No full textThe Daughters of Utah Pioneers, Phillips Camp biographies (circa 1940-1974) is a collection of biographical sketches of Utah pioneers submitted to the Phillips Camp, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, in Kaysville, Utah. The individual sketches give insight into the socioeconomic status of European, as well New World, converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during the nineteenth century. They contain biographical and genealogical information, as well as descriptions of experiences crossing the Atlantic to America and traveling across the plains to Utah. Minute details of pioneering life in Davis County, Utah, and other frontier outposts of settlement are illuminated. Described also are individual occupations and survival techniques along with information on offices held in, and services to, the church and the community.

This journal was published quarterly from 1903 to 1981 with the twofold purpose of providing "a record of Mission activities [and] also a strong and convincing appeal to every supporter and friend of Dr. Grenfell's work." The articles describe mission life, services and experiences. The Mission began under the auspices of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen but later a separate mission, the International Grenfell Association, was formed by Dr. Wilfred Grenfell
3-Penten-2-one, a novel aldehyde adduct, is a biomarker for increased acetaldehyde in urine
No full textDiagnostic profiling of urine for volatile compounds of around 400 patients using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) in alkaline conditions identified 3-penten-2-one (approximately 1 to >6.3 ?mol/L) in 26 patients. Five were in barbiturate coma. 3-Penten-2-one, previously of unknown origin, was shown to be formed by aldol condensation of acetaldehyde with acetone or acetoacetate during analysis. Semi-quantification of acetaldehyde using in-fibre derivatisation HS-SPME, showed high concentrations in five urine (33–348 ?mol/L) and two plasma (17 and 43 ?mol/L) samples. Hence, urinary 3-penten-2-one is a useful biomarker for increased accumulation of acetaldehyde during abnormal metabolic stres
The effects of elevated carbon dioxide concentration on leaf growth and development in Populus
No full textThe composition of the Earth’s atmosphere is changing. Such changes can largely beattributed either directly or indirectly to anthropogenic activities. However, the effectsthat these changes will have on terrestrial vegetation in the future, represents an areaof great uncertainty. The results that have been published in the literature havegenerally concluded that elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([eCO2])causes increased above- and below-ground biomass compared to ambient conditions.Members of the Populus genus have risen to the forefront of plant research into theeffects of [eCO2]. Members of the genus are extremely fast-growing, making themsuitable candidates for use as biomass energy crops. The Populus trichocarpasequence was released in 2006, hence unveiling a huge genetic resource to the plantscience community.Although a large amount of studies to date have been dedicated to the effects of[eCO2] on plant growth, few have focussed on the underlying genetic basis of thechanges. However, thanks to the genetic resources that are now freely available, thishas now been addressed. In the series of experiments presented in this thesis acombination of morphological measurements, gene expression and protein studieswere used to assess the effects of [eCO2] on Populus leaves.The results of the studies presented here have shown that there were somedifferences in various aspects of plant growth as a result of [eCO2], although themagnitude of the response was lower than has been reported previously in theliterature. However, there were rather few changes in transcript expression (asassessed by microarrays) due to [eCO2]. This conclusion was reproducible acrossdifferent microarray platforms. This result was further confirmed by a proteomicsexperiment, which showed that there were no proteins whose abundance differedsignificantly between ambient and elevated [CO2].It is possible that [eCO2] causes an additive effect on gene expression and hence thesensitivity of the techniques was such that these differences could not be identified.However, it may be possible that the plants demonstrate a plastic response to [eCO2]and that the techniques used to assess the response were inappropriate in this case. Insuch an instance, more targeted studies on particular biosynthetic pathways of interest(such as cell wall biosynthesis) may be more appropriate for any future trials
The journals of Maria Graham (1785-1842)
No full textMaria Graham is known as a travel writer, but she also translated works from French and German into English, wrote on history, painting, stories for children, and kept personal journals. My thesis centres on her travel journals and memoirs, published and unpublished. Graham is one of the first female travel writers to acquire fame as a writer shortly after publication, or to provoke controversy; in the cases of Brazil and Chile she actually is the first woman to write about those emerging states. She is outstanding as well for the authority of her narrative voice, her disregard of restrictions imposed on women’s text during her time, her complex approach to gender issues and for the changes experienced by her narrating persona. She begins by constructing a well informed but detached observer who reports her visit to India and the first visit to Brazil in a cold and distant voice, but who later allows another voice to filter through her text, an event that turns the narrator into a mere shadow in parts of the journal on Chile. It is in this journal that Graham begins to build up a contradictory persona who can be superior, ironic, and scathing when describing other women, but who can portray herself as a helpless heroine in a traditional romance when her script so demands it. In the second visit to Brazil this complex narrator becomes warmly eulogising of the country and its ruler, but this attitude does not last. The position is reversed in the third journal, which has elements of a spy thriller at times. The last chapter concerns the journals written in and about Europe regardless of chronology; they illustrate one of the main postulates of the thesis: that Graham evolved as narrator from detached observer to heroine up to the journals written at the end of her life, which become explorations into the narrator’s inner self
A poet(h)ics of intercultural dissonance: dynamics of perception in Elizabeth Bishop's braz/silian texts
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente.Análise da poética intercultural de Elizabeth Bishop, elaborando uma percepção expansiva de dissonância ou choque cultural, que problematiza os próprios termos através dos quais o pensamento antitético reduz a realidade experiencial. Demonstra inter-relações entre os textos teórico-críticos de Bishop, que engajam sua crise com a concepção linear do tempo narrativo, e a concepção de 'dissonância emancipatória' ou atonal elaborada por Arnold Schöenberg. Demonstra que os mapeamentos de dissonância cultural feitos por Bishop no Brasil desafiam seus próprios modelos esteticistas e solucionistas (lineares, teleológicas) de representação (especificamente, os modelos de transculturalismo e autenticismo), ao se recusarem a resolver a alteridade (do outro e do eu) na uniformidade (consonância), ou mesmo a dissolver seus conflitos, fixando a alteridade num 'passado atemporal' (sic), primitivizado. Examina a crise (a crítica) textual de consciência social e de gênero no corpus brasileiro de Bishop, argumentando que ele se torna valioso justamente porque a autora fracassa, e de modo perturbador, em realizar seu projeto de produzir resolução sobre suas percepções dissonantes da realidade. Engaja uma política irredutível ou ética de leitura que recusa reduzir o texto intercultural de Bishop a seus discursos solipsistas, pelos quais até mesmo atos aparentemente democráticos convergem dissimuladamente com dinâmicas totalitárias

MMPI-2 profiles of Lakehead University students / Elizabeth M.R.M. Lettner.
No full textUntil most recently university students were considered to
score significantly higher on the MMPI clinical and validity
scales, in terms of their mean profiles, than the original
normative non-psychiatric sample. According to the only study
by Butcher, Graham, Dahlstrom and Bowman (1990) on this
subject, this does not seem to be the case on the MMPI-2.
The present research was a study of the same type as the
Butcher, Graham, et al. (1990) study but with a Canadian
sample of university students, at Lakehead University in
Thunder Bay. The results obtained from the present study
showed significant elevations in terms of the mean profiles
for both male and female students on several of the validity
and clinical scales of the MMPI-2 in comparison to the
normative sample. The obtained differences may reflect the
younger age, as well as the socio-economic differences of the
Lakehead University sample compared to the MMPI-2 normative
group. Results also revealed that the L.U. student sample
responded, as a group, in a manner similar to the Butcher,
Graham, et al. (1990) university student sample. Similar mean
scores were obtained with only very few significant
differences. The group profiles were also compared between
these two student samples and displayed a considerable degree
of similarity. It is unclear whether the apparent contradictions between the results of the present study and
the Butcher, Graham, et al. (1990) study reflect real
differences of statistical and clinical significance, or
whether they are the result of too small samples, or the
different statistical methods and criteria. However, if these
results reflect real differences and not statistical errors,
this would suggest that, contrary to the Butcher, Graham, et
al. (1990) conclusion, the MMPI-2 norms might not be
appropriate for use with college students
The DSM diagnostic criteria for Female Sexual Arousal Disorder
No full textThis article reviews and critiques the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD). An overview of how the diagnostic criteria for FSAD have evolved over previous editions of the DSM is presented and research on prevalence and etiology of FSAD is briefly reviewed. Problems with the essential feature of the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis — “an inability to attain, or to maintain…an adequate lubrication-swelling response of sexual excitement” — are identified. The significant overlap between “arousal” and “desire” disorders is highlighted. Finally, specific recommendations for revision of the criteria for DSM-V are made, including use of a polythetic approach to the diagnosis and the addition of duration and severity criteria
