1. What Disrupts Cycles of Poverty? Examining the Effect of Family Background and Educational Attainment on Receiving Public Assistance with Multivariate Regression

Creator:: Vargas, Patricia I.
Abstract:: Understanding poverty as a state of being poor with regard to concretely being unable to meet basic needs such as water, food, clothes, shelter, and essential services (e.g., sanitation, health, and education), its concerted study in the United States not only stands tandem with constitutionally upheld values such as equality...

2. Love Language: Does your relationship status appear in your writing?

Creator:: Linder, Lillian, Downey, Quinn, Chok, Kristie, and Stosic, Morgan
Abstract:: Past research has shown that individual's word usage can reveal aspects of who they are and how they behave (Tausczik & Pennebaker, 2010). For instance, couples who use inclusive pronouns such as “we,” as opposed to singular pronouns such as "I" cope better in relationships (Moran, 2018). Further, the use...

3. Class Standing and Success: Do Freshmen Have Lower Self-Efficacy & Goal Achievement for "Difficult" Goals?

Creator:: Carlson, Rebecca and Almuaybid, Ameer
Abstract:: Do freshmen achieve less of their personal and academic short-term goals in comparison to upperclassmen? Some may intuitively assume that due to age, or lack of experience, college freshmen would have lower perceived task-specific ability (self-efficacy) and actually achieve less (goal-completion ranging from 0% to 100%). Differences between various class-standing...

4. CMIP6 Abrupt CO2 Quadrupling Scenario: Analysis of Climate Model Output to Determine the Effect of Clouds

Creator:: Ericksen, Kristin M.
Abstract:: The largest source of uncertainty among climate models simulating the climate system response to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations is the cloud feedback, the amplification or dampening of the warming from the carbon dioxide forcing by clouds. Refining our knowledge of the cloud feedback is therefore essential to gaining a...

5. Associations Between Adolescent Trauma and Adult Facial Trustworthiness

Creator:: Ames, Ashley
Abstract:: Any interaction with another person requires some judgement of their characteristics from a short amount of time. Each day a person can interact with many individuals and quick judgments have to be made in each situation to decide how to act or react. This means a person can make hundreds...

6. Testing Extractants to Study How Protein Interacts with Iron Oxide Minerals

Creator:: Tan, Aylmer and Chacon, Stephany S.
Abstract:: The goals of this experiment highlighted in this poster were to find a suitable extractant to extract protein adsorbed onto iron oxide minerals and to determine whether those minerals can modify protein. Data obtained from this experiment provides crucial background information to study the effects hydrogen peroxide has on protein...

7. How to Gain Research Experience as an Online Learning Student

Creator:: DeMeyer, Joanna M.
Abstract:: Lightning Talk

8. Determining the Intracellular Location of NOX Proteins in Symbiotic Aiptasia

Creator:: Rice, Lily A.
Abstract:: The symbiotic relationship between cnidarians and algae is important to the marine ecosystem due to the photosynthesis produced by the algae and the coral reefs that cnidarians provide. Corals provide their algal partner with a safe home and the algae supply the cnidarians with inorganic materials as a food source....

9. Mapping the OSU Undergraduate Experience: National Survey of Student Engagement

Creator:: Balasankar, Karthiyesan and Bernard, Alexandria
Abstract:: This report provides an overview of selected findings from the 2019 NSSE survey completed at OSU. It focuses on two particular subsets of the survey results: Engagement Indicators and High-Impact Practices. The report outlines the insights drawn from the survey to look at the undergraduate student experience at OSU.
Resource Type:: Technical Report

10. Ionic Strength and pH: A Look at Nanostar Stability

Creator:: Aldous, Tanner J. E.
Abstract:: Nanostars have many potential applications, particularly in biomedicine, such as drug delivery, detection assays, and even cancer treatment. Seeing how their plasmon changes in response to changes to the environment of the nanostars can give us an insight to the stability of the nanostars. Our current studies involve the effect...
