Dipole Moment Of Ni(Ii), Cu(Ii), And Zn(Ii) Porphyrins And Out Of Plane Distortions Quantified By Semiempirical Methods And Compared To Thin Layer Chromatography, Dean Kalam
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The objective of this experiment was to calculate the dipole moment of Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) porphyrins and relate the measurements to the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) experimental results. Tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and Octaethylporphyrin (OEP) were metallated with these transition metals (Ni(II) d8, Cu(II) d9, and Zn(II) d10). The results of the TLC were then futher compared to the dipole moment from calculations obtained using semi-empirical methods. It is known that different transition metals can expand or contact the core of these porphyrins due to electronic effects as well as size. The TPP series follows …

Artscience: A Study Of The Human Arterial And Venous Systems, Nergess Taheri
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Artscience is a blending of both aesthetic and scientific methods. This project combines both in a way that neither can be distinguished from the other. This is a study of the human arterial and venous systems. These systems were artistically represented as linoleum block prints. Two models were produced, one for the arterial system and the other for the venous system. The process used to make the models is called printmaking. Printmaking was one of the first forms of mass illustration with each print being considered an original. In this study two linoleum blocks were carved into the desired anatomical …

The Impact Of Speed Reading On The Generation Of Inferences, Anil Sawh
The Impact Of Speed Reading On The Generation Of Inferences, Anil Sawh
Undergraduate Student Symposium
This experiment explores the effect that speed-reading has on the inferences made while reading texts. More specifically it will compare comprehension and inferences made between participants that read at a normal rate and participants that have been trained to read at a faster rate than normal. Speed-reading courses promise the ability to learn how to take in larger amounts of text and information than normal reading. However, most research has shown that while these courses increase reading speed, comprehension and retention of the material suffers a significant drop (Just, Carpenter, & Masson, 1986). Very little research has examined the effects …
The Distribution Of Two Sea Pens (Pennatulidae) In The Sw Gulf Of California, Mexico With Reference To Predation, Angelica M. Garcia
The Distribution Of Two Sea Pens (Pennatulidae) In The Sw Gulf Of California, Mexico With Reference To Predation, Angelica M. Garcia
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Sea pens (Pennatulidae) are sessile, benthic cnidarians that inhabit soft sediment, and rely on filter feeding to obtain energy. They have a central stalk (rachis) which contains secondary polyps for feeding. Since no previous data has been collected on their distribution, abundance or size in the SW Gulf of California, Mexico, benthic surveys were conducted at depths of 11.0 - 32.6 m near Isla San Fransiscito and El Pardito. Two species (Stylatula elongata and Ptilosarcus undulatus) were observed. The average height ± s.d. (tip to sediment surface) of S. elongata was 9.5 ± 3.8 cm (n=37) and was …
Chemical Interactions Between Staphylococcus Aureus And Candida Albicans Within Mixed Species Biofilms, Rachel Comito, Fiorella Diaz, Martin Herrera, Ariel Jordan
Chemical Interactions Between Staphylococcus Aureus And Candida Albicans Within Mixed Species Biofilms, Rachel Comito, Fiorella Diaz, Martin Herrera, Ariel Jordan
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Biofilms are communities of microbes that grow and function together in order to gain protection from environmental stressors. Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans are two of the most common microbes found to grow as biofilms within medical facilities and are among the leading causes of infectious disease. Previous studies found that S. aureus and C. albicans grow together synergistically within biofilms and that S. aureus actually secretes some chemical that drastically improves candidal biofilm growth. The current project is focused on better characterizing the mechanism of this chemical interaction. One aspect of the project examines when S. aureus secretes this …

A Tale Of African Dust: Cross-Oceanic Transport And Climatic Impact, Calista Ming
A Tale Of African Dust: Cross-Oceanic Transport And Climatic Impact, Calista Ming
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Aerosols are believed to partially counteract greenhouse warming effects and can also cause harm to human health, although the detailed mechanisms are not fully understood. A major reason for this is the lack of knowledge of the composition, origin and evolution of these aerosols. In order to better understand these issues, field research was carried out at Ragged Point, Barbados, during the summer of 2010. The sampling site is the eastern most point in the Caribbean region and the first land contact for dust aerosols that originate in Africa and travel transatlantic to the Caribbean and Floridian regions. Aerosol samples …
The Study Of Lagenidium Giganteum Crinkler Genes, Alexa Vyain, Tulsi Patel
The Study Of Lagenidium Giganteum Crinkler Genes, Alexa Vyain, Tulsi Patel
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Lagenidium giganteum is an entomopathogenic oomycete that is known to infect and kill the larvae of mosquitoes. Due to this characteristic, the organism has been deemed a potential alternative to chemical insecticides. This information is significant when the world issue of mosquito control is considered. The human death toll now reaches one million per year by mosquito-borne diseases, and the research on potential alternatives to chemical insecticides is quite minimal. Only seven L. giganteum protein-coding gene sequences have been reported to date, and the objective of this project is to accelerate the gene research of L. giganteum and identify the …
Carpentier’S Version Of Time: Back To The Ending, Genevieve Macaisa
Carpentier’S Version Of Time: Back To The Ending, Genevieve Macaisa
Undergraduate Student Symposium
In Alejo Carpentier’s short story “Journey Back to the Source,” he used a nonlinear narrative and manipulated temporal elements to challenge the traditional view of the passage of time. Through his experimentation, he developed a new form of the narrative timeline. Carpentier’s work demonstrates that time can move in reverse, from the end to the beginning, while still moving forward. The theories of Sergei Eisenstein and Henri Bergson influenced Carpentier’s experiment and reveal the magnitude of his pushing of the boundaries. For instance, Carpentier employs a narrative strategy like Eisenstein’s cinematic montage to stitch together a timeline. Bergson’s theories of …

A Cardiac Arrhythmogenesis Model: Spiraling Out Of Control, Rajeswari Murugan
A Cardiac Arrhythmogenesis Model: Spiraling Out Of Control, Rajeswari Murugan
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Arrhythmic Sudden Cardiac death accounts for up to 5 million cases per year across the world. Cardiac arrhythmia is an abnormal activity in the heart that can lead to sudden cardiac death resulting from ventricular fibrillation. The electrocardiogram (ECG) reading during an arrhythmia indicates rapid contractions of the heart. This phenomenon is due to the development of a re-entrant circuit of electrical activity that repetitively stimulates the heart. The heart presents a spatio-temporal complex system, where the tissue biophysics and structure leads to reaction diffusion type models. These models portray the re-entrant wave patterns observed during arrhythmia. Fibrillation is characterized …
The Language Of Mathematics: Proof Without Words, Bryan Candela
The Language Of Mathematics: Proof Without Words, Bryan Candela
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Mathematics is the language of the sciences. Unlike most other scientific laws, mathematical laws are by nature unbiased and irrefutable, and as such, tend to be accepted as truth in a way that other scientific laws cannot. While understanding the proofs of many well-known mathematical facts requires a high level of mathematical maturity, there are also many (perhaps not so intuitive) facts whose proof can be easily understood by anyone. The goal of this project is to show the use of mathematics as a language in the hope of providing insight into the beauty of mathematics.

Providing Attorneys For Children In Dependency And Termination Of Parental Rights Proceedings In Florida: The Issue Updated, Michael J. Dale
Faculty Scholarship
Florida's system for providing protection and safety to children in the State's child welfare system has changed over the past decade. Regretfully, the changes do not appear to have had a significant impact in two areas: increasing the safety and protection of children in the system' and providing children with independent attorneys to advocate on their behalf. Investigations, lawsuits, grand juries, amendments to court rules, and newspaper articles continue to demonstrate the myriad failures in the Florida system. Two notorious examples hi-lite the shortcomings: the cases of the foster child, Rilya Wilson, who disappeared in 2001, and Gabriel Myers, who …
