Investigating The Urban Heat Island Effect With A Collaborative Inquiry Project, Linda Acha George, William G. Becker

Environmental Science and Management Faculty Publications and Presentations

Modification of the earth's surface through urbanization can have a dramatic impact on local climate. A phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, which is a measure of the near-surface air temperature contrast between urbanized and adjoining rural areas, can be evaluated with readily available instruments. Students in an undergraduate general education science course study this phenomenon in the Portland, Oregon area through a collaborative research project. This inquiry project includes background content and literature review, preliminary studies, development of research questions, experimental design and implementation, data analysis and report writing. This project successfully enables students to collaboratively …

Cauterization Of Inferior Nasal Turbinate For Idiopathic Headache, Qasim A. Khader, Khader J. Abdul-Baqi, Abbas H. Mansour, Faisal I. Mohammed

Neurosciences

OBJECTIVE: Idiopathic headache is a stressful complaint, whose treatment is not well established. Our study is an attempt to examine the relationship between idiopathic headache and inferior turbinate cauterization as a surgical treatment, and to explain the central physiological effect of cauterization. METHODS: Thirty-four patients, 15 females and 19 males complaining of idiopathic headache were treated by inferior turbinate cauterization. Cauterization of the inferior-medial aspect of the turbinate was carried out once under local anesthesia for few seconds. This study was performed between November 1993 and December 1996, a joint project of the Zarka Government Hospital, Zarka and Faculty of …

Pharmacotherapies Of Addiction, Naseem A. Qureshi, Tariq A. Al-Habeeb, Yaseer S. Al-Ghamdy

Neurosciences

OBJECTIVE: Millions of drug addicts worldwide require proper treatment together with good quality care. This article aims to critically review the psychopharmacology of drug addictions. METHODS: MEDLINE was systematically searched for studies describing drug treatment of addictions. Numerous studies were obtained and grouped according to the drug used to treat addictions. RESULTS: Although there are many effective antiaddictive drugs in the therapeutic armamentarium of drug addictions, a great number of patients tend to develop poor drug compliance, multiple relapses, and continue to suffer from chronic addictions coupled with negative biopsychosocial consequences. CONCLUSION: Aside from enhancing the public awareness of the …

Neurosciences

Neurobrucellosis is chronic brucellosis affecting the nervous system. It may mimic many neurological diseases but it rarely presents as polyradiculopathy. Brucellar radiculopathy was diagnosed in 6 patients who presented with weakness of the lower extremities. Five patients had lumbar puncture, 4 had magnetic resonance imaging of lumbar spine and 4 had nerve conduction studies. Five patients had areflexia and weakness; one had areflexia with proprioceptive ataxia. All patients had positive Brucella serology; cerebrospinal fluid showed lymphocytic pleocytosis, elevated protein, normal-low glucose; brucella serology was positive in all specimens. Nerve conduction studies showed absent F-wave in 2 patients and polyradiculopathy with …

Pre-Postnatal Morphogenesis Of Rat Hippocampal Pyramidal Cells, Nahed H. Koura

Neurosciences

OBJECTIVE: To follow-up the morphological changes of the neuroblasts as they develop to pyramidal cell in the hippocampal cerebral cortex beginning from 15 days prenatal and ending 14 days postnatal. Particular metric and numerical estimations of the dendrites developed from these cells were carried out. METHODS: Fifty pregnant rats classified into 5 groups were used to obtain 15 and 18 day embryos; birth, 7 day and 14 day pups. Brains of these animals were processed for histological examination using iron hematoxylin and golgi mixed methods of staining from paraffin sections. Multiplicity and length of the dendrites were assessed. The practical …

Effect Of Nifedipine On Alprazolam - Induced Anxiolysis And Brain Gaba Level Changes In Albino Rats, Suher M. Aburawi, Syed S. Ahmed, Issa E. Amara, Rida A. Altubuly

Neurosciences

OBJECTIVE: The present study investigates the effects of alprazolam (ALP) and nifedipine alone or in combination on behavior and on g-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels, in discrete brain regions of albino rats. METHODS: The anxiolytic effect was studied using a plus maze model and brain levels of GABA were measured using high performance liquid chromatography. Four acute treatment groups of rats were used. In the first they were treated with 1% Tween 80 (1ml/kg), in the second with nifedipine (10mg/kg), in the third with ALP (2mg/kg) and in the fourth with ALP in addition to nifedipine in the respective doses. The …

Ellman's "Why Making Family Law Is Hard": Additional Reflections, Robert Levy

Articles

Not the least of the pleasures of membership in this distinguished group invited to praise Ira Ellman was the opportunity it gave me to renew old and dear friendships with Arizona State faculty members and their spouses, to come back to the scene of my "adjunct visitor" gig last year, to see once again an effective dean whom I greatly admire. More important, the occasion allows me to praise publicly a scholar whose creative thinking, academic writing, legislative drafting and public performances as Reporter for the American Law Institute's Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution I have long respected.

The Awareness Of Social Nudism In Modern Society, Joyce R. Casto

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

In the United States, there currently exists varying perceptions about Social Nudism. Some consider it a form of expression, while others find the behavior deviant or out of the norm and immoral. My paper focuses on a specific group known as the Naturists, the present day term for Nudists, a social culture that engages in complete nudity in a community setting. I chose this topic in an effort to increase awareness of this culture and to expel some of the misconceptions which have existed for many years. I have always been curious about this lifestyle so when the opportunity arose …

One Family's Florida History, Katrina K. Hollon

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

Growing up in a predominately female family, I spent many hours at my grandmother's kitchen table with all my boisterous aunts gathered around. When anyone comes for a visit, my grandmother immediately puts on the coffee and if the group consists solely of female relatives, the tub of nail polish seems to make its way to the table. The smell of coffee and nail polish along with the sound of the sisters' laughter formed the backdrop for many impromptu versions of our family history. A now waning tradition, those times created some of my favorite childhood memories and gave me …
