Desiccation Survival In An Antarctic Nematode: Molecular Analysis Using Expressed Sequenced Tags, Byron J. Adams, Bishwo N. Adhikari, Diana H. Wall Feb 2009

Desiccation Survival In An Antarctic Nematode: Molecular Analysis Using Expressed Sequenced Tags, Byron J. Adams, Bishwo N. Adhikari, Diana H. Wall

Faculty Publications

Background: Nematodes are the dominant soil animals in Antarctic Dry Valleys and are capable of surviving desiccation and freezing in an anhydrobiotic state. Genes induced by desiccation stress have been successfully enumerated in nematodes; however we have little knowledge of gene regulation by Antarctic nematodes which can survive multiple environmental stresses. To address this problem we investigated the genetic responses of a nematode species, Plectus murrayi, that is capable of tolerating Antarctic environmental extremes, in particular desiccation and freezing. In this study, we provide the first insight into the desiccation induced transcriptome of an Antarctic nematode through cDNA library construction …

Not Just Key Numbers And Keywords Anymore: How User Interface Design Affects Legal Research, Julie M. Jones Feb 2009

Not Just Key Numbers And Keywords Anymore: How User Interface Design Affects Legal Research, Julie M. Jones

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Legal research is one of the foundational skills for the practice of law. Yet law school graduates are frequently admitted to the bar without adequate competence in this area. Applying both information-foraging theory and current standards for optimal web design, Ms. Jones considers, through a heuristic analysis, whether the user interfaces of Westlaw and LexisNexis help or hinder the process of legal research and the development of effective research skills.

Imaging Radiation Pneumonitis In A Rat Model Of A Radiological Terrorism Incident, Robert C. Molthen, Qingping Wu, Gary S. Krenz, Meetha Medhora, Elizabeth R. Jacobs, John E. Moulder Feb 2009

Imaging Radiation Pneumonitis In A Rat Model Of A Radiological Terrorism Incident, Robert C. Molthen, Qingping Wu, Gary S. Krenz, Meetha Medhora, Elizabeth R. Jacobs, John E. Moulder

Biomedical Engineering Faculty Research and Publications

We have developed a rat model of single, sub-lethal thoracic irradiation. Our irradiation protocol is considered representative of exposures near the detonation site of a dirty bomb or small nuclear device. The model is being used to investigate techniques for identifying, triaging and treating possible victims. In addition to physiological markers of right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary vascular resistance, and arterial distensibility, we present two methods for quantifying microvascular density. We used methods including microfocal X-ray imaging to investigate changes in lung structure/function resulting from radiation exposure. Radiation pneumonitis is a complication in subjects receiving thoracic irradiation. A radiographic hallmark of …


Effectiveness Of Library Resources In The Libraries Of Agricultural Research Institutes In Nigeria, Lily Oluebube Ezeala Feb 2009

Effectiveness Of Library Resources In The Libraries Of Agricultural Research Institutes In Nigeria, Lily Oluebube Ezeala

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This study used surveyed 340 researchers from all the 14 agricultural research institutes in Nigeria. The response rate was 73.5%. The research objective was assess the effectiveness of agricultural research institute libraries. The study revealed that library resources and services are inadequate, largely due to underfunding by parent institutions.

Induction Of Microrna-221 By Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Signaling Is Critical For Modulation Of Vascular Smooth Muscle Phenotype, Brandi N. Davis, Aaron C. Hilyard, Peter H. Nguyen, Giorgio Lagna, Akiko Hata Feb 2009

Induction Of Microrna-221 By Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Signaling Is Critical For Modulation Of Vascular Smooth Muscle Phenotype, Brandi N. Davis, Aaron C. Hilyard, Peter H. Nguyen, Giorgio Lagna, Akiko Hata

Biology

The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling pathway is a critical regulator of animal development and homeostasis. Activation of the PDGF pathway leads to neointimal proliferative responses to artery injury; it promotes a switch of vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMC) to a less contractile phenotype by inhibiting the SMC-specific gene expression and increasing the rate of proliferation and migration. The molecular mechanism for these pleiotropic effects of PDGFs has not been fully described. Here, we identify the microRNA-221 (miR-221), a small noncoding RNA, as a modulator of the phenotypic change of vSMCs in response to PDGF signaling. We demonstrate that miR-221 …

Effects Of Soldier-Derived Terpenes On Soldier Caste Differentiation In The Termite (Reticulitermes Flavipes), Matthew R. Tarver, Erica A. Schmelz, James R. Rocca, Michael E. Scharf Feb 2009

Effects Of Soldier-Derived Terpenes On Soldier Caste Differentiation In The Termite (Reticulitermes Flavipes), Matthew R. Tarver, Erica A. Schmelz, James R. Rocca, Michael E. Scharf

Department of Entomology Faculty Publications

Primer pheromones play key roles in regulating division of labor, which is one of the most fundamental and defining aspects of insect sociality. Primer pheromones are chemical messengers that transmit hormone-like messages among colony members; in recipients these messages can either induce or suppress phenotypic caste differentiation. Here, we investigated soldier-caste-derived chemicals as possible primer pheromones in the lower termite Reticulitermes flavipes, a species for which no primer pheromones have yet been identified. We determined that soldier head extracts (SHE), when provided to totipotent workers along with the insect morphogenetic juvenile hormone (JH), significantly enhanced soldier caste differentiation. When …

The Voice: 2001-2011

In this edition of the Voice, economic circumstances force Kittredge dining hall to close temporarily. The college gossip and social media website “JuicyCampus.com,” that allowed students to anonymously post about individuals on their campus, shuts down. Wooster Student Government Association (SGA) throws a red carpet Oscars night, with campus celebrities such as President Grant Cornwall and Dean of Students Kurt Holmes. The Men of Harambee sponsored the second annual “Council of Elders” panel discussion. A student drawn comic parodies the MasterCard “Priceless” ad campaign. Additionally, a story talks about one students window art in Lowry dining hall.

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) has been extensively utilized as a viral vector system for the induction of protective immune responses against a variety of pathogens. We constructed recombinant VSVs specifying either the Indiana or Chandipura virus G glycoprotein and expressing the West Nile virus (WNV) envelope (E) glycoprotein. Mice were intranasally vaccinated using a prime (Indiana)-boost (Chandipura) immunization approach and challenged with the virulent WNV-LSU-AR01. Ninety-percent (9 of 10) of the vaccinated mice survived as compared to 10% of the mock-vaccinated mice after WNV lethal challenge. Histopathological examination of brain tissues revealed neuronal necrosis in mock-vaccinated mice but not in …
