Interview of author Michelle Martinez
No full textMichelle Martinez, author of the crime novel "Most wanted," talks about the issues faced by Latin Americans in their home country versus what they face in the United States. 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. Martinez is interviewed by Diana Rivera at the 2005 Left Coast Crime Conference held in El Paso, Texas
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.

Genetic, environmental and epigenetic influences on variation in human tooth number, size and shape
No full textThe aim of this review is to highlight some key recent developments in studies of tooth number, size and shape that are providing better insights into the roles of genetic, environmental and epigenetic factors in the process of dental development. Advances in molecular genetics are helping to clarify how epigenetic factors influence the spatial and temporal regulation of the complex processes involved in odontogenesis. At the phenotypic level, the development of sophisticated systems for image analysis is enabling new dental phenotypes to be defined. The 2D and 3D data that are generated by these imaging systems can then be analysed with mathematical approaches, such as geometric morphometric analysis. By gathering phenotypic data and DNA from twins, it is now possible to use ‘genome-wide’ association studies and the monozygotic co-twin design to identify important genes in odontogenesis and also to clarify how epigenetic and environmental factors can affect this process. Given that many of the common dental anomalies affecting the human dentition are interrelated, apparently reflecting pleiotropic genetic effects, the discoveries and new directions described in this paper should have important implications for clinical dental practice in the future.Grant Townsend, Michelle Bockmann, Toby Hughes and Alan Broo
Cooperative 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
Do feeding practices, gestation length, and birth weight affect the timing of emergence of the first primary tooth?
No full textRecent studies of twins have confirmed that there is a strong genetic constribution to variation in timing of primary tooth emergence. Although environmental factors, such as severe nutritional deficiency of the infant, may affect primary tooth emergence, the roles of other environmental factors remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether newborn feeding practices, gestation length, and birth weight affect the emergence time of the first primary tooth. Data were collected from questionnaires and parental records as part of an ongoing longitudinal study of Australian twins and their families. The sample comprised 217 twin pairs. Most commonly, a mandibular central incisor was the first tooth to emerge, with the next being a maxillary central incisor. F- and t-tests were performed, comparing variables and mean values between groups, and statistical significance was set at p2500g) (10.1mo compared with 7.9mo). These findings indicated that the development of primary dentition is well 'protected' against environmental disturbances, with only extreme prematurity or very low birth weight leading to significant delays in emergence.Emmanual Chan, Michelle Bockmann, Toby Hughes, Suzanna Mihailidis and Grant Townsen
