Holistic Responses To Campus Violence In The United States: Understanding The Needs Of Campus And Community - Based Service Providers--Research, Jennifer R. Wies, Caroline Reid, David C. May Dec 2013

Holistic Responses To Campus Violence In The United States: Understanding The Needs Of Campus And Community - Based Service Providers--Research, Jennifer R. Wies, Caroline Reid, David C. May

Journal of Excellence in College Teaching and Learning

Campus violence is a significant social and public health problem in the United States and poses a unique situation for service provision. Victims often have access to both campus-based and community-based services, as they are simultaneously students and citizens of a larger community. Therefore, understanding the needs of campus violence service providers is essential for enhancing responses to campus violence. This research identifies knowledge and service delivery needs among service providers to support a comprehensive approach to ending campus violence. Situated in the social-ecological model, this article discusses the results of a survey to identify knowledge and service delivery needs …


Secretion Of Interferon Gamma From Human Immune Cells Is Altered By Exposure To Tributyltin And Dibutyltin, Shanieek Lawrence, Jacqueline Reid, Margaret Whalen Dec 2013

Secretion Of Interferon Gamma From Human Immune Cells Is Altered By Exposure To Tributyltin And Dibutyltin, Shanieek Lawrence, Jacqueline Reid, Margaret Whalen

Chemistry Faculty Research

Tributyltin (TBT) and dibutyltin (DBT) are widespread environmental contaminants found in food, beverages, and human blood samples. Both of these butyltins (BTs) interfere with the ability of human natural killer (NK) cells to lyse target cells and alter secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) from human immune cells in vitro. The capacity of BTs to interfere with secretion of other pro-inflammatory cytokines has not been examined. Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is a modulator of adaptive and innate immune responses, playing an important role in overall immune competence. This study shows that both TBT and DBT alter secretion …

Purifying The Human Rna-Lariat Debranching Enzyme, Ammar Saigal Dec 2013

Purifying The Human Rna-Lariat Debranching Enzyme, Ammar Saigal

Honors Program Theses and Research Projects

This project is my first official research endeavor and it involved becoming acquainted with a large variety of biochemistry and molecular biology techniques. The goal is to elucidate the structure of a protein common to most if not all cells of organisms within the Domain Eukarya, which is one of the three taxonomic domains into which all life is categorized. This is the domain most relevant to human beings as it includes plants, fungi, and animals (from a strictly biologically-taxonomic perspective, the species Homo sapiens to which you and I belong is considered belonging to the Kingdom Animalia [Animal]).


Tutor Assisted Vocabulary Support: Easing The Vocabulary Load For Burundian Refugees Studying For The U.S. Citizenship Test, Eleanor Anne Clark Dec 2013

Tutor Assisted Vocabulary Support: Easing The Vocabulary Load For Burundian Refugees Studying For The U.S. Citizenship Test, Eleanor Anne Clark

Theses and Dissertations

The focus of this thesis was to develop vocabulary materials to supplement those already in use for emergent literate Burundian refugees preparing for the U.S. Citizenship Test. These learners study in conjunction with the International Rescue Committee in Salt Lake City, Utah, and with volunteer tutors who help them study. The flashcards and supporting activities were designed to better enable tutors to teach learners highly-dense vocabulary items, as well as to provide vocabulary scaffolding support for both learners and tutors and to increase depth of vocabulary knowledge with the target vocabulary.
