Essays on the inventory theory of money demand
Creators: name: Li, Chen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The goal of this dissertation is to examine the theoretical and empirical implications of the inventory theoretic approach to the demand for money. Chapter 1 reviews the existing inventory theoretic frameworks and empirical money demand literature and provides an overview of this thesis. One of the main conclusions is that the elasticity results from the existing inventory theoretic models are not robust. Chapter 2 develops a partial equilibrium inventory theoretic model, in which a fixed cost is involved per cash transfer. The key feature is that a firm endogenously chooses the frequency of pay periods, which a household takes as given. When the firm must borrow working capital and pay wages by cheque, I show that both the firm and the household choose to transfer cash every payday only. The model keeps the basic result from the classical inventory theoretic approach that both the income and interest elasticity of money demand are 0.5. Chapter 3 extends the partial equilibrium model into a general equilibrium framework and shows that the partial equilibrium elasticity results no longer apply in the general equilibrium. First, the income elasticity is 1 in the general equilibrium. Second, the interest elasticity has two values depending on a threshold interest rate. When interest rates are below this threshold, the model is the Cash-In-Advance model with a constant income velocity of money and zero interest elasticity; otherwise the interest elasticity is close to 0.5 and the velocity fluctuates in response to variations in interest rates. Finally, the general equilibrium elasticity results are robust across alternative specifications of the agent's utility. Chapter 4 calibrates the general equilibrium model to the last 40 years of US data for M1. By constructing a residual measure of money transaction costs from the structural money demand function, I find that a structural break in the transaction costs occurred in 1981 might have been responsible for the instability of long-run money demand. The benefit of this approach is that it can explain this pattern of money demand without appealing to an exogenous structural break in the money demand function.
KGF-1 and KGF receptor expression in human periodontal disease and in vitro microwounding-associated-ligand-independent KGFR activation
Creators: name: Li, Min
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Objectives: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammation resulting in periodontal attachment loss. Keratinocyte Growth Factor-1 (KGF-1) is upregulated in chronic inflammation and specifically stimulates epithelial cell proliferation by signaling through the epithelial-specific Keratinocyte Growth Factor Receptor (KGFR). First, we examined KGF-1 and KGFR expression and localization in human periodontal tissues. Second, we extended these studies by developing an in vitro mechanical wound model to mimic trauma to the periodontal pocket epithelium and examined ligand independent KGFR activation and cell migration. Methods: In our study of human gingival tissues, we used immunohistochemistry and laser capture microdissection with RT-PCR to analyze KGF-1 and KGFR expression and localization. To study ligand independent KGFR phosphorylation, KGFR internalization along the wound edge was imaged using immunohistochemical staining and KGFR phosphorylation confirmed using immunoprecipitation with western blotting. Wounding induced oxidative stress was detected using DCFH-DA (2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate) and modulated by pretreatment with an antioxidant. Changes in migration were examined in the presence or absence of pathway specific inhibitors. Results: KGF-1 protein localized to areas of junctional and basal oral epithelial cells was significantly increased in periodontal pocket epithelium (p<0.01) and oral epithelium (p<0.05) of disease-associated tissues. KGFR localized to the junctional and the parabasal cells of oral epithelium, and was increased in disease-associated pocket epithelium (p<0.05). Laser capture microdissection with RT-PCR confirmedKGF-1 and KGFR were specifically expressed by connective tissue and epithelium, respectively. In our cell culture model, mechanical wounding induced ligand independent KGFR activation. ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) generation along the wound edge was associated with KGFR activation and scavenging of ROS reduced KGFR phosphorylation. The c-Src family inhibitor, PP1, significantly inhibited KGFR phosphorylation. Functionally cell migration was reduced by PP1 (82.7%), SU5402(70%) and PD98059 (57%). Conclusions: KGF-1 and KGFR proteins are expressed in health but significantly induced in human diseased periodontal tissues. Microwounding associated generation of ROS mediates KGFR phosphorylation via c-Src kinase signaling and induced wound edge cell migration. Therefore, regulation of epithelial cell behavior associated with the onset and progression of periodontal disease may possibly be mediated by two related but distinct mechanisms. (1) Ligand-dependent activation of KGFR due to upregulation of KGF-1. (2) Ligand-independent activation of KGFR due to chronic microwounding.

Holotype (not examined)
Holotype (type locality: Cabo Verde; Boa Vista Island, Baía de Sal Rei; intertidal to 1 m depth) stated to be at MNCN in Trovão & Rolán (1986), but apparently it was never deposited (as per a note in the collection). Instead, a lot of three paratypes was present, with registration number MNCN 15.05/1011. We have selected the specimen from which the mitogenome was sequenced as neotype for the taxon Conus diminutus Trovão & Rolán, 1986.

Geographical distribution
West and northwest coast of Boa Vista Island, Cabo Verde Archipelago.
Conservation status in IUCN Red List
Near threatened. Status revision required.
Remarks
Africonus diminutus is a small, highly variable species endemic to the west coast of Boa Vista Island. Whereas typical specimens of A. diminutus are found around the locality of Sal Rei, specimens from Morro de Areia introduced under the name A. morroensis exhibit almost identical mitogenome sequences despite the variations in shell morphology, and are considered conspecific with A. diminutus. This represents a significant expansion of the distribution range for the species. According to the reconstructed phylogeny, A. diminutus is sister to A. boavistensis, also very variable in shell pattern and widely distributed around Boa Vista Island.

Remarks
This species has not been examined molecularly. It is morphologically similar to A. antoniaensis, but smaller sized. Radular examination (E. Rolán, pers. com. to MJT) indicated a fully-developed, mature tooth for such a small-sized shell, consistent with that of an adult individual. This observation rules out the possibility of this taxon being a juvenile of another species. We hereby consider it as provisionally valid, pending confirmation by molecular studies.

description: The transition from immunoglobulin M (IgM) to affinity-matured IgG antibodies is vital for effective humoral immunity. This is facilitated by germinal centers (GCs) through affinity maturation and preferential maintenance of IgG+ B cells over IgM+ B cells. However, it is not known whether the positive selection of the different Ig isotypes within GCs is dependent on specific transcriptional mechanisms. Here, we explored IgG1+ GC B cell transcription factor dependency using a CRISPR-Cas9 screen and conditional mouse genetics. We found that MIZ1 was specifically required for IgG1+ GC B cell survival during positive selection, whereas IgM+ GC B cells were largely independent. Mechanistically, MIZ1 induced TMBIM4, an ancestral anti-apoptotic protein that regulated inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)-mediated calcium (Ca2+) mobilization downstream of B cell receptor (BCR) signaling in IgG1+ B cells. The MIZ1-TMBIM4 axis prevented mitochondrial dysfunction-induced IgG1+ GC cell death caused by excessive Ca2+ accumulation. This study uncovers a unique Ig isotype-specific dependency on a hitherto unidentified mechanism in GC-positive selection.

Jet impingement boiling heat transfer at low coiling temperatures
Creators: name: Chan, Phillip
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The production of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) for use in the automotive and construction industries requires complex control of runout table (ROT) cooling. Advanced high strength steels require coiling at temperatures below 500 °C in order to produce a complex multi-phase microstructure. The research described here will investigate the boiling conditions that occur for moving plate experiments when steel is cooled towards low coiling temperatures. Experiments were performed on a pilot-scale ROT located at the University of British Columbia using industrially supplied steel plates. Tests were performed for four different speeds (0.3, 0.6, 1.0 and 1.3 m/s) and three different initial plate temperatures(350, 500 and 600 °C). Each plate was instrumented with thermocouples in order to record the thermal history of the plate. The results show that cooling is more effective at slower speeds within the stagnation zone for surface temperatures over 200 °C. Outside the stagnation zone regardless of speed cooling is primarily governed by air convection and radiation with minor effects from latent heat caused by splashing water. The maximum peak heat flux value increases with decreasing speed and occurs at a surface temperature of approximately 200 °C, regardless of speed. Below a surface temperature of 200 °C, speed has a negligible effect on peak heat flux. The maximum integrated heat flux seems to vary with speed according to a second order polynomial.

Remarks
This small-sized species is morphologically similar to A. miruchae from Sal Island, and to A. denizi. Phylogenetic analyses show that A. freitasi, A. denizi and A. miruchae are distinct species despite their partial similarity in shell morphology. The phenotypic resemblance of the shell of A. freitasi to A. miruchae is possibly the result of convergence, whereas the similarity to A. denizi may reflect their close phylogenetic relationship, sharing a relatively recent last common ancestor.

Impact of Cooperative Financing on Survivability and Sustainability of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria

description: As evidenced in many advanced economies, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) inspire innovation, generate employment, propel economic expansion and contribute significantly to the Gross Domestic Product. In developing economy like Nigeria however, a persistent dearth of sufficient financial resources typically constrains their capabilities. In certain instances, conventional banks do decline to extend financing to SMEs or where they eventually choose to, they impose exorbitant interest rates on account of their perceived excessive risk. For a relatively long period of time now, Nigeria governments (especially at Federal level) had initiated series of interventions, which many a times do not get to the targeted SMEs and/or do not reach the SMEs to the extent of the interventions required. Unfortunately, also, many of these interventions that come by way of loans are not repaid as and when due. These altogether not only made financing of the SMEs difficult but also are hindering the benefits derivable from SMEs as theorized in literature. It has been argued however that one of the means of sustainable financing of SMEs is through cooperative societies. Using the survey research approach, this study collected relevant sets of data from two hundred and eighty two (282) SME owners out of one thousand four hundred and sixteen (1416) SMEs and cooperative managers through questionnaires and interviews. The sampled SMEs were the ones who are members of one existing cooperative society or the other in FCT, Abuja. These were analysed using descriptive, analytical, and inferential statistics tools. These statistical analyses conclusions were corroborated with the aid of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The results of the study indicate that cooperative financing is a highly effective method for addressing the financial needs of SMEs in the Federal Capital Territory and by extension solving the challenge of loan defaulting by them (the SMEs). A considerable proportion of the participants in the survey attested to the sustainability of the cooperative finance methods in question, with a considerable number perceiving them as either highly sustainable or sustainable. It was recommended that conscious promotion of public-cooperative partnership, just as is found in Bangladesh, will surely change the narratives in the Nigeria SME financing space and the economy will be better off for it in many ways.

Geographical distribution
Pedrinha and Furna, Brava Island, Cabo Verde Archipelago.
Conservation status in IUCN Red List
Least concern.
Remarks
This taxon was initially introduced as a subspecies of A. verdensis. This species has not been examined molecularly. However, the geographic isolation of Brava Island within the Cabo Verde Archipelago together with the distinctive morphology of shell and radula suggest that this is most likely a valid species, well differentiated in genetic distance from A. verdensis.

Canada: AB, BC, LB, NB, NF, NS, NT, ON, YT. USA: AK, ME (NSR), NH (NSR).
Collection and Habitat data. The NH specimens were captured by flight intercept traps from May to September. The NH traps were all in the northern portion of the state, the ME trap was in the southern portion of the state. In AK adults were found in a Betula, Salix, and white spruce forest; OTS- Salix, crowberry hummock, in Betula and Populus tremuloides forest, and mixed black and white spruce forest with willow (Klimaszewski et al. 2021). In Canada captured in pitfall, carrion-baited pitfall, and flight intercept traps in mixed and coniferous forests; on coastal barrens in LB, and in owl nests in NS (Klimaszewski et al. 2021). In NB specimens were sifted from litter, grasses and moss on hummocks near water in a wet old-growth eastern white cedar swamp, and from the margins of a vernal pond margin, and red maple swamp, as well as from grass and litter at bases of alders in a marshand grass litter in seepage area with Carex and Spartina patens on upper margin of salt marsh (Klimaszewski et al. 2021). It is possible that this is a wetland species associated with decaying litter. The Bedell Bridge site in NH was adjacent to vernal pools and small sloughs of Oliverian Brook.

Conservation status in IUCN Red List
Least concern.
Remarks
This taxon was initially introduced as a subspecies of A. damottai distributed in Maio Island. There are clear morphological similarities in shell pattern and radular tooth. However, the phylogenetic analysis indicates that A. galeao is actually a separate species, whose lineage diverged from that of A. damottai in the middle Pliocene. It is sister to A. calhetae, a parapatric valid species from Maio Island, which had been also initially introduced as a subspecies of A. navarroi. There is a number of morphs of A. galeao with distinctive shell patterns (i.e., reticulated, greenish, etc.) corresponding to well-defined populations from different bays in northern Maio Island, but all these have shown to be conspecific. Among these, A. claudiae from Praia Real is a color form of A. galeao. This must not be confused with another color variation of A. calhetae found in the west coast of Maio Island, which also resembles phenotypically the A. galeao form claudiae.

Diet quality and season affect physiology and energetic priorities of captive Steller sea lions during and after periods of nutritional stress
Creators: name: Jeanniard Du Dot, Tiphaine

description: The ability of animals to contend with unpredictable seasonal shifts in quality and quantity of prey has implications for the conservation of wildlife. Steller sea lions(Eumetopias jubatus) were subjected to different quantities and qualities of food to determine what physiological and endocrine responses would occur and whether they differed between season (summer and winter) or diet (high-lipid Pacific herring Clupeapallasi vs. low-lipid Walleye Pollock Theragra chalcogramma). Eight females were divided among two groups. One (Group H) were fed herring for 28 days (baseline), then received a reduced caloric intake for a subsequent 28 days (restriction) to induce a 15%loss of body mass. The second (Group P) were also fed herring during the baseline followed by a reduced isocaloric diet of pollock during the restriction. Both groups subsequently returned to their baseline intake of herring for a 28-day controlled re-feeding. The two groups of sea lions lost identical mass during restrictions independent of species eaten, but did differ in the type of internal energy reserve (protein vs. lipids) they predominantly used. Group H lost significantly more lipids and less lean mass than Group P in both seasons. In summer, Group H also increased activity levels and decreased thermoregulation capacity to optimize energy allocation. No such changes were observed for Group P whose capacity to adjust to the reduced caloric intake seemed to have been blocked by the pollock diet. During winter, the sea lions spared energy allocated to activity (especially Group H) and preserved thermoregulation capacity. Changes in body mass was negatively related to free cortisol and positively related to IGF-1 in winter, but only IGF-1 was related to changes in mass in summer when lean mass regulation seemed more important. Levels of IGF-1 were associated with changes in protein metabolism in both seasons for both groups, but changes in body condition were never explained by the measured metabolites or hormones. The capacity to compensate for mass loss was seasonally dependent with sea lions displaying compensatory growth (by restoring lipid stores) in winter but not in summer. Summer appears to be a more difficult season for sea lions to recover from mild nutritional stress. These physiological findings can be used to refine bioenergetic models needed for the conservation of Steller sea lion populations.
