Underemployment In Urban And Rural America, 2005-2012, Justin R. Young

Carsey Publications

Author Justin Young reports that underemployment (or involuntary part-time work) rates doubled during the second year of the recession, reaching roughly 6.5 percent in 2009. This increase was equally steep in both rural and urban places. By March of 2012, underemployment was slightly lower in rural places (4.8 percent) compared to urban places (5.3 percent). Prior to the recession, however, underemployment was slightly higher in rural America. Workers under age 30, as well as women, black, and Hispanic workers, continue to experience higher levels of underemployment. Underemployment is strongly linked with education, with the least educated workers experiencing higher rates …

Method For Early Detection Of Cancers, Hong-Gang Wang, Domenico Coppola

USF Patents

The invention includes methods for detecting the presence of a neoplastic condition by comparing a sample level of a BIF-1 to a reference, wherein a low level of BIF-1 in the sample correlates with the presence of a neoplastic condition. Another method involves determining the risk of relapse, tumor recurrence and/or metastasis by determining a sample level of a Bif-1 to a reference level of Bif-1, wherein low sample levels correlate with a likelihood of relapse, recurrence and/or metastasis. Yet another method includes detecting the presence of a pre-neoplastic condition, such as prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia. The method involves measuring a …

Les Femmes Manutentionnaires : Un Point De Vue Biomécanique Et Ergonomique, André Plamondon, Denys Denis, Christian Larivière, Alain Delisle, Denis Gagnon, Marie St-Vincent, Iuliana Nastasia

Rapports de recherche scientifique

De nombreuses femmes exercent le métier de manutentionnaire. À tort, on a négligé de s’intéresser à cette population parce que le métier de manutentionnaire est largement pratiqué par des hommes. Il existe des études qui ont observé des différences significatives entre les hommes et les femmes dans leurs façons d’effectuer les tâches de manutention, mais leur nombre est limité. Quoique le nombre de manutentionnaires féminins soit beaucoup moins élevé dans certains types d’activité comme le transport et la machinerie, dans d’autres secteurs comme l’alimentation et les services, les femmes constituent souvent près de la moitié de la main-d'œuvre qui, de …

Effect Of Conformation Sampling Strategies In Genetic Algorithm For Multiple Protein Docking., Juan Esquivel-Rodriguez, Daisuke Kihara

Department of Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Background

Macromolecular protein complexes play important roles in a cell and their tertiary structure can help understand key biological processes of their functions. Multiple protein docking is a valuable computational tool for providing structure information of multimeric protein complexes. In a previous study we developed and implemented an algorithm for this purpose, named Multi-LZerD. This method represents a conformation of a multimeric protein complex as a graph, where nodes denote subunits and each edge connecting nodes denotes a pairwise docking conformation of the two subunits. Multi-LZerD employs a genetic algorithm to sample different topologies of the graph and pairwise transformations …

Evaluation Of Function Predictions By Pfp, Esg, And Psi-Blast For Moonlighting Proteins., Ishita K. Khan, Meghana Chitale, Catherine Rayon, Daisuke Kihara

Department of Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Background

Advancements in function prediction algorithms are enabling large scale computational annotation for newly sequenced genomes. With the increase in the number of functionally well characterized proteins it has been observed that there are many proteins involved in more than one function. These proteins characterized as moonlighting proteins show varied functional behavior depending on the cell type, localization in the cell, oligomerization, multiple binding sites, etc. The functional diversity shown by moonlighting proteins may have significant impact on the traditional sequence based function prediction methods. Here we investigate how well diverse functions of moonlighting proteins can be predicted by some …

Negative Event Appraisals, Cognitive Processing, And Adjustment, Kristen E. Riley

Master's Theses

Appraisals of stressful events are linked to their adjustment to those stressful events. Appraisals can include perceptions of an event as threatening, uncontrollable, controllable, central, or challenging (Peacock & Wong, 1990). Many studies have examined effects of these appraisals on adjustment and cognitive processing (Aldwin, 2007; Lazarus, 1993; Tan, Jensen, Thornby, & Anderson, 2005), and a few have suggested that cognitive processing mediates relationships between appraisals and adjustment (Peacock & Wong, 1996). We tested cognitive processing in mediation models between appraisals and adjustment, and compared to active coping, in the context of ongoing stressors. Active coping appears to be particularly …

Muc4 And Muc1 Expression In Adenocarcinoma Of The Stomach Correlates With Vessel Invasion And Lymph Node Metastasis: An Immunohistochemical Study Of Early Gastric Cancer., Yukihiro Tamura, Michiyo Higashi, Sho Kitamoto, Seiya Yokoyama, Masahiko Osako, Michiko Horinouchi, Takeshi Shimizu, Mineo Tabata, Surinder K. Batra, Masamichi Goto, Suguru Yonezawa

Journal Articles: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

We have previously reported that MUC4 expression is a poor prognostic factor in various carcinomas. Our previous study also showed that MUC1 expression in gastric cancers, including the early and advanced stages is a poor prognostic factor. In the present study, the expression profiles of MUC4 and MUC1 were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using two anti-MUC4 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), 8G7 and 1G8, and anti-MUC1 MAb DF3 in 104 gastrectomy specimens of early gastric adenocarcinoma with submucosal invasion (pT1b2), including 197 histological subtype lesions. Before the IHC study of the human specimens, we evaluated the specificity of the two MAbs by …

Identifying Stage-Specific Protein Subnetworks For Colorectal Cancer, Sinan Erten, Xiaowei Guan, Rod K. Nibbe, Jill S. Barnholtz-Sloan, Mark R. Chance, Mehmet Koyutürk

Faculty Scholarship

Background: In recent years, many algorithms have been developed for network-based analysis of differential gene expression in complex diseases. These algorithms use protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks as an integrative framework and identify subnetworks that are coordinately dysregulated in the phenotype of interest. Motivation: While such dysregulated subnetworks have demonstrated significant improvement over individual gene markers for classifying phenotype, the current state-of-the-art in dysregulated subnetwork discovery is almost exclusively limited to binary phenotype classes. However, many clinical applications require identification of molecular markers for multiple classes. Approach: We consider the problem of discovering groups of genes whose expression signatures can discriminate …

Correlation Between Adherence To A Ventilator Weaning Protocol And Successful Extubations In An Intensive Care Nursery, James Gibson, Bs, Rrt, Brian Glynn, Bs, Rrt, Ursula Nawab, Md, Erin Mcdermott

Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine Faculty Papers

Presented at: American Association of Respiratory Care.

Background

Chronic lung disease (CLD) is a multi-factorial respiratory disease of the preterm neonate for which mechanical ventilation is a significant contributor. Mechanical ventilator weaning protocols have been shown to reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation. A ventilator weaning protocol (VWP) based on Level I-III evidence was instituted in 2004. Compliance with existing VWP is unknown. CLD rates in our unit have increased over the past 3 years. Assessment of and understanding protocol compliance is an important first step in identifying internal factors which may contribute to CLD. Based on increasing rates of …

General Education In Health Science-Focused Institutions: An Explanatory Mixed Methods Study, Peggy K. Rosario

Department of Educational Administration: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The purpose of this study was to describe the structure of general education curricula at baccalaureate colleges of health science in relationship to Bergquist’s Career-Based Model of curriculum. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods approach, the model was tested by examining whether the curricula were both prescriptive and specific. First, the researcher analyzed how prescriptive the general education curricula at 38 colleges of health science were by evaluating the institutions’ catalogs and websites. In the qualitative phase, the researcher interviewed general education leaders at six of the colleges to confirm the quantitative data and obtain information about how specific the …
