description: Context The discovery and subsequent ultrastructural characterization of the interstitial Cajal like cells (now called telocytes) in virtually every anatomic sites of the human body, by Laurentiu M Popescu and co-workers, have dramatically improved the understanding the function of these cells and pathogenesis of extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGIST). Pancreatic extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (pEGIST), phenotypically similar to pancreatic interstitial Cajal like cells, are extremely rare with an unpredictable biological behavior. Objective To review the clinicopathological, radiological, immunohistochemical, and therapeutic outcome data of all reported cases of pEGIST, and highlight the developments in the field of pancreatic interstitial Cajal like cells/telocytes. Methods A systematic review of English literature (January 2000 to July 2012) was done by using the search engine of PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, and the Directory of Open Access Journals. Results There have been 19 reported cases of pEGIST during the last decade, over an age range of 31 to 84 years (mean: 56 years) with equal gender predilection ((male:female ratio: 9:10). Preoperative radiological characteristics have been mostly nondiagnostic though these were used, in some, for tissue diagnosis. Majority of pEGIST were localized to pancreatic head (8/19, 42.1%), and 15 of 19 patients (78.9%) were symptomatic at first presentation. The mean size ranged from 2.5 to 35cm (mean: 14 cm). Histomorphological features were that of predominantly spindle cell tumor which consistently expressed c-KIT/CD117 and CD34 by immunohistochemistry, making these two as the most sensitive markers at this site. Results from studies involving discovery on gastrointestinal stromal tumor 1 (DOG-1), the most specific biomarker of GIST/EGIST, has been inconclusive and this was found to be positive in one case only. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with imatinib mesylate and sunitinib were used in few cases, and genetic analysis of c-KIT proto-oncogene was done in two. By univariate analysis, none of the clinicopathological parameters, except surgical resection with microscopic free margin (R0 resection) (P<0.05), were found to be an important indicators of outcome. Conclusion The biological behavior of pEGIST, at present, seems unpredictable which requires indefinite period of follow-up. Large number of such cases with genetic analysis supplemented with immunohistochemistry studies will hopefully throw more light in these tumors.

description: We present a microlensing analysis of 61 Chandra observations of 14 quadruply lensed quasars. X-ray flux measurements of the individual quasar images give a clean determination of the microlensing effects in the lensing galaxy and thus offer a direct assessment of the local fraction of stellar matter making up the total integrated mass along the lines of sight through the lensing galaxy. A Bayesian analysis of the ensemble of lensing galaxies gives a most likely local stellar fraction of 7%, with the other 93% in a smooth, dark matter component, at an average impact parameter R_c of 6.6 kpc from the center of the lensing galaxy. We divide the systems into smaller ensembles based on R_c and find that the most likely local stellar fraction varies qualitatively and quantitatively as expected, decreasing as a function of R_c.

Ketosis Suppression and Ageing (KetoSAge): Suppression of ketosis negatively affects multiple biomarkers associated with chronic diseases and ageing
Creators: name: Cooper, Isabella
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2025

description: Metabolic dysfunctions are among the best documented hallmarks of ageing. Ageing is typically understood in its chronological context, as the length of time that has passed since a person’s birth, whereas biological age is the measure of functional age, often measured in terms of physical and mental performance, as well as morbidities that decrease quality of life and youth-span. Cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatosis liver disease, and fragility fractures are diseases of hyperinsulinaemia that reduce life and healthspan. Hyperinsulinaemia pathologies present with increases in loss of function at all levels, from: the cellular, tissue, organ and ultimately systemic. Sustained ketosis with euglycaemia is a measurable metabolic phenotype to indicate absence of hyperinsulinaemia. This thesis investigates the metabolic phenotype of long-term sustained ketosis (euketonaemia) in healthy females with no prior metabolic diseases. Assessing their baseline biochemical profile (metabolic phenotype) and changes in biomarkers associated with ageing and age associated diseases after suppressing ketosis (SuK) for 21 days, followed by a further investigation after removing the intervention of suppressing ketosis, with the participants reverting back to their habitual lifestyle of being in a state of ketosis for 21 days, to further ascertain if the changes seen after the ketosis suppression phase, were likely due to the intervention. Over 50 biomarkers were tested, suppression of ketosis was found to negatively affect a host of markers most strongly associated with ageing and declining metabolic health. Strategies that can prevent and/or reduce hyperinsulinaemia may therefore improve cellular and vascular health, leading to decreased risk of developing chronic diseases that reduce quality of life, healthspan and lifespan.

An Evaluation Framework for Automated Audio Description
Creators: name: Pacurar, Cristian
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2025

description: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD, 2006) stipulates that all individuals have the right to access information and communicate through means of their choice. This underscores the fundamental right to be informed and access information. However, information is not always accessible for people with disabilities, particularly those with visual impairments. With recent advancements in AI models, such as GPT-4 with Vision by OpenAI and the Pegasus-1 model by Twelvelabs, the automation of the audio description process is becoming increasingly feasible.

The initial goal of this research was to create an automated system capable of generating audio description tracks automatically, thereby increasing accessibility for blind or partially sighted persons. The premise of the research was that the human audio description process could be split into smaller steps, each of which could be automated and then chained together.

Currently, there is no established framework for assessing the efficacy of algorithms in automating the audio description process. Although various algorithms can replace human audio describers in certain steps, there are no key performance indicators (KPIs) for analysis and comparison. Furthermore, there is no standardised method for evaluating and comparing multiple algorithms performing specific audio description tasks, which hinders objective decision-making.

To address this gap, the initial step involved analysing the stages of the human audio description process and breaking them down into self-contained actions suitable for automation. This led to the conceptualisation of an automated audio description system designed to replicate the entire human process.

To demonstrate the practicality of the evaluation framework, a partially automated system was developed, focusing on automating the creation of the audio description script. This system serves as a proof of concept for the usability and effectiveness of the proposed framework. Nevertheless, due to the absence of globally accepted guidelines, multiple guidelines were compared and synthesised to create a unified set of KPIs which could then be used in the evaluation framework.

description: We introduce a new set of one dimensional quantum lattice models which we refer to as The quantum torus chain. These models have discrete global symmetry, and projective on-site representations. They possess an integer-valued parameter which controls the presence or absence of frustration. Depending on whether this parameter is even or odd these models either exhibit gapped symmetry breaking phases with isolated critical points, or gapped symmetry breaking phases separated by gapless phases. We discuss the property of these phases and phase transitions for two special values of the parameter and point out many open problems

Transcriptional regulation of the XIST locus
Creators: name: Chapman, Andrew Glen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: X-chromosome inactivation is a mechanism that has evolved in mammalian females allowing dosage compensation of X-linked genes. A region of the X chromosome called the Xinactivation centre (XIC) is required for X inactivation to occur. Within this region is a long noncoding RNA, XIST/Xist, which is upregulated on the future inactive X and initiates silencing. A major questions in the field of X inactivation is how XIST/Xist is regulated, becoming expressed on the inactive X and silenced on the active X. Much of what we currently know about XIST/Xist regulation comes from studies using mice, however, differences in conservation of the XIC and expression patterns of the major mouse Xist regulator, Tsix, indicate that humans and mice may regulate XIST/Xist differently. The objective of this thesis was to identify regulatory elements that are important for regulation of XIST in humans. Since regulatory elements controlling XIST are believed to reside within the XIC, we searched the XIC and identified two inactive X specific regulatory elements within the 5’ end of XIST using DNase I hypersensitivity mapping. We found one of the hypersensitive sites to be acting as an alternative P2 promoter for XIST which contains an upstream antisense promoter, P2as. The second hypersensitive site was associated with alternative splicing and inclusion of two novel exons for XIST. Interestingly, both P2 and the novel alternative splicing result in transcripts that lack functional domains of XIST. An additional candidate regulator is the region 3’ of XIST due to the importance of Tsix in mice. We found that transcription 3’ of XIST in somatic cells is low level sense transcription so we believe this to be leaky XIST rather than TSIX. In human embryonic stem cells we found an antisense transcript that extends the full length of XIST providing the first evidence for mouse-like TSIX in humans but very low-levels of this transcript argue against regulatory ability. Taken together, our results highlight the differences between mouse and human X inactivation and indicate that XIST transcription is more complex than previously thought, generating XIST molecules that lack functional domains.
Fully Bayesian inference techniques for traffic safety treatment before-and-after study
Creators: name: Li, Simon Chun-Yin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The importance of improving traffic safety is often understated, partially because it often takes a retrospective approach, garnering little public attention. Nonetheless, from both an economical and societal point of view, traffic safety presents severe and significant problems despite the sizeable benefits that advancements in transportation have brought to society. To further complicate the matter, the net results of most traffic safety interventions are not always straightforward or intuitive. This illustrates the need for sound engineering evaluation of traffic safety interventions that is grounded in statistical analysis. It should be noted that these engineering evaluations can be applied not only to location-specific safety treatments, but can also be used to test the effectiveness of traffic safety-targeted policies such as changes in BAC level or seat belt laws. Previously, a prominent and effective methodology for conducting traffic safety intervention evaluations was known as the Empirical Bayes inference techniques. It was effective in accounting for a number of confounding factors, which threaten the validity of any claims made by simply looking at raw collision data. However, several key drawbacks have been identified, including difficulties to obtain the necessary amount of input data and the statistical discontinuity in the steps where the uncertainties around the input data are not entirely carried through to the final estimates. In theory, the recently-developed Full Bayes technique fully addresses the weaknesses of the Empirical Bayes method; however, there have been hesitations to adopt the methodology because of the increased level of complexity and the previous lack of adequate computational power. The purpose of this thesis to perform a thorough literature on methodologies for conducting traffic safety intervention models particularly with regards to Bayesian inference, devise a standardized methodology using the findings, apply the methodology on a real-world case study in Edmonton, Alberta, and summarize the results to demonstrate the strengths and the feasibility of the Full Bayes methodology. The results indicated that the treatment program was effective in reducing right-turn collisions by 39%. A standardized practical guideline was also developed using the literature review and the results and includes various provisions for flexibility and alterations.

description: Gapless spectrum of graphene allows easy spatial separation of electrons and holes with an external in-plane electric field. Guided collective plasmon modes can propagate along the separation line, whose amplitude decays with the distance to it. Their spectrum and direction of propagation can be controlled with the strength and direction of in-plane electric field. In case of a bilayer graphene additional control is possible by the perpendicular electric field that opens a gap in the band spectrum of electrons. We investigate guided plasmon spectra in bilayer p-n junctions using hydrodynamics of charged electron liquid.

By using a degeneration based on the Vinberg monoid we give, in good cases, a global quotient description of a surgery construction introduced by Woodward and Meinrenken, and show it can be interpreted in algebro-geometric terms. A key ingredient is the `universal cut' of the cotangent bundle of the group itself, which is identified with a moduli space of framed bundles on chains of projective lines recently introduced by the authors.

description: The quark gluon plasma (QGP) at zero temperature and high baryon number is a system that may be present inside compact stars. It is quite possible that this cold QGP shares some relevant features with the hot QGP observed in heavy ion collisions, being also a strongly interacting system. In a previous work we have derived from the QCD Lagrangian an equation of state (EOS) for the cold QGP, which can be considered an improved version of the MIT bag model EOS. Compared to the latter, our equation of state reaches higher values of the pressure at comparable baryon densities. This feature is due to perturbative corrections and also to non-perturbative effects. Here we apply this EOS to the study of neutron stars, discussing the absolute stability of quark matter and computing the mass-radius relation for self-bound (strange) stars. The maximum masses of the sequences exceed two solar masses, in agreement with the recently measured values of the mass of the pulsar PSR J1614-2230, and the corresponding radii around 10-11 km.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εστιάζει στην μελέτη των ευέλικτων στρατηγικών με την χρήση των ψηφιακών συστημάτων και εργαλείων στον κλάδο της εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας (Logistics/Supply chain). Η εφοδιαστική αλυσίδα είναι ένας κλάδος που από την αρχαιότητα έπαιζε σπουδαίο ρόλο, καθώς η δραστηριότητα της στοχεύει στην κάλυψη των αναγκών της κοινωνίας. Στο κυνήγι για την κάλυψη αυτών των αναγκών, οι επιχειρήσεις πρέπει να υιοθετήσουν την κατάλληλη στρατηγική ώστε να είναι ανταγωνιστικές. Πέρα από την έννοια της στρατηγικής που θα αναλυθεί, θα παρουσιαστεί και η δυνατότητα που έχουν οι επιχειρήσεις να προσαρμόζονται, άρα και να αλλάζουν τις στρατηγικές τακτικές τους με την μεθοδολογία του Agile (ευελιξία). Ευελιξία όμως χωρίς ταχύτητα δεν υπάρχει. Η ταχύτητα επιτυγχάνεται με την χρήση των ψηφιακών συστημάτων και εργαλείων και την διάδοση τους μέσα στον οργανισμό, τόσο για την εκτέλεση των καθημερινών λειτουργιών όσο και για την ανάλυση και εξαγωγή χρήσιμων συμπερασμάτων από τον μεγάλο όγκο πληροφοριών που είναι διαθέσιμα. Θα γίνει αναφορά στις βέλτιστες πρακτικές καθώς και τις τάσεις που υπάρχουν στα διαθέσιμα εργαλεία καθώς και στον ψηφιακό μετασχηματισμό του κλάδου της εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας. Τέλος, θα γίνει αναφορά μελέτης περίπτωσης ,με την μέθοδο της παρατήρησης στον υλοποιούμενο ψηφιακό μετασχηματισμό μεγάλης εταιρείας στον κλάδο της παροχής υπηρεσιών εφοδιαστικής για τρίτους (3rd Party Logistics), όπου αναλύονται τα οφέλη, οι νέες δυνατότητες, η ικανότητες να ανταποκριθεί στους στρατηγικούς στόχους που έχει θέσει αλλά και οι τυχόν προκλήσεις που θα αντιμετωπίσει στο μέλλον από την χρήση των ψηφιακών εργαλείων. Συνοψίζοντας, σε κάθε αλλαγή είναι αναγκαία η υιοθέτηση μιας κουλτούρας ευελιξίας και προσαρμογής στις νέες συνθήκες και ανάγκες, έχοντας όμως πάντα στο επίκεντρο της το πιο πολύτιμο αγαθό : Τον άνθρωπο.

Όλος ο κλάδος marketing, τα εμπορικά τμήματα των διαφημιζόμενων πελατών και συλλήβδην ο κλάδος των μέσων, υποχρεούνται να «προσαρμόσουν» το δημιουργικό σκέλος και την προωθητική ιδέα κάθε επικοινωνίας, σε κανόνες που ενδεχομένως θεωρούν ανεπίκαιρους, ανεδαφικούς ή και ορισμένες φορές αντίθετους με τους κανόνες ελεύθερου ανταγωνισμού, δεδομένης της παράλληλης λειτουργίας του περισσότερο «ελεύθερου» διαδικτύου, για το οποίο οι περιορισμοί είναι λιγότερο αυστηροί και οι μηχανισμοί ελέγχου δεν έχουν τα ίδια αντανακλαστικά. Εάν άραγε το τοπίο ήταν αχαρτογράφητο, μήπως η κατάσταση θα ήταν άναρχη και θα βομβαρδιζόμασταν από δυνητικά βλαπτικές διαφημίσεις όπως λ.χ. τσιγάρων, αλκοολούχων ποτών ή και παράνομων στοιχηματικών εταιρειών; Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι αφενός η συστηματική καταγραφή του νομοθετικού και κανονιστικού πλαισίου στην χώρα μας, όσον αφορά στον τομέα της διαφήμισης και εν γένει της επικοινωνίας στα παραδοσιακά Μ.Μ.Ε. και αφετέρου ο βαθμός επιρροής των περιορισμών που εισάγονται από το νομοθετικό και κανονιστικό πλαίσιο και, στην εμπορική πολιτική των εταιρειών που λειτουργούν και διαχειρίζονται ραδιοτηλεοπτικά και έντυπα μέσα μαζικής ενημέρωσης.

Forest residues as a potential feedstock for a biorefinery : material balance and pretreatment strategies
Creators: name: Burkhardt, Sabrina Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Forest residues represent an abundant and potentially sustainable source of biomass which could be used as a feedstock for a biomass-to-chemicals-and-fuels process (biorefinery). However, due to the heterogeneity of forest residues, one of the expected challenges will be to obtain an accurate material balance of both the starting and pretreated material. As current compositional analysis methods have been developed to quantify more homogenous feedstocks such as whitewood and agricultural crops, it is likely that they will have difficulty in providing a complete material balance for these more diverse substrates. The research work initially assessed the robustness of established methods to quantify a variety of forest residues (bark, hog fuel, forest thinnings, logging residue, disturbance wood) before and after steam pretreatment. It was anticipated that the diverse chemistry and heterogeneity of forest residues would make it difficult to obtain an accurate material balance. Although the NREL recommended methods provided a reasonable estimate of carbohydrate components of the various feedstocks, method revision was necessary to accurately quantify the non-carbohydrate components and thus obtain an acceptable summative mass closure. This was particularly evident for high-extractive containing residues such as bark. After steam pretreatment, the incomplete removal of extractives from the pretreated material proved to be more problematic. The refined material balance methods were subsequently used to evaluate the potential of using pretreated forest residues as a biorefinery feedstock. Acid catalysed steam pretreatment was not as effective on forest residues and poor sugar yields were obtained despite using high enzyme loadings. It was likely that, in the acidic medium resulting from SO₂ catalysed steam pretreatment, the extractives reacted with the lignin and consequently restricted enzyme accessibility to the cellulose. In contrast, an alkaline pretreatment effectively removed most of the extractives and lignin from cellulosic components of the bark. The resulting cellulose-rich, water insoluble component could be almost completely hydrolyzed. It was apparent that established analytical methods will have to be modified to obtain a representative material balance of both the starting and pretreated material and that, even with “tailoring” pretreatment/fractionation strategies, forest residues will prove to be challenging feedstocks for any potential bioconversion process.

description: We report results of 75As nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) experiments as well as 7Li NMR on different samples of self flux grown LiFeAs and 5 % Co doped LiFeAs single crystals, and a polycrystalline LiFeAs sample. We were able to distinguish the samples by their slightly different quadrupole frequencies, $ν_Q$, which is a direct measure of the electric field gradient (EFG) at the As site. Interestingly, samples with a large quadrupole frequency appear to show a different Knight shift and spin lattice relaxation in the superconducting state from those with a lower $ν_Q$, yet all the samples are clearly superconducting. For sample S1 which has the largest $ν_Q$, we find constant Knight shift K across Tc for a certain direction of the magnetic field and a peculiar upturn of the NQR spin lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 below Tc. In contrast, samples with a lower $ν_Q$ exhibit the expected behavior for a singlet superconductor: a drop of K and 1/T1 for both NMR and NQR below Tc. Our results show that already tiny changes in stoichiometry uncovered by slightly different NQR frequencies lead to very different behavior of the NMR parameters in the superconducting state of LiFeAs. Different possibilities will be discussed which may explain the contrasting behavior.
