description: [This executive summary was prepared for: City of Vancouver Vancouver Coastal Health Authority TransLink] A growing body of evidence suggests that transportation and land use investments can have broadreaching implications for population health, economic development, and greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation systems link people with social and health promoting resources, such as employment, education, food, recreation, social services, and health care. When developed thoughtfully, transit investment can be lead to more compact urban development conducive to active transportation. Transit investment thus can influence healthy behaviors such as walking and biking. Fixed alignment transit such as rail rapid transit, light rail transit and bus rapid transit, are important regional investments that influence land values and are linked with economic development, housing, and social justice strategies. As the City of Vancouver, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, Metro Vancouver, and TransLink prepare for the Millennium Line Broadway Extension (MLBE) rail rapid transit investment; this report provides a review of methodologies of pre/post evaluations, strengths, weaknesses, and applicability to the MLBE. It also documents the edge of current academic knowledge that may be augmented through thoughtful studies implemented around the MLBE.

description: BACKGROUND: Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) can be used as a potent stimulator for immune suppressed patients as defined by a decrease of human leukocyte antigen-D related expression on monocytes (mHLA- DR) after surgery. However, the exact role of GM-CSF on monocytic and T cell function is unclear. METHODS: In this retrospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) subgroup analysis, monocytic respectively T cell function and T cell subspecies of 20 immune suppressed (i.e. mHLA-DR levels below 10,000 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) per cell at the first day after surgery) patients after esophageal or pancreatic resection were analyzed. Each 10 patients received either GM-CSF (250 μg/m²/d) or placebo for a maximum of three consecutive days if mHLA-DR levels remained below 10,000 mAb per cell. mHLA-DR and further parameters of immune function were measured preoperatively (od) until day 5 after surgery (pod5). Statistical analyses were performed using nonparametric statistical procedures. RESULTS: In multivariate analysis, mHLA- DR significantly differed between the groups (p < 0.001). mHLA-DR was increased on pod2 (p < 0.001) and pod3 (p = 0.002) after GM-CSF application. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) release of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated monocytes multivariately significantly differed between the groups (p < 0.008) and was increased in the GM-CSF group on pod2 (p < 0.001) and pod3 (p = 0.046). Th17/regulatory T (Treg) cell ratio was higher after GM-CSF treatment on pod2 (p = 0.041). No differences were seen in lymphocytes and T helper cell (Th)1/Th2 specific cytokine production after T cell stimulation with Concanavalin (Con) A between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative application of GM-CSF significantly enhanced qualitative monocytic function by increased mHLA-DR and TNF-α release after LPS stimulation and apparently enhanced Th17/Treg ratio.

description: Herpesviruses are highly prevalent human pathogens that have the ability to form life-long latent infection in host cells. The persistent reinjury of vessels upon virus reactivation has been suggested to link infection to vascular disease. The goal of this study was to determine the mechanism and role of early initiating events in virus-mediated vasculopathy. We now report that these events are mediated through the expression of tissue factor (TF) and a previously unknown mechanism, that both function in the acceleration of factor VIIa (FVIIa)-dependent activation of factor X (FX) to FXa. The current study identifies herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1)-encoded glycoprotein C (gC) as a novel second independent FX activating pathway on the virus surface. Using specific chromogenic assays, an HSV1 gC-deficient virus invariably generated 5 fold less FXa per particle than either wild type or gC-rescued strains. The direct involvement of gC was confirmed using purified recombinant gC, which enhanced FXa production, and like TF, was dependent on FVIIa, Ca 2+ and anionic phospholipid. Differential inhibition of gC-competent and -deficient strains by an anti-TF antibody confirmed simultaneous and independent TF- and gC-dependent FX activating mechanisms on the virus. Hypothesizing that cell signaling by thrombin, the final coagulation protease, may be advantageous to the virus, the effect on Herpesvirus infection was assessed. Using plaque formation assays, a thrombin specific inhibitor, hirudin, was shown to attenuate the serum-dependent increase in infection, demonstrating the importance of virus initiated thrombin production. In agreement, the addition of purified thrombin resulted in an approximate 60--80% increase in infectious events. The same enhancement was facilitated by incubation with a protease activated receptor 1 (PAR1) agonist, TRAP, indicating the effect is mediated through at least PAR1 on the cell surface. Using western blot analysis and chromogenic assays, individual variations in thrombogenic potential associated with each Herpesvirus was also determined and correlated with well-documented clinical observations. Cumulatively, these observations illustrate that Herpesviruses have evolved strategies to mimic and exploit host proteins to generate haemostatic cell signaling enzymes that may ultimately lead to the increased susceptibility of cells to infection and perturbation of the vasculature.

Rhetoric and embodiment in Machiavelli's "Discorsi" II/II.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: This thesis offers an alternative way to read Machiavelli's Discorsi. As such, it is not a dialectical work; it does not concern itself with undermining or refuting a given position. Rather it introduces a new model with which to understand Machiavelli's writing and thought. A popular view of Machiavelli is that which claims this author to be the founder of modernity. Scholars such as Robert Hariman, in his excellent "Composing Modernity in Machiavelli's Prince." (1989), claim that he inaugurates the period of modern thinking by inventing ontological-thetic rationality and in particular, instrumental reason. It is the central claim of this thesis that it is more productive to consider Machiavelli to be a Renaissance Humanist, making use of this period's rhetorical employ of reason. This thesis embraces a methodology, presented in the introduction as well as in the case-study of Hariman's article, that is decidedly rhetorical. It examines the space of discourse.

Molecular mechanisms affecting utrophin expression in fast versus slow skeletal muscles; possible therapeutic targets for Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Creators: name: Chakkalakal, Joe V
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal X-linked myopathy characterized by the absence of the cytoskeletal protein dystrophin. The absence of dystrophin leads to impaired sarcolemmal integrity, and inefficient muscle regeneration. Currently, there is no effective therapy to significantly improve the quality of life for DMD patients. One therapeutic approach is to express, at therapeutically relevant levels, a homologous protein that can compensate for dystrophin. Utrophin is one such protein, primarily expressed at the neuromuscular junction, which can compensate for dystrophin function. Therefore, it becomes imperative to identify pathways that regulate the expression of utrophin. Such efforts could identify targets that may be manipulated in attempts to promote utrophin expression along the entire length of dystrophin-deficient myofibers. In this thesis, we investigate the mechanisms that promote higher levels of utrophin expression in extra-synaptic regions of slow, versus fast muscles. We determined through the use of isoform specific antibodies and primers that the A isoform of utrophin is highly expressed in slow, relative to fast muscles. Direct plasmid injections, and in vitro transfection assays with A-utrophin promoter-reporter constructs determined that peroxisome proliferators activated receptor gamma co-factor 1 alpha (PGC-1alpha) and calcineurin can affect the transcription of A-utrophin via the transcription factors GABPalpha and NFATc1, respectively. Similar techniques using utrophin 3'UTR reporter constructs and in vitro stability assays, also determined that calcineurin activity could affect the stability of A-utrophin transcripts via an AU-rich element (ARE) in the utrophin 3'UTR. We also interbred transgenic mice with stimulated calcineurin signaling or impaired calmodulin signaling in skeletal muscles, with dystrophin-deficient mdx mice. We found that stimulation of calcineurin activity improved dystrophic pathology, and increased A-utrophin expression. In contrast, inhibition of calmodulin signaling exacerbated dystrophic pathology, impaired pathways that promote the slow myofiber program, decreased GABPalpha and PGC-1alpha expression and reduced A-utrophin levels. Collectively, these observations demonstrate that Ca+2/calmodulin regulated effectors such as calcineurin and PGC-1alpha can regulate the expression of utrophin, and can serve as potential therapeutic targets for DMD.

description: Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Bibliotheksarchitektur der Bibliothek Deichman Bjørvika (DBO, 2020) in Oslo, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der baulichen Effekte auf das Nutzungsverhalten und die sozialen Interaktionen. Die staunenden Besuchenden werden dazu aufgefordert, sich sowohl in der konkreten Ortserfahrung als auch sozialräumlich zu positionieren. Die Angebote der Bibliothek weisen strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten zu denen einer Shoppingmall auf, und das Nutzungsverhalten der Besuchenden knüpft an die Praktiken in Malls an. Rem Koolhaas’ Seattle Library von 2004 erweist sich für DBO als wichtiges Referenzwerk, ebenso sind die Einflüsse des Konzepts des third place von Ray Oldenburg (1989) immer noch spürbar. Der Beitrag folgt im Analyseteil zwei Assoziationen des deutschen Architekturkritikers Niklas Maak: dem Vergleich der Osloer Zentralbibliothek mit einem Mußeraum und der Bezugnahme auf den niederländischen Maler und Bildhauer Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920–2005, Künstlername Constant) und seinem Gesamtkunstwerk New Babylon (1956–1974). Abschließend wird Constants Utopie eines kollektiven Raum-Kontinuums und der Konnektivität auf eine physisch-digital verschränkte Literaturvermittlungsmaßnahme von DBO bezogen und eine vorläufige Einschätzung des baulich-sozialen Ensembles gegeben.

description: Collaborative competitions have gained popularity in the scientific and technological fields. These competitions involve defining tasks, selecting evaluation scores, and devising result verification methods. In the standard scenario, participants receive a training set and are expected to provide a solution for a held-out dataset kept by organizers. An essential challenge for organizers arises when comparing algorithms' performance, assessing multiple participants, and ranking them. Statistical tools are often used for this purpose; however, traditional statistical methods often fail to capture decisive differences between systems' performance. This manuscript describes an evaluation methodology for statistically analyzing competition results and competition. The methodology is designed to be universally applicable; however, it is illustrated using eight natural language competitions as case studies involving classification and regression problems. The proposed methodology offers several advantages, including off-the-shell comparisons with correction mechanisms and the inclusion of confidence intervals. Furthermore, we introduce metrics that allow organizers to assess the difficulty of competitions. Our analysis shows the potential usefulness of our methodology for effectively evaluating competition results.

November in Greifswald stattfand, richtete sich an Studierende und Forschende gleichermaßen und hatte zum Ziel, sich mit queeren Themen in Skandinavien auseinander zu setzen. Mit einem Fokus auf aktuellen Forschungsprojekten und Diskussionen über theoretische Perspektiven und Herausforderungen war es das Ziel des Workshops, Begegnungen zu ermöglichen. Zum einen ging es um eine Begegnung von Ideen und Generationen: Eingeladen waren etablierte Wissenschaftler_innen, die seit längerem an der Integration queerer Themen in die Wissenschaft gearbeitet haben, sowie Nachwuchswissenschaftler_innen und Studierende, die ihre Erwartungen und Perspektiven einbrachten. Zum anderen ging es um räumliche Begegnungen von Forscher_innen aus Nordeuropa mit solchen, die aus deutschsprachiger Perspektive zu Nordeuropa forschen. Damit konnten die Überschneidungen von Innen- und Außenperspektiven beleuchtet werden.

description: L'objet de cette thèse est d'explorer par une étude de cas comment les médias construisent leurs messages sur le risque. Le risque relié aux changements climatiques est étudié. En utilisant le modèle de l'amplification sociale du risque comme cadre conceptuel, une analyse de contenu a été réalisée sur quatre presses écrites du Canada (L'Actualité, Maclean's, La Presse, The Globe and Mail). Un total de 393 articles ont été analysés sur une période de 1990 à 2004. Les résultats indiquent que la presse canadienne est susceptible d'avoir contribué à l'amplification sociale des changements climatiques. Six discours sur les changements climatiques sont extraits des articles. Trois éléments problèmatiques sont identifiés dans les messages médiatiques: (1) la responsabilité de gestion individuelle du risque n'est pas suffisamment soulignée, (2) les changements climatiques sont présentés comme un évènement chronique alors qu'il s'agit d'un risque à long terme, (3) les conséquences des changements climatiques sur les pays du Sud sont généralement ignorées.

description: We present the results of a four-month campaign searching for low-frequency radio transients near the North Celestial Pole with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), as part of the Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS). The data were recorded between 2011 December and 2012 April and comprised 2149 11-min snapshots, each covering 175 deg2. We have found one convincing candidate astrophysical transient, with a duration of a few minutes and a flux density at 60 MHz of 15–25 Jy. The transient does not repeat and has no obvious optical or high-energy counterpart, as a result of which its nature is unclear. The detection of this event implies a transient rate at 60 MHz o 3.9+14.7−3.7×10−4d−1 deg−2, and a transient surface density of 1.5 × 10−5 deg−2, at a 7.9-Jy limiting flux density and ∼10-min time-scale. The campaign data were also searched for transients at a range of other time-scales, from 0.5 to 297 min, which allowed us to place a range of limits on transient rates at 60 MHz as a function of observation duration.

description: Nonlinear metasurfaces have recently been established as a new platform for generating photon pairs via spontaneous parametric down-conversion. While for classical harmonic generation in metasurfaces a high level of control over all degrees of freedom of light has been reached, this capability is yet to be developed for photon pair generation. In this work, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate for the first time precise control of the emission angle of photon pairs generated from a nonlinear metasurface. Our measurements show angularly tunable pair-generation with high coincidence-to-accidental ratio for both co- and counter-propagating emission. The underlying principle is the transverse phase-matching of guided-mode resonances with strong angular dispersion in a nonlinear lithium niobate metagrating. We provide a straightforward design strategy for photon pair generation in such a device and find very good agreement between the calculations and experimental results. Here we use all-optical emission angle tuning by means of the pump wavelength, however the principle could be extended to modulation via the electro-optic effect in lithium niobate. In sum, this work provides an important addition to the toolset of sub-wavelength thickness photon pair sources.

description: The increasing need for advanced communication technologies in the 21 st century is leading to continuous development of new and more complex active devices and systems. Transistors such as BJTs, HBTs, FETs, and HEMTs are fundamental components in today's personal, corporate and global communication systems. The single- and dual-gate MESFETs are widely used devices with wide areas of RF/Microwave applications. Due to their superior performance, MESFETs have been extensively used in high frequency, high-gain, and low-noise amplifiers, oscillator, mixers, and many other applications. In this thesis, conventional and intelligent modeling methodologies are investigated for the applicability to today's computer-aided design methodologies and tools. Novel approaches of this work are applied to the area of small- and large-signal modeling of the GaAs MESFET (the single- and dual-gate.) Optimal models for the single-gate MESFET are obtained using conventional techniques. A CAD tool called, TopFinder, is developed for optimal small and large-signal model generation. The tool has been successfully tested on a commercial single-gate MESFET and HEMT transistors. Neural network modeling technique is applied to the modeling of the dual-gate MESFET. More specifically, neural network large-signal models for the dual-gate MESFET are developed. These models present the RF device performance behavior including temperature dependence. The neural network technique is successfully applied to two dual-gate MESFET devices; a discrete chip and an on-wafer chip. First, the drain current is modeled while presenting both isothermal (using pulsed measurements) and temperature dependent neural network model for the dual-gate MESFET. A comprehensive large-signal neural network model is also developed. This model includes the nonlinearity of conductances as well as those of the junction capacitances. The nonlinear dual-gate MESFET model is successfully incorporated into ADS. The model is verified by comparing the measurements of a nonlinear single-stage amplifier application based on the dual-gate MESFET to harmonic balance simulations in ADS showing satisfactory results.

description: We present the results of a closure phase analysis of 3 mm very long baseline interferometry measurements performed on Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). We have analysed observations made in 2015 May using the Very Long Baseline Array, the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope and the Large Millimeter Telescope Alfonso Serrano and obtained non-zero closure phase measurements on several station triangles – indicative of a non-point-symmetric source structure. The data are fitted with an asymmetric source structure model in Sgr A*, represented by a simple two-component model, which favours a fainter component due east of the main source. This result is discussed in light of a scattering screen with substructure or an intrinsically asymmetric source.
Design and validation of a sinonasal endoscopic score (SiNES) for chronic rhinosinusitis outcome assessment
Creators: name: Hernaiz Leonardo, Juan Carlos
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a debilitating disease that affects the sinonasal cavity and significantly reduces patients’ quality of life. Sinonasal endoscopy is the main strategy for evaluating and monitoring CRS patients. There are several endoscopic grading systems available, but they all have important shortcomings and limitations. There is an urgent need for a reliable score that can accurately reflect patient’s disease burden that is easy to use and applicable to all CRS subtypes. In chapter 1 of this thesis, I review the main endoscopic scoring systems and describe their main advantages and disadvantages. Based on these findings, Chapter 2 describes the design and validation of the SiNonasal Endoscopic Score (SiNES), a new scoring system that incorporates the strengths of previous scores while addressing their limitations. This chapter further investigates the relationship between the newly developed SiNES and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). Chapter 3 explores the minimal clinical important difference (MCID) for the SiNES. This chapter incorporates the perspectives of both surgeons and patients and produces an MCID value that can be used for clinical trial development and patient monitoring. Chapter 4 further validates the SiNES using data from the first 45 participants in the SinoNasal Microbiota Transfer (SNMT) trial, a landmark study that will determine whether SNMT can improve the health of recalcitrant CRS patients. The chapter includes data on how the SiNES correlates with objective olfactory outcomes, quality of life measures, and a diverse set of type 2 and non-type 2 cytokines. Finally, Chapter 5 consolidates the findings of the entire thesis and gives some perspectives on future research directions.

description: Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is an effective method for materials detection and identification at the macro scale, however, integration of microfluidic chips with THz spectroscopy is still needed to miniaturize this detection technology. Taking into consideration the polymer and microfabrication cost, several factors play an important role in the integration of such a technology, the optical absorption of the chip material is one of the significant factors. In this work, we study THz absorption spectra of two low-cost polymers as potential THz microfluidic chip materials, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). We then micro-fabricated two identical chips, one made by using PET and the other chip using UHMWPE to measure the absorption spectrum of Sylgard®184 silicone elastomer curing-agent (PDMS-CA) as a low-absorption test fluid.

description: Entanglement of mixed quantum states can be quantified using the partial transpose and its corresponding entanglement measure, the logarithmic negativity. Recently, the notion of partial transpose has been extended to systems of anyons, which are exotic quasiparticles whose exchange statistics go beyond the bosonic and fermionic case. Studying the fundamental properties of this anyonic partial transpose, we first reveal that when applied to the special case of fermionic systems, it can be reduced to the fermionic partial transpose or its twisted variant depending on whether or not a boundary Majorana fermion is present. Focusing on ground state properties, we find that the anyonic partial transpose captures both the correct entanglement scaling for gapless systems, as predicted by conformal field theory, and the phase transition between a topologically trivial and a nontrivial phase. For non-abelian anyons and the bipartition geometry, we find a rich multiplet structure in the eigenvalues of the partial transpose, the so-called negativity spectrum, and reveal the possibility of defining both a charge- and an imbalance-resolved negativity.

description: Rutin is a well-known antioxidant from the group of flavonoids. Its use in cosmetic dermal products is, however, limited due to its poor water solubility. In order to increase rutin saturation solubility and improve the diffusion to the skin, rutin nanocrystals were produced by the smartCrystal process, e.g., bead milling followed by high pressure homogenization. Rutin nanocrystals were further incorporated into hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) gel and its long-term stability was assessed. Determination of the antioxidant activity was made by the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay for these formulations: rutin nanocrystals (mean size 300 nm), rutin raw drug powder (mean size 33 μm) and commercial product. Furthermore, the skin penetration profile of rutin was investigated by the tape-stripping method on porcine skin. This study demonstrated that rutin nanocrystal gel had the highest neutralizing activity (90%), followed by a commercial product and rutin raw drug powder. According to the skin study, rutin nanocrystals penetrated to the deeper layers of the stratum corneum, the horny layer of the skin. View Full- Text
