description: The marine environment of areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) is complex, interconnected, and vulnerable to a multitude of threats from human activities, both on land and in water. The broad scope of environmental obligations established by the legal and normative frameworks that operate in marine ABNJ is one of their greatest strengths, but there remain significant gaps and weaknesses that need to be addressed. There has been increased interest in strategic environmental assessment (SEA) as one way to respond to the need for improved environmental governance. The central aim of SEA is the integration of environmental considerations into strategic-level decisions. Its use in marine ABNJ can help to uphold mandates established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and international environmental law. However, its application at an international level is underdeveloped and lacks cohesiveness. Developing a comprehensive SEA for marine ABNJ will require a strong understanding of the normative and institutional characteristics of a multifaceted decision-making context, as well as an understanding of SEA itself. This thesis begins with a doctrinal analysis of the current international legal framework governing marine ABNJ, with special attention on the elements that relate to the use of SEA. A study of SEA as a “family of approaches” is used to underscore its benefits and the importance of context in shaping the contours of SEA practice. The status of SEA in international law is also assessed, along with its relationship with due diligence and the principles of integration and interrelationship. These discussions contribute to an examination of what will define the contours of SEA form and content in marine ABNJ. This thesis concludes that, while the specifics of SEA practice will require further elaboration, at the heart of SEA exists both a legal foundation for its inclusion in international law as an obligation for marine ABNJ and the potential for it to promote more than just environmental protection, but also a more cohesive approach to the environmental governance of marine ABNJ as a whole.
Sconfinamenti tra generi nella narrativa spagnola tra Otto e Novecento: alcuni esempi

description: La prefazione è un elemento paratestuale ricco di contraddizioni, paradossi e tranelli per il lettore. Un caso interessante è quello delle prefazioni che fanno parte integrante del gioco finzionale, come quelle anteposte alle false scritture autobiografiche, molto praticate nella Spagna tra Otto e Novecento. Qui l’autore lancia la sua sfida al lettore fingendo un’identità altra o mascherandosi e mettendo in pratica degli sconfinamenti tra generi. L’articolo propone l’analisi delle prefazioni autoriali e/o fittiziamente autoriali presenti in quattro opere narrative scritte tra la seconda metà dell’Ottocento e il Novecento (Mariquita y Antonio e Pepita Jiménez di Juan Valera, Jusep Torres Campalans di Max Aub e Quizá nos lleve el viento al infinito di Gonzalo Torrente Ballester), che si rivelano delle ingegnose, ambigue e complesse trappole argomentative.

description: Sparse Bayesian factor models are routinely implemented for parsimonious dependence modeling and dimensionality reduction in high-dimensional applications. We provide theoretical understanding of such Bayesian procedures in terms of posterior convergence rates in inferring high-dimensional covariance matrices where the dimension can be larger than the sample size. Under relevant sparsity assumptions on the true covariance matrix, we show that commonly-used point mass mixture priors on the factor loadings lead to consistent estimation in the operator norm even when $p\gg n$. One of our major contributions is to develop a new class of continuous shrinkage priors and provide insights into their concentration around sparse vectors. Using such priors for the factor loadings, we obtain similar rate of convergence as obtained with point mass mixture priors. To obtain the convergence rates, we construct test functions to separate points in the space of high-dimensional covariance matrices using insights from random matrix theory; the tools developed may be of independent interest. We also derive minimax rates and show that the Bayesian posterior rates of convergence coincide with the minimax rates upto a $\sqrt{\log n}$ term.

description: Micro-sieving is an effective way to prevent organic pollutants enter the main biological process and reduce aeration intensity and sludge production. However, few researchers quantify the effect of the micro-sieving on meat processing wastewater treatment. The current study developed Excel-based models to compare energy consumption and production of historical, conventional, and innovative systems. Historical and conventional systems employ activated sludge (AS), nitrification and denitrification as the biological process. The innovative system was designed by using up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and partial nitrification/Anammox (PN/A). Results shows that the CH4/O2 energy ratios of innovative treatment system are as high as ten times of historical and conventional systems. As a result, innovative system can achieve electrical self-sufficiency. Micro-sieving could save 5% of oxygen demand and increase 1% of CH4/O2 energy ratio in innovative system. Furthermore, the impact of micro-sieving on the innovative treatment train is assessed by cost benefit analysis. System with micro-sieving has the shortest payback time of 2.1 years and reduce cost of the innovative treatment train. The excel-based model quantified the impact of micro-sieving on energy and cost of innovative treatment train, thereby providing a valuable reference for future sustainable wastewater treatment design.
Catalyst recycle in slurry-phase residue upgrading
Creators: name: Rezaei, Hooman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The application of slurry-phase hydroconversion to upgrade residue oil derived from the Canadian oilsands (CLVR) is hindered by the cost of the catalyst, in part because the catalyst is used once-through before being discarded as part of the solid product (coke). The goal of the present study was to assess the potential of recycling the slurry-phase catalyst under high residue conversion conditions and to identify the cause of catalyst deactivation during catalyst recycle. Catalyst screening in a batch reactor operated at 415 °C and 5.6 MPa initial H₂ pressure with CLVR as reactant, showed that MoS₂ prepared in reversed micelles was most active for coke suppression and liquid yield among a series of Fe- and Mo-based catalysts. Furthermore, MoS₂ derived from Mo-micelle and Mo-octoate precursors had equivalent coke yields, but were more active for coke suppression than a water-soluble ammonium heptamolybdate precursor, as measured in a semi-batch reactor under more severe hydroconversion conditions (T = 445 °C and H₂ pressure of 13.8 MPa and 900 mL(STP)/min). MoS₂ prepared using Mo-micelle and Mo-octoate precursors over a range of Mo concentrations (0 – 1800 ppm) were recycled in the semi-batch reactor to assess the activity of the recycled catalyst in terms of coke suppresion and selectivity toward different products. The MoS₂ catalyst remained active for up to 4 reaction cycles, depending on the initial concentration of Mo added to the reactor. Characterization of the coke and catalyst recovered after each recycling step showed that the coke associated with the catalyst undergoes significant chemical and morphological changes during recycle and these changes result in deactivation of the catalyst. A conceptual model of the catalyst deactivation mechanism based on the characterization results was developed and ex-situ simulation of catalyst aging validated the proposed deactivation mechanism in the semi-batch slurry-phase upgrading reactor. Finally, a kinetic model of the CLVR hydroconversion reactions was developed that included the consumption and production of coke as an important step in the overall kinetic scheme.

description: Peptides play a vital role in nature as they engage in many complex interactions which include forming proteins and binding with other biomolecules. The interactions between peptide and various biomolecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and enzymes, have been well-studied as they guide many processes in the human body. However, peptide interactions with solid surfaces are not well understood. This work explores the binding of peptides to the surfaces of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. MSU crystals accumulate in the joints of patients with acute gout, one of several types of crystal arthropathy. Other arthritides, including pseudo-gout and osteoarthritis, present similar symptoms to gout, but are characterised by accumulation of calcium pyrophosphate and hydroxyapatite crystals respectively. Misdiagnosis between these diseases when using current methods of crystal analysis. This thesis aimed to produce a fluorescent, peptide-based biosensor with specific binding to MSU crystals for the purpose of future development of a more accurate and efficient method for diagnosing gout. This was accomplished by first analysing data provided by characterising the MSU surface, peptide binding interactions, and proposing optimal peptide sequence candidates through computational analysis. Methods were then developed to synthesise, fluorescently label, and purify the peptide candidates. Analytical methods, including RP-HPLC-UV, fluorescence spectrometry, and CD polarimetry, were employed to investigate the peptide’s binding affinities, fluorescent activity, and secondary structure. Finally, fluorescence microscopy images of the MSU-bound fluorescent peptides were analysed to compare relative binding of different peptide sequences to MSU crystals. Ultimately, this work was successful in identifying and synthesising fluorescent peptides that display strong, uniform binding to MSU crystals and enhance detection of the crystals via fluorescence microscopy. The findings of this thesis could be used in further studies to potentially develop an effective, peptide-based biosensor for gout.
An Efficient Cooperation between Routing and Placement with Technology Node Constraints

description: Traditionally, the placement and routing stages of the physical design are performed separately. However, because of the additional complexities arising in advanced technology nodes, they have become more interdependent. As a result, finding ways to improve the cooperation between routing and placement has become an important topic in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). In this thesis, a framework that incorporates cooperation between routing and placement with the existence of technology node constraints is proposed and developed. The core of this framework is Cooperation Routing and Placement (CRP) engine, which includes techniques to combine routing and placement. The proposed engine is tested on the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD) 2018 and 2019 contest benchmarks. In the proposed engine, to generate candidate placements, an Integer Linear Programming (ILP)-based Detailed Placement (ILP-DP) engine is developed, that can generate multiple high-quality legalized positions for each cell. Also, due to the complexity of routing topology with technology node constraints, a net classification technique is used to route nets according to net characteristics. Two routing algorithms including AStar and PatternRoute are used to route and estimate the cost of each cell's movement. In addition to that, since runtime is one of the main challenges in the cooperation between routing and placement, two caching techniques called Cost and Net caching are proposed. Thanks to the Cost caching technique, the global routing runtime compared with state-of-the-art improved by 28.56% on average. Also, by using the Net caching technique a parallel approach is developed that speedup 2.6 times compared to a sequential approach. Numerical results show that the proposed framework by moving 0.7% of cells can improve the detailed routing score by 0.3% on average in the presence of technology node constraints. The proposed engine also shows how only improving single objective wirelength estimation techniques like Half-Perimeter WireLength (HPWL) in the placement step can degrade the quality of the detailed routing solution. This shows the importance of using 3D routing feedback during the placement. The proposed engine can be employed as an add-on to the physical design flow between the global routing and detailed routing steps to improve the quality of the detailed routing solution.

description: The loss of coherence is one of the main obstacles for the implementation of quantum information processing. The efficiency of dynamical decoupling schemes, which have been introduced to address this problem, is limited itself by the fluctuations in the driving fields which will themselves introduce noise. We address this challenge by introducing the concept of concatenated continuous dynamical decoupling, which can overcome not only external magnetic noise but also noise due to fluctuations in driving fields. We show theoretically that this approach can achieve relaxation limited coherence times, and demonstrate experimentally that already the most basic implementation of this concept yields an order of magnitude improvement of the decoherence time for the electron spin of nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond. The proposed scheme can be applied to a wide variety of other physical systems including, trapped atoms and ions, quantum dots, and may be combined with other quantum technologies challenges such as quantum sensing and quantum information processing.

Clinical Epidemiology and Precision Diagnostics for a Regionwide Cohort of Bloodstream Infections

description: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) pose considerable morbidity for patients including progression to septic shock, a life-compromising disease with 30% mortality rate at 30 days from the onset of infection. During my MSc, I have advanced the idea of Precision Infection Management (PIM) as a novel treatment strategy that accounts for microbial virulence alongside host factors for improving mortality rates from BSIs. To lay the foundation for PIM, I conducted two investigations on a 14-year BSI cohort obtained from the Calgary Health Zone. My first objective was to systematically assess the impact of growing antimicrobial resistance on patient mortality trends. I uncovered increasing resistance rates across multiple first-line drugs, including E. coli resistance for ceftriaxone (binomial test p < 0.05). Despite this, E. coli mortality rates remained remarkably stable through the study period (linear model R2 = 0.2). While encouraging, 30-day mortality rates were worryingly high for some species, trending upwards of 30%, furthering a need for the PIM clinical strategy for reducing burden of disease. To address this, I identified microbial virulence factors that could be tested for in the diagnosis of BSIs. I leveraged a cohort of >600 E. faecium isolates and linked microbial proteomic profiles with patient 30-day mortality using Cox proportional hazard and log-rank tests. I identified arcB_1 expression as being significantly associated with 5035 days decreased survival through a 30-day window (adjusted log rank p = 0.0078). While preliminary, this finding is an exciting proof of principle for PIM and implicates virulence-directed therapy as a feasible and promising new treatment avenue that could reduce 30-day mortality.
Heavy Higgs at Tevatron and LHC in Universal Extra Dimension Models

description: Universal Extra Dimension (UED) models tend to favor a distinctively heavier Higgs mass than in the Standard Model (SM) and its supersymmetric extensions when the Kaluza-Klein (KK) scale is not much higher than the electroweak one, which we call the weak scale UED, in order to cancel the KK top contributions to the T-parameter. Such a heavy Higgs, whose production through the gluon fusion process is enhanced by the KK top loops, is fairly model independent prediction of the weak scale UED models regardless of the brane-localized mass structure at the ultraviolet cutoff scale. We study its cleanest possible signature, the Higgs decay into a Z boson pair and subsequently into four electrons and/or muons, in which all the four-momenta of the final states can be measured and both the Z boson masses can be checked. We show that the weak scale UED model may account for the 2sigma excess of this event at ATLAS at the ZZ pair invariant mass around 250GeV, at which scale SM background is sufficiently small and the SM Higgs predicts too few events. We have also studied the Higgs mass 500GeV (and also 700GeV with \sqrt{s}=14TeV) and have found that we can observe significant resonance with the integrated luminosity 10fb^{-1} for six dimensional UED models.

description: We study dynamical partially localized brane solutions in higher dimensions. We give new descriptions of the relevant solutions of dynamical branes which are localized along both the overall and relative transverse directions. The starting point is a system of p_r-branes ending on a p_s-brane with a time-dependent warp factor. This system can be related to Dp_r-Dp_s brane system in string theory, where one brane is localized at the delocalized other brane. We then show that these give Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker cosmological solutions. Our approach leads to a new and manifest description of the brane configurations near the delocalized branes, and new solutions in the wave or KK-monopole background in terms of certain partial differential equations in D dimensions including ten and eleven dimensions.

description: Pseudosermyle Caudell, 1903
 Type-species: Pseudosermyle banksii Caudell, 1903: 871, by original designation.
 Comments. Caudell (1903: 867) established Pseudosermyle for five United States species, provided a key and designated the newly described P. banksii from Texas (Brazon County) as the type-species. Zompro (2001a: 216) provided a brief diagnosis of the genus and a preliminary list of species. Currently (Otte & Brock, 2005: 291 ff.), 21 species are attributed to Pseudosermyle, several of which are only known from the type-specimen(s) or a single sex. Three new species from Mexico are described below. Due to the very fractional knowledge of the genus no generic diagnoses can be provided with confirmation. The very diverse structure of the male genitalia and the cerci in particular, indicate the genus as presently treated may contain several distinct generic units. However, any broader discussion on this subject or eventual splitting of the genus is only possible with extensive research and examinations of the complete vast amount of museums specimens and realisation of new collections in Central America. The aim of the present paper restricts to the descriptions of the three new species found among material from the UNAM collection.
Therefore the keys presented below can only be provisional but appear to be warranted for easier determination.
 Distribution. Southwestern USA and Central America.

description: Cows and calves that have a difficult calving often experience negative consequences in their health and productivity, leading to economic losses for the producer. Knowing the economic impact of a difficult calving could impact the decisions that producers, veterinarians, and researchers make regarding the management of cow-calf pairs. Therefore, the aims of this thesis were to estimate the cost, revenue, and profit of assisted cows and calves in the western Canadian context and to study the impact on behaviour and physiology of using a pain mitigation strategy in cows and calves assisted at calving. Chapter 2 estimated the cost, revenue, and profit of assisted and unassisted calvings by using historical records from western Canada cow-calf operations. Cow-calf pairs assisted at calving had a higher cost and therefore lower profit than unassisted pairs. This suggests that producers should consider preventative management strategies to decrease the impact of this event. Chapter 3 investigated the effects of the use of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug administered to cows and calves assisted at calving on physiological and behavioural changes related with pain and cow-calf bonding. Calves that received meloxicam displayed more play behaviour and were more active during the first 24 hours after birth than calves that received placebo. No other differences between treated and untreated cattle were observed. Beef calves assisted at calving may benefit from pain mitigation strategies after an assisted calving to decrease pain and inflammation. With this information producers, veterinarians, and researchers can make informed, economic decisions to increase the health and productivity and improve the welfare of beef cows and calves.

Characterizing the interaction of protein phosphatase RLPH2 with the D group MPKs from Arabidopsis thaliana
Creators: name: Mitchell, Sierra Marie

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Biochemistry

description: Protein phosphorylation is a prevalent post-translational modification that is involved in the regulation of every aspect of cell life. This is achieved through the opposing activities of protein kinases and protein phosphatases, which add or remove a phosphoryl group on proteins, respectively. In Arabidopsis thaliana, there are 942 protein kinases and ~150 protein phosphatases, indicating that protein phosphatases have more adaptive specificity towards its substrates as it can interact with multiple regulatory subunits that directs its enzymatic activity. Novel bacteria like phosphatases have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, one of which is Rhizobiales-like phosphatase (RLPH). Using phosphoproteomics to compare the protein phosphorylation profile of WT and rlph2 KO lines, the D group mitogen activated protein kinases (MPK) were identified to be possible substrates of RLPH2, specifically regulating the TxY motif of their activation loop (in this case TDY). From in vitro peptide work, this dephosphorylation activity seemed to be dependent on the aspartic acid residue being present in the TxY motif. This thesis confirmed RLPH2 specificity using in vitro dephosphorylation assays of full length proteins of MPK and the importance of that aspartic acid in recruiting RLPH2 to D-group MPKs. We have also identified a potential region in the C-terminus of the D group MPKs that may be involved in substrate recruitment, which we explored using binding assays and confirmed an interaction. Lastly, we observed hyperphosphorylation of the D group MPKs in rlph2 KO lines specifically between days 30-42, which may indicate that it is involved in some aspect of the senescent phenotype that was also observed during that period. This research is important in finding the regulatory function of RLPH2 on MPK9 and can be used in understanding how that might affect downstream substrates of D group MPKs.
Attitudes Toward Cooperatives by Bank Trust and Professional Farm Managers

description: Excerpts from the report: As prices for American farmland skyrocketed during the seventies, investors who had traditionally put their money into stocks, various securities, and other types of real estate often invested some money in farms. These nonfarmer investors--doctors, dentists, lawyers, or business people purchasing a farm--usually need someone to manage and operate the new enterprise. Such investors frequently contract with a professional farm management firm or a bank's farm department and may form, in the latter case , a trust to manage the property. This study examines the attitudes and practices of such management entities to discern whether their relationships with farmer cooperatives differ from those of traditional owner-operators. Specifically, the report examines (1) whether such management entities centralize their purchasing and selling, thus bypassing local dealers, including cooperatives; (2) whether these firms use cooperatives to the same extent as individual farmers; and (3) if their dealing with cooperatives differs from those of ordinary farmers. The study thus focuses on whether management of agricultural lands for absentee and nonfarmer owners by banks and professional firms has any present or anticipated significance for farmer cooperatives.

Characteristics of a Novel Alkali Flame Ionization Detector as an Air Sensor for Volatile Organonitrogen Compounds
Creators: name: Mogenson, Cole Mitchell
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Chemistry--Analytical

description: This thesis describes the introduction and characterization of a novel alkali flame ionization detector (AFID) for use as an air sensor for organonitrogen compounds without any chromatographic separation. Using a planar channelled quartz design, a simple, lightweight architecture for the portable device is presented, which yields a sensitive and selective response toward nitrogen-containing analytes over hydrocarbons. For instance, the AFID sensor offers a detection limit of 30 pg N/s and a selectivity for nitrogen response over carbon of nearly two orders of magnitude. Further, the nitrogen response was linear over the 1000-fold range of concentrations investigated. Relative to a flame photometric detector (FPD) device also used in a sensor mode under optimal conditions, the AFID was observed to provide over a 160 times greater S/N value for nitrogen analytes with a selectivity of nitrogen over carbon that was about 16.6 times larger. When using the AFID and FPD sensors in tandem, it was found that the response ratio of the simultaneous signals generated by each produced characteristic signal ratio values that more clearly identified the presence or absence of nitrogen in unknown analytes. The AFID sensor was also used to detect organonitrogen analytes in several sample matrices. Results indicate that signal response was largely unaffected by these potentially interfering sample conditions, and thus this method could be a valuable approach for portable air sensing of nitrogen compounds.
Host and pathogen regulation of intestinal epithelial inflammatory responses during bacterial infections
Creators: name: Sham, Ho Pan

description: The attaching and effacing (A/E) bacterial pathogen enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), targets the intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) lining the gastrointestinal tract, causing severe diarrhea and potentially death. Although IEC express Toll like receptors (TLRs), they are hypo-responsive to most bacterial products, thereby preventing overt inflammatory responses against commensal bacteria. Single Ig IL-1-Related Receptor (SIGIRR) is a negative regulator of interleukin (IL)-1 and TLR expressed by IECs. Its expression by IEC may limit their ability to respond to invading pathogens, potentially increasing host susceptibility to infection. To address whether SIGIRR expression influences host defense against enteric pathogens, Sigirr deficient (-/-) mice were infected with the mouse adapted A/E pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. Sigirr -/- mice responded with accelerated IEC proliferation, and strong pro-inflammatory and antimicrobial responses in this study. Yet, they were highly susceptible to infection. Exaggerated IEC response of Sigirr -/- mice were primarily dependent on IL-1R signaling leading to the rapid and dramatic loss of competing commensal microbes from the infected intestine. Thus, SIGIRR promotes commensal-based resistance to pathogen colonization despite limiting IEC responses to infection. Besides the host, A/E pathogens also actively suppress IEC inflammatory and anti-microbial responses using a type 3 secretion system to deliver bacterial effector proteins into infected IEC. To identify these effector(s), I tested an array of EPEC mutants and identified that non-LEE encoded effector (Nle)C suppressed the release of the chemokine IL-8 from infected IEC in vitro. NleC localized to EPEC-induced pedestals and inhibited both NF-ΚB and p38MAP kinase activation. Comparison between mice infected by ΔnleC to wildtype C. rodentium demonstrated that loss of NleC did not impact pathogen burdens but did result in more severe colitis. Furthermore, ΔnleC compared to wildtype C. rodentium induced significantly greater chemokine responses. Thus, innate IEC responses are actively suppressed by the host in an attempt to prevent enteric infections. However, once A/E pathogens succeed in infecting their host, they try to suppress IEC responses to prolong the infection. These studies highlight the importance of IEC as the key player in controlling host susceptibility to pathogens and in maintaining a mutualistic relationship with the intestinal commensal microbiota.
