Turtle Town: Creating A Self-Sustainable Ecosystem Using An Ecological Approach To Turtle Aquarium Design, Sheena K. O'Donnell May 2014

Turtle Town: Creating A Self-Sustainable Ecosystem Using An Ecological Approach To Turtle Aquarium Design, Sheena K. O'Donnell

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Typical pet turtle tank setups do not utilize the complete nutrient cycle seen in a functional natural ecosystem. This dysfunction results in waste and nutrient buildup, which is currently managed by water changes and regular tank cleaning. This type of maintenance can be costly and time-consuming -- not to mention unpleasant and hazardous to the aquarium owner's health. This study tested the effectiveness of using plants as part of a proposed ecological tank design to minimize waste buildup by utilizing nutrients. Wastewater from a dirty turtle tank was transferred to a tank setup containing three plants (Experimental Batch 1), while …


Deaf Sex Education In India: A Study Of Deaf Indians In The U.S., Lisa Marijn Van Der Mark May 2014

Deaf Sex Education In India: A Study Of Deaf Indians In The U.S., Lisa Marijn Van Der Mark

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a serious issue in India, as the United Nations AIDS (UNAIDS) in 2008 reported that approximately 2.5 million Indians are living with HIV (p. 1). Because of this, some degree of sex education has been initiated in state schools in India. Since no research exists on whether deaf people in India are receiving this education, the research questions related to the focus of this study on factors of sex education for the deaf in India include: What is the level of awareness and knowledge about sexually transmitted infections (STIs), safe sex …


The Social Integration Of Civil War Veterans With Hearing Loss: The Roles Of Government And Media, Corinna S. Hill May 2014

The Social Integration Of Civil War Veterans With Hearing Loss: The Roles Of Government And Media, Corinna S. Hill

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

The end of the Civil War at 1865 came with a staggering cost of 625,000 lives and a sizable number of deafened veterans. The deafened veterans who left the war faced a unique dilemma with their disability, hearing loss. The path to proving their disability and obtaining benefits would prove arduous. Before the Civil War, disability was considered less. After the war wrought its damage, disability was seen as free-riders. The morphing of the disability stigma can be attributed to the reactions from the government and media. The well-intentioned federal government's policies and resources for disabled veterans in the years …

The Role Of Childhood Environment And Outdoor Exposure On Connectedness To Nature, Kallissa Bailey May 2014

The Role Of Childhood Environment And Outdoor Exposure On Connectedness To Nature, Kallissa Bailey

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

There may exist a relationship between the type of environment one is raised in, amount of exposure to the outdoors as a child and later connectedness to nature as an adult. This study attempts to identify childhood experiences, which may have an influence on adult tendency toward specific patterns of attachment, belief, behavior, and emotions in relation to the natural world. Results show no significant relationship between childhood environment and preference of indoor or outdoor activities in this study sample. However, frequency of exposure through field trips has been found to have a significant impact on connectedness to nature. The …


The Mystery Of Fut2: A Population Genetics Analysis Of The Secretor Gene Using The 1000 Genomes Project, Brienna Herold May 2014

The Mystery Of Fut2: A Population Genetics Analysis Of The Secretor Gene Using The 1000 Genomes Project, Brienna Herold

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Because the ability to resist infectious disease has been a constant factor in the survival of humans over the past few millennia, disease resistance has played a crucial role in shaping the genes of the immune system. One of these genes, FUT2, is suggested to have evolved as an adaption reinforcing the immune system, although the specific function of its Lewis b and ABO blood group antigens in body fluids and secretions are still unclear. However, nonfunctional alleles are present in populations worldwide at frequencies higher than expected under neutral evolution. To elucidate the role of FUT2 in the immune …
