Hemodynamic Changes After Aortopulmonary Separation, Ersi̇n Fadillioğlu, M. Kemal Irmak, Murat Yağmurca, Hasan Erdoğan

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The neural crest origin of the aortopulmonary septum has led us to investigate the septum. We designed the present study to assess the hemodynamic changes following aortopulmonary separation in the rat. We freed the ascending aorta from the pulmonary artery by blunt dissection and placed aluminium foil between them in anesthetized, ventilated, open-chest animals and found that the procedure resulted in a slight but significant increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and in an insignificant elevation of the heart rate. The hemodynamic deterioration observed after the separation process might be a result of a possible function of the aortopulmonary …

Dread, Route And Time: An Autobiographical Walking Of Everything Else, Phil Smith

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

This response to Reconstruction's Summer 2002 edition, Volume 2, Number 3, autobiogeography: considering space and identity, particularly to the papers of Matthew Wolf-Meyer and Davin Heckman, Subhash Jaireth, Deirdre Heddon and Sally Munt, is an attempt to establish provisionally whether a discourse that sets critical theory, autobiographical practice and a poetics of space in performative motion orbiting each other can add anything to the critical discussion of autobiogeography. Part of my motivation is an antipathy toward criticism that can be applied to everything but itself. Given that hybridity will be an important part of a critical discourse about …

The Right To A Jury Decision On Questions Of Fact Under The Seventh Amendment, Paul F. Kirgis

Faculty Law Review Articles

In a series of decisions over the last decade, the Supreme Court has reconsidered an aspect of the Seventh Amendment that has been long overlooked: the allocation of particular questions to the judge or the jury in a case where the right to a jury trial applies. Breaking with historical practice, the Court has emphasized considerations other than the fact-law distinction as a basis for identifying the questions that must go to the jury. Most prominently, in Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc., the Court focused on 'functional considerations" in assigning a question of patent claim construction to the judge. In …

Tracking Down The Marrons: Archaeo-Geography Of Marronage In The Caribbean, E. Kofi Agorsah

Black Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations

As the Maroons escaped from enslavement into unknown and inaccessible environments, they relied on their mental maps developed through sequential exploration of those environments to establish and defend their settlements. Initially they would take advantage of the knowledge of the areas surrounding the plantations from which they escaped, explore them thoroughly and then, at the appropriate time, link their escape routes and locations to those mental maps that they had acquired. That knowledge would have helped them to develop networks of familiar pathways and landmarks along, and around which, they arranged their settlements. This paper suggests that knowledge of such …

Experimental Infection Of Telorchis And Echinostoma Trematode In The Green Frog, Rana Clamitans, Jennifer Morphew

Honors Capstones

Two species of trematode common in North American aquatic ecosystems are Telorchis and Echinostoma. These trematodes were experimentally infected in the green frog, Rana clamitans under two different experimental conditions. The first of these investigates the parasitic infection affect on growth rate and activity level of the frog, while the other examines whether vegetation abundance affects the infection rate. Results were largely opposite to hypothesis. In the growth rate experiment, growth rate did not differ among treatments. The stage of development, however, did differ among the treatments, where the Echinostoma-infected tadpoles ended at about 2 Gosner stages more advanced than …

What Archetypes Of Representation Do Children Between The Ages Of Four And Seven Employ When Creating Route Maps Of Familiar Interior Spaces?, Christine G. Price

Educational Studies Dissertations

This study investigated the symbols of representation young children choose to incorporate when they draw route maps of familiar interior spaces, based on the premise that development of map-making skills might unfold in much the same stage-like manner as the development of the ability to draw the human figure. In this investigation, children between the ages of 4 and 7 enrolled in a small independent elementary school were each asked to draw a map showing the route a person unfamiliar to the school would take to travel from the child's classroom to the school gymnasium. Strategies during map-making were noted; …

Book Review Of Letters From The Dust Bowl By Caroline Henderson, Christina E. Dando

Geography and Geology Faculty Publications

The American ‘Dust Bowl’ landscape of the 1930s has been etched into the global imagination through powerful narratives: Farm Security Administration photography (1935–43), Per Loretz’s film, The Plow that Broke the Plains (1936), and John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath (1939). In the last quarter of the twentieth century, historians such as Donald Worster (1979) have constructed their own narratives of this time and place. Caroline Henderson’s Letters from the Dust Bowl, edited by Alvin O. Turner, provides a counterpoint, in the form of a first-hand account and a woman’s voice, to the news stories, government propaganda, and historians’ analyses …

Specific Relief For Ancient Deprivations Of Property, Shelby D. Green

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

I consider in this paper the extent to which courts rationally and on a principled basis can deny to aboriginal claimants, despite the ancientness of their claims, the specific relief of being restored to possession of their aboriginal lands where the case for such specific relief is otherwise made. The paper begins with a brief discussion of the foundations of property in the Western conception, then goes on to discuss the Europeans' asserted title to indigenous lands and the various theories of aboriginal title that have emerged. It then explores the past and existing legal obstacles to the judicial resolution …
