Autokinetics: A Group Intervention To Mitigate At-Risk Behaviors In Adolescents, Christine Abrahams
Autokinetics: A Group Intervention To Mitigate At-Risk Behaviors In Adolescents, Christine Abrahams
Theses and Dissertations
This study explores whether introducing autokinetics (self-movement) to at-risk sophomore and junior high school students would increase their self-concept, school connectedness, perception of their academic performance, and GPA. In this study, at-risk' students are defined as students who have possible drug and alcohol problems, come from single parent households, have social issues at school, and/or come from difficult family situations. The research was conducted in small groups of eight to ten students over a six-month period. The two experimental and two control groups were randomly selected. All four groups attended a forty-minute weekly group session while autokinesis was used only …

An Effective Pedagogical Approach To Understanding Qualitative And Quantitative Organic Chemistry By Using A Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer, Sagir Patel
Undergraduate Student Symposium
One main objective of organic chemistry courses is to show students how much of a desired organic product is synthesized in the reaction mixture. Here, we report how a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) instrument can be applied to a set of common organic chemistry experiments for identifying the main product, any minor product(s) and quantifying the product yield. GC-MS is a powerful analytical instrumentation tool capable of detecting, identifying and quantifying many volatile organic compounds. The GC-MS technique is routinely used in chemistry research and manufacturing laboratories. Despite its wide application in organic chemistry and ease of use, many colleges …
Analyzing Hotel Room Cleanliness On A Microscopic Level, Ahmad Khalid, Kodi Stevens
Analyzing Hotel Room Cleanliness On A Microscopic Level, Ahmad Khalid, Kodi Stevens
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The cost of a hotel room is usually correlated to the quality of the hotel room and the quality of services provided during one’s stay; e.g. the cleanliness of the room and the thoroughness of the cleaning staff. The cleaner a hotel is the more desirable it is. The goal of this experiment was to analyze hotel cleanliness at the microscopic level to determine if pathogenic micro-organisms were present. Samples were taken from telephones, toilet seats, remotes, toilet flushers, bath tubs and doorknobs from five different hotels and grown at room temperature on nutrient agar plates, counted and then isolated. …

A Final Truth: Based On The True Story Of A College Student Diagnosed With Hiv/Aids, Uyen-Linh Jackie Dao
Undergraduate Student Symposium
“A Final Truth: Based on the True Story of a College Student Diagnosed with HIV/AIDS” is a short film about a student living with HIV/AIDS. It is a dramatic retelling of a true story. The film touches on the social stigma of a person living with the disease, and the implications that the disease can have on friendship, sexual health, and college life. This story is told through the perspectives of a close group of college friends. One of the friends is living with HIV/AIDS and is unable to tell her friends in fear of rejection and judgment by her …
The Effect Of Thimerosal-Containing And Thimerosal-Free Pediatric Flu Vaccine On Gene Expression In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Christie Rubio
The Effect Of Thimerosal-Containing And Thimerosal-Free Pediatric Flu Vaccine On Gene Expression In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Christie Rubio
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Mercury-based preservatives including thimerosal, typically added to some vaccines, may pose health concerns as mercury toxicity has been implicated in many human diseases. In this study, microarray technology and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to examine the potential effects of a typical dose of thimerosal-containing vaccine (TCV) or thimerosal-free (TFV) pediatric flu vaccine on gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a model organism that shares roughly 30% of its genome with humans. Yeast were grown in three treatments: standard media (YEPD), YEPD plus TCV, and YEPD plus TFV. Microarray gene expression data were examined for variability both within …
The Effects Of Categorization On Memory, Logan Armstrong
The Effects Of Categorization On Memory, Logan Armstrong
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of categorization on our ability to remember events and objects. This is an important question because little research has tested the notion that the ability to categorize helps produce better memory. Morris & Baker-Ward (2007) studied a similar question when they examined whether having the vocabulary to describe an experience affected the ability to remember that experience. Specifically, they tested whether infants who had learned their colors prior to participating in an experiment involving different colored bubbles would recall the experiment better than those who learned the colors after the …
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 …
On Parmenides’ Reality, Nathaniel Dolan
On Parmenides’ Reality, Nathaniel Dolan
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The treatment being submitted here for the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Student Symposium began quite simply in the form of a journal entry submitted as one of the required elements of Dr. Toscano’s Introduction to Philosophy (PHIL 1010) in the 2010 fall term. The professor’s review and critique of that original work (which was comparably brief compared to this final edition) produced remarks from Dr. Toscano that motivated me to reevaluate my own interpretations of the proposition on Reality put forth by Parmenides of Elea in the fifth century BCE. Having studied philosophy as a personal interest …
More Than Just A Memory, Sebastian Acosta-Nijamkin
More Than Just A Memory, Sebastian Acosta-Nijamkin
Undergraduate Student Symposium
“More than just a memory” is a film about love and friendship. Ethan is confronted with a tough decision: whether to tell the girl he loves how he really feels, or whether to accept the fact that she loves someone else and that Ethan will only be a friend in her eyes. Throughout the film, Ethan is driving in a car, and flashbacks of the night where he chose to be just a friend keep entering his mind. That night he made a choice -- a choice that would change his life forever. The film is directed by Sebastian Acosta-Nijamkin.
Transcriptome Analysis Of Lagenidium Giganteum, Jennifer L. Grant
Transcriptome Analysis Of Lagenidium Giganteum, Jennifer L. Grant
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Mosquitoes are carriers of numerous diseases for instance, malaria and west-Nile virus. Lagenidium giganteum is a parasitic organism during larval stage that infects and kills mosquitoes. In time, this could be proven to be useful in bioengineering to create an environmentally safe insecticide. Molecular research was performed in order to determine the imperative genes in Lagenidium giganteum that hinder the development in mosquito larvae. A culture of Lagenidium giganteum was used to extract RNA and initiate a transcriptome analysis. Large scale sequencing led to the annotation of 20,000 transcripts. PCR amplification was performed using a Qiagen PCR kit in order …
Cognitive Inhibition In Bilinguals Vs. Monolinguals, Juliana Acosta, Raquel Chocron, Jacqueline Pablos
Cognitive Inhibition In Bilinguals Vs. Monolinguals, Juliana Acosta, Raquel Chocron, Jacqueline Pablos
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Bilingualism has been linked to enhanced cognitive abilities and these enhanced abilities are believed to be mediated by the same frontal lobe system that controls language output in bilinguals. Moreover, recent research suggests that this bilingual advantage may be moderated by degree of balance between the two languages such that those who are equally proficient in their two languages show the best performance on cognitive tasks compared to unbalanced bilinguals and monolinguals. For instance, results from one study revealed that balanced bilinguals showed significantly fewer errors on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) than unbalanced bilinguals. Thus, the purpose of …

Budding Brain, Kurshaad Cheenibas, Smit Patel, Adam Adbulhafid, Patrick Cao
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Mathematics is used to illuminate the world around us by describing what we see through various models. Models can range from simple linear models of gravity and line weaver Burk to complex models such as models of storms. Simple models are easy to use but lack the accuracy in prediction that more complex model provide. The difference between this dynamic model and statistical model are descriptive while dynamic model are predictive. Descriptive model make sense of data and predictive model use the data you have to make prediction. This research seeks to uncover cross disciplinary nature of dynamic model and …
A Regression Study Of The Relation Between Rocks And Fish Assemblages, Kaitlyn Brucker
A Regression Study Of The Relation Between Rocks And Fish Assemblages, Kaitlyn Brucker
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The objective of this study is to see if the amount of rock in a given transect is related to the fish that inhabited the area. A regression analysis is conducted to find the relation between the two variables, rocks and fish. Besides finding the model, the analysis includes the confidence interval for the coefficient s, residual plots, predicted intervals of the number of fish for selected values of the amount of the rock, and identifying outliers and influential points by looking at various statistics, such as RESIDUAL, STUDENTIZED RESIDUALS, COVRATIO, and DFFITS.
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 …
Adhesion Of Transferrin To Tisifilcon A Contact Lenses, Darshan Solanki, Stephanie Brinon
Adhesion Of Transferrin To Tisifilcon A Contact Lenses, Darshan Solanki, Stephanie Brinon
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Tear proteins are known to deposit differently on contact lenses of different materials, causing lens wearer comfort to be compromised. We examined the adhesion of transferrin to contact lenses made of tisifilcon A, a rigid gas-permeable silicone hydrogel (FDA Group III). Lenses were incubated 2.0 mg/ml solutions of human holo-transferrin for 1, 2, 3, and 4 days, and protein adhesion was determined by bicinchoninic acid assay. Transferrin adhesion increased from day 0 to day 3 and then dropped after days 4 and 5. This pattern resembled transferrin adhesion to lenses made of polymacon (FDA Group I), alphafilcon (FDA Group …

Tmnt: Dynamic Models Of Cancer And Hiv, Christina Gobin, Emily Nguyen, Fayssa Salomon, Arash Nasajpour
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Differential equations are used to build dynamic mathematical models for systems and nonlinear phenomena, which dynamically change with time. Ordinary differential equations describe a relation that contains functions of only one independent variable, and one or more of their derivatives with respect to that variable. Applications of those models are found in biological systems. In one study, homogeneous mathematical models are used to describe the interactions between cancerous cells and the immune system. Modeling using differential equations will allow better understanding of the behavior and spreading of those malignant cells. The models will investigate the dynamics of populations of cancer …
The Impact Of Psychological Stress On An Acute Stress Challenge: An Investigation Into Biochemical, Social And Personality Correlates, Tatiana Viena, Isabelle Barbu
The Impact Of Psychological Stress On An Acute Stress Challenge: An Investigation Into Biochemical, Social And Personality Correlates, Tatiana Viena, Isabelle Barbu
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Stress exposure activates a variety of physiological coping systems. While acute stress responses are considered important for healthy coping, overexposure to stress results in an alteration of the functioning of the stress (HPA) axis, leading to a variety of deleterious psychological and physiological effects. For that reason, understanding and explaining these mechanisms is essential. Here, we sought to determine whether chronic psychological (examination) stress would result in a decreased ability to mount an acute stress and immune response. We also assessed locus of control and social support measures. Thirty subjects participated in 2 sessions (baseline and examination week) in which …
The Effects Of Traditional Weight Training Versus Crossfit On Various Measures Of Physical Performance: A Case Report In A 25 Year Old Healthy And Fit Female, Inna Dumova
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The purpose of this case study was to determine the effects of the CrossFit Workout versus Traditional Weight Training on various performance indices. During the 4-week experimental periods for each of the workouts, the subject consumed a standard Mediterranean diet. Each workout was conducted 3 times per week during those 4 weeks. No pre-workout stimulants were used in either of the workout regimens. Tests were done at the end of the experimental periods to determine the effects each workout had on strength and performance, which were compared to the pre-workout “control” data. Significant changes were found in the vertical jump …
The Effects Of Sugar Substitutes On Gene Expression In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Hannah Bromberg
The Effects Of Sugar Substitutes On Gene Expression In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Hannah Bromberg
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Sugar substitutes are marketed as being healthier than sucrose (table sugar). Within this experiment, information about how table sugar and three different sugar substitutes, Splenda (sucralose-based), Truvia (stevia-based), and Equal (aspartame-based), affect gene expression in yeast was examined. Since the genomes of yeast and humans are approximately 30% similar, the specific genes selected for analysis in yeast overlapped with genes that are expressed in humans. Thus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker’s yeast) was used as a model eukaryotic organism in order to examine the effects of sugar substitute exposure on gene expression. The yeast was grown under four different conditions: 1) A …
The Effect Of Water Temperature On Florida Manatee (Trichechus Manatus Latirostris) Abundance In Port Everglades, Brittany Lape
The Effect Of Water Temperature On Florida Manatee (Trichechus Manatus Latirostris) Abundance In Port Everglades, Brittany Lape
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Port Everglades, located near Nova Southeastern University’s Oceanographic Center, is a wintering area for the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris), because it is a warm-water habitat. This study used data that were collected on trips through the Port, which was then examined with the following criteria for comparison: past water temperature versus current water temperature, past surveyed manatee numbers versus current manatees surveyed, and water temperature versus manatees surveyed. These comparisons were examined to illustrate any climate change trends that have occurred, as well as how those have affected the manatees in Port Everglades. These data were then …
The Effectiveness Of Various Pesticides On Aphid Infestations, Saamia Shaikh, Darshan Solanki
The Effectiveness Of Various Pesticides On Aphid Infestations, Saamia Shaikh, Darshan Solanki
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The main goal of this research was to examine the effectiveness of various pesticides on aphid infestations found on landscape and garden plants. Aphids, also known as plant lice, are small (~5 mm) sap-sucking insects in family Aphidoidea commonly observed in home landscapes and gardens, as well as in many agricultural areas. They are some of the most destructive insects on cultivated plants and control of these pests usually requires pesticide treatments. The three most common types are organic, synthetic, and soap pesticides. We chose three commonly sold varieties at a local home improvement warehouse to use for during this …

Standardization Of A Technique For Quantification Of Glutathione Concentration In Human White Blood Cells: A Biomarker For Autism?, Luis Puchi, Reina Miranda
Standardization Of A Technique For Quantification Of Glutathione Concentration In Human White Blood Cells: A Biomarker For Autism?, Luis Puchi, Reina Miranda
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Glutathione is an unusual tripeptide ubiquitous in scientific literature for its antioxidant capacity and its relevance as an indicator of oxidative stress. Glutathione’s role within cellular homeostasis is well documented, but the entirety of glutathione’s biochemical role within the human body remains fervently researched. Deficiencies in glutathione have been linked to patients suffering from a wide spectrum of disorders including, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and autism (Pastore, Federici, Bertini, & Piemonte, 2003). Much of the research on glutathione centers on the relationship between the reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) versions of the tripeptide. Fluctuations which lower the ratio of GSH to …
