Nutritional Strategies For Nurses In A Fast Paced Occupation, Zachary Christman Jan 2020

Nutritional Strategies For Nurses In A Fast Paced Occupation, Zachary Christman

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The foundation of the medical system are the nurses and certified medical assistants. Their personal health condition affects how well diseases and other medical conditions are handled. This article will begin with an overview of the eating behavior of nurses. Three different interventions which have been shown effective in a fast paced workplace are presented in order to improve the health of nurses and certified medical assistants. The first intervention is organizational changes that would increase the amount of time nursing staff have to eat. The second is the use of a messenger bag delivery system to provide needed food, …


Shrimp Farming In Thailand: A Pathway To Sustainability, Warinyupa Phornprapha Jan 2020

Shrimp Farming In Thailand: A Pathway To Sustainability, Warinyupa Phornprapha

Pomona Senior Theses

Throughout this thesis I have laid out several factors that have contributed to the sustainability of shrimp farming in Thailand, and if sustainability whilst maintaining production can ever be achieved. To find out the current situation of shrimp farming in Thailand, the history of global and Thai shrimp farming is described. The social and environmental problems of the unsustainable history of shrimp farming in Thailand is then considered. Solutions to these effects conclude that it is up to the consumer to demand for better regulations from the government and the shrimp companies to ensure a sustainable future for shrimp farming …

Situating Asian American Environmental (In)Justices Through Radical History Walking Tours, Yuxin Zhou Jan 2020

Situating Asian American Environmental (In)Justices Through Radical History Walking Tours, Yuxin Zhou

Pomona Senior Theses

By analyzing two radical history walking tours in Seattle, WA, and Berkeley, CA, this thesis aims to examine how Asian American communities can find their places in the U.S. environmental movement. I argue that these walking tours provide generative pedagogical tools to engage the general public to unpack the complex Asian American history embedded within urban spaces. I also articulate how these walking tours have the capacity to situate environmental struggles and activism within urban spaces, illustrating that various Asian American social and political activism has always been addressing environmental concerns. Furthermore, I argue that these walking tours of Asian …


Enlivening Spaces For The Dead: The Relevance Of Cemeteries In The 21st Century, Caroline Koh Smith Jan 2020

Enlivening Spaces For The Dead: The Relevance Of Cemeteries In The 21st Century, Caroline Koh Smith

Pomona Senior Theses

Current cemetery practices can be harmful to public health and local ecologies and be intensive users of resources such as water and energy. However, given their spiritual benefits to mourners and community members, I believe that cemeteries are still justified in their construction for societies that wish to have a relationship with their dead. With a growing and aging population, more spaces will be used to house the dead; I examined how these could spaces benefit the living as well. Cemeteries can be designed within natural systems, both in landscaping and in burial, as well as spaces for communities and …


Short-Term Estimate Of Finfish Bycatch Discards In The Inshore Artisanal Shrimp Fishery Of Guyana, Leanna Kalicharan, Hazel A. Oxenford Jan 2020

Short-Term Estimate Of Finfish Bycatch Discards In The Inshore Artisanal Shrimp Fishery Of Guyana, Leanna Kalicharan, Hazel A. Oxenford

Gulf and Caribbean Research

The artisanal shrimp fishery in Guyana is important for livelihood and food security, involving around 300 vessels owned and crewed exclusively by Guyanese nationals. This fishery uses Chinese seines and operates in major river estuaries. It targets penaeid shrimp, but also retains some finfish and is known to discard a significant but undocumented quantity of smaller finfish bycatch. The lack of knowledge regarding the bycatch is a concern for fishery management and biodiversity conservation. In this study, we quantify for the first time the finfish bycatch discards through onboard observations (July—August 2016) of a single typical vessel operating in the …


Gulf Coast Marine Laboratories Past, Present And Future, Donald F. Boesch Jan 2020

Gulf Coast Marine Laboratories Past, Present And Future, Donald F. Boesch

Gulf and Caribbean Research

I spent my nearly 50—year career in marine science working at marine laboratories, most of that as a chief executive officer. So, it is appropriate that my reflections are about marine laboratories, rather than my own science. After relating my career course, I turn my attention to the history and development of marine laboratories along the U.S. coast of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Surprisingly, the region’s first laboratory was actually constructed in 1903 at Cameron, LA, but operated less than a decade before closing. It was not until after World War II that the university—affiliated marine laboratories of today …


Exploring Scale In Ocean And Coastal Governance In The Wider Caribbean, Robin C. Mahon Jan 2020

Exploring Scale In Ocean And Coastal Governance In The Wider Caribbean, Robin C. Mahon

Gulf and Caribbean Research

An early childhood attraction to the sea led to a career in marine ecology, fisheries and ocean and coastal governance. This paper tracks the development of my career from tertiary education, through a variety of jobs and positions with government, private sector, international and academic organizations. These positions took me from national to regional levels of governance, then down to local levels and ultimately back up to regional and global levels. At each stage new concepts join those already there to build what is ultimately a multilevel perspective on ocean and coastal governance. This perspective is built around ideas of …


Habitat Characterization Of Juvenile Atlantic Tarpon (Megalops Atlanticus) In Isle Of Youth, Cuba, Zenaida M. Navarro-Martínez, Jorge Angulo-Valdés, Lisandra García-Córdova, Aaron Adams Jan 2020

Habitat Characterization Of Juvenile Atlantic Tarpon (Megalops Atlanticus) In Isle Of Youth, Cuba, Zenaida M. Navarro-Martínez, Jorge Angulo-Valdés, Lisandra García-Córdova, Aaron Adams

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Tarpon is considered a ‘Vulnerable’ species by IUCN but is also a highly prized recreational species. It is reportedly abundant in Cuba and may be threatened by high levels of fishing pressure. However, the current knowledge about Tarpon habitat characteristics and ecology in Cuba is very poor, which limit any attempt for its management and conservation. Here we summarize abiotic characteristics of juvenile Tarpon habitats in Lanier Swamp, Isle of Youth, Cuba, which is a RAMSAR site and Faunal Refuge. Three locations in Lanier Swamp were sampled for juvenile Tarpon presence during 2015-2017: Colony Lagoon (CL), Punta Francés Lagoon (PFL) …

Zárate Arévalo, Jaime Rojas, Otto Reyes, Milena Marrugo, Maria Rosa, Israel A. Caicedo Torrado, Diana Tarazona, Carlos Zuluaga

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Estimates of Colombian Caribbean coral percent cover in the Southern Caribbean are consistent with those throughout the Caribbean Sea, which has declined to about 10% of historical levels in the last few decades. Human activities like destructive fishing techniques in the marine parks have degraded the reefs over the last few decades. Colombia’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have thousands of square kilometers to map and patrol and few resources to devote to scientific and restoration efforts. Efforts to implement sexual reproduction techniques for restoration are starting to successfully propagate and settle corals on ceramic plates for reef deployment in the …


Size At Maturation, Spawning Variability And Fecundity In The Queen Conch, Aliger Gigas, Richard S. Appeldoorn Jan 2020

Size At Maturation, Spawning Variability And Fecundity In The Queen Conch, Aliger Gigas, Richard S. Appeldoorn

Gulf and Caribbean Research

The queen conch (Aliger gigas) resource is one of the most important in the Caribbean. While aspects of queen conch reproduction have been studied, e.g., size—at—maturity, spawning season, and density—based Allee effects, there is little information on other important aspects. From 210 lipped queen conch collected off southwest Puerto Rico, histological examination of gonads showed that 50% maturation occurred at 9 mm lip thickness. Experimental caged queen conch held on a natural spawning ground were monitored across the spawning season to evaluate fecundity and its variability across individuals and between nominal density treatments (2,000 vs 143 conch/ha). Near …


Diet Of The Blacktip Shark (Carcharhinus Limbatus) In The Northwestern Gulf Of Mexico, Sarah R. Alewijnse, R. J. David Wells Jan 2020

Diet Of The Blacktip Shark (Carcharhinus Limbatus) In The Northwestern Gulf Of Mexico, Sarah R. Alewijnse, R. J. David Wells

Gulf and Caribbean Research

The stomach contents of 90 Blacktip Shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) specimens caught in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) were examined. Stomach contents were identified to the lowest possible taxon, and quantified using percent weight, percent number, percent frequency of occurrence, and percent index of relative importance (IRI). Teleosts were the dominant prey group (98.95% IRI), although most were unidentified (61.70% IRI). Of identified teleost species, Atlantic Croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) (28.43% IRI), and Gulf Menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) (2.31% IRI) were the most important. Crustaceans (0.65% IRI), mollusks (0.46% IRI), and elasmobranchs (0.03% IRI) formed a minor …


Pelagic Sargassum Prediction And Marine Connectivity In The Tropical Atlantic, Donald R. Johnson, James S. Franks, Hazel A. Oxenford, Shelly-Ann L. Cox Jan 2020

Pelagic Sargassum Prediction And Marine Connectivity In The Tropical Atlantic, Donald R. Johnson, James S. Franks, Hazel A. Oxenford, Shelly-Ann L. Cox

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Since 2011, pelagic Sargassum has experienced extraordinary blooms in the Tropical Atlantic where a system of persistent but seasonally variable currents has retained and consolidated it in large masses. Although beneficial at sea, principally as a unique pelagic habitat, when Sargassum inundates the nearshore environment it can have catastrophic effects on tourism, fisheries, health, and local ecosystems. Providing advanced warning of arrival dates of large masses of Sargassum is critical for enabling preparations and planning for its removal, use, and mitigation. Predictions of arrival time and location involve satellite identification of Sargassum at sea together with ocean current data for …

Digital Hurewicz Theorem And Digital Homology Theory, Samira Sahar Jamil, Danish Ali Jan 2020

Digital Hurewicz Theorem And Digital Homology Theory, Samira Sahar Jamil, Danish Ali

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we develop homology groups for digital images based on cubical singular homology theory for topological spaces. Using this homology, we obtain two main results that make this homology different from already existing homologies of digital images. We prove digital analog of Hurewicz theorem for digital cubical singular homology. We also show that the homology functors developed in this paper satisfy properties that resemble the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms of homology theory, in particular, the homotopy and the excision axioms. We finally define axioms of digital homology theory.


$Q$-Analogues Of Five Difficult Hypergeometric Evaluations, Xiaojing Chen, Wenchang Chu Jan 2020

$Q$-Analogues Of Five Difficult Hypergeometric Evaluations, Xiaojing Chen, Wenchang Chu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A nonterminating balanced $q$-series is examined by means of the modified Abel lemma on summation by parts that leads to $q$-analogues of five difficult identities for classical hypergeometric series, including three formulae conjectured by Gosper in 1977.


The Möbius Transformation Of Continued Fractions With Bounded Upper And Lower Partial Quotients, Wencai Liu Jan 2020

The Möbius Transformation Of Continued Fractions With Bounded Upper And Lower Partial Quotients, Wencai Liu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $h$: $x\mapsto \frac{ax+b}{cx+d} $ be the nondegenerate Möbius transformation with integer entries. We get a bound of the continued fraction of $h(x)$ by upper and lower bounds of the continued fraction of $x$.


Higher-Order Character Dedekind Sum, Mümün Can Jan 2020

Higher-Order Character Dedekind Sum, Mümün Can

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we are interested in higher-order character Dedekind sum% \[ \sum\limits_{v=0}^{ck-1}\chi_{1}\left( v\right) \mathcal{B}_{p,\chi_{2}% }\left( a\frac{v+z}{c}+x\right) \mathcal{B}_{q}\left( b\frac{v+z}% {ck}+y\right) ,\text{ }a,b,c\in\mathbb{N} \text{ and }x,y,z\in\mathbb{R}, \] where $\chi_{1}$ and $\chi_{2}$ are primitive characters of modulus $k,$ $\mathcal{B}_{p}\left( x\right) $ and $\mathcal{B}_{p,\chi_{2}}\left( x\right) $ are Bernoulli and generalized Bernoulli functions, respectively. We employ the Fourier series technique to demonstrate reciprocity formulas for this sum. Derived formulas are analogues of Mikolas' reciprocity formula. Moreover, we offer Petersson--Knopp type identities for this sum.


Star Versions Of The Hurewicz Basis Covering Property And Strong Measure Zero Spaces, Manoj Bhardwaj, Alexander Osipov Jan 2020

Star Versions Of The Hurewicz Basis Covering Property And Strong Measure Zero Spaces, Manoj Bhardwaj, Alexander Osipov

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper,we introduced the star version of the Hurewicz basis covering property,studied by Babinkostova, Ko?cinac, and Scheepers in 2004. The authors obtained the relationship between star-selection principles and the star version of the Hurewicz basis covering property for metrizable spaces. We also consider the star version of Hurewicz measure zero spaces and characterized these new spaces by the star-selection principle related to star-Hurewicz spaces.


Pell-Lucas Collocation Method To Solve High-Order Linear Fredholm-Volterra Integro-Differential Equations And Residual Correction, Şuayi̇p Yüzbaşi, Gamze Yildirim Jan 2020

Pell-Lucas Collocation Method To Solve High-Order Linear Fredholm-Volterra Integro-Differential Equations And Residual Correction, Şuayi̇p Yüzbaşi, Gamze Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, a collocation method based on Pell-Lucas polynomials is studied to numerically solve higher order linear Fredholm-Volterra integro differential equations (FVIDE). The approximate solutions are assumed in form of the truncated Pell-Lucas polynomial series. By using Pell-Lucas polynomials and relations of their derivatives, the solution form and its derivatives are brought to matrix forms. By applying the collocation method based on equally spaced collocation points, the method reduces the problem to a system of linear algebraic equations. Solution of this system determines the coefficients of assumed solution. Error estimation is made and also a method with the help …


Analytic Functions Associated With Cardioid Domain, Sarfraz Nawaz Malik, Mohsan Raza, Janusz Sokol, Saira Zainab Jan 2020

Analytic Functions Associated With Cardioid Domain, Sarfraz Nawaz Malik, Mohsan Raza, Janusz Sokol, Saira Zainab

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, we define and study new domain for analytic functions which is named as cardioid domain for being of cardioid structure. Analytic functions producing cardioid domain are defined and studied to some extent. The Fekete-Szegö inequality is also investigated for such analytic functions.
