- Correlation between size and home range of Agama agama africana.
- Abstract/Description
-
Agama agama africana is a lizard originally found in sub-Saharan Africa. Typically, it is found in urban and suburban areas and certain wildlands of Africa. This lizard was first noted in 1983 in Florida by L. D. William and L. Portis. It is believed that the Florida populations of these lizards are a result of intentional release and from damage done to exotic reptile businesses during Hurricane Andrew. Other researchers have documented that this species of lizard has a territory range that...
Show moreAgama agama africana is a lizard originally found in sub-Saharan Africa. Typically, it is found in urban and suburban areas and certain wildlands of Africa. This lizard was first noted in 1983 in Florida by L. D. William and L. Portis. It is believed that the Florida populations of these lizards are a result of intentional release and from damage done to exotic reptile businesses during Hurricane Andrew. Other researchers have documented that this species of lizard has a territory range that it aggressively defends against when other males challenge the territory. The behavior of the lizard was the focus for this study. Data was collected in areas throughout Jensen Beach and Stuart, Florida where populations are prevalent. Five males of A. a. africana were caught, marked with nail polished, and measured. Once released, three of these males and one uncaught male were observed from a distance while their movement and activity were recorded. Measurements were then taken of the lizards’ movement and the total area was calculated using an online irregular polygon calculator. Due to the small sample size, the results were inconclusive for a relationship between lizard size and home range area.

Show moreThe Smithsonian Marine Ecosystems Exhibit’s mission is, “To inspire appreciation and understanding of the importance and complexity of marine ecosystems and the process of science through engaging exhibits, meaningful education, and the dissemination of Smithsonian Marine Station research.” Starting from the bottom of the food web, the exhibit recreates habitats for their resident organisms. Healthy phytoplankton cultures feed the oysters’ and their reefs’ filter feeding inhabitants like feather duster worms, sponges, and tunicates. Phytoplankton also plays a key role in maintaining water quality by consuming nitrates and phosphorous. This project focused on and tested different light sources in order to maximize phytoplankton production. Successful maintenance of Isochrysis galbana made it possible to replicate and thoroughly test phytoplankton production in relation to the light spectrum. Nannochloropsis oculata and Chaetocerous gracilis were unsustainable and must be further assessed for harmful cellular organisms specific to these species, contamination, and other variables that may be attributing to cell culture crashing.

- Does Obesity Contribute to Poor Eyelid Laxity?.
- Abstract/Description
-
Eyelid laxity is a clinical term, which refers to the lower and/or upper eyelids containing less elastin and collagen than normal, thus appearing loose and droopy. This condition causes irritation, excessive tearing, and redness that may contribute to dry eye syndrome. Many factors are believed to cause eyelid laxity, such as smoking and excessive sun exposure. A study was conducted to see whether a high body mass index (BMI) was a factor in eyelid laxity. This study focused on subjects’ age...

This condition causes irritation, excessive tearing, and redness that may contribute to dry eye syndrome. Many factors are believed to cause eyelid laxity, such as smoking and excessive sun exposure. A study was conducted to see whether a high body mass index (BMI) was a factor in eyelid laxity. This study focused on subjects’ age ranging between 20-85 years old. Each subject lacked visible facial nerve palsy and eyelid trauma that can influence accurate laxity measurements. It was unknown if patients had previous eyelid surgery, which may also affect measurements due to laxity correction. Upon acquiring consent, a Blephometer was prepared for taking eyelid measurements. Fluress was instilled in the patients’ eyes to temporarily numb them, and eyelid measurements were observed and recorded. Preliminary data indicated that eyelid laxity measurements of patients with a higher BMI were significantly worse than patients with a healthy BMI.

- Does Sleeping Position Negatively Affect Eyelid Laxity?.
- Abstract/Description
-
Eyelid laxity is a condition where the eyelid connective tissue loses elasticity, which leads to malposition of the lids and ocular surface discomfort. An increase in eyelid laxity can occur with age and environmental factors. Patients were selected randomly from a general optometric practice with an age range of 20-85 years. Exclusion criteria included facial nerve palsy and a history of eyelid surgery or trauma. Patients were asked about their sleeping position, smoking history, UV exposure...
Show moreEyelid laxity is a condition where the eyelid connective tissue loses elasticity, which leads to malposition of the lids and ocular surface discomfort. An increase in eyelid laxity can occur with age and environmental factors. Patients were selected randomly from a general optometric practice with an age range of 20-85 years. Exclusion criteria included facial nerve palsy and a history of eyelid surgery or trauma. Patients were asked about their sleeping position, smoking history, UV exposure regarding occupation/hobby, and skin type was graded according to the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale. Patients’ eyelids and equipment were cleaned and prepared for eyelid laxity measurements. A Blephometer was used to measure the distance of the lower eyelid from the globe using a small color scale that represented two-millimeter (mm) increments. Eyelid laxity was graded according to a customary scale; grade 1: 0 - 1.9 mm; grade 2: 2.0 - 3.9 mm; grade 3: 4 - 9 mm; and grade 4: > 9mm. In addition, patient sleeping side and other demographics were examined to find a correlation of increased eyelid laxity. Patients display a link between the side on which they usually sleep and the laxity of their lower eyelid.

- Human Leukocyte Antigens and Their Correlation to Disease.
- Abstract/Description

Lack of information on unique diseases has led to research on human components associated with disease defense such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), also known as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). This genetic complex produces three classes of MHC receptors in humans, MHC/HLA I, II, and III, located on the cell membrane. MHC is a highly polymorphic gene complex with high linkage disequilibrium. Molecular changes and mutations on units of the MHC increase susceptibility for...
Show moreLack of information on unique diseases has led to research on human components associated with disease defense such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), also known as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). This genetic complex produces three classes of MHC receptors in humans, MHC/HLA I, II, and III, located on the cell membrane. MHC is a highly polymorphic gene complex with high linkage disequilibrium. Molecular changes and mutations on units of the MHC increase susceptibility for disease. These findings led to procedures which purposely induced changes on the MHC to prove its association with disease susceptibility. Analyzing and sequencing the genome of the HLA gene region is an important part of understanding the MCH, but sequencing can be difficult due to its high polymorphism trait. These issues led to faster, more efficient, and cheaper methods for sequencing not just the HLA but any gene region. Technology such as mass spectrometry is also facilitating characterization of HLAs, and finding disease correlations. With these advances in technology, a source for various diseases can be found.

- Impact of Apolipoprotein E Epsilon 4 in Brain Injuries of Boxers.
- Abstract/Description
-
Through research done on causes of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a link has been made between the amyloid-beta protein and the APOE ε4 allele. Not only do they play a major role in leading to AD, they also result in an increased risk of brain injury. Looking at studies done on patients with traumatic brain injuries, with an emphasis on injuries received while boxing, the possibility exists that having the APOE ε4 allele can lead to being more at risk for having a traumatic brain injury...

Not only do they play a major role in leading to AD, they also result in an increased risk of brain injury. Looking at studies done on patients with traumatic brain injuries, with an emphasis on injuries received while boxing, the possibility exists that having the APOE ε4 allele can lead to being more at risk for having a traumatic brain injury than non-carriers. Currently, there is no screening for the APOE ε4 allele in prospective athletes. The topic of potential screening should be further discussed as well as additional research done to be better equipped for educating the public on possible risks.

This association had about one hundred plus members. And members would pick which tribe they would like to represent. There are many different kind of tribes cultures to show. This brings many people together with their many of their own worked on piece of work like costumes. The article "Indian Occupy IRCC" could be important to a local or national researcher, because it could help out a researcher who is studying or wants information on Indian Hobbyist who was a part of these traditional Pow Wows. There were many different groups that have been organizing all around Florida. Today Pow Wow are held in Fort Pierce, Florida. the association are having 54th annual gathering and still can take apart of the event. This could also help out researchers on what Native Americans do in these ceremonies and give a better understanding.

A huge divide was rumbling not only in the U.S. but around the world. Some people saw this change an act of evil. Fundamentalist Christians saw this time as an attack on morals. Most attention in the media was on the progressive movements going on at that time. There were just as many people who did not support this movement especially conservatives. The author talks about the “lazy Americans” the Americans who question everything but gets nothing done. The author is saying that if America keeps on its current path that the Soviet Union will dominate the world because Americans were becoming too weak. This article is relevant to researches because it shows a different side to the political landscape of the 60's. The same issue that is being discussed today was also an issue during the 60's. This article gives a first-hand review of how some Americans thought of the progressive movements of the 60's. This article also shows how deeply divided the country was at the time. This article also shows that the fear of communism was rampant throughout the country. Summary and historical context created by Justin Berke as part of Dr. Michelle Carrigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.

Show moreThis Pioneer Post (also known as Pioneer Press) edition contains articles about student life, local performances, and sports scores. Articles of note include:- An editorial, produced by a former IRJC student, tackles a conspiracy theory regarding Paul McCartney. Rumors circling his death have incited an investigation to determine if The Beatles member is still alive. Due to the immense following The Beatles have acquired during this time period, many young adults have devoted their time to coming up with conclusions. In the 1960s, The Beatles became an international sensation that appealed to young Americans (particularly young women). Their fame led to many obsessive followers creating rumors about their personal lives. One rumor in particular circled around the possible death of Paul McCartney. People began to vigorously search for clues that could indicate a “deceased Paul” in The Beatle’s music, causing a frenzy. Multiple conspiracy theories emerged including hidden messages in songs played backwards, symbolism in their album artwork, etc. This popularity reflected how influential The Beatles were during this time period where young Americans were rebellious towards traditional authority. This also shows how it is human nature to want simplistic answers that match our own worldviews.
- An opinion editorial, written by former IRJC student, Cary Brunswick, discusses a debate between the use of alcohol and marijuana during this time. Alcohol was widely accepted on college campuses, while marijuana use created controversy. Brunswick also talks about the effects each substance has on the human body, and calls for an "evaluation of judgement". Throughout the 1960s, many Americans began to experiment with new drugs such as marijuana and hallucinogens. Marijuana use was heavily criticized for its effects on the human body (and on human behavior). Since the 1960s was a time when young Americans rebelled against authority and the Vietnam War, marijuana use became more popular. The debate, which still stands today, poses the question: is marijuana really that much worse than alcohol?
- "Are You a Hippie?" An opinion editorial, written by former IRJC student Cary Brunswick, discusses what it means to be a "beatnik hippie". The article attempts to identify the difference between hippie behavior and hippie style. In the 1960s, the “hippie movement” emerged as a result of rebellion against social norms (especially due to American involvement in Vietnam). Hippies followed their own beliefs and ideals. Some of these ideals included shifting the media’s focus from “minute” issues (such as cleanliness and personal hygiene) to larger societal problems (including poverty, racial discrimination, law enforcement, etc.). Hippies were nonconformists in their thinking, their “free” and often rebellious lifestyles, and their protests against traditional American culture.

During the early 1970s, the Selective Service System explained a few changes to their policy on undergraduate student deferments or postponements. For the colleges students who were already enrolled full-time for the 70-71 academic year would be eligible deferments in the upcoming academic year depending on how well the perform academically in their individual areas of study. But, those who had enrolled during the summer or incoming freshmen would not qualify as deferments, if and only if these awaiting changes are passed by congress. They are less likely to be inducted in the future because of the deferment phase out. Due to the phase out, approximately half would be directly affected and probably not be enlisted. Director of Selective Service stated that college students will not be drafted mid semester. Incoming freshmen were advised not to apply for student deferments even though the existing law did allow admitting deferments to students enrolling full-time. A large percentage of men with deferments lose their delay privileges during a one-year period due to fatherhood, work, or other student deferments. This item might be relevant to local researchers because it has important information about the Vietnam War and the draft. It contains vital information explaining what the Selective Service System is composed of. This resource will be very helpful to those who would like to investigate exactly what was going on locally in the 1970s in regards to Selective Service and the war. For example, which men were considered, what age group was more dominant, what were the restrictions to the young men admitted, why some men were not admitted or even considered, the process of admitting, etc. There is very resourceful information about this event and what was happening locally. Summary and historical context created by Natalia Garcia as part of Dr. Michelle Carrigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.

Protesters were in an attempt to put a halt on immigration and slow down the amount of reproduction by the use of condoms and birth control. This article sheds light on how overpopulation was viewed as pollution to the U.S. At the time period, people believed that this would result in less food, more homes to create, and overall non beneficial for the United States. This article also shows some of the ways that people influenced and motivated protests towards these issues going on.

A woman named Fonda Doane, despite the author's emphasis on her feminine qualities, becomes the first woman to graduate from IRCC Policy Academy dominated by men. In spite of her being an outlier in class, she enjoyed it with some embarrassing moments and dirty jokes. In 1972, only 2% of all police officers and sheriffs across America were females. Female police officers in the 1970s experienced gender stereotypes and sexual harassment. There were some who battled hard to earn their respect which shined a light upon them to encourage more women to become officers. In 1973, a woman named Fonda Doane became the first woman to graduate from IRJC Police Academy despite the stereotypes and sexist comments. With her and other brave police officers being an example, hopefully, more will pursue this career soon. Now the percentage of females in the force is 13% which is not a drastic boost, but it is improving.Summary written by Malik Girondin, in Dr. Carrigan's AMH 2020 H2SL (Honors/Service Learning).
