The Anchor, Volume 118.19: March 2, 2005, Hope College

The Anchor: 2005

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.

The Environmental Kuznet’S Curve, E. Wesley F. Peterson

Cornhusker Economics

All children hope that they will someday make more money than their parents; just as parents hope their children will live more fulfilling lives than they did. These goals imply economic growth for the society as a whole. If the country expands its economic pie, there is more to go around for everyone. But economic growth could lead to excessive use of natural resources and other environmental amenities. If this is the case, there may be conflicts between growth and environmental protection, both of which are important social objectives. Exactly what is the relationship between economic growth and the use …

Family And Consumer Sciences In Higher Education: Common Elements In Undergraduate Curriculum, Susan Lovett

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This study of undergraduate programs was undertaken to create a current portrait of Family and Consumer Sciences programs and to determine whether common ground exists among the various academic units particularly in the area of curriculum content. The thirty four schools having accreditation with SACS and AAFCS were chosen as the population to be studied. Two lists of curricular element categories were created to evaluate the programs: a 28 item list derived from historical categorizations used in professional journals and educational reporting and a 16 item list taken from the national standards for FCS in secondary programs. The subject matter …

Gender Construction And The Limits Of Liberal Equality, Gila Stopler

ExpressO

The article suggests a possible answer to the puzzling question how it is that despite the explicit promise of equality for women present in each and every western liberal democracy, the reality is that sex discrimination persists and is often even legitimated and protected, especially when it is based on religious and cultural motivations. As a basis for its argument the article employs the psychological theories of Carol Gilligan and Nancy Chodorow that describe the gendered construction of the self in western liberal societies, as well as the historical unfolding of the myths of Eve and Lilith, and the patriarchal …

Collagenus Dasysternus, A New Genus And Species Of Dynastinae From Eastern Venezuela With A Key To The New World Genera Of Pentodontini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae), Brett C. Ratcliffe, Martin Hardy

University of Nebraska State Museum: Entomology Papers

Collagenus dasysternus Ratcliffe and Hardy, new genus and species, is described from eastern Venezuela. We include a revised key to the 26 genera of New World Pentodontini. When the second author (Hardy) first saw this Venezuelan specimen in the Henry Howden collection, he could not readily place it to genus. When the first author (Ratcliffe) received the specimen from Hardy for examination in mid-2003, he was immediately taken with its gestalt similarity with the genus Coscinocephalus Prell that occurs in Arizona and Mexico. Unfortunately, there is only one specimen, but our examination revealed such unique character states that were indicative …

The Impact Of California's Changing Environmental Regulations On Timber Harvest Planning Costs, Richard P. Thompson, Christopher Dicus

Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences

The primary purpose of this study is to establish basic and supportable information on the impact of environmental regulations on California’s forest products industry. More specifically, the study focused on the effects of changing forest practice regulations on timber harvest planning and preparation costs. A survey of wood-processing and forestry consulting firms was conducted in the Summer and early Fall, 2004 seeking data on Timber Harvest Plan (THP) preparation costs, a major component of the transactions cost in California’s timber market. Despite the short data collection period, 607 sample observations were obtained. Analysis of the sample data clearly indicate significant …

Science, Judgment, And Controversy In Natural Resource Regulation, (With H. Doremus), A. Dan Tarlock

All Faculty Scholarship

Natural resource regulation is heavily "scientized," by which we mean both that the current regulatory structure requires the use of science in a wide range of decisions, and that decisionmakers generally emphasize the role of science in those decisions. Nonetheless, critics on all sides of the political spectrum claim to believe that regulatory decisions remain too political and insufficiently scientific. Administration of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in the Klamath Basin illustrates the challenges of scientifically managing nature. A series of science-based decisions are needed, from species listing to consultation on federal actions. Those decisions carry substantial costs for the …

A Statistical Framework For The Analysis Of Microarray Probe-Level Data, Zhijin Wu, Rafael A. Irizarry

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

Microarrays are an example of the powerful high through-put genomics tools that are revolutionizing the measurement of biological systems. In this and other technologies, a number of critical steps are required to convert the raw measures into the data relied upon by biologists and clinicians. These data manipulations, referred to as preprocessing, have enormous influence on the quality of the ultimate measurements and studies that rely upon them. Many researchers have previously demonstrated that the use of modern statistical methodology can substantially improve accuracy and precision of gene expression measurements, relative to ad-hoc procedures introduced by designers and manufacturers of …

Nsf Advance: Institutional Transformation For Faculty Diversity - Faculty Worklife Survey Results, Manuela Romero, Ann Q. Gates

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

The The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) received an NSF ADVANCE grant in October 2003 to create an initiative for institutional change with the goal of serving as a model for other institutions that desire to increase the representation and advancement of women, including underrepresented minorities, in academic science and engineering careers. In the first year of the grant, co-PI's Ann Gates and Patricia Witherspoon worked with the ADVANCE Program Evaluator, Manuela Romero, to create an instrument to survey faculty work life at UTEP. The instrument is based on the "Study of Faculty Work Life" survey instrument that …

Work-In-Progress: Evolution And Common Law, Allan C. Hutchinson

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

It is a trite observation that time and tide wait for no one. Canute learned this much to his chagrin. And every other would-be commander or commentator is well advised to remember this mundane wisdom. Indeed, change is one of the few indisputable facts of life. In truly paradoxical fashion, it can safely be reported that change is a constant feature of the world. Whether considered locally or over vast eons of time, change is what makes the world what it is. The central challenge, therefore, for any one who wishes to understand or affect the world, is to come …

The Boundaries Of Contract In A Global Economy; Cyberspace Contracting: Embracing Incomplete Contract Paradigm In The Wake Of Ucita Experience, Saby Ghoshray

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

Here, we are confronted with issues ranging from the enforceability of a contract under the law of the jurisdiction to the limit of the liquidated damage. Let us analyze this a little further. First and foremost, does ordering from the catalog create a contract, even though no intermediate confirmation took place? By clicking the mouse, does the customer become party to an enforceable contract? Because the parties involved in this transaction physically reside in two distinct geographical regions and are possibly governed by two different legal regimes, under what law and to what extent can the offending party be held …

Reduction Of All-Trans Retinal To All-Trans Retinol In The Outer Segments Of Frog And Mouse Rod Photoreceptors, Chunhe Chen, Efthymia Tsina, M. Carter Cornwall, Rosalie K. Crouch, Sukumar Vijayaraghavan, Yiannis Koutalos

MUSC Faculty Journal Articles

The first step in the Visual Cycle, the series of reactions that regenerate the vertebrate visual pigment rhodopsin, is the reduction of all-trans retinal to all-trans retinol, a reaction that requires NADPH. We have used the fluorescence of all-trans retinol to study this reduction in living rod photoreceptors. After the bleaching of rhodopsin, fluorescence (excitation, 360 nm; emission, 457 or 540 nm) appears in frog and wild-type mouse rod outer segments reaching a maximum in 30–60 min at room temperature. With this excitation and emission, the mitochondrial-rich ellipsoid region of the cells shows strong fluorescence as well. Fluorescence measurements at …

Unlocking The Dead-Box: A Key To Cryptococcal Virulence?, Lena J. Heung, Maurizio Del Poeta

MUSC Faculty Journal Articles

The DEAD-box RNA helicases are enzymes involved in many critical aspects of RNA metabolism within both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Several studies have shown that these proteins may have important functions in mediating microbial pathogenesis. A new study in this issue of the JCI identifies the first DEAD-box RNA helicase in the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans and proposes novel roles for this family of proteins in the development and progression of cryptococcosis.
