Main Poche: The Last Of The Traditional Potawatomi War Chiefs, Jeff Chivis

McNair Scholars Journal

In the opening years of the 19th century, Native and European Americans struggled for lands throughout the area that we now refer to as the Midwest part of the United States. Among the leaders of the Indians who resisted European intrusion into their territories were the legendary Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa, the Shawnee Prophet. Much has been written about these two significant figures in American history (Sugden 1985), but other leaders also emerged during this time that have not been well researched. One of these is the Potawatomi wabeno and war chief, Main Poche. This paper briefly describes Main …

Novel Glutaredoxin Gene In Soybean Responds To Aluminum Toxicity In Soil, Kisha D. Thomas-Bostic

McNair Scholars Journal

Oxidative stress generated by aerobic metabolism or from environmental sources is a major cause of damage to organisms. Aluminum is a major toxin in acidic soils and one proposed source of oxidative stress. The enzyme glutaredoxin utilizes a disulfide oxidation-reduction mechanism to detoxify free radicals and is one way organisms have evolved to handle oxidative stress. We have recently isolated a novel glutaredoxin cDNA from soybean; sequence analysis indicates that it is highly similar to other plant glutaredoxin. We grew soybean seedlings in soils containing 0, 20, and 50 mM AlCl3 to examine the effect of high levels of Al …

Investigation Of Amnestic Effects Of Microinjections Of Nmda Receptor Antagonist Ap5 Directly To The Goldfish Telencephalon, Jennifer Bazner

McNair Scholars Journal

N-Methyl-D-asparate (NMDA) receptor antagonists have been shown to block long-term potentiation (LTP), an increased effectiveness in communication among neurons and a physiological correlate of learning and memory, and also impair certain learning in mammals. Previous studies in our lab have shown that NMDA receptor antagonists injected into the cranial space in goldfish impair active avoidance conditioning. In mammals, NMDA receptor antagonists block LTP in the hippocampus, which may result in learning impairment in mammals. Although neuroanatomists are not yet in agreement with which part of the goldfish telecephalon s homologous to the hippocampus in mammals, studies have shown that telecephalon …

Sexual Harassment: Do Perceptions Differ Across Race And Sex, Amanda J. Webster

McNair Scholars Journal

The present study examined the perceptions of sexual harassment across both respondent race (Black and White) and respondent sex (male and female) using a scenario manipulation and questionnaire. Harasser sex (male and female) was also manipulated. The scenario questionnaire, which included eight items, asked respondents to role-play the victim of a sexual harassment incident and indicate their perceptions of the situation. They also responded to a 19-item generalized measure of attitudes toward sexual harassment (Mazer and Percival, 1989). Both measures were scored using a 7-point Likert scale. Results are interpreted in the context of perceptual differences of sexual harassment across …

Violence, Risk, And The Training Of Campus Police Officers, Latasha Williams

McNair Scholars Journal

With recent headlines of school shootings and vehicular homicide dominating the news, social concern about the prevention of violent crimes and violent behavior only continues to increase. It seems logical that the issue of violent crimeshould also be a concern for campus police departments and administrators of college campuses. However, despite recent advances in identifying risk factors related to violent criminal behavior and in the development of theories and methods of perpetrator identification, there is no published data regarding how or if these advances are being put to use in settings such as college campuses. This paper presents a preliminary …

Cyprus In Europe: Seizing The Momentum Of Nice, Patrick R. Hugg

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In December 2000 the European Council Summit in Nice fulfilled the promise for European Union enlargement made at the Helsinki Summit the year before. The leaders of the EU Member States reaffirmed their commitment to the accession of the applicant countries, making possible the broad re-unification of the continent under democratic rule of law and free market economies. This Article focuses specifically on the accession of the island of Cyprus, Europe's remaining divided state, poised strategically between East and West. The island's armed stand-off presents the clearest example of legal conflict between two ethnic communities in a discrete geographical territory, …
