Molecular Evolution Of Numt, A Recent Transfer And Tandem Amplification Of Mitochondrial Dna Into The Nuclear Genome Of The Domestic Cat (Felis Catus), Jose V. Lopez Apr 1995

Molecular Evolution Of Numt, A Recent Transfer And Tandem Amplification Of Mitochondrial Dna Into The Nuclear Genome Of The Domestic Cat (Felis Catus), Jose V. Lopez

Oceanography Faculty Theses and Dissertations

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are functional cytoplasmic chromosomes, tracing origins to a symbiotic infection of eukaryotic cells by bacterial progenitors. As prescribed by the Serial Endosymbiosis Theory, symbionts have gradually transferred their genes to the nuclear genome that enable functional interaction. In this dissertation, a 7.9 kb transposition of a typically 17.0 kb mitochondrial genome to a specific chromosomal position in the domestic cat is reported. The integrated mtDNA has amplified about 38-76 times and now occurs as a "macrosatellite"-like tandem repeat with multiple length alleles resolved by pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) segregating in cat populations. To examine the tempo …

Measure Of Fine Tuning, Greg W. Anderson, Diego Castano Mar 1995

Measure Of Fine Tuning, Greg W. Anderson, Diego Castano

Chemistry and Physics Faculty Articles

Fine-tuning criteria are frequently used to place upper limits on the masses of superpartners in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. However, commonly used prescriptions for quantifying naturalness have some important shortcomings. Motivated by this, we propose new criteria for quantifying fine tuning that can be used to place upper limits on superpartner masses with greater fidelity. In addition, our analysis attempts to make explicit the assumptions implicit in quantifications of naturalness. We apply our criteria to the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, and we find that the scale of supersymmetry breaking can be larger than previous methods …


Challenging Weak-Scale Supersymmetry At Colliders, Greg W. Anderson, Diego Castano Mar 1995

Challenging Weak-Scale Supersymmetry At Colliders, Greg W. Anderson, Diego Castano

Chemistry and Physics Faculty Articles

Experimental searches for supersymmetry are entering a new era. As future experiments explore the mass range above the current lower bounds on superpartner masses, a failure to observe signals of superpartner production will begin to erode the central motivation for supersymmetry at the weak scale. In this article we present a detailed examination of which regions of supersymmetric parameter space are most natural and the extent to which weak-scale supersymmetry becomes unnatural if no superpartners are observed at CERN LEP II, the Fermilab Tevatron, possible upgrades of these machines, and the CERN LHC.

Tissue Damage In Scleractinian And Alcyonacean Corals Due To Experimental Exposure To Sedimentation, Bernhard Riegl, Jonathan P. Bloomer Jan 1995

Tissue Damage In Scleractinian And Alcyonacean Corals Due To Experimental Exposure To Sedimentation, Bernhard Riegl, Jonathan P. Bloomer

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Proceedings, Presentations, Speeches, Lectures

Four South African scleractinian corals (Favia favus, Favites pentagona, Platygyra daedalea and Gyrosmilia interrupta) and four alcyonacean corals (Lobophytum depressum, Lobophytum venustum, Sinularia dura and Sinularia leptoclados) were experimentally exposed to high sedimentation conditions in the laboratory during a period of six weeks. Experimental sedimentation corresponded to the highest measured sedimentation levels on South African coral reefs, being 200 mg cm-2h-l. Corals were monitored for tissue necroses and bleaching during the course of the experiment and histological sections were prepared after the termination of the experiment. During the experiment, tissue necroses appeared earlier and more frequently in alcyonacea than in …


Delimitation, Exploitation, And Allocation Of Transboundary Oil & Gas Deposits Between Nation-States, Thomas A. Reynolds Jan 1995

Delimitation, Exploitation, And Allocation Of Transboundary Oil & Gas Deposits Between Nation-States, Thomas A. Reynolds

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Liquid hydrocarbon deposits often extend across national frontiers in such a manner that an entire deposit may be exploited, wholly or in part, from either side of the boundary line. This "characteristic of liquid hydrocarbons has been a fundamental cause of disputes, conflicts, and even wars in many parts of the world.

Is Coral Community Structure Linked To Damage Susceptibility? A Case Study From South Africa, Bernhard Riegl, Peter A. Cook Jan 1995

Is Coral Community Structure Linked To Damage Susceptibility? A Case Study From South Africa, Bernhard Riegl, Peter A. Cook

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Proceedings, Presentations, Speeches, Lectures

Africa's southernmost coral communities are situated in northern Natal, South Africa (27°50' S), within the Maputaland and St. Lucia Marine Reserves. Growing concern about the possible impact of recreational acti vities on the health of the coral ecosystem prompted the present study on the structure and health of the reefs. Coral community studies by means of line transects identified three basic coral community types, which correlated with the geomorphology of the sandstone outcrops on which corals grew. 1) Fossil dunes were dominated by alcyonacea in depths between 8 and 24 m. 2) Flat outcrops between 18 and 24 m depth …

Taphonomy Of Isocrinid Stalks: Influence Of Decay And Autotomy, Tomasz K. Baumiller, Ghislaine Llewellyn, Charles G. Messing, William I. Ausich Jan 1995

Taphonomy Of Isocrinid Stalks: Influence Of Decay And Autotomy, Tomasz K. Baumiller, Ghislaine Llewellyn, Charles G. Messing, William I. Ausich

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

Stalks of isocrinid crinoids are differentiated into cirri-bearing columnals (nodals) and columnals lacking cirri (internodals). This skeletal differentiation allowed us to test whether stalk fragmentation is random or whether it occurs preferentially at a specific articulation. Our analyses indicate that the patterns of fragmentation in multicolumnal segments of extant isocrinids collected by submersible, by dredging, and in sediment samples, as well as those found as fossils, are nonrandom. The preferred plane of fragmentation corresponds to the synostosis, the articulation between a nodal and the internodal distal to it. In isocrinids this articulation has a characteristic morphology and is the site …


Evaluation Of A Novel Material For Recycling Tires Into Artificial Reefs - Final Report, Richard E. Spieler Jan 1995

Evaluation Of A Novel Material For Recycling Tires Into Artificial Reefs - Final Report, Richard E. Spieler

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Reports

The purpose of this study was to evaluate, from a biological perspective, a tire-concrete aggregate which uses tire shreds mixed into concrete, as a suitable reef building material. Evaluation consisted of comparing the biological assemblages associated with tire-aggregate reefs to standard gravel-concrete reefs of the same design. Four artificial reefs of concrete, tetrahedron modules were placed off Fort Lauderdale, Florida in seven meters of water, two reefs of each type of aggregate. Each reef contains 25 small (1m/side) and 25 large (1.3m/side) tetrahedrons stacked in a random configuration. The reefs were monitored at monthly, or less, intervals for 28 months. …


Alkaline Phosphatase Activity And Phosphorus Limitation In Marine Macroalgae From The Florida Keys And The Bahamas, Christine M. Urnezis Jan 1995

Alkaline Phosphatase Activity And Phosphorus Limitation In Marine Macroalgae From The Florida Keys And The Bahamas, Christine M. Urnezis

HCNSO Student Theses and Dissertations

Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment and coastal eutrophication are a primary threat to the biological integrity of coral reef ecosystems. Macroalgal blooms are one symptom of eutrophication and provide useful 'bioindicators' of the nutrient dynamics associated with the eutrophication process. This study used marine macroalgae to monitor physiological processes associated with eutrophication by comparing the degree of phosphorus (P) limitation in reef and nearshore environments of the highly developed Florida Keys with the relatively pristine Bahamas by measuring enzymatic alkaline phosphatase activity (APA), tissue composition, and water column nutrient concentrations [total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP)]. Experimental nutrient enrichment studies were …

Idea Analysis For The Development Of Clinical Trial Strategies, Roberta S. Horowitz Jan 1995

Idea Analysis For The Development Of Clinical Trial Strategies, Roberta S. Horowitz

CCAC Theses and Dissertations

Idea Analysis was investigated to determine its ability to organize scientific information and explain the results of specialists' deliberations in designing new clinical trials. Ideas have long been recognized as the engine of creativity. By focusing on the capture of ideas from the scientific literature, idea analysis procedures enable the arrangement of the information into forms consistent with those developed by subject specialists. The most obvious example is the concept structure. Ideas containing a common frequently occurring term/phrase can be depicted as a primary node in the concept network. Related terms will appear as elements associated with that node. Ideas …

A Taxonomy Of Workgroup Computing Applications, Warren Von Worley Jan 1995

A Taxonomy Of Workgroup Computing Applications, Warren Von Worley

CCAC Theses and Dissertations

The goal of workgroup computing is to help individuals and groups efficiently perform a wide range of functions on networked computer systems (Ellis, Gibbs, & Rein, 1991). Early workgroup computing tools were designed for limited functionality and group interaction (Craighill, 1992). Current workgroup computing applications do not allow enough control of group processes and they provide little correlation between various workgroup computing application areas (Rodden and Blair, 1991). An integrated common architecture may produce more effective workgroup computing applications. Integrating common support functions into a common framework will avoid duplication of these functions for each workgroup computing application (Pastor & …
