description: Simple Summary In the development of new targeted radiopharmaceuticals, it is mandatory to demonstrate their target-specific binding. Rodents are still primarily used for these experiments. With respect to the 3Rs principles, the demand for alternative methods to reduce the number of animal experiments is continuously increasing. In the present study, we investigated whether radiotracer uptake specificity can be evaluated by blocking studies in the CAM model. PET and MR imaging were used to visualize and quantify ligand accumulation. It was demonstrated that the CAM model could be used to evaluate the target-specific binding of a radiopharmaceutical. Due to intrinsic limitations of the CAM model, animal testing will still be required at more advanced stages of compound development. Still, the CAM model could significantly reduce the number of experiments through early compound pre-selection. Abstract Inhibition studies in small animals are the standard for evaluating the specificity of newly developed drugs, including radiopharmaceuticals. Recently, it has been reported that the tumor accumulation of radiotracers can be assessed in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model with similar results to experiments in mice, such contributing to the 3Rs principles (reduction, replacement, and refinement). However, inhibition studies to prove receptor-specific binding have not yet been performed in the CAM model. Thus, in the present work, we analyzed the feasibility of inhibition studies in ovo by PET and MRI using the PSMA-specific ligand [18F]siPSMA-14 and the corresponding inhibitor 2-PMPA. A dose-dependent blockade of [18F]siPSMA-14 uptake was successfully demonstrated by pre-dosing with different inhibitor concentrations. Based on these data, we conclude that the CAM model is suitable for performing inhibition studies to detect receptor-specific binding. While in the later stages of development of novel radiopharmaceuticals, testing in rodents will still be necessary for biodistribution analysis, the CAM model is a promising alternative to mouse experiments in the early phases of compound evaluation. Thus, using the CAM model and PET and MR imaging for early pre-selection of promising radiolabeled compounds could significantly reduce the number of animal experiments.

Methane and non-methane organic compounds oxidation in landfill bio-covers
Creators: name: Albanna, Muna
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Environmental.

description: One critical source, which adds to the anthropogenic methane (CH 4) emissions, is solid waste disposal. The biogas generated from biodegradation of solid waste in landfills, known as landfill gas (LFG), consists of CH 4, carbon dioxide (CO2), plus trace amounts of non-methane organic compounds (NMOCs). Most of the existing landfills around the world do not have LFG collection setups, and the emissions are just released into the atmosphere. Oxidation of CH4 and NMOCs by methanotrophic bacteria within the landfill cover (LFC) provides a sink for these harmful fugitive emissions. The scope of this research was to carry out a comprehensive study on the biological oxidation of CH4 and NMOCs in the LFC, under diverse operating conditions. To achieve this goal, various parameters affecting the oxidation process, including cover medium, temperature, saturation limit and nutrients addition, were studied. Statistical analysis and modeling were carried out to estimate the interactions between several parameters under investigation, and to draw conclusions about the combined effects of these parameters on the LFC system. The effects of NMOCs on CH4 oxidation capacity of the LFC were examined in batch scale and continuous flow column experiments. Additionally, the co-metabolic abilities of methanotrophs were explored and the biological bio-degradation rates on NMOCs were estimated under different temperature and moisture content levels. Artificial neural networks (ANN) modeling technique was used to describe the complex input/output relationships and to simulate the CH4 oxidation rates in the presence of NMOCs under diverse conditions that are representative of LFC system.

description: Modulation of the gut microbiota through the use of probiotics has been widely used to treat or prevent several intestinal diseases. However, inconsistent results have compromised the efficacy of this approach, especially in severe conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The purpose of our study was to develop a personalized probiotic strategy and assess its efficacy in a murine model of intestinal inflammation. Commensal bacterial strains were isolated from the feces of healthy mice and then administered back to the host as a personalized treatment in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. Colonic tissues were collected for histological analysis and to investigate inflammatory markers such as Il-1β, Il-6, TGF-β, and Il-10, and the enzyme myeloperoxidase as a neutrophil marker. The group that received the personalized probiotic showed reduced susceptibility to DSS-colitis as compared to a commercial probiotic. This protection was characterized by a lower disease activity index and reduced histopathological damage in the colon. Moreover, the personalized probiotic was more effective in modulating the host immune response, leading to decreased Il-1β and Il-6 and increased TGF-β and Il-10 expression. In conclusion, our study suggests that personalized probiotics may possess an advantage over commercial probiotics in treating dysbiotic-related conditions, possibly because they are derived directly from the host’s own microbiota.

description: The first steps in photochemical processes, such as photosynthesis or animal vision, involve changes in electronic and geometric structure on extremely short time scales. Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is a natural way to measure such changes, but has been hindered hitherto by limitations of available pulsed light sources in the vacuum-ultraviolet and soft X-ray spectral region, which have insufficient resolution in time and energy simultaneously. The unique combination of intensity, energy resolution, and femtosecond pulse duration of the FERMI-seeded free-electron laser can now provide exceptionally detailed information on photoexcitation-deexcitation and fragmentation in pump-probe experiments on the 50-femtosecond time scale. For the prototypical system acetylacetone we report here electron spectra measured as a function of time delay with enough spectral and time resolution to follow several photoexcited species through well-characterized individual steps, interpreted using state-of-the-art static and dynamics calculations. These results open the way for investigations of photochemical processes in unprecedented detail.
Prescription drug coverage in Canada: a review of the economic, policy and political considerations for universal pharmacare
Creators: name: Brandt, Jaden

Year: 2018

description: Background: Canadians have long been proud of their universal health insurance system, which publicly funds the cost of physician visits and hospitalizations at the point of care. Prescription drugs however, have been subject to a patchwork of public and private coverage which is frequently inefficient and creates access barriers to necessary medicine for many Canadians. Methods: A narrative review was undertaken to understand the important economic, policy and political considerations regarding implementation of universal prescription drug access in Canada (pan-Canadian pharmacare). PubMed, SCOPUS and google scholar were searched for relevant citations. Citation trails were followed for additional information sources. Published books, public reports, press releases, policy papers, government webpages and other forms of gray literature were collected from iterative internet searches to provide a complete view of the current state on this topic. Main findings: Regarding health economics, all five of the reviewed pharmacare simulation models have shown reductions in annual prescription drug expenditure. However, differing policy and cost assumptions have resulted in a wide range of cost-saving estimates between models. In terms of policy, a single-payer, ‘first-dollar’ coverage model, using a minimum national formulary, is the model most frequently advocated by the academic community, healthcare professions and many public and patient groups. In contrast, a multi-payer, catastrophic ‘last-dollar’ coverage model, more similar to the current “patchwork” state of public and private coverage, is preferred by industry drug manufacturers and private health insurance companies. Primary concerns from the detractors of universal, single-payer, ‘first-dollar’ coverage are the financing required for its implementation and the access barriers that may be created for certain patient populations that are not majorly present in the current public-private payer mix. Conclusion: Canada patiently awaits to see how the issue of prescription drug coverage will be resolved through the work of the Advisory Council on the Implementation of National Pharmacare. The overarching and ongoing discourse on policy and program implementation may be construed as a political debate informed by divergent public and private interests.

description: Interactions with the pervasive intelligence environment are increasingly becoming complex due to the presence of myriad sensors, artifacts and emerging services. Therefore, users need support to interact, control, and manage these services in their environment in an effective manner. One way to deal with this situation is to automatically identify their surrounding context and provide them context-aware services in order to reduce their cognitive load. Providing automatic support to users is known as implicit interaction, which minimizes the need for explicit command or interaction. However, as the sensor-based context identification often provides imprecise information, the automation based on such information may result in wrong actions or over automation by the intelligent environment. Therefore, the selection of inappropriate services while providing automatic support in the environment brings distrust and dissatisfaction to the people. In this thesis, we provide a framework for human-environment interactions that considers quality of context information to dynamically change the level of implicit interaction performed by the environment. Our goal is to provide a quality of context aware adaptive interaction mechanism in order to minimize the distrust and dissatisfaction of users on context-adaptive automated environment. Toward this, we first provide a model to dynamically assess the quality of context information. Based on such quality, our framework adjusts the level of output automation that the environment performs. Finally, according to the adjusted level of interaction, a set of services are either suggested or invoked for the users based on the gain in those services and their associated cost. Our experiments show that dynamically adjusting the level of interaction based on quality of context information increases the satisfaction and trust of the people in the implicit actions performed by the intelligent environment.

description: Cadmium, lead, mercury, copper, nickel, zinc, and arsenic were analyzed in suspendedparticulate matter(SPM),zebra mussels, and bream sampled yearly under the program of the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) in the rivers Rhine, Elbe, Danube, Saar, Mulde, and Saale and in Lake Belau. Temporal and spatial trends were analyzed, correlations between metal levels in different specimen types assessed, and sampling sites ranked according to their metal levels by calculating a Multi-Metal Index (MMI) for everyspecimen typeand site. SPM: Highest metal loads were detected in Mulde, Saale, and Elbe right downstream of the Saale confluence. In the Elbe, metal loads in SPM were mostly highest in the upper and middle section of the river while in Rhine and Saar concentrations increased downstream. Temporal trends since 2005 were detected only at three sites.Zebramussel: MMIs were highest in the tidal section of the Elbe and the lower Rhine and lowest in Lake Belau and the upper Danube. Different temporal trends were detected since the early 1990s depending on site and metal. Bream: As, Pb, Cu, and Hg were analyzed in muscle tissue and Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn in liver. For both tissues, MMIs were highest in Mulde and Saale and the lower and middle Elbe. Since the early 1990s, Hg, Pb, and Cu decreased in bream muscle at many sites while As increased at 6 of the 17 sites. The findings indicate that Hg, Pb, and Cu have obviously decreased in many freshwater ecosystems in recent years, whereas As and Ni levels have increased at several sites. Metal levels and temporal trends mostly differed between the specimen types under investigation and only few correlations between specimen types were detected. This underlines the importance of including different components of an ecosystem when assessing its environmental quality. Quelle: http://link.springer.com
Never Was Such a Race of Dancers: Dance and Nation in Canadian Literature
Creators: name: Macquarrie, Jenn
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Literature, Canadian (English).
subject: Dance.

description: This dissertation is an interdisciplinary project that brings dance studies to bear on a representative sampling of early Canadian novels, including Frances Brooke's The History of Emily Montague (1769), Rosanna Leprohon's Antoinette de Mirecourt (1864), William Kirby's The Golden Dog (1877), John Richardson's Wacousta (1832), Sara Jeannette Duncan's A Daughter of Today (1894), and L.M. Montgomery's Anne and Emily series, as well as The Blue Castle (1909-27). The main argument of the dissertation is that the scenes and language of various forms of dance in these novels can be read as markers of textual concern with colonial and national health, whether physical, mental, or moral. The analysis is based on archival and theoretical investigation of various forms of dance (British social dance, Native dance, French court ballet, Romantic ballet, Delsartian and modern dance) including their contemporary cultural and ideological significance. At the broadest level, this dissertation demonstrates how the relatively new field of dance studies -- the theoretical and critical study of dance in its various forms and functions -- can enrich literary criticism, in this case the study of early Canadian literary texts. The close analysis of dance in literature, when allied with an understanding of the particular dances themselves, can produce startling new avenues of literary investigation.

description: Part I. 2-Butynoic acid, which was synthesized by the reaction of carbon dioxide with lithio methylacetylide, was converted to the methyl ester with diazomethane. This ester, when photolysed in benzene, gave 2-carbomethoxy-1-methylcyclooctatetraene. Hydrogenation of 2-carbomethoxy-1-methylcyclooctatetraene confirmed the presence of four double bonds and gave a single product, cis-2-carbomethoxy-1-methylcyclooctane. 2-Carbomethoxy-1-methylcyclooctatetraene was converted to the alcohol by metal hydride in ether. It was found that aluminum hydride gave better yields than lithium aluminum hydride. The reaction of phosphorus tribromide with this alcohol gave the bromo compound which, when treated with trimethylamine in methanolhexane, gave 1-methyl-2-N,N,N-trimethylaminomethylcyclooctatetraene bromide, This quaternary bromide on treatment with an aqueous slurry of silver oxide gave the quaternary hydroxide, which was readily converted to 1,2-dimethylenecyclooctatriene by pyrolysis at reduced pressure. The mass spectra of 2-carbomethoxy-1-methylcyclooctatetraene, 2-hydroxymethyl-1-methylcyclooctatetraene, and 1,2-dimethylenecyclooctatriene were obtained and breakdown patterns were proposed. 1,2-Dimethylenecyclooctatriene was shown to be monocyclic by the n.m.r. spectrum, although the possibility that the monocyclic form is in equilibrium with a small amount of a bicyclic form is not excluded. An attempt to obtain a bicyclic form by photolysis was unsuccessful. 1,2-Dimethylenecyclooctatriene was shown to be fairly stable thermally but extremely sensitive to oxygen. The infrared spectrum indicated that the molecule is not highly strained. Molecular orbital calculations were performed on planar 1,2-dimethylenecyclooctatriene. The total pi energy, the delocalization energy, the bond orders and the free valences were calculated. Despite a high calculated delocalization energy for the planar form, the molecule apparently prefers a less strained non-planar shape as is shown by the ultraviolet spectrum. The reactions of a variety of pi systems with dienophiles were compared with the reaction of 1,2-dimethylenecyclooctatriene with tetracyanoethylene. Part II. The addition of ketene to cis, trans-1,3-cyclooctadiene gave trans-bicyclo[6.2.0]dec-2-en-9-one. Arguments were presented supporting the assignment of the position of the double bond as gammadelta to the carbonyl group and the fusion of the rings as trans. The reduced product, bicyclo[6.2.0]dec-9-one was prepared. The reduction confirmed that the original product had only one double bond. cis-Bicyclo[6.2.0]dec-2-en-9-one was obtained by passing a dilute solution of trans-bicyclo[6.2.0]dec-2-en-9-one in pentane through an alumina column. Wolff-Kishner reduction gave bicyclo[6.2.0]dec-2-ene which was used for dehydrogenation studies. Dehydrogenation by rhodium on alumina gave a small amount of azulene but none of the desired bicyclo[6.2.0]decapentaene.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: A large rigid circular raft has been instrumented to study its foundation performance in the Leda Clay of the Ottawa region. The raft which supports a tower farm silo has a diameter of 13.7 m (45 ft) and a thickness of 1 m (3.28 ft). Comprehensive laboratory and field measurements were performed. All the laboratory tests including, CIU triaxial and oedometer, as well as the field vane shear strength tests were carried out by the staff of NRC, DBR. The other measurements which included: normal contact pressure distributions, settlement and pore-water pressures at various depths and the deflection of the raft were carried out by the University of Ottawa in cooperation with NRC, DBR. The measurements have been analyzed and where possible the results of the analysis compared to theory and to case records. In addition, the load settlement data for six square footings and four test plates also in Leda Clay, have been analyzed; and the results compared to those for the silo raft. The plate and footing measurements were carried out by the Geotechnical Group of the University of Ottawa at Algonquin College, Woodroffe Campus, in Ottawa. The outcome of the research programme includes the following: (a) recommended ranges of Eu/Su values applicable to most foundation elements founded in Leda Clay of the Ottawa area; (b) settlement distribution curves which appear to be a characteristic of the clay, and (c) design recommendations concerning normal contact pressures and the modulus of subgrade reaction. All the above recommendations apply when the soil is loaded below its preconsolidation stress. Finally, a list of suggestions for further research work is brought forward.

description: Radar-based gesture recognition can provide autonomous electronic systems with a reliable way to infer a human’s intention, e.g. in traffic environments involving vulnerable road users (VRUs). Particularly in complex scenarios, algorithms operating on radar target lists derived from constant false-alarm rate (CFAR) outputs present an attractive solution, as they not only enable the filtering of relevant targets but can also make full use of the diverse, high-resolution target parameters provided by modern radar sensors. Therefore, this paper proposes PointNet+LSTM for the enhanced target list-based recognition of challenging traffic gestures, combining per-frame feature extraction with PointNet and learning from sequences with a long short-term memory (LSTM). The approach is generalized to facilitate the use of multistatic radar data from sensor networks to exploit slightly different viewing angles, which is particularly helpful for motions with low radial velocity. The proposed method is validated on a comprehensive dataset comprising eight traffic gestures and data recorded from 35 participants. Measurements are conducted both indoors and outdoors with an incoherent radar sensor network comprising three chirp sequence (CS)-multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) sensors. On this challenging dataset, our approach clearly outperforms a reference convolutional neural network (CNN), reaching up to 92.2% cross-validation accuracy.

description: Biosolids are defined as appropriately treated sewage sludge which consists of untreated organic slurry residue derived from wastewater treatment processes. The use of biosolids and other waste materials in a sustainable manner is currently being investigated in several countries around the world. This paper reports on results obtained from field investigations to assess the viability of using biosolids as stabilised fill for road embankments. Field tests were recently carried out on biosolids stockpiles at the Western Treatment Plant in Victoria, Australia. The field tests included field vane shear tests, standard penetration tests (SPT) and dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) tests. Undisturbed tube samples and disturbed bulk samples were also collected for future laboratory testing. Geotechnical parameters from the field test were obtained and compared with the existing local road authority specification for fill material.

description: This thesis concerns the investigation of hydroformylation-cyclisation reactions for the synthesis of chiral, saturated nitrogen heterocycles. The first chapter is a literature review that details the work that has previously been carried out in this area, much of which is focussed on linear regioselective hydroformylation reactions and hence these do not include any introduction of enantioselectivity from the hydroformylation reaction. A few examples use dual catalysts in order to refine the enantiomeric excess after the hydroformylation step, but the examples that introduce enantioselectivity in the hydroformylation step are recent ones and are primarily from the Zhang group and the Clarke group. These are discussed in the most detail. The second chapter is a discussion of the experimental work on the use of hydroformylation-cyclisation reactions with a Rh/ BOBPHOS catalyst for the synthesis of piperidines. Here it is established that the use of BOBPHOS is necessary for obtaining high branched regioselectivity as well as high enantioselectivity with these unbiased substrates. It is also clearly presented that the use of a sulfonamide protecting group on the nitrogen is key to balancing the nucleophilicity of the nitrogen lone pair with the stability of the hemi-aminal intermediate, which can then be reduced in a one-pot procedure to the piperidine. Expansion of this methodology to substituted piperidines is also discussed. The third chapter focusses on the formation of 3-methylpyrrolidine through hydroformylation-cyclisation to form the tosyl-protected derivative, followed by a one-pot reduction and subsequent isolation from the crude reaction mixture. Deprotection of such a small, volatile amine as well as measurement of the enantiomeric excess proved challenging and that is also discussed here. Preliminary steps for extending the reactivity of this methodology for the synthesis of an ant venom component, Leptothoracine, through a second HAM reaction of a 1,1-disubstituted alkene are also presented. The fourth chapter summarises the main outcomes of these results and contextualises the advances that have been made, whilst the final chapter contains the experimental procedures and compound data. Two appendixes are also included: the first describing palladium-catalysed carbonylation reactions for the synthesis of pyrrolidinones and piperidinones; the second appendix contains data for selected key compounds whose synthesis has been discussed within this thesis.

description: Written-expression curriculum-based measurement (WE-CBM) is used for screening and progress monitoring students with or at risk of learning disabilities (LD) for academic supports; however, WE-CBM has limitations in technical adequacy, construct representation, and scoring feasibility as grade level increases. The purpose of this study was to examine the structural and external validity of automated text evaluation with Coh-Metrix vs. traditional WE-CBM scoring for narrative writing samples (7 min duration) collected in fall and winter from 144 second through fifth grade students. Seven algorithms were applied to train models of Coh-Metrix and traditional WE-CBM scores to predict holistic quality of the writing samples as evidence of structural validity; then, external validity was evaluated via correlations with rated quality on other writing samples. Key findings were that (a) structural validity coefficients were higher for Coh-Metrix compared to traditional WE-CBM but similar in the external validity analyses, (b) external validity coefficients were higher than reported in prior WE-CBM studies with holistic or analytic ratings as a criterion measure, and (c) there were few differences in performance across the predictive algorithms. Overall, the results highlight the potential use of automated text evaluation for WE-CBM scoring. Implications for screening and progress monitoring are discussed.

description: Manufacturing uncertainties, mutual antenna coupling, and other hardware imperfections lead to a deviation of the real hardware behavior from the ideal one. Calibration procedures aim to determine the deviation between the ideal signal model and the real hardware behavior to achieve an improved measurement accuracy of the array. When using large apertures and large modulation bandwidths, the measured distance of a single target at different receive antennas depends on the incident angle. Furthermore, the far-field condition cannot be met. In this paper, the influence of these errors on the calibration is analyzed and a strategy to correct these errors by signal processing is derived. Additionally, we propose a method to reduce the calibration effort for large aperture radars based on the a-priori knowledge of the array geometry. Experimental results with an imaging radar at 150 GHz demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed error correction method and the related calibration concept.

description: Chronic inflammation of the adipose tissue (AT) is a major contributor to obesity-associated cardiometabolic complications. The olive oil polyphenol hydroxytyrosol (HT) contributes to Mediterranean diet cardiometabolic benefits through mechanisms still partially unknown. We investigated HT (1 and 10 μmol/L) effects on gene expression (mRNA and microRNA) related to inflammation induced by 10 ng/mL tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in human Simpson–Golabi–Behmel Syndrome (SGBS) adipocytes. At real-time PCR, HT significantly inhibited TNF-α-induced mRNA levels, of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, C-X-C Motif Ligand-10, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, vascular endothelial growth factor, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, cyclooxygenase-2, macrophage colony-stimulating factor, matrix metalloproteinase-2, Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase-1, and glutathione peroxidase, as well as surface expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and reverted the TNF-α-mediated inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator-1α, and glucose transporter-4. We found similar effects in adipocytes stimulated by macrophage-conditioned media. Accordingly, HT significantly counteracted miR-155-5p, miR-34a-5p, and let-7c-5p expression in both cells and exosomes, and prevented NF-κB activation and production of reactive oxygen species. HT can therefore modulate adipocyte gene expression profile through mechanisms involving a reduction of oxidative stress and NF-κB inhibition. By such mechanisms, HT may blunt macrophage recruitment and improve AT inflammation, preventing the deregulation of pathways involved in obesity-related diseases.
