Development Of A Travel Web Site On A Corporate Internet, Deborah Prosinski

Theses

In early 1999, the Travel Department of Global Crossing (formerly Frontier Communications) was searching for a better way to transfer information between travel planners and travel counselors. At the same time, the corporation mandated that all departments within the corporation have a presence on the corporate intranet. Both of these goals would be accomplished by designing and developing a travel site on the corporate intranet. The next question was how to accomplish this task. Benchmarking, as well as research, was conducted to determine the best way to develop a travel web site. Courses in web design were taken, and information …

Modeling And Fabrication Of Optically Resonant Periodic Structures, Charles Faisst Jr.

Theses

Optically resonant periodic electrode (ORPEL) structures developed for use as an optical modulator at telecommunication wavelengths using standard microelectronic processes have been successfully fabricated. These structures combine passive optical components (i.e. waveguides, diffraction gratings) with optical and/or electrical excitation, which alters the optical properties of the device. Although the electro-optical effect in silicon is weak in comparison to HI-V materials, a change in the free carrier concentration will cause a change in the effective index of refraction, and can alter the resonance wavelength. Optical test results have demonstrated resonance near 1550 nm on devices with grating pitches ranging from 0.68 …

Analysis Of The Droplet Size Reduction In A Pmdi To The Addition Of A Turbulence Generating Nozzle, Michael Medlar

Theses

Pharmaceutical inhalation aerosol technology has become an important therapy for the treatment of both respiratory and non-respiratory illness. Targeting therapeutic aerosols to the small airways of the lung can effectively treat many of these diseases. Delivery of the therapeutic agent directly to the site of action, for cases involving respiratory diseases, ensures an adequate therapeutic level of the drug is reached, without leading to side effects due to high systemic concentrations. For non-respiratory diseases, the periphery of the lung offers enormous surface area (approximately 100m2) for rapid absorption into circulation. In either case, the appropriate spray characteristics (0.5 um

Lamprey And Oyster River Watersheds River Stewardship Program, Margaret Watkins

PREP Reports & Publications

This project was designed for riverfront landowners and local land use decisionmakers to fill a critical gap in shoreland protection: land management by individual riparian landowners. By working directly with individuals in a hands-on venue, we intended to build a more informed public, knowledgeable about the value of riparian buffers. A better appreciation of the value of buffers not only improves stewardship of individual properties, but also is likely to inspire stronger support for regulatory approaches to shoreland protection. The project addressed several NHEP goals. The approach was to hold a series of public workshops, lead by specialists in water …

Mechanistic Studies To Elucidate The Role Of Lipid Vehicles On Solubility, Formulation And Bioa Vailability Of Poorly Soluble Compounds, Inayet Dumanli

Open Access Dissertations

Lipids have been utilized to increase the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs which resulted in with advent of High Throughput Screening (HTS). Although lipids have been used to improve bioavailability of a few drugs for almost twenty years, they are still not well characterized. There are limited publications about the effects of physicochemical properties of the lipid vehicle, such as class of lipid (i.e. glyceride, propylene glycol ester), fatty acid chain length, MW and polarity on lipid solubility, formulation and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Knowledge of such relationship can improve quick screening of these vehicles. The goals of this …

Particle Formation By Rapid Expansion Of Supercritical Solutions, Chandra S. Vemavarapu

Open Access Dissertations

This body of work is intended to serve as a proof of concept for the application of supramolecular chemistry in drug development. More specifically, this work is designed to evaluate crystal doping by recrystallization from supercritical media. The rapid nucleation and growth implicit to supercritical fluid based crystallizations were tested in doping drug crystals with structurally related impurities. The ultimate motive was to tailor the physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APT) through crystal doping. This, in tum provides the ability to tie functionality to APl's at early stages of drug discovery and synthesis. Methods. The rapid expansion of supercritical …

The Christian Librarian

Have you ever felt cramped? Out of space? Short of room? Working on this issue of The Christian Librarian is a continuation of a theme in my life lately. This is issue is jammed packed with articles and features and ACL Conference information that must go out to readers. There wasn't even room for "pull-quotes" -- those attention grabbing statements that highlight each article in hopes of attracting you to read further, and add an attractive graphic element to each page. We've even added extra pages so there would be enough room to fit it all in.

Reaching Students And Faculty: Offering Instructional Design Services In Your Library, C. Michael Sturgeon

The Christian Librarian

This presentation is to show how libraries have changed over time and become academically responsible for more that handling books, periodicals, videos and the like. As libraries have changed and led in the area of technology on many university campuses, they find that information is becoming more and more accessible via technology of one kind or another; either the internet or CD-ROMs. Libraries have to be involved in the process of education as they have in the past, now is their opportunity to do so by offering a service to instructors for designing the electronic materials.

Putin's Federal Reforms: A Legal-Institutional Perspective, Jeffrey D. Kahn

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

The first year of Putin's presidency proved to be the most concerted and fundamental shake-up of federal relations in Russia since the 1993 Constitution. This paper examines this transition in detail, focusing attention on the legal-institutional aspects of this dramatic shift in policy. First, the end of Yeltsin's 'parade' - of sovereignties, bilateral treaties and special agreements - is examined. Next, attention is paid to Putin's early decrees: 'positive' decrees creating the seven federal districts and federal envoys, and 'negative' decrees that annulled regional laws and legal acts judged by him not to be in conformity with federal law. Finally, …

Physician-Related Determinants Of Cervical Cancer Screening Among Caribbean Women In Toronto, Ilene Hyman, Punam Mony Singh, Marta Meana, Usha George, Lilian M. Wells, Donna E. Stewart

Psychology Faculty Research

BACKGROUND: Minority women in Canada are less likely to be screened for cervical cancer than their counterparts in the general population, despite the fact that the proportion of these women who consult a general practitioner about their health each year is similar to minority women. This study examined the physician and practice characteristics associated with Pap testing and perceived barriers to Pap testing of family physicians serving the Caribbean community of Toronto.

METHODS: A mail-back questionnaire was sent to Toronto family physicians practicing in neighborhoods with a high proportion of Caribbean Canadians.

RESULTS: Although 79.7% of the 64 participating physicians …

Alcohol Use And Perceptions Of Alcohol Use Among Biology, Criminal Justice, Health Science, And Psychology Capstone Students At Grand Valley State University, Rebecca Postma

Masters Theses

This study brought the widely used Rutgers PRSP survey to upper level students in biology, criminal justice, health science and psychology capstone classes in the academic year of 2000/2001. The survey explores student perceptions of their own alcohol use, of their friends’ use, and that of other students. Data from 291 participants reveals gender differences in perception, differences in self-reported drinking habits among the four capstone groups, and differences between this group of participants and their expectations of other students’ drinking. These areas of information along with other interesting findings give important insight into the upper level students of Grand …
