Life, Heartbeat, Birth: A Medical Basis For Reform, David F. Forte Jan 2013

Life, Heartbeat, Birth: A Medical Basis For Reform, David F. Forte

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

This Article does not revisit the moral, legal, and constitutional critiques of the Court’s position [in Roe v. Wade]. The voluminous commentaries on the flaws in the Court’s opinions speak for themselves. Rather, this Article seeks to ground an expansion of the protection available to the unborn on the implicit principles underlying current Supreme Court doctrine, refined and modified by recent medical research on nature of pregnancy and human pre-natal development. It will argue that the State’s compelling interest in the protection of what the Court has called “potential life” ripens at an earlier point in time than what the …

Climate Change Geoengineering: Philosophical Perspectives, Legal Issues, And Governance Frameworks, William C. G. Burns, Andrew L. Strauss Jan 2013

Climate Change Geoengineering: Philosophical Perspectives, Legal Issues, And Governance Frameworks, William C. G. Burns, Andrew L. Strauss

School of Law Faculty Publications

The international community is not taking the action necessary to avert dangerous increases in greenhouse gases. Facing a potentially bleak future, the question that confronts humanity is whether the best of bad alternatives may be to counter global warming through human-engineered climate interventions. In this book, eleven prominent authorities on climate change consider the legal, policy, and philosophical issues presented by geoengineering. The book asks: When, if ever, are decisions to embark on potentially risky climate modification projects justified? If such decisions can be justified, in a world without a central governing authority, who should authorize such projects and by …


The Big-5 And The Perceived Effectiveness Of Love Acts, T. Joel Wade Jan 2013

The Big-5 And The Perceived Effectiveness Of Love Acts, T. Joel Wade

Faculty Journal Articles

!e present research was implemented in order to determine whether or not the Big-5 personality dimensions relate to the perceived effectiveness of love acts discovered in prior research. An internet based questionnaire was utilized and college undergraduates and as well as non-college students were included in the sample. !e Big-5 dimensions of Agreeableness, Openness to Experience, and Emotional Stability were expected to be related to the perceived effectiveness of the Love acts. Additionally, men and women were expected to rate Love acts signaling commitment and exclusivity as most effective. !e results obtained were consistent with the hypotheses and are discussed …


The Pea Aphid Uses A Version Of The Terminal System During Oviparous, But Not Viviparous, Development, Ryan D. Bickel, Hillary C. Cleveland, Joanna Barkas, Caitlin C. Jeschke, Amelie A. Raz, David L. Stern, Gregory K. Davis Jan 2013

The Pea Aphid Uses A Version Of The Terminal System During Oviparous, But Not Viviparous, Development, Ryan D. Bickel, Hillary C. Cleveland, Joanna Barkas, Caitlin C. Jeschke, Amelie A. Raz, David L. Stern, Gregory K. Davis

Biology Faculty Research and Scholarship

Background: In most species of aphid, female nymphs develop into either sexual or asexual adults depending on the length of the photoperiod to which their mothers were exposed. The progeny of these sexual and asexual females, in turn, develop in dramatically different ways. The fertilized oocytes of sexual females begin embryogenesis after being deposited on leaves (oviparous development) while the oocytes of asexual females complete embryogenesis within the mother (viviparous development). Compared with oviparous development, viviparous development involves a smaller transient oocyte surrounded by fewer somatic epithelial cells and a smaller early embryo that comprises fewer cells. To investigate …


The Evodevoci: A Concept Inventory For Gauging Students’ Understanding Of Evolutionary Developmental Biology, Kathryn E. Perez, Anna Hiatt, Gregory K. Davis, Caleb Trujillo, Donald P. French, Terry Mark, Rebecca M. Price Jan 2013

The Evodevoci: A Concept Inventory For Gauging Students’ Understanding Of Evolutionary Developmental Biology, Kathryn E. Perez, Anna Hiatt, Gregory K. Davis, Caleb Trujillo, Donald P. French, Terry Mark, Rebecca M. Price

Biology Faculty Research and Scholarship

The American Association for the Advancement of Science 2011 report Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education encourages the teaching of developmental biology as an important part of teaching evolution. Recently, however, we found that biology majors often lack the developmental knowledge needed to understand evolutionary developmental biology, or “evo-devo.” To assist in efforts to improve evo-devo instruction among undergraduate biology majors, we designed a concept inventory (CI) for evolutionary developmental biology, the EvoDevoCI. The CI measures student understanding of six core evo-devo concepts using four scenarios and 11 multiple-choice items, all inspired by authentic scientific examples. Distracters were designed …


Response Of Macroarthropod Assemblages To The Loss Of Hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis), A Foundation Species, Tara E. Sackett, Sydne Record, Sharon Bewick, Benjamin Baiser, Nathan J. Sanders, Aaron M. Ellison Jan 2013

Response Of Macroarthropod Assemblages To The Loss Of Hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis), A Foundation Species, Tara E. Sackett, Sydne Record, Sharon Bewick, Benjamin Baiser, Nathan J. Sanders, Aaron M. Ellison

Biology Faculty Research and Scholarship

In eastern North American forests, eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) is a foundation species. As hemlock is lost from forests due to the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) and preemptive salvage logging, the structure of assemblages of species associated with hemlock is expected to change. We manipulated hemlock canopy structure at hectare scales to investigate the effects of hemlock death on assemblages of ants, beetles, and spiders in a New England forest. Relative to reference hemlock stands, both in situ death of hemlock and logging and removal of hemlock altered composition and diversity of beetles and spiders, and logging increased …
