Septic System Additives - Not Needed, Russell Derickson

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

If your on-site wastewater treatment system develops problems or fails, don't be so anxious to find a solution that you'll try any product that comes along. Many people with septic systems are confused by magazine and TV advertisements, as well as telephone solicitations, for onsite system additives. On-site system additives are not needed and are not recommended by the South Dakota Cooperative Extension Service.

Solving On-Site Wastewater Treatment System Backups, Russell Derickson

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Daily household routines can be greatly impacted by on-site wastewater system backups. Heavy rainfall, spring snow melt, or extended rainy periods that result in high water tables can cause backups. Other factors such as lack of system maintenance, changed family size, careless flushing, new water-using devices, inadequate design and sizing, and age of the system all can add to the problem.

Septic System Failures, Russ Derickson

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

An existing septic system (on-site sewage treatment system) may function well or it may "fail" due to a number of causes. Evaluating septic system failures is a skill that anyone involved with septic systems should have, including installers, building inspectors, system designers, septic tank pumpers, and the homeowner. Perhaps the single greatest cause of septic system failure is extra water entering the system. The extra water may come from leaky plumbing fixtures, but it commonly comes from poor surface drainage around the septic tank or pumping station. The soil absorption area may have been installed in a seasonally saturated soil …

Comparative Genomic Hybridization Array Analysis, Annette M. Molinaro, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Dan H. Moore

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

At the present time, there is increasing evidence that cancer may be regulated by the number of copies of genes in tumor cells. Through microarray technology it is now possible to measure the number of copies of thousands of genes and gene segments in samples of chromosomal DNA. Microarray comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) provides the opportunity to both measure DNA sequence copy number gains and losses and map these aberrations to the genomic sequence. Gains can signify the over-expression of oncogenes, genes which stimulate cell growth and have become hyperactive, while losses can signify under-expression of tumor suppressor genes, …

Murine Epidermal Cell Antigen (Skn)-Directed Autoimmunity Induced By Transfer Of Cd4+ T Cells, Susan H. Jackman, Shivaleela Keerthy, Giselle Perry

Biochemistry and Microbiology

While pathogenic T cells have been identified for several diseases with epithelial cell damage, an autoimmune T cell-mediated response targeted against a known keratinocyte antigen has not been reported. Previously we described an autoimmune response directed to the mouse epidermal cell antigens, Skn. For our murine model, primed Skn-immune lymphocytes are adoptively transferred to recipients, which develop lesions at the site of mild skin trauma. In this study we investigated the nature of the autoimmune component of the Skn response. A time-course study demonstrated a relationship between the number of primed Sknimmune cells injected and the severity of skin lesions …

Terrorism And The Bill Of Rights, Rodney A. Smolla

Scholarly Articles

In this article, Professor Smolla examines the right to free speech in the context of Black v. Commonwealth, a case which dealt with a Virginia law that banned cross-burning. While the legal doctrines argued in the Black case were certainly important then, they took on a whole new importance in light of the attacks on September 11, 2001. Professor Smolla discusses whether the terrorist attacks should affect the freedoms of speech and expression in America, concluding that, while horrific and life-changing, the attack on America should not alter our First Amendment rights.

Update On Therapeutic Myocardial Angiogenesis, Hung-Fat Tse, Chu-Pak Lau

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

Recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of neovascularization and the identification of potent angiogenic growth factors have led to the development of therapeutic angiogenesis for treatment of severe ischemic heart disease. Current clinical studies on therapeutic myocardial angiogenesis generally involved the delivery of recombinant protein or gene of the angiogenic growth factors using various different approaches. Although the initial clinical results are encouraging, the potential side effects of these potent angiogenic growth factors remain a major concern. Large-scale, randomized and placebo control studies will be required to demonstrate the clinical benefit of this novel therapeutic treatment of ischemic …

Women's and Gender Studies Program: Information and Materials

Women's Studies has been on the road this semester. As the cliche says, on each trip the journey was as important as the destination. In January several faculty members loaded into a huge van to participate in the first joint UNO, UNK, UNL Women's Studies Institute, where Barbara DiBernard led a very successful workshop on feminist pedagogy. Traveling away from our own classrooms and offices helped us as faculty to get acquainted with colleagues at other institutions and discuss the goals and challenges we all share. In March, Helen Moore and I with several students, braved an icy spring storm …

A Method To Identify Significant Clusters In Gene Expression Data, Katherine S. Pollard, Mark J. Van Der Laan

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Clustering algorithms have been widely applied to gene expression data. For both hierarchical and partitioning clustering algorithms, selecting the number of significant clusters is an important problem and many methods have been proposed. Existing methods for selecting the number of clusters tend to find only the global patterns in the data (e.g.: the over and under expressed genes). We have noted the need for a better method in the gene expression context, where small, biologically meaningful clusters can be difficult to identify. In this paper, we define a new criteria, Mean Split Silhouette (MSS), which is a measure of cluster …

Serotyping Group B Streptococci In A Small Community Hospital: An Analysis Of Distribution And Site Of Isolation, Jennifer M. Smith, Jason A. Rexroth, David G. Chaffin, Susan H. Jackman

Biochemistry and Microbiology

Objective: To determine the prevalence and site of isolation of different serotypes of group B streptococcus (GBS) colonization or infection at a small community hospital.

Methods: GBS isolates were obtained from a small community hospital and were then serotyped as la, Ib, II, III, IV, V or non-typeable. Hospital records were reviewed for patient sex, age and pregnancy status as well as the site of GBS isolation.

Results: GBS serotypes Ia, III and V were most common and accounted for over 60% of the total number of isolates. Serotype Ia was most prevalent in reproductive-age females, while serotypes V and …
