Visualizing Lab And Phenotype Associations Using Phewas And Electronic Health Records, Brenda Emerson, Miriam Goldman, Sahiti Kolli
Honors Projects
As the digitization of patient health records is becoming more common, we are given a great opportunity to analyze these records and hopefully make discoveries about diseases or medicines. Being given large datasets of Electronic Health Records, I and two other students decided to look for novel phenotype associations with mean lab values, look to see whether the presence of a lab had associations with a phenotype, and create an interactive application to visual the associations between labs and phenotypes.

Skew normal distribution has been introduced by Azzalini (1985) as an alternative to the normal distribution to accommodate asymmetry. Since then extensive studies have been done on applying Azzalini’s skewness mechanism to other well-known distributions, such as skew-t distribution which is more flexible and can better accommodate long tailed data than the skew normal one. Cordeiro and de Castro (2011) proposed a new class of distribution called the Kumaraswamy generalized distribution (Kw − F) which is capable of fitting skewed data that cannot be fitted well by existing distributions. Since then, the Kw −F distribution has been widely studied and …
Silver Nanoparticles As A Potential Solar Absorber, Benjamin Hardy
Silver Nanoparticles As A Potential Solar Absorber, Benjamin Hardy
Honors Projects
This work reports the development of Silver nanoparticles implanted into a polymer as a solar absorber. The plasmonic nature of silver nanoparticle allows for adjustments to be made in its UV-VIS-NIR absorbance spectrum. A combination of different sized/shaped particles could result in ideal absorption of the majority of the solar spectrum. Allotting this with the stability of a polymer leads to potential solids or solutions that could work as a solar absorber. Tests were also performed to determine whether or not UV-C irradiation during synthesis effects the characteristics of silver nanoparticles, in particular the absorbance. Successful synthesis of silver nanoparticle …
Assessing The Relationship Between Change Blindness And The Anchoring Effect, Melissa Schoenlein
Assessing The Relationship Between Change Blindness And The Anchoring Effect, Melissa Schoenlein
Honors Projects
A lack of consideration for all aspects of a question prompts fragmented decision making. These decisions, as they leave out fundamental information, repeatedly then lead to a potentially problematic reaction to the target question or stimuli. The anchoring heuristic propels one to make a decision, usually an estimate, based on a presented “fact”, often ignoring additional background and environmental clues. Reducing the rate of occurrence of the anchoring bias is thought to lead to an increase in holistic decision making. To promote this reduction, the purpose of this research was to affirmexamine the relationship between the susceptibility to change blindness …

Converting Chemical Signatures In Vaterite Otoliths To Aragonite Otoliths In Steelhead Trout: Developing A Partition Coefficient, Jamie Justice
Honors Projects
Otoliths are small bones near the brain of teleost fish that aid in hearing and balance. Otoliths are typically composed of a polymorph of calcium carbonate called aragonite; however, when stressed, fish may transition to producing a less dense polymorph called vaterite. Otoliths are typically used in studies of fish natal origin or migration patterns because 1) otoliths grow concentrically around an origin (birth point), 2) the material in the otolith is not replaced over time, and 3) microelements (Sr and Ba) can be incorporated into the otoliths in proportion to elemental ratios in the water (i.e., when fish move …
Impacts On The Stakeholders Of The Nexus Pipeline, Jessica A. Speweike
Impacts On The Stakeholders Of The Nexus Pipeline, Jessica A. Speweike
Honors Projects
This journalistic feature covers the different impacts on those individuals who are involved with or affected by the Nexus Gas Transmission pipeline. Testimony from Ohio landowners, activists, scientists and public officials cover a variety of opinions and concerns raised by the pipeline. Private property rights, environmental impact, and possible economic implications are detailed by those who have been involved with the Nexus pipeline since its early stages of implementation.

Assessment plays a necessary role in the high school mathematics classroom, and testing is a major part of assessment. Students often struggle with mathematics tests and examinations due to math and test anxiety, a lack of student learning, and insufficient and inefficient student preparation. Practice tests, teacher-created review sheets, and student-created test sheets are ways in which teachers can help increase student performance, while ridding these detrimental factors. Student-created test sheets appear to be the most efficient strategy, and this research study examines the effects of their use in a high school mathematics classroom.
