The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that has authority over the security of transportation systems within,and connecting to,the United States. It was created as a response to the September 11 attacks to improve airport security procedures and consolidate air travel security under a combined federal law enforcement and regulatory agency.
Nita Sue Lowey is an American politician who formerly served as a U.S. Representative from New York from 1989 until 2021. She is a member of the Democratic Party. Lowey also served as co-Dean of the New York Congressional Delegation,along with former U.S. Representative Eliot Engel. Lowey's district was numbered as the 20th from 1989 to 1993,as the 18th from 1993 to 2013,and as the 17th beginning in 2013. The district includes many of New York City's inner northern suburbs,such as White Plains,Purchase,Tarrytown,Mount Kisco,and Armonk. She was succeeded by fellow Democrat Mondaire Jones.
The Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS) is a United States federal law enforcement agency under the supervision of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Trichostatin A (TSA) is an organic compound that serves as an antifungal antibiotic and selectively inhibits the class I and II mammalian histone deacetylase (HDAC) families of enzymes,but not class III HDACs. However,there are recent reports of the interactions of this molecule with Sirt 6 protein. TSA inhibits the eukaryotic cell cycle during the beginning of the growth stage. TSA can be used to alter gene expression by interfering with the removal of acetyl groups from histones and therefore altering the ability of DNA transcription factors to access the DNA molecules inside chromatin. It is a member of a larger class of histone deacetylase inhibitors that have a broad spectrum of epigenetic activities. Thus,TSA has some potential as an anti-cancer drug. One suggested mechanism is that TSA promotes the expression of apoptosis-related genes,leading to cancerous cells surviving at lower rates,thus slowing the progression of cancer. Other mechanisms may include the activity of HDIs to induce cell differentiation,thus acting to "mature" some of the de-differentiated cells found in tumors. HDIs have multiple effects on non-histone effector molecules,so the anti-cancer mechanisms are truly not understood at this time.
A luggage lock is a lock used to prevent luggage from opening by accident,usually with little or no security in mind,although the lock may serve as a deterrent to potential thieves. Luggage locks may be built into luggage or may be external locks such as padlocks or lockable straps.
Edmund Summers "Kip" Hawley III was an American government official and business executive who was administrator of the Transportation Security Administration,part of United States government's Department of Homeland Security,from July 27,2005,to January 20,2009. He replaced the previous Director,Rear Admiral David Stone. He was succeeded by Acting Administrator Gale Rossides.
A full-body scanner is a device that detects objects on or inside a person's body for security screening purposes,without physically removing clothes or making physical contact. Unlike metal detectors,full-body scanners can detect non-metal objects,which became an increasing concern after various airliner bombing attempts in the 2000s. Some scanners can also detect swallowed items or items hidden in the body cavities of a person. Starting in 2007,full-body scanners started supplementing metal detectors at airports and train stations in many countries.
gZhon-nu-dpal (1392-1481),also known as 'Gos Lo-tsa-ba was a famous Tibetan historian and scholar,known as the author of the "Blue Annals".
Trusted timestamping is the process of securely keeping track of the creation and modification time of a document. Security here means that no one—not even the owner of the document—should be able to change it once it has been recorded provided that the timestamper's integrity is never compromised.
Zinc finger protein Gfi-1 is a transcriptional repressor that in humans is encoded by the GFI1 gene. It is important normal hematopoiesis.
The Tsa Yig is any monastic constitution or code of moral discipline based on codified Tibetan Buddhist precepts. Every Tibetan monastery and convent had its own Tsa Yig,and the variation in Tsa Yig content shows a degree of autonomy and internal democracy.
Rosside is a small village in Cumbria,England,on the outskirts of Ulverston. The village consists of around 15 houses,all contained in an area of around 600 square metres (6,500 sq ft). Rosside is part of the Ulverston parish,as are the neighbouring villages of Pennington,Swarthmoor and Loppergarth.
Embryonic stem cells are capable of self-renewing and differentiating to the desired fate depending on their position in the body. Stem cell homeostasis is maintained through epigenetic mechanisms that are highly dynamic in regulating the chromatin structure as well as specific gene transcription programs. Epigenetics has been used to refer to changes in gene expression,which are heritable through modifications not affecting the DNA sequence.
Eleni Rossides is a former professional tennis player from the United States.
Ann Mercy Hunt MBE was a British medical researcher and campaigner. She co-founded the Tuberous Sclerosis Association and became a researcher into the tuberous sclerosis complex. Her youngest son died from the condition aged 13. In 1997 the TSC2 gene was identified by a European consortium supported by her organisation.
Gene Rossides was an American football player who was drafted by the New York Giants in 1949. He was a lawyer by training,held political office in several administrations,and was the founder of the American Hellenic Institute. For his success in various fields of government,sports,and journalism,the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs called him "one of the most emblematic figures of the Greek diaspora."

The 1945 All-Eastern football team consists of American football players chosen at the end of the 1945 college football season as the best at each position from teams playing college football at schools in the Eastern United States. The organizations selecting All-Eastern teams in 1945 included the Associated Press (AP) and the United Press (UP).
The 1947 All-Eastern football team consists of American football players chosen by various selectors as the best players at each position among the Eastern colleges and universities during the 1947 college football season.
