James Hevia On Summer Palace Relics

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

With disputes relating to looted Chinese objects in the news, we asked Professor James Hevia of the University of Chicago, author of an important book called English Lessons, which includes analysis of foreign military actions in China from the 1860s through the post-Boxer occupation of 1900-1901 and was cited in our earlier post on the topic, if he had any thoughts on the subject to share with our readers. Already quoted briefly in a useful Christian Science Monitor article on the issue, here’s what he had wrote in response to our query:

The recent announcement by Christie’s of yet another …

In Case You Missed It: Passion Of The Mao, Jeremiah Jenne

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

Passion of the Mao is the quirky documentary produced by Lee Feigon based on his book Mao: A Reinterpretation. There’s some things to like about the film. I appreciated the irreverence, and there were a number of chuckle-worthy jokes and sly references as well as several precipitous descents into banal toilet and body humor. (Some of which, for awhile, are also pretty chuckle-worthy.) Mao’s writings are referenced throughout the film, though Mr. Feigon’s choice to have them read using a voiceover that recalled the worst of the Fu Manchu films from early Hollywood is odd. Mr. Feigon also gives prominence …

Functional Analysis Of Ccm3: A Gene Contributing To Cerebral Cavernous Malformations, Ryan Matthew Hebert

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are a group of homogenous lesions in the brain, spinal cord and retina that consist of focal sinusoidal dilatations of vasculature which can lead to devastating life-altering and/or life-ending events such as seizure and hemorrhagic stroke. CCM exhibit compromised blood brain barrier due to perturbed endothelial cell to endothelial cell tight junctions, resulting in chronic hemorrhage. Linkage analysis has led to the identification of three loci which segregate to familial CCM (CCM1, CCM2 and CCM3). Previous studies have identified PDCD10 as the gene responsible for CCM3. Recent in vitro data have implicated PDCD10 in apoptosis and …

Right Hemispheric Contributions To Fine Auditory Temporal Discriminations: High-Density Electrical Mapping Of The Duration Mismatch Negativity (Mmn), Pierfilippo De Sanctis, Sophie Molholm, Marina Shpaner, Walter Ritter, John J. Foxe

Publications and Research

That language processing is primarily a function of the left hemisphere has led to the supposition that auditory temporal discrimination is particularly well-tuned in the left hemisphere, since speech discrimination is thought to rely heavily on the registration of temporal transitions. However, physiological data have not consistently supported this view. Rather, functional imaging studies often show equally strong, if not stronger, contributions from the right hemisphere during temporal processing tasks, suggesting a more complex underlying neural substrate. The mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the human auditory evoked-potential provides a sensitive metric of duration processing in human auditory cortex and lateralization …

Physiologic Effect Of Relaxation Therapies On Autonomic Tone Early After Acute Coronary Syndromes, Rachel Summer Claire Friedman

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Post-MI patients are at increased risk of arrhythmic sudden death. Stress and sympathetic activation are known to influence arrhythmogenesis. While relaxation therapies improve psychological well-being in multiple medical illnesses, whether these therapies can positively influence sympathovagal balance in the post-MI population is unknown. We explored the physiologic effects of Reiki, a light-touch relaxation therapy, and music on post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) inpatients, using heart rate variability (HRV) to assess changes in cardiac autonomic function during treatment. Forty-eight patients with ACS within the last 72 hours were randomized to received a single 20-minute session of either Reiki, classical music, or a …

Automated Knowledge Generation With Persistent Surveillance Video, Daniel T. Schmitt

Theses and Dissertations

The Air Force has increasingly invested in persistent surveillance platforms gathering a large amount of surveillance video. Ordinarily, intelligence analysts watch the video to determine if suspicious activities are occurring. This approach to video analysis can be a very time and manpower intensive process. Instead, this thesis proposes that by using tracks generated from persistent video, we can build a model to detect events for an intelligence analyst. The event that we chose to detect was a suspicious surveillance activity known as a casing event. To test our model we used Global Positioning System (GPS) tracks generated from vehicles driving …

The Role Of Neuroinflammation In Regulating The Age-Related Decline In Neurogenesis, Adam D. Bachstetter

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Adult neurogenesis, is a lifelong process by which relatively few cells are added into two restricted regions of the brain. Integration of the cells into the existing neuronal circulatory, with the unique properties involved in the maturation of these cells, is possibly critical to the acquisition and retrieval of new memories. With the chronological aging of the organism a process of cellular senescence occurs throughout the body; a portion of which is independent of primary alterations to the stem cells; instead, it appears to be dependent on the environment where the cells reside, and is in part regulated by inflammation. …

Incidence Of Salmonella On Reptiles In The Pet Trade, Casey R. Cain, Drew Tyre, Dennis Ferraro

RURALS: Review of Undergraduate Research in Agricultural and Life Sciences

Reptiles are very common carriers of Salmonella and can be infected without showing any symptoms. Humans can contract reptile-associated Salmonellosis (RAS) by handling a Salmonella-infected reptile or any object contaminated by a Salmonella-infected reptile then failing to properly wash their hands, or by allowing reptiles to contaminate areas of food preparation.

This study tested reptiles for Salmonella in four Nebraska pet shops in March of 2007 to estimate the prevalence of Salmonella in captive reptiles in Nebraska. Of 80 pet reptiles tested, 53.8% (43) yielded Salmonella, which is much higher than the 6.6% (12 of 182) prevalence of Salmonella in …
