description: The Herschel Space Observatory has revealed a very different galaxyscape from that shown by optical surveys which presents a challenge for galaxy-evolution models. The Herschel surveys reveal (1) that there was rapid galaxy evolution in the very recent past and (2) that galaxies lie on a single Galaxy Sequence (GS) rather than a star-forming ‘main sequence’ and a separate region of ‘passive’ or ‘red-and-dead’ galaxies. The form of the GS is now clearer because far-infrared surveys such as the Herschel ATLAS pick up a population of optically red star-forming galaxies that would have been classified as passive using most optical criteria. The space-density of this population is at least as high as the traditional star-forming population. By stacking spectra of H-ATLAS galaxies over the redshift range 0.001 < z < 0.4, we show that the galaxies responsible for the rapid low-redshift evolution have high stellar masses, high star-formation rates but, even several billion years in the past, old stellar populations – they are thus likely to be relatively recent ancestors of early-type galaxies in the Universe today. The form of the GS is inconsistent with rapid quenching models and neither the analytic bathtub model nor the hydrodynamical EAGLE simulation can reproduce the rapid cosmic evolution. We propose a new gentler model of galaxy evolution that can explain the new Herschel results and other key properties of the galaxy population.

Abstract

Fiducial Reference Measurements (FRM) are high-quality, calibrated and SI-traceable reference in situ measurements needed for the validation of climate-quality or reference satellite Sea and sea-Ice Surface Temperatures (SST/IST), such as from Copernicus Sentinel-3 Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometers (SLSTR). 

Since 2018, within the frame of the Copernicus TRUSTED (www.eumetsat.int/TRUSTED) project, over 177 drifting buoys have been deployed worldwide, providing high quality in situ SST measurements towards FRM quality. Recent achievements have been the definition of an uncertainty diagram for the buoy SST measurements providing traceability to SI and updates of the platform and measurement metadata and quality control processes. Since 2022, activities have begun towards developing high quality sea-ice measurements from drifters with a newly developed prototype probe by NKE, with 16 equally spaced thermistors, now completed and under calibration and testing by the SHOM and DMI. This year sees the development of the IST drifting buoy platform which is planned to be further calibrated and tested in Qaanaaq, Greenland in winter 2024/2025. An operational service of IST measurements is expected to follow in 2026 / 2027 to support the upcoming availability of operational Day-1 IST products from SLSTR.

The presentation will give an overview of the status and details of TRUSTED FRM drifting buoys for SST and IST at high-latitudes and over sea-ice, including the status of the availability of current measurements and definitions, development of new platforms / sensors, progress with uncertainty diagrams and metadata / quality control and future steps and recommendations.

Oat seed storage protein genes: Promoter studies in transgenic tobacco plants.
Creators: name: Potier, Bernard.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: The seed storage proteins of oat are mainly represented by the globulins (75%) and the prolamins (10%). These proteins are only found in the endosperm and accumulate within protein bodies during the maturation of the oat seeds. Three genomic sequences encoding globulin polypeptides and one avenin genomic sequence encoding an oat prolamin (avenin) have been isolated and characterized. The respective promoters of these genomic clones were fused to the coding sequence of the $\beta$-glucuronidase reporter gene (GUS). These constructs, together with the entire sequence of a globulin gene, were transferred into tobacco via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Analysis of the transgenic tobacco seeds showed for the first time that the promoters of the oat globulin and avenin genes are able to regulate the expression of the GUS sequence in an endosperm-specific and developmentally controlled manner in a dicot plant, as in oat seeds with the original seed storage protein gene. One of the globulin promoters was shown to be probably inactive, whereas two other promoters appear to direct strong expression in the seeds of transgenic tobacco plants. A deletion analysis on one of the functional promoters demonstrated that a portion of the promoter upstream of nucleotide -259 (relative to the start of transcription as determined in oat) was required for expression. Sequence analysis of the globulin promoters showed the lack of conserved elements which are found in other storage protein gene promoters, and believed to play an important role in the regulation of seed storage protein genes. It was nonetheless demonstrated in this study that the absence of such elements did not prevent a correct functionality of the oat globulin promoters in transgenic tobacco seeds. The avenin promoter, when fused to the GUS sequence, also showed strong expression in the endosperm of transgenic tobacco seeds. Sequence analysis of the upstream region of the avenin gene confirmed the presence of a highly conserved 'prolamin box'. The possible role of this element was therefore further demonstrated in this work. This work has also showed for the first time a difference in the choice of transcriptional start sites of two monocot (oat) seed storage protein genes after transfer into a dicot species (tobacco).
Risk and monitoring based indicators of receiving water status

Year: 2013
Subjects: EG-Wasserrahmenrichtlinie

description: The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) was enacted in the year 2000 with a stepwise approach. After legal implementation in the various member states large efforts were undertaken for the initial characterization of water bodies, risk assessment, to implement extensive monitoring schemes and to develop management plans at different aggregation levels by the year 2010. The initial characterization process and risk assessment had to be finalized by 2004 and delineated water bodies including a typological classification and identified the significant pressures and impacts in a screening procedure. In parallel, monitoring programmes and new biological indicator systems were developed in order to proof and refine the results of the risk assessment with an ecological indicator based assessment in a subsequent step which was finalized in 2009. Although the risk assessment for Germany was based on existing data that were originally collected for other purposes and came from a large variety of environmental or economical sectors, the results differ only slightly from the monitoring and indicator based information with respect to classifications of the 'ecological status' and 'chemical status'. From this result we conclude that a risk assessment based on a careful application and intelligent combination of existing data sources with proven quality allows the recognition of trends and the identification of priorities for action of measures already at an early stage of a management process. However, monitoring schemes and advanced sets of ecological indicators are essential in later management steps both for narrowing uncertainties remaining from the risk assessment and to allow for effect controls of implemented measures. Moreover, these monitoring indicators should differentiate the effects of multiple stressors more factor specific and with respect to ecosystem states and functions. In conclusion, we see risk and indicator based assessments as complementary elements in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), which have to be linked in systematic and phased procedures. © 2013 IWA Publishing.

description: A novel dual linearly polarized cavity antenna with excellent scan performance up to 60◦ in both E- and H-plane is presented. The highly integrated antenna element for Ka band Satcom on the move applications is operating in the uplink band at 30 GHz. Vertical stubs incorporated into the 3-D architecture are proposed to compensate parasitic effects limiting the scan volume of planar phased array antennas. To verify this approach, the vertical transition used in the design, and the entire antenna structure in single element configuration were fabricated and measured successfully.

Cooperative multi-robot relative positioning using round-trip ultrasonic ranging network in indoor environment
Creators: name: Geris, Hany
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Research on ultrasonic ranging localization networks is being pursued for use in cooperative multi-robot systems. Many network topology variants have been developed. However, it is difficult to meaningfully compare them. This is due to the utilization of different terminologies in describing their conceptual design instead of exploiting the popular computer network terms. In this thesis, a novel round-trip ultrasonic positioning network is developed for indoor environments. The proposed technique keeps the overall hardware cost at minimum as the synchronization between the ultrasonic transceivers does not use real time RF burst signals for ranging system time of flight coordination. Moreover, the proposed network ensures a reasonably high position estimation accuracy. It can be used in either of two modes of operation: The communication-dependent mode which is suitable for tightly coupled tasks, and the communication-independent mode which suits the execution of loosely coupled tasks. This research work presents the topology, methodology of network operation, and computer simulations of the positioning system operation to illustrate its performance. A prototype proposed localization network is implemented and tested. The experimental results proved the feasibility of the proposed solution and highlighted implementation issues.

description: Damselflies Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis exhibiting black wings are found in the western Mediterranean, Algeria, France, Italy, Spain and Monaco. Wing pigmentation is caused by the presence of melanin, which is involved in physiological processes including defence reactions, wound healing and sclerotization of the insect. Despite the important physiological roles of melanin, the presence and colour variation among males and females of the C. haemorrhoidalis species and the localization of the pigment within the wing membrane remain poorly understood. In this study, infrared (IR) microspectroscopy, coupled with the highly collimated synchrotron IR beam, was employed in order to identify the distribution of the pigments in the wings at a high spatial resolution. It was found that the melanin is localized in the procuticle of the C. haemorrhoidalis damselfly wings, distributed homogeneously within this layer, and not associated with the lipids of the epicuticle.

Regulation of the rat ovarian plasminogen activator system during follicular development.
Creators: name: Karakji, Eli Gabriel.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Biology, Cell.

description: Successful ovarian follicular growth and ovulation require controlled and directional proteolytic activity for cell migration and follicular wall rapture. Plasminogen activator (PA) system is known to be involved in tissue remodelling during various physiologic and pathologic processes. PA system comprises two activators (tissue-type, tPA and urokinase-type, uPA), three inhibitors (PAI-1, PAI-2 and protein nexin-I) and one receptor (uPAR). In vivo expression of the PA system during follicular development was studied in the immature female rat. Whereas tPA, PAI and uPAR mRNA expression and protein distribution increased in both granulosa and theca-interstitial layers during follicular maturation and reached maximum levels during the preovulatory period, the opposite was true for uPA. Urokinase PA was highly expressed at early stage of development and markedly decreased prior to the expected time of ovulation. Net secreted PA (PAs) and cell associated PA (PAc) activities were higher in differentiated cells and PAs accounted for 70-80% of the total PA activity in both cell stages of follicular development. Our results suggest that (1) a coordinated expression of ovarian PA system exists during follicular development when granulosa cells undergo transformation from undifferentiated and proliferatively active cells to highly differentiated but mitogenically relatively quiescent ones, and (2) in addition to gonadotropins, several intra-ovarian factors play an important role in the regulation of the ovarian PA system during follicular development.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: New and efficient modelling concepts and procedures based on Tangential Vectorial Finite Element method has been developed for the analysis of generalized microwave and millimeter-wave structures. A two-dimensional formulation using the Edge finite element method has been developed to determine the electromagnetic field distributions of transmission media of rectangular cross-section and eddy-current problem when the tangential E-field has been known or the tangential H-field has been forced, on the conductive boundaries. The formulation has been developed using the E-field or the H-field and making use of the edge variables in the transversal plane and the node variables in the longitudinal plane, in order to yield a Boundary Value Problem with integral equations. The region of interest has been discretized using six-node triangles, where the end points of the triangles has been used to compute the axial components whereas the midpoints along each sides has been used to find the tangential components, and the field functions has been defined using linear vector shape functions. The frequency domain FEM program has been validated by analyzing simplified geometries and comparing them with analytical or previously published results. The algorithm, which has its own simple mesh generator, has been proved to have a convergent solution and used to analyze microwave structures. The eigenvalue problems have been solved directly for the propagation constants making use of reliable subroutines from the EISPACK library, and the deterministic problems directly for the field distributions. The structures studied include ordinary shielded microstrip and a dielectric-loaded waveguide. Conclusions has been drawn on the feasibility of using this accurate edge element method for interesting applications in high speed interconnections, using higher order elements and in three dimensions.

description: Depuis le debut des annees septante, les marches financiers ont affiche des taux d'interet eleves et et surtout plus oscillants qu'auparavant. Parallelement a cette tendance, les deficits ont conduit la dette canadienne a un niveau alarmant. Existe-t-il un lien comportemental entre l'accroissement des deficits budgetaires et cette precarite qui caracterise les taux d'interet? De notre survol theorique, nous avons degage les constats suivants: les deficits pourraient s'accompagner de pressions inflationnistes; ils pourraient egalement amplifier les craintes futures d'une monetisation de la dette, voire meme accroi tre la fraction non anticipee de la croissance monetaire; et ils pourraient aller jusqu'a effrayer les investisseurs devalorisant ainsi le dollar. Cette vision traditionnelle soutient que l'endettement canadien aurait contribue a l'instauration de telles perturbations sur les taux d'interet. Toutefois, la notion d'equivalence ricardienne, reinstituee par Barro, postule plutot une neutralite de la dette. Ce theoreme s'appuie de preuves empiriques. Notre objectif se borne a l'observation empirique de ce postulat contradictoire. Notre modelisation macro-econometrique s'apparente a celle employee par Evans en 1987; il s'agit d'une equation reduite des taux d'interet reels ex posts qui insere un modele "term structure" et un processus stochastique (VAR$\sb{(4)}$). Notons, toutefois, l'ajout de deux variables explicatives, soit les attentes inflationnistes et les taux d'interet americains. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

The non-death role for the yeast metacaspase: YCA1 prevents the accumulation of insoluble protein aggregates

Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: The caspase family of proteases are regulators of cell fate contributing to apoptosis, proliferation and differentiation. The yeast metacaspase, YCA1, is an ancestral caspase protease that is an established mediator of death processes, however, contribution to non-apoptotic processes have not been explored. Using systems level proteomic analysis we have identified a novel role for the yeast metacaspase in the clearance of insoluble protein aggregates. This function contributes to the fitness and adaptability of wild-type yeast. Our observations suggest that death and non-death caspase function emerged in single celled eukaryotes.

description: We use chemical transport modelling to better understand the extent to which policy-related anthropogenic mercury emissions changes (a policy signal) can be statistically detected in wet deposition measurements in the Great Lakes region on the subdecadal scale, given sources of noise. In our modelling experiment, we consider hypothetical regional (North American) and global (rest of the world) policy changes, consistent with existing policy efforts (Δglobal = -18%; (Δregional = -30%) that divide an eight-year period. The magnitude of statistically significant (p<0.1) pre- and post-policy period wet deposition differences, holding all else constant except for the policy change, ranges from -0.3 to -2.0% for the regional policy and -0.8 to -2.7% for the global policy. We then introduce sources of noise—trends and variability in factors that are exogenous to the policy action—and evaluate the extent to which the policy signal can still be detected. For instance, technology-related variability in emissions magnitude and speciation can shift the magnitude of differences between periods, in some cases dampening the policy effect. We find that interannual variability in meteorology has the largest effect of the sources of noise considered, driving deposition differences between periods ±20%, exceeding the magnitude of the policy signal. However, our simulations suggest that gaseous elemental mercury concentration may be more robust to this meteorological variability in this region, and a stronger indicator of local/regional emissions changes. These results highlight the potential challenges of detecting statistically significant policy-related changes in Great Lakes wet deposition within the subdecadal scale.

Examining the early development of intellectual assets and intellectual property in new technology based firms
Creators: name: Gregson, Geoffrey

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper considers how entrepreneurs in new technology-based firms (NTBFs) create, develop and exploit their knowledge assets. While the contribution of knowledge and intangible assets in generating firm value and competitive advantage is well placed in the literature, the progressive development and exploitation of intellectual capital (IC), intellectual property (IP) and intellectual property rights (IPRs) in the NTBF and the entrepreneurial function underpinning this activity have received little attention. The paper first consolidates perspectives from knowledge asset and entrepreneurship literature, theories of the firm, strategic management, social systems and socio-legal theory. The paper goes on to describe the research framework used in a current empirical study on the topic.

description: Despite recent advances in therapies including immunotherapy, patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) still experience relatively poor survival rates. The Inhibition of Apoptosis (IAP) family member, survivin, also known by its gene and protein name, Baculoviral IAP Repeat Containing 5 (BIRC5), remains one of the most frequently expressed antigens across AML subtypes. To better understand its potential to act as a target for immunotherapy and a biomarker for AML survival, we examined the protein and pathways that BIRC5 interacts with using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), search tool for recurring instances of neighbouring genes (STRING), WEB-based Gene Set Analysis Toolkit, Bloodspot and performed a comprehensive literature review. We then analysed data from gene expression studies. These included 312 AML samples in the Microarray Innovations In Leukemia (MILE) dataset. We found a trend between above median levels of BIRC5 being associated with improved overall survival (OS) but this did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.077, Log-Rank). There was some evidence of a beneficial effect in adjusted analyses where above median levels of BIRC5 were shown to be associated with improved OS (p = 0.001) including in Core Binding Factor (CBF) patients (p = 0.03). Above median levels of BIRC5 transcript were associated with improved relapse free survival (p < 0.0001). Utilisation of a second large cDNA microarray dataset including 306 AML cases, again showed no correlation between BIRC5 levels and OS, but high expression levels of BIRC5 correlated with worse survival in inv(16) patients (p = 0.077) which was highly significant when datasets A and B were combined (p = 0.001). In addition, decreased BIRC5 expression was associated with better clinical outcome (p = 0.004) in AML patients exhibiting CBF mainly due to patients with inv(16) (p = 0.007). This study has shown that BIRC5 expression plays a role in the survival of AML patients, this association is not apparent when we examine CBF patients as a cohort, but when those with inv(16) independently indicating that those patients with inv(16) would provide interesting candidates for immunotherapies that target BIRC5.

description: Gewässer sind immer stärker vom Eintrag zahlreicher Mikroverunreinigungen betroffen. Eine Quelle davon sind Arzneimittel. Schon 2013 hatte die Umweltministerkonferenz daher den Beschluss gefasst, Vorschläge zu erarbeiten, mit welchen Regelungen die Hersteller von Arzneimitteln angemessen an den Kosten von Maßnahmen zur Reduzierung von Mikroschadstoffen in den Gewässern beteiligt werden können.Das vorliegende Gutachten greift diesen Beschluss auf. Es prüft das Instrument einer Arzneimittelabgabe und identifiziert mögliche Ansatzpunkte für eine arzneimittelbezogene Abgabe einschließlich ihrer ökonomischen Wirkungen und der jeweiligen rechtlichen Zulässigkeit. Es zeigt auch die jeweiligen Restriktionen auf.

description: On the face of it, the two new films 'Jindabyne' (Ray Lawrence, 2006) and 'Macbeth' (Geoffrey Wright, 2006) may not seem to have much in common. But when one thinks about it, and without wanting to lash them together as a pigeon pair, it is clear that in a couple of imporant ways they are worth considering in tandem.

description: The cryptocurrency system Bitcoin uses a peer-to-peer network to distribute new transactions to all participants. For risk estimation and usability aspects of Bitcoin applications, it is necessary to know the time required to disseminate a transaction within the network. Unfortunately, this time is not immediately obvious and hard to acquire. Measuring the dissemination latency requires many connections into the Bitcoin network, wasting network resources. Some third parties operate that way and publish large scale measurements. Relying on these measurements introduces a dependency and requires additional trust. This work describes how to unobtrusively acquire reliable estimates of the dissemination latencies for transactions without involving a third party. The dissemination latency is modelled with a lognormal distribution, and we estimate their parameters using a Bayesian model that can be updated dynamically. Our approach provides reliable estimates even when using only eight connections, the minimum connection number used by the default Bitcoin client. We provide an implementation of our approach as well as datasets for modelling and evaluation. Our approach, while slightly underestimating the latency distribution, is largely congruent with observed dissemination latencies.

An implementation of high performance FPGA-based genus 3 HECC

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: In today's world people are reliant on all kinds of technological devices such as mobile phones and PDAs to communicate with each other wirelessly or through the internet. As a result, efficient implementations of cryptographic algorithms which are built on embedded systems have become increasingly more important to usability of such devices. The HyperElliptic Curve Cryptosystem (HECC) is one of the emerging cryptographic primitives of the last several years. This cryptosystem can achieve the same security as established public-key cryptosystems, such as those based on RSA or elliptic curves, with much shorter operand length. Shorter operand length means lower power consumption, less computing effort and storage requirements. Those are all fundamental factors in portable devices. However, due to the complex its group operation, it was thought that HECCs were beyond the scope for any practical application. Recently, a lot of effort has gone into developing efficient implementation of HECC in both software and hardware platforms. This thesis presents a practical design HECC in a FPGA platform using the best known explicit formulae. It represents the first ever implementation in genus 3 of HECC targeted for FPGA devices that could be well suited to embedded systems. Its architecture performs the scalar multiplication, one of the key main operations of the cryptosystem, using 4 field multipliers (of type D =4), 4 field adders; outperforming earlier genus 2 implementations in the literature at similar security level.
Simultaneous approximation to real and p-adic numbers

Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: In this thesis, we study the problem of simultaneous approximation to a fixed family of real and p-adic numbers by roots of integer polynomials of restricted type. The method that we use for this purpose was developed by H. DAVENPORT and W.M. SCHMIDT in their study of approximation to real numbers by algebraic integers. This method based on Mahler's Duality requires to study the dual problem of approximation to successive powers of these numbers by rational numbers with the same denominators. Dirichlet's Box Principle provides estimates for such approximations but one can do better. In this thesis we establish constraints on how much better one can do when dealing with the numbers and their squares. We also construct examples showing that at least in some instances these constraints are optimal. Going back to the original problem, we obtain estimates for simultaneous approximation to real and p-adic numbers by roots of integer polynomials of degree 3 or 4 with fixed coefficients in degree ≥ 3. In the case of a single real number (and no p-adic numbers), we extend work of D. Roy by showing that the square of the golden ratio is the optimal exponent of approximation by algebraic numbers of degree 4 with bounded denominator and trace.
