Does The Critical Shields Stress For Sediment Transport Depend On Channel-Bed Slope?, Ishraq Alfadhli, Shu-Qing Yang, Muttucumaru Sivakumar
Does The Critical Shields Stress For Sediment Transport Depend On Channel-Bed Slope?, Ishraq Alfadhli, Shu-Qing Yang, Muttucumaru Sivakumar
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
This paper investigates why the observed critical Shields stress for incipient sediment motion deviates from the Shields curve. This deviation is often described in the literature as due to measurement errors and non-uniformity of channel-bed slope or flows. On the contrary, this paper hypothesises the deviation as due to the presence of vertical velocity in open channel flows. We found that the existence of vertical velocity in non-uniform flows can lead to the deviation of critical shear stress from the standard Shield's diagram that is valid only in uniform flows, and the channel bed slope could not contribute to the …
Quantitative Assessment Of Landslide Frequency Versus Magnitude Of Displacement, P N. Flentje, R N. Chowdhury, Anthony Miner, C Mazengarb
Quantitative Assessment Of Landslide Frequency Versus Magnitude Of Displacement, P N. Flentje, R N. Chowdhury, Anthony Miner, C Mazengarb
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Understanding landslide frequency is an important challenge in the process of the assessment of landslide risk. Importantly, from the perspective of landslide risk management today, this paper investigates the relationship between 'how often will a landslide move' and 'how far will it move when it does move'. Such relationships must reflect the continuum between the lower frequency 'catastrophic' type failures and the much higher frequency millimeter type magnitudes of displacement; and intervals along this continuum will likely have different management significance. So, when considering the frequency of landslide move-ment, the full question must be 'what is the frequency of a …

Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB) is a C11 PET tracer designed to bind to amyloid plaques, one of the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The potential of PiB as an early marker of Alzheimer's disease has lead to an increasing use of PiB and the development of several F18 equivalents. Quantitative analysis of PiB images requires an accurate normalisation, parcellation and estimation of retention in the brain's gray matter. Typically this relies on co-registered MRI to extract the cerebellum, compute the standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) and provide parcellation and segmentation for quantification of neocortical SUVR. However, not all subjects undergo MRI. …

Performance Analysis Of Distribution Networks Under High Penetration Of Solar Pv, M J. E Alam, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Darmawan Sutanto, L Elder, A Baitch
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) resources into distribution networks changes the normally expected network behaviour by injecting real power into the point of connection. Depending on the characteristics and setup of the PV inverter, reactive power could also be injected into the network. The impact will depend on the control strategy adopted for reactive power injection. Typically, solar PV units are installed at low voltage (LV) level in distribution networks. Cluster based installation of numerous PV inverters in the LV level will impact the operation of both the host LV network and the upstream medium voltage network. With random variations …

A New Formulation For The Geometric Layout Optimisation Of Flat Slab Floor Systems, Muhammad N. Hadi, Pezhman Sharafi, Lip H. Teh
A New Formulation For The Geometric Layout Optimisation Of Flat Slab Floor Systems, Muhammad N. Hadi, Pezhman Sharafi, Lip H. Teh
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
This paper presents a heuristic approach for the optimum layout design of multi-span flat slab floors in order to optimise the total cost. For this purpose, a heuristic methodology is developed in order to achieve a new objective function for the structural optimisation problem. The proposed objective function has the capability to make use of action effects of the structure as the alternative design variables in place of the commonly used cross-sectional ones. Such a feature provides the method with the ability to be easily employed in large and realistic structural optimisation problems. Furthermore, the proposed formulation, in an iterative …

Risk-Adaptive Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy Using Biological Objective Functions For Subvolume Boosting In Radiotherapy, Nicholas G. Hardcastle, Wolfgang Tome
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) for prostate cancer allows increases in tumor control probability while respecting normal tissue dose constraints. Biological optimization functions that optimize based on treatment outcome can be used to create SIB prostate plans. This study investigates the feasibility of biologically optimized volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for SIB prostate radiotherapy. Methods. Five prostate cancer patients with diffusion-weighted MR images were selected for analysis. A two-step VMAT optimization was performed, which consisted of an initial biological optimization of a static gantry angle delivery followed by conversion of the static delivery to a single arc VMAT plan. A dosimetric …
Self-Shape Optimisation Of Cold-Formed Steel Columns, Timothee Savoyat, Benoit Gilbert, Lip H. Teh
Self-Shape Optimisation Of Cold-Formed Steel Columns, Timothee Savoyat, Benoit Gilbert, Lip H. Teh
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
One of the main advantages of cold-formed steel profiles is the great flexibility of cross-sectional shapes, attributable to the manufacturing process allowing achievement of almost any desired cross-section. The cross-sectional shape is the key element in enhancing the strength of coldformed steel profiles as it controls the three fundamental buckling modes: local, distortional (for open profiles) and global. However, research on optimisation of cold-formed steel profiles has been mainly restricted to the conventional C, Z or Σ cross-sectional shapes and seldom new crosssectional shapes have been considered. This report presents the optimisation of cold-formed open columns using the recently developed …
Lateral Vibration Of Caisson-Pile Composite Foundation In Layered Soils, Maosong Huang, Rui Zhong, Qing Ren
Lateral Vibration Of Caisson-Pile Composite Foundation In Layered Soils, Maosong Huang, Rui Zhong, Qing Ren
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
The improvement of vibration characteristics of caisson foundation due to the piles added at the bottom is studied. Firstly, dynamic equilibriums for lateral vibration of caisson-pile composite foundation are created through the displacement coordination and internal force equilibrium s at the interface between the two parts of the caisson and piles. Vibration equilibriums for the part of caisson are created by external force balance with the utilization of dynamic Winkler model, and vibration characteristics of the part of piles are defined by the existing literatures. Secondly, the coefficients of dynamic Winkler model in vibration of caisson are studied, and improved …

Improved Hydrogen Storage Properties Of Mgh2 Doped With Chlorides Of Transition Metals Hf And Fe, M Ismail Ismail, Yue Zhao, Xuebin Yu, S X. Dou
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
The effects of HfCl4 and FeCl3 addition on the de/rehydrogenation properties of MgH2 were investigated. Both HfCl4 and FeCl3-doped MgH2 samples started to released hydrogen at about 270 °C, a decreased of about 70 °C and about 140 °C compared to as-milled and as-received MgH2, respectively. In terms of the desorption kinetics, the HfCl4-doped MgH2 sample showed significant improvement, with 6.0 wt.% hydrogen released within 10 min at 300 °C, while the FeCl3-doped MgH2 and undoped MgH2 samples released 3.5 and 0.2 wt.% hydrogen, respectively, under the same conditions. In terms of the absorption kinetics, 5.5 wt.% hydrogen was charged …

Backfire Manual: Tactics Against Injustice, Brian Martin
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
In 1991, protesters in Dili, East Timor were massacred by Indonesian troops. This turned out to be a political disaster for the Indonesian government, greatly increasing international support for the East Timorese independence struggle. The massacre backfired on the Indonesian government. The Backfire Manual explains why. Imagine you're planning an action and think you might come under attack. Maybe it's a rally and there's a risk of police brutality. Maybe you're exposing government corruption and there could be reprisals against your group. To be prepared, you need to understand the tactics likely to be used by your opponent, for example …

Indonesian mobility is often regarded as a present-day fact. In 2007 the number of Indonesians reported working abroad had reached 4.3 million, bringing in an income of US$6 billion in remittances (Widodo et al. 2009). By 2010 the numbers working abroad would have well passed 5 million, especially considering the numbers ‘smuggled’ across the Indonesian-Malaysian maritime borders
Sex And Censorship During The Occupation Of Japan, Mark J. Mclelland
Sex And Censorship During The Occupation Of Japan, Mark J. Mclelland
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
This chapter entitled “Sex and Censorship During the Occupation of Japan” is excerpted from Mark McLelland’s Love, Sex and Democracy in Japan during the American Occupation (Palgrave MacMillan 2012). The book examines the radical changes that took place in Japanese ideas about sex, romance and male-female relations in the wake of Japan’s defeat and occupation by Allied forces at the end of the Second World War. Although there have been other studies that have focused on sexual and romantic relationships between Japanese women and US military personnel, little attention has been given to how the Occupation impacted upon the courtship …

The economic, demographic and environmental shocks of recent years that have so profoundly shaped contemporary Japanese society have distinctive gendered dimensions.
The economic reality has shifted, but social expectations about the roles of men and women have been slower to change. Meanwhile, the demographic crisis is placing considerable burden on families and revealing the attendant risk of the ‘care deficit’ — in the home and in the face of disaster.

Interpodes: Poland, Tom Keneally And Australian Literary History, Paul Sharrad
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
This article is framed by a wider interest in how literary careers are made: what mechanisms other than the personal/biographical and the text-centred evaluations of scholars influence a writer’s choices in persisting in building a succession of works that are both varied and yet form a consistently recognizable “brand.”
Translation is one element in the wider network of “machinery” that makes modern literary publishing. It is a marker of success that might well keep authors going despite lack of sales or negative reviews at home. Translation rights can provide useful supplementary funds to sustain a writer’s output. Access to new …
How Academics Can Help People Make Better Decisions Concerning Global Poverty, Keith J. Horton
How Academics Can Help People Make Better Decisions Concerning Global Poverty, Keith J. Horton
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
One relatively straightforward way in which academics could have more impact on global poverty is by doing more to help people make wise decisions about issues relevant to such poverty. Academics could do this by conducting appropriate kinds of research on those issues and sharing what they have learned with the relevant decision makers in accessible ways.
But aren’t academics already doing this? In the case of many of those issues, I think the appropriate answer would be that they could do so much better. As an illustration, I examine the academic input into one decision about an issue concerning …
Frequent Flier Perceptions And Air Travel Satisfaction: The Airline Passenger Survey 2012, Erin E. Bowen, Brent D. Bowen, Dean E. Headley
Frequent Flier Perceptions And Air Travel Satisfaction: The Airline Passenger Survey 2012, Erin E. Bowen, Brent D. Bowen, Dean E. Headley
Airline Passenger Surveys
The Airline Passenger Survey is an annual survey of frequent fliers who visit the web site for the Airline Quality Rating. Since 2009, over 4,000 passengers have responded to researchers’ request to provide a consumer perspective on the quality of today’s air travel experience. Airline Quality Rating researchers at Purdue University and Wichita State University compare the consumer experience of air travel with the objective rankings of the Airline Quality Rating (www.airlinequalityrating.com). These detailed findings are provided publicly and periodically released to the media.

Development Of A Model Of Airline Consumer Satisfaction, Clay Wildt, Jennifer Kirschner
Airline Passenger Surveys
Historic research regarding the major commercial air carriers in the US have been based on subjective perceptions, satisfaction, and attitudes. Building upon 21 years of work with the National Airline Quality Rating, the present study attempts to move beyond basic descriptive information of air travelers to identify patterns and relationships in the way consumers view this risky, high technology environment. Development of such a model allows key players the ability to improve their understanding of the prime drivers and perceptions of passenger behavior. This quantitative model plays an important role in determining needs and priorities while outlining consequences of such …

Situating Sexual Violence In Rwanda (1990–2001): Sexual Agency, Sexual Consent, And The Political Economy Of War, Jennie E. Burnet
Situating Sexual Violence In Rwanda (1990–2001): Sexual Agency, Sexual Consent, And The Political Economy Of War, Jennie E. Burnet
Anthropology Faculty Publications
This article situates the sexual violence associated with the Rwandan civil war and 1994 genocide within a local cultural history and political economy in which institutionalized gender violence shaped the choices of Rwandan women and girls. Based on ethnographic research, it argues that Western notions of sexual consent are not applicable to a culture in which colonialism, government policy, war, and scarcity of resources have limited women’s access to land ownership, economic security, and other means of survival. It examines emic cultural models of sexual consent and female sexual agency and proposes that sexual slavery, forced marriage, prostitution, transactional sex, …

Fragmented Legislatures And The Budget: Analyzing Presidential Democracies, Charles R. Hankla
Fragmented Legislatures And The Budget: Analyzing Presidential Democracies, Charles R. Hankla
Political Science Faculty Publications
What impact does party fragmentation have on the likelihood of democracies to run a fiscal deficit? Past research is almost unanimous in finding that as the number of parties in a country's legislature or government grows, so does its probability of overspending. However, this finding is based largely on parliamentary systems, and there is no reason to believe that it should hold when executives are independent. In this article, I develop a theory for the impact of legislative fragmentation on budgetary politics in presidential democracies. I argue that unified presidential systems should tend most toward fiscal solvency but that increasing …
Rethinking The Political Economy Of Decentralization: How Elections And Parties Shape The Provision Of Local Public Goods, Raúl A. Ponce Rodriguez, Charles R. Hankla, Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, Eunice Heridia-Ortiz
Rethinking The Political Economy Of Decentralization: How Elections And Parties Shape The Provision Of Local Public Goods, Raúl A. Ponce Rodriguez, Charles R. Hankla, Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, Eunice Heridia-Ortiz
Political Science Faculty Publications
We investigate which political institutions will improve the delivery of public goods in decentralized systems. We begin with a formal extension of Oates’ influential “decentralization theorem” to include the presence of inter-jurisdictional spillovers. Our new model, which we term the “strong decentralization theorem,” indicates that, when spillovers are present, the impact of decentralization will depend on the structure of a country’s political system. More specifically, our model suggests that the interaction of democratic decentralization (the presence of popularly elected sub-national governments) and party centralization (the power of national party leaders over sub-national office-seekers) will produce the best outcomes. To test …
Alliances, John S. Duffield
Alliances, John S. Duffield
Political Science Faculty Publications
This chapter explores the concept and theories of alliances, paying particular attention to the question of alliance persistence and disintegration. After discussing what alliances are, the chapter surveys the scholarly literature on why alliances form and fall apart. It then reviews the somewhat puzzling case of NATO, which many observers expected would not long outlive the Cold War. The chapter asks how well existing theories explain NATO’s persistence and concludes with theoretically-informed observations about the alliance’s future prospects.
Oil And The Decision To Invade Iraq, John S. Duffield
Oil And The Decision To Invade Iraq, John S. Duffield
Political Science Faculty Publications
What role did oil play in the decision to invade Iraq in 2003? We still do not know exactly why the Bush administration went to war against Iraq, and we may never know. Certainly, no compelling evidence, either in the form of declassified documents or participants’ memoirs, has yet emerged indicating that oil was a prominent factor or constant consideration in the thinking of decisionmakers within the Bush administration. But oil is nevertheless critical to understanding the decision to invade Iraq and remove Saddam Hussein from power. Oil did not make a U.S. war against Iraq inevitable. But it did …
The Offenders’ Perspective On Prevention: Guarding Against Victimization And Law Enforcement, Scott Jacques, Danielle Reynald
The Offenders’ Perspective On Prevention: Guarding Against Victimization And Law Enforcement, Scott Jacques, Danielle Reynald
EBCS Articles
Law-abiding citizens are concerned with deterring and preventing crime. One strategy to accomplish this goal is to increase the costs and reduce the benefits that particular situations present to offenders. This form of crime control is known as situational crime prevention. Like law-abiding persons, offenders must concern themselves with being victimized. Differently, however, offenders must also worry about being detected and punished by formal agents. Thus, situational prevention from the offenders’ perspective is relatively complex, encompassing efforts to block not only opportunities for victimization but also for law enforcement. Building on the work of Clarke, the present study uses qualitative …

Regulations Concerning Immigration And Citizenship, C. V. Eberlin
The Bridge
Americans, both the native born and the immigrants, are proud of their country. It is their firm belief that there isn’t a country in the world where the working class is so well off and has such a good lifestyle as over here, that America has far less illness and fewer cripples than most other countries, that America, morally, is far above any other country, and that no other country can show the same degree of freedom, equality, and brotherhood than the United States of America.

Y Now: An Update Of Generation Y In The Municipal Workplace, Christopher Kalimootoo
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines whether the municipal corporate culture has adapted to Generation Y or whether Generation Y has assimilated into the municipal corporate culture. The conclusions presented are based on two surveys. The first survey was administered to municipal supervisors in Central and Southern Ontario to determine if their municipality has implemented the recommendations from the literature regarding the transition of Generation Y in the workforce, such as mentoring, feedback, and communication and the use of technology. The second survey was completed by Generation Y municipal employees in the same regions to determine their reaction to any workplace changes that …
