Anderson: Well, hello, everyone, and welcome to the third of our January public lecture series. I'm Dr. David Anderson, the vice president of the board of governors of ARCE, and I want to welcome you to a very special lecture today with Dr. Kent Weeks titled, Does the Past Have a Future: The Work of the Theban Mapping Project. This lecture is celebrating the work of the Theban Mapping Project as well as the launch of the new Theban Mapping Project website, www.thebanmappingproject.com. Before we introduce Dr. Weeks, for those of you who are new to ARCE, we are a private nonprofit organization whose mission is to support the research on all aspects of Egyptian history and culture, foster a broader knowledge about Egypt among the general public and to support American- Egyptian cultural ties. As a nonprofit, we rely on ARCE members to support our work, so I want to first give a special welcome to our ARCE members who are joining us today. If you are not already a member and are interested in becoming one, I invite you to visit our website arce.org and join online to learn more about the organization and the important work that all of our members are doing. We provide a suite of benefits to our members including private members-only lecture series. Our next members-only lecture is on February 6th at 1 p.m.

Bilaterians have eight functionally distinct Voltage-gated K+ channel subfamilies: Shaker, Shab, Shaw, Shal, KCNQ, Eag, Erg and Elk. These subfamilies are defined by sequence conservation, functional properties as well as subfamily-specific assembly. Genome searches revealed metazoan-specificity of these gene families and the presence of prototypic voltage-gated K+ channels in a common ancestor of ctenophores (comb jellies) and parahoxozoans (bilaterians, cnidarians and placozoans). Establishment of the gene subfamilies, however happened later in a parahoxozoan ancestor. Analysis of voltage- gated K+ channels in a cnidarians species Nematostella vectensis (sea anemone) unveiled conservation in functional properties with bilaterian homologs. Phosphoinositide (most notably PIP2) regulation of ion channels is universal in eukaryotes. PIP2 modulates Shaker, KCNQ and Erg channels in distinct manners, while PIP2 regulation of Elk channels has not been reported.

Gao 1,2,4 ✉ Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is an important safety concern for vaccine development against dengue virus (DENV) and its antigenically related Zika virus (ZIKV) because vaccine may prime deleterious antibodies to enhance natural infections. Cross-reactive antibodies targeting the conserved fusion loop epitope (FLE) are known as the main sources of ADE. We design ZIKV immunogens engineered to change the FLE conformation but preserve neutralizing epitopes. Single vaccination conferred sterilizing immunity against ZIKV without ADE of DENV-serotype 1–4 infections and abrogated maternal–neonatal transmis- sion in mice. Unlike the wild-type-based vaccine inducing predominately cross-reactive ADE-prone antibodies, B cell profiling revealed that the engineered vaccines switched immunodominance to dispersed patterns without DENV enhancement. The crystal structure of the engineered immunogen showed the dimeric conformation of the envelope protein with FLE disruption. We provide vaccine candidates that will prevent both ZIKV infection and infection-/vaccination-induced DENV ADE. IKV is a mosquito-borne pathogen belonging to the genus models12,13,19,20. More importantly, a recent study of pediatric cohorts Flavivirus in the family Flaviviridae1. The 2015–2016 ZIKV in Nicaragua clearly shows that previous ZIKV infection enhanced epidemic spread to 84 countries worldwide, including future risk of DENV2 disease and severity, as well as DENV3 sever- Z2,3 21,22 China .

By writing "How to Plan an Unforgettable Journey in EGYPT", it is my hope that the many people who read this work come to realize just how amazing it is to visit your incredible country. May they come to see your bountiful sites for themselves and then send their friends. And when they are there, it is my hope that they meet as many of you as is possible during their journey so that when they return, like myself, they can proudly say "I have friends in Egypt." To all of you who I already know in Egypt, and to all of you I have yet to meet, forever you will remain in my heart, as my friends. 3 | P a g e An Egyptian Journey immerses travelers in more than 7,000 years of history – ancient Egypt to the Roman Empire, Islamic dynasties to modern metropolises. With vast and beautiful deserts, fresh oases, simple villages, chaotic metropolises, tranquil Red Sea resorts, the palm-lined Nile and awe- inspiring, sand-swathed monuments, there’s a place for all personalities of traveler. While the country comprises a mixture of different cultures and religions, a unifying and omnipresent sense of hospitality runs deep in the blood of every Egyptian – a warmness toward one another and a kind embrace to all who visit her.

Neurosci. Abstr. 5:585; 1980:Nature, 283;673). This was seen as a voltage-de- pendent, subthreshold, non-inactivating potassium current that had a dramatic braking action on repetitive action potential discharges. It was dubbed “M-current” because it was inhibited by muscarine, acting on muscarinic ace- tylcholine receptors (mAChRs), thereby increasing action potential discharges. M-current is an imperfect descriptor because the current can also be inhibited by activating other Gq-type G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and mus- carine itself only works if the cell has M1, M3 or M5 receptors, not M2 or M4 (Robbins et al., 1991: Eur J Neurosci. 3: 820). The molecular composition of the M-channel was revealed some two decades later by David McKinnon and his colleagues as a combination of theKCNQ2 and KCNQ3 gene products Kv7.2 and Kv7.3 (Wang et al., 1998: Science. 282: 1890), probably as a 2+2 heteromer (Hadley et al, 2003: J Neurosci. 23: 5012). Though gated by voltage, the channels require the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to open (Zhanget al., 2003: Neuron.

  • Geochemistry and Transport of Uranium- Bearing Dust at Jackpile Mine, Laguna, New Mexico
    Geochemistry and Transport of Uranium- Bearing Dust at Jackpile Mine, Laguna, New Mexico By Reid Douglas Brown Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Masters of Science in Hydrology New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology Department of Mechanical Engineering Socorro, New Mexico (August 2017) ABSTRACT Closed mines pose significant risks to the environment and human health. Uranium mine contamination of surface water, groundwater and soil have received moderate attention, but few studies have investigated dust transport of uranium. The latter has immediate implications for remediation efforts and environmental/human health regulators. Frequent dust storms intensify aeolian transport of uranium in arid settings. At the Jackpile Mine in Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico, 15 sets of dust traps have been installed at heights of 0.25 m, 0.5 m, 1.0 m and 1.5 m above the soil surface. Some of these traps are within the mine pit, while others are up to 4 km away; dust from these sites was collected every two months. In addition, soil samples from each site were collected and sieved into eight size classes. All samples were acid digested, and the uranium content analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. We investigate whether uranium has an affinity for a particular particle size class, with interest centered on particles small enough to be completely inhaled by humans. Results show that surface concentrations of uranium vary substantially across the landscape. Distance from the pit shows no correlation with uranium in the upper 5 cm of soil. Other factors appear to control accumulation, such as vegetation height and density and topographic relief, which are known to have a significant impact on wind speeds, soil erosion and dust deposition.
