Molecular Aspect Of Leaf Senescence, Edward Himelblau, Betania Quirino, Yoo-Sun Noh, Richard Amasino Jul 2000

Molecular Aspect Of Leaf Senescence, Edward Himelblau, Betania Quirino, Yoo-Sun Noh, Richard Amasino

Biological Sciences

Senescence is the last stage of leaf development and one type of programmed cell death that occurs in plants. The relationships among senescence programs that are induced by a variety of factors have been addressed at a molecular level in recent studies. Furthermore, an overlap between the pathogen-response and senescence programs is beginning to be characterized. The complexity of the senescence program is also evident in studies of senescence-specific gene regulation and the role of photosynthesis and plant hormones in senescence regulation. New molecular-genetic approaches are expected to be useful in unraveling the molecular mechanisms of the leaf senescence program.


Sequence Analysis Of Bacterial Dna In The Colon And Stomach Of The Tyrolean Iceman, Raul J. Cano, Friedrich Tiefenbrunner, Massimo Ubaldi, Clarissa Del Cueto, Stefania Luciani, Tobe Cox, Paula Orkand, Karl H. Kunzel, Franco Rollo Jul 2000

Sequence Analysis Of Bacterial Dna In The Colon And Stomach Of The Tyrolean Iceman, Raul J. Cano, Friedrich Tiefenbrunner, Massimo Ubaldi, Clarissa Del Cueto, Stefania Luciani, Tobe Cox, Paula Orkand, Karl H. Kunzel, Franco Rollo

Biological Sciences

The male human body found in an Alpine glacier on September 19, 1991 ("Tyrolean Iceman") has, for the first time in history, given scientists a chance to perform detailed anatomical, histological, and molecular investigations on the organs of a person from the Neolithic Age (5350-5100 B.P.). In the present study, tissue samples aseptically taken from the stomach and the colon of the mummy were utilized for DNA extraction, and the DNA was PCR-amplified, using primer pairs designed to bind to fragments of the 16s ribosomal RNA gene (16s rDNA) of a broad range of bacteria. The PCR products were cloned …


Wavelet-Based Approach For Structural Damage Detection, Z. Hou, Mohammad N. Noori, R. St. Amand Jul 2000

Wavelet-Based Approach For Structural Damage Detection, Z. Hou, Mohammad N. Noori, R. St. Amand

Office of the Dean (CENG) Scholarship

A wavelet-based approach is proposed for structural damage detection and health monitoring. Characteristics of representative vibration signals under the wavelet transformation are examined. The methodology is then applied to simulation data generated from a simple structural model subjected to a harmonic excitation. The model consists of multiple breakable springs, some of which may suffer irreversible damage when the response exceeds a threshold value or the number of cycles of motion is accumulated beyond their fatigue life. In cases of either abrupt or accumulative damages, occurrence of damage and the moment when it occurs can be clearly determined in the details …


Applying Positive Behavior Support And Functional Behavioral Assessments In Schools, George Sugai, Robert H. Horner, Glen Dunlap, Meme Hieneman, Timothy J. Lewis, C.

Michael Nelson, Terrance Scott, Carl Liaupsin, Wayne Sailor, Ann P. Turnbull, H. Rutherford Turnbull, Donna Wickham, Brennan Wilcox, Michael B. Ruef

Graduate Studies in Education

Positive behavior support (PBS) and functional behavioral assessment (FBA) are two significant concepts of the 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. These two concepts are not new, but they are important for improving the quality of efforts to educate children and youth with disabilities. The purposes of this article are to describe (a) the context in which PBS and FBA are needed and (b) definitions and features of PBS and FBA. An important message is that positive behavioral interventions and supports involve the whole school, and successful implementation emphasizes the identification, adoption, and sustained use of effective …


Smoking Laws And Their Differential Effects On Restaurants, Bars, And Taverns, John Dunham, Michael L. Marlow Jul 2000

Smoking Laws And Their Differential Effects On Restaurants, Bars, And Taverns, John Dunham, Michael L. Marlow

Economics

This article examines the effect of restrictive smoking laws on restaurants, bars, and taverns. Supporters of these laws often argue that they do not harm firms and may even raise profits. Opponents argue that owners cater to customer smoking preferences, and laws mandating specific policies will negatively impact profits. This article provides a framework for examining the distribution of effects that smoking laws exert on businesses, and demonstrates that changes in total sales or tax revenues do not provide a meaningful understanding of the economic implications because smoking laws exert different effects on different firms. The distribution of these effects …

Product Liability, Entry Incentives And Market Structure, Stephen F. Hamilton, David L. Sunding Jun 2000

Product Liability, Entry Incentives And Market Structure, Stephen F. Hamilton, David L. Sunding

Economics

The article characterizes the entry incentives provided by increases in product liability under various forms of competition. It is demonstrated that the entry of small, high-cost firms is likely to occur in imperfectly competitive markets when the average damage increases with industry output. Special cases are considered, including Cournot–Nash oligopoly and dominant firm-competitive fringe.


Trans-Holocene Marine Mammal Exploitation On San Clemente Island, California: A Tragedy Of The Commons Revisited, Judith F. Porcasi, Terry L. Jones, L. Mark Raab Jun 2000

Trans-Holocene Marine Mammal Exploitation On San Clemente Island, California: A Tragedy Of The Commons Revisited, Judith F. Porcasi, Terry L. Jones, L. Mark Raab

Social Sciences

Occupied from ca. 7040 B.C. to AD. 1400, the Eel Point Site (CA-SCLI-43) on San Clemente Island, California represents one of the longest sequences of near-continuous marine resource exploitation on the west coast of North America. Faunal remains suggest transitions from heavy exploitation of fur seals and sea lions during the early Holocene, to increased hunting of cetaceans at mid-Holocene, to a focus on sea otters and fish during the late Holocene. These trends are consistent with patterns of overexploitation and economic intensification on the California and Oregon mainland, but they also suggest watercraft-based hunting earlier on the island than …


Dosso Dossi, Garofalo, And The Costabili Polyptych: Imaging Spiritual Authority, Giancarlo Fiorenza Jun 2000

Dosso Dossi, Garofalo, And The Costabili Polyptych: Imaging Spiritual Authority, Giancarlo Fiorenza

Art and Design

Recent debate over the chronology of the Costabili polyptych, painted for the high altar of S. Andrea in Ferrara, has overlooked the broader question of interpretation regarding its genesis following Ferrara's participation in the Cambrai Wars. This essay analyzes how the altarpiece negotiates the concept of "just war" while communicating God's peace and salvation. Especially relevant to interpreting the imagery are the writings of Andrea Baura and Antonio Meli, two contemporary Augustinian friars from S. Andrea, who offered new ways of reading Scripture to overcome Ferrara's historical and spiritual conflicts.

Serum Ferritin Concentration And Recurrence Of Colorectal Adenoma, Marilyn Tseng, E. Robert Greenberg, Robert S. Sandler, John A. Baron, Robert W. Haile, Baruch S. Blumberg, Katherine A. Mcglynn Jun 2000

Serum Ferritin Concentration And Recurrence Of Colorectal Adenoma, Marilyn Tseng, E. Robert Greenberg, Robert S. Sandler, John A. Baron, Robert W. Haile, Baruch S. Blumberg, Katherine A. Mcglynn

Kinesiology and Public Health

Abstract Both body iron stores and dietary iron intake have been reported to increase risk of colorectal neoplasms. We assessed whether serum ferritin concentration was associated with recurrence of colorectal adenomas among 733 individuals with baseline determinations of ferritin as part of a multicenter clinical trial of antioxidant supplements for adenoma prevention. All study participants had at least one adenoma removed within 3 months before enrollment, and 269 of them developed one or more adenomas between follow-up colonoscopies conducted 1 and 4 years after enrollment. Baseline serum ferritin concentrations were analyzed both as a log-transformed continuous variable and as a …
