A Mobile Gnutella-based Network System to Support the Distributed Collaborative Virtual Environment
Creators: name: Zarrad, Anis
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs), such as military training simulations, emergency preparedness exercises, and online games have made a considerable impact on both commercial and academic fields over the last few years. Due to the rapidly increasing usage of personal mobile devices and the need of executing CVE applications in environments that have no previous network infrastructure, Mobile Collaborative Virtual Environments (MCVEs) will become ubiquitous in the future. In such systems, users will share a 3D virtual environment through their mobile devices in an ad-hoc network (MANET) in order to accomplish specific missions. We aspire to develop and deploy CVEs over MANETs using the peer-to-peer model. Both peer-to-peer networks and MANETs exhibit the same features; which include complete decentralization, self-configuration, and self-healing. However, peer-to-peer networks and MANETs operate on different network layers, and may introduce poor performance. Mobile ad-hoc and peer-to-peer networks drive the future of CVEs, and thus form the foundation for this thesis. Most existing CVE systems are tuned to specific tasks, and their architectures are typically tightly coupled with wired networks and desktop settings, therefore they are not adequate enough for addressing mobile collaborative virtual environments. The evolutionary step in MCVE applications is handling the mobility effect in all its forms, and tackling the poor performance of the ad-hoc network. In this thesis, we explain the main networking issues involved in building scalable MCVEs, and review the most well-known CVE and peer-to-peer systems. We then present a mobility-aware cross-layer approach for MCVE applications; this approach relies on building a dynamic multi-tier overlay network architecture-based Gnutella network. The proposed overlay network will manage mobile devices using a novel rule-based discovery technique, in which users are discovered by their virtual environment interest and proximity. With the help of a caching mechanism and a Gnutella Ultrapeer System to perform a dynamic Ultrapeer selection, we were able to outperform traditional mobile overlay networks, as shown in our simulation results.

Post-Transcriptional Control of cIAP1
Creators: name: Graber, Tyson
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: This dissertation examines post-transcriptional mechanisms controlling the expression of the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1 (cIAP1) - a key negative regulator of programmed cell death. Activation of post-transcriptional control mechanisms is especially evident in the cellular response to stress and thus represent potential targets for therapeutic intervention. Post-transcriptional control is mediated by trans-acting proteins and/or non-coding RNAs that interact with a mRNA to form a messenger ribonucleoprotein particle (mRNP). Identifying components of mRNPs is therefore an important first step towards understanding how they regulate the fate of mRNAs during the response to cell stress. The cIAP1 mRNA represents an ideal model of post-transcriptional control given its regulation at the level of stability and translation following various stress stimuli. Work presented herein identifies AU-rich elements within the 3' untranslated region (UTR) that negatively affect cIAP1 mRNA stability following ultraviolet radiation (UVR) stress. Additionally, our laboratory has previously shown that the cIAP1 5'UTR contains an Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES) that governs translation of cIAP1 mRNA in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. These initial observations led to the hypothesis that trans-acting protein factors associated with clAP1 mRNA play an essential role in modulating its stability and translational efficiency. Chapters 2 and 3 address this hypothesis by identifying p86 and NF45 as cIAP1 IRES trans-acting factors (ITAFs) required for IRES-mediated translation of cIAP1 following ER stress. Work presented in chapter 4 indicates that 5'UTR AU content can be reliably used to predict other NF45-dependent IRES; IRES that may function in a post-transcriptional RNA operon that maintains genomic stability, apoptotic threshold, and appropriate NF-kappaB signalling. Finally, peer-reviewed work in chapter 5 identifies hnRNP A1 as an AU-rich element binding protein that destabilizes cIAP1 mRNA following exposure of the cell to ultraviolet radiation. The work embodied in this thesis contributes significantly to our understanding of how RNA binding proteins affect changes in RNA stability and translation and identifies novel targets for therapeutic strategies that modulate cIAP1 expression and its associated cytoprotective effects.
Using semantics and reasoning to detect inconsistency in UML class diagrams
Creators: name: Lam, Luan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Software designers typically work in different design teams and use different sets of terminologies with possibly different intended meanings. This makes inconsistencies in UML class diagrams become inconspicuous. Based on the existing literature, yet, there is no approach found to supporting designers clarify conceptual ideas used in their models while detecting inconsistencies. Furthermore, while there are a number of works in inconsistency detection for UML class diagrams, none of them provides a comprehensive classification of inconsistencies. In this thesis, we provide an inconsistency classification for UML class diagrams. The classification is based on the results of an analysis of inconsistencies in literature. We propose a formal approach to detecting inconsistencies using Description Logic (DL) and Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL). Based on our approach, designers can clarify their conceptual ideas through an ontology constructed from the (DL + SWRL) knowledge base. We validate our ideas through a number of scenarios. These scenarios are based on class diagrams extracted from literature which are prototypical.

description: Tetraalkylammonium cation intercalation into smectites was found to be a useful tool for the study of many aspects of smectite chemistry, including the determination of their internal surface areas and the identification of the mineral composition of Alberta oil sands bitumen. The adsorption of aromatic molecules to these organoclays has given useful insights about the nature of the interlamellar pore systems of these compounds. The grafting of organic moieties to the interlayer surface of montmorillonite was achieved by the reaction of the acidified clay with 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane. Nucleophilic substitution of the Cl for chelating functionalities (SH and SCH$\sb2$CH$\sb2$SH) has resulted in highly effective heavy metal adsorbents, particularly for Pb and Hg. The adsorbents could be easily regenerated by leaching out the metal with HCl. Similar materials were prepared using the layered silicates magadiite and kenyaite, but were found to be ineffective for the removal of metal ions from solution because of the congestion of the interlamellar region of these minerals by the organic functionalities which has prevented the access of the metal ions to the chelating sites. Alcohols and diols were found to condense onto the the interlamellar silanols of H-magadiite and H-kenyaite upon thermal treatment. The techniques used to characterize these compounds provided strong evidence of the formation of Si-O-C linkages between the mineral template and the organic groups. The nanocomposites thus formed were found to be stable to well beyond 400$\sp\circ$C, but did not show appreciable microporosity. The grafting interlamellar region of these silicates, whose crystal structures are still unknown. The preparation of clay-based catalysts for nitric oxide decomposition was attempted by the cointercalation of organic and metal cations into montmorillonite and by the doping of Al-pillared montmorillite by metal ions. The resulting compounds were found to promote the ortho nitrosylation of phenol in the presence of NO gas, but only in very low yield (3%). Static variable temperature studies have failed to show any catalytic decomposition of nitric oxide in the presence of these materials.

Subjects: subject: Physics, Condensed Matter.

description: We have studied samples of CuO and Cu$\sb2$O to pressures of 60 GPa and 35 GPa, respectively, using energy dispersive X-ray diffraction. Samples were studied using a gasketed diamond anvil cell, energy dispersive X-ray diffraction at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, with a Mo or Al$\sb2$O$\sb3$:Cr$\sp{3+}$ pressure gauge. In the case of Cu$\sb2$O, the two phase transitions, (cubic to hexagonal to another hexagonal) as expected were seen. In CuO no definite phase transition was seen, although indications are given for CuO at 60 GPa converting to a distorted rocksalt-type structure from the initial monoclinic structure. The volume data obtained from the pressure experiments on CuO were best fitted with the third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state with B$\sb0$ = 110 GPa and B$\sb0\sp\prime$ = 5.5.

Improving global monitoring of vaccine safety: An evaluation of the World Health Organization Programme for International Drug Monitoring and Adverse Reactions Database on how they serve the needs of vaccine safety

subject: Health Sciences, Health Care Management.

description: The World Health Organization (WHO) Programme for International Drug Monitoring (PIDM) was developed for chemical rather than biological products. The ability of the PIDM to meet the needs of vaccine safety is of international public health importance. Three studies were conducted: (1) a survey of authorities responsible for reporting adverse events following immunizations (AEFIs); (2) an analysis of the WHO Adverse Reactions Database; and (3) a systematic review to identify and compare Bayesian methods used in drug and vaccine signaling. Communication between national surveillance authorities and lack of vaccine-specific terminologies are issues of concern. Many AEFI reports are not forwarded to the PIDM, and reporting timeliness and regularity should be improved. Few studies have examined the use of Bayesian methods in vaccine signaling. Vaccines should be recognized as a distinct group of drugs. Additional staff dedicated to AEFI reporting and vaccine signaling would be a valuable asset to the PIDM.
Mobile payments and tap and go might not mean the end for tellers

description: Consumers are drawing out less cash and using other methods to pay for things such as contactless payments, but this doesn't necessarily signal the end of bank tellers or their automated counterparts. There is conflicting evidence on whether or not banks are moving away from providing customers with a human face or an ATM. Looking internationally, in 2016, Lloyds Banking Group in the United Kingdom announced that it was closing 200 branches and planning to cut 3,000 jobs, as a result of changing customer behaviour. The number of transactions carried out in branches has continued to drop and Lloyds has continued to invest heavily in digital banking instead. In contrast to this, Metro Bank, a new UK bank, has made the branch the core of its business model, with long opening hours every day of the week and staffed stores. In 2015 Metro claim to have gained over 200,000 new customers, through its 42 stores and created 2,000 new jobs. Domestically, the latest Australian Bankers Association (ABA) statistics reveal that in the year ending June 2015, the number of bank branches in Australia fell by 16, to 5,480 in total. The ABA data also shows that since 2001, Australian banks have increased their bank networks by 691 branches.

description: Im Rahmen der europäischen HumanBiomonitoringInitiative (HBM4EU) wurden aktuelle harmonisierte Daten zur körperlichen Belastung von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit Phthalat-Weichmachern und dem alternativen Weichmacher DINCH in Europa gewonnen. Zwischen den Ländern und europäischen Regionen wurden Unterschiede in der Belastung festgestellt. Ein Vergleich der HBM-Ergebnisse mit im Projekt abgeleiteten toxikologischen Beurteilungswerten zeigt, dass die Belastung trotz bestehender Regulierungen immer noch zu hoch ist. Bei Betrachtung der gleichzeitigen Belastung mit verschiedenen Phthalaten konnte für 17 rozent der Teilnehmenden ein gesundheitliches Risiko nicht mit ausreichender Sicherheit ausgeschlossen werden. Weitere Meilensteine von HBM4EU waren der Aufbau eines Labornetzwerks zur Analytik der Stoffe, eine Zeittrendanalyse, die Identifizierung von Expositionsquellen sowie Effektbiomarkern und die Untersuchung beruflich Exponierter. Die Ergebnisse ermöglichen die Beantwortung politikberatungsrelevanter Fragen sowie eine Einschätzung der Effektivität bestehender Regulierungen.

description: As part of the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU), up-to-date harmonised data on the body burdens of children and teenagers for the plasticizers phthalates and DINCH in Europe were obtained. Differences in exposure were found between countries and also European regions. A comparison of the HBM results with toxicological assessment values derived in the project shows that exposure is still too high despite existing regulations. When considering exposure to several phthalates at the same time, a health risk could not be excluded with sufficient certainty for 17 percent of the participants. Further milestones of HBM4EU were the establishment of a laboratory network for the analysis of the substances, a time trend analysis, the identification of exposure sources as well as effect biomarkers and the investigation of occupationally exposed persons. The results make it possible to answer policy related questions and to assess the effectiveness of existing regulations.

description: Measuring gene expression of tumor clones at single-cell resolution links functional consequences to somatic alterations. Without scalable methods to simultaneously assay DNA and RNA from the same single cell, parallel single-cell DNA and RNA measurements from independent cell populations must be mapped for genome-transcriptome association. We present clonealign, which assigns gene expression states to cancer clones using single-cell RNA and DNA sequencing independently sampled from a heterogeneous population. We apply clonealign to triple-negative breast cancer patient-derived xenografts and high-grade serous ovarian cancer cell lines and discover clone-specific dysregulated biological pathways not visible using either sequencing method alone.

Characterizing the enhanced neuronal apoptosis in ATRX knockout mice
Creators: name: Goodall, Emma
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Biology, Cell.

description: Mutations in ATRX, a SWI/SNF-like chromatin remodeling protein, cause the very rare ATR-X mental retardation syndrome (OMIM# 30032). The ATR-X syndrome is characterized by global developmental delay and 95% of cases are diagnosed with severe to profound mental retardation. Previous experiments have established a developmental requirement for ATRX and have suggested a role for ATRX in corticogenesis. Conditional forebrain specific ATRX -/- mice were shown to have a loss of cortical mass, which resulted from a 12-fold increase in apoptosis during early stages of corticogenesis. We show that the loss of ATRX results in a loss of neurons but does not affect the differentiation of astrocytes. Furthermore, we demonstrate enhanced p53mediated apoptosis in the ATRX knockout model. Consistent with this, we demonstrated elevated activity levels of caspase-9 and -3, key apoptotic factors. Additionally, we show an upregulation of the pro-apoptotic genes Bid and Peg3 in ATRX knockout samples. Together these results suggest that ATRX may play a critical role in promoting neuronal survival by inhibiting p53 mediated apoptosis.

description: This thesis is grounded in theory regarding judgment and focusses on the development of expertise in Information Systems analysis and design. It explores how final year students working in small teams think and behave compared to expert analysts when solving genuine problems with genuine clients. Students maintained journals and expert supervisors were interviewed. These were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Key differences found were in client relations; assignment based thinking; limited proactivity and insufficient holistic thinking about problems and solutions. Recommendations made draw widely from academic literature in project based learning, discussions with the experts and others.

description: As urban populations grow worldwide, it becomes increasingly important to critically analyse accessibility—the ease with which residents can reach key places or opportunities. The combination of ‘big data’ and advances in computational techniques such as machine learning (ML) could be a boon for urban accessibility studies, yet their application in this field remains limited. In this study, we provided detailed predictions of healthcare accessibility across a rapidly growing city and related them to socio-economic factors using a combination of classical and modern data analysis methods. Using the City of Surrey (Canada) as a case study, we clustered high-resolution income data for 2016 and 2022 using principal component analysis (PCA) and a powerful ML clustering tool, the self-organising map (SOM). We then combined this with door-to-door travel times to hospitals and clinics, calculated using a simple open-source tool. Focusing our analysis on senior populations (65+ years), we found that higher income clusters are projected to become more prevalent across Surrey over our study period. Low income clusters have on average better accessibility to healthcare facilities than high income clusters in both 2016 and 2022. Population growth will be the biggest accessibility challenge in neighbourhoods with good existing access to healthcare, whereas income change (both positive and negative) will be most challenging in poorly connected neighbourhoods. A dual accessibility problem may arise in Surrey: first, large senior populations will reside in areas with access to numerous and close-by, clinics, putting pressure on existing facilities for specialised services. Second, lower-income seniors will increasingly reside in areas poorly connected to healthcare services, which may impact accessibility equity. We demonstrate that combining PCA and SOM clustering techniques results in novel insights for predicting accessibility at the neighbourhood level. This allows for robust planning policy recommendations to be drawn from large multivariate datasets.

Die Belastungen der europäischen Bevölkerung mit einer Vielzahl von Umweltschadstoffen wurden erstmals vergleichbar ermittelt, bewertet und bereitgestellt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Belastungen der EU-Bevölkerung mit vielen Schadstoffen, wie etwa bestimmten Weichmachern und per- und polyfluorierten Alkylsubstanzen (PFAS), zu hoch sind, und gesundheitliche Beeinträchtigungen nicht mit ausreichender Sicherheit ausgeschlossen werden können. Die Erkenntnisse werden an die politischen Entscheidungsträger weitergegeben und sollen bei der Verbesserung der Chemikalien-, Umwelt- und Gesundheitspolitik unterstützen, sodass letztlich gesundheitsrelevante chemische Belastungen minimiert werden.

description: In 2017, the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) was launched to advance human biomonitoring in Europe and to provide better evidence of the actual exposure of citizens to chemicals and its related health effects. The exposure data of the European population to a wide range of environmental pollutant were collected, assessed and made available in a comparable way for the first time. The results show that the exposure of the EU population to many pollutants, such as certain plasticizers and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), is too high and health effects cannot be excluded with sufficient certainty. The findings will be shared with policy makers to assist in improving chemical, environmental, and health policies to ultimately minimize chemical exposures that could affect health. The following article provides an overview of the main project findings.

Learning disability subtypes and the effects of auditory and visual priming on event-related potentials.
Creators: name: Miles, Jennifer Elizabeth.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Psychobiology.

description: A control group of normal readers and three subtypes of learning disability (LD) were compared in their visual event-related potentials (ERPs) to primed and unprimed words. The LD subtypes are characterized by deficient performance on tests of arithmetic skill (Group A), reading and spelling skills (Group RS), or both (Group RSA). The primed words were preceded by pictures or spoken words having a related meaning, while unprimed words were preceded by pictures or spoken words having a non-associated meaning. For normal readers, N400 amplitude was greater to unprimed words than to words primed by pictures and spoken words. For Group A, parietal N400 was reduced by spoken word primes, but not by picture primes. For Group RS and Group RSA, neither picture nor spoken word primes reduced N400 amplitude. These groups were differentiated by the amplitude of parietal N400. The normal readers displayed a greater left than right hemisphere frontal N400 amplitude to unprimed words. This asymmetry was absent in the ERPs of all the LD subtypes. The pattern of ERP results supports an LD typology that characterizes subtypes on the basis of difficulty with arithmetic or reading and spelling, or with a combination of both. The hemispheric asymmetry results suggest that left hemisphere dominance is associated with skilled reading.

description: The recognition of regional business opportunities is the crucial starting point of the entrepreneurial process that governs the persistence of regional entrepreneurship patterns. This persistence depends on the quantity of perceived opportunities and the quality of opportunities perceived by regional inhabitants. However, it is unclear which region-individual interactions relate to the quantity regional business opportunity perception and how long-standing regional entrepreneurship patterns are reflected in conceptions of entrepreneurship that govern the quality of perceived opportunities. A primary data collection in German regions with distinct long-standing entrepreneurship patterns assessed two main aspects. First, the regional embeddedness of respondents on four levels – actor, network, environmental, and cultural – is set in relation to the likelihood of opportunity perception. Second, an implicit measurement of mental representations of entrepreneurship is examined. The mental representations of entrepreneurship, reflecting the conceptions of entrepreneurship, are investigated to identify differences between the conceptions of entrepreneurship that come along with the long-standing regional entrepreneurship patterns and to detect differences between opportunity-perceivers and non-perceivers. The results suggest that regions reinforce long-standing entrepreneurship patterns with distinct individual-region relations that impact the quantity of perceived regional opportunities and distinct conceptualizations of entrepreneurship that shape the quality of perceived opportunities. Differences are observed for the perception of opportunities that are characterized by innovativeness versus those that are general in nature, showing that innovative opportunity perception is less dependent on the regional context than general opportunity perception.

description: In this paper we demonstrate that a large, unexplored reservoir of information about pulsar emission exists, that is directly linked to the radiating particles and their radiation process: We present a study of flux density measurements of individual pulses simultaneously observed at four different frequencies. Correcting for effects caused by the interstellar medium, we derive intrinsic flux density spectra of individual radio pulses observed at several frequencies for the first time. Pulsar B0329+54 was observed at 238, 626, 1412 and 4850 MHz, while observations of PSR B1133+16 were made at 341, 626, 1412 and 4850 MHz, We derive intrinsic pulse-to-pulse modulation indices which show a minimum around 1 GHz. Correlations between the flux densities of different frequency pairs worsen as the frequency separation widens and also tend to be worse for outer profile components. The single pulse spectra of PSR B0329+54 resemble the spectra of the integrated profile. However, the spectral index distributions for the single pulses of PSR B1133+16 show significant deviations from a Gaussian. This asymmetry is caused by very strong pulses with flux densities exceeding the mean value by more than a factor of ten. These strong pulses occur preferentially at the trailing edge of the leading component and appear to be broadband in most cases. Their properties are similar to those of so-called giant pulses, suggesting that these phenomena are related.

Représentation du créole et thématique identitaire dans quelques oeuvres littéraires d'expression française postindépendence à Maurice

Subjects: subject: Literature, Modern.

description: La place du vernaculaire dans les oeuvres d'auteurs mauriciens d'expression française à très peu intéressé la critique jusqu'ici. Cette étude tente surtout de circonscrire la façon dont se vit le créole dans quelques oeuvres littéraires ainsi que la place et l'avenir de ce langage dans la société mauricienne. Cette thèse sera également l'occasion de voir comment les thèmes identitaires les plus récurrents évoqués par certains romans de notre corpus sont fatalement imbriqués à la notion de race ou de communauté.

description: Background: Cupressus gigantea, a rare and endangered tree species with remarkable medicinal value, is endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. Yet, little is known about the underlying genetics of the unique ecological adaptability of this extremely long-lived conifer with a large genome size. Here, we present its first de novo and multi-tissue transcriptome in-depth characterization. Results: We performed Illumina paired-end sequencing and RNA libraries assembly derived from terminal buds, male and female strobili, biennial leaves, and cambium tissues taken from adult C. gigantea. In total, large-scale high-quality reads were assembled into 101,092 unigenes, with an average sequence length of 1029 bp, and 6848 unigenes (6.77%) were mapped against the KEGG databases to identify 292 pathways. A core set of 41,373 genes belonging to 2412 orthologous gene families shared between C. gigantea and nine other plants was revealed. In addition, we identified 2515 small to larger-size gene families containing in total 9223 genes specific to C. gigantea, and enriched for gene ontologies relating to biotic interactions. We identified an important terpene synthases gene family expansion with its 121 putative members. Conclusions: This study presents the first comprehensive transcriptome characterization of C. gigantea. Our results will facilitate functional genomic studies to support genetic improvement and conservation programs for this endangered conifer.

description: Purpose The evidence base for peer support work in mental health is established, yet implementation remains a challenge. The aim of this systematic review was to identify influences which facilitate or are barriers to implementation of mental health peer support work. Methods Data sources comprised online databases (n = 11), journal table of contents (n = 2), conference proceedings (n = 18), peer support websites (n = 2), expert consultation (n = 38) and forward and backward citation tracking. Publications were included if they reported on implementation facilitators or barriers for formal face-to-face peer support work with adults with a mental health problem, and were available in English, French, German, Hebrew, Luganda, Spanish or Swahili. Data were analysed using narrative synthesis. A six-site international survey [Germany (2 sites), India, Israel, Tanzania,Uganda] using a measure based on the strongest influences was conducted. The review protocol was pre-registered (Prospero:CRD42018094838). Results The search strategy identified 5813 publications, of which 53 were included. Fourteen implementation influences were identified, notably organisational culture (reported by 53% of papers), training (42%) and role definition (40%). Ratings on a measure using these influences demonstrated preliminary evidence for the convergent and discriminant validity of the identified influences. Conclusion The identified influences provide a guide to implementation of peer support. For services developing a peer support service, organisational culture including role support (training, role clarity, resourcing and access to a peer network) and staff attitudes need to be considered. The identified influences provide a theory base to prepare research sites for implementing peer support worker interventions.
