Title: Engineering of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases mutants as potential therapeutics.
Creator: Nagase, Hideaki, Brew, Keith
Abstract/Description: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a central role in many biological processes such as development, morphogenesis and wound healing, but their unbalanced activities are implicated innumerous disease processes such as arthritis, cancer metastasis, atherosclerosis, nephritis and fibrosis.

Show moreMatrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a central role in many biological processes such as development, morphogenesis and wound healing, but their unbalanced activities are implicated innumerous disease processes such as arthritis, cancer metastasis, atherosclerosis, nephritis and fibrosis. One of the key mechanisms to control MMP activities is inhibition by endogenous inhibitors called tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). This review highlights the structures and inhibition mechanism of TIMPs, the biological activities of TIMPs, the unique properties of TIMP-3, and the altered specificity towards MMPs achieved by mutagenesis. A potential therapeutic use of TIMP variants is discussed.

Title: Cultivated food plants: culture and gendered spaces of colonists and the Chachi in Ecuador.
Creator: Fadiman, Maria
Abstract/Description: Colonists and indigenous groups living in and around Ecuador’s Mache-Chindul Reserve cultivate various subsistence food plants. The data reveal various differences between the two groups in regards to gendered agricultural spaces. Colonists maintain distinct planting areas, while the Chachi do so less. While each group plants some of the same crops, their basic staples differ: rice for the colonists and plantains for the Chachi. The gendered spaces are also distinct. In colonist households,...
Show moreColonists and indigenous groups living in and around Ecuador’s Mache-Chindul Reserve cultivate various subsistence food plants. The data reveal various differences between the two groups in regards to gendered agricultural spaces. Colonists maintain distinct planting areas, while the Chachi do so less. While each group plants some of the same crops, their basic staples differ: rice for the colonists and plantains for the Chachi. The gendered spaces are also distinct. In colonist households, women take primary care of plants closest to the home, while men’s domain is furthest from the home. Among the Chachi, the reverse pattern is the norm. This spatial organization is looked at in the context of previous theories regarding gender and agricultural. These distinctions are important to be considered in the context of better understanding gendered space among rural groups, and also for developing and implementing effective land use programs in and around protected areas.

Title: Hat weaving with Jipi, Carludovica palmata (Cyclanthaceae) in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
Creator: Fadiman, Maria
Abstract/Description: Weaving hats with jipi, Carludovlca palmata (Cyclanthaceae) has built the local economy and cultural identity for the people of Becal, in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. They obtain most material from cultivated sources, weave in man-made caves, and market the goods to commercial centers. Because Jipi does not appear to deplete the sod, they do not need to clear more land for sustainable production. Although weaving traditionally served as the main source of income and social activity in Becal...
Show moreWeaving hats with jipi, Carludovlca palmata (Cyclanthaceae) has built the local economy and cultural identity for the people of Becal, in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. They obtain most material from cultivated sources, weave in man-made caves, and market the goods to commercial centers. Because Jipi does not appear to deplete the sod, they do not need to clear more land for sustainable production. Although weaving traditionally served as the main source of income and social activity in Becal, interest in weaving is declining as the town modernizes. Although profits gained from weaving add to family earnings, because of the many hands through which the hat passes, this income remains low compared to the final selling prices. Thus, many who have the opportunity to pursue other careers are doing so. However, for rural communities, without other earning options, weaving may provide an economically and environmentally advantageous way to use the land.

Title: Resource stewardship: rain forest use among three ethnic groups of Ecuador.
Creator: Fadiman, Maria
Abstract/Description: In looking at alternative forest use, it is imperative that the sustainability of these alternatives is addressed. This question is particularly pressing in The Mache-Chindul Ecological Reserve in northwestern Ecuador. The two plant resources on which this study focuses, a palm and a hemi-epiphyte (a vine-like plant that germinates in the ground, grows up a tree, and then sends down aerial roots), can be harvested in such a way that the plant continues to grow after harvested parts have been...
Show moreIn looking at alternative forest use, it is imperative that the sustainability of these alternatives is addressed. This question is particularly pressing in The Mache-Chindul Ecological Reserve in northwestern Ecuador. The two plant resources on which this study focuses, a palm and a hemi-epiphyte (a vine-like plant that germinates in the ground, grows up a tree, and then sends down aerial roots), can be harvested in such a way that the plant continues to grow after harvested parts have been removed. Thus, these two plants are potentially sustainable resources. The idea that non-indigenous groups are more detrimental to the forest than are indigenous people is addressed. This qualitative study falls into the body of research in which various authors have questioned the concept that indigenous people are inherently conservationist in nature.

Title: "Starvation taught me art": Tree poaching, gender and cultural shifts in wood curio carving in Zimbabwe.
Creator: Fadiman, Maria
Abstract/Description: This study looks at wood curio carving in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Africa. Although the local people, Ndebele and Shona, have always carved, they now face a weakened economy, due in large part to land reforms in 2000. Thus, more people sculpt wood as a form of livelihood. As one man said “Starvation taught me art”. As a result, gender roles are shifting as men and women begin to enter realms previously reserved for the other. Environmentally, carvers poaching trees deforests the woodlands....

As one man said “Starvation taught me art”. As a result, gender roles are shifting as men and women begin to enter realms previously reserved for the other. Environmentally, carvers poaching trees deforests the woodlands. As more individuals turn to making crafts sustainability deteriorates. However, people are looking into more sustainable practices. Ndebele and Shona are experimenting with carving smaller items so as to be able to earn more profit from less wood, and to use branches instead of heartwood. Carvers are also using scrap wood from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) lumber mills to lessen dependence on live trees.

Title: Natural resource use and cultural change: Nipa hut shingle processing with Nypa fruticans, Arecaceae, in Palawan, Philippines.
Creator: Fadiman, Maria
Abstract/Description: Geographers are interested in how people utilize natural resources. The Philippines Nipa is the predominant mangrove species and plays an important role in the ecosystem. Cultural and economic uses make deforestation of the Nipa plant an important societal and environmental case to examine.
