Connexin-mediated regulation of gliogenesis

description: Connexin (Cx) proteins are important in coordinating neural progenitor cell behaviour. Here, we show hippocampal-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) express a wide and novel repertoire of Cxs when cultured in vitro. This repertoire can be modulated by exposure to the extracellular matrix component laminin which translates into functional changes in Cx-mediated signaling within hippocampal NPCs and their progeny. Novel localization of Cx29 to NPC-derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in these cultures prompted us to investigate what role Cx29 may have in maintenance, proliferation and specification of OPCs to oligodendrocytes in the hippocampus. Using a loss-of-function approach, we show loss of Cx29 results in reduced OPC and oligodendrocyte numbers with a concomitant increase in astrocyte number. However, investigation of Cx29 in vivo, which also shows localization to OPCs and oligodendrocytes, reveals the role of Cx29 in oligodendrocyte specification may be overridden by the additional cues present in the microenvironment as an increase in NG2+ OPC proliferation is observed. However, the effect on astrocyte proliferation is likely cell intrinsic because increased astrocyte proliferation is maintained in vivo. Closer examination of the hippocampal OPC population further indicates Cx32 but not Cx47 is expressed by subsets of OPCs while Cx47 is restricted to mature oligodendrocytes. Similar to the loss of Cx29, the loss of Cx32 in vivo results in increased proliferation of NG2 + OPCs. These data can be reconciled by the novel finding that Cx29 and Cx32 likely have complementary roles in the regulation of OPC proliferation and specification and can mutually compensate for the loss of the other connexin in the OPC subpopulations of null-mutant mice. Modulation of these Cxs may thus result in new therapeutic approaches to the treatment of diseases where oligodendrocytes are primarily affected such as multiple sclerosis and where augmenting progenitor cell specification is a viable treatment option.

Signal reconstruction from incomplete and misplaced measurements

description: Constrained by practical and economical considerations, one often uses seismic data with missing traces. The use of such data results in image artifacts and poor spatial resolution. Sometimes due to practical limitations, measurements may be available on a perturbed grid, instead of on the designated grid. Due to algorithmic requirements, when such measurements are viewed as those on the designated grid, the recovery procedures may result in additional artifacts. This paper interpolates incomplete data onto regular grid via the Fourier domain, using a recently developed greedy algorithm. The basic objective is to study experimentally as to what could be the size of the perturbation in measurement coordinates that allows for the measurements on the perturbed grid to be considered as on the designated grid for faithful recovery. Our experimental work shows that for compressible signals, a uniformly distributed perturbation can be offset with slightly more number of measurements.

description: Pocosins are depressional wetlands maintained by fire. Plants in fire adapted systems can use a variety of mechanisms for survival and recruitment. I examined the seed bank response to fire (500 to 700 °C) and wet heat treatments (50 and 75 °C) in a Virginia small depression pocosin. I quantified seedling abundance, richness, and Sphagnum density. Extant vegetation was sampled with a nested plot design at each seed bank sampling area. The seed flora was compared with the extant vegetation at three size classes with Sorenson similarity values. Data from the fire treatment indicates that a simulated drought burn may eliminate the seed bank. No significant seedling abundance, richness, or evenness effects were detectable among wet heat and control groups. Wet heat and control groups were pooled to describe the seed flora. Total seed bank density was 6,209 seedlings/m2 and richness was 11. The seed bank was dominated by Scirpus cyperinus (97.8 %), contained several early successional species, and did not closely resemble the extant vegetation. Wet heat treatments reduced the density of Sphagnum cuspidatum. Pocosin canopy was sparse and composed primarily of Pinus serotina. The shrub-sapling strata indicated co-dominance of Acer rubrum and ericaceous species, potentially indicating a shift from a shrub bog to a wet pine-hardwood community.
Seismic Amplitude Recovery with Curvelets

description: A non-linear singularity-preserving solution to the least-squares seismic imaging problem with sparseness and continuity constraints is proposed. The applied formalism explores curvelets as a directional frame that, by their sparsity on the image, and their invariance under the imaging operators, allows for a stable recovery of the amplitudes. Our method is based on the estimation of the normal operator in the form of an ’eigenvalue’ decomposition with curvelets as the ’eigenvectors’. Subsequently, we propose an inversion method that derives from estimation of the normal operator and is formulated as a convex optimization problem. Sparsity in the curvelet domain as well as continuity along the reflectors in the image domain are promoted as part of this optimization. Our method is tested with a reverse-time ’wave-equation’ migration code simulating the acoustic wave equation.

description: Cucurbitacin IIb, a triterpene obtained from the Ibervillea sonorae plant, reduces tumour development in a preclinical model of cervical cancer. Acetison and Etanison, phytopreparations made from I. sonorae, present biological activity analogous to CIIb in HeLa. This research evaluated the tumour growth inhibitory effect of these phytopreparations in a HeLa xenograft tumour model in BALB/c nude mice. Tumours in mice were treated every 3 days for 12 days with cisplatin (2 mg/kg), CIIb (5 mg/kg), Acetison (20 mg/kg), Etanison (30 mg/kg), and DMSO at 2%. For histological observations, tumours were stained with H&E. Fingerprinting of both phytopreparations was performed using HPLC-UV and UHPLC-APCI-IT-MS. Both phytopreparations and CIIb inhibit tumour development as well as Cisplatin (75.5%); Etanison (77.7%), Acetison (73.6%), and CIIb (73.0%). Furthermore, only tumours treated with cisplatin showed invasion of bone tissue. The results show the potential use of I. sonorae phytopreparations in the treatment of cervical cancer.

Such specialized portals are price comparison portals or portals with product tests. Beyond these two types there are portals that are built up as direc-tories, in which online shops are listed by product categories.At the price comparison portals or portals with product tests, the online shops are in the back-ground. Because the main purpose of these portals is the comparison of prices and product reviews. But precisely these portals offer information about online shops. E.g. which payment options can be used, which delivery options are available, which features a shop has and who the provider of an online shop is.Customers of online shops can often contribute by making ratings of the shops.

Surface related multiple prediction from incomplete data

description: Incomplete data, unknown source-receiver signatures and free-surface reflectivity represent challenges for a successful prediction and subsequent removal of multiples. In this paper, a new method will be represented that tackles these challenges by combining what we know about wavefield (de-)focussing, by weighted convolutions/correlations, and recently developed curvelet-based recovery by sparsity-promoting inversion (CRSI). With this combination, we are able to leverage recent insights from wave physics towards a nonlinear formulation for the multiple-prediction problem that works for incomplete data and without detailed knowledge on the surface effects.

description: Bringing communities of buyers and sellers together in the arena of electronic commerce stimulates three major potentials: the building of trust, the collection and effective use of community knowledge and the economic impacts of accumulated buying power. In this context, we introduce the concept of Virtual Communities of Transaction and review important personalization approaches which we may utilize in their design: collaborative filtering, data mining, and techniques to optimize the user interface and the underlying product offerings. The key contributions of this paper are the elaboration of Virtual Communities, the presentation of a categorization scheme for different types of communities, the identification of classes of member profiles, and the innovative concept of community products. We conclude with the case of the Amazon.com Recommendation Center to illustrate key design ideas and discuss an evolutionary application, the Participatory Product Catalog.
title: The Behavioral Causes of Reproductive Skew in Cooperatively Polygynandrous Acorn Woodpeckers (Melanerpes Formicivorus)

description: Reproductive skew, the degree to which reproduction is shared among same-sex individuals in a social group, is a pattern affected by ecological conditions, sociality, cooperation, and the inter- and intrasexual behavior of individuals in complex animal societies. Transactional and compromise skew models assume that high skew is the product of dominance hierarchies among cobreeders, yet this has rarely been tested. Both model types fail to incorporate the decisions of more than two individuals, generally overlooking the effect of female behavior on male reproductive success in multi-male groups, and are ineffective at predicting skew in larger groups characterized by more than two same-sex cobreeders. To test these assumptions, I examined the potential behavioral causes of reproductive skew in acorn woodpeckers (Melanerpes formicivorus), a cooperative polygynandrous species that lacks dominance hierarchies among closely related cobreeding males despite highly skewed paternity.

I quantified male mate-guarding behavior by measuring overall attendance time and successful follows of breeding females prior to egg-laying to determine if these behaviors resulted in a breeding hierarchy reflected by realized paternity. Mate-guarding behavior of small (two-male) and large (three or more male) cohort groups was compared to examine the effect of larger group sizes on reproductive skew. Moreover, the potential effect of female behavior on male reproductive skew was examined by investigating female mating behavior in polyandrous social groups.

Reproductive competition among cobreeding males was high, as evidenced by consistently high attendance behavior throughout the fertile period of breeding females. Groups with three or more cobreeding males mate guarded for more days than groups with two cobreeding males. Attendance and following behavior were good predictors of reproductive skew in two-male groups, but did not predict paternity in groups with three or more cobreeding males. I hypothesized that this species may use tree cavities in which to copulate, and tested the prediction that the frequency and duration of tree cavity visits by breeding females with breeding males determined the realized paternity of the offspring of polyandrous groups. The timing and duration of cavity use behavior of males and females in this study closely resembled the timing and duration of copulation behavior in other polyandrous species. The cavity use behavior of females and males, however, was not a good predictor of realized paternity. The ways in which acorn woodpeckers agree with, and diverge from, the predictions of reproductive skew theory highlight both the potential insight derived by, and the limitation in scope of, this theory as a whole.

Understanding dynamic linkages and technology spillover from Korea's Masan Free Export Zone

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Economics, General.
subject: Political Science, International Law and Relations.

description: Drawing upon the wealth of literature previously written about the Masan Free Export Zone (MAFEZ), this thesis will disentangle the conflicting information and hypotheses about the some of the zone's 'welfare benefits.' That is, the thesis will examine production linkages and technology spillover from the export processing zone (EPZ) itself to the greater economy. The vast literature already written on this subject is divergent, to say the least, and much of it is inconsistent with simple facts available in archival materials and exhaustively compiled statistical evidence. Therefore, this thesis will examine the extant literature on the zone and compare this with archival material gathered in South Korea to reinterpret the facts through a more holistic and interdisciplinary lens. This thesis will demonstrate that the establishment of MAFEZ was successful in creating such welfare benefits to the domestic Korean economy outside of the zone, and that such success was mostly policy-induced. Chapter One will introduce some of the divergent ideas and academic controversies about EPZs in general and MAFEZ in particular. Chapter Two will give a brief history of Korea's export-oriented industrialization drive, and how Korean Industrial Estates (IEs) and EPZs figured in this drive. It will also delineate important political and economic differences between Korean IEs and EPZs. Chapter Three will examine in detail production linkages from MAFEZ. Chapter Four will study technology spillover from the zone and the impact of such spillover. This thesis will conclude with an overview of the argument and an explication of some of the problems that MAFEZ, as a development tool, faced during its evolution and expansion.

description: Seismic data is often irregularly and/or sparsely sampled along spatial coordinates. We show that these acquisition geometries are not necessarily a source of adversity in order to accurately reconstruct adequately-sampled data. We use two examples to illustrate that it may actually be better than equivalent regularly subsampled data. This comment was already made in earlier works by other authors. We explain this behavior by two key observations. Firstly, a noise-free underdetermined problem can be seen as a noisy well-determined problem. Secondly, regularly subsampling creates strong coherent acquisition noise (aliasing) difficult to remove unlike the noise created by irregularly subsampling that is typically weaker and Gaussian-like
Reverential fear as a ground of marriage nullity with particular reference to the Indian culture

Subjects: subject: Law.
subject: South Asian Studies.

description: Marriage is an intimate interpersonal bond, a juridic reality, between a man and a woman, who are legally habiles, and it comes into being through their mutual, free and irrevocable consent expressed in accord with the norm of law (cf. CIC, c. 1057; CCEO, c. 817). This mutual consent can be affected by several intrinsic and external factors which can render it null or invalid. One among these factors is grave fear imposed from without, which the person is not able to resist except by choosing marriage, and this no doubt invalidates the marriage. One form of grave fear implied in canon 1103 of the Latin Code and canon 825 of the Eastern Code is reverential fear. The effect of reverential fear on the choices one makes is determined largely by the culture of people. The system of arranged marriages is so deeply rooted in Indian culture that, even today, almost ninety-five percent of the marriages are contracted in accord with that system. Although this system has its own merits within the context of a particular culture, it is not without its negative impact on the freedom of the Christian faithful in the choice of their life-partners. This is particularly evident in cases of reverential fear. The specific question we responded to in our thesis is: What is the impact of reverential fear, which is deeply rooted in the Indian culture, on matrimonial consent? We have organized our response to this question under four sub-questions and the response to these questions is developed in four chapters. In the first chapter we deal with the interpretation of ecclesial law in light of culture. The second chapter deals with the nature and the elements of matrimonial consent. The third chapter is a study of reverential fear as a ground of marriage nullity with particular reference to the factors that underlie reverential fear in the Indian cultural context. The focus of the fourth chapter is canonical jurisprudence on reverential fear. What we have discovered in our study is that there is a very close link between culture and law, and that a proper understanding of the cultural background of a person or of a community is very important to provide a just and equitable interpretation of law, marriage law in particular, and to apply it to a concrete case. Hence, a careful analysis of various cultural factors which impinge on matrimonial consent leads us to conclude that cultural factors can have a serious impact on the consent of the spouses and, indeed, the culturally rooted reverential fear can substantially affect the freedom of choice of marriage itself and/or of the marriage partner.

description: The implementation of a user-friendly, trustworthy electronic payment system is, without any doubt, a critical success factor for the global breakthrough of electronic shopping applications. The paper presents the interim results of a European research project (Eureka EU 1483) that focuses on the development of an integrated payment system for electronic marketplaces, specifically for the business case of the Electronic Mall Bodensee, an existing mall with more than 400 partners, companies as well as organisations, and universities, in the Lake Constance region. At a very early stage of the project, partners from different groups of stakeholders agreed, that existing systems cover a certain functionality for medium-sized amounts of money but lack an efficient method for micropayments. A dedicated study on existing payment systems in general showed a market concentration on payments via credit card.

description: As increasing numbers of consumers use the Internet as a geographically and temporally distributed interactive, multimedia platform to conduct business, new strategic considerations dictate that E-Commerce Applications afford coordination and collaboration mechanisms. These coordination mechanisms are vital to leverage subgroup preferences and exploit the intelligence embedded in prior transaction histories and experiences. To provide such vital pathways, systems must support the notion of Virtual Communities of Buyers as they cultivate the process of a collective awareness. Virtual Communities of Buyers and Seller Offerings can be merged in a single locus, the electronic product catalog (EPC). To coordinate the buyers, the EPC can usefully be extended as a Participatory Product Catalog (PEP) - which combines aspects of product information and community building into a common approach for a modern business medium.

description: Blastospore and mycelial cytoplasmic extracts from four strains of Candida albicans, varying in virulence, were compared by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis Cytoplasmic extracts were made by disrupting the cultures in a Braun homogenizer followed by ultracentrifugation. The supernatant fractions were then resolved on polyacrylamide gels containing SDS. Each of the preparations yielded a distinct pattern. There were mycelial specific and blastospore specific protein bands. There were more components resolved from the blastospore phase cytoplasmic extracts than from the mycelial phase cytoplasmic extracts. There were bands common to both phases. These results demonstrate protein components unique to the mycelial phase and unique to the blastospore phase of Candida albicans.

description: As a result of its defeat in the Chinese civil war, the Guomindang government of the Republic of China, under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, was forced to retreat to Taiwan in 1949. Although the Republic of China was a founding member of the United Nations, occupying indeed a seat on the Security Council, the mainland’s growing international recognition as well as the normalization of United States–China relations would eventually lead to the People’s Republic of China taking over the “Chinese seat,” as sole representative of China, in the UN in 1971. In light of its international isolation, Taiwan thus launched several initiatives so as to increase its global participation. However, due to the PRC’s opposition, Taiwan was not able to improve its status significantly. Now, in September 2017, Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party has begun a new campaign. According to the party’s own claims, this campaign is following an innovative approach by formulating three distinct demands addressing both the UN and the international community at large. Additionally, Foreign Minister Lee Tawei published an op-ed article to gain greater attention worldwide. This article seeks to briefly explain last year’s campaign, place it in the context of former initiatives, and to critically evaluate its prospects for success.

description: In this paper, we present a nonlinear curvelet-based sparsity-promoting formulation for three problems in seismic processing and imaging namely, seismic data regularization from data with large percentages of traces missing; seismic amplitude recovery for subsalt images obtained by reverse-time migration and primary-multiple separation, given an inaccurate multiple prediction. We argue why these nonlinear formulations are beneficial.

description: Using electronic media for interaction with customers enables enterprises to integrate customer activity and knowledge about customers resulting in a high-quality relationship thus turning buying processes more efficient. In this paper we review the basics of personalization - how it works, where it can be used (the applications) and what makes it work (the enablers). Our discussion is structured around the four steps of the customer profile life cycle: modelling customer profiles, data input, data processing, and information output.
Islam and Nation-Building in Indonesia and Malaysia
Creators: name: Ziegenhain, Patrick

description: The increasing tensions between Islamists and the political leadership in Indonesia and Malaysia reveal that the relationship between religion and state has not yet been definitively settled in either state. The ongoing sociopolitical struggles over the relationship between Islam and national identity in both countries are also a result of their very different nation-building processes. To understand the current dynamics, it is necessary to analyze the specific ways in which Islam was incorporated in the constitutions of both countries after independence and how nation-building was directed by their respective political elites. Whereas Malaysia tried to build a nation based on the coexistence of different ethnic/religious groups, Indonesia meanwhile adopted an assimilationist approach — in which members of every ethnic/religious group were to be absorbed into one overarching nation. Due, not least, to these historical reasons, we can now observe a growing tendency toward dissatisfaction with the results of the nation-building processes among the Muslim communities in both of these countries.

Simulation of polymer translocation through small channels: A molecular dynamics study and a new Monte Carlo approach
Creators: name: Gauthier, Michel G
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Physics, Molecular.

description: With the recent completion of the Human Genome Project and the announcement of the $1000 Genome Race in 2003, the interest for developing faster and cheaper sequencing technologies is continuously growing. Nanopore sequencing offers one of the most promising new ideas. This method consists in reading DNA as it passes through a small aperture perforated through a membrane; a technique similar to decoding a magnetic tape in a tape player. The process of linearly moving a flexible chain from one side of a small channel to the other is called polymer translocation. However, the physics behind this process is still not well understood. During the last ten years, theorists proposed several scaling laws in order to describe this problem and explain experimental observations. The goal of this thesis is to shed light on some of these interesting theoretical predictions. One of the most important questions addressed in this thesis is the role of the hydrodynamic interactions in the polymer translocation process. Even though the impact of such interactions have been theoretically considered, they are neglected in most simulation models. One of our aims in this thesis is to look at the implications of increasing the pore diameter in the presence of hydrodynamic interactions. We use Molecular Dynamics simulations with explicit solvent particles to generate unbiased translocation events in order to characterize the screening of the hydrodynamic interactions by the membrane and to test the hypothesis that polymer translocation is a quasi-equilibrium process. The latter question is quite fundamental since this assumption is at the origin of most theoretical approaches. Another major goal of this thesis is to clarify the nature of the transition between the two translocation regimes dominated by the pore-polymer friction and the hydrodynamic drag of the subchains outside the channel, respectively. However, such an investigation requires the ability to simulate translocation events with a very wide range of polymer lengths. We thus propose a new Monte Carlo method based on a one-dimensional random-walk representation of the translocation problem that can easily be used to study chain lengths as large as 10' monomers. This model works in conjunction with an exact calculation technique to compute the key results of the translocation events such as the probability to occur and the average time duration. It is used to validate previous and make new theoretical predictions about translocation dynamics as the polymer and channel lengths are varied. It is also applied to the study of chain heterogeneity effects.
