Hecke algebras

description: Let G be a split semisimple algebraic group over a field k. Our main objects of interest are twisted forms of projective homogeneous G-varieties. These varieties have been important objects of research in algebraic geometry since the 1960's. The theory of Chow motives and their decompositions is a powerful tool for studying twisted forms of projective homogeneous varieties. Motivic decompositions were discussed in the works of Rost, Karpenko, Merkurjev, Chernousov, Calmes, Petrov, Semenov, Zainoulline, Gille and other researchers. The main goal of the present thesis is to connect motivic decompositions of twisted homogeneous varieties to decompositions of certain modules over Hecke-type algebras that allow purely combinatorial description. We work in a slightly more general situation than Chow motives, namely we consider the category of h-motives for an oriented cohomology theory h. Examples of h include Chow groups, Grothendieck K_0, algebraic cobordism of Levine-Morel, Morava K-theory and many other examples. For a group G there is the notion of a versal torsor such that any G-torsor over an infinite field can be obtained as a specialization of a versal torsor. We restrict our attention to the case of twisted homogeneous spaces of the form E/P where P is a special parabolic subgroup of G. The main result of this thesis states that there is a one-to-one correspondence between h-motivic decompositions of the variety E/P and direct sum decompositions of modules DFP* over the graded formal affine Demazure algebra DF. This algebra was defined by Hoffnung, Malagon-Lopez, Savage and Zainoulline combinatorially in terms of the character lattice, the Weyl group and the formal group law of the cohomology theory h. In the classical case h=CH the graded formal affine Demazure algebra DF coincides with the nil Hecke ring, introduced by Kostant and Kumar in 1986. So the Chow motivic decompositions of versal homogeneous spaces correspond to decompositions of certain modules over the nil Hecke ring. As an application, we give a purely combinatorial proof of the indecomposability of the Chow motive of generic Severi-Brauer varieties and the versal twisted form of HSpin8/P1.

description: Eine wichtige Herausforderung bei tribologischen Systemen ist die Überwachung und aktive Beeinflussung der Reibung durch einen nicht-mechanischen Stimulus. Die Verwendung eines elektrischen Impulses in Kombination mit ionischen Flüssigkeiten (ILs) bzw. deren Mischungen (ILMs) als Schmiermittel wurde als vielversprechende Option für die aktive Reibungskontrolle identifiziert. Bei der Schmierung zweier metallischer Reibpartner mit ILs oder ILMs kann das Anlegen eines elektrischen Potentials zu einer dauerhaften Änderung des Reibungskoeffizienten führen. Durch die Ladung an der Oberfläche wird oberflächennah eine molekulare Anordnung der Ionen durch Adsorption erzeugt. Die Qualität und Quantität der Reibwertunterschiede kann durch die Oberflächenladungsdichte, aber auch durch die Größe und elementare Zusammensetzung der Anionen beeinflusst und gezielt gesteuert werden. Zudem konnte das Tribosystem mit einem Tribo-Regler gekoppelt werden, sodass voreingestellte Reibwerte im Laufe der Zeit automatisch angepasst werden konnten. Hierbei wurden reversible Programmierungen des Reibwerts von bis zu ±230 % erreicht. Auch wurde die technische Kompatibilität der ILMs in Kugellagern getestet.

Teaching experiences

description: Each year a group of university students from English speaking countries go to Chile and work as volunteers under the National Volunteer Centre Program. The purpose of this case study is to examine how a group of novice volunteer teachers describe their experiences in a foreign country and how these experiences shape their understanding of teaching. Participants went through the process of open-ended questionnaires and one-on-one interviews of their experience. This study was sustained in the literature by the domains of volunteerism, English Language Teaching, and volunteerism and ELT, and a socio constructivist and experiential lens was adopted. Even though volunteer teaching abroad is an increasing worldwide trend, there are few studies that combine these areas, showing that the existing blend of volunteerism and English language teaching needs to be further examined. The analysis of the data showed that novice volunteer teachers experience five types of experiences when teaching English: language teaching experiences, language learning experiences, challenges, general experiences, and volunteering experiences. Novice teachers recalled their expectations before teaching and those were maintained, modified, or unfulfilled. Volunteers stated what teaching means to them after working in public schools, they were able to describe diverse language teaching experiences, and make recommendations to future volunteers.
Accepting Bilingualism in English-speaking Canada, Testing the Limits of the Official Languages Policy in the Federal Public Service, 1962-1972

description: This work is concerned with the way that official bilingualism emerged as a part of English-Canadian values in the 1960s. Much of this work is about the effort in the 1960s to change the federal public service from a stronghold of English-speaking Canada to an organisation where English-speaking and French-speaking Canadians could work in their own language on an equal footing. The archival records of the Professional Institute of the Public Service provide detailed insight into this change and the resistance to it. It is the thesis of this work that the adaptation to official bilingualism in the Public Service of Canada played a key role in setting English-speaking attitudes to bilingualism. The struggle to define and impose official bilingualism in the federal public service was a testing ground for the evolution of bilingualism in English-speaking Canada as a whole. As much of English-speaking Canada accepted the value of bilingualism in principle, the public service worked out the practical ramifications of this culture change. The result was a slow and only partial progress toward effective bilingualism in the federal public service and in Canada as a whole.

description: By the end of the Great War, Canadians had become more divided along cultural-linguistic lines than perhaps at any other point in their history. Issues surrounding French-language rights outside Quebec and Canada’s place in the British Empire had proved especially contentious leading up to and during the war. Twenty years later, however, the country was relatively united as it prepared to enter yet another global conflict. This study explores the important (albeit partial) rapprochement that occurred during the interwar period between English- and French-speaking Canadians, and in Quebec and Ontario in particular. Remarkably, this rapprochement was the result of both a ‘ground-up’ pressure from civil society, and cross-cultural accommodation occurring among political élites. Driven by a combination of idealism and self-interested pragmatism, Anglophone and Francophone intellectuals, academics, professionals, businessmen and other citizens who were deeply concerned about the country’s future led the call for a more tolerant, pluralistic and liberal Canadian society – one that would allow for greater acceptance of Canada’s French fact and for a higher degree of cross-cultural accommodation. Gradually, rapprochement began making its way into the public discourse – through professional and fraternal associations, popular culture, and through more positive contact with the ‘Other.’ As the rhetoric of cross-cultural understanding developed a wider audience, the political parties responded. The Liberal Party, especially, pressured by its own members from within civil society, became the political vehicle for rapprochement, and began to deal with the big issues of Francophone/Anglophone relations in ways that had been almost impossible a generation earlier.

description: Die Dekarbonisierung der industriellen Dampferzeugung ist essenziell zur Reduktion von CO₂-Emissionen und zur Erreichung der Klimaziele. Latentwärmespeicher (LWS) mit metallischen Phasenwechselmaterialien (PCM) bieten eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit zur Flexibilisierung von Energiesystemen, sind jedoch bislang unzureichend untersucht. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird eine systemische, ökologische und ökonomische Bewertung der Integration eines LWS in industrielle Dampfprozesse durchgeführt. Dazu werden drei Szenarien verglichen: ein gasbefeuerter Dampfkessel (Referenzszenario), ein elektrischer Dampfkessel und ein elektrischer Dampfkessel mit LWS. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Integration eines LWS wirtschaftliche Vorteile gegenüber einer direkten Elektrifizierung bietet, indem Lastspitzen ausgeglichen und CO₂-Emissionen gesenkt werden. Allerdings ist die Technologie derzeit noch nicht wettbewerbsfähig mit der fossilen Dampferzeugung, da hohe Strompreise und Investitionskosten die Wirtschaftlichkeit begrenzen. Um das Potenzial von LWS auszuschöpfen, sind weitere Anreize durch politische Maßnahmen und gezielte Forschungsinitiativen erforderlich.
description: The decarbonization of industrial steam generation is crucial for reducing CO₂ emissions and achieving climate goals. Latent heat storage (LHS) with metallic phase change materials (PCM) offers a promising approach to increasing energy system flexibility but remains insufficiently studied. This study conducts a systemic, ecological, and economic evaluation of LHS integration into industrial steam processes. Three scenarios are compared: a gas-fired steam boiler (reference scenario), an electric steam boiler, and an electric steam boiler with LHS. The results indicate that LHS integration provides economic advantages over direct electrification by balancing peak loads and reducing CO₂ emissions. However, the technology is currently not yet competitive with fossil-based steam generation, as high electricity prices and investment costs limit economic feasibility. To unlock the full potential of LHS, further incentives through policy measures and targeted research initiatives are necessary.
Protein Dimer Stability in Concentrated Synthetic Polymer Solutions

description: Synthetic polymer solutions at concentrations of hundreds of grams per liter are used to stabilize proteins and mimic the crowded intracellular environment. Several theories have been developed to explain the stabilizing effect of crowding, but almost all assume only contributions from hard (steric) contacts, ignoring soft (enthalpic) chemical interactions. We quantified the effects of the polymers poly(ethylene glycol), dextran, and Ficoll™, as well as their monomers ethylene glycol, glucose, and sucrose, respectively, on the A34F variant of the B1 binding domain of streptococcal protein G (GB1-A34F), which forms a side-by-side dimer. The dimer is 19F labeled to facilitate detection using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. We measured dimer dissociation as a function of temperature, cosolute molecular weight and cosolute concentration, allowing quantification of the stability (i.e., free energy), enthalpy, and entropy of dissociation. The cosolutes affect stability and the enthalpy change negatively and positively, depending on polymer molecular weight and concentration, indicating a deviation from the classical crowding theory.

description: Multicore CPUs (Central Processing Units) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) are omnipresent in today’s market-leading smartphones and tablets. With CPUs and GPUs getting more complex, maximizing hardware utilization is becoming problematic. The challenges faced in GPGPU (General Purpose computing using GPU) computing on embedded platforms are different from their desktop counterparts due to their memory and computational limitations. This thesis evaluates the performance and energy efficiency achieved by offloading Java applications to an embedded GPU. The existing solutions in literature address various techniques and benefits of offloading Java on desktop or server grade GPUs and not on embedded GPUs. Our research is focussed on providing a framework for accelerating Java programs on embedded GPUs. Our experiments were conducted on a Freescale i.MX6Q SabreLite board which encompasses a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU and a Vivante GC 2000 GPU that supports the OpenCL 1.1 Embedded Profile. We successfully accelerated Java code and reduced energy consumption by employing two approaches, namely JNI-OpenCL, and JOCL, which is a popular Java-binding for OpenCL. These approaches can be easily implemented on other platforms by embedded Java programmers to exploit the computational power of GPUs. Our results show up to an 8 times increase in performance efficiency and 3 times decrease in energy consumption compared to the embedded CPU-only execution of Java program. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work done on accelerating Java on an embedded GPU.

description: Methods to resolve wavelength contention are needed to improve the performance of optical burst switched (OBS) networks. Network simulations and Markovian queuing models for nodes in isolation have suggested that deflection routing (alternate routing) may be a viable method to resolve wavelength contention. However, we show that deflection routing may destabilise OBS networks operating at high loads. To prevent the destabilising effect of deflection routing, we propose and analyse a technique called wavelength reservation to intentionally limit the amount of deflection at high loads. Wavelength reservation is analogous to trunk reservation in circuit switched networks. This paper is the first to present a new reduced load Erlang fixed point analysis of OBS networks with deflection routing and wavelength reservation. We apply the new analysis to evaluate the benefit of deploying deflection routing and wavelength reservation in a sample OBS network.

description: In this thesis, we provide a review of the theories of C*-algebras and free probability, and we offer a survey of some applications of free probability in the study of the spectrum of random matrices. Then, we study the occurence of *-freeness in tensor products of families of noncommutative random variables, with possible applications in the study of the spectrum of tensor products of large random matrices. Main Original Results: In this context, the main original results we obtained are as follows: general sufficient conditions for the *-freeness in tensor products (Corollary 6.11 and Proposition 6.15); a complete characterization for the occurence of *-freeness in the tensor product of two families that contain *-free variables (Theorem 6.20); and a nontrivial necessary condition for the occurence of *-freeness in tensor products in group algebras (Corollary 6.42).
Feature Attribution for Automatic Medical Coding

description: Assigning medical codes to clinical reports is an important task in the healthcare domain, primarily for documentation, billing, and research purposes. Multipage reports and a high-dimensional label space cause the manual mapping process to be time-consuming and error-prone. While deep neural networks have recently achieved promising performance in automatic medical coding, the opaque decisionmaking process of these models hampers their adoption in real-world scenarios. This points to the need for explanations revealing the reasons behind model predictions. In this master’s thesis, we address a specific type of explanations, namely feature attributions for text classification models. These explanations indicate which words in the input are relevant for the model to produce a particular output. Several existing models for automatic medical coding provide such feature attributions. However, they all lack an evaluation of faithfulness, i.e. of how accurately the attributions reflect the model’s reasoning process. In high-stakes decision scenarios such as medical coding, the faithfulness of attributions is crucial to account for the legal, financial, and ethical relevance of the code assignment. The contribution of this thesis is threefold: First, we analyze recent literature on feature attribution to examine the theoretical adequacy of the most commonly used methods with respect to our use case. Second, we investigate in experiments the applicability of a popular gradient-based attribution method, called Integrated Gradients, to two medical coding models. Third, we discuss the suitability of a recent faithfulness metric, called infidelity, from a theoretical perspective, and scrutinize its applicability to the medical coding task in experiments. Our attribution results indicate that Integrated Gradients cannot be readily applied to the current state-of-the art medical coding model, implying the need for further research in this area. Our discussion of infidelity suggests that this metric represents a reasonable notion of faithfulness. Our experiments appear to confirm its suitability for the medical coding task. Based on these results, we believe that this metric has the potential to become a standard tool for evaluating the faithfulness of feature attributions.

description: Background: Persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is endorsed by the World Health Organization as an intermediate endpoint for evaluating HPV vaccine effectiveness/efficacy. There are different approaches to estimate the vaccine effectiveness/efficacy against persistent HPV infections. Methods: We performed a systematic literature search in Pubmed to identify statistical approaches that have been used to estimate the vaccine effectiveness/efficacy against persistent HPV infections. We applied these methods to data of a longitudinal observational study to assess their performance and compare the obtained vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates. Results: Our literature search identified four approaches: the conditional exact test for comparing two independent Poisson rates using a binomial distribution, Generalized Estimating Equations for Poisson regression, Prentice Williams and Peterson total time (PWP-TT) and Cox proportional hazards regression. These approaches differ regarding underlying assumptions and provide different effect measures. However, they provided similar effectiveness estimates against HPV16/18 and HPV31/33/45 persistent infections in a cohort of young women eligible for routine HPV vaccination (range VE 93.7–95.1% and 60.4–67.7%, respectively) and seemed robust to violations of underlying assumptions. Conclusions: As the rate of subsequent infections increased in our observational cohort, we recommend PWP-TT as the optimal approach to estimate the vaccine effectiveness against persistent HPV infections in young women. Confirmation of our findings should be undertaken by applying these methods after longer follow-up in our study, as well as in different populations.

description: Corporate governance had had an increasing focus in the last decade as corporate collapses and fraudulent activity have occurred resulting in corporate collapses, loss of shareholde r funds and jobs and a reduction in public confidence. The position of human resources into governance is an important area of study b ut even so its position is problematic. This paper investigates the position of labour within organisations ’ corporate gov ernance frameworks by analysing twenty Australian companies’ published reports and web sites . It concludes that despite all the rhetoric around employees being stakeholders, employees continue to be viewed as ‘outsiders’ with governance primarily focused o n shareholder concerns. Employees are primarily seen as constituents of legal and regulatory frameworks and employee codes of conduct and lack a position in strategy and effective decision - making structures.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1978
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Social.

description: Two studies designed to examine the attributionalbehavioral-affective factors underlying heterosexual social relations were undertaken. The first study compared measures of social avoidance and distress, fear of negative evaluation, attribution bias, risk taking, and hope for future success between persons high and low in social self-esteem in success and failure heterosexual social circumstances. Two hundred and fifty-four male undergraduate university students served as the subjects. High social self-esteem subjects were characterized by low scores on SAD and FNE. They attributed successful social experiences to internal and stable causes, and failure social experiences to external and variable causes. In contrast, low social self-esteem subjects were characterized by high scores on SAD and FNE. They attributed successful social experiences to external and variable-causes, and failure social experiences to internal and stable causes. It was the Stability-Variability dimension which characterized the success and failure attributions of high social self-esteem subjects, while it was the Locus of Control dimension which characterized the success and failure attributions of low social self-esteem subjects. In the second study, 39 subjects were assigned to one of six treatment conditions: social skills training; cognitive re-attribution; combined skills training and reattribution; homework assignments; self-monitoring; and test-retest control. These subjects were selected on the basis of low scores on the SSEI, high scores on the SAD and FNE scales, and a demonstrated negative attribution bias. Results did not show significant differences between the treatment conditions. However, the small number of subjects in each group seriously reduced the statistical power of the analyses, significant overall treatment effects were obtained from pre- to posttesting. It was suggested that the self-monitoring of social contacts was the variable to account for these effects. Implications for future research were discussed. Attempts were made to relate self-monitoring to cognitive aspects of behavior change.

Studies of radio galaxies and starburst galaxies using wide-field, high spatial resolution radio imaging
Creators: name: Lenc, Emil
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis reports on the application of new wide-field Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) imaging techniques using real data for the first time. These techniques are used to target three specific science areas: (i) a sub-parsec-scale study of compact radio sources in nearby starburst galaxies, (ii) a study of jet interactions in active radio galaxies, and (iii) an unbiased study of the sub-arcsecond, 90 cm sky. Six local southern starburst galaxies are surveyed on sub-parsec-scales using wide-field VLBI techniques. Compact radio sources are detected in two of the most prominent galaxies, NGC 253 and NGC 4945. Modelling of the compact source spectra reveal the majority have steep spectra, associated with supernova remnants, and are significantly free-free absorbed by a dense ionised screen. Limits on the supernova rate and star formation rate in these galaxies are estimated based on source fading, source population modelling, and on source counts and sizes. No or few compact radio sources are detected in the less prominent galaxies, presumably as a result of reduced star formation and/or star formation in sparse environments that result in weak and short-lived supernovae and remnants. The hot spots and interaction regions of three active radio galaxies are studied at parsec-scales, for the first time, using wide-field VLBI imaging. The resulting images have provided the most detailed views of these regions to date. In two of the target sources, PKS 0518-458 (Pictor A) and PKS 0521-365, the hot spot emission is resolved into a set of compact components. The emission mechanisms in the hot spots are discussed based on their morphology and additional multi-wavelength data. Two overlapping 28 deg2 regions are surveyed in detail using wide-field VLBI techniques in the first systematic (and non-biased), deep, high resolution survey of the low frequency sky. This represents a field of view two orders of magnitude greater than anything previously attempted in a single pointing with VLBI. A total of 27 sources were detected as far as 2◦ from the phase centre. The results of the survey suggest that new low frequency telescopes, such as LOFAR and SKA, should detect many compact radio sources and that plans to extend these arrays to baselines of several thousand kilometres are warranted.

description: “Area restriction” is the umbrella term used for this thesis to consider geography-based, individually- assigned orders issued by criminal justice agents to remove and restrict targets from particular city spaces. This research focuses on 13 Canadian cities that use arrest-and-release area restriction strategies to managing street sex work(ers). Despite heavy criticism for their punitive nature, area restrictions have received little academic attention. This project takes an exploratory and descriptive approach to the issue in order to develop a platform for future research. Using qualitative, non-experimental methods it also critically analyzes the implementation, logic and reported impacts of the strategies while drawing implications for how area restrictions relate to citizenship statuses of sex workers by mapping exclusions onto the city. Multiple data sources were included but the most significant and compelling information comes from interviews with police officers and community agency workers. Findings suggest that area restriction strategies contribute to substantial social divides between sex workers and other community members, but also between sex workers and important services, resources and their community. At the same time, the strategy is reported as a “temporary relief” measure that is ineffective at lessening sex trade activity and often leads to displacement and dispersal of sex work(ers). However, collaborative efforts in some cities show promise for achieving goals of ‘helping sex workers off the street.’ Realistic recommendations for area restriction strategies are made that lead to more inclusive approaches that are considerate of needs and concerns of all interest groups linked to the “prostitution problem.”
Getting it right: is it ethical, environmental, green or sustainable consumption?
Creators: name: Rex, Judith E.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: As today's marketers work towards motivating and encouraging 'ethical', 'environmental', 'green', and 'sustainable' behaviours there is the need for consensus about the correct term(s) to use. This paper discusses these constructs as they relate to a wide range of behaviours, and shows that there are differences in their meanings. For example, some sustainable consumption behaviours are not ethical behaviours; the terms environmental and green consumption can be used interchangeably; and sustainable consumption in the market place cannot be achieved unless the target market's ethical concerns are addressed. Marketers need to familiarise themselves with the meaning of these terms before proceeding with research.

description: Faserverbundwerkstoffe (FVW) spielen in der heutigen Industrie eine wichtige Rolle. Dies ist auf deren vorteilhaften Eigenschaften, u. a. ihre hohe Festigkeit und Steifigkeit bei gleichzeitig geringer Dichte, zurückzuführen [1]. Auch durch den Druck auf die Industrie und den steigenden Anforderungen, die Energie- und Kostenreduktion zu erfüllen [2], werden FVW zunehmend in vielen industriellen Bereichen eingesetzt [3]. Zudem weisen FVW ein hohes Innovationspotential im Bereich Produkt- und Prozessentwicklung auf [2], da neue Werkstoffzusammensetzungen und Geometrien realisiert werden können [4, 5]. Den größten Anteil an FVW bilden die glasfaserverstärkten Kunststoffe (GFK), die vorwiegend in der Windenergiebranche, in der Automobilindustrie und im Bootsbau Anwendung finden [3]. Mit kohlenstofffaserverstärkten Kunststoffen (CFK) kann eine noch höhere Gewichtsreduktion erreicht werden [6]. Diese kommen zum größten Teil im Flugzeugbau, in der Automobilbranche und im Sportbereich zum Einsatz [5]. Das Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Materialklassen in einem Werkstoff zieht auch Nachteile mit sich. Im Inneren des Werkstücks können Fehler wie Delaminationen, Faserbrüche oder Lufteinschlüsse enthalten sein, die von außen nicht sichtbar sind. Für gängige Prüfmethoden, mit denen konventionelleWerkstoffe untersucht werden, ist die Detektion dieser Fehler zu komplex und der Prüfaufwand dementsprechend höher. Ein weiteres Problem ist, dass sich die Ausprägung und Mechanismen von Schäden in FVW aufgrund der hohen Anisotropie grundlegend von konventionellen, metallischen Werkstoffen unterscheiden. Da herstellungsbedingte Fehler in Bauteilen die Funktionalität des Bauteils herabsetzen, ist es wichtig, diese Fehler durch Untersuchungen mit geeigneten Verfahren einschätzen zu können [7]. Um dies zu ermöglichen, müssen Verfahren gefunden werden, die industrietauglich und kosteneffizient sind und gleichzeitig verlässliche Ergebnisse liefern. Für diese Zwecke eignen sich zerstörungsfreie Prüfverfahren (ZfP), mit denen die Untersuchungen automatisiert im Herstellungsprozess durchgeführt werden können. Insbesondere für Serienproduktionen ergeben sich dadurch wirtschaftliche Einsparpotentiale [8, 9]. Durch geeignete Qualitätssicherungsmethoden, die das Prüfverfahren und die Fehler im Bauteil bewerten, kann eine Korrelation ermittelt werden.

Development of a Dimaleimide-Based Protein Labelling Technique for Fluorogenic, X-Ray Crystallography and NMR Applications

description: Fluorescent protein labelling is a powerful tool for the sensitive visualization of proteins in living cells, allowing the elucidation of their localization, trafficking and ultimately their cellular function. We have developed a novel labelling technique based on the genetic fusion of a protein of interest to a small helical peptide sequence containing two Cys residues (dC10). This tag can undergo an efficient reaction with small fluorogenic labelling agents composed of a fluorophore and a dimaleimide core (dM10) that confers high reaction specificity, and quenches the latent fluorescence through photo-induced electron transfer, until both of its maleimide groups have formed robust covalent bonds with the tag Cys thiol groups. Our initial efforts at intracellular protein labelling demonstrated the importance of the selectivity of the labelling reaction, which is dependent on the reactivity of the dC10 tag. To that end, we re-engineered the dC10 tag through rational protein design. Mutant libraries were prepared through combinatorial mutation at specific positions of the helical tag sequence, and screened for their fluorogenic reactivity. In this way, we identified a novel sequence for a next-generation dC10 tag that confers 10-fold greater selectivity that we then applied to in cellulo labelling. Subsequent mechanistic studies revealed the basis for this dramatic increase in reactivity. Current applications of this powerful labelling technique, including the site-specific chelation of lanthanide ions for NMR spectroscopy and site-specific covalent heavy-atom labelling for X-ray crystallography, will also be discussed.
What determines the bottom line for Maori tourism SMEs?
Creators: name: Foley, Dennis
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Ten Maori businesses involved in tourism operations were studied with the aim of determining what they considered were the key factors of business sustainability and what determined their bottom line. A qualitative case study analysis using a grounded theory approach was applied. The conclusions provide an insight into the growing indigenous participation at the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) level within Aotearoa (New Zealand) relating to Maori cultural values. The choice between cultural values verses economic values can result in sacrifi cing income; the Maori entrepreneur has to make a conscious decision as to which value they adopt in their businesses. This study provides a unique and personal insight into sustainable indigenous entrepreneurship that is a foundation for future research.
