Intensive aDcp Survey of a Gravel-Bed River Confluence
Creators: name: Gaskin, Janet
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Geological.
subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: An intensive survey of the high angle asymmetric gravel-bed confluence of the Fraser River Main Channel with Minto Side Channel, downstream of a mid-channel island, was conducted using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (aDcp) during the freshet in June, 2008 at a combined discharge of 7 500 m 3/s. The confluence was characterized by a vertical mixing interface, with the Minto high velocity core being advected downwards in the upstream part of the scour zone; weaker helical flow is evident in the main channel flow as it confines the strongly helical left bank flow. Apparent bed velocity generally followed the thalweg, with the highest values near 0.15 m/s occurring at the edges of the scour zone and along the elongated bed step. In plotted spatial distributions, the areas of high primary bed velocity matched areas of high shear velocity and/or strongly upward vertical flow velocity.

description: In this paper, we turn the interpolation problem of coarsely-sampled data into a denoising problem. From this point of view, we illustrate the benefit of random sampling at sub-Nyquist rate over regular sampling at the same rate. We show that, using nonlinear sparsity promoting optimization, coarse random sampling may actually lead to significantly better wavefield reconstruction than equivalent regularly sampled data.

Characterization of DATR-X in the Drosophila embryonic central nervous system
Creators: name: Sun, Xuetao
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: The Drosophila Jing zinc finger plays a role in the survival of specialized cells at the midline of the central nervous system (CNS) and of tracheal cells. A screen for gain-of-function (GOF) enhancers of jing GOF in the eye identified the Drosophila homolog of the human disease gene alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation X-linked (ATR-X). The ATR-X gene encodes an SNF2 family Helicase/ATPase protein with chromatin remodeling activity. DATR-X has a very similar genetic structure but is smaller than its vertebrate counterparts due to the absence of a zinc finger domain. DATR-X transcripts and protein are widely expressed throughout embryogenesis and enriched in the CNS. DATR-X localizes to nuclei in Drosophila embryos and its N-terminus is sufficient for its nuclear localization. Alterations in DATR-X and Jing levels specifically in CNS neurons or glia by over-expression and RNA interference (RNAi), suggested that DATR-X and jing have a common function, as they both affect repulsion of longitudinal glia (LG), neurons and longitudinal axons from the CNS midline. With a variety of CNS cell type markers and polyclonal anti-DATR-X antibodies, the function ofDATR-X within specific subtypes of neurons (MP2 pioneer neurons) and glia (LG) were examined due to their essential involvement in axon guidance. Analysis of DATR-X deficient embryos and those with targeted RNAi-induced reductions points to DATR-X as an essential player in the formation of longitudinal axons and glial survival and positioning in the developing Drosophila embryonic CNS. Furthermore, truncated DATR-X proteins missing the Helicase C domain interfered with longitudinal glial repulsion, but at a reduced level compared with wild-type DATR-X. Together, these results establish that proper DATR-X levels and function in both glial and neuronal nuclei are required for the construction of precise axonal architecture in Drosophila embryos.
Beauty in East Asia

Publisher: name: ASIEN: The German Journal on Contemporary Asia
Year: 2021

description: In recent years, reports about the new “beauty craze” in China and South Korea have been piling up in Western newspapers and media outlets. They reveal details about the Chinese high-school graduates who get a nose job first thing after graduation, about double eyelid surgery special offers for couples on Valentine’s Day, and about Korean girl bands who collectively have a makeover. They echo popular fake news stories in East Asian media, for instance the one about the husband who sued his wife over their ugly children after discovering she had cosmetic surgery, and gossip about bizarre incidences of medical tourism, like the one about two Chinese patients who were not allowed to pass border control when trying to reenter their native country because their facial features had changed so fundamentally after cosmetic surgery in South Korea that they could not be recognized from their passports. Of course, most of these stories are motivated by a sensationalist curiosity and do not dig deeper into these phenomena, how they could be interpreted from a sociological perspective, and what they might be able to tell us about current transformation processes occurring in relation to modernization, neoliberalization, and negotiations of gender relations, class affiliation, and individual subject positions in East Asian societies. In fact, examining bodily practices and discourses on beauty can be a rich source of understanding vis-à-vis the ongoing societal changes unfolding in East Asia in recent decades. On the one hand, if we view beautification practices as a kind of skillful performance or practical intentionality then this can tell us a lot about incorporated and embodied structures of social knowledge and norms of action (Csordas 1994). On the other, we can identify underlying mechanisms behind the formation and stabilization of social orders through the human body — and thus identify the order itself. Thus the body, and its modification and beautification, act as a symbolic canvas on which social change and modernization processes are captured: through the prism of the body as both producing and being produced by social structures and norms, it hence exists as the literal embodiment of societal phenomena. An analysis of body representations, physical routines, and beauty practices can, then, help to capture and explain these very processes.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is considered clean, safe and cheap, offering a viable alternative to conventional fuels. Nowadays, the use of LPG as a fuel source in motor vehicles is steadily increasing. The LPG tanks in motor vehicles can be of toroidal shape. The toroidal LPG tanks are generally of non-circular cross-section, and may be supported at points, lines or patches on the surface. Among the mechanical properties of interest for toroidal LPG tanks are the static behavior under internal pressure, the vibration characteristics, the buckling and collapse loads, and the properties under impact loading arising from accident conditions. In the current work, a shell-theory finite element analysis is carried out of toroidal LPG tanks, with non-circular cross-section. The analysis serves to determine the natural frequencies, the buckling and collapse pressures, and the deformation of impacted tanks. The differential quadrature method is used as an alternate means in the vibration analysis. A variety of support conditions are considered, including lines of support at the inner and outer equators of the tank. For validation, comparison is made with previously published results for stress, vibration and buckling of circular and elliptical toroidal shells, and impact deformation of spherical and cylindrical shells. Finally, a parametric study is carried out to determine the influence on the natural frequency, buckling and collapse pressures, and the deformation of the impacted tanks, of shell size, shell thickness, material properties, and support conditions.

description: Personalization of e-commerce applications is an issue that is gaining increasing importance with the advancing maturity of such systems. There is already e-commerce software on the market offering integrated E-shop and personalization functions. However, the available software is too time-consuming and expensive for SMEs. With this in mind we saw a need to investigate the potential for personalization from the particular angle of SMEs. In addition to some theoretical fundamentals of personalization, this paper presents the results of an empirical study. With the help of a survey we investigated the application potential for personalization tools in Swiss companies. The conclusions show that SMEs are (still) skeptical towards e-commerce applications which use personalization. It furthermore becomes clear that the heterogeneity of organizational and technical conditions impedes the development of standardized tools.

Mechanisms underlying thymidylate synthase regulation in human cells
Creators: name: Le Francois, Brice
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: Thymidylate synthase (TS) catalyzes the last step of the only de novo synthesis pathway for deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), a nucleotide required for DNA synthesis and repair. The central role of TS in nucleic acid metabolism has made it an attractive target for antineoplastic drugs. 5-fluorouracil is a prototypic drug targeting TS activity, which blocks the enzyme by forming a stable inhibitory complex with the protein. Depletion of dTMP following TS inhibition leads to repeated cycles of incorporation of uridine into DNA, causing single strand breaks, and ultimately triggering apoptosis. TS is commonly believed to be a S-phase dependent enzyme, an assumption largely based on a score of studies performed in rodent cells. Recent reports do not support this view and suggest that TS is a cell proliferation marker rather than a S-phase enzyme. The mechanisms controlling TS expression in human cells are poorly understood and could potentially provide new therapeutics approaches to decrease TS levels in cancer cells and to sensitize them to anti-TS drugs. We showed that, in human cells synchronized by serum starvation or subjected to serum deprivation, the expression patterns of TS and cyclin E (a well characterized E2F target) were significantly different. Ectopic expression of E2F1 or cyclin E had no effect on TS levels. However, inhibition of CDK4 but not CDK2 was associated with a clear decrease in TS levels in human cells. We also demonstrated that inhibition of MEK1 was associated with a decrease in TS levels, but this event was independent of ERK2 activity. Using reporter assays, we showed that MEK1 controlled TS promoter transcription, and that deletion of the Sp1 site from the essential promoter region greatly reduced the ability of MEK1 to stimulate the TS promoter. Surprisingly, unlike in rodent cells, LSF and GABP failed to increase TS levels in human cells. Taken together, our data demonstrate that TS levels in human cells are largely independent of S-phase and are primarily controlled by CDK4 and MEK1 activity during G1. Furthermore, we provide strong evidence that the mechanisms controlling TS expression in human cells significantly differ from those of rodent cells.
Multi-term multiple prediction using separated reflections and diffractions combined with curvelet-based subtraction

description: The surface-related multiple elimination (SRME) method has proven to be successful on a large number of data cases. Most of the applications are still 2D, as the full 3D implementation is still expensive and under development. However, the earth is a 3D medium, such that 3D effects are difficult to avoid. Most of the 3D effects come from diffractive structures, whereas the specular reflections normally have less of a 3D behavior. By separating the seismic data in a specular reflecting and a diffractive part, multiple prediction can be carried out with these different subsets of the input data, resulting in several categories of predicted multiples. Because each category of predicted multiples can be subtracted from the input data with different adaptation filters, a more flexible SRME procedure is obtained. Based on some initial results from a Gulf of Mexico dataset, the potential of this approach is investigated.

description: One of the most profound consequences of the ongoing information revolution is its influence on how economic value is created and extracted. The new information infrastructure redefines the relationships between buyer, seller, and middleman, allowing new ways of accessing and tapping information, and price arrangements. Most importantly the information about a product or service may be separated from the product or service itself. Consider how most books are sold today: most are sold in bookstores all around the country. When Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com set up his online bookstore in Seattle in 1995, he saw an opportunity to change the marketplace. He created a virtual bookstore, holding more than 2.5 mil. titles, about ten times as many as even the biggest bookstore in the physical world. For best-sellers, Amazon charges 40% below list price, for nearly everything else, at least a 10% applies. Result: sales of $16 mil.
Smooth-pursuit and saccadic eye movements: One clock or two?
Creators: name: Richardson, Brian
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Biology, Neuroscience.

description: It is commonly believed that saccadic and smooth-pursuit eye movements involve different neural and behavioural organization. However, the question of how these different movements are timed with respect to a pacing goal is less understood. In two experiments, we investigated the idea that repetitive saccadic and smooth pursuit eye movements might share the same clocking mechanisms or neural networks for timing. Eye movements exhibit predictive tracking (negative latencies) at fast frequencies and reactive (positive latencies) tracking at slow frequencies. In the first experiment, monotonic changes in pacing (speeding up and slowing down) were used to establish the point at which a transition occurs between reactive and predictive behaviours. The point of transition exhibited a strong hysteresis depending on the direction of the monotonic pacing. In subsequent trials, subjects were instructed to make smooth pursuit movements up to the point of transition after which they switched to making saccades. The saccade latencies were compared between saccade-only and switched trials. Although no uniform pattern was seen across individuals, some subjects were able to track nearly identically to baseline trials after the target switch. In the second experiment, subjects were instructed to continue making saccadic eye movements after being entrained to either a saccadic or smooth pursuit stimulus train using a synchronization-continuation design. The decomposed clock and motor variance measures and correlations at higher lags showed no differences between synchronizing conditions. Our results indicate that timing is represented globally without particular reference to the effector system for broad classes of repetitive oculomotor tasks.

The company Triamun developed an ASP software solution for the seamless integration of a variety of different partners. The discussion of the integration project comprises four perspectives: business, processes, application, and technology. The case study contains a description of the company, its e-business strategy, parties involved, e-business software solution, and lessons learned. The case shows how a dominant market player created and implemented an industry-wide software solution for an improved electronic data exchange in the healthcare sector. There are, however, limitations to an eventual industry-wide acceptance of the solution especially by players who are not part of the initiator?s business network. The analysis shows that existing governance structures were the key to the acceptance of this software solution.

description: In this abstract, we present a novel primary-multiple separation scheme which makes use of the sparsity of both primaries and multiples in a transform domain, such as the curvelet transform, to provide estimates of each. The proposed algorithm utilizes seismic data as well as the output of a preliminary step that provides (possibly) erroneous predictions of the multiples. The algorithm separates the signal components, i.e., the primaries and multiples, by solving an optimization problem that assumes noisy input data and can be derived from a Bayesian perspective. More precisely, the optimization problem can be arrived at via an assumption of a weighted Laplacian distribution for the primary and multiple coefficients in the transform domain and of white Gaussian noise contaminating both the seismic data and the preliminary prediction of the multiples, which both serve as input to the algorithm.

description: Despite recent advances in the field, the hydroamination methodology has not yet reached its full potential. This thesis focuses on new investigations in Cope-type hydroamination by first examining six-membered ring formation in order to explore and expand the scope of intramolecular Cope-type hydroamination of disubstituted olefins. This objective was achieved by synthesizing pumiliotoxin C (+/-)-3 and its epimer (+/-)-2 through the cyclization of a hydroxylamine precursor (+/-)-1 under transition metal-free reaction conditions.* In the second chapter we discuss the scarcity of methods to make ketonitrones 4 in the current literature and our approach to overcome this constraint using Cope-type hydroamination which involved heating allenes 5 and alkynes 6 with hydroxylamines under metal-free reaction conditions. Improved reaction conditions for the Schiff-base reactions of ketones will also be presented.* *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams.

description: The following paper presents results from a longitudinal study about the importance and use of information and communication technology in Swiss small and medium-sized companies. In an empirical survey, 989 questionnaires were collected and analysed (return rate 17 %). The results were weighted according to company size and industry sector and are thus representative for Switzerland. The findings show that Swiss SMEs ? in their self assessment ? manage to gain (competitive) advantages from the deployment of information and communication technology. ICT is universally used (even) in (small and medium-sized) companies. There is a high degree of inter-organisational ICT use. ICT know-how and awareness are strongly rooted in management. The general conclusion is that IT matters for Swiss SMEs.

description: Virtual communities (VCs) potentially increase community interaction, social support, civic engagement, and social capital. Concurrently, education research suggests that one important factor in improving student achievement is community and parent involvement. Would building a VC in a K-6 school to support information exchange facilitate parents? involvement in school activities? How can a K-6 public school with limited resources build a VC? This paper reports on an action research project conducted in a public school to build a VC including such components as dynamic website and discussion forum. Findings suggest that school and community?s access to technology, teacher training and static websites are not enough to attract parents.

description: Personalization of E-Commerce applications is an issue that is gaining increasing importance with the advancing maturity of such systems. There is already E-Commerce software on the market offering integrated E-shop and personalization functions. However, the available software is too time-consuming and expensive for SMEs. With this in mind we saw a need to investigate the potential for personalization from the particular angle of SMEs. Besides the theoretical fundamentals of personalization this paper will present the results of an empirical study. With the help of a survey we investigated the application potential for personalization tools in Swiss companies. The conclusions show that SMEs are (still) sceptical towards E-Commerce applications which include personalization. It furthermore becomes clear that the heterogeneity of organizational and technical conditions hinders the development of standardized tools.
Multiple prediction from incomplete data with the focused curvelet transform

description: Incomplete data represents a major challenge for a successful prediction and subsequent removal of multiples. In this paper, a new method will be represented that tackles this challenge in a two-step approach. During the first step, the recenly developed curvelet-based recovery by sparsity-promoting inversion (CRSI) is applied to the data, followed by a prediction of the primaries. During the second high-resolution step, the estimated primaries are used to improve the frequency content of the recovered data by combining the focal transform, defined in terms of the estimated primaries, with the curvelet transform. This focused curvelet transform leads to an improved recovery, which can subsequently be used as input for a second stage of multiple prediction and primary-multiple separation.

description: Die Freiheit der Wissenschaft ermöglicht es angehenden und etablierten Wissenschaftlern gleichermaßen, sich mit den Themen auseinander zu setzen, die sie für interessant und erforschenswert halten. Dennoch ist unübersehbar, dass es oftmals bedeutende Entwicklungen aktueller Art sind, die - zumal in den Sozialwissenschaften - das Interesse an bestimmten Themen wecken und zu einer verstärkten Konzentration intellektueller, personeller und materieller Ressourcen auf eben diese Themen führen.

description: Um die Präsenz in einer Suchmaschine zu erhöhen setzen die Marketing-Verantwortlichen heute zwei Instrumente ein: Suchmaschinen-Optimierung (SEO) und bezahlte Werbung in Suchmaschinen(SEM). Da im deutschsprachigen Raum eine Suchmaschine den Markt dominiert, liegt der Fokus dieses Artikels auf den Möglichkeiten bei Google. Grundsätzlich werden bei jeder Suchanfrage zweiArten von Ergebnissen präsentiert. Im Zentrum steht das ursprüngliche Suchergebnis (Organic Listing) Zusätzlich werden die bezahlten Anzeigen (AdWords) aufgeführt. Ausschlaggebend für dieReihenfolge der organischen Suchergebnisse sind verschiedene Faktoren, deren genaue Zusammensetzung Google nicht preisgibt.Nun könnte man argumentieren: Das ursprüngliche Listing bei Google ist gratis, also konzentrieren wir uns auf diesen Bereich. Dies ist grundsätzlich richtig. Ist die Konkurrenz allerdings auch bestrebt,Top-Positionen in den Suchmaschinen zu belegen, wird es schwierig, unter die ersten zehn Nennungen zu kommen.
The impact of teachers' emotional intelligence skills on students' motivation to learn

description: The purpose of this qualitative study is to encourage high school graduates to voice on the impact past teachers had on their motivation to learn, and to determine if this impact has affected their post high school lives. Through a focus group strategy, 21 high school alumni participated in three separate focus groups. Participants discussed their former teachers' emotional intelligence skills that influenced their motivation to learn. On the review, teachers were identified as a major factor in a student's motivation to learn. This research was guided by Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory of Motivation (1986) and constructs related to learning and motivation from Carl Rogers' Humanistic Views of Personality (1961), and from Brain Based Learning perspectives with a major focus on the area of Emotional Intelligence. Findings revealed that the majority of participants identified teachers who most motivated them to learn and who demonstrated skills associated with emotional intelligence. An important and disturbing finding was that some of the participants had negative experiences. Further work is recommended to expand this research in a post secondary education study to gain insight into the long-term benefits attributable to experiencing positive teachers and the negative impact teachers have on students' motivation to learn, specifically on student anxiety and learned helplessness.

description: Das Kapitel zu Logistiknetzwerken und Plattformen beschreibt drei Fallstudien, in denen Unternehmen einen Anschluss an Logistiknetzwerke bzw. Beschaffungsplattformen verfolgt haben. In einem Logistiknetzwerk treffen verschiedene Akteure einer Supply Chain aufeinander, um sich auf gemeinsame Schnittstellen zu einigen. Im Vordergrund stehen die Koordination der Informationsflüsse und die Reduktion der Kosten. Diese Kooperationsformen treten vor allem in Branchen auf, in denen das Pooling des Bedarfs an bestimmten Gütern zu günstigeren Preisen führt (z.B. Konsumgüter), oder wo die Bedürfnisse ganzer Branchen abgebildet werden können (z.B. Medizinalprodukte).
