Structure and content-based clustering for visualization of web network information
Creators: name: Gao, Jing
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Web network information plays an important role in people's daily lives. Visualizing this kind of information is difficult due to the enormous amount of inter-related data distributed across the whole network. Graph visualization is a suitable approach for representing web network relationships. However, this approach creates some challenges in practice, such as large graph layout, and 'noisy' information removal. Filtering and clustering hold promise as being perceptually rich and efficient ways to remove unrelated information and reduce the size of the graph, but little is known about their contributions in web network visualization, especially considering the contents of web information. This research mainly focuses on the investigation of analyzing the contents of web information as well as the web network structures, and using these analysis to form an effective graph layout for the user's interactions and navigation. An approach is proposed for improving the web network information visualization, which is grounded on the structure and content-based clustering, along with the detailed explanations of each stage - from web content crawling, clustering analysis, to graph layout. In order to remove the 'noisy' information, a web content crawler is developed by integrating filtering. An interactive filtering is introduced to help users to locate information from the relationships point of view by utilizing edge weight. Three clustering analyzers for clustering web network information are developed to reduce the complexity of the generated graph. The structure and content-based analyzer considers the information from both the structure aspect and the content aspect. It gives a general view for network information, in which the nodes represent URLs in the visualization. The FCA (Formal Concept Analysis) analyzer tries to find all natural clusters by using the concept lattice. While the ontology-based analysis makes use of the created ontology network to organize information from semantic view. These two analyzers show a keyword-based view for blog/social network information by assigning the nodes with keywords. To demonstrate the above proposed methods, some experiments and case studies have been carried out. The results have shown that using these approaches could improve the performance of putting similar pages into the same group, and make the graph visualization for web network information effectively.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Botany.

description: The $\beta$-lactamase producing plasmids of Neisseria gonorrhoeae pJD4 (Asia-type plasmid), pJD5 (Africa-type plasmid), pJD7 (Toronto-type plasmid), pGO4717 (Rio-type plasmid) and pGF1 (Nimes plasmid) are structurally related. The primary sequence of pJD4, the primary sequence around the deletion of pJD5, pJD7 and the Rio plasmid, and the insertion of pGF1 were determined using the dideoxy termination method. This is the first report which identified the exact size and location of deletion of the $\beta$-lactamase plasmids of N. gonorrhoeae based on DNA sequence analyses. The primary sequence of pJD4 was used as reference for all other plasmids. Coordinates were numbered from the PstI site. In addition, regions around the deletion of four other Toronto-type plasmids pGC1213, pGC4538, pGC5221, pGC5228, were also sequenced. Based on the DNA sequence of pJD4, a comprehensive restriction endonuclease map ot PJD4 was constructed and compared to previously published maps. Analysis of the primary sequence of pJD4 including the region homologous to TnA shows at least 62 direct repeats (DR) and 24 inverted repeats greater or equal to 10 base pairs (bp) in length.

description: A high‐entropy Prussian blue analogue, Nax(FeMnNiCuCo)[Fe(CN)6], is developed as a robust host structure for reversible sodium insertion. Battery cells using the new cathode active material show significantly improved cycling performance and stability, among others due to its nearly zero‐strain operation. Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are reported to be efficient sodium storage materials because of the unique advantages of their metal–organic framework structure. However, the issues of low specific capacity and poor reversibility, caused by phase transitions during charge/discharge cycling, have thus far limited the applicability of these materials. Herein, a new approach is presented to substantially improve the electrochemical properties of PBAs by introducing high entropy into the crystal structure. To achieve this, five different metal species are introduced, sharing the same nitrogen‐coordinated site, thereby increasing the configurational entropy of the system beyond 1.5R. By careful selection of the elements, high‐entropy PBA (HE‐PBA) presents a quasi‐zero‐strain reaction mechanism, resulting in increased cycling stability and rate capability. The key to such improvement lies in the high entropy and associated effects as well as the presence of several active redox centers. The gassing behavior of PBAs is also reported. Evolution of dimeric cyanogen due to oxidation of the cyanide ligands is detected, which can be attributed to the structural degradation of HE‐PBA during battery operation. By optimizing the electrochemical window, a Coulombic efficiency of nearly 100% is retained after cycling for more than 3000 cycles.
Literacy practices: Social and linguistic issues related to reading in a second orthography.

Subjects: subject: Education, Reading.

description: As the English language continues to hold a prominent international position both politically and academically, the need for second/foreign language (L2) learners especially those involved in the scientific and technological disciplines to read from their books in English remains a vital social and educational issue. Even though language learners seem to understand this urgency, they often show resistance towards the L2 literacy package and reading in the language which not only introduces new linguistic knowledge, but more importantly suggests change in a learner's identity. The latter seems to occur more often in situations where the learners' literacy practices do not match those in the second language. This mismatch seems to be more salient between languages in which the construction of orthographic systems are different from the Roman script. Researchers have suggested that in cultures where literacy is negotiated through scripts differing from English; as in Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic/Farsi, the levels of processing language is different in comparison to languages which use the Roman script in their literacy practices. Furthermore, research has indicated a relationship between first language reading and what takes place in the second/foreign language. For example, investigations of several variables such as background knowledge, text format, and rhetorical structure of the first language, seem to show that they either transfer to or influence second/foreign language reading. However, what has received little attention in ESL/EFL research is the influence of the first language writing system when it differs from the Roman script. The present research that was conducted in Iran, is an inquiry into reading processes of sixty-three Iranian undergraduate students. An attempt was made to explore multiple variables related to L2 reading by applying both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. For the quantitative data, multivariate statistical procedures were conducted to see which variables, namely L1 reading proficiency (first language cloze task), L2 language proficiency (second language cloze task), L1 and L2 visual search strategy (L1 and L2 visual search task) contributed most to comprehension of English text related to both a general topic and a chemistry topic. In the qualitative analysis, introspective techniques were adopted to investigate hidden issues (through think-aloud-protocols) related to social and community literacy practices not tapped in the product-oriented quantitative investigation. Results of this study reveal the influence of both sociopolitical and linguistic factors in reading English as a second/foreign language.

The early Nabokov novels
Creators: name: Villeneuve, Philippe
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Literature, American.

description: Comments made by Vladimir Nabokov concerning both his fiction and literature in general have helped determine the critical attitude of his most influential readers. The consensus among them is that his novels are meticulously self-contained artifacts that are meant to be "investigated" according to his precepts. As a result, his early novels have garnered relatively little critical attention because it is assumed that they were written at a time when he had not yet arrived at a full mastery of the principles that would inform his more carefully crafted art in later years. This thesis will show how three early novels actually benefit from the kind of close reading critics have reserved for later ones. In order to do this, however, it engages with the sort of theorists that Nabokovians, encouraged by the Master's dismissive comments, have tended to avoid.
A guanine to adenine mutation -76bp from the transcriptional start site decreases constitutive CYP1A2 expression in a novel mouse strain

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Biology, Genetics.

description: Variations in the expression of drug metabolizing enzymes of the Cytochrome P450 superfamily are a principal cause of atypical reactions to therapeutics. The molecular mechanisms by which the metabolizing enzymes of the drug are regulated, and the effects of genetic variation on this regulation, are not completely understood. Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) is one such enzyme. The APN mouse strain has low expression of the CYP1A2 enzyme, relative to the C3H/HeJ strain. It was hypothesized that this difference in expression of the CYP1A2 was occurring as a result of a single nucleotide polymorphism at the Cyp1a2 locus. This work has demonstrated that this variation in CYP1A2 expression occurs at the level of transcription and that a single nucleotide change 76 base pairs upstream of the transcriptional start site was critical for promoter function. The mechanism of constitutive CYP1A2 expression involves a previously unidentified cis-acting element in this region.

No Vacancy High Rent. Low Vacancy. Growing Homelessness

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: In 2016, No Vacancy: Affordability and Homelessness in Vancouver provided a point in time snapshot of the growing affordability crisis within the City of Vancouver. By examining structural factors such as vacancy rates at low-end-of-market, cost of average rent, available income, cost of living, social housing built, and rent supplements provided, No Vacancy concluded that within the then-current environment, “homelessness [would] continue to grow without addressing these key structural issues.”1 The most recent point-in-time homeless counts, along with updated data on vacancy rates throughout Metro Vancouver suggest this to be the case. Low-income families, specifically single-parent families, are faced with a stagnant supply of affordable housing options and low vacancy rates, contributing to an increasing level of unaffordability. Due to this reality, much of this report focuses on the challenges low-income families encounter when trying to secure appropriate housing. With the crisis spreading, calling Metro Vancouver home is only getting harder.
Interplay between cations, anionic lipids, and lipid-protein interactions at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
Creators: name: Sturgeon, Raymond M
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Biophysics, General.

description: Mixtures of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidic acid (PA) are particularly effective at stabilizing a functional nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). To test whether the ability of PA to adopt both monoanionic and dianionic states plays a role in lipid-nAChR interactions, we monitored the ionization state of PA in nAChR-reconstituted membranes. In the presence of the nAChR, PA head groups in PC/PA 3:2 membranes are stabilized in the monoanionic state. Stabilization of monoanionic PA in nAChR-reconstituted membranes accounts for some of the observed increase in membrane gel-to-liquid crystal phase transition temperature (Tm) upon nAChR incorporation, possibly by nAChR-induced pH reduction at the membrane surface. Increasing concentrations of cations at the bilayer surface and diacylglycerol within the bilayer account for the remaining shift in membrane Tm observed upon nAChR incorporation. We conclude that the nAChR, which is a cation-selective ion channel, alters its environment through both cation concentration and enzymatic activity.

description: Background: Drug utilization studies based on real-world data are vital for the identification of potentially needed improvements to rational prescribing. This is particularly important for the pharmacological treatment of children and adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) due to the associated potential side effects and the frequent use. Whereas prevalent use is well-characterized, studies on first-time use of ADHD medication are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate off-label prescribing in first-time users of ADHD medication among children and adolescents in Germany based on three criteria: (i) lack of a documented ADHD diagnosis; (ii) first-time pharmacological treatment with a second-line drug; and (iii) patient age below 6 years.

description: Background: Parents with cancer have high rates of psychological morbidity, and their children are at risk of poor psychosocial outcomes, particularly in the context of parental distress and poor family communication. Parents express concerns about the impact of cancer on their children and report a lack of professional guidance in meeting their children's needs. Few parenting interventions exist and current interventions have extensive infrastructure demands making them unsuitable for routine use in most health settings. The aims of this study are to develop and establish the feasibility and acceptability of a novel and accessible psycho-educational intervention to improve parenting efficacy and decrease parental stress among adults with cancer who have children aged 3-12 years. The intervention will be suitable for parents with cancer who are receiving treatment with a view to longer term survival, irrespective of cancer diagnosis, and their respective co-parents. Methods/design: This study comprises two phases using the UK Medical Research Council framework for developing complex interventions. In the development phase, intervention content will be iteratively developed and evaluated in consultation with consumers, and in the piloting phase, feasibility will be tested in a clinical sample of 20 parents with cancer and their co-parents using a single arm, pre-test post-test design. The intervention will comprise an audiovisual resource (DVD), a question prompt list, and a telephone call with a clinical psychologist. Questionnaires administered pre- and 1 month post-intervention will assess parental stress, psychological morbidity, quality of life, self-efficacy and perceptions of child adjustment, and family functioning. Intervention feasibility will be determined by mixed-method participant evaluation of perceived usefulness, benefits, and acceptability. Discussion: This new initiative will translate existing descriptive evidence into an accessible intervention that supports parenting during cancer treatment and meets the information needs of parents with cancer and their families. This is an important advance: despite increasing recognition of the impact of parental cancer on the family, intervention research lags behind the descriptive literature. This low-intensity, accessible, and targeted intervention places minimal burden on infrastructure and promotes patient autonomy and self-management. If feasible, this style of intervention may be a template for future interventions with similar populations.

Subjects: subject: Physical Geography.

description: Active layer detachments on the Fosheim Peninsula have been assumed to develop over periods of minutes to a few hours. This assumption played an integral role in the understanding of relationships between active layer detachment deposit morphology, morphometry and sedimentology and active layer detachment dynamics. Field observations of two failures at 'Big Slide Creek' on the Fosheim Peninsula in August 2005 showed that while one failure conformed to the pre-existing assumption of near-instantaneous formation, movement and cessation of movement, the other failure did not and exhibited progressive expansion over several days. Several active layer detachments known to have initiated in 2005 were visited in 2006 to assess whether active layer detachments known to have failed via a prolonged mode display surficial and internal morphological characteristics that are unique from active layer detachments known to have failed via a near-instantaneous mode and to evaluate the ability of the infinite slope model to adequately predict slope stability. Results have indicated that active layer detachments known to have failed via a prolonged mode display a number of surficial and internal morphological characteristics that differ from those at active layer detachments known to have failed via a near-instantaneous mode. Based on Factor of Safety calculations, peak effective stress stability analysis indicates that Fosheim Peninsula slopes should be stable if pore-water pressures are not artesian, whereas residual effective stress stability analysis indicates that slopes greater than 6° on the Fosheim Peninsula are unstable even if pore water pressures are not artesian. Sensitivity analyses indicates that under peak conditions, Factors of Safety on Fosheim Peninsula slopes are most sensitive to changes in cohesion while under residual conditions, slope instability is related to increases in both slope angle and head of water above the slip plane.

Chemical-genetic profiling of platelet-activating factor in yeast

description: The basic biological processes between the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammals are highly conserved. Yeast posses many genes that are implicated in human diseases and have been successfully used as a model for the study of neurodegeneration. Platelet-Activating Factor (C16:0 PAF) causes neuronal cell death independent of its receptor and has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease. I hypothesized that yeast could be used as a model system for deciphering PAF receptor-independent signalling and have utilized genome-wide chemical genomic screening in yeast to further characterize the molecular mechanism of PAF toxicity. Two complementary screens implicate PAF in many cellular processes, some of which parallel results obtained in mammalian studies. I have found that PAF challenge is cytotoxic, delays cell cycle progression, and affects actin stability leading to spindle misorientation and bi-nucleate mother cells.

description: Iron-overload disorders owing to genetic misregulation of iron acquisition are referred to as hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). The most prevalent genetic iron overload disorder in Caucasians is caused by mutations in the HFE gene, an atypical MHC class I molecule. Recent studies classified HFE/Hfe-HH as a liver disease with the primarily failure in the production of the liver iron hormone hepcidin in hepatocytes. Inadequate hepcidin expression signals for excessive iron absorption from the diet and iron deposition in tissues causing multiple organ damage and failure. This review focuses on the molecular actions of the HFE/Hfe and hepcidin in maintaining systemic iron homeostasis and approaches undertaken so far to combat iron overload in HFE/Hfe-HH. In the light of the recent investigations, novel roles of extra-hepatocytic Hfe are discussed raising a question to the relevance of the multipurpose functions of Hfe for the understanding of HH-associated pathologies.
La campagne antisémite d'Adrien Arcand d'après-guerre: 1945 a 1967

description: Adrien Arcand a été le principal porte-voix de l'antisémitisme au Canada durant l'entre-deux-guerres. Si son discours a trouvé écho au Canada français, il a eu aussi des retentissements au Canada anglais, aux États-Unis et en Europe. Adrien Arcand a puise son antisémitisme dans la judéophobie catholique qu'a perpétuée à travers les siècles l'aile radicale du catholicisme selon laquelle les Juifs conspiraient pour dominer le monde et détruire les bases de l'Église catholique romaine. Ces théories issues du Moyen Âge ont été reprises dans des écrits antisémites, tels que les Protocoles des Sages de Sion, qui ont circulé en Europe à partir de la fin du XIXe siècle, et que Arcand s'est évertué à diffuser sur tous les continents jusque dans les années 1960. En 1945, la guerre est terminée. Aux yeux des autorités canadiennes, Adrien Arcand ne constitue plus une menace pour la sécurité nationale. Avec l'affaire Gouzenko et la Guerre froide, le danger du communisme retient toute l'attention. Adrien Arcand profite de l'occasion pour enfourcher le cheval de la lutte anticommuniste qui lui sert de véhicule pour ses diatribes antisémites. Si le Parti de l'Unité nationale du Canada a connu ses années de gloire en 1938 et en 1939, son mouvement a connu un succès mitigé dans le Canada français de l'après-guerre. Les échecs politiques d'Arcand sur la scène fédérale dans les années 1950 en sont la plus belle illustration. Néanmoins, en épousant la cause anticommuniste, les idées d'Arcand ont rejoint un certain nombre d'adeptes au pays dans les années 1950 et 1960 et son influence sur la scène mondiale a eu un impact sur la naissance de courants antisémites, tel que le négationnisme, notamment avec le Germano-Canadien Ernest Zundel qui considérait Adrien Arcand comme son mentor. Jusqu'à sa mort en 1967, Adrien Arcand a tenté de prouver l'authenticité des théories d'un complot de domination mondiale des Juifs, nie la Shoah et accuse les Juifs de crimes de guerre contre les Palestiniens lors de la création de l'État d'Israël en 1948. Adrien Arcand est décédé en 1967 quelques mois à peine après que le Vatican eut nié toute responsabilité au peuple juif dans la mort du Christ. Malgré cette réparation historique, le discours haineux d'Arcand a survécu à l'homme par le biais de ses héritiers de la section québécoise du Parti de l'Unité nationale du Canada qui ont continué à publier ses discours et ses écrits jusqu'à l'aube du XXIe siècle.

description: Machine learning models for classification and segmentation typically use loss functions based on binary or categorical cross entropy (BCE/CCE). Recent work has pointed out that cross entropy is not always optimal for maximizing accuracy of classification models. Instead, power error loss has been suggested as a generalization of BCE employing a power error exponent parameter q that can be adapted to output error distributions. In this paper we apply the power error loss to classification and segmentation using Convolutional Neural Network and a variant of DeepLabV3+. In line with previous findings, classification and segmentation performance can be improved significantly by using an appropriate fixed q. While previous works have found improvements mainly for q>1, here we report also cases where optimal q is <1. Moreover, we show that an adaptive approach where q is large at the beginning and decreases during training can further improve learning performance.
A linear-time algorithm to compute the conjugate of convex piecewise linear-quadratic bivariate functions.
Creators: name: Haque, Tasnuva
name: Lucet, Yves
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2019

description: We propose the first algorithm to compute the conjugate of a bivariate Piecewise Linear-Quadratic (PLQ) function in optimal linear worst-case time complexity. The key step is to use a planar graph, called the entity graph, not only to represent the entities (vertex, edge, or face) of the domain of a PLQ function but most importantly to record adjacent entities. We traverse the graph using breadth-first search to compute the conjugate of each entity using graph-matrix calculus, and use the adjacency information to create the output data structure in linear time.

Spatial vision meets spatial cognition: Examining the effect of visual blur on human navigation perfomance
Creators: name: Therrien, Megan E

subject: Psychology, Experimental.

description: Navigation is a task that involves processing two-dimensional light patterns on the retinas to obtain knowledge about how to move through a three-dimensional environment. Therefore, modifying the basic characteristics of the two-dimensional information provided to navigators should have important and informative effects on how they form their representations of the environment. Despite this, few basic research studies have examined the effects of systematically modifying the available levels of spatial visual detail on mobility performance. In this study we tested the effects of a range of visual blur levels---approximately equivalent to various degrees of low-pass spatial frequency filtering---on participants" route learning performance using desktop virtual renderings of the Hebb-Williams mazes. Our findings show that the function of blur and time to finish the mazes follows a sigmoidal pattern, with the inflection point around +2 diopters of blur. This suggests that visually guided route learning is fairly robust to blur, with the threshold level being just above the limit for legal blindness. These findings have implications for models of route learning, as well as for practical situations in which humans must navigate under conditions of blur.

The cloning and characterization of a human insulin autoantibody in Type I diabetes mellitus.
Creators: name: Yurack, Mimi L.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Insulin autoantibodies (IAA) are, by definition, present in an individual who has not received exogenous insulin. The objectives of this project were: (1) to obtain monoclonal IAA-secreting cell lines, (2) to clone and characterize by sequence analysis the variable regions of the light and heavy chains (V$\sb{\rm L}$ and V$\sb{\rm H})$ of a human monoclonal IAA, and (3) to determine the degree of restriction of the V$\sb{\rm L}$ and the V$\sb{\rm H}$ gene usage at the onset of Type I DM. Type I DM patients seropositive for IAA were identified using a competitive insulin autoantibody assay. Their lymphocytes were isolated, immortalized with Epstein-Barr Virus and cloned. Two monoclonal insulin antibody-secreting cell lines were obtained: (1) 1-0.5G1 was obtained from a Type I DM patient treated with exogenous human insulin, and (2) 3-0.5F10 was obtained from a non-insulin treated Type I DM patient; the monoclonal antibody secreted by 3-0.5F10 is therefore an IAA. The V$\sb{\rm L}$ and V$\sb{\rm H}$ cDNAs of the monoclonal IAA secreted by the 3-0.5F10 cell line were cloned and sequenced. The genes were assigned to well defined germ-line elements, the influence of somatic hypermutation in the clonal evolution of IAA was evaluated and the sequences were compared with other antibody sequences. PCR amplification using IAA V$\sb{\rm H}$ and V$\sb{\rm L}$ specific primers followed by Southern analysis using IAA specific probes was performed. All of the Type I DM patients studied at the time of diagnosis had B lymphocytes which were producing antibodies with IAA-homologous V$\sb{\rm L}$ and V$\sb{\rm H}.$ Thus, the usage of IAA-homologous V$\sb{\rm L}$ and V$\sb{\rm H}$ elements in antibodies was found to be restricted in Type I DM patients at the time of diagnosis.
Disordered gaming, loneliness, and family harmony in gamers before and during the COVID-19 pandemic

description: The aim of this study was to investigate if and how disordered gaming, loneliness, and family relations have changed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic (from 2019 to 2021), and whether there were any changes in the association between these variables across three samples of gamers (for each respective year). Samples from 2019, 2020, and 2021 were matched by using propensity score matching across socio-demographic characteristics. The total effective sample comprised 897 gamers (N = 299 per year). These samples were compared in terms of disordered gaming – separately as Gaming Disorder (GD; WHO framework) and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD; APA framework), loneliness, and family harmony scores with analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs), with age and gender as covariates. Steiger tests were used for correlation differences testing. ANCOVAs showed that while GD and IGD scores have increased significantly during the pandemic years, loneliness and family harmony did not change significantly. Furthermore, the correlation differences tests indicated that the correlations between both IGD and GD with loneliness as well as poorer family harmony have increased during the pandemic years. This study provides empirical evidence that the well-being of gamers might have been negatively affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. While loneliness and family harmony did not increase, the stronger correlations between Gaming Disorder and other variables might suggest that gaming may have been used to cope with loneliness and poorer family harmony.
Computation of the epsilon-subdifferential of convex piecewise linear-quadratic functions in optimal worst-case time
Creators: name: Deepak, Kumar
name: Lucet, Yves
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2019

description: The epsilon-subdifferential of convex univariate piecewise linear-quadratic (PLQ) functions can be computed in linear worst-case time complexity as the level-set of a convex function. Using binary search, we improve the complexity to logarithmic worst-case time, and prove such complexity is optimal. In addition, a new algorithm to compute the entire graph of the epsilon-subdifferential in (optimal) linear time is presented. Both algorithms are not limited to convex PLQ functions but are also applicable to any convex piecewise-defined functions with little restrictions.
