Peripatetic

description: This dissertation examines urban walking in Canada as it deviates from a largely male peripatetic tradition associated with the flâneur. This new incarnation of the walker—differentiated by gender, race, class, and/or sexual orientation—reshapes the urban imaginary and shifts the act of walking from what is generally theorized as an individualistic or simply transgressive act to a relational and transformative practice. While the walkers in this study are diverse, the majority of them are women: writers Dionne Brand, Daphne Marlatt, Régine Robin, Gail Scott, and Lisa Robertson and performance artists Kinga Araya, Stephanie Marshall, and Camille Turner all challenge the dualism inscribed by the dominant (masculine) gaze under the project of modernity that abstracts and objectifies the other. Yet, although sexual difference is often the first step toward rethinking identities and relationships to others and the city, it is not the last. I argue that poet Bud Osborn, the play The Postman, the projects Ogimaa Mikana, [murmur] and Walking With Our Sisters, and community initiatives such as Jane’s Walk, also invite all readers and pedestrians to question the equality, official history and inhabitability of Canadian cities. As these peripatetic works emphasize, how, where and why we choose to walk is a significant commentary on the nature of public space and democracy in contemporary urban Canada. This interdisciplinary study focuses on Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, cities where there has been not only some of the greatest social and economic change in Canada under neoliberalism but also the greatest concentration of affective, peripatetic practices that react to these changes. The nineteenth-century flâneur’s pursuit of knowledge is no longer adequate to approach the everyday reality of the local and contingent effects of global capitalism. As these walkers reject an oversimplified and romanticized notion of belonging to a city or nation based on normative identity categories, they recognize the vulnerability of others and demand that cities be more than locations of precarity and economic growth. This dissertation critically engages diverse Canadian peripatetic perspectives notably absent in theories of urban walking and extends them in new directions. Although the topic of walking suggests an anthropocentrism that contradicts the turn to posthumanism in literary and cultural studies, the walkers in this study open the peripatetic up to non-anthropocentric notions as the autonomous subject of liberal individualism often associated with the male urban walking tradition is displaced by a new focus on the interdependent, affective relation of self and city and on attending to others, to the care of and responsibility for others and the city.

Building Design, Durability, Maintenance: Methodology for the Durability Forecasting
Creators: name: Pollo, Riccardo
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2014

description: The paper describes a research based on the use of the software BIM (Building Information Modeling) which is associated with an experimental procedure of the evaluation of durability and the life cycle based on FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), one of the methods for durability assessment indicated by the ISO 15686-1 standard. The study shows the methodology and develops a case study on the refurbishment of an old building and discusses its outcome. The experiment on one side illustrates the utility of the analytical approach of FMEA and on the other side the difficulty to use different data and information to be considered in the durability evaluation carried out by the designer based on the expert assessment. The role of the experts is to design a model and to assess the criticality of each event and to define the relationship between the causes and effects on building elements function. The designer has to define the environmental conditions of the site, the specifications of the material used, the skills of workmanship. The study has shown a quite realistic outcome and significant indications for the designer. Such a result suggests the development of the research.

Non-Canonical Functions of SMAD2 and SMAD3 During Myogenic Differentiation and Fusion

description: The transcription factors SMAD2 and SMAD3 are the effectors of classical transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signalling. This signalling cascade is involved in many cellular processes including proliferation and differentiation and is known to be a potent inhibitor of myogenic differentiation through SMAD3. We have previously shown that retinoic acid (RA) can upregulate SMAD3 in models of adipogenesis and mesenchymal stem cells and that SMAD3 can interact with the bZIP transcription factor C/EBPβ to disrupt its DNA binding. Forced expression of C/EBPβ inhibits myogenic differentiation but the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Herein we show that RA increases Smad3 expression in myoblasts and that RA treatment antagonizes TGFβ-mediated inhibition of myogenic differentiation. TGFβ treatment increased C/EBPβ expression which was reversed by RA treatment. Further, RA was able to disrupt C/EBPβ occupancy of the Pax7 and Smad2 promoters in myoblasts. Loss of C/EBPβ in primary myoblasts using a conditional knockout model partially protected these cells from the anti-myogenic effects of TGFβ treatment. The TGFβ effector protein SMAD2 is expressed in myoblasts but its specific function in myogenesis has not been determined, as Smad2 knockout models are embryonic lethal. Thus, we created a novel Smad2 conditional knockout model where Smad2 is excised in PAX7-expressing muscle satellite cells. Herein we demonstrate a role for SMAD2 specifically in myogenic fusion. We describe a regeneration defect after acute injury and decreased fiber cross-sectional area at P21 (post-natal day 21) in Smad2cKO muscle, without affecting the numbers of PAX7-positive cells. Further, we reveal a mechanism whereby SMAD2 regulates KLF4 expression and mediates the KLF4-induced increased of the fusion gene Npnt. This work describes the pro-myogenic actions of RA-induced SMAD3 and the novel function of SMAD2 in terminal myogenic differentiation and fusion. This work also discusses future directions, implications and new insights into non-canonical SMAD actions.

Geomorphic river sensitivity: addressing spatio-temporal complexities of a "perfect landscape"
Creators: name: Khan, Sana
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The geomorphic sensitivity of a river is dependent on three key attributes: the mix of imposed and flux controls that govern the erosion-deposition dynamics occurring at any position in a catchment, system preconditioning that results from legacies of historical capacity for adjustment; and catchment scale sediment (dis)connectivity that controls the expression of geomorphic change in a catchment. This thesis uses these three geomorphic attributes to assess the geomorphic sensitivity of rivers across the case study Richmond River catchment, NSW, Australia. It also provides a package of remote sensing techniques and workflows for assessing geomorphic river sensitivity, that others can adapt and use in their own catchments. In this digital era of publically available catchment wide datasets, access to high computational power and semi-automation, it is now possible to quantify the geomorphic attributes of a landscape and assess trends and patterns with a high level of confidence. In order to quantitatively assess the pattern and gradient of geomorphic river sensitivity across an entire catchment, along with field investigation, this research harnesses the information embedded within Digital Elevation Models and historical planform records. The work on geomorphic controls uses readily available remote sensing datasets to assess the mix of imposed and flux controls operating on different river types along longitudinal profiles. Univariate and bivariate statistics is used to assess relationships between controls, and the envelopes and gradient of controls that explain the variability and pattern of river types in a catchment. The research on historical capacity for adjustment tracks the geomorphic adjustment across the Richmond catchment since European colonisation and provides an approach to categorise the geomorphic sensitivity of rivers across a catchment. A method for assessing whether rivers are geomorphically Fragile, Active Sensitive, Passive Sensitive, Insensitive and Resistant is presented. The research on sediment (dis)connectivity assesses the role of system (de)coupling on network scale sediment flux to identify hostspots of channel adjustment. This thesis integrates this research on geomorphic controls, historical adjustment and sediment connectivity to assess the contemporary and future sensitivity of rivers in the Richmond catchment. In addition to this, technical papers and chapters provide novel GIS workflows for rapidly, semi-automating assessment of geomorphic attributes across a catchment using publically available datasets. Workflows have been built for the semi-automation of valley segment mapping across a catchment, and the semi-automation of quantification of imposed and flux controls across a catchment.

description: The research comes from the deepest reasons of the crisis, in order to recognize in such reasons themselves the direction to come out, the new needs and the new challenges. The local resources (material and immaterial) were reconsidered as patrimony, precious but limited, of each specific area to trace out a path of supportability able to rebuild new relations between project/production and environmental culture. The industrial production becomes a driving force for the economic renewal through an iterative cycle between research/science and economics aiming to smart building, meant as practice in evolution. This practise is careful to the local, environmental, cultural and economic situation, whose parameters are identity, energy, environment, mobility and economics that give back different scale answers.

description: This dissertation explores the local, material, and affective processes of Settler (non-Indigenous) attachment to land on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I describe these feelings for land as Settler belonging and my research is guided by a reflexive and interdisciplinary approach that seeks to “explain Settlers to ourselves.” Through original archival research and personal reflection, I argue that “(dis)possession,” a term that encompasses Settler efforts to take the land and belong to the land, is a generational process, one that is worked at over time in an effort to link the past with the present and serve future Settler belonging. Through a study of plants, forest resource extraction, roads and railways, park creation, and real estate development in the Cowichan Valley and Sooke-Juan de Fuca regions, I argue that Settler feelings for land manifest in locally specific and contradictory ways. I build upon studies of Settler colonialism and political economy in Canada by adapting the staples approach, as developed by Harold A. Innis, Mel Watkins, and others, to trace the intersection of belonging with the resource economy and the characteristics of Settler colonialism. This dissertation links historical and ongoing transformations in the relations of production, such as the conversion of private forestry lands into real estate, to reveal the ways in which belonging adjusts to political and economic changes that both assist and threaten its future. I argue that studying the locality of belonging contributes insight and nuance to our understanding of materiality and affect, class relations, the staple economy, and Settler colonialism’s broader processes. In doing so, I demonstrate that Settler attachment to land is entrenched and expanded through a series of recurring events that are shared, personal, and conflictual.

description: The building sector is responsible for almost 40% of the final energy use, and a little bit less of related green gasses emissions, in industrialised countries. Fulfilment of the Kyoto Protocol commitments as well as, more recently, of the objectives set by the Energy Performance of Building Directive 2010/31/EC within the strategic European Programme 20/20/20 (20% reduction of energy consumption, 20% of energy produced using renewable sources, 20% less green gasses emissions) implies a radical change in the design and construction of buildings, which will have to perform as quasi-zero energy systems by 2020. Hence, it is necessary and urgent to develop technological, architecture-integrated solutions able to perform better that what is strictly required by current standards while assuring indoor comfort conditions during the whole year in different climate zones as the ones characterising the Italian land. Within this framework, the research project PR.I.M.E3, here presented, has intended to contribute to the above mentioned objectives through the development and testing of a prototype of building modular unit, single and combined, characterised by high energy efficiency, reduction of green gasses emissions, and use of eco-compatible materials.

description: In the field of applied research in construction, the constant request from the production's sector and the persisting both European (Directive 2010/31/EU and 2012/27/UE) and national (Legislative Decree 63/13, LD 115/ 09, LD 28/11) normative indications require testing of technology solutions for envelope ever more efficient in terms of energy and the environment. The conversion of locally generated energy from renewable sources assumes a particularly important role in the energy balance of the building-plant system. In this respect, the paper illustrates the results of technological experimentation conducted within the SEEM (Solar Eco - efficient Envelope Model) Project, funded in 2011 by the Ministry of Environment. The project involved the study of a combined system of solar and wind chimney, architecturally integrated into an envelope systems of the tertiary sector, in order to produce electricity and heat from renewable sources. The study proposes the performance analysis of the SEEM system's components, with particular attention to the thermo-physical relationship between the building and the integrated plant system.

description: Comment on `Fickian Non-Gaussian Diffusion in Glass-Forming Liquids', by Rusciano et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 168001 (2022). In a recent Letter, Rusciano et al. examined the statistics of individual particles displacements in two-dimensional glass-formers and concluded that the corresponding probability distribution is non-Gaussian in a time regime where the mean-squared displacement is Fickian. Here, we clarify that the multiple length scales and time scales reported in this work have either been characterized before, or are not well-defined. This leads us to dispute the conclusions that glass-formers display Fickian non-Gaussian behaviour and that this analogy fruitfully addresses the central questions regarding the nature of dynamic heterogeneity in these systems.

Publisher: name: International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management
Year: 2014

description: Climate change mitigation calls for energy systems minimising end-use demands, optimising the fuel efficiency of conversion systems, increasing the use of renewable energy sources and exploiting synergies wherever possible. In parallel, global fresh water resources are strained due to amongst others population and wealth increase and competitive water uses from agriculture and industry is causing many nations to turn to desalination technologies. This article investigates a Jordanian energy scenario with two different desalination technologies; reverse osmosis (RO) driven by electricity and Multi Stage Flash (MSF) desalination driven by Cogeneration of Heat and Power (CHP). The two systems impact the energy systems in different ways due to the technologies’ particular characteristics. The systems are analyses in the energy systems analysis model EnergyPLAN to determine the impacts on energy system performance. Results indicate that RO and MSF are similar in fuel use. While there is no use of waste heat from condensing mode plants, efficiencies for CHP and MSF are not sufficiently good to results in lower fuel usage than RO. The Jordanian energy system is somewhat inflexible giving cause to Critical Excess Electricity Production (CEEP) even at relatively modest wind power penetrations. Here RO assists the energy system in decreasing CEEP – and even more if water storage is applied.

description: This project is geared towards investigating the best approach(es) to using the dietary intake data from the adolescent brain cognition development study. The study comes with 14 questions regarding the dietary intake of adolescents. In our study we will use three approaches to analyzing the dietary intake data: 1) Theory driven summary scores of the 14 dietary intake variables. 6 scores will be calculated separately and used to predict body mass index and waist circumference. 1. One score: (average of all responses) [cna_1_p to cna_14_p] 2. One score without considering olive oil, beans, and nuts [cna_1_p to cna_7_p, cna_10_p, cna_12_p - cna_14_p] 3. Moderation foods (junk food) [cna_10_p, cna_12_p to cna_14_p] 4. Recommended foods [cna_1_p to cna_9_p, cna_10_p, cna_11_p] 5. Recommended foods without olive oil, beans, nuts, fish, poultry [cna_1_p to cna_7_p] 6. Fruit and vegetable score [cna_2_p to cna_4_p] 2) Supervised learning approach to maximizing prediction of body mass index and waist circumference using a iterative random forest model of the 14 dietary intake variables. 3) Unsupervised learning approach to finding groups of people with similar dietary intake profiles. We plan to use these groupings to see if they predict body mass index or waist circumference.

description: We present Arecibo, GBT, VLA and WIYN/pODI observations of the ALFALFA source AGC 226067. Originally identified as an ultra-compact high velocity cloud and candidate Local Group galaxy, AGC 226067 is spatially and kinematically coincident with the Virgo cluster, and the identification by multiple groups of an optical counterpart with no resolved stars supports the interpretation that this systems lies at the Virgo distance (D=17 Mpc). The combined observations reveal that the system consists of multiple components: a central HI source associated with the optical counterpart (AGC 226067), a smaller HI-only component (AGC 229490), a second optical component (AGC 229491), and extended low surface brightness HI. Only ~1/4 of the single-dish HI emission is associated with AGC 226067; as a result, we find M_HI/L_g ~ 6 Msun/Lsun, which is lower than previous work. At D=17 Mpc, AGC 226067 has an HI mass of 1.5 x 10^7 Msun and L_g = 2.4 x 10^6 Lsun, AGC 229490 (the HI-only component) has M_HI = 3.6 x 10^6 Msun, and AGC 229491 (the second optical component) has L_g = 3.6 x 10^5 Lsun. The nature of this system of three sources is uncertain: AGC 226067 and AGC 229490 may be connected by an HI bridge, and AGC 229490 and AGC 229491 are separated by only 0.5'. The current data do not resolve the HI in AGC 229490 and its origin is unclear. We discuss possible scenarios for this system of objects: an interacting system of dwarf galaxies, accretion of material onto AGC 226067, or stripping of material from AGC 226067.

A Novel alternatively spliced isoform of the mu-opioid receptor: functional antagonism
Creators: name: Gris, Denis
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2010

description: Abstract: Background: Opioids are the most widely used analgesics for the treatment of clinical pain. They produce their therapeutic effects by binding to μ-opioid receptors (MORs), which are 7 transmembrane domain (7TM) G-proteincoupled receptors (GPCRs), and inhibiting cellular activity. However, the analgesic efficacy of opioids is compromised by side-effects such as analgesic tolerance, dependence and opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). In contrast to opioid analgesia these side effects are associated with cellular excitation. Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain these phenomena, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying tolerance and OIH remain poorly understood. Results: We recently discovered a new human alternatively spliced isoform of MOR (MOR1K) that is missing the Nterminal extracellular and first transmembrane domains, resulting in a 6TM GPCR variant. To characterize the pattern of cellular transduction pathways activated by this human MOR1K isoform, we conducted a series of pharmacological and molecular experiments. Results show that stimulation of MOR1K with morphine leads to excitatory cellular effects. In contrast to stimulation of MOR1, stimulation of MOR1K leads to increased Ca2+ levels as well as increased nitric oxide (NO) release. Immunoprecipitation experiments further reveal that unlike MOR1, which couples to the inhibitory Gαi/o complex, MOR1K couples to the stimulatory Gαs complex. Conclusion: The major MOR1 and the alternative MOR1K isoforms mediate opposite cellular effects in response to morphine, with MOR1K driving excitatory processes. These findings warrant further investigations that examine animal and human MORK1 expression and function following chronic exposure to opioids, which may identify MOR1K as a novel target for the development of new clinically effective classes of opioids that have high analgesic efficacy with diminished ability to produce tolerance, OIH, and other unwanted side-effects.

description: The Lee-Wick electrodynamics in the vicinity of a conducting plate is investigated. The propagator for the gauge field is calculated and the interaction between the plate and a point-like electric charge is computed. The boundary condition imposed on the vector field is taken to be the one that vanishes, on the plate, the normal component of the dual field strength to the plate. It is shown that the image method is not valid in Lee-Wick electrodynamics.

description: We present the mathematical ingredients for an extension of the Third Law of Thermodynamics (Nernst heat postulate) to nonequilibrium processes. The central quantity is the excess heat which measures the quasistatic addition to the steady dissipative power when a parameter in the dynamics is changed slowly. We prove for a class of driven Markov jump processes that it vanishes at zero environment temperature. Furthermore, the nonequilibrium heat capacity goes to zero with temperature as well. Main ingredients in the proof are the matrix-forest theorem for the relaxation behavior of the heat flux, and the matrix-tree theorem giving the low-temperature asymptotics of the stationary probability. The main new condition for the extended Third Law requires the absence of major (low-temperature induced) delays in the relaxation to the steady dissipative structure.

description: Rig categories with finite biproducts are categories with two monoidal products, where one is a biproduct and the other distributes over it. In this work we present tape diagrams, a sound and complete diagrammatic language for these categories, that can be intuitively thought as string diagrams of string diagrams. We test the effectiveness of our approach against the positive fragment of Tarski's calculus of relations.

cuneiform

description: This project is inspired by the durability of the data preserved in the oldest writing system known to mankind, called cuneiform. There are approximately a half-million artifacts with cuneiform writing spread all over the planet. Many of these objects are not even photographed, let alone translated. Scholars in this field have made a number of relational text databases, in order to identify these objects housed in museums and private collections, and while these databases have helped create a system of identificaiton and textual analysis, they have yet to be linked together to each other and to the existing scholarship. FactGrid is a Wikibase triplestore designed for historical research, which makes this the ideal hub for linking the existing scholarship, both primary and secondary sources, for every cuneiform artifact in publication.

Decision Rules for Adolescent Substance Use Treatment Settings: An Online Delphi Process
Creators: name: Grant, Sean
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: "Decision rules" are guidelines that recommend what services should be offered to clients, based on an assessment of their individual needs and treatment goals. Our project aims to develop and test decision rules that recommend the setting(s) where adolescent clients should receive substance use treatment based on their individual needs and treatment goals. Namely, we aim to develop and test decision rules that are relevant to the experiences of stakeholders affected by adolescent substance use by examining where there is agreement, or "consensus", on the needs and goals that stakeholders think are important to include in our decision rules. To do this, we are running an online "Delphi" panel, in which stakeholders are asked to anonymously give their opinions on various individual needs and treatment goals.
Quality of space and right to health. An interdisicplinary research in hospital facilities
Creators: name: Setola, Nicoletta
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2014

description: This paper presents the results and the approach of an interdisciplinary research that deals with the study of the relationship between the protection of the right to health and the design and use of space of hospitals. The research aims to provide criteria for the evaluation and design of space and organization in relation to regional and national policies on health. The approach takes as a reference the theory of social rights as rights based on the "relationship", whose effectiveness contributes to the quality of the spaces in which these relations take place. Key to the reading of the approach is the patient’s flow of experience in the public spaces of the hospital. The tools of configurational analysis in architecture were intertwined with sociological methods and investigation methodologies on the constitutional protection of rights. The research results are a set of knowledge articulated in a model, process data sheets and indicators for the evaluation of the flows in hospital.

description: Motivated by applications to multi-antenna wireless networks, we propose a distributed and asynchronous algorithm for stochastic semidefinite programming. This algorithm is a stochastic approximation of a continous- time matrix exponential scheme regularized by the addition of an entropy-like term to the problem's objective function. We show that the resulting algorithm converges almost surely to an $\varepsilon$-approximation of the optimal solution requiring only an unbiased estimate of the gradient of the problem's stochastic objective. When applied to throughput maximization in wireless multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the proposed algorithm retains its convergence properties under a wide array of mobility impediments such as user update asynchronicities, random delays and/or ergodically changing channels. Our theoretical analysis is complemented by extensive numerical simulations which illustrate the robustness and scalability of the proposed method in realistic network conditions.

description: EU standards and rules concerning energy efficiency in the building sector are pushing to achieve ever-higher performances. This also represents a strong driver for innovative construction techniques, inducing manufacturers to invest professional and financial resources in the development of building components that can meet the highest quality and performance standards. During the last decades, many components have been developed to improve the energy efficiency of the building envelope. This paper summarizes three research activities entrusted by private companies to the Department of Architecture of the University of Bologna from 2009 to 2012, aiming at increasing the energy performances of building components and systems. Several themes had to be addressed: two different dry construction systems and a range of installation configurations for airtightness for high quality windows. Although focused on different and specific issues, some criteria common criteria were applied on all three researches: it allowed to outline an approach suitable to be applied in further contexts.
