description: An accelerating electric charge coupled to its own electromagnetic (EM) field both emits radiation and experiences the radiation's reaction as a (self-)force. Considering the system from an Effective Field Theory perspective, and using the physical initial conditions of no incoming radiation can help resolve many of the problems associated with the often considered "notorious" Abraham-Lorentz / Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equations.

Structure and Activity Study of IRW on Improving Insulin Sensitivity
Creators: Jiang, Xu
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Metabolic syndrome, a major public health challenge, is identified as a collection of impaired glucose metabolism, central obesity, elevated blood pressure and dyslipidemia. It is estimated that approximately 25% of the world’s population has metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance, a pathologic state in which target cells fail to respond to normal levels of circulating insulin, is a common feature of most types of metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes.

Food protein derived bioactive peptides have attracted extensive attention during the past decades and have great potential for the development of functional foods and/or nutraceuticals for the management and prevention of metabolic syndrome. IRW (Ile-Arg-Trp) was initially identified as an inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) from egg white protein ovotransferrin. For the past decade, our research group found various activities of IRW. However, the structural requirements of IRW especially which amino acid of IRW is the most important is unknown.

Two dipeptides, IR and RW, three amino acids, I, R and W, as well as eight tripeptides, ARW, IAW, IRA, IWR, RIW, RWI, WIR, and WRI were designed to understand the structure and activity relationship of IRW.

Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced insulin resistant skeletal muscle L6 cell was applied for the study, and IRW was used as the positive control. Among the tested peptides and amino acids, only IRA and IR showed comparable effects as that of IRW: enhanced glucose uptake, improvement in the impaired insulin signaling pathway and increased glucose transporter protein 4 (GLUT4) translocation in TNF-α treated L6 myotubes. This result demonstrated that C-terminal W is not essential to the activity of IRW.

Next, we studied the bioactivity of IR and IRA in a high-fat diet (HFD) induced insulin resistant mouse model, IRW was included as a positive control. Both IRA and IR improved fasting and decreased fasting insulin in HFD induced glucose intolerance mice. While both IRA and IR increased Akt phosphorylation and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) abundance in skeletal muscle, only IRA significantly enhanced phosphorylation of 5’ AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Our study also showed a reduced local renin angiotensin system (RAS) activity by peptide treatment, but only IR increased mas-receptor (Mas-R) level in skeletal muscle. Our animal study supports the cell experiment’s conclusion that C-terminal residue W of IRW is not essential for the activity of IRW, but the mechanisms of action by these two peptides are different.

This thesis supports that the C-terminal residue, W, of IRW is dispensable for regulating the activity of IRW. This result help us to understand the structure and activity relationship of IRW.

description: Birth weight within the normal range is associated with a variety of adult-onset diseases, but the mechanisms behind these associations are poorly understood1. Previous genome-wide association studies identified a variant in the ADCY5 gene associated both with birth weight and type 2 diabetes, and a second variant, near CCNL1, with no obvious link to adult traits2. In an expanded genome-wide association meta-analysis and follow-up study (up to 69,308 individuals of European descent from 43 studies), we have now extended the number of genome-wide significant loci to seven, accounting for a similar proportion of variance to maternal smoking. Five of the loci are known to be associated with other phenotypes: ADCY5 and CDKAL1 with type 2 diabetes; ADRB1 with adult blood pressure; and HMGA2 and LCORL with adult height. Our findings highlight genetic links between fetal growth and postnatal growth and metabolism.
Automatic Manufacturability Evaluation and Process Planning for Cross-Laminated Timber
Creators: Martinez Villanueva, Emanuel
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The construction industry has constantly been researching and looking forimprovements, and off-site construction has been one of the leading areas due to itsadvantages in controlled stations. A common material in off-site construction has beenCross-Laminated Timber (CLT) due to its sustainability, and programs like BIM nowinclude this option for the developers. However, there is a lack of manufacturabilityfeedback in the BIM model, and domain experts must be involved to define themachining and process planning. Therefore, this research develops in the machiningautomation of Cross-Laminated Timber in a robotic cell and target-path planning. Frist,an analysis is implemented to understand the areas of opportunity for manufacturingfor CLT. The analysis was scientometric, comparing two research fields, constructionin CLT and Industry 4.0. This review found two gaps: a digital twin or machiningstation for CLT and the automation of its programing. Second, once the need for adigital twin or machining station was found, its development was implemented in avirtual station based in RobotStudio. This machining cell makes use of industrial robotswith an additional external axis and a flexible clamping station. This station is validatedvirtually with a CLT panel as a case study where its programming is done manually.Finally, as the station is ready to accept the programming for the machining of CLTpanels, a target-path planning algorithm was developed. This algorithm processes theentire case study CLT panel and automatically detects the primitive geometries withthe need for machining. Depending on the geometry and dimension, the algorithmcreates a sequence of targets and assigns the robot and tool required for its machining.

description: We describe initial steps for interrogating whole genome sequence (WGS) data to characterize the genetic architecture of a complex trait, such as high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). We estimate that common variation contributes more to HDL-C heritability than rare variation, and screening for Mendelian dyslipidemia variants identified individuals with extreme HDL-C. WGS analyses highlight the value of regulatory and non-protein coding regions of the genome in addition to protein coding regions.

description: Inflammasomes are innate immune sensors that respond to pathogen and damage-associated signals with caspase-1 activation, IL-1β and IL-18 secretion, and macrophage pyroptosis. The discovery that dominant gain-of-function mutations in NLRP3 cause the Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) and trigger spontaneous inflammasome activation and IL-1β oversecretion, led to successful treatment with IL-1 blocking agents1. Herein, we report a de novo missense mutation, c.1009A>T, p.Thr337Ser, in the nucleotide-binding domain of inflammasome component NLRC4 (IPAF/CARD12) that causes early-onset recurrent fever flares and Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS). Functional analyses demonstrated spontaneous inflammasome formation and production of the inflammasome-dependent cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, the latter exceeding levels in CAPS. The NLRC4 mutation caused constitutive caspase-1 cleavage in transduced cells and increased production of IL-18 by both patient and NLRC4 mutant macrophages. Thus, we describe a novel monoallelic inflammasome defect that expands the monogenic autoinflammatory disease spectrum to include MAS and suggests novel targets for therapy.

description: Elector Johann Georg II of Saxony (r. 1656-1680) is primarily remembered today for his cultivation of elaborate court festivals and a lavish musical life at the Dresden court throughout his twenty-four-year reign. He played an important role in the development of sacred music in seventeenth-century Germany and privileged music in the modern Italian style. This article tells about the efforts of Saxon Prince Johann Georg II in establishing a musical ensemble between 1637 and 1651, hampered by the 30 Years‘ War (1618-1648).

description: We determine the decay rate to leptons of the ground-state $Υ$ meson and its first radial excitation in lattice QCD for the first time. We use radiatively-improved NRQCD for the $b$ quarks and include $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the sea with $u/d$ masses down to their physical values. We find $Γ(Υ\rightarrow e^+e^-)$ = 1.19(11) keV and $Γ(Υ^{\prime} \rightarrow e^+e^-)$ = 0.69(9) keV, both in good agreement with experiment. The decay constants we obtain are included in a summary plot of meson decay constants from lattice QCD given in the Conclusions. We also test time-moments of the vector current-current correlator against values determined from the $b$ quark contribution to $σ(e^+e^- \rightarrow \mathrm{hadrons})$ and calculate the $b$-quark piece of the hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_μ^b = 0.271(37) \times 10^{-10}$. Finally we determine the $b$-quark mass, obtaining in the $\overline{MS}$ scheme, $\overline{m}_b(\overline{m}_b, n_f=5)$ = 4.196(23) GeV, the most accurate result from lattice QCD to date.

description: Der norddeutsche Theologe und Komponist Christian Druhl (nachweisbar zwischen 1635 und 1661, zuletzt als Pastor in Kellinghusen bei Itzehoe) legt in den Geistlichen Konzerten seiner 'Psalmodia Davidico-Ecclesiastica' von 1650 für die ersten 10 Psalmen 29 Kompositionen vor, also 2-4 Kompositionen je Psalm. Jeweils einer von ihnen liegt ein Ausschnitt biblischer Prosa zugrunde, den übrigen jeweils eine Einzelstrophe aus Psalmdichtungen (Ambrosius Lobwasser, Martin Opitz, Bartholomäus Ringwald) mit deren zugehörigen Melodien oder mit deren Satzverbund (Cornelius Becker/ Heinrich Schütz). Druhl unterscheidet die Satztypen als 'Concerte' (Bibelwort) und 'Madrigale' (Aufbereitung der Einzelstrophen aus Psalmdichtungen). Er leistet damit einen eigenständigen Beitrag zur zeitgenössischen Gattungsdifferenzierung unmittelbar vor Caspar Zieglers Madrigalabhandlung und im Umfeld sowohl der Dichtungsreformen durch Johann Rist als auch der Herausbildung des Prinzips 'Concerto cum aria'.

description: Elucidating the molecular drivers of human breast cancers requires a strategy capable of integrating multiple forms of data and an ability to interpret the functional consequences of a given genetic aberration. Here we present an integrated genomic strategy based on the use of gene expression signatures of oncogenic pathway activity (n=52) as a framework to analyze DNA copy number alterations in combination with data from a genome-wide RNAi screen. We identify specific DNA amplifications, and importantly, essential genes within these amplicons representing key genetic drivers, including known and novel regulators of oncogenesis. The genes identified include eight that are essential for cell proliferation (FGD5, METTL6, CPT1A, DTX3, MRPS23, EIF2S2, EIF6 and SLC2A10) and are uniquely amplified in patients with highly proliferative luminal breast tumors, a clinical subset of patients for which few therapeutic options are effective. Our results demonstrate that this general strategy has the potential to identify putative therapeutic targets within amplicons through an integrated use of genetic, genomic, and genome-wide RNAi data sets.

description: Using genome-wide data from 253,288 individuals, we identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explain one-fifth of heritability for adult height. By testing different numbers of variants in independent studies, we show that the most strongly associated ~2,000, ~3,700 and ~9,500 SNPs explained ~21%, ~24% and ~29% of phenotypic variance. Furthermore, all common variants together captured the majority (60%) of heritability. The 697 variants clustered in 423 loci enriched for genes, pathways, and tissue-types known to be involved in growth and together implicated genes and pathways not highlighted in earlier efforts, such as signaling by fibroblast growth factors, WNT/beta-catenin, and chondroitin sulfate-related genes. We identified several genes and pathways not previously connected with human skeletal growth, including mTOR, osteoglycin and binding of hyaluronic acid. Our results indicate a genetic architecture for human height that is characterized by a very large but finite number (thousands) of causal variants.
Revealing Gambling's Grey Literature
Creators: Baxter, David
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Governments that have legalized gambling bring in billions of dollars in revenue from this risky, harmful product, and direct a small fraction of that revenue to gambling research intended to help mitigate those harms. Most of this research is published as grey literature. I ask the following questions in three chapters: Does gambling grey literature cover topics that best help minimize harm? Is gambling grey literature reused? And is gambling grey literature rigorous?Chapter One is a systematic mapping review of 1,189 research reports from Canada and three similar countries, and reveals that governments rarely investigate the effective public health policy measures that might jeopardize gambling revenues, unless legislated to do so. Chapter Two is a citation analysis of recent gambling review articles. Despite the large body of gambling grey literature, it is underrepresented in reviews compared to other domains, and search methods fall short of best practices. Chapter Three explores gambling grey literature’s rigour through in-depth interviews with gambling researchers. We learn that gambling’s grey literature is of comparable quality to its academic publications, but also that standards of its academic publications are relatively low.In sum, gambling researchers face several barriers to producing and accessing research that will effectively prevent gambling harm and promote public health. The thesis concludes with individual- and system-level suggestions for how to improve the gambling research environment and produce higher quality research to guide ethical gambling regulation.

description: Forced vital capacity (FVC), a spirometric measure of pulmonary function, reflects lung volume and is used to diagnose and monitor lung diseases. We performed genome-wide association study meta-analysis of FVC in 52,253 individuals from 26 studies and followed up the top associations in 32,917 additional individuals of European ancestry. We found six new regions associated at genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10−8) with FVC in or near EFEMP1, BMP6, MIR-129-2/HSD17B12, PRDM11, WWOX, and KCNJ2. Two (GSTCD and PTCH1) loci previously associated with spirometric measures were related to FVC. Newly implicated regions were followed-up in samples of African American, Korean, Chinese, and Hispanic individuals. We detected transcripts for all six newly implicated genes in human lung tissue. The new loci may inform mechanisms involved in lung development and pathogenesis of restrictive lung disease.

description: Fort Sam Houston is planning an undertaking to upgrade all of the family housing units in Infantry Post. This project involves 21 single-family houses listed as Category I historic properties constructed in 1889 and 24 non-eligible duplex family housing, units constructed in 1959. These properties are located within the National Historic Landmark District. After careful review, the Public Works Cultural Resource Staff has determined that this undertaking will have no adverse effect.
Observations of Sun-Induced Chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI) and Chlorophyll:Carotenoid Index (CCI) during spring recovery in two evergreen conifers from the Boreal Forest.
Creators: Campos Valverde, Rebeca

Northern hemisphere evergreen forests assimilate a significant fraction of global atmospheric CO2. Conifers undergo winter-downregulated photosynthetic activity and spring-onset photosynthetic activation. Currently, increased temperatures are leading to shifts in photosynthetic phenology (early spring-onset, longer growing season), which has important implications in terrestrial GPP. How these species are adapting to these changes is highly uncertain. Evergreen conifer’s foliage remains green year-round, making the photosynthetic transition between spring and winter “invisible” to classical remote sensing (RS) techniques such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). However, conifers adjust their carotenoid pigment content between seasons, to modulate photosynthesis and relieve excess energy. These changes can be detected using a series of RS techniques such as the Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI), the Chlorophyll/Carotenoid Index (CCI) and the Sun induced chlorophyll fluorescence signal (SIF). To better understand the mechanisms and timing of this invisible transition, we conducted a series of leaf-scale experiments to explore the biophysical link between SIF, PRI, CCI and air temperature in two dominant conifer species: lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) and black spruce (Picea mariana), in Alberta, Canada. Our results provide strong evidence that during the spring recovery, SIF parameters, and carotenoid reflectance-based vegetation indices are closely tied to temperature changes and positively correlated with each other. We were able to track the relative-timing of the photosynthetic reactivation of both species during the spring recovery and we gained knowledge about how these two conifer species’ metrics differ slightly in kinetics. In particular, the activation of SIF emission was earlier in lodgepole pine (P. contorta) than in black spruce (P. mariana). We conclude that together these metrics are reliable optical methods for detecting spring transition across evergreen conifer tree species and can help lay the foundation for improved remote sensing methods of monitoring the changing photosynthetic activity of boreal forests. These findings are important because the boreal ecosystem is a major contributor to the global climate system. Thus, reducing uncertainties in the timing and drivers of the spring transition could generate a better understanding of how this biome is responding to a changing climate, and how it may in turn affect climate.
Der Dresdner Hofpoet Johann Seusse : eine Ergänzung zu Jörg-Ulrich Fechners Beitrag im Schütz-Jahrbuch 6 (1984)

description: Johann Seusse (1566-1631) ist als Autor deutschsprachiger Gedichte sowie einiger lateinischer Epicedien zu Werken Heinrich Schützʼ überliefert. Eine persönliche Bekanntschaft mit Schütz, den er als Komponisten in bildreichen Worten würdigte, sowie gute Kenntnisse auf dem Gebiet der Musik können vorausgesetzt werden. Seusse war außerdem mit Johannes Kepler und Martin Opitz bekannt und wirkte ab 1600 als kurfürstlicher Sekretär in Dresden; ansonsten ist über seine Biographie nur wenig bekannt. Es bedarf noch weiterer Untersuchungen von Seusses Schaffen, um feststellen zu können, inwieweit die negative Beurteilung eines seiner Gedichte durch Jörg-Ulrich Fechner auch für das sonstige deutschsprachige Schaffen des Dichters zutrifft.

An Epic Poet in the Information Age: Revisiting Haizi at the Intersection of Literature and Science in Postsocialist China
Creators: Lin, Chengxiang
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This thesis attempts to offer a new interpretation of the poet Haizi 海子 (1964-1989), with a focus on the affinity between his epic writings and the systems sciences. An iconic figure in contemporary Chinese poetry, Haizi was particularly engaged in the proliferation of epic poetry during the early postsocialist period, producing a number of ambitious works over the course of his meteoric career. Yet, despite his well-known engagement in the literary trend, Haizi’s reception of the systems sciences (e.g., cybernetics, information theory, system theory) as shown in his academic, religious, and arguably literary practices as well, have regrettably incurred little attention. These theories had a prevalent influence in early postsocialist Chinese society: they initially emerged in the scientific and engineering fields and then quickly turned into a universal approach for understanding the mechanism and structure of systems, permeating into the social sciences and humanities, as well as popular culture, like qigong 气功 cultivation. In this context, this thesis aims to articulate, with respect to Haizi’s epic writing, how technoscientific discourse and literary creation can shape each other, and what social, political, and cultural implications such interaction bears. Specifically, the first chapter examines the overall world setting of Haizi’s epic poems such as the river and the land, both of which typically stand for national civilization. While revealing the self-regulating and self-organizing nature of these settings as cybernetic systems, Haizi seems to suggest that a catastrophic change from within is needed to overcome the negative stability of a system so as to reactivate it. The second chapter associates the recurring basic natural elements in Haizi’s works such as water and fire, with qi 气, the central concept of qigong doctrines, which is identified as information by some of the so-called somatic scientists. The way Haizi deals with the basic elements reflects both his aspiration and worries in the face of the advent of information governmentalities. Lastly, the third chapter homes in on the characters dwelling in the epic settings, typically depicted as being distorted, fractured, mutilated, or stretched. Casting his notion of subjectivity on these figures, Haizi contradicts the dominant humanistic discourse of his time and heralds the rise of posthumanism in the postsocialist condition. In its reconfiguration of Haizi, this thesis recharts the spiritual topology of early postsocialist China and relocates China in the global dissemination of technoscientific discourses.
Missing Mods: An Examination of an Online Fan Community's Archiving Practices
Creators: Budac, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This project studied the practice of information sharing in the context of online communities devoted to the preservation of video game mods. My research investigates how these fan communities share and archive challenging content, and how they react to the potential and actual loss of these materials. More specifically: how do online fan communities archive the content that their members have created? How do fan communities respond to the disappearance of said content? How do these communities think of and discuss preservation? A brief overview of several sites related to the fan community surrounding Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic will be presented, and data collected from one of these sites was coded and analyzed. This examination offers a unique perspective on the practices of an online community surrounding the storage of digital content. In particular, this examination provides information on how online communities think about archiving fan-created material that is solely shared online.

description: We performed a multistage genome-wide association study (GWAS) including 7,683 individuals with pancreatic cancer and 14,397 controls of European descent. Four new loci reached genome-wide significance: rs6971499 at 7q32.3 (LINC-PINT; per-allele odds ratio [OR] = 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.74–0.84; P = 3.0×10−12), rs7190458 at 16q23.1 (BCAR1/CTRB1/CTRB2; OR = 1.46; 95% CI = 1.30–1.65; P = 1.1×10−10), rs9581943 at 13q12.2 (PDX1; OR = 1.15; 95% CI = 1.10–1.20; P = 2.4×10−9), and rs16986825 at 22q12.1 (ZNRF3; OR = 1.18; 95% CI = 1.12–1.25; P = 1.2×10−8). An independent signal was identified in exon 2 of TERT at the established region 5p15.33 (rs2736098; OR = 0.80; 95% CI = 0.76–0.85; P = 9.8×10−14). We also identified a locus at 8q24.21 (rs1561927; P = 1.3×10−7) that approached genome-wide significance located 455 kb telomeric of PVT1. Our study has identified multiple new susceptibility alleles for pancreatic cancer worthy of follow-up studies.

description: To further understanding of the genetic basis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) susceptibility, we aggregated published meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) including 26,488 cases and 83,964 controls of European, East Asian, South Asian, and Mexican and Mexican American ancestry. We observed significant excess in directional consistency of T2D risk alleles across ancestry groups, even at SNPs demonstrating only weak evidence of association. By following up the strongest signals of association from the trans-ethnic meta-analysis in an additional 21,491 cases and 55,647 controls of European ancestry, we identified seven novel T2D susceptibility loci. Furthermore, we observed considerable improvements in fine-mapping resolution of common variant association signals at several T2D susceptibility loci. These observations highlight the benefits of trans-ethnic GWAS for the discovery and characterisation of complex trait loci, and emphasize an exciting opportunity to extend insight into the genetic architecture and pathogenesis of human diseases across populations of diverse ancestry.

description: The incoherence between measurement and sparsifying transform matrices and the restricted isometry property (RIP) of measurement matrix are two of the key factors in determining the performance of compressive sensing (CS). In CS-MRI, the randomly under-sampled Fourier matrix is used as the measurement matrix and the wavelet transform is usually used as sparsifying transform matrix. However, the incoherence between the randomly under-sampled Fourier matrix and the wavelet matrix is not optimal, which can deteriorate the performance of CS-MRI. Using the mathematical result that noiselets are maximally incoherent with wavelets, this paper introduces the noiselet unitary bases as the measurement matrix to improve the incoherence and RIP in CS-MRI, and presents a method to design the pulse sequence for the noiselet encoding. This novel encoding scheme is combined with the multichannel compressive sensing (MCS) framework to take the advantage of multichannel data acquisition used in MRI scanners. An empirical RIP analysis is presented to compare the multichannel noiselet and multichannel Fourier measurement matrices in MCS. Simulations are presented in the MCS framework to compare the performance of noiselet encoding reconstructions and Fourier encoding reconstructions at different acceleration factors. The comparisons indicate that multichannel noiselet measurement matrix has better RIP than that of its Fourier counterpart, and that noiselet encoded MCS-MRI outperforms Fourier encoded MCS-MRI in preserving image resolution and can achieve higher acceleration factors. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed noiselet encoding scheme, two pulse sequences with tailored spatially selective RF excitation pulses was designed and implemented on a 3T scanner to acquire the data in the noiselet domain from a phantom and a human brain.

description: Hugo Distler war persönlich in unterschiedliche Netzwerke eingebunden, die nicht ohne Einfluss auf sein Schaffen geblieben sind. Der politische Kontext, in der sich zwar eingefügt hat, der ihm aber auch zu schaffen gemacht hat, ist dabei zu bedenken. in diesem Zusammenhang wird in diesem Beitrag von einer politischen Widerstandslegende zu reden sein, für die Distler nach 1945 benutzt worden ist und die fast vollständig auf einen hohen Kirchenbeamten der preußischen Landeskirche zurückzuführen ist.
