Salicylic Acid: A Key Regulator Of Redox Signalling 1 And Plant Immunity, Mohd Saleem, Qazi Fariddudin, Christian Castroverde

Biology Faculty Publications

In plants, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed during normal conditions are essential in regulating several processes, like stomatal physiology, pathogen immunity and developmental signaling. However, biotic and abiotic stresses can cause ROS over-accumulation leading to oxidative stress. Therefore, a suitable equilibrium is vital for redox homeostasis in plants, and there have been major advances in this research arena. Salicylic acid (SA) is known as a chief regulator of ROS; however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. SA plays an important role in establishing the hypersensitive response (HR) and systemic acquired resistance (SAR). This is underpinned by a robust and …

Explaining Florida Man, Ira P. Robbins

Florida State University Law Review

"Tlorida Man" is a popular cultural phenomenon in which journalists report on Floridians' unusual (and often criminal) behavior, and readers relish in and share the stories, largely on social media. A meme based on Florida Man news stories emerged in 2013 and continues to capture people's attention nationwide. Florida Man is one of the latest unique trends to come from the Sunshine State and contributes to Florida's reputation as a quirky place. Explanations for Florida Man center on Florida's Public Records Law, which is known as one of the most expansive open records laws in the country. All states and …

Leading From The Back Of The Pack, Cali A. Rasmussen

IPS/BAS 495 Undergraduate Capstone Projects

Can a project be considered a success even if you do not necessarily meet the goals you had originally established for the project? The beginning of any project is filled with optimism and excitement for the possibilities of the future and the potential outcome. Through the course of the past 13 weeks I saw success, but not necessarily in the quantifiable areas in which I had thought I would be successful. However, the impact of this project will be felt hopefully for years to come and for myself, the lessons learned will certainly stay with me as I prepare for …

Cbd And Gluten-Free: Compliance Challenges And Regulatory Action In New Areas Of Food And Drug Law, Christine Abely

Florida State University Law Review

This Article examines the challenges of regulating new areas of food and drug law and promoting industry compliance by considering two case studies: the U.S. regulation of cannabidiol (CBD) products and that of gluten-free items. Gluten-free claims on packaged foods have been subject to a set of U.S. Food and Drug Administ ration rules since those rules became effective in 2014. This new regulatory standard has improved the ability of consumers who need to rely on gluten-free labeling for health reasons to do so. Some concerns remain, however, about the mislabeling of foods that legally cannot be termed as gluten-free …

Validation Of High-Resolution Melting Assays For The Detection Of Virulent Strains Of Escherichia Coli O26 And O111 In Beef And Pork Enrichment Broths, Frank J. Velez, Joseph M. Bosilevac, Prashant Singh

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

Extensive validation of diagnostic assays using widely collected surveillance samples is critical for developing pathogen detection assays. The detection of potentially virulent E. coli strains is critical to the red meat industry. We previously developed two high-resolution melting (HRM) assays for detecting potentially virulent and avirulent E. coli O26 and O111 strains. Assays were validated using enriched beef (n = 36) and pork (n = 36) samples collected as part of a U.S. federal regulatory surveillance program. Data from this study showed more than 90% sensitivity and specificity for both the HRM assays, demonstrating suitability for the red meat industry …

Genomic Analysis Of Shiga Toxin-Containing Escherichia Coli O157:H7 Isolated From Argentinean Cattle, Ariel Amadio, James L. Bono, Matías Irazoqui, Mariano Larzábal, Wanderson Marques Da Silva, María Florencia Eberhardt, Nahuel A. Riviere, David Gally, Shannon D. Manning, Angel Cataldi

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

Cattle are the main reservoir of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), with O157:H7 the distinctive serotype. EHEC is the main causative agent of a severe systemic disease, Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). Argentina has the highest pediatric HUS incidence worldwide with 12–14 cases per 100,000 children. Herein, we assessed the genomes of EHEC O157:H7 isolates recovered from cattle in the humid Pampas of Argentina. According to phylogenetic studies, EHEC O157 can be divided into clades. Clade 8 strains that were classified as hypervirulent. Most of the strains of this clade have a Shiga toxin stx2a-stx2c genotype. To better understand the molecular bases …

Natural Goodness, Sex, And The Perverted Faculty Argument, Christopher Arroyo

Philosophy Faculty Publications

There is a longstanding and widely held view, often associated with Catholicism, that intrinsically nonprocreative human sex acts are intrinsically immoral. Some philoso- phers who hold this view, such as Edward Feser, claim that they can defend the view on purely philosophical grounds by relying on the perverted faculty argument. This paper argues that Feser’s defense of the perverted faculty argument does not work because Feser fails to recognize the full implications of the species-dependence of natural goodness. By drawing on the work of Peter Geach and Philippa Foot, this paper presents a view of natural goodness that adequately accounts …

A Fundamental Exploration Of The Interactions Between Minerals And Life’S Building Blocks In Deep Time, Jasmina Wiemann

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Complex organic matter is the most abundant form of organic carbon in the fossil record on Earth and in geological materials delivered from Space. It is unclear how complex organic matter preserved in fossils and meteorites forms in different terrestrial and extraterrestrial geological settings. The molecular make-up of decay-resistant organic polymers in fossils and meteorites has the potential to preserve biological signals and record geological conditions in deepest time. Carbonaceous fossil morphologies resembling cells, extracellular matrix and entire tissue architectures have provided pivotal insights into the evolutionary history of life. Fossil soft tissues within vertebrate hard tissues have been a …

Review Of Liberia, South Carolina: An African American Appalachian Community, By John M. Coggeshall, Cicero Fain

History Faculty Research

Examining 150 years of history of a small, rural African American community, John M. Coggeshall’s Liberia, South Carolina: An African American Appalachian Community, contributes to recent studies elevating Black Appalachian voices, perspectives, and cultures previously historically elided. Located in Pickens County in the Blue Ridge region of western South Carolina, Liberia, like a lot of rural communities, exists less “as a legally defined entity and more a culturally defined area of recognized neighborly ties.”

Martin Puryear: 40 Years Since Sentinel, Merlyn I. Maldonado Lopez, Shannon Egan

Schmucker Art Catalogs

Artist Martin Puryear’s commitment to seeing objects as connected to history and culture resonates with a moment when Gettysburg College reflected on the significance of its own historical place and time. As the College approached the sesquicentennial anniversary of its founding, it decided to mark the occasion not with a ball or parade, but with “an intelligent artifact,” a permanent marker that both recognizes its maker and offers its own history. In 1980, Associate Dean of the College Robert Nordvall suggested to President Charles Glassick that they ought to commission a monumental sculpture on campus. Glassick then created the Ad …

The Motive To Work: Assessing Organizational Motivation Within The Federal Probation System, Aleda M. Thomas

Dissertations

Competition within the United States workforce is growing at an unprecedented rate. Turnover rates of all organizations and businesses have reached an all-time high. According to the U.S. Labor Department, 4.3 million Americans quit their job in the month of August alone. Times have shifted to where the ball no longer resides on the side of employers, but now it resides with employees. As such, it is vital to ensure workplaces are enjoyable and encompass cultures that produce high levels of motivation, satisfaction, and engagement. As such, the retention of skilled and qualified employees must be at the forefront of …

Developing And Applying An Integrated Spatial Karst Evaluation And Management Priority Tool: Case Study In Tongass National Forest, Alaska, Usa, Christian Decelle

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Karst terrains are complex landscapes that are sensitive to human disturbance. Human activities have polluted and impacted many of these terrains around the world. To preserve these unique landscapes, many karst regions are protected and designated as national parks, geologic special areas, or UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. Despite the widespread general protection of karst landscapes globally, a review of each area’s management plan reveals there is no standardized method of cave and karst management or evaluation of karst impacts.

The non-standardization of karst management strategies may be due to the gap that exists between the needs of karst land managers and …

Optimization Of Sds Page Analysis Of Parvalbumin Protein In Fish, Nguyen Le

Undergraduate Research (Journal)

SDS PAGE technique plays an essential role in the study of protein. However, this analytical method occasionally suffers from limitations such as poor separation, signal reduction, or total absence of target bands. This research aims to develop a protocol to improve the consistency of the technique while quantifying 10-12kDa parvalbumin proteins. It is a major fish allergen associated with neurodegenerative diseases, yet, the amount of parvalbumin in different kinds of fish has not been published. In this research, proteins in flounder, white, catfish and tilapia were extracted with PBS and quantified with Bradford assay and SDS PAGE. The results supported …

Fisheries Science Update - West Coast Demersal Scalefish Resource - October 2021, Department Of Primary Industries And Regional Development, Western Australia

Fisheries Science Updates

The West Coast Demersal Scalefish Resource (WCDSR) is halfway into a 20-year recovery plan following a period of overfishing in the 1990s and 2000s.

This latest assessment provides an important “health check” on the recovery status.

The recovery plan is based on maintaining recreational (including charter) and commercial sector’s total fishing mortality below catch limits and protecting key spawning aggregations to recover the WCDSR by 2030.

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) tracks recovery progress by undertaking weight of evidence stock assessments of WCDSR indicator species dhufish and pink snapper every 3-5 years.

The latest science shows …
