Protecting Cultural Property In Non-International Armed Conflicts: Syria And Iraq, Louise Arimatsu, Mohbuba Choudhury Oct 2015

Protecting Cultural Property In Non-International Armed Conflicts: Syria And Iraq, Louise Arimatsu, Mohbuba Choudhury

International Law Studies

The deliberate destruction by ISIS of religious and cultural property in both Syria and Iraq sparked widespread international condemnation and was described by UNESCO’s Director-General as constituting war crimes. Regrettably, the damage to and destruction of such property has become an all too common feature of the conflicts that have engulfed both States. The authors examine the legal obligations that apply to the parties in non-international armed conflict and the consequences of non-compliance. In light of the scale of the human suffering engendered by the conflicts, the authors first ask why international law protects such property in armed conflict.

Ca2+/Calmodulin Regulates Kvβ1.1-Mediated Inactivation Of Voltage-Gated K+ Channels, Sandip M. Swain, Nirakar Sahoo, Sophie Dennhardt, Roland Schönherr, Stefan H. Heinemann Oct 2015

Ca2+/Calmodulin Regulates Kvβ1.1-Mediated Inactivation Of Voltage-Gated K+ Channels, Sandip M. Swain, Nirakar Sahoo, Sophie Dennhardt, Roland Schönherr, Stefan H. Heinemann

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

A-type K+ channels open on membrane depolarization and undergo subsequent rapid inactivation such that they are ideally suited for fine-tuning the electrical signaling in neurons and muscle cells. Channel inactivation mostly follows the so-called ball-and-chain mechanism, in which the N-terminal structures of either the K+ channel’s α or β subunits occlude the channel pore entry facing the cytosol. Inactivation of Kv1.1 and Kv1.4 channels induced by Kvβ1.1 subunits is profoundly decelerated in response to a rise in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, thus making the affected channel complexes negative feedback regulators to limit neuronal overexcitation. With electrophysiological and biochemical experiments we …

Wintering North Pacific Black-Legged Kittiwakes Balance Spatial Flexibility And Consistency, Rachael Orben, Rosana Paredes, Daniel Roby, David Irons, Scott A. Shaffer Oct 2015

Wintering North Pacific Black-Legged Kittiwakes Balance Spatial Flexibility And Consistency, Rachael Orben, Rosana Paredes, Daniel Roby, David Irons, Scott A. Shaffer

Faculty Publications, Biological Sciences

Background Marine environments are inherently dynamic, yet marine predators are often long-lived and employ strategies where consistency, individual specialization, routine migrations, and spatial memory are key components to their foraging and life-history strategies. Intrinsic determinates of animal movements are linked to physiological and life-history traits (e.g. sex, colony, experience), while extrinsic influences occur as the result of an animal’s interactions with either other animals or the environment (e.g. prey availability, weather, competition). Knowledge of the factors affecting animal movements is critical to understand energetic bottlenecks and population dynamics. Here, we attempt to understand the interaction of some of these factors …

Antioxidant Effect Of Spent, Ground, And Lyophilized Brew From Roasted Coffee In Frozen Cooked Pork Patties, Katrina Maryse Malixi Jully, Criselda Toto, Lilian Were Oct 2015

Antioxidant Effect Of Spent, Ground, And Lyophilized Brew From Roasted Coffee In Frozen Cooked Pork Patties, Katrina Maryse Malixi Jully, Criselda Toto, Lilian Were

Food Science Faculty Articles and Research

The ability of light and dark roasted coffee (1 g/kg) in varying application forms (spent ground [SCG], whole ground [WGC], or lyophilized brew [LBC]) to inhibit lipid and protein oxidation in cooked pork patties stored at −18 °C was monitored over 3 months. Malondialdehyde (MDA) for the negative control (NC) increased from 0.31 to 1.11 mg MDA/kg pork over 3 months, while pork with coffee or rosemary oleoresin had lower values at month 3 (0.054–0.40 mg MDA/kg pork). The NC had the highest values for hexanal, octanal, and nonanal (2.59, 0.10, and 0.13 mg/kg pork, respectively), while light and dark …

An Approach To Evaluate New Single-Use Film Types, Katharina Blasckczok, Lidija Lisica, Regine Eibl Oct 2015

An Approach To Evaluate New Single-Use Film Types, Katharina Blasckczok, Lidija Lisica, Regine Eibl

Single-Use Technologies: Bridging Polymer Science to Biotechnology Applications

During the last decade, single-use bioreactors or storage vessels made of flexible bags have been well-established in biopharmaceutical production. However, some developers and producers of biopharmaceuticals refuse their usage because of potential interactions of the plastic material with cells and proteins. Most dreaded apart from extractables are leachables (such as bDtBPP [1]), that derive from additives and are formed during the bag manufacturing process or gamma sterilization. Leachables can migrate from the film contact layer into the process fluid under process conditions and can inhibit cell growth or impair product quality. A further reason for cell growth limitations can be …

Loss Of Glycosaminoglycan Receptor Binding After Mosquito Cell Passage Reduces Chikungunya Virus Infectivity, Dhiraj Acharya, Amber M. Paul, John F. Anderson, Faqing Huang, Fengwei Bai Oct 2015

Loss Of Glycosaminoglycan Receptor Binding After Mosquito Cell Passage Reduces Chikungunya Virus Infectivity, Dhiraj Acharya, Amber M. Paul, John F. Anderson, Faqing Huang, Fengwei Bai

Faculty Publications

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that can cause fever and chronic arthritis in humans. CHIKV that is generated in mosquito or mammalian cells differs in glycosylation patterns of viral proteins, which may affect its replication and virulence. Herein, we compare replication, pathogenicity, and receptor binding of CHIKV generated in Vero cells (mammal) or C6/36 cells (mosquito) through a single passage. We demonstrate that mosquito cell-derived CHIKV (CHIKVmos) has slower replication than mammalian cell-derived CHIKV (CHIKVvero), when tested in both human and murine cell lines. Consistent with this, CHIKVmos infection in both cell lines …

Identification Of The Substrate Access Portal Of 5-Lipoxygenase, Sunayana Mitra, Sue G. Bartlett, Marcia E. Newcomer Oct 2015

Identification Of The Substrate Access Portal Of 5-Lipoxygenase, Sunayana Mitra, Sue G. Bartlett, Marcia E. Newcomer

Faculty Publications

© 2015 American Chemical Society. The overproduction of inflammatory lipid mediators derived from arachidonic acid contributes to asthma and cardiovascular diseases, among other pathologies. Consequently, the enzyme that initiates the synthesis of pro-inflammatory leukotrienes, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), is a target for drug design. The crystal structure of 5-LOX revealed a fully encapsulated active site; thus the point of substrate entry is not known. We asked whether a structural motif, a "cork" present in 5-LOX but absent in other mammalian lipoxygenases, might be ejected to allow substrate access. Our results indicate that reduction of cork volume facilitates access to the active site. …

Use Of Cactus Mucilage As A Dispersant And Absorbant For Oil In Oil-Water Mixtures, Norma A. Alcantar, Dawn I. Fox, Sylvia Thomas, Ryan G. Toomey

USF Patents

Despite advances in off-shore oil exploration and drilling technology, accidental oil spills do occur. Depending on their magnitude and location, irreparable damage may be inflicted on marine and coastal ecosystems. Emulsification of a water/surfactant/oil system results in the production of oil droplets and this depends on the formulation and composition variables, mixing characteristics and system preparation. Thus, research is ongoing on improving methods of cleaning up oil spills. Cactus mucilage was used to disperse and absorb oil from a simulated oil slick in different salt concentrations. Results show correlations between emulsion properties and interfacial characteristics of mucilage as function of …

A Critical Role For Alpha-Synuclein In Development And Function Of T Lymphocytes, Afshin Shameli, Wenbin Xiao, Yan Zheng, Susan Shyu, John Sumodi, Howard J. Meyerson, Clifford V. Harding, Robert W. Maitta Oct 2015

A Critical Role For Alpha-Synuclein In Development And Function Of T Lymphocytes, Afshin Shameli, Wenbin Xiao, Yan Zheng, Susan Shyu, John Sumodi, Howard J. Meyerson, Clifford V. Harding, Robert W. Maitta

Faculty Scholarship

Alpha-synuclein is highly expressed in the central nervous system and plays an important role in pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia. Previous studies have demonstrated the expression of α-synuclein in hematopoietic elements and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, although its roles in hematopoiesis and adaptive immunity are not studied. Using an α-synuclein knock out (KO) mouse model, we have recently shown that α-synuclein deficiency is associated with a mild defect in late stages of hematopoiesis. More importantly, we demonstrated a marked defect in B lymphocyte development and IgG, but not IgM production in these mice. …

Prosecuting Online Threats After Elonis, Michael Pierce Oct 2015

Prosecuting Online Threats After Elonis, Michael Pierce

NULR Online

In the essay, Mr. Pierce discusses what, exactly, the government must prove before it can, consistent with the First Amendment, prosecute someone who posts threatening messages on Facebook. Last Term, a divided Court wrestled with this issue in Elonis v. United States, reversing the defendant's conviction but leaving an important question unanswered: does the government need to prove that a speaker was reckless with his words or, alternatively, that he specifically intended them to be interpreted as threats? The essay suggests that instead of deciding which standard is best for all online threats, lower courts should adopt libel law’s …
