description: The goal of this work is to provide an account of dative clitic dependencies in constructions with raising verbs such as to seem in Romanian. Dative clitic experiencers as quirky subjects and dative clitics in clitic left dislocation (CLLD) constructions are discussed from a syntactic point of view and experimentally tested in a psycholinguistics study. The study contributes to current innovations in the Minimalist Program, presenting new perspectives on Romanian clitic dependencies in raising constructions partially addressed in earlier generative grammar. This study poses new questions regarding raising, the intervention effects of dative clitic experiencers, and the effects of clitic dependencies in ditransitive constructions. Chapter II presents an overview of Romanian raising constructions without dative experiencers. I show that Romanian possesses three raising constructions, based on the type of the embedded clause: subjunctive, infinitive, and indicative. Each of these has three potential locations for the nominative subject, argued to be generated in the embedded clause. Formal mechanisms such as Long Distance and Multiple Agree, Movement, Case and EPP are considered independent of one another. Dative clitic experiencers in raising constructions, analyzed in Chapter III, are claimed to be quirky subjects and to structurally occupy the highest position in the sentence. Having established the role of dative clitic experiencers, I discuss raising constructions involving dative experiencers generated and/or surfacing in various positions, and their effects on operations such as Agree and Move. I then discuss Experiencer Islands, formed by matrix and embedded experiencers in the same utterance, and present the contexts in which they occur. A Grammaticality Judgment Test confirms the existence of such restriction in Romanian. Furthermore, I present an analysis of Experiencer Islands and discuss observed exceptions to the restriction. Dative clitic dependencies such as CLLD constructions and Long Distance CLLD Constructions are also analyzed in this thesis. The experimental study presented in Chapter IV supports theoretical claims and demonstrates that Romanian speakers are aware of dative clitic dependencies, such as clitic experiencer dependencies and clitic dependencies in CLLD constructions, possess the grammatical knowledge of biclausal constructions involving dative clitic dependencies and have the ability to recognize such dependencies.

description: The war novel is a significant genre in twentieth-century Canadian fiction. Central to that genre has been the soldier’s narrative. Canadian war novelists have often situated the soldier’s story in opposition to how war has functioned in Canadian cultural memory, which usually posits war as a necessary, though brutal, galvanizing force. This dissertation on how novelists depict the Canadian soldier represents a crucial opportunity to examine Canadian cultures of militarization and how Canadian identity has been formed in close identification with the mutable figure of the soldier. The most sophisticated Canadian war novels engage with how militarism functions as a grand narrative in Canadian society, while enabling Canadians to speak about issues related to war that tend to be over-simplified or elided. This dissertation examines emblematic Canadian war novels – The Imperialist by Sara Jeanette Duncan, Generals Die in Bed by Charles Yale Harrison, Turvey by Earle Birney, Execution by Colin McDougall, The Wars by Timothy Findley, Broken Ground by Jack Hodgins, The Stone Carvers by Jane Urquhart, etc. – in order to trace how the representation of the Canadian soldier has shifted throughout the twentieth-century. Canadian war novels are culturally cathartic exercises wherein received notions of Canadian moral and military superiority can be safely questioned. The Canadian soldier, often characterized in official discourse as the personification of duty and sacrifice, has been reimagined by war novelists throughout the twentieth century as a site of skepticism and resistance. In many Canadian war novels, the soldier affords the opportunity to claim counter-histories, reject master narratives, and posit new originary myths.

Reality bytes! The technological realities of public relations practitioners in Ghana

description: In developed countries, the rate of technological development and dissemination over the past two decades has been breathtaking, to say the least. These developments have affected all facets of life and work. As a result, it is a generally accepted notion that new communication technologies have had, and will continue to have a significant impact on how organisations communicate, including the way public relations is practised. A growing body of literature on new technologies and public relations practice supports this widely held notion. However, despite this emergent body of literature, there is hardly any knowledge about what the situation is in developing countries in terms of the rate of technological adoption by public relations practitioners and the impact of these technologies on their work. This paper is an initial attempt to deal with some of what is missing from the literature in this burgeoning area---a developing world perspective. The paper is based on research carried out in Ghana during January and February 2004. The findings indicate that while Ghanaian public relations practitioners are optimistic about the impact new technologies will have on their practice, the reality of their technological situation shows that there is a wide gap between the experience of practitioners in Ghana and those in the developed world.

description: Breast cancer (BCa) is one of the most predominantly diagnosed cancers in women. Notably, 70% of BCa diagnoses are Estrogen Receptor α positive (ERα+) making it a critical therapeutic target. With that, the two subtypes of ER, ERα and ERβ, have contrasting effects on BCa cells. While ERα promotes cancerous activities, ERβ isoform exhibits inhibitory effects on the same. ER-directed small molecule drug discovery for BCa has provided the FDA approved drugs tamoxifen, toremifene, raloxifene and fulvestrant that all bind to the estrogen binding site of the receptor. These ER-directed inhibitors are non-selective in nature and may eventually induce resistance in BCa cells as well as increase the risk of endometrial cancer development. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel drugs with alternative ERα targeting mechanisms that can overcome the limitations of conventional anti-ERα therapies. Several functional sites on ERα, such as Activation Function-2 (AF2), DNA binding domain (DBD), and F-domain, have been recently considered as potential targets in the context of drug research and discovery. In this review, we summarize methods of computer-aided drug design (CADD) that have been employed to analyze and explore potential targetable sites on ERα, discuss recent advancement of ERα inhibitor development, and highlight the potential opportunities and challenges of future ERα-directed drug discovery.

description: The study of song cycles poses difficulties for both analysts and performers. These challenges stem largely from two qualities intrinsic to the genre: (1) the inclusion of two semiotic systems, language and music, and (2) the use of multi-movement structures. Several scholars have addressed these issues; however, a model built on a balanced consideration of both text-based/dramatic events and purely musical elements, has yet to be offered. This study proposes such a model with separate applications for both performers and analysts. Focusing on the identification of features connecting song cycles in their entirety, deep voice-leading associations and movements in key paths are examined in the application for analysts, whereas the performers’ application concentrates on recognizing underlying “atmospheres” and forms of acceleration. Each application is applied to Schumann’s Frauenliebe und –leben and Dichterliebe song cycles, demonstrating the benefits of employing this model in the development of both performative and analytical interpretations.

description: To understand the modus operandi of the discourse of hysteria, the paper proposes to derive its assembly from the characteristics and operation of the hysterical clinical structure. To circumvent the enjoyment, hysteria cultivates dissatisfaction: the lack, in the position of truth, cannot be met by the Other, in the position of production. And, at the same time that she highlights the limitation of the Other, the hysteric offers herself to overcome it: the subject, in the position of agent, places herself as object of desire of the Other, in the position of other of the discourse. As a social link, however, the discourse of hysteria does not necessarily involve hysterical subjects from the clinical viewpoint. What distinguishes the latter is the fact that they cling to the questioning of the disjunctions of impotence, below, and of impossibility, above, and thus become fixed on the internal dynamics of the discourse. / Para compreender o modus operandi do discurso da histeria, o artigo propõe-se a derivar sua montagem a partir das características e do funcionamento da estrutura clínica histérica. Para eludir o gozo, a histeria cultiva a insatisfação: a falta, na posição da verdade, não pode ser suprida pelo Outro, na posição da produção. E, ao mesmo tempo que evidencia a limitação do Outro, a histérica oferece-se para tamponá-la: o sujeito, na posição do agente, coloca-se como objeto do desejo do Outro, na posição do outro do discurso. Contudo, como laço social, o discurso da histeria não envolve necessariamente sujeitos histéricos do ponto de vista clínico. O que distingue estes últimos é o fato de aferrarem-se ao questionamento das disjunções de impotência, na linha de baixo, e de impossibilidade, na linha de cima, e, desse modo, fixarem-se na dinâmica interna do discurso.

description: In this thesis, I chose to identify and evaluate different monitoring methods on surgeon specific outcomes in colorectal surgery. An initial literature search identified different methods that were applied to a cohort of colorectal patients operated on by general surgeons using an electronic hospital database. Surgeon specific complications were validated with a chart review. General surgeons at The Ottawa Hospital were surveyed on their opinions regarding monitoring outcomes. We can conclude that different methods may be needed as they are dependent heavily on specified target limits. With our derived cohort, we had adequate risk adjustment using a modified Escobar model for 30 day mortality and morbidity. These complications were derived from electronic algorithms and had excellent specificity and sensitivity. General surgeons at The Ottawa Hospital have different opinions regarding monitoring their outcomes and surgeon engagement is necessary to make monitoring fruitful for patients, public, hospital administration, and surgeons.

description: Background School-based injuries represent a sizeable portion of child injuries. This study investigated the rates of school-based injuries in Lebanon, examining injury mechanisms, outcomes and associated risk factors. Methods Data were prospectively collected by intern school nurses at 11 private schools for the 2018–2019 academic year. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed. Chisquare comparisons were conducted to determine the significance of any differences in injury rates between boys and girls for each category of school. Results 4,619 injury cases were collected. The yearly rate for school injuries was 419.1 per 1,000 children for the year 2018–2019. Boys demonstrated a significantly higher injury rate for all mechanisms of injuries, with the exception of being injured while walking, injured in the gym/ sports areas, and other areas outside the playground and classroom. Elementary school children had the highest rate of injuries, nearly 2.4 times higher than kindergarten, 2.8 times higher than middle school, and 14.5 times higher than high school. Injuries to the face, upper extremities, and lower extremities were nearly 3 times more common than injuries to other areas of the body. Bumps/hits and bruises were most common—almost 3 times more likely than all other injury types. Injuries were mainly minor or moderate in severity—severe injuries were about 10 times less likely. Most injuries were unintentional, with rates nearly 5 times higher than those with unclear intent and 12 times higher than intentional injuries. Conclusions School injuries represent a relatively common problem. Compliance with playground safety standards coupled with the implementation of injury prevention strategies and active supervision at schools can curtail child injuries and ensure a safe and injury-free school environment.

description: Agent technology is increasingly being used to develop software systems in different domains. Hence particular design problems are recurring in different multi-agent systems development projects. In order to enhance the reuse of proven solutions to recurring design problems, agent design patterns are being identified and documented. Understandably, most of the available work on agent design patterns reflect Object Oriented concepts (classes, objects, inheritance, etc) and exhibit an implementation bias. It is preferable for these patterns to reflect the notions of agency and be described at the right level of abstraction. In this paper, we present a new agent design pattern classification scheme that is structured to better reflect the notions of agency and allow varying levels of abstraction in describing agent design patterns. We also show how four different agent design patterns fit into our classification scheme.

description: Nous présentons une méthode de compression des images ultrasons sans perte significative d'information. Cette méthode s'inspire des méthodes de deuxième génération. Les différents groupes d'information sont tout d'abord extraits de l'image à l'aide d'un algorithme de segmentation. Trois groupes d'information sont identifiés soit l'échelle de gris, l'image ultrason et l'image de fond. Chaque groupe d'information est alors traité individuellement, afin d'exploiter les caractéristiques de chacun d'eux pour leur compression. La notion d'information est redéfinie pour chacun d'eux afin d'optimiser la compression sans perte d'information. Nous obtenons avec cette méthode un ratio de compression de 4:1, et ce, sans perte significative d'information. Nos images initialement codées sur 8 bits/pixel peuvent être codées en moyenne sur 1,952050 bits/pixel.

The role of budgets in local government: problem or solution?
Creators: name: Kloot, Louise
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper considers criticism of the practice of budgeting in local government, and proposals for both a standardised budgeting model and standardised financial reporting. The paper examines whether standardised models are appropriate, particularly in the context of ambiguous outcomes, criticism of accrual accounting in the public sector, and a focus on the implementation of a flexible best value regime. In light of the criticism that accrual accounting and other private sector practices are not necessarily appropriate for the public sector, this paper questions whether the conclusions of a 2001 report that budgeting practices are exceedingly poor are justified.

description: The structure of turbulence in the subchannels of a large-scale 60 degree section of a CANDU 37-rod bundle was studied at Reynolds numbers equal to 50,000, 100,000 and 130,000. Measurements were conducted at roughly 33.81 rod diameters from the inlet of the rod bundle using single-point, two-component hot-wire anemometry. Analysis of the axial velocity signal indicated a weak effect of Reynolds number on the axial velocity distribution and a bulging of axial velocity contours toward the narrow gaps. The normalised normal Reynolds stresses and the normalised turbulent kinetic energy were found to decrease as the Reynolds number increased. The radial Reynolds shear stress varied linearly with radial distance from the rod, crossing zero at the location of local maximum of the axial velocity. This stress was symmetric about the central rod whereas the azimuthal Reynolds shear stress was anti-symmetric. The Reynolds number effect was weak but measurable on the integral length scales of the axial and radial velocity fluctuations but negligible on the integral length scale of the azimuthal velocity fluctuations, especially in the gap regions. The Taylor and Kolmogorov microscales increased from the wall toward the centre of the subchannel and decreased as the Reynolds number increased. The wall shear stress stress distribution around the central rod indicated no effect of Reynolds number, when normalized by the corresponding average. The wall shear stress reached local minima at rod-wall and rod-rod gaps and local maxima in the open flow regions. Vortex streets were generated within the subchannels very close to the inlet of the rod bundle. The convection speed and frequency of the vortex street were found to increase proportionately to Reynolds number, whereas the vortex spacing was not affected by the Reynolds number.

Finite element implementation, validation, and deep foundation application of a bounding-surface plasticity model.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: The Bardet model requires nine parameters in order to describe the behavior of a soil. This thesis presents methods of determination of these parameters and the model sensitivity with respect to variation in values of its parameters. This sensitivity analysis illustrates the relative importance of each one of the model parameters in the overall performance of the model. The model parameters are grouped into three categories based on their relative effect on the model performance. The calculation of pore water pressure is achieved by considering an extremely small compressibility for the pore water and soil particles. The pore water pressure is expressed as the product of the volume change and the combined bulk modulus of soil particles and pore water. For drained condition, the combined bulk modulus takes the value of zero. For undrained conditions, it approaches infinity and the soil becomes incompressible. Verification of implementation of the model in the finite element program is carried out. Finite element calculations are made for soil behavior in different laboratory tests and compared with results of calculations made by integrating the constitutive equations numerically. Four test conditions are considered in the verification process. These are, monotonic drained, monotonic undrained, cyclic drained, and cyclic undrained cases. In the first stage of validation, the performance is investigated when the constitutive model is used to simulate stress-strain and strength of cohesionless soils tested under variety of test conditions. Comparisons are made between laboratory test results and the variety of test conditions. Comparisons are made between laboratory test results and the corresponding model simulations. The behavior of Sacramento River sand, Fuji River sand, a crushed quartz sand, and a sandy silt, are considered in a number of conventional and non-conventional stress-path and strain-path tests. Comparisons between the model simulations and the measured responses of these soils demosntrate a very good performance of the model. In the second stage of validation, analyses of three boundary value problems are performed. The first, is the behavior of a model-scale footing resting on the surface of a sandy silt. The second, is the behavior of 14/25 Leighton Buzzard sand in the Cambridge Simple Shear Device. The third, is the analysis of a six metre wide foundation resting on the ground surface for three different conditions of the supporting soil. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Subjects: subject: Physics, Condensed Matter.

description: The photoelectromagnetic (PEM) effect was used to perform experiments on photocarriers' transport properties in GaAs substrates and epitaxial layers. For the undoped semi-insulating substrate, the carriers' mobility $\mu$ at T = 77K was measured by PEM effect method, giving a value of $\mu$ = 40,000 cm$\sp2$ V$\sp{-1}$s$\sp{-1}$. It was found that the carriers' diffusion length is L$\sb{\rm D}$ = 0.27 $\mu$m at T = 300K and L$\sb{\rm D}$ = 0.44 $\mu$m at T = 77K. For the 3.4$\mu$m thick epitaxial layer grown by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD), the carriers' diffusion length was measured to be L$\sb{\rm D}$ = 2.6 $\mu$m at T = 300K, L$\sb{\rm D}$ = 3.1 $\mu$m at T = 77K and L$\sb D \approx$ 3.5 $\mu$m at T = 5K. A photocurrent (PC) spectroscopy study of In$\sb{\rm x}$Ga$\sb{\rm 1-x}$As/GaAs quantum wells on Cr-doped and undoped substrates has been performed. Several well-resolved structures related to inter-subband transitions are observed in the photoconductivity spectra for both T = 300K and T = 77K, and they are in good agreement with calculation taking into account the strain-induced splitting of the bands. Both Cr-doped and undoped substrates have been found to influence the results, as shown by optical quenching techniques.

NOM [natürlicher organischer Stoff]

description: Controlling the contamination of water cycles with organic micropollutants (OMPs) has been targeted in many regions. Adsorption with activated carbon is an effective technology to remove OMPs from different water matrices. To efficiently design or operate the adsorption process, the adsorption of OMPs should be properly assessed, usually with time-consuming batch adsorption tests and sophisticated analyses. In this study, a quick adsorption test method has been developed by loading powdered activated carbon (PAC) into a syringe filter which can be used subsequently to filtrate the water sample in short time (<60 s). Treated wastewater was applied to compare the quick test method and conventional batch test regarding the adsorption of 14 frequently detected OMPs, the abatement of UV254, and changes in fractions of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Similar adsorption patterns of individual OMPs, total OMPs, and DOM fractions was found with two methods. UV254 can predict the removal of total OMPs and most individual OMPs in both methods. Both the abatement of UV254 or the removal of OMPs determined in the quick test led to a highly accurate prediction of OMP adsorption in the conventional adsorption tests. The novel quick test method thus could help operators and researchers quickly monitor the adsorption capacity of PAC products. Quelle: https://www.sciencedirect.com/

description: The increased demand on wireless applications, coupled with the current inefficiency in spectrum usage, mandate a new communication paradigm shift from fixed spectrum assignment to dynamic spectrum sharing which can be achieved using the cognitive radio technology. Cognitive radio allows unlicensed secondary nodes to form communication links over licensed spectrum bands on an opportunistic basis which increases the spectrum management efficiency. Cognitive radio networks (CRN), however, impose unique challenges due to the fluctuation in the available spectrum as well as the diverse quality of service requirements. One of the main challenges is the establishment and maintenance of routes in multi-hop CRNs. In this thesis, we critically investigate the problem of routing in multi-hop CRNs. The main objective of this research is to maximize network connectivity while limiting routing delay. We developed a general connectivity metric for single-band and multi-band CRNs based on the properties of the Laplacian matrix eigenvalues spectrum. We show through analytical and simulation results that the developed metric is more robust and has lower computational complexity than the previously proposed metrics. Furthermore, we propose a new position-based routing algorithm for large scale CRNs which significantly reduces the routing computational complexity with negligible performance degradation compared to the traditional full node search algorithm. In addition, the connectivity metric developed in this thesis is used to develop a connectivity-aware distributed routing protocol for CRNs. Finally, we use a commodity cognitive radio testbed to demonstrate the concept of CR Wi-Fi networks.

description: В статье представлена информация о возникновении и истории развития понятий «система научно-справочного аппарата» и «научно-справочный аппарат» в российском архивоведении. В настоящее время термины «научно-справочный аппарат» и «система научно-справочного аппарата» не отражают сложившихся в большинстве архивных учреждений страны информационных систем, создаваемых на научной основе. Поэтому вышеуказанные термины, после широкого обсуждения этого вопроса в архивной отрасли, можно было бы заменить термином «научно-информационная система». В новом термине отражены научная работа архивистов по систематизации и классификации документов и их описанию, применение информационных технологий для поиска архивных документов и их использования, система всех типов архивных справочников о составе и содержании документальных комплексов архива.

Ключевые слова: термин, научно-справочный аппарат, система научно-справочного аппарата, история, архивоведение, научно-информационная система.

description: На материале архивных и опубликованных исторических источников рассматривается проблема преподавания латинского языка в русских семинариях XVIII в. Базируясь на учебных курсах Киево-Могилянской академии, восходивших, в свою очередь, к европейским моделям коллегий иезуитов, курсы преподавания латыни «великорусским» ученикам постепенно трансформировались в условиях послепетровской России. Мы рассмотрим типы учебных пособий, которые использовались в преподавании («разговоры», словари, упражнения, буквари и грамматики), и подробнее остановимся на том, как, судя по имеющимся данным, материал распределялся по ступеням обучения. Полученные данные показывают, что опора на грамматику и в целом грамматический принцип преподавания для семинарий даже в конце XVIII в. имели свою специфику, связанную с социальными особенностями обучения в семинариях: грамматический подход предполагал использование грамматики, однако их тексты в основном так же заучивались наизусть, как и другие образцовые тексты на латыни. Некоторый элемент грамматического анализа, судя по отчетам учителей, появляется в последней четверти XVIII — начале XIX в., однако не совсем понятно, мог ли он быть реализован в семинарских условиях или оставался исключительно в отчетах.

description: Для Европы второй половины XIX века был характерен усиленный интерес к бабизму и вере бахаи. Дипломаты, востоковеды и др. старались внести вклад в изучение этого феномена — зарождения новой религии. Среди европейцев выдающуюся роль в изучении данной тематики сыграли барон В. Р. Розен, А. Г. Туманский и британский востоковед Э. Браун. Розен оставил после себя обширную коллекцию неизданных материалов, включая представляющие немалый интерес и для исследователей бабизма, и религии бахаи. Они хранятся в Санкт-Петербургcком филиале Архива РАН и включают, среди прочего, переписку Розена с Туманским, Брауном, Батюшковым, академиком Ольденбургом, Игнатьевым, Вуаро, Хейруллой, рукописи (и копии рукописей), донесения русских дипломатов о бабидах/бахаи из Персии и Адрианополя (в Османской империи), о ситуации с приверженцами новой религии в период ссылки в указанный город Бахауллы.

description: Trichostatin A (TSA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor with beneficial effects in spinal muscular atrophy mouse models that carry the human SMN2 transgene. Whether TSA specifically targets the upregulation of the SMN2 gene or whether other genes respond to TSA and in turn provide neuroprotection in SMA mice is unclear. We have taken advantage of the Smn2B/- mouse model that does not harbor the human SMN2 transgene, to test the hypothesis that TSA has its beneficial effects through a non-Smn mediated pathway. Daily intraperitoneal injection of TSA from postnatal day 12 to 25 was performed in the Smn2B/- mice and littermate controls. Previous work from our laboratory demonstrated that treatment with TSA increased the median lifespan of Smn2B/- mice from twenty days to eight weeks. As well, there was a significant attenuation of weight loss and improved motor behavior. Pen test and righting reflex both showed significant improvement, and motor neurons in the spinal cord of Smn2B/-mice were protected from degeneration. Both the size and maturity of neuromuscular junctions were significantly improved in TSA treated Smn2B/- mice. Here, we have shown that TSA treatment does not increase the levels of Smn protein in mouse embryonic fibroblasts or myoblasts obtained from the Smn2B/- mice. Further, qPCR analysis revealed no changes in the level of Smn transcripts in the brain or spinal cord of TSA-treated SMA mice. Similarly, western blot analysis revealed no significant increase in Smn protein levels in the brain, spinal cord, hind limb muscle, heart muscle, or the liver of TSA treated Smn2B/- mice. However, TSA has beneficial effects in the muscles of Smn2B/- mice and improves motor behavior and myofiber size. TSA improves muscle development by enhancing the activity of myogenic regulatory factors independent of the Smn gene. The beneficial effect of TSA is therefore likely through an Smn-independent manner. Identification of these protective pathways will be of therapeutic value for the treatment of SMA.

description: Many health geography studies, including the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study (ONS), have faced significant challenges uncovering local variation in patterns of community health in rural areas. This is due to the fact that sparsely populated rural areas make it difficult to define neighbourhoods that are representative of the social and resource utilization patterns of the individuals therein. Moreover, rural areas yield small samples from population-based regional health surveys and this leads to insufficient sample sizes for reliable estimation of health determinants and outcomes. In response to this issue this thesis combines geographical and statistical techniques which allow for the simulation of health variables within small areas and populations within rural Ottawa. This methodological approach combines the techniques of dasymetric mapping and statistical micro-simulation in an innovative way, which will allow health geography researchers to explore health determinants and health outcomes at small spatial scales in rural areas. Dasymetric mapping is used to generate a statistical population surface over Ottawa and then estimate socio-economic (SES) variables within small neighbourhood units within rural Ottawa. The estimated SES variables are then used as correlate variables to simulate health determinant and health outcome variables form the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) using statistical micro-simulation. Through this methodology, simulations of specific health determinants and outcome can be investigated at small spatial scales within rural areas. Dasymetric mapping provided neighbourhood-level population estimates that were used to re-weight as set of SES variables that were correlates with those in the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). These neighbourhood-level correlates allowed microsimulation and consequent spatial exploration of prevalence for smoking, binge drinking, obesity, self-rated mental health, and the presence of two or more chronic conditions. The methodology outlined in this paper, provides and innovative way of exploring health determinants and health outcomes in neighbourhoods for which population and health statistics are not traditionally collected at levels that would allow traditional statistical analyses of prevalence.

description: Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is an uncommon mesothelial proliferation that is most commonly encountered as an incidental finding in the peritoneal cavity. There is controversy in the literature about whether WDPM is a neoplasm or a reactive process and, if neoplastic, whether it is a variant or precursor of epithelial malignant mesothelioma or is a different entity. Using whole exome sequencing of five WDPMs of the peritoneum, we have identified distinct mutations in EHD1, ATM, FBXO10, SH2D2A, CDH5, MAGED1, and TP73 shared by WDPM cases but not reported in malignant mesotheliomas. Furthermore, we show that WDPM is strongly enriched with C > A transversion substitution mutations, a pattern that is also not found in malignant mesotheliomas. The WDPMs lacked the alterations involving BAP1, SETD2, NF2, CDKN2A/B, LASTS1/2, PBRM1, and SMARCC1 that are frequently found in malignant mesotheliomas. We conclude that WDPMs are neoplasms that are genetically distinct from malignant mesotheliomas and, based on observed mutations, do not appear to be precursors of malignant mesotheliomas.
