BI-01: Exploiting the magnetocaloric properties of advanced materials in magnetic refrigeration and hyperthermia cancer treatment
The magnetocaloric effect refers to the heating or cooling of a magnetic material when placed in an external magnetic field. Recent studies showed that this property can be exploited in numerous applications including magnetic refrigeration and hyperthermia cancer treatment. While magnetic refrigeration technology is more energy efficient and environmentally friendly than the gas-based refrigeration systems, […]
BI-02: Interpreting Anthropogenic Climate Change Action Through the Bible
With anthropogenic climate change remaining at the forefront of global debate, it is important to understand the influence on opinions of certain key demographics, such as those of Christians in the United States. In Christianity, there are conflicting doctrines – one suggesting humans’ dominion or ruling over nature and another suggesting humans are servants, stewards […]
BI-03: Examining the effect of Genetic Manipulation on Nerve Remodeling and Eclosion Behavior in Drosophila melanogaster
Abdominal nerves of Drosophila are ensheathed by four layers, the acellular neural lamella (NL), and three glial cell layers. During metamorphosis, a four-day event, five of the eight pairs of abdominal nerves fuse to form the terminal nerve trunk (TNT) structure. During the first day of metamorphosis, the NL is completely degraded. The aim of […]
BI-04: Teresa Ries & “The Witch”: An Erased Icon of Early Feminist Art
This project examines the life of the forgotten artist of the Vienna Secession, Teresa Ries, and her contributions to the world of art. To conduct this research, three scholars, Anka Lesniak, Julie M. Johnson, and Valerie Habsburg, were the main sources used by the researcher to fill in biographical details of the artist’s life. These […]
BII-02: MARIE-C (Merging All-Girls Results in Education and Careers)
Some of Physics Education Research (PER) is targeted on combating physics classroom disparity within a traditionally white male-dominated field to increase accessibility and attainability of physics outcomes for physics students. Historically, the physics field has exhibited a “leaky pipeline” effect in which minority students drop out of the physics curriculum due to lack of support, […]
