How Christianity is Experienced on a College Campus

This is a qualitative study of the experiences of traditional college students who choose to attend a Christian organization on the University of New Hampshire campus. Information was gathered through both ethnographic research and two indepth interviews. The results of this study showed that college had a significant impact on how religion was experienced, whether it increased religious inclinations or decreased them. The social expectations of the Christian organization represented a specific way of life, with specific rules to follow. Most students expressed dedication to these rules and adopted them into their own life. A few members chose to only include some aspects of the religion, and the group, into their lives. Results show that involvement in this organization and religion had affect on daily life. The larger implications of this research show the importance of the unique experience being Christian in a college setting

Lone Axes in Outer Space

Handel and Mosher define the axis bundle for a fully irreducible outer automorphism in "Axes in Outer Space." In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the axis bundle to consist of a unique periodic fold line. As a consequence, we give a setting, and means for identifying in this setting, when two elements of an outer automorphism group $Out(F_r)$ have conjugate powers.Comment: Significant revisions for the sake of readability, several arguments filled i

Cognitive and Neural Correlates of Coping and Resilience in Depression

Depression is one of the most prevalent and devastating psychological disorders, often with a chronic or remitting/reoccurring course. The inability to effectively cope with stress and negative life events has been strongly linked to the development and maintenance of depression symptoms; yet, the cognitive and biological processes underlying the complex and multidimensional behavioral construct of coping are not well understood. Using a combination of self-report measures, computerized cognitive tasks, and scalp electroencephalography (EEG) methodologies, the present study investigated associations between specific executive function abilities (i.e., inhibition and set-shifting), underlying neural activity, coping strategy and flexibility, and depression symptoms. Results did not support the primary study hypotheses predicting coping to mediate the relation between executive dysfunction and depression symptoms. Post-hoc correlational analyses elucidated relations between various components of coping strategy and depression symptomatology, and further demonstrated associations with frontocentral N200/P300 and parietal P300 peak latencies
