Asymmetric hydrogenation of acetamido cinnamate ester in water.
No full text48 leaves : illustrations.
Bibliography: leaves 44-48.This research aimed to investigate the DuPHOS-Rh catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of acetamido cinnamate ester using water as the sole reaction solvent. The attempted synthesis of acetamido cinnamate ester was carried out using a 2-step literature procedure starting with N-acetylglycine. Six different substituted aldehydes were employed as the starting materials, all of which gave low conversion and impure acetamido cinnamate ester products. Hence, the hydrogenation reactions were not completed and further investigation is required to determine if this process is a viable method to produce protected amino acids

Training methods, owner attitudes & freq. of problem behaviors in pet dogs.
No full texti, 65 leaves : illustrations.Bibliography: leaves 36-45.Problem behaviors such as aggression and destructive behavior are the primary reason why pet dogs are relinquished to animal shelters. These behaviors often pose a risk to humans as well as to other animals. Two factors believed to influence the occurrence of problem behaviors include dog owners' attitudes and owner use of training methods. In this study, dog owners were recruited to participate in an online survey. Survey items included questions about their own dog's behavior, their attitudes towards different kinds of training techniques and approaches to dog management, and questions about the kinds of training methods that they used. Positive owner attitude towards the use of positive punishment techniques significantly predicted owner reports of more dog behavior problems, and fewer good dog behaviors. Anthropomorphic attitudes significantly predicted more problem behavior. Owners' use of positive punishment methods also significantly predicted problem behavior, while use of positive reinforcement significantly predicted more good-dog behaviors. Results add to evidence suggesting the use of positive punishment contributes to problem behaviors in pet dogs and that the use of positive reinforcement may be useful in reducing problem behavior. Further, anthropomorphic attitudes and owners approving of positive punishment may contribute to the development of problems behaviors. Problem behaviors may develop from use of punishment due to decreased welfare and increased stress; anthropomorphic attitudes contribute to problem behaviors by predicting owners' use of punishment. Positive reinforcement may increase welfare in animal and thus account for the lack of correlation with problem behavior
