The Effects Of Flower Color Transitions On Diversification Rates In Morning Glories (Ipomoea Subg. Quamoclit, Convolvulaceae), Stacey Dewitt Smith, Richard E. Miller, Sarah P. Otto, Richard G. Fitzjohn, Mark D. Rausher Jan 2010

The Effects Of Flower Color Transitions On Diversification Rates In Morning Glories (Ipomoea Subg. Quamoclit, Convolvulaceae), Stacey Dewitt Smith, Richard E. Miller, Sarah P. Otto, Richard G. Fitzjohn, Mark D. Rausher

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

As in many clades of flowering plants, the Quamoclit clade of morning glories (Ipomoea subgenus Quamoclit) exhibits unequal proportions of different flower colors, with pigmented species outnumbering unpigmented species by nearly a factor of 7. We examined three possible macroevolutionary explanations for this pattern: (1) asymmetric transition rates between pigmented and unpigmented flowers; (2) low transition rates preventing the flower colors from reaching equilibrium; and (3) differential diversification. In order to discriminate among these explanations, we employ the newly-developed Binary-State Speciation and Extinction (BiSSE) model, which jointly estimates transition rates among states and the speciation and extinction rates …


Association Of Rs780094 In Gckr With Metabolic Traits And Incident Diabetes And Cardiovascular Disease: The Aric Study, Mark Bi, Wen Hong Linda Kao, Eric Boerwinkle, Ron C. Hoogeveen, Laura J. Rasmussen-Torvik, Brad C. Astor, Kari E. North, Joseph Coresh, Anna Kottgen Jan 2010

Association Of Rs780094 In Gckr With Metabolic Traits And Incident Diabetes And Cardiovascular Disease: The Aric Study, Mark Bi, Wen Hong Linda Kao, Eric Boerwinkle, Ron C. Hoogeveen, Laura J. Rasmussen-Torvik, Brad C. Astor, Kari E. North, Joseph Coresh, Anna Kottgen

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Objective: The minor T-allele of rs780094 in the glucokinase regulator gene (GCKR) associates with a number of metabolic traits including higher triglyceride levels and improved glycemic regulation in study populations of mostly European ancestry. Using data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study, we sought to replicate these findings, examine them in a large population-based sample of African American study participants, and to investigate independent associations with other metabolic traits in order to determine if variation in GKCR contributes to their observed clustering. In addition, we examined the association of rs780094 with incident diabetes, coronary heart disease (CHD), and …

Treatment Of Asymptomatic Carriers With Artemether-Lumefantrine: An Opportunity To Reduce The Burden Of Malaria?, B. Ogutu, A.B. Tiono, M. Makanga, Zul Premji, A.D. Gbadoe, D. Ubben, A.C. Marrast, O. Gaye

Pathology, East Africa

Background: Increased investment and commitment to malaria prevention and treatment strategies across Africa has produced impressive reductions in the incidence of this disease. Nevertheless, it is clear that further interventions will be necessary to meet the international target of a reversal in the incidence of malaria by 2015. This article discusses the prospective role of an innovative malaria control strategy - the community-based treatment of asymptomatic carriers of Plasmodium falciparum, with artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT). The potential of this intervention was considered by key scientists in the field at an Advisory Board meeting held in Basel, in April 2009. …

Federal Preemption: A Roadmap For The Application Of Tribal Law In State Courts, Jackie Gardina Jan 2010

Federal Preemption: A Roadmap For The Application Of Tribal Law In State Courts, Jackie Gardina

American Indian Law Review

This article contends that state courts are not necessarily free to apply state law when the courts are exercising concurrent adjudicative jurisdiction with tribal courts. Instead, Indian law principles of preemption direct state courts to apply tribal law in certain cases. A guiding principle emerges from the preemption analysis: if a tribe has legislative jurisdication over the dispute, tribal law must ordinarily be applied. In these instances, a state's laws, including its choice-of-law rules, are preempted by federal common law because their application interferes with the federal government's and the tribes' interest in promoting tribal self-government, including the tribes' ability …

Adieu Raimon, A Dieu, Joseph Prabhu Jan 2010

Adieu Raimon, A Dieu, Joseph Prabhu

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Raimon Panikkar, known to many in this Society of Hindu-Christian Studies as a teacher, scholar, mentor or friend, died at his home in Tavertet, near Barcelona, on August 26, 2010. He was ninety-one and had been in poor health for some time, but he did live to see the day when his Gifford Lectures, originally delivered in Edinburgh in 1989, and over which he had agonized ever since [he produced some nineteen different versions of parts of the texts], finally saw the light of day in June of this year as The Rhythm of Being (Orbis Books).

Expression Of Hcmv Ie1 In The U87mg Cell Line Augments Resistance To Temozolomide , Richard A. Rovin, Johnathan Lawrence, Justin J. Segula, Robert J. Winn

Journal Articles

INTRODUCTION: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA and protein are found in gliomas but not in normal brain or other primary brain tumors. The role of HCMV infection in glioma biology is unclear. While it is unlikely that HCMV infection causes glioma, viral proteins might impart a proliferative and antiapoptotic phenotype that confers a survival advantage. Does this oncomodulation translate into a clinically relevant effect in glioma cells? To answer this question, we compared the response of the U87IE1 and U87MG malignant glioma cell lines to temozolomide. U87IE1 cells are U87MG cells that have been genetically engineered to produce HCMV IE1 protein. …
