Insights Into Transcription Enhancer Factor 1 (Tef-1) Activity From The Solution Structure Of The Tea Domain, Asokan Anbanandam, Diana C Albarado, Catherine T Nguyen, Georg Halder, Xiaolian Gao, Sudha Veeraraghavan

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Transcription enhancer factor 1 is essential for cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle development and uses its N-terminal TEA domain (TEAD) to bind M-CAT elements. Here, we present the first structure of TEAD and show that it is a three-helix bundle with a homeodomain fold. Structural data reveal how TEAD binds DNA. Using structure-function correlations, we find that the L1 loop is essential for cooperative loading of TEAD molecules on to tandemly duplicated M-CAT sites. Furthermore, using a microarray chip-based assay, we establish that known binding sites of the full-length protein are only a subset of DNA elements recognized by TEAD. …

Adolescent Mothers: Youth In Need Of Developmentally Appropriate Services, Patricia Arlyne Zimmerman

Dissertations and Theses

This research examines the childhood abuse and maltreatment experiences of adolescent mothers (age 14 to 17) to investigate if these experiences have hindered their socioemotional development and consequently, their parenting behaviors and attitudes. Data were gathered using four standardized self-report instruments: the Child Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC), the BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory-Youth Version (EQi-YV), and the Adult Adolescent Parenting Inventory (AAPI-2). Two additional questionnaires were developed to gather demographic and social service information to add to the knowledge base of the field, and to examine what (if any) developmentally focused services young mothers may …

Intellectual Property And Competition – Human Economic Universals, Wolfgang Fikentscher

The Gruter Institute Working Papers on Law, Economics, and Evolutionary Biology

My contribution to this workshop is an approach to answering the question whether property, in particular intellectual property, and competition for the acquisition of such property, are innate building blocks of human behavior “deep in our brain” and inherited characteristics of our human nature, or whether they are cultural attitudes and abilities which we have to learn because we are not born with it. In the first case we would call them human universals, in the second cultural specificities. Also, a way has to be shown how we can know the one or the other.

Radioactive Contamination At Dayton Canyon From The Santa Susana Filed Laboratory, Committee To Bridge The Gap, Daniel Hirsch

Committee to Bridge the Gap

"Radioactive Contamination at Dayton Canyon from the Santa Susana Filed Laboratory" was a report that was "deeply flawed" as the result of the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) "misrepresenting the underlying data", as well as "poor protection levels and an a priori assumption that there can't be contamination coming from Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL). It should be rejected."

Correspondence and context for this failed study, and the ways the Committee to Bridge the Gap and its researchers were led astray by aforementioned parties, is documented in detail here.

This research was completed money allocated during Round 6 of …

Soluble Amyloid Oligomers Increase Bilayer Conductance By Altering Dielectric Structure, Yuri Sokolov, J. Ashot Kozak, Rakez Kayed, Alexandr Chanturiya, Charles G. Glabe, James E. Hall

Neuroscience, Cell Biology & Physiology Faculty Publications

The amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer's toxicity has undergone a resurgence with increasing evidence that it is not amyloid fibrils but a smaller oligomeric species that produces the deleterious results. In this paper we address the mechanism of this toxicity. Only oligomers increase the conductance of lipid bilayers and patch-clamped mammalian cells, producing almost identical current-voltage curves in both preparations. Oligomers increase the conductance of the bare bilayer, the cation conductance induced by nonactin, and the anion conductance induced by tetraphenyl borate. Negative charge reduces the sensitivity of the membrane to amyloid, but cholesterol has little effect. In contrast, the area …

Newsgroups Float Into Safe Harbor, And Copyright Holders Are Sunk, Alicia L. Wright

Duke Law & Technology Review

Usenet newsgroups are swiftly becoming a popular vehicle for pirating digital music, movies, books, and other copyrighted works. Meanwhile, courts ignore Usenet’s tremendous potential for copyright infringement. In Ellison v. Robertson, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found that America Online’s Usenet service might qualify for safe harbor under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. According to the district court below, safe harbor would preclude a finding of secondary copyright infringement against America Online. However, the courts misinterpreted the safe harbor provisions. One safe harbor provision was misapplied and another was ignored altogether. This iBrief critiques the Ellison opinions and analyzes …

Graded Interface Models For More Accurate Determination Of Van Der Waals-London Dispersion Interactions Across Grain Boundaries, Roger H. French

Faculty Scholarship

Attractive van der Waals–London dispersion interactions between two half crystals arise from local physical property gradients within the interface layer separating the crystals. Hamaker coefficients and London dispersion energies were quantitatively determined for Σ5 and near-∑13 grain boundaries in SrTiO3 by analysis of spatially resolved valence electron energy-loss spectroscopy (VEELS) data. From the experimental data, local complex dielectric functions were determined, from which optical properties can be locally analyzed. Both local electronic structures and optical properties revealed gradients within the grain boundary cores of both investigated interfaces. The results show that even in the presence of atomically structured grain boundary …

Astronomical Multi-Object Spectroscopy With A Liquid Crystal Turnable Filter, David A. Mcinnis

Theses

Liquid Crystal Tunable Filters are optical devices electronically controlled to alter their passband on demand without involving mechanics. By incorporating such a device into an imaging system, a datacube can be constructed by capturing images while stepping the filter through a series of wavelengths.

In astronomy, continuing improvements in the sensitivity of telescopes and detectors have increased the number of objects available for study far beyond the capabilities of conventional spectroscopic systems to measure them. Instead of collecting spectra a single object at a time, research into multi-object spectroscopy solutions, the ability to examine many objects simultaneously, is the current …
