Reactions of Pyridoxine
No full textTitle: Reactions of Pyridoxine, Author: Frederick J. Rowell, Location: ThodeThe chemistry of pyridoxine has been critically
examined with a view to obtaining new intermediates suitable for
the systematic degradation of the molecule. Use has been made of
three new degradation schemes arising from this work to isolate
atoms C-2 , C-2 ', C- 4, C- 4' and C-5' of radioactive pyridoxine
obtained from feeding experimen ts . · The biosynthesis of pyridoxine
is discussed in the light of the degradation results which demonstrate
that pyridoxine is derived from three molecules of glycerol.ThesisMaster of Science (MS

Springfield College Gymnastic Legacy chart, by A.B. Frederick (Sept. 20, 1991)
No full textThe Springfield's Gymnastic Legacy chart prepared by A. B. Frederick, curator of the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame. The Chart is 77" x 8 1/2". It is printed on folded printer paper. It is signed by the author A.B. Frederick and signed. The chart uses information & from A.B. Frederick's book "Roots of American Gymnastics." This is not a direct representation of the charts in the various additions of the book "Roots of American Gymnastics" - a version of the list, with corrections and additions, can be seen on page 20 and 21 of the 1996 publication. The chart is a genealogical representation of coaches and outstanding gymnasts who have been associated with Springfield College and their history or contributions to the gymnastics, as well as those they have influenced. Honorees of the American National Gymnastics Hall of Fame are found on the charts along with the primary reasons for their election. At the top of the chart is Leslie Judd, the director and founder of the exhibition team at Springfield College. Judd was appointed as the first gymnastic coach and director at Springfield College in 1921. To the left of Judd are the people were were associated with early gymnastics programs at Springfield College before Judd was appointed as coach and director. These people include Henry Kallenberg, Amos Alonzo Stagg, James Naismith, Luther Gulick, and Louis C. Schroeder. Under Judd, stems all the major influencers of gymnastics that he trained. These people include Rene Kern, Charles Graves, Fred Zitta, Ted Steeves, Shotzbarger, Lyle Welser, Wilber West, Ralph Piper, Ray Heidloff, Hartly D'Oyley Price, Tom Dunkley, Walter Ersing, Erik Kjeldsen, Richard Aronson, Tom DeCarlo, and Frank Wolcott. The far right has the most recent history at the time that it was created, including some of the Women's history, including Diane Potter, Mimi Murrary, and Olympian Kathy Corrigan. Not represented is 35 year Women's Head Coach, Cheryl Raymond.Note: the image has been created using multiple photographs that have been pieced together and doctored using Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom; This is not a direct representation of the charts in the book "Roots of American Gymnastics"
Effects of supplemental vitamins E and C on the immune responses of calves
No full textTwo experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of oral supplementation of vitamin C and vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), alone and in combination, on immune responses of calves. In Experiment 1, 18 Holstein newborn female calves were supplemented with 0, 1, and 2 g/d of vitamin C from birth to 6 wk of age. Concentrations of ascorbic acid in blood plasma were significantly higher for supplemented calves than for control calves. No significant differences among treatments occurred in the concentrations of IgG1, IgG2, and titer to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. In Experiment 2, effects of oral supplementation of vitamins E and C on immune responses were studied using 18 Holstein female calves. Concentrations of alpha-tocopherol in blood plasma were significantly higher for supplemented than for control calves. The concentrations increased from birth to wk 1, and then very little change occurred from wk 1 to 6. Differences among treatments in the concentrations of IgG1, IgG2, IgM, and titer to keyhole limpet hemocyanin were not significant; however, concentrations of IgM in calves supplemented with vitamins E and C generally tended to be higher than those of control calves. Antibodies to keyhole limpet hemocyanin were higher at 6 wk than at 4 wk of age.LR: 20031114; PUBM: Print; JID: 2985126R; 0 (Antibodies); 0 (Antigens); 0 (Immunoglobulin G); 0 (Immunoglobulin M); 0 (keyhole-limpet hemocyanin); 1406-18-4 (Vitamin E); 50-81-7 (Ascorbic Acid); 9013-72-3 (Hemocyanin); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1
Finding antichrist: apocalypticism in nineteenth‐century Catholic England and the writings of Frederick Faber
No full textThe article discusses the apocalyptic beliefs of the nineteenth-century English Oratorian and devotional writer, Frederick Faber, though initially providing a context among earlier and contemporary English Catholic apocalyptic writers. It proceeds, by means of a consideration of Faber's conscious de-secularisation of language, to give an account of his identification of the elements of a transvalued contemporary popular concept of modernity as the signs of apocalyptic crisis. The article as a whole is intended to provide an aid to the perception and understanding of a pervasive apocalypticism in nineteenth-century English-speaking Catholicism. © 2012 The Author
The use of biotin-labeled cDNA probes for the detection of infectious bursal disease viruses
No full textA cDNA library was prepared from the double-stranded RNA genome of the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) strain ST-C. The cDNA molecules were annealed into the plasmid pUC9 and used to transform Escherichia coli strain JM107. A cDNA clone that contained IBDV-specific nucleotide sequences was selected and designated STC-1. Radiolabeled probes were prepared from STC-1 and hybridized to genome segment A of ST-C in a northern blot hybridization assay. The STC-1 cDNA was 448 base pairs in length, and its nucleotide sequence indicated that it is located near the VP-2/VP-4 junction in IBDV genome segment A. Biotin-labeled probes were prepared from STC-1 and used in a dot-blot hybridization assay to detect IBDV. Under relatively low stringency conditions of hybridization, the biotinylated probes detected four subtypes of IBDV serotype 1 and a serotype 2 IBDV isolate.LR: 20061115; PUBM: Print; JID: 0370617; 0 (DNA Probes); 0 (DNA, Viral); 0 (RNA, Double-Stranded); 0 (RNA, Viral); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1
Infrared Observations of Oxidized Carbon in Comet C/2002 T7 (LINEAR)
No full textDegree awarded: Ph.D. Physics. The Catholic University of AmericaCometary nuclei are generally recognized as the most primitive remnants of the early Solar System. Their physical and chemical attributes allow a glimpse into the conditions under which icy bodies formed. Parent volatiles in comets are now routinely studied, and a significant diversity in composition among the comets sampled to date has been demonstrated. This forms the foundation of an emerging cometary taxonomy based on chemical composition. In spring 2004, comet C/2002 T7 (LINEAR) was observed using the facility echelle spectrometer (CSHELL) at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. CSHELL offers seeing-limited spatial resolution and sufficiently high spectral resolving power (R = λ /δλ ~ 2.5 x 104) to permit line-by-line intensities to be measured along its 30 arc-second slit. Its small pixels favor measurement of molecules released from ices housed in cometary nuclei ("native" ices) over those released from spatially extended sources in the coma. Emission lines from multiple molecular species were targeted in the 3 to 5 µm wavelength region. The observations revealed an extremely rich volatile chemistry in C/2002 T7 (LINEAR). I present the chemical composition of oxidized carbon in C/2002 T7 (LINEAR). Carbon monoxide (CO), formaldehyde (H2CO), and methyl alcohol (CH3OH) were detected simultaneously or nearly simultaneously with H2O on multiple UT dates spanning 2004 May 3-9 (heliocentric distance Rh = 0.66 - 0.71 AU) and May 30 - June 2 (Rh = 0.99 - 1.03 AU). I will discuss native production rates, rotational temperatures, and mixing ratios (abundances relative to H2O) for oxidized carbon. My results illustrate that C/2002 T7 (LINEAR) is enriched in CH3OH, while CO is borderline depleted compared to other Oort cloud comets that have been measured. I tested for chemical heterogeneity in C/2002 T7 (LINEAR), both diurnal, presumably associated with rotation of the nucleus, and serial (i.e., over a range in Rh). However, no evidence was seen for either short term or long term changes in the mixing ratios of CO, H2CO, or CH3OH, suggesting a homogeneous composition that did not vary with location on or depth in the nucleus. The gas production rates of C/2002 T7(LINEAR) did however reveal short term variability having a rotational period of 2.32 days. This periodicity is consistent with an elongated nucleus having uniform activity per unit surface area, or alternatively with a more nearly spherical nucleus having distinct active regions, or some combination of these. This represents the first measure of a rotational light curve in a comet based on multiple parent volatiles.Made available in DSpace on 2012-04-02T15:43:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1

A simple method for screening bacterial colonies for mutagenized sites in plasmid DNA
No full textBecause of the multiple-step process that is involved in the detection of mutagenized restriction enzyme sites in plasmid DNA, a simple and accurate method was developed to analyse the plasmid DNA of site-directed mutagenesis experiments from bacterial colonies. The desired mutated part is located between the Eco RI restriction site on pUC19. Two mutagenic primers were designed to replace only one nucleotide on segments A and B of the bi-segmented genome of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Two restriction sites were created for those mutations in each segment, Fsp I and Dra I, respectively. Following a protocol from the site-directed mutagenesis kit, the mutated plasmids were used to transform, and were propagated and maintained in DH5 alpha competent cells. Colonies were picked from the master plate, and used as DNA template for PCR. The PCR technique included the design of two pairs of primers, one for each segment, which were to amplify a region up to 1000 bp. Samples were pre-incubated for 3 min at 94 degrees C to induce bacterial lysis before starting the nucleic acid amplification. The PCR products 918 bp from segment A and 650 bp from segment B were digested with Fsp I and Dra I at 37 degrees C for 1 h. Products were resolved on 0.9% agarose gel which contained ethidium bromide. This method is simpler, faster and more accurate than the traditional method of mini-prep plasmid isolation and colony blot hybridization to identify the mutated plasmids
