Power Analysis On A Pilot Study Of The Caloric Intake Of Children Helping Prepare Meals Versus Children Not, Danielle Clifford

Student Research Poster Presentations 2020

The purpose of this analysis is to determine the sample size needed for a study that will be used to discover if there is a difference in the caloric intake of children who help with meal preparation and children who do not help with meal preparation.


The Effect Of The Amount Of Water And Water Exposure Time On The Absorbency Of Sponges, Danielle Clifford Jan 2020

The Effect Of The Amount Of Water And Water Exposure Time On The Absorbency Of Sponges, Danielle Clifford

Student Research Poster Presentations 2020

Given the current global pandemic, now more than ever it is important to understand what factors lead to the best absorbency in a sponge as to stop the spread of bacteria and germs. The purpose of the experiment will be to determine the effect of the amount of time (15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 60 seconds, 75 seconds, and 90 seconds) and the amount of water (24 ounces, 32 ounces, and 40 ounces) on the absorbency of a sponge.


Internship With Alison's Homemade Welsh Cookies, Heather Harvey Jan 2020

Internship With Alison's Homemade Welsh Cookies, Heather Harvey

Student Research Poster Presentations 2020

During the Spring 2020 semester, I have been undergoing an internship with Alison's Homemade Welsh Cookies. They have allowed me full access to their data, in order to perform an analysis. Using the sames records from the 2019 year, each location has been identified on a map and the amounts sold tell which ares had the most and the least sales in 2019.

Bootstrap: Simulating The Cure, Heather Harvey Jan 2020

Bootstrap: Simulating The Cure, Heather Harvey

Student Research Poster Presentations 2020

The final project in STA 486, is to create a poster on an analysis done on a real life data set. This poster is describing a simulated bootstrap done on a data set about the band The Cure. It shows a 95% confidence interval on the effect that a songs danceability, liveness, and energy have on its popularity.

Do Liquids Boil At Different Rates?, Cade Corcoran Jan 2020

Do Liquids Boil At Different Rates?, Cade Corcoran

Student Research Poster Presentations 2020

I did this experiment as my final project for my Design of Experiments class at Misericordia University. I took three liquids, water, milk, and orange juice then measured the time it took for them to boil in three different size pots. I was testing to see if there was a significant interaction between the Liquid and Pot size factors. After conducting the experiment, the results show that there was a statistically significant interaction effect between the factors.


Predicting Diabetes Diagnoses, Sarah Netchert Jan 2020

Predicting Diabetes Diagnoses, Sarah Netchert

Student Research Poster Presentations 2020

This study explored the traits and health state of African Americans in central Virginia in order to determine what traits put people at a higher probability of being diagnosed with diabetes. We also want to know which traits will generate the highest probability a person will be diagnosed with diabetes. Traits that were included and used in this study were cholesterol, stabilized glucose, high density lipoprotein levels, age(years), gender, height(inches), weight(pounds), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, waist size(inches), and hip size(inches). There were 403 individuals included in study since they were only ones screened for diabetes out of 1,046 …


Green Chemistry: The Oxidation Of Benzaldehyde Using Atmospheric Oxygen And N-Heterocyclic Carbenes As Catalysts, Alex Brody, John Morgan Jan 2020

Green Chemistry: The Oxidation Of Benzaldehyde Using Atmospheric Oxygen And N-Heterocyclic Carbenes As Catalysts, Alex Brody, John Morgan

Student Research Poster Presentations 2020

Oxidation is a vital process in organic and biochemical reactions. In particular, the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes to carboxylic acids and esters is a vital process used in many different environments. Benzaldehyde is one common subject of this type of reaction, used in the synthesis of benzoic acid and benzoate derivatives. Unfortunately, the industrial synthesis of these compounds uses harmful heavy metal oxidants such as Chromium(VI) and Manganese(VII), which are very harmful to the environment. We proposed to eliminate these pollutants by using atmospheric oxygen and an organic catalyst in a solvent free reaction. This reaction would then be microwaved …


Bread Dough Experiment, Collin Stivala Jan 2020

Bread Dough Experiment, Collin Stivala

Student Research Poster Presentations 2020

This is my Final Poster for Design of Experiments. My poster explains the process and results of my experiment, in which I made bread dough, and tested the effects that Flour and Temperature have on bread dough.


Does Water Boil Faster With Salt?, Soumyadip Acharyya Jan 2020

Does Water Boil Faster With Salt?, Soumyadip Acharyya

Student Research Poster Presentations 2020

Whether water boils faster with salt is perhaps a never-ending question. My study has addressed this topic from a statistical perspective. Additionally, I have also investigated whether the water quantity affects the boiling time. I used the two-way Analysis of variance (ANOVA) to analyze and interpret the data.


Chemistry In Medicine, Olivia Visaggio, Alyssa Bondi, Matthew Gillingham, Hailey Loughlin Jan 2020

Chemistry In Medicine, Olivia Visaggio, Alyssa Bondi, Matthew Gillingham, Hailey Loughlin

Student Research Poster Presentations 2020

The chemistry behind medicine is important and necessary to study many different drugs and their effects. In this project, we focused on the chemical composition and mechanisms of various drugs. The drugs we focused on include Opioids, NSAIDs, and other medications, such as Benzodiazepines and antibiotics. For each drug, we provided its structure as well as the functional groups, which include a part of a molecule that is recognized based on its arrangement of atoms. Organic Chemistry provides individuals with an understanding of various organic compounds, and this field of study is important as it explains the ways in which …
