description: Processing of unattended threat-related stimuli, such as fearful faces, has been previously examined using group functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) approaches. However, the identification of features of brain activity containing sufficient information to decode, or “brain-read”, unattended (implicit) fear perception remains an active research goal. Here we test the hypothesis that patterns of large-scale functional connectivity (FC) decode the emotional expression of implicitly perceived faces within single individuals using training data from separate subjects. fMRI and a blocked design were used to acquire BOLD signals during implicit (task-unrelated) presentation of fearful and neutral faces. A pattern classifier (linear kernel Support Vector Machine, or SVM) with linear filter feature selection used pair-wise FC as features to predict the emotional expression of implicitly presented faces. We plotted classification accuracy vs. number of top N selected features and observed that significantly higher than chance accuracies (between 90–100%) were achieved with 15–40 features. During fearful face presentation, the most informative and positively modulated FC was between angular gyrus and hippocampus, while the greatest overall contributing region was the thalamus, with positively modulated connections to bilateral middle temporal gyrus and insula. Other FCs that predicted fear included superior-occipital and parietal regions, cerebellum and prefrontal cortex. By comparison, patterns of spatial activity (as opposed to interactivity) were relatively uninformative in decoding implicit fear. These findings indicate that whole-brain patterns of interactivity are a sensitive and informative signature of unattended fearful emotion processing. At the same time, we demonstrate and propose a sensitive and exploratory approach for the identification of large-scale, condition-dependent FC. In contrast to model-based, group approaches, the current approach does not discount the multivariate, joint responses of multiple functional connections and is not hampered by signal loss and the need for multiple comparisons correction.

description: Poly(styrene-N-isopropylmethacrylamide-methacrylic acid) core-shell [P(SNM)CS] microgel particles were synthesized by seed mediated emulsion polymerization method. Silver nanoparticles were loaded into shell of P(SNM)CS microgels by in situ reduction of Ag+ ions. Synthesized core-shell microgels and hybrid core-shell microgels were characterized by using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Visible spectroscopy and Dynamic light scattering (DLS). Stability of Ag nanoparticles within P(SNM)CS system was also investigated over the time using UV-Visible spectroscopy. Catalytic properties of silver nanoparticles loaded microgel system [Ag-P(SNM)CS] were studied by reducing Eosin Y and Methylene blue with NaBH4 in water. The values of observed rate constant (kobs) were determined under different reaction conditions. The hybrid system was capable to degrade both dyes and may be used for degradation of several other toxic chemicals efficiently.

description: Urbanization often produces detrimental impacts on receiving stream ecology due to an increased volume and velocity of storm runoff. The hydrologic effects of urbanization, including: increases in bankfull events, increased flooding, increased peak flows, decreased baseflow, stream enlargement, stream incision, severe stream bank erosion, sedimentation, changes in morphology, increased instream sediment load, increased sediment transport, aesthetic degradation, degradation of designated uses, and loss of fish populations. The purpose of this study is to determine how different physical characteristics of a watershed affect the peak discharges of runoff events produced by fifty years of continuously modeled precipitation. The Runoff and Statistical Blocks of the EPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM4.4h) and rainfall from three climatically different cities were used to generate flow frequency curves that illustrate changes in subcatchment imperviousness, slope, runoff length, and Horton infiltration parameters. Historical rainfall hyetograph information for Fort Collins, Colorado; Atlanta, Georgia; and Seattle, Washington were used to determine the effects of different rainfall patterns in three subcatchments ranging from 6 to 10 Hectares. Results indicate urbanization has the greatest impact on the peak discharge of catchment runoff and caused all flow frequency curves in all three cities modeled to shift upward. While changes in slope, runoff length, and infiltration produced no alteration in runoff magnitude and frequency for some storms (seen through the convergence of the flow frequency curves), the impact of urbanization on the frequency and magnitude of runoff events was apparent in all scenarios run. As the level of urbanization changed, some response was always visible, no matter how the three other variables were altered.

Diffusive Acceleration of Particles at Oblique, Relativistic, Magnetohydrodynamic Shocks

description: Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) at relativistic shocks is expected to be an important acceleration mechanism in a variety of astrophysical objects including extragalactic jets in active galactic nuclei and gamma ray bursts. These sources remain good candidate sites for the generation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. In this paper, key predictions of DSA at relativistic shocks that are germane to production of relativistic electrons and ions are outlined. The technique employed to identify these characteristics is a Monte Carlo simulation of such diffusive acceleration in test-particle, relativistic, oblique, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shocks. Using a compact prescription for diffusion of charges in MHD turbulence, this approach generates particle angular and momentum distributions at any position upstream or downstream of the shock. Simulation output is presented for both small angle and large angle scattering scenarios, and a variety of shock obliquities including superluminal regimes when the de Hoffmann-Teller frame does not exist. The distribution function power-law indices compare favorably with results from other techniques. They are found to depend sensitively on the mean magnetic field orientation in the shock, and the nature of MHD turbulence that propagates along fields in shock environs. An interesting regime of flat spectrum generation is addressed; we provide evidence for it being due to shock drift acceleration, a phenomenon well-known in heliospheric shock studies. The impact of these theoretical results on blazar science is outlined. Specifically, Fermi-LAT gamma-ray observations of these relativistic jet sources are providing significant constraints on important environmental quantities for relativistic shocks, namely the field obliquity, the frequency of scattering and the level of field turbulence.

Reconstructing the American Left: The Challenge of Jesse Jackson

description: Jesse Jackson's bid for the Democratic nomination constituted the most important challenge to the American left since the emergence of the civil rights movement in the fifties and the feminist movement in the seventies. Unfortunately, the American left, for the most part, missed this grand opportunity. In this essay, I will argue that this failure to respond in a serious and sustained manner to the contemporary black political upsurge signifies the need for a reassessment and reconstruction
of the American left-a rearticulation of progressive forces centered on anti-imperialist struggles (against U.S. and Soviet forms) and black unity (a unity open to non-black allies yet subordinate to no non-black groups).

How to blow out a molecular lantern: interaction of aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein and its variants with singlet oxygen

Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 147-152
description: Herein, we studied the interaction between Aequorea victoria Green Fluorescent Proetein and some of its mutants with exogenous single oxygen using spectroscopic and electrophoretic techniques. According to our results, exogenous 02 mainly oxidizes the ??-barrel of the proteins, resulting in formation of a covalent protein dimer. Further characterization of the underlying mechanism utilizing monomeric variants, suggested the interface of the natural occurring dimer as the initial area of oxidation, specifically the histidine in position 148 (H148). By mutating this residue to a less reactive side chain, its involvement in the 02 mediated mechanism was corroborated. The reactivity of endogenous 02 towards fluorescent proteins, was also analyzed by direct excitation of the proteins chromophores. Spectroscopy data suggested a variety of complex mechanisms, including generation of 02 and photodecarboxylation, occurring upon irradiation of the protein. Taken together, these results indicate that production of exogenous and/or endogenous 02 during standard imaging techniques influences fluorescent proteins, which could deteriorate the data obtained from the studied system.
A 'Gift of God'?: The Public Health Controversy over Leaded Gasoline during the 1920s

Subjects: Public health

description: A recent article in the American Journal of Public Health noted the high correlation between the lead content of soil in urban areas and the elevated blood-lead levels of children in these cities. An editorial in the same issue of the Journal suggested that the "use of leaded gasoline and [high] traffic density" helped explain the is observation. For most public health experts, the controversy over the possible adverse effects of leaded gasoline began in the 1970s. What we intend to show in this paper is that as early as the 1920s public health experts , government officials, scientists, corporate leaders, labor, and the public were acutely aware of the dangers posed by the introduction of lead into gasoline. The depth of concern was manifested by the fact that leaded gasoline was banned in New York City for over three years and in many states and other municipalities for shorter periods of time. In 1925, the production of leaded gasoline was halted for over nine months, During the 1920s, the petrochemical and automobile industries emerged as the corporate backbone of the United States. Because the acceptance or rejection of leaded gasoline had profound implications for these industries. a spirited and often heated controversy arose. Public health professionals found themselves under intense pressure to sanction and minimize the hazards associated with the manufacture and use of this new potentially toxic substance and the pages of the American Journal of Public Health were compromised during the months and years when the fate of leaded gasoline was being decided. The debates of that era centered on issues of health and public policy that remain current today. Numerous questions arose regarding the evaluation of health hazards associated with new and potentially harmful substances, including: How can scientists evaluate the relative importance of acute and chronic effects of toxic substances? What should constitute adequate proof of safety or harm? What business, professional, or government agendas should be responsible for evaluating possibly dangerous substances? How does one study potentially toxic substances while protecting the right to health of human subjects? Does industry have to prove a new substance safe or do public health experts have to prove it dangerous?

description: This abstract bleats a space and Agnes approves. This dissertation interrogates the boundaries between genres. The critical component of this thesis explores genre rupture as a method of locating threshold spaces within language systems that open disciplinary boundaries to the contaminative effects of different dimensions of observation. This portion of the thesis also examines the work of Gertrude Stein and contemporary innovative writers Lisa Robertson and Lyn Hejinian. These writers all engage with genre at the level of the sentence, exploring the sentence as a site of rupture in order to expose the relationship between upturning this site and more open-ended and fluid subjectivities. The substantive creative component of this dissertation, a manuscript entitled Turtle Crumbles the Visible, examines the boundaries between genres through the documentation of shifting relationships between the subjectivity of three characters, Turtle, Emerson, and Gaia, and the increasingly un-coordinated spaces that they begin to inhabit.
Through the eyes of the big man: experiences of contemporary educational leaders in Papua New Guinea

description: By nature, Small Island Developing States are negotiating a permeable traditional societal culture and an engulfing globalization. Although the body of research is expanding, there is limited literature on the identity of contemporary indigenous educational leaders as they mediate their praxis, primarily based on Western theory, and their traditional cultural belief systems. This qualitative single-case study, conducted on­site over a three year period, investigated the perceptions and experiences of 14 indigenous educational leaders in a Westernized organization in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Three findings emerged from the study. One, both postcolonial and globalizing influences are salient to the experiences of the leaders and data confirm existing research on cross-cultural educational leadership in that PNG local culture effectively and powerfully filters and mediates individual and collective leaders' thoughts and actions. Two, research uncovered manifestations of the Melanesian Big Man as identified in existing socio-cultural and anthropological research on the identity and subsequent leadership practices of the current day leaders. Data analysis suggest the legacy and prevalence of four distinctive traditional leadership characteristics: (a) respect; (b) influence and power; (c) loyalty and obligation; and (d) opportunism and ambition. Participant experiences and reflections about these four attributes augur a change in understanding leadership in Papua New Guinea and require further investigation to explore the extent to which these plausible shifts in understanding indigenous leadership are reflective in other developing nation contexts. Three, a hybrid leadership identity is emerging in PNG. Research data highlight that local leaders, acknowledging past contributions and models of expatriate colleagues, are profoundly conscious of the influence and value of PNG cultural beliefs and practices on their actions as educational leaders. The contemporary PNG leader's role is that of the rounded self-adjusting fulcrum, oscillating and balancing the influences of Western organizational policy and expectations with tangible and intangible cultural values and assumptions about traditional PNG leadership. Participant reflections as indigenous leaders in a Westernized educational organization indicate that they are bridging traditional and contemporary leadership assumptions and practices and co-creating a distinct localised leadership responsive to the unique and diverse social and cultural context existing in Papua New Guinea today.

description: Prostitution per se is not illegal in Canada, yet everything associated with the practice of prostitution is illegal. However, on September 28th, 2010, Justice Susan Himel of the Ontario Supreme Court decision struck down bawdy-house, living on the avails of prostitution, and communication provisions of the Canadian Criminal Code. Himel's judgement supported what Canadian researchers have long established, that the impugned provisions prevent prostitutes from taking precautions that can decrease the risk of violence toward them. This study examined the change to prostitution legislation by documenting the Charter process which led up to Himel's decision. The research involved interviews with the applicants in two separate court challenges as well as an analysis of published case material. The study argues that in order to minimize the harm while respecting the liberty of prostitutes, we need to move away from a strictly moral perspective to a harm reduction approach.

description: As U.S. energy consumption continues to increase and construction of new infrastructure is costly and becoming more difficult, therefore new methods must be evaluated in order to maximize energy production from current infrastructure. Dynamic programming (DP) has proven to be useful in updating operational policies for improved power generation while still meeting other operational constraints. In this analysis, a generalized dynamic programming model, CSUDP, was utilized to evaluate energy production due to monthly operations at Dworshak Dam in north central Idaho. Based on both historic and climate change hydrologic input data the results of the DP modeling indicate that energy production can be increased up to 10 percent from the observed generation while still meeting other project purposes. In addition, operations at Dworshak Dam were evaluated with expanded generation capacity. Modeling with expanded generation capacity showed a substantial increase in energy production and predicted a beneficial balancing of particular climate varying streamflow predictions. Even though benefits of dynamic programming have been shown to improve power generation from current infrastructure at minimal cost, actual operations may not change for years or at all because doing so will require a paradigm shift for many reservoir managers.

description: Purpose: Research on obesity and the built environment has often featured logistic regression and the corresponding parameter, the odds ratio. Use of odds ratios for common outcomes such obesity may unnecessarily hinder the validity, interpretation, and communication of research findings. Methods: We identified three key issues raised by the use of odds ratios, illustrating them with data on walkability and body mass index from a study of 13,102 New York City residents. Results: First, dichotomization of continuous measures such as body mass index discards theoretically relevant information, reduces statistical power, and amplifies measurement error. Second, odds ratios are systematically higher (further from the null) than prevalence ratios; this inflation is trivial for rare outcomes, but substantial for common outcomes like obesity. Third, odds ratios can lead to incorrect conclusions during tests of interactions. The odds ratio in a particular subgroup might higher simply because the outcome is more common (and the odds ratio inflated) compared with other subgroups. Conclusion: Our recommendations are to take full advantage of continuous outcome data when feasible and to use prevalence ratios in place of odds ratios for common dichotomous outcomes. When odds ratios must be used, authors should document outcome prevalence across exposure groups.

description: Der Klärwerksverbund Köhlbrandhöft/Dradenau wird wie auch andere Kläranlagen mit einer Faulschlammentwässerung in starkem Maße mit Stickstoff rückbelastet. Die Aufstockung der Ammonium-Zulauffracht von im Mittel 35 % führt bei der Denitrifikation zu Schwierigkeiten, wenn bei betriebsbedingter annähernd konstanter Rückbelastung die Zufuhr ausreichender Kohlenstoffmengen, z.B. an Wochenenden, ausbleibt. Durch Zwischenspeichern von Zentrat und dessen gezielte Zugabe in die Belebungsanlage des Klärwerkes Dradenau konnte das Problem weitgehend gelöst werden. Unabhängig hiervon wird im Hinblick auf steigende Abwassermengen seit etwa einem Jahr Trübwasser in einer halbtechnischen biologischen Versuchsanlage separat behandelt. Die Nitrifikation des Zentrats erfolgt in einem Abstromfließbett unter Einsatz von reinem Sauerstoff. Die Ammoniumkonzentrationen werden bei 35°C von i.M. 1350 mg NH4-N/l auf Werte unter 100 mg/l vermindert, und zwar bei Nitrifikationsleistungen von ca. 5 kg NH4-N pro Tag und m3 Fließbettvolumen. Das ist etwa 35fach höher als in einer Belebungsanlage.

description: A large percentage of the students who drop out of K-12 schools in the United States do so at the end of high school, at some point after grade 10. Yet we know little about the differences between different types of students who drop out of the end of high school. The purpose of this study is to examine a typology of high school dropouts from a large nationally representative dataset (ELS:2002) using latent class analysis (LCA). We found three significantly different types of dropouts; Quiet, Jaded, and Involved. Based on this typology of three subgroups, we discuss implications for future dropout intervention research, policy, and practice.

description: Socioeconomic disparities—and particularly differences in educational attainment—are associated with remarkable differences in cognition and behavior across the life-span. Decreased educational attainment has been linked to increased exposure to life stressors, which in turn have been associated with structural differences in the hippocampus and the amygdala. However, the degree to which educational attainment is directly associated with anatomical differences in these structures remains unclear. Recent studies in children have found socioeconomic differences in regional brain volume in the hippocampus and amygdala across childhood and adolescence. Here we expand on this work, by investigating whether disparities in hippocampal and amygdala volume persist across the life-span. In a sample of 275 individuals from the BRAINnet Foundation database ranging in age from 17 to 87, we found that socioeconomic status (SES), as operationalized by years of educational attainment, moderates the effect of age on hippocampal volume. Specifically, hippocampal volume tended to markedly decrease with age among less educated individuals, whereas age-related reductions in hippocampal volume were less pronounced among more highly educated individuals. No such effects were found for amygdala volume. Possible mechanisms by which education may buffer age-related effects on hippocampal volume are discussed.

description: Solar radiation experiments showed a shift in the composition of natural organic matter (NOM). Due to irradiation, the concentration of high molecular weight (HMW) molecules decreased, and that of the low molecular weight (LMW) fraction increased. Microbiological analyses showed that biodegradation was neglectable. To assess the consequences for water treatment processes, coagulation jar tests were performed by comparing the removal effectivity for NOM fractions from irradiated and unirradiated raw water. The degree of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal by coagulation was lower for irradiated waters. As primarily HMW organic compounds are removed by coagulation, the decrease in coagulation performance is attributed to the increase in the LMW concentration due to photochemical reactions induced by solar radiation. Flocs were about 15% larger for irradiated water. Possibilities to adapt water treatment to respond to changes in DOC composition and concentration are outlined. Ozonation-biofiltration is judged as the most promising treatment process to cope with climate change related challenges in drinking water treatment.

description: The purpose of this project is to generate relevant evidence and policy options to complement advancements in precision healthcare and enable nurses to join genomic health services across Canada. The Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing and the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology are the key policy partners. The project is comprised of three key objectives: comparing international genomic nursing policies to those in Canada to determine how policy can align to the quintuple aim, engaging stakeholders to obtain evidence on policy features and drivers that will guide oncology nurses for the safe and equitable integration of genomics across the cancer care continuum, and contextualizing evidence to recommend policy options to guide nursing practice and inter-professional/inter-sectoral collaboration to ensure all Canadians benefit from genomics. To meet these objectives, the project involves three key phases: 1) Phase 1 involves a comparative policy document analysis between Canada, the U.S. and U.K to identify policy features and policy drivers that can accelerate the integration of genomics-informed oncology nursing education and practice. 2) Phase 2 is comprised of 2 steps. Phase 2a involves interviews with patient partners and nurses to understand current and future policy needs and to contextualize phase 1 findings within the Canadian oncology nursing context. Phase 2b involves a virtual policy dialogue with nurses and stakeholders from the multidisciplinary team whose work intersects with genomics to discuss the implications of findings from phase 1 and 2a, and to identify priorities for integrating genomics into nursing education and practice in Canada. 3) Phase 3 involves a workshop with the investigative team and advisory committee to develop policy recommendations and policy briefs for the policy partners.

description: We address the problem of recognizing alpha-stable Levy distribution with Levy index close to 2 from experimental data. We are interested in the case when the sample size of available data is not large, thus the power law asymptotics of the distribution is not clearly detectable, and the shape of empirical probability density function is close to a Gaussian. We propose a testing procedure combining a simple visual test based on empirical fourth moment with the Anderson-Darling and Jarque-Bera statistical tests and we check the efficiency of the method on simulated data. Furthermore, we apply our method to the analysis of turbulent plasma density and potential fluctuations measured in the stellarator type fusion device and demonstrate that the phenomenon of L-H transition occurring in this device is accompanied by the transition from Levy to Gaussian fluctuation statistics.

description: Over 6,000 fragments from the genome of Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed for their ability to drive expression of GAL4 reporter genes in the third-instar larval imaginal discs. About 1,200 reporter genes drove expression in the eye, antenna, leg, wing, haltere, or genital imaginal discs. The patterns ranged from large regions to individual cells. About 75% of the active fragments drove expression in multiple discs; 20% were expressed in ventral, but not dorsal, discs (legs, genital, and antenna), whereas ∼23% were expressed in dorsal but not ventral discs (wing, haltere, and eye). Several patterns, for example, within the leg chordotonal organ, appeared a surprisingly large number of times. Unbiased searches for DNA sequence motifs suggest candidate transcription factors that may regulate enhancers with shared activities. Together, these expression patterns provide a valuable resource to the community and offer a broad overview of how transcriptional regulatory information is distributed in the Drosophila genome.

Herpesvirus mediated activation of coagulation and fibrinolytic proteins

description: Vascular disease, a leading cause of death worldwide, is associated with multiple risk factors that include age, diet, lifestyle and genetics. Herpesviruses, highly prevalent in the general population, have also been linked to vascular disease. To investigate the molecular basis of this relationship, the interactions between virus surface proteins and host hemostatic plasma proteins, comprising both clot forming (coagulation) and clot dissolving (fibrinolytic) proteases, which can both contribute to vascular disease, were studied. Previously, our laboratory demonstrated that purified herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV1) and -2 (HSV2) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) contain cell-derived tissue factor (TF) and anionic phospholipids (aPL). Independent of cells, TF and aPL with factor (F) VIIa (FVIIa) initiate the extrinsic pathway of coagulation, activate FX to FXa, and lead to thrombin generation. This thesis identified additional herpesvirus-mediated coagulation pathway(s) and also demonstrated herpesvirus-mediated fibrinolysis. In addition to TF, FVIII amplified HSV1-initiated coagulation through the intrinsic pathway. Alternatively, independent of TF, HSV1 initiated coagulation through the contact pathway, via FXII activation. The ability to exploit the extrinsic, intrinsic and contact pathway of coagulation should make herpesvirus infection a strong prothrombotic risk yet the clinical correlation to vascular disease is relatively weak. To explain the in vitro versus clinical discrepancy, virus-mediated fibrinolysis was evaluated. Purified herpesviruses accelerated tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)-dependent plasminogen (Pg) activation to plasmin (Pn), the primary fibrinolytic protease responsible for fibrin clot dissolution. This Pn generation was independent of the physiological cofactor fibrin. Cell-derived annexin 2 (A2), previously identified on the surface of CMV, is a known accelerator of tPA-dependent Pn generation. Although A2 was identified among several Pg binding partners associated with each herpesvirus, it was dispensable for Pn generation. Herpesvirus-mediated plasminogen activation enhanced fibrinolysis independent of exogenous tPA. The enhanced fibrinolysis may attenuate the prothrombotic risk of herpesviruses, as an independent predictor of vascular disease. Plasmin enhanced cell susceptibility to infection, a virus-survival advantage also known for thrombin, FVIIa and FXa. Overall, for herpesviruses and other enveloped viruses, a mechanism is suggested where the envelope constituents initiate the activation of both pro-coagulation and pro-fibrinolytic proteins, modulating host cell susceptibility to infection and contributing to vascular disease.
