Interview with Kathryn Peek

An oral history interview with Kathryn Elaine Hickman Peek about her career as a biomedical administrator and educator at many institutions in the Texas Medical Center. Kathryn Elaine Peek, Ph.D. completed her bachelor’s degree in English and embarked on a first career as a public school teacher. She obtained master’s degrees in biology and behavioral sciences at the University of Houston and UH Clear Lake during two stays in the Houston area. She entered the University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at what is now the McGovern Medical School at the age of 39. She graduated with a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences at the age of 44 and embarked on a career that took her from laboratory studies of brain and spinal cord ischemia to the pursuit of information about the biological differences between men and women. Along the way, she mentored many young people pursuing healthcare and science careers and supported numerous women seeking career advancement in STEM professions. Her career was sometimes at the mercies of institutional politics. She retired from the University of Houston in 2013, but as she continues to work as a consultant in the Texas Medical Center, she can look back on raising awareness of women’s health issues as well as boosting the presence of women in leadership positions in the Texas Medical Center

BOOK REVIEW OF KATHRYN STOCKETT’STHE HELP

Project ini menganalisis tentang novel karya Kathryn Stockett yang berjudul The Help. Novel tersebut berisi tentang rasisme dan penjajahan secara tidak langsung oleh orang kulit putih. Di dalam The Help terdapat 3 tokoh yang menjadi pemeran utama yaitu Eugenia Phelan, Aibeleen Clark dan Minny Jackson. Pengarang menggambarkan setting tempat di Jackson, Mississipi, pada tahun 1960-an. Tujuan penulisan project ini untuk menjelaskan kelebihan dan kekurangan novel The Help. Untuk mendukung penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan unsur intrinsik novel. Kekuatan pada novel The Help terdapat pada tema, setting dan karakter, sedangkan kelemahannya pada bahasa dan alur cerita atau plot. Penulis mengumpulkan semua sumber data dengan buku-buku yang tersedia di perpustakaan maupun diakses melalui internet. Penulis menganjurkan untuk membaca novel tersebut, karena dari isi cerita kita dapat belajar tentang moral kehidupan yaitu pengampunan, keberanian, dan ketulusan

Ultratrace determination of phosphorus in ultrapurified water by a slope comparison method

The analytical method for the determination of phosphorus in ultrapurified water was developed. Ultrapurified water was evaporated to concentrate phosphorus and the final sample volume for analysis was 10 ml. In 0.55 mol 1(-1) HCl, orthophosphate forms molybdophosphate, and then the molybdophosphate forms ion associate with Malachite Green (MG), which can be collected on a tiny membrane filter (diameter: 5 mm, and effective filtering diameter: 2 mm). After the ion associate on the membrane filter is dissolved together with the membrane filter in I ml of methyl cellosolve (MC), the absorbance of MC solution is measured at 627 nm by a flow injection-spectrophotometric detection technique. When 10 ml of the sample solution was used for the procedures and absorbance measurement, the calibration graph is linear up to about 500 ng 1(-1) of phosphorus and the detection limit was 8 ng 1(-1) (S/N = 3). For the determination of phosphorus in an ultrapurified water, 10-40 ml of sample solutions were transferred into poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) beaker and evaporated to 5 ml or to dryness. To them, 0.003 mol 1(-1) HCl was added to get 10 ml of final solution, which was used as sample. Phosphate is determined by comparing the slope of the varied sample volume after evaporation/concentration with a slope of the standard calibration graph (a slope comparison method: SCM). The SCM enables to evaluate the concentration of phosphate in ultrapurified waters more sensitively and accurately
