Effectiveness Of The Guided Discovery Method In Teaching The Surface Area Of A Cylinder, Paul Ahortu

2026 Symposium

This study investigates the impact of the guided discovery instructional method on students’ understanding of the surface area of a cylinder. A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test design was conducted with 100 senior high school students in Cape Coast, Ghana, divided into experimental and comparison groups..

Results showed a substantial improvement in performance for students exposed to guided discovery, with mean scores increasing from 1.25 (pre-test) to 9.43 (post-test) and a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.70). Statistical analysis also revealed significant gender differences in achievement.

These findings indicate strong improvement following the guided discovery intervention and suggest its potential to enhance …

Data-Driven Framework For Assessing Wind Impacts On Approach Stability In Flight Training, Taeyun Yoo, João S. D. Garcia

BCAAS Annual Safety Research Symposium

Crosswind and gust conditions during approach and landing constitute significant challenges in flight training, with direct implications for performance and safety. Most flight schools establish crosswind training limits based on aircraft certification data and instructor judgment, resulting in go/no-go decisions relying on subjective risk assessment. This study empirically examines how varying crosswind and gust conditions affect operational decisions and landing performance. The research investigates the relationship between crosswind components and student pilot performance during the flight's final approach and landing phase, utilizing Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) trajectory data integrated with surface weather observations.

This analysis focuses on Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University …

Severe Thiopurine-Induced Myelosuppression In A Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patient With The Nudt15 *1/*6 Genotype, Jillian Fry, Erin C. Boone, Wendy Y. Wang, Shobana John, Lisa A. Lansdon, Midhat S. Farooqi, Byunggil Yoo, Andrea Gaedigk, Keith August, Terrie Flatt, Laura Ramsey

Research Showcase

Background: Variants in the TPMT and NUDT15 genes that affect thiopurine metabolism can guide personalized dosing to minimize toxicity. Decreased or no appreciable NUDT15 activity demonstrate impaired breakdown of active thiopurine metabolites which can lead to severe adverse events including potentially life-threatening myelosuppression. Currently, the NUDT15*6 allele is classified as having uncertain function by the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium due to insufficient data leading to indeterminate phenotype assignments.

Objectives/Goal: To describe the activity of the NUDT 15*6 allele.

Methods/Design: We present a pediatric patient with a NUDT15*1/*6 genotype who experienced significant thiopurine-induced myelosuppression. This patient was enrolled in the Children’s …

Intravenous Sotalol In Pediatric Intensive Care Patients With And Without Congenital Heart Disease: Hemodynamic Effects, Juan S. Farias, Emily R. Backes, Saul Flores, Rohit S. Loomba

Research Showcase

Background: Sotalol is an antiarrhythmic with both class II and III properties, available intravenously since 2015. While its use in adults is well-documented, there is limited pediatric data. It has been used in pediatric patients for various supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias. Although early reports suggest intravenous sotalol is safe and effective in children, available data remain limited.

Objectives/Goal: The primary purpose of this study is to characterize changes in hemodynamic parameters with the administration of intravenous sotalol.  Additional aims were also to determine how frequently arrhythmias terminated after the initial dose.

Methods/Design: This single-center retrospective study included pediatric patients under …
