2016–2017 STUDENT RESEARCH REPORTS Summer Internships Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program Graduate Research Fellowship Program Dedicated to building research infrastructure and the promotion of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education in West Virginia 2016–2017 STUDENT RESEARCH REPORTS Summer Internships Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program Graduate Research Fellowship Program NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium G-68 Engineering Science Building PO Box 6070 West Virginia University Morgantown, WV 26506-6070 (304) 293-4099 www.wvspacegrant.org Published December 2017 PREFACE The National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (also known as Space Grant) was first established under Tittle II of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Authorization Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-147). Space Grant is a unique national state-based network in 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. The program is a component of NASA’s Education Directorate portfolio charged with carrying out effective education, research, and public outreach activities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), particularly in fields most relevant to NASA’s future workforce. Currently, Space Grant is comprised of 52 consortia that engage over 1,000 affiliates nationally, including more than 600 colleges/universities, and state, industry, non-profit and federal partners, including NASA Centers. They work collectively to meet the nation’s needs for developing and training a high-tech workforce to sustain a robust U.S. space science and space exploration program. As one of the 52 university-based Space Grant consortia, the NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium (WVSGC or the Consortium) was established in August 1991. The Consortium is housed in the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources on the Evansdale Campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia. It is comprised of 12 West Virginia academic institutions and 8 corporate and scientific partners (a list of affiliates is listed on page 2). It is dedicated to building research infrastructure and promoting STEM education in West Virginia. The Consortium’s programs focus on research, collaborations with high technology industries, student fellowships as well as K-12, and public outreach programs. This is consistent with the strategic vision for the state’s participation in the nation’s current and future endeavors in science and technology. This publication is a compilation of student reports from summer internships, the NASA Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program and the NASA Graduate Research Fellowship Program for the 2016- 2017 fiscal year. On behalf of the Board of Directors of NASA WVSGC, we would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to students who applied for these programs, the mentoring offered to West Virginia students by their faculty advisors in their research projects as well as the different internship locations that provided these opportunities. Without them, our internships and fellowship programs would not be where they are today: a crucial step in the workforce development pipeline for NASA and the high technology sector in the United States.

  • Multi-National Conservation of Alligator Lizards
    MULTI-NATIONAL CONSERVATION OF ALLIGATOR LIZARDS: APPLIED SOCIOECOLOGICAL LESSONS FROM A FLAGSHIP GROUP by ADAM G. CLAUSE (Under the Direction of John Maerz) ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is defined by unprecedented human influence on the biosphere. Integrative conservation recognizes this inextricable coupling of human and natural systems, and mobilizes multiple epistemologies to seek equitable, enduring solutions to complex socioecological issues. Although a central motivation of global conservation practice is to protect at-risk species, such organisms may be the subject of competing social perspectives that can impede robust interventions. Furthermore, imperiled species are often chronically understudied, which prevents the immediate application of data-driven quantitative modeling approaches in conservation decision making. Instead, real-world management goals are regularly prioritized on the basis of expert opinion. Here, I explore how an organismal natural history perspective, when grounded in a critique of established human judgements, can help resolve socioecological conflicts and contextualize perceived threats related to threatened species conservation and policy development. To achieve this, I leverage a multi-national system anchored by a diverse, enigmatic, and often endangered New World clade: alligator lizards. Using a threat analysis and status assessment, I show that one recent petition to list a California alligator lizard, Elgaria panamintina, under the US Endangered Species Act often contradicts the best available science.

  • The Effects of Human Disturbance on Vascular Epiphyte in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
    The effects of human disturbance on vascular epiphyte in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Edicson Parra-Sanchez Imperial College London Department of Life Science Silwood Park Campus Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) April 2018 1 “What we have to practice today is solidarity, one must not approach people to say Here we come to give the charity of our presence, to teach our science, to show you your mistakes, your ignorance, your lack of basics. We go with investigative zeal, and humble spirit, to learn in great source of wisdom which is the people.” Che Guevara 2 Declaration The data collection and work presented in this thesis is all my own. Dr Cristina Banks-Leite did provide guidance throughout my thesis. Chapters are organized as papers, and I used “we” to recognize the role of my supervisor Dr Cristina. Data sources and software are referenced along the text. The support of different people is acknowledge as follows: Data collection was done with field assistants Jordy Jerez, Manon Czuckermand and Tiago Gloria. The study design was done by ECOFOR (Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Degraded and Recovering Amazonian and Atlantic Forests). Taxa identification was done with the help of MSc Gabriel Marcusso (Piperaceae), Dr Carlos Nunes and Eric Hagsater (Orchidaceae), Ms Suzana Martins and Marcio Leofegario (Bromeliaceae), Dr Alain Chautems (Gesneriaceae), and Thomas Croat (Ferns). In chapter 2, advice on the model fitting and interpretation was provided by Dr Jack Hatfield. In chapter 3, advice on the interpretation of the n-dimension analysis was provided by Dr Thomas Guillerme (as author of the “dispRity” R package).

  • Mass Spectrometric Investigation of the Aging Processes of Ballpoint Ink for the Examination of Questioned Documents
    MASS SPECTROMETRIC INVESTIGATION OF THE AGING PROCESSES OF BALLPOINT INK FOR THE EXAMINATION OF QUESTIONED DOCUMENTS INAUGURAL DISSERTATION For the degree of Doktor rer. nat. submitted to Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Faculty of Biology and Chemistry) Céline Weyermann born on 13.03.1978 in La Chaux-de Fonds Switzerland. Giessen, 23th September 2005 Dean Prof. Dr. Jürgen Mayer 1st Referee Prof. Dr. Bernhard Spengler 2nd Referee Prof. Dr. Pierre Margot 3rd Referee Prof. Dr. Rudolf Geyer Zusammenfassung In den forensischen Wissenschaften ist die Bestimmung des Alters einer Kugelschreibereintragung (z.B. Kugelschreiberstrich) ein wichtiges Kriterium bei der Echtheitsprüfung von Dokumenten. Seit Beginn dieser Untersuchungen ist die Altersbestimmung eine wichtige und meist unbeantwortet gebliebene Frage geblieben. Die forensischen Wissenschaftler streiten sich über die Möglichkeit und die Validierung von Datierungsmethoden. Diese Kontroverse ist der Angangspunkt dieser Arbeit gewesen. Kugelschreiberpasten bestehen aus drei Hauptkomponenten: Lösungsmitteln (50%), Farbstoffen (25%) und Harzen (25%). Nach dem Auftragen der Pasten auf Papier findet mit der Zeit eine qualitative und quantitative Veränderung der Zusammensetzung der Kugelschreibereintragung statt. Während Farbstoffe ausbleichen, d.h. vor allem photochemisch abgebaut werden, wird das Alterungsverhalten der Lösungsmittel durch den Verdampfungs- und Diffusionsprozess charakterisiert. In der vorgestellten Arbeit, sind die Alterungsprozesse von Farbstoffen und Lösungsmitteln mittels

  • An Alphabetical List of Bromeliad Binomials
    AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BROMELIAD BINOMIALS Compiled by HARRY E. LUTHER The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Sarasota, Florida, USA ELEVENTH EDITION Published by the Bromeliad Society International June 2008 ii INTRODUCTION TO EDITION XI This list is presented as a spelling guide for validly published taxa accepted at the Bromeliad Identification Center. The list contains the following information: 1) Genus number (the left-hand number) based on the systematic sequence published in the Smith & Downs monograph: Bromeliaceae (Flora Neotropica, number 14, parts 1-3; 1974, 1977, 1979). Whole numbers are as published in the monograph. 2) Species number (the second number) according to its systematic position in the monograph. Note: Taxa not included in the monograph or that have been reclassified have been assigned numbers to reflect their systematic position within the Smith & Downs framework (e.g., taxon 14.1 is related to taxon 14). The utility of this method is that one may assume for example that Tillandsia comarapaensis (150.2) is related to T. didisticha (150) and therefore may have certain horticultural qualities in common with that species. 3) Genus and species names follow the respective numbers. 4) Subspecific taxa (subspecies, varieties, forms) names are indented below the species names. Note: Variety "a" (the type variety) is not listed unless it contains a form (see Aechmea caudata ). Similarly, the type form is not listed. 5) Author name follows the specific and subspecific names. These names are included for the convenience of specialist users of the list. This list does not contain publication data or synonymy, as it is not our intent for it to be a technical nomenclatural guide.

  • Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.

  • History of the Company Pelikan
    History of the company Pelikan 1838 In 1832 chemist Carl Hornemann founded his own colour and ink factory in Hanover Germany. Here at Pelikan though we tend to consider the 28th of April 1838 as the founding date, as it was the date on the very first price list. All company anniversaries are therefore based on this date. 1842 On the 15th of June, Hornemann purchased some property in the Hainholz area of Hanover. The idea was to start production on a larger scale after previously having to cook and press the ink in a farmyard 30 km away from Hanover. 1863 Günther Wagner obtained the position of chemist and plant manager. He took over the company in 1871 and registered his family emblem, which showed a Pelican, as the companies logo in 1878. It was one of the first German trademarks ever. In order be able to deliver to Austria, which at the time controlled parts of northern Italy, the Czech republic, Hungary and Croatia, a factory was built in Eger that at a later stage then moved to Vienna. 1838 1842 1863 1881 1895 1896 1901 1906 1912 1913 1929 1931 1934 1938 1950 1960 1972 1973 1974 1978 1982 1993 1995 1996 2000 2003 1881 The production halls were enlarged. The company employed an additional 39 people and Fritz Beindorff. It was his job to visit customers in Austria, Russia and Italy. 1895 Fritz Beindorff then married Günther Wagner’s oldest daugh- ter in 1888 and took over the company. Office products for copying, stamping, sticking and erasing were added to the assortment of the time.
