▼ The spine may become unstable and fragile due to aging, trauma, or congenital defects. The instability of the spine potentially causes compression on the spinal cord, which leads to permanent damage and paralysis. In order to reduce the risk of functional impairment, the current surgical treatment is spinal fusion. Spinal fusion is the most common operating room (OR) procedure among all age groups. However, the procedure has the highest total OR cost in the United States, and the high failure rate is due to non-union (Weiss et al. 2014, Rajaee et al. 2012, Stranges et al. 2009). Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) or vacuum assisted closure (VAC) has shown superior clinical results when used in combination with biomaterials to accelerate wound healing in treating complicated wound with exposed bone (Wijewardena et al. 2011, DeFranzo et al. 2001). However, NPWT is not established as a treatment modality for orthopedic application and its mechanistic pathways of action on cellular activities is unknown. To support proper bone healing, the goal of this study is to test the central hypothesis that an elastic osteoid mimetic bone repair material fabricated by electrospinning using composites of type I collagen (Col I), poly (1,8-octanediol citrate) (POC), and chondroitin 6-sulfate (CS) named material (BRM), or subatmospheric pressure, or synergy of both promote osteoblast proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Results indicated that osteoblast proliferation significantly increased when cultured under subatmospheric pressure. The osteogenic gene expression of Runx2, OSX, ALP, OPN, COL1A2, and HIF-1α were elevated in fully differentiated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which were cultured on BRM and treated with subatmospheric pressure. When BRM and/or NPWT were implemented in rabbit and sheep models, the bone repair measured from CT images provided evidences for feasibly applying NPWT to repair bone with BRM electrospun materials. The in vitro and in vivo systems in this study suggest that there is a significant interaction of using BRM with NPWT for osteogenesis. Developing biomaterials with affinity to cells and soluble factors driven by pressure gradient could ultimately translate to safe and cost-effective clinical applications that accelerate bone healing for spinal fusion.

▼ Bugs in code continue to pose a fundamental problem for software reliability and cause expensive failures. The process of removing known bugs is termed debugging, which is a classic methodology commonly performed before code is deployed. Traditionally, debugging is tedious, often requiring much manual effort. A more recent technique that complements debugging is data structure repair, which handles bugs that make it to deployed systems and lead to erroneous behavior at runtime by modifying erroneous program states to recover from errors. While data structure repair presents a promising basis for dealing with bugs at runtime, it remains computationally expensive. Our thesis is that debugging and data structure repair can be integrated to provide the basis of an effective approach for removing bugs before code is deployed and handling them after it is deployed. We present a bi-directional integration where ideas at the basis of data structure repair assist in automating debugging and vice versa. Our key insight is two-fold: (1)a repair action performed to mutate an erroneous object field value to repair it can be abstracted into a program statement that performs that update correctly; and (2)repair actions that are performed repeatedly to fix the same error can be memoized and re-used. We design, develop, and evaluate two techniques that embody our insight. One, we present an automated debugging technique that leverages a systematic constraint-based data structure repair technique developed in previous work and provides suggestions on how to fix a faulty program. Two, we present repair abstractions that are based on the same central ideas as in our automated debugging technique and memoize how an erroneous state was repaired, which enables prioritizing and re-using repair actions when the same error occurs again. The focus of our work is programs that operate on structurally complex data, e.g., heap-allocated data structures that have complex structural integrity constraints, such as acyclicity. Checking such constraints plays a central role in the techniques that lay at the foundation of our work. These techniques require the user to provide the constraints, which poses a burden on the user. To facilitate the use of constraint-based techniques, we present a third technique to check constraint violations at runtime using graph spectra, which have been studied extensively by mathematicians to capture properties of graphs. We view the heap of an object-oriented program as an edge-labeled graph, which allows us to apply results from graph spectra theory. Experimental results show the effectiveness of using graph spectra as a basis of capturing structural properties of a class of commonly used data structures.

▼

Base excision repair (BER) is one of the primary means by which cells cope with genotoxic stress and DNA damage. BER is carried out by a series of enzymes which excise a damaged base from a DNA strand and replace it with an undamaged base. The importance of BER to the maintenance of genomic integrity, cellular health, and the health of an individual cannot be overstated. Numerous diseases, particularly cancer, have been correlated to BER deficiencies in several ways. 1) Increased disease risk has been correlated to elevated levels of highly mutagenic lesions repaired exclusively by the BER pathway. Elevated tissue levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which generate such lesions has likewise been correlated to increased disease risk. 2) Some functional variants of BER enzymes have been shown to be correlated with elevated disease risk. 3) Tumor cells have been shown to express BER enzymes at altered levels compared to surrounding healthy tissue.Although the correlation between BER deficiency and disease risk has been thoroughly demonstrated it has not been well characterized. An unrepaired DNA lesion can lead to mutagenesis. Yet all cells cope with thousands of potentially mutagenic lesions each day, the majority of which are repaired without incident. Simply stated, mutagenesis can occur when a cell faces a damage load which exceeds its repair capacity. Therefore the need to characterize the quantitative relationships that govern repair capacity is central to understanding the development of diseases triggered by mutagenesis.To this end I have created a formal model of the BER pathway. To test the model, I established protocols for DNA damage measurement in cultured human cells using single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE). I developed novel software for the quantitation of SCGE data. In order to measure the system response following a perturbation, I created three cell lines deficient in the critical BER enzyme polymerase β (polβ) using RNA interference (RNAi) on HEK 293t cells. Polβ knockdown was confirmed and quantified with Western blotting. Repair curves were generated for wild type and knockdown cell lines using SCGE. Model validity was tested by comparing model predictions and experimental results.

▼ The DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway is compromised of several enzymes, including DNA glycosylases, apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease 1 (APE1), DNA polymerase β (pol β) and a DNA ligase, and is responsible for repairing single nucleobase and AP site lesions. These enzymes must complete their required task and coordinate with one another to faithfully repair DNA. Deficiencies and incorrect coordination of BER enzymes has been linked to development of several cancers and neurological disorders. Repair of an 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8oxoG) lesion within the CAG trinucleotide repeat tract of the huntingtin gene by BER, is implicated in expansion of the repeat tract leading to Huntington’s disease (HD). In this work, we employ transient-state and steady-state kinetic techniques to provide insight into the molecular mechanisms and substrate specificity of BER enzymes to better understand the disorders that arise due to incorrect repair. Moreover, we center our work on examining kinetics of BER enzymes on CAG repeat containing DNA to provide insight into the molecular mechanism of repeat expansion seen in HD. Through examination of kinetics of removal of an 8oxoG lesion by the DNA glycosylase oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1) from CAG repeat and non-repetitive sequences, and of coordination of OGG1 with APE1, we revealed that BER is initiated by OGG1 and coordinated with APE1 on CAG repeat sequences as well as on non-repetitive sequences. We further examined kinetics of APE1 cleaving DNA on authentic DNA substrates, and commonly used DNA analogs. Kinetics revealed APE1 incises DNA at rate ≥ 700 s-1, making APE1 one of the faster BER enzymes. We observed differences in the rate of APE1 incision on authentic DNA substrate, compared to commonly used analogs. Finally, we examined kinetics of pol β incorporating single and multiple nucleotides on CAG repeat and non-repetitive DNA sequences. While we observed similar kinetics for pol β single-nucleotide incorporation on CAG repeat and non-repetitive sequences, we observed difference in multinucleotide incorporation on CAG repeat versus non-repetitive sequences. The experiments performed here expand our understanding of the action of several BER enzymes, and provide further insight into the molecular mechanism of CAG repeat expansion seen in HD.

▼ Composite manufacturing often requires repairs at some point during the life of the part. Working with LM Wind Power, the Chemical and Mechanical Engineering Departments at the University of North Dakota worked to develop a new laminate repair system to be used in composite repairs. Both chemical and mechanical test methods were explored to analyze various resins in an attempt to increase the interface toughness between the parent laminate and repair laminate. A total of six resins from four suppliers were tested. Differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical rheological testing were performed to analyze the curing kinetics of each resin tested. Static double cantilever beam and tension-tension fatigue tests were performed to measure the mechanical performance of each resin. All specimens were prepared to mimic that of a large-scale wind turbine blade. Each resin tested was compared to the current repair resin system to determine which choice was best to meet the requirements set for by LM Wind Power for repair laminate improvement. The results indicated that toughened resin performance is superior to that of the current resin system. Along with the analysis of new repair resins, an initiator study was performed. The initiator study was done on the blade resin used for vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM). Four initiators were tested and compared to the current initiator. Methods included differential scanning calorimetry and rheology. The goal with testing these initiators was to see if changing the initiator would increase the working time while decreasing the overall curing time. To achieve this, the initial viscosity of the resin needed to remain low to ensure a full wet out of the part and once wet out was complete a sharp increase in viscosity would indicate a fast cure. Of the initiators tested, Pulcat from Syrgis Performance Initiators performed better than the others. However, without testing it in production, it is unclear whether or not it is superior to the current initiator MCP-75. Advisors/Committee Members: Brian M. Tande.

▼ Repair is a ubiquitous process in nature, and it is one of the many features of biological materials that humans are constantly attempting to recreate. Though the process of repair has been studied in mammals, very little work has been done on other organisms, despite mammals representing just a minuscule percentage of global biodiversity. This thesis bridges some of these gaps in the knowledge, focusing of the repair process in two different organisms, the desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) and the common limpet (Patella vulgata). For the locusts a link was drawn between age and repair capabilities, similar to that observed in mammals, finding that older insects are less capable of repair. Both young and old insects repair damage by the deposition of fresh material. Older cuticle was also found to have a decreased fracture toughness. This has implications for energy storage for jumping manoeuvres which was found to involve the deformation of the stiff tibial cuticle. This deformation causes microdamage to the cuticle, in addition to the viscoelastic changes in behaviour, and poses the potential risk of fatigue failure in cuticle. This damage is repaired in a week, similar to the repair of microcracks in bone. The fracture toughness of the limpet shells was similarly evaluated and found to be much higher than that of its main component, calcium carbonate. Several toughening mechanisms that help to achieve this were identified. The limpets were also found to be similarly susceptible to fatigue failure, though some remodelling process may be occurring. The limpets are also capable to repairing damage to their shells, and like the locusts they achieve this by depositing fresh material, though another unidentified mechanism is at work. Throughout this thesis comparisons were made to repair in mammalian bone. Bone has been very thoroughly studied and the mechanisms of repair are well understood. Several of the effects discussed in this thesis mirror effects observed in bone. Consequently, comparisons to bone are drawn to give greater context and enable discussion about the studies.

▼ In animals, both stress resistance and longevity appear to be influenced by the insulin/insulin-like growth factor-l signaling (lIS) pathway, the basic organization of which is highly conserved from invertebrates to vertebrates. Reduced lIS or genetic disruption of the lIS pathway leads to the activation of forkhead box transcription factors, which is thought to upregulate the expression of genes involved in enhancing stress resistance, including perhaps key antioxidant enzymes as well as DNA repair enzymes. Enhanced antioxidant and DNA repair capacities may underlie the enhanced cellular stress resistance observed in long-lived animals, however little data is available that directly supports this idea. I used three. experimental approaches to test the association of intracellular antioxidant and DNA base excision repair (BER) capacities with stress resistance and longevity: (1) a comparison of multiple vertebrate endotherm species of varying body masses and longevities; (2) a comparison of long-lived Snell dwarf mice and their normallittermates; and (3) a comparison of hypometabolic animals undergoing hibernation or estivation with their active counterparts. The activities of the five major intracellular antioxidant enzymes as well as the two rate-limiting enzymes in the BER pathway, apurininc/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease and polymerase ~, were measured. These measurements were performed in one or more of the following: (1) cultured dermal fibroblasts; (2) brain tissue; (3) heart tissue; (4) liver tissue. My results indicate that antioxidant enzymes are not universally upregulated in association with enhanced stress resistance and longevity. I also did not find that BER enzyme activity was positively correlated with longevity, in an inter-species context, though there was evidence for enhanced BER in long-lived Snell dwarf mice. Thus, while there were instances in which enhanced antioxidant and BER enzyme activities were associated with increased stress resistance and/or longevity, this was not universally the case, indicating that other mechanisms must be involved. These results suggest the need to re-examine existing 'oxidative stress' hypotheses of longevity and probe further into the molecular physiology of longevity to discover its mechanistic basis.

▼ In response to DNA damage, many repair and signaling molecules mobilize rapidly to the sites of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). This network of immediate responses is regulated at the level of post-translational modifications to coordinate DNA repair and checkpoint signaling. Here we investigate the DNA damage-induced oligomeric transitions of the Sae2 protein, an important enzyme in the initiation of DSB repair. Sae2 is a target of multiple phosphorylation events, which we identify and characterize in vivo in budding yeast. Both cell cycle-dependent and DNA damage-induced phosphorylation of Sae2 are important for the cell survival after DNA damage, and the cell cycle-regulated modifications are required to prime the damage-dependent events. We find that Sae2 exists in the form of inactive oligomers that are transiently released into smaller active units by these series of phosphorylation events. DNA damage also triggers removal of Sae2 through autophagy and proteasomal degradation, ensuring that active Sae2 is present only transiently in cells. This analysis provides evidence for a novel type of protein regulation where the activity of an enzyme is controlled dynamically by post-translational modifications that regulate its solubility and oligomeric state. Budding yeast Ess1 is a phosphorylation-specific prolyl isomerase. Its human homolog Pin1 is found to isomerize CtIP, the human functional ortholog of Sae2, and promote the proteasomal degradation of CtIP. However, I could neither detect any interaction between Ess1 and Sae2, nor observe any change in Sae2 protein level while overexpressing wild-type or mutant Ess1, suggesting Ess1 does not act on Sae2, like Pin1 does on CtIP. The increased DNA damage sensitivity of Ess1 mutants indicates that Ess1 is involved in DNA repair, but not related to Sae2. Since Ess1 plays an important role in transcription termination together with a RNA 3’ end processing factor Pcf11, I overexpressed wild-type Pcf11 and found it significantly increased the DNA damage resistance of either wild-type or H164R mutant Ess1 cells, and also the sae2Δ cells. These results imply that Ess1, Pcf11 and Sae2 might contribute to DNA damage repair through transcription termination, which links transcription termination and DNA damage repair together.

▼ ABSTRACT Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a highly conserved DNA repair mechanism which deals with a wide variety of bulky, helix-distorting lesions, such as UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). NER is traditionally grouped into two pathways: global genomic repair (GGR), which is operative throughout the genome, and transcription coupled repair (TCR), which is dedicated to rapid repair of the transcribed strand of actively transcribed genes. Though most of the core NER proteins are known, the exact biochemical mechanism of eukaryotic NER remains elusive. This dissertation focused on identifying novel core and accessory factors which function in NER. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, GGR has previously been shown to be dependent on Rad7 and Rad16. We revealed Elc1, the yeast homolog of human elongin C, as a novel GGR-specific factor. Elc1 is required for GGR, but has no role in TCR. The precise role of Elc1 in GGR remains unknown. Dot1 is a histone methyltransferase whose sole substrate is histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79). We identified Dot1 as another GGR-specific factor, as deletion of Dot1 or mutation of H3K79 abolishes GGR, but has no effect on TCR. H3K79 can accept up to 3 methyl groups, but Dot1 can only add one by itself. The PAF transcription elongation complex, through facilitating histone modifications, is partially required for dimethylation and fully required for trimethylation of H3K79 by Dot1. We demonstrated that through facilitating these histone modifications, PAF is partially required for GGR. TCR is believed to be triggered by a stalled elongating RNA polymerase II (Pol II) complex. Rad26, the homolog of the human CSB gene, and Rpb9, a nonessential subunit of Pol II, play important roles in TCR. We identified a dual role for PAF in TCR. In the presence of Rad26, PAF plays a positive role, facilitating TCR. In the absence of Rad26, PAF functions as a suppressor of TCR. PAF appears to be a part of a “megasuppressor” complex which includes Rpb4 and the Spt4/Spt5 complex, which also suppress Rad26-independent TCR. The interactions among Pol II, Rad26 and the various TCR suppressors remain to be elucidated.

▼ In eukaryotic cells, DNA is packaged into chromatin by the histone proteins. The bulk of histone synthesis occurs in S-phase in order to package the nascent DNA. Thus, the core histones, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 and the linker histone H1 are termed the replication-dependent histones. The expression of the replication-dependent histones is coordinately controlled and tightly coupled to DNA replication in S-phase. It is clear that coordination and coupling are critical. Perturbations to coordination result in chromosome loss and uncoupling of histone gene expression from DNA replication lead to developmental arrest. The mechanisms through which coordination is achieved are poorly understood. It has been shown previously that the cyclin E/Cdk2 substrate NPAT plays an essential role in activating transcription of all of the replication-dependent histone genes at the G1-S transition. Here we show that NPAT regulates the transcription of the replication-dependent histone genes through a novel amino acid motif that is functionally conserved in E2F and E1A proteins. Through this motif, NPAT interacts with members of the Tip60 histone acetyltransferase complex. Two members of this complex, TRRAP and Tip60, are recruited to replication-dependent histone gene promoters at the G1-S transition, in an NPAT-dependent manner. Concurrent with the recruitment of TRRAP and Tip60 to these promoters, levels of histone H4 acetylation are increased. Additionally, the suppression of TRRAP or Tip60 by RNAi, inhibits the activation of these promoters. These data show that NPAT regulates the transcription of the replication-dependent histone genes through the recruitment of the Tip60 histone acetyltransferase complex to these promoters at the G1-S transition, thus inducing histone H4 acetylation and gene expression. Eukaryotes have evolved a complex DNA damage response that integrates mechanisms of DNA surveillance and repair with the induction of proliferative arrest via cell cycle checkpoints. Defects in the detection and repair of DNA lesions have been implicated in a number of human malignancies. DNA double-strand breaks, which are a severe threat to genomic stability, are primarily repaired by either homology-directed recombination (HR) or non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) in eukaryotic cells. In addition to the role of NPAT in replication-dependent histone gene expression, several pieces of evidence indicate that NPAT plays a critical role in DNA double-strand break repair. We have observed that NPAT interacts with a number of proteins involved in DNA double-strand break repair. Notably, NPAT-deficient cells exhibit delayed kinetics of DNA repair and prolonged accumulation of phosphorylated histone H2AX, a marker for damaged DNA. Furthermore, suppression of NPAT expression by NPAT-specific shRNA leads to decreased repair by HR and NHEJ, as well as decreased accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins and several repair factors at the sites of DNA lesions. These results demonstrate a novel function of NPAT in DNA double-strand break repair in…

▼ Computational analysis and design has become a fundamental part of product research, development, and manufacture in aerospace, automotive, and other industries. In general the success of the specific application depends heavily on the accuracy and consistency of the computational model used. The aim of this work is to reduce the time needed to prepare geometry for mesh generation. This will be accomplished by developing tools that semi-automatically repair discrete data. Providing a level of automation to the process of repairing large, complex problems in discrete data will significantly accelerate the grid generation process. The developed algorithms are meant to offer semi-automated solutions to complicated geometrical problemsspecifically discrete mesh intersections and isolated boundaries. The intersection-repair strategy presented here focuses on repairing the intersection in-place as opposed to re-discretizing the intersecting geometries. Combining robust, efficient methods of detecting intersections and then repairing intersecting geometries in-place produces a significant improvement over techniques used in current literature. The result of this intersection process is a non-manifold, non-intersecting geometry that is free of duplicate and degenerate geometry. Results are presented showing the accuracy and consistency of the intersection repair tool. Isolated boundaries are a type of gap that current research does not address directly. They are defined by discrete boundary edges that are unable to be paired with nearby discrete boundary edges in order to fill the existing gap. In this research the method of repair seeks to fill the gap by extruding the isolated boundary along a defined vector so that it is topologically adjacent to a nearby surface. The outcome of the repair process is that the isolated boundaries no longer exist because the gap has been filled. Results are presented showing the precision of the edge projection and the advantage of edge splitting in the repair of isolated boundaries.

▼ Topoisomerase II-beta binding protein 1 (TopBP1) is a critical regulatory protein that integrates diverse signals in the DNA damage response. In response to DNA replication stress, TopBP1 participates in a series of protein interactions to collectively activate the key Ser/Thr kinase, Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3 related (ATR), and control the DNA replication checkpoint. These phosphorylation-dependent interactions are mediated by the numerous conserved BRCT domains within TopBP1. Our studies utilize X-ray crystallography in combination with other biochemical and biophysical techniques to elucidate the molecular basis underlying various TopBP1 BRCT-mediated interactions in DNA damage response signalling. Contrary to previous studies suggesting that the single BRCT6 domain of TopBP1 recognizes a phospho-peptide of the transcription factor, E2F1, and binds to poly(ADP-ribose) chains, the crystal structure of BRCT6 provides evidence that both the phospho-peptide binding pocket and PAR-binding motif are non-functional. Our studies of distinct phospho-peptide interactions involving the tandem BRCT7/8 and BRCT4/5 repeats of TopBP1 shed light on critical interactions required for activation of ATR and the DNA replication checkpoint. In addition, the mode of phospho-peptide recognition presented by these BRCT repeats uncover new and exciting perspectives in BRCT domain function that were previously unknown. Analysis of the structures of TopBP1 BRCT7/8 and in complex with a BACH1 phospho-peptide provides the first demonstration of pThr specificity and an uncharacteristic plasticity at the BRCT domain interface for canonical tandem BRCT domains. Our structural investigations of interactions between TopBP1 BRCT4/5 and a MDC1 phospho-peptide reveal a novel tandem BRCT domain packing arrangement, as well as an unexpected dimerization of two BRCT4/5 domains needed to stabilize interactions with a single phospho-peptide. Taken together, our studies of TopBP1 BRCT domain interactions provide molecular insights into crucial protein interactions involved in DNA replication checkpoint signalling and also highlight the extraordinary functional diversity of BRCT domains.

▼ More than two million women in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa live with untreated obstetric fistula (OF). Factors contributing to and affecting the care of OF are embedded in the social determinants of health. A three-pronged approach to OF care has been suggested, including awareness, treatment, and social reintegration; however, women’s health organizations have argued that social reintegration is the most important aspect of care next to the surgery itself. The aim of this study was to explore a culture of reintegration for women who experience an OF repair in northern Ghana. A critical ethnography was employed, using a health equity/social justice lens to discern the meaning and point of view of participants about a culture of reintegration post-OF. Ninety-nine participants were recruited from 24 rural communities in northern Ghana using convenience, purposive and snowball sampling. Study participants included: • Women who had experienced an OF repair a minimum of three months prior to being interviewed. • Family members of women who had experienced an OF repair and were involved in their care pre- and post-OF repair, or post-OF repair only. Only those identified as family members of women interviewed were considered. • Health-care providers (HCPs) who cared for women who experienced an OF repair (i.e. nurses, doctors, traditional birth attendants, traditional healers). • Community stakeholders, those in leadership positions, or who provided service to the community, and were involved in OF care at the community, regional or national level (i.e. government officials, nongovernmental organizations, religious leaders, women leaders). Observation, field notes, personal reflections, semi-structured interviews, and the assessment of relevant public policy documents were methods utilized. Data was analysed according to Hammersley and Atkinson’s (2007) approach to ethnographic analysis. Nvivo 10.0 software was used for data management. Ethics approval was received from the Human Research Ethics Review Board at the University of Alberta, Canada and at the Navrongo Health Research Center, Institutional Review Board, Ghana. Findings suggest that reintegration does not occur in isolation of the other two components of care; awareness and treatment. Although most families are excited to have their family member return home post-OF, women, families, and communities do express feelings of uncertainty. Women, their families, HCPs, and community stakeholders identify that OF health teaching, skills training, community follow-up, community awareness, family support, and existing health policies are important factors in the success of reintegration. Despite this fact, participants describe the economic, societal, systemic and cultural constraints to a woman’s ability to reintegrate, and offer solutions for change. Additionally, family members describe the impact OF had on them, drawing attention to the need for formal care-giving supports in light of the changing role of the family in Ghanaian society. Research findings provide…

▼ Maintenance management could be a complex subject if implementation and planning issues of the building facility are not handled properly. In this context, the current maintenance management method has affected the efficiency of the building facility management at Polytechnics. Many issues such as poor service delivery, inadequate finance, poor maintenance planning and maintenance backlogs were emerged due to the usage of conventional method application (paper-based form and unsystematic database). Therefore, this research is to review existing maintenance management practices, and subsequently develop a prototype system based on the stated problems related to the conventional method in improving the maintenance management processes. Literature review and semi-structured interview was carried out to achieve the objectives. Eight Polytechnics are selected based on major problems of using conventional method in the comparison to investigate the maintenance management practices in each Polytechnic. There are around 32 Polytechnics in Malaysia and almost are using conventional methods. The number is considered very big indicating that the use of modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is still very limited compared to other institutions of higher learning in Malaysia. The results revealed that the practice of maintenance management at Polytechnics needs to be improved and a computerised system was proposed based on the requirements of a maintenance management system identified through the case studies. The framework was encapsulated in a computer-based prototype system based on Microsoft Visual Basic.Net as a graphical user-interface while for the database design, the Microsoft Access is used to deploy the information for maintenance management processes. The computerised system was developed using Data Flow Diagram (DFD) and vi coding. Subsequently, the prototype system was tested by running it until the critical problems were fixed and its functional requirements work correctly. This system will help with the building diagnosis and decision making process approaches. It will assist staff in facilitating the maintenance identification, assessment, planning and execution in relation to building facility. In conclusion, the developed prototype system can improve the maintenance management practices effectiveness for building facility to provide high- quality building facility for safe and healthy environment.

▼ Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara yang sedang pesat membangun. Arus pembangunan yang pesat ini terdapat bangunan yang penuh dengan kesan sejarah yang menarik. Hasil daripada penyelidikan, didapati bahawa ada di antara bangunan bersejarah ini tidak dipulihara dengan baik malah ada yang telah dirobohkan kerana terdapat banyak kesan kecacatan yang berlaku dan keadaan seumpama ini telah mencacatkan keindahan dan keunikan rupa bentuknya. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah soal selidik dan tinjauan tapak. Soal selidik diedarkan kepada 35 responden dan telah dikembalikan sebanyak 34 responden yang terdiri daripada pihak pengurusan, kontraktor, arkitek, juruukur bahan dan perunding. Data kajian dianalisis menggunakan Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) dengan berpandukan statistik deskriptif dan frekuensi untuk mendapatkan nilai peratusan, min dan kekerapan. Hasil analisis objektif pertama telah mengenal pasti sebanyak 8 jenis kerosakan dan kecacatan yang sering berlaku pada elemen bangunan bersejarah iaitu bumbung, dinding, siling, lantai, pintu, tingkap, tangga dan tiang. Hasil análisis objektif kedua telah menemui sebanyak 13 punca kerosakan dan kecacatan iaitu kelemahan pada rekabentuk, mutu kerja rendah, kualiti bahan yang rendah, kelembapan, kecuaian, projek pembinaan berdekatan kawasan bangunan, serangan serangga perosak, pergerakan dalam tanah, kegagalan pada bahagian sambungan, ketidakstabilan struktur bangunan, ketidakseimbangan bahan binaan pada fasad bangunan, kehadiran garam yang terhasil daripada proses penghabluran dan pengecutan bahan binaan. Hasil daripada analisis, beberapa cadangan telah dirangkakan bagi kerja pemuliharaan struktur fabrik pada bangunan bersejarah untuk dijadikan sebagai rujukan dan garis panduan kepada pihak pengurusan, kontraktor, arkitek, juruukur bahan dan perunding dalam usaha untuk memulihara bangunan bersejarah. Diharapkan kajian ini akan diteruskan oleh penyelidik dalam mengkaji implikasi undang-undang dan garis panduan bagi kerja- kerja pemuliharaan bangunan bersejarah.

▼ Replication errors that escape DNA polymerase proof-reading activity are efficientl y recognized and repaired by conserved DNA mismatch repair factors. The overall result is a drastic reduction in deletion mutations. The mechanistic details of how mismatch repair proteins execute mismatch removal have not been elucidated. The aim of my thesis is to better understand how mismatch repair factors interact with DNA in order to identify mismatch sites. My work reveals that the mismatch repair complex, MLH1-PMS1, has unique DNA diffusion characteristics facilitated by structural features of the two subunits. Through bulk assays and total internal reflectance fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), I found that MLH1PMS1 could independently bind DNA and rapidly diffuse using the thermal energy of the system. Furthermore, MLH1-PMS1 was shown to be the first passively diffusing protein that could bypass stationary nucleosomes. In contrast, the DNA diffusion activity of the mismatch recognition complex MSH2-MSH6 was blocked by nucleosomes. The timing and nature of mismatch repair is linked with replication and is thus proposed that the differences seen for the two complexes have important implications for repair in the context of the chromatin state directly at the replication fork. Each subunit of the MLH1-PMS1 complex is composed of two defined globular domains connected by an unstructured linker arm. The linker arms of the complex are proposed to facilitate topological DNA binding and diffusion along DNA in a hopping/stepping mechanism. I found that TEV protease cleavage within the linker arms of MLH1-PMS1 disrupted DNA binding and mismatch repair in vitro and in vivo. Using a genetic mismatch repair assay I found that shortening of the linker arms in MLH1 had a drastic effect on function whereas similar changes in PMS1 had little or no effect. Purified truncated complexes were able to interact with DNA and form ternary complexes with MSH2-MSH6 at a mismatch. Future studies should focus on the diffusion characteristic for these complexes. Together, my work has important implications for understanding how mismatch repair proteins can rapidly identify their targets in a chromatin landscape.

▼ Maintaining the integrity of the genome is critical for the survival of all organisms. Genome maintenance must be efficient because we are constantly under exposure to genotoxic agents including UV-light, endogenous and exogenous reactive oxygen species, and chemical compounds from the environment. These toxins give rise to a variety of DNA lesions ranging from single strand breaks, abasic sites, cross-links and covalent adducts. Persistence of these lesions in the genome can lead directly to apoptosis of the cell or result in mutations, which in turn can lead to carcinogenesis. To combat genetic instability, multiple pathways have evolved to efficiently repair different types of DNA lesions. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a repair pathway specialized for removing bulky DNA lesions, typically arising from exposure to sun light, chemical carcinogens in the environment, and certain natural metabolites. Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XPA) protein is an essential scaffolding protein in the NER machinery. Its importance is underscored by the observation that XPA mutations are frequently associated with severe clinical symptoms of genetic disorder xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). The interaction of XPA with DNA is a core function and a number of mutations in the DNA binding domain are associated with XP disease, suggesting the importance of XPA-DNA interaction in human NER. Although early NMR structures of human XPA and complementary data on DNA binding are available, molecular details of how human XPA binds DNA remain unclear. Moreover, DNA binding of XPA is likely linked to its interaction with another NER factor replication protein A (RPA). This dissertation focused on elucidating the molecular basis of XPA-DNA interaction in the context of human NER. A combination of sequence analysis and a series of DNA binding assays redefined the DNA binding construct of XPA (XPA DBD), which had been misidentified for nearly 20 years. NMR studies identified key residues within the XPA DBD that are involved in interactions with DNA and RPA70AB. Moreover, biochemical studies of mutations within XPA DBD provided initial insights into genotype-phenotype correlations for these mutations and XP disease. Findings from this study enhance the mechanistic understanding of human NER and XP disorders.

▼ Understanding the fundamental limits of communication systems involves both constructing efficient coding schemes as well as proving mathematically that certain performance is impossible to achieve; the latter is known as the converse problem in information theory. This thesis focused on the converse problems for complex information systems such as self-repair distributed storage and coded caching systems, and our goal was to establish tight converse results for such systems by exploiting problem-specific combinatorial structures. The main part of this thesis dealt with exact-repair regenerating codes, which were first proposed by Dimakis et al. in 2010. In particular, we considered two extensions of the original setting of Dimakis et al., namely 1) multilevel diversity coding with regeneration and 2) secure exact-repair regenerating codes. For the problem of multilevel diversity coding with regeneration, we showed, via the proposed combinatorial approach, that the natural separate encoding strategy can achieve the optimal tradeoff between the normalized storage capacity and repair bandwidth at the minimum-bandwidth rate (MBR) point. This settled a conjecture by Tian and Liu in 2015. For the problem of secure exact-repair regenerating codes, all known results from the literature showed that the achievable tradeoff regions between the normalized storage capacity and repair bandwidth have a single corner point, achieved by a scheme proposed by Shah, Rashmi and Kumar (the SRK point). Since the achievable tradeoff regions of the exact-repair regenerating code problem without any secrecy constraints were known to have multiple corner points in general, these existing results suggested a phase-change-like behavior, i.e., enforcing a secrecy constraint immediately reduces the tradeoff region to one with a single corner point. In our work, we first showed that when the secrecy parameter is sufficiently large, the SRK point is indeed the only corner point of the tradeoff region. However, when the secrecy parameter is small, we showed that the tradeoff region can, in fact, have multiple corner points. In particular, we established a precise characterization of the tradeoff region for a particular problem instance, which has exactly two corner points. Thus, a smooth transition, instead of a phase-change-type of transition, should be expected as the secrecy constraint is gradually strengthened.
