▼ Natural Gas (NG) plays an important role in the energy demand in the United States and throughout the world. Its characteristics as a clean, versatile and a sustainable source of energy makes it an important alternative within the spectra of energy resources. Addressing industrial and academic needs in the natural gas research area requires an integrated plan of research among experimentation, modeling and simulation. In this work,
high accuracy PpT data have been measured with a
high pressure single sinker magnetic suspension densimeter. An entire uncertainty analysis of this apparatus reveals that the uncertainty of the density data is less that 0.05% across the entire ranges of temperature (200 to 500) K and pressure (up to 200 MPa). These characteristics make the PpT data measured in this study unique in the world. Additionally, both a low pressure (up to 35 MPa) and a
high pressure (up to 200 MPa) isochoric apparatus have been developed during the execution of this project. These apparatuses, in conjunction with a recently improved isochoric technique, allow determination of the phase envelope for NG mixtures with an uncertainty of 0.45% in temperature, 0.05% in pressure and 0.12% in density. Additionally, an innovative technique, based upon Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) and Gas Chromatography (GC), was proposed in this research to minimize the
high uncertainty introduced by the composition analyses of NG mixtures. The collected set of P?T and saturation data are fundamental for thermodynamic formulations of these mixtures. A study at the molecular level has provided molecular data for a selected set of main constituents of natural gas. A 50-50% methane-ethane mixture was studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The result of this study showed that simulation time higher than 2 ns was necessary to obtain reasonable deviations for the density determinations when compared to accurate standards. Finally, this work proposed a new mixing rule to incorporate isomeric effects into cubic equations of state.

▼ Delmic's SECOM platform integrates an optical microscope in a scanning electron microscope. A flexure based scan stage has been designed and produced to be used in the next generation of the SECOM platform. However, the reaction forces of the scan stage produce vibrations in the platform. These vibrations negatively affect the position
accuracy and velocity stability of the scan stage, resulting in very poor image quality. To successfully implement the scan stage in the new platform, the errors must be reduced. The errors caused by the reaction forces of the scan stage in the SECOM platform are quantified by modelling, testing and calculations. Conventional methods to reduce errors do not offer a direct solution for the errors caused by the scan stage. Literature is reviewed in search of other disciplines that are capable of reducing reaction force related errors. Dynamic balancing, often used in linkages, can theoretically completely eliminate all reaction forces of a mechanism, and therefore remove the error source in the SECOM platform. The scan stage is redesigned in order to dynamically balance the mechanism. To use dynamic balancing is a challenge; no examples of macro-scale dynamically-balanced flexure mechanisms have been found in literature. Literature is also studied on the design of ultra-precision XY and XYΘ mechanisms. The most commonly used components are identified, and the optimal design configuration is concluded. The scan stage is designed according to the optimal design guidelines. The end effector of the scan stage is exact constrained, another novel feature when compared to the mechanisms found in literature. Measurements on the performance of dynamically balanced linkage mechanisms are not common, most designs found in literature are purely theoretical. The scanning mechanism is produced and the dynamic performance of the mechanism is verified. Subsequently, the reaction force of the mechanism is measured. Measurements show that the reaction force has successfully been reduced by a factor 50. The errors caused by such a force in the SECOM platform are within acceptable limits. The base of the mechanism was assumed to be infinitely stiff, an assumption commonly made in dynamic balancing literature. However, measurements also show that internal reaction forces of the mechanism cause significant deformations in the base, which can transfer a force. This potentially applies to dynamically balanced linkages as well. Consequently, an additional design guideline has been proposed for creating mechanisms that transmit no reaction forces to other systems or components: The displacements as a result of the inertial forces, and forces caused by the strain of the flexure elements of the mechanism, should be zero with respect to the center of mass of the base of the mechanism, at all mounting points and connection points of the mechanism to other systems. In this thesis, a dynamically balanced flexure-based mechanism is successfully designed and tested. No comparable mechanism has been found in…

High accuracy measurements of x-ray absorption spectra and application in conformation and structural analysis of Ni(II) complexes and ferrocene.

▼ X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is uniquely sensitive to local and element specific structure applying to samples as diverse as solution, gas, solid, crystal or films. However, standard XAS applied particularly in disordered environment (i.e. solution) does not currently use error analysis from experimental systematics, raising concerns about the reliability of refined structures. This work develops experimental and analytical methodologies, which allow new high accuracy measurements of XAS spectra from dilute samples using synchrotron radiation. A new technique - the hybrid technique - is developed and applied to two nickel(II) complexes including ([bis(N-n-propyl- salicylaldiminato)] nickel(II), (n-pr, Ni) and [bis(N-i-propyl- salicylaldiminato)] nickel(II), (i-pr, Ni) complexes, and two sandwich compounds including Ferrocene(Fc) and decamethylferrocene (dmFc). Applying the technique, XAS spectra of the complexes are measured on both relative and absolute scales to high accuracy (a 1%-5% accuracy for the nickel(II) complexes; 0.2% to 2% accuracy for Fc and dmFc compounds ) by the characterisation and correction of experimental systematics. These results are the first ever report of high accuracy measurements from dilute systems.
The solid-state structures of the (i-pr, Ni) and (n-pr, Ni) complexes are well defined from the crystallographic measurements. Their structural forms in solution have not been investigated. With the use of high-accuracy XAS spectra, application of a statistically robust XAFS refinement of the isomers confirms that the (i-pr, Ni) complex belongs to a distorted tetrahedral geometry, and the (n-pr, Ni) complex represents a distorted square planar geometry. The general structural forms of the complexes are consistent with crystallographic data, but the key bond-lengths and bite angles varied from their crystalline structures. The analysis is the first time demonstration of XAFS analysis of dilute isomers propagating experimental uncertainties for meaningful chi2r determination and hypothesis testing.
The structural analysis of the nickel(II) complexes has provided us with necessary understanding for an application of the statistically robust method to the stereochemistry of high symmetry molecule Fc. The structural form of Fc is however experimentally unclear, whether Fc is dominated by a single conformer or a mixture of the two conformers, or the structures depend on medium. Previous XAFS approaches failed to distinguish between the conformations of Fc. This work provides exciting evidence on this topic. In addition to XAFS approaches, previous studies of vibrational IR spectroscopy of Fc were inadequate to resolve the issue. This work therefore aimed an extensive study to obtain a clear answer. An application of statistically-validated XAFS analysis indicated the dominance of the D5h form in Fc structure. Consistently, the quantitative analysis of the measured high-resolution and temperature series (300 K - 7 K) IR spectra in gas-phase and in condensed-phase confirms the…

▼ High-
accuracy density measurement data are required to validate
equations of state (EOS) for use in custody transfer of natural gas through pipelines. The
AGA8-DC92 EOS, which is the current industry standard has already been validated
against a databank of natural gas mixtures with compositions containing up to 0.2 mole
percent of the heavier C6+ fraction and is expected to predict densities of natural gas
mixtures containing higher mole percentages of the C6+ fraction with the same
accuracy.
With the advances in exploration, drilling and production, natural gas streams containing
higher percentages of the C6+ fraction have become available from the deepwater and
ultra-deepwater Gulf of Mexico in recent years.
High-
accuracy, density data for such
natural gas mixtures are required to check if the AGA8-DC92 EOS covers the entire
range of pressure, temperature and compositions encountered in custody transfer.
A state-of-the-art,
high pressure,
high temperature, compact single-sinker
magnetic suspension densitometer has been used to measure densities of two simulated
natural gas mixtures named M91C1 and M94C1 after validating its operation by
measuring densities of pure argon, nitrogen and methane in the range (270 to 340) K
[(26.33 to152.33) oF, (-3.15 to 66.85) oC] and (3.447 to 34.474) MPa [(500 to 5,000)
psia]. Measured densities of M91C1, not containing the C6+ fraction show larger than
expected relative deviations from the AGA8-DC92 EOS predictions in regions 1 and 2
but agree well with predictions from the recently developed REFPROP EOS, implyingthat the AGA8-DC92 EOS may be unreliable in its present state even for natural gas
mixtures not containing the C6+ fraction. Measured densities of M94C1 containing more
than 0.2 mole percent of the C6+ fraction deviate from the AGA8-DC92 EOS predictions
by more than the expected values in region 1 which is not surprising but the agreement
with AGA8-DC92 EOS predictions in region 2 is misleading which becomes evident
when the measured densities are compared to the REFPROP EOS predictions. The
measured data can be used to recalibrate the parameters of the AGA8-DC92 EOS or to
validate an entirely new EOS.

▼ Abstract The ability to identify likely takeover targets at an early stage should provide an investor with valuable information to profit from investing in potential target firms. Based on the hypothesis that agents with asymmetric information operate in the securities market, the objective of this study is to develop an investment strategy able to achieve high portfolio returns and reduce risks by investing in takeover targets. The analysis conducted on tick-by-tick data from shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) uses a range of models from the logistic, neural network, forecast combination, Autoregressive Conditional Duration (ACD), along with associated market timing rules. The first part of this thesis contributes to the takeover prediction literature by showing that the combination of probability forecasts as an alternative approach improves forecast accuracy in takeover prediction with improved economic return from portfolios made up of predicted targets. The second part investigates the joint impact of market microstructure variables on return volatility in the months prior to the public release of the takeover announcement. The last part introduces an innovative market timing approach to capture information from the intraday trading and to guide portfolio investments. The information content of each trade is analysed in the search for trading behaviour consistent with the use of privileged information before the takeover announcement. Three general conclusions come from the results. First, an investment in a portfolio comprising predicted targets is capable of achieving significant abnormal returns. Second, traders who may hold private information before the event affect the intraday trading behaviour in takeover targets. Finally, the proposed Forecast Range Strategy is shown to be successful in predicting market trends and providing an alternative method for reducing risk without sacrificing return.

▼ The theory of non-orthogonal spin-adaptation for closed-shell molecular systems is presented, with an emphasis on application to the coupled cluster family of electronic structure methods. To aid in the derivation of efficient and compact working equations, a new diagrammatic interpretation of the Goldstone diagrams is derived which only requires a small number of the many distinct diagrams and which directly produces equations in a factored form in terms of “spin-summed” tensor elements. This diagrammatic interpretation is applied to coupled cluster methods with quadruple excitations (CCSDTQ), including coupled cluster with a perturbative correction for quadruple excitations (CCSDT(Q)) and to CCSDTQ gradients and properties. The advantages of the non-orthogonal spin-adaption with respect to simplification and factorization of the working equations and to efficient implementation are presented and discussed. Additionally, specific optimizations of the implementation for often-overlooked issues such as tensor transposition, disk access, and removal of redundant and/or unnecessary operations are detailed. The resulting algorithm is implemented for the CCSDTQ and CCSDT(Q) methods and compared to existing codes, where a one to two order-of-magnitude improvement in efficiency is observed. The new implementation is also used for calculations on several larger molecular systems to illustrate the scalability of the method.

▼ High-dimensional linear models play an important role in the analysis of modern data sets. Although the estimation problem has been well understood, there is still a paucity of methods and theories on the inference problem for high-dimensional linear models. This thesis focuses on statistical inference for high-dimensional linear models and consists of the following three parts.
1. The first part of the thesis considers confidence intervals for linear functionals in high-dimensional linear regression. We first establish the convergence rates of the minimax expected length for confidence intervals. Furthermore, we investigate the problem of adaptation to sparsity for the construction of confidence intervals and identify the regimes in which it is possible to construct adaptive confidence intervals.
2. In the second part of the thesis, we consider point and interval estimation of the ℓq loss of a given estimator in high-dimensional linear regression. For the class of rate-optimal estimators, we establish the minimax rates for estimating their ℓq losses, the minimax expected length of confidence intervals for their ℓq losses and the possibility of adaptivity of confidence intervals for their ℓq losses.
3. In the third part of the thesis, we consider the problem in the framework of high-dimensional instrumental variable regression and construct confidence intervals for the treatment effect in the presence of possibly invalid instrumental variables. We develop a novel selection procedure, Two-Stage Hard Thresholding (TSHT) to select valid instrumental variables and construct honest confidence intervals for the treatment effect using the selected instrumental variables.

▼ Language Arts
Ed.D.
This study is a longitudinal study that investigated the development of English oral proficiency—complexity, accuracy, and fluency—under the pre-task and on-line planning conditions with task repetition among Japanese high school students. This study is unique because it is longitudinal and includes qualitative data. The participants were 15 Japanese high school students whose English proficiency level is categorized as low proficiency. Narrative tasks, post-task questionnaires, journals, and interviews were used in this study. In the narrative tasks, they were asked to describe a four-picture story three times with two minutes planning time, when they were allowed to listen to an ALT (assistant language teacher) tell the story and take notes. They completed a post-task questionnaire and a journal after completing the task. Interviews were conducted two times to further investigate their questionnaire responses and what they wrote in their journal entries. The results showed that low proficiency learners increased oral fluency, syntactic complexity, lexical complexity, and syntactic accuracy through repeating the same task within a single session, and syntactic complexity and lexical complexity through repeating the same type of task during the academic year. The aural input between the first, second, and third performance can lead them to draw their attention to form-meaning connections, resulting in increased oral performance. In addition, low and intermediate beginners benefited in increasing oral fluency, syntactic complexity, and syntactic accuracy, while high beginners benefited in improving oral fluency and lexical complexity under pre-task and on-line planning conditions with repetition during the academic year. The study suggests that the combined use of pre-task planning, on-line planning, and task repetition have a cumulative effect and can facilitate the development of oral fluency, syntactic complexity, lexical complexity, and syntactic accuracy for low proficiency high school learns of English. If learners are given the opportunity to plan before and during task performance with repetition, and to make the condition that draws their attention to both form and meaning, it is the most effective strategy to improve oral fluency, syntactic complexity, lexical complexity, and syntactic accuracy in task-based teaching in the classrooms.

▼ Mass spectrometry based proteomics has become one of the most powerful tools used to determine protein structure, function, and expression. The recent rapid expansion of the field is a result of significant improvements in the throughput of
mass spectrometers and the availability of affordable and powerful computers. Due to the improvements to mass spectrometers, LC-MS/MS experiments are able to generate tens of thousands of MS/MS spectra making automated interpretation a necessity. The
results of automated database searches must be scrutinized very carefully. In this study, the incidence of false positives from search results was explicitly measured by using a database annotated with randomly generated proteins. True positives were
measured as the identification of a subset of individually validated recombinant proteins that were spiked into the experimental sample. Searches were performed under a variety of high and low mass accuracy settings, and the performance of a few methods
of statistical validation was analyzed. This investigation shows that post-search statistical validation should be a mandatory step in a shotgun proteomics experiment. Furthermore, high resolution mass accuracy and resolution ion fragment scanning should
be used as soon as mass spectrometers can operate in those modes without significant losses to scan times and throughput.

▼ Industrial applications increasingly require actuators that offer a combination of
high force
output, large stroke and
high accuracy. The ElectroHydraulic Actuator (EHA) was designed by Drs. Habibi and Goldenberg originally as a
high-performance actuator for use in robotics. However, it was determined that the EHA had the potential to achieve
high positional
accuracy. Little research has been performed in the area of
high-
accuracy hydraulic positioning systems. Therefore, the objective of this study to achieve nano-scale positional
accuracy with the EHA while maintaining large stroke and
high force output. It was planned to achieve this objective through modification of the prototype EHA and the use of fuzzy control.
During this research project, both hardware and control system modifications to the EHA were
performed. A
high-precision optical encoder position sensor with a 50 nm resolution was mounted on the inertial load to directly measure the position of the load. A number of device drivers were written to interface the MATLAB real-time control environment with the optical encoder and servo motor amplifier. A Sugeno-inference fuzzy controller was designed and implemented in MATLAB. For comparison purposes, a switched-gain controller and a proportional controller were also implemented in the control environment.
The performance of the fuzzy controller was compared to the switched-gain controller and
the proportional controller in a number of tests. First, the regulatory and tracking performance
of the EHA with an inertial load of 20 kg was examined. It was determined in the regulatory
tests that the positional
accuracy of the EHA with the fuzzy controller was excellent, achieving
a steady state error of 50 ± 25 nm or less for step inputs in the range 5 cm to 200 nm. The
positional
accuracy during the tracking tests was found to be reduced compared to the regulatory
tests since the actuator did not have sufficient time to settle to final
accuracy due to the timevarying input signals. In all cases, it was found that the positional
accuracy of the EHA with the fuzzy controller was significantly greater than with the switched-gain and proportional controllers for both regulatory and tracking signals. Testing with the inertial load eliminated or changed was not performed because the position sensor was mounted to the load, making it unfeasible to alter the load during the time frame of this study.
The regulatory and tracking performance of the EHA with an inertial load of 20 kg plus external
resistive loads of 90 to 280 N were investigated. It was found that the positional
accuracy of the
EHA decreased with the application of an external load to 3.10 ± 0.835 µm for a 1 cm step input
(90 N load) and 8.45 ± 0.400 µm for a 3 cm step input (280 N load). Again, the positional
accuracy
of the EHA decreased during the tracking tests relative to the regulatory tests, for the reason stated above. This implies that the positional
accuracy of the EHA with a resistive load is in the microscale, rather than the nano-scale as was…

▼ Laser induced explosive boiling (LIEB) generated by localized
high energy laser on solid surface has wide applications. Compared with traditional electric heating induced phase change process, LIEB has advantages in: (a) controllable ultra-short heating time, (b) no-pretreatment/fabrication required on substrate, (c) fully controllable heating size as well as heating energy.
In this study, we utilized laser induced strong local heating by guiding laser into taped micro-nozzle to induce liquid ejection from the nozzle. The localized strong heating induces rapid phase change of ink liquid inside the nozzle. As a result,
high pressure can be generated inside nozzle and can squeeze liquid out from the nozzle. This inkjet process has less limitation in ink materials than current inkjet techniques. By adjusting laser energy and laser pulse duration, we are able to generate different ink patterns vary from single droplet to ink spray consisted of sub-micron droplets.
To better understand and control the LIEB process for construction laser inkjets, meshfree numerical analysis capable to study a LIEB process is also explored in this study. SPH was selected as the starting point of the meshfree numerical simulation considering its advantages in simulation of large distortion of free surface and moving interface of two phase flow. With a gaining experience in SPH, we noticed that it has limitations in achieving
high enough numerical
accuracy in derivative computing as well as providing stable numerical simulation without artificial smoothing processes. These limitations of traditional SPH prevent us from using SPH as a tool directly to study the LIEB.
To solve the limitations of traditional SPH, we developed a new meshfree scheme providing following improvements: (a) using equation of state of fluid directly, which handles the P, ρ, T relation as well as the associated buoyancy forces without simplifications; (b) higher order
accuracy in 1st and 2nd derivatives calculation providing 2nd and 1st order
accuracy for random particle distribution and even higher
accuracy for symmetric conditions. With this novel
high order
accuracy meshfree scheme developed in this study, we have a tool not only to stimulate the LIEB process but also bubble dynamics and micro cavitation directly.

▼ The explosive growth of advanced smart devices, such as smart phones equipped with a high resolution camera, touch-screen, Wi-Fi and advanced multimedia functionalities, is dramatically changed the way people interact with multimedia content and provides new ways of interacting with traditional media publications such as newspapers and magazines. The Quality of Experience (QoE) of users of these new multimedia services has become a primary concern to ensure their success. The focus of this research is to investigate the user QoE for emerging Mobile Augmented Visual Search (MAVS) applications used to connect readers of printed media with corresponding online digital content. MAVS applications rely on automatically matching a captured visual scene to an image in a database to trigger the retrieval of augmented multimedia content to users. It is a complex issue to find an efficient solution to measure the QoE in such applications due to the diversity of users as well as variation of real world conditions, device limitations and bandwidth of the communication network. On the basis of the investigation of QoE related key influencing factors, the ultimate goal is to find optimal solutions to ensure the user QoE is maximized through this work.

▼ We present a method for solving a fluid-fluid interaction problem (two convection-dominated convection-diusion problems adjoined by an interface), which is a simplifed version of the atmosphere ocean coupling problem. The method resolves some of the issues that can be crucial to the fluid-fluid interaction problems: it is a partitioned time stepping method, yet it is of
high order
accuracy in both space and time (the two-step algorithm considered in this report provides second order
accuracy); it allows for the usage of the legacy codes (which is a common requirement when resolving flows in complex geometries), yet it can be applied to the problems with very small viscosity/diffusion coefficients. This is achieved by combining the defect correction technique for increased spatial
accuracy (and for resolving the issue of
high convection-to-difusion ratio) with the deferred correction in time (which allows for the usage of the computationally attractive partitioned scheme, yet the time
accuracy is increased beyond the usual result of partitioned methods being only first order accurate) into the defect-deferred correction method (DDC). The results are readily extendable to the higher order
accuracy cases by adding more correction steps. Both the theoretical results and the numerical tests provided demonstrate that the computed solution is unconditionally stable and the
accuracy in both space and time is improved after the correction step.

▼ This study examines the messages and
accuracy of the messages sent to students from the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) math test regarding academic preparedness for postsecondary education. Previous studies investigating messages sent to students, derived from information such as educational standards, grades, course taking policies, test material, and college admissions requirements, focused on content alignment of secondary and postsecondary content standards. However, a dearth of research exists on messages from
high school performance, as measured by exit exams and college performance measured by grades, major selection, or graduation. This study addresses the need to understand and interpret messages students receive based on academic performance. Specifically, this study aims to answer three questions. First, what is the relationship between AIMS math scores and college math performance defined by the University of Arizona math requirement and college graduation? Second, to what degree do AIMS math scores predict college math performance? Third, what is the average AIMS math score and performance level for students who choose certain majors? To answer the research questions posed in this study, various statistical analyses were employed. To answer the first question, a one-way ANOVA and logistic regression analyses were used. A linear regression analysis served to analyze the second and third questions. Results indicate that the messages sent to students regarding college readiness are, in fact, well aligned and clear and consistent. Also, there is evidence that the messages vary by gender and ethnicity.

▼ This thesis is concerned with accurate imaging from radio interferometry data and with subsequent analysis so as to determine source positions and fluxes in the radio sky. The thesis makes proposals and implementations of new algorithms, which substantially improve the accuracy of image products and the results of source extraction. These improvements in accuracy promise to assist scientific research into astronomical objects and phenomena in radio astronomy. The thesis contains six chapters, beginning with an overview of the imaging process in radio interferometry in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 focuses on improving the accuracy of source extraction, by utilising the Bayesian methodology. The proposed Bayesian method has been implemented in a software package called 'BaSC' which uses the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique. By design, it works with intermediate radio interferometry image products, such as dirty images, rather than with reconstructed images. BaSC achieves greater precision in source location and better resolving power than mainstream source extraction software such as SExtractor, which works with reconstructed images. This finding confirms that reconstructed images are not a true representation of the radio sky, whereas dirty images already contain full information about the observations. This piece of work has been accepted by Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (Hague et al. 2018). Chapter 2 is based on this paper, but has been rewritten and expanded. Based on this conclusion, Chapter 3 seeks to optimise the gridding process so as to make accurate dirty images. Since the Fast Fourier transform (FFT) produces dirty images with a much lower computational cost than the Direct Fourier transform (DFT), a new gridding function is needed which minimises the difference between DFT and FFT dirty images. The 'Least-misfit' gridding function is proposed, so as to minimise the image misfit between the DFT and FFT dirty images, and this is implemented and tested. Given an identical support width, it outperforms the main-stream spheroidal function in the image misfit by a factor of at least 100, it also suppresses aliasing in the image plane better. Aliasing is essentially a part of the image misfit, so there is no need to consider it separately. The least-misfit gridding function, with a support width of 7 and an image cropping rate of 0.5, is recommended for application to both the gridding and degridding processes, and makes it realistic to achieve the limit of single precision arithmetic in the image misfit and visibility misfit. With the new gridding function in place, Chapter 4 proposes two novel wide-field imaging algorithms: improved W-Stacking and N-Faceting. The improved W-Stacking method uses a three-dimensional gridding, rather than two-dimensional gridding as in the original W-Stacking method. This renders possible the calculation and application of the correcting function on the n (third) dimension. This improvement greatly increases the accuracy of the FFT dirty image on the celestial…

▼ Background: There is limited evidence to validate many of the techniques that osteopaths and other manual therapists use. Many techniques are performed by manual therapists without complete understanding of the mechanical and physiological mechanisms involved. The
high velocity/low amplitude (HVLA) thrusts that are frequently used in osteopathic practice are one such example. Several authors suggest that
accuracy (cavitating only the dysfunctional spinal segment) of the thrust is important for a successful clinical outcome (Meal & Scott, 1986). However, there is a division within the profession as to how accurate these thrusts need to be to create clinically relevant outcomes (Beffa & Mathews, 2004; Meal & Scott, 1986; Ross, Bereznick, & McGill, 2004). Recent research suggests that the
accuracy of HVLA thrusts in both the thoracic and lumbar spine may be limited (Ross, Bereznick, & McGill, 2004).
Objectives: The first aim of this study was to determine how consistently an experienced osteopathic practitioner could target a side of the cervical spine using one rotational HVLA technique in multiple sessions. This study will also help determine which side of the cervical spine produces a cavitation sound during a primary lever left rotation HVLA thrust. The second part of this research surveys osteopaths registered to practice in New Zealand on their beliefs regarding sites of cavitation during cervical spine HVLA thrusts.
Design: Part 1: Observational study
Part 2: Survey
Methods: Part 1: Thirty-three (17 male and 16 female) participants aged between 18 and 40 volunteered for this study. One experienced osteopathic practitioner performed a single primary lever left rotational thrust to C3/4 segments of the cervical spine to each volunteer on three separate occasions over a four week period. Cavitation sounds were recorded via sensitive microphones attached to the posto-lateral aspects of each volunteer’s neck at the level of C2. Analysis of the recorded wave forms indicate the side where the cavitation of the cervical facets has occurred.
Part 2: A web-based survey was designed and emailed to 164 osteopaths within New Zealand. Demographic questions sought details on age, gender, schooling and the like, and also asked participants to watch four videos of commonly applied cervical spine manipulations. Osteopaths were asked to indicate on the survey which side of the cervical spine they believed the cavitation occurred during each of the thrusts.
Results: The findings from Part 1 of the study suggest that this osteopath can cavitate, with reasonable consistency, the right side cervical facets using a left rotational HVLA thrust. The findings also show that this type of thrust is most likely to produce cavitations ipsilateral to the practitioner’s applicator hand.
The findings from Part 2 of this research show that there is consensus amongst osteopaths registered to practice osteopathy in New Zealand regarding the side where cavitation should occur during various HVLA…

▼ L'acquisition de modèles 3D des scènes réelles trouve son utilité dans de nombreuses applications pratiques, comme l'archivage numérique, les jeux vidéo, l'ingénierie, la publicité. Il existe principalement deux méthodes pour acquérir un modèle 3D: la reconstruction avec un scanner laser (méthode active) et la reconstruction à partir de plusieurs photographies d'une même scène prise dans des points de vues différentes (méthode passive). Si la méthode active permet d'acquérir des modèles avec une grande précision, il est cependant coûteux et difficile à mettre en place pour de grandes scènes extérieures. La méthode passive, ou la stéréo multi-vues est en revanche plus flexible, facile à mettre en oeuvre et surtout moins coûteuse que la méthode active. Cette thèse s'attaque au problème de la reconstruction de stéréo multi-vues à grande échelle et précise pour les scènes extérieures. Nous améliorons des méthodes précédentes et les assemblons pour créer une chaîne de stéréo multi-vues efficace tirant parti de l'accélération de cartes graphiques. La chaîne produit des maillages de qualité à partir d'images de haute résolution, ce qui permet d'atteindre les meilleurs scores dans de nombreuses évaluations. Aux plus grandes échelles, nous développons d'une part des techniques de type diviser-pour-régner pour reconstruire des morceaux partiaux de la scène. D'autre part, pour combiner ces résultats séparés, nous créons une nouvelle méthode qui fusionne rapidement des centaines de maillages. Nous réussissons à reconstruire de beaux maillages urbains et des monuments historiques précis à partir de grandes collections d'images (environ 1600 images de 5M Pixel)
Acquisition of 3D model of real objects and scenes is indispensable and useful in many practical applications, such as digital archives, game and entertainment industries, engineering, advertisement. There are 2 main methods for 3D acquisition : laser-based reconstruction (active method) and image-based reconstruction from multiple images of the scene in different points of view (passive method). While laser-based reconstruction achieves high accuracy, it is complex, expensive and difficult to set up for large-scale outdoor reconstruction. Image-based, or multi-view stereo methods are more versatile, easier, faster and cheaper. By the time we begin this thesis, most multi-view methods could handle only low resolution images under controlled environment. This thesis targets multi-view stereo both both in large scale and high accuracy issues. We significantly improve some previous methods and combine them into a remarkably effective multi-view pipeline with GPU acceleration. From high-resolution images, we produce highly complete and accurate meshes that achieve best scores in many international recognized benchmarks. Aiming even larger scale, on one hand, we develop Divide and Conquer approaches in order to reconstruct many small parts of a big scene. On the other hand, to combine separate partial results, we create a new merging method, which can merge automatically and…

▼ As buildings get taller and lighter, structural engineers are increasingly faced with the consequences of the dynamic response of
high-rise buildings to wind. Damping is an important property for the dynamic response of
high-rise structures, but is a combination of many mechanisms, which makes it a complex phenomenon to account for in the structural design. Empirical damping predictors currently exist, but a large scatter is found among predictors, as well as between predictors and identified damping from measurements. Damping values are prescribed in codes, but are not consistently conservative. Therefore, there is a strong desire from both structural engineers and researchers to obtain further understanding of damping behaviour in
high-rise structures. Damping identification techniques, such as the Half-power Bandwidth method and the Random Decrement technique are commonly used. However, these are not applicable to buildings with closely spaced modes, and require extensive measurements. Besides, they only provide a damping value, and cannot find damping of separate components of a system. A novel technique, the Energy Flux Analysis, approaches damping from an energy point of view, making it more widely applicable, and allowing for damping identification in components of a structure. The Energy Flux Analysis has been verified to lab structures, but its performance when applied to a
high-rise structures using in situ measurements is still unknown. The aim of this research is to investigate the sensitivities of and prerequisites for the application of the Energy Flux Analysis to
high-rise buildings excited by wind using spatially limited measurements. The sensitivities were sought for in the uncertainty of required input for the Energy Flux Analysis: structure motion, which includes internal forces, wind load, data acquisition, and structural properties. The research was performed through application of the Energy Flux Analysis to the New Orleans tower in Rotterdam. While the sensitivity to structural properties and the magnitude of measurements is limited, the Energy Flux Analysis demonstrated to be highly sensitive to the phase of structural motion, internal forces, and wind load. The first two points are relevant for computing the energy flux at the boundary of a system, when one is interested in damping in the superstructure and due to soil-structure interaction separately. The last point is relevant when one is interested in the total or superstructure damping. The phase differences occurring between structure motion and internal forces are a direct result of damping. Material damping resulted in a phase difference between stress and strain in the numerical model, while a local damper resulted in a phase difference between structure motion at different locations. The many damping mechanisms occurring in a
high-rise structure may each affect the phase of structure motion and internal forces differently. When these phase differences are not taken into account in the Energy…

▼ There are two parts of my thesis. The first
part is about muilti-step Krylov IIF-WENO methods. When we are
dealing with time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs)
with linear
high order terms and stiff lower order nonlinear terms,
implicit integration factor (IIF) methods are often a good choice
as a class of efficient “exactly linear part” time discretization
method. In complex systems (e.g. advection-diffusion-reaction (ADR)
systems), the highest order derivative term can be nonlinear, and
nonlinear non-stiff terms and nonlinear stiff terms are often mixed
together. To discretize the hyperbolic part in ADR systems,
high
order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) methods are often
used. There are two open problems related to IIF methods for
solving ADR systems: (1) how to obtain higher than the second order
global time discretization
accuracy; (2) how to design IIF methods
for solving fully nonlinear PDEs, i.e., the highest order terms are
nonlinear. We solve these two problems by developing new
muilti-step Krylov IIF-WENO methods to deal with both semilinear
and fully nonlinear advection-diffusion-reaction equations. The
methods can be designed for arbitrary order of
accuracy. The
stiffness of the system is resolved well and the methods are stable
by using time step sizes which are just determined by the non-stiff
hyperbolic part of the system. Large time step size computations
are obtained. The second part is about
single-step Krylov IIF-WENO methods. So far, the IIF methods
developed in the literature are multi-step methods. Hence, we
develop single-step Krylov IIF-WENO methods for solving stiff
advection-diffusion-reaction equations. The methods are designed
carefully to avoid generating positive exponentials in the matrix
exponentials, which is necessary for the stability of the schemes.
We analyze the stability and truncation errors of both the
single-step and multi-step schemes. Numerical examples of both
scalar equations and systems are shown to demonstrate the
accuracy,
efficiency and robustness of these two
schemes.

▼ Traditional synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems
tend to discard phase information of formed complex radar imagery
prior to automatic target recognition (ATR). This practice has
historically been driven by available hardware storage, processing
capabilities, and data link capacity. Recent advances in
high
performance computing (HPC) have enabled extremely dense storage
and processing solutions. Therefore, previous motives for
discarding radar phase information in ATR applications have been
mitigated. First, we characterize the value of phase in
one-dimensional (1-D) radar range profiles and two dimensional
(2-D) SAR imagery with respect to the ability to correctly estimate
target features, which are currently employed in ATR algorithms for
target discrimination. These features correspond to physical
characteristics of a target through radio frequency (RF) scattering
phenomenology. Physics-based electromagnetic scattering models
developed from the geometrical theory of diffraction are utilized
for the information analysis presented here. Information is
quantified by the error of target parameter estimates from noisy
radar signals when phase is either retained or discarded. Operating
conditions (OCs) of signal-to-noise ratio, bandwidth, and aperture
extent are considered. Second, we investigate the value of phase in
1-D radar returns with respect to the ability to correctly classify
canonical targets. Classification performance is evaluated via
three techniques, namely, naïve Bayes, logistic regression and a
bound on Bayes error rate (BER). These classification techniques
maintain varying assumptions on the observed data set, with the BER
bound making no assumptions. In each case, phase information is
demonstrated to improve radar target classification
rates.

▼ 3D motion and 3D shape information are essential to many research fields, such as computer vision, computer graphics, and augmented reality. Thus, 3D motion estimation and 3D shape recovery are two important topics in these research communities. RGB-D cameras have become more accessible in recent few years. They are popular for good mobility, low cost, and high frame rate. However, these RGB-D cameras generate low-resolution and low-accuracy depth images due to chip size limitations and ambient illumination perturbation. Thus, obtaining high-resolution and high-accuracy 3D information based on RGB-D data is an important task.
This research investigates 3D motion estimation and 3D shape recovery solutions for RGB-D cameras. Thus, within this thesis, various methods are developed and presented to address the following research challenges: fusing passive stereo vision and active depth acquisition; 3D motion estimation based on RGB-D data; depth super-resolution based on RGB-D video with large displacement 3D motion.
In Chapter 3, a framework is presented to acquire depth images by fusing active depth acquisition and passive stereo vision. Active depth acquisition and passive stereo vision have their limitations in some aspects, but their range-sensing characteristics are complementary. Thus, combining both approaches can produce more accurate results than using either one only. Unlike previous fusion methods, the noisy depth observation from active depth acquisition is initially taken as a prior knowledge of the scene structure, which improves the accuracy of the fused depth images.
Chapter 4 details a method for 3D scene ow estimation based on RGB-D data. The accuracy of scene ow estimation is limited by two issues: occlusions and large displacement motions. To handle occlusions, the occlusion status is modelled, and the scene ow and occluded regions are jointly estimated. To deal with large displacement motions, an over-parameterised scene ow representation is employed to model both the rotation and translation components of the scene ow.
In Chapter 5, a depth super-resolution framework is presented for RGB-D video sequences with large 3D motion. To handle large 3D motion, our framework has two stages: motion compensation and fusion. A superpixel-based motion estimation approach is proposed for efficient motion compensation. The fusion task is modelled as a regression problem, and a specific deep convolutional neural network (CNN) is designed that can learns the mapping function between depth image observations and the fused depth image given a large amount of training data.
Subjects/Keywords: Computer vision.; Computer graphics.; Augmented reality.; 3D motion and 3D shape information.; Convolutional neural network (CNN); RGB-D cameras.; High-resolution and high-accuracy 3D information.; Occlusions.; Superpixel-based motion estimation approach.

▼ Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of
large primary and secondary straight-chain alkoxy radicals and
cyclohexoxy (c-C6H11O) were recorded under jet-cooled conditions
(T~1K). For 1-hexoxy (1-C6H13O), 1-heptoxy(1-C7H15O) and 2-butoxy
(2-C4H9O), rotational constants for both the ground electronic (X)
state and the second excited (B) state, and components of the
spin-rotational tensor for the X state were obtained by an analysis
of the resolved rotational and fine structure of the vibronic
bands. Comparing these experimental results with quantum chemistry
calculations permitted unambiguous conformational and vibrational
assignments for the bands. Such techniques have been extended to
larger straight-chain alkoxy radicals. A
high-resolution LIF
apparatus has been improved by the addition of a
high-
accuracy
calibration system. With this apparatus we have studied the methoxy
radical (CH3O) and its deuterated isotopomers (CH2DO, CHD2O and
CD3O). A spectral resolution (Full Width at Half Maximum, FWHM) of
~250MHz in the UV spectral region was achieved and individual lines
have been measured with an absolute
accuracy (one standard
deviation) ~50MHz at a frequency of ~10
9MHz,
i.e., ~0.05ppm. Vibronic bands of different rotational types of
transitions from the lower-energy spin-orbit component of the
ground electronic state (X
2E3/2) to the first excited
state(A
2A1) have been recorded. A global fitting combining the
LIF and previously observed microwave and stimulated emission
pumping (SEP) spectra, which involves the higher-energy spin-orbit
component of the ground electronic state (X
2E1/2), to a
rotational and fine structure Hamiltonian has been achieved. All of
the above data reveal the structure and properties of the alkoxy
radicals, which are important intermediate species in the oxidation
of hydrocarbons, a reaction that is critical in both combustion and
atmospheric chemistry. The spectroscopy is a prerequisite for
subsequent dynamic studies. Our work is also of special theoretical
interest due to the fact that methoxy radical provides a benchmark
case of the Jahn-Teller effect coupled with spin-orbit interaction,
giving rise to a potential energy surface which stringently tests
modern ab initio calculations.

▼ A method for the
high accuracy determination of the relative full energy peak efficiency is established. Radionuclides which emit at least two gamma-lines for which the relative intensity can be found (from the decay scheme) to much better than 0.1% were used as calibration standards. Specifically, the 889 keV and 1120 keV lines of
46Sc, the 983 keV and 1312 keV lines of
48Sc, the 1173 keV and 1332 keV lines of
60Co, the 702 keV and 871 keV lines of
94Nb, the 558 keV and 725 keV lines of
114mIn, and the 1368 keV and 2754 keV lines of
24Na were implemented. The
high accuracy calibration was taken to extend from the lowest line of
94Nb at 702 keV to the highest line of
60Co at 1332 keV, with the possibility of extension up to the 2754 keV line of
24Na, and down to the 558 keV line of
114mIn. An analytical expression, based on linear least squares fitting, was developed to describe the behavior of the relative efficiency curve in that energy range. As a result, the ability of predicting full energy peak relative efficiencies to within 0.1% (over most of the energy range) was demonstrated. The presented method is applicable in any measurement that requires the minimum calibration bias in the determination of reaction rate ratios. Applications in Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA), and in nuclear reactor dosimetry represent examples of such situations.

▼ Specular reflected light techniques have been proven to be successful for monitoring vacuum processes on unpatterned substrates. However, applications of these methods in semiconductor manufacturing have been limited by the diffraction problem of periodic patterns on the wafers and the sensitivity of measurement techniques. In this dissertation, feasible solutions for monitoring deep sub-micron and nano-structure surface relief gratings by these techniques coupled with a vector diffraction theory (using RCWA) are presented and demonstrated. The RCWA method has been implemented with efficient numerical techniques. The numerical stability has been investigated. A nonlinear regression procedure has been introduced to extract pattern profiles from the optical measurements and to statistically study the measurement sensitivity. Applying this technique to reactive ion etch (RIE) monitoring, we have reported the first in situ monitoring of deep submicron topography evolution using real-time two-channel spectroscopic reflectometry (2CSR) measurement coupled with off-line RCWA modeling. The grating samples have a period of 700nm. The profile parameters, critical dimension, feature height, and sidewall angle, have been obtained with the average 95.4% confidence limits of 1.8nm, 1.8nm, and 0.32°, respectively. The narrowest measured top linewidth is 76nm. To accurately monitor the submicron topography evolution in real-time, we have introduced a non-linear filtering (NLF) algorithm, which on-line estimates the grating shapes based on pre-generated RCWA simulations. Using 2CSR, RCWA, and NLF, we have reported the first real-time in situ monitoring and endpoint detection of deep submicron structures during the RIE process. A follow-up experiment has exploited this technology to a real application level using a real-time SE on an industrial production chamber. We propose that a normal-incidence (NI) SE can be used for
high-
accuracy topography measurements. Experimental measurements of 350nm linewidth structures and theoretical simulations of 10nm linewidth structures show that SE at near NI is capable of grating measurements in extreme submicron or nanometer regime. We have also demonstrated that the novel near-NI approach improves the ability to separately extract topography parameters more than the traditional off-normal SE. Finally, I demonstrate the importance of deep UV light for detailed shape modeling. All experimental measurements are in strong agreement with cross-sectional SEM photos.
