Pyrosequencing Analysis Of The Trichodiene Synthase 5 (Tri 5) Gene From The Members Of The Genus Stachybotrys, Tineace Taylor Farrow Dec 2008

Pyrosequencing Analysis Of The Trichodiene Synthase 5 (Tri 5) Gene From The Members Of The Genus Stachybotrys, Tineace Taylor Farrow

Theses (Pre-2016)

This research will focus on multiple isolates of Stachybotrys species from culture collection companies which will be studied in an attempt to determine the presence of the Trichodiene synthase 5 (Tri5) gene, an enzyme involved in the early stages of the biosynthesis of trichothecenes. Using general primers, the Tri5 gene will be amplified by customized PCR technique. The amplicons will be sequenced using a new multiple sequence technique personally designed. Stachybotrys is a genus of filamentous fungi belonging to the class of anamorphic ascomycetes (Kirk et al, 2001). The genus has a single well-known species, Stachybotrys chartarum. S. chartarum was …

An influential artist of the Harlem Renaissance, McKay was a troubled and complex man. The spiritual journey of this former agnostic is moving and inspirational.


Racial Reconciliation In Christian Ethics: Toward Starting A Conversation, Bryan Massingale Dec 2008

Racial Reconciliation In Christian Ethics: Toward Starting A Conversation, Bryan Massingale

Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium

In this article, delivered originally in 1998 at Marquette University, the author confronts the reality of racism by introducing the need for racial reconciliation. Addressing such issues as social structures and evangelical approaches to the question of race, Massingale ends with a critique of the approach of Catholic theologians and ethicists to racial justice. In the end, Massingale remarks that for Catholics the legacy of slavery continues to hinder an openness to the reality of Africans and African Americans in the Church and in society.

The Implications Of Critical Race Theory (Crt) On Two Significant Findings Of A Study Of Black Catholics On The Social Frontier, Robert Bartlett Dec 2008

The Implications Of Critical Race Theory (Crt) On Two Significant Findings Of A Study Of Black Catholics On The Social Frontier, Robert Bartlett

Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium

Delivered during the 2007 meeting at St. Meinrad Archabbey, Bartlett discusses the use of Critical Race Theory (CRT) on qualitative research projects involving marginalized persons, particularly African American Catholics in predominantly white parishes. He concludes that CRT calls us to action to end racism. That call must be heard especially by Catholic Church leadership.


1807-2007: Whose Bicentennial And Whose Abolition?, Cyprian Davis O.S.B. Dec 2008

1807-2007: Whose Bicentennial And Whose Abolition?, Cyprian Davis O.S.B.

Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium

This paper, the keynote address of the 2007 annual meeting at Saint Meinrad Archabbey and Seminary, delineates the events leading to the 1807 abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain and traces the roots and significance of this historic event for the Church. Davis demonstrates that the complex relationship between the Church and slavery continues to shape the experiences of Catholics today.

藉由線上網路與Phs系統提昇臨床醫學教育教與學雙向回饋, 嘉德 林, 錫金 吳, 戊忠 沈, 世傑 廖, 崇豪 蔡, 正介 林 Dec 2008

藉由線上網路與Phs系統提昇臨床醫學教育教與學雙向回饋, 嘉德 林, 錫金 吳, 戊忠 沈, 世傑 廖, 崇豪 蔡, 正介 林

Journal of Medical Education

目的:回饋是醫學教育的核心,也是臨床教師的必備技能。除了自我評量外,學生也必須向其帶領學習的師長反應其學習狀況。因此不論實習醫學生或住院醫師都期待能夠自教師獲得學習的回饋以改進其臨床表現,這也是臨床教師的基本責任。然而傳統回饋方式可能相當耗時,而且在臨床訓練計劃的安排上並不適當。根據2004年台灣醫學教育報告,部份醫學中心每學期只以問卷進行一次回饋調查,這樣回饋次數不足的現象,可能會造成訓練過程或結果出現缺陷,若能提昇教與學回饋的機制,將有助於國內醫學教育的改革與進步。方法:中國醫藥大學附設醫院嘗試使用線上網路系統結合目前醫院廣泛使用的個人手持式電話系統(Personal Handy-phone System, PHS),來對實習醫學生及住院醫師的學習歷程進行即時線上回饋,藉以改善臨床醫學教育的雙向回饋。負責醫學教育的行政人員也可以透過此系統即時掌握學生的學習狀況及科部的教學情形。結論:整合網際網路及無線傳呼系統,可以促進臨床教師進行回饋教學,使臨床醫學教育得以持續品質改善。

On The Many Flavors Of Capitalism Or Reflections On Schumpeter's Ghost, John Henry Schlegel Dec 2008

On The Many Flavors Of Capitalism Or Reflections On Schumpeter's Ghost, John Henry Schlegel

Buffalo Law Review

Most legal scholars treat capitalism as a genus with one species. The appearance of several books that argue to the contrary suggests that it is sensible to revisit this assumption. Discussion begins by considering the constructed nature of markets, the importance of market systems, and the role of financings as the factor distinguishing capitalism from other forms of a market economy. Thereafter, four articulations of the varieties of capitalism are reviewed: the classic Marxist one, one by a political economist, another by a pair of comparative political scientists, and third by a trio of economists. This review leads to a …
