Mechanism of angiostatin generation from plasminogen
Creators: name: Kwon, Mijung
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 189-214
description: The protein plasminogen circulates in the blood as an inactive zymogen whereas proteolytic cleavage of the molecule produces the major extracellular protease, plasmin, which plays a crucial role in mediating cancer cell invasion and metastasis. The further cleavage of plasmin produces an antiangiogenic fragment called angiostatin. Since the first identification of angiostatin, many laboratories have suggested different mechanisms of angiostatin generation. Our laboratory has shown that annexin II tetramer (AIIt) functions as a plasminogen receptor and that AIIt enhances the destruction of plasmin via stimulation of the plasmin autoproteolysis, which results in the generation of a 61 kDa fragment. The hypothesis of this thesis was that AIIt participates in angiostatin formation. In this thesis, the following new findings are presented. First, the plasminogen fragment generated by plasmin autoproteolysis was identified as a novel antiangiogenic plasminogen fragment which we named A₆₁. In contrast to previous reports which claimed that antiangiogenic plasminogen fragments were produced exclusively by cancer cells, A₆₁ was shown to be produced by normal cells, and was also present in normal mouse and human sera. Second, a novel small antiangiogenic plasminogen fragment produced by cells was discovered and named p22. We demonstrated that p22 was a potent antiangiogenic protein that was produced by normal cells as well as cancer cells. However, unlike A₆₁, p22 was not detected in the sera from both human and mouse or in human urine. The mechanism by which cells generate p22 is not known at the present time, but it appears to be different from that of A₆₁. Third, AIIt was shown to act as a plasmin reductase, and A₆₁ generation was regulated by the extracellular expression of Allt in HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells. These findings allowed us to develop a model to define the mechanism by which HTl 080 cells generate A₆₁ from plasminogen. Although the intrinsic plasmin reductase activity of AIIt is distinct from that of the traditional protein reductases, it is suspected that AIIt functions as a catalyst. Thioredoxin reduced the oxidized AIIt both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that thioredoxin might be one of the candidate Allt-recharging factor(s). These findings suggest that AIIt may play a role in angiogenesis by regulating the cellular release of an antiangiogenic protein.

description: We are concerned with the optimal control problem of the well known nonlocal thermistor problem, i.e., in studying the heat transfer in the resistor device whose electrical conductivity is strongly dependent on the temperature. Existence of an optimal control is proved. The optimality system consisting of the state system coupled with adjoint equations is derived, together with a characterization of the optimal control. Uniqueness of solution to the optimality system, and therefore the uniqueness of the optimal control, is established. The last part is devoted to numerical simulations.

description: Power spectra of de-projected images of late-type galaxies in gas and/or dust emission are very useful diagnostics of the dynamics and stability of their interstellar medium. Previous studies have shown that the power spectra can be approximated as two power-laws, a shallow one at large scales (larger than 500 pc) and a steeper one at small scales, with the break between the two corresponding to the line-of-sight thickness of the galaxy disk. We present a thorough analysis of the power spectra of the dust and gas emission at several wavelengths in the nearby galaxy M33. In particular, we use the recently obtained images at five wavelengths by PACS and SPIRE onboard Herschel. The large dynamical range (2-3 dex in scale) of most images allow us to determine clearly the change in slopes from -1.5 to -4, with some variations with wavelength. The break scale is increasing with wavelength, from 100 pc at 24 and 100micron to 350 pc at 500micron, suggesting that the cool dust lies in a thicker disk than the warm dust, may be due to star formation more confined to the plane. The slope at small scale tends to be steeper at longer wavelength, meaning that the warmer dust is more concentrated in clumps. Numerical simulations of an isolated late-type galaxy, rich in gas and with no bulge, like M33, are carried out, in order to better interpret these observed results. Varying the star formation and feedback parameters, it is possible to obtain a range of power-spectra, with two power-law slopes and breaks, which nicely bracket the data. The small-scale power-law is indeed reflecting the 3D behaviour of the gas layer, steepening strongly while the feedback smoothes the structures, by increasing the gas turbulence. M33 appears to correspond to a fiducial model with an SFR of $\sim$ 0.7 Mo/yr, with 10% supernovae energy coupled to the gas kinematics.

Madison or Madison Avenue?: corporate challenges facing the liberal protection of free speech and personal autonomy in the mass media
Creators: name: Hughes, Sean Robert
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 107-110
description: This thesis explores whether laissez-faire regulation of the content of mass media communications protects the sort of free speech required for liberal democratic government. I argue that policies derived from traditional interpretations of liberal theory, which favour barring state activism, no longer protect the dissemination of a plurality of views. I examine the legal concept of corporate personhood as connected to free speech and argue that it is inappropriate in itself, and damaging to liberal democracy in its consequences. I also argue that the content of speech stemming from laissez-faire regulatory policies inhibits autonomy, understood as a capacity and condition. My argument shows that state non-intervention in the regulation of the content of speech does not promote the goals which some proponents of this approach claim are advanced, and there is reason to seek new ways to promote liberal freedom of speech.

description: Scanning-probe and wide-field magnetic microscopes based on Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have enabled remarkable advances in the study of biology and materials, but each method has drawbacks. Here, we implement an alternative method for nanoscale magnetic microscopy based on optical control of the charge state of NV centers in a dense layer near the diamond surface. By combining a donut-beam super-resolution technique with optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we imaged the magnetic fields produced by single 30-nm iron-oxide nanoparticles. The magnetic microscope has a lateral spatial resolution of ~100 nm, and it resolves the individual magnetic dipole features from clusters of nanoparticles with interparticle spacings down to ~190 nm. The magnetic feature amplitudes are more than an order of magnitude larger than those obtained by confocal magnetic microscopy due to the smaller characteristic NV-nanoparticle distance within nearby sensing voxels. We analyze the magnetic point-spread function and sensitivity as a function of the microscope's spatial resolution and identify sources of background fluorescence that limit the present performance, including diamond second-order Raman emission and imperfect NV charge-state control. Our method, which uses less than 10 mW laser power and can be parallelized by patterned illumination, introduces a new format for nanoscale magnetic imaging.

description: Changes in the level of synchronization and desynchronization in coupled oscillator systems due to an external stimulus is called event related synchronization or desynchronization (ERS/ERD). Such changes occur in real life systems where the collective activity of the entities of a coupled system is affected by some external influence. In order to understand the role played by the external influence in the occurrence of ERD and ERS, we study a system of coupled nonlinear oscillators in the presence of an external stimulus signal. We find that the phenomena of ERS and ERD are generic and occur in all types of coupled oscillator systems. We also find that the same external stimulus signal can cause ERS and ERD depending upon the strength of the signal. We identify the stability of the ERS and ERD states and also find analytical and numerical boundaries between the different synchronization regimes involved in the occurrence of ERD and ERS.

Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 157-162
description: This research outlines the preparation of nanostructured materials by the self­assembly of functional block copolymers in both the bulk phase and in solution. The polymer poly(solketal methacrylate )-block-poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate )-block­poly(allyl methacrylate) [PSMA-b-PHEMA-b-PAMA] was prepared by sequential living anionic polymerization and formed spherical mixed corona micelles in toluene with the PSMA and PAMA blocks sharing the corona of the micelles. Following partial cinnamation of the HEMA block to CEMA, permanent nanospheres were formed by photo­dimerization of the core CEMA moieties. Tellurium mediated living radical polymerization (TERP) was shown to be useful in the controlled polymerization of the homopolymer poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIP AM), the random copolymer [P(NIP AM-r-AA)] and the block copolymer PNIPAM­b-PHEA-TMS, where AA denotes acrylic acid and PHEA-TMS denotes poly(2- trimethylsilylethyl acrylate). The PHEA block of the diblock copolymer was fully cinnamated to give [PNIPAM-b-PCEA], with a PNIPAM volume fraction of 29.6%. The bulk phase morphology of the PNIPAM-b-PCEA copolymer revealed that the PNIPAM block formed cylindrical domains within a matrix of PCEA.

description: We developed a model for the enhancement of the heat flux by spherical and elongated nano- particles in sheared laminar flows of nano-fluids. Besides the heat flux carried by the nanoparticles the model accounts for the contribution of their rotation to the heat flux inside and outside the particles. The rotation of the nanoparticles has a twofold effect, it induces a fluid advection around the particle and it strongly influences the statistical distribution of particle orientations. These dynamical effects, which were not included in existing thermal models, are responsible for changing the thermal properties of flowing fluids as compared to quiescent fluids. The proposed model is strongly supported by extensive numerical simulations, demonstrating a potential increase of the heat flux far beyond the Maxwell-Garnet limit for the spherical nanoparticles. The road ahead which should lead towards robust predictive models of heat flux enhancement is discussed.

description: A snow and ice ablation model was developed for the Haig Glacier, Rocky Mountains, Alberta through measurements of mass balance, ablation, and albedo over the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 mass balance years. Results suggest that the difference in summer balance between the two seasons is partly due to the albedo effects of summer snowfalls in 2002 and the large area of ice that was exposed in 2003. Albedo measurements show a decrease in snow albedo with time that is a function of temperature, and that variation of albedo with changing solar angle is important. Ice albedo showed weak elevation and spatial dependence. Ablation measurement comparisons show that the model is useful for modelling ablation over hourly and seasonal time-scales. However, results indicate that the weak dependence of ablation on elevation in the model as formulated may make application to glaciers with greater elevation span than the Haig Glacier difficult.

description: Using archival HST/WFC3 images centered on the young HD 97950 star cluster in the giant HII region NGC 3603, we computed the pixel-to-pixel distribution of the color excess, E(B-V)g, of the gas associated with this cluster from its H_alpha/Pa_beta flux ratio. At the assumed distance of 6.9 kpc, the resulting median color excess within 1 pc from the cluster center is E(B-V)g =1.51 \pm 0.04 mag. Outside the cluster (at r > 1 pc), the color excess is seen to increase with cluster-centric distance towards both North and South, reaching a value of about 2.2 mag at r = 2 pc from the cluster center. The radial dependence of E(B-V)g westward of the cluster appears rather flat at about 1.55 mag over the distance range 1.2 pc < r < 3 pc. In the eastern direction, E(B-V)g steadily increases from 1.5 mag at r = 1 pc to 1.7 mag at r = 2 pc, and stays nearly constant at 1.7 mag for 2 pc < r < 3 pc. The different radial profiles and the pixel-to-pixel variations of E(B-V)g clearly indicate the presence of significant differential reddening across the 4.9 pc \times 4.3 pc area centered on the HD 97950 star cluster. We interpret the variations of E(B-V)g as the result of stellar radiation and stellar winds interacting with an inhomogeneous dusty local interstellar medium (ISM) whose density varies spatially. From the E(B-V)g values measured along the rims of the prominent pillars MM1 and MM2 in the southwest and southeast of the HD 97950 cluster we estimate an H2 column density of log10(N(H2))=21.7 and extrapolate it to log10(N(H2))=23 in the pillars' interior. We find the pillars to be closer to us than the central ionizing cluster and suggest that star formation may be occurring in the pillar heads.

description: The aim of this paper is to establish an analogue of Logvinenko-Sereda's theorem for the Fourier-Bessel transform (or Hankel transform) $\ff_α$ of order $α>-1/2$. Roughly speaking, if we denote by $PW_α(b)$ the Paley-Wiener space of $L^2$-functions with Fourier-Bessel transform supported in $[0,b]$, then we show that the restriction map $f\to f|_Ω$ is essentially invertible on $PW_α(b)$ if and only if $Ω$ is sufficiently dense. Moreover, we give an estimate of the norm of the inverse map. As a side result we prove a Bernstein type inequality for the Fourier-Bessel transform.
Leukocyte recruitment in contact sensitivity

description: Contact sensitivity is an inflammatory disorder characterized by leukocyte recruitment. We used intravital microscopy to directly visualize leukocyte rolling and adhesion. By blocking specific adhesion molecules, we elucidated the molecular mechanisms mediating early leukocyte recruitment to be E- and P-selectin and then demonstrated that leukocyte recruitment in the late phase had a different adhesive profile (mainly a4- integrin). Complete blockade of E- and P-selectin within the first 2 hours of leukocyte­endothelial cell interactions eliminated selectin-independent leukocyte recruitment at 24 hours. Specific elimination of CD4, lymphocytes in the early phase eliminated the late response. Addition of these same CD4+ lymphocytes two hours after antigen challenge was too late for these cells to home to the skin. We further established that mast cells act to modulate the T-lymphocyte response in CS. In the absence of mast cells, T1-1l cells preferentially adhere to vascular endothelium, whereas T112 cells preferentially adhere in wild-type mice.

description: Introduction:  According to National Health and Morbidity Survey 2015, about 22.8% of Malaysian population aged 15 years and above were smokers. The rate of sustained abstinence for at least six months were only 3%-5% (self-quit) and 19%-33% (opt for pharmacotherapy). Data from Quit Smoking Programme in PKDKT indicated only 31.8% of patients successfully quit smoking from 2017 to 2019. Objective: This study was aimed to explore the barriers to smoking cessation among patients in PKDKT. Methods: Patients were selected from data registry of Quit Smoking Clinic in PKDKT. A one-to-one interview was conducted using nine semi-structured questions. Purposive sampling was carried out until saturation point reached. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, coded manually and thematically analysed using a constant comparison approach. Results: 30 patients were interviewed. Six-themes emerged from the data on 1) Personal and lifestyle factors; Patients lack of self-control, self-confidents ,motivations and easily influenced by friends. 2) Misconception; Patients misinterpreted cessation effects was harmful to their health and quality of life 3) Side effect of quit smoking medications; including varenicline tablets, nicotine gum and patch. They experienced headache, drowsiness and insomnia. 4) Recovering from acute disease; Five patients claimed they stop smoking during an asthma attack and resume after exacerbation resolved. 5) Withdrawal symptoms; Patients resumed smoking to eliminate intolerable withdrawal symptoms.6) Readiness to stop smoking; Some patients claimed they were not ready and involuntarily joined the Quit Smoking Programme. Conclusion: Clinicians and Quit Smoking Programme team have to tackle all identified barriers to enhance successful rate of smoking cessation.

description: Bibliography: p. 57-65
description: The Calgary Health Region implemented an Acute Pain Service (APS) over a decade ago in an effort to address pain management concerns in post-surgical patients, however, there has been minimal assessment of its effectiveness. This study found that the APS does make a tangible difference to patient satisfaction, pain intensity and pain frequency in post-surgical inpatients. Patients who received APS care reported adequate levels of patient satisfaction and lower levels of pain intensity while resting and moving compared to the standard post-surgical group (SPS) group. They were also more likely to report no pain or mild pain while resting and moving and report a lower frequency of moderate to severe pain. Although not a research question it was noted that patients who received APS care were more likely to receive an explanation about their pain management compared to the SPS group. These outcomes are all clinically significant when assessing the effectiveness of the APS.

description: Accurate analysis of microscopy images is hindered by the presence of noise. This noise is usually signal-dependent and often additionally correlated along rows or columns of pixels. Current self- and unsupervised denoisers can address signal-dependent noise, but none can reliably remove noise that is also row- or column-correlated. Here, we present the first fully unsupervised deep learning-based denoiser capable of handling imaging noise that is row-correlated as well as signal-dependent. Our approach uses a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) with a specially designed autoregressive decoder. This decoder is capable of modeling row-correlated and signal-dependent noise but is incapable of independently modeling underlying clean signal. The VAE therefore produces latent variables containing only clean signal information, and these are mapped back into image space using a proposed second decoder network. Our method does not require a pre-trained noise model and can be trained from scratch using unpaired noisy data. We benchmark our approach on microscopy datatsets from a range of imaging modalities and sensor types, each with row- or column-correlated, signal-dependent noise, and show that it outperforms existing self- and unsupervised denoisers.

description: We consider general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics from a charged multifluids point-of-view, taking a variational approach as our starting point. We develop the case of two charged components in detail, accounting for a phenomenological resistivity, providing specific examples for pair plasmas and proton-electron systems. We discuss both cold, low velocity, plasmas and hot systems where we account for a dynamical entropy component. The results for the cold case (which accord with recent work in the literature) provide a complete model for resistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, clarifying the assumptions that lead to various models that have been used in astrophysical applications. The analysis of the hot case is (as far as we are aware) novel, accounting for the relaxation times that are required to ensure causality and demonstrating the explicit coupling between fluxes of heat and charge.

description: We show that a large class of bosonic spin-singlet Fractional Quantum Hall model wave-functions and their quasi-hole excitations can be written in terms of Jack polynomials with a prescribed symmetry. Our approach describes new spin-singlet quantum Hall states at filling fraction nu = 2k/(2r-1) and generalizes the (k,r) spin-polarized Jack polynomial states. The NASS and Halperin spin singlet states emerge as specific cases of our construction. The polynomials express many-body states which contain configurations obtained from a root partition through a generalized squeezing procedure involving spin and orbital degrees of freedom. The corresponding generalized Pauli principle for root partitions is obtained, allowing for counting of the quasihole states. We also extract the central charge and quasihole scaling dimension, and propose a conjecture for the underlying CFT of the (k, r) spin-singlet Jack states.

description: Cerebral vasospasm is a primary complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Despite a great deal of research regarding the pathogenesis of arterial vasospasm, the mechanisms involved still remain poorly understood and, as a result, the treatment strategies employed today have controversial results in the prevention and treatment of this disease. Within the cerebral circulation, the rate of total cerebral blood flow is held within a relatively narrow range, in spite of wide variations of systemic blood pressure. Among the local regulatory mechanisms, a great deal of interest has been focused on the vascular endothelium and potassium channels, with both believed to play a major role in the regulation of vascular tone. Evidence indicates that the abnormalities in cerebro­vascular function after subarachnoid hemorrhage, in vivo, may involve alterations m endothelial and/or potassium channel function. The present study was undertaken to examine endothelium-dependent and potassium-induced relaxation of rat basilar artery, as well as the involvement of potassium channels in the relaxation mechanisms, under control conditions and in a single injection rat model of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Effects of vasoactive agonists and potassium channel modulators on basilar artery tone were examined using a wire myograph. This study provides evidence for a decrease in endothelial-dependent relaxation in spite of an apparent increase in eNOS protein expression after subarachnoid hemorrhage in the rat single injection model. We found that nitric oxide synthesis/release in the endothelium is dependent on endothelial membrane potential and this mechanism appears to be altered after subarachnoid hemorrhage. We also demonstrated for the first time that the ability of extracellular potassium to induce relaxation of basilar artery is partly dependent on nitric oxide release from the endothelium. In addition, this study demonstrates an increase in ouabain sensitivity of the tissue as well as a possible decrease in inward rectifier potassium channel expression/function after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Pretreatment with cerebro-spinal fluid from subarachnoid hemorrhage, but not control rats depressed acetylcholine- and authentic nitric oxide-induced relaxation of basilar arteries. Treatment with cerebro-spinal fluid obtained from control rats and rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage induced rapid changes in ouabain sensitivity of the tissue.

description: An equilibrium phase diagram for the shape of compressively strained free-hanging films is developed by total strain energy minimization. For small strain gradients Δε, the film wrinkles, while for sufficiently large Δε, a phase transition from wrinkling to bending occurs. We consider competing relaxation mechanisms for free-hanging films, which have rolled up into tube structures, and we provide an upper limit for the maximum achievable number of tube rotations.

Discovery of a super-Li rich turn-off star in the metal poor globular cluster NGC 6397

description: We report on the discovery of a super-Li rich turn-off star in the old (12 Gyr), metal poor ([Fe/H]=-2.1 dex) globular cluster (GC) NGC 6397, based on high-resolution MIKE/Magellan spectra. This star shows an unusually high lithium abundance of A(Li)_NLTE = 4.03 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.14 dex (or, 4.21, accounting for possible contamination from a binary companion) that lies above the canonical Li-plateau by a factor of 100. This is the highest Li enhancement found in a Galactic GC dwarf star to date. We discuss several enhancement mechanisms, but none can unambiguously explain such a high overabundance. The spectrum of the star shows a possible indication of binarity, but its line strengths and chemical element abundance ratios are fully compatible with other turn-off stars in this GC, seemingly ruling out mass transfer from an AGB companion as origin of the high A(Li). A possible cause is an interaction with a red giant that has undergone cool bottom processing.

description: Many-body effects are known to play a crucial role in the electronic and optical properties of solids and nano-structures. Nevertheless the majority of theoretical and numerical approaches able to capture the influence of Coulomb correlations are restricted to the linear response regime. In this work we introduce a novel approach based on a real-time solution of the electronic dynamics.The proposed approach reduces to the well-known Bethe-Salpeter equation in the linear limit regime and it makes possible, at the same time, to investigate correlation effects in nonlinear phenomena. We show the flexibility and numerical stability of the proposed approach by calculating the dielectric constants and the effect of a strong pulse excitation in bulk {\it h}-BN.

A non-invasive investigation of polythermal glacial hydrology: Stagnation Glacier, Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada
Creators: name: Irvine-Fynn, Tristram D.L.
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 146-180
description: In comparison to temperate examples, there are relatively few studies to date focused on the hydrology of polythermal glaciers. In particular, seasonal evolution of hydrological architecture at high latitude glaciers is poorly understood, with exception of a number of recent hydrochemical and dye tracing analyses. However, contemporary research has shown ground penetrating radar (GPR) to be effective tool for imaging englacial structures. To investigate seasonal evolution of englacial, subglacial and ice-marginal hydrology at the informally named Stagnation Glacier, Bylot Island, Nunavut, repeated sub-surface surveys using GPR were conducted, complemented by dye tracing and analysis of proglacial in­stream sediment transport. Results from all three methods strongly indicated progressive, yet subtle development of a polythermal glacier's hydrology through the summer. This work documents structural thermo-hydrologic progression at a polythermal glacier, and the integration of results, and interpretations presented here have potentially significant implications for the conceptual understanding of Arctic glacial hydrology, including water pressure distribution.
