Facts: This is a petition to allow free movement of Palestinian vehicles and pedestrians along Road 443 and on the Beituniya Road. In 2002, Road 443, which served as the main traffic artery for the Palestinian residents of the area between the villages in the area and Ramallah, was closed to all Palestinian traffic. This closure was ordered following the numerous terrorist attacks that were perpetrated along the Road. The arguments related to the question of the authority of the military commander to order the restriction of traffic on the Road in general, and closure of the Road to Palestinians …

Institutional Racism, Ice Raids, And Immigration Reform, Bill Ong Hing

University of San Francisco Law Review

Although immigration raids are not a recent phenomenon, this Article focuses on a few egregious ICE raids that occurred after President Bush’s push for immigration reform in 2004. the ICE operations targeted Latinos—usually Mexicans. The exceptions were Chinese restaurants and other businesses that relied on workers of color. That racial effect is the focus of this Article and the basis for advocating that both immigration policies and ICE enforcement need to be rethought.

Mir319a Targeting Of Tcp4 Is Critical For Petal Growth And Development In Arabidopsis, Anwesha Nag, Stacey King, Thomas Jack

Dartmouth Scholarship

In a genetic screen in a drnl-2 background, we isolated a loss-of-function allele in miR319a (miR319a¹²⁹). Previously, miR319a has been postulated to play a role in leaf development based on the dramatic curled-leaf phenotype of plants that ectopically express miR319a (jaw-D). miR319a¹²⁹ mutants exhibit defects in petal and stamen development; petals are narrow and short, and stamens exhibit defects in anther development. The miR319a¹²⁹ loss-of-function allele contains a single-base change in the middle of the encoded miRNA, which reduces the ability of miR319a to recognize targets. Analysis of the expression patterns of the …

Introduction To Ritual Theory Ritual Practice, Catherine M. Bell

Religious Studies

This book undertakes such an analysis in two ways: first, through a critical reading of how the notion of ritual has been used in the study of religion, society, and culture; and second, through an attempt to carve out an approach to ritual activities that is less encumbered by assumptions about thinking and acting and more disclosing of the strategies by which ritualized activities do what they do. I do not provide a comprehensive history of the term, a review of the most famous ethnographic examples, or a revised theory of ritual—useful though these projects might be. The purpose of …

Experience In Icd Implantation And Follow-Up In Ibn- Albitar Hospital, Ali Abdul-Amir M. Al-Musawi, Kasim Abbas Ismail, Muthanna Hameed Al-Quraishi, Amjad Rahman Bairam, Kassim Mohamad J. Al-Doori

Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Survivals of sudden cardiac death (SCD) episodes have recurrence rate of 30-50% within two years, with malignant ventricular arrhythmias most often responsible1, 2. The overall survival rate for SCD in USA is 5%. Ninety-five percent of patients suffering their initial event fail to survive to become candidate for secondary prevention1.Because of the wide spread acceptance of implantable cardioverter defibrillator ( ICD ) as a method treating the survivals of SCD, attention has turned to primary prevention 1. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is highly effective in primary and secondary prevention of SCD due to life threatening ventricular tachycardia (VT). OBJECTIVE: …

Cytogenetic Response Of Peripheral Blood In Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients Treated With Imatinb, Maysaa Abdul Razaq Dhahi, Daad Imad, Nidhal Abdul Mohaymen, Nabeel Salman Murad

Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal

ABSTRACT: BACK GROUND: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a stem cell disorder associated with an acquired chromosomal abnormality, Philadelphia chromosome (Ph), which arises from the reciprocal translocation of part of long arm of chromosome 9, in which proto-oncogene ABL gene (ablson) is located, to long arm of chromosome 22, in which BCR gene (break point cluster region) is located forming BCR-ABL fusion gene. The suppression of BCR-ABL is likely to be crucial for therapeutic success. The development of the BCR-ABL-targeted Imatinib mesylate represents a paradigm shift in the treatment of CML. OBJECTIVE: This is a prospective study designed as a …

Theoria, Theos, And Therapeia In Aristotle's Ethical Endings, Lawrence Jost

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

My basic complaint is that it’s not at all obvious that maximizing the theoretical activity of our most divine element does full justice to the richly textured environment provided by the first 9 1/2 books of the NE, which seemed to call for focused development of the full range of our human potential, combining moral and intellectual virtues along with provision for adequate supplies of external goods. The older language of the seemingly endless debate about whether or not the NE settles for an inclusive or dominant-end conception of eudaimonia has been redescribed - in Michael Pakaluk’s new terminology - …

A Unique Role For The Host Escrt Proteins In Replication Of Tomato Bushy Stunt Virus, Daniel Barajas, Yi Jiang, Peter D. Nagy

Plant Pathology Faculty Publications

Plus-stranded RNA viruses replicate in infected cells by assembling viral replicase complexes consisting of viral- and host-coded proteins. Previous genome-wide screens with Tomato bushy stunt tombusvirus (TBSV) in a yeast model host revealed the involvement of seven ESCRT (endosomal sorting complexes required for transport) proteins in viral replication. In this paper, we show that the expression of dominant negative Vps23p, Vps24p, Snf7p, and Vps4p ESCRT factors inhibited virus replication in the plant host, suggesting that tombusviruses co-opt selected ESCRT proteins for the assembly of the viral replicase complex. We also show that TBSV p33 replication protein interacts with Vps23p ESCRT-I …

Ecology Of Urban Bees: A Review Of Current Knowledge And Directions For Future Study, J. L. Hernandez, G. W. Frankie, R. W. Thorp

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Urban bee ecology is an emerging field that holds promise for advancing knowledge of bee community dynamics and promoting bee conservation. Published studies of bee communities in urban and suburban habitats are fewer than those documenting bees in agricultural and wildland settings. As land lost to urbanization is predicted to increase in coming years the necessity of studying urban bee populations is growing. We reviewed 59 publications on urban bee ecology with the following goals, to assess current knowledge, to highlight areas in need of further research, and to suggest applications of study findings to bee conservation. Methodological variation between …

Fgf2 Maintains The Proliferation Of Neural Progenitors By Actively Suppressing The Cki P27kip1 Through Regulation Of Cks1b Transcription, Andrew J. Darr

Open Access Dissertations

Identifying the mechanisms that regulate neural precursor cell (NPC) proliferation and differentiation is important for understanding CNS development among different vertebrates. My work has focused specifically on understanding how mitogenic factors, like basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2), regulate the NPC cell cycle. Mitogenic factors and serum are thought to drive cell cycle and therefore proliferation mainly by activating G1-type cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). The general hypothesis being addressed here is that FGF2 also promotes cell cycle progression of NPCs through the degradation of the cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip1. I show that, in the presence of FGF2 in vitro, embryonic rat cortical …

On The Realized Volatility Of The Ecx Co2 Emissions 2008 Futures Contract: Distribution, Dynamics And Forecasting, Julien Chevallier, Benoît Sévi

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

The recent implementation of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) in January 2005 created new financial risks for emitting firms. To deal with these risks, options are traded since October 2006. Because the EU ETS is a new market, the relevant underlying model for option pricing is still a controversial issue. This article improves our understanding of this issue by characterizing the conditional and unconditional distributions of the realized volatility for the 2008 futures contract in the European Climate Exchange (ECX), which is valid during Phase II (2008-2012) of the EU ETS. The realized volatility measures from naive, kernel-based …
