Effects of direct-fed Bacillus pumilus 8G-134 (NRRL B-50174) on ruminal and fecal microbial populations of pre- and postpartum Holstein cows
No full textDirect-fed microbials (DFM) are used as feed supplements in agricultural industry to enhance animal health and performance. The effects of Bacillus pumilus 8G-134 (NRRL B-50174) as a feed supplement were investigated through 16S rRNA gene-based inferences about community structure changes, exploration of the intra-Genus taxonomic variance using oligotyping, as well as RNA-seq conducted on rumen and fecal microbial contents from lactating dairy cattle. These techniques aided in detecting changes in gastrointestinal tract microbial community populations. Phylogenetic 16S analysis identified the microbes present and bioinformatic techniques, i.e. Qiime and Oligotyping software, further elucidated the community structures. In order to further investigate the germination of B. pumilus spores in the rumen, a transcriptomic approach was employed. Oligotyping analysis revealed that certain Bacillus oligotypes were detected exclusively in DFM samples. These DFM oligotypes could be further differentiated between rumen fluid (RF) and fecal sample types. It remains unclear whether or not the spores germinated in the rumen, but the effects on the fecal microbiota are clear. The major finding in this work is a modulation of the Bacteroidetes in the fecal samples of the DFM fed cows. Previous reports have shown that an increased Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio leads to increased energy harvest and an obese phenotype. In lactating dairy cows, the increased energy harvest from the colonic bacteria likely promotes enhanced milk production.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2017-05-01The student, Sara Westergaard, accepted the attached license on 2015-05-01 at 13:30.The student, Sara Westergaard, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2015-05-01 at 13:42.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2015-05-05 at 08:53.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #8231 on 2015-07-22 at 14:26:39Made available in DSpace on 2015-07-22T22:46:10Z (GMT).

Sara Gossett Crigler Collection - Accession 614
No full textThe Sara Gossett Crigler Collection consists of a microfiche copy of her book titled, Education For Girls And Women In Upper South Carolina Prior to 1890 with Related Miscellaneous Articles: A Compilation by Mrs. Henry Towles Crigler (Sara Gossett Crigler), self-published in Greenville, SC on April 15, 1956. This book also includes many anecdotes and reminiscences of Sara’ family including a section devoted to the slaves owned and later freed after the Civil War by her family. The book is dedicated by the author, Sara Gossett Crigler (1886-1966), to her mother Sallie Brown Gossett (1859-1942) and her aunt Mary Brown Mahon (1861-1948) who were both graduates of Williamston Female College in 1877 and 1879 respectively. The 170 page volume would be useful to anyone doing research on the education of women in South Carolina during the 19th century. The original copy is housed at the South Carolina Historical Society as SCHS 509 and was dedicated and signed by the author, “For the Charleston Library Society” on July 10, 1964.

Materia-autore = Author-Matter
No full textThe etymology of the word author refers to an act of creation, an act of augmentation, from the Latin verb augere. Author instantiates creation, the expansion of the pre-existing. In 1967 Roland Barthes declared the death of the author in his famous essay to state once more that the crisis is that of the author as a single subjectivity and as a term that condenses prestige, undermined by the de-subjectivation strategies of automatism, fortuity and fragmentation of the historical avant-gardes, as well as by the machinic act and by the reproducibility of the second avant-gardes.
Fifty years after Barthes’ paradigmatic formula, this lack of authorship appears to be a successful brand. The ten- sions between the anomie of matter, the law that establishes authorship and the economy that makes the work pos- sible, invoke discordant perspectives. Artists make the self-destruction of their work the real work, and appeal is made for the demolition of architectures, whether by a recognised author or not, in order to re-design, or better still, re-claim the territory. Artificial intelligence consolidates its logics and its design by progressively shedding human ingenuity. The space of criticism becomes, finally, increasingly ephemeral. However, there is an acceptation of criti- cism that is, rather than an individual ‘signature’, an exploration and explanation of how design makes theory.
The binomial author-matter seeks to mark these tensions and contradictions: the featured term author is main- tained to underline the persistence of that prestigious subjectivity, at the very moment when the rhetoric of “mat- ter as an author” promises other forms of authorship
Sara Winthrop Smith letter to Frances Casement, August 14, 1887
No full textLetter written to Frances Casement from Sara Winthrop Smith of Cincinnati, Ohio, August 14, 1887. Winthrop expresses the challenges of generating support for the suffrage movement among the conservative residents of her city, and encourages the creation of clear materials that make the argument for women's suffrage to be more widely distributed.
This item comes from the Frances Jennings Casement Papers, a manuscript collection comprised of letters and association records related to the founding and leadership of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association. Casement (1840-1928) was born in Painesville, Ohio, and graduated from Painesville Academy and Willoughby Female Seminary. Her father, Charles Casement, supported abolition and women's suffrage and encouraged Frances to be active in social causes. Frances Casement established the Painesville Equal Rights Association in 1883, and shortly after became involved in the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association, serving as its president from 1885 to 1888
