Subsurface Infiltration Vaults: Puttin' Water In It's Place, Ryan Benton Miles, Thomas James Lakas Jr, Matt Ellison, Callie Naomi Jernigan Apr 2014

Subsurface Infiltration Vaults: Puttin' Water In It's Place, Ryan Benton Miles, Thomas James Lakas Jr, Matt Ellison, Callie Naomi Jernigan

EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement

Recent EPA regulations require the infiltration of the first inch of rainfall from each storm event occurring on all new development sites. Subsurface infiltration vaults are an effective strategy for increasing residential stormwater infiltration according to those regulations. These vaults are an alternative to common Best Management Practices (BMP) such as rain gardens and green roofs. The vaults are corrugated plastic arches with front and side walls extending from the arch to the soil surface. These arches will be placed in a trench and covered with gravel and cement. This design improves upon existing subsurface vault designs by enhancing applicability …

An Investigation Of Diagnostic And Treatment Methods For Patients Suffering From Arachnoid Cysts, Helene Marie Rynczak, John F. Taylor Apr 2014

An Investigation Of Diagnostic And Treatment Methods For Patients Suffering From Arachnoid Cysts, Helene Marie Rynczak, John F. Taylor

EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement

Arachnoid cysts are congenital, fluid-filled lesions located in the head. While most are asymptomatic, arachnoid cysts can cause debilitating symptoms in patients, including headaches, developmental delay, seizures, and physical disabilities. Current diagnostic and treatment methods are based on a trial and error approach with limited options available to patients and doctors. This research aims to identify areas for the development of innovative diagnostic and treatment methods to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from symptomatic arachnoid cysts.

Our research project began with the investigation of arachnoid cyst prevalence, correlation of symptoms with cyst location and the effectiveness of …
