description: ING proteins act as readers and writers of the histone epigenetic code, affecting DNA repair, cellular senescence and apoptosis. My doctoral research focused upon understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the involvement of ING1 in stress signaling. My work began with elucidating novel interacting partners of ING proteins using a cross-species (yeast, fly, and human) bioinformatics-based approach. We identified 381 proteins in a yeast interactome analysis that interacted with ING and also had human counterparts. I then biochemically confirmed the validity of the screen, showing that ING1 interacts with three proteins involved in stress signaling: p38MAPK, MEKK4 and RAD50. Our bioinformatics screen indicated that ING proteins in yeast interact with several mitochondrial proteins. Given that ING1 and p53 can functionally interact and that p53 has a transcription-independent role in apoptosis in the mitochondria, I asked if ING1 might also function outside the nucleus. We found that ING1 translocates to the mitochondria in primary fibroblasts and in established epithelial cell lines in response to apoptosis-inducing stimuli, independent of cellular p53 status. I also determined that endogenous ING1 specifically interacts with the pro-apoptotic BCL2 machinery in the mitochondria, suggesting a model in which the ING1-BAX interaction promotes mitochondrial membrane permeability, thereby promoting apoptosis. Since cellular aging is widely thought to represent a form of telomere­induced stress, I also investigated if ING1 interacted with the telomeric protein TRF2 that is involved in DNA damage and repair pathways. We found that, indeed, endogenous ING1 protein interacted with TRF2. Interestingly, TRF2 protein levels were also seen to decrease in senescent primary fibroblasts without a concomitant decrease in TRF2 mRNA levels. Further, our data provides evidence for the fact that telomere binding of TRF2 is required for its stability thereby indicating that a decrease in TRF2 levels might affect the induction of senescence caused by telomere attrition. Lastly, I characterized the DNA damage response in young versus senescent fibroblasts in which ING1 levels are altered, using 53BP1 focus formation as a surrogate marker for DNA damage. I found that decreased ability of senescent cells to process DNA damage foci correlates well with the loss of ING1 b during senescence, consistent with a role for ING1 bin DNA repair.

description: Objective: We present the summarization system in the PErsonalized Retrieval and Summarization of Images, Video and Language (PERSIVAL) medical digital library. Although we discuss the context of our summarization research within the PERSIVAL platform, the primary focus of this article is on strategies to define and generate customized summaries. Methods and material: Our summarizer employs a unified user model to create a tailored summary of relevant documents for either a physician or lay person. The approach takes advantage of regularities in medical literature text structure and content to fulfill identified user needs. Results: The resulting summaries combine both machine-generated text and extracted text that comes from multiple input documents. Customization includes both group-based modeling for two classes of users, physician and lay person, and individually driven models based on a patient record. Conclusions: Our research shows that customization is feasible in a medical digital library.
Handmaids of medicine : Filipino nurses' liminality in infant mortality campaigns
Creators: name: Peralta, Christine Noelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In the 1920s, Philippine infant mortality campaigns called into question Filipino women’s capacity to care as both mothers and nurses. Therefore the campaign required a two-step process of first remodeling elite Filipino women as nurses who would then transfer their knowledge to mothers. In order to address the needs of the people, nurse education needed to be remodeled. Therefore, the colonial government partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) to remodel Philippine nursing through an experimental system that emphasized university training and specialization in public health. Even though the Foundation wanted to prove the universality of this system it was inevitably hampered by local conditions in the Philippines. It would take two decades for a university nurse training system to finally take shape. Although it took years for the university system to be established offshoots of the original program did take root, particularly the RF fellowship program that sponsored Filipino nurses to temporarily migrate to the U.S. to study abroad. By examining a variety of sources, including RF records, letters, newspapers, dissertations and conference transcripts, this paper considers the role Filipino student nurses played in infant mortality campaigns. Filipino nurses sought U.S. training, in order to have their medical authority recognized, but in seeking recognition within a system that saw Filipino nurses as inherently inferior due to their race, gender, and profession meant that their authority would perpetually be called into question. For Filipino nurses that took part in the colonial medical project they occupied a liminal space that both simultaneously validated and invalidated their knowledge. The dilemma of recognition was an issue that all Filipino migrants in the U.S. faced which created a constant state of surveillance within the community abroad. While some crumbled under the pressure of constant policing other Filipinos used it challenge the U.S. colonial project. At infant mortality health conferences, Filipino medical practitioners asserted their own medical authority. Even though these conferences were the same sites where both colonial and native medical practitioners invalidated nurse knowledge, nurses used it to legitimize native authority and the medical authority of women.
Comparing nanoparticle physical properties with bio-uptake

description: Nanoparticle-organismal interactions depend on nanoparticle (NP) physical properties and tissue type. Angiogenic vasculature, characteristic of neoplastic diseases and developing tissues, has fenestrations between endothelial cells in which NPs can accumulate. This phenomenon is integral to nanomedicine and nanotoxicology, so we systemically injected dye-impregnated, polystyrene FluoSpheres (FS) into angiogenic chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) to determine bioaccumulation patterns and associated kinetics within the blood. FS concentration was monitored in the CAM using two-photon excitation fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and bio-uptake rate constants in flowing vessels were determined. Negatively charged, carboxylate-coated FS under 500 nm in diameter showed uptake in flowing vessels, while amine FS immediately agglomerated and adhered to the endothelium. Carboxylate FS uptake rate constants showed linear dependence on R-;/, indicating that NP surface area footprint determines uptake rates. A predictive bio-uptake model was developed based on NP physical properties, which clarifies the passive nature of NP uptake into angiogenic tissues.

The problem of evil: a defence of the eipcurean position
Creators: name: Wetmore, Nycole Lorraine
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 121-127
description: Epicurus first clearly set out the logical problem of evil, challenging the idea that God can be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent, given suffering. Various philosophers attempt to solve the problem by denying evil, presenting a theodicy, or accepting a diminished deity. In this thesis, I analyze the efficacy of theodical attempts. I argue that there are no successful attempts that do not dilute at least one of the attributes. Among others, I discuss the views of Malebranche, whose theodicy compromises God's omnipotence; those of Bayle, which undermine God's benevolence; and various free-will 'solutions' which dilute or destroy omniscience. Finally, I consider another way of solving the problem, which is to accept a 'diminished deity', and discuss whether such an approach is successful. I conclude that there are no indefeasible theodicies, which ultimately suggests that the problem of evil remains a strong indication that there is no God.

description: The black-tailed prairie dog is a species at risk in Canada but little is known about the factors that currently govern its distribution and population dynamics at the northern edge of its range. This study focuses on exploring the potential influence of habitat factors on the distribution and demographic parameters on the population dynamics of black-tailed prairie dogs in southwestern Saskatchewan. Habitat analysis revealed that abiotic habitat characteristics influence the distribution of prairie dogs but low occupancy of predicted suitable habitat suggests that other factors such as limited dispersal may also play a role. Over the course of this study, the prairie dog population exhibited dramatic changes in population growth rates. These changes appear to be driven by synchronous crashes in reproductive rates among colonies and asynchronous variation in adult survival.

description: Although many random-phase approximation (RPA) calculations of the Gamow-Teller (GT) response exist, this is not the case for calculations going beyond the mean-field approximation. We apply a consistent model that includes the coupling of the GT resonance to low-lying vibrations, to nuclei of the $fp$ shell. Among other motivations, our goal is to see if the particle-vibration coupling can redistribute the low-lying GT$^+$ strength that is relevant for electron-capture processes in core-collapse supernova. We conclude that the lowering and fragmentation of that strength are consistent with the experimental findings and validate our model. However, the particle-vibration coupling cannot account for the quenching of the total value of the low-lying strength.

Syntactic Simplification and Text Cohesion

description: Syntactic simplification is the process of reducing the grammatical complexity of a text, while retaining its information content and meaning. The aim of syntactic simplification is to make text easier to comprehend for human readers, or process by programs. In this paper, we formalise the interactions that take place between syntax and discourse during the simplification process. This is important because the usefulness of syntactic simplification in making a text accessible to a wider audience can be undermined if the rewritten text lacks cohesion. We describe how various generation issues like sentence ordering, cue-word selection, referring-expression generation, determiner choice and pronominal use can be resolved so as to preserve conjunctive and anaphoric cohesive relations during syntactic simplification and present the results of an evaluation of our syntactic simplification system.

description: Non-linear models of composite materials are typically based on the principle of linear superposition, which descends directly from mixture theory. One exception in this regard is the composite based model proposed by Guo et al. (2007), where fibres and matrix were modelled separately as Neo-Hookean materials. By means of a suitable decomposition of the deformation gradient, an effective shear parameter was related to the shear deformation. In this thesis, we extended Guo's model, and proposed a model with an isotropic potential for the matrix and a general transversely isotropic potential for the fibres. The cardiac muscle can be considered as a biological composite material (consisting of myofibres and extracellular matrix) that is naturally subjected to large deformations; therefore, we chose this material as an example of application of the proposed model. We found a good agreement between the predictions of the proposed model and the available experimental data.
The Pyramid Method: Incorporating human content selection variation in summarization evaluation.

description: Human variation in content selection in summarization has given rise to some fundamental research questions: How can one incorporate the observed variation in suitable evaluation measures? How can such measures reflect the fact that summaries conveying different content can be equally good and informative? In this article, we address these very questions by proposing a method for analysis of multiple human abstracts into semantic content units. Such analysis allows us not only to quantify human variation in content selection, but also to assign empirical importance weight to different content units. It serves as the basis for an evaluation method, the Pyramid Method, that incorporates the observed variation and is predictive of different equally informative summaries. We discuss the reliability of content unit annotation, the properties of Pyramid scores, and their correlation with other evaluation methods.

September 11 Terrorist Attacks (2001)

description: In the aftermath of September 11, the people and government of the United States confronted a new reality--so too did the health care community. The attacks revealed a number of vulnerabilities with respect to the health care system's infrastructure and ability to respond to terrorism. Although September 11 represents an unprecedented disaster in the United States, one would shudder to imagine the repercussions if biological or chemical agents, radioactive material, or nuclear weapons had been employed. The truth is, September 11 could have been much worse. Yet in the 3 1/2 years since the attacks, arguably little progress has been made.
Accuracy of a Priority Medical Dispatch System in Dispatching Cardiac Emergencies in a Suburban Community

description: Introduction: Over-triage of patients by emergency medical services (EMS) dispatch is thought to be an acceptable alternative to under-triage, which may delay how quickly life-saving care reaches a patient. Previous studies have looked at advanced life support (ALS) misutilization in urban- and county-based EMS systems and have attempted to analyze how dispatch methods either contribute to or alleviate this problem. Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between dispatches of a cardiac nature in a Medical Priority Dispatch (MPD) system, and the actual clinical diagnosis as determined by an emergency department physician. Methods: Calls for emergency medical assistance in a suburban community outside of a major metropolitan area were surveyed over a three-month period. Medical Priority Dispatch protocols determined that 104 of these calls were cardiac-related. Of these emergency calls, 56 (53.8%) patients were transported to the local community hospital and treated by the emergency physician. A retrospective review of the medical records was conducted to determine whether the patient had a cardiac-related discharge diagnosis from the emergency department. Results: Sixteen (28.6%) of the patients in this cohort were diagnosed with a cardiac-related condition upon discharge from the emergency department. Forty (71.4%) were diagnosed with a non-cardiac-related condition. The positive, predictive value of the dispatch protocol for the detection of an actual cardiac emergency in this EMS system was 28.6%.
Conclusion: In this suburban community, the MPD system may over-triage emergency medical responses to cardiac emergencies. This can result in the only ALS (paramedic) unit in the community being unavailable in certain situations. Future studies should be conducted to determine what level (in any) of over-triage is appropriate in EMS systems using a MPD system.

description: Models of rotationally-driven dynamos in stellar radiative zones have suggested that magnetohydrodynamic transport of angular momentum and chemical composition can dominate over the otherwise purely hydrodynamic processes. A proper consideration of the interaction between rotation and magnetic fields is therefore essential. Previous studies have focused on a magnetic model where the magnetic field strength is derived as a function of the stellar structure and angular momentum distribution. We have adapted our one-dimensional stellar rotation code, RoSE, to model the poloidal and toroidal magnetic field strengths with a pair of time-dependent advection-diffusion equations coupled to the equations for the evolution of the angular momentum distribution and stellar structure. This produces a much more complete, though still reasonably simple, model for the magnetic field evolution. Our model reproduces well observed surface nitrogen enrichment of massive stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud. In particular it reproduces a population of slowly-rotating nitrogen-enriched stars that cannot be explained by rotational mixing alone alongside the traditional rotationlly-enriched stars. The model further predicts a strong mass-dependency for the dynamo-driven field. Above a threshold mass, the strength of the magnetic dynamo decreases abruptly and so we predict that more massive stars are much less likely to support a dynamo-driven field than less massive stars.

European scientists in Canada : the transatlantic brain drain
Creators: name: Drenker, Michelle Irene
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study focuses on the emigration of scientists from the European Union to Canada, and the resulting ‘brain drain’ for Europe. While brain drain encompasses a wide array of professions and industries, the scientific research community is relatively cohesive, highly internationalized, and affords an arguably significant level of mobility for successful contributors. The European Union has attempted to remedy this loss of ‘star scientists’ by implementing a variety of schemes and initiatives aimed at re-attracting and retaining top scientists in Europe. Through the creation of the European Research Area, the EU has made an effort to better coordinate scientific research and development across member-states. At the same time, the allocation of funding to reintegration grants provides economic incentive for scientists who have left to return to Europe. Both schemes aim to position the European research community as a key player in the global competition for scientific talent. These initiatives notwithstanding, a significant percentage of scientists who have left have Europe have no intention to return. The question arises: why are European scientists emigrating to North America, specifically Canada, and why do they remain there, despite the variety of policies and programs aimed to attract and retain the highly skilled workforce in the European Union? The question is examined through qualitative methods, including both policy analysis as well as primary data gathered from 20 in-depth interviews. The project provides a close-up perspective on the motivations and concerns underpinning the migration decisions of these ‘star scientists’, and the ways in which they navigate not only the research sector, but also the world.
The Impact of Parental Wealth on Early Living Standards in Israel

description: This article examines the role of parental wealth as a determinant of the living standards of young adults in Israel. Living standards were examined in terms of four measures: home ownership, car ownership, schooling after marriage, and a subjective evaluation by the respondent. Israel is a strategic site for examining the interplay between parental wealth and living standards because of the particular organization of its housing market. The study focuses on the role of parental wealth in the early years of marriage because young couples in Israel have great financial need at that time but are liquidity constrained. The main finding is that, net of indicators of parental SES and a couple’s own income, parental wealth plays a substantial role in the living standards of young adults.

description: Neutron stars may harbour the true ground state of matter in the form of strange quark matter. If present, this type of matter is expected to be a color superconductor, a consequence of quark pairing with respect to the color/flavor degrees of freedom. The stellar magnetic field threading the quark core becomes a color-magnetic admixture and, in the event that superconductivity is of type II, leads to the formation of color-magnetic vortices. In this Letter we show that the volume-averaged color-magnetic vortex tension force should naturally lead to a significant degree of non-axisymmetry in systems like radio pulsars. We show that gravitational radiation from such color-magnetic `mountains' in young pulsars like the Crab and Vela could be observable by the future Einstein Telescope, thus becoming a probe of paired quark matter in neutron stars. The detectability threshold can be pushed up toward the sensitivity level of Advanced LIGO if we invoke an interior magnetic field about a factor ten stronger than the surface polar field.

description: We consider spin-1 Haldane chains with single-ion anisotropy, which exists in known Haldane chain materials. We develop a perturbation theory in terms of anisotropy, where magnon-magnon interaction is important even in the low temperature limit. The exact two-particle form factor in the O(3) nonlinear sigma model leads to quantitative predictions on several dynamical properties including dynamical structure factor and electron spin resonance frequency shift. These agree very well with numerical results, and with experimental data on the Haldane chain material Ni(C$_5$H$_{14}$N$_2$)$_2$N$_3$(PF$_6$).

description: A cadre of experts and stakeholders from government agencies, professional organizations, emergency medicine and response, pediatrics, mental health, and disaster preparedness were gathered to review and summarize the existing data on the needs of children in the planning, preparation, and response to disasters or terrorism. This review was followed by development of evidence-based consensus guidelines and recommendations on the needs of children in disasters, including chemical, biological, and radiological terrorism. An evidence-based consensus process was used in conjunction with a modified Delphi approach for selection of topic areas and discussion points. These recommendations and guidelines represent the first national evidence-based standards for pediatric disaster and terrorism preparedness.
Turbulence in Fluid and Plasma: Search for a New Paradigm

description: A first principle explanation of the origin of intermittency and nonlinear structure formation in the Lagrangian velocity increments of a turbulent flow is presented in the context of a scale invariant analytical formalism that is being developed recently. The copious generation of power laws and nonlinear exponents in the structure functions are shown to follow quite naturally in the present formalism.

description: Three waves of terrorism have ushered in a new era in public health, safety, and health care in the United States: The February 26, 1993 explosions at New York's World Trade Center, the April 19, 1995 bombing at the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, and the September 11, 2001 attacks, along with the anthrax cases that followed. Those events have awakened federal, state, and local governments to the urgency of improving their disaster-response capabilities. The health professions have also stepped forward to delineate the roles of their members in disasters, establish minimum competencies, and develop new training programs. Physician assistants have a strong tradition of responding to crisis. In all likelihood, PAs will be among the first responders to any disaster in the United States. It is incumbent on the profession and on individual PAs to understand what their roles would be in a disaster and to prepare accordingly.

title: ‘They Think They Know Us Better’: Aboriginal Experiences of Education, Health and Employment in Contemporary South Australia
Creators: name: Dunnett, A
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2021

description: The annual reports released by the Australian Government over the past ten years indicate that little progress has been made to address the gap in equality between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians. It is in this context that this research adopts an ethnographical approach, and echoes the post-colonial turn in anthropology by placing the primary importance on the views of the Aboriginal Australians themselves and thus, allowing thick descriptions to be developed. This research places the voices of Aboriginal Australians at the centre of it, to understand their lived experiences within education, health and employment, which in turn identifies factors that impact the efforts of closing the gap in equality. Members of two Aboriginal communities in South Australia provided their in-depth perspectives, opinions and experiences about education, health and employment, while grounded theory helped to identify key factors impacting on these, namely the inclusion or exclusion of Aboriginal Australians in contemporary society and politics, the fragmentation of trust between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians, and the importance of Aboriginal culture. The lived experiences of Aboriginal Australians provide examples and important explanations of how services and initiatives within education, health and employment are received, and highlight how they are interconnected in their everyday lives. The findings show that although current social services and initiatives are not necessarily failing to address the issues they target, the lived experiences of some Aboriginal Australians reflect that it is the fractious relationships between Aboriginal Australians, the Australian Government and wider Australian society that have a direct impact on their success. The research reveals that Aboriginal Australians’ reluctance to accept and access some health, education and employment services is a key problem, which results in the ineffectiveness of these services. This thesis illustrates why some services and initiatives available to the communities are not as effective as others, and suggests that Aboriginal culture is a significant underpinning factor present in successful services and initiatives, but less evident in those considered ineffective. The inclusion of the actual voices of members of two Aboriginal communities in South Australia helps to highlight key attributes of effective services and initiatives, which have enabled possible suggestions for improving the lived experiences of Aboriginal Australians, which in turn support the efforts in closing the gap in equality.

description: Physical fish habitat models have been criticized for poor biological realism and a failure to relate with population metrics. I modeled channel hydraulics using a two­dimensional hydrodynamic model and varied fish size, invertebrate drift density, and temperature to compare longitudinal and seasonal trends in physical and bioenergetic fish habitat quality in two idealized stream systems differing in hydraulic geometry (gradient, depth, and velocity) and a natural fourth-order stream, respectively. In the idealized streams, physical and bioenergetic habitat quality increased asymptotically with stream size for all fish sizes, while peaking in adult trout due to the positive and negative effects of increased drift densities and temperatures, respectively. Although similarities between fish sizes were observed, significant correlations between seasonal physical and bioenergetic habitat quality for all fish sizes in the natural stream were not detected. Revisions to the bioenergetic model framework and the inclusion of temperature-dependent consumption may improve model predictions.
Rosso's Fury : engraving, antique sculpture, and the topos of death
Creators: name: Andersen, Lisa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis examines an engraving commonly known as the Fury (1524) that was designed by the Florentine painter Rosso Fiorentino and engraved by Gian Jacopo Caraglio in Rome. The Fury exhibits an indeterminacy of both form and content that was rarely seen in contemporary images at a time that continued to favour narrative clarity. The engraving is methodologically interesting because it brings to the foreground what we do when we look at images – make meaning from form. It is my contention that the Fury is very much an image that was made in 1524 Rome, a time and place in thrall with the interpretation of the antique sculptures being exhumed from the earth. It was also a city that was on the cusp of dramatic changes in print production and consumption, a change in which the Fury played an important role. While scholars have observed the references to the Laocoön in the engraving, these references have been characterized as a subversion of the famous sculpture’s heroic pathos. I contend, however, that the desiccated body of the main figure aligns with contemporary accounts of the Trojan priest as volatile, wild, anguished, and damned. Beyond the specific reference to the Laocoön, the Fury should be considered in light of the topos of death associated with the rediscovery of antique sculpture during the sixteenth century. This rediscovery introduced material objects into the artistic consciousness that were characterized by disjunction, inconsistency, and discontinuity, both as a result of physical fragmentation and the loss of knowledge and sources due to the vagaries of time. Fragmented sculpture prompted viewers (often artists) to complete the form and in so doing, to determine its content - to make meaning. The Fury registers this concern in the indeterminacy of form and content thereby exposing the contingency of interpretation. I argue that the two media, sculpture and engraving respectively, had shared material affinities, both involving the digging or cutting away of matter, that made engraving a particularly fertile place to explore the hermeneutic issues raised by antique sculpture.
