description: Metastatic progression of breast cancer is characterized by mechanical interactions between tumor cells and various microenvironments, including exposure to fluid flow. Complementing genomic and molecular signaling studies with fluid mechanics holds the promise of providing in-depth knowledge into how these interactions affect the ability of tumor cells to undergo metastasis, and identification of novel biomarkers that can potentially facilitate breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this thesis, a bioreactor system was used to expose cultured mammary epithelial and breast cancer cells to fluid shear stress in the physiological range of those experienced in the vascular microenvironment. Genome-wide expression analysis revealed an effect of fluid flow on gene expression patterns and cellular processes involved in metastasis such as EMT, cell migration and adhesion. In addition, TGF-β signaling activity was significantly enriched and several genes belonging to this pathway were overexpressed upon flow exposure. Subsequently, we sought to identify novel flow-responsive biomarkers for breast cancer. For this purpose, bioinformatics and network biology approaches were used to reveal significant enrichment of biological processes involved in metastatic progression. Expression levels of differentially expressed genes were evaluated in clinical expression datasets, and 14 genes were identified as potential biomarkers. Relative expression levels of seven of these biomarkers were quantified in breast cancer patients and healthy volunteers. Five biomarkers passed the threshold for statistical significance and were overexpressed in more than 80% of patients presenting with basal and HER2-enriched breast cancers, which are the most aggressive subtypes of breast cancer. To our knowledge, the studies presented herein are the first of their kind to demonstrate that using an in vitro model to simulate exposure of cells to fluid shear stresses allows for identification of biomarkers for breast cancer. Using this system to study cellular events involved in other types of cancers may lead to new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for metastatic cancer progression.

description: Hypervelocity stars are believed to be ejected out from the Galactic center through dynamical interactions of (binary) stars with the central massive black hole(s). In this letter, we report 13 metal-poor F-type hypervelocity star candidates selected from 370,000 stars of the data release 7 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. With a detailed analysis of the kinematics of these stars, we find that seven of them were likely ejected from the Galactic center (GC) or the Galactic disk, four neither originated from the GC nor the Galactic disk, and the other two were possibly ejected from either the Galactic disk or other regions. Those candidates which unlikely originated from the GC or the Galactic disk, may be explained by other mechanisms, like the tidal disruption of the Milky Way's dwarf galaxies in the Galactic potential, or the gravitational interactions with a massive black hole at the center of M31 or M32.

After deriving the action for the (p,0)-Poincare supergravity as a CS theory for the expansion osp(p|2;R)(2,1) of osp(p|2;R), we find the general (p,q)-Poincare superalgebras and their associated D=3 supergravity actions as CS gauge theories from an expansion of the simple osp(p+q|2,R) superalgebras, namely osp(p+q|2,R)(2,1,2).

description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are two common cystic fibrosis (CF) pathogens, thought to interact within the lung and influence disease progression. This study on interspecies interactions revealed that P. aeruginosa mediates antagonistic interactions with S. aureus. Further analysis was completed to identify the mechanism of negative interactions between an S. aureus CF isolate, C105, and twenty seven P. aeruginosa CF isolates – nine of which were identified as inhibitors. It was demonstrated that an inhibitory factor is secreted by P. aeruginosa; is less than 5 kDa, can induce tobramycin resistance in C105 and reduce hemolytic activity suggesting the formation of small colony variants (SCVs). GC-MS analysis revealed that the primary inhibitory factor was not 4-hydroxy-2n-heptlyquinolone-N-oxide (HQNO) rather inhibition of S. aureus by P. aeruginosa is complex and involves the secretion of multiple factors. This research suggests that P. aeruginosa produces multiple anti-staphylococcal agents that play a paradoxical role as they inhibit growth yet allow for aminoglycoside resistance in S. aureus.

description: We report the results from a detailed spectro-imaging and temporal analysis of an archival XMM-Newton observation of a new intermediate polar XMMU J185330.7-012815. Its X-ray spectrum can be well-described by a multi-temperature thermal plasma model with the K-lines of heavy elements clearly detected. Possible counterparts of XMMU J185330.7-012815 have been identified in optical and UV bands. The low value of the inferred X-ray-to-UV and X-ray-to-optical flux ratios help to safely rule out the possibility as an isolated neutron star. We confirm the X-ray periodicity of ~238 s, but different from the previous preliminary result, we do not find any convincing evidence of phase-shift in this observation. We further investigate its properties through an energy-resolved temporal analysis and find the pulsed fraction monotonically increases with energy.

We consider both spin-boson and rotating wave Hamiltonians, for various numbers of mediating modes (from 1 to 100), and extend our treatment to include finite temperatures. Our results apply to two-level impurities interacting with the same band of a photonic crystal, or to two distant ions interacting with the same set of motional degrees of freedom.

description: Kunst kann sich mir – als Individuum – überraschend gegenwärtig zeigen, doch dies darf meiner Ansicht nach nicht zu dem Fehlschluss führen, dass jedwedes kollektive Tun oder jede Verhandlung darüber obsolet sei, wie manch wenig bildungsaffine oder kontemplativ veranlagte Zeitgenoss/‑in vorschlägt. Wie können die unerwarteten Arten und schwer nachvollziehbaren Linien, in denen eine Arbeit oder eine Situation der Kunst manchmal glücklicherweise wirksam wird, auch in der Kunstvermittlung gegenwärtig bleiben oder, wie Eva Sturm sagt, treffen? Ist es ein Paradox zu glauben, dass eine vorgeplante und gestaltete Situation in der Gruppe so etwas wie ästhetische Erfahrung triggern könne oder können sollte? Der Diskurs der künstlerischen Kunstvermittlung hat zu dieser Frage Expertisen gesammelt und manches ausformuliert, was einer Wiederaufnahme wert sein könnte.

Mein Beitrag widmet sich der Frage, wie man die Gegenwärtigkeit von Kunstsituationen ernst nimmt, ohne ihr aufzusitzen oder sie zu mystifizieren, und versucht damit, die Kunstvermittlung im Sturm’schen Sinne weiterzudenken. Wie können wir Wirkungen und Effekte von Kunst als starkes Movens für die Vermittlung anerkennen, ohne Fragen der Subjektivierung durch Kunst, der individuellen und kollektiven Bedeutungsproduktion und der kulturellen Kontextualisierung auszuschließen?

description: Mycoplasma bovis is emerging as an important pathogen of farmed bison in North America, associated with high morbidity and mortality. The present work aimed to investigate the epidemiology of M. bovis-associated disease in western Canadian farmed bison. A telephone survey determined that 6% of 202 bison producers in western Canada had a laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of M. bovis within the past 5 years. A total of 49 bison producers were interviewed in a 1:2 case-control study. Case herds were more likely than control herds to have a feedlot unit, receive regular visits from rental trailers or trailer from other farms, annually vaccinate bison, and to have lost bison due to fatal respiratory disease in the previous year. In conclusion, the implementation of biosecurity measures, close herd health monitoring, and efforts to minimize stress may be helpful in the control and prevention of M. bovis-associated disease among farmed bison.

description: Global marketing managers are interested in understanding the speed of the new product diffusion process and how the speed has changed in our ever more technologically advanced and global marketplace. Understanding the process allows firms to forecast the expected rate of return on their new products and develop effective marketing strategies. The most recent major study on this topic [Marketing Science 21 (2002) 97--114] investigated new product diffusions in the United States. We expand upon that study in three important ways. (1) Van den Bulte notes that a similar study is needed in the international context, especially in developing countries. Our study covers four new product diffusions across 31 developed and developing nations from 1980--2004. Our sample accounts for about 80% of the global economic output and 60% of the global population, allowing us to examine more general phenomena. (2) His model contains the implicit assumption that the diffusion speed parameter is constant throughout the diffusion life cycle of a product. Recognizing the likely effects on the speed parameter of recent changes in the marketplace, we model the parameter as a semiparametric function, allowing it the flexibility to change over time. (3) We perform a variable selection to determine that the number of internet users and the consumer price index are strongly associated with the speed of diffusion.

description: This case study attempts to analyze and assess the experiences of two colleges, both of which have chosen and used Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as their strategic planning methodology. These institutions are The College of the North Atlantic/Qatar (CNAQ)—in Doha, Qatar—and Northern Essex Community College (NECC)—in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The specific purposes of this study were to collect empirical data as an objective assessment of AI’s overall effectiveness; to isolate and define the recurring themes which seemed to have contributed to the success—or the lack of success—of this planning methodology; to identify other impacts that AI may have had on these two college’s communities and campus cultures; and, to look for factors that could potentially lead to the expanded and sustained us of AI within these different environments. The results of the study indicate that Appreciative Inquiry has been an effective strategic planning process as experienced by these two colleges: 91% of NECC survey respondents and 90% of CNAQ survey respondents (90% overall) felt that the process resulted in meaningful future directions for the colleges. A large majority of participants (85% for NECC, 75% for CNAQ, 79% overall) also responded favorably to the planning process itself: they felt that the process was a good use of their time; that they could see their contributions in the plan; that they learned something new and valuable about their colleagues; that the process helped them feel excited about the future of the college; and, that they had sufficient opportunity to participate. The major themes which seem to have contributed to the success of the methodology included AI’s inclusive and collaborative nature; the positive, strengths-based and solution-focused mind set; and, the energy and enthusiasm created through working collaboratively toward a preferred future. Finally, a model is presented at the conclusion of the study, which attempts to define the most critical factors necessary for the effective utilization of AI—to provide an indication of the expected outcomes of this strategic planning methodology—and to summarize the factors that will hopefully lead to Appreciative Inquiry’s continuing expansion and long-term sustainability.
Examining Fraction Development Through Analysis of Symbolic and Non-Symbolic Magnitude Mental Representations of Whole Numbers and Fractions

description: A plethora of previous research has identified important contributions of early magnitude mental representations of whole numbers to later achievement with arithmetic and other whole number skills (De Smedt et al., 2013). Of relatively little research are the contributions of magnitude mental representations of fractions, especially non-symbolic, to fractions knowledge (Fazio et al., 2014). The current study aimed to fill this gap in knowledge by examining the relationship between symbolic and non-symbolic magnitude mental representations and procedural and conceptual fraction knowledge of eighth-grade Canadian students. Results indicate that both symbolic and non-symbolic magnitude mental representations of fractions are related to achievement in procedural and conceptual fraction knowledge. The current study also identifies five distinct learner profiles based on students’ levels of procedural and conceptual fraction knowledge (e.g., lower procedural, higher conceptual), with initial indications that proficiency in magnitude mental representations may account, in part, for differences between these groups.

description: Iron oxide nano particles with nominal Fe2O3 stoichiometry were synthesized by a wet, soft chemical method with the heat treatment temperatures from 250°C to 900°C in air. The variation in the structural properties of the nano particles with the heat treatment temperature was studied by X-ray diffraction and Fe K shell X-ray absorption study. X-ray diffractograms show that at lower annealing temperatures nano particle comprises both maghemite and hematite phases. With increasing temperature, the remainder of the maghemite phase transformed completely to hematite. Profile analysis of the leading Bragg reflections reveals that the average crystallite size increases from 50 nm to 150 nm with increasing temperature. The mean primary particle size decreased from 105 nm to 90 nm with increasing heat treatment temperature. The X-ray diffraction results are paralleled by systematic changes in the pre-edge structure of the Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectra, in particular by a gradual decrease of the t2g/eg peak height ratio of the two leading pre-edge resonances, confirming oxidation of the Fe from Fe2+ towards Fe3+. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on the samples treated at temperatures as high as 900°C showed particles with prismatic morphology along with the formation of stacking fault like defects. High resolution TEM with selected area electron diffraction (SAED) of samples heat treated above 350°C showed that the nano particles have well developed lattice fringes corresponding to that of (110) plane of hematite.

description: This thesis explored the topic of the categorization of and programming for students named, through intellectual assessment and/or documented school failure, as “slow learners”. Written as a fictionalized hard-boiled detective story instead of adopting a more traditional thesis format, the thesis drew on the author’s experiential data, primary sources, and interviews with students, teachers, administrators, and curriculum leaders and the interpretive lenses of disability studies, including disability history, and hermeneutics. It explored assumptions contained in the slow learner label and the resourcing and accommodation practices, and their lack, that flow from this and other educational labels. Emergent themes included the harmful consequences of sorting individuals by measured intelligence scores, and the notion that the complexity of human learning for any student is greater than the slow learner label, or any educational label can contain. Paradoxically, even as these themes emerged, the actual teaching practices in many programs for slow learners, in their concreteness, in their freedom from constraints such as standardized testing, and in their use of inquiry methods, were reported as beneficial to these students and potentially to other students as well. When similar methods were used in non-segregated classrooms that included students named as slow learners, most students were reported to be engaged and successful. In this vein, broader educational reform measures that might be potentially helpful in helping make schools more inclusive for the students currently labelled slow learners were also examined. This thesis recommended the use of inclusive approaches in classrooms at the site-based level as well as continued scrutiny and reform of the institutional barriers at the school, district, and provincial levels that contribute to the production of slow learners.

description: We performed Herschel/HIFI observations of intermediate-excitation molecular lines in the far-infrared/submillimeter range in a sample of ten protoplanetary nebulae and young planetary nebulae. The high spectral resolution provided by HIFI yields accurate measurements of the line profiles. The observation of these high-energy transitions allows an accurate study of the excitation conditions, particularly in the warm gas, which cannot be properly studied from the low-energy lines. We have detected FIR/sub-mm lines of several molecules, in particular of 12CO, 13CO, and H2O. Emission from other species, like NH3, OH, H2^{18}O, HCN, SiO, etc, has been also detected. Wide profiles showing sometimes spectacular line wings have been found. We have mainly studied the excitation properties of the high-velocity emission, which is known to come from fast bipolar outflows. From comparison with general theoretical predictions, we find that CRL 618 shows a particularly warm fast wind, with characteristic kinetic temperature Tk >~ 200 K. In contrast, the fast winds in OH 231.8+4.2 and NGC 6302 are cold, Tk ~ 30 K. Other nebulae, like CRL 2688, show intermediate temperatures, with characteristic values around 100 K. We also discuss how the complex structure of the nebulae can affect our estimates, considering two-component models. We argue that the differences in temperature in the different nebulae can be due to cooling after the gas acceleration (that is probably due to shocks); for instance, CRL 618 is a case of very recent acceleration, less than ~ 100 yr ago, while the fast gas in OH 231.8+4.2 was accelerated ~ 1000 yr ago. We also find indications that the densest gas tends to be cooler, which may be explained by the expected increase of the radiative cooling efficiency with the density.

title: Impact of the adapted white point and the cultural background on memory color assessments

description: With their inherent ability of serving as an internal reference, memory colors provide a very powerful concept in the evaluation of color rendering properties of white light sources with respect to visual appreciation. Recent results for example suggest fairly good correlations between memory‐based color quality metrics and the observers' general color preferences. However, due to technical limitations in the design of the underlying psychophysical experiments, they generally lack the explicit inclusion of realistic viewing and adaptation conditions, which is supposed to have a nonnegligible impact on the model prediction performance. In addition, intercultural effects might play a crucial role in the context of memory colors. For these reasons, the current article investigates the impact of both the adapted white point and the observers' cultural background on memory color assessments in order to contribute to a better understanding of these dependencies and their interactions. For this purpose, the color appearance rating results of Chinese and German observers were collected for a selection of 12 different familiar test objects assessed under two different adaptation conditions at 3200 K and 5600 K, respectively. From the statistical analysis of the experimental data, it is shown, in accordance to previous studies, that the impact of the observed intercultural deviations is likely to be of no practical importance even though significance is found. Despite considerably larger effect sizes, the same must be concluded for the two tested adaptation conditions.

description: In Alberta, Canada, groundwater extraction limits are required to ensure longevity of groundwater systems. Despite these limits, there have been incidents in which groundwater levels have declined below government regulated allowable levels. This work investigated one such incident to assess how this problem can be avoided in the future. Historical groundwater data from the Town of Irricana were studied to compare the groundwater production rates with the regulated extraction limits and to evaluate the impacts of long-term groundwater use on local groundwater levels. A 48-hour pumping test was conducted to assess the local hydrogeological conditions. Geological conditions were investigated with the use of well formation logs. The investigation revealed a bounded aquifer that is recharged by leakage from overlying hydrostratigraphic units. Analyses of hydrogeological and geological conditions using readily available data and methods utilized in this study should be applied in groundwater management practices to help quantify long-term extraction rates.

description: The quark-connected and the quark-disconnected Wick contractions contributing to the pion's scalar form factor are computed in the two and in the three flavour chiral effective theory at next-to-leading order. While the quark-disconnected contribution to the form factor itself turns out to be power-counting suppressed its contribution to the scalar radius is of the same order of magnitude as the one of the quark-connected contribution. This result underlines that neglecting quark-disconnected contributions in simulations of lattice QCD can cause significant systematic effects. The technique used to derive these predictions can be applied to a large class of observables relevant for QCD-phenomenology.
