Radiopaque Activity Of Iodine Containing Methylene-Bis-Carbamate, Baltabaev Ubaydulla, Djuraev Abdukahhor, Abduvakilov Jahongir, Abdullaeva Matluba

CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Considering that many derivatives of bis carbamates have different biological activity, it was intuitive to produce a targeted synthesis of new derivatives of bis carbamates by the interaction of hexamethylene diisocyanate with 3,5-diode-4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 2,4,6-triiodophenol (1: 2 mol, respectively) in freshly distilled dry pyridine at 95-110 оC for 6 hours, the corresponding derivatives were obtained - methylene bis carbamates. Experimental studies have been conducted to identify the acute toxicity and radiopaque properties of the synthesized new N, -hexamethylene bis (2,6-diode-4-carboxyphenylcarbamate).

Resource Selection At Homesites By Wolves And Eastern Coyotes In A Canis Hybrid Zone, Teresa Oliveira, John F. Benson, Connor Thompson, Brent R. Patterson

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

We modeled resource selection by wolves (Canis spp.), eastern coyotes (C. latrans), and admixed canids during the pup-rearing season at den and rendezvous sites (collectively, homesites) within a largely unprotected landscape proposed as the recovery zone for federally and provincially threatened eastern wolves (C. lycaon) in Ontario, Canada. Overall, canids selected wetlands, while avoiding secondary roads and open-structure rock-grass habitat patches. Packs with greater wolf ancestry selected wetlands and tertiary roads more strongly, while avoiding mixed conifer-hardwood forests. Contrary to our prediction, canids with greater coyote ancestry did not establish homesites closer to roads, which likely mitigated their risk of …

The Integrative Effects Of Global Legal Pluralism, Monica Hakimi

Book Chapters

International lawyers widely understand that legal pluralism is a fact of global life and that it can, in certain settings, be desirable. But many still approach it with some trepidation. A prominent skeptical claim is that pluralist structures lack the integrative resources that unify people around a shared governance project. This claim has been prominent with respect to two kinds of conflicts that are routine in international law: (1) conflicts that play out within a single international legal arrangement, and (2) conflicts that cut across multiple legal arrangements. For both, the skeptical claim is directed at the pluralist structure itself. …

Introgression Of The Afila Gene Into Climbing Garden Pea (Pisum Sativum L.), Oscar Eduardo Checa, Marino Rodriguez, Xingbo Wu, Matthew Wohlgemuth Blair

Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Faculty Research

The pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the most important crops in temperate agriculture around the world. In the tropics, highland production is also common with multiple harvests of nearly mature seeds from climbing plant types on trellises. While the leafless variant caused by the afila gene is widely used in developing row-cropped field peas in Europe, its use for trellised garden peas has not been reported. In this study we describe a pea breeding program for a high-elevation tropical environment in the Department of Nariño in Colombia, where over 16,000 hectares of the crop are produced. The most …

Splicing Factor Sf3b1 Promotes Endometrial Cancer Progression Via Regulating Ksr2 Rna Maturation, Pooja Popli, Megan M Richters, Sangappa B Chadchan, Tae Hoon Kim, Eric Tycksen, Obi Griffith, Premal H Thaker, Malachi Griffith, Ramakrishna Kommagani

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Although endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the female reproductive tract, we have little understanding of what controls endometrial cancer beyond the transcriptional effects of steroid hormones such as estrogen. As a result, we have limited therapeutic options for the ~62,000 women diagnosed with endometrial cancer each year in the United States. Here, in an attempt to identify new prognostic and therapeutic targets, we focused on a new area for this cancer-alternative mRNA splicing-and investigated whether splicing factor, SF3B1, plays an important role in endometrial cancer pathogenesis. Using a tissue microarray, we found that human endometrial tumors expressed …

Insights Into Gene Expression And The Influence Of Regulatory Mechanisms Within Meningioma - A Bioinformatic Approach, Louise Carr

The Plymouth Student Scientist

Meningioma is cancer of the meninges, the protective lining of the brain and spinal cord. Currently meningioma is classified using WHO Grades (I-III) which is based on histological characteristics of the tumours. This approach can give inaccurate indication of tumour aggression and therefore an inappropriate treatment course is chosen. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes that may act as biomarkers to indicate tumour aggressiveness. A further aim was to infer and investigate the role of specific gene expression regulatory mechanisms within meningioma. Bioinformatic approaches for transcriptomic analysis were used to study microarray data of 62 …

Evaluating The Role Of Citizen Science In Biological Investigations, Fiona Day

The Plymouth Student Scientist

Considering recent and predicted ecological changes (caused by global climate change), baseline monitoring of biological diversity becomes an extremely useful record to have. Citizen science provides a unique, low-cost, high output method of attaining large data sets which has already been implemented in several studies. They are used by major bodies such as the Natural History Museum, OPAL and the RSPB. Despite this concerns lie with the accuracy of the data – can volunteers really produce real data? In this study various aspects were investigated, firstly the current public opinion about citizen science, how we can train volunteers carrying out …
