UNA LINGUA “SECONDA E ADOTTIVA”. L’ITALIANO DELLE SECONDE GENERAZIONI
Creators: name: Favaro, Graziella
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2011

description: Si assiste nella scuola italiana  ad un cambiamento  importante che riguarda i bambini e i ragazzi stranieri inseriti: aumentano di anno in anno  coloro che sono nati in Italia e che entrano nel sistema scolastico  nei tempi e modi comuni ai coetanei autoctoni  mentre  diminuisce il numero di  coloro che arrivano qui dal paese d’origine per ricongiungersi ai famigliari. Ma come parlano i bambini stranieri nati in Italia ? Quali caratteristiche interlinguistiche ha l’italiano dei “futuri cittadini”? Una ricerca osservativa  ha coinvolto alcuni  bambini stranieri di cinque anni inseriti nella scuola dell'infanzia  e ha  cercato di  descrivere l’italiano delle  seconde generazioni, tra esitazioni, silenzi, conquiste e  creatività linguistica.     A “second and adopted” language. Second generation Italian speakers.   In Italian schools there is an important change which regards foreign children enrolled: every year there are more and more of them who were born in Italy and they enter the school system following the same rhythms as their native classmates while fewer and fewer foreigners arrive from their home countries to reunite with their families.  How do foreign children, born in Italy, speak?  What interlinguistic characteristics does the Italian spoken by these “future citizens” have?  This observational study focused on some foreign 5-year-old children in Italian preschools and attempted to describe the language used by these second-generation speakers, between hesitations, silences, achievements and linguistic creativity.

Exploring the scope of practice of the Clinical Forensic Nurse Practitioner in Australia
Creators: name: Middleton, Mary
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2013
Subjects: Clinical Forensic Nurse Practitioner
scope of practice

description: Specialised areas of nursing have developed in response to the needs of society. This study evolved due to a lack of understanding and knowledge about the role of a Clinical Forensic Nurse/ Nurse Practitioner by members of the health profession, law enforcement agencies and the general public as well as the potential scope of practice for this occupation. A Grounded Theory approach has been used, utilising contributions from nurses, doctors and others involved in the care of forensic clients across Australia. Clinical Forensic Nurses work in hospitals, clinics and the community but often in isolation from other forensic nurses. Grounded theory was selected because it is useful when little is known or experienced about a situation and is able to identify factors that may define and explain this evolving sub-speciality. Subjects from various positions within Departments of Emergency Medicine, Medical Forensic Units and the State Police Force gave their consent to participate. They were located in various states and territories of Australia and one was employed as a lecturer at a major tertiary institution. The participants were diverse yet had the common characteristic of being employed in clinical forensic practice. Data collection involved interviews, observation and document analysis. Using constant comparative analysis, the findings identified a number of barriers and opportunities for the role of the Clinical Forensic Nurse Practitioner in Australia. Social change and demands have historically informed changes to the roles of nurses in Australia. As society changes and demands on the present health care delivery develop different emphasis, there is potential for increased frequency of providing care for and supporting victims and perpetrators of crime that have legal and forensic implications 'on the front line' of care. This care is developed on informed decision making so that the patients' health, civil, legal and human rights are met.
GLI ERRORI DI ITALIANO L1 ED L2: INTERFERENZA E APPRENDIMENTO

description: Si può oggi affrontare il tema degli errori di italiano da una prospettiva che possa giovare contemporaneamente a docenti di italiano L1 ed L2? Noi pensiamo di sì: la ricerca glottodidattica sembra aver ormai apprestato un terreno comune alle due situazioni di apprendimento, sgombrando il campo da vecchi pregiudizi e distinzioni che appaiono ormai superate. Attraverso la contrapposizione di concetti quali “lingua parlata/lingua scritta”,  “errori di lingua / errori di linguaggio”, “apprendimento spontaneo/apprendimento guidato”, “italiano L1/italiano L2”, “errori di apprendimento/errori di interferenza, si indicano diversi criteri per la interpretazione degli errori e la loro valutazione in relazione alle cause, alle situazioni comunicative, ai contesti o allo stadio di evoluzione dell’apprendimento della lingua.     Errors in italian L1 and L2: interference and learning   Can errors in Italian be approached in a way that benefits both L1 and L2 Italian teachers? We believe so: glottodidactic research seems to have prepared a common terrain for these two learning situations, clearing the field of old prejudices and obsolete distinctions.  Through the juxtaposition of concepts like “spoken language/written language”, “language errors/speech errors”, “spontaneous learning/guided learning”, “L1 Italian/L2 Italian”, “learning errors/interference errors”, different criteria for interpreting errors and evaluating them in relation to their causes, to communicative situations, to contexts and the developmental state in learning a language are singled out.

Experimental Study on the Engineering Properties of Gelfill

description: Gelfill (GF) is made of tailings, water, binder and chemical additives (Fillset, sodium silicate gel). The components of GF are combined and mixed on the surface and transported (by gravity and/or pumping) to the underground mine workings, where the GF can be used for both underground mine support and tailings storage. Thermal (T), hydraulic (H), and mechanical (M) properties are important performance criteria of GF. The understanding of these engineering properties and their evolution with time are still limited due to the fact that GF is a new cemented backfill material. In this thesis, the evolution of the thermal, hydraulic, mechanical, and microstructural properties of small GF samples are determined. Various binder contents of Portland cement type I (PCI) are used. The GF is cured for 3, 7, 28, 90, and 120 days. It is found that the thermal, hydraulic and mechanical properties are time-dependent or affected by the degree of binder hydration index. Furthermore, a relationship is found between the compressive strength and the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the GF samples. The unsaturated hydraulic properties of GF samples have also been investigated. The outcomes show that unsaturated hydraulic conductivity is influenced by the degree of binder hydration index and binder content, especially at low suction ranges. Simple functions are proposed to predict the evolution of air-entry values (AEVs), residual water content, and fitting parameters from the van Genuchten model with the degree of hydration index (α). Furthermore, two columns are built to simulate the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of GF under drained and undrained conditions. The obtained results from the GF columns are compared with the small samples. It is observed that the mechanical properties, hydraulic properties (suction and water content), and temperature development are strongly coupled. The magnitude of these THM coupling factors is affected by the size of the GF. The findings also show that the mechanical, hydraulic and thermal properties of the GF columns are different from samples cured in plastic moulds.

description: Background: Several lines of evidence suggest that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) reduces Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk by decreasing vascular beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and inflammation, however, the mechanisms by which HDL improve cerebrovascular functions relevant to AD remain poorly understood. Methods: Here we use a human bioengineered model of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) to define several mechanisms by which HDL reduces Aβ deposition within the vasculature and attenuates endothelial inflammation as measured by monocyte binding. Results: We demonstrate that HDL reduces vascular Aβ accumulation independently of its principal binding protein, scavenger receptor (SR)-BI, in contrast to the SR-BI-dependent mechanism by which HDL prevents Aβ-induced vascular inflammation. We describe multiple novel mechanisms by which HDL acts to reduce CAA, namely: i) altering Aβ binding to collagen-I, ii) forming a complex with Aβ that maintains its solubility, iii) lowering collagen-I protein levels produced by smooth-muscle cells (SMC), and iv) attenuating Aβ uptake into SMC that associates with reduced low density lipoprotein related protein 1 (LRP1) levels. Furthermore, we show that HDL particles enriched in apolipoprotein (apo)E appear to be the major drivers of these effects, providing new insights into the peripheral role of apoE in AD, in particular, the fraction of HDL that contains apoE. Conclusion: The findings in this study identify new mechanisms by which circulating HDL, particularly HDL particles enriched in apoE, may provide vascular resilience to Aβ and shed new light on a potential role of peripherally-acting apoE in AD.
Feedforward postural adjustments associated with a goal-directed reach produced by infants in the sitting and standing positions.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Neuroscience.

description: Two mechanisms of postural control, feedback and feedforward, are implicated for the maintenance of independent sitting and standing postures. More specifically, feedback mechanisms encompass all postural reactions produced to maintain equilibrium in response to an unexpected perturbation. Perturbations induced by a voluntary movement are controlled by feedforward mechanisms. The purpose of this study is to characterize feedforward postural adjustments produced by infants in the sitting and standing positions. Twenty-two infants between the ages of 5 to 18 months were tested using a goal-directed reach paradigm. Infants were separated in two behavioral groups, sitters and creepers. Surface electromyography, center of pressure displacement and video data were collected. Sitters and creepers showed no consistent patterns of postural muscle activation or differences in postural muscle onset latencies. Compared to sitters, creepers showed a greater proportion of trials with more than one postural muscle activated (p < .05) and reached more slowly (p < .05) in the sitting position. A descriptive analysis of the data revealed a large number of trials with tonic postural muscle activity in both the sitters and creepers group. In the creepers group, however, more phasic postural muscle activity was noted. It is possible that infants initially use tonic postural muscle activity to "stiffen" the body and maintain their balance. As they mature and gain experience in the sitting and standing positions, infants develop more phasic postural muscle activity. The reduction in reaching speed in the creepers group may be an early movement strategy used to minimize the self-induced perturbation caused by goal-directed reaching.

description: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) such as neck and shoulder pain is high in computer users (Cook, Burgess-Limerick, & Chang, 2000; Griffiths, Mackey, Adamson, & Pepper, 2012; Mohammad, Hamza, & ElSais, 2015; Mohan, Justine, Jagannathan, Bt Aminudin, & Bt Johari, 2015). Although much attention is given to reducing MSD through a range of workplace programs, our efforts have met with inconsistent outcomes (Brewer et al., 2006; Kennedy et al., 2010). Posture is considered to be an independent risk factor of modest magnitude for MSDs among computer users (Ariëns et al., 2001; Cote et al., 2009; Gerr, Marcus, & Monteilh, 2004). Given the relationship between posture and MSD, exploring new strategies to modify postural behaviour in computer users is warranted.

Dawn raids, international intrigue lie beneath Australia's submarine strategy
Creators: name: Roos, Goran
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: It is not often that we witness strategic design in action, for the benefit of national security and economic growth. The challenges of translating good ideas into meaningful acts can be too great and the courage required to run the gauntlet of media reaction and public opinion can be lacking. In the case of Australia's future submarine program, the increasing evidence can be interpreted in such a way to suggest that the Coalition and the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) may have performed a well-executed feat of strategic manoeuvre. It was always known that Australia would need a design partner to support the construction and maintenance of its next fleet of submarines. The experience acquired through the Collins Class program - and the lessons learned - put Australian industry in a leading position to take on a manufacturing and sustainment role, but a design partner was always necessary.
An Integrative Approach to Assessing Diet–Cancer Relationships
Creators: name: Murphy, Rachel Anne
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2020

description: The relationship between diet and cancer is often viewed with skepticism by the public and health professionals, despite a considerable body of evidence and general consistency in recommendations over the past decades. A systems biology approach which integrates ‘omics’ data including metabolomics, genetics, metagenomics, transcriptomics and proteomics holds promise for developing a better understanding of how diet affects cancer and for improving the assessment of diet through biomarker discovery thereby renewing confidence in diet–cancer links. This review discusses the application of multi-omics approaches to studies of diet and cancer. Considerations and challenges that need to be addressed to facilitate the investigation of diet–cancer relationships with multi-omic approaches are also discussed.
The role of feelings in informed consent: An application of Bernard Lonergan's work on affect and cognition.
Creators: name: Markwell, Hazel Joyce.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Religion, General.

description: Without the unprecedented progress which was experienced in the medical sciences during the last 150 years, it is unlikely that the legal doctrine of informed consent would have arisen. As a result of the advances and treatment innovations, claims against physicians became more common. The legal doctrine arose out of the realization that it was unethical to exclude the patient from choices concerning his/her treatment. As such it was paradigmatic of a relationship between the law and morality, in which morality informs the law and not vice-versa. However, this attempt at addressing an ethical issue by using the law as a guide and the ensuing shift in focus from trust in the physician's beneficence to the rights, autonomy and self-determination of the patient has created another problem in that it has strengthened the alienating behaviour common to many physicians, that of talking at patients rather than with them. The legal doctrine of informed consent has become an overly bureaucratic, impersonal, legal document which fails to adequately consider the highly personal nature of the physician-patient professional relationship. Further, the malaise in the doctrine of informed consent not only has implications for the practice of medicine but also for the authenticity of the human person, since, from an ethical and moral theological perspective, consent (from the Latin consentire---to feel or sense with) touches the entirety of the human subject as a person endowed with freedom, rationality and feelings. Given the integrity of the human person as a combination of both intellect and affect, consent as an expression of the combined faculties of reason and feelings implies a far more significant human action than a verbal expression or a written word. It is essentially a dynamic process of ongoing decision making which precludes its being limited to a mere rational-cognitive perspective. It is the hypothesis of this thesis that if feelings are interpreted and included in the process of decision making in the way in which Bernard Lonergan suggests, we could not only rehabilitate the doctrine of informed consent to a patient-focussed experience but we might also transform it into an effective therapeutic tool that is capable of encouraging human authenticity and enhancing the physician-patient relationship. In attempting to provide a new framework for informed consent, this thesis attempts to reshape the process of discourse. Since the expression of the affective has cultural variations, it has implications not only for personal authenticity, but also for societal transformation. This thesis will be both an analytical argument delving into the structure of informed consent and an attempt at formulating a new foundation for consent which blends the theological with the medico-legal.

description: The Indonesian Province of Papua is a diverse region that is both multicultural and multilingual, with more than 275 distinct indigenous ethnic groups speaking more than 275 local languages. The diversity of Papua has been described in terms of socio-cultural levels: urban, rural, and remote (Modouw, 2013). Communities living in urban areas have for some time been adapting to modern life circumstances. Those living in rural settings are still developing kampong/village community structures through agriculture, farming and fishing, and those living in remote areas are still living very simple lives as hunters-gatherers within their communities. From the perspective of school education for indigenous students, each of these socio-cultural levels suggests different accommodations of national curriculum implementation and pedagogy to match the communities’ current levels of development towards modernisation, while recognising their distinctive social and cultural traditions and practices.
description: The research questions explored the culturally-based learning needs of students with an indigenous heritage in Papua. The study examined relationships between national objectives and practices for formal schooling and how these interacted with the range of diversity found among indigenous Papuan students and their communities. Conceptualisations were framed about how education in this part of Indonesia could be more inclusive and engaging for indigenous students and their communities.

The Use of Inertial Sensor Technology to Assess Gait Characteristics

Year: 2010
Subjects: inertial sensor
accelerometer
gait

description: Human gait has often been assessed using technology to assist in accurate analysis. While a laboratory environment can provide comprehensive analysis, it is not always appropriate or at times, can be restrictive in assessment due attempts to simulate real life situations. An alternative to laboratory based technologies may be the use of microtechnology in the form of inertial sensors. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the novel use of a single inertial sensor positioned at the first vertebra of the sacrum to record vertical, anteroposterior, and mediolateral accelerations. This positioning was to develop inertial sensor applications for different gait velocities (walking, race-walking, and running). This was achieved by utilising the methodology of three dimensional space (three orthogonal planes) for accuracy of inertial sensors when assessing gait events and centre of mass accelerations.
Rethinking social phenotypes: personality, plasticity and the effects of the social environment on the social behaviour of eastern water dragons

description: Social interactions between conspecifics are important agents of selection for individuals. Moreover, the potential costs and benefits of sociality will be heavily dependent on the current environmental conditions and, in particular, the composition and identity of conspecifics contained within the social environment. As a result, an individual's social environment presents a complex and dynamic set of selective pressures, such as social conflict and competition, through which gregarious animals must navigate. In addition, there are multiple ways that individuals may engage in affiliative social behaviour, all of which may be optimal in different situations. To understand how animals negotiate the selective pressures which the social environment enacts, research focussed on the relationship between the social environment and individuals' affiliative behaviours is needed. In this thesis, I use data from an ongoing longitudinal study of eastern water dragons to explore the relationship between individuals' social behaviours and their social environment. Eastern water dragons are a gregarious reptile with fission-fusion-like social dynamics. Females are polyandrous and males display alternative mating tactics, plastically switching between territoriality and satellite mating behaviour.

assessment

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the viability of Structural Assessment of Knowledge (SAK) as a tool for identifying alternative conceptions and for predicting domain performance in Physics. The process begins by eliciting and then representing students‘ knowledge. One of these types of knowledge is conceptual knowledge, which is important for performing procedural tasks. This thesis employs a cognitively based theoretical framework to uncover students‘ knowledge, and then represents that knowledge for analytical purposes using SAK. SAK uses the Pathfinder algorithm to empirically derive the semantic networks of the students‘ and experts‘ cognitive structures, by asking them both to rate the relatedness of pairs of physics terms. Comparing students‘ and experts‘ knowledge structures provided some support for the structural assessment theory. In particular, supporting evidence that Pathfinder networks help in predicting student‘s problem solving capabilities was attained.

description: Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology has become increasingly attractive because of the strong light confinement, which significantly reduces the footprint of the photonic components, and the possibility of monolithically integrating advanced photonic waveguide circuits with complex electronic circuits, which may reduce the cost of photonic integrated circuits by mass production. This thesis is dedicated to numerical simulation and experimental performance measurement of passive SOI waveguide devices. The thesis consists of two main parts. In the first part, SOI curved waveguide and corner turning mirror are studied. Propagation losses of the SOI waveguide devices are accurately measured using a Fabry-Perot interference method. Our measurements verify that the SOI corner turning mirror structures can not only significantly reduce the footprint size, but also reduce the access loss by replacing the curved sections in any SOI planar lightwave circuit systems. In the second part, an optical 90o hybrid based on 4 × 4 multimode interference (MMI) coupler is studied. Its quadrature phase behavior is verified by both numerical simulations and experimental measurements.

Foamed Bitumen Base (FBB) can be produced in-situ, by a specialised stabilising train, or ex-situ in a pugmill. However, regardless of the production process used in the field, the same laboratory production process and accelerated curing regime is applied for mix design and characterisation purposes. Although foamed bitumen technology has been used in Australia since the 1960s, there remain numerous areas of the mix design and stabilisation process that require development and better understanding. This partly reflects the fact that the mix design for FBS in Australia differs from processes used internationally. Two key areas requiring further development for Australian applications of FBS are; understanding the differences that occur between laboratory production, insitu field production and ex-situ field production processes and evaluating the representativeness of the curing methodology applied to laboratory produced foamed bitumen stabilised materials. This is particularly important for foamed bitumen stabilised materials in Australia where the mix design process is commonly required to achieve a minimum material modulus that is relied upon for structural pavement design. In this case, measuring laboratory modulus values that are representative of field conditions is critical. This research produced otherwise nominally identical FBB using laboratory, in-situ and ex-situ processes and identified significant differences in the Indirect Tensile Modulus (ITM) values and other material properties. For example, the laboratory produced materials achieved cured ITM values of approximately 10,000MPa, while the field mixtures achieved cured ITM of just 3,600MPa to 5,000MPa for the same curing period and conditions. Additionally, compared to ex-situ production, the in-situ process produced material was more variable across a production run. The research also compared the same FBB characteristics after accelerated laboratory curing to a simulated in-pavement curing regime. It was concluded that accelerated laboratory curing was more representative of 20-30 days of in-pavement curing, rather than the intended medium (3-6 month) term curing condition. It is therefore recommended that further research focus on adjusting laboratory production and curing protocols to ensure that field conditions are adequately represented. These findings benefit the pavement industry by highlighting that the Australian laboratory characterisation process for FBS is not representative of field conditions, and as such, there are process changes required to ensure that future FBB is fit for purpose, efficient and sustainable.

description: Ultra wide band (UWB) is an extremely promising wireless technology for researchers and industrials. One of the most interesting is its high data rate and fading robustness due to selective frequency fading. However, beside such advantages, UWB system performance is highly affected by existing narrowband interference (NBI), undesired UWB signals and tone/multi-tone noises. For this reason, research about NBI cancellation is still a challenge to improve the system performance vs. receiver complexity, power consumption, linearity, etc. In this work, the two major receiver sections, i.e., analog (radiofrequency or RF) and digital (digital signal processing or DSP), were considered and new techniques proposed to reduce circuit complexity and power consumption, while improving signal parameters. In the RF section, different multiband UWB low-noise amplifier key design parameters were investigated like circuit configuration, input matching and desired/undesired frequency band filtering, highlighting the most suitable filtering package for efficient UWB NBI cancellation. In the DSP section, due to pulse transmitter signals, different issues like modulation type and level, pulse variety, shape and color noise/tone noise assumptions, were addressed for efficient NBI cancelation. A comparison was performed in terms of bit-error rate, signal-to-interference ratio, signal-to-noise ratio, and channel capacity to highlight the most suitable parameters for efficient DSP design. The optimum number of filters that allows the filter bandwidth to be reduced by following the required low sampling rate and thus improving the system bit error rate was also investigated.

A wide-field investigation into the HI content of galaxies
Creators: name: Denes, Helga
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In my thesis I am investigating how the stellar content of galaxies relate to their gaseous component and the mechanisms that can transform a gas rich galaxy into a gas poor galaxy. The atomic hydrogen gas in galaxies is important, because it is the fuel for future star formation and so it is the lifeblood of a galaxy. My thesis provides new insight into gas poor galaxies and the mechanisms that are responsible for gas removal in galaxy groups.

description: Increasing the number of people who complete tertiary education, particularly among traditionally disadvantaged groups, is a priority for governments in Australia and internationally. The massification of higher education has seen a growth in people commencing tertiary education who are from social groups that have not traditionally attended university. Those without the requisite academic background can enrol via tertiary bridging programs in order to develop the required skills and knowledge. Satellite campuses in regional areas also support the enrolment of non-traditional students by bringing the university to the students. Using a phenomenographic approach, this research investigates the ways in which students experience a tertiary bridging program at a satellite campus of a regional university. The research report presents the aspects of the experience that were important to the participants by identifying the structural aspects of the experience, and creating descriptive categories in an outcome space. The research concludes that students experience the program in ways analogous to a stairway, which must be climbed, a doorway, which must be passed through, or a hallway, which offers opportunities for exploration along the journey. Some reflections on the use of phenomenography for this investigation are also included.
Numerical Simulations of Detonation Re-initiation Behind an Obstacle

Subjects: Detonation re-initiation

description: This numerical study explored the mechanisms responsible for the re-initiation of a detonation, which quenched while diffracting over a half-cylinder obstacle. Its purpose was to accurately predict when detonation re-initiations occur, determine roles of re-initiation mechanisms, and compare effects of chemical models. The model used reactive Euler equations with the one-step Arrhenius or two-step chain-branching chemical models, calibrated to post-shock conditions to reproduce the ignition delay. Simulations were validated using the stoichiometric methane-oxygen experiments of Bhattacharjee et al.. The model accurately predicted detonation re-initiation conditions found in experiments with good qualitative and quantitative agreement. While the one-step model was sufficient in predicting re-initiation, the two-step model reproduced finer details. Kelvin-Helmholtz and Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities did not appear to influence detonation re-initiation of the Mach stem. Detonation re-initiation occurred due to adiabatic compression of the Mach stem, or transport of a flame along the wall jet. Transverse detonations were poorly reproduced.
Enhancing the Delivery of Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus to the Tumors of Hosts with Pre-Existing Immunity

description: Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have begun to show their promise in the clinical setting, however these results have been predominantly associated with loco-regional administration of virus. The treatment of metastatic disease necessitates a systemic approach to virus delivery. The circulatory system, though, is a hostile environment for viruses and the advantages associated with intravenous (IV) delivery come at a heavy cost that must be understood and brokered. Pre-existing immunity, specifically through the function of antibody and complement, poses a significant hurdle to the IV delivery of infectious virus to dispersed tumor beds. This is of particular importance for therapeutic vaccinia viruses as a majority of today’s cancer patients were vaccinated during the smallpox eradication campaign. In vitro neutralization assays of oncolytic vaccinia virus demonstrated that the antibodies elicited from smallpox vaccination, and also the anamnestic response in patients undergoing Pexa-Vec treatment, was minimally neutralizing in the absence of functional complement. Accordingly, in a Fischer rat model, complement depletion stabilized virus in the blood of pre-immunized hosts and correlated with improved delivery to mammary adenocarcinoma tumors. Complement depletion additionally enhanced infection of tumors following direct intratumoral injection of virus. The feasibility and safety of using a complement inhibitor, CP40, was tested in a cynomolgus macaque model. Immune animals saw an average 10-fold increase in infectious virus titer at an early point after the infusion, and a prolongation of the time during which infectious virus was still detectable in the blood. We have also demonstrated that vaccinia virus engages in promiscuous interactions with cells in the blood and that these interactions may be partially complement-dependent. Additionally, we have translated this complement inhibition approach to other OV candidates and found that reovirus, measles virus and a virus pseudo typed with the LCMV glycoprotein all elicit antibodies, that to some degree, are dependent on complement activation to neutralize their target viruses. We show here that capitalizing on the complement dependence of anti-viral antibody with adjunct complement inhibitors may increase the effective dose to enable successful delivery of multiple rounds of OV in immune hosts.
