Cooperative Breeding Effects Among The Matrilineal Khasi Of N. E. India, Donna L. Leonetti, Dilip C. Nath, Natabar S. Hemam, Dawn B. Neill
Cooperative Breeding Effects Among The Matrilineal Khasi Of N. E. India, Donna L. Leonetti, Dilip C. Nath, Natabar S. Hemam, Dawn B. Neill
Social Sciences
As a hallmark of our species, mothers of small children generally require and receive help from others in their reproductive efforts of parenting, in what can be called cooperative breeding. This help appears to affect the frequency of births and the success of reproductive efforts as measured by the health and survival of children. The nature of such effects in family systems organized around women and in which women control resources holds interest with respect to the evolution of the human species. The matrilineal Khasi tribe of N. E. India are swidden agriculturalists characterized by low socioeconomic resources and high …

Materials Engineering
Student academic dishonesty, commonly referred to as cheating, has become a serious problem at institutions of higher education. This is particularly true of engineering students who, according to previous research, are among the most likely to cheat in college. To investigate this concern, the authors have undertaken a research project on the Perceptions and Attitudes toward Cheating among Engineering Students (P.A.C.E.S.). The premise of this research is that a combination of pressures, rather than malicious motivations, account for most student cheating. The P.A.C.E.S study consists of a seven page, self-reported survey that investigates: (1) student definitions of academic dishonesty; (2) …

Comparative Phenotypic, Molecular, And Virulence Characterization Of Vibrio Parahaemolyticus O3:K6 Isolates, P.S. Marie Yeung, Micaela C. Hayes, Angelo Depaola, Charles A. Kaysner, Laura Kornstein
Comparative Phenotypic, Molecular, And Virulence Characterization Of Vibrio Parahaemolyticus O3:K6 Isolates, P.S. Marie Yeung, Micaela C. Hayes, Angelo Depaola, Charles A. Kaysner, Laura Kornstein
Biological Sciences
Historically, Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections have been characterizedby sporadic cases caused by multiple, diverse serotypes. However,since 1996, V. parahaemolyticus serotype O3:K6 strains havebeen associated with several large-scale outbreaks of illness,suggesting the emergence of a "new" group of organisms withenhanced virulence. We have applied three different molecularsubtyping techniques to identify an appropriate method for differentiatingO3:K6 isolates from other serotypes. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE) following NotI digestion differentiated seven closelyrelated subtypes among O3:K6 and related strains, which weredistinct from PFGE patterns for non-O3:K6 isolates. Ribotypingand tdh sequencing were less discriminatory than PFGE, but furtherconfirmed close genetic relationships among recent O3:K6 isolates.In vitro adherence …
Dietary Patterns And Prostate Cancer Risk In The Nhefs Cohort, Marilyn Tseng
Dietary Patterns And Prostate Cancer Risk In The Nhefs Cohort, Marilyn Tseng
Kinesiology and Public Health
We examined the association between dietary patterns and prostate cancer risk using data from the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Epidemiologic Follow-up Study. The study population included 3,779 men followed 1982-4 to 1992, with 136 prostate cancer cases identified during the follow-up. Principal components analysis on responses to a lOS-item diet questionnaire in 1982-84 was used to identify dietary patterns, and scores representing level of intake of each pattern were categorized into tertiles. Three distinct patterns were identified: a vegetable-fruit pattern, a red meat-starch pattern characterized by intake of beef, pork, potatoes, and sweets, and a southern pattern characterized …
Combining Behavioral And Pharmacological Treatments For Obesity, Suzanne Phelan, Thomas A. Wadden
Combining Behavioral And Pharmacological Treatments For Obesity, Suzanne Phelan, Thomas A. Wadden
Kinesiology and Public Health
Weight-loss medications are currently recommended for use only as an adjunct to diet, exercise, and behavior modification. Little, however, is known about the benefits of combining behavioral and pharmacological therapies or about the mechanisms that would make these combined approaches more effective than either used alone. This article reviews the effects of adding pharmacotherapy (i.e., principally sibutramine and orlistat) to a modest program of lifestyle modification. Studies revealed that the addition of medication typically improved short- and long-term weight loss compared with lifestyle modification alone. The best results, however, were obtained when medications were combined with an intensive, group program …

Infant Feeding Styles: Barriers And Opportunities For Good Nutrition In India, Patrice L. Engle
Infant Feeding Styles: Barriers And Opportunities For Good Nutrition In India, Patrice L. Engle
Psychology and Child Development
India has the lion’s share of malnourished children in the world. Poverty and social exclusion contribute to this rate of malnutrition, but care practices also play a role.Breastfeeding is rarely exclusive, sanitation tends to be limited, complementary feeding often begins late, and the quantities are small. In the past, government programs have focused on the supply of food rather than caring practices. A research agenda will include both operational research on the nutrition programs, and formative and intervention research to improve caring practices, particularly those around infant and young child feeding.
Species-Specific Identification Of Commercial Probiotic Strains, Marie Yeung, M. E. Sanders, Christopher L. Kitts, Raul Cano, Phillip S. Tong
Species-Specific Identification Of Commercial Probiotic Strains, Marie Yeung, M. E. Sanders, Christopher L. Kitts, Raul Cano, Phillip S. Tong
Biological Sciences
Products containing probiotic bacteria are gaining popularity, increasing the importance of their accurate speciation. Unfortunately, studies have suggested that improper labeling of probiotic species is common in commercial products. Species identification of a bank of commercial probiotic strains was attempted using partial 16S rDNA sequencing, carbohydrate fermentation analysis, and cellular fatty acid methyl ester analysis. Results from partial 16S rDNA sequencing indicated discrepancies between species designations for 26 out of 58 strains tested, including two ATCC Lactobacillus strains. When considering only the commercial strains obtained directly from the manufacturers, 14 of 29 strains carried species designations different from those obtained …
Strategic Environmental Policy And International Trade In Asymmetric Oligopoly Markets, Yann Duval, Stephen F. Hamilton
Strategic Environmental Policy And International Trade In Asymmetric Oligopoly Markets, Yann Duval, Stephen F. Hamilton
Economics
This paper examines optimal cooperative and non-cooperative environmental taxes for the case in which a polluting input is used to produce an internationally-traded finished product. The model allows for terms-of-trade effects under oligopoly and employs a general specification of the environmental damage function that encompasses special cases of local, global, and transboundary externalities. The model has several implications for public finance. For example, inefficiently high environmental taxes may be optimal for a net exporting country in non-cooperative circumstances, as the motive to shift rent by selecting an inefficiently low tax rate is countervailed by the incentive to shift the burden …
