Capitalizing China's Media Industry: The Installation of Capitalist Production in the Chinese TV and Film Sectors
… project seeks to document, examine, and critique the ongoing push toward capitalist production in China's media industry. It strives to conceptualize and detail the process of building capitalist production, to look at how it connects with the prevailing political and economic institutions, and to …

Regulation of Chromosome Segregation by the Chromosomal Passenger Complex
<p>Life depends on faithful DNA segregation. The molecular underpinnings controlling this segregation are not fully understood. Here I describe the role of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) in the regulation of chromosome segregation, using Xenopus egg extracts. The CPC contains the kinase …

Visualization for Solving Non-image Problems and Saliency Mapping
… machine learning (ML), and data mining (DM) are the key aspects of data science research for high-dimensional data. This thesis is to explore the efficiency of a new algorithm to convert non-images data into raster images by visualizing data using heatmap in the collocated paired coordinates …

Evaluation of the success of the centre for positive cares orphan and vulnerable children programme in Vhembe District of South Africa
Since the Centre for Positive Care (CPC)-run orphan and vulnerable children (OVC) programme was established in 2005, it has never been systematically evaluated. Its impact in the community is still unknown. This study was conducted to determine the success of the OVC programme in terms of its …

Examining Intracellular Phosphorylation Gradients During Cell Division
<p>The dynamic cellular reorganization needed for successful mitosis requires spatial regulatory cues. I examine this problem at two different levels. First, I analyze a phosphorylation gradient for substrates of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC). CPC is a conserved regulator involved in key …

Characterization of a Novel Chromatin-Induced Mechanism that Couples Microtubule Disassembly and Nuclear Re-Formation
<p>Upon completion of mitosis, the disassembly of spindle components and reassembly of nuclear structures occur simultaneously around chromatin. Previous studies have suggested that an important step in this process is the inactivation of the Aurora B kinase by the Triple A-ATPase Cdc48/p97, which …

Mechanistic Insights into the Microtubule-Mediated Differential Modulations of Aurora B Substrate Structures for Accurate Chromosome Segregation
… during eukaryotic cell division depends on the ability of sister kinetochores on duplicated chromatids to attach microtubules from opposite spindle poles. Failure in this process causes aneuploidy and drives cancer formation. To maintain genomic integrity, aberrant kinetochore-microtubule …

An evaluation of the long-term treatment outcomes of a multidisciplinary chronic pain centre program
The Chronic Pain Center (CPC) in Saskatoon offers a multidisciplinary treatment program whose goals are to facilitate improved coping skills, function and well-being, and to promote self-reliant lifestyles. They have documented a statistically significant improvement on several measures of physical …

Control of Chromosome Segregation by the Aurora B Complex
… as those found in female meiosis, chromosomes themselves nucleate and stabilize microtubules in order to promote accurate spindle formation. Here we present a description of the composition and function of the vertebrate chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), known to include Incenp, Survivin, …

Regulated Recruitment of the Chromosomal Passenger Complex to Chromatin and Microtubules Promotes Accurate Cell Division
<p>Aurora B, the kinase subunit of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), promotes accurate cell division by destabilizing erroneous kinetochoremicrotubule attachments and activating the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). Both functions require Aurora B activation, which is promoted by its …

Structural and Mechanistic insights into Centromere Specification and Kinetochore Regulation
Faithful transmission of the genome requires that chromosomes are accurately segregated between daughter cells in mitosis. Accurate chromosome segregation relies on proper specification of the site of kinetochore formation on each chromosome, in addition to dynamic regulation of the interactions of …

Compounds Released from Biomass Deconstruction: Understanding Their Effect on Cellulose Enzyme Hydrolysis and Their Biological Activity
<p>The effect of compounds produced during biomass pretreatment on cellulolytic enzyme was investigated. Liquid prehydrolyzates were prepared by pretreating switchgrass using 24 combinations of temperature, time, and sulfuric acid concentration based on a full factorial design. Temperature was …

Exploration of plastic pallets using various fillers on graphite nanoplatelets/polypropylene composites
… mechanical properties of plastic pallets. The potential of graphite nanoplatelets (GnP)/PP composites for the application in packaging was scrutinized by examining mechanical properties, thermal properties, flow properties, and morphology as a function of GnP loading and by comparison of …

Techno-Economic Evaluation of a Commercial c-Phycocyanin Extraction Process
Growing health concerns over synthetically produced pigments have led to the development of natural pigment products from phycobiliproteins, a family of proteins found in cyanobacteria. One such phycobiliprotein is c-phycocyanin (cPC), a bright blue pigment that has already found widespread …

A compiler optimization framework for Concordia parallel C
In this thesis, we present the design and implementation of a compiler optimization framework for the Concordia Parallel C (CPC). CPC is the working language for the Concordia Parallel Systems Simulator (CPSS), whose purpose is to study interactions between parallel runtime systems and languages …

Mass Media as Instruments for Political and Social Control in China: Media Role in Chinese Politics
Under the influence of Soviet media theory, Chinese media have been held under the control of the Communist Party of China ever since the Party was established in 1921. However, this practice of control was subject to change as a result of rapid economic development and many social changes brought …

The Design and analysis of a HA/PLA pedicle screw for spinal fusion
Metallic pedicle screws have been widely used in the orthopaedic field to treat spinal diseases. Although spinal screws have improved over the last few decades, there is still sometimes a need for a second painful surgery to remove the instrumentation due to late-onset pain or discomfort due to …
