On The Future Of Total Theory: Science, Antiscience, And Human Candor, Joseph Vining

Books

Since we will be talking about science and antiscience, let me begin by recalling the work of Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles Darwin.

Erasmus was a naturalist like his grandson. He was distinguished in his time and is well known still in his own right. But he wrote scientific works in verse, even what might be called poems. One of them was The Botanic Garden, and the best known and most effective part of it was entitled The Loves of the Plants. It was full of imagery from the classics and from biology, full of metaphor and play. Our noticing …

Battery-Operated Atomic Force Microscope, Burford J. Furman, J. Christman, M. Kearny, F. Wojcik, M. Tortonese

Faculty Publications, Mechanical Engineering

The design of a battery-operated atomic force microscope (AFM) using a piezoresistive cantilever is described. The AFM is designed so that all power to drive the scanning tube and detection electronics comes from a self-contained battery. The prototype AFM uses a 6 V, Ni–Cd, camcorder battery, however, any battery that supplies between 6 and 12 V may be used. Scanner control and data acquisition are implemented using commercially available software running on an external computer. The prototype AFM achieves a scan area of 53 by 53 μm, consumes 1.8 W of power, and can scan continuously for about 7 h …

Tobacco Company Liability Under Mail Fraud, Juan Carlos Lopez-Campillo

St. Thomas Law Review

In the United States, tobacco products are heavily advertised. Advertising budgets of tobacco companies have increased more than 1,500% between 1970 and 1992. In 1993, $6.2 billion were spent by tobacco companies on advertising and promoting their products. This Comment examines whether the mail fraud statute applies where tobacco consumers read advertising printed in newspapers or magazines mailed to subscribers, in furtherance of the companies' fraudulent scheme. If so, the second element of mail fraud is satisfied, and tobacco company executives may then be held criminally liable for their fraudulent deception of the American public.

Directed Search In K-System Reconstruction., Christopher W. Branton

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

K-systems analysis is a factor analysis technique created through the generalization of key reconstructability analysis definitions and algorithms. The method is applied to functions on systems of discrete variables to discover a set of factors which can explain the bulk of the function's variation from the mean. K-systems analysis uses principles of information theory to reveal interactions which are often masked by the assumptions implicit in traditional methods. The method has been used successfully to analyze systems in several disciplines. Despite the success of k-systems analysis, obstacles to the creation of a mature methodology still exist. Some issues and open …

Serological And Molecular Biological Studies Of Marine Predator-Prey Systems., Marilyn J. Hoyt

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Two aspects of species identification were addressed; a molecular approach to identify anchovy larval and serological methods for prey detection in predator gut washes. Analysis of the pattern of restriction fragments of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from adult anchovies from the Gulf of Mexico was employed to speciate four anchovy species. MtDNA isolated from white muscle of adult Anchoa mitchilli, A. hepsetus, A. nasuta and Engraulis eurystole produced an amplified 2.4 Kb DNA product when primers for NADH dehydrogenase 5 and 6 genes were used in polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Digestion of the amplified sequence with Dpn II produced a unique …

Alcohol, Assault And Area: An Examination Of Alcohol Availability And Crime In East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana., Stephen Edgar Costanza

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

An association between alcohol and crime has been proposed for over forty years in Criminological Literature. The research conducted in this dissertation uses pooled data on alcohol, neighborhood characteristics, and crime in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. The intention of the paper is to further augment our understanding of the alcohol-crime relationship by studying it at the macro-level. Using 278 Baton Rouge block groups as units of analysis, the results of the study confirm that the presence of package-only alcohol outlets have significant effects on assault and robbery within neighborhoods.

Use Of Baculovirus As Expression Vector In Biotechnology, Zihni Demi̇rbağ, A. Osman Beldüz, İsmail Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Biology

Variuos viral, bacterial, plant and animal proteins which are important for medicinal, industrial and agricultural aspects, have been synhesized via expression vector systems have great importance in biotechnology. Baculoviruses, used as a good model system in molecular biology studies, a biological control agent in agriculture and an expression vector for synthesis of important proteins, opened up a significant period for recombinant DNA technology and protein production. Desired foreign genes, code for various products such as drug, toxin and nutrient substances, can be replaced with viral genes which are not essasial for replication of baculovirus in cell culture. Priority and advantages …

Cloning And Expression Of Heterologous Proteins In Bacteria And Yeast, Urvi J. Desai

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Heterologous proteins are proteins produced by foreign hosts. The ability to overexpress commercially important proteins in various biological systems has revolutionized the field of biotechnology. In this project three proteins, namely Taq DNA polymerase, E. coli β-galactosidase, and S. cerevisiae topoisomerase I, were cloned and overexpressed in heterologous host. Conventional methods to obtain DNA polymerase from T. aquaticus were cumbersome. Cloning of the gene had been reported but the purification scheme required several steps. To simplify the purification procedure and improve the yield, the DNA polymerase gene from T. aquaticus was cloned into E. coli expression vector pUC18. A single …

Biomineralization Of Magnetic Iron Minerals In Bacteria, Richard B. Frankel, Dennis A. Bazylinski, Dirk Schϋler

Physics

Magnetotactic bacteria orient and migrate along magnetic field lines. This ability is based on a submicron assembly of single-magnetic domain iron mineral particles that elegantly solves the problem of how to construct a magnetic dipole that is large enough to be oriented in the geomagnetic field at ambient temperature, yet fit inside a micron-sized cell. The solution is based on the ability of the bacteria to accumulate high concentrations of iron, and control the deposition, size and orientation of a specific iron mineral at specific locations in the cell.

Leadership: A Cultural Manifestation Of Evolution, Lee A. Scott

Honors Theses

This essay has sought to expand the perspective of leadership studies by incorporating the general theory of evolution from the discipline of biology. Evolution has been compared to leadership by other researchers but they have limited themselves to a metaphorical comparison. The primary purpose of this paper was to show that such a distinction was inaccurate when we have a full understanding of general evolutionary theory. Once this connection was established in Part II, we turned to examine some of the implications for leadership studies in particular. While a new theory was not presented, a foundation for such a theory …

Kinetic Studies Of The Thermal Decomposition Of Di- And Tri-Organotin Derivatives Of 1-Nitroso-2-Naphthol, Saqib Ali, Moazzam H. Bhatti, Sohail Mahmood, Muhammad Mazhar, M. Saleem Khalid, Nazar Hussain

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The di- and tri-organotin complexes of general formula R$_2$SnL$_2$ and R$_3$SnL where R = C$_4$H$_9$, C$_6$H$_5$, C$_6$H$_5$CH$_2$, C$_6$H$_{11}$ and L=1-nitroso-2-naphthol, were subjected to thermal decomposition by means of thermogravimetry (TG). The decomposition occurred in steps and the kinetics of every set of reactions were determined using the method described by Coats and Redfern. These results were analysed to establish the decomposition kinetics and hence to calculate activation energies. The activation energies were also determined by applying the method described by Horowitz, which yielded comparable results.

Selective And Organotypic Culture Of Intrahepatic Bile Duct Cells From Adult Pig Liver, Neil C. Talbot, Thomas J. Caperna

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Secondary culture of nontransformed bile duct epithelium has been difficult to achieve. STO feeder cell-dependent secondary cultures of adult pig bile duct cells were established from primary cultures of adult pig liver cells. Adult pig hepatocytes exhibited limited or no replication and were lost from the secondary culture at Passage 3 or 4. In contrast, adult pig bile duct cells replicated and were carried for 4-8 passages in secondary culture. A simple method to produce nearly pure pig intrahepatic bile duct cultures was first to freeze a relatively crude liver cell preparation. Upon subsequent thawing, all hepatocytes and most macrophages …

Mummies And Mummification Practices In The Southern And Southwestern United States, Mahmoud Y. El-Najjar, Thomas M. J. Mulinski, Karl Reinhard

Karl Reinhard Publications

Mummification was not intentional for most North American prehistoric cultures. Natural mummification occurred in the dry areas of North America, where mummies have been recovered from rock shelters, caves, and overhangs. In these places, corpses desiccated and spontaneously mummified. In North America, mummies are recovered from four main regions: the southern and southwestern United States, the Aleutian Islands, and the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. This chapter is limited to a discussion of burial practices and a tabulation of the location of mummies in the southwestern United States with some comments on mummies of the southern United States, including the Ozarks.
