Options For Cdc's Cancer Screening Programs: Implications Of The Affordable Care Act, Leighton C. Ku, Alice R. Levy, Paula M. Lantz, Rachelle Pierre-Mathieu

Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications

Screening to promote early detection of cancer is a fundamental tool in preventive medicine and public health that facilitates earlier treatment and reductions in cancer mortality. Systematic reviews of the research demonstrate that early detection and treatment for breast and cervical cancers can reduce cancer-related mortality. One of the most important barriers to women being screened is the lack of health insurance coverage. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) administers two programs designed to increase screening, particularly among low-income and vulnerable populations: the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) and the Colorectal Cancer Control Program …

Recommendations From The North Star State, Julia M. Williams, Gerry Nierengarten

The Rural Educator

Administrators in America’s rural school districts are uniquely challenged to meet increased achievement expectations despite decreasing resources. Mandated reform initiatives, population decline, and the complex formulas used to distribute tax-based funding have disproportionately affected rural schools. In this mixed-methods study, researchers first surveyed K-12 administrators and then conducted focus groups across six regions in Minnesota to determine the nature of the challenges specific to rural administrators and to document their perceived needs for interventions, training, and policy changes. The study identified two categories of common concern: student achievement and fiscal management. Within the category of student achievement, administrators identified four …

Association Of Glpq With Serum-Resistance In Salmonella Typhimurium, Kristie Carlotta Mitchell

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

Salmonella typhimurium is a leading cause of infectious human gastroenteritis and systemic disease when it escapes into the bloodstream. The human serum complement system is central in fighting systemic bacterial infections. S. typhimurium exhibits resistance to killing by complement (serum-resistance), a trait conferred by several known virulence genes. This study investigates a potential chromosomal complement-resistance gene in S. typhimurium tagged by TnphoA insertional transposon mutagenesis. S. typhimurium strain EM876 has a chromosomal TnphoA insertion and reduced serum-resistance. Inverse PCR and subsequent DNA sequence analysis reveal the insertion to be in the gene glpQ. glpQ codes for a …

Cityland – Vol. 8, No. 10, Center For New York City Law

CityLand - 2011

This issue of CityLand covers significant land use and zoning developments in New York City as of November 15, 2011. The City Council approved street-grade changes in Coney Island to improve flood resilience and pedestrian access, and reviewed the creation of the Westchester Square Business Improvement District in the Bronx. The City Planning Commission approved the Admirals Row Plaza project at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which includes a supermarket and industrial space, and granted a special permit for a private K–12 school in West Chelsea. A new Special 4th Avenue Enhanced Commercial District was established in Park Slope to promote …

Bitter Tea, Caicai Liu

Theses

Bitter Tea is a 23 minute short fiction film made by CaiCai Liu in April 2010. The film shows a Chinese photography student's life in the U.S. This paper discusses the issues of Asian identity, cultural changes and the philosophy of illusion symbolized by the perception of the photographer. It also represents the processes of making the film from pre-production, production, to post-production and explains the workflow and technical issues of how this project was made.

Positive Cooperative Mechanistic Binding Of Proteins At Low Concentrations: A Comparison Of Poly (Sodium N-Undecanoyl Sulfate) And Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate, Susmita Das, Monica R. Sylvain, Vivian E. Fernand, Jack N. Losso, Bilal El-Zahab, Isiah M. Warner

Faculty Publications

The interactions of the negatively charged achiral molecular micelle, poly (sodium N-undecanoyl sulfate) (poly-SUS), with four different proteins using intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence spectroscopic probes, are studied. A comparison of poly-SUS with the conventional surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and the monomeric species, SUS, is also reported. In this work, we observed that poly-SUS preferentially binds to acidic proteins, exhibiting positive cooperativity at concentrations less than 1. mM for all proteins studied. Moreover, it appears that the hydrophobic microdomain formed through polymerization of the terminal vinyl group of the monomer, SUS, is largely responsible for the superior binding capacity of …

Remarks On The Renormalization Of Primordial Cosmological Perturbations, Ivan Agullo, Jose Navarro-Salas, Gonzalo J. Olmo, Leonard Parker

We briefly review the need to perform renormalization of inflationary perturbations to properly work out the physical power spectra. We also summarize the basis of (momentum-space) renormalization in curved spacetime and address several misconceptions found in recent literature on this subject. © 2011 American Physical Society.

Happiness Around The World: The Paradox Of Happy Peasants And Miserable Millionaires, Carol Graham

Brookings Scholar Lecture Series

For centuries the pursuit of happiness was the preserve of philosophers. More recently there is a burgeoning interest in the study of happiness in the social sciences. Can we really answer the question what makes people happy? Is it grounded in credible methods and data? Is there consistency in the determinants of happiness across countries and cultures? Are happiness levels innate to individuals or can policy and the environment make a difference? How is happiness affected by poverty and by progress? This presentation introduces a line of research which is both an attempt to understand the determinants of happiness and …

On The Effect Of Functionally Graded Materials On Resonances Of Rotating Beams, Arnaldo J. Mazzei Jr.

Mechanical Engineering Publications

Radially rotating beams attached to a rigid stem occur in several important engineering applications. Some examples include helicopter blades, turbine blades and certain aerospace applications. In most studies the beams have been treated as homogeneous. Here, with a goal of system improvement, non-homogeneous beams made of functionally graded materials are explored. The effects on the natural frequencies of the system are investigated. Euler-Bernoulli theory, including an axial stiffening effect and variations of both Young's modulus and density, is employed. An assumed mode approach is utilized, with the modes taken to be beam characteristic orthogonal polynomials. Results are obtained via Rayleigh-Ritz …

Assessing Budget Delays In The Commonwealth Of Virginia: A Cross State Analysis Of Political And Economic Factors, Emily Newton

Theses and Dissertations

This paper assessed factors that delayed the passage of the annual budget bill specifically in Virginia and also in 13 structurally similar states including: Arizona, Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Virginia was the core focus of this study, but the variables detailed below were also measured for all thirteen states in an effort to broaden the scope of the study, and determine which political and economic factors affected the budget passage rates in Virginia and the 13 other states. Political and economic explanations were tested to examine their relationship …

No Accession-Specific Effect Of Rhizosphere Soil Communities On The Growth And Competition Of Arabidopsis Thaliana Accessions, Anna G. Aguilera, Adán Colón-Carmona, Rick Kesseli, Jeffrey S. Dukes

Biology Faculty Publication Series

Soil communities associated with specific plant species affect individual plants' growth and competitive ability. Limited evidence suggests that unique soil communities can also differentially influence growth and competition at the ecotype level. Previous work with Arabidopsis thaliana has shown that accessions produce distinct and reproducible rhizosphere bacterial communities, with significant differences in both species composition and relative abundance. We tested the hypothesis that soil communities uniquely affect the growth and reproduction of the plant accessions with which they are associated. Specifically, we examined the growth of four accessions when exposed to their own soil communities and the communities generated by …
