description: Interleukin (IL) -7 is an essential non-redundant cytokine that influences T-cell differentiation, proliferation, homeostasis and T-cell functions. In T-cells, IL-7 signals are transduced via IL-7's heterodimeric receptor composed of a common, γ chain (CD132) and an IL-7 specific, α chain (CD127). In light of the many roles that IL-7 plays in T-cell biology, it is no surprise that CD127 expression is tightly regulated in T-cells. In this study, I explore the effects that disease specific mutations in CD127 have on CD127 expression, regulation and signal transduction using an in vitro T-cell model. Here I specifically examined four disease associated mutations of CD127: P132S associated with severe combined immunodeficiency; L242_L243insNPC associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; I356V & T244I associated with autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. In developing my model, I decided to use Jurkat cells because they expressed high endogenous surface levels of CD132, low endogenous surface levels of CD127 and endogenous STAT5. Jurkat cells were transduced with lentiviruses that induced expression of either WT or one of the four mutant CD127. I found that transduced Jurkat cells produced the WT and all four mutant CD127 proteins. I also found that wild type CD127, I356V, L242_L243insNPC and T244I mutant CD127 proteins were all expressed at the same level on the cell surface. However, I could not detect P132S mutated CD127 protein in its native state on the surface or intracellularly. I also found no differences between the mutant CD127 and wild type CD127 with regards to the level of soluble CD127 transcripts. I found that cell lines expressing L242_L243insNPC, I356V and T244I mutant CD127 protein, down-regulated surface CD127 at high IL-7 doses (25ng/mL) to the same extent as in the cell line expressing wild type CD127 protein. Interestingly, at the low IL-7 dose (1ng/mL) these mutant CD127 cell lines down-regulated surface CD127 to a lesser degree the wild type CD127 cell line. Further studies are required to elucidate whether P132S mutated CD127 is expressed on the surface and if T224I and I356V mutations in CD127 enhance signaling. By understanding CD127 dysregulation and dysfunction in disease states, we can potentially develop therapeutics that can return the function of CD127 to normalcy.

description: The work consists of the reconstruction of the face of the great poet called Dante Alighieri through a multidisciplinary approach that matches traditional techniques (manual ones), usually used in forensic anthropology, with digital methodologies that take advantage of technologies born in manufacturer-military fields but that are more and more often applied to the field of the cultural heritage. Unable to get the original skull of Dante, the work started from the data and the elements collected by Fabio Frassetto and Giuseppe Sergi, two important anthropologists, respectively at the University of Bologna and Rome, in an investigation carried out in 1921, sixth century anniversary of his death, on the remains of the poet collected in Ravenna. Thanks to this, we have a very accurate description of Dante’s bones, including 297 metric data inherent to the whole skeleton, some photographs in the scale of the skull, the various norms and many other bones, as well as a model of the skull subsequently realized by Frassetto. According to these information, a geometric reconstruction of Dante Alighieri skull including the jaw was carried out through the employment and integration of the instruments and technologies of the virtual reality, and from this the relative physical model through fast prototype was realized. An important aspect of the work regards in a particular manner the methodology of 3D modelling proposed for the new reconstruction of the jaw (not found in the course of the 1921 recognition), starting from a reference model. The model of the skull prototype is then useful as the basis for the successive stage of facial reconstruction through the traditional techniques of forensic art.

Framework for modeling healthcare teams

description: Whether it is offering services, delivering solutions or driving innovations, team work has been a hallmark of efficiency and effectiveness in various industries. The healthcare industry is not left out as its service delivery process involves numerous interfaces, information flows and patient hand-offs among professionals with different educational training, differing knowledge levels and possibly working from different locations as well. As healthcare delivery evolves to being more patient-centered, so does the team settings as well, becoming more collaborative. Such changes also translate into a need for support systems to evolve to be able to provide support for the extent of collaboration that would be needed. A framework is needed to guide in the development of such systems. However, due to the varying needs of patients, team types and make-up would generally differ, so we explored the different types of team settings studying what they entail based on their various degrees of collaboration. We therefore present in this thesis a model of team based concepts, an ontology formalizing the model, team based scenarios designed using the ontology and then application of the scenarios to test the ability of BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) to model healthcare teams.
Police and Vietnamese-Australian communities in multi-ethnic Melbourne

description: This paper explores practical solutions to sensitive community policing issues, drawing on an Australian case study of relations between police and Australian-Vietnamese communities. The paper summarizes initial research on the attitudes of Australian-Vietnamese community members and police to one another and to security and crime. Despite three decades of community policing, there is only limited communication flow between Vietnamese-Australian citizens including offenders and victims and police. The question is whether partnership policing can fill the gap. For police, this involves understanding not only ethnic distinctiveness but also intergenerational issues, tensions within cultural groups, and changing complex forms of membership and affiliation.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Therapeutics Letter 123 examines biologics and biosimilars. Conclusions: Biosimilars are not identical to biologics but lie within the variability range of the originator biologic. Government regulators around the world approve biosimilars based on evidence that biosimilars are not inferior to the originator biologic product in terms of safety and effectiveness. Systematic reviews of switching from biologics to biosimilars found no meaningful differences in safety and effectiveness between them. Biosimilars are less expensive than originator biologics.
Rapid-Chase Theory: The Influence of the Time of Invisible Stimulus Presentation on Movement Control

Prime-mask SOA

description: In the response priming paradigm, a small briefly presented visual stimulus (i.e., prime) is followed by a larger visible stimulus (i.e., mask) that renders the prime invisible and specifies the target location. According to the rapid-chase theory, the initial portion of the movement is dictated by the prime (initiation criterion) while the later portion is dictated by the mask (takeover criterion) and the prime is initially processed independently from the mask (independence criterion). The purpose of the first experiment was to determine if the processing of the prime and mask fit the predictions of the rapid-chase theory when the prime and mask are presented during an ongoing movement. The second experiment was designed to examine the impact of the prime when it is presented at various times throughout the execution of the movement. Participants initiated rapid pointing movements to a center target. On 1/3 of the trials, participants had to correct their movements to the left (or right) target in response to a left-pointing (or right-pointing) mask arrow, which was preceded by a neutral, left-, or right-pointing prime arrow. In Experiment 1, the prime was presented at movement onset and the mask randomly appeared 33, 50, or 67 ms after prime onset. In Experiment 2, the prime followed movement onset with a delay of 17, 33, or 50 ms and the mask was presented 50 ms after prime onset. In both experiments, participants first modified their movements in the direction indicated by the prime before completing their movements to the correct target in the majority of trials; thus, supporting the initiation and takeover criteria. However, the spatial priming effects did not follow the time course predicted by the independence criterion. Overall, the rapid-chase theory does not seem to apply to movement execution, but the prime is still able to influence the movement despite being presented later in the pointing trajectory.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: This thesis introduces new approaches, namely the DataBoost and DataBoost-IM algorithms, to extend Boosting algorithms' predictive performance. The DataBoost algorithm is designed to assist Boosting algorithms to avoid over-emphasizing hard examples. In the DataBoost algorithm, new synthetic data with bias information towards hard examples are added to the original training set when training the component classifiers. The DataBoost approach was evaluated against ten data sets, using both decision trees and neural networks as base classifiers. The experiments show promising results, in terms of overall accuracy when compared to a standard benchmarking Boosting algorithm. The DataBoost-IM algorithm is developed to learn from two-class imbalanced data sets. In the DataBoost-IM approach, the class frequencies and the total weights against different classes within the ensemble's training set are rebalanced by adding new synthetic data. The DataBoost-IM method was evaluated, in terms of the F-measures, G-mean and overall accuracy, against seventeen highly and moderately imbalanced data sets using decision trees as base classifiers.

description: Commensal rodent species cause damage to crops and stored products, they transmit pathogens to people, live-stock and pets and threaten nativeflora and fauna. Tominimize such adverse effects, commensal rodentsare pre-dominantly managed with anticoagulant rodenticides (AR) that can be transferred along the food chain. Wetested the effect of the uptake of the AR brodifacoum (BR) by Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) on spatial behaviorbecause this helps to assess the availability of dead rats and residual BR to predators and scavengers. BR was de-livered by oral gavage or free-fed bait presented in bait stations. Rats were radio-collared to monitor spatial be-havior. BR residues in rat liver tissue were analyzed using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem massspectrometry. Norway rats that had consumed BR decreased distances moved and had reduced home rangesize. Treatment effects on spatial behavior seemed to set in rapidly. However, there was no effect on habitat pref-erence. Ninety-two percent of rats that succumbed to BR died in well-hidden locations, where removal by scav-enging birds and large mammalian scavengers is unlikely. Rats that ingested bait from bait stations had 65% higher residue concentrations than rats that died from dosing with two-fold LD50.Thissuggestsanoverdosingin rats that are managed with 0.0025% BR. None of the 70 BR-loaded rats was caught/removed by wild preda-tors/scavengers before collection of carcasses within 5-29 h. Therefore, and because almost all dead rats diedin well-hidden locations, they do not seem to pose a significant risk of AR exposure to large predators/scavengers at livestock farms. Exposure of large predators may originate from AR-poisoned non-target small mammals. Thefew rats that died in the open are accessible and should be removed in routine searches during and after the ap-plication of AR bait to minimize transfer of AR into the wider environment. © 2021 The Authors.

description: Context: high-precision pulsar-timing experiments are affected by temporal variations of the dispersion measure (DM), which are related to spatial variations in the interstellar electron content and the varying line of sight to the source. Correcting for DM variations relies on the cold-plasma dispersion law which states that the dispersive delay varies with the squared inverse of the observing frequency. This may, however, give incorrect measurements if the probed electron content (and therefore the DM) varies with observing frequency, as is predicted theoretically due to the different refraction angles at different frequencies. Aims: we study small-scale density variations in the ionised interstellar medium. These structures may lead to frequency-dependent DMs in pulsar signals. Such an effect could inhibit the use of lower-frequency pulsar observations as tools to correct time-variable interstellar dispersion in higher-frequency pulsar-timing data. Methods: we used high-cadence, low-frequency observations with three stations from the German LOng-Wavelength (GLOW) consortium, which are part of the LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR). Specifically, 3.5 yr of weekly observations of PSR J2219+4754 are presented. Results: we present the first detection of frequency-dependent DMs towards any interstellar object and a precise multi-year time-series of the time- and frequency-dependence of the measured DMs. The observed DM variability is significant and may be caused by extreme scattering events. Potential causes for frequency-dependent DMs are quantified and evaluated. Conclusions: we conclude that frequency dependence of DMs has been reliably detected and is indeed caused by small-scale (up to tens of AUs) but steep density variations in the interstellar electron content. We find that long-term trends in DM variability equally affect DMs measured at both ends of our frequency band and hence the negative impact on long-term high-precision timing projects is expected to be limited.
Design and implementation of an advanced telecollaboration system.

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: In this thesis, we investigate two advanced features, which greatly enhance a telecollaboration system. The first one is real time audio and video synchronous communication among the participants. The second is the collaborative session recording service that enables the asynchronous collaboration. We describe our design and implementation of a real time audio and video tool JVC, and a recording tool JVCR. JVC can capture, transmit and present the real time audio and video streams among all participants. The audio and video data are transmitted by RTP and LP multicast for efficiency. Different from other Internet-based audio and video tools, JVC is developed with Java and based on the Java Media Framework (JMF). Therefore, JVC is platform independent and well suited for the heterogeneous Internet environment. JVCR is a WWW-based recording tool. It records all multimedia components of a collaborative session, such as user interactions with the JETS whiteboard developed by the Multimedia Communications Research Laboratory, University of Ottawa. It also records the associated live audio and video streams distributed by JVC in the collaboration session. A novel feature of JVCR is that it dynamically creates SMIL documents to specify the synchronization relationship of all captured components as well as the hypertext links to these components. Therefore, the recorded session can be easily accessed through the Web and played-back by any SMIL-enabled players. JVCR is also developed with pure Java for platform independence.

description: Swinburne University of Technology has six campuses in Melbourne, Australia, and one in Malaysia. The authors of this paper have been responsible for the design, delivery and evaluation of an integrated information literacy and information technology literacy program at the Lilydale Campus in Melbourne for six years. The program forms a large part of Information Methods, a compulsory subject for all first year students, and accounts for 20% of the marks attainable. In 2002 and 2003 each of the authors served as Information Resources Manager at Swinburne’s campus in Malaysia. This campus in Kuching, Sarawak on the island of Borneo is delivering courses identical in content to those undertaken by students in Australia. During their terms as Manager, Julie and Susan provided information literacy skills training for academic staff and students to assist them to meet the same standards of teaching, learning and research as their Australian counterparts. This paper discusses the development of the program over six years at Lilydale and its adaptation for use in an educational environment where English is not the first language of most of the participants and where cultural differences in learning styles have to be considered. Issues raised include: the inseparability of information literacy from information technology literacy; the problems of, and some solutions to, assessing student achievement in e-literacy; the ‘high tech’ nature of the Lilydale campus compared to the less developed facilities in Kuching; differing cultural expectations of the roles of teachers, students and librarians; and implications for our on-campus international students.

Kind tyranny: Brother-sister relationships in Renaissance drama.
Creators: name: Warnock, Jeanie E.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Theater.

description: The study focuses on the social, literary, and psychological significance of the brother-sister relationship to a broad range of Renaissance tragedy and tragicomedy. After a brief historical analysis of siblings, the thesis considers the brother-sister relationship as an important means for dramatists to explore questions of identity, of gender conflict, and of differing understandings of family. It also examines the relationship as a developing literary tradition in the drama of the Stuart period, a tradition which culminates in the works of John Ford. The first half of the study surveys a large range of non-Shakespearean revenge tragedy and tragicomedy. In revenge tragedy, violent brother-sister strife serves as a symbol of the self in turmoil, as an image of a disordered family and society, and as a focal point for tension over the nature of women. Brothers also subvert traditional family roles in their relationships with their sisters. The avenging brother and sister, joined in shared loyalty to their house, mount a legitimate challenge to the authority of husband and king; pandar brothers become diabolical inversions of father and husband. Proceeding to tragicomedy, the thesis analyzes the brother as a figure of illegitimate authority and considers the privileged position gained by royal sisters, whose noble blood renders them the equal of their brothers. The latter half of the dissertation reinterprets the plays of John Webster and John Ford. In The Duchess of Malfi, the royal siblings' similarity, close blood tie, and high rank overturn gender difference and affirm the intimate connection between the sexes. The study considers the importance of blood family to the Duchess' self-conception and examines Ferdinand's attempts to create identity by usurping the place of his sister's husband. Ford's two plays 'Tis Pity She's A Whore and The Fancies Chaste and Noble stand as the culmination of dramatic treatments of idealized and antagonistic brother-sister relationships alike. Both works contrast the opposing nature of physical and familial love and elevate asexual love above sexual passion, presenting a sibling tie which undermines the bond between husband and wife.

description: For a typical pneumatic conveying system, various combinations of mass flow rate of solids (𝑚𝑠), mass flow rate of air (𝑚𝑓) and pressure drop (Δ𝑃) can be considered for the conveying of a given bulk material and pipeline. However, there are only a few combinations located in the vicinity of the optimal condition that can convey the bulk material at the design or desired capacity while consuming the lowest amount of energy.Traditional control systems exhibit several limitations, particularly in their lack of adaptability to changing operating conditions. When operating conditions change (e.g. due to varying bulk material properties), the pneumatic conveying systems will continue running with the same parameter inputs as the initial design or operating condition. Moreover, the pre-designed operating parameters are typically conservative with a certain safety margin to prevent unstable flow or pipeline blockages. Consequently, most pneumatic conveying systems operate under sub-optimal conditions, leading to excessive energy consumption. Therefore, it is imperative to develop “smart” operation/control strategies and technologies capable of addressing these issues, which can lead to improved performance, reliability and significant energy savings.This study proposes an intelligent approach that employs both Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and fuzzy control techniques to achieve stable and energy-saving operation of pneumatic conveying systems, especially when subjected to external variations. ANN is used initially to automatically develop accurate Pneumatic Conveying Characteristics (PCC) and determine the optimal operating conditions for the system. A fuzzy controller is then developed and utilised to maintain real-time control, ensuring the system operates around the optimal condition in response to external disturbances.

Tour à tour traités en étrangers encombrants ou tolérés, en incroyants assoiffés de gain, en hérétiques qui pervertissent les Canadiens, puis subitement en immigrants appréciés et courtisés, ils ont forcé les métropoles française et britannique à ajuster leur définition de la citoyenneté, ils ont préconisé le cosmopolitisme et accompagné l'ouverture du Canada sur le monde, ils ont galvanisé l'affirmation du sentiment national en agissant soit comme repoussoirs soit comme faire-valoir, et ils ont finalement remis en question la définition même de «nation» au Canada. La présente thèse, par un dépassement voulu des frontières chronologiques et géographiques, envisage sur la longue durée l'expérience de migrants qui tendent à échapper à toute catégorisation sociale. Grâce à une analyse microhistorique, elle procède à un jeu d'échelles et de contrastes qui autorise un examen rapproché des phénomènes révélés par les sources suisses, canadiennes, françaises, britanniques et américaines. Cette réflexion propose une façon originale d'étudier les migrations dans l'optique de la problématique identitaire. Elle fait ressortir à la fois les moments forts de l'émigration suisse et les dates charnières de la modernité canadienne. C'est à l'intersection de ces deux chronologies, au gré du dialogue constant et soutenu entre autorités politiques, religieuses et communautaires, sous l'effet des tensions linguistiques et culturelles, des tensions entre conquérants et conquis, des tensions internes et externes entre tradition et modernité, que s'est constituée et adaptée une conscience collective unique, marquée moins par la continuité que par les tensions, la diversité et les compromis. Les Suisses ouvrent justement une fenêtre sur ces compromis qui donnent lieu à la complexité canadienne.

description: The neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) and its receptor (OXTR) modulate interpersonal relationships, particularly mother–child interactions. DNA methylation (DNAm) changes of the OXTR gene were observed in individuals who experienced Childhood Maltreatment (CM). A modulatory role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) within OXTR in association with CM on the regulation of OXTR was also postulated. Whether these CM-induced epigenetic alterations are biologically inherited by the offspring remains unknown. We thus investigated possible intergenerational effects of maternal CM exposure on DNAm and OXTR gene expression, additionally accounting for the possible influence of three SNP: rs53576 and rs2254298 (OXTR gene), and rs2740210 (OXT gene). We used the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire to classify mothers into individuals with (CM+) or without CM (CM−). Maternal peripheral immune cells were isolated from venous blood (N = 117) and fetal immune cells from the umbilical cord (N = 113) after parturition. DNA methylation was assessed using MassARRAY. Taqman assays were performed for genotyping and gene expression analyses. Among mothers, CM was not associated with OXTR mean methylation or gene expression. However, four CpG sites showed different methylation levels in CM− compared to CM+. In mothers, the OXTR rs53576 and OXT rs2740210 allelic variations interacted with CM load on the OXTR mean methylation. Maternal and newborns’ mean methylation of OXTR were positively associated within CM− dyads, but not in CM+ dyads. We show gene×environment interactions on the epigenetic regulation of the oxytocinergic signaling and show the intergenerational comparability of the OXTR DNAm might be altered in infants of CM+ mothers.

description: Consolidation and protection are two of the principal kinds of treatments through which the decay of old statues, stone facades, plasters and mural paintings caused by both natural atmospheric agents and, above all in the last five decades, by atmospheric pollution, is faced.
The most traditional approach has been and is mainly based on the use of organic polymeric materials.
They offer the advantage of easy application procedures and the possibility to obtain, at short times, very satisfying results. Different is their behaviour at long times. Some drawbacks come out over time both under the esthetical point of view as well as to the durability, compatibility and efficacy.
Particularly critical is the situation when porous materials and soluble salts - gypsum above all - are simultaneously present. In such a situation inorganic treatments demonstrate to be much more appropriate. They assure durable and compatible results.
In the present paper two of the most efficient and appropriate inorganic methods are reviewed in detail: the barium hydroxide method, both as desulfating and consolidating agent, and the ammonium oxalate method as passivating agent, consolidant and as a treatment capable of improving the natural colour contrast of the stone, when it is lost due to decay processes.

description: Die heutige Menschheit ist aufgeteilt in Nationalstaaten und das gilt auch für die Europäische Union. Wie in einem Puzzle grenzt ein Staat an den anderen und jeder hat sich ein eigenes nationales Selbstbild geschaffen, das ihn von den anderen abgrenzt. Jeder Staat ist für das Wohlergehen seiner Bürger zuständig, die zusammen für das Wohlergehen der nationalen Gemeinschaft arbeiten. Ökonomie, Kommunikation und Mobilität aber sind grenzüberschreitend. Ist dieser Widerspruch zwischen nationaler Zugehörigkeit und globaler/europäischer Verflechtung mit dem Nationalstaatskonzept aufzulösen?

Year: 2024

description: The coupling of light between wire-dielectric and photonic-crystal waveguides, characterized by a triangular lattice of air holes, is investigated through a finite-element time domain (FE-TD) approach, in order to optimize the transmission spectrum. The displacement of the inner-hole rows of the photonic-crystal waveguide, on both sides of the interface, has been shown to considerably improve the coupling, resulting in transmission values higher than 90% and 95% over bandwidths of hundreds of nanometers around 1550 nm. The new design approach is successfully proposed for input and output waveguides with width equal to √3Λ, as well as for larger widths, like 2√3Λ and 3√3Λ, with Λ being the period of the photonic crystal.
Sicily in D.H. Lawrence’s Imagery

description: D.H. Lawrence, who spent two years in Sicily, precisely in Fontana Vecchia, near Taormina and
Aetna (where the God Vulcan used to live), has always been fascinated by Italy and Sicily in particular,
the places where, in his opinion, most myths are rooted. His fascination for Sicily is due both to
the sculpture of The Seated Demeter or Core, that he saw in the archaeological Museum in
Syracuse, and to the Sicilians, described “as handsome as Adonis”, and who seem to manifest and
share the sexual energy usually connected to Pan and Dionysus. The image of Sicily recurs in D.H.
Lawrence’s entire production, often indirectly suggested by images such as: the volcanoes, the mythical Sicilian monsters “Scylla and Charybdis”, and the references to the Myth of Pluto and
Persephone, which took place in Enna, as told in his poem "Purple Anemones" (in Birds, Beasts and
Flowers). Moreover, his novella Sun deals with the flourishing Mediterranean landscape of Sicily,
with Aetna in the distance, and the memory of the Sicules, the archaic inhabitants of the island. It is
also worth mentioning that D.H. Lawrence translated several works by the Sicilian Giovanni Verga:
from Mastro-Don Gesualdo (1923) to Cavalleria Rusticana and Other Stories (1928).

description: This work concerns the study of Dante’s Code, illuminated on parchment, which is preserved at the
Library of “Centro Dantesco dei Frati Minori Conventuali” in Ravenna.
This Code is well-known by the international scientific Community as Phillipps 9589 and its notoriety
is not only due to the fact that it’s the only Dante’s Palimpsest, but also because it preserves, at
the scripto superior, one of the older witness of that branch of handwritten tradition of Dante’s
Commedia named “Tradition a”, the so-called “old Vulgate”.
The research, worked out for several stages, had aimed to examine the technical-diagnostic
aspects, in particular the general purposes had been:
– evaluation about the state of preservation;
– materials characterization;
– improvement of the legibility of Dante’s text and Palimpsest reading;
– evaluation about the preservative environment;
– code digitization suitable for a intranet and internet use.
In this connection, the following non-destructive diagnostic techniques bad been employed, also
related to a documentary aim:
– image analysis videomicroscope;
– spectrophotometric colorimetry;
– X-ray fluorescence (XRF);
– Multispectral Imaging System (MuSIS);
– environmental monitoring Instruments (thermohygrometer, illuminometer, aerosol spectrometer
PTS e PM10).
