Data on the UBV system are presented for 14 quasistellar radio sources, 8 N galaxies,39 radio galaxies and 19 radioquiet galaxies south of +20° declination. Their positions in the two - color diagram show that the integrated colors of the radio galaxies are similar to those of the radioquiet galaxies of the same morphological type. In an absolute radio magnitude - radio index diagram a linear relation exists between M158 and ím158 Boo for radio galaxies of all classes. The QSO:s, however, do not follow this relation, and possible explanations are considered. The brightness and color distributions in the larger galaxies are described in detail. Our results are combined with other data for a discussion of the compositions of these systems. It is suggested that a fairly high amount of reddening occurs in the central regions of several galaxies, as for instance, in NGC 1068 and NGC 1316.

The Light Bearer consists of seven stories that are set in and around the small town of Anderson Place, Tennessee. Their focus is on the inhabitants of the town, which is in the process from expanding from a rural town to a bedroom community of the expanding Nashville. These stories remain interested in the everyday lives of the characters, and their focus remains on the interpersonal relationships of those individuals. Six of the seven stories are set in contemporary Tennessee, while the last story focuses on events that occurred in the early 1960s.

This study is an attempt to re-investigate the Republican party during the Reconstruction era in order to understand the degree and nature of the changes. The paper reviews the basis of the party at different points in its metamorphosis to demonstrate what happened to the organization.

This thesis examines the efforts of the British loyalists in Georgia and the Carolinas to assist the British army bring the southern provinces back under royal control. These efforts and a judgment of the reasonableness of the trust in the zeal and strength of the southern loyalists are the subjects of this study.

Class of 2007 Abstract / Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the direct costs of scorpion envenomation events in the acute care setting for patients treated in a southern Arizona hospital. Methods: A chart review analysis of documented treatment of scorpion envenomations at a university hospital was conducted to compile demographic, drug use, and resource utilization information. Patients were selected based on an ICD-9 code diagnosis of scorpion envenomation within the years 1993 to 2001. Results: 103 patient charts were reviewed. The average length of stay was 1.21 days (range 0.5-6.5 days), the average age was 4.7 years (range 0.2-53 years old). Males comprised 54% of the patients, 51.9% Caucasian, 41.6% Hispanic, and 60.2% were from an urban setting. The average drug cost was $51.82 (SD=53.22). The total average cost in the entire population was $6,764.54, (SD= $3,866.55). The average cost of rural versus urban was $7,535.74 and $6,254.55, respectively (p=0.100). The average cost for male versus female was $6,949.64 and $6,520.90 (p= 0.581), and the average cost for the 0-3 years group was $6,721.10, the >3 years to 14 years group’s average cost was $6,643.33, and the >14 years of age group’s average cost was $8,578.42. None of the comparisons between age groups were statistically significant, with p values ranging from 0.274 to 0.922. Conclusions: Although scorpion envenomations were costly, there were no statistically significant differences noted between any of the comparison groups. Transportation, including air transport in the rural setting, did not account for a significant change in cost. Many of the patients that were envenomated in the rural setting were seen at a regional hospital and then transported as necessary.
