description: An investigation of oleic acid and 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic (DHB) acid aerosols was carried out using an aerosol mass spectrometer with pulsed lasers for vaporization and ionization and an ion trap for mass analysis. The extent of ion fragmentation was studied as a function of both vaporization energy and ionization wavelength. Low CO2 laser energies in the vaporization stage and near-threshold single photon ionization resulted in the least fragmented mass spectra. For DHB, only the molecular ion was observed, but for oleic acid fragmentation could not be eliminated. Tandem MS of the main fragment peak from oleic acid was carried out and provided a tool for compound identification. Photoionization efficiency curves were also collected for both DHB and oleic acid and the appearance energies of both parent and fragment ions were measured. Evidence for fragmentation occurring post-ionization is given by the similar appearance energies for both the parent and fragment ions. The results from this study were compared with those from similar experiments undertaken with time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzers. The degree of fragmentation in the ion trap was considerably higher than that seen with TOF systems, particularly for oleic acid. This was attributed to the long storage interval in the ion trap which allows time for metastable ions to decay. Differences in the degree of fragmentation between the ion trap and TOF studies also provided further evidence for fragmentation occurring post-ionization. For 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, the long delay prior to mass analysis also allowed time for reactions with background gases, in this case water, to occur.

 Trochocercus vivax Neave, 1909: 129 (Katanga, S.E. Congo Free State).
 Now Trochocercus cyanomelas vivax Neave, 1909. See Urban et al., 1997: 526, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 285.
Syntype: AMNH 650066, immature male, collected on the Dikulwe River, Katanga, southeast Congo (Kinshasa), on 29 March 1907, by S.A. Neave (no. 121). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Neave gave neither the number nor sex of his specimens and did not designate a type. In his later account of the collection, Neave (1910a: 130) listed his three specimens: an adult male and female, which he called ‘‘types’’ and figured in plate 1, and the above immature male (no. 121). His listing of the two adult specimens as ‘‘types’’ is an invalid designation of a lectotype; they are correctly listed as syntypes in BMNH by Warren and Harrison (1971: 588). The immature male, AMNH 650066, is also a syntype, marked on Neave’s label as ‘‘ Trochocercus vivax Cotype’’, apparently by Neave. This syntype was not listed by Hartert in any of his lists of types in the Rothschild Collection and had not previously been included in the AMNH type collection.
 Neave (1910a: 80, 82) noted that between 9 March and 7 April 1907 he was in the upper Dikulwe Valley at 3500–4000 ft, and he showed this locality on a sketch-map. For recent molecular studies of Trochocercus, see Pasquet et al. (2002).

Subjects: subject: Literature, Canadian (English).

description: The family is often viewed as the most basic social institution and the one on which broader institutions are founded, and traditionally in Canada heterosexual marriage has resided at the heart of the nuclear family. The increasing prominence of adultery in English-Canadian literature throughout the twentieth century, however, raises questions regarding the nature of marriage and the duties and responsibilities associated with it. The challenges implicit in literary works concerned with adultery can fruitfully be read against changing contemporary social mores as evinced, for example, in amendments to Canadian divorce legislation. Moreover, consideration of points of intersection between material experience and literary representations of marriage and adultery can help to clarify shifts in Canadian moral and cultural values, such as the movement toward a more conservative view of adultery in the closing decades of the twentieth century.

 HOLOTYPE: AMNH 649844, adult male, collected at Sharaikisha, Taiwan (5 Formosa), on 5 April 1907, by Alan Owston’s Japanese collectors. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Stresemann said that his type was a male bearing the above data and in the Rothschild Collection. AMNH 649844 is the only such male that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. As is often the case, this specimen bears an Owston label in Japanese and a second one in English. The Japanese label bears the ‘‘O.C. no. 78’’, which has been marked out, and the number ‘‘40’’ is stamped on the label; the English bears ‘‘O.C. no. 40’’. In this case, the numbers are not unique to a particular specimen, as all of Owston’s 1907 specimens are marked in this way. The meaning of the ‘‘O.C. no.’’ is not clear; it may be a species number given by Owston, or it may refer to a particular collector. On Owston labels in general, numbers may not always have the same meaning.
 Stresemann gave measurements for 29 male and 11 female specimens of his new taxon. Sixteen male specimens, marked with asterisks, were in BMNH and 13 males and 11 females, including the type, were in the Rothschild Collection. I have considered as paratypes 10 specimens that are sexed as males and are in adult male plumage and 10 specimens that are sexed as females and are in female plumage: males: AMNH 649845– 649850, 649858, 649861, 649862, and 649866; females: AMNH 649851–649857, 649860, 649864, and 649865. Collecting localities include Sharaikisha, Kodensho, Taipeh, Tamsui, Tapposha, Takin, Bangkim Tsing, and ‘‘ southwestern Formosa’ ’. Four other specimens that were unsexed or in plumage that did not agree with the sex on the label were collected long before the description of oberholseri and would have been available to Stresemann. I have also considered them paratypes: AMNH 649859, 649863, 649867 and 649868 from Taipeh, Fungshan near Takau, and Patsuma.

Lipid mobilization and the role of lipoproteins during swimming in salmonids
Creators: name: Magnoni, Leonardo J
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Biology, General.

description: Lipids circulate as non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) or as triacylglycerol (TAG) associated with phospholipids (PL), the two main components of lipoproteins. By analogy to mammals, previous studies have focused on NEFA, but lipoproteins have not been considered as an energy shuttle to working muscles. The main goal of this thesis was to study the effects of exercise on fish lipoprotein metabolism. Additional objectives of this thesis were to clarify the mechanisms of action of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) on circulating lipids and to study how lipolytic rate may be regulated in vivo by catecholamines in fish. Circulating NEFA, TAG and PL were measured in sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) at different stages of their spawning migration (Chapter 2). NEFA represent less than 7% of total plasma fatty acids and only show a minor decrease during migration. In contrast, lipoproteins account for more than 93% of all the energy of circulating lipids, and their main constituents show a 27-fold decrease (TAG) and a 6-fold decrease (PL) in concentration. These results are consistent with the idea that lipoproteins may be used to cover the metabolic demands of exercise. In Chapter 3, I investigated the effects of endurance swimming on the lipoprotein metabolism of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) under controlled laboratory conditions. Red muscle LPL activity increased from 18 +/- 5 (rest) to 49 +/- 9 nmol FA min-1 g-1 (swimming for 4 days at 1.5 body lengths/s). In Chapter 4, I measured TAG turnover rate for the first time in a non-mammalian vertebrate. Results show that the baseline TAG turnover rate of trout ranges from 24 to 49 mumol TAG kg-1 min -1 and is not affected by prolonged exercise (6 h at 1.5 body length/s), exceeding all values measured to date in endotherms. Finally, I measured lipolytic rate in intact rainbow trout at rest, and show contrasting effects of norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (Epi) administration on lipolysis (Chapter 5). Results show that trout maintain particularly high baseline lipolytic rate, because only 13% of their lipolytic rate can fuel resting energy metabolism entirely (87% reesterification). Baseline glycerol turnover rate (4.6 +/- 0.4 mumol kg-1 min-1) is inhibited by NE (-56%), instead of being stimulated as in mammals, whereas Epi has the same activating effect in both groups of vertebrates (+167%). I show that the TAG turnover rate in trout at rest can cover several times the energy requirements of locomotion. Additionally, I demonstrate that trout maintain high lipolytic rates, indicating that fatty acid mobilization and reesterification are particularly active in fish. Both characteristics of lipid metabolism can allow for the rapid cycling of fatty acids, and may be crucial for restructuring membrane phospholipids and, therefore, necessary in all ectotherms for adequate homeoviscous adaptation.

description: The objective of this prospective, randomized field trial was to determine if a Serpens spp bacterin had a therapeutic effect on cows with active lesions of papillomatous digital dermatitis (PDD) before or in combination with treatment with topical lincomycin HCl on a California dairy. Fifty-nine lactating cows with active, painful PDD were randomly assigned to control (not vaccinated) and vaccinated groups. Lesions of the rear feet were evaluated for pain response, color, size, and lesion scores at each of the examinations. Cows in the vaccinated group were vaccinated 3 times with a Serpens spp bacterin (days 1, 14, 43). All cows were restrained on a hydraulic tilt table at approximately day 30 and, after examination, all lesions were treated with a slurry containing 3.2 g of lincomycin mixed with 3 ml of deionized water. The slurry was applied to cotton gauze and held in place with an elastic bandage. Bandages were allowed to wear off. Lesions were re-examined while cows were locked in stanchions at approximately days 50 and 70 and while restrained on the hydraulic tilt table on approximately day 110. Lesions improved on all cows during the course of the trial. Lesion and size scores were improved for control and vaccinated cows on days 50, 70, and 110. Pain response and color scores improved on days 50 and 70 but showed evidence of recurrence or recrudescence by day 110. There were no significant differences in evaluated scores between control and vaccinated cows at any of the examination times. When affected cows were re-examined at day 110, recurrence or recrudescence of lesions was evident in 41% of the control cows and 45% of the vaccinated cows. Vaccination of PDD affected cows with Serpens spp bacterin had no apparent effect on clinical outcome.

description: Background: T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM3) is a TH1-specific type 1 membrane protein that regulates TH1 proliferation and the development of immunological tolerance. TIM3 and its genetic variants have been suggested to play a role in regulating allergic diseases. Polymorphisms in the TIM3 promoter region have been reported to be associated with allergic phenotypes in several populations. The aims of this study were to examine whether genetic variation in the promoter region of TIM3 influenced transcription of the gene and risk for allergic phenotypes. Methods: We performed 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. We screened for polymorphisms in the promoter region. Deletion analysis was used to localize the promoter region of TIM3. Genotyping was performed by TaqMan assays in three asthma/allergy population samples. Results: We found two regions with promoter activity in TIM3. One region was from -214 bp to +58 bp and the other from -1.6 kb to -914 bp relative to the transcription start site. None of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or haplotypes affected the transcriptional activity in reporter gene assays. No association between the SNPs and any phenotype was observed in the study cohorts. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that SNPs and haplotypes in the TIM3 promoter region do not have a functional effect in vitro and are not associated with allergic diseases. These data suggest that polymorphisms in the TIM3 promoter region are unlikely to play an important role in susceptibility to allergic diseases.

L'utilisation de la méthode de déconvolution pour les spectres de la RMN du 29Si MAS de la montmorillonite et l'hectorite a pour but d'identifier les différents environnements du silicium en fonction de la concentration de l'acide utilisé. Le greffage covalent des molécules organosilane (3-Chloropropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-Mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane et N-[3-(trimethoxysilane) propyl] éthylènediamine) sur les groupements silanols de la région interlamellaire de la forme protonée des phyllosilicates menant à la formation de nouveaux matériaux, a été réalisé. Le 1, 8-octanediol a été condensé sur les groupements silanols de la magadiite. Les ions sodiums ont d'abord été échangés par des ions dodecyltrimethylammonium avant de procéder au greffage covalent du diol sur les sites hydroxyles de l'entrecouche. Les différents matériaux obtenus ont été caractérisés par diffraction des rayons X (DRX), par spectroscopie infrarouge (IR), par analyse themogravimétrique (ATG) et par résonance magnétique nucléaire (RMN 29Si et RMN 13C).

Incorporating characteristics of human creativity into an evolutionary art algorithm
Creators: name: Gabora, Liane
Publisher: name: Springer Verlag
Year: 2018

description: A perceived limitation of evolutionary art and design algorithms is that they rely on human intervention; the artist selects the most aesthetically pleasing variants of one generation to produce the next. This paper discusses how computer generated art and design can become more creatively human-like with respect to both process and outcome. As an example of a step in this direction, we present an algorithm that overcomes the above limitation by employing an automatic fitness function. The goal is to evolve abstract portraits of Darwin, using our 2nd generation fitness function which rewards genomes that not just produce a likeness of Darwin but exhibit certain strategies characteristic of human artists. We note that in human creativity, change is less choosing amongst randomly generated variants and more capitalizing on the associative structure of a conceptual network to hone in on a vision. We discuss how to achieve this fluidity algorithmically.
The effects of a rigid shoe midsole on plantar fasciitis in runners

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Recreation.

description: Plantar fasciitis is a common overuse injury in runners accounting for almost 10% of all injuries. (45) An excessively flexible shoe midsole or shank may be at fault for the development of plantar fasciitis in runners because of the unnecessary stretching of the plantar fascia ligament. (9;12;48) The main purpose of the study was to assess whether a change in shoe midsole flexibility would influence gait behavior and/or accelerate recovery time from plantar fasciitis. Method. Eighteen male and female (M= 10: F= 8) subjects participated for 3-months performing their normal exercise activities and either wearing shoes prescribed by the study (> 27 N/mm in stiffness) or remained in their current shoes. Mean age, mass, height and years running for the experimental group were 41.9 yrs, 147.3 lbs, 167.1 cm and 13.7 yrs and the control group were 45.3 yrs, 199.7 lbs, 180 cm and 15.3 yrs, respectively. Participants attended 3-separate sessions (initial, 45 & 90 days post initial visit). Pre and post kinematic parameters were collected for rear foot, ankle, knee and hip angles (degrees) while running at a speed of 3.0m/s. Shoe shank-midsole motion (mm) was also evaluated to determine dynamic flexibility of the shoe. Results. Significant differences were found between groups for range of motion (ROM) of the rear foot angle and mid shoe shank compression motion as well as pain level (p<0.05). The experimental group increased rear foot ROM, slightly decreased mid shoe shank ROM motion and decreased pain level. The control group decreased rear foot angle, decreased mid shoe shank ROM and maintained pain level. No significant differences were found for ankle, knee and hip angles. Conclusion. A stiffer shoe could potentially dissipate or transfer forces exerted on the foot away from the plantar fascia to alleviate strain during stance phase of running. Significant relief from the symptoms of plantar fasciitis can be attained with the use of a stiffer shoe. No generalizations can be drawn for ankle, knee and hip ROM because too many adaptations patterns exist among runners.

Creators: name: Charbonneau, Valerie
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: In the first section are described our attempts at synthesizing a novel two centre phase-transfer catalyst. The various synthetic routes we undertook are illustrated as well as the problems that arose in each.* The second section summarizes our efforts towards demonstrating the existence of C-H hydrogen bonds in phase-transfer catalysts dissolved in organic solvents. These bonds had been shown to exist in the solid phase but no data regarding their presence under conditions resembling those encountered in phase-transfer catalyzed reactions had yet been gathered. In the third section, we attempted to study the potential effects of C-H hydrogen bonding in the phase-transfer catalyzed allylbenzene isomerization reaction. We compared the rate of reaction using both hydrogenated and deuterated phase-transfer catalysts.* *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams.

description: Nowadays no one can deny the importance of human resources as the most valuable asset of any organization and its role on the organizations' efficiency. The purpose of this research is to assess factors affecting employee's motivation based on Herzberg hygiene factors in Habesha brewery Share Company. In this study the researcher used descriptive research design a mixed research approach, pragmatism world view and sequential mixed method of inquiry. For the purpose of data collection both p rim a ry and secondary data collection instruments are used to collect data. To collect the data for this study, the target population of the study is the Habesha Brewery Share Company permanent employees. To analyse the quantitative data descriptive stastics and inferential stastics were used by using spss software version 25 and to analyse a qualitative data a narrative technique was applied. According to the study, it was found all hygiene factors (salary, work env't, supervision, job security, peer relationship, company policy and personal life) are positively influence on the motivation of Habesha brewery share company employee's motivation. From this hygiene factors supervision and personal life are the most dominant hygiene factors that influence on the motivation of employees positively and based on the qualitative data analysis it was found that company doesn't take actions before because they didn't face a challenge of low level of employee motivation before because of the absence of hygiene factors and the organization doesn't have written measures to cope up the problems if employees are not satisfied with the existing motivational mechanisms of the company. The study finally recommends for the company to have a written measures for solving the problems before deep rooted that caused by low level of motivation of employees because of the dissatisfaction with the existing motivational mechanisms.
Increasing use of newer antipsychotics in children : A cause for concern?
Creators: name: Therapeutics Initiative (University Of British Columbia)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Therapeutics Letter 74 examines the increasing use of antipsychotics in children. The use of antipsychotics in children and adolescents remains controversial. Understanding the effects of early and possibly long-term exposure to antipsychotics in children is vital given their potential effects on brain and social development. No controlled trial evidence supports the use of any antipsychotics for behavioural conditions such as ADHD. Based on a far larger albeit poor quality body of evidence in adults, previous Therapeutics Letters about olanzapine and quetiapine concluded more evidence on long-term effectiveness and safety of new antipsychotics was needed. In children, early development of obesity or type 2 diabetes may be irreversible. Physicians and parents should be especially cautious and concerned when considering using these drugs in children.

description: The best solution to the problem of financial inclusion that exists in the OIC countries can be found in the correct design and implementation of CBDC. A CBDC is more than simply a software program. it is a complex digital structure with the ability to have both positive and negative economic effects. OIC countries will need extensive knowledge and a thorough understanding of the design difficulties that this fundamentally new kind of currency in this situation raises in order to establish a safe, effective, and accessible CBDC.In order to complete years of preliminary research and then pilot initiatives, OIC finance sector regulators will need to redirect limited resources from other immediate issues. As Nigeria has already pilot launched e-Naira in 2021 and countries like UAE, Lebanon, Palestine and Iran are exploring issuing retail CBDC. The OIC council, Islamic Development Bank (IDB) Group and Arab Monetary Fund should coordinate with the central banks of the member countries in creating a road map design to launch CBDC based on the financial inclusion key indicator, technical expertise and the required digital infrastructure the member country poses. The CBDC issuance can be done in three phases. In first phase, those countries should issue CBDC which has completed the necessary research and expertise and developed all the required digital infrastructure. The second phase should be the countries that are already in research and development of CBDC and have the necessary digital infrastructure. The third phase is for the least developed country that have started research and expertise in CBDC and laying down the required digital infrastructure. The central banks should design the CBDC keeping the future opportunities and challenges from the very beginning of the design. It is concluded that it is now necessary to start setting the framework for this potentially revolutionary breakthrough by developing specialized knowledge and skills among the central banks of the region.

 Terpsiphone rufiventer somereni Chapin, 1948: 114 (Budongo Forest, Uganda).
 Now Terpsiphone rufiventer somereni Chapin, 1948. See Urban et al., 1997: 543.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 652518, adult male, collected at Budongo, ca. 01.47N, 31.35E (Polhill, 1988: 21), Uganda, on 14 June 1919, by V.G.L. van Someren. From the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Chapin gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and noted that he had studied 30 specimens, probably including the type but excluding immature and juvenile specimens; he had also borrowed some specimens from van Someren. It proved very difficult to decide which specimens are paratypes, as Chapin did not indicate this on the labels. All specimens of somereni from Budongo and Bugoma are paratypes: Budongo: AMNH 652513–652517 and 652519–652527; Bugoma: AMNH 652528–652533. There are also two paratypes from Budongo at RMCA (Louette et al., 2002: 56). Chapin (1948: 121) presented a chart of the occurrence of hybrids in the Entebbe-Mabira area of Uganda where somereni also occurs. Using this chart and his description, I was able to decide that three additional males, five females, and three immatures were possible paratypes of somereni: Lugalambo: males, AMNH 652534 and 652535, females, AMNH 652536, 652537, and 6452538; Mabira: immature female, AMNH 652540, female, AMNH 652541; Mubango, female, AMNH 652542; Kyetuma, immature male, AMNH 652546; Sezibwa River, male, AMNH 652552, and immature female, AMNH 652553.

description: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of heart failure, hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. Positron emission tomography (PET), a non-invasive imaging modality, can provide information on cellular function and receptor density. Based on previous structure-activity studies, two 11C-labeled analogues of the clinically used AT 1 receptor antagonist candesartan were developed, [11C]-methyl-candesartan and [11C]TH4, and characterized for binding specificity and selectivity. [11C]Methyl-candesartan was further tested to determine the presence of labeled metabolites and potential for small animal PET. [11C]Methyl-candesartan displayed higher specific binding and selectivity to angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) over angiotensin II type 2 (AT2), Mas (Ang(1-7)), beta-adrenergic and alpha 2-adrenergic receptors in kidney regions in ex vivo studies. Selectivity for AT1 over Mas receptors was not observed for [11C]TH4. Renal binding selectivity over AT2 was confirmed in [11C]methyl-candesartan microPET imaging studies. Metabolite analysis of [11 C]methyl-candesartan detected a labeled metabolite in the rat kidney, although the identity has not been determined. The work presented here supports the potential of [11C]methyl-candesartan for in vivo imaging of AT1 receptors.

description: We present various recent updates related to the MSHT20 PDF sets, and particularly to the MSHT20 approximate N3LO (aN3LO) PDFs. These include an investigation of including eitherinclusive jet data or dĳet data, and the detailed treatment of 𝑍 𝑝 𝑇 data, and the impact on the gluon PDF in particular. We also very briefly summarize the determination of the strong coupling via a aN3LO global PDF fit, finding 𝛼 𝑆 (𝑀_𝑍^2 ) = 0.1170 ± 0.016, and of including QED corrections in the aN3LO analysis. Finally we consider the preliminary finding associated with the effect of improved knowledge of the N3LO splitting functions on the aN3LO PDFs. In particular we note a relatively small, but significant impact on the gluon distribution, but a rather more limited impact on the gluon-gluon luminosity unless strong rapidity cuts are imposed. Hence, we conclude that while details of our aN3LO PDFs will change with more precise splitting functions, only relatively minor effects on predictions are likely to result.

 Ephthianura lovensis Ashby, 1911a: 251 (Leigh’s Creek, S.A.).
 Now Ashbyia lovensis (Ashby, 1911). See Mayr, 1986b: 464, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 347.
SYNTYPES: AMNH 577656, adult male, and AMNH 577657, adult female, collected at Leigh Creek, 30.31S, 138.25E (Times Atlas), South Australia, 11 November 1910 and 12 December 1910, respectively, by R.J.B. Love for Edwin Ashby. From the Mathews Collection (nos. 11700 and 11699, respectively) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Ashby stated that he had a male and two females, with data as above. The two AMNH specimens are marked ‘‘Type’’ in Ashby’s hand and bear Mathews and Rothschild type labels in addition to Ashby’s labels. These are the only two specimens that Mathews acquired from Ashby. The other syntype is not in SAMA (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.) or in AMNH and may have perished when Ashby’s home burned (Whittell, 1954: 19).

Publisher: name: BioMed Central

description: Background: Following practice of skilled movements, changes continue to take place in the brain that both strengthen and modify memory for motor learning. These changes represent motor memory consolidation a process whereby new memories are transformed from a fragile to a more permanent, robust and stable state. In the present study, the neural correlates of motor memory consolidation were probed using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the dorsal premotor cortex (PMd). Participants engaged in four days of continuous tracking practice that immediately followed either excitatory 5 HZ, inhibitory 1 HZ or control, sham rTMS. A delayed retention test assessed motor learning of repeated and random sequences of continuous movement; no rTMS was applied at retention. Results: We discovered that 5 HZ excitatory rTMS to PMd stimulated motor memory consolidation as evidenced by off-line learning, whereas only memory stabilization was noted following 1 Hz inhibitory or sham stimulation. Conclusion: Our data support the hypothesis that PMd is important for continuous motor learning, specifically via off-line consolidation of learned motor behaviors.
