- Abstract/Description
-
Sleep and feeding are processes essential to nearly all complex organisms, impacting the behavioral output of an animal through homeostatic drive. In Drosophila melanogaster it has been shown that starvation leads to sleep suppression through the signaling of core clock proteins that regulate the animal circadian rhythm. Furthermore overexpression of short neuropeptide, a sleep-promoting inhibitory modulator, increases sleep in animals and alters feeding behavior. While these findings provide...
Show moreSleep and feeding are processes essential to nearly all complex organisms, impacting the behavioral output of an animal through homeostatic drive. In Drosophila melanogaster it has been shown that starvation leads to sleep suppression through the signaling of core clock proteins that regulate the animal circadian rhythm. Furthermore overexpression of short neuropeptide, a sleep-promoting inhibitory modulator, increases sleep in animals and alters feeding behavior. While these findings provide a framework of the interaction between the pressures to feed and sleep, they are bi-modal shifts, limiting the understanding of this relationship between to its extreme states. Using the Activity Recording CAFÉ ARC, a tool for measuring the sleep and feeding of individual flies, we tuned either behavior and observed corresponding effects. By shifting food concentrations we are able to control hunger state of an animal while recording its sleep and activity patterns. By coupling this system with a gentle air puff we were also able to control sleep while measuring feeding. We found that the hunger state of an animal had a direct effect on sleep and sleep consolidation. Conversely, we show that increasing sleep pressure led to increased feeding and reduced satiety as calculated through the animal’s prandial behavior. In addition, we show that the direct relationship of the sleep/feeding is disrupted by core clock gene mutations but not by secondary clock genes such as period. By use of the ARC and bi-directional perturbation, we provide a higher resolution understanding of the sleep-feeding axis.

- Abstract/Description

Dry-cast reinforced concrete pipes (D-C-RCP) have been used as drainage pipes by the Florida Department of Transportation and other DOTs in the United States. Corrosion of the steel reinforcement embedded in concrete is a major economic burden for bridges and other structures subjected to de-icing salts, or harsh marine environments.

Show moreDry-cast reinforced concrete pipes (D-C-RCP) have been used as drainage pipes by the Florida Department of Transportation and other DOTs in the United States. Corrosion of the steel reinforcement embedded in concrete is a major economic burden for bridges and other structures subjected to de-icing salts, or harsh marine environments. This study investigates the corrosion propagation of instrumented specimens obtained from segments of two types of D-CRCPs (Types F and C). The objectives of this study are to better understand the mechanism of corrosion propagation in D-C-RCPs and to identify the factors that affect the corrosion propagation. Potential, depolarization, linear polarization resistance (LPR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were carried out to monitor the corrosion condition and the mechanistic properties of the reinforcement. A galvanostatic approach was used to accelerate the chloride transport to the steel surface until corrosion initiated. Once the specimen was declared active, the electric field was suspended. For ~250 days, the corrosion was monitored in the laboratory environment. The specimens were then transferred to a high humidity chamber and anodically polarized with a galvanostat to accelerate the corrosion propagation. The specimens were disconnected every two weeks to perform depolarization, LPR and EIS measurements. In the high humidity environment, type F specimens are exhibiting a higher corrosion rate most likely due to the smaller concrete cover allowing the chlorides to reach the steel rebar surface quicker and reach a higher chloride concentration. Results will be compared with conventional gravimetric weight loss measurements.

The property is being developed to provide authentic multisensory hands-on learning for students at Jupiter Middle School. The lessons will focus on providing multifaceted understanding in the areas of ecology, conservation, weather, cycles in nature, as well as respect for nature. These learning opportunities will be designed with the additional objective that the students have an opportunity to develop real-life science inquiry and problem solving skills leading toward self-sufficiency and confidence. An outdoor classroom is a natural area which is set aside or developed for students to practice skills related to field studies and to learn about the interactions of species within ecosystems through hands on multisensory experiences. These areas are also referred to as schoolyard habitats or habitat restoration projects. There is compelling evidence that this type of place based environmental learning will be beneficial to middle school students socially, academically, and behaviorally Bell et al., 2009; Berman, 2008; Cole & Hall, 2010; Dillon, et al., 2006; Ernst & Monroe, 2006; Kaplan, 1995; Louv, 2008; Smith & Sobel, 2010; Wheeler & Thumlert, 2007.
