Loss Of Editing Activity During The Evolution Of Mitochondrial Phenylalanyl-Trna Synthetase, Hervé Roy, Jiqiang Ling, Juan D. Alfonzo, Michael Ibba

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Accurate selection of amino acids is essential for faithful translation of the genetic code. Errors during amino acid selection are usually corrected by the editing activity of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases such as phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases (PheRS), which edit misactivated tyrosine. Comparison of cytosolic and mitochondrial PheRS from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae suggested that the organellar protein might lack the editing activity. Yeast cytosolic PheRS was found to contain an editing site, which upon disruption abolished both cis and trans editing of Tyr-tRNA^Phe. Wild-type mitochondrial PheRS lacked cis and trans editing and could synthesize Tyr-tRNA^Phe, an activity enhanced in …

Principal Component Analysis For Predicting Transcription-Factor Binding Motifs From Array-Derived Data, Yunlong Liu, Matthew P Vincenti, Hiroki Yokota

Dartmouth Scholarship

The responses to interleukin 1 (IL-1) in human chondrocytes constitute a complex regulatory mechanism, where multiple transcription factors interact combinatorially to transcription-factor binding motifs (TFBMs). In order to select a critical set of TFBMs from genomic DNA information and an array-derived data, an efficient algorithm to solve a combinatorial optimization problem is required. Although computational approaches based on evolutionary algorithms are commonly employed, an analytical algorithm would be useful to predict TFBMs at nearly no computational cost and evaluate varying modelling conditions. Singular value decomposition (SVD) is a powerful method to derive primary components of a given matrix. Applying SVD …

Historical Morphodynamics Of John’S Pass, West-Central Florida, Jennifer Rose Krock

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

John’s Pass is a stable mixed-energy inlet located on a microtidal coast in Pinellas County, Florida. It is hydraulically connected to the northern portion of Boca Ciega Bay. Morphological analysis using a time-series of aerial photographs indicated that anthropogenic activities have influenced the evolution of the tidal deltas and adjacent shorelines at John’s Pass. Previous studies have documented the channel dimensions at the location of the existing bridge and calculated the tidal prism. A chronological analysis of these data yielded an increasing trend in the cross-sectional area at John’s Pass from 1873 to 2001. Anthropogenic activities occurring in Boca …

Occupational Exposure To Ultrafine Particles And Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons From Candle Emissions, David J. Silver

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are present in the ambient atmosphere and are generated from atmospheric gases, pollution sources, and combustion. Candles emit carbonaceous soot particles similar to UFPs present in the ambient atmosphere. With the exception of lead, airborne concentrations of candle emissions have not been shown capable of causing cancer or cardiopulmonary disease during normal use. The purpose of this research is to determine the occupational risk associated with candle emissions.

Candle studies employ chambers to measure candle emission exposures and assess public health risk. Chambers used in previous studies did not match normal room conditions. They were affected by …

Diversity Of Methanogens And Other Archaea In Permanently Cold, Anoxic Marine Sediments, Melissa Mary Kendell

Dissertations and Theses

Little is known about the mechanism of methanogenic degradation of acetate or the fate of hydrogen and formate in cold marine sediments, or the ability of methanogens to grow and produce methane there. We used cultivation and molecular techniques to examine the microbes that produce methane from these substrates in permanently cold, anoxic marine sediments at Skan Bay, Alaska (57°N, 167°W, depth 65 m), at the Nankai Trough (32°21'N, 134°56'E, depth 247 m), and at Hydrate Ridge, Oregon (44°35'N, 125°10'W, depth 800 m). Most probable number (MPN) analyses were conducted for CO2-reducing, methylotrophic, and aceticlastic methanogens from Skan Bay and …

Williamson, Ilya Ilyin, Debra A. Fischer, Melesio Muñoz, Howard Isaacson, M. I. Ratner, Meïr Semel, Pascal Petit, Brad D. Carter

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

We present the first detection of the secondary of the spectroscopic binary system IM Pegasi (HR 8703), the guide star for the NASA-Stanford relativity gyroscope mission Gravity Probe B. In support of this mission, high-resolution echelle spectra of IM Peg have been obtained on an almost nightly basis. Applying the technique of least-squares deconvolution, we achieve very high signal-to-noise ratio line profiles and detect the orbit of the secondary of the system. Combining almost 700 new radial velocity measurements of both the primary and secondary of the system with previous measurements, we derive improved orbital parameters of the IM Peg …

Nonparametric Estimation Of Bivariate Failure Time Associations In The Presence Of A Competing Risk, Karen Bandeen-Roche, Jing Ning

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

There has been much research on the study of associations among paired failure times. Most has either assumed time invariance of association or been based on complex measures or estimators. Little has accommodated failures arising amid competing risks. This paper targets the conditional cause specific hazard ratio, a recent modification of the conditional hazard ratio to accommodate competing risks data. Estimation is accomplished by an intuitive, nonparametric method that localizes Kendall’s tau. Time variance is accommodated through a partitioning of space into “bins” between which the strength of association may differ. Inferential procedures are researched, small sample performance evaluated, and …
