Water powered mills were a very important part of life in early America, and Augusta County, Virginia had an abundance of milling activity. Excellent records of milling activity, farm production, and road and farm locations for the period of 1880-1885 allowed a geographic information system (GIS) database to be formed so that spatial patterns could be verified and identified in the Riverheads district of the county. Service areas of 21 mills were identified by using a GIS to calculate the shortest road distance to surrounding farms. It was found that wheat, the main crop, was most likely shipped from the 369 farms to the closest mills. A correlation was also found between wheat production and distance from the mill, thus farmers closer to a mill were more likely to grow wheat. The study also demonstrates the usefulness of GIS analysis and computer cartography in historical, geographic research which has traditionally used theoretical approaches or lacked adequate data for GIS analysis. / Master of Science

Polpas dos frutos chopé (Gustavia augusta L.) e sacha mangua (Grias neuberthii Macbr.) e sementes dos frutos de macambo (Theobroma bicolor) foram utilizadas na determinação da composição centesimal e da atividade antioxidante de seus extratos. Na quantificação da composição centesimal foram analisados os teores de umidade, proteínas, lipídeos, carboidratos, fibras e cinzas. Na avaliação da atividade antioxidante foram utilizados os extratos etéreo, alcoólico e aquoso, os quais foram obtidos de forma sequencial a partir das farinhas secas e peneiradas (32-mesh). Estas farinhas também foram fracionadas para a obtenção das frações ricas em ácidos fenólicos livres (AFL), ácidos fenólicos de ésteres solúveis (AFES) e ácidos fenólicos de ésteres insolúveis (AFEI). Tanto nos diferentes extratos como nas diferentes frações foi determinada a atividade antioxidante in vitro, empregando-se o sistema aquoso β-caroteno/ácido linoléico e no meio lipídico através do método de Rancimat a 110°C e o método da estufa a 60°C. Os compostos fenólicos foram identificados por CG-EM. Tendo em vista que o extrato aquoso das amostras apresentou melhor atividade antioxidante, este foi utilizado nas avaliações in vivo em ratos. Amostras de fígado, plasma, cérebro, tecido adiposo foram obtidas após 29 dias de fornecimento dos extratos por gavagem para os animais. Nestes tecidos foram avaliados os teores de ácidos graxos, onde pode ser observada uma certa proteção dos ácidos graxos insaturados, a qual pode estar relacionada com os antioxidantes naturais presentes nos extratos. / The centesimal composition and antioxidant activity of Chopé (Gustavia augusta L.) and Sacha Mangua (Grias neuberthii Macbr.) fruits pulps and macambo (Theobroma bicolor) seeds were evaluated. The moisture, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, fibers and ashes contents were determined for the centesimal composition. The etheric, alcoholic and aqueous extracts from the fruits were sequentially obtained from dried and 32-mesh-sifted floors and their antioxidant activity were analyzed. The fractions of free-acid phenolics (FAP), soluble ester of acid phenolics (SEAP) and unsoluble ester of acid phenolics (IEAP) were obtained from the same floors. The in vitro antioxidant activity was determined for all samples: different extracts and fractions. The aqueous system β-carotene/linoleic acid was employed and in the lipidic medium was used the Rancimat system (110oC) and stove (60oC) method. The phenolic compounds were identified and quantified by GC-MS method. The highest antioxidant activity was achieved in the aqueous extracts, these were used in vivo utilizing rats as experimental animals. Liver, plasma, brain and fat tissues samples were obtained 29-days after the animals had been received by gavagem. In these tissues, the fatty acids contents were evaluated and it was observed a certain protection to the unsaturated fatty acids, which can be related to the natural antioxidant substances present in the extracts.

"The purpose of this study was to attempt an appraisal of the contribution of Social Service activity toward trial visit movement over a three year period at the V.A. Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Augusta, Georgia. Preliminary exploration of such movement during the selected period had revealed an increase in the number of trial visits during the first six months of each year from 91 in 1954 to 202 in 1957. A corresponding increase was noted in the ratio of successful discharges from trial visit to rehospitalizations for the same period: from 37 discharged to 50 returned in 1954 to 142 discharged and 109 returned in 1957. The average daily number of patients on trial visit also increased from 80 to 225"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1959." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: Howard W.

"The purpose of this study was to analyze the 'before' and 'after' distribution of data collected from the hospital records of thirty-seven neuropsychiatric patients who were evaluated by a special hospital committee. More specifically, the purpose was to determine whether there were any differences of significance in patient care and patient movement of thirty-seven patients residing on an open full-privileged ward four months prior to an evaluation by the Neuropsychiatric Therapeutic Review Committee and four months following the evaluation"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1960." / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: John T.

A análise desta produção, a partir da perspectiva dos Estudos Feministas e de Gênero e da História Cultural nos possibilita compreender com um novo olhar as experiências patriarcais da sociedade goiana, do conjunto de representações e do imaginário em que essas mulheres estavam inseridas. ________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The present dissertation has the objective of emphasizing female authorship through the analysis of the fictional and non fictional material of two generation of authors from the City of Goiás. Analysing this production from the perspective of Feminist and Gender studies, as well as Cultural History, enables us develop a new approach to understand the patriarchal experiences of the “goiana” society, of the set of representations and the imaginary dimension in which these women were inserted.
