description: Lipid co-oxidation of proteins was studied in peanut butter packaged in laminated MRE pouches; incubated at 25, 40, and 60 C for twelve weeks; and analyzed weekly for physical properties (moisture content, texture, color), lipid degradation (conjugated dienes, hydroperoxides, aldehydes, free fatty acids), and protein characteristics (solubility, intrinsic fluorescence, Schiff base fluorescence, SDS and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and protein carbonyl products).    Changes in nearly all properties increased with incubation time and were more marked at 60 C than at the two lower temperatures. Among physical properties, peanut butter darkened and became redder with incubation and texture hardened and became less cohesive and more sticky and gummy. Less than 1% moisture was lost so texture changes were due to chemical modifications rather than dehydration.   Values of conjugated dienes and hydroperoxides cycled (+/) with a three week periodicity; levels remained low and showed a net decrease during incubation. Low levels of aldehydes formed during the first few days of incubation at 60 C, then decreased thereafter; aldehydes did not accumulate at lower temperatures. In contrast, fatty acids increased to 3% at 60 C and 1% at lower temperatures, due at least in part to oxidation of aldehydes.   Peanut proteins showed unique modification of surface residues that resulted in differential loss of Coomassie blue and silver dye binding, structural reorganization of arachins, and shifting of albumins and globulins to SDS-soluble fractions. Surface modifications resulted primarily from extensive protein oxidation revealed in antibody reactions, especially in the SDS-soluble fraction, although low levels of carbonyl-amine reactions (Schiff base or Michael addition) and some decarboxylation of acidic residues were also detected. Only limited disulfide and non-disulfide crosslinking was observed, but there was notable fragmentation or disassociation of arachins. Protein modifications followed the same cycling pattern as lipid oxidation, suggesting that lipid oxidation products did not accumulate because lipid radicals, hydroperoxides, and to a lesser extent aldehydes reacted preferentially with proteins, broadcasting oxidation to these non-lipid molecules. Hardening of the peanut butter appears to be directly related to surface modifications and structural reorganization of the proteins mediated by oxidized lipids.

description: In mammals, DNA methylation and chromatin modification represent two intertwined layers of heritable epigenetic information superimposed onto the primary DNA sequence. This information plays a critical role in determining how mammalian genomes are structurally organized and functionally regulated. Epigenetic defects are increasingly associated with human diseases, particularly cancer. In this proposal we will focus on the UHRF1 protein, which is often overexpressed in cancer cells and possibly functions as an oncogene by regulating the G1/S transition. Recent reports indicate that UHRF1 is required for the maintenance of global DNA methylation patterns. We have shown that UHRF1 is also required for the proper distribution of nucleosomes carrying a trimethylated lysine on the ninth position of histone H3 (H3K9me3), an important chromatin mark that, like cytosine DNA methylation, is highly correlated with gene silencing. The mechanisms by which UHRF1 regulates the formation of both DNA methylation and H3K9me3 patterns are still unclear but likely involve two specialized domains that have now been structurally characterized by our collaborator, Dr. Dhe-Paganon, at the University of Toronto. The SRA domain recognizes hemi-methylated DNA and is thought to enable DNMT1, the main maintenance DNA methyltransferase, to restore full methylation across both DNA strands. UHRF1 also carries a novel, previously uncharacterized, Tandem Tudor Domain (TTD) that specifically binds to H3K9me3. The ability of UHRF1 to physically “read” both DNA and chromatin modifications places it uniquely at the interface between the two layers of epigenetic silencing. While the two binding domains of UHRF1 are structurally well characterized, questions remain as to how they mechanistically contribute to gene silencing pathways in living cells. The long-term goal of this proposal is to characterize the in vivo function of UHRF1 in the maintenance of epigenetic memory. We will address the roles of the TTD and SRA domains in cell culture models by targeted mutational analysis, as described in the following Specific Aims: Specific Aim #1: To test the hypothesis that the SRA domain is required for all aspects of maintenance DNA methylation. Specific Aim #2: To test the hypothesis that the TTD is involved in maintenance of both DNA methylation and H3K9me3 marks. Specific Aim #3: To test the hypothesis that the TTD protects H3K9me3 from demethylation.

description: Democratic management, a unique union-based form of employee participation in China, is understudied in the employee participation literature. The paper investigates the associations between employee’s perceived democratic management effectiveness, employee job performance and organization citizenship behavior (OCB), using 988 matching surveys of both workers and their supervisors in a state-owned petrochemical firm in Central Region of China. We find that our measure of employee’s perceived democratic management effectiveness is positively associated with employee’s job performance and organization citizenship behavior (OCB). However, the association between perceived democratic management effectiveness and employee performance is negative if the employee is dispatch worker. Our interpretation of the findings suggests that employee’s perception of democratic management effectiveness is a source of employee performance.

description: This thesis  consists of two parts: In part I we apply the statistical mechanics  techniques to a generalization of the prescribed $Q$-curvature  problem, especially on the $mbox{sc d}$-dim sphere $mathbb  S;{smallmbox{sc d}}$. We introduce a coupling constant $c$ on top  of the configurational canonical ensemble and study the weak  convergence of this new canonical ensemble. In this part, the  $Q$-curvature does not change sign. In part II the statistical  mechanics technique is generalized to the prescribed $Q$-curvature  problem with sign-change,  while the mechanical interpretation will  be lost. We decompose a single differential equation into a system  of two differential equations, and the statistical mechanics  technique can be applied to each equation.

description: The critical role of the tumor microenvironment in breast tumor progression is underscored by findings that both neoplastic cells and cells within the tumor stroma conspire to promote tumorigenesis. Progression and invasion of breast tumors epithelial cells depends upon both activation of angiogenesis and infiltration of macrophages and thus , effective management of breast tumors requires combinatorial approaches to target both the tumor and activated stroma. My laboratory has focused on understanding of how cellular communication between heterogeneous cell types within tissues are globally coordinated, and how this communication is disrupted during cancer development. We previously showed that the master morphoregulatory gene, HoxD10 is expressed in normal breast epithelium as well as in quiescent differentiated endothelial cells in normal breast tissue7. However, breast epithelium progressively lose HoxD10 as they acquire invasive growth properties and activated angiogenic blood vessels in breast tumors also lose expression of HoxD10. Importantly, restoring HoxD10 expression to activated endothelial cells inhibits angiogenesis and restoring HoxD10 in malignant or metastatic breast epithelial cells restores characteristic epithelial-BM interactions, induces a “normal” polarized phenotype, growth arrest and diminished tumor formation in vivo, despite multiple genetic defects within neoplastic cells. Considering the dominant role of HoxD10 in maintaining normal mammary tissue homeostasis and differentiated function, we will also investigate whether HoxD10 attenuates macrophage and inflammatory cell infiltration into breast tumor tissue. Our data indicate that restoring HoxD10 in human breast tumor cells reduces expression of key inflammatory chemokines. Thus we will assess recruitment of monocyte/macrophages in response to invasive or HoxD10 expressing breast tumor cells in both 3-D heterotypic culture models and in a murine model of mammary carcincoma in vivo. These studies will establish whether restoring HoxD10 coordinately inhibits epithelial cell growth, angiogenesis and further stabilizes the breast tumor microenvironment by attenuating the inflammatory response.
Modeling of the phsical environment and its effects on oyster disease in Delaware Bay

description: Delaware Bay is important to a variety of ecological and economic processes including the production of oysters. For this Bay we develop, validate and apply a high-resolution hydro-dynamical model, hindcast its largely unknown physical environment, investigate the roles of the physical environment influencing oyster diseases, the Multinucleated Spheres of unknown origin (MSX), and inquire into the future fate of the Bay in response to climate changes.     Model parameters are determined based on multiple experiments. Model validation against extensive in situ datasets shows that the model has significant skill in predicting variations in tracers and circulation.      The model is applied to inquire into the relationships between water properties and the observed MSX prevalence (MSXP), and simulations of concurrent physical conditions are performed. Correlation analyses indicate that MSXP is significantly correlated with river flow, salinity, and the salty-warm area (SWA) index that combines the effects of temperature and salinity. The positive river flow/temperature and the negative river flow/salinity correlations determined a negative temperature/salinity correlation with relatively small SWA, helping control MSX. An effective upper Bay transport mechanism, via timely spreading MSX with a MSXP gradient often available, may also contribute to MSXP in the upper Bay.      We inquire into the potential impacts on the physical environment in Delaware Bay arising from future climate change. Our sensitivity studies suggest that sea level rise (SLR) in 50-100 years may significantly change circulations and salinize the Bay mainly via weakened salinity gradient and salt advection, associated with intensified mixing induced by the widened Bay. Intensified river flow may not offset the SLR-induced salinization. Warmer surface air may significantly warm the shallow and thermally sensitive Bay. These new physical conditions would be generally unfavorable to oysters because they tend to promote oyster diseases (i.e., MXP and Dermo).      By fixing the coastline the salinization induced by the SLR would be substantially mitigated. The avoidance of dredging in the lower Bay would also mitigate the salinization to some extent. Similar processes related to salinization and warming may occur in other similar estuaries.

description: Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones frequently included in cancer therapies. Glucocorticoids are used to treat leukemia, lymphoma, and myleoma due to their ability to induce apoptosis in immune cells. Glucocorticoids are also included in chemotherapies treating solid tumors, because their anti-inflammatory activity can reduce edemas and nausea. While glucocorticoid treatments are clearly beneficial, they are not benign. Chronic treatments of glucocorticoids yield adverse side effects. Moreover, because glucocorticoids protect epithelial cells from undergoing apoptosis, they could decrease therapeutic efficacy in treating solid tumors. The biological effects of glucocorticoids are mainly mediated by an intracellular receptor, glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which upon binding to ligands associates with genomic glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) to affect the transcription of nearby genes. An emerging concept in glucocorticoid pharmacology is to design ligands (called as “selective GR modulators”, SGRMs) to selectively exert certain aspects of GR functions. To do this, it is important to understand how ligands regulate GR action. We hypothesize that binding to distinct ligands induces different GR conformations, which affects GR-protein interaction. To test this model, the objective of this proposal is to systematically compare and analyze the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of a synthetic glucocorticoid, prednisolone, and a novel SGRM, L5. We will use biochemical approaches, such as chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and DNAse I accessibility assay, to determine the mechanisms underlying the differential effects of L5 on prednisolone-activated genes. Furthermore, we will use tandem affinity purification method and mass spectrometry to identify proteins that differentially interact with prednisolone bound GR and L5 bound GR. The proposed experiments not only will expand our understanding on how ligands modulate GR activity, but also provide new insights into future development of SGRMs.

Tetramorium (Xyphomyrmex) [sic] degener Santschi, 1911: 124. Holotype worker, Madagascar (J. de Gaulle) (NM, Basle) [examined]. [Data label on holotype states: T. (X.) ranarum r. degener.]
Worker. TL 2.1 - 2.5, HL 0.58 - 0.60, HW 0.52 - 0.55, CI 89 - 93, SL 0.37 - 0.40, SI 69 - 74, PW 0.38 - 0.42, AL 0.60 - 0.66 (10 measured).
Mandibles longitudinally striate, anterior clypeal margin with a shallow notch or indentation medially which may be difficult to see in some specimens. Frontal carinae distinct to well beyond the level of the eyes but fading out in the posterior quarter of the head-length and becoming indistinguishable from the remaining cephalic sculpture. Antennal scrobes shallow but conspicuous in full-face view, the lower part of the scrobal area with reticular sculpture. Eyes of moderate size, maximum diameter c. 0.12, about 0.22 x HW. Propodeum with a pair of stout triangular spines, the metapleural lobes triangular and acute. Node of petiole in profile higher than the dorsum is long, with roughly parallel anterior and posterior faces and a feebly convex dorsum. In dorsal view the petiole node very slightly broader than long. Postpetiole evenly convex in profile. Head with fine longitudinal rugulation dorsally, which becomes reticulate occipitally. Interspaces with a very feeble superficial punctulation. Dorsal alitrunk reticulate-rugulose, best developed on the pronotum, the rugulae fine and sharply defined, not having a beaded appearance dorsally.
Postpetiole and gaster always unsculptured but the petiole dorsum often with traces of sculpture present. All dorsal surfaces of head and body with numerous fine hairs, mainly erect or suberect. Colour uniform light brown, the appendages lighter.
T. degener is a small species characterized by its moderately sized eyes and sharply defined sculpture. It is closest related to quasirum, a similar-sized species, but here the sculpture of the dorsal alitrunk is low and blunted, the upper surface with a beaded appearance due to the presence of fine aligned punctulation. Similar sculpture is present on the pronotum of coillum and ranarum, but this latter species averages larger and has relatively small eyes, and the former retains traces of rugulose sculpture on the postpetiole.

Automated and quantitative phenotyping of C. elegans genetic screens from high-throughput image data
Creators: name: White, Amelia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: High throughput screens producing image data, are becoming increasingly easy to perform.  Nevertheless, manual evaluation of image data is impractical because it is not only time intensive, but also prone to error. The model organism C. elegans is frequently used to study fundamental questions in development and behavior and is particularly amenable to high throughput screening due to its small size and ability to be cultured in a well of a 96 well plate.  In this thesis I will describe an automated image analysis system (DevStaR) for quantitative phenotyping of embryonic lethality and sterility from populations of C. elegans in 96 well plates. This image analysis system counts each developmental stage in an image of a C. elegans population, allowing efficient high throughput calculation of C. elegans viability phenotypes.  DevStaR is an object recognition machine comprising several hierarchical layers that build successively more sophisticated representations of the objects (developmental stages) to be classified. The algorithm segments the objects, decomposes the objects into parts, extracts features from these parts, and classifies them using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) and global shape information. This enables correct classifications in the presence of complicated occlusions and deformations of the animals.  Features of the classified objects are then used to obtain a count of each developmental stage.  I have used this system to analyze phenotypic data from approximately 50 C. elegans genome wide genetic interaction screens, as well as a genome wide RNAi screen in high replication (~30 replicates per RNAi clone).  Using the quantitative phenotype output by DevStaR I have examined features of the high-throughput screen data, such as variability and penetrance, which have not been examined in detail previously due to a lack of automated and quantitative scoring methods available for high-throughput image data.    DevStaR overcomes a previous bottleneck in image analysis by achieving near real-time scoring of image data in a fully automated manner.  Moreover, DevStaR reduces the need for human evaluation of images and provides rapid quantitative output that is not feasible at high throughput by manual scoring.

Holotype worker. TL 2.5, HL 0.64, HW 0.61, CI 95, SL 0.43, SI 70, PW 0.44, AL 0.68.
Mandibles with delicate sculpture resembling feeble shagreening, not longitudinally striate. Anterior clypeal margin with a median impression or notch. Frontal carinae strongly developed and surmounted by a narrow rim or flange, forming the dorsal margin of a shallow but conspicuous broad scrobe. The scrobe is bounded ventrally by a feeble longitudinal carina, running above the eye, which also forms the posterior boundary of the scrobal area. Dorsal alitrunk in profile evenly convex, without trace of metanotal groove. Propodeal spines stout and acute, metapleural lobes triangular. Shape of pedicel segments as in Fig. 26, the petiole in dorsal view very slightly broader than long, the postpetiole conspicuously so. Dorsum of head finely but irregularly longitudinally rugulose with very feeble traces of a reticulum occipitally, the interspaces with very faint ground-sculpture. Dorsal alitrunk finely reticulate-rugulose, the meshes tending to be more conspicuous on the pronotum. Petiole and postpetiole with the faintest traces of ground-sculpture dorsally, almost smooth. Gaster unsculptured. Short fine hairs present on dorsum of head but almost wholly confined to the dorsal surface of the frontal carinae. Longer fine, erect hairs present on dorsal alitrunk but very sparse, pronotum with 2 pairs, mesonotum with 1 pair, propodeum with 2 pairs in holotype, all located laterally where the dorsum meets the sides. Petiole, postpetiole and first gastral tergite without hairs, but the last with very fine appressed pubescence. Colour uniform light orange-brown.
Holotype worker, Madagascar: Cote Ouest, Jangoa, degraded for. litter, 18. i. 1966 (J-M. Betsch) (MCZ, Cambridge).
In the ranarum-group ibycterum is unique in lacking any trace of pilosity on the first gastral tergite, and in this respect it resembles the cognatum-complex in the schaufussi-group. However, the shape of the petiole node and the presence of sculpture on the mandibles indicate that the true affinities of ibycterum lie with ranarum and its allies.

(Fig. 27)
Holotype worker. TL 30, HL 0.74, HW 0.69, CI 93, SL 0.48, SI 69, PW 0.52, AL 0.84.
Mandibles very delicately longitudinally striate, anterior clypeal margin with a narrow median impression. Eyes moderate, maximum diameter 0.14, about 0.20 x HW, the maximum diameter with about 8 facets. Frontal carinae strong, surmounted by a narrow rim or flange and forming the upper margins of the strongly developed scrobes, which are bounded below by a strong longitudinal carina running above the eye and are divided into upper and lower portions by a strong median longitudinal carina which runs back well beyond the level of the posterior margin of the eye. The posterior margin of the scrobe is bounded by a downcurvature of the frontal carina which is directed towards the lower occipital corner (Fig. 27). Propodeum armed with a pair of narrow spines which are slightly upcurved along their length, the metapleural lobes elongate-triangular and acute. Petiole in profile high and quite narrow, the dorsal length less than the height of the tergal portion of the node. Postpetiole regularly convex. Petiole in dorsal view distinctly broader than long. Dorsum of head irregularly longitudinally rugulose, the interspaces with fine superficial punctulation. Dorsal alitrunk with spaced-out longitudinal rugulae, without transverse sculpture except on the extreme anterior pronotum. Spaces between rugulae glossy, with very feeble groundsculpture. Dorsal surfaces of petiole and postpetiole unsculptured although the sides of these segments have some dense but faint punctulation. Gaster unsculptured. All dorsal surfaces of head and body with abundant fine pilosity. Colour brown.
Holotype worker, Madagascar: Causse de Kelifely, 20 - 30. xi. 1974, forest humus and litter, dry forest (A. Peyrieras) (MCZ, Cambridge).
From the overall appearance of this species, and especially because of the strongly developed scrobes and dense pilosity, it seems to be an attempt by a member of the ranarum-group to acquire a Triglyphothrix-like habitus (but of course without the branched hairs), and these characters separate it well from related species in this group. The development of the scrobe is along the same lines but less complete in zenatum, but in this species the petiole node has a characteristic and very distinctive shape (Fig. 19).

A summary of the findings and recommendations of the master plan studies of the borough of Sayreville

Year: 1960

description: This report is a summary of the findings and recommendations of the master plan studies of the borough of Sayreville.The Sayreville Master Plan is a composite of recommendations and objectives designed to guide municipal policy in regard to future public and private development. The Plan, however, is not a final product. It must be worked with and continually reviewed in the light of changing conditions. The data and analysis which have gone into the development of the Plan should be constantly maintained. When changes, adjustments or additions to the Plan are indicated, they should be made sothat the recommendations always represent a valid and reasonable estimate of the future growth and needs of the Borough.The Sayreville Master Plan has been developed to guide the growth of the Borough for the next twenty years. Although a large portion of the Township is still undeveloped, the forthcoming years will undoubtedly bring Sayreville very close to a status of full development. The Borough has chosen to plan for this anticipated development, rather than leave it to chance.
Investigating the mechanisms of the sensitization effect of gold nanoparticles in radiation treatment of cancer cells

description: We plan to study the mechanisms responsible for enhanced cellular damage to tumor cells in the presence of nanoparticles and radiation. The proposed research is based on our recent studies in which we observed enhanced radiation damage to both free DNA molecules conjugated to gold nanoparticles and to cells incubated with these nanoparticles. The enhancement in DNA damage was attributed to a local effect in which radiation-induced low energy electrons emitted from gold nanoparticles interacted with water to produce radicals that then reacted with the DNA to cause extra damage. In cellular cytotoxicity experiments, the cause(s) remain undetermined. We thus hypothesize that gold nanoparticles can act as a bio-physical amplifier of ionizing radiation energy – enhancing the effects of the radiation. Aim 1. Gold nanoparticles are taken up passively by the cells: The location of large particles (~10 nm) within the cell will be determined by optical microscopy. For cellular localization of smaller ones, fluorophores will be conjugated to them and they will be visualized with confocal microscopy. To quantitatively determine the quantity of gold nanoparticles in the cells, cryogenic scanning electron microscope (SEM) will be used. Aim 2: Determine the cytotoxicity mechanism of gold nanoparticle in the cells: We will measure the dose response of target cells containing different amounts of nanoparticles using comet and ?H2AX protein assays to precisely determine the level of DNA damage. Through isobologram analysis we will determine whether the effects of the nanopartcle are either additive or synergistic. This will provide information on the mechanism of the potentiating effect. Aim 3: Determine whether the damage is caused by direct or indirect effect through radical reactions with nuclear DNA or other molecules in the cell. We will incubate cells with gold nanoparticles and irradiate in presence of reactive oxygen species scavengers. Their presence would decrease the level of free radicals and thus reduce the level of DNA damage, resulting in lower killing. Successful identification of the mechanism underpinning the enhanced cellular toxicity will enable us to optimize the design of future nanoparticle-based cancer therapeutics. If cellular damage could be achieved without internalizing these gold nanoparticles, then targeted damage could be achieved through conjugating these nanoparticles to antibodies or peptides that recognize specifically extracellular molecules on the surface of
