NET WORKING: Work Patterns and Workforce Policies for the New Media Industry

This report, based on a study of a group of highly accomplished professionals in New York City, is one of the first to take up labor market issues in the new media industry. It describes the challenges faced by professionals and employers alike in this important and dynamic sector, and identifies strategies for success in a project oriented environment with highly complex skill demands and rapidly changing technology. Our findings suggest three central issues

A scanning transmission x-ray microscope for materials science spectromicroscopy at the advanced light source

Design and performance of a scanning transmission x-ray microscope (STXM) at the Advanced Light Source is described. This instrument makes use of a high brightness undulator beamline and extends the STXM technique to new areas of research. After 2.5 years of development it is now an operational tool for research in polymer science, environmental chemistry, and magnetic materials. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/71051/2/RSINAK-69-8-2964-1.pd

A Woman’s Role in 1913: The Role of Fashion, Marriage, and the Woman’s Suffrage Movement In Demonstrating Female Rights

1st place winner of the Friends of Fondren Library Undergraduate Research Awards, 2014.Issues of The Atlanta Constitution newspaper in January 1913 made women’s place in society remarkably clear. Ads, articles, and “help wanted” sections all illustrated that women held a less powerful place in society than men. Women’s rights were limited by the roles they were expected to play in society. Society encouraged women to get married, stay in the home, perform the roles of housewife and mother, and organize their lives around men. The overall environment women lived in depicted men in the center and women at the periphery. A plethora of articles taught women the best ways to attract men, encouraged them to value beauty above everything else, and demonstrated that society in 1913 truly was “a man’s world.” Naturally, not all women accepted this, which led to the Women’s Suffrage movement and less recognized forms of resistance. The world of women was changing in 1913 as women pushed back against the confines of their social roles and redefined their place in society. This research paper will analyze issues of The Atlanta Constitution from January 1913 in order to show women’s role in society at the time and how some women worked to redefine it

Effects of alcohol on laminin in rat gastric mucosa

Following ethanol exposure, tlie gastric surface epithelium often exfoliates. leaving a denuded basal lamina. Viable cells from tlie gland migrate along thc basal lamina to repair the defect. a process known as restitution. Laniinin. the major lion-collagenous glycoprotein of basal laminac, functions in cellular adhesion and migration and. tliereforc. any alteration of this molecule b! ethunol may influence subsequent rcs t i t~~t ionA. fter a 5 o r 60 minutes treatment with saline. 5OCl/ll or 100% ethanol. gastric tissues were removed from fasted female Sprag~~e-Dawlerayt s, fixed in 1% paraformaldehyde and processed in Lowicryl. Once embedded and sectioned. specimens were incubated in anti-laminin followed hy protein A-gold. The area of lamina drnsa from interfoveolal-. pit and gland regions was measured and g,old particles counted. Absolute cthanol caused dirnin~shed imrnunogold binding in all regions at all time periods. except the gland at 60 minutes. Exposure to 50% ethanol for 5 minutes did not alter laminin bincling. although 60 minutes after 50%) alcohol, laminin immunolabelling was increased. Alcohol concentration alters laminin immuno~old binding. and therefore may influence restitituion

Soft x-ray spectromicroscopy development for materials science at the Advanced Light Source

Several third generation synchrotron radiation facilities are now operational and the high brightness of these photon sources offers new opportunities for x-ray microscopy. Well developed synchrotron radiation spectroscopy techniques are being applied in new instruments capable of imaging the surface of a material with a spatial resolution smaller than one micron. There are two aspects to this. One is to further the field of surface science by exploring the effects of spatial variations across a surface on a scale not previously accessible to x-ray measurements. The other is to open up new analytical techniques in materials science using x-rays, on a spatial scale comparable to that of the processes or devices to be studied. The development of the spectromicroscopy program at the Advanced Light Source will employ a variety of instruments, some are already operational. Their development and use will be discussed, and recent results will be presented to illustrate their capabilities
