All The Single Ladies: Romantic Partnering And Its Influence On The Self-Esteem Of Female College Students
Stander Symposium Projects
As college students understand and vocalize their needs, supports, and decisions, they begin to believe in their own choices and build confidence and self-esteem. Early on in their undergraduate years, many female students define themselves by their social relationships and cannot separate themselves from whom they are associated with. Thus, those in a committed romantic relationship may have more validation and support for fostering self-esteem than those who are not romantically involved. The current study seeks to understand the relationship between 250undergraduate female students’ levels of self-esteem and romantic partnerships, and projected changes if the relationship status were to change. …
Community Despite Contingency: Working Together, Achieving Together
Community Despite Contingency: Working Together, Achieving Together
Stander Symposium Projects
In the changing context of higher education, many faculty members are experiencing an increased workload, more accountability, fewer resources, and a changing student demographic (Eddy & Garza-Mitchell, 2012), which can result in a faculty who feels overworked and disconnected. Learning Communities have been used as a way to meet the needs of faculty members by developing a sense of community and reinvigorating their scholarship of teaching (Cox, 2004). While learning communities can work well for faculty, the largest growing subset of the professoriate, adjunct faculty, often do not have this support. Adjunct faculty are generally not satisfied with the support …

Embodied Cognition: A Study Of Social Loneliness Compensation By Physical Warmth
Embodied Cognition: A Study Of Social Loneliness Compensation By Physical Warmth
Stander Symposium Projects
The following study investigated embodied cognition and its effect on social loneliness compensation with physical warmth. Bargh and Shalev (2012) were able to support the notion of embodied cognition—our thoughts depend on our bodies and vice versa—suggesting that a socially lonely person will compensate for their loneliness with physical warmth, specifically warmer, more frequent and longer showers or baths. This also suggests an unconscious self-mechanism for the body and mind to self-regulate. This study also investigates embodied cognition in regard to social loneliness compensation with physical warmth, and also a further proposal that a person with higher sensitivity to their …
Research Exercise: Fund Allocation Strategies For Etfs: A Contrarian Approach
Research Exercise: Fund Allocation Strategies For Etfs: A Contrarian Approach
Stander Symposium Projects
In this study, I evaluate a portfolio weighting strategy called inverse relative price strength (IRPS). This weighting strategy gives higher weights to ETFs with lower prices relative to some benchmark price. The benchmark price is the Russell 3000 Index. IRPS is dynamic in that the weights change as relative prices change. The six ETFs evaluated in this study are large cap growth, mid cap growth, small cap growth, large cap value, mid cap value, and small cap value. As mentioned above, all of these ETFs trade on the market like individual stocks but are constructed in such a way that …

Examination Of Host Range Of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Phages Ut1, Sn-T, And Pev@ For Treatment Of Bacterial Biofilms In Fuels
Stander Symposium Projects
Biofilms are slimy substances made up of bacteria that attach to surfaces. Biofilms can be found in natural settings (rocks in streams) and man-made environments (hospital catheters, pipelines). Biofilms are also found in aviation fuel tanks, causing physical issues such as clogging in fuel lines and changing the chemical makeup of the fuel via bacterial metabolism. Bacterial viruses, known as phage, show potential for reducing biofilms through phage therapy. The goal is to find a phage or combination of phage with a broad host range that would be most effective in reducing the biofilms of bacteria isolated from fuel tanks. …

Heat Transfer Coefficient Correlations For Pumparound Sections Of Petroleum Fractionation Towers
Stander Symposium Projects
The accuracy of several empirical correlations for estimating heat transfer coefficients within pumparound sections of atmospheric and vacuum petroleum fractionation towers was investigated. The heat transfer coefficients were estimated according to the C.F. Braun correlation for trayed pumparounds and the atmospheric and vacuum Glitsch correlations for packed pumparounds. From these correlations, heat transfer coefficients were estimated for 43 different petroleum fractionator pumparounds based on operating data gathered from nine refineries around the globe. The accuracy of the correlations was evaluated by comparing the estimated heat transfer coefficients to actual values calculated from operating data. Results showed that while the C.F. …

Its Snowing: A New Outlook On Motion-Induced Blindness
Its Snowing: A New Outlook On Motion-Induced Blindness
Stander Symposium Projects
Motion-induced blindness occurs when an unchanging part of the visual field that is stationary relative to the fovea perceptually disappears when, in fact, the stimulus is still present. It was originally thought to be related to the fact that a target stimulus is stationary while other objects in the visual field are uniformly moving, hence the name of the phenomenon. However, it has since been established that motion, per se, is not necessary for motion-induced blindness to occur and that motion-induced blindness can occur in the presence of any type of uniform change, such as a collection of lights getting …
Improving Female Science Scores Through Stem Curriculum
Improving Female Science Scores Through Stem Curriculum
Stander Symposium Projects
Currently in education there is a stress on career readiness. Specifically in science education, teachers are expected to educate their students not only on science concepts but also careers that involve Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). According to the United States Department of Education (2013), the United States is falling behind on mathematics and science education, ranking 25th and 17th in the world. These numbers must increase in order to prepare students for success in STEM fields as they graduate. One approach teachers use to ensure that students are well versed in the STEM fields is STEM education. In …
Party Building: Factors To Encourage Third Party Support Among 18-24 Year Olds
Party Building: Factors To Encourage Third Party Support Among 18-24 Year Olds
Stander Symposium Projects
Third parties have always existed within American politics, yet have never claimed the ultimate political victory: the Presidency. Third parties often enjoy support from single issue voters, a strong, concentrated group of serious devotees, but they often fail to attract more consistent backing similar to that enjoyed by the two major parties. A major source of third party patronage is also found on the university campus, yet this support often fades shortly after college. Using survey data, this thesis analyzes the potential impact party building and media campaign strategies would have on third parties in gaining the lasting support of …
Purification And Biochemical Characterization Of A Xylanolytic Glycoside Hydrolase From Caldicellulosiruptor Saccharolyticus
Stander Symposium Projects
In response to the current global energy crisis, biofuels have become a viable renewable energy solution and require a carbohydrate source to begin their production. One such carbohydrate source option is biomass, which is comprised of complex sugars that can be broken down into simple sugars and then fermented for the production of bioethanol. The bacterium called Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus contains many glycoside hydrolase enzymes that have the potential for metabolizing the complex sugars in several carbohydrate sources, including those in biomass. This project is focused on the cloning of the Csac_2410 gene from C. saccharolyticus, expression of the gene as …

Statistically Equivalent Serial Chain Modeling With Kinect And Wii Balance Board
Stander Symposium Projects
Identifying the center of mass location provides a significant aid in controlling the balance of humanoid robots. Additionally, in humans this location is an essential parameter in postural control and is critical in assessing rehabilitation. Anthropometric tables have been complied for this identification but their accuracy is readily questioned. This research presents an estimation technique that uses the statically equivalent serial chain (SESC), a representation of any multilink branched chain whose end-effector locates the center of mass. In order to construct the SESC for center of mass prediction, a Kinect and Wii balance board are used. The Kinect provides joint …

Wanted: Bromances: Impacts Of Hegemonic Masculinity On The Relationships Of Sophomore Men
Wanted: Bromances: Impacts Of Hegemonic Masculinity On The Relationships Of Sophomore Men
Stander Symposium Projects
Hegemonic masculinity is constructed in a way that pressures men into certain behaviors and mindsets. Traditional genders roles emphasized in hegemonic masculinity call for alcohol and drug abuse, unprotected sex, and other prohibited behavior (Edwards & Jones, 2009). There is a significant lack of research aimed specifically on the sophomore year experience for college students (Gardner et al., 2010). Hegemonic masculinity (Arxer, 2011) and its foundations give way to how men translate the pressures of masculinity into relationships. The research for this study revolved around the success of sophomore students and hegemonic masculinity. The study attempted to gain a new …
Tissi
Stander Symposium Projects
My thesis is a collection of short stories. The stories depict the lives of four children living in South Sudan trying to survive the genocide. One young girl has been brutally raped. A young boy is taking on the responsibility of raising his younger siblings. The third story shows a young boy who has been kidnapped and forced to be a child soldier. The fourth story is a story of hope. These stories are designed to show the chaos of genocide, and the difference that even a little assistance could make to the lives of the people in South Sudan.
Research Exercise: Timor-Leste, Un Women Peacekeepers, And The Gender Gap
Research Exercise: Timor-Leste, Un Women Peacekeepers, And The Gender Gap
Stander Symposium Projects
This presentation examines the role of women in United Nations peacekeeping operations, using the example of recent operations in Timor-Leste, and makes the case that there is a need for more female United Nations peacekeepers to partake in post conflict peacekeeping operations, democratization and social and political reconstruction in order to promote gender equality. Women are mostly sidelined or alienated in the participation of various peacebuilding and societal reconstruction. This creates a false conception that women are ignorant in such areas and have nothing to offer to peacekeeping efforts. However, women have played a vital role at the grassroots level …
The Role Of Nitrogen Vacancy In Optical Transitions In Gan
The Role Of Nitrogen Vacancy In Optical Transitions In Gan
Stander Symposium Projects
Nominally undoped n-type Gallium Nitride (GaN) layers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on silicon substrates were studied. Thermal Admittance Spectroscopy (TAS) and Optical Admittance Spectroscopy (OAS) techniques were used to characterize these layers. Using Thermal Admittance Spectroscopy (TAS), a defect level was observed at Ec – 0.051 eV and this defect is correlated with the nitrogen vacancy (Nv) in GaN. The samples were illuminated with a monochromatic light with wavelengths (λ) ranging from 200 nm to 450 nm. The OAS spectrum was measured at different temperatures and with different excitation light intensities. The spectrum shows a maximum photoconductance …

Using Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS) data on revenue and gross operating profit at the 4 digit SIC code level,five and ten year compound annual growth rates (CAGR) are calculated for a small sample (10) of industry groups. Higher rates of growth in the most recent 5 years compared to the 10 year period will be considered a positive momentum factor. The hypothesis to be to tested is that 4 digit SIC codes with …
An Undivided Heart: How Mary Unites What Sin Divides According To John Paul Ii's Theology Of The Body
Stander Symposium Projects
Today, personhood is often threatened by the tendency to divide the human person into two contrasting parts: body and soul. Many times, this causes the human person to be reduced to a disembodied spiritual being or a disposable object rather than a whole person called to love and be loved. In his teachings known as the Theology of the Body, John Paul II uses a personalistic approach to illuminate the human person as the integration of body and soul. Scripturally based, Theology of the Body is the study of God’s reflection in the human body and human sexuality. Using John …
Research Exercise: Analyzing Circuit Court Rulings In Shield Law Cases
Research Exercise: Analyzing Circuit Court Rulings In Shield Law Cases
Stander Symposium Projects
Journalists in most states are permitted under state law to protect the identities of their confidential sources. Those seeking the identities include defendants in criminal cases, prosecutors, and plaintiffs and respondents in various civil actions. Journalists usually decline to reveal their confidential sources so as not to become “an arm of the law” or an advocate for any cause or party. They also often want to shield people who genuinely have something serious to fear if their identities became known. Even so, some courts in some cases have defied shield laws and ordered journalists to reveal their sources under penalty …
As Stable As The Dollar Stretches: Foreign Aid And Social Stability In Jordan
As Stable As The Dollar Stretches: Foreign Aid And Social Stability In Jordan
Stander Symposium Projects
After the fall out of the Arab Spring in 2010, most of the countries in the Middle East and North Africa region suffered from extreme political, social, and economical instability. Usually, the citizens of these counties were revolting against the authoritarian regimes that have held power for decades. Jordan stands as the only obvious exception. How has Jordan maintained relative economic stability where others have failed? I have found that it is hard to judge the economic or social stability of Jordan without recognizing the large amounts of foreign aid Jordan has received from the US. This thesis asks what …
