Accounting in the furniture and woodworking industries, designed in combination with General factory accounting by the same author to afford a definite standard of practice in the industries referred to in the title

This book is intended to supplement General Factory Accounting, in which, without reference to particular lines of industry, are set forth the author\u27s general methods of book and record keeping. The purpose of the present book is to illustrate, in detail, the manner of employing those general methods in, as well as to describe and explain the results to be accomplished by the employment of such additional methods as are peculiar to, accounting practice in the furniture and woodworking industries. Originally it was proposed to cover the entire work in a single volume, but, upon mature deliberation, the impossibility of doing this, without running the risk of leaving the average reader more confused than enlightened, became apparent. Accounting in the industries here referred to entails the employment of every method described in the earlier work. In illustrating the employment of these general methods in those industries, and in describing and illustrating the use of the additional methods which the peculiarities of the industries referred to render desirable, the author has gone into more minute detail than he would have felt warranted, had he attempted simultaneously to explain general and special methods. The reader will be best served by taking up the subjects of principle and general practice in the perusal of General Factory Accounting before beginning the study of special methods and their application as these are treated in this book

Perceptions and Satisfaction of Healthy Food Choices Among College-Aged Females in a Self-Serve Dining Facility Setting

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Kristin Timken, for the Master of Science degree in Food & Nutrition, presented on November 21, 2011, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: PERCEPTIONS & SATISFACTION OF HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES AMONG COLLEGE-AGED FEMALES IN A SELF-SERVE DINING FACILITY SETTING MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Sara Long Roth Objective: The purpose of this study was to measure perceptions of healthy food choices and satisfaction of menu choices among members of a sorority house. Design: Three surveys were used in this experiment, two pre-tests and one post-test. Subjects and Setting: The study consisted of a self-selected sample of 38 females aged 18-23 who were living in Stein Hall. Intervention: Food and menu items were changed to incorporate healthier food items and healthier recipes along with addition of more fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains Statistical Analysis: One-way ANOVA tests were used to test for significance. Post-hoc tests were used to compare the three surveys. Results: Almost 90% of the participants reported being dissatisfied, to some extent, with menu items served at meals on the first survey. Residents\u27 reported satisfaction of menu changes changed significantly throughout duration of the study. Conclusions: Results of this study suggest that increasing healthy foods on the menus increased reported satisfaction of meals

Quantification of Trace-Level DNA by Real-Time Whole Genome Amplification

Quantification of trace amounts of DNA is a challenge in analytical applications where the concentration of a target DNA is very low or only limited amounts of samples are available for analysis. PCR-based methods including real-time PCR are highly sensitive and widely used for quantification of low-level DNA samples. However, ordinary PCR methods require at least one copy of a specific gene sequence for amplification and may not work for a sub-genomic amount of DNA. We suggest a real-time whole genome amplification method adopting the degenerate oligonucleotide primed PCR (DOP-PCR) for quantification of sub-genomic amounts of DNA. This approach enabled quantification of sub-picogram amounts of DNA independently of their sequences. When the method was applied to the human placental DNA of which amount was accurately determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), an accurate and stable quantification capability for DNA samples ranging from 80 fg to 8 ng was obtained. In blind tests of laboratory-prepared DNA samples, measurement accuracies of 7.4%, −2.1%, and −13.9% with analytical precisions around 15% were achieved for 400-pg, 4-pg, and 400-fg DNA samples, respectively. A similar quantification capability was also observed for other DNA species from calf, E. coli, and lambda phage. Therefore, when provided with an appropriate standard DNA, the suggested real-time DOP-PCR method can be used as a universal method for quantification of trace amounts of DNA
