Abstract:
Abstract For nearly a decade Carl W. Hamilton was in possession of one of the most important private collections of Italian Renaissance painting in America. A self-made millionaire from humble beginnings, the young Hamilton captivated the art dealer Joseph Duveen and Duveen’s foremost experts in Italian Renaissance painting, Bernard and Mary Berenson. By inspiring and instructing Hamilton, Duveen and the Berensons hoped to focus his wealth and ambition to create a great collection and thereby profit by both him and the glory of his achievement. Though Hamilton’s personal collection proved ephemeral, many of his most important works of art nevertheless found their way into American public collections. Furthermore, Hamilton’s formative collecting experience – which developed his prejudices and preferences, sharpened his keen negotiating skills and solidified his zeal for collecting – helped to shape two significant collections of Old Masters in the Carolinas: the Museum & Gallery at Bob Jones University and the North Carolina Museum of Art.

Abstract:
Augustus Hamilton (1853–1913) was a New Zealand ethnologist and naturalist who amassed a significant collection of fossils, mostly of birds, during his career. Today, those fossils are housed in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (NMNZ). While some fossils have been catalogued and integrated into the collection of the NMNZ, a large part remained unsorted and uncatalogued. The present study brings an integrated view of Hamilton’s collection at the NMNZ, highlighting the most significant fossils. In total, there are 3692 specimen lots collected by Hamilton in the NMNZ representing a large sample of taxa and a wide range of locations around Aotearoa New Zealand. Most fossils are of Holocene age and belong to birds. The collection includes type specimens, circa 250 specimen lots belonging to extinct species, and specimens belonging to otherwise poorly represented species in natural history collections. We hope that our study makes Hamilton’s fossils visible and more readily available for future research.

Abstract:
AbstractA diregular bipartite tournament is a balanced complete bipartite graph whose edges are oriented so that every vertex has the same in- and out-degree. In 1981 Jackson showed that a diregular bipartite tournament contains a Hamilton cycle, and conjectured that in fact its edge set can be partitioned into Hamilton cycles. We prove an approximate version of this conjecture: for every ε > 0 there exists n0 such that every diregular bipartite tournament on 2n ≥ n0 vertices contains a collection of (1/2–ε)n cycles of length at least (2–ε)n. Increasing the degree by a small proportion allows us to prove the existence of many Hamilton cycles: for every c > 1/2 and ε > 0 there exists n0 such that every cn-regular bipartite digraph on 2n ≥ n0 vertices contains (1−ε)cn edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles.

Abstract:
Information about a rare allele of phosphoglucomutase (PGM) that is shared by `Braeburn' and 16% of cultivars in the New Zealand Cultivar Collection was combined with historical information about cultivar distribution to select a set of 15 cultivars for a more detailed genetic analysis of their relatedness to the key New Zealand apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) `Braeburn'. DNA from all 16 cultivars was examined by RFLP analysis using 41 probe-enzyme combinations and also by RAPD analysis with 39 selected primers. The RFLP and RAPD data excluded a proposal that `Lady Hamilton' and `Braeburn' are genetically identical. All cultivars except `Lady Hamilton' were excluded as potential parents for `Braeburn' based on incompatible RFLP banding. Assessment of genetic distances between `Braeburn' and the other 15 cultivars from RFLP and RAPD data demonstrated that `Lady Hamilton' was more closely related to `Braeburn' than all others. We conclude that there is a high likelihood that `Lady Hamilton' is one of the parents of `Braeburn'.

Abstract:
Sylvia D. Hamilton’s collection of poems And I Alone Escaped To Tell You (2014) revolves around the vindication of the little remembered legacy of slavery of Africadians – George Elliott Clarke’s neologism to refer to African Canadians from the Maritime provinces – which acts as a metaphor of the silenced history of Black Canadians. To do so, Hamilton relies on memory work through the lens of resilience and, hence, participates in the recent post-trauma paradigm that is intent on highlighting resistance rather than victimhood. Thus, the resilient memory that emerges from the collection dismisses the position of victims for Africadians and, contrarily, focuses on the capacity to ‘bounce back’, to withstand historical adversities, to endure by being malleable and to adapt to conditions of crisis. Simply put, this resilient memory acts in the poems as the dignified exercise to keep on reinstating and vindicating the silenced history of Black Canada.

Maxwell, Christopher Luke. "The dispersal of the Hamilton Palace collection." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2014. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5197/.

Full text
Abstract:
By the penultimate decade of the nineteenth century, the Dukes of Hamilton, premier peers of Scotland, had amassed a superb collection of fine and decorative art. This outstanding collection was dispersed in two series of sales in 1882 and 1919, and the family’s principal seat, Hamilton Palace, ten miles south of Glasgow, was demolished in the 1920s and ′30s. Many of the most significant items are now in the great museums, galleries and libraries of the world or in important private collections. This study will begin by identifying the causes of the 12th Duke of Hamilton’s financial difficulties and the chain of events leading to the dispersal of the collection, with a comparative analysis on the backgrounds of the earlier enforced sales of Fonthill Abbey (1822), Wanstead House (1822), Strawberry Hill (1842), and Stowe (1848). It will continue with a thorough investigation of selected principal beneficiaries, what they acquired and why. These will include Christopher Beckett Denison; various members of the Rothschild family; William Dodge James; the 5th Earl of Rosebery; Sir Michael Shaw-Stewart; and the 5th Earl of Carysfort. A survey of the records of certain national museums and galleries will establish the involvement of the museum sector in the dispersal of the collection, with a review of these institutions’ acquisitions. Finally, this study will consider the extent to which North American collectors benefited from the sales through the international art trade between 1880 and 1930, culminating in an account of the purchase of the Hamilton Palace interiors by the New York dealers, French & Co., and their subsequent acquisition by the newspaper magnate and collector William Randolph Hearst. This research will add a new perspective to the understanding of the break-up of this renowned collection, and of the loss to Scotland’s material culture and heritage. It will contribute to current scholarship on nineteenth-century house sales and increase current knowledge of the socio-economic causes and effects of such events. The question of who benefited from the Hamilton Palace sales will be a new and original area of research within History of Collecting studies, contributing to a fuller appreciation of British collecting between 1880 and 1930 and of the international art trade and market from 1880 to the present day.

Full text
Abstract:
Throughout the last several decades many techniques have been developed in establishing solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDE). These techniques are characterized by their limited reach in solving large classes of NPDE. This body of work will study the analysis of NPDE using two of the most ubiquitous techniques developed in the last century. In this body of work, the analysis and techniques herein are applied to unsolved physical problems in both the fields of variational approximations and inverse scattering transform. Additionally, a new technique for estimating the error of a variational approximation is established. Note that the material in chapter 2, "Quantitative Measurements of Variational Approximations" has recently been published. Variational problems have long been used to mathematically model physical systems. Their advantage has been the simplicity of the model as well as the ability to deduce information concerning the functional dependence of the system on various parameters embedded in the variational trial functions. However, the only method in use for estimating the error in a variational approximation has been to compare the variational result to the exact solution. In this work, it is demonstrated that one can computationally obtain estimates of the errors in a one-dimensional variational approximation, without any a priori knowledge of the exact solution. Additionally, this analysis can be done by using only linear techniques. The extension of this method to multidimensional problems is clearly possible, although one could expect that additional difficulties would arise. One condition for the existence of a localized soliton is that the propagation constant does not fall into the continuous spectrum of radiation modes. For a higher order dispersive systems, the linear dispersion relation exhibits a multiple branch structure. It could be the case that in a certain parameter region for which one of the components of the solution has oscillations (i.e., is in the continuous spectrum), there exists a discrete value of the propagation constant, k(ES), for which the oscillations have zero amplitude. The associated solution is referred to as an embedded soliton (ES). This work examines the ES solutions in a CHI(2):CHI(3), type II system. The method employed in searching for the ES solutions is a variational method recently developed by Kaup and Malomed [Phys. D 184, 153-61 (2003)] to locate ES solutions in a SHG system. The variational results are validated by numerical integration of the governing system. A model used for the 1-D longitudinal wave propagation in microstructured solids is a KdV-type equation with third and fifth order dispersions as well as first and third order nonlinearities. Recent work by Ilison and Salupere (2004) has identified certain types of soliton solutions in the aforementioned model. The present work expands the known family of soliton solutions in the model to include embedded solitons. The existence of embedded solitons with respect to the dispersion parameters is determined by a variational approximation. The variational results are validated with selected numerical solutions.

Full text
Abstract:
Charles Jennens (1700-1773), the librettist of 'Saul', 'Messiah', 'Belshazzar', the final part of 'L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato', and probably 'Israel in Egypt', amassed a huge library of music that forms the bulk of what is now known as the Aylesford collection. Jennens's collection of Handel's music was unique among those of his contemporaries, not only because it includes part-books, but also because it is unusually comprehensive. The dissertation focuses on his copies of the sacred oratorios beginning with 'Saul' (1739) because most of the collection was copied in the 1740s, the sacred oratorios were the works that Jennens was most interested in, and 'Saul' was his first collaboration with Handel. As many of these manuscripts have not been the focus of modern scholarly attention, I first establish how, when, and by whom each manuscript was copied, in order to achieve a greater understanding of how and when Jennens assembled his collection, and what his reasons were for doing so. This close study of the manuscripts reveals that Jennens made extensive alterations to the verbal text, the structure, and the music of several oratorios in his collection. His amendments to 'Saul' and 'Belshazzar' shed light on his collaboration with Handel; and his amendments to 'Samson' and 'Joseph and his Brethren' provide insights into his attitude to Handel in the mid-1740s, his approach to word-setting, his views on the adaptation of Scripture for oratorio, and his beliefs and commitments. Jennens was a highly educated man whose activities were informed by two deeply held, conflicting allegiances: to the Anglican Church and to the deposed Stuarts. An examination of how he harnessed Handel's music to deliver his religious and political messages leads to a richer and more profound understanding of the works, of the relationship between Jennens, Handel, and Handel's music, and of their place in the religious and political context of the mid-eighteenth century.

Abstract:
The world bond market is nearly twice as large as the equity market. The goal of this dissertation is to study the dynamics of bond price. Among the liquidity risk, interest rate risk and default risk, this dissertation will focus on the liquidity risk and trading strategy. Under the mathematical frame of stochastic control, we model price setting in U.S. bond markets where dealers have multiple instruments to smooth inventory imbalances. The difficulty in obtaining the optimal trading strategy is that the optimal strategy and value function depend on each other, and the corresponding HJB equation is nonlinear. To solve this problem, we derived an approximate optimal explicit trading strategy. The result shows that this trading strategy is better than the benchmark central symmetric trading strategy.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the patronage and collecting of Alexander, l0th Duke of Hamilton, premier peer of Scotland, son-in-law of the maniacal collector William Beckford, and arguably the greatest collector in the history of Scotland. Using archival evidence from many sources, it begins with investigations of the Duke's early collecting of Italian Renaissance paintings and manuscripts, acquisitions associated with Russia between 1807 and 1814, involvement with Princess Pauline Borghese and the Bonaparte family, and purchases of porphyry and marble in Rome between 1817 and 1827. Chapters 5 and 6 focus on the extension and refurbishment of Hamilton Palace between 1822 and 1832 and parallel purchases of furniture, furnishings and applied art. Special attention is paid to motivation and the acquisition of items from the Fonthill sale, tapestries made for Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni, furniture owned by Marie-Antoinette, Napoleon's 1810 tea service, bronze statues (wrongly) associated with Francis I of France - which served to underline the Duke's status and "support" his claim to the French dukedom of Chatellerault - and porphyry busts of Roman emperors that were "superior" to the bronze copies in the British royal collection. Chapter 7 reviews the last grand projects: the extremely expensive great black marble staircase, planned equestrian monument of the Duke as Marcus Aurelius, and Hamilton Mausoleum. The final chapter concentrates on the later purchases of Classical items and plaster copies, second marble bust of Princess Pauline, Thorvaldsen 's Napoleon Apotheosized, and Old Master paintings, and discusses how the Duke displayed his collection, in colourways, running sequences, clusters, and "end statements". A ''post mortem " conclusion sketches out the continuity of collecting Napoleonic material, as a consequence of the Duke's son and heir's marriage to the daughter of the adopted daughter of Napoleon and cousin of Napoleon Ill and the dispersal of the collection and demolition of Hamilton Palace between 1880 and 1930.

Abstract:
This inter-disciplinary examination assesses the European ceramics in the collections of the Dukes of Hamilton over a number of generations. The study is based principally on the evidence found in the Hamilton and other archives, comprising both textual and visual sources. The second element that forms the foundation for the research is the connoisseurship of ceramics, both extant and those known only through documents. Evidence has revealed that the Duchesses of Hamilton play a major role in this work. A significant number of Hamilton ceramics have been newly identified and located, while their attribution, acquisition and history within the collections have been assessed and clarified.

Nesta tese, a hipótese da liquidez do activo com risco é relaxada. Assumimos que o mercado contém um investidor suficientemente grande para influenciar o preço do activo com risco. Contrariamente à equação de Black-Scholes clássica, as equações de Black-Scholes para modelos de mercados ilíquidos são não-lineares. Neste caso, é difícil garantir a existência e unicidade de solução clássica. Discutimos o conceito de soluções de viscosidade e a sua aplicação no problema proposto por Frey e Polte (2011). Wilmott e Schönbucher (2000) apresentaram um modelo de equilíbrio para mercados ilíquidos. Nós discutimos o conceito de estratégia auto-nanciada nessa abordagem e utilizamos o modelo de Wilmott-Schönbucher para estudar as consequências do comportamento colectivo nos mercados nanceiros. Derivamos a correspondente equação de Black-Scholes que é não-linear e tem condições de fronteira não usuais.

Abstract:
This thesis examines American Far Eastern policy from the beginning of the Franklin Roosevelt presidency through the early months of 1938. This study is chiefly concerned with the attack by Japanese aircraft on the USS Panay and its effect on the course of U.S. foreign policy. Particular attention is paid to the Anglo-American dialogue which occurred throughout the Far Eastern Crisis. Prior to the end of 1938, the U.S. administration’s position in Asia was dictated both by policies inherited from preceding administrations and by the extreme isolationism of the American people. This foundation effectively inhibited any cooperation with foreign powers. Relying on a reactive policy in the Far East, Washington remained aloof from entanglement as the President sought a plan which would permit U.S. involvement without inviting isolationist wrath. This paper traces an evolution in American Far Eastern policy, highlighting the Panay incident as a distinctly identifiable turning point whereby isolationism gave way to internationalism.

Abstract:
Il lavoro di ricerca condotto nel triennio dottorale è incentrato sul pittore anglo-napoletano Pietro Fabris, attivo a Napoli nella seconda metà del XVIII secolo come autore di vedute e scene di genere. Protetto dall'ambasciatore britannico William Hamilton, Fabris entrò in contatto con i Grand Tourists e con la Corte borbonica, riscuotendo largo consenso a Napoli e in Inghilterra. Esaminando l'evoluzione del fenomeno del Grand Tour a Napoli dal XVII al XVIII secolo, vengono delineate le ragioni e le dinamiche che hanno decretato il successo dei dipinti di Pietro Fabris presso i viaggiatori stranieri, in particolare britannici, mentre attraverso l'analisi di documenti inediti, rinvenuti nell'Archivio Storico del Banco di Napoli e nell'Archivio di Stato di Napoli, sono state ricostruite la vicenda biografica e le relazioni del pittore con acquirenti e collezionisti. La tesi è dunque punto di partenza per studi futuri sul pittore e sul collezionismo di vedute napoletane.

Abstract:
Sir William Hamilton’s Greek vase collection, assembled at Naples between the 1760s and 1790s, became a turning point in the reception of ancient material culture and hence in perceptions of classical antiquity. This chapter compares three angles of approach to the collection, each corresponding to a strand of distributed cognition. Extended cognition is represented by the catalogue which made the collection available to the reading public; embodied cognition is represented by the dance performances of Emma Hamilton, Sir William’s wife, who based her tableaux vivants of ancient life around the images represented on the vases; and enactive cognition by the aesthetic theory of the ‘feeling imagination’ developed by philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder, who visited the Hamiltons at Naples and commented unfavourably on Emma’s performances. I argue that Herder’s rejection of Emma’s kinetic reception of ancient artwork was predicated in part on his reluctance to place physical limitations on simulated movement.

He described his childhood as idyllic, full of freedom to roam, and of maternal inspiration and encouragement, and himself as a great burrower. He was fascinated by insects from an early age. A great-aunt gave him her insect collection, whose cases he used for his own (later ruing his discarding of the insects themselves), and also lent him a translation from Fabre, the great French naturalist and one of the first to study behaviour scientifically.

Abstract As previously discussed in the Introduction, when Lord Lansdowne wanted to dispose of his duplicate sculpture of a Wounded Amazon (figure 1), his dealer Gavin Hamilton initially hoped that she might be a desirable acquisition for one of his other British clients. George Grenville, Thomas Mansel Talbot, and James Hugh Smith Barry were variously offered and rejected the opportunity to acquire the unwanted Amazon, with Charles Townley canvassing Mansel Talbot at Hamilton’s explicit request. These potential purchasers for Lansdowne’s Amazon are testimony to the social networks of communication and exchange between collectors of marbles in Britain, networks often orchestrated by the dealers Gavin Hamilton and Thomas Jenkins in their correspondence from Rome. Using material in the Townley Archive, this chapter surveys similar negotiations in Townley’s acquisition of a bust of Antinous from the Duke of Dorset. This leads, via the London workshop of the sculptor Joseph Nollekens, into a discussion of the multiple but hitherto underwritten role of British sculptors in imported collections of ancient marbles in the second half of the 18th century, as producers of original works, as restorers of excavated specimens, dealers and draughtsmen. The drawings Townley commissioned of marbles in Italian collections and those in his own collection at Park Street introduce a cohort of artists in the urban centres of Rome and London who were responsible for reproducing sculpture on paper. Townley’s museo cartaceo is identified as a descendant of that of the early 17th-century Italian scholar and diplomat Cassiano dal Pozzo, which was acquired by King George III in 1762. A number of sheets from Townley’s paper museum have recently been re-identified as deriving from that of dal Pozzo—providing a tangible connection between the two collections.

Abstract:
Abstract Generally, a microscope with up to 300−400x magnification, two micromanipulators, two micrometer syringes, tubings, needle holders and injection chambers are needed for blastocyst injections. For the collection and handling of blastocysts a stereomicroscope (-50x magnification) is needed and a 37°C incubator (preferably with CO2 supply) for blastocyst culture. Since there are many suppliers of micromanipulation instruments many different configurations are possible. The set-up we use, and regard as comfortable, consists of a Leitz Labovert inverted microscope equipped with lOx oculars and lOx, 16x, 32x and 40x phase contrast objectives. This scope is mounted on a Leitz ground plate together with two Leitz micromanipulators with Leitz or Eppendorf needle holders. As syringes we use AGLA micrometer syringe holders (Vetter) equipped with Hamilton syringes (100μl to control injection needle, #710 or #1710, Hamilton; 250 μl to control holder needle, #725 or 1725) which are connected via thick-walled tubing to the needle holders (micrometer syringes can be also purchased from Narishige).

Abstract:
Chapter 10 discusses the appraisal of paintings relating to Leonardo and his school in seventeenth-century England and the state of understanding and connoisseurship of the artist at that time. The chapter focuses on the paintings relating to Leonardo documented in the Caroline collection, tracking their description in inventories and lists between 1639 and c. 1666. This provides context for the descriptions of the two paintings of Christ as Salvator Mundi attributed to Leonardo in the seventeenth-century British Royal Collection. The chapter identifies, where possible, the specific locations of these paintings within the complex of Stuart royal palaces, with particular reference to the manor of Greenwich. Since Greenwich was in the jointure of Queen Henrietta Maria, we examine whether there is any evidence to support the theory that the painting was brought from France on the occasion of her marriage in 1625. It concludes with an analysis of an important sighting of a Salvator Mundi type, attributed to Leonardo, recorded in the collection of the Duke of Hamilton, c. 1638. This introduces the possibility of a third Salvator Mundi attributed to Leonardo at the Stuart courts.

Abstract:
The “Author Problem” provides a concrete example of Bayesian inference. This chapter draws on work by Frederick Mosteller and David Wallace, who used Bayesian inference to assign authorship for unsigned Federalist Papers. The Federalist Papers were a collection of papers known to be written during the American Revolution. However, some papers were unsigned by the author, resulting in disputed authorship. The chapter provides a very basic Bayesian analysis of the unsigned “Paper 54,” which was written by Alexander Hamilton or James Madison. The example illustrates the principles of Bayesian inference for two competing hypotheses, including the concepts of alternative hypothesis, prior probability distribution, posterior probability distribution, prior probability of a hypothesis, likelihood of the observed data, and posterior probability of a hypothesis.

The book features a collection of essays that grew out of a conference with a similar title held in Leiden in 2013, but represents a thoroughly updated and expanded body of work. The title words ‘and Learning’ emphasize an important feature: whereas most existing treatments of Arabic studies in this period concentrate on their pursuit in the formal setting of the universities, several of the contributors examine how the language was acquired in other contexts. Notable in this respect is Mordechai Feingold’s ‘Learning Arabic in Early Modern England’, which illustrates the importance of self-study, even in the universities.

Abstract:
Abstract The chapter explores two key publications of Greek vases from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: the Collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman Antiquities from the Cabinet of the Hon. W. Hamilton by Pierre-François Hugues (known as the Baron d’Hancarville) and the Auserlesene griechische Vasenbilder by Eduard Gerhard. In both, illustrations of vases comprise colour plates, mostly in a quadrangular format, and separate line drawings of the vases’ shapes. In both, images on vases are presented as drawings, separable from their original surfaces, while the vessels themselves have become secondary. The discussion argues that these modes of reproduction and choices of format are not the product of technological limitations and that they facilitated the conceptual flattening of the Greek painted vase epitomized in the separate treatment in scholarship of its two primary elements of form and imagery.

Abstract:
The investigation of dynamical phenomena in gases, liquids, and solids has attracted the interest of physicists, chemists, and engineers from the very beginning of the modern science. The early work on transport phenomena focussed on the description of ideal flow behavior as a natural extension to the dynamical behavior of a collection of discrete particles, which dominated so much of the classical mechanics of the last century. As far back as 1809, the mathematical techniques which later came to be known as Hamiltonian mechanics began to emerge, as well as an appreciation of the inherent symmetry and structure of the mathematical forms embodied by the Poisson bracket. It was in this year that S. D. Poisson introduced this celebrated bracket [Poisson, 1809, p. 281], and in succeeding years that such famous scholars as Hamilton, Jacobi, and Poincaré laid the foundation for classical mechanics upon the earlier bedrock of Euler, Lagrange, and d'Alembert. This surge of interest in Hamiltonian mechanics continues well into the waning years of the twentieth century, where scholars are just beginning to realize the wealth of information to be gained through the use of such powerful analytic tools as the Hamiltonian/Poisson formalism and the development of symplectic methods on differential manifolds. Specifically, the study of the dynamics of ideal continua, which is analogous to the discrete particle dynamics studied by Hamilton, Jacobi, and Poisson, has recently benefited significantly by the adaptation of the equations of motion into Hamiltonian form. The inherent structure and symmetry of this form of the equations is particularly well suited for many mathematical analyses which are extremely difficult when conducted in terms of the standard forms of the dynamical equations, for instance, stability and perturbation analyses of ideal fluid flows. Thus, classical mechanics and its outgrowth, continuum mechanics, seem to be on the verge of some major developments. Yet, further progress in this area was hindered by the fact that the traditional form of the Hamiltonian structure can only describe conservative systems, thus placing a severe constraint on the applicability of these mathematically elegant and computationally powerful techniques to real systems.

Abstract:
To assess rail car operational performance and to identify poorly performing rail cars early, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) has acquired and installed a Wayside Wheel/Rail Load Detector (WRLD) and measuring system at one of its yards. The WRLD determines truck performance by measuring lateral loads, vertical loads, and angles of attack (and corresponding derived values such as lateral to vertical (L/V) ratios, speed, average car weight, and total train weight) as vehicles and trains pass the detector. The Association of American Railroads (AAR) introduced this technology in one of its research projects in the 1990s. However, this is the first successful attempt to implement WRLD technology for a transit application. A team of WMATA, Booz Allen Hamilton, and TTCI engineers is working to adapt this technology to be effective in the transit environment. Prior to installing the WRLD, the team performed a VAMPIRE® simulation to predict the range of key parameters that was anticipated at the measurement site and on a representative mainline curve. Real-time data collection and information processing allowed immediate access to the curving performance of individual rail cars. The data was used to assess vehicle dynamic behavior during acceptance testing. Data was stored in a database at the WRLD site, and could be accessed via an Internet link. This data was evaluated for generating performance alarms of poorly performing rail cars — an important project milestone, since gaining maintenance personnel’s confidence in the WRLD’s abilities was one of the major objectives. As an early warning device, the WRLD is a very effective tool to identify and select potential “troublemakers” for inspection and preventive maintenance. In addition, the system is also useful for evaluating selected vehicle series and overall fleet performance, by using median and mean single-wheel L/V ratios.

Abstract:
Metrolinx, Toronto’s rail authority currently has 200 engineering projects underway with a value of $16 billion. One of the largest projects is a $4 billion Electrification Project for the Toronto commuter rail lines. In support of the engineering design of the project, in November of 2015 Tulloch Engineering was contracted to provide a complete engineering survey of six Metrolinx railway commuter corridors originating from Union Station in Toronto, Canada. Tulloch used a unique combination of mobile LiDAR, static LiDAR, and conventional infill ground survey to complete the project. LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a surveying method that measures distance to a target by illuminating that target with a laser light. Using LiDAR technology provided significant advantages to the Electrification Project over using convention ground survey techniques. Metrolinx is a Canadian crown corporation responsible for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area’s GO Transit rail and bus commuter system. GO Transit trains currently carry 190,000 commuters per day. Electrification of Metrolinx GO Transit rail commuter rail corridors requires the upgrading of infrastructure and providing a means of getting the electricity to the trains which includes new electrical substations, overhead power lines and new equipment. The electrification is part of the GO Regional Express Rail program, which will expand the capacity of the GO rail network to provide customers with faster, more frequent and more convenient service to and from dozens of stations in core sections of the GO rail network throughout the day, evenings and weekends. Electrification is planned for most of Metrolinx commuter rail corridors by 2022–2024. The engineering technical and program management consultant for the Electrification Project is Gannett Fleming. An initial requirement for Metrolinx Electrification project is an up to date engineering survey to enable the preliminary engineering design. Our survey project involves surveying approximately 170 miles of railway corridor for 6 GO Transit tracks originating from Union Station in downtown Toronto. Our mobile LiDAR survey system was mounted on a GO Transit hi-rail truck; with most of the surveying occurring at night due to the heavy train traffic and since LiDAR is an active sensor. Tulloch provided a unique hybrid surveying approach, using mobile LiDAR surveying to collect all the visible features in the corridor, followed by conventional ground surveys to fill in missing features obscured from the LiDAR system’s field of view and static LiDAR surveys for some of the bridges inaccessible with mobile LiDAR. This is the first time Metrolinx has contracted an engineering survey using these multiple survey technologies. This survey approach reduces delivery timelines, limits track disruptions, and greatly improves safety. A major advantage of mobile LiDAR surveying for the GO-Transit rail corridors is that collection can occur at night when train activity is low and in a fraction of the time it takes to survey using conventional ground crews. This enabled project schedules to be advanced, as base mapping was completed in about 60% of the normal time required for the engineering survey. Using mobile scanning on the tracks reduced safety risks associated with on track field surveys. In addition, the resultant LiDAR point cloud can be revisited in the office, and additional features and critical information picked up without having to send field crews back to do so. The homogeneous nature of the point cloud, combined with the conventional in-fill survey provides a rich, full feature data set that can be used at various stages in the engineering design process.

Abstract:
Technoking has recently launched cutting-edge neural-interface technology (Hamilton 2022). This kind of technology has the potential to enhance human performance and safety across a variety of fields. To explore its possibilities, this study has set up measurement situations by pre-registering EEG measurements and established future applications based on neuroergonomic laboratory-based training. Positive system intelligence has been found to enhance performance and reduce stress, and neurofeedback-based adjustment has been shown to increase performance for both athletes and manpower training. To test the effectiveness of this technology, the researchers employed a system integrator's approach from collecting real-time streaming data based on vignettes to measuring cognitive load alleviation via dockers, testing package-based cloud computing interfaces through web technologies. The results of this study demonstrate that system intelligence measures can be used to ignite practical innovation processes and select high-performing manpower, ultimately leading to gains in innovativeness. The study provides a pre-registration analyzing example adaptable case model that can be applied to diverse host platforms and databases in Unix machines. Specifically, it explores the use of system intelligence measures in the context of human resources employment criteria using post-modernity competency assessment for innovative recruitment practices. The study also investigates the main cost of the study and the safety of the equivalence based on the requirements of the environment.

Abstract:
Key Message Ontario long-term care (LTC) home residents have experienced disproportionately high morbidity and mortality, both from COVID-19 and from the conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. There are several measures that could be effective in preventing COVID-19 outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes, if implemented. First, temporary staffing could be minimized by improving staff working conditions. Second, homes could be further decrowded by a continued disallowance of three- and four-resident rooms and additional temporary housing for the most crowded homes. Third, the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in staff could be minimized by approaches that reduce the risk of transmission in communities with a high burden of COVID-19. Summary Background The Province of Ontario has 626 licensed LTC homes and 77,257 long-stay beds; 58% of homes are privately owned, 24% are non-profit/charitable, 16% are municipal. LTC homes were strongly affected during Ontario’s first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Questions What do we know about the first and second waves of COVID-19 in Ontario LTC homes? Which risk factors are associated with COVID-19 outbreaks in Ontario LTC homes and the extent and death rates associated with outbreaks? What has been the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the general health and wellbeing of LTC residents? How has the existing Ontario evidence on COVID-19 in LTC settings been used to support public health interventions and policy changes in these settings? What are the further measures that could be effective in preventing COVID-19 outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes? Findings As of January 14, 2021, a total of 3,211 Ontario LTC home residents have died of COVID-19, totaling 60.7% of all 5,289 COVID-19 deaths in Ontario to date. There have now been more cumulative LTC home outbreaks during the second wave as compared with the first wave. The infection and death rates among LTC residents have been lower during the second wave, as compared with the first wave, and a greater number of LTC outbreaks have involved only staff infections. The growth rate of SARS-CoV-2 infections among LTC residents was slower during the first two months of the second wave in September and October 2020, as compared with the first wave. However, the growth rate after the two-month mark is comparatively faster during the second wave. The majority of second wave infections and deaths in LTC homes have occurred between December 1, 2020, and January 14, 2021 (most recent date of data extraction prior to publication). This highlights the recent intensification of the COVID-19 pandemic in LTC homes that has mirrored the recent increase in community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 across Ontario. Evidence from Ontario demonstrates that the risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks and subsequent deaths in LTC are distinct from the risk factors for outbreaks and deaths in the community (Figure 1). The most important risk factors for whether a LTC home will experience an outbreak is the daily incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infections in the communities surrounding the home and the occurrence of staff infections. The most important risk factors for the magnitude of an outbreak and the number of resulting resident deaths are older design, chain ownership, and crowding. Figure 1. Anatomy of Outbreaks and Spread of COVID-19 in LTC Homes and Among Residents Figure from Peter Hamilton, personal communication. Many Ontario LTC home residents have experienced severe and potentially irreversible physical, cognitive, psychological, and functional declines as a result of precautionary public health interventions imposed on homes, such as limiting access to general visitors and essential caregivers, resident absences, and group activities. There has also been an increase in the prescribing of psychoactive drugs to Ontario LTC residents. The accumulating evidence on COVID-19 in Ontario’s LTC homes has been leveraged in several ways to support public health interventions and policy during the pandemic. Ontario evidence showed that SARS-CoV-2 infections among LTC staff was associated with subsequent COVID-19 deaths among LTC residents, which motivated a public order to restrict LTC staff from working in more than one LTC home in the first wave. Emerging Ontario evidence on risk factors for LTC home outbreaks and deaths has been incorporated into provincial pandemic surveillance tools. Public health directives now attempt to limit crowding in LTC homes by restricting occupancy to two residents per room. The LTC visitor policy was also revised to designate a maximum of two essential caregivers who can visit residents without time limits, including when a home is experiencing an outbreak. Several further measures could be effective in preventing COVID-19 outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes. First, temporary staffing could be minimized by improving staff working conditions. Second, the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in staff could be minimized by measures that reduce the risk of transmission in communities with a high burden of COVID-19. Third, LTC homes could be further decrowded by a continued disallowance of three- and four-resident rooms and additional temporary housing for the most crowded homes. Other important issues include improved prevention and detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in LTC staff, enhanced infection prevention and control (IPAC) capacity within the LTC homes, a more balanced and nuanced approach to public health measures and IPAC strategies in LTC homes, strategies to promote vaccine acceptance amongst residents and staff, and further improving data collection on LTC homes, residents, staff, visitors and essential caregivers for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interpretation Comparisons of the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in the LTC setting reveal improvement in some but not all epidemiological indicators. Despite this, the second wave is now intensifying within LTC homes and without action we will likely experience a substantial additional loss of life before the widespread administration and time-dependent maximal effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. The predictors of outbreaks, the spread of infection, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes are well documented and have remained unchanged between the first and the second wave. Some of the evidence on COVID-19 in Ontario’s LTC homes has been effectively leveraged to support public health interventions and policies. Several further measures, if implemented, have the potential to prevent additional LTC home COVID-19 outbreaks and deaths.
