description: RPE-1 (Human Retinal Pigment Epithelial) cells are spindle-shaped epithelial cells that have been shown to exhibit nematic liquid crystal behavior at high densities. Specifically, when RPE-1 cells are densely packed together, they tend to orient themselves with neighboring cells along their long axis. Mechanical stimulation of epithelial tissues through scratch wounds results in calcium waves that emanate perpendicularly from the wound edge. These waves play a crucial role in intercellular signaling, but the relationship between cellular alignment and calcium wave propagation is not well understood. In order to investigate this matter, we confined RPE-1 cells in grooves and measured the degree of cellular alignment within the tissue using a nematic order parameter (Q). Subsequently, we created scratch wounds in the monolayer, with wounds oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the director field of the cells. Finally, we measured the velocity of scratch-induced calcium waves. Our results show that scratch wounds made perpendicular to the director field of the cells resulted in faster calcium wave propagation than scratch wounds made parallel to the director field. By measuring the velocity of scratch-induced calcium waves and quantifying the alignment of cells in the tissue layer, we can gain insight into how physical cues in the cellular environment affect cellular behavior and intercellular communication. Ultimately, this research may lead to new insights into the development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies by allowing us to design more effective approaches that promote tissue regeneration and repair.
Different techniques for congestion avoidance algorithms in bottleneck networks

Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: In this thesis, we systematically examine the ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) mechanism to be applied to some AQM (Active Queue Management) techniques developed in recent years, namely, RED (Random Early Detection), BLUE, ARED (Adaptive RED) and PI-RED (Proportional and Integral RED). We use packet marking as the indication of network congestion, instead of the strategy of dropping packet currently adopted by these AQM algorithms. The performance comparison of ECN-AQM with AQM has been conducted in not only a single bottleneck network but also a multi-bottleneck network environment. The simulation results have shown that ECN-AQM algorithms can greatly decrease unnecessary packet loss, one of the main shortcomings of RED and some other AQM algorithms. They can also reduce average queue size in most cases, but the queue size oscillation problem remains. We therefore investigate the application of the head dropping policy to AQM techniques, as a simple solution to the problem of queue oscillation, another shortcoming of RED and its variants. With this method, instead of tail dropping, which is currently used by RED and many other AQM schemes, the TCP source can be informed of the congestion occurring in the bottleneck router earlier by getting rid of time to wait through the queuing delay. We have compared DH-RED (Drop Head RED) and DH-BLUE (Drop Head BLUE) with the current RED and BLUE in both of the single bottleneck and the multi-bottleneck networks. We found the performance of queue size stability can be greatly improved by DH-RED and DH-BLUE.

description: The tele-consultation can be a response to the challenges of the healthcare provision in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The World Health Organization and several national health authorities have recommended tele-consultation, to limit the spread of SARS Cov-2, while ensuring regular patients follow up. In rheumatology this practice is necessary especially for patients on immunosuppressants (conventional or biological). Some precautions are necessary to ensure the development of this practice in the current context.
description: La télémédecine peut être une réponse aux défis auxquels est confrontée l’offre de soins face à la pandémie de coronavirus. En effet, l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé et plusieurs autorités de santé nationales ont préconisé la téléconsultation, pour lutter contre la propagation du SARS Cov-2, tout en assurant le suivi régulier des patients. En rhumatologie cette pratique s’avère nécessaire notamment chez les patients sous traitement immunosuppresseur. Certaines précautions doivent accompagner, cependant, la téléconsultation et des assouplissements du cadre réglementaire doivent être entrepris pour assurer le développement de cette pratique dans le contexte actuel

description: Aspirin and azo derivatives have been widely studied and have drawn considerable attention due to diverse biological activities. In this study, a series of 4-[(halophenyl)diazenyl]phenyl aspirinate derivatives were synthesized from the reaction of aspirin with 4-[(halophenyl)diazenyl] phenol via esterification, in the presence of DCC/DMAP in DCM with overall yield of 45-54%. 4-[(Halophenyl)diazenyl]phenol was prepared prior to esterification from coupling reaction of aniline derivatives and phenol in basic solution. All compounds were characterized using elemental analysis, FTIR, and 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopies. All compounds were screened for their anticancer activities against nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) HK-1 cell lines and the viability of cultured cells was determined by MTS [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxylmethoxylphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium]-based colorimetric assay. 4-[(E)-(Fluorophenyl)diazenyl] phenol showed the highest anticancer activity against NPC HK-1 cell lines compared to other synthesized compounds. 4-[(Halophenyl)diazenyl]phenyl aspirinate showed low cytotoxicity against NPC HK-1 cell lines compared to 4-[(halophenyl)diazenyl] phenol but better anticancer activity than aspirin alone.
A place between heaven and the heart: A geographical interpretation of selected contemporary personal gardening literature
Creators: name: Sander-Regier, Renate
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Geography.

description: This thesis is an exploration, conducted in the open-minded spirit of humanistic geography, of the geographical meanings of the personal garden space as it is portrayed in selected contemporary personal gardening literature. Through an interpretive framework based on three geographical metaphors---the personal garden as a microcosm, landscape, and place---the personal garden revealed itself to be a cultural, social and personal space, essentially human, as well as a biological, ecological and environmental space, essentially nonhuman. This fundamental human-nonhuman duality at the core of the personal garden reflects the human-physical duality at the heart of the discipline of geography, as such making the personal garden a space of particular geographical significance. This thesis adds a new type of literature, personal gardening books, to geographical inquiry and contributes to growing geographical dialogue on the topic of personal gardens.

Conversations with Nattilingmiut elders on conflict and change: Naalattiarahuarnira
Creators: name: McGrath, Janet Tamalik
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Religion, General.

description: This study draws upon recorded conversations with 21 Nattilingmiut elders and relies on a close research mentorship with Nattilingmiut elder Nilaulaaq Miriam Aglukkaq. The Nattilingmiut were one of the last groups in the Canadian Arctic to become settled into communities initiated by the federal government, a project that began in the 1950s and ended in the late 1960s. While early literature about Inuit strongly suggests that Inuit pre-settlement society was extraordinarily peaceful and harmonious, there is little literature available that focuses on Inuit elders' perspectives on changes to their social experience in post-settlement times. The Nunavut Government and Inuit agencies are currently working to develop systems that reflect Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (Inuit epistemology) towards self governance and a consciously developed syncretism. As the Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit initiatives rely on the input of the Inuit elders, this study meets a current need to enhance elders' participation by offering some of their perspectives on dealing with conflict and change. It also offers a decolonizing methodology and is based on local protocols of the East Kitikmeot communities.

description: This thesis offers group-focused analyses of how tourism entrepreneurship participation modestly varies along demographic lines in the country of Cuba. Firstly, the thesis argues that state-led gender empowerment initiatives have prepared Cuban women to excel in private hospitality venture management. Secondly, it demonstrates how the chronic political repression of brick-and-mortar community networks and state inaction on ameliorating income and Internet access inequalities have discouraged Afro-Cubans from attempting to run startup hospitality businesses that cater to tourists. Lastly, the thesis shows readers that Cuban entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 49 have developed innovative digital mechanisms to effectively market their restaurants, shops, and guesthouses to tourists while Cubans over the age of 50 who espouse ideological reticence to technological development and marketization have been less likely to engage in pioneering tourism startups.
Impact of Dopamine Synthesis Capacity in Midbrain Regions of Interest on Cognitive Stability and Flexibility in Older Adults

description: In aging, we see marked alterations to the dopamine system, specifically with losses in the number of dopamine receptors and transporters and increases in dopamine synthesis capacity. While striatal dopamine has been a focus of research, midbrain synthesis capacity has been less thoroughly explored. Here, we developed a protocol that allowed us to accurately define and measure midbrain dopamine synthesis capacity, specifically in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area. Using the positron emission tomography (PET) tracer 6-[18F]fluoro-L-m-tyrosine ([18F]FMT), we measured the dopamine synthesis capacity of 50 older adults and 15 younger adults. Our older adults also completed a battery of neuropsychological tasks. We were able to establish that older adults do have an upregulation of midbrain synthesis capacity, compared to young adults. In order to examine the relationship between synthesis capacity and cognition, we created composite scores for cognitive stability and flexibility. We estimated stability performance using the Stroop task as a measure of inhibition and the Backwards Digit Span as a measure of working memory. We estimated flexibility performance using the Trail Making Task B-A and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCS) as measures of shifting. We did not find significant relationships between midbrain dopamine synthesis capacity and cognition. In addition to this, we found that instead of a tradeoff between stability and flexibility in individuals, higher stability performance predicted higher flexibility performance.

description: Hypersexuality and its relationship to impulsivity has seen conflicting results in the literature. Hypersexuality has been thought of as a univocal construct; however, in light of current research, hypersexuality may have two sub dimensions: problematic sexuality and sexual drive. This study attempted to replicate previous studies that support a multi-faceted model of hypersexuality and impulsivity. ADHD includes an impulsivity component and has a high correlation with hypersexuality, which will be used to help further clarify the relationship between these two constructs. A sample of 386 participants of Brandeis college students ( n = 106 ) and online Mechanical Turk participants ( n = 262) answered a questionnaire measuring components of all three constructs. Factor analyses were performed to replicate the findings of past research that Emotional Dysregulation (inability to stay within a socially acceptable emotional state) and Risk Taking (lack of taking others into consideration in pursuit of power) were factors of Impulsivity. Hypersexaulity was also determined to have two facets: Problematic Sexuality (using sex to cope and interrupting daily life) and Sexual Drive (frequent sexual activity). The subcomponents of Hypersexuality and Impulsivity covaried differently. Sexual Drive covaried non-significantly more with Risk Taking than Emotional Dysregulation. Problematic Sexaulity covaried significantly more with Risk Taking than Emotional Dysregulation which may suggest separate developmental paths for those high on both of these subtypes of hypersexuality. ADHD further supported these differential subcomponents as it covaried with all facets, and covaried more with Emotional Dysregulation and Problematic Sexuality.

description: This discussion with Sir Neil Cossons took place as part of an event hosted by the Museums and Industry: Long Histories of Collaboration (MaILHoC) research project in conjunction with the University of Leicester School of Museum Studies. The event was offered as part of a training module for the MA in Museum Studies on ‘Developing Professional Practice’. The event began with a short lecture from Dr Harry Parker, a Postdoctoral Fellow on MaILHoC, which was followed by a conversation (from which this edited transcript is drawn) between Sir Neil and Tilly Blyth, then Professor of Museum Studies at the University of Leicester. Professor Blyth had previously held the role of Head of Collections and Principal Curator at the Science Museum, where she oversaw the creation of the Information Age gallery mentioned later in their discussion. Also participating in the discussion is Heather Mayfield, former Deputy Director of the Science Museum, and Andrew Nahum, formerly the Principal Curator of Technology and Engineering at the Science Museum. An audience Q&A followed the main interview. The interview covered Sir Neil’s extensive career in museums, starting from his student assistant role at Leicester Museum. He highlighted the evolution of museum roles, emphasising the importance of practical experience. Cossons also discussed his tenure as Director of both the National Maritime Museum (1983-86) and the Science Museum (1986-2000). He detailed some of the changes he instituted while leading these institutions, from managerial restructuring to charging admission, then a topic of wide concern. He then went on to discuss his relationships with the Board of Trustees, his view of the role of a curator, the need for collections-driven display, and the challenges of obtaining sponsorship while retaining editorial independence. The discussion concluded with some reflections on society’s changing relationship with its industrial heritage.

description: This thesis reports the vector boson fusion production cross section for the Higgs boson in the $\hwwlnln$ final state measured as a function of kinematic observables sensitive to the Higgs boson production and decay properties as well as integrated in a fiducial phase space. The analysis is performed using the proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector in the LHC Run-2 at $\sqrt{s}= 13$ TeV center-of-mass energy, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$. The data are corrected for the effects of detector inefficiency and resolution, and the measurements are compared to different state-of-the-art theoretical predictions. The observed fiducial cross section of $1.68^{+0.40}_{-0.38}$~fb is compatible with the Standard Model prediction at a cross section of $2.07\pm0.04$~fb. The differential cross sections are finally used to constrain anomalous CP-even and CP-odd interactions using a dimension-6 Effective Field Theory formalism.
Photonic microwave filters with negative and complex coefficients

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Photonic microwave filter has been a topic of interest for over two decades because of the many advantageous features such as large time-bandwidth product, wide tunability, high Q-factor, low loss, light weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference offered by photonics. Theoretical and experimental studies of photonic microwave filters are presented in this thesis. Three novel techniques to implement photonic microwave filters with negative coefficients and complex coefficients are proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In the first technique, the negative coefficients are generated based on cross-polarization-modulation (XPolM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). In the second technique, negative coefficients are generated based on phase modulation and phase modulation to intensity modulation (PM-IM) conversion using linearly-chirped fiber Bragg gratings (LCNBGs) with positive and negative dispersions. In the third technique, a tunable photonic microwave filter with complex coefficients is implemented using a wideband tunable optical RF phase shifter. A technique to improve the dynamic range of a photonic microwave bandpass filter is also investigated.

description: The preparation of new active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) multicomponent crystal forms, especially co-crystals and salts, is being considered as a reliable strategy to improve API solubility and bioavailability. In this study, three novel imidazole-based salts of the poorly water-soluble salicylic acid (SA) are reported exhibiting a remarkable improvement in solubility and dissolution rate properties. All structures were solved by powder X-ray diffraction. Multiple complementary techniques were used to solve co-crystal/salt ambiguities: density functional theory calculations, Raman and 1H/13C solid-state NMR spectroscopies. In all molecular salts, the crystal packing interactions are based on a common charged assisted +N-H(SA) ⋯ O−(co-former) hydrogen bond interaction. The presence of an extra methyl group in different positions of the co-former, induced different supramolecular arrangements, yielding salts with different physicochemical properties. All salts present much higher solubility and dissolution rate than pure SA. The most promising results were obtained for the salts with imidazole and 1-methylimidazole co-formers.

Is the COVID case count correlated with Female Labor Force Participation Rate at the county monthly level in the US?

description: As the COVID pandemic outbreak first impacted the world in Dec. 2019, the US responded immediately with individual and municipal level actions to contain the negative impacts of the disease. However, the US economy still experienced great losses in many aspects, ranging from decreased GDP[1], tightened labor market[2], business failures[3], to high inflation[4]. In particular, the government-mandated lockdowns have resulted in a significant increase in unemployment status and a decrease in labor force participation in the US. Unlike the regular recession where we observe a decrease in the males' unemployment rate and labor force participation rate, this COVID-induced recession was rather a severe “shecession” where females were more prone to losing their jobs and being forced out of the labor force[5]. In this paper, I study the correlation between the county-level COVID case counts and the female labor force participation rate. By using the fixed effects model, I examine the correlations between COVID case count and the female labor force participation and unemployment rate. In this study, I found that female labor force participation and employment status are not associated with the change in the COVID case count on a county month level.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Epidemiology.

description: Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) constitutes an increasing proportion of infant deaths, and twins have a higher risk of SIDS than singletons. This retrospective cohort study, based on the 1995-1997 Matched Multiple Birth File of the United States, examined risk factors of SIDS and non-SIDS deaths using generalized estimating equations, and investigated competing risks of SIDS using survival analysis. The three unique characteristics of twins, namely birth weight discordance, birth order within pairs, and sex combinations, were not associated with SIDS, while they were related to non-SIDS deaths. Lower maternal education, younger maternal age, and maternal smoking during pregnancy were the strongest risk factors of SIDS among twins. Preterm birth and fetal growth restriction were determinants of infant deaths, including both SIDS and non-SIDS deaths. In conclusion, social factors and common biological factors are important risk factors for SIDS among twins while the biological factors unique to twins are not.

The K–R Decay Law: A Universal Theory of Strategy Collapse Under Entropy

Subjects: subject: Machine learning

subject: Entro

description: This paper introduces the K–R Decay Law, a novel and universal mathematical framework that models how strategies, learning systems, or agents collapse under the weight of entropy over time. By formalizing the interplay between entropy growth and probabilistic convergence, the law reveals a general pattern: as uncertainty increases, the probability of sustained strategic success decays predictably—often exponentially. This insight applies across classical reinforcement learning, search algorithms, and even extends toward conjectures in complexity theory and decision-making under uncertainty. The paper also explores potential limitations in quantum computation and proposes speculative extensions to accommodate quantum behavior. With theoretical derivations, chaos metrics, and simulations, this work lays the groundwork for a new principle in the science of intelligence, optimization, and adaptation.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: Alkyl radicals, generated with tributyltin hydride from their haloprecursors, are trapped efficiently by carbon monoxide under pressure, and the resulting acyl radicals undergo rapid cyclization onto N,N-diphenylhydrazones to yield alpha-hydrazinocyclopentanones. Selective reduction of the resulting ketones provided the corresponding cis- or trans-beta-hydrazinoalcohols, such as 282a--283b. A novel rearrangement was uncovered when the corresponding alpha-carbonyl hydrazine was treated with Lewis acids to afford product 292. Attempted carbonylation of aminyl radicals failed to provide the expected products. Tandem radical reactions were employed for the synthesis of the bicyclic ring system 359. The monocyclized products 362 and 363 were also formed. Attempted synthesis of tropane analogs via tandem radical reactions resulted only in the formation of the 7-membered ring products, such as 406. The level of asymmetric induction in radical carbocyclizations mediated by the presence of hydrazone chiral auxiliaries, such as 417 and 418 was examined.* *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: Magnesium-mediated carbometallation has been applied towards the synthesis of a variety of diverse synthetic targets. A novel carbometallation-palladium cross coupling reaction has been developed allowing for quick access to a wide variety of tetra-substituted alkenes. This methodology has been applied towards the synthesis of the anti-cancer agent (Z)-tamoxifen (66) and various analogues (82). Additional work has been done on the development of a new carbometallation-annulation reaction for the synthesis of unique bicyclic dienes based on natural chiral compounds such as camphor (124).

description: The push for corporatisation and privatisation to make government enterprises more efficient and effective fallsunder the ideology of new public management (NPM) (Hood, 1995). However, government entities also need tofocus on measuring the impacts of their activities on society. Their activities may come at a high cost financially,but if not provided could in the long run be more costly to society in terms of standard and quality of life. Thispaper explores the literature and synthesises use of Management Control Systems in the context of corporatisedgovernment owned entities.
“I am the Light of the World” The Legacy of Reverend Gary Davis’s Musical Language

description: Musician, teacher, and preacher, Reverend Gary Davis was a critical figure of the American Folk Music Revival. Due to the commercial success of many of his students as well as a large body of recorded music both sacred and secular, Davis’s repertoire, virtuosity, and influence can still be heard today. His musical range encompassed a swathe of popular, traditional, blues, and gospel tunes among other styles including Civil War marches, spirituals, and original compositions. Recently, music scholars and historians have begun to study Davis’s music, life, and legacy as a masterful musician, gifted musical educator, and torchbearer of a disappearing generation of southern folk artists and performers. Viewed as a central, but often-neglected figure of the time, these studies largely aim to place Davis’s legacy in its proper place among the American musical canon. Using these extensive studies on Davis’s legacy, this paper will analyze Davis’s use of sound and music as a central tool for his survival, focusing particularly on the ways in which he used music to foster a strong sense of identity and belonging. From his roots as a street musician in the Jim Crow south, through his time as an ordained minister and guitar teacher in New York City, Davis relied on the sonic world as a tool for dealing with his blindness. A life fraught with extreme circumstances, Davis constructed a fiercely independent identity that often blended between his life as a devout preacher and as a street singer and performer. Davis relied on music throughout his life to support himself financially, to provide himself comfort in frequent times of loneliness, and in order to foster a meaningful –largely musical -community of those who cared for him. Studying Davis through the theory of complex embodiment and the framework of Blacksound, this paper will contribute to the growing scholarship honoring Davis’s unique and impactful legacy as well as provide a case study in the significance of Black and blind musicians and street performers on popular music in the twentieth and twenty-first century. Finally, this study will challenge hegemonic theories of the development of popular music in the United States. By studying Davis’s story, his music can shine a light on issues of equity and radical inclusion, lifting up the stories of those historically unheard.
Discours et dynamiques de résurgence de l'Islam politique contemporain

subject: Sociology, Social Structure and Development.

description: Cette thèse tentera d'étayer l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'islam politique contemporain, à titre de phénomène politico-religieux, est trop souvent considère à tort comme un fait homogène. En réalité, il a connu deux courants idéologiques majeures qui l'on caractèrisé a différent moments dans l'histoire contemporaine du monde musulman. Bien que ces courants soient semblables a bien des égards, ils véhiculent néanmoins des discours divers, voire contradictoires et pronent souvent des objectifs et des plans d'action différents. La variété observée aujourd'hui en matière de mouvements islamiques reflète quant à elle non seulement l'existence de cette dualité au sein de l'islam politique contemporain mais témoigne aussi de sa lente progression d'une tendance réformiste vers ce qu'on appelle aujourd'hui le fondamentalisme.

Tightness-Looseness related to COVID-19 Outcomes

Looseness

description: In this study I will be looking at how cultural differences, specifically tightness-looseness, can shape outcomes during times of crisis in the United States. Tighter societies tend to have stricter punishment for deviance from social norms. In Study 1, I hypothesize that states that are tighter will have lower rates of COVID-19 infection. In Study 2, I hypothesize that if people individually perceive that they live in a tighter community they will have more negative health outcomes, greater prevalence of negative affect, isolation, stress, depression and worry. Through the use of archival data, on infection rate of COVID-19 per state and a Tightness-Looseness Scale, in Study 1, I found that tighter states have increased infection rates. Although this pattern differed from my prediction that tightness would be associated with lower infection rates, perhaps this reflects the fact that the tightness-looseness scale that was using did not account for cultural shifts during the pandemic. Using data collected from participants during the COVID-19 pandemic, I found no evidence for an association between individual perceptions of tightness and mental health outcomes in Study 2. I did find, however, that there was an association between age and mental health outcome. Younger adults tended to have more negative mental health outcomes than older adults. What I found in this study can be applied to the real world in order shape policy to aid the people in the United States during an event like the COVID-19 pandemic. Policy makers can look at tightness-looseness in order to instill policies into community that will help aid the decrease in infection rates. In addition to that, based on the findings from this study more mental health support in time of crisis needs to be given to younger adults.
Deciphering the Fine Print of State Renewable Energy Policy
Creators: name: Mavrothalassitis, Filippo Luca
Publisher: name: Brandeis University

Subjects: Renewable Portfolio Standard
Environmental Planning or Policy

description: The Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), which mandates electricity suppliers procure a specified percentage of sales from renewable sources, is one of the most important policies that combat climate change and encourage renewable energy adoption at the state level. However, the economic and environmental impacts of RPS remain inconclusive, partly because past studies do not account for heterogeneity in the design of RPS law. In this paper, I explore the effects of several often-overlooked differences in RPS policy by leveraging a unique dataset that quantifies the effect of various aspects of RPS policies and exemptions, and derive the amount of discrepancy between the nominal RPS goal and the minimum amount that suppliers need to procure to meet these goals. Using state-level panel data from 1990 to 2018, I estimate the impact of both nominal RPS goals and discrepancy on renewable generation, renewable generation capacity, carbon emissions from the electricity sector, and electricity price, using the panel two-way fixed-effect model. I find that a 10% increase in the nominal RPS goal leads to a 4.42% increase in renewable generation, a 2.02% increase in renewable generation capacity, 2.60% decrease in carbon emissions, and an increase in electricity price of 0.49 cents/kWh. A 10% increase in discrepancy leads to a 1.51% decrease in renewable generation capacity and a 1.05 cent/kWh decrease in electricity price. Back-of-envelope analysis suggests that policy discrepancy in RPS laws led to a total of 3,360 MW of unbuilt generation capacity and $7,780 million dollars in consumer savings in year 2018.
HDL-apoE content regulates the cell surface displacement of hepatic lipase
Creators: name: Young, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: Human hepatic lipase (HL) is an interfacial enzyme that must be liberated from cell surface proteoglycans to hydrolyze lipoprotein triglyceride. HDL and apolipoprotein (apo)A-1 can displace HL from cell surface proteoglycans, much like heparin. HL displacement is inhibited by HDL-apoE content. Postprandial HDL is ∼2-fold better at displacing HL than fasting HDL, but only has about half the apoE content. Enriching native HDL with triglyceride decreases HDL-apoE content and increases HL displacement. In contrast, enriching synthetic HDL with apoE significantly inhibits HL displacement. HDL from fasted female normolipidemic subjects displaces HL ∼2-fold better than HDL from male subjects. HDL from female subjects also has significantly less apoE than HDL from males. Normolipidemic females have increased circulating HDL-bound HL. Hyperlipidemia has little effect on the HL displacement ability of HDL from men, while HDL from hypercholesterolemic females exhibits impaired HL displacement. HL displacement from liver HSPG therefore appears to be linked to interlipoprotein apoE exchange. Decreased HL displacement is associated with higher HDL-apoE levels and may impact vascular triglyceride hydrolysis.
