Innovation and Derivation in Canadian Food Television Programming
Authors: Botterill Jacqueline
Published: October 2018

The 1980s neo-liberal political agenda, which deemed media market liberalization necessary to stimulate programming innovation and expand audience choice, reshaped Canadian television programming, prompting a new round of debate over the quality, distinctiveness, and value of domestic TV shows. Yet producers’ transformation of the daytime cooking show into a popular, lucrative food lifestyle media segment received little critical attention. Thus, part 1 of this article draws on foreign and domestic food show examples, popular with Canadian audiences, to highlight three program innovations that underwrote Canadian food audience expansion over the last 25 years: an intensified focus on eating, entertaining, and aesthetics; production of celebrity chefs and commercial synergies; and reliance on global reality TV formats. Part 2 analyses two seasons of Dinner Party Wars, an exemplar Canadian food show. Reliance on the global trends outlined above renders DPW largely indistinguishable from foreign TV food fare. So too did DPW put in circulation common middle-class, neo-liberal fantasies—turning home entertaining into a public spectacle of competition; finding fault in weak performances of entrepreneurial spirit; taking participants’ inability to achieve restaurant standards of productivity as signs of laziness; and failure to conform to middle-class manners and tastes shocking. Yet within participants’ menu choices and interactions with experts a distinct narrative of Canadian multiculturalism is found.
“An Artist’s View of Tattooing”: Aba Bayefsky and the Tattoo Scenes of Toronto and Yokohama, 1978–86
Authors: Jelinski Jamie
Published: October 2018

This article investigates a series of tattoo-inspired artwork produced by Toronto-based artist Aba Bayefsky during the late 1970s and early 1980s. To do so, I draw heavily from archival documents that belong to the Aba Bayefsky fonds at Library and Archives Canada and newspaper articles published in the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail. I reconstruct this period in the form of a historical narrative and use what I call a “tattoo scene” as a frame for my analysis. In doing so, I argue that by creating work that depicted members of the tattoo scene, Bayefsky merged disparate social and cultural groups and their respective visual cultures locally in Toronto and later transnationally between Toronto and Japan.
Staying Afloat in the Typing Pool: P.K. Page, Poetry, and the Modern Office
Authors: Stacey Robert David
Published: October 2018

In the first few years of the 1940s, poet P.K. Page was employed as a filing clerk for Allied War Supplies, a Montreal-based war firm tasked with producing and distributing materials needed for Canada’s war effort. During this time, Page joined the editorial committee of Preview, a socialist poetry magazine to which she contributed a number of poems about office work, workers, and managerial culture. This essay reads that remarkable set of poems through a double lens: it first explores their documentary and diagnostic value as an insider’s view of the office during what Graham S. Lowe calls the “administrative revolution”; it then shows how the socialist “work” of these poems is constrained by an aesthetic philosophy that defines the poet and poetry in opposition to labourers and labour—a stance that introduces a number of contradictions that account for the poems’ strangely ambivalent and patronizing tone.
The Intellectual Construction of Canada’s “Peaceable Kingdom” Ideal
Authors: See Scott W.
Published: October 2018

The linkages between myth, public memory, and the construction of nationalism are profound. Since the nineteenth century, historians, intellectuals, and politicians have reflected, critiqued, and shaped the enduring notion that Canadians have constructed a “peaceable kingdom” in North America. Although the subject matter and thrust of their efforts varied dramatically, the ease in which the peaceable kingdom became embraced suggests that by the early twentieth-first century the ideal is firmly entrenched as part of Canada’s cultural and scholarly orientation. Its persistence can be explained to a great degree because it has proven to be remarkably elastic; its appeal reaches across ideological and cultural divides. This article explores two intriguing paradoxes related to these developments. First, the peaceable kingdom ideal often chafes against the country’s narrative because from the earliest moments of European contact with Indigenous peoples through to the recent past with the country’s participation in the Afghanistan war, Canadians have engaged in violent episodes and armed conflict. Second, even historians and other scholars who argue against the substance of the peaceable kingdom idea are prone to using the myth as a popular reference to draw attention to their work or frame their research.
Courting the First Nations Vote: Ontario’s Grand River Reserve and theElectoral Franchise Actof 1885
Authors: Little J.I.
Published: October 2018

This article begins with an examination of the controversy caused in 1885 by the Macdonald government’s expansion of the dominion franchise to First Nations reserves in eastern Canada, a controversy that revolved around the liberal tenet that the right to vote should be intrinsically linked to independent property ownership. It then discusses the role of the Grand River Six Nations and Mississaugas in the elections and by-elections that took place in the Ontario ridings of Brant South and Haldimand between 1886 and 1897, the year before the Laurier government abolished Macdonald’s Electoral Franchise Act, with the result that treaty status Indians would not regain the vote in national elections until 1960. The picture that emerges is of an Indigenous community torn between conflicting forces, with traditionalists opposing participation in Canada’s elections, reformers supporting the franchise as well as the Conservative Party, and a third group who argued that the Liberal Party was more sensitive than the Tories to First Nations demands for increased responsibility and autonomy.

Türkiye-Irak Kürt Bölgesel Yönetimi (IKBY) İlişkilerinde Güvenliksizleştirmeler: 2008-2016 Arası Dönem
Authors: BARAN Muhsin , YILMAZ Muzaffer Ercan
Published: October 2018

Türkiye, inşa ettiği kimlik ve ulus devlet anlayışına potansiyel tehdit ürettiği gerekçesiyle Irak Kürt bölgesiyle olan ilişkilerinde cumhuriyetin kuruluşundan itibaren güvenlik odaklı bir ilişki biçimi benimsemiştir. 1980’lerde PKK’nın Irak’ın kuzeyine yerleşerek Türkiye’ye saldırılar gerçekleştirmesi ve daha sonraki süreçlerde Ortadoğu bölgesindeki savaş ya da iç savaşlar nedeniyle meydana gelen ciddi değişimlerin Irak’ın kuzeyine yansımaları sonucu ortaya çıkan yapıların Türkiye’ye varoluşsal bir tehdit unsuru olarak değerlendirilmesi, ilişkilerin tarihsel olarak güvenlikleştirilmesinin en önemli nedenleri olmuştur. Bununla birlikte, uzun yıllardır süregelen güvenlik odaklı ilişki biçimine 2000’li yılların ikinci yarısından itibaren son verilmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Türkiye Irak Kürt Bölgesel Yönetimi ilişkilerinde, 2008-2016 arası dönemde, ciddi değişimler görülmüştür. İlişkilerde meydana gelen bu paradigma değişikliği ile birlikte daha önce “güvenlik” konusu olarak değerlendirilen birçok konu ya da sorun siyaset alanına taşınarak güvenliksizleştirilmiştir. Yüksek düzeyli temaslar, enerji alanındaki işbirliği, IŞİD’e karşı mücadele ve eğitim alanındaki işbirliği söz konusu dönemdeki güvenliksizleştirmelerin ana temasını oluşturan başlıca unsurlar olmuştur.

Published: October 2018

Topicality. The lack of a unified approach to the implementation of state policy in Ukraine, which regulates the activities of multimodal and intermodal transport, as well as the relevant legislative framework, emphasizes the relevance of this article.Aim and tasks. The purpose and objectives of the state transport policy should take into account the general objective of European transport policy, which is to create conditions for the development of a high-quality transport system based on the integrated use of technical, economic and technological characteristics of certain types of transport, competition principles, taking into account economic and social impacts, as well the impact on the environment and health. Proceeding from the fact that transport policy should consist in creation of conditions for development of high-quality transport system, economic and technological characteristics of certain types of transport, principles of competition, taking into account economic and social influence, this is the main goal of the article.Research results. The article determines which priorities should be based on the state transport policy and directions of its direction. Author's interpretation of the concepts of intermodal and multimodal transport, as well as their key differences, is provided. It has been established that in the majority of cases, the cargo owner interacts with carriers through his forwarding agent (agent) both in multimodal and intermodal traffic, and the impression is made that there is no difference between these types of traffic. Meanwhile, the relationship of the cargo owner and freight forwarder significantly differ with the relationship of the cargo owner and carrier. Public relations on transport activity in Ukraine are established by special regulations, but this is too small for effective implementation and development of multimodal and intermodal transportation in Ukraine. At the same time, general approaches to improving the legislative framework for the establishment and development of Ukraine as a sea and transit state, as well as to meet the needs of the national economy and the population in transportation, are not defined.Conclusions. Thus, it is necessary to divide the transport policy of the state into a common transport policy, which deals with general approaches to the development of the national transport system and relates to the public relations of the state and transport enterprises and organizations and the private transport policy, which relates to the relations of business entities in the process of direct transportation. The latter is the means of regulating the development and operation of multimodal and intermodal transport, and not only in Ukraine.

SELECTING THE OPTIMUM SCHEME OF THE SEPARATION OF HYDROCARBON GASES BY DISTILLATION
Authors: Zakharov M. K. , Boychuk A. A.
Published: October 2018

The heat costs in distillation columns were determined for the purpose of separating a four-component gas mixture in gas fractionators with various component selection sequences. A method for selecting the optimal scheme was developed. It is based on the concept of “internal energy saving” upon rectification. Internal energy saving means multiple steam operation on the plates of a distillation column, namely, its condensation on each plate with the release of the heat of condensation, which is used for the evaporation of the liquid entering the plate to obtain a new steam composition. It was shown that when binary and three-component mixtures are separated and products of equal purity are obtained, the heat costs are related to the internal energy saving. The calculation of the internal energy saving in a three-column system for the separation of a four-component mixture was carried out. The calculation confirms that, as the internal energy saving increases and, accordingly, the average internal energy saving in the system of columns increases, the total heat consumption is reduced. The results of calculating three separation schemes of the four-component mixture were compared using the program Aspen Plus with different methods for describing the phase equilibrium (NRTL, Peng-Robinson, Chao-Seader) was carried out. It was shown that the calculations with the use of Peng-Robinson and Chao-Seader methods match.
BEHAVIOR OF RARE-EARTH METALS IN HYDROMETALLURGICAL PROCESSING OF PYROCHLOR-MONAZITE-GOETHITE ORES

Published: October 2018

The article is dedicated to finding out the specific features of the behavior of rare-earth metals in hydrometallurgical processing of pyrochlore-monazite-goetite ores of the Chuktukonsky ore field is shown in the work. Chuktukonsky ore field is a potential source of rare earth metals. The mentioned ores are practically unenforceable. Hydrometallurgical methods for their complex processing were suggested. Agitational and autoclave nitric acid leaching depending on such technological parameters as temperature, HNO3 concentration, process duration, S:L ratio and the use of H2O2 were studied. The possibility of transferring manganese (that is present in a significant amount in the ore) into a nitric acid solution by hydrogen peroxide was considered. Based on the results of the conducted studies, the distribution of REM in the products of the hydrometallurgical conversion of pyrochlore-monazitegoetite ore was estimated. It was found out that incomplete opening of the ore material was observed during agitational leaching: average REM recovery into the solution is 60%. The study made it possible to solve the problem of purifying nitric acid solutions from phosphorus that hinders the subsequent extraction and separation of rare earth metal ions forming strong complexes with rare earths. Removal of phosphorus from the solution was achieved by conducting the process under pressure at elevated temperatures (200-230 0C). It was found that the optimal decomposition conditions ensuring the transfer of almost 99% of the REM into the nitric acid solution are: 25% solution of HNO3, ore size - 0.071 mm; 5% by volume H2O2; t(160 0С) = 1 h; t(230 0С) = 1 h, gradual temperature increase from 160 to 230 0С; S:L = 1:8. Autoclave nitric-acid leaching allows selecting rare earth metals from the main part of iron, phosphorus and niobium.
On the performance of cooperative cognitive networks with selection combining and proactive relay selection
Authors: Ho Khuong Van , Vo Son Que , Luu Tra Thanh , Pham Lien Hong
Published: October 2018

This paper proposes an outage analysis framework for cooperative cognitive networks with proactive relay selection and selection combining (SC) under licensed outage constraint, maximum transmit power constraint, independent non-identical (i.n.i) fading distributions, erroneous channel information, and licensed users’ interference. Towards this end, we firstly suggest power allocation for unlicensed transmitters to satisfy power constraints and account for erroneous channel information and licensed users’ interference. Then, we propose an exact closed-form outage probability formula for the unlicensed network to promptly evaluate system performance and provide useful insights into performance limits. Multiple results show performance trade-off between the unlicensed network and the licensed network, error floor in the unlicensed network, considerable system performance degradation owing to erroneous channel information and licensed users’ interference, and significant performance enhancement due to the increase in the number of relays.

Human Bocavirus Infection of Permanent Cells Differentiated to Air-Liquid Interface Cultures Activates Transcription of Pathways Involved in Tumorigenesis
Authors: Schildgen Verena , Pieper Monika , Khalfaoui Soumaya , Arnold Wolfgang H. , Schildgen Oliver
Published: October 2018

The parvoviral human bocavirus (HBoV) is a respiratory pathogen, able to persist in infected cells. The viral DNA has been identified in colorectal and lung tumors and thus it was postulated that the virus could be associated with tumorigenesis. This assumption was supported by the fact that in HBoV-infected patients and in an in vitro cell culture system, pro-cancerogenic and -fibrotic cytokines were expressed. In this work, it is shown by a whole transcriptome analysis that, also at the mRNA level, several pathways leading to neoplasia and tumorigenesis are significantly upregulated. In total, a set of 54 transcripts are specifically regulated by HBoV, of which the majority affects canonical pathways that may lead to tumor development if they become deregulated. Moreover, pathways leading to necrosis, apoptosis and cell death are downregulated, supporting the hypothesis that HBoV might contribute to the development of some kinds of cancer.

To validate our model, we challenged the tumor cells in vivo by injecting the alkylating histone-deacetylase inhibitor, EDO-S101, a salvage regimen for HL patients, into xenografted mice. Methodology: Blood lymphocytes from 50 HL patients and seven HL cell lines were used. Immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and cytogenetics analyses were performed. The in vitro and in vivo effects of EDO-S101 were assessed. Results: We have successfully determined conditions for in vitro amplification and characterization of the HL L428-c subline, containing a higher proportion of CD30−/CD15− cells than the parental L428 cell line. This subline displayed excellent clonogenic potential and reliable reproducibility upon xenografting into immunodeficient NOD-SCID-gamma (−/−)(NSG) mice. Using cell sorting, we demonstrate that CD30−/CD15− subpopulations can gain the phenotype of the L428-c cell line in vitro. Moreover, the human cells recovered from the seventh week after injection of L428-c cells into NSG mice were small cells characterized by a high frequency of CD30−/CD15− cells. Cytogenetic analysis demonstrated that they were diploid and showed high telomere instability and telomerase activity. Accordingly, chromosomal instability emerged, as shown by the formation of dicentric chromosomes, ring chromosomes, and breakage/fusion/bridge cycles. Similarly, high telomerase activity and telomere instability were detected in circulating lymphocytes from HL patients. The beneficial effect of the histone-deacetylase inhibitor EDO-S101 as an anti-tumor drug validated our animal model. Conclusion: Our HL animal model requires only 103 cells and is characterized by a high survival/toxicity ratio and high reproducibility. Moreover, the cells that engraft in mice are characterized by a high frequency of small CD30−/CD15− cells exhibiting high telomerase activity and telomere dysfunction.
Novel Therapies for Relapsed and Refractory Neuroblastoma
Authors: Zage Peter E.
Published: October 2018

While recent increases in our understanding of the biology of neuroblastoma have allowed for more precise risk stratification and improved outcomes for many patients, children with high-risk neuroblastoma continue to suffer from frequent disease relapse, and despite recent advances in our understanding of neuroblastoma pathogenesis, the outcomes for children with relapsed neuroblastoma remain poor. These children with relapsed neuroblastoma, therefore, continue to need novel treatment strategies based on a better understanding of neuroblastoma biology to improve outcomes. The discovery of new tumor targets and the development of novel antibody- and cell-mediated immunotherapy agents have led to a large number of clinical trials for children with relapsed neuroblastoma, and additional clinical trials using molecular and genetic tumor profiling to target tumor-specific aberrations are ongoing. Combinations of these new therapeutic modalities with current treatment regimens will likely be needed to improve the outcomes of children with relapsed and refractory neuroblastoma.

The dispersity of graphene (GE) in the matrix has an important influence on the thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of its derived composites. In this paper, surface modification with a silane coupling agent and a double injection method were used to improve the dispersity of GE in epoxy resin (EP). The thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of modified graphene/epoxy resin composites (modified GE/EP) were investigated by the thermogravimetric analysis, a four-probe method, and the tensile and bending strength. The results reveal that these properties of the composites can be improved significantly by using the modified GE as the filler. The surface of the modified GE/EP composite was smooth when the curing temperature was 75 °C. The weight loss of the modified GE/EP composite was lower than that of pure EP. The tensile and bending strength of modified GE/EP-0.07 (0.07 wt % modified GE) reached 74.65 and 106.21 MPa, respectively. In addition, the resistivity of modified GE/EP-0.1 (0.1 wt % modified GE) decreased to 52 Ω·cm, which was lower than that of CB/EP-1 (1 wt % carbon black, 95 Ω·cm) and Ag/EP-50 (50 wt % Ag particles, 102 Ω·cm). It is worth noting that the percolation threshold of the modified GE/EP composites was 0.025 vol % modified GE. These results show that the modified GE/EP composites have a potential application in conductive ink when the modified GE is used as the conductive filler.
A Novel Framework for Portfolio Selection Model Using Modified ANFIS and Fuzzy Sets
Authors: Kumar Chanchal , Doja Mohammad Najmud
Published: October 2018

This paper proposes a novel framework for solving the portfolio selection problem. This framework is excogitated using two newly parameters obtained from an existing basic mean variance model. The scheme can prove entirely advantageous for decision-making while using computed values of these significant parameters. The framework combines effectiveness of the mean-variance model and another significant parameter called Conditional-Value-at-Risk (CVaR). It focuses on extracting two newly parameters viz. αnew and βnew, which are demarcated from results obtained from mean-variance model and the value of CVaR. The method intends to minimize the overall cost, which is computed in the framework using quadratic equations involving these newly parameters. The new structure of ANFIS is designed by changing existing structure of ANFIS and this new structure contains six layers instead of existing five-layered structure. Fuzzy sets are harnessed for the design of the second layer of this new ANFIS structure. The output parameter acquired from the sixth layer of the new ANFIS structure serves as an important index for an investor in the decision-making. The numerical results acquired from the framework and the new six-layered structure is presented and these results are assimilated and compared with the results of the existing ANFIS structure.

In this work, the CoCrFeNiNbx (x: molar ratio, x = 0.45, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0) high entropy alloy coatings were synthesized on a 304 stainless steel substrate by laser cladding to investigate the effect of Nb element on their microstructure, hardness, and wear resistance. The results indicated that in all of the CoCrFeNiNbx alloy coatings, two phases were found: One was a face-centered cubic (FCC) solid solution phase, the other was a Co1.92Nb1.08-type Laves phase. The microstructures of samples varied from hypoeutectic structure (x = 0.45 and 0.5) to hypereutectic structure (x = 0.75 and 1.0). The Vickers hardness of CoCrFeNiNbx alloy coatings was obviously improved compared with the substrate. The hardness value of the CoCrFeNiNb1.0 alloy coating reached to 590 HV, which was 2.8 times higher than that of the substrate. There was also a corresponding variation in wear properties with hardness evolutions. Wherein the hypereutectic CoCrFeNiNb1.0 alloy coating with the highest hardness exhibited the best wear resistance under the same wear condition, the dry wear test showed the wear mass loss of CoCrFeNiNb1.0 alloy coating was less than a third of the substrate. The high hardness and wear resistance properties were considered with the fine lamellar eutectic structure and proper combination of FCC and Laves phases.

Gas membrane-based separation is considered one of the most effective technologies to address energy efficiency and large footprint challenges. Various classes of advanced materials, including polymers, zeolites, porous carbons, and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been investigated as potential suitable candidates for gas membrane-based separations. MOFs possess a uniquely tunable nature in which the pore size and environment can be controlled by connecting metal ions (or metal ion clusters) with organic linkers of various functionalities. This unique characteristic makes them attractive for the fabrication of thin membranes, as both the diffusion and solubility components of permeability can be altered. Numerous studies have been published on the synthesis and applications of MOFs, as well as the fabrication of MOF-based thin films. However, few studies have addressed their gas separation properties for potential applications in membrane-based separation technologies. Here, we present a synopsis of the different types of MOF-based membranes that have been fabricated over the past decade. In this review, we start with a short introduction touching on the gas separation membrane technology. We also shed light on the various techniques developed for the fabrication of MOF as membranes, and the key challenges that still need to be tackled before MOF-based membranes can successfully be used in gas separation and implemented in an industrial setting.

CoCrFeCuNi high-entropy alloys (HEAs) prepared by arc melting were irradiated with a 100 keV He+ ion beam. Volume swelling and hardening induced by irradiation were evaluated. When the dose reached 5.0 × 1017 ions/cm2, the Cu-rich phases exhibited more severe volume swelling compared with the matrix phases. This result indicated that the Cu-rich phases were favorable sites for the nucleation and gathering of He bubbles. X-ray diffraction indicated that all diffraction peak intensities decreased regularly. This reduction suggested loosening of the irradiated layer, thereby reducing crystallinity, under He+ ion irradiation. The Nix-Gao model was used to fit the measured hardness in order to obtain a hardness value H0 that excludes the indentation size effect. At ion doses of 2.5 × 1017 ions/cm2 and 5.0 × 1017 ions/cm2, the HEAs showed obvious hardening, which could be attributed to the formation of large amounts of irradiation defects. At the ion dose of 1.0 × 1018 ions/cm2, hardening was reduced, owing to the exfoliation of the original irradiation layer, combined with recovery induced by long-term thermal spike. This study is important to explore the potential uses of HEAs under extreme irradiation conditions.
