No full textThe Lotte Buff Family Collection consists of material on the Neuburger, Bendit and other related families (including the Rosenberger, Bergmann and Muhr/ Fleischmann families). The collection encompasses family trees and a wedding album.Lotte Buff, November 2004Lotte Buff was born in Ichenhausen, Germany on June 9, 1921 as the daughter of Heinrich Neuburger (1887-1978) and Hilde Bendit (1896-1987). She married Fritz (Fred) Buff in New York in 1945.Heinrich's brother, Joseph Neuburger, married Therese Gutmann in Nuremberg, Germany in 1937.Processeddigitize
E. E. Buff Oral History Interview
No full textOral interview with Elsie Buff who was the director of the virology program for over 35 years with the state laboratory system in Florida. Starting in 1965, Buff began working on encephalitis in the state lab in Jacksonville. It was during this time that Buff sought to upgrade the facilities in the laboratory and developed a series of protocols for use by its personnel. In addition to her scientific work, she also worked to integrate the state lab which was racially segregated at the time. Buff also describes the technical and fiscal challenges she encountered during the beginning of the AIDS pandemic and the various encephalitis outbreaks that occurred over the years
Cultivating and Refining Clinical Knowledge and Practice: Relating the Boyer Model to Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarship
No full textThis article discusses the importance of collaboration between faculty members with clinical and research focused doctoral degrees. The barriers to obtaining tenure for clinical faculty members as compared to the research prepared faculty members are presented. Best practice outcomes are accomplished by using a team approach. The team uses the strenths of each of the academic bacgrounds, connecting them in collaboration and professionalism. Support for each other, with the Nursing community, provides empowerment and success in both patient outcomes and clinical excellence.Peer reviewe
Conservation status of buff-breasted sandpipers (Tryngites subruficollis) in the Western Hemisphere: a conservation genetic approach
No full textMaster of ScienceDivision of BiologySamantha M. WiselyRange-wide estimates of shorebird (Aves: Charadriiformes) populations suggest sharp declines in population sizes across a range of species. Efforts to accurately assess the conservation status of wild populations are becoming increasingly vital to species management. One shorebird of conservation concern, the Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Tryngites subruficollis), is a New World migrant which winters in southeastern South America and breeds in the arctic. To establish an updated conservation status for Buff-breasted Sandpipers, we conducted a molecular survey of wild populations on spatial and temporal scales. We analyzed patterns of global population structure, demographic trends, and phylogeography using nine polymorphic microsatellites and two mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers, cytochrome b and the control region, among 477 individuals across their distributional range. To empirically assess the impact of population declines on genetic diversity, we also surveyed segments of the same two mtDNA markers from 220 museum specimens collected across a 135-year period. Contemporary microsatellite and mtDNA analyses revealed that Buff-breasted Sandpipers are admixed on a global scale, with effective population size estimates ranging from 2,657 to 16,400 birds and no signal of a recent genetic bottleneck. Contemporary mtDNA analyses suggested a pattern of haplotype diversity consistent with a historic radiation from a single refugium which we estimated to have occurred between 8,000−45,000 years before present. Using five measures of mtDNA diversity (haplotype and nucleotide diversity, trend analyses of haplotype richness, Watterson’s estimate of theta, and phi-statistics), as well as a Bayesian Skyline reconstruction of demographic trends in effective population size (N[subscript]e[subscript]f), we concluded that substantial mtDNA diversity and N[subscript]e[subscript]f had not been lost as a result of the population declines in this species. While genetic diversity did not appear to have been lost due to population losses, management efforts must focus on preventing future losses in order for wild populations to remain viable. Our results suggested that the global population of Buff-breasted Sandpipers should be treated as a single, panmictic conservation unit and that successful management must focus on preventing further declines and habitat fragmentation
Kirkwood–buff integrals from molecular simulation
No full textThe Kirkwood–Buff (KB) theory is one of the most rigorous solution theories thatconnects molecular structure to macroscopic behaviour. The key quantity, the so–called KB Kirkwood–Buff Integrals (KBIs), are defined either in terms of fluctuations in the number of molecules or integrals over radial distribution functions over open subvolumes. In the grand–canonical ensemble, KBIs of infinitely large and open systems are directly related to thermodynamic properties such as partial derivatives of chemical potentials and partial molar volumes. Using molecular simulations, it is only possible to study small systems with a finite number of molecules, and therefore finite–size effects should be considered.Engineering Thermodynamic
Kirkwood-Buff integrals from molecular simulation
No full textThe Kirkwood-Buff (KB) theory provides a rigorous framework to predict thermodynamic properties of isotropic liquids from the microscopic structure. Several thermodynamic quantities relate to KB integrals, such as partial molar volumes. KB integrals are expressed as integrals of RDFs over volume but can also be obtained from density fluctuations in the grand-canonical ensemble. Various methods have been proposed to estimate KB integrals from molecular simulation. In this work, we review the available methods to compute KB integrals from molecular simulations of finite systems, and particular attention is paid to finite-size effects. We also review various applications of KB integrals computed from simulations. These applications demonstrate the importance of computing KB integrals for relating findings of molecular simulation to macroscopic thermodynamic properties of isotropic liquids.Accepted Author ManuscriptEngineering Thermodynamic
Il sondaggio peritoneale nella diagnostica dell’addome acuto : 15 anni di esperienza
No full textPeritoneal lavage is a quick, simple and efficient measure. It is a most important examination that comes directly after resuscitation, clinicl and radiological examination. It is indicated in cases of abdominal trauma, multiple injuries and acute abdominal syndrome. by the correct evaluation of its results, early surgical intervention is granted and a final diagnosis can be established, thus preventing frequently unnecessary or delayed laparotomy. peritoneal lavage therefore represents the most highly recommended procedure in cases of acute abdomen
Fabrication of high temperature surface acoustic wave devices for sensor applications
No full textSurface acoustic devices have been shown to be suitable not only for signal processing but also for sensor applications. In this paper high temperature surface acoustic wave devices based on gallium orthophosphate have been fabricated, using a lift-off technique and tested for high frequency applications at temperatures up to 600 ºC. The measured S-parameter (S11) has been used to study the mass loading effect of the platinum electrodes and turnover temperature of GaPO4 with a 5? cut. The analysis of these results shows that the mass loading effect can be used to predict the desired resonant frequency of the SAW devices. Also two different adhesion layers for Pt metallisation were studied. Our results show that Zirconium is a more suitable under layer than Titanium
