A Neighborhood Curriculum For Kindergarten And First Grades, Kathy L. Rubin

Graduate Student Independent Studies

This paper is a curriculum study of a school neighborhood designed for children ages 5 through 7. The goal of this study is to provide an opportunity for students, who at this age are beginning to expand outward from the roots of their homes and families, to understand their next immediate neighborhood (their school). They will have a chance to meet people who work in the neighborhood, learn about how we get around and from where things come. And then, from that vantage point the students can begin to broaden their perspective and view of their world.

This study is …

In Vitro/In Vivo Activation Of Angiostatin, Jason C. Anderson

Electronic Dissertations and Theses

Angiostatin is a proteolytic fragment of plasminogen that inhibits angiogenesis. It destroys newly formed capillaries and causes tumors to stop growing, shrink, or disappear altogether. We sought to determine if angiostatin could be produced from plasminogen by urokinase enzyme. We hypothesized that if angiostatin is produced, it could be an inhibitor of endothelial cell growth. To test this idea, plasminogen was purified by affinity chromatography using a sepharose-lysine column. Then, it was incubated with urokinase and 10% sodium azide. In order to produce angiostatin, samples were taken out at different time periods and analyzed on SDS-Page Gel electrophoresis gel designated …

The Influence Of Job Discrimination On The Health Of African-American Males, Jacqueline M. Barnett

Electronic Dissertations and Theses

The goal of the present research was to examine the influence of job discrimination on health. Seventy African American males served as the research participants. The age of the participants ranged from 19-62. The average years of school completed was 12.57. The research included two measures. The Perceive Racism Scale (PRS) and Symptom Checklist 90-revised Scale (SCL-90R). Each of this measures reflect different aspects of psychological distress. The measures were administered in group format, and all participants provided their own answers. Confidentiality of particpants was maintained. The Pearson Moment Correlation showed significant difference between the variables at .01 alpha level. …

Conformational Analysis Of Small Peptides By Circular Dichroism, Toni Bowie

Electronic Dissertations and Theses

Reports on peptides that are rich in D-alanine indicate that peptides with this structural motif adopt a specific secondary structure. In this study, two cyclic tetrapeptides cyclo[Leu-D-Ala], where Xaa is Glu or Lys, was studied by circular dichroism (CD). The conformational stability of these peptides was investigated by varying the temperature, solvent, pH, and concentration of the peptide solutions. When these conditions were varied, the CD measurements in each condition did not produce any significant changes. The CD of both peptides exhibits two positive CD bands at 211 nm and 222 nm and a third positive CD band below 190 …

An Investigation Into The Toxicity Of 1,3-Butadiene And Its Metabolite (Monoepoxybutadiene) On Prostate Cancer Cells, Siobhian M. Bacchus

Electronic Dissertations and Theses

1,3-Butadiene is a colorless, non-corrosive gas with a mild aromatic or gasoline like odor. Manufacturing, transporting and usage are the main sources of l,3-butadiene pollution in the environment. 1,3-butadiene is kno wn to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans and animals. The primary routes of potential human exposure to 1,3-butadiene are inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact. 1,3-butadiene is metabolized in experimental animals and human liver microsomes to epoxide metabolites, initially 1,2-epoxy-3-butene and subsequently 1,2:3,4-di epoxybutane, by cytochrome P450 enzymes. There are significant species differences in the metabolism of 1,3-butadiene both in vivo …

Do Cellular Phones Cause Headaches?, Jasmine Gay

McCabe Thesis Collection

Many people have recently complained about experiencing headaches in association with the use of their cellular telephones. There is much controversy over this subject because it has not yet been proven that the microwaves emitted by cellular telephones cause headaches. The research questions include the following: What are the effects, if any, of the use of cellular telephones on human health? Do they cause headaches? Are they responsible for the increase in size of some brain tumors?

There have been many experiments performed by various scientists in the field of bioelectromagnetics and by the World Health Organization (WHO); however, these …

Influence Of Corn Density On Pig Growth And Nutrient Digestibility, E.L Hansen, G.W. Libal, C.R. Hamilton, D.N. Peters

South Dakota Swine Research Report, 2001

The pricing of corn is baded upon a number of factors including moisture content, test weight, level contaminants, and deterioration of quality. It is understood that high moisture content dilutes the concentration of energy and nutrients. Poor quality because of deterioration during storage and the presence of contaminants lowers the palatability of the ingredient and may have negative health ramifications With less logical reasoning it has been assumed that the feeding value of corn for pigs is related to corn’s bulk density. Low-test weight corn is sold at a discount even if moisture content and quality factors are desirable. Corn …

Serologic Response Of Gnotobiotic Pigs Challenged With Actinobacillus Pleuropneumoniae Serotype 5 Or Actinobacillus Suis Field Isolates, C.C.L. Chase, K. Wright, J. Torrison, L.J. Braun

South Dakota Swine Research Report, 2001

Three studies, a pilot study with conventional early-weaned pigs and two studies with gnotobiotic pigs were completed. The piolot study indicated that conventional pigs could be challeneged with at least 107 colony forming units (cfu) or Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia (APP) or Actinobacillus suis (A suis) without developing clinical signs. No serological response was detected in these pigs. In the first gnotobiotic study, nine pigs were used: 3 control, 3 APP or 3 A. suis. The two groups of challened pigs failed to respond clinically or serologically to the intial callenege of 106 cfu or either APP or A. suis but the …

The Effect Of Diet And Oral Antibiotic Therapy On Immune Function And Productivity In Young Pigs, C.C.L. Chase, D.J. Hurley, R.C. Thaler, T.E. Lucas

South Dakota Swine Research Report, 2001

Medicated early weaning programs have been shown to be an excellent method to control disease incidence in the young pig. Additional research by Dritz, et al1, showed that early weaning at 7-10 days without medication resulted in significant weight gains over conventional weaning at 14-17 days. We were interested in the effects of low levels of conventional water and feed grade antibiotic tratments on performance and immunological parameters of the young pig in a commercial operation. Previously, we had tested this treatment at a research facility and had shown increased production and a decreased polyclonal immunological response in the reated …

Inference For Proportional Mean Residual Life Model In The Presence Of Censoring, Ying Q. Chen, Nicholas P. Jewell

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

As a function of time t, mean residual life is defined as remaining life expectancy of a subject given its survival to t. It plays an important role in many research areas to characterise stochastic behavior of survival over time. Similar to the Cox proportional hazard model, the proportional mean residual life model were proposed in statistical literature to study association between the mean residual life and individual subject's explanatory covariates. In this article, we will study this model and develop appropriate inference procedures in presence of censoring. Numerical studies including simulation and real data analysis are presented as well.

Collaborative Learning Applied To Fieldwork, Ellen S. Cohn, Nancy Robert Dooley

Occupational Therapy Department Faculty Publications and Research

Occupational therapists of the 21st century must be educated to provide intervention within health, education, community, and policy-making areas. Therapists need to solve complex problems, often in collaboration with numerous stakeholders. This article proposes that preparing occupational therapists for current practice requires a fundamental change in our educational beliefs and that a collaborative approach among students and fieldwork educators is most congruent with the interactive environments of current practice. The philosophical principles of collaborative learning are reviewed and practical considerations to apply the principles to Level II fieldwork programs are described.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that persons with disabilities be integrated to the maximum extent possible, and that these persons cannot be excluded from participation. Intramural directors need to be proactive in this area. The benefits of intramural sports are vast, and they help many students become part of the college community.

Forming an alliance with the Disability Services on campus, the first step, is the most vital aspect of making these programs successful. It is important to remember the difference between what can be done and what must be done. Even with the best of intentions, it …
