Identification Of Tyr413 As An Active Site Residue In The Flavoprotein Tryptophan 2-Monooxygenase And Analysis Of Its Contribution To Catalysis, Pablo Sobrado, Paul F. Fitzpatrick

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The flavoenzyme tryptophan 2-monooxygenase catalyzes the oxidation of tryptophan to indole acetamide, carbon dioxide, and water. The enzyme is a homologue of L-amino acid oxidase. In the structure of L-amino acid oxidase complexed with aminobenzoate, Tyr372 hydrogen bonds with the carboxylate of the inhibitor in the active site. All 10 conserved tyrosine residues in tryptophan 2-monooxygenase were mutated to phenylalanine; steady state kinetic characterization of the purified proteins identified Tyr413 as the residue homologous to Tyr372 of L-amino acid oxidase. Y413F and Y413A tryptophan 2-monooxygenase were characterized more completely with tryptophan as the substrate to probe the contribution of this …

Managerial Decision Making And Stockholder Wealth Maximization: A Limited Dependent Variables Model Of The Choice Between Dividends And Stock Repurchases, Noel Reynolds

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This research attempts to provide an explanation for the firm's choice of using either a dividend or a stock repurchase for distributing cash to its stockholders. It also provides an examination of the impact of the firm's disbursement decision on the stock market's resulting reassessment of the value of the firm.

Before analyzing the disbursement decision, I examine the stock market effects of dividends and stock repurchases using an event study methodology that corrects for the possible variance change effects of cash distribution announcements. I find that the measured wealth effects are statistically significant and similar, for the most part, …

2001-2006

First established in 1902, the publication ran for just over a century, until its closure in 2006.---NFSD was an insurance business established in 1901. Its purposes were to provide insurance to mainly Deaf members, to serve as an advocate for the Deaf, and to provide community service and recreational opportunities through divisional activities. The existing insurance coverage was transferred to the Catholic Order of Foresters in 2005. The NFSD disbanded in 2007.---The Frat's main purpose was to keep members apprised of the activities of …

Defending Conventions As Functionally A Priori Knowledge, David J. Stump

Philosophy

Recent defenses of a priori knowledge can be applied to the idea of conventions in science in order to indicate one important sense in which conventionalism is correct—some elements of physical theory have a unique epistemological status as a functionally a priori part of our physical theory. I will argue that the former a priori should be treated as empirical in a very abstract sense, but still conventional. Though actually coming closer to the Quinean position than recent defenses of a priori knowledge, the picture of science developed here is very different from that developed in Quinean holism in that …

A Survey Of Teachers' Perceptions Of Homogeneous, Heterogeneous, And Multiage Grouping And The Achievement Results Of Their Students, Tracy G. Achord

Electronic Dissertations and Theses

Many schools in the state of Louisiana are being rated as either effective or at-risk. The public looks down on those schools that are at-risk and hold a corrective action status. If the schools in corrective action do not improve over a three-year period, they will be closed forever. Now faced with possibility of losing their jobs, teachers need to discover the most effective techniques and strategies of teaching students more than ever before. These have been studies, which indicate that grouping students for instruction id productive and effective. But which grouping method is best? There are many different grouping …

Accountability In Medicaid Managed Care: Implications For Pediatric Health Care Quality, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Anne R. Markus, Colleen Sonosky, Lee Repasch, D. Richard Mauery, Andy Schneider

Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications

This study examines the structure and operation of Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) health care access and quality monitoring systems for children enrolled in comprehensive managed care arrangements. As the single largest purchasers of pediatric health care in the U.S., Medicaid and SCHIP agencies play a potentially powerful role in pediatric health policy. How these agencies approach, design, and carry out health quality monitoring activities has the potential to have a major impact not only for poor and low-income children, but for the entire pediatric health system. Even when these systems are developed exclusively for publicly insured …

Cross Hedging Jet Fuel On The Singapore Spot Market, Ephraim Clark, Mark Tan, Radu Tunaru

International Journal of Banking and Finance

In this paper we test for the most effective cross hedging instrument for the Singapore spot market in jet fuel over the period February 4, 1997 to August 21, 2001. Our results are mixed. We find that the heating oil contract is the best in-sample cross-hedging instrument. It has the highest correlation with the spot price and gives the best regression results. However, after correcting for serial correlation, the goodness of fit measured by R2 is rather low. Out of sample results are weak for all models and ambiguous with respect to the heating oil contract.

The Effects Of The Viscidity Of The Client-Agency Relationship And The Agency's Expert Power On The Level Of Personalization In Advertising Campaigns, Svetlana Kirpichenko

Theses

This study examines the effect of the viscidity of the corporate client-advertising agency relationship and of the expert power exercised by the agency on the level of personalization in the resultant print campaign. A phone survey of 250 advertising agencies nationwide provides statistical support to the findings. The results indicate that for those advertising agencies that perform a significant volume of work on a retainer basis, the expert power exercised by the agencies and the level of the viscidity of the relationship between the clients and the agencies are in close correlation to the level of personalization employed by the …
