Rejection Sensitivity As A Mediator Of The Effects Of Parental Support On Friendship Alienation
Rejection Sensitivity As A Mediator Of The Effects Of Parental Support On Friendship Alienation
Stander Symposium Projects
Previous research has shown an association between parental relationship and friendship quality, so that with higher quality relationships with parents, there is an increased probability of higher friendship quality. However, the process by which these variables are related remains unclear. The present study tested rejection sensitivity, or the tendency to readily perceive and expect social humiliation or rejection, as a possible mediator of the relationship between parental relationship quality and friend alienation. The current study hypothesized that parental relationship quality would be inversely associated with friendship alienation; and that the association between parental relationship quality and friendship alienation would be …
Refined Skills Of Physicians In Independently Owned Hospitals In India Reduce Healthcare Costs For Patients
Stander Symposium Projects
In America, we are currently striving to provide adequate healthcare to all, regardless of income level. We had the opportunity to travel to India to observe how patients of different income levels are treated in the different facilities available. For two months we shadowed physician, Dr. Mahmood Osmani, who owns a hospital with in-patient facility in Hyderabad, India, serving middle and lower income families. There we observed how treatments are provided for patients who pay minimum fees: by relying on more direct knowledge of the physician and less use of technology. The physician would palpate the abdomen at a particular …
Quasi-Plagiarism Vs. Human Universality In The Dystopian Genre
Quasi-Plagiarism Vs. Human Universality In The Dystopian Genre
Stander Symposium Projects
Dystopian literature characteristically addresses the plight of the “everyman” as he copes with the oppression imposed by a totalitarian regime. Touchstone writers of the genre known for novels including Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World and Anthem have, however, been scrutinized for creating uncannily similar plots. While scholars have linked the writers’ ideas back to a Russian predecessor, the novel We, this research explores how a charge of quasi-plagiarism is a shallow explanation. The great question being explored in any dystopian novel is whether government can save mankind from itself by eradicating individual will. The commonalities among that individual will dictate …
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 …
Research Exercise: Teaching English Learners With The Common Core State Standards
Research Exercise: Teaching English Learners With The Common Core State Standards
Stander Symposium Projects
As the world increasingly becomes more global, teaching English Learners (ELs) has presented a challenge for many educators who are unprepared for this type of diversity within the classroom. The drastic achievement gap between ELs and English-speaking students demand more attention to addressing this issue. However, as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are being adapted in nearly every state, the demand for a focus on academic language development shows progressive improvement. My research focuses on the impact that the implementation of the CCSS is having on ELs in our country, particularly on academic language. I will also examine effective …

The Good Shepard Ministries is a Miami Valley organization that assists in the recovery of former drug addicts and their successful re-entry into society. The ministry is funded by community donations of gently-used items and food. As members of the Social Justice Service Club, our service project is organizing a UD community donation drive to assist this ministry. Our plan is to set up donation bins in the Kettering Union, the RecPlex, and the freshman and sophomore dorms. Donated items will be collected and sorted through on a weekly basis and then transported to The Good Shepard Ministries for distribution …
Statistically Equivalent Serial Chain Modeling With Kinect And Wii Balance Board
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 …
Singularity-Free Synthesis Of Coupler-Drivers For Actuating Single Degree-Of-Freedom Mechanisms
Singularity-Free Synthesis Of Coupler-Drivers For Actuating Single Degree-Of-Freedom Mechanisms
Stander Symposium Projects
The goal of this research is to advance the synthesis methodology for designing coupler-drivers for actuating single degree of freedom mechanisms. A planar coupler-driver is a chain consisting of a fixed revolute joint, an actuated prismatic joint, and a moving revolute joint connected to an ideal location on a previously synthesized planar mechanism. Although such a chain may be connected between any fixed point and any moving point on the mechanism, the synthesis challenge is determining the locations of these points such that the mechanism moves over its desired range of motion without reaching a singularity. A singularity is a …

Revenue Momentum And Stock Price Movements For Flyer Fund Stocks: A Short Run Analysis
Stander Symposium Projects
Many investment managers look for momentum in top line revenue growth to determine if they want to purchase a particular stock or a group of stocks. In this study, we looked at the last eight quarters of revenue data for 30 stocks currently in the Flyer Fund and determine their compound quarterly growth rate (COGR) for 4 quarters and 8 quarters of data. Using Bloomberg's database, our timeline is from August 31, 2011 through August 31,2013. Using cross sectional regression analysis we regressed the 4 quarter and 8 quarter CQGR's on the compound quarterly growth rate on price (CQGP) for …
The Impact Of Social Awareness, Empathy, And Confidence On Blindness To Change In Facial Emotions
The Impact Of Social Awareness, Empathy, And Confidence On Blindness To Change In Facial Emotions
Stander Symposium Projects
Change blindness (CB) is an inability to detect changes in a visual stimulus. For example, Simons & Chabris (1999) used videotaped scenes depicting a gorilla walking across the screen, typically unnoticed by observers. The present research investigated blindness to changes in facial indications of emotion. Previous studies have shown that gradual changes of facial emotion produce substantive levels of CB when assessed by verbal report (David et al., 2006). It has also been noted that observers express high levels of confidence in their ability and accuracy to detect a change in a stimulus if it were to take place, even …

The Effect Of Input Parameters On Detrended Fluctuation Analysis Of Postural Control Data
The Effect Of Input Parameters On Detrended Fluctuation Analysis Of Postural Control Data
Stander Symposium Projects
Biological variability is critical for healthy function and is present in all types of physiological movements. Variability exists on a spectrum in which the optimal amount falls between two extremes: a lack of variability indicating rigidity and limited adaptability and excessive variability indicating instability and random, uncontrolled motion. It is believed that nonlinear analyses provide insight into variability that can help predict future movements based on current movements. Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a widely used nonlinear analysis tool for postural control research. A limitation of DFA is that the results are heavily dependent on input parameters (data length, window …
The Acute Effects Of Aerobic And Resistance Exercise On Cardiovascular Function And Arterial Stiffness
Stander Symposium Projects
This study investigated how long the cardiovascular effects of aerobic and resistance exercise propagate after completion of exercise in healthy males. Cardiovascular function was closely monitored to observe changes in arterial stiffness before exercise and during recovery. Parameters used to monitor vascular function include central and peripheral blood pressure, heart rate, velocity of blood flow, and blood biomarkers of vascular function. The study required participants to complete an aerobic, resistance and control exposure. Measures of the parameters were taken at rest and at specified intervals after completion of each protocol. These measurements were analyzed to determine the acute effects of …
Research Exercise: The "Genocide" Of Timor-Leste: A Study Of Human Suffering And International Ignorance
Stander Symposium Projects
The Indonesian occupation of Timor-Leste in 1975 resulted in the deaths of an estimated 200,000 Timorese, which accounted for more than a quarter of the territory’s total population. Unfortunately, this terrible injustice went almost completely unrecognized by the international community. Even more disturbing, there is evidence to suggest that the United States was not only aware of these injustices, but perhaps encouraged the Indonesians’ violent invasion. A mass killing of this magnitude is normally dubbed ”genocide.” However, the situation that occurred in Timor-Leste has never been labeled as an actual “genocide,” most likely due to the involvement of the United …

Zero Structural Error Function Generating Mechanisms
Zero Structural Error Function Generating Mechanisms
Stander Symposium Projects
A slider-crank mechanism consists of an input crankshaft, a connecting rod, and an output piston. As the crankshaft makes full rotations, the output piston produces periodic curves similar to a sine wave. A drag link mechanism consists of four links with the input and output links capable of making a complete rotation. Using the output of the drag link to drive the input of the slider-crank distorts the periodic output curve it produces. Function generation addresses the design of mechanisms to create desired output curves. As the addition of a single drag link to a slider-crank distorts the output curve …
Writing About My Adamantium Skeleton: Media Self-Assimilation Bolsters Grip Strength When Embodying A Personal Ideal
Stander Symposium Projects
Body image research focuses on how ideal physical dimensions, purported by media and culture, may not be attainable for the average person. For men, that includes evolutionary indicators of physical prowess, such as heavy musculature and physical strength. Findings often indicate deleterious effects of such media on positive regard toward the self following comparison between self and ideal other. However, considerably less research concerns itself with men feeling part of the muscular ideal, thus buffering themselves from feelings of inadequacy. The current study addresses this concern through media self-assimilation (MSA), a process of imbuing oneself with characteristics of a media …
Wingtip Vortices From An Exergy Based Perspective
Wingtip Vortices From An Exergy Based Perspective
Stander Symposium Projects
The lens of exergy is used to investigate a wingtip vortex in the near wake over a range of angles of attack. Exergy is the measure of thermodynamically “available” energy as determined through the more discriminating second law of thermodynamics. Experiments were conducted in a water tunnel at ILR Aachen. The data was taken three chord lengths downstream in the Trefftz plane of an aspect ratio (AR) 5 Clark-Y wing with a square edged wingtip using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Intuitively, the minimum available energy state is expected to correspond to the maximum lift to drag ratio angle of attack. …

The concept of Propinquity explains peer support as a catalyst within a student’s leadership development and provides insight for their various leadership skills and competencies. This research looks at University Dayton students' leadership competencies and strength of peer support through quantitative analyses of an online survey. Results offer insights for college professional staff and administrators in leadership programming.
We're Here To Help: Accessing The Needs Of Transfer Students.
We're Here To Help: Accessing The Needs Of Transfer Students.
Stander Symposium Projects
The need to assist transfer students is particularly important because transfer students enter into new institutions with unique needs, perspectives, and experiences compared to non-transfer students. Many orientation programs do not address the needs of transfer students and focus on freshman students. Little is known about the correlation between transfer students and orientation attendance. Therefore, this study aimed to identify transfer student needs, increase their attendance of orientation programs, and to provide effective programming for them. Participants were asked questions regarding barriers to program attendance and institutional support. This qualitative study focused on eight undergraduate students at a private, midsized, …
Upper Grade Level Literacy: Instructional Strategies For Struggling Readers
Upper Grade Level Literacy: Instructional Strategies For Struggling Readers
Stander Symposium Projects
Education research has shown that a quarter of eighth-grade students perform below basic reading proficiency. Despite this, reading instruction often ceases after eighth grade while text structure and content area language become more difficult. This research project focuses on studying strategies used for struggling readers in seventh through twelfth grade and includes a case study of a struggling reader in order to identify some of the characteristics and needs of struggling readers. This research synthesizes ideas from previous studies, analyzes teacher interviews for literacy instruction strategies, and, in the case study, uses observation, primary source study, and reading assessments.
Truncation Error For A Finite Difference Scheme For The Black-Scholes Model
Truncation Error For A Finite Difference Scheme For The Black-Scholes Model
Stander Symposium Projects
Finite difference methods are simplest and oldest methods among all the numerical techniques to approximate the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). The derivatives in the partial differential equation are approximated by finite difference formulas. The error between the numerical solution and the exact solution is determined by the error between a differential operator to a difference operator. This error is called the discretization error or truncation error. The term truncation error reflects the fact that a finite part of a Taylor series is used in the approximation. In this work we will analyze the truncation error for a finite …
Thou Shall Not: The Impact Of Faith On Female Students' Decision To Engage In Risky Behaviors
Thou Shall Not: The Impact Of Faith On Female Students' Decision To Engage In Risky Behaviors
Stander Symposium Projects
Alcohol abuse and other risky behaviors, such as illegal drug use and unplanned sex, are not uncommon on college campuses. Peers often influence these behaviors and students continue to believe involvement in them is connected to their college experience where students examine life’s meaning and purpose (Dodd, Glassman, Arthur, Webb & Miller, 2010). Therefore, an understanding of this relationship is needed. Qualitative, one-on-one interviews were conducted with eight female undergraduate students. Participants were all actively involved in a faith-based student organization on campus. Findings revealed students’ tendency to avoid risky behaviors due to their desire to honor their spiritual beliefs. …

The Reverse Mission: A Service Immersion In El Salvador
Stander Symposium Projects
The organization Christians for Peace in El Salvador, or CRISPAZ, hosted myself and ten other University of Dayton students for one week in January. Throughout this week my peers and I experienced the daily routines of those living in the fast-paced atmosphere of San Salvador, the capital city of El Salvador, as well as the town of San Jose Los Flores, a small agricultural village with dirt roads and one large church at the center. Representatives from CRISPAZ sat down with us on the first night in El Salvador to discuss the purpose of the mission trip. They explained that …
Research Exercise: S&P 500 Sector Weights: The Case For Inverse Relative Price Strength
Research Exercise: S&P 500 Sector Weights: The Case For Inverse Relative Price Strength
Stander Symposium Projects
In this study, I used a relative price strength model called the Inverse Relative Price Strength (IRPS) to develop a portfolio of 10 sector exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and then compared their performance to the overall market. I used the IRPS model as a proxy for the return risk optimizing process developed by Markowitz et, al. The hypothesis that I am testing is that sectors with lower relative prices compared to the market will have higher excess returns. The hypothesis is tested over the period 2008-2012. This particular period is highly volatile with large swings in both actual and relative prices. …
Low Alloy Steel Susceptibility To Stress Corrosion Cracking In Hydraulic Fracking Environment
Low Alloy Steel Susceptibility To Stress Corrosion Cracking In Hydraulic Fracking Environment
Stander Symposium Projects
The pipelines used for the process of hydraulic fracturing (aka. “fracking”) process are constantly operating at very high pressure and thus are highly susceptible to Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC). This is primarily due to the process of carrying out fracking at a shale gas site, where the hydraulic fracking fluid is pumped through these pipes at very high pressure in order to initiate fracture in the shale formation. While the fracking fluid is typically more than 99% water, other components are used to perform various functions during the fracking process. Research into the occurrence of SCC reveals that SCC is …
