Environmental influences over the last 16 ka on compound-specific δ13C variations of leaf wax n-alkanes in the Hani peat deposit from northeast China
No full textCompound-specific carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) of leaf wax n-alkanes (C21-C33 odd carbon numbered n-alkanes) were measured in the Hani peat sequence from northeast China. These data were compared with lipid biomarker compositions to assess changes in local vegetation and paleoclimate for the last 16 ka The δ13C values of n-alkanes range between -36.6 and -30.7‰, showing that the compounds originate from C3 plants. Much larger variations (∼5.4‰) in the n-alkane δ13C values than those of atmospheric CO2 during the last 16 ka (< 0.5‰) indicate that the isotopic values were affected by environmental factors in addition to the postglacial δ13C variations in the atmospheric reservoir. The stratigraphic records of δ13C reveal decoupled fluctuations among the individual n-alkanes, particularly between 15.5 to 11.4 ka. Synchronous excursions in the δ13C offsets among individual n-alkanes (Δδ13C) and lipid biomarker paleoplant proxies (Paq, and C23/C31 and C27/C31) from 14.9 to 13.2 ka and 12.7 to 11.6 ka suggest that vegetational changes are the most likely causes for the decoupled δ13C variations. Parallel fluctuations of the δ13C values of terrestrial higher plant-derived C29 and C31 n-alkanes and the n-alkane average chain-length (ACL) from 11 to 6 ka indicate that the δ13C variations responded to net evaporation changes. Negative shifts in the n-alkane δ13C values coinciding with the ACL decreases at 10.5-9.3 ka and 8.1 ka indicate the short-term onset and fluctuations of the summer monsoon strength in eastern China during the early Holocene

NRF2 and chemoprevention: signaling, epigenetics and role in intestinal carcinogensis
No full textPrevention is better than cure. The carcinogenesis could take as long as 20 to 30 years to develop from initiated cells to malignant tumor, therefore providing us various opportunities to prevent the appearance of tumors with the use of chemopreventive compounds in the early stage. Chemoprevention becomes an increasing important concept and has led to the intense research about the mechanisms of actions of various chemopreventive compounds. They can be generally classified into blocking agents and suppressing agents. The chemopreventive compounds usually prevent or slow progression of cancer by maintaining a low oxidative stress and inflammatory environment in cells. This is brought about by the activation of Nrf2, the key protein being investigated in our lab. In this dissertation, I will be discussing the use of compounds as suppressing agents and blocking agents, how compounds activates Nrf2 signaling, how novel Nrf2 interaction partner IQGAP1 mediates Nrf2-Keap1 signaling axis, how expression level of Nrf2 could be regulated epigenetically, apart from the well-known post-translational control by Keap1-Ubiquitinase-Protesome axis and finally how loss of Nrf2 could enhance intestinal tumorigenesis in Apc(min/+) mice.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Ka Lung Cheun
Nearby fibroblasts' response to multiple acupuncture needle revolutions on fibroblast populated collagen gels
No full textAcupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice, and an alternative therapy for alleviating pain and chronic disorders. For over twenty years, research is trying to understand the mechanisms that lead to its therapeutic effect. Our laboratory investigates the cellular and molecular events in the connective tissue that occur by acupuncture needling. An in vitro assay was developed to evaluate some of the potential contributors to acupuncture’s effects using a cellular collagen gel as a loose connective tissue mimic. It was hypothesized besides immediate changes to cells under mechanical loading from an acupuncture needle, there were chemical factors released to nearby cells in acupuncture. This thesis investigates whether mechanically stimulating collagen gels with fibroblasts at different revolutions would release chemical factors to nearby fibroblasts where flow cytometry was used to observe cell proliferation as an indicator. Results reveal mechanically stimulating cellular collagen gels at different revolutions does not cause any changes in cell proliferation to nearby cells. However, dead stained mechanically stimulated cellular collagen gels showed cell death occurs around the acupuncture needle. It is possible there were no effects in cell proliferation because when a cellular collagen gel was needle manipulated, some chemical factors were released into the nearby cells. Then as needle manipulation increased, more chemical factors were released, but restricted by the larger amount of cell death around the needle from the increasing rotation.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Ka Po Ch

Akurasi perhituangan Arah Kiblat Pulau Lombok berdasarkan Hisab Tgh. Ibrahim al-khalidy kediri
No full textThis paper describes how Tgh. Ibrahim al-Kahidiy Kediri West Lombok West Nusa Tenggara in determining the Qibla direction, especially on the island of Lombok, which is Tgh. Ibrahim al-Khlidiy Kediri West Lombok West Nusa Tenggara in the field of fiqh studied with famous hijaz scholars and especially in the field of astronomy studied with Sheikh Khalifah Bin Nibhan al Falaky (1270-1355) one of the great scholars in astronomy at his time, hence Tgh. Ibrahim al-Khlidiy Kediri and the results of his astrological calculations, especially in determining the Qibla direction, became a reference for his students in determining the Qibla direction for mosques, prayer rooms in Lombok, even though at this time various modern applications have mushroomed that offer Qibla direction with scientific methods and formulas but classical calculations using the rubu\u27 mujayyab tool which is a tradition of Islamic boarding schools is not far from high accuracy and precision, it turns out that the results of calculating the Qibla direction of Tgh. Ibrahim al-Kahlidiyah Kediri for the island of Lombok: 22.3/4 ( 22.45) proved to be in accordance with the line stretched from the top of the Ka\u27bah to the position of the mosque where the Qibla direction was measured using this data
قصيدة البردة لكعب بن زهير ومكانتها ﻓﻲ التراث الصوﻓﻲ / The Impact of the Ode al-Burda on the Sufi Tradition
No full text[The famous poem Bānat Su\u27ād known as al-Burda (The Mantle) by Ka\u27b ibn Zuhayr - which won the poet the admiration of the Prophet Muhammad and his mantle as a gift - has had a considerable impact on sufism. This article explores its impact on Sufi hermeneutics, by a close reading of their commentaries and interpretations of the poem, as well as through an analysis of Sufi literary imitations (mu\u27āraḍāt) of the poem. Using manuscripts and published texts, the author demonstrates the Sufi interpretive techniques and their mode of transforming the significance of poetic imagery into mystic symbols. The author of the article offers a reading of the poem in the light of the poet\u27s canon to show the elements of divergence between a critical reading and a mystic reading of the poem. The literary imitations of al-Burda are shown to integrate systematically within them mystic notions about the Prophet through reference and allusion.
