Maternal obesity surgery : effects in women, spouses and offspring
No full textIntroduction: Bariatric surgery is an important treatment for the worldwide increasing epidemic of obesity. However, the effects of such surgery on offspring epigenetic profile and effects on objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behavior in women undergoing bariatric surgery and family members are essentially unknown.Aim: The aim of this thesis was to investigate possible effects of maternal weight loss after bariatric surgery and effects on differences in maternal gestational weight gain in repeated pregnancies of the same women on sibling body size in childhood, epigenetic profile and physical activity among siblings and spouses.Methods: Longitudinal studies with repeated objective measures in the same women, spouses and offspring before and after maternal bariatric surgery.Results: There were positive associations, in women undergoing bariatric surgery (n = 124), between differences in total and second trimester gestational weight gain and differences in offspring birth weight.Maternal bariatric surgery, with subsequent weight loss between pregnancies, is associated with overrepresentation of differences in methylated sites in genes involved in inflammation and type-2 diabetes signaling when comparing offspring born before (n = 31) and after (n = 31) maternal bariatric surgery.There were no significant differences in objectively measured physical activity or time spent sedentary from three months before to nine months after surgery in women undergoing Roux- en-Y Gastric Bypass (n = 56), despite substantial weight loss.Objectively measured physical activity and time spent sedentary three months before and nine months after the women’s Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass did not differ significantly in spouses (n = 33). However, during the same period, physical activity decreased significantly in children (n = 75), while time spent sedentary increased significantly.Conclusion: Interpregnancy differences in gestational weight gain, in women undergoing bariatric surgery, are associated with increased differences in offspring birth weights and differences in the epigenetic regulation of obesity-related genes in comparison of siblings born before and after maternal bariatric surgery. Furthermore, large weight loss after maternal Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is not associated with significant change in physical activity or time spent sedentary in women or spouses, while children decrease physical activity and increase time spent sedentary from three months before to nine months after maternal Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.List of scientific papersI.

Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

Daniel Emmett postcard
No full textPostcard of Daniel Emmett and his home in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Emmett is considered to be the author of the antebellum song "Dixie," written in 1859, which became the unofficial song of the Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. He was born in Mount Vernon in 1815 and taught himself the fiddle, and later became associated with minstrel shows and helped to define that genre. Minstrel shows traveled around the United States, presenting skits and musical performances. Emmett also composed many other songs, including "Old Dan Tucker," "Turkey in the Straw," and "The Blue Tail Fly." He died in 1904

Meet Daniel Melnick author of The Ash Tree
No full textMeet Daniel Melnick author of The Ash Tree. It tells a timeless story of the romance and marriage between an American Armenian girl and an immigrant who survived the 1915 Armenian Genocide in Turkey. In the aftermath of the Genocide from the 20s through the early 70s, the couple and their three children become vivid, quintessentially American characters, only for tragedy to find them again, echoing the staggering losses of 1915. The cover painting with its frayed, whitewashed frame is by the author’s wife, Jeanette Arax Melnick, and the novel is based partly on the lives of her family. Combining history and fictionalized memoir, The Ash Tree is an important, beautifully written novel of survival, new life, and heartbreak. Available from independent bookstores, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com. Further information at www.danielmelnick.com. Price: $25. ISBN: 9780981854762
