description: Background: We have applied a high-throughput pyrosequencing technology for transcriptome profiling of Caenorhabditis elegans in its first larval stage. Using this approach, we have generated a large amount of data for expressed sequence tags, which provides an opportunity for the discovery of putative novel transcripts and alternative splice variants that could be developmentally specific to the first larval stage. This work also demonstrates the successful and efficient application of a next generation sequencing methodology. Results We have generated over 30 million bases of novel expressed sequence tags from first larval stage worms utilizing high-throughput sequencing technology. We have shown that approximately 14% of the newly sequenced expressed sequence tags map completely or partially to genomic regions where there are no annotated genes or splice variants and therefore, imply that these are novel genetic structures. Expressed sequence tags, which map to intergenic (around 1000) and intronic regions (around 580), may represent novel transcribed regions, such as unannotated or unrecognized small protein-coding or non-protein-coding genes or splice variants. Expressed sequence tags, which map across intron-exon boundaries (around 300), indicate possible alternative splice sites, while expressed sequence tags, which map near the ends of known transcripts (around 600), suggest extension of the coding or untranslated regions. We have also discovered that intergenic and intronic expressed sequence tags, which are well conserved across different nematode species, are likely to represent non-coding RNAs. Lastly, we have incorporated available serial analysis of gene expression data generated from first larval stage worms, in order to predict novel transcripts that might be specifically or predominantly expressed in the first larval stage. Conclusion We have demonstrated the use of a high-throughput sequencing methodology to efficiently produce a snap-shot of transcriptional activities occurring in the first larval stage of C. elegans development. Such application of this new sequencing technique allows for high-throughput, genome-wide experimental verification of known and novel transcripts. This study provides a more complete C. elegans transcriptome profile and, furthermore, gives insight into the evolutionary and biological complexity of this organism.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 652881, adult male, collected on south Flores, in October 1896, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, but included specimens collected by Everett and Doherty from south Flores and Sumba in his new subspecies. Later, Hartert 1920: 500) designated as lectotype a male collected by Everett on south Flores in October 1896. There are two such specimens; however, AMNH 652881 bears a Rothschild type label and Everett’s label is marked ‘‘ Type’ ’ in Hartert’s hand, showing Hartert’s intent that this specimen should be the lectotype. In order to remove any ambiguity and ensure that the older literature is correctly interpreted, I hereby designate AMNH 652881 the lectotype of C. ceylonensis sejuncta. Paralectotypes are: AMNH 652882–652884, two males and one female collected on south Flores by Everett; AMNH 652885 and 652886, males collected on Sumba by Everett; and AMNH 652887–652891, three males and two females collected on Sumba by Doherty.
According to Hartert (1897d: 513), Everett made his headquarters on Flores at Nanga Ramau (or Nanga Roma) with his collectors going inland from there to a height of 5000 ft. Mees (2006: 12) gave other spellings for this locality.

description: With more than 3,000 private higher education institutions, and around 70 percent of all students in the country enrolled in them, Indonesia has a particularly large, dynamic, and diverse private higher education sector. The country’s economic and political environment can be characterized as conducive to private institutions offering academic programs. At the same time, the higher education sector in the country faces enormous challenges — especially with respect to the difficulties to uphold academic standards on a broad basis. Providing a framework for this sector — one characterized by appropriate governance structures that ensure quality — is of particular importance for Indonesia. The governance-equalizer model, a well-established tool, was used to analyze how leaders of higher education institutions view governance structures in the sector in Indonesia: A survey was conducted asking them what kind of reform of governance in private higher education institutions they would suggest in order to make the system more effective. Rectors, vice rectors, and other academic leaders shared their perspectives on the role of government, stakeholders in higher education institutions, leaders of higher education institutions, and on academics as well as competition. The most important findings were a preference for the closer involvement of stakeholders and equally strong support for competitive forces within higher education too.

description: Проблема терапии гипогонадотропного гипогонадизма остается в фокусе внимания специалистов. Продолжается обсуждение преимуществ и недостатков терапии комбинацией рекомбинантного фолликулостимулирующего гормона (рФСГ) и хорионического гонадотропина (ХГч) по сравнению с монотерапией ХГч или тестостероном. Применение тестостерона позволяет быстро и эффективно сформировать вторичные половые признаки, обеспечивает хорошую комплаентность и имеет низкую стоимость. Однако терапия тестостероном не позволяет увеличить объем гонад и, главное, не оказывает положительного влияния на фертильность. Более того, не исключена возможность негативного влияния тестостерона на репродуктивную функцию. Применение ХГч положительно сказывается на объеме гонад, но также не улучшает репродуктивный прогноз. Комбинированная терапия рФСГ и ХГч потенциально способна улучшать фертильность, однако формирование андрогензависимых признаков происходит медленнее, при этом количество инъекций больше, а стоимость лечения выше по сравнению с монотерапией тестостероном или ХГч. Кроме того, не решен вопрос возраста начала лечения, не отработаны эффективные схемы заместительной терапии. Представлен клинический случай лечения гипогонадотропного гипогонадизма комбинацией рФСГ и ХГч, проанализирована динамика клинико-лабораторных показателей на фоне терапии.

description: Background: Natural health products (NHPs) such as herbs, vitamins and homeopathic medicines, are currently available for sale in most Canadian pharmacies. However, most pharmacists report that they have limited knowledge about these products which have been regulated in Canada as a specific sub-category of drugs. In this paper, consumers' and practicing pharmacists' perceptions of pharmacists' professional responsibilities with respect to NHPs are examined. Methods A total of 16 focus groups were conducted with consumers (n = 50) and pharmacists (n = 47) from four different cities across Canada (Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, and Halifax). Results In this paper, we illustrate the ways in which pharmacists' professional responsibilities are impacted by changing consumer needs. Many consumers in the study utilized a wide range of information resources that may or may not have included pharmacists. Nevertheless, the majority of consumers and pharmacists agreed that pharmacists should be knowledgeable about NHPs and felt that pharmacists should be able to manage drug-NHPs interactions as well as identify and evaluate the variety of information available to help consumers make informed decisions. Conclusion This paper demonstrates that consumers' expectations and behaviour significantly impact pharmacists' perceptions of their professional responsibilities with respect to NHPs.

description: Background: The Pleiades Promoter Project aims to improve gene therapy by designing human mini-promoters (< 4 kb) that drive gene expression in specific brain regions or cell-types of therapeutic interest. Our goal was to first identify genes displaying regionally enriched expression in the mouse brain so that promoters designed from orthologous human genes can then be tested to drive reporter expression in a similar pattern in the mouse brain. Results: We have utilized LongSAGE to identify regionally enriched transcripts in the adult mouse brain. As supplemental strategies, we also performed a meta-analysis of published literature and inspected the Allen Brain Atlas in situ hybridization data. From a set of approximately 30,000 mouse genes, 237 were identified as showing specific or enriched expression in 30 target regions of the mouse brain. GO term over-representation among these genes revealed co-involvement in various aspects of central nervous system development and physiology. Conclusion: Using a multi-faceted expression validation approach, we have identified mouse genes whose human orthologs are good candidates for design of mini-promoters. These mouse genes represent molecular markers in several discrete brain regions/cell-types, which could potentially provide a mechanistic explanation of unique functions performed by each region. This set of markers may also serve as a resource for further studies of gene regulatory elements influencing brain expression.

Effect of air pressure on gas transport properties and physical aging of poly(phenyleneoxide) (PPO) membranes
Creators: name: Alsari, Alsdeg Mohamad
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: The objective of this research work is to understand the molecular mechanism involved in physical aging of amorphous glassy polymers. Free volume and segmental mobility arguments are commonly used to explain both the gas transport process and the physical aging of glassy polymers. Hence, gas permeation through glassy polymeric membranes is considered as an attractive tool to detect any time dependent changes of polymer free volume. Especially, emphasis is placed, in this work, on determining whether or not an experimental routine affects the time dependent changes of glassy polymeric membranes. In the first part (Chapter 5), permeability data of oxygen and nitrogen were obtained from air permeation experiments under different pressures using dense polyphenylene oxide (PPO) membranes of different thicknesses, after the membranes were almost fully stabilized. Opposite trends were observed with respect to oxygen and nitrogen as their permeabilities changed with changes in feed pressure and membrane thickness. Moreover, the pressure effect on oxygen permeability was reversed when the membrane was flipped upside down. Attempts were made to interpret the above experimental observations within a framework of entropy and enthalpy effect on the energy barrier for gas permeation and the change in void space in the cross-sectional direction of a dense PPO membrane. In the second part (Chapter 6), resemblance of aging curves of gas separation membranes to visco-elastic response curves was observed for all the studied membranes. Membrane aging curves consist of elastic and viscous components. It was further concluded that the elastic component of polymer relaxation was enhanced when membranes were aged at lower pressures while the viscous component was enhanced at higher gas pressures. The transition from the elasticity dominant to the viscosity dominant region occurred more quickly for thicker membranes. In the third part (Chapter 7), the effect of gas pressure on membrane aging was studied thoroughly by applying feed gas pressure continuously or by reducing the feed gas pressure intermittently. The effect of pressure on the physical aging of PPO membranes was demonstrated by monitoring the time dependence of the permeability and selectivity of the membranes. In general, gas pressure decelerated the physical aging process, especially in earlier stages of the membrane life. Also, the aging of thin membranes is greater than the aging of thick membranes, under all applied gas pressures. In some experiments, anti-trade-off effect, i.e. the decrease in the selectivity together with the decrease in permeability, was observed. A plausible explanation was proposed based on a dual gas permeation model.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Medicine and Surgery.

description: Objective: To determine the patient and physician characteristics associated with blood pressure control among older hypertensive patients in family practice, the prevalence of hypertension and the percent of hypertensive patients with controlled blood pressure. Methods: A systematic review has been performed of published studies which reported an analysis of the association between patient and physician characteristics and hypertension control; Data collected in a retrospective review of patients' health records in 28 family practices and a questionnaire for the participating family physicians has been analyzed. Hierarchical logistic modeling has been conducted to determine the predictors for blood pressure control. Results: More than half of the patients were hypertensive. Among hypertensive patients, almost half had their blood pressure under control. The predictors for good blood pressure control were male gender, presence of cardiovascular disease or nephropathy, less than five blood pressure readings/year and young age of the physician. Diabetes predicted poor blood pressure control. Conclusion: Although blood pressure control has improved considerably, more than half of hypertensive patients remain poorly controlled. Selected patient characteristics and physician practice behavior and characteristics were predictors of the blood pressure control.

description: Background: Currently there are no direct estimates of mortality reduction afforded by coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) that take into account the deaths among patients for whom coronary revascularization was indicated but who did not undergo the treatment. The objective of this analysis was to compare survival after the treatment decision between patients who underwent CABG and those who remained untreated. Methods We used a population-based registry to identify patients with established coronary artery disease who were to undergo first-time isolated CABG. We measured the effect of surgical revascularization on survival after the treatment decision in two cohorts of patients categorized by symptoms, coronary anatomy, and left ventricular function. Results One in 10 patients died during the five years after treatment decision. The hazard of death among patients who underwent CABG was 51 percent of that for the untreated group, the adjusted hazard ratio was 0.51 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.43 to 0.61). The effect was stronger when CABG was performed within the recommended time: adjusted hazard ratios were 0.43 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.35 to 0.53) and 0.58 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.48 to 0.70) for early and late intervention, respectively; chi-square for the difference between hazard ratios was 12.2 (P < 0.001). Conclusion Estimates that account for patients who died before they could undergo a required CABG indicate a significant survival benefit of performing early surgical revascularization even for patients registered to undergo the operation on the non-urgent basis.

description: While unprotected sexual intercourse and the use of contaminated injection equipment account for the majority of HIV infections worldwide, other routes of HIV transmission have received less attention. We report on a case of HIV transmission attributable to illicit drug market violence involving a participant in a prospective cohort study of injection drug users. Data from a qualitative interview was used in addition to questionnaire data and nursing records to document an episode of violence which likely resulted in this individual acquiring HIV infection. The case report demonstrates that the dangers of drug market violence go beyond the immediate physical trauma associated with violent altercations to include the possibility for infectious disease transmission. The case highlights the need to consider antiretroviral post-exposure prophylaxis in cases of drug market violence presenting to the emergency room, as well strategies to reduce violence associated with street-based drug markets.

The role of type-1 interferons during Salmonella typhimurium infection

Subjects: subject: Biology, Microbiology.

description: Type-I interferons (IFN-I) play a key protective role during viral infections, however, their role during bacterial infections remains unclear. We evaluated the influence of IFN-I signalling during infection of mice with the facultative intracellular bacterium, Salmonella typhimurium (ST). Wild-type (WT) C57BL/6J mice succumbed to infection by day 7 and death was accelerated in mice deficient in key innate immune mediators (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, iNOS-2). Surprisingly, IFN-I receptor-deficient (IFN-I R-/-) mice survived ST infection up to 35 days. Despite enhanced inflammation, WT mice displayed uncontrolled ST burden and lower macrophage numbers in the spleen, compared with IFN-I R-/- mice. In vitro, IFN-I-deficient macrophages expressed reduced levels of TNF-alpha and NO2- in response to ST and displayed prolonged survival in comparison with WT macrophages. Since macrophages play key protective roles during intracellular bacterial infections, our results indicate that IFN-I signalling during ST infection promotes the elimination of macrophages resulting in poor pathogen control.

It involves various steps. Time required for this process varied as per the complexity of structure, types of bioprinter used and the technique taken in to consideration. This technique has widened the scope of research and treatment facility in medical and paramedical fields. 3 D models prepared by this method will also enhance the better understandability about the cell and organ function. Models prepared by this technique are much more realistic and can represent the microenvironment and complexity during different disease conditions.
QoS management framework for reliable mobile ad hoc networks

subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis is primarily concerned with the design of a Quality-of-Service (QoS) management framework to enhance the stability and support reliability in the cluster-based mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). This framework is based on providing a secondary clusterhead (SCH) for each clusterhead, which we call here primary clusterhead (PCH). This SCH, which is a regular member node, is identified and assigned by its PCH to be the future leader of the cluster. The SCH will be triggered to be the PCH when the former PCH can no longer be a clusterhead. To enhance the cluster stability, this framework introduces a new protocol to reform the cluster; namely the Smooth and Efficient Re-Clustering (SERC) protocol. In SERC, since the future clusterhead is known by the cluster members, the cluster leadership will be transferred smoothly and the cluster will be reformed immediately with no need to invoke the clustering algorithm. Also, since the member nodes are associated to the cluster with its subsequent clusterheads, the cluster looks stable to the other clusters. Hence, the smooth clusterhead transfer from a node to another aims at increasing the cluster residence time, which will sustain the stability of the network, decrease the clustering communication overhead, and minimize the time spent by each node to join or to reform a cluster. To support the route reliability, this framework provides a new multipath routing protocol, which is named a Localized Cluster-based Rerouting and Resource Reservation Protocol (LC3R). In LC3R, the main route can be established through the PCH chains, while the backup route can be established through the SCH chains. This protocol intends to improve the performance of MANETs by increasing the route lifetime to enhance the network stability and by developing a reliable cluster-based routing protocol to support the QoS requirements. In this study, we describe the general strategies and structures of SERC and LC3R and demonstrate their effectiveness via analysis and simulation. This study includes a comprehensive set of performance evaluations of a MANET environment. The results show how these approaches can achieve a high packet delivery rate and a low packet delivery time with no more rerouting and reclustering communication overhead. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that proposes two clusterheads for each cluster, which is the main contribution of this work.
Periodic orbit theory of Bethe-integrable quantum systems: an N-particle Berry–Tabor trace formula

description: One of the fundamental results of semiclassical theory is the existence of trace formulae showing how spectra of quantum mechanical systems emerge from massive interference among amplitudes related with time-periodic structures of the corresponding classical limit. If it displays the properties of Hamiltonian integrability, this connection is given by the celebrated Berry–Tabor trace formula, and the periodic structures it is built on are tori supporting closed trajectories in phase space. Here we show how to extend this connection into the domain of quantum many-body systems displaying integrability in the sense of the Bethe ansatz, where a classical limit cannot be rigorously defined due to the presence of singular potentials. Formally following the original derivation of Berry and Tabor (1976 Proc. R. Soc. A 349 101), but applied to the Bethe equations without underlying classical structure, we obtain a many-particle trace formula for the density of states of N interacting bosons on a ring, the Lieb–Liniger model. Our semiclassical expressions are in excellent agreement with quantum mechanical results for $N = 2,3$ and 4 particles. For N = 2 we relate our results to the quantization of billiards with mixed boundary conditions. Our work paves the way towards the treatment of the important class of integrable many-body systems by means of semiclassical trace formulae pioneered by Michael Berry in the single-particle context.

description: This thesis proposes a new application for Field Programmable Gate Array in the acceleration of the numerical solution of differential equations. By using the FPGA as a coprocessor that can be integrated with the system main processor, certain tasks that represent a computational bottleneck can be offloaded to the FPGA coprocessor and carried out more efficiently. More specific, the domain of differential equations considered in this thesis arises during the transient simulation of nonlinear circuits. The work in this thesis investigates the various computational tasks involved in the numerical solution of differential equations. A recent approach to solve differential equations numerically has been studied that requires the computation of high-order derivatives of circuit variables (e.g. node voltages, charges) with respect to a single parameter such as time. However, complex nonlinear devices, are typically characterized by complex nonlinear functions with mathematical expressions that render such computations on conventional computing platforms very time-consuming. This thesis demonstrates that using a computational platform with hardware-enabled accelerator can speed up the task of computing high-order derivatives by at least one-order-of-magnitude. The main idea of the thesis is based on using some recently derived formulas representing the high-order derivatives in terms of the lower-order ones to configure a Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) in a tree-like structure that represent the non-linear expression. The nodes of this tree will represent common non-linear terms such as exponential or logarithmic functions, which will programmed to propagate their own derivatives from the knowledge of their "children" nodes derivatives. It is shown that this scheme has the potential of relieving the central processing unit in the conventional platforms from having to fetch the tree structure from the system memory and process it in computing the derivatives and will thus lead to significant acceleration.

description: Since taking office, China’s fifth generation of political leaders with Xi Jinping at the center has made significant efforts to rebuild the party-state. While phenomena such as (oscillating) processes of centralization and personalization have been ever present in Chinese reform politics, governance reforms under Xi Jinping display distinct features that mark a significant departure from previously observed patterns. Drawing on an institutionalist theoretical framework and data from key speeches and documents on reform decisions, our analysis discovers an approach to reform that heavily relies on overriding dysfunctional state structures by formalizing and constitutionalizing ad-hoc (informal) institutional arrangements. While this approach deeply affects the formal backbone of the Chinese governance system and deactivates elements of the post-Mao reform consensus, the Party leadership, on a rhetorical level, offers multilayered narratives of continuity in order to generate legitimacy for reform measures. These findings suggest that reform politics under Xi Jinping are not to be conceived of as just another cycle of temporary adaption but rather as directed towards a transition to a new stage in the Chinese state-building process, which also indicates the emergence a new sub-type of hybrid regimes.

 Batis molitor taruensis van Someren, 1921: 103 (Maungu).
 Now Batis molitor puella Reichenow, 1893. See Traylor, 1986: 381, and Urban et al., 1997: 584.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 649107, adult male, collected at Maungu, 03.33S, 38.45E (Polhill, 1988: 224), Kenya, on 4 August 1918, by collectors for V.G.L. van Someren. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Types of new forms described by van Someren (1921) were said to be in the Rothschild Collection. Although both male and female were described, an adult male collected at Maungu on 4 August 1918 was designated as the type in the original description. There are two adult males collected on that date, but Hartert (1928: 222), in listing the type of this form, noted: ‘‘The crown of the head of the type is almost pure black, merging into grey on the nape.’’ This is true of AMNH 649107 but is not the case with AMNH 649109, the other male collected on this date. That specimen has a less intense black crown and more gray on the hind crown and nape. AMNH 649107 is the specimen marked ‘‘Type s’’ by van Someren, and by distinguishing it from the other male, Hartert designated it the lectotype. The female had also been marked ‘‘Type’’ by van Someren, but this has been heavily scratched out and no mention of a female type was made in the original description.
The original description was based on seven specimens (van Someren, 1921: 103). In addition to the lectotype, three paralectotypes are in AMNH: AMNH 649108, male, 3 August 1918 (on the front of the label, although the date written by the collector on the reverse is 5 August 1918), AMNH 649109, male, 4 August 1918, and AMNH 649110, female, 7 August 1918, all collected at Maungu.

description: Background: Single-repeat R3 MYB transcription factors are critical components of the lateral inhibition machinery that mediates epidermal cell patterning in plants. Sequence analysis of the Arabidopsis genome using the BLAST program reveals that there are a total of six genes, including TRIPTYCHON (TRY), CAPRICE (CPC), TRICHOMELESS1 (TCL1), and ENHANCER of TRY and CPC 1, 2, and 3 (ETC1, ETC2 and ETC3) encoding single-repeat R3 MYB transcription factors that are approximately 50% identical to one another at the amino acid level. Previous studies indicate that these single-repeat R3 MYBs regulate epidermal cell patterning. However, each of the previous studies of these single-repeat R3 MYBs has been limited to an analysis of only a subset of these six genes, and furthermore, they have limited their attention to epidermal development in only one or two of the organs. In addition, the transcriptional regulation of these single-repeat R3 MYB genes remains largely unknown. Results By analyzing multiple mutant lines, we report here that TCL1 functions redundantly with other single-repeat R3 MYB transcription factors to control both leaf trichome and root hair formation. On the other hand, ETC1 and ETC3 participate in controlling trichome formation on inflorescence stems and pedicles. Further, we discovered that single-repeat R3 MYBs suppress trichome formation on cotyledons and siliques, organs that normally do not bear any trichomes. By using Arabidopsis protoplast transfection assays, we found that all single-repeat R3 MYBs examined interact with GL3, and that GL1 or WER and GL3 or EGL3 are required and sufficient to activate the transcription of TRY, CPC, ETC1 and ETC3, but not TCL1 and ETC2. Furthermore, only ETC1's transcription was greatly reduced in the gl3 egl3 double mutants. Conclusion Our comprehensive analysis enables us to draw broader conclusions about the role of single-repeat R3 MYB gene family than were possible in the earlier studies, and reveals the genetic basis of organ-specific control of trichome formation. Our findings imply the presence of multiple mechanisms regulating the transcription of single-repeat R3 MYB genes, and provide new insight into the lateral inhibition mechanism that mediates epidermal cell patterning.

description: Background: Decisions regarding the allocation of available resources are a source of growing dissatisfaction for healthcare decision-makers. This dissatisfaction has led to increased interest in research on evidence-based resource allocation processes. An emerging area of interest has been the empirical analysis of the characteristics of existing and desired priority setting processes from the perspective of decision-makers. Methods We conducted in-depth, face-to-face interviews with 18 senior managers and medical directors with the Vancouver Island Health Authority, an integrated health care provider in British Columbia responsible for a population of approximately 730,000. Interviews were transcribed and content-analyzed, and major themes and sub-themes were identified and reported. Results Respondents identified nine key features of a desirable priority setting process: inclusion of baseline assessment, use of best evidence, clarity, consistency, clear and measurable criteria, dissemination of information, fair representation, alignment with the strategic direction and evaluation of results. Existing priority setting processes were found to be lacking on most of these desired features. In addition, respondents identified and explicated several factors that influence resource allocation, including political considerations and organizational culture and capacity. Conclusion This study makes a contribution to a growing body of knowledge which provides the type of contextual evidence that is required if priority setting processes are to be used successfully by health care decision-makers.
