PNG voucher material: (5 spec.) AMS IB. 7938 (holotype), female 735 mm TL, New Guinea via Taronga Park Zoo Aquarium, received Oct. 1967; IRSNB 18574, adult male, Laing Island, Madang, 4°13.73’ S, 144°56.57’ E, Jan. to Jun. 1976; NTUM 10173, adult male 638 mm TL, south of Urembo Island, 5°15.9’ S, 145°47.1’ E, 18– 27 m depth, 6 Dec. 2012; SMNS 4836, female 668 mm TL, New Guinea; USNM 221701, adult male 594 mm TL, southern tip of Massas Island, Madang, 5°10’ S, 145°50’ E, 6 Nov. 1978.
Remarks: First described based on a New Guinea specimen sent to Taronga Zoo by Whitley (1967). Dingerkus & De Fino (1983) incorrectly assumed the type locality was Port Moresby area but Allen et al. (2016) confirmed this species only occurs in northern New Guinea from Jayapura in West Papua to Madang in PNG.
Recent molecular data (ND2 data) suggest that the West Papua and PNG specimens may represent different species and some coloration differences are evident between specimens from these locations. One specimen, SMNS 4836, has only the location ‘New Guinea’ on the label, but given it was collected by a German collector (Schode) and deposited in a German collection, it is presumed this came from northern PNG when it German New Guinea.

description: The advancement in technology has exceeded beyond our capability to maintain privacy in everyday life. No doubt technology helps us get the task done quicker and more conveniently. Yet it has intruded our life to great extent. Recently, several car companies and insurance companies have come up with Motor Vehicle Monitoring Systems. For example, Progressive car insurance has introduce a Snapshot device that claims to be useful for determining the cost of insurance and give discount to customers based on vehicle operational characteristics and driver behavior.  The finding regarding the features of this device reveals that that big brother can track every aspect of life associated with driving a car.

With a national average cost to educate each child being $11,036, America still lags behind other developed countries. How do we get children engaged in the learning process? Perhaps specialized pedagogies are the solution. In response, we hope to found a charter and an application will be submitted to the Pennsylvania Board of Education for a charter in the Quakertown Community School District. Included is a short film that chronicles that last social event held at Haycock Elementary, a tri-fold flyer that will be used as a advert for a day of discussion that follows the showing of the award winning film "Waiting for Superman", a blog (http://ourearthcharter.wordpress.com/) that will serve as a platform where one may publish thoughts and opinions on the charter.
Overcoming Tamoxifen-resistance in Breast Cancer

description: Antiestrogens, particularly tamoxifen, have proven to be effective in the treatment of breast cancer. Resistance to tamoxifen, however, is a serious obstacle in the management of breast cancer. About 40% of ER-positive tumors fail to initially respond to tamoxifen therapy, and of those breast tumors initially responding to tamoxifen many will eventually develop resistance. Thus, a better understanding of the mechanism of antiestrogen resistance could guide and promote new therapeutic strategies for breast cancer treatment. Recent studies have demonstrated that an intracellular signaling molecule, named “Cas”, induces resistance to tamoxifen in cell culture conditions. Furthermore, studies on clinical breast cancer samples have shown that the response to tamoxifen therapy is reduced in patients with primary tumors that express high amounts of Cas. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest that Cas has a causal role in the development of tamoxifen resistance. Our goal is to more completely identify the molecular mechanisms by which Cas confers antiestrogen resistance in breast cancer cells.

 We will utilize molecular and cell biological means to analyze the significance of known Cas-interacting molecules in antiestrogen resistance. Our working model is that Cas interacts with two other molecules, called Crk and BCAR3, and the Rac-JNK pathway is a common pathway with Cas in tamoxifen resistance. Our approach to study Cas involves using a special screening method to detect Cas phosphorylation sites critical to function, and to use gene array technology to find genes associated with resistance. Finally, we will also use a “proteomics” approach to identify mechanisms by which Cas signaling becomes aberrantly activated in breast cancer cells.

 In the present project, we will combine our prior expertise on Cas-mediated signaling in normal cells with powerful novel technologies to examine the molecular mechanisms underlying antiestrogen resistance in breast cancer cells. We anticipate that a successful completion of our studies will form an important basis for the development of prognostic tools for antiestrogen therapy, as well as yield new information that will facilitate pharmacological intervention of antiestrogen resistance.

description: Engaging restaurants to acquire superior food products by adopting locally grown vs. factory farmed foods
description: In today’s fast pace society it is not commonly on a consumers mind about where their food is coming from.  Factory farming is the practice of raising animals in confinement or under very strict conditions. The farm employs specific industrial methods to maximize their product yield. This, more times then none, means limited living quarters in extremely unsanitary conditions. They are force fed an unnatural diet of fat promoting products as well as antibiotics to ward off diseases caused by their density driven environment. These farming tactics not only hinder on the efficacy of human morals but also cause irreparable damage to the environment.   Conversely, locally grown products attribute minimal waste byproduct as well as a more nutritious item for consumption. Local farms in conjunction with farmers markets produce goods with their well-established and untainted methods past down by generations of farming knowledge. With advancement in technology and networking capabilities consumers have developed a local farming database known as the Locavore Network.   These locavores, which are people loyal to the consumption of only locally grown foods, form a community in which supports a superior product and a more sustainable way of life. From our research we have concluded that more people believe local produce is an overall better food source as compared to industrial farmed groceries. These facts provide little evidence as to why industry farms are far more profitable than the local ones.  It has to do, primarily, with the vast opportunities presented to these big business farms.  They have more resources in cultivating, distributing, and controlling the food industry.  In spite of this, we succeeded in connecting a local farm with one of these outlets for widespread circulation.  Hauser Hill Farms was our local source and we proceeded to introduce them to a well-known local restaurant known as the George Street Ale House.  We became the middlemen in this business transaction and supported our local economy.  The details of their agreement are private matters between the two parties and we are not at liberty to discuss particulars.  However, we were successful in our goals and hope something great will transpire for the both of them.
Breast Cancer Studies in a 3-D Cell Culture System

description: Monolayer cell cultures have long served as mainstay models for studies of breast cancer biology studies. However, two-dimensional (2-D) culture conditions fail to replicate tumor architecture, and therefore cannot effectively model the “outside-to- inside” cellular gradients of oxygen and nutrients found in non-vascular regions of the tumor. Persistent metabolic stress provides a breeding ground for malignant progression and for the outgrowth of therapeutically refractory cells. 3-D cultures of breast cancer cells are potentially useful model systems for studies of the roles of metabolic stress in tumor growth and therapeutic responsiveness.

 We plan to use 3-D breast cancer cell cultures to test the integrated hypotheses that spatially-localized hypoxia and nutrient deprivation significantly alters the cellular response to radiotherapy, and that metabolic stress in growing tumors can be exploited for the development of novel therapies that selectively eliminate oxygen and nutrient-starved breast tumor cells. During the project period, we will pursue the following specific aims:

 1) to develop and characterize a panel of 3-D culture systems for detailed studies of the impact of hypoxia and nutrient starvation on breast cancer cell growth and viability.

 2) to determine whether the disruption of cellular bioenergetics by the mTOR inhibitor, rapamycin, selectively enhances the killing of hypoxic breast cancer cells by low-dose radiation.

 Our initial efforts will focus on the optimization of protocols for the preparation of 3-D cultures of established human breast cancer cell lines. We will use these 3-D cultures in conjunction with molecular biochemical, and imaging technologies to comparatively examine the survival, growth, and death pathways that govern the behaviors of cells residing in the outer versus inner zones of the tumor.

 The outcomes of this project will provide the breast cancer research community with improved model systems for studies of the signaling events and environmental interactions that contribute to the progression of breast cancer, and variations in the clinical response to cancer therapy. Studies will also address fundamental questions related to the mechanisms of tumor cell killing by conventional radio- and chemo-therapy. Finally, we believe that stress-signaling pathways represent fertile ground for cancer drug discovery. We propose that studies with 3-D model systems will ultimately lead to the discovery of novel drugs for breast cancer therapy.

description: Raising awareness at Rutgers Gardens of the impact on native habitats
description: Bamboo is a plant native to China that was brought to the United States due to its unique and exotic look. Many use bamboo in a decorative and ornamental fashion, often planting it in their own yards. However, the aesthetic appeal of bamboo masks the fact that the plant is indeed an invasive species in our country, and as with any invasive species, brings consequences that must be dealt with. Once established in the environment, bamboo has ecological impacts that can easily result in overgrowth that is difficult to control, pushing native plants out of their natural environment. People who plant bamboo are often unaware of the methods used to control its spread, such as the installment of physical barriers to stop the spread of the bamboo's rhizomes and tedious cutting of the stalks year after year. In order to address the issue of raising awareness of the invasiveness of the species, our service project focused on addressing the issue in a local bamboo forest found on the public land known as "Rutgers Gardens". Rutgers Gardens contained a bamboo forest that was allowed to grow to an immense size. When people see the forest themselves, they are often motivated to bring bamboo back to their own yards and plant it without knowing how difficult it is to control. In order to raise awareness, we proposed the installment of a warning sign educating people to the effect of growing bamboo in the United States on native species of plants and the surrounding environment.

description: Testing genetic testing companies for substantiated evidence behind testing
description: Genetic tests comprise analysis of human DNA, RNA, or protein. Genetic tests are known for early detection of a mutant or variant in the genome that is known to cause or contribute to a debilitating phenotype, or disease. However, recently companies are claiming that they can detect more than just disease based on genotype (genetic makeup), including future abilities and talents in young children, the age at which wrinkles will appear, the optimal diet for an individual, and no-fail quit-smoking plans. Certain claims lack substantial scientific backing and therefore the validity of those tests are questionable. The majority of genetic testing devices and kits can be found on the internet on the company website. Some companies advertise clinical tests directly to buyers. The major flaw inherent in this process is that consumers often put blind faith in the product and obtain clinically significant test results before consulting a physician, and therefore consumers do not have proper instruction in understanding or utilizing the testing results.

description: The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) inspires citizens to take initiatives and transform their own property and communities into wildlife habitats.  The paper describes the process of registering and then eventually certifying Haycock Township in Bucks County, PA as a NWF Community Wildlife Habitat.  The goals that were identified as a focus for this community included rectifying 1) the decline in bat and bee population, 2) the increase in invasive plant species by removing invasives and planting natives to support/sustain wildlife and 3) the decline in wildlife by limiting the overuse of herbicides & pesticides.  Many households in the community joined in this effort to certify their own backyards while students from Rutgers University provided the academic support and factual details surrounding the identified goals. The culmination of these efforts will be celebrated on Oct 21, 2012 when the NWF comes to the community to certify them as the 63rd community in the United States to have achieved this certification.

description: Converting bottled water drinkers to drinking tap water at Rutgers University
description: A common belief that we live by is that bottled water is much safer than tap water. In reality, there is no guarantee that bottled water is any safer than tap water; in fact, bottled water is less regulated due to the different standards of the EPA and FDA. Many tests and studies observing the levels of chemicals and contaminants in various drinking waters have shown that drinking from the tap is beneficial to one’s body as well as one’s wallet. It is also much better for the environment that we stay away from bottled water – many of the plastic bottles that do not make it through the recycling process ends up breaking down into harmful compounds such as benzene and phthalate. Our service project focused on spreading awareness regarding the benefits of drinking tap water rather than bottled water. We worked with Take Back The Tap to promote the movie screening of Tapped, a 2009 film documenting facts and debunking myths behind tapped and bottled water. We also spent a day running a tap water vs. bottled water taste-test on Cook Campus, showing people with their own taste-buds that there is little difference (if any) between water from the bottle and water from the tap.

description: A guide to conserving forests while drilling for natural gas in the Delaware River Basin
description: Natural gas drilling has been around for many years and wells are being drilled wherever gas reserves are found. Currently the Delaware River Basin, which includes New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, is being drilled for natural gas and the drilling is destroying the environment. The process of natural gas extraction includes, clearing the drill site, fracking and transporting the fuel and contaminated water out to various plants. All of these steps damage the environment severely and the drilling needs to be more heavily regulated. The clearing of the site destroys the forest and takes away the homes of animals in the area as well as leaving the ground exposed to soil erosion and other negative consequences. The fracking contaminates ground water and poisons the wildlife and the vegetation in the surrounding area, and the transportation of the gas and contaminated water creates constant truck traffic and destruction of roads that they travel on. Currently there are regulations, which mostly focus on controlling the contamination of ground water and not on any of the other negative consequences of gas drilling. For our community service project we developed a set of regulations which focused on regulating the deforestation of the drill site through making sure the forest is protected as much as possible during drilling and restored to its original state once drilling is complete. Our goal was to protect the forest and through protecting the forest the animals and environment would be able to be better protected from the harm of drilling. We submit the proposed regulations to the Delaware River Basin Commission, which was accepting comments through April 15, 2011, which they will review for possible use in the new regulations of gas drilling in the Delaware River Basin. The website we submit the regulations to was http://www.state.nj.us/drbc/ the website also contains information about current regulations and gas drilling available for anyone who is interested.

description: Sports injuries are an unfortunate and prevalent side effect to engaging in athletic competition. If not treated properly, injuries suffered while playing a sport could not only hinder your ability to compete but could also have devastating long and short term effects on your body. Small, seemingly insignificant injuries could snowball into injuries that could end ones athletic career early. Many sports have injuries at are very specific to that sport or occur in only a few sports. Younger athletes should be educated and protected from the degradation of specific body areas due to the stresses of sports injuries. We have written to the NJSIAA requesting them to add sports specific injury protection to their waiver forms prior to each season in order to educate athletes and coaches about how to prevent injuries in the future. We have also written to the Targum and the Star-Ledger advocating for injury prevention and awareness to young athletes who are most at risk. We hope that through our efforts we can prevent minor injuries from become chronic injuries that could jeopardize a young athlete’s future.

description: Preventing obesity by encouraging an active lifestyle in K-8 children
description: The prevalence of childhood obesity has reached a state of being an epidemic, due to unhealthy eating practices and lack of daily exercise. The effects of being obese are not limited to developing health complications, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, but may be very consequential to medical bills and insurance expenses, as being obese is a reliability to insurance companies. Improving daily physical routines in the developing youth must be approached in a manner that may suit the physical capabilities of students of all ages. The lack of participation and programs offering physical activities both in and out of the classroom may be a crucial factor in the growing obesity rates. To alleviate this ever growing problem, we proposed a program for students and parents to participate in that will provide daily exercise routines and healthy lifestyle practices that may promote healthy living. Utilizing modern weight loss programs and work out series with the most advanced exercise and nutrition programs, participants will follow a series of programs and self management practices that will prepare for an event that will give them the opportunity to measure their physical fitness. Improving physical fitness is a lifestyle change that requires support from peers as well as self management skills, which is why parents are urged to participate in the condition programs as well as the planned event.

description: The manifestation of sexually transmitted diseases and abortions is rising in young adolescents today. The lack of awareness of the possible consequences that come from unprotected sex is partially due to minimal education, restrictions in religion, and misleading information in the media. For our community service project, we visited a high school in Orange, New Jersey and distributed brochures containing educational information about the possible health risks that one may endure when having unprotected sex, and the options to reduce these risks. Many people do not understand the severity of this issue. However, I hope that after our interaction with the students of Orange High School, we have convinced at least a small population of this world to make wiser decisions.

description: Promoting awareness of removing e-waste from landfills
description: When electronic wastes are not properly recycled, heavy chemicals and carcinogenic chemicals make their way into our drinking water, land, air, food, and eventually into our bodies. With the availability of and the constant switch to H.D.T.V.s, more and more “old” televisions and monitors are being thrown out. These “old” television sets and computer monitors contain high amounts of harmful heavy metals, including the well-known mercury and lead, among other chemicals. With the constant demand for faster and smaller computers, a large number of computers are also being thrown out. Computers also contain harmful chemicals, as with almost every electronic product. A new generation of electronic waste programs was set up by the government, environmentalists, and electronics industries in response to the influx of electronic wastes filling up landfills. Some are recycled within the United States and others are illegally shipped to other countries, such as Ghana. Each of these countries is dealing with electronics consumerism in very different ways. It is safe to say, however, that these different ways are collectively detrimental to the environment and the people inhabiting these countries.

description: The Internet has provided the world with previously unheard of access to information and communication. Injustices around the world that would previously go unnoticed are now disseminated on a global scale. This new spread of information bothers those that would prefer the public stay ignorant as seen through legal action against large sites such as Wiki Leaks or smaller grass roots movements like the activist group Anonymous. Whether you agree or disagree with these people tactics you should be aware that as an individual you can use the Internet to make a difference and enact change on a global or local level.

description: Donating PUR packets to the Renman Orphanage in Haiti
description: Cholera, a gut bacterial infection, is very common among countries that lack access to clean water and have poor sanitation standards. Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere, fits right into this description. The cholera outbreak was not caused by the most recent earthquake in Haiti. However, it did exacerbate the spread of this bacteria. Homes were destroyed forcing people to live in large concentrated tent camps where cholera can spread easily. After all, it only takes a cup of contaminated water to contract the cholera infection. The infection can cause severe dehydration and can eventually lead to death. The most efficient way to reduce the spread of this infection is to prevent it, by providing clean drinking water sources.

description: The field of meteorology is one that affects the lives of people worldwide. The weather is around us and has an impact on what we wear, where we go and when we do things. People look to meteorologists to know what the weather will be and how it will impact them. While meteorological forecasts are correct most of the time, the public typically only remembers the times a forecast was wrong. As a result, people often disregard weather watches and warnings. The resources, processes and time required to construct a weather forecast is staggering. Raw weather data must first be collected via a network of instruments. This data is then analyzed by super computers and processed into a form that can be analyzed by meteorologists. The processed data is then scrutinized and analyzed by meteorologists until it eventually becomes a weather forecast. When a forecast includes severe weather, watches and warnings are issued by the National Weather Service. These watches and warnings need to be paid attention to in order to prevent unnecessary injury, death or destruction of property. Through proper understanding of forecasting, watches and warnings, people can prevent such unnecessary consequences. The service projects aims to complete this task. By teaching students about forecasting, watches/warnings and weather safety, they will be more prone to understand and respect the watches and warnings being issued by the National Weather Service.

description: The occurrence of injuries among Division I athletes continues to increase due to various factors such as heightened intensity and training, and will continue to increase unless something substantial is done to properly prevent, diagnose, and treat these injuries.  Due to the connection of our group and college athletes, we have first-hand experienced various types and degree of injuries that have led to immense amounts of physical and mental distress.  Our mission is to create a sense of safety and protection among collegiate athletes when they are faced with an injury so that their short term expectations and long term health are both considered when making important decisions.  After speaking to high ranking officials within the Athletic Department, submitting several editorials to relative media sources, and interviewing relevant individuals regarding out issue, we believe that we are well on our way to improving the conditions in which injured student athletes have to survive in.

description: The high temperatures reached in a proto-neutron star or during the post-merger phase of a binary neutron star coalescence lead to non-negligible thermal effects on the equation of state (EOS) of dense nuclear matter. Here we study these effects within the covariant density functional theory employing the posteriors of a Bayesian inference, which encompasses a large sample of EOS models. Different densities and temperatures are considered. We find that for a number of quantities thermal effects are strongly correlated with the Dirac effective mass ($m^*$) of the nucleons and/or its logarithmic derivative as a function of density. These results can be explained within the low temperature approximation though they survive beyond this limit.

description: Women under age 40 may get breast cancer for different reasons than women who are older. Breast cancer risk in younger women may be greatly affected by events and exposures that occur during childhood or adolescence. We would like to look at reasons why women get breast cancer at young ages (

 In our second project, we would like to find out more information about how a woman's pregnancies and her menstrual cycles affect her risk of breast cancer. We want to see if having a miscarriage or choosing to end a pregnancy changes the risk of breast cancer in these women. A pregnancy that ends early (before 20 weeks) may only affect breast cancer risk in women who are age 40 or younger or who have never had a child. Because there are relatively few women like this, some studies have not been able to interview many, but in this study we talked with many such women. Women who have menstrual cycles that occur more or less often than 28 days may have a different risk of breast cancer than women whose cycles come every 28 days. We want to find out if the number of days in a menstrual cycle affects breast cancer risk. We would also like to see if women who have cycles that are very different in the number of days between them each month have a different risk of breast cancer. Women who have ever been told by a doctor that they have certain illnesses of the female organs such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or ovarian cysts may have a risk of breast cancer that is higher or lower than women who have not. Women who have been told that they cannot have a child also may have a risk of breast cancer that is different from other women. Breast cancer risk in these women can be looked at as well. Pregnancies, menstrual cycles, and certain illnesses of female organs may be related to the level of a woman's hormones, and if we can understand them better, we may be able to understand more about breast cancer risk.

 Events during childhood and the teenage years may greatly influence breast cancer risk; research studies are now asking women many questions about that time period. For some women, 40 or 50 years have gone by since adolescence. In our third project, we would like to look at how well women can remember those years. We have information such as height, weight, and age at first menstruation from young women who were followed through their teen years. Five to nine years later, we asked them to remember and write down this information. We can compare their actual report of height, weight, and age at menstruation to their later memory. Research studies may be able to find out more about how breast cancer risk is related to the teenage years if we know how well women can remember this information.
