## Development of DA and 5HT neurons involved in reward-associated behavior in zebrafish

- Su Guo, Ph.D.

- University of california, San Francisco

## 3-day old zebrafish labeled with anti-TH and 5HT antibodies

## Questions

- Do zebrafish have reward-associated behavior?
- Experience-dependent morphine preference
- Do the basal forebrain DA/5HT neurons play a role in this behavior?
- The *too few* mutant
- How is the development of basal forebrain DA/5HT neurons regulated?
- The *foggy* mutant

## Zebrafish: a vertebrate genetic model organism

- Small-size

- High fecundity

- Easy to maintain
- In large numbers

- Rapid development

- Optically transparent

- In vivo tracing of
- biological processes

## What is reward-associated behavior?

- A prior exposure to a substance elicits a preference behavior for the substance:
- Spend more time in the substance-paired side (CPP)
- Self-administer the substance

## Studying reward-associated behavior in larval zebrafish

- Larval zebrafish are amenable to genetic analysis and the study of cellular mechanisms
- Larval zebrafish are free-living (food hunting, escaping)
- The nervous system of larval zebrafish is more plastic than adult zebrafish.

## Choice chamber

## Larval zebrafish show experience-dependent preference for morphine

## Morphine preference is dependent on opioid receptors

## The too few mutant

## The basal forebrain DA/5HT neurons are required for morphine preference behavior

## Functional analogy of zf basal FB to mammalian MB DA neurons 

## How is the development of basal FB DA and 5HT neurons regulated? 

- Will the mechanisms be homologous to mammalian FB or MB neurons?
- What are the genes and pathways involved in the development of these neurons?

## Mutagenesis screen

## Mutations affecting the development of basal FB DA/5HT neurons

*too few*
*motionless*
*twin-of-motionless*
*foggy*

## The foggy mutant

- WT

*foggy*

## foggy encodes a regulator of transcription elongation

## The importance of regulating transcription elongation during development

**promoter**

**Transcription **
**initiation**

**Transcription**
**elongation**

## foggy expression

## The foggy mutation selectively disrupts its repressor activity

## Question

- What genes are  de-repressed that leads to defects in DA/5HT neuron development?
- Micro-array study
- How is *foggy*’s repressor activity regulated during development?
- Focus on the function of the C-terminal domain, where the foggy mutation resides.

## Summary

- Zebrafish is an attractive genetic model organism to study:
-  the development of specific neuronal types.
- The developmental alteration that leads to abnormal reward-associated behavior.

## Truck Stop Electrification

- And Air Quality Conformity

- Presented by Bob Dickinson
- South East Texas Regional
- Planning Commission
- Air Innovation Conference
- August 11, 2004

## Background

- JOHRTS had a SIP based on INTRASTATE Transport.
- This aligned our attainment date to 2007.
- EPA was sued for approving this SIP.
- In December 2002, the Court ruled against EPA.
- JOHRTS went into a Conformity Lapse in November 2003.

- With no approved NOx MVEB, JOHRTS had to use the Build/No Build Test for NOx.
- The results showed that we passed the VOC test, but needed reductions to pass the NOx test.

| Network Year | NOx Reductions |
| --- | --- |
| 2005 | 6 pounds |
| 2015 | 424 pounds |
| 2025 | 229 pounds |

## Conformity Strategies

- As part of the Interagency Consultation process, TxDOT TPP and TTI provided outstanding support.
- TTI developed a list of possible strategies to help meet the required reductions.
- JOHRTS selected two strategies which would allow us to pass conformity.

## Truck Stop Electrification (TSE)

- TSE is one of the strategies we choose.
- El Paso MPO is implementing TSE, but not to meet conformity.
- Other MPOs through the US are working with TSE as a CMAQ project.

## What is TSE?

- It is equipment that allows semi drivers the ability to heat/cool their cabs when they are stopped WITHOUT having to run their engines.

## TSE – It is new	

- JOHRTS appears to be the first MPO to try to use TSE to pass conformity.
- This raised questions about how to do it.
- TSE measures of Off-road Emissions but conformity is based on On-road Emissions.
- FHWA and EPA agreed to allow us to use TSE for conformity.

## TSE – More challenges

- How do you calculate the savings?
- Mobile6 versus other data
- EPA draft guidance
- EPA final guidance
- EPA is funding an advanced study

- TSE – How do you build it?

- JOHRTS plans to use CMAQ funds
- Public – Private Partnerships.

## TSE Contract

- Must define who owns the equipment if the builder defaults.
- Must define how profits will be handled.
- Additional contractual issues.

- TSE – Can it be done?

- Yes, it is feasible in the JOHRTS area.

## Regeneratively Cooled Composite Structure for Lightweight Engines

- An innovative concept for regeneratively cooled ceramic matrix composite propulsion components has been developed. ESLI’s flocking technology for attaching fibers to substrates has been used to demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating 3D cooled composite structures consisting of carbon and silicon carbide.

**      ****GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS**
- Numerous potential NASA launch vehicle applications exist for the use of actively cooled fintube ceramic matrix composites. Rocket propulsion component applications include: cooled panels for rocket-based combined cycle systems, cooled nozzles and ramps, and cooled thrust cells. The technology could also be applied to actively cooled thermal protection systems for high-heat flux regions such as leading edges.
- This actively cooled composite technology could also be used in Department of Defense launch and in-space vehicles, and in Department of Energy power generation fusion tokamaks.

**Regeneratively Cooled Composite Structure for Lightweight Engines**

**                               ****ACCOMPLISHMENTS**
- Assessment of fintube composite structures indicated that X-33 aerospike nozzle ramp design requirements could be met.
- Thermostructural analyses showed aerospike ramp thermal stresses could be feasibly managed with all silicon carbide composite structures or silicon carbide structures with glassy carbon tubing.
- Cooled panel structures were fabricated to demonstrate the ceramic matrix composite materials concept.
- Through mechanical and heat transfer testing, the low-density fintube concept was shown to meet the thermal conductivity requirements necessary for an actively cooled composite structure such as the X-33 nozzle ramp.
- While further development is necessary, the SBIR program has enabled the feasibility of the innovative composite fintube concept to be demonstrated in a cost-effective manner.
**                              ****COMMERCIALIZATION**
- While the technology needs to be further developed, many applications of this technology should be possible. Fintube ceramic matrix composites of the type examined in this SBIR are being considered for possible inclusion in high-temperature propulsion systems currently being developed by several major aerospace companies.
- Where heat removal is important and the use temperature is not as severe as in rocket propulsion applications, high-conductivity polymer or metal matrix composites should be feasible.

## Potential Areas for Investment in Colombia

-  Presented by:Francisco J. FernandezDeputy Political/Economic CounselorAmembassy Bogota

## Areas for Potential Investment

- ATPA derived benefits
- Textile sector preparing for large expansion
- Importing US cotton and finishing with local or regional content
- Import of fabric from region and finishing in Colombia
- Use of domestic fabric and design to meet 75% enhanced ATPA criteria
- Hope to generate $200 million in exports within two years as well as over 100,000 jobs

## Potential Investment

- Footwear
- Awaiting Presidential determination
- Estimates of up to $50-100 million in exports within 12-24 months
- 10,000 new jobs possible

- Tuna Processing
- Development of foil packing.
- Export of Colombian tuna for packing in another ATPA country

## Transportation sector

- Projects in Mass Transit in Urban capitals.
- Both bus and metro services
- Development of Short-rail lines in capitals
- Development of Rio Magdalena River transport system
- Development of New Highway Corridors accompanied by increased security efforts
- Port Development Projects on both Caribbean and Pacific Coasts

## Pitfalls to Investment

- Security situation, although improving, still serious
- Unclear rules regarding International Arbitration
- Sometimes upheld (Nortel); sometimes not (TermoRio/Sithe Energy)
- Excessive Bureaucracy (example – environmental permits)
- Difficult credit climate (10% or more real interest rates)

## Oil and Gas

- Huge potential, with estimated reserves of over 40 billion barrels and proven reserves of only 2 billion
- New royalty laws allow for flexibility depending on size of field
- Gas development also a a major area, with Cusiana/Cupiagua gas treatment facility and project to export gas to Venezuela and other neighboring countries
- Colombia could be a net importer of oil and gas by 2008 given the slowdown in exploration

## Oil and Gas - problems

- Security situation makes exploration difficult; only one company left doing seismic studies
- Also, precedents of state company not wishing to extend contracts or let companies continue to operate under O&M contracts
- Terrorist attacks of pipelines constant threat (both major pipelines from Cano Limon and Cusiana/Cupiagua field have been attacked and shut down
- Cano Limon did not operate for 7 months in 2001 leading to losses of $450 million
- Cusiana/Cupiagua pipeline was perforated for the first time in 2002

- Raise awareness about environmental management of asthma through activities on World Asthma Day and throughout the month of May.
- Generate and support local, regional and national community awareness events.
- Developed EPA event planning kit.
- Available on IED web site

**Notes:**
Why are we working in this area?  Well, because we believe in the adage “I can show you better than I can tell you.”  We can hand out all the pamphlets we want, but it’s a lot less effective than actually having someone in your home showing you what mold looks like and handing you a high efficiency vacuum bag.  This is a great example of where we as a national program truly need to work with trained, trusted people in the community who have an entrée into people’s homes.  We determined that our role in this at the national level is to try to create or find excellent programs that can be easily and successfully replicated in different communities across the country.

## “Goldfish Campaign”

## What Can You Do?

- Plan a local asthma awareness event for the month of May
- Order and use free EPA materials to educate patients and the public
- Enlist the participation of other local asthma groups

## Is it a “HAZARD”?

- Addressed earlier today

- FMC in a HACCP Environment

- September 24, 2002

## Is it “Reasonably Likely to Occur”?

- Use of Sound Scientific Data
- Methods Vary by Ingredient to Determine Frequency
- Fluid – Filters/Strainers/Magnets
- Dry – Sifters/Screens/Magnets
- Particulate – Visual/Magnets/Metal Detection

## AGGRENOXTMConclusion

**AGGRENOXTM**Conclusion

- AGGRENOXTM represents a therapeutic advance to the secondary prevention of stroke that builds on the clinical experience with its components
- The findings both ***ex vivo*** and ***in vivo*** are consistent with additive beneficial effects of aspirin and dipyridamole

## AGGRENOXTMConclusion

- ESPS-2 provides compelling evidence of the safety and efficacy of AGGRENOXTM that can be generalized to clinical practice
- ESPS-2 is robust and eliminates concerns regarding chance or bias as the basis for the findings
- ESPS-2 meets the requirements for a single trial to support approvability

## AGGRENOXTMConclusion

- The factorial and pairwise comparisons support the conclusion that in the secondary prevention of stroke
**AGGRENOXTM**
- is significantly superior to aspirin or extended release dipyridamole alone and
- has a favorable benefit-risk ratio

## AGGRENOXTM: 59 stroke events prevented per 1000 patients treated for 2 years
					vs 
ASA: 30 events prevented per 1000 patients treated for 2 years
					vs
DP-ER: 26 events prevented per 1000 patients treated for 2 years

- 					**vs **
- ASA: 30 events prevented per 1000 patients treated for 2 years
**	****	****	****	****	****vs**
- DP-ER: 26 events prevented per 1000 patients treated for 2 years

**AGGRENOXTM**Conclusion

## AGGRENOXTMConclusion

- Based on the positive trend for a mortality benefit consistent with the aspirin label and the inclusion of an FDA-approved daily dose of aspirin,
- it is appropriate from a scientific and regulatory perspective to afford AGGRENOXTM the same label indication as aspirin

## AGGRENOXTMConclusion

- ESPS-2 establishes AGGRENOXTM as firstline therapy for secondary prevention of stroke and its labeling should describe its superiorityto aspirin

## Unique Pitch Evolution in the Smectic-C* Phase Cheng C. Huang, University of Minnesota  DMR 0605760

**Synchrotron-based resonant x-ray diffraction have been employed to measure the incommensurate nano-scale helical pitch (INHP) in the smectic-C********* phase of selected binary mixtures. Upon cooling the INHP was found to decrease monotonically through the 4 layers, in contrast to a theoretical prediction. Moreover, the INHP was found to vary linearly with the smectic layer spacing. **

**A comparison between the INHP vs temperature**
**and the INHP vs layer spacing. Z. Q. Liu et al., **
**Phys. Rev. Lett. (accepted for publication).**

## Four graduate students (Z.Q. Liu, B.K. McCoy, Shun Wang, and L. D. Pan), contributed to this work. In July, Z.Q. Liu, B.K. McCoy, Shun Wang and L.D. Pan spent more than 10 days at NSLS, Brookhaven National Lab. to conduct an extensive and productive resonant x-ray diffraction run.

## BLOCK ONE

- High Altitude Flying

## Lower air pressure
Lower air temperature
Stronger winds
Different weather phenomenon

- Lower air temperature
- Stronger winds
- Different weather phenomenon

- High-altitude flight operations differ significantly from those at lower flight levels, primarily due to:

## Pressure Altitude

- Pressure altitude is absolute altitude above mean sea level corrected for non-standard atmospheric pressure

## Calculating P.A.

- PA = H - 925 x (S - 29.92), *where*
- 	PA = Pressure Altitude
- 	H = Absolute Altitude
- 	S = Barometric pressure corrected for altitude
- Example:
- 9,000 absolute altitude, altimeter setting 28.50
- PA	= 9,000 - 925 x (28.50 - 29.92)
- PA	= 9,000 - 925 x (-1.42)  *Watch your ± sign!*
- PA	= 9,000 + 1,313
- PA	= 10,313

## Density Altitude

- Density altitude is pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature

## Calculating D.A.

- DA = PA + 66 x (T - TS), *where*
- 	T = Actual temperature
- 	TS = Standard temperature
- Example:
- 9,000 absolute altitude, 60°F, altimeter setting 28.50
- DA	= PA + 66 x (60 °F - 22.2°F)
- DA	= PA + 66 x 37.8
- DA	= 10,313 (from previous example) + 2,495
- DA	= 12,808

## Slide 8

## Predicting D.A.

- Methods of determining altimeter setting
- ATIS or AWOS for closest airport
- Surface observation from FSS or DUATS
- Methods of determining temperature aloft
- Consult Winds and Temperatures Aloft forecast
- Obtain local surface temperature, then subtract 3.5°F for each 1,000 feet of altitude above reporting point

## Remember:

- As density altitude increases, the difference between indicated airspeed and true airspeed increases

## Slide 11

## Remember:

- As density altitude increases, available horsepower decreases

## Outreach Resource Center for Culturally Diverse Elders

**Funded by a grant from the Administration on Aging**

***A Program of the ***
***Florida Department of Elder Affairs***
***Secretary Terry White  ***

## The Facts

- By the middle of the 21st century, 1 out of 3 older persons will be from a culturally distinct group.
- A greater number of elderly individuals will be in need of health and human services.
- This demographic need increases the need for direct service providers to become culturally competent.

## Population Estimates by 2030

**Notes:**
The demographic population of the U.S. will change dramatically in the next few decades.  Within the next ten years, the population will grow significantly older and more diverse.  This demographic shift has important implications for direct service providers.  A greater number of elderly individuals will be in need of health and human services.  Racial and ethnic minority elders will constitute a growing proportion of this group.  It is critical for direct service providers to be aware of the current and projected characteristics of this diverse population to prepare for addressing their changing needs into the future.

## Interesting Tidbit

**Only 35% of Asian Americans find it very or somewhat easy to find health information in their language of preference, while 57% of Hispanics find it very or somewhat easy.**

## Program Objective

**To provide information on education and outreach strategies to culturally distinct and non-English speaking elders regarding Medicare fraud, error and abuse.**

## Customer Service

**A national technical assistance call center accessed via a toll-free phone line**
**Operates 8:00 am-8:00 pm Eastern Standard Time**
**Request information, resources or receive specialized project consultation**
**We’ll do much of the legwork for you!**
