description: Conodonts of late Llandovery age have been collected from the Anse a Pierre-Loiselle Formation, the deposition of which represents a deepening episode in the generally shallow deposition of the Chaleur Group in southern Gaspe. The fauna is dominated numerically by elements assigned to Panderodus, Oulodus?, and Ozarkodina with elements of Aulacognathus, Carniodus, Distomodus, Johnognathus, Kockelella, Pterospathodus, and Walliserodus as well as rate or indeterminate taxa. One genus is new, represented by one species: Digitodontus bellistriatus. Other new species include: Apsidognathus sulcatus, Pseudooneotodus pyramis and Pterospathodus? ceragnathoides. Based on these faunas the unit is considered to represent deposition of Llandovery C$\sb6$--early Wenlock age. Due to the low abundance of zonal indicator species Pterospathodus celloni and P. amorphognathoides, a new taxon range zone is established to encompass the total range of the new species P.? ceragnathoides which is locally abundant. The position of the Llandovery-Wenlock boundary remains unclear. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: Genotype-guided warfarin dosing has been shown in some randomized trials to improve anticoagulation outcomes in individuals of European ancestry, yet its utility in Asian patients remains unresolved. Methods: An open-label, non-inferiority, 1:1 randomized trial was conducted at three academic hospitals in South East Asia, involving 322 ethnically diverse patients newly indicated for warfarin (NCT00700895). Clinical follow-up was 90 days. The primary efficacy measure was the number of dose titrations within the first 2 weeks of therapy, with a mean non-inferiority margin of 0.5 over the first 14 days of therapy. Results: Among 322 randomized patients, 269 were evaluable for the primary endpoint. Compared with traditional dosing, the genotype-guided group required fewer dose titrations during the first 2 weeks (1.77 vs. 2.93, difference −1.16, 90% CI −1.48 to −0.84, P < 0.001 for both non-inferiority and superiority). The percentage of time within the therapeutic range over 3 months and median time to stable international normalized ratio (INR) did not differ between the genotype-guided and traditional dosing groups. The frequency of dose titrations (incidence rate ratio 0.76, 95% CI 0.67 to 0.86, P = 0.001), but not frequency of INR measurements, was lower at 1, 2, and 3 months in the genotype-guided group. The proportions of patients who experienced minor or major bleeding, recurrent venous thromboembolism, or out-of-range INR did not differ between both arms. For predicting maintenance doses, the pharmacogenetic algorithm achieved an R2 = 42.4% (P < 0.001) and mean percentage error of −7.4%. Conclusions: Among Asian adults commencing warfarin therapy, a pharmacogenetic algorithm meets criteria for both non-inferiority and superiority in reducing dose titrations compared with a traditional dosing approach, and performs well in prediction of actual maintenance doses. These findings imply that clinicians may consider applying a pharmacogenetic algorithm to personalize initial warfarin dosages in Asian patients. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00700895 .

description: Les repercussions de l'activite humaine sur la productivite des ecosystemes sont rarement mesurees en relation a la productivite attendue des aires intactes. J'ai utilise des observations de productivite nette de l'ecosysteme durant la saison de croissance (gNEP) pour les aires strictement protegees afin de predire la gNEP attendue dans l'absence d'activite humaine a travers d'un aire d'etude Canadienne, sans influence de l'autocorrelation spatiale. Comparant la gNEP predite avec la gNEP actuelle entre 1998 et 2005, j'ai mesure les deviations pertinents au point de vue biologique positifs et negatifs causes par l'activite humaine, sur 4% et 7.5% du territoire canadien, respectivement. Les activites humaines a long terme etaient lies typiquement aux deviations negatifs, e.g., urbanisation, tandis que les deviations positifs avaient trait a l'alteration temporaire du territoire, e.g., deforestation. Les deviations de gNEP changent a un taux de +/-1.6%·annee-1 avec quelques differences entres utilisations du terrain. Les deviations positifs croissaient en aire presque trois fois plus rapidement que les deviations negatifs. Les deviations inattendues de gNEP refletaient fortement les anomalies a court terme de la meteo, ce qui suggere des impacts des changements climatiques acceleres.
Secure and efficient group key agreement protocols

description: Due to the increased popularity of group-oriented applications and protocols, securing group communication has become a critical networking issue and has received much attention in recent years. A secure and efficient group key management protocol presents one of the most fundamental challenges in group communication security. While key transport protocols may be appropriate for key establishment in one-to-many applications, many collaborative applications require distributed key agreement protocols. Proposals for key agreement protocols that have been published so far do not scale for large size groups. Moreover, the security of most of these protocols has been flawed. This thesis considers the problem of group key agreement protocols from two points of view: efficiency and security. Regarding the efficiency, a novel framework based on the extension of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol is proposed. The efficiency of this framework comes from the distribution of the group members into size-bounded clusters. Using clustering improves the protocol efficiency (in both communication and computation costs), provides fault-tolerance and supports heterogenous systems. A modification to these protocols has been presented to address the problem of key agreement within ad hoc wireless networks. Regarding protocol security, a new approach for key agreement protocols analysis is proposed. To demonstrate the approach, a formal analysis of one of the existing key agreement protocols has been presented where some practical attacks have been identified. It has been shown that the possibility of most of these attacks is due to the use of improper techniques to supply key authentication. Different solutions to address these attacks have been proposed. These solutions provide authenticity and are implemented within the steps required by the key agreement protocol. These authenticated protocols are based on an entanglement of both the ephemeral key and the long-term key to provide authenticated key agreement protocols.

description: Background The TTH48 trial aims to determine whether prolonged duration (48 hours) of targeted temperature management (TTM) at 33 (±1) °C results in better neurological outcomes compared to standard duration (24 hours) after six months in comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. Methods TTH48 is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, assessor-blinded, randomised, controlled superiority trial of 24 and 48 hours of TTM at 33 (±1) ° C performed in 355 comatose OHCA patients aged 18 to 80 years who were admitted to ten intensive care units (ICUs) in six Northern European countries. The primary outcome of the study is the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score observed at six months after cardiac arrest. CPC scores of 1 and 2 are defined as good neurological outcomes, and CPC scores of 3, 4 and 5 are defined as poor neurological outcomes. The secondary outcomes are as follows: mortality within six months after cardiac arrest, CPC at hospital discharge, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on day 4, length of stay in ICU and at hospital and the presence of any adverse events such as cerebral, circulatory, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, metabolic measures, infection or bleeding. With the planned sample size, we have 80% power to detect a 15% improvement in good neurological outcomes at a two-sided statistical significance level of 5%. Discussion We present a detailed statistical analysis protocol (SAP) that specifies how primary and secondary outcomes should be evaluated. We also predetermine covariates for adjusted analyses and pre-specify sub-groups for sensitivity analyses. This pre-planned SAP will reduce analysis bias and add validity to the findings of this trial on the effect of length of TTM on important clinical outcomes after cardiac arrest.

Elle met en relief, par analyse comparative, les influences locales et regionales que subissent des accumulations eoliennes du nord-ouest du Yukon selon les conditions paleoenvironnementales et paleoclimatiques de l'epoque. L'etude porte sur les loess de Bluefish datant de la fin du Pleistocene, des accumulations eoliennes holocenes de sommet de falaise dans les Ramparts de la vallee de la riviere Porcupine et des sediments eoliens de la plaine alluviale de la riviere Bluefish, de l'Holocene moyen. Plusieurs facteurs, tels la disponibilite des sediments de la source, le climat (direction des vents, humidite de l'air et temperature) et la couverture vegetale controlent la dynamique eolienne. Ils peuvent etre definis par une serie d'indicateurs dont la granulometrie, les teneurs geochimiques (CaCO3, matiere organique, Al2O3, Fe2O3, etc ...), la susceptibilite magnetique, l'exoscopie des grains de quartz, l'orientation des depots eoliens, taux de sedimentation, etc ...; eux-meme determines par analyses sedimentologiques et chronologiques. Cette etude permet de constater que l'edification de phenomenes eoliens locaux peuvent etre consequents de phenomenes d'envergure regionale et renferment ainsi des informations relatives a des changements d'ordre paleoclimatique et paleoenvironnemental. Les sources potentielles ainsi que les divers episodes d'intensite eolienne ont ete identifies. A partir de ces resultats, une tentative de reconstruction des conditions climatiques et environnementales qui ont permis l'edification des depots eoliens dans le nord-ouest du Yukon, pendant le Pleistocene superieur et l'Holocene, est presentee.

description: Background Maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) of chromosome 7 (upd(7)mat) accounts for approximately 10% of patients with Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS). For upd(7)mat and trisomy 7, a significant number of mechanisms have been proposed to explain the postzygotic formation of these chromosomal compositions, but all have been based on as small number of cases. To obtain the ratio of isodisomy and heterodisomy in UPDs (hUPD, iUPD) and to determine the underlying formation mechanisms, we analysed a large cohort of upd(7)mat patients (n = 73) by SNP array typing. Based on these data, we discuss the UPDs and their underlying trisomy 7 formation mechanisms. Results A whole chromosome 7 maternal iUPD was confirmed in 28.8%, a mixture or complete maternal hUPD in 71.2% of patients. Conclusions We could demonstrate that nondisjunction mechanism affecting chromosome 7 are similar to that of the chromosomes more frequently involved in trisomy (and/or UPD), and that mechanisms other than trisomic rescue have a lower significance than previously suspected. Furthermore, we suggest SNP array typing for future parent- and cell-stage-of origin studies in human aneuploidies as they allow the definite classification of trisomies and UPDs, and provide information on recombinational events and their suggested association with aneuploidy formation.

PM10

description: Exposure to inhalable particulate matter (PM10, particle size =10ìm in diameter) can be associated with a number of adverse health effects such as airway inflammation and aggravation of asthma. Asthma can be triggered amongst others by birch pollen allergens like Bet v 1, but due to their size whole birch pollen cannot enter the lower respiratory tract. However, PM10 may act as carrier of adsorbed allergens and we speculated that Flow Cytometry, a method widely used to characterize suspended solids >0.5 ìm in diameter, can be used to quantify these allergen-loaded particles. We show here, that the major birch pollen antigen Bet v 1 is bound to PM10 particles and that PM10 samples from high pollen season contain significantly higher proportions of Bet v 1 positive PM10>0.5 ìm particles than PM10 samples from low pollen season. This difference may be of biological relevance as PM10 from high pollen season but not from low pollen season induced basophil activation in a pollen allergic proband. These findings indicate that ambient particles can transport adsorbed allergens into the lower respiratory airways where they could cause allergic sensitizations or trigger allergic reactions. Furthermore, Flow Cytometry adds to the list of tools for PM10 characterization.Quelle: http://www.sciencedirect.com
Emotions and Recidivism: Exploring the Relationships between Dynamic Positive and Negative Affect, Age, Gender and Risk Categories with Recidivism Outcomes for Adults on Probation
Creators: name: Ott, Neira
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: There is a lack of research related to whether experiences of positive and negative emotions over time could be statistically significant factors for predicting criminal re-offending in adults. This project examined which types of emotional experiences (positive vs negative; activating vs deactivating emotions); in combination with participants' age, gender or re-offending risk category, could be important for predicting re-offending. Results have demonstrated that the activating negative, as well as all positive emotions are significant predictors of criminal re-offending, above the participant's re-offending risk category. This is a novel finding that indicates importance of considering positive emotions when assessing re-offending risk.

description: Background: Adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) significantly decreases the risk of breast cancer recurrence and mortality. Notwithstanding the demonstrated efficacy of AET, 31–73% of breast cancer survivors do not persist with AET. The purpose of this study was to explore breast cancer survivors’ experiences and perspectives of persisting with AET and to identify the psychosocial and healthcare system factors that influence AET persistence. Methods: Informed by interpretive descriptive methodology and relational autonomy theory, individual interviews were conducted with 22 women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer who had been prescribed AET. These participants also completed a demographic form and a survey that assessed their perceived risk of recurrence. Interviews were analysed using inductive thematic and constant comparative analysis to iteratively compare data and develop conceptualizations of the relationships among data. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the quantitative data. Results: The personal, social, and structural factors found to influence AET persistence included AET side effects, perception of breast cancer recurrence risk, medication and necessity beliefs, social support, the patient-provider relationship, and the continuity and frequency of follow-up care. For most women, over time, the decision-making process around AET persistence became a balancing act between quality of life and quantity of life. The interplay between the personal, social, and structural factors was complex and the weight women placed on some factors over others influenced their AET persistence or non-persistence. Conclusion: Expanding our understanding of the factors affecting breast cancer survivors’ AET persistence from their perspective is the first step in developing efficacious, patient-centered interventions aimed at improving AET persistence. In order to improve AET persistence, enhanced symptom management is required, as well as the development of supportive care strategies that acknowledge the values and beliefs held by breast cancer survivors while reinforcing the benefits of AET, and addressing women’s reasons for non-persistence. Improved continuity of health care and patient-healthcare provider communication across oncology and primary care settings is also required. The development and evaluation of supportive care strategies that address the challenges associated with AET experienced by breast cancer survivors hold the potential to increase both women’s quality and quantity of life.
The syntax and semantics of optional wh-movement: The case of Egyptian Arabic
Creators: name: Lassadi, Boutheina
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Language, Linguistics.

description: In forming wh-questions, Egyptian Arabic (EA) exhibits apparent optional wh-movement whereby both options of fronting the wh-phrase or leaving it in situ are possible. I argue in this dissertation that optionality in EA wh-question formation does not contradict minimalist assumptions since the two options of fronting or leaving the wh-phrase in situ correspond to two different derivations that have two different syntactic structures and two different semantic interpretations. As a consequence, I do not adopt the idea that wh-movement is triggered by a [+wh] feature and I also reject the covert LF movement of wh-in-situ. I claim that wh-question formation in EA is driven by focus and propose that focus is embodied in the form of an intonational morpheme. There are two distinct options to form wh-questions in EA, so I claim that there are two distinct focus morphemes that enter the computational system: an information focus morpheme and a contrastive focus morpheme. When the information focus morpheme enters the derivation, it is a variable that is bound to the focused constituent in-situ. When the contrastive focus morpheme enters the derivation with the operator illi which has scopal properties and EPP features that accounts for its leftward location in the clause, it is bound to the particle illi. Being bound to the operator illi, the contrastive focus morpheme is located at the left-periphery of the clause. When a wh-phrase enters the derivation with the contrastive focus morpheme and the particle illi, it moves to the leftward position triggered by features of the focused morpheme. Fronting of the wh-phrase is therefore triggered by features of the particle illi. However, the particle illi is not always present when the wh-phrase is fronted. This occurs with subject wh-phrases where the presence of the particle is optional and with adjunct wh-phrases where fronted adjunct wh-phrase cannot occur with illi. In case of the subject wh-phrase, wh-in-situ form is not possible because subject wh-phrase must always be fronted for two reasons: EPP features which trigger movement of the wh-phrase to [Spec, TP] and contrastive focus features which trigger movement of the subject wh-phrase from [Spec, TP] to [Spec, FP], the latter, which is interpreted as information focus, contains an overt illi particle but not the former, which denotes contrastive focus. In case of the object wh-phrase, fronted wh-phrase is always associated with an overt illi particle. In the case of adjunct wh-phrase, the fronted wh-phrase can never take an overt illi particle. I postulate that the presence of the particle illi in the derivation is triggered by an overt movement of the wh-phrase (this happens with subject wh-phrase denoting contrastive focus and fronted object wh-phrases). The absence of the particle illi with adjuncts suggests that adjuncts wh-phrases do not undergo movement but are adjoined to the derivation postcyclically.

description: Introduction The approved analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen and indometacin block the small GTPase RhoA, a key enzyme that impedes axonal sprouting after axonal damage. Inhibition of the Rho pathway in a central nervous system-effective manner requires higher dosages compared with orthodox cyclooxygenase-blocking effects. Preclinical studies on spinal cord injury (SCI) imply improved motor recovery after ibuprofen/indometacin-mediated Rho inhibition. This has been reassessed by a meta-analysis of the underlying experimental evidence, which indicates an overall effect size of 20.2% regarding motor outcome achieved after ibuprofen/indometacin treatment compared with vehicle controls. In addition, ibuprofen/indometacin may also limit sickness behaviour, non-neurogenic systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), neuropathic pain and heterotopic ossifications after SCI. Consequently, ‘small molecule’-mediated Rho inhibition after acute SCI warrants clinical investigation. Methods and analysis Protocol of an investigator-initiated clinical open-label pilot trial on high-dose ibuprofen treatment after acute traumatic, motor-complete SCI. A sample of n=12 patients will be enrolled in two cohorts treated with 2400 mg/day ibuprofen for 4 or 12 weeks, respectively. The primary safety end point is an occurrence of serious adverse events, primarily gastroduodenal bleedings. Secondary end points are pharmacokinetics, feasibility and preliminary effects on neurological recovery, neuropathic pain and heterotopic ossifications. The primary safety analysis is based on the incidence of severe gastrointestinal bleedings. Additional analyses will be mainly descriptive and casuistic. Ethics and dissemination The clinical trial protocol was approved by the responsible German state Ethics Board, and the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices. The study complies with the Declaration of Helsinki, the principles of Good Clinical Practice and all further applicable regulations. This safety and pharmacokinetics trial informs the planning of a subsequent randomised controlled trial. Regardless of the result of the primary and secondary outcome assessments, the clinical trial will be reported as a publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

description: Ce travail de recherche a pour but de presenter un modele de la boulimie qui incorpore certains variables identifiees par les recherches theoriques et experimentales anterieures. Les taquineries anterieures et les croyances au sujet de la minceur et de l'obesite sont considerees comme etant des variables importantes dans le developpement de la boulimie. A partir d'une integration des concepts theoriques propres a l'etude du soi, le modele introduit et elabore les notions de Saillance des ecarts entre les sois corporels actuels et les sois corporels desires, et de Saillance des ecarts entre les sois corporels actuels et les sois corporels actuels et les sois corporels redoutes. Ces variables joueraient un role mediateur determinant entre les facteurs antecedents et les Comportements boulimiques. Dans ce modele, le Souci corporel serait essentiellement un sous-produit des processus cognitifs mediateurs. Finalement, le modele concoit le Bien-etre psychologique comme etant une variable directement affectee par les Comportements boulimiques. Une premiere etude effectuee aupres d'un echantillon de 167 jeunes femmes a permis de developper et de valider les instruments de mesure necessaires an present travail de recherche. Les resultats demontrent que la validite et la fidelite des instruments sont adequates. Dans le cadre d'une deuxieme etude empirique menee aupres d'un echantillon de 303 jeunes femmes, des analyses d'equations structurales ont ete effectuees afin de verifier, entre autres, le modele conceptuel propose. Les resultats de cette deuxieme etude revelent qu'un modele structural alternatif, ou le parametre reliant la Saillance des ecarts pour les sois corporels desires et les Comportements boulimiques est elimine, rend compte des donnees de facon adequate. Selon ce modele, les Taquineries anterieures et les Croyances socio-culturelles au sujet de la minceur et de l'obesite sont a la fois reliees aux Saillances des ecarts entre les sois corporels actuels/desires, et actuels/redoutes. Bien que ces deux types de Saillances predisent conjointement le Souci corporel, seule, la variable Saillances des ecarts pour les sois corporels redoutes suffit pour predire les Comportements boulimiques.

description: Retinoic acid (RA) plays an integral role during embryonic development, in addition to being a potential chemotherapeutic and chemopreventative agent in various cancer models due to its growth inhibitory and pro-differentiation properties. RA signaling occurs in a ligand-dependent manner through a family of nuclear receptors consisting of the RARs and RXRs. RA elicits growth inhibitory effects in transformed wild type keratinocytes, however the target genes that mediate this outcome remain largely unidentified. In order to isolate genes that could mediate the latter effects, a suppressive subtractive hybridization experiment was conducted by our lab and revealed growth arrest specific 3 (gas3) as a candidate gene. Gas3 is expressed in the skin and is induced by RA as early as two hours post-treatment in tissue culture models. We investigated a possible relationship between gas3 and epidermal tumorigenesis and found that this gene behaves in a context dependent, strain-specific manner as both an RA-mediated tumor suppressor and an oncogene. To further investigate this, I first demonstrated that RA-induced growth arrest in keratinocytes is mediated in part by gas3. Additionally, previous work from our lab demonstrated that gas3-null mice from an FVB/NJ background evaded tumor formation following the two-stage carcinogenesis protocol. I demonstrate that this occurs as a result of an increase in apoptotic response following chemical mutagenesis in gas3 mutants. Conversely, I found that Gas3 mutants on a C57Bl/6 background behave as wild type animals with respect to carcinogenesis, suggesting that genetic modifiers between these two strains impact on Gas3 function with respect to tumorigenesis. Finally, I found that p21 activity is affected by the loss of gas3, which may begin to elucidate how gas3 impacts on carcinogenesis.

description: Das Umweltbundesamt veröffentlicht jährlich seine Berechnungsergebnisse zur Entwicklung des Kohlendioxid-Emissionsfaktors des deutschen Strommix in der Zeitreihe ab 1990, der als Indikator für die Klimaverträglichkeit der Stromerzeugung angesehen werden kann. Bei der Erzeugung einer Kilowattstunde Strom für den Endverbrauch ohne Berücksichtigung des Stromhandelssaldos wurden in Deutschland im Jahr 2017 durchschnittlich 485 Gramm Kohlendioxid als direkte Emission aus der Verbrennung fossiler Energieträger emittiert. Das sind ca. 279 Gramm pro Kilowattstunde oder 36 Prozent weniger als im Jahr 1990. Für das Jahr 2018 auf der Basis vorläufiger Daten sind dies 468 Gramm pro Kilowattstunde. Hochgerechnete Werte für das Jahr 2019 ergeben 401 Gramm pro Kilowattstunde und somit 363 Gramm und ca. 47 Prozent weniger als 1990. Quelle: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de

description: In response to the climate and energy crisis, increased global attention has been directed towards electric vehicles. Therefore, the use of electric buses is imminent. In this thesis, the energy and powertrain systems of an electric bus were designed. And two simulation models of electric bus comprising a common single-motor and a proposed dual-motor were built by the use of the Matlab/Simulink software. Additionally, an electric bus prototype with dual-motor was built and tested on two selected real routes in Hong Kong. In summary, this research has important implications for other types of commercial electric vehicles in cities worldwide.

Dynamic optical multicast routing in sparse-splitting WDM networks

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: While most of the previous optical multicast routing and wavelength assignment algorithms for sparse-splitting networks have focused on the static traffic patterns, this thesis concentrated on the algorithm performance in the dynamic traffic environment. A dynamic constrained multicast routing algorithm that is based on a widest-first path heuristics (DCMR-WFPH) has been proposed. On the contrary, all of the other optical multicast algorithms known to date utilize the Shortest-Path-based Heuristics (SPH) during the routing stage. A bottleneck wavelength assignment scheme has also been introduced. Combined with the DCMR-WFPH algorithm, this approach can reduce wavelength search space during the dynamic wavelength assignment stage. Furthermore, in this thesis, a problem in the well-known shortest-widest algorithm has been discovered and presented. The advantages of the algorithm have been demonstrated by simulation results. Compared to the Member-only algorithm, a well known SPH based tree generation algorithm, our algorithm outperforms in load balancing and blocking probability performances. Experiments have also shown that the method of limiting the number of wavelengths each forest can occupy, termed as forest trimming, can be utilized to improve the blocking probability performance. It has also been shown by simulation experiments that certain sparse-splitting networks equipped with less fanout capacity MCOXCs can achieve similar performance to networks with more fanout capacities. Due to the special properties of the widest-first routing algorithm, it is possible that loops can be generated during the tree generation stage. Through formal analysis, in this thesis, a number of properties in the DCMR-WFPH algorithm have been proven. Moreover, it was justified that the DCMR-WFPH algorithm can guarantee to generate real trees: No loops will be produced during the routing process.
