Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. V. Pritzker, Caitlin Buzzas

Public Land & Resources Law Review

In Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. v. Pritzker, the Ninth Circuit dealt with the conflict of science in making legal and policy decisions. NMFS was held to a stringent mitigation standard to protect marine mammals against the Navy’s use of LFA sonar for military operations. In this decision the court held that agencies are required to apply the least practicable adverse impact on marine mammals in these types of operations and agencies must listen to their own experts when making these decisions.

Sweating The Small Stuff: Linking Plankton To Climate Change, Brian Kim '18 Makes Conncetions, Stephen Collins

Colby Magazine

It takes an expansive mind to connect microscopic marine copepods (certain crustacean plankton) unwittingly chomping on floating microplastics with a bigger picture: the planet’s carbon pump and global climate change. But that’s what Brian Kim ’18 decided to investigate during Jan Plan, working with Bigelow Lab Senior Research Scientist David Fields.

A Slice Of Immortality: Remembering Charles Hartshorne, Donald W. Viney

Faculty Submissions

"A Slice of Immortality: Remembering Charles Hartshorne" is an illustrated record of the author's encounters with Hartshorne during the last two decades of Hartshorne's life and of the denouement of these encounters as the author saw to the publication of some of Hartshorne's works, including the last of his books, Creative Experiencing. The document includes an addendum with a list of Hartshorne's unpublished articles.

Molecular Mechanisms Of Obesity-Induced Osteoporosis And Muscle Atrophy, Bipradas Roy, Mary E. Curtis, Letimicia S. Fears, Samuel N. Nahashon, Hugh M. Fentress

Biology Faculty Research

Obesity and osteoporosis are two alarming health disorders prominent among middle and old age populations, and the numbers of those affected by these two disorders are increasing. It is estimated that more than 600 million adults are obese and over 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide. Interestingly, both of these abnormalities share some common features including a genetic predisposition, and a common origin: bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells. Obesity is characterized by the expression of leptin, adiponectin, interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 10 (IL-10), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), growth hormone (GH), parathyroid …

Weighted-Samgsr: Combining Significance Analysis Of Microarray-Gene Set Reduction Algorithm With Pathway Topology-Based Weights To Select Relevant Genes, Suyan Tian, Howard H. Chang, Chi Wang

Biostatistics Faculty Publications

Background: It has been demonstrated that a pathway-based feature selection method that incorporates biological information within pathways during the process of feature selection usually outperforms a gene-based feature selection algorithm in terms of predictive accuracy and stability. Significance analysis of microarray-gene set reduction algorithm (SAMGSR), an extension to a gene set analysis method with further reduction of the selected pathways to their respective core subsets, can be regarded as a pathway-based feature selection method.

Methods: In SAMGSR, whether a gene is selected is mainly determined by its expression difference between the phenotypes, and partially by the number of pathways to …

Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium Castaneum, Development On Rice Fractions And Oviposition Preference, Brook A. Hale

Student Theses and Dissertations

The red flour beetle (RFB), Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), is a stored-product insect commonly found in rice mills. To understand how RFBs develop on different types of rice fractions occurring in a rice mill, I conducted three studies. I examined egg to adult development on nine rice fractions (rough rice, rice hulls, paddy rice dust, brown rice, rice bran, milled broken kernels, milled whole kernels, milled rice dust and rice flour) and identified brown rice, bran, milled kernels and rice flour were best for development. A second study examined neonate adult development using rice fractions and temperature as variables and found …

Implementing An Mhealth System For Substance Use Disorders In Primary Care: A Mixed Methods Study Of Clinicians’ Initial Expectations And First Year Experiences, Marie-Louise Mares, David H. Gustafson, Joseph E. Glass, Andrew Quanbeck, Helene Mcdowell, Fiona Mctavish, Amy K. Atwood, Lisa A. Marsch, Chanetelle Thomas, Dhavan Shah, Randall Brown, Andrew Isham, Mary Jane Nealon, Victoria Ward

Publications and Research

Background: Millions of Americans need but don’t receive treatment for substance use, and evidence suggests that addiction-focused interventions on smart phones could support their recovery. There is little research on implementation of addiction-related interventions in primary care, particularly in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) that provide primary care to underserved populations. We used mixed methods to examine three FQHCs’ implementation of Seva, a smart-phone app that offers patients online support/discussion, health-tracking, and tools for coping with cravings, and offers clinicians information about patients’ health tracking and relapses. We examined (a) clinicians’ initial perspectives about implementing Seva, and (b) the first …

Graceful Degradation Under Noise On Brain Inspired Robot Controllers, R De Azambuja, Fb Klein, Mf Stoelen, Sv Adams, A Cangelosi

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

How can we build robot controllers that are able to work under harsh conditions, but without experiencing catastrophic failures? As seen on the recent Fukushima’s nuclear disaster, standard robots break down when exposed to high radiation environments. Here we present the results from two arrangements of Spiking Neural Networks, based on the Liquid State Machine (LSM) framework, that were able to gracefully degrade under the effects of a noisy current injected directly into each simulated neuron. These noisy currents could be seen, in a simplified way, as the consequences of exposition to non-destructive radiation. The results show that not only …
