The Effect Of Secondary English Proficiency On The Reading Strategies Of International Students, Natasha Vega-Valbuena
The Effect Of Secondary English Proficiency On The Reading Strategies Of International Students, Natasha Vega-Valbuena
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Scholars have long established that all readers employ strategies to understand complex texts. The most effective readers read not just for content, but ask questions about why authors make the choices they do. These “rhetorical” readers ask not just “what?”, but why?”. Rhetorical reading strategies, as defined by Flower and Haas, are “active attempts at constructing a rhetorical context for a text as a way of making sense of it.” In other words, readers must not only interpret the words on the page based on their grasp of the English grammar and syntax, they must be able to imagine the …
The Potential Effects Of Various Concentrations Of Saccharin Compared To Sucralose, Stevia, Aspartame, Sugar, And A Typical Diet On Gene Expression In Yeast, Beric Berlioz
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Gene expression patterns present as a result of a typical yeast diet (YEPD), as well as table sugar (sucrose) and four sugar substitutes Splenda (sucralose-based), Truvia (stevia-based), Equal (aspartamebased), and Sweet N’ Low (saccharin-based) at varying concentrations (low, medium and high) were determined. The sugar and sugar substitutes were administered and examined at extremely high (340 tsp/100 pounds), typically high (34 tsp/100 pounds), and low (10 tsp/100 pounds) concentrations, according to recently published literature based on the diet of typical American teenagers. Experimental data in the 1970s demonstrated that saccharin had a link to bladder cancer in laboratory rats, making …
A B Cell Mediated Model Of Humoral Immune System Function, Abbiana Arenas
A B Cell Mediated Model Of Humoral Immune System Function, Abbiana Arenas
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Influenza claims hundreds of thousands of lives each year world wide. Unfortunately these numbers are relatively unchanged over the past few decades. Influenza vaccines work to prime the humoral immune response for subsequent challenges by the influenza virus. With this initial priming the humoral response will produce specific and highly effective antibodies for the given virus. While effective, the mechanisms of humoral memory formation and maintenance are relatively less explored than the cell mediated response. In primary infections, the innate response and CD8+ T-cells will often clear the bulk of the virus before the humoral response can produce a …
Applications Of Abstract Algebra To Puzzle Modeling, Sharvel Bousemaan
Applications Of Abstract Algebra To Puzzle Modeling, Sharvel Bousemaan
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Abstract Algebra is an area of mathematics which focuses on the properties of algebraic structures. One such structure, called a Group, has properties which are applicable to puzzle solving. We provide the fundamental properties of permutation groups and discuss certain theorems which enable one to model a variety of puzzles. In addition, we demonstrate how the computational algebra program, GAP can be utilized in order to work with the large permutation groups that describe very complex puzzles. Our goal is to use the mathematics underlying these puzzles in order to understand how they can be solved.
Barcoding Of The Cox-1 Region In Lagenidium Giganteum Dna, Joshua Mathews
Barcoding Of The Cox-1 Region In Lagenidium Giganteum Dna, Joshua Mathews
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The oomycete, Lagenidium giganteum, is a parasitic microbial pathogen that infects the larvae of mosquitos. Their presence can dramatically reduce the population of mosquitoes in a given area as the parasite reproduces quickly and kills many of the mosquitoes before they reach adulthood. The control of the population of mosquitoes is desirable considering the possible pathogens that the mosquitoes carry like West Nile Virus and Malaria which can infect humans and lead to death if untreated. The main purpose of this study is to barcode the Cytochrome c oxidase subunit1 (COX 1) region of the mitochondrial DNA in Lagenidium …

Evaluation Of Injury Risk In Collegiate Athletes Using The Function Movement Screenâ¢, Isaac Pardo, Lorena Platero
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Total scores of ≤14 on the Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS) have been associated with injury risk in firefighters, professional football players and female collegiate athletes. Seven movement patterns (e.g. squat, inline lunge, etc.) comprise the FMS, which are scored individually from 0 to 3, and added together for a total score. The purpose of this study was to examine injury risk in 4 groups of intercollegiate athletes, female rowers (ROW), female soccer (WSOC), male soccer (MSOC), and female volleyball players (VB) using total and individual test FMS scores. Samples of convenience were used; 27 ROW, 29 WSOC, 27 MSOC, 17 …

Exploring Mutagenic Effects Of Atmospheric Aerosol Components, Patrick Doty, Arti Patel, Divya Pandya
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Atmospheric aerosols play key roles in global climate, air quality and public health issues. In the latter case, it has been shown that aerosols may exacerbate pulmonary and cardiovascular symptoms or diseases, via pathways such as oxidative stress. However, neither the detailed aerosol composition nor how aerosols may generate certain biological responses, including human health risks, is fully understood. This study explores how several important organic aerosol components such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) may generate mutagenic effects in Escherichia coli, using a standard mutagenicity assay. Variables such as the PAH type and temperature are tested and preliminary results will be …

Feminist Activism: Using Technology To Raise Awareness About Domestic Violence, Nadine Grifoni, Morgan Sanchez
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Our project will visually represent a community-based study we conducted on domestic violence and its relationship to college students. In this poster presentation, we will assess the relationships between sites of activism for college students, as well as the effectiveness of community resources for survivors of dating and domestic violence. We will reflect on two parts of our research: firsthand experience at a College Bride’s Walk (a community-based initiative to create solidarity amongst neighboring university institutions) and interviews with domestic violence survivors at a local domestic violence shelter.
Our purpose will be to use our primary research to engage in …
Individual Fms⢠Tests Differ Between Collegiate Women Rowers And Soccer Players Despite Similar Total Scores, Lorena Platero, Isaac Pardo
Individual Fms⢠Tests Differ Between Collegiate Women Rowers And Soccer Players Despite Similar Total Scores, Lorena Platero, Isaac Pardo
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Total scores of < 14 on the Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS) have been associated with injury risk in athletes and healthy adults. The 7 individual tests compromising the FMS (deep squat, inline lunge, hurdle step, shoulder mobility, trunk stability push-up, active straight leg raise, and rotary stability) are scored from 0 to 3, and provide information on movement pattern performance that can be use to program corrective exercises. The purpose of the study was to examine total and individual test scores between intercollegiate rowers (ROW) and soccer players (SOC). Samples of convenience were utilized; 56 female participants (27 ROW, 29 SOC), aged 17-22, with no recent history of musculoskeletal injury performed the FMS according to protocol. An independent T-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to examine mean differences in total and individual scores, respectively. Mean total FMS scores were 15.86±2.07 and 15.83±1.91 for the ROW and SOC, respectively. 7 ROW (26%) and 9 SOC (31%) had total scores of ≤ 14. Scores were similar, p≥.05, for all 7 individual tests except rotary instability (ROW 2.33±0.48; SOC 2.10±0.31; p=0.38). We conclude that ROW and SOC performed similarly on the FMS™. However, more individual SOC were at risk for injury and scored lower on the rotary instability test indicating more a deeper dysfunction in reflex stabilization of the core musculature.
Increasing Crop Yield By Stimulating Bacterial Respiration With Agricom, An Agricultural Stimulant, Noemi Bermudez, Faria Fatmi
Increasing Crop Yield By Stimulating Bacterial Respiration With Agricom, An Agricultural Stimulant, Noemi Bermudez, Faria Fatmi
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Nitrogen fixation is an essential process by which plants take in nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it into usable inorganic nutrients. More than ninety-percent of all nitrogen fixation is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria; therefore, it is hypothesized that increasing the growth of N2 fixing bacteria will ultimately increase the rate of plant development. The purpose of the first part of the experiment was to determine the appropriate concentrations of the active ingredients that constitute the proprietary, commercial growth stimulant (Agricom) that optimized bacterial respiration. A respirometer was utilized to measure bacterial respiration, which indicates levels of bacterial …
Individual Differences In Working Memory Capacity And Eyewitness Identification, Rachel Berger
Individual Differences In Working Memory Capacity And Eyewitness Identification, Rachel Berger
Undergraduate Student Symposium
A number of studies have examined the association between individual differences in working memory capacity and the production of false memories. However, the relationship between individual differences in working memory capacity and the ability to accurately identify a perpetrator out of a lineup has never been studied. The current study measures participants’ working memory capacity, sustained attention, and speed of processing in order to determine if it has an effect on people’s ability to identify a man out of a lineup. In the study, participants are placed in either a “warning” or “no warning” condition before watching a short video. …
Nh-Tautomerism In Para-Substituted Tetraphenylporphyrin Derivatives, Biana Modilevsky
Nh-Tautomerism In Para-Substituted Tetraphenylporphyrin Derivatives, Biana Modilevsky
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The NH–tautomerism of meso–substituted porphyrins has been reported to decrease with porphyrin distortion by enhancing intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the NH protons. Electron withdrawing groups should deshield the internal hydrogen’s shifting the NH chemical shift spectra further up field by affecting the ring current, and the opposite effect is expected for electron donating substituents at the meso position of the porphyrin core. The effect of several substituents in the para positions of the phenyl group of meso–substituted porphyrins would be correlated to the NH–tautomerism in phenyl– substituted porphyrins.

New Findings And Characterizations Of Nbaii Complex May Hold Key To Drug Delivery, Nishant Patel, Kevin Shah
Undergraduate Student Symposium
NBAii crystal complexes have been extensively studied and modified with the hopes of implementing them in the real world for extraordinary uses in the medical, optical, and electrical field. Our recent findings have demonstrated that the NBAii crystal not only has a porous configuration for retaining compounds within the dimerized structure but also to evacuate the compound with a given environmental cue. Through the university’s newly acquired thermogravometric analysis instrumentation, GC Mass-Spec as well as X-Ray crystallography we are further able to define and characterized the NBAii compound as well as sub compounds which can be made from similar NBAii …
The Effects Of Enriched Environments On Learning And Neurogenesis In Octopus Vulgaris, Jelileh Whitmore, Kory Evans, Divya Pandya
The Effects Of Enriched Environments On Learning And Neurogenesis In Octopus Vulgaris, Jelileh Whitmore, Kory Evans, Divya Pandya
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Cephalopods, particularly the octopus, have the largest and most complex invertebrate brains and are show markers of behavioral complexity. However, learning and possible concomitant neurogenesis have never been fully described in the octopus. In order to address this need, we will expose octopus vulgaris to an enriched environment and test for behavioral learning and neurogenesis. Specifically, octopuses will be placed in either an enriched or standard environment control condition and exposed to various problem-solving tasks and time trials over the course of 30 days. At the conclusion of the tasks, octopus vulgaris will be presented with a series of novel …
The Importance Of Neurolysin In The Renin-Angiotensin System Of The Mouse Brain, Eduardo Carrera, Catalina Breton, Andrea Linares
The Importance Of Neurolysin In The Renin-Angiotensin System Of The Mouse Brain, Eduardo Carrera, Catalina Breton, Andrea Linares
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) plays a major role in cardiovascular disease. Novel metabolic pathways of the RAS offer new therapeutic targets for disease prevention. Recent studies demonstrated a novel binding site for the active hormone of the RAS: angiotensin II (Ang II). This binding site, now known to be the enzyme neurolysin, can metabolize Ang II into inactive fragments and act upon a precursor of Ang II (Ang I) to circumvent Ang II production. Radioligand binding and histological techniques were utilized to assay neurolysin and the primary receptors for Ang II (AT1, and AT2) in …

Anticancer Effects Of Pumpkin Seed Extracts On Lncap Prostate Cancer Cell Line, Rajeswari Murugan, Jackie Lynne Jornadal, Yanira Quinonez
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Clinical research has shown that Pumpkin seed (PS) is effective in treating various conditions including benign prostatic hyperplasia, inflammatory prostatitis, and prostatic secretion. However, there is insufficient scientific data available regarding the cytotoxic effects of PS on prostate cancer cells. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of both aqueous and alcohol extracts of PS on the LNCaP prostate cancer cell line and elucidate the possible mechanisms involved in mediating these effects. During the study, LNCaP cells were treated separately with aqueous and ethanolic extracts of PS (50-200 μg/ml concentrations). After 24 hours of treatment, …

Never A Yellow Bird, Always A Blue Bird: Ethnodrama Of A Latina Learner’S Educational Experiences In 1950 - 60s South Texas, Norman Gillen, Kakali Bhattacharya
Never A Yellow Bird, Always A Blue Bird: Ethnodrama Of A Latina Learner’S Educational Experiences In 1950 - 60s South Texas, Norman Gillen, Kakali Bhattacharya
The Qualitative Report
This article is a response to calls for more first - person accounts from researchers using narrative formats to interpret data. The authors examine the practice of ethnodrama as a means of exploring and analyzing the experiences of a Latina public - school student in a small South Texas coastal town during the 1950s and 1960s as she attempted to negotiate multiple ethnic spaces while resisting traditional behavioral expectations representative of that period. Through coding and synthesizing the participant’s responses, the researchers established theme s on which to base the composition of three dramatic scenes for purposes of data representation. …
Cellular Life Beyond An Individual’S Death, Emily Schmitt
Cellular Life Beyond An Individual’S Death, Emily Schmitt
CAHSS Intellectual Conversations
One of the most famous examples of cell lines surviving long after a person has died comes from a tumor found in the body of Henrietta Lacks, who died of cervical cancer in 1950. The study of approximately 50 million tons of her cells, which would conservatively equal the amount of cells in one billion people, has resulted in nearly 11,000 patents, including the polio vaccine. These cells have become a focus of public attention since Rebecca Skloot’s 2010 book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. This talk will discuss what happens to cells once they leave our bodies, …
