An Exploration Of The Public Lands: Kaibab National Forest, Glen Canyon Nra, Zion National Park, And Desert Nwr, Patrick Tobin Feb 2026

An Exploration Of The Public Lands: Kaibab National Forest, Glen Canyon Nra, Zion National Park, And Desert Nwr, Patrick Tobin

CAFE Symposium 2026

An exploration of a few of America's public lands shows how our views on nature can shape how and why we protect lands. In the Southwest, we see the ideas of "nature as commodity" and "nature as pristine and unchanging" pop up time and again. These main ideas are necessary in how we view the public lands, and how we enjoy them.

Paternalism Vs. Progress: Chile Under Michelle Bachelet, Sasha Ilchenko Feb 2026

Paternalism Vs. Progress: Chile Under Michelle Bachelet, Sasha Ilchenko

CAFE Symposium 2026

Following the end of Pinochet's dictatorial rule of Chile, the country became a presidential system in which voters could elect their representatives. Michelle Bachelet was elected as Chile's first female president in 2006, and, in 2014, she was reelected for a second term. I aim to compare how her gender influenced her policymaking decisions and the public's reaction to her presidency as well as how those two themes differed between Bachelet's two terms.

Post-Traumatic Stress And Post-Traumatic Growth: A Literary Lens On Trauma, Meaning, And Survival, Audrey Gruben Feb 2026

Post-Traumatic Stress And Post-Traumatic Growth: A Literary Lens On Trauma, Meaning, And Survival, Audrey Gruben

CAFE Symposium 2026

This project examines how literature provides insight into these differing trauma responses by comparing Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl and Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Drawing on contemporary psychological frameworks of PTSD and PTG, this analysis argues that psychological distress and growth are not mutually exclusive responses to trauma. Instead, they can coexist along a spectrum shaped by meaning-making, responsibility, avoidance, and engagement with suffering.

Hercules In Myth And Animation: Masculinity And Heroism, Noah Bautista Feb 2026

Hercules In Myth And Animation: Masculinity And Heroism, Noah Bautista

CAFE Symposium 2026

Disney's Hercules is a model man in today's society who combines the best aspects of both masculinity and femininity. In the myths, however, Hercules was much different and did not act as such a bridge between femininity and masculinity at the time. Through other scholarly works, the way that masculinity, heroism, and instrumentalization are presented and used is examined. Mythological Herakles is found to be a much more aggressive archetype of a man rather than Hercules, who is based upon strength in moderation and a more social society. Each fit into the ideals of the society they come from, perpetuating …

Longest Marriage In The World: Is Chocolate The Secret To Love?, Simon Brown Feb 2026

Longest Marriage In The World: Is Chocolate The Secret To Love?, Simon Brown

CAFE Symposium 2026

Although chocolate has always represented love in some facets, its expression has manifested into something poetic since its founding over 50 centuries ago. This poeticizing of chocolate's relationship with love was formed through the transportation of chocolate from Mesoamerica to Europe, and Europe to America. Whether it’s through Valentines Day, forgiveness gifts, or just a sweet treat added to a nice card, chocolate has become a token of appreciation usable for almost every occasion. Examining the timeline of affection created through both cacao and chocolate, this paper will explore chocolates’ transition from a food of lust to a gift of …

Beyond The Chessboard: How Chess Participation Can Improve Cognitive Performance, Siddiquee Siyam Feb 2026

Beyond The Chessboard: How Chess Participation Can Improve Cognitive Performance, Siddiquee Siyam

CAFE Symposium 2026

When I arrived at Gettysburg College, it was quite disappointing to me as a chess enthusiast that there was no platform to unite all players on campus. I took the initiative to address this issue by establishing the Gettysburg College Chess Federation (GCCF), only to realize that the GCCF’s activities could also be expanded to address a broader issue. With my first-year seminar (FYS) focusing on changemaking, I decided to turn my passion into my class project, implementing concrete work beyond the theoretical arena to not only promote chess on campus but also to start a teaching program with K-6 …

Life Beyond The Set: A Philosophical Analysis Of Existentialism In The Truman Show, Sharlene Almanzar Feb 2026

Life Beyond The Set: A Philosophical Analysis Of Existentialism In The Truman Show, Sharlene Almanzar

CAFE Symposium 2026

This paper aims to examine The Truman Show (1998) through the existentialist ideas of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, with particular attention to his concepts of freedom, bad faith, and self-creation, while also exploring the existentialist themes previously articulated by philosophers such as Nietzsche and Kierkegaard. The Truman Show serves as an allegory of existential freedom, demonstrating throughout that individuals are not born with an innate, fixed nature, but rather continually define themselves through their choices, ultimately illustrating Sartre’s principle that “existence precedes essence”. The concluding realization of the main character, Truman Burbank, that his world is an elaborate illusion embodies that …

Hydrangeas And Its Cultural Significance At Gettysburg College, Lyz An Feb 2026

Hydrangeas And Its Cultural Significance At Gettysburg College, Lyz An

CAFE Symposium 2026

Hydrangeas, along with many other botanical plants, are often taken for granted. While originally used for landscaping methods, they also teach us the importance of warmth and influence the way we feel about certain environments in which they grow in. At Gettysburg College, these hydrangeas may not be intentionally grown at specific locations but play a dominant role in the way we connect with it.

Comparing Sociological Suicide Studies In The 1800s To Psychological Suicide Studies Now, Amanda Mic Feb 2026

Comparing Sociological Suicide Studies In The 1800s To Psychological Suicide Studies Now, Amanda Mic

CAFE Symposium 2026

Sociology can look at the numbers and explain to us the physical, concrete facts about when, where, and how suicides happen, but psychology gives us an explanation as to why it happens. This project looks into the ways that 19th century societal stigmas around suicide caused inaccuracies in the statistics that sociologists studied, and therefore their findings, as well as the abundance of discoveries on suicide and mental conditions by psychologists in more recent times.

Music As Memory And Narrative In American Graffiti And Dazed And Confused, Jacob Tone Feb 2026

Music As Memory And Narrative In American Graffiti And Dazed And Confused, Jacob Tone

CAFE Symposium 2026

This poster explores how George Lucas’s American Graffiti (1973) and Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused (1993) utilize popular music as a narrative tool to define the evolution of American youth culture. By examining the shift from the unified, diegetic radio culture of 1962 to the fragmented, ironic rock pastiche of 1976, the research highlights how Lucas creates a "communal identity" rooted in sincerity while Linklater captures the "disillusionment" of a generation adrift. Ultimately, the study demonstrates that these soundtracks are not mere background elements but serve as vital cultural archives that mediate between history and cinematic memory, shaping the way …

Prediction Of Transmission Line Icing In Micrometeorological Areas Based On Rf-Gswoa-Svrm, Wei Zhang, Xingjie Liu, Rui Huang, Yizhou Rao, Jianning Liu, Dan Chen Feb 2026

Prediction Of Transmission Line Icing In Micrometeorological Areas Based On Rf-Gswoa-Svrm, Wei Zhang, Xingjie Liu, Rui Huang, Yizhou Rao, Jianning Liu, Dan Chen

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

The transmission lines in the micrometeorological area are more prone to icing, so it is extremely destructive to the safe operation of the power grid system. In view of the characteristics that icing monitoring data in micrometeorological areas is scarce, and interference is strong, RF-GSWOA-SVRM, a prediction method for transmission line icing in micrometeorological areas based on random forest (RF), global search whale optimization algorithm (GSWOA), and support vector regression machine (SVRM), is proposed to improve the accuracy of icing prediction. Firstly, the RF algorithm is used to extract the correlation between transmission line icing and micrometeorological data, thereby reducing …

Phase Selection Capacity Recovery Strategy For Full-Scale New Energy Grid Based On Coordinated Control And Protection, Lin Zhang, Hongbin Wang, Xun Chen, Xiangning Lin, Zhengtian Li, Fanrong Wei

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

The negative-sequence suppression control strategy and low-voltage ride-through control strategy are adopted when the inverter-based power supply fails, which leads to a serious inequality between the distribution coefficients of positive- and negative-sequence currents at the energy storage station side in a full-scale new energy system, resulting in incorrect phase selection of the phase current difference mutation element. Based on the fault sequence component network, the constraint condition for the correct phase selection of the phase current difference mutation element is derived. A phase selection performance recovery scheme based on fault component regulation is proposed, which can eliminate the degradation of …

Stability Analysis Of Fractional-Frequency Offshore Wind Power System Based On Lyapunov Energy Function, Yumeng Jiang, Peiyang He, Ruanming Huang, Wei Xie, Chen Qian, Boyang Zhao, Yongqing Meng

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

The fractional-frequency transmission method has become an important solution for large-scale long-distance offshore wind power collection and transmission due to its advantages in transmission losses and construction costs compared with power frequency and direct current transmission methods. However, the stability research of fractional-frequency offshore wind power systems, especially the analysis under the background of typical large disturbances in system operation, is lacking. A high-order nonlinear state space model of the fractional-frequency offshore wind power system is proposed, and the sector-based nonlinear method is used to deal with the high-order nonlinear part of the model; the Lyapunov energy function of the …

Evaluation Of Impact Of High-Energy-Consuming Industries On Carbon Emissions And Carbon Market Based On Neural Ode-Cge Model, Chengjun Huo, Xueting Cheng, Jinkui Liu, Peng Zou, Jun Wan, Jia Wu

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

High-energy-consuming industries represent the primary source of carbon emissions in China, which makes the reduction of their carbon emissions a critical priority for the country's carbon emission reduction efforts. However, due to the lack of robust carbon emission constraint mechanisms targeting these industries, their motivation for emission reduction remains significantly insufficient. To address this issue, this paper proposes a simulation method that integrates neural ordinary differential equations (Neural ODE) with a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. Using input-output data from 2022 at the national and provincial levels, this method constructs a baseline scenario and three emission reduction scenarios to assess …

Optimization Of Lightning Impulse Grounding Performance Of Claw-Shaped Tower Grounding Device, Zhanglei Chen, Tingfang Yang, Chao Zhuo, Gaojia Li, Minghao Feng, Xiong Li

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

Transmission line towers are prone to lightning strikes. When the grounding resistance of a tower is too high, the fault rate of the line is increased. To effectively reduce the lightning impulse grounding resistance of typical grounding devices and guide the grounding design of transmission line towers, a composite grounding device consisting of a typical tower foundation combined with a claw-shaped grounding body is proposed. A model of the claw-shaped grounding device is established using CDEGS software, and its time-domain impulse response characteristics are analyzed while considering the soil spark effect. Quantitative comparisons of the impulse grounding resistance of the …

Anomaly Sound Detection Of High-Voltage Shunt Reactors Based On Soft-Constrained Latent Regularized Adversarial Learning, Zhihong Wang, Fuqiang Xiong, Jiawen Zuo, Mingzhu Tang, Jianjun Zhang, Xingyu Tang Feb 2026

Anomaly Sound Detection Of High-Voltage Shunt Reactors Based On Soft-Constrained Latent Regularized Adversarial Learning, Zhihong Wang, Fuqiang Xiong, Jiawen Zuo, Mingzhu Tang, Jianjun Zhang, Xingyu Tang

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

With the widespread application of high-voltage shunt reactors in power systems, abnormal phenomena arising during their operation have attracted increasing attention. In existing latent regularization adversarial anomaly detection (LRAAD) methods, the hyperparameter M imposes a hard constraint on the upper bound of the KL divergence of generator-produced spectrograms, which hampers the model's ability to effectively distinguish normal from abnormal data in the latent space, leading to training instability and degraded anomaly detection performance. To address this issue, this paper proposes a soft-constrained latent regularization adversarial anomaly detection (Soft-LRAAD) method. The proposed method introduces a soft constraint loss to replace the …

Depression, Education, And Quality Of Life In Women With Endometriosis, Ria N. Gajar Feb 2026

Depression, Education, And Quality Of Life In Women With Endometriosis, Ria N. Gajar

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecologic condition associated with substantial physical, psychological, and social burden, and depressive symptoms are consistently linked to poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among affected women. However, limited population-based research has examined how depressive symptoms intersect with social factors. Guided by Engel’s biopsychosocial model, nationally representative data from the 2005–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)—the most recent cycle to include an item on endometriosis diagnosis—were analyzed among U.S. women with self-reported endometriosis (N = 4,137). Complex samples logistic regression models were used to examine associations between depressive symptoms and HRQoL across general, physical, and …
