Mineralogic and Geochemical Variations within the Old Hickory Heavy Mineral Sand, Sussex and Dinwiddie Counties, Virginia
No full textThe Old Hickory mine is a world class placer titanium deposit located at the boundary of the Coastal Plain and the Piedmont in Virginia, astride the Sussex-Dinwiddie county line (77°34' W Long, 36°55'N Lat., Cherry Hill Quad). The Old Hickory deposit, discovered in 1987 by C. R. Berquist, was opened as a commercial mine in 1997, and is presently operated by Iluka Resources. Heavy minerals constitute an average of 8% of the sediment, but locally reach concentrations as rich as 60%. The ore minerals, in order of decreasing concentrations, are ilmenite, rutile, and zircon, which are believed to have been derived from weathering of Piedmont and Blue Ridge sources. After fluvial transport to the coast, the ore minerals were redistributed laterally along the coast by longshore currents, and ultimately concentrated by intense wave action, probably generated by large storms. The ores occur over an area of 8 km x 3 km, with ore minerals being found from the surface to up to depths of 12 meters, and appear to occur in at least two distinct ore horizons. This study examines the general ore mineralogy and differences in the mineralogy, grain sizes, secondary textures, and geochemistry of the ore minerals in the two distinct ore zones. Distinguishable differences between the two zones include a slightly coarser grain size, more angular grains of rutile, and a higher percentage of accessory minerals (epidote, garnet, etc) in the younger zone. Approximately 40% of all the ilmenite grains contain exsolution lamellae of hematite, a residual texture from the time of original ilmenite crystallization. Weathering of these ilmenite grains has preferentially dissolved out the hematite while preserving the original texture; thus the weathering increases the titanium content of the ore by removing some of the iron. The weathering also affects the distribution of minor elements such as aluminum, manganese, and chromium. At Old Hickory, the zircon population can be divided into two main types (thin, elongate rounded pink prisms, and short, thicker white to clear prisms) that may represent either multiple source regions or multiple generations of heavy mineral deposition. The variations in grain size, angularity, and rutile content are likely to be mappable and may prove useful in continuing stratigraphic studies, and in distinguishing separate ore zones.Master of Scienc
Studies on the Fidelity of Viral Protein Synthesis
No full textFull text is available to authenticated members of The University of Auckland only.A method for peptide mapping of tryptic digests on cellulose this layers was developed. The method was much more sensitive than procedures based on paper or column separation techniques, and enabled the detection of many peptides resulting from non-specific tryptic hydrolysis during protein digestion.
An E-coli cell-free protein synthesizing system directed by R17 RNA was used to examine the fidelity of translation in vitro. The major product of this system, the coat protein, was separated from the in vitro reaction mixtures and analysed by the peptide mapping procedure. A series of experiments utilising radioactive amino acids established that the fidelity of translation was high, and enabled the identification of the mapping position of the major tryptic peptides
Toward an understanding of the possibility of a religious leap in Kierkegaard's a literary review
No full textIn his work A Literary Review, Kierkegaard bemoans much about "the present age" and in the text he presents an extremely bleak picture of the potential for one to
live an authentically religious life. However, he also makes it clear that he believes the
present age is in a uniquely superior position because a religious leap remains possible.
The purpose of this thesis is to determine why Kierkegaard believes that a religious leap
is possible in the present age. I attempt to understand one promising method of
achieving a religious leap by appealing to another work by Kierkegaard entitled
Philosophical Fragments. It is my position that, given a particular interpretation,
Philosophical Fragments places some readers in a position where a religious leap
emerges as a possibility
Severe cytomegalovirus infection and immunosuppressive therapy in pediatric liver transplantation
No full textTwenty-two post-orthotropic liver transplant (OLT) recipients were studied to investigate the clinical, laboratory and histopathological differences between rejection and CMV infection. The mean age at the time of transplantation was five years. Nine of 22 (41%) patients developed positive CMV, CF-IgG and IgM antibody titers and cultures for CMV following surgery, and three (group 1a) developed interstitial pneumonitis. CMV specific inclusion bodies were found in lung and liver biopsies. Two patients in group 1a were treated successfully with DHPG and decreasing immunosuppressive treatment, while the third died. Clinical presentation of rejection episodes were similar in all groups. CMV infected patients (group 1) received more transfusions of blood and blood products than the non-infected patients (group 2). Rejection episodes occurred sooner and more frequently in group 1a than in group 1b (CMV infected-asymptomatic) and group 2 (non-infected). Group 2 received fewer steroid boluses as well as azathioprine and OKT 3. A percutaneous liver biopsy with routine stains helped detect CMV when inclusion bodies were seen. We conclude that culture proven CMV infection is common post-OLT. Severe CMV infection occurred more frequently in those who had received greater doses of immunosuppressive therapy for possible graft rejection. Monitoring CMV infection following OLT is absolutely necessary. After OLT, decreasing the immunosuppressives and using antiviral agents are important in the management of CMV infection
Lactobacillus strategies to reduce Campylobacter jejuni colonization of broiler chickens
No full textCampylobacter jejuni is one of the leading causes of foodborne bacterial illness in the world. The majority of cases of campylobacteriosis are associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked poultry meat or their cross-contamination with other food products. Strategies to reduce the presence of Campylobacter in the poultry supply are underdeveloped. The probiotic Lactobacillus spp. are a viable delivery vehicle for mucosal vaccines due to the Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status. In addition, recombinant lactobacilli present proteins to the mucosal surface and elicit host immune responses. The overall objectives of this research were to 1) colonize broiler chickens with C. jejuni; 2) construct recombinant Lactobacillus for oral delivery of vaccines against C. jejuni; and 3) evaluate the immunogenicity of the recombinant Lactobacillus strains in broiler chickens. To meet these objectives, broiler chickens were orally administered with 109 CFU/mL of C. jejuni NCTC 11168 on d 14, then necropsied on d 21 for direct-plating of the cecal contents. Results indicate successful C. jejuni colonization of the cecal crypts. Lactobacillus strains were engineered to express C. jejuni FlpA Domain II under a promoter fused to a secretion signal with or without an anchoring signal from the mucus-binding protein of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM. Additional work must be conducted to evaluate the exterior protein expression and in vivo antigen-immune response within broiler chickens. If successful, the recombinant Lactobacillus strain could be an attractive candidate as a food-grade live vaccine against Campylobacter colonization. In addition, a non-genetically modified delivery approach proposes attachment of C. jejuni FlpA to the cell wall of lactobacilli utilizing one of three cell wall binding domains. Reduction of Campylobacter at the poultry farm decreases the introduction of the bacteria into the retail market and decreases the incidence of campylobacteriosis.Item withdrawn by Mark Zulauf ([email protected]) on 2014-07-11T19:03:39Z
