Technique to detect microclimatic inhomogeneities in historical records of screen-level air temperature.
Creators: name: Runnalls, K. E.
name: Oke, Timothy R.
Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 2011

description: A new method to detect errors or biases in screen-level air temperature records at standard climate stations is developed and applied. It differs from other methods by being able to detect microclimatic inhomogeneities in time series. Such effects, often quite subtle, are due to alterations in the immediate environment of the station such as changes of vegetation, development (buildings, paving), irrigation, cropping, and even in the maintenance of the site and its instruments. In essence, the technique recognizes two facts: differences of thermal microclimate are enhanced at night, and taking the ratio of the nocturnal cooling at a pair of neighboring stations nullifies thermal changes that occur at larger-than-microclimatic scales. Such ratios are shown to be relatively insensitive to weather conditions. After transforming the time series using Hurst rescaling, which identifies long-term persistence in geophysical phenomena, cooling ratio records show distinct discontinuities, which, when compared against detailed station metadata records, are found to correspond to even minor changes in the station environment. Effects detected by this method are shown to escape detection by current generally accepted techniques. The existence of these microclimatic effects are a source of uncertainty in long-term temperature records, which is in addition to those presently recognized such as local and mesoscale urban development, deforestation, and irrigation.

Application of dendronized-metal complexes on silica as catalysts for organic synthesis
Creators: name: Chanthateyanonth, Ratana
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Polymer.

description: This thesis describes a variety of synthetic attempts to prepare dendrimer-metal complexes anchored to silica. The new complexes were obtained by immobilization of a tridentate diphosphinoaryl ligand (PCP-type) palladium(II) complex onto silica and silica supported dendrimers which combine the advantages of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. They are thermally stable and they are also stable towards oxygen and moisture. These complexes show high catalytic activity for the Heck reaction of aryl iodides with styrene and n-butyl acrylate, resulting in high yields of stilbene and cinnamate ester. They are also active in the reactions of a variety of aryl bromides with n-butyl and methyl acrylate, providing para-substituted cinnamate esters in good yields. These complexes are also effective catalysts for the cyclocarbonylation reaction of 2-allylphenol yielding five- or seven-membered ring lactones in good selectivity and in high yields. In addition, these complexes can be recycled by simple filtration in air and reused with little to moderate loss of activity. In both kinds of reactions, the dendritic systems show higher activity compared to the non-dendritic systems.

description: Linear correlation analysis of complex nonlinear physical or computationally derived quantities - despite straightforward to be implemented with the help of basic numerical tools - may be far sub-optimal in assessing the actual strength of existing relationships between quantities. Moreover, in many applications not only the correlation between pairs of quantities is of interest, but also the more general correlation between a certain group of quantities and another one. Multi-dimensional nonlinear correlation analysis may offer elegant and concise ways of exploring unknown complex relationships either among set of mono-dimensional quantities or of logically connected groups of quantities. Brownian Distance Correlation (BDC) has been proven to be a powerful generalization of the classical linear correlation to detect “all kinds of possible relationships” between real-valued random variables. Within the Mastrave modelling library, a semantic array programming implementation of BDC – extended to also consider multi-dimensional analysis between groups of quantities – is here described. The implementation also offers the possibility of exploring user-defined metrics.
Resolving attachment injuries in couples: Relating process to outcome
Creators: name: Makinen, Judy A
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Social.

description: An attachment injury has been defined as a perceived betrayal, violation of trust, or abandonment in a critical moment of need. The injurious event is then used as a standard far the dependability of the other partner. Some events are obvious but other may appear trivial or exaggerated to an observer. Such events, if not resolved, can have a deleterious effect on the relationship bond and create impasses to relationship repair. Couples are often stuck in an attack-defend pattern and experience marital distress. A rational-empirical model of attachment injury resolution has been developed. The goal of this study was two-fold: First, task analysis was used to measure in-session performances to confirm that the model discriminates resolved from non-resolved couples. Second, the goal was to relate the process of change model to outcome. Twenty-four couples received 13 weeks of Emotionally Focused Therapy to work on resolving an attachment injury. At the end of treatment, couples were identified as either resolved or non-resolved. Couples were identified as resolved only if they met three criteria: (1) couples' perspective, (2) therapist perspective, and (3) a clinical judge. Segments of first and best sessions were transcribed and rated on depth of experiencing and the structural analysis of social behavior. Resolved couples were found to be significantly more affiliative and achieved deeper levels of experiencing that non-resolved couples. In addition, dyadic satisfaction, relationship trust, forgiveness and pain were good predictors of attachment injury resolution. An important finding was that the non-resolved couples had more than one attachment injury. Both groups benefited from therapy in that they experienced significantly less anxiety from pre- to post treatment.

title: Empowering PVD for corrosion protection : TiMgGdN coatings with game‐changing corrosion performance: A genuine competitor to electroplated chromium

Publisher: name: Wiley-VCH
Year: 2024

description: A novel, monolithic DC‐magnetron sputtered TiN+MgGd coating, only 3 to 5 μm thick, effectively protects steel substrates from corrosion. This achievement is due to alloying of TiN with MgGd, which not only maintains the renowned wear resistance of TiN coatings, but potentially improves it through optimized deposition parameters.
 
The key to the enhanced corrosion resistance lies in the addition of magnesium (Mg) and gadolinium (Gd). It reduces the coating's free corrosion potential, thereby mitigating the driving force for galvanic corrosion between coating and substrate. Moreover, at specific Mg to Gd ratios, a cathodic protection effect can be observed. Crucially, the presence of Gd is essential for this performance. It imparts hydrophobicity to the coating surface, reinforces a passivating layer and significantly enhances defect tolerance.
 
This discovery paves the way for a sustainable alternative to electroplated chromium or combined electroplating and PVD, offering superior corrosion protection with minimal coating thickness.

Subjects: subject: Education, Multilingual.
subject: Islamic Studies.

description: In a multicultural society, there should be a pressing need to acknowledge the cultural heritages and social variations of its members in order to validate their experiences and realities. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore how Muslim parents interpreted the influence of the Islamic culture on their children's daily lives. The study addressed this influence by examining Muslim children's daily funds of knowledge. This study also aimed to examine how Muslim parents suggested their children's fund of knowledge to be addressed in a culturally responsive pedagogical model at public schools. Muslim parents in five ethnically diverse households were interviewed, and observational notes about physical surrounding during the interview sessions were recorded. A qualitative multiple case study was designed to answer research questions and understand the influence of the Islamic culture in these households. Data was analyzed through the integration of the analysis framework adapted from Stake (2006) while using Nvivo computer software for analyzing qualitative data. Eight themes emerged from the study and allowed for a discussion on the centrality of the religion in these households, the collective cultural paradigm, and the scope of identity negotiation taking place on a daily basis. For the purpose of this study, implications to educators were incorporated into Gay's (2000) characteristics of cultural responsive teaching in order to integrate Muslim students into classroom pedagogies.

TSH signaling and cellular responses in preadipocytes and adipocytes
Creators: name: Bell, Andrea
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) action in adipose tissue remains largely unknown. We demonstrate that TSH activates protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) and p70 S6 kinase (p70 S6K) in a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent manner in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. TSH had no effect on cAMP levels, suggesting adenylyl cyclase is not involved in TSH activation of the PI3K-PKB/Akt-p70 S6K pathway. 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cell death was reduced by 29 to 76%, in serum-deprived (6 h) preadipocytes treated with 1--20 muM TSH, respectively. In the presence of 20 muM TSH, an 88% reduction in TUNEL-positive cells was observed in serum-starved (3 h) 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, as well as a 93% reduction in the level of cleaved activated caspase 3. TSH acts as a survival factor for serum-deprived preadipocytes, reducing TUNEL-positive cells and caspase 3 activation. A role for TSH may exist in adipose tissue development and remodeling. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-atherogenic cytokine, is expressed and secreted by adipocytes, but little is known about its regulation. Since an elevated TSH serum level is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor, and since thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) is expressed in adipocytes, we investigated whether TSH modulates IL-6 secretion in cultured 3T3-L1 and 3T3-F442A mouse adipocytes, and in primary cultures of human abdominal adipocytes differentiated in culture. TSH increased the secretion of IL-6 by 5-fold in 3T3-F442A adipocytes, by 2-fold in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and by 3.5-fold in human differentiated adipocytes. TSH is a novel regulator of adipocyte IL-6 secretion, providing a potential mechanism for epidemiological observations identifying an elevated serum TSH level as a CVD risk factor.

description: The unusual placement of the parapophyses on elongotated peduncles further distinguishes Brachiosaurus from other brachiosaurid genera including Giraffatitan. Late Jurassic brachiosaurid taxonomy is probably more complex than has been realized, in part because of evolution over the considerable periods of times recorded in the Morrison and Tendaguru formations. The presence of reduced tails on late Jurassic brachiosaurids is confirmed.

description: In the openings storyboard, we see figures with outstretched arms; along with the use of the butterfly stroke and the wording ‘How does a butterfly transform?’, I get a sense of both male figures, Alexandros and Costas, emerging from the process of becoming – the transformation from native Greek to Greek/Australian, Greek first, Australian second – as powerful. I see a strong desire for connection as represented through modes of transportation or travel, links to history such as the genocide of Greeks in the Pontus region in 1922 and the survival and endurance of this cultural group, and the participants’ current physical location of Melbourne, connecting to Greece whether in memory, virtually, or physically one day in the future. In terms of echoes, there are means of transportation such as planes and tension via the images of Greek locales placed amidst characteristic Melbourne elements such as trams. Finally, we see the freedom of dance juxtaposed against the dark genocide in which the human rights of Pontians were suppressed on religious and ethnic grounds by the Ottoman Turks. Movement is visible through dance, swimming, and flying.

Spiral waves on spherical domains: A dynamical systems approach
Creators: name: Comanici, Adela N
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: This thesis is concerned with the dynamics and bifurcations of spiral waves in excitable media with spherical or approximately spherical geometry (e.g. cardiac tissue). First, we study parameter-dependent systems of reaction-diffusion partial differential equations on a sphere which are equivariant under the group SO(3) of all rigid rotations on a sphere. Two main types of spatial-temporal patterns that can appear in such systems are rotating waves (equilibrium in a co-rotating frame) and modulated rotating waves (periodic solution in a co-rotating frame). The transition from rotating waves to modulated rotating waves on spherical domains is explained via a supercritical Hopf bifurcation from a rotating wave and SO(3) symmetry. The Baker-Campbell-Haussdorff formula in the Lie algebra so(3) is used to get a formula for a primary frequency vector, as well as a formula for the periodic part associated to any modulated rotating wave obtained by a supercritical Hopf bifurcation from a rotating wave. In the resonant case, the primary frequency vector of the modulated rotating wave is generically orthogonal to the frequency vector of the initial rotating wave. In the second part of the thesis, we study the effects of forced symmetry-breaking from SO(3) to SO(2) for a normally hyperbolic relative equilibrium. This is done by introducing a small SO(2)-equivariant perturbation into the above reaction-diffusion system. The relative equilibrium persists to a normally hyperbolic SO(2)-invariant manifold that is SO(2)-equivariant diffeomorphic to SO(3). The perturbed SO(2)-equivariant dynamics on this manifold are studied by using the projection onto the orbit space SO(3)/ SO(2). Depending on the frequency vectors of the rotating waves that form the relative equilibrium, these rotating waves (up to SO(2)) will give either SO(2)-orbits of rotating waves or SO(2)-orbits of modulated rotating waves (if some transversality conditions hold). The orbital stability of these solutions is established as well.

description: Neuroinflammation is initiated through microglial activation and cytokine release which can be induced through lipopolysaccharide treatment (LPS) leading to a transcriptional cascade culminating in the differential expression of target proteins. These differentially expressed proteins can then be packaged into extracellular vesicles (EVs), a form of cellular communication, further propagating the neuroinflammatory response over long distances. Despite this, the EV proteome in the brain, following LPS treatment, has not been investigated. Brain tissue and brain derived EVs (BDEVs) isolated from the cortex of LPS-treated mice underwent thorough characterisation to meet the minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles guidelines before undergoing mass spectrometry analysis to identify the differentially expressed proteins. Fourteen differentially expressed proteins were identified in the LPS brain tissue samples compared to the controls and 57 were identified in the BDEVs isolated from the LPS treated mice compared to the controls. This included proteins associated with the initiation of the inflammatory response, epigenetic regulation, and metabolism. These results allude to a potential link between small EV cargo and early inflammatory signalling.

description: Over a thousand year history, yoghurt has become one of a widely consumed product in the world. Its reputation as a healthy food has been undermined recently by concerns over the high sugar content. The majority of consumers expects and prefers yoghurts to be sweet. However, governments across Europe are calling for significant cuts in the amount of added sugar used in yoghurt production. The aim of the study was to evaluate the acceptance of low-sugar yoghurt produced by different commercial β-galactosidases by teenagers. Standardised milk with fat content 2.0% (SC Tukuma piens) was pasteurized at 95 ± 1 °C 5 min, cooled down till 43 ± 1 °C and fermented with β-galactosidase and starter YC-X11 (Chr.

Hansen, Denmark), GODO-YNL2 (Danisco, Denmark) and BrennZyme (Brenntag PolskaSp, Poland) were used. Fermented samples were gently mixed and cooled down till 6 ± 1 °C and 5% (w/w) of sugar was added to each sample. Sensory evaluation of the yoghurt’s samples was performed by teenagers (14–18 years, n = 50) at Aizputes Secondary School (Latvia). Lactose and monosaccharides concentration prior to sugar addition was detected by HPLC (Shimadzu LC 20 Prominence, Japan). The lactose hydrolysis into glucose and galactose by the use of β-galactosidase helps to increase sweetness through an occurrence of natural sugars in milk. During sensory evaluation, teenagers admitted the yoghurt with reduced sugar as sweet, significantly sweeter (P < 0.05) was yoghurt sample with Nola™ Fit 5500. The results demonstrated that it is possible to reduce sugar in yoghurt production and to gain consumer acceptance through the occurrence of glucose and galactose, but it is problematic to offer lactose-free or reduced lactose products to consumers without lactose intolerance.

description: Computergestützte stilometrische Analysen haben sich in den letzten Jahren zu einem Kernbereich der Digital Humanities entwickelt. Ihre Anwendungsfelder haben sich dabei stetig erweitert, nicht nur auf nicht-europäische Sprachen, sondern zunehmend auch auf weitere Disziplinen jenseits von ihren Ursprüngen in der Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft. Diese Arbeit erörtert die Möglichkeiten, stilometrische Verfahren für die Erforschung historischer, nicht literarischer Texte fruchtbar zu machen. Dazu wird die Urheberschaft von Urkunden aus der Zeit Heinrichs III. überprüft und mit dem bisherigen, auf paläographischen Analysen und Diktatvergleich beruhenden Forschungsstand verglichen. Besondere Herausforderungen stellen dabei einerseits die Aufbereitung des Korpus, andererseits die inhaltliche Eignung der formelhaften „Textgattung“ Diplom. Aus diesem Grund wird die Entwicklung einer geeigneten Methodologie der Kernpunkt der Arbeit sein.

description: The contiguity storyboard is an amalgamation of Greek locations such as a beach, an outdoor music festival, the Greek flag, socialising with friends and capturing the moment with our cameras: a record of memorable lived experiences. There are echoes of socialising, enjoyment, and experiences of music. There is also tension between the physical and the virtual in terms of experiencing and sharing with others, letting others glimpse our personal experiences and hobbies. There is movement in terms of people interacting at a music festival in person, taking a photograph and possibly sharing it via social media. As someone who enjoys Greek music and dance, as reflected through Smaragda’s choice of image for her Instagram portrait, we can see the happiness and elation of living in the moment during large outdoor music events, something that was banned at this point in time due to the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.

description: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a widespread pathogen, causes significant pathology in immunocompromised individuals, and chronic infection has been linked to heart disease. Since CMV infection can be controlled, but not prevented, therapeutics aimed at the virus-cell interaction would be beneficial, but CMV-host cell interactions are not well understood. Cell-free experiments have suggested a function for annexin 2 (AnxA2), which exists in heterotetrameric (p36 2p112, AnxA2t) or monomeric (p36) form, but a role for AnxA2 in productive infection of cells is controversial. In the first part of this study we followed the effect on various stages of infection of endogenous AnxA2, using inhibitory antibodies, and purified AnxA2. Anti-p11 or anti-p36 antibodies inhibited CMV production by up to 95%,immediate-early (IE72) expression by 90% and plaque formation by 50%, but 35S-CMV-cell binding was unaffected. Confirming the role of endogenous AnxA2, AnxA2t and p11, but not p36, enhanced virus production 7-fold and IE72 expression 3-fold. Interestingly, purified proteins did not alter plaque formation, whereas AnxA2t, but not p36, enhanced 35S-CMV-cell binding 3-fold, suggesting biochemical differences between endogenous and purified AnxA2. IE72 expression was enhanced 3-fold in the p36-null cell line HepG2 following p36 transfection. Co-immunodepletion, chemical crosslinking, and ligand blots suggested an interaction between p11 and the viral fusogen glycoprotein B. In the second part of this study, we investigated whether purified AnxA5 and AnxA1, which interact with AnxA2, affect CMV infection by altering AnxA2 function. AnxA1 or AnxA5 inhibited CMV production by up to 80%, IE72 expression by 60% and plaque formation by 50%. However, 35S-CMV-cell binding was unaffected. Combined AnxA5 and AnxA1 were not additive at saturating concentrations, indicating that they inhibit by a similar pathway. Inhibition was reversed by preincubation with purified AnxA2t, and by anti-AnxA2 mAbs that alone had no effect on infection. Attenuation by AnxA1 or AnxA5 was not additive with inhibitory anti-AnxA2 antibodies, implying that a common pathway, i.e. AnxA2t, was impeded. AnxA1 or AnxA5 inhibited IE72 gene expression by 80% in p36-transfected but not native HepG2. These data demonstrate that (1) AnxA2t enhances CMV infection, and (2) purified AnxA5 and AnxA1 inhibit CMV infection by disrupting AnxA2t activity.

Abstract: Background: Awareness campaigns are considered to be among effective means in addressing
tobacco use, though less effective than tax/price increases, smoke-free policies, and
advertising ban measures. We aimed to estimate whether a higher knowledge about tobaccorelated
harm was associated with the intention to quit smoking in Ukraine at a baseline level
in 2005, when no tobacco control legislation was yet adopted.
M ethods: The data from a cross-sectional survey of the Ukrainian population aged 15 and
over, conducted in June 2005, was used. Of 2,239 collected questionnaires a sub-sample of 787
smokers
was analyzed.
O utcome measure was the expressed willingness to quit smoking. The determinants were
statements
regarding tobacco-related knowledge or wide spread myths. SPSS 15.0 was used
for the binary logistic regression analysis.
R esults: The level of knowledge was higher in more educated respondents, women, and in
those living in the Eastern region of Ukraine. The willingness to quit was higher in younger
age groups, men, those married, people with a low level of material welfare, and in occasional
smokers. Respondents willing to quit gave more correct knowledge answers; however, those
were mostly about linking smoking to particular diseases, while pure knowledge was not
associated with the intent to quit.
C onclusions: Many smoking-and-health statements in smokers are rather proxies for willingness
to quit than real determinants of the intention to quit. Implications: smoking-andhealth
information campaigns are not a cost-effective tobacco control measure in a country
with limited resources.
Keywords: tobacco, Ukraine, awareness, intention to quit smoking, willingness to quit.

The Influence of Foreign Bank Presence
on Lending Levels in Ukraine
Abstract: This paper aims to evaluate the impact of the presence of foreign banks on the total amount of
credits issued by banks in Ukraine. It was found out that foreign bank presence has a positive
effect on lending levels. The results also suggest that such factors as deposits and inter-bank
liabilities influence the amount of the issued credit differently. For foreign banks, deposits and
inter-bank liabilities have a higher impact on the credit level. Deposits and inter-bank liabilities
are linked more to the amount of credits issued than those spread between rates. Although
the inclusion of the years of the financial crisis period have not changed the impact of the presence
of foreign banks on the total amount of credits issued by Ukrainian banks, overall the
estimated panel data model has structural break when 2008 appears in data that can be attributed
to negative developments and crisis. The established positive link between the foreign bank
entry and the credit amounts contributes to the debate surrounding the issue of foreign investors
entrance to Ukraine.
Keywords: lending levels, foreign bank, modeling, panel data models, credits, foreign direct investment.
