Correlation Of Human Olfactory Responses To Airborne Concentrations Of Malodorous Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted From Swine Effluent, J. A. Zahn, A. A. Dispirito, Y. S. Do, B. E. Brooks, E. E. Cooper, J. L. Hatfield

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Direct multicomponent analysis of malodorous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in ambient air samples from 29 swine (Sus scrofa) production facilities was used to develop a 19-component artificial swine odor solution that simulated olfactory properties of swine effluent. Analyses employing either a human panel consisting of 14 subjects or gas chromatography were performed on the air stream from an emission chamber to assess human olfactory responses or odorant concentration, respectively. Analysis of the olfactory responses using Fisher’s LSD statistics showed that the subjects were sensitive to changes in air concentration of the VOC standard across dilutions differing by …

Adaptation Of Perennial Triticeae To The Eastern Central Great Plains, Kenneth P. Vogel, Kevin J. Jensen Jan 2001

Adaptation Of Perennial Triticeae To The Eastern Central Great Plains, Kenneth P. Vogel, Kevin J. Jensen

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

The tribe Triticeae contains over 250 perennial species that are components of grasslands in the temperate and sub-arctic regions of the world and includes some of the world’s most valuable forage and rangeland species. Many of these species had not been evaluated previously in the Central Great Plains, USA. A subset of the germplasm of the tribe Triticeae which included over 100 accessions of 55 different species was evaluated in a replicated, space-planted trial in eastern Nebraska during 1994–1996 to determine the survival and forage productivity of the accessions. The evaluated accessions were representative of perennial Triticeae genera and genomes. …

Endophytic Fungi In Canada Wild Rye In Natural Grasslands, Mary Ann Vinton, Emily S. Kathol, Kenneth P. Vogel, Andrew A. Hopkins Jan 2001

Endophytic Fungi In Canada Wild Rye In Natural Grasslands, Mary Ann Vinton, Emily S. Kathol, Kenneth P. Vogel, Andrew A. Hopkins

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Some grasses harbor endophytic fungi living in intercellular spaces in the leaves, stems and reproductive organs. The fungi can dramatically affect the physiology and ecology of plants. For example, fungi may produce toxins that deter herbivores and they may alter the water status of the plant to increase drought tolerance. The distribution of fungal infection in natural plant populations is unknown for many host species. We investigated the occurrence of endophytic fungi in Elymus canadensis L. (Canada wild rye) from 13 remnant prairie sites in the midwest and 23 sites in the southern Great Plains. Collections of plant tissue came …

Bargaining For Loyalty In The Information Age: A Reconsideration Of The Role Of Substantive Fairness In Enforcing Employee Noncompetes, Rachel Arnow-Richman Jan 2001

Bargaining For Loyalty In The Information Age: A Reconsideration Of The Role Of Substantive Fairness In Enforcing Employee Noncompetes, Rachel Arnow-Richman

UF Law Faculty Publications

This article explores the enforceability of employee non-compete agreements, with particular attention to their use in information-based industries as a response to increased worker mobility. Non-compete agreements have long been viewed with skepticism by courts and scholars due to historical concerns about employee bargaining power. This article argues that the current approach to assessing the fairness of these agreements is misdirected. Courts attempt to distinguish proper from improper restraints by looking to whether the non-compete protects an employer interest that is separate and distinct from the employer's desire simply to retain the employee. Such an approach is unworkable in an …

A Comparison Of Ultimate Pullout Strength Of Four Bioabsorbable Tacks, Leslie Haugen Jan 2001

A Comparison Of Ultimate Pullout Strength Of Four Bioabsorbable Tacks, Leslie Haugen

Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pullout strength, both parallel and perpendicular to that tack shaft, of four different bioabsorbable tacks: Suretac A, Suretac B, Bionx A and Bionx B. These tacks were fixated into a foam block and tension was placed on each tack until point of failure between the tack-foam interface. Results were analyzed via the one-way ANOYA and Scheffe's test was used for post hoc analysis. Results indicated that the Bionx B tack withstood the greatest mean ultimate parallel pullout strength with a mean of 292.04 N and failed at a force significantly higher …

Thermal Capsulorrhaphy Of The Shoulder: Literature Review And Clinical Outcome For One Collegiate Tennis Player, Kelsey J. Kean Jan 2001

Thermal Capsulorrhaphy Of The Shoulder: Literature Review And Clinical Outcome For One Collegiate Tennis Player, Kelsey J. Kean

Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects

Glenohumeral joint instability is a clinical problem in both the athletic and general populations. When 3 months of conservative physical therapy treatments fail to stabilize the lax shoulder joint, surgery is indicated. Recently thermal capsulorrhaphy, an arthroscopic procedure that uses a heat probe to shrink redundant capsular tissue, has been offered as one alternative to tighten the lax glenohumeral joint capsule. There are numerous published reports describing the effects of thermal energy on joint capsular tissue, but only a few clinical outcome studies have been published regarding thermal capsulorrhaphy of the shoulder. Some initial reports of this surgical technique seem …

Environmental Audit Privilege Laws: Stripping The Public's Right To Know, Jennifer Lukas Jackson Jan 2001

Environmental Audit Privilege Laws: Stripping The Public's Right To Know, Jennifer Lukas Jackson

Cleveland State Law Review

This Note argues that because the public places a high premium on its right to know, Congress should enact a federal statute that prohibits a privilege for environmental audits. A federal prohibition on a privilege for environmental audits will make the state statutes unconstitutional under the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. This Note has six parts. Part II provides background on the traditional environmental regulatory regime and the role that the public plays in enforcing environmental statutes. Part III is an analysis of some of the typical state environmental audit privilege laws, including a discussion of the major …

Art, Action Research, And Activism At Artpark, Carole Woodlock, Mary Wyrick Jan 2001

Art, Action Research, And Activism At Artpark, Carole Woodlock, Mary Wyrick

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The authors have an ongoing interest in combining local history, culture, and environmental issues as topics for teaching. As newcomers to western New York, we became fascinated with the story of Artpark in Lewiston, New York. High on the edge of the Niagara Gorge, the site of Artpark has a complicated history that has been enlivened by Native Americans, the French, the British, contemporary artists, senators, toxic waste specialists, visiting art teachers, and local students. The passage and effects of time on nature, art, and culture have been an important influence on art production since the beginning of Artpark in …

Cannabinoids And The Immune System, Thomas W. Klein, Catherine A. Newton, Herman Friedman Jan 2001

Cannabinoids And The Immune System, Thomas W. Klein, Catherine A. Newton, Herman Friedman

Molecular Medicine Faculty Publications

The effect of cannabimimetic agents on the function of immune cells such as T and B lymphocytes, natural killer cells and macrophages has been extensively studied over the past several decades using human and animal paradigms involving whole animal models as well as tissue culture systems. From this work, it can be concluded that these drugs have subtle yet complex effects on immune cell function and that some of the drug activity is mediated by cannabinoid receptors expressed on the various immune cell subtypes. However, the overall role of the cannabinoid system of receptors and ligands in human health and …

Too Young To Understand--Extending Equal Access To All Children In Public Schools Regardless Of Age, David Woodcock Jan 2001

Too Young To Understand--Extending Equal Access To All Children In Public Schools Regardless Of Age, David Woodcock

St. Thomas Law Review

Finding the right mix of church and state is not an easy task for our society. This is especially true in our public schools. Everyday, millions of elementary school students meet after school in public school facilities to participate in Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Brownies, and 4-H Clubs. These organizations share the goals of preparing young boys and girls to grow into men and women of good morals and character. Religious organizations that share these goals, however, are denied access to school facilities simply because they have a religious point of view. School districts have told children that …

Gentetically Engineering People: A Jewish Law Analysis Of Personhood, Michael J. Broyde Jan 2001

Gentetically Engineering People: A Jewish Law Analysis Of Personhood, Michael J. Broyde

St. Thomas Law Review

The central theme and thrust of this article is that Jewish law is comfortable with humans as caretakers of nature, even if that entails "correcting" natural genetic flaws, and that the Jewish tradition has a bi-directional definition of humanness, with one being human either by being from a human mother or by being capable of human thought, and that within those parameters genetic engineering is to be treated like any other form of medical treatment, which is proper when used to benefit humanity.

On Genetic Engineering And The Idea Of The Sacred: A Secular Argument, Gregory E. Kaebnick Jan 2001

On Genetic Engineering And The Idea Of The Sacred: A Secular Argument, Gregory E. Kaebnick

St. Thomas Law Review

In short, we need to be able to argue about the sacred. The next section contains a few brief remarks about the general idea of the sacred and whether we can and how we can argue about the sacred. In the remainder of the paper, consideration is given to the more specific appeal to the sacred made in discussions about genetic engineering, and some defenses of that notion.

Islam And The New Genetics, Mohamed Fadel Jan 2001

Islam And The New Genetics, Mohamed Fadel

St. Thomas Law Review

Muslims, along with other people of conscience, have followed the recent developments in the field of genetics with a combination of awe and trepidation - awe at the ability of modem science to plumb ever more deeply into the mechanics of life, but with fear stemming from suspicion that these discoveries and the incipient technologies developing in their wake permitting the manipulation of life will not be sufficiently controlled by the higher moral purposes imposed upon us by God. Nevertheless, with the exception of human replication by cloning,' Muslim theologians across the board seem willing to adopt a "wait and …
