Patterns In Body Mass Distributions: Sifting Among Alternative Hypotheses, Craig R. Allen, A. S. Garmestani, T. D. Havlicek, P. A. Marquet, G. D. Peterson, C. Restrepo, C. A. Stow, B. E. Weeks

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

Understanding how animals interact with their environment is critical for evaluating, mitigating and coping with anthropogenic alteration of Earth’s biosphere. Researchers have attempted to understand some aspects of these interactions by examining patterns in animal body mass distributions. Energetic, phylogenetic, biogeographical, textural discontinuity and community interaction hypotheses have been advanced to explain observed patterns. Energetic and textural discontinuity hypotheses focus upon the allometry of resource use. The community interaction hypothesis contends that biotic interactions within assemblages of species are of primary importance. Biogeographical and phylogenetic hypotheses focus on the role of constraints on the organization of communities. This paper examines …

Machine Guns, Cows, And Quarantines: Foot And Mouth Disease In The United States, Mexico And Argentina, David Nesheim

James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities

Although mad cow disease has reigned supreme as the most feared bovine malady for the last twenty years, foot and mouth disease (FMD) held that title for much of the twentieth century. Since the 1920s, it has been illegal to import fresh or frozen meat into the U.S. from countries where FMD exists. This sanitary embargo has been the source of cooperation and hostility in inter-American affairs. Some scholars consider the ban to be little more than protectionism, while others recognize the real biological threat. A cursory glance at the 1924 FMD outbreak in California reveals the high social and …

Ugly And Monstrous: Marxist Aesthetics, Chris Rasmussen

James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities

An analysis of Marxist conceptions of the good and the beautiful and their relationship to alienation, “Ugly and Monstrous” argues that Marxism was ultimately a set of aesthetic beliefs, one that paradoxically called for the temporary cessation of all attempts to create beautiful artwork. Marx understood beauty as Kant had – that it is the result of the harmonization of the faculties that occurs when a disinterested observer encounters a work of art. Capitalism gives to all works (art included) monetary value, and all observers become interested consumers, debasing art appreciation and killing the human desire (and need) to experience …

The Formation Of A New Gadolinium Dendrimer And Its Potential Use As An Mri Contrast Agent, Karoline Korah

Undergraduate Student Symposium

The search for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent that enhances the images of the body’s bloodstream, tissues, or organs is currently continued. There are several known gadolinium compounds that are used as MRI agents. The use of dendrimers as an MRI contrast agent is being investigated, but the recent focus on the applications of dendrimers allows much of the developments of research to be fairly new. This research project will involve creating a new gadolinium compound and studying the possibility of using it as an MRI contrast agent.

Synthesis Of New Ruthenium (Ii) Complex With A Long Excited State Lifetime For Its Use As A Dna Probing Biosensor, Terry-Ann Dawes

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Due to the degree of instrumentation needed for DNA diagnostic procedures, it has become considerably expensive for the public and independent laboratories to conduct research on genetic diseases and to probe DNA. Even though myriad technologies are available for detection and measurement of modified target molecules, DNA probing techniques are involved and complex processes. To remedy the problem, researchers have developed methods of molecular binding detection by using fluorometric assays because they are more sensitive than colormetric ones. However, these have proved to be inefficient because of complications due to background fluorescence and light scattering. Additionally, current methods of chemiluminescence …

Strengthening Silicate Coatings On Quartz Particles With The Addition Of Aluminum Phosphate, Moataz Behairy, Maria Bernal, Kamaljit Kaur, Mark Monroe, Jennifer Novek, Farheen Parvez, Shweta Shah, Vien Tran

Undergraduate Student Symposium

For aesthetic purposes, quartz particles are coated to provide a wide array of colored sands. These colored sands are used extensively in roofing shingles and pool plasters. The coating is a proprietary mixture whose base is sodium silicate. Sodium silicate solutions are also referred to as water glass. Upon heating to remove water, a hard amorphous silicon dioxide coating is left behind. This coating is rugged but not a tough as crystalline quartz. This study investigates the use of Goldschmidt’s rules of substitution, a fundamental theory from geochemistry, to enhance the coating of the quartz particles. Aluminum phosphate was chosen …

Percy Bysshe Shelley: Unmasked Indignation, Deborah Z. Greenbaum

Undergraduate Student Symposium

This paper analyzes Percy Bysshe Shelley’s unique application of the philosophy and characteristics of the Romantic British poets in his masterpiece, The Mask of Anarchy. Shelley’s use of language is examined within the context of Wordsworth’s definition of a poet as “a man speaking to men” through “a selection of language really used by men.” Additionally, Shelley’s appeal to the common man, his unusual use of nature as instructive and his manipulation of the imagination are reviewed and compared to the Romantic standard. Shelley’s divergence from the Romantics regarding personification and passionate feeling is demonstrated. The Mask of Anarchy …

Media Images, Self-Reconstructions, And Young American Women’S Quest For Perfection, Danielle Garcia

Undergraduate Student Symposium

The late 20^th and early 21^st centuries produced a new variety of female adolescent who was reared on a heavy diet of popular images, especially through consumer magazines and television programming. Now entering into adulthood, these young women continue to negotiate their self-identity within the context of cultural apparatuses that instruct them in everything from life-style choices to the ideal body image. According to the National Institute on Media and the Family, some fifty-three percent of thirteen year-old girls are unhappy with their physical appearance, and by age seventeen, body dissatisfaction in this population escalates to seventy-eight percent …
