Perceptions of Sexual Health Websites by Low Income Urban African American Youth and Service Providers

Creator:: Williams, Dacia R.
Abstract:: Low-Income urban African American (LIU-AA) youth are at high risk for HIV/STIs and adolescent pregnancy. Sexual health websites (SHWs) offer an inexpensive, easy-to-disseminate, and potentially highly-accessible method of improving sexual health knowledge, awareness, and help-seeking. The present study examined engagement regarding sexual health websites for at-risk, LIU-AA youth. We conducted...

A sense of scale : Foraging cetaceans’ use of scale-dependent multimodal sensory systems

Creator:: Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Research on cetacean foraging ecology is central to our understanding of their spatial and behavioral ecology. Yet, functional mechanisms by which cetaceans detect prey across different scales remain unclear. Here, I postulate that cetaceans utilize a scale-dependent, multimodal sensory system to assess and increase prey encounters. I review the literature...

Big fishery, big data, and little crabs: Using genomic methods to examine the seasonal recruitment patterns of early life stage Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) in the California Current Ecosystem

Creator:: Lee, Elizabeth M. J. and O'Malley, Kathleen G.
Abstract:: The California Current Ecosystem (CCE) is a dynamic marine ecosystem from which many socioeconomically important fisheries species are harvested. Here, a genotyping- by-sequencing (GBS) approach was used to examine genomic variation in an early life stage (megalopae) of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister), which constitutes the most valuable single-species commercial...

Quantifying uncertainty with stochastic collocation in the kinematic magentohydrodynamic framework

Creator:: Rajbhandari, Evan, Gibson, Nathan L., and Woodside, C. Rigel
Abstract:: We discuss an efficient numerical method for the uncertain kinematic magnetohydrodynamic system. We include aleatoric uncertainty in the parameters, and then describe a stochastic collocation method to handle this randomness. Numerical demonstrations of this method are discussed. We find that the shape of the parameter distributions affect not only the...
