Many individuals—administrators, faculty members, staff, graduate students, and, of course, undergraduate students—have collaborated to make the CURO Symposium the premier undergraduate academic event at UGA. Each year, the Symposium has grown larger, and the 2017 Symposium is the largest to date, with 550 undergraduate researchers communicating their substantial accomplishments to their peers, mentors, and the public at large. From its inception, the CURO Symposium has showcased research and scholarship in all disciplines. The 2017 Symposium continues that commitment, featuring presenters pursuing 91 different majors from 13 schools and colleges who are conducting research with 311 faculty members from 72 departments. Thus, this two-day event displays UGA’s broad and substantial support of research and the invaluable commitment of UGA’s administration and faculty to mentoring and providing exceptional learning opportunities for our undergraduates. Thank you for your continued support of undergraduate research and CURO. Sincerely, Dr. David S. Williams, ’79, ’82 Dr. Martin P.

  • Epiglass ® and Other International Paint Products
    Epiglass® Multipurpose Epoxy Resin ABOUT THE AUTHORS ROGER MARSHALL For eight years award winning author Roger Marshall has been the technical editor for Soundings magazine where his articles are read by about 250,000 people each month. Marshall’s experience as a writer spans for many years. His work has appeared worldwide as well as the New York Times, Daily Telegraph (UK), Sports illustrated, Sail, Cruising World, Motor Boating and sailing, Yachting and many other newspapers and magazines. Marshall is also the author of twelve marine related books, two of which were translated into Italian and Spanish. His last book All about Powerboats was published by International Marine in the spring of 2002. He has another book Rough Weather Seamanship due in the fall of 2003 and is currently working on a new book, Elements of Powerboat Design for International Marine. But writing is only a small part of Marshall’s talents. He is also a designer of boats, both power and sail. After completing a program in small craft design at Southampton College in England, Marshall, who still holds a British passport, moved to the United States in 1973 to take a position at Sparkman & Stephens, Inc. in New York. He worked there as a designer for nearly 5 years and then left to establish his own yacht design studio in Jamestown, Rhode Island. As an independent designer he has designed a wide range of boats and was project engineer for the Courageous Challenge for the 1987 America’s Cup campaign in Australia. In 1999 one of his cruising yacht designs was selected for inclusion in Ocean Cruising magazine’s American Yacht Review.

E-mail: [email protected], Tel.: +49 (0) 89 2180 6635; Fax: +49 (0) 89 2180 6601 Abstract The diversity and phylogenetic relationships of calcareous sponges are still not completely understood. Recent integrative approaches combined analyses of DNA and morphological observations. Such studies resulted in severe taxonomic revi- sions within the subclass Calcinea and provided the foundation for a phylogenetically meaningful classification. However, several genera are missing from DNA phylogenies and their relationship to other Calcinea remain uncertain. One of these genera is Leuclathrina (family Leucaltidae). We here describe a new species from the Maldives, Leuclathrina translucida sp. nov., which is only the second species of the genus. Like the type species Leuclathrina asconoides, the new species has a leuconoid aquiferous system and lacks a specialized choanoskeleton.

In the meantime, Sarah and Jonathon are here to bring that same spirit front and center on Ad- venture Lantern’s pages. Many thanks for their hard work and giving me a delightful read this summer. Until next time, – Ugur Sener A Golden Wake I first became aware of Dave Gilbert as a developer when we posted a review of his game The Shivah in October 2006. Erdalion, who was one of our most dedi- cated contributors at the time, had dis- covered the game and recognized it for the gem it was. The Shivah had come to life initially as a contest entry, a project to be completed in one month. The com- editorial mercial version Erdalion reviewed repre- sented a polished overhaul of the origi- nal design. At the time, Erdalion praised the game’s excellent story, inspired puzzles, and courage to explore themes not com- monly encountered in an adventure game. The Shivah did not boast fancy graphics, Valiant Hearts but had tremendous indie charm that had a whole different kind of visual appeal to a seasoned adventurer. This was exactly the interview kind of game we wanted to be highlighted 04 Dave Gilbert on Wadjet Eye in Adventure Lantern.

Patients with PAF fail to generate bodily states of arousal via the autonomic nervous system in response to physical or cognitive effort. We used voxel-based morphometry to test the hypothesis that changes in the morphology of brain regions involved in autonomic control would arise as a consequence to the longstanding absence of peripheral autonomic responses in PAF patients. Optimized voxel-based morphometry of structural magnetic resonance scans was used to test for regional differences in grey and white matter in 15 PAF patients and matched controls. There were no group differences observed in global measures of grey matter, white matter, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We identified morphometric differences reflecting regional decreases in grey matter volume and concentration in anterior cingulate and insular cortices in PAF patients relative to controls. Morphometric differences in brainstem and subcortical regions did not reach statistical significance.

  • Brain Morphometry in 22Q11.2 Deletion Syndrome: an Exploration of Diferences in Cortical Thickness, Surface Area, and Their Contribution to Cortical Volume M
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Brain morphometry in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome: an exploration of diferences in cortical thickness, surface area, and their contribution to cortical volume M. Gudbrandsen1, E. Daly1, C. M. Murphy1,2, C. E. Blackmore1,2, M. Rogdaki3,4, C. Mann5, A. Bletsch5, L. Kushan6, C. E. Bearden6,7, D. G. M. Murphy1, M. C. Craig1,8 & Christine Ecker1,5* 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11.2DS) is the most common microdeletion in humans, with a heterogenous clinical presentation including medical, behavioural and psychiatric conditions. Previous neuroimaging studies examining the neuroanatomical underpinnings of 22q11.2DS show alterations in cortical volume (CV), cortical thickness (CT) and surface area (SA). The aim of this study was to identify (1) the spatially distributed networks of diferences in CT and SA in 22q11.2DS compared to controls, (2) their unique and spatial overlap, as well as (3) their relative contribution to observed diferences in CV. Structural MRI scans were obtained from 62 individuals with 22q11.2DS and 57 age- and-gender-matched controls (aged 6–31). Using FreeSurfer, we examined diferences in vertex-wise estimates of CV, CT and SA at each vertex, and compared the frequencies of vertices with a unique or overlapping diference for each morphometric feature. Our fndings indicate that CT and SA make both common and unique contributions to volumetric diferences in 22q11.2DS, and in some areas, their strong opposite efects mask diferences in CV. By identifying the neuroanatomic variability in 22q11.2DS, and the separate contributions of CT and SA, we can start exploring the shared and distinct mechanisms that mediate neuropsychiatric symptoms across disorders, e.g.
