  • The influence of selenium on selenoprotein W

    Creator:
    Yeh, Jan-ying
    Abstract:
    The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of selenium on selenoprotein W. Western blot analysis indicated that selenoprotein W is present in muscle, brain, testis and spleen of rat tissues. Tissue distribution of selenoprotein W was not altered in rats fed various selenium levels. Among muscle, brain,...

  • Characterization of rodent selenoprotein W promoter

    Creator:
    Amantana, Adams
    Abstract:
    Rat selenoprotein W (SeW) promoter activity was investigated using different concentrations of cadmium, copper, and zinc. Two fragments (404bp and 1265bp) of the SeW promoter, containing a single metal response element (MRE), were ligated into the multiple cloning site of a pGL3-Basic reporter plasmid. The constructs were transfected into cultured...

  • Development and Application of Tools for Genetic Analysis of Clonal Populations

    Creator:
    Kamvar, Zhian N.
    Abstract:
    Research on the population genetics of microbial organisms requires the use of specialized analyses designed for clonal organisms to avoid violating the assumptions of traditional population genetic models. The tools necessary for performing these analyses existed as a set of unrelated software with non-overlapping capabilities and did not cover all...

  • A. W. N. Pugin and St. Augustine’s, Ramsgate : a nineteenth-century English gothic revivalist and his church

    Creator:
    Burton, Kathryn Lee
    Abstract:
    A. W. N. Pugin was a driving force in the Gothic Revival movement in England during the first half of the nineteenth century. He was an architect and a writer who expounded on the virtues of reviving Gothic architecture, not only for its reflection of the sacred mystery of ancient...

  • Sexual maturity and performance of white leghorn pullets subjected to intermittent watering, lighting regimes, and nutrient restrictions

    Creator:
    Spiller, Robert James
    Abstract:
    A series of 8 experiments was conducted to investigate various methods of delaying the sexual maturity of developing White Leghorn (W. L.) pullets grown during a period of increasing day length and to control the feed intake of W. L. layers. In the first five experiments W. L. pullets were...

  • Multiple-fault detection in iterative arrays

    Creator:
    Ramamurti, Chandramouli
    Abstract:
    With the advent of LSI, iterative forms of realization of digital systems are becoming increasingly popular with system designers. Many problems occurring in digital computer design render themselves suitable for iterative realization. These include adders, arithmetic logic units, coding and decoding circuits and so on. Fault-free functioning of such systems...

  • Modeling of forced planetary waves in the Mars atmosphere

    Creator:
    Hollingsworth, Jeffery L.
    Abstract:
    Mariner 9 and Viking spacecraft observations during the 1970's have provided evidence for planetary-scale wave-like disturbances in the Mars atmosphere. It has been suggested that possible sources of the wave activity are dynamical instabilities (e.g., barotropic and/or baroclinic instabilities). An other candidate source is forced, quasi-stationary planetary waves. In connection...

  • Disentangling the Biotic and Abiotic Drivers of the Amphibian Disease Chytridiomycosis

    Creator:
    Bradley, Paul W.
    Abstract:
    The ongoing worldwide loss of biodiversity has been described as a "biodiversity crisis," "the Anthropocene defaunation," and alternatively "an extinction spasm." More recently, many scientists have come to the conclusion that we are witnesses to Earth's sixth major mass extinction event, which has the potential to fundamentally alter basic ecological...

  • Selenoprotein W : Purification and characterization of its interaction with calmodulin

    Creator:
    Bauman, Andrew Thomas
    Abstract:
    Selenoprotein W (SeW) is a protein whose function is unknown, but potentially plays a vital role in calcium metabolism, as an indirect link has been established with white muscle disease (WMD). White muscle disease occurs in selenium deficient animals, and is characterized by the precipitation of calcium in muscle, leading...
