Media Influence On Opinion About Man-Made Global Warming As Moderated By Individual Ecological Orientation And Personal Experience, George W. Stone Dr.

Atlantic Marketing Journal

Abstract – The purpose of the study was to assess the opinions of two equal groups of QUALTRICS panelists, one having lived through a CAT 5 storm and the other not, on their respective beliefs about the effect man-made global warming has had on increasing the intensity of major weather events. The authors identified individuals in each group based on individual eco-orientation. The author then tested for opinion differences based on three factors related to eco-orientation as well as the role played by the media on influencing opinions related to man’s impact on increasing storm intensity

Compromise Or Quit Medical Practice: Is There Another Option For Catholic Health Care Professionals, John Morris

Conference on Philosophy and Theology

More and more, medical practitioners are being told that they must either compromise their beliefs and provide whatever services patients demand or they should quit medical practice. This paper will explore other options that would offer a more just and respectful solution for our pluralistic society.

Scg3 As A Novel Disease-Related Factor For Diabetic Retinopathy Therapy, Michelle Elizabeth Leblanc

Open Access Dissertations

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common diabetic vascular complications. Angiogenic factors, such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), play important roles in the pathogenesis of vision-threatening DR. A major breakthrough is the recent approval of anti-VEGF therapy for diabetic eye disease however, its limited therapeutic efficacy implicates the involvement of other angiogenic factors in the pathogenesis. Endothelial factors with preferential binding to the diseased vasculature may represent novel targets for alternative ligand-based therapies. In this thesis, I applied a new technology of “comparative ligandomics” to diabetic and healthy mice for the differential mapping of disease-related ligands. Secretogranin …

Cooperative Stimulation Of Megakaryocytic Differentiation By Gfi1b Gene Targets Kindlin3 And Talin1, Divya Singh, Ghanshyam Upadhyay, Ananya Sengupta, Mohammed A. Biplob, Shaleen Chakyayil, Tiji George, Shireen Saleque

Publications and Research

Understanding the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes from progenitors is crucial for realizing the biology and functions of these vital cells. Previous gene ablation studies demonstrated the essential role of the transcriptional repressor Gfi1b (growth factor independence 1b) in the generation of both erythroid and megakaryocytic cells. However, our recent work has demonstrated the down-regulation of this factor during megakaryocytic differentiation. In this study we identify two new gene targets of Gfi1b, the cytoskeletal proteins Kindlin3 and Talin1, and demonstrate the inverse expression and functions of these cytoskeletal targets relative to Gfi1b, during megakaryocytic differentiation. Both kindlin3 and talin1 promoters …

Environmental & Global Health Faculty Research

Measurements of equivalent black carbon (EBC) were conducted for 8 months from November 2009 to September 2010 at Mt. Muztagh Ata to determine its seasonal variation, transport, and potential contribution source areas. The daily EBC concentrations ranged from 33.6 to 330.2 ng m–3 with an average of 133.1 ± 55.0 ng m–3 during the period. Higher values were observed in summer and autumn (approximately 164.0 ng m–3) than in winter (approximately 96.5 ng m–3). The diurnal variation in all seasons was stable throughout the day but slightly increased during the nighttime. The results of the potential source contribution function analysis …

Molecular Mechanisms Of Stress-Induced Increases In Fear Memory Consolidation Within The Amygdala, Antonio V. Aubry, Peter A. Serrano, Nesha S. Burghardt

Publications and Research

Stress can significantly impact brain function and increase the risk for developing various psychiatric disorders. Many of the brain regions that are implicated in psychiatric disorders and are vulnerable to the effects of stress are also involved in mediating emotional learning. Emotional learning has been a subject of intense investigation for the past 30 years, with the vast majority of studies focusing on the amygdala and its role in associative fear learning. However, the mechanisms by which stress affects the amygdala and amygdala-dependent fear memories remain unclear. Here we review the literature on the enhancing effects of acute and chronic …

The European Eel Nccβ Gene Encodes A Thiazide-Resistant Na-Cl Cotransporter, Erika Moreno, Consuelo Plata, Alejandro Rodríguez-Gama, Eduardo R. Argaiz, Norma Vázquez, Karla Leyva, Carmen Y. Hernández-Carballo, León Islas, Christopher P. Cutler, Diana Pacheco-Alvarez, Adriana Mercado, Raquel Cariño-Cortés, Gerardo Gamba

Biology: Faculty Publications

The thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC) is the major pathway for salt reabsorption in the mammalian distal convoluted tubule. NCC plays a key role in the regulation of blood pressure. Its inhibition with thiazides constitutes the primary baseline therapy for arterial hypertension. However, the thiazide-binding site in NCC is unknown. Mammals have only one gene encoding for NCC. The eel, however, contains a duplicate gene. NCCα is an ortholog of mammalian NCC and is expressed in the kidney. NCCβ is present in the apical membrane of the rectum. Here we cloned and functionally characterized NCCβ from the European eel. The cRNA …

Planning Transportation For Recreational Areas, Anne Dunning

PSU Transportation Seminars

Population growth and increased accessibility of formerly remote destinations have created new needs for planning mobility to and within recreational areas.

Transportation planners studying recreational travel face unusual travel-demand peaks, travelers who are often unfamiliar with their surroundings, and a uniquely important need for traveler and community communication. Planners must consider what characteristics of an individual area make it attractive to visitors, as well as local goals for the special resources of the area.

This presentation will characterize unique facets of mobility in recreational areas, and pose approaches to planning transportation systems to serve them.

Design And Development Of Peptidomimetic Ligands For Targeting Radiopharmaceuticals, Imaging Probes, And Immunotherapeutics In Oncologic Disease, Michael Lawrence Doligalski

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. While much has been learned about these diseases in the last few decades, one of the main barriers to widespread advancement is the heterogeneity of cancer biology. A growing body of evidence supports the idea that certain protein receptors are overexpressed on the surface of tumor cells as compared to normal tissues. These extracellular biomarkers provide a unique opportunity to selectively target the tumor with both imaging and therapeutic modalities. The research in this dissertation focuses on targeting proteins on the tumor cell surface with peptidomimetic ligands. …

The Science Of Climate Change, David Poister

Catholic Intellectual Tradition

In the 2015 Papal Encyclical. Laudata Si', Pope Francis encourage "people of good will" to engage in an "intense dialogue" between science and religion as a way to address environmental issues such as global warming. In that spirit, this presentation will explain the basical physical and chemical processes driving current changes to the earth's climate system. This scientific understanding will form the basis of next semester's CIT workshop centering on the religious and spiritual dimensions of climate change.

This talk is facilitated by David Poister, Ph.D. who is a Professor of Chemistry and Environmental Science at SNC where he …

What Makes A Prion: Infectious Proteins From Animals To Yeast, Kyle S. Maclea

Life Sciences Faculty Scholarship

While philosophers in ancient times had many ideas for the cause of contagion, the modern study of infective agents began with Fracastoro's 1546 proposal that invisible “spores” spread infectious disease. However, firm categorization of the pathogens of the natural world would need to await a mature germ theory that would not arise for 300 years. In the 19th century, the earliest pathogens described were bacteria and other cellular microbes. By the close of that century, the work of Ivanovsky and Beijerinck introduced the concept of a virus, an infective particle smaller than any known cell. Extending into the early–mid-20th century …
