description: Several Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) systems have been used successfully for strengthening of structures during the last decades. However, the fracture often occurs in the concrete adherent or in the adhesive interface when used for steel strengthening. As a consequence the CFRP is poorly utilized with a non ductile and brittle failure mode as the outcome. Mechanical anchorage can be used to utilize the full capacity of the CFRP materials but cannot yet challenge systems used for steel. Such systems can be used to transfer stresses from the CFRP material efficiently to the remaining structure. However, reaching the full capacity of the CFRP material is difficult since anchoring often courses premature failure modes such as crushing of the Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP), slip in the FRP and adjacent adherent, cutting of the fibres, bending of fibres and frontal overload. This paper presents a novel mechanical integrated sleeve wedge anchorage which seem very promising when perusing the scope of ultimate utilization of CFRP 8mm rods (with a tension capacity of approximately 140kN). Compression transverse to the CFRP is evaluated to prevent premature failure. The anchorage is modelled in the 3D finite Element program ABAQUS, just as digital image correlation (DIC) testing was performed to verify the finite element simulation. Also a new optimized design was produced to ensure that the finite element simulation and anchorage behaviour correlated well. It is seen that the simulation and DIC testing correspond well when strains on the barrel surface are compared. As a consequence it was possible to produce a new optimized anchorage which utilized the full capacity of the 8mm CFRP rod.

description: Background: Cycling and other forms of active transportation provide health benefits via increased physical activity. However, direct evidence of the extent to which these benefits may be offset by exposure and intake of traffic-related air pollution is limited. The purpose of this study is to measure changes in endothelial function, measures of oxidative stress and inflammation, and lung function in healthy participants before and after cycling along a high- and low- traffic route. Methods: Participants (n = 38) bicycled for 1 h along a Downtown and a Residential designated bicycle route in a randomized crossover trial. Heart rate, power output, particulate matter air pollution (PM10, PM2.5, and PM1) and particle number concentration (PNC) were measured. Lung function, endothelial function (reactive hyperemia index, RHI), C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine were assessed within one hour pre- and post-trial. Results: Geometric mean PNC exposures and intakes were higher along the Downtown (exposure = 16,226 particles/cm3; intake = 4.54 × 1010 particles) compared to the Residential route (exposure = 9367 particles/cm3; intake = 3.13 × 1010 particles). RHI decreased following cycling along the Downtown route and increased on the Residential route; in mixed linear regression models, the (post-pre) change in RHI was 21% lower following cycling on the Downtown versus the Residential route (−0.43, 95% CI: -0.79, −0.079) but RHI decreases were not associated with measured exposure or intake of air pollutants. The differences in RHI by route were larger amongst females and older participants. No consistent associations were observed for any of the other outcome measures. Conclusions: Although PNC exposures and intakes were higher along the Downtown route, the lack of association between air pollutant exposure or intake with RHI and other measures suggests other exposures related to cycling on the Downtown route may have been influential in the observed differences between routes in RHI.

Improving the production of high molecular weight pullulan using a new radial reciprocating plate impeller

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: Pullulan is a natural biopolymer with many useful traits. It has been produced commercially through fermentation with Aureobasidium pullulans at a fairly stable level for decades. Yet, the use of pullulan has been largely limited to the food industry due to its relatively high price. This research project was carried out in order to improve the cost efficiency in the mass production of high molecular weight pullulan and hopefully render it more economically available for many of its potential applications. One of the main challenges in its production is the mixing of viscous non-Newtonian broth that is formed gradually through fermentation. A new radial reciprocating plate impeller was designed based on the axial reciprocating plate impeller, which was shown to be efficient when dealing with highly viscous non-Newtonian media. The new design was focused on making the mechanism of the axial reciprocation more adaptable to existing industrial mixing devices. A prototype of this new impeller was built and tested to determine its power requirement and mass transfer characteristics in a laboratory scale bioreactor. Compared to a triple Rushton impeller and an axial reciprocating plate impeller, the new impeller proved to be efficient in different media with a wide range of rheological properties. Simulation using computational fluid dynamics also confirmed that mixing using this new impeller was more uniform compared to the triple Rushton impeller. Experimental designs were employed to optimize the mass production of high molecular weight pullulan using this new impeller. An exopolysaccharide productivity of 0.30 gL-1h-1 was obtained while maintaining the molecular weight of pullulan, which is indicated by the broth viscosity, at a high level. The findings of this study provide a new way to adequately mix viscous broth of aerobic fermentations. Also, this new radial reciprocating plate impeller should be easily adapted to large scale industrial bioreactors to achieve more uniform mixing in rheologically-evolving fermentation broths.

description: Abstract Resonators of surface plasmons are discussed in this review. Any material supporting the excitation of surface plasmons, either by light, or by electron beams can be used for designing a resonator. Despite the number of materials supporting surface plasmons being restricted to a small number, noble metals, some two-dimensional materials as graphene, transition metal oxides, and several highly doped semiconductors have been used in plasmonic applications. Isolated and coupled metal nanoparticles, arrays of particles on substrates, nanoparticle suspensions, alternated metal and dielectric thin films, dielectric cavities in surfaces of noble metals and sheets and stripes of two-dimensional materials are typical examples of systems used for excitation of plasmonic resonances. These resonances have been used in a fast increasing number of applications: transformation of light beam properties, selective optical induced heating, sensing of chemical or biological compounds, enhancement of non-linear optical excitation in nanomaterials, optical coherence applications in quantum optics. The operating spectral range, variety of sizes, shapes and geometrical configurations that can be tailored and the exceptional optical properties of surface plasmons promote their use in a wide variety of applications at the nanoscale, where other types of resonators cannot be used, or are too inefficient. We review a large variety of plasmonic resonators and their most relevant properties. We first discuss the fundamental properties of the plasmonic resonances, using simple physical models. Then we present a retrospective of applications evidencing the most relevant aspects of interaction of surface plasmons with matter and radiation. Finally we focus the most recent applications covering metamaterials, plasmonic materials with topological properties and resonators supporting plasmon-electron interaction.

description: Asthma emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalization represent a great burden on the Canadian population in terms of morbidity and health expenditures. This thesis aims to understand the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on these outcomes. This cross-sectional analysis of the NPHS 1996 Asthma Supplement was based on data from 1814 respondents with asthma. After controlling for various individual-level factors, measures of low SES (low education, low income and high unemployment) at the community level were strong predictors of increased risks of having at least one ED visit or having at least one hospitalization. At the household level, middle-income was associated with greater likelihood of hospitalization but not ED visits, whereas low education and unemployment were related to greater likelihood of ED visits. The relationship between ED visits or hospitalization and SES was not explained by more contacts with key primary health services. The greater use of ED visits among those with low household income was stronger in respondents reporting rare or no asthma symptoms as opposed to those with frequent or continuous symptoms. They may have altered symptom perception. The independent association of area-level SES with hospital use among individuals with asthma needs further research to identify the specific factors that could be the basis of community-based interventions to improve asthma control.

description: Multimedia learning research addresses the question of how to design instructional material effectively. Signaling and adding graphics are typical instructional means that might support constructing a mental model, particularly when learning abstract content from multiple representations. Although signals can help to select relevant aspects of the learning content, additional graphics could help to visualize mentally the subject matter. Learners’ prior knowledge is an important factor for the effectiveness of both types of support: signals and added graphics. Therefore, we conducted an experimental study situated in a university course of computer science with N = 124 participants. In our 2 × 2 factorial design, we investigated the effects of signals and illustrating graphics on learning outcomes and their potential interplay. Based on our regression analysis, we revealed prior knowledge as a significant moderator. Although learners with low levels of prior knowledge can profit from all types of help but still gain rather weak learning outcomes, learners with medium levels of prior knowledge profit from the synergy of both helps. With higher levels of prior knowledge, signals were particularly hampering. To improve the understanding of these supportive or hampering effects, a more fine-grained analysis of these processes and motivational effects is necessary.

description: Objectives Periodontal treatment might reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes. The efficacy of periodontal treatment to prevent preterm birth, low birth weight, and perinatal mortality was evaluated using meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis. Methods An existing systematic review was updated and meta-analyses performed. Risk of bias, heterogeneity, and publication bias were evaluated, and meta-regression performed. Subgroup analysis was used to compare different studies with low and high risk of bias and different populations, i.e., risk groups. Trial sequential analysis was used to assess risk of random errors. Results Thirteen randomized clinical trials evaluating 6283 pregnant women were meta-analyzed. Four and nine trials had low and high risk of bias, respectively. Overall, periodontal treatment had no significant effect on preterm birth (odds ratio [95% confidence interval] 0.79 [0.57-1.10]) or low birth weight (0.69 [0.43-1.13]). Trial sequential analysis demonstrated that futility was not reached for any of the outcomes. For populations with moderate occurrence (<20%) of preterm birth or low birth weight, periodontal treatment was not efficacious for any of the outcomes, and trial sequential analyses indicated that further trials might be futile. For populations with high occurrence (≥20%) of preterm birth and low birth weight, periodontal treatment seemed to reduce the risk of preterm birth (0.42 [0.24-0.73]) and low birth weight (0.32 [0.15-0.67]), but trial sequential analyses showed that firm evidence was not reached. Periodontal treatment did not significantly affect perinatal mortality, and firm evidence was not reached. Risk of bias, but not publication bias or patients’ age modified the effect estimates. Conclusions Providing periodontal treatment to pregnant women could potentially reduce the risks of perinatal outcomes, especially in mothers with high risks. Conclusive evidence could not be reached due to risks of bias, risks of random errors, and unclear effects of confounding. Further randomized clinical trials are required.

description: Background Childhood maltreatment (CM) exerts various long-lasting psychological and biological changes in affected individuals, with inflammation being an interconnecting element. Besides chronic low-grade inflammation, CM might also affect the energy production of cells by altering the function and density of mitochondria, i.e. the body's main energy suppliers. Here, we compared mitochondrial respiration and density in intact peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), from women with and without CM between two time points, i.e. at the highly inflammatory phase within 1 week after parturition (t0) and again after 1 year (t2). Methods CM exposure was assessed with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Whole blood was collected from n = 52 healthy women within the study ‘My Childhood – Your Childhood’ at both time points to isolate and cryopreserve PBMC. Thawed PBMC were used to measure mitochondrial respiration and density by high-resolution respirometry followed by spectrophotometric analyses of citrate-synthase activity. Results Over time, quantitative respiratory parameters increased, while qualitative flux control ratios decreased, independently of CM. Women with CM showed higher mitochondrial respiration and density at t0, but not at t2. We found significant CM group × time interaction effects for ATP-turnover-related respiration and mitochondrial density. Conclusions This is the first study to longitudinally investigate mitochondrial bioenergetics in postpartum women with and without CM. Our results indicate that CM-related mitochondrial alterations reflect allostatic load, probably due to higher inflammatory states during parturition, which normalize later. However, later inflammatory states might moderate the vulnerability for a second-hit on the level of mitochondrial bioenergetics, at least in immune cells.

description: Enabling changes at both process type and process instance level is an essential requirement for any adaptive process-aware information system (PAIS). Particularly, it should be possible to migrate a (long-)running process instance to a new type schema version, even if this instance has been individually modified before. Further instance migration must not violate soundness; i.e., structural and behavorial consistency need to be preserved. Compliance has been introduced as basic notion to ensure that instances, whose state has progressed too far, are prohibited from being migrated. However, this also excludes them from further process optimizations, which is not tolerable in many practical settings. This paper introduces a number of strategies for coping with non-compliant instances in the context of process change such that they can benefit from future process type changes on the one hand, but do not run into soundness problems on the other hand. We show, for example, how to automatically adjust process type changes at instance level to enable the migration of a higher number of instances. The different strategies are compared and discussed along existing approaches. Altogether, adequate treatment of non-compliant process instances contributes to full process lifecycle support in adaptive PAIS.

description: Orphan nuclear receptor TLX (NR2E1) plays a critical role in the regulation of neural stem cells (NSC) as well as in the development of NSC-derived brain tumors. In the last years, new data have emerged implicating TLX in prostate and breast cancer. Therefore, inhibitors of TLX transcriptional activity may have a significant impact on the treatment of several critical malignancies. However, the TLX protein possesses a non-canonical ligand-binding domain (LBD), which lacks a ligand-binding pocket (conventionally targeted in case of nuclear receptors) that complicates the development of small molecule inhibitors of TLX. Herein, we utilized a rational structure-based design approach to identify small molecules targeting the Atro-box binding site of human TLX LBD. As a result of virtual screening of ~7 million molecular structures, 97 compounds were identified and evaluated in the TLX-responsive luciferase reporter assay. Among those, three chemicals demonstrated 40–50% inhibition of luciferase-detected transcriptional activity of the TLX orphan nuclear receptor at a dose of 35 µM. The identified compounds represent the first class of small molecule inhibitors of TLX transcriptional activity identified via methods of computer-aided drug discovery.

description: We perform a combined analysis of cosmic shear tomography, galaxy-galaxy lensing tomography, and redshift-space multipole power spectra (monopole and quadrupole) using 450 deg2 of imaging data by the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS-450) overlapping with two spectroscopic surveys: the 2-degree Field Lensing Survey (2dFLenS) and the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We restrict the galaxy-galaxy lensing and multipole power spectrum measurements to the overlapping regions with KiDS, and self-consistently compute the full covariance between the different observables using a large suite of N-body simulations. We methodically analyse different combinations of the observables, finding that the galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements are particularly useful in improving the constraint on the intrinsic alignment amplitude, while the multipole power spectra are useful in tightening the constraints along the lensing degeneracy direction. The fully combined constraint on S8 = σ8 √ωm/0.3 = 0.742 ± 0.035, which is an improvement by 20 per cent compared to KiDS alone, corresponds to a 2.6s discordance with Planck, and is not significantly affected by fitting to a more conservative set of scales. Given the tightening of the parameter space, we are unable to resolve the discordance with an extended cosmology that is simultaneously favoured in a model selection sense, including the sum of neutrino masses, curvature, evolving dark energy and modified gravity. The complementarity of our observables allows for constraints on modified gravity degrees of freedom that are not simultaneously bounded with either probe alone, and up to a factor of three improvement in the S8 constraint in the extended cosmology compared to KiDS alone.

Evaluating the labour market experience of Canadian male and female 1986 University graduates.

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Economics, General.

description: A major issue in labour economics concerns the differences in earnings between males and females. This thesis evaluates the male-female wage gap of the 1986 university graduates using The Follow-up of 1986 Graduates (NGS). The wage differential among graduates with bachelor degrees widens over the period 1986-1991. The increase in wage discrimination is the result of a change in the skill sets of males and females. However, wage discrimination decreases among graduates with masters degrees. The main reason for the decrease is the improved returns, relative to males, that females earn for their human capital characteristics. The results are obtained using Oaxaca's (1973), Cotton's (1988) and Wellington's (1993) decomposition methodologies. Wellington's (1993) two-period decomposition takes advantage of the panel nature of the data and has been employed only once previously on Canadian data. This thesis shows that the analysis of wage differentials is sensitive to the parameters of the model and the underlying populations.
Studies on the biology of the human coronavirus, strain 229E.

description: This thesis describes three phases of our studies on the biology of human coronavirus, 229E: the development of a plaque assay system, studies on the effect of Actinomycin D on the replication of this virus, and the isolation and preliminary characterization of an internal component of the virion. A medium was developed which permitted the production of plaques by 229E on monolayers of L 132 cells in closed containers which could be incubated in regular incubators, a result which we were not able to duplicate using published formulations. This assay system exhibited a linear dose-response curve over a wide range of virus concentrations and was applicable to the assay of this virus in several cell lines; in addition, it could be used for the assay of other viruses. Several other features of the assay are also discussed briefly. The replication of 229E in L 132 cells was found to be inhibited in the presence of Actinomycin D, a potent inhibitor of DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. While the drug has adverse effects on the host cell, several arguments have been brought forth which argue in favor of a specific effect on virus replication; the replication of vesicular stomatitis virus was unimpeded at 10 times the 50% inhibitory level of AMD for 229E, and largely unaffected at 100 times the mean inhibitory dose; in addition the cells were not themselves greatly affected and the time course of drug sensitivity appeared to indicate a temporally discrete period of AMD susceptibility. The sensitivity of AMD was shown to be dependent on the virus input used to initiate the replicative cycle. Using disruption by the detergent Nonidet P-40, we were able to isolate, in sucrose gradients, a subviral particle. This particle, a nucleoprotein, has a density of 1.27 and appears linear in the electron microscope. It is suggested that this structure probably represents the viral nucleocapsid. Some further aspects of its relation to virus morphology are discussed.

description: Background The prognosis of patients with Ewing sarcoma (ES) has improved over the course of the last decades. However, those patients suffering from metastatic and recurrent ES still have only poor chances of survival and require new therapeutic approaches. Interleukin-6 (IL6) is a pleiotropic cytokine expressed by immune cells and a great variety of cancer cells. It induces inflammatory responses, enhances proliferation and inhibits apoptosis in cancer cells, thereby promoting chemoresistance. Methods We investigated expression of IL6, its receptors and the IL6 signal transduction pathway in ES tumor samples and cell lines applying reverse transcriptase PCR, immunoblot and immunohistochemistry. The impact of IL6 on cell viability and apoptosis in ES cell lines was analyzed by MTT and propidium iodide staining, migration assessed by chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. Results Immunohistochemistry proved IL6 expression in the stroma of ES tumor samples. IL6 receptor subunits IL6R and IL6ST were expressed on the surface of ES cells. Treatment of ES cells with rhIL6 resulted in phosphorylation of STAT3. rhIL6 protected ES cells from serum starvation-induced apoptosis and promoted migration. IL6 blood serum levels were elevated in a subgroup of ES patients with poor prognosis. Conclusions These data suggest that IL6 contributes to ES tumor progression by increasing resistance to apoptosis in conditions of cellular stress, such as serum starvation, and by promotion of metastasis.

description: Glycine plays two roles in neurotransmission. It acts as the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord and brainstem and is a co-agonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) throughout the central nervous system. Changes in extracellular levels of glycine modulate NMDAR functions and consequently, are critical for excitatory synaptic transmission. In the hippocampus, the extracellular levels of glycine at excitatory synapses are regulated by the presence of glycine transporters (type 1; GlyT1) located both on glia surrounding the synaptic cleft and on presynaptic terminals. Although the mechanism of glycine reuptake is well established, the mechanism of glycine release is still unknown. Here, we used immunocytochemical, confocal and electrophysiological techniques to determine the mechanism underlying glycine release in the stratum radiatum of the CA1 region of mouse hippocampus. Quantitative analysis of triple immunolabelings combining astrocytic, neuronal, glycinergic and glutamatergic markers showed that glycine was preferentially accumulated in glutamatergic presynaptic terminals. In addition, we found that the vast majority of the glutamatergic presynaptic terminals contained glycine and faced postsynaptic NMDARs. Moreover, using electrophysiological recordings we found that glycine released following electrical stimulation activated few glycine receptors on the postsynaptic neurons but instead, strongly modulated the amplitude of NMDAR currents. Overall, our data indicate that glycine is released from glutamatergic presynaptic terminals upon neuronal activity to modulate NMDAR function.

description: The actin cytoskeleton with its dynamic properties serves as the driving force for the movement and division of cells and gives the cell shape and structure. Disorders in the actin cytoskeleton occur in many diseases. Deeper understanding of its regulation is essential in order to better understand these biochemical processes. In our study, we use metal-induced energy transfer (MIET) as a tool to quantitatively examine the rarely considered third dimension of the actin cytoskeleton with nanometer accuracy. In particular, we investigate the influence of different drugs acting on the ROCK pathway on the three-dimensional actin organization. We find that cells treated with inhibitors have a lower actin height to the substrate while treatment with a stimulator for the ROCK pathway increases the actin height to the substrate, while the height of the membrane remains unchanged. This reveals the precise tuning of adhesion and cytoskeleton tension, which leads to a rich three-dimensional structural behaviour of the actin cytoskeleton. This finetuning is differentially affected by either inhibition or stimulation. The high axial resolution shows the importance of the precise finetuning of the actin cytoskeleton and the disturbed regulation of the ROCK pathway has a significant impact on the actin behavior in the z dimension.
Boat people and the 2001 election

description: In the wake of the Tampa incident in August 2001 the Coalition Government developed tougher policies on border control. Many commentators believe that this cost Labor the November 2001 election. The theory is that, even though Labor supported the new policies, the Coalition’s stance was perceived to be more sincere and that this lured away some of Labor’s working-class voters. At the same time, some new-class professionals who would normally have voted Labor were repelled by its support for the Coalition’s policies and voted Green or Democrat. Data collected by the 2001 Australian Election Study (AES) provide some confirmation for this theory, but they also point to a boarder shift in Australia’s electoral politics. National identity was an election tissue in 1996 and again in 2001. On both occasions this worked well for the Coalition. The AES shows that people who feel close to Australia and are proud to be Australian are more likely to vote for the Coalition, while Labor draws a higher level of support from the minority of voters who have a more distant relationship with their country.

description: Paleocological studies based on the analysis of lake sediments offer the potential for high resolution and well-dated records of past environmental conditions. A 2.7 m sediment core raised from Lake WA01 (unofficial name, 61°14'41"N, 136°55'35"W, 1000 m.a.s.l.) in the Aishihik region of the southwest Yukon Territory documents the post-glacial vegetation, fire, and climate history of the region surrounding the study site. The earliest portion of the WA01 pollen record was characterized by the establishment of open birch-shrub tundra at the study site. Picea glauca then established ca. 9,900 cal yrs BP, and has since remained dominant on the landscape Progressively decreasing precipitation in the region over the last ca. 9,000 years, noted in a previous study by Viau et al. (2008), is not captured in the Lake WA01 climate reconstructions. From ca. 9,900 cal yrs BP to the present day, reconstructed mean July temperatures and total annual precipitation at the study site remained essentially constant. A short period of low total annual precipitation is noted from deglaciation at 10,500 cal yrs BP to 9,900 cal yrs BP. The regional-scale fire regime surrounding the study site increased gradually in intensity over the course of the Holocene. Local fires in the area immediately surrounding the study lake decreased gradually in frequency and/or size over the course of the Holocene, though the exact cause remains unclear. An alternating pattern in the sediment loss-on-ignition from Lake WA01 is related to similar trends in □18O values from the Mount Logan oxygen isotope record (Fisher et al., 2008). Based on a positive association between sediment carbonate content and enriched □18O values from the Mount Logan record, it is proposed that periods of increased and decreased sediment carbonate content in the WA01 core are indicative of wetter and drier conditions at the study site, respectively.
