Yeast population dynamics during inoculated and spontaneous fermentations at three local British Columbia wineries
Creators: name: Lange, Jessica Nicole
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Little assessment of yeast assemblages has occurred in Canadian wineries, unlike other large wine producing regions (Spain, Italy, Argentina). The aim of this study was to compare yeast assemblages during inoculated and spontaneous fermentations at three Canadian wineries. The wineries (Quails’ Gate Estate Winery, QGEW; Cedar Creek Estate Winery, CCEW; and Road13 Estate Winery, R13EW) are located in the Okanagan wine region, British Columbia. All three wineries have a history of using commercial yeast. During the 2010 vintage, nine inoculated and three spontaneous Vitis vinifera L. var. Pinot noir fermentations were sampled from four distinct stages of fermentation. Yeast populations from inoculated fermentations were also assessed at QGEW during the following vintage in 2011. Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates were discriminated at the strain level by microsatellite analysis of hyperviariable trinucelotide loci. Non-Saccharomyces species were identified by sequencing the ITS and the D1/D2 domain regions of the large subunit of rDNA. Non-Saccharomyces spp., particularly Henseniaspora uvarum, were the dominant yeasts detected during cold-soak at all three wineries. Spontaneous fermentation appeared to have a greater species/strain diversity/richness than inoculated fermentation at the youngest (R13EW) of the three wineries. Commercial strains were isolated in relatively low frequencies in the spontaneous fermentation at this winery, whereas at the older wineries (QGEW and CCEW) commercial strains dominated fermentation. R13EW was the only winery where the commercial ADY inoculant fully implanted. At QGEW and CCEW, a commercial yeast, Lalvin® ICV-D254, was the major non-inoculant strain detected in both inoculated and spontaneous fermentations. Only QGEW and CCEW reported previous use of this strain in other varietals. Nevertheless, the different wineries exhibited unique yeast species/strain assemblages at all stages of fermentation, even cold-soak. During both vintages studied at QGEW, the non-inoculant ADY strain (Lalvin® ICV-D254) was dominant or co-dominant in inoculated fermentation. Thus, mixed-strain populations in inoculated tanks were observed in both years. This study emphasizes the need for further research on whether the age of a winery is a major factor in affecting the yeast assemblage of fermenting wine, the source(s) of non-inoculant yeast, and the effects yeasts have on the sensorial attributes of the finished wine product.
title: Preventative Oral Health Services Provided by Nurses' Aides to Nursing Home Residents
Creators: name: Hardy, Deborah Lewis
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: The purposes of this investigation were to identify: 1) what preventive oral health services were provided by nurses' aides to nursing home residents, 2) how frequent preventive oral health services were performed by nurses' aides, 3) who nurses' aides reported abnormal or suspicious findings detected in the resident's mouth, 4) what factors discouraged and encouraged nurses' aides performance of oral health services, and 5) how nurses' aides rated their oral health knowledge of services they performed. The study population was comprised of a random sample of 40 percent of nursing home facilities in southeastern Virginia. A 14-item questionnaire was administered to nurses' aides employed at 11 (79 percent of sample) nursing home facilities. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS). Frequency distributions and percentages were tabulated for discrete, nominal, and ordinal scaled data. Results suggest that nurses' aides employed in southeastern Virginia nursing facilities typically perform preventive oral health services such as toothbrushing, mouthrinsing, and denture cleaning procedures for nursing home residents. The majority of nurses' aides indicated that patient cooperativeness was a major factor that encouraged or discouraged the performance of oral health services. Nurses' aides typically reported suspicious and abnormal findings detected in residents' mouths to the nurse in charge of shift. The majority of nurses' aides rated their oral health knowledge of denture cleaning and toothbrushing as excellent. However, a large percentage of nurses' aides rated their oral health knowledge of saliva substitutes and flossing as poor.

Spinidrupa euracantha has broad varical spines of variable length. Short-spined specimens are usually called S. iostoma (A. Adams, 1853), in error because the syntype (BMNH 196572) from the Philippines also has the typical long spines of S. euracantha. Also, the name Murex iostomus A. Adams, 1853 is invalid as it is a junior primary homonym of M. iostoma Sowerby, 1834.

description: Jeanie Macpherson is best known as Cecil B. DeMille’s screenwriter since she collaborated exclusively with the director-producer from 1915 through the silent era and into the sound era, in a working relationship lasting fifteen years. Like many other women who became established as screenwriters, she began her career as a performer, first as a dancer and then as an actress. Her numerous acting screen credits begin in 1908, and nearly thirty of the short films she appeared in for the Biograph Company, most directed by D. W. Griffith, are extant. At Universal Pictures, Macpherson began to write, but due to a fluke she also directed the one film that she wrote there—a one-reel Western, The Tarantula (1913), according to a 1916 Photoplay article (95). Although Anthony Slide cannot confirm the success of the film, both he and Charles Higham retell the story that when the film negative was destroyed by accident, the actress was asked to reshoot the entire motion picture just as she recalled it since the original director was unavailable (Slide 1977, 60; Higham 1973, 38).

description: We show that if a generator of a differential Gerstenhaber algebra satisfies certain Cartan-type identities, then the corresponding Lie bracket is formal. Geometric examples include the shifted de Rham complex of a Poisson manifold and the subcomplex of differential forms on a symplectic manifold vanishing on a Lagrangian submanifold, endowed with the Koszul bracket. As a corollary we generalize a recent result by Hitchin on deformations of holomorphic Poisson manifolds.

description: Trend analyses of prescription opioids in the U.S. indicate use, especially use of prescription opioids stronger than morphine, has more than doubled among adults since the early 1990's (Frenk, Porter, & Paulozzi, 2015). Prescription opioids, like Oxycontin®, are effective pharmacological treatments for acute and chronic pain (Fitzcharles and Shir, 2009 ;  Gallagher and Rosenthal, 2008). When used as indicated, these medications can be an important component of pain management. However, their high abuse potential presents concerns regarding their nonmedical use, which can be defined as ‘use of a prescription opioid that was not prescribed, or taken for the experience or feeling it caused’ (SAMHSA, 2014). In the United States, nonmedical use of prescription opioids (NMPO) is increasingly recognized as a serious public health problem among adults (Blanco et al., 2007; Han et al., 2015 ;  Huang et al., 2006). Nonmedical prescription drug use, specifically nonmedical use of prescription opioids, is also a growing problem in other countries such as Canada (Fischer et al., 2014 ;  Fischer et al., 2013) and Australia (Degenhardt et al., 2006 ;  Rintoul et al., 2011).

REMARKS. — Very young specimens of Pagodula obtuselirata and P. plicilaminata are difficult to separate because they have a similar protoconch and nearly identical morphology of the first and second teleoconch whorls. Therefore a misidentification is always possible in juveniles. Adult specimens of P. plicilaminata are comparatively smaller than P. obtuselirata with more numerous axial lamellae on the last teleoconch whorl and a shorter siphonal canal. Pagodula plicilaminata was transfered to Pagodula, together with P. obtuselirata and other species, by Houart (2001).

description: “One of these days, men are going to get over the fool idea that women have no brains,” Cleo Madison told Photoplay magazine in 1916, “and quit getting insulted at the thought that a skirt-wearer can do their work quite as well as they can. And I don’t believe that day is very far off” (109). Such statements encourage us to imagine Madison in the vanguard of what must then have seemed a major trend. It is clear from the published record of Universal Motion Picture Manufacturing Company credits from 1912–1929 that, beginning in 1915, the company employed increasing numbers of women as directors, and by the end of 1919 it had credited no fewer than eleven women with directing at least one hundred and seventy titles (Braff 2002). Before 1915, Universal credited Grace Cunard, Jeanie Macpherson, and Lois Weber as directors. After 1915, the studio credited Cunard, Madison, Weber, Ruth Ann Baldwin, Eugenie Magnus Ingleton, Bess Meredyth, Ida May Park, Ruth Stonehouse, Lule Warrenton, and Elsie Jane Wilson. By 1920, however, none of these women directed for Universal, which promoted men to take their places. Most never directed again. Madison’s own directorial career lasted scarcely a year. It thus poses with particular clarity the mystery of why Universal’s attitude toward women directors changed so dramatically over such a short period of time. Madison’s case also reveals the instability of the facts contemporary scholars encounter when they begin to investigate silent era filmmakers in depth.

description: Background: Little is known on how perceived availability of marijuana is associated with medical marijuana laws. We examined the relationship between medical marijuana laws (MML) and the prevalence of past-month marijuana use, with perceived availability of marijuana. Methods: Data were from respondents included in the National Survey of Drug Use and Health restricted use data portal 2004–2013. Multilevel logistic regression of individual-level data was used to test differences between MML and non-MML states and changes in prevalence of past-month marijuana use and perceived availability from before to after passage of MML among adolescents, young adults and older adults controlling for demographics. Results: Among adults 26+, past-month prevalence of marijuana use increased from 5.87% to 7.15% after MML passage (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR): 1.24 [1.16–1.31]), but no change in prevalence of use was found for 12–17 or 18–25 year-olds. Perceived availability of marijuana increased after MML was enacted among those 26+ but not in younger groups. Among all age groups, prevalence of marijuana use and perception of it being easily available was higher in states that would eventually pass MML by 2013 compared to those that had not. Perceived availability was significantly associated with increased risk of past-month marijuana use in all age groups. Conclusion: Evidence suggests perceived availability as a driver of change in use of marijuana due to MML. To date, this has only occurred in adults 26+ and different scenarios that could explain this change need to be further explored.

description: Introduction: Global ageing is increasing. Most older people live independently but at times require nursing care as they age. This care is provided in a variety of settings including acute, primary, community and residential care services. In such instances, it is important that older people feel comfortable and listened to, and it is imperative that student nurses are educated to competently care for and nurse older people in collaborative partnerships. Intergenerational initiatives promote shared learning and help break down barriers among different age cohorts. An online intergenerational café was developed to provide a learning opportunity for older people and student nurses to meet as equals and connect socially in a protected place and time. This paper reports on older people's views of their participation in an online intergenerational café. Methods: Ethical approval was granted for this survey design research. Older people living in the community (n=49) participated in online intergenerational cafés with student nurses. Following the online café, participants were invited to voluntarily participate in the study through completion of an anonymous online survey. Consent was indicated through the return of the survey questionnaire. All agreed to complete the survey. Likert scale quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistical analysis (SPSS, version 21). Responses to the open-ended questions were thematically analysed. Findings: The cafés supported intergenerational learning, and participants felt comfortable participating. Participants discovered some but not all key points of interest about students. In many ways, they were quite similar to students. Participants felt students would be respectful, empathetic and advocate for them in a care situation. Many agreed that the cafés were well organised, but some would have liked more clarity on the discussion topics. Conclusions: This café initiative has merit as it helped reduce barriers and facilitated intergenerational learning. Implications for Practice: Participation in Intergenerational cafés can help reduce barriers by faciliating understanding and mutual respect . They can provide a forum for discussion on nursing care expectations.

Prevalence of marijuana use does not differentially increase among youth after states pass medical marijuana laws: Commentary on Stolzenberg et al. (2015) and reanalysis of US National Survey on Drug Use in Households data 2002–2011

description: There is considerable interest in the effects of medical marijuana laws (MML) on marijuana use in the USA, particularly among youth. The article by Stolzenberg et al. (2015) “The effect of medical cannabis laws on juvenile cannabis use” concludes that “implementation of medical cannabis laws increase juvenile cannabis use”. This result is opposite to the findings of other studies that analysed the same US National Survey on Drug Use in Households data as well as opposite to studies analysing other national data which show no increase or even a decrease in youth marijuana use after the passage of MML. We provide a replication of the Stolzenberg et al. results and demonstrate how the comparison they are making is actually driven by differences between states with and without MML rather than being driven by pre and post-MML changes within states. We show that Stolzenberg et al. do not properly control for the fact that states that pass MML during 2002–2011 tend to already have higher past-month marijuana use before passing the MML in the first place. We further show that when within-state changes are properly considered and pre-MML prevalence is properly controlled, there is no evidence of a differential increase in past-month marijuana use in youth that can be attributed to state MML.

description: The practice of rendering inter-title cards more decorative and expressive by means of creative typography, ornate borders or other types of illustrative artwork was first picked up by the Swedish film industry around 1919, a few years after it had become established in Hollywood. Swedish audiences were already familiar with so-called “art titles” from imported American films, and the incorporation of this feature into domestic productions partly answered more general calls for Swedish cinema to reinvent itself according to international standards. Furthermore, as had previously been the case across the Atlantic, the emergence of this practice followed debates about the artistic value and usefulness of title cards. Claire Dupré la Tour has argued that art titles along with the success of the “Loos-style” title writing—a reference to the inventive writer Anita Loos—granted the inter-title a more “privileged status vis-à-vis the image” and helped popularize the idea that inter-titles could make a significant contribution to a film’s success. This is as true for the Swedish context as for the American (329).

description: We consider the worldsheet boundary scattering and the corresponding boundary algebras for the Z=0 giant graviton and the Z=0 D7-brane in the AdS/CFT correspondence. We consider two approaches to the boundary scattering, the usual one governed by the (generalized) twisted Yangians and the q-deformed model of these boundaries governed by the quantum affine coideal subalgebras. We show that the q-deformed approach leads to boundary algebras that are of a more compact form than the corresponding twisted Yangians, and thus are favourable to use for explicit calculations. We obtain the q-deformed reflection matrices for both boundaries which in the q->1 limit specialize to the ones obtained using twisted Yangians.

description: Background: Little is known about drug use patterns among people living with HIV in comparison to an uninfected group in the general population. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between legal and illegal drug use and HIV infection in a nationally representative sample of adults in the United States. Methods: Public use data files (2005–2014) from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) were used. Respondents were asked whether a medical professional had ever told them that they had HIV/AIDS. Ever (lifetime), past-year, and past month use of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, and nonmedical use of psychotherapeutics was assessed. Logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) of the relationship between drug use and HIV infection, adjusting for demographics. Results: Of 377,787 respondents age 18 and older, 548 (0.19%) were categorized as HIV-infected. Ever use of cigarettes, tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, and psychotherapeutics was higher in HIV-infected individuals compared to HIV-uninfected individuals after adjustment for sex, age, race/ethnicity, education, total family income, and marital status. Past year and past month use was also higher for HIV-infected individuals for all substances aside from alcohol. Conclusions: In a nationally representative sample, there are higher levels of drug use and DSM-IV dependence among the HIV-infected population compared to the HIV-uninfected population. This is of concern because drug use and dependence can impede engagement in HIV care and adherence to antiretroviral therapy.

description: Frederica Maas first contacted the Women Film Pioneers Project in the late 1990s. She had just completed her autobiography, The Shocking Miss Pilgrim: A Writer in Early Hollywood, which chronicles the vicissitudes of her career from the silent period into the sound era. In the course of a remarkably frank narrative, she offers various explanations for her professional disappointments. These include bad luck, bad decisions, and bad timing; however, it is finally the assignment of screen credits that had the most lasting impact. Maas tells us that “writers in those days had little redress. The Writers Guild was new and not powerful… [T]he last writer to be hired to do a re-write got the credit… [I]t wasn’t right and it wasn’t fair, but that was how Hollywood operated” (67).

REMARKS. — Trophonopsis polycyma was recorded previously by Houart (1985: 246) from Mayotte and Madagascar in the southwestern Indian Ocean. However, we have now found that there are a small number of consistent differences between the Fijian and Indian Ocean specimens, which has led to a reexamination of the entire material, and it is concluded that the Indian Ocean specimens represent a distinct, unnamed species with more numerous axial lamellae, a more globose last teleoconch whorl and more obvious spiral sculpture. Trophonopsis polycyma was not previously recorded from the Fiji archipelago.

description: In risk management, often the probability must be estimated that a random vector falls into an extreme failure set. In the framework of bivariate extreme value theory, we construct an estimator for such failure probabilities and analyze its asymptotic properties under natural conditions. It turns out that the estimation error is mainly determined by the accuracy of the statistical analysis of the marginal distributions if the extreme value approximation to the dependence structure is at least as accurate as the generalized Pareto approximation to the marginal distributions. Moreover, we establish confidence intervals and briefly discuss generalizations to higher dimensions and issues arising in practical applications as well.

Construction real time information and communication system for safety
Creators: name: Aguilar, Gustavo Enrique
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Despite stronger regulations for health and safety implemented throughout the years, the construction industry (CI) remains one of the most hazardous industries. Just in British Columbia, an average of 16,000 workers suffer from work related injuries and diseases on a yearly basis. An average of 33 workers die yearly for the same reason. Current health and safety (H&S) information made available by regulating bodies may not provide an accurate picture of the hazards and key focus areas in the CI. As a consequence, construction stakeholders do not necessarily rely on published data for decision making, training, and H&S management of their construction projects. This thesis describes a research project which aimed to develop and test a web-based communication and information system called the construction real-time information and communication system for safety (C-RTICS²). Information sent from multiple construction projects is gathered in a centralized database where real time safety indicators can be obtained for projects and for project types (e.g., Commercial, Industrial, Residential, and Transportation). A preliminary version of the proposed system was developed and tested in a one on one session with seven industry professionals with experiences in the construction industry ranging from 1 year to more than 25 years. 43% of participants considered that implementing C-RTICS² would “definitely” improve safety in their projects, while 57% considered it as “probably”. The on-the-spot training capabilities provided by the proposed system would be a definite advantage of the C-RTICS² system. Informed safety oriented decision making can be accomplished with the use of the proposed system. Furthermore, industry-wide H&S information sharing can lead to a positive change to the current safety status of the CI. C-RTICS² can be the starting point for a safer CI.

description: We study the entanglement of two disjoint blocks in spin-1/2 chains obtained by merging solvable models, such as XX and quantum Ising models. We focus on the universal quantities that can be extracted from the Rényi entropies S_α. The most important information is encoded in some functions denoted by F_α. We compute F_2 and we show that F_α-1 and F_{v.N.}, corresponding to the von Neumann entropy, can be negative, in contrast to what observed in all models examined so far. An exact relation between the entanglement of disjoint subsystems in the XX model and that in a chain embodying two quantum Ising models is a by-product of our investigations.

description: This document presents the Portuguese translation of the GenderMag Facet Survey, originally published at GenderMag.

The translation process followed a rigorous methodology: the three authors of this document conducted a forward translation, which was then independently back-translated by three other translators who were unaware of the questionnaire’s intended concepts and measures.

Future steps to enhance the translation process include conducting a preliminary pilot test and assessing the reliability of the instrument by calculating Cronbach's Alpha to evaluate the internal consistency of the facets.

description: Blanche MacIntosh is a familiar name thanks to her adaptation of Helen Mather’s novel Comin’ Thro’ the Rye (1923) for Cecil Hepworth, a film often discussed as a key example of British silent cinema. The film though tends to be viewed as primarily Hepworth’s work, leaving MacIntosh’s contribution unexplored. Yet from 1912 until 1924 Blanche MacIntosh wrote twenty-eight films for Hepworth, and for the latter part of this period she was his chief scenario writer. When and why she assumed this role is one of the many mysteries about her life and her industry role.

description: We introduce a novel approach for high-dimensional regression with theoretical guarantees. The new procedure overcomes the challenge of tuning parameter selection of Lasso and possesses several appealing properties. It uses an easily simulated tuning parameter that automatically adapts to both the unknown random error distribution and the correlation structure of the design matrix. It is robust with substantial efficiency gain for heavy-tailed random errors while maintaining high efficiency for normal random errors. Comparing with other alternative robust regression procedures, it also enjoys the property of being equivariant when the response variable undergoes a scale transformation. Computationally, it can be efficiently solved via linear programming. Theoretically, under weak conditions on the random error distribution, we establish a finite-sample error bound with a near-oracle rate for the new estimator with the simulated tuning parameter. Our results make useful contributions to mending the gap between the practice and theory of Lasso and its variants. We also prove that further improvement in efficiency can be achieved by a second-stage enhancement with some light tuning. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods often outperform cross-validated Lasso in various settings.

description: Using a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model that includes the implementation of deformed Uranium nuclei, we have studied the centrality dependence of the charged particle multiplicity, , eccentricity (e2), triangularity (e3), their fluctuations, elliptic flow (v2) and triangular flow (v3) for different configurations of U+U collisions at midrapidity for \sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV. The results are compared to the corresponding observations from Au+Au collisions. We find that for the U+U collisions the dNch/dηat midrapidity is enhanced by about 15-40% depending on the collision and model configuration chosen, compared to Au+Au collisions. The tip-to-tip collisions leads to the largest values of Nch,transverse energy (ET) and . The and its fluctuation shows a rich centrality dependence, whereas not much variations are observed for and its fluctuations. The U+U side-on-side collision configuration provides maximum values of and minimum values of eccentricity fluctuations, whereas for peripheral collisions and mid-central collisions minimum values of and maximum value of eccentricity fluctuations are observed for body-to-body configuration and the tip-to-tip configuration has minimum value of and maximum value of eccentricity fluctuations for central collisions. The calculated v2 closely correlates with the eccentricity in the model. It is smallest for the body-to-body configuration in peripheral and mid-central collisions while it is minimum for tip-to-tip configuration in central collisions. For peripheral collisions the v2 in U+U can be about 40% larger than in Au+Au whereas for central collisions it can be a factor 2 higher depending on the collision configuration. It is also observed that the v3(pT) is higher for tip-to-tip and body-to-body configurations compared to other systems for the collision centrality studied.

description: We report magnetic, dielectric and magnetodielectric responses of pure monoclinic bulk phase of partially-disordered La2NiMnO6, exhibiting a spectrum of unusual properties and establish that this system intrinsically is a true multiglass with a large magnetodielectric coupling (8-20%) over a wide range of temperatures (150 - 300 K). Specifically, our results establish a unique way to obtain colossal magnetodielectricity, independent of any striction effects, by engineering the asymmetric hopping contribution to the dielectric constant via the tuning of the relative spin orientations between neighboring magnetic ions in a transition metal oxide system. We discuss the role of anti-site (Ni-Mn) disorder in emergence of these unusual properties.

Patterns and consequences of dispersal for Arctic Char (Pisces: Salvelinus alpinus) from the Canadian Arctic
Creators: name: Moore, Jean-Sébastien
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Dispersal can have a multitude of ecological and evolutionary consequences that can be either positive or negative for population fitness and persistence. In this thesis, I describe patterns of dispersal in Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus), and I explored some of its consequences. I first examined the consequences of post-glacial dispersal for the distribution of genetic variation across the Canadian range of the species. MtDNA sequences and microsatellite markers provided evidence that the populations of Arctic Char currently inhabiting the Arctic Archipelago probably recolonized from a small glacial refugium, most likely located in ice-free areas of the Archipelago itself. I also presented evidence that two glacial lineages of Char (an Arctic lineage and an Atlantic lineage) probably hybridized post-glacially in the eastern Arctic. Finally, the importance of contemporary dispersal in redistributing genetic variation was illustrated by the fact that anadromous populations have greater within-population genetic diversity, and are less genetically differentiated, than landlocked populations. Second, I used a genetic assignment approach to study patterns of dispersal among populations distributed around Cumberland Sound, Nunavut. Estimates of dispersal rates varied extensively depending on the analysis method used, but all were relatively high compared to other salmonid species. I also found evidence that overwintering individuals have a greater propensity to disperse to non-natal habitats than individuals destined to spawn that year. The consequences of this behaviour for local adaptation among populations was examined using a population genetic model parameterized with estimates of gene flow obtained from microsatellite data. Third, I tested alternative hypotheses for the co-existence of sympatric migratory ecotypes in three lakes of southeast Baffin Island. Microsatellite data showed that the resident and anadromous components of the population are not genetically differentiated, suggesting that migratory behavior is not a genetically fixed trait. Together, the three parts of my thesis provide a general understanding of the patterns and consequences of dispersal for Arctic Char. Since dispersal will be crucial for the response of Arctic Char to environmental change, I conclude by discussing how my work can serve as a foundation for future work on the role of dispersal in adaptation to a changing Arctic.
