Receptor Activation Regulates Cortical, But Not Vesicular Localization Of Ndp Kinase, Betty C. Gallagher, Kimberly A.P. Mitchell, Gabor Szabo, Angela De S. Otero Aug 2003

Receptor Activation Regulates Cortical, But Not Vesicular Localization Of Ndp Kinase, Betty C. Gallagher, Kimberly A.P. Mitchell, Gabor Szabo, Angela De S. Otero

Faculty Publications and Presentations

We used immunofluorescence techniques to determine the localization of nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase in NIH-3T3 fibroblasts. We found that cytoplasmic NDP kinase can be separated into two populations according to subcellular localization and response to extracellular stimuli. Specifically, within minutes of stimulation of resting fibroblasts with serum, growth factors or bombesin, a portion of NDP kinase becomes associated with membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. Another pool of NDP kinase accumulates independently of stimulation around intracellular vesicles. Transfection of cells with activated Rac mimics, whereas expression of dominant negative Rac inhibits, the effects of extracellular stimulation on the translocation of NDP kinase …

The Spirit-Filled Christian Life, Curtis Wayne Brown May 2003

The Spirit-Filled Christian Life, Curtis Wayne Brown

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The Scriptures teach that Christians are to be "filled or controlled" by God, the Holy Spirit. This thesis will define what the Bible teaches regarding how the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within a person, what is involved in continually submitting the heart to the Holy Spirit's filling or control, and what are the behavioral and attitude manifestations in a Christian when controlled by the Holy Spirit. The filling of the Holy Spirit will be discussed in the life of the individual Christian, his family and the local church as seen in Ephesians 5:18- 6:17, Galatians 5:22-23, Romans, I Corinthians …

To understand the flaws of the ABA accreditation process, this article will overview the experience of Barry University School of Law (Barry) with ABA accreditation. Section II will discuss the development and structure of the ABA. Section III will argue that the ABA’s delegation of authority to an internal advisory body to render accreditation decisions, which bind the ABA, is an ultra vires act forbidden both by the laws of its state of incorporation and by the ABA Constitution. Section IV will then discuss the ABA accreditation process as applied to Barry. In Section V, this article will address federal …

Leadership In Faith-Based Nonprofits As Compared To A Covenantal Framework Of Action: An Exploratory Study To Develop An Alternative Theoretical Framework For Assessing Organizational Processes And Influences, Kahlib J. Fischer Apr 2003

Leadership In Faith-Based Nonprofits As Compared To A Covenantal Framework Of Action: An Exploratory Study To Develop An Alternative Theoretical Framework For Assessing Organizational Processes And Influences, Kahlib J. Fischer

Faculty Dissertations

The purpose of this paper is to better understand leadership in faith-based nonprofits (FNPs) through interviews of managers and executive directors of FNPs. In addition, based upon the data gathered, to construct an FNP leadership paradigm (FLP). To assist in this effort, the Covenantal Framework of Action (CFA) was introduced to serve as a theoretical framework for assessing FNP organizational/ leadership processes and influences. CFA is characterized by noncentralization, participatory decision-making, and servant leadership. Construction of the FNP leadership paradigm and its comparison to CFA revealed that FLP and CFA were similar along every dimension of CFA.

Additionally, the romantic attachment styles of both sets of young women were explored. College women from a private university in the southeast were administered a demographic survey, the Adult …

Clustering Of The Endoplasmic Reticulum In Aluminum Induced Apoptosis, Adam Nathan Hertlein Apr 2003

Clustering Of The Endoplasmic Reticulum In Aluminum Induced Apoptosis, Adam Nathan Hertlein

Senior Honors Theses

Disruption of the cytoskeleton and axonal transport has been implicated in certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. It is not clear whether cytoskeletal and transport abnormalities playa causative role in neurodegeneration or whether they are simply byproducts of disrupted metabolism and signal transduction pathways in neurons undergoing apoptosis. Aluminum has been used to induce apoptosis in both in vivo and in vitro models of apoptosis that share many biochemical and pathological similarities to Alzheimer's disease. The specific aim of this project was to examine the effect that aluminum-induced apoptosis has on intracellular distribution of the endoplasmic reticulum. The results …

Daniel: A Model For The Cultural Relevancy Of The Believer, Daniel Christopher Samms

Senior Honors Theses

Daniel's life in Babylon parallels the predicament of the church in the current culture. Just as the modern church has been placed in a culture that inhibits the worship of God, so Daniel was placed in a culture and kingdom that did the same. Because of his ability to impact his surrounding culture, this thesis looks to Daniel for principles on godly cultural relevancy. The first and largest part of this thesis follows the life of Daniel, citing key moments of his life, and noting his reaction to each situation. From Daniel's actions as well as from the results of …

In this paper I will discuss the effects of online communication on social connectivity and the development of community, as specifically related to teacher communities. I will begin by discussing differing constructions and aspects of the concept of community and the important role of connectivity in the development of community. I will then discuss modern technologies in the realm of CMC (Computer-Mediated Communication), the foundations of these technologies as actual tools for collaboration and community, and the role these technologies play in developing connectedness in communities. I will then draw out characteristics and value in virtual community interaction and its …

The Nature Of Holy Scripture In Roman Catholic Discussion From Vatican Ii To The New Catechism, John D. Morrison

Impact Of A Young-Earth Creationist Apologetics Course On Student Creation Worldview, Tom Henderson, Steve Deckard, David A. Dewitt Jan 2003

Impact Of A Young-Earth Creationist Apologetics Course On Student Creation Worldview, Tom Henderson, Steve Deckard, David A. Dewitt

Faculty Publications and Presentations

Science educators holding an evolutionary worldview are concerned about the teaching of young -Earth creationism (YEC) and generally oppose its presentation in public schools. This paper examines the influence of a YEC apologetics course on Creation and evolution worldview attitudes of Liberty University students. The creation worldview test (CWT) was administered and a total scale score along with three subscales scores in theology, science and age were analyzed. Student pre-test scores indicated some weaknesses, suggesting departure from a solid YEC worldview. Following the course, students shifted significantly toward stronger agreement with the YEC position in total score, science and age. …

Establishing Recording Studios For The Purpose Of Developing Indigenous Worship For Tunisian Believers, Frank Fortunato Dec 2002

Establishing Recording Studios For The Purpose Of Developing Indigenous Worship For Tunisian Believers, Frank Fortunato

Masters Theses

Over several decades churches worldwide have focused on recovering or discovering biblical, vibrant worship. With one brilliant statement John Piper captured the current wave of worship and connected it to missions. In what has become a classic motto of the missions movement Piper reminded the Christian community that “missions exists because worship doesn’t. Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is.” While not a new concept, these few words helped forge missions and worship into symbiotic relationship. Each morphed into the other in an ongoing continuum. The establishing of thriving, biblical churches that were also worshiping churches …
