Show moreThe purpose of this document is to provide an informed opinion on future climate scenarios relevant to Florida. It offers a primer on Florida's vulnerabilities to climate variability and change. The document is an excellent compilation of diverse viewpoints on future climate projection. It implores the readers to be cognizant of the associated uncertainty but not to use that as an excuse for inaction in climate adaptation and mitigation. Experts in diverse fields employed in institutions across Florida have contributed to this document and provided candid and informed assessments of future climate variation and change. The uniqueness of this document is that it broadens the discussion of a rather restrictive sounding title like "climate scenarios" to involve experts in sociology, environmental law, and economics, in addition to oceanography and meteorology. The earth's climate is a very complex system. Climate is intimately interrelated to many components of the earth system. However, climate is not limited to these interactions alone. It also includes the modulation of these interactions by external factors such as anthropogenic influence (or interference), volcanic eruptions, changes in solar activity, and changing planetary factors like orbital eccentricity, obliquity, and precession. Against this backdrop of complexity, this paper has tried to distill the information that is relevant to Florida. It is well understood that climate has no borders, and yet we focus here on Florida because of the huge demand for locally applicable information on climate change and variation. Therefore, time and again throughout this paper the impact of remote climate variations and change on Florida is emphasized. Finally this document provides some initial suggestions to further fortify our understanding of the impact of global climate change on Florida. The caveat however, is that these fledgling suggestions will have to be further molded by a developing synergy between the federal, state, private stakeholders and university researchers.

In today's economic environment, there are pressures to fundraise throughout all of the academic units at colleges and universities, including libraries. Unfortunately, however, there is no natural constituency for the academic library. While the library may have been instrumental in their successful academic career, alumni more often than not, feel no loyalty to it, as they might to their department, school, college, or even sports team. The school library, which may have served as the important cog in their academic success, is taken for granted in its apparent supporting role.

Until recently, solidifying a donor base was of little consequence to the academic library; college and university libraries got by with minimal fundraising, often assisted by friends groups that provide financial support via annual membership fees and occasional fundraising events. College and university libraries friends groups are frequently made up of current and retired faculty and librarians, who understand the important role of the campus library. The trick for academic libraries in the current economy is to bring in new life and new blood in support of the library.

A key to this concept is to connect the interests of potential donors with the goals and objectives of the library. Current and retired faculty and library staff understand the importance of the library and its mission; but how can the library communicate its mission in a way that attracts alumni and other community supporters?

Show moreSkillful and reliable precipitation data is essential for seasonal hydrologic forecasting, and generation of hydrological data. Though output from dynamic downscaling methods is used for hydrological application, the existence of systematic errors in dynamically downscaled data adversely affects the skill of hydrologic forecasting. This study evaluates the precipitation data derived by dynamically downscaling the global atmospheric reanalysis data by propagating them through three hydrological models. Hydrological models are calibrated for 28 basins located in the southeast United States (U.S.) that is minimally affected by human intervention. Calibrated hydrological models are forced with five different types of datasets: global (NCEP R2 and ERA40) at their native resolution; dynamically downscaled; synthetically generated; bias-corrected, dynamically downscaled and bias-corrected global reanalysis. Our study indicates that over the 28 watersheds in the southeast U.S., the simulated hydrological response to the biascorrected dynamically downscaled data is superior. In comparison to synthetically generated meteorological forcing, the dynamically downscaled data result in more realistic hydrological simulations. Therefore, we conclude that dynamical downscaling, although resource intensive, is better suited for hydrological simulation in the southeast U.S.

Show moreFrom Dolly Parton to Taylor Swift, country music encompasses a wide range of artists with a variety of unique traits. Public persona plays a large role in the marketing of country music, affecting how audiences respond and relate to artists. Through the citation and analysis of recent news articles, I interpreted the media's response to current country artists relating to their public personas and social media presences. My process consisted of collecting articles from LexisNexis as well as the websites of popular online news sources. The articles, ranging from 2013 to early 2015, were centered around Dolly Parton and her over 60-year-long career, as well as newer country artists such as Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, and Florida-Georgia Line. The majority of articles focused on each artist's specific persona, and how these personas manifest on the internet, television, and live performance. However, each recent article in the database featuring the artists was considered, and I was able to identify a variety of contemporary music industry topics, many of which emerged throughout research process. For example, the internet's effect on the music industry was a subject that kept appearing. Not only does the internet offer streaming services that make music more accessible than ever, but it alters the entire artist-audience dynamic by making once-distant stars more relatable. The internet has also encouraged blending with other genres such as pop and hip-hop,creating new sub-genres and transforming artists into completely unique celebrity personalities.

Show moreIn today's technologically driven society, an increasing amount of everyday literature is presented in electronic formats. People at all levels of socioeconomic status are reading more from phones, tablets, and computer screens on a daily basis than they are from traditional print formats such as books and magazines. Our study sought to identify possible cognitive differences between reading text presented from either paper or electronic formats. We did this specifically by evaluating participant scores on reading comprehension tests based on passages which were edited to be at the same reading grade level. The passages were given in three formats; one paper, one PDF, and one computer software that mimics the mechanics of reading a book (page turning, highlighting text, etc.). We started off by giving each participant two standardized tests on comprehension and problem solving to control for individual differences. We then administered the three passages in a randomized order and format. Based on our preliminary literature review and the data we have collected so far, our tentative result is that reading comprehension scores will be higher for the paper format and then be followed by the flipbook software and PDF formats respectively.

Show moreThis project analyzes how elite actors influence democracy in contexts of high levels of public anxiety. Drawing from work on Affective Intelligence in Political Psychology, the project provides a theoretical explanation for the varying response of anxious citizens threatened by high rates of physical insecurity. Specifically, the project describes how elites affect public attitudes in the face of the extraordinary crime wave in Latin America. In so doing, it also explains previously inconsistent findings on crime's effect on democratic attitudes. Using a mixed-method strategy of elite interviews in Venezuela and Honduras as well as analysis of survey data throughout the region, the examination finds that elite opinion about crime conditions the effect of anxiety on mass democratic attitudes. When political elites emphasize anti-democratic policies, anxious citizens express more support for authoritarian principles and less support for democracy. When elites promote more democratic solutions, the effect of anxiety is null.

Show moreThe accuracy of Wikipedia is often debated, due to the fact that anyone is allowed to edit the website's articles. The purpose of this project is to analyze how various events from the Second World War, specifically those events related to and orchestrated by Nazi Germany, are explained on the English version of Wikipedia, and to see if they are similarly described on the corresponding pages of other languages' versions of the site. This allows for comparison of how certain aspects of history are perceived by different countries, and can also be used as a means to research the accuracy with which historical events are depicted. This is done by analyzing the articles on a variety of levels: information given, word count, number of references and sources, the articles' tones, the edit histories (specifically the parts of the articles which are most often revised), and how word choices and descriptions differ between articles. After examining Wikipedia, research is done wherein academic sources written in the non-English target languages are found and studied. These sources are analyzed using similar methods to the above, and are additionally used as a means to gather information on topics that Wikipedia does not thoroughly cover.

Adjective checklists allow parents to choose from an extensive inventory of adjectives that best describe their child. The Gifted Rating Scales- School Form (GRS-S) provides teachers with the opportunity to rate their students in different domains related to ability and potential for achievement. Participants for this study consisted of the parents and teachers of 152 students ranging from third through twelfth grade attending a K-12 research charter school. A total of 92 female and 60 male students, and 29 teachers participated in the study. Each teacher completed the GRS-S on students in their classroom and 152 parents completed the adjective checklist. Students were randomly selected from a stratified population that is reflective of the demographics of the state of Florida. The primary goal of this research is to shed light on differences among students that might contribute to innovation and leadership.

Show moreFor people all over the planet, sea level rise is accelerating and is impacting Floridians directly. Due to the accelerated melting of ice as well as the warming of the ocean, sea level is estimated to rise to significantly damaging levels by the year 2100. Cities such as Miami already suffer from flooding after a mere 6-inch tidal rise. Consequently, local communities must plan alternative strategies and policies to mitigate damage from sea level rise. The U.S. federal government has the financial ability to respond but not the jurisdictional ability to develop on or regulate state-owned or private land. The White House has produced documents like the Presidentâ ’s Climate Action Plan, and other agencies have produced climate change adaptation plans. These encourage local governments to carry out adaptations but do not provide specific strategies. The impacts of climate change will be felt at local levels and many adaptation strategies depend on effective land use and infrastructure management, which are activities undertaken by local governments. Local communities have responded with various climate adaptations and documents, including vulnerability assessments, comprehensive plans, and land use regulations. Through these, Dr. Butler and I are exploring how communities in Florida are responding to the effects of climate change through climate adaptation strategies.

Abstract/Description
Improving knowledge of air-sea exchanges of heat, momentum, fresh water, and gases is critical to understanding climate, and this is particularly true in high-latitude regions, where anthropogenic climate change is predicted to be exceptionally rapid. However, observations of these fluxes are extremely scarce in the Arctic, the Southern Ocean, and the Antarctic marginal seas. High winds, high sea state, extreme cold temperatures, seasonal sea ice, and the remoteness of the regions all...
Show moreImproving knowledge of air-sea exchanges of heat, momentum, fresh water, and gases is critical to understanding climate, and this is particularly true in high-latitude regions, where anthropogenic climate change is predicted to be exceptionally rapid. However, observations of these fluxes are extremely scarce in the Arctic, the Southern Ocean, and the Antarctic marginal seas. High winds, high sea state, extreme cold temperatures, seasonal sea ice, and the remoteness of the regions all conspire to make observations difficult to obtain. Annually averaged heat-flux climatologies can differ by more than their means, and in many cases there is no clear consensus about which flux products are most reliable. Although specific flux accuracy requirements for climate research vary depending on the application, in general fluxes would better represent high-latitude processes if wind stresses achieved 0.01Nm-2 accuracy at high wind speed and if heat fluxes achieved 10 W m-2 accuracy (averaged over several days) with 25 km grid spacing. Improvements in flux estimates will require a combination of efforts, including a concerted plan to make better use of ships of opportunity to collect meteorological data, targeted efforts to deploy a few flux moorings in high-wind regions, and improved satellite retrievals of flux-related variables.

Over the years, data management processes, platform selection, workflow improvements, andpolicy developments have changed to improve the curation lifecycle of UHT at FSU. Some of these changes included representation information normalization, format conversion, content migration, copyright management, and digital preservation. This project used The DCC CurationLifecycle Model as a conceptual framework for guiding the idea, development, curation activities, and workflow processes for the preservation of FSU UHTs from 2004-2010. The Metadata Encoding Transmission Standard (METS) was used for the development of Submission Information Packages (SIP) for preservation in the Florida Digital Archive (FDA) using Dark Archive in the Sunshine State (DAITSS) version 2 which entered production April 2011.

Resistance Training Improves Muscular Strength and Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Survivors
Title
Resistance Training Improves Muscular Strength and Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Survivors.
Creator
Coviello, Caitlin, Nutrition, Food, and Exercise Sciences
Abstract/Description
Breast cancer survivors (BCS) encounter side effects from cancer treatments that reduce muscular strength. Studies show resistance training (RT) in BCS can improve strength. One concern with RT in BCS is increasing lymphedema, which is swelling of the arms from lymph node removal and is a common side effect in BCS. Studies suggest low to moderate RT may improve or reduce the risk of developing lymphedema. PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of a moderate to high intensity RT intervention to...
Show moreBreast cancer survivors (BCS) encounter side effects from cancer treatments that reduce muscular strength. Studies show resistance training (RT) in BCS can improve strength. One concern with RT in BCS is increasing lymphedema, which is swelling of the arms from lymph node removal and is a common side effect in BCS. Studies suggest low to moderate RT may improve or reduce the risk of developing lymphedema. PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of a moderate to high intensity RT intervention to improve muscular strength and lymphedema in BCS over a 12-week period. METHODS: Thirty-three (age: 59±8yrs; BMI: 27.2±5.6kg/m2) BCS were measured pre and post training for muscular strength (chest press and leg extension) via one-repetition maximums (1-RM) and handgrip (HG) strength via a HG dynamometer. Lymphedema was monitored at baseline and weeks 5 and 9 by measuring the percent difference in circumference between the involved and uninvolved arm. A positive percent difference indicates the possibility of edema. RT consisted of two days/wk using ten exercises performed for three sets of 10-12 repetitions at ~65-85% of 1-RM. ANOVAs were used to analyze data. Significance was accepted at p<0.05. RESULTS: BCS significantly increased upper (86±22 to 115±29kg) and lower body (97±25 to 116±31kg) strength and HG strength (51±9 to 54±8kg). The average percent difference in upper extremity volume of BCS significantly decreased from 5.6±11.2% at baseline to 2.0±5.6% in week 9. CONCLUSIONS: Twelve weeks of RT at 65-85% of 1-RM was well tolerated and significantly improved muscular strength and decreased lymphedema in BCS.

Show moreThe Cat Project was launched by Owen Mundy in July 2014. The project served to bring awareness of computer and internet privacy by displaying the location of one million cats on a global map using geotags and metadata. The website displaying the map went viral the first day it launched and this research attempts to discover why. To do this, data from various news websites displaying articles about the Cat Project was gathered. Some examples of data collected are average reading level of the articles, word count, date written, number of shares to social media, etc. This dependent data was compared to the number of page visits and links to the I Know Where your Cat Lives Website. Data for the largest source of referrals to the website and session duration time was also collected and compared to the other variables concerning these websites. From this data, it cannot be determined whether going viral is a predicable phenomenon. With future research, more data can be collected and more in-depth analysis can be applied to determine whether it's possible to predict a topic or website's ability to go viral and if so, what variables determine viralness.
