description: This report provides bycatch mortality estimates for 10 species of small cetaceans and pinnipeds caught in Northeast (NEBT) and mid-Atlantic (MABT) bottom trawl fisheries during 2008-2013. Mean annual serious injuries and mortalities from the NEBT fishery were 1.40 (coefficient of variation [CV]=0.58) minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata), 46.48 (CV=0.17) short-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), 0.43 (CV=0.79) Risso’s dolphins (Grampus griseus), 24.74 (CV=0.15) long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas), 3.10 (CV=0.50) harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), 69.60 (CV=0.13) Atlantic white-sided dolphins (Lagenorhynchus acutus), 3.96 (CV=0.63) offshore common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), 30.76 (CV=0.14) gray seals (Halichoerus grypus), 1.40 (CV=0.69) harp seals (Phagophilus groenlandicus), and 2.64 (CV=0.38) harbor seals (Phoca vitulina concolor). Mean annual serious injury and mortality in the MABT fishery were 179.81 (CV=0.14) shortbeaked common dolphins, 38.28 (CV=0.28) Risso's dolphins, 15.71 (CV=0.42) offshore common bottlenose dolphins, 28.06 (CV=0.39) gray seals, and 11.40 (CV=0.40) harbor seals. Mean annual serious injury and mortality estimates for 8 species described in this report are below their respective potential biological removal (PBR) levels. The 2 exceptions are gray and harp seals that have unknown PBRs. There was evidence of acoustic deterrent devices being used on bottom trawl gear primarily in the MABT fishery, resulting in higher bycatch rates for offshore bottlenose dolphin and Risso's dolphins when pingers were used. Observer reports show no evidence of continued use of pingers on bottom trawl gear since 2012. However, uncertainty exists on the use of pingers and their effect on bottom trawl bycatch rates given nonsystematic data collection by fisheries observers on pinger usage in NEBT and MABT fisheries in the Northwest Atlantic region.

Functional characterisation of a subset of mitochondrial complex I accessory subunits and interacting partners
Creators: name: MARRIS GEORGE DIBLEY
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Biochemistry

description: Mitochondria generate the majority of energy in human cells. This process is dependent on a series of five enzymes which combine to perform a series of oxidative phosphorylation reactions. The first of these enzymes is called complex I. Disruptions in complex I are a major cause of mitochondrial disease. Complex I is comprised of 45 protein subunits. Fourteen of these subunits are involved in the catalytic reactions though the function of the remaining 31 are unclear. This research looks to characterises these proteins to better understand the role of the mitochondria and development of associated disease.

Subjects: subject: Marine mammal populations--Estimates--Atlantic Coast (U.S.)

description: Under the 1994 amendments of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) were required to generate stock assessment reports (SARs) for all marine mammal stocks in waters within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The first reports for the Atlantic (includes the Gulf of Mexico) were published in July 1995 (Blaylock et al. 1995). The MMPA requires NMFS and USFWS to review these reports annually for strategic stocks of marine mammals and at least every 3 years for stocks determined to be non-strategic. Included in this report as appendices are: 1) a summary of serious injury/mortality estimates of marine mammals in observed U.S. fisheries (Appendix I), 2) a summary of NMFS records of large whale human-caused serious injury and mortality (Appendix II), 3) detailed fisheries information (Appendix III), 4) summary tables of abundance estimates generated over recent years and the surveys from which they are derived (Appendix IV), and a list of reports not updated in the current year (Appendix V). Table 1 contains a summary, by species, of the information included in the stock assessments, and also indicates those that have been revised since the 2013 publication. Most of the changes incorporate new information into sections on population size and/or mortality estimates. A total of 30 of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico stock assessment reports were revised for 2014. The revised SARs include 12 strategic and 18 non-strategic stocks.

description: We present spatially resolved photometric and spectroscopic observations of two wide brown dwarf binaries uncovered by the SIMP near-infrared proper motion survey. The first pair (SIMP J1619275+031350AB) has a separation of 0.691" (15.2 AU) and components T2.5+T4.0, at the cooler end of the ill-understood J-band brightening. The system is unusual in that the earlier-type primary is bluer in J-Ks than the later-type secondary, whereas the reverse is expected for binaries in the late-L to T dwarf range. This remarkable color reversal can possibly be explained by very different cloud properties between the two components. The second pair (SIMP J1501530-013506AB) consists of an L4.5+L5.5 (separation 0.96", 30-47 AU) with a surprisingly large flux ratio (Delta J =1.79 mag) considering the similar spectral types of its components. The large flux ratio could be explained if the primary is itself an equal-luminosity binary, which would make it one of the first known triple brown dwarf systems. Adaptive optics observations could not confirm this hypothesis, but it remains a likely one, which may be verified by high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy. These two systems add to the handful of known brown dwarf binaries amenable to resolved spectroscopy without the aid of adaptive optics and constitute prime targets to test brown dwarf atmosphere models.

Shareholder Values and a Story of Corporate Social and Environmental Negative Events

Expectancy Violation Theory

description: This dissertation considers the entire process originated by corporate events that impact the environment and the society (ES events). Using a rich hand-collected dataset with 1139 chronological incidents originating from negative corporate social responsibility (CSR)-related events, it explores stock market reactions to each stage within a chain of successive events triggered by negative ES events, including the recurrent, follow-up (either favorable or unfavorable), as well as companies’ response events. We find that the investors respond strongly negatively to negative events (origin, negative subsequent, and negative responses) and strongly positively to positive events (positive subsequent and positive responses). We also find that investors react more negatively to the negative subsequent and recurrent events, as well as company negative responses when they occur sooner after the origin events, whereas promptness of positive subsequent events and positive responses heighten the favorable market reaction. The study also reveals the presence of expectancy violation as investors of high-CSR firm react more negatively to the negative events. In addition, it provides observations suggesting that: (1) investors do not regard positive responses as agency-motivated events, instead they are more concerned about the availability of financial resources when a firm makes remedial responses to a negative ES event; and (2) the market cares about CSR events not solely due to their financial implications, but also because it considers socially responsible operations as a value-enhancing corporate duty.
The role of INPP4B overexpression in breast cancer pathogenesis
Creators: name: SAMUEL JOHN RODGERS
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Biochemistry

description: Breast cancer is the predominant form of cancer among females, with one in eight women likely to develop this disease in their lifetime. The protein INPP4B is a tumour suppressor that is lost in a subset of breast cancers, leading to increased tumour growth. However, the findings in this thesis show that INPP4B levels are increased in a different subset of breast cancers with poorer prognosis. Paradoxically, INPP4B overexpression was found to promote tumour growth via a previously uncharacterised signalling mechanism. These findings could lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for breast cancers.

description: Rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) tasks have been frequently used to assess attentional control in psychiatric samples; however, it is unclear whether RSVP tasks exhibits the psychometric properties necessary to assess these individual differences. In the current study, we examined the reliability and validity of single-target computerized RSVP task outcomes in a sample of 63 participants with moderate to severe psychiatric illness. At the group level, we observed the classical attentional blink phenomenon. At the individual level, conventional indices of attentional blink magnitude exhibited poor internal consistency. We empirically evaluated a novel index for assessing attentional blink magnitude using a single-target RSVP task that involves collapsing across experimental trials in which the attentional blink phenomenon occurs and disregarding performance on control trials, which suffer from ceiling effects. We found that this new index resulted in much improved reliability estimates. Both novel and conventional indices provided evidence of convergent validity. Consequently, this novel index may be worth examining and adopting for researchers interested in assessing individual differences in attentional blink magnitude.

description: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector designed to run at the highest luminosity at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Its distinctive featuresinclude a 4 T superconducting solenoid with 6 m diameter by 12.5 m long free bore, enclosed inside a 10000-ton return yoke made of construction steel. Accurate characterization of the magnetic field everywhere in the CMS detector is required. During two major tests of the CMS magnet the magnetic flux density was measured inside the coil in a cylinder of 3.448 m diameter and 7 m length with a specially designed field-mapping pneumatic machine as well as in 140 discrete regions of the CMS yoke with NMR probes, 3-D Hall sensors and flux-loops. A TOSCA 3-D model of the CMS magnet has been developed to describe the magnetic field everywhere outside the tracking volume measured with the field-mapping machine. A volume based representation of the magnetic field is used to provide the CMS simulation and reconstruction software with the magnetic field values. The value of the field at a given point of a volume is obtained by interpolation from a regular grid of values resulting from a TOSCA calculation or, when available, from a parameterization. The results of the measurements and calculations are presented, compared and discussed.

description: We present a study of the thermodynamic and physical properties of Tl5Te3, BiTl9Te6 and SbTl9Te6 compounds by means of density functional theory based calculations. The optimized lattice constants of the compounds are in good agreement with the experimental data. The electronic density of states and band structures are calculated to understand the bonding mechanism in the three compounds. The indirect band gap of BiTl9Te6 and SbTl9Te6 compounds are found to be equal to 0.256 eV and 0.374 eV, respectively. The spin-orbit coupling has important effects on the electronic structure of the two semiconducting compounds and should therefore be included for a good numerical description of these materials. The elastic constants of the three compounds have been calculated, and the bulk modulus, shear modulus, and young's modulus have been determined. The change from ductile to brittle behavior after Sb or Bi alloying is related to the change of the electronic properties. Finally, the Debye temperature, longitudinal, transverse and average sound velocities have been obtained.

description: Multiple paternity, also termed polyandry, is a reproductive strategy that can increase the genetic variation within a brood to help preserve diversity within a population. A paternity analysis using multilocus microsatellites revealed that 8 of 25 (32%) quillback rockfish (Sebastes maliger) females mated with more than one male. Of the eight broods sired by multiple males, three were sired by two males and five were sired by three males. Polyandry is likely an important consideration when managing rockfish stocks for genetic diversity and productivity. The probability of polyandry increased with increasing weight and condition factor of the female, but not with increasing age or length. These results suggest polyandry is a common mating strategy in quillback rockfish in Alaska and may be related to female size.

description: We study general phase structures of neural-network models that have Z(2) local gauge symmetry. The Z(2) spin variable Si = \pm1 on the i-th site describes a neuron state as in the Hopfield model, and the Z(2) gauge variable Jij = \pm1 describes a state of the synaptic connection between j-th and i-th neurons. The gauge symmetry allows for a self-coupling energy among Jij's such as JijJjkJki, which describes reverberation of signals. Explicitly, we consider the three models; (I) annealed model with full and partial connections of Jij, (II) quenched model with full connections where Jij is treated as a slow quenched variable, and (III) quenched three-dimensional lattice model with the nearest-neighbor connections. By numerical simulations, we examine their phase structures paying attention to the effect of reverberation term, and compare them each other and with the annealed 3D lattice model which has been studied beforehand. By noting the dependence of thermodynamic quantities upon the total number of sites and the connectivity among sites, we obtain a coherent interpretation to understand these results. Among other things, we find that the Higgs phase of the annealed model is separated into two stable spin-glass phases in the quenched cases (II) and (III).

description: Since 2015 Canada has welcomed 44,620 Syrian refugees. The research on Syrian refugees in Canada has mainly focused on their immediate health needs, communicable diseases, and chronic illnesses. Aside from maternal health, the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of Syrian refugee women is undocumented in Canada. To address this gap in the literature we conducted a qualitative study in Ottawa, Ontario that involved in-depth interviews with Syrian refugee women and individuals who provide health services to them. When accessing SRH services Syrian women identified a preference for women providers, faced difficulty adjusting to societal norms during the perinatal period, felt that contraception counselling was not culturally informed, and struggled with their maternal mental health. Key informants mainly echoed these findings and expressed a need for more cultural competency/humility training, interpretation services, and trauma-informed counselling. The path to improving SRH services for Syrian women is complex, but highly warranted.

description: The transport of molecules into and out of the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell is carried out by a family of proteins called the “Importins”. When cells are exposed to environmental stresses that cause damage to the cell, transport carried out by Importins is inhibited. I have shown that a member of this family, Importin 13, is unlike most Importins and can continue to carry out transport of proteins in cells exposed to stress, and show that Importin 13 plays a key role in determining whether the cell should try to recover from the damage or induce cell death.

description: Angle-resolved valence-band resonant photoemission of nickel metal has been measured close to the 2p core-level thresholds with synchrotron radiation. The well-known 6-eV correlation satellite has an intensity enhancement of about two orders of magnitude at resonance. The angular dependence of the photoemission intensity has been studied as function of photon energy and provides unambiguous evidence for interference effects all the way up to the resonance maximum. The observation of different angular asymmetries, β, for the valence band and the satellite is discussed in connection to the origin of the resonant photoemission process and the character of the satellite.

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Biochemistry

description: One of the drivers of triple negative breast cancer is mediated by aberrant EGFR/STAT3 signalling. The findings of this study support a model in which TCPTP deletion in mammary gland results in PTK/STAT3 hyperactivation that contributes to pre-malignant changes. Despite the pro-tumorigenic effects, the findings in this study also define a role for TCPTP to harness the host immune system to potentially impede tumour progression. The results presented in this study are the first to explore the dichotomous roles of TCPTP in tumorigenesis and its interactions with the immune system.

description: Poliovirus hijacks the host cell’s machinery to produce its own proteins for further propagation in the infected cell. In doing this, the virus uses the human protein PCBP2. My project was to investigate, on a molecular level, how the 3D structures in the viral genome attracts PCBP2 and utilizes this protein-RNA hybrid system to recruit the ribosome that reads the viral genome. This work might lead to the development of new therapeutic ways to stop viruses.

description: Most cognitive remediation (CR) programs are based on multiple scientific learning principles. The role of those learning principles in the beneficial effects of CR is poorly understood. A better understanding of such underlying mechanisms is important to further tailor the intervention and to learn about optimal contexts. An explorative secondary analysis was conducted of data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the effects of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) with and without CR. The present study evaluated how CR learning principles of “massed practice,” “errorless learning,” “strategy use” and “therapist contribution” (therapist fidelity) were associated with cognitive and vocational outcomes within 26 participants in this RCT who were treatment exposed. Cognitive gains after CR were positively associated with “massed practice” and “errorless learning.” Negative associations were found with “strategy use” and “therapist fidelity.” No direct relationship was found between CR principles and vocational outcomes. Results tentatively suggest that CR is most effective and efficient with a good balance between sufficient intensity, of more than 200 tasks, and a limited duration of the training up to 20 h, using tasks that remain both challenging and rewarding, being applied in a context that facilitates real-life practice.

description: Resumo

A atenção despertada pelo advento da pandemia provocada pelo COVID-19, em que muitas pessoas começaram a perceber o quanto os ambientes construídos podem impactá-las, e a crescente divulgação da neuroarquitetura, um questionamento aos entrevistados tem sido recorrente sobre qual a relação entre neuroarquitetura e o feng shui. Tendo como referência Jung e Capra, que fizeram experiências, observações e comparações entre a ciência e a filosofia chinesa, o presente estudo teve por objetivo traçar paralelos entre neuroarquitetura, incluindo-se a psicologia ambiental e o design biofílico, pelo caráter interdisciplinar cujo foco é o ser humano e sua relação com o ambiente, e a prática chinesa conhecida como feng shui, A elaboração foi realizada através de pesquisa bibliográfica em livros físicos e digitais, artigos, teses e apontamentos de aulas.

description: We investigate the total flux density, spectral, polarization, and Faraday rotation variability of HST-1 in the M87 jet during the outburst from 2003 to 2007 through multi-epoch VLA observations at 8, 15, and 22 GHz. Contrary to the general case for blazars, the flux densities of HST-1 rise earlier at lower frequencies from radio to X-ray, and the spectra are softening with the growth of outburst, indicating that the newly emerging subcomponents within HST-1 have relatively steep spectra. In particular, the intrinsic EVPA varies monotonically by $\sim90^\circ$ at the 3 wavebands during the period, and all but the stationary subcomponent in the eastern end of HST-1 move downstream superluminally deviating divergently from the overall jet direction, with the motion of the outmost subcomponent bending from one side of the jet axis to another. These strongly argue for the presence of helical magnetic fields around HST-1, which is also supported by the fact that the subcomponents might be accelerated in this region. The fractional polarization is relatively low in the rising stage, and in the decaying stage the polarization levels are almost comparable at the 3 wavebands. In view of the quite large RM values, Faraday rotation is expected to occur dominantly external to HST-1 in the decaying stage, which is well supported by the presence of diffuse emission around HST-1, and consistent with the scenario that RM decrease gets slower with time.

prostate cancer

description: GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms have been studied in many populations to evaluate their association with prostate cancer risk with contrasting results. The current study was aimed to find out the association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms with prostate cancer in Pakistani men. This case control study included pathologically confirmed prostate cancer patients and age matched male controls. Epidemiological data was collected by a standard questionnaire and presence or absence of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene was observed by multiplex PCR using CYP1A1 as housekeeping gene. Prostate cancer was more prevalent in age of >60 years and most of the patients were at stage IV (70 %) and have undergone surgery. Family history of cancer, smoking, metastasis and surgery were found to be significant (P0.05) with prostate cancer risk. No significant association was found when comparing GSTM1 (OR=0.78) and GSTT1 (OR=0.89) gene deletions with prostate cancer risk. Smoking and TNM staging were also not associated with deletion of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes. Comparison of dual null deletion of both genes with prostate cancer also showed non-significant associations. Deletion of GSTM1 gene at stage IV prostate cancer patients was significantly higher compared with other stages of cancer while no significance was shown by GSTT1 gene deletion. GSTM1, GSTT1 and deletion of both GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes do not contribute towards increased risk of prostate cancer in Pakistani population.

description: We experimentally study the optical emission of a thin quantum well and its dynamic modulation by a surface acoustic wave (SAW). We observe a characteristic transition of the modulation from one maximum to two maxima per SAW cycle as the acoustic power is increased which we find in good agreement with numer- ical calculations of the SAW controlled carrier dynamics. At low acoustic powers the carrier mobilites limit electron-hole pair dissociation, whereas at high power levels the induced electric fields give rise to efficient acousto-electric carrier transport. The direct comparison between the experimental data and the numerical simulations provide an absolute calibration of the local SAW phase.

description: Standardization in writing requires a citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.) and format by the learned societies. Most of the writing work is done by academicians and researchers associated with academic or research institutions. In the writing process (an article, report, thesis, project, etc.), many sources of information are referred to and cited. Maintaining a specific writing style is a challenging and time-consuming task for researchers and academicians. EndNote was the first software developed for taking care of in-text citations while writing and putting the references automatically. The present paper deals with the concept of citation management and the proper use of the endnote tool for researchers in their writing work.
Immediate Drop On Demand Technology - A New Technology For Cell Dispensing In A Nanoliter Range
Creators: name: Schober, Lena
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The handling and dosing of cells is the most critical step in the microfabrication of cell-based assay systems for screening and toxicity testing applications. The use of robotic workstations for liquid handling has increased enormously over the last decades, in order to meet the requirements for high accuracy and high throughput of current bioanalytics. However, dispensing small volumes of cell suspensions up to the single cell level is still a great challenge.

The Fraunhofer IPA developed the immediate drop on demand technology (I-DOT) to overcome the challenge of dispensing cells in a small volume precisely and with low shear stress. It is a fast and flexible non-contact liquid handling system enabling dispensing liquids without the risk of cross-contamination down to a precise volume in the nanoliter range.

Liquid is dispensed from a special source plate with a nozzle at the bottom. The small diameter keeps the liquid due to capillary forces inside the well and prevents leaking under normal pressure. To release a defined amount of liquid a short compressed air pulse is given through a quick release valve into the well, exceeding the capillary pressure in the nozzle. Droplets with a defined volume can be spotted directly onto plates or other cell culture devices.

We present a study on the performance and biological impact of this technology by applying viable mammalian cells. The cell line MCF-7, primary skin cells and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were tested for viability, adherence capability, apoptosis induction and proliferative capacity after printing with the I-DOT. Since stem cells are more sensitive to stress compared to cell lines and primary cells, hMSCs were analyzed for their adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation capacity after printing. For all cell types tested, viability after dispensing was comparable to the control, all cells had a viability > 80 %. I-DOT application did not affect hMSCs in undergoing adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation.

I-DOT is an automated dispensing platform which can be easily integrated into automated work stations. It enables the user to apply accurate cells without detrimental fluorochrome tagging and shows promising potential for single cell and non-invasive stem cell application, 3D-bioprinting and biomarker screening.

description: We report in situ measurements of stress evolution in a silicon thin-film electrode during electrochemical lithiation and delithiation by using the Multi-beam Optical Sensor (MOS) technique. Upon lithiation, due to substrate constraint, the silicon electrode initially undergoes elastic deformation, resulting in rapid rise of compressive stress. The electrode begins to deform plastically at a compressive stress of ca. -1.75 GPa; subsequent lithiation results in continued plastic strain, dissipating mechanical energy. Upon delithiation, the electrode first undergoes elastic straining in the opposite direction, leading to a tensile stress of ca. 1 GPa; subsequently, it deforms plastically during the rest of delithiation. The plastic flow stress evolves continuously with lithium concentration. Thus, mechanical energy is dissipated in plastic deformation during both lithiation and delithiation, and it can be calculated from the stress measurements; we show that it is comparable to the polarization loss. Upon current interrupt, both the film stress and the electrode potential relax with similar time-constants, suggesting that stress contributes significantly to the chemical potential of lithiated-silicon.

description: Protein engineering was performed to create an a1-antitrypsin-like serpin that is thermostable while remaining functional. The base molecule for this engineering is a consensus-designed serpin, conserpin, which exhibits extreme thermostability while also being functional as a protease inhibitor. Engineering was performed in two ways: conserpin was engineered to function like a1-antitrypsin while remaining thermostable, and regions of the conserpin were grafted onto a1-antitrypsin to increase thermostability without compromising function. The folding pathway of conserpin was also investigated to provide insight into how thermostable serpins fold under extreme temperatures.

description: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is frequently comorbid with substance use disorder (SUD) in individuals seeking treatment for substance use. Further, SUD and PTSD are individually associated with cognitive impairment (CI) and poor treatment outcomes. Despite the frequent use of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) as a screening tool for CI, the validity of the MoCA has not been established in individuals with comorbid SUD-PTSD. We assessed the criterion validity of the MoCA in 128 participants seeking inpatient medically-assisted detoxification using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) as a reference for CI. The correlation between the RBANS and MoCA was weaker in those with SUD-PTSD (r = .32) relative to SUD alone (r = .56). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves demonstrated that the MoCA had moderate-to-high ability to discriminate CI in individuals with SUD alone, with an area under the ROC curve of .82 (95% CI .69–.92) and optimal cutoff score of ≤23. However, in individuals with comorbid SUD-PTSD, the ROC analysis was not significant. Results suggest that PTSD, when comorbid with SUD, reduces the criterion-related validity of the MoCA. We recommend exercising caution when classifying CI in individuals with SUD-PTSD using the MoCA and suggest reducing the cutoff score to ≤23 in order to limit the rate of false-positive CI diagnoses in SUD-PTSD populations.
