Undergraduate Perceptions Ofinterpersonal Violence, Joshua Mcdowell, Madison Bainter, Abigail Hammeke
Kansas Undergraduate Research Day
Interpersonal violence is an issue facing all college campuses, including those in Kansas. Some studies indicate that more than a quarter of surveyed college students admit to having perpetrated actions construed as sexually violent in nature. Title IX of the Education Amendments Act requires schools to respond to issues of sexual violence. This approach, while important, reacts to incidents that have already occurred rather than preventing violence. One possible reason for the rampant existence of sexual violence on campuses is that many behaviors are not identified as violent, even by those on the receiving end. This study presents findings from …
Effect Of Triclosan Concentration On Growth Rate Of Lemna Minor, Lia Boese
Effect Of Triclosan Concentration On Growth Rate Of Lemna Minor, Lia Boese
Kansas Undergraduate Research Day
The effect of triclosan exposure on growth of Lemna minor (common duckweed) was investigated over a 14 day treatment period with percent population change as the measured result. Triclosan is a common antibacterial compound in personal care products that frequently becomes an aquatic pollutant. Triclosan disrupts the bacterial enyol-acyl carrier protein reductase enzyme (ENR), a critical enzyme in fatty acid synthesis. Survival of all organisms depends on fatty acids to form membranes. As bacteria, some protozoa and plants share the ENR enzyme, it was hypothesized that triclosan exposure would affect the growth rate of the native aquatic plant Lemna minor …
Facial Recognition Of Dark Triad Traits And The Link To Prenatal Androgen Exposure, Taylor Willits, Arianne Fisher
Facial Recognition Of Dark Triad Traits And The Link To Prenatal Androgen Exposure, Taylor Willits, Arianne Fisher
Kansas Undergraduate Research Day
The Dark Triad is a personality construct composed of psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism that is commonly associated with a variety of undesirable behaviors. High prenatal androgen exposure has been associated with various behavioral and personality characteristics also commonly found in individuals high in the Dark Triad. This may suggest a link between prenatal androgen exposure and the development of the Dark Triad. Additionally, previous research has found that the faces of individuals high in the Dark Triad are able to be identified at rates significantly better than chance. This identification may indicate evolutionary benefits associated with facial recognition of Dark …
Pig Growth And Development Based On Differing Swine Rations, Hannah Speer
Pig Growth And Development Based On Differing Swine Rations, Hannah Speer
Kansas Undergraduate Research Day
This study was developed to provide nutritional advice to young swine producers who are purchasing and growing young show pigs. The objective of this study was to compare the rate of gain and associated economic cost per pound of gain relative to different show pig rations. Information gained from this study could provide an educated decision making tool enabling young producers to be economically viable in the swine industry. The trial was divided into four groups containing seven mixed breed pigs of similar weight. All of the pigs within the trial were within eight days of age. Three groups were …
