The acquisition of complex wh- questions in the L2 English of Canadian French and Bulgarian speakers: Medial wh-constructions, inversion phenomena, and avoidance strategies

description: This dissertation examines the development of long-distance wh- movement questions in the L2 English of (Canadian) French and Bulgarian speakers. The main phenomenon under investigation is medial wh- constructions (wh- scope marking and wh- copying). Such constructions are of particular interest because they are unattested in both the L1 and the L2 of the two learner populations; at the same time, they are licensed options in a number of other typologically distinct languages, of which the participants report no knowledge. As such, medial wh- constructions pose a learnability problem in L2 acquisition: how can a learner "know" something that is not supported by either the native language or the target input, but is attested in other languages? Two experiments, a written grammaticality judgment multiple-choice task and an oral elicited production task, were carried out with the two different learner populations and with English native speaker controls. The written experiments showed that medial wh- constructions co-exist and compete with the target English long-distance structure at the early and intermediate stages of acquisition of both the French and the Bulgarian speaking participants; at the advanced stages of acquisition, both populations showed evidence that medial wh- representations had been successfully eliminated from the interlanguage grammar, and the L2 data converged with that of the native speakers. In the oral elicitation experiments both the French and the Bulgarian speaking participants resorted to medial wh- and a number of other strategies aimed at avoiding long-distance wh- movement; I argue that such strategies are due to both the derivational complexity and the high processing load associated with long-distance wh- movement. The account developed to address the findings of the dissertation incorporates insights from both nativist and domain-general views on acquisition. The proposal is that L2 grammars have to be UG-constrained in order for the learnability problem to be resolved. In addition, the acquisition process has to be strongly driven by the input, allowing learners to make extensive use of a general probabilistic learning mechanism; this mechanism helps them to gradually eliminate the competing representations unsupported by the L2 input and to converge with the grammatical target. This approach is in principle applicable to both L1 and L2 acquisition and accounts for some relevant similarities between the two.

Sustainable design practitioners: why they must be at the centre of discussions on sustainable design education?
Creators: name: Mann, Llew

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Sustainable design education is vital for engineering students. This is to allow them to meet the challenges both engineering and the wider community will face in the future. This need has not only been mandated by Engineers Australia's graduate attributes from an Australian perspective, but more widely the issue of sustainability is one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced. Engineers need to be at the forefront of this challenge, because we can not only do the greatest good, but have the potential to cause the greatest harm. The biggest question with respect to the education of engineers about sustainable design is what do engineers need to know, and how best to enable this learning. This paper argues that since the entire phenomenon of sustainable design is constantly growing and changing, it is only by looking at practitioners currently trying design sustainably, and their ways of experiencing sustainable design, can we hope to articulate what it is, and therefore what and how we need to teach engineering students. It also argues that to accommodate sustainable design within engineering, we need to go further and transform the engineering profession to enable it to meet the challenges that sustainability presents.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: The main objective of the different security services and mechanisms today are to provide privacy of information and to ensure that the tools used to establish a proper environment to the user are reliable and trusted. To provide a high level of security, an exhaustive approach that depicts a complete package of the Internet security classification categories is needed to show how, where and when each of the security services works. The proposed comprehensive Internet security taxonomy is innovative in its overall study of Internet security as the guidelines established to assess the taxonomy are strict. Many of the known Internet security attacks and the Internet security services associated with them are analyzed in this proposed taxonomy. A mapping of the security services against the security attacks and corresponding countermeasures is given. An assessment of the performance of the proposed taxonomy is also given, showing it to be useful, exhaustive and unambiguous.

description: Im Projekt „Zero-Emission Cargo Bike for Smart Cities“ (ZEC-Bike) wurde das weltweit erste rein elektrisch angetriebene Lastenkraftrad mit schnelllade- und rekuperationsfähiger Batterie entwickelt. Dafür wurde im Projekt ein hochwertiges Batteriesystem mit aktivem Heiz /Kühlsystem entwickelt, welches mit öffentlichen AC- Ladesäulen effizient und schnell geladen wird (Ladung bis auf 80 % der Nennkapazität innerhalb von 30 Minuten). Trotz kleinem Bauraum sowie niedriger Batteriespannung (<60 V) und somit hohen Stromstärken konnte eine effiziente Schnellladung realisiert werden. Um die negativen Effekte der Nutzlast auf das Fahrverhalten zu minimieren, wurde im Projekt ein neues Fahrzeugkonzept mit schwerpunktgünstiger und nutzerfreundlicher Anbringung der Nutzlast entwickelt, welches Fahrten mit den im städtischen Raum üblichen Geschwindigkeiten auch bei voller Beladung erlaubt. Aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen des Projekts „Sicherheitsfahrwerk mit Elektro-Allradantrieb für E-Bikes und E-Motorräder“ wurden auch das entwickelte Lastenrad mit einem Allradantrieb ausgestattet. Dieser dient zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz (Rekuperation auch am Vorderrad, wo bei Zweirädern ein Hauptanteil der Bremsenergie umgesetzt wird) und zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit durch entsprechende, im Projekt entwickelte Unterstützungssysteme für den Fahrer unabhängig von der Beladung. Dazu wurde auch ein haptisches Feedback am Lenker implementiert, um in kritischen Fahrmanövern dem Fahrer Hinweise zur Erhöhung der Fahrsicherheit geben zu können. Auch die technische Möglichkeit einer Cloud-Anbindung des Fahrzeugs für digitale Services wurde gezeigt. Entsprechend den technischen Alleinstellungsmerkmalen wurden zudem geeignete Geschäftsmodelle untersucht, um eine erfolgreiche Markteinführung des elektrischen Lastenkraftrades zu unterstützen. Mögliche Anwendungsfälle können von kommunaler Grünflächenpflege bis zum Nutzlasttransport für den städtischen Kleinliefer- und Kurierverkehr reichen. Die Erreichung der Projektziele wurde durch entsprechende Tests mit prototypischen Systemen und einem Fahrzeugdemonstrator nachgewiesen.
A comparative study on Canadian and EC anti-dumping legislation and the compatibility of anti-dumping law with free trade areas
Creators: name: Abou-Khalil, Nassib
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Law.

description: This paper looks at how anti-dumping legislation was implemented in Canada and in the European Communities. This comparison of Canadian and EC anti-dumping law aims at examining how the Anti-Dumping Code was transposed and applied in each jurisdiction by looking at each step of an anti-dumping investigation, starting with the initiation of an investigation, the calculation of the normal value and of the export price, the determination of the dumping margin, the finding of injury, and ending with other related matters such as anti-absorption and anti-circumvention rules. Having looked at Canadian and EC anti-dumping law as such, this paper examines the compatibility of anti-dumping actions with the creation of free trade areas and the effect of anti-dumping duties on such free trade areas. It looks specifically at the EC and the NAFTA examples. Both the NAFTA and the EC treaty create, generally speaking, a free trade area, however the approach taken vis-a-vis anti-dumping duties within the free trade area is different in each case: while the EC abolished anti-dumping duties within the free trade area, these duties are maintained under the NAFTA regime.
Working principle of an ionic liquid interlayer during pressureless lithium stripping on Li6.25Al0.25La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) garnet‐type solid electrolyte

description: No pressure: This work demonstrates the working principle of an ionic liquid interlayer to enhance the stripping performance of lithium metal in contact with a garnet solid electrolyte. Detailed analysis, including galvanostatic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cryogenic FIB-SEM, shows that pores forming in lithium metal during stripping are compensated to a great extent, which improves the stripping performance up to over 15 mAh cm−2. Solid-state-batteries employing lithium metal anodes promise high theoretical energy and power densities. However, morphological instability occurring at the lithium/solid–electrolyte interface when stripping and plating lithium during cell cycling needs to be mitigated. Vacancy diffusion in lithium metal is not sufficiently fast to prevent pore formation at the interface above a certain current density during stripping. Applied pressure of several MPa can prevent pore formation, but this is not conducive to practical application. This work investigates the concept of ionic liquids as “self-adjusting” interlayers to compensate morphological changes of the lithium anode while avoiding the use of external pressure. A clear improvement of the lithium dissolution process is observed as it is possible to continuously strip more than 70 μm lithium (i. e., 15 mAh cm−2 charge) without the need for external pressure during assembly and electrochemical testing of the system. The impedance of the investigated electrodes is analyzed in detail, and contributions of the different interfaces are evaluated. The conclusions are corroborated with morphology studies using cryo-FIB-SEM and chemical analysis using XPS. This improves the understanding of the impedance response and lithium stripping in electrodes employing liquid interlayers, acting as a stepping-stone for future optimization.

description: Problem. After two years of operation a review of the Rapid Palliative Radiotherapy Program revealed that only 17 family physicians in Eastern Ontario had used the program. Methods of investigation. This thesis consists of: (1) A systematic literature review of the relative effectiveness of a single fraction of radiotherapy to relieve painful bone metastases and (2) A survey of family physicians to assess their awareness of the Rapid Palliative Radiotherapy Program. Results. A single fraction of radiotherapy is of comparable effectiveness to multiple fraction radiotherapy treatment schedules in relieving painful metastatic bone disease (Odds Ratio: 1.13, 95% CI = 0.96 to 1.34). Only 18% of survey responders were aware of the RPRP. Conclusion. Improving family physician awareness of the Rapid Palliative Radiotherapy Program is the first step to improving utilization of the program and access for patients with painful metastatic bone disease to a proven, effective analgesic treatment.
An empirical investigation of mood regulation: description, structure and mood correlates
Creators: name: Buckingham, Sarah
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study sought to advance understanding of the construct of mood regulation. There were four principal goals: to describe the strategies and activities that individuals engage in to self-regulate mood; to investigate individual differences, according to gender, age and Neuroticism, in strategy use; to test whether mood regulation strategies were predictive of state mood; and to examine whether there were latent dimensions underlying mood regulation strategy usage. The sample comprised 204 participants, including 76 males and 128 females, who ranged in age from 19 to 63 (M = 37.74, SD = 11.60). Participants completed a self-report questionnaire that assessed use of a wide variety of strategies, level of Neuroticism and state mood. Results indicated that cognitive and social strategies were most frequently used for regulating mood. The strategies were significantly related to mood overall, and more specifically, as predicted, exercise and distraction were beneficial for mood, whereas emotion-focused activities were detrimental for mood. Three broad dimensions of mood regulation were identified. The importance of the findings are discussed in relation to the treatment and prevention of mood disorders and related psychopathology.

description: We prove that quantum many-body systems on a one-dimensional lattice locally relax to Gaussian states under non-equilibrium dynamics generated by a bosonic quadratic Hamiltonian. This is true for a large class of initial states—pure or mixed—which have to satisfy merely weak conditions concerning the decay of correlations. The considered setting is a proven instance of a situation where dynamically evolving closed quantum systems locally appear as if they had truly relaxed, to maximum entropy states for fixed second moments. This furthers the understanding of relaxation in suddenly quenched quantum many-body systems. The proof features a non-commutative central limit theorem for non-i.i.d. random variables, showing convergence to Gaussian characteristic functions, giving rise to trace-norm closeness. We briefly link our findings to the ideas of typicality and concentration of measure.

description: Abstract Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) can present with different histopathological growth patterns. The impact of these histopathological growth patterns on relapse characteristics is unknown. We therefore analyzed paired biopsies obtained at initial diagnosis and relapse from 33 NLPHL patients who had received first‐line treatment within German Hodgkin Study Group (GHSG) trial protocols, and from a second cohort of 41 relapsed NLPHL patients who had been treated outside GHSG studies. Among the 33 GHSG patients, 21 patients presented with a typical growth pattern at initial diagnosis, whereas 12 patients had a variant histology. The histopathological growth patterns at initial diagnosis and at relapse were consistent in 67% of cases. A variant histology at initial diagnosis was associated with a shorter median time to lymphoma recurrence (2.8 vs 5.2 years; P = .0219). A similar tendency towards a shorter median time to lymphoma recurrence was observed for patients presenting with a variant histology at relapse, irrespective of the growth pattern at initial diagnosis. Results obtained from the 41 NLPHL patients who had been treated outside GHSG studies were comparable (median time to lymphoma recurrence for variant histology vs typical growth pattern at initial diagnosis: 1.5 vs 7.0 years). In conclusion, the histopathological growth pattern remains consistent at relapse in the majority of NLPHL cases, and has major impact on the time of relapse.

description: Several approaches have been proposed for the analysis of pain-related facial expressions. These approaches range from common classification architectures based on a set of carefully designed handcrafted features, to deep neural networks characterised by an autonomous extraction of relevant facial descriptors and simultaneous optimisation of a classification architecture. In the current work, an end-to-end approach based on attention networks for the analysis and recognition of pain-related facial expressions is proposed. The method combines both spatial and temporal aspects of facial expressions through a weighted aggregation of attention-based neural networks’ outputs, based on sequences of Motion History Images (MHIs) and Optical Flow Images (OFIs). Each input stream is fed into a specific attention network consisting of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) coupled to a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). An attention mechanism generates a single weighted representation of each input stream (MHI sequence and OFI sequence), which is subsequently used to perform specific classification tasks. Simultaneously, a weighted aggregation of the classification scores specific to each input stream is performed to generate a final classification output. The assessment conducted on both the BioVid Heat Pain Database (Part A) and SenseEmotion Database points at the relevance of the proposed approach, as its classification performance is on par with state-of-the-art classification approaches proposed in the literature.

description: This chapter focuses on how sustainable soil management provisions could be implemented and enforced. It discusses first how institutional arrangements have to be built up in order to establish effective implementation and enforcement processes. One basic question is which management tasks for soil governance have to be dealt with by governmental entities. Secondly, the chapter outlines how science could contribute to effective legal implementation and enforcement. Thirdly, the involvement of the general public, stakeholders and experts is elucidated. These aspects need to be stressed as being essential and important as reasonable substantive provisions are only "ink on paper" as long as they are not fully implemented and enforced. © 2022 The Author
Argentina can learn from Australia's economic success

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: In 2009, I launched a book titled Drifting Apart: The Diverging Development Paths of Argentina and Australia, which I co-authored with Fernando Tohme from Universidad Nacional del Sur in Argentina. We compared the economic and social trajectories of Argentina and Australia over the twentieth and early part of the twenty-first century. At the time we were writing the book, the Argentine economy was still struggling to recover from the massive economic and social crises of 2001. While Argentina's financial situation appears to have improved since, I would like to posit that the nation's recovery itself was contingent on an extended period of democracy (from 1983 onward) and the subsequent institutional reform this made possible.
Molecular characterisation of candidate wheat proteins associated with the development of type 1 diabetes.
Creators: name: Burghardt, Karolina M.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: A wheat gluten (WG) diet promotes the development of type 1 diabetes (TID) in diabetes prone BioBreeding (BBdp) rats. Our aim was to examine whether oral exposure of neonates to WG proteins prior to weaning would modify the disease process and to identify candidate wheat proteins that may be related to development of TID. Feeding diabetes-promoting WG proteins during the first week of life protected a proportion (∼1/2) of animals from developing diabetes as adults. Twenty-four hours after exposure to a cereal-based diet there was a downregulation of the Th1 cytokine gene IFN-gamma in the small intestine. A cross-sectional analysis of 1D-Western blots of WG proteins showed that 70 d BBdp rats have higher IgG reactivity to 33 and 36 kDa WG proteins than diabetes resistant BB rats. Similarly, prospective analysis of pre-diabetic and asymptomatic BBdp rats showed that increased reactivity to 33 and 38 kDa WG proteins was associated with progression to disease. We detected increased IgG reactivity to 33 and 38 kDa WG proteins in Finnish children newly diagnosed with diabetes compared with age, sex and HLA-DQ matched children without diabetes. 2D-Western blots showed that 11 wheat proteins were antigenic in the majority of BBdp rats. These 11 proteins were analysed by mass spectrometry and searches of amino acid sequences in public databases suggested that two candidate wheat proteins were alanine aminotransferase 2 transaminase 2 (GPT-2, TC# 8197) and wheat storage globulin (WSG, Acc.No.AAA3469). GPT-2 and WSG have similar amino acid sequences as human heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), an autoantigen in TID. Moreover, WSG shares sequence homology with the insulin receptor precursor, interleukin-I (IL-1) receptor and IL-1 beta. These structural homologies to diabetes related antigens suggest that wheat proteins may be involved in the autoimmune process that destroys beta-cells. As part of a strategy to develop assays of food protein "diabetogenicity", we showed a major down regulation in protein expression in gut epithelial cells exposed to chymotrypsin digested WG proteins. These studies are the first direct molecular characterisation of diabetes related dietary wheat proteins that may be implicated in the development of T1D.

description: Severe injuries are frequently accompanied by hemorrhagic shock and harbor an increased risk for complications. Local or systemic inflammation after trauma/hemorrhage may lead to a leaky intestinal epithelial barrier and subsequent translocation of gut microbiota, potentially worsening outcomes. To evaluate the extent with which trauma affects the gut microbiota composition, we performed a post hoc analysis of a murine model of polytrauma and hemorrhage. Four hours after injury, organs and plasma samples were collected, and the diversity and composition of the cecal microbiome were evaluated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Although cecal microbial alpha diversity and microbial community composition were not found to be different between experimental groups, norepinephrine support in shock animals resulted in increased alpha diversity, as indicated by higher numbers of distinct microbial features. We observed that the concentrations of proinflammatory mediators in plasma and intestinal tissue were associated with measures of microbial alpha and beta diversity and the presence of specific microbial drivers of inflammation, suggesting that the composition of the gut microbiome at the time of trauma, or shortly after trauma exposure, may play an important role in determining physiological outcomes. In conclusion, we found associations between measures of gut microbial alpha and beta diversity and the severity of systemic and local gut inflammation. Furthermore, our data suggest that four hours following injury is too early for development of global changes in the alpha diversity or community composition of the intestinal microbiome. Future investigations with increased temporal-spatial resolution are needed in order to fully elucidate the effects of trauma and shock on the gut microbiome, biological signatures of inflammation, and proximal and distal outcomes.
Mid-life women and the search for self in work.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Women's Studies.

description: In this qualitative study, five stories of work meaning are explored. Grounded in phenomenology and guided by a constructivist, feminist perspective, its purpose was to describe how mid-life women subjectively understood, interpreted and defined work meaning, after a voluntary transition to work---in either paid or non-paid arenas---which held more personal significance. Following Seidman's (1998) tenets for in-depth phenomenological interviewing, the sessions enabled the women to expand upon the conversational narrative (Kvale, 1984, 1996; Ochs, 1997). The existential dimensions of lived time, lived space, lived body and lived relation provided a systematic structure for developing a thematic textual understanding. Descriptions and interpretations of the women's mosaic and metaphoric accounts were woven together with the researcher's own experience in a narrative structure, revealing everyday, ordinary aspects of work meaning. The analysis uncovered several themes concerning metamorphosis, re-discovery and reclaimed purpose. The results indicated perspectives which coincide with some aspects of both traditional theories of adult development and relational theories of female development. Where they denote a difference is in the centrality of work as a construct that has greater continuing meaning for women's individual psychological development and identity than traditional concepts of mid-life maintenance and decline have allowed. The women in the study did not separate work and enjoyment, and pursued personal meaning and emotional, artistic and intellectual self-fulfillment through work as a way of integrating categories of identity. They were living consciously, activated by an appropriate use of self. By giving voice to this under-represented group, the study makes the work meanings of mid-life women intelligible to educators, career development practitioners and policy makers.
Properties of the resting membrane potential in central myelinated axons during normoxic conditions and metabolic inhibition.
Creators: name: Leppanen, Lisa Livia.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Biology, Neuroscience.

description: Compound resting membrane potential was studied in the rat optic nerve, a representative model of myelinated CNS axons, using the grease gap recording technique which measures a reliable fraction of the true intra-axonal potential. Studies were performed during (1) normoxic conditions, (2) glycolytic inhibition, or (3) chemical anoxia at 37$\sp\circ$C, in order to characterize ions and channels promoting membrane depolarization. Ouabain, an antagonist of Na$\sp+$,K$\sp+$-ATPase, caused strong depolarization, showing that membrane potential is critically dependent on Na$\sp+$,K$\sp+$-ATPase. In addition, inhibiting energy metabolism during ouabain exposure produced further depolarization, suggesting additional ATP-dependent, ouabain-insensitive ion transport systems. Glycolysis was blocked with iodoacetate or deoxyglucose, evoking a response consisting of four distinct phases. An initial transient hyperpolarization (phase 1) preceded a rapid depolarizing response (phase 2). Phase 2 was interrupted by a second brief hyperpolarization (phase 3) which was followed by a gradual depolarization (phase 3). Chemical anoxia (cyanide) immediately depolarized the nerve, with only a small inflection introducing a final slow depolarizing response. Addition of ouabain to cyanide-treated nerves caused an additional depolarization indicating a minor glycolytic contribution to Na$\sp+$,K$\sp+$-ATPase, which seems preferentially fueled by mitochondrial ATP in optic nerve. Hyperpolarizing phases 1 and 3 induced by iodoacetate exposure and the inflection during cyanide treatment were abolished by zero-Ca$\sp{2+}$/EGTA treatment. Block of Na$\sp+$ channels with tetrodotoxin, the local anesthetics, procaine or QX-314, or replacement of Na$\sp+$ with the impermeant cation choline significantly reduced depolarization during iodoacetate or cyanide application, indicating that axonal membrane depolarization requires Na$\sp+$ influx which secondarily allows electroneutral K$\sp+$ efflux and depolarization.

description: Scope Previous work identified three metabolically homogeneous subgroups of individuals (“metabotypes”) using k-means cluster analysis based on fasting serum levels of triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and glucose. The aim is to reproduce these findings and describe metabotype groups by dietary habits and by incident disease occurrence. Methods and results 1744 participants from the KORA F4 study and 2221 participants from the KORA FF4 study are assigned to the three metabotype clusters previously identified by minimizing the Euclidean distances. In both KORA studies, the assignment of participants results in three metabolically distinct clusters, with cluster 3 representing the group of participants with the most unfavorable metabolic characteristics. Individuals of cluster 3 are further characterized by the highest incident disease occurrence during follow-up; they also reveal the most unfavorable diet with significantly lowest intakes of vegetables, dairy products, and fibers, and highest intakes of total, red, and processed meat. Conclusion The three metabotypes originally identified in an Irish population are successfully reproduced. In addition to this validation approach, the observed differences in disease incidence across metabotypes represent an important new finding that strongly supports the metabotyping approach as a tool for risk stratification.

description: Clostridium acetobutylicum is able to switch from acidogenic growth to solventogenic growth. We used phosphate-limited continuous cultures that established acidogenic growth at pH 5.8 and solventogenic growth at pH 4.5. These cultures allowed a detailed transcriptomic study of the switch from acidogenesis to solventogenesis that is not superimposed by sporulation and other growth phase-dependent parameters. These experiments led to new insights into the physiological role of several genes involved in solvent formation. The adc gene for acetone decarboxylase is upregulated well before the rest of the sol locus during the switch, and pyruvate decarboxylase is induced exclusively for the period of this switch. The aldehyde-alcohol dehydrogenase gene adhE1 located in the sol operon is regulated antagonistically to the paralog adhE2 that is expressed during acidogenic conditions. A similar antagonistic pattern can be seen with the two paralogs of thiolase genes, thlA and thlB. Interestingly, the genes coding for the putative cellulosome in C. acetobutylicum are exclusively transcribed throughout solventogenic growth. The genes for stress response are only induced during the shift but not in the course of solventogenesis when butanol is present in the culture. Finally, the data clearly indicate that solventogenesis is independent from sporulation. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

description: Les recherches sur les reves presentent des resultats contradictoires quant a l'impact du stress de l'eveil sur l'imagerie onirique et la fonction adaptative des reves. L'etude compare le contenu des reves survenus au cours d'une periode de stress et d'une periode controle. Trente-cinq femmes agees de 19 a 21 ans ont note leurs reves pendant une periode de preparation d'un ou plusieurs examens et une periode sans examen. L'analyse des reves comportait six mesures: l'incorporation du stresseur, le niveau de stress, les emotions negatives, les strategies d'adaptation, le succes et l'echec. Les resultats n'ont revele aucune difference significative entre les reves de la periode d'examens et ceux de la periode controle; les reves qui incorporent l'examen ne sont pas significativement differents de ceux qui ne l'incorporent pas. Toutefois, les participantes qui ont eu des reves d'incorporation different de celles qui n'en ont pas eu quant aux strategies d'adaptation de l'eveil. De plus, une relation positive a ete observee entre la strategie d'adaptation recadrage positif de l'eveil et les strategies d'adaptation dans les reves d'incorporation. Aucune relation n'a ete constatee entre le niveau de stress du matin et le contenu des reves. Les resultats sont discutes dans le cadre des perspectives de la continuite et de la mai trise.

description: The liver, through the production of iron hormone hepcidin, controls body iron levels. High liver iron levels and deregulated hepcidin expression are commonly observed in many liver diseases including highly prevalent genetic iron overload disorders. In spite of a number of breakthrough investigations into the signals that control hepcidin expression, little progress has been made towards investigations into intracellular signaling in the liver under excess of iron. This study examined hepatic signaling pathways underlying acquired and genetic iron overload conditions. Our data demonstrate that hepatic iron overload associates with a decline in the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) kinase (Mek1/2) pathway by selectively a ecting the phosphorylation of Erk1/2. We propose that Mek1/2-Erk1/2 signaling is uncoupled from iron-Bmp-Smad-mediated hepcidin induction and that it may contribute to a number of liver pathologies in addition to toxic e ects of iron. We believe that our findings will advance the understanding of cellular signaling events in the liver during iron overload of di erent etiologies.

description: The use of concentrated aprotic electrolytes in lithium batteries provides numerous potential applications, including the use of high-voltage cathodes and Li-metal anodes. In this paper, we aim at understanding the effect of salt concentration on the variation of the Li/Li+ Quasi-Reference Electrode (QRE) potential in Tetraglyme (TG)-based electrolytes. Comparing the obtained results to those achieved using Dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO-based electrolytes, we are now able to take a step forward and understand how the effect of solvent coordination and its donor number (DN) is attributed to the Li-QRE potential shift. Using a revised Nernst equation, the alteration of the Li redox potential with salt concentration was determined accurately. It is found that, in TG, the Li-QRE shift follows a different trend than in DMSO owing to the lower DN and expected shorter lifespan of the solvated cation complex.
Le développement du système scolaire public catholique de Hull, Québec, 1900-1930.

description: Cette these etudie le developpement et le fonctionnement d'un systeme scolaire local au Quebec, en l'occurrence, celui de la ville de Hull, au cours des trente premieres annees du XXieme siecle. A la lumiere de la Loi de l'Instruction publique et des Reglements du Comite catholique du Conseil de l'Instruction publique, nous observerons le degre d'autonomie que possede une commission scolaire locale au sein du systeme scolaire public catholique de la province et ce, sur quatre points principaux soit: la construction et la reparation des batiments scolaires de Hull; l'administration financiere de la commission scolaire; la gestion de son corps enseignant; l'application du programme d'etudes. Le choix du systeme scolaire de Hull se justifie de plusieurs facons: premierement, Hull, a cette epoque, connai t des transformations economiques, industrielles et demographiques qui marqueront son developpement ulterieur; deuxiemement, bien que deja implantee, l'infrastructure scolaire de la ville connai t a son tour, un developpement fort important, alors qu'elle voit, entre autre, le nombre d'ecoles et d'eleves inscrits aux classes doubles; troisiemement, il appert que l'etude de l'experience scolaire au niveau local connai t certaines lacunes, exception faite du cas de Montreal, nous tenterons, bien modestement, de remedier a cette situation; quatriemement, l'histoire de la ville de Hull et de son systeme scolaire reste largement a ecrire. Nous essayerons alors d'y apporter notre contribution. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Subjects: subject: Canadian Studies.

description: Cette these analyse le discours de cinq organisations autochtones a travers les memoires soumis au comite permanent de la Chambre des communes sur les affaires autochtones. La periode d'analyse se situe entre 1984 et 1993. L'auteur essaie d'identifier la presence d'un nouveau paradigme qui emerge dans les domaines des affaires indiennes dans le discours de cinq organisations autochtones. L'auteur conclut que, bien que le nouveau paradigme soit omnipresent, des elements de l'ancien paradigme sont profondement ancres dans le discours des cinq organisations autochtones.
