The Combined Effect Of Formalin Fixation And Individual Steps In Tissue Processing On Immunorecognition, Dennis Otali
The Combined Effect Of Formalin Fixation And Individual Steps In Tissue Processing On Immunorecognition, Dennis Otali
All ETDs from UAB
Because of many unanswered questions in this area, we investigated the effects of formalin fixation and the steps in tissue processing on immunohistochemical detection of specific antigen-antibody combinations of two cell cycle markers; proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki67/MIB-1. As a model to study these effects, we used cultured cells fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) alone and fixed in 10% NBF plus separately, the alcohols, xylene and paraffin used in each individual step in tissue processing. We found that in staining for PCNA, a proliferation antigen requires some fixation but that fixation with 10% NBF does not …
Grassroots Policy Prescription: A Case Study In Light Pollution And Night Sky Preservation And Natural Resource Policy Making, Brandi L. Smith
Grassroots Policy Prescription: A Case Study In Light Pollution And Night Sky Preservation And Natural Resource Policy Making, Brandi L. Smith
All ETDs from UAB
The grassroots path to public policy is characterized by citizen pressure on policy makers to produce desired change and has been especially successful in the realm of natural resources. It has proven successful in the obtainment of various local and state level policy to control light pollution in the United States. Light pollution, defined as misdirected, obtrusive, or unwanted man-made outdoor lighting is a modern phenomenon that, among other effects, is resulting in the rapid loss of visible starscape throughout the world. Independent grassroots-initiated policies have sprung up around the globe in attempt to control light pollution. The present thesis …
Five Mile Creek Bioassessment Study: Baseline Evaluation Of Stream Health Using Fish Communities, Louis David Viamonte
Five Mile Creek Bioassessment Study: Baseline Evaluation Of Stream Health Using Fish Communities, Louis David Viamonte
All ETDs from UAB
During the fall of 2005 and spring of 2006, habitat assessments and rapid bioassessments were conducted at six sites on 100 m reaches on Five Mile Creek in Jefferson County, Alabama and two sites on neighboring rural streams that were used as references. Habitat scores and index of biotic integrity (IBI) scores for the fish communities were calculated for all sites. The IBI scores on Five Mile Creek did not compare well with one of the reference streams and suggest impairment. The habitat scores for the Five Mile Creek sites were similar to the scores of the reference streams. The …
The Decision To Move: An Analysis Of Factors That Influence African Americans In The Ghetto, Lonnie Hannon
The Decision To Move: An Analysis Of Factors That Influence African Americans In The Ghetto, Lonnie Hannon
All ETDs from UAB
The decision to move among African Americans in a poor community encom-passes individual, household, and neighborhood characteristics. Previous research fo-cuses on the frequently studied middle class. Meanwhile substantive analyses on African Americans from poor communities remain largely understudied. The current study uses data from a low income African American community to study residential mobility deci-sions. A systematic, random sample of respondents completed a survey concerning their residential situation. Data were triangulated to add reliability and richness to the find-ings. The results show that the decision to move is not a function of residential satisfac-tion, but is influenced by neighborhood and …
Synthesis And Characterization Of Phosphorus-Containing Inorganic Polymers, Ronald Dustan Myrex
Synthesis And Characterization Of Phosphorus-Containing Inorganic Polymers, Ronald Dustan Myrex
All ETDs from UAB
This research project involves the synthesis of novel phosphorus-containing inorganic polymers. These materials share similar structures to their organic counterparts but are not comprised entirely of hydrocarbons as the latter. As such they may serve as replacements for organic materials, a growing concern as the price of petroleum feed stocks continues to increase. Paper 1 investigates transesterification polymerizations of poly(alkylene phosphonates) through phosphorous and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A methyl-transfer side reaction was identified and steps to eliminate its occurrence were created. This also allowed for the elimination of a dangerous step in the synthesis procedure. Paper 2 investigates …
Deprofessionalization Of The Corporate Optometrist? Contrasting Characteristics Of The Bureaucratic And Professional Models, R Michael Taylor
Deprofessionalization Of The Corporate Optometrist? Contrasting Characteristics Of The Bureaucratic And Professional Models, R Michael Taylor
All ETDs from UAB
This study will investigate whether professional status differs between corporate and noncorporate optometrists by comparing their levels of autonomy, income, and job satisfaction. According to Freidson’s ideal model, a professional maintains high levels of autonomy and income but the opposite is usually true for employees of Weber’s traditional bureaucracy. Bureaucracies employ formally rational processes such as hierarchical decision-making and limited employee profit sharing which have affects on healthcare professional independence. The primary objective of many American corporations is to maximize profits for shareholders. While the health professional also strives to maximize profits, this objective is often balanced with an ethical …

Brain Drain Or Brain Exchange? The Effect Of Skilled Migration On Sending And Receiving Countries: A Perspective Of Kenyans In The U.S., Polly W. Kamau
Brain Drain Or Brain Exchange? The Effect Of Skilled Migration On Sending And Receiving Countries: A Perspective Of Kenyans In The U.S., Polly W. Kamau
All ETDs from UAB
Every year, thousands of skilled individuals leave their countries of origin and migrate to other more developed countries. The more developed and industrialized nations are increasingly competing to recruit highly skilled immigrants to meet labor shortages. Developing countries continue to lose their skilled professionals to developed countries like the U.S and the UK. The steady supply of skilled immigrants is important for developed economies because these immigrants bring skills that are in short supply, raise productivity and they help create additional jobs through entrepreneurship activities. Sending countries on the other hand may have a lot to gain in terms of …
Gender Bending And Comic Books As Art: Issues Of Appropriation, Gender, And Sexuality In Japanese Art, Harley Blue Acres
Gender Bending And Comic Books As Art: Issues Of Appropriation, Gender, And Sexuality In Japanese Art, Harley Blue Acres
All ETDs from UAB
In Japanese high art, popular art (such as comic books and animation), theater, and music, representation of gender is a blurred line that is commonly crossed, more so than in the West. I argue that this fluidity is the result of disparate artistic sources that have filtered through Japanese culture since the Edo Period (1603-1867) with the flourishing of Kabuki Theater (in which men played women on stage) and the emergence of ukiyo-e (particularly shunga/erotica prints). This artistic lineage impacted arts of the Showa Period (1926-1989) notably Takarazuka Theater (which feature an exclusively female cast that portrays men) and the …
Determinants That Confer Stop Codon Specificity To Tetrahymena Thermophila Erf1, Cara Hope Heath
Determinants That Confer Stop Codon Specificity To Tetrahymena Thermophila Erf1, Cara Hope Heath
All ETDs from UAB
In eukaryotes, translation termination is a process which is initiated by the presence of a stop codon in the A site of the ribosome and mediated by the binding of a release factor (eRF1). In most eukaryotes, any one of three stop codons UGA, UAG, or UAA, is required for the binding of eRF1. However some organisms, such as the ciliates, have diverged from this universal coding. In one type of ciliate species, Tetrahymena thermophila, UAA and UAG are no longer recognized as stop codons and now both encode a glutamine residue. It was previously thought that domain 1 of …
Mesofauna Associated With The Subtropical/Tropical Marine Sponge Amphimedon Viridis : Are Faunal Associations Likely To Provide Refuge From Fish Predation Due To Physical Or Chemical Feeding Deterrent Properties Of This Sponge?, Jonathan Huang
All ETDs from UAB
Sessile benthic marine organisms such as sponges are frequently colonized by a wide diversity of invertebrates. The present study focused on a quantitative analysis of the mesofauna associated with the common subtropical/tropical sponge Amphimedon viridis and explored several criteria for the basis for this mesofauna-sponge relationship. Specimens of Amphimedon viridis were hand-collected individually in bags from both Saint Joseph Bay, Florida Panhandle, and Sugar Loaf Key, Florida Keys between April - November 2006. Quantitative analyses of sponge surfaces and interiors revealed that the most common sponge-associated group was comprised of amphipods, followed by polychaetes and tenaid crustaceans. 35 percent of …
Verbal Agression In Military Communication: Genetics Vs. Environment, Scott Gregory Johnson
Verbal Agression In Military Communication: Genetics Vs. Environment, Scott Gregory Johnson
All ETDs from UAB
A content analysis was done on various studies involving hormonal effects on verbal and physical aggression in animals ranging from “old world monkeys” to humans in order to prove that genetics is responsible for verbal aggressiveness used by military personnel in the contemporary operating environment. The prevailing belief set is that the military is more aggressive than other social and vocational groups. The analysis shows that military members do not differ in neurophysiology from other groups and species. Only studies on animals with human-like limbic systems were used. The analy-sis includes discussions on the evolution of the use of pure …
