The Osmolytic Effect And Its Action On Topoisomerase-I, Matthew Paul Dukes Jan 2009

The Osmolytic Effect And Its Action On Topoisomerase-I, Matthew Paul Dukes

Honors Theses

While the presence of water within biological systems is acknowledged to be of utmost importance, its specific role at the molecular level within these systems has only recently been studied carefully. Of particular interest are the effects of water on the interactions that occur between topoisomerase-I and DNA. Topoisomerase-I relaxes supercoiled DNA, a process critical for cellular processes such as transcription and replication. Relaxation occurs when the enzyme breaks one strand of the double-stranded DNA, rotates a broken end around the intact strand, and rejoins the two broken ends. consequently changing the linking number of the supercoiled DNA by an …


On Generalized Mersenne And Fermat Primes, Bette Catherine Putnam Jan 2009

On Generalized Mersenne And Fermat Primes, Bette Catherine Putnam

Honors Theses

The classical Merseniie and Fermat primes are, respectivel3^ primes of the form 2^' - 1 and 2^‘ + 1. The Mersenne primes have been studied since antiquity. It is known that if 2^ - 1 is prime then k is prime. As of September 2008, there are forty-six such primes known. Fermat primes, of the form 2^’ -h 1, seem to be more rare. It is known that if 2^' -I- 1 is prime, then k must be a power of 2. To date only 2“*^ -I- 1, 2^* -f 1, 2^^ -f-1, 2'^^ -t-1, and 2^^ -|-1 are known …


Use Of Empirically Supported Interventions For Psychopathology: Can The Participatory Approach Move Us Beyond The Research-To-Practice Gap?, Carolyn Becker, E. Stice, H. Shaw, S. Woda Jan 2009

Use Of Empirically Supported Interventions For Psychopathology: Can The Participatory Approach Move Us Beyond The Research-To-Practice Gap?, Carolyn Becker, E. Stice, H. Shaw, S. Woda

Psychology Faculty Research

Dissemination, or distribution, of empirically-supported interventions (ESIs) for psychopathology remains a significant challenge. This paper reviews the principles of community-partnership research (CPR) and explores why CPR might improve distribution of psychological ESIs. Benefits of CPR include building trust, pooling resources and knowledge, and better serving a community by directly involving its members in the design and implementation of research. In addition, after establishing a community’s trust using CPR, researchers are likely to be better positioned to partner with communities in the further distribution of ESIs via community networks. This paper reviews the case of dissonance-based eating disorder prevention interventions to …

Law Enforcement Preferences For Ptsd Treatment And Crisis Management Alternatives, Carolyn Becker, Glenn Meyer, J. S. Price, M. M. Graham, Ashley Arsena, D. A. Armstrong, Elizabeth Ramon

Psychology Faculty Research

Evidence-based treatments (EBT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remain underutilized. Analog research, however, indicates that patients may be more amenable to receiving EBT for PTSD than utilization rates suggest. This study sought to extend previous studies by investigating PTSD treatment preferences among law enforcement individuals (i.e., active duty officers, cadets, criminal justice students). We asked 379 participants, with varying trauma histories, to read a police traumatic event and imagine they had developed PTSD. Participants rated the credibility of six treatment options which they might encounter in a treatment setting, and chose their most and least preferred treatments. Next, they evaluated …


Early Verb Learners: Creative Or Not?, Jane B. Childers Jan 2009

Early Verb Learners: Creative Or Not?, Jane B. Childers

Psychology Faculty Research

This monograph describes a longitudinal study of eight children's first verb uses including an analysis of the variety of words used in conjunction with 34 targeted verbs, the variety of utterances produced, and the patterns of developmental change in the first 10 uses of these verbs. These data are important because most diary studies have included very few children at a time and have not focused on the beginnings of verb learning. Thus, these results advance our understanding of an early stage of verb learning that has received relatively little attention.

Key Role Of T Cell Defects In Age-Related Vulnerability To West Nile Virus, James D. Brien, Jennifer L. Uhrlaub, Alec Hirsch, Clayton A. Wiley, Janko Nikolich-Zugich Jan 2009

Key Role Of T Cell Defects In Age-Related Vulnerability To West Nile Virus, James D. Brien, Jennifer L. Uhrlaub, Alec Hirsch, Clayton A. Wiley, Janko Nikolich-Zugich

Open Access Publications

West Nile virus (WNV) infection causes a life-threatening meningoencephalitis that becomes increasingly more prevalent over the age of 50 and is 40-50x more prevalent in people over the age of 70, compared with adults under the age of 40. In a mouse model of age-related vulnerability to WNV, we demonstrate that death correlates with increased viral titers in the brain and that this loss of virus control with age was the result of defects in the CD4 and CD8 T cell response against WNV. Specific age-related defects in T cell responses against dominant WNV epitopes were detected at the level …


Trem-2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed On Myeloid Cells 2) Is A Phagocytic Receptor For Bacteria, Elsa-Noah N'Diaye, Catherine S. Branda, Steven S. Branda, Lisette Nevarez, Marco Colonna, Clifford Lowell, Jessica A. Hamerman, William E. Seaman Jan 2009

Trem-2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed On Myeloid Cells 2) Is A Phagocytic Receptor For Bacteria, Elsa-Noah N'Diaye, Catherine S. Branda, Steven S. Branda, Lisette Nevarez, Marco Colonna, Clifford Lowell, Jessica A. Hamerman, William E. Seaman

Open Access Publications

Phagocytosis, which is essential for the immune response to pathogens, is initiated by specific interactions between pathogens and cell surface receptors expressed by phagocytes. This study identifies triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM-2) and its signaling counterpart DAP12 as a molecular complex that promotes phagocytosis of bacteria. Expression of TREM-2-DAP12 enables nonphagocytic Chinese hamster ovary cells to internalize bacteria. This function depends on actin cytoskeleton dynamics and the activity of the small guanosine triphosphatases Rac and Cdc42. Internalization also requires src kinase activity and tyrosine phosphorylation. In bone marrow-derived macrophages, phagocytosis is decreased in the absence of DAP12 …


Cdc42 Antagonizes Rho1 Activity At Adherens Junctions To Limit Epithelial Cell Apical Tension, Stephen J. Warner, Gregory D. Longmore Jan 2009

Cdc42 Antagonizes Rho1 Activity At Adherens Junctions To Limit Epithelial Cell Apical Tension, Stephen J. Warner, Gregory D. Longmore

Open Access Publications

In epithelia, cells are arranged in an orderly pattern with a defined orientation and shape. Cadherin containing apical adherens junctions (AJs) and the associated actomyosin cytoskeleton likely contribute to epithelial cell shape by providing apical tension. The Rho guanosine triphosphatases are well known regulators of cell junction formation, maintenance, and function. Specifically, Rho promotes actomyosin activity and cell contractility; however, what controls and localizes this Rho activity as epithelia remodel is unresolved. Using mosaic clonal analysis in the Drosophila melanogaster pupal eye, we find that Cdc42 is critical for limiting apical cell tension by antagonizing Rho activity at AJs. Cdc42 …

Analysis Of Videotape Evidence In Police Misconduct Cases, Martin A. Schwartz, Jessica Silbey, Jack Ryan, Gail Donoghue

Faculty Scholarship

Many evidentiary issues arise with respect to the admission of videotape evidence and computer generated simulations at trial, and the authors of this Article address these issues as they arise in police misconduct cases. Professor Schwartz provides insight into and analysis of the evidentiary principles that govern the use of video and computer simulation evidence at trial in cases where police misconduct is at issue. His discussion first addresses the issues that concern the admissibility of videotape evidence, then discusses the role of a videotape on summary judgment, and lastly, analyzes evidentiary issues with respect to computer generated simulations.

The Rules Of Engagement: German Women And British Occupiers, 1945–1949, Barbara Smith Jan 2009

The Rules Of Engagement: German Women And British Occupiers, 1945–1949, Barbara Smith

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

This dissertation is a document based administrative study of the British occupation of Germany, 1945–49, and its impact on specific areas of the lives of German women who were living in the British zone. The study examines the effect of British occupation policy on the regulation of marriage, prostitution and venereal disease, and German women’s organizations. British occupation strategies were unique; although the British worked with the Americans on many levels they maintained separate policy approaches. The British brought their own social perspectives and systems to Germany and attempted to impose them on German social and civil procedures. German women …
