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 […]
A14: Crown-ether appended Ortho-phenylenes with bound chiral guests
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
B35: Evaluating the Evolution of Magmatic Systems on Earth: Insights from Volcanoes and their Minerals on the Bolivian Altiplano, South America
Partial melting of Earth’s mantle in various tectonic settings leads to a wide array of magmatic processes and products in both at-plate boundary and intraplate settings. Of these, the volcanic products in regions where oceanic plates are descending below (or subducting beneath) overriding continental plates are mineralogically and chemically the most diverse. Classic examples include […]
B63: The Relationship Between Racial and Sexual Identity and Suicidal Ideation Among College Students Who Binge Drink
Suicidal ideation is a public health issue. In fact, 33% of college students have at least one suicidal thought annually (Becker, Holdaway, & Luebbe, 2018). In combination, binge drinking has gained popularity among college students. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the impact of college student binge drinking on suicidal ideation with […]
A93: MBI 223/224: No Matter How Small: Tiny Truffula & Other Novel Bacteriophages of Microbacterium foliorum
In Miami University’s Bacteriophage class, phages that infect Microbacterium foliorum were isolated. 12 of 20 phages were successfully isolated from organic matter and from that 3 were sequenced and later annotated in MBI 224. The three phages were from three different clusters: EE, EB, and EH. The EE and EB phages were found to be […]
