Linking Land Use And Water Quality Changes In Lake Maumelle Through Benthic Sediment, Dawn Marie Johnson
Linking Land Use And Water Quality Changes In Lake Maumelle Through Benthic Sediment, Dawn Marie Johnson
Theses and Dissertations
Lake Maumelle is a reservoir in Pulaski County, Arkansas that was finished in 1958 for the purpose of supplying potable water to Little Rock and surrounding areas. It is an oligotrophic, monomictic lake with a generously forested watershed. There has been an increase of urbanization in the watershed which may influence the water quality. This research examines the reservoir's sensitivity to land use/land cover change for the lake by analyzing the benthic sediment. By using multidisciplinary methods, cores were examined using mass accumulation rates, grain size analysis, elemental analysis, phase identification, and diatom identification. Those results were then compared to …

This article compares the International Nursing Association of Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) memberships' thoughts and discussions about the use of simulation for high- stakes evaluation in nursing education to a similar town hall discussion, five years ago. Data on the topic of high-stakes testing were collected through a survey before the INACSL conference in June 2014. During a town hall meeting at the conference, the survey data was presented, attendees shared their thoughts and reacted to prepared comments by selected simulation leaders. Half of the town hall attendees favored high stakes testing before the survey findings and discussion. This …
Backfolding Of Wormlike Chains Confined In Nanochannels, Abhiram Muralidhar, Douglas R. Tree, Kevin D. Dorfman
Backfolding Of Wormlike Chains Confined In Nanochannels, Abhiram Muralidhar, Douglas R. Tree, Kevin D. Dorfman
Faculty Publications
Using pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method (PERM) simulations of a discrete wormlike chain model, we provide compelling evidence in support of Odijk’s prediction of two distinct Odijk regimes for a long wormlike chain confined in a nanochannel. In both cases, the chain of persistence length lp is renormalized into a series of deflection segments of characteristic length D2/3lp1/3, where D is the channel size. In the first (classic) Odijk regime, these deflection segments are linearly ordered. In the second Odijk regime, thin, long wormlike chains can backfold at a length scale quantified by the global persistence length. We …

Raped By The System: A Comparison Of Prison Rape In The United States And South Africa, Alexandra Ashmont
Raped By The System: A Comparison Of Prison Rape In The United States And South Africa, Alexandra Ashmont
Pace International Law Review
The main objective of this article is to create overall awareness and to give people a real sense of the events that go on every day inside prison walls. The article is meant to show people that the way they think about prison and prison rape specifically is severely jaded. What happens behind prison bars should certainly not stay behind prison bars. The stories within this article are unlike any prison rape stories people have heard before. They are harsh, inhumane, and deeply disturbing. The only way to incite change is to open people’s eyes to the true conditions within …

Pace International Law Review
This comment will focus on the role that the principle of common and differentiated responsibilities plays in global climate negotiations under the United Nations Framework on Climate Change and more recent climate negotiations by the Conference of the Parties. More specifically, this comment will focus on the implications this has for developing and developed countries, namely on China and the United States as the two largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world, and as developing and developed countries respectively.
Recognizing Education Rights In India And The United States: All Roads Lead To The Courts?, Ashley Feasley
Recognizing Education Rights In India And The United States: All Roads Lead To The Courts?, Ashley Feasley
Pace International Law Review
The approaches of United States and India take disparate form: India has recognized the right to education and is attempting to implement the right, whereas the United States has not formally recognized the right to education itself but has acknowledged a limited right to educational opportunity, but has implemented some sort of right to education unequally by relying on the states to guarantee and implement some kind of remedy. This paper aims to evaluate the American and Indian approaches towards the right to education. Section II discusses the interrelatedness of social and economic and civil and political rights and the …
Who Is Tending Their Garden? Edible Gardens As A Residential Landscaping Choice, Tenley M. Conway, Kyle Brannen
Who Is Tending Their Garden? Edible Gardens As A Residential Landscaping Choice, Tenley M. Conway, Kyle Brannen
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
Urban residential yards collectively have a significant influence on urban ecosystem conditions. The growing body of research examining residential yards has explored landscaping preferences, presence of different landscape styles, general gardening activity, and the extent and management of lawn grass. To date home-based edible gardens have received little attention within this literature, while the urban agriculture literature that has primarily focused on community garden space, yet many households grown fruits and vegetables at home. This study explores residential (i.e. home-based) edible gardens in relation to household characteristics from the perspective of edible gardens representing one way urban households’ can allocate …
Use Of Urban Tree Canopy Assessments By Localities In The Chesapeake Bay Watershed, Lele L. Kimball, P. Eric Wiseman, Susan D. Day, John F. Munsell
Use Of Urban Tree Canopy Assessments By Localities In The Chesapeake Bay Watershed, Lele L. Kimball, P. Eric Wiseman, Susan D. Day, John F. Munsell
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
Urban tree canopy (UTC) in the Chesapeake Bay watershed (CBW) provides numerous environmental, economic, and societal benefits. UTC assessments use remote sensing technology to deliver a comprehensive spatial snapshot of a locality’s existing UTC. Because UTC assessments delineate the extent and location of tree canopy cover in the context of other land covers (including plantable space), they are important for establishing tree canopy goals, creating and implementing strategies to achieve those goals, and monitoring progress. Over the past decade, UTC assessments have been completed for numerous localities in the CBW as a result of the Chesapeake Bay Program identifying UTC …
Traversing Swanton Road, 17th Ed., James A. West
Traversing Swanton Road, 17th Ed., James A. West
Academic, Government & Associated Organizational Research Resources
Situated at the northwest end of Santa Cruz County and occupying circa 30 square miles of sharply contrasted terrain, the Scott Creek Watershed concentrates within its geomorphological boundaries, at least 10-12% of California's flora, both native and introduced. Paradoxically, the use/abuse that the watershed has sustained over the past 140+ years, has not necessarily diminished the biodiversity and perhaps parallels the naturally disruptive but biologically energizing processes (fire, flooding, landslides and erosion), which have also been historically documented for the area for +60 years. This is an early edition of an extensive document by James A. West. Please visit the …

The Effect Of Music Listening On Cold-Pressor Pain Perception, Tolerance, And Attention, Marlen I. Rodriguez-Wolfe
The Effect Of Music Listening On Cold-Pressor Pain Perception, Tolerance, And Attention, Marlen I. Rodriguez-Wolfe
Open Access Theses
The effect of participant-selected music listening on pain perception, pain tolerance, and attention to pain was evaluated during a cold-pressor pain protocol. Participants (N=50) underwent two, ice-water hand immersions in a music condition and a silence condition. Participants were asked to engage in active music listening of their choice during the cold-pressor music condition. The researcher collected a pain tolerance hand-immersion time, while participants self-reported on pain perception and attention to pain. Results showed that participants reported significantly less pain perception and attention to pain, and greater pain tolerance time under the music condition than in the silence condition. The …

Ending Poverty In Mongolia: From Socialism To Social Development, Richard J. Smith
Ending Poverty In Mongolia: From Socialism To Social Development, Richard J. Smith
Social Work Faculty Publications
While recent literature on social welfare has included Asian countries, less is known about low-income and former socialist countries in Central Asia. This article combines a documentary-historical method with a value-critical approach to analyze Mongolia’s social policy response to poverty. Mongolia is unique in Asia because it transformed from nomadic pastoralism to socialism without a phase of capitalist industrial development. The case study found that Mongolia lost social welfare when it transitioned from socialism, a statist model, to market liberalism and multiparty democracy. In the 21st century, Mongolia has been aspiring to promote social development by redirecting mining revenues to …

Egalitarianism And Animals, Oscar Horta
Egalitarianism And Animals, Oscar Horta
Between the Species
The moral consideration of nonhuman animals and the critique of speciesism have been defended by appeal to a variety of ethical theories. One of the main approaches in moral and political philosophy today from which to launch such a defense is egalitarianism, which is the view that we should aim at favoring the worse off by reducing inequality. This paper explains what egalitarianism is and shows the important practical consequences it has for nonhuman animals, both those that are exploited by humans and those in need of aid in the wild. Egalitarianism implies rejecting speciesism, and in practice it prescribes …

Background: Rheumatic diseases in children are associated with significant morbidity and poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL). There is no health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scale available specifically for children with less common rheumatic diseases. These diseases share several features with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) such as their chronic episodic nature, multi-systemic involvement, and the need for immunosuppressive medications. HRQOL scale developed for pediatric SLE will likely be applicable to children with systemic inflammatory diseases. Findings: We adapted Simple Measure of Impact of Lupus Erythematosus in Youngsters (SMILEY) to Simple Measure of Impact of Illness in Youngsters (SMILY-Illness) and had …

Publications and Research
During ischemic stroke, malfunction of excitatory amino acid transporters and reduced synaptic clearance causes accumulation of Glutamate (Glu) and excessive stimulation of postsynaptic neurons, which can lead to their degeneration by excitotoxicity. The balance between cell death-promoting (neurotoxic) and survival-promoting (neuroprotective) signaling cascades determines the fate of neurons exposed to the excitotoxic insult. The evolutionary conserved Insulin/IGF Signaling (IIS) cascade can participate in this balance, as it controls cell stress resistance in nematodes and mammals. Blocking the IIS cascade allows the transcription factor FoxO3/DAF-16 to accumulate in the nucleus and activate a transcriptional program that protects cells from a range …
