  • The Visual Evolution of Death and "Memento Mori" in the 16th Centuries and 17th Centuries in Northern Europe

    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    The paper discusses how death and Memento Mori were displayed in the visual culture of the Northern European societies. The paper explores how the representation of the death evolves through the Middle Ages into the Baroque period and the reasons for such changes. The work follows research on the culture of these times and how they effected the representations of death that became so popular during the time. The thesis will also touch on how emergence of the importance of Still Life during this time can partially be attributed to this same culture.

    Description/Abstract:
    Over 400,000 quarries have been left abandoned and seemingly in a state of disrepair once their resources have been depleted or no longer valued. Before 1977, there were no laws or regulations in place to protect these sites. Owners and contractors were able to leave the site as is with tools, machinery, jagged rocks, slabs of cut stone, trash, and anything in between. This project explores the oldest marble quarry in the country, the Norcross-West marble quarry located in Dorset, Vermont. The design answers the question of how to repurpose this site by combining the site history to create educational opportunities, vegetation implementation to create habitats for at risk species, and sustainable practices such as marble carving and rainwater collection create a space that fulfills needs within the site that have long sense been forgotten. These practices reform the space and set a precedent for the dozens of other nearby abandoned and active quarry sites.

  • Cacti are pretty sick! And so is the earth. And it's probably our fault.

    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    Methods of cultivating and propagating L. williamsii are available on the internet and in academic journals. In particular, five, L. williamsii specimens were observed and their growth rates and overall vitality are determined. Furthermore, particular soil mixtures, temperature and humidity control, light, and moisture are crucial for growing individuals from. Variations in grafting stock are present, in particular, Pereskiopsis, Hylocereus, Trichocereus and Myrtillocactus. Among literature review, it was found that L. williamsii growth and seeding is dependent extremely dependent on pollinators, temperature, and precipitation in the wild. In terms of yielding L. williamsii specimens with the fastest growth rate and highest likelihood of survival in the wild, the graft stock to be used is Trichocereus and Pereskiopsis.

  • How Can Floating Gardens Mitigate Agricultural Runoff In Ponds and Lakes in Waynesville, Ohio?

    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    This research shows the environmental benefits of implementing floating garden designs in ponds and lakes as floating treatment wetlands (FTWs). Research conducted by Virginia Tech, Rutgers, Floating Island International, and the International Institute for Sustainable Development indicates successful remediation and removal of nutrient runoff from agricultural production, wastewater treatment, and human and animal waste. Plants with different rooting depths and surface areas can phytoaccumulate phosphorus and nitrogen compounds. Like wetlands, FTWs create an environment for microbial life around the rhizosphere of plants and the island substrate, generating colonies of bacteria called biofilm that digest nutrients from water or sediment. Natural wetland habitats, one of humanity's most efficient biofilters, have been destroyed around the United States to make room for farmland and cities. This research has been aggregated to fuel an FTW design on a small farm in Waynesville, Ohio, and other lakes and ponds for people that this research may inspire.

  • Optimizing Urban Biodiversity: Native Seed Collection and Cultivation Practices for Ohio's Native Plants

    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    This research project investigates and improves the processes of native seed collection and native plant cultivation specific to the Ohio region. The overarching goal is advancing urban biodiversity initiatives, focused on flora indigenous to the Cincinnati area. The project delves into current research gaps and challenges associated with native seed collection and cultivation methodologies. Additionally, this research explores the potential ecological benefits and challenges associated with integrating native plant species into urban landscapes. This project researches 13 plant species in this context. The target outcomes of this research include a refined understanding of native plant adaptation to urban settings, improved conservation strategies, and actionable guidelines for urban planners and horticulturalists. This research contributes knowledge to the ongoing efforts of promoting biodiversity within urban landscapes, fostering a more sustainable coexistence between human developments and Ohio's native flora. The final result of this project is a field guide with sections on plant identification, seed harvesting, seed storage, cultivation needs, and common ecoregions for each plant.

  • How Can the Horticulture Field be More Inclusive to BIPOC

    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    The current infrastructure of horticulture in North America lacks BIPOC representation. The purpose of the review and the research is to address the effects of white dominance in horticulture and observe the benefits of a system that upholds and welcomes the culture and values of individuals in the BIPOC communities. By analyzing the current impacts of DEI and its effectiveness for BIPOC horticulturist, it can be theorized on how to create a more equitable field.

    Description/Abstract:
    Forest settings can provide emotional and physical stimulation that can effectively calm the nervous system and regulate responses to the effects of trauma. By exposing a population to a nearby temperate forest, measures can be made regarding the overall reaction to being in the presence of a forest specific environment. It is expected that the response to the experiences of forest engagement and exposure will present positive and increase the overall well-being of participants.

  • How Can The Greenhouse Industry Benefit From Changing The Materials Used For Making Growing Containers?

    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    The overuse of plastic containers in greenhouse and nursery production surpasses the amount being recycled. A solution to this issue involves a shift in the materials used for making containers. Specifically, containers employed for plant growth are largely single-use due to the higher costs associated with reusing them in production. Due to chemicals used during the growing process recycling containers is challenging. Transitioning to eco-friendly alternatives holds the promise of positively impacting the environment and curbing plastic waste generated in growing containerized plants. This research delves into the types of plastics currently utilized, their purposes, and the recycling processes involved. This is compared to new eco-friendly container options, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages. The significance of this study lies in the exploration of potential materials for manufacturing containers in greenhouse and nursery production. The result of This research finds alternatives to plastic, fostering sustainability and reducing reliance on plastic for containers, thereby contributing to a more sustainable industry.

  • Fragonard's Reflections of Protofeminism in 18th Century France

    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    In the mid-18th century, France entered the Rococo period, a period of enlightenment and play. As the Enlightenment spurred more liberal ideologies in French society, aristocratic women were afforded more freedoms than in previous periods, such as high education and participation in social and cultural realms such as Salons. Jean-Honoré Fragonard, known widely for his 1767 painting "The Swing", created a large body of work throughout the period often depicting female subjects in genre and allegorical scenes as well as portraiture. Often subverting the typical male gaze in his works, his paintings serve as a reflection of the period of empowerment experienced by aristocratic women in the Rococo period.
