description: X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements in Pr0.5Ca0.5CoO3 and (Pr,Y)0.55Ca0.45CoO3 compositions reveal that the valence of praseodymium ions is stable and essentially +3 (Pr [4f 2]) in the metallic state, but abruptly changes when carriers localize approaching the oxidation state +4 (Pr [4f 1]). This mechanism appears to be the driving force of the metal-insulator transition. The ground insulating state of Pr0.5Ca0.5CoO3 is an homogeneous Co3.5-d state stabilized by a charge transfer from Pr to Co sites: 1/2Pr3+ + Co3.5 \to 1/2Pr3+2d + Co3.5-d, with 2d \approx 0.26 e-.

description: We consider certain double series of Eisenstein type involving hyperbolic-sine functions. We define certain generalized Hurwitz numbers, in terms of which we evaluate those double series. Our main results can be regarded as a certain generalization of well-known results of Hurwitz, Herglotz, Katayama and so on. Our results also include recent formulas of the third-named author which are double analogues of the formulas of Cauchy, Mellin, Ramanujan, Berndt and so on, about certain Dirichlet series involving hyperbolic functions. As an application, we give some evaluation formulas for $q$-zeta functions at positive integers.

Material conversions: naturalism, discernment, and seventeenth-century Spanish still-life painting
Creators: name: Chéhab, Krystel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This thesis argues for the ways in which the new genre of still-life painting became a forum for experimentation for artists in seventeenth-century Spain. In a context wherein the production of visual imagery was overwhelmingly religious, and profane pictorial genres were generally limited to only a few, still life became bound up with growing interests in naturalism, or efforts to faithfully recreate the material world on canvas, and novel approaches to painting. Focusing on the period between 1600 and 1675, the thesis first traces the early conventions of still life cultivated by artists in the city of Toledo and in the court capital of Madrid. It then shifts the focus to Seville and to the intriguing development of what I refer to as mixed images – paintings that repurpose still life’s conventions with sacred subject matter. The contribution of this thesis lies in examining divergent types of mixed images, including paintings of sacrificial sheep and lambs and severed heads of saints, in relation to the novel genre of still life. Still-life painting emerged as an independent genre in the Spanish context around 1600, which was prompted by a number of interrelated factors including Spain’s robust political ties to other artistic centers in Europe and the surge in activity in picture collecting among upper and middling classes. Although still life was a pan-European phenomenon, the manner in which it was brought together with religious imagery in the form of mixed images, I argue, responds to evolving ideas about painting, including the depiction of violence, in the Spanish context. Painted for private patrons, mixed images by artists such as Francisco de Zurbarán, Bartolomé Murillo, and Sebastián Llanos y Valdés crucially foreground issues involving the portrayal of sacred subject matter at a moment when religious imagery was increasingly juxtaposed with other types of pictures in the space of the private collection. Ultimately, by drawing attention to informal links between artistic practice and still life, this thesis proposes that still life in seventeenth-century Spain functioned as a locus for thinking about naturalistic painting, which encouraged the subsequent deployment of the genre’s conventions to sacred ends.

description: The dominant reaction pathway (DRP) is a rigorous framework to microscopically compute the most probable trajectories, in non-equilibrium transitions. In the low-temperature regime, such dominant pathways encode the information about the reaction mechanism and can be used to estimate non-equilibrium averages of arbitrary observables. On the other hand, at sufficiently high temperatures, the stochastic fluctuations around the dominant paths become important and have to be taken into account. In this work, we develop a technique to systematically include the effects of such stochastic fluctuations, to order k_B T. This method is used to compute the probability for a transition to take place through a specific reaction channel and to evaluate the reaction rate.
The first reference genome of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) : a domesticated compilospecies.
Creators: name: Grassa, Christopher J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: I present the first reference genome for sunflower, Helianthus annuus. The reference is 3.6 billion base pairs long and is divided into seventeen lines of text representing the DNA of sunflower’s seventeen chromosomes. This reference was constructed via DNA sequencing and assembly of sunflower line HA412, physical mapping using a sequence-based barcoding approach, and genetic mapping based on low coverage DNA sequencing of a highly polymorphic mapping population. I also assembled and annotated a reference genome of sunflower’s mitochondrial genome. Sunflower and its wild relatives are a useful system for studying ecology and evolution. Helianthus annuus may be regarded as a natural compilospecies; adaptive introgressive hybridization with related species has facilitated the expansion of its range over a variety of soils and climates. In addition, the compatibility of sunflower with its extremophile wild relatives offers the opportunity to breed environmentally resilient sunflower cultivars that can cope with global climate change. The resource described in this thesis will be a useful tool for evolutionary biologists and crop breeders with interests pertaining to sunflower genetics.

O clero paroquial e a I República: nova abordagem à querela das pensões (1910-1917)
Creators: name: Pinto, Sérgio Ribeiro
Publisher: name: Lusitania Sacra
Year: 2014

description: O processo de reconfiguração identitária do clero paroquial foi um elemento crucial da disputa social, política e religiosa na transição do regime monárquico para o republicano em Portugal. A laicização do Estado implicou uma alteração profunda na identidade, funções e enquadramento institucional do clero paroquial, até então agente simultaneamente eclesiástico e civil. Retoma-se, a partir de novas fontes, uma questão disputada pelos protagonistas e nunca aquilatada satisfatoriamente pela historiografia: a aferição do impacto que teve a modalidade de sustentação da atividade paroquial proposta pela Lei da Separação – as pensões. Pretende-se enquadrar essa disputa num quadro cronológico mais amplo que permita: compreender a relação entre a identidade eclesiástica e a sua sustentação; esclarecer a diversidade de motivações apresentadas pelo clero paroquial para aceitar ou recusar a pensão; determinar as consequências dessas atitudes no quadro da transformação identitária do Estado Português e da Igreja Católica em Portugal, que ocorreu em simultâneo.

description: Durante los tres siglos de la época virreinal, la Iglesia de Nueva España se constituyó y desarrolló bajo el régimen del Patronato de los reyes. La independencia del antiguo reino americano (1821), si bien no implicó una ruptura inmediata con el pasado, generó tensiones entre la tradición de un régimen confesional y la nueva cultura política moderna. Esto implicó el desplazamiento del Patronato en tres sentidos. De ser figura jurídica de la práctica de la provisión de beneficios, aceptada de manera consensual, se convirtió en elemento de negociación diplomática, dejando paso a otro medio de intervención de la autoridad civil en la provisión, la exclusiva. En segundo lugar, pasó de la literatura jurídica a la opinión pública y a los proyectos políticos e ideológicos de reforma eclesiástica. En fin, el Patronato pasó de la práctica de la provisión de beneficios, al ceremonial político.

description: The aim of this work is to provide fast and accurate approximation schemes for the Monte-Carlo pricing of derivatives in the Lévy LIBOR model of Eberlein and Özkan (2005). Standard methods can be applied to solve the stochastic differential equations of the successive LIBOR rates but the methods are generally slow. We propose an alternative approximation scheme based on Picard iterations. Our approach is similar in accuracy to the full numerical solution, but with the feature that each rate is, unlike the standard method, evolved independently of the other rates in the term structure. This enables simultaneous calculation of derivative prices of different maturities using parallel computing. We include numerical illustrations of the accuracy and speed of our method pricing caplets.

description: The estimate of the change rate of the solar gravitational parameter $\mathrm{d}(GM_{\odot})/\mathrm{d}t$ is obtained from processing modern positional observations of planets and spacecraft. Observations were processed and parameters were determined basing on the numerical planetary ephemeris EPM2019. The obtained annual decrease in solar mass $M_{\odot}$ accounts for the loss through radiation ${\dot M}_{{\odot}\mathrm{rad}}$, through the outgoing solar wind ${\dot M}_{{\odot}{\mathrm{wind}}}$, and for the material falling on the Sun ${\dot M}_{{\odot}\mathrm{fall}}$. The estimated relative value is within $-13.4\cdot 10^{-14} < (\dot M_{\odot} /M_{\odot})_{\mathrm{rad}+\mathrm{wind}+ \mathrm{fall}} < -8.7\cdot 10^{-14}$ per year. The following range for the change rate of the gravitational constant $G$ was obtained: $-2.9 \cdot 10^{-14} < \dot G /G < + 4.6 \cdot 10^{-14}$ per year $(3σ$). The new result reduces the interval for the change in $G$ and narrows the limits of possible deviations for alternative gravitational theories from general relativity.
Full scale train underbody aerodynamic evaluation for top of rail friction modifier application
Creators: name: Mulligan, Quinn Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Liquid jet impingement is employed in the rail industry to apply friction modifier to the rail surface. Use of the friction modifier is known to reduce wear and improve fuel efficiency. L.B. Foster ® deploys friction modifier using a nozzle located downwind of the wheels on freight trains. Understanding the aerodynamic environment of the nozzle is important for researching how to maximize the deposition of the liquid friction modifier from the nozzle to the tracks. The air pressure and velocity at the location of the nozzle was evaluated experimentally at full scale in field trials. The pressure at a fixed ground location was measured by transducers as the train passed. The air velocity in the reference frame of the moving vehicle was measured using a fiber-film anemometer at the location of the liquid-friction-modifier spray nozzle, 0.4 wheel diameters downwind of the wheel center. The measured air speeds scales linearly with the train speed, and the measured pressure scales linearly with the dynamic pressure, implying that Reynolds number effects are negligible. The pressure distribution showed an initial pressure increase just downwind of the leading edge of the vehicle followed by a spike in suction. The pressure distribution was found to depend on the orientation of the vehicle. With a rail car leading the vehicle, the spike in suction produced was about 50% larger than the suction spike produced when a locomotive, lower to the ground, was leading the vehicle. The mean air speed was measured to be approximately 29% of the train speed. The mean air speed the same distance upwind of the wheel was measured to be approximately 38% of the train speed. Turbulence intensity levels were measured to be about 0.15. Cross wind effects became much less significant when the train speed was equal to or greater than the cross wind speed. The train undercarriage airflow was modeled numerically using Autodesk Simulation CFD™ software. The CFD simulations were in approximate agreement (typically, within 2%) with experimental measurements and confirmed that the presence of the support bracket for the anemometer had limited impact on the measured wind speed.

description: El proyecto pastoral de los obispos en 1875, que estimuló la participación política de los católicos como ciudadanos mexicanos, permitió el restablecimiento del poder y la autoridad eclesiástica en México. En 1902, una nueva generación de obispos promovió una pastoral social, con mayor incidencia social y política, conocida como catolicismo social. La obra cumbre de esta etapa fue la formación del Partido Católico Nacional en 1911. El partido, largamente deseado, nació en medio de la crisis política nacional marcada por el fin del gobierno de Porfirio Díaz y el triunfo de la corriente política democrática que encabezó Francisco Madero. Las condiciones políticas de México cambiaron drásticamente en 1913, por el golpe de Estado del general Victoriano Huerta y la reacción armada de los maderistas. La derrota del general Huerta en 1914 implicó un largo exilio de la jerarquía, clero, y algunos dirigentes del partido católico que habían apoyado a Victoriano Huerta. A pesar de la seriedad de sus planteamientos políticos y los éxitos electorales de 1912, que le auguraban un largo porvenir, el partido católico dejó de existir en 1914. Tuvo una vida efímera.

A framework for estimating the effects of congestion pricing : moving towards full-user-pay road pricing
Creators: name: Haber, Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Road pricing has been touted by economists as a tool for financing infrastructure and curbing many of the problems associated with urban transportation such as congestion and pollution. This research establishes a framework for examining the effects of a Full-User-Pay (FUP-RPS), that is a system where road users pay the full cost incurred by driving that includes road maintenance as well as air, noise and water pollution. FUP road pricing scenarios were tested on Metro Vancouver in order to answer three questions: 1) How will an FUP-RPS affect different user groups by geography and transportation mode; 2) Which areas of a region can we expect to become more desirable or less desirable with a fully user pay road pricing system, and; 3) How will business and industry be affected in a FUP-RPS? Three FUP-RPS scenarios were tested, each one subsidizing transit differently. It was found that users of all modes in a FUP-RPS would benefit and that no transportation mode was favoured significantly. Although drivers would experience higher user fees in a FUP- RPS, they would also experience greater benefits in the form of reduced gas taxes and congestion. FUP road pricing also did not make urban areas more desirable than suburban ones. Finally, FUP road pricing was found to reduce the transportation costs for business and industry. The property tax and congestion savings were found to be greater than the anticipated Roadway Facility tolls and externality charges.

Electrochemical characterization of carminic acid towards the use as an electrochemical molecular beacon for nucleic acid detection.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Worldwide, more than a million people die from tuberculosis (TB) every year. Although the disease is curable, treatment is complicated by multi-drug resistant and extensively drug-resistant TB strains. To detect TB and differentiate between its strains, a sensitive and specific point-of-care device is required. Previous studies show that carminic acid (CA), an anthraquinone derivative, is suitable as an electrochemical molecular beacon due to the ability to switch on and off its electrochemical activity on its dimerization. Characterization of the electrochemical activity of CA at low concentrations (1 μM to 1 mM) over a range of pH values was performed using methods such as cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and Koutecky-Levich analysis on a rotating disk electrode. CA species of different protonation, which are predominant at pH 1.1, pH 4.1, pH 6.6 and pH 10.5, were examined in more detail. All measurements were carried out on a glassy carbon electrode in phosphate buffer solution electrolyte. It was found that CA undergoes a diffusion limited two proton two electron redox reaction with an overall peak potential shift of 61 mV per pH unit. Electrochemical measurements of the fully protonated CA resulted in additional current peaks that were assigned to an adsorption process of a CA reduction product. Generally, CA has faster electron transfer kinetics in more acidic environment and no electrochemical activity was observed for the fully deprotonated CA species at pH 10.5. While SWV could be used for quantitative analysis of CA for the concentrations up to 1 mM, its redox current signal was determined not to be concentration dependent at high measurement frequencies. These frequencies can also be adjusted to be more sensitive towards either the redox peak potentials with sharper peaks at low frequencies or the electron transfer kinetics based on kinetic dependent peak currents at high frequencies. The limit of detection for CA at pH 7.0 was found to be as low as 10 nM when measured using 200 Hz SWV.

Re-cycling her words : the transmission of narrative through poetry in the reception of Kenreimon'in Ukyō no Daibu shū within the imperial waka anthologies
Creators: name: Mc Nelly, Kim
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This thesis explores the transmission of narratives and cultural memory through medieval Japanese poetic reception by examining how selections from one aristocratic woman’s memoir are borrowed, omitted, or altered in the cross-genrefication from poetic memoir to poetic anthology. I examine the medieval reception and re-presentation of Kenreimon’in Ukyō no Daibu shū (The Poetic Memoir of Lady Daibu, ca. 1220) within the latter thirteen of twenty-one Japanese imperial poetry anthologies of waka (jūsandaishū), compiled from 1234 to 1439. I focus on her reception within Gyokuyō wakashū (Collection of Jeweled Leaves, ca.1312), and Fūga wakashū (Collection of Elegance, ca.1346), as these two anthologies include ten and six of her poems, respectively, which is more than any of the other anthologies. Their selection of so many of her poems indicates a statistically significant interest in rehabilitating her as a poet. Lady Daibu (ca. 1155-1232) grounds many of the poems in her memoir within a context of love, civil war, and loss through a chronological prose narrative that describes the circumstances of the poems’ composition. I argue that the anthologies transmit narratives about her through their selection of poems, contextualizing headnotes, integration of voices, and structural choices in terms of where her poems are placed within the anthology. While the narratives created in this manner have some connection to Lady Daibu’s self-portrayal within her memoir, such as her romantic relationship with Taira no Sukemori (ca. 1161-1185), connection to the Heike clan, and intimacy with the imperial family, they frequently differ from her own story and each other. In other words, the historical narratives within the anthologies create competing cultural histories about Lady Daibu, the time in which she lived, and the focal point of much of her attention—Sukemori and the Heike clan, who lost the Genpei War (1180-1185). Through this, I focus on the gendered roles female poets occupy within the imperial anthologies in relation to love and lamentation. As all of the anthologies were compiled by men, this thesis also considers how women’s self-writings were reframed in a gendered discourse of men compiling canonical works.

description: Empirical stellar libraries are extensively used to extract stellar kinematics in galaxies and to build stellar population models. An accurate knowledge of the spectral resolution of these libraries is critical to avoid propagation errors and uncertain estimates of the intrinsic stellar velocity dispersion of galaxies. In this research note we re-assess the spectral resolution of the MILES stellar library and of the stellar population models based on it. This exercise was performed, because of a recent controversy over the exact MILES resolution. We perform our test through the comparison of MILES stellar spectra with three different sets of higher-resolution templates, one fully theoretical - the MARCS library - and two empirical ones, namely the Indo-U.S. and ELODIE v3.1 libraries. The theoretical template has a well-defined very high (R=20000) resolution. Hence errors on this theoretical value do not affect our conclusions. Our approach based on the MARCS library was crucial to constrain the values of the resolution also for the other two empirical templates. We find that the MILES resolution has previously been slightly overestimated. We derive a new spectral resolution of 2.54 A FWHM, instead of the nominal 2.3 A. The reason for this difference is due to an overestimation of the resolution for the Indo-U.S. library that was previously used for estimates of the MILES resolution. For the Indo-U.S. we obtain a new value of 1.35 A FWHM. Most importantly, the results derived from the MARCS and ELODIE libraries are in very good agreement. These results are important for users of the MILES spectra library and for further development of stellar population models aimed to obtain accurate stellar kinematics in galaxies.

description: Cellular processes requiring cytoskeletal rearrangements such as adhesion, spreading, immune synapse formation, and migration are crucial for normal B-lymphocyte (B cell) development and for immune responses. Our lab has shown that the gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) is both necessary and sufficient for promoting B cell adhesion, B cell receptor (BCR)-mediated spreading, B cell motility and migration. The carboxyl tail (CT) of Cx43 is important for these effects and the hypothesis is that specific regions of the CT contain sites important for interactions that can influence these processes. To identify these regions, a series of deletions and point mutations in the CT of Cx43 were made. These mutated proteins were expressed in mouse B cell lines and examined for localization, cell surface expression and for their effect on supporting cell spreading in response to BCR-signaling, the latter assay being used as one ‘read-out’ for cytoskeletal rearrangements. With regard to BCR-mediated cell spreading, the data in this thesis from the Cx43 deletions showed that the amino acids in the Cx43 CT between 246 and 307 are the most important, and that amino acids between 307 and 382 are less critical. In addition, since one of the most important proximal signaling events after BCR signaling is the activation of different protein tyrosine kinases, the effects of different tyrosine mutations in the Cx43 CT were examined. Three point mutations at tyrosine (Y) 247, 265 and 267 to phenylalanine (F), and a double mutant, Y247F/Y265F, were made and their effect on BCR-mediated spreading assessed. All of these tyrosine mutations in the Cx43 CT were found to impede BCR-mediated cell spreading. These findings have helped to better define the region of the Cx43 CT critical for regulating cytoskeletal rearrangements in response to BCR signaling. Future studies will identify other important residues of the CT, with the goal to identify the importance of these sites. These results will provide novel insights into understanding basic B lymphocyte responses that contribute to immune function, and can lead to identifying potential targets for the development of therapeutics to treat immune diseases.

description: Hysteretic I-V (current-voltage) is studied in narrow Al nanowires. The nanowires have a cross section as small as 50 nm^2. We focus on the retapping current in a down-sweep of the current, at which a nanowire re-enters the superconducting state from a normal state. The retrapping current is found to be significantly smaller than the switching current at which the nanowire switches into the normal state from a superconducting state during a current up-sweep. For wires of different lengths, we analyze the heat removal due to various processes, including electronic and phonon processes. For a short wires 1.5 um in length, electronic thermal conduction is effective; for longer wires 10um in length, phonon conduction becomes important. We demonstrate that the measured retrapping current as a function of temperature can be quantitatively accounted for by the selfheating occurring in the normal portions of the nanowires to better than 20 % accuracy. For the phonon processes, the extracted thermal conduction parameters support the notion of a reduced phase-space below 3-dimensions, consistent with the phonon thermal wavelength having exceeded the lateral dimensions at temperatures below ~ 1.3K. Nevertheless, surprisingly the best fit was achieved with a functional form corresponding to 3-dimensional phonons, albeit requiring parameters far exceeding known values in the literature.

description: Theories of gravity other than general relativity (GR) can explain the observed cosmic acceleration without a cosmological constant. One such class of theories of gravity is f(R). Metric f(R) theories have been proven to be equivalent to Brans-Dicke (BD) scalar-tensor gravity without a kinetic term. Using this equivalence and a 3+1 decomposition of the theory it has been shown that metric f(R) gravity admits a well-posed initial value problem. However, it has not been proven that the 3+1 evolution equations of metric f(R) gravity preserve the (hamiltonian and momentum) constraints. In this paper we show that this is indeed the case. In addition, we show that the mathematical form of the constraint propagation equations in BD-equilavent f(R) gravity and in f(R) gravity in both the Jordan and Einstein frames, is exactly the same as in the standard ADM 3+1 decomposition of GR. Finally, we point out that current numerical relativity codes can incorporate the 3+1 evolution equations of metric f(R) gravity by modifying the stress-energy tensor and adding an additional scalar field evolution equation. We hope that this work will serve as a starting point for relativists to develop fully dynamical codes for valid f(R) models.

description: This Practical Guide in the Bringing Bioinformatics into the Classroom series outlines a number of basic bioinformatics approaches that can be used to understand the molecular basis of genetic diseases. A rare variation in the insulin gene is discussed, and the impact of the variation on the gene product, and how this results in disease, is explored.

Specifically, this Guide introduces a range of commonly used bioinformatics tools and databases with which to analyse both DNA and protein sequences, and protein structures. On reading the Guide and completing the exercises, users will be able to:

	investigate the locations of genes on the human genome using a genome browser;
	compare DNA sequences using an alignment tool;
	translate a DNA sequence into its protein product;
	search a protein structure database, and visualise the 3D structure of insulin; and
	infer whether insulin is specific to humans by using protein sequence database search tools.

description: It has often been suggested that supernova remnants (SNRs) can trigger star formation. To investigate the relationship between SNRs and star formation, we have examined the known sample of 45 SNRs in the Large Magellanic Cloud to search for associated young stellar objects (YSOs) and molecular clouds. We find seven SNRs associated with both YSOs and molecular clouds, three SNRs associated with YSOs but not molecular clouds, and eight SNRs near molecular clouds but not associated with YSOs. Among the 10 SNRs associated with YSOs, the association between the YSOs and SNRs can be either rejected or cannot be convincingly established for eight cases. Only two SNRs have YSOs closely aligned along their rims; however, the time elapsed since the SNR began to interact with the YSOs' natal clouds is much shorter than the contraction timescales of the YSOs, and thus we do not see any evidence of SNR-triggered star formation in the LMC. The 15 SNRs that are near molecular clouds may trigger star formation in the future when the SNR shocks have slowed down to <45 km/s. We discuss how SNRs can alter the physical properties and abundances of YSOs.

Density functional theory for a model quantum dot: Beyond the local-density approximation

description: We study both static and transport properties of model quantum dots, employing density functional theory as well as (numerically) exact methods. For the lattice model under consideration the accuracy of the local-density approximation generally is poor. For weak interaction, however, accurate results are achieved within the optimized effective potential method, while for intermediate interaction strengths a method combining the exact diagonalization of small clusters with density functional theory is very successful. Results obtained from the latter approach yield very good agreement with density matrix renormalization group studies, where the full Hamiltonian consisting of the dot and the attached leads has to be diagonalized. Furthermore we address the question whether static density functional theory is able to predict the exact linear conductance through the dot correctly - with, in general, negative answer.

The identification of new mediators of soma-germline interactions in the Drosophila melanogaster testis
Creators: name: Islam, Fayeza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Animal gonads contain two types of cells, the soma and the germline. Interactions between these two tissues regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, patterning, and homeostasis in the gonad during development and throughout the life of the organism. In particular, interactions between the soma and germline in the gonads regulate the behavior of germline stem cells (GSCs). Disruption of germline-soma interactions has severe consequences for gametogenesis and especially on GSC function, resulting in sterility, formation of somatic and germline tumors, and defective sexual determination of the germline. The Drosophila melanogaster gonads provide a powerful, established, model system to study how soma-germline interactions regulate GSC function as well as spermatogenesis. Soma-germline interactions are initiated at the stem cell niche where both germline and somatic stem cells are housed. Upon exit from the stem cell niche, the soma encapsulates the germline. The association and communication between the soma and germline ensures proper differentiation of the germline into mature sperm. Signaling events between the germline and soma regulate germline stem cell self-renewal, displacement from the niche, and encystment of germ cells. The cell biological mechanisms that set up the milieu in which these signaling events take place are poorly understood. In order to better understand the regulation of soma-germline interactions, we are performing a genetic screen using tissue-specific RNAi and fertility assays to identify genes involved in this process. We have identified over 200 genes necessary in the soma for spermatogenesis. Here I describe the characterization and classification of genes identified in the screen, as well as initial attempts to understand their role in the fly testis. The identification and characterization of the novel genes that mediate soma-germline interactions will provide crucial insight into the basic mechanisms that regulate spermatogenesis.
