Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: The Coastal Community stakeholder engagement process is part of a larger process being undertaken by the New Jersey Climate Adaptation Alliance to solicit input from stakeholders in a variety of sectors in order to formulate public policy recommendations that will enhance climate change preparedness in New Jersey. The Coastal Community sector, for the purposes of this process, was defined as individuals in an elected or appointed position or employed by a coastal community or county. These are individuals who work within the coastal zone and make decisions on behalf of a local community or county. As coastal professionals, their daily decisions and actions directly affect the Jersey Shore where millions of people reside, vacation and earn a living. The process incorporated three in-person listening sessions around the state and a 14-question online survey.  The report summarizes stakeholder perception of changing climate, climate change impacts of greatest concern, Super Storm Sandy experiences, vulnerable populations, perceptions of sectoral preparedness and leading practices.

Material examined. No specimens examined.
Remarks. Described from the holotype from: Punjab, Lyallpur [=Faisalabad], at light, 10.x.29, A. Rahman (ZSI) and several other specimens, including four topotypic. The types of this species and specimens from India were examined by Dash & Viraktamath (1998: 36).
Maiestas pruthii (Metcalf) (Plate 2, a; Fig. 13).
Material examined. Pakistan: several specimens (3, Ƥ), Tando Jam, 27.iv.07.
Remarks. Described from the holotype and allotype from: Pakistan, Punjab, Lyallpur [=Faisalabad], at light, 10.x.29, K.A.S. Rahman (ZSI). The above material is identified as pruthii from the original figures and those of Dash & Viraktamath (2001). However, although all have the characteristic reticulate forewing venation, the Pakistan material has a slightly more strongly curved aedeagus and shorter apical process compared to Indian material (compare Fig. 13 l with Dash & Virtaktamath, 1998, fig. 154).
Maiestas subviridis (Metcalf) (Plate 2, b–c; Fig. 12).
Material examined. Pakistan: several specimens (3, Ƥ), Sindh Prov., Tando Jam, 28.viii.07, paddy (typical), Guddu Barrage, vii.07 (atypical).
Remarks. A sub-brachypterous form occurs in the female of this species in Pakistan (Plate 2c). In addition, a form with a slightly more elongate aedeagus with a slight lateral flange is present (compare Figs 12 a-d). The type of this species and various other specimens from throughout its range were examined by Webb & Viraktamath (2009).

description: RAS proteins are key regulators of signal transduction pathways that control cell growth, differentiation, and cell death. RAS proteins alternate between inactive (GDP-bound) and active (GTP-bound) states. In about 30% of tumors RAS becomes “activated.” Our interest is in the downstream targets of the RAS signaling pathways. RIN1 is a RAS “effector” that regulates epithelial cell functions. The RIN1 gene is silenced in most breast cancer cell lines and in many breast tumors. Because RIN1 binding to RAS is competitive with other effectors, reduced RIN1 levels could lead to elevated signaling through the mitogenic RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway and perhaps other tumor progression RAS pathways. This hypothesis directly addresses the contrasting observations that RAS signaling is an important component of breast cancer, but that RAS mutations are rarely seen in these tumors. The main objective of the proposed research is to critically evaluate the hypothesis that the silencing of RIN1 contributes to breast cancer progression. As part of this goal we will also determine the mechanism of silencing of RIN1 in breast tumors.

 Our specific objectives are to:

 1. Test the tumor suppressor properties of RIN1.

 2. Characterize the involvement of RIN1 in breast cancer.

 3. Determine the mechanism of RIN1 gene silencing in breast tumors.

 For these studies we will test the ability of RIN1 to suppress the anchorage independent growth phenotype. Breast cancer cells are able to grow in soft agar while normal mammary epithelial cells cannot. We will use viral expression systems to introduce RIN1. Immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR will measure RIN1 levels. We will determine if there is a correlation between the reduction of RIN1 and the expression of other genes involved in breast cancer. The UCLA Family Cancer Registry will also be screened to determine if there is a hereditary component to the involvement of RIN1 in breast cancer. Furthermore, we will determine if there are overall lower levels of RIN1 in the breast epithelial tissue of those that develop breast tumors and if these lower levels cause a predisposition to developing breast cancer. Methylation-specific PCR will be employed to examine changes at the RIN1 locus. This technique will be performed on DNA from breast tumor cell lines, already characterized with regard to RIN1 expression, and on DNA from breast tissue (normal and tumor).

 RIN1 is a previously unexplored factor in breast cancer initiation and malignancy. Our hypothesis may provide a new way to approach breast tumor biology and should directly facilitate the identification of new targets for breast tumor therapeutics.

HER3 Infidelity and Resistance to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

description: The HER growth factor receptor family is known to be important in driving the progression of many human breast cancers. This family has four members named HER1-4 that function as partners within the family. A large body of evidence predicts that inhibitors of the HER family can be highly effective treatments for HER-driven subtypes of breast cancer. Several HER family tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have now been developed and have been studied in clinical trials. Although these drugs seem to effectively inhibit HER1 and HER2 in patient’s tumors, they show only minimal anti-tumor activity in these patients. The reasons for this are unclear and have puzzled scientists.

 We have discovered that although HER family TKIs are effective at inhibiting HER1,HER2, and HER4, the third member HER3 is not effectively inhibited by these drugs. This is due to a previously unknown kinase infidelity inherent in the HER3 protein that allows HER3 to use proteins outside of the HER family and evade the inhibitory effects of the HER family TKIs. We propose to identify the cellular protein that phosphorylates HER3 in this circumstance which allows tumors to escape the full inhibitory activities of the HER family TKIs. This will then guide the design and use of additional drugs to inhibit this escape pathway and finally fulfill the promise of HER family TKIs.

 We will use several very novel techniques to identify the tyrosine kinase that re-phosphorylates HER3. One is the use of micro-array profiling which screens the entire pool of human genes to look for the culprit protein. A second technique is the use of the very new siRNA (double-stranded short interfering RNA) technique using a library of siRNAs that can “turn off” the cellular tyrosine kinases individually and determine which one is responsible for the escape pathway used by HER3. In addition, to test our overall hypothesis, we will determine in mouse models whether the addition of a downstream inhibitor of HER3 signaling can significantly enhance the anti-tumor activity of a HER family TKI.

 Our finding that HER3 signaling is resistant to TKIs strongly suggests that this may be responsible for the poor clinical activities of current TKIs. We believe that we have identified a critical barrier in our understanding of this key mechanism for breast tumor growth control, which if can be overcome will lead to treatments that are much more effective and could possibly cure patients with HER2 overexpressing breast cancers.

description: Genus Crocidura Wagler, 1832
Two species of Crocidura occur in Korea. Crocidura dsinezumi is not considered a Korean species for the following reasons. Kuroda (1934a) reported C. dsinezumi quelpartis on Jeju Island; after that, only one specimen was collected (Won 1968). After 2001 and the description of the white-toothed shrew C. shantungensis from Jeju Island (Iwasa et al. 2001), researchers only collected C. shantungensis on Jeju Island. Although Han et al. (2002) supported the occurrence of two species, C. dsinezumi and C. shantungensis on Jeju Island based on mtDNA identification, the type specimen of C. dsinezumi quelpartis in 1934 clustered within C. shantungensis (Motokawa et al. 2003). Thus, currently, only one species of Crocidura probably inhabits Jeju Island, C. shantungensis (Jo et al. 2012). Nevertheless, taxonomic skepticism exists on whether the population on Jeju Island warrants a subspecific level classification or specific level classification. Therefore, additional research on the Crocidura on Jeju Island might resolve the taxonomic status of the Crocidura on Jeju Island (Motokawa et al. 2003). Here, we regard populations of white-toothed shrews on Jeju Island as C. shantungensis and remove C. dsinezumi from the list of Korean mammals.

description: Infection with Coccidioides can result in life-threatening, widespread disease, and evidence indicates that defective host defenses lead to dissemination. Immunity to Coccidioides revolves around the production of interferon gamma (IFNg) through a program called Type1 immunity. States of suppressed Type1 immunity (e.g., pregnancy) and subjects with genetic defects of Type1 immunity are at high risk of DCD. Our data support the central hypothesis of this proposal: defective Type1 immunity allows for DCD, and novel treatments that augment Type1 immunity and block Type2 immunity offer a new therapeutic strategy for DCD. The main adaptive immune cells of Type1 immunity are helper T cells that produce IFNg (Th1 cells). The genetic program of Th1 cells is launched by interleukin-12 (IL-12), a cytokine made by innate immune cells after fungal infection. To study these components of Type1 immunity in DCD, we have assembled experts across the UC, including Dr. Johnson, Director of the Valley Fever Institute (VFI); Drs. Butte, Grody, Krogstad (UCLA immunology, genetics and infectious disease); Dr. Hoffman (UCSD innate immunity and inflammasome) and Dr. Dorsey (UCSF immunodeficiency). We will study 50 pediatric and adult patients with DCD followed at VFI, UCLA and UCSD. In Aim 1, we will test the hypothesis that impaired Th1 function allows DCD. Th1 development will be examined directly, after cocci antigen, IFNg and/or IL-12 stimulation, and after blocking Type2 immunity with a clinically available antibody, dupilumab. We offer supporting data from a UCLA patient with DCD and impaired Th1 caused by aberrant IL-12 receptor signaling who cleared infection following treatment with dupilumab and IFNg. We ensure feasibility with preliminary data from a new IRB-approved collaboration between VFI and UCLA where 10 DCD subjects have undergone this T-cell evaluation. In Aim 2, we will test the hypothesis that functional defects in innate immunity contribute to DCD. We will study pathways of sensing infection and inflammasome assembly in monocytes from subjects with DCD. Identification of immune defects in adaptive (Aim 1) and innate (Aim 2) pathways will be bolstered by exome/genome sequencing of subjects following the protocol of the UCLA Undiagnosed Diseases Network (Butte and Grody are investigators). Clinical phenotyping of these subjects for immunodeficiency features will be performed with validated questionnaires of the USIDNET (Dorsey and Butte are investigators).

description: The goal of this project is to use acoustic fields during 3D printing to manipulate the microstructure of the printed material, thereby controlling the material properties in printed components. This method will enable printing of components with novel functional properties, such as embedded electrical circuits or thermal dissipation networks. Functionalities like these are in high demand, since the properties of feedstock material is currently the main limitation of 3D printing. Composite material consisting of filler particles in UV-cure polymeric matrices, will be patterned with pressure fields before it’s cured into a solid material. This will be done within a stereolithography printing reservoir so that each layer of the printed component has user-defined microstructure. Thus, as the component is printed layer by layer, the material is patterned to have certain material properties in desired locations within the component. One especially promising application of this technology is embedding bundles of aligned, electrically conductive fibers which act as electrical interconnects in components. Another is assembling thermal transport pathways in boron-nitride-based composites for cooling electronics. This project relies on expertise in particle assembly, which will be provided by our group at UCSB, as well as expertise in 3D printing, which will be provided by Dr. Spadaccini at LLNL. Work completed in the first three years of the applicant’s PhD has demonstrated that acoustic focusing effectively controls the microstructure of composite materials. With this method we’ve controlled functional properties like electrical conductivity, increasing it by an order of magnitude and modulating it spatially (e.g. between conductive and insulating states). Dr. Spadaccini will provide the resources and expertise needed to integrate this technology into 3D printing. In addition to providing a stereolithographic printer dedicated to modification for acoustic focusing, Dr. Spadaccini has valuable expertise in developing ink chemistries, particle dispersion, and high-resolution UV-curing techniques. In addition, resources at LLNL for X-Ray tomography and design optimization make this in-residence fellowship an excellent opportunity for investigating this problem and building a collaborative relationship between groups at UCSB and LLNL with shared research interests.

Performance appraisal

description: Performance appraisal is an important management tool that has two important functions: to support administrative decisions, and support employee development (Murphy and Cleveland 1990). This dissertation explores the view of public (non-management level) employees in assessing their perspective on performance appraisal. This paper assumes that once employees find the value in performance appraisal processes, the efficacy will be enhanced and affirmed.  Given the importance of employees’ acceptance of their performance appraisal, this dissertation will examine under which contextual circumstances employee acceptance of performance measurement may be heightened using the data in a mixed-methods study that includes data from the Merit Principle Protection Board Survey (2005) merged with data from the Central Personnel Data File in 2005, New Jersey local employee survey, and focus groups including semi-structured interviews. Using previous theoretical frameworks, which identify three constructs namely, procedural justice, distributional justice, and instrument validity, this dissertation will measure public employees’ acceptance of performance appraisal.   Findings show that there is an increase of public employees’ acceptance of performance appraisal in terms of procedural justice, distributional justice, and instrument validity in the following conditions, when: performance appraisal is used more for employees’ job performance improvement and capacity development to identify areas of improvement; there is an a direct alignment between employees’ tasks and agency’s objectives; employees are offered an opportunity to voice their concerns or rebut decisions; they participate in setting performance standards and goals; and there are quality and trust-worthy relationships between supervisors as rators and employees as ratees. Of particular illumination on the effect of demographic characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, and education, the findings show mixed results. However, when the organization is diversified in terms of race/ethnicity, employee acceptance of performance appraisal in terms of procedural justice turns out to be uniquely higher, and partially supports the theory of relational demography. Equally important finding is the effect of unionized workforce environment as well as the existence of rigid civil service system might have contrasting effects on employee acceptance of performance appraisal processes.   This study contributes to the current literature on performance appraisal by advancing our understanding of the process, refining related theories on performance appraisal, and capitalizing on public employees’ perceptions and perspectives.

Hecalini
Remarks. The following references deal with the Oriental species of Hecalini: Morrison (1973), Rao & Ramakrishnan (1990) and Dash & Viraktamath (1997). Members of the tribe can be distinguished externally by the extended and flattened head, particularly in the female, and the laterofrontal sutures terminating medially and distad of the ocelli (Figs 16 a). Also, in the female the second valvulae are humped and lack both teeth and dorsal sclerotised and hyaline areas (Fig. 16 e), the first valvifers have a posterior lobe and the first valvulae have maculose submarginal sculpture both dorsally and apicoventrally (Fig. 16 f).

description: This mixed-methods study examines the pathways and barriers to college and the postsecondary outcomes of students who graduate from public high schools in Yonkers, New York. The project describes the ways in which students plan for life after high school and negotiate the college search and selection process. Data from the National Student Clearinghouse, surveys, interviews, focus groups, and participant observation were used to inform findings. The data show that students from Yonkers have high levels of college intentions and enrollment; in some cases, these levels are at or above national norms. This is especially encouraging, considering that Yonkers is a high-needs school district and that most graduates qualify for free or reduced-price lunches, are members of underrepresented minorities, and are potential first-generation college goers. Recent cohorts of Yonkers graduates enroll in postsecondary institutions more quickly than previous cohorts and persist into the second year at higher rates. Yonkers graduates have had mixed success with degree attainment. Survey, interview, and focus group data demonstrated that financial aid and family support systems were key to persistence toward graduation. Participants demonstrated low levels of financial awareness and many misconceptions about college costs, financial aid, and student loans.

description: For this proposed research, I will determine how chronic exposure to atmospheric nitrogen deposition (N-dep) impacts microbial nitrogen (N) cycling in desert systems. I propose to investigate taxa responsible for N transformations and their functional genes that catalyze N turnover. I will target these N cycling microbes through shotgun metagenomic analysis of 15N enriched environmental DNA obtained with quantitative stable isotope probing (qSIP). Additionally, by using this qSIP-targeted metagenomics approach, I will aim to characterize genes associated with assimilation of nitrogen into microbial biomass. I have identified Dr. Steven Blazewicz at Lawrence Livermore National Lab as a collaborating scientist for my research goals. Dr. Blazewicz’s expertise in developing qSIP methods to study microbial processes responsible for soil rewetting dynamics make him an ideal collaborator and mentor for this project. We will take advantage of LLNL’s recently built semi-automated qSIP-metagenomics pipeline that uses robotics to speed processing of SIP samples by an order of magnitude, making well-replicated qSIP experiments tractable. The uniting research objective of this project is to couple this regional field site design to functional metagenomic analysis of the soil microbiome to characterize a key aspect of the nitrogen cycle as well as the influence of nitrogen deposition on strategies of microbial nitrogen assimilation. These findings will address pivotal questions in the field of microbial ecology: By focusing on the functional genes associated with nitrogen assimilation, we are contributing to a mechanistic understanding of how microbial processes immobilize soil nitrogen, an area that is of current interest in soil microbial ecology. Additionally, these data will provide resources for soil biogeochemistry in arid systems. By performing metagenomic analysis on DNA from the qSIP fractions exposed to 15N after drought, we hope to identify functions which may be contributing to rewetting pulses of N.

description: Polymer mixtures and composites are essential to a wide array of applications. However, these systems are difficult to model and can be prone to phase separation and slow, diffusion-driven degradation. Polymer Bonded Explosives (PBXs) are a particularly challenging class of nanocomposites. PBXs use polymers that thermodynamically prefer phase separation but need to remain mixed for long periods and variable environmental conditions. Some major obstacles to improving PBXs (and polymer mixtures in general) are that (1) their mixing thermodynamics are highly complex; (2) they are usually processed into kinetically trapped states; (3) experiments and simulations have difficulty identifying free energy contributions with sufficient accuracy; as a result (4) aging of nanocomposite materials is difficult to predict from short time experiments or simulations. My research will study the interfacial properties and microstructure of PBXs (and proxies of PBXs) by combining high accuracy adhesion measurements with neutron scattering experiments. The proposal has three goals: (1) develop an improved adhesion measuring device based on the Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) for studying PBX interfacial energies; (2) pair interfacial energy investigations with Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) and Ultra-Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) to quantify how interfacial properties affect PBX microstructure; and (3) explore novel applications of the new device to PBX science. I am fully trained on the SFA (under Prof. Tonya Kuhl), and my training with scattering has already started through graduate classes and the National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering. Further training in SANS and SAXS will take place at LANL under my National Lab supervisor Dr. Erik Watkins. The expected scientific outcomes of the proposed work will be (1) accurate measurements of interfacial energies between PBX components and improved models of PBX behavior; (2) a detailed understanding of the effect of interfacial energy on PBX initial microstructure. My research will benefit from living on-site at LANL through access to neutron beam time, PBX resources (materials, literature, expertise, processing facilities, etc.), collaboration with LANL groups, and the mentorship of Dr. Watkins.

description: THIS PROJECT IS TO SAVE THE CALIFORNIA CITRUS INDUSTRY FROM HUANGLONGBING (HLB). This deadly disease is currently causing annual losses of over 1 billion dollars and 7,900 jobs in FL. As HLB spreads throughout the US, similar losses are expected in CA unless more effective management strategies are developed. METABOLIC MODELING IS A TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH. Modern molecular approaches endeavor to understand complex living systems by creating a list of their parts. This is akin to trying to understand how an airplane flies based on its parts list. In contrast, metabolic modeling determines how all of these individual parts function and interact to create a living organism. The SPECIFIC AIM of this project will take advantage of newly developed software to construct a cutting-edge model (ME) of the pathogen associated with HLB. This will produce an unprecedented understanding of HLB, providing insights leading to the creation of more effective HLB management strategies that will save the citrus industry in CA, the US, and worldwide. TO INCREASE THE CAPABILITIES AND COMPETITIVENESS OF UC RESEARCHERS, we proposed to expand metabolic modeling throughout the UC system. To achieve this goal, we will hold a workshop at the end of this 2-year project and then annually after its completion. The goal will be to train UC researchers in the construction and use of metabolic models for prokaryotic, eukaryotic and integrated systems. We will also create a web-based platform to facilitate networking and collaborations. We expect that these events and tools will be a catalyst for new UC-based collaborations enabling innovations and breakthroughs in basic science and translational/applied research. Bolstering the value of expanding metabolic modeling throughout the UC system, this approach can be used in medical, agricultural and environmental research as well as in biotechnology. Taken together, we expect this project will propel a series of events that will position UC as a leader in the field of metabolic modeling, enhancing UC's competitiveness to attract the best faculty and students and creating an enduring environment that will ensure the acquisition of awards and funding. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. We will create a portable, interactive museum exhibit to educate the general public and citrus community about HLB and how metabolic models can provide solutions for HLB and many other problems including the emerging crisis of antibiotic resistance.

description: The UC President’s Humanities Advisory Committee proposes to renew the systemwide UC Humanities Initiative. We will renew the extensive collaborative, interdisciplinary research support programs that the Initiative provides to faculty and students across all ten UC campuses as well as the creative public programming for California citizens. The Initiative will build on our ongoing success, sustaining the outstanding international reputation of UC humanities at this critical juncture in our national dialogue. The Initiative’s programs support innovative projects by individual scholars and collaborative, interdisciplinary research in a network productively leveraging the system-wide UC Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI), all ten campus-based humanities centers (HCs), and all UC Humanities Deans. The humanities always address the changing nature of the human and its historical, contemporary, and future conditions of existence. We face enormous changes in our technological, socio-economic, environmental, political, and cultural contexts. Technology is no longer just part of our surroundings or an extension of our bodies; it has been increasingly integrated into living, thinking, feeling bodies to prolong and improve life and extend our natural powers of cognition and perception. Environmental impacts of human waste and demographic explosion are increasingly challenging our social- and life-systems. In the near future, the projected loss of work due to AI and robotic enhancements will have enormous implications politically, legally, and socially. The widespread adoption of social media is transforming how we relate to and interact with each other. The implications for our sense of identity, work and recreation, and life-history are enormous. The humanities are innovating to help make sense of these changes and to articulate new individual and collective narratives that can help us make the emerging forms of life truly worth living. Our proposal include sresearch initiatives intended to address such momentous changes facing human existence and culture. How do we understand what constitutes contemporary modes of truth? What are the social and environmental impacts of massive demographic shifts? As artificial intelligence and robotics evolve, how do the distinctively “human” features of human being change? Our initiative will include support advancing both digital humanities and public humanities activities in addressing such crucial issues.
