The application of capillary electrophoresis to examine protein modifications in baked versus fried tortilla chips
No full textAlthough lipid oxidation is recognized as a major chemical reaction limiting shelf life of foods, its role in degrading food quality and the mechanisms involved remain incompletely elucidated. Interactions of oxidizing lipids with other food molecules have been largely ignored, even though these reactions can have dramatic impact on food properties. Lipid co-oxidation of proteins occurs extensively in nearly all processed foods and degrades textures, flavors, color, and nutritional value. It is important to measure both lipid and protein co-oxidation products to understand the full extent of oxidative deterioration during food storage. This thesis is part of a larger project examining baked and fried tortilla chips to differentiate thermal damage to proteins from lipid co-oxidation during processing and storage. In a previous study, gel electrophoresis revealed modification of protein surfaces that affected dye binding, as well as formation of sizeable protein aggregates too large to enter normal gels involving disulfide, free radical, and other crosslinks. As an alternative to polyacrylamide gels, capillary electrophoresis can separate peptides without molecular weight limits, by modes that may be more sensitive to side chain modifications, and requires only a few nanoliters of sample. Thus, this study investigated the use of capillary electrophoresis for tracking fragmentation and crosslinking in co-oxidized proteins. Results corroborated observations that fried tortilla chip samples had greater changes than baked tortilla chip samples and higher incubation temperature resulted in more protein damage, most notably in fried reducing fractions. In addition, surface modifications altered protein charge, which interfered with migration in capillary electrophoresis. Peptide detection was limited to zeins of about 50 kDa because the sample filtration step intended to prevent capillary blockage also removed higher molecular weight fractions, including glutelins. However, fragmentation products not distinguishable in gel electrophoresis were detected. Overall, results of this study suggest that capillary electrophoresis has intriguing possibilities for supplementing SDS-PAGE and other protein analyses, particularly in verifying the presence of surface modifications. However, significant hurdles—such as reasons for lack of high molecular weight peptide loading and migration—remain to be overcome before capillary electrophoresis can become a primary method for analysis of modified proteins.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Lisa Hayley Schult
Hayley's biography of Dante
No full textWilliam Hayley’s literary relationship with Dante had a central role in the rediscovery of the Italian poet at the turn of the nineteenth century in England. His knowledge of Dante likely dates back to his student years at Trinity Hall in the 1760s, when he learned “to read, write, and speak Italian with fluency” from his master Agostino Isola, “an elderly, ingenious and distressed Italian” who taught in Cambridge. Hayley invoked Dante in The Triumphs of Temper (1781) and An Essay on Epic Poetry (1782) and was one of the earliest to attempt rendering the Commedia from the original terza rima, offering the most extended English version available in print at the time. The translation was first published in his notes to An Essay on Epic Poetry and encompassed the first three cantos of Inferno. Contemporary writers’ views on his Dante translation, particularly those expressed by Anna Seward and Horace Walpole, are significant. Seward had little admiration for “the fire and smoke poet” and Walpole was notorious for his hostility to Dante. However, they greatly admired Hayley’s version, even more so than Boyd’s. In a letter to Helen Williams, Seward confesses that “after reading and comparing it with Mr. Hayley’s sublime English version of the three first cantos, we cannot place great confidence in Boyd’s justice to his author” (25 August 1785). Boyd himself praised Hayley’s translation and highlighted that in his edition “many biographical particulars of Dante, are taken from Mr. Hayley’s Notes to his Essay on Epic Poetry.” But Hayley’s An Essay on Epic Poetry, apart from his acclaimed translation of the Commedia, includes other noteworthy parts such as his translations of sonnets by Dante, Petrarch, and Camõens and a series of European poets’ biographies, including those of Dante, Boccaccio, and Tasso. In his sketch of Dante’s life, Hayley emphasizes “the lighter graces of sprightly composition,” going beyond the common perception of Dante as a poet “inclined to melancholy.” Hayley’s notes raise questions about the readership of Italian poetry at the time, particularly in what way poets such as Dante were introduced to the English reader, and how the inclusion of Dante’s biography in An Essay might have contributed to the reception of his verse-in-translation. This chapter revolves around the exploration of these concerns in order to contextualize Hayley as a prominent figure who, besides his important connections to Blake and Romney, crucially contributed to literary and artistic negotiations across borders.</p
Impacts of deforestation on mosquito community dynamics
No full textHuman-induced land use changes, including deforestation, agricultural encroachment and urbanisation, have caused widespread change in the global distribution of organisms and caused considerable declines in biodiversity through loss of habitat. Oil palm is one of the most rapidly expanding crops in Southeast Asia, but the impact of this crop on mosquito distribution, behaviour and exposure potential has been poorly explored. Understanding these factors is essential for developing, optimising and evaluating novel control measures aimed at reducing disease-transmission. This thesis explored the effect of land use change along an anthropogenic disturbance gradient (primary forest, disturbed forest, highly disturbed forest, oil palm plantations and rural housing estates) in Sabah, Malaysia. The community composition of anthropogenic mosquitoes was separated across land use, with the biggest difference seen between primary forest and oil palm plantations. This was largely driven by medically important mosquitoes attracted to oil palm plantations. Differences in community composition were also seen in areas of rural housing in comparison to primary and disturbed forest sites, due to a high presence of the dengue vector, Stegomyia albopicta, in housing areas. A higher abundance of anopheline vectors were found landing on humans in the disturbed forest and oil palm plantations then primary forest. This thesis found no difference between highly disturbed forest and oil palm plantation sites. This thesis also investigated the host-seeking behaviour of simian malaria vectors, by carrying out human landing catches at ground and canopy level across land use. Results demonstrated the potential ability of one of the vectors, Anopheles balabacensis, to transmit the simian malaria (Plasmodium knowlesi) between canopy-dwelling simian hosts and ground-dwelling humans, and that anthropogenic disturbance increases the abundance of the disease vector. Finally, this thesis investigated the use of different marking methods and the need for an improved dispersal experiment to be carried out.Open Acces

This monograph presents selected performance works made between 1994 and 2001. Actual and fictional performance works are published alongside each other. The book includes Research Output 1 - Connotations Performance Images 1994-1998 (1998).
In his introduction, Aaron Williamson writes that by titling the book Performancemania the author reveals herself as; ‘a long standing enthusiast, or fan, of what she considers to be a genuinely revolutionary moment in art, namely European performance art of the 60s and 70s’. This theme of fandom continues throughout the publication, which is reflexive, visibly modelling itself on the traditional artist’s monograph.
The latter half of the book contains an edited version of a self-interview, extracted from my unpublished doctoral thesis; Locating Performance: Textual Identity and the Performative (University of Leeds, 2001). The self-interview identifies itself as a performance and points to ‘the interview’ as a structure with both a temporal and physical location beyond the page.
The book presents 24 actual performance works alongside 21 fictional ones. Works are presented as images with accompanying texts. Fictional works are embedded in the book, distinguished by the colour of the page and an inverse positioning of image and text.
I am currently represented by Matt’s Gallery. However, this book was published before representation was agreed.

Author: Hayley Lind, B.S. Fashion Industry Management, Philadelphia University, M.A. CUNY Graduate School of Journalism
Abstract:
Fashion counterfeiting takes away more than 750 million jobs and more than 880 jacket by Japanese brand, Sacai, and replicated it by repurposing a denim jacket and replacing the sleeves with polyester fabric. I then went shopping at Bergdorf Goodman to see if I could get service. The goal was to see if craft could replace couture.
