Globalization versus the state : false antinomy or logical fallacy? : a response to Clyde W. Barrow and Michelle Keck
No full textThis article provides a critical response to Clyde W. Barrow and Michelle Keck’s recently published essay in Studies in Political Economy 98-2. First, I find little empirical evidence for their claim that a “false antinomy” separates globalization theory and state theory in leading Global Studies (GS) literature. Quite to the contrary, GS scholars have appreciatively engaged with state theory and also offered criticisms, especially on account of the methodological nationalism underlying much of this literature. Second, this article disputes the way Barrow and Keck characterize my explanation of globalization as a deterministic and metaphysical teleology

Interview of author Michelle Martinez
No full textMichelle Martinez, author of the crime novel "Most wanted," talks about the issues faced by Latin Americans in their home country versus what they face in the United States. She describes her family and education, graduation form Harvard Law School, and her professional endeavors. Martinez discusses the story line of her book, what motivated her to write, and how she brought her experiences from the prosecutor's office to bear on her writing. She describes her writing as an opportunity to explore her own cultural heritage. Martinez discusses the art of writing and talks about what she reads. Martinez is interviewed by Diana Rivera at the 2005 Left Coast Crime Conference held in El Paso, Texas
Young Investigator: Michelle J Yoo
No full text Supervisor’s supporting comments I have always been impressed with Michelle’s ability to conduct research in an independent and yet highly effective manner. Part of her research in my group has examined the use of affinity columns to examine drug–protein binding with serum proteins, such as human serum albumin. This work is extremely important to the fields of pharmaceutical chemistry and clinical chemistry in providing the data needed for the development of new drugs or in the optimization of treatments for patients with new, or existing, drugs. Another topic that Michelle has examined in her research is the use of new supports based on monolithic materials and ultrafast-extraction methods for affinity-based separations of biological samples and high-throughput screening of drug–protein binding. She was the lead author on a review written on this topic and also has several research publications related to this area of work. During her graduate studies, Michelle has emerged as a real leader in my group. She has excellent people and communication skills and is highly motivated in her pursuit of an advanced degree in analytical chemistry and bioanalysis. I have extremely high expectations for her in the future as she continues her career.

Cooperative Extension Answers the Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding
No full textExtension has many opportunities to promote breastfeeding, one of the most highly effective preventive measures a mother can take to protect the health of her infant, and herself. This manuscript describes how and why Cooperative Extension can partner with federal and state efforts to promote breastfeeding. Rutgers Family and Community Health Sciences department members served on state workgroups to identify and implement evidence-based strategies to promote breastfeeding in the health care, childcare, and worksite settings. Extension is an important public health partner, providing technical assistance, content expertise, and resources that meet the needs of its community.Peer reviewe

Michelle Obama’s Impact on African American Women and Girls
Get PDFRachelle Brunn-Bevel is a contributing author (with Kristin Richardson), Let’s Move! with Michelle Obama.
Book description:
This edited collection explores how First Lady Michelle Obama gradually expanded and broadened her role by engaging in social, political and economic activities which directly and indirectly impacted the lives of the American people, especially young women and girls. The volume responds to the various representations of Michelle Obama and how the language and images used to depict her either affirmed, offended, represented or misrepresented her and its authors. It is an interdisciplinary evaluation by African American women and girls of the First Lady’s overall impact through several media, including original artwork and poetry. It also examines her political activities during and post-election 2016.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/sociologyandanthropology-books/1065/thumbnail.jp

The TESS-Keck Survey: Science Goals and Target Selection
Get PDFThe Kepler and TESS missions have demonstrated that planets are ubiquitous. However, the success of these missions heavily depends on ground-based radial velocity (RV) surveys, which combined with transit photometry can yield bulk densities and orbital properties. While most Kepler host stars are too faint for detailed follow-up observations, TESS is detecting planets orbiting nearby bright stars that are more amenable to RV characterization. Here, we introduce the TESS-Keck Survey (TKS), an RV program using ∼100 nights on Keck/HIRES to study exoplanets identified by TESS. The primary survey aims are investigating the link between stellar properties and the compositions of small planets; studying how the diversity of system architectures depends on dynamical configurations or planet multiplicity; identifying prime candidates for atmospheric studies with JWST; and understanding the role of stellar evolution in shaping planetary systems. We present a fully automated target selection algorithm, which yielded 103 planets in 86 systems for the final TKS sample. Most TKS hosts are inactive, solar-like, main-sequence stars (4500 K ≤ Teff <6000 K) at a wide range of metallicities. The selected TKS sample contains 71 small planets (Rp ≤ 4 R⊕), 11 systems with multiple transiting candidates, six sub-day-period planets and three planets that are in or near the habitable zone (Sinc ≤ 10 S⊕) of their host star. The target selection described here will facilitate the comparison of measured planet masses, densities, and eccentricities to predictions from planet population models. Our target selection software is publicly available and can be adapted for any survey that requires a balance of multiple science interests within a given telescope allocation
