6-Hydroximino-4-Aza-A-Homo-Cholest-3-One And Related Analogue As A Potent Inducer Of Apoptosis In Cancer Cells, Yanmin Huang, Jianguo Cui, Qiaoxia Zheng, Chun Zeng, Quan Chen, Aimin Zhou

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Here we report that 6-hydroximino-4-aza-A-homo-cholest-3-one and 6-hydroxyl-4-aza-A-homo-cholest-3-one, new steroidal lactams were synthesized recently, displayed antiproliferative activity against some cancer cells through inducing cancer cell apoptosis by activation of the intrinsic pathway. The apoptotic function of the compounds was demonstrated by release of cytochrome C, activation of caspase 3 and annexin V labeling. Furthermore, the compound was able to inhibit tumor growth in an athymic mouse model.

Integration Of Eeg-Fmri In An Auditory Oddball Paradigm Using Joint Independent Component Analysis, Jain Mangalathu Arumana

Dissertations (1934 -)

The integration of event-related potential (ERP) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can contribute to characterizing neural networks with high temporal and spatial resolution. The overall objective of this dissertation is to determine the sensitivity and limitations of joint independent component analysis (jICA) within-subject for integration of ERP and fMRI data collected simultaneously in a parametric auditory oddball paradigm. The main experimental finding in this work is that jICA revealed significantly stronger and more extensive activity in brain regions associated with the auditory P300 ERP than a P300 linear regression analysis, both at the group level and within-subject. The results …

Quantitative Biomechanical Evaluation Of Upper Extremity: Strain Behavior Of The Humerus Diaphysis Under Loading, Prateek Grover

Dissertations (1934 -)

While mechanical behavior of the adult human lower extremity long bones under loading has been studied extensively, the same is not true for the adult human humerus. Mechanical data reported for cadaveric humeri and anatomic humerus models are limited to stiffness and rigidity. Strain characteristics of the humerus diaphysis as a function of loading provide a valuable addition to the currently limited knowledge. The objective of this dissertation was to accomplish this goal, using numerical/finite element (FE) methods applied to a standard anatomic humerus model (Reference-Humerus) that was developed from the NIH Visible Human Project for this purpose. Four phases …

Violence And Masculinity In American Fiction, 1950-1975, Magdalen Mckinley

Dissertations (1934 -)

This dissertation explores the intersections of violence, masculinity, and racial and ethnic tension in America as it is depicted in fiction published by Richard Wright, Norman Mailer, Saul Bellow, James Baldwin, and Philip Roth between 1950 and 1975. Through close literary analysis coupled with a study of race and gender in 20th century American culture, I examine the manner in which gendered existential dilemmas are portrayed in this fiction as arising from a number of external factors, including racism, ethnic stereotyping, and the triumph of white heteronormativity as a model of masculinity. In doing so, I offer a reconsideration of …

The Fog Of War Reform: Change And Structure In The Law Of Armed Conflict After September 11, Peter Margulies

Marquette Law Review

Salim Hamdan’s conviction in a military commission for material support of Al Qaeda separates utilitarians, who generally defer to state power, from protective theorists, who seek to shield civilians by curbing official discretion. Utilitarians view military commissions as efficient means for trying suspected terrorists. Protective theorists criticize the amorphous nature of material support charges.

The clash between utilitarians and protective theorists colors other issues, including “enhanced” interrogation and limits on targeting. Protective theorists merit praise for their scrutiny of interrogation. In contrast, utilitarians have trivialized interrogation abuses. However, protective theorists’ scrutiny of states is burdened by hindsight bias. Failing to …

Social Network Dynamics And Biographical Disruption: The Case Of “First-Timers” With Mental Illness, Brea Perry, Bernice A. Pescosolido

Sociology Faculty Publications

This study examines how dynamics surrounding biographical disruptions compare to more routine fluctuations in personal social networks. Using data from the Indianapolis Network Mental Health Study, the authors track changes in patients’ social networks over three years and compare them to a representative sample of persons with no self-reported mental illness. Overall, individuals at the onset of treatment report larger and more broadly functional social networks than individuals in the population at large. However, the number of network ties among the latter increases over time, whereas network size decreases slightly among people using mental health services. As individuals progress through …

The Legacy Of Rux V. Republic Of Sudan And The Future Of The Judicial War On Terror, Chad G. Marzen

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article examines the legal battles of the families of U.S. sailors killed in the 2000 U.S.S. Cole bombing, focusing on their efforts to hold Sudan liable under the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act (FSIA) and the state sponsor of terrorism exception. It explores the procedural history of the Rux and Kumar cases, highlighting the complexities of applying the FSIA and the impact of legislative changes, such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2008, on terrorism-related litigation. The analysis underscores the challenges in balancing judicial authority with legislative intent, particularly in cases involving retroactivity and res judicata.

A Comparative Analysis Of Islamic And Postmodernist Critiques Of Science, M. Hasbullah

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

In this study, we attempt to look at the Western and Islamic critiques of science in the context of modernity. Science is one of the main drivers of modernity, and therefore, reaction to modernity is often discussed in response to modern science and Islamic science discourse. The issue of modernity covers the wider issues across various disciplines such as philosophy, history and sociology. Among the characteristics associated with modernity that have been debated by Western and Islamic scholars such as rationality, objectivity, empiricism, scientific method, the concept of progress, and secularism, and the critique of science by the Western and …

Negotiating Relationships And Intimacy: Bangladeshi Female Migrant Workers In Malaysia, K. Chakraborty

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

This paper will review the context of female Bangladeshi migrant workers in Malaysia. The paper begins by reviewing position of women in Bangladeshi society. This exploration points to the possibilities of a negative reputation when women do venture overseas to work. Then the paper investigates the historical background of Bangladeshi migration to Malaysia. This investigation shows that migration is a highly gendered discourse in both countries. Moreover post-modern policies in Bangladesh and Malaysia have problematized ‘women workers’ in many ways. The paper will then detail the methods used in this research and how they are culturally and gender sensitive to …

Pleurotus Giganteus (Berk.) Karunarathna & K.D. Hyde: Nutritional Value And In Vitro Neurite Outgrowth Activity In Rat Pheochromocytoma Cells, C.W. Phan, W.L. Wong, P. David, M. Naidu, V. Sabaratnam

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

BACKGROUND: Drugs dedicated to alleviate neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's have always been associated with debilitating side effects. Medicinal mushrooms which harness neuropharmacological compounds offer a potential possibility for protection against such diseases. Pleurotus giganteus (formerly known as Panus giganteus) has been consumed by the indigenous people in Peninsular Malaysia for many years. Domestication of this wild mushroom is gaining popularity but to our knowledge, medicinal properties reported for this culinary mushroom are minimal. METHODS: The fruiting bodies P. giganteus were analysed for its nutritional values. Cytotoxicity of the mushroom's aqueous and ethanolic extracts towards PC12, a rat pheochromocytoma …

Tajdid Ilmu Dan Pendidikan : Tinjauan Apresiatif Terhadap Pemikiran Pendidikan Islam Sidek Baba, Z. Othman

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

Kertas kerja ini bertujuan meninjau pemikiran Sidek Baba terhadap tajdid ilmu dan pendidikan. Faktor globalisasi dan perubahan zaman dilihat banyak mempengaruhi kandungan ilmu dan pendekatan pendidikan Islam khususnya di Malaysia. Globalisasi yang mendatang telah menjadikan konsep universal Islam semakin terpinggir. Sifat zaman yang berubah juga memerlukan tinjauan terhadap kandungan ilmu, metodologi pengilmuan dan pendidikan Islam terkini.. Dukungan terhadap perubahan, islah dan reformasi dalam pendidikan sewajarnya dilatari dengan kerangka berfikir dan memahami sumber ilmu berasaskan rujukan al-Quran dan al-Sunnah. Tajdid juga adalah suatu proses perubahan yang berlaku secara strategik ditunjangi oleh kefahaman dan ilmu yang tinggi mengenai sesuatu. Tajdid tidak menolak …

The Role Of Islamic Institutions In The Adoption Of Reduce, Reuse, And Recycle (3r) Practices Among Muslim Communities In Malaysia., N. Idris

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

It has been argued in the literature that religious belief has a role to play in dealing with environmental issues and enhancing environmental practices. In line with this perspective, it is interesting to observe that Muslim communities have started to use the Islamic institutions as an organizational and institutional platform for shown their environmental programmes. In some mosques and small mosques (surau), inspiring green programmes such as the 3R programme have also conducted. However, previous research on the role of religious community in enhancing environmental practices is mostly discussed at the theoretical level and only a handful have undertaken in …

The Post-Iqbal State Of Pleading: An Argument Opposing A Uniform National Pleading Regime, Mark W. Payne

University of Miami Business Law Review

The U.S. Supreme Court's 2009 decision in Ashcroft v. Iqbal placed a squeeze on the once touted liberal Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by requiring judges to consider the veracity of potential plaintiffs' federal claims in light of Iqbal's new heightened pleading standard. This article examines post-Iqbal pleading standards across United States jurisdictions and argues that states should exert caution before choosing to adopt Iqbal's new "plausibility" standard, and if they elect to modify their pleading standards in light of the Iqbal decision, they should also carefully contemplate their method of adoption.
