Urban Green Space and Violent Crime Rates: Urban Green Spaces Promote Safety, Wellness, And Community Connection
Get PDFSome studies suggest that well- maintained green spaces can deter crime by fostering community interaction, increasing natural surveillance, and reducing stress- related aggression. However, other research indicates that poorly maintained or isolated green spaces may provide opportunities for criminal activity. Understanding these patterns is essential for designing safer cities
Plant-Based Substitutes for Gelatin in Gummy Bears
Get PDFGummy bears are typically made using gelatin. Those who choose to follow a vegan/vegetarian diet are unable to eat products that contain gelatin, since gelatin is made from the collagen found in animal tissues. Additionally, people who avoid eating pork for religious or other reasons cannot consume gelatin, as it is commonly derived from pork
How Does Salinity Affect Antibiotic Production?
Get PDFAntibiotic production by microorganisms can be heavily influenced by environmental factors, such as salinity. In this experiment we investigated how varying environmental salinity affected antibody production of the isolate SP25-MRP-11, which was obtained from a filtrate of soil from the Dr. Gene Miller Life Science Garden
2017 Seasonal Variation of Atmospheric Gravity Waves Above Rothera Station, Antarctica
Get PDFAs a part of the international Antarctic Gravity Wave Instrument Network (ANGWIN), Utah State University operates an infrared (IR) all-sky imager at the British Rothera Station in Antarctica (67°34’S, 68°07’W) which observes several hydroxyl (OH) emission bands
Digital Audience: The Bystander Effect on Social Media
Get PDFIn the United States, cyberbullying is a massive problem that shows no sign of slowing down. - Cyberbullying effects 46% of teens aged 13-17 (Vogels, 2022)
- We are more connected than ever before
- Cyberbullying will only increase as we become more connected over social medi
Automatic Aurora Detection
Get PDFAurorae happen when particles in the earth’s magnetosphere become excited and emit visible light. Below is a picture that shows this process more meaningfully:
The colors of each aurora is determined by these electrons as well. Below is a diagram showing where the different colors of aurora come from. In addition to being nice to look at, aurorae can be caused by Coronal Mass Ejections(CMEs). CMEs can affect radio communication, power grids, GPS systems, and more
Terra Sol Retreat: Combining Ancient Building Principles and Modern Technology to Design a Sustainable Desert Resort
Get PDFAncient desert civilizations developed ingenious building techniques to adapt to extreme heat, scarce water, and harsh winds. One of the most effective strategies was the use of thermally massive materials such as adobe, rammed earth, and stone, which absorbed heat during the day and released it at night, creating natural temperature regulation. The Navajo (Diné) hogan, a traditional dwelling of the American Southwest, exemplifies this principle. Hogan walls were often built with packed earth and timber, providing insulation against both the searing daytime heat and the frigid desert nights. Their circular shape also helped distribute heat evenly, while the entrance faced east to welcome the morning sun and align with cultural traditions. Similarly, Middle Eastern civilizations, such as the ancient Mesopotamians and Egyptians, used mudbrick construction to insulate against the sun. Egyptian homes often had thick walls and roof openings to allow hot air to escape, maintaining a cooler indoor environment
Disjunction in \u3ci\u3eArachnospila\u3c/i\u3e (Pompilidae: Hymenoptera): Convergent Evolution or Recent Dispersal?
Get PDFConvergent evolution is defined as unrelated species evolving similar traits. A disjunct distribution is the appearance of species or groups of species in disconnected geographical areas. Is the disjunction we see in Arachnospila due to a recent disjunct distribution/long distance dispersal event or long-term convergent evolution
