Diagnostic characters
Head frontally not margined. Slightly posterior to frontal edge with slight depression and anterior to it with three (sometimes four) transversely located, slight but clearly distinguishable tubercles. Pronotum on disc with a rather broad impunctate area. Pronotal striae distinct but not strongly impressed; striae angled and sinuate. Basal striae of elytra distinct but comparatively short. Sutural lines present but quite weakly developed; anteriorly they end clearly before reaching frontal edge of elytra; posteriorly they are transformed to a row of separate punctures slightly behind middle of elytra. Punctures on each side of elytral striae almost similar; fine, slightly irregularly distributed and somewhat sparse. Ventrite apically with distinct and quite dense punctures. Female with outline of elytra posteriorly smooth (minor process absent). Penis (lateral aspect) comparatively robust, evenly curved; (dorsal aspect), quite broad. Penis apex not distinctly extended (Fig. 3B).
Length of body 1.8–2.0 mm.
Material examined
MADAGASCAR • 5 specs; “envir. de Perinet riv. Farimbany” [around Perinet, Farimbany river]; “(Q 800)” [800 m a.s.l.]; 18 Jul. 1970; N. Sanfilippo leg.; FMNH.
Distribution
A species as tentatively defined here distributed in East Africa and Madagascar (see Biström 1985). In Madagascar only known from Moramanga and Analamazaotra NP in east central parts (Fig. 4D). However, Pederzani & Rocchi (2009) identified seven specimens collected in southern Madagascar by Gerecke & Goldschmidt in 2001 as B. ceratus (specimens housed at BMNH and NMW). The series, which we have not studied, was collected north of Ranopiso (25.05° S, 46.67° E) near the southern part of Andohahela NP and ca 35 km west of Taolanaro.
Collecting circumstances
According to label information sampled at 800–1000 m a.s.l.
Taxonomic observation
Bidessus ceratus is described from Uganda in eastern continental Africa. When the B. sharpi species group was revised (Bistr̂m 1985), specimens from Madagascar were considered to belong to this species. There are, however, features, which indicate the existence of a separate species in Madagascar. No fresh specimens in ethanol are at present available for DNA analyses and accordingly the earlier interpretation is retained.

Convergence of European, indigenous and popular idioms in the works of Peruvian composer Enrique Iturriaga
Creators: name: Maloff, Nikolai
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This document deals with the life and works of Peruvian composer Enrique Iturriaga (1918-) and provides an introduction to his solo piano works: Tres Piezas para Piano (1945) and Preg6n y Danza (1952). The piano works under study are from an early period in the composer's life, a time when he was assimilating musical styles from Europe. Chapter 1 is an overview of the state of Peruvian art music in the first half of the twentieth century, noting the contributions of foreign musicians who took up residence in Peru and exerted an important influence on the course of Peruvian art music in the post-war period. Chapter 2 is an account of Iturriaga's life. Particular attention is given to musical influences and the people who shaped his career as a composer. Chapter 3 is an overview of Iturriaga's works, excluding those for piano solo. Exemplary works from his three creative periods are discussed. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss the solo piano works of Iturriaga: Tres Piezas para Piano and Preg6n y Danza. Chapter 6 concludes the document by summarizing how Peruvian folk music serves as creative inspiration for Iturriaga's works. A comprehensive list of Iturriaga's works, with information on how to obtain them, is included as an appendix.

title: Politics of Self-Destruction: The Virginia Republican Party Split of 1895-1897

description:
In explaining the rise of Democratic rule in Virginia, political historians have overlooked the significance of the Republican split of 1895-1897. Drawn mainly from primary source materials, this thesis traces the rupture that divided the GOP leadership after the death of General William Mahone, one of the Commonwealth's most remarkable political figures. The controversial election of Mahone's successor (Colonel William Lamb of Norfolk) as party chairman in November 1895 sparked two years of bitter struggle, a conflict that ultimately left the state Republicans shattered as a political force. An understanding of Democratic dominance as it developed in Virginia is incomplete without an examination of the rift that greatly weakened the state's other major political organization.

Unlike previous studies that have focused heavily upon the Democratic version of events, this study sheds more light on the forgotten Republican leaders and their actions. Although the major thrust of this work is to describe the Republican leadership struggle and factionalism, an effort has been made to place the split into a proper historical context by also including selected treatment on local politics, interracial relations, the Democrats, the Populist party, political patronage, contested elections, editorial opinion, and the eventual adoption of a new state constitution.

Attracting national attention, the GOP rift eventually required the reluctant intervention of President McKinley and his advisor, Marcus Hanna. By restoring a needed balance to the historical interpretive framework, a study of the Republican schism helps reveal more fully the advent. of one-party dominance in the Old Dominion.

Roles of the P2X7 receptor in C6 astroglioma: in vitro and in vivo studies
Creators: name: Wei, Wei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The purinergic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is an ionotropic adenosine triphosphate(ATP) receptor which is closely linked with pathological conditions in the central nervous system (CNS). Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors with presently no cures. The roles of the P2X7R in these diseases have not been previously studied and in this work, I have used the rat C6 glioma as an experimental model system to investigate expression and function of the P2X7R in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro study has examined expression of the P2X7R in C6 cells and the involvement of this receptor in mediating cell functional responses. C6 glioma cells were found to express the P2X7R at both mRNA and protein levels. The P2X7Ragonist, 2', 3 '-(benzoy1-4-benzoy1)-ATP (BzATP) induced an increase in intracellularCa2+ concentration, an effect which was largely inhibited by periodate-oxidized ATP(OxATP), an irreversible P2X7R antagonist. BzATP treatment of C6 cells also resulted in ethidium bromide dye uptake indicating pore formation was induced byP2X7R activation. Chronic exposure of C6 cells to BzATP showed up-regulation of several pro-inflammatory factors including the chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) and the angiogenic factor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) suggesting the P2X7R in C6 cells is involved in mediating inflammation in tumors. In addition, BzATP treatment was found to enhance wound-induced cell migration, an effect which was inhibited in the presence of OxATP, or another P2X7R antagonist, Brilliant Blue G (BBG). The in vivo study examined whether pharmacological modulation of P2X7R with BBG altered tumor growth. C6 glioma cells were implanted into the striatum of rat brain and in situ P2X7R expression was shown to be associated with glioma cells and resident microglia. Preliminary results have indicated that inhibition of P2X7R leads to a reduced volume of brain tumors formed by transplanted C6 cells. The overall results from this study demonstrate the novel finding that C6 glioma cells express functional P2X7R and suggest pharmacological modulation of theP2X7R could serve as an effective strategy to inhibit the development and progression of brain tumors.

description: Ο σύγχρονος τρόπος ζωής και παράγοντες όπως είναι το άγχος, η καθημερινή επαφή με περιβαλλοντικούς ρύπους, καυσαέρια, βακτήρια, αλλά και η βιολογική γήρανση, προκαλούν διάφορα αισθητικά αλλά και δερματολογικά προβλήματα. Στη συγκεκριμένη διπλωματική εργασία εξετάζονται η μεσοθεραπεία ως θεραπεία προσώπου σε όλες τις μορφές της και οι συσκευές High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) για την αντιμετώπιση αισθητικών προβλημάτων προσώπου και σώματος. Η μεθοδολογία της έρευνας είναι βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση. Η μεσοθεραπεία είναι μία τεχνική εισαγωγής ουσιών στο μεσαίο στρώμα ή μεσόδερμα και που αποσκοπεί στη αναζωογόνηση του δέρματος, παρέχοντάς του τα θρεπτικά συστατικά που χρειάζεται ώστε να γίνει πιο σφριγηλό και να διορθωθούν τα σημάδια της δερματικής γήρανσης. Τα αποτελέσματα της εφαρμογής της τεχνολογίας High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) αναφέρονται σε διάφορες ενότητες της μελέτης. Επίσης, καταγράφονται οι επιδράσεις της τεχνολογίας HIFU στα βαθύτερα στρώματα της επιδερμίδας. Η θεραπεία με τη τεχνολογία HIFU θεωρείται μη επεμβατική, βασίζεται στη δράση των υπερήχων και ενεργοποιεί το κολλαγόνο με αποτέλεσμα τη σύσφιξη και ανόρθωση του δέρματος. Εφαρμόζεται σε όλους του τύπους δέρματος, όλες τις εποχές του χρόνου και στα δύο φύλα τόσο στο πρόσωπο όσο και στο σώμα. Η τεχνολογία HIFU προκαλεί τοπική καταστροφή ιστών με ελάχιστη έως καθόλου βλάβη στον περιβάλλοντα ιστό, κάτι που την καθιστά μια αποτελεσματική και λιγότερο επεμβατική θεραπευτική επιλογή για διάφορα αισθητικά προβλήματα.

Beyond music sharing: an evaluation of peer-to-peer data dissemination techniques in large scientific collaborations
Creators: name: Al Kiswany, Samer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The avalanche of data from scientific instruments and the ensuing interest from geographically distributed users to analyze and interpret it accentuates the need for efficient data dissemination. An optimal data distribution scheme will find the delicate balance between conflicting requirements of minimizing transfer times, minimizing the impact on the network, and uniformly distributing load among participants. We identify several data distribution techniques, some successfully employed by today's peer-to-peer networks: staging, data partitioning, orthogonal bandwidth exploitation, and combinations of the above. We use simulations to explore the performance of these techniques in contexts similar to those used by today's data-centric scientific collaborations and derive several recommendations for efficient data dissemination. Our experimental results show that the peer-to-peer solutions that offer load balancing and good fault tolerance properties and have embedded participation incentives lead to unjustified costs in today's scientific data collaborations deployed on over-provisioned network cores. However, as user communities grow and these deployments scale, peer-to-peer data delivery mechanisms will likely outperform other techniques.

Combining measurements with deterministic model outputs: predicting ground-level ozone
Creators: name: Liu, Zhong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The main topic of this thesis is how to combine model outputs from deterministic models with measurements from monitoring stations for air pollutants or other meteorological variables. We consider two different approaches to address this particular problem. The first approach is by using the Bayesian Melding (BM) model proposed by Fuentes and Raftery (2005). We successfully implement this model and conduct several simulation studies to examine the performance of this model in different scenarios. We also apply the melding model to the ozone data to show the importance of using the Bayesian melding model to calibrate the model outputs. That is, to adjust the model outputs for the prediction of measurements. Due to the Bayesian framework of the melding model, we can extend it to incorporate other components such as ensemble models, reversible jump MCMC for variable selection. However, the BM model is purely a spatial model and we generally have to deal with space-time dataset in practice. The deficiency of the BM approach leads us to a second approach, an alternative to the BM model, which is a linear mixed model (different from most linear mixed models, the random effects being spatially correlated) with temporally and spatially correlated residuals. We assume the spatial and temporal correlation are separable and use an AR process to model the temporal correlation. We also develop a multivariate version of this model. Both the melding model and linear mixed model are Bayesian hierarchical models, which can better estimate the uncertainties of the estimates and predictions.

Diagnostic characters
Head frontally not margined but provided with a shallow, transverse depression which medially is indistinct. Pronotum discally with a broad area with fine and sparse punctures; distinctly sparser than punctures at frontal and posterior edge. Pronotal striae at base deeply impressed. Pronotal striae with a distinct angle (not smoothly curved). Basal striae of elytra rather short. Sutural lines distinct; anteriorly and posteriorly lines fade away; anteriorly lines transformed to a short row of a few punctures. Punctures on both side of basal striae fine, sparse and of equal size. Apical ventrite with a few fine, slightly irregular punctures. Female with outline of elytra posteriorly smooth (minor extension absent). Penis in lateral view slender, almost evenly curved. Penis apex slightly extended (Fig. 3F).
Length of body 1.4–1.5 mm.
Material examined
478 specimens (NHRS, CAS, NMW, PBZT / MBC, BMNH, DEUA) from provinces Antsiranana, Mahajanga, Toliara and Fianarantsoa (see Supplementary File 1).
Distribution
Endemic species to Madagascar but as B. longistriga widely distributed on the island in lowland areas below 800 m a.s.l. (Fig. 4B).
Collecting circumstances
An apt flier that can be collected at light. At low altitude it can occur in a variety of mainly stagnant habitats such as eutrophied ponds, pools in dried out riverbeds, even water-filled wheel tracks. Often occurs sympatrically with B. longistriga, at least in western parts of Madagascar.
