▼ Background: Exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) increases one’s risk of a variety of deleterious health outcomes. SHS is particularly troublesome among infants, a higher proportion of whom are exposed to SHS compared to adults and whose physiology predisposes them to additional adverse health outcomes. Past behavioral interventions have been successful in reducing exposure during infancy, but the mechanisms by which interventions have been successful are unclear. The purpose of this analysis was to explore the effect of a SHS exposure reduction intervention on infant salivary cotinine as mediated through social support and SHS avoidance behaviors. Methods: This analysis included participants (n = 290) from the Baby’s Breath study, a randomized controlled trial of a tailored, video-based intervention that aimed to reduce the SHS exposure of women during pregnancy and their infant after birth. Ordinary least squares regression was used to construct mediation models to assess the impact of social support during and after pregnancy on SHS avoidance behaviors and infant exposure. Measures included social support, the Martinelli Scale, Avoidance of Tobacco Smoke, and salivary cotinine concentration was used as a biomarker for SHS exposure. Results: Social support measured at 32 weeks gestation and 12 weeks postpartum were both positively related to SHS avoidance behaviors. SHS avoidance behaviors were inversely associated with infant salivary cotinine concentration. The intervention influenced participant’s perceived social support at 12 weeks postpartum but not during pregnancy. As such, the intervention influenced infant salivary cotinine through social support at 12 weeks postpartum but not at 32 weeks gestation. Discussion: In the Baby’s Breath study, social support positively influenced participant’s SHS avoidance behaviors while with her infant, which in turn reduced their SHS exposure. However, the intervention only impacted participant’s perceived social support after birth. It could be that repeated exposure to the intervention over time was required for women to galvanize social support around them. The results of this analysis support the inclusion of social support in future SHS exposure reduction interventions, and suggest that interventions aiming to reduce infant exposure should be delivered during pregnancy as well as after birth.

▼

In this study a model was introduced which simulates the effects of passive walking support on the human body. Passive support was designed with the goal to reduce human energy expenditure for walking. The XPED exoskeleton and three alternative exoskeleton configurations were tested. The XPED is an exoskeleton with two artificial tendons, passive elastic structures which provide a moment at the hip, knee and ankle joint. In previous research, simulation showed 42.5% reduction in joint work. In experiments however, no reduction in energy expenditure was measured. The old simulation model lacks modelling of human anatomy. This was considered a very important reason for the mismatch which was seen between reduction in energy expenditure in the model and with experiments. The new model includes the modelling of human muscles, tendons, and dissipation of negative work. This also enabled new measures for energy expenditure: muscle work, in which eccentric muscle work contributes less than concentric muscle work, and muscle moments. It was hypothesised that with this new model the work efficiency, the amount of reduction in work, of the XPED exoskeleton would be predicted much lower. The new model showed 37.0% reduction in muscle work. Although efficiency was lower, the presence of anatomic structures in the model did not greatly affect the functionality of the XPED. An optimisation of the XPED parameters to the new work measure for energy expenditure even brought work efficiency up to 43.6%. The other support configurations provided support at the hip, at the knee, or at the hip and the knee joint. It was hypothesised that these configurations were as efficient as the XPED, since mechanical work at the ankle is already performed passively to large extent. This had to be rejected. Work efficiencies of the hip, knee and combined support were respectively 18.7%, 18.4% and 37.1%. Although efficiencies were lower, these configurations are still worth evaluating since they have the benefit that the exoskeleton can be smaller and that the naturally present and very efficient energy saving mechanism in the ankle is not disturbed. A pilot experiment where these configurations were tested with the LOPES exoskeleton did not prove reduction in energy expenditure.

▼ Passive sampling is a popular technology for environmental monitoring, and silicone is an ideal choice for a variety of passive sampling applications. The silicone work described here encompasses laboratory and field studies that demonstrate the use of this polymer in novel environments, for new applications, and for emerging compounds. Unique attributes of silicone polymers make them advantageous for targeting semi-polar contaminants not typically targeted in environmental research. Oxygenated polycyclic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) represent an emerging class of contaminants with chemical properties well suited to silicone passive sampling. The first challenge was to create a robust OPAH analytical method to examine these compounds in silicone, and two independent methods (liquid as well as gas chromatography) were optimized and demonstrated for 24 ketone-containing aromatic hydrocarbons, more than other methods published at that time. An isotopically labeled OPAH was used as an internal standard in contrast to previous methods which used only labeled polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The efficacy of each method was further demonstrated by comparing standard addition to internal standard quantitation. Next, OPAHs, PAHs and pesticides were used to compare several silicone materials with low density polyethylene (LDPE) at Portland Harbor Superfund field sites. Target analyte detection, precision, and practical considerations in the field and laboratory were used to evaluate silicone materials. Individual differences between LDPE and the most optimal silicone polymer for OPAHs highlighted the importance of using optimized methods or polymer choice for a particular analyte class. Biggest differences were found for 9-fluorenone, benzanthrone, and 5,12-naphtacenequinone. After this successful polymer comparison, the next study involved a novel application of silicone wristbands as personal passive samplers. Commercially available silicone was modified to serve as personal samplers and tested in both an ambient and occupational settings. Silicone wristbands provided a valuable tool to monitor individual exposures that were time weighted averages of personalized exposure. The ambient study captured 49 individual compounds including PAHs, personal and consumer products, pesticides, phthalates, and as well as other industrial compounds. In the occupational study, roofers working with hot asphalt wore silicone samplers and evidence of both temporal (day versus week deployment, p < 0.05), and spatial (between two roofing sites p < 0.05), sensitivity was found for PAHs, and two OPAHs were detected in some samplers as well (9-fluorenone and benzofluorenone). Finally, another novel application was developed for silicone as an in vivo monitor of persistent organic pollutants. Human silicone breast explants were found to contain chlorinated pesticides, and p,p-DDE and PCB 118 were used in murine models as an in vivo sampler to explore silicone as a biomonitor and sink of organic contaminant exposure. Silicone was found to sequester… Advisors/Committee Members: Anderson, Kim A. (advisor), Beckman, Joe (committee member).

▼ Background: Data on the typical daily exposure of non-smokers to second-hand smoke (SHS) are limited. The aim of this study was to estimate the SHS exposure encountered by adults and children in Scotland and to examine the proportion of total exposure received within different microenvironments. Methods: Primary research was carried out to gather information on SHS concentrations within cars in both simulated and real-life settings. Observational work was also carried out to determine the prevalence of exposure to SHS in cars. Further work was carried out to gather information on occupational SHS exposure. Data from all of these components were combined with data from previously published sources to produce estimates of how much SHS-derived PM2.5 exposure is typically received by adults and children within different micro-environments. Results: The contribution to total SHS exposure from each micro-environment was calculated. This was carried out for a child living in: a non-smoking home; a home where only the father smokes; a home where only the mother smokes; and a home where both parents smoke. In addition to this the equivalent dose of SHS inhaled (expressed as a mass) were also calculated for each of the micro-environments. This method was also used to determine the SHS contribution of different micro-environments for adult non-smokers. Exposure calculations were carried out assuming that exposure in the home was reduced to the levels found in non-smoking homes and the contribution from the remaining micro-environments unchanged. Observations identified that 2.4% of cars carrying children exposed children to SHS and exposure intensities during smoking car journeys can be particularly high with peak exposures ranging from 55 to 886 μgm-3. Conclusion: This is the first study to estimate the SHS exposure contributions from different microenvironments encountered by children and adults in Scotland. This study indicates that encouraging behavioural change in terms of smoking in home and car micro-environments has the greatest potential to reduce non-smokers’ daily exposure to tobacco derived fine particulate matter.

▼ Held every two years in Washington DC and run by the US Department of Energy the Solar Decathlon is a competition that challenges architecture and engineering students from all over the world to come up with new and innovative ways to design and construct low energy homes. For the first time in the competition’s history a team from New Zealand was selected to compete in the 2011 competition. This thesis documents the design process of the First Light house from concept to construction focusing on the relationship between energy and architecture in a New Zealand home designed for the Solar Decathlon. The challenge for the young architects and engineers competing in the competition is to develop ways of reducing energy consumption and to raise awareness of the energy saving benefits of highly efficient home design to the public. Despite this being the underlying philosophy, this thesis suggests that the competition is structured in a way that rewards technology over passive design innovation in architecture. A typical Solar Decathlon house is epitomized by a large solar array generating the power needing to run an oversized mechanical system. The New Zealand entry challenges this trend with the design of a home that is focused on ways to improve passive strategies for reducing energy use first before relying on technology. The question is whether a home designed with this philosophy in mind can still meet the strict requirements set out in the ten contests embedded in the Solar Decathlon? Designing a home to meet these requirements was also, in many ways, contradictory to the house’s philosophy. The conceptual driver of the First Light house was the iconic ‘kiwi bach.’ Commonly defined as “something you built yourself, on land you don’t own, out of materials you borrowed or stole,” the bach gives a unique model of comfort and how people might live in a space. Its values are associated with a relationship with the outdoors, a focus on the social aspects of the home and a simple use of technology. As the project developed it was also apparent ‘the bach’, if it were used all year round, could become a symbol for the current state of many New Zealand homes; cold, damp, unhealthy and wasteful of energy. Finding ways to improve this while maintaining the essence of the bach became one of the major motivations throughout the design process. The challenge with this was that the goals associated with designing a ‘kiwi bach’ for a New Zealand climate were, in many ways, conflicting with the requirements of the Solar Decathlon competition. Using comprehensive thermal modelling the First Light house was designed as a net zero energy home that could meet the requirements of two quite unique briefs for two distinctly different climates. Throughout this thesis the often contradictory relationship between the First Light house as a Solar Decathlon entry and the First Light house as an energy efficient ‘kiwi bach’ is explained. Broken into three parts the thesis looks at the passive design of the home and the optimization of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Vale, Brenda, Vale, Robert.

▼ In recent years, concern about the future increase in energy consumption for cooling office buildings due to climate change has motivated the use of alternative cooling technologies. Development of passive and low energy cooling (PALENC) technologies is an example of the efforts being taken to alleviate this concern. Previous researchers have investigated the contribution of PALENC technologies to savings in energy consumption for cooling buildings. Few studies, however, have investigated the cost-effectiveness of applying PALENC technologies in office building retrofits. This study investigates the energy performance and cost-effectiveness of various PALENC technologies for retrofitting a typical office building in Melbourne. The first part of this study examines the energy performance and financial evaluation of PALENC technologies using literature based analysis. The following PALENC technologies were initially explored: a) passive design features; b) night ventilation; c) ground cooling; d) direct and indirect evaporative cooling; e) night sky radiative cooling; f) chilled beam (radiant ceiling cooling) and g) slab cooling. Two most cost-effective PALENC technologies suitable for retrofitting a typical office building in Melbourne, namely passive design features and indirect evaporative cooling were identified. The second part of this research investigates the potential energy saving of selected passive designs features including shading instalment and window replacement. The investigated shading strategies were horizontal overhangs for north-, east- and west-facing windows and vertical fins for west- and east-facing windows. Four types of window glazing were investigated as window replacement strategies: single clear, single reflective, lowE double glazing and lowE plus reflective double glazing. TRNSYS simulations showed that installing external shading devices on a typical commercial office building in Melbourne can save cooling energy consumption by 0.6%–11%, depending on the type and orientation of the shading device applied. The energy performance of the different window types showed that the cooling energy reduction yielded by the reflective single glazing window is about 25%. The results of financial analysis showed that all of the selected passive design strategies have higher costs of conserved energy (CCEs), compared to the current cost of supplied electricity in Melbourne. The third part of this study, investigates the energy and financial performance of indirect evaporative cooling (IEC) combined with selected passive design features for retrofitting a typical office building in Melbourne. TRNSYS simulations showed 60% saving in electricity consumption as compared to the conventional cooling system. The financial analysis using levelised cost of cooling (LCOC) indicated that replacing the current conventional cooling system with an IEC is cost-effective only if the current cooling system is in poor condition and needed to be replaced by a new one. It was also found that LCOC for applying IEC…

▼ This thesis presents a comprehensive study into the passive thermal management of high-voltage power electronics converters for use in augmented grid assets capable of performing power routing on the electricity grid. The work has focused on the thermal transport of single-phase closed thermosiphon systems incorporating a secondary parallel flow path for cooling an additional, typically smaller, thermal load associated with the power electronics converters. Dual-loop thermosiphon passive thermal management systems were incorporated into a grounded compact dynamic phase angle regulator (GCD-PAR) that aimed to facilitate power routing and reduce line losses on the power grid. The power router utilizes power electronics that reject heat to a planar area, or cold plate, which must be cooled by an entirely passive system to comply with the minimum 30 year mean time between failures (MTBF) consistent with grid reliability requirements. This design includes a secondary-loop cooling path that utilizes the cooling oil already present in the transformer to also cool the power router. An analytical multi-physics thermosiphon model is developed that couples existing fluid dynamic and heat transfer correlations to create a description of the steady state operation of a specific cylindrical 50 kVA transformer augmented with a thermosiphon. The model is validated experimentally and found to solve for steady state baseplate temperatures under maximum load within 2°C in 0.1 seconds. The model is then modified for a specific rectilinear 1 MVA transformer augmented with three thermosiphons. The 1 MVA model is validated experimentally and found to solve for steady state baseplate temperatures under maximum load within 4 °C in 0.2 seconds. The analytical model proves to be accurate and solve quickly with various geometric configurations and thermal loads. Advisors/Committee Members: Mayor, Rhett J. (advisor), Ghiaasiaan, Mostafa S.

The protection and management of valuable Earth orbits and operational satellites for military, commercial and research objectives is widely recognised as a task of urgency and complexity. A critical component of this task is the tracking, characterization and identification of these active satellites as well as the space debris objects that pose a threat to them. As such advances in methods and technologies to improve these functions are constantly being investigated. One such broad method being employed to enhance space situational awareness (SSA) is the analysis of sunlight reflected from Earth-orbiting satellites. There are a number of studies that have focussed on studying variations in the intensity to learn more about a satellite???s operational status and activity however there is very little research on how the polarization of the reflected light could be used to gain additional knowledge about the reflecting body. To understand the utility of doing so as a means of characterizing satellites and space debris objects, an experiment was designed and conducted to gain insight into the trends of relative reflective polarimetric behaviors of some common spacecraft construction materials. For this thesis, five material samples were studied: two types of triple-junction photovoltaic cells, a bare 6061-T6 aluminum panel and a white-coated aluminum panel. The samples were mounted on a goniometer in which the illumination and reflection angles could be precisely controlled. The samples were then illuminated with a collimated unpolarised white light meant to simulate the Sun. The reflected light from the sample was then analysed using a dichroic linear polariser and a charge-coupled device (CCD) sensitive to optical wavelength light. From these measurements, the Stokes parameters were determined and the degree of linear polarisation and angle of polarisation calculated. The resulting values were plotted to allow a qualitative assessment of the trends in the polarimetric characteristics of each material with respect to illumination and observation geometries. The findings from this research project yielded two significant outcomes. First, the results provide a general understanding of how the polarisation trends of the reflected light vary as the illumination and observational geometry is changed. Second, the polarisation trends differed between samples for a given illumination and observational geometry. It can be concluded from these results that studying the polarimetric characteristics of light reflected from resident space objects can aid in their characterization and ultimately contribute to the advancement of gaining and maintaining SSA.

Although the technology of integrated passives in power electronics has been receiving a lot of attention recently, behavior prediction of these integrated passive structures is still not on an acceptable level for widespread applications. A lot of work has been done recently on accurate electromagnetic modelling of these structures, but the complex models investigated are not practical for the average engineer in power electronics to apply, and integrated passives remain a subject of interest in research and academia, but very infrequently applied in industry. The aim of this dissertaion is to provide a bridge between the mathematical models currently being investigated, and circuit level behaviour prediction which may be used by practicing engineers to design power electronics circuits which make use of integrated passives. The history of integrated passives is first investigated, along with historical modelling techniques and their shortcomings. Two similar modern distributed circuit theory models are investigated and aspects of both are combined to form the model that is used as a mathematical foundation for this dissertation. This model is analysed, and some methods are proposed for integrating the resulting differential equations. A transformation is proposed for transforming the transmission network representa- tion of the structure, which results from integrating the differential equations, into a network of admittances, which may be used for applying the technique of nodal analysis to a circuit containing an integrated passive structure. This admittance network model is used to implement a frequency domain simulation model in a practical circuit simulator. i In the integration of the circuit differential equations, the method of modal analysis is applied. In this analysis a system of wave equations is derived and solved in the frequency domain. By applying the inverse fourier transform to these wave solutions it is found that the modal wave propogation is a simple time shift in the time domain for each propogating mode in lossless structures. Applying this observation a transient model is implemented in the circuit simulator for lossless integrated passive structures. Although this is limited to the lossless case, the simulator still appears to be giving good results. The zero voltage switching two inductor boost converter was then investigated to construct a case study for the simulator. The topology was analysed, and a design method found. A discrete converter was constucted to verify the analysis. The design of an integrated passive structure for this converter is then presented, and the simulation results show that the simulator may is robust enough to be applied to practical problems. The integrated converter could unfortunately not be constructed due to materials processing limitations, and thus the simulation result remain to be experimentally verified. The results do however closely match those predicted by the widely used lumped element models, apart from some high order effects.

A Clinical Paper Submitted In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science in Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner

Smoking and secondhand smoke are harmful to health. As information about the negative affects has increased, so have regulations. Regulations are growing with the workplace becoming a primary target. The workplace is a particularly sensitive environment, potentially affecting the smoker's job security if the regulations are not adhered to. Sentinel studies, such as COMMIT and ASSIST, focused on the effect of policies and regulations on smoking reduction. They provided beneficial evidence in the light to moderate smoker, but failed to show benefits in the heavier smoker. The purpose of this study was to examine the experience of heavy smokers working in smoking regulated environments in order to understand their challenges and discover their adaptive mechanisms. This information can then be applied to the development of effective interventions. The theoretical framework for the study was Roy's Adaptation Model. It was applied with the nursing process to analyze behavior and evaluate the effectiveness of smoking regulations on the person's adaptability. A qualitative descriptive phenomenological method was utilized to gain information about the smokers' experiences. Regulated smokers were chosen through a nonrandomized, purposive sample method involving three types of worksites including: factory, medical facility, and restaurant. Ten individuals, 18 years of age or older, who smoked, on average, a minimum of 10 cigarettes a day, and worked at least 8 hours per day in a smoking regulated environment were included in the study.

▼ Passive radar systems use illuminations by transmitters of opportunity, such as digital audio broadcasts (DAB), to detect and track targets. In bistatic radar systems, the transmitting and receiving antennas are separate and widely spaced. In an era of strong demand for enhanced surveillance, proponents of passive bistatic radar (PBR) technology assert that it offers many benefits, in particular the use of already existing transmitters. PBR systems suffer from high system complexity however. This presents challenges for PBR designers and researchers, as testing ideas experimentally is prohibitively expensive. Direct signal interference (DSI) is a major problem in all passive radar systems and occurs when the direct signals transmitted by the illuminators are stronger than the target return signals. This can lead to a large reduction in the dynamic range that is available for target detection. DAB networks are particularly problematic because there are often a large number of illuminators present that are transmitting virtually identical signals at the same frequency. This thesis describes the development of a realistic model/simulator for a general PBR system that can be used to develop radar algorithms, DSI mitigation techniques and optimise the design of radar systems. The simulator can be applied to multi-transmitter/multi-receiver systems, which allows researchers to test ideas without building equipment. In this thesis, a brief introduction is given to PBR, including its history, challenges and an overview of radar modelling and simulation. A rudimentary PBR model is then described and verified by comparison of a simulated radar signal produced by the model with that of an off-the-air radar signal. The rudimentary model is made more realistic by the addition of more sophisticated propagation effects, namely, diffraction, multipath and depolarisation. Further enhancements are made with the development of radar cross section and antenna gain components. The model is then used to simulate a number of realistic scenarios involving typical aircraft flight paths around the University of Bath in the UK. Finally, the model is applied to the testing of a DSI mitigation technique, namely, shielding by topography, using the Bath region as a test case. The success of the simulation results suggests that the technique can be used in the Adelaide area of South Australia. The simulator serves as a virtual multi-static environment for developing applications such as a tracker. A tracker would need to function in a variety of situations, and its operation would be affected by factors such as terrain and DSI. A detailed knowledge of the propagation environment would be necessary for the development of such a tracker, and the simulator can provide this knowledge.

▼ Les cours d’eaux et eaux souterraines sont par nature connectés. Sous des climats tempérés, par exemple, l’écoulement des eaux souterraines dans les rivières fourni le flux de base composant le débit du cours d’eau. Les eaux souterraines alimentent les rivières lors des périodes sèches et sont pour cette raison cruciales pour maintenir les écosystèmes aquatiques et les zones humides. Les échanges entre eau souterraine et rivières régulent le transport des contaminants entre ces deux compartiments hydrologiques. Dans ce travail, nous avons étudié la répartition spatiale des apports en eau souterraine vers les rivières et le transport de contaminants organiques, des eaux souterraines et des sédiments, vers les rivières. Premièrement, nous nous sommes concentrés sur le développement d’un outil qui puisse décomposer la répartition spatiale des apports en eau souterraine, à une échelle métrique ou submétrique, mais avec un étendue qui couvre une section de rivière jusqu’à plusieurs centaines de mètres de long. Nous avons utilisé la technique de cartographie des températures du lit des rivières. Cette approche utilise le gradient existant entre les eaux souterraines (dont les températures restent pratiquement constantes durant l’année) et les cours d’eaux (dont les températures varient de façon saisonnière) pour quantifier les apports en eau souterraine. Les températures des cours d’eau peu profonds peuvent être suivies de façon temporelle, relativement facilement et à moindre coût sur une centaine d’emplacements le long d’une section de rivière. Nous avons supposé que les températures de lit cartographiées peuvent être reliées de façon quantitave aux apports en eau souterraine en applicant l’équation chaleur-diffusion-advection. L’hypothèse clé de l’approche cartographique est que les températures du lit sont exclusivement influencées par les apports en eau souterraine et ne sont pas perturbées par les variations diurnes de température à la surface, qui se propagent dans le lit. Nous avons évalué cette hypothèse pour les températures du lit de la rivière Pine, Ontario, Canada. Dans les conditions où la rivière est alimentée par la nappe, les variations diurnes de température sont negligeables à une profondeur de 0.2 mètres en dessous la surface du lit. Quand les eaux de surface s’infiltrent, le signal de température se propage en profondeur et la température du lit ne sera plus complètement indépendante des variations diurnes de température. Cependant, dans les conditions où la rivière est alimentée par la nappe un état quasi stable s’applique, par rapport à des variations diurnes de température. Pour améliorer la robustesse de la méthode de cartographie des températures du lit des rivières, nous avons mesuré simultanément les températures du lit à cinq profondeurs en utilisant une sonde de température multi-profondeur, récemment construite. A la différence d’une cartographie des températures à une seule profondeur uniforme, un profil de température composé de cinq mesures est obtenu. Par conséquent, le flux d’eau estimé… Advisors/Committee Members: François (Dir.), Mario (Codir.).

▼ Volcanic passive margins (VPM) initiate with the eruption of flood basalts in continental rift settings that overlie an active mantle plume. Magmatism on conjugate VPM’s increases in volume and intensity during continued lithospheric stretching and includes the generation of igneous belts ranging from 10-200+ km in width and to 8-24 km-thick. Conjugate volcanic passive margin belts include seaward-dipping reflectors (SDR’s) whose dips range from 0 to 20°. I use 33,000 line km of 40-km-record 2D seismic reflection data to identify a VPM beneath the Demerara Rise, offshore Suriname and to investigate VPM’s along the conjugate margins of the South America (Brazil and Uruguay) and West Africa (Namibia). My 5500 km of 2D seismic data from the Demerara Rise - previously characterized as a continental plateau – reveals a basement composed of >22- km-thick, 250-km-long, steeply-dipping (>20°) packages of SDR’s related to Jurassic rifting of North America and South America. 2D gravity modeling and VPM analogs are used to support its proposed magmatic origin. I investigated the crustal structure of conjugate VPMs in Uruguay/Southern Brazil and Namibia using 27,500 km of 2D seismic data. An asymmetrical distribution of SDRs is proposed as a consequence of increased plate velocities relative to a fixed mantle position. The faster plate – South America - contains 30% less volume of SDR’s (201,700 km3) compared to the slower plate – Africa (296,400 km3). I identify rifting along crustal weaknesses inherited from Paleozoic orogenic belts trending either parallel or perpendicular to the Cretaceous rift margin. I calculate crustal stretching factors (Δc) for: 1) rift-orthogonal orogenic belts (Δc=4.3-5); 2) suture zones and rift-parallel orogenic belts (Δc=2.5-3.5). Obliquely-oriented belts show evidence of moderate thinning with intermediate thinning factors. The relationship between crustal and trend of crustal fabric is supported by my compilation of thinning factors from other rift zones worldwide Advisors/Committee Members: Mann, Paul (committee member), Bird, Dale (committee member), Sager, William W.

▼ Killer whales inhabiting coastal waters of the northeastern Pacific are listed under the Canadian Species at Risk Act, which requires the identification of critical habitats for the recovery of their populations. Little is known about their distribution during the winter and what areas are important for their survival during these months. Passive acoustic monitoring is a valuable complementary method to traditional visual and photographic surveys although it has seldom been used to study killer whales and there are limitations in practice. There is a need to develop tools and protocols to maximize the efficiency of such studies. In this thesis, long-term acoustic data collected with autonomous recorders were analyzed 1) to assess the performance of two types of analysis (Manual and Long Term Spectral Averages) for detecting and identifying killer whale calls and to compare the effects of using two different duty cycles (1/3 and 2/3); and 2) to investigate the seasonal occurrence of different killer whale populations at two sites off the west coasts of Vancouver Island and Washington: Swiftsure Bank and Cape Elizabeth. Both the use of Long Term Spectral Averages and a lower duty cycle resulted in a decrease in call detection and resolution of call identification, leading to underestimations of the amount of time the whales spent at the site. A compromise between a lower resolution data processing method and a higher duty cycle (and vice-versa) is therefore suggested for future passive acoustic monitoring studies of killer whales. Killer whale calls were detected on 186 days at Swiftsure Bank and on 39 days at Cape Elizabeth. The seasonal occurrence of killer whales at Swiftsure Bank highlights its importance as a killer whale hotspot, with year-round presence of Southern Residents and British Columbia Transients, Northern Residents in spring and fall, and California Transients on rare occasions. These results support the expansion of Southern Resident’s critical habitat to include Swiftsure Bank. Temporal habitat partitioning between Resident populations was observed at Cape Elizabeth, with Southern Residents detected from January through June and Northern Residents from July to September. These results show that Northern Residents use the southern parts of their range more frequently than previously thought. Both Transient populations were frequently detected throughout the year, suggesting habitat overlapping. Advisors/Committee Members: Chapman, N. Ross (supervisor).
