Utilization of social program by single female-headed families in Macon County, Alabama, 1990
Get PDFThis study explored the impact of family support systems, employment, education and availability of information on the utilization of social programs by single female-headed families. It attempted to determine if there was a significant relationship between the four variables. A correlation design was used in the study. A questionnaire was administered to 50 single female-headed families in the Brown Street housing complex located in Tuskegee (Macon County), Alabama. The major findings in the study revealed that there is a significant impact of education on the utilization of social programs by single female-headed families. The study also revealed that employment impacted on the utilization of social programs by single female-headed families
The relationship of principal's leadership behavior and student achievement in Title I schools with school-wide programs, 2005
Get PDFThis study examined the extent to which principal's leadership behaviors were predictive of student achievement based on Georgia's Criterion Reference Competency Tests (CRCT) in math and reading. The relationship was studied through the analysis of teachers' ratings of principal's leadership behavior on a researcher-developed survey and CRCT scores for two school years. Multiple regressions analyses revealed that school enrollment, class size, Adequate Yearly Progress status, and percent of students eligible free and reduced price lunch were predictive of both reading and math achievement. The analyses also revealed that people leadership and teachers' race were predictive of reading achievement and structure leadership was predictive of math achievement

Development of an Anti-stenotrophomonas maltophilia Immunoglobulin-G (lgG) that Prevents Iron Transport in Gram Negative Bacteria, 2009
Get PDFThe resistance of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia to antimicrobial agents has become a major medical and public health problem. The frequent treatment of S. maltophilia borne infections with the same anti-microbial agent over a period of time inherently results in the pathogen developing resistance to the drug. A polyclonal antibody cocktail, D-Squared David L Scott 01 (D2-DLSO1) was used to recover surface exposed immunogenic polypeptides (SEIPs) from the cell walls of S. maltophilia. Bioinformatics strategies (Blast analysis, sequence alignment hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity plots) were performed to identify epitopes of ferric enterobactin receptor (Fep A) homolog in S. maltophilia. Data showed that D2-DLSO1 recognized regions along the Fep A peptide sequence that was confirmed in an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay. The amino acid sequences of Escherichia coli (E. coli) Fep A Iron receptor could serve as a target for the development of anti S.maltophila IgG that are useful in protection against infections caused by S. maltophilia and other Gram negative bacteria. Individual S. maltophilia surface exposed immunogenic polypeptides were evaluated in growth inhibition studies and ELISA was used to determine applicability as targets for immunological neutralization. The data suggest that serial dilution (100-fold increments) of D2-DLSO 1 antisera (1 02 dilutions) representing ljig/ml showed significant binding ofD2-DLSO1 to S.maltophilia antigens as compared to controls. The data indicated that D2-DLSO1 inhibited the proliferation of S. maltophilia and several Gram negative bacteria. However, D2-DLSO1 did not show any inhibition of proliferation on Gram positive bacteria (Staphiococcus. aureus), suggesting that there are no common conserved sequences among Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria. Human monoclonal antibodies (DLS-10/ DLS-1 1) recovered from transgenic mice were capable of inhibiting the proliferation of S. maltophilia in vitro. These monoclonal antibodies showed potential of being excellent therapeutic agents for infections caused by S. maltophilia and possibly other Gram negative nosocomial pathogens
