Alcohol Expectancies Among Adolescents In Inner Mongolia, Ian Newman, Ming Qu, Duane F. Shell, Yuching Li, Fangfang Gao Sep 2000

Alcohol Expectancies Among Adolescents In Inner Mongolia, Ian Newman, Ming Qu, Duane F. Shell, Yuching Li, Fangfang Gao

Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications

Female students were more likely to report global negative expectancies, while male students were more likely to report stronger positive social perception expectancies. The 11th and 12th graders expected more negative effects from drinking including global negative effects and negative personal effects than did the 10th graders. Nondrinkers and occasional drinkers reported greater expectancies of negative personal effects and negative perceptions of drinking than regular-drinkers. In contrast, regular drinkers more often reported expectancies of positive social perception, tension reduction and pleasure. social courtesy, social facilitation. and beneficial drinking. The results suggest that alcohol expectancies among Chinese adolescents in Inner Mongolia …

Crystal Structure Of A Nonsymbiotic Plant Hemoglobin, Mark S. Hargrove, Eric Allen Brucker, Boguslaw Stec, Gautam Sarath, Raúl Arredondo-Peter, Robert V. Klucas, John S. Olson, George N. Phillips Jr. Sep 2000

Crystal Structure Of A Nonsymbiotic Plant Hemoglobin, Mark S. Hargrove, Eric Allen Brucker, Boguslaw Stec, Gautam Sarath, Raúl Arredondo-Peter, Robert V. Klucas, John S. Olson, George N. Phillips Jr.

Gautam Sarath Publications

Background: Nonsymbiotic hemoglobins (nsHbs) form a new class of plant proteins that is distinct genetically and structurally from leghemoglobins. They are found ubiquitously in plants and are expressed in low concentrations in a variety of tissues including roots and leaves. Their function involves a biochemical response to growth under limited O2 conditions.
Results: The first X-ray crystal structure of a member of this class of proteins, riceHb1, has been determined to 2.4 Å resolution using a combination of phasing techniques. The active site of ferric riceHb1 differs significantly from those of traditional hemoglobins and myoglobins. The proximal and distal …

A Science-Based Initiative To Manage Double-Crested Cormorant Damage To Southern Aquaculture, James F. Glahn, Mark E. Tobin, Bradley F. Blackwell Sep 2000

A Science-Based Initiative To Manage Double-Crested Cormorant Damage To Southern Aquaculture, James F. Glahn, Mark E. Tobin, Bradley F. Blackwell

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Aquaculture has expanded rapidly in the Southern United States during the past two decades, especially the cultivation of catfish, crawfish, and bait fish. These fish usually are cultivated on farms with extensive systems of large shallow ponds that are highly susceptible to predation by birds. Double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus ), American white pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos ), wading birds (e.g., Ardea alba, Ardea herodius ), and scaup (Aythya spp. ) are among the birds most frequently implicated. Well-documented problems associated with cormorant predation on catfish farms have coincided with the increase of this industry and the rapid …

Cattle Lack Vascular Receptors For Escherichia Coli O157:H7 Shiga Toxins, Ingrid M. Pruimboom-Brees, Tim W. Morgan, Mark R. Ackermann, Evelyn A. Dean-Nystrom, James E. Samuel, Nancy A. Cornick, Harley W. Moon Sep 2000

Cattle Lack Vascular Receptors For Escherichia Coli O157:H7 Shiga Toxins, Ingrid M. Pruimboom-Brees, Tim W. Morgan, Mark R. Ackermann, Evelyn A. Dean-Nystrom, James E. Samuel, Nancy A. Cornick, Harley W. Moon

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

Escherichia coli O157:H7 causes Shiga toxin (Stx)-mediated vascular damage, resulting in hemorrhagic colitis and the hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans. These infections are often food-borne, and healthy carrier cattle are a major reservoir of E. coli O157:H7. We were interested in knowing why cattle are tolerant to infection with E. coli O157:H7. Cattle tissues were examined for the Stx receptor globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), for receptivity to Stx binding in vitro, and for susceptibility to the enterotoxic effects of Stx in vivo. TLC was used to detect Gb3 in tissues from a newborn calf. Gb3 was detected …

Chasing The Elderly: Can State And Local Governments Attract Recent Retirees?, William Duncombe, Mark Robbins, Douglas A. Wolf Sep 2000

Chasing The Elderly: Can State And Local Governments Attract Recent Retirees?, William Duncombe, Mark Robbins, Douglas A. Wolf

Center for Policy Research

Recruiting recent retirees to relocate from elsewhere has become an important economic development strategy in an increasing number of states. State governments have planned or enacted a variety of tax and fee incentives to lure retirees. The objective of this paper is to determine whether states can, in fact, influence the retirement destination of elder households using fiscal tools. To estimate the determinants of retiree location decisions we have developed an extensive data set on county attributes, and a methodology for estimating an individual-level discrete-choice model for a very large number of potential locations. Using 1990 county-to-county migration data, we …

An End To Insanity: Recasting The Role Of Mental Disability In Criminal Cases, Christopher Slobogin Sep 2000

An End To Insanity: Recasting The Role Of Mental Disability In Criminal Cases, Christopher Slobogin

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

This article argues that mental illness should no longer be the basis for a special defense of insanity. Instead, mental disorder should be considered in criminal cases only if relevant to other excuse doctrines, such as lack of mens rea, self-defense and duress, as those defenses have been defined under modern subjectively-oriented codes. With the advent of these subjectively defined doctrines (a development which, ironically, took place during the same period that insanity formulations expanded), the insanity defense has outlived its usefulness, normatively and practically. Modern official formulations of the defense are overbroad because, fairly construed, they exculpate the vast …

Staphylococcus Aureus Rn6390 Replicates And Induces Apoptosis In A Pulmonary Epithelial Cell Line, Barbara C. Kahl, Mark Goulian, Willem Van Wamel, Mathias Herrmann, Sanford M. Simon, Gilla Kaplan, Georg Peters, Ambrose L. Cheung Sep 2000

Staphylococcus Aureus Rn6390 Replicates And Induces Apoptosis In A Pulmonary Epithelial Cell Line, Barbara C. Kahl, Mark Goulian, Willem Van Wamel, Mathias Herrmann, Sanford M. Simon, Gilla Kaplan, Georg Peters, Ambrose L. Cheung

Dartmouth Scholarship

Staphylococcus aureus frequently colonizes the airways of patients with compromised airway defenses (e.g., cystic fibrosis [CF] patients) for extended periods. Persistent and relapsing infections may be related to live S. aureus bacteria actively residing inside epithelial cells. In this study, we infected a respiratory epithelial cell line, which was derived from a CF patient, with S. aureus RN6390. Internalization of S. aureus was found to be time and dose dependent and could be blocked by cytochalasin D. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that internalized bacteria resided within endocytic vacuoles without any evidence of lysosomal fusion in a 24-h period. The results …

Computing Optimal Pumping Strategies For Groundwater Contaminant Plume Remediation, Richard C. Peralta, Alaa H. Aly

Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

Simulation/Optimization (S/0) models can greatly simplify the process of designing remediation systems for contaminated groundwater. We describe some technical aspects of using S/0 models and possible S/0 model formulations for groundwater remediation design. We: discuss some S/0 model optimization algorithms; illustrate simple optimization problem solution; describe two real-world S/0 model applications; and demonstrate S/0 model application under uncertainty.
