Spatiotemporal Patterns Of Childhood Asthma Hospitalization And Utilization In Memphis Metropolitan Area From 2005 To 2015, Tonny J. Oyana, Pradeep Podila, Jagila Minso Wesley, Slawo Lomnicki, Stephania Cormier Sep 2017

Spatiotemporal Patterns Of Childhood Asthma Hospitalization And Utilization In Memphis Metropolitan Area From 2005 To 2015, Tonny J. Oyana, Pradeep Podila, Jagila Minso Wesley, Slawo Lomnicki, Stephania Cormier

Faculty Publications

© 2017 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Objective: To identify the key risk factors and explain the spatiotemporal patterns of childhood asthma in the Memphis metropolitan area (MMA) over an 11-year period (2005–2015). We hypothesize that in the MMA region this burden is more prevalent among urban children living south, downtown, and north of Memphis than in other areas. Methods: We used a large-scale longitudinal electronic health record database from an integrated healthcare system, Geographic information systems (GIS), and statistical and space-time models to study the spatiotemporal distributions of childhood asthma at census tract level. Results: We found statistically significant …


Zenith: Utility-Aware Resource Allocation For Edge Computing, Jinlai Xu, Balaji Palanisamy, Heiko Ludwig, Qingyang Wang Sep 2017

Zenith: Utility-Aware Resource Allocation For Edge Computing, Jinlai Xu, Balaji Palanisamy, Heiko Ludwig, Qingyang Wang

Faculty Publications

In the Internet of Things(IoT) era, the demands for low-latency computing for time-sensitive applications (e.g., location-based augmented reality games, real-time smart grid management, real-time navigation using wearables) has been growing rapidly. Edge Computing provides an additional layer of infrastructure to fill latency gaps between the IoT devices and the back-end computing infrastructure. In the edge computing model, small-scale micro-datacenters that represent ad-hoc and distributed collection of computing infrastructure pose new challenges in terms of management and effective resource sharing to achieve a globally efficient resource allocation. In this paper, we propose Zenith, a novel model for allocating computing resources in …


Dna Damage Regulates Direct Association Of Tor Kinase With The Rna Polymerase Ii-Transcribed Hmo1 Gene, Arvind Panday, Ashish Gupta, Kavitha Srinivasa, Lijuan Xiao, Mathew D. Smith, Anne Grove Sep 2017

Dna Damage Regulates Direct Association Of Tor Kinase With The Rna Polymerase Ii-Transcribed Hmo1 Gene, Arvind Panday, Ashish Gupta, Kavitha Srinivasa, Lijuan Xiao, Mathew D. Smith, Anne Grove

Faculty Publications

© 2017 Panday et al. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) senses nutrient sufficiency and cellular stress. When mTORC1 is inhibited, protein synthesis is reduced in an intricate process that includes a concerted down-regulation of genes encoding rRNA and ribosomal proteins. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae high-mobility group protein Hmo1p has been implicated in coordinating this response to mTORC1 inhibition. We show here that Tor1p binds directly to the HMO1 gene (but not to genes that are not linked to ribosome biogenesis) and that the presence of Tor1p is associated with activation of gene activity. Persistent induction of DNA double-strand …

© Nakamura et al. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes are ideal for in vivo imaging, because they offer deeper tissue penetration by the light and lower background autofluorescence than fluorophores that emit in the visible range. Q3STCy is a newly synthesized, NIR light-emitting probe that is activated by an enzyme commonly overexpressed in tumor cells, human nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate): quinone oxidoreductase isozyme 1, known as hNQO1 or DT-diaphorase. The purpose of this study is to compare the sensitivity of detecting peritoneal ovarian cancer metastasis (POCM) with Q3STCy and gGlu-HMRG, a green fluorescent probe, upon their surface application. In vitro uptake …

Squirrelmonkeys,Saimiri,arecommonlyfoundinzoologicalparksandusedinbiomedicalresearch.S.boliviensisisthemostcommon species for research; however, there is little information about genome evolution within this primate lineage. Here, we reconstruct the Alu element sequence amplification and evolution in the genus Saimiri at the time of divergence within the family Cebidae lineage. Alu elements are the most successful SINE (Short Interspersed Element) in primates. Here, we report 46 Saimiri lineage specificAlusubfamilies.RetrotranspositionactivityinvolvedsubfamiliesrelatedtoAluS,AluTa10,andAluTa15.Manysubfamiliesare simultaneously active within the Saimiri lineage, a finding which supports the stealth model of Alu amplification. We also report a high resolution analysis of Alu subfamilies within the S. boliviensis genome [saiBol1].

© 2017 The Authors. The Journal of Physiology published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of The Physiological Society Key points: A growing body of evidence suggests that epithelial Na+ channels (ENaCs) in the brain play a significant role in the regulation of blood pressure; however, the brain structures that mediate the effect are not well understood. Because vasopressin (VP) neurons play a pivotal role in coordinating neuroendocrine and autonomic responses to maintain cardiovascular homeostasis, a basic understanding of the regulation and activity of ENaC in VP neurons is of great interest. We show that high dietary salt …

© 2017 IUMS. Bacterial strain HPK2-2T was isolated from soil adjacent to the caldera of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. HPK2-2T is a chemoorganoheterotroph that shows optimal growth at 50 °C (range 45-55 °C) and pH 8.0 (range 5.0-10.0). Sequence analysis of the 16S subunit of the rRNA gene showed that HPK2-2T is most closely related to the type strain of Rubrobactertaiwanensis (ATCC BAA-406T), with which it shared 94.5% sequence identity. The major fatty acids detected in HPK2-2T were C18:0 14-methyl and C16:0 12-methyl; internally branched fatty acids such as these are characteristic of the genus Rubrobacter. The …

A series of pot experiments were conducted to: (1) evaluate the effects of different Si sources (soil- and foliar-applied) on grain yield and Si accumulation of rice supplied with varying P rates, and (2) evaluate Si absorption of rice using foliar- and soil-applied Si fertilizers. Three P rates, (0, 112, and 224 kg ha-1) combined with five Si treatments (wollastonite and slag applied at 4.5 ton ha-1 and one foliar Si solution applied at 20, 40 and 80 mg Si L-1) and a check were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The presence of P and …

Poultry Litter Ash Rate And Placement Affect Phosphorus Dissolution In A Horticultural Substrate1, Daniel E. Wells, Jeffrey S. Beasley, Edward W. Bush, Lewis A. Gaston Sep 2017

Poultry Litter Ash Rate And Placement Affect Phosphorus Dissolution In A Horticultural Substrate1, Daniel E. Wells, Jeffrey S. Beasley, Edward W. Bush, Lewis A. Gaston

Faculty Publications

Poultry litter ash (PLA) is a byproduct of bioenergy production and an effective P source for horticultural crops since it reduces P losses from container production due to its low P solubility. Experiments were conducted to determine effects of rate and placement of PLA on P loss from greenhouse crop production and growth and quality of two commonly-grown greenhouse crops, Verbena canadensis Britton ‘Homestead Purple’ and Lantana camara L. ‘New Gold’, by comparing two rates (140 and 280 g·m-3P or 0.4 and 0.8 lb·yd-3) and two application methods (post-plant topdressed and pre-plant incorporated). Leachate-dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) concentrations were reduced …
