Pass-Go, a new graphical password scheme
Creators: name: Tao, Hai
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Inspired by an old Chinese game, Go, we have designed a new graphical password scheme, Pass-Go, in which a user selects intersections on a grid as a way to input a password. While offering an extremely large password space (256 bits for the most basic scheme), our scheme provides acceptable usability, as empirically demonstrated by, to the best of our knowledge, the largest user study (167 subjects involved) on graphical passwords, conducted in the fall semester of 2005 in two university classes. Our scheme supports most application environments and input devices, rather than being limited to small mobile devices (PDAs), and can be used to derive cryptographic keys. We study the memorable password space and show the potential power of this scheme by exploring further improvements and variation mechanisms. We believe that Pass-Go could be a solid platform for future research and study.

description: Eine Kette von Anschlägen seit 2015 zeigt, dass der „Islamische Staat“ seinen Kampf auch gegen westliche Ziele führt. Warum tut er das angesichts der überragenden Bedeutung des Projekts des Kalifats und welche Strategie verfolgt er hierbei? Die Antworten hierauf machen deutlich, dass sich Europa und Amerika wahrscheinlich auf eine mehrjährige terroristische Kampagne in den westlichen Ländern selbst einstellen müssen.

Development of aluminum-based coatings produced by Cold Gas Dynamic Spraying
Creators: name: Sansoucy, Eric
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: Cold Gas Dynamic Spraying (CGDS) has emerged as a promising coating technology able to produce coating layers for a wide variety of applications. In CGDS, fine particles are accelerated in a high velocity gas flow and undergo solid-state plastic deformation upon impact on the substrate. The distinctive feature of CGDS is that the process gas temperature is well below the melting point of the sprayed materials. The undesirable effects of high temperatures found in conventional thermal spray processes, such as oxidation, grain growth and thermal stresses, are therefore avoided. In response to the potential of CGDS, this study primarily explores and expands the range of applicability of CGDS and specifically addresses the development and characterization of aluminum-based coatings consolidated by the CGDS process. The first part of this thesis is dedicated to particle in-flight velocity measurements. Two different particle in-flight velocity measurement tools, a Cold Spray Meter (CSM) and a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system, are compared based on their operating characteristics and limitations. In the second part of this work, Al-Co-Ce, Al-5083 and Al-12Si coatings are consolidated by the CGDS process. Blends of Al-12Si and silicon carbide and a composite powder consisting of Al-5083 alloyed with boron carbide are also sprayed to synthesize metal-matrix composite coatings. A microstructural characterization of these coatings is carried out to evaluate the porosity, thickness, defects and microhardness. The adhesion strength and the fatigue strength are respectively measured using the ASTM C 633-01 and the ASTM B 593-96 tests. The relationships between the particle velocities, the coating microstructures and their properties are explained. The nozzle exit-to-throat area ratio, the gas stagnation temperature and the powder feed rate are factors that influenced the particle velocities and their effects on the coating properties are described. The effects of other parameters, such as the substrate traverse speed, the substrate surface roughness and the stand-off distance are also investigated.

description: NATO urgently needs to address a range of security challenges and threats that originate not only from the east but also from the south. The Warsaw Summit has brought relevant decisions in this regard, and more can be done in terms of counter-terrorism, stabilisation, defence capacity building, maritime secu-rity, and border control. There should also be developed a more strategic dialogue within NATO as well as with partners regarding the crisis affecting security in the Euro-Mediterranean region.

description: Bei den US-Präsidentschaftswahlen am 8. November haben die Bürger die Wahl zwischen zwei Kandidaten mit konträren außenpolitischen Ansichten. Ex-Außenministerin Hillary Clinton steht für Erfahrung und Berechenbarkeit und will Amerikas Rolle als Garanten der internationalen Ordnung stärken. Der politische Novize Donald Trump verspricht, einen Kurs des ‚America First‘ zu verfolgen und das Land gegenüber illegalen Einwanderern und muslimischen Flüchtlingen abzuschotten. Auch stellt er geltende Handelsverträge und etablierte internationale Organisationen wie die NATO und die EU in Frage. Für Deutschland und Europa dürfte ein Wahlsieg Trumps deshalb gravierendere Folgen haben als der eines jeden anderen Präsidentschaftskandidaten seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.

C-linked AFGP analogues containing beta-amino acids: Preparation, assessment and in vitro studies
Creators: name: Thapa, Indira
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: Antifreeze Glycoproteins (AFGPs) are peptide-based compounds present in the blood serum of arctic and antarctic fish. These compounds inhibit the growth of ice and are key to their survival in icy cold water. The mechanism by which they inhibit the ice growth is regarded as an adsorption-inhibition process at the macromolecular level. However, the mechanism of action at the molecular level is still under debate among researchers. Our laboratory has been designing C-Linked AFGP analogues possessing enhanced chemical and biological stability for the purpose of structure-activity relationship studies. Towards this end, a series of AFGP analogues containing a beta-amino acid in the polypeptide backbone have been synthesized. The requisite glycosylated beta-amino acids in the building blocks were synthesized via a modified Arndt-Eistert homologation. These building blocks were then assembled into antifreeze analogues using standard solid phase synthesis protocols. These analogues were evaluated for antifreeze-specitic activity that is, for recrystallization inhibition (RI) and thermal hysterisis (TH). The analogues demonstrated a significant degree of TH, dynamic ice shaping and genuine RI activity attributed to biological antifreezes. Solution conformation of new analogues was performed using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Results showed that the overall conformation is mainly random coil. In vitro cytotoxicity studies of these analogues at both physiological and cryogenic temperatures were performed on a human embryonic liver cell line. Except analogue 74, the other analogues were found to be cytotoxic and cryotoxic at high analogue concentrations.

description: Während sich Europa in diesen Tagen allen voran mit Kriegsvertriebenen beschäftigt, könnte in naher Zukunft eine weitere Welle an Flüchtlingen über die Weltgemeinschaft hereinbrechen: Bis 2050 sollen weltweit voraussichtlich etwa 200 Millionen Menschen aufgrund des Klimawandels auf der Flucht sein. Angesichts dieser Dimensionen erscheint es verwunderlich, warum im jüngst beschlossenen Klimaschutzplan der Bundesregierung viele konkrete Meilensteine und Zielvorgaben hin zu einer treibhausgasneutralen Zukunft gestrichen wurden. Offenbar wird verkannt, dass die Erreichung des Zwei-Grad-Ziels für Deutschland auch von erheblicher sicherheitspolitischer Bedeutung ist. Denn sollte die internationale Staatengemeinschaft an diesem Ziel scheitern, werden sich die bereits prekären Bedingungen in krisengeschüttelten und instabilen Regionen, beispielsweise in den MENA-Staaten, zusätzlich verschärfen – mit unmittelbaren Auswirkungen auf die Sicherheit Europas und Deutschlands.

description: Survivors of pediatric cancer should avoid smoking and heavy alcohol use due to health risks associated with intensive cancer treatments they received. Data were analyzed from a multi-centre, population-based study of pediatric cancer survivors in Canada (n=1231) and a frequency matched control group (n=1372). Logistic regression analyses showed that survivors were significantly less likely to be smokers and alcohol drinkers than the controls. Still, a substantial proportion of survivors were smokers (23%), binge drinkers (25%), alcohol drinkers (69%) and concurrent users (20%). Low education, poor life satisfaction, and high stress were the most consistent predictors of substance use. Results from the structural equation modeling analysis to describe pathways to concurrent smoking and alcohol use showed significant pathways from education and chronic stress to concurrent use in the cancer survivors. This study identifies potential risk factors for smoking and alcohol use in cancer survivors and suggests a need for preventive education.

description: Der Ausgang der im Oktober 2016 unter dem formellen Oberbefehl des irakischen Ministerpräsidenten Haidar al-Abadi angelaufene Mossul-Schlussoffensive gegen den IS ist in dreifacher Hinsicht entschei-dend. Erstens entscheidet er darüber, ob der IS im Irak, seinem ursprünglichen Stammland und seiner anhängerstärksten Machtbasis, dauerhaft geschwächt oder sogar vernichtet werden kann. Zweitens ent-scheidet er darüber, ob der Irak wieder als gemeinsame Nation von Schiiten und Sunniten zusammen-wächst oder zerbrochen bleibt. Drittens entscheidet der Ausgang der Schlussoffensive über das politische Schicksal des pro-amerikanischen Abadi, dessen Verbleib im Amt an einen Erfolg in Mossul gekettet ist. Scheitert Abadi drohen dem Irak eine neue Runde des Konfessionskriegs zwischen Schiiten und Sunniten und ein erster Krieg zwischen der schiitischen Zentralregierung in Bagdad und der autonomen Irakisch-Kurdischen Region.

description: $\rm Mn\sb2SiS\sb4$ is a synthetic Olivine in which we have discovered an exceptional temperature dependent magnetic behavior that may lead to interesting applications. A state of spontaneous magnetization was found to exist in this material, but only between 83 and 86.5 K. In order to explain this unusual magnetic phenomena, polycrystalline samples of $\rm Mn\sb2SiS\sb4$ were first prepared from the elements and studied by SQUID magnetometry in low fields, by X-ray and neutron diffraction, by electron spin resonance (ESR) and by specific heat calorimetry. This research, in which the author was a member of a team, is described. His specific contributions include among others; the debugging and extension of some of the computer programs used to analyze the neutron diffraction results, the interfacing of the Bruker ESR spectrometer to a IBM compatible computer and the development of the computer progams to acquire the resonance curves and analyze the line spectra, the analysis of the ESR results, the assembly of parts of an apparatus and the development of a procedure to measure the specific heat of small samples in the 77 to 150 K range as well as some preliminary measurements on a sample of $\rm Mn\sb2SiS\sb4.$ These contributions are emphasized in this thesis.

description: Les resultats de plusieurs etudes appuient la notion d'une relation potentielle entre le sommeil paradoxal (SP) et le traitement de l'information. La presente recherche avait pour but d'examiner de plus pres cette relation en etudiant l'activite interhemispherique (EEG) en SP durant un apprentissage intensif de langue second. Huit etudiants droitiers unilingues anglophones, 5 femmes et 3 hommes (moyenne d'age = 24 ans), inscrits dans un cours d'immersion en francais d'une duree de six semaines, ont dormi en laboratoire pendant neuf nuits: 3 nuits avant le debut du cours, 2 nuits apres le cours. Nous avons mesure l'activite interhemispherique en SP a partir de deux sites: parieto-temporal (W1 et W2) ainsi que frontal (F3 et F4). En guise de comparaison, l'activite cerebrale a l'eveil a egalement ete enregistree pendant une serie de taches cognitives; soit la relaxation avec les yeux ouverts et fermes, l'ecoute de trois pieces musicales (classique, paroles francaises et paroles anglaises), et lors de la lecture d'un texte francais et anglais. Des analyses de la variance (ANOVAs) a mesures repetees ont revele des tendances lineaires significatives () au niveau du site parieto-temporal en SP pour les 7 frequences suivantes: delta, theta, alpha, beta, beta 1, beta 2, et totale. Cex memes analyses avec les donnees du site frontal ont decele des tendances lineaires significatives ($) dans deux frequences; theta et alpha. Il ressort de l'examen des resultats que la dominance de l'hemisphere gauche, apparente au debut du cours, s'est dirigee davantage vers une symetrie interhemispherique a mesure que le cours se deroulait. Des analyses identiques a partir des donnees enregistrees a l'eveil n'ont pas decele les tendances consistantes observees en SP. Ces donnees offrent donc un appui supplementaire au lien apparent entre le SP et le traitement de l'information, et suggerent que le sommeil serait une periode privilegiee pour mesurer le traitement hemispherique d'une langue seconde. Des analyses plus approfondies en utilisant des donnees provenant des autres stades de sommeil, nous permettrons de conclure si ce phenomene est reserve exclusivement au SP.

Η χρήση ακρωνυμίων ξεκίνησε κυρίως από τις ανάγκες εξοικονόμησης χώρου, αλλά και χρόνου στο λόγο. Τα ακρωνύμια διευκολύνουν την επικοινωνία και στον γραπτό και στον προφορικό λόγο κυρίως μεταξύ ειδικών. Σ’ ένα ιατρικό κείμενο όπου η εμφάνιση ακρωνυμίων είναι πιθανή, ο μεταφραστής πρέπει να το γνωρίζει για να μπορέσει να αποδώσει τον όρο υπεύθυνα.

Η φωτογράφος Inge Prader, στα πλαίσια ενός φιλανθρωπικού Life Ball κατά του Aids στη Βιέννη το 2015, έδωσε ξανά ζωή σε κλασσικούς πίνακες του Gustav Klimt. Πρόκειται για πολύ γνωστά έργα του μεγάλου ζωγράφου, όπως η Δανάη, ο Θάνατος και η Ζωή, η Ιατρική και η Ζωοφόρος του Μπετόβεν. Η δημιουργός τους από τη δική της πλευρά, τις χαρακτηρίζει ως φωτογραφικές αναπαραστάσεις. Η πόζα λειτουργεί ανακλητικά σε σχέση με το αρχικό κείμενο ενώ την ίδια στιγμή, το χρώμα αποτελεί ένα κωδικοποιημένο εικονικό μήνυμα, λειτουργεί ως ένα κείμενο δηλαδή με δομή που έχει αυτονομία και συνήθως είναι μέρος ενός πολυσημειωτικού κειμένου. Επιπρόσθετα, μπορούμε να μιλήσουμε για μεταφρασιμότητα του σημειωτικού συστήματος του χρωματισμού. Το πολιτισμικό κείμενο που αποτελεί μεταστοιχείωση δεν θα μπορούσε να υπάρξει χωρίς το πρωτότυπο που προκύπτει από μια διαδικασία μετασχηματισμού. Η διασημειωτική μετάφραση το επαναπροσδιορίζει έτσι ώστε οι νέοι μετασχηματισμοί μας επιτρέπουν να προχωρήσουμε σε μια σύγχρονη έκδοση του αρχικού κειμένου.

description: This article explores the complexities and instructional strategies involved in teaching multilevel or multi-grade classrooms—learning environments that include students of different ages, academic levels, and abilities. It begins by defining the multilevel classroom and explaining the common reasons for its existence, particularly in rural or resource-limited settings. The article then outlines the major challenges faced by teachers, including curriculum management, differentiated instruction, classroom control, and assessment difficulties. To address these, the author presents practical strategies such as learning stations, peer tutoring, thematic learning, and flexible grouping. The use of technology, open-ended tasks, and consistent routines are also emphasized as essential tools. The article concludes that although multilevel teaching is demanding, it offers significant opportunities for inclusive and personalized education when approached with structure and creativity. This resource is useful for educators, teacher trainers, and education policymakers working in diverse classroom contexts.

description: Cemented Paste Backfill (CPB) is extensively used in underground mine operations. Several studies have been conducted to investigate the mechanical properties of CPB. However, little attention has been devoted to the thermal conductivity of CPB. The knowledge of this thermal property is vital for the design of cost-effective and durable CPB materials. This paper presents the results of a comprehensive laboratory study on the thermal conductivity of CPB. Influencing factors on the thermal conductivity of CPB were quantitatively investigated. The measurements of thermal conductivity were performed by using the KD2 Thermal Properties Analyzer. Valuable results with regards to the effects of CPB's mix components, curing time and temperature, water saturation degree on the thermal conductivity of CPB were gained. It is felt that the present study would contribute to the better optimization of CPB mixtures and the design of more cost-effective and durable CPB underground structures. Keywords.

A QoS-aware system for service composition and management on overlay network
Creators: name: Xie, HengHeng
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: The research work of this thesis is motivated by a desire to build up efficient Quality of Service (QoS) insurance framework on overlay network. With the rapid development of Service Oriented Architecture, there is a growing interest in the design of efficient QoS-aware system. The difficulties of building QoS-aware system include service addressing, service composition, service management among others. Therefore, an integrated framework needs to be proposed to fulfill all these features. Meanwhile, load balancing is also a critical issue for solving scalability problem, when achieving high performance for large scale distributed systems due to the limited computing resource in general. In this thesis, we design and implement a JXTA Message Layer based infrastructure for improving the performance and functionalities of JXTA P2P framework, which can be used for designing better SOA based systems. Furthermore, a design of a QoS-aware hierarchical service composition and management framework is proposed and implemented on top of this infrastructure. A comparison experimental study of our design with commonly used flat-based service composition and management is conducted. The result of our experiments show that our design outperforms flat-based one in term of satisfaction of user requirements. A load balancing scheme is also proposed on this framework aiming to optimize the performance of our proposed framework on large scale distributed systems. We compare our load balancing scheme with non-migration and non-load-balancing approaches, and find that our solution based on a combination of task scheduling and service migration paradigm using Genetic Algorithm is much better than the other two in terms of QoS success rate.

Creators: name: Rogers, Natasha Catherine
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study addressed a gap in the treatment and research of parenting interventions for mothers with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) by developing and evaluating a group intervention that integrates components of parenting interventions and three major BPD treatment approaches. A 12-session program was piloted with seven mothers with BPD traits. Questionnaire and interview data were collected at pre-program, post-program, and six-month follow-up. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted to investigate group, case study, and program evaluation outcomes. The results indicate that the intervention program facilitated positive changes for the mothers in parenting, the mother-child relationship, and general psychological functioning.
Translation memory systems: An analysis of translators' attitudes and opinions
Creators: name: McBride, Cheryl
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Language, General.

description: Translation memory (TM) systems are among the most aggressively marketed and widely used computer-aided translation tools. Previous studies have focused on when and how TMs are used, but there is significantly less information available relating to translators' perceptions of and attitudes towards them. The goal of this thesis is to explore translators' unprompted opinions of the issues related to TM system usage. After analyzing postings on translators' discussion boards, I propose to compare current assumptions about TM systems and their use with what translators are expressing in their unprompted opinions. I believe that with a better understanding of different perspectives and attitudes, translators can evaluate and potentially adjust their own perceptions in light of others' experience, developers and vendors can respond more accurately to users' needs, clients can better comprehend translators' concerns, and researchers and trainers can properly address the issues currently surrounding TM system usage. This thesis is organized into three chapters. Following a general introduction, Chapter I explains the functioning of TM systems and the issues surrounding their use, and then explores what is known about the use of TM systems and attitudes towards them as these are expressed in scholarly research, vendor promotional materials, surveys of practicing translators, and analyses of mailing lists. Chapter 2 provides a description of the methodology used in this project to select a primary resource, extract TM-related information, and classify the data. Chapter 3 presents a summary and analysis of the data found in the corpus. Finally, the conclusion summarizes the findings of this research and their implications for translators, vendors, clients/agencies, translator trainers, and researchers, addresses areas requiring further investigation and research, and evaluates the methodology of the project.

This article explores the theory of speech acts, focusing on their types, functions, and significance in communication. Drawing on the work of philosophers like J.L. Austin and John Searle, the paper examines the three core elements of speech acts—locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts—and how they contribute to effective dialogue. The study discusses five major categories of speech acts: assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declarations, highlighting their role in establishing social relationships, facilitating cooperation, and negotiating power dynamics. Additionally, the importance of context in interpreting speech acts is emphasized, showcasing how the meaning of an utterance can change based on the situation and cultural norms. Ultimately, this article underscores the significance of understanding speech acts for effective communication in both everyday and formal settings.

Keywords: Speech acts, illocutionary acts, locutionary acts, perlocutionary acts, communication, social roles, directives, expressives, commissives, declarations, indirect speech acts, pragmatics, politeness strategies.

description: Rectangular plates are found in most structures of modern industry. Their two-dimensional structural action results in lighter structures and therefore offers numerous economic advantages. Recently interest in rectangular plates increased due to rapid growth in electronic technology where electronic circuit boards in the form of thin rectangular plates are employed. It is well known that while a clamped boundary condition along the edge of thin rectangular plates is easy to formulate mathematically, it is difficult to achieve, even under laboratory conditions. This is due in part to the fact that some rotational elasticity is likely to be found in such supports, whether it is introduced intentionally or inadvertently. In this study, the effects of such elasticity on the free vibration and buckling of plates subjected to uniform in-plane loading are examined. Loading is applied in a direction perpendicular to a pair of opposite edges where lateral displacement is forbidden and edge rotation is opposed by a moment proportional to the degree of edge rotation. The edges running parallel to the in-plane loading are free. Highly accurate solutions are obtained by the method of superposition. Two plates are analysed; one with rotational elastic support at one edge, the other edge being simply supported and, a second plate with rotational elastic support at the pair of opposite edges. Free vibration eigenvalues and buckling loads are computed for various plate geometries, dimensionless rotational stiffnesses with various in-plane loads. It is observed that in limiting cases, eigenvalues and buckling loads agree well in comparison with those of classical cases such as pinned and clamped boundary conditions. It is also found that the edges can be given any desired value of the rotational stiffness.

description: Τόσο η ιταλική όσο και η ελληνική γλώσσα έχουν διαφορετικούς κανόνες αναφορικά με το γραμματικό γένος και επιπλέον, στην ιταλική γλώσσα υπάρχει απουσία ουδετέρου γένους. Ειδικότερα, το ελληνικό επίθετο αποτελείται από τρία γένη (αρσενικό, θηλυκό, ουδέτερο) ενώ το ιταλικό έχει μόνο δύο γένη (αρσενικό- θηλυκό), κάτι που ενδεχομένως να προκαλέσει σύγχυση κατά τη διάρκεια της απόδοσης από τη μία γλώσσα στην άλλη. Επίσης, ένας ιταλικός όρος αναμένεται να έχει παραπάνω από μία αποδόσεις στην ελληνική γλώσσα που θα έχουν και διαφορετικό γένος.

Hierarchical control of electric vehicles to support smart grids with renewable energy
Creators: name: Nguyen Tho, Ngoc Hoang
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The proliferation of distributed renewable energy sources is becoming a reality in the 21st century thanks to the increased awareness of climate change. However, due to their intermittent nature, high penetration of those alternative sources will cause a number of risks to the grids such as equipment failures and state-wide black-outs. This thesis proposes a novel solution to use on-board batteries from electric vehicles as both a demand response tool in charging mode and a temporary generator in discharging mode to smooth out the intermittency of renewable energy generation in the future grids.

description: Το πορτογαλικό κείμενο που μεταφράζεται εδώ είναι τα πέντε πρώτα οκτάστιχα από το επικό ποίημα Os Lusíadas του Πορτογάλου εθνικού ποιητή Luís de Camões, το οποίο περιγράφει το ταξίδι του θαλασσοπόρου Βάσκο ντα Γκάμα προς τις Ινδίες. Το ποίημα αυτό ολοκληρώθηκε πιθανότατα το 1556, τρία χρόνια μετά την επιστροφή του ποιητή από τις χώρες της Ανατολής και τυπώθηκε για πρώτη φορά το 1572. Η επιλογή των συγκεκριμένων στίχων έγινε γιατί αποτελούν την αρχή του έργου και δίνουν στον αναγνώστη να καταλάβει τις ομοιότητες που έχει με διάφορα έργα της αρχαίας ελληνικής και ρωμαϊκής γραμματείας: Υπάρχει επίκληση του ποιητή στις Τέγιδες (τις κόρες του ποταμού Ταγού που βρίσκεται στην Πορτογαλία) για να του δώσουν έμπνευση, κατ’ αντιστοιχία της επίκλησης που έκαναν στις Μούσες οι αρχαίοι Έλληνες ποιητές, προϊδεάζεται ο αναγνώστης ότι ο Πορτογάλος ποιητής έχει εμπνευστεί από το ταξίδι του Οδυσσέα και τέλος οι πρώτοι στίχοι θυμίζουν πολύ τους αντίστοιχους πρώτους της Αινειάδας του Βιργιλίου.

description: La mondialisation qui n'a cessé de s'accentuer depuis les années 1990 a crée, à l'échelle planétaire, une nouvelle dynamique d'échanges économiques, culturels et sociaux propices à l'émérgence d'un phénomène de transculturation. Ce phénomène, qui se définit par l'ouverture des diverses sociétés à une plus grande interaction, voire à une interpénétration des cultures planétaires, soulève certaines craintes au sujet d'une possible homogénéisation des identités culturelles locales à une identité globale. La présente thèse propose une réflexion sur les métamorphoses que subissent les identités collectives et individuelles dans un tel contexte d'ouverture à la fois à l'ailleurs et l'altérite. L'objectif de cette étude consiste donc à examiner comment, dans des oeuvres provenant des diverses regions de la francophonie canadienne (l'Ouest canadien, l'Ontario, le Québec et l'Acadie), est representé le processus d'identification des individus dans leur rapport aux identités collectives traditionnelles ainsi qu'aux nouveaux liens qui se tissent avec les diverses figures d'altérites qu'ils rencontrent. L'examen de cette métamorphose que connaissent les repères identitaires traditionnels, soit les espaces d'identification que représentent l'Histoire, les frontières géographiques, la culture d'appartenance et les liens sociaux, se fait à partir d'une analyse de plusieurs romans publiés de 1980 à nos jours et mettant en scène des personnages aux prises avec une remise en question identitaire.

Investigating acute effects of oncolytic virus infection of tumours

description: Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are selected or designed to eliminate malignancies by direct infection and lysis of cancer cells. In contrast to this concept of direct tumour lysis by viral infection, a significant portion of the in vivo tumour killing activity of two OVs, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and vaccinia virus is caused by indirect killing of uninfected tumour cells. Limited virus infection rapidly triggers a loss of tumour perfusion within the tumour core. Tumour cells within the tumour rim remain viable and are associated with intact vasculature. Transcript profiling of tumours demonstrates a pro-inflammatory gene signature with significant induction of neutrophil chemo-attractants. Depletion of neutrophils in animals prior to VSV administration eliminates uninfected tumour cell apoptosis and permits more extensive replication and spreading of the virus throughout the tumour. Tumour targeted inflammation triggers extensive intravascular coagulation which is responsible for the loss of perfusion as inhibition of coagulation results in maintenance of tumour perfusion in the context of VSV therapy. Interestingly, the remaining viable tumour rim does not expand in tumours implanted into immune competent mice. Conversely, a massive expansion of the viable tumour rim ensues following treatment of tumour bearing nude mice that possess a defective adaptive T cell response. These results suggest that outgrowth of viable tumour cells from the tumour rim following OV therapy is inhibited by an adaptive immune response triggered to target tumour cells. Taken all together, these results indicate that targeted recruitment of neutrophils triggers coagulation within infected tumour beds and enhances the killing of malignant cells. Activation of inflammatory cells may be used for enhancing the effectiveness of oncolytic virus therapeutics as well as other anticancer agents that may similarly trigger inflammation. Understanding mechanism and consequences of inflammation dependent tumour cell death is important as loss of tumour perfusion has now also been measured in patients treated with vaccinia virus.
Development of soybean seed coat as a bioreactor for the production of industrial enzymes

description: We have investigated the use of the soybean seed coat as a bioreactor for the production of valuable proteins. In this system heterologous proteins are targeted to the hourglass cells. While seed coats currently have little commercial value, the introduction of high valued bio-products may generate new markets for Canadian industries and contribute towards the growth of rural economies. The seed coat system is based upon a promoter responsible for the production of soybean peroxidase (SBP) in the hourglass cell layer of the seed coat. SBP protein is thought to be synthesized as a pre-protein containing N- and C-terminal propeptides responsible for the intracellular localization of the mature SBP to the vacuole. We used this promoter and these signals to direct the synthesis and targeting of horseradish peroxidase (HRPC) from Armoracia rusticana and two laccases (LCC1 and LCC4) from the fungus Trametes versicolor. The cDNA sequences were codon-optimized for soybean, and fused with the SBP N- and C-terminal propeptides. A HIS tag was added to the C-terminal end of the mature protein to facilitate purification. Expression of the chimeric genes was driven by the Ep 1.5 kb fragment cloned from soybean peroxidase promoter. Fourteen lines of HRPC transgenics, 16 lines of LCC1 transgenics and 40 lines of LCC4 transgenics were generated by particle bombardment. The T 1 and T2 seeds of the transgenics were screened for peroxidase and laccase activity with the highest expressing lines further analysed by PCR and Western blots. The peroxidase activities measured in HRPC transgenics ranged from 0.02 to 3.09 U/mg protein while the laccase activities measured in laccase transgenics varied from 0 to 0.099 U/mg protein. In general these values are low compared to activities measured in the native species or in other transgenics. We have found that expression of HRPC and laccase as a trait is inheritable from T0 to T2 generation. The anti-LCC4, anti-HRPC antibodies were used to detect the expression of LCC4 and HRPC by Western blotting. A 35.4 kDa protein reactive with anti-HRPC and anti-HIS tag antibodies was found in the seed coat of an HRPC transgenic while a 77.6 kDa protein reactive with anti-LCC4 and anti-HIS tag antibodies was found in the seed coat of an LCC4 transgenic. These results support the use of the soybean seed coat as a bioreactor for the production of foreign proteins. The factors which affect foreign protein expression are fully discussed and future directions have been proposed to optimize the system.
