Selenoproteins And Selenocysteine Insertion System In The Model Plant Cell System, Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii, Sergey V. Novoselov, Mahadev Rao, Natalia V. Onoshko, Huijun Zhi, Gregory V. Kryukov, Youbin Xiang, Donald P. Weeks, Dolph A. Hatfield, Vadim Gladyshev

Vadim Gladyshev Publications

Known eukaryotic selenocysteine (Sec)-containing proteins are animal proteins, whereas selenoproteins have not been found in yeast and plants. Surprisingly, we detected selenoproteins in a member of the plant kingdom, Chlumydomonas reinhardtii, and directly identified two of them as phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase and selenoprotein W homologs. Moreover, a selenocysteyl-tRNA was isolated that recognized specifically the Sec codon UGA. Subsequent gene cloning and bioinformatics analyses identified eight additional selenoproteins, including methionine-Ssulfoxide reductase, a selenoprotein specific to Chlumydomonas. Chlumydomonas selenoprotein genes contained selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) elements that were similar, but not identical, to those of animals. These SECIS elements could direct …

An Ecological Basis For Managing Giant Sequoia Ecosystems, Douglas D. Piirto, Robert R. Rogers

Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences

A strategy for management of giant sequoia groves is formulated using a conceptual framework for ecosystem management recently developed by Region Five of the USDA Forest Service. The framework includes physical, biological, and social dimensions. Environmental indicators and reference variability for key ecosystem elements are discussed in this paper. The selected ecosystem elements include: 1) attitudes, beliefs, and values; 2) economics and subsistence; 3) stream channel morphology; 4) sediment; 5) water; 6) fire; 7) organic debris; and 8) vegetation mosaic. Recommendations are made for the attributes of environmental indicators that characterize these elements. These elements and associated indicators will define …

Parenting And Adult Development, Rob Palkovitz, Loren D. Marks, David W. Appleby, Erin Kramer Holmes

Faculty Publications and Presentations

It is likely that the more engaged a parent is, the more his or her adult development will be affected. Because there is a direct relationship between the degree of investment a person places in any developmental context and the outcome that the context exerts, it has been hypothesized that the developmental impact of parenting is directly related to its cumulative salience in relation to other contexts of development (Palkovitz, 1996). This chapter represents an attempt to summarize pertinent empirical findings, to further refine conceptual constructs, to elaborate upon their interactions and to facilitate understanding of the effects of parenting …

Madonnas And Whores: The Dichotomy Of Women's Roles As Portrayed In Women's Magazine Advertisements, Karen Celeste Kimbell

Theses & Dissertations

Advertising has played a vital role in the increase of the number and circulation of magazines. Women's magazines, in particular, are saturated with ads to the point where often the copy text and the advertisements are indistinguishable. Early in the history of women's magazines, advertisements focused on women's domestic role as mother and wife, offering products to improve the home and help with caring for the family. Soon, products for beauty enhancement began showing up in advertisements as well, and beauty products continue to be heavily marketed in women's magazines. With the women's sexual revolution, the notion of beauty changed …

Early Weaning Beef Calves, Kent Tjardes, Cody Wright, Don Boggs

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Weaning calves earlier than the normal 6-7 months of age is a management practice that should be considered when pastures are short or quality is poor. Calves have been weaned successfully at less than 2 months of age. However, normal rumen function is not developed until approximately 120 days of age. Research has demonstrated that calves older than 90 days have satisfactory gains without being put on milk replacers. Calves can be placed in a drylot on a medium energy diet (NEg ≥0.45 Mcal/lb), on a higher quality pasture, or a pasture with supplemental creep feed.

The Illusion Of Realism In Film, Andrew Kania

Philosophy Faculty Research

Gregory Currie, arguing against recent psychoanalytic and semiotic film theory, has defended various realist theses about film. The strongest of these is that ‘weak illusionism’—the view that the motion of film images is an illusion—is false. That is, Currie believes film images really do move. In this paper I defend the common-sense position of weak illusionism, firstly by showing that Currie underestimates the power of some arguments for it, especially one based on the mechanics of projection, and secondly by showing that film images exhibit neither garden-variety motion, nor a special response-dependent kind.

Ecological And Economic Modelling In Agricultural Land Use Scenarios, Bernd Münier, J. S. Schou, K. Birr-Pedersen

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Agricultural production and its associated land use comprise the most important key factor regarding biodiversity and environmental impact within the wider countryside in Denmark. Currently, a number of land use changes are implemented in environmental action plans, such as afforestation, restoring wetlands and protection of drinking water catchments. Growing attention is put on the potential of GIS (Geographical Information System) as spatial decision support tools in local and regional environmental impact assessment, planning and implementation of governmental policies at local level. The work presented is part of a multidisciplinary research project, addressing the consequences of changes in agricultural production with …

Using Soft-Systems Methods To Evaluate The Outputs From Multi-Objective Land Use Planning Tools, K. B. Matthews, K. Buchan, A. R. Sibbald, Susan Craw

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Land managers are increasingly faced with complex decisions requiring the consideration of tradeoffs between multiple, non-commensurable objectives. Such decisions have profound effects on the financial, social and environmental sustainability of land use systems. One approach to assisting land managers with these decisions has been the development of computer-based decision support systems (DSS). While such systems are demonstrably able to make analyses of multi-objective land-use planning problems, are the answers they produce relevant and useful to practitioners? This paper reports on a workshop-based, soft-systems analysis of outputs from a spatial, multi-objective land-use planning tool. The paper outlines the approach taken in …

Use Of Wetlands For Sustainable Tourism Management, Christine Lim, Michael Mcaleer

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The Boondall Wetlands Reserve, which is located fifteen kilometres north-east of Brisbane, Queensland,are one of Australia's largest remaining habitats for conservation and environmental education. They areinternationally recognized as an important feeding and resting habitat for migratory wading birds from Alaska,China, Japan, Mongolia and Siberia. In 1996, the Boondall Wetlands Visitor Centre was opened in order to: (i)promote environmental awareness within the local and regional communities; (ii) provide community education andinformation about wetlands systems within the local, regional and global context; (iii) offer nature-based recreation,tourism and eco-tourism services; and (iv) demonstrate how wetlands can be used to diversify the tourism industry.This …

Biosecurity: Moving Toward A Comprehensive Approach, Laura A. Meyerson, Jamie K. Reaser

Natural Resources Science Faculty Publications

Biosecurity itself is more than a buzzword; it is the vital work of strategy, efforts, and planning to protect human, animal, and environmental health against biological threats. The primary goal of biosecurity is to protect against the risk posed by disease and organisms; the primary tools of biosecurity are exclusion, eradication, and control, supported by expert system management, practical protocols, and the rapid and efficient securing and sharing of vital information. Biosecurity is therefore the sum of risk management practices in defense against biological threats. (NASDA 2001, p. 1
