description: This thesis traces the origins of the Great Game, a geopolitical conflict between the British and Russian Empires in Central Asia to the intellectual and constitutional construction of 'British India' after the Battle of Plassey in 1757. Using a diverse range of ideas and facets of British and Indian society it will examine how the East India Company, the Mughal Empire and the domestic British state all contributed to the development of the Great Game in the middle of the nineteenth century. By examining how British politicians and scholars interpreted the nature of British sovereignty and government in Bengal, it will demonstrate that once the East India Company had secured territorial domain in India, its employees set about interpreting many of the political, legal and religious ideas and traditions of Indian society in a way that made them more governable for Britons. This exercise in intellectual imperialism, in turn, had many unforeseen consequences, one of which was a propensity to expand the British Indian state into the rest of the subcontinent. This paper uses a variety of primary sources and the rich historiography of British India from recent decades to examine and evaluate this interesting and important episode.

Subjects: subject: Political Science, General.

description: This thesis explores the meaning of effective representation for Official Language Minority groups in Canada. After examining different theories of representation and describing the evolution of Canada's system of representation since Confederation, we turn to the federal court case of Raiche v Canada to better uncover the recent discourse around federal representation for groups identified as "communities of interest" or identity." As the first court case in Canadian history to overturn the redistribution proposed by a Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission based on a community's linguistic rights, Raiche v Canada set a precedent for defining communities of interest and identity to include Official Language Minority groups. In this sense, it set the groundwork for asserting more substantial consideration of these communities' rights in the electoral boundary redistribution process and for ensuring more effective representation for national minorities within federal institutions. While Raiche v Canada demonstrates a significant step forward in realizing meaningful representation for communities of interest and identity, this thesis concludes that achieving effective representation for Official Language Minority groups will require the reimagining and redefinition of representation in Canada.

description: Background: Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1) is the prototypic member of the cold shock protein family that fulfills numerous cellular functions. In the nucleus YB-1 protein orchestrates transcription of proliferation-related genes, whereas in the cytoplasm it associates with mRNA and directs translation. In human tumor entities, such as breast, lung and prostate cancer, cellular YB-1 expression indicates poor clinical outcome, suggesting that YB-1 is an attractive marker to predict patients' prognosis and, potentially, is suitable to individualize treatment protocols. Given these predictive qualities of YB-1 detection we sought to establish a highly specific monoclonal antibody (Mab) for diagnostic testing and its characterization towards outcome prediction (relapse-free and overall survival). Methods Hybridoma cell generation was carried out with recombinant YB-1 protein as immunogen and Mab characterization was performed using immunoblotting and ELISA with recombinant and tagged YB-1 proteins, as well as immunohistochemistry of healthy and breast cancer specimens. Breast tumor tissue array staining results were analyzed for correlations with receptor expression and outcome parameters. Results YB-1-specific Mab F-E2G5 associates with conformational binding epitopes mapping to two domains within the N-terminal half of the protein and detects nuclear YB-1 protein by immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissues. Prognostic evaluation of Mab F-E2G5 was performed by immunohistochemistry of a human breast cancer tissue microarray comprising 179 invasive breast cancers, 8 ductal carcinoma in situ and 37 normal breast tissue samples. Nuclear YB-1 detection in human breast cancer cells was associated with poor overall survival (p = 0.0046). We observed a close correlation between nuclear YB-1 detection and absence of progesterone receptor expression (p = 0.002), indicating that nuclear YB-1 detection marks a specific subgroup of breast cancer. Likely due to limitation of sample size Cox regression models failed to demonstrate significance for nuclear YB-1 detection as independent prognostic marker. Conclusion Monoclonal YB-1 antibody F-E2G5 should be of great value for prospective studies to validate YB-1 as a novel biomarker suitable to optimize breast cancer treatment.

description: Les innombrables interprétations de l'oeuvre de Nicolas Machiavel se succèdent et se contredisent depuis cinq cents ans, mais il en est bien peu pour douter des préjugés défavorables qu'elle véhicule envers les femmes. Sans découvrir chez l'auteur florentin un féminisme improbable, la présente thèse propose de retourner profondement dans ses textes politiques pour reconstituer la critique disséminée qu'il fait de l'exclusion et voir si, ultimement, elle peut et doit s'appliquer à celle des femmes. La prémisse sur laquelle se construit l'interprétation est que la politique machiavélienne -- ce dispositif théorique, cette vision particulière de l'histoire -- a pour fin ultime la gloire et la durée de la patrie. Partant, nous faisons l'hypothèse que l'exclusion, meme celle des femmes, est critiquée implicitement dans la politique machiavélienne en raison de la menace qu'elle pose pour la patrie.

description: Background: Using a cohort of British Columbian male sawmill workers, we conducted a nested case-control study of the impact of rural compared to urban residence as well as rural/urban migration patterns in relation to hospitalization for non-work injury. We postulate that for many types of non-work injuries, rates will be higher in rural communities than in urban ones and that rates will also be higher for workers who migrate from urban to rural communities. Methods Using conditional logistic regression, univariate models were first run with each of five non-work injury outcomes. These outcomes were hospitalizations due to assault, accidental poisoning, medical mis-adventure, motor vehicle trauma, and other non-work injuries. In multivariate models marital status, ethnicity, duration of employment, and occupation were forced into the model and associations with urban, compared to rural, residence and various urban/migration patterns were tested. Results Urban or rural residence and migration status from urban to other communities, and across rural communities, were not associated with hospitalization for medical misadventure, assault, or accidental poisoning. The likelihood of a rural resident being hospitalized for motor vehicle trauma is higher than for an urban resident. The likelihood that a rural resident is hospitalized for "other" non-work injury is higher than for an urban resident. Conclusion In a relatively homogenous group of workers, and using a rigorous study design, we have demonstrated that the odds of other non-work injury are much higher for workers resident in and migrating to rural regions of Canada than they are for workers resident in or migrating to urban places.
Commentary on Vorobjov et al., "Comparison of injection drug users who obtain syringes from pharmacies and syringe exchange programs in Tallinn, Estonia"

description: Recent data suggest that globally, between 5% and 10% of all new HIV cases are the result of unsafe injecting practices, and experts agree that reducing these practices is key to tackling the spread of HIV. And yet, despite the overwhelming evidence that providing sterile syringes to injection drug users (IDU) through syringe exchange programs (SEPs) or other means is an effective way of reducing HIV transmission among high-risk subpopulations, IDU in most settings still do not have access to sterile injecting equipment or if they do, access remains too restricted to effectively reduce the risk of HIV transmission. Vorobjov and colleagues have presented in this journal an interesting and timely study from Estonia comparing individuals who obtain syringes from SEPs and those who obtain syringes from pharmacies. As the authors point out, Estonia faces an unacceptably high HIV incidence rate of 50 new HIV cases per 100,000, this rate driven primarily by injection drug use. As such, the authors argue that Estonia's SEP network does not have the capacity to serve a growing IDU population at risk of transmitting HIV and pharmacy dispensation of clean syringes may be one potential approach to decreasing syringe sharing among high-risk injectors. It may be overly optimistic to consider the impact of higher threshold interventions such as pharmacy-based SEPs, given that IDU populations that engage in HIV risk behaviours such as syringe sharing are often hidden or hard to reach. Despite the need for a cautious approach, however, the findings presented by Vorobjov et al. may chart one potential course towards a more comprehensive societal response to reducing the health harms associated with injection drug use.
Modulators of proprotein convertase, Subtilisin Kexin Isozyme-1 (SKI-1) Site 1 Protease (SIP): Design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation

description: Subtilisin Kexin Isozyme-1 (SKI-I) also called Site1 Protease (S1P) is a member of mammalian subtilisin family that is involved in cholesterol metabolism, lipid synthesis and viral infections. It is considered as a target for intervention of these diseases or disorders. Herein, vaccinia virus transfected HEK 293 expression system was used in the production of ∼98 kDa C-terminally truncated soluble human hSKI-1 enzyme in enzymatically active form. Partial purification of recombinant (rec) hSKI-1 enzyme was achieved by using modified cell culture condition and affinity column chromatography. In addition, gel filtration size exclusion chromatography was also attempted as an alternative to column chromatography method to purify the enzyme. Purification ofrec-hSKI-1 led to significant dimerization of the enzyme which results the partial loss of protease activity. Nonetheless, it was used to design novel SKI-I inhibitors for biochemical and therapeutic applications. Oxymethylene (-OCH2-) based pseudo and multibranch peptide strategies were used for the design of new hSKI-1 inhibitors. The peptide sequences used in these approaches were obtained from SKI-I prodomain near its autocatalytic cleavage sites. Depending on the length of the peptide sequence, competitive and mixed type inhibition was observed for the Oxymethylene based pseudo peptide inhibitors. However, most of them showed competitive inhibition of hSKI-1 activity, suggesting their interactions with the catalytic domain of SKI-I enzyme. It also indicated that Oxymethylene function might be a good mimicry of peptidyl amide bond (-CONH-). In the pseudopeptide series, ∼5 fold more inhibition was observed for the P7- Tyr mutant peptide. This suggested the preference of aromatic residue at P7 position of the substrate is important for hSKI-1 enzyme recognition. In the multibranch peptide series, the 2- and 4- branch peptides displayed ∼8.6 and ∼13 fold increased inhibition of hSKI-1 enzyme respectively compared to the single branch linear peptide. This suggests that increasing the number of inhibitory peptide chain within a core molecule may be an interesting concept for the design of enzyme inhibitors and should be explored not only for convertase but also for other protease inhibition as well.

description: The accurate prediction of splice sites and exon boundaries in genomic sequences is critical for understanding gene structure and function, with implications for various biological research and clinical applications. This project presents the development and validation of computational models, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs), aimed at enhancing the prediction accuracy of splice sites and consequently, exon sequences. The primary focus was on two models: SpliceSiteCNNs and ExonCNN.The SpliceSiteCNNs were developed to predict splice donor and acceptor sites using the human genome for the creation of the training set, with the hope that this could then be applied to other species. Despite achieving high true positive rates, the model returned a considerable number of false positives, highlighting the need for further refinement. To address this, ExonCNN was introduced to specifically target the reduction of false positive exon predictions generated by SpliceSiteCNNs. The training data for ExonCNN comprised true exon sequences and their 'DiShuffled' counterparts, aiming to preserve dinucleotide composition without retaining actual exon functionality.The effectiveness of ExonCNN was tested in two phases. Initially, the model showed a modest reduction in false positives, indicating room for improvement. Subsequent retraining with an expanded dataset led to a significant reduction in false positives.Future work outlined in this thesis includes testing the combined model on other species, exploring alternative machine learning strategies such as support vector machines for exon prediction, developing models for untranslated region (UTR) prediction, and retraining on larger, more diverse datasets. These steps are crucial for moving towards more reliable and comprehensive gene annotation tools, ultimately contributing to better genomic insights and applications in personalised medicine.

description: Spatial navigation is a common yet very important activity in everyday life. Errors in navigation, which usually involve miscalculations of distance and direction, derive from a variety of deficits, including neurological diseases, injuries, as well as aging. In a navigation task designed to assess the ability to reach a target location without vision, young and older adults showed statistically significant age differences in dual-task costs. It was also shown that dual-task costs vary as a function of task condition. Specifically, the navigation measures (traveled distance, angular deviation and body rotation) were significantly larger in older than young adults. There was no significant effect of task on those measures, with the exception of traveled distance. Conversely, the effect of age on reaction times was non-significant, but there was a main effect of condition on reaction time, with reaction times being significantly longer during the dual-task condition than during the sitting condition.

description: The literature shows that research into the aesthetic aspects of prostheses is limited. Although there are suggestions that prostheses with high levels of emotionally-driven design may improve users’ well-being, they are based only on theoretical findings. Therefore, in this thesis the effects of emotionally-driven prostheses on users’ lives and society’s attitudes were explored, with respect to culture and more specifically, the theories of individualism/ collectivism. In order to investigate the effects of culture, the research was conducted in two countries with different cultures; the UK (individualistic) and Greece (collectivistic). The thesis began with a literature review across three core areas: user, product and environment, and revealed the importance of investigating an additional area; that of prosthetists. The research employed a qualitative approach and consisted of four studies. Study I was an online questionnaire to explore users’ preferences towards prostheses, with respect to their culture. Study II consisted of semi-structured interviews and informational probes to comprehend the role of prostheses on users’ lives, with respect to prosthetic appearance. In Study III, the aim was to investigate prosthetists’ attitudes towards the needs of prosthetic users by conducting semi-structured interviews. Finally, Study IV was an online questionnaire to explore non-users’ attitudes towards the design of prostheses. The research showed that the use of prostheses for the completion of users’ body was not an adequate factor to improve their well-being, and a shift on users’ desires towards emotionally-driven prostheses has occurred. From the variables that were tested, sex, age, cause and area of limb-loss may affect people’s attitudes towards the design of prostheses. Furthermore, the results showed that prostheses with high emotionally-driven design evoked emotions, in both users and non-users, with higher levels of pleasantness and arousal than the emotions that were elicited by the prostheses of lower emotionally-driven designs and thus, they may trigger a greater behavioural reaction. This suggested that emotionally-driven prostheses may eliminate users’ stigmatisation by increasing their self-confidence and altering society’s attitudes. However, attention needs to be paid in collectivistic countries, as emotionally-driven prostheses may enhance users’ stigmatisation.
Prediction of time lag in vacuum tubes and its implications for characterization of membranes in constant volume systems: Effect of resistance-free accumulation tank

description: In this project a "time limitation" of the previous analysis has been overcome by allowing the diffusion coefficient downstream from the tested medium to vary with pressure, describing this relationship using the empirical model of Knudsen. This required a numerical solution of the governing partial differential equation, which has been done by applying a finite difference scheme. The theoretically obtained pressure responses have been compared with the experimental pressure responses in two different flow cases, a constant flow and a time-dependent flow at a tube entrance. The former case was realized by using a low-flow mass flow controller as a flow source. The latter case was realized by using a homogeneous polymeric film, whose one side was instantaneously pressurized in a step-wise manner (time lag technique). The theoretical model slightly underestimates the resistance effects. This has been attributed to an unavoidable presence of a dead volume in the experimental system, i.e. the volume associated with valves, pressure sensors, bypass tubes, etc. A procedure for correcting the experimentally determined transport coefficients of gas in a membrane for the resistance effects has been developed and demonstrated.

 Microeca fascinans victoriae Mathews, 1912a: 302 (Victoria).
 Now Microeca fascinans fascinans (Latham, 1801). See Mayr, 1986d: 558, Schodde, 1992, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 378–379.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 604405, adult male, collected at Parwan, ca. 2 mi east of Bacchus Marsh, 38.45S, 144.30E (Times Atlas), Victoria, Australia, on 25 May 1909, by F.E. Howe. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, giving the type locality as ‘‘Victoria’’ and including South Australia in the range. Later, Mathews (1913a: 166) listed victoriae as a synonym of M. f. fascinans and there specified the type locality as Parwan, the collecting locality of the holotype. In addition to the Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the holotype bears Howe’s original field label; the number ‘‘433’’ appearing there refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908a).
 The following specimens from Victoria are paratypes: AMNH 604394 (Mathews no. 6250), male, Ringwood, 30 July 1910, by Howe; AMNH 604396 (8549), female, Olinda, 11 February 1911, by T.H. Tregellas; and AMNH 604399 (8658), female, Ringwood, 18 March 1911, by Tregellas. Four additional specimens collected by Tregellas in 1911 and cataloged on 5 January 1912 are probable paratypes: AMNH 604395 (10085), male, Olinda, 15 April 1911; AMNH 604396 (10086), male, Selby, 30 July 1911; AMNH 604397 (10087), female, Selby, 30 July 1911; and AMNH 604534 (10084), female, Ouyen, 28 August 1911. This last specimen is also a paratype of M. f. howei (see below) and is identifiable with M. f. assimilis Gould. The following are possible paratypes of victoriae, although I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog: AMNH 604400, female, Ringwood, 19 September 1908, by L.G. Chandler; AMNH 604401, female, Frankston, April 1908, by Chandler; and AMNH 604402, unsexed, Frankston, 12 March 1909, by Tregellas. I did not find any South Australian specimens from the Mathews Collection taken early enough to be included in the type series.
 Schodde (1992) discussed Latham’s names Sylvia leucophaea and Loxia fascinans and the paintings on which they are based. As the original specimens are presumably no longer in existence, Schodde stabilized the nomenclature by designating the same specimen as the neotype of both names and followed Gould, as first reviser, in using fascinans as the applicable name.

description: To determine the safety, feasibility, and potential effect of an 18-week exercise intervention for adults with primary brain cancer. Eligible patients were 12-26-weeks post-radiotherapy for brain cancer. The individually-prescribed weekly exercise was ≥150-minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, including two resistance-training sessions. The intervention was deemed “safe” if exercise-related, serious adverse events (SAE) were experienced by <10% of participants, and feasible if recruitment, retention, and adherence rates were ≥75%, and ≥75% compliance rates were achieved in ≥75% of weeks. Patient-reported and objectively-measured outcomes were assessed at baseline, mid-intervention, end-intervention, and 6-month follow-up, using generalized estimating equations. Twelve participants enrolled (51 ± 19.5 years, 5 females). There were no exercise-related SAEs. The intervention was feasible (recruitment:80%, retention:92%, adherence:83%). Participants completed a median of 172.8 (min:77.5, max:560.8) minutes of physical activity per week. 17% met the compliance outcome threshold for ≥75% of the intervention. Improvements in quality of life (mean change (95% CI): 7.9 units (1.9, 13.8)), functional well-being (4.3 units (1.4, 7.2)), depression (−2.0 units (−3.8, −0.2)), activity (112.8 min (42.1, 183.4)), fitness (56.4 meters (20.4, 92.5)), balance (4.9 s (0.9, 9.0)), and lower-body strength (15.2 kg (9.3, 21.1)) were observed end-intervention. Preliminary evidence support that exercise is safe and beneficial to the quality of life and functional outcomes for people with brain cancer.Registration: ACTRN12617001577303 The BRAin Cancer and Exercise (BRACE) study highlights the need for regular monitoring of disease- and treatment-related side effects which may present as barriers to exercise. Exercise prescription should be modified according to the presence and severity of disease- and treatment-related barriers. Adverse events observed, such as dizziness, highlight the importance of supervised exercise for people with brain cancer. If supervision is not possible, then exercise modes with low risk of harm from falls are recommended (e.g., walking, machine-based resistance training).

 Microeca fascinans howei Mathews, 1913c: 8 (Kow Plains, Victoria).
 Now Microeca fascinans assimilis Gould, 1841. See Mayr, 1986d: 558, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 378–379.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 604438, adult female, collected at Sunset, Kow Plains, northwestern Victoria, Australia, on 6 September 1911, by F.E. Howe. From the Mathews Collection (no. 12670) via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Mathews received the single specimen from Howe, cataloged as number 12670, although Mathews did not give his catalog number in the original description. It bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and Howe’s field label. Paratypes from the Victorian Mallee area are: AMNH 604532 and 604533 (Mathews nos. 15290 and 15291), males, Gerhamin (12 mi northwest of Sea Lake, 5 Nyarrin on modern maps), 15 September 1912, and AMNH 604534 (10084), female, Ouyen, 28 August 1911 (also a paratype of M. f. victoriae, see above), all collected by Tregellas. AMNH 604535, female, Underbool, 13 September 1910, by C.F. Cole, was collected early enough, but I did not find it in Mathews’ catalog. Whittell (1954: 158) noted that Cole sent ‘‘a large collection of bird-skins’’ to Mathews in 1914, so possibly Mathews had already published this name before he received Cole’s specimen.
 Schodde and Mason (1999: 378–379) discussed the zone of intergradation between M. f. fascinans and M. f. assimilis in the Victorian Mallee. Most of these specimens, including the holotype, have the reduced white in the tail of assimilis, but AMNH 604532 has the white more extensive.
Kow Plains in western Victoria is 35 mi east of Pinnaroo, 35.18S, 140.54E (Times Atlas), South Australia.

Platform, position, and purpose: Analyzing the studio recordings and live performances of U2
Creators: name: Smith, Matthew
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Music.

description: This thesis explores the music of rock band U2, utilizing two perspectives: current research in popular musicology, specifically the work of Albin Zak, Allan Moore, and Lori Burns, and the thoughts of the band members of U2. These two perspectives provide the framework for the discussion that covers several examples from across the bands discography (1980-2000). The role of music in communicating with the listener is discussed from the perspective of the band members of U2. This discussion highlights the desire of the band members to actively participate in the songs' meaning by shaping the musical performance to the themes and ideas discussed within the text. The way that the text shapes the understanding is examined through a discussion of the songs "All Along the Watchtower," and "Playboy Mansion." The bands live performances are also considered, through a discussion of the Elevation Tour. The songs "Sunday Bloody Sunday," and "Bullet the Blue Sky" are discussed in-depth, taking into account the music, text, and performance from their initial studio recordings in the 1980s, to the recent performances in the Elevation Tour. The focus centers on the messages communicated through the bands music, the choices made in shaping their sound, and the importance of the details in fully understanding each performance.
The philosopher's happiness in Plato's "Republic"
Creators: name: Emond, Ben

Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: In this thesis, I argue for the position that happiness is a communal concept in Plato's Republic. By a communal concept, I mean that one must act for the sake of one's community in order to be happy. I make this argument by contending that justice, a notion which involves the consideration of others, is the key to making an individual happy. I argue that Plato has both an altruistic and egoistic concept of justice, and that the interplay between these two concepts of justice constitutes Plato's concept of happiness in the Republic. What results is a kind of happiness which is associated with internal goods, such as having a well-balanced soul, as opposed to the idea of happiness being related to the acquisition of external goods like wealth.

 Microeca fascinans subpallida Mathews, 1912a: 302 (North-West Australia (Napier Broome Bay)).
 Now Microeca fascinans pallida De Vis, 1884. See Mayr, 1986d: 558, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 378–379.
 HOLOTYPE: AMNH 604490, adult male, collected at Pago Mission (5 Mission Station, on label), 14.10S, 126.42E (Times Atlas), Napier Broome Bay, Western Australia, Australia, on 19 March 1910, by G.F. Hill (no. 372). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5747) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ North-West Australia’ ’. Paratypes from Parrys Creek, collected by J.P. Rogers, are AMNH 604446–604463 (Mathews catalog numbers 1569–1587, except for number 1575, male, collected 26 January 1909, and number 1580, female, collected 17 December 1908, which did not come to AMNH). Paratypes from the King Sound area, collected by Rogers, are AMNH 604464 (Mathews no. 9188), 604465 (9135), 604466 and 604467 (9186 and 9187), 604468 (8156), 604469, 604470 (8881), 604472 (8446), 604473 (8447), and 604475–604479 (6372–6376); Mathews number 9189, male, 17 June 1911, did not come to AMNH. A paratype from Napier Broome Bay, collected by Hill, is AMNH 604491 (5748); two additional specimens from Napier Broome Bay collected by Hill, Mathews numbers 5749 (female, 24 February 1910) and 5750 (male, 19 January 1910), did not come to AMNH. Specimens collected on the Forrest River by Conigrave in August and September 1911 but not cataloged by Mathews until 24 February 1912 and a specimen collected at Derby by Bowyer Bower in 1886 but not cataloged by Mathews until 1913 are not considered paratypes.

Brachydactyly type A1 (BDA1): Identification and characterization of the genes involved
Creators: name: Grimsey, Allison
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Biology, Genetics.

description: Brachydactyly type A1 (BDA1) belongs to a group of rare, congenital disorders whereby normal bone development and patterning is adversely affected, leading to shortened and malformed digits. BDA1 has the unique feature of being the first human trait described in terms of autosomal dominant Mendelian inheritance. In 2001, missense mutations within the Indian Hedgehog (IHH) gene, specifically codons 95, 100 and 131, were identified in three unrelated families affected with BDA1. Our laboratory recently identified linkage of BDA1 to a second locus on chromosome 5p13.3 in a large Canadian kindred. The critical region on chromosome 5p has been refined to 7 cM by genotype and haplotype analysis of family members. One goal of this thesis was to further reduce the 7 cM critical region, which was successful, given that a 40 kb region was eliminated. Throughout the early 1900s, William Farabee and Harry Drinkwater identified, and subsequently detailed, several families affected with BDA1 (Farabee, 1903 and Drinkwater, 1907/8, 1912, 1915). At the time of his reports, Drinkwater proposed that the Pennsylvania family, identified by Farabee, may be related to his kindreds. For years the question of whether the two Drinkwater families and the Farabee family were related through a common founder remained a mystery. This thesis provides evidence and support for a common ancestry between Drinkwater's two BDA1 families and the BDA1 family of Farabee's. In addition, this thesis also investigates IHH's role in BDA1 as numerous BDA1 families underwent IHH mutational analysis in the search for novel IHH mutations leading to BDA1.

description: A 147cm sediment core from Lake DV09, northern Devon Island, Nunavut, Canada (75° 34'34"N, 89° 18'55"W) contains annually-laminated (varved) sediments, providing a 1600-year record of climate variability. A minerogenic lamina deposited during the annual thaw period and a thin deposit of organic matter deposited during the summer and through the winter, together form a clastic-organic couplet each year. The thinnest varves occur from AD800-1050, and the thickest from AD1100-1300, during the Medieval Warm Period. The relative sediment density is also highest during this period suggesting increased sediment transport energy. The coldest period of the Little Ice Age appears to be during the AD 1600s. Varve widths over the past century indicate climate warming in the region.
