Digital Books And The Salvation Of Academic Publishing., Roger Cross

Articles

Digitization was not, nor ever will be, the solution to problems faced by Academic Libraries. Digitization cannot be downplayed, however no amount of digitization will ever address the systemic issues that lie at the heart of academic library’s difficulties. Digitization is merely a means of data delivery and as such does not address foundational defects within the academic system. The true salvation through digitization will not be found in libraries, but in commercial publisher’s bottom line.

Microstructural Evaluation In Friction Stir Welded High Strength Low Alloy Steels, Majid Abbasi Gharacheh

Theses and Dissertations

Understanding microstructural evolution in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of steels is essential in order to understand and optimize the process. Ferritic steels undergo an allotropic phase transformation. This makes microstructural evolution study very challenging. An approach based on Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) and phase transformation orientation relationships is introduced to reconstruct pre-transformed grain structure and texture. Reconstructed pre-transformed and post-transformed grain structures and textures were investigated in order to understand microstructural evolution. Texture results show that there is evidence of shear deformation as well as recrystallization in the reconstructed prior austenite. Room temperature ferrite exhibits well-defined shear deformation texture components. …

Density Functional Theory Study On The Electronic Structure Of N- And P-Type Doped Srtio3 At Anodic Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Conditions, Suwit Suthirakun, Salai Cheettu Ammal, Guoliang Xiao, Fanglin Chen, Andreas Heyden, Hans-Conrad Zur Loye

Faculty Publications

The electronic conductivity and thermodynamic stability of mixed n-type and p-type doped SrTiO₃ have been investigated at anodic solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) conditions using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In particular, constrained ab initio thermodynamic calculations have been performed to evaluate the phase stability and reducibility of various Nb- and Ga-doped SrTiO₃ at synthesized and anodic SOFC conditions. The density of states (DOS) of these materials was analyzed to study the effects of n- and p-doping on the electronic conductivity. In agreement with experimental observations, we find that the transformation from 20% Nb-doped Sr-deficient SrTiO …

"Not If, But When": Sex, Risk, And Trust In Timing Gardasil Vaccine Decisions, An Exploratory Study Among Healthcare Providers And Middle-Class Parents In The U.S., Kathleen Marie Brelsford

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation research explores how values regarding sexuality, morality, responsibility, protection, trust, and risk — expressed through parent, daughter, and healthcare provider relationships and interactions — inform parental decisions regarding the Gardasil® vaccine. In particular, the research examines the competing and conflicting meanings that parents and providers ascribe to vaccination and how actors position the vaccine within a wider set of negotiated, value–laden discourses. Because these narratives are situated within a larger structural field that shapes the landscape in which providers and parents interact, relevant historical and structural factors, including vaccine policy, cost, and compensation are discussed.

Frequency And Associated Factors For Care Giving Among Elderly Patients Visiting A Teaching Hospital In Karachi, Pakistan., Waris Qidwai Dr, Mohammad Uzair Abdul Rauf, Seema Sakina, Ayesha Hamid, Sidra Ishaque, Tabinda Ashfaq

Department of Family Medicine

Objective: To study frequency and associated factors for care giving among elderly Patients visiting a teaching hospital in Karachi, Pakistan.
Methodology: A cross sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted at the Community Health Centre (CHC), Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) Karachi, Pakistan from September to November 2009. All individuals, visiting the CHC and aged 65 years or above were interviewed after taking written informed consent.
Results: A total of 400 elderly completed the interview. Majority were females, 65-69 years age, More than half of the individuals ie: 227 (85%) had received Care Giver experience for assistance and among these 195(72%) had …

Susan Aremas describes her life as a Filipino American growing up in Salinas California in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. The only daughter of Ricardo and Sherry Aremas, her father was a merchant Marine with the US Army and her mother was a housewife. Susan is a native Salinas resident and her family was one of the first Filipino families to settle in the Salinas area. She attended the local schools and earned her AA degree from Hartnell College. She then went on to San Jose State and earned her B.A. in Spanish, then got an Elementary teaching credential. She …

Identification Of Novel Stat3 Target Genes Associated With Oncogenesis, Rachel Haviland

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Cytokine and growth factor signaling pathways involving STAT3 are frequently constitutively activated in many human primary tumors, and are known for the transcriptional role they play in controlling cell growth and cell cycle progression. However, the extent of STAT3's reach on transcriptional control of the genome as a whole remains an important question. We predicted that this persistent STAT3 signaling affects a wide variety of cellular functions, many of which still remain to be characterized.

We took a broad approach to identify novel STAT3 regulated genes by examining changes in the genome-wide gene expression profile by microarray, using cells expressing …

Teaching Community College Students Strategies For Learning Unknown Words As They Read Expository Text, Leslie Craigo, Linnea C. Ehri, Manijeh Hart

Higher Learning Research Communications

An experiment was conducted to investigate methods that enable college students to learn the meaning of unknown words as they read discipline-specific academic text. Forty-one college students read specific passages aloud during three sessions. Participants were randomly assigned to three vocabulary learning interventions or a control condition. The interventions involved applying context, morphemic, and syntactic strategies; applying definitions; or applying both strategies and definitions to determine word meanings. Word learning and comprehension were measured during the interventions and in a transfer task to assess treatment effects on independent text reading. Results revealed that students in all three intervention groups outperformed …

Indian Patent Law And Trips: Redrawing The Flexibility Framework In The Context Of Public Policy And Health, V. K. Unni

McGeorge School of Law Global Center for Business and Development Annual Symposium

Moderator: Michael Mireles, Associate Professor of Law, University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law

This panel will examine the impact of human rights norms on substantive intellectual property law. The focus of the panel is whether intellectual property law is adequately flexible to provide access to knowledge, in the form of primary and secondary materials as well as scientific materials, access to medicines, and access to food, such as seeds. The panel will further explore whether any flexibilities incorporated into intellectual property law harm the incentives provided by that law, including an analysis of parallel importation.

Interpretation Of Human Rights For The Protection Of The Environment In The European Court Of Human Rights, Svitlana Kravchenko, John E. Bonine

McGeorge School of Law Global Center for Business and Development Annual Symposium

Moderator: Rachael Salcido, Professor of Law, University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law

The Stockholm Declaration, adopted at the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, explicitly recognized the link between human rights and protection of the environment, proclaiming that “Both aspects of man’s environment, the natural and the man-made, are essential to his well-being and to the enjoyment of basic human rights—even the right to life itself.” More recent international developments point to the potential utility of using human rights norms as a catalyst for actions to protect the environment at the state level. Indeed, many countries …
