Using Social Media To Assess The Impact Of Weather And Climate On Visitation To Outdoor Recreation Settings, Emily J. Wilkins
Using Social Media To Assess The Impact Of Weather And Climate On Visitation To Outdoor Recreation Settings, Emily J. Wilkins
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
When people post photos on social media, these photos often contain information on the location, time, and date the photo was taken; all of this information is stored as metadata and is often never seen or used by the individuals posting the photos. This information can be used by researchers however, to understand the total number of visitors to parks and protected areas, as well as specific places people visit within those parks and protected areas. The first study in this dissertation reviews all the ways social media has been used to understand visitation and visitors’ experiences in parks. Researchers …
Why Coastal Maine Needs A Wrap Around Drug Court, Haley K. Hunter
Why Coastal Maine Needs A Wrap Around Drug Court, Haley K. Hunter
Ocean and Coastal Law Journal
Opioid use and abuse is a national crisis that has taken its toll on small Maine communities. Among those hardest hit, are the small coastal communities that are the heart of Maines lobster and fishing industries. These areas are remote, and do not have the resources to deal with the opioid crisis as it continues to grow, which could have detrimental effects on an industry that makes up a large part of Maine’s economy. Further, while many lobstermen and fishermen suffer from opioid addiction, very few seek help or treatment for the disease. This comment suggests that the Maine judicial …

Genome-Wide Rnai Screen Of Kinase Pathways Regulating Rrt-1 Constitutive Cytoprotective Gene Expression, Jacob Bowie
Genome-Wide Rnai Screen Of Kinase Pathways Regulating Rrt-1 Constitutive Cytoprotective Gene Expression, Jacob Bowie
Master's Theses
Environmental stress disrupts cellular homeostasis leading to proteostasis disruptions which must be correct by rapid reprogramming of transcription and translation mediated by the translation machinery of which tRNA and aminoacyl tRNA synthetases are particularly important. Our aim in this study was to conduct a genome-wide RNAi kinase screen of a long-lived and stress-resistant rrt-1(gc47) (MC240) C. elegans mutant that constitutively, under naïve conditions, expresses a GFP reporter for gpdh-1, which is required for survival during hypertonic stress, but not expressed under naïve, non-stress conditions. Our approach was to administer RNAi by feeding, and we used 382 RNAi clones, including genome-wide …
East Of Adams, Autumn Walter
East Of Adams, Autumn Walter
Senior Honors Projects
East of Adams is a photography project that explores the conservationist messaging ofAnsel Adams’s historical work and translates this work into shooting the Acadia National Park in Maine. Adams is well known for his documentation of our national parks in the western United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Armed with his large format camera he created his images in order to speak to the importance of conserving the natural beauty ofAmerica’s unique wild lands. Inspired by Adams’s drive to use photography in order tomotivate conservation, East of Adams will focus on similar goals within the Eastern United States at …

Law As Integrity: Chief Justice Mckusick's Common Law Jurisprudence, Eric R. Herlan
Maine Law Review
The Editorial Board and Staff of Volume 43 of the Maine Law Review enthusiastically dedicate this issue to Vincent L. McKusick, Chief Justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. Chief Justice McKusick took the oath of office on September 16, 1977, having been appointed the previous month by Governor James B. Longley, and will retire on February 28, 1992. As the following tributes make clear, the contributions he has made to the betterment of state and national legal institutions during his tenure evidence the same qualities of integrity and excellence that have been the hallmarks of his long and distinguished …

Bloodworm (Glycera Dibranchiata Ehlers, 1868) Populations In The Gulf Of Maine Are Connected Through Gene Flow, Larissa M. Williams, Anna Marie Bowsher, Maria-Anna Chrysovergi, William G. Ambrose Jr.
Bloodworm (Glycera Dibranchiata Ehlers, 1868) Populations In The Gulf Of Maine Are Connected Through Gene Flow, Larissa M. Williams, Anna Marie Bowsher, Maria-Anna Chrysovergi, William G. Ambrose Jr.
All Faculty Scholarship
The polychaete bloodworm, Glycera dibranchiata Ehlers, 1868 is an important source of bait for saltwater fishing and is harvested from mud flats in the Gulf of Maine. Little is known about the life history of G. dibranchiataand management of the fishery is minimal. The goal of our study was to determine the population genetics of several Maine populations in order to inform management. We sequenced the neutral mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) marker in seven populations along the coast of Maine. A total of 486 nucleotides were sequenced in each individual, yielding 13 haplotypes, with 94% of them haploytpe …

Necessary Evil : How Student Loans Are Incorporated Into People's Everyday Lives, Abby J. Stivers
Necessary Evil : How Student Loans Are Incorporated Into People's Everyday Lives, Abby J. Stivers
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Student loan levels in the United States have risen since their inception by the Federal Government in 1958 and they continue to rise today. Economists and the general public are at odds about what this means. The public narrative, as evidenced by news coverage, op-eds, social movements and polling data, suggest that student loans have become a “crisis” that negatively impacts the lives of young Americans. Economists, meanwhile, argue that there is no “crisis” with student loans. They argue instead that the notion of “crisis” is fueled by the fear of the growing dollar amount that student loans represent and …
Hands Off The Wheel: The Role Of Law In The Coming Extinction Of Human-Driven Cars, Tracy Hresko Pearl
Hands Off The Wheel: The Role Of Law In The Coming Extinction Of Human-Driven Cars, Tracy Hresko Pearl
Faculty Articles
Law and technology scholars have been writing about the coming release of fully autonomous vehicles for quite some time, and yet there is a significant gap in that literature. The United States has experienced a technology-driven upheaval in transportation once already, and it did so almost exactly 100 years ago when society transitioned (surprisingly rapidly) from horses to automobiles. No legal scholar has, as of yet, explored that transition at any length and asked what it can teach us about the role law and lawmaking should play in the coming transition between human-driven and fully autonomous vehicles. This is a …

Wildland Fire Disturbance - Recovery Dynamics In Upland Forests At Acadia National Park, Maine, Jessica E. Charpentier
Wildland Fire Disturbance - Recovery Dynamics In Upland Forests At Acadia National Park, Maine, Jessica E. Charpentier
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
The overall goal of this study was to evaluate whether coastal Maine (USA) forests are resilient to changing climate and fire regimes. The occurrence of a catastrophic wildfire at Acadia National Park (ANP) in 1947 provided a unique opportunity to examine the impacts of wildfire on forest dynamics in upland communities of coastal spruce-fir and northern hardwood forests of the Maine coast. This study, conducted 68 years after the stand-replacing 1947 Bar Harbor Fire, builds on studies by W.A. Patterson conducted in 1980 and 1992-1994, 33 and 45-47 years after the fire. There were two lines of investigation in this …
Selling Eden: Economic Development And Conservation In Mount Desert Island And Acadia National Park, Christina Gail Arflack
Selling Eden: Economic Development And Conservation In Mount Desert Island And Acadia National Park, Christina Gail Arflack
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
This history of Mount Desert Island, Maine and Acadia National Park examines the issues and conflicts that arose as Mount Desert Island and the town of Bar Harbor grew from a quiet coastal village into a resort community. By tracing the developmental history of the island, this work places the creation of the national park within the context of decades of preceding development of the community as a tourist attraction. This region, now known for its beauty and the wealthy visitors it draws, hosted competing factions of local citizens and summer residents who often held disparate views regarding the islands …
