Where can I find information about patents and trademarks?
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) (https://www.uspto.gov/) provides information, publications, forms, guides, and services on searching and registering for patents and trademarks. In addition, LSU Libraries has a Patent and Trademark Resource Center (PTRC), representative who can answer general questions about the patent and trademark process. You can schedule a one-on-one consultation with them by appointment (https://lsu.libcal.com/appointments/caple) . You can also explore the librarys Patent and Trademark Resource Center Research Guide (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/ptrc) . Answered by: Kendall Caple
Are there any graduate assistantships available?
Most assistantships would be found on the LSU Handshake website (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/students/handshake.php) , though some opportunities are handled directly through the hiring department. It wouldn't hurt to check with a staff member in your graduate program to see if they are aware of assistantships not listed on Handshake. ________________________________________________________________________ More information on Handshake.... How to Access Handshake Admitted Students Undergraduate and Graduate students receive access to Handshake on June 15. At that time, you can log in to Handshake using your myLSU email and password at lsu.joinhandshake.com (https://lsu.joinhandshake.com/) or download the Handshake Jobs & Careers App (download in the Apple App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1220620171) or download through Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joinhandshake.student…) ). If a user experiences a barrier in access to Handshake or content within due to a disability, please contact the LSU Olinde Career Center at career@lsu.edu (mailto:career@lsu.edu) . For information on how to apply to on-campus and off-campus jobs, visit the Student Employment webpage (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/studentemployment/students.php) . If you would like to schedule a meeting with our team, or access other career center resources prior to receiving Handshake access, please contact us at career@lsu.edu (mailto:career@lsu.edu) and we are happy to assist you. Graduate Students: Please note, while some graduate assistantships may be posted in Handshake, most opportunities are managed directly through the hiring department. Please contact your graduate program and campus contacts directly to inquire about available assistantships. Alumni Alumni retain free access to Handshake and to most other career center resources, including appointments with the career center team. View the Alumni Resources page to request Handshake access (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/students/alumni.php) . Rsum Uploads Please make note that all rsums must be approved by the LSU Olinde Career Center before becoming active in Handshake for applying for jobs or participating in on-campus interviews. Please be prompt in submitting a rsum for activation in Handshake. The career center makes every effort to be timely in the document approval process, but cannot guarantee a turnaround of less than two (2) business days. Fraudulent and Scam Job Postings We work hard to keep fraudulent postings out of Handshake (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/students/handshake.php) by using some common red flags typically considered suspicious. While red flags dont automatically remove a job posting, we research the company and posting if suspicion arises before making a decision. You should research suspicious companies or postings, too (or dont apply). The Fraudulent and Scam Job Postings (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/about/FraudulentandScamJobPostingsbook…) guide outlines red flags so you, too, can attempt to identify such scam or fraudulent postings. Our position: Never apply for a suspicious job. Questions? Contact career@lsu.edu (mailto:career@lsu.edu) . Answered by: Gabriella Lindsay
What sort of study spaces are available in the library?
The majority of the tables and desks throughout LSU Library are treated as open seating for anyone to use. These spaces are available on all floors of the library. Certain areas are designated for quiet study; these include sections of the second and third floors and the entirety of the fourth. Regardless of where you are, please be respectful of other patrons studying nearby. There are several bookable group study rooms and individual study booths located on the third and fourth floors. Walk-up use of these spaces is encouraged, but reservations always take priority. Faculty and graduate students may also request a key for their own private study carrel at the checkout desk in room 241. Nearly all study booths on the second floor are currently open for anyone to use. LSU Libraries | Bookable Spaces

The Perilous Catch : A History of Commercial Fishing
For centuries Britain's commercial fishermen have ventured out into the ravages of the surrounding seas to bring fish back both to supply a home market and for export around the world. Fishing is one of history's most dangerous jobs, and when disasters occur they can affect whole communities: in 1872 some 129 men were lost in one night alone. Fishermen have lost their lives because of extreme weather, fishing gear entanglement, lack of emergency support and often simply by falling overboard. Today, commercial fishing remains one of the most perilous occupations and still claims the lives of fishermen each year, leaving their families behind. The Perilous Catch is a well-researched, comprehensive and poignant history of the fishing industry written by maritime historian Mike Smylie.
A Recreation Demand Model for Warmwater Fishing in Delaware with Welfare Effects for Improvements in Catch Rates, Species Diversity, and Water Clarity
We estimate a recreation demand model for warmwater fishing in Delaware and then use it to measure welfare gains associated with improved fishing quality as measured by catch rate of fish, diversity of species, and clarity of water. We use a "linked" site choice-trip frequency model with data gathered by the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife. Our site choice model includes 118 rivers and lakes in the state with detailed characteristics of each. We develop hypothetical scenarios of fishing quality improvement involving combinations of fish catch, fish diversity, and water clarity and apply it to individual water bodies, water basins, selected water body groupings, and statewide. Values are reported in seasonal per angler and aggregate terms.
Catch Shares and Shoreside Processors : A Costs and Earnings Exploration into the Downstream Sector
Although processors can be a significant source of fishery-based employment and rent generation, land-based processors are often not included in analyses of fishery management impacts, generally because no data are available. This article utilizes facility-level, cost-earnings data on shoreside processors in the Pacific whiting fishery to describe behavior before and after rationalization in 2011, where 20% of the harvesting quota was allocated to processors. Predicted effects on processors centered on the potential for season lengthening to lead to increased ex-vessel prices and efficiency gains in the use of processing inputs, like labor and utilities. Data show longer seasons following rationalization, with processors paying higher ex-vessel prices as the ratio of ex-vessel to export prices fell. Estimated changes in efficiency match predictions directionally, but are not statistically significant, which may be due, in part, to the limited number of facilities and the range of other factors from which the impacts of rationalization must be disentangled.
The C-terminal actin-binding domain of talin forms an asymmetric catch bond with F-actin
Focal adhesions (FAs) are large, integrin-based protein complexes that link cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM). FAs form only when and where they are necessary to transmit force between the cellular cytoskeleton and the ECM, but how this occurs remains poorly understood. Talin is a 270-kDa adaptor protein that links integrins to filamentous (F)-actin and recruits additional components during FA assembly in a force-dependent manner. Cell biological and developmental data demonstrate that the third and C-terminal F-actin–binding site (ABS3) of talin is required for normal FA formation. However, purified ABS3 binds F-actin only weakly in solution. We used a single molecule optical trap assay to examine how and whether ABS3 binds F-actin under physiologically relevant mechanical loads. We find that ABS3 forms a catch bond with F-actin when force is applied toward the pointed end of the actin filament, with binding lifetimes >100-fold longer than when force is applied toward the barbed end. Long-lived bonds to F-actin under load require the ABS3 C-terminal dimerization domain, whose cleavage has been reported to regulate FA turnover. Our results support a mechanism in which talin ABS3 preferentially binds to and orients actin filaments with barbed ends facing the cell periphery, thus nucleating long-range order in the actin cytoskeleton. We suggest that talin ABS3 may function as a molecular AND gate that allows FA growth only when sufficient integrin density, F-actin polarization, and mechanical tension are simultaneously present.
