description: Cisplatin, paclitaxel, and bortezomib represent the most employed chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of genitourinary cancers, breast and lung cancers and multiple myeloma. Nevertheless, their clinical use is often associated to the development of peripheral neuropathies characterized mostly by sensory alterations and pain (Argyriou et al., 2012). Several rat models of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) had been established in the past to describe the mechanisms of its development and pathogenesis. However, only few cancer cell lines induce the development of cancer in the rat, while immunodeficient mice best allowed human cancers xenografts to study at the same time, the antineoplastic and neurotoxic effects of chemotherapy. Here we characterized neuropathic pain, neurophysiological and neuropathological alterations induced by chronic chemotherapy in immunodeficient nude mice. Mice were treated with effective doses of cisplatin (4 mg/Kg, i.p), paclitaxel (80 mg/Kg, i.v) and bortezomib (0.8 mg/Kg, i.v) for a 4-6 weeks period. At the end of the 6th week all chemotherapy regimens determined a significant impairment of neurophysiologic parameters, mechanical allodynia and thermal hypo-or hyperalgesia. Light microscopy analysis of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) showed that bortezomib induced morphological alterations in the sensory neurons and satellite cells as dark inclusions and clear vacuolation throughout the cytoplasm. Moreover, sporadic episodes of neuronal degeneration were evident. DRG of cisplatin-treated animals showed severe neuronal atrophy. Moreover bortezomib induced moderate to severe axonal degeneration of the myelinated fibers in the sciatic nerves. More severe changes were induced by paclitaxel where also areas of fibers loss were frequently observed and rare pathological abnormalities were present in unmyelinated fibers. Similar changes were evident in paclitaxel-treated mice (degeneration at different stage of severity in myelinated fibers, enlargement of Schwann cells, fibers loss and dark inclusions in the unmyelinated fibers). These schedules demonstrated to be effective in mimicking clinical features of painful neuropathies and allows to combine the study of peripheral neurotoxicity of chemotherapy drugs to their anti-tumour activity against cancers of human origin.

description: Tissue regeneration replaces damaged cells and is involved in tissue remodeling. In order to investigate the existence of a leitmotif of tissue regeneration, we compared the cellular aspects of regeneration of epidermis, neurons and skeletal muscle, characterized by different types of histological and functional organization. Following damage, all the tissues here analyzed go through three phases: inflammation, regeneration and maturation. Another common feature is the occurrence of cellular de-differentiation and/or differentiation events, including gene transcription, which are typical of embryonic development. Nonetheless, various strategies are used by different tissues to replace their lost parts. The epidermis regenerates ex novo, whereas neurons restore their missing parts; muscle fibers use a mixed strategy, based on the regrowth of missing parts through reconstruction by means of newborn fibers. The choice of either strategy is influenced by the physical, chemical and structural features of the cells as well as by the extracellular matrix typical of a given tissue, which points to the existence of differential, evolutionary-based mechanisms for specific tissue regeneration. Taking skeletal muscle as a model, we present evidence about the importance of the fiber niche to direct and favour tissue regeneration, a phenomenon of particular relevance for highly hierarchized tissues such as striated muscles. Niche properties are accounted for by cell-cell contacts, cell-matrix interaction and paracrine effects in skeletal muscle. The ordered sequence of steps that characterizes the regeneration processes, shared by several tissues, suggests it may be possible to model this extremely important phenomenon to improve guided in situ regeneration interventions.

Making the case for using development cost charges for climate change mitigation
Creators: name: Ng, Polly
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: It is clear that there is a need for climate change mitigation and that local governments can provide and are providing this service. In British Columbia, local governments have a mandate to reduce GHG emissions and provincial policy directions have already made the connection between DCCs and climate change mitigation. The ability to waive existing DCCs can hypothetically create incentives for developers to reduce the GHG emissions of their projects and buildings. In reality, no local government has to date used this tool because the overall incentive may be too small to adequately incent action. As importantly, reducing DCCs means reduced revenue for local government, as development cost charges are monies that local governments levy on new developments to help recoup some of the capital costs resulting from development (Curran 2010). Rather than waiving DCCs for roads, sewers, drainage, water, and parks for climate change mitigation, a potentially more powerful and practical idea is to create a new DCC to fund local government initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A climate change mitigation DCC could be a strong fiscal mechanism for assisting local governments’ mitigation efforts and would add rather than detract from local government revenue. Hence, the central objectives of this project are: • To develop a legally defensible concept of a development cost charge for climate change mitigation that meets the requirements of the rational nexus test; and • To develop a technically feasible methodology for establishing a program and calculating rates for a climate change mitigation development cost charge, using the Surrey City Centre area as a case study.

description: Minimal supersymmetric hybrid inflation utilizes a canonical Kahler potential and a renormalizable superpotential which is uniquely determined by imposing a U(1) R-symmetry. In computing the scalar spectral index $n_s$ we take into account modifications of the tree level potential caused by radiative and supergravity corrections, as well as contributions from the soft supersymmetry breaking terms with a negative soft mass-squared term allowed for the inflaton. All of these contributions play a role in realizing $n_s$ values in the range 0.96-0.97 preferred by WMAP. The U(1) R-symmetry plays an important role in flipped SU(5) by eliminating the troublesome dimension five proton decay. The proton decays into $e^+ π^0$ via dimension six operators arising from the exchange of superheavy gauge bosons with a lifetime of order $10^{34}$-$10^{36}$ years.

description: Big Bang Nucleosynthesis provides us with an observational insight into the very early Universe. Since this mechanism of light element synthesis comes out of the standard model of particle cosmology which follows directly from General Relativity, it is expected that any modifications to GR will result in deviations in the predicted observable parameters which are mainly, the neutron-to-proton ratio and the baryon-to-photon ratio. We use the measured neutron-to-proton ratio and compare the theoretically obtained expressions to constrain two models in the framework of $ f(T,\mathcal{T}) $ gravity. The theoretically constrained models are then tested against observational data from the Hubble dataset and the $ Λ$CDM model to explain the accelerated expansion of the Universe.

description: The objective of this investigation was to first examine the kinematics of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) using EUV and coronagraph images, and then to make a comparison with theoretical models in the hope to identify the driving mechanisms of the CMEs. We have studied two CMEs which occurred on 2006 Dec. 17 (CME06) and 2007 Dec. 31 (CME07). The models studied in this work were catastrophe, breakout, and toroidal instability models. We found that after the eruption, the accelerations of both events exhibited a drop before increasing again. Our comparisons with the theories suggested that CME06 can be best described by a hybrid of the catastrophe and breakout models while CME07 is most consistent with the breakout model.

title: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTIMODAL NEUROADAPTIVE GAMING TECHNOLOGY TO DISTRACT FROM PAINFUL EXPERIENCES.
Creators: name: Stamp, K
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2021

description: Painful experiences can be mitigated by distraction techniques such as video game distraction, due to limited available attentional resources. There are many benefits to using video games as a non-pharmacological intervention, including their cost-effectiveness and absence of side effects or withdrawal symptoms. However, video games cannot provide a distraction which is sufficient for pain management if they are not engaging. This work aims to discuss how and why video games capture attention and explore how modulating game factors can affect the response to pain. The aim of this work in its entirety is to develop a neuroadaptive game which is tailored to reorient attention away from a painful experience, and towards the distraction technique. The neuroadaptive element of this technology will enable a balance of challenge and skill which make a unique and playable game for each participant. The development of the neuroadaptive game was supported by two studies. Study One focused on the determination of optimal game difficulty level for pain distraction, and Study Two furthered this research, alongside determining optimal neurological sites for the monitoring of attention and attentional reorientation. Study 3 explored the use of a neuroadaptive gaming technology to distract from pain – a bespoke, real-time data processing pipeline was developed for this purpose. The limitations of the neuroadaptive game are discussed in detail with considerations for future work and development. The results of the three studies carried out during the course of this work indicate that real-time pre-processing and classification of fNIRS data to a good standard is possible. The studies also revealed that the montage for data collection and features used for data collection are crucial considerations for classification accuracy. This thesis also has implications for further work into neuroadaptive technologies and how these systems can be tested and verified. Statistical significance between a non-neuroadaptive game and a neuroadaptive game was not found throughout the course of this work, although the potential explanations and future considerations are discussed in detail. Overall, we were able to confirm that pain tolerance can be improved with the use of a distraction task, but that the balance of task difficulty and skill level is delicate and requires further exploration.

description: Axillary artery is one of the most important arteries of the upper limb, which is a continua- tion of the subclavian artery. It begins at the lateral border of the first rib and ends at the inferior border of the teres major where it becomes the brachial artery. Axillary artery has six important branches included: 1) Superior thoracic artery 2) Thoracoacromial artery 3) Lateral thoracic artery 4) Subscapular artery 5) Posterior circumflex humeral artery 6) Anterior circumflex humeral artery. Subscapular artery arises from the third part of axillary artery normally and then divides into cir- cumflex scapular artery that extremely enters the triangular space. The other branch of subscapular artery, the thoracodorsal artery, accompanies thracodorsal nerve to lateral border of scapula and supplies and innervates that region. In this case the subscapular artery was absent in both sides and instead of that the circumflex scapular artery was directly derived from axillary artery and the thoracodorsal artery is separated from circumflex scapular artery as a thin and short branch, too. It seemed that the lateral thoracic artery, which was thicker than its normal condition, supplied the muscles of the lateral part of scapula and the thoracodorsal muscle. Other branches of the axillary artery demonstrated without any abnormally. Since axillary artery has the highest rate of rapture and damage coming after the popliteal artery, knowing the variations is important and essential for surgeons, radiologist and anatomist.

description: We present measurements of silicon (Si) metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) nanostructures that are fabricated using a process that facilitates essentially arbitrary gate geometries. Stable Coulomb blockade behavior free from the effects of parasitic dot formation is exhibited in several MOS quantum dots with an open lateral quantum dot geometry. Decreases in mobility and increases in charge defect densities (i.e. interface traps and fixed oxide charge) are measured for critical process steps, and we correlate low disorder behavior with a quantitative defect density. This work provides quantitative guidance that has not been previously established about defect densities for which Si quantum dots do not exhibit parasitic dot formation. These devices make use of a double-layer gate stack in which many regions, including the critical gate oxide, were fabricated in a fully-qualified CMOS facility.

description: Microbial communities react rapidly and specifically to changing environments, indicating distinct microbial fingerprints for a given environmental state. Machine learning with community data predicted the Baltic Sea-detected pollutants glyphosate and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, using the developed R package “phyloseq2ML”. Predictions by Random Forest and Artificial Neural Network were accurate. Relevant taxa were identified. The interpretability of machine learning models was found of particular importance. Microbial communities predicted even minor influencing factors in complex environments.

description: We exploit the unprecedented depth of integral field data from the KMOS Ultra-deep Rotational Velocity Survey (KURVS) to analyse the strong (H$α$) and forbidden ([NII], [SII]) emission line ratios in 22 main-sequence galaxies at $z\approx1.5$. Using the [NII]/H$α$ emission-line ratio we confirm the presence of the stellar mass $-$ gas-phase metallicity relation at this epoch, with galaxies exhibiting on average 0.13$\pm$0.04 dex lower gas-phase metallicity (12+log(O/H)$_{\rm M13}$=8.40$\pm$0.03) for a given stellar mass ($\log_{10}$($M_{\rm *}$[$M_{\odot}$]=10.1$\pm$0.1) than local main-sequence galaxies. We determine the galaxy-integrated [SII] doublet ratio, with a median value of [SII]$λ$6716/$λ$6731=1.26$\pm$0.14 equivalent to an electron density of log$_{10}$($n_{\rm e}$[cm$^{-3}$])=1.95$\pm$0.12. Utilising CANDELS $HST$ multi-band imaging we define the pixel surface-mass and star-formation rate density in each galaxy and spatially resolve the fundamental metallicity relation at $z\approx1.5$, finding an evolution of 0.05$\pm$0.01 dex compared to the local relation. We quantify the intrinsic gas-phase metallicity gradient within the galaxies using the [NII]/H$α$ calibration, finding a median annuli-based gradient of $Δ$Z/$Δ$R=$-$0.015$\pm$0.005 dex kpc$^{-1}$. Finally we examine the azimuthal variations in gas-phase metallicity, which show a negative correlation with the galaxy integrated star-formation rate surface density ($r_{\rm s}$=$-$0.40, $p_{\rm s}$=0.07) but no connection to the galaxies kinematic or morphological properties nor radial variations in stellar mass surface density or star formation rate surface density. This suggests both the radial and azimuthal variations in interstellar medium properties are connected to the galaxy integrated density of recent star formation.

description: We calculate a series of synthetic X-ray spectra from outflows originating from the obscuring torus in active galactic nuclei (AGN). Such modeling includes 2.5D hydrodynamical simulations of an X-ray excited torus wind, including the effects of X-ray heating, ionization, and radiation pressure. 3D radiation transfer calculations are performed in the 3D Sobolev approximation. Synthetic X-ray line spectra and individual profiles of several strong lines are shown at different inclination angles, observing times, and for different characteristics of the torus. Our calculations show that rich synthetic warm absorber spectra from 3D modeling are typically observed at a larger range of inclinations than was previously inferred from simple analysis of the transmitted spectra. In general, our results are supportive of warm absorber models based on the hypothesis of an "X-ray excited funnel flow" and are consistent with characteristics of such flows inferred from observations of warm absorbers from Seyfert 1 galaxies.

description: The current registration is a scoping review project that seeks to obtain a portrait of the literature on mental health among young adults aged 13 to 24 with congenital and childhood-onset physical disabilities. Specifically, scoping review methodologies guided by Arksey and O’Malley, Levac and colleagues, and Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines will be used to better understand 1) what is known about the co-occurrence, impact, and type of mental health problems experienced by youth with childhood-onset physical disabilities and 2) what is known about their access to mental health services. The project will provide insights into the scope and nature of mental health research among youth with physical disabilities such as arthritis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophies and other disabilities primarily affecting mobility. Results will also help to inform recommendations for future research and practice for rehabilitation professionals working with young people experiencing these disabilities, such as occupational therapists.

description: We present a near-infrared extinction study of nine dense cores at evolutionary stages between starless to Class I. Our results show that the density structure of all but one observed cores can be modeled with a single power law rho \propto r^p between ~ 0.2R-R of the cores. The starless cores in our sample show two different types of density structures, one follows p ~ -1.0 and the other follows p ~ -2.5, while the protostellar cores all have p ~ -2.5. The similarity between the prestellar cores with p ~ -2.5 and protostellar cores implies that those prestellar cores could be evolving towards the protostellar stage. The slope of p ~ -2.5 is steeper than that of an singular isothermal sphere, which may be interpreted with the evolutionary model of cores with finite mass.

title: DEVELOPMENT OF A SITE SELECTION TOOL BASED IN LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT (LCA), FOR TIDAL POWER SCHEMES
Creators: name: Kelly, CL
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis discusses the development of a site selection tool for positioning Tidal Stream Generators (TSG) with respect to both the financial and environmental impact that the site selection process has. This is particularly important due to the current commercialisation of the tidal stream industry, which is presently transitioning from testing and refining device designs to fully functioning device deployment and even tidal stream arrays. Tidal power is billed as a green and renewable energy source that has the advantage of being reliable and predictable. However, current site selection techniques typically look purely at the feasibility and the financial elements of a project. The methodology proposed in this thesis combines the results from a typical Technical Feasibility Study (TFS) with a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to account for the Global Warming Potential (GWP) that occurs during the life cycle of a TSG. These results are combined with respect to a user-defined weighting system that will enable the user to weigh the importance of each of these elements. This results in the creation of a novel decision-making support tool for site selection of tidal devices, with both financial and environmental assessment aspects right at its core.

Sarcoglycans in cerebellar cortex: an immunohistochemical study

description: Sarcoglycans are transmembrane glycoproteins which link each others to form the sarcoglycans sub-complex. This protein system plays a key role in fibers stabilization during muscle activity. Sarcoglycans have been mainly studied on muscle tissue but they aren’t muscle specific. In fact, our previous studies have shown that all of sarcoglycans isoforms are also expressed in various non-muscular tissues and in particular in brain where it was known that only ε- and ξ-sarcoglycans were present. We have yet tested α-, β-, γ-, δ- and ε-sarcoglycans in rat’s cerebellar cortex and we have found that each glycoprotein is expressed with an immunofluorescence pattern that was detectable mainly in a single cells layer, probably the Purkinje cells layer. In order to verify if this single cells layer could correspond to Purkinje cells layer, we carried out a double immunofluorescence reaction with α,-β,-γ,-δ,-ε and –ξ sarcoglycans antibody and CAR VIII antibody, a carbonic anhydrases protein which marks the Purkinje cells. Our results have confirmed that the fluorescence pattern of each sarcoglycans was mainly detectable in Purkinje cells and some fluorescences pattern is also detectable in molecular layer. We have not found sarcoglycans positivity in granular cells layer. Moreover we have found that, in cerebellar cortex, sarcoglycans present a double type of staining pattern: the first one is a “spot-like” staining pattern, detectable around the cellular soma; the second one is a  linear staining pattern, detectable on the cellular extension. These results suggest us that in the soma of the Purkinje cells, sarcoglycans may play a role in cellular signalling, regulating the assembly of post-synaptic receptor. We think that sarcoglycans may be associated with inhibitory GABAA Rε receptors. It is therefore possible that the linear fluorescence present in some cellular extension could correspond to some interneurons with inhibitory activity.

description: Psoriasis is the most common immune-mediated skin disease worldwide, with an estimated incidence of about 2%. It is characterized by erythematous scaly plaques and its pathogenesis is mostly due to an interplay among epidermal cells, immunocompetent cells, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Previous studies on psoriatic skin demonstrated delayed terminal differentiation, keratinocyte hyperproliferation, and abnormal occludin expression in tight junctions. However, evidences about desmosomal cadherin distribution in psoriatic patients are not available so far, and only scattered studies have been carried out on adherens junctions. In psoriasis, Tumor Necrosis Factor- alpha (TNF-alpha) plays a central role, strongly supporting the treatment with anti-TNF-alpha agents, but the effects of these agents on epidermal intercellular adhesion, terminal differentiation, and proliferation have still to be elucidated. In this preliminary study, we investigated by immunofluorescence the expression of transmembrane proteins in tight junctions (occludin), adherens junctions (E-cadherin), and desmosomes (desmocollin-1 and desmoglein-1) in normal (N=5) and psoriatic skin before/after treatment with anti-TNF-alpha agents (N=5). Differentiation biomarkers (keratin-10, keratin-14, and involucrin) and epithelial proliferation were also evaluated. In psoriatic epidermis occludin, keratin-14, and involucrin were expressed also in the spinous layer, differently from controls. Desmoglein-1, desmocollin-1, E-cadherin, and keratin-10 localizations were comparable in psoriatic and healthy subjects. Moreover, in all considered patients the hyperproliferative condition was accompanied by an unusual suprabasal distribution of replicating keratinocytes. Interestingly, the distribution pattern of all considered biomarkers of intercellular adhesion and terminal differentiation was reverted to the physiological condition upon treatment with anti-TNF-alpha agents. What’s more, the proliferative rate registered in anti-TNF-alpha treated patients was reduced and similar to controls, even though scattered suprabasal dividing cells were still present. Our results highlight that anti-TNF-alpha biologicals, next to their proven inhibitory action on the cytokinic pathway, are effective in restoring an efficient junctional apparatus, a more differentiated phenotype, and the typical proliferation rate in the epidermis of psoriatic patients.

description: Wolframin, a transmembrane glycoprotein of endoplasmic reticulum consisting of 890 amino acids, is encoded by the WFS1 gene, mutated in the Wolfram syndrome. This pathology, also called DIDMOAD, is an autosomal recessive disorder defined by the association of diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and further organ abnormalities. To gain further insight into the pathogenesis of diseases associated with WFS1 mutations, we conducted an immunohistochemical study to investigate its pattern of expression in human female reproductive tract in physiologic and pathologic conditions. For this purpose, samples of physiologic and pathologic endometrium, samples of placenta throughout pregnancy in normal and diabetic pregnant women, were used. In physiologic endometrium, we observed a light increase of wolframin from proliferative to secretory phase where wolframin was localized in the glands, stroma and cells lining blood vessels. In menopause, wolframin expression increased with a glandular and stromal localization. In pathologic endometrium, we observed an increase of wolframin expression from hyperplasia to polyps until a higher expression in carcinoma tissues. In normal placenta there was a modulation of wolframin throughout pregnancy with a strong level of expression during the first trimester and a moderate level in the third trimester. In diabetic women, the wolframin expression was strongly reduced in the third trimester of gestation. In human endometrium, wolframin seems to have a role in differentiation program. Deregulation of these functions may induce the onset of several endometrial pathologies. Moreover, in normal placenta wolframin may be required to sustain normal rates of cytotrophoblast cell proliferation during the first trimester of gestation. The decrease of wolframin expression in diabetic placentae may hypothesize that this protein is directly regulated by insulin concentration also in the placenta, suggesting that this protein physiologically maintain the glucose homeostasis in this organ.

description: In this paper, a critical inscription is made about women in space, based on four fundamental works by Roberto Bolaño —Los detectives salvajes (1998), Amuleto (1999), Putas asesinas (2001) and 2666 (2003) —, in these analyze the concepts of space of reality and time that are presented in the literary narrative. Prior to the perspective offered by Roberto Bolaño is the vision of the german philosopher Peter Sloterdijk, who reflects on spatial worldly relations and circumstances through the concept of posthumanism. The objective is to reconstruct the criticism of the literary city and trace the possible horizons through a philosophical interpretation around the exposure of the feminine icons; that is, the voice of women at the time of the industrial city that explodes in Gore Capitalism, proposed by Sayak Valencia, ramifications with intimacy, violence and urban contours in necrosis. Something comparable in geometry with graceful and simple figures such as circles, and in this case the sphere. Those voices that a priori are lost among the immensity of capitalism, male oppression, and are constricted with the feeling of emptiness. The emptiness of the spheres that roll without stopping through the words that others narrate in a changing world. In this work we will proceed to contrast that association between the feminine voice and the simplest and most complex bolañian geometry: the dyadic and the Gore space.
Light curve analysis of Variable stars using Fourier decomposition and Principal component analysis

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Aims: We show the use of principal component analysis (PCA) and Fourier decomposition (FD) method as tools for variable star diagnostics and compare their relative performance in studying the changes in the light curve structures of pulsating Cepheids and in the classification of variable stars. Methods: We have calculated the Fourier parameters of 17,606 light curves of a variety of variables, e.g., RR Lyraes, Cepheids, Mira Variables and extrinsic variables for our analysis. We have also performed PCA on the same database of light curves. The inputs to the PCA are the 100 values of the magnitudes for each of these 17,606 light curves in the database interpolated between phase 0 to 1. Unlike some previous studies, Fourier coefficients are not used as input to the PCA. Results: We show that in general, the first few principal components (PCs) are enough to reconstruct the original light curves compared to FD method where 2 to 3 times more number of parameters are required to satisfactorily reconstruct the light curves. The computation of required number of Fourier parameters on the average needs 20 times more CPU time than the computation of required number of PCs. Therefore, PCA does have some advantage over the FD method in analysing the variable stars in a larger database. However in some cases, particularly in finding the resonances in Fundamental mode (FU) Cepheids, the PCA results show no distinct advantages over the FD method. We also demonstrate that the PCA technique can be used to classify variables into different variability classes in an automated, unsupervised way, a feature that has immense potential for larger databases of the future.
