However, to fully grasp such a concept, one has to first understand that I was an accounting and finance under- graduate. I thrived with numbers and T-charts but never words. I had only taken two rudimentary English classes as an undergraduate because, after all, that was all that was required. As one should pre- sume, my written composition and analysis skills were less than re- fined when I enrolled in Creighton’s School of Law. Although lacking a background in formal writing, I found myself in a fortunate position clerking for a well-respected law firm during my 1L summer. That firm demanded, and rightfully so, that each of its clerks research legal issues to exhaustion prior to providing a writ- ten memorandum of how the applicable law would affect a client’s case or business objective. Honestly, I treaded water early on in meeting the firm’s expectations because I could not create concise and persua- sive written work product—something that is paramount in the legal profession. I simply had never been taught how to do so. As fate would have it, after spending the day clerking, I spent most nights researching my student note’s topic with the methodical assistance of Mr. P. Brian Bartels who was my Student Note Editor. In congruence with my clerkship, Mr. Bartels insisted that I research the applicable legal doctrines to exhaustion before I even wrote a sin- gle sentence for the note. Thereafter, to my genuine surprise, Mr. Bartels diligently began teaching me the intricacies of legal writing when he noticed that my written composition and analysis skills lacked refinement. Until that point in time, I truly believed that eve- rything associated with law school was based upon a “survival of the fittest” mentality given that everyone was graded on the dreaded bell curve and assigned a class rank. However, Mr. Bartels was someone who wanted to invest the time to teach a fellow student the complexi- ties of legal writing. Not only did the techniques Mr. Bartels taught help me in crafting a student note that would later be published but, after I applied the same to the memorandums I composed daily for my clerkship, I was able to parlay those refined memorandums into a clerkship my 2L summer and ultimately into an associate position which launched my legal career. Only later in life would I recognize that Mr. Bartels, like many other Law Review editors over the years, was simply fulfilling one of the Law Review’s cornerstone missions of 180 CREIGHTON LAW REVIEW [Vol.

  • Short-Term Rapamycin Persistently Improves Cardiac Function After Cessation of Treatment in Aged Male and Female Mice
    Short-term rapamycin persistently improves cardiac function after cessation of treatment in aged male and female mice. Ellen Quarles A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Peter Rabinovitch, Chair Michael MacCoss David Marcinek Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Pathology © Copyright 2017 Ellen Quarles University of Washington Abstract Short-term rapamycin persistently improves cardiac function after cessation of treatment in aged male and female mice. Ellen Quarles Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Peter Rabinovitch, Professor and Vice Chair of Research Department of Pathology Cardiac aging is an intrinsic process that results in impaired cardiac function and dysregulation of cellular and molecular quality control mechanisms. These effects are evident in the decline of diastolic function, increase in left ventricular hypertrophy, metabolic substrate shifts, and alterations to the cardiac proteome. This thesis covers the quality control mechanisms that are associated with cardiac aging, results from an anti-aging intervention in aged mice, and a review of mitochondrial dysfunction in the heart. Chapter one is a review of the quality control mechanisms in aging myocardium. Chapter two consists of the results of several mouse experiments that compare the cardiac function, proteomes, and metabolomes of aged and young controls, along with rapamycin treated aged mice. The novelty of this study comes from the inclusion of a group of animals treated only transiently with the drug, then followed for eight weeks post-drug-removal. This persistence cohort may hold clues to deriving long-lasting benefits of rapamycin with only transient treatment.

BACKGROUND On January 15, 1961, the State of California established a temporary dedicated bus lane on the Bay Bridge to alleviate rush hour congestion. The bus-only lane enabled buses to remain on schedule and reduced bus travel time across the bridge from 25 minutes to 13 minutes, twice as fast as automobiles during rush hour. Implementation had an immediate effect on AC Transit ridership — Transbay ticket sales increased 12.8 percent in just a year, from $134,699 in January 1961 to $153,912 in January 1962.1 On January 31, 1963, the San Francisco Division of Bay Toll Crossing under the California Department of Public Works, now renamed the Division of Bay Toll Crossing, announced that it would be removing the bus express lane after only a year of operation.

    SANTA CLARA COUNTY I-280 CORRIDOR STUDY Appendix B2 Technical Memorandum Existing Transportation Condition Memo SANTA CLARA VALLEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (VTA) 1-1 I-280 Corridor Study SANTA CLARA COUNTY Introduction The I-280 Corridor Study within Santa Clara County is a highway planning study led by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), in partnership with the City of Cupertino. The purpose of this study is to develop a strategic transportation improvement plan to identify areas of the transportation system that require short term and long range planning for the I-280 Corridor in Santa Clara County. The study extends approximately 22 miles between the San Mateo county line at the west and I-280/I-680/US 101 interchange in the City of San Jose at the east. Figure 1 illustrates the study corridor and the project limits. This technical memorandum summarizes the existing traffic conditions along the study corridor. The existing traffic conditions are based on a combination of data collected from a variety of sources including Caltrans Census Data, PeMS, ramp metering studies, manual counts and field observations of the freeway operating conditions. During the a.m. peak period, the peak direction of traffic is northbound on I-280 and during the p.m. peak period, the peak direction of traffic is southbound on I-280. Existing Vehicular Traffic Data Sources Table 1 lists the various sources of traffic data that were collected.

  • Splicing Repression Is a Major Function of Tdp-43 in Motor Neurons
    SPLICING REPRESSION IS A MAJOR FUNCTION OF TDP-43 IN MOTOR NEURONS: THERAPEUTIC IMPLICATIONS FOR AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS by Aneesh N. Donde A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May, 2018 Title: Splicing Repression is a Major Function of Tdp-43 in Motor Neurons Ph.D Dissertator: Aneesh N. Donde Ph.D Advisor: Philip C. Wong, Ph.D Abstract Nuclear depletion of TDP-43, an RNA binding protein which serves to protect the transcriptome by repressing aberrant splicing, may underlie neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). As multiple functions have been ascribed to TDP-43, whether splicing repression is its major role in motor neurons – that may be compromised in ALS – remains to be established. Here, we show that TDP-43 mediated splicing repression is central to the physiology of motor neurons. To validate TDP-43 mediated splicing repression as a therapeutic target, an AAV9-mediated gene delivery approach was employed to deliver a chimeric protein comprised of the N-terminal RNA recognition domain of TDP-43 fused to an unrelated splicing repressor (RAVER1) to mice lacking TDP-43 in motor neurons. This strategy allowed long-term expression of the repressor without any untoward effects, delayed the onset and slowed the progression of disease, and extended survival. In treated mice, evidence of aberrant splicing was markedly decreased and accompanied by amelioration of motor neuron loss. These findings establish that splicing repression is a principal role of TDP-43 in motor neurons and support the idea that loss of TDP-43-mediated splicing repression represents a key pathogenic mechanism underling motor neuron loss, validating a novel mechanism-based therapeutic strategy for ALS.
