Effectiveness of Resin Infiltration and Mi Paste Cpp-Acp in Masking White Spot Lesions
… Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP), at improving the light reflectivity and thus the appearance of WSLs using spectrophotometric analysis. Sixty extracted human third molars were partially demineralized to create artificial WSLs and randomly divided into a control …

The effects of dopamine D1 and D2 antagonists on cocaine-induced CPP in preweanling rats
… D2 antagonists on conditioned place preference (CPP) and locomotor activity were assessed. A total of three experiments were conducted. In each experiment there were two conditioning days followed by a test day. The results indicate that DA D1 and D2 receptors have distictly different roles in …

I) Hv1, LBP and LCF reconstitution in Liposomes II) Signed, Sealed, and Delivered: CPP Technology Delivers Active Protein Cargo
… this thesis focuses on cell penetrating peptide (CPP) technology. TaT-CaM is a recently developed CPP that crosses cellular membranes and carries a wide variety of proteins. This study focuses on post-delivery effects of catalase, a peroxidase protein that breaks down H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, …

White spot lesion regression using casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate complexes alone or combined with microabrasion.
… by treatment with casein phosphopeptides (CPP) and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP). The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that the treatment of WSLs with CPP-ACP complexes produces no difference in the outcome of WSL regression when compared to controls regardless of …

Three Essays on the Troubled Asset Relief Program
… focuses on the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and consists of a historical overview of TARP and three empirical studies of the CPP. In the first empirical analysis, presented in chapter 2, I use an event study approach to examine the impact of …

Characterization, toxicity, and biological activities of organometallic compounds and peptide nucleic acids for potential use as antimicrobials
… when linked to a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), can suppress bacterial gene expression by an antisense mechanism and are attractive candidates for antimicrobial drugs because they bind strongly to target nucleic acids and are resistant to nucleases. Chapters 1 and 2 of the dissertation …

Effects of physical exercise and exercise-induced adult hippocampal neurogenesis on conditioned place preference for cocaine in mice
… extinction of conditioned place preference (CPP) for cocaine from exercise in male C57BL/6J mice. Since the conditioned place preference paradigm represents the major behavioral assay I employ in the proposed experiments, Chapter 1 presents a review of the relevant conditioned place …

Meaningful daily activity and chronic pain
When assessing chronic pain patients (CPP) a series of measures are routinely used to evaluate the severity of symptoms including: pain, psychological distress, disability, illness perception, positive affect and current treatments to manage chronic pain (CP). Clinicians also routinely administer …

Applications of femtosecond coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering in combustion
… coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CPP fs-CARS) for applications of gas phase thermometry and extension to methane concentration measurements. The main effort has been to assess the usefulness and robustness of the technique in turbulent combustors of practical interest. A primary …

Chronic Stress during Adolescence Alters Alcohol-Induced Conditioned Place Preference in Mice Selectively Bred for High Alcohol Preference but no Low Alcohol Preference
… subjects began a conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm, a behavioral task that measures the sensitivity to alcohol's rewarding effects. Since re-exposure to a stressor has been associated with an increased risk in relapse and other drug-seeking behaviors, half of the subjects in each …

INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF α6 and α4 CONTAINING NEURONAL NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS IN NICOTINE AND COCAINE CONDITIONED PLACE PREFERENCE TESTS IN MICE.
… using an unbiased conditioned place preference (CPP) test in mice. Adult male C57BL/6J mice or male mice null for the α6 or α4 nicotinic receptor subunit were used. For CPP: On day 1, pre-conditioning scores were recorded; Days 2-4 mice underwent conditioning, where they were randomly assigned to …

Serotonergic Circuits Mediating Stress Potentiation of Addiction Risk
… of cocaine conditioned place preference (CPP). Within the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), two overlapping populations of KOR-expressing neurons: Slc17a8 (VGluT3) and SERT, were distinguished functionally and anatomically. Optogenetic inhibition of these SERT+ neurons potentiated subsequent …

Utilization of the Cell Penetrating Peptide TAT-CaM in New Biological Systems: Fungal and Bacterial Cell Lines
<p>Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) are biomolecular vehicles or systems that mediate the delivery of proteins into different cell lines. Since their discovery in the late 1980s, the CPP delivery system has primarily been explored in different types of mammalian cells. The technology has …

Factionalism in the Conservative Party : the 'anti-Europeans' since 1970
The Conservative Parliamentary Party (CPP), traditionally regarded as a party of unity and cohesion by many leading academics, has since the early 1970's, witnessed a public display of internal controversies and disunity amongst its members. In the last twenty-eight years, successive Conservative …
