No full textJune Ambrose in conversation with Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs at The Museum at FIT's annual fashion symposium, Black Fashion Designers, held on Monday, February 6, 2017. The one-day symposium featured talks by designers, models, journalists, and scholars on African diasporic culture and fashion.June Ambrose is a celebrity stylist and designer whose clients include Sean Combs, Jay Z, Alicia Keys, and Gabrielle Union. She is author of the book Effortless Style.Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs founded their brand Cushnie et Ochs in 2008, creating collections that juxtapose bold sensuality with minimalist sophistication
Influence of density-dependent food consumption, foraging and stacking behaviour on the growth rate of the Northern abalone, Haliotis kamtschatkana
No full textGrowth of abalone in the wild and hatchery is density-dependent in response to intraspecific competition for food and/or space. To determine if a candidate aquaculture species, Haliotis kamtschatkana, exhibits density-dependent growth we raised animals at three density levels and two food treatments: unlimited (ad libitum) and rationed (individual portions were the same among density treatments). We also tested for differences in food consumption, foraging patterns and stacking behaviour among the density levels. We observed density-dependent growth in the rationed treatments, indicating that relatively high growth rates at lower densities are driven, in part, by factors other than differences in food consumption. However, overall the quantity of food consumed related directly to growth; treatments fed ad libitum had higher growth rates. Furthermore, even when food was provided in excess, foraging was restricted to ~ 2 h after sunset in all treatments and the amount consumed per abalone was significantly lower at high densities. This is probably because high density animals could not access the food provided: fewer were observed foraging and they had to move from prominent stacks. Our results indicate that both temporal and spatial access to food are critical and that managers can observe foraging and stacking by abalone in tanks to determine if a specific design will limit food consumption, and ultimately growth

She describes her family and education, graduation form Harvard Law School, and her professional endeavors. Martinez discusses the story line of her book, what motivated her to write, and how she brought her experiences from the prosecutor's office to bear on her writing. She describes her writing as an opportunity to explore her own cultural heritage. Martinez discusses the art of writing and talks about what she reads.

Young Investigator: Michelle J Yoo
No full text Supervisor’s supporting comments I have always been impressed with Michelle’s ability to conduct research in an independent and yet highly effective manner. Part of her research in my group has examined the use of affinity columns to examine drug–protein binding with serum proteins, such as human serum albumin. This work is extremely important to the fields of pharmaceutical chemistry and clinical chemistry in providing the data needed for the development of new drugs or in the optimization of treatments for patients with new, or existing, drugs. Another topic that Michelle has examined in her research is the use of new supports based on monolithic materials and ultrafast-extraction methods for affinity-based separations of biological samples and high-throughput screening of drug–protein binding. She was the lead author on a review written on this topic and also has several research publications related to this area of work. During her graduate studies, Michelle has emerged as a real leader in my group. She has excellent people and communication skills and is highly motivated in her pursuit of an advanced degree in analytical chemistry and bioanalysis. I have extremely high expectations for her in the future as she continues her career.

Die waardasie en meting van ontasbare bates.
No full textIn praktyk word daar talle probleme met die rekeningkundige verantwoording van ontasbare bates ervaar. Hierdie probleme kan in vier hoof kategorieë verdeel word naamlik die identifikasie, erkenning, tydsgaping en meting van ontasbare bates (sien hoofstuk 2). Van al hierdie probleme is die metingsprobleem die grootste, m.a.w behoort ontasbare bates teen koste of teen billike waarde gemeet en in die state ingesluit te word? Daar is talle argumente teen die gebruik van beide en díe word in detail in hoofstuk 2 uiteengesit. Dit is die skrywer se mening dat billike waarde ‘n baie beter maatstaf vir sodaninge bates is, omdat koste gebaseerde maatstawwe nie altyd relevant is nie. Die grootste kritiek teen die gebruik van billike waarde -maatstawwe is egter dat dit onbetroubaar, ingewikkeld, duur en wisselvallig kan wees. Daar is ook vrese dat die openbaarmaking daarvan nadelig vir maatskappye se kompeterende voordeel kan wees.Die probleem wat rekeningkundiges in die gesig staar is dus eerstens om die kwalitatiewe eienskappe van relevantheid en betroubaarheid teen mekaar op te weeg. Indien hulle tot die gevolgtrekking kom dat relevantheid in hierdie geval belangriker is as betroubaarheid moet die kwessies van koste, ingewikkeldheid en wisselvalligheid steeds aangespreek word. Hierdie studie bestudeer benaderings en metodes om ontasbare bates teen hulle billike waarde te meet, ten einde te bepaal of sodanige metodes wel die kritiek daarteen kan oorkom, m.a.w. kan sodanige billike waarde -metodes wel ‘n betroubare, koste-effektiewe, verstaanbare en stabiele aanwysing van waarde verskaf?Prof. D Coetse
Visual Experience Dataset
No full textThe Visual Experience Dataset consists of over 240 hours of egocentric video, complete with gaze and head tracking, recorded while participants engaged in common, everyday activities. This was a collective effort of the labs of Michelle Greene (Bates College, now Barnard College, Columbia University), Benjamin Balas (North Dakota State University), Mark Lescroart, and Paul MacNeilage (both University of Nevada Reno). All sessions contain head tracking and processed gaze files. World video, eye video, and session annotations are available on Databrary (https://nyu.databrary.org/volume/1612)
* Tasks include: working, shopping, cleaning, hiking, socializing, playing music, creating art, and sports.
* Demographics: N=59 observers, ages 6-49.

No full textCooperative Extension Answers the Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding
No full textExtension has many opportunities to promote breastfeeding, one of the most highly effective preventive measures a mother can take to protect the health of her infant, and herself. This manuscript describes how and why Cooperative Extension can partner with federal and state efforts to promote breastfeeding. Rutgers Family and Community Health Sciences department members served on state workgroups to identify and implement evidence-based strategies to promote breastfeeding in the health care, childcare, and worksite settings. Extension is an important public health partner, providing technical assistance, content expertise, and resources that meet the needs of its community.Peer reviewe
