Patriotism And The Super Bowl - Drugs And Sport, Richard C. Crepeau Feb 2002

Patriotism And The Super Bowl - Drugs And Sport, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Watching the Super Bowl on Sunday one could not avoid being moved by some aspect or another of the patriotism on display. 9/11 remains strong in the memory of us all and as I noted last September sport does provide us with opportunities for collective mourning, remembrance, and expressions of patriotism. I also noted that it is a characteristic of Americans to move toward excess in almost everything we do in public ritual.

Method And Apparatus For Decoupled Thermo-Photocatalytic Pollution Control, Nazim Muradov, Eric Martin, Ali Raissi Jan 2002

Method And Apparatus For Decoupled Thermo-Photocatalytic Pollution Control, Nazim Muradov, Eric Martin, Ali Raissi

UCF Patents

A new method for design and scale-up of photocatalytic and thermocatalytic processes is disclosed. The method is based on optimizing photoprocess energetics by decoupling of the process energy efficiency from the DRE for target contaminants. The technique is applicable to photo-thermocatalytic reactor design and scale-up. At low irradiance levels, the method is based on the implementation of low pressure drop biopolymeric and synthetic polymeric support for titanium dioxide and other band-gap media. At high irradiance levels, the method utilizes multifunctional metal oxide aerogels and other media within a novel rotating fluidized particle bed reactor.

Ancient Antibiotics : Tetracycline In Human And Animal Bone From The Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt, Corey Maggiano Jan 2002

Ancient Antibiotics : Tetracycline In Human And Animal Bone From The Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt, Corey Maggiano

HIM 1990-2015

Two decades ago archaeologists in northern Africa discovered evidence that an antibiotic was somehow included in diet of ancient peoples, possibly affecting the health of the population. It has been proposed that the causative organisms are Streptomyces aureofaciens - ubiquitous, mold-like, tetracycline-producing bacteria that could have contaminated grain products. Upon consumption, tetracyclines are incorporated into developing or remodeling bone, remaining observable under ultraviolet light for thousands of years. The current project focuses on an analysis of Roman-Egyptian human and animal bone from the Dakhleh Oasis in southwestern Egypt (100 BC to AD 360). Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is used …

Protein Farnesyltransferase And Protein Prenylation In Plasmodium Falciparum, Debopam Chakrabarti, Thiago Da Silva, Jennifer Barger, Steve Paquette, Hetal Patel, Shelley Patterson, Charles M. Allen

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Comparison of the malaria parasite and mammalian protein prenyltransferases and their cellular substrates is important for establishing this enzyme as a target for developing antimalarial agents. Nineteen heptapeptides differing only in their carboxyl-terminal amino acid were tested as alternative substrates of partially purified Plasmodium falciparum protein farnesyltransferase. Only NRSCAIM and NRSCAIQ serve as substrates, with NRSCAIM being the best. Peptidomimetics, FTI-276 and GGTI-287, inhibit the transferase with IC50 values of 1 and 32 nm, respectively. Incubation of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes with [H-3]farnesol labels 50- and 22-28-kDa proteins, whereas [H-3]geranylgeraniol labels only 22-28-kDa proteins. The 50-kDa protein is shown to be …

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

To identify human proteins that bind to the Smac and caspase-9 binding pocket on the baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) repeat 3 (BIR3) domain of human XIAP, we used BIR3 as an affinity reagent, followed by elution with the BIR3 binding peptide AVPIA microsequencing, and mass spectrometry. The mature serine protease Omi (also known as HtrA2) was identified as a mitochondrial direct BIR3-binding protein and a caspase activator. Like mature Smac (also known as Diablo), mature Omi contains a conserved LAP-binding motif (AVPS) at its N terminus, which is exposed after processing of its N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence upon …


Down-Regulation Of Cdc6, A Cell Cycle Regulatory Gene, In Prostate Cancer, Liza D. Robles, Andra R. Frost, Monica Davila, Alan D. Hutson, William E. Grizzle, Ratna Chakrabarti Jan 2002

Down-Regulation Of Cdc6, A Cell Cycle Regulatory Gene, In Prostate Cancer, Liza D. Robles, Andra R. Frost, Monica Davila, Alan D. Hutson, William E. Grizzle, Ratna Chakrabarti

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

CDC6 plays a critical role in regulation of the onset of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. We have found that Cdc6 expression is down-regulated in prostate cancer as detected by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR of prostate cell lines and laser-captured microdissected prostate tissues. This result was substantiated by immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded tissue sections and immunoblot analysis of benign (BPH-1) and adenocarcinomatous prostatic cells. Furthermore, a 100-fold reduction in the transcription efficiency of the Cdc6 promoter-luciferase construct was noted in the metastatic PC3 cells compared with that in BPH-1 cells. Concentration of the E2F and Oct1 transcription factors that have putative …


Method Of Adjustments Versus Method Of Constant Stimuli In The Quantification Of Accuracy And Precision Of Rendered Depth In Head-Mounted Displays, J. P. Rolland, C. Meyer, K. Arthur, E. Rinalducci Jan 2002

Method Of Adjustments Versus Method Of Constant Stimuli In The Quantification Of Accuracy And Precision Of Rendered Depth In Head-Mounted Displays, J. P. Rolland, C. Meyer, K. Arthur, E. Rinalducci

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

The utilization of head-mounted displays (HMDs) in high-end applications such as medical, engineering, and scientific visualization necessitates that the position of objects be rendered accurately and precisely. Accuracy and precision of rendered depth for near-field visualization were measured in a custom-designed bench prototype HMD. Experimental results were compared to theoretical predictions established from a computational model for rendering and presenting virtual images by Robinett and Rolland (1992). Such a theoretical model provided the necessary graphics transformations required so that rendered virtual objects be perceived at the rendered depth in binocular HMDs, Three object shapes of various sizes were investigated under …


Field Detection And Monitoring Of Explosives, Jehuda Yinon Jan 2002

Field Detection And Monitoring Of Explosives, Jehuda Yinon

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Detection of explosives in situ is of major importance in several applications: finding hidden explosives in airport luggage and in mail; screening of personnel for concealed explosives; environmental monitoring of explosives-contaminated sites; and, detection of buried landmines. Mobile and hand-held detectors have been developed for the various applications. They can be sub-divided into three classes: vapor and particle detectors; radiation detectors; and, biochemical detectors. An overview of the various explosives detectors and their principles of operation is presented. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Motivational Factors And Personality Traits Of Individuals Who Decide To Enter A Career As A Firefighter/Paramedic, Robert D. Holborn

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated whether there were specific behavioral patterns and/ or Auxiliary traits of individuals who choose a career as a Firefighter/ Paramedic. The study also determined if there are certain motivational factors that influence these individuals to enter this profession. Additionally, this study determined whether job satisfaction as a Firefighter/Paramedic could be predicted based on the individuals behavioral type, personality trait(s) and/or the motivational factors that influenced their career choice. This study analyzed 272 responses to the Long/ Dziuban Checklist Survey; the researcher-designed questionnaire on motivational factors; and the researcher-designed questionnaire on job satisfaction. The Long/Dziuban Checklist Survey allowed …
