Characterization of the molecular basis for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) transformation by biphenyl dioxygenase
Creators: name: Gomez Gil, Leticia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Biphenyl dioxygenase (BPDO) is the first enzyme in the bph pathway, catalyzing the dihydroxylation of biphenyl and some polychlorinated biphenyls. The BPDOs of different bacterial strains possess different abilities to transform PCBs. To better understand the molecular basis of these different abilities, highly active preparations of four BPDOs were anaerobically purified and characterized: BPDO[sub LB400] from Burkholderia xenovorans LB400, BPDO[sub B356] from Comamonas testosteroni B-356, and two engineered variants, BPDO₁₁₉ and BPDO₁₁₁₀. BPDO₁₁₉ is a variant of BPDO[sub LB400] containing four substituted residues: T335G, F336I, N338T, and I341T. These residues correspond to those found in BPDO[sub B356], belong to region III identified by Mondello et al, and contribute to the substrate-binding pocket of the enzyme. BPDO₁₁₁₀ contains these substitutions as well as A267S. Steady-state kinetics assays demonstrated that of the four variants, BPDO[sub B356] had the highest apparent k[sub cat] for biphenyl, which was 10-fold higher than that of BPDO[sub LB400]. By contrast, BPDO[sub LB400] had the highest apparent substrate specificity for biphenyl and was 10-fold higher than that of BPDO[sub B356]. The steady-state parameters of BPDO₁₁₉ and BPDO₁₁₁₀ for biphenyl were intermediate between those of the two parental enzymes. The identity of the residue at position 267 had a greater effect on the parameters than the identity o f the region III residues. In all variants, the consumption of oxygen was well-coupled to that of biphenyl. The abilities o f the four variant BPDOs to transform PCB congeners were investigated using three different methods: (1) purified enzymes and individual congeners; (2) purified enzymes and a mixture of 8 congeners; and (3) whole cells and a mixture of 8 congeners. The results obtained by each method were consistent. Most strikingly, BPDO[sub B356] transformed a greater number of congeners at a faster rate than the other enzymes. Previously unrecognized activities of BPDO[sub B356] include the 2,3-dihydroxyation of 2,4,4'-triCl biphenyl as well as the 2,3- and 3,4- dihydroxyation of 2,6-diCl biphenyl. For BPDO[sub LB400] and BPDO[sub B356], the degree of uncoupling was inversely related to how well the congener was transformed. The PCB-transforming abilities of BPDO₁₁₉ and BPDO₁₁₁₀ were more similar to those of BPDO[sub LB400]. However, both showed improved ability to transform either para- (BPDO₁₁₉) or meta-substituted congeners (BPDO₁₁₁₀). The crystal structures of BPDO[sub LB400] and BPDO₁₁₉ further confirmed the role of residues in region III in the range of substrates accepted by BPDO.

description: By using the generalized Boltzmann equation of transport in nonextensive statistics, we study transport properties of the diffusion flux and the heat flux of charged particles in the weakly ionized plasma with the power-law q-distributions under the magnetic field. We derive the tensor expressions of diffusion coefficient, thermal diffusion coefficient, mobility and thermal conductivity of electrons and ions in the q-distributed plasma under magnetic field. We show that the tensors of the diffusion coefficient, the thermal diffusion coefficient and the thermal conductivity are strongly depend on the q-parameters in nonextensive statistics, and so they are generally not the same as those in the magnetized plasma with a Maxwell distribution.

description: The research material consisted of data regarding an autumn variety of raspberries Polesie. Field experiments were conducted on commercial plantation with an area of 1,2 hectares between the years 2011-2013. The production was established on sandy soil classified as IVb bonitation class. The aim of the study was to determine the economic efficiency of Polesie production on the basis of SGM (Standard Gross Margin). The research found that the production of raspberries in 2011-2013 was profitable. In the direct cost structure, the purchase of raspberry seedlings was one of the lowest expenses unlikely to some specific costs which covered labor hired to manual harvesting.
title: Insecticidal Natural Products From Sri Lankan Plants

Year: 1997

description: This thesis describes investigations of the insecticidal compounds of three Sri Lankan plants, Pleurostylia opposita (Wall) Alston (Celastraceae), Aegle marmelos Correa (Rutaceae) and Excoecaria agallocha Linn. (Euphorbiaceae). After establishing the insecticidal activity of the extracts of three plants, separation of compounds was achieved by bio-assay directed chromatography, and the compounds were characterised by NMR especially 2D experiments, mass, UV and IR spectroscopy.

 Three new macrocyclic sesquiterpene polyol ester alkaloids 1, 2 and 3 containing a novel 6,7 ring skeleton have been identified from the petroleum ether-ethyl acetate extract of the stem bark of Pleurstylia opposita. They are homologues of known macrocyclic sesquiterpene alkaloids which contains a 6,6 ring system based on the ß-dihydroagarofuran core. The extra methylene has been shown by NMR to be in the 8 position of the 6,7 ring. Observation of insecticidal activity in the Pleurostylia genus is novel. The previously reported 20-hydroxylupane-3- one has also been identified from the active extract and shown to be noninsecticidal.

 Two new insecticidal compounds 6 and 7 have been identified from the petroleum ether-ethyl acetate extract of the stem bark of Aegle marmelos. They are shown to be protolimonoids, and are senecioate ester analogues of the known isovalerate esters of C-21-ß and C-21-α glabretal which were also isolated. Compounds 8 and 9 were also found to be insecticidal against mustard beetles and houseflies. Separation and characterisation of epimeric mixtures were first achieved for the di p-nitrobenzoate derivative.

 Previously recorded epoxyaurapten, marmesin, marmin and lupeol have been isolated from the active extract of Aegle marmelos and shown to be noninsecticidal.

 Five compounds 24-28 have been isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the stem bark of Excoecaria agallocha. They all have the previously reported daphnane diterpenoid orthoester skeleton, and differ only in the orthoester alkyl side chain. Two of them 24 and 27 are novel. Insecticidal activity has not been recorded previously for extracts of Excoecaria species, nor for the daphnane orthoesters.

description: This study will be looking into whether the levels of job commitment and job satisfaction are highly related by the type of leadership style portrayed by leaders in higher educational organisations. It will be descriptive research to further understand the correlational relationship between arrogance leadership (independent variable) and job commitment and job satisfaction (dependent variables). The research instrument is an online questionnaire through an online platform – Google Form. The data will be analysed using SPSS software. Practically, this study will help the higher educational organisation and its management to identify the level of arrogance leadership, job commitment, and job satisfaction within its organisation. Theoretically, on the other hand, this study will be unique as it will focus on the Malaysian context. Besides, there are a lot of studies on leadership but not many are on arrogance leadership, especially in Malaysia. 
uvbyCaHbeta CCD Photometry of Clusters. V. The Metal-Deficient Open Cluster NGC 2243

description: CCD photometry on the intermediate-band uvbyCaHbeta system is presented for the metal-deficient open cluster, NGC 2243. Restricting the data to probable single members of the cluster using the CMD and the photometric indices alone generates a sample of 100 stars at the cluster turnoff. The average E(b-y) = 0.039 (0.003 s.e.m.) or E(B-V) = 0.055 (0.004 s.e.m.), where the errors refer to internal errors alone. With this reddening, [Fe/H] is derived from both m_1 and hk, using b-y and Hbeta as the temperature index. The agreement among the four approaches is excellent, leading to a final weighted average of [Fe/H] = -0.57 (0.03 s.e.m.) for the cluster, on a scale where the Hyades has [Fe/H] = +0.12. Using a combination of photometric and spectroscopic data, 27 probable cluster members are identified and used to delineate the red giant branch and a well-defined clump at V = 13.70, while eliminating the so-called second clump at V = 14.1. Interpolation between isochrones of appropriate [Fe/H] leads to an apparent modulus of (m-M) = 13.15 +/- 0.1 and an age of 3.8 +/- 0.2 Gyr. A differential CMD comparison with Berkeley 29, a cluster with a galactocentric distance almost twice that of NGC 2243, constrains Berkeley 29 to be at least as young and as metal-rich as NGC 2243.

description: Hukum waris sangat dibutuhkan untuk menghilangkan kemudharatan akibat perebutan dan ketidakadilan pembagian harta warisan. Hukum waris menawarkan solusi terbaik yang penuh hikmah dan keadilan. Namun solusi tersebut tidak sepenuhnya diterima dan dijalankan umat Islam. Kritikan dan pandangan keliru pun dilontarkan terhadap teks al-Qur’an. Terutama interpretasi tentang ketidaksamaan pembagian waris antara laki-laki dan perempuan yang dipahami sebagai ketidakadilan dan diskriminasi terhadap perempuan. Bertolak dari kenyataan ini penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji ayat-ayat waris secara komprehensif dan melibatkan banyak pandangan dari para ulama dan pakar Muslim. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan tafsir yang melibatkan kajian kebahasaan, sejarah, dan relevansinya dengan konteks kekinian didapati bahwa tidak sepenuhnya anggapan tentang diskriminasi itu benar. Bahkan menampakkan asumsi yang tidak tepat, karena dalam banyak kasus justru bagian perempuan lebih banyak dari bagian laki-laki.
title: Modelling The World : The Social Constructions Of Systems Analysts
Creators: name: Bloomfield, Brian Peter
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1984

description: This dissertation is concerned with a case study of system dynamics, a well-known simulation modelling methodology, and its implicit theory of social system behaviour. System dynamics is policy oriented and is directed towards the control and management of social systems. It originally evolved in the context of military systems and then the application of systems engineering to the problems of corporate management, but was later expanded to tackle the problems of urban decay, population growth, and environmental collapse. It is therefore now aimed at large scale social engineering. The aim of the dissertation is to take tools drawn largely from the sociology of knowledge in order t o provide a perspective on the development of this particular strand of the systems movement. We investigate the status of system dynamics as a cultural artefact which is both a product of social structures and a resource for mediating and reinforcing such structures. The dissertation is addressed to the systems community, but must also meet the academic standards of the sociology of knowledge. There are seven chapters. The first two deal with the background to system dynamics and with methodological aspects of the perspective adopted in our approach. The following two chapters examine system dynamics as a social construction: firstly, with special emphasis on the social development of the cultural context in which it evolved; and secondly, on the social experience and cosmology of the System Dynamics Group at MIT. The next two chapters deal with the social effects of system dynamics, particularly its role as a 'binding agent' in negotiating social consensus. The seventh and final chapter discusses our conclusions.

description: Yield stress fluids are widely used in industrial application to arrest dense solid particles, which can be studied by using a concentrated emulsion as a model fluid. We show in experiments that particle sedimentation in emulsions cannot be predicted by the classical criterion for spheres embedded in a yield stress fluid. Phase separation processes take place, where a liquid layer forms and particle sedimentation is enhanced by the emulsion drainage. In addition, emulsion drainage can be arrested or enhanced by the amount of particles embedded in the emulsion. A minimal mathematical model is developed and solved in numerical simulations to describe the emulsion drainage in the presence of particles, which favorably compares with the experimental stability diagram and the sedimentation dynamics.

description: We analyze the laser cooling of polarizable particles by continuous dispersive position detection and active feedback. The magnitude of the dissipative force is proportional to the particles' photon scattering rate into the detector, while its velocity dependence is determined by the programmable frequency dependence of the loop gain. The method combines final temperatures near the recoil limit with large velocity capture range, and is applicable to multilevel atoms or molecules.

description: The paper has explored the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on the International Financial Market. The most recent works have considered the effects of the coronavirus on the International Money Market worldwide. Essential information is gathered from various online media, insightful diaries, different sorts of research papers, college diaries, and other online sources, and so on. The paper finds that passages will flop as various countries are taking practically identical exercises to slow the spread of the disease. There are extraordinary arrangement associations, families, governments and money related investigators who don't consider the financial consequence of the spreading contamination. State and governments are at the cutting edges of the current crisis. The securities exchange has experienced gigantic gyrations in the course of recent weeks. The Federal Reserve has strongly cut credit expenses to zero. The finding indicates that The IMF and the World Bank scrambled to provide a mutual proclamation declaring their significance to support "Address the Human Disaster and Economic Challenge" inaugurated during the contamination. National banks must assist solicitation and assurance by hindering a fixing of budgetary conditions, cutting down on gaining costs for families and firms and ensuring market liquidity. This investigation makes policymakers reconsider their move for more assistance and assembling segment organization, however not for farming contribution to fallback.

description: We present a CCD photometric survey for the search of variable stars in four open clusters namely Berkeley 69, King 5, King 7, and Berkeley 20. The time series observations were carried out for 1 and/or 2 nights for each of the clusters in the year 1998, which have led to identify nineteen variable stars in these clusters. Out of these 19 variable stars, five stars show delta Scuti like variability and two stars show W UMa type variability. In other stars, we could not find the periods and hence the type of variability due to the lack of sufficient data. The periods of delta Scuti type stars are found to be in the range of 0.13 to 0.21 days, whereas the two stars in the cluster Berkeley 20, which showed W UMa type variability have orbital periods of 0.396 and 0.418 days, respectively. Using the Gaia data, the basic parameters of the clusters Berkeley 69, King 7 and King 5 are also revised. The age and reddening are estimated to be 0.79 \pm 0.09 Gyr and 0.68 \pm 0.03 mag for Berkeley 69, 0.79 \pm 0.09 Gyr and 1.22 \pm 0.03mag for the cluster King 7 and 1.59 \pm 0.19 Gyr and 0.63 \pm 0.02 mag for the cluster King 5, respectively. Signature of mass segregation is found in the clusters King 7 and King 5.

We focus our attention on autonomous robots, so given the robot's dimensions and the inclination angles of the camera, it is possible to predict the spatial scale for each pixel of the input frame. With slightly modified YOLOv3-tiny we demonstrate that the detection supplemented by the scale channel, further referred as S, outperforms standard RGB-based detection with small computational overhead.

description: A universal programmable detector is a device that can be tuned to perform any desired measurement on a given quantum system, by changing the state of an ancilla. With a finite dimension d for the ancilla only approximate universal programmability is possible, with "size" d=f(1/e) increasing function of the "accuracy" 1/e. In this letter we show that, much better than the exponential size known in the literature, one can achieve polynomial size. An explicit example with linear size is also presented. Finally, we show that for covariant measurements exact programmability is feasible.

Governing Oil Inc. : socially responsible investment and the new governance gap
Creators: name: Hamilton, Ashley N.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Civil society groups have had some success, in recent times, at using socially responsible investment (SRI) activism to influence the behaviour of western corporations that undertake oil and gas operations in countries where human rights and environmental concerns pose high risks for investment. However, similar initiatives have been largely unsuccessful at governing the behaviour of state-owned firms that are increasingly moving their operations overseas and operating in similarly risky situations. Very little academic research has examined the governance implications of the transnationalization of state-owned firms or assessed how activists attempt to influence the behaviour of these corporations through non-state mechanisms of governance. The intention of this paper, therefore, is to contribute to an area of research that so far, is poorly developed and understood in political science. A comparative look at two SRI campaigns aimed at the independent Canadian oil company Talisman Energy, and the state-owned firm China National Petroleum Corporation will demonstrate that SRI activism has forced a wedge between those firms held accountable to market forces, and those who enjoy a quasi-state status. Western corporations driven by their profit motive are pressured by activists to demonstrate behaviour identified here as upward competitive advantage, where they are increasingly encouraged to compete with other firms of similar nature by adopting more comprehensive and transparent CSR policies. In turn, their comparatively less-transparent counterparts enjoy a downward competitive advantage, benefiting from their ability to evade market-based governance tactics. The result is a growing governance gap in the oil industry that will likely become more concerning as large state-owned oil corporations increasingly move their operations overseas. All is not lost however, as SRI activism has had small successes in inserting corporate social responsibility considerations into the decision-making apparatus of the New York Stock Exchange and subsequently onto the agendas of CEOs and powerful investment management firms. The small successes of SRI campaigning demonstrates an increasing desire and ability of non-state actors to engage in and wield powerful market mechanisms of governance, and as a result of their efforts, activists have created a new space for debating, contesting and influencing the outcomes of global governance.

description: For $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory without matter it is demonstrated that there is a class of renormalization schemes, in which the exact Novikov, Shifman, Vainshtein, and Zakharov (NSVZ) formula for the renormalization group $β$-function, defined in terms of the renormalized coupling constant, is valid. These schemes are related with each other by finite renormalizations forming a one-parameter commutative subgroup of general renormalization group transformations. The analogy between the exact $β$-function in $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory without matter and the $β$-function of quantum chromodynamics in the C-scheme is discussed.

Coherent control of optical four-wave mixing by two-color $ω$-$3ω$ ultrashort laser pulses

description: A theoretical investigation on the quantum control of optical coherent four-wave mixing interactions in two-level systems driven by two intense synchronized femtosecond laser pulses of central angular frequencies $ω$ and $3ω$ is reported. By numerically solving the full Maxwell-Bloch equations beyond the slowly-varying envelope and rotating-wave approximations in the time domain, the nonlinear coupling to the optical field at frequency $5ω$ is found to depend critically on the initial relative phase $ϕ$ of the two propagating pulses; the coupling is enhanced when the pulses interfere constructively in the center ($ϕ=0$), while it is nearly suppressed when they are out of phase ($ϕ=π$). The tuning of the initial absolute phase of the different frequency components of synchronously propapagating $ω$-$3ω$ femtosecond pulses can serve as a means to control coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) processes.

description: This paper is concerned with two generalizations of the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions that have more or less recently appeared. The Hopf algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions and its dual, the Hopf algebra of quasisymmetric functions. The focus is on the incredibly rich structure of the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions and the question of which structures and properties have good analogues for the noncommutative symmetric functions and/or the quasisymmetric functions. This paper attempt to survey the ongoing investigations in this topic as dictated by the knowledge and interests of its author. There are many open questions that are discussed.

The mass composition of cosmic rays above 10^17 eV

description: Our knowledge of the mass composition of cosmic rays is deficient at all energies above 10^17. Here systematic differences between different measurements are discussed and, in particular, it is argued that there is no compelling evidence to support the common assumption that vast majority of the cosmic rays of the highest energies are protons. Our knowledge of the mass needs to be improved if we are to resolve uncertainties about the energy spectrum. Improvement is also needed for proper interpretation of data on the arrival direction distribution of cosmic ray.

Energy-Efficient Control Adaptation with Safety Guarantees for Learning-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems

description: Neural networks have been increasingly applied for control in learning-enabled cyber-physical systems (LE-CPSs) and demonstrated great promises in improving system performance and efficiency, as well as reducing the need for complex physical models. However, the lack of safety guarantees for such neural network based controllers has significantly impeded their adoption in safety-critical CPSs. In this work, we propose a controller adaptation approach that automatically switches among multiple controllers, including neural network controllers, to guarantee system safety and improve energy efficiency. Our approach includes two key components based on formal methods and machine learning. First, we approximate each controller with a Bernstein-polynomial based hybrid system model under bounded disturbance, and compute a safe invariant set for each controller based on its corresponding hybrid system. Intuitively, the invariant set of a controller defines the state space where the system can always remain safe under its control. The union of the controllers' invariants sets then define a safe adaptation space that is larger than (or equal to) that of each controller. Second, we develop a deep reinforcement learning method to learn a controller switching strategy for reducing the control/actuation energy cost, while with the help of a safety guard rule, ensuring that the system stays within the safe space. Experiments on a linear adaptive cruise control system and a non-linear Van der Pol's oscillator demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on energy saving and safety enhancement.

description: Solid contacts involving soft materials are important in mechanical engineering or biomechanics. Experimentally, such contacts have been shown to shrink significantly under shear, an effect which is usually explained using adhesion models. Here we show that quantitative agreement with recent high-load experiments can be obtained, with no adjustable parameter, using a non-adhesive model, provided that finite deformations are taken into account. Analysis of the model uncovers the basic mechanisms underlying shear-induced area reduction, local contact lifting being the dominant one. We confirm experimentally the relevance of all those mechanisms, by tracking the shear-induced evolution of tracers inserted close to the surface of a smooth elastomer sphere in contact with a smooth glass plate. Our results suggest that finite deformations are an alternative to adhesion, when interpreting a variety of sheared contact experiments involving soft materials.

description: The effect of changing the lattice action for the gluon field on the recently observed [1] first order phase transition near zero quark mass is investigated by replacing the Wilson plaquette action by the DBW2 action. The lattice action for quarks is unchanged: it is in both cases the original Wilson action. It turns out that Wilson fermions with the DBW2 gauge action have a phase structure where the minimal pion mass and the jump of the average plaquette are decreased, when compared to Wilson fermions with Wilson plaquette action at similar values of the lattice spacing. Taking the DBW2 gauge action is advantageous also from the point of view of the computational costs of numerical simulations.

description: Cardiac diseases are the number one reasons for death in the western world. Computational simulations provide the opportunity to conduct experiments and predictions that are not possible in humans due to ethical and other reasons. High performance computation allows the use of demanding coupled computational models of high complexity and a high level of detail, complying with a wide range of experimental data from the human heart. In this thesis, different aspects of computational heart modeling are covered: models describing passive tissue behavior, active contractile behavior, circulatory system modeling, influences of the pericardium and surrounding tissue on the heart as well as methods to obtain suitable parameters for these models. For each aspect, several modeling approaches are presented and compared. Finally, a scalability evaluation of the highly-parallelized implementation and an evaluation of the proper choice of mesh resolution for credible numerical results are covered. Concludingly, this thesis allows the reader to gain insights into the complexity of computational heart modeling and to make an appropriate choice of models and parameters suitable for specific applications.

description: Telekommunikationsunternehmen treten zunehmend als Finanziers der immer teureren Endgeräte auf. Mit einher geht die Gefahr von Zahlungsausfällen betrügerischer Kunden, die versuchen, Mobiltelefone, aber auch Dienstleistungen des Providers gratis zu nutzen, d.h. ohne jemals eine einzige Rechnung zu begleichen. Klassische Kreditschutzverfahren stellen keinen ausreichenden Schutz dar. Moderne maschinelle Lernverfahren können aufgrund einer besseren Segmentierung der Kunden wesentliche Vorteile bieten. Der Einsatz von speziell kostenbasierten Algorithmen können die Einsparungen noch erhöhen. Wir vergleichen die Ergebnisse des klassischen Bonitätsprüfungsprozesses unseres Partners mit normalen und speziell kostenbasierten Verfahren des maschinellen Lernens. Hierzu entwickeln wir eine Kostenmatrix um das Risiko im Einzelfall optimal beurteilen zu können.
description: Telecommunication providers not only offer services but increasingly finance consumer devices. Credit scoring and the detection of fraud for new account applications gained importance as standard credit approval processes showed to fall short for new customers as there is only scarce information available in internal systems. Modern machine learning algorithms, however, can still infer intricate patterns from the data and thus can efficiently classify customers. Cost-sensitive methodologies can even enhance the savings. In this thesis, we develop a cost matrix which allows evaluating the individual risk of accepting a new customer and therefore helps to prevent new account subscription fraud optimally.

description: We present the study of deuteration of cyanoacetylene (HC$_3$N) towards a sample of 28 high-mass star-forming cores divided into different evolutionary stages, from starless to evolved protostellar cores. We report for the first time the detection of DC$_3$N towards 15 high-mass cores. The abundance ratios of DC$_3$N with respect HC$_3$N range in the interval 0.003$-$0.022, lower than those found in low-mas protostars and dark clouds. No significant trend with the evolutionary stage, or with the kinetic temperature of the region, has been found. We compare the level of deuteration of HC$_3$N with those of other molecules towards the same sample, finding weak correlation with species formed only or predominantly in gas phase (N$_2$H$^+$ and HNC, respectively), and no correlation with species formed only or predominantly on dust grains (CH$_3$OH and NH$_3$, respectively). We also present a single-dish map of DC$_3$N towards the protocluster IRAS 05358+3543, which shows that DC$_3$N traces an extended envelope ($\sim$0.37 pc) and peaks towards two cold condensations separated from the positions of the protostars and the dust continuum. The observations presented in this work suggest that deuteration of HC$_3$N is produced in the gas of the cold outer parts of massive star-forming clumps, giving us an estimate of the deuteration factor prior to the formation of denser gas.
