United States trade and global markets
No full textIn 1988 global economic competition became a 'political football' of the presidential election. Just when America's prosperity seemed to depend on expanding trade, it found itself in a world of cut-throat competition from new centers of economic power. George H. W. Bush, then Vice President to Ronald Reagan and the Republican nominee embraced the free trade policies of Reagan. Gov. Michael Dukakis blamed an increasing trade deficit on the unregulated spending spree on imported goods and encouraged investment at home. Bruce Smart, Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, and Daniel Sharp, International Affairs Advisor for Xerox join moderator Peter Krogh to examine both sides of the argument and to discuss the role of exchange rates, protectionism and domestic investment in international trade. Their assessments make one point clear: the days of America's global economic primacy may be overExamines America's fight for equality in foreign trade. Discusses the serious problem of the United States faltering as the major economic power in the world and what Americans can do about it

Orexin in the chicken hypothalamus: immunocytochemical localisation and comparison of mRNA concentrations during the day and night, and after chronic food restriction
No full textIn mammals Orexin-A and -B are neuropeptides involved in the hypothalamic regulation of diverse physiological functions including food intake and the sleep-wake cycle. This generalisation was investigated in meat-(broiler) and layer-type juvenile domestic chickens by immunocytochemical localisation of orexin A/B in the hypothalamus, and by measurements of hypothalamic hypocretin mRNA which encodes for orexin A/B after chronic food restriction, and during the sleep-wake cycle. Orexin immunoreactive fibres were observed throughout the hypothalamus with cell bodies in and around the paraventricular nucleus. No differences were observed in the pattern of immunoreactivity using anti- human orexin-A, or -B antisera. The amount of hypothalamic hypocretin mRNA in food -restricted broilers was higher than in broilers fed ad libitum, but the same as in layer- type hens fed ad libitum. Hypothalamic hypocretin mRNA was increased (P<0.01) in 12-week-old broilers fed 25% of their ad libitum intake between 6–12 weeks of age. No difference in hypothalamic hypocretin mRNA was seen in 12-week-old layer- type hens when they were awake (1–2 h after lights on) or sleeping (1–2 h after lights off). It is concluded that in the chicken, we could not find evidence that hypothalamic orexin plays a role in the sleep-wake cycle and it may be involved in aspects of energy balance

Notes on Peter Karpovich for admission to Springfield College, c. 1925
No full textThese are notes on Peter V. Karpovich that were created, mostly likely, as part of his admissions process to Springfield College, c. 1925. The author or writer of these pages is not identified. Nor is it identified as to how, whether in a meeting or an interview or just from reading information, these notes were created. The notes are written in abreviations and in short fragments. The notes basically outline facts about his life, including age, family, education history, medical practice, present living arrangements, experience with the Young Men's Christian Associaation (YMCA), and experience in teaching Physical Education. Finally they also talk about his arrival in the United States, his desires for work/education at Springfield College., and his prospects of returning to Russia after his degree.For more information on Peter V. Karpovich, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/57
