    HUMAN T-CELL L YMPHOTROPIC VIRUSES 1. Exposure Data 1.1 Structure, taxonomy and biology 1.1.1 Structure The structure of retroviruses is reviewed in the monograph on human immuno- deficiency viruses (HIV) in this volume. The human T-cell lymphotropic (T-cell Ieu- kaemia/lymphoma) viruses (HTL V) are enveloped viruses with a diameter of approxi- mately 80-100 nm (Figure 1). The HTLV virions contain two covalently bound genomic RNA strands, which are complexed with the viral enzymes reverse transcriptase (RT; with associated RNase H activity), integrase and protease and the capsid proteins. The outer part of the virions consists of a membrane-associated matrix protein and a lipid Iayer intersected by the envelope proteins (GeIderbIom, 1991). Figure 1.

  • Practical Ethics, Third Edition
    This page intentionally left blank Practical Ethics Third Edition For thirty years, Peter Singer’s Practical Ethics has been the classic introduction to applied ethics. For this third edition, the author has revised and updated all the chapters and added a new chapter addressing climate change, one of the most important ethical chal- lenges of our generation. Some of the questions discussed in this book concern our daily lives. Is it ethical to buy luxuries when others do not have enough to eat? Should we buy meat produced from intensively reared animals? Am I doing something wrong if my carbon footprint is above the global average? Other questions confront us as concerned citizens: equality and discrimination on the grounds of race or sex; abortion, the use of embryos for research, and euthanasia; political violence and terrorism; and the preservation of our planet’s environment. This book’s lucid style and provocative arguments make it an ideal text for university courses and for anyone willing to think about how she or he ought to live. Peter Singer is currently Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University and Laureate Professor at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at the University of Melbourne. He is the author or editor of more than forty books, including Animal Liberation (1975), Rethinking Life and Death (1996) and, most recently, The Life You Can Save (2009). In 2005, he was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

  • A Message from Mayor Ronald M. Serpico 2019 Heralds Exciting News for Melrose Park
    The Official Newsletter of the Village of Melrose Park TheROSE Winter 2019 A Message From Mayor Ronald M. Serpico 2019 Heralds Exciting News for Melrose Park ... 25th Avenue, Maywood Park and More! Dear Neighbors, The start of 2019 heralds exciting news for Melrose Park! First, the village board recently hired the firm of Strategic Project Management to handle the widening of 25th Avenue. In con- junction with county, state and federal officials, Melrose Park will vigorously pursue funding to widen 25th from two to four lanes between Lake Street and North Avenue, which has experienced an increased flow of traffic due to the railroad overpass open- ing. Strategic Project Management oversaw the construction of the 25th Avenue Railroad Overpass and therefore is very familiar with Melrose Park’s transportation needs and our long-range economic development goals. I will give updates as this project proceeds. Next, since my first day as mayor, I set my sights on incorporating Maywood Park Racetrack from unincorporated Cook County into the village of Melrose Park. As an older suburb, there is little room for expansion and the 55 acres that the track sits Ronald M. Serpico on is the ticket to revitalizing the northern gateway to our village. Mayor When Maywood Park closed in 2015, I made incorporating the track my administration’s top priority. After months of planning and negotiating, the Melrose Park Village Board passed an annexation agreement and the abandoned track structures will be demolished soon. My major concern was that the Cook County Board would control the future development of the abandoned track property.

  • The Adoption Process of a Hand-Reared Chimpanzee Infant a a Behavioural Study of a Captive Group
    The adoption process of ahand-reared chimpanzee infant Abehavioural study of acaptive group Maria Thunström Degree project inbiology, Master ofscience (2years), 2010 Examensarbete ibiologi 45 hp tillmasterexamen, 2010 Biology Education Centre and Department ofAnimal Ecology, Uppsala University Supervisors: Mats Björklund, Uppsala University and Tomas Persson, Lund University Abstract Adoption and alloparental care are found in a wide range of animals, including numerous anthropoid species. Considering the high cost of caring for an infant other than your own, the adaptive significance is poorly understood. Here, I describe a study of the introduction and subsequent adoption of a one-year old hand-reared female chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) infant into a captive group of conspecifics at Furuvik Zoo, Gävle, Sweden. I also discuss possible adaptive explanations for this adoption occurrence. Behavioural data on the integration and adoption process was collected over nine consecutive weeks. Frequency and time dedicated to infant care exhibited by group members was examined, as well as the infant’s secure base behaviour. An adult primiparous female chimpanzee adopted the infant and thus an attachment figure shift occurred from human to chimpanzee. However, the female initially showed very limited interest in the infant. It was, in fact, two other younger female group members who showed most interest and cared for the infant at first. The infant’s secure base behaviour patterns (examined by proximity to attachment figure, bout frequency and duration) show that the infant got more secure as the integration progressed. This study shows that an individual who initially exhibits most care does not necessarily become the adopter in the end and that there is a behavioural flexibility in displaying maternal motivation in adult chimpanzee females.
