Foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo em duas escolas da rede pública estadual de Porto Alegre, com a finalidade de verificar a presença de dentes permanentes irrompidos em crianças com faixa etária entre seis a dez anos. Foram examinadas 327 crianças, considerando as variáveis de idade, sexo e raça. Não foi observada diferença significativa para a época de erupção para as variáveis de raça e sexo. Foi observado que aos seis anos de idade uma porcentagem maior de incisivos inferiores (78,7%) irrompeu antes que os primeiros molares inferiores (75,9%), assim como a erupção na arcada inferior antecedeu a da arcada …


Family Model And Mystical Body: Witnessing Gender Through Political Metaphor In The Early Modern Nation-State, Allison Anna Tait Jan 2008

Family Model And Mystical Body: Witnessing Gender Through Political Metaphor In The Early Modern Nation-State, Allison Anna Tait

Law Faculty Publications

The preferred political metaphor in the constitutionalist context was the mystical political body, a concept that defined a system in which power was shared and the well-being of the community was linked to the well-being of the individual. Within the mystical political body, the theoretical possibility exists for women not only to occupy a civic space through organic (and organological) association but also to articulate their perspective and its consequences for the political community in a civically approved way. In the mystical body, women approach a citizenship status impossible within the traditional family framework and their witnessing is closely associated …

Introductory Note To The International Court Of Justice: Request For Interpretation Of The Judgment In The Case Concerning Avena And Other Mexican Nationals, Chiara Giorgetti

Law Faculty Publications

On July 16, 2008, the International Court of Justice ("ICJ" or "the Court") issued its Order On the Request for the Indication ofProvisional Measures ("Order"),1 granting Mexico's request demanding the United States, inter alia, to take all necessary measures to ensure that certain named individuals are not executed pending the judgment on the Request for Interpretation of the Judgment of 31 March 2004 in the Case Concerning Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States of America)?

This is a complex and interesting decision for several reasons. First, it continues to examine the applicability and enforceability of individual rights …


Dear President Bush: Leaving A Legacy On The Federal Bench, Carl W. Tobias Jan 2008

Dear President Bush: Leaving A Legacy On The Federal Bench, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

The appointments of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito were milestones in your stated quest to transform the courts. Appreciating that a critical duty assigned to the president by the Constitution is nominating and, with Senate advice and consent, appointing judges, you vowed to recommend "strict constructionists." Selection has enhanced importance, given modern perceptions that judges are essentially the final arbiters of societal disputes, including such questions as terrorism and affirmative action. The Hamdan v. Rumsfeld and Grutter v. Bollinger opinions as well as the public school desegregation and Schiavo litigation trenchantly illuminate those notions.

You can still …


Oil & Water, Miranda Allbritten Jan 2008

Oil & Water, Miranda Allbritten

School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work

I am interested in subtleties and the understated, the trace of impact and the slight of presence. As the ability to accurately recall past experiences lessens with time, we are left with an outline, a shadow, a hint of sensation that may have, at once, been thorough and exhaustive. How experience is lost and then reinvented, how subtle but specific changes in tone, expression and movement linger and reinvent themselves in memory, are motivating elements in my work. The paradox between an encounter and the recollection or reinvention of that encounter is at the core of my investigation, both in …

Paintings, Michael Burton

School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work

In my current work I explore process and my fascination vvith human flesh by using the physical nature of paint as an equivalency for images and surfaces. I am fascinated vvith how nesh can have different quaitities. It can be brittle, rough, or smooth, it can form calluses and it can change color. Paint has these same quaUties. When I see peeling skin on my body, it reminds me of peeling paint and I find it hard to resist touching either surface . Ideas for images are generated by examining my nesh for cuts, wrinkles or boney protrusions or by …

Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy Of Intraoral And Oropharyngeal Mass Lesions, Husain A. Saleh, Lewis Clayman, Haitham Masri Jan 2008

Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy Of Intraoral And Oropharyngeal Mass Lesions, Husain A. Saleh, Lewis Clayman, Haitham Masri

Wayne State University Associated BioMed Central Scholarship

Abstract

Background

Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy has been rarely used in oral and oropharyngeal lesions. The goal of this study was to assess the value and accuracy of FNA biopsy in the diagnosis of oral and oropharyngeal lesions particularly in regards to discriminating benign from malignant tumors.

Methods

Sixteen cases of FNA biopsies obtained of various intraoral and oropharyngeal masses or lesions performed at our institution during the eight-year period from 1998 to 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. The aspiration cytologic diagnoses were correlated with the histologic examination of the corresponding resected lesions.

Results

Sixteen cases of intraoral lesions evaluated …


Replacing The Native American With The "New American" In Margaret Fuller's Summer On The Lakes, In 1843, Laura M. Reilly Jan 2008

Replacing The Native American With The "New American" In Margaret Fuller's Summer On The Lakes, In 1843, Laura M. Reilly

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

In the summer of 1843, New Englander Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) set off with friends on a westward journey that would take her through the areas of the Great Lakes, Illinois and Wisconsin. Fuller kept copious notes during her trip, and during the eight months after her return home, she revised and enhanced her text and published it as a book, entitled Summer on the Lakes, In 1843.

Fuller’s book reflects a myriad of influences, especially from those most known for their Romantic writings. Jacques Jean Rousseau’s ideas of “The Noble Savage,” Edmund Burke’s theory of the sublime, Johann Wolfgang Goethe’s …

Geo-Ontology Tools – The Missing Link, Jochen Albrecht, Laxmi Ramasubramanian, Brandon Derman Jan 2008

Geo-Ontology Tools – The Missing Link, Jochen Albrecht, Laxmi Ramasubramanian, Brandon Derman

Publications and Research

Numerous authors have presented ontology building tools that have all been developed as part of academic projects and that are usually adaptations of more generic tools for geo-spatial applications. While we trust that these tools do their job for the special purpose they have been built, the GIScience user community is still a long way away from off-the-shelf ontology builders that can be used by GIS project managers. In this article, we present a comparative study of ontology building tools described in some twenty peer-reviewed GIScience journal articles. We analyze them from the perspective of two application domains, crime analysis …

Population Ecology Of The Golden Mouse, Robert K. Rose Jan 2008

Population Ecology Of The Golden Mouse, Robert K. Rose

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

An understanding of the population dynamics of a species requires knowledge of the major life-history parameters of a population, including age at maturity, distribution of age classes, and lifetime reproductive contribution of the sexes, sex ratio, length of the breeding season, mean litter size, rates of growth and survival, and life span. Because few long-term studies have been conducted with Ochrotomys nuttalli as the focal species of investigation, only fragmentary information is available for many population parameters. As importantly, densities of golden mice often are low, making them difficult to evaluate statistically. Little has been published on age at maturity …


Precision Measurements Of The Neutron Electric Form Factor At High Momentum Transfers, Ameya Suresh Kolarkar Jan 2008

Precision Measurements Of The Neutron Electric Form Factor At High Momentum Transfers, Ameya Suresh Kolarkar

University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations

The neutron, although electrically neutral, is composed of elementary charged particles and as a result, possesses a charge distribution within. The charge distribution can be studied by measuring a quantity called the neutron electric form factor, GnE. Experiment E02-013 at Jefferson Lab’s Hall A measured GnE at high four-momentum transfer values of Q2 = 1.2, 1.7, 2.5 and 3.4 (GeV/c)2 in double polarized semi-exclusive 3He(e, e'n) scattering in quasi-elestic kinematics by measuring the transverse asymmetry AT of the cross section.

The neutron electric form factor is essential to …


Reactivity Of (2-Alkenyl-3-Pentene-1,5-Diyl)Iron Complexes: Preparation Of Functionalized Vinylcyclopropanes And Cycloheptadienes, Rajesh K. Pandey, Lizhu Wang, Nathaniel J Wallock, Sergey V. Lindeman, William A. Donaldson Jan 2008

Reactivity Of (2-Alkenyl-3-Pentene-1,5-Diyl)Iron Complexes: Preparation Of Functionalized Vinylcyclopropanes And Cycloheptadienes, Rajesh K. Pandey, Lizhu Wang, Nathaniel J Wallock, Sergey V. Lindeman, William A. Donaldson

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

The reactivity of (2-alkenyl-3-pentene-1,5-diyl)iron complexes toward olefin metathesis, cycloaddition, and mild oxidations (MnO2 or mCPBA) was examined. Cycloaddition reactions were observed to occur with modest diastereoselectivity (33−63% de). Decomplexation of the (3-pentenediyl) ligand may be accomplished by oxidation with either CAN or alkaline hydrogen peroxide to afford vinylcyclopropanecarboxylates or divinylcyclopropanecarboxylates. Reduction of the latter, followed by Cope rearrangement generates cycloheptadienylmethanols. These studies demonstrate that (2-alkenyl-3-pentene-1,5-diyl)iron complexes can serve as organometallic scaffolds for the preparation of a wide variety of structural motifs containing up to 5 contiguous stereocenters.
