Abstract Concentrations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), chlorophyll a (Chla), and dissolved oxygen (DO) were analyzed before and after the impact of six tropical cyclones (TCs) to determine their influence upon dead zones in the Chesapeake Bay. Using the Chesapeake Bay Data Hub, data was collected and analyzed using paired t test, both temporally and … Continue reading →
Abstract The syntheses of salicylidene anilines are readily accomplished through one-pot procedures with minimal purification necessary to afford a functional crystalline product. These compounds are of interest due to their colorimetric response to 405 nm light in the solid state. A series of salicylidene anilines have been generated to study the effect of enol/trans-keto isomerization … Continue reading →
Homes speak volumes about their occupants. Individuals bleed their qualities into their homes through conscious or subliminal choices: architectural style and location “symbolically suggest […] social class, personality, […] and personal background” (Aragonés et al). The same osmotic process occurs in reverse, however, the house rubbing off on its inhabitants just as noticeably. In Ian McEwan’s … Continue reading →

The 25 participants who responded were asked a series of questions related to their relationship with their fathers in order to understand how their personal gender identities were created and influenced by their fathers. The findings … Continue reading →
Abstract Past research supports the notion that prosocial music can promote prosocial behavior and lower aggression. For this study, I tested how prosocial lyrics, relative to no lyrics and aggressive lyrics, affected prosocial behavior in college students. Participants listened to a song that was neutral, aggressive, or prosocial in content. A Likert scale questionnaire assessed … Continue reading →
1. Introduction For this project we propose the construction of a 10,000-seat concert venue, the fictional Farmvegas Civic Center (FCC), at North Campus (Lancer Park). Lancer Park is a 50 acre residential and recreation community. The FCC will be erected at the current apartment construction at Lancer Park. Two sports fields will be replaced with … Continue reading →
Abstract Maritime climates experience moderate temperatures due to the specific heat of the nearby water. The first objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between temperature (maximum, minimum, and range) and proximity to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Results show that the annual Tmin (Tmax) means are smaller (greater) at the most … Continue reading →
Introduction The bacteria classified within the genus Salmonella are gram-negative, facultative, rod-shaped bacteria (Yingqin et al., 2012) within the well-documented Family Enterobacteriaceae. However, the taxonomy of Salmonella is somewhat complex. The current taxonomic scheme consists of the genus Salmonella containing two species — S. enterica and S. bongori (Bhaduri et al., 2009). Within the species … Continue reading →
