The Structure And Function Of Frataxin, Krisztina Z. Bencze, Kalyan C. Kondapalli, Jeremy D. Cook, Stephen Mcmahon, César Millán-Pacheco, Nina Pastor, Timothy L. Stemmler Oct 2006

The Structure And Function Of Frataxin, Krisztina Z. Bencze, Kalyan C. Kondapalli, Jeremy D. Cook, Stephen Mcmahon, César Millán-Pacheco, Nina Pastor, Timothy L. Stemmler

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Faculty Publications

Frataxin, a highly conserved protein found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, is required for efficient regulation of cellular iron homeostasis. Humans with a frataxin deficiency have the cardio- and neurodegenerative disorder Friedreich’s ataxia, commonly resulting from a GAA trinucleotide repeat expansion in the frataxin gene. While frataxin’s specific function remains a point of controversy, a general consensus is the protein assists in controlling cellular iron homeostasis by directly binding iron. This review focuses on the structural and biochemical aspects of iron binding by the frataxin orthologs and outlines molecular attributes that may help explain the protein’s role in different cellular pathways.

Experimental Investigation Of The Effects Of Background Traffic Loads On Streamed Video Over 802.11b Wlans, Tanmoy Debnath, Nicola Cranley, Mark Davis Oct 2006

Experimental Investigation Of The Effects Of Background Traffic Loads On Streamed Video Over 802.11b Wlans, Tanmoy Debnath, Nicola Cranley, Mark Davis

Conference papers

Video is a frame based media and video streaming is often described as “bursty” which has a large impact on the Quality of Service of the video streaming application over WLAN networks. In this paper the impact of background load on the performance of streaming MPEG-4 video with a video server located on the wired network streaming to wireless client is analysed. We experimentally investigate the performance for both uplink and downlink loads. The performance is measured in terms of the key parameters of bit rate, loss rate and mean delay since these are the primary factors that affect the …

On Disposable People And Human Well-Being: Health, Money And Power, Berta E. Hernández-Truyol Oct 2006

On Disposable People And Human Well-Being: Health, Money And Power, Berta E. Hernández-Truyol

UF Law Faculty Publications

The foundational premise of this essay is that health and well-being are human rights issues. My focus on this theme, specifically within the human rights paradigm, is new, passionate, and personal. On December 15, 2005, just three months before the conference that prompted the writing of this essay, I lost my partner of over 20 years. She fought a valiant, strong, and dignified fight against cancer--a journey I traveled with her. During that time I learned much about health systems and health care. Most saliently, notwithstanding the reality of the extraordinarily good care she ultimately received, I realized there is …

Caregivers In The Courtroom: The Growing Trend Of Family Responsibilities Discrimination, Joan C. Williams, Stephanie Bornstein Oct 2006

Caregivers In The Courtroom: The Growing Trend Of Family Responsibilities Discrimination, Joan C. Williams, Stephanie Bornstein

UF Law Faculty Publications

When people think of sex discrimination, they tend to think of glass-ceiling discrimination and sexual harassment. This article describes and documents a rapidly expanding area of employment discrimination law: family responsibilities discrimination, or "FRD." FRD is employment discrimination against people based on their caregiving responsibilities, whether for children, elderly parents, or ill partners. FRD includes both "maternal wall" discrimination -- the equivalent of the glass ceiling for mothers -- and discrimination against men who participate in childcare or provide care for other family members.

Malaysia In The Global Economy: Crisis, Recovery, And The Road Ahead, Daniel E. Charette Oct 2006

Malaysia In The Global Economy: Crisis, Recovery, And The Road Ahead, Daniel E. Charette

New England Journal of Public Policy

This article offers an analysis of contemporary economic development in Malaysia, focusing especially on the causes and consequences of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. Malaysia offers an excellent case study in international development due to its role as an export-dependent developing country with a high degree of integration in the global economy. In attempting to determine why Malaysia was enveloped by a financial crisis in July of 1997, a two-level political economy approach is used to separate international policy influences from domestic influences. My findings suggest that a combination of ill-advised, full capital account liberalization (Washington Consensus / international influence) …

University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review

A key feature of an effective copyright system is to provide protection against infringement that is consistent with a copyright's goal: to "promote . . . useful Arts." Thus, for the overall public good, it is vital to achieve a proper balance between protecting authors' works as an incentive to create and the public's interest in accessing both creative works and new technology. The outcome of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. (Grosker III) and the resulting business and legal developments created ambiguity and doubt regarding potential liability in the copyright system that is having a deleterious effect on technical …

Keynote Address: Secret Evidence In The Age Of National Security, Adam Liptak

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

U.S. Sentencing Guidelines And Export Control Laws: How To Equate A Credit Card Transaction With A Violation Of National Security Controls Or Selling 400 Grams Of Heroin, J. Triplett Mackintosh, Danielle R. Voorhees Oct 2006

U.S. Sentencing Guidelines And Export Control Laws: How To Equate A Credit Card Transaction With A Violation Of National Security Controls Or Selling 400 Grams Of Heroin, J. Triplett Mackintosh, Danielle R. Voorhees

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article critiques the application of section 2M5.1 of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines (USSG) to criminal violations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) regulations, arguing that such application is overly broad and misaligned with the severity of offenses. It contends that treating minor transactions with embargoed countries as equivalent to national security threats or terrorism support is inappropriate, as these regulations often involve malum prohibitum offenses that are not inherently malicious.

School Discipline 101: Students' Due Process Rights In Expulsion Hearings, Melissa Frydman, Shani M. King Oct 2006

School Discipline 101: Students' Due Process Rights In Expulsion Hearings, Melissa Frydman, Shani M. King

UF Law Faculty Publications

Upholding the principle that school districts, as state actors, shall not deprive a student of liberty or property without due process of law, courts have expanded for more than four decades the Fourteenth Amendment's due process protection of public school students. Understanding this principle is essential to representing children in school discipline proceedings. Before presenting a practical guide to representing students in these proceedings, we offer a brief history of due process protection for children.

A Measurement Of The Top Quark Mass With A Matrix Element Method, Adam Paul Gibson '96 Oct 2006

A Measurement Of The Top Quark Mass With A Matrix Element Method, Adam Paul Gibson '96

Doctoral Dissertations

We present a measurement of the mass of the top quark. Our event sample is selected from proton-antiproton collisions, at 1.96 TeV center-of-mass energy, observed with the CDF detector at Fermilab's Tevatron. We consider a 318 pb-1 dataset collected between March 2002 and August 2004. We select events that contain one energetic lepton, large missing transverse energy, exactly four energetic jets, and at least one displaced vertex b tag. Our analysis uses leading-order tt and background matrix elements along with parameterized parton showering to construct event-by-event likelihoods as a function of top quark mass. From the 63 events observed …
