Ordinary And Poor People In 18th-Century Delaware, John Bedell, Gerald P. Scharfenberger

Northeast Historical Archaeology

The authors and their colleagues have recently carried out excavations at three 18th-century farm sites in central Delaware. The Augustine Creek South and Thomas Dawson Sites were both occupied by ordinary property owners in the 1730 to 1770 period. The Augustine Creek North Site was occupied from about 1750 to 1810 by unknown but probably poor tenants, possibly in two chronologically separate occupations. At all three sites, architectural remains and artifact deposits were found. Analysis of these sites has focused on the question of how fully ordinary and poor people participated in the social, economic, and intellectural changes of the …

Telling Time For Archaeologists, George L. Miller, Patricia Samford, Ellen Shlasko, Andrew Madsen

Northeast Historical Archaeology

This essay presents an accumulation of data on the dates for common types of artifacts found on archaeological sites from the historical period. These dates come from a variety of sources and include a mix of types of dates. These dates are based on such things as patents, pattern registrations, dates when commercial production began, estimates of when production stopped, and the popularity ranges for various styles of wares based on makers' marks. The introductory essay discusses some of the problems in the sources of the dates presented.

A Comparison Of Student Academic Motivations Across Three Course Disciplines, Trent W. Maurer, Deborah Allen, Delena Bell Gatch, Padmini Shankar, Diana Sturges

Human Ecology: Faculty Publications

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations of undergraduate students enrolled in human anatomy and physiology, physics, and nutrition courses were explored with course discipline-specific adapted versions of the Academic Motivation Scale. Information on students’ study habits and efforts, and final course grades were also collected. Results revealed the adapted versions of the Academic Motivation Scale had comparable reliabilities to previous investigations, significant differences in motivations across the students enrolled in the three courses and significant influences of motivation on academic behaviors and course performance.

Population Control In Nigeria: Implications For Librarians, Pearl C. Akanwa, Emmanuel Uwazie Anyanwu, Oyemike Victor Ossai-Onah

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The need for population checks in any country cannot be over-emphasized. This need becomes very important in a country like Nigeria where people depend on speculations for information in all spheres of life. It was reported from the last census that the population of Nigeria is 167 million. This number is alarming in a country which depends on one source of income. The causes of over-population in the country are identified as, cultural beliefs, lack of sex and population education, religious beliefs etc. To avoid the side effects of over-population, which among others are ; mass poverty, increased death rate, …

Development Of Ergonomic-Axiomatic Design Parameters For Virtual Environment / Hartomo, - Hartomo

Student Works (2010-2019)

Ergonomic design of virtual environment will enhance the effectiveness of communication between the users and the virtual world, as well as avoiding the unwanted side effects, especially those affecting vision. Thus, it is highly essential to ensure that a set of design parameters of virtual environment should satisfy the ergonomic requirements and the user’s criteria. The objective of this study is to develop the ergonomic design parameters to design the virtual environment and to propose the methodology to invent ergonomic design parameters. Axiomatic design method is applied to map the physical domain that satisfies the functional domain and the functional …

Dosage Considerations For Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation In Children: A Computational Modeling Study, Sudha Kilaru Kessler, Preet Minhas, Adam J. Woods, Alyssa Rosen, Casey Gorman, Marom Bikson

Publications and Research

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is being widely investigated in adults as a therapeutic modality for brain disorders involving abnormal cortical excitability or disordered network activity. Interest is also growing in studying tDCS in children. Limited empirical studies in children suggest that tDCS is well tolerated and may have a similar safety profile as in adults. However, in electrotherapy as in pharmacotherapy, dose selection in children requires special attention, and simple extrapolation from adult studies may be inadequate. Critical aspects of dose adjustment include 1) differences in neurophysiology and disease, and 2) variation in brain electric fields for a specified …

A Study Of The Evolution Of The Angel Of Death In Jewish Literature, Carolyn Plocher, Dr. Jared Ludlow

Journal of Undergraduate Research

My original proposal was entitled “Ancient Near Eastern Perspectives on the Process of Death in the Hellenistic Period.” I initially chose this topic because the human fascination with death extends far back into history; in fact, it alone has been the reason for the founding of many cults, the erecting of innumerable monuments, and the writing of a great number of documents. Furthermore, the people most famous for their fascination with death are the inhabitants of the ancient Near East. Well-known examples of their enthrallment with death are the Egyptians who mummified their dead and built exquisite pyramids for funerary …

Economic Influence On Pediatric Health Care In A Medically Pluralistic Society: An Ethnographic Study Among The Asante People Of Ghana, Kevin Gamett, Dr. Randy Val Johnson, Dr. William Carl

Journal of Undergraduate Research

There are many factors that influence decisions regarding medical care, including financial, situational, and ideological issues. Families may choose to avoid modern health care facilities because of the costs associated with hospital stays, treatment regimes, transportation, and lost time. Long waiting times, disrespectful treatment from doctors and nurses, and family obligations are also qualitative issues that contribute to the eschewing of modern medicine. Other families choose to go to hospitals and health clinics because they believe that medicines are the ultimate source of healing, following the western paradigms set by principles of physiology, anatomy, chemistry, and internal medicine. In questions …

Cytotoxicity Of Traditional Medicinal Plants Of Ghana, Stephanie Henderson, Dr. Gary M. Booth

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Medicinal plants are the oldest known health-care products in the world (WHO, 1996), and according to the World Health Organization, 80% of the population in Africa still use traditional medicines for primary health care (WHO, 2003). The situation in Ghana is particularly significant. In the Upper Region of Ghana, a population of over 1.2 million, there is one traditional healer to approximately 490 people, as opposed to one biomedical physician to every 66,667 people (Boye and Ampofo, 1987).
