Long-Term And Seasonal Trends In Phytoplankton Production And Biomass In Tampa Bay, Florida., J.O. R. Johansson

Reports

Phytoplankton production is a basic process in aquatic ecosystems that converts inorganic carbon into organic matter and provides an important indicator of trophic state. The City of Tampa Bay Study Group maintains a 32 year long monthly record of phytoplankton production rates and biomass (chlorophyll-a) in Hillsborough Bay (HB) and Middle Tampa Bay (MTB), and a recent record during the last nine years for Old Tampa Bay (OTB). Production is measured using the classic in situ 14C method with samples incubated vertically in the water column. Annual production rates during the most recent decade are about 410gCm-2 for HB, 350gCm-2 …

Positron And Electron Impact Double Ionization Of Argon: How 1st- And 2nd-Order Mechanisms Influence The Differential Electron Emission, Robert D. Dubois, O. G. De Lucio, J. Gavin

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Double-to-single-ionization ratios for electron emission as a function of the angle are measured for 200, 500, and 1000 eV positron and electron impact on argon. Both the sign of the projectile charge and the impact energy are shown to influence the angular dependences. by combining these ratios for positron and electron impact, information about how first- and second-order double-ionization mechanisms interfere and contribute to the total differential electron emission at different collision velocities is obtained. © 2010 EPLA.

Soytedb: A Comprehensive Database Of Transposable Elements In The Soybean Genome, Jianchang Du, David Grant, Zhixi Tian, Rex T. Nelson, Liucun Zhu, Randy C. Shoemaker, Jianxin Ma

Department of Agronomy Faculty Publications

Background

Transposable elements are the most abundant components of all characterized genomes of higher eukaryotes. It has been documented that these elements not only contribute to the shaping and reshaping of their host genomes, but also play significant roles in regulating gene expression, altering gene function, and creating new genes. Thus, complete identification of transposable elements in sequenced genomes and construction of comprehensive transposable element databases are essential for accurate annotation of genes and other genomic components, for investigation of potential functional interaction between transposable elements and genes, and for study of genome evolution. The recent availability of the soybean …

Cell-Type Specific Distribution Of Chloride Transporters In The Rat Suprachiasmatic Nucleus, Michael A. Belenky, Patricia J. Sollars, David B. Mount, Seth L. Alper, Yosef Yarom, Gary E. Pickard

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is a circadian oscillator and biological clock. Cell-to-cell communication is important for synchronization among SCN neuronal oscillators and the great majority of SCN neurons use γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a neurotransmitter, the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult central nervous system. Acting via the ionotropic GABAA receptor, a chloride ion channel, GABA typically evokes inhibitory responses in neurons via Cl− influx. Within the SCN GABA evokes both inhibitory and excitatory responses although the mechanism underlying GABA-evoked excitation in the SCN is unknown. GABA-evoked depolarization in immature neurons in several regions of the brain is a function …

Azi-Isoflurane, A Photolabel Analog Of The Commonly Used Inhaled General Anesthetic Isoflurane., Roderic G Eckenhoff, Jin Xi, Motomu Shimaoka, Aditya Bhattacharji, Manuel Covarrubias, William P Dailey

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

Volatility and low-affinity hamper an ability to define molecular targets of the inhaled anesthetics. Photolabels have proven to be a useful approach in this regard, although none have closely mimicked contemporary drugs. We report here the synthesis and validation of azi-isoflurane, a compound constructed by adding a diazirinyl moiety to the methyl carbon of the commonly used general anesthetic isoflurane. Azi-isoflurane is slightly more hydrophobic than isoflurane, and more potent in tadpoles. This novel compound inhibits Shaw2 K(+) channel currents similarly to isoflurane and binds to apoferritin with enhanced affinity. Finally, when irradiated at 300 nm, azi-isoflurane adducts to residues …

Structural Studies Of Bacterioferritin B From Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Suggest A Gating Mechanism For Iron Uptake Via The Ferroxidase Center, Saroja K. Weeratunga, Scott Lovell, Huili Yao, Kevin P. Battaile, Christopher J. Fischer, Casey E. Gee, Mario Rivera

Faculty Publications

The structure of recombinant Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterioferritin B (Pa BfrB) has been determined from crystals grown from protein devoid of core mineral iron (as-isolated) and from protein mineralized with ≃600 iron atoms (mineralized). Structures were also obtained from crystals grown from mineralized BfrB after they had been soaked in an FeSO4 solution (Fe soak) and in separate experiments after they had been soaked in an FeSO 4 solution followed by a soak in a crystallization solution (double soak). Although the structures consist of a typical bacterioferritin fold comprised of a nearly spherical 24-mer assembly that binds 12 heme molecules, comparison …

Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Lymphatic filariasis is a disabling and disfiguring disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted by a mosquito. The life cycle of the parasite requires two hosts: the mosquito vector and the human host. Part of the developmental life cycle of the parasite occurs in the mosquito and the other part in the human host. The parasite develops through four stages in the mosquito, only the last of which is infectious to humans. The third larval stage (L3) is the infective stage that initiates human infections when infective mosquitoes bite humans. There is currently a global program attempting to eliminate …

Impaired Geometric Reorientation Caused By Genetic Defect, Laura Lakusta, Banchiamlack Dessalegn, Barbara Landau

Department of Psychology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

The capacity to reorient in one's environment is a fundamental part of the spatial cognitive systems of both humans and nonhuman species. Abundant literature has shown that human adults and toddlers, rats, chicks, and fish accomplish reorientation through the construction and use of geometric representations of surrounding layouts, including the lengths of surfaces and their intersection. Does the development of this reorientation system rely on specific genes and their action in brain development? We tested reorientation in individuals who have Williams syndrome (WS), a genetic disorder that results in abnormalities of hippocampal and parietal areas of the brain known to …

Breast Cancer Risk Analysis And Computer-Aided Diagnosis, John J. Heine, Robert P. Velthuizen, Jerry Alan Thomas

USF Patents

The present invention is a method of determining breast cancer risk including the steps of establishing a risk probably value associated with a patient, the risk probability value calculated from an array of risk factors associated with breast cancer, applying a computer algorithm adapted to find abnormalities in the patient's mammogram, and increasing the tolerance level for false positive results in the computer algorithm responsive to a higher probability value associated with the patient and decreasing the tolerance level for false positive results in the computer algorithm responsive to a lower probability value associated with the patient.
