Israel Oil Refineries Ltd. V. New Hampshire Insurance, Edna Arbel, Elyakim Rubinstein, Eliezer Rivlin Dec 2010

Israel Oil Refineries Ltd. V. New Hampshire Insurance, Edna Arbel, Elyakim Rubinstein, Eliezer Rivlin

Translated Opinions

Facts: The Tel Aviv District Court granted a petition for the recognition of a judgment rendered by an English court, which had declared that an insurance policy issued by the respondent (New Hampshire Insurance) to an Israeli company, Oil Refineries Ltd. – the appellant – was void on the grounds that a substantial matter had not been disclosed to the issuer. The respondent brought the action in the English court after its sibling company (AIG Europe, which had underwritten the policy) had been served a third party notice in an Israeli proceeding brought against the appellant. The District Court …


Intradermal Immunization Of Mice With Radiation-Attenuated Sporozoites Of Plasmodium Yoelii Induces Effective Protective Immunity, Tatiana Voza, Chahnaz Kebaier, Jerome P. Vanderberg Dec 2010

Intradermal Immunization Of Mice With Radiation-Attenuated Sporozoites Of Plasmodium Yoelii Induces Effective Protective Immunity, Tatiana Voza, Chahnaz Kebaier, Jerome P. Vanderberg

Publications and Research

Background Intravenous injection of mice with attenuated Plasmodium berghei sporozoites induces sterile immunity to challenge with viable sporozoites. Non-intravenous routes have been reported to yield poor immunity. Because intravenous immunization has been considered to be unacceptable for large scale vaccination of humans, assessment was made of the results of intradermal immunization of mice with Plasmodium yoelii, a rodent malaria parasite whose infectivity resembles that of human malaria. Methods Mice were immunized with two injections of isolated, radiation-attenuated P. yoelii sporozoites, either by intravenous (IV) or intradermal (ID) inoculation. In an attempt to enhance protective immunogenicity of ID-injections, one group of …

A Simple Method To Reduce Infection Of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunts Clinical Article, Atiq-Ur Rehman, Tausif-Ur Rehman, Hassaan H. Bashir, Vikas Gupta Dec 2010

A Simple Method To Reduce Infection Of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunts Clinical Article, Atiq-Ur Rehman, Tausif-Ur Rehman, Hassaan H. Bashir, Vikas Gupta

Department of Medicine

Object: Postoperative shunt infection is the most common and feared complication of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement for treatment of hydrocephalus. The rate of shunt infection is highest in the 1st postoperative month. The most common organisms responsible for shunt infection include coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Staphylococcus aureus. This suggests a transfer of Patient's skin flora via the surgeons' glove as a possible means of infection. The authors conducted a study to determine if the rate of postoperative shunt infections could be reduced simply by changing gloves before handling the shunt catheter. Methods: A total of 111 neonates born with congenital hydrocephalus …


Modeling And Testing Of Dna Motion For Nanoinjection, Regis Agenor David Dec 2010

Modeling And Testing Of Dna Motion For Nanoinjection, Regis Agenor David

Theses and Dissertations

A new technique, called nanoinjection, is being developed to insert foreign DNA into a living cell. Such DNA transfection is commonly used to create transgenic organisms vital to the study of genetics, immunology, and many other biological sciences. In nanoinjection, DNA, which has a net negative charge, is electrically attracted to a micromachined lance. The lance then pierces the cell membranes, and the voltage on the lance is reversed, repelling the DNA into the cell. It is shown that DNA motion is strongly correlated to ion transport through a process called electrophoresis. Gel electrophoresis is used to move DNA using …


Lost On Purpose, Matthew Mccain Martin Dec 2010

Lost On Purpose, Matthew Mccain Martin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

In nine linked nonfiction essays and eight codas, the author seeks to understand the meaning of being lost and the importance of not knowing in an era of instantaneous and ubiquitous information. Through extensive interviews, research, and memoir, the author seeks out those who choose to live lost in order to understand his own penchant for escape. Framed by the mystery of antique maps, these essays find the author in several different locations, from Tasmania to Siberia to Utah. In each, the author meets and spends time with an ambassador of each place before finally attempting to become lost himself.

Predicting Someone's True Identity: Linguistic Norms And Cues In Online Personal Advertisements, Lindsay Elliott Dec 2010

Predicting Someone's True Identity: Linguistic Norms And Cues In Online Personal Advertisements, Lindsay Elliott

Theses

Internet dating is now ranked third as the way people meet, behind meeting at work or school, and through a friend or family member. This study researches the use of social and linguistic norms in online dating advertisements. Previous research has posed that social groups create unique identities and group members will selectively present themselves in ways consistent with these identities. Using Craigslist to assess the similarities and differences between genders and sexualities in online personal postings, an online quiz-like survey was created. This research reports on people's abilities to predict the sexual orientation and gender of the writer based …


Information-Seeking Behavior Of Novelists In Archives, Cary G. Osborne Dec 2010

Information-Seeking Behavior Of Novelists In Archives, Cary G. Osborne

Journal of Western Archives

Archives are a frequently untapped resource for novelists. Accounts of daily life, the lives of individuals, details of specific eras, and other minutiae found in the documents and memorabilia housed in archives can be used to fill out the essential scenes and events of the stories. Such facts and personal details help fiction writers make their stories real to readers and keep misconceptions and factual errors out. This study looks at the limited literature on the subject of authors in archives and presents examples of the types of information housed in particular archives to illustrate the kinds of details that …

Physiological Effects Of High Salinity In Teleost Fish, Janet Genz Dec 2010

Physiological Effects Of High Salinity In Teleost Fish, Janet Genz

Open Access Dissertations

Natural exposure to hypersaline environments occurs in many fish species (e.g. in tidal pools, lakes, estuaries, or due to migration). Fish in environments that are more concentrated than their extracellular fluids experience continual diffusive water loss which they combat by drinking. Intestinal Na+ and Cl- absorption drives water uptake and concentrates impermeable MgSO4 in the lumen. Epithelial Cl- absorption occurs in part by apical Cl-/HCO3- exchange, with HCO3- provided by transepithelial transport and/or by carbonic anhydrase-mediated hydration of endogenous CO2. Hydration of CO2 also liberates H+, which is excreted across either the basolateral or apical membranes. Transport of water, ions, …

Education, Politics And Opinions About Climate Change: Evidence For Interaction Effects, Lawrence C. Hamilton Dec 2010

Education, Politics And Opinions About Climate Change: Evidence For Interaction Effects, Lawrence C. Hamilton

Sociology

U.S. public opinion regarding climate change has become increasingly polarized in recent years, as partisan think tanks and others worked to recast an originally scientific topic into a political wedge issue. Nominally “scientific” arguments against taking anthropogenic climate change seriously have been publicized to reach informed but ideologically receptive audiences. Reflecting the success of such arguments, polls have noted that concern about climate change increased with education among Democrats, but decreased with education among Republicans. These observations lead to the hypothesis that there exist interaction (non-additive) effects between education or knowledge and political orientation, net of other background factors, in …
