Contribution Of Non-Troglobiotic Terrestrial Invertebrates To Carbon Input In Hypogean Habitats, Tone Novak, Franc Janžekovič, Saška Lipovšek Jan 2013

Contribution Of Non-Troglobiotic Terrestrial Invertebrates To Carbon Input In Hypogean Habitats, Tone Novak, Franc Janžekovič, Saška Lipovšek

KIP Articles

Eleven of the most important terrestrial invertebrate species in Slovenian caves were analyzed for differences in their fresh and dry biomass, energy content and carbon bulk during winter. These data were combined with the species abundance in 54 caves and adits in order to estimate their organic carbon bulk and carbon input into these habitats. In Central European caves, Troglophilus cavicola, T. neglectus, Faustina illyrica, Amilenus aurantiacus and Scoliopteryx libatrix are the most important vectors of carbon between the epigean and hypogean habitats. In contrast to the general assumption, carbon total contribution to caves via dead bodies is only 0.15% …

Organic Matter Flux In The Epikarst Of The Dorvan Karst, France, Kevin S. Simon Jan 2013

Organic Matter Flux In The Epikarst Of The Dorvan Karst, France, Kevin S. Simon

KIP Articles

Availability of organic matter plays an important role in karst ecosystems. Somewhat surprisingly, study of the composition and distribution of organic matter in karst aquifers is rare. The most comprehensive study or organic matter flux to date is a two year continuous monitoring of detritus and animal flux in epikarst drip waters and an epikarst-fed cave stream in the Dorvan karst, France. Analysis of those data reveals high temporal variation in detritus and animal flux in both habitats, but little evidence of seasonality in flux. Water flux explained 30-69% of the variation in animal flux in both habitats and detritus …

Evaluation Of The Endocrine Response Of Cattle During The Relocation Process, S.M. Falkenberg, J.A. Carroll, D.H. Keisler, J.L. Sartin, T.H. Elsasser, J.O. Buntyn, P.R. Broadway, T.B. Schmidt Jan 2013

Evaluation Of The Endocrine Response Of Cattle During The Relocation Process, S.M. Falkenberg, J.A. Carroll, D.H. Keisler, J.L. Sartin, T.H. Elsasser, J.O. Buntyn, P.R. Broadway, T.B. Schmidt

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

To evaluate the endocrine responses associated with the relocation process, 22 Holstein heifers (326.4 ± 46.8 kg BW) were randomly assigned to control (CON) or relocation (RELOC) treatment groups. On d 0, heifers were weighed and fitted within dwelling rectal temperature (RT) monitoring devices and jugular catheters. On d 1, baseline blood samples were collected from all heifers for 2 h prior to the transportation event, then weighed. Controls were returned to tie stalls and RELOC were loaded into a modified stock trailer (12 individual stanchions) for a 4 h transportation event. Simultaneous blood samples were obtained at 30-min intervals …

Characterization Of Three Chlorella Sorokiniana Strains In Anaerobic Digested Effluent From Cattle Manure, Naoko Kobayashi, Eric A. Schacht, Austin Barnes, Andrea K. Watson, Julian N. Rosenberg, Galen Erickson, George A. Oyler

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Chlorella sorokiniana CS-01, UTEX 1230 and UTEX 2714 were maintained in 10% anaerobic digester effluent (ADE) from cattle manure digestion and compared with algal cultivation in Bold’s Basal Medium (BBM). Biomass of CS-01 and UTEX 1230 in ADE produced similar or greater than 280 mg/L after 21 days in BBM, however, UTEX 2714 growth in ADE was suppressed by more than 50% demonstrating a significant species bias to synthetic compared to organic waste-based media. The highest accumulation of protein and starch was exhibited in UTEX 1230 in ADE yielding 34% and 23% ash free dry weight (AFDW), respectively, though fatty …

Bioinformatics Analysis Of Transcriptome Dynamics During Growth In Angus Cattle Longissimus Muscle, Sonia J. Moisa, Daniel W. Shike, Daniel E. Graugnard, Sandra L. Rodriquez-Zas, Robin E. Everts, Harris A. Lewin, Dan B. Faulkner, Larry L. Berger, Juan J. Loor Jan 2013

Bioinformatics Analysis Of Transcriptome Dynamics During Growth In Angus Cattle Longissimus Muscle, Sonia J. Moisa, Daniel W. Shike, Daniel E. Graugnard, Sandra L. Rodriquez-Zas, Robin E. Everts, Harris A. Lewin, Dan B. Faulkner, Larry L. Berger, Juan J. Loor

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Transcriptome dynamics in the longissimus muscle (LM) of young Angus cattle were evaluated at 0, 60, 120, and 220 days from early-weaning. Bioinformatic analysis was performed using the dynamic impact approach (DIA) by means of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) databases. Between 0 to 120 days (growing phase) most of the highly-impacted pathways (eg, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, drug metabolism, cytochrome P450 and Retinol metabolism) were inhibited. The phase between 120 to 220 days (finishing phase) was characterized by the most striking differences with 3,784 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). …

Wicking: A Rapid Method For Manually Inserting Ion Channels Into Planar Lipid Bilayers, Justin A. Costa, Dac A. Nguyen, Egdar Leal-Pinto, Ronald E. Gordon, Basil Hanss Jan 2013

Wicking: A Rapid Method For Manually Inserting Ion Channels Into Planar Lipid Bilayers, Justin A. Costa, Dac A. Nguyen, Egdar Leal-Pinto, Ronald E. Gordon, Basil Hanss

Physiology and Biophysics Publications and Presentations

The planar lipid bilayer technique has a distinguished history in electrophysiology but is arguably the most technically difficult and time-consuming method in the field. Behind this is a lack of experimental consistency between laboratories, the challenges associated with painting unilamellar bilayers, and the reconstitution of ion channels into them. While there has be a trend towards automation of this technique, there remain many instances where manual bilayer formation and subsequent membrane protein insertion is both required and advantageous. We have developed a comprehensive method, which we have termed “wicking”, that greatly simplifies many experimental aspects of the lipid bilayer system. …

The Future Of Family, Max D. Siegel Jan 2013

The Future Of Family, Max D. Siegel

Student Articles and Papers

The State organizes society into families, implicating and often ignoring various liberty and equality interests while fortifying a “traditional” family structure comprised of one man, one woman, and their mutually and exclusively conceived offspring. This structure has historically benefited the heterosexual elite within the United States, but modern advancements for sexual minorities suggest a new standard for State recognition of family. Queer liberation will erase the traditional family by rewriting its legal and social dimensions, resulting in laws and policies that track more closely with familial bonds outside a heteronormative, man-woman binary. This Article explores the ramifications of enhanced queer …

Lessons From A Plague, Max D. Siegel Jan 2013

Lessons From A Plague, Max D. Siegel

Student Articles and Papers

This Article argues that we ought to examine this country’s early AIDS crisis for lessons on addressing HIV in the twenty-first century and to improve the ongoing social movement of sexual minorities in the United States. In the 1980s and early 1990s, AIDS focused sexual minorities’ advocacy efforts as both liberationists working to deregulate sexuality and integrationists seeking entrance to heterosexual privilege recognized that their agendas needed to account for this new crisis. Over time, a liberationist response to AIDS emerged and dominated the social movement because sexual minorities needed to publicly defend their differences in order to stay alive. …

A Duty To Investigate Incidents Involving Collateral Damage And The United States Military's Practice, Michal Drabik Jan 2013

A Duty To Investigate Incidents Involving Collateral Damage And The United States Military's Practice, Michal Drabik

Minnesota Journal of International Law, Vols 1-28:1 (1992-2019)

It is generally believed that states do not have an obligation to investigate incidents involving collateral damage absent a suspicion that a grave breach of International Humanitarian Law (“IHL”) has occurred. This paper argues that, although there is no affirmative investigative duty expressed in any IHL treaty, a general duty to investigate is clearly implied by two requirements contained in IHL treaties: the duty to examine every incident that amounts to a grave breach and the duty to punish offenders who violate IHL provisions. As applied to the U.S. military, while this general investigative duty may at times prove troublesome, …

The Confrontation Clause And Forensic Autopsy Reports-A "Testimonial", 74 La. L. Rev. 117 (2013), Marc Ginsberg Jan 2013

The Confrontation Clause And Forensic Autopsy Reports-A "Testimonial", 74 La. L. Rev. 117 (2013), Marc Ginsberg

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

This Article examines the landscape of legal issues involved in determining whether the presence at trial of a surrogate pathologist, whose testimony refers to a forensic autopsy report prepared by the examining pathologist and provides the foundation for the admissibility of the forensic autopsy report, implicates the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment. This Article concludes that the practice of surrogate testimony and admission of the forensic autopsy report, well known and often required in criminal homicide prosecutions, implicates and violates the Confrontation Clause.

Self-Replicating Technologies And The Challenge For The Patent And Antitrust Laws, 32 Cardozo Arts & Ent. L.J. 131 (2013), Daryl Lim Jan 2013

Self-Replicating Technologies And The Challenge For The Patent And Antitrust Laws, 32 Cardozo Arts & Ent. L.J. 131 (2013), Daryl Lim

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

Few patented inventions challenge the traditional boundaries of the patent and antitrust laws like those that are capable of multiplying as they are used. These self-replicating technologies are embedded in our food, fortify our vaccines, and form the computer code upon which the information age is based. These inventions create an inherent conflict between patentees and their customers. The conflict arises because every customer could become competitors as the product replicates, potentially making every first sale the patentee's last. They also challenge how we think about fundamental issues of ownership as well as innovation and market competition, and make it …

The Locality Rule Lives! Why? Using Modern Medicine To Eradicate An “Unhealthy” Law, 61 Drake L. Rev. 321 (2013), Marc Ginsberg Jan 2013

The Locality Rule Lives! Why? Using Modern Medicine To Eradicate An “Unhealthy” Law, 61 Drake L. Rev. 321 (2013), Marc Ginsberg

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

The "locality rule" places a geographical dimension on the professional standard of care in medical negligence litigation. It requires the measurement of a physician's conduct by a standard focusing on the geographical location of the treatment provided. This Article traces the origin of the locality rule, discusses its related practical problems, focuses on the states in which it exists, suggests that the rule is archaic, and explains how modern medicine (undergraduate medical education, graduate medical education, state medical licensure, board certification, continuing medical education and practice guidelines) is well positioned to eradicate it.

Neuroscience, Mental Privacy, And The Law, Francis X. Shen Jan 2013

Neuroscience, Mental Privacy, And The Law, Francis X. Shen

Articles

Will brain science be used by the government to access the most private of spaces — our minds — against our wills? Such scientific tools would have tremendous privacy implications if the government suddenly used brain science to more effectively read minds during police interrogations, criminal trials, and even routine traffic stops. Pundits and scholars alike have thus explored the constitutional protections that citizens, defendants, and witnesses would require to be safe from such mind searching. Future-oriented thinking about where brain science may lead us can make for great entertainment and can also be useful for forward-thinking policy development. But …

The End Of Men Or The Rebirth Of Class?, June Carbone, Naomi Cahn Jan 2013

The End Of Men Or The Rebirth Of Class?, June Carbone, Naomi Cahn

Articles

This article argues that much of what has been described as “the end of men” is in fact the recreation of class. Greater inequality among men and among women has resurrected class differences and changed the way men and women relate to each other and channel resources to their children. While women have in fact gained ground in the workplace and acquired greater ability to live, work, play and raise children without men, a mere relative move towards sex equality only masks the more fundamental changes occurring in American society and the continuing existence of patriarchy. First, the improved freedom …
