Precise Measurement of the b-Quark Fragmentation Function in Z0 Boson Decays

The excellent efficiency and resolution of this technique allow us to make the most precise determination of the b-quark fragmentation function, using e(+)e(-)-->Z0 decays recorded in the SLAC Large Detector experiment. We compared our measurement with the predictions of a number of fragmentation models. We excluded several of these models and measured the average scaled energy of weakly decaying B hadrons to be <x(B)> = 0.714+/-0. 005(stat)+/-0.007(syst)+/-0.002 (model dependence).

The free movement of people within the European Union is a cornerstone of the EU's fundamental commitment to its citizens. This is given detailed expression within a developing legal and policy frameworks enshrined within the various EU Treaties. Current policy approaches emphasise migrant integration that is mutual and rooted in practical strategies. Europe's faith communities continue to play a key role in integrating migrants and their contribution is explored in this paper, suggesting that European Christianity is a form of intercultural Christianity and therefore an important aspect of communal integration.

The outcomes, whether good or bad, will affect the racial attitude of this country for this and future generations. Because racial hatred, and all of its related emotions, is both taught and innate, 8 this Article argues that a multi-leveled anti-racism campaign should be embraced. This Article begins by very briefly reviewing the most famous racial integration case, Brown v. Board of Education, 9 taking a look at its intent and its implementation. Bringing Brown into the present, the Article then analyzes current attempts by public educational institutions to comport with the Brown mandate. Two relatively recent attempts came from Louisville, Kentucky and Seattle, Washington. 10 Another challenged an amendment to a state constitution. 11 The Article will review the U.S. Supreme Court cases that came from those attempts. In addressing the actual cases, this Article assumes that racial integration is a preferred societal good 12 and will, therefore, assess the strategies used to promote racial integration. To determine the most legally effective methods of achieving racial integration, the Article evaluates the Court's decisions, both critiquing the Court's analysis and seeking the 8.

Abstract P800: Liposomal Delivery of PICK1 Inhibitor, FSC231, Prevents Ischemic/Reperfusion-Induced Degradation of GluA2 AMPA Receptor Subunit

Despite an enormous amount of research effort within the scientific community, very few therapeutics are available for stroke patients. Cytotoxic accumulation of intracellular calcium is a well-studied phenomenon that occurs following ischemic stroke. This intracellular calcium overload results from excessive release of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, a process known as excitotoxicity, eventually leading to delayed neuronal death. The hippocampus is particularly susceptible to AMPA receptor-mediated delayed neuronal death. AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are homo- or hetero-tetramers composed of GluA1-4 subunits. The majority of AMPARs are impermeable to calcium due to a post-transcriptional modification in the channel pore of the GluA2 AMPAR subunit. Calcium-permeable AMPARs lacking the GluA2 subunit, contribute to calcium cytotoxicity and subsequent neuronal death. The internalization and subsequent degradation of GluA2 AMPAR subunits following oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) is, at least in part, mediated by protein-interacting with C Kinase-1 (PICK1). We hypothesize that disrupting the PICK1—GluA2 interaction will prevent the degradation of GluA2, thereby protecting neurons within the hippocampus from AMPAR-mediated delayed neuronal death. Pretreatment with liposome-encapsulated FSC231, an inhibitor of PICK1, in acute rodent hippocampal slices prevents the OGD/R-induced association of PICK1—GluA2. FSC231 treatment during OGD/R rescues total GluA2 AMPAR subunit protein levels. This work is the first to utilize a liposomal drug delivery system for the delivery of a small molecule in ex vivo acute rodent hippocampal slices exposed to ischemia/reperfusion injury. These results suggest that the interaction between GluA2 and PICK1 serves as an important step in the ischemic/reperfusion-induced reduction in total GluA2 levels and is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Students will learn how brain energy metabolism is a dynamic, and highly regulated process. We will explore the variety forms of neuronal chemical communication that may not conform to basic concepts of synaptic signaling. We will learn about the early development of the brain and the molecular regulation of neurogenesis. We will study processes that are involved in the growth and guidance of axons leading to the formation as well as the elimination of synapses. We will explore the basic mechanisms involved in learning and memory. Finally, students will learn about the molecular and cellular mechanisms associated with neurodegenerative disease.

The core theme is that Australian Baptist congregations must find new ways of engaging withe increasingly secular context of Australia. This requires congregations to remain spiritually vital, practically engaged, missionally relevant, and theologically authentic.

In this essay, the author's methodology is to critique the culture oftranshumanism, arguing, with Barbour, that all technology is tool whose use is determined by the cultural and social frameworks within which it is utilized. Transhumanism is characterized as morally ambiguous, extremely individu- alistic, fixated upon health, vitality, and power, ideological, reductionist, and self-deluded. Its proposed use of technology is, thus, highly suspect and deserves a robust theological response.
