Effective Treatment Of Esophogeal Adenocarcinoma Using Triciribine And Related Compounds, Jin Q. Cheng May 2012

Effective Treatment Of Esophogeal Adenocarcinoma Using Triciribine And Related Compounds, Jin Q. Cheng

USF Patents

The inventors have determined, contrary to the prior art and experience, how to successfully use triciribine to treat esophogeal adenocarcinoma by one or a combination of (i) administering triciribine only to patients which according to a diagnostic test described below, exhibit enhanced sensitivity to the drug; (ii) use of a described dosage level that minimizes the toxicity of the drug but yet still exhibits efficacy; or (iii) use of a described dosage regimen that minimizes the toxicity of the drug.


The Importance Of Isolated Wetlands As Habitat For Rare And Endangered Species In Comparison To Riparian Wetlands, Hillary K. Ballantine May 2012

The Importance Of Isolated Wetlands As Habitat For Rare And Endangered Species In Comparison To Riparian Wetlands, Hillary K. Ballantine

Honors Theses

In this paper, I will review the literature on the factors contributing to the presence of rare or endangered species, the species found in each wetland type and what threatens them, and the views on how to and why we should conserve these habitats. I will also provide data analyses on the importance of isolated wetlands as habitats for rare and endangered species in comparison to riparian wetlands, and present my own views on the topic.


Nicotine-Induced Neuroprotection In Drosophila Models Of Parkinson's Disease, Lynsey Deudne May 2012

Nicotine-Induced Neuroprotection In Drosophila Models Of Parkinson's Disease, Lynsey Deudne

Honors Theses

Parkinson's disease (PD) causes rigidity, tremors, and posture impairments. There is no cure for this disease and its symptoms intensify with age. In this study, fruit flies were induced with PD using rotenone and the flies in treatment group were provided with food that contained nicotine to determine if nicotine causes neuroprotection and alleviates symptoms of PD. A climbing assay was used to assess the severity of symptoms of PD in the control and experimental groups. The PD induced flies that received nicotine did not show a significant difference in motor ability and therefore did not experience neuroprotection.


Analysis Of The Response Of A Bromeliad, Vriesea Gigantea, Subjected To Drought, Taylor Epley May 2012

Analysis Of The Response Of A Bromeliad, Vriesea Gigantea, Subjected To Drought, Taylor Epley

Honors Theses

Drought can quickly alter physiological processes in plants not adapted to such conditions. Epiphytic plants, however, have been noted to have some tolerance to drought, which is evident in their water-holding tanks. Several physiological components were measured to determine if Vriesea gigantea, an epiphytic bromeliad, has drought tolerance. Water content, maximum quantum yield, protein concentration, and protein content were measured and compared between three control plants and three experimental plants, which were subjected to two weeks of no water. Water content showed a significant difference, indicating that the plants were being stressed compared to the control plants. The average maximum …


Of Mice And Mozart: Testing Spatial Reasoning And Memory Of Rats, Kaitlin O'Toole May 2012

Of Mice And Mozart: Testing Spatial Reasoning And Memory Of Rats, Kaitlin O'Toole

Honors Theses

An increase in spatial-temporal reasoning has been documented in the presence of Mozart's sonata K.448; this enhancement of physical and psychological activities is called the "Mozart Effect" (Hughes 2001). This effect has been recorded in humans and animals alike, and its influence reaches a myriad of applications including calming wild animals to increasing test scores in college students to lowering high blood pressure. Using a cheeseboard apparatus to test spatial reasoning in rats, this experiment recorded the results from maze tasks completed in the presence of sonata K.448 compared to trials completed in silence. Results showed a significant difference between …

From The Womb To The Tomb: The Role Of Transfers In Shaping The Evolved Human Life History, Michael Gurven, Jonathan Stieglitz, Paul L. Hooper, Cristina Gomes, Hillard Kaplan May 2012

From The Womb To The Tomb: The Role Of Transfers In Shaping The Evolved Human Life History, Michael Gurven, Jonathan Stieglitz, Paul L. Hooper, Cristina Gomes, Hillard Kaplan

ESI Publications

Humans are the longest living and slowest growing of all primates. Although most primates are social, humans are highly cooperative and social in ways that likely co-evolved with the slow human life history. In this paper we highlight the role of resource transfers and non-material assistance within and across generations in shaping low human mortality rates. The use of complex cooperative strategies to minimize risk is a necessary precursor for selecting further reductions in mortality rate in late adulthood. In conjunction with changes in the age-profile of production, the impacts of resource transfers and other forms of cooperation on reducing …

On The Growth And Exploitation Pattern Effects On The Recuperation From Overfishing Of The Red Snapper, Lutjanus Campechanus, In The Gulf Of Mexico., Vallierre K. W. Deleveaux May 2012

On The Growth And Exploitation Pattern Effects On The Recuperation From Overfishing Of The Red Snapper, Lutjanus Campechanus, In The Gulf Of Mexico., Vallierre K. W. Deleveaux

Open Access Dissertations

The red snapper stock in the Gulf of Mexico has been classified as severely overfished, and overfishing continues, therefore several management actions have been imposed on the Gulf red snapper fishery, including closed seasons, quotas and minimum sizes. For this reason the red snapper is often referred to as one of the most intensively managed stocks in the United States. A recovery plan for red snapper, which includes a reduction of the shrimp bycatch mortality to 50% of the 2001-2003 level, had been established so that a 20% SPR would be attained by the year 2032. Due to the very …

Connie And Anthony's Trip To Bethlehem Farm, University Of Dayton May 2012

Connie And Anthony's Trip To Bethlehem Farm, University Of Dayton

Blog Archive: River Reflections at the University of Dayton

For us two River Stewards, the previous week has been filled with great adventure and new experiences. Together, along with three other students from UD, we traveled all the way to Bethlehem Farm in Pence Springs, West Virginia. Over our week-long stay we immersed ourselves in their environmentally conscious lifestyle. Bethlehem Farm is a sustainably run homestead that is the base for a small charity-driven home repair program. The caretakers tend to chickens, donkeys, a horse, a pig, and a plethora of produce to sustain their lifestyle. A while back, the caretakers expressed interest in having volunteers from the ETHOS …

Shoc2 Is Targeted To Late Endosomes And Required For Erk1/2 Activation In Egf-Stimulated Cells, Emilia Galperin, Lina Abdelmoti, Alexander Sorkin May 2012

Shoc2 Is Targeted To Late Endosomes And Required For Erk1/2 Activation In Egf-Stimulated Cells, Emilia Galperin, Lina Abdelmoti, Alexander Sorkin

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Faculty Publications

Shoc2 is the putative scaffold protein that interacts with RAS and RAF, and positively regulates signaling to extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). To elucidate the mechanism by which Shoc2 regulates ERK1/2 activation by the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR), we studied subcellular localization of Shoc2. Upon EGFR activation, endogenous Shoc2 and red fluorescent protein tagged Shoc2 were translocated from the cytosol to a subset of late endosomes containing Rab7. The endosomal recruitment of Shoc2 was blocked by overexpression of a GDP-bound H-RAS (N17S) mutant and RNAi knockdown of clathrin, suggesting the requirement of RAS activity and …
