Many college students whose majors do not pertain to a STEM sub-discipline (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) may only end up taking one science course in their entire undergraduate career. For many of these students, introductory astronomy is an interesting and popular choice. Professors of these courses often have the intention of improving their student’s […]
C57-P: Analyzing Chemistry YouTube Videos with Mayer’s Multimedia Principles: Is Popularity Linked to the Promotion of Learning?
YouTube videos are becoming increasingly more integrated into education, especially in core science subjects such as chemistry. Views are typically used as a measure of a video’s quality, as teachers and students use them for instructional support. Richard Mayer developed a set of Multimedia Principles that we have used to rate the characteristics of popular […]
B01-P: Intra- and Inter-Individual Variation in the Vocalizations of Lowland Woolly Monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha poeppigii) From the Tiputini Biodiversity Station, Ecuador
Primates, characterized by high degrees of fission-fusion dynamics, often use vocalizations to coordinate travel, locate and maintain contact with groupmates, recruit new party members, regulate spatial cohesion, and avoid extra-group conspecifics. In environments with limited visibility, individually distinct vocalizations may become increasingly important as they decrease listener uncertainty and allow individuals to differentially respond to […]
B50-P: The Relationship Between Feelings of Discrimination, Binge Drinking, and Suicidal Ideation Among Minority College Students
Previous research has found a relationship between discrimination and negative health outcomes, particularly pertaining to mental health, among sexual minorities. It has been found that sexual minorities have higher rates of suicidal ideation than non-minority college students. Suicidal ideation refers to an individual’s thoughts, plans, or considerations of taking one’s life. Heavy drinking also continues […]
B27-P: Building Dynamic Time Warping in R and Applying It to Time Series Data
Dynamic time warping is an algorithm for comparing two different time series by minimizing the distance between time series. This project explores how dynamic time warping can be applied to the number of Covid-19 cases in 2021 in Ohio and Illinois. The functions associated with dynamic time warping were created and tested in R using […]
A24-P: Too Small to Ignore: Adverse Health Outcomes of Childhood Food Insecurity
For the Global Health Studies (GHS) minor, we are required to do an immersion experience to delve deeper into a topic we are interested in and give us hands on experience in the field of global health. For my immersion experience I volunteered at La Soupe, a private nonprofit in Cincinnati, Oh, which provides healthy […]
A39-P: Lessons Learned from an Unequal Opportunity Storm: Hurricane Katrina, 15 Years Later
When it comes to planning, learning from the past can be key in adapting, changing and improving for the future. This study aims to help make cities more resilient by accounting for racial disparities in natural disaster response and recovery planning. Creating cities that are more environmentally just will in turn make them more resilient […]
A22-P: Extracting Kinetic Information From Multiple Polymer Distributions
My research is in the field of organic chemistry, specifically polymer science. The goal for this project was to develop a preexisting model to predict kinetic information for other polymer systems. The original model was used to predict kinetic information for RAFT polymer systems, but we wanted to make it more versatile and apply it […]
B28-P: Importance of Light for Growth and Productivity of Antarctic Microbial Samples
Antarctic lake microbes survive in environments with a myriad of extreme conditions. Understanding microbial community structure and metabolic diversity in these stressful conditions is an underexplored topic in microbial ecology. Notably, these communities are largely dependent on photosynthesis to form the base of their food webs, and thus light availability has major implications on community […]
B04-P: 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 […]
