Solar Energy Research And Development In California, Brett T. Close

Pomona Senior Theses

The energy crisis of 2001, high prices for gas and electricity and worries of climate change have caused a growing awareness about energy issues in California. The problems are clear. This paper looks at the next step of finding and implementing solutions. In this case the contribution that solar photovoltaic and solar thermal generation could make toward solving the problem. This paper looks at technological change, the current state of solar energy research, current government policies on solar energy, and finally makes policy recommendations to meet the stated problem.

The Notch Regulator Maml1 Interacts With P53 And Functions As A Coactivator., Yongtong Zhao, Rebecca B. Katzman, Laurie M. Delmolino, Ishfaq Bhat, Ying Zhang, Channabasavaiah B. Gurumurthy, Aleksandra Germaniuk-Kurowska, Honey V. Reddi, Aharon Solomon, Mu-Sheng Zeng, Aisha Kung, Hui Ma, Qingshen Gao, Goberdhan Dimri, Adina Stanculescu, Lucio Miele, Lizi Wu, James D.

Journal Articles: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Members of the evolutionarily conserved Mastermind (MAM) protein family, including the three related mammalian Mastermind-like (MAML) proteins MAML1-3, function as crucial coactivators of Notch-mediated transcriptional activation. Given the recent evidence of cross-talk between the p53 and Notch signal transduction pathways, we have investigated whether MAML1 may also be a transcriptional coactivator of p53. Indeed, we show here that MAML1 is able to interact with p53. We show that MAML1-p53 interaction involves the N-terminal region of MAML1 and the DNA-binding domain of p53, and we use a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay to show that MAML1 is part of the activator complex that …

Cattail Distribution End Abundance In North Dakota, Scott T. Ralston, G. M. Linz, W. J. Bleier, H. J. Homan

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of North Dalcota provide important habitats for a plethora of invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Since 1991, glyphosate-based (N-phosphonomethyl-glycine) herbicides have been used to manage dense cattail (Typha spp. L.) stands on 29,522 ha of wetlands in the PPR to disperse blackbird roosts. Limited information exists on the abundance and distribution of this important habitat. We took aerial photographs and used geospatial analysis tools to identify wetland basins and cattail coverage on randomly selected sample sites within the PPR. We found that average wetland density and size were 13 wetlands/ km² and …

What Have You Done For Me Lately? Assessing Hospital Community Benefit, Eileen Salinsky

National Health Policy Forum

This issue brief reviews key aspects of the ongoing policy debate related to not-for-profit hospitals, the advantages they derive from tax exemption, and the benefits they provide to communities served. It provides a historical context for how federal standards for assessing hospitals’ tax-exempt status have evolved and describes recent activities to explore additional policy changes. Legislative and regulatory actions at the state and local level are also examined. Evidence on the performance of not-for-profit hospitals in comparison to their for-profit competitors on measures of cost, quality, and access is summarized, and perspectives on the need to preserve a not-for-profit presence …

The Importance Of A Good Home Literacy Environment, Colleen Vaughan

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

The ability to read is the most valuable and important skill for a child to acquire. A child who is an accomplished reader will be a good student and successful adult. Teachers spend countless hours teaching children to read, but without cooperation from parents or caregivers, children may still not become proficient readers. Practice reading needs to happen at school and in the home. Therefore, it is imperative that every child has a good home literacy environment. The purpose of this project was to develop a handbook for a child to take home to his parents or caregivers to convince …

Chaos Theory And Military Applications, Judith Crane

Pell Scholars and Senior Theses

This paper reviews the fundamentals of Chaos theory, military systems that are Chaotic, Chaos in non-physical systems, Chaos control, and the applications of Chaos theory for the military. This fairly new mathematical concept is still being explored and it is expanding in its applications for the military. Glenn James in his paper Chaos theory: The Essentials for Military Applications, capitalizes the word “chaos” throughout his paper when discussing mathematical chaos. This method will be used throughout this paper as well to distinguish mathematical chaos from social chaos. In order to help understand Chaos theory, the logistic map, a difference equation …

Adaptation And Mitigation Strategies In Agriculture: An Analysis Of Potential Synergies, Cynthia Rosenzweig, Francesco Nicola Tubiello

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications

As climate changes due to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, agriculture will be one of the key human activities affected. Projections show that while overall global food production in the coming decades may keep pace with the food requirements of a growing world population, climate change might worsen existing regional disparities because it will reduce crop yields mostly in lands located at lower latitudes where many developing countries are situated. Strategies to enhance local adaptation capacity are therefore needed to minimize climatic impacts and to maintain regional stability of food production. At the same time, agriculture as …

Writing And Circulating Modern America: Journalism And The American Novelist, 1872–1938, Derek John Driedger

Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

My research began with the question, "How did former journalists depict aspects of the newspaper environment in late-nineteenth, early-twentieth-century fiction?" A historical reading of journalism and fiction places the emphasis on what historical moments or trends these writers documented, and how they presented their worldview. To present findings on how a journalism career proved beneficial for a novelist, I examine arguments debating the shared space between fact and fiction when writers tried to raise their readers' cultural awareness. My study pays particular attention to newspapers such as the New York Herald, the New York World, and the Atchison [Kansas] Globe. …

Fish Predation Alters Community Predictability In Small Ponds, Elizabeth Gabor Biro

Theses

Predation can have large but variable impacts on prey species diversity. Although the effects of predation are often deterministic, stochastic processes can often influence the outcome on community assembly regardless of predator presence. Top predators can alter several properties of the community, including the abundance and richness of species, as well as the traits of species that can persist with predators. These properties, in turn, may influence the pattern of community assembly and the predictability of community structure from site to site. In this study, we investigated whether the presence of fish predators influenced the site-to-site predictability (similarity in community …

Raiding The Archive: A Study In The Veneration And Visibility Of The Lindisfarne Gospels, Rebecca Welzenbach '07

Honors Projects

The Lindisfarne Gospels (LG), also known as BL MS Cotton Nero D.iv, an eighth-century English Gospel Book, has been revered since its creation for its unique illuminations and its Anglo-Saxon gloss of the Latin gospels. The codex has changed hands many times, surviving Viking attacks, the Norman Conquest, and the tragic biblioclasm associated with the English Reformation. This study examines the way that three owners of the manuscript have understood and negotiated the balance between protecting the LG and sharing its treasures with pilgrims and scholars. I explore the methods and motives of the eighth-century monastic community that produced the …
