Quantification Of Metals In The Shells Of The Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea Virginica, Utilizing Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry, Swati Patel Apr 2017

Quantification Of Metals In The Shells Of The Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea Virginica, Utilizing Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry, Swati Patel

Undergraduate Student Symposium

The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 20, 2010 resulted in the largest marine oil spill recorded in U.S. history. Consequently, aquatic and terrestrial wildlife were affected adversely. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of metals in the shells of the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica. Bivalves are suitable indicators of the surrounding ecosystem because they are sessile suspension feeders and are known to accumulate both organic and inorganic materials in their shells and tissues. Hence oysters are suitable indicators of the presence of contaminants in the food web. Analyses were performed on tissue …

Behavioral Response Of Small Everglades Fish To Hydrological Variation, Predator Cues, And Parasites, Stacey Spadafore, Domenique Olesen Apr 2017

Behavioral Response Of Small Everglades Fish To Hydrological Variation, Predator Cues, And Parasites, Stacey Spadafore, Domenique Olesen

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Small fish are important to the Everglades ecosystem as primary and secondary consumers and as a food source for higher trophic levels. In short-hydroperiod wetlands, these fish must migrate to refuge areas or risk stranding, and have been observed to rapidly recolonize during the wet season. The goals of this study are to understand what influences annual migrations to and from short-hydroperiod wetlands. We aim to link individual variation in behavior to population-level movement. We specifically tested whether the willingness of fish to explore and move through unknown environments varied among species, with hydrological season, wetland hydroperiod, or parasite load). …

The Effects Of Video Gaming With A Brain-Computer Interface On Mood And Stress, Francisco Javier Carrera Arias Apr 2017

The Effects Of Video Gaming With A Brain-Computer Interface On Mood And Stress, Francisco Javier Carrera Arias

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Previous research has shown that video game playing can alter psychological processing. Noninvasive, but cognitively challenging, video games (e.g. Tetris) have been shown to reduce intrusive memories following a traumatic event. This application has been thought of as a “cognitive vaccine” wherein the limited processing resources following a traumatic event are redistributed to the video game task. Emerging video game apparatuses include brain-computer interfaces (BCI’s) where scalp-recorded electroencephalographic (EEG) data are used to control different aspects of the game. It is possible that BCI-driven video games can serve as a useful addition to video game “cognitive vaccine” treatment following emotional …

Comparison Of Porifera Bacterial Symbiont Community Profiles Based On Species And Source Template, Celeste Banfill Apr 2017

Comparison Of Porifera Bacterial Symbiont Community Profiles Based On Species And Source Template, Celeste Banfill

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Sponges exhibit complex, species-specific microbial symbioses. The role of symbiont communities, known as “microbiomes”, to create a “holobiont” with their host is not fully understood. Microbiomes can be characterized by sequencing 16S rRNA fragments from total community genomic DNA (gDNA). The purpose of this study is to sequence bacterial rRNA from previously isolated cDNA (complementary DNA synthesized from RNA samples) and compare the profiles to gDNA. The samples were derived from the Porifera Tree of Life (PorTol.org). I hypothesize that microbial profiles derived from gDNA templates will be nearly identical to those found in cDNA of the same sponge species. …

Quantitative Measurement Of Learning In Caenorhabditis Elegans In Response To An Engineered Nematicidal Bacterium, Pallavi Velagapudi, Krunal Patel Apr 2017

Quantitative Measurement Of Learning In Caenorhabditis Elegans In Response To An Engineered Nematicidal Bacterium, Pallavi Velagapudi, Krunal Patel

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Despite their global prevalence, there are very few strategies to prevent infections due to parasitic nematodes. Recent studies have shown that bacteria engineered using the principles of synthetic biology may serve as an alternative approach to intoxicating nematodes. While these engineered bacteria were initially shown to be relatively efficacious in intoxicating the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the nematodes quickly learned to avoid the engineered bacteria through aversive associative learning. In this study, we sought to use nematode learning assays to quantify the ideal amounts of toxin and attractant required to reduce aversive learning of C. elegans towards the engineered …

Stress, Cognitive Functioning, Mind Wandering, And Mindfulness: A Latent Variable Examination, Edward Zacka, Lindsay Craig Apr 2017

Stress, Cognitive Functioning, Mind Wandering, And Mindfulness: A Latent Variable Examination, Edward Zacka, Lindsay Craig

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Stress is a common facet of daily life. Unfortunately, a clear pattern of a negative impact of stress on a variety of cognitive functions has emerged. For instance, psychological stress has been shown to impair working memory (Banks & Boals, 2016; Klein & Boals, 2001) and perceived stress and PTSD symptoms have been linked to poorer self-report everyday cognitive functioning (Boals & Banks, 2012). Mind wandering—or thoughts unrelated to the current task —increases as a result of daily stressors and increases in mind wandering lead to decreases in cognitive functioning (Banks & Boals, 2016). Mindfulness meditation training improves working memory …

Towards The Development Of A 3-D Aortic Valve For Hydrodynamic Evaluation, Mahnoor Asif Apr 2017

Towards The Development Of A 3-D Aortic Valve For Hydrodynamic Evaluation, Mahnoor Asif

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Aortic Valve Disease occurs when an individual’s aortic valve does not function at its optimum level. AVD can be divided into two types: stenosis and regurgitation. AVD stenosis occurs when the leaflets of the aortic valve do not open all the way, restricting blood flow into the aorta. AVD regurgitation occurs when the leaflets don’t close all the way, allowing blood to flow back into the heart. The disruption in regular blood flow could lead to heart failure. The purpose of this experiment was to create a replica of an aortic valve using 3D printing methods for subsequent hydrodynamic evaluation. …

Subject Formation, Fundamentalism And Instrumentalist Nationalism In Zimbabwean Politics, Joram Tarusarira Dr. Apr 2017

Subject Formation, Fundamentalism And Instrumentalist Nationalism In Zimbabwean Politics, Joram Tarusarira Dr.

Peace and Conflict Studies

This article argues that despite presiding over a failed economy, the Zimbabwe African Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) led by Robert Mugabe, has willing and enthusiastic supporters. There are claims that the large crowds witnessed singing and dancing at ZANU PF rallies are mobilized by force because the attendees do not benefit anything from supporting the regime. In a divergence from the consensus of the literature, this article surfaces other explanations than coercion for the huge turnout at rallies, rented crowds, handouts, and well-articulated election manifestos. The psychological dimension, especially the fundamentalist mindset created by instrumentalist nationalism, is one such …

Spectral Remote Sensing Reflectance Of The Water Surface Collected At Multiple Stations On Cruises Dp03 And Dp04, May-August 2016, Chuanmin Hu, David English, Jacki Long, Shaojie Sun, Jenifer Cannizzaro

DEEPEND Datasets

Remote sensing reflectance, Rrs(λ), is used for validation of airborne and satellite ocean color measurements. Inverse models also employ Rrs measurements to estimate the bio-optical properties of near-surface waters or shallow benthic environments. It has been used to detect algal blooms, floating vegetation. The presence of oil also alters the water’s specular reflectance properties, and thus the measured Rrs. Rrs(λ) is measured from the ship using a handheld spectroradiometer. Multiple measurements of the light reflected from the water’s surface, a portion of the sky, and a calibrated, diffuse reflectance reference plaque are made using a spectroradiometer with a limited field …

Using Knowledge Of Shark Biology And Behavior To Inform Management And Conservation Efforts For The Globally Distributed And Fishery Exploited Shortfin Mako (Isurus Oxyrinchus), Mark Rubinas

HCNSO Student Capstones

The shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) is a regionally endothermic lamnid shark with a circumglobal distribution in temperate and tropical waters. This species has special adaptations for a highly migratory, apex predator lifestyle, including specialized anatomical structures, the retia mirabilia, that allows maintenance of a higher than ambient internal body temperature, a higher percentage of red muscle fibers located closer to its body core compared to ectothermic sharks, and specialized dermal denticles to help achieve the remarkable swimming speeds for efficient predation. However, many parts of the life history of the shortfin mako are still unknown, and difficult to …

Coral-Excavating Sponge Cliona Delitrix: Current Trends Of Space Occupation On High Latitude Coral Reefs, Ari Halperin, Andia Chaves-Fonnegra, David S. Gilliam Apr 2017

Coral-Excavating Sponge Cliona Delitrix: Current Trends Of Space Occupation On High Latitude Coral Reefs, Ari Halperin, Andia Chaves-Fonnegra, David S. Gilliam

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

The recent increase in abundance of coral-excavating sponges is a threat to the health of coral reefs. However, the distribution and growth of these sponges are poorly documented on high latitude reefs where corals live in marginal environmental conditions. In this study, we characterize the current trends of space occupation of Cliona delitrix on high latitude reefs (26°N) in southeast Florida. C. delitrix densities were significantly higher on the deepest habitat of this reef tract (the outer reef) in response to a higher availability of coral substratum. Sponge growth rates increased with depth, and in relation to presence of tunicates …

Surveying The Distribution And Abundance Of Flying Fishes And Other Epipelagics In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico Using Airborne Lidar, James H. Churnside, R J David Wells, Kevin M. Boswell, John A. Quinlan, Richard D. Marchbanks, Brandi J. Mccarty, Tracey Sutton

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

Flying fishes (family Exocoetidae) are important components of epipelagic ecosystems and are targeted by fishing fleets in the Caribbean Sea and elsewhere. However, owing to their anti-predator behavior and habitats, their ecology, abundance, and distributions are only partially known. From September 20 to October 6, 2011, we conducted a series of surveys over a large area (approximately 75,000 km2) of the northern Gulf of Mexico (87°W–90.5°W, 28°N–30°N). The surveys used an airborne lidar and vessel-based sampling, supported by near real time satellite observations of oceanic conditions. The aerial survey was conducted from a fixed wing aircraft that flew repeated surveys …

Problematizing Reflexivity, Validity, And Disclosure: Research By People With Disabilities About Disability, James Sheldon Apr 2017

Problematizing Reflexivity, Validity, And Disclosure: Research By People With Disabilities About Disability, James Sheldon

The Qualitative Report

In this article, I explore the potential for people with disabilities to conduct research about disability in education. Drawing upon Rasmussen (2006), I consider whether merely sharing one aspect of identity with participants is enough to gain an emic (insider) perspective when doing research. I argue that not only should we problematize our own identity, but that research should change the researcher’s own identity and that the degree to which research promotes this change is an essential aspect of formal validity of the research. Finally, I propose some practical implications and offer some advice for researchers conducting research on disability.

A Comparison Of The Ichthyofaunal Trophic Ecology At Selected Limestone Artificial Reef Sites And Adjacent Natural Reef Sites, Joseph R. Hornbeck

HCNSO Student Theses and Dissertations

Artificial reefs may enhance the biological production of reef-associated flora and fauna, but their trophic structure relative to that of natural reefs remains understudied. We assessed trophic dynamics by comparing δ13C and δ15N in 43 fish species from artificial and natural reef tracts of Broward County, Florida. We tested the effect of sampling location (artificial, first, and second reef), general feeding strategy (herbivore, omnivore, planktivore, invertivore, and carnivore), phylogeny, and standard length. For all samples, δ13C and δ15N ranged from -19.5 to -13.1‰ and 6.7 to 13.3‰, respectively. Lower trophic level feeding …
