Effects of oriented substrates on cell morphology, the cell cycle, and the cytoskeleton in Ros 17/2.8 cells

Absence of gravity or microgravity influences the cellular functions of bone forming osteoblasts. The underlying mechanism, however, of cellular sensing and responding to the gravity vector is poorly understood. This work quantified the impact of vector-directional gravity on the biological responses of Ros 17/2.8 cells grown on upward-, downward- or edge-on-oriented substrates. Cell morphology and nuclear translocation, cell proliferation and the cell cycle, and cytoskeletal reorganization were found to vary significantly in the three orientations. All of the responses were duration-dependent. These results provide a new insight into understanding how osteoblasts respond to static vector-directional gravity.

X射线诱导的HeLa细胞旁效应中ROS和NO关系研究

活性氧(ROS)和一氧化氮(NO)是辐射诱导的旁效应信号通路中的两个重要信号分子。实验研究了这两种信号分子在HeLa细胞旁效应信号通路中的关系。通过微核实验,发现X射线辐照过的HeLa细胞及其旁观者细胞微核形成明显增加,而二甲亚砜(DMSO)预处理显著抑制了微核形成。另外还发现,接受条件培养基的旁观者细胞的增殖速率增加,而DMSO预处理产生条件培养基的受辐照细胞则使旁观者细胞的增殖速率降低。以上的结果从不同角度证实了HeLa细胞存在X射线诱导的旁效应,且其可以被DMSO预处理所抑制。Western blotting和DAF-FMDA荧光探针检测分别显示出辐照后细胞的诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)和NO水平均升高,而DMSO预处理则降低其水平。因此,可以推测X射线诱导的HeLa旁效应当中ROS是NO的上游信号。

Civil Rights on the Cell Block: Race, Reform, and Violence in Texas Prisons and the Nation, 1945-1990

This study, "Civil Rights on the Cell Block: Race, Reform, and Violence in Texas Prisons and the Nation, 1945-1990," offers a new perspective on the historical origins of the modern prison industrial complex, sexual violence in working-class culture, and the ways in which race shaped the prison experience. This study joins new scholarship that reperiodizes the Civil Rights era while also considering how violence and radicalism shaped the civil rights struggle. It places the criminal justice system at the heart of both an older racial order and within a prison-made civil rights movement that confronted the prison's power to deny citizenship and enforce racial hierarchies. By charting the trajectory of the civil rights movement in Texas prisons, my dissertation demonstrates how the internal struggle over rehabilitation and punishment shaped civil rights, racial formation, and the political contest between liberalism and conservatism. This dissertation offers a close case study of Texas, where the state prison system emerged as a national model for penal management. The dissertation begins with a hopeful story of reform marked by an apparently successful effort by the State of Texas to replace its notorious 1940s plantation/prison farm system with an efficient, business-oriented agricultural enterprise system. When this new system was fully operational in the 1960s, Texas garnered plaudits as a pioneering, modern, efficient, and business oriented Sun Belt state. But this reputation of competence and efficiency obfuscated the reality of a brutal system of internal prison management in which inmates acted as guards, employing coercive means to maintain control over the prisoner population. The inmates whom the prison system placed in charge also ran an internal prison economy in which money, food, human beings, reputations, favors, and sex all became commodities to be bought and sold. I analyze both how the Texas prison system managed to maintain its high external reputation for so long in the face of the internal reality and how that reputation collapsed when inmates, inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, revolted. My dissertation shows that this inmate Civil Rights rebellion was a success in forcing an end to the existing system but a failure in its attempts to make conditions in Texas prisons more humane. The new Texas prison regime, I conclude, utilized paramilitary practices, privatized prisons, and gang-related warfare to establish a new system that focused much more on law and order in the prisons than on the legal and human rights of prisoners. Placing the inmates and their struggle at the heart of the national debate over rights and "law and order" politics reveals an inter-racial social justice movement that asked the courts to reconsider how the state punished those who committed a crime while also reminding the public of the inmates' humanity and their constitutional rights.

Post-1945 Danish Piano Trio Literature: A Recording Dissertation

This recording dissertation surveys post-1945 literature written for piano trio (violin, violoncello and piano) by ten Danish composers. The literature was first considered for inclusion by searching a database provided by the Danish Music Information Center (www.mic.dk). Scores were rented from the publisher Edition Wilhelm Hansen AS, or purchased from the publisher Samfundet til Udgivelse af Dansk Musik. An additional score published by Viking Musikforlag was used as well. The music was then studied and evaluated for selection. During the selection process, the following criteria were considered: 1) quality of the compositions; 2) recognition of the composers at the national or international level; 3) whether the compositions had been previously recorded; and 4) variety of compositional styles. The selected works are written by Niels Viggo Bentzon, Vagn Holmboe, Anders Koppel, Herman D. Koppel, Bent Lorentzen, Anders Nordentoft, Per Norgard, Michael Nyvang, Karl Aage Rasmussen, and Poul Rovsing Olsen. The selected compositions were practiced, rehearsed, and performed under direct supervision of the composers and other expert musicians. In order to better understand the compositional style of each composer, relevant books, articles, and recordings were researched and studied. This recording dissertation is supported by a written document. A subjective preference for program balance was exercised to determine the order of recorded works. The written document is divided into chapters defined by composer, following the order of the recorded document, which include the composers' biographies and notes referring to the recorded compositions. The recording took place at the Manzius Gaarden, Birkerod, Denmark during three sessions: July 31-August 2, 2002, March 2 and 3, 2003, and June 2-4, 2003. The music for this dissertation was recorded by the members of the Jalina Trio; Line Fredens, violin, Janne Fredens, cello and Natsuki Fukasawa, piano. Aksel Trige, a well-respected recording engineer, was engaged for the recording and editing. Additionally, a Hamburg Steinway concert grand piano was rented and a Joseph Guarnerius filius Andreas Cremona violin (1706) was provided by the Augustinus Fonden, Denmark. The cellist used her own instrument, Vuillaume of Paris (c. 1850). The expense of this recording was partially paid by generous grants from the Augustinus Fonden, the Solist Foreningen af 1921, and the Dansk Musikerforbunds Kollective Rettighedsmidler. The compositions selected for this recording dissertation are assumed to be previously unrecorded, with the exception of Poul Rovsing Olsen's Trio II.

Implementación de un programa de manejo ambiental para un establecimiento ganadero : Provincia de Entre Ríos

De acuerdo al actual desarrollo de la actividad ganadera en Argentina, se considera imprescindible establecer criterios orientados a la prevención de impactos ambientales perjudiciales que afectan la calidad de vida y la salud de la población. En el ámbito internacional cada vez se hace más hincapié en el desarrollo de las buenas prácticas ganaderas y condiciones de cría y engorde que garanticen el Bienestar animal. La provincia de Entre Ríos por intermedio de la Secretaría de Producción y Medio Ambiente de Paraná, en este nuevo escenario de la actividad ganadera, estableció en la Resolución N° 6491/06 el cumplimiento de requisitos tendientes a normalizar el registro y la habilitación de Establecimientos para Engorde a corral (EPEC), con el propósito de evitar el rediseño o reubicación de los mismos y la costosa remediación de sus impactos ambientales. Para los establecimientos existentes, los organismos de control realizarán una verificación del cumplimiento de dicha Resolución En dicha provincia la Secretaria de Medio Ambiente cuenta con dos Unidades de Gestión Ambiental, la del Río Paraná, que va de sur a norte desde el Río Gualeguay hacia el oeste y la del Río Uruguay que se extiende desde el Río Gualeguay hacia el este, también de sur a norte. En ambas Unidades de Gestión Ambiental existe un área de feedlots o EPEC como lo menciona la Resolución 6491/06. El presente trabajo representa el proceso llevado a cabo en un Establecimiento de la zona de Federal, en adelante el Establecimiento 'En Estudio' para la planificación e implementación de un Programa de Manejo Ambiental como herramienta de control de sus actividades. Para la redacción del Programa de Manejo Ambiental se tomaron en cuenta: 1. Matrices de Impacto Ambiental para cada una de las futuras actividades del Establecimiento 'En Estudio', correspondiente a la Unidad de gestión Ambiental del Río Paraná 2. Los aspectos ambientales de las actividades desarrolladas en los tres Establecimientos de Engorde a corral visitados y ubicados en la Provincia de Entre Ríos, en el área correspondiente a la Unidad de Gestión Ambiental del Río Uruguay
