The Anchor, Volume 130.11: November 16, 2016
The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor\u27s history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular

Hope College Abstracts: 15th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Performance
The 15th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Performance was held on April 15, 2016 in the Richard and Helen DeVos Fieldhouse at Hope College and featured student-faculty collaborative research projects. This program is a record reflective of those projects between the 2015-2016 academic year
Production of Unbound Resonance in 23O
The nuclear structure of a state in a given isotope is determined by which nucleons occupy the bound and unbound energy levels. This state determines the energy of decay, which can be calculated from the energy and momentum of the fragment and neutron. From the calculated decay energy, information about an isotope’s nuclear structure can be found. At a National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory experiment, a 101.3 MeV/u 27Ne ion beam hit a liquid deuterium target, causing reactions which produced several isotopes. Many of these isotopes decayed, resulting in a charged fragment and one or more neutrons. A superconducting dipole magnet bent the path of the fragments into a series of charged-particle detectors. Neutrons from these decays were measured as they interacted with arrays of scintillating plastic bars. One of the isotopes produced was 22O, most likely formed in two ways in this experiment. Either α-stripping of the 27Ne beam resulted in 23O, which decayed into 22O + n or 2-proton stripping of the 27Ne beam resulted in 25O, which decayed into 22O + 3n. The cross-sections and the nature of decay for both of these processes will be determined. In addition, resonances of other unbound nuclear systems may also be included for cross-section production comparisons
Activation of Stress Response Pathways of C. elegans by Multiple Types of Stress
The mechanism by which organisms age is largely unknown, but many studies suggest that ageing is related to stress. In order to understand the relationship between stress and ageing, we studied the mechanisms by which organisms respond to different stressors. In C. elegans, the activation of stress response pathways can be easily observed through the use of fluorescent reporters. Here, we used a series of fluorescent reporter strains to determine which types of stress can activate each different stress response pathway, and to define the optimal stress conditions for maximum activation of each reporter strain. We examined the following stress reporter pathways: the heat shock response/cytoplasmic unfolded protein response (Phsp-16.2::GFP), mitochondrial unfolded protein response (Phsp-6::GFP), endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response (Phsp-4::GFP), the SKN-1 mediated oxidative stress response (Pgst-4::GFP, Pgcs-1::GFP), hypoxia response (Pnhr-57::GFP), and the DAF-16 mediated stress response (Pdaf-16::daf-16;GFP, Psod-3::GFP). Each of these fluorescent reporter strains was then exposed to eight different types of stress: heat stress, cold stress, osmotic stress, anoxia, oxidative stress, starvation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and bacterial pathogenic stress. We found that all of the stress response pathways are activated by multiple types of stress with the exception of the mitoUPR. Similarly, most types of stress activated multiple stress response pathways. These data have subsequently been used to study how the ability to respond to stress changes as organisms age
