Enhancing the T-shaped learning profile when teaching hydrology using data, modeling, and visualization activities

Creator:: Sanchez, C. A., Ruddell, B. L., Schiesser, R., and Merwade, V.
Abstract:: Previous research has suggested that the use of more authentic learning activities can produce more robust and durable knowledge gains. This is consistent with calls within civil engineering education, specifically hydrology, that suggest that curricula should more often include professional perspective and data analysis skills to better develop the ‘T-shaped’...

Simulated Evolution of Protein-Protein Interaction Networks with Realistic Topology

Creator:: Peterson, G. Jack, Pressé, Steve, Peterson, Kristin S., and Dill, Ken A.
Abstract:: We model the evolution of eukaryotic protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. In our model, PPI networks evolve by two known biological mechanisms: (1) Gene duplication, which is followed by rapid diversification of duplicate interactions. (2) Neofunctionalization, in which a mutation leads to a new interaction with some other protein. Since many...

Effect of age-based and environment-based cues on reproductive investment in Gambusia affinis

Creator:: Billman, Eric J. and Belk, Mark C.
Abstract:: We examined the multivariate life-history trajectories of age 0 and age 1 female Gambusia affinis to determine relative effects of age-based and environment-based cues on reproductive investment.

Comparison of fixatives and fixation time for PCR detection of Mycobacterium in zebrafish Danio rerio

Creator:: Peterson, Tracy S., Kent, Michael L., Ferguson, Jayde A., Watral, Virginia G., and Whipps, Christopher M.
Abstract:: Mycobacteriosis is a common disease of laboratory zebrafish Danio rerio. Different infection patterns occur in zebrafish depending on mycobacterial species. Mycobacterium marinum and M. haemophilum produce virulent infections associated with high mortality, whereas M. chelonae is more widespread and is not associated with high mortality. Identification of mycobacterial infections to...

What the Inbred Scandinavian Wolf Population Tells Us about the Nature of Conservation

Creator:: Räikkönen, Jannikke, Vucetich, John A., Vucetich, Leah M., Peterson, Rolf O., and Nelson, Michael P.
Abstract:: The genetic aspects of population health are critical, but frequently difficult to assess. Of concern has been the genetic constitution of Scandinavian wolves (Canis lupus), which represent an important case in conservation. We examined the incidence of different congenital anomalies for 171 Scandinavian wolves, including the immigrant founder female, born...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Macroinvertebrates in Spawning and Non-Spawning Habitats during a Salmon Run in Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Campbell, Emily Y., Merritt, Richard W., Cummins, Kenneth W., and Benbow, M. Eric
Abstract:: Spawning salmon create patches of disturbance through redd digging which can reduce macroinvertebrate abundance and biomass in spawning habitat. We asked whether displaced invertebrates use non-spawning habitats as refugia in streams. Our study explored how the spatial and temporal distribution of macroinvertebrates changed during a pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) spawning...

Creator:: Vidal-Dupiol, Jeremie, Zoccola, Didier, Tambutté, Eric, Grunau, Christoph, Cosseau, Céline, Smith, Kristina M., Freitag, Michael, Dheilly, Nolwenn M., Allemand, Denis, and Tambutté, Sylvie
Abstract:: Since the preindustrial era, the average surface ocean pH has declined by 0.1 pH units and is predicted to decline by an additional 0.3 units by the year 2100. Although subtle, this decreasing pH has profound effects on the seawater saturation state of carbonate minerals and is thus predicted to...

Abstract:: For ethical and logistical reasons, population-genetic studies of parasites often rely on the non-invasive sampling of offspring shed from their definitive hosts. However, if the sampled offspring are naturally derived from a small number of parents, then the strong family structure can result in biased population-level estimates of genetic parameters,...

Selective Ablation of Ctip2/Bcl11b in Epidermal Keratinocytes Triggers Atopic Dermatitis-Like Skin Inflammatory Responses in Adult Mice

Abstract:: Background: Ctip2 is crucial for epidermal homeostasis and protective barrier formation in developing mouse embryos. Selective ablation of Ctip2 in epidermis leads to increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL), impaired epidermal proliferation, terminal differentiation, as well as altered lipid composition during development. However, little is known about the role of Ctip2...

Creator:: O’Donnell, Edmond F., Kopparapu, Prasad Rao, Koch, Daniel C., Jang, Hyo Sang, Phillips, Jessica Lynne, Tanguay, Robert L., Kerkvliet, Nancy I., and Kolluri, Siva Kumar
Abstract:: A novel role of the dihydroorotatedehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibitor leflunomide as a potential anti-melanoma therapy was recently reported (Nature 471: 518-22, 2011). We previously reported that leflunomide strongly activates the transcriptional activity of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR). We therefore tested whether the AhR regulates the anti-proliferative effects of leflunomide in...
