Oak Regeneration In An Eastern Pennsylvania Forest: Is Prescribed Fire Needed?, Samanatha M. Ebert
Oak Regeneration In An Eastern Pennsylvania Forest: Is Prescribed Fire Needed?, Samanatha M. Ebert
The Compass
Fire has shaped the American landscape as much as any other natural or anthropogenic disturbance such as flooding, glaciers, and tornadoes, or logging. Native Americans used fire for thousand of years to facilitate farming, travel, and hunting. Since the 1930s, the United States Forest Service has instituted and maintained a policy of firesuppression. This has changed the composition of American forests allowing shade- tolerant later successional species to thrive, but fire-adapted species are declining. This study establishes a baseline of tree composition of State Game Lands 210 in Dauphin County in Eastern Pennsylvania forest in preparation for the proposed controlled …
Longitudinal Profile And Sediment Mobility As Geomorphic Tools To Interpret The History Of A Fluviokarst Stream System, John Woodside, Eric Wade Peterson, Toby Dogwiler
Longitudinal Profile And Sediment Mobility As Geomorphic Tools To Interpret The History Of A Fluviokarst Stream System, John Woodside, Eric Wade Peterson, Toby Dogwiler
International Journal of Speleology
The complex drainage systems within karst settings can result in atypical longitudinal profiles. Features, such as cave entrances, can be expressed as anomalous ‘bumps’ in the longitudinal profile of a stream if downcutting has continued upstream of the area in which the water is pirated to the subsurface. Horn Hollow, a fluviokarst valley located in Carter Caves State Park Resort in northeastern Kentucky, was examined for these types of features. The objectives of this study were to determine if sediment mobility can be used as a proxy for anomalous areas along the profile of the valley and if detailed cross-sections …

How do rent hikes and labor precarity conspire to reinforce each other against tenants and workers? Samuel Stein explains the mechanisms that link these two trends affecting citizens and calls for a tightening of rent-control laws to stop the spiraling descent of American residents into poverty.
Mentored Student Research In The Study Of Ancient Maize Agriculture In Mesoamerica, Richard E. Terry
Mentored Student Research In The Study Of Ancient Maize Agriculture In Mesoamerica, Richard E. Terry
Journal of Undergraduate Research
For the past two years, Richard Terry, his graduate students, Zachary Larsen and Jacob Horlacher have mentored twenty two undergraduate majors in Environmental Science in the collecting, preparation, and analysis of soil samples from the rural surroundings of ancient Maya cities in Guatemala and Mexico. Corn (called maize in Mesoamerica) has been very important to both the ancient and contemporary Maya. The Maya creation story as recorded in the Popol Vuh tells of the creation of man from the ground maize. Many of the Maya view themselves as “people of the maize”. The actions of planting the seeds, harvesting, preparation …
Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Autoimmune Deficiency Syndrome: A Pathophysiology And Cultural Perspective Of Treatment In Sub-Saharan Africa, Kari N. Stanley
Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Autoimmune Deficiency Syndrome: A Pathophysiology And Cultural Perspective Of Treatment In Sub-Saharan Africa, Kari N. Stanley
Senior Honors Theses
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that attacks the body’s immune system increasing risk for development of opportunistic infections and ultimately acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Without treatment HIV can run its course within 10 years; however, several categories of antiretroviral therapy now exist that have various mechanisms of action designed to stop a patient’s viral load from increasing so rapidly. The prevalence and risk for transmission is highest in Sub-Saharan Africa where resources and access to treatment is limited and underutilized. In order for health care providers to begin changing the statistics, cultural competence must be the foundation …

Parity Of Indigenous And Non-Indigenous Women In Brazil: Does The Reported Number Of Children Born Depend Upon Who Answers National Census Questions?, Ricardo Ventura Santos, João Luiz Bastos, Oswaldo Gonçalves Cruz, Luciene Aparecida Ferreira De Barros Longo, Nancy May Flowers, Nilza De Oliveira Martins Pereira
Publications and Research
Taking parity as the main analytic variable, the objective of this study is to investigate whether the patterns of response to national census questions in Brazil differ when Indigenous and non-Indigenous women are compared, taking into consideration whether the information was provided by the women directly or by a proxy respondent (another household member or a non-resident). We use data on children ever born to Indigenous and non-Indigenous women from two Brazilian regions, the Northeast and the North. Data on the number of household members, total household rooms, interviewee’s color/race, educational attainment, age, parity, and type of respondent were obtained …

Understanding past atmospheric dust variability is necessary to put modern atmospheric dust into historical context and assess the impacts of dust on the climate. In Asia, meteorological data of atmospheric dust is temporally limited, beginning only in the 1950s. High‐resolution ice cores provide the ideal archive for reconstructing preinstrumental atmospheric dust concentrations. Using a ~500 year (1477–1982 A.D.) annually resolved calcium (Ca) dust proxy from a Tibetan Plateau (TP) ice core, we demonstrate the lowest atmospheric dust concentrations in the past ~500 years during the latter twentieth century. Declines in late nineteenth to twentieth century Ca concentrations significantly correspond with …
The Insecurities Of Underdevelopment: Case Studies Of Child Soldiers And Street Children, Victoria Leilani Busse
The Insecurities Of Underdevelopment: Case Studies Of Child Soldiers And Street Children, Victoria Leilani Busse
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
After the Cold War, a paradigm shift occurred in the study of international conflict that led to a move away from traditional state-military centric security to make human beings the referent object of security instead. This paper uses the case studies of Sierra Leonean child soldiers and Brazilian street children to explore the links between human security and development. Children are already a vulnerable population, but they are made more insecure when they live in underdeveloped states. While poverty is a main causal factor in both these phenomena, other variables contribute to these social epidemics such as: weak governing structures, …

Understanding Phylogenies: Constructing And Interpreting Phylogenetic Trees, Joseph L. Staton
Understanding Phylogenies: Constructing And Interpreting Phylogenetic Trees, Joseph L. Staton
Journal of the South Carolina Academy of Science
Interpretation of phylogenetic trees is fundamental in understanding the relationships between organisms, their traits or characteristics, their ecology and even their genomic and developmental biology. As trees appear more often in basic texts, many students, and even their teachers, clearly understand little of how they are constructed and even less about what can be inferred from them about the history of the representatives analyzed. Not only are these trees a source of confusion on what they do tell us, often non-specialists infer things wrongly or, worse, others misuse them in an attempt to negate the validity of evolutionary theory. In …
Der Fall Der Berliner Mauer Und Die Wiedervereinigung Eines Gebrochenes Lands, Hannah Kramer
Der Fall Der Berliner Mauer Und Die Wiedervereinigung Eines Gebrochenes Lands, Hannah Kramer
Undergraduate German Research Conference
Vor fünfundzwanzig Jahren ist die Berliner Mauer gefallen und eine neue Epoche in Deutschland hat begonnen. Die Wiedervereinigung und das Zusammenführen der Volkswirtschaften haben die Ostdeutschen und Westdeutschen in verschiedenen Weisen beeinflusst. Meine Studie untersucht, wie sich die Ostdeutschen und die Westdeutschen persönlich zu dem neu vereinigten deutschen Staat angepasst haben (Jarausch 335). Die Ostdeutschen mussten sich sowohl auf eine neue politische und kulturelle Situation einstellen als auch sich an eine westdeutsche kapitalistische Gesellschaft anpassen. Die Ostdeutschen mussten auch mit dem Verlust ihrer ostdeutschen Identität konfrontieren und viele sind im vereinigten Deutschland arbeitslos geworden. Nach 40 Jahre Kommunismus war es …
Where Do We Develop? Discovering Regions For Urban Investment In Senegal, Derek Doran, Andrew Fox, Veena Mendiratta
Where Do We Develop? Discovering Regions For Urban Investment In Senegal, Derek Doran, Andrew Fox, Veena Mendiratta
Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications
The rate of urbanization in developing countries, defined as the speed with which a population shifts from rural to urban areas, is among the highest in the world. The disproportionate number of citizens that live in a small numbers of cities places incredible pressure on the largest cities in these countries, which may already be faced with limited resources, weak industrialization, and underdeveloped infrastructures. Urban planning researchers as well as policy makers have suggested that governments in developing countries make capital investments within and surrounding smaller cities to attract citizens away from large urban centers, thereby lowering the pressure placed …
The Conflict Between Forum-Selection Clauses And State Consumer Protection Laws: Why Illinois Got It Right In Jane Doe V. Match.Com, Marty Gould
Chicago-Kent Law Review
To what extent can companies “contract out” of state consumer protection statutes through the use of choice of law and forum selection clauses in standard form adhesion contracts? The only court in Illinois to rule on the issue, a state court case dealing with Match.com, held that the Illinois Dating Referral Services Act (IDRSA) voids forum-selection clauses contrary to stated Illinois public policy, as declared by Illinois statutes. Outside of Illinois, however, federal courts have held that the exact same Match.com forum-selection clause was valid and enforceable despite being in direct conflict with similar statutes in other states. These cases …
Cybersecurity And The Future International Competitiveness Of The United States, Tai Gray
Cybersecurity And The Future International Competitiveness Of The United States, Tai Gray
Student Works
Cybersecurity is inseparably connected to the future international competitiveness of the United States and must play a more significant role in both governmental and private spheres of American society. To increase the strength of U.S. cybersecurity and defend against future attacks, the government should devote more resources to providing cybersecurity tools and information to the public, promoting the implementation of secure forms of communication and purchasing, as well as researching and developing both offensive and defensive cyber tools. By focusing efforts on these three key areas, the U.S. government can better prepare for future cyberattacks and minimize risk to both …
Landforms Along The Lower Columbia River And The Influence Of Humans, Charles Matthew Cannon
Landforms Along The Lower Columbia River And The Influence Of Humans, Charles Matthew Cannon
Dissertations and Theses
River systems, such as the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest, USA have been influenced by human activities, resulting in changes to the physical processes that drive landform evolution. This work describes an inventory of landforms along the Columbia River estuary between the Pacific Ocean and Bonneville Dam in Oregon and Washington. Groupings of landforms are assigned to formative process regimes that are used to assess historical changes to floodplain features. The estuary was historically a complex system of channels with a floodplain dominated by extensive tidal wetlands in the lower reaches and backswamp lakes and wetlands in upper reaches. …

Mid-Holocene Speleothem Climate Proxy Records From Florida And Belize, Anna L. Pollock
Mid-Holocene Speleothem Climate Proxy Records From Florida And Belize, Anna L. Pollock
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
As global temperatures rise due to anthropogenic climate change, water resources, thus economies, are threatened. A geologically recent period of increased temperatures is the mid-Holocene and an investigation of its climate may allow for a better understanding of future precipitation and changes to regional water resources. The regions of interest are tropical Northern Central America and subtropical North America with Belize and Florida representing each climate zone. By reconstructing mid-Holocene climate in Florida and Belize, I hope to provide a better understanding of how increased temperatures and a reduced latitudinal temperature gradient impacts both precipitation patterns and variability. Today, drivers …
