Many abiotic foldamers are composed of achiral parts but adopt chiral geometries, like helices. In these systems, there is no inherent preference for one handedness of the fold. Ortho-phenylenes are a class of aromatic foldamers that fold into helices driven by arene-arene stacking interactions. Although their folding is now reasonably understood, it is not clear […]
A21: Astronomical Approximations: Making Them Suck Less
Approximations are both a necessity and a bane to astrophysical research, especially on the issue of the Missing Matter Problem. On one end the numbers involved are literally too astronomically large to work with without approximations, but on the other end with such complicated and occasionally chaotic systems like galaxies they can royally ruin the […]
C31: Design of an Adsorption Process to Remove Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) from Wastewater
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a very common pollutant in chemical industries and consumer products. It is resistant to common wastewater treatment processes due to its strong stability. PFOA is a health hazard as exposure leads to serious health issues that impact humans and the environment. This project had two major components. The first component is […]
A45: How can participation in student organizations enable the academic success of Bridges scholars?
Our general research area is supporting students academically and student success. The research question asked was what ways does the membership in a student organization affect the academic and social success of Bridges Scholars? This is relevant for our field because we want to make sure that the students involved are succeeding at Miami University […]
BRIII-01: Investigation of the Exchange Bias Properties of a Series of Fe Doped Mn2-xFexNi1.4Ga0.6 Heusler Alloys
We are investigating the effect of Fe doping on the magnetic and exchange bias properties of Mn2-xFexNi1.4Ga0.6. The parent compound, Mn2Ni1.4Ga0.6 (x = 0) exhibits a ferromagnetic phase transition near 300 K. The material also demonstrates interesting exchange bias properties. In this research forum presentation, the background information related to exchange bias will be discussed. […]
A79: Exploring the Physiological & Perceptual Responses to the Fusion of Aerobic & Resistance Exercise in a Single Workout
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (USDHHS) has stated that an unsettling 82% of adults do not get the recommended amount of physical activity to improve health and well-being. Additionally, one of the goals for Healthy People 2020 urges individuals to increase muscle-strengthening activity and incorporate this […]
B32: Soil Remediation of Silver Mine Tailings Through the Use of Vegetation
The act and process of mining natural resources has yielded great economic and technological growth for mankind. Although a necessity for our civilization, mining has extensive environmental impacts due to the byproduct of mine waste, also known as tailings. Mine waste is material rendered economically invaluable as a result of the mining ore. The presence […]
A30: 3D Window Identification for Architectural Modeling from Images
Our general research area is computer vision and computer graphics, and our research problem is 3D reconstruction of window for architectural modeling from window images. The 3D reconstruction of window from images required the learning of 3D properties and viewpoint interpolation of window images. 3D representation will includes PBR mapping, depth mapping and viewpoint interpolation […]
A26: Predicting Model of the Commercial House Market in Beijing
China, as the world second largest economy, is one of the hotspots in both Economics field and Statistics field, so our research’s target country is China. In the Economics field we conclude that there are three gharries pulling one country’s economy, they are Investment, Consumption and Export. This theory can also be applied into Chinese […]
B34: Searching for Gold in Fool’s Gold: An Investigation of Nevada Pyrites
Many people have heard of fools gold. Fools gold is more commonly known to geologists as Pyrite (which has the chemical formula: FeS2) and can easily be confused with real gold (chemical formula: Au). However, there is now some evidence that in certain geological circumstances, pyrite formation may be associated with the presence of gold. […]
