Age-Dependent Increase In Ortho-Tyrosine And Methionine Sulfoxide In Human Skin Collagen Is Not Accelerated In Diabetes: Evidence Against A Generalized Increase In Oxidative Stress In Diabetes, Mary C. Wells-Knecht, Timothy J. Lyons, David R. Mccance, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes

Faculty Publications

The glycoxidation products Nepsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine and pentosidine increase in skin collagen with age and at an accelerated rate in diabetes. Their age-adjusted concentrations in skin collagen are correlated with the severity of diabetic complications. To determine the relative roles of increased glycation and/or oxidation in the accelerated formation of glycoxidation products in diabetes, we measured levels of amino acid oxidation products, distinct from glycoxidative modifications of amino acids, as independent indicators of oxidative stress and damage to collagen in aging and diabetes. We show that ortho-tyrosine and methionine sulfoxide are formed in concert with Nepsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine and pentosidine during glycoxidation of collagen …

Evolution And Nebulousness In Theories, Barry N. Markovsky

Faculty Publications

Social scientists have a clear choice in how they may approach theory development. One path leads to "nebulous" theories that lack any real explanatory power. The other path capitalizes on evolutionary principles of variation and selection, vastly increasing the chances for explanatory success. I illustrate these ideas by reference to "artificial life" programs, and discuss the implications for theory construction in the social sciences.

Monetary Policy Preferences Of Individual Fomc Members: A Content Analysis Of The Memoranda Of Discussion, Henry W. Chappell Jr., Thomas M. Havrilesky, Rob Roy Mcgregor

Faculty Publications

The Memoranda of Discussion provide detailed records of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting deliberations. Procedures are developed for coding the textual data in the Memoranda and assessing the reliability of those codings. The codings are then used in the estimation of parameters of individual FOMC members' reaction functions. Data from the 1970 to 1976 period are employed in the estimation. In the future, similar methods could be used to analyze newly released transcripts of FOMC meetings held after 1976.

Hamish Henderson: The Desert War, Italy, And Scottish Poetry, Patrick G. Scott

Faculty Publications

Catalogue of library exhibition about the Scottish poet and folk musicologist Hamish Henderson (1919-2002), covering Henderson's career during World War II, with the 51st Highland Division in the Western Desert and with the Italian resistance, and after the war as prize-winning poet, as political theorist and translator of Gramsci, as a champion and collector of Scottish traditional song, and as folk performer and composer. Includes information on the Henderson manuscripts in the G. Ross Roy Collection at the University of South Carolina, including drafts of his poem Elegies for the Dead in Cyrenaica (1948).

Antisense Expression Of The Peptide Transport Gene Atptr2-B Delays Flowering And Arrests Seed Development In Transgenic Arabidopsis Plants, Wei Song, Serry Koh, Mihály Czakó, László Márton, Eliana Drenkard, Jeffrey M. Becker, Gary Stacey

Faculty Publications

Previously, we identified a peptide transport gene, AtPTRZ-B, from Arabidopsis thaliana that was constitutively expressed in all plant organs, suggesting an important physiological role in plant growth and development. To evaluate the function of this transporter, transgenic Arabidopsis plants were constructed expressing antisense or sense AtPTRZ-B. Genomic Southern analysis indicated that four independent antisense and three independent sense AtPTRZ-B transgenic lines were obtained, which was confirmed by analysis of the segregation of the kanamycin resistance gene carried on the T-DNA. RNA blot data showed that the endogenous AtPJRZ-B mRNA levels were significantly reduced in transgenic leaves and …

Carboxymethylethanolamine, A Biomarker Of Phospholipid Modification During The Maillard Reaction In Vivo, Jesus R. Requena, Mahtab U. Ahmed, C. Wesley Fountain, Thorsten P. Degenhardt, Sharanya Reddy, Cliff Perez, Timothy J. Lyons, Alicia J. Jenkins, John W. Baynes, Suzanne R. Thorpe

Faculty Publications

Nepsilon-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) is a stable chemical modification of proteins formed from both carbohydrates and lipids during autoxidation reactions. We hypothesized that carboxymethyl lipids such as (carboxymethyl)phosphatidylethanolamine (carboxymethyl-PE) would also be formed in these reactions, and we therefore developed a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry assay for quantification of carboxymethylethanolamine (CME) following hydrolysis of phospholipids. In vitro, CME was formed during glycation of dioleoyl-PE under air and from linoleoylpalmitoyl-PE, but not from dioleoyl-PE, in the absence of glucose. In vivo, CME was detected in lipid extracts of red blood cell membranes, approximately 0.14 mmol of CME/mol of ethanolamine, from control and diabetic subjects, …

Intrinsic Decoherence In Mesoscopic Systems, P. Mohanty, E. M.Q. Jariwala, Richard A. Webb

Faculty Publications

We present measurements of the phase coherence time τ_φ in six quasi-1D Au wires and clearly show that τ_φ is temperature independent at low temperatures. We suggest that zero-point fluctuations of the phase coherent electrons are responsible for the observed saturation of τ_φ. We introduce a new functional form for the temperature dependence and present the results of a calculation for the saturation value of τ_φ. This explains the observed temperature dependence of our samples as well as many 1D and 2D systems reported to date.
