Art Concept Pluralism, P.D. Magnus, Christy Mag Uidhir Jan 2011

Art Concept Pluralism, P.D. Magnus, Christy Mag Uidhir

Philosophy Faculty Scholarship

There is a long tradition of trying to analyze art either by providing a definition (essentialism) or by tracing its contours as an indefinable, open concept (antiessentialism). Both art essentialists and art anti-essentialists share an implicit assumption of art concept monism. We argue that this is a mistake. Species concept pluralism, a well-explored position in philosophy of biology, provides a model for art concept pluralism. We explore the conditions under which concept pluralism is appropriate, and we argue that they obtain for art. Art concept pluralism allows us to recognize that different art concepts are useful for different purposes, and …

The Hemocompatibility Of A Nitric Oxide Generating Polymer That Catalyzes S-Nitrosothiol Decomposition In An Extracorporeal Circulation Model, Terry C. Major, David O. Brant, Charles P. Burney, Kagya Amoako, Gail M. Annich, Mark E. Meyerhoff, Hitesh Handa, Robert E. Bartlett

Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Faculty Publications

Nitric oxide (NO) generating (NOGen) materials have been shown previously to create localized increases in NO concentration by the catalytic decomposition of blood S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) via copper (Cu)-containing polymer coatings and may improve extracorporeal circulation (ECC) hemocompatibility. In this work, a NOGen polymeric coating composed of a Cuo-nanoparticle (80 nm)-containing hydrophilic polyurethane (SP-60D-60) combined with the intravenous infusion of an RSNO, S- nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), is evaluated in a 4 h rabbit thrombogenicity model and the anti-thrombotic mechanism is investigated. Polymer films containing 10 wt.% Cuo-nanoparticles coated on the inner walls of ECC circuits are employed concomitantly with systemic SNAP administration …

Evaluation Of In-Vitro Antibiotic Susceptibility Of Different Morphological Forms Of Borrelia Burgdorferi, Eva Sapi, Navroop Kaur, Samuel Anyanwu, David Luecke, Akshita Datar, Seema Patel, Michael J. Rossi, Raphael B. Stricker Jan 2011

Evaluation Of In-Vitro Antibiotic Susceptibility Of Different Morphological Forms Of Borrelia Burgdorferi, Eva Sapi, Navroop Kaur, Samuel Anyanwu, David Luecke, Akshita Datar, Seema Patel, Michael J. Rossi, Raphael B. Stricker

Biology and Environmental Science Faculty Publications

Background: Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Although antibiotic therapy is usually effective early in the disease, relapse may occur when administration of antibiotics is discontinued. Studies have suggested that resistance and recurrence of Lyme disease might be due to formation of different morphological forms of B. burgdorferi, namely round bodies (cysts) and biofilm-like colonies. Better understanding of the effect of antibiotics on all morphological forms of B. burgdorferi is therefore crucial to provide effective therapy for Lyme disease. Methods: Three morphological forms of B. burgdorferi (spirochetes, round bodies, and biofilmlike colonies) were generated …

Intermediate Frequency Ac Signal Analysis For Bionanosensor, Veshal Desai, Srisowmya Sanisetty, Benjamin Steber, Eva Sapi, Bouzid Aliane, Saion K. Sinha, Prabir Patra Jan 2011

Intermediate Frequency Ac Signal Analysis For Bionanosensor, Veshal Desai, Srisowmya Sanisetty, Benjamin Steber, Eva Sapi, Bouzid Aliane, Saion K. Sinha, Prabir Patra

Biology and Environmental Science Faculty Publications

Nanobiosensors are devices which incorporate nanomaterials to detect miniscule quantities of biological and chemical agents. The authors have already developed a novel bionanosensor (BNS) for quick, efficient, and precise detection of bacterial pathogens using the principles of CNT-DNA interaction and DNA hybridization. The detection ability of the (BNS) was observed to be independent of the device resistance. Two new methods (low-pass filter (LPF) and curve fitting (CF)) were developed for better analysis of the BNS. These methods successfully model the BNS. Evidence is provided to elucidate the success of the model, which can explain the DNA hybridization on the sensor …

Identifying Resiliency Factors In Commercially Sexually Exploited And Trafficked Youth: A Qualitative Study, Pamela Gutherie Jan 2011

Identifying Resiliency Factors In Commercially Sexually Exploited And Trafficked Youth: A Qualitative Study, Pamela Gutherie

Selected Full Text Dissertations, 2011-

Although exact numbers are unknown, the largest prevalence study to date has estimated that between 1999-2000 alone a minimum of 244,000 children were at risk for being commercially sexually exploited in the United States, a number based on findings that approximately 70% of street youth and 30% of shelter youth engage in survival sex (Estes & Weiner, 2001). The consequences of commercial sexual exploitation can be devastating and range from mental and physical health problems, substance abuse, physical and sexual violence to death (Kramer & Berg, 2003). While some risk factors have been identified, with childhood sexual abuse being the …

Measuring The Impact Of Biostatistical Methods On General Medical Research, Paul J. Nietert, Amy E. Wahlquist, Teri Lynn Herbert Jan 2011

Measuring The Impact Of Biostatistical Methods On General Medical Research, Paul J. Nietert, Amy E. Wahlquist, Teri Lynn Herbert

MUSC Department of Public Health Sciences Working Papers

Background: Novel statistical methods are constantly being developed within the context of biomedical research; however, the rate of diffusion of this knowledge into the field of general / internal medicine is unclear. This study highlights the statistical journal articles, the statistical journals, and the statistical methods that appear to be having the most direct impact on research in the field of general / internal medicine. Methods: Descriptive techniques, including analyses of articles’ keywords and controlled vocabulary terms, were used to characterize the articles published in statistics and probability journals that were subsequently referenced within general / internal medicine journal articles …

Prospective Surveillance Of Multivariate Spatial Disease Data, A. Corberan-Vallet, A. B. Lawson Jan 2011

Prospective Surveillance Of Multivariate Spatial Disease Data, A. Corberan-Vallet, A. B. Lawson

MUSC Department of Public Health Sciences Working Papers

Surveillance systems are often focused on more than one disease within a predefined area. On those occasions when outbreaks of disease are likely to be correlated, the use of multivariate surveillance techniques integrating information from multiple diseases allows us to improve the sensitivity and timeliness of outbreak detection. In this paper, we present an extension of the surveillance conditional predictive ordinate to monitor multivariate spatial disease data. The proposed surveillance technique, which is defined for each small area and time period as the conditional predictive distribution of those counts of disease higher than expected given the data observed up to …

Flow In Culverts As A Potential Mechanism Of Stream Fragmentation For Native And Non-Indigenous Crayfish Species, Troy Keller Jan 2011

Flow In Culverts As A Potential Mechanism Of Stream Fragmentation For Native And Non-Indigenous Crayfish Species, Troy Keller

Faculty Bibliography

Habitat fragmentation and nonindigenous species are 2 of the leading causes of species loss globally. Thus, scientific information is needed to assess their interactive effects on the biota of lotic ecosystems. We tested the hypothesis that culverts (i.e., pipes) at road–stream intersections elevate flow velocities and differentially slow upstream locomotion of native relative to nonindigenous crayfishes. We: 1) mapped culvert locations and measured their flow; 2) quantified movement of Orconectes propinquus (native) in culverts with velocities of 2, 31, and 42 cm/s; 3) compared the movement of Orconectes rusticus (nonindigenous), O. propinquus, and Orconectes virilis (native) in a culvert with …

During the fall of 2011, the Colby Environmental Assessment Team (CEAT) studied the Serpentine connecting East Pond and North Pond. East and North Ponds are members of the larger seven-lake system known as the Belgrade Lakes, located in central Maine. There are over 5,500 lakes in Maine that contribute $6.7 billion to the economy annually through activities including boating, fishing, swimming etc. Additionally, Maine’s lakes are sources of municipal and agricultural water, act as flood buffers, and host a wide range of plant, animal, and fish life. Lakes in Maine are a crucial part society and should be studied and …

Testing The Potential Of Using Fungi To Convert Human Waste Into Protein, Alex Zapata, Elizabeth Phillippi, Blair Mitchell, Jon Schoer, Michael K. Watters Jan 2011

Testing The Potential Of Using Fungi To Convert Human Waste Into Protein, Alex Zapata, Elizabeth Phillippi, Blair Mitchell, Jon Schoer, Michael K. Watters

Biology Faculty Presentations

We report on the results of a pilot experiment designed to test the potential of filamentous fungi (mold) to reduce solid waste (feces) while converting it into a consumable, high protein food product. Feces represent an untapped resource. Filamentous fungi are natural decomposers with the ability to use this resource. Many filamentous fungi are safe to eat. We examined growth in order to determine the conditions which maximized the rate of conversion of solid waste into fungal biomass. For this pilot, we compared the effect of different lengths of incubation, different methods of aeration, and different available surface area. The …
