Development of "AlarmLocator" --- A computerized model for predicting the optimum number, location, and power level of acoustic warning devices in noisy work plants
Creators: name: Al Osman, Rida
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: Acoustic warning signals are necessary to promptly alert workers of events which can compromise safety. Failure to react to warning signals can increase the risk of accidents in the workplace. Unfortunately, the use of warning signals in industry is poorly regulated and submitted to intuitive installation practices, often with little regard to the many factors contributing to an efficient use. This research presents the development of a new software tool called "AlarmLocator" to automate the process of installing auditory warning devices in a given setting, in terms of the characteristics of the devices to use and their optimal location in the plant. The software tool, when use in combination with psychoacoustic model "Detectsound" (Zheng et al., 2006), produces a solution to two practical installation problems: (1) selecting a suitable number of warning devices and acoustic power for a given work area, and (2) specifying the location of the devices in the plant in such a way that the signals emitted are clearly audible by all workers at all workstations. Thus, a solution to the problem of installing warning devices is provided in a format that can be easily understood and used in the workplace. A simple hybrid method, combining the mirror image technique and the classical room acoustics theory was used in this research to compute the sound pressure level generated by acoustic alarm devices. The former technique accounts for wall-placement directivity effects by using a relatively low order of virtual sources to simulate early reverberation. The classical theory of room acoustics is used for late reverberation. The method only requires specification of the overall room dimensions and the estimated or measured reverberation time; however it is currently limited to rectangular-shaped rooms. It was validated in a classroom at the University of Ottawa to verify that sound pressure level predictions by "AlarmLocator" would provide realistic solutions of optimal installation of acoustic warning devices in the workplace. The validation was carried out over 125 arrangements (source, receiver, frequency) and average errors of 0.15 and 2.2 dB were noted for estimated and measured reverberation time conditions. This is well within the design range (13 dB) for the warning sound level window under "Detectsound". [Work funded by a research grant provided by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (Ontario)].

description: In order to understand the hormonal factors affecting dormancy in grape seeds, studies were conducted on the endogenous auxins, inhibitcrs and gibberellin-like substances in the seeds stored moist at 5° C and at room temperature .The results show that moist after-ripening at 5° C resulted in an increase in the amount of growth promoting substances similar to auxins, in the extracts of chilled seeds. No correlation was observed between the content of inhibitor and dormancy in grape seeds. The extracts of neither chilled nor non-chilled seeds showed the presence of gibberellin-like substances when tested on D5 dwarf maize mutant plants. In the light of these findings, it is proposed that an increased synthesis of growth promoting substances during stratification may be one of the factors responsible for the termination of dormancy and resumption of germination of grape seeds.

description: Sap transmission of virus was obtained from grapevines attacked by D. I. to herbaceous species of Ch. quinoa. The percentages of positive results obtained showed a differential degree of infectious strength of the inoculum from different V. vinifera varieties, related to their susceptibility to this virus disease. We have also noticed a differential degree of the infectious strength of the sap taken from an infected vine and from cuttings. The material taken from cuttings was either used directly or after having endured a low temperature treatment and was then used for the inoculations.

description: β-Phenethanol and n-hexanol were measured by gas chromatography in a wide range of commercial and experimental wines. Commercial wines ranged from 5 to 74 ppm β-phenethanol and 1.3 to 12 ppm n-hexanol. Dry red wines and fino sherries were high in p'-phenethanol, and ports, muscats (both sweet dessert wines) and dry red wines were high in n-hexanol. The strain of yeast strongly influenced formation of β-phenethanol. Mean yields by eight yeasts (Saccharomyces) during fermentation of grape juices from three varieties of Vitis vinifera under comparable conditions ranged from 5.6 to 20 ppm. The strain of yeast had little effect on amounts of n-hexanol in the wines. Varieties of V. vinifera differed in amounts of β-phenethanol and n-hexanol formed in the wines made therefrom, irrespective of the yeast strain used. Wines made from Shiraz (Syrah) grapes were characterised by high levels of fi-phenethanol in comparison with white grape varieties examined. The year of vintage influenced amounts of β-phenethanol in wines, and the soil type and viticultural area also effected the amounts of both β-phenethanol and n-hexanol formed. More β-phenethanol was formed by fermentation at 15° C and 25° C than at 35° C, and more was formed at pH 3.5 and 4.0 than at pH 3.0. n-Hexanol content was not influenced significantly by either temperature of fermentation or pH of the must. Addition of β-phenylalanine to the must resulted in formation of more β-phenethanol by fermentation, and the mechanism of formation of both β-phenethanol and n-hexanol is discussed . Taste thresholds were measured as minimum detectable differences in a Riesling dry white wine. Values for different tasters ranged from 30 to > 200 ppm for β-phenethanol (10 tasters) and 4 to > 30 ppm for n-hexanol (9 tasters). Added β-phenethanol, but not n-hexanol, was considered to improve the quality of the wine.

Novel sulphur-linked AFGP analogues: Synthesis and evaluation of antifreeze activity
Creators: name: Campbell, Wendy
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: Antifreeze Glycoproteins (AFGPs) are peptide based compounds found in various organisms. They are a subclass of Biological antifreezes which are especially important for fish that live in polar waters; they inhibit the growth of ice and are thus keys to the survival of these organisms. The mechanism by which these compounds inhibit ice growth is regarded as absorption-inhibition at the macromolecular level. However the mechanism of action on the molecular level is widely debated among researchers. The Ben lab has been designing AFGP analogues possessing enhanced chemical stability and biological activity for the purpose of structure activity studies. One of the most stable and potent analogues are the C-linked AFGP analogues. To improve our understanding of the effect of the nature of the atom at the anomeric position, a series of analogues possessing a sulphur atom at that position have been synthesized. The requisite glycosylated building blocks were synthesized via a modified protocol developed by Chi-Huey Wong and coworkers. The resulting building blocks were then assembled into antifreeze glycoprotein analogues using an automated solid phase synthesizer. These analogues were evaluated for antifreeze-specific activity; recrystallization inhibition (RI), thermal hysteresis (TH) and dynamic ice shaping (DIS). None of the analogues showed thermal hysteresis activity and one showed weak dynamic ice shaping properties. The results from the IRI assay showed that the substitution of an electronegative atom at the anomeric position greatly reduces IRI activity. This follows a trend that was seen previously where the substitution of oxygen at the anomeric position also results in loss of activity. These results suggest that an anomeric carbon is necessary for optimal IRI activity within these systems and that is quite likely that the anomeric effect plays an important role in the loss of activity seen when an electronegative atom is present. These results are outlined in this thesis and provide us with important information towards a unified understanding of the mechanism of action of these compounds.

Experimental analysis of oligonucleotide microarray design criteria to detect deletions by comparative genomic hybridization

Year: 2016

description: Background: Microarray comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is currently one of the most powerful techniques to measure DNA copy number in large genomes. In humans, microarray CGH is widely used to assess copy number variants in healthy individuals and copy number aberrations associated with various diseases, syndromes and disease susceptibility. In model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) the technique has been applied to detect mutations, primarily deletions, in strains of interest. Although various constraints on oligonucleotide properties have been suggested to minimize non-specific hybridization and improve the data quality, there have been few experimental validations for CGH experiments. For genomic regions where strict design filters would limit the coverage it would also be useful to quantify the expected loss in data quality associated with relaxed design criteria. Results: We have quantified the effects of filtering various oligonucleotide properties by measuring the resolving power for detecting deletions in the human and C. elegans genomes using NimbleGen microarrays. Approximately twice as many oligonucleotides are typically required to be affected by a deletion in human DNA samples in order to achieve the same statistical confidence as one would observe for a deletion in C. elegans. Surprisingly, the ability to detect deletions strongly depends on the oligonucleotide 15-mer count, which is defined as the sum of the genomic frequency of all the constituent 15-mers within the oligonucleotide. A similarity level above 80% to non-target sequences over the length of the probe produces significant cross-hybridization. We recommend the use of a fairly large melting temperature window of up to 10°C, the elimination of repeat sequences, the elimination of homopolymers longer than 5 nucleotides, and a threshold of -1 kcal/mol on the oligonucleotide self-folding energy. We observed very little difference in data quality when varying the oligonucleotide length between 50 and 70, and even when using an isothermal design strategy. Conclusion: We have determined experimentally the effects of varying several key oligonucleotide microarray design criteria for detection of deletions in C. elegans and humans with NimbleGen's CGH technology. Our oligonucleotide design recommendations should be applicable for CGH analysis in most species.

description: Longtemps les militantes féministes ont exigé une meilleure prise en compte de l'égalite entre les sexes dans les programmes de développement des pays du Sud. Il semble que leurs efforts aient porté des fruits. De nos jours, de la Banque mondiale en passant par les Objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement, les acteurs, les engagements et les stratégies de développement se disent soucieux de l'égalité entre les sexes. Il convient toutefois de s'interroger à savoir comment ces derniers entendent l'égalité entre les sexes. En effet, leur conception correspond-elle à celle garantie par les instruments juridiques internationaux? Cette étude propose une analyse comparative de la norme d'égalité entre les sexes en droit international des droits de la personne et dans le champ du développement international. À l'aide d'une étude de cas qui porte sur les États de l'Afrique francophone, l'auteure explore comment ces derniers intègrent l'égalité entre les sexes dans les documents de stratégies de réduction de la pauvreté (DSRP) et dans les rapports du Mécanisme africain d'évaluation par les pairs (MAEP), associé au Nouveau partenariat pour le développement de l'Afrique (NEPAD).

description: Monitoring mobility at home and in the community, and understanding the environment and context in which mobility occurred, is essential for rehabilitation medicine. This thesis introduces a Wearable Mobility Monitoring System (WMMS) for objective measurement of community mobility. This prototype WMMS was created using a smartphone-based approach that allowed for an all-in-one WMMS. The wearable system is worn freely on a person's belt, like a normal phone. The WMMS was designed to monitor a user's mobility state and to take a photograph when a change-of-state was detected. These photographs are used to identify the context of mobility events (i.e., using an elevator, walking up/down stairs, type of walking surface). Mobility evaluation using the proposed WMMS was performed on five able-bodied subjects. System performance for detecting changes-of-state and the ability to identify context from the photographs was analyzed. The WMMS demonstrated good potential for community mobility monitoring.

RACK1 genes regulate plant development with unequal genetic redundancy in Arabidopsis
Creators: name: Guo, Jianjun

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2015

description: Background. RACK1 is a versatile scaffold protein in mammals, regulating diverse developmental processes. Unlike in non-plant organisms where RACK1 is encoded by a single gene, Arabidopsis genome contains three RACK1 homologous genes, designated as RACK1A, RACK1B and RACK1C, respectively. Previous studies indicated that the loss-of-function alleles of RACK1A displayed multiple defects in plant development. However, the functions of RACK1B and RACK1C remain elusive. Further, the relationships between three RACK1 homologous genes are unknown. Results We isolated mutant alleles with loss-of-function mutations in RACK1B and RACK1C, and examined the impact of these mutations on plant development. We found that unlike in RACK1A, loss-of-function mutations in RACK1B or RACK1C do not confer apparent defects in plant development, including rosette leaf production and root development. Analyses of rack1a, rack1b and rack1c double and triple mutants, however, revealed that rack1b and rack1c can enhance the rack1a mutant's developmental defects, and an extreme developmental defect and lethality were observed in rack1a rack1b rack1c triple mutant. Complementation studies indicated that RACK1B and RACK1C are in principle functionally equivalent to RACK1A. Gene expression studies indicated that three RACK1 genes display similar expression patterns but are expressed at different levels. Further, RACK1 genes positively regulate each other's expression. Conclusion These results suggested that RACK1 genes are critical regulators of plant development and that RACK1 genes function in an unequally redundant manner. Both the difference in RACK1 gene expression level and the cross-regulation are likely the molecular determinants of their unequal genetic redundancy.
Energy storage dynamics in breeding Arctic seabirds

Subjects: subject: Biology, Ecology.

description: This thesis describes investigations into the energy store (defined as the size of lipid stores) dynamics in breeding Arctic seabirds. The first chapter compares three species feeding at similar trophic levels but with different life history, physiological and foraging strategies, and breeding strategies. They managed their stores differently during poor environmental conditions. Though lipids were the primary tissue driving changes in body composition in Thick-billed Murres and Northern Fulmars, lean tissues were most dynamic in Black-legged Kittiwakes. Chapter two presents a method for evaluating the size of lipid stores non-lethally in Thick-billed Murres and Northern Fulmars using plasma fatty acid composition and concentration. Traditional (morphometric) tools had less predictive ability (especially for Thick-billed Murres) than plasma fatty acids. In Chapter three, I show that the plasma fatty acid signatures of Thick-billed Murres breeding at low and high Arctic colonies differ; likely an effect of differing diets. In addition, the concentration of plasma fatty acids increases during the breeding season, and is highest during chick-rearing. It is proposed that this may reflect a greater need for metabolic fuels as chick-rearing is likely the period of greatest energy expenditure. In Chapter four, the results of an egg replacement study are presented. Thick-billed Murres were made to lay a replacement egg following the removal of the first laid egg. The fatty acid signatures of the female and male plasma and of the first and replacement eggs were identified. Fatty acid signatures of eggs were highly conserved and those fatty acids found in the highest concentration in eggs were depleted in females after laying the replacement egg. In addition, from comparisons of the fatty acid signatures of eggs and potential prey species, I suggest that local sources of fatty acids could be utilised for the production of the replacement egg. In Chapter five, the way in which breeding adults manage an increase in the cost of diving is examined. In two experiments, conducted during two breeding seasons, the chick growth and plasma fatty acid concentrations of handicapped versus control adults were compared. Generally, adults passed on the increase in cost of diving to their chicks as chick mass gain was significantly less in some of the treatment groups. In addition, a feeding watch study suggests that this was because handicapped adults fed their chicks less frequently than control groups. This thesis represents the most physiologically intensive studies that have been conducted to date on wild breeding auks and is presented in the context of the potential effects of environmental change.

description: By focusing on biblical texts, the Western history of translation has favoured Jewish, Catholic and Protestant traditions. For the first time this study analyses the debates on liturgical translation that took place in the Russian Orthodox Church, where services of liturgical prayer remain in Church Slavonic. An examination of the reasons put forward by the Church to justify its refusal to translate leads to an analysis of the opposing viewpoints of the traditionalists and reformers throughout Russian history. The debates from the end of the XIXth century through the XXth century are at the centre of the thesis, but they are rooted in three great polemics that have deeply influenced the history of the Russian Church over the last twelve centuries. These were the disputes between Cyril and Methodius and the German clergy in the IXth century, between Maxim the Greek and the Russian clergy in the XVI th century, and finally between the Patriarch Nikon and the Old Believers in the XVIIth century. The debates of the traditionalists and the reformers can be summarized by the following dilemma: should religion adapt itself to the people (primacy of comprehensibility) or should the people rise to the level of their religion (primacy of divine mystery conveyed by hieratic language)? While the traditionalists call for patient sobriety and prudence, the reformers plead in favour of more active participation of the laity in liturgical life. The philological and theological arguments underlying the two positions are evaluated from the perspective of the particularities of the Orthodox liturgy and show the complex and sometimes contradictory nature of the problem. In order to shed light on the debate, the study calls upon the experience of the Evangelical Church of Germany (1974 NT-translation of the Luther-Bible for liturgical use) and of the Catholic Church (consequences of the liturgical movement of the Second Vatican Council, particularly its linguistic aspect), which chose to translate their liturgies into the vernacular, opting for the argument of comprehensibility. This study suggests possible solutions to this longstanding debate and should contribute to enrich the field of translation of sacred texts by offering an original perspective on the Orthodox tradition, to which European and North American specialists in translation have paid little interest.

description: Nous nous sommes proposé d'examiner dans le présent travail un double objet. Le premier touche la définition d'un cadre interprétatif capable de restituer une certaine cohésion méthodologique aux Pensées de Pascal---à travers, notamment, deux usages pascaliens de la notion de probabilité. Un premier usage est discerné dans la tentative pascalienne de dégager des éléments d'évidence capables de conférer un certain degré de vraisemblance à la religion chrétienne---en une démarche qui nourrit quelque rapport avec le probabilisme des casuistes: nous examinons à cette occasion le rapport complexe et conflictuel de la pensée pascalienne vis-a vis de cette doctrine morale. Les Pensées mettent en oeuvre une seconde notion de la probabilité, qui réfère au sens moderne de ce mot. Ainsi Pascal investit-il, au fragment 418 des Pensées (ou "pari de Pascal") un calcul de probabilité, démontrant qu'il est plus avantageux de tenir pour la probabilité de l'existence de Dieu qu'en faveur de la probabilité contraire. Ces deux usages pascaliens de la probabilité définissent une unité thématique de la méthode de l'apologie. En effet, il s'agit toujours d'initier à un abord rationnel de l'aléa qui permette la décision. En outre, les deux procédés se complètent matériellement. La où le pari démontre l'avantage qu'il y a à parier pour Dieu, le "probabilisme" tente d'assurer que cette probabilité de l'existence de Dieu est la plus sure, au regard de probabilités concurrentes. Ce cadre interprétatif établi, nous évaluons ce double procédé de l'apologie au regard de ses objectifs: ramener les incrédules à la religion chrétienne---second objet du présent travail. Quant au procédé le plus déterminant de l'apologie (celui du fragment 418 des Pensées), force est de constater qu'il échoue à persuader, y compris ceux qui en admettent la validité et le caractère démonstratif. Sans ecarter les explications qui attribuent cet échec de l'argument à la subjectivité du joueur (celui-ci ne perçoit pas l'avantage defini par la règle), nous contestons en revanche leur statut de justifications exclusives. Nous proposons une hypothèse alternative, qui met l'échec du pari en rapport avec une difficulté plus générale des arguments philosophiques importants (d'ordre métaphysique, notamment), touchant leur capacité à persuader.

description: В предложенной статье различные подходы к толкованию 24 главы Евангелия от Матфея, пророческой беседы Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, в которой раскрываются некоторые моменты будущих событий израильского народа и более отдаленных событий, завершающих всю человеческую историю. Речь Христа, обращенная к ученикам, представляется наиболее затруднительной для объяснения и истолкования экзегетами на протяжении всей истории Христианской Церкви. Этому свидетельствуют различные подходы к объяснению некоторых мест этой пророческой беседы.

description: The world is more connected now than ever due to globalization and digitalization efforts, which means that translators are faced with an increased chance of the occurrence of ideological manipulation. Ideological manipulation is strongly integrated into audiovisual translation (AVT) given its complex nature. This research investigates the religious ideological manipulation which occurred in the two versions of the movie Bilal: A New Breed of Hero, each telling the same yet different story. Leaning on the functionalist approach and the Skopos Theory is specific, the results showed differences between the two versions of the movie were attributed to the difference in the religious message and the target audience. The English version lacked all attributes of religious references, some of which were proper names which were strongly connected to the Islamic religion.

description: Настоящая статья посвящена научному наследию протоиерея Феодора Александровича Голубинского, выпускника Костромской духовной семинарии, профессора философии Московской духовной академии. Главными чертами Феодора Александровича являются такие христианские добродетели, как кротость и смирение. В нем сочетались глубокая вера и упование на Промысл Божий с глубоким научным знанием, а также тонкостью и гибкостью ума, благодаря чему он и смог стать основателем русской «православной философии». Однако именно господствовавшее в характере Ф.А. Голубинского смирение стало причиной того, что после него осталось исключительно малое количество произведений. С статье представлена история публикации и краткое описание научных трудов Феодора Александровича, приведен перечень его научных статей, дана краткая характеристика неопубликованного архива протоиерея Ф.А.

Fighting addiction's death row: British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Ian Pitfield shows a measure of legal courage

description: The art in law, like medicine, is in its humanity. Nowhere is the humanity in law more poignant than in BC Supreme Court Justice Ian Pitfield's recent judgment in the legal case aimed at protecting North America's only supervised injection facility (SIF) as a healthcare program: PHS Community Services Society versus the Attorney General of Canada. In order to protect the SIF from politicization, the PHS Community Services Society, the community organization that established and operates the program, along with two people living with addiction and three lawyers working for free, pro bono publico, took the federal government of Canada to court. The courtroom struggle that ensued was akin to a battle between David and Goliath. The judge in the case, Justice Pitfield, ruled in favour of the PHS and gave the Government of Canada one year to bring the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) into compliance with the country's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. If parliament fails to do so, then the CDSA will evaporate from enforceability and law in June of 2009. Despite the fact that there are roughly twelve million intravenous drug addiction users in the world today, politics andprejudice oards harm reduction are still a barrier to the widespread application of the "best medicine" available for serious addicts. Nowhere is this clearer than in the opposition by conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his faithful servant, federal health minister Tony Clement, towards Vancouver's SIF ("Insite"). The continued angry politicization of addiction will only lead to the tragic loss of life, as addicts are condemned to death from infectious diseases (HIV & hepatitis) and preventable overdoses. In light of the established facts in science, medicine and now law, political opposition to life-saving population health programs (including SIFs) to address the effects of addiction is a kind of implicit capital punishment for the addicted. This commentary examines the socio-political context of the legal case and the major figures that contributed to it. It reviews Justice Pitfield's ruling, a judgment that has brought Canada one step closer to putting a stop to addiction's death row where intravenous drug users are needlessly, for political and ideological reasons alone, forced to face increased risks of death due to AIDS, hepatitis and overdose.

description: Background. Few Canadian studies have examined stress in residency and none have included a large sample of resident physicians. Previous studies have also not examined well-being resources nor found significant concerns with perceived stress levels in residency. The goal of "The Happy Docs Study" was to increase knowledge of current stressors affecting the health of residents and to gather information regarding the well-being resources available to them. Findings A questionnaire was distributed to all residents attending all medical schools in Canada outside of Quebec through the Canadian Association of Internes and Residents (CAIR) during the 2004–2005 academic years. In total 1999 resident physicians responded to the survey (35%, N = 5784 residents). One third of residents reported their life as "quite a bit" to "extremely" stressful (33%, N = 656). Time pressure was the most significant factor associated with stress (49%, N = 978). Intimidation and harassment was experienced by more than half of all residents (52%, N = 1050) with training status (30%, N = 599) and gender (18%, N = 364) being the main perceived sources. Eighteen percent of residents (N = 356) reported their mental health as either "fair" or "poor". The top two resources that residents wished to have available were career counseling (39%, N = 777) and financial counseling (37%, N = 741). Conclusion Although many Canadian resident physicians have a positive outlook on their well-being, residents experience significant stressors during their training and a significant portion are at risk for emotional and mental health problems. This study can serve as a basis for future research, advocacy and resource application for overall improvements to well-being during residency.
Social cognitive theory correlates of physical activity for women approaching menopause: A MONET study
Creators: name: Perreault, Guylaine
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Women's Studies.
subject: Biology, Physiology.

description: Menopause marks the beginning of a period of life transition involving important health changes (North American Menopause Society [NAMS], 2004). It has been demonstrated that physical activity can partly compensate for some of the negative effects of estrogen deficiency (Kemmler et al., 2002). Unfortunately the majority of Canadian middle-aged women are inactive (Craig & Cameron, 2004). The years prior to the onset of the menopausal transition are an important time to modify activity levels, but very few studies have looked at the determinants of physical activity for women at this stage of their life. The purpose of this study was to investigate social cognitive theory correlates of physical activity for women that are approaching menopause. The initial methodology was based on a prospective research design. However, based on the decision to rely on a different measure of physical activity behaviour, the research design was modified to that of a cross sectional design. Within the cross sectional research design, 76 participants, enrolled in the MONET longitudinal study, completed measures of barrier self-efficacy, social support, environmental factors, moods, and exercise behaviour. Results showed that physical activity behaviour was significantly correlated to barrier self-efficacy (r = .33, p < .01) and anxiety (r = -.27, p < .05). In the light of these results, consideration should be given to the roles of self-efficacy and anxiety in the development of strategies to increase physical activity for women approaching the menopausal transition.
