description: In recent years, a growing zoo of compact stellar systems (CSSs) have been found whose physical properties (mass, size, velocity dispersion) place them between classical globular clusters (GCs) and true galaxies, leading to debates about their nature. Here we present results using a so far underutilized discriminant, their stellar population properties. Based on new spectroscopy from 8-10m telescopes, we derive ages, metallicities, and [alpha/Fe] of 29 CSSs. These range from GCs with sizes of merely a few parsec to compact ellipticals (cEs) larger than M32. Together with a literature compilation, this provides a panoramic view of the stellar population characteristics of early-type systems. We find that the CSSs are predominantly more metal rich than typical galaxies at the same stellar mass. At high mass, the cEs depart from the mass-metallicity relation of massive early-type galaxies, which forms a continuous sequence with dwarf galaxies. At lower mass, the metallicity distribution of ultracompact dwarfs (UCDs) changes at a few times 10(7) M-circle dot, which roughly coincides with the mass where luminosity function arguments previously suggested the GC population ends. The highest metallicities in CSSs are paralleled only by those of dwarf galaxy nuclei and the central parts of massive early types. These findings can be interpreted as CSSs previously being more massive and undergoing tidal interactions to obtain their current mass and compact size. Such an interpretation is supported by CSSs with direct evidence for tidal stripping, and by an examination of the CSS internal escape velocities.

description: In this thesis, we introduce gl2-skein theory, originally introduced by [QW18], by explicitly going into detail of the representation theory that underlies the gl2-skein algebra and showing how one could arrive at the diagrams.
description: After this, we compute the action of the gl2-skein algebra of the torus on the gl2-skein module of the solid torus. As a result, we show that gl2-skein modules of lens spaces are spanned by ([p / 2]+1)(2 [p / 2]+1) elements.

public abstract

description: Telehealth may increase the reach of applied behavior analytic services to underserved populations living in remote areas. An important applied behavior analytic service is performing a functional analysis, which aids in determining the variables that evoke and maintain dangerous behavior. To be proficient in any applied behavior analytic procedure, one must be trained to a criterion deemed acceptable, and behavioral skills training is a training procedure that can sufficiently train individuals to reach proficiency. A participant underwent behavioral skills training via telehealth to improve their intervention fidelity in conducting a latency functional analysis in a study using a concurrent multiple probe design across behaviors design. Following behavioral skills training, the participant improved in intervention fidelity for each condition of the latency functional analysis. Implications for practice and directions for future research are discussed following results.

description: A new formalism is introduced describe the physical and geometric content of quantum spacetime. It is based in the Minimum Group Representation Principle. New results for entanglement and geometrical/topological phases are found and implemented in cosmological and black hole space-times. Our main results here are: (i) The Berry phases for inflation, for the cosmological perturbations, and its expression in terms of observables, as the spectral scalar and tensor indices, $n_S$ an $n_T$, and their ratio $r$. The Berry phase for de Sitter inflation is imaginary, its sign describing the exponential acceleration. (ii) The pure entangled states in the minimum group (metaplectic) $Mp(n)$ representation for quantum de Sitter space-time and black holes are found. (iii) For entanglement, the relation between the Schmidt type representation and the physical states of the $Mp(n)$ group is found: This is a new non-diagonal coherent state representation complementary to the known Sudarshan diagonal one. (iv) The mean $Mp(2)$ generator values are related to the space-time topological charge. (v) The basic even and odd $n$ -sectors of the Hilbert space are intrinsic to the quantum spacetime and its discrete levels (continuum for $n \rightarrow \infty$) and are it entangled. (vi) The gravity or cosmological domains on one side and another of the Planck scale are entangled. Examples: The primordial quantum trans-Planckian de Sitter vacuum and the late classical gravity de Sitter vacuum today; the central quantum reqion and the external classical region of black holes. The classical and quantum dual gravity regions of the space-time are entangled. (vii) The general classical-quantum gravity duality is associated to the Metaplectic $Mp(n)$ group symmetry which provides the complete full covering of the phase space and of the quantum space-time mapped from it.

description: In the early twentieth century, water ballet, an athletic and creative endeavor set to music, became popular among women across the United States. This study provides new knowledge of water ballet’s historical practices through examination of the music used at the largest performances including the Billy Rose Aquacades, Minneapolis Aqua Follies, and numerous performances on film starring figures including Annette Kellerman and Esther Williams. It analyzes scores, scripts, advertisements, and reviews from these performances in combination with pedagogical texts such as those by Olive McCormick and Katharine Whitney Curtis to understand the cultural constructions of gender produced when music was paired with movement in the water. Just as swimming became more rhythmic, water ballet emerged as an extension of dance that used tropes from ballet, including the waltz, and pas de deux. Performances were often accompanied by vocal music. Sung by men, these songs described the female body and defined ideals for heterosexual relationships. Water ballet’s music helped to justify the male gaze as seen in films such as Footlight Parade, Texas Carnival, and Dangerous When Wet. Moreover, water ballet constructed an outlet for an indiscriminate exoticism where racial and cultural stereotypes were combined with fantasy to create generalized “others” suitable for consumption. Despite the athleticism and labor of countless women, early water ballet often served the purposes of men and perpetuated patriarchal structures. With music that emphasized beauty and submission rather than the strength and stamina required to perform in the water, water ballet left women’s songs unsung.

description: The need to curb natural resources depletion and climate change and secure a healthy living space for an ever growing human society has become a global challenge which increases the demand to minimise waste generation and manage arising wastes effectively and sustainably on a worldwide scale. This task applies to all countries independently from their status of development. Many countries are therefore faced with the necessity to initiate a process of transformation from the conventional scheme of waste disposal through simple dumping or landfilling towards the gradual implementation of a closed loop management of their wastes.

description: The residential status of a father has been linked to negative internalizing and externalizing behaviors for their children. Previous research has focused on the impact the father has on the child as a cause-and-effect relationship, but this linear notion has been proven inaccurate. This study explores the different dynamics between the father and how the child to assess the impact that residential status, feelings of closeness the child has to the father, and the child’s internalizing and externalizing behaviors interact and predict one another over time. Using the Future of Families and Children Wellbeing Study (FFCWS), this analysis examined the relationships between the father’s residential status (residential or nonresidential), the child’s feelings of closeness at ages 9 and 15, the child’s internalizing behaviors at age 9 and 15, and the child’s externalizing behaviors at ages 9 and 15. Cross-sectional and longitudinal generalized liner models were conducted. Results show that negative internalizing behaviors and externalizing behaviors at age 9 predicted negative internalizing and externalizing behaviors at age 15; residential status significantly impacts internalizing and externalizing behaviors at ages 9 and 15; closeness significantly impacts internalizing behaviors for residential fathers more than nonresidential fathers; and the combination of residential status and internalizing behaviors at age 9 predicts externalizing behaviors at age 15. These results suggest that a focus on the residential status of fathers and the relationship quality between the father and the child is needed to understand how to increase feelings of closeness as well as other factors that may influence the relationship quality overall as this dynamic significantly impacts the child’s internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Future research and clinical implications recommendations are also discussed.

description: Clear-cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs) are genetically heterogeneous tumors presenting diverse clinical courses. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial process involved in initiation of metastatic cascade. The aim of our study was to identify an integrated miRNA/mRNA signature associated with metastasis and prognosis in ccRCC through targeted approach based on analysis of miRNAs/mRNAs associated with EMT. A cohort of 230 ccRCC was included in our study and further divided into discovery, training and validation cohorts. EMT markers were evaluated in ccRCC tumor samples, which were grouped accordingly to EMT status. By use of large-scale miRNA/mRNA expression profiling, we identified miRNA/mRNA with significantly different expression in EMT-positive tumors and selected 41 miRNAs/mRNAs for training phase of the study to evaluate their diagnostic and prognostic potential. Fifteen miRNAs/mRNAs were analyzed in the validation phase, where all evaluated miRNA/mRNA candidates were confirmed to be significantly deregulated in tumor tissue. Some of them significantly differed in metastatic tumors, correlated with clinical stage, with Fuhrman grade and with overall survival. Further, we established an EMT- based stage-independent prognostic scoring system enabling identification of ccRCC patients at high-risk of cancer-related death. Finally, we confirmed involvement of miR-429 in EMT regulation in RCC cells in vitro.

description: Background: Aphasia is an acquired language disorder; a common symptom of this disorder is difficulty in word recall. Abstract noun recall in people with aphasia is typically worse than concrete noun recall (Sandberg & Kiran, 2014). This phenomenon is called the concreteness effect. The concreteness of a noun refers to how well a person can access sensory information about a word (e.g. sight, sound). Different theories provide different explanations of the concreteness effect, but two factors that have been identified as influential are context and imagery. The relative roles of these factors in affecting concrete and abstract word recall are still unclear. To pave the way for future studies aiming to improve language treatments for people with aphasia (PwA), this study will examine how these factors affect word recall in neurotypical young adults.
description: Methods: Participants were 18- to 40-year-old native English speakers with no diagnosed language or memory impairments. Stimuli consisted of abstract and concrete nouns presented in four different conditions: with or without images, and with or without context. Participants were asked to recall and recognize these words later in the experiment. We analyzed recall accuracy, recognition accuracy, and latency with four three-way ANOVAs (2x2x2); the variables were concreteness (concrete vs abstract), modality (visual vs verbal), and context (contextualized vs non-contextualized).
description: Results: We found a consistent main effect of concreteness where concrete words had better accuracy and speed than abstract words. Visual stimuli were recalled more accurately than verbal stimuli. Context interacted with modality such that contextualized sentences had significantly worse outcomes than non-contextualized sentences whereas contextualized images had equal if not slightly better outcomes than non-contextualized images.

description: Healthcare associated infections on medical implants are a serious concern as they can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. These infections can occur when bacteria or other microorganisms attach to the surface of the implant and form a biofilm, which can be difficult to treat with antibiotics and requires multiple surgeries for removal of the infected implant, tissue debridement, and reimplantation of a new device. In-situ thermal elimination of the biofilm is a promising alternative to invasive surgeries. Thermal treatment requires remote delivery of heat at the implant/biofilm interface at a biofilm-eliminating thermal dose which may also cause damage to the tissue adjacent to the biofilm. This work introduces using thermoelectric technology for applying safer thermal shocks as a strategy that enables heating that can be immediately reversed to cool the shocked area and minimize tissue damage. This study used a thermoelectric device to investigate differences in efficacy of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm elimination via thermoelectric surface heating vs previously studied immersion heating and determined the effect of post-thermal shock cooling on thermal susceptibility of the biofilm. Furthermore, a computational model was constructed to guide the design of a thermoelectric thermal shock delivery system. The findings suggest that surface heating is not equivalent to immersion heating, likely due to bacteria fleeing the surface and later returning to avoid some of the thermal exposure. This dispersion from and resettlement to the biofilm is an equilibrium process. A rapid thermally induced spike in bacterial dispersion suggested that although equilibrium between the rates may be temperature independent, the rates themselves may be highly temperature dependent. Studying the kinetics of biofilm/tissue inactivation revealed that inactivation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm occurs at a faster rate compared to damage of muscle tissue. Moreover, it was found that immediate post-shock cooling can be applied to minimize thermal damage without risking the efficacy of thermal destruction of biofilms. Computational modeling of thermoelectric thermal shocks showed that a shorter thermal shock at a higher temperature leads to significantly less thermal damage and that the thermoelectric device may significantly reduce the thermal damage under circumstances where the tissue has poor/impaired blood perfusion.

description: Considering the ecology of Salt Marshes and tidal estuaries, I am exploring the connections of this unique habitat to the experiences of femme-aligned people; because many species adapting to conditions of high salinity and water density, often drained and altered into a landscape for commodity, I make connections to the commodifying and loss of agency in the bodies of femme people. I am also interested in the specific functions of the organisms found in the Salt Marsh, the biomimicry that the sculptural, human-like figures participate in, the resilience of the organisms, and the power brought through their processes in supporting self in place. Specifically, the Cord Grasses support their coastline, filtering toxins out of water, similar to oyster shells' filtration process, and their sharp, protective shell that acts as a weapon. My material usage is almost solely organic, using wood, Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast, charcoal, and discarded bivalves. This material usage speaks for body-making, as each material holds a history of scarring, cracking, and bacterial growth. By allowing the checking of the wood to take form without intervention, I refer to self-harm as the body of wood shifts from its deprivation. These materials also refer to the grotesque or considered grotesque in the landscapes and places I refer to; I am interested in the relationship between human bodies, myself, and these places. Considering rot, fermentation, and contamination– the landscape of the marsh contends with this in its defining self, as do bodies with experiences held in patriarchy.

description: The clinicopathologic, pathobiological, and vernacular definitions of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have struggled to classify this disease for over a century, and we still lack an etiologically-cohesive definition of AD. Early histopathology established the foundation of the “trigger and bullet model” for amyloid-beta and tau, which has dominated and misled the field for decades. The consistent failure of amyloid-beta-targeting drugs reflects the narrow clinicopathological view of AD from which they originate, as we now understand the primary driver of neurodegeneration to be soluble, mislocalized tau. This thesis presents a discussion of the theories driving past and present AD research alongside new evidence for a selective failure of proteostasis specific to the aging brain.
description: It was long theorized that hyperphosphorylated tau was inherently cytotoxic and always a precedent of disease, but we show that such tau exists in the human brain throughout much of neurodevelopment. Despite similarities in phosphorylation, the localization and binding profile of tau differs greatly between the adult and fetal brain. We used histological, proteomic, and biochemical techniques to better characterize one aspect of this diverged behavior: interaction with 14-3-3-beta. We determined that tau/14-3-3-beta interaction is absent in the fetal brain, highly enriched in AD, and requires both tau phosphorylation and inclusion of the 2nd microtubule binding domain repeat. The latter of which is only seen in the mature brain, providing a regulatory mechanism by which this interaction may be upregulated in AD to drive pathological processes.

description: Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a genetically controlled process that eliminates harmful or unwanted cells. This process plays an important role during development by contributing to tissue sculpting and in maintaining homeostasis of cell number in a variety of tissues. Recently, we have identified a family of apoptotic inhibitory proteins, naip, hiap1 & hiap2, and xiap, which are capable of suppressing caspases, key proteolytic mediators of apoptosis. To elucidate a potential role for xiap during development, we have analyzed the expression patterns of the murine equivalent, miap3, at various stages of mouse development. In situ hybridization studies have revealed a ubiquitous expression pattern for miap3 mRNA in a variety of developing organs, including brain, heart, lung, liver, pancreas, intestines and skin. Similar results were observed with wholemount in situ hybridization. In addition, immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that miap3 is widely expressed during embryonic days 9.5 to 16.5. Furthermore, miap3 protein expression was observed in many of the adult mouse tissues and in day 9 to 13 mouse embryos by western blot analysis. These results demonstrate that miap3 is ubiquitously distributed suggesting that it is an essential regulator of cell survival during murine development.

description: En droit canadien, la légitimité de la peine est notamment fondée sur le caractère volontaire de la transgression commise par le justiciable. Rappelons qu'un geste sera jugé volontaire s'il est posé en toute connaissance de cause par son auteur. Ce fondement de la légitimité de la sanction pénale est compromis dans les cas ou l'infraction commise par le justiciable résulte de son ignorance de la norme pénale. En théorie, la communication de la norme pénale par l'État permet d'assurer la légitimité de la peine, car elle offre au justiciable l'opportunité de prendre connaissance de la norme pénale. En pratique, le processus canadien en matière de communication de la norme pénale s'avère incapable d'informer convenablement le justiciable et donc, de légitimer la peine. Deux motifs justifient cette conclusion. D'une part, l'étude du droit canadien, du droit français et du droit sud-africain révèle que le droit canadien relatif à la communication de la norme pénale n'a pas su s'adapter à la prolifération des normes légales. Il en résulte un droit composé d'une série d'exceptions visant à pallier la désuétude de son principe général. D'autre part, le processus canadien de communication de la norme pénale va à l'encontre de nombreux principes de base élabores par les sciences de la communication. La consultation d'un modèle théorique de la communication de la norme pénale nous indique que le droit actuel ne met pas suffisamment l'accent sur le rale de l'État et refuse de prendre en considération le taux d'échec inhérent à la communication humaine. Bien entendu, il est possible d'améliorer sensiblement l'éfficacité du processus canadien de communication de la norme pénale, notamment en imposant à l'État une obligation de communiquer efficacement celle-ci. Cette amélioration ne saurait toutefois éliminer complètement les cas d'infractions commises en raison de l'ignorance de la norme pénale. Devant l'impossibilite de légitimer l'imposition d'une peine dans ces cas, l'État devrait renoncer à punir le justiciable qui contrevient, de bonne foi, à la norme pénale.

Calcium and boron isotope variations in marine biogenic carbonates: Implications for chemical evolution of seawater during the Phanerozoic

Subjects: subject: Biogeochemistry.

description: The aim of this dissertation, based on three papers, is to utilize novel analytical techniques to examine the potential of non-traditional geochemical proxies, such as calcium and boron isotopes, to address questions related to earth system science. The first paper presents analytical protocols for high-precision calcium isotope measurements using thermal (TIMS) and plasma ionization mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS). These are applied to determine calcium isotope abundances of the Late Mesozoic belemnites that, in turn, are used to reconstruct the isotope composition of paleo-seawater and the evolution of the oceanic calcium cycle. The second paper discusses in details the history of the oceanic calcium isotope budget during the Phanerozoic (last ∼500 Ma), which is based on the analysis of calcium isotope compositions of several hundred marine skeletal carbonates, mostly brachiopods, measured by the TIMS technique. The observed experimental record is simulated using a numerical model of coupled calcium/carbon/magnesium global cycles and the results are discussed in the context of changing fluxes of major cations to the oceans. The third paper aims to utilize boron isotopes to constrain temporal changes in pH of the Jurassic surface oceans, with the ultimate goal to evaluate the effect of seawater pH on the oxygen isotope (delta18O) composition of coeval belemnites, hence on the delta18O-based paleo-temperature estimates. Overall, the results of this thesis demonstrate the usefulness and limitations of calcium and boron isotope proxies for studies concerning the evolution of earth system, specifically oceans and the atmosphere, over geological time scales.

description: Gait initiation is a temporary movement between upright posture and steady-state gait. The activation of several postural muscles has been identified to precede changes observed in vertical reaction force. Previous research examining gait initiation has concentrated on the electromyographic activity of muscles of the lower limbs. Few studies, however, have looked at recruitment patterns of the muscles of the thigh and trunk. This study was conducted to determine the recruitment patterns and the roles of certain muscles of the trail and lead lower limbs and trunk for the duration from quiet stance to trail leg toe-off. Eleven healthy participants initiated gait with their right leg. Electromyographic data were collected bilaterally from the erector spinae, tensor fasciae latae, adductor magnus and tibialis anterior muscles. In addition, force platform data were recorded for the duration of quiet stance to toe-off of the trail limb. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Neutrophils release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) which ensnare pathogens and have pathogenic functions in diverse diseases. We examined the NETosis pathways induced by five stimuli; PMA, the calcium ionophore A23187, nigericin, Candida albicans and Group B Streptococcus. We studied NET production in neutrophils from healthy donors with inhibitors of molecules crucial to PMA-induced NETs including protein kinase C, calcium, reactive oxygen species, the enzymes myeloperoxidase (MPO) and neutrophil elastase. Additionally, neutrophils from chronic granulomatous disease patients, carrying mutations in the NADPH oxidase complex or a MPO-deficient patient were examined. We show that PMA, C. albicans and GBS use a related pathway for NET induction, whereas ionophores require an alternative pathway but that NETs produced by all stimuli are proteolytically active, kill bacteria and composed mainly of chromosomal DNA. Thus, we demonstrate that NETosis occurs through several signalling mechanisms, suggesting that extrusion of NETs is important in host defence.

description: Background: Due to an increasing demand in health care services plans to substitute selective physician-conducted medical activities have become attractive. Because administration of a blood transfusion is a highly standardized procedure, it might be evaluated if obtaining a patient’s consent for a blood transfusion can be delegated to allied healthcare professionals. Physicians and patients perceive risks of transfusions differently. However, it is unknown how allied healthcare professionals perceive risks of transfusion-associated adverse events. Methods: Patients (n = 506) and allied healthcare professionals (n = 185) of an academic teaching hospital were asked to quantify their concerns about transfusions including five predefined transfusion-associated risks and their incidences. Results: Blood transfusions were considered to be generally harmful by 10.9% of patients and 14.6% of caregivers (P = 0.180). Among all surveyed patients, 36.8% were worried about infection-transmissions (caregivers: 27.6%; P = 0.024). Compared to 5.4% of caregivers, 13.6% of patients believed infection-transmission was a frequent complication (P = 0.003). Caregivers ranked the risks of receiving an AB0-mismatch transfusion (caregivers: 29.7% vs. patients: 19.2%, P = 0.003) or a transfusion-associated allergic reaction (caregivers: 17.3% vs. patients: 11.1%, P = 0.030) significantly higher than patients and were aware of the high incidence of transfusion-associated fever (caregivers: 17.8% vs. patients: 8.3%, P
London, British Library, Egerton 3307: Passions, patronage, carols and music for Holy Week

description: The manuscript Great Britain, London; British Library, Egerton 3307 has never been studied in its entirety. The majority of literature which pertains to the manuscript is primarily concerned with questions of original location of compilation and all but ignores the codicological aspects. Discussion of the music in the book has generally approached the constituent parts of the Egerton manuscript separately, dealing either with one or the other. This thesis revises the assessment of the source; following a complete codicological and palaeographic examination, undertaken here for the first time, the thesis addresses questions regarding the compilation of the MS, among them the physical similarities between the Holy Week music and the carol music, the original location of compilation, it re-examines the literature on the carol and it proposes for the first time that the two sections of the Egerton manuscript contain between them a repertory of liturgical music representative of a specific ceremonial. A musical stylistic analysis, focused mainly on the two Passions, suggests a probable musical stylistic link between many of the pieces, which parallels the continuity in the physical aspects of this historically important manuscript and affirms the unity proposed on physical and thematic grounds. The adherence to the lay rite of Sarum and the inclusion of the carols within the ceremonial point to a secular institution, for which St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, during Lancastrian rule in the 15th century, seems eminently qualified both in situation as a royal institution and as a centre for musical innovation.
Antiplatelet agents in the secondary prevention of vascular events in adults undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: Cost-effectiveness, budget impact and research priorities

description: This thesis was undertaken to investigate the cost-effectiveness of various antiplatelet regimens used in the secondary prevention of vascular events in adults undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Analyses include the first economic evaluation to evaluate three antiplatelet regimens (clopidogrel + ASA, ticlopidine + ASA, and ASA alone) for the PCI indication from the perspective of the Canadian provincial/territorial healthcare payer, budget impact analyses investigating potential consequences of changing prescribing patterns, and a value of information analysis indicating future research priorities. Results demonstrate that, for a population of patients undergoing PCI at age 60, one year of antiplatelet therapy with ticlopidine + ASA, followed by lifetime ASA therapy, dominates clopidogrel + ASA therapy due to lower costs and better health outcomes (ICER = $523.44 vs. ASA alone). The clinical effectiveness of ticlopidine is proven to be the most uncertain variable in the model, and further clinical research is recommended.

Structure and activity of human clusterin.

description: Clusterin is a heterodimeric disulfide linked glycoprotein secreted by many epithelia in adult and developing tissues. Clusterin is also induced in response to diverse injury or cell death stimuli. The protein interacts with, and is suggested to have, a relatively non specific affinity for markedly hydrophobic/amphipathic ligands including terminal complement components, Alzheimer's disease amyloid beta (Abeta) peptides, and apo AI-HDL in addition to immunoglobulins, TGFbeta receptors, heparin and the endocytic receptor LRP2. Little is known of clusterin structure and function. Sequences modeled as amphipathic alpha helices have been proposed as promiscous binding sites(s) for hydrophobic ligands. A reanalysis of these sequences using the COIL algorithm predicts a single conserved coiled-coil helix in each of the alpha and beta chains. These overlap, with heptads aligned, when each chain is aligned (antiparallel) with respect to the pattern of interchain disulfide bonds, and may reflect formation of an antiparallel coiled-coil with a cationic face that is proposed as an LRP2\heparin binding site. Distinct alpha and beta chain amphipathic helices encoded by exon 5 may constitute the hydrophobic ligand binding site. Partial proteolysis predominantly within or near these latter helices accompanies expression of human clusterin in Pichia pastoris and is associated with significant decreases in specific binding activity to IgG and Abeta 1-40 but not to LRP2 overexpressing differentiated F9 cells, in agreement with these binding site assignments. Although Zn+2 polymerized C9 (poly C9) and Abeta1-40 are mutual heterologous competitive clusterin-binding inhibitors, the specific binding of the recombinant protein to poly C9 is not as significantly diminished, suggesting a distinct but nearby binding site for this presumptive hydrophobic ligand. The C9 binding site is likely to be distinct from that of LRP2 since like IgG and Abeta 1-40 but unlike F9 cell surface binding poly C9 binding is not inhibited by anti-human clusterin monoclonal antibody G7. Distinct interactions may also mediate clusterin recognition of IgG and Abeta1-40 since mild acidification and diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) modification of clusterin histidine side chains had markedly different effects on each interaction. Binding to Abeta1-40 is singularly and dramatically enhanced by mild acidification and diminished by DEPC modification suggesting that a salt bridge between a clusterin imidazole and an acidic side chain of Abeta1-40, reminiscent of electrostatic interactions postulated to stabilize Abeta peptide monomers in polymeric fibrils, in addition to hydrophobic interactions may be important in the stability of the clusterin-Abeta 1-40 complex. These findings support the hypothesis that the interaction of clusterin with some hydrophobic ligands is highly specific and suggest conversely a physiological function specifically related to these interactions.

description: Der vorliegende Bericht basiert auf den Meldungen der Länder an das Bundesministerium für Gesundheit (⁠BMG⁠) und das Umweltbundesamt (⁠UBA⁠) über den Zeitraum von 2014 bis 2016. Die Form des Berichtes beruht auf dem von der EU-Kommission vorgegebenen Berichtsformat, das für die jährlichen Meldungen der Länderbehörden verbindlich ist. 2016 wurden 72,4 Millionen Personen, das sind etwa 88 % der Bevölkerung Deutschlands, mit 4.350,8 Millionen m³ Trinkwasser (aus zentralen Anlagen) in 2.490 Wasserversorgungsgebiete (Verteilung von mehr als 1 000 m³ Trinkwasser pro Tag oder Versorung von mehr als 5 000 Personen) versorgt. Das Rohwasser für die Aufbereitung des in diesen Gebieten abgegebenen Trinkwassers kam zu 69,1 % aus Grundwasser, zu 15,6 % aus Oberflächenwasser, zu 8,2 % aus Uferfiltrat, zu 7,0 % aus künstlich angereichertem Grundwasser und zu 0,1 % aus sonstigen Ressourcen. Das Trinkwasser in diesen Wasserversorgungsgebieten ist von sehr guter Qualität. Bei den meisten mikrobiologischen und chemischen Qualitätsparametern erfüllten über 99,9 % der untersuchten Proben die Anforderungen der Trinkwasserverordnung, d. h., die Grenzwerte wurden eingehalten.
