IMPROVING EDUCATION ACCESS & QUALITY ACROSS TITLE I SCHOOLS IN DURHAM COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH A NUTRITION-BASED CURRICULUM AND SCHOOL-BASED FARMERS MARKET PROGRAM

Higher levels of education have been seen to influence health. The social determinants of health that include education can have a range of effects on society. Health literacy is the ability of individuals to find and access health resources. Access to and quality of education can develop health literacy in communities, which affects local health disparities. The goal of this capstone project is to comprehend how education quality in Durham County, North Carolina's school-age population could be affected by a school-based nutrition and farmer's market program. The proposed intervention will prioritize students in Grades 5 through 8 in Title I Schools in Durham County, North Carolina.Master of Public Healt

Diel and seasonal changes of biogenic volatile organic compounds within and above an Amazonian rainforest

The Amazonian rainforest is a large tropical ecosystem, which is one of the last pristine continental terrains. This ecosystem is ideally located for the study of diel and seasonal behaviour of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in the absence of local human interference. In this study, we report the first atmospheric BVOC measurements at the Amazonian Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) site, located in central Amazonia. A quadrupole proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometer (PTR-MS), with seven ambient air inlets, positioned from near ground to about 80 m (0.05, 0.5, 4, 24, 38, 53 and 79 m above the forest floor), was deployed for BVOC monitoring. We report diel and seasonal (February-March 2013 as wet season and September 2013 as dry season) ambient mixing ratios for isoprene, monoterpenes, isoprene oxidation products, acetaldehyde, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methanol and acetonitrile. Clear diel and seasonal patterns were observed for all compounds. In general, lower mixing ratios were observed during night, while maximum mixing ratios were observed during the wet season (February-March 2013), with the peak in solar irradiation at 12:00 LT (local time) and during the dry season (September 2013) with the peak in temperature at 16:00 LT. Isoprene and monoterpene mixing ratios were the highest within the canopy with a median of 7.6 and 1 ppb, respectively (interquartile range (IQR) of 6.1 and 0.38 ppb) during the dry season (at 24 m, from 12:00 to 15:00 LT). The increased contribution of oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs) above the canopy indicated a transition from dominating forest emissions during the wet season (when mixing ratios were higher than within the canopy), to a blend of biogenic emission, photochemical production and advection during the dry season when mixing ratios were higher above the canopy. Our observations suggest strong seasonal interactions between environmental (insolation, temperature) and biological (phenology) drivers of leaf BVOC emissions and atmospheric chemistry. Considerable differences in the magnitude of BVOC mixing ratios, as compared to other reports of Amazonian BVOC, demonstrate the need for long-term observations at different sites and more standardized measurement procedures, in order to better characterize the natural exchange of BVOCs between the Amazonian rainforest and the atmosphere. © Author(s) 2015

The generation of quasi-continuous trains of dark soliton-like pulses

We have generated and propagated high repetition rate (up to 60 GHz) quasi-continuous trains of dark soliton-like pulses at 850 nm in 2 km of fiber. The experimental results are in good agreement with numerical simulations which have been used to diagnose the dark soliton properties of the generated pulses.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Tree-ring isotopes capture interannual vegetation productivity dynamics at the biome scale

Historical and future trends in net primary productivity (NPP) and its sensitivity to global change are largely unknown because of the lack of long-term, high-resolution data. Here we test whether annually resolved tree-ring stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotopes can be used as proxies for reconstructing past NPP. Stable isotope chronologies from four sites within three distinct hydroclimatic environments in the eastern United States (US) were compared in time and space against satellite-derived NPP products, including the long-term Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS3g) NPP (1982-2011), the newest high-resolution Landsat NPP (1986-2015), and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS, 2001-2015) NPP. We show that tree-ring isotopes, in particular δ18O, correlate strongly with satellite NPP estimates at both local and large geographical scales in the eastern US. These findings represent an important breakthrough for estimating interannual variability and long-term changes in terrestrial productivity at the biome scale.Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Climate Center grant; National Science Foundation [PLR 15-04134]; Swiss National Science Foundation [P2EZP2_152213, P300P2_164637]; Columbia University's Center for Climate and LifeOpen access journalThis item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
