Innate Antiviral Response Targets Hiv-1 Release By The Induction Of Ubiquitin-Like Protein Isg15, Atsushi Okumura, Gengshi Lu, Ian Pitha-Rowe, Paula M. Pitha Jan 2006

Innate Antiviral Response Targets Hiv-1 Release By The Induction Of Ubiquitin-Like Protein Isg15, Atsushi Okumura, Gengshi Lu, Ian Pitha-Rowe, Paula M. Pitha

Dartmouth Scholarship

The goal of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which type I IFN inhibits assembly and release of HIV-1 virions. Our study revealed that the IFN-induced ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 mimics the IFN effect and inhibits release of HIV-1 virions without having any effect on the synthesis of HIV-1 proteins in the cells. ISG15 expression specifically inhibited ubiquitination of Gag and Tsg101 and disrupted the interaction of the Gag L domain with Tsg101, but conjugation of ISG15 to Gag or Tsg101 was not detected. The inhibition of Gag-Tsg101 interaction was also detected in HIV-1 infected, IFN-treated cells. Elimination …


A New Theory And Measure Of Ethical Work Climate: The Psychological Process Model (Ppm) And The Ethical Climate Index (Eci), Anke Arnaud Jan 2006

A New Theory And Measure Of Ethical Work Climate: The Psychological Process Model (Ppm) And The Ethical Climate Index (Eci), Anke Arnaud

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With this dissertation I developed a new theory and measure of ethical work climate (EWC). Currently, there exists one dominant theory and measure of EWC developed by Victor and Cullen (1988, 1987). Even though researchers have identified problems with this theory, such as inconsistencies with regard to its limited theoretical scope and troubling psychometric properties, it is the most widely utilized framework for conceptualizing and testing EWC. Therefore, I propose to develop an improved theory and measure of EWC, one capable of addressing some of the principle shortcomings of earlier efforts. Building on Rest's (1986, 1979) "Four-Component" model of individual-level …


Epidemiological Models For Mutating Pathogens With Temporary Immunity, Neeta Singh Jan 2006

Epidemiological Models For Mutating Pathogens With Temporary Immunity, Neeta Singh

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Significant progress has been made in understanding different scenarios for disease transmissions and behavior of epidemics in recent years. A considerable amount of work has been done in modeling the dynamics of diseases by systems of ordinary differential equations. But there are very few mathematical models that deal with the genetic mutations of a pathogen. In-fact, not much has been done to model the dynamics of mutations of pathogen explaining its effort to escape the host's immune defense system after it has infected the host. In this dissertation we develop an SIR model with variable infection age for the transmission …


An Exploratory Study Of Socially Responsibleprocurement Activitiesin The Expenditure Of Public Fundsat The State And Local Level, Donna Mccarthy Jan 2006

An Exploratory Study Of Socially Responsibleprocurement Activitiesin The Expenditure Of Public Fundsat The State And Local Level, Donna Mccarthy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The aggregate annual expenditures of federal, state and local governments, in concert with universities and school districts represents incredible purchasing power and requires great prowess in its expenditure. Over the course of centuries, procurement has been used as a policy tool to improve society. This research delved into defining and determining the involvement of state and local governments in socially responsible activities related to the expenditure of public funds. Data collected in 2005 by the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, Inc., was reviewed to determine if the expectations set for the private sector known as corporate social responsibility could be …

A Feeling For The Micro-Organism: Structure On A Small Scale. Biofilms On Plant Roots, Nancy Fujishige Jan 2006

A Feeling For The Micro-Organism: Structure On A Small Scale. Biofilms On Plant Roots, Nancy Fujishige

Biology Faculty Works

Biofilms are structured communities of bacterial cells enclosed in a self-produced polymeric matrix and adherent to an inert or living surface; they have clinical, industrial and environmental impacts. Biofilms that are established by bacteria on plants are found on the surfaces of roots, leaves, seeds and internal vascular tissues where the microbes live in commensal, mutualistic or parasitic/pathogenic associations with their host. The study of the structure of plant-associated biofilms has been considerably helped by the development of techniques using fluorescent markers coupled with confocal scanning laser microscopy as well as scanning electron microscopy. We review several of these techniques …

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Thank you very much for this truly inspiring award, which I am honored to accept on my own behalf and on behalf of the many women with whom I have been privileged to work over the years. The award is presented against the backdrop of two historic international events: the passing of Rosa Parks and the announcement of the victory of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf as the first elected female head of state of an African country.


Obstruction Of Justice: The Arbitration Process For Anti-Doping Violations During The Olympic Games, Andrew Goldstone Jan 2006

Obstruction Of Justice: The Arbitration Process For Anti-Doping Violations During The Olympic Games, Andrew Goldstone

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Note will discuss the serious legal, ethical, and scientific questions raised by the dispute resolution process for anti-doping violations during the Olympic Games. Throughout the Note, I will highlight both procedural and substantive aspects of the process which raise sufficiently serious legal issues to merit an American court's agreement to review an Olympic arbitration award. Part I will discuss the rise of doping in sports, and the manner in which the problem has been, and is currently being addressed within the Olympic Movement. Part II will explain the hierarchy of sports governing bodies beneath the IOC and also discuss …


The Role Of Citizens And The Future Of International Law: A Paradigm For A Changing World, Avnita Lakhani Jan 2006

The Role Of Citizens And The Future Of International Law: A Paradigm For A Changing World, Avnita Lakhani

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Time is on our side and security is to be found, only if we would have a change of heart about the role that citizens can play in the future of international law. True, citizens do play a role in the development and enforcement of domestic laws, especially in more democratic and Western societies. Citizens have also had significant influence in the development of international law. However, citizens (i.e. non-state actors) have not had a direct hand in the enforcement of international law through private action as accorded to state-actors (i.e. governments). This means that citizens, in most cases, have …


Language, Morals, And Conceptual Frameworks In Dispute Resolution: Establishing, Employing, And Managing The Logos, Michael T. Wawrzycki Jan 2006

Language, Morals, And Conceptual Frameworks In Dispute Resolution: Establishing, Employing, And Managing The Logos, Michael T. Wawrzycki

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Any lawyer knows that words and language are important. A single word can derail a painstakingly written contract; the characterization of a would-be killer as a victim framed by racist police officers, rather than a jealous husband, can change the outcome of a case. Yet like many maxims, this important lesson is often forgotten when one is not confronted with the direct principles of words and language. Moreover, even most lawyers do not fully understand how to appropriately utilize the language tools that can change outcomes: myopically focusing on specific issues or characterizations rather than the overall conceptual frames.


Mediating Cases Involving Domestic Violence: Solution Or Setback?, Aimee Davis Jan 2006

Mediating Cases Involving Domestic Violence: Solution Or Setback?, Aimee Davis

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Note will first explore the psychological and social aspects of domestic violence. It will then examine the appropriateness of mediation for such cases, exploring viewpoints on the topic. Lastly, the Note will propose a standard to guide cases involving domestic violence. Although the victim should always have the final word on whether to mediate, a judge, psychologist, and mediator should collaborate and make a united recommendation as to how they suggest the victim should proceed. This will allow the victim to make a thoughtful and individualized assessment of her situation.


Moving From Mandatory: Making Adr Voluntary In New York Commercial Division Cases, Ari Davis Jan 2006

Moving From Mandatory: Making Adr Voluntary In New York Commercial Division Cases, Ari Davis

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Due to its success during the last thirteen years, New York's Commercial Division in the state's Supreme Court has become the model for other states and countries seeking to establish a commercial division for their court systems. Before 1993, New York's state court system had its dockets clogged with commercial cases. Judges who heard commercial litigation cases often did not have the expertise or resources to handle them well or give them proper attention. As a result, New York businesses turned to Delaware's Chancery Court, federal courts, and private dispute resolution to resolve their disputes and avoid the New York …


Helping Those Who Are Helping Us: Sarbanes-Oxley Whistleblower Protection And Its Interplay With Arbitration, Adam Fisher Jan 2006

Helping Those Who Are Helping Us: Sarbanes-Oxley Whistleblower Protection And Its Interplay With Arbitration, Adam Fisher

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

The accounting profession took a major blow to its credibility in 2002 when numerous scandals surfaced on the front pages of newspapers seemingly everyday. The most notable stories told of two women who, despite the enormous pressure and harassment they knew they would face, came forward to reveal the ugly truth behind the facades of America's corporate skyscrapers. Cynthia Cooper and Sherron Watkins, employees at WorldCom and Enron respectively, blew the whistle on major accounting frauds at these companies. Their employers' retaliation was harsh and swift, revealing the truth about how todays' corporate juggernauts operate.
