description: We show that the current bounds on the time variation of the Newton constant G can put severe constraints on many interesting scalar-tensor theories which possess a shift symmetry and a nonminimal matter-scalar coupling. This includes, in particular, Galileon-like models with a Vainshtein screening mechanism. We underline that this mechanism, if efficient to hide the effects of the scalar field at short distance and in the static approximation, can in general not alter the cosmological time evolution of the scalar field. This results in a locally measured time variation of G which is too large when the matter-scalar coupling is of order one.

Should egg donors be paid? Exploitation or a woman's right?

Medical ethics

description: Paying women to donate oocytes has sparked much controversy. Interestingly, a duality of practice has evolved. In many parts of the world compensation is prohibited, while in some countries, particularly the United States, donating gametes is handsomely rewarded. It seems naive to presume a consensus will be reached regarding the correct approach. Furthermore, the United States is highly unlikely to curtail or regulate payments by law. Thus, supply and demand will inevitably continue to dictate policy, and the price of oocyte donation will escalate along with donor fees. There exists an inherent moral ambiguity in a practice of medicine that simultaneously places young women at risk of infertility while treating the childlessness of other women. Which need is paramount? Do benefits to one group far outweigh the risks posed to the other? These issues fascinate medical ethicists but torment practitioners who choose to provide services to women needing donor eggs.

description: Over 10,000 privately owned fenced wildlife ranches with 16 million head of game have transformed 25 million ha of marginal agricultural land with limited water into thriving operations with far greater economic output than from cattle livestock enterprises (total head only 14 million). A commercial game ranch generates an economic output of about $31/ha compared to $11/ha for livestock farming and creates better paid jobs for a skilled workforce. Meat production and processing on these ranches offers a practical route to improved food security and economic sustainability while maintaining biodiversity. In the past game ranchers had limited options with regards to the utilization of game meat but this scenario changed when a market demand emerged for organic, natural and healthier protein food. A pro-active initiative from Wildlife Ranching South Africa (WRSA), the official mouthpiece of game ranchers in South Africa produced the Game Meat Scheme that was, only after nine years finally successfully negotiated with SA government in a bid to practically guide the legal provision of safe game meat to the local market. The greatest benefit is the fact that the Scheme places the full financial benefits of game meat into the hands of the game rancher. The required registration of the facility on the farm and the rancher as the game meat examiner (meat inspection) will ensure that safe quality meat is produced and will ensure the SA Game Industry to grow from strength to strength and provide the answer to the escalating protein food shortage.

description: The goal of this experiment is to tackle said problem by experimentally testing the predictions of one of the most prominent theories of the field – the 2-factor theory. This theory constitutes 2 factors, item-specific and relational processing, as the underlying factors for the mnemonic effect. Within our experiment we orthogonally vary relational vs. item-specific processing for read compared to generated words. If the prediction of the 2-factor theory holds, we expect a relational processing induced benefit only for the read, but not the generate condition.

description: In this talk we review recent calculations of the asymptotic supergravity fields sourced by bound states of D1 and D5-branes carrying travelling waves. We compute disk one-point functions for the massless closed string fields. At large distances from the branes, the effective open string coupling is small, even in the regime of parameters where the classical D1-D5-P black hole may be considered. The fields sourced by the branes differ from the black hole solution by various multipole moments, and have led to the construction of a new 1/8-BPS ansatz in type IIB supergravity.

Investigation into the role and regulation of histone lysine methylation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Creators: name: MacDonald, Vicki Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Post-translational modification of histones is one way that chromatin structure is altered to modulate transcription. Histone modifications serve as “marks” on chromatin, which are recognized by specific proteins that have a direct effect on chromatin structure. Lysine methylation is particularly complex and the function and regulation of all lysine methylation marks is not fully understood. Histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3) correlates with patterns of histone acetylation and transcriptional activation. Jhd2 has been identified as the major H3K4me3 histone demethylase (HDM) in S. cerevisiae, but its mechanism during transcriptional repression is unknown. This thesis demonstrates that acetylation of H3 negatively regulates demethylation of H3K4me3 by Jhd2 and provides evidence of crosstalk between lysine acetylation and H3K4me3. Additionally, we provide a potential mechanism for removal of H3K4me3 following gene repression. Several methyl-lysine binding domains have been identified. Isw1 is found as the catalytic subunit of three ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling complexes in S. cerevisiae. These complexes function at different regions of the genome, but the mechanism behind this patterning is uncharacterized. One of these complexes, Isw1b, localizes to the mid- and 3’ regions of genes in a pattern similar to H3K36me3. We demonstrate that the Isw1b subunit, Ioc4, interacts with H3K36me3 through its PWWP domain. This provides a targeting mechanism for Isw1b to specific areas of the genome. NuA3 is a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex that has also been demonstrated to interact with H3K36me3. Like, Isw1b, NuA3 contains an auxiliary protein that contains a PWWP domain, Nto2. Our data demonstrates that the Nto2 PWWP domain is the best candidate for NuA3 interaction with H3K36me3, however a direct interaction remains to be shown. We also demonstrate that both H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 are required for interaction of NuA3 with chromatin; thus, the subunits in NuA3 may undergo bivalent interaction with chromatin. These findings provide insight into the regulation of H3K4me3 and the function of H3K36me3 during normal cellular function. H3K4me3 is regulated through crosstalk with lysine acetylation and H3K36me3 targets other chromatin modification complexes to specific areas of the genome.
Reversal of tubal sterilization using laparoscopically placed titanium staples: preliminary experience

description: We tested the feasibility of performing outpatient laparoscopic surgery to reverse tubal sterilization using titanium staples to reapproximate the oviducts. A total of 14 women underwent the procedure which involved excision of the tubal eschar, stenting of the severed remnants, and circumferential stapling of the muscularis and serosa. Reapproximation was possible in all cases, with a measured tubal length post-anastomosis of 4.5 +/- 0.5 cm (range 3.0-7.0 cm). The length of operating time was 2.8 +/- 0.2 h (range 2.2-3.8 h), and all patients were discharged the same day. There were no operative complications, and no readmissions were necessary. Within 6 months of surgery there were six pregnancies including one spontaneous abortion and five ongoing pregnancies. Of those not conceiving within 8 months, seven (100%) demonstrated tubal patency on a follow-up hysterosalpingogram. We conclude the laparoscopic approach to tubal sterilization reversal is a viable alternative to open abdominal microsurgical approaches. Although preliminary, laparoscopic surgery promises to be cost effective, as it can be performed on an outpatient basis, may reduce operative time and minimizes the recuperative period of patients.

description: In a previous experiment, we found that people expect the protagonist to relay the information about the benefits of their advice to those whose benefit is larger. However, the previous set of vignettes and the question were ambiguous, such that they could’ve been interpreted as the protagonist choosing whom to impart the benefits to, not only whom to communicate them. In this experiment, we nevertheless again expect to replicate this finding, i.e. that participants will predict that the protagonist will choose to divulge information about high benefits of a given piece of information (vs. a low benefit).

The example embeds into a homogeneous von Neumann algebra. We also observe that there are singly generated, biflat subalgebras of finite Type I von Neumann algebras, which are not amenable (and hence are not isomorphic to C*-algebras). Such an example can be used to show that a certain extension property for commutative operator algebras, which is shown in arXiv:1012.4259 to follow from amenability, does not necessarily imply amenability.

description: Healthy biosystems imply management of animal resources that are in synchrony with food supply. In the long-term, this translates into biological resources that have both economic and ecological sustainability and balance. Both, Nunavut, Canada and Namibia, Africa have an abundance of natural food resources. Food insecurity among aboriginal communities in these same regions is well documented. The World Health Organization defines food security when all people have access to good food to maintain life. In Canada, an Inuit Health Survey determined that about 68-69% of preschool children lived in food insecure homes and the same range of adults was also food insecure in Nunavut during 2007-08. Aboriginal people of Namibia, like other African countries, lack refrigeration to maintain meat food over extensive periods of time in this hot climate and also inadequate in daily protein consumption. Development of value-added, shelf-stable country foods in these for aboriginal peoples in these extreme climatic regions will have several long-term benefits. These include: job creation, resource sustainability, economic development, training and education, empower women through job training and education, better nutrition and food security, and create self-reliance. This paper explores the problems of both communities and how the developments are viewed and impacting the respective regions.

description: Characterization of exoplanets has matured in recent years, particularly through studies of exoplanetary atmospheres of transiting planets at infra-red wavelenegths. The primary source for such observations has been the Spitzer Space Telescope but these studies are anticipated to continue with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). A relatively unexplored region of exoplanet parameter space is the thermal detection of long-period eccentric planets during periastron passage. Here we describe the thermal properties and albedos of long-period giant planets along with the eccentricities of those orbits which allow them to remain within the habitable zone. We further apply these results to the known exoplanets by calculating temperatures and flux ratios for the IRAC passbands occupied by warm Spitzer, considering both low and high thermal redistribution efficiencies from the perspective of an observer. We conclude with recommendations on which targets are best suited for follow-up observations.

Work-related cardiovascular risk factors among professional firefighters in British Columbia, Canada : an investigation of noise, carbon monoxide and cortisol secretion
Creators: name: Kirkham, Tracy Lea
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Cardiovascular disease is the largest contributor to chronic disease in Canada. The evidence for the risk of cardiovascular disease among firefighters, an occupational group with known exposures to work-related cardiovascular risk factors, is inconsistent. The inconsistencies are thought to be due to influences of the healthy worker effect and lack of exposure data, limiting the ability to develop meaningful internal comparisons. This dissertation aimed to characterize exposures to work-related cardiovascular risk factors among professional firefighters in British Columbia including carbon monoxide, noise, and stress. Fifty-eight male suppression firefighters from Metro Vancouver were recruited into the exposure study from three large municipal fire departments. The first study characterized noise and carbon monoxide during firefighting. Firefighters were exposed to elevated noise levels (45% of measurements exceeded occupational limits) that may negatively contribute to their cardiovascular health. Significant determinants of noise were working dayshifts, in non-supervisory jobs, on engine and rescue trucks; responding to increasing number of emergency calls (particularly motor vehicle accidents and building alarms); conducting training; and fire equipment use. The second and third studies evaluated cortisol to determine the effects of shift work on cortisol secretion and identify determinants of exposure to stress, measured by cortisol secretion. Rotating shifts resulted in significant changes in cortisol secretion; the first day of work and mornings following nightshifts showed the greatest changes in secretion patterns. Our results suggest three days off work are required to return to baseline cortisol secretion following nightshifts. In multivariable models, work-related demographic (duration in current job, job role), psychosocial (coworker social support, subjective stress levels of events, calls involving death) and physical (wearing self-contained breathing apparatus, conducting physical training) factors were identified as determinants in changes in cortisol secretion patterns over the work day when controlling for personal factors. Collectively these studies contribute to the data gaps in the exposure measurement of work-related cardiovascular risk factors among firefighters. This dissertation provides evidence of increased exposures to cardiovascular risk factors and points to potential exposure determinants that may be used to develop internal comparisons. However; due to the variability in firefighting, further studies are needed to fully describe exposures.

description: Hundreds of thousands of lives in the Gulf Coast region were affected by Hurricane Katrina. The Children's Health Fund (CHF) responded rapidly to the needs of children and their families after the hurricane. CHF is a national organization that supports direct health services, education, and advocacy for medically underserved children. Although CHF's principle mission is the provision of extended primary care services for children and adolescents, the organization is capable of mobilizing rapidly in response to acute medical and public health crises. In fact, the CHF has responded to catastrophic events twice before the Gulf Coast storms of 2005. The first was the 1992 deployment of a mobile medical unit (MMU) to South Florida in the immediate aftermath of category 5 Hurricane Andrew. Then, in 2001 after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, New York, the CHF deployed 2 MMUs (fully equipped, self-contained “medical offices on wheels”) to the triage-and-response efforts at ground zero. Thus, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, within days of the storm's landfall, the CHF was able to deploy MMUs to the Biloxi-Gulfport community in Mississippi and a number of shelter sites for displaced persons in Louisiana.

description: When he filled out the race section of the 2010 U.S. Census survey, President Barack Obama checked the "Black, African Am., or Negro" box despite the fact that Obama is of both European-American and African ancestry. This simple fact raises a number of complicated questions and challenges the idea that race, or more properly, racism, is a thing of the past or "post" as used in "post-racial."  What follows is a critique of the "post-racial" ideology. Centuries of racial sedimentation have made some aspects of racism invisible to the eye, yet an analysis of the post-racial concept shows that debates on race and color are fundamentally flawed. This Essay exposes the concept as a type of wishful thinking, and more critically, how the law prevents this wish from being fulfilled.

description: United States depart of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is serving as the lead federal agency in a cooperative effort with other federal, state, tribal, and local entities that share a common interest in reducing or eliminating problems caused by feral swine. APHIS' goal in conducting the National Feral Swine Damage Management Program is to reduce damage and risks to agriculture, natural resources, property, animal health, and human health and safety in the United States by reducing or eliminating feral swine populations, in cooperation with states, tribes, other federal agencies, organizations, and others. APHIS' strategy is to provide resources and expertise at a national level, while allowing flexibility to manage operational activities from a local or state perspective. APHIS will implement activities to reduce problems associated with feral swine in most states where they are present. In states where feral swine are emerging or populations are low, APHIS is cooperating with local and state agencies to implement strategies to eliminate them. National projects have been implemented to enable comprehensive coverage of disease monitoring, risk analysis, and economic analysis, along with other research activities on feral swine. Wildlife Services has established a baseline capacity through Wildlife Services State Programs in states with feral swine to address damage. Wildlife Services also has funded additional projects identified by Wildlife Services State Directors, along with cooperators, to address specific feral swine issues. APHIS will seek partners in all aspects of feral swine damage management.

description: The goal of terrorism is to create havoc and disrupt the normal functioning of society.  To understand the impact of terrorism on a country it is useful to consider two types of country experiences with these shocks to the social order--the instance of a very small number of attacks against high profile targets and the case of chronic terror with a great number of attacks, generally against targets that are part of routine daily activities.  The present study explores the Israeli experience with chronic terror.  Using expenditure information from coffee shops and restaurants we examine how individuals assess their vulnerability to an attack and adjust their behavior.  Specifically, we explore whether distance from the site of an attack, and similarity of a contemplated undertaking to the target of a recent attack, influence decision making in a context of chronic terror.  We find strong support for a situational similarity effect but only weak evidence for a proximity effect.  We examine the implications of these findings for the organization of economic activity.

description: We consider Bloch oscillations of Bose-Einstein condensates in presence of a time-modulated s-wave scattering length. Generically, interaction leads to dephasing and decay of the wave packet. Based on a cyclic-time argument, we find---additionally to the linear Bloch oscillation and a rigid soliton solution---an infinite family of modulations that lead to a periodic time evolution of the wave packet. In order to quantitatively describe the dynamics of Bloch oscillations in presence of time-modulated interactions, we employ two complementary methods: collective-coordinates and the linear stability analysis of an extended wave packet. We provide instructive examples and address the question of robustness against external perturbations.

From water to watershed : an analysis of rescaled water governance in Canada
Creators: name: Cohen, Alice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Recent water governance reforms (in Canada and internationally) promote a shift from political to watershed boundaries for the purposes of water governance. This ‘watershed approach’ typically includes a shift from political to hydrologic boundaries, increased extra-governmental participation in decision-making, and some degree of delegation to watershed-scale organizations. This dissertation analyzes the uptake of the watershed approach in four Canadian jurisdictions: Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and answers the following research question: why has rescaling to watersheds occurred, and what are its governance implications? The empirical analysis employs primary data derived from legislative and policy reviews, as well as from forty-nine in-depth interviews with representatives from provincial governments, watershed-scale organizations, and non-governmental organizations in four case study provinces. The theoretical framework of the dissertation draws on – and engages with – recent debates about scale, governance, environmental management, and political ecology. On this basis, the dissertation makes three interrelated arguments. The first argument is that the justifications for choosing a watershed approach are often ambiguous. Specifically, Chapter 3 of the dissertation highlights a conceptual slippage between watersheds’ development as a technical tool and uptake as a governance framework. The second argument is that the widespread appeal of watersheds can be explained, at least in part, by their status as boundary objects (defined as a common or shared concept interpreted differently by different groups). And third, the dissertation argues that the implications of rescaled water governance can usefully advance current conceptualizations of rescaling by informing debates with respect to the political ecology of scale. Together, these arguments contribute to current knowledge by pointing to a new approach to the study of watersheds. Moreover, the synthetic findings of the dissertation make a key contribution to practical and conceptual debates about rescaling by drawing connections between the reasons for, and implications of, rescaled water governance. In particular, the research suggests that the reasons for watersheds’ uptake do not align with the governance implications associated with their implementation.

description: Griffithsin (GRFT), Cyanovirin-N (CV-N) and Scytovirin (SVN) are lectins that inhibit HIV-1 infection by binding to multiple mannose-rich glycans on the HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Env). Here we show that these lectins neutralize subtype C primary virus isolates in addition to Env-pseudotyped viruses obtained from plasma and cervical vaginal lavages. Among 15 subtype C pseudoviruses, the median IC50 values were 0.4, 1.8 and 20.1 nM for GRFT, CV-N and SVN, respectively, similar to what was found for subtype B and A. Analysis of Env sequences suggested that concomitant lack of glycans at positions 234 and 295 resulted in natural resistance to these compounds, which was confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis. Furthermore, the binding sites for these lectins overlapped that of the 2G12 monoclonal antibody epitope, which is generally absent on subtype C Env. This data support further research on these lectins as potential microbicides in the context of HIV-1 subtype C infection.

Cause and Effect of Feedback: Multiphase Gas in Cluster Cores Heated by AGN Jets

description: Multiwavelength data indicate that the X-ray emitting plasma in the cores of galaxy clusters is not cooling catastrophically. To large extent, cooling is offset by heating due to active galactic nuclei (AGN) via jets. The cool-core clusters, with cooler/denser plasmas, show multiphase gas and signs of some cooling in their cores. These observations suggest that the cool core is locally thermally unstable while maintaining global thermal equilibrium. Using high-resolution, three-dimensional simulations we study the formation of multiphase gas in cluster cores heated by highly-collimated bipolar AGN jets. Our key conclusion is that spatially extended multiphase filaments form only when the instantaneous ratio of the thermal instability and free-fall timescales (t_TI/t_ff) falls below a critical threshold of \approx 10. When this happens, dense cold gas decouples from the hot ICM phase and generates inhomogeneous and spatially extended Halpha filaments. These cold gas clumps and filaments `rain' down onto the central regions of the core, forming a cold rotating torus and in part feeding the supermassive black hole. Consequently, the self-regulated feedback enhances AGN heating and the core returns to a higher entropy level with t_TI/t_ff > 10. Eventually the core reaches quasi-stable global thermal equilibrium, and cold filaments condense out of the hot ICM whenever t_TI/t_ff \lesssim 10. This occurs despite the fact that the energy from AGN jets is supplied to the core in a highly anisotropic fashion. The effective spatial redistribution of heat is enabled in part by the turbulent motions in the wake of freely-falling cold filaments. Increased AGN activity can locally reverse the cold gas flow, launching cold filamentary gas away from the cluster center. Our criterion for the condensation of spatially extended cold gas is in agreement with observations and previous idealized simulations.
