Sea Turtle Conservation Program, Broward County, Fl 2006 Report, Curtis M. Burney, Stefanie Ouellette

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Reports

Since 1978, the Broward County Environmental Protection Department (BCEPD) has provided for the conservation of endangered and threatened sea turtle species within its area of responsibility. Broward County is within the normal nesting areas of three species of sea turtles: the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). The loggerhead is listed as a threatened species, while the green and leatherback are listed as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, 1973, and Chapter 370, F.S.

Since these statutes strictly forbid any disturbance …

Neprilysin: An Enzyme Candidate To Prevent Alzheimer's Disease, Salim Sabri El-Amouri

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Alzheimer's disease is named after Alois Alzheimer, the German psychiatrist and neuropathologist who identified it in 1907. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and accounts for at least half of all dementias (Owen et al., 1994). The disease moved from eighth to seventh place among the leading causes of death in 2004, with 65,829 deaths in the United States (Minifio et al., 2006). In an attempt to solve the mystery of this disease, scientists have discovered brain changes in people with AD that lead to dementia. Nerve cells die in areas of the brain that are …

Dual-Hit Hypothesis For Dopamine Neurodegeneration And Motor Dysfunction, Heather Anne Boger

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a trophic factor for peripheral organs, spinal cord, and midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons. Studies have shown that GDNF levels decrease in the substantia nigra (SN) and striatum during normal aging and in patients with Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, exogenous GDNF infusion protects DA neurons against injury induced by 6-hydroxydopamine, MPTP, and methamphetamine (METH). A heterozygous mouse model was created to assess whether a chronic reduction in this neurotrophic factor impacts motor function and the nigrostriatal DA system during the aging process. In this dissertation, two models of dopaminergic loss and motor dysfunction were characterized. …

What Are We Tripping On?: Transgressing The Fault Lines In Research On The Preparation Of Multicultural Educators, Carl A. Grant, Vonzell Agosto

Educational Leadership and Policy Studies Faculty Publications

How do we prepare multicultural educators? The purpose of the chapter is to discuss some of the research in multicultural teacher education that speaks to, and in doing so, participates in the life of this enduring problem. In what direction might other rationales and lines of inquiry lead the research in multicultural teacher education.

Harnessing Innovative Technologies In Higher Education: Access, Equity, Policy & Instruction, Kathleen P. King, Joan K. Griggs

Department of Leadership, Policy, and Lifelong Learning

This publication is an attempt to capture the evolution of distributed higher education over the last decade by tracing the applications of new technologies funded by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). As FIPSE surveyed the current state of distance/distributed education, there existed an opportunity to help post econdary education make the transition to this new generation of distance education made possible by the explosive growth of the Internet and other new technologies. These technologies created the potential for students to access learning that was interactive, customized, and self-paced; to more easily merge lifelong learning with the …

Factors Affecting Nitrogen Losses As Measured Using Forced-Air Wind Tunnels And Nitrogen Mass Balance, Dawn M. Sherwood, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Dennis D. Schulte, Richard R. Stowell

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two experiments using wind tunnels were conducted in conjunction with a N mass balance to evaluate the effect of clinoptilolite zeolite clay on ammonia (NH₃) losses. Ammonia losses were measured using the wind tunnels during the last six weeks of each feeding period and compared to losses calculated using a N mass balance. Nitrogen loss, pH, surface DM and N contents, and soil and surface temperatures were assessed as possible contributing factors. There were no differences in NH₃ volatilization due to dietary treatments. N loss was influenced by date, % DM, surface N and soil temperature. As …

Economics Of Manure Phosphorus Distribution From Beef Feeding Operations, William F. Kissinger, Galen E. Erickson, Richard K. Koelsch, Raymond E. Massey

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

An economic model was developed to evaluate cost and value of manure distribution. A 2,500 head feedlot was used as a case study to calculate excretion amounts from cattle fed diets with a range of phosphorus. Diet P and subsequent costs of distributing that manure were used to analyze the corresponding costs of manure P distribution, in addition to determining the required acres needed to be in compliance with a nutrient management plan (NMP) based on use of manure P by the crops grown. The model illustrated when animals are fed diets of increasing P concentration, total distribution cost increased, …

Statistics Used In The Nebraska Beef Report And Their Purpose

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

The purpose of beef cattle and beef product research at UNL is to provide reference information that represents the various populations (cows, calves, heifers, feeders, carcasses, retail products, etc.) of beef production. Obviously, the researcher cannot apply treatments to every member of a population; therefore, he/she must sample the population. The use of statistics allows the researcher and readers of the Nebraska Beef Report the opportunity to evaluate separation of random (chance) occurrences and real biological effects of a treatment. Following is a brief description of the major statistics used in the beef report. For a more detailed description of …
