There is strong evidence that participatory approaches to health and participatory women’s groups hold great potential to improve the health of women and children in resource poor settings. It is important to consider if interventions are reaching the most marginalized, and therefore we examined disabled women’s participation in women’s groups and other community groups in rural Nepal. People with disabilities constitute 15% of the world’s population and face high levels of poverty, stigma, social marginalization and unequal access to health resources, and therefore their access to women’s groups is particularly important. We used a mixed methods approach to describe attendance …

High-Solids Anaerobic Digestion Of The Organic Fraction Of Municipal Solid Waste State Of The Art, Outlook In Florida, And Enhancing Methane Yields From Lignocellulosic Wastes, Gregory Richard Hinds

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a biotechnology that employs natural microbial metabolism under oxygen-free conditions to stabilize organic waste. AD has been shown to be the most environmentally sustainable technology for treating the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW), as it allows for the recovery of energy and nutrients from the waste. AD of OFMSW also saves landfill space and reduces leachate generation and fugitive methane emissions from landfills. High-solids AD (HS-AD) technologies (those designed to process feedstocks with >15% total solids content) have been shown to yield additional benefits when compared with liquid AD (L-AD) for treating OFMSW, including …

A university is more than an amalgamation of several colleges. It also is an organization which celebrates the full richness of faculty contributions including those vital and exciting contributions in research, scholarship and creative activity within their disciplines. These contributions come in many forms: journal articles, book chapters, monographs, art works, music compositions, performances of many varieties and a host of others. Funded research contributions are similarly varied. Through such activities, faculty members stay at the growing edges of their fields, and in so doing, they enrich their intellectual lives as well as those of their students.

Brisket had the largest amount of hydrocarbons, which is twice as much as tenderloin, and topside. Topside had the lowest level of ketones, which is only 2.928%. Different parts of meat sample had different type and proportion of total volatiles flavor compounds. …

Effects Of Quinolones On Hemolymph Enzymes Of Chinese Mitten Crab, Eriocheir Sinensis, Wang Haichao, Zhang Xingtao, Dong Zeng, Wu Xiao

Food and Machinery

Norfloxacin, ofloxacin and enorfloxacin, the most common used quinolones in aquaculture, were evaluated for the effects on hemolymph enzymes of Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis. The hemolymphs were collected at regular time for detection of phenoloxidase(PO), peroxidase(POD), alkaline phosphatase(ALP), lysozyme(LSZ), superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase(AST) and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase(ALT) after Chinese mitten crab were injected intramuscularly with quinolones at concentration of 5 μg/kg. The results showed that activity of PO, POD, ALP, LSZ and SOD increased respectively(P<0.05), and the effect of enorfloxacin experimental group was very obvious(P<0.01), and decreased to the normal levels as the control group at 96 h. The activity of AST and ALT after quinolones injection showed significantly lower during the experimental period(P<0.05). These results indicated that quinolones did not result in inhibition on hemolymph immune enzyme and damage on viscera organs. Moreover, quinolones showed immune enhancement on at concentration of 5 μg/kg.

Detection Of Methimazole Residue In Animal-Derived Foods By Combining Solid-Phase Extraction With High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Chi Yonghong, Yun Yaguang

Food and Machinery

The residue of antithyroid drug - methimazole in animal-derived food products was studied. The complex matrix of food products was purified by using Cleanert S C₁₈ solid-phase extraction column and the experimental parameters including the loading solvent, washing solution and the eluent were optimized in detail. The method for the accurate and sensitive detection of trace methimazole in pig kidney, liver and muscle samples was successfully developed by combining solid-phase extraction with high performance liquid chromatography. Under the optimized experimental conditions, good recoveries (>85%) were obtained at three spiked concentrations in chosen animal-derived samples with RSD less than …

The Corpus Callosum In Primates: Processing Speed Of Axons And The Evolution Of Hemispheric Asymmetry, Kimberley A. Phillips, Cheryl D. Stimpson, J. B. Smaers, Mary Ann Raghanti, B. Jacobs, A. Popratiloff, Patrick R. Hof, Chet C. Sherwood

Psychology Faculty Research

Interhemispheric communication may be constrained as brain size increases because of transmission delays in action potentials over the length of axons. Although one might expect larger brains to have progressively thicker axons to compensate, spatial packing is a limiting factor. Axon size distributions within the primate corpus callosum (CC) may provide insights into how these demands affect conduction velocity. We used electron microscopy to explore phylogenetic variation in myelinated axon density and diameter of the CC from 14 different anthropoid primate species, including humans. The majority of axons were less than 1 µm in diameter across all species, indicating that …

Riparian Plant Isotopes Reflect Anthropogenic Nitrogen Perturbations: Robust Patterns Across Land Use Gradients, Steven J. Hall, Rebecca L. Hale, Michelle A. Baker, David R. Bowling, James R. Ehleringer

Biology Faculty Publications

Riparian plants incorporate nitrogen (N) from aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric sources, and their stable isotope compositions (δ¹⁵ N) may reflect land use impacts on N sources and transformations over scales of sites to watersheds. We surveyed leaf δ¹⁵ N values of 11 common riparian tree, shrub, and herbaceous species from 20 streams and rivers spanning three fifth-order watersheds in northern Utah, USA (n - 255 sites and 819 leaf samples). Streams spanned undeveloped montane forests to suburban, urban, and agricultural lands. Mean species-specific differences in leaf δ¹⁵N values were relatively small within sites (1.2 ± 2.2‰), …

Reinforcing Endothelial Junctions Prevents Microvessel Permeability Increase And Tumor Cell Adhesion In Microvessels In Vivo, Bingmei M. Fu, Jinlin Yang, Bin Cai, Jie Fan, Lin Zhang, Min Zeng

Publications and Research

Tumor cell adhesion to the microvessel wall is a critical step during tumor metastasis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a secretion of tumor cells, can increase microvessel permeability and tumor cell adhesion in the microvessel. To test the hypothesis that inhibiting permeability increase can reduce tumor cell adhesion, we used in vivo fluorescence microscopy to measure both microvessel permeability and adhesion rates of human mammary carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells in post-capillary venules of rat mesentery under the treatment of VEGF and a cAMP analog, 8-bromo-cAMP, which can decrease microvessel permeability. By immunostaining adherens junction proteins between endothelial cells forming the microvessel …

Marshall Journal of Medicine

This report attempts to frame the debate about clinical administration of sodium bicarbonate in the setting of lactic acidosis in terms of simple questions. Specifically, we address why we develop lactic acidosis in some circumstances, how acute lactic acidosis impairs cardiovascular function and why sodium bicarbonate may have deleterious effects which limit its utility. We also attempt to explore treatment alternatives to sodium bicarbonate.

Cross-Sectional Survey Of Relevant Literatures As To The Current Proposed Disease Mechanisms And Treatments Of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Als), Zachary Sanford

Marshall Journal of Medicine

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), more commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressively degenerative neuromuscular disorder affecting both the upper and lower motor neurons and preferentially affecting males in their forties to seventies. Although the pathology of ALS has been clearly elucidated elsewhere, the precise mechanisms by which the disease progresses and the means by which it is acquired are still poorly understood areas of medicine. Current genomic and proteomic studies in human and animal models have yielded exciting and promising new findings that may help elucidate this pathology. It is the purpose of this review article to …
