Zero-dimensional properties of self-assembled islands.
Creators: name: Raymond, Sylvain.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Physics, Condensed Matter.

description: The steady state and dynamic properties of semiconductor self-assembled island structures made from III-V materials are studied by photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence. The islands layer contains a number of hemispherical caps with a low-gap material inside the cap and a high-gap material outside. The experiments performed are aimed at probing the nature of the bound states inside the islands, looking specifically at the dimensionality of these islands through the mapping of the density of states. First, a system consisting of an $\rm Al\sb{0.45}In\sb{0.55}As$ layer imbedded in an $\rm Al\sb{0.35}Ga\sb{0.65}As$ matrix emitting in the visible (red) is used to directly probe the properties of "individual" islands and compare them with different systems: two-dimensional (quantum well), one-dimensional (quantum wire) and zero-dimensional (quantum dot). The observed temperature independent linewidth and lifetimes are attributed to quantum dot properties. Next, the strong emission obtained under resonant excitation conditions in this system is used to study the influence of phonons on the relaxation processes in zero-dimensional semiconductor heterostructure systems. The other material system studied consists of a single $\rm In\sb{0.5}Ga\sb{0.5}As$ self-assembled layer imbedded in GaAs emitting in the infra-red. A model based on a quantum well with in-plane parabolic confinement is developed and compared with experimental results. Magneto-photoluminescence measurements reveal the symmetry of the electronic shell structure which is found to be consistent with the model developed, thus confirming the zero-dimensional nature of the carrier confinement. The presence of excited states is then exploited by studying the inter-sublevel dynamics of carriers in quantum dots. Despite the discreteness of the density of states, fast inter-sublevel dynamics is observed and all experimental observations are found to be consistent with state-filling dynamics for which the inter-sublevel relaxation is impeded only when lower energy levels are filled.

Interrelationships between gill morphology and acid-base regulation in freshwater fish.
Creators: name: Goss, Gregory Gerard.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Biology, Zoology.

description: This thesis examines the branchial mechanisms utilized by freshwater fish to regulate internal acid-base status and presents a model to explain the underlying basis of the compensatory processes. Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, brown bullhead, Ictalurus nebulosus, and American eels, Anguilla rostrata, were examined under a variety of experimental treatments which induced both respiratory (hyperoxia, hypercapnia) and metabolic (post-hyperoxia, post-hypercapnia, HCl infusion, NaHCO$\sb3$ infusion) acid-base disturbances. Acid-base-regulation was achieved by appropriate adjustments of Na$\sp+$ and Cl$\sp-$ net fluxes across the gills which, in turn, were accomplished by variable contributions of three different branchial mechanisms; (i) morphological adjustments to the gill epithelium, (ii) changes in internal (H$\sp+,$ HCO$\sb3\sp-)$ and external (Na$\sp+,$ HCO$\sb3\sp-)$ substrate availability, and (iii) differential changes in Na$\sp+$ versus Cl$\sp-$ net fluxes through regulation of Cl$\sp-$ efflux. This thesis determined the variable contribution of each of these mechanisms to overall compensation of acid-base disturbances. In brown bullhead and trout, respiratory acidosis caused a reduction in chloride cell (CC) surface area whereas alkalosis was associated with increases in CC surface area. Increases in the density of microvilli displayed on the external surface of the PVC coupled with ultrastructural modifications during hypercapnic acidosis were associated with increases in Na$\sp+$ uptake $\rm(J\sb{in}\sp{Na+}).$ In addition to the effect that alterations in CC surface area have on the rate of Cl$\sp-$/HCO$\sb3\sp-$ exchange $\rm(J\sb{in}\sp{Cl-}),$ it was demonstrated that changes in the concentration of the internal counter-ion (HCO$\sb3\sp-)$ may alter the rates of acid-base compensation. When (HCO$\sb3\sp-$) is elevated, $\rm J\sb{max}\sp{Cl-}$ is elevated thereby increasing the capacity to excrete HCO$\sb3\sp-$ via the Cl$\sp-$/HCO$\sb3\sp-$ exchanger over and above those determined by CC morphology. This is an important mechanism to increase the rate of acid-base compensation during metabolic alkalosis. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Improving and standardizing concussion education and care : a Canadian experience
Creators: name: Damji, Faraz
name: Babul, Shelina
Publisher: name: Future Science Group.
Year: 2021

description: Concussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury, is an acute urgent public health issue that has the potential for serious long-term consequences if not recognized immediately. It is a complex injury affecting the brain both structurally and functionally as a result of neurological deficits that occur when the brain is jostled inside the skull. This particular injury is unique in that no two concussions are alike, as each patient responds differently. One may take a significant hit and recover uneventfully in days, while another may take a seemingly minor hit and yet still be recovering months later. There are no diagnostic tools currently available to assess a concussion and, as a result, diagnosis is not an exact science. Every concussion needs to be treated on a case-by-case basis, usually taking into consideration previous history, circumstance of injury and presenting signs and symptoms.
Effects of natural antioxidant (vitamin E) on protein kinase C activity in cultured smooth muscle cells.
Creators: name: Ho, Chuong Thanh.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: Since $\alpha$-tocopherol, the active form of vitamin E, is an integral component of plasma membranes, the possibility that it may affect the activity of membrane-associated enzymes such as protein kinase C (PKC) is being investigated by a number of laboratories. In the present study, we examined the effects of vitamin E and another antioxidant, vitamin C, on PKC activity in A10 cells, an established smooth muscle cell line. Because several lines of evidence have suggested a possible involvement of oxygen free radicals in the activation of PKC, we attempted to elucidate the mechanism(s) by which vitamin E can influence PKC activity. To study the incorporation of vitamin E into A10 smooth muscle cells, cells have been treated with vitamin E-enriched medium for various times and at different concentrations; the results showed that cellular incorporation of vitamin E was increased in a time and dose-dependent manner. The incorporation of vitamin E did not show any effect on A10 cell number whereas it significantly diminished PKC activity in the membrane fraction. To investigate whether this decrease in membrane PKC activity was due to the effect of vitamin E on PKC translocation from cytosol to membrane, western immunoblotting was performed. The result showed that vitamin E treatment did not affect PKC translocation in our system.

title: Soldiers, Shamans, and Supermarket Brands: A Criminological Investigation into Psychedelic Drug Use
Creators: name: Alexander, Richard
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: The early 21st century has brought forth a renewed scientific interest in the clinical application of psychedelic drugs. As this so called 'psychedelic renaissance' continues to generate a wealth of psychotherapeutic research and scholarship, scientific discussions around the drugs remain fixated upon medical specifics and neurobiological contexts. This one dimensional discourse contributes to an epistemological closure as psychedelics are continuously framed within the rigid medicalized jargon of clinically regulated research. In contrast, the small scale, clinical research population that has participated in 'renaissance' studies pales in comparison to the number of users ingesting psychedelic drugs outside of regulated clinical settings. Acknowledging the narrow scope of the dominate psychotherapeutic discourse this thesis expands the scientific discussion by identifying and examining three prominent contexts of unregulated, non-clinical psychedelic drug use: 1) the individual psychedelic drug use of military veterans; 2) the touristic consumption of ayahuasca 'shamanism' in Amazonian Peru; and 3) the operation of psychedelic retreat companies within the 'spiritual supermarket' realm. Using qualitative ethnographic methods across three distinct case studies corresponding to these contexts, this thesis demonstrates how psychedelic drug use constitutes a narrative vehicle for identity performance, neo-colonialism, New Age salvation, and corporate commodification. Future research should therefore move beyond the existing confines of clinical, psychotherapeutic discourse to develop critical socio-cultural (and criminological) understandings of the future societal trajectory of psychedelic drugs and their use.
Labor market mobility and the early-career outcomes of immigrant men
Creators: name: Javdani, Mohsen

Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2018

description: We examine the role of between- and within-firm mobility in the early-career outcomes of immigrant men. Among Canadian workers with less than 10 years of potential experience, we find that visible minority immigrants were significantly less likely to have been promoted with their initial employers than similar white natives but were just as likely to have moved to new employers over the course of a year between interviews. White immigrants, on the other hand, were just as likely to be promoted as white natives but much more likely to move to new employers—suggesting that they enjoyed more overall mobility than white natives and other immigrants. We present tentative evidence linking these mobility patterns to differences in wage growth and occupational change between immigrants and natives. Overall, our findings suggest that the between- and within-firm mobility of white immigrants may play an important role in their relative economic success in Canada, while adding to growing evidence that visible minority immigrants experience frictions in the labor market that hinder their mobility and thus their economic prospects.

Mit der Gleichsetzung des Vollmonds mit dem Neumond in quantitativer Hinsicht „sprengten“ letztere die formallogischen Korsagen. Wir diskutieren die einschlägigen Fundstücke aus Krapina (Kroatien, 130.000 Jahre), Les Pradelles (Frankreich, 60.000) und der Einhornhöhle (Deutschland, 51.000). Bei letzterem Fund wird gefragt, ob er vom Neandertaler oder vom Homo sapiens stammt. Ein Höhepunkt und Abschluss liegt mit der Venus vom Hohle Fels vor (40.000 Jahre), welche die Codes des Homo sapiens und der Neandertaler in sich vereinigt.
description: We review the statements of the Neanderthals on the phases of the Moon for its formal logical stringency. This shows, that the earlier Neanderthals made logical errors which were corrected by their successors. With their equation of Full Moon and New Moon, the latter revolutionized formal logic corsages. In this respect we discuss the relevant finds from Krapina (Croatia, 130.000 years), Les Pradelles (France, 60.000) and from unicorn cave (Germany, 51.000). With regard to the latter fund, it is asked whether it originates from the Neanderthals or Homo sapiens. A highlight is present with the Venus from Hohlefels (40.000 years), which unites the codes of Homo sapiens and the Neandertals in itself.
An advanced optimal approach for high voltage AC bushing design

Year: 2024

description: This paper proposes a new and advanced methodology for finding the optimum electrical design of high voltage ac capacitive graded bushings using an improved genetic algorithm approach as an effective meta-heuristic method. A case study has been conducted on a 145 kV oil impregnated paper (OIP) bushing and the IEC 60137 tests have been performed to evaluate its performance. Condenser-bushings contain concentric conductive foils which are isolated from each other. The partial capacitances between conducting cylinders can be modified by adjusting the number, diameter, place and length of these cylinders as well as the thickness of insulating material between foils. As a result, the voltage drop and also the electrical stress in the core and along the surface will change. This paper finds optimal value of bushing design parameters to achieve well-distributed electric stress with the lowest possible maximum value and also a constant voltage drop for different layers by using an improved genetic algorithm optimization method subject to practical and technological constrains. The proposed method of this research work has been applied to a 145 kV OIP bushing. The performance of optimal designed 145 kV OIP bushing under IEC 60137 tests is very promising.

description: In its review of international law, court decisions and federal legislation and policy, this paper confirms that the Crown is not meeting international standards of respect for the connection between Indigenous peoples and the land, is consistently in breach of the Constitution and recommendations from the Canadian Courts to reconcile the rights of Indigenous peoples with the sovereignty of the Crown, excludes First Nation peoples from environmental decision making, and rejects a fundamental principle of most First Nation peoples' traditional cultures; the interconnectedness of all things. This attack on First Nation peoples' inherent rights to self-determination and self-government undermines their capacity to sustain their traditional cultures, which in turn frustrates the preservation of biological diversity. This paper recommends the inclusion of First Nation governments, as equals to the Crown, in environmental governance, thereby facilitating the exercise of traditional laws of respect for the land as a means to help sustain biological diversity.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Nursing.

description: Purpose. To determine the relationship between maternal confidence, maternal characteristics and experiences with nursing support during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. Additionally, to describe and compare the maternity experiences of women with low and high confidence levels. Results. Multiparas were significantly more confident in the postpartum period than primiparas (p < 0.0001), although confidence increased over time for primiparas (p < 0.0001) and decreased over time for multiparas (p < 0.0005). Mothers who spoke a language other than English or French were significantly less confident caring for themselves at home (p < 0.0005) and caring for their baby at home (p < 0.0001). Mothers' rating of breastfeeding support in-hospital was significantly positively correlated with confidence breastfeeding upon discharge (p < 0.0001). Significant negative correlations were found between number of community services received or sought-out and all confidence measures (p ≤ 0.001). Women indicated that they would have liked more support from nurses for breastfeeding, infant and self-care. Women with low confidence commented more often on the need for teaching and education in the postpartum period when compared to women with high confidence. Both women with low and high confidence reported lack of nursing support for breastfeeding, although women with low confidence perceived the problem to be related to conflicting nursing advice, and women with high confidence perceived the problem to be related to pressure from nursing staff to breastfeed.

description: Background The diagnosis of hip pain after total hip replacement (THR) represents a highly challenging question that is of increasing concern to orthopedic surgeons. This retrospective study assesses bone scintigraphy with Hybrid SPECT/CT for the diagnosis of painful THR in a selected cohort of patients. Methods Bone SPECT/CT datasets of 23 patients (mean age 68.9 years) with a painful hip after THR were evaluated. Selection of the patients required an inconclusive radiograph, normal serum levels of inflammatory parameters (CRP and ESR) or a negative aspiration of the hip joint prior to the examination. The standard of reference was established by an interdisciplinary adjudication-panel using all imaging data and clinical follow-up data (>12 month). Pathological and physiological uptake patterns were defined and applied. Results The cause of pain in this study group could be determined in 18 out of 23 cases. Reasons were aseptic loosening (n = 5), spine-related (n = 5), heterotopic ossification (n = 5), neuronal (n = 1), septic loosening (n = 1) and periprosthetic stress fracture (n = 1). In (n = 5) cases the cause of hip pain could not be identified. SPECT/CT imaging correctly identified the cause of pain in (n = 13) cases, in which the integrated CT-information led to the correct diagnosis in (n = 4) cases, mainly through superior anatomic correlation. Loosening was correctly assessed in all cases with a definite diagnosis. Conclusions SPECT/CT of THA reliably detects or rules out loosening and provides valuable information about heterotopic ossifications. Furthermore differential diagnoses may be detected with a whole-body scan and mechanical or osseous failure is covered by CT- imaging. SPECT/CT holds great potential for imaging-based assessment of painful prostheses.

description: The prevalence of disabling musculoskeletal conditions in children underscores the importance of measuring function. The objectives for the current study were: (1) to develop an evaluative measure assessing function in adolescents with lower extremity orthopedic conditions and; (2) to provide a preliminary assessment of the validity, reliability and measurement properties of the newly developed scale. The Lower Extremity Activity Limitations Scale (LEALS) incorporates a 17-item self-report questionnaire and a 10-item functional performance test. Excessive internal consistency was established for both subscales of the LEALS. The construct validity of the LEALS was supported by its convergent validity with other measures of the same construct. Lastly, the LEALS self report scale was found to be more sensitive to change then the Activities Scale for Kids. Preliminary assessments suggest that the LEALS is a valid, reliable and responsive outcome measure assessing lower-extremity function in adolescents.

description: The contributions to this volume argue that Australian and New Zealand immigration, refugee and citizenship policies, and public debates about these policies, are marked by the absence of an informed assessment of past policies and practices. Glenn Nicholls, for example, suggests that those rewriting Australia's deportation policies since 1989 have ignored the knowledge built up by those administering past policies, while Amy Nethery shows that Australian debates about asylum-seeker policies refer to German concentration camps rather than to the local institutional predecessors of Port Hedland, Woomera and Baxter immigration detention centres.

description: Miniaturized ion trap arrays with many trap segments present a promising architecture for scalable quantum information processing. The miniaturization of segmented linear Paul traps allows partitioning the microtrap into different storage and processing zones. The individual position control of many ions—each of them carrying qubit information in its long-lived electronic levels—by the external trap control voltages is important for the implementation of next generation large-scale quantum algorithms. We present a novel scalable microchip multi-segmented ion trap with two different adjacent zones, one for the storage and another dedicated to the processing of quantum information using single ions and linear ion crystals. A pair of radio-frequency-driven electrodes and 62 independently controlled dc electrodes allows shuttling of single ions or linear ion crystals with numerically designed axial potentials at axial and radial trap frequencies of a few megahertz. We characterize and optimize the microtrap using sideband spectroscopy on the narrow S1/2↔D5/2 qubit transition of the 40Ca+ ion, and demonstrate coherent single-qubit Rabi rotations and optical cooling methods. We determine the heating rate using sideband cooling measurements to the vibrational ground state, which is necessary for subsequent two-qubit quantum logic operations. The applicability for scalable quantum information processing is proved.

description: Due to their long coherence times, nuclear spins have gained considerable attention as physical qubits. Two-qubit gates between nuclear spins of distinct resonance frequencies can be mediated by electron spins, usually employing a sequence of electron-nuclear gates. Here we present a different approach inspired by, but not limited to, NV centers in diamond and discuss possible applications. To this end we generalize external electron spin control sequences for nuclear spin initialization and hyperpolarization to achieve the simultaneous control of distinct nuclear spins via an electron spin. This approach results in efficient entangling gates that, compared to standard techniques, reduce the gate time by more than 50% when the gate time is limited by off-resonant coupling to other spins and by up to 22% when the gate time is limited by small electron-nuclear coupling.

description: Abstract Objectives Among women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), histotype is one of the major prognostic factors. However, few data are available on histotype- specific survival and mortality estimates among these patients. We therefore examined survival and causes of death among women with EOC by histotype. Methods A population- based cohort including all ovarian cancer patients diagnosed in British Columbia (BC) between 1990 and 2014 was built using population-based administrative datasets. We compared causes of death within histotypes, by age at diagnosis, BRCA status, and time since diagnosis. Results A total of 6975 women were identified as having been diagnosed with EOC between 1990 and 2014 in BC. The most common cause of death among these women was ovarian cancer until 10 years post diagnosis when other causes surpassed ovarian cancer as the leading cause of death. Among women with serous EOCs, ovarian cancer was the leading cause of death 12 years after diagnosis, whereas ovarian cancer was the leading cause of death for 8 years among women with non- serous EOCs. Among women with serous EOCs, ovarian cancer was the leading cause of death for 12 years among younger women (< 60 years of age) compared to 8 years among women > = 60 years of age, and those with BRCA mutations were more likely to die from ovarian cancer than those without a BRCA mutation. Conclusions Within 10 years from diagnosis, ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among women diagnosed with EOC.
The role of platelet activating factor in tumour progression and neurodegeneration.

description: Tumourigenesis is the result of increased cell number. Progressive neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by decreased cell number. These illnesses emphasize the life-threatening consequences of disrupting the delicate balance between cell growth, cell differentiation, and cell death. Exposure to chronic inflammation is a recognized risk factor for a variety of human cancers and progressive neurodegenerative diseases. This thesis represents an attempt to determine whether one endogenous proinflammatory agent, platelet activating factor (PAF), may participate in tumourigenesis and/or neurodegeneration. Data are presented to indicate that PAF is capable of inducing sustained alterations in both the rate of cell growth and the rate of cell death in non-inflammatory cells. This ability can be characterized as follows: (1) Brief stimulation (<1 hr) of rodent and human fibroblasts and epithelial cells cultured in vitro induced PAF receptor activation, PKC activity, phosphorylation of proteins on tyrosine residues, oxyradical production, and de novo gene expression of the proto-oncogene c-fos and the active cell death (ACD)-related gene clusterin. (2) Transient stimulation (1-6 hr) elicited long-term growth enhancement (60-80 days) characterized by increased focus formation, saturation density, autonomous cell growth, and AI growth in the absence of further ligand exposure. Cell proliferation was, apparently, mediated by increases in intracellular PAF concentrations triggering the synthesis and release of mitogenic factors. Growth enhancement was accompanied by induction of clusterin and urokinase plasminogen activator gene expression. (3) Prolonged exposure (72 hr) to PAF induced ACD when cells were cultured in the absence of excess growth factors. ACD was determined by changes in nuclear and cytoplasmic morphology and by DNA analysis. (4) The kinetics of these responses to PAF could be altered by introduction of an activated ras oncogene into cells. Transient exposure to PAF under suboptimal growth conditions was sufficient to elicit a defined period of cell loss in ras-transformed fibroblasts followed by growth enhancement in surviving cells. (5) Increased PAFR expression was associated with chronic neurodegenerative lesions and cell death in vivo using a kainic acid model of myoclonic epilepsy. In summary, PAF, was shown to be capable of disrupting the delicate balance between cell growth and cell death. In this manner, PAF may contribute to tumour progression and progressive neurodegenerative disorders.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Equivalent circuits are useful for simplified representation and deeper understanding of electrical devices. In this work a thermoelectric system is represented by equivalent circuits. The first part of work is introductory. It contains the definitions and derivations of the various thermoelectric effects. A detailed description of the construction and the test results of an ideal thermoelectric cooler that had been built are given in the second part. The derivation of the equivalent circuit of a thermoelectric system is given in the last part. It is based on a modified version of Onsager's Reciprocal Relations. The conditions under which the modified relations and the equivalent circuit hold are stated and explained. From the basic equivalent circuit more circuits are derived, these are two terminal-pair active networks of either the pi or T form. A comparison of the results given in the last two parts and other comments conclude the work.

description: Background About one third of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) also have chronic hepatitis due to hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV therapy with simeprevir, pegylated interferon alfa (PegIFNα) and ribavirin (RBV) have been shown to be superior to PegIFNα + RBV alone in non-HIV patients, but no randomized trials in patients with HCV genotype 1 (HCV-1) / HIV coinfection are available. Methods This was a historical comparison of study C212 (simeprevir + PegIFNα-2a + RBV in patients with HCV-1/HIV coinfection) with studies in which HCV-1/HIV coinfected patients were treated with PegIFNα-2a + RBV alone. A systematic literature search was performed to identify eligible studies. Efficacy and safety results of PegIFNα-2a + RBV studies were combined in random- and fixed-effects inverse-variance weighted meta-analyses of proportions using the Freeman-Tukey double arcsin transformation method, and compared with the results of study C212. Results The literature search revealed a total of 2392 records, with 206 articles selected for full-text review. Finally, 11 relevant articles reporting on 12 relevant study groups were included. Results on sustained virologic response 24 weeks after end of treatment (SVR24) were available from all 12 study groups. Pooled SVR24 for PegIFNα-2a + RBV from the random-effects meta- analysis was 28.2 % (95 % CI 23.8 % to 32.9 %). The comparison between study C212 (SVR24 = 72.6 %; 95 % CI 63.1 % to 80.9 %) revealed substantial superiority of simeprevir + PegIFNα-2a + RBV compared to PegIFNα-2a + RBV alone, with an absolute risk difference of 45 % (95 % CI 34 to 55). This finding was robust in a sensitivity analysis that only included historical studies with a planned treatment duration of at least 48 weeks and the same RBV dose as in study C212. No increases in the frequency of important adverse event categories including anemia were identified, but these analyses were limited by the low number of studies. Conclusion This historical comparison provides first systematic evidence for the superiority of simeprevir + PegIFNα-2a + RBV compared to PegIFNα-2a + RBV in patients with HCV-1 / HIV coinfection. Given the limitations of the historical comparison for safety endpoints, additional data on the comparative safety of simeprevir in patients with HCV-1 / HIV coinfection would be desirable.

The Four Pillars of UTN:  Embodying the Seer's Life in Unified Theistic Naturalism
Creators: name: Patrick Carodine
Publisher: name: Unified Theistic Naturalism
Year: 2025

description: This white paper defines the Four Pillars of Unified Theistic Naturalism (UTN), a spiritual framework grounded not in belief but in direct communion with the Divine. These four pillars—Truth, Observation, Perfect Action, and Movement—are not concepts to study or behaviors to adopt. They are the living structures of a life undisturbed by oscillation, untouched by distortion, and rooted in presence.

UTN does not promote teachings to be followed or rituals to be performed. It reveals what is already here. Through these pillars, the seer lives in cadence with the divine, not as aspiration, but as daily reality.
Leveraging agricultural total factor productivity growth for productive, sustainable and resilient farming systems

description: Increased global agricultural output since the 1990s has been largely driven by innovations that raised the use efficiency of labor, land, capital and other inputs—referred to as total factor productivity (TFP) growth. Yet, debates over the future of farming still weigh heavily on models of agricultural land use and socioecological tradeoffs along traditional (partial-factor productivity) growth paths of ‘intensification’ or ‘extensification’. Overlooking the role of TFP in the evolution of global agriculture not only obscures the changing drivers of productivity growth but misses vital linkages with agricultural sustainability and farming system resilience. We describe two pathways for growth—technology-based and ecosystem-based—and link these in a heuristic framework that emphasizes sustainability and resilience outcomes in farming systems. Interdisciplinary research is urgently needed to empirically examine the dynamic interplay of TFP growth, farming system sustainability and resilience. Such insights are needed to transform TFP growth as metric into actionable efforts on farms and beyond.

description: The purpose of this review is to explore the parallel roles and interaction of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and oxytocin (OT) in cardiovascular regulation and fluid homeostasis. Their interaction has been recently reported to be relevant during physical and psychological trauma. However, literature reports on H2S in physical trauma and OT in psychological trauma are abundant, whereas available information regarding H2S in psychological trauma and OT in physical trauma is much more limited. This review summarizes recent direct and indirect evidence of the interaction of the two systems and their convergence in downstream nitric oxide-dependent signaling pathways during various types of trauma, in an effort to better understand biological correlates of psychosomatic interdependencies.
