  • Under the Shadow of this Red Rock: Reading T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land for its Places, Persons, and Poetics

    Creator:
    Summers, Stephen James
    Abstract:
    Thomas Stearns Eliot’s 1922 modernist poem The Waste Land presents itself as an alternative to the decaying society Eliot found himself inhabiting. It begins as a personal means of pulling together one’s fragmented consciousness, but in doing so Eliot manages to present a solution to a world of selfishness—looking beyond...

  • Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Clare
    Abstract:
    Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

  • Microbial Abundance and Community Analysis in Devil’s Hole, Harrington Sound, Bermuda

    Creator:
    Denman, Carmen C.
    Abstract:
    Microbial activity within elevated CO2 and oxygen depleted environments changes with density driven stratification overturn in the seasonally anoxic region of Devil’s Hole, Bermuda. The temperature gradient developed during the summer months creates a natural laboratory to study bacterial and virus population density and microbial community dynamics in the anoxic...

  • Sonification of DNA Chromatogram Data of Lionepha Species

    Creator:
    Adams, Lili
    Abstract:
    Sonification is an emerging field that highlights and translates the patterns of data into sound. In this way, the auditory sense functions as an interface for transmitting information in a meaningful way. There have been many previous applications of sonification in research and professional settings. However, this field remains an...

  • Measuring Anti-Müllerian Hormone Concentrations to Determine Reproductive Status in Female Rabbits

    Creator:
    Meeker, Alissa R.
    Abstract:
    There are over two million pet rabbits in the United States. Many rabbits are obtained as adults from pet stores and humane societies. Pet rabbit owners may elect to perform ovariohysterectomy (spay) surgeries on female rabbits to prevent unwanted pregnancies as well as to eliminate the possibility of reproductive disorders...

  • The Dynamics of Random Pulse-Coupled Oscillator Networks

    Creator:
    Kadhim, Kyra L.
    Abstract:
    The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...

  • Evaluating the response of bees to visual attractants in resource-poor environments

    Creator:
    Parvin, Lucas
    Abstract:
    Bee populations are declining around the globe, while the need for their pollination services is increasing with growing food demands by an expanding population. There is a need for innovative practices to increase pollination in agricultural environments without harming wild bee populations. However, the use of artificial visual attractants has...

  • The Heart of Elevation: Investigating the Physiological and Neural Mechanisms Underlying Moral Elevation

    Creator:
    Hutchinson, James Spencer
    Abstract:
    Moral elevation refers to the distinct state of warmth and expansion that some individuals experience after witnessing or learning about the altruistic acts of others. Elevation is a particularly interesting positive emotion for its capacity to promote various altruistic behaviors, as well as motivate witnesses to improve their character. The...

  • A Historical Reflection of Cultural Factors Inhibiting American Healthcare Reform

    Creator:
    Leathers, James S.
    Abstract:
    Past healthcare reform has been blinded by the presence of competing philosophies and ideologies that ultimately yielded ineffective compromises or short-terms solutions. With the ever-shifting political and economic landscapes, the future of our nation’s healthcare is in great peril. This paper is a meta-analysis on obstructions to healthcare reform that...
