How To Impress: Coordinating A Large Video Data Set For A Collaborative Project, Noah-Kee Marks, Rita Dawod
DePaul Discoveries
Though many different research methods involve mass quantities of video/audio data, there is little discussion of best practices for organization, especially when the research is collaborative. The guidelines we provide here were created while conducting educational research on the IMPRESS project, an integrated metacognitive program for at risk STEM majors at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Our hope is to encourage large-scale, collaborative research of qualitative video data by using our project as an example and providing enough information for readers to make a judgment on the efficacy of this process for their own projects.

Using data archives containing radial-velocity and light intensity information for stars, the DePaul Astrophysics Working Group created MATLAB programs to read and analyze the data in hopes of detecting extrasolar planets. The codes were able to successfully create graphs and obtain orbital periods for potential planets which matched published results. Additional tests were then researched to be used in the future as to confirm new planets.
Comparison Of Soil Phosphorus Concentration In Farm Restored And Reference Wetlands In Lake County, Il, Catherine L. Pease
Comparison Of Soil Phosphorus Concentration In Farm Restored And Reference Wetlands In Lake County, Il, Catherine L. Pease

The soil in the Midwest is fertile for agriculture use and therefore a lot of the wetlands have been turned into farmland. Wetlands can act as a sink for excess nutrients such as phosphorus. In part due to their value for nutrient storage, restoration of wetlands has become more frequent, including restoration of wetlands on former farmland. I am interested in phosphorus and the potential of wetlands to either store or release phosphorus. I compared differences in soil reactive phosphorus of restored and reference wetlands. This study compares Prairie Wolf Slough (PWS), a restored wetland, to two reference wetlands, both …
Decomposition Of Horse Manure (As A Surrogate For Human Feces) In Three Soil Media And The Implications Of Manure Leachate For The Germination Of Radish Seeds, Edwin J. Castaneda, Caitlin Vaughn
Decomposition Of Horse Manure (As A Surrogate For Human Feces) In Three Soil Media And The Implications Of Manure Leachate For The Germination Of Radish Seeds, Edwin J. Castaneda, Caitlin Vaughn

In this microcosm study we examined the decomposition of horse manure in three substrates: potting soil, wood mulch, and sand. Microcosms consisted of a sample of horse manure placed in a small leachable chamber, containing one of the three substrates. Mulch promoted the greatest mass loss. Leachate collected by irrigating each microcosm with distilled water was used to germinate radish seeds. Only the leachate from microcosms in which manure decomposed in potting soil promoted greater radish radicle growth compared to the controls in which no manure was placed. The implications of these results for the design of a soil-based decomposing …
