The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and USDA Wildlife Services (WS) have been involved in an oral rabies vaccination (ORV) program for raccoons (Procyon lotor) that has slowed the westward spread of raccoon rabies. The objective of this study was to forecast the spread of the disease if an ORV zone was not maintained. A group decision-making process was designed to address the forecasting problem and was implemented using a group of 15 experts and 4 support personnel at a meeting at the USDA National Wildlife Research Center. Ten expansion regions were constructed that described the spread of …

Over the past 10 years, the use of robotic kits in K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) initiatives as well as undergraduate engineering education has increased significantly. However, a survey of students in grades 9–12 indicated that only 2–3% of women in high school express an intention to study engineering; conversely, 16% of high school men declared that they plan to pursue an engineering degree [1]. In this paper, the authors present an initial review of published literature regarding the use of robotics in schools to identify cases where robotic kits have been used to engage girls in STEM …

Zane Middle School Songbird Refuge, Cavanaugh Carter, Christian Cota, Ben Voelz, Jennie Warmack
Undergraduate Scholarship
As a rehabilitation effort to restore songbird activity in the migratory bird corridor behind Zane Middle School in Eureka, The Songbird Refuge was commissioned. This project created songbird boxes, some traditional, some experimental, to add preexisting housing for migratory birds as well as supplement a new bird oriented curriculum in the school's science classes. The Refuge was designed by The Applicateers, four Cal Poly Humboldt students who took Engr205 Introduction to Design during their Spring 2014 semester: Cavanaugh Carter, Christian Cota, Ben Voelz, and Jennie Warmack. By working with Steve Wartburg, a biologist and science teacher at Zane Middle School, …
Choices, Bias, And The Value Of The Paycheck Fairness Act: A Response Essay, Nicole Buonocore Porter
Choices, Bias, And The Value Of The Paycheck Fairness Act: A Response Essay, Nicole Buonocore Porter
Faculty Publications
In the previous article written by Gary Siniscalco, Lauri Damrell, and Clara Morain Nabity [The Pay Gap, the Glass Ceiling, and Pay Bias: Moving Forward Fifty Years After the Equal Pay Act], the authors argue that the pay gap is not primarily caused by employer discrimination, but rather can be attributed to many factors, including the "glass ceiling" and choices made by women regarding occupation, caregiving, and commitment to the workforce. Thus, they argue that we should not place blame on employers and focus on the reach of anti-discrimination laws, and should instead acknowledge that there is a …
The “Sources” Of The Law: Drawing Together Norm And Life, Adriana Cosseddu
The “Sources” Of The Law: Drawing Together Norm And Life, Adriana Cosseddu
Claritas: Journal of Dialogue and Culture
Using Chiara Lubich’s conceptualization of individuals as one “human family,” Cosseddu explores a fundamental tension in legal theory between on the one hand the freedom of persons for whom law is written, and the norms necessary for regulating life in common on the other. The interpretive key Cosseddu offers for bridging this tension is “relationality,” by which the other is construed not as an object to be acted upon but as a fully personal subject who coexists with me and for me. Thus, the law serves justice by identifying situations of comfort and pain and offering the possibility of rebuilding …

Introduction: Angles Of The Right To Counsel In Civil Cases Debate: Formalism, Immigration, Reviewability, And Empiricism, John Pollock
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
Given the recent celebrations of Gideon v. Wainwright's 5 0 th anniversary,' it is most appropriate that this Symposium issue focuses on the civil right to counsel. While Gideon was only about the right to counsel in criminal cases, many of the events and articles marking the anniversary discussed the interplay between criminal and civil cases,2 even reaching the front page of the New York Times 3 and various radio shows. 4 Yet historically, criminal and civil cases have rarely been discussed simultaneously.
A Postcolonial Critique Of Amartya Sen’S Capability Framework, Karl S. Comiling
A Postcolonial Critique Of Amartya Sen’S Capability Framework, Karl S. Comiling
Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia
This paper is a postcolonial critique of Amartya Sen’s capability framework. This is done through first, a consideration of the positive contributions of the capability framework and then, an examination of its inadequacy. The authors argue that while Sen recognizes the importance of building the capability of the poor and promoting participatory freedom, the kind of development he aspires for cannot be fully reached as long as his approach remains within an individualistic capitalist neoliberal framework. Seminal ideas for a re-conception of postcolonial capability building are then offered.

ASA Annual Conference
The geography of the Appalachian region has been defined in many ways, from the extent of its mountains to the extent of its poverty. Appalachia as a community is harder to identify on a map. Ulack and Raitz (1982) found that insiders tend to define it more broadly than outsiders, although there is some agreement by both that the central part of the region is definitely Appalachian. The stereotypical tendency of Appalachians to be “reclusive” or “clannish” (Algeo 2003; Straw 2006) contrasted with the highly public nature of social media suggests that self-identification as physically or culturally part of the …
Examining The Impact Of The Great Recession On The Commuting Patterns Of Workers In West Virginia, Todd Sink, Brian Ceh
Examining The Impact Of The Great Recession On The Commuting Patterns Of Workers In West Virginia, Todd Sink, Brian Ceh
ASA Annual Conference
The Great Recession (2007-2009) continues to effect workers in West Virginia. For many people throughout the state it has become increasingly difficult to not only find a job, but to be hired. People can face job searches that can extend for months, with little or no success. It is not well known, however, if an unfavorable economic climate has caused people to travel farther abroad for employment. This paper uses Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) for the period 2002-2011 from the U.S. Census to evaluate the impact of the Great Recession on the commuting patterns of workers …

A Qualitative Life Course Study: Significant Life Events In The Lives Of Appalachian First-Generation College Graduates, Peggy Henderson Murphy
ASA Annual Conference
Traditionally, the Appalachian region has struggled with poverty and isolation. Although in recent decades many of the outer Appalachian counties have stabilized economically the central region of Appalachia that includes West Virginia, southeastern Ohio and Eastern Kentucky continues to have the highest concentration of distressed and at-risk counties in the country. One of the most effective ways of combating poverty and isolation is through education, yet, educational opportunities for Appalachian youth have been limited. This study used a qualitative approach; six Appalachian youths who had either recently graduated from university or who were in their junior or senior year of …

ASA Annual Conference
Demographic Trends in Appalachia and Implications for Enrollments in Higher Education: The Case of Marshall University Joshua Hagen, James Leonard, and Aaron Nelson Given Appalachia’s relatively depressed economic profile and limited opportunities, especially for young adults, out-migration to other regions has long been a prominent feature of the region. More recently, declining fertility rates have contributed to create a population that increasing skews toward older age groups, both in absolute numbers and as percentages of the total. This demographic dynamic has broad implications for the socio-economic future of the region. Some of these challenges, like coping with health care costs …
"Africa In The Museum: The Politics Of The Display Of African Material Culture At The Field Museum", Kristin Otto
"Africa In The Museum: The Politics Of The Display Of African Material Culture At The Field Museum", Kristin Otto
Africana Studies Student Research Conference (2013-2019)
In this paper, I will analyze how museum exhibitions use material culture to construct and present a narrative about Africa. Exhibiting material culture reflects the power, authority, and ideology of the exhibitor, sometimes at the expense of the displayed culture’s agency in representation. Museums have a particularly infamous history of distorting African culture in exhibits, often validating racist ideologies. Consequently, zealous museum critics have begun to question the relevance of museums in the future public education. The public, however, continues to visit museums and experience exhibits featuring African objects. Based on the challenges and controversies museums exhibiting African objects face …

Stream Turbidity: A Variable To Co-Habitation Of Fish Predators And Prey?, Nicholas Davis, Dr. Ryan Jensen
Stream Turbidity: A Variable To Co-Habitation Of Fish Predators And Prey?, Nicholas Davis, Dr. Ryan Jensen
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Global bio-diversity is being threatened by many different factors. Most of this is man induced. One of these factors is the introduction of non-native organisms to new locations. One hypothesis that explains why some non-native invasive organisms are so successful is that the native organisms have not evolved strategies to effectively interact with the new organism’s strategy (e.g. competition, predation impacts). Essentially, they are unprepared to defend themselves or deal with the novel threat.

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
Theory predicts that neutral genetic variation accumulates within populations to a level determined by gains through mutation and losses by genetic drift. This balance results in a characteristic distribution of allelic variation with the maximum allelic difference determined by effective population size. Here, we report a striking departure from these expectations in the form of allelic dimorphism, observed at the majority of seven loci examined in Perkinsus marinus, an important oyster parasite that causes Dermo disease. DNA sequences were collected from five loci flanking microsatellite repeats and two loci coding for superoxide dismutase enzymes that may mediate the parasite’s interaction …
Recreational Segregation: The Role Of Place In Shaping Communities, Iyshia Michelle Lowman
Recreational Segregation: The Role Of Place In Shaping Communities, Iyshia Michelle Lowman
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Institutionalized racial segregation in the United States has had a significant impact on many aspects of American culture. Segregation was practiced in every aspect of public life, even in areas of recreation. For those labeled as "nonwhite," even going to the beach was legally restricted. The events between the 1950s and 1960s at Homestead Bayfront Beach in Homestead, Florida are evidence that social stratification based on the social categorization of race has a significant effect even today. This research examines how legalized segregation in the past impacted society and contributed to the development of a place and identity at Homestead …
