M. moschiferus moschiferus: Corbet, 1978 p.198; Yoon, 1992 p.124.
Range: M. moschiferus occupied the high mountain ranges throughout the Korean Peninsula from the southern tip to northern areas, except Jeju Island (Won 1967). However, a few individuals were recently observed in several high mountains in the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range that form the spine of the Korean Peninsula from Mt. Baekdu in the extreme north to Mt. Jiri at the southern tip (NIBR 2015; Fig. 67).
Remarks: Revision by Sokolov and Prikhod'ko (1997, 1998) delineated five subspecies, including M. m. parvipes in Korea.
Conservation status: Both South Korea and North Korea designated M. moschiferus a Natural Monument. Also, the Ministry of Environment added the Siberian musk deer to the South Korean Endangered Species list in 1997. The South Korean Red Data Book considered M. moschiferus as ‘Critically Endangered’ (NIBR 2012) and the North Korean Red Data Book classified this species as ‘Vulnerable’ (MAB National Committee of DPR Korea 2002). The North Korean population was common at least in some areas of Mt. Myohyang until the 1970s, but the populations declined and became almost extinct through illegal snaring (Dr. William Duckworth, IUCN; pers. comm.).

description: Dear Program officers and Reviewers: Proposed title of the study: Molecular Basis of MHC-I Downregulation by HIV-1 Nef via AP-1 The Nef protein of Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) plays an important role in the progression of AIDS in humans. Nef allows the virus to evade detection by cells of the immune system called cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). CTLs normally kill infected cells and limit viral replication. Nef allows infected cell to go undetected by downregulating a protein complex named MHC-I from the cell surface. Nef uses a cellular binding partner named AP-1 to accomplish this. Through this research proposal, we aim to understand how Nef, MHC-I, and AP-1 interact at the molecular level. In order to achieve this objective, we have specific aims: 1) to express these individual protein components in a bacterial system, 2) to purify them and perform binding studies that identify the minimal components necessary for their interaction, and 3) to visualize the molecular structure of the complex by X-ray crystallography techniques. These specific aims can be achieved using available laboratory techniques that include cloning and expression of the proteins, identification of protein components necessary for the formation of biologically relevant complex, and finally the determination of the molecular structure of the protein complex. This structural determination would identify the interacting interfaces between the protein components. The structural basis of this host-pathogen protein-protein interaction could allow the design of potential inhibitors, leading to the development of novel antiviral drugs for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

description: While an effective, safe HIV vaccine is not yet available, current scientific research is coming closer to developing just such a vaccine. One of the more promising HIV vaccines being tested is an attenuated common-cold virus (adenovirus) altered to contain parts of the HIV genome. This safe form of the cold virus is injected into a subject to induce immune protection against HIV. In the proposed study, this adenovirus-based vaccine will be strengthened using immune stimulating molecules that are naturally made by the activated human immune system. Specifically, the genes CD40L and GITRL, involved in turning up the immune system, will be added to an adenoviral vaccine. By mixing adenovirus containing HIV proteins with adenovirus containing CD40L or GITRL proteins, it is anticipated that a stronger (adjuvanted) adenoviral HIV vaccine will be created. We have already proven the basic concept in this project in a previous study that used a less efficient kind of vaccine, which simply injects plain DNA encoding these proteins (DNA vaccination). In this previous work, we found that turning CD40L or GITRL into a multimeric protein (i.e. having many units stuck together) led to a stronger DNA vaccine. We believe that it is a logical next step to place these same immune stimulating molecules into an adenoviral vector, given the great enthusiasm for adenoviral vectors as HIV vaccines. In the first aim of the proposal, we will confirm that the protein is made as expected when it is inserted into the virus. We will make sure that infected cells produce the protein, and that it is biologically active. In the second aim, the virus will be used to infect dendritic cells, an immune cell that is turned on after binding to the CD40L protein. We expect the dendritic cells to be strongly activated when infected with adenovirus that expresses CD40L. In the third aim, mice will be vaccinated with the CD40L- and GITRL-expressing adenoviral vaccines. This vaccination will model the method that we hope will eventually be used to vaccinate volunteers in clinical trials. After being vaccinated, different ways of measuring vaccine strength will be used to determine whether the mice that received CD40L or GITRL had a stronger immune response than vaccines that are missing these immune-boosting proteins. If successful, these studies will show that we have indeed improved upon one of the leading vaccine candidates for HIV. These studies have broad public health significance for California, both as an AIDS vaccine and to benefit the development of many other types of vaccines.

The role of Nef-mu1 interactions in the modulation of MHC I

description: Like many viruses, HIV-1 evades the immune system in several ways. These include changing viral proteins to prevent recognition by antibodies and killer T cells, and removing MHC I proteins from the cell surface. The MHC I proteins are important in immune responses because they act as a “danger” signal that the cell is infected. They present pieces of viral proteins to cytotoxic T lymphocytes (the killer T cells, or CTL), and initiate a cell-mediated immune response. When they are removed from the cell surface by the infecting virus, the CTL do not initiate lysis of the infected cell and viral production continues unabated. In HIV, the protein responsible for removing MHC I from the cell surface is Nef. HIV Nef accomplishes this feat by hijacking the intracellular trafficking system, redirecting MHC I to a compartment inside the cell located near the nucleus. Thus, MHC I cannot present any HIV proteins to the CTL, and HIV escapes the immune response. This proposal focuses upon the mechanism by which Nef redirects MHC I. We will study the protein-protein interactions between MHC I, HIV Nef, and a cellular protein called AP-1, which is involved in normal trafficking of cell proteins. If we can understand the areas of proteins involved in this interaction, our work can be used for drug design of antiretroviral medications, as inhibiting this interaction would allow MHC I to stay on the cell surface and increase the host immune response against HIV.

description: The current proposal describes support for a research center in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV), UC Nicotine and Cannabis Policy Center (NCPC). The SJV contains many ethnically diverse and underserved groups with numerous health problems, including tobacco-related diseases. Despite these problems, limited health and health policy data on the region exist. Data are especially sparse for tobacco and cannabis control policies. There is very little information on the extent to which residents are aware of, and support, existing tobacco and cannabis control policies, and how various advocacy and governmental groups are engaged in policy formation and enforcement. Knowing whether people support tobacco and cannabis policies will help better direct when policy formation might be advantageous, where lapses in enforcement occur, and how tobacco control measures might best be communicated to the public.

 A major obstacle in tobacco and cannabis control is the region’s historical lack of a research entity that could inform and support public health departments and health agencies. The region has also been prone to non-regional investigators who have attempted to conduct research in the area, only for those efforts to be short-lived, with the researchers and results leaving the SJV without long-lasting benefits. UC Merced has already established foundational relationships and partnerships with the regional health stakeholders; the next step in long-term tobacco and cannabis control is to cement a commitment to tobacco and cannabis control research in the region by establishing a regional center.

 The proposed Center will be located in the one UC campus that has an explicit mission to reduce regional health disparities. The Health Sciences Research Institute (HSRI), with over 110 participating faculty, provides the foundation for the NPCP. The mission of NCPC is to conduct tobacco and cannabis policy research and disseminate and translate the results to support tobacco and cannabis control efforts and reduce tobacco-related morbidity and mortality for the SJV region. The research conducted in the Center will be focused on a) understanding the role of culture and youth in nicotine/cannabis policy knowledge, attitudes, and support; and b) empowering and supporting youth as agents of change in tobacco/cannabis control policy efforts at the local and state level.

description: The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey Coastal Research Center (CRC) presents the annual report for 2004 for the Borough of Avalon on the changing conditions of the oceanfront beaches within the Borough.The CRC  conducted monitoring activities along the Borough’s inlet beaches on a quarterly basis during 2004.  Since the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers beach restoration project was completed in 2002, the Borough decided to reduce the number of oceanfront surveys from four to two. The decision was made to use the CRC data to correlate with the Philadelphia District Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) data and allow rapid review of changes to the beach, reported directly to the Borough Council. These activities continue a monitoring program dating back to 1981. Conditions along the New Jersey shoreline remained well within the envelope of mild to moderate sea state with no significant individual northeast storms or hurricanes during this period of 2004.

description: In the mid-1960s, the US Surgeon General judged cigarette filters to be ‘unproved in reducing harms to the average smoker.’ Recent epidemiological data shows that overall mortality as well as the incidence of lung cancer, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease increased over time suggesting that the wide scale adoption of filtered cigarettes increased rather than decreased the risks of smoking. In addition, the discarded plastic filters may be an important source of environmental pollution. Many smokers continue to believe that filtered cigarettes are safer than unfiltered cigarettes, despite evidence to the contrary. This innovative research project assesses the acceptability among committed smokers of switching to unfiltered cigarettes from filtered cigarettes and compares the doses of nicotine and carcinogens after such a switch from filtered to unfiltered cigarettes. The project will involve a cross-over clinical trial among smokers to determine changes in their puffing behavior, carcinogen exposures, nicotine exposure, and attitudes toward smoking unfiltered cigarettes if they were no longer able to buy filtered cigarettes. Such research may inform regulatory policy regarding the possibility of banning filters from the U.S. cigarette market because they encourage uptake of smoking and discourage cessation.

description: Tobacco and marijuana are the most commonly used licit and illicit drugs consumed by pregnant women. Although we know that smoking tobacco is damaging to the fetus, little is known of the effects of prenatal exposure to cannabis. Moreover, even less is known about how the fetus is affected when a pregnant woman consumes both tobacco and cannabis, even though pregnant women report using these drugs in combination more often than cannabis use alone. Given the legalization of cannabis in California and around the country, rates of co-use are rising. In addition, the way tobacco and cannabis are consumed and the types of tobacco and cannabis products available have also changed dramatically. For example, potency levels of the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), have increased dramatically over the last decade, so it is important that we understand how high levels of THC affect the fetus. In addition, young women are more likely to use electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) to consume THC and nicotine because they are perceived as safer than smoking traditional cigarettes. Importantly, e-cigarettes also give consumers the ability to more easily combine nicotine and THC. With the changes in consumption, the risk to children who were exposed prenatally will not be known for years. Thus, we will use an animal model to help us determine the effects of prenatal exposure to the combination of nicotine and THC on the fetus so that we can better understand the potential risks of such exposure on brain and behavioral development. Pregnant rats will be exposed to varying levels of nicotine and/or THC via e-cigarette technology. Physical and behavioral development of the offspring of the pregnant rats exposed to nicotine and/or THC will be examined for long-lasting changes, including changes in motor function, activity levels, learning and memory, and emotion. This study will help us understand how co-use of tobacco and cannabis products via e-cigarettes may affect fetal brain and behavioral development, which will have important implications for establishing public policy and informing pregnant women of risks associated with use of these drugs.

description: Attempts to design drugs that stop infection and spread of HIV have focused on direct targeting of the virus and its inherent machinery. However, HIV exhibits a high propensity to mutate to new forms that escape these existing therapies. HIV, like all viruses, must rely on factors present in the infected individual to successfully reproduce and spread. This proposal will attempt to understand whether targeting an important host cellular process can aid in thwarting viral reproduction. Such a target holds the advantage that it will be constant in all individuals regardless of the infecting HIV strain. Furthermore, it is not under the selective pressure to mutate and so will not change as it is targeted by potential HIV drugs. It has been known for a long time that HIV can reside dormant in infected cells for many years. This reservoir of virus can lead to new virus production. However, the dormant virus must be switched on in order to undergo new rounds of replication and spread. This switch is contributed by an important host molecule known as transcription factor NF-kappaB. HIV has cleverly encoded the instructions for NF-kappaB recruitment so that active NF-kappaB will instigate viral replication in HIV-infected cells. Activation of NF-kappaB requires a careful sequence of regulated steps. Recently, a new discovered human factor known as Murr1 was shown to interfere with the ability of NF-kappaB to become activated in immune cells and start the process of HIV replication. It is not known how Murr1 accomplishes this. However, it is likely that by studying how Murr1 recognizes and inhibits NF-kappaB activation, one could learn a great deal about how to best design drugs that could do the same thing. In the proposed study, we will determine the mechanism of Murr1 inhibition of NF-kappaB-dependent HIV replication by using biochemistry and structural biology. We will probe the structure and chemistry of Murr1 alone and as it interacts with inactive NF-kappaB. We will develop tests for accurately measuring the amount of inhibition Murr1 provides. Finally, we will use the techniques of x-ray crystallography to determine the three-dimensional structures of Murr1 alone and bound to inactive NF-kappaB. We anticipate learning a great deal about a system that nature has evolved to put the brakes on transcription factorn NF-kappaB. We expect that this research will lead to new simple approaches to controlling the replication of HIV by aiming at targets that are essential to HIV but are under no selective pressure to mutate and escape.

REMARKS. These are the New World cicadas with ampliated lateral pronotal margins, hyaline fore wings and hind wings that are more or less spotted and possess a timbal cover that partially or entirely exposes the timbal. The distinguishing characteristics are a combination of hind coxae with a large inner protuberance, timbal covers that are reduced dorsally, a basal pygofer lobe that is usually bifurcate, an uncus that lacks a dorsal crest, and an aedeagus restrained by ventral apophyses (Marshall et al. 2018). The genera were recently assigned to one of two subtribes with the synonymy of the Dazini based on the shape and size of the timbal covers (Sanborn 2018a).

description: Genus Hydropotes Swinhoe, 1870
Both male and female Hydropotes have a different antlerless morphology from other cervids. Gentry and Hooker (1988) proposed consigning this genus to a separate family. Randi et al. (1998) identified Capreolus by mtDNA analysis as the closest taxa to Hydropotes and advocated placing Hydropotes in the Subfamily Capreolinae. We follow Grubb (2005) and classified the genus in Hydropotinae.

description: Coal industry should consider funding algal-based biofuel research to aid in greenhouse gas reduction and carbon sequestration
description: Our issue dealt with the failure of the United States to have an efficient alternative energy source, which could eventually develop into a replacement for regular petroleum gasoline. As of now the United States has tried other alternatives to generate cleaner and greener energy, however none of these has proved to be quite efficient enough for mass production. Each presents their own drawbacks, and for this reason, we sought to find a potential alternative clean energy source practical for the mass market. Through our research genetically engineered algal biofuels provided the answer to what we thought could be a possible alternative energy reservoir. With continued research and development, it is not a mistake to say, that algae could be the answer to our energy crisis. In the end we created a collection of what types of energy sources the United States has been relying on, and why algae could trump all of them. Using this information we formulated a research proposal and video to show the benefits of algal-based biofuels, in order garner more support for the industry and increased funding for research and development.

H. inermis argyropus: Kuroda, 1938 p.8; Tate, 1947 p.331; Ellerman & Morrison-Scott, 1951 p.354; Won, 1958 p.432; Won, 1967 p.55; Won, 1968 p.379; Corbet, 1978 p.203; Yoon, 1992 p.132.
Range: The distribution of the Chinese water deer included central and southern Korea, except Jeju Island and remote islands (Won 1968; Fig. 68). This deer had a limited range in the northeastern part of the Korean Peninsula (Kim et al. 2015). Due to its economic value as meat and fur, the North Korean government wanted to increase its range and therefore translocated three times (late 1950s–1960s) the species. Currently, H. inermis in North Korea expanded the distribution beyond the northeastern peninsula (Kim 1999).
Remarks: Two distinct subspecies inhabit Far East Asia: one resides in China (H. i. inermis), and the other occurs in Korea (H. i. argyropus). Although recent DNA analysis showed two phylogroups in H. i. argyropus (Koh et al. 2012a), Chinese water deer in Korea have limited geographic variation and morphological differences; therefore, only one subspecies, H. i. argyropus Heude, 1884 has so far been recognized in Korea (Hu et al. 2006, Kim et al. 2011a).
Conservation status: Populations of H. inermis have expanded in recent years, and the species has become a major agricultural pest in South Korea (NIBR 2017). The North Korean government made a habitat for the species at Mt. Guwol, Hwanghaenam Province a Natural Monument. Despite several releases of Chinese water deer by North Korean government, populations remain small due to illegal snaring for bush meat (Dr. William Duckworth, IUCN, Pers. Comm.). The Gwangju Metropolitan government designated this species a Provincially Protected Species in South Korea. The IUCN Red List records the Chinese water deer as ‘Vulnerable’.

Materials examined. 15 individuals; Stations Vas. 4(7), 5(1), 14(1), 30(2), 31(1), 36(1), 39(1), 41(1).
Distribution. Atlanto-Mediterranean (Bellan-Santini & Ruffo 2003). The species was reported from Cyprus by Kocatas et al. (2001). In Vasiliko Bay (current study), it is considered as a rare species (FI: 19.04 %).
Ecology. Westwoodilla rectirostris was found in soft-bottom sediments (mud, mud-sand mixture) at 62–300 m depth (Kocatas et al. 2001). In Vasiliko Bay it was found at 22–55 m depth (37 + 11 m), mainly in muddy sand and also sand substrates, with organic matter ranging between 2.2–11.119 % (7.48 + 2.056 %), in association with C. prolifera, C. cylindracea and H. stipulacea. It was found in stations classified according to the Bentix Index as in: “good” (3 stations, 9 individuals) and “moderate” (5 stations, 6 individuals). It was recorded at the fish farm station (2 individuals).

description: Spaces are not being utilized to their full extent in urban communities.  They lack green aspects that allow people to interact at those spaces or bring a beneficial attribute to the environment, as development of areas continue to happen daily.  Our solution first encompassed the idea of Parking(Day), the idea of occupying parking meter spaces and feeding it while people occupy the space to whatever they desire.  However, that idea did not really lift off, so the next alternative was to create re-purpose gardens, gardens that are portable enough to be placed and moved anywhere while using creativity when creating it and allows the gardener to grow their own vegetation of their desire.  The re-purpose gardens demonstrate simplicity in creating gardens in their choice of any base or planter, which can be an everyday household item while knowing what they feed their plants.  (DL)

description: How reliable is the Rutgers emergency alert system? The Division of Administration and Public Safety has employees working around the clock to monitor the different campuses to be sure the student body can be contacted immediately in the event of an emergency. The advances in technology over the past decade have allowed institutions to notify the public via computers, cell phones, etc. enabling them to take the necessary precautions for the situation at hand.  The Office of Emergency Management is responsible for notifying students during emergencies and runs the Rutgers Emergency Notification System (ENS). For many of the events, notifications are sent out via email, but would students prefer text message alerts today? Many of the emergencies are time sensitive and a text message would allow the public to be informed more quickly, or even a phone app. This would eliminate error within the system for students who fail to receive the text and allow for students to receive the alert faster
