▼ Surgery is almost unimaginable presently without the scalpel. It is used to make incisions on the skin, in deeper soft tissues, vessels, and often in internal organs (1). It allows the surgeon to explore the internal environment and treat any ailments. So a good scalpel is an essential instrument in the hand of a surgeon. It enables him/her to perform correct incisions, whether the large open incisions of different shapes or the small incisions for laparoscopic port sites. A good scalpel also facilitates primary healing because it helps to make clean cut incisions with smooth edges. Different types of wounds such as cut or torn wounds can be treated by surgical debridement with a good scalpel and proper wound closure using sutures or bandage following the Friedrich’s principles. A scalpel should be used in a graceful motion after being held lightly by the tips of one’s fingers. A palmar grip can be applied whereby the surgical knife is held with the second through fourth fingers, being secured by the base of the thumb. The index finger should extend along the top rear of the blade and the thumb along the side of the handle. This grip works best for initial incisions and larger cuts. The pencil grip is for more precise cuts with smaller blades. The scalpel is held with the tips of the first and second fingers and the tip of the thumb with the handle resting on the fleshy base of the index finger and thumb. The surgeon should be careful not to allow the handle to rest too far along the index finger as this would result in an unstable grip and cramped fingers. But how this instrument, which is used at every operation, has been developed? Medical history, a vital part of the medical curriculum has not been a major focus for many teachers and students. This should not however be the case because studying the history of medicine has several advantages. Chief among these is that as we study history, we get to know what errors were made over time, and we can avoid them, keeping true to the saying that ‘he who does not learn from history is bound to repeat it’. Medical history also takes us through the journey and milestones made over time. This brings a better understanding to the techniques and principles that are currently used in medicine and helps students to better remember, instead of trying to memorize the facts. 4 History also might stir ideas for innovation, as one learns the simple ways that were used to solve complicated problems. Using modern day technology, several of the ancient instruments can be re-innovated to increase their efficiency.

Foram avaliados os efeitos do intervalo entre aspirações foliculares (IEA; OPU) e do tratamento com somatrotopina bovina recombinante (bST) na produção in vitro de embriões bubalinos. Dezesseis fêmeas foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em quatro grupos (fatorial 2x2): (1) G-Cont7: sessões de OPU uma vez por semana; (2) G-bST7: sessões de OPU uma vez por semana + 500mg de bST a cada 14 dias; (3) G-Cont14: sessões de OPU a cada 14 dias e (4) G-bST14: sessões de OPU + 500mg de bST a cada 14 dias. Os animais do G-Cont7 e G-bST7 foram submetidos a 16 sessões de OPU, e os animais do G-Cont14 e G-bST14 a oito sessões de OPU. Nas sessões realizadas uma vez por semana (G-s/bST) reduziu-se o número de folículos aspirados, de oócitos totais recuperados e de oócitos viáveis (P0,004). O tratamento com bST aumentou o número de folículos aspirados (P<0,0001), o total de oócitos recuperados e a taxa de recuperação (P=0,07). No entanto, nem o IEA e nem o tratamento com bST aumentaram a produção in vitro de embriões bubalinos.

It was evaluated the effect of OPU interval and bST treatment on embryo production in buffalo. Sixteen females were randomly assigned in 4 groups, in a 2x2 factorial experimental design: (1) G-Cont7: OPU session each seven days; (2) G-bST7: OPU session each seven days plus 500mg of bST each 14 days; (3) G-Cont14: OPU session each 14 days and (4) G-bST14: OPU session plus 500mg of bST each 14 days. Animals of G-Cont7 and G-bST7 were submitted to 16 OPU sessions, and those of G-Cont14 and G-bST14 to 8 OPU sessions. The OPU session performed every week (G-s/bST) decreased the number of aspirated follicles, and the number of total and viable recovery oocytes (P0.004). The treatment with bST increased the number of aspirated follicles (P<0.0001), the number of recovery oocytes and the oocyte recovery rate (P=0.07). However, neither OPU interval nor bST treatment increased the in vitro embryo production in buffalo.

▼ The requirements for communication devices continue to become more challenging each year leading to rapid developments in varying technologies to meet the demands. Tunable filters, utilizing ferroelectric varactors, are merely one solution to the ever-demanding need for microwave communication systems. Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) can be employed as the dielectric material necessary to make tunable devices. The broad range of BSTâ€™s remarkable properties allow for easy integration into many devices, such as MEMS, oscillators, phase shifters, and tunable filters. BST deposition is done via RF magnetron sputtering for our purposes. Previous work completed here at NCSU has led to a sophisticated process to fabricate tunable filters chips that work over the 6-18 GHz range. Using polycrystalline alumina substrates with varactors made up of a pair of 4 Î¼m silver gap capacitors in series as well as utilizing the BST dielectric creates excellent tunable chips. There are however issues related to the reliability of the gap capacitors composing the varactors. Existing theory (Paschenâ€™s Law) describing capacitor failure reveals gaps with relatively close spacings (below 5 Î¼m) should maintain robust breakdown strengths. However, our research, as well as numerous additional literature, proves this theory to be inaccurate. Mooreâ€™s Law has led to a return to this research area, after almost a four decade hiatus, relatively recently as well as additional modifications to electrical systems that are presently occurring. Townsend discharge and electric field emission can be used to describe the mechanisms of gap capacitor breakdown. The Fowler-Nordheim equation and Weibull statistics, via the Bernard median rank equation for determining cumulative probability, are employed to analyze the breakdown data. Various mechanisms lead to breakdown occurring among these capacitors and further investigation into silver electromigration was undertaken to explore the possibility of migration as a significant factor towards failure. The details involved in fabricating tunable filters is detailed and shown to be relatively similar to the construction of samples with loads of gap capacitors. BST thin-film deposition is completed initially, followed by photolithography processes to define the outline for the filters. Silver metallization is accomplished using DC magnetron sputtering, and patterning is completed by lift-off in an acetone solution, due to the lack of harmful effects to the BST thin-film. Samples with roughly 250 gap capacitors on them were also fabricated on alumina substrates, with gaps ranging between 2 to 5 microns and widths between 100 to 750 microns. Large number of the gap capacitors were placed under ramping DC bias to observe if failure occurred using a suitable probe station. Proper analysis was undertaken using Weibull statistics, and several critical variables were examined, including roughness, patterning processes, adhesion of silver metal to the substrate, as well as varying the type of… Advisors/Committee Members: Jon-Paul Maria, Committee Chair (advisor), Angus Kingon, Committee Member (advisor), J.C.

▼ Abstract LAM, PETER GAIFUN. Integration of Ferroelectric Thin Films in Tunable Microwave Devices. (Under the direction of Jon-Paul Maria). Recent growth in wireless communication industry has led to a growing search for alternative technologies that can provide higher flexibility and efficiency in the handling of radio frequency spectrum, and preferably at a similar or lower cost than the present technologies. Thin film barium strontium titanate has shown great promises for microwave applications. There are two goals in this thesis: 1) To show a methodology for integration of BST thin films in microwave devices operating at frequencies above 6 GHz, and 2) To explore the limits of material optimization for increased device performance. The integration of BST thin film with a 3rd order combline-based bandpass filter in the frequency range of 6 to 18 GHz was demonstrated. Alumina substrates with filled vias were used to support the devices. Optimized (Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 film was deposited and patterned in alumina substrate. Planar gap capacitors were patterned with a Cr/Au metal stack while the rest of the device layout was patterned with silver metal and electroplated with copper. The measured microwave characteristics of the bandpass filters fall within the specifications of the design but more improvements were needed to lower the insertion loss and the frequency tunability for devices operating at frequency above 12 GHz. The metallization impact on the microwave devices was studied. Two variables were tested with electroplated copper: 1) Thickness, and 2) geometry with respect to the gap. Increasing the thickness of the copper decreases the insertion loss of the device. Metal thickness beyond three skin depths does not impart significant improvement. Plating distances to the edge of the gap in the capacitor has not effect in the insertion loss of the filter. Tunability limit of coplanar gap capacitors was investigated. A series of gap capacitors with different geometry were tested. In the limit of low capacitance values, a fringe capacitance is observed, which measured to be in the range of 50-100 fF. The non-tunable capacitance contributes to the low tunability of the 12-18 GHz range bandpass filter, where the required capacitance values for impedance matching, 200-400 fF, are close to the values of the fringe. A coplanar MIM capacitor structure is proposed to improve the tunability values. The configuration consists of a sapphire substrate, followed by the metal coplanar electrodes (Pt/Ti stack deposited by e-beam evaporation) and then capped with the BST layer. Tunability values of 50% were obtained with an electric field of 125 KV/cm for an interdigitated coplanar MIM capacitor.

▼ Konservat-Lagerstätten, or fossil deposits exhibiting exceptional preservation of non-biomineralised material, are particularly prevalent in the Cambrian, and offer us great insight into the evolution and ecology of early animals and communities. The Emu Bay Shale (EBS) from the north coast of Kangaroo Island, South Australia, houses an early Cambrian (Series 3 – c. 514 Ma) Lagerstätte that contains over 50 species, including sponges, brachiopods, molluscs, annelids, priapulids, lobopodians, arthropods, vetulicolians, and several problematic taxa, making it the most diverse Burgess Shale-type (BST) biota in the southern hemisphere. While considerable work in describing taxa from the EBS Lagerstätte has been completed, less has been undertaken that focuses on the relationships between this and other Cambrian BST biotas. This project aims to examine some of the links between the EBS Lagerstätte and similar deposits from around the world, including the Burgess Shale (Canada), Chengjiang (China) and Sirius Passet (Greenland) biotas, amongst others. To this end, the project has two major parts. The first section aims to examine the biogeographic relationships between major Cambrian BST biotas from a global perspective. A substantial database of generic occurrence was constructed from the published literature, and analysed using various multivariate techniques in order to examine the relationships between these exceptionally preserved assemblages. Results suggest that both geographic distance and differences in age have an effect on the composition of BST biotas, and that assemblage similarity appears to increase through the Cambrian. The EBS biota is most closely related to other Gondwanan sites in South China, most likely reflecting a regional relationship. The second section involves a more focused description and interpretation of a single element of the EBS biota, namely an examination of the moulting habits of two common trilobite species from the Emu Bay Shale, Estaingia bilobata Pocock, 1964 and Redlichia takooensis Lu, 1950, and how this compares with other BST assemblages. Specimens from the EBS were examined and arrangements of exoskeletal elements likely representing moult ensembles identified, from which moulting behaviour was then inferred and compared. Analysis reveals that the EBS preserves a record of trilobite moulting unparalleled within other exceptionally preserved assemblages, representing a range of trilobite moulting behaviours, likely due to minimal water movement and relatively rapid burial within the biota’s unique inshore depositional setting. The unusual depositional setting of the EBS Lagerstätte seems to have had a minimal effect on the types of organisms present with the assemblage compared to other BST biotas. In contrast, this setting seems to have facilitated the preservation of an exceptional moulting record not found at other sites, including BST deposits. This, coupled with the unique preservation of certain structures such as eyes, confirms that the EBS is of great importance in… Advisors/Committee Members: Garcia-Bellido, Diego (advisor), Lee, Michael Soon Yoong (advisor), Bradshaw, Corey (advisor), School of Biological Sciences (school).

La croissance rapide du marché des télécommunications a conduit à une augmentation significative du nombre de bandes de fréquences allouées et à un besoin toujours plus grand en terminaux offrant un accès à un maximum de standards tout en proposant un maximum de services. La miniaturisation de ces appareils, combinée à la mise en place de fonctions supplémentaires, devient un vrai challenge pour les industriels. Une solution consiste à utiliser des fonctions hyperfréquences accordables (filtres, commutateurs, amplificateurs,…). A ce jour, trois technologies d'accord sont principalement utilisées : capacités variables, matériaux agiles ou encore MEMS RF. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous avons travaillé sur l’optimisation de dispositifs hyperfréquences reconfigurables en utilisant des couches minces ferroélectriques KTN et des diodes varactor. Nos premiers travaux étaient relatifs à l’optimisation des dispositifs hyperfréquences accordables à base de couche minces KTN. Dans ce sens, nous avons tout d’abord caractérisé le matériau KTN en basse et haute fréquence afin de déterminer ses caractéristiques diélectriques et ses caractéristiques en température. Nous avons ensuite réalisé des dispositifs hyperfréquence élémentaires tels des capacités interdigitées et des déphaseurs à base de KTN. Leurs performances ont alors été comparées aux mêmes dispositifs réalisés cette fois à base de la solution la plus utilisée BST. Bien qu’un léger avantage soit acquis à la solution BST, il n’en reste pas moins vrai que les résultats avec le matériau KTN sont très proches indiquant que cette voie peut également, après optimisation, apporter une alternative au BST. La seconde partie de nos travaux concerne la réalisation de filtres planaires accordables en fréquence à base de matériaux KTN et de diodes varactor. Nous avons ainsi réalisé deux filtres passe-bande accordables. Un premier filtre passe-bande de type « open loop » possédant deux pôles agiles en fréquence centrale et un second filtre passe-bande de type SIR rendant possible l’accord de sa fréquence centrale ainsi que de sa bande passante à partir de diodes varactor. Lors de la conclusion sur nos travaux, nous évoquons les suites à donner à ce travail et les perspectives.

The rapid growth of the telecommunications industry has led to a significant increase in the number of allocated frequency bands and a growing need for terminals providing access to an increasing number of standards while offering maximum services. The miniaturization of these devices combined with the implementation of additional functions has become a real challenge for the industry. The use of tunable microwave functions (filters, switches, amplifiers ...) appears as a solution to this issue. In this way, three main technologies are mainly used: variable capacitors, tunable materials and RF MEMS. Within the scope of this thesis work, our investigations focused on tunable microwave devices optimization through the use of KTN ferroelectric thin films and varactor diodes. The first part of our study deals…

Ce travail de thèse s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’intégration des films minces ferroélectriques de BaxSr(1-x)TiO3 au sein de dispositifs microondes. Dans un premier temps, les caractéristiques diélectriques des films de B0.3S0.7TiO3 déposés par pulvérisation cathodique ont été déterminées. Il a été mis en évidence l’intérêt d’une couche tampon dans le contrôle de l’orientation des films ainsi que son impact dans l’évolution des propriétés diélectriques. L’utilisation d’une structure coplanaire optimisée a été utilisée dans le but de déterminer les évolutions fréquentielles de la permittivité, des pertes ainsi que de l’accordabilité jusqu’à 67 GHz. La caractérisation du matériau a permis la réalisation et la qualification de l’élément de base dans la conception de dispositifs microondes accordables : la capacité ferroélectrique. Le phénomène d’agilité a été mis en exergue au sein de cette structure.Par la suite, une analyse complète a été menée sur un dispositif de type résonateur. Une étude analytique couplée à la réalisation de démonstrateur a permis de mettre en évidence la configuration nous permettant d’exploiter au mieux les propriétés des films de BST.

This work is dedicated to the integration of ferroelectric BaxSr(1-x)TiO3 thin films in microwave devices. Initially, the dielectric properties of B0.3S0.7TiO3 films deposited by radiofrequency magnetron sputtering were determined. It has been demonstrated the influence of a buffer layer in the control of orientation films and the impact in the evolution of dielectric properties. The realization of optimized coplanar waveguide has permit to determine the frequency evolution of permittivity, loss factor and tunability up to 67 GHz. The characterization of the dielectric properties has enabled the realization and qualification of the basic element in the design of tunable microwave devices: the ferroelectric capacitance. The agility property has been highlighted within this structure. Subsequently, a complete analysis was conducted on a resonator. An analytical study coupled with the demonstrator realization highlighted the configuration allowing us to exploit the properties of BST films.

▼ Galactopoietic effects of somatotropin are the result of IGF-I and require high-quality nutrient intake. This study investigated short-term partitioning effects during recombinant bovine somatotropin (bST) administration in high yielding early lactation dairy cows. Administration of recombinant bST has been shown generally to alter results of metabolic tests in the face of unchanged basal glucose and insulin concentrations. Ten multiparous Holstein cows were subjected to rbST (Lactotropin®) and/or feed intake restriction to 80% of predicted ME requirement (80% ME). Responses to insulin challenge (0.1 IU porcine insulin/kg BW. 210 min) and hyperglycaemic clamp (+50 mg/dL whole blood, 120 min) were tested during weeks 8 (control), 9 (rbST ), 11 (80% ME) and 12 (rbST + 80% ME) postpartum. Plasma and whole blood samples were assayed for glucose concentrations. The rbST treatment decreased fasting whole-blood glucose concentration by 9.4% (P<0.0001), which was likely a remnant of control hyperglycaemia. Maximum glucose response was 4.0 mg/dL (21.7%) lower (P<0.0038) and took 6.5 minutes longer to attain (P<0.0037). Steady-state glucose infusion rate (SSGIR) decreased by 8.1 % (P<0.0001). The 80% ME treatment decreased glucose availability by 5 to 6% (P<0.0100), while no glucose responses were affected. Restricted energy intake during treatment with rbST resulted in plasma glucose increase by 5.5% (P<0.0001). Peripheral uptake and utilization of glucose increased by 5.1 % (P<0.0005). Compared to energy restriction, 80%ME + rbST did not alter effects of nutrient restriction on responses to exogenous insulin challenge. Effects were small and inconsistent. SSGIR decreased by 5.0% in the 80% ME + rbST compared to the 80% ME period (P<0.0004) and the change in the hyperglycaemic clamp in the absence of an effect in the insulin challenge may be due to differences in endogenous insulin secretion. The conclusion was that rbST treatment resulted in altered glucose metabolic responses, even with restricted energy intake. Advisors/Committee Members: Prof N H Casey (advisor).

▼ Multi-standard smartphones have become ubiquitous in everyday life. Such systems operate under different communication standards (2G, 3G, 4G-LTE, WLAN, GPS, Bluetooth, etc.) at different frequencies. Compact and high-performance filters are indispensable for RF front-ends in mobile phones, and RF bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters, based on piezoelectric film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs), have become prevalent. Moreover, due to the upcoming Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G, the demand for new technologies that can be employed to design switchable/tunable filters has increased. This dissertation presents one of the new promising technologies, known as intrinsically-switchable BAW filters employing newly-investigated electrostrictive effect in BST thin films. Successful implementation of switchable filters would eliminate/minimize external switches in the design of filter banks, thus leading to significant reduction in their size, cost, and complexity. Contributions of this work are categorized into three major parts. First, the nonlinear circuit modeling procedure for BST FBARs is presented. The nonlinear circuit model, essential for the material characterization and device characterization including linearity analysis, is developed based on the physics of electrostriction-based intrinsically switchable FBARs. Modeling results are in close agreement with dc-bias-voltage and RF-power-level dependent measurement results for BST FBARs. Second, the design methods for BST-on-Si composite FBARs are presented. The designed composite FBAR shows a record Q of 970 at 2.5 GHz among switchable BST resonators. Temperature-dependent characteristics of BST-on-Si composite FBAR devices are also presented with the measured TCF of -35 ppm/K. Furthermore, a raised-frame technique, which has been used to eliminate lateral-wave spurious-modes in piezoelectric BAW resonators, is first employed for switchable ferroelectric FBARs, demonstrating the effectiveness of the frame technique. Finally, the design method for intrinsically switchable BST FBAR filters is presented. The filter design method for ladder-type BAW filters is developed based on image parameters. Closed-form equations are derived for the first time enabling one to accurately design BAW filters. A systematically-designed pi-type BST FBAR filter is fabricated and measured, exhibiting a 1.22% bandwidth at 1.97 GHz with an isolation of greater than 22 dB, having a very small device size of 0.021 mm2.

▼ The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) is a basal forebrain cluster of several distinct nuclei. It has been proposed that the BST coordinates autonomic, neuroendocrine, and behavioral functions through the integration and organization of homeostatic responses necessary for survival. Dysfunction of the BST contributes to pathophysiological states such as addiction, anxiety and aggression. Based on anatomical and behavioral studies, the BST could be a key contributor to descending modulation of nociception as well as the physiological responses related to the affective aspect of the pain experience. The objective of the present study was to further understand the neurophysiological bases underlying the involvement of the 7 anterior nuclei of the BST in pain. Using c-Fos as an indicator of neuronal activation, the results demonstrate that acute noxious stimulation produced an increase in the number of c-Fos immunoreactive cells (c-Fos-IR) in the dorsal anteromedial (dAM) and fusiform (FU) nuclei, while non-noxious stimulation did not increase c-Fos-IR in any of the nuclei examined. Chronic neuropathic pain induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) did not alter basal c-Fos-IR in the FU or dAM. Unlike in the naïve condition, the number of c-fos-IR cells in the FU induced by acute noxious stimulation was attenuated in animals with either CCI or sham surgery compared to naive rats. In contrast, c-Fos-IR induced by acute noxious stimulation in the dAM was not affected by CCI or sham surgery. Acute noxious stimulation in animals that received CCI exhibited increased c-Fos expression in the ventromedial (vAM) nucleus of the BST, a finding not evident in naïve or sham control groups. Finally, there was an increase in c-Fos-IR in the oval (OV) nucleus of sham-operated, but not naive or CCI rats. This study reveals for the first time that pain induces neuronal activity in the BST in a nuclei- and condition-specific way. Given the efferent projection patterns from the BST, this system may relay supraspinal information to the periphery to produce physiological responses related to the affective pain experience.

▼ Interleukins, cytokines secreted by leukocytes, are predominant messengers modulating immune responses. Interleukin-27 (IL-27), a key immunomodulatory cytokine, functions to induce both pro- and anti-inflammatory effects in various immune cells. IL-27 is a heterodimeric cytokine, composed of IL-27p28 and Epstein-Bar virus induced gene 3 (EBI3) subunits, and binds to a receptor composed of IL-27Rα (WSX-1) and gp130. Initial studies focused on describing IL-27 functions in skewing T helper cell development to a Th1 response, with few reports on functions in monocytes. Thus, in this thesis, I aimed to characterize novel functions of IL-27 in innate immune responses of monocytes. I initially established that IL-27 induced a pro-inflammatory cytokine profile (IL-6, IP-10, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and TNF-α) mediated via STAT1/3 and NF-κB signaling pathways. Further investigation led to the discovery that IL-27 could enhance LPS responses via upregulation of TLR4 expression and NF-κB signaling. Together, these studies described novel signaling mechanisms (NF-κB and JAK/STAT crosstalk) and gene targets (cytokines and TLR4) of IL-27 that drive inflammatory responses. In continuing the quest for novel IL-27 functions in innate immunity, I reported IL-27 can upregulate expression of the IFN-responsive, antiviral protein called BST-2. My results showing IL-27-induced expression of BST-2 mRNA and cell surface protein were supported by previous studies reporting IL-27-induced expression of other antiviral molecules. Furthermore, previous studies showed IL-27 could inhibit HIV replication via antiviral gene induction, pointing to potential for IL-27 immunotherapies. In light of the posited role for IL-27 in therapeutics, it became inherently critical to describe how IL-27 functions in the setting of HIV infection. Thus, in my final thesis chapters, I described the effect of HIV infection on IL-27 expression and functions, addressing a substantial void in literature. Interestingly, a trend of decreased IL-27 expression and significant impairment of IL-27-induced gene expression was observed in HIV infection. Therefore, decreased circulating IL-27 and decreased IL-27 responsiveness may collectively dysregulate IL-27 function in HIV. This thesis describes novel, IL-27-driven, proinflammatory responses, and highlights impairment of IL-27 function in HIV infection. This work bridged a gap in knowledge of IL-27 functions in monocytes and highlighted multifaceted mechanisms underlying immunoregulation by IL-27.

▼ Abstract The recent trend in low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology is to integrate more elements into multilayer modules. This thesis describes work specifically aimed at developing ferroelectric barium strontium titanate (BST) for integration into such modules. In particular, an objective was the development of a novel, electric field controlled, tunable component to be used at microwave frequencies (2–26 GHz). For the application envisaged, relative permittivity is required to be low (100–1000) and adjustable by a suitable applied electric field, the dissipation factor at room temperature must be low (~0.001) at 2–26 GHz, and most importantly, the sintering temperature must be suited to the LTCC technology (~900 °C) Initial work was focused on sol-gel derived Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 powders with boron oxide addition, which were sintered at 900 °C, the dissipation factor was 0.006. The dissipation factor was not low enough for the desired microwave application, and attention turned to powders prepared by the mixed-oxide route. The Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 powders, fluxed with the optimum amounts of boron oxide and lithium carbonate, could be sintered at 890 °C to the same density as is achieved with un-fluxed Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 sintered at 1360 °C. The dissipation factor for this fluxed powder was acceptably low, although permittivity was too high for the particular objective. Subsequently, research was on BST modified by magnesia, 0.4Ba0.55Sr0.45TiO3-0.6MgO (BSTM). With the optimum fluxing additives, the sintering temperature necessary to achieve a dense BSTM-based ceramic was reduced to 950 °C. The developed microstructure was good, and the relative permittivity and dissipation factor values (221, 0.0012 at 1 kHz) at room temperature indicated good microwave properties. Studies were also undertaken with organic-based tape-casting slurries, laminating procedures and burn-out and sintering schedules. Several kinds of tapes were fabricated and characterized. A test structure for the measurement of dielectric properties at 26 GHz of the optimized BSTM-based ceramic was constructed. The specimen was 50 μm thick layer of BST on an alumina substrate. The relative permittivity and tunability were 130 and >15 % at 4 V μm-1 at room temperature. A tunable phase-shifter was fabricated from the same BSTM-based tape using a novel gravure printing technique, and measurements at 26 GHz showed phase shift from 10 to 35° when the electric field was increased from 1 V μm-1 to 2.5 V μm-1. Some exploratory experiments are described to assess the compatibility of the developed BST-based LTCC with commercial LTCC and some electroceramics.

▼ The Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 2 (HIV-2) is the second etiologic agent causing AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) in the human host. However, this retrovirus may be considered as an attenuated model of retroviral infection since the HIV-2-infected individuals show a longer asymptomatic phase, lower plasmatic viral loads without antiviral therapy, and do not experience AIDS-like symptoms in 60-70% of cases, in striking contrast with HIV-1-infected patients. HIV-2-positive individuals appear to control the virus replication and the main hypothesis that could explain this phenotype is a strong T cell-mediated immunity and a robust early innate immune response against HIV-2. In this thesis research project, we focus on a host restriction factor involved in the antiviral immune response: BST-2/Tetherin. This interferon (IFN)-inducible protein is able to retain the budding virions at the plasma membrane of the infected cells, and promotes the endocytosis and degradation of the “tethered” viral particle. HIVs have evolved means to counteract BST-2/Tetherin in order to ensure the viral dissemination in the human host. HIV-1 uses the accessory Vpu protein to bind and degrade BST-2/Tetherin, whereas HIV-2 - that lacks Vpu - relies on its envelope (Env) glycoprotein. It has been reported that the HIV-2 envelope glycoproteins bind and remove BST-2 from the cell membrane, but this countermeasure does not result in the degradation of BST-2. HIV-2 Env and BST-2 interact mainly through their ectodomain. However, little was known concerning the domain in the Env protein that can exert this function. During this research project, we first revealed the precise motif within the ectodomain of HIV-2 Env protein involved in the anti-tetherin function. Indeed, we demonstrated that the N659 residue is clearly involved in the antagonism of BST-2/Tetherin. We also showed that the cytoplasmic tail (CT) of the HIV-2 Env protein cooperates in this anti-tetherin function. BST-2/Tetherin can also prime the expression of numerous antiviral genes via the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway - a key regulator of the innate and adaptive immune response toward viral pathogens. The activation of the NF-κB transcription factor results in the expression of numerous genes involved in the antiviral response. Interestingly, we demonstrated that the HIV-2 Env glycoprotein, like HIV-1 Env, acts as a potent activator of the NF-κB signaling pathway and that the HIV-2 Env CT is involved in this activation. However, while HIV-1 Vpu completely abolishes the activation of NF-κB at the late stages of infection mainly through the potent antagonism of BST-2, we revealed that HIV-2 is unable to inhibit NF-κB primarily due to the inefficient Env-mediated BST-2 antagonism. As a consequence, numerous antiviral genes are upregulated during the late stages of the HIV-2 viral cycle, as compared with HIV-1. Thus, we may conclude that the differential regulation of the NF-κB-mediated antiviral response - through the viral countermeasure of the BST-2… Advisors/Committee Members: UCL - SSS/IREC/MBLG - Pôle de Microbiologie médicale, UCL - Faculté de médecine et médecine dentaire, Goubau, Patrick, Michiels, Thomas, Leclercq, Isabelle, Verhasselt, Bruno, Devaux, Carole, Kabamba-Mukadi, Benoit, Ruelle, Jean.

▼ The improper balance or the maintenance of a chronic immune response can produce adverse effects on organs and systems and prone to diseases. Therefore, the regulatory mechanisms of the immune response are key factors to maintain an optimal health status and to follow a healthy aging. The capacity to produce an immune response against pathogens or tumour cells is partially determined by the genetic background of the individual. Genetic association studies have been useful to identify variants of immune response genes involved in diseases ranging from cancer or cardiovascular disease to infections such as tuberculosis or HIV-‐1. In this thesis we have studied the variability of immune response genes and their role in two models: the HIV-‐1 infection and the natural aging process. In the first model it has been studied the variability of BST-‐2 gene, which is an HIV restriction factor, and CYP27B1, GC and VDR genes, that are involved in the synthesis, transport and genomic action of vitamin D, hormone that modulates the immune response. In the second model, we have also evaluated the effect of VDR gene variability as well as RANTES and CCR5 gene variants, both involved in mediating the inflammatory response. In the model of the HIV-‐1 infection we have identified two variants of BST-‐2 gene associated with progression, one that captures the variability of the genomic region and the other with potential functional effect. In the study of VDR, CYP27B1 and GC gene variants related to progression rates we have confirmed and extended the number of VDR gene markers showing association with progression. The VDR gene haplotype combinations that are associated with progression are those that optimize the response to vitamin D. These results should be interpreted as a con to the dual role of vitamin D in the modulation of the immune response. The association with progression of the identified variants is significantly increased in patients enrolled in the pre-‐HAART (before 1997). In the model of aging, VDR gene variants were most associated with healthy aging in men. The associated variants are those that confer an intermediate responsiveness to vitamin D. This reveals the role of vitamin D in aging and emphasizes the role of genetic background in determining optimal levels of vitamin D for healthy aging. In relation to polymorphisms of CCR5 and RANTES genes we do not found significant association for the CCR5 locus, although the results show a higher prevalence of non-‐functional variant, and thus a poorer mediator of the inflammatory response, in long-‐lived individuals. In relation to RANTES gene variants, the results indicate a sex-‐specific association suggesting the existence of a genetic determinant of RANTES that predisposes to a proinflammatory phenotype in males and an anti-‐inflammatory phenotype in females.
