Effect of Darkness and Microgravity on the Development and Movement of Dictyostelium discoideum
Full text linkDictyostelium discoideum is a slime mold that serves as a model organism for studying cell growth, interactions, and movement. It has a fast and unique life cycle, transitioning between unicellular and multicellular states depending on the stage of development. While research has explored various factors influencing its movement, little is known about the effects of darkness and microgravity. This study aimed to examine how darkness and microgravity impact the development and migration of D. discoideum. Ten slugs were placed in the center of lactose agar plates, which were then wrapped in black tissue paper and aluminum foil. The plates were either positioned upright in a clinostat box or secured to a rotating apparatus spinning at 1 RPM within the clinostat. After at least 24 hours, researchers analyzed slug migration. Slugs from the stationary plates in darkness exhibited positive gravitaxis, consistent with previous findings. Slugs in the rotating clinostat environment also exhibited positive gravitaxis, but their response was weaker. This suggests that while microgravity reduces the effect of gravity, it does not completely eliminate it

The Influence of Economics in Accounting: Historical Macroeconomics on Tax Law
Full text linkThis thesis is an overall explanation of the correlation between macroeconomics and accounting, specifically shown through changes in tax law resulting from economic changes. Economics is a vital subject to consider when studying accounting as it often leads to changes in accounting data, specifically in laws and their generation. Through the study of historical macroeconomics, we can reasonably assume what changes in tax laws could be made based on prior political decisions in monetary and fiscal policies
Does Vegetation Density Affect Insect Populations? An Analysis of Insect Biodiversity on the Ouachita Baptist University Campus with essays: The Musings of a Wildlife Enthusiast
Full text linkAs insect populations continue to decrease worldwide, scientists are continuing to search for answers as to why their numbers have been decreasing for decades and how anthropogenic influences play a role. One possible deleterious effect is the clearing/removal of vegetation and overgrowth in environments where insect populations are high and may depend on said overgrowth for food and safety. This paper uses the data of a 2013 study conducted on the Ouachita Baptist University campus to compare how insect populations have changed from 2013 to 2024 in areas that have been cleared of overgrowth in between that time frame. Pitfall and pan traps were used and insects were identified to Order. The results of the study found that insect populations in the areas studied had decreased significantly in between studies (4,658 insects in 2013 compared to 1,446 in 2024). Diversity in insect Order had also decreased, as nine Orders present in 2013 were absent in 2024. These findings indicate that the clearing of overgrowth in the areas studied, as well as the passage of time, may have had a negative impact on the insect populations on campus
