Assessment Of Pulmonary Fibrogenic Potential Of Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes In Vitro., Anurag Mishra

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) have many applications due to their unique mechanical and electrical properties. However, these fiber shaped materials have been shown to possess unusual fibrogenic activity in vivo and are currently the focus of intense toxicological investigations. To date very few detailed mechanistic studies on the fibrogenic activity of CNT have been reported. The aim of this series of studies is to determine fibrogenic potential of well dispersed MWCNT in human lung cell culture models and develop a novel platform for understanding the cellular mechanisms of MWCNT-induced lung fibrosis. Dispersion of large agglomerates of MWCNT in suspension to …

The Influence Of International Human Trafficking On United States Prostitution Laws: The Case Of Expungement Laws, Carrie N. Baker

Study of Women, Gender, & Sexuality: Faculty Publications

When the issue of human trafficking first gained widespread public attention in the United States in the 1990s, the discussion centered on international human trafficking. In 2000, the United States passed an anti-trafficking law, popularly called the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), and the United Nations adopted an anti-trafficking treaty called the Palermo Protocol. Both the TVPA and the Palermo Protocol focused on combating international human trafficking by encouraging countries around the world to pass laws against trafficking and prosecute traffickers. Meanwhile, in the United States, state-level criminal justice systems treated United States citizens qualifying under the federal definition of …

The Young Lords In Lincoln Park, José Jiménez

Student Summer Scholars Manuscripts

Founded in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood in 1968, The Young Lords transformed themselves from what had originally been a street gang into a political organization. These activists dedicated themselves to challenging the forced displacement of Puerto Ricans from their homes through urban renewal, Puerto Rican nationalism, and the struggle for democratic rights for all Latinos and the poor. This project explores the experience of these activists, focusing particularly on the community context in which the organization was founded and grown. Drawing upon the more than 75 oral histories and related photographs and archives, Mr. Jiménez has collected in the course …

The Effect Of An External Auditory Stimulus On Postural Stability Of Participants With Cochlear Implants, Rachael Jeanette Mangiore

An American Mess: How Colorblind Racism Prevents An Enlightened Conversation On Race In Television Media, Nathaniel Phillipps

McNair Poster Presentations

This project aims to demonstrate how the current racial ideology in America is portrayed through television media. It is primarily guided by the work of Eduardo Bonita-Silva and his masterful examination of post-civil rights racism in the United States in his book Racism Without Racists. From a firm understanding of the ideology of this new racism -- its frames, styles, and storylines -- the content of two televisions shows are analyzed to identify the racial ideology and the representations of people of color within.
