Analisis Kapasitas Perikanan Dengan Pendekatan Data Envelopment Analysis (Dea) Di Perairan Utara Gorontalo, Abdul Hafidz Olii

Jurnal Ekonomi dan Pembangunan Indonesia

Fishing capacity is ability of fishery input (boat) used in output production (catch), it measured by using fishing unit or other fishing gear production. In simple way, fishing capacity is an ability of fishing boat (with all aspects) to capture fish. This ability will depend on the fish stock to be captured (seasonally or yearly) and the ability of the fishing gear itself. The aims of this research are to analyze technical efficiency and capacity of capture fishery in between years, of fishing gear and of purse seine. Research location was in the northern water of Gorontalo. Data was analyzed …

No Evolutionary Response To Four Generations Of Laboratory Selection On Antipredator Behavior Of Aedes Albopictus: Potential Implications For Biotic Resistance To Invasion, Banugopan Kesavaraju, Steven A. Juliano

Faculty Publications – Biological Sciences

Aedes albopictus (Skuse) is an invasive container-dwelling mosquito and an important disease vector that co-occurs with the native mosquito, Aedes triseriatus (Say), and the predatory midge, Corethrella appandiculata (Grabham). Larval Ae. triseriatus show significantly greater antipredatory responses when compared to larval Ae. albopictus in the presence of predation cues from C. appendiculata. The potential for evolution of antipredatory behavioral responses to C. appendiculata in Ae. albopictus is unknown. We used a controlled laboratory selection experiment to test whether Ae. albopictus could evolve antipredatory behavioral responses to C. appendiculata predation. We subjected replicate Ae. albopictus populations to four generations of predation …

The Cellulose Synthase Superfamily In Fully Sequenced Plants And Algae, Yanbin Yin, Jinling Huang, Ying Xu

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

Background: The cellulose synthase superfamily has been classified into nine cellulose synthaselike (Csl) families and one cellulose synthase (CesA) family. The Csl families have been proposed to be involved in the synthesis of the backbones of hemicelluloses of plant cell walls. With 17 plant and algal genomes fully sequenced, we sought to conduct a genome-wide and systematic investigation of this superfamily through in-depth phylogenetic analyses. Results: A single-copy gene is found in the six chlorophyte green algae, which is most closely related to the CslA and CslC families that are present in the seven land plants investigated in our analyses. …

Developmental Emergence Of Power-Law Wake Behavior Depends Upon The Functional Integrity Of The Locus Coeruleus, Andrew J. Gall, Badal Joshi, Janet Best, Virginia R. Florang, Jonathan A. Doorn, Mark S. Blumberg

Faculty Publications

STUDY OBJECTIVES:

Daily amounts of sleep and wakefulness are accumulated in discrete bouts that exhibit distinct statistical properties. In adult mammals, sleep bout durations follow an exponential distribution whereas wake bout durations follow a power-law distribution. In infant Norway rats, however, wake bouts initially follow an exponential distribution and only transition to a power-law distribution beginning around postnatal day 15 (P15). Here we test the hypothesis that the locus coeruleus (LC), one of several wake-active nuclei in the brainstem, contributes to this developmental transition.

DESIGN:

At P7, rats were injected subcutaneously with saline or DSP-4, a neurotoxin that targets noradrenergic …

Protective Privilege Versus Public Peril: How Illinois Has Failed To Balance Patient Confidentiality With The Mental Health Professional's Duty To Protect The Public, Mary I. Wood

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Mental health professionals face conflicting duties when their patients make threats of violence toward readily identifiable third parties: the duty to protect intended victims and the duty to maintain the confidentiality of patients. The seminal 1976 case, Tarasoff v. Regents of University of California, underscored the tension between these duties--unnecessary breaches of confidentiality may erode the therapeutic doctor/patient relationship and lead to liability for the doctor, but lack of action may cause devastating consequences for the victim. In the wake of the Tarasoff decision, most states enacted statutes codifying a mental health professional's duty to protect third parties from potentially …

Book Review: What's All The Commotion Over Commognition? A Review Of Anna Sfard's Thinking As Communicating, Bharath Sriraman

The Mathematics Enthusiast

If straight edge and compass constructions are the so-called “atoms” of Euclidean geometry, if sequences are the “atoms” of Analysis, then what are the “atoms” (if any) of mathematics education? Arguably mathematics education is a much wider field than Euclidean Geometry or Elementary Analysis, however there are several fundamental things that the field purports to study, chief among which is mathematical thinking or more generally “thinking”. The book under review, though it appears in a Cambridge University Press series entitled Learning in Doing: Social, Cognitive, and Computational Perspectives, is in my view situated at the intersection of Consciousness Studies, …

An Integrated Approach To Model The Establishment, Water Use And Growth Of New Perennial Pasture Species, Lalith D B Suriyagoda, M H. Ryan, Daniel Real, Hans Lambers, Michael Renton

Conference papers and presentations

Perennial pastures increase the sustainability of Australian cropping systems by increasing out of season water use, improving ground cover and helping to avoid dryland salinity. Medicago sativa (lucerne) is the most common perennial legume pasture and is adapted to a wide range of environments, but it does not persist well in areas with acid soils or low summer rainfall (Cocks 2001). Under these scenarios, native herbaceous perennial legumes, such as Cullen australasicum (Cocks 2001), and the exotic perennial pasture legume Bituminaria bituminosa var. albomarginata (common name albo-tedera) are potential alternatives to the currently limited perennial forage options. However, the growth …

Genomic Biomarkers For Molecular Imaging: Predicting The Future., Mathew L. Thakur

Department of Radiation Oncology Faculty Papers

Over the past few decades, great strides have been made in anatomical imaging of disease that has led to their diagnosis with minimal invasion. Despite these advances, diseases such as cancer continue to take one human life every minute in the United States. Complimentary approaches that pertain directly to the genesis of the disease might contribute to its early diagnosis and subsequent management. In cancer, an array of molecular abnormalities leading to the modulations in expression of key proteins important in the cellular signaling pathways and cell proliferation has been identified. These specific disease fingerprints, biomarkers, are overexpressed on malignant …

Ic97 Is A Novel Intermediate Chain Of I1 Dynein That Interacts With Tubulin And Regulates Interdoublet Sliding, Maureen Wirschell, Chun Yang, Pinfen Yang, Laura Fox, Haru-Aki Yanagisawa, Ritsu Kamiya, George B. Witman, Mary E. Porter, Winfield S. Sale

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Our goal is to understand the assembly and regulation of flagellar dyneins, particularly the Chlamydomonas inner arm dynein called I1 dynein. Here, we focus on the uncharacterized I1-dynein IC IC97. The IC97 gene encodes a novel IC without notable structural domains. IC97 shares homology with the murine lung adenoma susceptibility 1 (Las1) protein—a candidate tumor suppressor gene implicated in lung tumorigenesis. Multiple, independent biochemical assays determined that IC97 interacts with both α- and β-tubulin subunits within the axoneme. I1-dynein assembly mutants suggest that IC97 interacts with both the IC138 and IC140 subunits within the I1-dynein motor complex and that IC97 …

Srs2 Disassembles Rad51 Filaments By A Protein-Protein Interaction Triggering Atp Turnover And Dissociation Of Rad51 From Dna, Edwin Antony, Eric J. Tomko, Qi Xiao, Lumir Krejci, Timothy M. Lohman, Tom Ellenberger

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Rad51 is a DNA recombinase functioning in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks and the generation of genetic diversity by homologous recombination (HR). In the presence of ATP, Rad51 self-assembles into an extended polymer on single-stranded DNA to catalyze strand exchange. Inappropriate HR causes genomic instability, and it is normally prevented by remodeling enzymes that antagonize the activities of Rad51 nucleoprotein filaments. In yeast, the Srs2 helicase/translocase suppresses HR by clearing Rad51 polymers from single-stranded DNA. We have examined the mechanism of disassembly of Rad51 nucleoprotein filaments by Srs2 and find that a physical interaction between Rad51 and the C-terminal …

Holism And Human History, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

This paper uses a systems-theoretic model to structure an account of human history. According to the model, a process, after its beginning and early development, often reaches a critical stage where it encounters some limitation. If the limitation is overcome, development does not face a comparable challenge until a second critical juncture is reached, where obstacles to further advance are more severe. At the first juncture, continued development requires some complexity-managing innovation; at the second, it needs some event of systemic integration in which the old organizing principle of the process is replaced by a new principle. Overcoming the first …

Mental Health And The Law: Where Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention (Patent Pending), William W. Wood

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Mental health professionals, most notably the psychiatrists and other clinicians who work in the State of Illinois Operated Inpatient Psychiatric Treatment Facilities, are often frustrated by an inability to treat individuals who have been admitted to the state hospital. Recent changes to the Illinois Mental Health Code have made admission, but not treatment, easier for persons who have a severe mental illness. As treatment innovations develop, the interface of the legal system with the mental health system becomes increasingly important in balancing the often seemingly disparate and opposing goals of both treating persons with mental illnesses and ensuring that their …

Pines And The Ecology Of Carnaby‘S Black-Cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus Latirostris) In The Gnangara Sustainability Strategy Area, Hugh Finn, William Stock, Leonie Valentine

Research outputs pre 2011

This study examined the behavioural ecology of Carnaby‘s Black-Cockatoo in the Gnangara Sustainability Strategy study area, with a focus on habitat use of pine plantations. The study confirms that the pine is the main food source for Carnaby‘s Black-Cockatoos within the GSS area during the non-breeding season (January-June). The value of the Gnangara-Pinjar-Yanchep pine plantations as a food source for Carnaby‘s Black-Cockatoo should not be underestimated. Large congregations of birds (~3000) utilised the pine plantations for an extended period, mainly January-March but with birds continuing to feeding within the plantations through June. The pine plantations have provided an important and …

Batson, Empowerment And New Jury Models: The Case For ‘Open Inquiry’, Patrick C. Brayer

Faculty Works

This 2009 article recommends the practice technique of “open inquiry,” which encourages attorneys and courts to ask jurors to openly identify their race, gender, and ethnicity during voir dire for purposes of appellate review under Batson v. Kentucky and related holdings. An open inquiry helps protect the rights of all jurors to sit. It thus creates a greater chance that juries are more diverse and promotes more voices and experiences during deliberation. The open inquiry method also promotes individual juror participation and increases the group's receptiveness toward individual voices during deliberations. Most importantly, open inquiry forces practitioners to rethink how …
