description: Y -band is a broad passband that is centered at ~ 1 micron. It is becoming a new, popular window for extragalactic study especially for observation of red objects thanks to recent CCD technology developments. In order to better understand the general characteristics of objects in Y -band, and to investigate the promise of Y -band observations with small telescopes, we carried out imaging observation of several extragalactic fields, brown dwarfs and high redshift quasars with Y -band filter at the Mt. Lemmon Optical Astronomy Observatory and the Maidanak observatory. From our observations, we constrain the bright end of the galaxy and the stellar number counts in Y -band. Also, we test the usefulness of high redshift quasar (z > 6) selection via i-z-Y color-color diagram, to demonstrate that the i-z-Y color-color diagram is effective for the selection of high redshift quasars even with a conventional optical CCD camera installed at a 1-m class telescope.

description: Ageing of assets in the existing power networks infrastructure has turned into a big concern for the electric utilities. Electrical transmission systems built during the twenty years spanning the 1960 to 1980 period form the backbone and are still in service. The situation of such power networks being very different from the overdesigned networks of the former decades, the question arises, "should the asset owners break the precedents in lifecycle and replacement strategies"? The conventional time based methods used in developing failure probability evaluation for power transformers, a key factor considered for replacement planning, are challenged in this research. Methods are developed to factor in operational history of transformers in failure probability modeling. In the first method, health index, a proprietary number that represents transformer overall condition, is used to adjust failure probability. This is a novel application introduced for health index. In the second method, thermal modeling is used to assess the cellulose insulation condition and used for the first time as a basis for probability modeling. In the third method, a new approach is developed with Bayesian Networks to provide a more accurate estimation of cellulose insulation condition by considering both thermal model results and dissolved oil analysis. The third method is more complicated and requires more input data compared to the other methods. However, it is expected to provide more accurate value for failure probability. Data for actual transformers is collected from utilities and processed to validate the developed methods. Results indicate that the methods developed are more accurate than the conventional time based methods.

description: We implement a cluster-update Monte Carlo algorithm to simulate magnetic dipoles of the XY-spin type confined in a two-dimensional plane. The long-range character and anisotropy in the dipole interaction are handled by using the Luijten-Blöte algorithm and the Dotsenko-Selke-Talapov algorithm, respectively. We have checked the performance of this cluster-update algorithm in comparison to the Metropolis algorithm and found that it equilibrated the system faster in terms of the number of flipped spins, although the overall computational complexity of the problem remained the same.

Regulation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Motility by Protein Kinases: A Focus on Zipper-Interacting Protein Kinase
Creators: name: Al-Ghabkari, Abdulhameed
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Biochemistry
subject: Protein kinases
subject: Vascular smooth muscle motility
subject: Small molecule inhibitors

description: Zipper-interacting protein kinase (ZIPK) is a protein serine/threonine kinase that mediates a variety of cellular functions. ZIPK is a key regulator of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cell contractility and motility. Further investigations for the upstream regulators, activation signals, downstream target(s), regulatory mechanism(s) and the role of ZIPK in different signaling modules are required. Two major strategies were utilized in this study to examine ZIPK signaling in VSM cells; chemical genetics and application of small molecule inhibitors. For the chemical genetics strategy, ZIPK was engineered in the ATP-binding pocket by replacing a bulky amino acid (Leu) with a small one (Gly). This ZIPK-L93G kinase was introduced into VSM cells and then the NM-PPI inhibitor (selective for L93G-ZIPK, not for WT-ZIPK) was applied, which demonstrated an inhibitory effect on myosin phosphorylation. This strategy provides another approach to study ZIPK signaling, especially in the absence of specific inhibitors for ZIPK. Recent investigations led to the development of two small molecule inhibitors for ZIPK; DI and HS-38. The selectivity of the DI compound was assessed by; (i) in vitro studies; (ii) in situ analysis; and (iii) in silico molecular modelling. Our studies revealed that the DI compound was not selective for ZIPK; DI had effects on the cellular cytoskeleton and motility that were associated with diminution of ROCKII signaling pathways. The HS-38 compound was advantageous to delineate a novel signaling relationship between ZIPK and focal adhesion kinase (FAK). ZIPK inhibition by HS-38 or ZIPK knockdown with siRNA resulted in suppression of pY397-FAK phosphorylation and remodeling of the cytoskeletal architecture. Additional molecular details of this signaling mechanism implicate a member of the dual specificity phosphatase family (CDC14A) in a putative partnership with ZIPK to regulate focal adhesion dynamics and FAK phosphorylation.
The Implications of Uniform Pricing in Restructured Electricity Wholesale Markets: Evidence from Alberta
Creators: name: Freudenthaler, Grant
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Economics
subject: Electricity Markets
subject: Nodal Pricing
subject: Uniform Pricing

description: This thesis investigates the implications of using a uniform clearing price in restructured electricity wholesale markets, utilizing Alberta’s market as a case study. The first implication of employing a single price is that during transmission congestion a single price can never result in efficient prices, as a single price is not determined by the intersection of supply and demand in both resulting markets. The second implication is that the incentive to build transmission is amplified in order to facilitate competitive outcomes and to avoid congestion, which is confirmed by Alberta experience. Thirdly it is shown that under a single price congestion is not present in prices, and limits the incentive for generation to invest in an optimal location. The implications identified lead to the conclusion that there is a trade-off between having equal wholesale electricity rates and minimizing the delivered cost of electricity.
Blind Identification of the Electromechanical Modes of a Power System using a Wiener Model

Publisher: name: Graduate Studies

Subjects: subject: Engineering--Electronics and Electrical
subject: Electromechanical modes
subject: System Identification

subject: N4SID

description: In this thesis, a blind system identification technique using a Wiener model is used to estimate the power system modes. A Wiener model, a universal approximator consisting of a dynamic linear system followed by a memoryless nonlinear element, is used to estimate the power system nonlinearities. It also constructs a set of intermediate data, which can be used by a linear estimation technique such as subspace identification for estimating the power system electromechanical modes. In this research, a blind variant of a subspace method, Numerical Algorithm for Subspace State Space System IDentification (N4SID), is used. The algorithm is tested with simulation data from the Kundur two-area network. The accuracy and reliability of these estimates are accessed by carrying out Monte Carlo simulations. The estimated results obtained from the simulated system using a Wiener model were very accurate with reduced prediction errors and was a good fit for the power system.

description: We analyze the results of scanning near-field infrared spectroscopy performed on thin films of a-SiO2 on Si substrate. The measured near-field signal exhibits surface-phonon resonances whose strength has a strong thickness dependence in the range from 2 to 300 {nm}. These observations are compared with calculations in which the tip of the near-field infrared spectrometer is modeled either as a point dipole or an elongated spheroid. The latter model accounts for the antenna effect of the tip and gives a better agreement with the experiment. Possible applications of the near-field technique for depth profiling of layered nanostructures are discussed.

Spaces of the Holocaust : alternative narrative forms in Briar Rose, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and The Book Thief
Creators: name: Kirk, Bryannie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Holocaust has been increasingly represented in literature for young adults and children; this representation often makes use of alternative forms of narrative. For example, the young adult texts Briar Rose, by Jane Yolen, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne, and The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, use the forms of the fairy tale, the fable, and a very unique narrator, respectively, to represent the Holocaust in narrative. This thesis uses Theresa Rogers’ identification of spaces of the Holocaust to show which spaces are represented in each text, and Rick Altman’s theory of narrative to discuss how the narratives function in relation to the framing and following-patterns used.

description: Conversion of traveling magnons into an electron carried spin current is demonstrated in a time resolved experiment using a spatially separated inductive spin-wave source and an inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) detector. A short spin-wave packet is excited in a yttrium-iron garnet (YIG) waveguide by a microwave signal and is detected at a distance of 3 mm by an attached Pt layer as a delayed ISHE voltage pulse. The delay in the detection appears due to the finite spin-wave group velocity and proves the magnon spin transport. The experiment suggests utilization of spin waves for the information transfer over macroscopic distances in spintronic devices and circuits.

Asymptotic behavior of the loss probability for an M/G/1/N queue with vacations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: In this paper, asymptotic properties of the loss probability are considered for an M/G/1/N queue with server vacations and exhaustive service discipline, denoted by an M/G/1/N -(V, E)-queue. Exact asymptotic rates of the loss probability are obtained for the cases in which the traffic intensity is smaller than, equal to and greater than one, respectively. When the vacation time is zero, the model considered degenerates to the standard M/G/1/N queue. For this standard queueing model, our analysis provides new or extended asymptotic results for the loss probability. In terms of the duality relationship between the M/G/1/N and GI/M/1/N queues, we also provide asymptotic properties for the standard GI/M/1/N model.

description: Charge lost per unit surface area of a silicon electrode due to the formation of solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI) layer during initial lithiation was quantified, and the species that constitute this layer were identified. Coin cells made with Si thin-film electrodes were subjected to a combination of galvanostatic and potentiostatic lithiation and delithiation cycles to accurately measure the capacity lost to SEI-layer formation. While the planar geometry of amorphous thin films allows accurate calculation of surface area, creation of additional surface by cracking was prevented by minimizing the thickness of the Si film. The cycled electrodes were analyzed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to characterize the composition of the SEI layer. The charge lost due to SEI formation measured from coin cell experiments was found to be in good agreement with the first-cycle capacity loss during the initial lithiation of a Si (100) crystal with planar geometry. The methodology presented in this work is expected to provide a useful practical tool for battery-material developers in estimating the expected capacity loss due to first cycle SEI-layer formation and in choosing an appropriate particle size distribution that balances mechanical integrity and the first cycle capacity loss in large volume expansion electrodes for lithium-ion batteries.

description: A collection of 207 historically relevant Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates was analyzed by multilocus sequence typing. The collection contains environmental isolates from a geographical survey of B. pseudomallei in Thailand during 1964 to 1967, clinical isolates from American soldiers serving in Vietnam, and stock cultures and colony variants from the United States Army Medical Research Unit (Malaysia), the Walter Reed Army Institute for Research, and the Pasteur Institute (Vietnam). The collection was resolved into 80 sequence types, 56 were novel. Differences in colony morphology among reference isolates did not affect ST assignment and the first environmental isolates sharing STIO with B. pseudomallei K96243 were reported. eBURST analysis of the historical collection demonstrated an ancestral nature of the isolates when compared with all isolates catalogued in the B. pseudomallei MLST database. Australian ST84 was found to be characteristic of B. pseudomallei isolates from Southeast Asia and an epidemiologically significant phylogenetic relationship was discovered between Thai and Australian environmental isolates through the commonality of ST60, which has important implications for future studies in melioidosis epidemiology.

description: We formulate and investigate the nonlinear $q$-voter model (which as special cases includes the linear voter and the Sznajd model) on a one dimensional lattice. We derive analytical formula for the exit probability and show that it agrees perfectly with Monte Carlo simulations. The puzzle, that we deal with here, may be contained in a simple question: "Why the mean field approach gives the exact formula for the exit probability in the one-dimensional nonlinear $q$-voter model?". To answer this question we test several hypothesis proposed recently for the Sznajd model, including the finite size effects, the influence of the range of interactions and the importance of the initial step of the evolution. On the one hand, our work is part of a trend of the current debate on the form of the exit probability in the one-dimensional Sznajd model but on the other hand, it concerns the much broader problem of nonlinear $q$-voter model.

description: From 1919-1959, a select group of English-Canadian humanities, social science, and law academics developed a close, collaborative, and mutually beneficial relationship with the Canadian state in the sphere of external affairs. This study examines the individual and collective lived experiences of sixteen academics and their contributions to creating and disseminating knowledge of Canadian external affairs, assisting with the formulation and refinement of Canadian foreign policy, representing the nation in international fora, and aiding international reconstruction and development. Helping to meet the increasingly complex needs of the Canadian state, the sixteen academics in this study represented a talented reservoir of researchers, administrators, and diplomats that the state drew on in times of need such as the Great Depression and the Second World War. English-Canadian academics were not cloistered denizens of their universities, but were active in Canadian society and deeply involved with the foreign affairs of the nation. Significantly, the sixteen academics in the study played an important role in facilitating the process of moving Canada further along the continuum of colony to nation and helping the nation to become less overtly British and more sovereign and independent. As powerful interpreters of the Canadian state to audiences both foreign and domestic, the academics in this study were Canadian nationalists who helped the country begin to carve out a unique international identity.

description: The dynamics of an interacting Fermi gas of atoms at sufficiently high temperatures can be efficiently studied via a numerical simulation of the Boltzmann equation. In this work we describe in detail the setup we used recently to study the oscillations of two spin-polarised fermionic clouds in a trap. We focus here on the evaluation of interparticle interactions. We compare different ways of choosing the phase space coordinates of a pair of atoms after a successful collision and demonstrate that the exact microscopic setup has no influence on the macroscopic outcome.

A characterization of Sobolev spaces on the sphere and an extension of Stolarsky's invariance principle to arbitrary smoothness

description: In this paper we study reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of arbitrary smoothness on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^d \subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$. The reproducing kernel is given by an integral representation using the truncated power function $(\boldsymbol{x} \cdot \boldsymbol{z} - t)_+^{β-1}$ defined on spherical caps centered at $\boldsymbol{z}$ of height $t$, which reduce to an integral over indicator functions of spherical caps as studied in [J. Brauchart, J. Dick, arXiv:1101.4448v1 [math.NA], to appear in Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.] for $β= 1$. This is in analogy to the generalization of the reproducing kernel to arbitrary smoothness on the unit cube. We show that the reproducing kernel is a sum of a Kamp{é} de F{é}riet function and the Euclidean distance $\|\boldsymbol{x}-\boldsymbol{y}\|$ of the arguments of the kernel raised to the power of $2β-1$ if $2β- 1$ is not an even integer; otherwise the logarithm of the distance $\|\boldsymbol{x}-\boldsymbol{y}\|$ appears. For $β\in \mathbb{N}$ the Kampé de Fériet function reduces to a polynomial, giving a simple closed form expression for the reproducing kernel. Using this space we can generalize Stolarsky's invariance principle to arbitrary smoothness. Previously, Warnock's formula, which is the analogue to Stolarsky's invariance principle for the unit cube $[0,1]^s$, has been generalized using similar techniques [J. Dick, Ann. Mat. Pura. Appl., (4) 187 (2008), no. 3, 385--403].

description: The accretion efficiency for individual black holes is very difficult to determine accurately. There are many factors that can influence each step of the calculation, such as the dust and host galaxy contribution to the observed luminosity, the black hole mass and more importantly, the uncertainties on the bolometric luminosity measurement. Ideally, we would measure the AGN emission at every wavelength, remove the host galaxy and dust, reconstruct the AGN spectral energy distribution and integrate to determine the intrinsic emission and the accretion rate. In reality, this is not possible due to observational limitations and our own galaxy line of sight obscuration. We have then to infer the bolometric luminosity from spectral measurements made in discontinuous wavebands and at different epochs. In this paper we tackle this issue by exploring different methods to determine the bolometric luminosity. We first explore the trend of accretion efficiency with black hole mass (efficiency proportional to M^{\sim 0.5}) found in recent work by Davis & Laor and discuss why this is most likely an artefact of the parameter space covered by their PG quasar sample. We then target small samples of AGN at different redshifts, luminosities and black hole masses to investigate the possible methods to calculate the accretion efficiency. For these sources we are able to determine the mass accretion rate and, with some assumptions, the accretion efficiency distributions. Even though we select the sources for which we are able to determine the parameters more accurately, there are still factors affecting the measurements that are hard to constrain. We suggest methods to overcome these problems based on contemporaneous multi-wavelength data measurements and specifically targeted observations for AGN in different black hole mass ranges.

description: This study was designed to explore how a community of anesthesiologists understood situational awareness (SA), and their thoughts on how it was learned, taught, and assessed. Eighteen anesthesiologists participated in semi-structured interviews. Constructivist grounded theory techniques were used in a thematic analysis of interview transcripts, with group meetings held to develop emerging themes. Respondents displayed an understanding of SA using both clinical and everyday life examples. SA was felt to be important but formal definitions of SA were lacking and SA was not explicitly discussed. SA was learned informally through increasing independence, role-modeling, and reflection on errors, and formally through simulation. Respondents did teach about SA but found it difficult to give meaningful feedback to trainees. Although acknowledgement of SA may be evolving, it appeared that SA was a crucial but tacit concept for the anesthesiologists in this study. Faculty development is required to improve teaching and assessment of SA.

description: Massive binary stars may constitute a substantial fraction of progenitors to supernovae and gamma-ray bursts, and the distribution of their orbital characteristics holds clues to the formation process of massive stars. As a contribution to securing statistics on OB-type binaries, we report the discovery and orbital parameters for five new systems as part of the Cygnus OB2 Radial Velocity Survey. Four of the new systems (MT070, MT174, MT267, and MT734 (a.k.a. VI Cygni #11) are single-lined spectroscopic binaries while one (MT103) is a double-lined system (B1V+B2V). MT070 is noteworthy as the longest period system yet measured in Cyg OB2, with P=6.2 yr. The other four systems have periods ranging between 4 and 73 days. MT174 is noteworthy for having a probable mass ratio q<0.1, making it a candidate progenitor to a low-mass X-ray binary. These measurements bring the total number of massive binaries in Cyg OB2 to 25, the most currently known in any single cluster or association.

Improvement of China’s air pollution (sulphur dioxide and acid rain) control and countermeasures by introducing emissions trading system
Creators: name: You, Shijun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: As human beings, we rely on the atmospheric environment as a valuable resource for our daily needs. Destruction of this environment is usually an irreversible process. Attempting to restore an already damaged atmospheric environment is much more costly than preventing atmospheric pollution in the first place. As has been the case with the industrialization of western countries, Asia‘s social and economic development has created an awareness of new problems of environmental pollution and ecological degradation. Data collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) indicate that particulates transported in the air from East Asia to North America represent about 15% of the total particulate production in North America. China, as the largest developing country located in Asia, has experienced a dramatic increase in energy demands and pollutant emissions. This is partly because coal is the primary source of energy for China, something that is not expected to change in the foreseeable future. The country is not meeting its established objectives on air pollution abatement and the current administrative mechanisms are not providing adequate solutions for sulphur dioxide or acid rain problems. In response to this, the Chinese government is looking for more effective ways to balance economic growth and pollution control. One such mechanism for China could be an emissions trading program aimed at adjusting and improving air pollutant control mechanisms. This research is primarily an exploration of introducing an emissions trading system, which has played a significant and effective role in sulphur dioxide and acid rain control in US, aiming at adjusting and improving the air pollutant control mechanism in China. In terms of the feasibility analysis, with the improvement of China‘s special market economy conditions, integrating market mechanisms with "total amount control" to establish China‘s own emissions trading system, which is also known as "cap & trade", is likely to contribute greatly to sulphur dioxide and acid rain control in China. A recommended design and implementation roadmap for China‘s emissions trading scheme has also been conducted in this research.
Tracing Sources of Nitrate in Rivers of Southern Alberta Using Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Boron Isotopes as Co-Tracers

description: The natural and anthropogenic sources of nitrate (NO3) in the Bow River, Oldman River, and select tributaries of the Oldman River (OMR) in southern Alberta were determined by analyzing a combination of δ15NNO3, δ18ONO3 and δ11B values in surface water samples and in anthropogenic nutrient end-members. The δ15NNO3, δ18ONO3 and δ11B values of surface water revealed Bonnybrook WWTP effluent has the greatest influx of nutrient load to the Bow River and downstream of Calgary agricultural return flow water is an additional source of nutrients. Decreasing NO3 loads and NO3/B ratios downstream of Calgary indicated that there are also N-removal processes occurring in this reach. The δ15NNO3 and δ11B values of the surface water in the OMR indicated a significant nutrient input by the Lethbridge WWTP effluent and tributaries displayed δ11B values heavily indicative of cow manure. Hence, boron isotopes are a useful co-tracer of nutrients in surface water.

description: Visual aesthetics of a person is the set of visual preferences that makes an image appear more favorably. Recently, research emerged that utilized visual aesthetic cues of favorite images for person identification. All recent methods have relatively low identification rates (below 73%) due to the lack of discriminative visual features. In this thesis, we resolve this problem and introduce an efficient person identification method that achieves 84% identification rate. We also introduce a discriminative visual pattern and propose a novel method for gender recognition using a person's favorite images. The proposed gender recognition method demonstrates 91.20% accuracy in distinguishing males' and females' aesthetics on a Flickr database. Applications of thesis findings to biometric research, forensics and recommender systems are discussed in the concluding section.

description: The 2004 Andaman Sea-Indian Ocean tsunami had a profound and enduring effect on communities, environment, and the overall livelihood of survivors. For impacted regions, the nature of reconstruction and recovery efforts has permanent implications for the long-term sustainability of communities and the livelihood of individuals. This institutional ethnography (IE) study assesses the sustainability of reconstruction aid and recovery in the four tsunami-impacted communities of Ban Nam Khem, Bangkaya, Thuungwa, and Khao Lak in Phang Nga province of Southern Thailand. The purpose of this study is to describe the post-tsunami landscape of recovery within these communities, and to document how survivors have experienced the processes of reconstruction, aid and recovery in their everyday world. Employing IE, the research exposes the broader influence of policies and plans created by institutions and government bodies that dictated the ruling relations of recovery within communities of focus. Analysis of data collected from February 2011 to December 2012 revealed an uneven pattern of aid and recovery not only between villages, but within villages. These patterns are delineated by divergent policies for aid and recovery that set people and communities on different trajectories in the reconstruction and recovery process. This has resulted in varying and uneven outcomes for long-term recovery both between and within communities of study. The emerging problematic within the study centres on the struggle for valuable land within the region. Furthermore, the emerging issues surrounding land and varying policies and plans for aid and recovery appear to shed light on fundamental flaws in reconstruction policies as a top down approach, while revealing the benefits of a grass-roots approach to reconstruction, aid, and recovery cultivated through non-governmental organization support, and enacted by people within the community. The overall outcomes and assessment of sustainable development in the reconstruction and aid recovery are discussed as are recommendations regarding how they can be linked to broader global and domestic forces impacting recovery. It is hoped that this study will not only help the people of the selected communities better understand the policies and processes that dictated the reconstruction and recovery effort in their communities, but also allow for NGOs and levels of government to understand more effective ways to rebuild communities following a disaster.

description: We report Raman signatures of electronic topological transition (ETT) at 3.6 GPa and rhombohedral (α-Bi2Te3) to monoclinic (β-Bi2Te3) structural transition at ~ 8 GPa. At the onset of ETT, a new Raman mode appears near 107 cm-1 which is dispersionless with pressure. The structural transition at ~ 8 GPa is marked by a change in pressure derivative of A1g and Eg mode frequencies as well as by appearance of new modes near 115 cm-1and 135 cm-1. The mode Grüneisen parameters are determined in both the α and β-phases.
Role of Type IV Pili in the Pathogenesis of Enterovirulent Bacteria

description: Type IV pili (T4P) are filamentous structures formed by polymerization of thousands of pilin subunits. They are involved in diverse bacterial functions including twitching motility, DNA uptake, phage attachment, and adherence to biotic and abiotic surfaces. In some bacterial models, T4P are virulence factors involved in host cell adherence. Besides the major structural pilin subunit, T4P possess minor pilin-like proteins. T4P are expressed in many Gram-negative bacteria and were recently found in Gram-positive bacteria. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) are two enterovirulent bacteria that cause diarrhoeagenic illness by different mechanisms. EPEC express T4P called Bundle forming pili (BFP) that are involved in the initial adherence of the bacteria to host-cells. C. difficile has the genes required for T4P but their expression or function are unknown. In my study I used a combination of genetic and imaging techniques to investigate T4P expressed by both EPEC and C. difficile. In EPEC, I investigated the role of three pilin-like proteins BfpI, BfpJ, and BfpK in the BFP structure and function. I found that all three proteins are co-assembled in BFP. I also found that BfpI is involved in EPEC adhesion to HEp-2 cells since the phenotype of localized adherence was lost in EPEC expressing BFP without BfpI. I also found that BfpJ is involved in regulating pilus extension since BFP lacking BfpJ forms only short pilus structures. Finally, although BfpK is co-assembled with BfpA within the pilus filament, I could not detect any phenotypic differences between BfpK-deficient and wild-type BFP. In the study involving C. difficile I found growing conditions, which allowed the bacteria to express T4P bundles in the hypervirulent R20291 strain. I then used pilin and pilin-like mutants to discover that only PilA1 and PilU proteins are essential for pilus expression in C. difficile and that PilA1 and PilJ proteins are present within the pilus filament. Furthermore, searching for a role of T4P in colonization, I found that C. difficile T4P is not involved, at least in mice, since there was no difference between wild-type and T4P mutant strains in infecting mice.
