Appearance Of Membrane Compromised, Viable But Not Culturable And Culturable Rhizobial Cells As A Consequence Of Desiccation, Jan A.C. Vriezen, Frans J. De Bruijn Jan 2016

Appearance Of Membrane Compromised, Viable But Not Culturable And Culturable Rhizobial Cells As A Consequence Of Desiccation, Jan A.C. Vriezen, Frans J. De Bruijn

Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

For agricultural purposes, drought related stresses negatively affect the Rhizobiaceae in at least three ways. Firstly, rhizobial populations are affected by desertification of agricultural soils. Secondly, the quality of dry-base inocula, also called formula, is negatively affected by a drying step, and thirdly, rhizosphere bacteria protect crop-plants against drought. Although survival of cultivatable bacteria has been studied intensively in dry-base seed inocula and in-vitro, thus far research has only marginally addressed the bacterial cell, its cellular structures and physiology. Many questions remain regarding the sensing of and physiological response of rhizobia to desiccation. This review will focus on the three …

Restoration Of Intrinsic Inhibition In The Pfc To Prevent Relapse To Cocaine Seeking, William C. Buchta Jan 2016

Restoration Of Intrinsic Inhibition In The Pfc To Prevent Relapse To Cocaine Seeking, William C. Buchta

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Reward learning involves burst firing of midbrain dopamine neurons in the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA). The resulting dopamine release from VTA terminals instructs regions like the prefrontal cortex (PFC) about rewards and reward-related cues. Glutamatergic PFC neurons initiate motivated behaviors via innervation of the nucleus accumbens. Chronic use of drugs of abuse such as cocaine disrupts this natural reward pathway, leading to enduring cellular adaptations in dopaminergic signaling that contribute to relapse vulnerability. However, how dopamine modulates activity in this circuitry is not known. We posit that dopamine release from VTA terminals gates intrinsic inhibition in the PFC via a …

Mechanisms Of Subtype-Specific Inhibition Of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors By Ethanol, Benjamin A. Hughes Jan 2016

Mechanisms Of Subtype-Specific Inhibition Of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors By Ethanol, Benjamin A. Hughes

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Alcoholism is a debilitating and costly disease with rates of prevalence totaling nearly 6% worldwide. Treating this disease has proven expensive and in many cases ineffective due in large part to significant gaps in our knowledge of the molecular determinants that drive the pathogenesis of the disorder. Recently, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor has emerged as a candidate site for the primary inhibitory actions of ethanol on nervous system function. This receptor is an ion channel highly expressed in the nervous system that is activated by the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and has been implicated in the induction of a number of …

Redskins: The Property Right To Racism, M. Alexander Pearl Jan 2016

Redskins: The Property Right To Racism, M. Alexander Pearl

Faculty Articles

Everyone has an opinion, from President Obama to Matthew McConaughey, about the Washington football team name. This Article comprehensively analyzes the legal and social issues surrounding the mascot controversy. I focus my inquiry on the interaction of trademark law and Indian law. I offer three primary contributions in this Article. First, the current mainstream conception of harm caused by the team name is subjective, and I argue that the harm caused by the team name and logo is objective, testable, and demonstrable. Psychological research shows that these images harm Native people. Second, the remedies offered by the Lanham Act are …

Lawn Signs: A Fourth Amendment For Constitutional Curmudgeons, Andrew Ferguson, Stephen E. Henderson Jan 2016

Lawn Signs: A Fourth Amendment For Constitutional Curmudgeons, Andrew Ferguson, Stephen E. Henderson

Faculty Articles

What is the constitutional significance of the proverbial “keep off the grass” sign? This question—asked by curmudgeonly neighbors everywhere—has been given new currency in a recent decision by the United States Supreme Court. Indeed, Florida v. Jardines might have bestowed constitutional curmudgeons with significant new Fourth Amendment protections. By expressing expectations regarding—and control over—access to property, “the people” may be able to claim greater Fourth Amendment protections not only for their homes, but also for their persons, papers, and effects. This article launches a constitutionally grounded, but lighthearted campaign of citizen education and empowerment: Fourth Amendment LAWn signs. With every …

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two trials (summer and winter) were conducted with 80 steers each at the UNL ARDC near Mead, Neb. Continuous body temperature was collected throughout both trials and blood samples were taken every other week until four weeks prior to harvest. Th is resulted in a total of 6 collections for the summer and 8 collections for the winter. Blood measures responded differently between seasons with significant quadratic interactions between collection time and season suggesting environmental conditions affect blood metabolites.

Effects Of Shade And Feeding Zilpaterol Hydrochloride To Finishing Steers On Performance, Carcass Quality, Heat Stress, Mobility, And Body Temperature, Bradley M. Boyd, Steven D. Shackelford, Kristin E. Hales Hales, Tami M. Brown- Brandl, Meredith L. Bremer, Matthew L. Spangler, Tommy L. Wheeler, David A. King, Galen E. Erickson

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A finishing study evaluated the effects of shade and feeding zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) on performance, carcass quality, mobility, and body temperature. No effect on body temperature, or performance was observed for shaded cattle versus cattle in open pens. Feeding ZH increased HCW, LM area and decreased yield grade. Zilpaterol hydrochloride increased respiration rate but did not significantly affect body temperature or mobility. Across all treatments mobility decreased with time, therefore, cattle were least mobile at the time of harvest.

Feeding Vitamin E May Reverse Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Instability Caused By Feeding Wet Distillers Grains Plus Solubles To Cattle, Michael D. Chao, Katherine I. Domenech, Chris R. Calkins Calkins Jan 2016

Feeding Vitamin E May Reverse Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Instability Caused By Feeding Wet Distillers Grains Plus Solubles To Cattle, Michael D. Chao, Katherine I. Domenech, Chris R. Calkins Calkins

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Steers were finished on either 0% or 30% wet distillers grains plus solubles with four antioxidant treatments (control; vitamin E; Agrado; vitamin E + Agrado). Feeding wet distillers grains plus solubles increased polyunsaturated fatty acids contents in SR membrane and altered sarcoplasmic reticulum phospholipid profiles. Steaks from steers fed wet distillers grains plus solubles also had more protein degradation. Supplementing vitamin E reversed the alteration of sarcoplasmic reticulum phospholipid profiles and prevented the accelerated protein degradation resulted from feeding wet distillers grains plus solubles. These findings suggest that feeding wet distillers grains plus solubles in the finishing diet may accelerate …

Granulosa Cell Exposure To Excess Androgens Inhibits Their Ability To Proliferate In The Cow Which May Cause Or Perpetuate Androgen Excess, Andrea S. Cupp, Sarah Romereim, Adam F. Summers Summers, William E. Pohlmeier, Renee M. Mcfee, Renata Spuri- Gomes, Scott G. Kurz, Anthony K. Mcneel, Robert A. Cushman, John S. Davis, Jennifer R. Wood

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Within the UNL physiology herd, a group of cows have been identified with excess androgen (androstenedione, A4) in their dominant follicle (30 fold higher than controls) and a 17% reduction in calving rate, suggesting subfertility. Th e objective was to identify altered granulosa cell gene expression that could be preventing these cells from converting excess androgen into estrogen. Microarray analysis suggests these granulosa cells experience inhibited proliferation resulting in a reduced total population of cells. Improved understanding of the causes of this phenotype may provide beef producers with tools to identify potentially subfertile cattle and improve reproductive efficiency.

Effects Of Replacing A Traditional Growing Diet With A Complete Pelleted Feed On Total Tract Digestibility Of Growing Diets, Jana L. Harding, Melissa L. Jolly, Galen E. Erickson Erickson, Jim C. Macdonald

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A digestion study evaluated the effects of replacing traditional growing diets containing 60% untreated corn stover \or 60% alkaline treated corn stover, with one of two types of complete pelleted feeds (Pellet C or Pellet S) containing alkaline treated corn stover and dry distillers grains. Pellet C and S were harvested using different methods. Pellet S had the greatest OM and NDF digestibility, while the untreated stover had the lowest. Pellet C and the treated stover fell intermediate. Replacing a traditional growing diet with a complete pelleted feed resulted in similar or improved diet digestibility, depending on stover harvesting method.
