This study assessed the psychological androgyny of female dental hygiene students. The Bem Sex-role Inventory was administered to 38 dental hygiene students at the University of Oklahoma, 34 at Baylor University, and 23 at Louisiana State University. About 26% of the students at Baylor and LSU were classified as undifferentiated and 21% at Oklahoma. Baylor students had the highest combined proportion (55.9%) classified as androgynous or undifferentiated. However, employing Bem's traditional subtractive method, the majority of subjects in all groups were classified as either near-feminine or feminine. Similarity of classification among these groups was demonstrated by non-significant differences for androgynous, masculine, and feminine scores. This study demonstrates that place of geographic residence and training locations have little impact upon influencing the sex-role status for female dental hygienists.

This study assessed the variations of psychological androgyny among females in dentistry. By means of the Bem Sex-role Inventory, 27 female dental students, 38 dental hygiene students, and 26 dental assistants were classified as being psychologically androgynous, feminine, masculine, or undifferentiated. 33% of dental students were classified as psychologically androgynous whereas 29% of dental hygienists and 31% of dental assistants were classified as being psychologically sex-typed feminine in their behavior. The implications of sex-typing may have some influence in the career choice of females into the human resources within dentistry.

Russian Federal State Educational Standards of 3+ generation impose serious requirements to resource support of educational and training process, including electronic information-educational environment of the University. In the Southwest State University (SWSU), a unified multimedia information and educational environment based on Internet-broadband access technologies was created; it successfully operates and keeps developing. The main concept of this environment construction is the idea of integrating data, applications, and business processes. SWSU Electronic information-educational environment (EIEE) is designed to provide information transparency of the University activities in accordance with the requirements of the current legislation of the Russian Federation in the sphere of education, to organize educational activities of the University and to ensure access of students and research and academic-staff of the University to information and educational resources. The main components of SWSU EIEE are: the actors of the education and training process (teachers, students, etc.), external digital library systems, internal automated information library system, “SWSU academic courses” subsystem, “Southwest State University Web portal” subsystem, and the official web site of the Southwest State University. “Southwest State University Web portal" subsystem makes it possible to automate traditional basic functions of Dean's office of the University, such as managing student conduct systems for students of Bachelor and Master Degree Programs of full-time and correspondence forms of training; recording and statistical processing of the data on students’ progress; recording students’ achievements; managing Dean's office workflow. As prescribed in Federal State Educational Standards of 3+ generation, Portal Modules are used to record the results of formative and summative assessment of students in accordance with SWSU current score rating system for learning outcomes.

In an effort to change the librarian-faculty collaboration culture at Nicholls State University, librarians actively sought grant opportunities to make resources available to the university which would facilitate collaboration. Nicholls was able to secure grant funding for a collaborative multidisciplinary research workshop series to promote undergraduate research. The objective of this grant funded opportunity was to place the library in a central role in the enhancement and expansion of the university's research initiatives and partner with those disciplines that were traditionally self-contained. The technology and training made available to students through this initiative is important as it provides all students with access to foundational training and necessary technology to be competitive in academia and the workforce. Through these long-term partnerships forged with research focused disciplines, the library is now able to demonstrate its capacity to serve as an integral component of university research initiatives.

Justin Du Bois of Stanford University developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 10202) a Ru catalyst for the stereoretentive hydroxylation of 1 to 2. John T. Groves of Princeton University effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 12847) equatorial chlorination of the test substrate 3. Kenneth M. Nicholas of the University of Oklahoma found (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 7644) that I2 catalyzed the amination of 5. Thorsten Bach of the Technische Universität München established (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 3690) that the amination of 7 proceeded with significant diastereoselectivity. Phil S. Baran of Scripps/La Jolla compiled (Synlett 2010, 1733) an overview of the development of C-H oxidation. Tethering can improve the selectivity of C-H functionalization. X. Peter Zhang of the University of South Florida devised (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 10192) a Co catalyst for the cyclization of 9 to 10. Teck-Peng Loh of Nanyang Technological University established (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 8417) conditions for the oxidation of 11 to 12. Jin-Quan Yu, also of Scripps/La Jolla, effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 17378) carbonylation of methyl C-H of 13 to give 14. Sunggak Kim, now also at Nanyang Technological University, established (Synlett 2010, 1647) conditions for the free-radical homologation of 15 to 17. Gong Chen of Pennsylvania State University extended (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 3414) his work on remote Pd-mediated activation by cyclizing 18 to 19. Many schemes have been developed in recent years for the oxidation of substrates to reactive electrophiles. Gonghua Song of the East China University of Science and Technology and Chao-Jun Li of McGill University reported (Synlett 2010, 2002) Fe nanoparticles for the oxidative coupling of 20 with 21. Zhi-Zhen Huang of Nanjing University found (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5214) that protonated pyrrolidine 25 was important for mediating the site-selective coupling of 24 with 23. Y. Venkateswarlu of the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, was even able (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 4898) to effect coupling with a cyclic alkene 28. AB3217-A 32, isolated in 1992, was shown to have marked activity against two spotted spider mites. Christopher R. A. Godfrey of Syngenta Crop Protection, Münchwilen, prepared (Synlett 2010, 2721) 32 from commercial anisomycin 30a. The key step in the synthesis was the oxidative cyclization of 30b to 31.

This chapter examines two U.S. four-year public universities, the Pennsylvania State University World Campus and the University of Oklahoma Outreach, that have successfully developed online adult education system/programs for adults. Using the principles of effectiveness for serving adult learners, the integrated review reveals not only how they advance online higher education environment for adults, but the types of challenges they have. Key findings highlight that, under a strong tradition of distance education, “self-assessment system,” “financial independence,” and “diverse active supports for life and career planning” play a critical role in increasing the academic engagement and retention of adult students. However, they also have several challenges: “high tuition rates and limited scholarship options,” “monitoring students' experience,” “learning outcome assessment,” and “commitment of faculty members.” The authors close with practical/academic implications and future research agendas.

The localized occurrence of salt water in shallow wells on and near the Louisiana State University campus, in addition to shells collected during the drilling of these wells, attracted the attention of geologists to this area prior to 1926. A torsion balance survey in 1931 was followed by a dry hole drilled in 1933 southeast of the present field. Three separate reflection seismograph surveys during the period of 1934 to 1937, on each one of which a well was drilled without establishing production, were made on the University structure prior to discovery in 1938. The location based on the first reflection seismograph survey should have resulted in the discovery of both the shallow and deep production, and the discovery location was finally made because of the oil and gas shows encountered in this abandoned test. After discovery, an additional reflection survey was made to detail the structure as an aid in development.
