General Overview Of Traditional Healer Practices In Relation To Mental Health In Sudan,Sorcetti, E.A. Sorketti

Research Publications (2006 to 2010)

Traditional beliefs and religion play an important role in the socio-cultural and political life of the people in the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region.

Semantic Components: A Model For Enhancing Retrieval Of Domain- Specific Information, Susan Loucette Price Mar 2008

Semantic Components: A Model For Enhancing Retrieval Of Domain- Specific Information, Susan Loucette Price

Dissertations and Theses

Despite the success of general Internet search engines, information retrieval remains an incompletely solved problem. Our research focuses on supporting domain experts when they search domain-specific libraries to satisfy targeted information needs. The semantic components model introduces a schema specific to a particular document collection. A semantic component schema consists of a two-level hierarchy, document classes and semantic components. A document class represents a document grouping, such as topic type or document purpose. A semantic component is a characteristic type of information that occurs in a particular document class and represents an important aspect of the document’s main topic. …

On The Convergence Of Innis's International Political Economy And Sebald's Novels, Joseph S. Pinter Mar 2008

On The Convergence Of Innis's International Political Economy And Sebald's Novels, Joseph S. Pinter

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper "On the Convergence of Innis's International Political Economy and Sebald's Novels" Joseph S. Pinter contributes to the development of an area of scholarship on Harold A. Innis and Canadian political economy which deals with issues of representation, landscape, and memory. Pinter draws attention to a specific aspect of Innis's approach to political economy and focuses on ways in which Innis was able to represent fundamental aspects of the settlement process in Canada. Pinter argues that Innis focussed on landscape as a basic element in the European experience of North America (US and Canada) that, in turn, enabled …

Insights Into Morphological Nature Of Precipitation Of Cholesterol, Vuk Uskoković Mar 2008

Insights Into Morphological Nature Of Precipitation Of Cholesterol, Vuk Uskoković

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

Additional effects on the previously reported procedure of precipitation of narrowly dispersed and well-defined, brick-shaped cholesterol particles, including non-solvent addition rate, temperature, solvent purity, aging treatments, ultrasound agitation and fine mechanical effects were investigated. Based on the presented results, significant morphological sensitivity of cholesterol precipitation processes upon variations from the standard established procedure of crystallization is induced. However, the tendency of cholesterol to crystallize in the form of biaxially grown particles was evidenced as dominating the precipitation processes, irrespective of any modifications of experimental parameters involved in the preparation procedure investigated hereby. Prolonged aging time and temperature effects lead to …

Effects Of Short-Term Exercise And Energy Surplus On Hormones Related To Regulation Of Energy Balance, Todd A. Hagobian, Carrie G. Sharoff, Barry Braun Mar 2008

Effects Of Short-Term Exercise And Energy Surplus On Hormones Related To Regulation Of Energy Balance, Todd A. Hagobian, Carrie G. Sharoff, Barry Braun

Kinesiology and Public Health

Energy surplus raises circulating concentrations of leptin and insulin while lowering plasma ghrelin. Exercise has the opposite effects. The purpose of this study was to determine whether exercise counters the hormonal effects of energy surplus independent of changes in energy balance. To do that, we assessed plasma concentrations of leptin, insulin, and ghrelin at baseline, after overfeeding, and after overfeeding plus exercise. Baseline (B) leptin and insulin concentrations and ghrelin area under the curve were measured during an oral glucose challenge in 9 healthy, active subjects (6 male, 3 female) after 2 days in energy balance without exercise. Measurements were …

Rfid Research And Testing For Packages Of Apparel, Consumer Goods And Fresh Produce In The Retail Distribution Environment, S. P. Singh, M. Mccartney, Jay Singh, R. Clarke

Industrial Technology and Packaging

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a term used for any device that can be sensed at a distance by radio frequencies with few problems of obstruction. The origins of the term lie in the invention of tags that reflect or retransmit a radiofrequency signal. According to a recent article by Forrester Research, the minimal ‘Slap and Ship’ approach to RFID compliance will cost an individual company between $2 million and $20 million. Because retailers like Wal-Mart plan to share with their suppliers all the RFID-generated data points (from when a case/pallet enters their distribution centre until it leaves their stockroom), …

Collpas: Activity Hotspots For Frugivorous Bats (Phyllostomidae) In The Peruvian Amazon, Adriana Bravo, Kyle E. Harms, Richard D. Stevens, Louise H. Emmons Mar 2008

Collpas: Activity Hotspots For Frugivorous Bats (Phyllostomidae) In The Peruvian Amazon, Adriana Bravo, Kyle E. Harms, Richard D. Stevens, Louise H. Emmons

Faculty Publications

In the SE Peruvian Amazon, large numbers of frugivorous bats regularly visit natural forest clearings known locally as collpas (which are also referred to as clay licks or mineral licks). Bats arrive at collpas to drink water that has accumulated in depressions created by larger geophagous mammals that consume exposed soil. Although collpa visitation is common, little is known about its causes and its ecological implications for the bat community. We compared patterns of use of collpas and non-collpa forest sites by bats in SE Peru. We mist netted bats at collpas and non-collpa sites during the dry season and …
