The water reduction experiment was done before with Ca2+ and NaHCO3 and found the current would jump up when the potential approached to a negative value around -1V. It may be caused by the H2 bubble formed or CaCO3 solid formed on the surface of nanoelectrode to block the current. Thus, the aim of this […]
C50: The Role of Mentoring for STEM Student Success Within the Bridges Scholars Community
The purpose of this study is to find the role of mentoring relationships for STEM student success within the Bridges Scholars community at Miami University. The Bridges Scholars program is a program that is dedicated to promoting a deeper understanding of and appreciation for diversity while also providing students with resources needed to navigate throughout […]
B15: Headspace analysis of food and beverages using the tin oxide electrochemical sensor
The tin oxide electrochemical sensor is the active component in the personal breathalyzer used for ethanol detection. The sensor works by ethanol vapor reacting with oxygen species adsorbed to the SnO2 surface, then releasing trapped electrons back into the conduction band which changes the output voltage. However, to the best of our knowledge, the analytical […]
A43: Relationships Between Children & LGBT-Identifying Characters in Picture Storybooks
As a future educator and a member of the LGBT community, I wanted to know what kinds of messages children’s literature including LGBT characters were sending. How are LGBT characters being portrayed in these stories? Are they people that children could see themselves knowing, or do they seem distant and foreign? In my study, I […]
CSI-04: Comprehensive Transcriptome and Methylome of the Developing Chick Retina
The embryonic chicken (Gallus gallus) has proved an integral model organism for studying retina development. Furthermore, the embryonic chicken demonstrates the remarkable ability to regenerate retina in response to injury. Despite these important traits, a complete understanding of gene regulation during chick retinal development is lacking. Epigenetic regulation is an important class of gene regulation, […]
B46: Transrational peace: Exploring an emerging philosophical framework to promote integration of international students on U.S. college campuses
Human beings seek social belonging and recognition in community. International students also seek and require these communal goods, which are critical to educational persistence (Tinto, 1998; Zepke et al, 2006). A consistent research finding in U.S., Canadian, and Australian higher education institutions is that most CIS have strong social networks with compatriots, but weak links […]
A50: The impact sense of belonging has on African American students at predominantly white institutions
This study addresses the sense of belonging among culturally diverse students at predominantly white institutions of higher education; and the effect it has on their pursuit of higher education and academic success. The purpose of this research project is to discover whether or not culturally diverse students in the Bridges Scholars program at Miami University […]
C12: The role of lipids in thylakoid protein insertion
Most photosynthetic proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm of the plant cell but are used in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. The cpTAT pathway is a transport pathway in the thylakoid that helps move photosynthesis-related proteins to their site of function and requires the work of three membrane proteins, Tha4, Hcf106, and cpTatC. Membranes, […]
B79: The Viral Nature of Distraction
Though much research has been done on the topic of distraction, little has done so in the view of a group setting, and moreover, its spread. Jonathan LeNeveu and Dr. Leonard J. Smart of the Department of Psychology wanted to view how the state of being distracted was spread throughout a classroom. The aim of […]
A49: The Characteristics of Effective Mental Wellbeing Initiatives to Aid Teacher Induction in Urban Schools: A Review of the Literature
Teachers in urban school districts report lower states of mental wellbeing and self-efficacy compared to their suburban and rural counterparts. Poor mental wellbeing is notably pervasive among induction year teachers, defined as those in their first two or three years of teaching, which is frequently cited as a driving force behind high turnover in urban […]
