Bioterrorism : a survey of western United States hospital response readiness

Creator:: Phillips, Margaret J.
Abstract:: A study to evaluate the level of hospital preparedness to respond to a bioterrorist attack such as smallpox or anthrax, in the western United States (Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington) was conducted from May to September 2000. A survey questionnaire was mailed to 300 randomly selected hospitals. A...

Two epidemiological studies in central Haiti

Creator:: Bonnlander, Heinke P.
Abstract:: Two epidemiological studies, designed to expand our knowledge of morbidity and mortality indicators concerning malaria and Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccination in the Hospital Albert Schweitzer health district located in Central Haiti's Artibonite Valley, are presented. The hospital serves a rural population of 190,000 in its 610 square mile district. A large...

Evaluation of alcohol education on attitude, knowledge and self-reported behavior of college students

Creator:: Sharmer, Laurel
Abstract:: This research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two different types of alcohol education interventions on the attitudes about alcohol consumption in college, knowledge about alcohol, and self-reported alcohol consumption behavior of college students. The educational interventions were a student-centered CD-Rom interactive program, and a teacher-centered motivational speaker. Each...

A lysozyme-like protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aegypti : functional and biochemical characteristics

Creator:: Pimentel, Gliceria Estandian, 1958-
Abstract:: This study investigated some functional and biochemical characteristics of a bacteriolytic protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aecupti. A method for the isolation of this protein from other mosquito salivary gland components is also described. Based on some of its biochemical properties, this bacteriolytic protein can be classified...

Evaluation of behavioral response of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to repellents using a novel olfactometer

Creator:: Doğan, Elif Barc̦in
Abstract:: Mosquito-borne pathogens are the cause of important, often deadly diseases worldwide; and, use of repellents is one of the components of mosquito control programs. The most effective mosquito repellent is N,N-dimethyl-m-toluamide, known as DEET. Speculation on the adverse effects of DEET have been on the rise since the 1980s, and...

Salivation and engorgement parameters of sucking insect vectors : implications in pathogen transmission

Creator:: Shieh, Jong-neng
Abstract:: The probing behavior and feeding activity of green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, on Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. tenebrionis- transgenic potatoes, insecticide treated potatoes, and host plants with different preference were electronically monitored. I found that first, transgenic potatoes had no effect on green peach aphid probing suggesting that transmission of...

Evaluation of the Oregon bicycle helmet use law on bicycle helmet usage and bicycle-related head injuries

Creator:: Ni, Hanyu
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to 1) assess the effectiveness of the law in increasing helmet use and compare methods of measuring helmet use, and 2) determine the impact of the law on bicycle-related head injury and fatalities. To measure changes in helmet use by children under 16 years...

Isozymic and cytological studies on populations of the introduced bee species, Megachile (Eutricharaea) rotundata and M. (Eutricharaea) apicalis

Creator:: Chen, Xiaoshe
Abstract:: Thirteen New World populations of Megachile rotundata and M. apicalis and two Old World populations of M. rotundata were analyzed at 23 enzyme loci using cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Conventional and G- or C-banded karyotypes were also examined in these populations. The principal findings are (1) No differences were found in...

Fourier Analysis and Equidistribution on the p-adic Integers

Creator:: Somasunderam, Naveen
Abstract:: In this dissertation, we use Fourier-analytic methods to study questions of equidistribution on the compact abelian group Zp of p-adic integers. In particu- lar, we prove a LeVeque-type Fourier analytic upper bound on the discrepancy of sequences. We establish p-adic analogues of the classical Dirichlet and Fejér kernels on R/Z,...
