description: Background: We investigate the empirical complexity of the RNA secondary structure design problem, that is, the scaling of the typical difficulty of the design task for various classes of RNA structures as the size of the target structure is increased. The purpose of this work is to understand better the factors that make RNA structures hard to design for existing, high-performance algorithms. Such understanding provides the basis for improving the performance of one of the best algorithms for this problem, RNA-SSD, and for characterising its limitations. Results: To gain insights into the practical complexity of the problem, we present a scaling analysis on random and biologically motivated structures using an improved version of the RNA-SSD algorithm, and also the RNAinverse algorithm from the Vienna package. Since primary structure constraints are relevant for designing RNA structures, we also investigate the correlation between the number and the location of the primary structure constraints when designing structures and the performance of the RNA-SSD algorithm. The scaling analysis on random and biologically motivated structures supports the hypothesis that the running time of both algorithms scales polynomially with the size of the structure. We also found that the algorithms are in general faster when constraints are placed only on paired bases in the structure. Furthermore, we prove that, according to the standard thermodynamic model, for some structures that the RNA-SSD algorithm was unable to design, there exists no sequence whose minimum free energy structure is the target structure. Conclusion: Our analysis helps to better understand the strengths and limitations of both the RNA-SSD and RNAinverse algorithms, and suggests ways in which the performance of these algorithms can be further improved.

Great Hockham - a village which has moved?
Creators: name: Davison, Alan J
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2020

description: Norfolk Archaeology, 41 (2), 145-161
description: A survey of the manor of Great Hockham, made in 1599, gives an almost complete description of the early post-medieval landscape. Fragmentary documentary evidence suggests that this pattern was already established by later medieval times. However, it is possible that the original site of the settlement was around the church to the south. This paper attempts to investigate the relationship between the post-medieval village and the settlement of 1086 using evidence from documentary sources and fieldwalking.
Function and structure of anionic phospholipid-binding proteins: I Factor Va, a coagulation cofactor II p135, a novel protein
Creators: name: Zeibdawi, Abed R
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: Coagulation cofactor factor Va (FVa) is an essential component of the prothrombinase complex, and is both produced and inactivated by proteolytic events. The cofactor is a heterodimer noncovalently associated by divalent cations with unknown contact sites. The mechanism of inactivation by the fibrinolytic effector plasmin (Pn) and the Ca2+ binding site in the FVa heavy chain (FVaH) was studied. Following Pn inactivation of aPL-bound FVa, a total of 16 fragments were observed. Of these, the 50(L1766), 48(1766), 43(Q1828), 40(Q1828) kDa fragments spanning the C-terminal C1/C2 domains, and 30(L94) kDa fragment, but not the similar 30(M110) kDa fragment, positioned within the N-terminal A1 domain remained associated with anionic phosphilipid (aPL). These data identify the molecular composition of the Pn-cleaved FVa which remains bound to membrane in the presence of Ca2+ as largely A1-C1/C2. A speculative model that describes the process of inactivation of FVa by Pn was produced. Chelation by EDTA dissociated the 30(L94) kDa fragment, which then associated with intact FVaL in the presence of Ca2+, indicating that the Leu94-Lys109 region of the A1 domain plays a critical role in the FVaL and FVaH Ca2+-dependent association. To identify the residues involved in the Ca2+-binding, conserved amino acids in a recombinant FV (AFV) were replaced with Ala. The following thrombin generating activities were observed: DeltaFV (100%), E96A (19%), D111A (30%), D102A (40%), T104A (65%), E108A (70%), D112A (75%), Y100A (84%), D79A (93%), and E119A (100%). D111A resulted in spontaneous dissociation of FVaH and FVaL. Conversely, E96A or D102A had no apparent effect on Ca2+-dependent subunit interactions, but greatly enhanced chelator-induced dissociation. In addition to the FVa project, a novel human protein (p135) with two synaptotagmin-like C2-domains (sC2) suggestive of Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding is described. After cloning, sequencing, expression and monoclonal antibody production a preliminary characterization of p135 was conducted. Strong expression of p135 mRNA was observed in some leukemia and adenocarcinoma cell lines. Northern and Western analysis on sixteen non-pathological human tissues suggested a role of p135 in the immune system. The results indicated that the recombinant protein mediate Ca2+-dependent interactions with phosphatidylserine but not with phosphatidylcholine. Thus, p135 is the first member of the important sC2-family of proteins that appears to be preferentially expressed by blood cells.

description: A thesis entitled "Computational Modelling and Design of Conjugated Molecular Electronic Materials" by Jarvist Moore Frost Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London Imperial College London, December 2010 Abstract: In this thesis we develop methods to design and model conjugated molecular elec- tronic materials. The further development of organic electronics will require new materials to reach the necessary efficiencies and lifetimes for wider application. Within the enormous combinatorial possibility of organic synthetic chemistry, the design of these materials will require a greater understanding of how myriad relevant properties (such as optical, electrcal and morphology) relate to chemical structure. Chapter 3 follows the development of methods to simulate the morphology and charge transport behaviour of fullerene based materials. We start with a simple single point representation of C60 , modelling charge transport in field effect transistors. A fully atomistic forcefield a fullerene adduct then allows us to investigate the role of anistropy. Finally methods are developed to carry out a full atomistic simulation of the components of a bulk heterojunction organic solar cell. In Chapter 4 we discuss the development of a computational method to pre- dict the acceptor strength of fullerene adducts. This parameter is directly related to the voltage produced by an organic solar cell. Motivated by the recent devel- opment of multiple side chain adducts, we develop automated methods of isomer enumeration and describe observed increases in energetic disorder as an implicit aspect of isomerism. Differential Pulse Voltammetry with an internal ferrocene standard is demonstrated as a useful technique to measure reduction strength and disorder of fullerene adducts. Chapter 5 describes the development of an atomistic force field to model the morphology of films of polyfluorene copolymers. With this we try and explain experimental data indicating orders of magnitude mobility variation upon a small change to the polyfluorene sidechain. Values of mobility are simulated, with no free parameters, that are in good agreement with the polyfluorene experimental data.

description: The promotion of homeownership is an important policy of governments around the world. One motivation for this support is the benefits to local communities from the greater neighbourhood involvement of homeowners.1 For individual buyers, an often cited benefit of homeownership is that it is a good way to accumulate wealth. Certainly it is an important element of wealth; the median Canadian household has over 50 percent of their wealth in their home.2 We are interested in just how much homeownership itself contributes to wealth. The greater homeownership’s role in building household wealth, the bigger will be the wealth gap between owners and renters. This paper examines whether by not owning a home, do renters miss a critical opportunity to build wealth: do they miss the great wealth accumulation boat? This draft: January 29, 2007

Essays on human capital and taxation
Creators: name: Collins, Kirk A
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Economics, Labor.

description: This body of work contains four essays. The first three use a novel approach to measuring the impact that taxation has on individuals' incentive to invest in human capital; specifically, a university education. The final essay uses the results from the first three to explore the capital levy problem in a new light. Using the framework for effective marginal tax rates (EMTRs) on physical capital, a conceptual framework is developed for measuring similar rates on human capital. Unlike their physical capital counterpart, effective tax rates (ETRs) on human capital are not measured at the margin, but rather are based on the next level of education attainment (e.g. high school vs. university/college). The reason, which is explained in detail, is that the lumpiness of human capital investment matters, unlike for physical capital. Results show that the progressivity of personal income taxation plays a large role in human capital ETRs, as do non-tax policy instruments (e.g. registered education savings plans, tuition and other direct costs to education, education allowances, etc.). Human capital ETRs are nonuniform, like their EMTR cousins, but are lower in magnitude. The results also support the view that the tax structure may influence the incentive for highly educated Canadians to seek employment in the United States, mitigating the brain drain phenomenon. The final essay looks at the capital levy problem. If capital investments are irreversible, governments can tax these items ex post with little (or no) deadweight loss. As a result, smart investors end up investing less in certain types of capital. In the end there is an underinvestment in capital. The problem with this view is that it only describes what happens in the case of physical capital investment. Given the importance of human capital in today's "knowledge-based" economy, it is imperative that the framework address both of these types of capital. A general equilibrium model is developed. Results support the view that it is more than wages alone that determine migration incentives; the structure of the tax system, public goods, adjustment costs, are all shown to play a role. Simulation results are also provided.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Therapeutics Letter 62 examines the use of evidence in the decision-making process in the context of treatment decisions for patients with mild hypertension. Conclusions: Using the best available evidence, the magnitude of benefit for drug treatment of mild hypertension can be estimated and presented to a patient. Shared-informed decision making can only truly be done if one can provide reasonable estimates of the potential benefits and harms of a proposed therapy. RCTs are needed to test whether using this evidence and shared-informed decision making approach changes mortality and morbidity as compared to usual care.

description: Accurately estimating the vertical flux of material reaching the seafloor from the overlying surface waters is essential for the paleoceanographic reconstruction of a wide variety of oceanic processes. Two approaches are currently being used. One consists of estimating mass accumulation rates (MAR) between dated horizons as the product of linear sedimentation rates, sediment dry bulk densities, and concentrations. One pitfall with this approach is that sediments can be redistributed on the seafloor by bottom currents, and their accumulation may not necessarily reflect the true vertical rain rate originating from the overlying water column. To address this problem, the method of 230Th normalization was developed [Bacon, 1984]. This method is based on the assumption that the rapid scavenging of 230Th produced in the water column by decay of dissolved uranium results in its flux to the seafloor always being close to its known rate of production. To the extent that this assumption is correct, scavenged 230Th can be used as a reference to estimate the settling flux of other sedimentary constituents and to correct for sediment redistribution on the seafloor [Henderson and Anderson, 2003; Francois et al., 2004].

description: Report on a survey of the Ministry of Defence's Stanford Training Area (STANTA) covering both arable land and wooded areas. The results provide insight into the archaeology of central Breckland, especially with regard to earthworks concealed by woodland. The tally of fieldwalking finds is less impressive than that from the more northerly STANTA Extension. This is probably because the present survey covered much less arable land, almost all of which was peripheral to the former settlements which lie under grass. Had it been possible to examine all of the river valley terraces upon which settlements lay, it is argued that finds more closely comparable to those from the Extension might have been made, and that results from Langford and West Tofts offer some hints of this. The low level of finds on the surveyed arable reflects the former regime of heathlands, warrens and `brecks', only one area, in the northeast corner of the surveyed area, appearing to be an exception. The limitations imposed upon the scope of the woodland survey prevented fuller examination of earthworks surviving on areas of grassland.

We show that K 2m(F, t) and H 2m(F, s) both satisfy qm, a multilinear identity of degree 4m-3. As corollaries we obtain both new proofs and refinements of theorems of Kostant and Rowen concerning s 4m-2, a so-called "standard" polynomial identity for K2m( F, t) and H2m( F, s), and s4m -4, a "standard" polynomial identity for K2 m-1(F, t).

Reasoning Using Higher-Order Abstract Syntax in a Higher-Order Logic Proof Environment: Improvements to Hybrid and a Case Study

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Mathematics.
subject: Computer Science.

description: We present a series of improvements to the Hybrid system, a formal theory implemented in Isabelle/HOL to support specifying and reasoning about formal systems using higher-order abstract syntax (HOAS). We modify Hybrid's type of terms, which is built definitionally in terms of de Bruijn indices, to exclude at the type level terms with 'dangling' indices. We strengthen the injectivity property for Hybrid's variable-binding operator, and develop rules for compositional proof of its side condition, avoiding conversion from HOAS to de Bruijn indices. We prove representational adequacy of Hybrid (with these improvements) for a lambda-calculus-like subset of Isabelle/HOL syntax, at the level of set-theoretic semantics and without unfolding Hybrid's definition in terms of de Bruijn indices. In further work, we prove an induction principle that maintains some of the benefits of HOAS even for open terms. We also present a case study of the formalization in Hybrid of a small programming language, Mini-ML with mutable references, including its operational semantics and a type-safety property. This is the largest case study in Hybrid to date, and the first to formalize a language with mutable references. We compare four variants of this formalization based on the two-level approach adopted by Felty and Momigliano in other recent work on Hybrid, with various specification logics (SLs), including substructural logics, formalized in Isabelle/HOL and used in turn to encode judgments of the object language. We also compare these with a variant that does not use an intermediate SL layer. In the course of the case study, we explore and develop new proof techniques, particularly in connection with context invariants and induction on SL statements.

description: Background: The purpose of this research was to explore women's decision-making experiences related to the option of risk-reducing mastectomy (RM), using a case series of three women who are carriers of a BRCA1/2 gene mutation. Methods: Data was collected in a pilot study that assessed the response of women to an information booklet about RM and decision-making support strategies. A detailed analysis of three women's descriptions of their decision-making processes and outcomes was conducted. Results: All three women were carriers of a BRCA1/2 gene mutation and, although undecided, were leaning towards RM when initially assessed. Each woman reported a different RM decision outcome at last follow-up. Case #1 decided not to have RM, stating that RM was "too radical" and early detection methods were an effective strategy for dealing with breast cancer risk. Case #2 remained undecided about RM and, over time, she became less prepared to make a decision because she felt she did not have sufficient information about surgical effects. Case #3 had undergone RM by the time of her second follow-up interview and reported that she felt "a load off (her) mind now". Conclusion: RM decision making may shift over time and require decision support over an extended period.

description: Separation of fermentable sugars after hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass plays a vital role in second-generation biofuel production. Byproducts and solid fractions generated during pretreatment and hydrolysis can have adverse effects on fermentation efficiency. Previous studies have shown that a maximum of 40% (w/w) of sugar yield can be obtained by sequential UF and NF permeate recovery. This study aimed to introduce a multi-step membrane filtration process to recover fermentable sugars while removing inhibitory bi-products. Fermentable sugar recovery was investigated using a recirculation flow between various stages of separation. The experimental results demonstrated that by introducing NF permeate recirculation to the UF unit a sequential UF/NF system can achieve 60% (w/w%) recovery of reducing sugars. Based on the experimental results, a ‘Simultaneous ultrafiltration and nanofiltration model’ was developed using system dynamics. The model was used to predict the final sugar concentration and sugar yield using sugar permeability in each membrane as the dynamic variability. The model predicts that high sugar permeability (or selective permeability) through the ultrafiltration mostly affects the efficiency of the system, which still is a challenge.

description: Background: Nitrite inhalants ("poppers") are peripheral vasodilators which, since the beginning of the epidemic, have been known to increase risk for acquiring HIV infection among men who have sex with men (MSM). However, few studies in recent years have characterized use. From 1999 to 2004, new HIV diagnoses among MSM in British Columbia increased 78%, prompting us to examine the prevalence and correlates of this modifiable HIV risk factor. Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were completed between October 2002 and May 2004 as part of an open cohort study of HIV-seronegative young MSM. We measured nitrite inhalant use during the previous year and use during sexual encounters with casual partners specifically. Correlates of use were identified using odds ratios. Results: Among 354 MSM surveyed, 31.6% reported any use during the previous year. Nitrite inhalant use during sexual encounters was reported by 22.9% of men and was strongly associated with having casual partners, with greater numbers of casual partners (including those with positive or unknown serostatus) and with anal intercourse with casual partners. Nitrite inhalant use was not associated with non-use of condoms with casual sexual partners per se. Conclusion: Contemporary use of nitrite inhalants amongst young MSM is common and a strong indicator of anal intercourse with casual sexual partners. Since use appears to increase the probability of infection following exposure to HIV, efforts to reduce the use of nitrite inhalants among MSM should be a very high priority among HIV prevention strategies.

description: Torosaurus – the “pierced lizard” – has been the target of several investigations at the dawn of the 21st century. The holotype specimens for Torosaurus latus (YPM 1830) and its junior synonym Torosaurus gladius (YPM 1831) are both housed at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History (YPM) in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, and have been integral to many discussions about this animal. In March 2000, I spent several days at the YPM taking detailed notes on the Yale specimens. This file contains scans of the original notes.
A Technical Survey of Polymer Flooding Projects

description: A comprehensive survey of polymer flooding projects is essential to a thorough evaluation of enhanced oil recovery methods. This work seeks to statistically analyze the actual and projected performance of these projects. The report establishes a large data base of oil recovery, reservoir, and fluid identifiers for abandoned, current, and contemplated proj~cts. This data base was divided into subsets of field-wide and pilot projects. Statistics for each subset were determined separatel~ from both an analytical and a graphical perspective, and then were subsequently compared. One of the most important results found in these statistics is that the actual oil recovery of field-wide projects shows a close agreement with the I majority of previous surveys in the literature, except with respect to the identifier, actual oil recovery I (STB per lb polymer injected). This close agreement is demonstrated by similar, and in some cases, more favorable results than in previous surveys, with mean values of 3.85% OOIP, 4.22% Remaining OIP, 34.40 STB per Ac-Ft, and 3.74 STB oil recovered per lb polymer injected. Another significant result is that projects injecting polyacrylamide solutions into sandstone reservoirs accounted for the largest percentage contributions to the total actual oil recovery. The statistical computations include regression analyses of oil recovery as a function of selected fluid and reservoir identifiers. These analyses yielded statistically significant regression coefficients for ten oil recovery functions with the fallowing reservoir and fluid identifiers as independent variables: porosity, permeability, water-to-oil mobility ratio, polymer solution-to-oil mobility ratio, polymer solution pore volume, oil viscosity, water-to-oil ratio at start, average polymer concentration, mobile oil saturation, and net pay-to-gross pay ratio. No statistically significant regression coefficients were obtained for permeability variation, and, therefore, this result means that this reservoir identifier should be excluded as a screening factor for prospective polymer flooding projects.
A Statistical Study of Reservoir Heterogeneity

Effective Dispersivity

description: An accurate quantification of heterogeneity is essential to a better understanding of the relationship between a successful enhanced recovery process and the petroleum reservoir. The reservoir heterogeneity studied in this research pertains to variations in penneability. Conventional measures of this heterogeneity include the Dykstra-Parsons coefficient and the Lorenz coefficient. The basic assumptions and methods of calculation of these coefficients are examined along with a comparison of their ability to describe penneability variation. The potential of new methods to quantify heterogeneity are also studied. A computer program was written which employed statistical techniques to manipulate core data and calq.1late various measures of· heterogeneity. One of the most important results found from this research is that the lognormal permeability distribution assumption of the Dykstra- Parsons coefficient is not always true. Also an easier method than the ori9ina 1 .was determined to calculate the Dykstra-Parsons coefficient. The effective dispersivity was also proposed as a new measure of heterogeneity.
The role of the PGE2EP system in the regulation of sodiumpotassium-ATPase protein levels and cell survival in the M-1 cortical collecting duct cell line

description: Prostaglandin (PG) E2 is highly produced in the kidney and regulates sodium reabsorption, which is driven by the Na +/K+-ATPase (NKA) pump. It has been reported that high salt affects the activity of NKA in the cortical collecting duct. The current study addresses the role of PGE2 in NKA modulation and we hypothesize that PGE2 is acting via the EP4 receptor to increase NKA protein levels in hypertonic conditions. We demonstrated by immunoblotting an increase in NKA steady state levels of protein and activity in hypertonic conditions. Hypertonicity also stimulates cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and PGE 2 production and modulates EP receptor mRNA expression. Involvement of PGE2 in NKA regulation was determined by COX inhibition (indomethacin and ibuprofen) and EP receptor antagonism (L-161 982 (EP4), SC51089 (EP1)). With the exception of L-161 982, no change in NKA protein levels was observed, suggesting that NKA regulation is independent of PGE 2 in high salt. Our results also indicated that PGE2 is not involved in cell survival and that L161 982 increases apoptosis, which can explain the decrease in NKA levels in high salt.

Stripped-down DNA repair in a highly reduced parasite

Year: 2015

description: Background: Encephalitozoon cuniculi is a member of a distinctive group of single-celled parasitic eukaryotes called microsporidia, which are closely related to fungi. Some of these organisms, including E. cuniculi, also have uniquely small genomes that are within the prokaryotic range. Thus, E. cuniculi has undergone a massive genome reduction which has resulted in a loss of genes from diverse biological pathways, including those that act in DNA repair. DNA repair is essential to any living cell. A loss of these mechanisms invariably results in accumulation of mutations and/or cell death. Six major pathways of DNA repair in eukaryotes include: non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), homologous recombination repair (HRR), mismatch repair (MMR), nucleotide excision repair (NER), base excision repair (BER) and methyltransferase repair. DNA polymerases are also critical players in DNA repair processes. Given the close relationship between microsporidia and fungi, the repair mechanisms present in E. cuniculi were compared to those of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ascertain how the process of genome reduction has affected the DNA repair pathways. Results E. cuniculi lacks 16 (plus another 6 potential absences) of the 56 DNA repair genes sought via BLASTP and PSI-BLAST searches. Six of 14 DNA polymerases or polymerase subunits are also absent in E. cuniculi. All of these genes are relatively well conserved within eukaryotes. The absence of genes is not distributed equally among the different repair pathways; some pathways lack only one protein, while there is a striking absence of many proteins that are components of both double strand break repair pathways. All specialized repair polymerases are also absent. Conclusion Given the large number of DNA repair genes that are absent from the double strand break repair pathways, E. cuniculi is a prime candidate for the study of double strand break repair with minimal machinery. Strikingly, all of the double strand break repair genes that have been retained by E. cuniculi participate in other biological pathways.
