This study examines the relationship of ADHD with quality of life (QoL) and peer relations in college students. Specifically, this study analyzes how ADHD impacts QoL and peer relations and how other variables can impact these relationships. The current study was conducted through an online survey on Qualtrics which included...

The anthropogenic introduction of nutrients to water bodies has been shown to alter the structure and function of natural aquatic ecosystems, yet national EPA lake and reservoir nutrient criteria remain too broad for effective regional water quality management. This study uses a reference site approach to propose numeric nutrient criteria...
Climate change is impacting a wide range of global systems, with polar ecosystems experiencing the most rapid change. While climate impacts affect lower trophic level and short-lived species most directly, it is less clear how long-lived and mobile species will respond to rapid polar warming, as they may have the...
In marine ecosystems, rising atmospheric CO2 and climate change are associated with concurrent shifts in temperature, circulation, stratification, nutrient input, oxygen content, and ocean acidification, with potentially wideranging biological effects. Population-level shifts are occurring because of physiological intolerance to new environments, altered dispersal patterns, and changes in species interactions. Together...
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of the strains representing the 14 races of
U. hordei, the causal agent of covered smut on barley, revealed extensive polymorphism
in chromosome length and number. The purpose of this study was to determine by two
approaches the exact chromosome number for each U. hordei race,...
Over the last two decades, urban stormwater management has grown to include green infrastructure, such as bioswales. These systems were primarily designed to mitigate hydraulic peaking during rainstorms but were also found to remove particulate and dissolved contaminants. However, little is known about the fate of these particulate contaminants after...
Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common primary skeletal tumor in dogs accounting for 85% of bone tumors and nearly 6% of all canine neoplasms. They are highly aggressive tumors that carry a poor prognosis despite intensive treatment, highlighting the need for more effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Recent research in...
A flume study was conducted to investigate the influences of
changing hydraulic conditions on the bed morphology of a scoured pool.
During a simulated storm runoff event, responses of the pool were
tested under different conditions: clearwater flow, sediment supply at
steady rates, and two different sediment mixtures of the...
A poster explaining how the transtheoretical model can be applied to a case management intervention to help reduce BMI among a specific population. Specifically, this piece depicts the application of it to obese African American children by examining their eating habits and increasing their physical activity.
Among sexually-active, young women, the motivation to contracept
seems to be more of an issue than the technology. This study explored
two factors associated with the motivation to contracept; specifically,
the relationship of sex role orientation (SRO), and locus of control
(LOC), to the contraceptive use patterns of 77 unmarried,...
