Interview With Eileen Gregory, Eileen Gregory, Wenxian Zhang

Oral Histories

Eileen Gregory received her BS from Michigan State University, an MS & PhD in microbiology from The University of Washington, where her research focused on freshwater bacteria. As a young professor in Biology, Eileen Gregory came to Rollins College in 1979, one of two women in the department’s faculty of five, when the sciences were dominated by men. She never expected to be at Rollins all her professional career: “I came to Rollins with the idea that I would stay here for three years and move on,” Gregory says. “But I love my colleagues; I love my students; and for …

Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Goal Setting And Textual Feedback Using A Wearable Technology For Increasing Running Distance, Michael Zarate

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Obesity is a growing problem that has life-threatening health consequences. One way to combat obesity is by increasing physical activity levels, which has been a focus of recent applied behavioral research. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of goal setting and textual feedback without social support to increase physical activity, specifically weekly running distance. A multiple-baseline across participants design was employed with four participants using a Fitbit Flex accelerometer to collect two physical activity measures, intense steps and distance. Results showed a significant increase in weekly running distance for two out of four participants following the …

Agricultural Productivity Growth And The Role Of Capital In South Asia (1980–2013), A Anik, S Rahman, J Sarker

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

The study assessed agricultural sustainability in South Asia (i.e., Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and Nepal) by computing multi-lateral multi-temporal Total Factor Productivity (TFP) indices and their six finer components (technical change, technical-, scale- and mix-efficiency changes, residual scale and residual mix-efficiency changes) and examined the role of capital in driving TFP growth covering a 34-year period (1980-2013). Results revealed that all countries sustained agricultural productivity growth at variable rates with Bangladesh experiencing highest rate estimated @1.05% p.a. followed by India (0.52%), Pakistan (0.38%) and Nepal (0.06% p.a.). There were little or no variation in technical and scale efficiency changes among the …

Penilaian Kromium Serum Darah Pada Penyandang Diabetes Mellitus Tipe 2 Dan Non Diabetes, Susi Nurohmi, Rimbawan Rimbawan, Faisal Anwar, Adi Teruna Efendi

Media Kesehatan Masyarakat Indonesia

Diabetes mellitus tipe 2 merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan dunia. Berdasarkan survei Riskesdas 2013, prevalensi dari diabetes melitus tipe 2 di Indonesia pada usia 15 tahun atau lebih adalah 6.9%.

Food Access Narratives In Southeast Portland, Oregon, Gwyneth Genevieve Mckee Manser

Dissertations and Theses

Since the late 1990's, "food deserts" have dominated the academic and policy literature on food access and food security. Food deserts are defined as areas that lack easy access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food, and are typically measured using Geographic Information Systems and spatial data sets. However, while food deserts may provide a useful measure for identifying food insecurity at a broad scale, they fail to account for individual definitions and perceptions of food access (Barnes et al. 2015; McEntee 2009). Furthermore, the food desert model assumes a lack of agency on the part of low-income populations (Alkon et …

Hunter-Gatherer Residential Mobility And The Marginal Value Of Rainforest Patches, Vivek V. Venkataraman, Thomas S. Kraft, Nathaniel J. Dominy, Kirk M. Endicott

Dartmouth Scholarship

The residential mobility patterns of modern hunter-gatherers broadly reflect local resource availability, but the proximate ecological and social forces that determine the timing of camp movements are poorly known. We tested the hypothesis that the timing of such moves maximizes foraging efficiency as hunter-gatherers move across the landscape. The marginal value theorem predicts when a group should depart a camp and its associated foraging area and move to another based on declining marginal return rates. This influential model has yet to be directly applied in a population of hunter-gatherers, primarily because the shape of gain curves (cumulative resource acquisition through …

Proposal On International Healthy Chinese Microbiome Project, Zhao Liping, Zhang Chenhong

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

Humans are superorganisms with two genomes that dictate phenotype, the genetically inherited human genome (25 000 genes) and the environmentally acquired human microbiome (over 1 million genes). The two genomes must work in harmonious integration as a hologenome to maintain health. Poorly balanced diets can turn the gut microbiome from a partner for health to a "pathogen" in chronic diseases, for example, Type 2 diabetes and cancers. Due to the tight integration of gut microbiota into human global metabolism, molecular profiling of urine metabolites can provide a new window for reflecting physiological functions of gut microbiomes. Changes of gut microbiota …

Crop Microbiome: Breakthrough Technology For Agriculture, Bai Yang, Qian Jingmei, Zhou Jianmin, Qian Wei

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

Plant microbiomics is an emerging research field that aims to solve scientific problems in plant-microbe interactions and facilitates the development of creative agricultural biotechnology. In recent years, achievements have been made in deciphering the relationships among crop-microbiome-soil, improving nutrition supply and plant development by microbes, and enhancing plant adaptive responses to defend multiple biotic or abiotic stresses. Developed by researchers and successfully applied in the field, microbiome-based biotechnologies have exhibited promising potential in agriculture by decreasing the usage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and increasing the crop production. To reach to a sustainable agriculture, China has to reinforce the financial …

Development Of Comprehensive Microbiome Big Data Warehouse/Center For Long-Term Scientific Impact, Zhang Guoqing, Ning Kang, Zhi Xiaoyang, Liu Wan, Xu Ping, Zhou Haokui, Hu Qiannan, Zhao Guoping

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

It was the scientific concept and related technology of metagenomics that initiated the microbiome research. These microbiome research projects conducted globally have led to the acquisition huge amount of data and data sets of microbial genomes related to human health, animals, plants and environments. Consequently, various kinds of microbiome databases and analytical platforms are booming. However, besides the designed specific project-oriented status for some of the databases, most of the current microbiome data platforms merely focus on the development of reference data catalog and metagenome data sets, and mainly support the studies of "molecular ecology" aspect of microbiomes and/or the …

Microbiome is the total microbial community of certain environment. Microbiome is considered to play a crucial role on the nutrition metabolism, degradation of pollutant, maintain a balance of ecosystem of animal, plant and human beings although the fundamental mechanism is still unknown. The tremendous development of broad application of high throughput sequencing technology provides the possibility to comprehensive understanding of the composition and functions of microbiome from the view of whole genome sequencing. Microbiome has gradually become a research focus recently. The United States and EU launched national and international projects on microbiome. However, data management and high through-put data …
