description: Background. Signaling pathways linking receptor activation to actin reorganization and pseudopod dynamics during chemotaxis are arranged in complex networks. Dictyostelium discoideum has proven to be an excellent model system for studying these networks and a body of evidence has indicated that RasG and RasC, members of the Ras GTPase subfamily function as key chemotaxis regulators. However, recent evidence has been presented indicating that Ras signaling is not important for Dictyostelium chemotaxis. In this study, we have reexamined the role of Ras proteins in folate chemotaxis and then, having re-established the importance of Ras for this process, identified the parts of the RasG protein molecule that are involved. Results A direct comparison of folate chemotaxis methodologies revealed that rasG-C- cells grown in association with a bacterial food source were capable of positive chemotaxis, only when their initial position was comparatively close to the folate source. In contrast, cells grown in axenic medium orientate randomly regardless of their distance to the micropipette. Folate chemotaxis is restored in rasG-C- cells by exogenous expression of protein chimeras containing either N- or C- terminal halves of the RasG protein. Conclusions Conflicting data regarding the importance of Ras to Dictyostelium chemotaxis were the result of differing experimental methodologies. Both axenic and bacterially grown cells require RasG for optimal folate chemotaxis, particularly in weak gradients. In strong gradients, the requirement for RasG is relaxed, but only in bacterially grown cells. Both N- and C- terminal portions of the RasG protein are important for folate chemotaxis, suggesting that there are functionally important amino acids outside the well established switch I and switch II interaction surfaces.
The role of bone morphogenetic protein signaling in zebrafish caudal fin regeneration

description: Zebrafish possess the remarkable ability to regenerate many organs and tissues following damage, including their fins. Understanding the mechanisms behind regeneration in these organisms may be the key to promoting regeneration of tissues in humans. Using the zebrafish caudal fin as a model we examined the role of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) and Bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) signaling pathways in fin regeneration. The expression patterns of shh, its receptor ptc1, and downstream target bmp2b within the fin regenerate revealed their potential roles in bone regeneration. To test their involvement we performed a functional analysis by ectopically expressing and inhibiting Shh and Bmp2b signaling within the regenerate. Ectopic expression of shh and bmp2b within the blastema, using an in vivo transfection method, resulted in ectopic bone formation. This effect was blocked when we co-injected shh and chordin, a Bmp antagonist, indicating that Shh signaling requires a Bmp factor to induce ectopic bone formation. These findings link Shh and Bmp signaling to scleroblast proliferation, differentiation and/or function during fin regeneration. Two Bmp family members are expressed within the regenerate in a pattern suggesting their role in bone regeneration: bmp2b, and the newly characterized bmp6. On the other hand, bmp4 expression, in cells of the distal blastema suggests its possible function in growth of the regenerate. To establish a direct role for Bmp signaling, we inhibited signaling by injecting chordin into the blastema of individual fin rays, resulting in reduced matrix secretion attributed to a defect in scleroblast function. We identified Bmp targets with known function in bone formation, runx2a/b and col10a1, which are both expressed in scleroblast cells and downregulated following Bmp inhibition and are likely mediating the function of Bmp signaling in scleroblast differentiation/function. Interestingly, within the regenerate we detected the expression of 'cartilage-specific' genes involved in endochondral bone formation although fin rays form through dermal ossification, and many of these factors are regulated by Bmp signaling. These findings suggest that fin rays may be made of an intermediate type of bone or that intramembranous and endochondral bones are more closely related than previously thought. Also, inhibition of Shh and Bmp signaling pathways, using cyclopamine and chordin misexpression respectively, led to a decrease in blastema proliferation, and a downregulation of the msxb and msxc transcription factors. Overall our studies indicate a critical role for the Shh and Bmp signaling pathways in fin regeneration, mediating both scleroblast differentiation/function and blastemal proliferation and growth.

Critiquing the Most Congenial of Lives: The Rise of the Canadian Academic Novel
Creators: name: Bajwa, Poonam
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Literature, Canadian (English).

description: Focusing on a selection of pioneering works, which include Margaret Atwood's The Edible Woman (1969), Robert Kroetsch's Gone Indian (1973), Robertson Davies's The Rebel Angels (1981), and Carol Shields's Swann (1987), this dissertation traces the uncharted emergence and development of the Canadian academic novel and argues that it should be recognized alongside its already well-documented American and British counterparts as constituting a significant contribution to the sub-genre. The novels under consideration, published between 1969 and 1987, directly respond to the contemporaneous growth and expansion of the Canadian university as well as, in light of this expansion, its resultant growing pains: in this saturated academic climate, producing unique scholarship that would both secure the individual's professional status as well as contribute to the broader public in a discernable fashion became increasingly difficult. In response, these novelists, whose works are set primarily in English departments, target the scholar's tendency to prioritize professional self-interest above scholarly idealism rather than strike a productive balance between the two. Entering into an ongoing dialogue about the value of humanities (particularly literary) scholarship, they ultimately suggest that when alternative models of scholarly inquiry are adopted in place of standard paradigms and the disinterested pursuit of knowledge remains the foundational guiding principle, the resulting research has the potential to offer invaluable insights with broader cultural and social resonances.
Haloarchaeal comparative genomics and the local context model of genomic evolution.
Creators: name: St. Jean, Andrew Louis.

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Genomics is a rapidly expanding field of research that seeks to study the structure, function and evolution of an organism's genome. Genomic investigations were conducted on three species of haloarchaea, a monophyletic group of prokaryotes belonging to the kingdom Euryarchaeota of the domain Archaea that are adapted to high-salt environments. A physical and genetic map of the genome of Halobacterium salinarum GRB is described. This map and the previously published map of the genome of Haloferax volcanii DS2 were compared with the object of detecting any conservation in the order or spacing of homologous loci between the two genomes. A computer program--COMPAGEN--was developed to aid in the analysis of the data generated by this comparison. No map order conservation could be detected at the 15 kbp average resolution of this comparison between genomes estimated to have diverged 600 million years ago. A second comparison was performed between the chromosomes of Haloferax volcanii DS2 and Haloferax mediterranei ATCC 33500 (R-4). Extensive conservation was found between these two genomes which diverged approximately 80 million years ago showing only three rearrangements: two inversions and a transposition. Conclusions drawn from an analysis of the comparisons include: (1) that higher resolution is required to deal with distantly related genomes, likely making use of sequence data, and (2) that it is important to compare genomes that have diverged at different times if one wishes to investigate the dynamics of genomic evolution within a phylogenetic group. The local context model was developed in an effort to explain the pattern of conservation and divergence seen in these and other prokaryotic genome comparisons. This model states that since the expression of genes is affected by flanking genetic elements, genes will resist changing their position relative to one another so long as this change is likely to alter gene expression in a way deleterious to the cell. The local context model thus provides a force promoting the conservation of genomic map order. The implications of this model for the evolution of the haloarchaea is discussed and future directions of prokaryotic genomics in general is explored.

description: Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate whether 14-3-3η, a specific isoform of a family of proteins regulating processes such as cellular signalling, activates cell-signalling pathways and induces factors known to contribute to the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We also investigated whether 14-3-3η is associated with more severe disease in both early and established RA. Methods We investigated the effect of 14-3-3η on the activation of RA-relevant signalling cascades and induction of proinflammatory mediators that contribute to the joint damage process. 14-3-3η titres from 33 patients with early RA (mean RA duration = 1.8 months) and from 40 patients with established RA were measured in serum drawn at the 3-year time point of the Behandel Strategieën study. The relationship between 14-3-3η titres and standard clinical variables was investigated by correlation analysis. The association with radiographic damage and radiographic progression over at least a 2-year period was investigated using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. Results 14-3-3η activated selected members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, mainly extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 and c-Jun kinase, but not p38MAPK. Activation by 14-3-3η, using levels spanning the concentration range found in RA patient serum, resulted in the induction of inflammatory transcripts such as interleukin 1 (IL-1) and IL-6 and factors linked to the joint damage process, such as receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand and matrix metalloproteinase 1. Serum 14-3-3η correlated significantly with rheumatoid factor (RF) (r = 0.43) and anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) (r = 0.31) in the early RA cohort, but not with C-reactive protein (CRP) or the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints in either cohort. Serum 14-3-3η concentrations were significantly higher in patients with radiographically assessed joint damage and in those who had radiographic progression. By multivariate analysis, we show that 14-3-3η complemented markers such as CRP, RF and ACPA in informing RA radiographic status and/or progression. Conclusions Extracellular 14-3-3η activates key signalling cascades and induces factors associated with the pathogenesis of RA at concentrations found in patients with RA, and its expression is higher in patients with radiographic damage and RA progression.
Radiative properties of molybdenum sulfide and other transition metal dichalcogenides

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Physics, Radiation.

description: Low temperature radiative properties of the layered transition metal dichalcogenides 2H-MoS2, 2H-WS2 and 2H-WSe 2 are investigated. Synthetically grown crystals of all three materials, natural 2H-MoS2 single crystals and several 2H-MoS2 and 2H-WS2 commercial powders are studied. Steady-state photoluminescence (PL) measurements performed on the samples reveal two distinct radiative regions in the near infrared. The first region consisting of several sharp lines is produced by bound excitons related to the halogen transport agent intercalated within the van der Waals gap of the layered compounds. The second weaker region, composed of a broad spectral band, originates from the radiative recombination between an intrinsic crystal lattice defect center and the valence band in the conditions of a strong electron-phonon coupling. Time decay analysis of the bound excitonic radiative transitions is performed with time-resolved and PL intensity ratio measurements. The spectral and temperature dependence of the total radiative emissions of all three compounds are described in the framework of a two-channel kinetic recombination model in thermal equilibrium conditions. A configuration coordinate diagram is also constructed for 2H-MoS 2. PL intensity measurements performed on the 2H-MoS2 and 2H-WS2 synthetic crystals reveal a sublinear PL dependence on excitation intensity. Finally a technique developed to intercalate halogen molecules in natural 2H-MoS2 single crystals is described.

description: We assert the existence and ubiquity of the energy form complementary to the energy given by the function of states of interacting systems, substantiate its principles and criteria. This form is critical to stability but not covered by the thermodynamics and entropy laws and the trends of Brownian motion and phase transitions based on detailed balance. It is of vortex nature related to relaxation, and gives rise to all quantum realm with its super currents and stability against state collapse. We elucidate hardened beliefs detrimental to search for new states of matter and energy.
Drawing algorithms for survivable telecommunication networks.

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Visualizing survivable telecommunication networks on the screen has proven to be useful and helpful for the network designers. In fact, they can easily identify rings, perceive the interaction between rings, and then rapidly spot possible problems. Given a ring cover of survivable telecommunication networks, we provide three techniques for drawing a ring cover: the inside drawing, the outside drawing and the mixed drawing. In chapter 1, we will introduce the problem and present some basic definitions related to our subject. In chapter 2, we will present the inside drawing algorithm which consists of drawing each ring inside another one. In chapter 3, we will deal with the outside drawing algorithm in which rings are drawn outside others. In chapter 4, we will describe the mixed drawing algorithm which consists of drawing rings outside or inside each other. Finally, a conclusion and open problems for future work will be presented in chapter 5. We should mention that all these drawings should respect many criteria in order to preserve the readability of the drawing. These criteria are as follows: Rings must be easily identifiable within the picture, no crossing is acceptable and the resolution rule should be respected. As in most of the graph drawing algorithms, the area used for the drawing is very important. Our proposed algorithms produce drawings that require $O(n\sp2)$ area, where n is the number of nodes in the ring cover.
Working After Covid-19: Cross-Country Evidence from Real-Time Survey Data

Year: 2020

description: This paper uses real time survey data from two waves launched at the end of March and in mid-April to provide a snapshot of the labor market outcomes in twelve countries, after that many restraining measures had been implemented. The main aim is to analyze the short-term effects on the labor market of the different social distancing measures adopted in these countries. Survey data from the project REPEAT (REpresentations, PErceptions and ATtitudes on the COVID-19) allows a comparison of these labor market responses, which may differ across countries, since countries were at different stages of the diffusion of the coronavirus and thus featured different public health measures at the time of the survey. In most countries, the first wave of the survey was launched from few days (Austria, UK) to three weeks (Italy) after the (regional, in the case of the US) lockdown – with the exception of Germany, where the lockdown was implemented immediately after.
Studies of the requirements for the introduction of synthetic genes into reovirus.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: The purpose of this study was to introduce a synthetic reoviral gene into the reovirus particle. The gene was introduced in the form of (+) sense ssRNA transcripts. Reovirus type I infected cells were transfected with a synthetic deleted version of the T3 M1 gene of reovirus. Alternatively virions and cores modified by various chemical and physical treatments were incubated with synthetic (+) sense ssRNA copies of the M1 gene in replication assays. Neither of these methods resulted in successful replication of a synthetic gene or its introduction into reovirus. Studies examining the fate of transcripts showed that synthetic gene or its introduction into reovirus. Synthetic RNA was not recognized by viral proteins or particles when transfected into reovirus infected cells. Efforts were made to select lethal M1 mutants by passage of T1, T3 and G2 reovirus in $\mu$2 protein (product of M1 gene) expressing cells. These mutants could be used later as a selection system for reoviruses which rescued a synthetic M1 gene. In this system only reovirus with the rescued synthetic M1 gene should be able to grow on normal L929 cells. However, lethal M1 mutants were not obtained. Reovirus particles that had been subjected to physical and chemical treatments were analyzed by RNase A digestion and electron microscopy and by transcription assay. Modified core particles maintained or increased transcription activity relative to native cores. The most significant finding was the demonstration of active soluble transcriptase derived from viral cores that, previously, were thought to be the smallest component of the virus exhibiting transcriptase activity. This transcriptase complex is composed of dsRNA and $\lambda$3 protein. The problem of restricted access of exogenous RNA to the transcriptase can be overcome using this form of transcriptase and may be applicable to introduction of a synthetic gene into reovirus.

description: Plus qu'un droit fondamental, l'association constitue pour l'être humain une nécessité, fait constate depuis des siècles par les États démocratiques du monde entier. Bien que les législateurs canadiens et québécois reconnaissent le droit a la liberté d'association dans une multitude de sphères de l'activité humaine, c'est au chapitre des relations de travail que celui-ci suscite le plus de débats. Dans le cadre de la présente thèse de maîtrise, nous proposons donc d'examiner l'impact que peut avoir cette liberté constitutionnelle relativement au droit du travail du personnel cadre oeuvrant au Québec. La Cour suprême a défini à plusieurs occasions, depuis l'adoption de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés, la nature et la portée de la liberté d'association dans le domaine des relations de travail. Malgré une littérature abondante sur le sujet, la situation des membres du personnel d'encadrement, qui sont exclus des dispositions du Code du travail, n'a toujours pas fait, à notre connaissance, l'objet d'une étude spécifique. À la lumière des récents arrêts de la Cour suprême portant sur cette liberté fondamentale, notre étude vise principalement à évaluer quelle signification revêt le droit d'association pour les cadres québécois.

description: Land application of biosolids is a desirable solution for smaller communities that utilize aerobic digestion. However, traditional aerobic digestion produces Class B biosolids at best which raises public concern regarding the fate of pathogens following land application. The main goal of this work was to determine a plan to help an aerobic digestion WWTP achieve improved pathogen destruction. An approach of studying the effect of a pre-treatment step prior to digestion was developed following site visits to eight aerobic digestion facilities in Ontario. The experimental phases of this work evaluated the effect of aeration rate, temperature and retention time on pathogen reduction in 12 setups. The four best conditions were carried out with digestion to evaluate the ultimate impact of pre-treatment on digestion. The results indicated that a micro-aerobic, highly reducing environment produces adverse conditions within the pre-treatment column which also impact subsequent digestion and resulted in decreased pathogens.

description: This study was to evaluate the development level of Clinical Engineering Departments (CEDs) in hospitals in developing countries. The method of data collection was a survey done by structured questionnaire sent by Email and Listserv. In total, 61 responses (9% response rate) were grouped into two regions: Latin America (27 from Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil) and Asia (34 from India, Bangladesh, P.R. China, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa); The responses from those developing countries were compared with those from developed countries acquired in previous studies done by Frize and Glouhova. In this study, results indicate that CEDs that responded to the survey from developing countries have similar organizational structure as developed countries, but there are differences in personnel educational levels, responsibilities, and resources. We also identified differences in the level of development of CEDs in respondents from Asia and those from Latin America. The latter were more advanced overall than those in Asia, but CEDs in both regions need to improve their level of development. Future research should focus on collecting more data from CEDs of developing countries, and expand the quantitative analysis that will be possible with a larger sample.

description: This study's objective was to uncover the role of fathers in constructing the spatial boundaries of their sons' childhoods and providing them access to play spaces, as informed by the fathers' memories of their own childhoods. In order to understand the meanings that fathers attribute to their experiences with boyhood worlds, ten semi-structured interviews were completed with fathers living in Ottawa. The fathers expressed uneasiness with what they perceive to be an increasing level of structure in their sons' play spaces. While most of the fathers attributed this decrease in autonomy to safety concerns for their sons, some fathers noted that organized play is in opposition with their experiential knowledge of boyhood in terms of risk and adventure. The study emphasizes the different ways in which fathers navigate through both societal expectations of good parenting and their understanding of masculinity as they create spatial worlds of boyhood for their sons.

Ce travail de recherche consiste en une etude qualitative qui demontrera de quelle facon l'Eglise catholique du Canada et, plus specifiquement, la Conference des eveques catholiques du Canada (CECC) et l'Assemblee des eveques du Quebec (AEQ), percoivent les tensions socio-politiques au Canada, les sources de celles-ci ainsi que les solutions possibles. En d'autres termes, est-ce que les messages envoyes de la part des cadres institutionnels pan-canadien et quebecois de l'Eglise catholique manifestent une convergence ou une divergence dans l'identification des tensions socio-politiques, de leurs sources et de leurs solutions si l'on tient compte de la fragmentation de l'identite nationale au Canada?

description: This article presents the first comprehensive review and analysis of the uptake of the Canadian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines (CDWQG) across Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. This review is significant given that Canada’s approach to drinking water governance is: (i) highly decentralized and (ii) discretionary. Canada is (along with Australia) only one of two Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member states that does not comply with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation that all countries have national, legally binding drinking water quality standards. Our review identifies key differences in the regulatory approaches to drinking water quality across Canada’s 13 jurisdictions. Only 16 of the 94 CDWQG are consistently applied across all 13 jurisdictions; five jurisdictions use voluntary guidelines, whereas eight use mandatory standards. The analysis explores three questions of central importance for water managers and public health officials: (i) should standards be uniform or variable; (ii) should compliance be voluntary or legally binding; and (iii) should regulation and oversight be harmonized or delegated? We conclude with recommendations for further research, with particular reference to the relevance of our findings given the high degree of variability in drinking water management and oversight capacity between urban and rural areas in Canada.

Algal, invertebrate, and fish production in headwater streams along a forested gradient

description: As urban populations increase globally, the conversion of natural land cover to anthropogenic land use is on the rise. Diffuse perturbations that accompany such land use changes are considered a chief threat to headwater streams, which provide habitat for diverse faunas of macroinvertebrates, fish, and amphibians and are important sources of sediments, nutrients, and organic matter for downstream systems. Although environmental assessments of stream ecosystems generally measure responses to these perturbations as shifts in community structures, functional rather than structural properties may provide a better indicator of land use impacts since measures of ecosystem function can reveal more about the mechanisms that alter running water ecosystems. The primary objective of this thesis was to quantify stream productivity along a gradient of forest cover and assess bottom-up and top-down mechanisms for observed patterns in stream productivity. In the first chapter, I quantified algal, invertebrate, and fish biomass, the single best correlate of productivity, at 38 first-third order streams along a forest cover gradient at 55 spatial scales and determined that subcatchment forest cover was consistently the best predictor of biomass at all trophic levels in terms of the variation explained by forest cover and the unexplained residual variance. When considering the independent effects of forest cover on biomass at three coarse scales, subcatchment forest cover was the only significant predictor of biomass, suggesting that the common practice of maintaining riparian buffers is an ineffective management practice for protecting stream function from catchment-wide impacts. In the second chapter, I developed two time-saving approaches for processing benthic invertebrate samples that reduced laboratory processing time by 37% and 82% and provided production estimates that were strongly related to production estimates obtained from standard processing techniques. These time-saving approaches were used in chapter 3 so that I could measure algal, invertebrate, and fish production at 12 sites along a gradient of subcatchment forest cover, which I determined to be the most influential spatial scale on biomass in chapter 1. Total nitrogen was a significant bottom-up force that explained 34-83% of the variation in stream productivity at all three trophic levels. However, consumer production to consumption ratios indicated that predators and grazers can potentially deplete their food sources, and that top-down forces are therefore also important contributors to observed patterns in productivity and biomass along the forested gradient.
title: The Relation Between Maternal Beliefs and Behavior and the Metabolic Control and Social Development of Children with Diabetes

description: This study examined the relation between maternal control, beliefs, and concerns and the metabolic and social development outcomes of their children with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). It was expected that maternal control (i.e., protectiveness, knowledge and beliefs about. diabetes, and self-efficacy) would be positively related to children's outcomes as measured by their metabolic control, social and behavioral development. Thirty mother/child dyads participated. Children met the following criteria: (a) 4 to 16 years of age, (b) continually insulin-dependent for at least four months, and (c) had no significant cognitive or emotional impairment. To examine the effects of maternal control and fears on child outcome, mothers completed the Parental Assessment of Child Monitoring Scale (PACM; Hetherington & Clingempeel, 1983) and the Protectiveness Scale (Hardy, 1990) . Mothers also completed three diabetes-specific measures assessing maternal beliefs, control, and fears as well as a family background questionnaire. To assess child outcome, four measures were administered. The mothers completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Achenbach & Edelbrock, 1983). Mothers also were administered the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Interview Edition, Survey Form (Sparrow, Balla, S Cicchetti, 19S4). The children with diabetes completed a questionnaire that examined how they felt about their diabetes care. Glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb), a measure of the average blood glucose level for the previous 2-3 months, was taken on each child. A tendency existed for maternal confidence, the mother's belief in her ability to cope with her child with IDDM and the child's low blood sugar, to be negatively correlated with glycosylated hemoglobin. Maternal self-confidence, however, was not related to child behavior. Other correlations revealed that the more protective the mother, the more frequently the child's blood glucose level was monitored. Additionally, children of very protective and/or worried mothers, exhibited more internalizing and externalizing behavior. In conclusion, diabetes is a metabolic condition and not a psychosocial developmental process, thus, it was encouraging to find that children's social development, as measured by the Vineland, was not correlated with glycosylated hemoglobin levels. Maternal self-efficacy appears related to children's health rather than social development of the child.

description: This thesis studies the characterization and simulation of long wavelength indium aluminium gallium arsenide (InAlGaAs) lattice-matched to indium phosphide (InP) diode laser, emitting between 1.648 to 1.7 mum in wavelength. The active region of one laser diode sample consists of six In0.69Ga 0.31As quantum wells (1.0% compressive strain) and seven In0.52 Al0.36Ga0.12As unstrained barriers. The lasers are grown using digital alloy molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The band diagram analysis shows a large conduction band offset which is typical of InAlGaAs lasers. The geometry-dependent and temperature-dependent measurement as well as the laser optical gain, loss and spectral properties were carried out and comparison done for different ridge widths (1.2 to 2.8mum), cavity lengths (555 to 2200mum) and temperature range between 25 and 70°C. The output power as a function of current characteristics reveals threshold current increase with cavity lengths and ridge widths with thermal roll-off occurring at higher injection currents. The slope efficiency and external differential quantum efficiency increases for the narrowest and widest ridge widths within the same cavity length laser device but decreases with increase in cavity length. The temperature analysis shows longer cavity length lasers exhibit better temperature characteristic than the shorter cavity length laser devices indicating the better thermal stability of the longer cavity lasers. Temperature elevations also caused increase in threshold current and decrease in efficiencies. The temperature distribution shows a higher temperature in the active region than the operating temperature due to self heating of the laser devices in continuous wave operation. The optical spectrum exhibits red-shifting of the emission wavelength with increasing bias current and temperature.
