Finding Fault?: Exploring Legal Duties To Return Incidental Findings In Genomic Research, Elizabeth R. Pike, Karen H. Rothenberg, Benjamin E. Berkman
Faculty Scholarship
The use of whole genome sequencing in biomedical research is expected to produce dramatic advances in human health. The increasing use of this powerful, data-rich new technology in research, however, will inevitably give rise to incidental findings (IFs), findings with individual health or reproductive significance that are beyond the aims of the particular research, and the related questions of whether and to what extent researchers have an ethical obligation to return IFs. Many have concluded that researchers have an ethical obligation to return some findings in some circumstances, but have provided vague or context-dependent approaches to determining which IFs must ...
Effects Of Excitation Pressure On Variegation And Global Gene Expression In Arabidopsis Thaliana, Rainer Bode
Effects Of Excitation Pressure On Variegation And Global Gene Expression In Arabidopsis Thaliana, Rainer Bode
University of Western Ontario - Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
I assessed the effects of photosystem II excitation pressure on chloroplast biogenesis and leaf sectoring in the Arabidopsis thaliana variegated mutants im, spotty, var1, var2, chs5 and atd2. The plants were grown under varying degrees of excitation pressure induced by growth at increasing irradiance at different temperatures and the extent of variegation was quantified throughout the plant’s development. I found that the degree of variegation was positively correlated with excitation pressure, regardless of whether high light or low temperature was used to induce increased excitation pressure in all the mutants tested. This was irrespective of whether the mutation causing ...

Kisspeptin (KP) and the KP receptor (Kiss1r) are integral to central regulation of the gonadotropic-axis. The demonstration that intravenous infusion of KP can stimulate gonadotropin secretion and ovulation in seasonally anestrous female sheep offers a means of manipulating the reproductive axis. However, KP may be of limited clinical use because of the short circulating half-life. Kiss1r agonists with increased half-life and similar efficacy to KP in vitro potentially may provide beneficial applications in breeding management of many species. However, many of these agonists have not been tested in vivo. This study was designed to test and compare the effects of ...

Articles
Raman spectroscopy coupled with K-means clustering analysis (KMCA) is employed to elucidate the biochemical structure of human skin tissue sections, and the effects of tissue processing. Both hand and thigh sections of human cadavers were analysed in their unprocessed and formalin fixed paraffin processed (FFPP) and subsequently dewaxed forms. In unprocessed sections, KMCA reveals clear differentiation of the stratum corneum, intermediate underlying epithelium and dermal layers for sections from both anatomical sites. The stratum corneum is seen to be relatively rich in lipidic content; the spectrum of the subjacent layers is strongly influenced by the presence of melanin, while that ...

Agriculture in the US Corn Belt is under increasing pressure to produce greater quantities of food, feed and fuel, while better protecting environmental quality. Key environmental problems in this region include water contamination by nutrients and herbicides emitted from cropland, a lack of non-agricultural habitat to support diverse communities of native plants and animals, and a high level of dependence on petrochemical energy in the dominant cropping systems. In addition, projected changes in climate for this region, which include increases in the proportion of precipitation coming from extreme events could make soil and water conservation in existing cropping systems more ...

The Role Of Minimization And Facilitation Of Learner Involvement During Acquisition In The Learning Of A Motor Task, Elizabeth A. Sanli
The Role Of Minimization And Facilitation Of Learner Involvement During Acquisition In The Learning Of A Motor Task, Elizabeth A. Sanli
Open Access Dissertations and Theses
When learning a new motor skill, how we choose to go about the learning process can influence how quickly and how well we learn the task. In particular, the role of learner involvement during the acquisition period can be manipulated through how practice is scheduled. Two separate sets of literature (progression of task difficulty and self-controlled practice) which discuss learner involvement during acquisition were reviewed. The motivation behind this thesis is to examine the effects of progressive and self-controlled practice on measures of retention, transfer and dual-task performance as well as to attempt to determine the underlying factors responsible for ...

A Survey Of Ionoregulatory Responses To Extended Exercise And Acute Hypoxia In Freshwater Amazonian And Southern Ontarian Teleosts: Investigating The Osmorespiratory Compromise, Lisa M. Robertson Msc
Open Access Dissertations and Theses
The osmorespiratory compromise is the trade-off between high gill permeability for oxygen uptake and low gill permeability for conservation of ions in fish. The fundamental purpose of this study was to examine facets of the osmorespiratory compromise in freshwater fish under conditions of extended exercise and acute hypoxia, in light of previous research identifying very different gill morphometric and ionoregulatory modifications in the hypoxia-tolerant Amazonian oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) and the hypoxia-intolerant rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). A technique using [3H]polyethylene-4000 ([3H]PEG-4000) for branchial paracellular permeability measurement was developed, and then applied to investigate the osmorespiratory compromise during ...

Exploring The Sulfide Tolerance Of Ectosymbiotic Niphargus Amphipods From The Frasassi Caves, Central Italy, Jan Bauermeister, Karoline Assig, Sharmishtha Dattagupta
International Journal of Speleology
Two species of the crustacean amphipod genus Niphargus inhabit the sulfidic groundwaters of the Frasassi caves in central Italy, and both harbor filamentous, sulfide-oxidizing Thiothrix ectosymbionts. As sulfide is toxic to most aerobic organisms, it appeared possible that the ectosymbionts could help their Niphargus hosts with detoxification processes. In this study, mortality due to sulfide was compared between Niphargus individuals with ectosymbionts and individuals whose ectosymbionts had been killed by antibiotic treatment. Both Frasassi-dwelling Niphargus species revealed exceptionally high tolerances to sulfide compared to other amphipod species studied so far. Niphargus individuals without viable ectosymbionts tolerated sulfide levels exceeding those ...

Schizophrenia: Then And Now, Christina Lee
Sound Neuroscience: An Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal
The term "schizophrenia" was introduced over 100 years ago and it is a psychological disorder characterized by a loss of contact with reality as well as a disruption of thought, perception, mood, and movement. Throughout the years, a lot of information has been uncovered but there is still a lot of progress to be made in terms of understanding its etiology and in creating effective treatment options.

The Progression Of A Disease: An Overview Of Schizophrenia, Lucas Stone
Sound Neuroscience: An Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal
Schizophrenia is a largely undiscovered disease. Researchers haven't discovered a mechanism for effects and they still do not completely know how it affects the brain. The COMT gene as well as the epigenetic regulation of certain glutaminergic and GABAergic neurotransmitters have been proposed as possible causes for Schizophrenia, but like most research of this disease, it is not proven. The treatment for this disease has gotten better, but there still is not one that does not involve altering the natural processes of the brain.

Reexamination Of Herpetofauna On Mormon Island, Hall County, Nebraska, With Notes On Natural History, Keith Geluso, Mary J. Harner
Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies
The Platte River in central Nebraska, USA, was historically surrounded by mixed grass and tallgrass prairies and wet meadows, but many of those habitats were lost or altered during the last century with unknown effects on animals that reside in them. Researchers first surveyed herpetofauna on part of a large island preserve in the Platte River, Mormon Island, Hall County, Nebraska, in 1980 when the land was protected for conservation. They documented 10 species, including three species of amphibians and seven species of reptiles. We inventoried herpetofauna after 30 years of conservation management on Mormon Island and adjacent Shoemaker Island ...
