One hundred and five primarily Caucasian undergraduate couples were tested to study the phenomenon of attitude alignment, or the way in which individuals change their opinions to achieve greater attitudinal congruence with their romantic partners, and the hypotheses that relationship closeness, affect, attachment, social desirability, and centrality are each related to attitude alignment for individuals in close couples. The couples filled out an attitude questionnaire consisting of 50 issues in which they were asked to give their attitude on a scale from 1 to 9 as well as to rate the centrality, or importance, of that issue on a scale from 1 to 9. Before discussing four of these issues with each other - 2 were more central to the man and less central, or peripheral, to the woman, whereas the other 2 were central to the woman and peripheral to the man - the individuals completed established measures of relationship closeness, affect, attachment, and social desirability. The couples then filled out the identical attitudes questionnaire again, and their answers on the four discussion issues were compared to their prediscussion answers to determine whether attitude alignment had occurred. There were two experimental groups: a social desirability group, where the couples were told it was natural and normal to disagree with their partners, and a control group. Results indicated that attitude alignment did significantly occur across all couples, but most other variables - including centrality, relationship closeness, and affect - did not predict attitude alignment behaviour. As well, the social desirability experimental groups did not significantly differ on attitude alignment behaviours, but higher scores on the social desirability scale, specifically self-deception, significantly predicted higher attitude alignment scores across all couples. Large differences between individuals' frequency.

This work includes two major parts. The first part of the work concentrated on the studies of the application of the highperfonnance liquid chromatography-particle beam interface-mass spectrometry system of some pesticides. Factors that have effects on the detection sensitivity were studied. The linearity ranges and detection limits of ten pesticides are also given in this work. The second part of the work concentrated on the studies of the reduction phenomena of nitro compounds in the HPLC-PB-MS system. Direct probe mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques were also used in the work. Factors that have effects on the reduction of the nitro compounds were studied, and the possible explanation is proposed. The final part of this work included the studies of reduction behavior of some other compounds in the HPLC-PB-MS system, included in them are: quinones, sulfoxides, and sulfones.

Variations in different types of genomes have been found to be responsible for a large degree of physical diversity such as appearance and susceptibility to disease. Identification of genomic variations is difficult and can be facilitated through computational analysis of DNA sequences. Newly available technologies are able to sequence billions of DNA base pairs relatively quickly. These sequences can be used to identify variations within their specific genome but must be mapped to a reference sequence first. In order to align these sequences to a reference sequence, we require mapping algorithms that make use of approximate string matching and string indexing methods. To date, few mapping algorithms have been tailored to handle the massive amounts of output generated by newly available sequencing technologies. In otrder to handle this large amount of data, we modified the popular mapping software BWA to run in parallel using OpenMPI. Parallel BWA matches the efficiency of multithreaded BWA functions while providing efficient parallelism for BWA functions that do not currently support multithreading. Parallel BWA shows significant wall time speedup in comparison to multithreaded BWA on high-performance computing clusters, and will thus facilitate the analysis of genome sequencing data.

La sclérose systémique (ScS) est une maladie auto-immune dont l’un des principaux auto-anticorps, dirigé contre la protéine centromérique B (CENP-B), est fortement associé à l’hypertension artérielle pulmonaire, l’une des causes majeures de décès dû à la ScS. L’hypertension résulte de l’occlusion progressive des vaisseaux suite à une hyperactivation des cellules musculaires lisses (CML) de la paroi vasculaire. Cependant, les facteurs responsables de ce remodelage vasculaire restent inconnus. Plusieurs études récentes ont démontré que certains auto-antigènes possèdent des fonctions biologiques additionnelles lorsqu'ils se retrouvent dans le milieu extracellulaire. En effet, une fois libérés par nécrose ou apoptose, ces auto-antigènes adoptent une activité biologique qui s'apparente à celles des cytokines et peuvent ainsi participer aux processus normaux de réparation de blessure et/ou acquérir une activité pathogène qui contribue au développement de certaines maladies auto-immunes. Nos résultats suggèrent que la CENP-B peut être ajoutée à cette liste de molécules bifonctionnelles. À l'aide des techniques d'immunofluorescence, d'ELISA cellulaire et de cytométrie en flux, nous avons démontré que la CENP-B se liait spécifiquement à la surface des CML vasculaire de l’artère pulmonaire avec une plus grande affinité pour le phénotype contractile que synthétique. Cette liaison provoquait la migration des cellules ainsi que la sécrétion de cytokines pro-inflammatoires telles que l’interleukine 6 et 8. Les mécanismes par lesquels la protéine exerçait ces effets impliquaient la phosphorylation de FAK et Src ainsi que la voie des MAP kinases, avec ERK1/2 et p38. Des études de signalisation intracellulaire effectuées à l’aide de plusieurs inhibiteurs spécifiques ainsi que des études de désensibilisation nous ont permis d’identifier le récepteur de la CENP-B en plus d’identifier les mécanismes complets de sa signalisation membranaire. Nous avons démontré que la CENP-B se liait de manière spécifique aux CML vasculaire via le récepteur de chémokine 3 (CCR3) pour ensuite transactiver le récepteur EGF, selon un mécanisme métalloprotéase-dépendant qui implique le relargage du HB-EGF. Cette transactivation est un processus important dans l’activation de la voie des MAP kinases ainsi que dans la sécrétion d’IL-8 induite par la CENP-B. Finalement, nous avons démontré que les auto-anticorps anti-CENP-B pouvaient abolir cette cascade de signalisation, empêchant ainsi la CENP-B d’exercer son rôle de cytokine. L’identification de la CENP-B comme ligand du CCR3 ouvre donc plusieurs perspectives quant à l’étude du rôle pathogène des auto-anticorps anti-CENP-B dans la ScS.
