Fluid Motion ‐ Exhibit, Library, Said Shakerin Oct 2013

Fluid Motion ‐ Exhibit, Library, Said Shakerin

SOECS Exhibitions

This report provides complete documentation of activities leading to Fluid Motion, an exhibit held in Pacific’s Library, and Art with Fluid Mechanics, a related presentation given to Armchair Traveler Program at Delta College.

Exhibit: Fluid Motion, July 15‐October 15, 2013

Presentation: Art with Fluid Mechanics, October 15, 2013

About 40 still images displaying beauty and complexity of fluid motion were obtained, with permission, from scientists and artists from several countries for the exhibit and presentation. Due to space limitation, only sixteen images were shown in the Exhibit plus a scan of a page from Aramco World magazine (sand dune) and …

Sound And The Moving Image:Critical Characteristics For Spectator Response, Kara Rader, Rafeeq I. Roberts, Matt Egizii, Jeffery Allen Sep 2013

Sound And The Moving Image:Critical Characteristics For Spectator Response, Kara Rader, Rafeeq I. Roberts, Matt Egizii, Jeffery Allen

Undergraduate Research Posters 2013

The prevailing wisdom in the film and video production industries is that audio information outweighs visual information when it comes to spectator responses, but there are few empirical studies to support this claim. In previous research, four critical characteristics of sound have been identified: (1) Music, (2) visual/sound contradictions (defined as sound that is inconsistent with audience expectations based on visual information), (3) multi-channel sound, and (4) sound quality. Building on our previous research into music and film, we have found that many researchers have looked into the question of how music affects emotions (Eschrich et al., 2008; Have, 2008; …


Role Of Programmed Proteolysis During Meiosis, Vincent Matthews, G. Valentin Borner Ph.D. Sep 2013

Role Of Programmed Proteolysis During Meiosis, Vincent Matthews, G. Valentin Borner Ph.D.

Undergraduate Research Posters 2013

Meiosis is the process which forms gametes and spores for reproduction in eukaryotic cells. During the pachytene phase of meiosis I, a protein structure, called the Synaptonemal Complex (SC), forms between homologous chromosomes and creates a scaffold for genetic recombination. In yeast, the Zip1 protein is a major structural component of the SC. At restrictive temperature for meiosis, ZIP1 is required for completion of meiotic divisions. At permissive temperature ZIP1 is required for proper chromosome segregation. We observed that chemical inhibition of the proteasome, with MG132, results in arrest at prophase of meiosis I. Based on these results, we questioned …

A Pilot Study Of The Effect Of An Acute Vestibular Therapy On Postural Stability And Gaze Patterns Of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Apr 2013

A Pilot Study Of The Effect Of An Acute Vestibular Therapy On Postural Stability And Gaze Patterns Of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Stander Symposium Projects

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) struggle with sensory regulation, resulting in abnormal gaze patterns and decreased postural stability. Sensory integration (SI) therapy is a common therapy used to help children with ASD with these issues, however, there is insufficient quantitative research concerning its effectiveness. A pilot study is currently being conducted to quantify the acute effects of a SI vestibular treatment on postural stability and gaze patterns. Both children diagnosed with ASDs and typically developing children are participating in the study, and test methods include quiet standing posturography and analysis of socially relevant visual fixations recorded by a mobile …


Understanding Chinese Students In A Global Context Apr 2013

Understanding Chinese Students In A Global Context

Stander Symposium Projects

Nowadays, more and more Chinese students choose to study in American higher education institutions. According to "Open Doors," the number of Chinese students enrolled at American colleges jumped 23% between 2010 and 2011, to 194,029, which is 25% of the total number of international students enrolled at American colleges. Along with that increase various challenges arise. The need to address global-centered settings becomes more and more urgent in American higher education. American universities set up curriculum and co-curriculum based on the assumption that every student has some certain knowledge or skills, which are usually lacking in the case of international …
