Aspartate 19 And Glutamate 121 Are Critical For Transport Function Of The Myo-Inositol/H+ Symporter From Leishmania Donovani, Andreas Seyfang, Michael Kavanaugh, Scott M. Landfear

Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

The protozoan flagellate Leishmania donovani has an active myo-inositol/proton symporter (MIT), which is driven by a proton gradient across the parasite membrane. We have used site-directed mutagenesis in combination with functional expression of transporter mutants in Xenopusoocytes and overexpression in Leishmania transfectants to investigate the significance of acidic transmembrane residues for proton relay and inositol transport. MIT has only three charged amino acids within predicted transmembrane domains. Two of these residues, Asp¹⁹ (TM1) and Glu¹²¹ (TM4), appeared to be critical for transport function of MIT, with a reduction of inositol transport to about 2% of wild-type …

A Review Of Phil Washburn, "Philosophical Dilemmas: Building A Worldview", Mike W. Martin

Philosophy Faculty Articles and Research

Lucidly written, this extensive and very original introduction to philosophy features over fifty brief, jargon-free essays arranged in pairs. Each pair answers one of the principal philosophical questions, such as "Does God exist?" or "Are we free?", with two opposing points of view. On the topic of relativism, for example, one essay argues that morality is created by society and relative to it, while the other claims that moral standards are absolute and universal. Each essay takes a definite stand and promotes it vigorously, creating a sharp contrast between the two positions. While the essays often employ standard arguments of …

What Is Literature? A Definition Based On Prototypes, Jim Meyer

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

Most definitions of literature have been criterial definitions, definitions based on a list of criteria which all literary works must meet. However, more current theories of meaning take the view that definitions are based on prototypes: there is broad agreement about good examples that meet all of the prototypical characteristics, and other examples are related to the prototypes by family resemblance. For literary works, prototypical characteristics include careful use of language, being written in a literary genre (poetry, prose fiction, or drama), being read aesthetically, and containing many weak implicatures.

Feasibility Of A Dairy Cooperative Purchasing An Existing Feedmill, Deevon Bailey

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

A dairy cooperative in Wayne County, Utah, is considering purchasing a small, local, bankrupt feedmill. A financial analysis was conducted to determine the economic feasibility of the cooperative purchasing the assets of the feedmill. To be price competitive with a nearby feedmill, the cooperative's feedmill would need an annual production volume equal to the annual feed consumption of3,000 dairy cows.

Relevant Pacific Basin Market Areas For The U.S. Pork Industry, Christopher B. Barrett, Deevon Bailey, Jau-Rong Li, Erica Suet-Ying Lai

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

This project involved three steps. First, we assembled a consolidated data set on prices, trade flow volumes, and transfer costs-the costs of moving product from one location to another-for feed grains (com and soybean meal), slaughter hogs, and fresh or chilled carcasses and primal cuts (bellies, hams, loins, ribs) among the eight main pork economies of the Pacific Rim (Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, Taiwan, the United States), covering the years 1990-96. By making available for the first time comparable international data, we have helped resolve a major stumbling block to careful empirical analysis of factor and product …

Error Correction Models And Spatial Market Integration: Evidence For Cattle Markets In The U.S., Gertrude S. Muwanga, Donald L. Snyder

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

Utilizing Cattle-Fax data, Granger-causality error correction models were used to determine whether the sufficient condition for market integration was satisfied for six cattle classes and twelve markets for which the necessary condition was already indicated. The bivariate results indicated that all the markets satisfied the sufficient condition, at least in one direction. The lightweight animals exhibited bidirectional causality more often than the heavy weight animals. Overall, bidirectional causality was most frequent for 400-pound steers and least frequent for 800-pound steers. The multivariate results were less optimal due to the restricted number of lags.

Geology And Ground Water, Cheyenne County, Nebraska, Robert F. Diffendal Jr.

Robert F. Diffendal, Jr., Publications

The oldest rock unit exposed in Cheyenne County is the upper part of the Brule Formation, which is the youngest formation of the White River Group of the Oligocene epoch (33-29 million years old). Surface outcrops, road cuts, and railroad cuts through the Brule Formation occur along the sides of valleys along Lodgepole Creek from just east of Sidney westward to the vicinity of Brownson, along the valley sides of Sidney Draw and its tributaries, and along the sides of an unnamed drainageway northwest of Colton. Test drilling and drilling for wells along the floor of Lodgepole Creek have revealed …

Growth Of Vibrio Anguillarum In Salmon Intestinal Mucus, T. Garcia, K. Otto, S. Kjelleberg, David R. Nelson

Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)

The physiological changes of Vibrio anguillarum in response to growth in salmon intestinal mucus were investigated. Growth, survival, and changes in protein expression during growth in media supplemented with mucus were compared to growth and starvation in the identical media without mucus. V. anguillarum exhibited a rapid decline in CFU following growth in mucus as the sole carbon source. No such decline was observed in Luria broth with a 2% NaCl concentration, in glucose-minimal broth (3M), or during starvation in a carbon-, nitrogen-, and phosphorus-free salt solution (NSS). The changes in protein expression during growth in mucus were examined by …
