description: Although lipid oxidation is recognized as a major chemical reaction limiting shelf life of foods, its role in degrading food quality and the mechanisms involved remain incompletely elucidated. Interactions of oxidizing lipids with other food molecules have been largely ignored, even though these reactions can have dramatic impact on food properties. Lipid co-oxidation of proteins occurs extensively in nearly all processed foods and degrades textures, flavors, color, and nutritional value. It is important to measure both lipid and protein co-oxidation products to understand the full extent of oxidative deterioration during food storage. This thesis is part of a larger project examining baked and fried tortilla chips to differentiate thermal damage to proteins from lipid co-oxidation during processing and storage. In a previous study, gel electrophoresis revealed modification of protein surfaces that affected dye binding, as well as formation of sizeable protein aggregates too large to enter normal gels involving disulfide, free radical, and other crosslinks. As an alternative to polyacrylamide gels, capillary electrophoresis can separate peptides without molecular weight limits, by modes that may be more sensitive to side chain modifications, and requires only a few nanoliters of sample. Thus, this study investigated the use of capillary electrophoresis for tracking fragmentation and crosslinking in co-oxidized proteins. Results corroborated observations that fried tortilla chip samples had greater changes than baked tortilla chip samples and higher incubation temperature resulted in more protein damage, most notably in fried reducing fractions. In addition, surface modifications altered protein charge, which interfered with migration in capillary electrophoresis. Peptide detection was limited to zeins of about 50 kDa because the sample filtration step intended to prevent capillary blockage also removed higher molecular weight fractions, including glutelins. However, fragmentation products not distinguishable in gel electrophoresis were detected. Overall, results of this study suggest that capillary electrophoresis has intriguing possibilities for supplementing SDS-PAGE and other protein analyses, particularly in verifying the presence of surface modifications. However, significant hurdles—such as reasons for lack of high molecular weight peptide loading and migration—remain to be overcome before capillary electrophoresis can become a primary method for analysis of modified proteins.
A survey of potential historic districts in the Pinelands

Year: 1993

description: This report constitutes the results of a review of 199 "places" in the Pinelands Area for their potential to be designated as historic districts, based principally on their architectural merit. From the places visited, a total of 23 potential historic districts were identified, including two agricultural districts and one historic roadway. Al though neither of the agricultural areas had ever acquired a formal "place name" attribution, they are nonetheless well preserved examples of a cultural landscape which once epitomized much of south Jersey. All of the other areas which are evaluated, however, except for the roadway, are sites which have had at one time or another a generally accepted place name, as portrayed on modern or historic maps. The place names were compiled from the 7.5 minute series topographic guadrangle maps published by the U.S. Geological Surveyas well as from various 19th century county maps and other sources.

Basionym:— Randia mussaendoides Craib, Fl. Siam. ii. 104 (1932); Craib, Kew Bull. 1932: 286 (1932), descr. ampl.
Homotypic synonyms:— Tarenna mussaendoides (Craib) K.M.Wong, Arbor. Rubiaceae Malaya 205 (1988); Porterandia mussaendoides (Craib) Tirveng., Biogeographica 79(1): 37 (2003).
Type:— Thailand, Krabi, evergreen on rocky limestone hill, c. 50 m, Kerr 18849 (lectotype K [K000172819], designated here; isolectotype BM [BM000945262]).
Distribution and habitat:— Pitardella mussaendoides occurs in Peninsular Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia, in evergreen forest on limestone hills.
Additional specimens examined:— Peninsular Malaysia, Perlis, Kaki Bukit, 11 April 1938, Kiah SFN 35252 (SING); Malacca, Bukit Klanara, Alvins 1190 (SING).
Notes:— Originally described as Randia mussaendoides (Craib 1932), the species was variously assigned to Tarenna (Wong 1988) and Porterandia (Tirvengadum 2003). The protologue of Randia mussaendoides indicates that Kerr 18849 is the type specimen but does not specify a particular herbarium in which it was deposited. The K sheet is the better sheet with mature flowers among the two duplicates at BM and K, and is therefore here selected as the lectotype.

description: The objective of the Commission's environmental monitoring program is to provide information needed to (1) assess the ecological consequences of CMP land use programs and policies and (2) periodically make appropriate changes to these programs and policies. Establishing cause and effect relationships between resource management decisions and ecological changes is an ultimate, albeit elusive, goal of many environmental monitoring programs. Although there is always a level of uncertainty associated with attempts to predict how ecological systems respond to resource exploitation, decisions based on available data and sound scientific principles are generally superior to those based on guesswork (Ehrlich and Daily 1993). By selecting representative study areas and appropriate environmental indicators, valuable generalizations can be made regarding the relative effectiveness of regional land use management programs.

description: Drawing on the experience of the previous studies and the recommendations of the technical panels, this proposal outlines the major components of an ongoing economic monitoring program for the Pinelands. In addition to evaluating impacts through 1995, critical parameters will be measured over the long term, with special studies and updates to be conducted at periodic intervals. The focus of these analyses will be land markets, regional economic growth, and the fiscal health of municipalities. Other topics, such as impacts on housing prices and resource-related industries, will be addressed but not analyzed in detail, due to the difficulty of compiling accurate and comprehensive data.

description: Sustaining the long-term ecological integrity of Pine lands wetlands is the ultimate goal of the Pinelands Commission's wetland protection program. One technique used to accomplish this goal is the establishment of upland buffer zones based on an assessment of wetland quality and potential development-related impacts. We present a geographic information system (GIS) based watershed-level landscape approach for assessing watershed and wetland systems along ecological integrity and future potential impact gradients. Several GIS-based landscape indexes of wetland quality and impact are developed along with a drainage basin ranking system. Landscape indexes used to evaluate watershed integrity include developed and agricultural land cover, soils with a high potential for ground water contamination, surface water quality, major water supply withdrawals, and biological diversity. Future land use patterns, upland soils with high water tables, and watershed and wetland dimensions are used to evaluate potential impacts effecting the long-term sustainabiIity of these systems. A modified weighted factor procedure is used to rank drainage areas. Several policy options for establishing buffer distances based on the results of the watershed evaluation method are briefly discussed. For demonstration purposes, we present results obtained by applying the methodologyin several Pine lands basins.
Transcriptome variation in breast cancer
Creators: name: Seiler, Michael Walker
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Successful cancer treatment is based on our understanding of a number of biological considerations such as its mechanisms for survival, evasion of tumor suppressor programs, and proliferation. Unfortunately, cancer evolution is often chaotic and a single tumor may exhibit many different methods for achieving its goals, such as direct mutation of tumor suppressor genes, over-expression of genes which target tumor suppressors, or both. With that in mind, it is crucial for clinicians and researchers to be able to distinguish the properties of each tumor and identify similarities between them, so that broad-impact treatments can be devised. Recently, a number of advances have been made which allow researchers to gather more detailed information in a high-throughput manner on the behavior of individual tumors. Where once only gross gene expression information could be gleaned using a microarray chip, now sequencing technology enables us to understand what individual isoforms of genes are being expressed, and in what abundance. Sequencing technology advances have also enabled us to find novel sites of expression on the genome which do not correspond to known proteins, and in fact provide evidence of a new class of large non-coding RNA molecules with functional consequences for cancer tumors. In this thesis, we present novel methodologies for the identification of alternative transcript as well as non-coding RNA usage in subgroups of breast cancer tumors using data from next generation transcriptome sequencing. Using these methods, we have identified genes which are differentially spliced between breast cancer tumors belonging to estrogen positive (ER+) and negative (ER-) sets, as well as in novel subgroups, and validated the existence of these transcripts in tumor tissue RNA using RT-PCR. Additionally, we present evidence of non-coding RNA transcripts which are aberrantly expressed based on estrogen status, and validate these in a similar way. These discoveries and new methodologies will help elucidate the biological differences between these subgroups of breast cancer, and will assist ongoing research into transcriptome abnormalities in other cancers as sequencing data become available.
Headlong he runs into Circe's snares

description: Headlong he runs into Circe’s snares: Representation and the Restoration Royal Mistress is an interdisciplinary study of the Restoration royal mistress. During the Restoration and for generations thereafter, the mistresses of Charles II (reigned 1660-1685) came to symbolize the court both for its apologizers and its critics. In becoming such symbols, the figures of these women were made to play a role within the many social, religious, and political concerns during this tumultuous period. In focusing upon representation, this dissertation does not look to recover the actual actions (political or otherwise) of royal mistresses such as Barbara Palmer, Duchess of Cleveland, Louise de Kéroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth, or Nell Gwyn – arguably the three most important and well-known of Charles’s many mistresses – but rather to see how the figures of these women were used to ‘think through’ contemporary issues. Bringing in various sources including poetry, libels, novels, histories, and medical books, this project examines how women were made to play central roles within political comment and rhetoric. In appropriating the faces and voices of women, the authors of these works demonstrate not only their opinions on English society and politics, but also the important underpinning gendered assumptions which informed their uses of royal mistresses within their works, allowing this study to bring together political history, women’s and gender history, history of medicine, and the history of the body. This dissertation is structured thematically, and the hermeneutic nature of its analysis is not meant to be a definitive account of the meaning of its sources, but instead to investigate common themes among clusters of sources including the Ottoman ‘Turk’ and harem politics, diseased and reproductive female bodies, and the uses of the memory of royal mistresses into the early Hanoverian period. Such themes allow for the insertion of women onto the early modern English political stage.

description: Reducing corruption in Pakistan is a security concern, as disaffection with a corrupt government feeds the insurgency. Corruption undermines stability in two ways. First, corruption offends citizens, increasing their willingness to support insurgents. We provide evidence supporting this based on an experiment in Afghanistan below. Second, government accountability mechanisms cannot operate in spaces that are contested by insurgents, leading to high levels of graft and leakage in government provided services such as health and education. This forces citizens to turn to anti-state groups for essential services. Accountable governments are also less aggressive toward their neighbors, a particular concern in Pakistan, a nuclear power. The Punjab Model (PM) seeks to reduce bribe-taking by government veterinarians by requiring that citizens’ cell numbers be recorded when receiving services, and called back to ask about bribe-taking. The program holds promise for dramatically improving services in contested parts of Pakistan for at least three reasons. First, a clear prerequisite for successful government service provision in areas not under government control is robust monitoring to minimize leakage. Exploiting the rapid proliferation of Information Communication Technology, which is taking place even in the poorest and most remote parts of Pakistan, potentially provides a way of increasing monitoring without putting additional human monitors in harm’s way. Second, livestock agriculture accounts for nine percent of GDP in Punjab, which has at least 81 million citizens, creating the potential for tremendous economic returns, which can support stability. If our evaluation indicates that the program is successful, it will be immediately scaled to the benefit of millions of farmers. Last, the PM is well-suited to viral adoption and can be scaled at very low cost, creating the potential to easily expand the approach to reduce corruption in other types of essential government services.

Defining and measuring success in the urban forest
Creators: name: Sanders, Jessica Rose
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: An in-depth understanding of what constitutes success is needed in order to assess current management practices and improve to ensure a more stable urban canopy trajectory in the future. This dissertation is comprised of three studies that investigate three discrete time pieces in the urban forest in order to determine and measure their success.  The early transplant survival study found after two years post-transplant, urban trees had a 91.4% survival, whereas the survival declines 8-9 years post-transplant to 75.8%. Trees had the lowest survival in downtown areas and increasing survival as a residential gradient was reached.  The parking lot study examined trees approximately 20 years post-transplant in order to determine a size reduction based on amount of apparent available soil. Tree Diameter Breast Height (DBH) was fond to be a useful predictor of tree canopy area. There was a reduction in canopy area seen across all five species measured as apparent available soil decreased.  The maximum size study linked terminal size (stem diameter) to site type based on apparent available soil when trees were grouped into categories based on their published height expectations (small, medium, large). Maximum height was different in all three plating site types, irrespective of size class. Overall a reduced planting space resulted in a reduced maximum size, which serves as service endpoint for managers.

description: Researchers from Universidad Catolica in Santiago, Chile have taken genetic sequences of cholera & hepatitis and put together in tomato plant to facilitate gene expression in the new host .........Thanks to genetic engineering, scientists are making this possible by introducing a gene into tomato plants that codes for a specific antigen—the part of a pathogen that triggers an immune response. This allows the tomato to produce the antigen in its fruit, effectively creating an "edible vaccine." This groundbreaking approach is being actively researched, offering the potential for convenient vaccine delivery, particularly in areas with limited access to traditional vaccination methods.

Recorded damage and economic importance in the orchards of Iran: Mild, moderate or severe pests on roots and branches of on grapevine, pear, apple, peach and cherry (Farahbakhsh 1961; Esmaili 1984).
Recorded damage in the orchards of other parts of the world: Not recorded.
Recorded distribution in Iran: Needs further study.
Conclusion: Reviewing the Iranian literature shows the name of this species as a pest has nearly always been used instead of Cicadatra alhageos (Kolenati, 1857) and even sometimes the two valid species are mentioned as synonyms (Babaii 1967; Behdad 1991). During the recent years, none of the specimens which were collected by the author, those which were already deposited in Hayk Mirzayans Insect Museum and the others which were sent to be identified from different parts of Iran were really Ch. ochreata. In addition, none of the published records of Ch. Ochreata as a pest has been confirmed by a taxonomist. At the moment the only trustable record for this species in Iran is the original description by Melichar (1902) from the vineyards in southeast. Hence, the true pest status of the species needs to be studied after the correct identifications.

Remarks: Hart & Hart (1974: 101) mistakenly list the hosts of Litocythere as “crayfishes of the family Astacidae.” Litocythere is known only from crayfishes in the family Cambaridae. This error was repeated in Hart & Hart (1975: 38).

description: Lestinogomphus venustus Dijkstra & Mézière sp. nov. –
Lovely Fairytail (Type Photo 30, Photos 44, 62, Figs 16, 17)
Taxonomy
See general rationale for Lestinogomphus under L. calcaratus sp. nov. No genetic data is available for this taxon, but its markings and morphology are unlike any other species in the genus.
Material studied
Holotype ♂. Gabon, Haut-Ogooué Province, 5 km after Bongoville toward Léconi, Ekala, Andzaba River, sandy and swampy stream (Photo 62), 389 m a.s.l. (1.6319 ° S 13.8888 ° E), 28 -iii- 2010, leg. N. Mézière & J. Renoult, RMNH. Further material. 1 ♂, as holotype, RMNH.
Genetics
No data available.
Male morphological diagnosis
Very small dragonfly (Hw 18.5 –19.0 mm; n= 2) that recalls L. angustus by (a) the fairly long S 10, its dorsal length being 1.9 –2.0x its apical height; (b) the prominent pair of teeth near the base of the epiproct dorsum (Fig. 16). However, (1) the thoracic markings are unique in the genus: the green on the collar is merged as in all species but barely extends along the middorsal carina; the pale postdorsal stripes are reduced to be virtually invisible; the green ante-humeral stripes are widened to extend well below the humeral suture; the humeral and interpleural black markings are merged to form a broad but isolated black stripe between the ante-humeral stripe and metastigma; and a black metapleural stripe is absent, while it is present in most Lestinogomphus, especially if these are so dark, i.e., with extensive black on face, tibiae and abdomen (Fig. 17); (2) the distal border of the posterior hamule is more sharply notched than any other species; and (3) the subbasal teeth of the epiproct, while distinct, are much smaller (Fig. 16).EtymologyLatin “lovely, graceful” for an especially attractive species of this elegant genus (masculine adjective).
Range and ecology
The males perched on vegetation above a small sandy stream on the edge of the Batéké Plateau in south-eastern Gabon.

Farmland subdivision; A catalogue of land use techniques to preserve and enhance agricultural uses of land
Creators: name: Dallessio, Thomas G.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1993

description: The objective of this report is to catalogue land use techniques related to subdivision for preserving and enhancing agricultural uses of land. This report responds to the current concerns raised during discussions regarding potential revisions to the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) related to farmland subdivision standards. A central concern identified for study is whether any subdivision, except for specific agricultural uses, should be permitted as it may fragment the farms and affect their future viability.

Recorded damage and economic importance in the orchards of Iran: Considering two species (Cicadatra alhageos and Chloropsalta ochreata) as “grape cicadas" in Iran, Chloropsalta smaragdula was introduced as the third species of grape cicada by Aghagoli Marzijarani et al. (2013). There isn’t any record on the injury level caused by this species.
Recorded damage in the orchards of other parts of the world: Not recorded.
Recorded distribution in Iran: Generally distributed.
Conclusion: Due to the extreme similarity of the habitus of the three cicadas in vineyards of Iran (Cicadatra alhageos, Chloropsalta ochreata and Chloropsalta smaragdula), it is quite necessary to determine the damage level caused by the species after the correct identification.

description: This strategy is a companion piece to the Economic Development Strategy for Buena Vista Township that was prepared earlier this year (May 1999). Both documents, as well as a Background Report, were prepared by Whiteman & Taintor as part of the Pinelands Rural Economic Development Pilot Program. The Pilot Program was authorized and funded by the New Jersey State Legislature in August 1997. The goal of the Pilot Program is to help rural Pinelands municipalities identify and plan for types of economic development that are compatible with requirements for land use throughout the Pinelands. The initial Background Report laid the foundation for the analyses that followed by presenting data on key indicators of regional and local socio-economic health such as tax rates, population, educational attainment, home prices, household income, occupational mix, and unemployment. Findings from the data were then used in conjunction with information gathered during community interviews and public meetings to establish directions for economic development strategies. The May 1999 Strategy provided a detailed examination of local resources, including land, infrastructure, and employment trends, to generate different development scenarios and associated recommendations. These recommendations were then presented to the community for comment. This implementation strategy provides detailed plans for the final recommendations, including necessary steps, responsibilities, timeframes, and resources. The strategy begins with an overall vision for the area zoned for development along Route 40 (i.e., the Pinelands Town zoning district), followed by discussion of specific action items. A separate appendix contains suggestions for monitoring progress, tips on organization and community involvement, and resources for additional information.
