Age Of Barrier Canyon-Style Rock Art Constrained By Cross-Cutting Relations And Luminescence Dating Techniques, Joel L. Pederson, Harriet Cornachione, Steven R. Simms, Reza Sohbati, Tammy M. Rittenour, Andrew S. Murray, Gary Cox

Geosciences Faculty Publications

Rock art compels interest from both researchers and a broader public, inspiring many hypotheses about its cultural origin and meaning, but it is notoriously difficult to date numerically. Barrier Canyon-style (BCS) pictographs of the Colorado Plateau are among the most debated examples; hypotheses about its age span the entire Holocene epoch and previous attempts at direct radiocarbon dating have failed. We provide multiple age constraints through the use of cross-cutting relations and new and broadly applicable approaches in optically stimulated luminescence dating at the Great Gallery panel, the type section of BCS art in Canyonlands National Park, southeastern Utah. Alluvial …

A Rational Framework For Evaluating The Next Generation Of Vaccines Against Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis, John P. Bannantine, Murray E. Hines Ii, Luiz E. Bermudez, Adel M.

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

Since the early 1980s, several investigations have focused on developing a vaccine against Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), the causative agent of Johne's disease in cattle and sheep. These studies used whole-cell inactived vaccines that have proven useful in limiting disease progression, but have not prevented infection. In contrast, modified live vaccines that invoke a Th1 type immune response, may improve protection against infection. Spurred by recent advances in the ability to create defined knockouts in MAP, several independent laboratories have developed modified live vaccine candidates by transcriptional mutation of virulence and metablolic genes in MAP. In order to accelerate …

Evidence For Transfer Of Membranes From Mesenchymal Stem Cells To Hl-1 Cardiac Cells, Robert A. Boomsa, David L. Geenen

Peer Reviewed Articles

This study examined the interaction of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) with cardiac HL-1 cells during coculture by fluorescent dye labeling and then flow cytometry. MSC were layered onto confluent HL-1 cell cultures in a 1 : 4 ratio. MSC gained gap junction permeant calcein from HL-1 cells after 4 hours which was partially reduced by oleamide. After 20 hours, 99% MSC gained calcein, unaffected by oleamide. Double-labeling HL-1 cells with calcein and the membrane dye DiO resulted in transfer of both calcein and DiO to MSC. When HL-1 cells were labeled with calcein and MSC with DiO, …

Method Of Myelinating Isolated Motoneurons, James Hickman

UCF Patents

One of the most significant interactions between Schwann cells and neurons is myelin sheath formation. Myelination is a vertebrate adaptation that enables rapid conduction of action potentials without a commensurate increase in axon diameter. In vitro neuronal systems provide a unique modality to study both factors influencing myelination and diseases associated with myelination. Currently, no in vitro system for motoneuron myelination by Schwann cells has been demonstrated. This work details the myelination of motoneuron axons by Schwann cells, with complete node of Ranvier formation, in a defined in vitro culture system. This defined system utilizes a novel serum-free medium in …

Simulation Tools, Trainers, Systems And Methods For Trauma Assessment And Tourniquet Training Applications, Todd Lazarus, Glenn Martin

UCF Patents

Simple Tourniquet Application Trainer (STAT) was a proposed haptic device that would allow students to practice tourniquet application and provide realistic torque (pressure) needed in applying a tourniquet to an arm or leg in order to control arterial bleeding. This design has become a Extremities - Multiple Application Trainer (E - MAT) in that it can be used to asses compression bandages, check the pulse condition to administer intravenous fluids and start an actual IV port and tourniquet application of three basic body types; petite, average, and large. This design will incorporate several key pieces of hardware that can discern …

Unbiased Analysis Of Pancreatic Cancer Radiation Resistance Reveals Cholesterol Biosynthesis As A Novel Target For Radiosensitisation., Joshua J. Souchek, Michael J. Baine, Chi Lin, Satyanarayana Rachagani, Suprit Gupta, Sukhwinder Kaur, K Lester, D Zheng, S Chen, Lynette Smith, A Lazenby, Sonny L. Johansson, Maneesh Jain, Surinder K. Batra

BACKGROUND: Despite its promise as a highly useful therapy for pancreatic cancer (PC), the addition of external beam radiation therapy to PC treatment has shown varying success in clinical trials. Understanding PC radioresistance and discovery of methods to sensitise PC to radiation will increase patient survival and improve quality of life. In this study, we identified PC radioresistance-associated pathways using global, unbiased techniques.

METHODS: Radioresistant cells were generated by sequential irradiation and recovery, and global genome cDNA microarray analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes in radiosensitive and radioresistant cells. Ingenuity pathway analysis was performed to discover cellular pathways …

The Contributions Of Donald Lee Johnson To Understanding The Quaternary Geologic And Biogeographic History Of The California Channel Islands, Daniel R. Muhs

Monographs of the Western North American Naturalist

Over a span of 50 years, native Californian Donald Lee Johnson made a number of memorable contributions to our understanding of the California Channel Islands. Among these are (1) recognizing that carbonate dunes, often cemented into eolianite and derived from offshore shelf sediments during lowered sea level, are markers of glacial periods on the Channel Islands; (2) identifying beach rock on the Channel Islands as the northernmost occurrence of this feature on the Pacific Coast of North America; (3) recognizing of the role of human activities in historic landscape modification; (4) identifying both the biogenic and pedogenic origins of caliche …

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Facilitates Cognitive Multi-Task Performance Differentially Depending On Anode Location And Subtask, Melissa Scheldrup, Pamela M. Greenwood, Ryan Mckendrick, Jon Strohl, Marom Bikson, Mahtab Alam, R. Andy Mckinley, Raja Parasuraman

Publications and Research

There is a need to facilitate acquisition of real world cognitive multi-tasks that require long periods of training (e.g., air traffic control, intelligence analysis, medicine). Non-invasive brain stimulation—specifically transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)—has promise as a method to speed multi-task training. We hypothesized that during acquisition of the complex multi-task Space Fortress, subtasks that require focused attention on ship control would benefit from tDCS aimed at the dorsal attention network while subtasks that require redirection of attention would benefit from tDCS aimed at the right hemisphere ventral attention network. We compared effects of 30 min prefrontal and parietal stimulation to …

Ergovaline Stability In Tall Fescue Based On Sample Handling And Storage Methods, Krista La Moen Lea, Lori Smith, Cynthia Gaskill, Robert Coleman, S. Ray Smith

Plant and Soil Sciences Faculty Publications

Ergovaline is an ergot alkaloid produced by the endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum (Morgan-Jones and Gams) found in tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinacea (Schreb.) Dumort.] and blamed for a multitude of livestock disorders. Ergovaline is known to be unstable and affected by many variables. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of sample handling and storage on the stability of ergovaline in tall fescue samples. Fresh tall fescue was collected from a horse farm in central Kentucky at three harvest dates and transported on ice to the University of Kentucky Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. Plant material was frozen in liquid …

Everything Is Related, Neal Deroo

Faculty Work Comprehensive List

"Creation is the ultimate act of divine revelation. And that revelation requires both the ‘natural’ world and the products of human culture. Humans are not (just) the audience to whom God is revealed, we are part of the very picture of revelation itself. Humans are necessarily and essentially part of the created realm."

Posting about the big picture of creation from In All Things - an online hub committed to the claim that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ has implications for the entire world.
