Training Examiners For A National Epidemiological Survey Of Oral Mucosal Lesions, R.B. Zain, I.A. Razak, N. Ikeda, T. Axã©Ll, M.C. Downer Dec 1996

Training Examiners For A National Epidemiological Survey Of Oral Mucosal Lesions, R.B. Zain, I.A. Razak, N. Ikeda, T. Axã©Ll, M.C. Downer

Pre-2000

Ensuring the validity and reliability of data collected in epidemiological surveys is an important consideration. The purpose of the present report is to describe a training and calibration programme for 16 examiners taking part in a national survey of oral mucosal lesions and to present an evaluation of the results. The programme included the distribution of a pictorial manual to participants and a series of lectures followed by three diagnostic sessions, two using slides and the last involving patients. At the final session, the trainees classified 88 per cent of 16 patients correctly in comparison with the definitive diagnoses of …

Spheromak Experiment Using Separate Guns For Formation And Sustainment, Michael R. Brown, A. Martin Dec 1996

Spheromak Experiment Using Separate Guns For Formation And Sustainment, Michael R. Brown, A. Martin

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Works

An experiment is described that incorporates the use of separate magnetized plasma guns for formation and sustainment of a spheromak. It is shown that energy coupling efficiency approaches unity if the gun and spheromak are of comparable size. A large gun should be able to operate at lower current and therefore lower voltage. In addition, it is expected that a gun matched to the size of the spheromak will cause less perturbation to the equilibrium. It is proposed to use a smaller gun for spheromak formation and a large, efficient gun for sustainment. The theoretical basis for the experiment is …

The Relationship Between The Resistance Of A Membrane Patch And Predicted Changes In Total Patch Circuit Resistance Secondary To Spontaneous Or Induced Alterations In Patch Geometry, C. George Carlson Dec 1996

The Relationship Between The Resistance Of A Membrane Patch And Predicted Changes In Total Patch Circuit Resistance Secondary To Spontaneous Or Induced Alterations In Patch Geometry, C. George Carlson

All KCOM Faculty Publications

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the magnitude of the membrane resistance in the free area of a cell-attached patch-clamp recording and the change in total patch circuit resistance that would be produced by the introduction of a series resistance, such as would be observed upon acquiring a patch-clamped membrane vesicle. The results describe a method for determining the magnitude of the membrane resistance in the free area of a membrane patch, and demonstrate that: (a) at a given value of shunt resistance, areas of membrane with higher resistivity produce smaller proportional increases in total …

Expression Of Α4Β1 Integrin On Tissue Eosinophils In The August Rat, John C. Phipps Dec 1996

Expression Of Α4Β1 Integrin On Tissue Eosinophils In The August Rat, John C. Phipps

Masters Theses

The integrin α4β1 is expressed on a wide variety of peripheral leukocytes, and functions in recruitment of these cells to sites of inflammaiton. We infected august (AUG) rats with the helminth parasite Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and later used leukocytes from the peritoneum of the sensitized animals and antibodies against α4β1 integrin to localize that adhesion molecule on the cell surfaces after antigen challenge. We found that after antigen challenge, eosinophils, monocytes, and small lymphocytes, but not mast cells, expressed α4β1 integrin if the animals had been previously infected, but cells from uninfected animals did not show expression of this molecule. Our …

Angle-Resolved X-Ray Circular And Magnetic Circular Dichroisms: Definitions And Applications, Sy Y. Tong, X. Q. Guo, James G. Tobin, George Daniel Waddill Dec 1996

Angle-Resolved X-Ray Circular And Magnetic Circular Dichroisms: Definitions And Applications, Sy Y. Tong, X. Q. Guo, James G. Tobin, George Daniel Waddill

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We introduce definitions of angle-resolved x-ray circular dichroism (ARXCD) and magnetic x-ray circular dichroism (ARMXCD). As defined, the much larger effect of circular dichroism (ARXCD) is separated from the smaller magnetic (ARMXCD) effect. In all materials, ARXCD is zero along mirror planes while nonzero elsewhere. ARMXCD is nonzero only in magnetic materials. The measurement and analysis of ARMXCD allow element specific surface magnetism and surface structure as well as their inter-relationship to be studied as functions of the outgoing electron's direction.

Tecumapese: Of Shooting Stars And Crying Loons, Ruth Yellowhawk Dec 1996

Tecumapese: Of Shooting Stars And Crying Loons, Ruth Yellowhawk

University of Dayton Review

Tecumapese, also known as Menewaulakoosee, Shooting Star, was the daughter of Methotasa of the Cherokee nation and Pucksinwah of the Kispokotha or "warrior" clan of the Shawnee Nation. She was born in 1758, ten years before her brother, the powerful Shawnee leader Tecumseh, The Panther Crossing Across the Sky, so named for the meteor that split the heavens north to south upon his birth. Tecumseh's name lives on in our popular culture thanks primarily to the works of historian Allan Eckert and James Alexander Thorn, the on-going outdoor drama Tecumseh! performed each summer at the Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheater in Chillicothe, …

Dorothy Wordsworth: A Natural Life, Laura H. Yungblut Dec 1996

Dorothy Wordsworth: A Natural Life, Laura H. Yungblut

University of Dayton Review

Englishwoman Dorothy Wordsworth (1771-1855) could be—and has been by some—dismissed as one of those figures in literary history whose only importance lies in shedding light on another, more illustrious figure, in this case, her brother, Romantic poet William Wordsworth. Undeniably, had we the opportunity to ask Dorothy about her significance, she would probably assess the value of her life in terms of her relationships to her brother and the rest of her family. Dorothy's life, however, can also be characterized as a rare embodiment of an ideal-as the "child of Nature" so idealized by Romantic writers. Her "natural life" and …

How Theodore Roosevelt Began The Salvation Of The Earth, Francis J. Henninger Dec 1996

How Theodore Roosevelt Began The Salvation Of The Earth, Francis J. Henninger

University of Dayton Review

Though he himself would have enjoyed and perhaps sanctioned the title of this article, it is somewhat exaggerated. We know of peoples whose respect for earth makes them models for us of the kinds of conceptualization of our natural resources that we must strengthen and propagate if we are to increase the probability that this planet will be hospitable and adequate to our descendants. Those people existed long before Roosevelt. Even in his own day others (whom Roosevelt would himself have pointed to) worked hard to alert their fellow humans to the dangers of resource waste, abuse and overuse. Nevertheless, …

Dixy Lee Ray: A Life In Science And Nature, Janet R. Daly Bednarek Dec 1996

Dixy Lee Ray: A Life In Science And Nature, Janet R. Daly Bednarek

University of Dayton Review

Dixy Lee Ray, in some ways, grew up with the twentieth century. Born in 1914, her childhood coincided with the early years of the mass production automobile, airplanes, and home electricity. She remembered when her family bought their first free-standing table lamp (1922) and her chores as a young child included emptying the "drip pan" of the family's ice box. Fresh fruits and vegetables were seasonal, at best, and viewed as rare treats. In the world into which she was born, infectious childhood diseases, such as whooping cough, measles, diphtheria, and polio, were facts of life. By the time she …

Personal Perspectives On The Relations Between Humans And Nature, Ralph R. Frasca Dec 1996

Personal Perspectives On The Relations Between Humans And Nature, Ralph R. Frasca

University of Dayton Review

In academe we are rarely asked for our personal perspectives. Our colleagues prefer academic perspectives. These should reflect our considered judgment given the accepted methodology and current mainstream academic thinking. A "personal" perspective implies a release from constraints that is both liberating and scary. At a younger age I might have taken advantage of this freedom by reflecting on the romantic relationship between humans and nature. At my current age, however, I am like the bird who returns to its gilded cage. My personal perspective is the perspective of my discipline. My view of the relationship between humans and nature …

Alienation From Nature And Men's Search For Identity, Brian Luke Dec 1996

Alienation From Nature And Men's Search For Identity, Brian Luke

University of Dayton Review

Nature exists only by contrast with a counterpart. The counterpart to the natural is, depending on the context, the spiritual, the cultural, the rational, the artificial. A human society becomes alienated from nature by defining a nature/non-nature contrast and identifying with or aspiring to the non-natural realm. The alienated worldview holds that the best parts of ourselves are not natural, that we do not properly belong to nature, that our highest achievement is to escape or transcend nature.

Personal Reflections On Humans And Nature, John S. Putka S.M. Dec 1996

Personal Reflections On Humans And Nature, John S. Putka S.M.

University of Dayton Review

Being both a priest and a political scientist, I believe that these two disciplines provide a unique nexus for placing into proper perspective the place of human beings in nature. There have been many theories which have sought to describe this relationship with accuracy, but, by definition, they remain only theories. I would like to offer a brief summary of the major theories, then offer my own analysis of their comparative validity, in the hope that this will help both to focus our discussion and stimulate intellectual exchange during this symposium.

Teaching Time Preference And Human Impatience: The Billionaire Game, Stephen M. Miller Dec 1996

Teaching Time Preference And Human Impatience: The Billionaire Game, Stephen M. Miller

Economics Working Papers

The Billionaire Game involves students in discussing time preference, or what Fisher (1930) calls human impatience. The game can facilitate the introduction of the material on present value and discounting or discussions on such issues as investment in human capital and the intertemporal consumption-saving decision. Thus, the game can facilitate discussions in a number of economics courses.
