Laboratory measurements of wave transmission through oyster-based low crested breakwaters
Get PDFPervious Oyster Shell Habitats (POSH) are novel living shoreline components that were recently developed and deployed along several shorelines in northeast Florida. POSH units are designed to provide a breakwater using only recycled eastern oyster shell and Portland cement. However, the hydrodynamic performance of these unique structures had never been tested, so it was unclear how they affected wave energy. During this study, a series of laboratory experiments were conducted to compare wave attenuation from POSH units to wave attenuation from geometrically similar and commercially available Reef BallsTM (specifically, the OysterBreak series of units). Experiments included a range of water depths, structure configurations, and wave types intended to emulate conditions where POSH units have already been deployed. Results suggest that like a Reef BallTM, POSH unit performance is a function of relative freeboard and unit crest width, and that under certain conditions, both structures may significantly attenuate wave energy. In addition, data suggest that POSH units may attenuate more wave energy than similarly sized Reef BallsTM when both structures are subjected to the same or similar wave conditions
Illness representations as a predictor of depression severity and treatment seeking in college students
No full textCollege-aged students are disproportionately represented among groups experiencing serious mental illness, and yet treatment utilization and engagement are low and unstable (ACHA, 2020; O’Brien et al., 2009). The current study utilized Leventhal et al.’s (1984, 2016) CSM-SR to longitudinally (a) examine differences in depression beliefs and coping strategies as a function of depression severity and treatment exposure, (b) examine depression beliefs as a predictor of treatment intentions, (c) examine illness representations and coping strategies over time, and (d) test CSM-SR causal relationships. College students (n =181 at baseline and n =137 at Time 1) completed demographic items, measures of illness representations, depression severity, treatment barriers, and coping strategies at baseline and again 3 months later. Participants were grouped according to depression severity: minimal/mild (n = 46), moderate (n = 56), or severe (n = 79), and treatment exposure: never received (n = 42), received in past (n = 70), or currently receiving (n = 59). Numerous significant differences were found across illness representations, coping, and treatment barriers as a function of depression severity and treatment exposure. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated baseline treatment control beliefs (β = .20, p \u3c .05) and perceived negative value (β = -0.24, p \u3c .05) significantly predicted treatment intentions at Time 1. Repeated measures ANCOVAs revealed several illness representations changed over time, but only consequence beliefs changed as a function of baseline treatment exposure. Tests of mediation revealed significant indirect effects of baseline illness representations on depression severity, primarily through avoidant coping. Our study demonstrates the relevance of the CSM-SR in college student mental health contexts. Overall, findings contribute to our understanding of the complexities surrounding depression experiences and depression management in college students and highlight the importance of tailored interventions
Gröbner bases with an application to tame functions
Get PDFGrobner bases are essential tools in algebraic geometry, used to simplify and solve systems of polynomial equations. These bases revolutionized computational methods in various branches of mathematics after being introduced in 1965 by Bruno Buchberger. This thesis explores the foundational concepts of Grobner bases, including their formation and properties. It also demonstrates their use in solving mathematical problems in algebraic geometry, including the ideal membership problem. As an application, we show how Grobner bases can be used to determine whether a polynomial mapping is tame. This concept is crucial for analyzing the topology near singular points and establishing whether a real polynomial mapping has a Milnor fibration. The insights gained from this study highlight the significant theoretical and practical contributions of Grobner bases to the field of algebraic geometry
A method for investigation of small-scale morphologic change around low crested oyster-based structures
No full textIn recent years, a novel method for shoreline stabilization, Pervious Oyster Shell Habitat (POSH) units, comprised of recycled eastern oyster shells, has been developed. These mound-shaped structures have been deployed along several shoreline sites in Northeast Florida. This case study sought to develop and implement a method for investigation of small-scale morphologic change in the vicinity of these structures using smartphone LiDAR technology, surveying instruments, and 2D/3D mapping software. Results suggest that the POSH units are helping to mitigate erosion by trapping sediments around them. Moving forward, it may be possible to adapt the methodology used here to assess morphologic changes along similar shorelines where erosion mitigation measures have been installed
The Short Allele of the Serotonin Transporter Gene (SLC6A4) Increases Predisposition to Anxiety and Negative Emotional States
Get PDFMental disorders, such as anxiety and mood disorders, have long been a focus of psychological research, and increasing evidence points to a genetic basis for their occurrence. Polymorphisms of the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene (SLC6A4) may predispose an individual to anxiety-related symptoms. SLC6A4 has two common alleles: the short (s) allele, which results in less 5-HTT protein production, and the long (l) allele, which results in more 5-HTT. Integrated findings from psychometric evaluations, behavioral animal models, and biological assessments establish a link between the s allele of SLC6A4 and heightened anxiety phenotypes. The allele’s influence on serotonin levels and brain structures like the amygdala suggests its importance in emotional processing. With advancements in gene-editing technologies, targeting SLC6A4 polymorphisms offers a promising approach for personalized treatment of anxiety and related disorders. However, gaps in understanding demographic variations and their influence on the gene’s expression call for further investigation
