Exercise Tolerance And Alcohol Intake: Blood Pressure Relation, G. Harley Hartung, Harold W. Kohl Iii, Steven N. Blair, Steven J. Lawrence, Ronald B. Harrist

Faculty Publications

The relations of systolic and diastolic blood pressures to alcohol intake and exercise tolerance levels in 15,612 men and 3,855 women were investigated. Alcohol intake was assessed by questionnaire and stratified into seven levels for men and six for women according to the ounces of ethanol consumed per week. Exercise tolerance was determined by maximal treadmill exercise testing and was categorized into six age-specific by sex-specific levels. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly related to both alcohol intake and exercise tolerance levels in both men and women. These relations, which were positive for alcohol and negative for exercise …

Analysis Of Bacterial Genome Organization And Replication Using Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis, A. Dingwall, L. Shapiro, Bert Ely

Faculty Publications

The techniques described in this chapter provide a framework with which to begin an analysis of important features of bacterial genome organization and gene function. In this report we describe the preparation of chromosomal DNA, conditions for digestion with restriction endonucleases, and electrophoretic methods that result in the optimal resolution of large DNA restriction fragments. The sizes of the separated fragments can be summed to accurately determine genome size. The fragments can also be probed in hybridization experiments to produce low-resolution genomic restriction maps, and the precise locations of insertion or deletion mutations can be rapidly identified. In addition, PFGE …

A Judicial Postscript On The Church-State Debates Of 1989: How Porous The Wall, How Civil The State?, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

This work is a continuation of the debate regarding the Establishment Clause. The focus lies with Justice O’Connor’s concurrence in County of Allegheny v. ACLU and how this opinion harkens back to a concept shared by Jefferson and Madison, that the establishment clause is designed to prevent government favoritism.

Impacts On California Agriculture Of A Ban On Rice Straw Burning, B. Gardner Delworth, Richard E. Howitt, Charles Goodman

Faculty Publications

The burning of agricultural residues, particularly rice straw, has long been an issue of public concern in California's Sacramento Valley. Especially during days of autumn temperature inversions, the smoke in the atmosphere from burning is regarded by some as a serious health hazard and by nearly all residents as a public nuisance. Strong pressures have resulted in stringent regulations over agricultural burning, but a growing number of voices advocate a strict prohibition on burning. The prospect of a burning ban is worrisome to rice growers since burning is not only the most cost-effective way of disposing of the straw, but …

Suppression Of Lymphocyte Proliferation By A > 30,000 Molecular Weight Factor In Horse Conceptus-Conditioned Medium, T. L. Roth, K. L. White, D. L. Thompson, B. E. Barry, J. S. Capehart, D. R. Colborn, M. H. Rabb

Faculty Publications

In this experiment we have identified and partially characterized the immunosuppressive activity of preimplantation horse conceptus-conditioned medium (HCCM). Horse conceptuses were nonsurgically flushed from mares at Days 9-10 (n = 6), 15-16 (n = 3), and 25-26 (n = 3). After incubating the conceptuses for 24 h in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 15% fetal calf serum (FCS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin, HCCM was obtained from cultures and tested for immunosuppressive activity in lymphocyte proliferation assays. Peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from randomly selected mares were stimulated with mitogens (pokeweed mitogen [PWM], concanavalin A [Con A], and phytohemagglutinin [PHA]) in cultures supplemented with 0%, …

Landscape Development And Coastal Wetland Losses In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico, R. Eugene Turner

Faculty Publications

The causes of the extensive (0.86%/yr; 288,414 ha/yr) and well documented dramatic and accelerating rate of coastal wetland loss in the northern Gulf of Mexico were investigated by an interdisciplinary university research team to discern the role of outer continental shelf development. The landscape changes and potential causal agents are emphasized herein. Natural driving factors include sea level rise and geological com- paction, which appear to remain constant this century, and sediment supply from the Mississippi River which has declined by 50%,since the 1950s. Man-made influences include hydrologic changes from river diversions, flood protection levees, an extensive canal and spoil …

Inhomogeneous Broadening In Spectral Bands Of Carbonmonoxymyoglobin: The Connection Between Spectral And Functional Heterogeneity, Todd B. Sauke, P. Ormos, A. Ansari, D. Braunstein, B. R. Cowen, H. Fraunfelder, M. K. Hong, I. E. T. Iben, P. J. Steinbach, R. D. Young

Faculty Publications

The rebinding kinetics of CO to myoglobin after flash photolysis is nonexponential in time below approximately 180 K; the kinetics is governed by a distribution of enthalpic barriers. This distribution results from inhomogeneities in the protein conformation, referred to as conformational substates. Hole-burning experiments on the Soret and IR CO-stretch bands test the assumption that an inhomogeneous distribution of conformational substates results in inhomogeneously broadened spectra. CO was slowly photolyzed at different wavelengths in the Soret band at 10 K. Both the Soret band and the CO-stretch band A1, centered at 1,945 cm-1, shift during photolysis, demonstrating that different wavelengths …

Mississippi’S Furniture Industry Provides A Market For Forest Products, Steven H. Bullard

Faculty Publications

If you own timberland in Mississippi that has a hardwood component, you definitely should be interested in the furniture industry and the outlook for the use of wood in this market. The furniture industry provides a ready market for high quality hardwoods, as well as for lower quality hardwood timber; the outlook for the use of wood of both types is very favorable - particularly in the production of upholstered and non-upholstered furniture for household use.

Emergency In The Constitutional Law Of The United States, William B. Fisch

Faculty Publications

In the following report I shall concentrate on the law as pronounced by the United States Supreme Court, which has, within the sphere of judicial competence, the last say on the interpretation of the Constitution. The volume of significant litigation on the subject which stops below the Supreme Court has been relatively light, and the constitutional law declared by the lower courts has played a less significant role than is the case in many other issues. Indeed, as we shall see, the Supreme Court itself has had less to say on the topic than might be hoped for. I shall …

Insulin Responsiveness In Skeletal Muscle Is Determined By Glucose Transporter (Glut4) Protein Level, M. Kern, J. A. Wells, J. M. Stephens, C. W. Elton, J. E. Friedman, E. B. Tapscott, P. H. Pekala, G. L. Dohm

Faculty Publications

Glucose transport in skeletal muscle is mediated by two distinct transporter isoforms, designated muscle/adipose glucose transporter (Glut4) and erythrocyte/HepG2/brain glucose transporter (Glut1), which differ in both abundance and membrane distribution. The present study was designed to investigate whether differences in insulin responsiveness of red and white muscle might be due to differential expression of the glucose transporter isoforms. Glucose transport, as well as Glut1 and Glut4 protein and mRNA levels, were determined in red and white portions of the quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscles of male Sprague-Dawley rats (body wt. approx. 250 g). Maximal glucose transport (in response to 100 nM-insulin) …

Intrinsic Tryptophan Fluorescence Measurements Suggest That Polylactosaminyl Glycosylation Affects The Protein Conformation Of The Gelatin‐Binding Domain From Human Placental Fibronectin, Betty C.R. Zhu, Roger A. Laine, Mary D. Barkley

Faculty Publications

Glycosylation can affect the physical and biochemical properties of the polypeptide chain in glycoproteins. Asparagine‐N‐linked polylactosaminyl glycosylation of the chymotryptic 44‐kDa gelatin‐binding domain from human placental fibronectin confers protease resistance [Zhu, B. C. R., Fisher, S. F., Panda, H., Calaycay, J., Shively, J. E. & Laine, R. A. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 3962–3970] and weakens the binding to gelatin [Zhu, B. C. R. & Laine, R. A. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 4041–4045]. Intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of the gelatinbinding domain was used to probe glycosylation‐dependent protein conformation changes. In gelatin‐binding fragments containing incrementally smaller polylactosamine oligosaccharides, the fluorescence intensity …

Slowdown In The Decline Of Stroke Mortality In The United States, 1978-1986, Richard Cooper, Christopher Sempos, Shih Chao Hsieh, Mary Grace Kovar

Faculty Publications

The gradual decline in stroke mortality rates observed in the United States since 1900 accelerated markedly around 1973 for whites and around 1968 for blacks. During the next decade stroke mortality rates decreased by almost 50% so that the United States now experiences one of the lowest stroke mortality rates in the world. Beginning in 1979, however, the annual rate of decline in stroke mortality began to slow considerably. Comparing the period 1979-1986 with the previous decade, a 57% slowing in the absolute rate of decline (as estimated by the slope of the linear portion of the mortality curve) was …
