Oral history interview with Michelle Nguyen
No full textOral history interviews with Michelle Nguyen conducted virtually on November 4, 2021, and November 14, 2021.About the Sacramento Covid-19 Asian American Oral History Project:This project documents the experiences of the Asian Americans during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Sacramento region and beyond. Students in Asian American Communities, ETHN 113, identified and conducted oral histories with members of the Asian American community about their experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic. Topics include balancing work and employment during the pandemic, the rise in anti-Asian hate, the experiences of frontline workers, and how the social disruptions of the pandemic were connected to race and racialization. This community history project is overseen by Dr. William Gow
Oral History of Lien Nguyen
No full textAn oral history of Lien Nguyen, a Vietnamese immigrant living in Orange County, CA. She was born in 1938 in Quy Nhon, Vietnam. The interview documents her life experiences from childhood into adulthood. According to Nguyen she lived a simple life in the countryside. Despite the travesties of war she was able to raise a family and eventually immigrated to the United States in the early 2000s.

Condexenus : Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin 2006
No full textGenus Condexenus Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin, 2006 Condexenus: Nguyen DuyJacquemin 2006: 238–247, figs 1–25. Type species: Condexenus biramipalpus Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin, 2006. Diagnosis: Gnathochilarium with short median expansion, three trichobothria of equal size on head just median to ocelli, labral surface covered by numerous flat papillae with four to six posterior rows of smaller papillae, telotarsus without posterior lamellate process (Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin 2006). Remarks: In the description of Condexenus, Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin (2006) suggested that this genus has 11 tergites and 15 pairs of legs, as opposed to the 12 tergites and 17 pairs of legs in Phryssonotus. However, a recently described Phryssonotus species from Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, was found to have 11 tergites and 15 pairs of legs (Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin et al. 2011). The genus is currently only known from the type species.Published as part of Vohland, Katrin & Hamer, Michelle, 2013, A review of the millipedes (Diplopoda) of Namibia, with identification keys and descriptions of two new genera and five new species, pp. 251 in African Invertebrates 54 (1) on page 25
Appropriate vacuolar acidification in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is associated with efficient high sugar fermentation
No full textAvailable online 4 October 2017Vacuolar acidification serves as a homeostatic mechanism to regulate intracellular pH, ion and chemical balance, as well as trafficking and recycling of proteins and nutrients, critical for normal cellular function. This study reports on the importance of vacuole acidification during wine-like fermentation. Ninety-three mutants (homozygous deletions in lab yeast strain, BY4743), which result in protracted fermentation when grown in a chemically defined grape juice with 200 g L⁻¹ sugar (pH 3.5), were examined to determine whether fermentation protraction was in part due to a dysfunction in vacuolar acidification (VA) during the early stages of fermentation, and whether VA was responsive to the initial sugar concentration in the medium. Cells after 24 h growth were dual-labelled with propidium iodide and vacuolar specific probe 6-carboxyfluorescein diacetate (6-CFDA) and examined with a FACS analyser for viability and impaired VA, respectively. Twenty mutants showed a greater than two-fold increase in fluorescence intensity; the experimental indicator for vacuolar dysfunction; 10 of which have not been previously annotated to this process. With the exception of ∆hog1, ∆pbs2 and ∆vph1 mutants, where dysfunction was directly related to osmolality; the remainder exhibited increased CF-fluorescence, independent of sugar concentration at 20 g L⁻¹ or 200 g L⁻¹. These findings offer insight to the importance of VA to cell growth in high sugar media.Trung D. Nguyen, Michelle E. Walker, Jennifer M. Gardner, Vladimir Jirane

Suggestions for improvement in Vietnam employment laws in the context of gender equality
No full text5 p.Improving gender equality in the workplace is an urgent task for Vietnam Communist Party and the Government. Despite the ratification of international conventions on labour, women rights, as well as amendment to relevant domestic laws, it appears that the provisions have not satisfied the requirements set forth to combat discrimination at work against women. Through this article, the author intends to propose some ideas to improve the laws on the protection of the current female workers’ rights based on the 2012 Labour Code (amended and supplemented in 2019), related laws and sub–law documents
Growth, Reduction, and Survival of Bacteria on Melon Types
No full textFrom 1990 to 2000, over 700 cases of foodborne illness were associated with outbreaks due to melon consumption in the U.S. and Canada. Even with efforts to educate industry and consumers of safe produce-handling practices, in the last decade there were still over 1,100 documented illnesses associated with melon consumption. This 45-page fact sheet highlights the research that has been done to provide insight on possible sanitation methods and their efficacy in decontaminating melon types of foodborne pathogens as well as natural microflora. Written by Thao P. Nguyen, Michelle D. Danyluk, and Keith R. Schneider, and published by the UF Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, May 2012
