description: Background: Opioid addiction prevention has become an urgent public health priority, with several countries declaring a state of emergency due to rising death tolls from opioid abuse. Reducing the risk of developing addiction among opioid-naïve patients exposed to prescribed opioids during the process of medical care may be an important primary prevention strategy. Our objective is to synthesize the available evidence about factors associated with the development of addiction among patients first exposed to prescribed opioids, with a focus on opioid-naïve patients. Methods: We will perform a systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and other databases in collaboration with a health information specialist using a comprehensive search strategy. We will also supplement our search with a scan of the grey literature to identify relevant ongoing and unpublished studies. We will include studies reporting on risk factors for opioid addiction in patients prescribed opioid analgesic therapy through a prescription from a licensed medical professional, with a focus on opioid-naïve patients. We will exclude studies focusing on patients who are first exposed to illicit opioids, those who use prescription opioids for cancer pain, and/or who are palliative. Two reviewers will independently review titles, abstracts, and full texts for inclusion and exclusion criteria. They will then extract data from included full texts using standardized piloted data extraction forms and assess study quality through risk of bias assessment. We will synthesize the effect sizes of risk factors derived from clinically homogenous studies with similar designs and the remaining ones qualitatively. Discussion: Understanding risk factors for opioid addiction among patients who require analgesia has the potential to inform clinical care and opioid prescribing guidelines aiming to reduce opioid addiction. We will also use this information as a starting point for developing interventions for primary prevention.

description: Sambey’s Law (ICUF) is N + ξ = reality: events (N ) plus coherence (ξ) define real-ity—simple as 1+1=2. Inanimate matter (atoms, 10 events) holds tight with low input,while life (brains, 10¹ events/day, 1 × 10¹² bits) resets via sleep or rest. Order matches—10²J/K (quantum), 10¹³ J/K (brain)—across interactive singularities. Brains predict, dream,reset; rocks just endure. Everything fits, linked, real.

description: 60 years ago, in 1958, Ernest Rabinowicz published a 5 page paper titled “The effect of size on the looseness of wear fragments” where he suggested a criterion determining the minimum size of wear particles. The criterion of Rabinowicz is based on the consideration of the interplay of elastic energy stored in “asperities” and the work of separation needed for detaching a wear particle. He was probably the first researcher who explicitly emphasized the role of adhesion in friction and wear. In a recent paper in Nature Communications , Aghababaei, Warner and Molinari confirmed the criterion of Rabinowicz by means of quasi-molecular dynamics and illustrated the exact mechanism of the transition from plastic smoothing to formation of wear debris. This latter paper promoted the criterion of Rabinowicz to a new paradigm for current studies of adhesive wear. The size arguments of Rabinowicz can be applied in the same form also to many other problems, such as brittle-ductile transition during indentation, cutting of materials or ultimate strength of nano-composites.

Reparations for Cultural Loss to Survivors of Indian Residential Schools
Creators: name: Mallam, Andrew J

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Law.
subject: Native American Studies.

description: This paper is an investigation into appropriate forms of reparation to compensate survivors and descendants of survivors of Indian Residential Schools for loss of culture. Indian Residential Schools perpetrated serious individual abuses upon pupils; however, Aboriginal peoples as a group also sustained a serious harm -- an injury to their culture. Whereas tort law and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms have provided redress for individual losses, a group-oriented reparations solution is required to compensate for cultural loss. This paper will set out the historical record of the school policy, and investigate the nature of the loss, i.e. culture, and its intergenerational relationships. The methods by which common law courts have dealt with contemporary cultural loss claims will be outlined, as well as the reparations scheme that has been implemented by the Canadian government. After analyzing the legal and non-legal responses to claims for loss of culture, a legislative solution will be offered that aims to protect and promote Aboriginal culture as it stands in Canada today.

description: An impact of an elastic sphere with an elastic half space under no-slip conditions (infinitely large coefficient of friction) is studied numerically using the method of dimensionality reduction. It is shown that the rebound velocity and angular velocity, written as proper dimensionless variables, are determined by a function of only the ratio of tangential and normal stiffness ("Mindlin-ratio"). The obtained numerical results can be approximated by a simple analytical expression.

description: La technologie évolue sans cesse et de nouveaux moyens technologiques maintenant accessibles en classe soulèvent du même coup de nouveaux enjeux pédagogiques. Cette recherche qualitative visait à étudier comment l'utilisation d'un environnement informatisé permettant l'analyse de vidéos numériques affecte l'apprentissage chez des élèves de 10e année dans un contexte d'apprentissage mathématique lié aux fonctions quadratiques. En dyade, les élèves ont eu à résoudre divers problèmes, faisant appel ou non à la vidéo numérique, en lien avec des situations décrivant un mouvement. Parmi les tendances qui semblent se dégager en ce qui concerne l'analyse de telles situations à partir de vidéos numériques, on remarque la mise en place d'une résolution de problèmes dynamique à l'intérieur de laquelle se présente naturellement plusieurs possibilités de clarification de concepts rattachés aux mathématiques ainsi qu'au domaine de la cinématique en physique.
Wave blocking phenomenon: A dynamical systems approach

Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: Traveling waves are an intricate part of many physical phenomena such as electrical impulses in nervous tissue and cardiac muscle, many chemical reactions and the action potential in certain types of conductors. The problem of propagation failure of such waves due to various perturbations, also known as wave blocking, remains a relatively elusive concept that is nevertheless observed in experiments. Some model specific research has been conducted on the subject, most of which utilizes numerical tools. The object of this thesis is to adopt a symmetry based approach to obtain results that are much more general. We study the effect of a symmetry breaking perturbation acting on an ODE with translational symmetry, modeling a traveling wave. We show that for a large class of such systems, the wave blocking phenomenon can be explained by the presence of saddle-node bifurcations of solutions on a carefully chosen invariant curve. We achieve this by using symmetry reduction tools as well as properties of center manifolds.

description: Background: Globally, cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality. High treatment cost, partly owing to higher prices of anti-cancer drugs, presents a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems. The aim of the present study was to survey and compare retail prices of anti-cancer drugs between high, middle and low income countries in the South-East Asia, Western Pacific and Eastern Mediterranean regions. Methods: Cross-sectional survey design was used for the present study. Pricing data from ten counties including one from South-East Asia, two from Western Pacific and seven from Eastern Mediterranean regions were used in this study. Purchasing power parity (PPP)-adjusted mean unit prices for 26 anti-cancer drug presentations (similar pharmaceutical form, strength, and pack size) were used to compare prices of anti-cancer drugs across three regions. A structured form was used to extract relevant data. Data were entered and analysed using Microsoft Excel®. Results: Overall, Taiwan had the lowest mean unit prices while Oman had the highest prices. Six (23.1%) and nine (34.6%) drug presentations had a mean unit price below US$100 and between US$100 and US$500 respectively. Eight drug presentations (30.7%) had a mean unit price of more than US$1000 including cabazitaxel with a mean unit price of $17,304.9/vial. There was a direct relationship between income category of the countries and their mean unit price; low-income countries had lower mean unit prices. The average PPP-adjusted unit prices for countries based on their income level were as follows: low middle-income countries (LMICs): US$814.07; high middle income countries (HMICs): US$1150.63; and high income countries (HICs): US$1148.19. Conclusions: There is a great variation in pricing of anticancer drugs in selected countires and within their respective regions. These findings will allow policy makers to compare prices of anti-cancer agents with neighbouring countries and develop policies to ensure accessibility and affordability of anti-cancer drugs.
Examining equity in USDA conservation funding

Agricultural Conservation

description: This study examines the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and how the funding it provides is distributed both socially and geographically. This study has a particular emphasis on investigating how the nature of EQIP contracts might vary depending on a producers' race or ethnicity. It is determined whether there are issues of inequity within the program's funding records, and the degree to which the limited data available can assess this. Agricultural producers of all kinds are facing a range of challenges as the price of farmland continues to rise, the agricultural system further consolidates, and the financial risk involved for those operating small landholdings rises. While all farmers face impending hardship, the challenges for farmers of color and other underserved groups are compounded by historically having agricultural aid and resources withheld from them. Some efforts have been made to improve equity in USDA programs, but vigilance in identifying areas of potential inequity remains important, both to hold the USDA accountable and to identify where additional improvements can be made. This work contributes to that effort by investigating this under-studied program in its funding rate and conservation practices as they differ for producers of different social and racial backgrounds. It is indicated that socially underserved producers are eligible for greater funding amounts under EQIP. Results support that these producers are funded at higher rates, but results vary depending on how funding is calculated at the level of geography that is studied. More transparency from the NRCS on EQIP funding would allow for a more comprehensive assessment of equity.

Associations of electronic cigarette use, menthol cigarette use, and cardiovascular outcomes
Creators: name: Du, Yang
Publisher: name: University of Iowa

Subjects: public abstract

description: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. Cigarette smoking is one the most significant modifiable risk factors for CVD. Due to the decades of efforts towards tobacco control, there have been significant declines in conventional cigarette smoking. However, the increasing prevalence of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and menthol cigarettes may have negated the impact of tobacco control on CVD. Emerging evidence, although still sparse and inconsistent, suggests associations between electronic cigarettes, menthol cigarettes and cardiovascular outcomes. The objective of this research was to characterize CVD risk among adults who use e-cigarettes or menthol cigarettes.
description: First, I examined the association of e-cigarette use with CVD among U.S. adults using prospective data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study. After adjustment for demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle factors and other chronic conditions, I found a significant association of e-cigarette use with incident CVD. Second, I examined the association of menthol cigarette use with CVD among U.S. adults using prospective data from the PATH study. After adjustment for demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle factors and other chronic conditions, smoking menthol cigarettes did not increase CVD risk compared with smoking non-menthol cigarettes. Third, using data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), I examined the association between menthol cigarette use and cardiovascular mortality among U.S. adults. I found that the risks for CVD death were comparable between menthol cigarette smokers and non-menthol cigarette smokers.
description: In summary, this study indicates that e-cigarette use is a potential risk factor associated with increased CVD risk, relative to not smoking. In addition, the risks of CVD morbidity and mortality were comparable between menthol cigarette smokers and non-menthol cigarette smokers. If these findings are replicated and confirmed in other studies, individuals using e-cigarettes should be considered as a target population to reduce CVD burden, and continued efforts for smoking cessation (menthol and non-menthol cigarettes) are still needed.

description: In the nineteenth century, spiritualism spread throughout the U.S.; the world of spirits was close at hand. The titular figures of spiritualism were its women mediums, who communicated with spirits of the dead. This project examines spiritualist mediums of another kind: spiritualist women who wrote about spirit communication, mediating religious knowledge and power. By examining how these women communicated through writing and material media, I argue that nineteenth century spiritualist mediums were at work not only on the stage, but in the pages of U.S. American literature.
description: Women mediums were perceived as pliant and easily influenced, reflecting broader cultural concerns about feminine vulnerability. Yet, many women practiced mediumship because it offered opportunities for public speaking, religious authority, and financial gain, implicitly threatening masculine domination of religious experience. I argue that spiritualist women writers, like “traditional” mediums, also challenged hierarchical, masculine religious structures. I build on previous research about spiritualism, literature, and media to demonstrate that women’s writing practice was an extension of their bodily experience. Focusing on the personal, autobiographical, and fiction writing of spiritualist women, I propose that women used gendered material media—including pens, planchettes, the senses, and sewing needles—to extend the boundaries of spiritualist practice. These material media were objects of spiritualist practice that reflected women’s bodily knowing. This project illustrates that women used spiritualism, material media, and writing to define themselves and their religious experiences. By crafting religious imaginaries that both critiqued and reinforced interlocking systems of oppression in the U.S., these women defined spiritualism as thoroughly as they defined themselves.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: Biodiesel is a recommended petroleum-based diesel substitute mainly because it is environmentally friendly and is a renewable, domestic resource. However, compared to petroleum-based diesel, biodiesel has a higher cost, which is the major obstacle to its commercialization. In this thesis, four different continuous alkali- and acid-catalyzed processes to produce biodiesel from virgin vegetable oil and waste cooking oil were designed and simulated. Process flowsheets, along with detailed operating conditions and equipment designs for each process were created. Technical assessment of these processes showed that the alkali-catalyzed process using virgin oil required the least amount of process equipment and no significant requirement for special materials of construction but had the highest raw material cost. The acid-catalyzed process using waste cooking oil proved to be technically feasible with a significantly lower raw material cost but required forty percent of the process equipment to be constructed from stainless steel. An economic assessment was also performed based on the results of process simulations. The alkali-catalyzed process using virgin vegetable oil was found to have the lowest fixed capital cost. However, in terms of total manufacturing cost, aftertax rate of return and break-even price of biodiesel, the acid-catalyzed process using waste cooking oil had the lowest operating cost, the best aftertax rate of return (i.e., 10%) and the lowest break-even price (i.e., $590/tonne). In summary, the acid-catalyzed process to produce biodiesel from waste cooking oil is technically feasible and economically attractive. Results from the sensitivity analyses of the various processes indicated that plant capacity, the price of feedstock oil and biodiesel price were the factors that most significantly affected the economic feasibility of biodiesel production.

description: Background Borna disease virus (BDV) is an evolutionary old RNA virus, which infects brain and blood cells of humans, their primate ancestors, and other mammals. Human infection has been correlated to mood disorders and schizophrenia, but the impact of BDV on mental-health still remains controversial due to poor methodological and cross-national comparability. Method This first report from the Middle East aimed to determine BDV infection prevalence in Iranian acute psychiatric disorder patients and healthy controls through circulating immune complexes (CIC), antibodies (Ab) and antigen (pAg) in blood plasma using a standardized triple enzyme immune assay (EIA). Samples of 314 subjects (114 psychiatric cases, 69 blood donors, and 131 healthy controls) were assayed and data analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Results CICs revealed a BDV prevalence of one third (29.5%) in healthy Iranian controls (27.5% controls; 33.3% blood donors). In psychiatric patients CIC prevalence was higher than in controls (40.4%) and significantly correlating with bipolar patients exhibiting overt clinical symptoms (p = 0.005, OR = 1.65). CIC values were significantly elevated in bipolar (p = 0.001) and major depressive disorder (p = 0.029) patients as compared to controls, and in females compared to males (p = 0.031). Conclusion This study supports a similarly high prevalence of subclinical human BDV infections in Iran as reported for central Europe, and provides again an indication for the correlation of BDV infection and mood disorders. Further studies should address the morbidity risk for healthy carriers and those with elevated CIC levels, along with gender disparities.

The light chain of MAP1A binds to and stabilizes microtubules.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Neuroscience.

description: Microtubule-associated protein 1A (MAP1A) is expressed in the nervous system during development and its expression parallels an increase in microtubule (MT) stability. Previous studies (Vaillant et al., 1998) revealed that the entire MAP1A protein complex represented by heavy chain and light chain (LC2) and the MAP1A heavy chain alone bind to MTs and have moderate effects on MT stability. To determine if LC2 alone can bind to MTs in vivo, we expressed EGFP-tagged LC2 by transient transfection in HeLa cells. Fluorescence microscopy showed that EGFP-LC2 binds to MTs and alters their distribution. EGFP-LC2 had some effect on intermediate filament distribution, but no effect on actin. EGFP-LC2 also induced formation of stable MTs, as shown by their resistance to the effects of nocodazole and taxol. Co-transfection studies showed that LC2 bound to the N-terminus (AAs 1--281) of MAP1A heavy chain, and that the heavy chain might regulate LC2 activities, by greatly reducing LC2 effects on MTs.

Study of Trellis Coded Modulation and error control coding.
Creators: name: Trichard, Marc Henri.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: In this thesis, we examine some general theoretical features of Trellis Coded Modulation. The codes in use are the recursive Ungerboeck convolutional codes and they are combined with Quadrature Amplitude Modulation over an Additive White Gaussian Noise channel. The search of optimum mappings is first treated and the question of having some smaller punctured constellations from a larger one is considered. Performance evaluation of TCM codes is provided according to geometric conditions that the mappings must stand in order to reduce the complexity of the calculation. Computation of transfer function is provided and this leads to a theoretical analysis for probability expressions of even, symbol and bit errors. A second order term expression is also elaborated which takes into consideration both error events on the trellis and errors on parallel transitions. Computer simulations have been run along with High Density Television transmission parameters. The results are presented and discussed. The use of error control coding techniques makes a great improvement in performance. For this purpose, Reed-Solomon codes have been concatenated with TCM codes, and gone through interleaving to ensure a higher error recovery efficiency.

Facing the uncertainty of CO2 storage capacity in China by developing different storage scenarios

Subjects: China

description: China is very active in the research and development of CO2 capture and storage technologies (CCS). However, existing estimates for CO2 storage capacity are very uncertain. This uncertainty is due to limited geological knowledge, a lack of large-scale research on CO2 injection, and different assessment approaches and parameter settings. Hence storage scenarios represent a method that can be used by policy makers to demonstrate the range of possible storage capacity developments, to help interpret uncertain results and to identify the limitations of existing assessments. In this paper, three storage scenarios are developed for China by evaluating China-wide studies supplemented with more detailed site- and basin-specific assessments. It is estimated that the greatest storage potential can be found in deep saline aquifers. Oil and gas fields may also be used. Coal seams are only included in the highest storage scenario. In total, the scenarios presented demonstrate that China has an effective storage capacity of between 65 and 1551 Gt of CO2. Furthermore, the authors emphasise a need for action to harmonise storage capacity assessment approaches due to the uncertainties involved in the capacity assessments analysed in this study.

Accelerated simulation of a leaky bucket controller.

Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: The leaky bucket controller has been proposed to shape traffic entering an ATM network. Cells arrive at the leaky bucket controller according to a superposition of a group of heterogeneous Markov modulated sources (modeled by a multidimensional Markov process). The bucket capacity is L tokens. Every time slot the bucket leaks s tokens. If a cell arrives I tokens are added to the bucket unless it overflows. A cells producing an overflow is marked nonconforming and no tokens are added. The proportion of nonconforming cells and the mean time between nonconforming cells are significant for evaluating the performance of the leaky bucket. Such parameters can be approximated by developing a change of measure to transform a recurrent process into a transient one. For this twisted process, the event until overflow is no longer a rare event and can be simulated efficiently. We can now give a formula for calculating the proportion of cells which are nonconforming as well as the mean time between bursts of nonconforming cells.

description: It is becoming increasingly clear that the mechanical properties of their environment play a crucial role in determining cellular behaviour and coordination. Notably, the stiffness of the underlying substrate has been shown to determine the specialisation of stem cells, overriding chemical cues over an extended period of time: mesenchymal stem cells develop into brain-like cell types when cultivated on extremely soft substrates and more bone-like cell types on stiffer substrates. Throughout the body cells are influenced by the mechanical properties of their surroundings eg osteoporosis has been linked to mechanical changes in bone tissue and the ageing of stem cells within the central nervous system with the stiffening of their microenvironment. Further, understanding these differences in cell behaviour is crucial for tissue engineering applications and to understand how the mechanical microenvironment may affect cancer growth and invasion. Cells probe the mechanical properties of their environment by the transmission of internally generated contractile forces from the cytoskeleton to the exterior. I develop an elasticity theory-based model to describe this mechanosensory mechanism, which I analyse and solve using both analytical and computational methods. I consider the distribution of adhesion throughout a cell to recreate cell shapes and deformations that are consistent with those experimentally observed. I use the model to predict observed cellular adaptations to changes in mechanical properties of the underlying gel. I show that the distribution of adhesion points between the cell and substrate naturally affects the resultant cellular deformation and resultant cellular stiffness sensing. Specifically, increasing the adhered area effectively increases the resistance experienced by a cell while large gaps between adhered regions reduce the resistance experienced. Further, energy considerations have significant implications for the optimisation of cell adhesion.
Unmasking the role of ubiquitin in mammalian systems

description: Ubiquitination is a highly regulated post-translational modification that impinges on a variety of cellular processes. Commonly known for its role in proteolysis, recent studies emphasize the versatility of ubiquitin in non-proteolysic aspects of cell function. Some of these proteolysic-independent roles have been highlighted in recent publications as being critical mediators in stress response pathways including those of DNA repair and NF-kappaB activation. In these seemingly unrelated pathways it has been shown that a noncanonical linear chain linked through lysine 63(K63) is required in the assembly of multi-subunit complexes which allow eukaryotes to tolerate DNA damage or elicit an immune response. Because the functionality of ubiquitin chains is constrained by length and topology, alteration of these properties greatly alters these cellular pathways. In order to understand the role of these chains in mammalian cells we introduced mutant ubiquitin proteins that interfere with specific properties of ubiquitin chain assembly. These dominant negative mutants revealed interesting biological effects. Here we demonstrate that in human cells, as in yeast, PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) is polyubiquitinated via K63. Disruption of K63-linked chains impairs the error-free arm of a DNA damage tolerance (DDT) pathway resulting in an increased reliance on error-prone translesion synthesis (TLS), which has significant implications on mutagenesis particularly and in response to common environmental carcinogens such as UV light and BPDE. As a result of our cell culture studies, we have generated transgenic mice expressing the K63R mutant form of ubiquitin to more directly test its roles in cancer development and impaired NF-kappaB induction in vivo. Recently, several members of error-free DDT including POLeta, SHPRH, hRAD6, hRAD18 have been linked to cancer and the likelihood of chemotherapeutic success in patients. Accordingly, future drug targeting of the error-free DDT pathway in cancer could be of tremendous therapeutic benefit.

description: Brain damage due to stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI), both leading causes of serious long-term disability, often leads to the development of epilepsy. Patients who develop post-injury epilepsy tend to have poor functional outcomes. Emerging evidence highlights a potential role for blood- brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction in the development of post-injury epilepsy. However, common mechanisms underlying the pathological hyperexcitability are largely unknown. Here, we show that comparative transcriptome analyses predict remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) as a common response to different types of injuries. ECM-related transcriptional changes were induced by the serum protein albumin via TGFβ signaling in primary astrocytes. In accordance with transcriptional responses, we found persistent degradation of protective ECM structures called perineuronal nets (PNNs) around fast-spiking inhibitory interneurons, in a rat model of TBI as well as in brains of human epileptic patients. Exposure of a naïve brain to albumin was sufficient to induce the transcriptional and translational upregulation of molecules related to ECM remodeling and the persistent breakdown of PNNs around fast-spiking inhibitory interneurons, which was contingent on TGFβ signaling activation. Our findings provide insights on how albumin extravasation that occurs upon BBB dysfunction in various brain injuries can predispose neural circuitry to the development of chronic inhibition deficits.
Variations in tropospheric submicron particle size distributions across the European continent 2008-2009

description: Cluster~analysis of particle number size distributions from~background sites across Europe~is presented. This generated a total of nine clusters of particle size distributions which could be further combined into two main groups, namely: a south-to-north category (four clusters) and a west-to-east category (five clusters). The first group was identified as most frequently being detected inside and around northern Germany and neighbouring countries, showing clear evidence of local afternoon nucleation and growth events that could be linked to movement of air masses from south to north arriving ultimately at the Arctic contributing to Arctic haze.~The second group of particle size spectra proved to have narrower size distributions and collectively showed a dependence of modal diameter upon the longitude of the site (west to east) at which they were most frequently detected.~These clusters indicated regional nucleation (at the coastal sites) growing to larger modes further inland. The apparent growth rate of the modal diameter was around 0.6-0.9 nm h-1.
Four specific air mass back-trajectories were successively taken as case studies to examine in real time the evolution of aerosol size distributions across Europe. ~While aerosol growth processes can be observed as aerosol traverses Europe, the processes are often obscured by the addition of aerosol by emissions en route. This study revealed that some of the 24 stations exhibit more complex behaviour than others, especially when impacted by local sources or a variety of different air masses. Overall, the aerosol size distribution clustering analysis greatly simplifies the complex data set and allows a description of aerosol aging processes, which reflects the longer-term average development of particle number size distributions as air masses advect across Europe.Quelle: http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net
