Pain at the Pump: The relationship between gas prices and transit ridership in urban and rural counties of Vermont
I researched gas price and transit ridership data in the rural state of Vermont by county in the time period from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2013. My research has addressed the topic of understanding transit ridership, specifically in rural or micropolitan areas. Previous literature shows a lack of research on the relationship between transit ridership and gas prices in rural areas. I have used SPSS Statistical software and Excel to determine the relationship between Vermont gas prices and monthly ridership data from the various transit authorities throughout Vermont. I have discovered a statistically significant correlation between public transit ridership and gas prices in the one urban county in Vermont. Additionally, I found a statistically significant relationship in one rural county of Vermont, with the correlation becoming more significant once I lagged the gas price data. Using population density and information about each transit authority, I have determined that there is a statistically significant relationship between gas prices and ridership in urban counties of Vermont. I recommend Vermont adjust its gas tax in order to incentivize the use of public transit in more urban counties where there is greater access to public transit
Montessori Identity in Dialogue: A Selected Review of Literature on Teacher Identity
Montessori teacher education includes an intensive and ongoing teacher transformation. This experience aids in the development of a clearly defined teacher identity. Research on teacher identity broadly has shown that while such an identity can offer guidance and support, it can also limit teachers and prevent them from exploring other strategies that may support them and, in turn, their students (e.g., Beauchamp & Thomas, 2009; Britzman, 2003; Sumsion, 2002). This effect is problematic when teachers face moments of uncertainty and dilemmas in their teaching practice. As Montessori classrooms become increasingly diverse, teachers may need to adopt identities that are not explicitly defined in Montessori teacher transformation. This review of literature examines components of a Montessori teacher identity and, broadly, the effects of teacher identity as well as elements of antibias and antiracist teacher-identity development that includes inner reflection and an activist approach to teaching.
 
Creating Online Training Modules for Student Employees at the California Polytechnic State University Dairy Using Train Trac
The purpose of this project was to create training modules for the Cal Poly Dairy. The author’s goal was to incorporate the safety aspect of dairy work into the modules as well. To properly obtain all the necessary information for the modules, the author first had to compile lists from the Cal Poly Dairy’s written standard operating procedures. From here, the majority of time was used to gather video and picture content using a surface tablet that would later be used in the online modules. Once the content was gathered, it had to be organized into files for each module that was going to be created. The next step was to go through each file and edit the photos by adding text and diagrams to them and voice recording over all of the videos explaining to the viewer what was happening. A microphone USB was used to acquire audio for the modules. After the editing was done, it was time to upload the content to the online program
No compromise between metabolism and behavior of decorator crabs in reduced pH conditions.
Many marine calcifiers experience metabolic costs when exposed to experimental ocean acidification conditions, potentially limiting the energy available to support regulatory processes and behaviors. Decorator crabs expend energy on decoration camouflage and may face acute trade-offs under environmental stress. We hypothesized that under reduced pH conditions, decorator crabs will be energy limited and allocate energy towards growth and calcification at the expense of decoration behavior. Decorator crabs, Pelia tumida, were exposed to ambient (8.01) and reduced (7.74) pH conditions for five weeks. Half of the animals in each treatment were given sponge to decorate with. Animals were analyzed for changes in body mass, exoskeleton mineral content (Ca and Mg), organic content (a proxy for metabolism), and decoration behavior (sponge mass and percent cover). Overall, decorator crabs showed no signs of energy limitation under reduced pH conditions. Exoskeleton mineral content, body mass, and organic content of crabs remained the same across pH and decoration treatments, with no effect of reduced pH on decoration behavior. Despite being a relatively inactive, osmoconforming species, Pelia tumida is able to maintain multiple regulatory processes and behavior when exposed to environmental pH stress, which underscores the complexity of responses within Crustacea to ocean acidification conditions
A systematic literature review of between-class ability grouping in Australia: Enduring tensions, new directions
Ability grouping of students into separate classes within a school can be called ‘betweenclass ability grouping’. This practice has persisted in Australia despite evidence that it is
socially inequitable and does not improve academic outcomes. A systematic review of
peer-reviewed literature about between-class ability grouping in Australia from 2012-
2022 reveals only N=28 papers that meet the inclusion criteria. These papers are
critiqued and synthesised into four main findings that characterise Australian research
about between-class ability grouping from 2012-2022. The findings reveal a lack of
substantive inquiry with most studies having limited scope and drawing on outdated or
overly generalised data. International studies gloss over vital details about how betweenclass ability grouping is practised in Australia, while research conducted from within
Australia reflects enduring tensions between gifted and talented, and social equity
agendas. Further research that characterises the range of Australian grouping practices
and their effects on students could be used to inform decisions about how to group
students into classes in secondary schools
