description: Young adult smokers are in a vulnerable position for smoking initiation and maintenance, with those of low socioeconomic status (SES) being particularly susceptible. There is little evidence to date about how to assist young adult smokers to quit effectively. Community college campuses, which have a higher enrollment of young adults with low SES, present an opportunity to target this population of smokers for cessation. This setting is especially important, with the recent federal initiative for smoke-free college campuses, for cessation efforts to complement efforts for smoke-free policies.

 This pilot CARA will compare two interventions that use proactive outreach encouraging cessation with usual care. Usual care currently consists of students going to the student health center for smoking cessation assistance. The first intervention is based on a promising model of a peer educator conducting cessation counseling (known as the “Street Team”), developed by the community lead Breathe California of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails (BCSET) through the Sacramento Taking Action Against Tobacco Dependence (STAND) project. The second intervention is based on direct enrollment by the "Street Team" member into the California Smokers’ Helpline, which offers free telephone counseling and has demonstrated that young adults with low SES use their service. The long-term objective of this collaboration is to establish an academic-community partnership between UC Davis, BCSET, and a community college system for future collaboration on a larger-scale intervention.

 Based on the results of this pilot, we will gain important insights about adapting the “Street Team” model for community college campuses, and determine whether these interventions are promising to test in a larger-scale intervention study. Dissemination of the findings from this research will be discussed with the local community college system, four other Breathe California affiliates and their local community colleges, and others such as the University of California campuses’ Smoke-free Campus Committees. The potential impact of the “Street Team” model will be to develop an effective model for targeting young adult smokers with low SES, and complement current efforts toward improving tobacco-free campus policies.

Remarks. The species was originally described from Cuba (Walker 1850) and all records other than those occurring in synopses are also from Cuba (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013). Once again, Distant (1906) then reported that the species occurred in the Antilles which he must have considered to include both the Greater and Lesser Antilles. The species is considered to have been reported only from the Greater Antilles and is not considered to be part of the Lesser Antilles cicada fauna.
Distribution. The species is known only from Cuba (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013).

description: Approximately forty percent of the cigarettes smoked in the United States are smoked by individuals with a mental illness (here called consumers). Smoking remains a common preventable cause of illness and premature death for individuals with severe mental illness (SMI), which includes bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders like schizophrenia, and severe depression. Traditional strategies to support smoking cessation may not meet the needs or address the unique concerns of individuals with SMI. Moreover, interventions to stop smoking are not commonly available in the treatment sites that serve consumers. One reason is that most interventions for smoking cessation are designed to be led by clinicians, making them expensive and difficult to continue over time.

 In response to these challenges, this research project will use a Community Partnered Participatory Research (CPPR) approach to identify interventions that reflect the needs of consumers treated in community mental health clinics. We will describe consumer and community preferences and build bridges between agencies, consumers, and providers in order to develop and implement a smoking cessation intervention. Our stop-smoking intervention will be peer-led. Peers are consumers who may also have expertise as providers (i.e., Peer Specialists).

 The partnered process will be co-led by the Program Director (Corteza) of The Wellness Center and Employment Services Program at Didi Hirsch Mental Health Clinic and an academic research psychiatrist and anthropologist (Bromley). We will engage consumer providers, consumers, consumer advocates, consumer experts in self-help and group facilitation, clinic leaders, and other stakeholders. A consumer Task Force will share experiences, discuss way stop smoking, and review available interventions using a structured process. Three consumers will become Peer Specialists in Smoking Cessation (PSSCs). PSSCs will train to deliver the intervention in a pilot study at Didi Hirsch. The partnership will be evaluated to set the stage for further research.

Remarks. Boulard (2001) referenced Fidicina mannifera from French Guiana and Guadeloupe. However, he then stated that the homeland (“patrie”) of Fidicina mannifera remains uncertain. Since Boulard obtained the specimens referenced in the 2001 paper a few years before the 1998 congress where the information was introduced (proceedings published in 2001), these specimens were in his possession prior to the publication of the work where multiple new species similar to Fidicina mannifera were published (Boulard & Martinelli 1996). The material examined for Fidicina mannifera did not reference any specimens from Guadeloupe and Guadeloupe was not included in the geographic distribution of the species in Boulard & Martinelli (1996). Therefore, the specimens of Fidicina mannifera reported from Guadeloupe in Boulard (2001) are considered to be members of the new species described above and Fidicina mannifera is removed from the cicada fauna of the Lesser Antilles.
Distribution. The species has been recorded from the Antilles, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Suriname (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011b; 2013; 2014; 2019a; 2020b, c, d; 2023a; Nunes et al. 2023).

[Tettigonia] grisea Fabricius 1775: 678 (America).
Remarks. The reference of the species inhabiting the West Indies is in Metcalf (1963a). There are two references to the species inhabiting “Americae insulis” (Fabricius 1781) or “insulis America” (Gmelin 1789) in the historic literature. There is a distinct possibility that the specimen was misidentified or mislabeled as the reference in Fabricius (1781) is immediately after reference to the North American species now classified as Megatibicen grossus (Fabricius, 1775) (Sanborn 2023b) inhabiting Brazil. Because there is no specific information from which island in “America” the specimen supposedly originated, there is no way to determine that the species is part of the Lesser Antilles cicada fauna and the species is considered not to have been a part of the fauna.
Distribution. The species has been reported from Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, South America, Venezuela, and the West Indies (Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013, 2020a, c; 2023a).

description: This study evaluated correlation coefficients of concrete admixtures and structural steel paints by performing IR Scans in order to ensure adequate performance of the specimen using ASTM C494-05a specifications. In order to achieve this goal, numerous IR Scans were performed on the specimens from the manufacturer with different batches in order to ensure conformity. These scans were then analyzed and averaged to create a unique correlation coefficient for each admixture and steel paint. The correlation coefficients were used to quantitatively evaluate and interpret IR Scans of job samples. There were 23 of the most commonly used concrete admixtures tested by the NJDOT. These include air-entrainers, accelerators, retarders, water reducers, and other combinations of these agents including corrosion inhibitors. Their correlation coefficients were established by averaging 12 scans total over three different batches, 4 from each batch. In addition to the admixtures, 28 steel paints used by the NJDOT were also tested. These included primary and secondary coats, thin films, and resins. For the structural steel paints, the correlation coefficients were averaged with 6 scans from three different batches, 2 from each batch. In order to validate and establish an acceptance range, job samples were tested and compared to the correlation created. This study also includes the  iv  effects of drying time on air-entraining admixture’s correlation coefficients and the effects of different KBr types on correlation coefficients.

Lynx1 modulation of alpha6 nicotinic receptors

description: Alpha6 nicotinic receptors are extremely important in nicotine addiction. They are a subclass of the nicotinic receptor family, the receptors that are responsible for the effects of nicotine in the brain. The alpha6 subunit is important in nicotine addiction, and is expressed only in a limited number of brain regions. There is a high concentration of alpha6 nicotinic receptors the midbrain dopaminergic neurons, where reward processing takes place. Due to their importance in nicotine addiction and limited expression pattern, we chose to study whether modulation of alpha6 containing nicotinic receptors by lynx1 may be important in nicotine addiction. Previous studies have shown that lynx1, a three-fingered toxin with similarity to alpha-bungarotoxin, can modulate alpha4beta2 and alpha7 nicotinic receptors, the two most abundant nicotinic receptors. This study will focus on the effect of lynx1 on alpah6 nicotinic receptors. It will do so by using the alpha 6 L9’S mouse line, a mouse model that expresses hypersensitive alpha6 receptors. Recordings from midbrain dopaminergic neurons of the alpha6 L9’S mouse have demonstrated that the nicotinic receptors have larger responses. Additionally, these mice exhibit hyperactivity and an inability to habituate to novel environments. Recent studies have shown that these mice also develop conditioned place preference, a measurement of nicotine reinforcement, at lower doses of nicotine than wild-type mice. To study the effect of lynx1 on the alpha6 L9’S mice, the alpha6 L9’S mice were bred to lynx1 knockout mice (lynx1KO). The alpha6 L9’S mice can be considered to be a tool to understand alpha6 nicotinic receptor function, and they have bred them to the lynx1KO mice to test whether lynx1 has a role in modulating alpha6 containing receptors. The studies proposed in this application will determine whether the phenotypes of the alpha6 L9’S mice described above are altered when lynx1 is removed. If these phenotypes are disrupted when lynx1 is removed, this will demonstrate that lynx1 is involved in the normal function of alpha6 nicotinic receptors. Since these receptors are important in nicotine addiction, this suggests that lynx1 modulation of alpha6 nicotinic receptors may be important in nicotine addiction.

description: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, interracial marriages have continued to increase with 8.4 million people in mixed marriages in 2005. With the increasing number of interracial marriages, there has been a surge of multiracial children who do not fit neatly into our society’s longstanding classification system. As research has consistently validated the realm of racial choices that are now available to biracial children, the parent’s role becomes more important to consider (Rockquemore & Brunsma, 2002). This exploratory study was designed to understand how Black/White interracial parents perceive their children’s identity and how they negotiate identity with their children. Furthermore, the goal of this study is to uncover some of the strategies and lessons they transmit to their biracial children in order to shape their racial identity. This study involved 8 White/Black interracial couples raising biracial children. The children’s ages ranges from 4 to 24. Each couple was interviewed using an audio recorder, and their information was analyzed qualitatively using the grounded theory approach (Corbin & Strauss, 2008). This study revealed major themes connected to interracial couples and their racial perceptions and strategies for their biracial children. These themes included 1) the importance of humanity over race, 2) supportive families, 3) purposeful and deliberate racial strategies (both proactive and reactive) including open dialogue, dolls, books, events and experiences, 4) society’s Hispanic view of their children, and 5) hair issues with biracial girls. Limitations and recommendations for future research are discussed.

“Reading outside the comfort zone"

description: Within the current educational climate, many adolescents, particularly at the secondary level, struggle to achieve literacy proficiency. One factor that may be contributing to these poor proficiency levels is the curriculum, particularly the type of texts being used to develop literacy in school. These materials tend to reflect traditional notions of text that are believed to develop skills necessary to succeed on standardized assessments. Many English Language Arts classrooms continue to privilege traditional literary texts and linguistic modes of meaning despite the fact that developing the skills to read certain alternative texts, like graphic novels, can make students better, more engaged readers. The graphic novel can also be used to improve proficiency by providing opportunities for students to develop multimodal reading and critical literacy skills. Though researchers continue to highlight the educational benefits of graphic novels, the general theoretical literature has yet to explore how readers adjust to the affordances of this type of text or how instruction impacts this learning process. Using an embedded case study model, this study documented how a twelfth-grade class studied four graphic novels that had been incorporated in their ELA course. The data were derived from multiple sources including observations, interviews, artifacts, and documents. Findings for this study suggest that readers may require instruction specific to graphic novels in order to fully access the unique textual affordances and maximize the learning potential of this kind of text. This research also indicates that graphic novels may be better suited for a nontraditional instructional approach, such as a multiliteracies pedagogy, that more fully addresses its multimodal and pluralistic features. This study also suggests that instructors working with such materials receive special training to ensure that their instructional model is appropriate for graphic novels and to help support student learning with text-specific strategies.

description: Evidence indicates that maternal smoking during pregnancy can lead to increased wheezing, decreased lung capacity, and increased respiratory infections in infants and children even in the absence of passive tobacco smoke exposure after birth. Further evidence suggests that it is the nicotine in tobacco smoke that is responsible for these effects. We have recently shown that nicotine can directly affect the development of embryonic mouse lungs isolated in a culture dish by interacting with some type of nicotine receptor similar to those found in the brain. We have also been able to detect the presence in embryonic, fetal, and adult lung tissue of a number of the subunit proteins that make up the various subtypes of nicotine receptor. It is not known, however, exactly where the receptors are located within the lung, or which subtype of nicotine receptor is responsible for the effects on lung development. The mechanism by which activation of nicotine receptors would bring about these effects is also unknown. The recent finding that the level the a7 nicotine receptor subunit was increased in lungs exposed to maternally administered nicotine suggests involvement of the a7 nicotine receptor subtype. A similar study showed increased levels in fetal lung of a hormone called gastrin releasing peptide (GRP). GRP has also been shown in other studies to affect lung development and many of the effects are similar to those of nicotine.

 This project will explore the mechanism underlying the developmental effects of nicotine in the lung by comparing four strains of mice that differ in nicotine response or in the presence or absence of a functional a7 nicotine receptor. We will examine the hypothesis that nicotine acts through a7 receptors located on the cells that line the developing airways causing these cells to make more GRP. The increased GRP would then cause the effects associated with nicotine exposure. Locations and levels of a7 receptors and GRP in developing lungs will be compared in the four mouse strains. Isolated embryonic mouse lungs grown in culture will be used to test whether blocking the action of GRP will also block the effect of nicotine. Elements of our proposed mechanism will also be examined in embryonic and fetal mouse lungs exposed to nicotine via the maternal drinking water.

 Insights gained from this study will contribute to our understanding of how nicotine exerts its adverse effects on fetal lung development. Since we know that nicotine receptors and GRP are also present in adult lungs, the information gained about mechanisms of nicotine action in developing lung may also contribute to our understanding of tobacco-related lung diseases in adult smokers. It is hoped that increased understanding of underlying disease mechanisms may help identify new treatments and new methods of prevention.

description: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents the most common form of lung cancer and, like most forms of lung cancer, the single greatest risk factor for NSCLC is cigarette smoking. Unfortunately, NSCLC cannot be reversed by cessation of smoking and currently available treatment (surgery and chemotherapy) provides only limited benefit. In fact, only 15% of patients with NSCLC live for 5 years once the diagnosis is made. Because NSCLC is so common and so deadly, more effective treatment is urgently needed. In this project we will develop and test a new approach to the treatment of NSCLC that uses the body’s natural defense system, known as the immune system. This system efficiently defends the body against infectious organisms, which are detected as “foreign” and destroyed, but tumor cells typically evade detection because the differences between them and normal cells are small. Our strategy is to use specialized white blood cells known as dendritic cells (DC) to stimulate the immune systems in patients with NSCLC such that they recognize and destroy the tumor cells. To make this approach possible patients will initially be treated with Flt-3 ligand, a factor that stimulates the production of DC by the bone marrow and causes the release of the newly produced cells into the blood. The DC will then be removed from the blood, “loaded” with a substance called Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) that is produced by and present on NSCLC tumors, and their own cells will be returned to the patients in a manner similar to that used for blood transfusions. Once inside the body, the CEA-loaded DC should behave like a vaccine and stimulate the immune system to recognize and destroy the tumor cells. This approach has already been tested in six patients. The treatment was well tolerated and without serious side effects. Moreover, all of the patients developed immune responses to CEA and 3 patients showed evidence of tumor shrinkage including one patient whose tumor has almost disappeared. In the proposed project this approach will be tested in two clinical trials involving a total of 45 patients with advanced, inoperable NSCLC. In the first trial DC will be used together with a small fragment of CEA to stimulate the immune system. In the second trial DC will be loaded with the entire CEA molecule and, in addition, before the cells are administered to the patients they will be exposed to another substance that increases their potency. During the trials the patients will be monitored closely both to assure their safety and to determine if the treatment affects their tumors. The results should provide a clear indication of how effective this new form of immune therapy is in the treatment of NSCLC. If the results are promising, the same approach could be used to treat other types of cancer.

description: In recent years, increased demands for clean water and impurity of the available one, stimulated development of water supply from new sources by various means. Inevitably, the complexity of the development, the variety of the problems and the wealth of alternates to meet these demands necessitated quite often an interdisciplinary approach which is the aim of our Seminar.New Jersey is the most densely populated State in the Union. Because of the greatimportance of the water management in allocation of available water, the State of NewJersey is encouraging and supporting all efforts in achieving these goals. The UniversitySeminar on Pollution and Water Resources with its interdisciplinary character has anambitious program exploring the problems of utilization of the usable water resources andimproving its quality. The results of the effort are presented in these Proceedings.Among the lecture topics included in this year's proceedings are: hydrology, asbestos pollution, spectroscopy, world plan for the application of science and technology to development, production function and water management, toxic water pollutants.

description: Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of premature deaths in the United States. Nicotine has been identified as the principal addictive component in tobacco smoke driving this pathological behavior. To achieve its effects, nicotine interacts with a family of specific membrane components that function as receptors for the naturally occurring neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). It is now clear that so-called nicotinic receptors exert multiple effects at the cellular level and participate in a variety of higher order brain functions; the receptors have also been implicated in a number of neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to excessive activation of the receptors, chronic nicotine exposure can impose long-term regulatory effects on them. The physiological consequences of these effects represent pressing biomedical questions that remain unanswered.One of the most interesting and abundant nicotinic receptors in brain is a species composed of subunits called the a7. Recent results indicate that a7 receptors perform a host of functions in the nervous system, including the modulation of electrical signals at synapses and the developmental regulation of calcium-dependent events in neurons. The receptors are known to be widely distributed throughout the cortex of the brain. The present experiments employ an animal model to examine the properties of a7 receptors in the mammalian brain, to determine their significance for signaling, and to elucidate the impact of chronic nicotine exposure both on receptor function and on the neuronal circuits in which the receptors participate. The experimental approaches will combine electrical recording techniques, biochemical binding experiments, and fluorescence imaging.The expected results will provide new information about the physiological significance of a7 nicotinic receptors in the cortex of the brain, and will indicate the kinds of compensatory changes expressed by cortical neurons to mitigate the prolonged excessive stimulation produced by chronic nicotine exposure. This information may also be of value in the search for therapeutic strategies to combat the cortical effects of nicotine. One strategy may be the design of appropriate drugs for targeting the receptors and influencing their activity levels in desired directions for either negating or overcoming the changes caused by tobacco usage.
