The information accessible from a muon-spin relaxation experiment can be limited due to a lack of knowledge of the precise muon stopping site. We demonstrate here the possibility of localizing a spin polarized muon in a known stopping state in a molecular material containing fluorine. The muon-spin precession that results from the entangled nature of the muon spin and surrounding nuclear spins is sensitive to the nature of the stopping site. We use this property to identify three classes of sites that occur in molecular magnets and describe the extent to which the muon distorts its surroundings.

Vegetation Monitoring

Executive Summary

  • The Weed Sentry program surveyed more than 750 miles of federal lands in Clark County for invasive, exotic plant species.
  • Weed Sentry also removed more than 600,000 individual invasive plants from federal
    lands. These removals represent pro-active efforts that may have forestalled large
    infestations difficult and costly to eradicate.
  • In response to a request by the manager of the Fish and Wildlife Service Desert National
    Wildlife Refuge, a major effort of surveying springs for plant community composition
    and invasive plants provided unique knowledge services by the Weed Sentry program.
    No such baseline information existed for the Sheep Range. …

Artifacts Circa 1800s Donated To Library, Elaine Pugh

University of Mississippi News

OXFORD, Miss. - Preserving the past is often a relay effort from one generation to the next. Such was the case for former Memphian Nancy Martin, who has donated a collection of artifacts circa 1800s to the University of Mississippi. The Smith Collection, including original land deeds signed by two former presidents and Civil War love letters, belonged to Martin's uncle James Warders Smith Jr. They were found at his Memphis home following his death there Jan. 7, 2006, at age 80.


Reviving Old Cairo's Majesty, Adham Koura Dec 2007

Reviving Old Cairo's Majesty, Adham Koura

The Undergraduate Research Journal

Historic Cairo is characterized by richness in Islamic heritage. Although attempts at conserving this heritage have been put forward in the past, efforts have been ineffective in some cases and, in most cases, unsustainable. Several problems and obstacles have been debilitating these efforts. This research project aims at providing practical insights on how these problems can be remedied and how the effectiveness of conservation efforts in Historic Cairo can be made more effective through the application of business concepts such as synergy and sustainability.


The Intrusions Of Politics On Science: A Look At Global Warming, Hesham Ossama Hassanien Dec 2007

The Intrusions Of Politics On Science: A Look At Global Warming, Hesham Ossama Hassanien

The Undergraduate Research Journal

Science has touched every aspect of our lives, adding value and comfort to our long hours of hard work - including small digital pens, computers, and even smart houses. The truth is, however, that not many of us are scientists, and the lack of knowledge as to specificities of the field often leaves us suspicious when examining political support a supposedly scientific endeavor might receive. Indeed, the often lucrative nature of science has helped promote the interaction between the scientific community and external institutions like corporations and political offices, a partnership that raises the question of whether this cooperation jeopardizes …


A New Look At Egypt’S Brain Drain Within Auc, Iman Dawood Dec 2007

A New Look At Egypt’S Brain Drain Within Auc, Iman Dawood

The Undergraduate Research Journal

The emigration of highly skilled and educated Egyptian citizens has been on-going for decades and has had a relatively negative effect on Egypt’s development. Drawing on 100 Egyptian undergraduate students—both male and female – in order to gauge a rough estimate of the number of AUC students who plan on traveling and living abroad as well as their reasons for doing so. The research showed that 90% of students wished to live abroad. In addition, interviews were held with Egyptian professors to discuss potential reasons for Egyptian nationals to remain within their country as well as the ways in which …

Education: A Step Into The Future, Mikel Mihkail, Layla Arafa, Zena Sallam, Farah Ismail

The Undergraduate Research Journal

Programs and initiatives funded by the government have demonstrated an inability to deal with the growing demand for education. Due to a sheer lack of financial resources, primary schools have fallen back both on supplying basic necessities, such as books and stationary, and on delivering a quality of education on par with other countries in the region. Despite its shortcomings, the government remains the single largest financial contributor to primary school education in Egypt. The contribution of the private sector to the funding of the education system has, over the past five years, stagnated to a meager 6.9% of total …


Youth Perspectives On Citizenship And Civic Engagement In Egypt, Nahla Mahgoub, Reham Morsi Dec 2007

Youth Perspectives On Citizenship And Civic Engagement In Egypt, Nahla Mahgoub, Reham Morsi

The Undergraduate Research Journal

During the past two decades, Egypt has witnessed an enormous change in the way political affairs are handled. For this reason, concepts of citizenship and nationality have changed in the minds of all peoples, creating a need to come up with specific definitions of citizenship that provides a clear framework in which the government and its people can interact. Egypt has a special demographic distribution of the youth bulge-where the youth make up the majority of the population. For this reason it is important to asses how this youth bulge perceive the concepts of citizenship, nationality and civic engagement. This …

While the number of street children in Egypt has been rapidly increasing over the past decades, it was not until very recently that it has started to attract attention and has been recognized as a problem of great magnitude requiring immediate action. In our research paper, we explore the phenomenon of street children in Egypt, its causes and the many greatly influencing factors, with the purpose of raising awareness of the issue. The project includes a study and close examination of the research made on this phenomenon in the form of a literature review. Once integrated with our primary research, …

Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin’S Lymphoma Presenting As Severe Hypercalcaemia: A Case Report, Ikram A. Burney, V Nirmala, Mansour S. Woodhouse, Nicholas J. Dec 2007

Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin’S Lymphoma Presenting As Severe Hypercalcaemia: A Case Report, Ikram A. Burney, V Nirmala, Mansour S. Woodhouse, Nicholas J.

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NLPHL) is a recently described type of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) and accounts for 5-6% of all the cases of HL. Here we report the case of an elderly man who presented to Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Oman, with severe hypercalcemia, and was diagnosed to have stage IV NLPHL. Although the incidence of hypercalcemia is estimated to be between 1-5% in classical HL, to our knowledge this is the first report of NLPHL presenting with severe hypercalcemia. The patient responded to the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, Rituximab, and has been in clinical remission for more than 3 …

Illness Stories: From Recognizing The Significance In Care To Planning My Own Storied Practice, Jane Lachance Dec 2007

Illness Stories: From Recognizing The Significance In Care To Planning My Own Storied Practice, Jane Lachance

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

In this paper, stories of illness are identified as belonging to a specific genre of story that represents an ill person's interpretation of experience and hence the meaning(s) of illness. The ill person is recognized as member of a family embedded in a social setting with cultural mores that contribute to experience and meanings. The meaning of illness is significant because it affects the care of illness. This paper focuses on chronic illness, an illness without cure that is managed over a lifetime and is characterized by remission and exacerbation of symptoms. Our current bio-medical health care system reframes the …

Identifying Methods Nurse Managers Can Implement To Foster A Supportive Environment For Staff Where Disruptive Behavior Exists, Kathleen Leavitt

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

We can all imagine the ideal work environment, where you are respected, empowered, and provided with the resources to perform to the best of your ability everyday. Your skills would be acknowledged and the challenging work that is accomplished each day would be appreciated by peers, team members, and managers. However, in my work environment, an operating room, a phenomenon called "disruptive behavior" often interrupts the ability of achieving this desired state. Initially I was focused on this behavior being displayed by physicians but was awakened to the fact that they are not the only offenders and that many caregivers …


From Humor In The Workplace To Humor As A Means Of Healing From Loss, Sheryl Savage Dec 2007

From Humor In The Workplace To Humor As A Means Of Healing From Loss, Sheryl Savage

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

The role of humor in promoting a climate of creativity in organizations has been the focus of this synthesis. Developing a program to add humor to an organization's culture can open up and encourage people's creativity. In this environment of creativity, effective problem solving can occur and thus lead to needed positive change. This paper explores lay and scholarly research findings on the role of humor in the workplace. There exists both anecdotal and empirical evidence to support the theory of humor's ability to be a tool for creative problem solving and stress reduction, as well as humor's positive effect …
