A Feedback-Controlled Dynamic Linear Actuator To Test Foot Withdrawal Thresholds In Rat, Peter Grigg, D R. Robichaud, Geoffrey M. Bove

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Publications

Many experiments performed in somatosensory research rely upon measuring or estimating the force at which an animal lifts its paw in response to a punctate mechanical stimulus. While mechanical stimulators are now available, the vast majority of methods utilize a series of nylon monofilaments (modern renditions of “von Frey hairs” i.e., Wynnes Symmes filaments, Stoelting Corp), each of which produces a characteristic force (Bove et al 2003). The use of these devices is subject to limitations of the accuracy of the devices, as well as experimenter error and bias (Bove 2006; Bove et al 2003; Fruhstorfer et al 2001). These …

Utility And Versatility Of Extracellular Recordings From The Cockroach For Neurophysiological Instruction And Demonstration, Raddy L. Ramos, Andrew Moiseff, Joshua C. Brumberg

Publications and Research

The principles of neurophysiology continue to be challenging topics to teach in the context of undergraduate neuroscience education. Laboratory classes containing neurophysiological demonstrations and exercises are, therefore, an important and necessary complement for covering those subjects taught in lecture-based courses. We developed a number of simple yet very instructive exercises, described below, which make use of extracellular recordings from different sensory systems of the cockroach (Periplanta americana). The compendium we developed provides students with hands-on demonstrations of several commonly taught topics of neurophysiology including sensory coding by neural activity.

Livestock Farmers' Perception And Epidemiology Of Bovine Trypanosomosis In Kwale District, Kenya, S. O. Ohaga, E. D. Kokwaro, I. O. Ndiege, A. Hassanali, R. K. Saini

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

We did cross-sectional surveys in Kwale District, Kenya to determine the epidemiology of bovine trypanosomosis and livestock owners' perceptions of the disease. The surveys involved relative importance of trypanosomosis, examination of the current disease constraints, current control practices and drug-use patterns. Informal meetings were held with farmers and cattle census undertaken. Tsetse-fly densities and trypanosomosis prevalences in cattle were determined. A total of 132 farmers were interviewed. Trypanosomosis, anaplasmosis, East Coast fever, foot-and-mouth diseases were reported to be the major constraints to livestock production. Trypanosomosis was the most important compared to other diseases. Chemotherapy was the most widely used method …

Alternative Targets For The Treatment Of Stroke, Craig T. Ajmo Jr.

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Stroke is cerebrovascular injury that has been reported to be the third leading cause of death and the first leading cause of disability in the world (W. H.O. 2007). Currently, there is only one FDA approved treatment for stroke which is recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. This treatment has a narrow therapeutic window of three hours after ischemic stroke and can adversely cause the production of oxygen free radicals and intracranial hemorrhage. These limitations result in only 2-3% of all stroke victims as being candidates for this therapy as many patients do not arrive at the hospital in time to receive …

Access To Global Information—A Case Of Digital Divide In Bangladesh, Anisur Rahman

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

ICTs can reduce communication costs and break down geographical borders. In the developed nations government policies are being established which attempt to ensure that all citizens will get the opportunity to access the effective use of ICTs in order to enable them to participate in the educational, social and economic activities and democratic processes. Developed countries are getting much benefit from the advancement of ICTs. There is digital divide between developed and developing countries. The term digital divide has been applied to the gap that exists in most countries between those with ready access to the tools of ICTs, and …

Meeting Report: The Role Of Environmental Lighting And Circadian Disruption In Cancer And Other Diseases, Richard G. Stevens, David E. Blask, George C. Brainard, Johnni Hansen, Steven W. Lockley, Ignacio Provencio, Mark S. Rea, Leslie Reinlib

Department of Neurology Faculty Papers

Light, including artificial light, has a range of effects on human physiology and behavior and can therefore alter human physiology when inappropriately timed. One example of potential light-induced disruption is the effect of light on circadian organization, including the production of several hormone rhythms. Changes in light-dark exposure (e.g., by nonday occupation or transmeridian travel) shift the timing of the circadian system such that internal rhythms can become desynchronized from both the external environment and internally with each other, impairing our ability to sleep and wake at the appropriate times and compromising physiologic and metabolic processes. Light can also have …

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder In The Classroom: Practical Strategies For Teaching To Student Strengths, Lisa Kreutz

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in the Classroom: Practical Strategies for Teaching to Student Strengths This project discusses the necessity of differentiated classroom instruction based on the educational and learning needs of students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Current estimates suggest that as many as 2 million school age students in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD. A student with ADHD can be inattentive, hyperactive, and/or impulsive in his/her behaviors. With consideration for these behaviors and actions, this project identifies appropriate classroom instructional practices, which are based on the modifications and differentiation necessary for teaching students with ADHD. …

Enabling International Access To Scientific Data Sets: Creation Of The Distributed Data Curation Center (D2c2), James L. Mullins

Libraries Research Publications

The challenge of accessing, maintaining, sharing and preserving massive datasets, generally referred to as data curation, has been a direct result of computational e-science. Although scientists and engineers recognized the problem, the solution was not apparent. The principles that underlay library science are not widely understood or appreciated by those outside librarianship. The theory and principles behind librarianship are obscured by historical application primarily to print materials – books and journals – however, the same principles that apply to organization, retrieval, and preservation of print materials apply to the digital realm as well.

Facilitating The Deposit Of Experimental Chemistry Data In Institutional Repositories: Project Spectra, Peter Morgan, Jim Downing, Peter Murray-Rust, Alan Tonge, Fiona Cotterill, Henry Rzepa, Lorraine Windsor

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Institutional Open Access repositories are becoming established as an important part of the university library and information services infrastructure. While early efforts to populate them with content have concentrated on the deposit of peer-reviewed research papers, there is a growing awareness of their potential as repositories of data and other non-text materials, and consequently a need to develop strategies and procedures that can realise this potential. Chemistry as a discipline has been slower than the physical and biomedical sciences to adopt and exploit Open Access concepts in the handling of experimental data and research publications. Chemical information is essential to …

Can Organic Agriculture Feed The World?, Catherine Badgley, Ivette Perfecto, Kenneth Cassman , Responder, Jim Hendrix , Responder

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

During the past 30 years there has been a steady decrease in funding allocated to agricultural research in both developed and developing countries because of the widespread view that food insecurity is primarily caused by poverty and a lack of purchasing power rather than the inability to produce enough food. However, these views are being challenged by three global mega-trends: (1) a steady decrease in arable land area suitable for intensive food crop production as a result of farmland conversion to urban, industrial and recreational uses, (2) a steady reduction in the relative rate of yield gain for the major …

Perspectives On An Arts Magnet School : The Voices Of Elementary School Children, Denise Robles-Torres

Dissertations and Theses

Since the beginning of public school as a social institution early in the nineteenth century, the voices of children have been missing from the discussion about school. From the progressive era to the current standards based movement, structures of education have been premised on the ideas of what adults think are the best ways for children to learn. But educators and other adults are recognizing the importance of student perspectives by providing children opportunities to participate in critical reflection about school. By including children of all ages in this discussion, educators, policy makers and researchers may begin to examine their …
