description: Introducing meal portioning and planning, food labeling and shopping, and whole vs. processed foods in the classroom setting
description: Adolescence is a period of tremendous physiological, psychological, and cognitive transformation during which a child becomes a young adult.  As a result, adolescents require a specific caloric intake.  Although nutrition education has been implemented in most states’ curriculums, studies have shown that adolescents are not consuming the balanced diets they require for sufficient development.  Processed foods have grown dangerously abundant as a result of their convenience, affordability, and rich-flavors.  In turn, teenagers are over consuming energy-dense, processed foods that lack the appropriate nutrients necessary for optimal development.  With the proper education and increased parental involvement in adolescents’ diets, the obesity epidemic and the diagnosis of diet-related chronic diseases will be significantly reduced.  As our service project, we have developed a five day educational program that we hope to teach in the high schools of New Jersey.  On the first day of our program, the students will learn about the MyPyramid food groups, portion sizes, the important nutrients within each food group, and the benefits of eating adequate amounts of these nutrients.  Nutritional and physical differences between processed and whole foods will be discussed on the second day of the program.  The third and fourth days will focus on how to read food labels and how to assemble a five day dinner meal plan.  On the final day, the students will learn how to create a healthy shopping list, highlighting affordability and nutrient content.  With this program we hope to start an epidemic of health conscious eating amongst adolescent populations, ultimately reducing the incidence of chronic diseases.

description: Incorporating transgenic plants into an organic farming system
description: With eminent climate change and a rapidly expanding human population, food safety and availability is rapidly becoming a world issue. Organic methods of farming offer a sustainable alternative to conventional farming systems providing healthier and fresher fruits and vegetables to those who chose to consume them. However, organic foods are a small part of the agriculture market and the cost of purchasing them may hinder many from purchasing them instead of conventionally-grown produce. In an environment where obtaining food is a major issue, organic foods may in the future become even more rare and expensive if available at all. By incorporating transgenic technology, which is known to confer drought, cold, and pest resistance besides many other valuable characteristics, into an organic growing environment, yields would be significantly improved ultimately resulting in more availability and lower costs for the consumer seeking Organic foods. This would allow organics to expand into the present agricultural market and help to keep this valuable resource for future generations. A major obstruction to this union is the widespread fear of trangenics and strong opposition of this technology by many organic food activists. As part of our service project, we hope to put this union into action by designing a plan to obtain GM seeds from a seed company and plant them in an urban gardening setting in New Brunswick. If we are able to enact this system along with community involvement, this would allow us to educate the local community and help reduce the fear associated with transgenic plants. Because this idea is relatively revolutionary and has never been officially put into action by any grower, it would be expected to make the news in the agricultural community.

description: An investigation into the disparity of health care and medical treatments amongst the homeless and indigent population
description: Throughout the modern world there exists a strong correlation between an individual’s socio economic status and poor health. Not surprisingly, exposure to risk factors tends to be greater in this population which increases the rates of morbidity and mortality of various acute and chronic illnesses. Limiting exposure to these risk factors reduces these rates but is usually a result of a dramatic change in the lifestyles of each individual, a problem that must be addressed by society on a much larger scale than we could focus our project on. Therefore, we would not be able to tackle the issue from an economic standpoint but we believe that we can make a difference by investigating the inherent disparity of health care and medical treatment amongst the homeless and indigent population in our community. We choose to research three specific illnesses; coronary heart disease, sexually transmitted diseases, and mental illnesses and their prevalence in lower socio economic communities. These illnesses are common across all economic statuses but we were interested in why rates tend to be higher in lower statuses and how to combat this disparity. What we found was that poor health is directly correlated with poor healthcare which in turn is a direct result of a lower socio economic status. We would not be able to affect an individual’s personal economic status at our level but we focused our attention on why individuals received poor health care and what we could do to address this issue.  Further investigation into the health care and medical treatment available in our specific community revealed several health outreach programs that were accessible to the homeless and indigent population. Therefore, our project was focused on raising awareness of these programs and helping individuals receive quality health care and medical treatments when needed. In order to do so, we raised money to purchase a few basic health care items including hand sanitizer, shaving, and oral hygiene products.  We then distributed them, with information detailing the programs available, to individuals at Elijah’s Soup Kitchen in downtown New Brunswick, NJ with the hopes that we could help individuals get the health care they needed. Our intentions were to help at least one person get the health care that they may need and if we were able to do so then we feel we made a positive impact on our community and the time and effort put into the project was well spent.

Mecinus kaemmereri Wagner, 1927: 96. Toševski et al., 2011: 747.
Type locality. Monti Rossi (Nicolosi, Sicily).
Type series. Wagner described M. kaemmereri from specimens collected on Monti Rossi near Nicolosi (Sicily) on Linaria purpurea (L.) Mill., and reported that this new species is very closely related to M. janthinus from which it differs by its bigger size, the more curved and longer rostrum in both sexes and antennae with stouter funicle and longer club. At NHMB (Frey's collection) we examined a syntype labelled: “ Sicilia, Mti. Rossi b., Nicolosi a. Aetna, V.26 / Mecinus Kämmereri, Wagner det.”.
Redescription. As in M. janthinus, except: body generally larger (length 3.3–6.0 mm), rostrum longer (Rl/Pl male 0.89–1.02; female 1.10–1.20) (Fig. 88), in female with apical half less sculptured.
Variability. The rostrum varies somewhat in curvature in female, with the typical specimen having the rostrum distinctly more curved than the other examined specimens.
Remarks and comparative notes. It differs from M. janthinus and M. janthiniformis by the shape of the rostrum, which is longer, less sculptured and nearly straight in lateral view in its apical half especially in the female. Moreover, M. kaemmereri is usually larger than M. janthinus, to which it is more closely phylogenetically related than M. janthiniformis based on a molecular study (Toševski et al. 2011) and is probably a vicariant in Calabria and Sicily. Therefore the hypothesis by Toševski et al. (2011) that M. kaemmereri might be considered a subspecies of M. janthinus appears reasonable.
Biological notes. This species feeds only on Linaria purpurea (L.) Mill. (C. Baviera pers. obs.), which is an endemic plant of central and southern Italy and Sicily.
Distribution. Italy (Calabria, Sicily).
Non-type specimens examined. ITALY: Calabria, Aspromonte, Gambarie, 1565 m, 2.VII.2011, on Linaria purpurea, Baviera leg. (2, CBCM); Calabria, Aspromonte, S.

description: A comprehensive study of the effects of excessive and unlawful vehicular and Rutgers bus route idling
description: Idling has been shown to produce dangerous pollutants into the environment. In New Jersey, particular laws are in place that restrict the time vehicles are permitted to idle.  For buses, the law states that buses are prohibited from idling for “no more than 15 consecutive minutes in a 60-minute period while passengers are actively loading and unloading buses”. This law was used as the foundation for studying idling times of buses around Rutgers University New Brunswick Campus.  Results indicate that all buses exceed the 15 minute idling law for New Jersey with particular buses severely violating the law.  In particular, the Commuter bus route had the worst idling time of 38 minutes and 45 seconds with about 59% idling within an hour.  Conclusions for this study indicate that the New Brunswick buses are in violation of the New Jersey idling law and efforts to reduce the release of dangerous pollutants should be implicated.

description: The dangers of cigarettes and the regulation of electronic and conventional cigarettes
description: Cigarettes have been a long-standing issue in the United States for many years already, but we want to raise awareness about newer alternatives to smoking cigarettes. There have been numerous public service announcements, programs, charities, organizations, government bills and laws, advertisements, commercials and so much more to raise awareness and educate people on the dangers of smoking cigarettes. After so many years of redundancy, the American people have been drilled with the unhealthy consequences of smoking, but current smokers have limited choices when it comes to alternative smoking choices and nicotine replacements. We want to raise awareness about the newest alternative recently introduced into world of quitting smoking: electronic cigarettes.  These “esmokes” were invented recently and claim to be a tobacco-free device that delivers only nicotine to the smoker, and on exhalation the smoker only blows out water vapor. In theory, this seems like a practical and useful tool to help smokers quit, but several questions and controversies will arise.  Who and where can electronic cigarettes be sold?  Who is allowed to manufacture them? How much nicotine should be in the device? We have decided to write a prototype of a legislative bill to regulate the manufacture and distribution of electronic cigarettes.

description: Prevalence of diabetes in NJ residents of low socioeconomic status
description: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complex disease involving the body’s inability to properly metabolize blood glucose. There are many preventative measures to avoid or reduce the risk of developing the disease. For example, watching one’s diet and maintaining a normal body weight are two important aspects of a healthy lifestyle. However, there are also risk factors that are uncontrollable, such as genetics, age, gestational diabetes, or being a certain race or ethnicity (African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians) that lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. When we look at the low socioeconomic status population in New Jersey, the concern rises because they are often the targets of many uncontrollable risk factors. Poverty has steadily increased, which puts an increasingly larger population at a difficult place in terms of managing diabetes. Once diagnosed, it is important that diabetes is properly treated and controlled; this disease requires people to alter their lifestyle so that it will not cause greater complications. For our community service project, we wanted to make people aware and educate the less fortunate about type 2 diabetes. With this goal, we decided to use donated Diabetes awareness pamphlets from the American Diabetes Association to provide awareness to the local low income, at risk population.  We set up a table of information and shared our knowledge with the people at Elijah’s Promise, the local soup kitchen in New Brunswick.

description: Treating depression can sometimes be the most arduous task in a person’s life. This illness is debilitating to a person and can lead to drastic and dangerous forms of treatment. Many who are depressed will turn to alcohol to treat their ailing depressive thoughts and feelings. Alcohol is a drug classified as a depressant, which means it has a depressing effect on the central nervous system and may cause slowed pulse, poor concentration, confusion, fatigue, impaired coordination, memory , judgement, respiratory depression and death. Our service project will be coordinated with the “Happy Hour” program which takes place on the Cook Campus, at Rutgers University. “Happy Hour” is an informative session where students can discuss matters which interest them, specifically the effects of alcohol on depression. This paper will outline the general facts on depression, as well as give a clear understanding on alcohol abuse. At the end, one should have a clearer understanding as to why depression should never be treated with alcohol.

description: An inside look at casinos including their “traps”, psychological effects, and odds of winning
description: Casinos can be one of the most exciting places. The moment someone steps in one, they are surrounded by flashing lights, screaming people, and thousands of chips.  People go to casinos in the hopes of winning millions. While some people hit it big, most people leave the casino with less money than they had before, often times a lot more than they had. Casinos prey off the weakness of most people by offering several table games, perks such as rooms, food, alcohol, and false illusions. With most of the table games, the casinos are the odds on favorite to win most games. Even if someone wins multiple games, the casino has the odds to win in the long run.  All these factors can fuel knowingly or unknowingly what is becoming a growing addiction: gambling. While most casinos offer people help by giving them a number to call or a group to offer support, they still fuel this addiction because without people gambling, they have no business. Casinos can be quite an experience if someone knows what to expect, what to avoid, and how to stay in control.

The media surrounds us and drills into our head images of what people should look like. Bullying also has a large effect on body image because people are always trying to fit in and want to be judged positively by their peers. Bullying is a big issue today and there are many ways to help put an end to it. Anti-bullying Body Image Booster Program is a program to be implemented in schools to educate students on the negative effects bullying, and also the media, can have on a person’s self perception and how to help put an end to that in hopes of increasing positive body image.

We will review the animal shelter regulations for the state of New Jersey, observe operating shelters in order to see which design options work best, research current animal shelter statistics to evaluate whether or not there is a need for an animal shelter, develop supportive reasoning for why having a shelter on campus would be beneficial, and submit our ideas to the appropriate parties.

description: An online certificate course on animal shelter management at Rutgers University
description: Due to a continuous and ever increasing population of domesticated animals, most namely dogs and cats, the inability to care of each and every one of them becomes apparent. This leads to a poor quality of life for some of these animals, often times causing animal abuse, neglect, or starvation. As a result, animal shelters become considerably more important as a way to help and care for animals. However, currently many animal shelters do not require their personnel to participate in any sort of formal training program.  By offering an online course in animal shelter management, shelter staff can become certified and better qualified to handle and care for the animals within the shelter. There are many important topics covered in the course, divided into 14 weeks. Some of the topics include nutrition, disease and disease control, and even animal training. This course will ultimately aid in improving the welfare of animals living in shelters.

description: Kitty litter contaminated with the parasite T. gondii has harmful effects on oceanic ecosystems.
description: Toxoplasma gondii, which is transmitted through cat feces, has neurological effects on other mammals. When kitty litter is flushed down the toilet, parasitic spores end up in the ocean where mammals such as sea otters ingest the spores. These spores alter the mammals’ brain functions causing them to approach their natural predators rather than avoid them. This has been leading to a decline in sea otter population. This is a serious issue that can be solved by educating the public about the proper ways to dispose of kitty litter.

description: Working independently to promote locally raised livestock and discourage the mass production of meat
description: Factory farming, or industrial agriculture, is the practice of raising animals in confinement or under extremely strict conditions. Essentially, the farm employs factory practices in order to produce the highest output at the lowest cost to the consumer. The animals are kept in crowded and often unsanitary conditions, injected with hormones, and fed an unnatural diet in order to accelerate growth. The operation of factory farms raises many controversial issues including animal welfare, environmental impact, and human health risks. By utilizing the already established Jersey Fresh program, we hope to slow the proliferation of commercially produced livestock and transition to more locally grown, environmentally friendly and health-conscious meats.

Two major areas that our group decided to focus on are Newark, NJ and Middlesex County, NJ. Research showed that the vast majority of the populations in these two New Jersey cities are living below the poverty line and therefore do not have enough to eat. As our community service project, we propose the collection leftover bakery items from local Pathmark Supermarkets and deliver them two key locations; Project Solution Homeless Shelter in Newark and Meals on Wheels of New Brunswick.

description: Establishment of website,“valuable wastes”, to enhance productivity and “green method” of biomass to bio-fuels
description: Biomass is any waste that can be biologically degraded anaerobically or aerobically to produce bio-energy / “green” energy. Sadly its great potential are not used efficiently and all kinds of wastes end up in landfills where it greatly contributes to global warming. The decomposition of bio-waste releases methane gas into the atmosphere. Methane gas is considered a much more effective green house gas compare to carbon dioxide in the terms of its ability to trap heat. However, methane also is a major constituent of natural gas and some landfills use its emission as energy source. Even though municipal waste disposal is regulated by each State and individual county there are many illegal landfills and small unregulated farms, all negatively impacting our environment. For instance, food waste attracts wild life, which portrays a potential danger to humans and domesticated animals by carrying viruses like SARS and rabies. Soil and groundwater contamination, as well as air pollution are issue that could be reduced by the proper disposal of biodegradable waste to sites that make use of its potential. Therefore, it is important to manage biomass by collecting methane gas or recycle into other goods. Our project is to allocate the sources of biomass and create a network that can connect the sources with recycling stations or companies that would like to generate “green” energy from biomass.

description: A Ventriculocordectomy, commonly known as devocalization, is a very invasive procedure and can cause many health problems. There are many individuals, groups and organizations that have conflicting views and varying ethical concerns regarding canine devocalization. As an alternative to the surgery, we have developed a business plan, Save the Voice, in which owners could bring their animals to be properly trained. Our goal is to ban devocalization in the United States beginning with New Jersey. We have prepared a legislative bill which we will send to Bob Smith, Legislator of District 17 (New Brunswick Area) to propose a complete ban of this surgery without appropriate medical reasoning.

Remarks. Gerling and Limon (1976) brought the host Spodoptera exempta from Kenya to Israel and reared parasitoids of E. laphygmae in the laboratory at Tel Aviv University, Israel (see above), but it was not released. Euplectrus laphygmae is distributed in the Afrotropical ecoregion (East, Central and South Africa). The species is not native to Israel and therefore is excluded from the list of Israeli Eulophidae as cited by Noyes (2014).

description: In the United States, not only has weight and obesity become a problem for people, but it is also now a problem for pets.  Obesity is the number one nutritional disorder for dogs. It has been estimated that 40% of dogs in this country are either overweight or obese. It’s very easy to look at an overweight or obese animal and think of how cute it looks. However, like in humans, being overweight or obese carries serious risks for animals. An excellent way to facilitate weight loss for people and animals is through a support groups, such as our Facebook group, RU Losers: K9 Edition. This type of forum provides the support and motivation for people to make healthier permanent lifestyle choices for them and their pets.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled new ways to satisfy information needs. Although great strides have been made in applying them to settings like document ranking and short-form text generation, they still struggle to compose complete, accurate, and verifiable long-form reports. Reports with these qualities are necessary to satisfy the complex, nuanced, or multi-faceted information needs of users. In this perspective paper, we draw together opinions from industry and academia, and from a variety of related research areas, to present our vision for automatic report generation, and -- critically -- a flexible framework by which such reports can be evaluated. In contrast with other summarization tasks, automatic report generation starts with a detailed description of an information need, stating the necessary background, requirements, and scope of the report. Further, the generated reports should be complete, accurate, and verifiable. These qualities, which are desirable -- if not required -- in many analytic report-writing settings, require rethinking how to build and evaluate systems that exhibit these qualities. To foster new efforts in building these systems, we present an evaluation framework that draws on ideas found in various evaluations. To test completeness and accuracy, the framework uses nuggets of information, expressed as questions and answers, that need to be part of any high-quality generated report. Additionally, evaluation of citations that map claims made in the report to their source documents ensures verifiability.
