An Immigrant Defends America
No full textMany people in the United States feel hopeless about their future, arguing that capitalism, police brutality, and racism prevent them from reaching their goals. Some even suggest that the American Dream is a lie and that the game is rigged against African-Americans, in particular. Jason D. Hill challenges this skepticism. He argues that success is a personal choice and that the vast numbers of upwardly-mobile immigrants are all the proof one needs of boundless American potential. He also takes issue with Ta-Nehisi Coates and writers like him, claiming that their fame and wealth undermine their own charges of victimization.
Jason D. Hill is a Professor of Philosophy, member of the Honors Distinguished Faculty, and Director of Teaching Practicum at DePaul University. He is the author of four books, the most recent of which is the soon-to-be-released We Have Overcome: An Immigrant’s Letter to the American People, available for pre-order on Amazon.com

Patterns of interphalangeal hand joint involvement of osteoarthritis among men and women: a British cohort study
No full textObjective: To characterize the pattern of involvement of osteoarthritis (OA) of the hand among men and women of the same age.Methods: Structured hand examinations were performed on 1,467 men and 1,519 women who were age 53 years and born in England, Scotland, or Wales during the first week of March 1946 (identified through the United Kingdom National Survey of Health and Development). OA at each joint site was characterized using a previously validated examination schedule. The interrelationship of involvement of different hand joints was analyzed by logistic regression and cluster analyses.Results: There was clear evidence of polyarticular involvement in the hand joints of both the men and the women. Among the women, 161 subjects had 4 joints involved, compared with only 41 subjects expected in this category (P < 0.001). Among the men, 87 subjects were observed to have 4 joints involved, in contrast with only 7 subjects expected (P < 0.001). The pattern of hand joint involvement (characterized by clustering primarily by row and symmetric joint involvement, rather than clustering by ray) was found to be almost identical between the men and the women.Conclusion: This study confirms the existence of a polyarticular subset of OA among men that has characteristics similar to those of the variant observed among women. The data suggest that the genetic or metabolic influences underlying this particular variant of OA acts similarly in both sexes
DNA fusion gene vaccination mobilizes effective anti-leukemic cytotoxic T lymphocytes from a tolerized repertoire
No full textThe majority of known human tumor-associated antigens derive from non-mutated self proteins. T cell tolerance, essential to prevent autoimmunity, must therefore be cautiously circumvented to generate cytotoxic T cell responses against these targets. Our strategy uses DNA fusion vaccines to activate high levels of peptide-specific CTL. Key foreign sequences from tetanus toxin activate tolerance-breaking CD4+ T cell help. Candidate MHC class Ibinding tumor peptide sequences are fused to the C terminus for optimal processing and presentation. To model performance against a leukemia-associated antigen in a tolerized setting, we constructed a fusion vaccine encoding an immunodominant CTL epitopederived from Friend murine leukemia virus gag protein (FMuLVgag) and vaccinated tolerant FMuLVgag-transgenic (gag-Tg) mice. Vaccination with the construct induced epitopespecificIFN-c-producing CD8+ T cells in normal and gag-Tg mice. The frequency and avidity of activated cells were reduced in gag-Tg mice, and no autoimmune injury resulted. However, these CD8+ T cells did exhibit gag-specific cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Also, epitope-specific CTL killed FBL-3 leukemia cells expressing endogenous FMuLVgag antigen and protected against leukemia challenge in vivo. These results demonstrate a simple strategy to engage anti-microbial T cell help to activate epitope-specific polyclonal CD8+ T cell responses from a residual tolerized repertoire

No full textChapter 4 of Library Technology Reports (53, no. 5), "3-D Printers for Libraries, 2017 Edition"Chapter 4 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 53, no. 5), “3-D Printers for Libraries, 2017 Edition,” lists and discusses the 3-D printer companies and products that author Jason Griffey thinks are most effective and efficient for library use as well as a few experimental models that might bear watching in the future. The criteria used for evaluation include popularity, ease of use, support, and the degree to which the company espouses library values of openness and information access. The attempt will be made to provide buying advice for libraries, taking into account the possible differences in use cases that libraries may have
Where in the Wild?
No full textJason Mark is the author of 'Satellites in the High Country." Searching for the Wild in the Age of Man an d the editor in chief of SIERRA, the national magazine of the Sierra Club. His writings on the environment have also appeared n the New Yrok Times, The Nation. TheAtlantic.com and Salon.com, among many other publications. He is a co-founder of Alemany Farm, an urban farm in San Francisco.Lecture delivered at Humboldt State University on October 27, 2016 by Jason Mark. Part of the Sustainable futures speaker series sponsored by the Schatz Energy Research Center and the Environment and Community Program. In the 21st century, on the verge of what some are calling the Anthropocene, is there any place that's still really, truly wild? And, if so, how can we hold onto wildness as a touchstone for our relationship with the rest of nature? In this lecture, Jason will share some thoughts from his 2015 book, 'Satellites in the High Country', and will explore the meaning of wilderness today
