Expert Source On School Lunch Programs Available For Interviews, Staff Report Dec 2003

Expert Source On School Lunch Programs Available For Interviews, Staff Report

University of Mississippi News

School lunch programs are under fire across the country for serving too much fat, refined carbohydrates and processed foods. According to the Associated Press, critics charge that schools offer too much junk food, rely too heavily on government commodities and don't do enough to educate students and cafeteria managers about healthy eating. The problem often is compounded by tight funding, lax enforcement of guidelines and public apathy.

Studies On The Role Of Foldign Of The Cro Protein In The Genetic Switch Of The Bacteriophage Lambda, Chinwendu Chioma Onwubiko Jan 2003

Studies On The Role Of Foldign Of The Cro Protein In The Genetic Switch Of The Bacteriophage Lambda, Chinwendu Chioma Onwubiko

Honors Theses

The Cro protein plays a critical role in the genetic switch, which governs the life cycle of the lysogenic bacteriophage lambda. Cro is a slow folding protein. The aim of this thesis is to test the idea that the folding rate of Cro has a direct effect on the dynamics of gene regulation in living cells. One way to test this hypothesis is to increase the rate of folding inside cells. SlyD is a peptidylprolyl isomerase that increases the rate of Cro folding in vitro. Strains of E.coli with varying levels of SlyD were infected with the lambda virus and …

Passing The Cluck, Dodging Pullets: Corporate Power, Environmental Responsibility, And The Contract Poultry Grower, Joseph J. Molnar, Thomas Hoban, Gail Brant

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Broiler production is concentrated in a few southem states where farmers are highly dependent on contract arrangements for income and livelihood. Poultry is the first animal industry to industrialize and its model of contract farming has been emulated by other animal industries. Environmental standards are becoming increasingly stringent and many farmers are faced with crossroad decisions about investments in dead bird and manure disposal facilities. Asymmetrical power relationships shift waste management responsibilities to growers in a number of ways. This paper details maneuvers poultry integrators use to avoid environmental risk and transfer it to their contract growers. Corporations "pass the …

The Loss And Persistence Of Black-Owned Farms And Farmland: A Review Of The Research Literature And Its Implications, Jess Gilbert, Gwen Sharp, M. Sindy Felin

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This paper reviews 115 articles and books published since 1971 that comprise almost all of the scholarly research on black farmers and land loss. It provides a general overview as well as discussion of the benefits of landownership for the black community. Several causes of black land and farm loss are reviewed: forced sales due to "heir property," lack of access to government programs, and continuing racial discrimination by lenders and government agencies. A number of the works cited provide possible ways to slow the loss of black-owned land, including strategies to increase the profitability of individual farms and increased …
