Predictors Of Perceiving Racism In Ambiguous Situations, Teresa Marino Jan 2006

Predictors Of Perceiving Racism In Ambiguous Situations, Teresa Marino

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The present study used a mixed-experimental analog design to examine 858 undergraduate students' reactions to a scenario depicting a store clerk being mildly rude to a customer. The ethnicity of the clerk and customer were manipulated. Results indicated that participants' beliefs regarding the general prevalence of racism and the degree to which they identify with their respective ethnic group significantly predicted the extent to which they perceived the clerk's behavior as being racially motivated. It also was found that participants' beliefs regarding the general prevalence of racism, levels of cynicism, and attributional style significantly predicted the extent to which they …

The Relationship Between Self-Reported Chronic Stress And Divided Attention Performance, Diane Petrac Jan 2006

The Relationship Between Self-Reported Chronic Stress And Divided Attention Performance, Diane Petrac

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

While previous research has extensively examined the effect of acute stress on cognitive performance, relatively little research has explored the relationship between chronic stress and cognitive performance. The current study aimed to control for current state anxiety to better isolate more chronic stress, when examining the relationship with performance on divided attention tasks. Fifty-four university undergraduates, who self-reported a wide range of perceived chronic stress (10-item Perceived Stress Scale), completed the Trail-Making Test and a dual (auditory and visual) Continuous Performance Test (CPT). Hierarchical regressions were performed to explore cognitive predictors of chronic perceived stress. After covarying for state anxiety …

An Evaluation Of The Effects Of A Leisure Education Curriculum On Deliquents' Motivation, Knowledge, And Behavior Changes Related To Boredom, Paul Finn Jr. Jan 2006

An Evaluation Of The Effects Of A Leisure Education Curriculum On Deliquents' Motivation, Knowledge, And Behavior Changes Related To Boredom, Paul Finn Jr.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Adolescents today have more unsupervised and unstructured free time than ever before. Poor decisions by youth during periods of free time may lead to substance abuse, teen pregnancy and juvenile delinquency. The highest frequency of juvenile crime, a major social problem, occurs during the 2-4 hours following the end of the school day. Research has demonstrated the benefits of engaging adolecents in prosocial leisure activity. However, no research has studied the issues of free time and leisure education with a delinquent population. This paper documents the impact of a leisure education curriculum on a population of delinquent youth in a …

Sarp Net: A Secure, Anonymous, Reputation-Based, Peer-To-Peer Network, Sean Mondesire

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Since the advent of Napster, the idea of peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures being applied to file-sharing applications has become popular, spawning other P2P networks like Gnutella, Morpheus, Kazaa, and BitTorrent. This growth in P2P development has nearly eradicated the idea of the traditional client-server structure in the file-sharing model, now placing emphasizes on faster query processing, deeper levels of decentralism, and methods to protect against copyright law violation. SARP Net is a secure, anonymous, decentralized, P2P overlay network that is designed to protect the activity of its users in its own file-sharing community. It is secure in the fact that public-key …

E-Commerce And Caulerpa: Unregulated Dispersal Of Invasive Species, Linda J. Walters, Katherine R. Brown, Wytze T. Stam, Jeanine L. Olsen

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Professional aquarists and hobbyists are thought to be the source of invasions of the aquarium strain of the green macroalga Caulerpa taxi folia in the Mediterranean, southern California, and Australia. The US Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) restricted interstate commerce and importation of the Mediterranean clone of C taxi folia prior to the California invasion and is currently deciding if it should strengthen regulation of this genus as more species of Caulerpa are being described as invasive. Here we document the importance of e-commerce as a mode of dispersal for many species of Caulerpa in …

Novel Thermostable Y-Family Polymerases: Applications For The Pcr Amplification Of Damaged Or Ancient Dnas, John P. Mcdonald, Ashley Hall, Didier Gasparutto, Jean Cadet, Jack Ballantyne, Roger Woodgate Jan 2006

Novel Thermostable Y-Family Polymerases: Applications For The Pcr Amplification Of Damaged Or Ancient Dnas, John P. Mcdonald, Ashley Hall, Didier Gasparutto, Jean Cadet, Jack Ballantyne, Roger Woodgate

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

For many years, Taq polymerase has served as the stalwart enzyme in the PCR amplification of DNA. However, a major limitation of Taq is its inability to amplify damaged DNA, thereby restricting its usefulness in forensic applications. In contrast, Y-family DNA polymerases, such as Dpo4 from Sulfolobus solfataricus, can traverse a wide variety of DNA lesions. Here, we report the identification and characterization of five novel thermostable Dpo4-like enzymes from Acidianus infernus, Sulfolobus shibatae, Sulfolobus tengchongensis, Stygiolobus azoricus and Sulfurisphaera ohwakuensis, as well as two recombinant chimeras that have enhanced enzymatic properties compared with the naturally occurring polymerases. The Dpo4-like …

Evidence For A Matriptase-Prostasin Proteolytic Cascade Regulating Terminal Epidermal Differentiation, Sarah Netzel-Arnett, Brooke M. Currie, Roman Szabo, Chen-Yong Lin, Li-Mei Chen, Karl X. Chai, Toni M. Antalis, Thomas H. Bugge, Karin List Jan 2006

Evidence For A Matriptase-Prostasin Proteolytic Cascade Regulating Terminal Epidermal Differentiation, Sarah Netzel-Arnett, Brooke M. Currie, Roman Szabo, Chen-Yong Lin, Li-Mei Chen, Karl X. Chai, Toni M. Antalis, Thomas H. Bugge, Karin List

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Recent gene ablation studies in mice have shown that matriptase, a type II transmembrane serine protease, and prostasin, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane serine protease, are both required for processing of the epidermis-specific polyprotein, profilaggrin, stratum corneum formation, and acquisition of epidermal barrier function. Here we present evidence that matriptase acts upstream of prostasin in a zymogen activation cascade that regulates terminal epidermal differentiation and is required for prostasin zymogen activation. Enzymatic gene trapping of matriptase combined with prostasin immunohistochemistry revealed that matriptase was co-localized with prostasin in transitional layer cells of the epidermis and that the developmental onset of expression of …

Managing Fire-Prone Forests In The Western United States, Reed F. Noss, Jerry F. Franklin, William L. Baker, Tania Schoennagel, Peter B. Moyle Jan 2006

Managing Fire-Prone Forests In The Western United States, Reed F. Noss, Jerry F. Franklin, William L. Baker, Tania Schoennagel, Peter B. Moyle

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

The management of fire-prone forests is one of the most controversial natural resource issues in the US today, particularly in the west of the country. Although vegetation and wildlife in these forests are adapted to fire, the historical range of fire frequency and severity was huge. When fire regimes are altered by human activity, major effects on biodiversity and ecosystem function are unavoidable. We review the ecological science relevant to developing and implementing fire and fuel management policies for forests before, during, and after wildfires. Fire exclusion led to major deviations from historical variability in many dry, low-elevation forests, but …

Identification And Characterization Of Rv3281 As A Novel Subunit Of A Biotin-Dependent Acyl-Coa Carboxylase In Mycobacterium Tuberculosis H37rv, Tae-Jin Oh, Jaiyanth Daniel, Hwa-Jung Kim, Tatiana D. Sirakova, Pappachan E. Kolattukudy Jan 2006

Identification And Characterization Of Rv3281 As A Novel Subunit Of A Biotin-Dependent Acyl-Coa Carboxylase In Mycobacterium Tuberculosis H37rv, Tae-Jin Oh, Jaiyanth Daniel, Hwa-Jung Kim, Tatiana D. Sirakova, Pappachan E. Kolattukudy

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Mycobacterium tuberculosis produces a large number of structurally diverse lipids generated from the carboxylation products of acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA. A biotin-dependent acyl-CoA carboxylase was purified from M. tuberculosis H37Rv by avidin affinity chromatography, and the three major protein components were determined by N-terminal sequencing to be the 63-kDa alpha 3-subunit (AccA3, Rv3285), the 59-kDa beta 5-subunit (AccD5, Rv3280), and the 56-kDa beta 4-subunit (AccD4, Rv3799). A minor protein of about 24 kDa that co-purified with the above subunits was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry to be the product of Rv3281 that is located immediately downstream of …

The Cholera Toxin A1(3) Subdomain Is Essential For Interaction With Adp-Ribosylation Factor 6 And Full Toxic Activity But Is Not Required For Translocation From The Endoplasmic Reticulum To The Cytosol, Ken Teter, Michael G. Jobling, Danielle Sentz, Randall K. Holmes Jan 2006

The Cholera Toxin A1(3) Subdomain Is Essential For Interaction With Adp-Ribosylation Factor 6 And Full Toxic Activity But Is Not Required For Translocation From The Endoplasmic Reticulum To The Cytosol, Ken Teter, Michael G. Jobling, Danielle Sentz, Randall K. Holmes

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Cholera toxin (CT) moves from the plasma membrane to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by retrograde vesicular traffic. In the ER, the catalytic CTA1 polypeptide dissociates from the rest of the toxin and enters the cytosol by a process that involves the quality control mechanism of ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The cytosolic CTA1 then ADP ribosylates Gs alpha, resulting in adenylate cyclase activation and intoxication of the target cell. It is hypothesized that the C-terminal A1(3) subdomain of CTA1 plays two crucial roles in the. p intoxication process: (i) it contains a hydrophobic domain that triggers the ERAD mechanism and (ii) it …

Whole-Genome Plasticity Among Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies: Insights From Comparative Genomic Hybridizations, Chia-Wei Wu, Jeremy Glasner, Michael Collins, Saleh Naser, Adel M. Talaat

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Infection with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis causes Johne's disease in cattle and is also implicated in cases of Crohn's disease in humans. Another closely related strain, M. avium subsp. avium, is a health problem for immunocompromised patients. To understand the molecular pathogenesis of M. avium subspecies, we analyzed the genome contents of isolates collected from humans and domesticated or wildlife animals. Comparative genomic hybridizations indicated distinct lineages for each subspecies where the closest genomic relatedness existed between M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis isolates collected from human and clinical cow samples. Genomic islands (n = 24) comprising 846 kb were present in …

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Collapsin response mediator protein 1 ( CRMP1) is one of the CRMP family members that mediates signal transduction of axon guidance molecules. Here, we show evidence that CRMP1 is involved in Reelin ( Reln) signaling to regulate neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex. In crmp1(-/-) mice, radial migration of cortical neurons was retarded. This phenotype was not observed in the sema3A(-/-) and crmp1(+/+); sema3A(+/+) cortices. However, CRMP1 was colocalized with disabled- 1 ( Dab1), an adaptor protein in Reln signaling. In the Reln(rl/rl) cortex, CRMP1 and Dab1 were expressed at a higher level, yet tyrosine phosphorylated at a lower level. …

Characterization Of The Ifn-Gamma T-Cell Responses To Immediate Early Antigens In Humans With Genital Herpes, Ralph P. Braun, Lendon G. Payne, Lichun Dong

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Background: The IFN-gamma ELISPOT assay has been used to examine the T-cell repertoire for many disease states in humans but, as yet, not genital herpes. Using overlapping synthetic peptide libraries, an IFN-gamma ELISPOT assay was established that could measure CD4 and CD8 T-cell responses to HSV-2 antigens in patients with genital herpes. Results: In unexpanded T-cells isolated from peripheral blood, CD4 responses were readily measured against four immediate early antigens (ICP0, ICP4, ICP22 and ICP27), VP22 and gD. The CD4 responses were characterized by a low number of positive cells which produced large ELISPOTs. CD4 responses had a broad specificity …

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

The physiology and transcriptome dynamics of the metal ion-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1 in response to nonradioactive strontium (Sr) exposure were investigated. Studies indicated that MR-1 was able to grow aerobically in complex medium in the presence of 180 mM SrCl2, but showed severe growth inhibition at levels above that concentration. Temporal gene expression profiles were generated from aerobically grown, mid-exponential-phase MR-1 cells shocked with 180 mM SrCl2, and analyzed for significant differences in mRNA abundance with reference to data for nonstressed MR-1 cells. Genes with annotated functions in siderophore biosynthesis and iron transport were among the most highly …

Structural Health Monitoring Of Bridges For Improving Transportation Security, F. Necati Catbas, Melih Susoy, Naim Kapucu

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a promising technology for determining the condition of significant transportation structures objectively for efficient management and preservation of transportation assets. In addition to identifying, locating, and quantifying damage and deterioration due to effects of operation, aging, and natural hazards, the need for taking terrorism-related hazards into account has become evident after 9/11 terrorist attacks. Key transportation facilities like major bridges were identified by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as possible terrorist targets since their loss or even temporary deficiency could lead to major impacts on economy and mobility. Several governmental, local, and private organizations have …

Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein-4 Regulates Calcium Homeostasis And Sensitivity To Store Depletion-Induced Apoptosis In Neural Cells, Sic. L. Chan, Dong Liu, George A. Kyriazis, Pamela Bagisyao, Xin Ouyang, Mark P. Mattson Jan 2006

Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein-4 Regulates Calcium Homeostasis And Sensitivity To Store Depletion-Induced Apoptosis In Neural Cells, Sic. L. Chan, Dong Liu, George A. Kyriazis, Pamela Bagisyao, Xin Ouyang, Mark P. Mattson

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

An increase in the cytoplasmic-free Ca2+ concentration mediates cellular responses to environmental signals that influence a range of processes, including gene expression, motility, secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters, changes in energy metabolism, and apoptosis. Mitochondria play important roles in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis and signaling, but the roles of specific mitochondrial proteins in these processes are unknown. Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are a family of proteins located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that can dissociate oxidative phosphorylation from respiration, thereby promoting heat production and decreasing oxyradical production. Here we show that UCP4, a neuronal UCP, influences store-operated Ca2+ entry, a process in …

A Novel Lipase Belonging To The Hormone-Sensitive Lipase Family Induced Under Starvation To Utilize Stored Triacylglycerol In Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, Chirajyoti Deb, Jaiyanth Daniel, Tatiana D. Sirakova, Bassam Abomoelak, Vindod S. Dubey, Pappachan E. Kolattukudy

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Twenty-four putative lipase/esterase genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv were expressed in Escherichia coli and assayed for long-chain triacylglycerol (TG) hydrolase activity. We show here that the product of Rv3097c (LIPY) hydrolyzed long-chain TG with high specific activity. LIPY was purified after solubilization from inclusion bodies; the enzyme displayed a K-m of 7.57 mM and V-max of 653.3 nmol/mg/min for triolein with optimal activity between pH 8.0 and pH 9.0. LIPY was inhibited by active serine-directed reagents and was inactivated at temperatures above 37 degrees C. Detergents above their critical micellar concentrations and divalent cations inhibited the activity of LIPY. The …

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Retrocyclin-1, a 0-defensin, protects target cells from human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) by preventing viral entry. To delineate its mechanism, we conducted fusion assays between susceptible target cells and effector cells that expressed HIV-1 Env. Retrocyclin-1 (4 mu M) completely blocked fusion mediated by HIV-1 Envs that used CXCR4 or CCR5 but had little effect on cell fusion mediated by HIV-2 and simian immunodeficiency virus Envs. Retrocyclin-1 inhibited HIV-1 Env-mediated fusion without impairing the lateral mobility of CD4, and it inhibited the fusion of CD4-deficient cells with cells bearing CD4-independent HIV-1 Env. Thus, it could act without cross-linking membrane …

Analysis Of Proline Reduction In The Nosocomial Pathogen Clostridium Difficile, Sarah Jackson, Mary Calos, Andrew Myers, William T. Self Jan 2006

Analysis Of Proline Reduction In The Nosocomial Pathogen Clostridium Difficile, Sarah Jackson, Mary Calos, Andrew Myers, William T. Self

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Clostridium difficile, a proteolytic strict anaerobe, has emerged as a clinically significant nosocomial pathogen in recent years. Pathogenesis is due to the production of lethal toxins, A and B, members of the large clostridial cytotoxin family. Although it has been established that alterations in the amino acid content of the growth medium affect toxin production, the molecular mechanism for this observed effect is not yet known. Since there is a paucity of information on the amino acid fermentation pathways used by this pathogen, we investigated whether Stickland reactions might be at the heart of its bioenergetic pathways. Growth of C …

Transparency In Financial Markets And Institutions: A Catholic Social Thought Perspecitve, Bridget Lyons, Lucjan T. Orlowski Jan 2006

Transparency In Financial Markets And Institutions: A Catholic Social Thought Perspecitve, Bridget Lyons, Lucjan T. Orlowski

Presidential Seminar on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition

We argue that transparency, or information disclosure by public and private sector institutions should be viewed as an important component of the Catholic Social Thought process. A higher degree of transparency by a single institution denotes revealing a greater magnitude of truthful information that leads to optimization of actions by other individuals and institutions, thus ultimately, to maximization of social welfare. Based on the precepts of Catholic Social Thought, more detailed and unbiased information allows individuals to make more truthful observations of reality that subsequently rationalize their judgment and actions. This is particularly relevant for financial markets and institutions that …

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Of The Brain In Children With Chronic Kernicterus, Mehmet H. Atalar, Derya Buyakayhan, Dilara Icagosioglu

Neurosciences

Advances in perinatal monitoring and early treatment for hyperbilirubinemia in high-risk patients have greatly reduced the incidence of kernicterus. Findings on MRI in patients with kernicterus are characteristic. The most characteristic pattern of neuropathological lesions in kernicterus is symmetric and highly selective involvement of the basal ganglia. In this study, we report the MRI findings in 2 infants with clinical and laboratory evidence of kernicterus.

The New Commerce Clause Doctrine In Game Theoretical Perspective, Maxwell L. Stearns Jan 2006

The New Commerce Clause Doctrine In Game Theoretical Perspective, Maxwell L. Stearns

Faculty Scholarship

The Roberts Court emerges at a critical juncture in the development of Commerce Clause doctrine. While the Commerce Clause doctrine implicates concerns for federalism and separation of powers, both of which are rooted in the earliest part of our constitutional history, the new Court presents an ideal opportunity to critically assess existing doctrines and to develop new analytical paradigms. The Rehnquist Court succeeded for the first time in sixty years in imposing substantive limits on the scope of this important source of Congressional power. That Court proved far less successful, however, in developing a coherent normative theory that reconciles the …
