Memo On Binary Economics To Attorneys For Women And People Of Color Re: What Else Can Public Corporations Do For Your Clients?, Robert Ashford

College of Law - Faculty Scholarship

One important duty of lawyers is to assist clients in identifying and securing their essential rights, responsibilities, and opportunities. One important purpose of legal education is to enable lawyers to assist clients and society in identifying and securing essential rights, responsibilities, and opportunities. This Article describes one opportunity (based on an approach to economics called "binary economics" first proposed by Louis Kelso), rarely advanced by counsel, that may offer women and people of color, public corporations, and their shareholders benefits far greater than expectations based on the mainstream economic theories (classical, neoclassical, and Keynesian) usually employed to evaluate economic policy …

Cell and Molecular Biology Faculty Publications

d-Gluconate which is primarily catabolized via the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway, has been implicated as being important for colonization of the streptomycin-treated mouse large intestine by Escherichia coli MG1655, a human commensal strain. In the present study, we report that an MG1655 Δedd mutant defective in the ED pathway grows poorly not only on gluconate as a sole carbon source but on a number of other sugars previously implicated as being important for colonization, including l-fucose, d-gluconate, d-glucuronate, N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, d-mannose, and d-ribose. Furthermore, we show that the mouse intestine selects mutants of MG1655 Δedd and wild-type MG1655 that …

Habitat And Exposure Modelling For Ecological Risk Assessment: A, T. Edwin Chow, Karen F. Gaines, Michael E. Hodgson, Machelle D. Wilson

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Contamination has a dramatic impact on the health of ecosystem and habitat suitability for the inhabited flora and fauna. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates an ecological risk assessment (ERA) that evaluates the potential adverse impact of any anthropogenic activities on the ecosystem (US Environmental Protection Agency, 1997. Ecological Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund: Process for Designing and Conducting Ecological Risk Assessment. EPA/630/R-021011, Washington, DC). This study provides a general framework and specific procedures to predict the contaminant exposure of midsized mammals using a geographical information system (GIS)-based Monte Carlo simulation model. The model was applied to the raccoons (Procyon …

Allosteric Models For Multimeric Proteins: Oxygen-Linked Effector Binding In Hemocyanin, Michael A. Menze, Nadja Hellman, Heinz Decker, Manfred K. Grieshaber Jan 2005

Allosteric Models For Multimeric Proteins: Oxygen-Linked Effector Binding In Hemocyanin, Michael A. Menze, Nadja Hellman, Heinz Decker, Manfred K. Grieshaber

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

In many crustaceans, changing concentrations of several low molecular weight compounds modulates hemocyanin oxygen binding, resulting in lower or higher oxygen affinities of the pigment. The nonphysiological effector caffeine and the physiological modulator urate, the latter accumulating in the hemolymph of the lobster Homarus Vulgaris during hypoxia, increase hemocyanin oxygen affinity and decrease cooperativity of oxygen binding. To derive a model that describes the mechanism of allosteric interaction between hemocyanin and oxygen in the presence of urate or caffeine, studies of oxygen, urate, and caffeine binding to hemocyanin were performed. Exposure of lobster hemocyanin to various pH values between 7.25 …

The Relationship Between Community Diversity And Exotic Plants: Cause Or Consequence Of Invasion?, Scott J. Meiners, Mary L. Cadenasso Jan 2005

The Relationship Between Community Diversity And Exotic Plants: Cause Or Consequence Of Invasion?, Scott J. Meiners, Mary L. Cadenasso

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Invasion ecology has suffered from the artificial separation of invasibility and impact processes in understanding the ationship between diversity and plant invasion. By studying these independently functioning stages of invasion in concert, we can gain great insight into the biological causes and consequences of invasions, and develop crucial information for the generation of adequate management strategies. Our conceptual framework provides a structure to synthesize the current body of research, suggests research needed to fill the gaps in understanding and to organize results from future research. The framework is a powerful tool to guide ecological understanding of the relationship between invasion …

Morphological Divergence Of Native And Recently Established Populations Of White Sands Pupfish (Cyprinodon Tularosa), Michael L. Collyer, James M. Novak, Craig A. Stockwell

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

We used landmark-based geometric morphometric methods to describe patterns of body shape variation and shape covariation with size among populations of the threatened White Sands Pupfish (Cyprinodon tularosa), a species that occurs in dissimilar aquatic habitats. White Sands Pupfish populations include two genetically distinct, native populations that have been historically isolated in Salt Creek, a saline river, and Malpais Spring, a brackish spring. In addition, two populations were established approximately 30 years before this study by translocation of fish from Salt Creek to Lost River (a saline river) and Mound Spring (a brackish spring). We found significant body shape variation …

Allelic Variation In The Erythropoietin Receptor Gene Is Associated With Uterine Capacity And Litter Size In Swine, J. L. Vallet, B. A. Freking, K. A. Leymaster, R. K. Christenson

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; C vs. T) that creates an extra GATA-1 site (T allele) in intron 4 of the swine erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) gene was discovered and a genotyping assay for this SNP was developed. A total of 402 gilts from lines selected either at random (control), for ovulation rate (OR) or for uterine capacity (UC) for 11 generations were unilaterally hysterectomized-ovariectomized (UHO) at 160 days of age, mated at approximately 250 days of age and slaughtered at 105 days of pregnancy. Blood samples and spleens were collected from each foetus and the numbers of corpora lutea (CL) …

Different Levels Of Ovine Interferon-T Gene Expressions Are Regulated Through The Short Promoter Region Including Ets-2 Binding Site, Fuko Matsuda-Minehata, Momoko Katsumura, Sho Kijima, Ronald K. Christensen, Kazuhiko Imakawa

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

Regulation of interferon-t (IFNt) production, a conceptus secretory protein implicated in the process of maternal recognition of pregnancy, has not been fully elucidated. Among more than 10 ovine IFNt (oIFNt) gene sequences characterized, approximately 75% of oIFNt transcripts expressed in utero is derived from oIFNt-o10 gene and amounts of transcripts from other oIFNt genes such as oIFNt-o8 or oIFNt-o2 are minimal. It was hypothesized that the variation in expression levels exhibited by oIFNt-o10 and oIFNt-o8/-o2 genes was due to differences in the proximal promoter regions of these oIFNt genes. To test this hypothesis, transient transfection experiments with human choriocarcinoma JEG3 …

Perspectives For Artificial Insemination And Genomics To Improve Global Swine Populations, Roger J. Gerrits, Joan K. Lunney, Lawrence A. Johnson, Vernon G. Pursel, Robert R. Kraeling, Gary A. Rohrer, John R. Dobrinsky

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

Civilizations throughout the world continue to depend on pig meat as an important food source. Approximately 40% of the red meat consumed annually worldwide (94 million metric tons) is pig meat. Pig numbers (940 million) and consumption have increased consistent with the increasing world population (FAO 2002). In the past 50 years, research guided genetic selection and nutrition programs have had a major impact on improving carcass composition and efficiency of production in swine. The use of artificial insemination (AI) in Europe has also had a major impact on pig improvement in the past 35 years and more recently in …

On-Line Classification Of Us Select Beef Carcasses For Longissimus Tenderness Using Visible And Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy, S. D. Shackelford, T. L. Wheeler, M. Koohmaraie

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

The current experiment was conducted to evaluate the on-line application of visible and near-infrared spectroscopy (VISNIR) to US Select carcasses during commercial beef carcass grading procedures to predict tenderness of longissimus steaks after 14 days of refrigerated storage. A regression model was calibrated using 146 carcasses and tested against an additional 146 carcasses. Carcasses were segregated into VISNIR-based tenderness classes based on whether their VISNIR-predicted slice shear force value was less than (tender) or greater than (tough) the median predicted slice shear force value. Carcasses classified as tender by VISNIR had a lower mean SSF value, were less likely to …
