Elucidating how protein turnover in cell-ECM adhesion stabilizes tissue structure during development
Creators: name: López Ceballos, Pablo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Morphogenesis is the process by which cells rearrange to form complex three dimensional structures. Cell to extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion, primarily mediated by Integrins, is essential for the formation and maintenance of tissue architecture. A critical way to regulate cell-ECM adhesion is by modulating the turnover of Integrins and their adhesion complex, and thereby modulating the stability of Integrin-based adhesions. We previously showed that mechanical force stabilizes Integrin-based adhesions during development by modulating Integrin turnover. Here, we extend our studies to understand how mechanical stress impacts the dynamics of the cytoplasmic adaptor protein Talin, a critical regulator of Integrin function. Using Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) analysis in combination with a newly developed mathematical model that encompasses the complexities of Talin turnover, we determined that mechanical force stabilizes cell-ECM adhesion by increasing the rate of assembly of Talin-mediated adhesion complexes. To dissect the mechanisms that regulate Talin turnover downstream of mechanical force, we used point mutations of Talin which abrogate specific functions of the Integrin adhesion complex and measured turnover kinetics. We found that the activation of Integrins, resulting in increased affinity for ECM ligands, is a crucial process to regulate adhesion complex turnover. To further investigate the role of Integrin activation in regulating adhesion stability, we introduced small molecules known to induce “outside-in activation” of Integrins in vitro into live, intact embryos. This approach revealed that outside-in activation stabilizes cell-ECM adhesion by decreasing Integrin endocytosis; similarly to what we have previously seen when mechanical force is increased. Based on this finding, we propose that mechanical force may induce changes in Integrin activation in order to stabilize cell-ECM adhesions. Overall, we show that Integrin activation is a key mechanism that regulates cell-ECM adhesion stabilization during embryogenesis.

Spin wave resonances are used to study interface properties of the ferromagnetic La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO3. We find that the addition of the BiFeO3 or PbZr20Ti80O3 causes out-of-plane surface pinning of the La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO3. We are able to place new limits on the exchange constant D of La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO3 grown on these substrates and confirm the presence of uniaxial and biaxial anisotropies caused by the SrTiO3 substrate.

description: Quantum theory demands that, in contrast to classical physics, not all properties can be simultaneously well defined. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a manifestation of this fact. Another important corollary arises that there can be no joint probability distribution describing the outcomes of all possible measurements, allowing a quantum system to be classically understood. We provide the first experimental evidence that even for a single three-state system, a qutrit, no such classical model can exist that correctly describes the results of a simple set of pairwise compatible measurements. Not only is a single qutrit the simplest system in which such a contradiction is possible, but, even more importantly, the contradiction cannot result from entanglement, because such a system is indivisible, and it does not even allow the concept of entanglement between subsystems.

description: We investigate the possibility that the surface of a strongly coupled electron-phonon system behaves differently from the bulk when the relevant parameters are inhomogeneous due to the presence of the interface. We consider parameter variations which make the surface either more metallic or more insulating than the bulk. While it appears impossible to stabilize a truly insulating surface when the bulk is metallic, the opposite situation can be realized. A metallic surface can indeed be decoupled from a bipolaronic insulator realized in the bulk.

description: The effects of initially uniform magnetic fields on the formation and evolution of dense pillars and cometary globules at the boundaries of H II regions are investigated using 3D radiation-magnetohydrodynamics simulations. It is shown, in agreement with previous work, that a strong initial magnetic field is required to significantly alter the non-magnetised dynamics because the energy input from photoionisation is so large that it remains the dominant driver of the dynamics in most situations. Additionally it is found that for weak and medium field strengths an initially perpendicular field is swept into alignment with the pillar during its dynamical evolution, matching magnetic field observations of the `Pillars of Creation' in M16 and also some cometary globules. A strong perpendicular magnetic field remains in its initial configuration and also confines the photoevaporation flow into a bar-shaped dense ionised ribbon which partially shields the ionisation front and would be readily observable in recombination lines. A simple analytic model is presented to explain the properties of this bright linear structure. These results show that magnetic field strengths in star-forming regions can in principle be significantly constrained by the morphology of structures which form at the borders of H II regions.

description: We develop a theory of the magnetic field-induced formation of Skyrmion crystal state in chiral magnets in two spatial dimensions, motivated by the recent discovery of the Skyrmionic phase of magnetization in thin film of Fe$_{0.5}$Co$_{0.5}$Si and in the A-phase of MnSi. Ginzburg-Landau functional of the chiral magnet re-written in the CP$^1$ representation is shown to be a convenient framework for the analysis of the Skyrmion states. Phase diagram of the model at zero temperature gives a sequence of ground states, helical spin $\rightarrow$ Skyrme crystal $\rightarrow$ ferromagnet, as the external field $B$ increases, in good accord with the thin-film experiment. In close analogy with Abrikosov's derivation of the vortex lattice solution in type-II superconductor, the CP$^1$ mean-field equation is solved and shown to reproduce the Skyrmion crystal state.

The Persistence of Plastic: Environmental Public Art and Micro-Plastic Pollution

description: Microplastics are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that cause harm to the health and reproductive capacity of living creatures. As humans are the sole source of plastic contamination, changes in human behavior are vital to mitigating micro-plastic contamination. Climate Change Communicators and Environmental Psychologists have found that messages delivered in the form of the Arts and Humanities can play an instrumental role in motivating sustainable behaviour. In this exploratory study, these findings are tested in an Australian context by examining audience responses to a public work of art addressing micro-plastic pollution. In addition to confirming the findings reported in the literature, the use of a beautiful form in a work of art has been identified as a strategy that can stimulate audience engagement with environmental messaging. Beautiful form rather than a beautiful subject can engage viewers and educate through imaginative interpretation.

We support Dinah’s position – because the English language underpins the Australian colonial project, and has been used to separate, ignore and take from Country, her peoples and their knowledges. Country responds to people, however, for example when there is empathic, creative communication and engagement with landscapes, and when liyan and wirrin is the basis for human and ecological wellbeing. We propose a practice for people new to this participation; of ‘becoming family with place’. It integrates four ways of knowing, to celebrate an ontopoetic for Country that is experiential, creative, propositional and participative – a post-conceptual knowing for human flourishing. It is for coming home to Country, and is for learning and educational purposes.

Pregnane X receptor and constitutive androstane receptor activation by non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors
Creators: name: Sharma, Devinder
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are important anti-retroviral drugs indicated in combination therapy of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection. NNRTI therapy is associated with pharmacokinetic drug interactions, the underlying mechanisms of which are poorly understood. The present study investigated the effects of NNRTIs on the activity of pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), key transcriptional factors regulating the expression of various drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. The experimental approaches included cell-based luciferase reporter gene assays, in vitro competitive ligand binding assay, nuclear translocation analysis by confocal imaging, coactivator recruitment assays, and target gene expression determination in primary human hepatocytes. Rilpivirine, etravirine, and efavirenz, but not nevirapine or delavirdine, were identified as agonists of PXR and inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), a target gene of PXR. By comparison, rilpivirine, etravirine, and efavirenz, but not nevirapine or delavirdine, were indirect activators of the wild-type isoform of CAR and inducers of cytochrome P450 2B6, a target gene of CAR. Among the NNRTIs investigated, only efavirenz activated the SV23 and SV24 splice variants of CAR, indicating that NNRTIs activated CAR in a drug-specific and isoform-selective manner. To further understand PXR regulation by rilpivirine, the role of microRNA in rilpivirine activation of PXR was investigated. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that are post-transcriptional regulators causing mRNA degradation or translational repression by binding to complementary regions in target mRNA. Bioinformatic analysis (www.microRNA.org) predicted sequence complementarity between hsa-miR-18a-5p and PXR. Reporter gene assays revealed a functional hsa-miR-18a-5p microRNA recognition element in the 3′-untranslated region of PXR. In cell-based assays, over-expression of hsa-miR-18a-5p by transfecting LS180 human colon adenocarcinoma cells with a mimic of hsa-miR-18a-5p decreased PXR mRNA and protein expression. Rilpivirine and rifampin did not affect PXR expression, but it decreased endogenous expression of hsa-miR-18a-5p in LS180 cells. In contrast, over-expression of hsa-miR-18a-5p decreased PXR mRNA expression and CYP3A4 inducibility by rilpivirine and rifampin. These data suggest that hsa-miR-18a-5p regulates PXR and contributes to drug activation of PXR. Overall, the present study shows activation of PXR and CAR by select NNRTIs and provides mechanistic understanding of NNRTI-mediated drug-drug interactions.

A species characteristic of many parts of what Buxton terms the Great Palaearctic Desert, or at least of its fringes. Has a wide distribution over the African Continent, and occurs on islands of the Indian Ocean. Given to wandering, and sometimes overflowing beyond its normal range, it may perhaps, like Sympetrum fonscolombei, become temporarily resident in unusual localities. Miss Fountaine saw it in Corsica, apparently quite at home, flying along the banks of wooded streams at Luri, Cap Corse at the beginning of May 1906 (E. M. M. xliii, p. 1).

description: We study, by means of magnetic susceptibility and magnetic aging experiments, the nature of the glassy magnetic dynamics in arrays of Co nanoparticles, self-organized in N layers from N=1 (two-dimensional limit) up to N=20 (three-dimensional limit). We find no qualitative differences between the magnetic responses measured in these two limits, in spite of the fact that no spin-glass phase is expected above T=0 in two dimensions. More specifically, all the phenomena (critical slowing down, flattening of the field-cooled magnetization below the blocking temperature and the magnetic memory induced by aging) that are usually associated with this phase look qualitatively the same for two-dimensional and three-dimensional arrays. The activated scaling law that is typical of systems undergoing a phase transition at zero temperature accounts well for the critical slowing down of the dc and ac susceptibilities of all samples. Our data show also that dynamical magnetic correlations achieved by aging a nanoparticle array below its superparamagnetic blocking temperature extend mainly to nearest neighbors. Our experiments suggest that the glassy magnetic dynamics of these nanoparticle arrays is associated with a zero-temperature spin-glass transition.

description: The development of materials processing techniques for optical diamond nanostructures containing a single color center is an important problem in quantum science and technology. In this work, we present the combination of ion implantation and top-down diamond nanofabrication in two scenarios: diamond nanopillars and diamond nanowires. The first device consists of a 'shallow' implant (~20nm) to generate Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers near the top surface of the diamond crystal. Individual NV centers are then isolated mechanically by dry etching a regular array of nanopillars in the diamond surface. Photon anti-bunching measurements indicate that a high yield (>10%) of the devices contain a single NV center. The second device demonstrates 'deep' (~1μm) implantation of individual NV centers into pre-fabricated diamond nanowire. The high single photon flux of the nanowire geometry, combined with the low background fluorescence of the ultrapure diamond, allows us to sustain strong photon anti-bunching even at high pump powers.

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: The main goal of modernizing Russian healthcare is to increase the availability and quality of medical care for the general population, while the most important socially significant component of this task is the rational pro-vision of citizens of the Russian Federation (RF) with the necessary effective and high-quality medicines. Drug provision for privileged categories of citizens in the territory of the Russian Federation is carried out at the Federal and territorial levels.
The main priority in the work of pharmaceutical organizations is social orientation, concern for the availability of medical care for all layers and categories of citizens of the Russian Federation. Financial resources are allocated annually from the budgets of all levels to provide preferential medical care for privileged categories of citizens, but their size does not allow them to provide medicines and medical devices in full in accordance with the needs of patients.
The problem of improving the mechanism for providing full-fledged medical care for privileged categories of the population continues to be extremely relevant for several years, as it affects the interests of the socially vul-nerable part of the population.
Key words: preferential population, preferential drug provision, financing of provision of necessary medi-cines.

description: We investigate the entanglement properties of finite spin rings, with noncollinear Ising interaction between nearest neighbours. The orientations of the Ising axes are determined either by the spin position within the ring (model A) or by the direction of the bond (model B). In both cases, the considered spin Hamiltonians have a point group symmetry, rather than a translation invariance, as in spin rings with collinear Ising interaction. The ground state of these models exhibit remarkable entanglement properties, resembling GHZ-like states in the absence of an applied magnetic field (model B). Besides, the application of an homogeneous magnetic field allows to modify qualitatively the character of the ground state entanglement, switching from multipartite to pairwise quantum correlations (both models A and B).

description: In this paper, we model dwarf galaxies as a two-component system of gravitationally coupled stars and atomic hydrogen gas in the external force field of a pseudo-isothermal dark matter halo, and numerically obtain the radial distribution of {H\,{\sc i}} vertical scale heights. This is done for a group of four dwarf galaxies (DDO\,154, Ho\,II, IC\,2574 and NGC\,2366) for which most necessary input parameters are available from observations. The formulation of the equations takes into account the rising rotation curves generally observed in dwarf galaxies. The inclusion of self-gravity of the gas into the model at par with that of the stars results in scale heights that are smaller than what was obtained by previous authors. This is important as the gas scale height is often used for deriving other physical quantities. The inclusion of gas self-gravity is particularly relevant in the case of dwarf galaxies where the gas cannot be considered a minor perturbation to the mass distribution of the stars. We find that three out of four galaxies studied show a flaring of their {H\,{\sc i}} disks with increasing radius, by a factor of a few within several disk scale lengths. The fourth galaxy has a thick {H\,{\sc i}} disk throughout. This arises as a result of the gas velocity dispersion remaining constant or decreasing only slightly while the disk mass distribution declines exponentially as a function of radius.

description: Abstract:
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.

description: Development of x-ray phase contrast imaging applications with a laboratory scale source have been limited by the long exposure time needed to obtain one image. We demonstrate, using the Betatron x-ray radiation produced when electrons are accelerated and wiggled in the laser-wakefield cavity, that a high quality phase contrast image of a complex object (here, a bee), located in air, can be obtained with a single laser shot. The Betatron x-ray source used in this proof of principle experiment has a source diameter of 1.7 microns and produces a synchrotron spectrum with critical energy E_c=12.3 +- 2.5 keV and 10^9 photons per shot in the whole spectrum.

description: Low dimensional materials provide the possibility of improved thermoelectric performance due to the additional length scale degree of freedom for engineering their electronic and thermal properties. As a result of suppressed phonon conduction, large improvements on the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, have been recently reported in nanostructures, compared to the raw materials' ZT values. In addition, low dimensionality can improve a device's power factor, offering an additional enhancement in ZT. In this work the atomistic sp3d5s*-spin-orbit-coupled tight-binding model is used to calculate the electronic structure of silicon nanowires (NWs). The Landauer formalism is applied to calculate an upper limit for the electrical conductivity, the Seebeck coefficient, and the power factor. We examine n-type and p-type nanowires of diameters from 3nm to 12nm, in [100], [110], and [111] transport orientations at different doping concentrations. Using experimental values for the lattice thermal conductivity in nanowires, an upper limit for ZT is computed. We find that at room temperature, scaling the diameter below 7nm can at most double the power factor and enhance ZT. In some cases, however, scaling does not enhance the performance at all. Orientations, geometries, and subband engineering techniques for optimized designs are discussed.

Mucus-bacteria interactions in the gut : investigating the role of the mucin Muc2 and its glycosylation in host defense during enteric bacterial infections
Creators: name: Bhullar, Kirandeep
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The intestinal mucus layer, which is largely composed of the secreted mucin Muc2 provides a first line of defense in the intestine. Muc2 is a heavily O-glycosylated protein with core 1 and core 3 derived O-glycans as primary constituents. It plays an important role in host defense against the attaching/effacing (A/E) pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. However whether it provides protection against the invasive human pathogen Salmonella is still unclear. Furthermore, the role of O-glycosylation in mediating the protective role played by the Muc2 mucin against enteric pathogens has not been investigated. Likewise, although almost all enteric bacterial pathogens must cross the overlying mucus layer to infect the intestinal epithelium, there is very little known about mucus-enteric bacterial interactions and virulence strategies used to accomplish this feat. We began our investigations by comparing Salmonella-induced colitis and mucus dynamics in Muc2-deficient (Muc2 -/-), C3GnT -/-, and C57BL/6 (WT) mice. While absence of core 3 derived O-glycosylation only impacted epithelial barrier integrity, absence of Muc2 resulted in significantly higher barrier disruption, host mortality rates, and increased colonic and systemic Salmonella burdens. Likewise, absence of core 1 derived O-glycans (C1galt1 -/- mice) resulted in heightened susceptibility to C. rodentium, characterized by impaired mucus levels in the lumen, and bacterial aggregation in close proximity to the intestinal epithelial surface, phenotypes not seen in WT or C3GnT -/- counterparts. To understand if the non-motile pathogen C. rodentium used bacterial proteases/mucinases as a mucus degrading strategy to gain access to the underlying epithelium, we investigated the role of a putative mucinase and a class 2 SPATE PicC. While PicC did not affect C. rodentium’s ability to colonize the colon, it appeared to have an unprecedented role in regulating C. rodentium’s activation of the innate receptor TLR2, suggesting that despite its mucinase activity, PicC's major roles in vivo may be to limit C. rodentium aggregation and its recognition by the host's innate immune system. Overall these studies highlight a novel protective role of Muc2 and its O-linked glycosylation in host defense against enteric infections and the importance of Muc2-mediated regulation of pathogen burdens at the intestinal epithelial surface.
An Improved Efficient Key Distribution Mechanism for Large-Scale Heterogeneous Mobile Sensor Networks

description: Due to resource constraints of the sensor nodes, traditional public key cryptographic techniques are not feasible in most sensor network architectures. Several symmetric key distribution mechanisms are proposed for establishing pairwise keys between sensor nodes in sensor networks, but most of them are not scalable and also are not much suited for mobile sensor networks because they incur much communication as well as computational overheads. Moreover, these schemes are either vulnerable to a small number of compromised sensor nodes or involve expensive protocols for establishing keys. In this paper, we introduce a new scheme for establishing keys between sensor nodes with the help of additional high-end sensor nodes, called the auxiliary nodes. Our scheme provides unconditional security against sensor node captures and high network connectivity. In addition, our scheme requires minimal storage requirement for storing keys mainly due to only a single key before deployment in each node in the sensor network, supports efficiently addition of new nodes after initial deployment and also works for any deployment topology.

description: We study the scaling behavior of physical observables in strongly-flavored asymptotically free gauge theories, such as many-flavor QCD. Such theories approach a quantum critical point when the number of fermion flavors is increased. It is well-known that physical observables at this quantum critical point exhibit an exponential scaling behavior (Miransky scaling), provided the gauge coupling is considered as a constant external parameter. This scaling behavior is modified when the scale dependence of the gauge coupling is taken into account. Provided that the gauge coupling approaches an IR fixed point, we derive the resulting universal power-law corrections to the exponential scaling behavior and show that they are uniquely determined by the IR critical exponent of the gauge coupling. To illustrate our findings, we compute the universal corrections in many-flavor QCD with the aid of nonperturbative functional renormalization group methods. In this case, we expect the power-law scaling to be quantitatively more relevant if the theories are probed, for instance, at integer Nf as done in lattice simulations.

description: The time evolution of a qubit, consisting of two single-level quantum dots, is studied in the presence of telegraph noise. The dots are connected by two tunneling paths, with an Aharonov-Bohm flux enclosed between them. Under special symmetry conditions, which can be achieved by tuning gate voltages, there develops partial decoherence: at long times, the off-diagonal element of the reduced density matrix (in the basis of the two dot states) approaches a non-zero value, generating a circulating current around the loop. The flux dependence of this current contains full information on the initial quantum state of the qubit, even at infinite time. Small deviations from this symmetry yield a very slow exponential decay towards the fully-decoherent limit. However, the amplitudes of this decay also contain the full information on the initial qubit state, measurable either via the current or via the occupations of the qubit dots.

Identification and analysis of E3 ligases and helper NLRs in plant immunity
Creators: name: Tong, Meixuezi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Plant immunity is usually initiated with two types of immune receptors: 1) pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize the conserved molecular features of pathogens (pathogen-associated molecular patterns, PAMPs) and trigger PTI (PAMP-triggered immunity) and; 2) nucleotide-binding/leucine-rich repeats (NLRs) serve as intracellular immune receptors with the ability to recognize the presence of relatively diverse pathogen effectors and trigger ETI (effector-triggered immunity). The Arabidopsis thaliana mutant snc1 contains a gain-of-function mutation in a Toll/interleukin-1 (TIR)-type NLR (TNL) gene and displays a dwarf morphology. Here, I report on the results of a snc1-influencing plant E3 ligase reverse genetic (SNIPER) screen that looked for snc1 plants with altered dwarfism in the presence of overexpressed E3 ligases. Six SNIPER genes were identified with four snc1-suppressors and two snc1-enhancers. SNIPER1/2/3 were selected for further characterization. The analysis of SNIPER1/2 is incomplete, thus is not included in this thesis. Chapter 3 describes SNIPER3, previously known as SAUL1 (Senescence-Associated E3 Ubiquitin Ligase 1) or PUB44 (Plant U-box 44), which encodes a U-box-type E3 ligase. Our data suggests that SAUL1 plays a dual role in plant immunity: on one hand, SAUL1 positively regulates basal resistance; on the other hand, SAUL1 suppresses a typical TNL immune receptor SUSA1 (Suppressor of saul1) to prevent its autoimmunity. ADR1, ADR1-L1 and ADR1-L2 are three homologous coiled-coil (CC)-type NLRs (CNLs), which were previously shown to work as helper NLRs. Chapter 4 further explores the specificity of the genetic requirement of ADR1s for typical TNLs, SNC1 and CHS2 (CHILLING SENSITIVE 2). Among the three ADR1 members, ADR1 is the leading contributor while ADR1-L1 is the least. Moreover, loss-of-function mutation of ADR1-L1 leads to over compensation of the transcript expression level of ADR1 and ADR1-L2 and results in the enhancement of snc1-mediated immunity. Overall, the studies I completed as part of my Ph.D. thesis expand our knowledge of the roles of E3 ligases and ADR1s in plant defense and help us to better understand the sophisticated regulatory mechanisms of plant innate immunity.
