Bupropion And Nicotine Patch As Smoking Cessation Aids In Alcoholics, Kathleen M. Grant, Stephanie Sinclair Kelley, Lynette M. Smith, Sangeeta Agrawal, James R. Meyer, Debra J. Romberger

United States Public Health Resources

This is a double blind placebo controlled study of sustained release bupropion as a smoking cessation aid in alcoholics undergoing treatment for their alcoholism. Participants (N=58) were enrolled within one week of entry into alcohol treatment from community and Veterans Affairs Substance Use Disorder programs. All participants received nicotine patch and were invited to attend a smoking cessation lecture and group. Cigarette smoking and alcohol outcomes were measured at six months. Bupropion when added to nicotine patch did not improve smoking outcomes. One-third of participants on bupropion reported discontinuing the drug during weeks 1-4. Participants reported cigarette outcomes with nicotine …

Repeat Organic Dust Exposure–Induced Monocyte Inflammation Is Associated With Protein Kinase C Activity, Jill A. Poole, Todd A. Wyatt, Susanna G. Von Essen, John Hervert, Conrad Parks, Tracy Mathisen, Debra J. Romberger Aug 2007

Repeat Organic Dust Exposure–Induced Monocyte Inflammation Is Associated With Protein Kinase C Activity, Jill A. Poole, Todd A. Wyatt, Susanna G. Von Essen, John Hervert, Conrad Parks, Tracy Mathisen, Debra J. Romberger

United States Public Health Resources

Background: Organic dust exposure results in an inflammatory response that attenuates over time, but repetitive exposures can result in chronic respiratory diseases. Mechanisms underlying this modulated response are not clear.
Objective: This study investigated the effects of repeat versus single organic dust exposure–induced inflammatory mediators and protein kinase C (PKC) activity in monocytes.
Methods: Settled organic dust was obtained from swine confinement facilities. Promonocytic THP-1 cells and human peripheral blood monocytes were pretreated with or without dust extract and then restimulated. Culture supernatants were evaluated for TNF-α, IL-6, CXCL8, and IL-10. Responses were compared with endotoxin-depleted dust, LPS, and peptidoglycan. …

A Rotating Panel Survey To Assess Quality Of Hunter College Education, Jennifer Sousa Brennan, William (Bill) H. Williams Aug 2007

A Rotating Panel Survey To Assess Quality Of Hunter College Education, Jennifer Sousa Brennan, William (Bill) H. Williams

Publications and Research

A rotating sample design is proposed to most accurately measure the perceived quality of a Hunter College education. A representative sample of Hunter College students will belong to one of six rotating panels. Students will be contacted during four rotation periods and report their assessment of the two most recent months. It is advantageous to use a rotating panel design as opposed to a fixed panel design in order to guard against the negative effects of a deteriorating response rate. Stratified sampling will help to ensure representation across major departments and academic year of study. Methods for sampling procedures, stratification, …

Malaria: Disease Impacts And Long-Run Income Differences, Douglas Gollin, Christian Zimmermann Aug 2007

Malaria: Disease Impacts And Long-Run Income Differences, Douglas Gollin, Christian Zimmermann

Economics Working Papers

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that malaria, a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitoes, causes over 300 million episodes of "acute illness" and more than one million deaths annually. Most of the deaths occur in poor countries of the tropics, and especially sub-Saharan Africa. Some researchers have suggested that ecological differences associated with malaria prevalence are perhaps the most important reason why some countries today are rich and others poor. This paper explores the question in an explicit dynamic general equilibrium framework, using a calibrated model that incorporates epidemiological features into a standard general equilibrium framework.

The Changing Spatial Concentration Of America's Rural Poor Population, Daniel T. Lichter, Kenneth M. Johnson Aug 2007

The Changing Spatial Concentration Of America's Rural Poor Population, Daniel T. Lichter, Kenneth M. Johnson

Sociology

This paper documents changing patterns of concentrated poverty in nonmetro areas. Data from the Decennial U.S. Census Summary Files show that poverty rates—both overall and for children—declined more rapidly in nonmetro than metro counties in the 1990s. The 1990s also brought large reductions in the number of high-poverty nonmetro counties and declines in the share of rural people, including rural poor people, who were living in them. This suggests that America's rural pockets of poverty may be “drying up” and that spatial inequality in nonmetro America declined over the 1990s, at least at the county level. On a less optimistic …

A Theory-Based Intervention To Increase Dental Utilization By Disadvantaged Children., Catherine J. Binkley Aug 2007

A Theory-Based Intervention To Increase Dental Utilization By Disadvantaged Children., Catherine J. Binkley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Oral disease is the greatest unmet healthcare need of disadvantaged children in the United States, with only 20% of disadvantaged Medicaid-eligible children receiving routine dental care. Peter Margolis proposed a theoretical model of access to healthcare services and reported the effectiveness of a case manager intervention in increasing medical care utilization by disadvantaged mothers and infants. This study was based on Margolis's theory and used a case manager to assist parents in obtaining dental care. Methods. The study was based on secondary analyses of data from the "Parental Help Seeking for Dental Care" project. The randomized, controlled intervention study was …

Encountering Stereotype Threat In The Workplace : How Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender Employees Meet The Challenge Of Negative Stereotyping., Gary M. Collins

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Employee retention continues to be a major drain on the resources of organizations, especially in terms of personnel, productivity, and financial resources. One of the primary motivators of employee turnovers established by research is the issue of unfairness in the workplace. This study investigated the dimensions of unfairness related to being a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender employee. Specifically, the issue of stereotype threat and its effect on job performance was explored. Using an on-line survey, members of LGBT labor union caucuses and LGBT employee resource groups were asked to complete a questionnaire that assessed demographic differences and responses to …

The Evolution Of Color Polymorphism: Crypticity, Searching Images, And Apostatic Selection, Alan B. Bond Aug 2007

The Evolution Of Color Polymorphism: Crypticity, Searching Images, And Apostatic Selection, Alan B. Bond

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

The development and maintenance of color polymorphism in cryptic prey species is a source of enduring fascination, in part because it appears to result from selective processes operating across multiple levels of analysis, ranging from cognitive psychology to population ecology. Since the 1960s, prey species with diverse phenotypes have been viewed as the evolved reflection of the perceptual and cognitive characteristics of their predators. Because it is harder to search simultaneously for two or more cryptic prey types than to search for only one, visual predators should tend to focus on the most abundant forms and effectively overlook the others. …

Elastomer Degradation In Water Utility Systems Via Loss Of Carbon Black Observed With Atomic Force Microscopy., Randolph Norman Schoenbaechler 1972- Aug 2007

Elastomer Degradation In Water Utility Systems Via Loss Of Carbon Black Observed With Atomic Force Microscopy., Randolph Norman Schoenbaechler 1972-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The use of monochloramines in the potable water supply industry has been selected as the disinfectant method of choice due to a longer term of effectiveness and less toxic by-products than the previous choice of chlorine. In spite of the benefits exhibited by the use of monochloramines much greater rates of elastomer degradation have been noted in the water industry. The modes of attack by monochloramines on the rubber parts are still poorly understood. A common ingredient in nearly all elastomer formulations is carbon black. In addition to its role as a filler material, carbon black is also known to …

Forecasting Prescription Of Medications And Cost Analysis Using Time Series., Mussie Angesom Tesfamicael 1975- Aug 2007

Forecasting Prescription Of Medications And Cost Analysis Using Time Series., Mussie Angesom Tesfamicael 1975-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research study is to examine the use of time series forecasting and text mining to investigate the prescription of antibiotics. The specific objective is to examine the relationship between the total payments, private insurance payments, Medicare payments, Medicaid payments, number of prescriptions and quantity of prescriptions for different antibiotics. Currently, there is no method available to forecast antibiotic prescription costs, so we have adopted several methods that will help health care providers and hospitals to know about the prescription of the antibiotics being prescribed. The payment made for each antibiotic is based upon an average cost …
