In order to assist Cincinnati Global Chamber to understand the community interests of having an NBA G-league team (Queen City Royals) in the Greater Cincinnati area. This research is conducted to understand the community’s interests and help them understand the potential market for a professional basketball team. Convenience sampling was used in this study. We […]
A27-P: Examining Intersectional Identity Threats Among Black Women
Experiences with stigma-induced identity threats (SIIT) – threats of discrimination based on a marginalized social identity – are associated with a wide array of negative consequences, like drops in self-esteem or greater risk for anxiety. However, to date, SIIT research has not done enough to center our understanding of intersectionality, the theory that the individual […]
A51-P: How Well do YouTube and Chemistry Mix? Evaluating Educational Videos with Mayer’s Multimedia Principles
YouTube videos are being used as an instructional support to lectures for students, especially in science subjects such as chemistry. A method was developed to quantitatively rate popular acid-base and bonding YouTube videos using Richard Mayer’s seven Multimedia Principles as a framework. A second method was developed to quantitatively rate the videos to specifically investigate […]
C07-P: Hcf106 and cpTatC Fusion Overexpression and Purification Using Liquid Chromatography
The twin-arginine protein translocation system (Tat) is a membrane-bound protein complex that transports folded proteins across the thylakoid membranes in plants and cytoplasmic membranes in bacteria. It is predicted that about 50% of the thylakoid lumen proteins use the cpTat pathway. For a precursor to pass the thylakoid membrane under this system, involves the association […]
B01-T: Assessment of the Radiocarbon Reservoir Effect in Modern Aquatic Gastropod and Bivalve Shells of Four Mile Creek, Ohio
Radiocarbon reservoir effects occur when organisms incorporate carbon that is not in equilibrium with the modern atmosphere. These reservoir effects often result in 14C ages of fossils shells that are too old, often by thousands of years. Dissolution of limestone bedrock in southwestern Ohio may lead stream water to be enriched in old, dissolved carbon […]
B09-T: Understanding and Withstanding: Comparing Colombian and Mexican Responses to Migration Crises
In the late 2010s, deepening crises in Venezuela, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras led to the migration of millions from their homes in pursuit of refuge and asylum. Received primarily by Colombia and Mexico, these migrants and asylum seekers have encountered vastly different responses from the country in which they end up. Why have Colombia […]
A32-P: Synthesis And Characterization Of Selected Intermetallic Alloys For Magnetic Cooling
A magnetic refrigerator exploits the magnetocaloric effect, which is broadly defined as the tendency of certain magnetic materials to change their temperature when placed in a magnetic field. There is a great interest in the commercialization of magnetic refrigerators due to the fact that they are significantly more environmentally friendly and energy efficient than common […]
B41-P: Gastropods and their urchin prey through geologic time: Do bigger predators need a bigger meal?
Predators and their prey are often locked in a constant evolutionary battle as they strive for survival. As metabolism and energetics has increased over time, many predators have also become larger and more powerful (known as escalation). Evidence for escalation has been found in shellfish groups, and the ratio between the size of predators and […]
B11-P: Adding Insult to Injury: COVID-19 and Food-Insecure Households
As a public health major in KNH with a minor in global health, I wanted to research the impact of COVID-19 on food-insecure households. I was interested in better understanding how vulnerable populations have been impacted by food insecurity due to the pandemic. Therefore, my research question was: How has COVID-19 impacted households who were […]
A09-T: Littering in College Towns: How Students’ Perceptions Align With Reality
Littering leads to soil and water pollution and poses threats to ecological systems. This research investigates littering in college towns and surrounding natural areas, through an interdisciplinary lens. We examined: why do college students litter? Understanding the motivations behind littering would allow for the development of effective programs and policy to combat littering in college […]
