President-Elect Enrique Peña Nieto Tours Six Latin American Countries To Discuss Cooperation, Offers Insights On Domestic Plans In Key Areas, Carlos Navarro
NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America
This article discusses the significance of 2012 president-elect Enrique Peña Nieto's tour of Latin American countries in September 2012. In Brazil, Peña Nieto met with President Dilma Rousseff to strengthen cooperative and collaborative relations regarding their oil industries. Petrobras represents a potential model that Mexico's state-owned oil company PEMEX could follow in its efforts to modernize its practices and increase productivity.

As Haiti Gears Up To Boost Declining Agricultural Sector, International Cooperation Supports Efforts, George Rodríguez
NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America
Agriculture provides a livelihood for more than 1 million of Haiti's 9.7 million people and is the source of some 50% of jobs nationwide, yet its productivity is among the lowest in the Latin American and Caribbean region. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), along with other international entities, are providing Haiti with funding not only for agricultural projects, but also for projects that involve modernizing the country's educational and health systems, as well as the energy sector and its infrastructure.
Identification Of The Wings Apart Transcriptional Unit In Drosophila Melanogaster, Ginny Morriss
Identification Of The Wings Apart Transcriptional Unit In Drosophila Melanogaster, Ginny Morriss
Biology ETDs
Muscle development is an evolutionarily conserved process. Mechanisms that govern the development of specific muscles in invertebrates can inform our understanding of how vertebrate muscles form. Understanding these processes allows us to translate developmental mechanisms to disease pathogenesis, as similar genes and developmental processes are affected by these diseases. In this dissertation, CG14614 is identified as the gene responsible for the wings apart phenotype in Drosophila melanogaster. This mutation leads to a loss of the adult jump muscle (TDT) in most cases and a greater than 60% reduction in muscle fibers in its least severe form. wap mutants fail to …

Ethanol Exposure Impairs Glutamatergic Synaptic Transmission And Plasticity In The Ca1 Hippocampal Region During The Third Trimester-Equivalent Of Human Pregnancy : Implications For Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Michael Puglia
Biomedical Sciences ETDs
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder results from developmental exposure to ethanol. Although many organ systems are targeted by this teratogen, the central nervous system is exquisitely sensitive. Children with this disease often present with behavioral disorders as well as impairments in learning and memory. Ethanol exposure affects developmental processes throughout pregnancy; however, the third trimester-equivalent has demonstrated heightened sensitivity. Although the mechanism of action(s) of ethanol remains unknown, studies suggest that impairments in glutamatergic signaling and synaptic plasticity during the third trimester-equivalent period of development lead to alterations in synaptic formation and refinement. However, little is known about the developmental effects …
