Eugene E. Agger Papers, 1935-1956
No full textThis collection consists of the personal and professional records of Dr. Eugene E. Agger, Professor Emeritus of economics from Rutgers University. The collection is approximately 2 cubic feet in size and consists of five letter size manuscript boxes and spans the period 1935-1956. The bulk of the material dates from 1940-1948.Eugene Agger was born on December 4, 1879 in Cincinatti Ohio. He married May C. Hessler on June 4, 1908. They had two children, Donald (1912-1963) and Carolyn Eugenia (1913- ). Agger received both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Cincinnati in 1901 and 1902 respectively. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University in 1907. He served successively as a lecturer in economics, assistant professor and associate professor at Columbia University from 1907-1926. He moved on to become a full professor of economics and head of the Economics department at Rutgers University from 1926-1950. While at Rutgers he also served as director of the Bureau of Economic and Business Research. He died in 1966.English
Den invasive art, Stillehavsøsters (Crassostrea gigas)ved Agger Tange, Limfjorden: The invasive species, Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) at Agger Tange, Limfjorden
No full textClimate changes and the movement of the climate zones can have great influence on the ecosystems. Introduced species are for instants a huge problem around the world due to the possible damage it can cause on already existing ecosystems. This could be a problem if the introduced specie is invasive and spread to takeover the niche of native species. Due to the resent years with increased water temperature it has been possible for the invasive species Crassostrea gigas to reproduce in the Limfjord in Denmark. Hereby it can threaten the existing ecosystems. The aim with this project is to study the conditions for reproduction of C. gigas in the Limfjord specifically at Agger Tange. And thru field work obtain data by collecting a number of individuals (n= 1140). The main focus has been to make a realistic image of the age distribution of C. gigas at Agger Tange and give an indication of the tendency of the reproduction. In addition discus the biological consequences the presens of C. gigas can have in the Limfjord on the existing ecosystems if the population increases. This discussion will be based on litterateur and related to the results in this project. The conclusion is that an increasing tendency in the reproduction and thereby an increased number of individuals in the population of C. gigas will dominate other species at Agger Tange and possibly the rest of the Limfjord. This could be the case if the continued suitable temperatures for a reproduction will be present. It is still uncertain witch consequences C. gigas can have specifically on an ecosystem like the Limfjord. However it is to assume that a change in the biodiversity will occur.Climate changes and the movement of the climate zones can have great influence on the ecosystems.

Effective strategies for the interdisciplinary teams within the Alberta Justice and Solicitor General, Training Academy to strengthen collaborative practice
No full textAt the Alberta Justice and Solicitor General (JSG) Training Academy (TA), interdisciplinary teams, together, are responsible for provision of regulated and adjunct training to provincial law enforcement professionals. Collaboration requires individual reflection, willingness to seek understanding, propensity to let go of historical misconceptions, and clarity of the TA’s role in the JSG ministry. Using action research engagement (Rowe, Graf, Agger-Gupta, Piggot-Irvine, & Harris, 2013, pp. 19–28), this inquiry sought strategies considered most effective to strengthen interdisciplinary collaborative practice. In compliance with all Royal Roads University requirements, one open space technology session and seven interviews allowed for dialogue and planning for change. Four primary themes arose, leading to the following four recommendations: (a) continue to encourage individual development and self-awareness; (b) grow mutual understanding; (c) enhance structures, processes, and practices that propel a learning organization; and (d) clarify the vision that links the TA to becoming a centre of excellence

Presence of Agger Nasi cells and their relationship with frontal recess thickness: a retrospective study in a Brazilian population
No full textObjective: The aim of this study was to carry out an epidemiological survey of the presence of Agger Nasi (AN) cells, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, in a Brazilian population in the region of Maringá - Paraná. Materials and Methods: The tomographic analyzes verified the thickness of the frontal beak (FB), anteroposterior length of the frontal isthmus, anteroposterior length of the FR and side-to-side, anteroposterior and vertical (cranio-caudal) diameter of the AN cells. Statistical analyzes were performed using the statistical program Jamovi (V2.5.5.0). For correlation analysis between the variables, the Spearman test was used. The study indicates the presence of AN cells in 100% of the individuals analyzed, being present bilaterally. Results: There was no significant correlation between FB and the AN cell. Significant positive correlations were found relating Right Agger Nasi Cell (ANC-R) and Left Agger Nasi Cell (ANC-L) with Front Recess (FR) and Frontal Sinus (FS). Conclusion: Anatomical knowledge on the part of professionals is of fundamental importance for a surgery to access the FS in a precise and uncomplicated way
Appreciating the mandate of the education team in BC government's risk management branch
No full textFrom a heuristic standpoint, this study sought to determine "How might the Education Team support the Risk Management Branch's mandate for continuous improvement?" Using action research from an appreciative inquiry stance, I worked to understand the changes that were affecting the Education Team within the Risk Management Branch (RMB) and how these related to its core mandate and roles. Four methods were used in this research which included a client survey to 85 clients with 12 questions regarding their knowledge of risk management and the value of the services provided, Team interviews, two consultant and executive world cafés and a risk assessment. During the interviews and cafés, four questions were used sequentially to ascertain the participant's thoughts, feelings, values, and wants. These were followed up with a "make it happen" café (Rowe, Agger-Gupta, Harris & Graf, 2013) wherein the participants were shown the findings and draft recommendations from which some additional feedback was garnered. Much data was derived from this research providing recommendations to the Sponsor being the Executive Director of RMB assisting her in moving the Education Team and Branch forward including: (a) providing a better understanding of the mandate and roles, (b) seeking a new leadership approach, (c) responding to a need for new human capital, (d) encouraging more collaboration, (e) implementing Leaner processes, and (f) providing additional educational opportunities
A novel S-phase specific E2F6 complex containing the polycomb group proteins EPC1 and EZH2
No full textA novel repressive E2F6 complex containing the polycomb group protein, EPC1, that interacts with EZH2 in a proliferation-specific manner
No full textThe transcriptional repressor E2F6 has been identified as a component of two distinct polycomb group protein (PcG)-containing complexes, suggesting a mechanism for the recruitment of repressive complexes to target sequences in DNA. Whereas one complex is involved in the repression of classic E2F target genes in G0, a role for E2F6 within the cell cycle has yet to be defined. We searched for novel E2F6-binding proteins using a yeast two-hybrid screen and identified the PcG protein, EPC1. We showed that, both in vitro and in vivo, E2F6, DP1, and EPC1 form a stable core complex with repressive activity. Furthermore, we identified the proliferation-specific PcG, EZH2, as an EPC1-interacting protein. Using affinity purification, we showed that E2F6, DP1, EPC1, EZH2, and Sin3B co-elute, suggesting the identification of a novel E2F6 complex that exists in vivo in both normal and transformed human cell lines. EZH2 is required for cellular proliferation and consistent with this, EZH2 elutes with the E2F6-EPC1 complex only in proliferating cells. Thus we have identified a novel E2F6-PcG complex (E2F6-EPC1) that interacts with EZH2 and may regulate genes required for cell cycle progression.[...
