Literacy in the locale: content creation in Indonesia
Creators: name: Baulch, Emma
name: Watkins, Jerry
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This chapter discusses experiences from the Finding a Voice project with respect to participatory content creation initiatives in Indonesia. It shows how the training program implemented in Phase 1 of the project was adapted by our partners and applied to three telecentres across Indonesia. It concludes with points of learning derived from how these adaptations were applied and received. These points are organised according to two principles, which emerged from research by fieldworkers, community participants and program trainers: an understanding of literacy in the locale is necessary to appreciate the cultural ramifications of content creation activities within a given community, and design programs accordingly; and sustainable strategies for participatory content creation activities require careful consideration of both the production and distribution of local content.

The metabolism of phenylalanine.
Creators: name: Dolan, Gail.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1966
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: The metabolism of phenylalanine-C14 was studied in three different groups of rats: normal animals, phenylalanine-deficient animals and rats which had been maintained on a high (5 and 7%) phenylalanine diet from 21 days of age and considered to be "experimentally phenylketonuric". In normal rats the injection of DL-phenylalanine-1-C14 resulted in the excretion of more radioactivity in the CO2 and urine than did the injection of DL-phenylalanine-3-C14. However, the radioactivity in the proteins was higher after the injection of DL-phenylalanine-3-C 14. Para-fluorophenylalanine-3-C14, an analogue of phenylalanine, produced higher levels of radioactivity in the CO2 and urine than did DL-phenylalanine-3-C14. This analogue was incorporated into the proteins in significant quantities and was also rapidly transformed into tyrosine-C14. The tyrosine-C14 was then incorporated into the proteins. A second phenylalanine analogue, beta-2-thienylalanine-3-C14 produced only trace quantities of radioactive C14O2 but highly radioactive urine. In all of the organs, except the pancreas, this analogue was only incorporated into the proteins in trace amounts. After the addition of either non-radioactive parafluorophenylalanine or beta-2-thienylalanine to the injected phenylalanine-C14, there was, in general, an increase in the ratio of tyrosine-C14/phenylalanine-C 14 incorporated into protein. More radioactive CO2 and urine were produced, and the radioactivity of the protein was decreased. Both of these effects were most pronounced when a third analogue, 2-amino-3-phenylbutanoic acid, was used. This compound was also incorporated into the proteins. After treatment with a low-phenylalanine diet the radioactive CO 2 and urine produced when phenylalanine-3-C14 was injected indicated that there was a general reduction in the rate of phenylalanine metabolism. The level of incorporation of radioactivity in the proteins of the phenylalanine-deficient rats varied little from normal values. More phenylalanine than tyrosine was incorporated into protein. When attempts were made to induce an experimental phenylketonuria it was found that if the rats were placed on the high phenylalanine diet too early, the phenylalanine was toxic. Injection of phenylalanine-C14 into phenylketonuric rats resulted in an increase in the release of the radioactivity in the CO2 and urine and a decrease in the radioactivity of the proteins compared to the results obtained in normal rats. The ratio of tyrosine-C14/phenylalanine-C14 incorporated into proteins in these phenylketonuric rats was also lower. DL-tryptophan-3-C14 was also injected into phenylketonuric rats. The only difference from the values obtained for normal rats was a slight elevation of the radioactive content of the urine in the phenylketonuric rats.

Detection and attribution of regional CO2 concentration anomalies using surface observations

Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Kohlendioxid

description: In this study, observed episodes of CO2 concentrations at eight Northern Hemisphere (NH) sites from 1993 to 2012 were analyzed. Five-day back trajectories were calculated for a potential source contribution function (PSCF) analysis. A normalized weight factor related to the occurrence of the episodes was applied to derive more reasonable CO2 elevations and sequestrations. Weighted elevated (?CO2(W_E)) and sequestered (?CO2(W_S)) CO2 episodes had large spatial discrepancies due to the differentiation of strength and patterns of CO2 emissions/sinks in different regions. The most significant enhancement in CO2 episodes was observed at Asian sites: ?CO2(W_E) increased by approximately 56% at an annual rate of ~4% yr-1 from 1995 to 2010 at Waliguan (WLG) and by approximately 39% (~3% yr-1) from 1997 to 2012 at Yonagunijima (YON). According to the PSCF analysis, these increases are largely attributed to the rapid increase in emissions in China. However, ?CO2(W_S) was also enhanced by 34.4% with a growth rate of 2.3% yr-1 at WLG from 1995 to 2010 and ~26.2% (1.7% yr-1) at YON from 1997 to 2012. Both ?CO2(W_E) and ?CO2(W_S) showed decreasing or relatively flat trends at Monte Cimone and Schauinsland, indicating reductions in emissions and sinks in central Europe. The different intensities/trends in emissions and sinks observed at different sites in the NH show that estimating future CO2 levels is a complex problem. Atmospheric inverse and process-based ecosystem models should use more regional input data at high temporal and spatial resolutions for future carbon flux estimations.

description: High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are known to have vasoprotective functions in peripheral arteries and many of these functions extend to brain-derived endothelial cells. Importantly, several novel brain-relevant HDL functions have been discovered using brain endothelial cells and in 3D bioengineered human arteries. The cerebrovascular benefits of HDL in healthy humans may partly explain epidemiological evidence suggesting a protective association of circulating HDL levels against Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) risk. As several methods exist to prepare HDL from plasma, here we compared cerebrovascular functions relevant to AD using HDL isolated by density gradient ultracentrifugation relative to apoB-depleted plasma prepared by polyethylene-glycol precipitation, a common high-throughput method to evaluate HDL cholesterol efflux capacity in clinical biospecimens. We found that apoB-depleted plasma was functionally equivalent to HDL isolated by ultracentrifugation in terms of its ability to reduce vascular Aβ accumulation, suppress TNFα-induced vascular inflammation and delay Aβ fibrillization. However, only HDL isolated by ultracentrifugation was able to suppress Aβ-induced vascular inflammation, improve Aβ clearance, and induce endothelial nitric oxide production.

description: Introduction: The International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) Ad Hoc Committee for the Definition of Premature Ejaculation developed the first evidence-based definition for lifelong premature ejaculation (PE) in 2007 and concluded that there were insufficient published objective data at that time to develop a definition for acquired PE. Aim: The aim of this article is to review and critique the current literature and develop a contemporary, evidence-based definition for acquired PE and/or a unified definition for both lifelong and acquired PE. Methods: In April 2013, the ISSM convened a second Ad Hoc Committee for the Definition of Premature Ejaculation in Bangalore, India. The same evidence-based systematic approach to literature search, retrieval, and evaluation used by the original committee was adopted. Results: The committee unanimously agreed that men with lifelong and acquired PE appear to share the dimensions of short ejaculatory latency, reduced or absent perceived ejaculatory control, and the presence of negative personal consequences. Men with acquired PE are older, have higher incidences of erectile dysfunction, comorbid disease, and cardiovascular risk factors, and have a longer intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) as compared with men with lifelong PE. A self-estimated or stopwatch IELT of 3 minutes was identified as a valid IELT cut-off for diagnosing acquired PE. On this basis, the committee agreed on a unified definition of both acquired and lifelong PE as a male sexual dysfunction characterized by (i) ejaculation that always or nearly always occurs prior to or within about 1 minute of vaginal penetration from the first sexual experience (lifelong PE) or a clinically significant and bothersome reduction in latency time, often to about 3 minutes or less (acquired PE); (ii) the inability to delay ejaculation on all or nearly all vaginal penetrations; and (iii) negative personal consequences, such as distress, bother, frustration, and/or the avoidance of sexual intimacy. Conclusion: The ISSM unified definition of lifelong and acquired PE represents the first evidence-based definition for these conditions. This definition will enable researchers to design methodologically rigorous studies to improve our understanding of acquired PE.

description: Erfahrungsbericht zum Praktikum Experimentelles Software Engineering im Sommersemester 2005: Die Entwicklung innovativer Systeme ist trotz intensiver Forschung auf diesem Gebiet eine herausfordernde Arbeit. Innovative eingebettete Systeme in der Automobilindustrie stellen hohe Anforderungen an die Entwickler, da diese zumeist Systeme für einen konkreten Bedarf entwickeln, der in dieser Ausprägung bisher nicht existiert und damit auch keine dedizierten Stakeholder befragt werden können. Im Zuge dieser Entwicklungsarbeiten wird ein intensives Domain Engineering betrieben, bei dem viel Wissen über die zu entwickelnde Domäne angesammelt wird, das auch für die Fortentwicklung der Systeme relevant ist. Da in der Industrie Wiederverwendung eine beachtliche Rolle spielt, da durch sie eine Senkung der Entwicklungskosten sowie eine Steigerung der Qualität unterstützt wird, muss man von Beginn einer Entwicklung an die Wiederverwendbarkeit von Wissen oder Komponenten unterstützen. Software-Produktlinien sind eine besonders erfolgreiche Technik, um Wiederverwendung zu gestalten. In dem vorliegenden Bericht beschreiben wir ein Experiment, das zwei unterschiedliche Beschreibungstechniken für das während der frühen Phase der Innovationsentwicklung anfallende Wissen vergleicht, um es für die Einbettung der Innovation in eine Software-Produktlinie zu nutzen. Verglichen werden klassische Sitzungsprotokolle mit Entscheidungsmodellen, die auf der Arbeit von James Dewar und Stephen Toulmin aufsetzen. Das in diesem Bericht beschriebene Experiment wurde als Praktikum für Studierende im Hauptstudium an der Universität Ulm im Sommersemester 2005 durchgeführt. Die aus dem Experiment gewonnenen Hinweise deuten an, dass eine sinnvolle Verwendung von den von uns vorgestellten Entscheidungsmodellen mit weniger Aufwand zu einem besseren Verständnis der Domäne der Innovation insgesamt führt und dieses Wissen auch leichter anderen Personen zugänglich ist.

The effects of electron donors on the growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria in copper-zinc and gold mine tailings from Timmins, Ontario
Creators: name: Roy, Michael
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Geology.

description: Previous studies have shown that sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are present and possibly active in gold and copper-zinc mine tailings. Sulfate-reducing bacteria can play an important role in the geochemistry of the mine tailings as they are responsible for the precipitation of diagenetic iron monosulfides and pyrite, a potential source for the generation of acid mine drainage. On the other hand, the formation of iron monosulfides can also serve to immobilize trace metals, and therefore has potential benefits to the tailing water systems. In addition, microbial sulfate reduction generates alkalinity which can be used to neutralize some of the acidity generated by the oxidation of metal sulfides. To better understand the role that sulfate-reducing bacteria play on the geochemistry of mine tailings, this present study was designed to identify some of the factors controlling the growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the tailings. The main goal was to determine the influence of organic electron donors (specifically lactate, acetate, formate and pyruvate) on microbial sulfate reduction in closed batch systems possessing physico-chemical conditions (pH, redox potential) matching the in situ conditions of the tailings in order to identify the preferred electron donor.

Transition metal catalyzed synthesis of glycoclusters from sugar alkynes.
Creators: name: Trono, Corazon.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: A series of rigid neoglycoclusters and dimers were synthesized from sugar alkynes using Sonogashira coupling. Rigid dimers consisting of two mannoside or galactoside derivatives tethered to a phenylacetylene core were constructed. By oxidative coupling of glycosidic terminal acetylenes, rigid dimers consisting of two mannoside residues tethered to a diphenyl-di-acetylene core were synthesized. Utilizing the ortho-, meta- and para-acetylene substituted phenyls, rigid dimers having monosaccharide units oriented at 60°, 120° and 180° with each other were generated. Convergent synthesis of glycosidic clusters emanating from a benzene core was attained utilizing Co2(CO)8 catalyzed cyclotrimerization of acetylenes disubstituted with monosaccharide residues. Trimers and hexamers, including a hexameric "molecular asterisk" were constructed. Galactoside and mannoside clusters were synthesized. Semi-rigid dimers were also synthesized by O-glycosidation of dihydroxybenzene and 2-butyn-1,4-diol. Preliminary binding studies of the mannoside dimers, trimer and hexamers revealed that the hexamer and rigid dimers having two phenyl-acetylenes at the core have promising activity vs. the phytohemagglutinin from Canavalia ensiformis (ConA.). Optimum binding with ConA was demonstrated by the para-disubstituted di-phenyl-diacetylene and the molecular asterisk. These two compounds showed comparable activities giving an indication of the minimum binding requirements of mannosaccharide conjugates with Concanavalin A.
Cloning and characterization of Unp: A novel nuclear proto-oncogene.
Creators: name: Gupta, Kalpana.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: The cloning and characterization of a novel gene, Unp (for Ubiquitin-specific Nuclear Protease), is described in this thesis. This gene was identified during a survey for candidate genes for the retroviral insertional mutation Mpv 20. Unp is transcribed into two ubiquitously expressed mRNAs of approximately 3.5 and 3.7 kb. The two mRNAs vary at their $3\prime$ ends due to alternative usage of two degenerate polyadenylation signals. The $5\prime$ UTR of Unp contains several minicistrons, which suggest a growth related function for this gene. The Unp gene has been mapped to mouse chromosome 9 and human chromosome 3 in a region which is implicated in several types of human cancers based on loss of heterozygocity. This suggests a possible tumor suppressor function for this gene. The predicted amino acid sequence of the Unp protein contains several conserved motifs, including p53 type nuclear localization signal, consensus for binding to the retinoblastoma protein, and the Cys and His domains conserved in yeast ubiquitin proteases. The pRb binding consensus is present in the region of Unp which shares homology to the recombinant human oncogene tre-2. Unp protein is localized in the nucleus and migrates at a higher molecular mass than expected, suggesting that this protein is post-translationally modified. Unp is tumorigenic in athymic mice showing that it is a proto-oncogene. The protein product of Unp is a ubiquitin-specific protease. The Unp gene is highly polymorphic in humans, and loss of Unp sequences is detected in 1 out of the 7 informative human lung tumors analyzed.

description: There is strong evidence that the efficiency of the Internet is limited by its existing TCP congestion control system. A replacement, FAST, has been shown to improve performance in high-speed networks. In order to achieve widespread acceptance and standardisation, it must also be tested in environments more typical of the existing Internet. This paper experimentally evaluates the performance of FAST over a typical access link, with bandwidths of around 0.5-3 Mbps. Links both using the DOCSIS cable modem medium access control (MAC) protocol and simple low rate links were investigated. It is shown that the random delay introduced by MAC protocol of the cable modem does not appear to interfere significantly with FAST’s ability to set the congestion window size to its target. However, the cable modem does appear to introduce consistent additional delays when the link is highly, but not fully, utilised. These unexplained delays mean that a larger congestion window is required, and must be taken into account when setting FAST’s parameters, notably the target queue size, alpha.

description: Background: Emergence coughing and bucking, secondary to endotracheal tube stimulation of the tracheal mucosa, frequently occurs after the general anesthetic recedes. Besides general unpleasantness, coughing has important physiological sequelae that may be detrimental to the postoperative patient. Multiple pharmacological strategies have been published, but prior systematic reviews on this topic have neither been comprehensive enough in their literature or medication search, nor provided us the answer regarding what the best pharmacological method is to prevent or minimize peri-extubation coughing. Our systematic review and network meta-analysis’ primary objective is to determine the relative efficacies of different pharmacological methods on decreasing coughing (none to mild compared to moderate to severe, as defined by the modified Minogue scale) during emergence after a general anesthetic with endotracheal intubation in adult elective surgeries. Medications of interest are lidocaine or lignocaine (intravenous (IV), intracuff alkalinized, intracuff non-alkalinized, topical, endotracheal application), dexmedetomidine IV, remifentanil IV, and fentanyl IV. These medications were selected based on a preliminary review of the literature. Methods: Using a predefined search strategy, we will search MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ACP Journal Club, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, and the Cochrane Methodology Register, with no date or language restrictions. Gray literature search will encompass conference abstracts, Web of Science, and references from publications selected for full-text review. Two reviewers will independently screen the retrieved literature using predetermined inclusion criteria, process publications selected for full-text review, extract data from publications chosen for study inclusion, and evaluate for bias using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment. Risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated for each study, and a surface under the cumulative ranking curve will determine the relative rank of each intervention in its ability to prevent coughing on emergence. Discussion: The proposed systematic review and network meta-analysis will not only provide a more thorough review of common medications used to decrease emergence coughing, but also inform clinicians which of these pharmacological strategies is the best approach.

Analyses of approximate optimization of logistic problems.
Creators: name: Bessadok, Adel.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: The thesis focuses on methods of mathematical optimization for logistic planning with applications to the location of facilities and inventory of products. Algebraic models of location on networks are presented in increasing order of complexity and realism emphasizing the presence of elemental models as building blocks of larger logistic systems. The thesis examines two small, well-known logistic problem formulations. For both applications, optimization programs are presented for which a classical solution approach is to find approximate optima because the representation encapsulates either combinatorial or functional complexities. Mathematical expressions of these approximations enable the calculation of their variations with the model parameters. Thus, constraint specifications of mathematical programs ease both the analysis of fast approximation and the analysis of variation of the optimal value as a function of each parameter of the model. Starting with the uncapacitated facility location model, a simple heuristic for the location of facilities is compared with previous heuristics and exact algorithms and shown to yield an acceptable level of accuracy with respect to previous measures of quality. In a study of capacity planning patterned after a traditional model of inventory control, a (Q,r) inventory system is analysed. The underlying mathematical model serves as a base for sensitivity analysis. As in the previous chapter, an approximation yields sufficient insight to predict the variation of optimal policies under varying conditions.

description: Abstract We study experimentally and theoretically the properties of structural defects (kink solitons) in two-dimensional ion Coulomb crystals. We show how different types of kink solitons with different physical properties can be realized, and transformed from one type into another by varying the aspect ratio of the trap confinement. Further, we discuss how impurities in ion Coulomb crystals, such as mass defects, can modify the dynamics of kink creation and their stability. For both pure and impure crystals, the experimentally observed kink dynamics are analysed in detail and explained theoretically by numerical simulations and calculations of the Peierls–Nabarro potential. Finally, we demonstrate that static electric fields provide a handle to vary the influence of mass defects on kinks in a controlled way and allow for deterministic manipulation and creation of kinks.

description: Chronic lateral epicondylalgia (LE) is a common musculoskeletal condition which has been associated with the presence of distinct local sensorimotor abnormalities. Despite this, little is known about central motor system function and forearm/wrist kinesthetic acuity in cases of chronic LE. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine whether there are adaptive neurophysiological changes occurring at the corticomotor level in individuals presenting with chronic unilateral lateral epicondylalgia, and whether the same individuals present deficits in proprioceptive acuity for weight discrimination and manual dexterity. Methods. For this descriptive, case-controlled study, 14 individuals with chronic LE and 16 age- and gender-matched controls were recruited. LE-related disability was measured with the quickDASH questionnaire and proprioceptive acuity was estimated by way of a weight discrimination task. The Grooved Pegboard Test was used to derive an index of manual dexterity and transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to assess four indices of corticomotor excitability in wrist extensor muscles. Results. Proprioceptive acuity was decreased in the affected arms of LE participants (p=0.001). There were no differences in manual dexterity or indices of corticomotor excitability between arms (p > 0.05) for both groups, but manual dexterity of each the affected and unaffected arms was correlated with resting corticomotor thresholds (p=0.0001 and p=0.04, respectively) a relationship which was not found in the control group. Discussion. Proprioceptive acuity was deteriorated in our sample of chronic LE. Though the clinical significance in this population is unknown, it is hypothesized that such deficits may hamper force perception during functional activities. The relationships existing bilaterally between manual dexterity and motor thresholds suggest that "crossed" modulation of corticomotor excitability may be further influenced by the presence of musculoskeletal dysfunction and/or chronic musculoskeletal pain. While mechanisms responsible for such changes are unclear, these findings merit confirmation in larger patient samples.
Hydrazides as tunable reagents for alkene hydroamination and aminocarbonylation

description: Intramolecular hydroamination and aminocarbonylation of alkenes are highly desirable synthetic transformations providing access to structures frequently used in medicinal chemistry. Most research efforts currently focus on achieving this reactivity through transition metal catalysis. Our approach involves using hydrazides under thermal (metal-free) conditions to achieve hydroamination or aminocarbonylation upon selection of the appropriate hydrazide substituent (R). Upon substitution when R=Ph, various different compounds were synthesized and isolated in moderate to excellent yields (39 to 98%). Primary and secondary hydrazides pyrrolidines were cyclized and terminal or internal substituted double bonds were tolerated. Morpholine, piperazine, piperidine and azepane moieties were also cyclised with increased heat. This methodology was also consistent with hydroamination on a benzylic olefin. Aminocarbonylation products were obtained in good to excellent yields (52--86%), when R=NH2 and O-tBu. Substituted terminal bonds are obtained with retention of alkene stereochemistry, suggesting a novel concerted reaction pathway. Such reactions are very practical: the starting materials are accessed readily, and both starting materials and products are easy to handle and purify. Such products are also remarkably stable at high temperatures.* *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams.

description: Introduction: The International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) Ad Hoc Committee for the Definition of Premature Ejaculation developed the first evidence-based definition for lifelong premature ejaculation (PE) in 2007 and concluded that there were insufficient published objective data at that time to develop a definition for acquired PE. Aim: The aim of this article is to review and critique the current literature and develop a contemporary, evidence-based definition for acquired PE and/or a unified definition for both lifelong and acquired PE. Methods: In April 2013, the ISSM convened a second Ad Hoc Committee for the Definition of Premature Ejaculation in Bangalore, India. The same evidence-based systematic approach to literature search, retrieval, and evaluation used by the original committee was adopted. Results: The committee unanimously agreed that men with lifelong and acquired PE appear to share the dimensions of short ejaculatory latency, reduced or absent perceived ejaculatory control, and the presence of negative personal consequences. Men with acquired PE are older, have higher incidences of erectile dysfunction, comorbid disease, and cardiovascular risk factors, and have a longer intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) as compared with men with lifelong PE. A self-estimated or stopwatch IELT of 3 minutes was identified as a valid IELT cut-off for diagnosing acquired PE. On this basis, the committee agreed on a unified definition of both acquired and lifelong PE as a male sexual dysfunction characterized by (i) ejaculation that always or nearly always occurs prior to or within about 1 minute of vaginal penetration from the first sexual experience (lifelong PE) or a clinically significant and bothersome reduction in latency time, often to about 3 minutes or less (acquired PE); (ii) the inability to delay ejaculation on all or nearly all vaginal penetrations; and (iii) negative personal consequences, such as distress, bother, frustration, and/or the avoidance of sexual intimacy. Conclusion: The ISSM unified definition of lifelong and acquired PE represents the first evidence-based definition for these conditions. This definition will enable researchers to design methodologically rigorous studies to improve our understanding of acquired PE.

description: The German Environmental Survey for Children and Adolescents, GerES V, focused on the young generation. GerES V was carried out by the German Environment Agency from 2014 to 2017. Potentially harmful chemicals were analysed in the blood and urine of the 3 to 17 years old children and adolescents by human biomonitoring in order to determine the levels of exposure. Examples of additional evaluations are given: analyses of chemicals emerging on the market, identification of population groups subject to specific exposure, revealing time trends in exposure, identification of exposure pathways and sources, and evaluation of the impact on health. The evaluations deliver data for the improvements of measures and regulations for the protection of health and environment and thus contribute to the goal to build a healthy future of the population.
