Linking The Spatial, Temporal, And Compositional Variability Of Microplastics In The Nearshore Region Of Lake Ontario, Sophie Routenberg

Theses

Microplastic (MP) pollution is one of the most significant environmental issues of the modern era, driven by the persistence of plastic and its rapid accumulation in aquatic environments. MPs (5 mm -1 µm) are now pervasive across global ecosystems, including the Laurentian Great Lakes, which receives an estimated 11,000 tons of plastic debris annually. Despite their prevalence, critical gaps remain in understanding MP input sources, polymer composition, morphological diversity, and spatial and temporal distribution. This study addresses those gaps by quantifying and characterizing the spatial, temporal, and compositional variability of MPs in the nearshore region of Lake Ontario’s Rochester Embayment …

Exploring The Effects Of Anthropogenic Habitat Change On Euplerid Carnivore Occupancy In A Humid Evergreen Forest, South-East Madagascar, C. Cardinal, Timothy M. Eppley, M. Andriamorasata, G. Donati

Anthropology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Mammalian carnivores are vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures, including habitat modifications, disturbance, and the introduction of non‐native species. Forests throughout Madagascar are under persistent pressure from extraction of timber and non‐timber products, and conversion of forest habitat to agriculture. Yet research into the impact of anthropogenic pressures on endemic carnivores is only recent, and relatively little is known about their populations in the extreme south of the island. We sought to explore how disturbance affects the occurrence of small carnivores in lowland humid forests and their varying degrees of adaptability to human‐modified landscapes. To answer this, we conducted exploratory camera trap …

How’S It Growing? Tools For Observing Snow And Sea Ice In A Changing Arctic Ocean, Ian Alexander Raphael

Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations

September Arctic sea ice extent has diminished by roughly 50% in the 45 years since satellite observations began. The Arctic Ocean may experience ice-free summers within the next decade, with implications for habitat, resource extraction, geopolitics, and local and global climate change. To predict how Arctic sea ice will change in the future, we need to understand its behavior in the present. In situ sea ice mass balance measurements (snow accumulation, ice growth, snow and ice surface melt, and bottom melt) are essential for studying the processes driving rapid changes in the ice pack, and for validating remote sensing measurements …

Advancing Novel Contrast Agents For Applications In Fluorescence-Guided Neurosurgery Using Fluorescence Cryotomography, Augustino Vittorio Scorzo

Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations

Fluorescence guided surgery (FGS) is an emerging surgical technique that aims to help surgeons identify tissue types to assist in surgical decision making - ideally providing “cut-by-color” guidance. A primary application for this approach is the identification of tumor tissue to achieve more accurate and complete tumor removal while simultaneously minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissue. The cornerstone of tumor visualization for FGS is the administration of fluorescent contrast agents, or in some cases metabolic precursors, designed to accumulate specifically in tumor tissue, and a wide range of agents that use different targeting mechanisms are currently under investigation. Although these …

The Impact Of Polymycovirus 1 On Aspergillus Fumigatus Pathogenesis During Lung Infection, Alexander W. Rapp

Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations

The genus Aspergillus comprises over 250 species of fungi. Within this genus, only a handful of species cause disease in humans. One species is Aspergillus fumigatus (A.f.), an environmentally ubiquitous, saprophytic fungal pathogen. Lung infections due to A.f. range from invasive infection to allergic forms of the disease. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is one of the most severe forms and presents as a hypersensitivity that often results in off-target damage to the surrounding airways. Patients with ABPA are sensitized to fungal antigens and this is commonly seen in cystic fibrosis and genetic predispositions. Recent data from our lab shown how …

Study Of The Performance Of A Laser Structure Based On A Fiber Ring And A Dual-Bottle Whispering Gallery Mode Microresonator, Anuradha Rout, V.R Anand, Zhe Wang, Zhouchen Wang, Rayhan Habib Jibon, Yuliya Semenova

Research Outputs: 2025-Present

This study examines the impact of a dual-bottle whispering gallery mode (WGM) microresonator on the performance of a laser structure based on a fiber ring, focusing on the modes switching and generating single- and multi-mode emissions. Through experimental analyses, we demonstrate how the unique geometry of dual-bottle resonators affects lasing behavior, providing insights that could advance applications of the proposed laser structure in telecommunications and photonic sensing systems.

The Fangs Of Philosophy: Religious Experience As A Persuasive Device, Lukas A. Dunford

Comparative Literature Undergraduate Senior Theses

The philosophical systems of Plato and Lucretius use the religious experience to compel readers into their distinct philosophical versions of reality. This compulsion is necessary for philosophy. This study’s three philosophical systems reappropriate this experience from the existing structures of religion to violently produce conviction in readers. The religious experience is not window dressing over the arguments of the philosophical systems, but a necessary component that reorients the audience into a new discursive reality. Ultimately, the philosophers we examine will show how the knowledge structure of philosophy becomes able to grip the audience, consuming them into its reality – how …

Magicicada And Mathematics: What The Parochiality Of Our Explanations Means For The Indispensability Argument, Jadyn Malone

Philosophy Senior Theses

This thesis examines whether the indispensability argument justifies belief in the existence of mathematical entities. I adopt ontological naturalism, arguing that we should believe in entities that feature in our best scientific theories, which are determined through inference to the best explanation. The indispensability argument contends that because mathematical entities are explanatorily indispensable to our best scientific theories – as demonstrated by examples like the prime number explanation of cicada life cycles – we should believe they exist just as we believe in electrons and stars.

However, I identify a challenge: our scientific explanations are inherently parochial, shaped by human …

Puppycide By Gavel: How The Judiciary Uses The Police Killing Of Dogs To Reinforce Justifications For Police Violence, Jeremy J. Smith

Qualitative Criminology (QC)

"Police discharge their firearms more often at dogs than humans, and as a profession, kill thousands of dogs every year. The number of dogs killed by police during these encounters has government officials declaring that an “epidemic” is occurring within policing itself, with some commentators referring to this trend as “puppycide” or “canicide.” The purpose of this article is to examine how the judiciary rationalizes canicide, or the police killing of dogs, and the role canicide plays in the justification of police violence. To do this, the article provides a sociolegal and ethnographic content analysis of federal court cases and …

Molecular Mechanisms Of L-Type Calcium Channel Dysregulation In Heart Failure, Arbab Khalid, Abu-Bakr Ahmed, Randeep Gill, Taha Shaikh, Joshua Khorsandi, Ali Kia

Department of Internal Medicine Faculty Research

The L-type calcium channels (LTCCs) function as the main entry points that convert myocyte membrane depolarization into calcium transients, which drive every heartbeat. There is increasing evidence to show that maladaptive remodeling of these channels is the cause of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Recent experimental, translational, and clinical studies have improved our understanding of the roles LTCC expression, micro-domain trafficking, and post-translational control have in disrupting excitation–contraction coupling, provoking arrhythmias, and shaping phenotype specific hemodynamic compromise. We performed a systematic search of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases (2015–2025, …
