Use of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for the Diagnosis of Failure of Transfer of Passive Immunity and Measurement of Immunoglobulin Concentrations in Horses
No full textBackground: The economic, accurate, and rapid screening of foals for failure of transfer of passive immunity (FPT) is essential to ensure timely intervention. Hypothesis: Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of foal sera and pattern recognition may be used to diagnose FPT and quantify serum IgG. Samples: Sera from 194 foals (24–72 hours) with serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations determined previously by radial immunodiffusion assay (RID) were used. Methods: IR spectra were recorded for the serum samples, and the data were randomly divided into training and independent test sets, each containing both FPT-positive (IgG <400 mg/dL) and non-FPT samples. A genetic optimal region selection algorithm and linear discriminant analysis were used to partition the training spectra, and the resulting classifier was then validated by comparing the IR-predicted FPT status for each of the test samples to that provided by the RID IgG assay. A quantitative IR-based assay for IgG was developed using partial least squares (PLS) and validated by testing its ability to predict IgG concentrations. Results: Specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy for the combined data were 92.5, 96.8, and 95.9%, respectively. Corresponding positive (88.1%) and negative predictive (98.0%) values determined a success rate of 95–97% as compared to RID-based IgG concentrations. The IR-based quantitative assay yielded correlation coefficients for IR spectroscopy versus RID-based IgG concentrations of 0.90 and 0.86 for the training and test sets, respectively. Conclusions and Clinical Importance: The overall performance of the IR-based test was similar to that of the colorimetric assay and was superior and more economic than other available tests.Christopher B.

R. E. Riley
No full textLocksmith R. E. Riley at home. Locksmith Riley notices that these are challenging times. He\u27s gone out of business and got himself a job at Consolidated. His home phones still ring, but he\u27s trying to get all his customers to be careful and not lose their keys for the duration. Mr. Riley is sitting at a table in what appears to be his kitchen or dining room. He is holding the handset of a rotary dial telephone that is mounted on his wall, along with a full teacup and saucer. What appears to be a sugar bowl is lying on the table near his elbow, which is also resting on the table, along with a metal-finished toaster. Mr. Riley is wearing a short-sleeved button down shirt, a wedding band, and a pin that says 33. His hair is slicked back. He smiles and looks into the camera, appearing to be mid-conversation with someone on the telephones. Behind him is a wall covered with a recurring country motif, a paper towel dispenser, and a painting of what appears to be a Wire Fox Terrier chasing butterflies. Sheer gingham check curtains and a set of blinds are hanging in the windows. A geometric floral pattern tablecloth is covering the table.https://mavmatrix.uta.edu/specialcollections_startelegram1940s/15117/thumbnail.jp
Chief Justice Angela R. Riley and Professor Suzette Malveaux in Conversation at the Eleventh Annual John Paul Stevens Lecture: The Third Sovereign: Tribal Courts and Indian Country Justice
No full textThe Byron R. White Center for the Study of American Constitutional Law at the University of Colorado-Boulder’s Law School is a premier research and programming institution aiming to facilitate informed and engaged scholarship and dialogue on constitutional law. As part of this effort, it hosts the annual John Paul Stevens Lecture, named after the U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stevens, who delivered the inaugural lecture in September 2011. This fireside chat brings distinguished jurists from around the country (and even world) to Colorado Law to discuss the state of the judiciary, democracy and current constitutional issues. The esteemed lecture attracts students, lawyers, scholars and community members to Colorado Law to hear about the jurist’s approach to some of the most important legal issues of the day.
The eleventh annual lecture, on October 18, 2022, was hosted in partnership with Colorado Law’s American-Indian Law Program. This program provides students with robust opportunities to study and gain practical experience in American Indian law. Together with the White Center, it chose Professor and Chief Justice Angela R. Riley to deliver the Stevens Lecture. Chief Justice Riley joins the ranks of other esteemed jurists who have given the Stevens Lecture, including; six former United States Supreme Court justices, U.S. federal circuit court judges, state supreme court justices and appellate court judges, and a former justice on South Africa’s Constitutional Court. Chief Justice Riley is the first Tribal Court Justice, first member of a federally-recognized tribe, and first American Indian woman to deliver the lecture. This bestowed honor formally recognizes the substantial role, and necessity, of federal Indian law in American constitutional and civil rights legal jurisprudence
Ackermannian Integer Compression and the Word Problem for Hydra Groups
No full textFor a finitely presented group, the word problem asks for an algorithm which declares whether or not words on the generators represent the identity. The Dehn function is a complexity measure of a direct attack on the word problem by applying the defining relations. Dison and Riley showed that a "hydra phenomenon" gives rise to novel groups with extremely fast growing (Ackermannian) Dehn functions. Here we show that nevertheless, there are efficient (polynomial time) solutions to the word problems of these groups. Our main innovation is a means of computing efficiently with enormous integers which are represented in compressed forms by strings of Ackermann functions
