King Philip\u27s War in Maine

A study was made of the Indian war in Maine, which started in the late summer of 1675 and continued until the spring of 1678. The causes and consequences of the war are presented as they relate to the situation on the Northern colonial frontier (Maine), and as they contrast to the war and social situation in southern New England. The two major campaigns of the war in Maine are examined in detail. Three political questions are discussed as related to the war: (1) the legal control of Maine (2) the support of the war effort by the United Colonies of New England; and (3) the pacification effort of Massachusetts and New York to subdue the Maine Indians. The historiographical significance of the thesis is that it completes the story of King Philip\u27s War started in the doctoral dissertation of Douglas E. Leach at Harvard University. It is also a preliminary inquiry into the issue of French involvement in New England affairs, prior to King William\u27s War, an issue not discussed by Leach

Comparative Microbial Dynamics in Crassostrea virginica and Crassostrea ariakensis

Considerations to introduce the Suminoe or Asian oyster Crassostrea ariakensis along the East Coast have raised many questions regarding ecology, economics, and human health. To date, research has focused primarily on the ecological and socioeconomic implications of this initiative, yet few studies have assessed its potential impact on public health. Our work compares the rates of bioaccumulation, depuration and post harvest decay of indicator organisms (such as E. coli) and Vibrio sp. between Crassostrea virginica and Crassostrea ariakensis in the laboratory. Preliminary results suggest that the rates of bioaccumulation of E. coli in Crassostrea ariakensis were significantly lower than those for Crassostrea virginica, depuration of E. coli was variable between the two species, and Crassostrea ariakensis post harvest decay rates of Vibrio sp. were significantly lower than Crassostrea virginica. This research provides coastal managers with insight into the response of Crassostrea ariakensis to bacteria, an important consideration for determining appropriate management strategies for this species. Further field-based studies will be necessary to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the differences in rates of bioaccumulation and depuration. (PDF contains 40 pages

Comparison of human mammary epithelial cells immortalized by simian virus 40 T-Antigen or by the telomerase catalytic subunit

We directly compared two methods of immortalizing human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs). Cells were transfected with an expression plasmid either for hTERT, the catalytic subunit of telomerase, or for the simian virus 40 (SV40) early region genes. Under standard culture conditions, HMECs were not immortalized by hTERT unless they had spontaneously ceased expression of the p16(INK4a) tumor suppressor gene. Untransfected HMECs had low levels of telomerase expression, and immortalization by both methods was associated with an increase in telomerase activity and prevention of telomere shortening. SV40-induced immortalization was accompanied by aberrant differentiation, loss of DNA damage response, karyotypic instability and, in some cases, tumorigenicity. hTERT-immortalized cells had fewer karyotypic changes, but had intact DNA damage responses, and features of normal differentiation. Although SV40-immortalized cells are useful for studies of carcinogenesis, hTERT-immortalized cells retain more properties of normal cells.NHMR
