Evaluating Llm-Generated Personalized Text Content For Middle School Science Students, Michael Vaccaro Jr., Mikayla Friday, Arash Zaghi

Purdue AI in P-12 Education Conference

Generative artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) have proven to be disruptors in education due to their ability to produce human-like text, placing these models under heavy scrutiny. However, LLMs embody a diverse knowledge base and have been shown to be few-shot learners (Brown et al., 2020) that can quickly adapt their output in response to user-provided context. Together, these facets situate LLMs as powerful tools capable of developing personalized learning materials for K-12 students without the need for expansive training data. As this potential has yet to be evaluated in literature, this study aims to investigate the ability …

Tunable Blended Collagen I/Ii And Collagen I/Iii Hydrogels As Tissue Mimics, Paulina M. Babiak, Carly M. Battistoni, Leonard Cahya, Rithika Athreya, Jason Minnich Ii, Alyssa Panitch, Julie C. Liu

School of Chemical Engineering Faculty Publications

Collagen (Col) is commonly used as a natural biomaterial for biomedical applications. Although Col I is the most prevalent col type employed, many collagen types work together in vivo to confer function and biological activity. Thus, blending collagen types can better recapitulate many native environments. This work investigates how hydrogel properties can be tuned through blending collagen types (col I/II and col I/III) and by varying polymerization temperatures. Col I/II results in poorly developed fibril networks, which softened the gels, especially at lower polymerization temperatures. Conversely, col I/III hydrogels exhibit well-connected fibril networks with localized areas of fine fibrils and …

Transition Of Buoyancy-Driven Flow From An Axisymmetric To Non-Axisymmetric Vortex Inside An Evaporating Sessile Droplet, Jialing Yu, Zhenhai Pan, Justin A. Weibel

CTRC Research Publications

The internal flow within an evaporating sessile droplet has intriguing fluid mechanics important to various microfluidics applications. In the present study, a phenomenon is observed through numerical methods wherein the buoyancy-driven flow structure inside a droplet on a non-wetting substrate transitions from an axisymmetric toroidal vortex flow to a non-axisymmetric single vortex flow with increase in the substrate temperature. As the axisymmetric nature of the droplet flow field and evaporation characteristics are broken, the internal velocity accelerates significantly. The transition, which is attributed to a flow instability inside the droplet, is more prone to occur as the droplet volume or …
