Lutra lutra

description: Lutra lutra (Linnaeus, 1758) —Eurasian Otter
Mustela lutra Linnaeus, 1758 p.45; Type locality- Uppsala, Sweden.
Lutra lutra lutra: Kishida & Mori, 1931 p.380; Kuroda, 1938 p.24; Won, 1967 p.98; Won, 1968 p.303; Yoon, 1992 p.111.
L. lutra: Won, 1958 p.437; Won, 1968 p.302; Han, 1994 p.46; Won & Smith, 1999 p.18; Oh, 2004a p.183.
Range: The distribution of L. lutra ranges over most of the Korean Peninsula and adjacent coastal islands with fresh water, except Jeju and Ulleung islands (Jo et al. 2017c; Fig. 42). Although the first otter on Jeju Island was reported on 10 January 2018, we did not include Eurasian otter habitat on Jeju Island. Since one female otter was road-killed at a gas station in an urban area without a natural aquatic system, we assumed that the female otter accidentally arrived on a fish truck at a nearby supermarket. The species inhabits some remote islands such as Heuksan Island and re-occurred on Tsushima Island (50 km from the Korean Peninsula) Japan in 2017 after its extirpation in the 1980s.
Remarks: One subspecies, L. l. lutra, is thought to inhabit the Korean Peninsula (Yoon 1992).
Conservation status: Both the South and North Korean governments designated Lutra lutra as a Natural Monument. Also, the Ministry of Environment in South Korea recognized the Eurasian otter as an Endangered Species in 1998. Both the North and South Korean Red Data books list L. lutra as a ‘Vulnerable’ species (MAB National Committee of DPR Korea 2002; NIBR 2012). CITES lists L. lutra on Appendix I.

description: Brain metastases are among the most feared complications in breast cancer, but there are still no effective therapies. Nevertheless, brain metastasis is understudied in basic and clinical research. This is mainly due to a lack of suitable cell and animal models that duplicate the clinical setting to allow study of the molecular mechanisms that underlie breast cancer brain metastasis and define new functional targets for therapeutic intervention. Therefore, we have established new cell lines from breast cancer patients with brain metastasis that exhibit similar growth characteristics in our rodent models as in humans and which express the protein, called p32, in abundance. The p32 protein is expressed by several human cancers, including breast cancer, but its function remains unclear. Evidence suggests that p32 might be involved in tumor cell survival and growth. Our preliminary data demonstrate that the protein p32 is associated strongly with metastatic growth in the brain.

 Our aims are to investigate if the p32 protein has a similar function in our new breast cancer brain metastasis animal models. We hope to determine:

 1) Is p32 critical for breast cancer brain metastasis, and can targeting p32 stop metastatic growth?

 2) Does p32 influence the metabolism of breast cancer cells that grow in the brain?

 3) How does p32 influence breast cancer cell survival in the brain?

 First we will abolish the protein p32 in breast cancer cells from brain metastases and look at the effects on tumor cell growth in brain of experimental mice. Then, detailed analysis will pinpoint how p32 acts to regulate metastatic growth. To understand if p32 is involved in the metabolism of the tumor cells, we will study their ability to utilize sugar and other nutrients to produce energy. We will look into any changes in cell metabolism after abolishing the protein p32 in breast cancer. If p32 affects the ability of the tumor cells to generate energy, it will have important consequences for tumor cell survival under stress and starvation which is critical during metastasis. We will compare the growth and survival rates of the brain metastatic breast cancer cells with intact p32, or after removing its expression from cells. We will study these effects on cell death (apoptosis) mechanisms in the different tumor models, both in culture and in animals.

 Our group has developed unique new human breast cancer cell lines from brain metastases that recapitulate in mice the progression of metastatic brain disease as seen in the clinic. Results from this study might reveal p32 as a good candidate target in breast cancer brain metastasis for future therapeutic intervention in human patients.

On the structure of principal subspaces of standard modules for affine Lie algebras of type A
Creators: name: Sadowski, Christopher Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Using the theory of vertex operator algebras and intertwining  operators, we obtain presentations for the principal subspaces of all  the standard $widehat{goth{sl}(3)}$-modules. Certain of these  presentations had been conjectured and used in work of Calinescu to  construct exact sequences leading to the graded dimensions of certain  principal subspaces. We prove the conjecture in its full generality  for all standard $widehat{goth{sl}(3)}$-modules. We then provide a conjecture  for the case of $widehat{goth{sl}(n)}$, $n ge 4$. In addition,  we construct completions of certain universal enveloping algebras and provide  a natural setting for families of defining relations  for the principal subspaces of standard modules for  untwisted affine Lie algebras. We also use the theory of vertex operator algebras  and intertwining operators, along with conjecturally assumed presentations  for certain principal subspaces, to construct exact sequences among principal subspaces of certain  standard $widehat{mathfrak{sl}(n)}$-modules, $n ge 3$. As   a consequence, we obtain the multigraded dimensions of the principal subspaces  $W(k71Lambda71 + k72 Lambda72)$ and $W(k7{n-2}Lambda7{n-2} + k7{n-1} Lambda7{n-1})$.  This generalizes earlier  work by Calinescu on principal subspaces of   standard $widehat{mathfrak{sl}(3)}$-modules, where similar assumptions were made.

Three species on the Malay Peninsula and the Greater Sunda Islands. See taxonomic comments under M. moultoni.
Majangella moultoni Giglio-Tos, 1915
Majangella moultoni Giglio-Tos, 1915: 94 -95
Distribution. Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo (Werner 1933, Ehrmann 2002, Svenson & Whiting 2009, Bragg 2010).
Bornean records. Sarawak: Sadong (Giglio-Tos 1915b), Lanjak Entimau (3 m, CSUB/SFDC); Sabah: Crocker Range (Bragg 2010), Mt. Kinabalu (Bragg 2010), Danum Valley (Bragg 2010); Kalimantan: Long Petak (Werner 1933).
Remarks. Because of its superficial resemblance to bark-dwelling mantids (i. e. mottled color pattern and a groove between the first and second postero-ventral spine) this genus was included by virtually all authors within the Liturgusidae (Giglio-Tos 1915, Beier 1935c, 1964, 1968, Ehrmann 2002, Otte & Spearman 2005, Bragg 2010). However, Liturgusidae, in its classic sense, turned out to be a polyphyletic assemblage of unrelated taxa sharing only the bark-living lifestyle (see Svenson & Whiting 2009).
On the other hand, Werner (1922) assigned his new genus Ephippiomantis (with E. ophirensis as type species) to Acromantinae due to the shape of the frontal sclerite, the process on the vertex and the subapical lobes on mid and hind legs. The synonymy has recently been established by Svenson & Vollmer (2014). Molecular phylogeny (Svenson & Whiting 2009, as E. ophirensis) lately confirmed Majangella to belong to Acromantini.

A comprehensive study on parameters affecting stiffness of shear wall-frame buildings under lateral loads
Creators: name: Rokhgar, Nami
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Lateral Stiffness is one of the most important properties of a building which not only defines resistance to displacements under lateral loads but it can also have a great impact on natural period of a structure. Different stiffness values can ultimately affect the behavior of a structure under seismic loads and lateral forces that will be applied to it. In this study several parameters that can affect lateral stiffness of shear wall-frame buildings have been studied.  At first, different configurations of shear walls in plan were analyzed in both medium rise and high rise buildings. In both cases, models with a central concrete core showed higher stiffness and smaller lateral displacements but at the same time, higher story forces were applied to the structure in seismic analysis.  Cracking in shear walls is the other parameter considered in this study. Results indicate that cracked modification factors introduced in ACI can greatly impact the stiffness and other related properties of a building. A more precise approach is used to identify cracked elements based on finite element methods.  Openings in shear walls have also been studied. Analysis results showed that in the case considered, openings with an area up to 10% of the wall did not have a significant influence on stiffness of the structure but higher opening ratios eventually resulted into severe loss of stiffness and large displacements. Stiffness of walls not parallel to direction of load is also investigated. Results indicate that even small angles between direction of load and shear wall can considerably reduce the stiffness of a structure in a specific direction. In the end, two parameters affecting flexural capacity of shear walls have been studied, vertical reinforcement and wall thickness. Even though an increase in each of the two parameters can be helpful, results show that each of them can increase flexural capacity of a section more efficiently under different conditions.  Analysis in all of the models is performed by ETABS 2013. The intention is not to get involved in too many complex calculations, but rather compare the behavior of buildings in different conditions as a practical guide.

Superfast electrokinetics

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Electrokinetics provides one of the most plausible alternatives to mechanical pumping in microfluidics. Among its advantages are small volume, fundamental simplicity, overall low mass, and cost efficiency. Our work describes an experimental investigation of the superfast electrokinetics and represents the first attempts to obtain orders of magnitude higher velocities in microchannels. The significance of superfast electrokinetics is to design efficient micro pumps, space actuators, and sea gliders. The influence of applied electric field on both fluid and particle mobilities was quantified at high Peclet numbers using particle image velocimetry and flow rate measurements, simultaneously. The experiments are conducted at very short PDMS microchannels using polystyrene tracer particles and deionized water as the background flow. Electroosmotic slip velocities as large as 3 m/sec are obtained by applying very high electric fields. Classical linear electrokinetic theories cannot explain the experimental behavior of microfluidic systems in these extreme experimental conditions. The increasing field strength causes a rise in the density of ion fluxes at particle surfaces which leads to the deviation of the electrical double layer from the equilibrium state as a result of a local rearrangement in the electrolyte concentration and a potential drop. A secondary diffuse layer of counterions (space charge) is induced outside the primary electrical double layer because of concentration polarization. The nonlinearity associated with the effect of the electric field on the resulting induced charge is consistent with the obtained experimental data. Features of nonlinear electrophoresis are crucial in control, separation and manipulation of colloidal particles.

Year: 2012

description: This study examines the effectiveness of financial reporting in assessing credit risk within Rwanda's banking sector, aiming to identify challenges and recommend improvements. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, combining secondary data from financial reports and credit risk assessments with primary data from surveys and interviews of industry professionals. Statistical analysis revealed a strong negative correlation (r = -0.78, p < 0.01) between adherence to financial reporting standards and loan default rates. Additionally, the introduction of Rwanda's credit bureau in 2009 significantly reduced default rates (Mean = 30% before, 15% after; t = 7.43, p < 0.001). However, discrepancies in compliance, particularly among SMEs (χ² = 15.62, p < 0.05), highlighted ongoing challenges. The study concludes that robust financial reporting frameworks enhance credit risk assessment and recommends strengthening regulatory oversight, expanding credit information systems, and improving SME financial literacy to foster sustainable financial sector growth.

description: Tissue factor (TF) is the primary initiator of the blood coagulation cascade, which is physiologically important to prevent excessive bleeding and initiate wound healing. In addition to its crucial role in blood clotting, TF is expressed by tumor cells and this correlates with a poor prognosis. TF is known to promote metastasis via the blood, a process that involves several aspects of the clotting system, including thrombin, platelets and fibrin. The TF-factor VIIa complex also signals directly and activates tumor cells through G-protein coupled, protease activated receptors (PARs).

 We have obtained two independent lines of evidence that demonstrate a role for direct TF signaling specifically in breast cancer progression. First, we have identified and characterized a monoclonal antibody that is a selective inhibitor of TF signaling, but does not inhibit blood coagulation initiated by TF. This antibody effectively suppressed tumor growth of highly aggressive human breast cancer cells in mouse models. Second, in the spontaneous MMTV-PyMT mouse breast cancer model that recapitulates important aspects of breast cancer progression in humans, we show significantly delayed tumor development upon deletion of the intracellular, cytoplasmic domain of TF presumed to play a role in direct cell signaling. These preliminary data point to an important and previously not recognized role for TF in breast cancer progression.

 In this project we will study in detail how blocking the function of TF in coagulation and in cell signaling influences breast cancer growth and metastasis. We will treat established tumors in mice with TF-specific antibodies to establish the differential effects of inhibiting either TF signaling or coagulation on breast cancer tumor growth. The treated tumors will be analyzed to identify the effect of blocking TF on angiogenesis, proliferation, and apoptosis. In addition, we will determine whether biomarkers of TF signaling, such as phosphorylation, are reduced upon antibody treatment. The goal is to identify “surrogate markers” for TF signaling, so that we can eventually validate our results using primary human tumor specimens. We hope to gain insight into potential biomarkers that may select patients who will benefit from anti-TF therapy.

 These experiments test the novel concept that direct signaling of TF contributes to breast cancer progression and provide proof-of-principle experiments how to best target TF in breast cancer development and metastasis.

description: Changing demographics as more women and minorities join the workforce prompted changes in how organizations address and deal with diversity. Practitioners and researchers continue to debate the most effective methods of dealing with these changes on all levels, from the macro social consequences to the micro, such as the very definition of the term “inclusion” itself. This study proposed a model where servant leadership functioned as an inclusive leadership style that has a positive relationship with inclusion. Inclusion was hypothesized as a composite comprised of employee perceptions of uniqueness and belongingness within a workgroup. Consequently, inclusion was hypothesized to be positively related to both creativity and team citizenship behaviors. Utilizing structural equation modeling, the aim of this study was to test said model of inclusion from the perspective of employees.

Anti-HIV drug conjugates for enhanced mucosal pre-exposure prophylaxis
Creators: name: Samizadeh, Mahta
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: To combat HIV pandemic, targeting HIV mucosal transmission appears to be more effective than targeting later stages of the infection owing to the viral vulnerability and higher efficacy of antiretrovirals at this very early stage of HIV infection. The objective of the current project is to investigate the complementary benefits of combining an anti-HIV drug (amprenavir, APV), a cell-penetrating peptide (bactenicin &, Bac& CPP) and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) together as a nanocarrier conjugate for fast and efficient cytosolic delivery of the drug. The nanocarrier is to be incorporated into an alcohol-free thermosensitive foam for colonic/rectal delivery.  In the initial studies, APV-PEG conjugates were prepared using 2 to 30 kDa PEGs and protease inhibition properties were assessed in buffer using FRET-based protease inhibition assay. The results suggested that PEG size between 2 and 5 kDa is the optimum range for maintaining the protease inhibition activity. For further studies, APV-PEG3.4-FITC (APF) and a PEGylated APV conjugated with Bac& CPP (APV-PEG3.4-Bac& CPP; APB) were prepared. The anti-HIV-1 activities were assessed based on the potency of the conjugates to inhibit the viral replication in HIV-1 infected CD4+ MT-2 T-cells. Compare with free APV (IC50 = 50.29 nM), 160-fold reduction in potency was observed in APF activity (IC50 = 8.064 M) whereas APB conjugate exhibited anti-viral activity close to APV (IC50 = &8.29 nM), suggesting the poor cell penetration of APV-PEG was remedied by conjugating Bac& CPP.   Aerosol foams have some distinct advantages for rectal and vaginal drug delivery over conventional dosage forms including greater degree of spread, ease of application and enhanced drug delivery efficiency. Alcohol-free thermosensitive aerosol foams were prepared containing 0.5% to 2.0% of xanthan gum (XG). The foam with 1.5% XG showed the best performance among all the formulations; it was stable at room temperature for over 2 h while in vivo MRI of the foam in mice showed excellent colonic/rectal coverage with little discharge compare with saline enema or a conventional gel formulation. Histology of the colorectal tissue following daily application of the foam for 5 consecutive days showed no significant inflammation in the applied area.

Understanding water use in Phoenix, AZ

description: Water managers in Arizona are facing difficulties due to population and urban infrastructure growth. An understanding of water use patterns is critical to the management of urban water resources. This study focuses on estimating spatial and socioeconomic patterns of water users in the Phoenix Metro area through a series of statistical analysis. Using total water use for 2010 as a dependent variable and 36 socioeconomic characteristics as explanatory variables, four statistical methods were used to analyze the relationships: 1) Individual regression analyses, 2) A multivariate regression analysis 3) a principal components analysis (PCA) and 4) a principal components regression. Results show that water users between ages of 55 to 69 by census tract correlated strongest with total water use in 2010. Results of the multivariate regression of seven socioeconomic variables were able to explain &&% of the variability of water use across the study area. PCA analysis identified three components of socioeconomic variables that in combination explained &3% of water use. From the components four specific socioeconomic groups were identified: high income retiree populations, large Hispanic families, high income families, and low to middle income populations. To analyze the spatial clustering of water use and socio-economic data, local index of spatial autocorrelation (LISA) mapping was used. The identified socioeconomic clusters were found to overlay political boundaries. Recommendations presented include possible water use patterns for each identified socioeconomic group and some suggested programs that may be beneficial to water management. LISA results also suggest that addressing intra-city water management to account for the spatial variability of water use their users across political boundaries is important. The analysis presented here may be used as tool to identify broad spatial and statistical water use patterns, but it has limitations to understanding patterns at the level of households.
Alternating linearization for structured regularization problems

description: We adapt the alternating linearization method for proximal decomposition to structured regularization  problems. The method is related to two well-known operator splitting methods, the  Douglas-Rachford and the Peaceman-Rachford method, but it has descent properties with respect  to the objective function. Its convergence mechanism is related to that of bundle methods  of nonsmooth optimization. A block coordinate descent method is developed to facilitate fast  convergence. We also discuss implementation for large problems, with the use of specialized  algorithms and sparse data structures. We present numerical results for several synthetic and  real-world examples, including a three-dimensional fused lasso problem, which illustrate the  scalability, efficacy, and accuracy of the method. We further extend the alternating linearization  framework to the structured regularization problems with non-convex penalties. In this  framework, the non-convex part of the objective function is approximated via a linear model.  Therefore, in each iteration, the method solves a structured regularization problem. We present  several numerical studies with synthetic data and cancer research data.

Range: The distribution of Martes flavigula ranges over the Korean Peninsula, except on remote islands (Fig. 43).
Remarks: Two subspecies, M. f. koreana and M. f. aterrima, were recognized in Korea (Won 1967). The distribution of M. f. koreana covers most of Korea, whereas, M. f. aterrima occupies northern Korea (Won 1967). Wozencraft (2005) subsumed M. f. koreana as a synonym of M. f. borealis. Although M. f. borealis was regarded as a junior synonym of M. f. aterrima (Heptner et al. 1967), Wozencraft (2005) listed M. f. borealis as a distinct subspecies. Thus, the one subspecies inhabiting Korea is M. f. borealis.
Conservation status: The Ministry of Environment of South Korea designated the yellow-throated marten as an endangered species in 1997. The Red Data Book of North Korea listed M. flavigula as ‘Rare’ (MAB National Committee of DPR Korea 2002). The Red Data Book of South Korea registered M. flavigula as ‘Vulnerable’ (NIBR 2012).

“Drunkenness is no excuse for crime"
Creators: name: Rotunda, Michele
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Using a variety of court cases as evidence, this study focuses on several competing, and often unresolved, models of responsibility for crimes related to intoxication that emerged in nineteenth century America.  Drunkenness truly was “no excuse” for crime in the early years of the nineteenth century; however, changes in the fields of medicine, the law, and society created the circumstances under which such a defense became more viable, and certainly more prevalent, if only intermittently successful, by mid-century.  American courts began, in the 1820s, to accord an expanded exculpatory value to intoxication due to several factors:  1. The medicalization of alcohol use from delirium tremens to dipsomania to inebriety created categories of mental illness from which to argue for limited or even absent responsibility under the law.  2.  American law, beginning in 1&94, allowed for a greater recognition of the issue of intent in crimes, in particular, creating statutory degrees of violent crimes that were dependent on establishing appropriate mens rea.  Evidence of intoxication could be used to disprove intent and thus lower the charge to second degree.  3.  The cautionary tale of a good man ruined by the effects of alcohol was an important tool used by the early temperance movement as it sought to curb the pernicious effects of drinking in a nation rife with alcohol.  In much of the temperance literature, “demon rum” and the “rum-seller” often joined the drunkard as accomplices in crime. Somewhat ironically, the demonization of alcohol and those who sold it allowed for a narrative that mitigated the actions of the drunkard himself.  By the post-bellum period, a backlash, led by medical professionals and buttressed by an influential temperance movement, materialized, but the groundwork had been laid for considering what today is more likely to be called a defense of “diminished capacity.”
Creation and characterization of VZV recombinant strain ORF&Δ in a novel RFP-ORF23 fusion BAC construct
Creators: name: Rubino, Ryan

description: The Alphaherpesvirus varicella zoster virus (VZV), while widely vaccinated for in the  United States, still remains an important human pathogen. The bacterial artificial  chromosome method (BAC) was used to make a deletion mutant of the ORF& protein, implicated in the observed tissue tropism exhibited by VZV, in an RFP-ORF23 fusion BAC. For this experiment, a novel double-selection cassette using galactokinase and zeocin as markers was developed to attempt to circumvent the shortcomings of single selection additions to a BAC. Red fluorescent protein coupled to ORF-23, a viral tegument protein, was used to confirm positive infection of ARPE cells, and should allow direct visualization of the viral life cycle with fluorescence microscopy illuminating where in VZV’s life cycle ORF& is required for viral release. The virus exhibited a slow-growing phenotype typical of ORF& deletion mutants in relation to wild-type. Further research will aim to produce a suitable vaccine strain called ORF&S, and visualize this clone as it moves through differentiated neuronal cells.

description: The World Health Organization estimated that HIV/AIDS has killed more than 60 million people since it was first discovered in 1981, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in recorded history. Introduction of highly active antiretroviral drug therapy (HAART) that blocks the activities of HIV proteins has led to a modest reduction in the lethal effects of HIV. However, new drug therapies are needed, because the high mutation rate of the HIV genome allows the virus to acquire resistance to drugs that block its own proteins. Host cell proteins provide a less elusive drug target than HIV proteins because their mutation rates are very low. My work is focused on uncovering and understanding new host cell components required for HIV infection. My work involves the viral protein Rev, which plays a critical role in HIV replication. I have identified a host cell protein called Huwe1 that is required for Rev functions in host cells. I propose to characterize the molecular mechanism by which Huwe1 acts to allow Rev to function. By understanding this, I hope to lay the groundwork for the development of new drugs for blocking HIV replication.
