Translation represents a highly regulated, interconnected process of protein synthesis in the cell. It could be divided into 4 phases: initiation, elongation, termination, and ribosomal recycling. Our laboratory is involved in in-depth studies of a complex eukaryotic initiation factor 3 protein (eIF3). We are interested not only in revealing its molecular roles in the translational cycle in general but also in specific mechanisms that allow translational regulation according to specific cellular needs. In the budding yeast, the eIF3 is composed of five essential subunits (a/Tif32, b/Prt1, c/Nip1, g/Tif35 and i/Tif34). In mammals, the protein is even more complex, comprising of 12 subunits (a-i, k-m). eIF3 is a key player not only in translation initiation but also in ribosomal recycling and, surprisingly, in translation termination and stop codon readthrough as well. The latter process harbors important clinical potential, as approximately 1/3 of genetically inherited diseases is caused by the presence of a premature termination codon in the protein-coding region. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanism underlying this phenomenon provides important tools for the targeted and less toxic drug development approaches needed for patient therapy. In this Ph.D. Thesis, I uncovered the role of...

Executive function, the cognitive processes that allow the voluntary control of goal-directed behaviour, can be studied through the examination of inhibition of action. The countermanding paradigm has been shown to be a powerful tool to examine a subject’s ability to withhold responses to a go stimulus when a stop signal is presented occasionally. Logan and Cowan (1984) developed a race model to account for countermanding performance in humans, proposing that independent go and stop process initiated by the go and stop signals respectively, race toward a finish line whereby the first process to cross its finish line determines the behavioural outcome. The model allows estimation of the stop signal response time, a variable that is not directly observable. The race model has yet to be validated for countermanding performance in rats. Using a new rodent countermanding task inspired directly from human studies, male Wistar rats were trained to respond to a visual stimulus (go signal) by pressing a lever below an illuminated light for food reward, but to countermand lever the press (25% of trials) subsequent to an auditory tone (stop signal) presented after a variable delay. The ability to cancel a response decreased as stop signal delay increased. The stop signal response time for rats was estimated to be 157 ms, a value within the range of human estimates. Predictions of countermanding performance made by the race model were generally respected. Response times of movements that escape inhibition: 1) were shorter than those of movements made in the absence of a stop signal; 2) gradually lengthened with increasing stop signal delay; and most importantly, 3) were predicted by the race model. These findings demonstrate that the countermanding performance of rodents can be accounted for by a simple race model, which has been applied successfully in human studies and nonhuman primate models. This new animal model will permit complementary invasive investigations of brain mechanisms underlying inhibitory control and refine the existing rodent models of neurological disease and impulsivity. / Thesis (Master, Neuroscience Studies) -- Queen's University, 2008-09-30 11:35:44.713

The current study tests the use of vowel duration as a cue for the voicing of the following stop by Saudi ESL learners. It is mainly constructed on the Language Transfer Theory (LTT) established by Gass and Selinker (1994), the Ontogeny Phylogeny Model (OPM) formulated by Major (2001), the Perceptual Assimilation Model (PAM) developed by Best (1994, 1995), and the Speech Learning Model (SLM) developed by Flege (1995). The instrument contained 30 English monosyllabic minimal pairs of the type CVC. The participants, who were living in the US, consisted of two groups: 5 advanced Saudi ESL learners with linguistic knowledge and 10 advanced Saudi ESL learners without linguistic knowledge. Results showed that both groups of participants (those with linguistics background and those without linguistics background) were fairly accurate at predicting final voiceless Coronal and Dorsal stops after a shorter vowel. On the other hand, they both had equal difficulties predicting voiced stops in this environment. This would explain why participants in both groups overall seemed to be listening for the voicing status of the final stop and disregarding differences in vowel length as a predictor of that voicing. Individual participants, overall, were quite uniform in their responses regardless of any background in linguistics. This finding suggests that participants in both groups relied much more on the actual voicing of the final stops than they did on the length of the preceding vowel.

This dissertation presents searches for direct pair production of a scalar partner of the top quark in events with only jets and \acrlong{met} in proton--proton collisions recorded during LHC Run 1 and Run 2 with the ATLAS detector. In the supersymmetry scenario, the partner is called top squark or stop. The stop ($\stop$) is assumed to decay via $\stop \to t \ninoone$, $\stop\to b\chinoonepm \to b W^{\left(\ast\right)} \ninoone$, or $\stop\ra bW\ninoone$, where $\ninoone$ ($\chinoonepm$) denotes the lightest neutralino (chargino). Exclusion limits are reported in terms of the stop and neutralino masses. The LHC Run 1 analysis uses an integrated luminosity of 20.1~{\ifb} at $\acrshort{sqrts}=8~\tev$ to exclude top squark masses in the range $270$--$645~\GeV$ for $\ninoone$ masses below $30~\GeV$, assuming a 100\% $\stop \to t \ninoone$ \gls{br}. For a \gls{br} of $50\%$ to either $\stop \to t \ninoone$ or $\stop\to b\chinoonepm$, and assuming $m_{\chinoonepm} = 2 m_{\ninoone}$, stop masses in the range $250$--$550~\GeV$ are excluded for $\ninoone$ masses below $60~\GeV$. The LHC Run 2 analysis uses an integrated luminosity of 13.3~{\ifb} at $\acrshort{sqrts}=13~\tev$. Assuming a 100\% $\stop \to t \ninoone$ \gls{br}, stop masses in the range $310$--$820~\GeV$ are excluded for $\ninoone$ masses below $160~\GeV$. For $\mstop\sim m_t+\mLSP$ scenario, the search excludes stop masses between $23$--$380~\GeV$. Additionally, scenarios where stops are produced indirectly through gluino decay but have very low $p_T$ signature due to a very small $\Delta (\mstop, \mLSP)$, have been considered. The result is interpreted as an upper limit for the cross section in terms of the gluino and stop masses. This excludes all models considered which include $m_{\gluino}$ up to 1600~\GeV\ with $\mLSP<560~\GeV$ at 95\% CL. Finally, the analysis strategy from the LHC Run 1 search is applied in the broader scope of supersymmetry called \gls{pmssm}. This dissertation presents a summary of the results that related to the stop search.

Electropalatography (EPG) is a computer-based device that uses a fitted pseudopalate (similar to an orthodontic retainer) with embedded electrodes to track tongue-to-palate contact during speech for the purposes of providing treatment for a variety of communication disorders. This study evaluated six elementary school-aged children's ability to adapt their speech to the presence of the pseudopalate in their mouth. The participants' adaptation for the consonants /t/ and /k/ was examined over eight time intervals throughout a two and half hour time period. Adaptation was evaluated by measuring the duration, spectral mean, spectral variance, and relative intensity of the target sounds. The participants demonstrated significant changes in speech patterns upon initial placement of the pseudopalate across the spectral parameters of mean, variance, and relative intensity. However, no significant differences in duration were found for either phoneme in the pseudopalate versus no pseudopalate conditions. Therefore, temporal parameters for consonant duration were relatively unaffected by the pseudopalate. The children in the study were able to make some speech adaptations to the pseudopalate, however evidence from the /t/ and /k/ productions indicated that the majority of participants were not able to fully adapt to the EPG device during the two and a half hour time period. Clinicians using EPG must take adaptation effects into consideration.
