                    On L-functions and the 1-Level Density

                    We begin with the classical study of the Riemann zeta function and Dirichlet L-functions. This includes a full exposition on one of the most useful ways of exploiting their connection with primes, namely, explicit formulae. We then proceed to introduce statistics of low-lying zeros of Dirichlet L-functions, discussing prior results of Fiorilli and Miller (2015) on the 1-level density of Dirichlet L-functions and their achievement in surpassing the prediction of the powerful Ratios Conjecture. Finally, we present our original work partially generalizing these results to the case of Hecke L-functions over imaginary quadratic fields.


                    White Southerners Respond to Brown v. Board of Education: Why Crisis Erupted When Little Rock, Arkansas, Desegregated Central High School

                    What was the impact of Brown v. Board of Education on the United States and how did pro-segregationists in the South respond? In order to answer this question, I argue three key arguments over the course of three chronological chapters. In chapter one, I argue that segregationists from southern states responded to Brown by fighting to preserve segregation in order to protect a racial hierarchy they believed was essential. This racial hierarchy is magnified in the southern capital of Little Rock, Arkansas, which I argue in chapter two exposed segregationists’ political defiance and poor organization around racial integration of public schools. After a year of integration, analyzed in chapter three, I conclude my chapters by arguing the first year slowed down the segregationist organizations, but did not persuade them that racial integration would improve the “southern way of life.”

                    Mitochondrial adaptation in the green crab hybrid zone of the Gulf of Maine

                    The mitochondrial genome has historically been relegated to a neutral genetic marker, but new evidence suggests mitochondrial DNA to be a target for adaptation to environmental stress. The invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas) exemplifies this in the Gulf of Maine’s hybrid zone, where interbreeding populations exhibit thermal tolerances influenced by mitochondrial genotype. To better understand the mechanism behind this phenomenon, the effect of mitochondrial genotype on mitochondrial activity was tested by measuring mtDNA copy number (mtCN) and the activity of complex I, II, and IV of the electron transport system via high-resolution respirometry. Mitochondria isolated from frozen heart tissue were measured at three temperature points—5°C, 25°C, and 37°C—to represent thermal stresses and a control. It was predicted that cold-adapted haplogroups would exhibit both higher mtCN and increased activity for each complex, either across all temperatures or exclusively at 5°C compared to a warm-adapted haplogroup. Initial comparisons of mitochondria from fresh and frozen tissue at 25°C found lower activity for complex II and IV in frozen extracts, but they continued to be used for convenience. No differences were observed across haplogroups for mtCN or high-resolution respirometry, suggesting that mitochondrial activity does not underlie differences in thermal tolerance. However, temperature greatly influenced activity measurements with complex II and IV exhibiting the highest rates at 37°C while complex I exhibited optimal activity at 25°C. This study represents the first of its kind for C. maenas, providing a foundation for future experiments to continue exploring mitochondria in the context of adaptive evolution.
