▼ 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. Advisors/Committee Members: Van der Helm, F.C.T., Van Dijk, W..

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ This thesis is concerned with the transformerless synthesis of passive electrical networks, which is motivated by mechanical control based on inerters. Passive network synthesis is a significant topic of circuits and systems theory, which is to physically design a circuit containing passive components according to a given function describing the network, such as an impedance, admittance, transfer function, etc. The most general one-port transformerless realization approach, Bott-Duffin procedure, always generates many redundant elements, and the transformerless realization problem for multi-port passive networks is still an open question. After the 1970s, research interest of passive network synthesis has declined due to the rapid development of integrated circuits. More than one decade ago, a new kind of passive mechanical elements named the inerter was invented, which completes the analogy between passive mechanical and electrical systems. As a result, passive network synthesis can be applied to the design of passive mechanical networks, which has been successfully utilized in a series of mechanical control systems, such as vehicle suspensions, train suspensions, machine vibration systems, etc. Such a passive control method can have lower cost and higher reliability compared with the active control approach, and it has been shown that the introduction of the inerter can certainly enhance the system performances. Since in practice mechanical systems usually require low complexity due to the limitation of weight and space, research interest in transformerless synthesis of passive networks become significant and urgent for more effective mechanical control. In this thesis, the minimal realizability problem of a biquadratic impedance with double poles and zeros as a seven-element series-parallel network is investigated, which is the series or parallel connection of a three-element seriesparallel network and a four-element series-parallel network. Such a class of biquadratic impedances can provide fast transitions, which is expected to have advantages in some mechanical systems. A necessary and sufficient condition for such a realizability is presented. This thesis also solves the minimal realization problem for a third-order real symmetric matrix as the admittance of a three-port resistive network. A necessary and sufficient condition for the realizability is derived and the configurations to cover the condition are also presented. The investigation can provide guidance on minimal realization problems of more general n-port resistive networks and can be a first critical step toward solving the realizability of n-port RLC networks. Moreover, the results can be utilized to solve minimal realizations of one-port or two-port passive mechanical or electrical networks based on the elements extraction approach. In addition, this thesis is concerned with the realization problem for a class of transfer functions as a two-port RC ladder network with a specified gain. The cascade realization methodology and the…

▼ 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).

▼ 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.

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.

▼ The flow-excited acoustic resonance in shallow rectangular cavities can be a source of severe noise and/or excessive vibration. This phenomenon is excited when one of the acoustic modes in the accommodating enclosure is coupled with the flow instabilities resulting from the shear layer formation at the cavity mouth. In this thesis, two passive methods for suppressing the flow-excited acoustic resonance phenomenon are addressed. The first passive method considers the edge geometry effect on the phenomenon. Several edge geometries including chamfered, round, and different configurations of spoilers are considered. The effect of the spoilers dimensions is investigated to provide criteria that help designing and optimizing spoilers. Some of the spoilers are found to be effective in suppressing the acoustic resonance excitation, while some other edges including chamfered and round edges result in shifting the resonance excitations to higher velocities with amplification in the acoustic pressure. To enrich the understanding of the suppression mechanism introduced by these passive methods, hotwire measurements are performed revealing the existence of orthogonal vortices interacting with the shear layer at the cavity mouth. The second passive method investigated is the effect of placing a high frequency vortex generator (control cylinder) in vicinity of the upstream edge of the cavity on the acoustic resonance excitation. The method is investigated experimentally and numerically. The effectiveness of the control cylinder method is studied by investigating different cylinder diameters and locations on both horizontal and vertical directions. It is found that locating the cylinder at relatively small height from the bottom wall and with a distance of 25.4 mm upstream the leading edge can significantly suppress the resonance excitation. To further understand the interaction between the cylinder vortex shedding and the shear layer at the cavity mouth and the influence on the shear layer thickness, a 2D numerical simulation using K-epsilon and Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) models has been carried out and compared to the experimental results. For both passive methods, the study included two cavities with different aspect ratios (L/D=1.0 and L/D=1.67, L: cavity length, D: cavity depth) to address the effectiveness of the methods with respect to the cavity depth. The methods are investigated in flow with Mach number up to 0.45. All different configurations investigated are compared to the base case which is the bare cavity with sharp edges installed upstream and downstream. Advisors/Committee Members: Mohany, Atef.

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. An open-ended survey was conducted with voluntary participants. Measures were taken to ensure participant confidentiality and protection. The data was analyzed using Giorgi's method. Presenting themes served as the basis for future development of Nurse Practitioner interventions.

▼ This dissertation derives a novel signal processing framework that employs passive sonar to estimate the location of an acoustic source. The approach relies on modeling acoustic propagation, and is designed to estimate the location of a moving source radiating a low frequency tonal signal in a shallow water undersea environment. As the source moves through the ocean, spatial variability in the acoustic field resulting from multi-path propagation is mapped into temporal amplitude modulation of the received signal. The received signal is measured using a single hydrophone on the sea floor. The recorded amplitude modulation contains information about source location that is encoded by propagation effects. Unfortunately, accurate prediction of the received signal amplitude modulation is complicated by significant uncertainty regarding values of ocean environmental parameters that acoustic propagation models are sensitive to. To increase robustness against the resulting data-model mismatch, the localization framework uses Monte Carlo acoustic propagation models to estimate the acoustic field uncertainty resulting from uncertainty about ocean environmental parameters. The acoustic field uncertainty is represented with probability density functions, which are calculated using parametric, maximum entropy and kernel density estimators. The resulting probability density functions capture prior knowledge about acoustic propagation and environmental parameters without making unnecessary assumptions. The localization framework uses a grid-based Bayesian approach to recursively calculate the posterior probability density function of source location based on Monte Carlo model results. The Bayesian approach provides a principled method by which prior knowledge about environmental parameters, source dynamics, source characteristics, and acoustic propagation physics can be combined with received acoustic data to calculate the most likely location of a source. The result is a passive sonar signal processing algorithm that uses acoustic propagation model results to estimate the location of a moving source radiating a tonal signal in shallow water based on the amplitude modulations recorded on a single hydrophone. The localization framework derived in this dissertation is distinct from Bayesian matched field processing in that it neither relies on a vertical array nor computes modal amplitudes from the received data. Results using SWellEx-96 Event S5 data are shown for each step of the framework.

▼ 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).

▼ Motivated by the few work has done on the performance measurement of graphene passive devices compared to graphene active devices, several different types of passive devices are fabricated and measured. In general, the fabricated devices are divided into two parts: the DC devices and the RF devices, which based on the different electrical properties we measure in Chapter 7.For the DC devices, attention has been given to the resistance of CVD graphene that we later use in all the RF devices. The Dirac point seems only appears in the exfoliated graphene measurement, which is caused by the doping concentration difference between the exfoliated and CVD graphene. Meanwhile, the sheet resistance of graphene is calculated based on the four-point measurement. The sheet resistance of CVD graphene is around 291 Ω/sqFor the RF devices, the measurement is conducted on the two types of graphene passive devices from 0-110 GHz. The first type of graphene devices is the graphene CPW resonator. We measure the input impedances of the graphene resonators on different substrates (Si/SiO2 and GaAs) and with different graphene lengths (440 μm, 500 μm and 1415 μm). For the graphene resonators on Si/SiO2 substrate, the input impedance does show the resonance shift compared to the graphene-removed structure. The frequency position of the resonance that appears is consistent with the theoretical calculation result. Besides, the influence of the external conditions such as temperature on the performance of graphene resonators has been investigated. The input impedance resonance shows the shift when the external temperature varying from 40o C（313K） to 160o C （433K）. This measurement is undertaken with the graphene resonator on GaAs substrate.The second type of graphene devices is the graphene CPW transmission line on Si/SiO2 substrate. The S-parameters measured from VNA reveal that graphene within the transmission line acts as the transmission channel, which is a little lossy at the microwave frequency range. The poor transmission is also partially caused by the mismatching of the parasitic impedance, as well as the substrate loss, which is verified by the comparison result between the graphene transmission line and the graphene-removed transmission line. Similarly, the concern on the signal line coupling is also eliminated by using the graphene-removed structure. Advisors/Committee Members: WU, ZHIPENG Z, Wu, Zhipeng, Hu, Zhirun.
