Abstract:

A study of the use of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for the detection of illicit drugs in oral fluid using metal enhancement mechanisms was undertaken. Initial work investigated ecstasy tablet composition using Raman to identify what drugs and excipients might be present in oral fluid samples obtained from users. Overall, it is possible to identify the presence of phenethylamines and excipients in the seized tablets but not categorically distinguish between the phenethylamine derivative(s) especially when in a mixture. Comparison of the overall batch average peak positions and pea

Abstract:

Over the years, colorimetric reagents and immunology have been widely used in screening tests for illicit drugs; however, the test kits are not always convenient for field use and often require the user to mix and develop a specific set of reagents. In our project, we have been working on alternative platforms based on paper microfluidic devices (uPADs) for field testing. These devices utilize wax channels printed on paper to direct the analyte towards a specific set of chemical reagents. Using the procedure, we have developed a six-channel chip that adapts known colorimetric reagents targetin

Abstract:

Sewage epidemiology is increasingly becoming an alternative method of estimating drug usage and consumption patterns for a given population. With the constant emergence of new psychoactive substances such as cathinones and piperazines, versatile, reliable, specific and sensitive analytical methods are needed for their detection in complex matrices such as waste water.

Abstract:

Wearable sensors can be used to monitor opioid use and other key behaviors of interest, and to prompt interventions that promote behavioral change. The effectiveness of such systems is threatened by the potential of a subject's deliberate non-compliance (DNC) to the monitoring. We define deliberate non-compliance as the process of giving one's device to someone else when surveillance is on-going. The principal aim of this thesis is to develop an approach to leverage movement and cardiac features from a wearable sensor to detect such deliberate non-compliance by individuals under surveillance f

With the high industrial acceptance of lithium-ion batteries as an electric vehicle (EV) energy source, it is necessary to examine these batteries for critical safety issues. The contribution of this research is to investigate the state of charge (SOC) dependent thermal runaway detection of 18650 lithium-ion batteries due to mechanical abuse conditions. To achieve accurate results, an experimental setup was designed to capture temperature variations and deformation of the battery due to loading conditions, where four test protocols were used which were rod, circular punch, three-point bend and

Child abuse and neglect occur in epidemic numbers in the United States and around the world, resulting in major physical and mental health consequences for abused children in the present and future. A vast amount of information is available on the signs and symptoms and short- and long-term consequences of abuse. A limited number of instruments have been empirically developed to screen for child abuse, with most focused on physical abuse in the context of the emergency department, which have been found to be minimally effective and lacking rigor.

Violence affects many children and youth, causing devastating effects. Schools are in an ideal position to prevent, detect and report potential victimization cases. Yet, studies have found several limitations to perform these tasks, like misconceptions or lack of knowledge and resources. Besides, the empirical evidence of the effect of each of these variables in the detection and reporting experience is limited.

Abstract:

The role of the Coroner in child protection is examined from the creation of the office in Medieval England to the current B.C. Coroners Service. Legislation and policy of the Coroner and Ministry of Social Services are examined with regards to investigating deaths of children. An exploratory, descriptive review was conducted of the B.C. Coroner's files for 1986 to 1989 to identify abuse and neglect deaths. Thirtyfive child abuse and neglect deaths were identified. Ministry of Social Services files were searched to determine if there were prior child welfare investigations. Results indi

Abstract:

博士<br>國立中山大學<br>資訊管理學系研究所<br>91<br>With the intensive need for health insurances, health care service providers’ fraud and abuse have become a serious problem. The practices, such as billing services that were never rendered, performing medically unnecessary services, and misrepresenting non-covered treatments as medically necessary covered treatments, etc, not only contribute to the problem of rising health care expenditure but also affect the health of patients. We are therefore motivated to investigate the detection of service providers’ fraudulent and abusive behavior. In this research, w

Abstract:

Sewage epidemiology is increasingly becoming an alternative method of estimating drug usage and consumption patterns for a given population. With the constant emergence of new psychoactive substances such as cathinones and piperazines, versatile, reliable, specific and sensitive analytical methods are needed for their detection in complex matrices such as waste water. This thesis reports the development of an analytical method based on solid phase extraction, derivatization with pentafluoropropionic anhydride and analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the simultaneous analysis of

Abstract:

In-utero ethanol exposure may result in fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Studies have suggested that women who drink ethanol are more likely to consume illicit drugs. Detection of such exposures has been done via meconium and hair testing and can serve to direct needed prevention methods and appropriate management and intervention for the neonate and the mother. This study examined maternal diabetes as a possible confounder for in-utero ethanol exposure testing and determined the trends in drug use associated with heavy in-utero ethanol exposure in a high-risk obstetric Canadian popu
