An Equity Analysis Of Battery Electric Vehicles During Evacuation Considering Social And Financial Disadvantage, Divyamitra Mishra Apr 2026

An Equity Analysis Of Battery Electric Vehicles During Evacuation Considering Social And Financial Disadvantage, Divyamitra Mishra

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The increasing share of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the transportation system is introducing new challenges to the emergency evacuation planning and management. During Hurricane Milton (2024), incidents involving BEVs, including battery fires, attributed to saltwater exposure risk, and advisories recommending relocation to higher ground, highlighted operational vulnerabilities unique to this technology. These emerging risks are likely to be experienced heterogeneously, as access to charging infrastructure, available resources, and evacuation flexibility varies across the population. This raises critical questions about how BEV-specific constraints interact with existing inequalities during evacuation. Motivated by this context, the dissertation investigated inequity in BEV evacuation …

Fool's Gold: The Stibnite Gold Project, Critical Minerals, And The Public Health Perils Of Antiquated Hardrock Mining Laws, Faith Quigley Apr 2026

Fool's Gold: The Stibnite Gold Project, Critical Minerals, And The Public Health Perils Of Antiquated Hardrock Mining Laws, Faith Quigley

Idaho Law Review

The proposed reopening of the Stibnite Gold Mine in Idaho has been heralded as a model for the future of modern hardrock mining. This project has received national interest in light of the growing domestic demand for critical minerals essential to climate-friendly energy technologies and national security. But beneath its green branding lies a deeper legal and public health crisis. Operating under the General Mining Law of 1872—a relic of frontier-era resource exploitation—the Stibnite Gold Project exemplifies how an outdated legal framework continues to enable environmental and human harm. While policymakers tout the domestic necessity of critical minerals, the Stibnite …


Facing The Accused: The Confrontation Clause And Protecting Child Victims Of Sexual Abuse, Raquel Pearson Apr 2026

Facing The Accused: The Confrontation Clause And Protecting Child Victims Of Sexual Abuse, Raquel Pearson

Idaho Law Review

The Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause provides individuals the right to confront witnesses testifying against them. For decades, Idaho case law has grappled with the delicate balance between protecting victims of sexual assault and upholding defendants’ rights to cross examine their accusers. This delicate balance is further exacerbated when sexual assault cases involve minors, particularly in deciding whether victim statements implicate the Confrontation Clause. The Idaho Supreme Court considers the totality of the circumstances when evaluating whether a defendant’s right to confront a witness has been violated, but the standard for when the Clause is triggered remains unclear.

This Note seeks …

Thyroid Hormone Receptor Alpha In Mitochondrial Transcription, David J. Mahrt Apr 2026

Thyroid Hormone Receptor Alpha In Mitochondrial Transcription, David J. Mahrt

Linfield University Student Symposium: A Celebration of Scholarship and Creative Achievement

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes core proteins in the electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation pathway. The remaining subunits of these protein complexes are encoded in the nuclear genome, translated in the cytosol and imported into mitochondria. Transcription of mtDNA transcription is achieved with three core factors: mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLMRT), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), and mitochondrial transcription factor B2 (TFB2M). Regulation of this process requires additional proteins, and likely transcriptional coordination with the nuclear genome. We propose that the thyroid hormone receptor alpha (THRA) acts to coordinate transcription between the two genomes. The thyroid hormone, triiodothyronine (T3), increases mitochondrial biogenesis …

Re-Purposing Pre-Existing Tilapia Aquaculture Open-Design System For Zebrafish Biomedical Research Purposes, Luke Cantu, David Sierra, Skyleigh Curtis, Maya Avila

ATU Scholars Symposium

Title: Re-purposing pre-existing tilapia open-design aquaculture systems for zebrafish biomedical research purposes.

Background: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) models are gaining popularity in biomedical research; however, the high infrastructure cost, at approximately $20,000 per unit, is a significant hurdle for primary undergraduate institutions (PUIs) establishing zebrafish facilities. This study assesses if repurposing existing tilapia open-design aquaculture systems could be a cost-effective method for zebrafish facility establishment.

Methods: Between November-2025 to February-2026, the study used a pre-existing tilapia aquaculture open-design system with personnel modified outlet filters. The water quality of this system was monitored and recorded. The study compared the stabilization phase or …

Weathering The Storm Online: Risk Communication During The 2026 Arkansas Winter Storm, Latifat A. Sodiya, Takiya Hutchinson

ATU Scholars Symposium

In January 2026, Arkansas experienced a severe winter storm that resulted in extreme low temperatures, ice-covered roads, and social disruption of daily routine of Arkansans. In the Arkansas River Valley, the storm led to the closure of businesses and schools for several days. This study concentrates on risk communication during the 2026 Arkansas Winter Storm and examines how social media was utilized by county emergency management agencies to disseminate risk information during the event. The data for the study was collected from official Facebook accounts of county emergency management agencies for a seven day period (January 21 - 27, 2026) …


Wellbeing And Success: Examining The Experiences Of Neurodiverse College Students, Kate Herrmann, Dr. Michael Bordieri, Phd Apr 2026

Wellbeing And Success: Examining The Experiences Of Neurodiverse College Students, Kate Herrmann, Dr. Michael Bordieri, Phd

Steeplechase: An ORCA Student Journal

Evidence suggests that autistic students are graduating at a lower rate than their neurotypical peers (38.8% vs 52.4%; Jackson et al., 2018). Given this retention concern, colleges should provide services specific to neurodiverse students’ needs and wellbeing, both academically and socially, yet most campus disability resources focus solely on academic support (Jackson et al., 2018; Siew et al., 2017). In recent years, some universities have started adopting programs that target the broader social and emotional needs of neurodiverse students, specifically by fostering community and authenticity (Fotheringham et al., 2023; Siew et al., 2017). Building on recent qualitative findings from neurodiverse …


Conservation Gap Analysis Of The Endemic Flora Of Nevada (U.S.A.)​, Jodi D. Dunn Apr 2026

Conservation Gap Analysis Of The Endemic Flora Of Nevada (U.S.A.)​, Jodi D. Dunn

ATU Scholars Symposium

Introduction. Nevada is the driest state in the U.S. and spans multiple desert and montane biomes, containing over 3,000 species of plants across its varied environmental gradients. Within this flora, 268 species occur as regional endemics, with narrowly restricted distributions contained either fully, mostly, or partly within Nevada’s political boundaries. Preliminary investigation led us to hypothesize that most of the distributions of these rarities occur outside of currently protected areas. Methods. A list of endemic species was derived from the mentor’s work treating all Nevadan plants. Occurrence records with geographic coordinates were extracted into Excel spreadsheets. For occurrences without specified …


Simple D&D: A Web-Based Character Creation System For Dungeons & Dragons, Brennan M. Bondio, Dalton N. Tate, Landon F. Boyd Apr 2026

Simple D&D: A Web-Based Character Creation System For Dungeons & Dragons, Brennan M. Bondio, Dalton N. Tate, Landon F. Boyd

ATU Scholars Symposium

Dungeons & Dragons, published by Wizards of the Coast, is a widely played tabletop role-playing game that requires players to create detailed characters governed by structured rule systems. Character creation involves managing interdependent attributes, calculations, and constraints that can be difficult for new players and time-consuming even for experienced participants. These complexities create a barrier to entry and reduce efficiency during gameplay preparation.

This project addresses that challenge through the development of Simple D&D, a web-based character creation system designed to streamline and automate rule-driven character configuration. The system aims to reduce manual calculation errors and setup time while maintaining …
