Nuclear entry of the parvovirus minute virus of mice
Creators: name: Cohen, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In order to promote infection, viruses must target their genomes to specific compartments within the host cell. I have used the parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM) as a model to study the trafficking of non-enveloped viruses. Parvoviruses are single-stranded DNA viruses which replicate in the nucleus of the cell. Most viruses that replicate in the nucleus transport their genomes through nuclear pore complexes, large protein assemblies that mediate nucleocytoplasmic transport. However, previous studies have shown that MVM can induce disruption of the nuclear membranes, called the nuclear envelope (NE). This led to the hypothesis that MVM enters the nucleus by an unusual mechanism: disruption of the NE and entry through the resulting breaks. The objectives of this thesis were to: (1) characterize the effect of MVM on the NE, (2) define the molecular mechanism used by MVM to induce NE disruption, (3) determine the role of NE disruption in the MVM replication cycle, and (4) identify host proteins involved in MVM infection. I found that MVM causes small, transient disruptions of the NE early during infection. I tested the hypothesis that viral enzymatic activity is necessary for MVM-induced NE disruption and found that this was not the case. Next I tested the hypothesis that MVM hijacks a cellular program for NE breakdown, and found that MVM utilizes apoptotic proteases called caspases to facilitate these disruptions. Caspase inhibition prevents NE disruption in MVM-infected cells, reduces viral gene expression, and prevents entry of MVM capsids into the nucleus. I propose that NE disruption involving caspases facilitates parvovirus genome delivery into the nucleus. NE disruption also alters the compartmentalization of host proteins, which may be favorable for the virus. I have shown that MVM uses a novel nuclear entry strategy, unlike those previously described for any virus or cellular protein. It will be of great interest to determine whether this strategy is shared by other viruses. Parvoviruses are not considered a serious threat as human pathogens. However, they may prove useful as vectors for gene therapy. An understanding of the basic biology of parvoviruses could help in the development of parvovirus-based therapeutics.

description: Nonequilibrium behavior and dynamic phase transition properties of a kinetic Ising model under the influence of periodically oscillating random-fields have been analyzed within the framework of effective field theory (EFT) based on a decoupling approximation (DA). Dynamic equation of motion has been solved for a simple cubic lattice ($q=6$) by utilizing a Glauber type stochastic process. Amplitude of the sinusoidally oscillating magnetic field is randomly distributed on the lattice sites according to bimodal and trimodal distribution functions. For a bimodal type of amplitude distribution, it is found in the high frequency regime that the dynamic phase diagrams of the system in temperature versus field amplitude plane resemble the corresponding phase diagrams of pure kinetic Ising model. Our numerical results indicate that for a bimodal distribution, both in the low and high frequency regimes, the dynamic phase diagrams always exhibit a coexistence region in which the stationary state (ferro or para) of the system is completely dependent on the initial conditions whereas for a trimodal distribution, coexistence region disappears depending on the values of system parameters.

description: IntroductionIntegrated care pathways (ICPs) are a pre-defined framework of evidence based, multidisciplinary practice for specific patients. They have the potential to enhance continuity of care, patient safety, patient satisfaction, efficiency gains, teamwork and staff education. In order to inform the development of neurosurgical ICPs in the future, we performed a systematic review to aggregate examples of neurosurgical ICP, to consider their impact and design features that may be associated with their success.MethodsElectronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were searched for relevant literature published from date of inception to July 2020. Primary studies reporting details of neurosurgical ICPs, across all pathologies and age groups were eligible for inclusion. Patient outcomes in each case were also recorded.ResultsTwenty-four studies were included in our final dataset, from the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, China, Korea, France, Netherlands and Switzerland, and a number of sub-specialties. 3 for cerebrospinal fluid diversion, 1 functional, 2 neurovascular, 1 neuro-oncology, 2 paediatric, 2 skull base, 10 spine, 1 for trauma, 2 miscellaneous (other craniotomies). All were single centre studies with no regional or national examples. Thirteen were cohort studies while 11 were case series which lacked a control group. Effectiveness was typically evaluated using hospital or professional performance metrics, such as length of stay (n = 11, 45.8%) or adverse events (n = 17, 70.8%) including readmission, surgical complications and mortality. Patient reported outcomes, including satisfaction, were evaluated infrequently (n = 3, 12.5%). All studies reported a positive impact. No study reported how the design of the ICP was informed by published literature or other methods.ConclusionsICPs have been successfully developed across numerous neurosurgical sub-specialities. However, there is often a lack of clarity over their design and weaknesses in their evaluation, including an underrepresentation of the patient's perspective.

Στον τομέα αυτό, είναι ιδιαίτερα σημαντική η ακριβής και γρήγορη εκτίμηση της τιμής των ακινήτων. Η αφθονία των διαθέσιμων δεδομένων, αποτέλεσμα της μετάβασης των συναλλαγών ακινήτων σε πλατφόρμες του ψηφιακού κόσμου, σε συνδυασμό με τις σύγχρονες τεχνικές μηχανικής μάθησης, μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε ικανοποιητικές εκτιμήσεις της αξίας των ακινήτων. Τέτοιες τεχνικές είναι για παράδειγμα η γραμμική παλινδρόμηση και τα νευρωνικά δίκτυα. Στην παρούσα εργασία, χρησιμοποιώντας τις προαναφερθείσες τεχνικές αναπτύχθηκαν δύο μοντέλα αυτοματοποιημένης εκτίμησης αξιών ακινήτων (Automated Valuation Models-ΑVM). Τα μοντέλα αυτά ελαχιστοποιούν την ανάγκη της λεπτομερούς ανάλυσης του κάθε ακινήτου -όπως γινόταν έως τώρα- και συνεπώς αποτελούν ένα αξιόλογο υποστηρικτικό εργαλείο για τους εκτιμητές ακινήτων.

description: Abstract: Background: Understanding young children's eating behaviours is vital to childhood obesity prevention. However, the widely used Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) has not been validated in Chinese young children. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the validity of the CEBQ in a Chinese urban sample of preschool children. Methods: Participants included 389 mothers with preschool children residing in Beijing, China. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, and measurement invariance between child genders was evaluated. Results: The modified 8-factor structure of the CEBQ exhibited acceptable model fit in our sample, and no measurement bias against any gender was observed. The associations between the CEBQ factors and child age showed that desire to drink, emotional overeating, and emotional undereating significantly decreased with age, but food responsiveness increased with age. The relation between child BMI and the CEBQ factors provided convergent validity for the CEBQ. Conclusions: Our study supported the validity of the CEBQ as a measurement tool for examining preschool children's eating behaviours in a Chinese urban sample.

description: The influence of large amplitude pairing fluctuations is investigated in the framework of beyond mean field symmetry conserving configuration mixing calculations. In the numerical application the finite range density dependent Gogny force is used. We investigate the nucleus $^{54}$Cr with particle number and angular momentum projected wave functions considering the axial quadrupole deformation and the pairing gap degree of freedom as generator coordinates. We find that the effects of the pairing fluctuations increase with the excitation energy and the angular momentum. The self-consistency in the determination of the basis states plays an important role.

description: Given an n-dimensional substitution whose associated linear expansion is unimodular and hyperbolic, we use elements of the one-dimensional integer Čech cohomology of the associated tiling space to construct a finite-to-one semi-conjugacy, called geometric realization, between the substitution induced dynamics and an invariant set of a hyperbolic toral automorphism. If the linear expansion satisfies a Pisot family condition and the rank of the module of generalized return vectors equals the generalized degree of the linear expansion, the image of geometric realization is the entire torus and coincides with the map onto the maximal equicontinuous factor of the translation action on the tiling space. We are led to formulate a higher-dimensional generalization of the Pisot Substitution Conjecture: If the linear expansion satisfies the Pisot family condition and the rank of the one-dimensional cohomology of the tiling space equals the generalized degree of the linear expansion, then the translation action on the tiling space has pure discrete spectrum.

Bipolar Magnetic Regions on the Sun: Global Analysis of the SOHO/MDI Data Set

description: The magnetic flux that is generated by dynamo inside the Sun emerges in the form of bipolar magnetic regions. We have analyzed the whole set of solar magnetograms obtained with the SOHO/MDI instrument in 1995-2011, and automatically identified 160,079 bipolar magnetic regions that span a range of scale sizes across nearly four orders of magnitude. Their properties have been statistically analyzed, in particular with respect to the polarity orientations of the bipolar regions, including their tilt angle distributions. The latitude variation of the average tilt angles (with respect to the E-W direction), known as Joy's law, is found to closely follow the relation 32.1*sin(latitude)[deg]. There is no indication of a dependence on region size that one may expect if the tilts were produced by the Coriolis force during the buoyant rise of flux loops from the tachocline region. A few percent of all regions have orientations that violate Hale's polarity law. We show examples, from different phases of the solar cycle, where well defined medium-size bipolar regions with opposite polarity orientations occur side by side in the same latitude zone. Such oppositely oriented large bipolar regions cannot be part of the same toroidal flux system, but different flux systems must coexist in the same latitude zones. These examples are incompatible with the paradigm of coherent, subsurface toroidal flux ropes as the source of sunspots, and instead show that fluctuations must play a major role at all scales for the turbulent dynamo. We see no observational support for a separation of scales or a division between a global and a local dynamo, since also the smallest scales in the data set retain a non-random component that significantly contributes to the accumulated emergence of a N-S dipole moment that leads to the replacement of the old global poloidal field with a new one that has the opposite orientation.

B cells as regulators of natural killer IFN-gamma production in mice
Creators: name: Haddad, Evette
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Natural killer (NK) cells are a potent source of interferon (IFN)-gamma which is required for the protection and clearance of microbial pathogens and tumours. Interleukin (IL)-12 is a cytokine released by dendritic cells (DC), macrophages (M-Phi), and B cells during early pathogenic infection in response to TLR signalling. It is a key inducer of IFN-gamma production and is thought to execute this primarily via the stimulation of NK cells. The focus of this thesis was to elucidate the cells involved in regulating mouse NK cell IFN-gamma release using stimulation with exogenous or endogenously produced IL-12. Our results show that IL-12 is able to stimulate IFN-gamma elaboration primarily from NK cells in cultures of unfractionated splenocytes, yet it is unable to stimulate highly purified NK cells unless exogenous IL-18 is also added. Macrophages, dendritic cells, or NKT cells do not act as partners to co-stimulate NK cell IFN-gamma production. Rather, our work uncovers a necessary and sufficient role for B cells in providing stimulatory help for NK cell IFN-gamma release during IL-12 stimulation. We show that B cells provide secreted IL-18 and contact dependent factors which remain undetermined. We next used the TLR9 ligand CpG-ODN (unmethylated cytokine-guanine dinucleotides) in order to test the ability of B cells to stimulate NK cell IFN-gamma production in the presence of endogenously produced IL-12. While NK cells were again the primary source of IFN-gamma in unfractionated splenocyte cultures, their activation was suppressed rather than enhanced by B cells. This suppressive activity was attributed to a small subset of splenic B cells that express CD5 and secrete IL-10 when directly activated with CpG. IL-10 suppressed the production of IFN-gamma from NK cells by reducing the levels of IL-12 available for NK cell stimulation, and by also acting on the NK cells directly and blunting their release of IFN-gamma. Overall, the research presented herein elucidates a novel role for B cells as both positive and negative regulators of resting NK cell IFN-gamma production in mice.

description: Several psychotherapeutic varieties exist and can be delivered either individually or in a group format. Group Therapy is an effective treatment modality however, there is limited evidence related to the implementation and sustainability of a Therapeutic Group Program (TGP) in an Australian public mental health service setting. The aim of this work-based study was to identify and understand critical elements contributing to the sustainability of a TGP and to enable scaling of implementation in other services. A retrospective analysis of a TGP provided the opportunity to conduct a retrospective analysis of implementation. The TGP consisted of a variety of group therapies for example Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Remediation, Cognitive Behaviour Therapies. Case managers, consumers (patients) and management’s perceptions of the barriers and facilitators of TGP implementation were collected via 14 semi-structured interviews. Michie’s Behaviour Change Wheel characterising behaviour change interventions through Capability, Motivation, Opportunity, and Behaviour (COM-B) was utilised for the thematic analyses of the qualitative data. The findings identified the following: Capability: a shift in focus from case management towards therapeutic intervention and specific training programs leading towards participation in the TGP leads to improved staff capability; Motivation: a clear well defined structured evidence-based approach is required as well as opportunities for staff to participate in the TGP as this facilitate enhanced work satisfaction due to staff working to their full scope of practice; and Opportunity: management support, allocated staff, allotted time for staff, adequate resourcing including a specific budget and clear governance structures are required to sustain the TGP. Strategies identified to facilitate the implementation of evidence-based practice included behaviour change interventions and clarity in statements of policy requirements and governance processes related to TGP in policy documents. These strategies would enable to implementation of a TGP within a public mental health setting and provide consumers access to group therapy through a public service.

description: In this work, we study the correlation between attribute sets and the occurrence of dense subgraphs in large attributed graphs, a task we call structural correlation pattern mining. A structural correlation pattern is a dense subgraph induced by a particular attribute set. Existing methods are not able to extract relevant knowledge regarding how vertex attributes interact with dense subgraphs. Structural correlation pattern mining combines aspects of frequent itemset and quasi-clique mining problems. We propose statistical significance measures that compare the structural correlation of attribute sets against their expected values using null models. Moreover, we evaluate the interestingness of structural correlation patterns in terms of size and density. An efficient algorithm that combines search and pruning strategies in the identification of the most relevant structural correlation patterns is presented. We apply our method for the analysis of three real-world attributed graphs: a collaboration, a music, and a citation network, verifying that it provides valuable knowledge in a feasible time.

description: Abstract: Primordial perturbations in our universe are believed to have a quantum origin, and can be described by the wavefunction of the universe (or equivalently, cosmological correlators). It follows that these observables must carry the imprint of the founding principle of quantum mechanics: unitary time evolution. Indeed, it was recently discovered that unitarity implies an infinite set of relations among tree-level wavefunction coefficients, dubbed the Cosmological Optical Theorem. Here, we show that unitarity leads to a systematic set of “Cosmological Cutting Rules” which constrain wavefunction coefficients for any number of fields and to any loop order. These rules fix the discontinuity of an n-loop diagram in terms of lower-loop diagrams and the discontinuity of tree-level diagrams in terms of tree-level diagrams with fewer external fields. Our results apply with remarkable generality, namely for arbitrary interactions of fields of any mass and any spin with a Bunch-Davies vacuum around a very general class of FLRW spacetimes. As an application, we show how one-loop corrections in the Effective Field Theory of inflation are fixed by tree-level calculations and discuss related perturbative unitarity bounds. These findings greatly extend the potential of using unitarity to bootstrap cosmological observables and to restrict the space of consistent effective field theories on curved spacetimes.

description: In this article, we calculate the in-medium mass modifications of the scalar mesons $D_0$ and $B_0$ using the QCD sum rules. In calculations, we observe that the $D_0N$ and $B_0N$ scattering lengths are about $1.1\,\rm{fm}$ and $4.1\,\rm{fm}$ respectively, the mass-shifts $δM_{D_0}=69\,\rm{MeV}$ and $δM_{B_0}=217\,\rm{MeV}$, and the $D_0N$ and $B_0N$ interactions are repulsive. The positive mass-shifts indicate that the decays of the higher charmonium states into the $D_0\bar{D}_0$ pair are suppressed.

Remarks. Tumšs & Maršakovs (1970: 94) reported a single female specimen from Latvia (Riga 2.6.1968) as Chrysis rosina. Subsequently also Soon (2004: 46) and Rosa & Soon (2012, as Chrysis interjecta interjecta) reported the species from Latvia, based on Tumšs’ & Maršakovs’ record. The Latvian specimen has not been found from the collection of the Natural History Museum of Riga. As C. interjecta is generally a southern European species, the existence of a distant isolated population in northern Europe is unlikely, and the record from Latvia is doubtful.

description: We consider a new type of defect in the scope of linear elasticity theory, using geometrical methods. This defect is produced by a spherically symmetric dislocation, or ball dislocation. We derive the induced metric as well as the affine connections and curvature tensors. Since the induced metric is discontinuous, one can expect ambiguity coming from these quantities, due to products between delta functions or its derivatives, plaguing a description of ball dislocations based on the Geometric Theory of Defects. However, exactly as in the previous case of cylindric defect, one can obtain some well-defined physical predictions of the induced geometry. In particular, we explore some properties of test particle trajectories around the defect and show that these trajectories are curved but can not be circular orbits.

description: This paper presents a query evaluation technique for positive relational algebra queries with aggregates on a representation system for probabilistic data based on the algebraic structures of semiring and semimodule. The core of our evaluation technique is a procedure that compiles semimodule and semiring expressions into so-called decomposition trees, for which the computation of the probability distribution can be done in time linear in the product of the sizes of the probability distributions represented by its nodes. We give syntactic characterisations of tractable queries with aggregates by exploiting the connection between query tractability and polynomial-time decomposition trees. A prototype of the technique is incorporated in the probabilistic database engine SPROUT. We report on performance experiments with custom datasets and TPC-H data.

description: We perform a detailed study of the gamma-ray burst GRB091127/SN2009nz host galaxy at z=0.490 using the VLT/X-shooter spectrograph in slit and integral-field unit (IFU). From the analysis of the optical and X-ray afterglow data obtained from ground-based telescopes and Swift-XRT we confirm the presence of a bump associated with SN2009nz and find evidence of a possible jet break in the afterglow lightcurve. The X-shooter afterglow spectra reveal several emission lines from the underlying host, from which we derive its integrated properties. These are in agreement with those of previously studied GRB-SN hosts and, more generally, with those of the long GRB host population. We use the Hubble Space Telescope and ground based images of the host to determine its stellar mass (M_star). Our results extend to lower M_star values the M-Z plot derived for the sample of long GRB hosts at 0.3

The Potential of Spaced-based High-Energy Neutrino Measurements via the Airshower Cherenkov Signal

description: Future space-based experiments, such as OWL and JEM-EUSO, view large atmospheric and terrestrial neutrino targets. With energy thresholds slightly above 10^19 eV for observing airshowers via air fluorescence, the potential for observing the cosmogenic neutrino flux associated with the GZK effect is limited. However, the forward Cherenkov signal associated with the airshower can be observed at much lower energies. A simulation was developed to determine the Cherenkov signal strength and spatial extent at low-Earth orbit for upward-moving airshowers. A model of tau neutrino interactions in the Earth was employed to determine the event rate of interactions that yielded a tau lepton which would induce an upward-moving airshower observable by a space-based instrument. The effect of neutrino attenuation by the Earth forces the viewing of the Earth's limb to observe the nu_tau-induced Cherenkov airshower signal at above the OWL Cherenkov energy threshold of ~10^16.5 eV for limb-viewed events. Furthermore, the neutrino attenuation limits the effective terrestrial neutrino target area to ~3x10^5 km^2 at 10^17 eV, for an orbit of 1000 km and an instrumental full Field-of-View of 45 degrees. This translates into an observable cosmogenic neutrino event rate of ~1/year based upon two different models of the cosmogenic neutrino flux, assuming neutrino oscillations and a 10% duty cycle for observation.

Role of the ubiquitin/proteasome system in coxsackievirus induced-myocarditis
Creators: name: Gao, Guang

description: Viral myocarditis, an inflammatory disease of the myocardium, can lead to the development of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a common cause of heart failure. Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) in the family of Picornaviridae is one of the primary causative agents of viral myocarditis. The ubiquitin/proteasome system (UPS), a primary intracellular protein degradation system in eukaryotic cells, has emerged as a key modulator in viral infectivity and virus-mediated pathogenesis. Our laboratory has previously demonstrated a potential role of the UPS in CVB3 infection. However, the effect of proteasome inhibition on CVB3-induced myocarditis in vivo has not been assessed and the underlying mechanism by which the UPS regulates CVB3 replication remains unclear. In this dissertation, my hypothesis is that the UPS plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of CVB3-induced myocarditis through promoting CVB3 replication and by regulating host protein degradation. To test this hypothesis, I proposed three aims. In aim 1, using a myocarditis-susceptible mouse model, I demonstrated that treatment with a proteasome inhibitor MLN353 significantly attenuates CVB3-induced myocardial damage, suggesting that proteasome inhibition may provide a therapeutic means for viral myocarditis. During this study, however, the potential toxicity of general inhibition of proteasome was recognized, which prompted me to search for the specific targets within the UPS utilized by CVB3. In aim 2, collaborating with others, I showed that protein ubiquitination is enhanced and CVB3 protein 3D is ubiquitinated during viral infection. Gene-silencing of ubiquitin significantly reduces viral titers. However, this reduction is not as potent as by proteasome inhibition, suggesting that ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation may also play a role during CVB3 infection. In aim 3, I showed that REG gamma, which mediates ubiquitin-independent protein degradation, enhances CVB3 replication via facilitating p53 degradation. During CVB3 infection, REG gamma is sumoylated and translocated. Taken together, the results suggest a therapeutic value of proteasome inhibition in the treatment of viral myocarditis. The data also demonstrate important roles of both the ubiquitin-dependent and -independent pathways in the regulation of CVB3 infection. Identification of the specific substrates within the UPS during CVB3 infection and the potential mechanisms involved allows for more precise targeting in drug therapy.
