous shock front curvature until it gets close to the centre. Eventually, at the centre a break down in the shock front is inevitable. Finally, for the elliptical shock the perturbation parameter ($\xi$) was found to vary with shock travel in a complex manner that cannot be represented by a simple power law. This finding is in good agreement with recent experimental results.

abstract: In order to adequately design a pavement system, attention must be paid to the subgrade. This thesis attempts to formulate such a design method based on the expected traffic volumes, the subgrade material properties, and material behaviour.  The methodology described in this thesis involves two main phases. The first phase develops a relationship between the vertical strain produced at the top of the subgrade and a combination of five axle loads and three base thicknesses. This relationship is based on constitutive equations and the finite element method. These fifteen relationships shown as strain contours are for a specific material, and can be used to find the critical strain for a given axle load and base thickness.  The second phase of this thesis deals with the development of a pavement design method using vertical strain contour charts. These strain contour charts have been developed using constitutive equations and the finite element method for different types of soil parameters and behaviors. This method then utilizes equations from the Asphalt Institute design method to determine base thickness and the life of the subgrade. Numerical examples of the design method have been provided.  A set of computer programs have been developed for the finite element analysis. These programs have been unified under a menu program (FINITE) and are capable of finding the stress-strain distributions in the subgrade
