Nucleotide-Induced Conformational Changes In Escherichia Coli Dnaa Protein Are Required For Bacterial Orc To Pre-Rc Conversion At The Chromosomal Origin, Rahul K. Saxena, Sona Vasudevan, Digvijay Patil, Norah Ashoura, Julia E. Grimwade, Elliott Crooke

Biomedical Engineering and Sciences Faculty Publications

DnaA oligomerizes when bound to origins of chromosomal replication. Structural analysis of a truncated form of DnaA from Aquifex aeolicus has provided insight into crucial conformational differences within the AAA+ domain that are specific to the ATP- versus ADP- bound form of DnaA. In this study molecular docking of ATP and ADP onto Escherichia coli DnaA, modeled on the crystal structure of Aquifex aeolicus DnaA, reveals changes in the orientation of amino acid residues within or near the vicinity of the nucleotide-binding pocket. Upon limited proteolysis with trypsin or chymotrypsin ADP-DnaA, but not ATP-DnaA generated relatively stable proteolytic fragments of …

Synthesis And Application Of Silica Based Mesoporous Materials For Removal Of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds In Aqueous Solution / Shanmuga Suntharam Kittappa, Kittappa Shanmuga Suntharam

Student Works (2010-2019)

The economical synthesis route of silica based mesoporous materials using eco-friendly and cheaper chemicals and material was studied. Three mesoporous silica-based materials were successfully synthesized and applied for the removal of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs): mesoporous silica materials (MSMs) synthesized by reacting pore templating agent Pluronic P123® with silica (SiO2) powder instead of organometallic precursors [i.e. tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS)]; magnetised nanocomposite silica material (MNCM) synthesized by incorporating MSMs with nano magnetite; and N1-(3-Trimethoxysilylpropyl) diethylenetriamine (Tris) coated magnetised nanocomposite silica materials (MNCMT) synthesized by incorporating MNCM with Tris. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET)/Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) surface …

Prospective Predictors Of Adolescent Bmi: Parenting Style, Gender, And Weight Perception, Trey V. Dellucci

College of Science and Health Theses and Dissertations

Obesity affects both adolescents and adults worldwide (Popkin & Doak, 1998). Determining which factors contribute to risk factors to the high prevalence of obesity in America is important because excess weight can negatively affect both physical health and psychosocial functioning (Kolotkin, Meter, & Williams, 2001). Few longitudinal studies have assessed the association between parenting styles and adolescent’s body mass index (BMI; Rhee et al, 2006). Past research has shown that parents greatly influence adolescent’s body image (Al Sabbah et al., 2009). Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the current study examined the influence of parenting styles …

Epithelial Neoplasia Coincides With Exacerbated Injury And Fibrotic Response In The Lungs Of Gprc5a-Knockout Mice Following Silica Exposure, Xiaofei Wang, Dongliang Xu, Yueling Liao, Shuangshuang Zhong, Hongyong Song, Beibei Sun, Binhua P. Zhou, Jiong Deng, Baohui Han

Markey Cancer Center Faculty Publications

Exposure to crystalline silica is suggested to increase the risk for a variety of lung diseases, including fibrosis and lung cancer. However, epidemiological evidences for the exposure-risk relationship are ambiguous and conflicting, and experimental study from a reliable animal model to explore the relationship is lacking. We reasoned that a mouse model that is sensitive to both lung injury and tumorigenesis would be appropriate to evaluate the exposure-risk relationship. Previously, we showed that, Gprc5a^-/- mice are susceptible to both lung tumorigenesis and endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. In this study, we investigated the biological consequences in Gprc5a^-/- mouse model …

Should I Say Something? Dating And Sexual Aggression Bystander Intervention Among High School Youth, Katie Edwards, Robert P. Eckstein, Kara Anne Rodenhizer-Stampfli

Carsey Publications

Using data from a sample of 218 high school youth from three high schools in New England (one rural, two urban), this brief discusses dating and sexual aggression bystander intervention among high school youth. Authors Katie Edwards, Robert Eckstein, and Kara Anne Rodenhizer-Stämpfli report that an overwhelming majority (93.6 percent) of high school students reported having the opportunity to intervene during the past year in situations of dating aggression or sexual aggression; however, in over one-third of the episodes (37.4 percent) students reported not intervening. Girls were more likely to intervene in situations of dating and sexual aggression than boys, …

Forever 21 Under Fire Again… This Time By H&M!, Heather Brodsky

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

Merely a few weeks ago we discussed a trademark infringement suit initiated by Adidas against Forever 21. Forever 21 had allegedly copied Adidas’s famous three-stripe trademark. The infamous fast fashion company is now in trouble with a brand that many consider a close competitor: H&M.

The Precarious Fate Of Homosexual Emojis, Margaret Mary Ochner

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

Shigetaka Kurita had a goal in mind when he set out to create the emoji: to invent a quick and simple way to express emotion without words. Emojis are defined as “[a] small digital pictograph used in electronic communication to express a wide range of emotion and ideas” and are based on Japanese characters. In the past several years, emojis have become popular on many platforms, such as Apple and Android phones, as well as social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. Recently, users have embraced Apple’s decision to add new emojis, such as those depicting different races and homosexual …

Stories Of The Trenton Six: Race And The Early Cold War In America, 1948 - 1953, Harry Roger Young

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This dissertation reveals the complex post war world, in the emerging Cold War era, with the intersecting disputed worlds of race and ideology through the lens of the Trenton Six case. It provides the reader with a glimpse of one city's story, but it enveloped the entire nation; as Americans attempted to make sense of their chaotic and complicated world, prior to the 1960s civil rights movement. This study explores the problem of race in the criminal justice system. Even as racial attitudes were liberalizing in the post war world, race still pervaded criminal justice proceedings in subtle and unsubtle …

The Concept Of Mattering As Critical To Nursing-Student Recovery, Ronald Steven Hutchins

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

This qualitative study using a phenomenological case study and grounded-theory design was conducted to examine the phenomena of nursing-student recovery following a failure in a clinical nursing course. For the purpose of this study nursing-student recovery was defined as: The academic progression of a student who failed a core clinical nursing course, and subsequently successfully completed the course, the nursing program, and passed the NCLEX-RN exam. A literature review was conducted focusing on student academic recovery, and three conceptual theories that support transitional change, growth and stability: Neuman System Model (NSM), Self Determination Theory (SDT), and Schlossberg's Transitional Theory (STT). …
