An Exploration Of A Year At The Ursinus Food Forest, Victoria Bearden
An Exploration Of A Year At The Ursinus Food Forest, Victoria Bearden
Environment and Sustainability Presentations
The Ursinus Food Forest began a commitment to a new form of sustainable land management at Whittaker Environmental Research Station. This management integrates lessons from urban agriculture, urban forestry, and agroforestry (see Clark & Nichols 2013) with principles of permaculture (Jacke et al 2005). Begun in 2017, and this past fall marked 2 years since the planting of phase one in 2019. In the fall of 2021 students, faculty, facilities, and volunteers planted the second phase of the food forest site, which added 7 new food producing species. Including this, many projects were created to enhance the site throughout the …
Mapping The Impact Of A Trailway System On The Amount Of Trash Present Within Two Watersheds Of Lynchburg City, Virginia, Lillian Smith
Mapping The Impact Of A Trailway System On The Amount Of Trash Present Within Two Watersheds Of Lynchburg City, Virginia, Lillian Smith
Student Scholar Showcase
Transportation of trash debris within water systems is a prominent occurrence which has been linked to natural and artificial processes such as wind, rain, and littering. Recreational areas, such as activities along greenway trails, have been determined to be a source of debris found in waterways. This study examines whether the presence of an established recreational trail system limits trash accumulation in the entirety of a watershed. Trash data collected at Blackwater Creek, which contains an established trail system, was compared to trash data collected at Fishing Creek, containing a non-established trail system, to answer this hypothesis. A distance of …

The Effect Of Nitrate On The Release Of Glucose Into The Hemolymph Of Crayfish, Procambarus Clarkii, Alec R. Flores, Lee Kats, David Green, Gary Bucciarelli
The Effect Of Nitrate On The Release Of Glucose Into The Hemolymph Of Crayfish, Procambarus Clarkii, Alec R. Flores, Lee Kats, David Green, Gary Bucciarelli
Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium
Pollutants can change the behaviors of invertebrate stream animals. The level of one common pollutant, nitrate (NO3), has been rising in many local rivers and streams throughout the United States due to increases in anthropogenic sources. Nitrate, heavily regulated for its toxic effects to human health, namely the aiding in the development of cancer, also dangerously affects aquatic species by converting oxygen-carrying pigments to forms that are incapable of carrying oxygen. To understand the stress effects of ambient nitrate exposure on P. clarkii, we collected hemolymph samples from red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) over a 48-hour period after exposure to …
Radioprotective Effect Of Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) And Some Myriad Enzymes, Nkiru F. Opara Jarlath
Radioprotective Effect Of Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) And Some Myriad Enzymes, Nkiru F. Opara Jarlath
Nkiru Opara
It is observed that vitamin C has similar structure with that of melatonin, from chemistry point of view compounds of similar structure has the same chemical properties but different physical properties. This is a research on the radioprotective effect of vitamin C / glutathione and some free radical scavengers. Radiation in human body is a process where energy emitted by one body travels in a straight line through a medium or through space. It is energy in the form of particles or waves. It is emitted naturally in sunlight and is also made by man for use in X-rays, cancer …
