Letter from Seth Low
No full textWhittier House scrapbooks document Whittier House programs, events, and anniversary celebrations through newspaper clippings, lecture fliers, newsletters, event programs, and ticket stubs. Newspaper clippings are primarily from the Jersey Journal. There is also Whittier House fundraising materials, including pamphlets, appeal letters, brochures, and postcards. The Whittier House Social Settlement, the first settlement house in New Jersey, was established in Jersey City, N.J. (Hudson County) in 1894. Founded by Cornelia Foster Bradford, who would remain with the organization as headworker until 1926, Whittier House was based on the settlement house, Toynbee Hall, in England. Whittier House provided various recreational and educational programs, along with much needed social services, for the immigrant populations of Jersey City. Many of these successful services were used as models for large-scale social reform movements through the state. In 1935, the Whittier House was taken over by the Boys' Club of Jersey City

Restoration management plan for the UFV campus forest
No full textThe Coastal Western Hemlock zone only comprises 0.2% of the world's global forests. Restoration could improve UFV students' health and well-being. There is evidence to suggest low eco system function within the campus forest.This poster won the Provost and Vice-President Academic Award (2020). Advisor: Dr. Sharon Gillies, Department of Biology
Moving the Statute of Frauds to the Digital Age
No full textMost common law jurisdictions have adopted the provisions of the Statute of Frauds in some form which generally requires contracts for the sale of land to be in writing and signed by the party to be charged. Although the applicable principles are relatively settled the increasing use of electronic methods in contract formation will necessitate a revisiting of these principles and their application to an electronic medium. The two primary questions in this regard are:\ud
• Whether an electronic document can be considered "in writing" for the purposes of the Statute of Frauds\ud
• Can an electronic signature affixed to an electronic contract serve the same functions as a manuscript signature for the purposes of the Statute of Fraud

Understanding the role of parochial control in a disadvantaged Brooklyn community
No full textBrownsville, Brooklyn continues to experience higher rates of single parent headed households, youth poverty, low educational attainment and high unemployment. The aim of this research is to explore the role and influence of parochial control on youth involved in a community organization in the disadvantaged neighborhood of Brownsville. According to Hunter (1985) parochial control is based on the interpersonal networks that serve the community including churches, schools, YMCAs, and athletic leagues and local institutions. This study extends parochial control research by investigating how it operates in a disadvantaged community. More specifically, how it influences youth to conform and how it operates in comparison to private and public forms of social control. In depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with young men and women at a community organization in Brownsville, Brooklyn. For these individuals, parochial control was experienced through various activities at this institution. The staff members worked with other parochial institutions and political organizations to recruit young men and women who were at risk for anti-social behavior. The study concluded that attachments to this community organization made it possible for respondents to overcome the difficulties they experienced living in a disadvantaged community. Results also showed that compared to private and public controls, more respondents reported that parochial control encouraged them to conform. This dissertation concludes with directions for future research.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Christine Sharon Barro

Use of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for the Diagnosis of Failure of Transfer of Passive Immunity and Measurement of Immunoglobulin Concentrations in Horses
No full textBackground: The economic, accurate, and rapid screening of foals for failure of transfer of passive immunity (FPT) is essential to ensure timely intervention. Hypothesis: Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of foal sera and pattern recognition may be used to diagnose FPT and quantify serum IgG. Samples: Sera from 194 foals (24–72 hours) with serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations determined previously by radial immunodiffusion assay (RID) were used. Methods: IR spectra were recorded for the serum samples, and the data were randomly divided into training and independent test sets, each containing both FPT-positive (IgG <400 mg/dL) and non-FPT samples. A genetic optimal region selection algorithm and linear discriminant analysis were used to partition the training spectra, and the resulting classifier was then validated by comparing the IR-predicted FPT status for each of the test samples to that provided by the RID IgG assay. A quantitative IR-based assay for IgG was developed using partial least squares (PLS) and validated by testing its ability to predict IgG concentrations. Results: Specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy for the combined data were 92.5, 96.8, and 95.9%, respectively. Corresponding positive (88.1%) and negative predictive (98.0%) values determined a success rate of 95–97% as compared to RID-based IgG concentrations. The IR-based quantitative assay yielded correlation coefficients for IR spectroscopy versus RID-based IgG concentrations of 0.90 and 0.86 for the training and test sets, respectively. Conclusions and Clinical Importance: The overall performance of the IR-based test was similar to that of the colorimetric assay and was superior and more economic than other available tests.Christopher B.
