Dynamic Changes In Phytoplankton Community Structure After Thermal Shock And Chlorination In A Subtropical Bay: An Experimental Study, Zhi-Bing Jiang, Yi-Bo Liao, Jing-Jing Liu, Quan-Zhen Chen, Jiang-Ning Zeng, Gen-Hai Zhu

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Natural phytoplankton collected from the Yueqing Bay was exposed to a series of heat shock temperatures and chlorine dosages in a laboratory for simulating its passage through coastal power plant cooling systems. A short-term thermal shock (30 min) had no appreciable effect on the microalgae community for temperature elevation of 4-12°C in all seasons. However, the adverse effects of chlorination on the microalgae were considerably more severe than those of a thermal shock in terms of dominant succession, species richness, diversity, evenness, and community composition. Moreover, chlorination strongly influenced the diversity indices throughout a 15-d culture period, indicating an evident …

Gucy2c Lysosomotropic Endocytosis Delivers Immunotoxin Therapy To Metastatic Colorectal Cancer., Glen P Marszalowicz, Adam E. Snook, Michael Sullivan Magee, Dante Merlino, Lisa D Berman-Booty, Scott A Waldman

Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Faculty Papers

The emergence of targeted cancer therapy has been limited by the paucity of determinants which are tumor-specific and generally associated with disease, and have cell dynamics which effectively deploy cytotoxic payloads. Guanylyl cyclase C (GUCY2C) may be ideal for targeting because it is normally expressed only in insulated barrier compartments, including intestine and brain, but over-expressed by systemic metastatic colorectal tumors. Here, we reveal that GUCY2C rapidly internalizes from the cell surface to lysosomes in intestinal and colorectal cancer cells. Endocytosis is independent of ligand binding and receptor activation, and is mediated by clathrin. This mechanism suggests a design for …

Response Surface Optimization Of Microwave-Assisted Sulfated Polysaccharide Extraction From Porphyra Dentate, Yeu-Pyng Lin, Shao-Chi Wu, Jean-Yu Hwang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

An experiment was performed by adjusting the pH value (4-10) of a 10%-to-90% ethanol solution (v/v) and using it as an extraction solvent and, subsequently, using microwaveassisted extraction (MAE) to extract Porphyra denate solutions. The sulfated polysaccharides (µg/mL) of these extraction solutions were evaluated. The optimal treatments of P. denate extracts obtained using MAE were studied using response surface methodology. The study was performed using a three-level, four-factor design and aimed to determine the optimal combinations of the ethanol concentration (10%-90%, v/v, X1), pH value of an ethanol solution (4-10, X2), microwave power level (200-400 W, X3), and heating time …

Who Is A Jew?: Reflections On History, Religion, And Culture, Leonard Greenspoon

Studies in Jewish Civilization

Jewish identity is a perennial concern, as Jews seek to define the major features and categories of those who “belong,” while at the same time draw distinctions between individuals and groups on the “inside” and those on the “outside.” From a variety of perspectives, scholarly as well as confessional, there is intense interest among non-Jewish and Jewish commentators alike in the basic question, “Who is a Jew?”

This collection of articles draws diverse historical, cultural, and religious insights from scholars who represent a wide range of academic and theological disciplines. Some of the authors directly address the issue of Jewish …

Visualization-Aided Classification Ensembles Discriminate Lung Adenocarcinoma And Squamous Cell Carcinoma Samples Using Their Gene Expression Profiles, Ao Zhang, Chi Wang, Shiji Wang, Liang Li, Zhongmin Liu, Suyan Tian

Markey Cancer Center Faculty Publications

INTRODUCTION: The widespread application of microarray experiments to cancer research is astounding including lung cancer, one of the most common fatal human tumors. Among non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), there are two major histological types of NSCLC, adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

RESULTS: In this paper, we proposed to integrate a visualization method called Radial Coordinate Visualization (Radviz) with a suitable classifier, aiming at discriminating two NSCLC subtypes using patients' gene expression profiles. Our analyses on simulated data and a real microarray dataset show that combining with a classification method, Radviz may play a role in …

Genetic And Aggressiveness Variation Among Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum Dry Bean Isolates From Brazil Fields, Willian Luis Antonio Zancan, James R. Steadman, Rebecca Higgins, Rachana Jhala, Jose Da Cruz Machado

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, infection of bean fields, has increased in Brazil. Fungicides application is the control strategy used due to lack of cultivars with complete disease resistance. To guide the use of isolates in resistance screening 25 S. sclerotiorum isolates from Brazilian dry bean fields were characterized using microsatellite markers, mycelial compatibility groups (MCGs) and aggressiveness. Microsatellite primer pairs were used to identify polymorphisms among the S. sclerotiorum isolates and MCGs were determined from interaction of all isolates grown side by-side. Aggressiveness was derived from a straw test where fungal mycelium was placed over a cut bean stem and rated for …

Reproductive Biology Of The Bombay-Duck Harpadon Microchir In The Coastal Waters Off Southwestern Taiwan, Yih-Yia Liao, Shun-Ren Luo, Kwang-Ming Liu

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

The bombay-duck, Harpadon microchir, is one of the important bycatch species of the trawl fishery in the waters off southwestern Taiwan. However, its biological information, especially reproductive biology, is still lacking. In this study, the reproductive biology of the bombay-duck was described based on 1,697 specimens (1,066 females and 631 males) caught by bottom trawl fishery in the waters off southwestern Taiwan from October 2007 to December 2008. The spawning season of this species was estimated to be in May and from August to December with a peak in November based on the macroscopic appearance, gonadosomatic index, histological examination, and …

Assessing Fishing Port Locations For Adaption Into Yacht Marinas In Taiwan, Ching-Min Yang, Chi-Chang Lai1, Long-Jing Wu, Jan-Jung Li

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

As fishing resources gradually disappear, the original functions of fishing ports change. Modernizing traditional fishing ports is valuable for the fishing industry, tourism, and waterfront development. To determine suitable locations for such ports, an analytic hierarchy process and an interview survey were used to objectively analyze inputs from fishing port managers and yacht users. To establish additional yacht marinas in fishing ports, both groups attached importance to the “support of government and integration of policies” (rank and additive weight of manager : user = 1[0.185] : 2[0.119]). Therefore, inclusion of a complete and appropriate management mechanism must be emphasized during …

Assessing Differences In Species Susceptibility To Phocine Distemper Virus (Pdv) In Harp (Phoca Groenlandica), Harbor (Phoca Vitulina Concolor) And Gray Seals (Halichoerus Grypus) Of The Northwest Atlantic, Andrea Bogomolni

Doctoral Dissertations

The recent emergence of morbillivirus in marine mammals as the etiology of several large scale mortality events raised questions about the role of immunosuppressive persistent organic pollutants and natural toxins in the severity, extent and duration of events. A morbillivirus of marine mammals, Phocine distemper virus (PDV), had devastating population level effects in Europe in 1988 and 2002. In 2006, a new isolate of PDV was determined to be responsible for mortality during the 2006 Northeast US Pinniped Unusually Mortality Event. The recent North American PDV mortality event provided a means to test several hypotheses designed to increase our overall …

Octopus Tetricus (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) As An Ecosystem Engineer, David Scheel, Peter Godfrey-Smith, Matthew Lawrence

Publications and Research

The Sydney octopus (Octopus tetricus) occurs in unusual numbers on a shell bed of its prey remains that have accumulated as an extended midden where additional octopuses excavate dens. Here, O tetricus are ecosystem engineers, organisms that modulate availability of resources to other species and to their own species by causing physical state changes in materials. A community of invertebrate grazers and scavengers has developed on the shell bed. Fishes are attracted to the shell bed in numbers significantly greater than in nearby habitats. Large predators, including wobbegong sharks, were attracted to and fed on concentrations of fish, inhibiting the …

There has been increased detection of incidental AVMs as result of the frequent use of advanced imaging techniques. The natural history of AVM is poorly understood and its management is controversial. This review provides an overview of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, natural history, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of AVMs. The authors discussed the imaging techniques available for detecting AVMs with regard to the advantages and disadvantages of each imaging modality. Furthermore, this review paper discusses the factors that must be considered for the most appropriate management strategy (based on the current evidence in the literature) and the risks and benefits …

Model For Ultrashort Laser-Pulse Induced Ionization Dynamics In Transparent Solids, Jeremy R. Gulley, Thomas E. Lanier

Faculty Articles

A comprehensive model of ultrafast laser-induced plasma generation intended for coupling with pulse propagation simulations in transparent solids is introduced. It simultaneously accounts for the changing spectrum of a propagating ultrashort laser pulse while coupling to the evolution of the energy-resolved nonequilibrium free-carrier distribution. The presented results indicate that strong pulse chirps lead to ionization dynamics that are not captured by the standard monochromatic treatment of laser-induced plasma formation. These results have strong implications for ultrafast laser-solid applications that depend on ionization in a strong nonlinear focus.

Sorption Of Cr(Iii) And Cr(Vi) To High And Low Pressure Synthetic Nano-Magnetite (Fe3o4)Particles, Jason Parsons, Jeffrey Hernandez, Christina M. Gonzalez, J. L. Gardea-Torresdey

School of Integrative Biological & Chemical Sciences (Formerly Dept. of Chemistry)

The binding of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) to synthetic nano-magnetie particles synthesized under open vessel conditions and a microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis techniques was investigated. Batch studies showed that the binding of both the Cr(III) and Cr(VI) bound to the nano-materials in a pH dependent manner. The Cr(III) maximized at binding at pH 4 and 100% binding. Similarly, the Cr(VI) ions showed a maximum binding of 100% at pH 4. The data from the time dependency studies showed for the most part the majority of the binding occurred within the first 5 minutes of contact with the nanomaterial and remained constant …

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 7(4) : 318-328, 2014. Team intercollegiate athletic competition is associated with an increase in salivary cortisol (C) and testosterone (T) in men and women. The present study was designed to determine the hormonal effects of warm-up and racing in cross country runners – a sport that has both individual and team components. Members of the Emory University men’s and women’s varsity cross country teams gave saliva samples before warm-up, after warm-up, and immediately after the finish of each of two intercollegiate invitational meets held one year apart in the same setting (2010, N = 10 …

Vo2 Reserve Vs. Heart Rate Reserve During Moderate Intensity Treadmill Exercise, Tanner J. Solheim, Brad G. Keller, Charles J. Fountaine

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 7(4) : 311-317, 2014. ­VO₂ and heart rate (HR) are widely used when determining appropriate training intensities for clinical, healthy, and athletic populations. It has been shown that if the % reserve (%R) is used, rather than % of max, HR and VO₂ can be used interchangeably to accurately prescribe exercise intensities. Thus, heart rate reserve (HRR) can be prescribed if VO₂ reserve (VO₂R) is known. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare VO₂ R and HRR during moderate intensity exercise (50%R). Physically active college students …

Can Resistance Training Contribute To The Aerobic Components Of The Physical Activity Guidelines?, Travis J. Hrubeniuk, Neal Prokop, Semone Myrie, Martin Sénéchal, Danielle R. Bouchard

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 7(4) : 278-285, 2014. To evaluate if resistance training can reach Moderate to Vigorous Intensity (MVI) and contribute to the aerobic component of the international physical activity guidelines. Sixteen participants aged between 20 and 35 were recruited. Heart rate was recorded by heart rate monitor during a resistance training program. Based on maximal heart rate, time spent at MVI (55-69% of maximal heart rate) was calculated. Participants displayed a HR equal or above MVI for 51.5% ± 21.7% of time. When stratifying by lower and upper body sessions, that proportion was median (25-75th); 75.0% (32.5%-89.2%) …

The Relationship Between Change Of Direction Speed In The Frontal Plane, Power, Reactive Strength, And Strength, Brian T. Mccormick, James C. Hannon, Charlie A. Hicks-Little, Maria Newton, Barry Shultz, Nicole Detling, Warren B. Young

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 7(4) : 260-270, 2014. Change-of-direction speed (CODS) is an important quality to performance in multi-direction sports. The relationship between CODS in the frontal plane and power, strength, and reactive strength is largely unstudied. Twenty-three male college students participated in this study. The study used a Pearson’s product-moment correlation to measure the relationship between CODS, power, strength, and reactive strength. A lateral shuffle test was used as the measure of CODS. A lateral hop for distance was used as the measure of power in the frontal plane. A countermovement vertical jump test was used as the …
