Rain Gardens: The Return Of Ecosystem Services, Katie Dehaan

Honors Theses

In the modern world impervious surfaces, especially in urban areas, abound. These include roads, highways, sidewalks, parking lots, and roofs that have replaced permeable surfaces, mainly open land, forests, and wetlands. Rainwater runs off of these surfaces collecting pollutants on its way to permeable areas. Rain gardens collect and process rainwater. Native plants with deep root systems process large volumes of rainwater and the microorganisms living in the soils and roots can process pollutants. The purpose of my research was to find out what variables affect species presence or absence in rain gardens. Species presence or absence at the time …

This study was used to compare faculty knowledge and the knowledge of the general population. 91 participant responses were analyzed. …

Origins, Zoey M. Perse

Theses

Origins are beginnings. Everyone has an origin, a point from which their path brought them to the person that they are today. Some origins are from birth and lead in winding lines to a person’s present. Some origins come after birth and may take the form of an event, person or place that touched a life and drastically affected their path, pushing or pulling them to become an entirely different person than would have otherwise come about.

My own origin was the moment I was given into the arms of my adoptive parents. I was wrapped in layers of clothes, …

Kartograpiya Ng Pagbabago Sa Arkipelago Ng Nobelang Ang Lihim Ng Isang Pulo Ni Faustino Aguilar: Isang Metakomentaryo, E San Juan Jr.

Katipunan

Ginagamit ng pag-aaral ang nobelang Ang Lihim ng Isang Pulo ni Faustino Aguilar upang imapa ang pagbabago ng kasaysayan at imahinasyon sa arkipelago ng Pilipinas mula sa panahon na kalikasan ang nagdidikta ng kapalaran ng mga nilalang tungo sa pagbubukas sa komersiyong pangkapuluan at kalauna’y pandaigdigan. Muling binabasa ng pag-aaral ang kalikasan mula imahen ng ugali, kostumbre at kinagawian na nagkukubli sa mga kasamaang mapagkunwari, tungo sa isang kalikasan bilang saganang bunga ng pagtugma ng mapanlikhang pawis ng tao at mapagpaunlaking proseso ng kalikasan. At sa pinakaubod ng ganitong mga pagbabago, ang tunggalian ng maharlika at timawa, ng naghaharing-uri at …

Increasing The Reinforcing Value Of Exercise In Overweight Adults, Kyle D. Flack, Kelsey Elise Ufholz, Luann Johnson, James N. Roemmich

Dietetics and Human Nutrition Faculty Publications

Objectives: This study determined whether a moderate- or high-dose exercise program increases exercise reinforcement. Increasing the relative reinforcing value of exercise (RRV_exercise; i.e., incentive sensitization of exercise) may increase the usual physical activity (PA) participation. Preference and/or tolerance for the intensity of exercise was also assessed.

Design: Sedentary men and women (body mass index, BMI: 25–35 kg/m²) were randomized into parallel exercise training groups expending either 300 (n = 18) or 600 (n = 18) kcal/exercise session, five sessions/week, for 12 weeks.

Methods: The RRV_exercise was determined by how much …

Flightless, Danielle Gorin

Theses

The stories in this collection occupy a range of genres: realist literary fiction, slice of life, horror, magical realism/fabulism. While most of the pieces are short fiction, there is one short short, and one flash piece. What unites these disparate styles and forms is a concern with the everyday, with family dramas. Flightless is interested in exploring the dynamics of different familial relationships, particularly that of mothers and their children. These relationships, even good ones, can be fraught with expectations, guilt, and feelings of obligation unique to the expected roles of mothers and children, and my stories seek to investigate …

Research objective: to assess efficiency of application of bio preparations in the correction of intestinal dysbacteriosis taking into account the results of “Load” test in vitro in children with chronic hepatitis B together with giardiasis. Material and methods. We examined one hundred and fifty children with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) with concomitant giardiasis in the age from 3 to 18 years old. The diagnosis was based on data from history, results of clinical tests, biochemical and instrumental tests. Laboratory diagnostics of giardiasis was performed using the following methods: immune fluorescent method (G. Lamblia antigen in feces), polymerase chain reaction (G. …

Scientific, Methodological And Organizational Bases Of Management Of The Epidemic Process In Case Of Salmonellous Infection In Uzbekistan, Оmon М. Mirtazayev, Nikolay I. Briko, Gulbakhor S. Matnazarova, Nargiza S. Saidkasimova

Central Asian Journal of Medicine

In the last decade, the epidemiological characteristics of salmonellosis have changed, in particular, the incidence of human disease has increased, and salmonella infection of farm animals, birds and the environment has increased. The increasing epidemiological role of agricultural birds and industrial poultry products, the relationship between epizootic and epidemic processes require the restructuring of the existing system of epidemiological surveillance of salmonellosis under epizootic and epidemiological supervision. On the basis of the results of scientific research, epizoolic-epidemiological supervision of salmonellosis has been developed, in relation to the conditions of Uzbekistan.

Microhemodynamic Parameters Of Cortical Substance Of Kidneys At Experimental Hydronephrosis, Bakhtiyar U. Iriskulov, Rano B. Tadjibayeva

Central Asian Journal of Medicine

Research objective. Under conditions of unilateral ureter occlusion, development of microhemodynamic disorders of cortical substance in kidneys was studied both on the damage side and on contralateral (opposite) side. Materials and methods. Under the conditions of the experiment, we studied the state of microhemodynamics of the cortical region of both kidneys during the development of unilateral hydronephrosis. The experiments were conducted on 90 (48 experimental, 36 false-operated, 6 intact) outbred adult males. Results. It has been established that disorders on the side of occlusion depend on duration of obstruction in lumen of ureter, which determines the development of tissue hypoxia …
