Dying In America - An Examination Of Policies That Deter Adequate End-Of-Life Care In Nursing Homes, Diane E. Hoffmann, Anita J. Tarzian

Faculty Scholarship

This article examines current health care policies and government practices that deter appropriate end-of-life care, focusing on the use of hospice services for dying nursing home patients. The authors conclude that hospice and nursing home regulations, reimbursement for hospice and nursing homes, and enforcement of the fraud and abuse rules collude to “chill” utilization of hospice by nursing homes and result in inadequate end-of-life care for many nursing home patients. They argue that these policies and practices have at their roots a number of questionable assumptions and call for a shift in existing paradigms affecting care to this group and …

Intermediary Metabolism And Life History Trade-Offs: Lipid Metabolism In Lines Of The Wing-Polymorphic Cricket, Gryllus Firmus, Selected For Flight Capability Vs. Early Age Reproduction, Anthony J. Zera

Anthony Zera Publications

The extent to which modifications in intermediary metabolism contribute to life history variation and trade-offs is an important but poorly understood aspect of life history evolution. Artificial selection was used to produce replicate genetic stocks of the wing-polymorphic cricket, Gryllus firmus, that were nearly pure-breeding for either the flight-capable (LW[f]) morph, which delays ovarian growth, or the flightless (SW) morph, which exhibits enhanced early-age fecundity. LW(f) lines accumulated substantially more triglyceride, the main flight fuel in Gryllus, compared with SW-selected lines, and enhanced accumulation of triglyceride was strongly associated with reduced ovarian growth. Increased triglyceride accumulation in LW(f) lines resulted …

2001-2010

On the Green is an internal publication of Gallaudet College, which later became Gallaudet University. It notified employees of updates around the campus and in the broader community, including new construction and the establishment of new academic programs. Running until 2010, it was supplanted by various forms of online mass communications across multiple audiences.

James Clerk Maxwell And Why Read Biographies, Sean Bird

Why do we read about the lives of others? This paper discusses the value of reading biographies and examines the life of physicist-mathematician James Clerk Maxwell.

Epigenetic Transgenerational Actions Of Endocrine Disruptors And Male Fertility, Matthew D. Anway, Andrea S. Cupp, Mehmet Uzumcu, Michael K. Skinner

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Transgenerational effects of environmental toxins require either a chromosomal or epigenetic alteration in the germ line. Transient exposure of a gestating female rat during the period of gonadal sex determination to the endocrine disruptors vinclozolin (an antiandrogenic compound) or methoxychlor (an estrogenic compound) induced an adult phenotype in the F₁ generation of decreased spermatogenic capacity (cell number and viability) and increased incidence of male infertility. These effects were transferred through the male germ line to nearly all males of all subsequent generations examined (that is, F₁ to F₄). The effects on reproduction correlate with altered DNA …

Adaptive Chaos: Mild Disorder May Help, Alexander Golbin, Alexander Umantsev

Chemistry and Physics Faculty Working Papers

We have qualitatively analyzed different cases of human disorders and displacement activities of animals and hypothesize that some of them are examples of low-dimensional dynamical chaos in biological organisms. We also considered a biological organism in the framework of the control system theory and found that chaotic regime in one subsystem may be compensating for the loss of chaos in another subsystem for the sake of stability of the whole system. According to the hypothesis chaotic behavior of different organs sets in a human body as an alternative to serious diseases or even death. The principle of compensation was applied …

Interview With Dr. Erich Blossey, Erich Blossey, Wenxian Zhang

Oral Histories

Erich Blossey came to Rollins College in 1965 to teach chemistry. During his years with Rollins College, he has participated in numerous research projects as well as been an active professor of chemistry.

Blossey was born in Toledo Ohio. As an undergraduate, Blossey attended Ohio State, where he received his B.S. in 1957. In 1959, Blossey received his M.S. at Iowa State, and then in 1963, he received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now called Carnegie Mellon University).

During his time at Rollins College, Blossey has been awarded the following honors: Arthur Vining Davis Fellowship …

Synthesis And Characterization Of Azole Isoflavone Inhibitors Of Aromatase, John C. Hackett, Young Woo Kim, Bin Su, Robert W. Brueggemeier

Chemistry Faculty Publications

The synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of 2-azole and 2-thioazole isoflavones as potential aromatase inhibitors are described. Differences in inhibitory activity of triazole and imidazole inhibitors are rationalized with density functional theory to expose a key difference in the electronic structure of these molecules. In addition, difference binding spectra of inhibitors to immunoaffinity-purified aromatase produces classical Type II spectra consistent with coordination of the nitrogen lone pair electrons to the aromatase P450 heme.

Nato Counterterrorism And Article 5: Hammer Of The North Atlantic Or Paper Tiger?, David D. Ayliffe

ExpressO

This paper concerns the development of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's counterterrorism program. It seeks to analyze the legal implications of this development and the program's potential effectiveness. Specifically, the paper asserts that NATO's counterterrorism program is consistent with the drafting history of the North Atlantic Treaty and that Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty is sufficiently flexible to support future NATO counterterrorism missions.

Effects Of Flight Behaviour On Body Temperature And Kinematics During Inter-Male Mate Competition In The Solitary Desert Bee Centris Pallida, Stephen P. Roberts

Biological Sciences Faculty Research & Creative Works

Body Temperatures and Kinematics Are Measured for Male Centris Pallida Bees Engaged in a Variety of Flight Behaviors (Hovering, Patrolling, Pursuit) at a Nest Aggregation Site in the Sonoran Desert. the Aim of the Study is to Test for Evidence of Thermoregulatory Variation in Convective Heat Loss and Metabolic Heat Production and to Assess the Mechanisms of Acceleration and Forward Flight in Field Conditions. Patrolling Males Have Slightly (1-3°C) Cooler Body Temperatures Than Hoverers, Despite Similar Wingbeat Frequencies and Larger Body Masses, suggesting that Convective Heat Loss is Likely to Be Greater during Patrolling Flight Than during Hovering. Comparisons of …

A Perception Based, Domain Specific Expert System For Question-Answering Support, Raheel Ahmad, Shahram Rahimi

Computer Science Publications

The ability to search has become an integral part of our interaction with technology. However, the current search technologies mostly use a keyword based searching mechanism, which does not have any deductive abilities. The recent introduction of the idea of Computing with Words, which can give deduction abilities to existing technologies, provides a new base for developing frameworks. This paper proposes implementation of a domain specific Fuzzy Expert System based on a question-answer system, which employs Computing with Words. In order to perform the translation of natural language sentences into a standard format, Probabilistic Context-Free Grammar is used.

Case 3314: Stegopterus Burmeister & Schaum, 1840 And Trichiotinus Casey, 1915 (Insecta, Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae): Proposed Conservation, Andrew Smith

University of Nebraska State Museum: Entomology Papers

The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the names of two well-established genera of cetoniine scarab beetles, Stegopterus Burmeister & Schaum, 1840 and Trichiotinus Casey, 1915. Stegopterus Burmeister & Schaum is a junior synonym of Tetrophthalmus Kirby, 1827 and Trichiotinus Casey a junior synonym of Trichinus Kirby, 1827. The two junior names are in prevailing use and it is proposed that they be conserved by suppression of both Kirby's names.
