Distribution and Dispersal Behavior of Trogoderma variabile and Plodia interpunctella Outside a Food Processing Plant (2004)

J. F. Campbell, M. A. Mullen

The distribution and dispersal distances of insects outside of food processing and storage facilities potentially have an important influence on the population dynamics and spatial distribution of...

Response of Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) to Food Odor Emanating Through Consumer Packaging Films (2004)

S. V. Mowery, J. F. Campbell, M. A. Mullen, A. B. Broce

The sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), is an important pest of packaged consumer foods, yet little is known of its behavioral response to food odors. Adults and larvae are not...

Mechanisms Underlying Sawtoothed Grain Beetle (Oryzaephilus surinamensis [L.]) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) Infestation of Consumer Food Packaging Materials (2002)

S. V. Mowery, M. A. Mullen, J. F. Campbell, A. B. Broce

The sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), is an extremely destructive pest of packaged consumer food products. The beetle is not believed to chew directly through packaging...

Monitoring Stored-Product Pests in Food Processing Plants with Pheromone Trapping, Contour Mapping, and Mark-Recapture (2002)

J. F. Campbell, M. A. Mullen, A. K. Dowdy

Distribution and movement patterns of several species of stored-product pests in a food processing plant were investigated. The objectives of this study were to determine the temporal and spatial...

Evaluation of colocalization interactions between the IE110, IE175, and IE63 transactivator proteins of herpes simplex virus within subcellular punctate structures.

Mullen, M A, Gerstberger, S, Ciufo, D M, Mosca, J D, Hayward, G S

A number of previous studies have implied that three herpes simplex virus-encoded nuclear transactivator proteins, IE175 (ICP4), IE110 (ICP0), and IE63 (ICP27), may cooperate in transcriptional and...

Mapping of intracellular localization domains and evidence for colocalization interactions between the IE110 and IE175 nuclear transactivator proteins of herpes simplex virus.

Mullen, M A, Ciufo, D M, Hayward, G S

Transcriptional regulation by the IE175 (ICP4) and IE110 (ICP0) phosphorylated nuclear proteins encoded by herpes simplex virus (HSV) appears to be a key determinant for the establishment of...

Identification of a dimerization domain in the C-terminal segment of the IE110 transactivator protein from herpes simplex virus.

Ciufo, D M, Mullen, M A, Hayward, G S

The 775-amino-acid IE110 (or ICP0) phosphoprotein of herpes simplex virus (HSV) functions as an accessory transcription factor during the lytic cycle and plays a critical role in reactivation from...

Functional domains of Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen EBNA-1.

Ambinder, R F, Mullen, M A, Chang, Y N, Hayward, G S, Hayward, S D

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded latency product EBNA-1 is functionally pleiotropic, being required for replication of the episomal form of the EBV genome and having a role in the regulation of...

The functionally active IE2 immediate-early regulatory protein of human cytomegalovirus is an 80-kilodalton polypeptide that contains two distinct activator domains and a duplicated nuclear localization signal.

Pizzorno, M C, Mullen, M A, Chang, Y N, Hayward, G S

The IE2 region of the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) strain Towne major immediate-early (MIE) gene encodes a transcriptional transactivator that stimulates expression from a variety of heterologous...

Transplantation of electively aborted human fetal tissue: physicians' attitudes.

Mullen, M A, Williams, J I, Lowy, F H

OBJECTIVE: To provide empirical data on the attitudes of Ontario family physicians and gynecologists toward the use of electively aborted fetal tissue for transplantation (FTT). DESIGN:...

Access to adult liver transplantation in Canada: a survey and ethical analysis.

Mullen, M A, Kohut, N, Sam, M, Blendis, L, Singer, P A

OBJECTIVES: To describe the substantive and procedural criteria used for placing patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation and for allocating available livers to patients on the waiting...
