No full textThis Senior Honors Project is entitled “Ty Matson: Senior Recital, Trombone.” The author of the project is Ty Matson. The Senior Honors Project was the preparation and performance of my senior trombone recital, with program notes to accompany the traditional program list of pieces. The trombone recital was comprised of seven pieces of varied styles, musical eras, and composers. The program notes that were distributed in addition to the program consisted of background information on the composers as well as the compositions themselves. The recital, not including intermission, lasted approximately 47 minutes

No full textSo Noted piece critical of Andrew Skip Matson, the executive director of the Portland Community Food and Nutrition Program (PCFNP), and his management of the program. Noting that only 37 cents of every dollar received by PCFNP was used to buy food for the needy, the primary purpose of the organization, the author questions whether the money is well spent. Commenting on the ways in which Matson represents the facts relating to his organization and its accomplishments, and on the fact that Maine congressmen Tom Allen and John Baldacci are pressing the Maine Department of Human Services to give Matson $20,000 until he can apply for a new federal grant, author David Tyler forcefully states that Matson doesn\u27t deserve new funding, since there are many other deserving agencies in Portland that do a better job at feeding the poor

Does Matson matter? Assessing the impact of a UK neighbourhood project
No full textThe question of how development agencies should assess their impact has no simple answers and so is often either unasked, or is framed in terms that privilege time-bound and quantitative findings. Describing a council estate neighbourhood project in the UK, the author probes the understandings and perceptions of different stakeholders concerning what they believe has changed over the life of the project, and to what they would attribute those changes. The findings suggest that the impact of development interventions is always contingent upon many factors and can only be properly viewed over time; and that many of the most critical factors in shaping change are intangible and have to do with a wide range of social relations and with human motivation and drive, both individual and collective. The author does not present a 'blueprint' for how to conduct impact assessment, but offers some insights into how to frame the questions and interpret the answers.This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.</p
Beasts, Brides, and Brutality: The Intersection of Animalism and Gender in European Fairy Tales
No full textThis thesis, a comparative study of published fairy tale collections across three nations and three centuries, argues that fairy tales were, in their time, highly charged ideological interventions in period debates about gender, class, and nation. In this thesis I recover not just the historical context of each collection but also the circumstances of production for their print publication. The variables that form the basis of this comparison include: whether stories in a given volume were collected from informants or invented by a single author; the level of attachment of the collector to nationalist movements; and the layers of editorial mediation between informants/writers and the printed editions made from their work. The primary cases are stories of animal transformation, in which the strict boundaries of human and animal are effaced, and the rules of gender are exaggerated or reimagined.
The collections compared in this thesis come from three nations between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries: the Brothers Grimm in Germany; Laura Gonzenbach, a German in Sicily; and Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy in France. I analyze gender and class themes in the tales, such as the treatment of the female body, the aging of women, the depiction of subaltern creatures, and animal transformations, in light of contemporaneous political and social changes affecting the status of women in Germany, Italy, and France.
By combining paradigms from three fields—fairy tale studies, animal studies, and gender studies—this thesis offers several findings about the relationship between gender and animalism that were previously unknown to the scholarship. First, when the printed tale is substantially edited or polished for print, or when collectors acted to advance nationalist movements, the following properties are more likely to occur: stricter policing of female propriety; greater restrictions on female agency in the narratives; and harsher punishments for transgressive women. Second, when collections are produced by women, relatively free of masculine intervention, we can expect greater freedom of female character action, even when produced in a less female-friendly early period.
Although they originated as politically charged texts, fairy tales today are typically read ahistorically and therefore lose their original moral and political investments that they held in their time. By examining the burden that nationalist agendas put on women by limiting female characters’ agency within fairy tales, I am able to recover the original engagements of published fairy tale collections, offering an argument about the period-specific ideological work done by fairy tales that we do not find in the scholarship
Evolved Pollution Tolerance in Gulf Killifish (Fundulus grandis) from the Corpus Christi Inner Harbor, Texas.
No full textThe Corpus Christi Inner Harbor in Texas is a major center of industrial activity and has significant levels of persistent pollutants including dioxins, furans, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The Gulf killifish, Fundulus grandis, is an estuarine species of fish that is known to inhabit the Gulf of Mexico and F. grandis populations from Houston, Texas have demonstrated resistance to PCB-induced cardiac teratogenesis via a recalcitrant AHR pathway. In this study, F. grandis embryos spawned from individuals collected from two sites in the Corpus Christi Inner Harbor were exposed to varying doses of PCB-126 and then screened for heart deformities at 144 hours post fertilization. Both populations displayed significant resistance to PCB-induced cardiac teratogenesis when compared to a reference population. This represents the second documented cluster of adapted populations of F. grandis. Additionally, Corpus Christi populations displayed lower basal and induced cytochrome P450A (CYP1A) activity indicating that a recalcitrant AHR pathway is likely at least a partially responsible for PCB resistance. Finally, it was also found in this study that while PCB-induced cardiac teratogenesis and CYP1A induction were highly correlated on a population level, these two factors did not appear to be correlated at the individual level, as individual CYP1A activity was not predictive of heart deformity

Generally, the basal half of the hindwing underside is darker brown than in <i>S. annellata</i> and <i>S. costimacula</i>, and the costal margin at the antemedian often has a noticeable semicircular ochreous patch. Genitalic dissection (Matson & Wagner in prep.) and genetic analysis are sometimes necessary to distinguish this taxon from others.</p> Distribution <p> Mexico: <i>Stamnodes cassinoi</i> is found in the chaparral associations, foothills, canyons, and Pacific coastal scrub communities of northwestern Baja California. USA: the core of this species’ range lies in California. <i>Stamnodes cassinoi</i> appears to prefer more coastal habitat than congeners and rarely ranges inland.</p> Biology <p> <i>Stamnodes cassinoi</i> feeds on <i>Cercocarpus betuloides</i> in southern California and likely Mexico. There is a single flight, from early December through January, with mature caterpillars following into March. The caterpillar and host plant were discovered by David L. Wagner and the author in March 2016 in southern California. Additional unpublished life history details and larval illustrations are forthcoming (Matson & Wagner in prep.).</p> Molecular characterization <p> This species is represented in BOLD as BIN: BOLD:AAF9456 (n = 10). At present, the average pairwise intraspecific distance is 0.59%, the pairwise maximum intraspecific distance is 1.12%, and the distance to the nearest neighbour, <i>Stamnodes modocata</i> (n = 2), is 4.67%.</p>Published as part of <i>Matson, Tanner A., 2023, A review of Mexican Stamnodes (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) with the description of 16 new species, pp. 1-79 in European Journal of Taxonomy 911</i> on pages 61-63, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2023.911.2371, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10376790">http://zenodo.org/record/10376790</a>
