A Chain Reaction Model of Political Advertising Effects CHAIN REACTION MODEL OF POLITICAL ADVERTISING EFFECTS: ADVERTISING CONTENT, MEMORY, AND CANDIDATE EVALUATION By FENG SHEN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2008 1 © 2008 Feng Shen 2 To my family 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am deeply indebted to many people in my completion of this dissertation and all the thanks I express herein are meager substitutes for the gratitude and appreciation I owe. Heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Jon Morris (my supervisory committee chair) for his invaluable guidance, mentorship, and the unfathomable emotional support he provided. For her untiring guidance on research design, I also wish to thank Dr. Lynda Kaid. In addition, this dissertation has benefited immensely from the constructive comments I received from Dr. Jorge Villegas and Dr. David Miller. Without their efforts this would not have been nearly as rewarding an accomplishment. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my friends and faculty at the University of Florida, especially Dr. John Sutherland and Dr. Debbie Treise for their mentorship. I also truly thank Dr. Michael Weigold, Dr. Justin Brown, Seth Oyer, Annie Sugar, Sunny Hughes, Kenneth Kim, Tom Mueller, and Michael Clayton for their sincere support. The love of my parents enabled me to start and complete the otherwise impossible dream of attaining this degree. Without the tireless encouragement of my father and mother, I could not have completed this study. I deeply admire them. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...............................................................................................................4 LIST OF

Justin Brown, (814) 863-8370, [email protected]; professional presentation Historically, viral-induced neoplasia in wild turkeys has been rare and most often associated with reticuloendotheliosis virus. In 2009, lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV), an uncommon source of lymphotumoral disease in domestic turkeys in Europe and Israel, was first identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence confirmation in a wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) from Arkansas with lymphoid tumors in multiple organs. Subsequent surveillance identified LPDV in a total of 41 wild turkey diagnostic cases from 18 states in the eastern United States of America (USA). Based on gross and microscopic lesions, lymphoid neoplasia was determined to be the cause of morbidity or mortality in a minority (15%) of these LPDV positive wild turkeys.

The primary aim of this study was to examine in adolescents with obesity and of healthy weight the effect of a high-protein and a high-carbohydrate meal on postprandial gut appetite hormones. A postprandial cross-over study with adolescents 11–19 years old was undertaken. Participants consumed, in random order, a high 79% carbohydrate (HCHO) and a high 55% protein (HP) meal. Ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), and self-reported appetite were assessed for four hours postprandial. Total energy intake from an ad libitum lunch and remaining 24 h was assessed. Eight adolescents with obesity (OB) and 12 with healthy weight (HW) participated. Compared with HW, OB adolescents displayed a smaller ghrelin iAUC (−25,896.5 ± 7943 pg/mL/4 h vs.

While it has been a difficult winter in many respects, Green Bay’s University of Wisconsin is continuing to move confidently ahead. Just recently we were delighted to announce that Dr. Thomas K. Harden, president of Clayton State University in 6 Georgia, had been confirmed as our fifth chancellor. FEATURES It is a tribute to UW-Green Bay that an educator of Dr. Harden’s stature pursued this position. He shared with us that he was attracted by our interdisciplinary academic program, focus on environmental sustainability, fine facilities and the Inside UW-Green Bay Creative alumni natural beauty of our campus, but he stressed one positive above all — the people.
