The Modulation Of Trpm7 Currents By Nafamostat Mesilate Depends Directly Upon Extracellular Concentrations Of Divalent Cations, Xuanmao Chen, Tomohiro Numata, Minghua Li, Yasuo Mori, Beverley A. Orser, Michael F. Jackson, Zhi-Gang Xiong, John F. Macdonald
Molecular, Cellular & Biomedical Sciences
Concentrations of extracellular divalent cations (Ca2+ and Mg2+) fall substantially during intensive synaptic transmission as well as during some pathophysiological conditions such as epilepsy and brain ischemia. Here we report that a synthetic serine protease inhibitor, nafamostat mesylate (NM), and several of its analogues, block recombinant TRPM7 currents expressed in HEK293T cells in inverse relationship to the concentration of extracellular divalent cations. Lowering extracellular Ca2+ and Mg2+ also evokes a divalent-sensitive non-selective cation current that is mediated by TRPM7 expression in hippocampal neurons. In cultured hippocampal neurons, NM blocked these TRPM7-mediated currents with an apparent affinity of 27 μM, as …

Use Of Wireline Logs To Estimate Strength Of Cap-Rock Lithologies, Elizabeth S. Petrie, James P. Evans
Use Of Wireline Logs To Estimate Strength Of Cap-Rock Lithologies, Elizabeth S. Petrie, James P. Evans
Graduate Student Posters
The characterization of rock strength for cap rock, low-permeability and high capillary entry pressure, lithologies is important for modeling their response to increased fluid pressures in CO2 sequestration schemes and other geo-engineering operations such as waste disposal and recovery of fluids from plays with insufficient permeability. We investigate Mesozoic fine-grained sequences to evaluate the nature of sedimentological and structural processes that may control the nature of brittle deformation observed in these sequences. To characterize these fine-grained sequences we use a combination of data obtained from outcrop, including fracture orientation and density, lithologic stacking patterns, grain-size distributions and mineralogy to predict …

Community-Based Monitoring Of Tigers In Nepal, Teri Allendorf, Bhim Gurung, J. L. David Smith
HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies
Local citizens recruited and trained as bagh heralu (“tiger watchers”) helped us to collect information on the distribution of tiger throughout the Terai of Nepal. While the ultimate goal of the bagh heralu program was to map the current metapopulation of tigers in Nepal and to determine extent of breeding outside protected areas, the bagh heralu approach was useful not only because it facilitated data collection but also because it enhanced conservation efforts in multiple ways.Over the five years of the program, bagh heralu became knowledgeable about basic tiger biology and they became recognized in their communities as local tiger …

Reference Priors For Exponential Families With Increasing Dimension, Bertrand Clarke, Subhashis Ghosal
Reference Priors For Exponential Families With Increasing Dimension, Bertrand Clarke, Subhashis Ghosal
Department of Statistics: Faculty Publications
In this article, we establish the asymptotic normality of the posterior distribution for the natural parameter in an exponential family based on independent and identically distributed data. The mode of convergence is expected Kullback-Leibler distance and the number of parameters p is increasing with the sample size n. Using this, we give an asymptotic expansion of the Shannon mutual information valid when p = pm increases at a sufficiently slow rate. The second term in the asymptotic expansion is the largest term that depends on the prior and can be optimized to give Jeffrey's prior as the reference prior in …

Machiguenga Mobilization In The Peruvian Amazon: An Analysis Of Comaru As An Effective Change Agent, Casey Shannon Harrington
Geography Capstone Projects
COMARU (Consejo Machiguenga del Río Urubamba) is an indigenous organization that promotes the rights of thirty native Amazonian communities in the face of the Camisea Project, a massive natural gas extraction project. The state has consistently ignored negative health, environmental, and cultural impacts from five spills that have occurred in the natural gas pipeline, and the communities the right of consultation granted to them in the International Labor Organization’s Convention 169. This paper, using interviews with Machiguenga community members and COMARU leadership in addition to political ecology scholarship, analyzes the success of COMARU’s politicized and depoliticized strategies. Through the use …

Corrosion Assessment Of Carbon Steel In Thailand By Atmospheric Corrosion Monitoring (Acm) Sensors, W Pongsaksawad, E Viyanit, S Sorachot, T Shinohara
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
Atmospheric corrosion of metal depends on material compositions, weather condition (dry, dew, and rain period), temperature, relative humidity, and airborne sea salt of specific location. General testing procedure to obtain the corrosion rate is by actual exposure test of the specimen panels based on time interval plan. In Japan, atmospheric corrosion monitoring (ACM) sensor, made of an iron-silver galvanic couple, has been developed and used to sense the corrosivity in terms of galvanic current. Under some atmospheric conditions, these data can be converted to time of wetness and related to the corrosion rate of carbon steel. With ACM sensors, it …

The Impact Of Content Courses On Pre-Service Elementary Teachers’ Mathematical Content Knowledge, Michael Matthews, Janice Rech, Neal Grandgenett
The Impact Of Content Courses On Pre-Service Elementary Teachers’ Mathematical Content Knowledge, Michael Matthews, Janice Rech, Neal Grandgenett
Teacher Education Faculty Publications
In response to research documenting the mathematical deficiencies of pre-service elementary teachers, many teacher preparation programs are requiring mathematical content courses specifically focusing on the mathematics taught at the elementary level. This study considers what impact two such courses (one course focusing on Arithmetic, and the other course focusing on Geometry and Measurement) had on the mathematical content knowledge and attitude towards mathematics by comparing a group of pre-service elementary teachers who took these courses to a group of pre-service elementary teachers who took only a more general mathematics course (such as College Algebra). Results indicated that those teachers who …

Parking Management For Silicon Valley–A Guide For Planners, Decision Makers, And The General Public, Tracy Wang
Master's Theses
The crisis of climate change has jumpstarted a renewed interest in environmental sustainability. The growing awareness of the problem and the ensuing intense search for solutions called for a scrutinizing reexamination of the relationships between transportation, land use, and greenhouse gas emissions. Major publications such as The High Cost of Free Parking by Donald Shoup in 2005, and Parking Management, Strategies, Evaluation and Planning by Todd Litman in 2008, have identified parking as a crucial link. Parking issues are intrinsic to planning because parking facilities are a major land use type that affects how we design and build our commercial …

Analysis Of A Database Insider Threat Model, Andrea Samuel
Analysis Of A Database Insider Threat Model, Andrea Samuel
Computer Science and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
According to Silicon.com's CIO Insight - Beware the Insider Security Threat, insiders are bigger threats to corporate security than external threats such as denial of service attacks or malware. Statistics show that 70% of fraud is perpetrated by staff and that the main data security threat comes from poorly trained or disgruntled employees who are authorized to have access to data and file stores [4]. This research project focuses specifically on the problem of insider threat in relational database systems. The project involves simulating research conducted in Qussai Yaseen and Brajendra Panda's research paper, Predicting and Preventing Insider Threat in …
