Trehalose Uptake Through P2x7 Purinergic Channels Provides Dehydration Protection, Gloria D. Elliott, Xiang Hong Liu, Jennifer L. Cusick, Michael Menze, Jill Vincent, Trudy Witt, Steve Hand, Mehmet Toner

Faculty Publications

The tetra-anionic form of ATP (ATP4-) is known to induce monovalent and divalent ion fluxes in cells that express purinergic P2X 7 receptors and with sustained application of ATP it has been shown that dyes as large as 831 Da can permeate the cell membrane. The current study explores the kinetics of loading α,α-trehalose (342 Da) into ATP stimulated J774.A1 cells, which are known to express the purinergic P2X 7 receptor. Cells that were incubated at 37°C in a 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 225 mM trehalose and 5 mM ATP, were shown to load trehalose linearly over …

Institute for Sustainable Solutions Publications and Presentations

This article outlines an approach, based on ecosystem services, for assessing the trade-offs inherent in managing humans embedded in ecological systems. Evaluating these trade-offs requires an understanding of the biophysical magnitudes of the changes in ecosystem services that result from human actions, and of the impact of these changes on human welfare.We summarize the state of the art of ecosystem services?based management and the information needs for applying it. Three case studies of Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites?coastal, urban, and agricultural? illustrate the usefulness, information needs, quantification possibilities, and methods for this approach. One example of the application of …

Kinesiology and Public Health

Purpose: This study tested the hypothesis that antioxidant supplementation would attenuate plasma cytokine (IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations at rest and in response to exercise at 4300-m elevation.
Methods: A total of 17 recreationally trained men were matched and assigned to an antioxidant (N = 9) or placebo (N = 8) group in a double-blinded fashion. At sea level (SL), energy expenditure was controlled and subjects were weight stable. Then, 3 wk before and throughout high altitude (HA), an antioxidant supplement (10,000 IU β-carotene, 200 IU α-tocopherol acetate, 250 mg ascorbic …

Consumer Attitudes Toward Corporate Sponsorship, Brand Image And Purchase Intentions In Taiwanese Baseball Fans, Cheng-Che Chiang Feb 2006

Consumer Attitudes Toward Corporate Sponsorship, Brand Image And Purchase Intentions In Taiwanese Baseball Fans, Cheng-Che Chiang

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

Corporate sponsorship expenditures in sports and other events is one of the fastest growing forms of marketing communications, which has grown at a faster pace than traditional media advertising and sales promotion. However, there has not been a great deal of research in this area. In Taiwan, sponsorship has not been forthcoming as a major marketing communication tool and further has not gained much attention for academic research. This research is an investigation of event attendees' response to sponsorship marketing and the sponsor's brand image as well as the purchase intention by participants at an athletic event in Tainan, Taiwan. …

Defining Quality In Early Childhood Settings: Experiences From The Field, Atiya Hussain, Audrey Juma Feb 2006

Defining Quality In Early Childhood Settings: Experiences From The Field, Atiya Hussain, Audrey Juma

Book Chapters / Conference Papers

“The successful education of the child during her/his years of schooling and the participation of that child in society as an adult, depends to a greater degree upon the foundation laid during the early years” (Evans, Myers and IIfled, 2000, p.7). Research indicates that learning is crucial to development whereby knowledge, skills, attitudes and values are developed. Research from disciplines such as physiology, nutrition, health, sociology, psychology and education provide evidence indicating that the early years are crucial in terms of developing intelligence, personality and social behaviour of children. If children are not provided opportunities to communicate, learn and develop …

Exploring Foshay’S Theorem For Curriculum-Making In Education: An Elementary School Art Studio Project., James Haywood Rolling Jr. Feb 2006

Exploring Foshay’S Theorem For Curriculum-Making In Education: An Elementary School Art Studio Project., James Haywood Rolling Jr.

Teaching and Leadership - All Scholarship

This study explores the question of “why we teach as we do” through the self-reflexive lens described by several noted curriculum theorists, but perhaps best exemplified in a simple theorem for a reflexive curriculum-making praxis first proposed by aesthetics educator Arthur W. Foshay in his aphorism, “Who is to encounter what, why, how, in what circumstances, under what governance, at what cost?” The efficacy in Foshay’s postulation is not self-evident, but must be revealed in an alternating sequence of engagements with the constituent elements of its syntax. The method for this presentation of living inquiry in curriculum-making is trifold, involving …

Performance Of A Prototype Baited-Trap In Attracting And Infecting The Tick Amblyomma Variegatum (Acari: Ixodidae) In Field Experiments, R. O. Maranga, A. Hassanali, G. P. Kaaya, J. M. Mueke Feb 2006

Performance Of A Prototype Baited-Trap In Attracting And Infecting The Tick Amblyomma Variegatum (Acari: Ixodidae) In Field Experiments, R. O. Maranga, A. Hassanali, G. P. Kaaya, J. M. Mueke

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Investigations were commenced to study the potential use of the fungi, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, and the attraction-aggregation- attachment pheromone (AAAP) for the control of Ambloyomma variegatum as an environmentally friendly technology. The objective of the study was to develop and test a device, which could be used for pheromone and carbon dioxide delivery and infection of ticks with the fungi in an attempt to control the tick populations in the vegetation. Using a pheromone-baited device treated with the fungi mixture, 79% of the ticks released were attracted and exposed to the fungi and of these, 78% died during incubation …

Linking Direct And Indirect Data On Dispersal: Isolation By Slope In A Headwater Stream Salamander, Winsor H. Lowe, Gene E. Likens, Mark A. Mcpeek, Don C. Buso Feb 2006

Linking Direct And Indirect Data On Dispersal: Isolation By Slope In A Headwater Stream Salamander, Winsor H. Lowe, Gene E. Likens, Mark A. Mcpeek, Don C. Buso

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

There is growing recognition of the need to incorporate information on movement behavior in landscape-scale studies of dispersal. One way to do this is by using indirect indices of dispersal (e.g., genetic differentiation) to test predictions derived from direct data on movement behavior. Mark–recapture studies documented upstream-biased movement in the salamander Gyrinophilus porphyriticus (Plethodontidae). Based on this information, we hypothesized that gene flow in G. porphyriticus is affected by the slope of the stream. Specifically, because the energy required for upstream dispersal is positively related to slope, we predicted gene flow to be negatively related to change in elevation between …

An Introduced Predator Alters Aleutian Island Plant Communities By Thwarting Nutrient Subsidies, John L. Maron, James A. Estes, Donald A. Croll, Eric M. Danner, Sarah C. Elmendorf, Stacey L. Buckelew Feb 2006

An Introduced Predator Alters Aleutian Island Plant Communities By Thwarting Nutrient Subsidies, John L. Maron, James A. Estes, Donald A. Croll, Eric M. Danner, Sarah C. Elmendorf, Stacey L. Buckelew

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

The ramifying effects of top predators on food webs traditionally have been studied within the framework of trophic cascades. Trophic cascades are compelling because they embody powerful indirect effects of predators on primary production. Although less studied, indirect effects of predators may occur via routes that are not exclusively trophic. We quantified how the introduction of foxes onto the Aleutian Islands transformed plant communities by reducing abundant seabird populations, thereby disrupting nutrient subsidies vectored by seabirds from sea to land. We compared soil and plant fertility, plant biomass and community composition, and stable isotopes of nitrogen in soil, plants, and …

A Novel Approach To Measure Variability In The Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficient Knee During Walking: The Use Of The Approximate Entropy In Orthopaedics, Anastasios D. Georgoulis, Constantina O. Moraiti, Stavros Ristanis, Nikolaos Stergiou Feb 2006

A Novel Approach To Measure Variability In The Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficient Knee During Walking: The Use Of The Approximate Entropy In Orthopaedics, Anastasios D. Georgoulis, Constantina O. Moraiti, Stavros Ristanis, Nikolaos Stergiou

Journal Articles

Objective. The evaluation of variability of biological rhythmic activities through measures such as Approximate Entropy (ApEn) has provided important information regarding pathology in disciplines such as cardiology and neurology. This research lead to the “loss of complexity hypothesis” where decreased variability is associated with loss of healthy flexibility rendering the system more rigid and unable to adapt to stresses. ApEn as a measure of variability and complexity, correlates well with pathology while, in some cases, it is predictive of subsequent clinical changes. The study of human gait could benefit from the application of ApEn since it is also a …

Form Over Substance: The Inadequacy Of Informed Consent And Ethical Review For Thai Injection Drug Users Enrolled In Hiv Vaccine Trials, Joan M. Doherty Feb 2006

Form Over Substance: The Inadequacy Of Informed Consent And Ethical Review For Thai Injection Drug Users Enrolled In Hiv Vaccine Trials, Joan M. Doherty

Washington International Law Journal

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (“AIDS”) has emerged as a health issue of global significance, and clinical research on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”) and AIDS has become increasingly international in scope. A clinical trial of a vaccine designed to prevent the spread of the HIV raises important legal and ethical questions because injection drug users who were believed to be unsuitable subjects for study in the United States were singled out for research in Thailand. The protections for human subjects must not be compromised when U.S. pharmaceutical companies conduct research abroad, particularly where clinical trials are conducted in vulnerable populations. U.S. …
