Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis introduces the concept of CORBA switching. CORBA switching is a network approach to increase the reliability of the current CORBA standard, CORBA 2.3. The CORBA Switch implements the concepts of fault-tolerance, load balancing, versioning, network security and quality of service into a distributed CORBA application. By introducing a CORBA switch into the network, these concepts can be introduced without any modification to the clients or servers. A prototype CORBA Switch was designed and implemented. A series of tests were conducted to evaluate the impact of a CORBA Switch on a distributed CORBA application. The results obtained showed that the CORBA Switch increased the reliability of a distributed CORBA application while adding a very negligible amount of delay into the system. Unlike previous approaches, this thesis shows that the CORBA Switch can deal with all of the following concepts: fault-tolerance, load balancing, versioning, network security and quality of service, while not requiring any modification to existing CORBA clients and server.

description: Background: Approaches to screening can influence the acceptance of and comfort with mental health screening. Qualitative evidence on pregnant women’s comfort with different screening approaches and disclosure of mental health concerns is scant. The purpose of this study was to understand women’s perspectives of different mental health screening approaches and the perceived barriers to the communication and disclosure of their mental health concerns during pregnancy. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was undertaken. Fifteen women, with a singleton pregnancy, were recruited from a community maternity clinic and a mental health clinic in Calgary, Canada. Semi-structured interviews were conducted during both the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Preferences for mental health screening approaches varied. Most women with a known mental health issue preferred a communicative approach, while women without a known mental health history who struggled with emotional problems were inclined towards less interactive approaches and reported a reluctance to share their concerns. Barriers to communicating mental health concerns included a lack of emotional literacy (i.e., not recognizing the symptoms, not understanding the emotions), fear of disclosure outcomes (i.e., fear of being judged, fear of the consequences), feeling uncomfortable to be seen vulnerable, perception about the role of prenatal care provider (internal barriers); the lack of continuity of care, depersonalized care, lack of feedback, and unfamiliarity with/uncertainty about the availability of support (structural barriers). Conclusions: The overlaps between some themes identified for the reasons behind a preferred screening approach and barriers reported by women to communicate mental health concerns suggest that having options may help women overcome some of the current disclosure barriers and enable them to engage in the process. Furthermore, the continuity of care, clarity around the outcomes of disclosing mental health concerns, and availability of immediate support can help women move from providing “the best answer” to providing an authentic answer.

description: La question des incidences professionnelles liées à la présence de couples policiers au sein de l'organisation policière est une problématique relativement récente. Cette situation de couple professionnel serait le fait de plus de la moitié des policières. Les quelques études sur les relations amoureuses au travail et sur les couples policiers s'accordent pour dire que les femmes risquent davantage de subir les conséquences professionnelles négatives pouvant découler de leur situation de couple professionnel. Cela nous a conduit à cette recherche sur les perceptions et expériences des policières concernant les incidences professionnelles liées à leur situation. Nos entretiens indiquent que les policières sont peu craintives des possibles retombées professionnelles négatives liées à leur situation. Au contraire. Elles s'attendent à ce que l'employeur facilite la conciliation travail/vie de couple, et demeurent peu préoccupées des conflits d'intérêt au travail pouvant émerger de ces accommodements.

Mixtures of legacy and replacement perfluorosulphonic acids (PFSAs) demonstrate ratio-, concentration- and endpoint-dependent synergistic interactions
Creators: name: Mahoney, Hannah
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The extensive use of poly- and per-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) has les to their widespread presence in the environment, raising concerns about potential toxicity. While certain PFASs of concern have been phased-out or banned, new PFASs continue to be produced. Two such substances are perfluoroethylcyclohexane sulphonate (PFECHS) and perfluorobutane sulphamide (FBSA), replacements of perfluoroctanesulphonic acid (PFOS) that have recently been detected in multiple environmental media around the globe. Despite PFASs generally occurring in the environment as mixtures, few data are available outlining the effects of PFAS mixtures. Therefore, this research investigated the interaction potential of binary and ternary mixtures of emerging and legacy PFASs. The immortalized rainbow trout gill cell line (RTgill-W1) was chosen as the experimental model to investigate two apical endpoints: cellular viability and phospholipidosis. RTgill-W1 cells were exposed for 24 h to each compound to obtain endpoint-specific effect concentrations (LCx; ECx). These values were then applied to formulate mixture predictions following the Loewes Additivity and Steel and Peckham methods. Based on cytotoxicity, relative potencies of individual compounds were: PFOS > PFECHS > FSBA. PFOS and PFECHS had nearly identical effects on phospholipidosis, while FSBA did not have any effects. Most mixtures had a synergistic effect on cytotoxicity, but the effect was both dose- and ratio-dependent. PFOS and PFECHS were additive at lower concentrations (LC10) and synergistic at higher concentrations (LC50; 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3). PFECHS and FSBA mixtures were synergistic at all doses and ratios (3:1, 1:1, 1:3), while FBSA and PFOS were mainly synergistic at higher concentrations and at ratios favouring PFOS (1:1, 1:3). Tertiary combinations were mainly synergistic. For phospholipidosis, mixtures were strictly additive. These results are strongly suggestive of synergism between emerging PFAS replacements and highlight that independent apical mechanisms of different PFASs could combine to induce unexpected toxicity. Considering that emerging replacements are continuing to increase in concentration in the environment, such mixture scenarios are also likely to continue to increase in probability.

This record includes an updated Rmd datafile that if run will output the figures used in the publication "Mixtures of legacy and replacement perfluorosulphonic acids (PFSAs) demonstrate ratio-, concentration- and endpoint-dependent synergistic interactions." This code will also output interactable 3D plots representative of the tertiary mixture interactions.

Simulation of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell: Dynamic modelling and an environment.
Creators: name: Keon, Neil.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is the focus of modeling and simulation efforts in order to better understand this technology and improve its design and operation. Simulated polarization curves for PEMFCs duplicate the observed performance of PEMFCs with varying degrees of success. In order for modelling and simulation to be more widely used in this field and elsewhere, effective tools must be made available for non-programmers to apply their knowledge to simulation problems. GestCell (A modelling and simulation environment based on Gest) is a new modelling and simulation environment designed with non-programmers in mind, in particular scientists studying PEMFCs. A friendly graphical interface allows users who are knowledgeable in a non-programming field to enter information about a system into GestCell, which automatically constructs a Gest specification. The Gest specification is highly readable for the user, and the system is able to generate a C++ program with the specification in order to allow the user to carry out simulation with the model, with very little knowledge in the area of simulation. GestCell is very general in nature and could be used in a wide variety of fields. It has a great deal of potential to be a powerful modelling and simulation environment.

Determination of the mechanism of viral interference manifested by a mouse-adapted strain of influenza A virus.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Mouse-adapted influenza A virus, FM-MA, interferes with the replication of wild-type strains on coinfection of MDCK cells to the extent that $>$99% of the infectious progeny virus are FM-MA. The interference phenotype was previously mapped to FM-MA segment 2 which encodes the PB1 polymerase protein with a single amino acid substitution relative to the parent, FM, at position 538. To identify the point at which FM-MA interferes with wild-type A/HK/1/68 (HK), the relative levels of FM-MA and HK transcription and genome replication from PB1, NP and M1 genes were determined in coinfected MDCK cells using RT-PCR. All stages of FM-MA macromolecular synthesis (primary and secondary transcription, genomic RNA, complementary RNA and protein) were enhanced relative to HK, a phenotype which mapped to FM-MA segment 2. The kinetics of viral RNA synthesis in single or mixed infections indicated not only that the presence of FM-MA specifically compromised HK transcription and replication in coinfected cells but also that FM-MA's ability to interfere was due in part to its capacity for increased primary transcription relative to HK. FM-MA genomes were also selectively assembled into progeny virus from cells coinfected with HK and FM-MA, a step which was distinct from the capacity for enhanced RNA synthesis. This suggests that interference of wild-type virus growth by FM-MA in mixed infections resulted from two distinct events: a preferential synthesis of FM-MA-specific macromolecules which was then augmented by a preferential assembly of FM-MA genomes. The ability of FM-MA to selectively amplify its own genes in cells coinfected with HK did not depend on recognition of an FM-MA-specific promoter by the mutant polymerase. Alternate explanations for this selectivity are proposed.

Eigenvectors for infinite Markov chains and dimension groups.
Creators: name: Wang, Jianzhong.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: This thesis relates the theory of dimension groups to the study of nonnegative infinite matrices. Given a nonnegative matrix P = Pg,hg,h∈ G (Gamma countable and infinite), we obtain information concerning the nonnegative eigenvectors of P by studying the associated dimension groups and their trace (state) spaces. For a particular class of countable discrete Markov chains, we exhibit affine homeomophisms between nonnegative eigenvector spaces and certain subspaces of related trace spaces. This thesis also establishes some necessary conditions for the weak ergodicity of sequences of 2 x 2 real matrices.

description: Objective Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) with valves has been shown to improve COPD patients with severe emphysema. However, a major complication is pneumothoraces, occurring typically soon after valve implantation, with severe consequences if not managed promptly. Based on the knowledge that strain activity is related to a higher risk of pneumothoraces, we asked whether modifying post-operative medical care with the inclusion of strict short-term limitation of strain activity is associated with a lower incidence of pneumothorax. Methods Seventy-two (72) emphysematous patients without collateral ventilation were treated with bronchial valves and included in the study. Thirty-two (32) patients received standard post-implantation medical management (Standard Medical Care (SMC)), and 40 patients received a modified medical care that included an additional bed rest for 48 hours and cough suppression, as needed (Modified Medical Care (MMC)). Results The baseline characteristics were similar for the two groups, except there were more males in the SMC cohort. Overall, ten pneumothoraces occurred up to four days after ELVR, eight pneumothoraces in the SMC, and only two in the MMC cohorts (p=0.02). Complicated pneumothoraces and pneumothoraces after upper lobe treatment were significantly lower in MMC (p=0.02). Major clinical outcomes showed no significant differences between the two cohorts. Conclusions In conclusion, modifying post-operative medical care to include bed rest for 48 hours after ELVR and cough suppression, if needed, might reduce the incidence of pneumothoraces. Prospective randomized studies with larger numbers of well- matched patients are needed to confirm the data.
Unimolecular chemistry of gas-phase hydrazine ions

description: The unimolecular dissociation reactions of ionized methylhydrazine, CH 3NHNH2+·, 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, (CH 3)2NNH2+·, and tetramethylhydrazine, (CH3)2NN(CH3)2 +·, were investigated using tandem mass spectrometry, threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy and variational transition state theory. The modelled thresholds for the ion dissociation yielded new thermochemistry for these N2-containing ions. The low energy dissociation pathways of the methyl-substituted hydrazine radical cations correspond to the losses of a hydrogen atom, a methyl radical and/or a rearrangement process leading to the loss of methane. The three fragment ions of MH+· are ion m/z 45, CH 2NHNH2+, ion m/z 31, NHNH 2+, and ion m/z 30, N2H 2+·. The two fragment ions of DMH+· are ion m/z 59, (CH3)(CH 2)NNH2+, and ion m/z 45, CH3N=NH2+. The two fragment ions of TMH +· are ion m/z 73, (CH3)2 NNCH3+, and ion m/z 72, C 3H8N2+·. Product ion structures were determined from MIKE, CID, KER and deuterium exchange experiments performed on a modified VG ZAB mass spectrometer of BEE geometry. The TPEPICO experiments were performed at the Daresbury Laboratory Synchrotron Radiation Source. The breakdown diagrams in the threshold region for each ion were modelled. The potential energy curve of each dissociation reaction was calculated at the B3-LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory. The molecular configuration corresponding to the minimum sum-of-states was located and used as the transition state in the RRKM calculation of k(E). The k(E) data was convoluted with the internal energy distribution of the ion, the electron transmission function of the electron analyser and the monochromator band-pass width to simulate the experimental breakdown curves. The effects of the entropy of activation on simple dissociation reactions were also investigated. Several transition states were identified with increasing ion internal energy for the methyl radical loss and the hydrogen atom loss channels. The variation in the DeltaS‡ values was found to affect largely the shape of the breakdown curves and the dissociation reactions. Enthalpies of formation of the fragment ions, determined from the theoretical fits of the experimental breakdown curves, were found to be in excellent agreement with the calculated values. The proton affinities of several NN-containing neutral molecules and the N--C and H--C bond dissociation enthalpies were also determined.

description: The debate about the future of the EU and the necessary reforms (including the question of whether changes to the EU Treaties are necessary, appropriate, and realistic) has been ongoing for some time—publicly, within EU institutions, and in dialogues between EU member states and their citizens. However, with the geopolitical implications of recent events, such as Putin's full-scale war with Ukraine, the discussion around enlargement has acquired an urgent and renewed impetus. Nonetheless, there remains a proverbial elephant in the room, as most proposals shy away from addressing the topic of differentiated integration, including approaches for a more flexible architecture for European integration.

This paper offers an in-depth analysis of potential reform strategies designed to bolster the EU's capacity to act as it contemplates expansion to over 30 member states. It advocates for a flexible and dynamic structure through differentiated integration, with the single market serving as the central point of crystallization. This approach aims to accommodate the increasing diversity and complexity that come with a larger Union.
Kesten's Yaglom limit counterexample

description: We consider a positive matrix Q, with entries {1,2,...}. Kesten showed that if there exists a constant 1 ≤ L < infinity and sequences u1 < u 2 < ... and d1 < d 2 < ... such that Q(i, j) = 0 whenever i < ur < ur + L < j or i > dr + L > dr > j for some r, then if Q is also substochastic, it has the strong ratio limit property, that is, limn→infinity Qn+mi,j Qnk,l =R-mfim jfk ml for a suitable R and some R-1-harmonic function f and R-1-invariant measure mu. In this thesis, we delve into a counterexample of Kesten that shows that for a positive irreducible matrix Q, that is the transition probability matrix of a Markov chain {Xn}, the Yaglom limit theorem is not valid if we drop one of the restriction imposed above, even when Q has a minimal normalized quasi-stationary distribution. In the last section, we show the ratio limit property must also then fail.

description: In this paper we report on ∼ 10 yr of observations of PSR J2051−0827, at radio frequencies in the range 110–4032 MHz. We investigate the eclipse phenomena of this black widow pulsar using model fits of increased dispersion and scattering of the pulsed radio emission as it traverses the eclipse medium. These model fits reveal variability in dispersion features on time-scales as short as the orbital period, and previously unknown trends on time-scales of months–years. No clear patterns are found between the low-frequency eclipse widths, orbital period variations, and trends in the intrabinary material density. Using polarization calibrated observations we present the first available limits on the strength of magnetic fields within the eclipse region of this system; the average line of sight field is constrained to be 10−4 G ≲ B|| ≲ 102 G, while for the case of a field directed near-perpendicular to the line of sight we find B ≲ 0.3 G. Depolarization of the linearly polarized pulses during the eclipse is detected and attributed to rapid rotation measure fluctuations of σRM ≳ 100 rad m−2 along, or across, the line of sights averaged over during a subintegration. The results are considered in the context of eclipse mechanisms, and we find scattering and/or cyclotron absorption provide the most promising explanation, while dispersion smearing is conclusively ruled out. Finally, we estimate the mass-loss rate from the companion to be M C ∼ 10−12 M yr−1 , suggesting that the companion will not be fully evaporated on any reasonable time-scale.

description: Since its inception, the internet has served as a virtual meeting place for people sharing common interests. These interest groups are nowadays called Virtual Communities. In this paper we elaborate the concept of a Virtual Community of Students (vicos) who consist of different interest groups in and around Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS). Vicos is a hybrid form of a community: it combines aspects of a Learning Community as well as of a Business Community. We describe the findings of a comprehensive empirical study which addressed the main target group (the students) and which resulted into the basic concept of vicos. The key contribution of this paper is the linkage between the conceptual community design of vicos and the business model which is needed to successfully operate vicos as a sustainable internet platform.
Transcriptomic Characterization of Novel Fruit Ripening Pathways

Subjects: Common pear -- Ripening

description: Ripening of climacteric fruits is characterized by a rise in respiration and concomitant burst of ethylene biosynthesis. While this general pattern is shared among climacteric fruits, there are a few exceptions. European pears (Pyrus communis) require a genetically pre-determined amount of cold exposure, called conditioning, to transition from System 1 (S1) to System 2 (S2) ethylene biosynthesis. Recent research from the lab has implicated pre-climacteric alternative oxidase activity in this transition. In addition to the need for cold exposure, European pear cultivars exhibit variability in response to ethylene receptor antagonist 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). Unlike apples and other climacteric fruits, pears do not regain their ripening capacity following 1-MCP treatment despite the conditioning treatment. A chemical genomics study aimed at activating alternative oxidase in 1-MCP treated pears identified glyoxylic acid for its ability to override the metabolic blockage of ethylene biosynthesis caused by 1-MCP.This dissertation characterizes a natural variation in climacteric ripening represented by European pear, by (1) Summarizing and distilling published information regarding the role of respiration in climacteric fruit. Many of the physiological and phenotypic changes that occur during ripening are attributed to ethylene, however the molecular and metabolic crosstalk between autocatalytic ethylene production and respiration are less understood. Results of recent work implicate the alternative oxidase (AOX) respiratory pathway in crosstalk between ethylene, respiration, and other ripening-associated processes; (2) Conducting comparative physiological and transcriptomics analyses of two pear genotypes that require different durations of cold temperature exposure in order to ripen. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that cold temperature conditioning leads to heightened expression of vernalization-associated genes, homologs of which are necessary for other cold-dependent processes like seed germination and flowering. These genes may serve as regulatory points in the initiation of ripening in fruit that require cold conditioning; (3) Assessing the impact of glyoxylic acid in chemical induction of ripening in 1-MCP treated 'D'Anjou' pear fruit using physiological and transcriptomics approaches. Results demonstrate that glyoxylic acid effectively elicits physiological responses as well as significant changes in global gene expression, including that of AOX, in 1-MCP treated pear fruit that would be otherwise incapable of ripening normally.

description: Tandem reactions have been proven to be powerful methods for creating new types of carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. One such type of reaction is the oxy-Cope/ene reaction of 1,2-divinylcyclohexanols. This reaction has been shown to be a highly diastereoselective method for creating polycyclic compounds with tertiary alcohols at a ring junction. Unfortunately, in many of the previously reported cases, undesired retroene products were also observed.* A new method has been developed that increases the ratio of oxy-Cope/ene with respect to retroene product that involves the use of DBU as a co-solvent in this reaction. This methodology was applied to intermediate 109 (readily obtainable from (+)-limonene) as a key step in the total synthesis of (+)-Arteannuin M (128), a potential drug for the treatment of malaria.* *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams.
