description: Abstract Background Mechanical ventilation in helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) environments is a procedure which carries a significant risk of complications. Limited data on the quality and performance of mechanical ventilation in HEMS are available in the literature. Method We conducted an international survey to evaluate mechanical ventilation infrastructure in HEMS and collect data of transported ventilated patients. From June 20–22, 2019, the participating HEMS bases were asked to provide data via a web-based platform. Vital parameters and ventilation settings of the patients at first patient contact and at handover were compared using non-parametric statistical tests. Results Out of 215 invited HEMS bases, 53 responded. Respondents were from Germany, Denmark, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Austria and Switzerland. Of the HEMS bases, all teams were physician staffed, mainly anesthesiologists (79%), the majority were board certified (92.5%) and trained in intensive care medicine (89%) and had a median (range) experience in HEMS of 9 (0–25) years. HEMS may provide a high level of expertise in mechanical ventilation whereas the majority of ventilators are able to provide pressure controlled ventilation and continuous positive airway pressure modes (77%). Data of 30 ventilated patients with a median (range) age of 54 (21–100) years and 53% male gender were analyzed. Of these, 24 were primary missions and 6 interfacility transports. At handover, oxygen saturation (p < 0.01) and positive end-expiratory pressure (p = 0.04) of the patients were significantly higher compared to first patient contact. Conclusion In this survey, the management of ventilated HEMS-patients was not associated with ventilation related serious adverse events. Patient conditions, training of medical crew and different technical and environmental resources are likely to influence management. Further studies are necessary to assess safety and process quality of mechanical ventilation in HEMS. Trial registration The survey was prospectively registered at Research Registry (researchregistry2925).
Techniques to simplify the analysis of execution traces for program comprehension

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Understanding a large execution trace is not easy task due to the size and complexity of typical traces. In this thesis, we present various techniques that tackle this problem. Firstly, we present a set of metrics for measuring various properties of an execution trace in order to assess the work required for understanding its content. We show the result of applying these metrics to thirty traces generated from three different software systems. We discuss how these metrics can be supported by tools to facilitate the exploration of traces based on their complexity. Secondly, we present a novel technique for manipulating traces called trace summarization, which consists of taking a trace as input and return a summary of its main content as output. Traces summaries can be used to enable top-down analysis of traces as well as the recovery of the system behavioural models. In this thesis, we present a trace summarization algorithm that is based on successive filtering of implementation details from traces. An analysis of the concept of implementation details such as utilities is also presented. Thirdly, we have developed a scalable exchange format called the Compact Trace Format (CTF) in order to enable sharing and reusing of traces. The design of CTF satisfies well-known requirements for a standard exchange format. Finally, this thesis includes a survey of eight trace analysis tools. A study of the advantages and limitations of the techniques supported by these tools is provided. The approaches presented in this thesis have been applied to real software systems. The obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness of our techniques.

description: Tinnitus can be a burdensome condition on both individual and societal levels. Many aspects of this condition remain elusive, including its underlying mechanisms, ultimately hindering the development of a cure. Interdisciplinary approaches are required to overcome long-established research challenges. This review summarizes current knowledge in various tinnitus-relevant research fields including tinnitus generating mechanisms, heterogeneity, epidemiology, assessment, and treatment development, in an effort to highlight the main challenges and provide suggestions for future research to overcome them. Four common themes across different areas were identified as future research direction: (1) Further establishment of multicenter and multidisciplinary collaborations; (2) Systematic reviews and syntheses of existing knowledge; (3) Standardization of research methods including tinnitus assessment, data acquisition, and data analysis protocols; (4) The design of studies with large sample sizes and the creation of large tinnitus-specific databases that would allow in-depth exploration of tinnitus heterogeneity.
Progressive transmission and multi-resolution collision detection of polygonal meshes in virtual environments

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Virtual reality applications such as computer games form a large portion of the computing industry. The increasing expectations for immersive and interactive entertainment require fast graphics rendering with a lot of details and high-fidelity physics simulation. Interference and collision detection between general polygonal models, including all those tasks in the simulated motion of solids which cannot penetrate one another, has been widely explored. The most recent works have been focused on increasing the number of collision queries per second to an interactive rate, assuming that the computing resources such as memory, CPU capacity, and network bandwidth are sufficient all the time. However, the performance of a collision detection algorithm may vary in real environments where the available computing resources are not sufficient or are dynamic at runtime. Such an unstable performance directly affects the interactive rate of many applications, which is not acceptable. This drawback has been noticed extensively by practitioners. Little research work has been introduced to systematically solve this problem. One way out of this problem is to use a technique to dynamically adjust the cost of the collision detection (CD) task according to the measurements of available resources. In this dissertation, a solution to the problem is proposed. The problem is analyzed under three different physical environments: single low end computer, clustered multiple-machine setting, and distributed environment. An extensive comparative study of several methods is done in the context of polygonal models. A new approach, "multi-resolution collision detection", is proposed. It performs time-critical and exact interference detection on continuous level of detail (LOD) representations of arbitrary triangle meshes undergoing rigid body motion. The goal of this work is to extend the bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) based collision detection approach from static to dynamic in order to adapt the cost of collision detection to the available resource in either centralized or distributed environments. Several adaptive mesh refinement criteria based on viewing distance, application context, and movement velocity are proposed. Global and local mesh refinement algorithms and a BVH CD algorithm are introduced. They are computationally simple and achieve reliable real-time performance. The complexity of the proposed algorithms is analyzed and proved. Measurements are taken to compare with the analytical results and strong agreements are achieved. The major application areas considered are distributed virtual environments (DVEs) and interactive haptic applications.

description: Background: The use of therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of neurological diseases is of increasing interest. Nose-to-brain drug delivery is one strategy to bypass the blood brain barrier. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) plays an important role in transepithelial transcytosis of immunoglobulin G (IgG). Recently, the presence of the FcRn was observed in nasal respiratory mucosa. The aim of the present study was to determine the presence of functional FcRn in olfactory mucosa and to evaluate its role in drug delivery. Methods: Immunoreactivity and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of FcRn was determined in ex vivo porcine olfactory mucosa. Uptake of IgG was performed in a side-by-side cell and analysed by immunofluorescence. Results: FcRn was found in epithelial and basal cells of the olfactory epithelium as well as in glands, cavernous bodies and blood vessels. Allogenic porcine IgGs were found time-dependently in the lamina propria and along axonal bundles, while only small amounts of xenogenic human IgGs were detected. Interestingly, lymphoid follicles were spared from allogenic IgGs. Conclusion: Fc-mediated transport of IgG across the nasal epithelial barrier may have significant potential for intranasal delivery, but the relevance of immune interaction in lymphoid follicles must be clarified to avoid immunogenicity.

description: Background: Successful H. pylori treatment requires the knowledge of local antimicrobial resistance. Data on the efficacy of H. pylori eradication regimens available in sub-Saharan Africa are scant, hence the optimal treatment is unknown. Our goals were to determine the efficacy of available regimens in Rwanda as well as evaluate the effect of treatment on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial conducted from November 2015 to October 2016 at a tertiary hospital in Rwanda. Enrollees were 299 patients (35% male, age 42 ± 16 years (mean ± SD)) who had a positive modified rapid urease test on endoscopic biopsies. After a fecal antigen test (FAT) and HRQoL assessment by the Short Form Nepean Dyspepsia Index (SF-NDI) questionnaire, patients were randomized 1:1:1:1 to either a triple therapy combining omeprazole, amoxicillin and one of clarithromycin/ciprofloxacin/metronidazole or a quadruple therapy combining omeprazole, amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin and doxycycline. All therapies were given for a duration of 10 days. The outcome measures were the persistence of positive FAT (treatment failure) 4 to 6 weeks after treatment and change in HRQoL scores. Results: The treatment success rate was 80% in the total population and 78% in patients with a history of prior triple therapy. Significant improvement in HRQoL in the total group (HRQoL mean scores before and after treatment respectively: 76 ± 11 and 32 ± 11, p < 0.001) and the group with functional dyspepsia (HRQoL mean scores before and after treatment respectively: 73 ± 11 and 30 ± 9, P < 0.001) was observed across all treatment groups. Using clarithromycin based triple therapy (standard of care) as a reference, the group treated with metronidazole had worse HRQoL (p = 0.012) and had a trend towards worse treatment outcome (p = 0.086) compared to the ciprofloxacin based combination therapies. Conclusion: Clarithromycin and ciprofloxacin based combination therapies are effective and safe to use alternatively for H. pylori eradication and improve HRQoL. Among the regimens studied, metronidazole based triple therapy is likely to be clinically inferior. Trial registration The clinical trial was retrospectively registered ( PACTR201804003257400 ) with the Pan African Clinical Trial Registry database, on April 6th, 2018 in South Africa.

description: Recently, large samples of visually classified early-type galaxies (ETGs) containing dust have been identified using space-based infrared observations with the Herschel Space Telescope. The presence of large quantities of dust in massive ETGs is peculiar as X-ray halos of these galaxies are expected to destroy dust in 10 Myr (or less). This has sparked a debate regarding the origin of the dust: is it internally produced by asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, or is it accreted externally through mergers? We examine the 2D stellar and ionised gas kinematics of dusty ETGs using IFS observations from the SAMI galaxy survey, and integrated star-formation rates, stellar masses, and dust masses from the GAMA survey. Only 8% (4/49) of visually-classified ETGs are kinematically consistent with being dispersion-supported systems. These "dispersion-dominated galaxies" exhibit discrepancies between stellar and ionised gas kinematics, either offsets in the kinematic position angle or large differences in the rotational velocity, and are outliers in star-formation rate at a fixed dust mass compared to normal star-forming galaxies. These properties are suggestive of recent merger activity. The remaining 90% of dusty ETGs have low velocity dispersions and/or large circular velocities, typical of "rotation-dominated galaxies". These results, along with the general evidence of published works on X-ray emission in ETGs, suggest that they are unlikely to host hot, X-ray gas consistent with their low stellar mass when compared to dispersion-dominated galaxies. This means dust will be long lived and thus these galaxies do not require external scenarios for the origin of their dust content.

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Oncology.

description: Our laboratory has been interested in factors in the tumour microenvironment that may contribute to mutagenesis, and thus lead to tumour progression. The well documented relationship between chronic inflammatory states and cancer implicates inflammatory cells, such as macrophages and neutrophils, and their products as having a role in carcinogenesis. Using the MN-11 system, an in vitro/in vivo murine tumour model developed in our laboratory, the mutagenicity of neutrophils and one of their products, reactive nitrogen species, was studied. To further investigate the mechanism of the observed mutagenicity of nitric oxide donors on MN-11 cells, cellular glutathione levels of cells treated with glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were manipulated. Reactive nitrogen species, such as nitric oxide, are part of the microbicidal armament of neutrophils. Neutrophils have been implicated as a possible link between chronic inflammation and cancer, and are the most abundant inflammatory cell type observed in MN-11 tumours. Thus, the role that neutrophils have in causing mutations was investigated. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

The extension adds the calculation of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System v2 for each threat generated by the TMT, as well as the option of bulk modifications. With the filtering and sorting of the tabular data, it is possible for a penetration tester to find the threats which match his/her criteria and therefore supports in prioritizing test activities (e.g., a tester wants to find the threats with the highest CVSS Score with Ethernet as Interaction and a Local (L) Access Vector).

Modifications physico-chimiques des argiles de type smectite : caractérisation et perspectives environnementales comme catalyseurs et adsorbants.
Creators: name: Dramé, Harouna.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Inorganic.

description: Herein is reported a comparative study of the behaviour of four types of smectite clay minerals, mainly two poor iron bearing ones, SHCa-1 (hectorite from San Bernadino, California), SWy-1 (montmorillonite from Wyoming) and two ferruginous nontronites NG-1 (from Hohen Hagen, Germany) and SWa-1 (Grant County, Washington). The iron (III) exchange has been found to follow the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the clays. This exchange has also been found to have no effect on the stability and the structure of the iron poor clay minerals while it has a slight effect on the crystallinity of the ferruginous clays and on their thermal stability. The intercalation has been found to be dependent on the expansibility of the clays, increasing from the nontronites (dioctahedral iron rich clays), to the montmorillonite (dioctahedral iron less rich clay) to hectorite (trioctahedral iron poor clay). This intercalation treatment has been found to have a slight effect on both the structure of the iron poor clays and their thermal stability. In contrast, the ferruginous ones undergo a dramatic change in both their structure and their thermal stability. The transition temperature to hematite occurred at 350°C as shown by an exotherm on the DSC curve of all the pillared materials. Furthermore the importance of iron oxyhydroxide and oxide phases formed were also found in both procedures to be dependent on the initial structural iron contents of the clays. We found that SH-modified SCa-3 and in SWa-1 have higher affinity for the metal ions than the SH-modified SWy-1 and in SHCa-1, because the pH of their solution is less acidic than those of SH-SWy-1 and SH-SHCa-1. All the adsorption isotherms followed the Langmuir model and the adsorbents could be easily regenerated by leaching out the metal with 0.1N HCl. Moreover, the adsorption study has shown a considerably higher affinity of the SH-clays towards Cd2+, Zn2+, than the iron modified clays (intercalated and pillared at 350°C and 600°C), the Na-clays, and the pure hematite. The competitive adsorption of the divalent metal cations showed a strong affinity of all the SH-clays for Cu2+ than for the Zn2+ and Cd2+, due to the low pH of the mixture solution which is equal to that of the Cu solution.

description: We are currently witnessing unprecedented crises on an international scale linked to synthetic opioid overdose fatalities. While most governments and health policy makers have focused mainly on combating the current crises through harm reduction strategies, little focus has been given to the role and training of future doctors in evidence-based practices of harm reduction and addiction medicine. Therefore, enhancing medical student’s training in the implementation of addiction medicine, and the establishment (or expansion) of medical students, residents and post-fellows’ community placement—via partnerships with organizations that provide specialized care to patients struggling with mental health and addiction—would strongly improve the health and well-being of marginalized populations.

Images of Americans: The United States in Canadian newspapers during the 1960s

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: American Studies.

description: This thesis analyses Canadian newspaper images of Americans during the 1960s. The content of the study is derived from twenty newspapers drawn from four Canadian cities---Halifax, Quebec City, Ottawa, and Vancouver---and covers five specific events during the 1960s which each prompted a flurry of commentary on Americans, American motives, and the Canadian-American relationship. These events are: the election and inauguration of President John F. Kennedy in 1960, the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the Watts Riot of Los Angeles in 1965, an anti-Vietnam War speech made by Privy Councillor Walter Gordon in 1967, and the voyage of an American oil tanker, the Manhattan, into the Canadian arctic in April of 1970. This work seeks to advance the study of Canadian-American relations by questioning the range and methodological treatment of evidence currently used to evaluate Canadian perceptions of the United States. In its place, this study presents a systematic examination of Canadian attitudes and popular opinions in the 1960s. Combining the investigation of editorial cartoons and the use of the social psychological method of the Linguistic Intergroup Bias as a form of content analysis, this thesis finds that newspaper coverage from 1960 through 1970 was a complex blend of various streams of opinion which fell into three major categories: positive orientations towards Americans, negative orientations towards Americans, and apathy towards the Canadian-American relationship. This range of opinion did not provide substantial evidence of correlated predictors in terms of ideology, geography, or language, and thus suggests the possible need for a revision of previously held conclusions. In particular, this study challenges the notion that most Canadians in the 1960s had negative impressions and opinions of the United States. The study's final assessment presents three overlapping conclusions. First, the findings suggest that Canadian newspapers were much more willing to express negative opinions concerning the United States at the end of the decade than at the beginning. However, the evidence shows that Canadian newspapers in the 1960s were not "anti-American". Third, the findings suggest that there was no single or dominant "Canadian" perception of the United States. Therefore, this study finds that Canadian newspaper discussion of Americans in the 1960's contained a versatile and diverse range of opinion, much of which was absent of substantial negative sentiment directed towards the United States.

description: This thesis explores how cinema contributes to our knowledge of the modern city by examining Jacques Tati’s representation of Paris in his 1967 comedy film Play Time. In the ultra-hygienic modern city depicted in the film, nature has become abject, resulting in its removal from the city. Hence, the threat of the abject keeps the modern citizen under control; this control is embedded in the rational, desensitised, modern architecture, which plays a significant role in creating this city.

description: The objective of this thesis was to study the adsorption and desorption characteristics of natural organic matter (NOM) adsorbed on granular activated carbon (GAC). Five different natural waters (Ottawa River, ON; St. Lawrence River, ON; Vars Ground Water, ON; Buffalo Pound Lake, SK; Ohio River, OH) were studied to see if the characteristic of irreversible adsorption was a universal phenomenon. This was studied by comparing desorption isotherms to adsorption isotherms. Preliminary long-term kinetic studies were used to ensure that the contact time was sufficient for equilibrium. The waters were also fractionated to further study the differences in adsorption and desorption properties of various surface waters. The fractionation techniques used were; ultrafiltration by membrane separation, extraction of humic acids using a methylmethacrylate resin (XAD8) and size exclusion chromatography using a sephadex gel in a glass column.

description: ELISA is the main approach for the sensitive quantification of protein biomarkers in body fluids and is currently employed in clinical laboratories for the measurement of clinical markers. As such, it also constitutes the main methodological approach for biomarker validation and further qualification. For the latter, specific assay performance requirements have to be met, as described in respective guidelines of regulatory agencies. Even though many clinical ELISA assays in serum are regularly used, ELISA clinical applications in urine are significantly less. The scope of our study was to evaluate ELISA assay analytical performance in urine for a series of potential biomarkers for bladder cancer, as a first step towards their large scale clinical validation. Seven biomarkers (Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine, Survivin, Slit homolog 2 protein, NRC-Interacting Factor 1, Histone 2B, Proteinase-3 and Profilin-1) previously described in the literature as having differential expression in bladder cancer were included in the study. A total of 11 commercially available ELISA tests for these markers were tested by standard curve analysis, assay reproducibility, linearity and spiking experiments. The results show disappointing performance with coefficients of variation>20% for the vast majority of the tests performed. Only 3 assays (for Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine, Survivin and Slit homolog 2 protein) passed the accuracy thresholds and were found suitable for further application in marker quantification. These results collectively reflect the difficulties in developing urine-based ELISA assays of sufficient analytical performance for clinical application, presumably attributed to the urine matrix itself and/or presence of markers in various isoforms.

Graphene Composites for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding
Creators: name: Anderson, Liam
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Utilizing the wonderous properties of graphene for real world engineering solutions was the purpose of this work. Bringing the results reported in the lab to large scale production requires an in depth knowledge of the novel material's behaviour from the microscale to the macro scale. Large scale production of high quality graphene has not yet effectively been achieved, this leads researches to look into composite solutions - dispersing graphene particles throughout a supporting matrix material. This work uses modelling in parallel with empirical work in order to understand the dispersion properties of graphene within polymer matrices in order to create an electrical conductive nanocomposite capable of electromagnetic shielding.

description: Interpersonal problems and affective dysregulation are core characteristics of borderline personality disorder (BPD). BPD patients predominantly show unresolved attachment representations. The oxytocin (OT) system is associated with human social attachment and affiliative behavior, and OT dysregulation may be related to distinct attachment characteristics. Here, we investigated whether attachment representations are related to peripheral OT levels in BPD patients. Twenty-one female BPD patients and 20 age-, gender-, and education- matched healthy controls (HCs) were assessed with clinical scales and measures of interpersonal and attachment-related characteristics, including the Adult Attachment Projective Picture System (AAP). Plasma OT concentrations were measured prior to and during social exclusion in a virtual ball tossing game (Cyberball). The majority of BPD patients (63.2%) but no HCs showed unresolved (disorganized) attachment representations. In this subgroup of patients, baseline OT plasma levels were significantly lower than in BPD patients with organized attachment representations. This pilot study extends previous findings of altered OT regulation in BPD as a putative key mechanism underlying interpersonal dysregulation. Our results provide first evidence that altered OT plasma levels are related to disorganized attachment representations in BPD patients.
