We are deeply grateful and humbled by the generous donation people make for the purpose of educating our present and future medical professionals. Our students include, but are not limited to, medical students, physical therapy students, physician assistant students, practicing medical doctors, plastic reconstructive surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, medical researchers and evolutionary anthropologists. Body donation plays a critical role in helping our students master the complex anatomy of the human body. Our process starts at the time of death. We provide donor cards for potential donors. The cards inform loved ones and doctors of the intent to donate to Duke School of Medicine and provide our contact information. There is no registration. We keep no records before death occurs. We screen donors after death occurs based on criteria and other conditions occurring prior to, and at the time of death. Our purpose is to serve medical education We do not facilitate brain donation or organ donation. and support donor families People who wish to donate their bodies for specific through the donation process study of a disorder or disease need to find researchers working on that particular issue and arrange body We do provide cremation after course donation with them, as research projects have specific studies are complete, but we are not a criteria and often have narrow windows of acceptance. mortuary or funeral home.

  • Lithospheric Modification During Crustal Extension in the Main Ethiopian Rift
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 112, B10201, doi:10.1029/2006JB004916, 2007 Click Here for Full Article Lithospheric modification during crustal extension in the Main Ethiopian Rift Tyrone Rooney,1,2 Tanya Furman,1 Ian Bastow,3,4 Dereje Ayalew,5,6 and Gezahegn Yirgu5 Received 22 December 2006; revised 11 May 2007; accepted 27 June 2007; published 5 October 2007. [1] Quaternary lavas erupted in zones of tectonomagmatic extension within the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) preserve details of lithospheric structure in the East African Rift System. Despite observed source heterogeneity, basalts, trachybasalts, and basaltic trachyandesites erupted in the Wonjii Fault Belt (WFB) and the Silti-Debre Zeyit Fault Zone (SDFZ) form coherent fractionation paths dominated by variable removal of observed phenocryst phases. Crustal assimilation is not widespread, though it is observed at the southern end of the WFB where both fault belts merge; farther north, assimilation of cumulate phases related to fractional crystallization of previous magmas is identified. Shallow fractionation conditions ( 1 kbar) within the WFB do not change from north to south. In contrast, lavas erupted within the contemporaneous SDFZ fractionate at various crustal depths. These results indicate a better developed magmatic system beneath the WFB where magmas rose quickly before undergoing more significant fractionation at near surface levels and a less developed system beneath the SDFZ. The distribution of magmatism and extant geophysical data indicate thinned crust and a single rift-centered zone of magmatic activity northeast of 8°300N, consistent with a transitional lithosphere between continental and oceanic settings. Southwest of 8°300N, thicker crust and rift- marginal axes of extension suggest lithosphere with continental affinities.

    Annual Budget Process The City of Durham’s annual budget process is the framework for communicating major financial operational objectives and for allocating resources to achieve them. This process is a complex undertaking involving the whole government. The process begins in October and runs until the end of June. By state law, the City must adopt an annual budget ordinance by June 30 of each year. Coordination of the process is essential to the building of the budget. To achieve coordination, a calendar of activities is summarized on this page. Once the budget is approved, the focus of the budget becomes control. Ongoing monitoring of expenditures and revenues throughout the year is a responsibility shared by department heads and the Budget Department. The Accounting Services Division ensures that changes are correctly entered and payments are appropriate. The Budget and Management Services Department reviews all requests from departments to make sure that sufficient appropriations have been budgeted. All funds are reviewed on a regular basis, and a budget report is submitted to the City Council on a quarterly basis. The City Manager has the authority to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any function. However, transfers between functions, additions or deletions require a budget amendment. To amend the budget, a revised budget ordinance must be approved by the City Council. January February March Department budgets submitted Coffees with Council continue. Budget kick-off.

The main part of campus - aside from the Duke Forest and other properties - is nearly 2000 acres, with approximately 500 acres of that being actively maintained. The large amount of tree coverage, road network, topography, and natural drainage system, along with extensive designed landscapes, athletic fi elds and gardens, makes the campus an incredibly rich and complex place. These guidelines are intended to be a resource for creating and maintaining a campus landscape with a certain level of consistency that exists across various precincts with specifi c contextual requirements. These guidelines will help to set the character for the different landscape types while also providing detailed recommendations and precedents for what has and has not worked on campus previously.

  • Neil's Young Trustee Application
    Neil’s Young Trustee Application Name: Neil Kondamuri Year: 2014 Email: [email protected] Phone: 219.384.7907 Class Year and School: Senior / Trinity College of Arts and Sciences 1. What is your perception of the role of Young Trustee? “The reason for including students on the Board of Trustees was ... to get younger members on the Board ... whose viewpoint, close to students, would be a valuable addition.” ­ Terry Sanford on the role of the Young Trustee The Young Trustee is a full voting member of Duke’s governing body for two years of a three­ year term. Thus, the Young Trustee is first a Trustee, with the primary goal of minding Duke’s best interests, and second, a Board member with the unique undergraduate perspective fresh in mind. Similar to Sanford’s perspective, I believe the Young Trustee’s role is to offer the unique perspective of a current or recently graduated student. A typical Duke student is engrossed in a fundamentally different environment in college and post­college than most Trustees were. This distinctive position allows him or her to offer new insights into various questions that a typical Board member may not have. An ideal Young Trustee understands the complexities of life at Duke and should be able to translate that viewpoint into actionable policy. It is important to note that a Young Trustee is not an advocate of any group or its mission, but rather serves as a representative for the general student body’s issues. He or she must embody a typical Duke student and must have an excellent comprehension of problems that concern the student body.
