Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Project VALHALLA (Vertical Air Lifted High Altitude Light Launch Apparatus) is a high altitude launch platform with the objective of providing a cost efficient option for collegiate rocket organizations to perform high altitude research.

This project primarily consists of a platform that will be lifted to 100,000 feet using several clusters of high altitude balloons that will be inflated using Helium. From 100,000 feet, the rocket will be launched and the platform will then descend to the ground by retrieving the helium and absorbing it back into storage tanks while pressurizing it.

Currently, the project is on phase two which …

Exploration of Transportation in Nordic Countries: Observations of Accessibility, Design, and Ease

Commuter satisfaction is an under-represented topic in transportation research. The purpose of this paper is to highlight applications of user-oriented design in Nordic countries that are used to improve commuter usability, satisfaction and safety. The researcher wanted to answer questions relating to what urban planning designs provide ease for those commuting in this region and to those that need extra assistance; and what is implemented to ensure safety for commuters. To answer these questions, an observational methodology was used to obtain and code data from imagery and notes …

Establishing A Presumption Of Competence In The Ela Classroom: One Teacher’S Story Of Creating Space For Autistic Culture, Christopher Bass

Ought: The Journal of Autistic Culture

Much has been written about the exclusive nature of inclusive teaching (Allan 2015; Owen & Gabriel, 2010; Smith 2010; Ware, 2004). Many general educators approach neurodiversity with a deficit approach (Smagorinsky, Tobin and Lee, 2019; Myers, 2019) As an active ELA teacher, I argue that teachers must first establish a presumption of competence (Biklen, 2005), then model and promote asset-based rhetoric around ability. Once students engage with asset-based rhetoric, the classroom may become more inclusive of autistic culture. This article shares the story of my attempt to establish a presumption of competence through student tattoos.

Truffaut’S L’Enfant Sauvage (The Wild Child, 1970): Evoking Autism And The Nascent “Eugenic Atlantic”, Joy C. Schaefer

Ought: The Journal of Autistic Culture

This essay analyzes François Truffaut’s L’Enfant sauvage (The Wild Child, 1970) as an early representation of autism that metaphorizes the neurodiverse child as the colonial subject. The film takes place in 1798, only a decade after the French Revolution, and depicts the true events of the “wild boy of Aveyron,” a feral child found in the Southern French forest when he was twelve years old. Before the film’s production, Truffaut—who also plays the boy’s teacher, Dr. Jean-Marc Itard—collected articles and books on autism and viewed videos of autistic children to create his main character’s behavioral patterns. The film …

Career Competencies: More Than Students, More Than Athletes, Melanie Canfield, Sydney Jones, Christian Pierre, Olivia Roa

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

The ability for student-athletes to translate athletic experiences into career competencies is valuable, but student-athletes may not know how to leverage the career competencies they have gained through sports participation. In addition, student-athlete’s time demands may limit access to career support services. This project summarizes the perceived career competencies of student-athletes at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). Embry-Riddle student-athletes compete in the Sunshine State Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Division II. Findings from one-on-one interviews with 16 current or past ERAU student-athletes led to the creation of an infographic, containing five word clouds. Among ERAU student-athletes, the word …

The Polar Cloud Satellite: The First Cubesat Mission To Study Noctilucent Clouds, Benjamin Banner, Ethan Deweese, Austin Gleydura, Christian Junio, Ryan Kressler, John Olafson, Michael Pope, Michael Weinhoffer, Timeo Williams

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Members of the Spaceflight Sciences, Policy, and Operations Club (SSPOC) are designing a 1U CubeSat, the Polar Cloud Satellite, that will host an ultraviolet instrument that will image noctilucent clouds. Noctilucent clouds, formally called polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs), are clouds made of ice particles and water vapor that form in the polar regions of the Earth at altitudes ranging from 76 to 85 kilometers. The formation of PMCs at much lower latitudes than usual since their discovery in the 1980s can possibly be linked to increased carbon dioxide output by humans. NASA’s Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) satellite …

How Vulnerable Are Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (Suas) To Cyber Attack?, Derian Bautista

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

The FAA predicts that there will be ~3.4M consumer drones and ~327K commercial sUAS (sUAS, or commonly known as drones) operating in the U.S. by 2020. Drones are increasingly used by law enforcement, emergency services, utility companies, large agricultural providers, and many other economic sectors. A drone’s components align closely with that of small computing devices, with the addition of aeronautical hardware. As such, they may be susceptible to the same forms of attacks that are increasingly common among computing devices.

To test this theory, we conducted a study to identify cyber-related vulnerabilities against a consumer model drone. We conducted …

Naomi Shihab Nye’S Sitti’S Secrets: Poetics Of Homeland, Lama Al-Mahadin

Al-Balqa Journal for Research and Studies البلقاء للبحوث والدراسات

Sitti’s Secrets (SS) was published in 1994, one year after the Oslo Accords, which saw the Palestinians sign peace agreements with Israel. The Accords, which led to the creation of the Palestinian Authority, an interim entity to govern the West Bank and Gaza, “promised much, though in reality delivered very little that was tangible” (Hastedt & Lybeck, 2014,p. 71). But Nye was writing at a time when the Accords still exercised a hold on the global imagination with the promise of lasting peace in the region. This paper seeks to examine the story as an affective articulation of Nye’s vision …

High Rate Quasi-Steady-State Pattern Visual Evoked Potentials For Brain-Computer Interface, Ibrahim Kaya

Open Access Dissertations

Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs) are electrophysiological signals recorded from occipital areas of the scalp in response to visual stimulation. VEPs are used for clinical monitoring of diseases and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). Depending on the stimulation rate, there are two types of VEPs, transient (low stimulation rates < 3Hz) and Steady-State (higher stimulation rates >5Hz). However, a novel VEP stimulation paradigm was developed at the University of Miami, Neurosensory Laboratory. This paradigm generates low jittered VEPs similar to Steady-State VEP (SSVEP) and called Quasi-Steady State VEPs (QSS-VEPs). QSS paradigm has proven itself in the fast acquisition of Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABRs) and Pattern Electroretinograms (PERGs). One major advantage …

Reduce Patient Falls At Skilled Nursing Facility, Jalpa Patel

DNP Qualifying Manuscripts

Falls and related injuries are becoming a massive concern for healthcare systems. Preventing falls should be the top priority for healthcare organizations. Since the risk of falling cannot be eliminated, implementing a plan that addresses fall prevention strategies can significantly reduce the number of falls. This article explores evidence-based practice (EBP) interventions in order to prevent elderly patient falls in a skilled nursing facility (SNF). The EBP research interventions, such as fall screening tools used for patient assessment, safety education classes for staff, bedside nursing communication exchange, and daily nursing leadership rounds, can have a vital effect on patient and …
