Paul Stagg (March 18, 1909 – September 4, 1992) was an American football player, coach, and college athletics administrator. He served as the head football coach at Moravian College (1934–1936), Springfield College (1937–1940), Worcester Polytechnic Institute (1941–1946), and Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon (1946–1960), compiling a career college football record of 94–99–12. Stagg played football as a quarterback at the University of Chicago, where his father, Amos Alonzo Stagg, was the head coach. He was an assistant coach under his father at Chicago in the fall of 1932 before graduating in December with a Bachelor of Science, majoring in geography. He followed the elder Stagg in 1933 to the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, where he served as an assistant coach for a season before taking the head coaching job at Moravian. Paul Stagg returned to the University of the Pacific in 1961 as director of physical education and intercollegiate athletics, a capacity in which he served until 1967. Walter C. Giersbach B.D., Ph.D., D.D, LL.D. served as the ninth President of Pacific University from 1941-1953. In 1953, the Board of Trustees called for his resignation and fired him, shocking Giersbach, who considered himself a successful president. That same year, he was appointed to the Oregon State Senate. History reveals Giersbach as one of Pacific’s most successful presidents: the campus flourished under his presidency and he significantly raised the University’s profile.Printed on back: (on back): Famed Football Patriach Honored by Pacific University; Amos alonzo Stagg, Univ. of Chicago coach for 41 years, was honored last week (May 5) at University Club, Portland, Ore., by trustees of Pacific University, Forest Grove, where Paul Stagg coaches and heads physical education.

Amos Alonza Stagg in wood
No full textI should like to make an attempt to get at that spiritual essence possessed by Mr. Stagg. We all have our own particular qualities in this respect, but Mr. Stagg is truly one of our great men today, and to discover what lies behind his greatness is to make the problem of registering his strength that much clearer.
Mr. Stagg stands for something conceded to be great force in American athletics. His code of living, playing, and fighting, and his lifetime spent in guiding young men according to his standards for these activities, have stamped him as a veritable monument in the eyes of our youth. There is strength in the name Stagg, strength in the man, and in the eyes that watch so keenly as boys continue to pass under his tutelage. This strength is moral, a kind of pillar lacking in the structure of many so-called successful men who grew into power during Mr. Stagg\u27s years. He has never compromised his position when opportunities for doing so were plentiful. I should like to make one further point. This is in relation to the material. The medium used is Jarrah wood. It is hard enough to suggest strength, red enough to imply warmth, and yet soft enough to be in sympathy with the generosity of the man portrayed. Stone is cold. It would be more suitable to a portraiture of a Rockefeller, certainly not a Stagg. Wood is a material that comes from a growing life-form, rooted in the ground. It takes its strength gradually as the years roll by. What better choice of medium could be made?
At this point the reader may or may not agree with me when I say that the diverse pattern of mental gymnastics undergone by the artist demands more understanding than the observer of his work can fathom. Aside from the psychological and philosophical relationships there are the technical aspects of the creative effort. These latter consideration will be found in the text of the paper. Mr. Amos Alonzo Stagg was the model chosen for the sculpture. The choice was prompted by Dr. Tully C. Knoes who was to have been the subject for the study. Dr Knoles preferred that his close friend and fellow worker, Mr. Stagg, be selected. At this point it became necessary to develop the preliminary sketches for the purpose of deciding upon a composition suitable to the dimensions of the wood

CASP, a novel, highly conserved alternative-splicing product of the CDP/cut/cux gene, lacks cut-repeat and homeo DNA-binding domains, and interacts with full-length CDP in vitro.
No full textHuman CDP/cut and its murine counterpart, cux1/CDP are homeodomain repressor proteins in the family of Drosophila Cut. Northern blot analysis reveals complex alternative splicing, including forms too small to encode the full 1505 amino acid protein. We have characterized a CDP/cut alternatively spliced cDNA (CASP) of 3.4 kb. Human CASP, a predicted 678 amino acid polypeptide, shares 400 amino acids with CDP, but has an alternate N terminal exon of 20 aa, and the C-terminal 258 amino acids diverge from CDP/cut entirely. As the unique C-terminus of CASP lacks the three ‘cut-repeats’ and homeodomain of CDP/cut, we predict it does not bind DNA. Murine CASP, 96% similar to human, shares these features. Database searches identify homologs in chicken (86% identical to human CASP) and yeast (29% identical to human). Murine CASP mRNA is ubiquitous in mouse tissues and in tissue-culture cell lines. We generated a specific antiserum against the unique C-terminus of CASP, and used this reagent to demonstrate that CASP protein is expressed as an approx. 80 kDa protein in human and murine cells. Co-translation of in vitro-translated CDP and CASP mRNA, followed by immunoprecipitation with specific anti-CASP IgG, shows that CASP polypeptide can form a complex with CDP. Studies of the intron/exon structure of the murine cux/CDP/mCASP locus (&100 kb) reveal that the unique 3∞ exons of CASP are interposed between cut-repeats 2 and 3 of the cux gene. We speculate that a primordial CASP-like gene captured a cut-repeat-homeobox gene to give rise to the eukaryotic Cut/CDP family of proteins. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.
