Subjects: Forest recovery

southern Vietnam secondary forest

description: The majority of Vietnam’s natural forest estate is classified as degraded. This is a result of a history of disturbance through wars (including the use of Agent Orange), overharvesting of timber, slash-and-burn agriculture and land clearing, for agriculture and for establishment of large-scale monoculture forest plantations. A system of classification of forest condition, and likely future development trajectories, was developed to guide sustainable management, and restoration of these secondary forests. For tropical dipterocarp forests, which dominate southeast Vietnam, disturbance history (time since disturbance and type of disturbance) and soil type are two key predictors of forest condition and recovery.
description: In this thesis I describe the varying conditions of dipterocarp-dominated forests, their pathways of development and recovery, recruitment ecology and relationships with soil and site conditions at Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve in south-eastern Vietnam. Chapter 1 reviews secondary forest ecology and dynamics, and discusses methods for tracking recovery of disturbed forests. Chapter 2 describes the multiple potential pathways of recovery for disturbed dipterocarp forests, highlighting key predictive factors (soil and site conditions). The thesis then shifts focus to determining which environmental factors are the most important drivers of dipterocarp recruitment, growth and successional pathways. To this end, Chapter 3 is an investigation of the factors which influence regeneration of the dominant species, Dipterocarpus dyeri, in our study area: soil and moisture availability are key. Chapter Four examines how tree height and diameter varies with soil and site conditions, particularly water availability. This relationship is then used to derive site productivity classes (site form) for secondary forests in Dong Nai. These productivity classes can be used to inform management, for example, allowing prioritisation of where tree planting needs to occur. Finally, in Chapter 5 the main findings of the thesis are synthesised, their applications are discussed alongside avenues for extending this research.
description: To facilitate publication of the thesis, Chapters 2, 3 and 4 are written as manuscripts for peer reviewed journals. Since multiple authors contributed data and supervisory support, I use the pronoun "we" rather than "I", and the contributions of each author is described at the end of each of these chapters. At the time of submission, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 have been published and Chapter 4 has been accepted (23/09/2021) by the journal Forestry.

description: The element that links skeptron (“sceptre”)and rabdon (“cane”) in Greek tradition is the authority devolving to the one who holds it, as he becomes an intermediary between the human and divine worlds, the spokesperson of the divinity with the double significance of poet and judge. Sometimes episodes of myth confuse the particular elements of the two semantic areas in which the “cane” has a key role, thereby broadening the semantic scope of the scene. Two examples: the scepter instead of the lyre is given to Hesiod by the Muses (Theogony, lines 30 ff) and enables him to “eternalize the past and the future”, but also makes himself equal to the basileis, whose objectivity and judgment he challenges; the cane instead of the scepter is what Apollo gives to Hermes in exchange for the lyre (Hymn to Hermes, lines 528 ff.), so that legislative capabilities and poetic – musical competences reinforce the importance of the object precisely through their coexistence.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: The dramatic development of the commercial markets for wireless communication products leads to an increasing need for accurate and fast models of RF and microwave components and circuits. The traditional modeling approaches have the disadvantage of being either expensive or time-consuming. Although the basic artificial neural network as a fast and accurate modeling approach has been applied in diverse situations, the use of knowledge-aided neural networks is quite new. In this thesis, we focus on the development of a neural-based computer aided design (CAD) tool for the general Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLP) neural network, the Knowledge-Based Neural Network (KBNN), and the Prior Knowledge Input (PKI) neural network. KBNN and PKI were used, for the first time in this thesis, in the modeling of a mixer and multistage amplifiers. Since in the RF and microwave field, the training data are usually obtained from measurements or simulations, which are either expensive in data generation or CPU time consuming, such applications of knowledge-aided neural networks (KBNN and PKI) have been proved to be capable of reducing the need for a large number of training data, and improving the accuracy and efficiency as well.

description: A mathematical equation, just a string of symbols scribbled on a page, can be more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Newton’s equations of motion took us to the moon. Schrodinger’s equation, the foundation of quantum mechanics describes the chemical properties of everything around you. These equations are so useful because they are tools for making incredibly accurate predictions, leading to some of the greatest achievements of human kind. Unfortunately though, in many complex situations solving these equations is too hard. For instance, we would like to predict whether or not two molecules dissolved in water will bind together, but using Schrodinger’s equation to do this can be beyond the powers of even the hugest supercomputer.

Das Verbundprojekt INGER hat zum Ziel, innovative Methoden für eine geschlechtersensible quantitative Forschung zu umweltbezogener Gesundheit interdisziplinär zu entwickeln und zu erproben. Neue Fragebogenmodule werden getestet, um die Datenerhebung in populationsbasierten Studien zu umweltbezogener Gesundheit durch umfassende Erhebung von Sex/Gender-Dimensionen entsprechend gendertheoretischer Konzepte zu verbessern. Zur Quantifizierung der Bedeutung von Sex/Gender für Umweltexpositionen und umweltbezogene Gesundheit werden neue statistische Analysestrategien identifiziert und erprobt. INGER wird eine fundierte Wissensbasis schaffen als Grundlage für eine bessere Berücksichtigung von Sex/Gender-Aspekten im umweltbezogenen Gesundheitsschutz und in der Gesundheitsförderung im Bereich Umwelt und Gesundheit.

description: Up to now, gender with its diverse biological and social aspects is not adequately integrated in biomedical research and practice of environmental health. The aim of the collaborative research project INGER is to develop innovative methods for gender-sensitive data collection and data analyses in population-based studies on environmental health to be able to analyse the impacts of sex/gender. New questionnaire modules for improving data collection in population-based studies to comprehensively assess sex/gender dimensions according to gender theoretical concepts will be developed and tested. Newly collected and already available data from population-based studies will be used to identify methodological approaches of multivariable data analyses which are adequate to quantify sex/gender impacts on environmental exposures and health outcomes. Thus INGER will build a sound evidence basis for gender-sensitive prevention and environmental health protection.

The effect of water composition on the air stripping of volatile organic compounds from groundwater.
Creators: name: Loewen, Michael J.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of water composition on the air stripping of volatile organic compounds (VOC) using a countercurrent packed column. Henry's Law constants were determined for various VOC of environmental significance: CH$\sb2$=CCl$\sb2$; CH$\sb3$CHCl$\sb2$; CHCl$\sb3$; ClCH$\sb2$CH$\sb2$Cl; CH$\sb3$CCl$\sb3$; CCl$\sb4$; CCl$\sb2$=CHCl; C$\sb6$H$\sb6$; CHBr$\sb3$; and C$\sb6$H$\sb5$CH$\sb3$. The experimental technique consisted of the multiple equilibration of an aqueous solution with the measurement of the liquid-phase VOC concentration. The mass transfer experiments were performed to establish the effect of liquid and gas flow rates, conductivity and packing type on the air stripping of VOC and to evaluate the various mass transfer correlations available. The experiments were conducted using a four-factor, three-level fractional factorial design consisting of 27 runs (Bacon, 1970). The factorial analysis was performed by a SAS general linear regression analysis. The equilibria studies indicated that the Henry's Law constants increase by approximately 30 to 40% with every 10$\sp\circ$C change in temperature and decrease approximately 5 to 15% with every 1000 $\mu$mho/cm change in conductivity. SAS analysis of the equilibria runs showed that temperature was highly significant and conductivity was only slightly significant in the determination of H$\sb{\rm C}$. The mass transfer studies indicated that the Onda et al. correlation gave the best prediction of K$\sb{\rm L}$a for VOC (SEE = $\pm$3.6%) of the correlations studied. The mass transfer studies indicated that KLa decreased by approximately 3 to 5% with every 1000 $\mu$mho/cm change in conductivity. SAS analysis of the mass transfer experiments indicated that the liquid flow rate was a highly significant factors in the determination of K$\sb{\rm L}$a and to a lesser degree conductivity and packing porosity while K$\sb{\rm L}$a is not significantly affected by changes in the gas flow rate.

Optimization of an in-house bacterial cell-free expression system to evaluate the design of toehold switch sensors for selected cervical precancer miRNA biomarkers

description: Cervical cancer is a significant health burden for women across the globe. However, over 94% of all cervical deaths occured in low and middle income countries (LMICs) in 2022 alone. This reflects a broader trend of a lack of access to quality treatment options for cervical cancer due to socioeconomic barriers including limited trained professionals, financial resources, and access to proper screening. We are partnering with UMaryland iGEM, an undergradutate-led synthetic biology research team, to assist in the development of a low-cost, point-of-care screening device for detecting commonly upregulated miRNAs in cervical precancer patients to address this issue. The functionality of this device relies on a cell-free expression kit, referred to as a lysate, in order to properly transcribe the desired toehold switches in the paper-based assay and translate the fluorescent protein output. However, common commercial cell-free lysates are expensive which increases the cost of producing our device – ultimately hindering its accessibility in LMICs. To address this problem, we propose a method for producing and optimizing our own in-house cell-free lysate. In our method, we compare three lysates – commercially available myTXTL, a lysate developed by the Aberdeen Proving Ground, and our own lysate – using varying ratios of energy mix, lysate, and T7p14 deGFP HP plasmid to evaluate the ideal composition of these components for a cell-free expression kit. We quantify these relationships using fluorescence in order to determine the efficacy of our lysate and the ideal ratio of components for a cell-free, paper-based assay.

A Novel Non-Apoptotic Role for Caspase Activity during Cardiac Hypertrophy

Cardiac hypertrophy

description: Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response in which the heart grows to normalize output during times of increased demand. This increase in size originates from the growth of cardiomyocytes rather than cellular division. Many cellular modifications observed during hypertrophy are reminiscent of apoptosis; caspase proteases, traditionally known for their role in apoptosis, have recently been implicated in non-apoptotic settings including cardiac differentiation. Studies have reported caspase-3 inhibition limits the heart`s ability to undergo pathological hypertrophy in vivo. Data presented here indicate that inhibition of caspase-3 and caspase-8 minimizes hypertrophic growth in primary cardiomyocytes. Phenylephrine induced an increase in cell size, which was attenuated upon addition of caspase inhibitors. These data suggest these proteins may be involved in hypertrophic growth of cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, results suggest that increased caspase activity may not be directly responsible for this effect. Rather, subcellular localization of caspase proteases may contribute to the effects seen during hypertrophy.
The eIF4E2-Mediated Hypoxic Protein Synthesis Complex Permits Tumourigenesis in Several Genetically Distinct Cancers

description: Identifying exploitable differences between cancer cells and normal cells has been ongoing since the dawn of cancer therapeutics. This task has proven difficult due to the complex genetic makeup of cancers. Tumours, however, share a low oxygen (hypoxic) microenvironment that selects for malignant cancer cells. It has recently been shown that cells switch from eIF4E to eIF4E2-mediated protein synthesis during periods of hypoxia, similar to those found in tumour cores. We hypothesize that this hypoxic translation complex is required for cell survival in hypoxia and can be targeted by inhibiting the eIF4E2 cap-binding protein. Here, we show that genetically diverse cancer cells require the cap-binding protein eIF4E2 for their growth, proliferation, and resistance to apoptosis in hypoxia, but not in normoxia. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo eIF4E2-depleted tumour models cannot grow or sustain hypoxic regions without the reintroduction of exogenous eIF4E2. Thus, tumour cells could be targeted over somatic cells by selectively inhibiting their protein synthesis machinery, much like the function of antibiotics that revolutionized medicine.
Online versus postal data collection methods: an examination of issues and a comparison of results

description: New communications technologies often allow new ways of conducting market research. Determining the advantages of a new data collection method over established alternatives is difficult without thorough comparative testing. Computer-mediated marketing research is one such example of a new technology that has been enthusiastically embraced by marketing organisations and those servicing them. While researchers using the Internet (Net) and World Wide Web (Web) in its early years reported benefits such as high response levels, there is little in the way of comparative evidence to support any claimed advantages. This paper reports on the outcomes of three separate studies in which members (subscribers) of various organisations have been surveyed using both postal and online (email invitation and HTML Web form) data collection methods. The conclusion here is that it would be unwise to assume that one method can be directly substituted for another and obtain the same response. Differences in both the response pattern and demographic profile of respondents between the groups are consistently noticed, such as to warrant further examination of the methods used in online marketing research, and to suggest the need for further study.

description: It's happened to all of us. You’re tired, you’re at the airport when suddenly, the dreaded announcement – your flight’s been delayed by four hours. So you head to the bookstore. You know that you should go for the Booker-prize winning novel. But it’s the literary equivalent of Weet-bix, and you’re craving the chocolate crosissant. You want the courtroom drama. You want the sci-fi fantasy. Not Meeting Right by Anita Heiss gives you both. It’s an easy, lightweight read. But don’t let that fool you. Heiss’ chick lit is unmistakably, and pointedly political – and that’s her goal: she uses chick lit to write the experience of women like her, women who are young, urban and Aboriginal, into the consciousness of mainstream, non-Aboriginal Australia.

description: Two centuries after the printing press was invented, the first scholarly journal appeared in 1665. Less than two decades after the journal went online, the digital format is reshaping scholarly communication rapidly. We are moving quickly towards an open system of scholarship, and from a Western heritage of print scholarship to a future of global knowledge, a shift driven by the communications revolution. This thesis provides data describing the size and growth of the universe of scholarship, its global reach, how much of it is accessible free of charge on the internet and the rate at which that share is growing. Open Access together with development programs aimed at reducing price barriers to subscription journals have vastly increased the possibilities for accessing research in the South. The relevance to globalization and development is explored conceptually and revealed in the results.
Organic matter and size distribution transformations during a simulated bulk phase of sewer transport

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.
subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: As wastewater is transported in a sewer system, in-sewer transformations occur that allow the sewer system to be considered as a pipeline reactor. Domestic wastewater from the local wastewater treatment facility was monitored for a 3 day period to simulate the bulk phase of sewer flow. Aerobic and anoxic reactive environments were studied to determine the change in organic matter and size distribution. Aerobic and anoxic conditions showed similar treatment of organic matter with an average of 55% of the total chemical oxygen demand (CODt) removed in 72 hours. The CODt consumption rate increased to a mean maximum of 8.4 mg/L/h a mean experiment time of 24 hours. The majority of the organic removal occurred in the first 42 hours. Aerobic conditions led to the formation of larger microbial flocs than anoxic conditions demonstrated by an increasing trend of mean area particle diameter (D a) with the mean increase 8 microns compared to a 3 micron decrease for anoxic conditions. Initial substrate and biomass quality strongly influenced the observed transformations.

Ionic mechanisms of anoxia : potential role for y-aminobutyric acid.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: When ionic changes induced by GABA (5 mM) were compared to those evoked by O2 replacement by N2 for 5 min, anoxic responses were found to be very similar in direction of change and time-course. In stratum pyramidale (SP) there were increases in [K+] o and [Cl--]o and a decrease in [Na +]o, and in stratum radiatum (SR) an increase in [K +]o and decreases in [Cl--]o and [Na+]o. Changes in SR were greater than those in SP, except for D [K+]o evoked by GABA. To estimate changes in the extracellular space (ECS), variations in [TMA+] o were recorded during GABA and N2 exposures. Volume decreases were observed with both GABA and anoxia and significantly less in SP than in SR: 5.3 +/- 0.03% and 6.2 +/- 0.8%, respectively with N2 and 4.6 +/- 0.2% and 4.8 +/- 0.3% with GABA. The ECS reduction was insufficient to account for the ionic changes observed. The GABAA receptor antagonist, BMI (bicuculline methioidide) (100 m M) reversibly attenuated all ion changes evoked by GABA and N 2. In SP BMI depressed increases in [K+]o and [CI--]o with GABA by 90%, and with N 2 by 50--60%. In SR the D [K+]o evoked by GABA was blocked, and that with anoxia was attenuated by 70%; decreases in [Cl--] o were depressed by more than 50%, and [Na+]o changes in SP and SR were decreased by 20--30%. The GABAB agonist, baclofen (10° -- 3 x 10 3 m M) evoked dose-dependent increases in [K+]o in SP and SR, with EC50 = 40 and 39 m M, respectively. The sigmoid concentration-response curves and sensitivity of responses to the GABAB antagonists, indicate a receptor-mediated increase in D [K+]o, due to an increase in gK. The similar EC50 values at the soma and dendrites suggests that their GABAB receptors are identical. The higher affinity of GABA B cf. GABAA receptors supports the possibility that an early component of anoxic-evoked K+ accumulation may be due to activation of both GABAA and GABAB receptors. The observation that [K+]o increase with N2 can be enhanced by GABAB antagonism may reflect a protectant action of GABA B receptors by decrease of glutamate release from terminals and postsynaptic hyperpolarization.

description: This thesis establishes the importance of understanding the impact of social exchange factors as predictors of resilience engineering factors for crisis and disaster non-mitigation efforts within critical infrastructure and engineering asset management organisations (CIEO). This thesis demonstrates that non-structural mitigation efforts utilising social exchange theory and resilience engineering provide useful stepping stones for CIEO engineering managers and engineering employees to mitigate process safety events in an effective and cost efficient ways. Hence the contribution of the thesis is that it incorporates the important role of management and develops and empirically tests a model for non-structural mitigation management practices using resilience engineering and social exchange theory for CIEOs.

Alfabetizzazione della Sicilia pregreca
Creators: name: Agostiniani, Luciano
Publisher: name: Aristonothos. Scritti per il Mediterraneo antico
Year: 2012

description: Il tema affrontato è quello della alfabetizzazione di due delle tre  popolazioni pregreche di Sicilia, gli Elimi e i Siculi (l’area tradizionalmente attribuita ai Sicani non ha restituito nessun documento scritto che possa motivatamente qualificarsi come anellenico). Per i primi, si rilevano  condizioni di sostanziale omogeneità nella produzione epigrafica, che rimandano all’uso scrittorio di Selinunte (vedi la stretta prossimità, e spesso l’identità, tra la struttura delle lettere impiegate qui e nei centri elimi): l’apprendimento dell’alfabeto da parte degli Elimi, dunque, non è altro che uno degli aspetti della loro acculturazione greca, che come è noto è da riportare in maniera pressoché esclusiva alla pressione di Selinunte. Resta però da motivare la presenza in documenti elimi, accanto al peculiare beta di tipo selinuntino, di un beta del tipo tradizionale, che è stato oggetto di dibattito, e di cui viene qui discusso il valore e l’origine.

Assai più complesse sono le condizioni che si rilevano nella documentazione epigrafica anellenica relativa a quella parte della Sicilia che le fonti attribuiscono ai Siculi, e cioè la parte orientale dell’Isola. Qui, il materiale epigrafico presenta, sotto il profilo della grafia, caratteri di evidente disomogeneità, che escludono l’esistenza, in passato affermata, di un “alfabeto siculo” unitario, e che rimandano, viceversa, ad una pluralità di alfabeti modello. Si configurano così tre aree diverse per usi grafici: quella costituita dal territorio intorno all’Etna, quella degli Iblei e del Dittaino, e quella dell’entroterra di Gela. La documentazione delle tre aree viene esaminata in dettaglio, si riconosce l’esistenza di una varietà alfabetica standardizzata (al Mendolito di Adrano), e si individua nel cosiddetto “alpha siculo” una sorta di “marker” grafico, caricato di valori di autoidentificazione e contrapposizione, che taglia trasversalmente le diverse tradizioni alfabetiche riscontrate.

Iscrizioni monumentali dei Siculi

description: Sicels’ Munumental Inscriptions

My survey of a range of very well-known documents, although obscure, aims at underlining their monumental aspect, that means their public function.

Firstly I consider the area of Mineo, in the nearby of Palagonia, and the tomb 15 of the Costs of S. Febronia, which is dated to the VII century (VI) BC according to the funerary typology that is typical of the Iron Age, as Laura Maniscalco has shown.

With regard to the inscriptions that are visible from the entry passage of a tomb chamber, a direct comparison can be drawn with those that belong to the Tumulus of the so-called Ginestre di Cerveteri and with the most important inscription of that group, dated to the VII century BC. Another parallel can be made with the tomb Tarquinia 6118, that can be dated to the last decades of the VII century BC. The stele has got an inscription that runs circularly and that is placed in the dromos.

Secondly, I examine two inscriptions coming from Ragusa Ibla, that were published by Paolo Orsi, two hatches of Licodia Eubea, that Libertini knew and Luciano Agostiani has studied in detail.

The Mendolito of Adrano, in particular, turns out to be worthy investigating in order to reconstruct Sicels’culture, as here, differently from other sites, we have evidences from the inhabited area, such as the cippus of Sanfilippo, the inscriptions of the door and the tiles that have been restudied by M. Cultraro, in the light of important italic comparisons.

Developmental surveillance and identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder in early childhood education settings

description: Children showing signs of autism benefit from early identification and intervention to take advantage of neuroplasticity and to ensure families are supported. Autism can be reliably detected in children at 18 months of age, however developmental surveillance practices are inconsistent in the community and many vulnerable children are not identified until school age. Early childhood education settings present an opportunity for ongoing developmental surveillance and timely referral of young children to allied health supports. A series of studies was conducted to implement and evaluate a system for identifying young children demonstrating early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder [ASD] in early childhood education and care centres by: 1) establishing the interrater reliability of early childhood education professionals [ECEPs] to identify key behavioural markers for autism in young children; 2) comparing the utility of current practices of developmental surveillance using a broadband developmental surveillance tool with the specifically targeted Social Attention and Communication Surveillance [SACS-R] tool and 3) exploring the perspectives of ECEPs on the enablers and barriers to routine implementation of developmental surveillance for autism in their practice setting.
description: Early childhood educators from regional Australian communities received training on how to monitor young children for signs of autism using the SACS-R and the Parents Evaluation of Developmental Status [PEDS] tool and implemented developmental surveillance prospectively with children in their care. Any child identified with a likelihood of ASD by key items, on either measure, were referred for comprehensive developmental assessment and early intervention services if warranted. Outcomes of developmental surveillance in early childhood education settings were compared with results from community health settings to investigate the efficacy of the tool across contexts. Interrater reliability between maternal child health nurses and early childhood education professionals was high. Early childhood education professionals were reliable in their use of the SACS-R and accuracy was found to be high across both health and early childhood settings.
description: Findings supported the role of ECEPs in the process of early identification and referral of young children who are risk for ASD. Through specific early detection practices in early childhood settings, children who are at risk for autism or other developmental challenges can be referred for specialised assessment, support and intervention at a much younger age in order to maximize developmental potential. Implications are raised for the professional development of ECEPs, practice standards and the development of access pathways to early intervention and the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Una edición modernizada y anotada de "El Palacio encantado" (Para todos, 1632), del doctor Juan Pérez de Montalbán.
Creators: name: Miñana, Rogelio.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Biography.

description: This thesis offers a modernized and annotated edition of Perez de Montalban's "El palacio encantado." This short novel was originally published in the author's miscellaneous work Para todos (1632), which includes several other pieces such as comedias, autos sacramentales, discursos, and two other novelas. This volume has not been edited since the 18th century, despite the enormous popularity that it enjoyed during the 17th century. The first part of my thesis is an introduction. In it, I offer, first, a short biography of Montalban and a succint account of his works. Next, I critically analyze the text of "El palacio encantado": its literary values, issues of verisimilitude, main characters, etc., and compare it to other contemporary short novels. The third section of my introduction explains the editorial criteria used in the present edition. Theoretical aspects regarding modernization and annotation, are discussed and illustrated with examples drawn from "El palacio encantado." Finally, I list all known editions of the Para todos, and comment on the ones I have used for my own edition. The second part of the thesis contains the edited text itself, with numerous philological footnotes. The thesis ends with a full bibliography of works cited.
The use of selected physiological parameters as indicators of polychlorinated biphenyl exposure of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss.
Creators: name: Cano, Tim.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Toxicology.

description: Hatchery reared rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were caged at two locations in the St. Lawrence river near Cornwall, Ontario. One cage was anchored in an area of high polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination, within an iron enclosure near the General Motors Foundry at Massena, N.Y. during a dredging operation designed to remove PCB contaminated sediments from the river. A second control cage was placed in the Snye channel, known to have low PCB concentrations. Hatchery fish were sampled to provide a time 0 control, and fish from each site were collected following 21 and 41 day exposure. Plasma, muscle, bone, and liver were harvested and assayed to determine muscle PCB levels, plasma cortisol, electrolyte, lactate and glucose concentrations, bone calcium, muscle water and the activity of a variety of liver enzymes. Total PCB levels were significantly higher in fish muscle from the General Motors site but few differences were found in any of the physiological parameters. Levels of bone calcium decreased in fish exposed to high PCB levels, suggesting an effect of PCBs on either the thyroid or ultimobranchial bodies. Pyruvate kinase activity in the liver of PCB exposed fish suggests a shift in energy metabolism to a greater reliance on glycogenolysis. Both parameters require further study to determine the feasibility of their use as bioindicators of PCB stress.
Culti e templi della Sicilia sud‑orientale nelle iscrizioni: Apollo e Artemide
Creators: name: Alfieri Tonini, Teresa
Publisher: name: Aristonothos. Scritti per il Mediterraneo antico
Year: 2012

description: This contribution deals with the worship of Apollo and Artemis in Siracusa and its territory in epigraphic documents, starting from the origin of the colony up to the Hellenistic-Roman era, and also its interrelations with the veneration of other non-Greek gods worshipped in South-Eastern Sicily. The links between the cult of Apollo and that of Anna are here specifically analysed as well as those between the cult of the Paides and another oracular goddess, Maie, who was deeply venerated in Siracusa’s territory, near Akrai.
  As far as Artemis is concerned, particular enphasis is put on the interpretation of an inscription relating to the cult of Artemis Pheraia in Siracusa and its connections to the two underworld goddesses Demetra and Kore, thus confirming the religious syncretism originated by the merger of different cultures.

Grecità di Sicilia: il caso defixiones. Un nuovo testo da Selinunte
Creators: name: Rocca, Giovanna
Publisher: name: Aristonothos. Scritti per il Mediterraneo antico
Year: 2012

description: The epigraphic documentation from Selinous is one of the hugest of the archaic period, together with the records from Gela and Camarina; defixiones represent a significant specimen, not only for epigraphic and linguistic aspects, but also for the light we can shed on what we can learn about the “magic” texts employed in everyday life. After a brief presentation of the characteristics regarding public and private life a new inscription from Selinous is presented and discussed.
