Snapshot: Lysine Methylation Beyond Histones, Kyle K. Biggar, Zhentian Wang, Shawn S.C. Li

Paediatrics Publications

Lysine methylation is a prevalent post-translational modification (PTM) used by the cell to reversibly regulate protein function. Although it has been extensively studied in the context of histones and the associated chromatin, the remaining methyllysine proteome remains largely unexplored. This SnapShot provides an overview of the current state of lysine methylation research and its emergence as a dynamic PTM occurring on histone and non-histone proteins. Lysine methylation is a prevalent post-translational modification (PTM) used by the cell to reversibly regulate protein function. Although it has been extensively studied in the context of histones and the associated chromatin, the remaining methyllysine …

Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation In The Obese Patient Population An Intervention To Enhance Oxygenation: A Quality Improvement Project, Justin Smith

Doctoral Projects

Obesity is a comorbidity that can be challenging to the anesthetist. Patients who are obese are at risk for rapidly desaturating after becoming apneic during the induction of a general anesthetic. This rapid desaturation is mainly attributed to their decreased oxygen reserve that is a result of their obesity. Mississippi is known to have a disproportionately higher percentage of citizens who are obese, compared to other states (Johnson, 2016). Desaturation in the obese is important to avoid because it leads to atelectasis and prolongs recovery. When an anesthetist is providing a general anesthetic to the obese patient population, it is …

NK cell activation has been shown to be metabolically regulated in vitro; however, the role of metabolism during in vivo NK cell responses to infection is unknown. We examined the role of glycolysis in NK cell function during murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection and the ability of IL-15 to prime NK cells during CMV infection. The glucose metabolism inhibitor 2-deoxy-ᴅ-glucose (2DG) impaired both mouse and human NK cell cytotoxicity following priming in vitro. Similarly, MCMV-infected mice treated with 2DG had impaired clearance of NK-specific targets in vivo, which was associated with higher viral burden and susceptibility to infection on the C57BL/6 …

Calvin College uses 161,000 MMBTU of natural gas per year, which correlates to $836,000 of annual expenses. However Calvin could save as much as $240,000 on natural gas if they were as efficient as the top performer in an energy audit of similar colleges and universities in the Midwest, conducted by Sightlines Institute. The goal of this project was to see what actions could be taken to save the college $75,000 in annual natural gas costs.

Optimal Transfer Point Locations In Two-Stage Distribution Systems, Jeffrey A. Mcdougall, Luis Daniel Otero

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications

Limited range of emerging delivery vehicles, speci cally unmanned aerial systems, creates gaps in last mile retail distribution networks and excludes signi cant numbers of potential customers. Implementing a two-stage distribution process is one approach that eliminates this de cit. However, dispatchers must load the vehicles hauling orders in the initial stage of the process and assign orders for delivery to transfer points in a way that ensures timely arrival while utilizing only the minimum required resources. This paper investigates the capacitated transfer point covering problem which has, until now, been unstudied. The research proposes a mathematical programming model to …

Classification Of A Meteorite Found Near Colgate, North Dakota, Justin Germann

Undergraduate Theses and Senior Projects

In 1999 a 39 Kg stony meteorite was found near Colgate, North Dakota, during the construction of a new house. The surface of the meteorite contains many shallow regmaglypts and a weathered crust with a reddish orange color to dark brown-red, and the interior reveals a high abundance of metallic flecks. The SiO2/MgO ratio is 1.5, FeO/SiO2 ratio is 0.71, the Femetallic/FeO ratio is 0.72, the total metallic Fe is 19.8%,the average chondrule diameter is 0.3 mm, and the Fa composition is 20.27 mol%. The meteorite also has a crystalline matrix, with mostly well segregated chondrules, little igneous glass, and …

Forecasting The Spread And Invasive Potential Of Apple Snails (Pomacea Spp.) In Florida, Stephanie A. Reilly

HCNSO Student Theses and Dissertations

Forecasting the potential range of invasive species is a critical component for risk assessment, monitoring, and management. However, many of these invasive species are not yet at equilibrium which can be problematic for many modelling approaches. Using the climate matching method, MaxEnt, a series of species distribution models (SDMs) and risk analysis maps were created for select apple snail species in Florida: Pomacea canaliculata, P. diffusa, and P. maculata. Apple snails, freshwater gastropods in the family Ampullariidae, are native to South America and were introduced to the United States via the pet trade approximately 40 years ago. …

Insights Into The Molecular Roles Of Zika Virus In Human Reproductive Complications And Congenital Neuropathologies, Rajendra Ghardbaran, Latchman Somenarain

Publications and Research

The recent upsurge in the association of congenital neurological disorders and infection by the Zika virus (ZIKV) has resulted in increased research focus on the biology of this flavivirus. Studies in animal models indicate that ZIKV can breach the placental barrier and selectively infect and deplete neuroprogenitor cells (NPCs) of the developing fetus, resulting in changes of brain structures, reminiscent of human microcephaly. In vitro and ex vivo studies using human cells and tissues showed that human NPCs and placental cells are targeted by ZIKV. Also of concern is the impact of ZIKV on human reproductive structures, with the potential …

Development Of An Algorithm For Satellite Remote Sensing Of Sea And Lake Ice, Peter Dorofy

Theses and Dissertations

Satellite remote sensing of snow and ice has a long history. The traditional method for many snow and ice detection algorithms has been the use of the Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI). This manuscript is composed of two parts. Chapter 1, Development of a Mid-Infrared Sea and Lake Ice Index (MISI) using the GOES Imager, discusses the desirability, development, and implementation of alternative index for an ice detection algorithm, application of the algorithm to the detection of lake ice, and qualitative validation against other ice mapping products; such as, the Ice Mapping System (IMS). Chapter 2, Application of Dynamic Threshold …
