Effects Of Endogenous Androgens On Pulmonary Microvascular Reactivity, James D. Dells

McNair Scholars Journal

Previous studies involving large isolated pulmonary arteries have suggested that the administration of high concentrations of natural androgen produces acute vasodilation. This study examines the acute effects of testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), observed previously in large arteries, in small pulmonary arteries (SPA). Isolated segments of SPA taken from the lungs of Sus domestica (n = 4, mean outside diameter = 313 ± 26 μm) were doubly cannulated and perfused with physiologic saline solution (PSS). The vessels were also simultaneously superfused in PSS and pressurized to 17mmHg. After a period of equilibration, the observed trend of the SPA to both …

Evaluating Short-Term Tourism Economic Effects In Confined Economies: Conceptual And Empirical Considerations, Robertico Croes, Denver E. Severt

Rosen Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Given the necessary involvement of government with the tourism product, accountability for government's expenditures of tax dollars is of increasing importance. This paper discusses the literature for three types of analyses that governments can use to ascertain the effectiveness of their spending of tax dollars to promote a tourism destination. The shortcomings and benefits for each method are discussed. Conclusions based on the type of method chosen require that the user understand the specific context, time horizon and their need for the study. For the case study presented in this paper, the context of a confined area, the time horizon …

Addressing Sensitive Issues Through Picture Books, Dorothy N. Bowen, Melissa Schutt

Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship

It was a Wednesday morning, and the class of pre-service elementary teachers was discussing sensitive topics in children's picture books. Melissa had prepared several tables with representative literature dealing with topics such as divorce, adoption, sexuality, religion, and death, and students were reading and discussing the books. Suddenly Dorothy noticed a student clutching one of the books to her chest and smiling. Dorothy walked over to her and the student said, "I love this book. There were no books like this when I was a little girl."

The Effects Of Chronic Nitrogen Application On A Mature Tallgrass Prairie Restoration And Nitrogen Mobilization Into Above-Ground Biomass Of Andropogon Gerardii, Ann M. (O'Neill) Ebert

Master of Environmental Science (MES) Theses

The Upland Prairie Restoration was initiated on a 25-acre old field in 1993 in Upland, Indiana. It has matured into a community dominated by Andropogon gerardii and forbs, Monarda fistulosa and Ratibida pinnata. Prior research on the site found that acute nitrogen enrichment promoted weed cover in early stages of establishment and inhibited the establishment of native prairie species. This current study examined the effects of nitrogen enrichment applied to a mature prairie restoration. In 2002, a complete randomized block design experiment was implemented with annual enrichment using nitrogen-urea fertilizer at 4 levels – 0g/m2, 5g/m2, 10g/m2, and 20g/m2. …

Images For Iconoclasts: Images Of Confucius In The Cultural Revolution, Deborah A. Sommer (司馬黛蘭)

Religious Studies Faculty Publications

Confucius died and was buried in 479 B.C.E., and he was never seen again. Or so one would think. “You may forget me as I once was,” Confucius reminds us in the Zhuangzi, "but there is something unforgettable about me that will still live on." Confucius’s physical frame was concealed from sight below ground, but his body and face were not forgotten either by his followers or his detractors, each of whom remembered him (or remembered him) in different ways. People created semblances of Confucius that reflected their own visions of the past, and constructions of his body took on …

We report the first trial of candidate malaria vaccine antigen FMP1, a 42 kDa fragment from the C-terminus of merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP-1) from the 3D7 strain of Plasmodium falciparum, in an endemic area. Forty adult male and female residents of western Kenya were enrolled to receive 3 doses of either FMP1/AS02A or Imovax® rabies vaccine by intra-deltoid injection on a 0, 1, 2 month schedule. Thirty-seven volunteers received all three immunizations and 38 completed the 12-month evaluation period. Slightly more recipients of the FMP1/AS02A vaccine experienced any instance of pain at 24 h post-immunization than in the Imovax® group …

Livestock On The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument: A Summary Of Stocking Rates, Utilization, And Management, Paul E. Hosten, Henry Whitridge, Dulcey Schuster, John Alexander

United States Bureau of Land Management: Staff Publications

This paper describes range management related practices to provide a historic and landscape context for studies examining the influence of livestock on objects of biological interest within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. Historic records show livestock numbers increased rapidly following initial settlement by Euro-Americans. Anecdotal data suggests that stocking rates early in the last century were greater than current stocking rates by at least an order of magnitude. Historic unregulated season-long use of the uplands during the spring, summer and fall resulted in severe environmental degradation. Disagreements between livestock operators and the desire of agency personnel to improve the condition of …

A Qualitative Study Of The Self -Concept Of Underprivileged Adolescents Attending Ryves Youth Center At Etling Hall, Kristy Ann Miller

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Using a qualitative approach, this study provided interpretative analysis of the self-concept of underprivileged adolescents attending Ryves Youth Center at Etling Hall, a youth center located in Terre Haute, Indiana. The researcher used triangulation to compare and contrast participant observations, volunteer comments, and adolescent interviews to form a theory about their level of self-concept. The researcher then referred to the data collected during the literature review to compare the self-concept of economically disadvantage youth with their more affluent peers. Through this comparison, it was found that while the research supports the theory that adolescents from poverty-stricken environments tend to show …
