Evaluating the anti-bacterial and wound healing promoting effects of PVP/PVP-I containing liquid scaffold in vitro and in vivo
Creators: name: Abbasidezfouli, Samin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Background: Based on the WHO report in 2018, 11 million burn injuries occur worldwide annually, 180,000 of which are lethal. Many studies over the past few years have demonstrated that infection and delayed wound healing are responsible for 42%–65% mortality in burn victims. Hence, the development and application of an antibacterial nutritional liquid scaffold in large burn injuries could reduce the infection rate, accelerate wound healing, and ultimately, save lives. MeshFill is a nutritional liquid scaffold found to improve wound healing and esthetic outcomes upon application in a split-thickness meshed skin graft (STMSG) in a porcine model. To expand the efficacy of MeshFill and address the prevention of infections due to wound contamination, our group added antimicrobial properties by replacing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a component in the MeshFill complex, with Povidone-iodine (PVP-I). Unlike silver and antibiotics, low concentrations of iodine are not toxic to human cells, and there is no potential for bacterial resistance. Experimental approach: We assessed the antibacterial effect of various ratios of PVP-I/PVP scaffoderm on both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria during the 4- and 24-hour time points. The cytotoxicity of the three best ratios of PVP-I/PVP scaffoderm was assessed in vitro, while the wound healing effects in terms of antibacterial activity were then evaluated in vivo using relevant rat models. Result: In terms of antibacterial activity, 150% and 200% PVP-I/PVP scaffoderm was shown to kill gram-positive and gram-negative species most effectively in comparison with other groups. Moreover, 100% and 150% PVP-I/PVP scaffoderm showed the best healing results in vivo and did not delay the wound healing process. Conclusion: Scaffoderm containing 150% PVP-I/PVP is most efficacious in terms of antibacterial activity in full-thickness wounds and the promotion of wound healing. The incorporation of PVP-I into MeshFill may be an effective method to prevent impaired wound healing caused by bacterial infection.

description: Continued cost- and power-efficient capacity scaling in optical networks is imperative to keep pace with ever-increasing traffic demands. In this paper, we investigate multi-wavelength transponders as a potential way forward. Suitable system architectures and realistic specifications of multi-wavelength transponders are identified and analyzed in terms of transmit OSNR penalties and spectral constraints. We investigate the performance for different specifications as compared to single-wavelength transponders in a network planning study on two network topologies, developing guidelines for multi-wavelength transponders specifications and their potential benefits. The studies show a reduction in the number of required lasers of up to 83% at the expense of a slight increase in number of lightpaths, demonstrating the potential for significant cost savings and efficiency improvements.

Spatial patterns of stand structure in Pinus ponderosa dominated forests within the Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest, California, USA, in 1930s and contemporary conditions
Creators: name: Nepal, Sushil
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Spatial patterns of forest overstory prior to timber harvest activities associated with Euro-American settlement can serve as helpful forest reference conditions. Yet, such historical reference patterns can be challenging to quantify due to a lack of appropriate spatially explicit field data and the limitations of dendrochronological techniques. As a result, many studies have investigated contemporary spatial patterns of tree density and tree size, but few have successfully described changes in spatial patterns. In this dissertation, I first used overstory census data collected in 1934, over an area of ~4,000 ha, to characterize forest overstory reference conditions for Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest (BMEF), California, USA. Specifically, I quantified the 1934 spatial patterns of stand density index by seven vigor classes for Ponderosa pine/Jeffrey pine and white fir and incense-cedar. The forest reference conditions for BMEF consisted of clusters of open forests dominated by high vigor ponderosa pine trees associated with soil moisture and elevation gradients. Second, I used both 1934 and 2018 regeneration data from BMEF to compare the stocking between reference and contemporary conditions. The stocking of the reference conditions was dominated by ponderosa pine seedlings and was associated with available water capacity at 150 cm and overstory basal area (m2 ha-1). Third, I utilized 2016 Light Detection and Ranging data and overstory ground truth data to compare among stands that received thinning treatments, prescribed burn treatments, and a combination of thinning with prescribed burn treatments. I then compared above-ground biomass (Mg ha-1) between contemporary (2016) and reference (1934 census data) conditions. Spatial patterns in above-ground biomass were more heterogeneous in reference conditions than in contemporary conditions. However, in contemporary conditions, prescribed burns combined with thinning were better able to emulate the spatial patterns of reference conditions than thinning treatments alone. The findings of this dissertation can be utilized by managers: a) as a reference point against which they can evaluate the success of restoration treatments, b) to understand the relationships between regeneration and environmental factors, which shape the overall stand structure, and c) to identify contemporary stands at-risk of insect, disease, and fire that may benefit from restoration treatments.

description: The rapidly growing traffic demands in fiber-optical networks require flexibility and accuracy in configuring lightpaths, for which fast and accurate quality of transmission (QoT) estimation is of pivotal importance. This paper introduces a machine learning (ML)-based QoT estimation approach that meets these requirements. The proposed gradient-boosting ML model uses precomputed per-channel self-channel-interference values as representative and condensed features to estimate non-linear interference in a flexible-grid network. With an enhanced Gaussian noise (GN) model simulation as the baseline, the ML model achieves a mean absolute signal-to-noise ratio error of approximately 0.1 dB, which is an improvement over the GN model. For three different network topologies and network planning approaches of varying complexities, a multi-period network planning study is performed in which ML and GN are compared as path computation elements (PCEs). The results show that the ML PCE is capable of matching or slightly improving the performance of the GN PCE on all topologies while reducing significantly the computation time of network planning by up to 70%.

 Humbert gave a description of his specimens under the name P. macilentus C.L. Koch, 1844. Attems (1898: 446) recognized that Humbert’s specimens were not of this species, but placed the name P. macilentus Humbert in the synonymy of P. subintiger Latzel, 1884 rather than replacing it. The MHNG contains some 40 specimens in alcohol, in three jars, under the name Polydesmus subinteger macilentus. Two jars contain a label reading “ Polydesmus macilentus C.Koch (Type Humbert) env.

title: Respect for human dignity: an Anglo-French comparison
Creators: name: Millns, Susan
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2004

description: The thesis analyses the ways in which respect for human dignity is ensured through law. Situated within the framework of comparative legal studies, it examines the place and significance of the principle of respect for human dignity in English and French law within the context of the protection of fundamental rights at both national and European levels (including the European Convention on Human Rights and the law of the European Union). The introduction sets out the framework of the study. It is here that the comparative nature of the research is presented and the chosen methodology of comparative law justified. The thesis is then divided into two main sections. The first, comprising Chapters 1 and 2, is devoted to the definition of key concepts, notably that of `dignity' and the `human person' and to an analysis of the 'juridification' of respect for dignity, that is its insertion into legal sources at both national and supra-national levels and its relationship with other fundamental legal principles and values. The second part of the thesis, Chapters 3 to 6, comprises a detailed comparative study of instances in which the concept of dignity is applied in France and England. Initially under investigation is respect for dignity at the boundaries of life; that is at its beginnings (Chapter 3) and at its end (Chapter 4). The focus then shifts towards respect for dignity during the course of the human life cycle, looking particularly at violations of physical integrity (Chapter 5) and mental integrity (Chapter 6). The study concludes that while both French and English legal systems have been called upon to respond to potential dignity violations as a result of scientific and technological developments, their responses have varied as a result of their distinct legal cultures. Nevertheless, there is a substantial trend towards rapprochement as a result of harmonising influences from Europe.

description: Music rearrangement involves reshuffling, deleting, and repeating sections of a music piece with the goal of producing a standalone version that has a different duration. It is a creative and time-consuming task commonly performed by an expert music engineer. In this paper, we propose a method for automatically rearranging music recordings that takes into account the hierarchical structure of the recording. Previous approaches focus solely on identifying cut-points in the audio that could result in smooth transitions. We instead utilize deep audio representations to hierarchically segment the piece and define a cut-point search subject to the boundaries and musical functions of the segments. We score suitable entry- and exit-point pairs based on their similarity and the segments they belong to, and define an optimal path search. Experimental results demonstrate the selected cut-points are most commonly imperceptible by listeners and result in more consistent musical development with less distracting repetitions.

Patterns of plasma accessible carbonic anhydrase localisation in derived, basal, and developing fishes
Creators: name: Nelson, Charlotte
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Teleosts comprise half of all vertebrates and have successfully invaded every aquatic habitat on Earth. They owe this success, at least in part, to their unique oxygenation system. This system is comprised of highly pH sensitive hemoglobins (Hb; large Bohr and Root effects), red blood cell (RBC) intracellular pH (pHi) protection by a beta adrenergically stimulated sodium proton exchanger (β-NHE), and a heterogeneous distribution of plasma accessible carbonic anhydrase (paCA; absence at the gills and presence at the tissues). Together, these components enhance oxygen O₂ unloading to the tissues while protecting oxygen uptake at the gills during a generalised acidosis. While the first two components have received much research interest, the third component, a heterogeneous distribution of paCA, has not and is the focus of my thesis. It has been hypothesised that the absence of paCA in the gills of teleosts is due to the presence of the large Root effect and the associated risks to O₂ loading. In my thesis I aimed to address this principal hypothesis with three research chapters. I firstly confirmed the presence of paCA in most tissues, but absence in all four gill arches of the rainbow trout, which until now had been assumed to be true based on data exclusively from gill arch 2. I then investigated rainbow trout through ontogeny, and found that pre-hatch, during embryonic Hb expression branchial paCA is expressed while β-NHE is not; a pattern that exhibits an abrupt switch with hatching. Finally, I investigated several CA characteristics in three basal actinopterygian species for which nothing was known previously. I demonstrated that paCA in the gill was likely lost earlier than predicted by my principal hypothesis, suggesting instead that the loss of branchial paCA is related to the increasing magnitude of the Bohr coefficient and corresponding decrease in Hb buffer capacity. Collectively, my findings suggest that the presence of a large Root effect is unlikely to be the single selective factor for the loss of branchial paCA in teleosts, with implications for our understanding of a group that represents half of all vertebrates.

We showed this by incorporating a hybrid approach where some part of the text is converted using a rule base and in case an ambiguity arises then a probabilistic model is used to resolve the same. Using this approach, the system achieved an overall accuracy of 99.64%.

description: Laser-based lensless digital holographic microscopy (LDHM) is often spoiled by considerable coherent noise factor. We propose a novel LDHM method with significantly limited coherent artifacts, e.g., speckle noise and parasitic interference fringes. It is achieved by incorporating a rotating diffuser, which introduces partial spatial coherence and preserves high temporal coherence of laser light, crucial for credible in-line hologram reconstruction. We present the first implementation of the classical rotating diffuser concept in LDHM, significantly increasing the signal-to-noise ratio while preserving the straightforwardness and compactness of the LDHM imaging device. Prior to the introduction of the rotating diffusor, we performed LDHM experimental hardware optimization employing 4 light sources, 4 cameras, and 3 different optical magnifications (camera-sample distances). It was guided by the quantitative assessment of numerical amplitude/phase reconstruction of test targets, conducted upon standard deviation calculation (noise factor quantification), and resolution evaluation (information throughput quantification). Optimized rotating diffuser LDHM (RD-LDHM) method was successfully corroborated in technical test target imaging and examination of challenging biomedical sample (60um thick mouse brain tissue slice). Physical minimization of coherent noise (up to 50%) was positively verified, while preserving optimal spatial resolution of phase and amplitude imaging. Coherent noise removal, ensured by proposed RD-LDHM method, is especially important in biomedical inference, as speckles can falsely imitate valid biological features. Combining this favorable outcome with large field-of-view imaging can promote the use of reported RD-LDHM technique in high-throughput stain-free biomedical screening.

description: nattereri Humbert & Saussure, 1870: 173 [Polydesmus (Oxyurus)].
Brasilia. Unspecified number of ♀.
 Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription. No specimens found in the MHNG. The NHMW contains one ♀ (Inventory number 3296, Acquisition number 1866.I.137b). According to the Acquisition Register, P. decolor and P. nattereri were described from lot 137 which comprised only two specimens; this specimen is therefore the holotype. The generic placement is uncertain and the genus Leptodesmus remains poorly defined (Hoffman, 2012).

description: nattereri Humbert & Saussure, 1870: 176 [Spirostreptus].
Brasilia. Unspecified series.
 Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription of the ♂ only, the type locality as Caicara and stated that the specimen(s) had been collected by Natterer. No specimens found in the MHNG. The NHMW contains a single ♂ syntype collected by Natterer (Inventory number 2171, Acquisition number 1866.I.48). The locality probably refers to a fazenda by the Paraguay River where Natterer stayed between October 1825 and June 1826 (Schmutzer, 2007). Hoffman (1999: 36) considered the original placement of this species in the genus Spirostreptus instead of Spirobolus a probable lapsus calami. The generic placement follows Marek et al. (2003).

description: Iterative stencils are used widely across the spectrum of High Performance Computing (HPC) applications. Many efforts have been put into optimizing stencil GPU kernels, given the prevalence of GPU-accelerated supercomputers. To improve the data locality, temporal blocking is an optimization that combines a batch of time steps to process them together. Under the observation that GPUs are evolving to resemble CPUs in some aspects, we revisit temporal blocking optimizations for GPUs. We explore how temporal blocking schemes can be adapted to the new features in the recent Nvidia GPUs, including large scratchpad memory, hardware prefetching, and device-wide synchronization. We propose a novel temporal blocking method, EBISU, which champions low device occupancy to drive aggressive deep temporal blocking on large tiles that are executed tile-by-tile. We compare EBISU with state-of-the-art temporal blocking libraries: STENCILGEN and AN5D. We also compare with state-of-the-art stencil auto-tuning tools that are equipped with temporal blocking optimizations: ARTEMIS and DRSTENCIL. Over a wide range of stencil benchmarks, EBISU achieves speedups up to $2.53$x and a geometric mean speedup of $1.49$x over the best state-of-the-art performance in each stencil benchmark.

description: nietanus Saussure, 1860: 365 -366, fig. 33 [Julus].
Mexique, près de Cuernavaca. Unspecified number of ♂.
 The pagination of the publication is faulty and reads 565- 566. Saussure & Humbert (1872) implied that the original description was based on one immature specimen, stating that they had subsequently received adults of both sexes collected by Matija Botteri. Carl (1919) described and illustrated the gonopod of Saussure’s specimen. The MHNG contains five specimens in alcohol in two jars under the name Saussurobolus nietanus. One jar contains the ♂ specimen studied by Carl. The specimen is in a vial with the label “Atlihuayan, Mexique” and another vial contains a broken pair of gonopods. The jar is labelled “Holotypus” but the specimen should be considered a syntype because the original description did not clearly define the type series. The specimens in the second jar are in fragments and have three identification labels with “Mexico” or “Mexique” as the locality, one indicating only ♂ while the other two read “♂♀ type!” These specimens may be syntypes but it is more likely that the ♀ is part of the material collected by Botteri.

description: This work introduces the multidimensional Graph Fourier Transformation Neural Network (GFTNN) for long-term trajectory predictions on highways. Similar to Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), the GFTNN is a novel network architecture that operates on graph structures. While several GNNs lack discriminative power due to suboptimal aggregation schemes, the proposed model aggregates scenario properties through a powerful operation: the multidimensional Graph Fourier Transformation (GFT). The spatio-temporal vehicle interaction graph of a scenario is converted into a spectral scenario representation using the GFT. This beneficial representation is input to the prediction framework composed of a neural network and a descriptive decoder. Even though the proposed GFTNN does not include any recurrent element, it outperforms state-of-the-art models in the task of highway trajectory prediction. For experiments and evaluation, the publicly available datasets highD and NGSIM are used

description: We continue our study in \cite{FL} on viscosity solutions to a one-phase free boundary problem for the $p(x)$-Laplacian with non-zero right hand side. We first prove that viscosity solutions are locally Lipschitz continuous, which is the optimal regularity for the problem. Then we prove that Lipschitz free boundaries of viscosity solutions are $C^{1,α}$. We also present some applications of our results. Moreover, we obtain new results for the operator under consideration that are of independent interest, such as a Harnack inequality.

description: novarae Humbert & Saussure, 1869b: 689 -690 [Polydesmus].
Auckland, Nouvelle-Zélande (Musée de Vienne, Voyage Novara). Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
 Attems (1898) redescribed the species in more detail, using type specimens in the NHMW. The MHNG collection contains one ♂ specimen in alcohol under the name Strongylosoma novarae. A label in the jar reads “ Strongylosoma novarae H. u S., Nouv. Zealand, Mus. Vienne” indicating that it is part of the type series. Rowe & Sierwald (2006: 535) designated a ♂ specimen in the NHMW as the lectotype and a ♀ specimen as a paralectotype (Inventory number 3426/3). There are also five other specimens (Inventory number 3426/1). The Acquisition number for all three lots is 1866.I.10a, even though only six specimens were sent to Humber and Saussure, and these were identified as belonging to two species. This is the type species of the genus Akamptogonus Attems, 1914.

description: The Data Management Plan (DMP) contains information on the kind of data generated in the project, suggested policies, standards, and sustainability activities related to the created data services, including software solutions for the services. This is done in close collaboration with the work packages on FAIR Policies and common technical solutions, to ensure the management of knowledge in the project is maintained following the FAIR principles.

The DMP covers data, documents and solutions created within the project (i.e., not the data provided by the RIs in their services, which is part of their service policies). It describes the data (including metadata) and software standards, availability, curation, and preservation methods, and is based on the Digital Curation Centre model for DMPs.

The first update of the DMP details the tools and systems which are used to maintain personal data and digital assets generated in the project. The second update includes additional data types and corresponding tools for storage. In the final DMP another couple of data types and tools were added, especially the FIP Wizard for the generation of FAIR Implementation Profiles (FIPs).
