description: Background: MeCP2—a chromatin-binding protein associated with Rett syndrome—has two main isoforms, MeCP2-E1 and MeCP2-E2, differing in a few N-terminal amino acid residues. Previous studies have shown brain region-specific expression of these isoforms which, in addition to their different cellular localization and differential expression during brain development, suggest that they may also have non-overlapping molecular mechanisms. However, differential functions of MeCP2-E1 and E2 remain largely unexplored. Results: Here, we show that the N-terminal domains (NTD) of MeCP2-E1 and E2 modulate the ability of the methyl-binding domain (MBD) to interact with DNA as well as influencing the turn-over rates, binding dynamics, response to neuronal depolarization, and circadian oscillations of the two isoforms. Our proteomics data indicate that both isoforms exhibit unique interacting protein partners. Moreover, genome-wide analysis using ChIP-seq provide evidence for a shared as well as a specific regulation of different sets of genes. Conclusions: Our study supports the idea that Rett syndrome might arise from simultaneous impairment of cellular processes involving non-overlapping functions of MECP2 isoforms. For instance, MeCP2-E1 mutations might impact stimuli-dependent chromatin regulation, while MeCP2-E2 mutations could result in aberrant ribosomal expression. Overall, our findings provide insight into the functional complexity of MeCP2 by dissecting differential aspects of its two isoforms.

The use of acid-sensitive dyes to monitor acid generation and diffusion in thin polymer films.
Creators: name: Virdee, Susan.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Physical.

description: For purposes of understanding the diffusion behavior, we have developed the dyes and the basic knowledge that will allow the monitoring of acid diffusion in thin polymer films. We believe that fluorescence spectroscopy is the suitable tool for this purpose and have used acid-sensitive probes to monitor the presence of acid in thin polymer films. The three categories of compounds that were used were: (1) aromatic monoazines; 2-phenylpyridine, 2-phenylquinoline, and acridine, (2) xanthene dyes; fluorescein and rhodamine B base, and (3) various benzothiazole derivatives. The three main objectives of this part of the research were to choose the most appropriate sensors, observe images through fluorescence microscopy and study the feasibility of monitoring diffusion through fluorescence spectroscopy. The second part of this research also dealt with photoacid generation studies in thin polymer films. In this part of the research, an in situ method for quantifying acid-generation in photoresist sample was developed. In the last part of this thesis, the toxicological properties of some of the components that are used to manufacture the photoresist compounds were reviewed. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: In recent years, policy makers in Australia and other countries, such as Canada, the UK and certain European countries, and in supranational organisations such as the European Union and the Organisation for Economic and Cultural Development (OECD) have expressed interest in social cohesion, an old concept which has been revived and recast in the light of current public policy concerns and issues. There has been over a decade of research and debate on issues such as 'loss of community' and 'decline in social capital' which indicate a fear that social cohesion has been declining and the threat that this appears to pose to social order.

description: General practitioners have an important role to play in helping patients after exposure to severe psychological trauma. In the immediate aftermath of trauma, GPs should offer 'psychological first aid', which includes monitoring of the patient's mental state, providing general emotional support and information, and encouraging the active use of social support networks, and self-care strategies. Drug treatments should be avoided as a preventive intervention after traumatic exposure; they may be used cautiously in cases of extreme distress that persists. Adults with acute stress disorder (ASD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) should be provided with trauma-focused cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). Eye movement clesensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) in addition to invivo exposure (confronting avoided situations, people or places in a graded and systematic manner) may also be provided for PTSD. Drug treatments should not normally replace trauma-focused psychological therapy as a first-line treatment for adults with PTSD. If medication is considered for treating PTSD in adults, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants are the first choice. Other new generation antidepressants and older tricyclic antidepressants should be considered as second-line pharmacological options. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors may be considered by mental health specialists for use in people with treatment-resistant symptoms.
A multi-tracer estimation of groundwater recharge in a glaciofluvial aquifer in southeastern Manitoba.
Creators: name: Cherry, Andrea J.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Hydrology.

description: The Sandilands glaciofluvial complex is believed to be a region of significant groundwater recharge in southeastern Manitoba. Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC-11, CFC-12, and CFC-113), tritium (3H) and tritium/helium (3H/3He) groundwater age dating methods were used to estimate and characterize groundwater recharge in the surficial aquifer in the Sandilands. The multi-tracer technique was used to provide comparison between groundwater age estimates and to evaluate if subsurface processes affected groundwater ages. Five sites within the Sandilands were instrumented with shallow nests (11--28 m total depth) of three piezometers with vertical spacings of 2--7 meters to determine groundwater age profiles and to estimate vertical groundwater velocities and recharge rates. Groundwater recharge was estimated at different locations in the study area to assess the spatial variability of recharge rates and to identify possible controlling factors. Piezometric and geochemical data (major ions, delta 18O, delta13CDIC) were also collected to aid in the interpretation of groundwater ages. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: The VHPS technology can be considered as a safer and more environmentally friendly method for decontamination of works of art, and environments, colonized by microorganisms (fungi, bacteria). The application of this technology allowed that: • the procedure has to be performed on site; • the procedure has to be repeated in several runs; • the procedure has to perform microbial biocide and sporocide; • the human toxicity has to be controllable (safe working environment); • the gaseous mixture has to avoid creating a cumulative chemical toxic burden; • the validation and reproducibility of the decontamination process. In the present work we put together the information coming from the application of sterilization procedure from different field such as medicine, pharmacology, nanotechnology, in order to develop new applicative protocols, particularly for cultural heritage field.

For this purpose industry can deduce realistic emission factors by developing specific Environmental Release Categories (spERCs) and documenting them in a corresponding fact sheet. The current project builds up on an earlier assessment conducted for the German Federal Environment Agency in 2010. In the current project the plausibility of emission factors and the quality of documentation was assessed for all spERCs and spERC factsheets available in July 2013. The implementation of suggestions from the former assessment was evaluated. Although the quality of spERCs has increased, there is still a need for further improvement.

description: The article focuses on the migration experience – that is not just a physical journey, but also an inward journey – driving the fragmented individual into the life rebuilding process through the writing experience. We analyse the autobiographical novel Laila by the Afro-Spanish writer Laila Karrouch, which is significant not only for the journeys that follow one another page by page and for the characters attitude, but also because it allows the reader to think about some transformations, that is to say “journeys”, to which the paratextual elements are subjected to.

description: They declared themselves to be no slaves or subjects to any leader: this is how the Chorus describes the Greeks to queen Atossa, mother of Serse in the Persian by Aeschylus. That was the symbolic sign impressed on the immediate image of European civilization from its very origins. The following eras would have been in contradiction with this starting proud declaration of psychological, and then physical independence; but today, still and again, in the precarious state of territories and geographical borders, we must remind that it is the true essence that makes us European. We can still find the deep core of this identity in the Greek devotion to an absolute rationality, to the logos of the philosophers of dual Greece – both in Athens and Italy, first in Elea and then in Rome – and that the revelation contained in the Bible – translated into Greek by seventy two learned Jews at the time of Tolomeo Filadelfo – will definitely strengthen the idea of a Creator different from what he has created.

description: In 1844, when Richard Windeyer gave his lecture on the rights of the Aborigines---to their own customary laws, their land and the wild animals---he and his views were well known. In summary, he argued they had no rights as regards those matters but an entitlement to just and humane treatment by the institutions and individuals of the new colony. When the rest of his family left for Australia in 1828, Richard stayed behind in England to complete his legal studies. He arrived in 1835 and soon was a prominent barrister in Sydney. Additionally, and relevant in the context of the lecture, he held considerable lands on the lower Hunter River, based on his property Tomago at Raymond Terrace. He was a foundation member of the Aborigines Protection Society; and from 1843 he was one of the twenty-four elected members of the newly constituted New South Wales Legislative Council. In his lecture Windeyer draws extensively on the writings of Vattel and Blackstone, to hold that property in land was derived from one having laboured on it and hence that the Aborigines had no claim to it. The argument in relation to their rights to the wild animals was similar: the animals belong neither to individuals nor societies until brought under actual domination. As to their customary laws: they were no more than 'lewd customs' which admitted atrocities, and in which settlers clearly had a right, indeed an obligation, to interfere. All of this needs to be considered in the context of Windeyer's experiences in his legal practice, his interactions with Aborigines on his properties and his work in the Legislative Council.

astrophic earthquake in 1783. However, with the new look that has acquired, it still preserves an
extraordinary charm that continues to astonish.
The project followed the trend of the critical and conservative restoration with the safeguard of the artistic
and figurative data of the “Saint Domenic” Monastery which has been analysed through an accurate
historical-critical work. The idea is to preserve and transmit to the future generations the “Saint Domenic”
monument in his authenticity, in its formal and material consistence, with the marks of the passing of
time. The abstracts reports only the most important aspects which are representative of the project.
Besides the historical analysis, laboratory examination have been executed on the material used in the
construction of the ancient facade through the observation of thin sections by optic microscope and with
the realization of spectrum of X-ray diffraction, in order to know the nature and composition, the state
of preservation and the kinds of deterioration to support an appropriate intervention of restoration.

description: We present measurements of the angular diameter distance to and Hubble parameter at z = 0.57 from the measurement of the baryon acoustic peak in the correlation of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. Our analysis is based on a sample from Data Release 9 of 264 283 galaxies over 3275 square degrees in the redshift range 0.43 < z < 0.70. We use two different methods to provide robust measurement of the acoustic peak position across and along the line of sight in order to measure the cosmological distance scale. We find D-A(0.57) = 1408 +/- 45 Mpc and H(0.57) = 92.9 +/- 7.8 km s(-1) Mpc(-1) for our fiducial value of the sound horizon. These results from the anisotropic fitting are fully consistent with the analysis of the spherically averaged acoustic peak position presented in Anderson et al. Our distance measurements are a close match to the predictions of the standard cosmological model featuring a cosmological constant and zero spatial curvature.
Quasi-Harmonic Function Approach to Human-Following Robots

Quasi-harmonic functions

description: In this thesis, an approach for robot motion control with collision avoidance and human-following is investigated. Using velocity potential fields approach in a modified, quasi-harmonic, solution, the navigation controller is developed. A quasi-harmonic function based controller uses harmonic solutions for collision avoidance and smoothly changes toward a non-harmonic solution which tends toward a zero velocity command only when approaching the goal. After the motion controller was created, human-following strategy was designed to let a non-holonomic robot have the ability to follow a human in an unknown environment with obstacles. The approach is based on velocity potential fields that permit to generate velocity vector commands that drive the robot at a safe distance with regard to the human while avoiding obstacles. The quasi-harmonic approach is investigated analytically using symbolic math solutions of MAPLETM as well as in simulations using MATLABTM. Motion simulations of both holonomic and non-holonomic robot motion illustrate how the proposed approach operates. Experiments are also made with LEGO MINDSTROMS NXT robot to test the algorithm in environment with simple and complex obstacles.
For the better or the worse? The impact of business idea changes on new venture performance and novelty
Creators: name: Burgers, Henri

description: Should new ventures stick to their knitting once they start commercialising or should they engage in frequent changes of their business idea? In this paper we argue that new ventures still need to learn their way in the early phases of commercialisation and that changes are good, but subject to two important contingencies. First is that changes should be aimed at enhancing uniqueness, which in turn enhances new venture performance. Second is that our results show that changes have limited affect on uniqueness and performance for entrepreneurs aiming at maximising opportunities, but that changing the business idea has a significant positive impact for entrepreneurs focusing on minimising losses. Our findings indicate that entrepreneurs aiming at minimising losses may offset their initial disadvantages by engaging in a series of adaptations of the business idea to gain higher performance and a more unique product offering.

description: Due to an increased environmental awareness and thus, concerns over the use of fossil-based monomer for polymer production, there is an ongoing effort to find alternatives to non-renewable traditional monomers. This has ushered in the rapid growth in the development of bio-based materials such as green monomers and biodegradable polymers from vegetable and animal resources. Glycerol, as a renewable bio-based monomer, is an interesting candidate for sustainable polymer production. Glycerol is a renewable material that is a by-product of the transesterification of vegetable oils to biodiesel. Utilization of the excess glycerol derived from the growing biodiesel industry is important to oleochemical industries. The main objective of this thesis was to produce high molecular weight polyglycerol from glycerol and synthesize stimuli-responsive polyglycerol hydrogels. The work began with an investigation of the step-growth polymerization of glycerol to relatively high molecular weight polyglycerol using several catalysts. The catalytic reaction mechanisms were compared and the polymer products were fully analyzed. High molecular weight partially branched polyglycerol with multimodal molecular weight distributions was obtained. The polymerization of glycerol proceeded fastest with sulphuric acid as catalyst as indicated by the highest observed conversion of monomer along with the highest molecular weights. Theoretical models were used to predict the gel point and to calculate monomer functionality. High molecular weight polyglycerol was used to synthesize novel stimuli-responsive hydrogels. Real-time monitoring of step-growth polymerization of glycerol was investigated using in-line and off-line Attenuated Total Reflectance/Fourier Transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) technique.

description: Abstract

Cigarette smoking and exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy have detrimental effects on the health of expectant mothers, increasing the likelihood of respiratory diseases or infections. Due to the stimulant effect of smoking, the negative effect on diurnal rhythm and sleep is also observed. Sleep quantity and quality are directly related to health and well-being, especially during times of excess stress, such as the perinatal period. This prospective study aimed to examine the relationship between cigarette smoking and exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy and sleep patterns in pregnant women. An online survey was conducted among Polish women from May 2020 to September 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants reported the use of stimulants during pregnancy and rated sleep in three categories (difficulty falling asleep, waking up too early, and difficulty staying asleep). Data from 3365 mothers aged 18-43 (mean 30.7; SD 3.87) were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. The incidence of sleep problems in pregnant women was shown to be associated with exposure to cigarette smoke (passive smoking) while controlling for a range of individual variables (age, education, place of residence, satisfaction with the woman's life, and economic situation, pregnancy complications, levels of state anxiety and depressive symptoms, trimester of pregnancy, nausea or vomiting during pregnancy, and COVID-19 infections). Interestingly, active smoking was not associated with sleep difficulties. Our results suggest that passive smoking is a potential risk factor for sleeping problems in pregnant women, especially in the aspect of waking up too early. These results are worth considering when formulating pro-health measures for pregnant women and their close ones.

order to obtain scientific data capable of elucidating the state of conservation and the painting technique.
Optical (OM) and electronic (SEM-EDS) microscopy, micro-FT-IR spectroscopy, were applied on
some microfragments whilst the two whole paintings were analyzed by the non invasive IR reflectografy
technique.
The reflectography evidenced some pentimenti of author on the canvas “Prayer of Tobias and
Sarah”, while invasive analysis made it possible to locate the stratigraphic sequence of each canvas
and to characterise the constituent materials.

description: The field of metal-catalyzed C–H bond functionalizations is an incredibly vibrant and spans beyond the formations of biaryl motifs. The introduction chapter will cover the mechanistic aspects of the C–H bond functionalization with metal-carboxylate complexes. The mechanistic facets of this reaction will be the main conducting line between the different sections and chapters of the first part of this thesis. In the second chapter, will be described additives that can readily promoted C–H bond arylation of poorly reactive substrates. More specifically, we will revisit the intramolecular direct arylation reaction we will demonstrate the effect of pivalic acid as a co-catalyst by developing milder reaction conditions. In the third chapter we be described experimental and computational studies which suggested that the a single pathway might be involved in the palladium-catalyzed C–H bond functionalization of a wide range of (hetero)arene. Following this we will describe a general set of conditions for the direct arylation of wide range of heteroarenes. Also, we will present two different strategies to selectively and predictably arylate substrates containing multiple functionalizable C–H bonds. In the fourth chapter will be presented our efforts toward the development of new C–H bond functionalization methods in which we could apply our knowledge on the C–H bond cleavage and apply it to the formation of new scaffolds. The development of two new palladium-catalyzed methods were also described. In the fifth chapter, our effort toward the development of ligands to specifically promoted C–H bond cleavage will be presented. In the sixth chapter will be presented the latest results on the study of the mechanism of the C–H bond cleavage combining experimental and computational studies. In part B of this thesis will be presented our strategy toward the total synthesis of ginkgolide C that included two gold(I)-catalyzed reactions as key steps in the preparation of the spiro[4.4]nonane core of this natural product. The first studies on the feasibility of the key steps of the synthesis will be described.
