New Mexico's Cuarto Centenario: History In Visual Dialogue, Alison Fields Jan 2011

New Mexico's Cuarto Centenario: History In Visual Dialogue, Alison Fields

American Studies Faculty and Staff Publications

Out of the aftermath of the New Mexico Cuarto Centenario (the four hundredth anniversary of the Spanish explorer Don Juan de Oñate's 1598 settlement in present-day New Mexico) came a pledge to create a memorial for the conquistador. The memorial was envisioned as a tri-cultural endeavor, with Reynaldo "Sonny" Rivera, Betty Sabo, and Nora Naranjo-Morse collaborating. Because of his complex legacy, the three artists could not agree on how to represent Oñate. Rivera and Sabo ultimately crafted a series of bronze statues of Oñate and his entourage titled "La Jornada," while Naranjo-Morse created an earthwork titled "Numbe Whageh." These two …

Ogalala Sioux Tribal Profile, Karen Kimbro Chase Jan 2011

Ogalala Sioux Tribal Profile, Karen Kimbro Chase

Tribal Law Journal

This profile offers an excellent overview of Oglala Sioux law, both traditional and modern. Like many tribes, the Indian Reorganization Act had a major impact on the contemporary law of the Oglala Sioux. While the IRA resulted in tribal constitutions that reflected the values of the U.S. Constitution, this profile examines the traditional and customary law that was subsequently incorporated into the Oglala Sioux Constitution. This profile includes a brief history of the Oglala Sioux, overview of traditional law, governmental structure, summary of contemporary law, and history of political activism.


Too Hot To Handle: Climate Change And Agricultural Water Use, Denise D. Fort Jan 2011

Too Hot To Handle: Climate Change And Agricultural Water Use, Denise D. Fort

Faculty Scholarship

The world faces enormous challenges in responding to looming crises in food and water. Responding to this challenge will require flexibility; such flexibility may be impeded by legal institutions. This paper looks at the western United States and discusses the role of irrigated agriculture in that region. Because of climate change, a growing population, declining groundwater, the need to protect ecosystems and other conflicts, the author suggests that all water uses, including long-standing agricultural water rights, need to be examined in light of these changes. Legal systems have tended to serve the status quo, but perhaps the law can help …

Proposed Hsc Governance Regents Policy Revisions, Unm University Counsel Dec 2010

Proposed Hsc Governance Regents Policy Revisions, Unm University Counsel

Faculty Senate Documents

Attached is a packet of proposed revised Regents policies pertaining to the HSC Governance reorganization proposal. After careful review, the Policy Office concluded that the earlier format of proposed revisions to Regent Policy 2.13 (which was originally presented to the Regents on November 16, 2010 and integrated a range of policy modifications into a single and very lengthy policy), was confusing and administratively burdensome. Therefore, the previously circulated Regent Policy 2.13 has been replaced by four separate proposed Regent policies, RPM\xa7\xa7 3.4 through 3.7. The general structure of the Health Sciences Center, as well as the role of the new …

"Still Undecided" But Chile Leans Toward Nuclear Energy, Benjamin Witte-Lebhar Dec 2010

"Still Undecided" But Chile Leans Toward Nuclear Energy, Benjamin Witte-Lebhar

NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America

A revealing visit to France last month by President Sebastián Piñera has reignited a long smoldering debate in Chile over the "nuclear option." Careful not to endorse the possibility outright, the Chilean leader nevertheless make it clear during an Oct. 20 stopover in Paris that, with the benefit of some French know-how, nuclear power plants may eventually be in the cards for Chile." Chile has to prepare itself for the world of nuclear energy," Piñera said following a meeting with his French counterpart President Nicolas Sarkozy. "Our government has the obligation to prepare our engineers, scientists, and technical workers." The …


Role Of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 Alpha In Neural Stem/Progenitor Cell Function Following Hypoxia, Kate M. Harms Candelario Dec 2010

Role Of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 Alpha In Neural Stem/Progenitor Cell Function Following Hypoxia, Kate M. Harms Candelario

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Stroke can be caused by focal ischemia due to cerebral artery occlusion or by global ischemia that occurs when global blood supply to the brain is interrupted. The acute phase of ischemic brain injury is followed by a more prolonged period of revascularization and repair that can last for several months. One hallmark of this repair phase includes an endogenous neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) regenerative response that occurs concomitant with angiogenesis. Several studies suggest that the cytogenic response is beneficial for recovery following stroke, however, more studies need to be done to determine whether the beneficial effects are due to …


Biogeography Of Alien Vertebrates In The Galapagos Islands: Patterns, Processes, And Conservation Implications, Reese Brand Phillips Dec 2010

Biogeography Of Alien Vertebrates In The Galapagos Islands: Patterns, Processes, And Conservation Implications, Reese Brand Phillips

Biology ETDs

Alien species are one of the principal threats to global biodiversity. Insular ecosystems have proven exceptionally susceptible to invasion by aliens and vulnerable to their negative effects. Some of the most destructive alien species are vertebrates, in part due to their having been introduced to islands worldwide. Rodents (Rattus spp. and Mus musculus) are among the most widespread and devastating invasive species for insular flora and fauna. In this research I investigate the biogeographic patterns and processes of alien vertebrates in the Galapagos Islands, focusing on the mechanisms that influence their dispersal and colonization within the archipelago. In the first …


The Spatial Ecology Of Galapagos Tortoises And New Mexico's Reptiles, Jacek Tomasz Giermakowski Dec 2010

The Spatial Ecology Of Galapagos Tortoises And New Mexico's Reptiles, Jacek Tomasz Giermakowski

Biology ETDs

The analysis of spatial processes and spatial heterogeneity is an important part of ecology because distribution of organisms in space partly defines ecology as a discipline. In addition, advances in analysis of DNA, geographical computing and the availability of vast amounts of environmental data obtained by satellites provide new opportunities for studying ecology at different spatial and phylogenetic scales. My research takes advantage of information gathered by satellites and adds modeling and data collected on the distribution of different reptiles to examine processes at various spatial and temporal scales. In Chapter 1 I describe how juvenile Galapagos tortoises change their …


Regulation Of Cyclin E Stability In Xenopus Laevis Embryos, Yekaterina Brandt-(Webb) Dec 2010

Regulation Of Cyclin E Stability In Xenopus Laevis Embryos, Yekaterina Brandt-(Webb)

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Cyclin-Cdk complexes positively regulate cell cycle progression. Cyclins are regulatory subunits that bind to and activate cyclin-dependent kinases or Cdks. Cyclin E associates with Cdk2 to mediate G1/S phase transition of the cell cycle. Cyclin E is overexpressed in breast, lung, skin, gastrointestinal, cervical, and ovarian cancers. Its overexpression correlates with poor patient prognosis and is involved in the etiology of breast cancer. We have been studying how this protein is downregulated during development in order to determine if these mechanisms are disrupted during tumorigenesis, leading to its overexpression. Using Xenopus laevis embryos as a model, we have shown previously …


An Impaired 20s Proteasome Contributes To The Accumulation Of Oxidized Proteins In Multiple Sclerosis And Its Animal Model, Jianzheng Zheng Dec 2010

An Impaired 20s Proteasome Contributes To The Accumulation Of Oxidized Proteins In Multiple Sclerosis And Its Animal Model, Jianzheng Zheng

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Carbonylated (oxidized) proteins are known to accumulate in the brain of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and in the spinal cord of rats with acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Yet, our knowledge regarding mechanism(s) underlying the build-up of protein carbonyls in these inflammatory demyelinating disorders is quite limited. The objectives of this dissertation were (1) to measure the changes in protein carbonylation during disease progression, and to identify the target cells and modified proteins in the cerebellum of EAE animals, prepared by active immunization of C57/BL6 mice with MOG35-55 peptide, (2) to determine if the accumulation of carbonylated proteins in …


Epigenetic Regulation Of Neuronal Maturation: The Effect Of Mecp2 And Micrornas On The Maturation Of Hippocampal Neurons, Richard D. Smrt Dec 2010

Epigenetic Regulation Of Neuronal Maturation: The Effect Of Mecp2 And Micrornas On The Maturation Of Hippocampal Neurons, Richard D. Smrt

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Dendrites and the dendritic spines of neurons play key roles in the connectivity of the brain and have been recognized as the locus of long-term synaptic plasticity, which is correlated with learning and memory. The development of dendrites and spines in the mammalian central nervous system is a complex process that requires specific molecular events over a period of time. It has been shown that specific molecules are needed not only at the spines point of contact, but also at a distance, providing signals that initiate a cascade of events leading to synapse formation. The specific molecules that act to …
