Activity Of An Identified Histaminergic Neuron, And Its Possible Role In Arousal Of Feeding Behavior In Semi-Intact Aplysia, Hillel J. Chiel

Faculty Scholarship

The possible functions of histaminergic neuron C2 were studied in an isolated head preparation from which it was possible to obtain intracellular recordings while the buccal mass exhibited feeding-like responses. Application of food to the lips of the isolated head preparation elicited rhythmic buccal movements that appeared to be ingestion responses, since they moved seaweed into the buccal cavity and towards the esophagus, and their frequency and regularity was similar to the ingestion responses studied in a group of intact animals. The ingestion responses of the buccal mass consisted of 2 main phases of movement of the radula from a …

The Women's Construction Collective: Building For The Future, Ruth Mcleod

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

This edition of SEEDS focuses on a project developed to integrate low-income women into Jamaica's construction industry. In two years, 34 women passed through the project's basic training and skills upgrading courses. More than 90 percent of these women became employed, the majority as masons and carpenters. The story of how this field was identified as a potential source of income for women, and how the project developed and evolved in response to changing circumstances, presents many useful lessons. These should be of particular interest to those seeking to identify employment areas where women's participation is feasible and in helping …

Analyse De Contenu Des Rapports D'Enquête D'Accidents Graves Et Mortels Chez Les Charpentiers-Menuisiers : Résumé, Lucie Mercier

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Les accidents graves et mortels constituent des événements dont les coûts économiques et sociaux sont très élevés. Aussi, font-ils l'objet d'inspection du travail et donnent-ils lieu à des rapports d'enquête. Les rapports d'inspection du ministère du Travail et de la Main-d'œuvre (MTMO) et de la Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail du Québec (CSST) sont exigés par la Loi.

L'objectif de ce travail est d'utiliser les rapports d'enquête d'inspection pour l'analyse des accidents et l'amélioration de la prévention des accidents des charpentiers-menuisiers.

Nous tenterons d'abord de cerner quel est le contenu des rapports, leur contexte d'application …

Phonetic Ambiguity Perception In Reading Disabled And Non-Disabled Children And Adolescents, Elizabeth A. Carter

Theses and Dissertations

There are speculations that disabled readers may fail to correctly decode written words because they are insensitive to language's phonetic form. This insensitivity is presumed by some to be due to a speech perceptual deficit. The purpose of the current study was to assess differences between disabled and non-disabled adolescents and elementary school students in their perceptual accuracy in decoding phonetically ambiguous speech. The effects of two processing factors derived from previous research, priming and word form (e.g., Spencer & Carter, 1982), were also examined to assess how perceptual processes may differ between groups. Clinical evidence of some verbal problems …

Age And Experience Differences In Posture And Movement Of Children While English Horseback Riding At A Walk, Mary Katherine Belissary

Theses and Dissertations

The purposes of this study were to: (1) describe posture and movement of non-disabled children while English horseback riding at a walk, (2) propose a developmental sequence for each of three components of body posture and movement: the upper extremity the lower extremity, and the head and trunk, and (3) describe age differences in posture and movement while riding.

The study was designed as a cross-sectional descriptive study. Thirty children without disabilities: ten five-year-olds who had never received formal riding lessons; ten seven- and eight-year-olds who had received six months or less of formal riding lessons; and ten nine and …

A Study Of Need Achievement Motivation: Motivational Differences In A Private For Profit Hospital Versus A Non Profit Private Hospital Setting, Kenneth W. Mihill

Theses

The subject of need achievement is of prime importance in today's industry . Motivating employees and using the resources the modern corporation has at its disposal have never been as important to industry as they are today . Unmotivated employees cost corporations heavily in terms of absenteeism and loss of productivity , which are then reflected in profits.

This research project concerns whether or not there are different levels of need achievement in a private non- profit hospital organization versus a private investor- owned (for profit) hospital organization . Three groups , each of 20 subjects, were studied . The …

Intimations Of Life: Extracorporeality And The Law, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

This article will study and evaluate the efforts of the state and the federal government to approach the problem of procreational autonomy and to resolve the perimeters of its recognition and application. In order to posit a framework for principled decision making, an analysis of the Australian and British efforts to deal with this problem, respectively, through their Waller and Warnock Commissions, will be undertaken together with a consideration of the famous case of Melbourne's "orphan" Rios embryos where, for the very first time, the issue of excess fertilized embryos was presented.

The thesis to be postulated here is simple: …

Intraocular Lens Implant Image Quality: The Optico-Retinal Interface, David D. Bogorad

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Improvements in intraocular lens implants during the past ten years have revolutionized cataract surgery. Both anterior and posterior chamber lenses are currently in wide use, but the optical superiority of the posterior chamber location has yet to be demonstrated. To do so, a more detailed analysis is required of visual function than is clinically routine. Also required is appreciation that the retina is an integral part of the eye's optical system because of its directional characteristics, which are known as the Stiles-Crawford effect. The optical quality of the pseudophakic eye is affected by the optics of the implant, its centration, …

An Investigation To Improve Linear Predictive Vocoder Pulse/Noise Excitation Models, Elizabeth Annella Martina Effer

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

The quality of synthetic speech from Linear Predictive (LP) vocoders is known to be degraded due to the lack of detail in the commonly used pulse/noise excitation model. In this investigation, it was hypothesized that this degradation is due to the lack of precise timing information in the pulses and to the constraint that each short-time segment of excitation be either an impulse train or white noise. Accordingly, more complex excitation models were implemented using precise timing from peaks in the residual and a mixture of pulses and noise. Since the LP residual is known to be the perfect excitation …
