    Abstract The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) family catalyses the addition of a phosphate group to the D-3 position of polyphosphoinositides (PPIn). Since the discovery in the late 80s that phosphatidylinositol is phosphorylated in the D-3 position in eukaryotic cells, there has been an explosion of interest in these PPIn. Although the four D-3 PPIn (phosphatidylinositol 3-phophate (PtdIns3P), PtdIns(3,4)P(2), PtdIns(3,5)P(2), and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) represent only a small proportion of PPIn, production of D-3 PPIn is required for an ever-increasing number of processes. Measurement of the PPIn levels in intact cells cultured cells has been vital to our understanding of the metabolism and function of these important signalling molecules; methods are described herein that allow measurement of PPIn levels in cultured cells, with emphasis on the 3-OH PPIn.

    Abstract The seven phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), often collectively referred to as polyphosphoinositides (PPIn), are a minor component of eukaryotic cell membranes. Nevertheless, their synthesis is needed for an ever-increasing spectrum of cellular processes, including regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, chemotaxis, membrane trafficking, glucose uptake, and organelle acidification. PPIn metabolism is regulated dynamically by a network of kinases and phosphatases. Furthermore, synthesis of PPIn can be provoked by external stimuli; for example, the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate rapidly and transiently accumulates in cells challenged with agonists such as PDGF that activate receptor tyrosine kinases. The measurement of PPIn levels in in vivo cultured cells has been vital to our understanding of the metabolism and function of these important signaling molecules; methods are described herein that allow measurement of PPIn levels in culture cells in vivo.

    Abstract Program evaluation is an essential, but often neglected, activity in any transformational educational change. Competence by Design was a large-scale change initiative to implement a competency-based time-variable educational system in Canadian postgraduate medical education. A program evaluation strategy was an integral part of the build and implementation plan for CBD from the beginning, providing insights into implementation progress, challenges, unexpected outcomes, and impact. The Competence by Design program evaluation strategy was built upon a logic model and three pillars of evaluation: readiness to implement, fidelity and integrity of implementation, and outcomes of implementation. The program evaluation strategy harvested from both internally driven studies and those performed by partners and invested others. A dashboard for the program evaluation strategy was created to transparently display a real-time view of Competence by Design implementation and facilitate continuous adaptation and improvement. The findings of the program evaluation for Competence by Design drove changes to all aspects of the Competence by Design implementation, aided engagement of partners, supported change management, and deepened our understanding of the journey required for transformational educational change in a complex national postgraduate medical education system. The program evaluation strategy for Competence by Design provides a framework for program evaluation for any large-scale change in health professions education.

    Abstract Despite nearly 50 years of study, it is good to see that phosphoinositides are still capable of springing the odd surprise. Signaling by the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) was thought to be absent in yeast, but a recent paper now describes the presence of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

    Abstract Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P(2)) is the most recently discovered PtdInsP(2) isomer. It is likely that PtdIns(3,5)P(2) is ubiquitous to eukaryotes, and that it performs a number of important cellular functions, including vacuolar homeostasis, retrograde trafficking from the vacuole, and protein sorting at the multivesicular body. This review describes the metabolism of PtdIns(3,5)P(2) and discusses the potential functions for this lipid.

    Abstract Many in-memory computing frameworks demand electronic devices with specific switching characteristics to achieve the desired level of computational complexity. Existing memristive devices cannot be reconfigured to meet the diverse volatile and non-volatile switching requirements, and hence rely on tailored material designs specific to the targeted application, limiting their universality. "Reconfigurable memristors" that combine both ionic diffusive and drift mechanisms could address these limitations, but they remain elusive. Here we present a reconfigurable halide perovskite nanocrystal memristor that achieves on-demand switching between diffusive/volatile and drift/non-volatile modes by controllable electrochemical reactions. Judicious selection of the perovskite nanocrystals and organic capping ligands enable state-of-the-art endurance performances in both modes - volatile (2 × 10

    Abstract Purpose: To determine the impact of abdominal compression (AC) on setup error and image matching time.
    Materials and methods: This study included 72 liver, pancreas and abdominal node patients treated radically from 2016 to 2019 in a single centre. Patients received either SBRT or conventional radical fractionation (CRF). Compressed patients were supine, arms up with kneefix and AC equipment. Uncompressed patients were supine, arms up with kneefix. All patients received daily online-matched CBCTs before treatment. Initial setup error was determined for all patients. Registration error was assessed for 10 liver and 10 pancreas patients. Image matching times were determined using beam on times. Statistical tests conducted were an F-test to compare variances in setup error, Student's t-tests for setup error and average image analysis, and a Wilcoxon Mann Whitney test for imaging matching time analysis.
    Results: Initial setup displacement was similar between compressed and uncompressed patients. Displacements > 1 cm occurred more frequently in the longitudinal direction for most patients. SBRT patients required more additional manual positioning following imaging. Mean absolute registration error in the SI direction was 5.4 mm and 3.3 mm for uncompressed and compressed pancreas patients respectively and 1.7 mm and 0.8 mm for uncompressed and compressed liver patients respectively. Compressed patients required less time for image matching and fewer images per fraction on average. Repeat imaging occurred more frequently in SBRT and uncompressed patients.
    Conclusions: Although abdominal compression has no significant impact on setup error, it can reduce imaging matching times resulting in improved treatment accuracy.

    Abstract Landscape-scale alterations that accompany urbanization may negatively affect the population structure of wildlife species such as freshwater turtles. Changes to nesting sites and higher mortality rates due to vehicular collisions and increased predator populations may particularly affect immature turtles and mature female turtles. We hypothesized that the proportions of adult female and immature turtles in a population will negatively correlate with landscape urbanization. As a collaborative effort of the Ecological Research as Education Network (EREN), we sampled freshwater turtle populations in 11 states across the central and eastern United States. Contrary to expectations, we found a significant positive relationship between proportions of mature female painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) and urbanization. We did not detect a relationship between urbanization and proportions of immature turtles. Urbanization may alter the thermal environment of nesting sites such that more females are produced as urbanization increases. Our approach of creating a collaborative network of scientists and students at undergraduate institutions proved valuable in terms of testing our hypothesis over a large spatial scale while also allowing students to gain hands-on experience in conservation science.
