English Football And Its Hong Kong Television Audience, Victor Fan Mar 2006

English Football And Its Hong Kong Television Audience, Victor Fan

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper "English Football and Its Hong Kong Television Audience," Victor Fan applies Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's thought in their Kafka. Pour une littérature mineure to map the relationship between the English Premier League of football (soccer) and its Hong Kong television audience/spectatorship. Fan first introduces the background of the English Premier League in relation to its increasing subjugation under Thatcherite and post-Thatcherite consumerist economy. He then examines how the Premier League as televised image transforms the game to hyperreality. Fan argues that these are conditions under which the subaltern would appropriate the hyper-sign as an individuated mental …

Causes And Mechanisms, An Interview With Dr. Jeremiah Stamler, Samuel S. Gidding Mar 2006

Causes And Mechanisms, An Interview With Dr. Jeremiah Stamler, Samuel S. Gidding

Department of Pediatrics Faculty Papers

Dr. Jeremiah Stamler began his career in New York City and moved to Chicago in 1947 with his wife Rose, to accept a basic research position with Dr. Louis N. Katz. Early animal studies convinced him of the role of dietary factors, particularly cholesterol and salt, in the etiology of atherosclerotic vascular disease. Because of a strong interest in public health, he began the first of many population based cohort studies in the 1950s that subsequently defined the role of health behaviors (adverse nutrition choices, tobacco use, low physical activity) and associated measurable biologic traits, now called risk factors, in …

Malignant Catarrhal Fever In Swamp Buffaloes (Bubalus Bubalis): A Retrospective Pathological Study Of Outbreaks In Thailand, Komkrich Teankam, Rachod Tantilertcharoen, Thanasak Boonserm, Siriwat Suadsong, Wijit Banlunara

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is a highly fatal disease of ruminants which has not been extensively studied in Thailand. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical signs and pathological findings of MCFaffected buffaloes (n = 13), in the Nakhonpathom province of Thailand. All cases were collected between May 1996 and August 2000. Before the 1998 outbreak, four clinically normal sheep were moved into a pen adjacent to the buffaloes’ pens. The animals developed clinical signs of severe depression, anorexia, high fever, hypersalivation, and corneal opacity-associated excessive lacrimation. Necropsy revealed severe haemorrhages in various organs including the oropharynx, …

Introduction To In-Print Symposium, Thane Rosenbaum Mar 2006

Introduction To In-Print Symposium, Thane Rosenbaum

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The legal system prioritizes procedural rules and adversarial practices over moral values and human emotions, leading to a disconnect between legal outcomes and moral justice. The author argues that this reflects a broader societal issue where morality is compartmentalized into private life, neglecting its role in professional and public spheres. He advocates for integrating moral principles into all aspects of life to address this disconnect.

Irregular Enemies And The Essence Of Strategy: Can The American Way Of War Adapt?, Colin S. Gray Dr. Mar 2006

Irregular Enemies And The Essence Of Strategy: Can The American Way Of War Adapt?, Colin S. Gray Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author offers a detailed comparison between the character of irregular warfare, insurgency in particular, and the principal enduring features of "the American way." He concludes that there is a serious mismatch between that "way" and the kind of behavior that is most effective in countering irregular foes. The author poses the question, Can the American way of war adapt to a strategic threat context dominated by irregular enemies? He suggests that the answer is "perhaps, but only with difficulty."

Potassium Ion Channels Of Chlorella Viruses Cause Rapid Depolarization Of Host Cells During Infection, Florian Frohns, Anja Kasmann, Detlef Kramer, Britta Schafer, Mario Mehmel, Ming Kang, James L. Van Etten, Sabrina Gazzarrini, Ana Morino, Gerhard Thiel Mar 2006

Potassium Ion Channels Of Chlorella Viruses Cause Rapid Depolarization Of Host Cells During Infection, Florian Frohns, Anja Kasmann, Detlef Kramer, Britta Schafer, Mario Mehmel, Ming Kang, James L. Van Etten, Sabrina Gazzarrini, Ana Morino, Gerhard Thiel

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

revious studies have established that chlorella viruses encode K+ channels with different structural and functional properties. In the current study, we exploit the different sensitivities of these channels to Cs+ to determine if the membrane depolarization observed during virus infection is caused by the activities of these channels. Infection of Chlorella NC64A with four viruses caused rapid membrane depolarization of similar amplitudes, but with different kinetics. Depolarization was fastest after infection with virus SC-1A (half time [t1/2], about 9 min) and slowest with virus NY-2A (t1/2, about 12 min). Cs+ inhibited …

Polarity In Plants - Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 12, Steven D. Harris Mar 2006

Polarity In Plants - Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 12, Steven D. Harris

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

Polarity is a fundamental property of all cells. The molecular mechanisms that underlies the establishment and maintenance of cellular polarity have been intensively studied in animal cells and yeast-like fungi. These studies reveal an emerging general principle whereby positional information is relayed to the cytoskeleton and other morphogenetic functions by conserved signaling pathways. Comparatively less attention has been directed toward the molecular basis of polarized growth in plant cells and tissues. This volume, Polarity in Plants, provides a comprehensive review of the topic that should satisfy both hardcore aficionados of plant cell and developmental biology as well as curious investigators …

Anthropology, Human Rights, And Legal Knowledge: Culture In The Iron Cage, Annelise Riles Mar 2006

Anthropology, Human Rights, And Legal Knowledge: Culture In The Iron Cage, Annelise Riles

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

In this article, I draw on ethnography in the particular zone of engagement between anthropologists, on the one hand, and human rights lawyers who are skeptical of the human rights regime, on the other hand. I argue that many of the problems anthropologists encounter with the appropriation and marginalization of anthropology's analytical tools can be understood in terms of the legal character of human rights. In particular, discursive engagement between anthropology and human rights is animated by the pervasive instrumentalism of legal knowledge. I contend that both anthropologists who seek to describe the culture of human rights and lawyers who …

Significant Association Between Punitive And Compensatory Damages In Blockbuster Cases: A Methodological Primer, Theodore Eisenberg, Martin T. Wells Mar 2006

Significant Association Between Punitive And Compensatory Damages In Blockbuster Cases: A Methodological Primer, Theodore Eisenberg, Martin T. Wells

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

This article assesses the relation between punitive and compensatory damages in a data set, gathered by Hersch and Viscusi (H-V), consisting of all known punitive damages awards in excess of $100 million from 1985 through 2003. It shows that a strong, statistically significant relation exists between punitive and compensatory awards, a relation that replicates similar findings in nearly all other analyses of punitive and compensatory damages. H-V's claim that no significant relation exists between punitive and compensatory awards in these data appears to be an artifact of questionable regression methodology.

Effects Of Predator Removal On Upland Nesting Ducks In North Dakota Grassland Fragments, Kristen D. Chodachek, Michael J. Chamberlain Mar 2006

Effects Of Predator Removal On Upland Nesting Ducks In North Dakota Grassland Fragments, Kristen D. Chodachek, Michael J. Chamberlain

The Prairie Naturalist

Low nest success rates in the Prairie Pothole Region are attributed mainly to changes in the predator community coupled with reductions in availability of suitable nesting cover. We evaluated effects of removal of mammalian predators on pair density and nest success of ducks nesting on 259 ha sites in northeastern North Dakota during 2001 and 2002. We monitored pair density and duck nests on 10 sites with removal and 10 sites without removal. Overall nest success for both years was greater on trapped (53.4%) than nontrapped sites (28.7%). Pair densities were not affected by predator removal, but did increase across …

"Contracting" For Credit, Ronald J. Mann Mar 2006

"Contracting" For Credit, Ronald J. Mann

Michigan Law Review

On a recent day, I used my credit cards in connection with a number of minor transactions. I made eight purchases, and I paid two credit card bills. I also discarded (without opening) three solicitations for new cards, balance transfer programs, or other similar offers to extend credit via a credit card. Statistics suggest that I am not atypical. U.S. consumers last year used credit cards in about 100 purchasing transactions per capita, with an average value of about $70. At the end of the year, Americans owed nearly $500 billion dollars, in the range of $1,800 for every man, …

Fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase 3 Ligand Recruits Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells To The Brain, James Curtin, Gwendalyn King, Carlos Barcia, Chunyan Liu, Francois Hubert, Carole Guillonneau, Regis Josien, Ignacio Anegon, Pedro Lowenstein, Maria Castro Mar 2006

Fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase 3 Ligand Recruits Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells To The Brain, James Curtin, Gwendalyn King, Carlos Barcia, Chunyan Liu, Francois Hubert, Carole Guillonneau, Regis Josien, Ignacio Anegon, Pedro Lowenstein, Maria Castro

Articles

The lack of professional afferent APCs in naive brain parenchyma contributes to the systemic immune ignorance to Ags localized exclusively within the brain. Dendritic cells (DCs) appear within the brain as a consequence of inflammation, but no molecular mechanisms accounting for this influx have been described. In this study we demonstrate that Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L) recruits plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs; >50-fold; p < 0.001) to the brain parenchyma. These pDCs expressed IFN-alpha, the hallmark cytokine produced by pDCs, indicating recruitment and activation in situ of bona fide pDCs within the brain parenchyma. Flt3L did not increase the numbers of conventional DCs, macrophages, or B, T, NK, NKT, or microglial cells within the brain. Our data demonstrate that Flt3L reconstitutes a crucial afferent component of the immune response, namely, professional APCs within the brain parenchyma, and this could counteract the intrinsic systemic immune ignorance to Ags localized exclusively within the brain.
