Abstract:
Teachers have a huge effect on raising students' environmental awareness and helping them develop sensitivity to environmental issues. The aim of this study was to examine the environmental awareness and environmental sensitivity of teacher candidates. In the study, “ Environmental Awareness and Environmental Sensitivity ” scale developed by Timur and Yılmaz (2003) for teacher candidates (277) was used as data collection tool. Descriptive analysis method was used for data analysis by SPSS program. As a result of the study, it was determined that there was no significant difference between the branches and the genders of Environmental Awareness and Environmental Sensitivities of candidates teachers. A significant difference was found between the branches in the Environmental Sensitivity dimension of the scale. Teacher candidates’ Environmental Awareness and Environmental Sensitivity do not change according to their gender. It was found that Religious Culture and Ethics Teaching teacher candidates had a higher score in terms of environmental sensitivity.

Abstract:
This study aims to determine undergraduate students’ environmental awareness and sensitivity. This study used the environmental awareness and sensitivity scale to determine undergraduate students’ environmental awareness and sensitivity. The study group for this study includes 224 undergraduate students studying in Hacettepe University’s Family and Consumer Sciences Program. The results reveal that on a 5-point Likert scale, these undergraduate students’ environmental awareness level is higher than average (3 points) with a value of =3.50, and their environmental sensitivity level is much higher than their environmental awareness at =3.80. In conclusion, it was determined that undergraduate students’ environmental awareness and sensitivity levels vary significantly by gender, parental educational status and level of income (p<0.01).

Abstract:
In sexually dimorphic species, the larger sex is often assumed to exhibit greater vulnerability during the period of parental care, due to their assumed greater nutritional requirements. However, results in the literature are mixed regarding sex-biased environmental sensitivity, and it is uncertain to what extent these inconsistencies are due to the shortage of experimental studies in this area, or to flawed assumptions regarding the factors influencing the development of male and female offspring. In this thesis, long term data, along with experimental work were used to test whether habitat quality had sex-specific effects on nestling growth, survival to fledging, immune development, overwinter survival, and recruitment in a population of the great tit. I also investigated whether these sex-specific selective patterns relate to any observed bias in sex ratios. Consistent patterns were observed for greater female sensitivity to poor rearing conditions (relative to males) with regards to their growth; however, males showed greater vulnerability in poor conditions (relative to females) with respect to their post-fledging survival as well as their recruitment success. Investigation of sex allocation suggests that sex ratios become more male biased with improved habitat quality, which appear to correspond to the patterns of selection (e.g., survival and recruitment); however, the overall results suggest that some other factor was likely causing the mismatch observed between growth and survival. Previous work suggests that the development of immunity may influence short and long term fitness, and that males and females may show different priorities in how they allocate resources during development when exposed to harsh conditions (e.g., growth versus immunity). Therefore, I also explored whether rearing conditions had sex-specific effects on the development of immunity, and whether these differences correlate with the survival and recruitment of offspring. Though I was unable to detect any affect of sex, habitat, or their interaction on immune response, I did find that the survival of male and female nestlings varied depending on the habitat in which they were reared, and that those individuals with greater immune responses survived better: female nestlings survived relatively better than males in poorer quality habitats, whereas males survived better than females in good quality habitats, and the survival of male and female nestlings was positively associated with their immune response in those habitats in which they showed overall greater survival. Rearing environment had an opposite effect on the cell mediated immunity (CM I) of male and female nestlings, although these patterns were only evident among nestlings that survived overwinter. Among surviving females, CMI increased with declining rearing conditions, while having the opposite effect among surviving males. Since I found CMI to be important for the survival of nestlings, and found that male and female nestlings showed opposite effects of rearing environment on CMI, it seems plausible that differences in immune function may be at the root of the observed mismatch between results for growth, survival and recruitment. The results from these studies illustrate how sex-specific patterns of vulnerability may be more complex than is commonly assumed. Thus, finally, I examined the support in the literature for three different explanations for sex-specific vulnerability to poor rearing conditions using met a-regression. My results demonstrated that there is no support in the literature for hypotheses based on size or sex alone. However, met aregression revealed a joint influence of sexual size dimorphism and clutch size in explaining patterns of vulnerability. Overall, the results from this thesis suggest that there are many factors which can have sex-specific effects on offspring performance, and that predicting the effects within particular species may be very difficult.

Computational tools allow designers to consider vast amounts of information when designing structures; however, without intuitive ways to visualize and model this data it is of little use in the creative process. In this thesis, the context for the use of computational design tools is established through a brief review of methods of incorporating structural optimization into conceptual design. Then, a novel method of visualizing variable sensitivity is presented in a way that complements established methods of interactive optimization. The technique depends upon local sampling of the design space, which reveals the behavior of quantitative structural and architectural objectives to variations in geometric parameters. Two case studies are given to demonstrate the different forms the visualizations may take and how a designer might choose to interpret those forms. The visualization technique and design approach contribute to modern practices in high-performance structural design by revealing significant behaviors of structures during the conceptual design stage.

Abstract:
This study examined the occurrence of Lophelia pertusa on North Sea oil infrastructure and its environmental sensitivity to oil and gas activities. Underwater videos from industry platform surveys were examined to identify L. pertusa, detail its occurrence at two sites (Heather and North Alwyn A (NAA)), and to look for evidence of exposure to drilling muds and cuttings (discharges). In addition, live corals were exposed to 4-h sedimentation events of increasing rates and polyp behaviour analysed. Sediment removal mechanisms were also examined. Finally, skeletal characteristics and trace metal concentrations were measured in skeletons sampled from platform sites exposed to drilling discharges and control sites. The results showed a newly established sub-population of L. pertusa in the northern North Sea. L. pertusa was identified on 14 platforms and 947 colonies were recorded on Heather and NAA between 59 to 132 m depth coinciding with the presence of year round Atlantic water. Original recruits were likely from the northeast Atlantic and are now annually self-recruiting to the platforms. Additional video from Tern in 1993, 1994, 1998, and 2002 provided the first in situ colony growth rate (26 ± 5 mm yr-1) for L. pertusa. Visual evidence of contamination from drilling discharges was limited to colonies close to drilling discharge points where partial and complete colonies were dead. Polyp behaviour was negatively affected only at the highest sedimentation rates (12-19 mg cm-2 min-1), which are likely to be significantly higher than in situ rates, and polyps cleared sediment with ciliary currents and ingestion, which may be an indiscriminate feeding response. Corals exposed to discharges had shorter and narrower corallites compared to controls but other causal factors merit consideration such as genetics and hydrography. Further results showed that polyps bud annually and reach their maximum height in their first year, while the theca thickens at a constant rate, thus implying that the innermost growth band likely represents the first year of growth. Relatively depleted δ13C and δ18O along the inner growth band, which indicates fast calcification, supported this result. Copper and barium in coral skeletons including visible detrital inclusions were significantly higher in exposed versus control colonies. Chromium and barium along the growth axis, avoiding detrital inclusions, showed one exposed polyp from a colony living two meters above the cuttings pile on North West Hutton (NWH) with higher barium compared to control colonies. Short-lived barium spikes were observed in two polyps from a control colony sampled from North Cormorant. It is hypothesised that the NWH coral may have been exposed to dissolved barium released during cuttings resuspension, while barium spikes in the control colony may result from natural fluctuations in seawater barium, thus advocating that L. pertusa can act as an archive of the marine environment.

Abstract:
What traits and virtues must a person possess to be considered environmentally virtuous? And further, must we recognize new human excellences specific to environmental contexts, or can the traditional virtues be 'extended' to apply to environmental interactions and relationships? Current disagreement in the environmental virtue ethics literature over how to identify and ratify environmental virtue represents a significant issue in the literature because its answer impinges upon other areas of an environmental virtue ethic's framework, including the acquisition and sufficiency of virtue, environmental practical wisdom, and the normative resources available to an environmental virtue ethic. Ronald Sandler, a proponent of non-extensionist environmental virtue ethics, has suggested the recognition of a novel human virtue called "ecological sensitivity".¹ However, Sandler left open at the time exactly what character dispositions and traits constitute that virtue, and how it ought to be fully understood. The thesis presented here attempts to identify the dispositions, attitudes, and traits that constitute ecological sensitivity (or eco-sensitivity).

Abstract:
This project is aimed at helping children in elementary grades 1-6 develop a deep awareness of and empathy for the environment through children's fictional literature. This project takes a selection of children's books that encourage feelings of love, respect, and concern for the environment, and pairs them with an array of activities that put children more in touch with our planet and its problems. This combination of shared stories and related activities may be influential in developing environmental sensitivity in young children.

Abstract:
Abstract Industrial mechanical products create environmental problems in three ways: Because of their function, because of their manufacturing and because of their disposal after the end of their service life, or the end of their life-cycle. Constantly increasing social and market needs press, on the other hand, for always new products with inevitably shorter life-cycles. Environmental pollution of the air, water and soil and overconsumption of natural material deposits and non-renewable energy resources are thus becoming very serious threats for the future of the world ecosystem. Although it is clear that all these threats to the environment start from the New Product Design (NPD), relevant engineering design efforts have been primarily focused on product functional issues that affect negatively the environment (emissions, energy consumption, wastes). Less attention has been paid until recently by the NPD methodologies to product manufacturing issues which cause undesirable environmental consequences and originate from its design. In the paper an approach is attempted toward assemblying and classification of the motives, targets and design guidelines for an environmentally conscious mechanical product design. Design issues which have to do with product manufacturing and affect negatively the environment are only taken into account. Environmental sensitivity criteria for NPD evaluation are further established within various processing, re-use, re-conditioning, re-cycling, etc. modes. These evaluation criteria refer to minimum raw (not yet processed) material and energy consumption in product manufacturing, to minimum environmental pollution in product manufacturing and from product disposal.

Abstract:
High efficiency separations coupled with rapid response times have been demonstrated on capillary electrophoresis devices micromachined on glass substrates. [1-3] Although detection of single organic dyes has been achieved with fluorescence detection in capillaries, [4] such detection limits have not yet been demonstrated in micromachined channels. Efficient, single molecule detection is desirable for many potential applications such as rapid DNA sequencing. The structure of microfabricated separation channels, however, does not readily facilitate a 90° fluorescence excitation/collection geometry which has been used to achieve high sensitivities in capillaries. [4] This optical geometry allows efficient spatial rejection of scattering at the capillary solution interfaces. Confocal detection in which the excitation source is introduced through the collection optics provides a means of achieving both high axial resolution and high collection efficiency.

Abstract:
This report describes the potential vulnerability of specialty crops, field crops, forests, and animal agriculture to climate-driven environmental changes. Here, vulnerability is defined as a function of exposure to climate change effects, sensitivity to these effects, and adaptive capacity. The exposure of specific sectors of the agricultural and forestry industries varies across the region because the Southwest is climatically and topographically diverse. There is also variability in the sensitivity of different systems to the effects of climate change. Most significantly, there is potential within agricultural and forestry systems to adjust to climate-related effects either through inherent resilience or through conservative management practices. The purpose of this analysis is to describe regional vulnerabilities to climate change and adaptive actions that can be employed to maintain productivity of working lands in the coming decades.

Abstract:
Dust aerosols can pose a significant detriment to public health, transportation, and tactical operations through reductions in air quality and visibility. Thus, accurate model forecasts of dust emission and transport are essential to decision makers. While a large number of studies have advanced the understanding and predictability of dust storms, the majority of existing literature considers dust production and forcing conditions of the underlying meteorology independently of each other. Our study works to-wards filling this research gap by inventorying dust-event case studies forced by convective activity in the Desert Southwest United States, simulating select representative case studies using several configurations of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, testing the sensitivity of forecasts to essential model parameters, and assessing overall forecast skill using variables essential to dust production and transport. We found our control configuration captured the initiation, evolution, and storm structure of a variety of convective features admirably well. Peak wind speeds were well represented, but we found that simulated events arrived up to 2 hours earlier or later than observed. Our results show that convective storms are highly sensitive to initialization time and initial conditions that can preemptively dry the atmosphere and suppress the growth of convective storms.

In 2015, the Southwest and California Climate Hubs published a report describing the potential vulnerability of crops, forests and animal agriculture to climate-driven environmental changes.

Abstract:
The Federal Aviation Administration instrumented four concrete slabs of a taxiway at the John F. Kennedy International Airport to collect pavement responses under aircraft and environmental loading. The study started with developing preprocessing scripts to organize, structure, and clean the collected data. As a result of the preprocessing step, the data became easier and more intuitive for pavement engineers and researchers to transform and process. After the data were cleaned and organized, they were used to develop two prediction models. The first prediction model employs a Bayesian calibration framework to estimate the unknown material parameters of the concrete pavement. Additionally, the posterior distributions resulting from the calibration process served as a sensitivity analysis by reporting the significance of each parameter for temperature distribution. The second prediction model utilized a machine-learning (ML) algorithm to predict pavement responses under aircraft and environmental loadings. The results demonstrated that ML can predict the responses with high accuracy at a low computational cost. This project highlighted the potential of using ML for future pavement design guidelines as more instrumentation data from future projects are collected to incorporate various material properties and pavement structures.
