Evaluating the extravascular penetration and distribution of anti-cancer drugs using a novel application of the multilayered cell culture model
Creators: name: Kyle, Alastair Hugh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The inefficient distribution of anti-cancer drugs in the tumour extravascular compartment may be an important mechanism of drug resistance in solid tumours. However, gaining an understanding of diffusion limitations of existing drugs and developing new drugs with improved tumour penetration is limited by a lack of techniques with which to evaluate drugs. The purpose of this research project was to assess the extravascular penetration and distribution of anti-cancer drugs using a novel application of the multilayered cell culture (MCC) model. MCC is a planar analogue of spheroidal cell culture, in which tumour cells are instead grown into discs of tissue. Due to their 3-D conformation they model many characteristics of the tumour extravascular compartment. A unique property of MCC is that it possesses two populations of rapidly proliferating cells, one on each side of the culture, that are separated by a known thickness of tissue. In tumours and spheroids proliferation status falls off with distance from the vasculature (tumours) or tissue edge (spheroids), which in turn modifies cellular response to drugs. Hence, visualizing the distribution of a drug's effect within these tissues cannot be used to directly determine its actual distribution. The hypothesis of this project was that the symmetrical proliferation seen in MCCs could be applied to measure the ability of anti-cancer drugs to penetrate and distribute within tissue using a biological endpoint. Based on this hypothesis an effect-based assay was devised and applied to assess the tissue distribution of a selection of anti-cancer drugs from several distinct classes. Using the assay, drug exposure to cells 150 μm into tissue (a diffusion distance commonly observed in solid tumours) was estimated to vary from as low as 3-10% of the reservoir exposure (anthracyclines) to cases where no reduction in exposure could be detected (5-FU and cisplatin). The MCC-based assay was validated by comparing the predicted drug distributions with direct visualization of the drugs themselves. Results from this study suggest that an MCC effect-based assay could be used as a simple drug penetration screen in the development of new anti-cancer drugs.

title: Shakespeare, Decolonisation, and the Cold War
Creators: name: Taylor, James Lee
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: This study considers the role that touring Shakespeare productions played in securing British interests during the Cold War and decolonisation. Focusing on a selection of British Council supported tours during the period the relationship between Shakespeare in Britain and Shakespeare abroad is examined. The evolution of touring Shakespeare’s use in cultural diplomacy is located within the broader history of Britain’s imperial decline and Cold War entanglements. The thesis draws upon the National Archive’s Records of the British Council; the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust’s collections; and the British Library’s Newspaper, and Manuscript collections. A wide-range of performance, administrative, and anecdotal accounts are brought to light in order to reveal the political and cultural tensions characterising each tour. The shift to using Shakespeare in post-war cultural diplomacy is determined through an examination of tours supporting British colonial interests in Egypt between 1939 and 1946, a formative era of anti-colonial agitation and emerging Cold War dynamics. The late 1940s saw touring Shakespeare assist in the re-colonisation of Australia, with cultural-diplomatic initiatives dedicated to strengthening Britain’s imperial and Cold War objectives. As the military stalemate of the 1950s witnessed the compensatory rise of culture as a political resource, Shakespeare tours countered Soviet influence in Austria, Yugoslavia, and Poland. The 1960s saw Shakespeare used in support of British economic interests in West Africa in general, and UK publishing interests in Nigeria in particular. The thesis concludes that Shakespeare productions were dispatched to Cold War and colonial destinations with the purpose of supporting Britain’s commercial and political interests; that Shakespeare proved to be an effective and protean cultural weapon in service to the British nation; and that contradictory results ensued, including resistance from reluctant hosts and disagreements within Britain’s metropolitan Shakespeare culture itself over Shakespeare’s global role.

description: The results of the lowest frequency spectral survey carried out toward a molecular cloud and sensitive observations at selected frequencies are presented. The entire Arecibo C-band (4--6 GHz) was observed towards the cyanopolyyne peak of TMC-1 with an rms sensitivity of about 17--18 mK (about 2--2.5 mJy). In addition, a number of selected frequency ranges within the C-band and X-band (8--10 GHz) were observed with longer integration times and rms sensitivities 7--8 mK (about 2 mJy) or higher. In the spectral scan itself, already--known H2CO and HC5N lines were detected. However, in more sensitive observations at selected frequencies, lines of C2S, C3S, C4H, C4H2, HC3N and its 13C substituted isotopic species, HC5N, HC7N, and HC9N were found, about half of them detected for the first time. The rotational temperatures of the detected molecules fall in the range 4--9 K. Cyanopolyyne column densities vary from 5.6x10^{13} cm^{-2} for HC5N to 2.7x10^{12} cm^{-2} for HC9N. Our results show that for molecular observations at low frequencies (4--10 GHz) to be useful for studying dark clouds, the sensitivity must be of the order of 5--10 mK or better. To date, observations at around 10 GHz have been more productive than those at lower frequencies.

description: International commerce in processed foods substantially exceeds the value of unprocessed agricultural commodities and is expanding more rapidly. International trade in processed foods has been the most rapidly growing portion of world food and agricultural trade during the past decade. Even more significant, however, are sales from foreign affiliates of food manufacturing, grocery wholesaling and retailing, and food service firms. Foreign affiliation is acquired through foreign direct investment in foreign plants and facilities. U.S. food manufacturers' sales through foreign affiliates were more than quadruple the value of processed food exports from the United States. Foreign food manufacturers' sales through U.S. affiliates were more than double the value of processed food exports to the United States. Patterns of global commerce in processed foods are influenced by public policies addressing transportation, communication, rules for regional and multinational trade, food product and process standards, the environment, and intellectual property.

By employing the Bell - Szekeres solution as seed and depending on the chosen scalar field it is possible to construct nonsingular solutions. If the original EM solution is already singular addition of scalar fields does not make the physics any better. In particular, scalar field solution that is transformable to spherical symmetry is plagued with singularities.

description: We study quantum coarse-grained entropy and demonstrate that the gap in entropy between local and global coarse-grainings is a natural generalization of entanglement entropy to mixed states and multipartite systems. This "quantum correlation entropy" $S^{\rm QC}$ is additive over independent systems, is invariant under local unitary operations, measures total nonclassical correlations (vanishing on states with strictly classical correlation), and reduces to the entanglement entropy for bipartite pure states. It quantifies how well a quantum system can be understood via local measurements, and ties directly to non-equilibrium thermodynamics, including representing a lower bound on the quantum part of thermodynamic entropy production. We discuss two other measures of nonclassical correlation to which this entropy is equivalent, and argue that together they provide a unique thermodynamically distinguished measure.

It is a companion report to Agricultural Baseline Projections to 2005, Reflecting the 1996 Farm Act (WAOB-97-1), providing the foreign country detail supporting those projections. Projections of strong global economic growth, particularly in developing countries, combined with more open foreign markets and the emergence of China as a major bulk commodity importer, support strong projected gains in U.S. farm exports. The value of total U.S. agricultural exports is projected to rise from a record $59.8 billion in FY 1996 to nearly $80 billion in 2005. The projections are a conditional scenario, assuming the continuation of 1996 U.S. farm legislation through 2005, no shocks, average weather, and specific macroeconomic and foreign country policy assumptions. The projections were completed based on information available as of January 1997, and reflect a composite of model results and analyst judgment.

description: We present a construction of a matrix product state (MPS) that approximates the largest-eigenvalue eigenvector of a transfer matrix T, for the purpose of rapidly performing the infinite system density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method applied to two-dimensional classical lattice models. We use the fact that the largest-eigenvalue eigenvector of T can be approximated by a state vector created from the upper or lower half of a finite size cluster. Decomposition of the obtained state vector into the MPS gives a way of extending the MPS, at the system size increment process in the infinite system DMRG algorithm. As a result, we successfully give the physical interpretation of the product wave function renormalization group (PWFRG) method, and obtain its appropriate initial condition.

The star has a bolometric X-ray luminosity of about $1\times 10^{32}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ and a heavily absorbed two-temperature plasma spectrum. The shape of its light curve, its overall brightness, its X-ray spectrum, and the emission lines in its optical spectrum suggest that it is most likely a VY~Scl cataclysmic variable.

description: Malaysia is a pioneer in drafting and executing personal data protection law among the ASEAN countries. However, the adequacy of this protection regime is questionable. This study is aimed at evaluating the aptitude of the Personal Data Protection Act (2010) (P.D.P.A.) from the application perspective. The evaluation and analysis of the application and scope of the P.D.P.A. through comparative and descriptive approaches shows that the Act has provided for a narrow scope with wide exemptions. This approach may hinder a standard personal data protection legal system for the protection of individuals’ privacy. Moreover, the P.D.P.A. will fail the adequacy test of the developed nations such as the European Union Member States.

description: Commercial farms represent only 27 percent of farms in the United States, yet produce just over 75 percent of the value of agricultural products. These commercial farm businesses vary greatly by size, commodities produced, financial status, and operator demographics. Overall financial performance shows that the proportion of farms experiencing extreme financial stress remained stable over the last few years, and is considerably less than in the 1980s. Even as record levels of gross farm income are earned in this sector, expenses have increased as well, leaving farms in 1994 with average net farm income relatively stable in nominal terms over the previous 4 years.

description: This report examines geographic changes in U.S. livestock production during 1969-92 from the standpoint of industry concentration and structure. Farm numbers declined 30 percent from 1969 to 1992, but hog and dairy operations were down 70 percent, farms producing eggs dropped 85 percent, and broiler operations declined 35 percent. Operations feeding cattle declined 40 percent from 1978 to 1992. Despite fewer farms, production was generally stable for most commodities with changes that reflected shifts in consumer demand for livestock products. With fewer farms producing more product, structural change in the production of most major livestock commodities was substantial. However, the magnitude and geography of change varied by commodity.
Full-dimensional quantum scattering calculations on ultracold atom-molecule collisions in magnetic fields: The role of molecular vibrations

description: Rigorous quantum scattering calculations on ultracold molecular collisions in external fields present an outstanding computational problem due to strongly anisotropic atom-molecule interactions that depend on the relative orientation of the collision partners, as well as on their vibrational degrees of freedom. Here, we present the first numerically exact three-dimensional quantum scattering calculations on strongly anisotropic atom-molecule (Li+CaH) collisions in an external magnetic field based on the parity-adapted total angular momentum representation and a new three-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) for the triplet Li-CaH collision complex using the unrestricted coupled cluster method with single, double and perturbative triple excitations [UCCSD(T)] and a large quadruple-zeta type basis set. We find that while the full three-dimensional treatment is necessary for the accurate description of Li ($M_S=1/2$)+CaH ($v=0,N=0,M_S=1/2$) collisions as a function of magnetic field, the magnetic resonance density and statistical properties of spin-polarized atom-molecule collisions are not strongly affected by vibrational degrees of freedom, justifying the rigid-rotor approximation used in previous calculations. We observe rapid, field-insensitive vibrational quenching in ultracold Li ($M_S=1/2$)+CaH ($v=1,N=0, M_S=1/2$) collisions, leading to efficient collisional cooling of CaH vibrations.

description: We rigorously derive linear elasticity as a low energy limit of pure traction nonlinear elasticity. Unlike previous results, we do not impose any restrictive assumptions on the forces, and obtain a full $Γ$-convergence result. The analysis relies on identifying the correct reference configuration to linearize about, and studying its relation to the rotations preferred by the forces (optimal rotations). The $Γ$-limit is the standard linear elasticity model, plus a term that penalizes for fluctuations of the reference configurations from the optimal rotations. However, on minimizers this additional term is zero and the limit energy reduces to standard linear elasticity.

description: We continue our investigation of the quantum equivalence between commutative and noncommutative Chern-Simons theories by computing the complete set of two-loop quantum corrections to the correlation function of a pure open Wilson line and an open Wilson line with a field strength insertion, on the noncommutative side in a covariant gauge. The conjectured perturbative equivalence between the free commutative theory and the apparently interacting noncommutative one requires that the sum of these corrections vanish, and herein we exhibit the remarkable cancellations that enforce this. From this computation we speculate on the form of a possible all-order result for this simplest nonvanishing correlator of gauge invariant observables.

description: Due to its exceptional mechanical, optical, high thermal, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric properties, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is used in a variety of optoelectronic devices as a matrix to support the functional material nanoparticles. In this study, a solution casting technique was used to fabricate thin films of both pristine and PVDF/titania nanotubes (SDTNs) nanocomposite with different loading; 0.1%, 0.2%, 1.0%, and 2.0 wt.%. The SDTNs having 12 nm average diameters were produced by hydrothermal possessing, acid washing, and annealing at 400 °C. The films exhibit smooth surfaces with a uniform dispersion of SDTNs within the polymer matrix. The FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of both α and β phases in SDTNs/PVDF composites, where the α phase was the predominant. The optical band gap energy (Eg) of PVDF film was 5.59 eV and decreased with increasing SDTNs loading, attaining the lowest value of 4.59 eV at 2.0 wt.%. The addition of SDTNs is found to enhance the optical conductivity, refractive index, and dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of SDTNs/PVDF film is significantly increased from 13.8 to 23 at only 2.0% filler loading (at 1 kHz). This study highlights the potential for the use of SDTNs in forming SDTNs/PVDF composite films suitable for applications in piezoelectric energy harvesting and energy storage materials.

description: Quantum cluster approaches offer new perspectives to study the complexities of macroscopic correlated fermion systems. These approaches can be understood as generalized mean-field theories. Quantum cluster approaches are non-perturbative and are always in the thermodynamic limit. Their quality can be systematically improved, and they provide complementary information to finite size simulations. They have been studied intensively in recent years and are now well established. After a brief historical review, this article comparatively discusses the nature and advantages of these cluster techniques. Applications to common models of correlated electron systems are reviewed.

title: Rhythmic Haptic Cueing for Gait Rehabilitation of Hemiparetic Stroke and Brain Injury Survivors
Creators: name: Georgiou, Theodoros
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis explores the gait rehabilitation of hemiparetic stroke and brain injury survivors by a process of haptic entrainment to rhythmic cues. Entrainment to auditory metronomes is known to improve gait; this thesis presents the first systematic study of entrainment for gait rehabilitation via the haptic modality. To investigate this approach, a multi-limb metronome capable of delivering a steady, isochronous haptic rhythm to alternating legs was developed, purpose-built for gait rehabilitation, together with appropriate software for monitoring and assessing gait. A formative observational study, carried out at a specialised neurological centre, supplemented by discussions with physiotherapists and neuropsychologists, was used to focus the scope on hemiparetic stroke and brain injury. A second formative study used a technology probe approach to explore the behaviour of hemiparetic participants under haptic cueing using a pre-existing prototype. Qualitative data was collected by observation of, and discussion with, participants and health professionals. In preparation for a quantitative gait study, a formal experiment was carried out to identify a workable range for haptic entrainment. This led to the creation of a procedure to screen out those with cognitive difficulties entraining to a rhythm, regardless of their walking ability. The final study was a quantitative gait study combining temporal and spatial data on haptically cued participants with hemiparetic stroke and brain injury. Gait characteristics were measured before, during and after cueing. All successfully screened participants were able to synchronise their steps to a haptically presented rhythm. For a substantial proportion of participants, an immediate (though not necessarily lasting) improvement of temporal gait characteristics was found during cueing. Some improvements over baseline occurred immediately afterwards, rather than during, haptic cueing. Design issues and trade-offs are identified, and interactions between perception, sensory deficit, attention, memory, cognitive load and haptic entrainment are noted.

description: We will use Fisher information to properly analyze the quantum weak equivalence principle. We argue that gravitational waves will be partially reflected by superconductors. This will occur as the violation of the weak equivalence principle in Cooper pairs is larger than the surrounding ionic lattice. Such reflections of virtual gravitational waves by superconductors can produce a gravitational Casimir effect, which may be detected using currently available technology.

description: Within the framework of an exact general relativistic formulation of gluing manifolds, we consider the problem of matching an inhomogeneous overdense region to a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background universe in the general spherical symmetric case of pressure-free models. It is shown that, in general, the matching is only possible through a thin shell, a fact ignored in the literature. In addition to this, in subhorizon cases where the matching is possible, an intermediate underdense region will necessarily arise.

Coming of age in a time of trouble : the Bildungsroman of Su Tong and Yu Hua
Creators: name: Li, Hua
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The focus of this study is coming-of-age in a time of trouble reflected in contemporary Chinese Chengzhang xiaoshuo/Bildungsroman fiction. Selected works of two major Chinese writers--Su Tong and Yu Hua--are treated as cultural metaphors that reflect on the growth and future of Chinese youth in an abnormal era--the Cultural Revolution--and how they deviate from Mao Zedong's promotion of the "morning sun at eight or nine o'clock" and "the socialist new man." The chief scholarly significance of studying these writers' coming-of-age stories are two. First, this study will expand the boundaries of studies of the literary genre of Bildungsroman. By referring two Chinese authors' stories to the theoretical corpus of the Bildungsroman, I explore the interaction between the literary genre and individual Chinese literary works, and demonstrate how these Chinese stories enrich the Bildungsroman literary genre by providing a body of parodic chengzhang xiaoshuo. Second, this study will contribute to our understanding of the social history of the Cultural Revolution, the two writers providing an alternative perspective to show the disastrous effects of Chinese Cultural Revolution on the Chinese people, especially the young. The methodology of this dissertation is a combination of close readings of original Chinese literary texts and literary analysis informed by scholarship on the Bildungsroman genre and psychological and sociological theories of adolescence.

description: In the Tolman model there exist two quite different branches of solutions - generic Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) ones and T-spheres as a special case. We show that, nonetheless, T-spheres can be obtained as a limit of the class of LTB solutions having no origin and extending to infinity with the areal radius approaching constant. It is shown that all singularities of T-models are inherited from those of corresponding LBT solutions. In doing so, the disc type singularity of a T-sphere is the analog of shell-crossing.

description: The Fourier transform of the density-density correlation function in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) analog black hole is a useful tool to investigate correlations between the Hawking particles and their partners. It can be expressed in terms of $\langle ^{\text{out}}\hat{a}_{\text{up}}^{\text{ext}}\ ^{\text{out}}\hat{a}_{\text{up}}^{\text{int}} \rangle$, where $^{\text{out}}\hat{a}_{\text{up}}^{\text{ext}}$ is the annihilation operator for the Hawking particle and $^{\text{out}}\hat{a}_{\text{up}}^{\text{int}} $ is the corresponding one for the partner. This basic quantity is calculated for three different models for the BEC flow. It is shown that in each model the inclusion of the effective potential in the mode equations makes a significant difference. Furthermore, particle production induced by this effective potential in the interior of the black hole is studied for each model and shown to be nonthermal. An interesting peak that is related to the particle production and is present in some models is discussed.
