The Effects Of The Broiled Industry On The Agriculture Economics Of Cherokee County, Texas

More than one hundred twenty-five years ago, Robert- Malthus, the noted economist, predicted that gradually the increases in population would outstrip man\u27s ability to provide subsistence for this population increase. Though Malthus\u27s theory might someday prove correct, it will certainly not be because of lack of agricultural experimentation and research. The story of the fight for survival in a modern culture closely parallels the story of the progress being made in agriculture and agricultural economics. In all fields of endeavor, men constantly strive to improve their lots, and the field of agriculture is no exception. From the date of the establishment of the first College of Agriculture in Michigan, February 1855, research and experimentation have been geared to improved methods in agriculture, increased yields, and certainly to increased profits in all phases of farming and farm products. There appears to have been no special emphasis placed on poultry husbandry, though Botsford reports that good advice in the field has been written as early as one hundred years ago. According to Botsford, poultry appears to be the oldest of all livestock, with specialized poultry breeding having begun 2000 years ago, in Italy, principally to meet the demand for food supplies when Rome was mistress of the world. Botsford further points out that it was not until 1891-92 that the first college instruction in poultry husbandry was offered with James E. Rice of Carnell University as teacher. On the other hand, it was not until 1901, at Connecticut Agricultural College, that the first department of poultry husbandry was established

Development of Electronic Data Processing /EDP/ augmented management system

To tailor the existing Unified Flight Analysis System to management data rather than technical data, a pilot model could be produced in breadboard form, using electronic data processing, in a matter of a few months at very moderate cost. Such a system lends itself to continuous refinement

Non-Invertible Symmetries, Brane Dynamics, and Tachyon Condensation

We study the Symmetry Topological Field Theory in holography associated with 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ Super Yang-Mills theory with gauge algebra $\mathfrak{su}(M)$. From this, all the bulk symmetry operators are computed and matched to various D-brane configurations. The fusion algebra of the operators emerges from brane dynamics. In particular, we show that the symmetry operators are purely determined from the center-of-mass modes of the branes. We identify the TQFT fusion coefficients with the relative motion of the branes. We also establish the origin of condensation defects, arising from fusion of non-invertible operators, as the consequence of tachyon condensation in brane-anti-brane pairs.Comment: 39 pages plus appendice

Student Independent Projects Psychology 2017: The Developmental Role of Attachment in Anxiety and Depression

The current literature review examines how attachment styles affect the development of anxiety and depression in childhood through to young adulthood. First, attachment theory proposed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth is discussed, which explains how attachment types are developed through infant-caregiver relationships. The differing roles of maternal and paternal caregivers in the attachment relationship are also considered. Discussion in terms of anxiety in relationship to attachment is first addressed with separation anxiety in infancy, and continues to discuss how attachment styles relate to anxiety and depression throughout childhood and adolescence as well as into early adulthood. This review then turns to a newer, different attachment-anxiety/depression relationship between humans and pets and how this relationship may be similar to that of human-human relationships. Lastly, some potential mediators that may help explain the relationship between attachment and anxiety and depression are discussed. Overall, the literature concludes that insecure attachment is related to higher levels of both anxiety and depression than secure attachments from childhood to early adulthood and across different relationships

The isolation and characterization of troponin T from the slow and fast myotomal muscles of Atlantic salmon

1. Subunits of troponin (Tn) were isolated and characterized from the fast and slow swimming muscles of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Troponin C (TnC) from both slow and fast muscle was determined, by electrophoretic analysis to be present as single and distinct isoforms. Three isoforms of fast troponin T (TnT 1F, 2F and 3F) and two from slow muscle (TnT 1S and 2S) were detected. These proteins were determined to be TnT by the following criteria: copurification with whole Tn, SDS PAGE, amino acid composition, partial protein sequence data, immunoreaction with an anti-TnT antibody and affinity chromatography with immobilized tropomyosin (TM). The TnTs were specific to the corresponding muscle type. -- 2. All TnTs, with the exception of TnT 1F were N-terminally blocked. Partial protein sequence data was obtained for all of the isoforms. The various isoforms of TnT possess similar amino acid compositions with the exception of their proline contents. The higher molecular weight isoforms (TnT 1F and 1S) contain higher amounts of proline than the lower molecular weight forms (TnT 2F, 3F and 2S). All TnTs contain one tryptophan, with the exception of TnT 1S which contains two. None of the isoforms contain cysteine. TnT 2F and 3F contained phospho-serine while TnT 1F, 1S and 2S did not. -- 3. A full length TnT clone was isolated from a brown trout (Salmo trutta) slow muscle cDNA library and sequenced. The clone is believed to correspond to TnT 1S based on identity (94-112) with protein sequence data derived from a CNBr fragment of TnT 1S and similar amino acid composition data. The nucleotide sequence encodes 278 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 32362 and a negative charge at neutral pH. The N-terminal region is highly acidic (26 acidic residues occur in the first 55 amino acids). In addition, all of the 13 proline residues are located within the first 73 amino acids. The central part of the molecule contains a large number of charged residues, while the C-terminus is positively charged. -- 4. During exploratory sequencing of the slow cDNA library, a full length clone corresponding to actin was isolated and sequenced. Comparative sequence analyses revealed that this clone encodes a striated muscle class II α-actin. The nucleotide sequence encodes 377 residues with an acidic pI and a predicted molecular mass of 41852

Bio‐Orthogonal Polymer Coatings for Co‐Presentation of Biomolecules

Controlled presentation of biomolecules on synthetic substrates is an important aspect for biomaterials development. If the immobilization of multiple biomolecules is required, highly efficient orthogonal surface chemistries are needed to ensure the precision of the immobilization. In this communication, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) copolymerization is used to fabricate polymer coatings with controlled ratio of alkyne and pentafluorophenyl ester (Pfp‐ester) groups. Cyclic argine‐glycine‐aspartic acid (cRGD) adhesion peptide and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are immobilized through alkyne–azide cycloaddtion (“click” chemistry) and active ester–amine reaction, respectively. Cell studies with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and A431 cell lines demonstrate the biological activity of the coimmobilized biomolecules. Polymer coatings with bio‐orthogonal functional groups are developed for co‐immobilization of adhesion peptide and growth factor. The coatings are generated by chemical vapor deposition polymerization, with both alkyne and pentafluorophenyl ester which are used to covalently tether the biomolecules. The biological activity of the co‐immobilized biomolecules is demonstrated.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/91189/1/marc_201100819_sm_suppl.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/91189/2/640_ftp.pd

Expression and Regulation of Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases in Human and Rat Pancreatic Islets

As shown by transgenic mouse models and by using phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitors, PDE3B has an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. However, very little is known about the regulation of the enzyme. Here, we show that PDE3B is activated in response to high glucose, insulin and cAMP elevation in rat pancreatic islets and INS-1 (832/13) cells. Activation by glucose was not affected by the presence of diazoxide. PDE3B activation was coupled to an increase as well as a decrease in total phosphorylation of the enzyme. In addition to PDE3B, several other PDEs were detected in human pancreatic islets: PDE1, PDE3, PDE4C, PDE7A, PDE8A and PDE10A. We conclude that PDE3B is activated in response to agents relevant for β-cell function and that activation is linked to increased as well as decreased phosphorylation of the enzyme. Moreover, we conclude that several PDEs are present in human pancreatic islets

In Search of a Trade Mark: Search Practices and Bureaucratic Poetics

Trade marks have been understood as quintessential ‘bureaucratic properties’. This article suggests that the making of trade marks has been historically influenced by bureaucratic practices of search and classification, which in turn were affected by the possibilities and limits of spatial organisation and technological means of access and storage. It shows how the organisation of access and retrieval did not only condition the possibility of conceiving new trade marks, but also served to delineate their intangible proprietary boundaries. Thereby they framed the very meaning of a trade mark. By advancing a historical analysis that is sensitive to shifts, both in actual materiality and in the administrative routines of trade mark law, the article highlights the legal form of trade mark as inherently social and materially shaped. We propose a historical understanding of trade mark law that regards legal practice and bureaucratic routines as being co-constitutive of the very legal object itself
