The Association Of The Human Cytomegalovirus Genome With The Cellular Nuclear Matrix, Brent Arnold

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The regulatory region of the major immediate early gene (MIE) of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been analyzed for its capability of fulfilling criteria defining nuclear scaffold/matrix attachment regions (S/MARs). These criteria are: 1) binding the nuclear matrix in an in vitro nuclear matrix binding assay; 2) binding the nuclear scaffold in an in situ nuclear scaffold binding assay; and 3) activating transcription of reporter genes in stabile transformed cells.

The MIE gene was cloned, digested with restriction endonucleases, and the resulting DNA fragments were reacted with nuclear matrices prepared in vitro. Relative to coding region and vector fragments, the …

A Profile Of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria In The James River, Keith Allen Boisvert

Master's Theses

Spatial and temporal variability in the antibiotic resistance of bacterial assemblages in the lower portion of the James River was examined. The antibiotic resistance of culturable coliforms was compared to the resistance in the microbial community. Antibiotic resistance was determined via colony formation on media containing antibiotics. The antibiotics ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin and tetracycline were used at concentrations ranging from 10 to 500 ug/ml. Statistically significant differences in the mean number of antibiotic resistant isolates were observed among both sample sites and dates. The sampling site at river mile 99 just below Richmond showed both increased antibiotic resistance and bacterial …

Asymbiotic In Vitro Seed Germination, Micropropagation And Scanning Electron Microscopy Of Several Temperate Terrestrial Orchids (Orchidaceae), Erika Szendrák

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Twenty-five different orchid species were successfully asymbiotically germinated and raised on a modified FAST medium (Fast 1976; Szendrák and R Eszéki, 1993). The development of geminating protocorms and young plantlets were recorded and compared among species. Spontaneous vegetative proliferation was also observed. Natural dispersed daylight and prevailing day-length were more favorable than l6-hour cool white fluorescent light for plantlet development. After two to three years of culture, the young plants were suitable for transfer ex vitro.

The effects of organic compounds most commonly used for orchid micropropagation (peptone, coconut water, casein+lactalbumin and glucose) and medium consistencies were investigated for …

The Role Of (Alpha)S1-Casein In The Formation Of The Casein Micelle, Chinchi Chen

Theses

Caseins are the major protein components of milk. Bovine caseins have been the most thoroughly studied and serve as the principal area of research for the dairy industry. Bovine caseins are composed of several major polypeptide families, (alpha)s1-, (alpha)s1-, (beta)- and K-caseins. The (alpha)s1-caseins constitute 30.6% of bovine milk protein. The distribution of polar and apolar amino acids within each (alpha)s1 -casein molecule tends to be asymmetric, yielding protein molecules with hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains that give the caseins excellent functional properties. Moreover, the phosphoserine groups of (alpha)s1 -casein associate with calcium phosphate complexes in milk to form loosely ordered …

Health Professions Schools In Service To The Nation, Sherril B. Gelmon, Barbara A. Holland

Conference Proceedings

The Health Professions Schools in Service to the Nation (HPSISN) program challenges health professions educational institutions to integrate community service into curricula and to promote student understanding of the social responsibility and public purposes of their chosen profession. With support from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Corporation for National Service, the HPSISN program began in 1995 in 20 demonstration sites, which were funded to integrate service learning into professional programs of study for entry into the health professions.

Intergenerational Service Topic Bibliography, Robin Vue Benson, Robert D. Shumer, Madeleine S. Hengel, Craig Hollander

Bibliographies

America is changing. More of our citizens are moving into the "senior" portions of their lives. Within twenty years, a significant segment of our population will be retired or nearing retirement. With this retirement comes a tendency to live in retirement communities, separated from mainstream society. At the same time, our youth are experiencing greater isolation from adult life and from interaction with older individuals. Because of our mobile population, many children grow up today without regular contact with a grandparent or an older adult.

This scenario suggests that there is perhaps no greater need in our society than to …

Teaching The Presidential Elections: A Social Studies/Service Learning Teaching Unit For The Middle Grades, Lisa M. Greco

Curriculum

Teaching the Presidential Elections by Lisa M. Greco is the first in a series of exemplary curriculum units on social studies and service learning developed by public school teachers and compiled by the Eastern Regional Information Center, School of Education, University of Massachusetts Amherst.

The idea for a series of curriculum units came from the National Service Learning Cooperative and the K-12 Learn and Serve America Clearinghouse who are affiliated with the ERIC Clearinghouse on Social Studies and Social Science Education. Both organizations wanted to showcase models of integrating service learning into history and social studies classes in elementary and …

Trends. Can Accountability Be Accountable? General Fogleman Requests Retirement, Ibpp Editor

International Bulletin of Political Psychology

Ultimately military personnel deal with life and death Issues--even if for many of these personnel the likelihood of the ultimate is very remote. Requiring accountability for these personnel--the taking of responsibility for one's actions and their consequences--is a sound abstract principle. However, it too easily breaks down in concrete instances.

Lateral Guidance Control Of A Low-Speed Vehicle, Haydar Sahin

Theses

This thesis examines the lateral guidance control of a low-speed vehicle. Several topics are studied in detail: (1) vehicle error-state model for lateral guidance based on Ackerman steering and (2) lateral guidance control of a low-speed vehicle using fuzzy logic. Independently written research papers address each topic. The first paper presents a second order "error-state" kinematic model based on Ackerman steering appropriate for studying the lateral guidance control of low-speed vehicles traversing on roads of constant curvature. Lateral guidance control of vehicles is of great interest to the Advanced Vehicle Control Systems (AVCS) Division of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) …

Design, Development, And Performance Of A Transient Heat Transfer Resistance Fouling Monitor, David Gruszczynski

Theses

Fouling can be defined as the formation of deposits on heat transfer surfaces that impede heat transfer and increase the resistance to fluid flow. The presence of fouling deposits result in the loss of equipment efficiency, the loss of equipment utilization, the requirement of additional capital expenditures, and adds the cost of cleaning to a process. The cost of fouling to all industries using heat exchangers in the United States was estimated to be 2 x 10+1 dollars per year in 1995. Thus, the control or mitigation of fouling is critical to all industries which employ heat transfer equipment. In …
