The Effects Of Income, Gender, Parental-Involvement On The Education Of Children With Single-Parent And Step-Parent Families, Halie Olszowy
The Effects Of Income, Gender, Parental-Involvement On The Education Of Children With Single-Parent And Step-Parent Families, Halie Olszowy
Perspectives
This literature review examines the findings of various authors on the topics of family structure and educational success. By examining the dynamics of income, gender, and parental involvement within both single-parent and step-parent families, we are able to better understand how those three dynamics vary between both single- and step-parent families and may cause differences academically for children living in those family structures. Reviewing the literature, we are able to determine that there are differences between single- and step-parent families in terms of income, gender, and parental involvement. Unclear though, is whether or not, over time, it is most beneficial …

Develping A Methodology For The Mapping And Characterization Of The Nigerian Coastline Using Remote Sensing, Olumide Fadahunsi, Shachak Pe'eri, Lee Alexander, Christopher Parrish
Develping A Methodology For The Mapping And Characterization Of The Nigerian Coastline Using Remote Sensing, Olumide Fadahunsi, Shachak Pe'eri, Lee Alexander, Christopher Parrish
Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping
Coastline delineation is important in maritime boundary determination, as well as for analyzing coastline change rates due to coastal erosion, sea level change, storms, and other causes. Coastline change rate estimates depend on the uncertainty of the current and historical coastlines used in the analysis, which, in turn, depend on the surveying technologies and techniques that were originally used. Current techniques for coastline mapping include photogrammetric delineation using tide-coordinated aerial imagery. However, in many developing countries, the charted coastlines may have been inadequately and inconsistently mapped largely due to inadequate resources. This paper describes the use of an automated technique …

Eelgrass Habitat Creation In Nantucket Harbor, Massachusetts, David M. Burdick, Gregg Moore, Chris Peter
Eelgrass Habitat Creation In Nantucket Harbor, Massachusetts, David M. Burdick, Gregg Moore, Chris Peter
Natural Resources & the Environment
In response to eelgrass habitat losses associated with development and marine activities in and around Nantucket Harbor, a plan to restore a meadow by transplanting eelgrass to previously vegetated areas was developed in conjunction with the Nantucket Land Council. Over 6,000 eelgrass shoots were sustainably harvested from an extensive bed within the Harbor that was located just west of First Point and near the inlet to Nantucket Sound. Four weeks following collection, impacts from our collection were shown by a 24% decline in shoot density, but live eelgrass cover did not decline significantly. After 12 weeks, no effects of collecting …

Fine-Scale Population Structure And Asymmetrical Dispersal In An Obligate Salt-Marsh Passerine, The Saltmarsh Sparrow (Ammodramus Caudacutus), Jennifer Walsh, Adrienne I. Kovach, Kimberly J. Babbitt, Kathleen M. O'Brien
New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station Publications
Understanding the spatial scale of gene flow can yield valuable insight into the ecology of an organism and guide conservation strategies. Fine-scale genetic structure is uncommon in migratory passerines because of their high vagility and presumed high dispersal abilities. Aspects of the behavior and ecology of some migratory species, however, may promote structure on a finer scale in comparison to their mobility. We investigated population genetic structure in the Saltmarsh Sparrow (Ammodramus caudacutus), a migratory passerine that breeds along the northeastern coast of the United States, where it is restricted exclusively to a narrow strip of patchily distributed tidal marsh …

Estimating Connecticut Stream Temperatures Using Predictive Models, Erik Carlson
Estimating Connecticut Stream Temperatures Using Predictive Models, Erik Carlson
Honors Theses and Capstones
The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) seeks to better classify their streams into thermal regimes (cold, cold transitional, warm transitional, and warm water). A prediction model was created based upon physical characteristics such that CT DEEP could classify streams into thermal regimes based upon the parameters described in Lyons et al. 2009 and compare them to their own classification system. Accurately classifying these thermal regimes determines the environmental protection provided to a stream as well as the potential for establishing fisheries.

Genetic Engineering Of Dunaliella: Potential For Improved Biofuel Production, Alison Wirshing
Genetic Engineering Of Dunaliella: Potential For Improved Biofuel Production, Alison Wirshing
Honors Theses and Capstones
Biodiesel produced from algal lipids is a promising source of renewable energy. Reasons for using algae, as opposed to vascular plants, are numerous. Oleaginous algae do not require fertile land or fresh water to grow, and therefore do not compete with food crop resources. Algae have short generation times and higher growth rates than larger vascular plants allowing for synthesis and accumulation of large quantities of neutral lipids, about 20-50% of the dry cell weight, in a short period of time. The efficiency of biodiesel production from oleaginous algae could be improved by using transgenic (genetically engineered) algae. The goal …
Replication Protein A (Rpa70c) Negatively Regulates Ribonucleotide Reductase (Rnr) In The Model Plant Arabidopsis Thaliana, Stacy Wong
Honors Theses and Capstones
Replication protein A (RPA) is a heterotrimeric single-stranded DNA-binding protein that plays an important role in cellular responses to DNA damage. For example, RPA can activate the cell-cycle checkpoint protein ATR in the presence of persisting DNA damage. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana has 5 functional homologous RPA70 genes which may play specific roles in response to DNA damaging agents. One chemical that causes DNA damage in Arabidopsis is Hydroxyurea (HU), which blocks DNA replication by inhibiting activity in Ribonucleotide Reductase (RNR), an enzyme responsible for the production of free deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs). In studies of Arabidopsis mutants, atr plants, but …

Honors Theses and Capstones
This paper looks to better understand the effects leisure has on adolescents. Leisure is an important past time for adolescents since they have so much free time to pursue activities. The adolescents, their parents, recreation programmers, and school officials should be aware of the benefits and risks associated with different leisure pursuits so they can better help the adolescents’ transition into an adult who has a high level of psychologically well-being. After the different effects are analyzed, this paper offers recommendations to recreation programmers. These recommendations account for the different factors of leisure. Overall, this paper is an analysis of …
The Effects Of Dependent Infants On The Social Behavior Of Mantled Howler Monkeys (Alouatta Palliate), Keziah Katz
The Effects Of Dependent Infants On The Social Behavior Of Mantled Howler Monkeys (Alouatta Palliate), Keziah Katz
Honors Theses and Capstones
Six weeks of observation on eight groups of wild mantled howler monkeys revealed that the presence of a dependent infant alters the frequency of social interactions between a female with an infant and other adult monkeys. Males preferred to spend time with females without infants but still spent more time with females with infants than with males. Females without infants spent significantly less time with females with infants than with males or other females without infants and females with infants decreased their frequency of social interaction overall without preference for males, females or other females with infants.

Defeating Cytoplasmic Sequestration Of P53 In Human Breast Cancer Cells; Is Mortalin Involved?, Sarah Yunes
Defeating Cytoplasmic Sequestration Of P53 In Human Breast Cancer Cells; Is Mortalin Involved?, Sarah Yunes
Honors Theses and Capstones
Cytoplasmic sequestration of p53, possibly caused by p53 interacting with mortalin, can prevent p53 from functioning in DNA repair and apoptosis, causing aberrant growth. This project treated SKBR3 breast cancer cells with MKT-077, a dye that is a competitive binder to mortalin to see if it would result in the release of p53 from the cytoplasm and restoration of p53 function. Treatment resulted in partial translocation of a protein suspected to be p53 to the nucleus and apoptosis initiated at the mitochondria.
