p600 in calcium signalling and neuronal survival
Creators: name: Belzil, Camille André

Subjects: Neuroscience

description: p600 is a large protein that is enriched in the brain and expressed in neurons. Previous work has shown a diversity of functions for p600 in several different organisms and cell types. Following a report that p600 associates with the Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM), we hypothesized that p600 was acting as a Ca2+ signalling protein in hippocampal neurons, a population of cells which is susceptible to Ca2+-induced death. We found that in the presence of Ca2+, p600 associates with CaM and the ubiquitous Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase IIα (CaMKIIα). This interaction is mediated by a direct and atypical interaction between residues 4086-4111 on p600 and CaM. Using a peptide based on this sequence to specifically block the p600/CaM interaction, we determined that this interaction is required for the survival of hippocampal neurons. This survival was found to be dependent on the Ca2+-influx through the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor during ambient culture activity. We next assessed the regulation of CaMKIIα in order to determine the mechanism by which p600 promotes neuronal survival. Under pathological conditions, namely elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and decreased intracellular pH, CaMKIIα undergoes a rapid aggregation. We therefore used this aggregation as a marker for pathological intracellular conditions. Predictably, treatment with glutamate and glycine to induce Ca2+ entry caused CaMKIIα aggregation, and depletion of p600 by RNAi sensitized neurons to this effect. Within each neuron, the amount of CaMKIIα aggregation was found to correlate significantly with the amount of fragmentation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), suggesting that p600 controls ER morphology. Using a battery of inhibitors, the aggregation of CaMKIIα was found to depend primarily on Ca2+ influx through NMDA receptors, on ER Ca2+ stores by way of inositol-3-phosphate receptors, and somewhat on influx through L-type voltage-dependent channels. The microtubule-stabilizing compound paclitaxel decreased the likelihood of CaMKIIα aggregation in directly-depolarized neurons, but not those given glutamate/glycine treatment, indicating that p600 regulates microtubule stability in response to certain sources of Ca2+ entry. In sum, these data show that p600 promotes the survival of hippocampal neurons through a novel role as a Ca2+-signalling protein.
Performance Comparison of Randomized and Deterministic Mutual Exclusion Algorithms

Subjects: Computer Science

description: Mutual exclusion is a well known in distributed computing. Mutual exclusion comes into existence when n processes try to access the Critical Section at the same time. It prevents any two processes from accessing the Critical Section simultaneously. Mutual exclusion is a standard building block for shared memory algorithms. This thesis presents the performance comparison of various Randomized and Deterministic mutual exclusion algorithms. The performance of these algorithms is compared in the same environment and using the same platform. To perform these comparison tests, time taken by processes to execute mutual exclusion algorithms is measured in isolation, and in data structures (implemented based on mutual exclusion algorithms). Diff erent test cases have been considered to gain some insight about how diff erent algorithms behave under diff erent levels of contention. These test cases involve various combinations of insertion, deletion and look-up operations. From this comparison tests, we gain some insight about which mutual exclusion algorithms are most resilient to contention. We can use this knowledge while doing concurrent programming. We can choose our mutual exclusion locks based on insertions, deletions and look-ups in the concurrent programming.

description: The contact between two cultures produces numerous changes. This occurrence among the Natives of Canada has been examined by numerous authors over the years. In New France, these examinations have typically focused on the Natives and Europeans as uniform groups who made decisions solely for economic and political reasons. The Jesuits, and their efforts to make converts, has been viewed as part of this colonialist effort to make the Natives French. Focused on New France before 1650, this thesis seeks to examine the relationship between Natives and Jesuits as individuals who interacted in a spiritual world which was bounded by tradition and ritual. The Jesuits sought to use their rituals to convert the Natives but were also willing to adapt to Native customs when it was pragmatic and theologically sound. Ritual was an integral factor in the daily lives of the Natives and Jesuits and shaped the contact narrative.

description: This work explores how autobiographical stories help to reveal the influences that inform educational leadership. The five participants in this study were educational leaders committed to tackling the problem of how to expand their leadership capacity. The purpose of this research was to understand the experiences of school leaders in rural settings and how those experiences shape their practice. By using collaborative self-study methodology within an ethic of care framework, participants shared autobiographical stories of the influences of school and prior leadership experiences. Displaying trust, vulnerability, courage and integrity, they were committed to collaboration as a foundational piece in their desire to become better leaders. During focus group meetings, participants searched for common themes in an effort to uncover meaning and deepen understanding of themselves and their leadership. They also reflected deeply on the stories of success and challenge that were faced in their professional lives. The findings that emerged from this study indicate salient linkages in three areas: (1) private reflections and self-knowledge, (2) knowledge of self and leadership development, and (3) leadership development and private reflections. Those linkages created a circular feedback loop and led to five conclusions of how the power of dialogue could further self-knowledge and develop trusting relationships that improve educational leadership. The resulting four recommendations may show how leaders can grow from being independent to interdependent and may point to important ways to build leadership capacity in other settings. Key words: autobiography, self-study methodology, reflection, collaboration, educational leadership, leadership development

description: We present atomistic calculations of quantum coherent electron transport through fulleropyrrolidine terminated molecules bridging a graphene nanogap. We predict that three difficult problems in molecular electronics with single molecules may be solved by utilizing graphene contacts: (1) a back gate modulating the Fermi level in the graphene leads facilitate control of the device conductance in a transistor effect with high on/off current ratio; (2) the size mismatch between leads and molecule is avoided, in contrast to the traditional metal contacts; (3) as a consequence, distinct features in charge flow patterns throughout the device are directly detectable by scanning techniques. We show that moderate graphene edge disorder is unimportant for the transistor function.

Opening and entering the Gospel of Mark : Jesus in the house
Creators: name: Wall, Scott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Recent studies of the historical Jesus have placed greater emphasis on the spaces and places that were the context for the New Testament Gospels. This study adopts such an emphasis by exploring the ‘dominant architectural marker’ in Mark’s gospel: the house. An investigation of the archaeology, anthropology, and social environment of 1st-century Palestine is used to examine the boundaries present in that society. By utilizing the theories of ‘liminality’ as conceived by Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner, this thesis hypothesizes that the thresholds of houses in Mark’s gospel represent the powerful social boundaries present in Palestine at the time of Jesus. Thus, when the Gospel frequently depicts Jesus opening or entering ‘houses’, it shows that he is superseding these boundaries, and sacralizing and purifying the space. A study of 1st-century houses in Palestine reveals that they were bounded spaces, evidenced in ‘closed’ archaeological forms and social purity regulations. Mark’s depiction of ‘gatherings’ around Jesus reveals the dynamics of social boundaries by examining ‘who’ was typically allowed to assemble in a house. A detailed investigation of several Markan passages shows that Jesus disregards these boundaries by allowing ‘outsiders’ access to the house. It is concluded that passage through a door or over a threshold represents a bridging of ‘different or opposing categories’, showing then that the presence of crowds and individuals gaining access to Jesus despite the prominent architecture of separation speaks powerfully about the authorial desire to show Jesus as ‘opening’ all of the ‘house of Israel’. Jesus is seen as disregarding the liminal social restrictions in order to restore access to the divine for those previously marginalized. Jesus’ actions in these houses reveal a ‘purifying’ theme, culminating in Mark’s account of Jesus’ act of cleansing the Temple. The final chapter of the thesis considers possible links between Markan use of the house and later Christian communities. Turner’s notion of communitas is applied in order to show that Markan depiction of liminal boundaries may have been significant to early Christian communities in conflict with surrounding societies.
Development and Validation of the Workplace Social Dominance Orientation Scale

Subjects: Psychology--Industrial

description: The present study was conducted to develop and validate a measure of Workplace Social Dominance Orientation (WSDO). Items were developed and refined based on a theoretically derived definition of WSDO, and the scale’s psychometric properties were tested across two samples (student employees and managers). The final 7-item WSDO scale was generally distinct from existing constructs such as (original) Social Dominance Orientation and showed discriminant validity with theoretically unrelated constructs such as Extraversion and Conscientiousness. Although the WSDO scale predicted a number of workplace outcomes (i.e., impression management), the original Social Dominance Orientation scale along with the personality facet of Honesty-Humility were better predictors of these outcomes, after controlling for age and gender. Overall, these results suggest that there is moderate support in favor of the WSDO scale.

Subcellular Localization of Na/Ca+K-exchanger, NCKX2, in Hippocampus and Its Potential Role in Neuronal Plasticity

description: The Na+/Ca2++K+-exchanger (NCKX) family is encoded by five related genes, of which NCKX2 (solute carrier family 24, member 2) is the most abundant member present in the brain. In 2006, an NCKX2 knockout mouse was created, which displayed profound loss of hippocampal long term potentiation, and selective deficits in motor learning and spatial working memory. The molecular mechanisms underlying these changes have not been established. Thus, the overall goals of my thesis research project were to identify the exact subcellular localization of NCKX2 in hippocampus, which is an important prerequisite for understanding the physiological role NCKX2 has in neuronal function, and to examine if there were any secondary changes in the expression of synaptically-related molecules in nckx2 knockout animals. To achieve these goals, I used dual immunofluorescent confocal microscopy immuno-electron microscopy, and confocal immunofluorescence analysis and western blotting. My data demonstrate that the majority of NCKX2 is co-localized with the dendritic marker, microtubule associated protein 2. A smaller fraction is co-localized with the presynaptic marker, synapsin, and the smallest amount is co-localized with the glutamatergic spine marker, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 (NMDA receptor 1). There is a small but significant amount of NCKX2 co-localized with the dendritic potassium channels, BK and IK and with the chloride channel, TM16B, especially in the molecular layer. Immuno-electron microscopy demonstrates that the majority of NCKX2 is located on the fine branches of the proximal dendritic tufts. I did not observe in NCKX2 knockout animals any change of the spatial distribution or expression level of the following molecules: Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor, NMDAR1, post synaptic density protein 95, synapsin 1, vesicular glutamate transporter 1, BK channel, IK channel or the TMEM16B chloride channel. These studies describe for the first time the exact location of NCKX2 in the hippocampus of adult mice and suggest that the function of NCKX2 in neuronal plasticity may be mediated directly by its kinetic effect on the local calcium concentration that influences dendritic integration. These data provide a working hypothesis for the role of NCKX2 in neuronal plasticity at CA1 synapses, which may be the foundation for future mechanistic studies.

description: The temperature dependence of spin currents in insulators at the finite temperature near zero Kelvin is theoretically studied. The spin currents are carried by Jordan-Wigner fermions and magnons in one- and three- dimensional insulators. The quasiparticle description of one-dimensional spin systems is valid only in the finite temperature near zero Kelvin. These spin currents are generated by the external magnetic field gradient along the quantization axis and also by the two-particle interaction gradient. In one-dimensional insulators, quantum fluctuations are strong and the spin current carried by Jordan-Wigner fermions shows the stronger dependence on temperatures than the one by magnons.

Consumer Life History and Demography in Dynamic Environments

description: Individual demographic performance is the outcome of a complex interaction between a set of physiological rules predetermined at a genetic level, the individual, and a particular context, the environment. Both are highly dynamical entities. The environment varies in response to many deterministic and stochastic forces, and individuals respond to their environment as a function of their own internal conditions. My thesis combines empirical and theoretical works on consumer-resource systems in order to study how genetic and environmental factors interact to generate patterns of phenotypic expression and assess their effects on resulting ecological and evolutionary dynamics. I first present methods for carrying out sensitivity analysis of dynamic energy budget models. These techniques are then used to study how the feedback loop between consumer and resource dynamics affects individual life-history and emerging demographical patterns. Thirdly, I present the results of large manipulative experiments on Daphnia-algae systems aiming at characterizing how the combined effect of genetic variation and environmental fluctuations affect the population demographic patterns and their underlying energetic basis. The genomic response of individuals was further characterized through microarray experiments. Finally, I integrate some of these results within a simplified model framework to draw general implications for the dynamics of ecological systems. Sensitivity analysis reveals that including the effect of the environmental feedback drastically alters the predictions that are made on the patterns of expression in individual life history, and tends to buffer genotypic variation. Experimentations decouple this environmental feedback to reveal that the demography of the different clones is impacted in a different way by environmental food fluctuations. This result arises because the relation between individual energetics and food density is qualitatively affected by dynamic variation in the food environment. The genomic analysis supports these results and also emphasizes the importance of consumer-resource interactions for the functioning of biological organisms, as up to 84% of the Daphnia genome was found to respond to variation in food conditions. All the results of this thesis converge to highlight the fact that dynamical aspects in the environment significantly affect patterns of genetic expression at both the individual and population level.

description: Maintaining and restoring ecological connectivity is considered a global imperative to help reverse the decline of biodiversity. To be successful, practitioners need to be guided by connectivity modeling research that is rigorous and reliable for the task at hand. However, the methods and workflows within this rapidly growing field are diverse and few have been carefully scrutinized. We propose four steps that should be consistently undertaken in connectivity modeling studies in order to improve rigour and utility: (1) describe the type of connectivity being modeled, (2) assess the uncertainty and sensitivity of model parameters, (3) validate the model outputs, ideally with independent data, and (4) make non-sensitive raw data and code openly available to enhance computational reproducibility. We reviewed the literature to determine the extent to which studies included these four steps. We focused on studies that generated novel landscape connectivity outputs using circuit theory and restricted our assessment to studies concerning terrestrial mammals. Among 181 studies meeting our search criteria, 39% communicated the type of connectivity being modeled, 18% conducted some form of sensitivity or uncertainty analysis (or both), 18% of studies attempted to validate their connectivity model outputs and only 7% used fully independent data to do so. Lastly, 13% of the studies made all raw data available, 2% provided all required code, and only two studies provided both. Our findings highlight a clear need and opportunity to improve the reliability, reproducibility, and utility of connectivity modeling research. We provide a checklist that researchers can consult and include with outputs. This will help practitioners make more informed decisions and ensure limited resources for connectivity conservation and restoration are allocated appropriately.

description: We present centimeter and millimeter observations of the NGC 2071 star-forming region performed with the VLA and CARMA. We detected counterparts at 3.6 cm and 3 mm for the previously known sources IRS 1, IRS 2, IRS 3, and VLA 1. All these sources show SEDs dominated by free-free thermal emission at cm wavelengths, and thermal dust emission at mm wavelengths, suggesting that all of them are associated with YSOs. IRS 1 shows a complex morphology at 3.6 cm, with changes in the direction of its elongation. We discuss two possible explanations to this morphology: the result of changes in the direction of a jet due to interactions with a dense ambient medium, or that we are actually observing the superposition of two jets arising from two components of a binary system. Higher angular resolution observations at 1.3 cm support the second possibility, since a double source is inferred at this wavelength. IRS 3 shows a clear jet-like morphology at 3.6 cm. Over a time-span of four years, we observed changes in the morphology of this source that we interpret as due to ejection of ionized material in a jet. The emission at 3 mm of IRS 3 is angularly resolved, with a deconvolved size (FWHM) of ~120 AU, and seems to be tracing a dusty circumstellar disk perpendicular to the radio jet. An irradiated accretion disk model around an intermediate-mass YSO can account for the observed SED and spatial intensity profile at 3 mm, supporting this interpretation.

description: The Kirchhoff index, which is the sum of the resistance distance between every pair of nodes in a network, is a key metric for gauging network performance, where lower values signify enhanced performance. In this paper, we study the problem of minimizing the Kirchhoff index by adding edges. We first provide a greedy algorithm for solving this problem and give an analysis of its quality based on the bounds of the submodularity ratio and the curvature. Then, we introduce a gradient-based greedy algorithm as a new paradigm to solve this problem. To accelerate the computation cost, we leverage geometric properties, convex hull approximation, and approximation of the projected coordinate of each point. To further improve this algorithm, we use pre-pruning and fast update techniques, making it particularly suitable for large networks. Our proposed algorithms have nearly-linear time complexity. We provide extensive experiments on ten real networks to evaluate the quality of our algorithms. The results demonstrate that our proposed algorithms outperform the state-of-the-art methods in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. Moreover, our algorithms are scalable to large graphs with over 5 million nodes and 12 million edges.

description: In this study, we present the preliminary light curve analysis of the contact binary SW Lac, using B, V light curves of the system spanning 2 years (2009 - 2010). During the spot modeling process, we used the information coming from the Doppler maps of the system, which was performed using the high resolution and phase dependent spectra obtained at the 2.1 m Otto Struve Telescope of the McDonald Observatory, in 2009. The results showed that the spot modeling from the light curve analysis are in accordance with the Doppler maps, while the non-circular spot modeling technique is needed in order to obtain much better and reliable spot models.

description: Despite the burst of shale gas and shale oil production during the last decade, we are still far from fully understanding shale reservoirs. A pervasive problem is the scarcity of data for complete evaluation of wells penetrating these types of reservoirs. This observation leads to the developments presented in this thesis. Contributions are as follows: 1) Comparison of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) for studying the internal structure of shale reservoirs. 2) Development of a new petrophysical dual porosity model for calculating the cementation exponent m and water saturation in shale petroleum reservoirs. 3) A sensitivity study using a commercial simulator for studying the effect of the basic petrophysical properties mentioned above and hydraulic fracture parameters. Results show that the importance of matrix porosity and hydraulic fracture length vary depending upon the matrix permeability in shale formations.

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) and serological testing are use as screening and detection of HIV among blood donors. A cross-sectional study was undertaken from May to December 2020 by reviewing the existing blood donors database of Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh, Perak, that handle more than 314000 blood bags during the study period. 97 individuals tested positive with HIV, all of them donated whole blood and the median age is 30 years old. This group of donors comprised different ethnicity (Malay 63.9%, Chinese 15.5%, Indian 18.6% and other ethnicity 2.1%) reflecting multiracial population of Malaysia. 99% of HIV blood donors are male and more than half of them (63.9%) were single and (57.7%) were new donors. 3 donors didn't turn up for post donation counselling, half of them (55.3%) denied practicing any high risk behaviours, while 44.7% of them revealed their past involvement in one or two high risk behaviours. The most commonly reported high risk behaviour was practicing lifestyle of casual sex or multiple sexual partners (19.1%), followed by man having sex with man (MSM) (15.1%) and "make or received payment in exchanged for sex" (11.7%). It is pivotal to maintain equilibrium between recruiting blood donors and at the same time educate those with high risk behaviours to defer themselves prior donating. HIV infection among blood donors remain a thread to Blood Transfusion Services (BTS) in Malaysia. Disclaimer: Abstract text might vary slightly from what is displayed in the e-poster.

description: Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a group of cyclic oligosaccharides consisting of 6-8 glucose units which are linked together via -(1,4)-glycosidic linkages. These molecules are interesting because they are shaped like a truncated cone with a central cavity that can be used to form inclusion complexes with organic molecules. Chemical modifications have generated amphiphilic CD derivatives that exhibit thermotropic liquid crystalline properties. Based on previous observations, a series of novel amphiphilic -CD derivatives capable of forming hydrogen bonding networks of different strength have been designed and synthesized. These compounds have been used to probe the role of the hydrogen bonding network in the formation of liquid crystals (LCs) of amphiphilic CDs. Using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), cross-polarized optical microscopy (POM) and X-ray diffractometry, one compound was found to exhibit liquid crystalline properties An efficient and versatile synthetic methodology has been developed for the selective modification of the wider face of -CD using the Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The novel strategy has proved to be highly effective to introduce a wide range of functional groups to -CD. Using the newly established synthetic methodology, another two series of -CD derivatives capable of establishing hydrogen bond networks of different strength either at the wider end via flexible linkers or at narrower end of -CD have been synthesized. All these compounds were found to self-assemble into liquid crystalline phases. The obtained results also show that the clearing and melting temperatures of these amphiphilic molecules can be tuned independently either by modifying the depth of hydrophobic region or by modifying the strength of the hydrogen bonding network. Additionally, a novel oligoethoxy group-functionalized -CD derivative was found to exhibit liquid crystalline properties without relying on a hydrogen bonding network. This unprecedented discovery should stimulate new approaches to design CD-based liquid crystalline materials in the future. Finally, the liquid crystalline properties of inclusion complexes formed by an amphiphilic -CD were investigated for the first time using DSC, FT-IR, and solid state 13CNMR. It was found that the complexes displayed altered thermotropic liquid crystalline properties compared to the host.

description: The zebrafish (\emph{Danio rerio}) is one of the model animals for study of immunology because the dynamics in the adaptive immune system of zebrafish are similar to that in higher animals. In this work, we built a multi-scale model to simulate the dynamics of B cells in the primary and secondary immune responses of zebrafish. We use this model to explain the reported correlation between VDJ usage of B cell repertoires in individual zebrafish. We use a delay ordinary differential equation (ODE) system to model the immune responses in the 6-month lifespan of a zebrafish. This mean field theory gives the number of high affinity B cells as a function of time during an infection. The sequences of those B cells are then taken from a distribution calculated by a "microscopic" random energy model. This generalized $NK$ model shows that mature B cells specific to one antigen largely possess a single VDJ recombination. The model allows first-principles calculation of the probability, $p$, that two zebrafish responding to the same antigen will select the same VDJ recombination. This probability $p$ increases with the B cell population size and the B cell selection intensity. The probability $p$ decreases with the B cell hypermutation rate. The multi-scale model predicts correlations in the immune system of the zebrafish that are highly similar to that from experiment.

Year: 2023

description: The waste generated by dairy farm sector is the major contributor to the environmental pollution and global warming. Efficient utilization and management decrease the harmful effect on environment while generating value added commodities and enhancing the socio-economic status of the farmer. Traditional methods like composting, vermicomposting, biogas, panchgabya, biodynamic fertilizer etc. are widely in use. Production of biodiesel, bioplastic, bio textile etc. from the dairy waste should be encouraged. Single cell protein production from the dairy waste is also a sustainable approach. Various waste management methods also have significant effect on reducing the pollution. Manure management starts from feeding because the feeding influences the manure characteristics. The collection, storage and treatment methods of the dairy farm waste should be appropriate to minimize the methanogenesis. Technological advancement in dairy waste management is necessary for a sustainable production.

description: Recently, a superconducting (SC) transition from low-field (LF) to high-field (HF) SC states was reported in CeRh$_2$As$_2$, indicating the existence of multiple SC states. It has been theoretically noted that the existence of two Ce sites in the unit cell, the so-called sub-lattice degrees of freedom owing to the local inversion symmetry breaking at the Ce sites, can lead to the appearance of multiple SC phases even under an interaction inducing spin-singlet superconductivity. CeRh$_2$As$_2$ is considered as the first example of multiple SC phases owing to this sub-lattice degree of freedom. However, microscopic information about the SC states has not yet been reported. In this study, we measured the SC spin susceptibility at two crystallographically inequivalent As sites using nuclear magnetic resonance for various magnetic fields. Our experimental results strongly indicate a spin-singlet state in both SC phases. In addition, the antiferromagnetic phase, which appears within the SC phase, only coexists with the LF SC phase; there is no sign of magnetic ordering in the HF SC phase. The present work reveals unique SC properties originating from the locally noncentrosymmetric characteristics.

description: We investigate the low-temperature magneto-transport properties of monolayer epitaxial graphene films formed on the Si-face of semi-insulating 4H-SiC substrates by a high temperature sublimation process. A high-k top-gate on the epitaxial graphene is realized by inserting a fully oxidized nanometer thin aluminum film as a seeding layer, followed by an atomic layer deposition process. At low temperatures, the devices demonstrate a strong field effect by the top gate with an on/off ratio of ~7 and an electron mobility up to ~3250 cm^2/Vs. After the observation of the half-integer quantum Hall effect for monolayer epitaxial graphene films, detailed magneto-transport measurements have been carried out including varying densities, temperatures, magnetic fields and currents. We study the width of the distinguishable quantum-Hall plateau to plateau transition (Landau level index n=0 to n=1) as temperature (T) and current are varied. For both gate voltage and magnetic field sweeps and T>10 K the transition width goes as T^{-κ} with exponent κ~0.42. This universal scaling exponent agrees well with those found in III-V heterojunctions with short range alloy disorders and in exfoliated graphene.
