Worker, length 9 - 48 th of an inch, head shorter, proportionally, and eyes larger; thoracic spines longer, straighter; 1 st abdominal pedicle longer and less raised than in the last; entirely of a rufous colour. This is a very closely allied species and is found in the same localities as the last. Had I found it in a different tract of country I would have perhaps considered it as a climatal variety, but its large size, and the few points enumerated above lead me to view it as distinct. Its habits are similar.

description: 20. Myrmica kirbzii Sykes?
I regret that I have mislaid my copy of the Entomological Transactions in which this Ant and several others were described, but the similarity of the nest and its general description led me to conclude that the species procured by me is identical with Colonel Sykes' one.
Is very closely allied to the two last, has its thorax larger, rough, and much ridged; its thoracic spines larger; first abdominal pedicle somewhat diamond shaped, second heart shaped; the abdomen strongly ridged longitudinally; head thorax and legs dark marroon; abdomen dark brown. Length 7 - 48 th of an inch.
I have found this species chiefly in the elevated forests of the Wynaad. I cannot say that I have met it below the ghauts. It forms a considerable nest of some papyraceous materials, usually of an oval form, and placed round a small branch which supports it. It is very numerous in individuals, countless swarms issuing from it on being disturbed and boldly attacking the assailant both with teeth and sting. It feeds on honey of flowers and other vegetable secretions.

The effects of Cys to Ser substitutions in OxyR on the response of E. coli to stress induced by copper (II) sulfate, diamide, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, kanamycin, and methyl viologen dichloride

description: OxyR is a redox-sensitive transcriptional regulator that activates the expression of defense genes responsible for an oxidative stress response in Escherichia coli.  The transcription factor is activated by the modification of thiols. Six cysteine residues are in the amino acid sequence of OxyR; two are evolutionarily conserved at positions 199 and 208. Cys-199 is critical for protein activity and Cys-208 is essential for protein activity. An oxyR knock out line, TA4112, was complemented with plasmids containing oxyR with altered cysteines.  Cysteine to serine point mutations allowed for further investigation into the role of cysteines in OxyR. The resulting bacteria were grown on agar plates containing different chemical stressors. Using the Carestream Molecular Imaging camera / software system, the total colony number and the mean of the area of the colonies were recorded. Stressors producing reactive oxygen species were shown to impart cysteine-dependent effects. However, the results from each reactive oxygen species did not produce similar data. Stressors that did not produce reactive oxygen species resulted in no significant data. The differences in distribution observed on the untreated E.coli plates appeared to go away in the presence of a stressor. The plating assay demonstrated that cell lines expressing C208S produced differences in the number and area of colonies. H2O2 analysis in liquid culture produced alterations in growth for cell lines with Cys-199 when controls are corrected for. Diamide does not result in significant changes in growth in the critical Cys-199 or the important Cys-208. This work sheds light on E. coli response to stress and that OxyR response is altered by Cys to Ser substitutions.

The disparities of obesity and African American women
Creators: name: Harris, Kiyia M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: An increase in the prevalence of obesity amongst American women over the last several years has raised major concern from public health professionals, as well as medical and economic professionals. With that in mind, this paper will examine the different factors and their interrelationships that have been suggested as being correlated with obesity among African American women, the environment, culture and socioeconomic status. It is widely recognized that obesity increases with the lack of income and education, and more commonly impacts the lives of African American and other minority women differently than their Caucasian counterparts. This paper will also discuss why these socio-economic factors are so prevalent amongst this particular cohort.  Obesity continues to be a public health concern in the United States and throughout the world. Over seventy two million Americans are considered to be obese. It is clear that most people are aware of or have some knowledge of the health risks and discomforts of obesity. “Between 1980 and 2004, the prevalence of obesity doubled in the United States. There were no significant obesity differences that existed between women and men. Adults between forty to fifty nine years were likely to be more obese compared with older and younger individuals. There were no significant obesity differences that existed between the younger women and the oldest women (over sixty years). However, there were large disparities in obesity prevalence by race-ethnic groups among women. Non-Hispanic black and Mexican-American women were more likely to be obese than white women. Race/ethnic disparities in obesity were not observed in men” (National Center for Health Statistics, 2007).

description: Many of these poems were written and revised in my time as a student in the MFA program. My aim was to not only explore language, image, and narrative as a way to explore human psychology and relationships, but also to make arguments about the historical implications of violence and death. In my view, every generation of humans feel they are witnessing the end of history. Ultimately, fascination with apocalypse is narcissistic. Every human being feels the unique quality of their own existence, making every death, in a sense, an apocalypse. It is my desire that this collection speaks not only to the human fascination with the end of the world, but also the frailties of the heart that have existed with all people in all times. I would like to thank Lisa Zeidner, Joe Barbarese, Rachel Hadas, Darcy Cummings, Elaine Tarranova, Eric Pankey, and Brian Brodeur for the all the help they have given me in putting this thesis together.
Blair Humphrey's secret
Creators: name: Hoffman, Bryan Paul
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Blair Humphreys’s Secret is about a misfit girl named Blair Humphreys. Blair’s father has died, mother is insane, and is routinely ridiculed by her classmates. Blair herself is extremely tall for her age and quite thin. She is a brooding loner. At the age of six, after having lived alone with her lunatic mother for several months, Blair’s grandmother (whom she calls “Gram”) comes to live with her. Blair hadn’t seen Gram since she was about four years old. Gram had flitted in and out of Blair’s life, showing up between research projects. When the story begins, Blair is twelve years old. It isHalloween night and there appear to be monsters lurking in the bushes outside Blair’s home. In reality, the “monsters” are Blair’s classmates—the ones who have been tormenting her. They have come to witness the specter that appears on stormy nights onthe roof of the Humphreys’s home. The specter is Blair’s mother, who raves and mumbles on the rooftop. Blair and Gram share a tender relationship. Gram is always trying to nurture Blair and help her to confront her demons. Gram is forever trying to build up Blair’s confidence. Gram is a mysterious figure. She has spent most of her life as an entomologist and archaeologist, traveling the world from one research project toanother. The same night the “monsters” haunt Blair’s garden, Gram gives Blair a mysterious ring with a blue star sapphire in its setting. Blair quickly discovers that the ring transports her into a strange cave in the woods near her home. The cave walls glow with a blue light. Blair tries to discover what other secrets the ring holds, but her efforts are in vain. One day her tormentors, the same gang that haunted her garden, witness herdisappearing. They wait for her to return and force her to take them to the cave. Once there, Blair soon discovers that her tormentors hold the key to unlocking the potential of the ring and the cave.

description: Philadelphia is one of several cities in the United States that has a disproportionately high rate of homeless adults. In 2009 the Office of Supportive Housing reported that on any given night, 6,304 people were homeless in the city of Philadelphia (Kligerman, Darling & Schaffer, 2010). Many of these homeless individuals have substance abuse or mental health issues. In the past the city has primarily used conventional methods to address this very serious problem, but recently efforts have been made to adopt an innovative method of housing for those who are considered chronically-homeless, the Housing First model. This paper will take a comparative look at the “Housing First” model, and the more traditional modality, commonly called “Continuum of Care”. The primary focus of this paper is to determine the effectiveness of the “Housing First” and “Harm Reduction” models on providing permanent supportive housing for homeless adults suffering with serious mental health and co-occurring substance abuse problems in the city of Philadelphia. This paper presents empirical evidence about the effectiveness of the overall services provided to the homeless population in Philadelphia, with a specific focus on Pathways to Housing, Philadelphia.
Individualism and the ruined woman in print and film
Creators: name: Mercurio, Gina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: The 18th Century is undeniably rife with social and political unrest. The highly capitalist nature of society created highly striated social groups ranging from the financially elite to the abjectly poor and morally weak. Minority groups always suffer in these environments and in England the women were truly subject to the depravity of the era. Women as a social group were set up to and expected to fail. Without money and status a woman could amount to nothing more than a wet nurse or a prostitute. Yet, in these stations women were labeled “ruined” and they were ostracized by those in power. This semester I hope to research the social station of women in 18th Century women by    examining culture, history, and literature. Specifically, I hope to target Defoe as a major author who sympathizes his ruined women characters in order to show the flaws in 18th Century society. He examines Moll Flanders as the pitiable prostitute, and manages to showcase the struggles of womanhood despite his role as a male author. Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders introduces a liberated female character who defies the standards of society in order to reach a measure of personal individualism. I will also examine other literary characters who enter into prostitution in order to exist within society and the way in which other authors present these women. Are these fictionalized characters representations of reality? Are they accurate? Regardless, they comment on and represent standard stereotypes of the 18th Century and its capitalist flaws. What does this say about the authors, the 18th Century population, the place of women, and England’s economic stratifications?

Effects of acute microinjections of thyroid hormone to the median preoptic nucleus of hypothyroid adult male rats on sleep, motor activity, and body temperature
Creators: name: Moffett, Steven
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Thyroid hormone's role as a genomic regulator of basal metabolic rate does not explain neurological changes in patients with dysthyroidism. Hypothyroidism, characterized by depressive symptoms including somnolence, intellectual deterioration, and coma, and hyperthyroidism, illustrated by symptoms including insomnia, anxiety, and seizures, imply a mechanism of thyroid hormone action which influences behavior.  In adults, thyroid hormone is taken up to discrete brain areas by organic anion and monocarboxylate transport proteins. One site of distribution, the median preoptic nucleus (MePO), contains clusters of sleep-active neurons and is considered a key sleep-regulatory structure. To test the acute effect of thyroid hormone at this locus, we stereotaxically implanted adult hypothyroid rats with microinjection guide cannulae at the MePO and installed electrodes and miniature transmitters for recording EEG, EMG, core body temperature, and locomotor activity. The rats were rendered hypothyroid by administration of 0.02% 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil in drinking water until body weight plateaued, indicating a hypothyroid condition. Rats were given a series of dosages (0.3 μg, 1 μg, 3 μg, or 10 μg in 0.25μL vehicle) of L-3,3´,5-triiodothyronine (T3) in four weekly 48-hour tests. Each week, rats were bilaterally microinjected with a control solution. After 24 hours of recording, each rat was microinjected with one of the above doses of T3 and recorded for an additional 24 hours. In seven rats with histologically-confirmed cannulae placements in the MePO,  we observed significant effects on REM, non-REM, total sleep, core body temperature and motor activity analyzed by 2-way ANOVAs. For each sleep parameter the effect of dose of hormone was significant (p < 0.0001), as was the effect of time after injection (p<0.0001), except for in REM sleep. Temperature and activity also showed significant effects of dose (p < 0.02) and time (p < 0.001). There was no significant interaction between dose and time factors in any ANOVA. Since the effects of T3 were seen within hours of acute injection, the data are most consistent with a non-genomic mechanism of action of thyroid hormones in the adult brain. The mechanism of thyroid hormone action may be due to inhibition of the GABAA receptor, by an unknown protein phosphorylation effect, or by its actions as an adrenergic system analogue.

Comment. No material of this species has been seen in this study but it is here assumed to be a good species of Asterococcus. Based on the figure in Xue and Shi (1992), the adult female of A. scleroglutaeus is characterised by the following combination of character-states: (i) 8-shaped pores on dorsum of two sizes, a smaller pore very sparse throughout head and thorax and slightly larger pores in transverse bands across (possibly) abdominal segments IV and V; (ii) cribriform plates absent; (iii) tubular ducts of two sizes on dorsum, a narrow duct sparse medially on head and thorax but becoming more abundant near margins, and a broader duct in a group medially on posterior abdominal segments; (iv) tubular ducts on venter absent medially; (v) posterior stigmatic bands bifurcated; (vi) each stigmatic band broad near spiracles and with abundant spiracular disc-pores throughout, broadening near margin; (vii) 8-shaped pores on venter including “trilocular” pores, each with three closed pores; (viii) multilocular disc-pores abundant across abdominal segments II-VII, and also on metathorax; (ix) leg stubs present; (x) loculate pores near antennae abundant, and (xi) a broad sclerotized area present anterior to median anal plate.
Xue & Shi (1992) give no indication as to most similar species (San-an Wu, pers. comm.). However, the presence of “trilocular” 8-shaped pores on the venter suggests that A. scleroglutaeus may be closest to A. yunnanensis Borchsenius.

(fig. 7 A–D).
A rare species occurred in a single channel (A11) and in a rice field (A26) in Hunan. The species is associated with macrophytes. The specimens studied present a typical morphology of the species, and are characterized by a very small basal spine of postabdominal claw (fig. 7 C). The species is distributed in South-East Asia; earlier it was presumed to be conspecific to Australian Karualona karua (King, 1863) (Sinev & Semenyuk 2023). Most earlier records of Karualona in China were attributed to K. karua (Ji et al. 2015), but our data suggest that it is not present in China. For detailed description see Sinev & Semenyuk (2023).

Imperfect speakers
Creators: name: Wallace, Daniel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Imperfect Speakers is a novel set in Taiwan, about an English young professional, Robyn Anglesea, who hopes to abandon her stressful existence back in London for a more relaxed ex-pat life in the city of Taipei, but, in the process of making that new life successful, encounters many new conflicts with morality, identity and globalization, meeting examples of Taiwanese society at its most superficial and its most profound. Herfailures to deal with these situations lead her into greater troubles, never understanding, until the novel’s climax, that her own attitude to the world is at the root of many of her difficulties. The novel comments on several canonical travel texts, such as The Sun Also Rises and A Passage to India, and uses the contemporary experience of teaching English in Asia as a lens for re-examining their themes. The novel is not yet finished: here is included the first thirty five pages (the opening chapter) of the latest draft, re-written with the feedback from my thesis advisor and classmates taken into consideration, and a little over a hundred pages of the previous draft.
Vatican II and the liturgy
Creators: name: Zimmerman, Mary L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the changes that occurred in the Catholic liturgy either by the council fathers or by over-zealous liturgists who ignored the decree of Vatican II and chose to interpret the Vatican’s directives in their own way.  I will examine the various parts of the mass before and after Vatican II.  I will visit a traditional mass (pre-Vatican II) to determine its usefulness in today’s world.  I will look at past traditions swept aside post Vatican II and determine if these traditions still hold value to Catholic’s today.

Comment. The main character-states diagnosing the adult female of A. yunnanensis are: (i) anteroventral sclerotizations on anal lobes absent; (ii) anal lobes sclerotized throughout; (iii) four spinose setae present on inner margin of each anal lobe; (iv) multilocular disc-pores present on abdominal segments II–VIII and on metathorax, with a complete band on segment VII; (v) dorsum with two sizes of tubular ducts, narrower ducts medially on head and thorax and broader ducts restricted to abdominal segments anterior to anal plate; (vi) tubular ducts very sparse or even absent medially on venter; (vii) cribriform plates absent; (viii) leg stubs small; (ix) small 8-shaped pores present sparsely on dorsum; (x) 8-shaped pores with three closed pores (“trilocular”) present associated with most stigmatic pore bands, and (xi) transverse bands of dorsal 8-shaped pores present on about abdominal segments III, IV and VII. This species is possibly closest to A. scleroglutaeus —see under that species above.

Factors that influence school psychologists' special education eligibility decisions
Creators: name: Bachoe, Mikaela
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: School psychologists constantly make decisions that affect the lives of children and their families. One of the most significant decisions they make is determining a child’s eligibility for Special Education and related services. Despite the importance of eligibility decisions there is little research examining the decision making practices of school psychologists. Thus, this study was designed to examine the effect of three factors, the race of the child (Caucasian vs. African American), the socioeconomic status (SES) of the child (low vs. middle) and the referral source (parent versus teacher referral) on school psychologists’ decisions and judgments. Eight versions of a hypothetical case of a child potentially eligible for special education were developed, representing the factorial combinations of the three variables. Participants who agreed to complete the on- line survey were randomly assigned to one of the versions of the case materials (which included the case vignette, referral information and test scores). Other than the differences on the three independent variables, the versions of the materials were identical. Participants (N=158) were asked to indicate if they believed the child was classifiable and to rate their confidence in their decision and the difficulty of the classification decision. A 2x2x2 ANOVA was conducted to evaluate the effects of the race of the child, the SES of the child and the referral source on school psychologists’ classification decision. Results indicate that the race of the child and the referral source did not affect school psychologists’ decisions to classify the hypothetical student. However, results yielded a marginally significant main effect for SES on eligibility decisions, with lower SES students being more likely to be classified. An additional analysis evaluated the effects of the aforementioned factors on participants’ level of confidence in their decision. The three-way interaction between race, referral source, and SES was significant. Also, the interaction between race and SES was marginally significant. The main effects of race, SES, and referral source were not significant. Finally, a 2x2x2 ANOVA of the difficulty ratings yielded a marginally significant three- way interaction between race, referral source and SES. Results are discussed and implications for school psychologists are suggested.

Worker, length l- 4 th of an inch; head bulging at the sides, narrowed in front; eyes of moderate size; anterior antennae rather long, slender; jaws closely approached at their base, long, linear, with three strong pointed teeth at the end; thorax narrow; abdominal pedicle raised, pointed and conic; abdomen long, oval; head, thorax and legs rufous; abdomen dark brown.
I obtained this Ant under stones in a jungle in the Salem dis-trict, and know nothing of its habits.
I have since obtained one individual also in the Wynaad which may be the Warrior of this species - if the society consist of different individuals. It is 11 - 24 th of an inch long, and appears only to differ, besides its larger size, in having the eyes smaller, and more advanced, the teeth of the jaw blunt, and the thorax finely striated.

I cannot class this remarkable ant as an Odontomachus, and have therefore been compelled to institute a new genus for its reception; some of the characters given may not be generic, but till other species are discovered it is difficult to say which are, and which are not of generic value.

The cost of normal
Creators: name: Chittenden, Katharine
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: For nearly 50 years children born with a Disorder of Sexual Development (DSD) were routinely treated with early corrective genital surgery, and their families were encouraged to keep their full conditions secret from them. Many of these patients experienced their treatment as a physical and emotional trauma that has left them with impaired sexual functioning and feelings of shame and violated trust.  This was a qualitative study exploring the experience of three individuals who were born with a DSD and who have undergone corrective genital surgery and hormone replacement therapy.  Data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach.  In spite of their different disorders, and quite different medical treatments, all three subjects described, in an interview, similarities in their experience of their bodies, their dawning sense of difference and shame, particularly as they approached adolescence, and their employment of dissociative strategies to escape their difficult childhood experiences.  Each described a family culture of secrecy and silence about their medical conditions.  As adults, they describe the effects of trying to “pass” and their efforts to regain a sense of bodily autonomy.  All three women reported ongoing struggles to hold on to a positive self-image and to build and maintain positive relationships.  This study suggests that growing up with a DSD has added to problems each women had in coming to terms with her sexual identity. It corroborates much of the literature in the field regarding a ‘coming out’ process: all three women described ending their isolation by connecting to an online community, and finding comfort, pride and self-esteem in an intersex identity.  Finally, suggestions are offered for psychotherapists working with individuals with DSD, both survivors and the newly diagnosed, as well as their families.
