  • Turn-Taking in Face-to-Face Conversations: A Proposed Theory of Chair Swiveling

    Creator:
    Smith, Lyshuand R.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to propose swiveling behavior as a potential speech transitioning device and to discuss the methodology behind qualitative and quantitative analysis of swivels in relation to subjects’ partners. Due to the impacts of gaze and body orientation direction on speech transitioning, it is deduced that,...

  • Language as a barrier of teaching mathematics to English language learners

    Creator:
    Sechrist, Josephine
    Abstract:
    In recent years, there has been a steady increase in the number of English Language Learners (ELL) in the United States. According to the Education Commission of the States, ELLs have significantly lower achievement levels than their non-ELL peers. Further, numerous research studies report that teacher education programs lack ELL...

  • Alternative Carrier Solvents for Use with Resolubilized Fungal Pigments to IncreaseInternal Color Coverage in Wood Substrates

    Creator:
    Pittis, Lauren
    Abstract:
    Five solvents were used to resolubilize the fungal pigments of Chlorociboria aeruginosa and Scytalidium cuboideum, two common fungi used in the spalting of wood pieces. These solvents were tested as a replacement for dichloromethane in the pigment application process, via analysis of their ability to increase internal color coverage inside...

  • Creation of a Bilingual Children’s Book to Highlight the Racial and Ethnic Disparities in U.S. Dental Service Utilization

    Creator:
    Huynh, Daniel T.
    Abstract:
    Although Latino students make up more than a quarter of the U.S. public school system, only three percent of children’s literature either features a Latino protagonist or is written by a Latino author (Machado et al.). Latinos are therefore severely underrepresented in children’s books. Additionally, studies have revealed that Latino...

  • Simulation of Steady Flight of Butterflies and Improvement of Parameter Optimization

    Creator:
    Selover-Stephan, Tassilo
    Abstract:
    Recent interest in nano aerial vehicles (NAVs) has sparked an increase in research on the mechanics of biological flapping flight. The ability of NAVs to fly in confined spaces and perform tight maneuvers make them a valuable technological asset. Researching the mechanisms behind small-scale flapping flight promises progress toward the...

  • View-based editing of variational code

    Creator:
    Van de Wetering, Miles
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses the merits of providing users variational views when editing variational code. I provide a plugin for the popular Atom Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which replaces #ifdef annotations commonly used by the C PreProcessor (CPP) with colored backgrounds, thus reducing code clutter and attempting to help programmers quickly...

  • Characterization of a Transgenic Mouse for Human Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1)

    Creator:
    You, Hyekyoung Hannah
    Abstract:
    Cytochrome P450 1B1 (Cyp1B1) is a xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme, responsible for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) oxidative metabolism. CYP1B1 metabolically activates several species of environmentally relevant procarcinogenic PAHs to reactive carcinogens. PAHs are aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists, leading to CYP1B1 upregulation. Though CYP1B1 is highly conserved across species, wild type...

  • Lionfish Prey Preference between Native Basslets

    Creator:
    Anderson, Emily R.
    Abstract:
    The lionfish (Pterois volitans) is a successful invasive predator with large impacts on native fish populations in the western Atlantic. Lionfish predation may affect competition between prey species so it is important to understand whether lionfish display preferences between prey species. I investigated lionfish and native graysby grouper prey preference...

    Abstract:
    The proper way to order knowledge and find truth about the natural world in the eighteenth century lay in one’s ability to correctly learn and employ the quality of reason. While all had the right to seek reason, only a privileged few achieved its proper use, creating an intellectual elite...
