description: The objective of this study was to identify the necessary features of pulmonary telerehabilitation (P-TR) from the perspectives of individuals living with chronic lung disease and health care professionals (HCPs) who deliver pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Focus groups were carried out with patients (n ¼ 26) and HCPs (n ¼ 26) to elicit and explore their opinions about the critical elements of in-person PR and ideas for how these elements could be supported using technology. A questionnaire was used to assess technology use, PR experience, and general health status. Four key elements of PR were identified as critical to P-TR: the social aspect of PR; communicating with HCPs for education and support; using biosensors for monitoring and promoting self-knowledge; and the evolution of support with progress over time. A range of technology-enabled devices and programs were suggested as means to recreate aspects of these integral elements. Consultations with patients and HCPs suggest that users are interested in technology and want to ensure it recreates the important aspects of PR. Patients and HCPs identified similar key elements for P-TR. The opinions and suggestions of patients and HCPs should be the driving force of innovation if P-TR is to succeed in improving health outcomes.

description: Retinal detachments cause photoreceptor apoptosis. XIAP (X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis) inhibits caspases-3, -7, and -9, which prevents the apoptotic cascade. This study evaluates XIAP gene therapy as a means to provide photoreceptor neuroprotection following retinal detachment. Subretinal injections of virally-delivered XIAP or green fluorescent protein (GFP; injection control) were performed in rats. Two weeks later, retinal detachments were created at the viral injection site. Eyes were harvested 24 hours post-detachment to analyze caspase activity and at 3 days and 2 months for histological analysis. Caspase assays indicated rises in caspase-3 and -9 activities in detached GFP-treated retinas, whereas XIAP-treated retinas behaved comparably to attached controls. Three day TUNEL analysis showed less apoptosis in XIAP-treated detachments. Two month histology confirmed preservation of photoreceptors in XIAP-treated detachments, whereas GFP-treated detached retinas had deteriorated significantly. The results suggest that XIAP confers structural photoreceptor neuroprotection for at least two months following retinal detachment.

description: Four natives Canadian recretohalophytic species: Atriplex canescens, Armeria maritima, Spartina pectinata, and Distichlis spicata were examined to determine their relative uptake and excretion of chloride in the context of phytoremediation. Adult plants were grown in soils contaminated with either sodium chloride or potassium chloride at various concentrations, then manually washed to collect the excreted salts. Atriplex canescens which has salt bladders, was found to have negligible excretions, suggesting that these structures release minimal amounts of salt onto the leaf’s surface. Chloride excretions of S. pectinata and D. spicata increased with higher soil chloride concentrations. A. maritima showed minimal excretion until a threshold soil salinity was reached. This species shifted from a reliance on internal sequestration to secretion at higher soil salinity. The salt used in the media did not impact these trends, but D. spicata excreted significantly more chloride under sodium chloride conditions. While all four species studied were able to translocate significant amount of salt to their shoots, only S. pectinata, D. spicata, and A. maritima are suitable candidates for remediation by haloconduction. Among these, A. maritima showed the greatest potential and significantly reduced the soil chloride concentration by up to 60% in the highest concentration treatment (4 mg/g).HIGHLIGHTSArmeria maritima, Spartina pectinata, and Distichlis spicata are suitable species for remediation via haloconduction.Armeria maritima had the highest total extraction capacity at high soil chloride.Spartina pectinata had the most consistent excretion capacity and is the most suitable for remediation of soils with lower soil chloride. Armeria maritima, Spartina pectinata, and Distichlis spicata are suitable species for remediation via haloconduction. Armeria maritima had the highest total extraction capacity at high soil chloride. Spartina pectinata had the most consistent excretion capacity and is the most suitable for remediation of soils with lower soil chloride.

description: This paper provides a concept for the design of the Aviation Carbon Offset Scheme (ACOS) and aims at overcoming the deadlock that has continued for many years between developed and developing countries, hindering an agreement on instruments addressing greenhouse gas emission of the aviation sectors. We discuss key design options of such a scheme, including which entity should be responsible for purchasing offsets, how requirements for purchasing offsets can be divided between the covered entities, how the diverging situations of countries can be taken into account without providing incentives to evade the scheme and what needs to be considered to ensure environmental integrity. As a result we sketch out a scheme covering all countries, which takes into account differences them by means of a route-based differentiation of requirements, which does not generate any revenues and which would enable the aviation sector to contribute appropriately to the global challenge of addressing climate change.

The hybrid
Creators: name: Hecq, Dominique
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The hybrid is an integral element of stories-within-a-story comprising a creative artefact for a PhD in writing by artefact and exegesis through practice-led research. This story partially explores queer theory. Dominant themes are the challenges and possibilities of being different, a breed of 'others': The hybrid explores dichotomy; it is about crossing thresholds. Additionally, the narrative takes on 'cross-genre': it is a short story that crosses borders of genre fiction in order that a reader may approach the work with fewer preconceptions. Having preconceptions leads to breaches in the implicit agreement between writer and reader, where the writer 'clothes' a work by genre (e.g. science fiction or fantasy) and the reader enters the reading seeking elements of that 'promised' genre. As one story-within-stories, The hybrid is attentive to Deleuze and Guattari's (1987) resonating principles of the rhizome: connection, heterogeneity and interconnections.

Central extensions of graded Lie algebras
Creators: name: Welte, Angelika
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: In this thesis we describe the universal central extension of two important classes of so-called root-graded Lie algebras defined over a commutative associative unital ring k. Root-graded Lie algebras are Lie algebras which are graded by the root lattice of a locally finite root system and contain enough sl2 -triples to separate the homogeneous spaces of the grading. Examples include the infinite rank analogs of the simple finite-dimensional complex Lie algebras. In the thesis we show that in general the universal central extension of a root-graded Lie algebra L is not root-graded anymore, but that we can measure quite easily how far it is away from being so, using the notion of degenerate sums, introduced by van der Kallen. We then concentrate on root-graded Lie algebras which are graded by the root systems of type A with rank at least 2 and of type C. For them one can use the theory of Jordan algebras. Given a Jordan algebra J, we establish a functorial construction which produces a Lie algebra from J, called the universal Tits-Kantor-Koecher algebra of J. We are led to study the derivation algebras of Jordan algebras and alternative algebras. Under mild assumptions on the base ring k, it is proven that the Albert algebra (a Jordan algebra) and the octonion algebra (an alternative algebra) have derivation algebras which are isomorphic to exceptional Lie algebras of type F4 and G 2 respectively. We also show that certain root-graded Lie algebras which are defined by the Albert algebra resp. the octonion algebra are simply connected, i.e., coincide with their central extensions.

description: Endogenous neural stem/progenitor cells therapy is one of the most advanced clinical trial worldwide. Generally, drug is given to the targeted area through the traditional strategies such as intraventricular or intravenous delivery method. However, those methods always come with undesired side-effects such as over-dose of drug and offensive injection are not applicable to the large-scale clinical application. In this study, the clinical feasibility of blended biosynthesized cellulose duraplasty was studied. Our results showed that physical properties of BBC can be controlled through the optimized fabrication process. In addition, the time length of Middle cerebral artery occlusion rat model was tested through the 60 vs 90 mins occlusion time behavioral assessments of rat and the data indicated that 60 mins length can induce significant motor functional impairment. Finally, the EGF & EPO-loaded BBC duraplasty was implanted over the removed area and the ELISA test revealed that BBC duraplasty can release and delivery the growth factors to the targeted area (subvertical zone) at least 3 days after implantation. In summary, our BBC duraplasty is showing the potential prospection to be a clinical-applicable duraplasty to replace the traditional commercial duraplasty in the future stroke recovery therapy.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent form of dementia, affects globally more than 30 million people suffering from cognitive deficits and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Substantial evidence for the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in the development and/or progression of AD has been shown in addition to the pathological hallmarks amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau. Still, the selective vulnerability and associated selective mitochondrial dysfunction cannot even be resolved to date. We aimed at optically quantifying mitochondrial function on a single-cell level in primary hippocampal neuron models of AD, unraveling differential involvement of cell and mitochondrial populations in amyloid precursor protein (APP)-associated mitochondrial dysfunction. NADH lifetime imaging is a highly sensitive marker-free method with high spatial resolution. However, deciphering cellular bioenergetics of complex cells like primary neurons has still not succeeded yet. To achieve this, we combined highly sensitive NADH lifetime imaging with respiratory inhibitor treatment, allowing characterization of mitochondrial function down to even the subcellular level in primary neurons. Measuring NADH lifetime of the same neuron before and after respiratory treatment reveals the metabolic delta, which can be taken as a surrogate for cellular redox capacity. Correlating NADH lifetime delta with overexpression strength of Aβ-related proteins on the single-cell level, we could verify the important role of intracellular Aβ-mediated mitochondrial toxicity. Subcellularly, we could demonstrate a higher respiration in neuronal somata in general than dendrites, but a similar impairment of somatic and dendritic mitochondria in our AD models. This illustrates the power of NADH lifetime imaging in revealing mitochondrial function on a single and even subcellular level and its potential to shed light into bioenergetic alterations in neuropsychiatric diseases and beyond.
English legal culture and the languages of the law: Rethinking the Statute of Pleading (1362)

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: History, European.

subject: History, Medieval.

description: This thesis re-evaluates the impact of the Statute of Pleading and its legislation of the languages of the law on the legal actors who worked in England's royal courts in the fourteenth century. In order to broaden the scope of existing research on the subject, this project puts forth a new interpretation of the Statute by proposing a different hypothesis for why the law exists in two linguistically variable forms on the records of the Parliament and statute rolls. By studying the legal professionals who worked in England's legal realm and their use of languages, this thesis argues that the Statute of Pleading---in each of its versions---is indicative of the legal training and education received by these individuals in the later medieval period, and also as an expression of their resistance to changing the written languages of the law.

Muriel Spark's comic manifesto: Wit as weapon, tool, and cure

description: Muriel Spark's detached, and often dark, sense of humour has brought her prolific body of work both popular and critical acclaim. However, some critics lament that she treats the events and characters of her novels too lightly; that her deliberately cultivated sense of distance prevents her works from dealing with truly important issues. This thesis argues that Spark's sense of purpose lies within her comic and satirical tone, as opposed to existing in spite of it. In her interviews and speeches, Spark reveals a preoccupation with the idea of ridicule as a method of confronting evil. Her 1971 speech, "The Desegregation of Art," states that "Ridicule is the only honourable weapon we have left" (35), and urges her audience to abandon more sentimental styles of art in favour of satire. To Spark, self-knowledge is tied to a sense of the absurd, and it is the writer who must both recognize the ridiculous and share that recognition with her audience, all the while delivering pleasure and entertainment. Spark's detached writing style provides a necessary distance for seeing absurdity and avoiding sentimentality. Spark's attitude of detached ridicule mirrors Henri Bergson's social theory, where ridicule is seen as a disciplinary element and becomes a crucial tool for social control. She employs ridicule on two separate and distinct levels: an authorial level, in which she chooses the content she will expose to mockery, and a level within the narrative, where characters use ridicule and laughter to influence events. In The Ballad of Peckham Rye [1960], The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie [1960] and The Abbess of Crewe [1974], Spark's powerful characters are those who wield and control satirical insight, an insight which usually accompanies the role of "writer," as they act against oppressive, and often fascist, authority.

Traffic modelling and performance of layered cellular networks with overflow
Creators: name: Fitzpatrick, Paul G.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis reports on an investigation into the teletraffic modelling and performance of layered cellular networks that use overflow for new call and handover attempts in order to improve system performance It addresses the important problems how to model and analyse overflow in large cellular networks so that the overall impact across the network can be evaluated, the overflow policies that can be used with new calls and handovers to improve network performance and how these policies perform under a range of conditions. The general problem of modelling overflow in cellular networks is considered at length and from this it is concluded that the use of overflow in existing schemes such as directed retry, reuse partitioning and overlaid cells can also be described by the simple concepts of intra and inter layer overflow Using these concepts the author formulates the problem of overflow in layered networks as a subset of the general problem of overflow with multiple overflow routes and restricted overflow. This leads to the derivation of the mean and variance of the overflow traffic from a cell with multiple handover routes and restricted handover from the two-dimensional birth death model of the system. These expressions for the mean and variance are used in conjunction with the Equivalent Random Theory and splitting formulae in the development of the Splitting Formula Method or SF Method. The accuracy of three splitting formulae and a simple Poisson approximation are investigated and compared with simulation. From this we conclude that the splitting formulae of Akimaru and Takahashi and Wallstrom provide the best overall result. This method is used to solve the general problem of multiple user classes for an example two layer network. This leads to conclusions on the complex relationship between cell capacity, the proportion of uses that can access the microcells and the proportion of users that can overflow from the microcell to the macrocell. The Modified Splitting Formula Method is an extension of the SF Method that includes handovers and overflow for handovers. A user perceived measure of the effect of new call and handover blocking described by the probability of call failure augments the Modified SF method. This is then used to analyse five new call overflow policies for a three layer network under conditions of extended handover, restrictions on handover for calls in cells at the edge of layers and spatial offset between the peak of the traffic demand and the cell layout. The results give new and valuable insight into the behaviour of layered cellular networks with overflow and the trade-offs in performance that exist when designing and operating these networks.

description: Efficient on-chip molecule and bio-agent detection can be achieved by accessing strong molecular absorption lines in the mid-infrared, but it requires high output power broadband mid-IR sources. Here, we report supercontinuum generation in an air-clad Si0.6Ge0.4∕Si waveguide that emits a broad spectrum spanning from 3.0 μm to 8.5 μm. These waveguides have anomalous dispersion and low propagation loss (<0.4  dB/cm<0.4  dB/cm) in the mid-IR, which leads to a supercontinuum output with a high average power of more than 10 mW on-chip. The realization of broadband mid-IR sources with high spectral brightness makes the SiGe-on-Si platform promising for a wide range of applications.

description: The formation of Mn/Fe containing precipitates during a high temperature treatment known as homogenization is important for the downstream performance of 6XXX aluminum extrusion alloys. In this work, the complex interaction between Mn and Fe during precipitation has been studied using a combination of experiments and a model that includes long range diffusion of Fe and Mn and a short range precipitation model. The results reveal the unusual phenomenon where Fe first diffuses from the constituent particles to the dispersoids, thereby increasing their volume fraction, and then at longer times reverses direction to diffuse back to the constituent particles.

description: Since the 1980s, Ramularia leaf spot (RLS) is an emerging barley disease worldwide. The control of RLS is increasingly aggravated by a recent decline in fungicide efficacy and a lack of RLS-resistant cultivars. Furthermore, climate change increases drought periods in Europe, enhances variable weather conditions, and thus will have an impact on severity of plant diseases. Hence, identification of RLS-resistant cultivars and understanding of disease progression under abiotic stress are important aims in integrated disease management under climate change. In the present study, we evaluated quantitative RLS resistance of 15 spring barley genotypes under drought, controlled irrigation and field conditions between 2016 and 2019 and monitored microclimatic conditions within the canopy. We identified genotypes that show robust quantitative resistance to RLS in different field environments. Our findings suggest that long-lasting drought periods create unfavourable conditions for the disease and supports that the extent and duration of leaf wetness is a key factor for RLS epidemics. © The Author(s) 2021

description: Refined grounded cognition accounts propose that abstract concepts might be grounded in brain circuits involved in mentalizing. In the present event-related potential (ERP) study, we compared the time course of neural processing in response to semantically predefined abstract mental states and verbal association concepts during a lexical decision task. In addition to scalp ERPs, source estimates of underlying volume brain activity were determined to reveal spatio-temporal clusters of greater electrical brain activity to abstract mental state vs. verbal association concepts, and vice versa. Source estimates suggested early (onset 194 ms), but short-lived enhanced activity (offset 210 ms) to verbal association concepts in left occipital regions. Increased occipital activity might reflect retrieval of visual word form or access to visual conceptual features of associated words. Increased estimated source activity to mental state concepts was obtained in visuo-motor (superior parietal, pre- and postcentral areas) and mentalizing networks (lateral and medial prefrontal areas, insula, precuneus, temporo-parietal junction) with an onset of 212 ms, which extended to later time windows. The time course data indicated two processing phases: An initial conceptual access phase, in which linguistic and modal brain circuits rapidly process features depending on their relevance, and a later conceptual elaboration phase, in which elaborative processing within feature-specific networks further refines the concept. This study confirms the proposal that abstract concepts are based on representations in distinct neural circuits depending on their semantic feature content. The present research also highlights the importance of investigating sets of abstract concepts with a defined semantic content.

description: A temperature-dependant rabbit model of Haemophilus ducreyi infection was used as a quantitative virulence assay to evaluate the effect of host factors upon ulcerative cutaneous disease production. New Zealand White rabbits underwent inoculation with H. ducreyi strain #35000 either after iron loading, dexamethasone immunosuppression, prior infection or immunization. Chancroid-like disease was scored for severity, time, culture of lesions, and serologic response. In primary infections, culture-positive ulcerative lesions were consistently produced at and above 105 colony forming units inocula. Iron and dexamethasone treatment increased lesion severity and duration of culture positivity. Infection of previously infected animals produced sterile lesions of greater size and higher cumulative disease score at 105 colony forming units inocula. Infection of immunized animals produced sterile lesions of lesser severity at 105 colony forming units, with protection from ulcer formation. Efficacy of ceftriaxone treatment was tested in naive control and iron loaded rabbits. Antibiotic was injected as a single intramuscular dose of 0.1 mg/Kg and 5 mg/Kg, four days following inoculation with Haemophilus ducreyi #35000. In naive control rabbits, antibiotic treatment at each dose sterilized the lesions within 24 hours with attenuation of disease effect. In naive iron loaded rabbits lesions were sterilized later on day 10 with 0.1 mg/Kg ceftriaxone and on day 5 with 5 mg/Kg ceftriaxone. Virulence scores corroborated the lessened microbiologic efficacy of antibiotic treatment. We conclude that quantitative assay of infection and disease in iron loaded animals, with relative prolongation of disease effect and culture positivity of lesions may be a sensitive model in which to comparatively measure virulence related to bacterial factors. As well, limitations of efficacy or synergy of antibiotic treatments may be evaluated. We conclude that prior antigenic exposure and immune response through infection or immunization attenuates subsequent homologous infection. Disease produced in re-infection is amplified, while disease produced in inoculation after immunization is attenuated at lower inocula. This suggests that while there is inducible immunity to H. ducreyi infection and disease, the disease effect may be in part related to host inflammatory response to bacterial antigen or effect of bacterial toxin. This system of measurement of virulence may be useful towards understanding pathogenesis, and identifying strategy for vaccine development in chancroid.
Commented translation of excerpts from the novel "Cher Hugo, chère Catherine".

description: This thesis is divided into two parts, the first consisting of a French to English translation of excerpts from the novel Cher Hugo, chere Catherine. The second part comprises a commentary of the difficulties encountered in the translation. Although the novel is a record of correspondence between four characters over a 43-year period, this work deals only with the letters exchanged between father and daughter, Hugo and Catherine. Literary translation is often a very difficult endeavour and we discuss the challenging task of translating a rich literary text by studying the concrete textual features in which are rooted the themes of the source text. The textual features also contribute to the text's impact on the reader. The problems involved in rendering these textual features are in turn discussed. Throughout this work, the issue of acquiring additional information from the author of the novel is addressed in relation to its effect on the translation; in order to emphasize the need for a carefully balanced translation, this thesis closes by examining the repercussions of abusing this "privileged" information.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine whether the imipridone ONC201/TIC10 affects the metabolic and proliferative activity of medulloblastoma cells in vitro. Preclinical drug testing including extracellular flux analyses (agilent seahorse), MTT assays and Western blot analyses were performed in high and low c-myc-expressing medulloblastoma cells. Our data show that treatment with the imipridone ONC201/TIC10 leads to a significant inihibitory effect on the cellular viability of different medulloblastoma cells independent of c-myc expression. This effect is enhanced by glucose starvation. While ONC201/TIC10 decreases the oxidative consumption rates in D458 (c-myc high) and DAOY (c-myc low) cells extracellular acidification rates experienced an increase in D458 and a decrease in DAOY cells. Combined treatment with ONC201/TIC10 and the glycolysis inhibitor 2-Deoxyglucose led to a synergistic inhibitory effect on the cellular viability of medulloblastoma cells including spheroid models. In conclusion, our data suggest that ONC201/TIC10 has a profound anti-proliferative activity against medulloblastoma cells independent of c-myc expression. Metabolic targeting of medulloblastoma cells by ONC201/TIC10 can be significantly enhanced by an additional treatment with the glycolysis inhibitor 2-Deoxyglucose. Further investigations are warranted.

description: HIV infection is associated with characteristic quantitative changes in T-lymphocyte subsets: progressive depletion of the CD4$\sp{+}$ T-lymphocytes and an increased number of the CD8$\sp{+}$ T-lymphocyte. In this study, I report the results of a flow cytometric analysis of the expression of CD3, CD4, CD8, TCR$\alpha$/$\beta$, and TCR$\gamma$/$\delta$ antigens. I observed that CD8$\sp{+}$TCR$\alpha$/$\beta\sp{+}$ cells increased early in HIV disease (p 0.01) whereas the frequency of CD4$\sp{+}$TCR$\alpha$/$\beta\sp{+}$ cells was relatively unchanged. The frequency of TCR$\gamma$/$\delta\sp{+}$ cells remained unchanged. However, the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), reflecting surface antigenic density, varied and allowed a clear distinction among different stages of infection. The expression of three activation markers (HLA-DR, CD38, CD57) was clearly increased in HIV infected individuals. The TCR$\alpha$/$\beta$ subset showed more substantial variation for activation markers. In the TCR$\gamma$/$\delta$ subset, the CD57 antigen seemed to be the most affected by the state of the disease and showed the greatest increase (p 0.01). (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Menopause is associated with cognitive decline, and hormone therapies (HT) may improve cognition depending on type, and timing of HT. Previous parity may influence cognition in later life. We investigated how primiparity and long-term ovariectomy influence cognition, neurogenesis, hormones, cytokines, and neuronal activation in middle-aged rats in response to Premarin, an HT. Nulliparous and primiparous rats were sham-ovariectomized or ovariectomized, administered vehicle or Premarin six months later, and all rats were trained in the Morris water maze. Premarin improved spatial learning and memory in nulliparous rats, but impaired early learning in primiparous rats. With training, primiparity increased hippocampal neurogenesis, and Premarin decreased immature neurons, regardless of parity. Moreover, Premarin increased serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α and the CXC chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1) in nulliparous, but not primiparous, trained rats. However, Premarin decreased the expression of the immediate early gene zif268 in the dorsal CA3 region in primiparous rats after training. Thus, primiparity alters how Premarin affects spatial learning, neuronal activation, and serum cytokines. These findings have implications for the treatment of age-associated cognitive decline in women.

description: On paper, Canada's World War II censorship system was among the toughest of those imposed by any Allied countries. In reality, it was a very Canadian endeavor. The censorship system usually respected the liberty of the media. It was, however, inconsistent in the application of media control rules laid out in the Defence of Canada Regulations of the War Measures Act, which was the censorship system's enabling legislation. This was partly because of the vague regulations; partly, especially in the early years of the war, because of ineffective management and inconsistent decisions at the national and local level. It is difficult to know whether press censorship was an effective counter-intelligence apparatus, which was the main justification for the system, or whether censorship was an important tool for maintaining morale. In Quebec, it appears to have failed on both counts. Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King's government was reticent to further antagonize the nationalist press by stifling coverage of anti-participationist dissent and reporting of naval action in the St. Lawrence River. The value of censorship was, in fact, unclear to some of the managers of the system. The censors, however, did their work system with a surprising level of deference to the needs of the press. They also played an important role in information dissemination and even protected a Japanese-Canadian newspaper from suppression. In the end, the Canadian public was well-served by the very small group of former journalists who worked as press censors during the war.
