description: The fate of isoflavones in rats after oral and intravenous injection (IV) of soy was investigated. A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method to determine isoflavones in rat plasma was developed with a short run time of 16 minutes. Serum samples from a multigeneration reproductive study conducted to examine the effects of diets containing alcohol-washed soy protein supplemented with increasing amounts of Novasoy(TM), in male and female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, were analyzed for isoflavones. Gender and age differences were observed and warranted additional investigations into the effects of gender, source of isoflavones and the role of glycosidation of isoflavones on the biovailability and pharmacokinetics of soy isoflavones. The bioavailability of isoflavones from Novasoy(TM), a mixture of synthetic glucosides, and a mixture of synthetic aglyconees was examined in female and male (3-month-old) SD rats, and male Fisher 344 (20-month-old) rats. For the synthetic aglycone and synthetic glucoside sources, bioavailability was independent of gender. However, for Novasoy(TM), a gender difference was observed for daidzein, with higher plasma concentrations found in male rats. Bioavailability values for daidzein, genistein and glycitein were significantly (p < 0.05) higher (up to sevenfold) from Novasoy(TM) and the synthetic glucosides compared with the synthetic aglyconees. Therefore, the source of isoflavones had significant effects on isoflavone bioavailability. Similar studies using aged (20-month-old) male rats, revealed significantly (p < 0.05) higher bioavailability values for glycitein from Novasoy(TM) (27 +/- 13%) and the synthetic glucosides (21 +/- 10%) compared with the aglycone mixture (8 +/- 3%). Significantly ( p < 0.05) higher values for bioavailability of daidzein were observed in aged rats dosed with Novasoy(TM) an the glucoside form compared with the aglycone mixture. Thus, the source of isoflavones had significant effects on daidzein and glycitein bioavailability in aged male rats. These findings will be of importance in risk-benefit analyses of soy isoflavones by regulatory agencies.

description: In view of the connection between the cumulative CO2 emissions and global warming, as described in the IPCC reports, the key question arises how a globally remaining budget could be realistically distributed among countries. The discussion of this issue can contribute to NDCs that are Paris-compatible in sum. Resource sharing models directly address the allocation of such a remaining global budget. This article will therefore give an overview of the properties of resource sharing models that, in principle, use current emissions and population as a distribution key. With the current emissions, the current reality and with the population climate justice can be mapped. We also identified a possible additional helpful assessment criterion for NDCs: the implicit weighting of population.

description: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric illness, occurring in 15-20% of the population and is characterized by prolonged mood quality impairment. It is a multifactorial disease and both genetic and environmental factors contribute to its etiology. Evidence suggests that impaired serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmission is an important underlying cause of depressive disorder. The 5-HT1A receptor is a powerful regulator of both pre and post-synaptic 5-HT neurotransmission, and becomes compromised in depression. Evidence suggests that alterations in 5-HT1A gene expression observed in depression result from compromised transcriptional regulation of the 5-HT1A receptor gene. As such, genetic variations and factors involved in the transcriptional machinery that drives 5-HT1A receptor expression are expected to playa key role in establishing normal behavioural phenotypes. I initially characterized the regulatory properties of two transcription factors, Deaf-1 and Hes-5, which have previously been shown to bind the 5-HT1A promoter region spanning a 26-bp palindrome sequence that encompasses a C(-1019)G polymorphism. Using reporter assays, I established Deaf-1 as a cell type specific regulator of the 5-HT1A receptor gene. Deaf-1 was shown to act as transcriptional repressor of the 5-HT1A promoter in pre-synaptic raphe nuclei cell lines, while it activated 5-HT1A promoter expression in post-synaptic cells. Hes-5 on the other hand, remained a transcriptional repressor in all cell types. The activity of both transcription factors was impaired in the presence of the C(-1019)G allele. Moreover, Deaf-1 mediated regulation of the 5-HT1A receptor appeared to be HDAC-dependent. Additionally, I utilized mice lacking a functional Deaf-1 protein, to study the in vivo effects of Deaf-1 on 5-HT1A receptor gene expression. Deaf-1 was shown to bind the mouse 5-HT1A promoter sequence and mediate cell-type specific transcriptional repression or enhancement of 5-HT1A receptor gene expression, similar to that observed using in vitro cell lines. As a result, Deaf-1 knockout mice exhibited upregulation of pre-synaptic 5-HT1A receptor gene, which correlated decreased 5-HT neurotransmission. In conclusion, I have identified a unique mechanism of regulating the 5-HT1A gene expression by Deaf-1, both in vitro and in vivo. I established the importance of the C(1019)G polymorphism in regulating 5-HT1A gene and characterized a novel mouse model for studying the effects of Deaf-1 on the serotonin system.

description: Background: Alternative RNA splicing allows cells to produce multiple protein isoforms from one gene. These isoforms may have specialized functions, and may be tissue- or stage-specific. Our aim was to use computational analysis of SAGE and genomic data to predict alternatively spliced transcripts expressed in C. elegans. Results We predicted novel alternatively spliced variants and confirmed five of eighteen candidates selected for experimental validation by RT-PCR tests and DNA sequencing. Conclusion We show that SAGE data can be efficiently used to discover alternative mRNA isoforms, including those with skipped exons or retained introns. Our results also imply that C. elegans may produce a larger number of alternatively spliced transcripts than initially estimated.

description: After the end of martial law on Taiwan in 1987 and political liberalization as one of its consequences, the question of an indigenous "Taiwanese identity" became a major issue in various fields of study. One expression of this search for cultural and political identity is the literary current xiangtu wenxue. During the last few years, this trend has found its way into Taiwan's school books. This essay examines the means by which "Taiwanese identity" is conveyed in literary reading textbooks issued by the political authorities and currently used at middle schools throughout Taiwan. What do the stories in the textbooks tell us about the ideal values that today's pupils should internalize in the eyes of the authorities? Political symbols and the image of the West or Mainland China in the textbooks contribute to the children's identification with their "nation". Additionally, local expressions, an idealized Taiwanese past or even local food are used to instill into the pupils an inner sense of belonging to their home - the island of Taiwan.

description: Substance-using women who exchange sex for money, drugs or shelter as a means of basic subsistence (ie. survival sex) have remained largely at the periphery of HIV and harm reduction policies and services across Canadian cities. This is notwithstanding global evidence of the multiple harms faced by this population, including high rates of violence and poverty, and enhanced vulnerabilities to HIV transmission among women who smoke or inject drugs. In response, a participatory-action research project was developed in partnership with a local sex work agency to examine the HIV-related vulnerabilities, barriers to accessing care, and impact of current prevention and harm reduction strategies among women in survival sex work. This paper provides a brief background of the health and drug-related harms among substance-using women in survival sex work, and outlines the development and methodology of a community-based HIV prevention research project partnership. In doing so, we discuss some of the strengths and challenges of community-based HIV prevention research, as well as some key ethical considerations, in the context of street-level sex work in an urban setting.

description: Background: Chronic conditions could negatively affect the quality of life of older adults. This may be partially due to a relative lack of physical activity. We examined whether physical activity mediates the relationship between different chronic conditions and several health outcomes that are important to the quality of life of older adults. Methods: The data were taken from the Canadian Community Health Survey (cycle 1.1), a cross-section survey completed in 2001. Only respondents who were 65 years or older were included in our study (N = 22,432). The Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3) was used to measure overall quality of life, and to measure selected health outcomes (dexterity, mobility, pain, cognition, and emotional wellbeing) that are considered to be of importance to the quality of life of older adults. Leisure-time physical activity was assessed by determining weekly energy expenditure (Kcal per week) based on the metabolic equivalents of self-reported leisure activities. Linear and logistic regression models were used to determine the mediating effect of leisure-time physical activity while controlling for demographic variables (age and sex), substance use (tobacco use and alcohol consumption), and obesity. Results: Having a chronic condition was associated with a relative decrease in health utility scores and a relative increase in mobility limitations, dexterity problems, pain, emotional problems (i.e., decreased happiness), and cognitive limitations. These negative consequences could be partially attributed to a relative lack of physical activity in older adults with a chronic condition (14% mediation for the HUI3 score). The corresponding degree of mediation was 18% for mobility limitations, 5% for pain, and 13% for emotional wellbeing (statistically significant mediation was not observed for the other health attributes). These values varied with respect to the different chronic conditions examined in our study. Conclusion: Older adults with chronic conditions are less likely to engage in leisure-time physical activities of at least 1,000 Kcal per week, and this association partially accounts for some negative consequences of chronic conditions, including mobility limitations, pain, and emotional problems. These findings provide support for health promotion programs that facilitate or encourage increased leisure-time physical activity in older people with chronic conditions.

description: The experience of navigation in a virtual environment using image-based rendering can be greatly improved by the use of spherical images or 360° panoramas. These images carry more information and can be represented in different convenient formats. This thesis addresses classical vision problems, in those of rectification and pose recovery, applied to cubic panoramas or cubes, one of the possible formats of spherical images. As an introduction to the concept of rectification, we explore a solution to the problem of rectifying triplets for limited field-of-view (FOV) cameras using the fundamental matrix and a homography composition. A solution to cubic panorama rectification is then given as an extension of the latter and based on the essential matrix. Finally, the study of cubic panoramas geometry is completed by a two-stage algorithm to solve the pose recovery problem for a given set of cubes based on error minimization procedures. Results are obtained for different sets of images and different configurations to corroborate the fore mentioned algorithms. In a more practical way, the navigation of a user in sphericalimage-based models of environments can be improved by the results of the presented study.

description: A systematic multi-isotopic and trace element characterization of U.S. Geological Survey reference materials has been carried out at the Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research, University of British Columbia. Values of 176Hf/177Hf are recommended for the following reference materials (mean ±2 SD): G-2: 0.282523 ± 6; G-3: 0.282518 ± 1; GSP-2: 0.281949 ± 8; RGM-1: 0.283017 ± 13; STM-1: 0.283019 ± 12; STM-2: 0.283021 ± 5; BCR-1: 0.282875 ± 8; BCR-2: 0.282870 ± 8; BHVO-1: 0.283106 ± 12; BHVO-2: 0.283105 ± 11; AGV-1: 0.282979 ± 6; and AGV-2: 0.282984 ± 9. Reproducibility is better than 50 ppm for the granitoid compositions and better than 40 ppm for the basaltic/andesitic compositions. For the isotopic analyses acquired early in this project on glass columns, Hf isotopic analyses from several of the reference materials were significantly less reproducible than Nd and Sr isotopic analyses determined from the same sample dissolution. The 176Hf/177Hf ratios for relatively radiogenic compositions (BCR-1, 2; BHVO-1, 2; RGM-1) were shifted systematically toward lower values by 100–150 ppm when a borosilicate primary column was used. Although systematic, the shift for felsic compositions was generally within analytical error, except for GSP-2, which has a very low Hf isotopic ratio, where the shift was to higher 176Hf/177Hf. Trace element and isotopic characterization of the borosilicate glass column, borosilicate frits, and quartz columns reveals extremely variable levels of trace elements. The 176Hf/177Hf ratios for these materials are very unradiogenic (borosilicate glass <0.28220; frit = 0.28193 ± 4). The borosilicate frit material appears to be the most variable in elemental concentration and isotopic composition. The quartz material has very low levels (<ppm) of all trace elements. Low 176Hf/177Hf and high Hf concentrations of the borosilicate glass column (16 ppm) and frit material (22 ppm) indicate that only small amounts of such unradiogenic material could cause significant contamination of small samples. For the basaltic (BCR-1, 2; BHVO-1, 2) and rhyolitic (RGM-1) samples, approximately 3 ng of Hf from the column or frit would be enough to produce the observed 100–150 ppm shift. Accurate, high-precision 176Hf/177Hf data can only be acquired if samples are processed using all PTFE Teflon® labware, or quartz and polypropylene.

description: Cette thèse se penche sur la problématique de l'intégration des jeunes immigrants francophones des pays des Grands Lacs africains (JIFPGLA) dans la vie socioprofessionnelle à Ottawa-Gatineau. L'objectif consiste à explorer l'expérience de ce groupe de jeunes en rapport avec leur intégration dans la société d'accueil. Il s'agit d'examiner comment les éléments du capital humain et social ainsi que d'autres axes discriminatoires s'enchevêtrent pour empêcher ces jeunes immigrants de pénétrer le milieu de l'emploi. Le premier chapitre est consacré à une étude historique, politique et législative de l'immigration canadienne et africaine. Il présente le contexte de l'immigration canadienne entachee par des inégalités qui conduisent à l'exclusion et à la discrimination. Le deuxième chapitre pose la problématique de recherche. Il analyse les caractéristiques de la population immigrante. Il établit le portrait de jeunes immigrants au Canada et celui des immigrants originaires des pays des Grands Lacs africains. Le troisième chapitre concerne le cadre théorique. Il conceptualise les termes qui sous-tendent l'intégration. Il analyse aussi le courant de l'interactionnisme symbolique étudié à travers la pensée de l'École de Chicago. Il s'agit de voir comment les immigrants interagissent et réagissent avec les composantes de la société lorsqu'ils font face aux problèmes d'inégalités liés au capital humain et social ainsi qu'aux dimensions de la construction de frontières ethniques, de l'ethnicité et de l'ethnie. Le quatrième chapitre est consacré à la méthodologie de la recherche. Il propose une méthode qualitative basée sur des entrevues semi-structurées, effectuées auprès d'un échantillon de quinze répondants. Une analyse et une interprétation des données des entrevues, suivies par une brève description de chaque répondant, ont été réalisées. Les chapitres cinq et six comprennent deux volets empiriques du capital humain et social. Le premier répertorié les discriminations et rend compte de leur incidence sur l'intégration. Le deuxième volet met l'emphase sur l'importance des réseaux primaires et secondaires dans le processus d'intégration. La conclusion retrace en amont et en aval les étapes qui ont caractérisé ce travail. Il en résulte qu'au Canada en général et dans la Région d'Ottawa-Gatineau en particulier, la discrimination envers les JIFPGLA existe sous une forme directe ou indirecte. Conséquemment, ces jeunes n'ont pas la même chance d'accès aux emplois comparativement aux jeunes Canadiens de souche1. 1Par Canadien de souche, nous entendons des personnes qui sont installées au Canada depuis de nombreuses générations, à tel point qu'elles ne sont plus considérées comme des immigrants ni des descendants d'immigrants.

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Language, Modern.

description: In this dissertation we investigate whether the term 'near-native speaker' should be used to refer to speakers who, in spite of having been in contact with the Spanish language since childhood, differ from the Spanish standard norm sanctioned by grammarians and linguists with respect to both their grammatical competence and their ability to process this language. In order to carry out this investigation we have used two constructions that evidence unstable areas of the Spanish language: (a) Resumptive Pronouns in ambiguous Restrictive Relative Clauses (Pintaron los techos de unas casitas i que cuando nos fuimos a vivir al camp las i vimos en malas condiciones.); and (b) Optional Dative Clitic Doubling (Sally Potter (les) dedico el premio a los tangueros.) versus Obligatory Dative Clitic Doubling (El nino travieso le rompio el jarron a la abuela. ). Three groups of speakers with Spanish as their mother tongue participated in our study: an SC (Spanish Control) group consisting of speakers who have always lived in a Spanish speaking country; an LC (Late Contact with English) experimental group formed by L1 Spanish / L2 English speakers, and an EC (Early Contact with English) group which consisted of so-called heritage speakers. Our aim was to revise the term near-native so that it is not only the experimental groups' global grammatical competence that determines their being near-native versus native speakers, but also these experimental groups' local grammatical competence in relation to their acceptance and processing of Resumptive Pronouns and Dative Clitic Doubling constructions. We carried out three off-line and two on-line experimental tasks (Acceptability Judgments, Magnitude Estimation and Sentence Matching) intended to evaluate the grammatical and processing abilities of the three groups of speakers, who represented two varieties of Spanish: the Peninsular variety and the Rioplatense variety. The results show that the experimental groups' (LC, EC) global grammatical competence differs significantly from that of the Control group (SC). However, in relation to the acceptability and processing of the Resumptive Pronouns and Dative Clitic Doubling constructions, the experimental groups differ from the Control group only with respect to certain aspects of these constructions while they evidence native competence in relation to other aspects. This leads us to propose that the term 'near-native' cannot be applied across the board.

description: While most large-scale assessments are designed for one intended use, in many instances, a single administration of an assessment is used for one or more uses in addition to the intended use. I suggest the term multiple-use to refer to this practice. The purpose of this dissertation is to consider the implications of the multiple-use of large-scale assessments for the process of validation. I begin by discussing multiple-use from a theoretical perspective, identifying the challenges this practice creates for the process of validation. I maintain that multiple-use increases the stakes associated with an assessment and argue that where multiple-use is known to occur, the separate validation of each use may not be adequate since interactions between multiple-uses may take place. To build on this theoretical discussion, I report on an in-depth case study of one instance of multiple-use. Using questionnaire data, document analysis, school-level case studies and interviews with test development personnel, I describe the multiple-use of the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics which is administered in Ontario, Canada. I identify the pattern of uses for this assessment and focus on two multiple-uses: the use of the assessment for accountability and the use of the assessment by teachers as part of students' grades. Evidence of interactions between the two uses is provided and the limitations of applying Kane's (2006) argument-based model of validation given these interactions are discussed. I demonstrate how the concepts of boundary objects and boundary encounters, situated within sociocultural theory, contribute to the process of validation for this assessment and may be beneficial for the validation of other instances of multiple-use. A number of ways of rethinking the process of validation to better address the multiple-use of large-scale assessments are suggested and areas for further research are identified.

An implementation of hierarchical inter-domain routing in the context of UCLPv2
Creators: name: Wang, Qi
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: As customer-owned and managed optical networks gain more popularity with large enterprises and institutions, the need to enable end-users to dynamically provision and configure network resources inspires the development of the second version of User Controlled Lightpath Provisioning System (UCLPv2). The UCLPv2 software is based on a service-oriented architecture in which network resources are exposed as and managed through Web services. However, the current system lacks the capability to automatically establish an end-to-end connection given a pair of source and destination switches. The thesis describes the new intra-domain and inter-domain routing functionalities as an enhancement to the UCLPv2. Furthermore, it focuses on the design and implementation of the inter-domain routing, which is based on the hierarchical management architecture for networks with condo-switches. The routing algorithm is implemented through the adaptation of Dijkstar's algorithm to a hypergraph.

Subjects: open science

description: I think we have all been subject to other people’s data - the frustration and the disappointment that follows when we determine that the data is unusable. The Frictionless Data initiative at Open Knowledge Foundation aims to reduce friction in working with data, with a goal to make it effortless to transport data among different tools and platforms for further analysis, and with an emphasis on reproducible research and open data. As inaugural Reproducible Research Fellows of the program, we will demonstrate how we have applied the principles and tools of Frictionless Data to our own research data on the octopus trade and open access bibliometric data to make our data more reusable by others. This talk is aimed at all data wranglers, and along the way we will talk about our experience in the fellowship, what were some difficulties, and about our triumphs.

On The Processing of Log Files for Monitoring Antenna Health

description: In order to improve the quality of geodetic results, we have developed an infrastructure for timely processing of telemetry from IVS observing stations. The slides herein describe that process, and the results of the data analysis. We check every hour for new log files with telemetry from both VLBI observing sessions, single dish experiments, and stow-in data collection and automatically process them. The telemetry data we use is the system temperature, phase calibration phases and amplitudes, system equivalent flux density, and the differences between formatter clock and GPS clock. For the system temperature and phase calibration, processing includes filtering out outliers and computing averages and rms of the scatter in each scan. Furthermore, for the phase calibration we also compute the group delay and detect spurious signals. Cleaned and post-processed telemetry is archived. Our process detects abnormalities, such as, anomalously high system temperature, unstable phase calibration phases, jumps in the GPS and formatter clock differences, and others. With our procedure, the latency of detection of station abnormalities is reduced to less than two hours. Early detection of abnormalities reduces the amount of affected data since station personnel get early alerts. We discuss our experience of running this system since 2022.
Marine scientific research governance in the Arctic Ocean
Creators: name: Anand, Arvind
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Political Science, International Law and Relations.

description: The legal regime that has come to regulate the conduct of marine scientific research activities has evolved over time, from Admirality law to the Law of the Sea, environmental law, the laws relating to intellectual property rights over data, samples and results, and international trade laws dealing with the import, export and use of genetically modified macro and micro-organisms, compilation of data and trade secrets. Arctic Ocean remains unique and vulnerable. The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA, 2005) has documented substantial observational evidence that the sea ice cover is undergoing profound changes including: a steady decrease in extent with larger areas of open water during summer; decreasing coverage of multi-year sea ice in the Central Arctic Ocean; and, thinning of sea ice throughout the Arctic Ocean. These changes have implications for a host of marine uses such as shipping, offshore development, fishing indigenous hunting, tourism, including marine scientific research. Marine scientific research cooperation in the Arctic Ocean is vital for our understanding of basic natural mechanisms. The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III) has created a consent regime for coastal states to manage, control, and promote marine scientific research in offshore areas within their national jurisdiction. Arctic states, as a party to the UNCLOS III (except USA), have promulgated laws and regulations on foreign-related marine scientific research conducted within their jurisdictional waters. This work focuses on the legal regime for marine scientific research in general and will explore the present legal governance of Arctic Ocean marine scientific research under the UNCLOS III in particular.
