Spaces Of Encounter: The Cultural Labor Of Class Difference, Ardis Cameron Apr 2006

Spaces Of Encounter: The Cultural Labor Of Class Difference, Ardis Cameron

American and New England Studies [Discontinued]

This article explores the complicated relationship between narratives of working-class America and formations of national Otherness. Arguing that class, sex, and ethnicity are deeply relational, it seeks to map the symbolic terrain and emotional depth of class difference as it circulates in the American imaginary. It ask how we might think about the cultural poetics of class difference in ways that make a difference-in ways that register class narratives as participants in constructions of the Nation and the "normal," the irregular and the queer? Attending to the kinds of emotional and conceptual services stories of class perform, it locates "class" …

Individual Psychological Deficits, William Blake Paul Apr 2006

Individual Psychological Deficits, William Blake Paul

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

Traditional psychological theories fail to take into account individual psychological deficits and thus make false conclusions regarding sanity and insanity. These deficits include perception, experience, cognition, and affect. Modified definitions of sanity and insanity require different approaches to treatment of psychological issues.

The Origin Of Bubonic Plague, Alan L. Gillen, Frank Sherwin Apr 2006

The Origin Of Bubonic Plague, Alan L. Gillen, Frank Sherwin

Faculty Publications and Presentations

Although some forms of the bacterium Yersinia are harmless, other forms have devastated human populations, causing a plague of biblical proportions (Psalm 91:3-7, Psalm 91:9-10,). Bubonic plague, also known as the ‘Black Death’ that killed one fourth of Europe’s population in the 1300s, appeared as a great pestilence several times in the Old Testament, including in Psalm 91 and in 2 Samuel 24:14-25. Perhaps the clearest example of such a plague is recorded in 1 Samuel 6:4-19, where there is a specific reference to the tumors on people (bubos = the tumors of lymph glands) …

Antagonisms, Mutualisms And Commensalisms Affect Outbreak Dynamics Of The Southern Pine Beetle, Richard W. Hofstetter, James T. Cronin, Kier D. Klepzig, John C. Moser, Matthew P. Ayres Apr 2006

Antagonisms, Mutualisms And Commensalisms Affect Outbreak Dynamics Of The Southern Pine Beetle, Richard W. Hofstetter, James T. Cronin, Kier D. Klepzig, John C. Moser, Matthew P. Ayres

Faculty Publications

Feedback from community interactions involving mutualisms are a rarely explored mechanism for generating complex population dynamics. We examined the effects of two linked mutualisms on the population dynamics of a beetle that exhibits outbreak dynamics. One mutualism involves an obligate association between the bark beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis and two mycangial fungi. The second mutualism involves Tarsonemus mites that are phoretic on D. frontalis ("commensal"), and a blue-staining fungus, Ophiostoma minus. The presence of O. minus reduces beetle larval survival ("antagonistic") by outcompeting beetle-mutualistic fungi within trees yet supports mite populations by acting as a nutritional mutualist. These linked interactions potentially …

Dbrip: A Highly Integrated Database Of Retrotransposon Insertion Polymorphisms In Humans, Jianxin Wang, Lei Song, Deepak Grover, Sami Azrak, Mark A. Batzer, Ping Liang Apr 2006

Dbrip: A Highly Integrated Database Of Retrotransposon Insertion Polymorphisms In Humans, Jianxin Wang, Lei Song, Deepak Grover, Sami Azrak, Mark A. Batzer, Ping Liang

Faculty Publications

Retrotransposons constitute over 40% of the human genome and play important roles in the evolution of the genome. Since certain types of retrotransposons, particularly members of the Alu, L1, and SVA families, are still active, their recent and ongoing propagation generates a unique and important class of human genomic diversity/polymorphism (for the presence and absence of an insertion) with some elements known to cause genetic diseases. So far, over 2,300, 500, and 80 Alu, L1, and SVA insertions, respectively, have been reported to be polymorphic and many more are yet to be discovered. We present here the Database of Retrotransposon …

Visualizing Paths In Context, Fabio Pellacini, Lori Lorigo, Geri Gay Apr 2006

Visualizing Paths In Context, Fabio Pellacini, Lori Lorigo, Geri Gay

Computer Science Technical Reports

Data about movement through a space is increasingly becoming available for capture and analysis. In many applications, this data is captured or modeled as transitions between a small number of areas of interests, or a finite set of states, and these transitions constitute paths in the space. Similarities and differences between paths are of great importance to such analyses, but can be difficult to assess. In this work we present a visualization approach for representing paths in context, where individual paths can be compared to other paths or to a group of paths. Our approach summarizes path behavior using a …

Compromise Theory : Values, Desires, And Social Structure, Jeremy Stone Briggs Apr 2006

Compromise Theory : Values, Desires, And Social Structure, Jeremy Stone Briggs

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

This thesis is an empirical analysis of a developing criminology theory. The purpose of the data analysis was to, in the theoretical framework of Compromise Theory, examine the connection between micro-level structural conditions (i.e. immediate situational conditions) and individuals' values, attitudes, and beliefs. Compromise Theory assumes that individuals are motivated primarily by their interests and desires and that belief systems and values are among the many long-term interests an individual holds. Compromise Theory proposes that in order to reach a decision of action, an individual will compromise their values and beliefs in varying degrees according to the circumstances and demands …

Comparative Predation On Naturally Occurring Gypsy Moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) Pupae And Deployed Freeze-Dried Pupae, Eric M. Schauber, Clive G. Jones Apr 2006

Comparative Predation On Naturally Occurring Gypsy Moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) Pupae And Deployed Freeze-Dried Pupae, Eric M. Schauber, Clive G. Jones

Publications

Predation is an important factor in the dynamics of gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) populations, yet predation rates can be difficult to estimate accurately in the field. Biased estimates can result from spatial heterogeneity in risk or from artifacts associated with deploying prey. Here we compare predation rates on freeze-dried gypsy moth pupae affixed with beeswax to pieces of burlap with predation rates on naturally occurring live pupae in the same sites. Daily predation rates, primarily by small mammals, were two to eight times greater for freeze-dried deployed pupae than natural pupae, depending on the year. These results indicate …

Talking To Themselves: Autoregulation And Quorum Sensing In Fungi, Deborah A. Hogan Apr 2006

Talking To Themselves: Autoregulation And Quorum Sensing In Fungi, Deborah A. Hogan

Dartmouth Scholarship

Extracellular autoinducing compounds in the supernatants of microbial cultures were first recognized for their roles in the induction of genetic competence in gram-positive bacteria and in the regulation of light production in marine vibrios. In 1994, this form of population-level regulation in microbes was dubbed “quorum sensing” since it enabled bacterial cells to chemically measure the density of the surrounding population. Subsequently, many examples of cell density-dependent regulation by extracellular factors have been found in diverse microorganisms. The widespread incidence of diverse quorum-sensing systems strongly suggests that regulation in accordance with cell density is important for the success of microbes …

Effects Of Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition On The Herbaceous Layer Of A Central Appalachian Hardwood Forest, Frank S. Gilliam, Anne W. Hockenberry, Mary Beth Adams Apr 2006

Effects Of Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition On The Herbaceous Layer Of A Central Appalachian Hardwood Forest, Frank S. Gilliam, Anne W. Hockenberry, Mary Beth Adams

Biological Sciences Faculty Research

Additions of nitrogen (N) have been shown to alter species diversity of plant communities, with most experimental studies having been carried out in communities dominated by herbaceous species. We examined seasonal and inter-annual patterns of change in the herbaceous layer of two watersheds of a central Appalachian hardwood forest that differed in experimental treatment. This study was carried out at the Fernow Experimental Forest, West Virginia, using two adjacent watersheds: WS4 (mature, second-growth hardwood stand, untreated reference), and WS3. Seven circular 0.04-ha sample plots were established in eachwatershed to represent its full range of elevation and slope aspect. The herbaceous …

Rao, Mike B. Miller, Alan B. Weder, Richard S. Cooper, Nicholas J. Schork, Michael A. Province, Alanna C. Morrison, Sharon L.R. Kardia, Thomas Quertermous, Aravinda Chakravarti

Faculty Publications

The application of genome-wide linkage scans to uncover susceptibility loci for complex diseases offers great promise for the risk assessment, treatment, and understanding of these diseases. However, for most published studies, linkage signals are typically modest and vary considerably from one study to another. The multicenter Family Blood Pressure Program has analyzed genome-wide linkage scans of over 12 000 individuals. Based on this experience, we developed a protocol for large linkage studies that reduces two sources of data error: pedigree structure and marker genotyping errors. We then used the linkage signals, before and after data cleaning, to illustrate the impact …

Effect Of Osmotic Immobilization On Refrigerated Storage And Cryopreservation Of Sperm From A Viviparous Fish, The Green Swordtail Xiphophorus Helleri, Huiping Yang, Leona Hazlewood, Ronald B. Walter, Terrence R. Tiersch Apr 2006

Effect Of Osmotic Immobilization On Refrigerated Storage And Cryopreservation Of Sperm From A Viviparous Fish, The Green Swordtail Xiphophorus Helleri, Huiping Yang, Leona Hazlewood, Ronald B. Walter, Terrence R. Tiersch

Faculty Publications

In this study, refrigerated storage and cryopreservation of sperm from the green swordtail Xiphophorus helleri were investigated. Previous cryopreservation research in this species utilized motile sperm because unlike in most fish species, Xiphophorus sperm can remain continuously motile after collection for a week with refrigerated storage. However, this species reproduces by internal fertilization, and given the significant requirements for motility within the female reproductive tract and potential limitations on sperm energetic capacities, immobilization of sperm prior to insemination could be used to improve fertilization success. Thus, the goal in this study was to use osmotic pressure to inhibit the motility …
