Military Conservation Partnerships, Laura M. Caballero Feb 2002

Military Conservation Partnerships, Laura M. Caballero

Master's Projects

The military has unintentionally become a steward of some of our country’s most precious natural resources. Many military installations surrounded by encroaching urbanization have earned reputations for being “islands of biodiversity” (Army Congressional Testimony to Senate Armed Forces Committee, 2001). Military training land provides a safe harbor for wildlife displaced by urban development. In addition, most military installations escape erosion problems caused by high-density development and boast some of the purest wetlands in their communities. Military installations also provide communities with excellent recreation opportunities, from wildlife viewing and hiking to hunting and fishing. The military takes pride in its commitment …


Global Expression Profiling Of Acetate-Grown Escherichia Coli, Min-Kyu Oh, Lars Rohlin, Katy Kao, James Liao Jan 2002

Global Expression Profiling Of Acetate-Grown Escherichia Coli, Min-Kyu Oh, Lars Rohlin, Katy Kao, James Liao

Faculty Publications

This study characterized the transcript profile of Escherichia coli in acetate cultures using DNA microarray on glass slides. Glucose-grown cultures were used as a reference. At the 95% confidence level, 354 genes were up-regulated in acetate, while 370 genes were down-regulated compared with the glucose-grown culture. Generally, more metabolic genes were up-regulated in acetate than other gene groups, while genes involved in cell replication, transcription, and translation machinery tended to be down-regulated. It appears that E. coli commits more resources to metabolism at the expense of growth when cultured in the poor carbon source. The expression profile confirms many known …


Familial Als-Associated Mutations Decrease The Thermal Stability Of Distinctly Metallated Species Of Human Copper/Zinc Superoxide Dismutase, Daryl K. Eggers, J. A. Rodriguez, J. S. Valentine, J. A. Roe, A. Tiwari, R. H. Brown, L. J. Hayward Jan 2002

Familial Als-Associated Mutations Decrease The Thermal Stability Of Distinctly Metallated Species Of Human Copper/Zinc Superoxide Dismutase, Daryl K. Eggers, J. A. Rodriguez, J. S. Valentine, J. A. Roe, A. Tiwari, R. H. Brown, L. J. Hayward

Faculty Publications, Chemistry

We report the thermal stability of wild type (WT) and 14 different variants of human copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). Multiple endothermic unfolding transitions were observed by differential scanning calorimetry for partially metallated SOD1 enzymes isolated from a baculovirus system. We correlated the metal ion contents of SOD1 variants with the occurrence of distinct melting transitions. Altered thermal stability upon reduction of copper with dithionite identified transitions resulting from the unfolding of copper-containing SOD1 species. We demonstrated that copper or zinc binding to a subset of “WT-like” FALS mutants (A4V, L38V, G41S, G72S, D76Y, …


Heart Rate And Energy Expenditure Of Incubating Wandering Albatrosses: Basal Levels, Natural Variation, And The Effects Of Human Disturbance, H Weimerskirch, Scott A. Shaffer, G Mabille, J Martin, O Boutard, J-L Rouanet Jan 2002

Heart Rate And Energy Expenditure Of Incubating Wandering Albatrosses: Basal Levels, Natural Variation, And The Effects Of Human Disturbance, H Weimerskirch, Scott A. Shaffer, G Mabille, J Martin, O Boutard, J-L Rouanet

Faculty Publications, Biological Sciences

We studied the changes in heart rate (HR) associated with metabolic rate of incubating and resting adult wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) on the Crozet Islands. Metabolic rates of resting albatrosses fitted with external HR recorders were measured in a metabolic chamber to calibrate the relationship between HR and oxygen consumption (V̇O2) (V̇O2=0.074×HR+0.019, r2=0.567, P<0.001, where V̇O2 is in ml kg–1 min–1 and HR is in beats min–1). Incubating albatrosses were then fitted with HR recorders to estimate energy expenditure of albatrosses within natural field conditions. We also examined the natural variation in HR and the effects of human disturbance on nesting birds by monitoring the changes in HR. Basal HR was positively related to the mass of the individual. The HR of incubating birds corresponded to a metabolic rate that was 1.5-fold (males) and 1.8-fold (females) lower than basal metabolic rate (BMR) measured in this and a previous study. The difference was probably attributable to birds being stressed while they were held in the metabolic chamber or wearing a mask. Thus, previous measurements of metabolic rate under basal conditions or for incubating wandering albatrosses are likely to be overestimates. Combining the relationship between HR and metabolic rate for both sexes, we estimate that wandering albatrosses expend 147 kJ kg–1 day–1 to incubate their eggs. In addition, the cost of incubation was assumed to vary because (i) HR was higher during the day than at night, and (ii) there was an effect of wind chill (<0°C) on basal HR. The presence of humans in the vicinity of the nest or after a band control was shown to increase HR for extended periods (2–3 h), suggesting that energy expenditure was increased as a result of the disturbance. Lastly, males and females reacted differently to handling in terms of HR response: males reacted more strongly than females before handling, whereas females took longer to recover after being handled.

Perceived Internal Depth In Rotating And Translating Objects, M. L. Braunstein, C. W. Sauer, Cary S. Feria, G. J. Andersen Jan 2002

Perceived Internal Depth In Rotating And Translating Objects, M. L. Braunstein, C. W. Sauer, Cary S. Feria, G. J. Andersen

Faculty Publications

Previous research has indicated that observers use differences between velocities and ratios of velocities to judge the depth within a moving object, although depth cannot in general be determined from these quantities. In four experiments we examined the relative effects of velocity difference and velocity ratio on judged depth within a transparent object that was rotating about a vertical axis and translating horizontally, examined the effects of the velocity difference for pure rotations and pure translations, and examined the effect of the velocity difference for objects that varied in simulated internal depth. Both the velocity difference and the velocity ratio …
