An eclectic group of sixth-graders arrives at the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, each eager to win for very different reasons. Sweet and shy Olive brings only her best friend (the dictionary) with her to the bee; bold and hyperallergic speller William Barfee uses his “magic foot” to propel him to greatness; former champion Chip is struggling with his burgeoning puberty; easily distracted Leaf is unconvinced that he’s smart enough to be a challenger; overachiever Marcy is disappointed by her consistent success; and politically aware Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre only wants to impress her gay dads. In hilarious, touching, and catchy …
Meditation And Mental Freedom: A Buddhist Theory Of Free Will, Rick Repetti
Meditation And Mental Freedom: A Buddhist Theory Of Free Will, Rick Repetti
Publications and Research
I argue that central Buddhist tenets and meditation methodology support a view of free will similar to Harry Frankfurt’s optimistic view and contrary to Galen Strawson’s pessimistic view. For Frankfurt, free will involves a relationship between actions, volitions, and “metavolitions” (volitions about volitions): simplifying greatly, volitional actions are free if the agent approves of them. For Buddhists, mental freedom involves a relationship between mental states and “metamental” states (mental attitudes toward mental states): simplifying greatly, one has mental freedom if one is able to control one’s mental states, and to the extent one has mental freedom when choosing, one has …
Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor And Its Signal Transduction In The Rat Hypothalamo -Neurohypophysial System, David Y. Lo
Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor And Its Signal Transduction In The Rat Hypothalamo -Neurohypophysial System, David Y. Lo
Theses and Dissertations
Ciliary neurotrophic factor, a member of the interleukin-6 family of cytokines, promotes neuronal survival and axonal sprouting in various populations of neurons including sensory neurons, motor neurons, and magnocellular neurons (MCN's) of the supraoptic nucleus (SON). Unilateral lesion of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial tract (HNT) results in an initial period of axonal degeneration followed by a restoration of axonal density in the neurohypophysis by 30 days post-lesion. The restoration of axonal density is attributed to collateral sprouting from MCN's of the intact contralateral SON. A statistically significant increase in CNTF levels was demonstrated previously in the intact contralateral SON following unilateral lesion …
Functional Regulation Of The Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 1 By Caveolin 1 And Stromal Interaction Molecule 1, Biswaranjan Pani
Functional Regulation Of The Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 1 By Caveolin 1 And Stromal Interaction Molecule 1, Biswaranjan Pani
Theses and Dissertations
Caveolae are cholesterol-rich plasma-membrane (PM) microdomains which foster wide-range of signal-transduction events including Ca2+-influx. Caveolae contain Caveolin1 (Cav1) as their major structural-protein. Transient receptor potential canonical 1 (TRPC1) channels constitute an integral-component of store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCC) which initiate store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+-store depletion. Recently, Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) was identified as the ER Ca2+-sensor which, following store-depletion, forms clusters and translocate to peripheral-ER at sub-plasma membrane region and communicates with PM-SOCC activating SOCE. This study identifies a significant role of Cav1 and STIM1 in regulating TRPC1 function. In salivary epithelial cells, …

Trans-4-Hydroxy-2-Hexenal As A Marker Of N-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Oxidation In Brain In A Rat Model Of Ethanol Withdrawal, Eric K. Long
Theses and Dissertations
Lipid peroxidation is a free radical-mediated process characterized by addition of molecular oxygen to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Lipid peroxidation occurs basally, resulting in products that participate in normal signaling. One product is trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE). HNE is a product of lipid peroxidation of n-6 PUFA, such as arachidonic acid, and has the ability to mofify proteins, deplete glutathione, and induce apoptosis. Brain is a tissue that consumes large amounts of oxygen and contains an abundance of PUFA, which suggests a high degree of susceptibility of lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation is known to increase in brain in diseases such as Alzheimer's …

Selenium Determinations, Nanoparticle Sorbent Analysis And Nanoparticle Catalysts For Chemiluminescence, Sandra Grace Hazelton
Selenium Determinations, Nanoparticle Sorbent Analysis And Nanoparticle Catalysts For Chemiluminescence, Sandra Grace Hazelton
Theses and Dissertations
Three projects in chemical analysis are presented. In the first, calibration-free Se(IV) determinations were accomplished using an electrochemical flow cell and stripping potentiometry at an unmodified gold electrode. The method was optimized prior to analysis of water and wheat samples. A detection limit of approximately 0.5 ppb Se(IV) was observed. Method accuracy was good and precision was acceptable (%RSD < 10). In the second project, stripping analysis was also employed, this time to analyze metal ion adsorption on carboxylic acid-modified silica nanoparticles. The metals analyzed were Cu(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II). By using anodic stripping voltammetry, adsorbed metal ions could not be detected, thus the need to separate the sorbent from the free metal ions was eliminated. All three metal ions in this study adsorbed in a nearly one-to-one ratio with the carboxylic acid groups at high pH (∼1000 μmol g-1). The effect of pH on adsorption behavior was also investigated. The third project also employed silica nanoparticles and a flow-through detection system. Co(III)-triethanolamine-doped silica nanoparticles were synthesized and used as catalysts for the luminol-H2O2 chemiluminescence reaction. It was found that the chemiluminescent signal increased linearly with the concentration of nanoparticles in bulk solution. The detection limit for the nanoparticles was 1.5 × 10-12 mol L-1 . Luminol-H2O2 chemiluminescence had superior precision when catalyzed by nanoparticles as compared with the free cobalt(III) complex. It was demonstrated that the nanoparticles met the criteria required for a biosensor label.
The Impact Of Social Support On The Neuropsychological Functioning Of Multiple Sclerosis Patients, Caitlin G. Schultz
The Impact Of Social Support On The Neuropsychological Functioning Of Multiple Sclerosis Patients, Caitlin G. Schultz
Theses and Dissertations
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease which can affect several areas of functioning including physical and psychological functioning. Many individuals experience difficulties with depression and neuropsychological capabilities. Additionally, social networks often appear to be impacted by the disease. Previous research has shown that some of the physical functioning as well as the depressive symptomatology in multiple sclerosis can be ameliorated by improvements in social support. The present study used archival data to explore the impact of social support on neuropsychological function in 112 adults with multiple sclerosis. It was found that higher levels of perceived social support correlated with improved …
Activation Dependent Function Of Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 3 In Neurosecretion, Sunitha Bollimuntha
Activation Dependent Function Of Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 3 In Neurosecretion, Sunitha Bollimuntha
Theses and Dissertations
Transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3), a non-selective Ca 2+-permeable cation channel, is a member of the TRP superfamily of ion channels. The mode of activation of TRPC3 is governed by a cascade of Phospholipase C (PLC) mediated signaling events, following G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) or tyrosine kinase receptor activation, resulting in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ store depletion. This very store depletion triggers the activation of plasma membrane TRPC3 and hence they are termed as receptor operated or store operated cation channels. In addition to the receptor mediated activation of TRPC3, an alternate mode of channel activation has been described, …
Genomic Analysis Of Nematode-Environment Interaction, Bishwo Adhikari
Genomic Analysis Of Nematode-Environment Interaction, Bishwo Adhikari
Theses and Dissertations
The natural environments of organisms present a multitude of biotic and abiotic challenges that require both short-term ecological and long-term evolutionary responses. Though most environmental response studies have focused on effects at the ecosystem, community and organismal levels, the ultimate controls of these responses are located in the genome of the organism. Soil nematodes are highly responsive to, and display a wide variety of responses to changing environmental conditions, making them ideal models for the study of organismal interactions with their environment. In an attempt to examine responses to environmental stress (desiccation and freezing), genomic level analyses of gene expression …
The Believers: A Novel, Karen T. Miller
The Believers: A Novel, Karen T. Miller
Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation takes for its topic the prosperity gospel, begun in the mid-nineteenth century and still thriving today. The prosperity ministries that cropped up in Oklahoma and Texas emphasize scriptures such as "ask what you Will and it shall be done" (John 15.7). They teach that if you have faith, whatever you ask of God Will be given to you. This novel explores what happens to a group of young adults in a small-town Arkansas church who follow the evangelist Reverend Elijah P. Dunlap's prosperity teaching. Weekly meetings of the Believers form the structure for the novel. The group's members …
Hippocampal Based Spatial Memory, Antioxidant Defense And Neurogenesis In Long-Living Ames Dwarf Mice, Sunita Sharma
Hippocampal Based Spatial Memory, Antioxidant Defense And Neurogenesis In Long-Living Ames Dwarf Mice, Sunita Sharma
Theses and Dissertations
The US Census Bureau projects that there Will be 71.5 million people over the age of 65 by 2030. One of the most significant problems is that the elderly population suffers from age-associated cognitive impairment. The hippocampus is one identified brain region known to be vulnerable to aging and is associated with a decline in growth hormone/insulin like growth factor-1 (GH/IGF-1), and an increase in oxidative stress and neuronal loss. The Ames dwarf mouse is a long-living animal that is growth hormone deficient and thus, lacks peripheral IGF-1. Ames mice have enhanced antioxidant protection in the peripheral system but the …

Identifying Social Studies Content Embedded Inelementary Basal Readers, Wendy Taylor Workman
Theses and Dissertations
In the current educational climate of federally mandated assessments of student learning, the survival of the elementary social studies curriculum may depend on interdisciplinary instructional methods to link social studies to the accountability-favored discipline of literacy. The purpose of this content analysis study was to examine and identify social studies content embedded within a second grade and a fifth grade basal reader from the 2008 Houghton Mifflin Reading Series. Each of the basals were read and coded using the Utah State Office of Education Social Studies Standards indicators and the National Council for the Social Studies Standards as a priori …
