description: Poinsettia is an economically important ornamental potted plant in which certain bract colour variants are often obtained by mutation breeding. Previously, in poinsettia, we identified Bract1, a GST gene involved in the sequestration and transport of anthocyanins to the vacuole. This gene carries a short, highly mutable 4-bp repeat in its coding region. Loss of one repeat unit leads to a loss of function for Bract1, and in homozygous mutants, anthocyanin-based coloration is absent, resulting in white or cream-coloured bracts. Although mutation induction through ionizing radiation leads to a high frequency of mutations in Bract1, mutants are difficult to obtain from homozygous red genotypes. In this study, we used Bract1-specific amplicon sequencing as a tool to identify mutations in pools of tissues, which enabled the detection of mutations in dilutions of up to one mutant in 50 nonmutated samples. This approach enabled efficient screening of recalcitrant homozygous genotypes for mutated alleles and the reduction of the mutation load in the application of ionizing radiation in mutation breeding programmes.
A role for mitotic SUMOylation in establishing nuclear envelope structure
Creators: Saik, Natasha, O.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The compartmentalization of subcellular functions facilitates the regulation of biochemical reactions and cellular processes. The compartmentalization of the eukaryotic genome into the nucleus by the nuclear envelope (NE), for example, facilitates various DNA metabolic activities. The NE is composed of two lipid bilayers: an outer nuclear membrane (ONM) and an inner nuclear membrane (INM). The INM provides an environment for the proper regulation and organization of interacting chromatin. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, INM-associated chromatin includes telomeres and specific transcriptionally active genes. Multiple mechanisms are employed to tether these chromatin regions to the INM, including post-translational modifications. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification linked to regulating the spatial organization of chromatin relative to the nuclear periphery. Therefore, we investigated the contributions of SUMOylation in mediating chromatin interactions with the INM in response to specific cellular events. We observed that activation of an inducible gene, INO1, is accompanied by alterations in the SUMOylation of proteins associated with specific regions along the INO1 locus. Furthermore, we show that the E3 SUMO ligase, Siz2, is required to facilitate these SUMOylation events and target the INO1 locus to the INM. Following these analyses, we further investigated Siz2 and Siz2-mediated SUMOylation events at the INM.

We found that Siz2 is predominantly distributed throughout the nucleoplasm during interphase but is recruited to the INM during mitosis, where it binds and SUMOylates several proteins, including Scs2. Scs2 is an integral

iii

membrane protein found throughout the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and by analyses here, the INM. We show that a putative FFAT motif in Siz2 is required to interact with the MSP domain of Scs2. These interactions are further supported by the mitotic phosphorylation of Siz2 and the SUMOylation of Scs2 by Siz2. Formation of the Scs2-Siz2 complex at the INM during mitosis drives the accumulation of SUMO conjugates at the INM, including SUMOylated Scs2 and other specific proteins. The mitotic SUMOylation of these proteins supports the assembly and anchorage of subtelomeric chromatin and the activated INO1 at the INM during the later stages of mitosis and the subsequent G1-phase. The mitotic SUMOylation of these specific proteins is also required for the proliferation of the NE. These SUMOylation events facilitate the accumulation of phosphatic acid (PA) at the INM during mitosis by altering specific protein interactions of PA metabolism regulators. In summary, we have uncovered previously undefined spatial and temporally regulated SUMOylation events mediated by Siz2 at the NE during mitosis. These events function to support and coordinate multiple processes necessary for establishing nuclear envelope structure, including chromatin association with the NE and membrane proliferation.

description: We have selected the positions of 54 6.7GHz methanol masers from the Methanol Multibeam Survey catalogue, covering a range of longitudes between $20^{\circ}$ and $34^{\circ}$ of the Galactic Plane. These positions were mapped in the J=3-2 transition of both the $\rm{^{13}CO}$ and $\rm{C^{18}O}$ lines. A total of 58 $\rm{^{13}CO}$ emission peaks are found in the vicinity of these maser positions. We search for outflows around all $\rm{^{13}CO}$ peaks, and find evidence for high-velocity gas in all cases, spatially resolving the red and blue outflow lobes in 55 cases. Of these sources, 44 have resolved kinematic distances, and are closely associated with the 6.7GHz masers, a sub-set referred to as Methanol Maser Associated Outflows (MMAOs). We calculate the masses of the clumps associated with each peak using 870 $\rm{μm}$ continuum emission from the ATLASGAL survey. A strong correlation is seen between the clump mass and both outflow mass and mechanical force, lending support to models in which accretion is strongly linked to outflow. We find that the scaling law between outflow activity and clump masses observed for low-mass objects, is also followed by the MMAOs in this study, indicating a commonality in the formation processes of low-mass and high-mass stars.

description: This report summarizes the methodology and results of on-site organization and cataloging of map and architectural drawings collections performed by Martha Doty Freeman for the Fort Worth District Corps of Engineers at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas. The organization and cataloging of historic maps occurred between September and October 1989; the organization of architectural drawings occurred between September 1989 and January 1990. Contract DACA 63-89-D-0063 also called for the completion of catalog forms for both the map and drawings collections, utilizing the catalog forms developed under an earlier delivery order with another contractor. The forms were completed in April 1990. Results of the archivist’s activities between September 1989 and April 1990 are presented in this report. A summary of the tasks called for is provided together with a discussion of the conditions at Fort Sam Houston which affected the execution of those tasks. The condition of the various collections at the initiation of the project is described, and subsequent organizational and curatorial activities are discussed. Finally, recommendations concerning the future use, storage, and preservation of the maps and drawings are offered.
A Geometallurgical Approach to Assessing Critical Metal Mobility and Recoverability from Ultramafic Mine Tailings
Creators: Honda-McNeil, Makoto J
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Critical metals (e.g., nickel and cobalt) are increasingly in demand for the production and storage of cleaner energy but their supplies are finite. Ultramafic mine tailings could be reprocessed as a source of critical metals. These waste materials host an array of critical transition metals and can sequester atmospheric carbon during weathering. However, the partitioning behavior of nickel and cobalt between mineral phases and the abundances of these metals in ultramafic tailings and greenfield ore deposits is imprecisely known. Ultramafic tailings and ore from post-mining (Lord Brassey, Tasmania) and pre-mining (Record Ridge, British Columbia) settings were analyzed in order to observe the behavior of critical transition metals over the mining lifecycle. X-ray diffraction (XRD) supplemented by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to identify widespread sulfides, oxides and alloys, which host numerous critical transition metals. Raman spectroscopy was used to identify amorphous carbonate and iron oxyhydroxide minerals, which sequester these metals upon alteration and weathering, and X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) displayed an increase in the concentration of nickel and cobalt in weathered and sulfide-rich zones. The integration of quantitative X-ray diffraction (QXRD) and electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) data from the Lord Brassey samples was used to (1) determine that these tailings qualify as low-grade nickel and cobalt ore and (2) produce an analytical tool for accurate calculation of whole rock elemental abundances that provides supplementary mineralogical abundances and compositions. This methodology produced results comparable to an industry whole rock analysis and provides a better understanding of mineralogy, stoichiometry and the grade of tailings with general applicability to geometallurgical assessments of tailings and ore. The results of this thesis indicate there is merit in reprocessing ultramafic mine tailings for nickel and cobalt and we suggest that tailings storage facilities could be incorporated into the ore processing circuit as part of mine plans.
title: The Efficacy of Nanoemulsion-Based Delivery Systems to Improve Vitamin D3 Bioaccessibility and Bioavailability
Creators: name: Kadappan, Alagu Selvi
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Vitamin D deficiency is an epidemic issue in all age groups in Western countries and that affects both skeletal and non-skeletal functions. Even with the wide application of food fortification, vitamin D deficiency tends to increase continuously. Being hydrophobic in nature, vitamin D has poor solubility; thereby it negatively affects its absorption and bioavailability when compared to other hydrophilic dietary compounds. The need to develop a novel strategy is of greater importance to enhance its bioavailability and thereby improving vitamin D level in the body.
In this study, lipid-based delivery of oil-in-water nanoemulsion (diameter < 200nm) was utilized to improve the bioaccessibility and oral bioavailability of vitamin D3. First, we examined the in vitro relative bioaccessibility of nanoencapsulated vitamin D3 using a simulated gastrointestinal system. The study results showed that nanoemulsion-based delivery system significantly increased the relative bioaccessibility by 3.94 fold when compared to the coarse emulsion (diameter >200nm), as indicated by the concentration of vitamin D3 in the mixed micelles.
To evaluate the in vivo bioavailability of vitamin D3 an animal study was conducted. Mice were assigned randomly to three groups: vitamin D3 nanoemulsion (n=6), coarse emulsion (diameter > 200nm) (n=6) and vehicle (nanoemulsion without vitamin D3) (n=3), which is the control group. After 3-days of feeding emulsion by mixing in drinking water, the serum 25(OH)D3, a biomarker of vitamin D availability, was measured using immunoassay. We found that serum 25(OH)D3 level in animals fed with vitamin D3 nanoemulsion was significantly higher than in those animals fed with coarse emulsion (22.7 ± 1.10 ngmL-1 vs 17.92 ± 2.82 ngmL-1). It indicated that nanoemulsion improved the in vivo bioavailability by 28%. These results showed that the nano-based delivery systems can be utilized to improve vitamin D level, and further human studies are warranted for its application to the human population in order to improve the vitamin D status.

description: Most new vehicles manufactured in the last two years are connected vehicles (CV) that transmit back to the original equipment manufacturer at near real-time fidelity. These CVs generate billions of data points on an hourly basis, which can provide valuable data to agencies to improve the overall mobility experience for users. However, with this growing scale of CV big data, stakeholders need efficient and scalable methodologies that allow agencies to draw actionable insights from this large-scale data for daily operational use. This dissertation presents a suite of applications, illustrated through case studies, that use CV data for assessing and managing mobility and safety on surface transportation systems. A systematic review of construction zone CV data and crashes on Indiana’s interstates for the calendar year 2019, found a strong correlation between crashes and hard-braking event data reported by CVs. Trajectory-level CV data analyzed for a construction zone on interstate 70 provided valuable insights into travel time and traffic signal performance impacts on the surrounding road network. An 11-state analysis of electric and hybrid vehicle usage in proximity to public charging stations highlighted regions under and overserved by charging infrastructure, providing quantitative support for infrastructure investment allocations informed by real-world usage trends. CV data were further leveraged to document route choice behavior during active freeway incidents providing stakeholders with a historical record of observed routing patterns to inform future alternate route planning strategies. CV trajectory data analysis facilitated the identification of trip chaining activities resulting in improved outlier curation and realistic estimation of travel time metrics. The overall contribution of this thesis is developing analytical big data procedures to process billions of CV data records to inform engineering and public policy investments in infrastructure capacity, highway safety improvements, and new EV infrastructure. These scalable and efficient analysis techniques proposed in this dissertation will help agencies at the federal, state and local levels in addition to private sector stakeholders in assessing transportation system performance at-scale and enable informed data-driven decision making.

description: We established a 5,000 m thick profile through the paleo lower oceanic crust of the Samail ophiolite (Sultanate of Oman, Wadi Gideah), in order to investigate accretion processes beneath fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges. The Samail ophiolite is regarded as best on-land analog for fast-spread oceanic crust, and Wadi Gideah allows sampling of the entire lower crust along the Wadi bed. Here, we provide microstructural constraints to lower crustal accretion beneath fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges, which reveal changing microstructures and fabrics with depth. Grain size coarsening occurs from the foliated to the layered gabbro section. A ∼350 m thick zone of gabbroic rocks from the profile top, interpreted as frozen fillings of the axial melt lens and defined as varitextured gabbros, shows intergranular textures without crystallographic preferred orientations. Rocks from the varitextured/foliated gabbro transition (∼500 m thick) and from the upper foliated gabbros (∼600 m) are foliated and lineated. The lineation is absent or very weak in the underlying ∼800 m thick lower foliated gabbros. In layered gabbros, the fabric gradually strengthens and becomes more lineated down section with local scattering at small spatial scales. This implies distinct accretion mechanisms in the deep and shallow plutonic crust. For the layered and lower foliated gabbros, our data suggest in-situ crystallizing individual magma reservoirs. Dominant lineation in the upper foliated gabbros and the varitextured/foliated gabbro transition suggests vertically transported crystal-laden melts or mushes being consistent with subsiding crystal mushes from the axial melt lens, and/or crystallizing upward migrating melt expelled from the crystal mush beneath.

description: In earlier works we introduced and tested a nonlinear force-free (NLFF) method designed to self-consistently calculate the free magnetic energy and the relative magnetic helicity budgets of the corona of observed solar magnetic structures. The method requires, in principle, only a single, photospheric or low-chromospheric, vector magnetogram of a quiet-Sun patch or an active region and performs calculations in the absence of three-dimensional magnetic and velocity-field information. In this work we strictly validate this method using three-dimensional coronal magnetic fields. Benchmarking employs both synthetic, three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations and nonlinear force-free field extrapolations of the active-region solar corona. We find that our time-efficient NLFF method provides budgets that differ from those of more demanding semi-analytical methods by a factor of ~3, at most. This difference is expected from the physical concept and the construction of the method. Temporal correlations show more discrepancies that, however, are soundly improved for more complex, massive active regions, reaching correlation coefficients of the order of, or exceeding, 0.9. In conclusion, we argue that our NLFF method can be reliably used for a routine and fast calculation of free magnetic energy and relative magnetic helicity budgets in targeted parts of the solar magnetized corona. As explained here and in previous works, this is an asset that can lead to valuable insight into the physics and the triggering of solar eruptions.

Strain Based Analysis for Dented Pipelines
Creators: Mehranfar, Mahyar
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Abstract

It is easier and cheaper to transmit oil and gas by pipeline, but their failure can cause considerable environmental and societal consequences. The denting of pipelines is one of the significant challenges faced by those in the oil and gas industry. The formation of dents in the wall of the pipeline can cause lower pressure capacity. Analytical and numerical models, such as the finite element method (FEA), can predict this issue.

The traditional way for recognizing the seriousness of the dent is to test the dent depth. But unfortunately, this method cannot predict the probability of failure accurately. Based on previous research, there are two ways to assess the seriousness of the dents. The first method is to model the pipe by finite element method. While very accurate, the finite element method is very computationally demanding and time consuming. The second method utilizes the dent profile to perform strain-based analysis. While very fast, the method suffers from lack of accuracy particularly in predicting the strains in the longitudinal direction.

The first objective of this research was to develop a technique that takes into consideration the membrane strains in the longitudinal direction. The second objective was to test the performance of the new technique on a variety of pipeline dents. The developed method is based on the three-dimensional mathematical model proposed by Okoloekwe et al.

In the original model proposed by Okoloekwe et al, it was assumed that the displacement in the mid-line of the pipeline is zero, but we found this displacement and added it to the displacement in the horizontal direction. Our study found that the modification yielded significantly better longitudinal strain distribution than the conventional procedure. The newly developed methods provide an increase in accuracy and speed of the analytical process without sacrificing accuracy.

A number of two-dimensional and three-dimensional models were examined to verify the method. Contrary to the longitudinal results, these results were very accurate in the circumferential direction. With respect to the FEA results, our proposed technique is much faster, more accurate, and more reliable than previously developed analytical methods.

description: Human amniotic membrane (hAM) has been employed as scaffolding material in a wide range of tissue engineering applications, especially as a skin dressing and as a graft for corneal treatment, due to the structure of the extracellular matrix and excellent biological properties that enhance both wound healing and tissue regeneration. This review highlights recent work and current knowledge on the application of native hAM, and/or production of hAM-based tissue-engineered products to create scaffolds mimicking the structure of the native membrane to enhance the hAM performance. Moreover, an overview is presented on the available (cryo) preservation techniques for storage of native hAM and tissue-engineered products that are necessary to maintain biological functions such as angiogenesis, anti-inflammation, antifibrotic and antibacterial activity.

description: This article discusses characteristics and forms of international collaborative research projects (ICRPs) and provides conceptual considerations as well as initial empirical insights on the impact of funding conditions on ICRPs in the social sciences and external project funding. Specifically, by presenting a German case study of funding formats in two national funding institutions and the funding tools of the European Commission in Horizon 2020. The findings draw on desk-research and a review of research on the relationship between funding and international research collaboration. The analysis used a conceptual perspective, that understands research projects as temporary organisations, to discuss characteristics of international collaborative research projects and to provide a descriptive analysis of the funding conditions for ICRPs. The article systematises different forms of ICRPs and suggest differentiating them along their variety by four ICRP attributes: size, geographical distance, funding structures and funding formats. The discussion section elaborates on implications for future research and practice​.

description: Informing and engaging the public in new scientific findings is becoming increasingly important. Graduate students are thus encouraged to develop skill in writing for an audience beyond their discipline. This article concerns writing by master’s biology students of an assignment-type modelled on News and Views articles. Published News and Views articles, which are written by experts, summarise and critique a newly published study for the wider scientific community. To be convincing, academic writers must project an authoritative stance towards their topic and developing this ability is important for postgraduate students. They also need to be skilled at engaging readers, taking account of their readers’ prior knowledge and their readers’ need for recognition as disciplinary members. Using Hyland’s (2018) model of interactional metadiscourse, this article compares a corpus of 30 News and Views assignments by master’s biology students with 55 biology News and Views articles written by experts. We found that experts were skilled at using stance resources to project an authoritative identity, while students hesitated to explicitly include themselves in their writing; students’ use of stance resources also reflected the limited nature of their topic knowledge. Students were relatively skilled at using engagement resources to include readers in the text, but some misjudged the audience and wrote for a broader, less knowledgeable audience. Suggestions are made for how these findings can be used to guide students in expressing an authoritative stance and engaging their audience.

description: We analyze the daily stock data of the Nasdaq Composite index in the 22-year period 1992-2013 and identify market states as clusters of correlation matrices with similar correlation structures. We investigate the stability of the correlation structure of each state by estimating the statistical fluctuations of correlations due to their non-stationarity. Our study is based on a random matrix approach recently introduced to model the non-stationarity of correlations by an ensemble of random matrices. This approach reduces the complexity of the correlated market to a single parameter which characterizes the fluctuations of the correlations and can be determined directly from the empirical return distributions. This parameter provides an insight into the stability of the correlation structure of each market state as well as into the correlation structure dynamics in the whole observation period. The analysis reveals an intriguing relationship between average correlation and correlation fluctuations. The strongest fluctuations occur during periods of high average correlation which is the case particularly in times of crisis.

Extraction of The Major Egg White Proteins- Optimization and Scale-Up
Creators: Kharbanda, Manjot Singh Kuldip Singh

Eggs are an excellent source of nutrients. Egg whites are used in food, cosmetic, and biotechnology industries for a plethora of physiological functions that they demonstrate due to their proteins. Although these proteins look promising, they can be utilised only after they have been isolated/extracted from the egg white. The objectives of this study were to develop a procedure for the extraction of the major egg white proteins, lysozyme (LSZ), ovomucin (OVM), ovotransferrin (OVT), and ovalbumin (OVA), and to simplify the developed method in order to execute a step wise scale-up from a lab scale (100 g egg white) to a pilot scale (20 kg egg white). The specific focus of this study was to improve the existing protocols in order to reduce the experimental setup requirement and thus reduce the cost of extraction. This was achieved by optimizing the extraction conditions for LSZ (cation exchange resin based separation), applying the traditional siphon filtration for the separation of resin particle, OVM, and OVT precipitates, and elimination of any heat treatments for OVA purification.

In case of LSZ, the extraction was achieved in a shorter time (180 min), with lesser resin dosage (2 g/100 g egg white) and without any pH buffers. For OVM, a modification of the 2-step method was performed and for the scale up study, siphon filtration was used. OVT was separated by the ammonium sulfate and citric acid salting out method and OVA was obtained as a supernatant at the end of the process and needed no further purification. The siphon filter used was designed indigenously in the lab using food grade transparent vinyl tubing, stainless steel mesh (100 mesh size for resin separation and 400 mesh size for precipitate separation), and waterproof silicone sealing tape to hold the filter in place with the tube opening and avoid any leakages. The proteins extracted in this study had comparable purities and yields than the previously reported methods. For example, from 100 g egg white, an average yield of 58% for LSZ, 83% for OVM, 75% for OVT, and 99% for OVA were achieved, and the average purities were 92%, 85%, 69%, and 94%, respectively. The process developed in this study is easy to adapt and has a potential for scale-up to an industrial scale as was proven from our stepwise scale up batches of 1kg and 20kg which achieved similar average yields and purities (p>0.05).

The ontogenetic patterns of habitat use by a community of fishes in the main channel of the Broken River, an Australian lowland river, was investigated. Stratified sampling was conducted fortnightly across six habitat types throughout the spring‐summer period within the main channel. As predicted by the 'low flow recruitment hypothesis', backwaters and still littoral habitats were important nursery habitats for most species. These habitats were found to be used by some species throughout all stages of their life cycle, while other species showed clear ontogenetic shifts in habitat preference. Only one species, Murray cod Maccullochella peelii peelii, was never found in backwaters. This study confirms the significance of main channel habitats in the rearing of larvae of some riverine fish species, and emphasizes the importance of considering the habitat requirements of all stages of a fish's life cycle in the management and restoration of rivers and streams.
title: Changes in Color Guidance over the Course of a Complex Visual Search

description: When searching for an object, we store a mental representation of the target, which guides our search through the use of attention. The effectiveness of this search guidance varies depending on the task and the relationship between target and distractors. With a better understanding of how search guidance changes over time within a trial, we can better compare the differences between experimental conditions. Eye tracking data from a variety of search tasks were analyzed to determine how color guidance varied over the course of the trial. Color guidance for a given fixation was evaluated based on the distance in color space between the nearest object and the target color. These color differences were averaged over all of the trials and plotted based on when the fixation occurred in the trial. The results indicate that color guidance does not begin working at maximum effectiveness immediately. As the trial progresses, the average color difference decreases. After this initial decrease, if the target is not present, guidance becomes less selective and target dissimilar distractors are increasingly fixated. The color distance graphs were compared between experiments to reveal significant differences arising from the experimental conditions.

description: The world's water resources are continuously facing challenges in fulfilling the needs of increasing agricultural water demand with finite or diminishing resources. Therefore, it is important to quantify the amount of irrigation water required to attain sustainable yield at a local, regional, and global level, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. This is mostly quantified by using agro-hydrological or agricultural models. The advances in simulation models and several options incorporated in them allow catchment/site-specific application of irrigation water to depict the field management practices undertaken by farmers. The objective of the present study is to provide a review of the simulation of irrigation water demand at catchment scale by agro-hydrological and agricultural models. This study discusses the different types of models, their dimensions, and the hydrological and agricultural process models incorporated into them. Additionally, this review provides an overview of how irrigation can be scheduled, how water is applied, and from which sources irrigation water can be extracted by the considered models, taking horizontal hydrological connectivity into consideration. Adding to the model review, seven different fields of innovative case studies are covered. Many agricultural models have been applied in a regional context without simulating horizontal hydrological fluxes, but only a few hydrological catchment models provide full support of both irrigation and plant growth simulation, which are important for the simulation of future crop yield under different climatic and agricultural management scenarios.
