description: A method of fabricating three-dimensional objects in a layerwise fashion, and having high structural strength and high density, is disclosed. Methods are disclosed by which nanocomposite powders of ceramic-ceramic systems, ceramic-metal systems, ceramic-polymer systems, and metal-polymer systems are produced. Disclosed examples utilize solution chemistry approaches, such as sol-gel processing, by way of which a gel is produced which is then fired and milled to form a powder suitable for selective laser sintering, where a laser fuses selected portions of layers of the powders according to a computer-aided-design data base. The ultraheterogeneity of the powder results in larger surface area and grain boundaries of the constituents, which enhances the solid state diffusion mechanism, and thus reduces the time and temperature required for sintering to occur. In addition, the higher stored metastable energy of the nanocomposite powder is believed to enhance densification during solid-phase sintering. Objects of high density of complex shape may thus be obtained directly from CAD data base design representations.
Local planning for agriculture

description: New Jersey, known today for its dense urbanization, maintains a rich agrarian heritage that is still prominent in many parts of the state.  Development pressures in the latter half of the twentieth century, however, transformed New Jersey's agricultural landscape and continue to present challenges to remaining farms. The future of the state's rural landscape and farming industry will depend largely on the mitigation of intensifying suburbanization pressures and the ability of farmers to adapt to changing market opportunities.  While the federal farm bill has been the dominant image of American farm policy since the 1930s, this dissertation presents rationale for the decentralization of farm policy across state, and more pertinently, local governments.  It is argued that greater emphasis on local planning for agricultural retention and development will more effectively address the needs of a diverse agricultural industry, preserve the localized public goods and open space amenities conferred by agriculture, and ameliorate the impacts of suburban growth on the farming industry.New Jersey presents an interesting case study of local agricultural planning and policy. It is the most densely populated and highly urbanized state in the nation, yet despite decades of attrition and displacement agriculture still represents nearly one fifth of the state's land base.  The state is well known for its progressive state level agricultural policy and ambitious farmland preservation program. Adaptability and innovation have been requisites for success within the state's farming community in the face of increased competition for farmland, rising farmland values, and changes in the sociopolitical environment occurring at the rural urban interface.A thirteen municipality region in northern Burlington County provides the geographic context for empirical analysis of the extent of local planning and policy development for agriculture.  This region comprises several of the most agriculturally intensive municipalities in the state.  A general conclusion of this research is that significant opportunity remains for greater integration of agriculture in comprehensive municipal planning.  This finding is particularly important because of the powers granted to municipalities under New Jersey's home rule doctrine to influence land use and promulgate regulation.

Experimental methods applied to the computation of integer sequences
Creators: name: Rowland, Eric Samuel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: We apply techniques of experimental mathematics to certain problems in number theory and combinatorics.  The goal in each case is to understand certain integer sequences, where foremost we are interested in computing a sequence faster than by its definition.  Often this means taking a sequence of integers that is defined recursively and rewriting it without recursion as much as possible.  The benefits of doing this are twofold.  From the view of computational complexity, one obtains an algorithm for computing the system that is faster than the original; from the mathematical view, one obtains new information about the structure of the system.Two particular topics are studied with the experimental method.  The first is the recurrence a(n) = a(n - 1) + gcd(n, a(n - 1)), which is shown to generate primes in a certain sense.  The second is the enumeration of binary trees avoiding a given pattern and extensions of this problem.  In each of these problems, computing sequences quickly is intimately connected to understanding the structure of the objects and being able to prove theorems about them.

Fisheropone

description: Species of Fisheropone
Only a single species has been described from this genus although at least one undescribed species is known. The described species, F. ambigua (Weber), has been a junior secondary homonym of Pachycondyla ambigua André, 1890 and was replaced by Pachycondyla gulera Özdikmen, 2010. However, as these names are here placed in separate genera the replacement name is unnecessary and becomes a junior objective synonym of F. ambigua Weber.
Bolton & Fisher (2011) discuss F. ambigua and consider it closely related to weberi (Bernard, 1953). However, an examination of type material (held in MCZC) of weberi (Bernard) support the placement of this species in Mesoponera rather than Fisheropone, and thus these species are not treated as closely related in this study.

description: The present invention involves water soluble hydroxy-substituted texaphyrins retaining lipophilicity, the synthesis of such compounds and their uses. These expanded porphyrin-like macrocycles are efficient chelators of divalent and trivalent metal ions. Various metal (e.g., transition, main group, and lanthanide) complexes of the hydroxy-substituted texaphyrin derivatives of the present invention have unusual water solubility and stability. They absorb light strongly in a physiologically important region (i.e. 690-880 nm). They have enhanced relaxivity and therefore are useful in magnetic resonance imaging. They form long-lived triplet states in high yield and act as photosensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen. Thus, they are useful for inactivation or destruction of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), mononuclear or other cells infected with such virus as well as tumor cells. They are water soluble, yet they retain sufficient lipophilicity so as to have greater affinity for lipid rich areas such as atheroma and tumors. They may be used for magnetic resonance imaging followed by photodynamic tumor therapy in the treatment of atheroma and tumors. These properties, coupled with their high chemical stability and appreciable solubility in water, add to their usefulness.

Chemical characterization of camelina seed oil
Creators: name: Sampath, Anusha
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Camelina sativa (L).Crantz also known as false flax, Dutch flax is an ancient oil seed crop that belongs to the Brassicaceae family. Camelina oil pressed from the seeds of this crop has a unique aroma.Eighteen camelina oil samples were analyzed for fatty acid composition (13 unrefined, 2 deodorized and 3 refined samples). Eight of these samples were analyzed for unsaponifiables content, free fatty acids and volatiles and semi-volatile compounds. Seven camelina seed samples were analyzed for volatile and semi-volatile compounds as well to determine the suitability of these products in animal feed formulations.Fatty acid composition was obtained by the trans-esterification of the triacylglycerols in the oil to their methyl esters and 21 different fatty acids with chain length from C-14 to C-24 were identified. The major fatty acids were α-linolenic, linoleic, oleic, eicosenoic and palmitic acid and three fatty acids, namely tricosanoic, pentadecanoic and heptadecanoic are being first reported here.    The unsaponifiables fraction in camelina oil samples ranged between 0.45-0.8% and 21 compounds were identified. The major compounds identified were β-sitosterol, campesterol, cholesterol, phytol, squalene and brassicasterol which accounted for 80-90% of the unsaponifiable content in camelina oil.A total of 168 and 306 volatile and semi-volatile compounds were identified in the headspace of camelina seeds and oil respectively. Homologous series of lipid oxidation derived compounds like aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, furans and hydrocarbons dominate the aroma and favor profile of the oil and seeds. Sulfur compounds (methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide), naturally occurring 3-alkyl-2-methoxy pyrazines, terpenes, short chain free fatty acids and maillard reaction products were also identified in camelina seeds. The presence of 2-sec-butyl-3-methoxy pyrazine, aldehydes and alcohols (with green notes) and sulfur compounds like 2, 4, 5-trithiahexane and 1-butene-4-isothiocyanato in some camelina oils, may be responsible for the unique aroma of this oil.The information from this study may potentially be used by camelina oil producers as supporting data for the chemical characteristics of the oil produced in Montana, USA. Camelina oil can serve as a good vegetable source of α-linolenic acid provided it gets the much awaited GRAS certification.

Evaluation of aerobic exercise digital video discs (DVDs) for use by nutrition educators
Creators: name: Ryan, Kelly M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Obesity is disproportionately prevalent among limited-resource audiences, like participants of the New Jersey Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed).  Physical activity is an integral component for weight management, but barriers like time constraints and a lack of space and expensive equipment often prevent this target audience from meeting national physical activity recommendations.  Aerobic exercise DVDs may help ameliorate these barriers; thus, this investigation's purpose was to assess their viability for use with SNAP-Ed participants both in the classroom and at home.  Five nutrition educators evaluated 124 DVDs to assess their: cast members' demographics; levels of intensity and complexity; adherence to safety guidelines and exercise recommendations; and space and equipment needs.  The results of this study supported the notion that exercise DVDs may help the target audience overcome physical activity barriers in that 70 (56%) of the DVDs required no equipment, and the space requirements of all of the videos were modest.  Existing DVDs may, however, be of questionable appeal for use with SNAP-Ed participants due to a lack of racial diversity, i.e., the majority of the cast members were White, thin, adult women.  Several types of DVDs, particularly "Tae Bo" and kickboxing, would likely have limited appeal for this population due to their high levels of intensity.  Similarly, several types of DVDs would likely be unsuitable with regard to complexity, with belly dancing and dance aerobics workouts being rated as the most complex.  Walking DVDs may be the best option for nutrition educators to recommend.  They were characterized by both low intensity and complexity, yet elicited an average percent maximum heart rate for the research team of 69.88+7.37, which was consistent with national guidelines for moderate to vigorous activity.  However, future research endeavors are needed to assess their feasibility with this audience.

Effects of thermal processing on antioxidant, phenolic and anthocyanin levels in blackcurrant juice
Creators: name: Skahill, Bridget A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Health and Wellness continues to be a major driver for consumers within the current marketplace.  Given this climate, superfruits such as blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) are gaining interest among beverage manufacturers due to their high content of antioxidants and anthocyanins.  Blackcurrant juice, while very popular in Europe, is just beginning to gain acceptance in the domestic marketplace.Various thermal processes are required throughout the production of a shelf stable juice product at both the raw material and finished beverage stages.  The goal of this research is to evaluate the effect of these thermal processes on the retention of heat sensitive compounds such as phenolics, anthocyanins and overall antioxidants in the final consumer beverage.  To this end, bulk samples of 13 brix flash pasteurized and 65 brix concentrated blackcurrant juice were obtained and further processed at beverage scale.  The beverage scale processing entailed the three key thermal processes utilized by retail manufacturers: aseptic, hotfill and tunnel pasteurization.  The raw material juices and fully processed samples were then analyzed for anthocyanin content, total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity to understand retention of these nutrients in the post process beverage.The findings of this study show marked losses at the raw material level of all measured components with a reduction in Phenolic Content of approximately 35%, a reduction of Antioxidant Capacity by 48% and, most significantly, a reduction of Anthocyanin Content of approximately 80% in the concentrated juice as compared to the flash pasteurized Not From Concentrate (NFC) juice.  The anthocyanin content was seen to undergo additional degradation (40-50%) by further processing the juice at beverage level, while little or no further change in either antioxidant capacity or phenolic content was seen.  There was little to no difference in the impact of aseptic, hotfill or tunnel pasteurization as compared to each other.  Understanding the relationship between process and retention will allow industry to leverage the proper processes required to deliver the desired health benefits to consumers.
Healthcare decisions
Creators: name: Shen, Chan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Currently, there appears to be a tradeoff between the performance of a semiparametric estimator in finite and large samples. In Chapter 1, we argue that this tradeoff occurs because of the nature of the bias reduction methods that are often employed in implementing these estimators. Accordingly, we develop a bias control mechanism that eliminates this tradeoff so as to ensure that the estimator performs well in finite samples while retaining desirable large sample properties.Semiparametric models are commonly estimated under a single index assumption. In estimating these models, the consistency of the estimator critically depends on this assumption being correct. Therefore, in Chapter 2, we develop a test of this assumption. We formulate such a test and derive its large sample distribution under the null hypothesis of a single index. To ensure that the test statistic has good size and power properties in finite samples, we formulate a test whose form adapts to the model under the alternative hypothesis. Monte Carlo results confirm that the adaptive feature significantly improves the performance of the test statistic in finite samples.Studying healthcare decisions poses many empirical challenges. Healthcare utilization and expenditures depend on health insurance and other health related variables. As insurance is a choice variable for the individual, there are potential endogeneity issues. Expenditures are only observed when utilization occurs and hence there is a selection problem. Furthermore, the decision to utilize healthcare and the decision about the level of treatment are determined by different decision makers. In Chapter 3, we study a system of three simultaneous equations: insurance, utilization, and expenditures. To avoid making traditional parametric distributional assumptions, we propose a semiparametric approach based on the previous two chapters. Both parametric and semiparametric approaches are employed in an empirical study using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) 2005 data. We find that insurance increases the likelihood of seeking healthcare by about 15% points (from about 80% to 95%). We also find that the parametric approach predicts insurance to increase the level of expenditures by 125%; while the semiparametric method predicts an increase of 51%, a number in accord with an important experimental study in the literature.

description: Described herein is a multi-functional polymeric material for use in inhibiting adhesion and immune recognition between cells and cells, cells and tissues, and tissues and tissues. One component of the polymeric material adsorbs well to cells or tissue, and the other component of the polymeric material does not adsorb well to tissues. A water-soluble polymer that does not bear charge (polynonion) is used as the non-binding component, and a water soluble polymer that is positively charged at physiological pH (polycation) is used as the tissue binding component. When the bi-functional polymeric material contacts a tissue, the tissue-binding component binds and thus immobilizes the attached non-binding component, which will then extend generally away from the tissue surface and sterically block the attachment of other tissues. The method and compositions are useful in inhibiting formation of post-surgical adhesions, protecting damaged blood vessels from thrombosis and restenosis, and decreasing the extent of metastasis of attachment-dependent tumor cells.

Type host. Common goldeneye, Bucephala clangula (Linnaeus) (Anseriformes: Anatidae). Type locality. Galveston, Texas, USA.
Remarks. This species differs from the other species in the genus except Ophthalmophagus magalhaesi Travassos, 1921 and Ophthalmophagus plectopteri Dubois, 1930 because the ovary is contiguous or located in close proximity to the posterior testis rather than being some distance posterior to it. Ophthalmophagus bucephali also is unusual for members of this genus by having the cirrus sac extending posteriorly to or beyond the posterior margin of the intestinal bifurcation, a feature shared only with O. magalhaesi. No oral or ventral sucker present— Dronen & Blend (2007).

Ophthalmophagus magalhaesi

description: O. magalhaesi Travassos, 1921
Type host. Muscovy duck, Cairina moschata (Linnaeus) (Anseriformes: Anatidae).
Type locality. Brazil.
Previously proposed synonym. Ophthalmophagus nascicola Witenberg, 1923 — Joyeux & Baer (1927).
Remarks. This species was considered to be a synonym of O. singularis (Stossich, 1902) by Dubois (1959). It is similar to O. bucephali Dronen & Blend, 2007 and O. plectopteri Dubois, 1930 by having the posttesticular ovary close to, or contiguous with the posterior testis, but it differs from both these species by having a much larger egg size (219 x 105). No oral or ventral sucker described—Travassos (1921); Dollfus (1948); Bashkirova (1950).

description: Species of Hagensia
Hagensia is characterized by several morphological autapomorphies that lead us to confidently group H. peringueyi with the type species, H. havilandi. Taylor (2008) informally divides the genus into three species, but we are following the traditional division of two species until a formal study of species-level taxonomy is published. See Arnold (1951) for a key to species.

Maximizing the effectiveness of grassland management for a grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum) metapopulation

description: Grassland bird population declines have been attributed to habitat loss and fragmentation and the intensification of agricultural practices. Hayfields are being cut earlier and more frequently during the breeding season resulting in low reproductive success. Grassland bird conservation efforts generally focus on enrolling farmland into landowner incentive programs that require mowing to be delayed until after July 15. Delayed mowing improves grassland bird reproductive success by enabling breeding pairs to fledge at least one brood during the breeding season. This dissertation examines the effect of hayfield management on population viability of a grasshopper sparrow metapopulation in a fragmented landscape in New Jersey and uses statistical power analysis to assess the cost-effectiveness of grasshopper sparrow metapopulation monitoring programs.I built a spatially-explicit, stage-structured, stochastic model of a grasshopper sparrow metapopulation to determine how probability of extinction (POE) is affected by: (1) total hayfield area enrolled, (2) size of enrolled hayfields, (3) number of hayfield patches enrolled, and (4) isolation of enrolled hayfields. I found that POE decreased quickly with increasing amounts of enrolled hayfield area. After 31 to 48% of hayfield area in the landscape was enrolled, POE decreased minimally with further enrollment. The number of grassland parcels enrolled was also negatively related to POE. When I incorporated a patch size effect (fecundity was directly related to hayfield size) into the model, POE increased within each enrollment category but still decreased with increasing amounts of enrolled grassland (Chapter 2). POE was directly related to the degree of isolation of enrolled hayfields. Of the monitoring programs we evaluated, the most cost-effective program to detect a 7% population decline included 18 hayfields surveyed six times annually over five years. Additional survey effort would be necessary to detect a smaller population decline and to overcome observer variability in density estimates due to sampling error. Hayfield management for grassland birds will be most effective when there is not only a focus on the amount of managed habitat, but also on local and landscape scale variables such as patch size and configuration. Cost-effective population monitoring is critical to evaluating the success of management decisions.
Exploring How Women Involved in the UK Criminal Justice System Experience Psychotherapy in the Community: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
Creators: name: Sgoumpopoulou, Anastasia
Publisher: name: University of East London

description: This study centers on women in the UK Criminal Justice System (CJS), a notably underserved and vulnerable population whose experiences and needs have historically been marginalized within criminal justice and support systems. The research delved into the experiences of women involved in community-based psychotherapy, aiming to understand their perceptions and approaches to therapy within the complex backdrop of the CJS. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), interviews were conducted with five women who had participated in therapy through two specialized charities.

The analysis yielded three main themes: "Trust and safety in therapy after a life full of unsafety", “From depersonalisation to personalisation”, and “Rise above adversity: growth and personal development in tackling distress”. These themes highlighted the complexities of the women's experiences, ranging from the struggle of establishing trust in therapy to finding empowerment amidst systemic powerlessness. The study revealed profound insights into the transformative nature of therapy, with participants describing significant intrapersonal growth and the challenge of overcoming systemic and internalized barriers.

The findings underscore the importance of a personalized, empowering approach intherapeutic interventions for women in the CJS. They challenge traditional, riskfocused perspectives and suggest the need for therapies that address the unique vulnerabilities and strengths of these women. The study recommends adopting holistic, trauma-informed models and stresses the need for integrating the women's voices in therapy design and implementation. It also emphasizes the role of therapy in facilitating reintegration from prison to the community and personal development. The study offers practical implications for service providers, suggesting the adoption of targeted interventions that focus on empowerment, resilience-building, and addressing the complex interplay of emotional, social, and systemic factors.

description: Ophthalmophagus singularis (Stossich, 1902) — Type species
Type host. Little crake, Porzana parva (Scopoli) (Syn. Gallinula pusilla Bechstein) (Gruiformes: Rallidae).
Type locality. Russian Federation; specific type locality unknown.
Additional hosts. Water rail, Rallus aquaticus Linnaeus; Virginia rail, Rallus limicola Vieillot (Gruiformes: Rallidae)— Yamaguti (1971).
Additional localities. Tadzhikistan; Iowa, USA—Yamaguti (1971).
Previously proposed synonyms. Ophthalmophagus massinoi Witenberg, 1926 — Joyeux & Baer (1927); Ophthalmophagus nasicola Witenberg, 1923, O. massinoi and Ophthalmophagus charadrii Yamaguti, 1934 — Dubois (1959).
Remarks. The original description of this species was brief and included only a body length (4 mm), a body width (1 mm) and a rudimentary illustration. Kossack (1911) redescribed the species apparently from the specimens (No. 622; Vienna Museum) used in the original description by Stossich (1902). Stossich (1902) considered the ovary to be intertesticular and nearly in line with the nearly tandem testes, which would place this species in Hyptiasminae. Although Stossich (1902) described the genital pore as being prepharyngeal, he considered thevitelline fields to be not confluent posteriorly (Prohyptiasmus), while Kossack (1911, Fig. 9) apparently considered the ovary to be posttesticular (Ophthalmophaginae) and the vitelline fields to be confluent posteriorly (Ophthalmophagus). We agree with Kossack (1911) and more recent authors (e.g. Dubois 1959; Yamaguti 1971) that the ovary is posttesticular and nearly in a straight line with the nearly tandem testes (Ophthalmophaginae) and that the vitelline fields are confluent posteriorly, and support its assignment to Ophthalmophagus. Joyeux & Baer (1927) considered this species to be in Spaniometra. No oral or ventral sucker described—Stossich (1902); Kossack (1911); Bashkirova (1950).

Common terns (Sterna hirundo) as indicators of ecosystem response to urbanization in the Barnegat Bay Watershed region of New Jersey, 1982-2007
Creators: name: Shukla, Sheila
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: While recording avian populations in Barnegat Bay for more than 30 years, it was observed that out of 34 nesting islands inhabited by common terns (Sterna hirundo); only 15 currently host colonies of common terns.  Within the same period of time, the region has experienced intense urban development, especially in recent years. The intent of this research is to provide a method to investigate the spatial relationship of changes in encroaching urbanization to common tern populations.  Since the success of coastal communities is dependent upon sustainable coastal urbanization, integrating correlations between land-use change and avian populations can provide information to use when establishing conservation sites or protected areas. Conservation of avian ecosystems requires identifying critical habitat areas that are affected by urbanization.   The null hypothesis of this research was that long-term population variability does not result from encroaching urbanization on common tern habitats. If common terns are adversely affected by the direct and indirect effects of increasing urbanization in the area, it could be an indication of declining ecosystem health. These birds serve as excellent bioindicators of ecosystem health because they feed at high trophic levels of food chains within the ecosystems in Barnegat Bay.  To find correlations between changing urbanization and populations, 25 years of population data of common terns nesting on salt marsh islands in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey from 1984-2006 was compared with satellite imagery for 1984, 1995, 2001 and 2006 using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The island group experiencing the greatest percent change (40.6%) in distance from the nearest edge of urbanization to tern habitats, also experienced the greatest overall decline in Common Tern populations over a 25 year period. Distance was calculated using the Euclidean Distance, or straight-line distance, tool in Spatial Analyst using ArcGIS. The change in distance indicates an encroachment of urbanized land in the direction on common tern nesting and breeding areas. During the study period, populations of common terns did not experience a linear decline; however, there was a linear increase in urbanization.   Long-term population variability may be due to indirect effects of land-use change including volatile weather conditions, predation, and recreational disturbances or dredging projects.

description: The present invention involves water soluble hydroxy-substituted texaphyrins retaining lipophilicity, the synthesis of such compounds and their uses. These expanded porphyrin-like macrocycles are efficient chelators of divalent and trivalent metal ions. Various metal (e.g., transition, main group, and lanthanide) complexes of the hydroxy-substituted texaphyrin derivatives of the present invention have unusual water solubility and stability. They absorb light strongly in a physiologically important region (i.e. 690-880 nm). They have enhanced relaxivity and therefore are useful in magnetic resonance imaging. They form long-lived triplet states in high yield and act as photosensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen. Thus, they are useful for inactivation or destruction of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), mononuclear or other cells infected with such virus as well as tumor cells. They are water soluble, yet they retain sufficient lipophilicity so as to have greater affinity for lipid rich areas such as atheroma and tumors. They may be used for magnetic resonance imaging followed by photodynamic tumor therapy in the treatment of atheroma and tumors. These properties, coupled with their high chemical stability and appreciable solubility in water, add to their usefulness.
