No full textReference letter from Ohio Historical Society Research Assistant Scott M. Wilds identifying and describing a fragment copy of a page of a longer letter by William Lloyd Garrison, then and now housed in the Benjamin Lundy papers at the Ohio History Connection. Wilds provides more content for the letter and announces that it will be included in a reprint book out shortly from Belknap Press.
Wilds' context for the Garrison letter fragment is as follows: "would like to know that we have identified this letter. It is from William Lloyd Garrison to the President and Members of the Anti-Slavery Reunion Convention, June 5, 1874. The convention, which Garrison did not attend, met in Chicago on June 9, 1874. The full text of the letter is printed in the Chicago [underlined] Inter-Ocean, June 10, 1874."
Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals. His Genius of Universal Emancipation was first published in 1821 from his home in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and enjoyed a wide circulation across the antebellum United States. In the 1820s, the young William Lloyd Garrison came to work for The Genius. Benjamin Lundy traveled widely seeking subscriptions to The Genius, giving talks about the anti-slavery movement, and observing and documenting the conditions of enslaved people across the Americas. He was also involved in the establishment of freed slave colonies in Mexico
The mechanistic action and application of a beta-3 selective adrenergic modulator (LY488756) in finishing cattle
No full textAnimal-derived food products provide protein, vitamins, and minerals necessary for a healthy diet. In the next few decades, the expansion of global animal agriculture will be forced to keep pace with an expected world population growth of 2.3 billion people. Feeding the growing world will either mean producing more food with the same resources or making drastic changes to the way the world currently produces food. Growth promoting technology can be used in livestock production to increase live efficiency and improve yields of animal-derived food products. An example of a growth promoting technology in beef cattle is beta-adrenergic agonists. Research was conducted to gain a greater understanding of the mechanistic action and practical application of LY488756, a selective β3-adrenergic modulator, when fed to finishing cattle. When our efforts began, LY488756 was an investigational compound designed for the finishing phase of beef cattle. LY488756 is described as a selective β-adrenergic modulator with reported agonist effects on β3 adrenergic receptors and antagonistic effects on β1 and β2 adrenergic receptors. Much is still unknown about this compound, however clinical research suggests increased growth rate, improved feed efficiency, and more effective nutrient partitioning in finishing cattle. Using existing knowledge of beta-adrenergic agonist compounds (ractopamine hydrochloride, zilpaterol hydrochloride, and clenbuterol hydrochloride) may be helpful in understanding the basic mechanistic function and potential for application of LY488756. During the summer of 2014 (June-August), thirty-five finishing cattle were fed at the University of Illinois Beef and Sheep Field Research Laboratory. Cattle were fed LY488756 for 28 d or 56 d, ractopamine hydrochloride for 28 d or 56 d, or a control diet for 56 d. Primary objectives of this study were to study the effects of LY488756 on mechanistic action, which included beta-receptor subtype parameters, protein abundance of uncoupling protein-1, which is a marker of increased thermogenesis, and blood metabolic response. Protein expression was not different among treatments for any of the three β-adrenergic receptor subtypes when analyzed with western blotting procedures. Abundance of uncoupling protein-1 was not significantly increased in cattle fed LY488756 when compared with cattle not fed LY488756. Baseline and glucose-induced insulin levels were reduced in cattle fed LY488756 and in cattle fed ractopamine hydrochloride compared with cattle fed control. These results suggested 1) beta-receptor subtype proteins, although they may or may not remain active, were equally expressed after feeding cattle LY488756 for 28 d and 56 d, ractopamine hydrochloride for 28 d and 56 d, or a control diet; 2) cattle fed LY488756 did not experience increased thermogenesis as indicated by the lack of an increase in uncoupling protein-1; and 3) finishing cattle fed LY488756 and ractopamine hydrochloride become more insulin sensitive compared with cattle not fed LY488756 or ractopamine hydrochloride.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2018-12-01The student, Benjamin Bohrer, accepted the attached license on 2016-08-25 at 14:45.The student, Benjamin Bohrer, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2016-08-25 at 14:46.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2016-08-26 at 14:28.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #10127 on 2021-03-04 at 16:29:41Made available in DSpace on 2021-03-05T21:45:00Z (GMT).

Nietzsche's Nihilism in Walter Benjamin
No full textIl libro ricostruisce gli elementi che Walter Benjamin riprende da Nietzsche nel definire tanto la sua teoria dell'arte di avanguardia che il suo approccio alla azione politica. Il lavoro vuole definire la linea eccentrica del discorso filosofico di Benjamin nella rappresentazione del moderno come "luogo di catastrofe permanente", in cui egli tenta di superare il nihilism nietzscheano attraverso la "debole speranza messianica". Il libro analizza le figure che Benjamin usa nel Passagen-Werk (Baudelaire, Marx, Aragon, Proust e Blanqui) come allegorie per spiegare molti aspetti della modernità. Il carattere distruttivo del moderno è un concetto che Benjamin riprende in parte da Nietzsche, in parte da Marx, in parte da Scholem e dalla mistica ebraica. Il libro si sofferma sulla metodologia benjaminiana di "strappare" immagini e concetti dal loro contesto per ricomporli in un discorso filosofico del tutto diverso.he book recontructs the lines of Nihilism that Walter Benjamin took from Friedrich Nietzsche that define both his theory of art and the avant-garde, and his approach to political action. It retraces the eccengtric route of Benjamin's philosophical discourse in the rapresentation of the modern as a place of "permanent catstrophe", where he attempts to overcome the Nietschean Nihilism through messianic hope. The book analyses how Benjamin's Arcades Project uses figures as Baudelaire, Maex, Aragon, Proust and Blanqui as allegories to explain many aspects of modernity. The author argues that Benjamin uses Baudelaire as a paradigm to emphasize the dark side of the modern era, offering us a key to the interpretation of communicative and cultural trend of today
R. Williams letter to Mrs. Susan M.Weirman, September 9, 1895
No full textShort note from Lundy biographer R. Williams to Mrs. Susan M. Wierman (here, "Wiederman") concerning Williams' proposed return visits to Wierman's home in Clear Creek, Illinois. Williams explains that he had intended to visit with a "Col. Plumb"; but Plumb is elderly and had fallen ill. Williams proposes hoping to visit solo in months to come, and asks after the dates of the local Friends Quarterly Meeting.

Red Beetroot. A Potential Source of Natural Additives for the Meat Industry
No full textCurrently, the food industry is looking for alternatives to synthetic additives in processed food products, so research investigating new sources of compounds with high biological activity is worthwhile and becoming more common. There are many different types of vegetables that contain bioactive compounds, and additional features of some vegetables include uses as natural colorants and antioxidants. In this sense, and due to the special composition of beetroot, the use of this vegetable allows for the extraction of a large number of compounds with special interest to the meat industry. This includes colorants (betalains), antioxidants (betalains and phenolic compounds), and preservatives (nitrates), which can be applied for the reformulation of meat products, thus limiting the number and quantity of synthetic additives added to these foods and, at the same time, increase their shelf-life. Despite all these benefits, the application of beetroot or its products (extracts, juice, powder, etc.) in the meat industry is very limited, and the body of available research on beetroot as an ingredient is scarce. Therefore, in this review, the main biologically active compounds present in beetroot, the implications and benefits that their consumption has for human health, as well as studies investigating the use beetroot in the reformulation of meat and meat products are presented in a comprehensible manner
Investigation of Alternatives to Ionophore/Antibiotic Management Strategies in Finishing Cattle and the Inherent Effect on Beef Quality and Shelf Life
No full textWith growing antimicrobial resistance concerns and new regulations limiting the use of antibiotics in livestock production, research for plant-based alternatives to antibiotics with antimicrobial effects is needed. This study investigated the effects of replacing monensin and tylosin with essential oils and(or) benzoic acid in finishing cattle diets. Sixty-eight crossbred steers were blocked by 3 initial weight categories and within each block, 1 of 5 finishing dietary treatments were randomly assigned: control (CON); monensin/tylosin (M/T); essential oil (EO); benzoic acid (BA); and a combination of EO and BA (COMBO). Monensin/tylosin supplemented steers had greater feed efficiency compared with steers fed CON, EO, and COMBO diets. However, EO and(or) BA supplemented beef finishing diets did not negatively affect most other major growth performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, sensory traits, colour and oxidative stability of steaks and ground beef when compared with cattle fed no additives or conventionally fed cattle supplemented with M/T
Generosity Across the Income and Wealth Distributions
No full textPoliticalEconomy|PublicFinanceDespite widespread interest, there is little systematic evidence on the relationship between income, wealth, and charitable giving. Although the media suggests that the well-off are stingy, the misuse of data, incomplete controls, inappropriate empirical specifications and a lack of accounting for the influence of outliers make these claims questionable. In this paper, PERC��������s Mary Julia and George R. Jordan, Jr. Professor of Public Policy Jonathan Meer and co-author Benjamin A. Priday use the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to provide descriptive statistics on this relationship. The authors find that, irrespective of specification, donative behavior increases with greater resources
