Low-Income Families In New Hampshire, Allison Churilla Dec 2006

Low-Income Families In New Hampshire, Allison Churilla

Carsey Publications

New Hampshire boasts the nation's lowest percentage of people living in poverty and maintains strong rankings in other quality-of-life measures. But 48,000 New Hampshire families with low incomes struggle to make ends meet, this issue brief finds. The brief identifies characteristics that heighten families' risk of a lower income and documents recent trends in the economic status of low-income families in the state.

Social Support Indicators That Influence Breastfeeding Decisions In Mothers Of North Florida Dec 2006

Social Support Indicators That Influence Breastfeeding Decisions In Mothers Of North Florida

Florida Public Health Review

To examine whether a mother’s social support system influences decision to breastfeed, pregnant women and women who had children, from six north Florida counties, were asked to participate in this study. Women were recruited from local lactation support groups and agencies serving mothers and children. Participants were administered a 34-item questionnaire that asked about motivation, social support and intention. Mothers breastfed because they believed breast milk was healthier for the baby. These mothers identified the baby’s fathers as being most supportive, but felt they needed more support from the fathers. Interestingly, most women strongly agreed that whereas the support system …

The Influence Of Age On Knowledge And Medication Usage By Persons Attending Rural North Florida Clinics Dec 2006

The Influence Of Age On Knowledge And Medication Usage By Persons Attending Rural North Florida Clinics

Florida Public Health Review

Medication therapy is an important component of the comprehensive treatment plan designed to maintain or improve health. If patients do not take prescribed medications correctly or are non-adherent, less successful therapy occurs. Reasons given for noncompliance include cost, misunderstanding the therapy, side effects, forgetfulness, or a belief that the medication is not effective or necessary. This study had two goals, the first was to evaluate medication use while simultaneously assessing knowledge, compliance, tolerance, and perceived efficacy. Drug-related problems, if any, were also identified. The second goal was to develop methods to improve patient outcomes based upon identified problems. For eight …

Characterization Of Hsp70 Binding And Nucleotide Exchange By The Yeast Hsp110 Chaperone Sse1, Lance Shaner, Rui Sousa, Kevin A Morano Dec 2006

Characterization Of Hsp70 Binding And Nucleotide Exchange By The Yeast Hsp110 Chaperone Sse1, Lance Shaner, Rui Sousa, Kevin A Morano

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

SSE1 and SSE2 encode the essential yeast members of the Hsp70-related Hsp110 molecular chaperone family. Both mammalian Hsp110 and the Sse proteins functionally interact with cognate cytosolic Hsp70s as nucleotide exchange factors. We demonstrate here that Sse1 forms high-affinity (Kd approximately 10-8 M) heterodimeric complexes with both yeast Ssa and mammalian Hsp70 chaperones and that binding of ATP to Sse1 is required for binding to Hsp70s. Sse1.Hsp70 heterodimerization confers resistance to exogenously added protease, indicative of conformational changes in Sse1 resulting in a more compact structure. The nucleotide binding domains of both Sse1/2 and the Hsp70s dictate interaction specificity and …

Caenorhabditis Briggsae Methods, Scott Everet Baird, Helen M. Chamberlin Dec 2006

Caenorhabditis Briggsae Methods, Scott Everet Baird, Helen M. Chamberlin

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Caenorhabditis briggsae is being developed in parallel to C. elegans as a model system, primarily for the study of evolution. Like C. elegans, C. briggsae is a protandrous hermaphrodite and like C. elegans, its genome has been sequenced. From this point, these two model systems diverge. The development, behavior, and physiology of C. elegans have been characterized through tens of thousands of genetic and molecular studies. Genetic and molecular characterizations of C. briggsae are relatively few. Experimental resources in C. elegans include a high density recombination map that is well integrated with the genome sequence. The C. briggsae …

Business School Administrator Writes Book Explaining Idioms For Non-Native English Speakers, Rebecca Lauck Cleary

University of Mississippi News

OXFORD, Miss. - "Kick the bucket," "out in left field" and "hit the sack" may be familiar and understandable phrases to most Americans, but they can seem quite strange to non-native speakers of the English language.

Life Stories Of Nikkeijin Seeking Better Opportunities: The Motivation Of Brazilian Immigrants In Japan, Marisa Utida Bellini Dec 2006

Life Stories Of Nikkeijin Seeking Better Opportunities: The Motivation Of Brazilian Immigrants In Japan, Marisa Utida Bellini

Theses and Dissertations

The immigration of Brazilian-Japanese to Japan has started as recently as the early 1980s as a result of an economic downturn in Brazil and labor shortages in Japan. In a recent study published by the Ministry of Justice in Japan, there are about 250,000 Brazilians currently working throughout Japan. Even though most of the Brazilians are second or third generation of Japanese descent, they are not fluent in Japanese, thus resulting in many cultural problems and misunderstandings. Some research has examined about the immigration of Brazilians (nikkeijin) to Japan, but none has investigated their acquisition of Japanese as a second …

High Tunnel Production Of Lettuce (Lactuca Sativa) And Snap Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) In A High Latitude Location, Heidi B. Rader Dec 2006

High Tunnel Production Of Lettuce (Lactuca Sativa) And Snap Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) In A High Latitude Location, Heidi B. Rader

Plant, Animal and Soil Sciences

Fairbanks, Alaska (lat. 64°49’N) has a short, variable growing season which necessitates alternative growing techniques for reliable vegetable production. Air and soil temperatures, relative humidity, light penetration, and management requirements were evaluated for a double bay high tunnel [15.8 m wide × 3.7 m high × 14.6 m long]. Mean air temperature was 0.5 °C and soil 1.2 °C higher in the high tunnel than the adjacent field, but differences varied with ventilation and heating practices. Yield and growth characteristics of lettuce (Lactuca sativa: ‘Paris Island cos’ and ‘Two Star’) and snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.: ‘Concesa’ and ‘Provider’) were …

In-Cylinder Pressure Based Combustion Performance Evaluation Of Syntroleum Synthetic And Conventional Diesel Fuels, Praveen K. Kandulapati Dec 2006

In-Cylinder Pressure Based Combustion Performance Evaluation Of Syntroleum Synthetic And Conventional Diesel Fuels, Praveen K. Kandulapati

Engineering

Synthetic fuels produced from non-petroleum based feedstocks can effectively replace the depleting, petroleum-based conventional fuels while significantly reducing emissions. The zero sulfur content and the near zero percentage of aromatics in the synthetic fuels make them promising clean fuels to meet the upcoming emissions regulations. However, due to their significantly different properties when compared to conventional fuels, existing engines must be tested extensively to study their performance with the new fuels. The current work presents a detailed in-cylinder pressure measurement based comparison of the combustion performance of a natural gas derived synthetic diesel fuel, supplied by Syntroleum Corporation based in …

A Phenomenology Of Women And Aging: A Communication Perspective, Grace F. Pedersen Dec 2006

A Phenomenology Of Women And Aging: A Communication Perspective, Grace F. Pedersen

Communication

This qualitative study examines the female experience of aging in late-midlife. It involves women between 49 and 70 years of age, who characterize late-midlife years through narratives of lived experience. Their stories provide description of events that introduced or reinforced their sense of self-as-aging, and relate insights gained socially and relationally in the aging process. Conversational interviews, with participant observation of nonverbal communication, were conducted and recorded as my method of data collection, and phenomenological methodology was used in description, analysis, and interpretation of the resulting capta.
