description: Persons living with chronic medical conditions (such as coronary artery disease (CAD)) are thought to be at increased risk when exposed to air pollution. This systematic review critically evaluated the short-term health effects of air pollution in persons living with CAD. Original research articles were retrieved systematically through searching electronic databases (e.g., Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE)), cross-referencing, and the authors’ knowledge. From 2884 individual citations, 26 eligible articles were identified. The majority of the investigations (18 of 22 (82%)) revealed a negative relationship between air pollutants and cardiac function or overall health. Heart rate variability (HRV) was the primary cardiovascular outcome measure, with 10 out of 13 studies reporting at least one index of HRV being significantly affected by air pollutants. However, there was some inconsistency in the relationship between HRV and air pollutants, mediated (at least in part) by the confounding effects of beta-blocker medications. In conclusion, there is strong evidence that air pollution can have adverse effects on cardiovascular function in persons living with CAD. All persons living with CAD should be educated on how to monitor air quality, should recognize the potential risks of excessive exposure to air pollution, and be aware of strategies to mitigate these risks. Persons living with CAD should minimize their exposure to air pollution by limiting outdoor physical activity participation when the forecast air quality health index indicates increased air pollution (i.e., an increased risk).

description: An improved theoretical long-range dispersion plus induction dipole moment surface was observed for N2-Ar. Predictions of this dispersion were tested against far-infrared (IR) and mid-IR experimental spectra using two previously-reported potential energy surfaces: MMSVmod and XC-3 potential energy surfaces. The persistence of the difference in the quality for spectra determined by both potentials when more accurate dipole moment surface is employed was determined.
Cartographies of the abyss: Tropics of sublimity in the fictions of Charles Brockden Brown and Edgar Allan Poe
Creators: name: Moreland, Sean
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Literature, American.

description: This thesis examines a number of major intersections between selected fictions of American authors Charles Brockden Brown and Edgar Allan Poe, arguing for the significant and often unrecognized importance of Brown's influence on Poe, and via Poe, on late nineteenth century literary Modernism. It approaches these interwoven fictions through their engagement with the philosophical discourse on the sublime, a discourse that emerged early in the eighteenth century and continued to exert a tremendous influence into the mid-nineteenth century. It argues for the importance of these fictions as pioneering proto-Modernist works due to their development of a literary aesthetic of complex indeterminacy. This indeterminate aesthetic is inextricably bound up with the critical investment in the sublime which these fictions share. This thesis also explores the connections between the sublime aesthetic of these fictions and their provocative scepticism toward dominant paradigms of Enlightenment thought, a scepticism which leads them to explore concepts which in the nineteenth century began to crystallize in the discursive creation of the unconscious. The first chapter focuses on Brown's novel Wieland in terms of its investigation of the relationship between religious inspiration and insanity through the rhetorical sublime. The second considers Brown's Edgar Huntly as a critique of the interlinked concepts of sympathy and sublimity, concepts which were central to the aesthetic and political discourse of the early United States. The third considers the continuation of this critique performed by Poe's only completed novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, and examines the ways in which this story borrows from and transforms Brown's treatment of the natural sublime in Edgar Huntly. The final chapter considers Poe's tale "The Fall of the House of Usher" as an incisive fictional critique of influential theories of the sublime, as articulated by Edmund Burke, James Usher, and Immanuel Kant, and explores the ways in which this transformation of concepts of the sublime informs Poe's importance as a proto-Modernist literary innovator.
Semantic similarity based trust computation in websites

description: The World Wide Web has evolved at an extreme rate due to its capacity to provide an endless amount of information to the public users. Hence, users find themselves lost in a pool of information, without knowing what to trust in order to retain. They normally access this information from the first few links provided to them by the search engines such as Google or Yahoo. However, this factual information, which is essentially popular due to higher hit counts, may not always be trustworthy from the factual aspects. In other words, we can ask ourselves if one can actually trust specific information by the simple fact that it has been ranked high by virtue of being accessed frequently by other users. This thesis presents a mechanism to determine the trust of websites, even though they are not so popular, based on the semantic similarity of their content with the already established and trusted websites. The proposed method allows the dynamic computation of the trust level of websites, and hence overcomes the dependency on the traditional user feedback methods for determining the trust. In fact, our method attempts to emulate the evolving process of trust that takes place in a user's mind. The experimental results have been provided to demonstrate the utility and practicality of the proposed method.

Feeling Finnish and Canadian: Second-generation Finnish immigrant views on ethnic identity and intercultural communication

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Speech Communication.
subject: Sociology, Ethnic and Racial Studies.

description: This thesis research contributes to the literature on Finnish Canadians, and in particular the second-generation, which has attracted limited scholarly attention. It examines how these individuals make sense of their Finnish ethnic and Canadian cultural identities, and the intercultural communication issues that emerge out of their sense of belonging to two cultures. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 second-generation Finnish immigrants in the Ottawa area following Rubin and Rubin's (2005) responsive interviewing approach. It was found that these individuals identify strongly with being Canadian but largely experience symbolic ethnic identity, acknowledging their ethnicity as important but not living day-to-day within Finnish ethnic culture. While some did not report difficulties as a result of their two cultures, others experienced intercultural communication issues with Canadians and/or Finns. These findings suggest that, in some cases, even symbolic ethnic identity may result in intercultural communication issues with both ethnic and broader cultural group members.
Can our schools deliver an education in technology?
Creators: name: Seemann, Kurt
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The casual observer can be forgiven for concluding that today, more than ever before, most Australian High Schools have a significant commitment, driven essentially by interpretations of State policies, to teach and learn more task specific job skills at school particularly in technical areas. Not only do we witness media releases of the imperative of computers in schooling but most recently, the high profile campaign to shift a significant proportion of school students into technically grouped Trade/Vocational streams (specific job category skills training). Indeed, policies and programs such as ‘ready for work’ target middle school students themselves. These strategies, essentially similar to Educational Sloyd, (Anon, 1910) and those practiced in the mid 1900s (Gibson and Barlow, 2000), are occasionally highlighted as innovative. However, at least two specific issues may be explored in response to the above scenario. Firstly, the issue of what constitutes an education in technology? Secondly, if as we are to believe, job security is a thing of the past, manufacturing labour markets are shifting out of Australia and ideas/academic economies are poised to replace traditional vocations (mostly yet to be invented), what ought constitute an education that readies adolescents for employment? If our schools interpret technology in the curriculum as essentially and superficially the two extremes of VET skills application or ‘hightech’ information technology user skills, and little more, could our State School systems be selling a lolly to our youth: popular and tastes good in the short term, but is it good for their wellbeing in the longer term? Have our schools beguiled our youth to a future that at best serves a very narrow labour market to the many and a level of technology understanding that lacks sufficient depth to confidently make informed decisions in life that has carriage through a range of career changes and lifestyle and employment circumstances? If in addition we consider the policy push to reduce technology teacher degrees to the same VET specific level of technology skills instruction (a model the profession fought hard to be rid of 30 years ago), what depth of understanding and capacity for global awareness can students in schools expect from their new technology teacher graduates?

description: Transplantation of xenogenic porcine chondrocytes could represent a future strategy for the treatment of human articular cartilage defects. Major obstacles are humoral and cellular rejection processes triggered by xenogenic epitopes like α-1,3-Gal and Neu5Gc. Besides knockout (KO) of genes responsible for the biosynthesis of respective epitopes (GGTA1 and CMAH), transgenic expression of human complement inhibitors and anti-apoptotic as well as anti-inflammatory factors (CD46, CD55, CD59, TNFAIP3 and HMOX1) could synergistically prevent hyperacute xenograft rejection. Therefore, chondrocytes from different strains of single- or multi-genetically modified pigs were characterized concerning their protection from xenogeneic complement activation. Articular chondrocytes were isolated from the knee joints of WT, GalTKO, GalT/CMAH-KO, human CD59/CD55//CD46/TNFAIP3/HMOX1-transgenic (TG), GalTKO/TG and GalT/CMAHKO/TG pigs. The tissue-specific effectiveness of the genetic modifications was tested on gene, protein and epitope expression level or by functional assays. After exposure to 20% and 40% normal human serum (NHS), deposition of C3b/iC3b/C3c and formation of the terminal complement complex (TCC, C5b-9) was quantified by specific cell ELISAs, and generation of the anaphylatoxin C5a by ELISA. Chondrocyte lysis was analyzed by Trypan Blue Exclusion Assay. In all respective KO variants, the absence of α -1,3-Gal and Neu5Gc epitope was verified by FACS analysis. In chondrocytes derived from TG animals, expression of CD55 and CD59 could be confirmed on gene and protein level, TNFAIP3 on gene expression level as well as by functional assays and CD46 only on gene expression level whereas transgenic HMOX1 expression was not evident. Complement activation in the presence of NHS indicated mainly effective although incomplete protection against C3b/iC3b/C3c deposition, C5a-generation and C5b-9 formation being lowest in single GalTKO. Chondrocyte viability under exposure to NHS was significantly improved even by single GalTKO and completely preserved by all other variants including TG chondrocytes without KO of xenoepitopes.

Tradition in science.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" got people to pay attention to tradition in science. This thesis considers how what Kuhn says about paradigms is closely linked with the idea of science as involving tradition. Kuhn takes paradigms to be a source of coherence in scientific traditions and the carrier of them, i.e., in normal science traditions are embodied in paradigms and hence maintained by them. I argue that when Kuhn emphasizes the priority of paradigms, he is actually emphasizing the role of tradition in normal science. I suggest that Kuhn's discussion about the priority of paradigms not only shows that he emphasizes the role of tradition, it also clarifies how traditions are formed and changed. Kuhn's work is often taken as the basis for resisting the rational view of science. His "incommensurability thesis" and "community authority thesis" are viewed by people, such as Feyerabend, as implying science is arational of irrational. They suggest that in science there is only replacement of paradigms, not the continuation of tradition. To better understand Kuhn's view about tradition, I argue that we need to understand his views about practice, rule, and theory. Comparing Kuhn's and Wittgenstein's views, I argue that Kuhn holds that practice and rules stand at the same level. Thus when Kuhn emphasizes the priority of paradigms, what he wants to say is that paradigms are more binding and more complete than any set of rules for research that could be unequivocally abstracted from them. For Kuhn paradigm changes are caused by the discovery of new facts and the invention of new theories together and this takes time. Thus, when the old tradition gives way to the new one, many concepts and ideas of the old tradition will inevitably be retained. Moreover, during the change of tradition, the old tradition plays a role in the formation of the new one, a point that Kuhn overlooks. In addition, a change of tradition in the development of science usually appears as a change of a small part of science while the main part of it continues as before. I examine how tradition plays a role in scientific discovery and justification. I first clarify the understanding of the distinction between the context of discovery and the context of justification. What Kuhn should have said, I believe, is that just as in normal science scientists use solutions to typical problems as paradigms and solve new problems by imitating the way in which typical problems were solved, so they use paradigms of individual sciences as examples of inquiry and deal with crises in scientific revolutions. I argue that the process of the establishment of a new tradition is a rational process. In addition to these arguments, I argue against Kuhn's"community authority thesis". I point out that for Kuhn community authority does not come from or represent tradition, rather, it seems to be independent of traditional authority, even to be definitive of tradition.

Progressive image transmission by segmentation-based coding.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Progressive image transmission, where an image builds up gradually, is gaining popularity in image database browsing applications. In these applications, a user might have to reject a large number of unwanted images before selecting the desired one. In such a case, the time required to identify the image contents becomes very important. In this thesis, we present a novel progressive image transmission technique based on a representation by segmentation. The technique preserves edges at low bit rates and is biased toward fast identification. An image is segmented into regions having constant intensity by applying a morphological operator: the watershed. The segmented image is gradually simplified using a graph. The simplifications are transmitted in the reverse order. At the decoder, the image is dynamically divided into an increasing number of regions as the transmission progresses. A subjective experiment was designed, and the recognition times of images transmitted with the proposed algorithm were compared with the recognition times of the same images transmitted with JPEG. The proposed method was found to result in faster recognition of image contents for almost all the images. Some work on the objective evaluation of coarse images is also presented.
From insular to connective knowledge: a strategy for embedding new media for cultural applications in design education for the creative industries
Creators: name: Russo, Angelina
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Interdisciplinary practice requires an understanding of a complex set of associated fields. Within design education, the establishment of an interdisciplinary framework could be described as a series of shifts from discipline-specific to interdisciplinary knowledge. These shifts rely on articulating existing practice and defining the patterns of association which are made imperative through interdisciplinary practice. In traditional design education, disciplines have been framed by the system of education and occupation while interdisciplinarity has been viewed as knowledge without organising patterns and frameworks (Weingart and Nico, 2000). Breaking away from the binds of occupation and discipline-specific design education has been made possible by new models of education, an example being the creative industries. Using the museum exhibition environment as a testing ground for interdisciplinary theory and practice, this paper will define the new media descriptors which impact directly upon design education. This impact will consider the patterns which are present in terms of educational models which could be used to analyse them. This framework is then tested and described as a shift from insular to connective knowledge where disciplinarity is embedded within an interdisciplinary framework for new media in design education for cultural institutions.
Control of catecholamine storage and release in teleost fish.
Creators: name: Reid, Steve G.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Biology, Animal Physiology.

description: This thesis examined a variety of factors controlling the storage and release of the catecholamine hormones, adrenaline and noradrenaline, from chromaffin cells in teleost fish. In these fish, chromaffin cells line the walls of the posterior cardinal vein (PCV) in the anterior kidney region (head kidney). To examine the process of catecholamine release, an in situ saline-perfused PCV preparation first was developed and validated in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The levels of stored catecholamines were approximately 4X greater in trout than in eel, and trout chromaffin cells released greater quantities of catecholamines in response to both 60 mmol 1$\sp{-1}$ K$\sp+$ and carbachol administration, in situ. Thus trout chromaffin cells appear to exhibit a greater capacity to release catecholamines than do eel chromaffin cells which may explain the different plasma catecholamine levels during acute hypoxia. The proximate stimulus for catecholamine release in rainbow trout, during exposure to acute hypoxia, was examined by acclimating trout to either 5 or 15$\sp\circ$C in order to modify haemoglobin oxygen-affinity. At 15$\sp\circ$C, catecholamines were released into the circulation at a PaO$\sb2$ threshold of 34.5 torr while at 5$\sp\circ$C the threshold was 24.0 torr. Release thresholds, calculated on the basis of arterial blood oxygen-saturation were similar at both temperatures (approximately 60% Hb O$\sb2$-saturation). Thus the lowering of blood oxygen content, rather than PO$\sb2,$ appears to be the proximate stimulus causing catecholamine release in rainbow trout during acute hypoxia. In the rainbow trout, intra-arterial injections of serotonin in vivo caused an increase in both plasma adrenaline and noradrenaline levels. In situ, bolus injections of catecholamines which was attenuated by pre-treatment with the serotonergic receptor antagonist, methysergide but unaffected by hexamethonium. Thus serotonin is capable of causing the release of catecholamines by interacting with serotonergic receptors on the chromaffin cells. The effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), the normal secretagogue of cortisol, on catecholamine release, was investigated in the rainbow trout. Intra-arterial injections of ACTH, in vivo, caused an elevation of plasma adrenaline levels. In situ, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) caused the release of both catecholamines. ACTH-induced release was unaffected by pre-treatment with hexamethonium or methysergide but abolished in Ca$\sp{2+}$-free media. Injections of cortisol in situ did not elicit catecholamine release. ACTH, therefore, is capable of eliciting catecholamine secretion from the chromaffin cells in rainbow trout. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Microservices are a popular method to design scalable cloud-based applications. Microservice-based applications (μApps) rely on message passing for communication and to decouple each microservice, allowing the logic in each service to scale independently. Complex μApps can contain hundreds of microservices, complicating the ability of DevOps engineers to reason about and automatically optimize the deployment. In particular, the performance and resource utilization of a μApp depends on the placement of the microservices that compose it. However, existing tools for μApps, like Kubernetes, provide minimal ability to influence the placement and utilization of a μApp deployment. In this paper, we first identify the runtime aspects of microservice execution that impact the placement of microservices in a μApp. We then review the challenges of reconfiguring a μApp based on these aspects. Our main contribution is an adaptation mechanism, named REMaP, to manage the placement of microservices in an μApp automatically. To achieve this, REMaP uses microservice affinities and resource usage history. We evaluate our REMaP prototype and demonstrate that our solution is autonomic, lowers resource utilization, and can substantially improve μApp performance.

description: Purpose: Although it is known that children with developmental language disorder (DLD) have difficulty composing personal narratives, previous studies have not employed a wide range of measures that reflect functioning at the different levels of discourse processing, as proposed in the Linguistic Underpinnings of Narrative in Aphasia (LUNA) framework. Because children evoke pleasant or unpleasant events through personal narratives, this study examines whether the emotional valence of the event influences the narrative production of Croatian-speaking children with DLD and those with typical language development (TLD) at the linguistic, propositional, and macrostructure levels.Method: Fifty 10-year-old Croatian-speaking children with DLD and 50 gender-matched peers with TLD told personal narratives elicited through emotion-based prompts using the Global TALES protocol. Emotional valence was analyzed by coding each narrative event as either pleasant (positive) or unpleasant (negative). The narratives were evaluated using measures from the linguistic (lexical diversity, grammatical complexity, and accuracy), propositional (mazes, incomplete utterances, local coherence) and macrostructure (global coherence) levels.Results: Our results show that children with DLD who speak Croatian have difficulty forming personal narratives at all three levels of discourse production, as evidenced by lower grammatical complexity and accuracy, more incomplete utterances, and lower local and global coherence. These difficulties are consistent in both positive and negative narratives. Results also showed that negative narratives are chronologically better ordered than positive narratives in both groups of children.Conclusion: These findings provide further evidence that children with DLD have considerable difficulty producing linguistically well-organized, complete, and coherent personal narratives across different levels of the LUNA framework, regardless of the emotional valence of the events they recount.Supplemental Material S1. Four examples of coded transcripts of personal narratives that show both positive and negative events.

description: Part A. Lithiated bicyclic sulfoxides. The stereochemistry of the reaction of the lithio derivatives of two sets of isomeric 3-thia (3.2.1) octane-3-oxides with electophiles such as benzyl bromide, acetone and D$\sb2$O has been studied. Introduction of the deuterium always occurred cis to the S=O bond as expected on the basis of earlier results described by Marquet for the related thiane-S-oxides. In contrast, benzyl groups were introduced either cis or trans to the existing S=O bond. The results are most readily rationalized in terms of a planar configuration at the $\alpha$-carbanion center. The unexpected cis benzylations are due to steric hindrance of the preferred approach anti to the S=O bond by either the ethano bridge or the 8-endo methyl group. Part B. The synthesis of optically active $\alpha$-amino esters via kinetic dynamic resolution. The synthesis of N-protected optically active $\alpha$-amino esters from racemic $\alpha$-halo esters via kinetic dynamic resolution will be described. This methodology is general in nature and provides the desired optically active N-protected amino esters in 70-95% yield with diastereomeric excesses in the range of 85 to $>$98%. Applications and mechanistic aspects of the reaction will be discussed.

description: Significant changes in individual investor involvement and behavior have driven an extraordinary global financial markets transition in recent years. From 2020 to 2024, this thorough study looks at the complex link between investor psychology and shareholding patterns across significant worldwide markets. By means of in-depth surveys of 2,500,000 retail trading accounts and comprehensive analysis of market data including over 500,000 investment decisions, this study exposes basic changes in investment decision-making processes and market confidence indicators. While retail investors with high financial literacy scores show 32% reduced portfolio turnover rates than their less-informed counterparts, the study finds notable correlations between social media sentiment and trading volumes (r = 0.78, p < 0.001). Moreover, the research records a 47% rise in risk-adjusted returns among investors that follow systematic investment policies and have diverse portfolios. These results significantly add to the body of knowledge on behavioral finance and have pragmatic consequences for financial institutions adjusting to the changing retail investment scene, regulatory authorities, and market players.

The standard information requirements necessary for the registration and their adaptation options for high tonnage substances are specified in the REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annexes VII to XI. Within this project, the availability of data to fulfil these requirements was screened with a standardised web-based ap-proach. The endpoints considered were repeated dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive tox-icity, and genetic toxicity as human health-related endpoints and degradation (biotic, abiotic), bioac-cumulation, ecotoxicity and exposure as environment-related endpoints.

La escritura con el cuerpo como una inversion de la dominacion masculina en "Novela negra con argentinos" (1990) y "La travesia" (2001) de Luisa Valenzuela
Creators: name: Cardona Nunez, Nohora Viviana
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Literature, Latin American.

description: The objective of this Master's thesis is to analyze how female characters are represented in the Argentinean Luisa Valenzuela's novels Novela negra con argentinos (1990) and La travesia (2001), and the way in which these characters, through the writing process, move forward in their awareness development and in the elaboration of a discourse that proposes an inversion to male domination. The introduction and theoretical framework explain both the objectives and the theoretical tools utilized throughout the thesis chapters: the first chapter develops the analysis of Novela negra con argentinos, emphasizing the concept of what the novel's main character calls writing with the body. An attempt is made to solve the questioning on whether it is possible to consider writing with the body within non-female aesthetics. The androgenisation process of Valenzuela's characters is also analyzed as a strategy that allows for questioning the roles that have traditionally been assigned to men and women. This strategy is also an attempt to bring closer two aesthetics that appear as conflicting in the text: the female discourse of writing with the body, and the male logocentric discourse. The second chapter focuses on the analysis of La travesia ; a novel that is considered as an adult Bildungsroman. This part shows how awareness through memory allows the main character to develop some strategies that make it possible for her to rebel against the patriarchal system. Such awareness becomes evident in the manner in which she begins to relate to men; as well as in finding a way of writing in which she has ceased to please the male Otherness that has alienated her for years. That way of writing gives her access to a new symbolic order in which gender relations appear more equitable. The last chapter presents the conclusions of this work on the Argentinean author who, through her essays and creative production, denounces the female oppression situation, as one of her structural central themes; as well as her proposals to promote liberation from such oppression.

Constitutive modeling for mechanical behavior of polymer-clay nanocomposite foams

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: Constitutive equations for characterizing the nonlinear mechanical behavior of polymer/clay nanocomposite foams were studied. To consider the influence of the crystallinity on the mechanical properties of the foams, both amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers were used. Several viscoelastic models were accounted for the modeling of tensile behavior. The constitutive equation for nonlinear tensile behavior of microcellular Poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA) foams was expressed in terms of material properties and physical characteristics of foams such as strain, strain rate, elastic modulus, relative density of foam, and relaxation time constant. In the constitutive model for tensile behavior of PMMA/clay nanocomposite foams, the reinforcing effect by intercalation of the clays and the detrimental effect by clay agglomeration were considered. The constitutive equation was expressed in terms of clay morphology and material properties. The aspect ratio of clays and the expansion of clay layer spacing in the intercalated clay clusters were proved to play a vital role in the reinforcing mechanism. For the modeling of semi-crystalline polymer/clay nanocomposite foams, the effects of nanoclay loadings, crystallinity, strain rate, and foaming conditions on the foam morphology and mechanical properties of microcellular high density polyethylene (HDPE)/clay nanocomposites were studied. Intercalated clay structures were investigated in the nanocomposites, and microcellular foams were manufactured by a batch foaming process. Tensile mechanical tests indicated that Young's modulus and the tensile strength were reinforced on the whole with crystallinity and nanoclay contents. Also, a constitutive model for tensile behavior of HDPE/clay nanocomposite foams was proposed. The elastic modulus of the foams was developed using micromechanics theory and representative volume element (RVE) concept. The constitutive model for HDPE/clay nanocomposite foams was expressed in terms of microstructural properties of polymer, and physical properties of the foams. Employing the proper constitutive laws, the macroscopic material behaviors of polymer/clay nanocomposite foams could be represented. The developed constitutive models were demonstrated by experiment.
Metamorphic testing of programs on partial differential equations: a case study

description: We study the effect of applying metamorphic testing to alleviate the oracle problem for numerical programs. We discuss a case study on the testing of a program that solves an elliptic partial differential equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We identify a metamorphic relation for the equation and demonstrate the effectiveness of metamorphic testing in identifying the error. The relation identified in the paper should also be applicable to other numerical methods that yield better approximations on the refinement of grid points or step sizes.

description: Neoliberalism and globalization have contributed to an environment of economic uncertainty in rural Canada, raising concern for the social well-being of its residents. Despite immense challenges, many rural communities possess positive elements of social cohesion that can be used by the community in the pursuit of their communal objectives. This thesis uses social cohesion as a theoretical framework to examine this rural social environment, its relationship with sport tourism and sport's ability to foster social cohesion. Using Plaster Rock, New Brunswick and the World Pond Hockey Championships (WPHC) as a case study, this thesis broadens social cohesion research to include tourists and other visitors to rural regions. In doing so, this thesis demonstrates how the social potential of sport creates a community around the event with its own social cohesion. The residents of the host community participate in the event's activities, which contribute to the achievement the common goals of all stakeholders, local and visiting. This research begins to examine the unique social environment which exists in many rural communities, as well contributes to a better understanding of sport and sport tourism's ability to foster social cohesion in these communities.

description: Upon the loss of glucose as the main carbon source cells have developed different mechanisms in order to adapt to this stress and promote survival. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae one such mechanism is acetylation, a post-translational modification performed by a lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) complex, such as NuA4, which has been previously shown to regulate different glucose metabolic pathways. Despite its known role upon glucose starvation, it is not currently understood how NuA4 itself is regulated in response to acute glucose deprivation (GD). I determine here that NuA4 complex protein levels (including catalytic protein Esa1), structure, activity, and localization are not impacted by acute GD. Despite GD showing no impact to NuA4 itself, it does result in the remodelling of both the interactome and acetylome of the complex where 160 proteins were identified to change interaction with Esa1-TAP and 93 acetylation sites were identified. As well GD results in a shift in localization of interacting proteins from nuclear upon standard growth to cytoplasmic. As well the changing interactome shows enrichment for proteins related to regulation of transcription and translation, metabolic pathways like glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, and others related to the cellular stress response. From the interactome three sets of proteins, Pab1, Eaf5/7/3, and Fas1 and Fas2, were studied further to greater characterize their interaction with NuA4 as they change interaction upon GD. Eaf7 protein levels were shown to decrease upon GD and both Fas1 and Fas2 levels were shown to increase in response to NuA4 deletion mutants. Together this work provides a greater understanding of the cellular response to acute GD stress, and how NuA4 plays a role in response to that stress in order to promote cell survival.
