Neuroanatomical Structure Of The Spinner Dolphin (Stenella Longirostris Orientalis) Brain From Magnetic Resonance Images, Lori Marino, Keith Sudheimer, William A. Mclellan, John I. Johnson

Veterinary Science and Medicine Collection

High-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) images of the brain of an adult spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris orientalis) were acquired in the coronal plane at 55 antero-posterior levels. From these scans a computergenerated set of resectioned virtual images in the two remaining orthogonal planes was constructed with the use of the VoxelView and VoxelMath (Vital Images, Inc.) programs. Neuroanatomical structures were labeled in all three planes, providing the first labeled anatomical description of the spinner dolphin brain.

Why Are We Losing Manufacturing Jobs?, Eric O'N. Fisher

Economics

In the last 50 years, the share of employment in manufacturing has declined in the United States. The main reason for this phenomenon is labor-saving technological progress.

Comparative Analysis Of Coronary Artery Bypass: Costs Of Off-Pump Vs. Conventional Techniques With Variable Bonded Circuits And Drug Strategies, Michael M. Wyckoff

Graduate Research Projects

As baby boomers age, estimated to reach 78.8 million Americans over the age of 65 by 2050, their health care costs are skyrocketing. Increased costs in coronary artery bypass surgery have been linked to length of stay (LOS), the inflammatory response, and blood loss related to conventional coronary artery bypass (C-CAB). Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) has become a popular alternative to C-CAB. Utilizing proximal connector devices has truly made this option "clampless." If detrimental outcomes can be linked to cross clamping, the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may diminish. When the use of CPB is necessary, there are a …

Competing Visions Of The Corporation In Catholic Social Thought, Mark A. Sargent

Working Paper Series

Catholic Social Thought (CST) is coherent body of principles concerning the organization of social and economic life drawing on the inspiration of natural law, Thomism, the Gospel and the tradition of Christian personalism. While valuing the creative energy of capitalism and its contributions to the production of wealth, it is often highly critical of the inequalities generated by capitalism, its tendency to promote materialistic consumerism and capital's devaluation of the dignity of work. While not easily characterizable as "right" or "left", CST thinking about corporate social responsibility and corporate governance has become split between interpretations emphasizing the importance of economic …

Individual And Regional Determinants Of Mammography Uptake, Anita Kothari, Stephen Birch

Health Studies Publications

Background: Analysis of mammography utilization has traditionally been performed from an individual-level perspective. The purpose of this study was to explore the combined influence of individual- and regional-level determinants of mammography utilization.

Methods: Logistic hierarchical multilevel modelling was used to investigate the influences of region of residence and individual characteristics on mammography utilization. Socioeconomic status information about health planning regions was derived from the 1996 Canadian Census. Individual-level information was extracted from the 1996 National Population Health Survey.

Results: After controlling for individual-level education, regions with fewer high school graduates had lower levels of mammography utilization. A cross-level interaction between …
