Interview With Dr. Gary Yia Lee, Paul Hillmer Dec 2005

Interview With Dr. Gary Yia Lee, Paul Hillmer

Hmong Oral History Project

Dr. Gary Yia Lee, distinguished anthropologist and scholar, traveled from his home in Sydney, Australia to California for a funeral, then made a stop to visit family in the Twin Cities. Tou Thao, his nephew, is an alumnus of Concordia University and a founder of the Hmong Oral History Project. He prevailed on his kind uncle, despite jet lag, the exhausting effects of a three-day funeral, and many, many demands on his time (including a presentation at Concordia University on 29 December), to sit down with me. I owe many thanks-and apologies-to Dr. Lee, his wife Maylee Lee, and the …

The Mechanism Of Membrane Targeting Of Human Sphingosine Kinase 1, Robert V. Stahelin, Jeong H. Hwang, Jin-Hahn Kim, Zee-Yong Park, Korey R. Johnson, Lina M. Obeid, Wonhwa Cho

Faculty Publications & Research

Sphingosine 1-phosphate is a bioactive sphingolipid that regu- lates cell growth and suppresses programmed cell death. The bio- synthesis of sphingosine 1-phosphate is catalyzed by sphingosine kinase (SK) but the mechanism by which the subcellular localization and activity of SK is regulated in response to various stimuli is not fully understood. To elucidate the origin and structural determi- nant of the specific subcellular localization of SK, we performed biophysical and cell studies of human SK1 (hSK1) and selected mutants. In vitro measurements showed that hSK1 selectively bound phosphatidylserine over other anionic phospholipids and strongly preferred the plasma membrane-mimicking membrane to …


Diagnosis Of Alcoholism Based On Neural Network Analysis Of Phenotypic Risk Factors, Catherine T. Falk Dec 2005

Diagnosis Of Alcoholism Based On Neural Network Analysis Of Phenotypic Risk Factors, Catherine T. Falk

Publications and Research

Background Alcoholism is a serious public health problem. It has both genetic and environmental causes. In an effort to gain understanding of the underlying genetic susceptibility to alcoholism, a long-term study has been undertaken. The Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) provides a rich source of genetic and phenotypic data. One ongoing problem is the difficulty of reliably diagnosing alcoholism, despite many known risk factors and measurements. We have applied a well known pattern-matching method, neural network analysis, to phenotypic data provided to participants in Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 by COGA. The aim is to train the network …

A Genome-Wide Linkage And Association Study Using Coga Data, Xiaofeng Zhu, Richard Cooper, Donghui Kan, Guichan Cao, Xiaodong Wu Dec 2005

A Genome-Wide Linkage And Association Study Using Coga Data, Xiaofeng Zhu, Richard Cooper, Donghui Kan, Guichan Cao, Xiaodong Wu

Faculty Publications

Background: Genome-wide association will soon be available to use as an adjunct to traditional linkage analysis. We studied alcoholism in 119 families collected by the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism and made available in Genetic Analysis Workshop 14, using genome-wide linkage and association analyses. Methods: Genome-wide linkage analysis was first performed using microsatellite markers and a region with the strongest linkage evidence was further analyzed using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Family based genome-wide association test was also conducted using the SNPs. Results: Nonparametric linkage analysis revealed weak linkage evidence on chromosome 7, and association analysis identified SNP tscOS 15272 …

Identifying Genetic Variation Affecting A Complex Trait In Simulated Data: A Comparison Of Meta-Analysis With Pooled Data Analysis, Xiaodong Wu, Donghui Kan, Richard S. Cooper, Xiaofeng Zhu

Faculty Publications

We explored the power and consistency to detect linkage and association with meta-analysis and pooled data analysis using Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 simulated data. The first 10 replicates from Aipotu population were used. Significant linkage and association was found at all 4 regions containing the major loci for Kofendrerd Personality Disorder (KPD) using both combined analyses although no significant linkage and association was found at all these regions in a single replicate. The linkage results from both analyses are consistent in terms of the significance level of linkage test and the estimate of locus location. After correction for multiple-testing, significant …

Finite-Dimensional Algebras With Smallest Resolutions Of Simple Modules, Shashidhar Jagadeeshan, Mark Kleiner

Mathematics - All Scholarship

Let lamda be an associative ring with identity and with the Jacobson radical r, let mod lamda be the category of finitely generated left lamda-modules, and let lamdaop be the opposite ring of lamda. All modules are left unital modules, and if X is a module then pd X is the projective dimension of X. If lamda is left artinian and M in mod labmda, we denote by P(M) a projective cover of M.

College of Natural and Applied Sciences

Errors while genotyping are inevitable and can reduce the power to detect linkage. However, does genotyping error have the same impact on linkage results for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and microsatellite (MS) marker maps? To evaluate this question we detected genotyping errors that are consistent with Mendelian inheritance using large changes in multipoint identity-by-descent sharing in neighboring markers. Only a small fraction of Mendelian consistent errors were detectable (e.g., 18% of MS and 2.4% of SNP genotyping errors). More SNP genotyping errors are Mendelian consistent compared to MS genotyping errors, so genotyping error may have a greater impact on linkage results …

Book Review: The Myth Of Law And Literature, Bernadette A. Meyler Dec 2005

Book Review: The Myth Of Law And Literature, Bernadette A. Meyler

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

In The Myth of Moral Justice, Thane Rosenbaum generates an ambitious and idealistic plan for a rapprochement between law and morality, between emotion and reason, and between law and its literary representations. Laudable and inspiring, Rosenbaum's project remains flawed in several ways that are traceable back to his reliance on aspects of law and literature scholarship. Unfortunately, Rosenbaum's attempt to replace the myth of moral justice with a truly moral legal system depends itself on a particular set of myths about law and literature. After examining two recent critiques of the law and literature movement, one from the vantage point …
