Stress is the feeling of emotional strain in response to a perceived threat that disturbs the homeostasis and affects our health and well-being. Short-term stress has some beneficial effects such as improving alertness and performance and boosting memory, but prolonged stress responses can have deleterious effects on human health, including tissue damage and disease. Thus regulating stress levels is important for dealing with difficult situations to mitigate negative impacts. Prevailing approaches to treating stress have some limitations and drawbacks. Slow breathing/Resonant frequency breathing or HRV biofeedback and Music Therapy are some of the widely used methods for dealing with stress and anxiety. These methods are thought to stimulate the vagus nerve that promotes autonomic balance and hence reduce symptoms of stress. The current study investigated the effects of relaxing music and Slow breathing/Resonance frequency breathing on heart rate variability and respiration as well as on subjective measures of perceived stress. Although relaxing techniques are often administered in group classes, research studies in groups are rare. To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the effects of music listening and slow breathing in reducing stress evoked by watching a stressful movie in a group setting. The study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of the aforementioned interventions in reducing stress, measured by psychophysiological and self-report measures. Thirty-two participants were recruited and randomly assigned to two groups (Music, Breathing). We hypothesized that after watching the stressful movie, the Breathing group would show greater physiological and self-report changes marking greater stress reduction compared to the Music group. Results indicated that slow Breathing affected perceived stress as well as HRV, whereas Music affected perceived stress, but had no significant effect on HRV. Also, results indicated that Slow Breathing and not Music reduced the complexity of heart and respiration signals. Moreover, the study found that respiration and heart rhythm synchronized maximally during slow breathing. The results suggest that the interventions studied in this research can be used as an effective stress reduction tool in a group setting.

▼ Conveying complex information using visualizations is becoming increasingly important for decision support as it allows stakeholders to critically evaluate and weigh different tradeoffs related to the sustainability of proposed designs (e.g ecological risks, aesthetic perceptions, habitat biodiversity). 3D and 4D visualizations are promising methods of visual communication in this context offering researchers and practitioners an expanded toolkit for engaging the public more broadly. The spatial and temporal accuracy of such visual representations increases a sense of presence allowing respondents to ‘experience’ different design scenarios more realistically. Despite a large body of research on the merits of including 3D and 4D visuals in decision support, there is limited empirical evidence of how a visual medium best creates presence and whether additional non-visual stimuli can contribute this realistic experience based on objective measure. Prior research has focused primarily on psychological responses to both multisensory simulations and the effect of different viewing hardware on experience. This study investigates physiological indicators (galvanic skin response) to assess participants responses to 4D visualizations. Participants (N = 39) were presented with digital animations via a conventional screen and virtual reality head mounted display, with two varied sound conditions (no sound and detailed sound) across three environments (community garden, playground, and woodlot). Perceived biodiversity, preference, realism, recreational value, arousal, and pleasure were assessed using a 1-5 Likert-type scale while simultaneously collecting GSR data. Results indicate biodiversity, preference, and pleasure were significantly impacted by sound and environment while Realism and arousal were only significantly impacted by environment. These findings advance our understanding of how new technology and multisensory stimuli can influence stakeholders and impact environmental decision making.

▼ All quantitative measurements have a degree of measurement uncertainty. While the term uncertainty can be essentially defined as doubt, measurement uncertainty in this sense instead inspires assurance in a quantitative value to a certain degree of confidence. Dating back to the advent of modern statistics in the 1700s, an international consensus on measurement uncertainty did not occur until the 1995 release of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), the fundamental document on the subject. The GUM was further adopted by major players in the field of measurement including the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), National Measurement Institutes (NMI), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and is used as the gold standard of documentary standards in labs around the country. Gunshot residue (GSR) patterns of distribution are used to establish a range of possible distances that the muzzle of the firearm was from the target in order to piece together a particular series of events. Using the firearm and ammunition that was involved in that particular crime, an analyst can perform test fires using fabric swatches attached to test panels at varying muzzle-to-target distances, generally every three to six inches between contact and 48 inches. This allows for the creation of comparable patterns of soot and GSR to the actual pieces of evidence. Because different distances can have considerably different residue patterns, it is important that a method for creating the test panels minimize uncertainty in order to be considered reliable and reproducible. When establishing a protocol for determining the measurement uncertainty in the creation of test panels, the two most important factors are the measuring device and a repeatability study. A measuring device, in this case a stainless-steel ruler, with metrological traceability reduces the measurement uncertainty because every value is reliable and traceable back to an original source. A repeatability study is then used to take numerous measurements over time under similar conditions. Using this data, statistical analysis can be applied to evaluate the standard deviations and uncertainties. A total of 238 measurements were taken by eight members of the Boston Police Department Crime Laboratory on eleven different days over the course of a month. The measurements were divided into eight baseline distances that the firing device, a Ransom Rest, had been set to: 3”, 6”, 9”, 12”, 18”, 24”, 36”, and 42”. The data was analyzed as a whole, as well as split into two groups: a group of four analysts who are proficient and authorized to perform GSR distance determination testing (Group A), and a second group of four analysts with no GSR distance determination training or experience (Group B). At a confidence interval of 95.45%, the reported uncertainty was found to be 0.082 inches for the total group, 0.045 inches for the group trained in performing GSR distance determination, and 0.043 inches for the group with no experience… Advisors/Committee Members: Brodeur, Amy (advisor).

The aim of this work was to map the requirements of extending the EEG recording bandwidth down to direct current (DC). Standard methods of clinical electroencephalography (EEG) are based on AC-coupled recording devices with a typical high-pass cut-off frequency at 0.5 Hz. Amplifier and electrode technology together with millivolt scale skin originated signals, have all rejected the recording of EEG signals down to DC. In the early days of EEG, high-pass filtering was introduced to prevent saturation of the amplifier, thereby making DC-stability an irrelevant topic in electrode and amplifier development. Occasionally, researchers have recorded EEG down to DC, but the needed technology and method(s) have never been widely known. This thesis presents solutions to overcome the above mentioned problems. Early invasive experiments have shown that a significant potential difference prevails between the brain and other body tissues. However, the clinical significance and the potential diagnostic applications of infra-slow EEG signals have been a subject of little interest. This study was carried out in order to develop a method that would, for the first time, make routine bedside recording of DC-EEG possible, and to apply it in the clinic. The work included construction of a multi-channel DC-EEG amplifier that meets medical safety specifications as well as the data acquisition and analysis software. Different types of commercially available EEG electrodes and gels were investigated. The obtained results clearly point to the combination of a chloride-containing gel and silver|silverchloride (Ag|AgCl) electrodes as a prerequisite of adequate DC-EEG recording. Due to the fact that significant infra-slow skin-borne signals could contaminate DC-EEG, the means of short-circuiting the signal source in skin were studied to find one that is practical in clinical applications. Two studies were carried out to shed light on the role of the blood-brain barrier and brain haemodynamics in mechanisms underlying DC-shifts. Finally, the developed methods were applied on preterm infants and on patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. Very slow activity patterns of potential diagnostic value were observed in preterm EEG, and DC-shifts were found useful in lateralization of the origin of temporal lobe seizures. Taken together, the results indicate that DC-EEG can now for the first time be applied as a routine bedside method, and that infra-low frequency EEG data have a promising diagnostic value.

▼ Anualmente o número de mortes com o uso de armas de fogo tem crescido e tornando a violência armada uma das maiores preocupações da sociedade atual. No que diz respeito ao uso delituoso de armas de fogo, uma importante ferramenta para a produção de prova material é a caracterização de resíduos de tiro (GSR, Gunshot Residue). Entretanto, nos dias atuais, os peritos criminais encontram grandes dificuldades para a sua caracterização de forma rápida e precisa, em especial quando o GSR é gerado por munição livre de chumbo (NTA). Neste trabalho o espinélio ZnAl2O4:TR3+ (TR = Eu, Tb, Dy, Eu-Dy ou Tb-Dy) foi utilizado como marcador luminescente para identificação de GSR. A luminescência do material, conferida pelos íons TR3+, associada a sua estabilidade térmica e química, foi utilizada para que o GSR pudesse ser identificado visualmente, coletado e submetido a análises complementares. Amostras de ZnAl1,95TR0,05O4 (TR = Tb3+, Dy3+, Eu3+-Dy3+ ou Tb3+-Dy3+) foram sintetizadas pelo método de combustão, caracterizadas óptica e estruturalmente e submetidas a testes de incorporação na munição (carga de projeção ou massa iniciadora/primer). Os resultados mostraram que foi possível visualizar facilmente as partículas luminescentes de GSR sobre as mãos do atirador, sobre a arma e no local do disparo, bem como nos suportes utilizados para os testes com primer sob radiação UV (254 nm). Estas partículas foram coletadas e analisadas por FTIR, Raman, Espectroscopia de Emissão e MEV/EDS. Observou-se que, por meio da adição do marcador, é possível caracterizar de forma inequívoca o GSR, mesmo quando produzido por NTA. A presença do marcador ZnAl2O4:TR3+ efetivamente confere uma assinatura química e óptica ao GSR que permite tal caracterização. Observou-se também que o uso de diferentes centros emissores permite a marcação seletiva da munição, abrindo perspectivas para uma futura codificação. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos com marcadores contendo Eu3+ ou Tb3+ e com alta cristalinidade. No tocante à estrutura todas as amostras apresentaram como fase majoritária o espinélio ZnAl2O4, e contaminação de ZnO.

▼ A análise das partículas de GSR (Gunshot Residue) é uma importante ferramenta no processo de perícia na área criminalística. As análises tradicionais de GSR estão baseadas na identificação de Sb, Ba e Pb, entretanto a utilização de munições livres de chumbo (NTA) faz com que as técnicas utilizadas tornem-se incipientes no processo de análise de GSR. Com isto neste trabalho é proposta a avalição de análise de imagens hiperespectrais na região do infravermelho próximo (HSI-NIR) associadas a técnicas quimiométricas para identificação e caracterização de GSR marcados com MOFs luminescentes (LGSR) como uma alternativa de análise de GSR. Os marcadores luminescentes usados foram os compostos ∞[Eu(DPA)-(HDPA)], ∞[Eu₂(BDC)₃(H₂O)₂], e ∞[Eu(BTC)(H₂O)], por apresentarem alta estabilidade térmica e química e elevada luminescência após o disparo (quando irradiadas no UV (λ =254nm)). Em geral, utiliza fita condutora de carbono para a coleta de LGSR, entretanto outros substratos tais como fita crepe, fita adesiva dupla-face, massa adesiva e fita de teflon foram também avaliados. Entre os substratos testados a fita teflon foi descartada por não apresentar boa aderência dos LGSR. A seleção do melhor substrato foi baseada na avaliação dos seus espectros, e em modelos de classificação utilizando a técnica quimiométrica de análise discriminante por mínimos quadrados parciais (PLS-DA). Observou-se que a PLS-DA apresentou dificuldades de identificação dos pixels contendo LGSR, tanto para os substratos fita dupla-face, devido a sua alta aderência que resultou na coleta de partículas contaminantes (advindas da arma, cartucho e mão), como para a massa adesiva por apresentar uma superfície com textura heterogênea. Com isso, a fita crepe foi considerado o melhor substrato no processo de classificação por PLS-DA. Em seguida foi avaliada a técnica de resolução de curvas multivariadas por mínimos quadrados alternantes (MCR-ALS) apenas com a fita crepe. Foi possível recuperar os perfis espectrais de cada MOF, bem como obter mapas de concentração compatíveis com a distribuição dos LGSR observada na imagem obtida por iluminação com radiação UV. Assim, a técnica HSI-NIR associada métodos quimiométricos mostra ter potencial para identificação LGSR de forma rápida e não destrutiva.

Parmi les patients souffrant d'épilepsie, particulièrement du lobe temporal (ELT), 30% restent résistants aux médicaments malgré l'administration optimale des traitements pharmacologiques. Le caractère imprédictible des crises est l’un des aspects les plus invalidants de la maladie. De plus, les troubles dépressifs et anxieux sont des comorbidités psychiatriques fréquemment associées à l’épilepsie et impactent encore plus négativement la qualité de vie que les crises. Les approches par biofeedback, ont démontré leur efficacité dans le contrôle des crises. Une thérapie par biofeedback sur la conductance cutanée (GSR biofeedback) a montré son efficacité sur les symptômes psychiatriques. Cependant, les mécanismes sous-tendant l’efficacité sur ces symptômes restent peu connus. L’objectif de cette thèse est de mieux comprendre ces mécanismes. Deux pistes sont explorées : une physiologique dans laquelle il existerait un effet direct du GSR biofeedback sur la régulation physiologique des émotions ; une attentionnelle, dans laquelle il y aurait un effet indirect de l’entraînement sur le contrôle de l’attention. Les études menées ont permis de montrer que les patients avec ELT présentent des réponses électrodermales aux émotions plus faibles que des témoins, mais qu'elles ne sont pas plus élevées après des séances de GSR biofeedback. En revanche, l’amélioration des symptômes anxieux et dépressifs est liée à des modifications du traitement attentionnel des informations menaçantes. Le GSR biofeedback en améliorant le contrôle attentionnel induirait une diminution de la vigilance face à la menace, conduisant à une réduction de la vulnérabilité émotionnelle chez ces patients.

Among patients with epilepsy, particularly temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), 30% remain drug-resistant despite optimal administration of pharmacological treatments. The unpredictability of seizures is one of the most disabling aspects of the disease. In addition, depressive and anxiety disorders are psychiatric comorbidities frequently associated with epilepsy and have a greater negative impact on quality of life than seizures. Biofeedback approaches have been shown to be effective in controlling seizures. A biofeedback therapy on skin conductance (GSR biofeedback) has shown its efficacy on psychiatric symptoms. However, the mechanisms underlying this efficacy remain poorly understood. The objective of this thesis is to better understand these mechanisms. Two tracks are explored: a physiological one in which there is a direct effect of GSR biofeedback on the physiological regulation of emotions; an attentional one, in which there would be an indirect effect of the training on the control of attention. The studies presented have shown that TLE patients have weaker electrodermal responses than controls but that they are not higher after GSR biofeedback sessions. In contrast, the improvement of anxiety and depressive symptoms is related to changes in the attentional processing of threatening information. GSR biofeedback by improving attentional control would…

▼ Astyanax scabripinnis é uma espécie encontrada na Região Neotropical, essa espécie forma demes populacionais isolados em cabeceiras de riachos. Ela é taxonomicamente mal resolvida, mas se apresenta como interessante modelo para o estudo da presença de cromossomos B. A ocorrência desses cromossomos em A. scabripinnis pode estar associada a diversos fatores ambientais e populacionais, embora seja pouco esclarecido sobre a manutenção parasítica ou possíveis efeitos heteróticos desses cromossomos. A biologia reprodutiva relacionada à presença de cromossomo B em A. scabripinnis nunca foi abordada. Assim, foi objeto deste trabalho investigar se aspectos do processo reprodutivo, fundamental para o valor adaptativo, podem estar relacionados à presença de cromossomos B em A. scabripinnis. As coletas foram realizadas trimestralmente entre os anos de 2012 e 2013 na região de Campos do Jordão, São Paulo, Brasil (2240`49,5S, 4523`31,9 W), no Córrego da Fazenda Lavrinha, bacia do rio Paraíba do Sul. As gônadas foram classificadas macro e microscopicamente segundo estádios de desenvolvimento. Estabeleceu-se sazonalmente a proporção sexual da população nas diferentes amostragens. Foi calculada a relação gonadossomática (RGS) e a relação hepatossomática (RHS) separadamente para fêmeas com e sem cromossomo B. A presença de cromossomos B foi confirmada por meio da citogenética clássica e molecular com o emprego de sonda específica do cromossomo B construída por microdissecção cromossômica e amplificação por Degenerated Oligonucleotids Primers (DOP-PCR) e posterior hibridação fluorescente in situ (FISH). Análises de morfometria geométrica foram realizadas separadamente para fêmeas e machos com e sem a presença de cromossomos B. Os resultados indicam que a proporção sexual variou sazonalmente havendo um aumento do número dos machos em relação às fêmeas. Foram encontrados indivíduos hermafroditas na frequência de 7,7%. O período reprodutivo é caracterizado por um pico de reprodução atípico no período do inverno, além do período padrão observado a partir da primavera no mês de setembro. A presença de cromossomos B foi relacionada a possíveis estratégias reprodutivas distintas na população estudada, especialmente em relação ao aporte energético e estádios de desenvolvimento gonadal. Há diferenças morfométrica tanto entre indivíduos fêmeas e machos como entre indivíduos com e sem cromossomo B.

▼ Gunshot primer residue (P-GSR) is released from the openings of a firearm when it is discharged12,13. P-GSR is made of microscopic particles that are considered characteristic of being derived from firearm ammunition when composed of barium (Ba), lead (Pb), and antimony (Sb) and have the correct morphology4. Morphology describes the shape of the P-GSR particle, which can be spherical, irregularly shaped, and must be non-crystalline. Forensic labs are commonly requested to test for the presence of P-GSR on evidential items, such as hands, clothing, vehicles, and gloves, in order to provide circumstantial evidence showing that they were, in some way, possibly involved with a shooting. Occasionally these evidential items are also expected to undergo fingerprint processing to potentially link someone to a crime. Latex gloves are often utilized in the commission of a crime with the impression that fingerprints cannot be left behind, however latent prints can often be developed on this non-porous material. Due to the evidential value of fingerprints and in order to ensure that potential prints are not damaged during P-GSR collection, latent print development is routinely performed first. Considering that P-GSR particles are easily dislodged, it is possible that some loss of P-GSR may occur during latent print processing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of processing a non-porous item for latent fingerprints on the subsequent recovery and detection of P-GSR. Latex gloves were worn during the discharge of either a pistol or a revolver and then processed for latent prints by undergoing cyanoacrylate fuming followed by either white powder or yellow dye. The latex gloves were then sampled for P-GSR using aluminum stubs containing an adhesive coating which were dabbed over the gloves until they loss their tackiness. The stubs were then carbon coated using a Denton Vacuum Desk IV in order to prevent charging in the analytical instrument. Utilizing a JEOL JSM-6460LV Scanning Electron Microscope (JEOL USA Inc., Peabody, MA coupled with an EDAX Apollo X Analyzer (EDAX Inc., Mahwah, NJ) and EDAX Genesis GSR Software, the stubs were processed for three-component particles characteristic of P-GSR. It was determined that P-GSR can still be recovered on latex gloves after undergoing latent print processing involving cyanoacrylate fuming followed by either white powder or yellow dye processing. Three-component particles were found on both the interior and exterior of the latex gloves after being processed for latent prints. On average, 33 P-GSR particles were found on the exterior of the gloves and four P-GSR particles were found on the interior of the gloves. Although significantly less were found on the interior of the gloves (<10), it is recommended that both sides of gloves be stubbed when collecting P-GSR for the greatest chances of collecting three-component particles if they are in fact present on a pair of gloves. Although more particles were found on the gloves that were not… Advisors/Committee Members: Botch-Jones, Sabra (advisor).

Self-driving cars is considered the next major step in the automotive industry and with automation in passenger vehicles, the driver can benefit from the freed up time for leisure or work, as he or she becomes the passenger. However, this is only possible if the drivers are comfortable during automated driving. The major issue here, is that the susceptibility of motion sickness (MS) increases significantly when the driver does not have his or her eyes on road, this susceptibility needs to be minimized. However, motion sickness is not clearly understood and assessing it has been traditionally done qualitatively with questionnaires. Because of the highly individual and subjective nature of motion sickness and its symptoms, it is hard to quantify it accurately by questionnaires. To minimize and prevent motion sickness, it is beneficial to measure it quantitatively in different ways in addition to the traditional questionnaire. This thesis explores and investigates the use of physiological measurements, ECG and GSR, to relate motion sickness in a realistic driving experiment. Hence, a road test is conducted for this study with a Toyota Prius on a closed road. A slalom course was driven with a speed 25 km/h to reach lateral accelerations up to 0.4G with a lateral frequency of 0.175 Hz. This frequency and velocity has been chosen, because it is known that people are the most sensitive for MS of frequencies near 0.2 Hz and this velocity reflects urban driving. 23 participants took part of the experiment and had their ECG, GSR and their MISC (Misery scale, an illness rating) recorded during the drive. The experiment lasted until MISC rating 7 (=medium nausea) or either 30 minutes was completed. The ECG (HR, LF/HF ratio) and GSR (skin conductance level SCL, skin conductance response SCR) recordings were then compared to the MISC ratings to see if there was a significant difference between the participants who got sick and stopped at MISC 7 (sensitive) and the participants who did not get sick (non-sensitive). The results show little support correlating motion sickness or even to distinguish sensitive and non-sensitive groups with HR, HRV or GSR data. It might be beneficial to categorize people into different sensitivity profiles for MS susceptibility to make HR information more useful as there is too much of individual differences. Currently, there were few to none road tests done regarding motion sickness. It appears that physiological measurements for predicting MS in vehicles are not as straightforward and do not translate well from other types of laboratory tests to realistic road tests. Not to mention that HRV has become a controversial metric in the recent decade that might need to be re-evaluated for use.

▼ GSR ou Gunshot Residues são partículas microscópicas de resíduos provenientes da descarga de uma arma de fogo e que, em geral, ficam depositadas pelo corpo do atirador e aos arredores da cena do crime. Este trabalho tem como objetivo empregar as técnicas de PIXE (Particle-Induced X-ray Emission) convencional e -PIXE na análise da munição e GSR gerados por disparo de arma de fogo, utilizando munição de fabricação brasileira. O estudo foi dividido em duas etapas, sendo que na primeira etapa foi utilizada a técnica PIXE no estudo da composição elementar de todos os componentes (estojo, espoleta, pólvora, projétil e camisa) de dois cartuchos distintos virgens, ou seja, antes do disparo com a arma de fogo. Na segunda etapa foram efetuados os ensaios de disparo com arma de fogo, utilizando os mesmos tipos de cartuchos analisados na primeira etapa. As partículas foram coletadas e analisadas por μ-PIXE. As amostras foram irradiadas com feixes de prótons, empregando diferentes parâmetros (energia e corrente), o que depende das amostras em estudo e da técnica utilizada. Para tal fim, foi utilizado o acelerador Tandetron (modelo TN-4130-HC) disponível no Laboratório de Implantação Iônica (IF-UFRGS). Dois diferentes tipos de munição foram analisadas: CHOG e EXPO +P+. Os elementos presentes nas amostras de espoleta de ambos os tipos de munição são o alumínio, antimônio, bário e chumbo, e em menores quantidades cobre, zinco e ferro (invólucro), além de níquel no caso da munição EXPO +P+. Ambos os estojos são constituídos por cobre e zinco, apresentando adicionalmente uma grande quantidade de níquel e um pouco de ferro na munição EXPO +P+. No projétil da munição CHOG os elementos predominantes são chumbo e antimônio, além de apresentar alumínio e ferro em menores quantidades. Na munição EXPO +P+ o projétil também é constituído por chumbo, antimônio e alumínio, mas o ferro é substituído pelo cobre. As amostras de pólvora de ambos os tipos são compostas por alumínio, silício, enxofre, potássio, cálcio, titânio, cromo, níquel, ferro, cobre e zinco, e essas quantidades foram diferentes para cada tipo de munição. A pólvora CHOG apresentou bário e chumbo adicionalmente. Por último, a camisa do projétil da munição EXPO +P+ apresentou cobre, zinco, níquel, chumbo e ferro. Estes resultados são em maioria condizentes com as especificações do fabricante, a Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos – CBC. Para a coleta das amostras de GSR, foram efetuados disparos em um anteparo de papel, onde foi fixada uma fita microporosa da marca Missner. Neste estudo, foram utilizados os dois tipos de munição analisados por PIXE. Nos dois tipos de partículas coletadas, foi possível correlacionar a presença de Ba, Pb e Sb na mesma partícula, sendo inequivocamente caracterizadas como partículas de GSR. No entanto, os resíduos apresentaram diferentes características e particularidades. Em partículas do tipo CHOG as principais características observadas foram a diferença de tamanhos, homogeneidade (exceto em alguns pontos) e ausência de formato característico.

▼ This study examined the association of the experience of emotion and somatic changes. The study compared reported somatic changes generally experienced when anxious with the actual association of the experience of emotion and somatic changes as measured during a specific event. Emotions were measured as both general negative emotion as well as specific emotions: anger, disgust, fear, sadness and shame. Participants were volunteers from a Victorian university who agreed to watch a video depicting the dramatisation of child abuse. Throughout the video, participants indicated their experience of emotion. Measures were also taken throughout the procedure of facial expression and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR). In order to examine emotional-congruence, subjects were divided into three groups. These groups were divided according to the congruence of subjects’ experienced emotion with autonomic changes and facial expressivity. Groups were divided separately for each of the emotion types. Where there was little difference between the reported experience of emotion and that, which would have been expected from the observed somatic changes, the subject was deemed to be in the Congruent Group. Subjects whose reported experience of emotion was greater or less than would be expected from observed somatic changes were allocated to the Over-reporter and Under-Reporter Groups respectively. This data was then compared to participants’ reports of the number of somatic symptoms usually experienced when anxious. It was found that participants who under-report the experience of general negative-emotion compared with their observed somatic changes (both GSR and facial expressivity) had lower trait-somatic-anxiety (reported fewer somatic symptoms usually experienced when anxious). There was no significant difference between the Congruent Group and Over-Reporter Group. The Under-Reporter Groups had significantly lower trait-somatic-anxiety than the Congruent Group when emotional-congruence was defined by fear and GSR, anger and GSR and sadness and facial expressivity. The actual association of shame and disgust with either somatic change, sadness with autonomic change and anger and fear with facial expressivity was unrelated to the number of somatic symptoms reported to be usually experienced when anxious. The results supported the idea that subjective reports of the number of somatic symptoms reported to be usually experienced when anxious reflect the actual association of somatic change and experience, but with limitations. The actual association of experience of fear with autonomic change seems to reflect the number of somatic symptoms reported to be usually experienced when anxious more than other emotions. Further for those for whom the experience of anger and negative-emotion has a greater association with somatic change, there was a greater number of somatic symptoms reported to be usually experienced when anxious. This would suggest that some people have a greater association of some experiences of emotion and somatic…

▼ This study examined the difference that participation or nonparticipation in the academic excellence commitment area of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills program had on the academic progress and graduation success of Division I-FBS football teams. A quantitative non-experimental study was conducted on a primary population of 116 Division I-FBS football teams and a secondary population of all athletes at these institutions. The football teams were examined by conference participation and nonparticipation subgroups from 11 of the 12 Division I-FBS conferences, by football teams, and by African-American and Caucasian football player ethnic groups. GSR data for the football teams and all athletes were collected from the 2008 Federal Graduation Reports (FGR) on the NCAA website. APR data for the football teams were collected from the 2008 APR reports on the NCAA website. An independent samples t test was used to analyze the difference between participation and nonparticipation conference subgroups and football teams and their GSRs and football teams and their APRs. A 2 x 2 ANOVA was conducted to analyze the difference between African-American and Caucasian participation and nonparticipation groups and their GSRs. A one-way ANOVA was used to analyze the difference between all athlete participation and nonparticipation groups and their GSRs. The hypothesized significant difference in higher graduation success, as measured by the GSR, between conference subgroups, football teams, African-American and Caucasian ethnic groups and all athletes who had actively participated in the academic excellence commitment area of the CHAMPS program and those who did not participate in the academic excellence commitment area was not supported. Analysis of the t test for conference subgroups showed no statistically significant difference between participation or nonparticipation and the graduation success of these groups, as measured by the GSR. Analysis of the t tests for football teams suggested no statistically significant difference between participation and nonparticipation and their graduation success or academic progress, as measured by the GSR and APR, respectively. Analysis of the 2 x 2 ANOVA for African-American and Caucasian football player ethnic groups suggested no statistically significant difference between participation or nonparticipation and the graduation success of these groups, as measured by the GSR. However, the 2 X 2 ANOVA for African-American and Caucasian football player ethnic groups did support the findings of previous research that showed statistically significant gaps between the graduation success of African-American and Caucasian football players. Examination of all athletes at these institutions using one-way ANOVA suggests no statistically significant difference between participation and nonparticipation and their graduation success, as measured by the GSR. Additional findings based on the GSR of all athletes without football players show no statistically… Advisors/Committee Members: Gwendolyn Lee-Thomas, Dennis Gregory, Ginger Watson.

▼ The rise of internet connected devices has enabled the home with a vast amount of enhancements to make life more convenient. These internet connected devices can be used to form a community of devices known as the internet of things (IoT). There is great value in IoT devices to promote healthy independent living for older adults. Fall-related injuries has been one of the leading causes of death in older adults. For example, every year more than a third of people over 65 in the U.S. experience a fall, of which up to 30 percent result in moderate to severe injury. Therefore, this thesis proposes an IoT-based fall detection system for smart home environments that not only to send out alerts, but also launches interaction models, such as voice assistance and camera monitoring. Such connectivity could allow older adults to interact with the system without concern of a learning curve. The proposed IoT-based fall detection system will enable family and caregivers to be immediately notified of the event and remotely monitor the individual. Integrated within a smart home environment, the proposed IoT-based fall detection system can improve the quality of life among older adults. Along with the physical concerns of health, psychological stress is also a great concern among older adults. Stress has been linked to emotional and physical conditions such as depression, anxiety, heart attacks, stroke, etc. Increased susceptibility to stress may accelerate cognitive decline resulting in conversion of cognitively normal older adults to MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment), and MCI to dementia. Thus, if stress can be measured, there can be countermeasures put in place to reduce stress and its negative effects on the psychological and physical health of older adults. This thesis presents a framework that can be used to collect and pre-process physiological data for the purpose of validating galvanic skin response (GSR), heart rate (HR), and emotional valence (EV) measurements against the cortisol and self-reporting benchmarks for stress detection. The results of this framework can be used for feature extraction to feed into a regression model for validating each combination of physiological measurement. Also, the potential of this framework to automate stress protocols like the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) could pave the way for an IoT-based platform for automated stress detection and management.

▼ Fatalities due to road accidents are mainly caused by distracted driving. Driving demands continuous attention of the driver. Certain levels of distraction while driving can cause the driver to lose his/her attention which might lead to a fatal accident. Thus, early detection of distraction will help reduce the number of accidents. Several researches have been conducted for automatic detection of driver distraction. Many previous approaches have employed camera-based techniques. However, these methods might detect the distraction rather late to warn the drivers. Although neurophysiological signals using Electroencephalography (EEG) have shown to be another reliable indicator of distraction, EEG signals are very complex, and the technology is intrusive to the drivers, which creates serious doubt for its implementation. In this thesis we investigate a non-intrusive physiological measure-Galvanic Skin Responses (GSR) using a wrist band wearable and conduct an empirical characterization of driver GSR signals during a naturalistic driving experiment. The proposed method is used to evaluate and extract statistical, frequency and time domain features to identify distraction. Also, several data mining techniques such as feature selection, feature-ranking, dimensionality reduction and feature space analysis are performed to generate discriminative bases that reduce the computational complexity for efficient identification of distraction using supervised learning. A signal processing technique: continuous decomposition analysis, exclusive for skin conductance signal was investigated to better understand the behavior of raw signal during cognitive and visual over load from secondary tasks while driving. The proposed driver monitoring and identification system on the edge provided evident results using GSR as a reliable indicator of driver distraction while meeting the requirement of early notification of distraction state to driver.

▼ Duas metodologias distintas foram desenvolvidas para a determinação de chumbo em Resíduos de Disparos de Armas de Fogo (RDAF) utilizando microeletrodo de ouro. Na primeira delas, a superfície eletródica foi modificada com filme de bismuto em meio alcalino (pH = 13) e na outra as análises foram realizadas com microeletrodo não modificado em meio ácido com cloreto. Os RDAF foram coletados do alvo atingido pela bala e das mãos do atirador. Dos alvos, foi recortada uma região próxima ao orifício feito pela bala. Já para remoção dos RDAF das mãos do atirador, foi utilizado um algodão embebido em solução de EDTA 2% (m/v). Os resíduos foram submetidos a um processo de extração que consistiu em adicionar 10 mL de solução de HNO3 10% (m/m) ao frasco contendo o alvo ou o algodão com os RDAF. Em seguida, a mistura foi submetida ao ultrassom por 2 horas a uma temperatura de 60°C. As amostras provenientes dos alvos foram analisadas com o microeletrodo de ouro modificado com bismuto em meio alcalino por voltametria de redissolução anódica. Com essa metodologia, obteve-se um limite de detecção (3σ/sensibilidade) de 12,5 nmol L-1, uma faixa linear entre 40 e 6700 nmol L-1 e um desvio padrão relativo de 3,4% (n = 12). Foi possível analisar amostras provenientes de duas armas diferentes (pistola 9 mm e revólver 0.38 polegadas) e três munições distintas (normal, spl® e CleanRange®). Constatou-se um aumento da quantidade de chumbo presente nos resíduos à medida que o atirador se aproxima do alvo e que os valores dependem da arma e munição utilizadas. Com a outra metodologia as análises foram realizadas na própria solução extratora, com adição de cloreto, sem qualquer modificação da superfície eletródica. Neste caso, o limite de detecção (3σ/sensibilidade) encontrado foi de 1,7 nmol L-1, a faixa linear ficou entre 10 e 100 nmol L-1 e o desvio padrão relativo de 10 medidas foi 2,5%. Foram analisados resíduos provenientes das mãos dos atiradores de quatro diferentes armas (revólver 0.38 polegadas, espingardas calibre 12, 22 e 38) e de seis diferentes munições (CleanRange®, normal, semi-enjaquetada, 3T®, Eley® e CBC®). Os resultados obtidos com a metodologia proposta foram comparados com aqueles oriundos de análise por espectroscopia de absorção atômica e houve concordância em um nível de confiança de 95%. Foi também realizada uma análise quimiométrica das soluções contendo os RDAF. Os resultados mostraram a possibilidade de discriminação em relação à arma e munição utilizadas. Os filmes formados nas superfícies eletródicas foram estudados utilizando o Microscópio Eletroquímico de Varredura (SECM), a Microbalança Eletroquímica de Cristal de Quartzo (MECQ) e o Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura (MEV). A deposição dos filmes de bismuto, chumbo e bismuto/chumbo em meio alcalino ocorre de forma heterogênea e esses filmes reagem com oxigênio e ferricianeto. Em meio ácido, a presença do cloreto na solução de depósito do filme de chumbo provoca aumento na rugosidade do filme, com consequente melhoria no sinal analítico.

▼ User-centered computer based learning is an emerging field of interdisciplinary research. Research in diverse areas such as psychology, computer science, neuroscience and signal processing is making contributions the promise to take this field to the next level. Learning systems built using contributions from these fields could be used in actual training and education instead of just laboratory proof-of-concept. One of the important advances in this research is the detection and assessment of the cognitive and emotional state of the learner using such systems. This capability moves development beyond the use of traditional user performance metrics to include system intelligence measures that are based on current neuroscience theories. These advances are of paramount importance in the success and wide spread use of learning systems that are automated and intelligent. Emotion is considered an important aspect of how learning occurs, and yet estimating it and making adaptive adjustments are not part of most learning systems. In this research we focus on one specific aspect of constructing an adaptive and intelligent learning system, that is, estimation of the emotion of the learner as he/she is using the automated training system. The challenge starts with the definition of the emotion and the utility of it in human life. The next challenge is to measure the co-varying factors of the emotions in a non-invasive way, and find consistent features from these measures that are valid across wide population. In this research we use four physiological sensors that are non-invasive, and establish a methodology of utilizing the data from these sensors using different signal processing tools. A validated set of visual stimuli used worldwide in the research of emotion and attention, called International Affective Picture System (IAPS), is used. A dataset is collected from the sensors in an experiment designed to elicit emotions from these validated visual stimuli. We describe a novel wavelet method to calculate hemispheric asymmetry metric using electroencephalography data. This method is tested against typically used power spectral density method. We show overall improvement in accuracy in classifying specific emotions using the novel method. We also show distinctions between different discrete emotions from the autonomic nervous system activity using electrocardiography, electrodermal activity and pupil diameter changes. Findings from different features from these sensors are used to give guidelines to use each of the individual sensors in the adaptive learning environment.

▼ Physiological signals, which are controlled by the autonomic nervous system (ANS), could be used to detect the affective state of computer users and therefore find applications in medicine and engineering. The Pupil Diameter (PD) seems to provide a strong indication of the affective state, as found by previous research, but it has not been investigated fully yet. In this study, new approaches based on monitoring and processing the PD signal for off-line and on-line affective assessment (“relaxation” vs. “stress”) are proposed. Wavelet denoising and Kalman filtering methods are first used to remove abrupt changes in the raw Pupil Diameter (PD) signal. Then three features (PDmean, PDmax and PDWalsh) are extracted from the preprocessed PD signal for the affective state classification. In order to select more relevant and reliable physiological data for further analysis, two types of data selection methods are applied, which are based on the paired t-test and subject self-evaluation, respectively. In addition, five different kinds of the classifiers are implemented on the selected data, which achieve average accuracies up to 86.43% and 87.20%, respectively. Finally, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is utilized to investigate the discriminating potential of each individual feature by evaluation of the area under the ROC curve, which reaches values above 0.90. For the on-line affective assessment, a hard threshold is implemented first in order to remove the eye blinks from the PD signal and then a moving average window is utilized to obtain the representative value PD_r for every one-second time interval of PD. There are three main steps for the on-line affective assessment algorithm, which are preparation, feature-based decision voting and affective determination. The final results show that the accuracies are 72.30% and 73.55% for the data subsets, which were respectively chosen using two types of data selection methods (paired t-test and subject self-evaluation). In order to further analyze the efficiency of affective recognition through the PD signal, the Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) was also monitored and processed. The highest affective assessment classification rate obtained from GSR processing is only 63.57% (based on the off-line processing algorithm). The overall results confirm that the PD signal should be considered as one of the most powerful physiological signals to involve in future automated real-time affective recognition systems, especially for detecting the “relaxation” vs. “stress” states.

▼ The detection and interpretation of gunshot residues (GSR) plays a crucial role in the investigation of firearm related events. Specimens are commonly collected using GSR stubs with double sided adhesive carbon tape. After collection, the stubs can directly be analysed using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), which is widely used for the detection of inorganic gunshot residues (IGSR) as it provides simultaneous elemental and morphological information of discrete particles. Since SEM-EDX analysis focuses on the detection of characteristic GSR particles incorporating the elements lead, antimony and barium, the relatively recent introduction of lead free (LF) and heavy-metal free (HMF) ammunition challenges the current standard operating procedure (SOP) for GSR analysis. Other problems arise from the recent findings of GSR-like particles from environmental and occupational sources. The incorporation of organic gunshot residues (OGSR) into the current SOP can provide additional and complementary information that is alleged to overcome these limitations. This project focused on the detection and incorporation of OGSR to current GSR SOPs on different levels. A screening technique was developed for the in-field detection of compounds potentially present in smokeless powders and GSR. The technique was based on microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPAD) and fluorescence quenching of pyrene and showed promising results for detecting energetic compounds in OGSR. A portable μPAD reader was built and showed potential for in-field detection of GSR (and explosives). A second screening technique was developed based on solid phase extraction (SPE). This technique can allow pre-concentration and clean-up of samples before OGSR analysis, which might be necessary considering the low amounts of OGSR that are commonly detected on specimens directly collected after discharge. A proof-of-concept study using a completely automated on-line SPE robot, the RapidFire®, connected to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (QQQ-MS) was conducted showing promising results for the pre-concentration and/or screening of OGSR. To allow the detection of a broad range of OGSR, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) method with ultraviolet (UV) detection and mass spectrometric confirmation using a QQQ-MS was developed using a statistical approach (Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)). This approach was applied for the first time to GSR analysis. The network was trained and used for the prediction of retention times of the target compounds in relation to different gradients. The final UHPLC-UV method was fully validated and tested using simulated case specimens collected at an indoor firing range. It proved sufficiently sensitive and selective for the detection of OGSR from hands and the establishment of smokeless powder profiles. Three different collection protocols for the recovery of OGSR and IGSR from hands were conceptualised to enable both subsequent OGSR analysis by UHPLC-UV and…

The use of autonomous robots in our society is increasing every day and a robot is no longer seen as a tool but as a team member. The robots are now working side by side with us and provide assistance during dangerous operations where humans otherwise are at risk. This development has in turn increased the need of robots with more human-awareness. Therefore, this master thesis aims at contributing to the enhancement of human-aware robotics. Specifically, we are investigating the possibilities of equipping autonomous robots with the capability of assessing and detecting activities in human teams. This capability could, for instance, be used in the robot's reasoning and planning components to create better plans that ultimately would result in improved human-robot teamwork performance. we propose to improve existing teamwork activity recognizers by adding intangible features, such as stress, motivation and focus, originating from human behavior models. Hidden markov models have earlier been proven very efficient for activity recognition and have therefore been utilized in this work as a method for classification of behaviors. In order for a robot to provide effective assistance to a human team it must not only consider spatio-temporal parameters for team members but also the psychological.To assess psychological parameters this master thesis suggests to use the body signals of team members. Body signals such as heart rate and skin conductance. Combined with the body signals we investigate the possibility of using System Dynamics models to interpret the current psychological states of the human team members, thus enhancing the human-awareness of a robot.

Användningen av autonoma robotar i vårt samhälle ökar varje dag och en robot ses inte längre som ett verktyg utan som en gruppmedlem. Robotarna arbetar nu sida vid sida med oss och ger oss stöd under farliga arbeten där människor annars är utsatta för risker. Denna utveckling har i sin tur ökat behovet av robotar med mer människo-medvetenhet. Därför är målet med detta examensarbete att bidra till en stärkt människo-medvetenhet hos robotar. Specifikt undersöker vi möjligheterna att utrusta autonoma robotar med förmågan att bedöma och upptäcka olika beteenden hos mänskliga lag. Denna förmåga skulle till exempel kunna användas i robotens resonemang och planering för att ta beslut och i sin tur förbättra samarbetet mellan människa och robot. Vi föreslår att förbättra befintliga aktivitetsidentifierare genom att tillföra förmågan att tolka immateriella beteenden hos människan, såsom stress, motivation och fokus. Att kunna urskilja lagaktiviteter inom ett mänskligt lag är grundläggande för en robot som ska vara till stöd för laget. Dolda markovmodeller har tidigare visat sig vara mycket effektiva för just aktivitetsidentifiering och har därför använts i detta arbete. För att en robot ska kunna ha möjlighet att ge ett effektivt stöd till ett mänskligtlag måste den inte bara ta hänsyn till rumsliga parametrar hos lagmedlemmarna utan…
