Models, Scientific Realism, The Intelligibility Of Nature, And Their Cultural Significance, M.H.S. Abdul Murad Jan 2011

Models, Scientific Realism, The Intelligibility Of Nature, And Their Cultural Significance, M.H.S. Abdul Murad

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

In this article, I will view realist and non-realist accounts of scientific models within the larger context of the cultural significance of scientific knowledge. I begin by looking at the historical context and origins of the problem of scientific realism, and claim that it is originally of cultural and not only philosophical, significance. The cultural significance of debates on the epistemological status of scientific models is then related to the question of ‘intelligibility’ and how science, through models, can give us knowledge of the world by presenting us with an ‘intelligible account/picture of the world’, thus fulfilling its cultural-epistemic role. …

Greening World Trade: The Malaysian Perspective On Emerging Issues And Policy Responses, E.S. Devadason, S. Chenayah Jan 2011

Greening World Trade: The Malaysian Perspective On Emerging Issues And Policy Responses, E.S. Devadason, S. Chenayah

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

The rising environmental trade barriers (ETBs), emanating largely from developed countries has affected the export interests of developing economies. Much contention remains that ETBs are a merely a guise for protectionism instead of reflecting green concerns as the associated costs for compliance can be prohibitive for developing countries. For a small but trade-dependent economy like Malaysia, environmental measures such as product standards and eco-labeling pose threats in terms of market access and industrial competitiveness. This paper addresses the emerging ETBs that have a direct bearing on Malaysia's exports and the policy actions taken in responding to the environmental challenge.

Genetic Modulation Of Horizontal Cell Number In The Mouse Retina, Irene Whitney, Mary Raven, Daniel Ciobanu, Ross Poché, Qian Ding, Yasser Elshatory, Lin Gan, Robert Williams, Benjamin Reese

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Neuronal populations display conspicuous variability in their size among individuals, but the genetic sources of this variation are largely undefined. We demonstrate a large and highly heritable variation in neuron number within the mouse retina, affecting a critical population of interneurons, the horizontal cells. Variation in the size of this population maps to the distal end of chromosome (Chr) 13, a region homologous to human Chr 5q11.1–11.2. This region contains two genes known to modulate retinal cell number. Using conditional knock-out mice, we demonstrate that one of these genes, the LIM homeodomain gene Islet-1 (Isl1), plays a role …

Obesity-Mediated Inflammatory Microenvironment Stimulates Osteoclastogenesis And Bone Loss In Mice, Ganesh V. Halade, Amina El Jamali, Paul J. Williams, Roberto J. Fajardo, Gabriel Fernandes

Internal Medicine Faculty Publications

Clinical evidence indicates that fat is inversely proportional to bone mass in elderly obese women. However, it remains unclear whether obesity accelerates bone loss. In this report we present evidence that increased visceral fat leads to inflammation and subsequent bone loss in 12-month-old C57BL/6J mice that were fed 10% corn oil (CO)-based diet and a control lab chow (LC) for 6. months. As expected from our previous work, CO-fed mice demonstrated increased visceral fat and enhanced total body fat mass compared to LC. The adipocyte-specific PPARγ and bone marrow (BM) adiposity were increased in CO-fed mice. In correlation with those …
