Small-Ruminant Lentivirus Enhances PrpSc Accumulation In Cultured Sheep Microglial Cells, James B. Stanton, Donald P. Knowles, Katherine I. O'Rourke, Lynn M. Herrmann-Hoesing, Bruce A. Mathison, Timothy V. Baszler

Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease: Publications

Sheep scrapie is the prototypical transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (prion disease), which has a fundamental pathogenesis involving conversion of normal cellular prion protein (PrPC [C superscript stands for cellular]) to disease-associated prion protein (PrPSc [Sc superscript stands for sheep scrapie]). Sheep microglial cell cultures, derived from a prnp 136VV/171QQ near-term fetal brain, were developed to study sheep scrapie in the natural host and to investigate potential cofactors in the prion conversion process. Two culture systems, a primary cell culture and a cell line transformed with the large T antigen of simian virus 40, were developed, and both were identified …

Estimating The Efficacy Of Drc-1339-Treated Rice Bait In Blackbird Staging Areas In North Dakota Using A Bioenergetics Simulation, Randal S. Stahl, John J. Johnston, George M. Linz Jan 2008

Estimating The Efficacy Of Drc-1339-Treated Rice Bait In Blackbird Staging Areas In North Dakota Using A Bioenergetics Simulation, Randal S. Stahl, John J. Johnston, George M. Linz

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

DRC-1339 is a pesticide used to induce mortality in pest birds and is being used successfully to reduce bird damage to a variety of agricultural products. The feasibility of using live decoy traps baited with DRC-1339-treated rice baits is being evaluated for reducing blackbird damage to sunflower in North Dakota. To estimate the take associated with the use of the DRC-1339-treated rice baits, we developed a bioenergetics simulation to estimate bait consumption by red-winged blackbirds, yellow-headed blackbirds and common grackles. This simulation incorporates a module to estimate mortality based on the amount of treated bait eaten by individual birds and …


Food Color, Flavor, And Conditioned Avoidance Among Red-Winged Blackbirds, Scott J. Werner, Bruce A. Kimball, Frederick D. Provenza Jan 2008

Food Color, Flavor, And Conditioned Avoidance Among Red-Winged Blackbirds, Scott J. Werner, Bruce A. Kimball, Frederick D. Provenza

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

The relationship between food flavors and postingestive feedback enables mammalian herbivores to procure nutrients and avoid toxins within ever-changing environments. We conducted four experiments with red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) in captivity to determine the relative roles of color and flavor cues paired with negative postingestive feedback. We first conducted baseline tests to assess preferences for colors and flavors. All blackbirds preferred red- to blue-colored food, and they preferred umami- (L-alanine) flavored to bitter/astringent food (tannic acid). We observed no difference in consumption of salty (NaCl) vs sour (citric acid) foods during baseline tests (i.e., neutral flavors). We then …


Transgenic Nonhuman Mammals Producing Fibrinogen In Milkand Methods Of Producing Fibrin, William H. Velander, William N. Drohan, Henryk Lubon, John L. Johnson Jan 2008

Transgenic Nonhuman Mammals Producing Fibrinogen In Milkand Methods Of Producing Fibrin, William H. Velander, William N. Drohan, Henryk Lubon, John L. Johnson

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Faculty Publications

A transgenic, non-human mammalian animal is capable of expressing a heterologous gene for human or other recombinant physiologically functional fibrinogen holoprotein or individual subunit chain polypeptides thereofora modified or fusion fibrinogen in mammary glands of the animals and secreting the expressed product into a body fluid. Methodol ogy employing such a mammal yields recombinant physiologically functional fibrinogens, subunit chain polypeptides thereof, and modified or fusion fibrinogens.

A Study Of Innovation In Collegiate Business Education, Clair Don St.

Theses and Dissertations

Innovation and the creation of innovative organizations have become increasingly important in virtually every professional endeavor. The pressure to create new products and services, new business processes, and new approaches to solving old problems is immense. This study explores the dynamics of innovation in accredited schools of business, focusing upon sources of innovation, systems to support innovation, and obstacles to innovation. For the purposes of the study, innovation was defined in the broadest term. The concept of business concept innovation, innovation in any phase of a business model, serves as the foundation for defining innovation. Relatively little study has been …


Leadership Skills Development In Theological Seminary: Crucial Factors In Creating Effective Local Church Leadership, Nghia Van Nguyen Jan 2008

Leadership Skills Development In Theological Seminary: Crucial Factors In Creating Effective Local Church Leadership, Nghia Van Nguyen

Theses and Dissertations

Leadership is a challenge for almost every organization. Like everyone else, the church is faced with similar challenges. Being leaders of the local congregation, pastors are the key element in church leadership. Church members are demanding more of their pastors than ever. Many pastors feel ill-prepared for these tasks. The theological seminary has been the primary place to prepare church leaders to do ministry. Previous researchers have stated that there is compelling evidence that many theological seminaries were not appropriately preparing men and women for the job the local congregation expects them to do for the church. The purpose of …


A Content Analysis Of Client Hope In Psychotherapy Sessions, Stacie Lyn Cooper Jan 2008

A Content Analysis Of Client Hope In Psychotherapy Sessions, Stacie Lyn Cooper

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to understand the role of hope and how it was expressed by diverse clients in the initial sessions of individual psychotherapy. Five adult clients representing a range of ages, gender, ethnicities, religious/spiritual orientations, and presenting issues were observed in archival videotapes of their 3rd or 5th psychotherapy sessions at two southern California community counseling clinics. Content analysis revealed that client expression of hopefulness during these sessions varied in quantity and quality. Using a modified version of the CHANGE (Change and Growth Experiences Scale; Hayes & Feldman, 2005), the average scores among the 5 participants …


Socializing Youth For Adult Citizenship Roles: The Youth Citizenship Seminar, Melvin L. Musick Jan 2008

Socializing Youth For Adult Citizenship Roles: The Youth Citizenship Seminar, Melvin L. Musick

Theses and Dissertations

This study reports the results of an online questionnaire administered to a sample of adults who participated in a weeklong youth citizenship seminar at a private Christian university between 1986 and 2006. Using constructs put forth by Westheimer & Kahne (2004a), the study finds that former seminar participants demonstrate noteworthy levels of personally responsible and participatory citizenship, but less involvement in justiceoriented citizenship activities. Voting by respondents who were exposed to political issues or discussions held in their home was significant at the <0.05 level. Voting by respondents whose parents were active politically was significant at the <0.01 level. The study is responsive to concerns regarding effective strategies for increasing the probability of adolescents becoming involved citizens as adults. The study also informs the discussion on the developmental roots of civic involvement, and further elaborates the link between adolescent involvement in youth programs and adult civic behavior.
