Cell Cycle Regulation Of Redoxyendonuclease Activity In Human Neuroblastoma Cells., Deepika Walpita

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Redoxyendonuclease activity was detected in extracts of human neuroblastoma cells using a base-release assay specific for thymine glycol in DNA. The level of redoxyendonuclease activity was more than 2-fold higher in dividing cells compared to quiescent cells, suggesting that quiescent cells may have a reduced capacity to repair oxidative DNA base damages. Cells were synchronized by serum deprivation and then stimulated to enter the cell cycle by the addition of serum to determine enzyme activity at different stages of the cell cycle. The redoxyendonuclease activity was regulated in a biphasic manner with a peak in early G1 and a peak …

Methane Oxidation And Respiration Of Methylococcus Capsulatus (Bath)., Scott Andrew Cook

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The membrane bound enzyme methane monooxygenase (pMMO), is a mixed function oxygenase that initiates the oxidative metabolism of methane in methanotropic bacteria. Copper is required for catalytic activity of pMMO, illustrated by the recovery of pMMO activity in EDTA-inhibited membranes, whereas zinc and nickel had little effect or were inhibitory. Inhibition kinetics, cosubstrate dependence, and substrate protection experiments show that acetylene acts as a suicide substrate for pMMO, binding specifically to a 26-kDa peptide. The acetylene binding capability of pMMO increased as a function of copper concentration as does the specific activity, suggesting that copper activates pMMO by binding to …

Speeding, Spending, And Sponsors: Tourism And The Nascar Winston Cup Experience, Mark D. Howell

Visions in Leisure and Business

This article provides an overview of the NASCAR Winston Cup Series and an analysis of how stock car racing has become a focal point for tourism in the region around Charlotte, North Carolina. The article examines how businesses have capitalized on the loyalty and financial strength of Winston Cup race fans by making themselves spin-off attractions connected loosely to the sport of stock car racing.

Evidence to support claims made in this article comes from the author's fieldwork within the Charlotte-based Winston Cup community. This includes observations made by the author during the summer of 1997 while in North Carolina …

A Framework For The Analysis Of Sport Sponsorship And The Cola Wars, Duarte Morris, David L. Groves

Visions in Leisure and Business

The primary purpose of this article was to explore the concept of understanding sports contribution to sponsorship through understanding the structure and function of the sponsorship industry. The colas were selected as an example industry to develop the concept of understanding sponsorship using a molecular analysis. This type of molecular analysis will provide perspective and foster better relationships of how the sponsor can do business on the sport and its event. Sponsors are demanding accountability and this type of approach opens the dialogue for exploring symbiotic relationships among the sport and the sponsor.

Familiar Stories: Plain-Spoken Poetry From A Missouri Woman, W. Carolyn Smith

Theses

This project started as an exercise in a creative writing cluster class. Then I paid a visit to my mother and heard a couple of stories about two nephews that were poignant, yet amusing. I wrote them as I heard them, in conversational style, and the format of my story-poems was born.

The first three chapters cover my background, my training, the influences on my writing, and specifically, examples of three authors whose writing encouraged me to write. The training emphasized factual writing in business communications and journalism. Because of this training, most of the facts in the poems are …

Task 1c3 Humanitarian Demining Requirement Analysis Final Report, Cisr

Global CWD Repository

The Humanitarian Demining Information Center (HDIC) at James Madison University is developing a plan for identifying, analyzing, enhancing, and disseminating electronic and hard copy information relating to humanitarian demining. The first step toward realizing this objective was identifying the information needs, information availability and optimal methods for organizing and delivering information to the humanitarian demining community.

Broadly conceived, the humanitarian demining community consists of ten components.

• U.S. government agencies that have as part of their mission the development of programs for humanitarian demining in selected countries • volunteer organizations that are directly involved in the task of humanitarian demining …

A Typology For The Understanding Of Structure And Function Of A Sports Industry: A Case Study Of Nascar, Duarte Morris, David L. Groves

Visions in Leisure and Business

Examination of sport from a molecular level will help to increase understanding about the nature of a sport. NASCAR (National Association of Stock Car Racing) is a growing sport that has the potential to serve as a case study to understand the structure and function of sport from a molecular level. A framework was developed to analyze the relationships among the actors in NASCAR.

Of Politics, Morality, And Tobacco Regulation, Karen Mae Dimon

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

The production, consumption, and regulation of tobacco is presently the subject of much discussion and debate. While the issues surrounding tobacco have been debated for decades, much of the current attention on tobacco is due to the many proposals to regulate tobacco, the state and class action lawsuits pending against the tobacco industry, and the damaging tobacco company documents that have recently been made public. Most tobacco control proposals are intent on expanding the presence of government in the tobacco industry through increased regulation and taxation. A majority of the controversy over tobacco regulation focuses on the role of government …
