The School of Graduate Studies Calendar describes the broad range of graduate study opportunities available at the University of Toronto. It also contains policies and procedures related to graduate studies. The calendar is divided into six sections. Section 1 General Regulations outlines admission, registration, enrolment, grading, and graduation policies and proce- dures. Selected policies and codes established by the University are also featured in this section with links to the full policy which is accessible online. Section 2 Degree Regulations discusses general admission and degree requirements for programs offered by more than one graduate unit at the University. Specialized programs not mentioned in this section are described in the entry for the specific graduate unit offering the program. Section 3 Fees and Financial Support Fees schedules, types of fees, and fees for graduate student categories are explained. Financial Support describes awards, assistantships, grants, and loans available to graduate students. Section 4 Services for Students outlines University services avail- able to enhance graduate life at U of T. Look for student housing information in this section. Section 5 Graduate Faculty members are appointed in one of three categories: full members, members emeriti, and associate members. Faculty with appointments as full members and members emeriti are listed alphabeti- cally, together with their home unit affiliation. Associate members are listed in the individual graduate unit entries in section 6. Section 6 Graduate Programs. The largest component of the calendar features a comprehensive list of the graduate units that offer degree programs. The term “graduate unit” refers to a department, centre, or institute. The section is divided into three categories: degree programs, collabo- rative programs, and joint programs.

ETH NO. 17671 Proofs for the Working Engineer A dissertation submitted to ETH ZURICH for the degree of Doctor of Sciences presented by Farhad Dinshaw Mehta Master of Science, Technische Universit¨atM¨unchen Bachelor of Technology, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi born 11.01.1980 citizen of India accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Jean-Raymond Abrial Prof. Peter M¨uller Prof. Cliff Jones 2008 Abstract Over the last couple of decades the advantages of including formal proof within the development process for computer based systems has become in- creasingly clear. This has lead to a plethora of logics and proof tools that propose to fulfill this need. Nevertheless, the inclusion of theorem proving within the development process, even in domains where clear benefits can be expected, is rather an exception than the rule. One of the main goals of the formal methods endeavour is to bring the ac- tivity of formal theorem proving closer to the engineer developing computer based systems. This thesis makes some important practical contributions towards realising this goal. It hopes to shows that proper tool support can not only ease theorem proving, but also strenghten its role as a design aid. It shows that it is feasible to integrate interactive proof within a reactive development environment for formal systems.

  • Exploring Nsr100/SRRM4 As a Therapeutic Target for Autism Spectrum Disorder in Mice
    Exploring nSR100/SRRM4 as a therapeutic target for autism spectrum disorder in mice by Juli Wang A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto © Copyright by Juli Wang, 2019 I Exploring nSR100/SRRM4 as a Therapeutic Target for ASD in Mice Juli Wang Master of Science Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Misregulation of nSR100 and its target microexons are common in a large proportion of ASD patients and cause ASD-associated features in mice. This thesis explores nSR100 and its target splicing program as a potential therapeutic target using a conditional knockout allele, nSR100GT. I show that nSR100 protein is effectively depleted in the cortical regions of nSR100GT mutant mice at E17.5, E18.5, and P2 stages, which correlates with phenotypes overlapping with all core behavioral domains of ASD. I show that tamoxifen-mediated rescue in prenatal nSR100GT animals restores nSR100 protein and microexon inclusion levels comparable to those observed in wildtype mice. Collectively my thesis research shows that the nSR100GT mouse strain holds the promise for examining phenotypic effects of nSR100 reactivation in ASD-like mice at different developmental stages, and complimentary models are also to be considered for investigating the therapeutic potential of targeting nSR100 in the context of ASD.

  • Fiendish Designs
    Fiendish Designs A Software Engineering Odyssey © Tim Denvir 2011 1 Preface These are notes, incomplete but extensive, for a book which I hope will give a personal view of the first forty years or so of Software Engineering. Whether the book will ever see the light of day, I am not sure. These notes have come, I realise, to be a memoir of my working life in SE. I want to capture not only the evolution of the technical discipline which is software engineering, but also the climate of social practice in the industry, which has changed hugely over time. To what extent, if at all, others will find this interesting, I have very little idea. I mention other, real people by name here and there. If anyone prefers me not to refer to them, or wishes to offer corrections on any item, they can email me (see Contact on Home Page). Introduction Everybody today encounters computers. There are computers inside petrol pumps, in cash tills, behind the dashboard instruments in modern cars, and in libraries, doctors’ surgeries and beside the dentist’s chair. A large proportion of people have personal computers in their homes and may use them at work, without having to be specialists in computing. Most people have at least some idea that computers contain software, lists of instructions which drive the computer and enable it to perform different tasks. The term “software engineering” wasn’t coined until 1968, at a NATO-funded conference, but the activity that it stands for had been carried out for at least ten years before that.

  • Stem Cell Strategy by Establishing the Till & Mcculloch Medicines of Tomorrow Innovation Fund
    A Pre-Budget Submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance To Implement the Canadian Stem Cell Strategy By Establishing The Till & McCulloch Medicines of Tomorrow Innovation Fund James Price President & CEO Canadian Stem Cell Foundation February 9, 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Stem cells represent the biggest innovation in medicine of the last half century. These cells have the power to cure many diseases for which current medical practice can only provide symptomatic relief and chronic care – a reality that is straining health care systems in Canada and in countries around the globe. Stem cells are a hallmark of Canadian innovation. They were first discovered in Canada and Canada is one of the top three countries in stem cell R&D, with our scientists ranking among the best in the world. Recent investments, such as the Government’s $20-million commitment to establish a cell-manufacturing facility in Toronto and the $114-million Medicine By Design grant for the University of Toronto, will help Canada move forward. However, major commitments by competitor jurisdictions – most notably California, with its investment of $3 billion, and Japan, with an investment of $1 billion in stem cells and regenerative medicine -- challenge Canada’s leadership in this sector of the knowledge economy. Moreover, Canada lacks a national plan to succeed in the coming cell therapy and regenerative medicine boom. The Canadian Stem Cell Strategy -- created in consultation with 150 scientists, medical doctors, leaders from major health charities, industry experts, investors and philanthropists – will: • deliver up to 10 new curative therapies within 10 years; • transform health care and ease the strain on the health system; and • attract private investment and generate 12,000 jobs for Canadians.

M. Bayne and D. W. Stephan Accepted 00th January 20xx Part of the renaissance in main group chemistry has been a result of the focus on reactivity. This has led to the DOI: 10.1039/x0xx00000x development of applications in stoichiometric reactivity and catalysis. In this tutorial review, we focus attention on the role of phosphorus-based Lewis acids in such advances. While early literature recognizes the role of P(III) and P(V) www.rsc.org/ electrophiles in coordination chemistry, it has generally been more recent studies that have focused on applications of this Lewis acidity. Applications of these novel P-based Lewis acids in stoichiometric reactivity, Lewis acid catalysis and frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) reactivity are reviewed. These advances demonstrate that P-based Lewis acids are a powerful tool for further developments in metal-free catalysis. Key Learning Points 1. The development of main group catalysis has contributed to significant advancements in catalytic and stoichiometric transformations. 2. Although P(III) species are typical Lewis bases, phosphenium cations have demonstrated electron accepting abilities. 3. As saturated acceptors, phosphorus(V)-based Lewis acids derive their acidity from a low lying σ* orbital.
