description: We introduce the Minimum Entropy Method, a simple statistical technique for constraining the Milky Way gravitational potential and simultaneously testing different gravity theories directly from 6D phase-space surveys and without adopting dynamical models. We demonstrate that orbital energy distributions that are separable (i.e. independent of position) have an associated entropy that increases under wrong assumptions about the gravitational potential and/or gravity theory. Of known objects, `cold' tidal streams from low-mass progenitors follow orbital distributions that most nearly satisfy the condition of separability. Although the orbits of tidally stripped stars are perturbed by the progenitor's self-gravity, systematic variations of the energy distribution can be quantified in terms of the cross-entropy of individual tails, giving further sensitivity to theoretical biases in the host potential. The feasibility of using the Minimum Entropy Method to test a wide range of gravity theories is illustrated by evolving restricted N-body models in a Newtonian potential and examining the changes in entropy introduced by Dirac, MONDian and f(R) gravity modifications.

Raise the Still Rabbit

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: My first collection of poetry, Raise the Still Rabbit, explores the literal landscape we live in, the themes of language and lyric, as well as the relationships between people. The poems are rooted in the experiential, the moments when the act of writing becomes a navigation of the various themes of the local environment, cohabitation between individual people, and the geography of the poems' content and textual construction. Navigating these themes, the poems attempt to dissolve the illusory barriers that appear to separate subjects such as the interior of a home from the desert surrounding it. In this collection, the poems demonstrate their shared landscape, where language, place, and individuals are all cohabitants and are all, as such, of significance.
Prime polynomials in short intervals and in arithmetic progressions

description: In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes p1 and m\geq 3 if q is even and deg f' \leq 1. We show that this estimation fails in the neglected cases. Let π_q(k) be the number of monic prime polynomials of degree k with coefficients in the finite field with q elements \FF_q. For relatively prime polynomials f,D\in \FF_q[t] we prove that the number N' of monic prime polynomials g that are congruent to f modulo D and of degree k satisfies |N'-π_q(k)/ϕ(D)|\leq c(k)π_q(k)q^{-1/2}/ϕ(D), as long as 1\leq °D\leq k-3 (or \leq k-4 if p=2 and (f/D)' is constant). We also generalize these results to other factorization types.

“You Can’t Be an NDN in Today’s World:”
Creators: name: Scudeler, June
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2021

description: Kumeyaay writer Tommy Pico's four books of poetry are described as epics, a usually masculinist and heteropatriarchal genre. Although there is a queer part of American epics, Pico rejects slotting himself too easily into the epic because they are integral to the founding or originary literary land claims of countries to justify empire. Pico’s epics are Indigenous and queer, meaning his poems don’t conveniently fit into the western epic tradition. He asserts his presence as a queer NDN, daring the reader / audience / literary establishment to deny that the stories of a queer NDN are of great national importance. Instead, he creates new Kumeyaay bird songs, epic sung travelogues of how the Kumeyaay people came to be as a queer urban NDN.

description: We study the dynamics of polariton condensate wave trains that propagate along a quasi one-dimensional waveguide. Through the application of tuneable potential barriers the propagation can be reflected and multiple reflections used to confine and store a propagating state. Energy-relaxation processes allow the delayed relaxation into a long-living coherent ground state. Aside the potential routing of polariton condensate signals, the system forms an AND-type logic gate compatible with incoherent inputs.

The Management of an Indigenous Hotel Chain Company in China: A Case Study of Sichuan Minshan Hotel Corporation
Creators: name: Wang, Yinglin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Justification: The hotel industry has a comparatively lower threshold for market entry. This has enabled many international foreign competitors to successfully take up a fairly large share of this market. The competition in this emerging industry in China is becoming increasingly fierce as time progresses. Due to the pressure of growing number of foreign competitors, some indigenous hotels in China have started to follow in their footsteps and expand their sister properties across the country. However managing hotel chain properties is still new to most of these indigenous hotel chain organizations and the hotel chain effects of maximizing profits have not been fully realized. The studies related to these problems are on-going and the solutions proposed are limited.
A vast majority of indigenous hotel organizations hunger for solutions and strategies to manage their chain properties efficiently and effectively. The Sichuan Minshan hotel is certainly no exception and is the focus of the case study in this paper. The case study explores the management strategies employed by the Sichuan Minshan hotel, a typical indigenous hotel chain organization in China.
Nádleeh and the River

description: In a late scene in Sidney Freeland’s 2015 film Drunktown’s Finest, the family elder Harmon John (Richard Ray Whitman) sits down with his adult transgender grandchild Felixia (Carmen Moore) to tell her a Navajo story. “A long time ago,” he begins, all the Navajos lived alongside the river. But the men and the women didn’t get along, so the men took the nádleeh (which a subtitle translates as “third gender”) and moved to the other side, leaving the women and children. But soon enough the men realized they missed the women and their children, so they sent the nádleeh back across the river to check on the women, who, it turns out, were missing the men. “Both sides needed each other . . . and they both needed the nádleeh. And to this day we carry this lesson, this balance.” The scene in Freeman’s film, though it comes late, suggests an important theme running throughout, that of the fundamental and inherent place of the Nádleeh in Navajo life and culture. The essay argues that Freeland makes erotics a way to understand the “dynamics of indigeneity.” Freeland can be said to “foreground interdependence and vulnerability as positive principles of peoplehood" (Rifkin 35). Viewing the film in the contexts of gender fluidity and structures of kinship helps clarify the interrelatedness of all three of the (only) apparently disparate plots as it at the same time helps the viewer to rethink (colonial culture’s) rigid gender boundaries.

description: The 2016 world premiere of Larissa FastHorse’s play Urban Rez, which Cornerstone Theater Company produced, presented a community-based theater experience in Los Angeles County (Tongva and Tataviam homelands). In this essay, our three co-authors utilize the concept of being a guest on Tongva land as a methodology to demonstrate Two-Spirit, Queer, and Trans representation within Indigenous theater. Through the work of the playwright, cast, and crew, the Urban Rez narrative asserted self-representation in opposition to settler imaginaries through community-based participatory storytelling. Urban Rez represented a pivot in the current American Theater landscape and a continuation of Indigenous theater legacies. Our essay offers a cross-collaboration between three performers from Urban Rez that represent a wide breadth of academic experiences, performance backgrounds, and community organizing to discuss queer, Two-Spirt, and trans experiences. The co-authors discuss the legacy of counter-narratives in Native theater, demonstrate sovereignty in the play, and utilize queer theory to understand an Indigenous queer experience on stage better. We provide a reflexive co-authorship to assert relationality in the face of heteropatriarchy and contend with our hunger for culture. The co-authors recognize the Urban Rez experience as one of the first major Indigenous theater productions in Los Angeles that included queer, Two-Spirit, and transgender characters that rejected justifying representation from a deficit narrative.

description: Recently, it was proved that triangle-free intersection graphs of $n$ line segments in the plane can have chromatic number as large as $Θ(\log\log n)$. Essentially the same construction produces $Θ(\log\log n)$-chromatic triangle-free intersection graphs of a variety of other geometric shapes---those belonging to any class of compact arc-connected sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ closed under horizontal scaling, vertical scaling, and translation, except for axis-parallel rectangles. We show that this construction is asymptotically optimal for intersection graphs of boundaries of axis-parallel rectangles, which can be alternatively described as overlap graphs of axis-parallel rectangles. That is, we prove that triangle-free rectangle overlap graphs have chromatic number $O(\log\log n)$, improving on the previous bound of $O(\log n)$. To this end, we exploit a relationship between off-line coloring of rectangle overlap graphs and on-line coloring of interval overlap graphs. Our coloring method decomposes the graph into a bounded number of subgraphs with a tree-like structure that "encodes" strategies of the adversary in the on-line coloring problem. Then, these subgraphs are colored with $O(\log\log n)$ colors using a combination of techniques from on-line algorithms (first-fit) and data structure design (heavy-light decomposition).

description: This essay uses Dian Million's felt theory to read across the work of one of the earliest trans Indigenous people writing in English, arguing that Max Wolf Valeriorepresents his experiences of--and others’ reactions to--his sex and gender presentations as relational, highly affective processes across all of his texts. And, while affective knowledges exist widely across Indigenous texts and contexts, I turn in this special issue to how, when used to read Valerio’s essay and autobiography, felt theory reveals embodied ruptures and cultural dislocation/disavowal, or what Million terms “colonialism as a felt, affective relationship” (Therapeutic Nations 46). At the same time, this essay highlights the ways, in Valerio’s stories, felt knowledges offer a map of becoming and a lived route to survivance, healing, and joy.

description: We revisit the integration of fields in N=1 Supergravity with the requirement that the effective theory has a reliable two-derivative supersymmetric description. In particular we study, in a supersymmetric manifest way, the situation where the fields that are mapped out have masses comparable to the Supersymmetry breaking scale and masses of the remaining fields. We find that as long as one stands in regions of the field configuration space where the analytic continuation to superspace of the F-flatness conditions be reliable equations of motion for the fields that are being mapped out, and provided their solutions are stable regardless the dynamics of the remaining fields, such a two-derivative description is a reliable truncation of the full effective theory. The study is mainly focused to models with two chiral sectors, H and L, described by a Kaehler invariant function with schematic dependencies of the form G=G_H(H,\bar H)+G_L(L,\bar L), which leads to a nearly decoupled theory that allows the previous requirements to be easily satisfied in a consistent way. Interestingly enough for the matters of our study this kind of models present an scenario that is as safe as the one presented in sequestered models. It is also possible to allow gauge symmetries as long as these appear also factorized in hidden and visible sectors. Then, the integration of the hidden vector superfields is compulsory and proceeds reliably through the D-flatness condition analytically continued to superspace.

description: In this article I explore the ways that Sumac creates a two spirit transmasculine role for the 21st century within such an environment. I begin by looking at the cultural implications of Sumac’s choice of cover images as a way to situate Sumac among his trans* poetry peers, and use this as the springboard to a discussion of Sumac’s use of social media tropes, particularly hashtags, that situate his poetry as the product of a specifically digital environment. This, I argue is simultaneously a welcoming space for trans* and Indigenous people to find community and develop communal identities unaffected by physical distance, and also a space that carries particular dangers not only for both groups, but also for creative artists, in its flattening of affect. Finally, I look at the poet’s use of natural environments and images, and the ways that these function to balance and indigenize a shifting and uncertain digital no-space.

description: We study the equilibrium morphologies of a single supramolecular magnetic filament in a three-dimensional system as a function of the effective strength of the magnetic dipolar interactions. The study is performed by means of Langevin dynamics simulations with a bead-spring chain model of freely rotating dipoles. We demonstrate the existence of three structural regimes as the value of the dipolar coupling parameter is increased: a coil compaction regime, a coil expansion regime and a closed chain regime in which the structures tend progressively to an ideal ring configuration. We discuss the governing effects of each regime, the structural transition between open and closed morphologies, and the reasons why we see no multiloop configurations that have been observed in two-dimensional systems under similar conditions.

description: To facilitate the rapid purification of bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), we developed two plasmid constructs that utilize a truncated, transmembrane protein to present an exterior histidine repeat sequence. We chose OmpA, a highly abundant porin protein, as the protein scaffold and utilized the lac promoter to allow for inducible control of the epitope-presenting construct. OMVs containing mutant OmpA-His6 were purified directly from Escherichia coli culture media on an immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) Ni-NTA resin. This enabling technology can be combined with other molecular tools directed at OMV packaging to facilitate the separation of modified/cargo-loaded OMV from their wt counterparts. In addition to numerous applications in the pharmaceutical and environmental remediation industries, this technology can be utilized to enhance basic research capabilities in the area of elucidating endogenous OMV function.

description: Excerpt from the report: Studies were conducted in the Mississippi Delta in 1960, 1961, and 1963 to evaluate the effects of handpicking and of various types of picker spindles used in mechanical picking on the quality and spinning performance of cotton. Mechanical harvesters were equipped with 9/16-inch tapered barbed, 1/4-inch straight barbed, and 3/16-inch straight smooth picker spindles. This study was made to determine through pilot spinning-plant tests the effects of handpicking and three types of spindle picking (mechanical picking) on fiber properties and spinning performance of cotton. After measuring fiber properties and spinning performance, the data were analyzed statistically and comparisons were made among the four methods of harvest.

description: We investigated the frequency spectra and field distributions of a dielectric square resonator in a microwave experiment. Since such systems cannot be treated analytically, the experimental studies of their properties are indispensable. The momentum representation of the measured field distributions shows that all resonant modes are localized on specific classical tori of the square billiard. Based on these observations a semiclassical model was developed. It shows excellent agreement with all but a single class of measured field distributions that will be treated separately.

description: The maintenance of normal body weight is disrupted in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) for prolonged periods of time. Prior to the onset of AN, premorbid body mass index (BMI) spans the entire range from underweight to obese. After recovery, patients have reduced rates of overweight and obesity. As such, loci involved in body weight regulation may also be relevant for AN and vice versa. Our primary analysis comprised a cross-trait analysis of the 1000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the lowest p-values in a genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA) of AN (GCAN) for evidence of association in the largest published GWAMA for BMI (GIANT). Subsequently we performed sex-stratified analyses for these 1000 SNPs. Functional ex vivo studies on four genes ensued. Lastly, a look-up of GWAMA-derived BMI related loci was performed in the AN GWAMA. We detected significant associations (p-values < 5×10−5, Bonferroni corrected p < 0.05) for 9 SNP alleles at 3 independent loci. Interestingly, all AN susceptibility alleles were consistently associated with increased BMI. None of the genes (chr. 10: CTBP2, chr. 19: CCNE1, chr. 2: CARF and NBEAL1; the latter is a region with high linkage disequilibrium) nearest to these SNPs has previously been associated with AN or obesity. Sex-stratified analyses revealed that the strongest BMI signal originated predominantly from females (chr. 10 rs1561589; poverall: 2.47 × 10−06/pfemales: 3.45 × 10−07/pmales: 0.043). Functional ex vivo studies in mice revealed reduced hypothalamic expression of Ctbp2 and Nbeal1 after fasting. Hypothalamic expression of Ctbp2 was increased in diet induced obese (DIO) mice as compared to age-matched lean controls. We observed no evidence for associations for the look-up of BMI related loci in the AN GWAMA. A cross-trait analysis of AN and BMI loci revealed variants at three chromosomal loci with potential joint impact. The chromosome 10 locus is particularly promising given that the association with obesity was primarily driven by females. In addition, the detected altered hypothalamic expression patterns of Ctbp2 and Nbeal1 as a result of fasting and DIO implicate these genes in weight regulation.

Wide Binary Effects on Asymmetries in Asymptotic Giant Branch Circumstellar Envelopes

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Observations of increasingly higher spatial resolution reveal the existence of asymmetries in the circumstellar envelopes of a small fraction of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Although there is no general consensus for their origin, a binary companion star may be responsible. Within this framework, we investigate the gravitational effects associated with a sufficiently wide binary system, where Roche lobe overflow is unimportant, on the outflowing envelopes of AGB stars using three dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. The effects due to individual binary components are separately studied, enabling investigation of the stellar and circumstellar characteristics in detail. The reflex motion of the AGB star alters the wind velocity distribution, thereby, determining the overall shape of the outflowing envelope. On the other hand, the interaction of the companion with the envelope produces a gravitational wake, which exhibits a vertically thinner shape. The two patterns overlap and form clumpy structures. To illustrate the diversity of shapes, we present the numerical results as a function of inclination angle. Not only is spiral structure produced by the binary interaction, but arc patterns are also found that represent the former structure when viewed at different inclinations. The arcs reveal a systematic shift of their centers of curvature for cases when the orbital speed of the AGB star is comparable to its wind speed. They take on the shape of a peanut for inclinations nearly edge-on. In the limit of slow orbital motion of the AGB star relative to the wind speed, the arc pattern becomes nearly spherically symmetric. We find that the aspect ratio of the overall oblate shape of the pattern is an important diagnostic probe of the binary as it can be used to constrain the orbital velocity of the AGB star, and moreover the binary mass ratio.

description: Excerpts from the report: Over the past 10 to 15 years, numerous ginning-spinning studies have been made to determine the effects that harvesting, seed cotton drying and cleaning, lint cleaning, and the interaction of these variables have on spinning performance and yarn quality. These studies have shown that excessive drying of seed cotton adversely affects fiber length and length distribution, and this, in turn, affects spinning performance and yarn quality. In 1961 Stanford Research Institute began the development of a throughflow, controlled-humidity, drying system for seed cotton. This system is designed to dry cotton uniformly to a predetermined moisture content without using an air temperature high enough to damage the cotton. Subsequently, a pilot-plant investigation was conducted with the support of the Foundation for Cotton Research and Education of the National Cotton Council, the J. G. Boswell Company, the Continental Gin Company, and the cooperation of the Agricultural Research Service and the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The objective of this phase of the study was to determine the effects that the two drying systems had on fiber and yarn properties, and spinning performance.

Since many quantum information protocols are based on qubits defined by the polarization of photons, we must develop integrated building blocks to generate, manipulate, and measure the polarization-encoded quantum state on a chip. The generation unit is particularly important. Here we show the first integrated polarization-entangled photon pair source on a chip. We have implemented the source as a simple and stable silicon-on-insulator photonic circuit that generates an entangled state with 91 \pm 2% fidelity. The source is equipped with versatile interfaces for silica-on-silicon or other types of waveguide platforms that accommodate the polarization manipulation and projection devices as well as pump light sources. Therefore, we are ready for the full-scale implementation of photonic quantum information systems on a chip.

description: A circuit is considered in the shape of a ring, with a battery of negligible size and a wire of uniform resistance. A linear charge distribution along the wire maintains an electrostatic field and a steady current, which produces a constant magnetic field. Earlier studies of the Poynting vector and the rate of flow of energy considered only idealized geometries in which the Poynting vector was confined to the space within the circuit. But in more realistic cases the Poynting vector is nonzero outside as well as inside the circuit. An expression is obtained for the Poynting vector in terms of products of integrals, which are evaluated numerically to show the energy flow. Limiting expressions are obtained analytically. It is shown that the total power generated by the battery equals the energy flowing into the wire per unit time.

description: Starting with the work of Lapidus and van Frankenhuysen a number of papers have introduced zeta functions as a way of capturing multifractal information. In this paper we propose a new multifractal zeta function and show that under certain conditions the abscissa of convergence yields the Hausdorff multifractal spectrum for a class of measures.
From khaki to brown: Community formation, homeownership, and mobility in Santa Ana, California, 1950-2000

description: This thesis examines the first fifty years of a modest 1950 housing tract of one hundred thirty-nine houses and five commercial lots in Santa Ana, California. I analyzed deeds, maps, newspapers, powers of attorney, building permits, city directories, and promotional material and interviewed nearly one hundred former and current residents to determine who came to Santa Ana in the mid-twentieth century, why they came, and why they stayed or left. Contrary to what contemporary Los Angeles boosters might have thought, mid-century Santa Ana was not simply a suburb of Los Angeles. In 1950 Santa Ana, with 45,533 residents and forty manufactories, was the urban hub for El Toro Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) and for growing Orange County. By the end of the century the city's housing units were the most densely populated in the U.S. My research suggests that between 1950 and 2000 most new residents, including the hundreds of thousands of Marines who transferred to and through El Toro MCAS, followed their jobs to Santa Ana; others came in search of cultural community. My analysis of deeds and interviews indicates that high numbers of active-duty military homeowners altered the community landscape by stimulating frequent housing turnover and a high number of absentee-landlord rental properties that continued through the end of the century.
Historians Becky Nicolaides, Andrew Wiese, Greg Hise, and others who reexamine Kenneth Jackson's 1985 Crabgrass Frontier   identify alternate forms of postwar suburbs that differ from the Levittown model of popular imagery. The Santa Ana tract in this study represents one such variation that was integrated into the city through mixed land use and public through-traffic. In The Suburb Reader   (2006) editors Nicolaides and Wiese call for historians to investigate the extent to which the postwar suburban nuclear family accurately reflected the ideal image. Although the Santa Ana developer originally sold houses only to white married couples, most families in this tract did not fit the traditional nuclear family model in several ways. Notably, the tract's military families with often-absent husbands and fathers deviated significantly from the traditional ideal. However, death, marriage, divorce, migration, and economics affected nuclear family structure and homeownership for most families within the small tract from 1950, before the new houses closed escrow, through 2000, by which time the demographic and built profiles of the tract and the city had changed.

description: The excessive use of antibiotics in food-producing animals causes a steady rise of multiple antibiotic resistance in foodborne bacteria. Next to sulfonamides, the most common antibiotics groups are fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and ß-lactams. Therefore, there is a need for a quick, efficient, and low-cost detection procedure for antibiotics. In this study, we propose an inkjet-printed aptamer-based biosensor developed for the detection of the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin. Due to their extraordinary high affinity and specificity, aptamers are already widely used in various applications. Here we present a ciprofloxacin-binding RNA aptamer developed by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). We characterized the secondary structure of the aptamer and determined the KD to 36 nM that allow detection of antibiotic contamination in a relevant range. We demonstrate that RNA aptamers can be inkjet-printed, dried, and resolved while keeping their functionality consistently intact. With this proof of concept, we are paving the way for a potential range of additional aptamer-based, printable biosensors.

description: The equilibrium conformations of a flexible permanent magnetic chain that consists of a sequence of linked magnetic colloidal nanoparticles with short-ranged Lennard-Jones attractive interactions (Stockmayer polymer) are thoroughly analysed via Langevin dynamics simulations. A tentative phase diagram is presented for a chain of length $N=100$. The phase diagram exhibits several unusual conformational phases when compared with the non-magnetic chains. These phases are characterised by a large degree of conformational anisotropy, and consist of closed chains, helicoidal-like states, partially collapsed states, and very compact disordered states. The phase diagram contains several interesting features like the existence of at least two 'triple points'.
Calcium supplemental usage and potential health issues sssociated with the rate of usage in Las Vegas, NV

description: Calcium is a very important nutrient and as such, it is very important that all humans consume sufficient amounts. However, some calcium supplements have been known to contain small quantities of lead. This research project used a retrospective approach to explore the trade-off between the benefits of calcium vs. the potential lead exposure amongst people who are taking these supplements. A survey consisting of 10 questions was used to try to assess the rate of consumption of specific types of calcium supplements. This research project obtained lead levels in calcium supplements from previous research and applied that data into this research project using the assumption that the levels were consistent to currents levels of lead in calcium supplements. The Mann-Whitney and Chi-Square tests were used to analyze the data, since it was determined that the continuous variables in the data were non-normal and the other variables were categorical. Significance was determined for ?<.05. It was found that women consume more milligrams of calcium per day when compared to men and they also as have a higher exposure to lead as a result. The research also found that there is a positive association between age and the length of time a person has been consuming calcium supplements.

description: In some quantum theories of gravity, deviations from the laws of relativity could be comparatively large while escaping detection to date. In the neutrino sector, precision experiments with beta decay yield new and improved constraints on these countershaded relativity violations. Existing data are used to extract bounds of $3 \times 10^{-8}$ GeV on the magnitudes of two of the four possible coefficients, and estimates are provided of future attainable sensitivities in a variety of experiments.

Alternations of NMDA and GABAB Receptor Function in Development: A Potential Animal Model of Schizophrenia
Creators: name: Bolton, Monica

description: Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental disorder that affects up to 3% of the world population. The behavioral symptoms are categorized into positive and negative symptoms, which appear during late adolescence/early adulthood. Unfortunately, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of the disease are poorly understood. Several hypotheses exist to explain mechanisms contributing to these behavioral alterations. One model proposes that a reduced function of the NMDA glutamate receptor on specific GABAergic interneurons may be responsible for deficits in schizophrenia. Post-mortem investigations provide evidence of reductions in both glutamate and GABA-related proteins in patients with schizophrenia. Further, GABAergic interneurons that are activated by glutamate via NMDA receptors are important for oscillatory activity involved with sensory processing and cognitive function. Alterations in the function of NMDA receptors on GABAeric interneurons are implicated in regulating neural network activity and, if disrupted, could potentially lead to altered brain function and deficits seen in schizophrenia. Several investigations have demonstrated reduction in NMDA receptor function or GABA receptor function induces deficits consistent with schizophrenia. Recent approaches have also focused on changes in NMDA or GABA function related to schizophrenia as a neurodevelopmental disorder. This approach suggests that alterations in either system during brain development may result in behavioral deficits later in life. The purpose of the below studies was to determine if changes in NMDA receptor function or alterations in downstream GABA receptor function during development in rodent pups results in behavioral or biochemical alterations in adulthood that are relevant to schizophrenia. The data reveal that altering these receptor systems in development produce deficits in adulthood. Changes in sensorimotor gating, spatial learning and memory, and differential expression of multiple GABA related proteins in the brain tissue were observed in these animals.

description: Excerpts from the report: Basket storage is a relatively new and promising method for storing seed cotton during the peak of harvest and ginning it later. One California gin has been using baskets since 1951, but most gins have begun in the last 5 years. Baskets are large containers which hold from 3 to 10 bales each. Cotton harvested in the peak of the season, beyond the capacities of gins, is transferred from growers' trailers to baskets and stored. The basket-stored cotton is ginned later when gins would otherwise be idle. The purpose of this study was to determine the approximate cost of using basket-storage systems. Examples of cost of ginning stored cotton, and examples of total costs for plants using this method were developed. In addition, information was shown on costs for selected volumes, factors that affect costs, problems, and prospects for basket storage.
