Michael David Loftus and Lydon Burgin
No full textThis 1967 photograph taken by photographer Juanita Wilson shows Michael David Loftus and Lydon Burgin of South Toe River School performing in the Mountain Youth Jamboree. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University

Investigating digital mapping to facilitate reuse in the Norwegian building stock.
No full textThe construction industry faces a global challenge to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The majority of the buildings for the future are already constructed, and therefore, it is crucial to implement transformation more extensively than before. A successful transformation project requires precision and clarity in the mapping phase of materials, which is carried out to a very limited extent today. There are too few incentives for the reuse of materials in Norway's construction industry. In addition to emission challenges, the construction industry is far behind other industries regarding digital development. Therefore, this thesis will investigate methods used and technology developed within the early-phase stages of construction projects.
The purpose of the thesis is to combine challenges related to reuse and digitalisation to propose methods for facilitating reuse decisions more effectively. The thesis aims to understand the current mapping phase and how it interacts with new technologies. Building upon the new Norwegian regulation, \say{From July 1st, 2023, it became mandatory to perform a reuse mapping of building components that are to be removed}, the thesis will investigate how to perform this mapping in the best possible way. The thesis explores standardisation, regulations, digitalisation, and circular economy to overview the industry's present and future opportunities comprehensively
Web Site Usability. Research essay
No full textWeb-based Information Systems and associated technologies are becoming increasingly important to companies operating in the Retail industry. An area of specific concern is the usability of websites from customers’ perspectives. In the literature, web usability is highlighted as a key factor likely to affect consumer web search and subsequent buying behaviour. In fact it has been claimed that usability is a prerequisite for website success. In light of the importance of human interface design factors to the success of websites, you are required to write a research essay to investigate web usability.

The simultaneous electrodeposition of lead and lead dioxide
No full textThe simultaneous electrodeposition of both Pb and PbO2 from Pb(NO3)2 solutions onto a Ni substrate has been investigated with particular reference to the influence of different organic addition agents on the nature of the Pb and PbO2 deposit, the porosity of the Pb deposit and the current efficiency for deposition.
Plating solutions for Pb based on Pb(NO3)2 that operate at room temperature and up to 50°C have been developed which produce Pb deposits with properties almost equivalent to those from conventional Pb(BF4)2 plating solutions. The effect of certain additives in modifying the adhesion and grain size of PbO2 deposits has also been reported.
Pb and PbO2 deposits prepared by electrodeposition from Pb(NO3)2 solutions containing selected organic addition agents were evaluated for use as the active materials in the Pb/HBF4/PbO2 primary battery. Tests have confirmed that the Pb and PbO2 deposits produced by simultaneous electrodeposition from a Pb(NO3)2 solution containing selected addition agents were not as effective in terms of discharge properties, when compared to the PbO2 and Pb deposited separately from conventional plating solutions. However, Pb and PbO2 deposited simultaneously, satisfied the requirements of the active material used in the Pb/HBF4/PbO2 battery.
The continuing problem of the varying degrees of adhesion of electrodeposited PbO2 onto etched Ni foils with no significant variation in composition was investigated. The adhesion of PbO2 to etched N1200 foil was found to be good, whilst that to N1270 was proved to be poor. Certain physical and electrochemical properties of foils that exhibited both 'good' and 'bad' adhesion of PbO2 were investigated, in order to ascertain the cause of the adhesion problem.
A number of possible reasons for the poor adhesion of PbO2 to certain batches of Ni foil have been examined and a probable explanation for the adhesion failures has been proposed

The Azerbaijan Connections and Exchange Program : did Spring 2005 participation affect students\u27 worldviews?
No full textThis paper offers an outcomes-based assessment of Azerbaijani and U.S. student worldview shifts following their semester-long participation in the U.S. State Department\u27s Azerbaijan Connections and Exchange (ACE) online dialogue facilitated by Project Harmony. The author presents a thorough overview of historical and contemporary connectivity initiatives in addition to the program\u27s descriptive analysis. The author uses pre- and post- online student surveys coupled with personal teacher interviews to detect participating students\u27 worldview shifts by asking What effects has ACE had on participating students\u27 worldviews? Following the survey data gathering, the author assigns the student groups a position along a worldview continuum. Using four benchmarks as indicators, this study ultimately concludes that the program had little impact on the students as measured by factual understanding of their counterparts\u27 country, willingness to travel to their counterpart\u27s country, recognition of cultural similarities, and security perception. Recommendations for further research and effective classroom connectivity projects are also provided. This study may be used by education advocates, information and communication technology (ICT) professionals and official regulators to defend the need for intercultural classroom technology use supported by adequate funding
Physiological levels of Pik3ca(H1047R) mutation in the mouse mammary gland results in ductal hyperplasia and formation of ER-alpha-positive tumors
No full textPIK3CA, the gene coding for the p110α subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, is frequently mutated in a variety of human tumors including breast cancers. To better understand the role of mutant PIK3CA in the initiation and/or progression of breast cancer, we have generated mice with a conditional knock-in of the common activating mutation, Pik3ca(H1047R), into one allele of the endogenous gene in the mammary gland. These mice developed a ductal anaplasia and hyperplasia by 6 weeks of age characterized by multi-layering of the epithelial lining of the mammary ducts and expansion of the luminal progenitor (Lin(-); CD29(lo); CD24(+); CD61(+)) cell population. The Pik3ca(H1047R) expressing mice eventually develop mammary tumors with 100% penetrance but with a long latency (>12 months). This is significantly longer than has been reported for transgenic models where expression of the mutant Pik3ca is driven by an exogenous promoter. Histological analysis of the tumors formed revealed predominantly ERα-positive fibroadenomas, carcinosarcomas and sarcomas. In vitro induction of Pik3ca(H1047R) in immortalized mammary epithelial cells also resulted in tumor formation when injected into the mammary fat pad of immunodeficient recipient mice. This novel model, which reproduces the scenario of a heterozygous somatic mutation occurring in the endogenous PIK3CA gene, will thus be a valuable tool for investigating the role of Pik3ca(H1047R) mutation in mammary tumorigenesis both in vivo and in vitro
