Foreword to The Organic Grower
No full textAudrey Windram is a living treasure of Australian organics. She has been ‘fighting the good fight’ to advance the cause of organics for the best part of half a century. When it comes to organics, Audrey leads by example. She has been living the organic life, variously as an organics pioneer, producer, evangelist, educator and author, all the while ‘practising what she preaches’ and preaching in the most gentle of ways. It is a delight to commend Audrey Windram’s latest book The Organic Grower on the fortieth anniversary of the publication of her first organics book. Organic Gardening originally appeared in 1975 as a Rigby Instant Book. It was a mass-market book distributed throughout Australia. The organics enterprise must continue to draw strength from the validity of its foundational premises and continue the fight which Lord Northbourne warned in 1940 may be a fight lasting “for many decades, perhaps for centuries”. In The Organic Grower Audrey Windram brings together four publications, Organic Gardening, the two volumes of Meet the Organic Farmer, together with Ways of Being Organic. Enjoy it
Audrey and Bill a romantic biography of Audrey Hepburn & William Holden
No full text"Here for the first time is the complete, captivating story of an on-set romance that turned into a lifelong love story between silver screen legends Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. In 1954, Hepburn and Holden were America's sweethearts. Both won Oscars that year and together they filmed Sabrina, a now-iconic film that continues to inspire the worlds of film and fashion. Audrey & Bill tells the stories of both stars, from before they met to their electrifying first encounter when they began making Sabrina. The love affair that sparked on-set was relatively short-lived, but was a turning point in the lives of both stars. Audrey & Bill follows both Hepburn and Holden as their lives crisscrossed through to the end, providing an inside look at the Hollywood of the 1950s, '60s, and beyond. Through in-depth research and interviews with former friends, co-stars, and studio workers, Audrey & Bill author Edward Z. Epstein sheds new light on the stars and the fascinating times in which they lived"-

Expectations for the Advising Process
No full textABSTRACT
BOWMAN, KERITH M. Expectations of the Advising Process. (Under the direction of Audrey Jaeger.)
In today’s difficult economic times, it behooves every program to be prepared to defend its worth. In the higher education arena, evidence of the attainment of our goals for student learning and development are best attained through the assessment of learning and development. Advising is a useful learning, development and retention tool that many in higher education recognize as useful for the undergraduate student population. Much has been written about successful advising and satisfaction with advising services, but how does an adviser address student’s learning and development for the funding and worth of the advising program? Beginning the discussion about establishing a standardized set of outcomes for advising is the goal of this research, to see what each of the constituents expects from the process of advising. Once expectations are established, the discussion about deliberately focused and articulated outcomes can occur, leading the way for assessment of these to be undertaken.
The findings indicate that expectations do not differ that much between students, advisers and administrators. Relationships, information and clarity in roles are core expectations for the different constituents, each player’s understanding of the process is influenced by past experiences and relationships, and awareness of development and learning style affects expectations about the process

Regulation of proNGF processing and its effects on p75NTR-mediated cell death following seizure
No full textNerve growth factor (NGF) has been known to play critical roles in neuronal survival and differentiation during development. Recent studies have
discovered that its immature form, proNGF, is a ligand for the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR). proNGF binding to p75NTR activates apoptotic signaling, and
this binding occurs with a five-fold higher affinity than that of mature NGF (Lee et al., 2001). This binding preference, along with the increased prevalence of
proNGF after injury (Harrington et al., 2004), creates a cellular environment susceptible to cell death; thus, the balance between levels of pro- and mature NGF may be a key factor in determining whether a neuron lives or dies (Lee et al., 2001; Volosin et al., 2006). Using both in vitro and in vivo methods, this thesis examined the mechanisms that regulate the extracellular processing of proNGF and the consequences of that processing on p75NTR-mediated cell death following injury. The results discussed here demonstrate that 1) proNGF binding leads to cell death via the p75NTR signaling pathway; 2) after injury, proNGF is upregulated and preferentially secreted in a functional manner capable of
activating the p75NTR-mediated apoptotic pathway; 3) the enzymes plasmin and MMP7 extracellularly cleave proNGF, 4) after injury, plasmin activation and
MMP7 activity are reduced, leading to increased proNGF-induced apoptosis, and 5) restoring plasmin or MMP7 activity following brain injury reduces proNGF
levels and consequently, p75NTR-mediated apoptosis. Overall, these data suggest that increased cell death following injury may be mediated in part by a
change in the balance between extracellular proNGF and the activity of its processing enzymes, leading to increased cell death via p75NTR.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Audrey P. L

A Case Study of Undergraduate Women in a Leadership Development Program at a Coeducational Institution
No full textABSTRACT
HAIGHT, LORI POVEROMO. A Case Study of Undergraduate Women in a Leadership Development Program at a Coeducational Institution (Under the direction of Audrey Jaeger, Ph.D. and Tuere Bowles, Ph.D.).
The purpose of this interpretive case study was to explore the collegiate experiences of undergraduate women participating in a cohort women’s only leadership development program at a coeducational institution. Using a framework based on Kurt Lewin’s psycho-social model of behavior being the function of a person interacting with the environment (b=f(pxe)), the following research questions were asked: 1) What are the collegiate experiences of undergraduate women at a coeducational institution? 2) How are undergraduate women in a coeducational institution shaped by their environment? and 3) What are the behavioral outcomes of undergraduate women participating in a leadership program at a coeducational institution? The Baldwin Scholar Program at Duke University was chosen as the case to depict single-sex leadership development within a coeducational institution. Data in the form of in-depth, semi-structured interviews, observations, and documents were collected and analyzed using the constant comparative method. Nineteen Baldwin Scholars participated in the study, representing a range of demographics including race, academic areas and co-curricular interests. The women’s undergraduate experience included self-discovery, academic enrichment and building community within both the Duke University and Baldwin Scholars Program environment. The undergraduate experience of the women in this study were impacted by their Baldwin community and the relationships this community afforded them. This cohort single sex model created a community that offered a level of support to its participants, and this support in turn offered them the resources to deal with the challenges of their undergraduate experience. In a competitive coeducational environment, a single sex leadership development program offers women undergraduates the level of support necessary to meet institutional challenges. The Baldwin Scholars program is an example of a leadership development program created for a specific segment of the population. This study shows how single-sex environments at coeducational institutions can enhance the collegiate experience of women undergraduates. More research is needed to continue to explore how this type of environment impacts women undergraduate students
