The Nation Of Gods And Earths: Its Predecessors, Early History, And Influence In Hip Hip Culture, Adrienne Jones

Theses and Dissertations

Islamic culture is undoubtedly a facet of African American history. The most commonly thought of black Islamic group is the Nation of Islam (NOI). Scholars have begun to closely examine the NOI’s predecessor and dissent groups. Expanding scholarship beyond well-known NOI figures such as Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, and Louis Farrakhan, recent study now assesses the influence of older figures and their organizations. In conjunction with examining these older models, recent study of the NOI also analyzes schismatic groups that formed out of this organization. This thesis reviews the NOI’s influential Islamic and/or black nationalist predecessors, the NOI’s early history …

Surface Tension, William Tedford Grimmett

Theses and Dissertations

I photograph objects and sites that exhibit translucent and reflective surface properties. These objects and scenes project multiplicities and degrees of transparency and opacity that suggest depth, movement and passing time. I think of these objects and sites as artifacts found in situ. My photographs are affirmations of a constructed, found and realized world that is often unseen or unrecognized. These images are a personal iconography, symbols of a process of awareness and identity that involves combining childhood memories of play and looking with intent as necessary cognitive and emotional processes.

Invertebrate Community Composition Across Inundation Regimes And Its Potential To Reduce Plant Stress, Inez Ilicia Lawson

Dissertations and Theses

Appreciation of the ecological and economic values associated with healthy salt marshes has led to a recent rise in the number of marshes that are being targeted for restoration by dike removal. The success of restoration is often measured by the return of marsh plants, though this overlooks a key component of salt marshes, that of the invertebrate community within marsh sediments. To evaluate the short-term recovery of these invertebrates, sediment cores were collected across an elevational gradient in a recent dike removal marsh, one and two years post removal, and a nearby reference marsh. Abundance, richness and diversity as …

Chloride Intracellular Channel Proteins Respond To Heat Stress In Caenorhabditis Elegans, Jun Liang, Yakov Shaulov, Cathy Savage-Dunn, Stéphane Boissinot, Tasmia Hoque

Publications and Research

Chloride intracellular channel proteins (CLICs) are multi-functional proteins that are expressed in various cell types and differ in their subcellular location. Two CLIC homologs, EXL-1 (excretory canal abnormal like-1) and EXC-4 (excretory canal abnormal± 4), are encoded in the Caenorhabditis elegans genome, providing an excellent model to study the functional diversification of CLIC proteins. EXC-4 functions in excretory canal formation during normal animal development. However, to date, the physiological function of EXL-1 remains largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that EXL-1 responds specifically to heat stress and translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in intestinal cells and body …

A Global Staphylococcus Aureus Proteome Resource Applied To The In Vivo Characterization Of Host-Pathogen Interactions., Stephan Michalik, Maren Depke, Annette Murr, Manuela Gesell Salazar, Ulrike Kusebauch, Zhi Sun, Tanja C Meyer, Kristin Surmann, Henrike Pförtner, Petra Hildebrandt, Stefan Weiss, Laura Marcela Palma Medina, Melanie Gutjahr, Elke Hammer, Dörte Becher, Thomas Pribyl, Sven Hammerschmidt, Eric W Deutsch, Samuel L Bader, Michael Hecker, Robert L Moritz, Ulrike Mäder, Uwe Völker, Frank Schmidt

Articles, Abstracts, and Reports

Data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry promises higher performance in terms of quantification and reproducibility compared to data-dependent acquisition mass spectrometry methods. To enable high-accuracy quantification of Staphylococcus aureus proteins, we have developed a global ion library for data-independent acquisition approaches employing high-resolution time of flight or Orbitrap instruments for this human pathogen. We applied this ion library resource to investigate the time-resolved adaptation of S. aureus to the intracellular niche in human bronchial epithelial cells and in a murine pneumonia model. In epithelial cells, abundance changes for more than 400 S. aureus proteins were quantified, revealing, e.g., the precise temporal regulation …

Pteronura Brasiliensis (Carnivora: Mustelidae), Paula Noonan, Siobhan Prout, Virginia Hayssen

Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Pteronura brasiliensis (Zimmermann, 1780), the giant otter, is the largest freshwater otter. Found in South America, it inhabits slow-moving rivers and creeks and feeds predominantly on fish. Extinct in the southern portions of its former range, P. brasiliensis is listed as "Endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. Threats to P. brasiliensis include habitat destruction, illegal hunting, and disease.

Using Ya Fiction To Build Interest In Stem With Teen Girls, Melissa Cast-Brede

Teacher Education Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

If Hunger Games can inspire young women to take up the bow and arrow, then surely other young adult (YA) titles can inspire enthusiasm for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). This program will discuss the role of YA fiction in teen development and specific YA titles to encourage STEM interests with teen girls.

Documentation And Dissemination Of Indigenous Knowledge By Library Personnel In Selected Research Institutes In Nigeria, John Oluwaseye Adebayo, Cln, Adebola Aderemi Adeyemo Cln

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Indigenous Knowledge (IK) and practices are usually unwritten; relying on oral transmission and human memory. As a result, this study investigated the documentation and dissemination of Indigenous Knowledge by library personnel at five selected research institutes in Ibadan, Nigeria. Using the descriptive survey design, six (6) questions raised to achieve the stated objectives. Structured questionnaire and interview were used for data collection. The population comprised of professionals and para-professionals library staff at Nigeria Institute of Social and Economic Research (NISER), Institute of African Studies (IFRA), Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN), Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN), and International Institute …

Reclassification Of Halothiobacillus Hydrothermalis And Halothiobacillus Halophilus To Guyparkeria Gen. Nov. In The Thioalkalibacteraceae Fam. Nov., With Emended Descriptions Of The Genus Halothiobacillus And Family Halothiobacillaceae, Rich Boden

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

The genus Halothiobacillus contains four species of obligate autotrophs with validly published names, of which Halothiobacillus halophilus and Halothiobacillus hydrothermalis are very distant from the type species – on the basis of the 16S rRNA gene, they have 90.7 % and 90.9 % identity to that of the type species, Halothiobacillus neapolitanus . As these values fall below the Yarza cut-off for the rank of genus, and these two species also show no clear affiliation to the closely related genus Thioalkalibacter , a polyphasic study was undertaken to determine if they represent a separate genus. Unlike Halothiobacillus spp. sensu stricto, …

Justifying Debate As “Cerebral Gymnastics” And As “Glorification Of The Experience Of Play”: An Alternative To William Hawley Davis’S Rejection Of The “Debate As Gaming” Vision For Debate, Matthew P. Brigham

Speaker & Gavel

William Hawley Davis’s “Is Debate Primarily A Game?” (1916) represents an early, prominent effort to justify academic, intercollegiate debate and also, indirectly, societal debate. Davis sharply rebukes those who would conceptualize and/or practice academic debate as if it were a game, arguing instead for a version of debate that more closely approximates real democratic deliberation and thus cultivates the training necessary for meaningful public participation on serious issues. This essay explores other possible justifications for debate, including those that might re-claim play, game, and/or sport. Such alternatives suggest the importance of conceiving debate beyond tragic frames and Platonic Truth claims, …

This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of silver oxide films for use as bactericidal coatings. Synthesis parameters, dissolution/elution rate, and bactericidal efficacy are reported. Synthesis conditions were developed to create AgO, Ag₂O, or mixtures of AgO and Ag₂O on surfaces by reactive magnetron sputtering. The coatings demonstrate strong adhesion to many substrate materials and impede the growth of all bacterial strains tested. The coatings are effective in killing Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, demonstrating a clear zone-of-inhibition against bacteria growing on solid media and the ability to rapidly inhibit bacterial growth in planktonic culture. Additionally, the coatings exhibit very …
