Shifting Rural Quantification Towards Study of Health Disparities: Applications in Statistical and Spatial Analysis of Rural Colorectal Cancer

Creator:: Buchalter, Robert Blake
Abstract:: Quantitative measurement of the urban-rural continuum for examination of U.S. rural health disparities is a relatively new research area, where only a handful of studies have investigated health disparities using quantitative rural measures and even fewer have attempted to integrate health variables within said measures. Most U.S. rural health disparity...

Toxicogenomic Biomarkers Associated with PAH Carcinogenic Potential in a 3D in Vitro Bronchial Epithelial Model

Creator:: Chang, Yvonne
Abstract:: The environmental health science community recognizes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as a re-emerging class of environmental pollutants due to their persistence and prominence in mixtures of concern. Due to their widespread distribution in the environment, exposure to PAHs often occur as complex chemical mixtures. Exposures are linked to numerous adverse...

Population ecology of the dusky Canada goose (Branata candensis occidentalis Baird)

Creator:: Sheaffer, Susan E.
Abstract:: Adult dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis Baird) were banded with plastic neck bands and observed on the winter range during 1985-92. Annual survival rates of adult geese estimated from observation data ranged from 76% to 85%. A model of Canada goose population dynamics was developed to illustrate relationships between...

Characteristics of soil organic matter in two forest soils

Creator:: Crow, Susan E.
Abstract:: Soil organic matter (SOM) is the terrestrial biosphere's largest pool of organic carbon (C) and is an integral part of C cycling globally. Soil organic matter composition typically can be traced directly back to the type of detrital inputs; however, the stabilization of SOM results as a combination of chemical...

Distortions to travel cost derived demand curves : water quality and durable goods

Creator:: Garifo, Susan E.
Abstract:: The travel cost method of deriving demand and value of recreation does not include fixed costs of recreational durable goods purchases or allow for supply restrictions on the number of suitable sites available. The omission of these two real-world situations results in derivation of demand curves which are more inelastic...

Application of toxicogenomics to determine mechanism of tumor modulation by dietary indole phytochemicals in hepatocellular carcinoma

Creator:: Tilton, Susan C.
Abstract:: Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), a primary I3C derivative in vivo, are known chemopreventive agents available as dietary supplements. I3C was found to suppress or enhance tumors in several animal models. Chemoprotection is attributed to the ability of indoles to alter carcinogen metabolism effectively blocking initiation. However, mechanisms for enhancement...

An analysis of the relationship between the preferred cognitive learning style of field independence/field dependence and success in learning English as a second language among post-secondary Japanese students

Creator:: McNaught, Susan C.
Abstract:: The research analyzed the relationship between the preferred cognitive learning style of field independence/field dependence and success in learning English as a second language (ESL) among post-secondary Japanese students. The study provided a review of literature in the field and developed a methodology including identification of appropriate measurement instruments. The...

Vitamin E and the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein during zebrafish embryogenesis

Creator:: Miller, Galen W.
Abstract:: Vitamin E was first described in 1922 as an unknown factor required for impregnated rats to carry their offspring to term. In fact, when vitamin E was chemically characterized it was given the name "tocopherol" derived from the Greek: tokos = childbirth; phero = to bear; and –ol, indicating an...

Population demography, resource use, and movement in cooperatively breeding Micronesian Kingfishers

Creator:: Kesler, Dylan C.
Abstract:: Island systems and species are susceptible to extinction because of their small population size and an ecological naiveté from an evolutionary past lacking strong competition and predation. For example, only one-fifth of the world’s bird species occur on islands, yet more than 90% of the avian extinctions witnessed during historic...

Rapid endangered species assessment : a novel approach to improve extinction risk assessments in poorly known species

Creator:: Bianchi, Carlos A.
Abstract:: The number of endangered species is rapidly increasing while paucity of adequate information and resources delays establishment of conservation actions. The IUCN’s listing system is insufficient to determine conservation priorities and many species lack information even to be evaluated (i.e., “data deficient”). Here I proposed and tested the Rapid Endangered...
