Type 2 isopentenyl diphosphate: dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase and other isoprenoid biosynthetic enzymes studied with chamical and statistical methods

Subjects: Allosteric

Flavin adduct
Isopentenyl diphosphate:dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase
Mechanism based inactivator
Transient kinetic isotope effect

description: Type 2 isopentenyl diphosphate:dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase (IDI-2) catalyzes the reversible conversion of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) to dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). The enzyme requires a divalent cation (Mg2+) and a reduced flavin mononucleotide (FMNred) cofactor to be catalytically active. To probe the role of FMNred, substrate analogues were incubated with enzyme-bound FMNred and analyzed under various conditions by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The spectral characteristics indicated a covalent bond was formed between the analogues and flavin at either the C4a- or N5-position (dependent on the substrate analogues). Similar methodology was applied to study a flavin adduct that formed when IDI-2 was incubated with IPP or DMAPP. Furthermore, mass spectrometry demonstrated that this adduct was the result of a loss of inorganic diphosphate and yielded a single isoprene unit addition to flavin. Bond formation observed with many analogues and the natural substrates supports a role where flavin is involved with catalysis directly as a proton donor/acceptor and/or as a stabilizer of an intermediate. Additionally, the kinetic mechanism was established for the apo form of Streptococcus pneumoniae IDI-2, a potential antibacterial drug target. Bisubstrate studies (where IPP and FMN were varied) and competitive inhibition experiments (with a competitive inhibitor of both substrates) were employed to determine an ordered sequential mechanism, where FMN binds first. The kinetic data appeared sigmoidal and could only be fit when Hill coefficients where included in the mathematical models, particularly for FMN. The Hill coefficients were thoroughly evaluated statistically and their inclusion was determined to be significant, thus a possible cooperative or allosteric effect occurs upon the binding of FMN. These experiments suggest that allosteric inhibitors could be investigated to inactivate the S. pneumoniae IDI-2 enzyme. In a different application of statistics, transient kinetic isotope effect studies were evaluated using the bootstrap statistical technique. While statistically significant isotope effects were determined, the values were 100 % larger than expected. Thus, the technique was successful and identified an underlying problem with the experimental design during data collection.
Apocalyptic Visions from the Past: The Colonization of Mars in Dick's Martian Time-Slip

Year: 2020

description: In recent years, climate change has emerged as a dominant theme in literature, with writers trying to find new ways to express how the alteration of climate affects people. Even though it was published before climate change was so pressing an issue, Philip K. Dick’s Martian Time-Slip (1964) deals with the worries caused by an Earth that is becoming increasingly inhospitable, pushing people to migrate to Mars. This article explores how Dick expresses the challenges that immigrants must face in trying to adapt to a new environment and how he uses Mars society to criticize the degeneration of the capitalistic society that marginalizes people who are acutely able to empathize with both humans and the natural world. Among these marginalized people there is Manfred, a child who suffers from autism. Dick conveys Manfred’s conscience through an imaginative language that extends beyond the limits of the human perception of time.

The Absent Victims: An Ecolinguistic study of Environmental Refugees in The New York Times
Creators: name: Venkataraman, Nina
Publisher: name:  JAm It! (Journal of American Studies in Italy)
Year: 2020

description: Absence of coverage in elite newspapers about one aspect of climate justice is environmental migration. Very little is understood about victims caught in the debate about climate change and forced movement. The New York Times, with its selective framing of the issue makes absent ideologically important factors that seem to alter the central story line of environmental migration. These absences are methodologically mapped using Stibbe’s (2015) conceptual tools of capturing erasure in texts in this paper. The argument that emerges from mapping these absences is that there is a categorical operational difference between erasure and absences. While erasure may be intentionally manipulative, absences offers elite newspapers a way forward to ignore issues that do not seem to be news-worthy for coverage. This way absence of coverage leads to absence of attention on the true victims of climate change.

“Understanding the Fabric of the Natural World.” The Role of the Collective Protagonist in Annie Proulx’s Barkskins
Creators: name: Nolé, Leonardo
Publisher: name:  JAm It! (Journal of American Studies in Italy)
Year: 2020

description: Contemporary Anthropocene narratives often choose to engage with large scales of space and time. As a consequence, according to Ursula K. Heise, “the single protagonist may decrease in importance, since epic-style narratives over the last century have tended to shift the major narrative actants from individual human characters to collective and sometimes nonhuman actors.” Annie Proulx’s latest novel, Barkskins (2016), is a fitting example of this tendency. Despite its commitment to several human characters, Barkskins never forgets about the story of the forest, which in Proulx’s words is “the character, the underpinning of life.” In this essay, I will explore the role this multifaceted collective protagonist plays in Barkskins’ narrative. First, thanks to the many human characters at the center of the plot, the narrative can geographically and historically map people’s past and present movements across America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, taking the timber business as an example of the technological and cultural development of capitalism in different parts of the world and its long-term effects. Second, the making of the forest and several indigenous people into central characters enriches and diversifies Proulx’s discussion of the human impact on the natural world. Finally, its twofold perspective on the actions of single human beings as well as the impact of humanity as a whole bring Barkskins to raise the question of individual/collective agency vis-à-vis the present environmental crisis.

Comparative examination of aerosols of pulverized coal combustion in air and in oxygen with carbon dioxide combustion environments

Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Carbon emissions
Oxy fuel combusion

description: The purpose of this work was to examine the effects of a change in combustion  environment on aerosol formation. Due to the need to provide carbon based energy with  carbon capture and sequestration to eliminate carbon emissions, oxy fuel combustion is a  technology which is currently under investigation. The main advantage of oxy fuel  combustion is that it utilizes a combustion process of fuel, pure oxygen, and recycled  CO2 in order moderate flame temperatures. The result is a flue gas which is highly  concentrated in CO2 with water vapor which is easily condensed and removed. However,  there has been very little research done on the effects of the altered combustion  environment from N2/O2 (air) to oxy fired conditions of O2/CO2 on aerosol formation.  This work indicates that there are differences in black carbon particle emissions, as well  as changes in mechanisms which drive aerosol formation. Of particular interest in the  findings was that iron was found in higher relative concentrations in the submicron range  of particles in oxy fired conditions compared to air fired conditions. Also, magnesium  and calcium appear to be in higher relative concentrations in oxy fired conditions while  sodium and potassium seem to be lower in the submicron range. These are all important  as these compounds can affect how ash and slag build up on surfaces inside of the  furnace.
ERP value: the market response to announcements of enterprise resource planning investments

Subjects: Business planning
Management information systems

description: This paper evaluates the change in a firm's equity value as a result of the firm announcing that it plans to integrate its operations with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, or a module of an ERP system. Investments in Information Systems (IS) are increasing as firms strive to optimize their business processes, and have become one of the largest categories of capital expenditures of U.S. businesses. There is a growing body of research based on evaluating the effects of such IT investments and their contribution to firm value. Using an event study approach, the event being the public announcement of ERP investment, and the measure being the change in stock price, we evaluate if ERP investments increase value for firms. Based on a sample of 89 firms publicly traded in U.S. stock markets during the period between 1999 and 2008, we conclude that ERP investments create an average of .81% (? significance = 0.05) incremental value for firms. We consider typical ERP component systems, and observe that supply chain management (SCM) systems are not rewarded with higher abnormal returns than non-SCM, but observe abnormally high amounts of positive compared to negative returns (normal asymmetry sign test, ? = 0.01). We examine ERP investments from well known vendors with established reputations in the market, and find that contract announcements with such vendors enjoy abnormal stock market returns of 1.40% (? = 0.01). We then look at firm function, and find that although manufacturing firms gain value (? = 0.05), that non-manufacturing firms do as well (? = 0.10). We evaluate firm size and financial health as attributes that contribute to ERP value and find that both large firms as well as financially healthy firms are rewarded incremental value by the market (? = 0.01). We also consider time period, and find that firms that engaged in post-2005 ERP investments gain significantly more than pre-2005 investments (? = 0.01). Finally, we consider firm and ERP system attributes as independent variables that may contribute to increased firm value as the dependent variable. The paper concludes with discussion about various considerations regarding the potential value created by ERP investments.
Migrant Ecologies in the Press: Chicago Italians and The Tribune

description: During the age of mass migration (1850-1940) more than 4 million Italians reached the United States. The experience of Italians in United States cities has been largely explored during the twentieth century and produced a vast amount of academic literature. However, the study of migrants’ adjustment practices connected to nature is a quite recent concern, also for Environmental History. Migrants' visions of nature influenced their practices and attitudes toward the environment, helping them to be resilient and adjust to different urban contexts and manage the sense of displacement provoked by their encounter with a U.S. metropolis at the turn of the twentieth century. Italians of Chicago, for instance, in their quest for a partial self-sufficiency brought into the urban space non-urban practices—like the raising of animals, the farming of many vacant lots in the city, and the collection of different kinds of materials from the urban landscape—which challenged the modernity project that was deeply embedded in the functionalist city enterprise. Their way of inhabiting the city was a performative activity, which generated hybrid spaces. In many cases though, these practices were perceived by U.S. authorities and public opinion as a sign of backwardness and an obstacle to modernity: this complicated immigrants' aim for self-sufficiency and generated conflicts over the uses of urban space. One of the challenges that emerge from the study of migration phenomena through the lens of environmental history is the lack of sources: where can scholars find the environment in migration studies’ sources? With this article we address such an apparent epistemological blank spot by analyzing one specific kind of written source: we aim to explore the Italian experience in Chicago through the articles of the newspaper The Chicago Tribune, which we analyze following the socio-ecological dichotomy of proper urban space vs. unruly migrant practices. Known for its nativist, isolationist, and anti-Catholic positions—which targeted the Irish before shifting to Italians—The Tribune played the role of an anti-Italian-immigrant press organ from the 1870s until the first decade of the twentieth century. In an era when white Anglo-Saxon primacy within society, racism, and discriminatory discourses on immigrants’ ethnic qualities were commonly accepted as scientific, The Tribune reportage of Italians’ poor conditions and livelihoods concurred in re-enforcing such a narrative. With this article, we want to show that through the often biased and deformed lens of the WASP middle-class press, it is possible to reconstruct Italians’ and other immigrant’s urban practices, as well as to show how so-called modernization processes were contested and resisted by various marginal urbanites.

Energy-efficient method for thermal processing of Utah tar sands

Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Thermal oil recovery
Oil sands, Utah

description: A modification of the existing University of Utah process for thermal recovery of oil from tar sands is described and tested.  In the first step of the process, bituminous sand is fed into a fluidized pyrolysis bed, where the bitumen is cracked and vaporized at temperatures of 430°C to 550°C.  In the second step, energy required to operate the fluidized bed is generated by burning coked sand, a by-product of the pyrolysis reactor, with air in a second fluidized bed reactor located directly below the pyrolysis reactor.  The coked sand is transferred from the pyrolysis to the combustion reactor by gravity, and energy is transferred from the combustion reactor to the pyrolysis reactor by using a potassium-containing heat pipe as the heat exchanger device.  In the third and final step, the synthetic oil produced and some of the energy from the exiting streams are recovered.  Main modifications of the existing thermal process include fluid dynamic decoupling of the fluidized bed reactors by

description: Background and Aims: Lurbinectedin is a novel oncogenic transcription inhibitor active in several cancers, including small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We aimed to describe the first Australian experience of the clinical efficacy and tolerability of lurbinectedin for the treatment of SCLC after progression on platinum-containing therapy. Methods: Multicentre real-world study of individuals with SCLC initiating lurbinectedin monotherapy (3.2 mg/m2 three-weekly) on an early access programme between May 2020 and December 2021. Key outcomes were clinical utilisation, efficacy and tolerability. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Outcome data were collected within the AUstralian Registry and biObank of thoRacic cAncers (AURORA). Results: Data were analysed for 46 individuals across seven sites. Lurbinectedin was given as second- (83%, 38/46) or subsequent- (17%, 8/46) line therapy, mostly with prior chemoimmunotherapy (87%, 40/46). We report dose modifications (17%, 8/46), interruptions/delays (24%, 11/46), high-grade toxicities (28%, 13/46) and hospitalisations (54%, 25/46) during active treatment. The overall response rate was 33% and the disease control rate was 50%. Six-month OS was 44% (95% confidence interval (CI): 29.0–57.1). Twelve-month OS was 15% (95% CI: 6.5–26.8). From lurbinectedin first dose, the median PFS was 2.5 months (95% CI: 1.8–2.9) and OS was 4.5 months (95% CI: 3.5–7.2). From SCLC diagnosis, the median OS was 12.9 months (95% CI: 11.0–17.2). Individuals with a longer chemotherapy-free interval prior to lurbinectedin had longer PFS and OS. Conclusion: This real-world national experience of lurbinectedin post-platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy for individuals with SCLC was similar to that reported in clinical trials.

description: These photos from the site visit represent the  three aspects of sustainability that were used  to guide the entire project design. Ecological  concerns about maintaining and improving the  riparian zone around the Virgin River resulted  in a conservative site layout that protected the  river and kept any building or hardscape  immediately adjacent to existing roads.  Social responsibility also called for the  maintenance of the Zion Canyon landscape  for all of the tourist visitors to the area.  Economic factors also suggested that the  business of the winery and the town structure  itself would be best served by buildings placed  close to the street in order to maintain a strong  town streetscape retail presence.

description: The gold deposits at Mercur, Utah, are typical epithermal deposits. Ore deposition probably occurred at depths of 1,000 feet or less with low temperatures ranging from 200 o + to 100 oC. The most prominent type of  metasomatism associated with the gold deposits is silicificatlon accompanied by sericitizatlon. Sulfur isotopic data for the deposits have a mean value of of +7.9 permil and have a spread of values which correlate with sulfur isotopic data for hot spring deposits.  Mercur is of interest structurally because of the occurrence of two breccea pipes believed to have originated as explosive events.  Organic extraction and analysis by infrared spectroscopy of carbon-rich samples from Mercur, Utah, and Carlin and Getchell Mine, Nevada, show the presence of alkane and carbonyl groups. The carbon present in all three areas is believed to be the result of reduction of hydrocarbons to carbon by the chemical conditions that once existed in the hydrothermal areas.
Titanium-catalyzed silicon nanowires grown by atmospheric chemical vapor deposition

description: This research work explored the growth of silicon nanowires with titanium  catalysts and atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD). A silicon  nanowire is a one-dimensional structure having a diameter on the order of a few  nanometers to hundreds of nanometers. Depending on the metal-catalyst used for a  silicon nanowire growth experiment, traces of the metal catalyst may be incorporated  within the wire, presenting a myriad of problems in terms of its end use in devices.  Titanium is seen as a possible solution to these compatibility issues in grown silicon  nanowires. Generally, the silicon nanowire growth has been described by the vaporliquid-  solid (VLS) mechanism, and through the vapor-solid-solid (VSS) mechanism, with  titanium-catalyzed growth thought to follow a VSS mechanism.  Titanium-catalyzed silicon nanowires were studied and their growth characterized  in the range of 650 °C to 1000 °C in 74 growth experiments. In general, silicon deposition  was observed at and above 800 °C, with nanowires observed sometimes at 825 °C to 975  °C, and almost regularly from 950 °C to 1000 °C for a partial pressure of the silicon  tetrachloride from 1.25 mbarr to 3.9 mbarr. Measured nanowire lengths were adjusted for  rotation and tilt angle of the sample holder, to give growth rates, V, versus diameter, d.  This gave a growth rate, V, from the plot of 1.58 nm/s to 3.92 nm/s, and diameter, d, from  189 nm

description: The concurrence of neuroscience research, predictive factors linking preschool quality to subsequent learning, and risk factors compromising developmental outcomes and therefore a child's ability to enter kindergarten with requisite skills have prompted changes in research, policy, and practice. The convergence of factors have resulted in unprecedented accountability measures in Head Start. It is incumbent on Head Start teachers to implement high instructional practices that will lead to improved learning trajectories for all children, particularly children at greatest risk for learning challenges. Yet there is a dearth of empirical evidence delineating the specific components of professional development interventions most likely to lead to positive and sustained changes in instructional practices. This study examined the receptivity of Head Start teachers' toward adopting evidence-based practices using the Evidence-based Attitude Scale and attitudes toward the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) to determine if relationships existed between Head Start teachers' attitudinal responses and scores on observational measures of teacher quality. Results of this study demonstrated statistically significant correlations between teachers' attitudinal responses to actual CLASS scores. Teachers' perceptions of the usefulness of various instructional interventions used to improve instruction were also investigated. Results indicate receptivity to adopt evidence-based practices and CLASS as well as satisfaction with a variety of interventions by a majority of Head Start teachers in the sample (N = 305).

Biosocial correlates of identity disturbance among suicidal youth
Creators: name: Kaufman, Erin A.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015
Subjects: Borderline personality disorder
Identity disturbance
Parent-child relations
Psychopathology
Psychophysiological responding
Suicide

description: The current study was designed to examine biosocial correlates of identity disturbance in a sample of suicidal youth at high risk for borderline personality disorder compared with community controls. We used a multimethod, multi-informant design to examine vulnerability and risk for identity disturbance, including biological assessments, self- and informant-report. Participants' electrodermal responding (EDR), respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), and fundamental frequency were collected during a motherchild discussion task regarding adolescents' personality characteristics. We predicted (1) suicidal adolescents would endorse greater overall identity distress across more domains compared with community controls, and (2) that biological vulnerabilities (e.g., EDR, RSA) and contextual risks (e.g., parent emotional arousal assessed with digital signal processing) would interact to predict higher self-reported identity distress among suicidal adolescents. Results indicate significant differences on identity scales for control and self-injuring adolescents. However, indices of biological and contextual risk did not interact to predict identity problems. Methodological limitations of the current study are discussed, along with implications for future research.

Migration and Biopower: An Ecological Reading of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden

description: This article discusses Thoreau’s Walden; or, Life in the Wood (1854) as an interpretative key to rethink contemporary relations between humans and nonhumans in ecological systems. While Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience came to be seen as his main political work sensu stricto, Walden’s socio-environmental criticisms has commonly been regarded as outside the scope of his political commitment. As this essay demonstrates, Thoreau’s social critique focused not solely on human life, but it widely encompassed the relevance of nonhuman beings, such as plants and animals or the pond’s ecosystem as a whole. Yet, how can such a critical discussion be adopted in order to reflect on the relations between humans and nonhumans in the current Anthropocene era? Informed by the critical tools of the environmental humanities and ecocriticism, we seek to expand Foucault’s concept of biopower to nonhuman beings through a critical reading of Thoreau’s Walden, what we consider as a cutting-edge attempt to present a less anthropocentric idea of ecological systems.

Control of inverter-assisted single-phase induction generators
Creators: name: Myers, Maxwell
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: control, induction machine, parameterization

description: This thesis investigates the problem of producing power using a single-phase induction machine. Single-phase induction motors are typically nonsymmetric two-phase motors, also called split-phase motors, with a main winding and an auxiliary winding. We consider the control of power delivered by the main winding through the auxiliary winding. A state-space model of an asymmetric split-phase generator has been developed. This model is used to characterize and identify a 1/3 hp induction machine. The parameters are used to predict suitable operating regions for the generator. It is found that there exists a viable operating region in a band just above the synchronous speed of the motor. Four control algorithms are presented. The first is a simple open-loop algorithm for a sinusoidal reference signal. The second is a controller based on the inverse-G adaptive algorithm. The third is an algorithm featuring an adaptive estimate of the system frequency response. Finally, a PI control method is considered for situations where the phase of the generated voltage does not need to be controlled. Simulated and experimental results are presented for each of the control algorithms. The closed-loop algorithms were able to track a desired reference. These algorithms were also able to reject a disturbance caused by a 20 percent increase in speed.
Decision making of a hospital based home care team during case management meetings.

description: The group decision-making process and resultant decision outcomes of an interdisciplinary hospital based home care team was described using an interaction process analysis method and an audit of client treatment plans.  The team demonstrated many characteristics of a collaboration stage of group development.  Positive, non-task behavior was high and there was little evidence of preplanning or standardization of problems, objectives or treatment. All decision procedures associated with production of high quality decision were used but some may not have been used enough.  Approximately 90% of the team's decisions were written in the client treatment plans but evaluation of the decision was difficult.  Almost 40% of the objectives were unmeasureable and 30% of the problems were insurmountable.  This study suggest that the decision work accomplished by an interdisciplinary health team during case management meetings may be partly a function of how that work is planned, organized, directed and controlled.
Ready Player One: Levels of Reality

description: In this paper, I would like to address the way in which the three levels of reality (utopian, dystopian, and retrotopian) in Steven Spielberg’s movie Ready Player One catalyse the plot and allow for a reflection on the role of nostalgia in our contemporaneity. Following Zygmunt Bauman’s definition of retrotopia as a leaning towards the past in search of the ideal society, I argue that the metafictional references scattered throughout the movie represent well the contemporary need to evoke the past and seek refuge in it through the assimilation of pop culture of the 80s and 90s. Moreover, I argue that the movie allows for a critique of the categories of utopia and dystopia, highlighting their intricate relationship and their nuanced meaning, and advocating for a shift of our attention towards the issues of the present.

Role of yFACT in transcriptional initiation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

description: The yeast Nhp6 protein is an architectural transcription factor in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Genetic experiments suggest that Nhp6 can affect gene expression both positively and negatively, depending on the gene. In this dissertation, I have explored the functions of Nhp6 in relation to the yFACT chromatin reorganizing complex. The results show that the transcriptional regulation by Nhp6 in regulating binding of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) is mediated through the yFACT complex. A genetic screen conducted in yeast identified TBP mutations that are lethal in the absence of Nhp6, but viable in a NHP6+ strain. Further analysis of these TBP mutations showed a functional interaction among Spt3, TBP and Nhp6 in regulating essential functions in vivo, including formation of the complex of TBP and TFIIA with DNA. Using both genetic and biochemical assays, we have shown that Nhp6, histone acetylation by Gcn5, and chromatin remodeling by the Swi/Snf chromatin remodeling complex, have a role in TBP-TFIIA complex formation. We have also explored functional relationships between Nhp6 and Gcn5 with negative regulators of TBP binding such as Mot1 and the Ccr4/Not complex. We show that Mot1 and Ccr4/Not also have a positive role in formation of the TBP-TFIIA complex in vivo. Previous work suggested that posttranslational histone methylation at H3-K36 regulates transcription at the elongation step. Our results show that this histone modification also negatively regulates yFACT mediated TBP and RNA polymerase II binding at the promoter regions of some genes. The ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler Chd1 physically and genetically interacts with components of the yFACT complex. In vivo Chd1 has been implicated in negative regulation of transcription. We provide evidence that shows an opposite role of Chd1 in the yFACT mediated stimulation of TBP and RNA polymerase II binding at promoter regions. The role of components of the yFACT complex in regulating transcription at the promoter region is discussed.
