Fearless Friday: Marli Horwitz, Christina L. Bassler

SURGE

Over three and a half million people will have experienced homelessness in the past year- an overwhelming and disheartening statistic. For this week’s Fearless Friday, we highlight Marli Horwitz, who has courageously dedicated herself to debunking stereotypes, increasing awareness, and taking action towards ending homelessness. As program coordinator of D.C. Outfitters, she has led many trips to public parks in D.C., provided toiletries and clothing to people experiencing homelessness, and has planned two successful Homelessness Awareness Weeks.

Spontaneous Asj-2j Mutant Mouse As A Model For Generalized Arterial Calcification Of Infancy: A Large Deletion/Insertion Mutation In The Enpp1 Gene., Qiaoli Li, C Herbert Pratt, Louise A Dionne, Heather Fairfield, Son Yong Karst, John P Sundberg, Jouni Uitto, Yin Tintut

Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology Faculty Papers

Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI), an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ENPP1 gene, manifests with extensive mineralization of the cardiovascular system. The affected individuals in most cases die within the first year of life, and there is currently no effective treatment for this disorder. In this study, we characterized a spontaneous mutant mouse, asj-2J, as a model for GACI. These mice were identified as part of a phenotypic deviant search in a large-scale production colony of BALB/cJ mice at The Jackson Laboratory. They demonstrated a characteristic gait due to stiffening of the joints, with phenotypic similarity …

Design, Assessment, And In Vivo Evaluation Of A Computational Model Illustrating The Role Of Cav1 In Cd4+ T-Lymphocytes, Brittany D. Conroy, Tyler A. Herek, Timonthy D. Shew, Matthew Latner, Joshua J. Larson, Laura Allen, Paul H. Davis, Tomáš Helikar, Christine E. Cutucache

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a vital scaffold protein heterogeneously expressed in both healthy and malignant tissue. We focus on the role of CAV1 when overexpressed in T-cell leukemia. Previously, we have shown that CAV1 is involved in cell-to-cell communication, cellular proliferation, and immune synapse formation; however, the molecular mechanisms have not been elucidated.We hypothesize that the role of CAV1 in immune synapse formation contributes to immune regulation during leukemic progression, thereby warranting studies of the role of CAV1 in CD4⁺ T-cells in relation to antigen-presenting cells. To address this need, we developed a computational model of a CD4⁺ immune …

Sensory Abnormalities In Focal Hand Dystonia And Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation, Angelo Quartarone, Vincenzo Rizzo, Carmen Terranova, Demetrio Milardi, Daniele Bruschetta, Maria Felice Ghilardi, Paolo Girlanda

Publications and Research

It has been proposed that synchronous and convergent afferent input arising from repetitive motor tasks may play an important role in driving the maladaptive cortical plasticity seen in focal hand dystonia (FHD).This hypothesis receives support from several sources. First, it has been reported that in subjects with FHD, paired associative stimulation produces an abnormal increase in corticospinal excitability, which was not confined to stimulated muscles. These findings provide support for the role of excessive plasticity in FHD. Second, the genetic contribution to the dystonias is increasingly recognized indicating that repetitive, stereotyped afferent inputs may lead to late-onset dystonia, such as …

Large Eddy Simulation Of Sediment Transport Over Rippled Beds, J. C. Harris, Stephan Grilli

Graduate School of Oceanography Faculty Publications

Wave-induced boundary layer (BL) flows over sandy rippled bottoms are studied using a numerical model that applies a one-way coupling of a "far-field" inviscid flow model to a "near-field" large eddy simulation (LES) Navier–Stokes (NS) model. The incident inviscid velocity and pressure fields force the LES, in which near-field, wave-induced, turbulent bottom BL flows are simulated. A sediment suspension and transport model is embedded within the coupled flow model. The numerical implementation of the various models has been reported elsewhere, where we showed that the LES was able to accurately simulate both mean flow and turbulent statistics for oscillatory BL …

Improved Upper Limits On The Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background From 2009-2010 Ligo And Virgo Data, Tiffany Summerscales, Ligo And Virgo Collaboration

Faculty Publications

Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughout the history of the Universe that is unavailable through standard electromagnetic observations, making its study of fundamental importance to understanding the evolution of the Universe. We carry out a search for the stochastic background with the latest data from the LIGO and Virgo detectors. Consistent with predictions from most stochastic gravitational-wave background models, the data display no evidence of a stochastic gravitational-wave signal. Assuming a gravitational-wave spectrum of ΩGW(f)=Ωα(f/fref)α, we place 95% confidence level …

Tuberculosis Interferon-Gamma Responses In The Breast Milk Of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infected Mothers, Lisa Cranmer, Mercy Kanyugo, Barbara Lohman-Payne, Ken Tapia, Grace John-Stewart

Institute for Immunology and Informatics Faculty Publications

Tuberculosis (TB) cellular immune responses were examined in breastmilk of HIV-infected mothers using the T-SPOT.TB interferon gamma release assay (IGRA). Positive TB IFN-γ responses were detected in 6 of 8 (75%) valid breast milk assays. Among 7 mothers with paired breastmilk and blood assays, TB IFN- γ responses were higher in breastmilk compared to blood (p=.02). The magnitude of TB IFN-γ responses in maternal breastmilk and blood were correlated. Elucidating the influence of breastmilk TB immune responses on infant TB susceptibility and immunity may inform future maternal TB vaccine strategies.

Goliath Vs. 24 Davids: Federalism And Legal Marijuana, J. Herbie Difonzo, Ruth C. Stern

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

In recent years popular sentiment – on issues like marriage equality and legalization of medical marijuana – has molded law and policy in its own image. On the horizon is growing support for physician aid in dying and a deeper personal stake in end of life decisions. Each of these initiatives has been cultivated at the state level, often in the face of rigid federal government rejection of favorable social and scientific evidence.

State and federal conflicts are not new, but rarely has the US government displayed more intransigence than in the arena of marijuana prohibition.

Evaluating Management Strategies For Urban Stormwater Runoff, Corrina M. Fleischmann

Doctoral Dissertations

Urban stormwater runoff, a leading cause of waterway impairment, has become a focal point of urban stormwater management strategies. As urbanization increases, regulations demanding preservation of pre-development peak flow rates or runoff volumes have been implemented and low impact development (LID) is encouraged as a strategy to achieve this stormwater runoff reduction requirement. While the success of LID has been proven at the site-scale, limited watershed-scale assessment of LID has been conducted. This research explores the potential benefit of watershed-scale LID implementation on two common urban stormwater issues: degraded stream health and combined sewer overflows (CSOs). Assessment results indicate that …

Project Technologia: A Game-Based Approach To Understanding Situated Intentionality, Stephen Thomas Slota

Doctoral Dissertations

Since the early 2000s, educators, administrators, politicians, and researchers have given increased attention to the potential affordances of video games for educating K-12 and university learners. This has led to the instantiation of numerous game-based learning (GBL) journals, investigations of efficacy, achievement, and motivation using multimillion dollar tools, and a federally-funded competition for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics game development. Yet, little is known about the way particular game mechanics, narrative structures, and community-driven tools (e.g., forums, cheat guides, mods) influence the skills needed to be a successful 21^st century learner. Few studies have catalogued the particular actions and …

Small School, Big Reach: Open Access Outreach On A Liberal Arts College Campus, Janelle L. Wertzberger

All Musselman Library Staff Works

The liberal arts college environment provides opportunities for campus-wide engagement of open access issues that may differ from those at larger institutions. Because we support fewer campus authors, we are able to provide a high level of service. Librarians’ close connections with faculty and students allow us to move beyond articles and theses and solicit a wide range of scholarly and creative works to share in our repository. In addition, we’ve fostered conversations about open access, open textbooks, altmetrics, and copyright among faculty, staff, and students. This poster will present a snapshot of a variety of outreach and education strategies …

The New York Times Features Opinion Piece Written By Gardner-Webb Professor, Office Of University Communications

Gardner-Webb NewsCenter Archive

The world-renowned newspaper publication The New York Times has selected the work of a Gardner-Webb University history professor to appear in its online opinion/editorial section, which features commentary from a variety of authors on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. GWU Assistant Professor of History Dr. Joseph Moore says recent research he completed relating to the history of Scottish Covenanters, Christianity, and early-American politics led him to pitch an idea to editors at The New York Times. The thought became reality on Thursday, Dec. 4 when his article, “Lincoln, God and the Constitution,” was published online at NYTimes.com.
