Distributed Adaptation Methods For Wireless Sensor Networks, R. R. Brooks, M. Pirretti, Mengxia Zhu, S. S. Iyengar Jan 2003

Distributed Adaptation Methods For Wireless Sensor Networks, R. R. Brooks, M. Pirretti, Mengxia Zhu, S. S. Iyengar

Computer Science Publications

This paper presents distributed adaptation techniques for use in wireless sensor networks. As an example application, we consider data routing by a sensor network in an urban terrain. The adaptation methods are based on ideas from physics, biology, and chemistry. All approaches are emergent behaviors in that: (i) perform global adaptation using only locally available information, (ii) have strong stochastic components, and (iii) use both positive and negative feedback to steer themselves. We analyze the approaches’ ability to adapt, robustness to internal errors, and power consumption. Comparisons to standard wireless communications techniques are given.

Hepatotprotective Natural Products, Samir Malhotra, Amrit Pal Singh Jan 2003

Hepatotprotective Natural Products, Samir Malhotra, Amrit Pal Singh

Ethnobotanical Leaflets

Medicinal herbs are significant source of pharmaceutical drugs. Latest trends have shown increasing demand of phytodrugs and some medicinal herbs have proven hepatotprotective potential. Silymarin, a flavonol lignan mixture) extracted from the Silybum marianum (milk thistle) is a popular remedy for hepatic diseases. Today every herbal company is marketing formulations for liver disorders but the actual scene is that only selected medicinal herbs have been tested for hepatotprotective activity. Some herbal formulations claiming to be hepatoprotective may actually contain chemical constituents having hepatotoxic potential. Andrographolide (Andrographis paniculata), Glycyrrhizin (Glychyrrhiza glabra), Picrrorihzin (Picrorrhiza kurroa) and Hypo-phyllanthin (Phyllanthus niruri) are potential candidates …


Common Medicinal Folk Recipes Of District Buner, Nwfp, Pakistan, Muhammad Hamayun, Ambara Khan, Mir Ajab Khan Jan 2003

Common Medicinal Folk Recipes Of District Buner, Nwfp, Pakistan, Muhammad Hamayun, Ambara Khan, Mir Ajab Khan

Ethnobotanical Leaflets

An ethnobotanical project was carried out in the remote mountainous region of District Buner. Locals rely on medicinal plants for curing different ailments since time immemorial. However, recent and ever increasing dependency of locals on allopathic drugs along with industrialization, urbanization and globalization trends slowly but surely are modifying indigenous values and culture. The existing ethnobotanical knowledge of the area will not remain intact for long. In present study an effort was made to document common folk recipes of the area. Thus folk recipes used for curing 30 common diseases in the area were documented.


Structural And Functional Adaptations To Extreme Temperatures In Psychrophilic, Mesophilic, And Thermophilic Dna Ligases, Daphné Georlette, Benjamin Damien, Vinciane Blaise, Eric Depiereux, Vladimir N. Uversky, Charles Gerday, Georges Feller Jan 2003

Structural And Functional Adaptations To Extreme Temperatures In Psychrophilic, Mesophilic, And Thermophilic Dna Ligases, Daphné Georlette, Benjamin Damien, Vinciane Blaise, Eric Depiereux, Vladimir N. Uversky, Charles Gerday, Georges Feller

Molecular Medicine Faculty Publications

Psychrophiles, host of permanently cold habitats, display metabolic fluxes comparable to those exhibited by mesophilic organisms at moderate temperatures. These organisms have evolved by producing, among other peculiarities, cold-active enzymes that have the properties to cope with the reduction of chemical reaction rates induced by low temperatures. The emerging picture suggests that these enzymes display a high catalytic efficiency at low temperatures through an improved flexibility of the structural components involved in the catalytic cycle, whereas other protein regions, if not implicated in catalysis, may be even more rigid than their mesophilic counterparts. In return, the increased flexibility leads to …


Semblances Of Sovereignty: The Constitution, The State, And American Citizenship, T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Harvard University Press, 2002. Pp. 223, Harvey Gee Jan 2003

Semblances Of Sovereignty: The Constitution, The State, And American Citizenship, T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Harvard University Press, 2002. Pp. 223, Harvey Gee

St. Thomas Law Review

A major contribution to the contemporary thinking about immigration, citizenship, and assimilation is offered by Georgetown Law Center Law Professor T. Alexander Aleinikoff in his recent volume, Semblances of Sovereignty: The Constitution, the State, and American Citizenship. The book helps to advance the immigration debate and define what it means to be an American. Aleinikoff paints with broad theoretical strokes with academics in mind. Relying on theory, he asks readers to consider how the court has treated the issue of "citizenship" and how it has defined its boundaries and limitations. He also addresses the reasons why traditional notions of immigrant …


[Review Of] Claudia Koonz. The Nazi Conscience, Gregory Paul Wegner Jan 2003

[Review Of] Claudia Koonz. The Nazi Conscience, Gregory Paul Wegner

Ethnic Studies Review

As the author observed in this engaging work, the expression "Nazi conscience" is not an oxymoron. Nazi morality, profoundly ethnic in nature, sharply defined those accepted and rejected as members of the German Volk. Claudia Koonz describes with great clarity the emergence of an "ethnic fundamentalism" supported by numerous "ethnocrats" under the Third Reich who, during the "normal years" of 1933-1 939, advanced decidedly racial and biological perspectives on ethnicity (141, 217). Especially significant for our understanding of Nazi racial policy is Koonz's exploration of German public opinion, much of which reflected an abhorrence of Nazi brutality. What made the …

Acalypha Deamii : Distribution East Of The Appalachians And Comparative Studies Of Reproductive Anatomy, Patricia A. Truman Jan 2003

Acalypha Deamii : Distribution East Of The Appalachians And Comparative Studies Of Reproductive Anatomy, Patricia A. Truman

Master's Theses

Acalypha deamii (Euphorbiaceae), once thought restricted to flood plains of the Ohio and mid-Mississippi River systems, is now documented from similar habitats in Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia along the James, Potomac, Rappahannock, Roanoke (Staunton), and Shenandoah rivers. This species is recognized by two-carpellate gynoecia, large seeds, and the routine occurrence of allomorphic flowers and fruits, features sporadically found within this large genus. In addition to documenting the newly recognized range extension of Acalypha deamii, this thesis also investigates the nature of its allomorphic reproductive structures. Staminate, pistillate, fruiting, and allomorphic reproductive structures of Acalypha deamii and a closely related …


An Integrated, Secured, Open-Source Medical Prototype For Collaborative Patient Management On The Internet, Joseph Dabre Ramsey Jan 2003

An Integrated, Secured, Open-Source Medical Prototype For Collaborative Patient Management On The Internet, Joseph Dabre Ramsey

CCAC Theses and Dissertations

Conventional approaches to building critical and secured systems are based on the use of commercial tools for development and maintenance. Changes in the marketplace and the acceptance of the open-source model have brought this assumption into question. The combination of open-source's rapid rise and the introduction of pervasive computing has made the computing industry more receptive to open-source tools and products. The open-source model allows systems to be controlled by a single individual or a small developer group that reduces dependence on individual experts. The availability of free system source codes, an expanding commercial support market, and increasing global collaborative …

Review Of The Nature Of Nebraska: Ecology And Biodiversity Paul A. Johnsgard, L. Lareesa Wolfenbarger Jan 2003

Review Of The Nature Of Nebraska: Ecology And Biodiversity Paul A. Johnsgard, L. Lareesa Wolfenbarger

Biology Faculty Publications

As a newcomer to Nebraska and someone learning the natural history of this place, I thoroughly enjoyed The Nature of Nebraska. More consequentially, the book will serve as a valuable resource for longtime naturalists, teachers, and others who want to learn about Nebraska's natural history.

Opening with a discussion of geology and ecology, Johnsgard offers a broad overview of Nebraska's ecological diversity, intertwining material on the natural forces that have historically dominated the Plains with a discussion of the anthropogenic forces currently altering the region's unique ecological nature. Approximately half of the book is devoted to more specific descriptions …

The Role Of Eicosanoids On Nodulation Reactions To Bacterium Serratia Marcescens In Larvae Of Ostrinia Nubilalis, Hasan Tunaz, Ali̇ Arda Işikber, Mehmet Kubi̇lay Er Jan 2003

The Role Of Eicosanoids On Nodulation Reactions To Bacterium Serratia Marcescens In Larvae Of Ostrinia Nubilalis, Hasan Tunaz, Ali̇ Arda Işikber, Mehmet Kubi̇lay Er

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Nodulation is the first step of the cellular defense reactions to bacterial infections in insects. In the present study, injecting larvae of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, with eicosanoid biosynthesis inhibitors, immediately prior to intrahemocoelic injections of the bacterium, Serratia marcescens, sharply reduced the nodulation response to bacterial challenges. Separate treatments with specific inhibitors including dexamethasone (a phospholipase A_2 inhibitor), indomethacin (a cyclooxygenase inhibitor) and phenidone (a dual cyclooxgenase/lipoxygenase inhibitor) also impaired the ability of European corn borers to form nodules in reaction to bacterial challenges. The inhibitory influence of phenidone was apparent within 30 mins after infection, and …


Imported Longhorned Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Injury To Soybean: Physiological Response And Injury Guild-Level Economic Injury Levels, Thomas E. Hunt, Leon G. Higley, Fikru J. Haile Jan 2003

Imported Longhorned Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Injury To Soybean: Physiological Response And Injury Guild-Level Economic Injury Levels, Thomas E. Hunt, Leon G. Higley, Fikru J. Haile

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

The imported longhorned weevil, Calomycterus setarius Roelofs, is an occasional pest of soybean, Glycine max (L.), and can cause substantial defoliation of seedling soybean when the weevil is present in large numbers. Because weevil populations can reach high levels, the potential exists for significant seedling injury, so economic injury levels (EILs) are needed for imported longhorned weevil on seedling soybean. Because the bean leaf beetle, Cerotoma trifurcata (Forster), also is present on seedling soybean, injury by this insect should be included in EIL calculations. This study was conducted to (1) determine daily soybean consumption rates of imported longhorned weevil; (2) …
