Highly Specific Fiber Optic Immunosensor Coupled With Immunomagnetic Separation For Detection Of Low Levels Of Listeria Monocytogenes And L. Ivanovii, Marcelo Mendonca, Neida L. Conrad, Fabricio R. Conceicao, Angela N. Moreira, Wladimir P. Da Silva, Jose Ag Aleixo, Arun K. Bhunia

Department of Food Science Faculty Publications

Background

Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and immunoassays are widely used for pathogen detection. However, novel technology platforms with highly selective antibodies are essential to improve detection sensitivity, specificity and performance. In this study, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Internalin A (InlA) and p30 were generated and used on paramagnetic beads of varying diameters for concentration, as well as on fiber-optic sensor for detection.

Results

Anti-InlA MAb-2D12 (IgG2a subclass) was specific for Listeria monocytogenes and L. ivanovii, and p30-specific MAb-3F8 (IgM) was specific for the genus Listeria. At all bacterial concentrations (10³–10⁸ CFU/mL) tested in the IMS assay; …

“The People! Demand! Social Justice!:” About Social Change In Israel And Palestine, Assaf Harel

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

Written in the midst of an 18 months ethnographic fieldwork conducted among religiously motivated Jewish settlers and Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, this field notes article engages with the question of social change. I anchor the article around cases of settlement expansion and settlers' violence as a means to discuss the Jewish settlement movement in the occupied territories vis-à-vis the recent Israeli mass-protest movement for social change. Pondering upon the problematics of social change as a constant, the juxtaposition of the two social movements enables me to frame the question of social change as inextricably tied to violence and …

The Japanization Of Karate?: Placing An Intangible Cultural Practice, Noah C.G. Johnson

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

Although Okinawa is now under the political administration of Japan, its history has been shaped under the influence of Chinese, Japanese and, most recently, American military domination. Moreover, both Okinawans and the Japanese of the mainland, recognize that Okinawa is differentiated from the rest of Japan by its individual history and distinct cultural practices. One of the most recognizable products of Okinawan culture is karate, at base a martial art but also a cultural practice inscribed with relationships and ideas inherited from wider Okinawan society. At the beginning of the 20th-century this practice was brought to mainland Japan. This paper …

The Fghog1 Pathway Regulates Hyphal Growth, Stress Responses, And Plant Infection In Fusarium Graminearum., Dawei Zheng, Shijie Zhang, Xiaoying Zhou, Chenfang Wang, Ping Xiang, Qian Zheng, Jin-Rong Xu

Department of Botany and Plant Pathology Faculty Publications

Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum is a destructive disease of wheat and barley worldwide. In a previous study of systematic characterization of protein kinase genes in F. graminearum, mutants of three putative components of the osmoregulation MAP kinase pathway were found to have distinct colony morphology and hyphal growth defects on PDA plates. Because the osmoregulation pathway is not known to regulate aerial hyphal growth and branching, in this study we further characterized the functions of the FgHog1 pathway in growth, pathogenesis, and development. The Fghog1, Fgpbs2, and Fgssk2 mutants were all reduced in …

The Art Of Regenerative Leadership: Language, Spirit, And Principles, Judith A. Sturnick

Education and Culture

What are the arenas where leadership and culture can be revitalized? In my own history of three university and college presidencies (public and private, traditional and non traditional), a stint in Washington, DC, as Vice President and Director of the Office of Women in Higher Education at the American Council on Education, the establishment of my own international business in executive leadership coaching and consulting, my work as a writer and teacher of leadership theory (including leadership and gender), and my experiences facilitating leadership training for developing nations under the auspices of the United Nations, I have consciously struggled with …

Curriculum Wars And Cold War Politics: The Struggle For Academic Freedom In Higher Education, Karen Lea Riley, Barbara Slater Stern

Education and Culture

During the early 1960s, in the formative years of Florida's newest university, the University of South Florida located in Tampa, the Florida Investigative Committee in true McCarthy-era style, set up its "Star Chamber" interviews with students and "others" at local motels near the University. The purpose of these "interviews" was to ferret out information about university administrators and instructors which would point to either their innocence or their guilt in terms of communist party membership, homosexuality, or the teaching of atheism. After an exhaustive process which left the intellectual community on Florida's West Coast shaken and dismayed at what it …

A Federally Supported Educational Reform Program: Individually Guided Education, 1964-1979, Pyeong-Gook Kim

Education and Culture

For over a century and a half, Americans have sought to reform the public schools as a way of improving not just education but society. They have translated their cultural anxieties and hopes into dramatic demands for educational reform. Individually Guided Education (IGE) was one of these educational reform efforts which extended over a period of fifteen years, beginning in 1964. IGE was conceptualized as a comprehensive alternative system of schooling designed to produce higher educational achievements by providing effectively for differences among students in rate of learning, learning style, and other characteristics (Klausmeier, 1972, p. 48). IGE, combining progressive …
