    [Excerpt] Maurice F. Neufeld was a respected scholar, beloved teacher, and one of the two founding faculty members of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University. Jean McKelvey and Maurice were appointed the first faculty members of Cornell’s newly created ILR School in 1945 by its founding dean, Irving Ives. Mr. Ives left the university shortly thereafter for the United States Senate. Maurice served as secretary, then chair, of the committee that governed the school between Ives’s resignation and the appointment of Martin P. Catherwood as Dean of the School in 1947. One of Maurice’s most valuable contributions to the school was during this formative period in its history. By virtue of his dignity and erudition, as well as his considerable political skills, Maurice greatly facilitated the acceptance of the initially controversial multidisciplinary ILR School into the larger university community

    Determinants of Pharmacokinetic Variability during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A roadmap to rational pharmacotherapy in children

    Critically-ill infants sometimes require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to provide adequate oxygenation and perfusion. Pharmacokinetic data are often lacking for this particular population, which leads to dose regimens that are based on personal experience or extrapolation from studies in other patients. This thesis aims to add to the understanding of determinants of drug behavior during ECMO, and to provide dose recommendations for commonly used drugs. Part I addresses practical problems that are encountered in pediatric studies. We give an overview of sampling and assay methods. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) drug assays using small volumes of plasma were developed for beta-lactam antibiotics, sildenafil, midazolam, morphine and their main metabolites. In part II, drug adsorption was quantified in in vitro circuits. Oxygenator size has little influence on drug loss, but losses are correlated to the lipophilicity (log P value) of individual drugs. Drug loss is smaller in circuits with a centrifugal pump. Pharmacokinetic studies (part III) with cefotaxime, sildenafil and midazolam show that, in general, ECMO patients have a slower metabolism and excretion than non-ECMO patients, and a higher volume of distribution. This combination would require doses to be increased, and the dose interval lengthened. In contrast, within patients the period between cannulation and decannulation shows an increased clearance compared to pre- and post-ECMO, which suggests drug adsorption by the circuit and membrane oxygenator, CVVH-clearance or improved hepatic and renal perfusion. The poor predictability of these effects leads to the conclusion that individual drugs should be studied in ECMO patients. The methodology we present in this thesis can facilitate these studies

    A review of water year 1987 in northern California [abstract and figures]

    EXTRACT (SEE PDF FOR FULL ABSTRACT): It seems that an average water year is a rare beast; 1987 was no exception. It turned out to be the ninth driest this century in Northern California's Sacramento River basin. I'd like to summarize for you some interesting facts about water year 1987 and how it affected rainfall, snowpack, runoff, and water storage in California

    To establish whether there are differences in performance between 757 (Lloyd Maunders) birds and the Maurice Millard 257 those currently used within the Sheepdrove system

    Get PDF
    Sheepdrove Organic Farm wanted to know whether the performance of the Lloyd Maunders (757) birds would differ from that of their current breed the Maurice Millard (257) and whether chicks sourced from an organic parent flock would perform differently to those from a conventional parent flock. An experiment was undertaken using two different sources of day old chicks, 1000 day old Maurice Millard (257) and 1000 day old Lloyd Maunders (757). These chicks were then put through the Sheepdrove (SOF) organic production system and 30 random birds were weighed every week until depletion, at 11 weeks
