Pyridoxamine, An Inhibitor Of Advanced Glycation Reactions, Also Inhibits Advanced Lipoxidation Reactions: Mechanism Of Action Of Pyridoxamine, Joelle M. Onorato, Alicia J. Jenkins, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes Jul 2000

Pyridoxamine, An Inhibitor Of Advanced Glycation Reactions, Also Inhibits Advanced Lipoxidation Reactions: Mechanism Of Action Of Pyridoxamine, Joelle M. Onorato, Alicia J. Jenkins, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes

Faculty Publications

Maillard or browning reactions lead to formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on protein and contribute to the increase in chemical modification of proteins during aging and in diabetes. AGE inhibitors such as aminoguanidine and pyridoxamine (PM) have proven effective in animal model and clinical studies as inhibitors of AGE formation and development of diabetic complications. We report here that PM also inhibits the chemical modification of proteins during lipid peroxidation (lipoxidation) reactions in vitro, and we show that it traps reactive intermediates formed during lipid peroxidation. In reactions of arachidonate with the model protein RNase, PM prevented modification …

Examples, Counterexamples, And Enumeration Results For Foldings And Unfoldings Between Polygons And Polytopes, Erik D. Demaine, Martin L. Demaine, Anna Lubiw, Joseph O'Rourke Jul 2000

Examples, Counterexamples, And Enumeration Results For Foldings And Unfoldings Between Polygons And Polytopes, Erik D. Demaine, Martin L. Demaine, Anna Lubiw, Joseph O'Rourke

Computer Science: Faculty Publications

We investigate how to make the surface of a convex polyhedron (a polytope) by folding up a polygon and gluing its perimeter shut, and the reverse process of cutting open a polytope and unfolding it to a polygon. We explore basic enumeration questions in both directions: Given a polygon, how many foldings are there? Given a polytope, how many unfoldings are there to simple polygons? Throughout we give special attention to convex polygons, and to regular polygons. We show that every convex polygon folds to an infinite number of distinct polytopes, but that their number of combinatorially distinct gluings is …


Freezing Field Dependance Of The Exchange Bias In Uniaxial Fef2-Copt Heterosystems With Perpendicular Anisotropy, Christian Binek Jul 2000

Freezing Field Dependance Of The Exchange Bias In Uniaxial Fef2-Copt Heterosystems With Perpendicular Anisotropy, Christian Binek

Christian Binek Publications

The exchange bias effect is measured for the first time in FeF2–CoPt heterosystems with perpendicular anisotropy. The exchange previous field exhibits a strong dependence on the axial previous freezing field. This behavior is explained in terms of the microscopic spin structure at the interface, which is established on cooling to below TN. We calculate the dependence of the spin structure on the previous freezing field within the framework of an Ising model. It takes into account the Zeeman energy as well as an antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between the adjacent layers at the interface.

Student Assessment As A Political Construction: The Case Of Uruguay, Luis Benveniste Jul 2000

Student Assessment As A Political Construction: The Case Of Uruguay, Luis Benveniste

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

This article reveals the interplay between assessment policies in Uruguay and the nature of State-societal relations. The central State has been historically a staunch defender of public education and has championed the cause of equalizing opportunities for the most disadvantaged sectors of society. The national evaluation system of student performance has been constructed as an expression of this tradition. ...

The Warps Survey - Iv. The X-Ray Luminosity-Temperature Relation Of High-Redshift Galaxy Clusters, B. W. Fairley, L. R. Jones, C. Scharf, H. Ebeling, E. Perlman, D. Horner, G. Wegner, M. Malkan Jul 2000

The Warps Survey - Iv. The X-Ray Luminosity-Temperature Relation Of High-Redshift Galaxy Clusters, B. W. Fairley, L. R. Jones, C. Scharf, H. Ebeling, E. Perlman, D. Horner, G. Wegner, M. Malkan

Dartmouth Scholarship

We present a measurement of the cluster X-ray luminosity-temperature (L-T) relation out to high redshift (z∼0.8). Combined ROSAT PSPC spectra of 91 galaxy clusters detected in the Wide Angle ROSAT Pointed Survey (WARPS) are simultaneously fitted in redshift and luminosity bins. The resulting temperature and luminosity measurements of these bins, which occupy a region of the high-redshift L-T relation not previously sampled, are compared with existing measurements at low redshift in order to constrain the evolution of the L-T relation. We find the best fit to low-redshift (z<0.2) cluster data, at T …

Orbital Period Of The Low‐Inclination Sw Sextantis Star V442 Ophiuchi, D. W. Hoard, John R. Thorstensen, Paula Szkody Jul 2000

Orbital Period Of The Low‐Inclination Sw Sextantis Star V442 Ophiuchi, D. W. Hoard, John R. Thorstensen, Paula Szkody

Dartmouth Scholarship

V442 Ophiuchi is a low-inclination (noneclipsing) nova-like cataclysmic variable. We have obtained medium resolution (1-3.5 Å), time-resolved optical spectroscopy of this interacting binary star spanning an interval of 4 yr, from 1995 August to 1999 June. Using an Hα radial velocity curve constructed from our combined spectroscopic data sets, we have determined that Porb = 0.1243 days for V442 Oph, breaking the long-standing 1 day alias ambiguity in its orbital period. V442 Oph shares many of the characteristics of the group of cataclysmic variables known as the SW Sextantis stars. Its Doppler tomograms and orbital phase-dependent emission-line behavior, including …


Redshift-Distance Survey Of Early-Type Galaxies: Dipole Of The Velocity Field, L. N. Da Costa, M. Bernardi, M. V. Alonso, G. Wegner Jul 2000

Redshift-Distance Survey Of Early-Type Galaxies: Dipole Of The Velocity Field, L. N. Da Costa, M. Bernardi, M. V. Alonso, G. Wegner

Dartmouth Scholarship

We use the recently completed redshift-distance survey of nearby early-type galaxies (ENEAR) to measure the dipole component of the peculiar velocity field to a depth of cz ~ 6000 km s-1. The sample consists of 1145 galaxies brighter than mB = 14.5 and with cz ≤ 7000 km s-1, uniformly distributed over the whole sky, and 129 fainter cluster galaxies within the same volume. Most of the Dn-σ distances were obtained from new spectroscopic and photometric observations conducted by this project, ensuring the homogeneity of the data over the whole sky. These 1274 galaxies are objectively assigned …


Plasma Oscillations And Expansion Of An Ultracold Neutral Plasma, Scott D. Bergeson, S. Kulin, T. C. Killian, S. L. Rolston Jul 2000

Plasma Oscillations And Expansion Of An Ultracold Neutral Plasma, Scott D. Bergeson, S. Kulin, T. C. Killian, S. L. Rolston

Faculty Publications

We report the observation of plasma oscillations in an ultracold neutral plasma. With this collective mode we probe the electron density distribution and study the expansion of the plasma as a function of time. For classical plasma conditions, i.e., weak Coulomb coupling, the expansion is dominated by the pressure of the electron gas and is described by a hydrodynamic model. Discrepancies between the model and observations at low temperature and high density may be due to strong coupling of the electrons.

Kinetic Energy Release In Electron-Induced Decay Reactions Of Molecular Ions: C3h8+ And C3h7+, S. Matt, Olof E. Echt, A. Stamatovic, T. D. Mark Jul 2000

Kinetic Energy Release In Electron-Induced Decay Reactions Of Molecular Ions: C3h8+ And C3h7+, S. Matt, Olof E. Echt, A. Stamatovic, T. D. Mark

Physics & Astronomy

We have measured the kinetic energy release (KER) distributions for electron-induced dissociation of mass-selected molecular parent and fragment ions of propane. They are compared with distributions determined for spontaneous (metastable) dissociation. The average KER for induced dissociation of C3H8+ into C3H7+ is 13.2 +/- 1.2 meV, about 42% larger than for the spontaneous reaction. This large difference is attributed to the dramatically reduced time at which the induced reaction can be sampled. In contrast, the KER for dissociation of C3H7+ into C3H5+, which is characterized by a large reverse activation energy, is hardly affected by the experimental time scale. (C) …


Static Quark Potential In Three Flavor Qcd, James E. Hetrick, C. Bernard Jul 2000

Static Quark Potential In Three Flavor Qcd, James E. Hetrick, C. Bernard

All Faculty Articles - School of Engineering and Computer Science

We study the effects of dynamical quarks on the static quark potential at distances shorter than those where string breaking is expected. Quenched calculations and calculations with three flavors of dynamical quarks are done on sets of lattices with the lattice spacings matched within about one percent. The effect of the sea quarks on the shape of the potential is clearly visible. We investigate the consequences of these effects in a very crude model, namely solving Schrödinger’s equation in the resulting potential.


Interaction Of Mitochondrial Elongation Factor Tu With Aminoacyl-Trna And Elongation Factor Ts, Ying Chun Cai, James M. Bullard, Nancy L. Thompson, Linda L. Spremulli Jul 2000

Interaction Of Mitochondrial Elongation Factor Tu With Aminoacyl-Trna And Elongation Factor Ts, Ying Chun Cai, James M. Bullard, Nancy L. Thompson, Linda L. Spremulli

School of Integrative Biological & Chemical Sciences (Formerly Dept. of Chemistry)

Elongation factor (EF) Tu promotes the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) to the acceptor site of the ribosome. This process requires the formation of a ternary complex (EF-Tu·GTP·aa-tRNA). EF-Tu is released from the ribosome as an EF-Tu·GDP complex. Exchange of GDP for GTP is carried out through the formation of a complex with EF-Ts (EF-Tu·Ts). Mammalian mitochondrial EF-Tu (EF-Tumt) differs from the corresponding prokaryotic factors in having a much lower affinity for guanine nucleotides. To further understand the EF-Tumt subcycle, the dissociation constants for the release of aa-tRNA from the ternary complex (K tRNA) and for …
