Antimicrobial action of the pepsin hydrolysate of lactoferrin (LfH) on Escherichia coli O157:H7
Creators: name: Murdock, Christopher A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Foodborne illnesses are a significant problem and a major public health concern in the United States and throughout the world.  The control of microbial pathogens in foods is a significant concern and numerous methods have been employed to control or prevent the growth of pathogenic microorganisms in food, including the use of synthetic and natural antimicrobial agents.  There exist a plethora of literature on "natural" antimicrobial compounds (e.g. nisin, lactoferrin) and their possible use in food systems to eliminate or control the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.  The actual antimicrobial mechanism of action for some antimicrobials has been extensively studied and well documented but for other potential natural biopreservatives, such as lactoferrin, the actual mechanism of action is not well defined.  Lactoferrin is a 78 kilo Dalton cationic iron-binding antimicrobial glycoprotein produced in many mammalian secretions, including milk, tears, saliva, and serum.  Previous research has focused on iron starvation and cell membrane damage.  However, treatment with pepsin yields a peptide fragment, termed lactoferricin that lacks the iron binding sites and is still antimicrobial.  It has also been hypothesized that the peptide, due to its small size, in comparison to the whole molecule, might be able to penetrate the outer membrane or that the smaller size of lactoferricin may facilitate its access to microbial cell surface components.  The peptide and pepsin hydrolysate have been shown to depolarize the outer membrane of E. coli, however, this is likely not the mechanism of action.  The data presented in this study demonstrate that the pepsin hydrolysate of lactoferrin (LfH) exerts its antimicrobial action on the inner membrane of E. coli O157:H7 by forming pores in the membrane.  This membrane damage results in a loss of energy and ion balance (potassium ion (K+) efflux and decreases in intracellular ATP concentrations coupled with increases in extracellular ATP concentrations) leading to a collapse of membrane potential and a loss of cell viability.

description: The article presents the results of the analysis of existing feed mixers and feed mixer patents. Such shortcomings as high power consumption, low uniformity of mixed feeds, high metal consumption are revealed. We have presented the design of a screw feed mixer with a mixer made of a screw with bar elements. This design improves the mixing of the feed mixture by creating a turbulent flow and reduces the energy consumption of the mixing process. The auger is made collapsible, which allows you to change the agitator for mixing feed of different fractions.

description: The invention is a de novo synthesis of the norcatharanthine moiety of navelbine. The synthesis includes condensing a Grignard reagent prepared from an amine-protected R(+)-piperidinyl methanol with an N-protected 2-methoxyoxalyl indole. The indole N-protecting group is removed to provide a 2-methoxyindole hydroxy ester which is coupled to vindoline. After removal of the amineprotecting group from the piperidinyl group, ring closure to the indole moiety provides dihydrodesethyl navelbine. Other derivatives and analogs of navelbine with potential clinical applications in cancer chemotherapy may be readily synthesized. The synthesis opens a route to a wide variety of navelbine modifications, including modifications at or near the tryptamine bridge.

description: H. witenbergi Tret’iakova, 1940
Type host. Gadwall, Anas strepera Linnaeus (Syn. Chaulellasmus streperus Linnaeus) (Anseriformes: Anatidae)— Pavlovskaya (1962).
Type locality. Russian Federation (USSR [CIS]); specific type locality unknown—Pavlovskaya (1962).
Remarks. Tret’iakova (1940) could not be obtained; however, Bashkirova (1950) and McDonald (1969a, 1969b, 1981) have provided additional information concerning this species. McDonald (1969a, 1969b) indicated that this species was described in a thesis or dissertation by Tret’iakova from Russia in 1940, but to our knowledge it was never formally described in a publication. This species is currently listed as an unverified species by Global Species and the Host-Parasite Database, Natural History Museum, London. According to Bashkirova (1950) and McDonald (1981), this species was described as having the uterine loops confined to the posterior third of the body; however, the genital pore is prepharyngeal and it is likely that the specimen used in the description was abnormal, or had not developed enough eggs to fill the anterior portion of the uterus. As this species was described in a dissertation and apparently never formally published, it should be considered a nomen nudum and therefore was not included in our key to the species currently assigned to Hyptiasmus. As far as we can determine, no oral or ventral sucker was described—Bashkirova (1950) and McDonald (1981).

Essays on democratization and taxation
Creators: name: Munshi, Soumyanetra
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation contains three chapters on political economy. Chapter 2 develops a game-theoretic model of democratization while chapter 3 studies women's suffrage in the United States empirically. Chapter 4 is a theoretical chapter exploring taxation with endogenous income.In chapter 2, I propose a political-economic model of democratization. In this model, part of the electorate wants extension because this makes their favorite outcome in future, more achievable. And to increase their current probabilities of winning, parties propose extension, even if that means moving away from their favorite platforms in future. Here extension of franchise occurs under the following circumstances: an almost even distribution of partisans in the population, large rents from office and a particular party enjoying some partisan advantage among the voters. The mechanism does not explicitly incorporate redistributive aspects of franchise extension and hence is a more plausible model for instances of enfranchisement where redistributive repercussions may not have been a potent consideration, like women's suffrage.In chapter 3, I study women's suffrage in the United States empirically. Though women's suffrage was federally mandated in the United States by the nineteenth amendment in 1920, many states had granted suffrage to women prior to that and most of them were clustered in the west. I revisit some of the popular conjectures that have been put forward to explain why these states moved first to give women the vote and offer a hypothesis of partisan competition leading to suffrage extension. I find evidence that early enfranchisement of women in the western states was driven by the intensity of competition between Republicans and Democrats, as well as by adverse female-male ratios, greater concentration of the population in urban areas and by a neighboring states adoption of women's suffrage. Also, the 'risk' of suffrage enactments was increasing over time.In chapter 4, I study income taxation with endogenous income. In a voting-over-income-taxation game, there exists no pure strategy equilibrium when voters' incomes are exogenous. This is true even if the space of tax-schedules is restricted to be marginally progressive only. However in such a setting, with endogenous income, pure strategy equilibrium exists.
A statistical test spectrum

description: The concept of Scale Curve provides a graphical tool for analysis of multivariate data, with a broad range of statistical applications. Recent research in variants of Scale Curves have shown great promise, as they can be easily adapted to build robust non-parametric testing procedures under various scenarios, while preserving good power, and retaining the crucial virtues of easy computation and simple graphical representation.This thesis investigates the properties of one such variant of Scale Curves, named the Determinant Scale Curve (dsc). It is shown that the dsc can be used to devise non-parametric exact tests for location of multivariate data with a special property (stated in next paragraph), under both one sample and multi-sample setups. Similar ideas are extended to tackle problems in linear regression, where the dsc is used to build tests for significance of the slope parameter.For all the problems discussed, the dsc's actually provide a whole spectrum of tests. The tests at the rightmost end of the spectrum are shown to be Pitman equivalent to the benchmark most powerful tests for the given problem. As one moves towards the other end, the corresponding tests become progressively more and more robust, i.e. insensitive to outliers. Simulation results show that this robustification does not come with a serious loss of power under most situations.
Molecular aspects of antiestrogen resistance and autophagy in breast cancer cells

description: The major objective of this thesis was to examine the molecular aspects of estrogenic growth and autophagy in estrogen receptor α (ERα)-positive breast cancer cells. We first examined the role of autophagy mediator, Beclin 1, in estrogenic signaling and antiestrogen resistance in Beclin 1-overexpressing MCF-7 cells. We found that a potential interaction between ERα and Beclin 1 rendered Beclin 1-transfected cells less sensitive to estradiol (E2)-induced growth stimulation, and to antiestrogen-mediated growth inhibition. Thus, a novel function for Beclin 1 might involve down-regulation of the action of ERα, contributing to resistance of breast cancer cells to antiestrogens.In an attempt to develop novel therapeutic agents for breast cancer, we explored the effect of the polyamine analogue, 1,15-bis(ethylamino)-4,8,12-triazapentadecane (BE-3-3-3-3), on MCF-7 cell growth in the presence and absence of E2. BE-3-3-3-3 caused growth inhibition in the presence of E2. However, it mimicked estradiol and stimulated cell growth in the absence of E2, and induced growth response genes, such as c-fos, c-jun, and c-myc. This also induced autophagy, and increased levels of autophagy-related proteins, Beclin 1 and MAP LC3-II.In another approach to introduce gene therapy for breast cancer treatment, we explored the physico-chemical aspects of DNA nanoparticle formation. In an effort to optimize gene delivery systems, we investigated DNA condensation to nanoparticles in the presence of α,α'-methylated spermine analogues, and characterized the size, shape and stability of the resultant nanoparticles. Although some analogues proved more efficacious DNA condensing agents thanspermine, hydrodynamic radii of nanoparticles produced by analogues were comparable to those produced by spermine.We also compared the DNA condensing abilities of poly-L-lysine (PLL) and oligolysines, and characterized the physico-chemical properties of their condensates. PLL was a more effective condensing agent than oligolysines, and produced more stable nanoparticles. We conclude that PLL and oligolysines bind and condense DNA through different mechanisms.In summary, our research provides new insights into the mechanism of antiestrogen resistance and autophagy in breast cancer. We also provide mechanistic insight into DNA nanoparticle formation in the presence of polyamine analogues and lysines.

description: The objective of this research is to up scale the synthesis of previously reported symmetrical and unsymmetrical trifluoromethylated monomers in sufficiently high amounts for the synthesis and characterization of bridge substituted poly (p-phenylene) vinylene polymers. Theoretical NMR calculations are also made to differentiate between diastereomers produced during synthesis. The preliminary polymerization reactions yielded optimistic results but insufficient material was used for proper polymerization, characterization, and isolation. The monomers prepared are shown in Table 1.

description: This paper proposes a model of group culture, faultlines and outcomes to explain how group faultlines can help solidify a group culture of creativity and influence performance in diverse workgroups. The hypotheses are tested using an archival field methodology and qualitative and quantitative data from 74 workgroups in a Fortune 500 company. The results reveal that the moderating role of actual culture in the positive impact that desired culture has on group performance is significant for groups exhibiting strong information faultline strength. The implications of this findings for diversity training, HR programs etc., are discussed with an emphasis on information diversity.

Quantitative observations on multiple flow structures inside Ranque Hilsch vortex tube
Creators: name: Nimbalkar, Sachin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube is a device that separates a flow of gas into two streams simultaneously, one hotter than the inlet and one cooler. Traditionally vortex tubes are mostly operated at high entrance pressures (>10 psig) and always used for cooling operations. There are industrial applications that result in unused pressurized gases. Using vortex tube energy separation may be a method to recover waste pressure energy from high and low pressure sources. In various industrial systems, magnitudes of waste pressure may be lower but may have significant mass flow rates. Hence it is important to make sure that vortex tube provides the required energy separation while harnessing the low pressure but high mass flow rate waste energy and utilizes it for not only cooling but also for heating purposes. Our recent experimental observations show that in the low inlet pressure regime (<10 psig); vortex tubes behave differently and produce multiple flow structures rather than expected re-circulating cold stream and the columnar hot stream type of flow (simply "Vortex Tube flow" or VT-flow). This thesis characterizes industrial waste pressure as a reclaimable form of energy, analyzes the effectiveness of 'vortex tube energy separation' in recovering waste energy from low pressure sources, and explores experimentally and theoretically the possibility of multiple flow structures (like Reverse, Elbow, T-flow or VT-flow) inside vortex tube in a low inlet pressure regime.First time, a study of flow modes in low pressure vortex tubes with small cold fractions has been presented which yielded quantitative confirmation of simple one dimensional model for these flows allowing both predictive capabilities and guidance in design.

Singular harmonic maps into hyperbolic spaces and applications to general relativity
Creators: name: Nguyen, Luc L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Harmonic maps with singular boundary behavior from a Euclidean domain into hyperbolic spaces arise naturally in the study of axially symmetric and stationary spacetimes in general relativity. In particular, the study of multi-black-hole configurations and the force between co-axially rotating black holes requires, as a first step, an analysis on the boundary regularity of the "next order term" of those harmonic maps. We carry out this analysis by considering those harmonic maps as solutions to some homogeneous divergence systems of partial differential equations with singular coefficients. We then apply our result to study the regularity of axially symmetric and stationary electrovacspacetimes, which extends previous works by Weinstein and by Li and Tian. This dissertation is based on a preprint of the author.

Negative correlation and log-concavity
Creators: name: Neiman, Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is concerned with negative correlation and log-concavity properties and relations between them, with much of our motivation provided by [40], [46], and [12]. Our main results include a proof that "almost exchangeable" measures satisfy the "Feder-Mihail" property; counterexamples and a few positive results related to several conjectures of Pemantle [40], Wagner [46], and Choe and Wagner [7] concerning negative correlation and log-concavity properties for probability measures and relations between them; a proof that a conditional version of the "antipodal pairs property" implies a strong form of log-concavity, which yields some partial results on a well-known conjecture of Mason [38]; a proof that "competing urn" measures satisfy "conditional negative association"; and proofs that certain classes of measures introduced by Srinivasan [42] and Pemantle [40] satisfy a strong form of negative association.

description: An absorbed protein-independent cell-adhesive surface is disclosed. The treated surface comprises a chemically derivatized material to which small peptides, having less than 12 amino acid residues and including YIGSR, RGD or REDV amino acid sequence are covalently linked to. The peptides of the present invention include a terminal glycine amino acid. Tresyl chloride activation of surface hydroxyl moieties provides the active surface sites by which a terminal glycine arm of a selected peptide attaches to form covalent bonds between the substrate and peptide. Peptides high with cell adhesive properties are bound in high efficiency. By way of example, surfaces which may be used in conjunction with the present invention include polymer, metal, and ceramic surfaces. The most preferred polymer surfaces include PHEMA and PET polymer surfaces, with the most preferred glass surfaces being glycophase glass. The present methods also include a pretreatment method which provides hydroxyl moieties to surfaces devoid of readily available hydroxyl moieties. The pretreatment, by way of example, comprises immersion of the surface in a mixture of formaldehyde and acetic acid. Methods of preparing the treated surfaces are also included in the present invention. Also included are surface-treated biomedical implant devices and cell culturing devices. The treated surface promotes an enhanced rate and an enhanced amount of cell adhesion to the surface, independent of media serum concentrations or other absorbed proteins. The treated surfaces of the present invention are thermally stable, reusable, peptide efficient (attached to surface only) and resistant to cell proteolysis. The invention further concerns polymeric substrates with a surface having physically interpenetrating water-soluble polymer chains, and methods for production thereof.
Anaerobic benzene degradation in culture and hydrocarbon degradation in the subsurface environment

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Understanding of microorganisms and pathways involved in anaerobic benzene degradation is limited.  Stable isotope probing of DNA was used to identify key members of a previously characterized, sulfate-reducing benzene degrading consortium.  DNA extracts of cultures incubated with [13C6]- or [12C6]benzene were separated into 13C- and 12C-labeled fractions by CsCl density gradient centrifugation.  Sequencing and Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of the 16S rRNA gene identified TRF 270 (bp), a Desulfobacterium like phylotype, which was first to derive the bulk of the 13C label for DNA synthesis, and is thus likely involved in activation of benzene degradation. To understand the pathway of anaerobic benzene metabolism, degradation and inhibition tests were used.  Based on these tests toluene was eliminated, and benzoate was identified as a possible intermediate.  Metabolites detected in cultures amended with  [13C6]benzene or [13C6]phenol indicate that in this consortium there are 2 different pathways of benzoate formation, one forms universally labeled ([13C-UL]benzoate), and the other forms ring labeled benzoate.  Pathway that forms [13C-UL]benzoate is dominant during benzene degradation in which the benzene ring is carboxylated by a carbon derived from another benzene ring.  This pathway is different from the proposed pathway of benzene degradation via phenol, as the labeling pattern of 13C-labeled benzoate formed from [13C6]benzene or [13C6]phenol is not identical.  In conclusion, a novel pathway that activates one benzene ring through its reaction with products of another benzene ring likely exists in this consortium.Groundwater impacted by a manufacturing gas plant site was used for detection and quantification of metabolic intermediates of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and gene analogues encoding alpha subunit of benzylsuccinate synthase (bssA), as evidence for natural attenuation.  Highest concentrations of metabolic intermediates of anaerobic naphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene degradation were detected in an impacted monitoring well (MW)-24, near the source.  Quantitative analysis of 16S rRNA gene indicated that bacterial population was enriched in the impacted wells, while bssA gene containing bacterial community was enriched in MW-24.  Detection of not one, but two different indicators specific to the presence and activity of microorganisms provides strong evidence for in situ anaerobic microbial processes.

description: The present invention relates to methods of accelerated curing of condensation polymers or inducing cross-linking of polymers by a direct current corona or glow discharge applied to the polymer bulk. The methods permit low temperature removal of volatile components from a material without inducing a chemical reaction or local heating. These methods have been employed to prepare fracture-free polysiloxane films up to 100 .mu.m in thickness with curing time reduced by several orders of magnitude. A variety of metal ions, non-linear optical molecules or laser dyes may be incorporated in the films. The surface hydrophilicity of films may also be modified by this treatment. Additionally, an electrically conductive surface layer has been produced by incorporation of an appropriate dopant. Multilayered optical waveguide or lasing structures may be produced by this technique by successive deposition of spun films and curing.
