A Seventeenth-Century Air History in Conversation with Antony and Cleopatra
Get PDFThis article works to unpack the recurrences of air-related language utilized in Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra. Throughout this play, the notions of breath, wind, air, and vapor are consistently referenced, demonstrating the way in which atmospheric intangibility was a key point of exploration for contemporary scientists and philosophers. Through this analysis, it is clear that Shakespeare employs breath in three ways: the breath of (public) life, a lack of breath, and, most importantly, breath as a symbol of power and autonomy, which at times overlaps with the breath of life in ways that demonstrate contemporary conceptualizations of living beings. The relation of breath and power is shown to exist in other seventeenth-century texts, which often thought about breath and power in relation to God, spirits, and nature. Ultimately, Shakespeare treats air as transformative, wind as a whimsical means of transportation, and vapor as contagious. These ideas coincide with seventeenth-century understandings of these meteorological concepts found in complex scientific theories, natural philosophy ideas, and cultural constructions accepted by the general public

Hypomyces luteovirens
Get PDFParasitic on Russula, found under Acer.m Widely distributed in northern temperate regions. 9-12cm. Subiculum yellow-green, covering hymenium and stipe slight amounts on the pileus turning dark green to grey-black with age. Pileus convex to concave, centrally depressed, irregular and conspicuously lined margin. H. luteovirens is macroscopically distinctive from other hypomyces by its yellow-green coloration, and microscopically distinctive by its large ascospores and perithicial apex displaying “moniliform chains of cells that extend from the surface of the papilla.” (Rogerson & Samuels 1994).

Clitocybe odora
Get PDFSaprobic, growing on the debris or leaf litter of hardwoods or confiders. This species can be found throughout North America, Europe, and Asia growing during the summer, fall, and winter in warm climates. Grows scattered or in patches. Cap is smooth, convex with an enrolled margin, 2-11 cm long and a light blue-green color. Our specimen was approximately 6 cm across. With age, caps fade in color, become rougher, and margins become lined. Gills are attached and subdecurrent with the stem. They are crowded and off white to light pinkish. The stem of this species is 2-8 cm long, our specimen was approximately 3 cm long, and up to 16 mm thick. Stems are dry, whitish, slightly hairy, and have basal mycelium. It’s spore print is creamy white to pinkish; the cap turns orange with KOH, and smells and tastes of anise when young. This species, along with Lentinellus cochleatus and Agaricus essettei, have a strong odor of anise. In the case of C. odora, this smell is due to the odorous component p-Anisaldehyde (Rapior et al. 2002). A report found a novel mycovirus in C. odora that is similar to Tanathephorus cucumeris, but does not currently belong to any existing virus taxa (Heinze 2012). A study comparing and describing the bioactive compounds of several mushrooms found that Clitocybe odora has one of the highest ascorbic acid contents (172.65 mg/100 g) and antioxidant properties (EC₅₀ \u3c 3.6 mg/ml) among the fungi studied (Vaz et al. 2011).

Correlation Between ADHD Medication Use and Frequency of Exercise
Get PDFSubstance abuse is a prevalent issue in today\u27s society, and certain drugs are becoming more readily accessible. Adderall is a drug prescribed to individuals diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These individuals experience symptoms such as hyperactivity, short attention span, and impulsivity due to disruptions in the dopaminergic pathway. Once exploited by non-prescribers such as college students, Adderall becomes an addictive substance as it has temporary enhancing effects on an individual’s health and academics. Notably, there is suggested evidence that supports frequent exercising having beneficial effects on attention and executive functioning. Literature has shown that exercise increases confidence, decreases risks of developing mental disorders, and improves cognitive functions. Adderall may boost energy or cause accelerated heartbeat and fatigue. This study examines whether a significant association is present between ADHD medication use and frequency of exercise. An anonymous Google Forms survey was distributed to undergraduate college students. Data collection is ongoing with 549 responses collected so far. Data was analyzed using Pearson’s Bivariate Correlation in SPSS Version 25.0. The results suggest an association between ADHD medication use and certain exercise levels, which requires further investigation.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2021/1093/thumbnail.jp
