description: A flavonoid enriched extract (FE) was obtained from grape peels, and in vitro SPF, antioxidant activity, and effects on cell viability of this extract were tested with the intent to develop a cosmetic product. A formulation was developed with the FE, and the stability of this mixture was evaluated in terms of pH, density, viscosity, and SPF (90-days). FE showed no cytotoxicity to human keratinocytes and an in vitro SPF of 18.56 (UV-spectrophotometry). Further, FE showed a UVA protection factor of 3.17 ± 0.2, a critical wavelength of 318.0 ± 0.1 and a UVA/UVB of 0.9. Antioxidant activity assays resulted in 92.08% and 86.85% of activity against DPPH and ABTS (IC50 = 296.90 ± 1.2 µg/mL and 643.13 ± 0.9 µg/mL), respectively. Finally, SPF of formulation with FE was 12.45. Results from the in vitro SPF and product stability tests (especially storage under refrigeration), indicate that FE is a promising compound for use as an innovative sunscreen formulation.

How Does Land Use Regulation Impact Housing Development? Evidence from Seattle’s Mandatory Housing Affordability Program
Creators: name: Schrag, Eli Arthur
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Housing

description: To further the understanding of how land use regulation affects housing supply, in this paper I assess the causal impact on multifamily housing development of a significant change in zoning policy that took place in Seattle. This policy dramatically changed zoning regulations and allowed for more dense housing to be bult through in most of the city’s multifamily zones. I avoid the empirical challenge of quantifying variation in the stringency of regulation by using the synthetic control technique to estimate treatment effects of this one instance of zoning reform. I use data from the US Census on the number of multifamily residential building permits issued in each year across US localities from 2006 until 2021. The bulk of the reforms in Seattle took place in 2019, and I estimate that in 2021 Seattle added 5,251 additional multifamily units as a result of the policy change. The findings of this paper provide evidence that relaxing restrictive zoning regulation may significantly increase the development of residential housing.

description: Cryptococcus neoformans is a yeast fungus, which causes cryptococcosis, triggered by basidiospore inhalation and consequent dissemination to the central nervous system. In this study, we analyzed the antifungal action of thymol against 10 clinical strains of C. neoformans and analyzed the interaction of this monoterpene with sterols. The MICs of thymol ranged from 20 to 51 μg/ml, while the MFC values varied between 40 and 101 μg/ml. For the strains ICB-2601 and LM-39, in the presence of ergosterol, the MIC of thymol was 64 μg/ml, and in the presence of cholesterol, its MIC was 32 μg/ml. Based on the results, thymol presents antifungal action and seems to interact with ergosterol, but not with cholesterol. Complementary studies are needed to analyze its full effects.

description: Throughout the nineteenth century, the majority of children in Ontario received at least part of their education from the Sunday school. Much of this institution's success can be attributed to the dedication and commitment of its unpaid workforce. Sunday school teachers were expected to be virtuous, nurturing, moral and dutiful, and it is not surprising that this community of volunteers was made up almost entirely of women. Women's active participation in the Sunday school combined with its popularity made this religious and educational institution an important avenue in the (re)production of gender ideologies in nineteenth-century Ontario. This thesis examines how women Sunday school teachers were involved in establishing their own gender identity by consciously accepting and rejecting ideals of womanhood. It argues that the roles, responsibilities, experiences and opportunities that women had in the Sunday school community allowed them to define their own model of evangelical womanhood. Women reinforced this new ideal to their pupils, but their influence extended beyond their classrooms. They authored and distributed literature found in libraries, participated in conventions with diverse crowds and established important networks of Christian women who campaigned for women's rights within and outside of the church.

description: The ability of cells to maintain their genomic integrity and accurately repair any DNA damage is crucial to their continued survival and functioning. One such type of damage, double-stranded breaks, is primarily addressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) by RecA-mediated homologous recombination, a highly conserved pathway in which the damaged region is matched to a homology, which is then used as a template to bridge the gap. This strand exchange event forms a secondary structure known as a Holliday junction, which must be resolved before the gap can be fully repaired. Although the broad outline of this pathway is well understood, there are still many details that require further investigation. In this study, we examined two proteins, RadA and RadD, which have both been broadly implicated in double-stranded break repair. Previous results have shown shared functions and shared mutant phenotypes, but have not conclusively shown that they physically interact. To that end, we used a yeast two-hybrid assay, which showed an interaction, followed by further yeast two-hybrids in order to examine whether specific RadA mutants could disrupt this interaction.

description: Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes mellitus are contemporary diseases of great concern. Phenolic compounds are linked to several health benefits and could lead to novel strategies to combat these ailments. The objective of this study was to evaluate by electrophoretically-mediated microanalysis the potential inhibitory activity of the fruit juices from Plinia cauliflora (“jaboticaba”) and Eugenia uniflora (“pitanga”) toward acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and α-glucosidase, target enzymes in strategies for the treatment of these diseases. The phenolic profiles of the samples were also investigated. Jaboticaba and pitanga juices inhibited 85.90 ± 1.73 and 52.67 ± 1.24% of AChE activity at 5 mg mL−1, and 57.91 ± 2.60 and 69.47 ± 2.89% of α-glucosidase activity at 1 mg mL−1, respectively. Total phenolic content of the juices were 303.54 ± 28.28 and 367.00 ± 11.42 mgGA L−1, respectively. The observed inhibitory activity can be explained, at least in part, by the presence of the phenolic compounds.

Towards structure determination of the hepatitis C virus p7 protein
Creators: name: Haddad, Lisette
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: The hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects 3% of the world's population and is a major cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer. The p7 protein of HCV has recently gained much attention due, in part, to its essential role in viral infectivity. This small integral membrane protein containing two transmembrane helices is thought to perform this function by forming a heptameric cation-specific ion channel. In order to gain insight into its channel function I have initiated nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments that can start to reveal the structure of this protein. For this purpose a C-terminally His6-tagged p7 was expressed in E. coli as a C-terminal fusion protein to glutathione-S-transferase (GST). This fusion protein was purified under denaturing conditions using nickel affinity chromatography and cleaved using thrombin to separate p7 from GST. Greater than 90% pure His-tagged p7 was obtained using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. 15N, 13C-labeled samples were reconstituted in detergent solutions to allow analysis by solution NMR. A limited series of sample optimization experiments were performed to identify conditions that would give rise to folded p7 in a detergent-micelle complex that would be amenable for chemical shift assignment. Of the conditions tested, p7 solubilized in the lysophospholipid LMPG at 40°C was found to give rise to the most favorable spectrum with a chemical shift dispersion indicative of a helical protein. A suite of three-dimensional triple resonance experiments were then performed and assignment of backbone chemical shifts was initiated. Based on these experiments it was possible to make preliminary chemical shift assignments for over half of the observed resonances. Secondary chemical shift calculations performed with these chemical shifts are consistent with expectations for alpha-helical structure in the TM segments. These results also show that p7 possesses a third helix outside of the putative TM segments. This structure may be important for the proposed genotype-specific function of this part of p7. Overall, the development of protocols to obtain isotope-labeled p7 samples, along with the initiation of NMR analysis, has opened the door to the ultimate goal of p7 structure determination.
Imagining Black Food Justice Through a Black Femme Literary Hermeneutic
Creators: name: Lackwood, Brianna
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2021
Subjects: Black food justice

description: The question of the possibilities of Food Justice within Black communities has been widely debated in both the Food Justice and Food Studies fields, with scholars such as Margaret Ramiréz arguing that there is a racial, social, and economic disconnect between Food Justice Organizations—most of which are white—and the communities they seek to do work in. However, these works have not entirely addressed the critical role that Black women play as they have always practiced methods of care and sustenance for the livelihood of the Black community. My paper addresses the issues of food access within Black communities with special attention to Black food geographies traversed as alternative foodways, the anti-Black climate that has precipitated this, and Black women’s long, unwavering role in either of these issues. Specifically, in my project, I will be looking at The Street by Ann Petry in order to depict Petry as a proto-Food Justice theorist. I will discuss how her depictions of the food landscape in Harlem, through the eyes of the main character Lutie Johnson, significantly contribute to an understanding of the racial and economic underpinnings that characterize Black food geographies. I will contribute these to archives of the range of Black women’s roles in her community and juxtapose them against common opinions about her being to blame Black community’s inferiority. This will reveal the previously misrepresented connections between Black food justice and the center of the Black community, Black women. This will convey that an understanding of food justice within Black spaces must start with an understanding of the position of Black women within them. I argue that as pillars of the Black community, Black women work to materialize Black food geographies in a strive towards a Black food justice that centers self-reliance, resistance, and community. In conclusion, by closely examining Black Food Justice, this project sheds light on the little recognized contributions that Black women have made in the conversations surrounding Black food geographies as an inherently resistant space and regenerative ground for agency and spatial imaginaries.
'Alhamdulelah' and a 'fair go': Muslim women engage with 'belongingness'

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The focus of this paper is on the articulation of feelings as a way to better understand how Muslim women position themselves as self-representing agents - a role understood. here, as a first step towards engaged citizenship. We are not interested in citizenship per se. nor, it must be said, in Islam for itself, though how these elements are conceptualised by these Muslim women certainly shapes this project and cannot remain invisible.
We are examining how the identities of Muslim women transition towards settlement when they relocate We therefore ask how are inclusion and exclusion, as a double-sided expression of Samina Yasmeen's belongingness" 12007) actually experienced and then articulated by Muslim women? Both this concept and this question are placed at the heart of our paper: telongingness' is our central structuring and analytical principle. As settlers developing their social and cultural capital, these women effectively conduct their own analyses of their belongingness' without ever using that unusual word Nevertheless, they constantly articulate their feelings about the process of developing new ways of being. This, we argue, is what sets belongingness' apart from the more objective observation of belonging Belongingness requires the analysis of feelings about belonging and the development of strategies that move subjects towards the identity shifts that constitute manageable ways of living in a new country.
A sense of belonging and engagement as moderators in the relationship between underrepresented STEM students and negative mental health outcomes

description: The mental health and high attrition rates of underrepresented identities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields have been investigated widely in past research, but no study has specifically looked at how two social factors, engagement and a sense of belonging, act as moderators in the academic setting. In this study, 91 Brandeis University STEM students participated in an online survey assessing the relationships between race, first-generation status, and LGBTQ identity with negative mental health outcomes such as burnout, depression, and anxiety. Further, the study hypothesized that two social factors, academic engagement and a sense of belonging, moderate these relationships. Linear regression and hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that underrepresented minority students had higher rates of burnout and depression. Engagement and belonging were significantly associated with lower burnout, depression, and anxiety, while moderation analysis revealed that increased academic engagement was more protective against burnout in non-underrepresented minority students than in underrepresented minority students. Implications of this study include a better understanding of the climate and contextual factors attributing to mental health as well as future directions for the field of STEM research.
(Mis)placing race: Deconstructing myth in televised advertisements for three child sponsorship organizations

description: Direct Response Television (DRTV) programming for child sponsorship is an extremely effective form of fundraising in Canada. However, it also proves to be one way in which racialized knowledge is being reproduced. This project deconstructs the DRTV for three child-sponsorship NGOs: World Vision Canada, Plan Canada, and Christian Children's Fund. What the analysis reveals is a type of advertising dependent on antiquated dynamics of colonial dominance between Canada and Africa. This project also explores the reasons for its success despite Canada's anti-racist rhetoric. Drawing from the works of Roland Barthes, Pierre Bourdieu, Fances Henry and Carol Tator, and others, this study draws conclusions about the cultural identity of the Canadian mainstream, and proposes critical consumption and the questioning of sociocultural norms as a way forward.

Agave fructans could be an alternative to prevent the infections caused by Salmonella.
The location of meaning in football discourse: Racial ideology in NFL draft magazines

Subjects: subject: Black Studies.
subject: Mass Communications.

description: This study looks at how National Football League Draft Magazines represent players of different racial groups and, in turn, the part these magazines play in maintaining a legacy of racist knowledge. A content analysis is used to qualitatively evaluate how black and white players are described and divided through the use of language and how historically-endowed ideologies are translated and maintained through current professional football discourses. The results reveal that the representations of white and black athletes conform to roles that were derived out of historically racist knowledge and that white superiority shapes the evaluation and representation of athletes in professional football, supporting and essentializing traditional racist notions of black and white males.

Urban Planning

description: In the decades following Joseph Stalin’s death in 1953, the Soviet government largely continued his policies of accelerated industrialization. This drive for industrial growth had a profound impact on Soviet forests and the industry that was responsible for their management. While certain sectors of the economy, such as the military and space programs, enjoyed significant attention and monetary contributions from the government in the latter half of the twentieth century, the forestry industry was less fortunate. The Khrushchev and Brezhnev eras (1953-82) were plagued by poor communications between state officials and the management structure of the forestry sector, a lack of investment to train specialists and to develop new technologies and techniques, little commitment to waste reduction and more efficient use of resources, and an inability to break “old habits” that had beset that sector of the industry for decades. While the forestry industry struggled to modernize and reorganize, city planners faced challenges in meeting the demands of city-dwellers and state officials, who demanded the inclusion of urban green spaces and forest belts in both old and new cities. \r \r This thesis analyzes the contemporary Soviet press from the mid-1950s through the early-1980s regarding the functioning of the Soviet forestry industry and the development of urban green spaces and forest belts, revealing the inefficient systems that directed these areas of interest and concern. Although the press reported some areas of progress (e.g. the development of a common positive perception of urban green spaces by the 1980s), the overall assessment was negative, with little tangible improvement in the primary areas of concern. Of the various factors that contributed to this failure, the most egregious included poor communications, disinterest of local and national government officials in the long-term projects, and under-investment in modern technology, techniques, and infrastructure.
Physical drivers of galaxies' cold-gas content: exploring environmental and evolutionary effects with DARK SAGE

description: We combine the latest spectrally stacked data of 21-cm emission from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey with an updated version of the DARK SAGE semi-analytic model to investigate the relative contributions of secular and environmental astrophysical processes on shaping the HI fractions and quiescence of galaxies in the local Universe. We calibrate the model to match the observed mean HI fraction of all galaxies as a function of stellar mass. Without consideration of stellar feedback, disc instabilities and active galactic nuclei, we show how the slope and normalization of this relation would change significantly. We find DARK SAGE can reproduce the relative impact that halo mass is observed to have on satellites' HI fractions and quiescent fraction. However, the model satellites are systematically gas-poor. We discuss how this could be affected by satellite-central cross-contamination from the group-finding algorithm applied to the observed galaxies, but that it is not the full story. From our results, we suggest the anticorrelation between satellites' HI fractions and host halo mass, seen at fixed stellar mass and fixed specific star formation rate, can be attributed almost entirely to ram-pressure stripping of cold gas. Meanwhile, stripping of hot gas from around the satellites drives the correlation of quiescent fraction with halo mass at fixed stellar mass. Further detail in the modelling of galaxy discs' centres is required to solidify this result, however. We contextualize our results with those from other semi-analytic models and hydrodynamic simulations.

description: In this study Eucalyptus globulus essential oil was tested on major mosquito species and toxicity was compared with temephos. Mortality was calculated after 24 h and 48 h post treatment. In 24 h treatment essential oil show strong larvicidal activity with LC50 and LC90 values were 30.198ppm, 103.389ppm for Anopheles stephensi, 13.578ppm, 106.755ppm for Aedes aegypti; and, 7.469ppm, 32.454ppm for Culex quinquefasciatus and 48 h post treatment LC50 and LC90 values were, 12.576, 49.380ppm for Anopheles stephensi, 7.926, 34.470ppm for Aedes aegypti and 4.408, 21.048ppm for Culex quinquefasciatus. Chemical composition of essential oil using GC-MS and FT-IR analysis shows the presence of 1,8-cineol, (71.7%); α-pinene, (9.14%) as a major compounds. Our findings suggest that essential oil from Eucalyptus globulus leaves can be used for control of mosquito larvae.

Dynamics and Rigidity of the Morse Boundary

description: Let $X$ be a proper geodesic metric space and let $G$ be a group of isometries of $X$ which acts geometrically. Cordes constructed the Morse boundary of $X$ which generalizes the contracting boundary for CAT(0) spaces and the visual boundary for hyperbolic spaces. For the first part, we characterize Morse elements in $G$ by their fixed points on the Morse boundary $\partial_MX$. The dynamics on the Morse boundary is very similar to that of a $\delta$-hyperbolic space. In particular, we show that the action of $G$ on $\partial_MX$ is minimal if $G$ is not virtually cyclic. We also get a uniform convergence result on the Morse boundary which gives us a weak north-south dynamics for a Morse isometry. This generalizes the work of Murray in the case of the contracting boundary of a CAT(0) space.For the second part, we investigate additional structures on the Morse boundary which determine the space up to a quasi-isometry. We prove that a homeomorphism between the Morse boundaries of two proper, cocompact spaces is induced by a quasi-isometry if and only if both the homeomorphism and its inverse are bih\"{o}lder, or quasisymmetric, or strongly quasi-conformal.

description: Twenty four extracts from Bignoniaceae plants of northwest Argentina were tested for antifungal activity against Aspergillus species responsible of the grape black rot. Stems and leaves of Amphilophium cynanchoides, Macfadyena cynanchoides, Tecoma stans and Jacaranda mimosifolia were separately extracted with solvents of increasing polarity to obtain the dichloromethane (fCH2Cl2), ethyl acetate (fEtOAc) and methanol extracts (fMeOH). The fCH2Cl2 from stem of M. cynanchoides had the lowest IC50 (1.0–1.2 mg/mL) and MID values (0.6–1.2 mg) and the highest ID values (5.0–6.8 mm) on A. niger and A. carbonarius. The main contributors of the antifungal activity of fCH2Cl2 were identified as lapachol (MIC = 0.25–1.00 mg/ml) and 1-hydroxy-4-methylanthraquinone (MIC = 0.0625–0.125 mg/mL). These compounds synergized the antifungal activity of sodium metabisulfite and showed an additive effect in mixtures with propiconazol. They might be used as additives of commercial antifungals to protect grapes against A. niger and A. carbonarius.
Analytical analysis of the free vibration of partially clamped cantilever plates.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: The method of superposition is used to analyze the free vibration of thin rectangular plates, partially clamped along one edge and free everywhere else. This study has been undertaken because of interest in the dynamic behaviour of electronic circuit boards which are sometimes given support of this nature. This problem is not known to have been studied before using an analytical type method. Eight building blocks are superimposed to obtain the final solution. Each building block is solved individually using the Levy-type solution. A detailed mathematical development of the solution is shown for each building block in dimensionless form. The natural frequencies and mode shapes for plates with varying aspect ratios and clamped lengths can be found using this method. Eigenvalues are shown to converge and tabulated values are given to at least three digit accuracy. Frequencies and mode shapes agree very well with experimentally found results and with results found using a commercially used finite element method software package.

The effect of flow geometry on critical heat flux.
Creators: name: Joober, Khaled.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: An extensive and systematic literature review on the effect of flow geometry on the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) has been performed. This review covers most of the flow geometries such as tubes, concentric and eccentric annuli, rectangular channels, irregular-shaped channels and bundles. The following geometric parameters have been found to strongly influence the CHF: (i) hydraulic-equivalent diameter, (ii) heated-equivalent diameter, (iii) gap size, (iv) unheated adjacent surface, (v) heated adjacent surface, (vi) curvature, (vii) eccentricity (including bowing), and (viii) channel shape. It is found that some of the geometric effects on CHF depend on the flow conditions and the CHF type. For each geometry the parametric trends have been described, whenever sufficient experimental results are available. A review and assessment of the available prediction methods is conducted. The following trends have been identified in this study: (i) in general the CHF in annuli (concentric and eccentric) is lower than that in tubes, especially for high quality and narrow gaps; (ii) for rectangular channels and irregular-shaped channels, corners can cause a large CHF reduction; (iii) the CHF for concave surface is significantly higher than the CHF for a convex surface; (iv) the effect of gap size in concentric annuli is different for a departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) type CHF and CHF type for the annular flow regime. For the first CHF type reduction in gap size results in a CHF decrease, while for the second CHF type it results in CHF enhancement; and (v) heating the adjacent surface results in a CHF increase. Based on the observed trends, CHF correction factors have been derived for each geometry. Finally, an interim CHF prediction method for subchannels and flow conditions of interest to CANDU$\sp*$ reactors has been proposed. ftn$\sp*$CANDU--CANada Deuterium Uranium, a registered trademark.
Seeing Black Women as Winners: An Analysis on Contemporary Media Bias Against Women of Color Running for the U.S. House Of Representatives in 2020

description: The language journalists use to describe politicians has the ability to influence the way voters perceive candidates, and this influence increases during moments of low information like the primaries of a campaign (Peacock et. al, 2021). The power of media framing coupled with language that is known to be harmful to political candidates serves as the jumping point for my research (Lay et. al, 2019). In this project I examine whether the presence of Black women in a congressional primary correlates with media coverage that is more focused on the viability, electability, and competitiveness in comparison to campaigns that do not have Black women present. I hypothesize that campaigns with women of color receive less coverage in comparison to campaigns with only white women who ran in the 2020 primaries. I also hypothesize that campaigns with women of color have more coverage that focuses on the electability and viability of the candidates. To test these hypotheses, I conduct a content analysis of American-based newspapers that cover the 32 campaigns I have selected for this project (16 races with no women of color and only white women running and 16 races with at least one Black woman running). These results will contribute to work that seeks to understand how gender and race operate intersectionally in electoral politics and how they may shape the electoral chances of Black women running for office.
MDMA and brain activity during neurocognitive performance: An overview of neuroimaging studies with abstinent 'Ecstasy' users

description: MDMA/Ecstasy has had a resurgence in popularity, with recent supplies comprising higher strength MDMA, potentially leading to increased drug-related harm. Neurocognitive problems have been widely reported in ecstasy users, equally some studies report null findings, and it remains unclear which factors underlie the development of neurocognitive impairments. This review covers the empirical research into brain activity during neurocognitive performance, using fMRI, fNIRS, and EEG. Our main conclusion is that chronic repeated use of recreational ecstasy can result in haemodynamic and electrophysiological changes that reflect recruitment of additional resources to perform cognitive tasks.Findings are consistent with serotonergic system changes, although whether this reflects neurotoxicity or neuroadaptation, cannot be answered from these data. There is a degree of heterogeneity in the methodologies and findings, limiting the strengths of current conclusions. Future research with functional neuroimaging paired with molecular imaging, genetics or pharmacological challenges of the serotonin system may help to decipher the link between serotonergic and cognitive changes in ecstasy users.
