Volunteers from Gardner-Webb Serve on Medical Mission Team to Dominican Republic
No full textTwo members of the Gardner-Webb University community recently returned from a medical mission trip to Barahona in the Dominican Republic. Dr. Sydney Brown, dean of the Gail Bolt Price School of Graduate Studies and professor of education, and Brook Wright, a second-year student in the Master of Science in Nursing-Family Nurse Practitioner program, traveled with Dream Ministries, an organization that has been working in the Dominican for over 20 years. Through the years, multiple GWU nursing faculty and students have been a part of this mission experience.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/1116/thumbnail.jp

Leaf growth of hybrid poplar following exposure to elevated CO2
No full textLeaf extension was stimulated following exposure of three interamerican hybrid poplar clones (Populus trichocarpa P. deltoides); 'Unal', 'Boelare', and 'Beaupre' and a euramerican clone 'Primo' (Populus nigra×P. deltoides) to elevated CO2, in controlled environment chambers. For all three interamerican clones the evidence suggests that this was the result of increased leaf cell expansion associated with enhanced cell wall extensibility (WEx), measured as tensiomerric increases in cell wall plasticity. For the interameriean clone 'Boelare', there was also a significant increase in cell wall elasticity following exposure to elevated CO2 (P 0.001). The effect of elevated CO2 in stimulating cell wall extensibility was confirmed in a detailed spatial analysis of extensibility made across the lamina of expanding leaves of the clone 'Boelare'. For two of the interamerican hybrids, 'Unal' and 'Beaupre', both leaf cell water potential ? and turgor pressure (P) were lower in elevated than in ambient CO2. By contrast, no significant effects on the cell wall properties or leaf water relations for the euramerican hybrid 'Primo' were observed following exposure to elevated CO2. suggesting that the mechanism for increased leaf extension in elevated CO2, differed, depending on clone. The cumulative total length of leaves of 'Boelare' grown in elevated CO2, was significantly increased (P? 0.05) and since leaf number was not significantly increased in any inter-american clone it is hypothesized that final leaf size was stimulated in elevated CO2 for these clones. By contrast, there was no significant effect of CO2 on cumulative total leaf length for the euramerican clone 'Primo', but leaf number was significantly increased by elevated CO2. The measurements suggest that total tree leaf area was stimulated for a range of poplar hybrids exposed to elevated CO2. Given the short rotation of a coppiced crop, it is likely that increased leaf areas will result in enhanced stemwood production when hybrid poplars are grown in the CO, concentrations predicted for the next century
GWU International Students Visit Local School for Fourth Annual Cultural Awareness Day
No full textLocal school children learned some inside information about several faraway countries from Gardner-Webb University International Programs representatives during Cultural Awareness Day, held April 17 at Fallston Elementary School in Fallston, N.C. The daylong event—coordinated in part by GWU Assistant Director of International Programs Gail Peace—featured presentations by university international students Steve Jones of Great Britain, Ronia Hutterli of Switzerland, and Christal Ransome of Trinidad and Tobago. Chloe Boucquemont of France, a one-year teaching assistant in the Department of World Languages, also represented the University. Students in kindergarten through fourth grade took part in the event, which was coordinated by Rebecca Lane, the English as a Second Language Coordinator for Fallston, Casar, and Burns Middle schools.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/2174/thumbnail.jp
Gail Borden
No full textGail Borden (1801-1874) was a surveyor and inventor, and also a Western settler, school teacher, customs inspector, land dealer, and politician. He helped compile the first topographic map of Texas, which was completed in 1835. He is credited with attempting to create an amphibious vehicle that he called the terraqueous machine in 1848. He developed a condensed-beef-broth-and-flour concoction that he called a meat biscuit. In what proved later to be his most successful venture, he created a commercially viable method for producing condensed milk that was consistently pure and long-lasting
Gail Buckley: Black America at War: From George Washington to George Bush
No full textGail Buckley is a best-selling author and historian.
Her first book, The Hornes: An American Family, is an inspired history of Buckley’s mother, musical legend Lena Horne, and her family. Buckley traces the Hornes’ roots from the post-Civil War Reconstruction era up to the present day, writing with great insight about a family with ties to every major event in the United States during the past 150 years.
Buckley is a chronicler of “undiscovered American history – the people and events that are left out of the textbooks.” Buckley’s new book, The Black Calhouns (released February 2016), follows her family history from the Civil War to Civil Rights, starting with her great-great grandfather Moses Calhoun, a slave-turned-businessman
