From South America to Southeast Asia, these fruits have been used for a wide variety of ailments, including cough, diabetes, dysentery, inflammation and ringworm. These same fruits are also used to make many food products. Based on information regarding ethnomedical use, known phytochemistry, fruit color, popularity as edibles and availability, the fruits of several edible species from the subtribe Eugeniinae have been selected for phytochemical analysis in an attempt to discover new antioxidants. The fruits of six species in this group have shown a strong antioxidant activity in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhy-drazyl chemical assay. The UV absorbance spectrum of the most active compound in Eugenia uniflora L. indicates that it is a flavonoid. Polyphenolic compounds like flavonoids have an enormous range of biological activity and are known to inhibit oxidative damage in vivo better than the classical vitamin antioxidants. In plants, they protect against lipid peroxidation and UV damage that can affect tropical fruits growing under severe conditions including high heat and intense sunlight. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/1523 Title: Pacific Rim Russian Librarianship: Forgotten Collectors for the Hoover Institution on Manchuria<br/><br/>Author(s): Polansky, Patricia<br/><br/>Abstract: Collecting efforts by the Hoover Institution among Russian émigrés in China is a little-known story, told in this article through the biographies of Harold H. Fisher, Elena A. Varneck, Ivan I. Serebrennikov, and Robert V. Smith. The collection of documents, diaries, reports, books, and periodicals focuses on two broad topics: the Russian civil war in Siberia and the Far East, and the history of the Chinese Eastern Railway. The problems involved in collecting materials connected to events that recently occurred largely centered around money (especially the lack of it) and trying to decide whose materials were the most valuable. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/13413 Title: Anthroplogy at UHManoa: Some Historical Footnotes<br/><br/>Author(s): Ogan, Eugene http://hdl.handle.net/10125/13411 Title: Repression and punishment in North Korea : survey of prison camp experiences<br/><br/>Author(s): Haggard, Stephan; Noland, Marcus<br/><br/>Abstract: The penal system has played a central role in the North Korean government's response to the country's profound economic and social changes. Two refugee surveys--one conducted in China, one in South Korea--document its changing role. The regime disproportionately targets politically suspect groups, particularly those involved in market-oriented economic activities. Levels of violence and deprivation do not appear to differ substantially between the infamous political prison camps, penitentiaries for felons, and labor camps used to incarcerate individuals for misdemeanors, including economic crimes. Substantial numbers of those incarcerated report experiencing deprivation with respect to food as well as public executions and other forms of violence. This repression appears to work; despite substantial cynicism about the North Korean system, refugees do not report signs of collective action aimed at confronting the regime. Such a system may also reflect ulterior motives. High levels of discretion with respect to arrest and sentencing and very high costs of detention, arrest and incarceration encourage bribery; the more arbitrary and painful the experience with the penal system, the easier it is for officials to extort money for avoiding it. These characteristics not only promote regime maintenance through intimidation, but may facilitate predatory corruption as well. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/13410 Title: Concert Piece for Piano and Orchestra - Flutes<br/><br/>Author(s): Bacon, Ruth Orcutt http://hdl.handle.net/10125/13409 Title: Concert Piece for Piano and Orchestra - Trumpet in B flat<br/><br/>Author(s): Bacon, Ruth Orcutt http://hdl.handle.net/10125/13408 Title: Concert Piece for Piano and Orchestra - Timpani<br/><br/>Author(s): Bacon, Ruth Orcutt<br/><br/>Description: Two copies. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/13407 Title: Concert Piece for Piano and Orchestra - Clarinet<br/><br/>Author(s): Bacon, Ruth Orcutt<br/><br/>Description: Two copies of second clarinet. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/13406 Title: Concert Piece for Piano and Orchestra - Oboe<br/><br/>Author(s): Bacon, Ruth Orcutt http://hdl.handle.net/10125/13405 Title: Concert Piece for Piano and Orchestra - Violoncello<br/><br/>Author(s): Bacon, Ruth Orcutt<br/><br/>Description: Four copies.
