description: Background: Unsafe injection practices are prevalent among injection drug users (IDU) and have resulted in numerous forms of drug-related harm including HIV/HCV transmission and other bacterial and viral infections. North America's first supervised injection facility (SIF) was established in Vancouver in order to address injection-related harms among IDU. This study sought to examine injection drug users' experiences receiving safer injecting education in the context of a SIF. Methods Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 50 individuals recruited from a cohort of SIF users known as the Scientific Evaluation of Supervised Injection (SEOSI) cohort. Audio recorded interviews elicited IDU perspectives regarding the provision of safer injecting education within the context of a SIF. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and a thematic analysis was conducted. Results Participant narratives indicate that significant gaps in knowledge regarding safer injecting practices exist among local IDU, and that these knowledge deficits result in unsafe injecting practices and negative health outcomes. However, IDU perspectives reveal that the SIF allows clients to identify and address these gaps in knowledge through a number of mechanisms that are unique to this facility, including targeted educational messaging that occurs as a part of the drug use cycle and not outside of it, in situ demonstration of safer injecting techniques that takes place the moment a client is experiencing difficulties, and enhanced opportunities to seek help from 'expert' healthcare professionals. Importantly, study participants indicated that the overall environment of the SIF promotes the adoption of safer injecting practices over time, both within and outside of the facility. Conclusion We conclude that the SIF has been particularly effective in transmitting educational messages targeting unsafe and unhygienic injection practices to a population of active IDU. Consistent with previous work, results of this study indicate that SIFs represent a unique 'micro-environment' that can facilitate the reduction of numerous drug related harms.

description: Die Autoren des Buches gehen von der Einsicht aus, dass Bildlichkeit und Vorstellungsbildung in schulischen Lernprozessen nicht nur eine instrumentelle Neben- und Übergangsrolle für die Ausbildung eines vorgeblich abstrakt-begrifflichen, naturwissenschaftlichen oder mathematischen Denkens spielen, sondern vielmehr als Ausgangspunkt, Weg und Ziel im Zentrum aller Lehr- und Lernprozesse stehen. Lehren heisst für Lehrende in allen schulischen Fächern: die Vorstellungen der Lernenden genau zu verstehen und gemeinsam mit den Lernenden an ihrer Fortentwicklung weiterzuarbeiten. Lernen heißt für alle Lernenden: sich die eigenen Vorstellungen zu verdeutlichen und sie in der Auseinandersetzung mit der Sache und mit den Lehrenden bewusst weiterzuentwickeln. Der Beitrag stellt das Konzept «Bildung der Imagination» der «Bildliteralität» gegenüber und zeigt vielfältige Parallelen auf. Das wird anhand eines empirischen Beispiels verdeutlicht.

description: The proline, ammonia and total nitrogen content of some California grapes and the praline, total free amino acids and total nitrogen of the wines have been measured. The juice contains the predominant amount of the proline (50 to 80 %) in the grape cluster ; while the skins and seeds contain in excess of 50 % of the total nitrogen. Very little proline is found in the stems. A moderate portion is in the pulp (5 to 20 %). The praline can make up from 5 to 43 % of the total nitrogen in the juice depending o n vari ety and on grape m aturity. The Cabernet family of grapes appears to have highest percentages of prnline. A large percentage of the total amino acid left in the wine is in the form of proline. The amount of proline in the wine can vary from O to about 90 % of the total nitrogen. The wines with larger amounts of total nitrogen have higher percentages of residual proline. Rootstock affects the amount of total nitrogen but does not appear to affect the ratio of proline to total nitrogen. Th e ranges found in California grape juices range from 304 to 4600 mg/l of proline and in the wines from O to 3400 mg/l of proline. The average proline value for 78 juices was calculated as 742 mg/l and for the tabul ated data of 42 wines (from mainly cool climate grapes) - one half fermented on the skins the other half not - an average value of 869 mg/l of proline was found.

description: Objective. To conduct a pilot study describing the decision making needs of family caregivers of terminally ill patients when making or supporting decisions regarding place of care at the end of life. Design. A pilot needs assessment using a semi-structured interview questionnaire. Setting. Palliative Care Unit (PCU), hospice, and a community served by a Palliative Care Consultant Team. Participants. Convenience sample of 14 family caregivers of terminally ill patients. Outcome measures. Standardized semi-structured interview guide and scales eliciting family caregivers': Perceptions of the decision (perceived options, stage and predisposition, decisional conflict, knowledge, expectations, values); perceptions of others (support, pressure, roles); personal and external resources; preferred resources; and participant and patient characteristics. Results. Home, PCU, hospice, long term care facility, and hospital were identified as decision options, with home and PCU equally considered the best. Most participants were 'very sure' about their decision, considered it easy to make, perceived the patient to be 'very sure,' felt informed of the options and their pros and cons, had adequate support and advice, felt no pressure, preferred to share decision making, and had received information and emotional support. A minority of participants (3/14) expressed more decisional conflict as did those participants in earlier stages of decision making. The resource most needed was tangible support, and individual counseling and printed information were preferred over discussion groups and Internet information. Conclusion. Family caregivers have important informational, emotional, financial, tangible, and decisional support needs. The results of this pilot study indicate that it is feasible to conduct this research with a larger, more diverse population with some revisions to the research methods. This study is a promising step in describing the decision making needs of family caregivers of terminally ill patients when making or supporting decisions regarding place of care at the end of life.

description: Background: The honey bee (Apis mellifera), besides its role in pollination and honey production, serves as a model for studying the biochemistry of development, metabolism, and immunity in a social organism. Here we use mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics to quantify nearly 800 proteins during the 5- to 6-day larval developmental stage, tracking their expression profiles. Results: We report that honey bee larval growth is marked by an age-correlated increase of protein transporters and receptors, as well as protein nutrient stores, while opposite trends in protein translation activity and turnover were observed. Levels of the immunity factors prophenoloxidase and apismin are positively correlated with development, while others surprisingly were not significantly age-regulated, suggesting a molecular explanation for why bees are susceptible to major age-associated bee bacterial infections such as American Foulbrood or fungal diseases such as chalkbrood. Previously unreported findings include the reduction of antioxidant and G proteins in aging larvae. Conclusion: These data have allowed us to integrate disparate findings in previous studies to build a model of metabolism and maturity of the immune system during larval development. This publicly accessible resource for protein expression trends will help generate new hypotheses in the increasingly important field of honey bee research.

description: Background: HOX cofactors enhance HOX binding affinities and specificities and increase HOX's unique functional activities. The expression and the regulation of HOX cofactors in human ovaries are unknown. Methods In this study, the expression of HOX cofactors, PBX1, PBX2, and MEIS1/2, were examined by using RT-PCR, immunofluorescence in cultured immortalized human granulosa (SVOG) cells. The distribution of these HOX cofactors in human ovaries was examined by immunohistochemistry. The effects of growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on PBX2 in SVOG cells were investigated by western blot analysis. Binding activities of HOXA7 and PBX2 to the specific sequences in granulosa cells were determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results and conclusion In SVOG cells, PBX1, PBX2 and MEIS1/2 were expressed during cell culture. In normal human ovaries, PBX1 and MEIS1/2 were expressed in granulosa cells at essentially all stages of follicular development. These cofactors were expressed in the nuclei of the granulosa cells from the primordial to the secondary follicles, whereas beyond multilayered follicles was observed in the cytoplasm. The co-expression of PBX1 and MEIS1/2 in granulosa cells in normal human ovaries suggested that MEIS1/2 might control PBX1 sublocalization, as seen in other systems. PBX2 was not expressed or weakly expressed in the primordial follicles. From the primary follicles to the preovulatory follicles, PBX2 expression was inconsistent and the expression was found in the granulosa cell nuclei. The PBX2 expression pattern is similar to HOXA7 expression in ovarian follicular development. Furthermore, FSH down-regulated, GDF-9 did not change PBX2 expression, but co-treatment of the granulosa cells with FSH and GDF-9 up-regulated PBX2 expression. These results implicated a role for PBX2 expression in the steroidogenic activities of granulosa cells in humans. Moreover, PBX2 and HOXA7 bound together to the Pbx sequence, but not to the EMX2 promoter sequence, in SVOG cells. Our findings indicate that HOX cofactors expression in normal human ovary is temporally and spatially specific and regulated by FSH and GDF-9 in granulosa cells. HOX proteins may use different HOX cofactors, depending on DNA sequences that are specific to the granulosa cells.

description: • An unusual, partially-fertile population of diploid Vitis vinifera x V. rotundifolia F1 hybrids is described. These hybrids are partially fertile with varieties of both parental species. • It is suggested that the success of hybridization, as measured by the fertility of the F1 hybrids, depends on the V. vinifera clone originally used as a female parent. • In meiosis of these F1 plants, average bivalent formation varies from 13.1 to 15.6 per cell at MI. There is a correlation in the diploid VR hybrids between chromosomal pairing at MI and fertility of the vines. • Some V. rotundifolia characters are dominant in diploid F1 hybrids. • In regard to crossability, the F1 hybrids are reciprocally crossable with V. vinifera varieties, but can only serve as female parents with V. rotundifolia. • Evidence from breeding tests indicates that incompatibility between V. rotundifolia x V. vinifera is not due to cytoplasmic inheritance, but is caused by nuclear factors.

 Malurus melanotus germaini Mathews, 1912a: 359 (South Australia (Port Germain)).
 Now Malurus splendens callainus Gould, 1867. See Schodde, 1982: 56–57, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 93–95, Higgins et al., 2001: 309, and Mees, 2003.
 HOLOTYPE: AMNH 602005, adult male, collected at Port Germein (5 Port Germain), 33.01S, 138.01E (USBGN, 1957b), South Australia, Australia. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2278) via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype, apparently his only specimen. This specimen came to Mathews from Edwin Ashby, but there is another field label that says ‘‘Pre. 469 by M. Murray Esq. 1899’’. This type also bears Mathews’ yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label; it served as the model for the male of Malurus melanotus in Mathews (1922e: pl. 460, lower left fig., opp. p. 61, text p. 62), although Mathews does not confirm that the bird figured is the type.
 Schodde (1982: 57) considered this form intergradient between M. s. melanotus and M. s. callainus but averaging slightly closer to M. s. callainus. The holotype has a distinct wash of purplish on the belly, back, and crown and a pectoral band of black intermediate in width. However, until the status of Gould’s type of callainus is resolved, it is not possible to further assess the status of germaini (see above).

description: Cognitive-behavior therapy is a well validated psychological treatment for anxiety disorders. However, less than 15% of people suffering from an anxiety disorder receive CBT or effective medication. One possible explanation is that patients don't have access to CBT therapists. A few studies have shown that videoconferencing can be used to increase the accessibility of validated treatment (i.e., CBT) and that CBT given via videoconferencing is as effective as CBT delivered face-to-face. However, the therapeutic alliance plays an important role in treatment efficacy, including in CBT. It is therefore important to determine if videoconferencing allows the development of a similar therapeutic alliance as observed in face-to-face CBT. The aim of this thesis is thus to compare the quality of the therapeutic alliance obtained via videoconferencing versus face-to-face CBT. Forty-five adults suffering from panic disorder with agoraphobia were SCID-diagnosed in a face-to-face assessment interview. All participants were referrals to a mental clinic in Montreal or Maniwaki (remote sites) or in Gatineau (local site). All participants received 12 individual weekly sessions of CBT. The therapeutic alliance was measured with the Working Alliance Inventory and the California Psychotherapy Alliance Scales after the first, the fifth, and 12 sessions. The efficacy measures were completed at pre- and post-treatment and included the Panic and Agoraphobia Scales and the Agoraphobic Cognitions Questionnaire. The results showed that an excellent therapeutic alliance was observed in both the videoconferencing and the face-to-face conditions and no difference were detected on the total score of the two measures of alliance used. The bond between the patient and the therapist, a subscale of one of the alliance measure, was stronger in face-to-face after the first session. However, this difference disappeared rapidly as there was no significant difference at the fifth session and at post-treatment. As for treatment outcome, significant improvement was observed for participants in both conditions. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the strength of alliance did not predict treatment outcome. The results of the study show that it is possible to develop an excellent therapeutic alliance by videoconferencing using CBT for panic disorder. At the fifth session, there were no significant differences in therapeutic alliances between the two conditions. Also, the results demonstrated that CBT delivered via videoconferencing yield similar outcomes compared to face-to-face therapy on measure of panic attacks and agoraphobic avoidance.
The effect of varying the berry number on Gordo Grape-vines with constant leaf area

description: The leaf number of potted Muscat Gordo Blanco grape-vines was fixed but berry number per plant was varied. Root and berry dry weight, as well as rate of berry growth, were unaffected by treatment, dry weight per unit length of shoot and trunk and sugar leve! in trunks somewhat reduced, and stareh leve! in trunks most severely affected. These results are in contrast with those of an earlier experiment in which H was observed that a progressive reduction in retained leaf number affected root dry weíght most severely, followed by berry development, stareh and sugar levels of shoots and finally dry weight per unit length of shoots. Thus the effect of reducing leaf area (source size) was not the same as increasing crop load (sink size).

description: Gel column analysis of pigment extracts has been automated, and the distribution of total coloured constituents in terms of tannin pigments, acylated anthocyanins and anthocyanins can now be measured routinely, enabling rapid evaluation of materials. Quantitative determinations of polymeric and monomeric pigments in grape extracts and in young wines have been made from the pigment elution curves. Wine grape varieties from the same viticultural area were found to have characteristieally different elution curves. Evidence Ls presented for one variety that some degree of selective extraction of pigments occurs during normal fermentation on skins, the anthocyanins being more efficently extracted than other fractions - thus the composition of pigments in the new wine differs from that in the grape. Other young varietal wines are also qualitatively different from one another in pigment compositions, which generally resemble those of the grape varieties. Regional differences between grapes and wines oi one variety have been demonstrated, which relate to colour extraction and to the ageing characteristics of the wines from these regions. The gross changes in pigment distribution which occur during ageing of red wines, with progressive loss of monomeric pigments and increase in the relative proportions of tannin pigments are described. The latter fraction is seen to be of primary importance to red wine technology. The elution curves obtained are regarded as pigment profiles of the grapes or wines, and the utility of this concept in viticultural and oenological research is demonstrated.

Profiling estrogen-regulated gene expression change in neuroendocrine and reproductive systems
Creators: name: Zhang, Dapeng

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Biology, Genetics.
subject: Biology, Endocrinology.

description: Neuroendocrine and reproductive systems are strictly regulated by a series of sex hormones, especially 17-beta estradiol (E2). Through specific membrane or nuclear receptors, E2 initiates a series of diverse signaling pathways that regulates the expression of target genes. This transcriptomic output shapes the specific spatial (cell or tissue level) and temporal (seasonal level) E2 actions. In this study, I attempted to define estrogen-related gene expression changes in the neuroendocrine and reproductive systems. Firstly, I targeted the physiological period of E2 action when gonad size is large just prior to spawning (March and April) in the goldfish ( Carassius auratus) model. The effect of the aromatase inhibitor fadrozole and the resultant decline in E2 on neuroendocrine gene expression and reproductive development was determined using microarray analysis. Several regulatory themes for physiological E2 action in fish brain have been revealed from these novel E2 regulated genes, including regulation of the calcium signaling pathway and auto-regulation of nuclear estrogen receptor action. Secondly, I aimed to define the seasonal gene expression characteristics that are associated with hormone profiles, typically E2 blood level change, during a breeding cycle in the goldfish. By using both theoretical and experimental strategies, I have identified a core set of genes in fish neuroendocrine brain that were differentially expressed between physiologically distinct stages including sexually mature prespawning, sexual regression, and early gonadal re-development. Moreover I demonstrated that gene expression changes between stages can be regulated by photoperiod. Thirdly, to further understand the mechanism underlying fadrozole effects on gonadal development, I used a frog model (Xenopus tropicalis) to show that a germline specific piRNA (piwi-interacting RNA) pathway may be involved in the E2/testosterone regulation of gonadal development in the tadpole. Here, I investigated the effect of fadrozole or finasteride (5 alpha-reductase inhibitor), which are known to influence gonadal development, on the gene expression of a piRNA-specific protein Maelstrom (MAEL) and showed both treatments increased MAEL mRNA expression. Moreover, since the specific function of MAEL is unknown, I conducted a bioinformatics analysis to infer its putative function and evolutionary history. This is one case study for our efforts to annotate some functionally unknown genes which are related to or regulated by E2 actions. In conclusion, the physiological stage or seasonal specific gene expression information defined in this study provides a series of new functional insights into regulatory mechanisms of E2 and related hormones in the vertebrate neuroendocrine and reproductive systems.

description: Home health services are often provided to people who are frail and may be reaching the end of their lives. Their purpose is to help people remain in their own homes as long as possible. These services are part of a continuum of health care that ranges from ambulatory to inpatient acute care. This report focuses on services reflected in data that are routinely provided by Health Authorities to the BC Ministry of Health Services. The Ministry does not track the full range of health care services used by seniors dwelling in the community. Health authorities provide some services that they do not report, such as case management. Community-based agencies do not report to the Ministry on the support services they provide. Some jurisdictions refer to home health services simply as home care. Whatever they are called, they include nursing care, rehabilitation services such as physical and occupational therapy, home support services such as help with bathing and meal preparation, and supports such as adult day programs. All have been used to varying degrees at different times in BC, and their wide range makes assessing their effect on people extremely complex. Nevertheless, it is important to address this complexity as the number of elderly people in BC is increasing, family dynamics continue to change, and policies continue to evolve throughout the health care system. Achieving the goal of a truly integrated continuum of care depends on having a thorough understanding of how home health services fit into health care overall.

description: In early 2020, the EOSC Community took another crucial step on the road to the development and implementation of the European Open Science Cloud, as seven key EOSC-related Horizon 2020 projects signed a Collaboration Agreement in support of the EOSC Governance. The Agreement involves all the projects supported within the INFRAEOSC-05-2018-2019 call. The Agreement provides a useful framework for all parties to collaborate on a wide range of topics, in order to enhance synergies in all mutual activities related to the EOSC. The projects also agreed on a Joint Activity Plan, which will guide them towards the first iteration of EOSC. Overlaps and complementarities among projects were identified, as well as specific areas for potential cooperation, ultimately aimed at the development of a common strategy to synchronise activities with the EOSC Working Groups. Between April and May 2020, EOSCsecretariat.eu collected the position papers on EOSC compiled by the INFRAEOSC 5b projects, the subgroup that specifically includes the four regional projects covering all corners of Europe, as well as the thematic project ExPaNDS. We would like to thank the five Horizon 2020 projects which have contributed to the making of this compilation of EOSC position papers: EOSC-Nordic (GA No. 857652), EOSC-Pillar (GA No. 857650), EOSC-synergy (GA No. 857647), ExPaNDS (GA No. 857641), and NI4OS-Europe (GA No. 857645).

description: Blurb from Article: Participants implement their leadership development plans and work to achieve their goals as SACNAS Chapter Leaders. Coaching will help students develop and maintain a crystal clear vision, identify and address limiting beliefs, and create strategies to overcome obstacles.Purpose of Article: This article was written as the second annual SACNAS Chapter Leadership Institute (CLI) was about to start accepting applications, to highlight students from the first year and their accomplishments as SACNAS Chapter Leaders, and to thank and update our Sponsors. The first year was a pilot that took place in the Bay Area in California, mainly student participants from the area. The article focuses on the second year goals: to expand it nationally, including Puerto Rico and Guam, and that a STEM equity and coaching intructor will be part of the curriculum. The CLI was a 3-day training program.Purpose of the SACNAS Chapter Leadership Institute: At the time, as a SACNAS Board member, my goal was to advocate for students at SACNAS. SACNAS had Leadership programs for postdoctoral scholars to professionals. I pitched the idea to also have Leadership Institutes for students through its SACNAS chapters, in order to start Leadership Training earlier, rather then later in their academic career. I held feedback sessions with SACNAS Chapter members to get their input into what a SACNAS Chapter Leadership Institute could look like. These ideas were used to write the grants for the Genentech Foundation, and the Chapter Leadership Institute was formed.Current Program: There is a new program hosted at the conference for one day, now called COLOR - Chapter Officer Leadership October Retreat.

Team feel: An exploration of a group resonance-based intervention and relationships
Creators: name: Wolfe, Barat Jade
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Recreation.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore and document the process through which a team of athletes and coaches felt and attempted to learn and apply resonance in a group context throughout a season. Resonance is a process that allows people to identify how they want to feel, prepare to experience that desired 'feel,' recognize obstacles that prevent them from feeling the way they want, and reconnecting when they are disengaged (Newburg, 2006; Newburg et al., 2002). Sixteen synchronized swimmers, one head coach, and one assistant coach participated in a group resonance based intervention over the span of a four month competitive season. The results, which are presented as two narratives, suggest that a group resonance process is possible. However, participants must be prepared to take ownership of this process and engage in challenging, deliberate work to incorporate their individual desired feel and the desired feel of others in the everyday experiences of a competitive team. This story also indicates that unresolved conflict can be detrimental to (a) relationships between athletes and coach, (b) performance, and (c) how people want to feel in the context of their sport.
Treatment of elevated blood pressure in the very elderly : Less is better
Creators: name: Therapeutics Initiative (University Of British Columbia)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Therapeutics Letter 71 focusses on the best available evidence about drug treatment of elevated blood pressure in individuals over 79 years of age. Conclusions: For patients ≥80 years: Various antihypertensive therapies for primary prevention in relatively healthy patients with systolic BP >160 mmHg reduced stroke, but had no proven effect on mortality. Using low-dose thiazide as first-line therapy followed by a low-medium dose ACE inhibitor reduced mortality as well as serious adverse events in one large RCT. With this regimen a blood pressure of <150/80 mmHg can be expected in about 50% of patients.

Parameterless broadcasting in static to highly mobile wireless ad hoc, sensor and actuator networks
Creators: name: Khan, Adnan Afsar
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: In a broadcasting task, source node wants to send the same message to all the other nodes in the network. Existing solutions range from connected dominating set (CDS) based for static networks, to blind flooding for moderate mobility within connected network, to hyperflooding for highly mobile and frequently partitioned networks. The only existing protocol for all scenarios is based on some threshold parameters to locally select between these three solution approaches. Here we propose a different protocol, which adjusts itself to any mobility scenario without using any parameter. Unlike existing methods for highly mobile scenarios, in proposed method, two nodes do not transmit every time they discover each other as new neighbors. Each node maintains a list of two hop neighbors by periodically exchanging 'hello' messages, and decides whether or not it is in CDS. Upon receipt of the first copy of message intended for broadcasting, it selects a waiting timeout and constructs two lists of neighbors: neighbors that received the same message and neighbors that did not receive it. Nodes not in CDS select longer timeouts than nodes in CDS. These lists are updated upon receipt of further copies of same packet. When timeout expires, node retransmits if the list of neighbors in need of message is non-empty. 'Hello' messages received while waiting, or after timeout expiration may revise all lists (and CDS status) and consequently the need to retransmit. This provides a seamless transition of protocol behavior from static to highly mobile scenarios. Our protocol is compared to existing solutions for all scenarios. It was shown to be superior to all of them in number of retransmissions and reliability.

description: In indoor air the reaction of ozone (O3) with terpenes may lead to the formation of irritating gas-phase products which may induce acute airway effects (i.e. sudden, short-term changes or symptoms related to the respiratory system). We aimed to perform an in vitro study on possible health effects of products from the O3-initiated reaction of limonene with printer exhaust, representing real-life mixtures in offices. Human bronchial epithelial cells were exposed for 1 hour (h) to limonene and O3, combined with printer exhaust. The resulting concentrations represented 34% and 6% of the generated initial concentrations of limonene (400 µg/m³) and O3 (417 µg/cm³), respectively, which were in range of high end realistic indoor concentrations. We observed that the reaction of limonene with O3 generated an increase of ultrafine particles within 1 h, with a significant increase of secondary reaction products 4-oxopentanal and 3-isopropenyl-6-oxo-heptanal at high end indoor air levels. Simultaneous printing activity caused the additional release of micron-sized particles and a further increase in reaction products. Relevant cellular endpoints to evaluate the possible induction of acute airway effects were measured. However, none of the test atmospheres representing office air was observed to induce these effects.
