description: We study the inhomogeneity of the electronic pairing gap observed by STM near the surface of Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+δ}$ to be correlated with interstitial O defects. We treat the problem in a slave boson mean field theory of a disordered $t-t^{\prime}-J$ model, and identify three aspects of the O defects related to the inhomogeneity: (1)the superexchange interaction is locally enhanced in their vicinity, which enhances the local pairing gap and reduces the coherence peak; (2)they donate holes into CuO$_2$ plane, which reduces the spinon density of states of and hence the average gap at large doping; (3)holes are locally attracted to the vicinity of oxygen defects, which causes impurity bound state and further reduces the coherence peak. The interplay of these mechanisms explains simultaneously the locally enhanced pairing gap around oxygen defects, and the reduction of average gap as increasing oxygen concentration.

description: Parasitic nematodes present a current and devastating global problem, infecting billions of people, and causing huge production losses in both crops and livestock. There are a limited number of anthelmintic drugs available to treat these infections, and resistance has arisen quickly and spread across the globe. Xenobiotic metabolism is a well-known mechanism of drug resistance in insects, and evidence suggests it may also play a role in the development of drug resistance in parasitic nematodes. Identifying candidate enzymes in the free-living nematodes may help to understand or combat the rising resistance crisis in the parasites. However, identifying many of the protein sequences that may be involved in xenobiotic metabolism can prove challenging due to high sequence divergence and draft quality genome assemblies. This work focuses on novel software to detect hard-to-find genes, as well as methods of performing comparative phylogenetic analyses, both between species and within a population. In the absence of specific selective pressures, the phylogeny of a multi-species gene family will tend to agree with the underlying species tree. Conversely, adaptive evolution tends to manifest as incongruence in the gene tree as well as lineage-specific expansions and contractions. These properties, collectively termed phylogenetic instability, have been found to be good predictors of proteins that directly interact with the environment. I have developed an algorithm to quantify phylogenetic instability in a gene tree, and show that it correlates exceptionally well with the known substrate specificity of human cytochrome P450 enzymes. I then apply this technique to five detoxification gene families (cyp, fmo, sdr, ugt, gst) from five free-living nematode species (Caenorhabditis elegans, C. briggsae, C. brenneri, C. remanei, and Pristionchus pacificus). These gene families are known to act on both endogenous and xenobiotic molecules, and these new methods allow me to predict which are likely involved in xenobiotic metabolism. This will aid in the study of these enzymes, including their orthologs in the parasitic species.

description: In this thesis I will define and investigate a phenomenon called Birkeland current boundary flows (BCBF). These narrow regions of intense ion flow mark the boundary between upward and downward field aligned current in the auroral ionosphere. I use measurements of electric and magnetic field, ion temperature, plasma density, and electron temperature from the Swarm satellites to characterize the plasma surrounding these events. Ground-based magnetic field and optical measurements coincident with Swarm measurements of BCBF provide large-scale context for my observations with respect to the auroral electrojets and the optical aurora respectively. In a series of three papers, I will present first observations of BCBF, establish the morphology and significance of the phenomenon near midnight, and contrast BCBF with a similar phenomenon, subauroral ion drifts. While large electric fields have been previously reported in the auroral zone, often associated either with auroral precipitation or the auroral electrojets, the studies in this thesis first show BCBF to be a ubiquitous and persistent characteristic of auroral ionospheric current closure near midnight.

Effects of the solid tumour microenvironment on the penetration and distribution of trastuzumab
Creators: name: Sy, Jonathan Tiu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The abnormal development of the solid tumour microenvironment may result in populations of tumour cells that receive sub-optimal drug exposure and as a consequence experience diminished efficacy of treatment. Antibody-based therapies may face additional limitations from their inherent molecular size and antigen binding specificity. Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets the HER2 receptor, has been shown to have incomplete distribution in HER2 over-expressing tumour xenografts. The objective of this research was to examine the roles of various tumour microenvironment components, namely pericytes and epithelial tight junctions, in modulating extravasation of trastuzumab and its distribution throughout the tumour. To examine pericyte coverage, tumour bearing mice were administered imatinib to reduce pericyte recruitment. Fluorescent microscopy was used to assess blood vessel changes and directly visualized the effects these changes had on systemically administered trastuzumab. Imatinib treatment resulted in increased necrosis, decreased microvessel density and pericyte staining, and a reduction in the fraction of blood vessels in close proximity to pericytes. Interestingly, trastuzumab distribution became significantly reduced in imatinib treated tumours and blood vessel analysis revealed vessels possessing pericyte coverage to have considerably greater trastuzumab penetration. These results indicate that combinations of imatinib prior to trastuzumab dosing may not be optimal for purposes of increased drug distribution. However, the degree of pericyte coverage may contribute to the heterogeneous distribution of trastuzumab. To investigate the role of epithelial tight junctions (TJ), MCF7HER² multilayered cell cultures (MCC) were exposed to trastuzumab and bound antibody was visualized by immunohistochemistry. Trastuzumab was found to penetrate effectively from the “basolateral” side of the MCC attached to the anchoring membrane, whereas penetration into the apical, or “luminal,” cell layer was limited to the outermost row of cells even after prolonged exposure. Transmission EM revealed confluent TJ in the luminal cell layer and immunohistochemical staining of the peripheral TJ marker ZO-1 revealed positive staining in a continuous band along the luminal cell layer that was consistent with the localization of bound trastuzumab. Taken together, these data suggest that abnormal pericyte coverage and TJ localization are obstacles in the tumour microenvironment preventing the effective distribution of anti-cancer agents such as trastuzumab.

Model for the Production of CO Cameron band emission in Comet 1P/Halley

description: The abundance of CO2 in comets has been derived using CO Cameron band (a3pi --> X1Sigma+) emission assuming that photodissociative excitation of CO2 is the main production process of CO(a3pi). On comet 1P/Halley the Cameron (1-0) band has been observed by International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) on several days in March 1986. A coupled chemistry-emission model is developed for comet 1P/Halley to assess the importance of various production and loss mechanisms of CO(a3pi) and to calculate the intensity of Cameron band emission on different days of IUE observation. Two different solar EUV flux models, EUVAC of Richards et al. (1994) and SOLAR2000 of Tobiska (2004), and different relative abundances of CO and CO2, are used to evaluate the role of photon and photoelectron in producing CO molecule in a3pi state in the cometary coma. It is found that in comet 1P/Halley 60--70% of the total intensity of the Cameron band emission is contributed by electron impact excitation of CO and CO2, while the contribution from photodissociative excitation of CO2 is small (20--30%). Thus, in the comets where CO and CO2 relative abundances are comparable, the Cameron band emission is largely governed by electron impact excitation of CO, and not by the photodissociative excitation of CO2 as assumed earlier. Model calculated Cameron band 1-0 emission intensity (40 R) is consistent with the observed IUE slit-averaged brightness (37 +/- 6 R) using EUVAC model solar flux on 13 March 1986, and also on other days of observations. Since electron impact excitation is the major production mechanism, the Cameron emission can be used to derive photoelectron density in the inner coma rather than the CO2 abundance.

Among the resulting pseudo-Goldstone bosons are those that can have diquark quantum numbers. We describe the variety of diquarks and their decay modes, and we find aspects that are particular to the fourth family framework. Spectacular signatures at the LHC appear and are explored for color sextet diquarks with 600 GeV mass. We consider a simple search strategy which avoids diquark reconstruction. We also consider 350 GeV mass diquarks that are accessible at the Tevatron.

description: The level of rotational patient setup error needed to impact stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatments is not well defined. The purpose of this study was to explore potential rotational setup error thresholds for SRS treatments of brain metastases. The groups analyzed in this study consisted of either single isocentric targets or multiple nonisocentric targets. Rotations between 0.5° and 7° were simulated, and the percent of the target volume that received the prescription dose (Vp) was compared between the original plans and rotation simulations to determine what degree of rotations would cause notable Vp loss. The results suggest that a rotational patient setup error threshold of 2° around all axes for treatments of single isocentric targets is conservative. For treatments of multiple nonisocentric targets, especially those that are far from the treatment isocenter, the rotational setup error threshold may need to be as low as or lower than 0.5°.

description: The treatment of tailings water, a major environmental challenge facing the oil sands industry is explored in this research. The focus was on the removal of very fine solids, a very difficult to treat contaminant in tailings water. Electrocoagulation, an electrochemical method of water treatment was tested to assess the performance in removal of fines. Synthetic wastewater samples with kaolin clay dispersed was used as a model. Different electrochemical reactor designs were tested to assess the contaminants removal performance. The results show that electrocoagulation is very effective at removal of fines. Turbidity removals of over 95 % were achieved in 20 minutes settling time versus a control experiment that achieved removals of only 10% for the same settling time.

description: Modern multi core architectures and parallel applications pose a significant challenge to the worst-case centric real-time system verification and design efforts. The involved model and parameter uncertainty contest the fidelity of formal real-time analyses, which are mostly based on exact model assumptions. In this dissertation, various approaches that can accept parameter and model uncertainty are presented. In an attempt to improve predictability in worst-case centric analyses, the exploration of timing predictable protocols are examined for parallel task scheduling on multiprocessors and network-on-chip arbitration. A novel scheduling algorithm, called stationary rigid gang scheduling, for gang tasks on multiprocessors is proposed. In regard to fixed-priority wormhole-switched network-on-chips, a more restrictive family of transmission protocols called simultaneous progression switching protocols is proposed with predictability enhancing properties. Moreover, hierarchical scheduling for parallel DAG tasks under parameter uncertainty is studied to achieve temporal- and spatial isolation. Fault-tolerance as a supplementary reliability aspect of real-time systems is examined, in spite of dynamic external causes of fault. Using various job variants, which trade off increased execution time demand with increased error protection, a state-based policy selection strategy is proposed, which provably assures an acceptable quality-of-service (QoS). Lastly, the temporal misalignment of sensor data in sensor fusion applications in cyber-physical systems is examined. A modular analysis based on minimal properties to obtain an upper-bound for the maximal sensor data time-stamp difference is proposed.

description: A Josephson phase shift can be induced in a Josephson junction by a strategically nearby pinned Abrikosov vortex (AV). For an asymmetric distribution of imprinted phase along the junction (controlled by the position of the AV) such a simple system is capable of rectification of $ac$ current in a broad and tunable frequency range. The resulting rectified voltage is a consequence of the directed motion of a Josephson antivortex which forms a pair with the AV when at local equilibrium. The proposed realization of the ratchet potential by imprinted phase is more efficient than the asymmetric geometry of the junction itself, it is easily realizable experimentally, and provides rectification even in the absence of applied magnetic field.

description: ’High-sensitivity’ cardiac troponin assays are now the standard in human cardiology, but validation and exercise-kinetics in horses have not been investigated. Objectives: Appropriately validate the hscTnT assay for use in horses, establish reference intervals, determine biological variation, explore race-induced hscTnT release kinetics, provide clinical sampling guidelines, and create model for sub-clinical cardiomyopathy. Methods/Results: Analytical performance of the assay in horses is verified. Reference intervals: upper 95th and 99th percentile of the hscTnT population distribution were 6.8 and 16.2ng/L in Non-Competition Horses, and 14.0 and 23.2ng/L in Racing-Thoroughbreds. Biological variation not appreciated due to number of horses below assay detection level. Racing-exercise caused peak hscTnT levels at 2-6h post-race, may approach 99th percentile URL, but declined by 12-24h. Clinician guidelines: normal horses should have declining levels by 12-24h and single values during this time-period should be <99th percentile URL:23.2ng/L. Occult sodium monensin cardiomyopathy model induced hscTnT elevations and ultrastructural cardiac changes.

description: Natural selection for bipedal locomotion and encephalization creates an obstetric dilemma. Consequently, a trade-off occurs between human brain size, locomotory efficiency, and the increased risk of maternal and infant mortality from obstructed labour. The Maasai of Northern Tanzania, attempt to ease the obstetric dilemma by manipulating fetal growth. However, due to the tendency for growth restricted newborns to exhibit brain sparing, these maternal practices would have to achieve corresponding head and body size reductions. To determine the efficacy of this cultural adaptation to the obstetric dilemma, we interviewed traditional birth attendants and mothers about their maternal practices. Maternal diet was measured, and infant anthropometric data were collected on 141 maternal-infant pairs. Participants reported a 50% reduction in dietary intake. Of the 141 infant participants, 36 (25%) were growth restricted. The brain sparing tendency was observed among the growth restricted sample, suggesting that maternal dietary restriction does not overcome the obstetric dilemma.

A Technique for Foreground Subtraction in Redshifted 21 cm Observations

description: One of the main challenges for future 21 cm observations is to remove foregrounds which are several orders of magnitude more intense than the HI signal. We propose a new technique for removing foregrounds of the redshifted 21 cm observations. We consider multi-frequency interferometer observations. We assume that the 21 cm signals in different frequency channels are uncorrelated and the foreground signals change slowly as a function of frequency. When we add the visibilities of all channels, the foreground signals increase roughly by a factor of ~N because they are highly correlated. However, the 21 cm signals increase by a factor of ~\sqrt{N} because the signals in different channels contribute randomly. This enables us to obtain an accurate shape of the foreground angular power spectrum. Then, we obtain the 21-cm power spectrum by subtracting the foreground power spectrum obtained this way. We describe how to obtain the average power spectrum of the 21 cm signal.

Adaptive nonlinear optimization of district heating networks based on model and discretization catalogs

description: We propose an adaptive optimization algorithm for operating district heating networks in a stationary regime. The behavior of hot water flow in the pipe network is modeled using the incompressible Euler equations and a suitably chosen energy equation. By applying different simplifications to these equations, we derive a catalog of models. Our algorithm is based on this catalog and adaptively controls where in the network which model is used. Moreover, the granularity of the applied discretization is controlled in a similar adaptive manner. By doing so, we are able to obtain optimal solutions at low computational costs that satisfy a prescribed tolerance w.r.t. the most accurate modeling level. To adaptively control the switching between different levels and the adaptation of the discretization grids, we derive error measure formulas and a posteriori error measure estimators. Under reasonable assumptions we prove that the adaptive algorithm terminates after finitely many iterations. Our numerical results show that the algorithm is able to produce solutions for problem instances that have not been solvable before.
Neutrophil SHIP1 and PTEN Deficiency and Response to Sterile Injury

description: Neutrophils are the primary effector cells of the innate immune response. These highly motile cells rapidly move to sites of infection and injury where they eradicate pathogens and/or remove and restructure damaged tissues. The recruitment and activity of these cells must be tightly regulated because they have the potential to induce severe tissue damage with their potent effector functions. In an in vitro model of sterile injury, where no pathogens are present, we have identified a potential non-formylated peptide released from necrotic cells that attracts neutrophils to a site of injury via the chemotaxis-inducing G-protein coupled formyl peptide receptor 1. This as-of-yet unidentified ligand was not sensitive to enzymatic deformylation. In competitive chemotaxis assays, this signal from disrupted cells acts as an “end-target” chemoattractant, causing neutrophils to ignore competing gradients of the endogenous chemokine interleukin-8, and move precisely to a site of injury. Additionally, we have investigated the role of two lipid phosphatases, SHIP1 and PTEN, in neutrophil behavior. These two phosphatases antagonize phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase signaling, which is one of the main signaling pathways involved in controlling neutrophil chemotaxis. Using a targetable loxP/Cre recombinase gene excision system in the mouse, we have, for the first time, simultaneously depleted both these phosphatases in neutrophils. In contrast to mice in which neutrophils lack either one or the other, and have little outwardly apparent abnormalities, the resulting double deficient animals had a severe phenotype. These animals exhibited hematopoietic disturbances characterized by an increased proliferative capacity in populations of immature neutrophils, with an enhanced recruitment of neutrophils and, in certain cases other cells such macrophages, to solid organs such as the liver, spleen, brain, lungs. They displayed pronounced hepatomegaly and splenomegaly, occasional neurological disturbances, organ dysfunction, and typically expired at less than four weeks of age. Analysis of neutrophil behavior in very young animals revealed decreased chemotactic function in vivo in the liver. In vitro analyses revealed chemotactic impairments towards certain cues, coupled with increased numbers of cells responding to single gradients of chemoattractants. These studies provide critical insight into the role of SHIP1 and PTEN in neutrophil function, development, and homeostasis.

description: In archaeology, it is useful to document the shape of features of interest. There are many three-dimensional measurement technologies available that can help accomplish this task. An error model for a handheld 3D scanner called the DPI-7 was created. This error model reduced the errors in the in-plane directions by up to 59%. The levels of precision in two technologies, terrestrial laser scanning and computer vision assisted photogrammetry, were determined through the simulation of observations in a virtual environment. It was found that terrestrial laser scanning point observations had a standard deviation (in the direction of least precision) of 6mm, while photogrammetry could achieve a value of 10mm. The point cloud data from the scans of an excavation in the Canadian arctic were used to create a detailed and coloured visual model of the site, and was subsequently used in a virtual reality visualization of the site in question.

description: A variational formulation is given for a theory of gravity coupled to a massive vector in four dimensions, with Asymptotically Lifshitz boundary conditions on the fields. For theories with critical exponent z=2 we obtain a well-defined variational principle by explicitly constructing two actions with local boundary counterterms. As part of our analysis we obtain solutions of these theories on a neighborhood of spatial infinity, study the asymptotic symmetries, and consider different definitions of the boundary stress tensor and associated charges. A constraint on the boundary data for the fields figures prominently in one of our formulations, and in that case the only suitable definition of the boundary stress tensor is due to Hollands, Ishibashi, and Marolf. Their definition naturally emerges from our requirement of finiteness of the action under Hamilton-Jacobi variations of the fields. A second, more general variational principle also allows the Brown-York definition of a boundary stress tensor.

description: Numerical simulations of solid particles seeded into a supersonic flow containing an oblique shockwave reflection were performed in order to observe and understand the momentum transfer effects between solid and gas phases in shock-wave / boundary layer interaction. Particle size and mass loading were varied to study the problem. It was found that solid particles were capable of significant modulation of the flow field as the separation bubble was suppressed primarily by the additional momentum introduced by the particles into the flow field. The particle size controlled the rate of momentum transfer while the particle mass loading controlled the magnitude of momentum transfer. As particles are seeded into the flow, a flow transition to unsteady, three-dimensional flow is observed in the simulations. The seeding of micro and nano-particle upstream of a supersonic air-breathing propulsion system as a flow control concept is proposed.
