Timing Movement Of Water Through The Biosphere 2 Rainforest Using Deuterium As An Isotopic Tracer, Katie Almeda, Joost Van Haren, Till Volkmann Jan 2016

Timing Movement Of Water Through The Biosphere 2 Rainforest Using Deuterium As An Isotopic Tracer, Katie Almeda, Joost Van Haren, Till Volkmann

STAR Program Research Presentations

Rain forest ecosystems play an important role in global functions such as being home to half of the species of plants and animals on the planet, acting as a carbon sink, and moving water from the ground back into the atmosphere. In the Amazon, approximately 50 to 80% of moisture produced remains in the ecosystem’s water cycle. As a result of deforestation and rising global temperatures, less moisture can be moved back into the atmosphere. The objective of this study was to trace how water moves through a rain forest system in order to gain insight on how different species …

Understanding Molecular Bonding In Vitamin B12 Using X-Ray Spectroscopy, Jamie N. Lehnen Jan 2016

Understanding Molecular Bonding In Vitamin B12 Using X-Ray Spectroscopy, Jamie N. Lehnen

STAR Program Research Presentations

It is often difficult to accurately describe the electronic configuration of large molecules like cobalamin (Vitamin B12). By defining the electronic and geometric structure of a molecule using X-ray spectroscopy, we can better understand how that molecule behaves. Cobalamin is a molecule of interest because it typically displays dehalogenating properties in the body. By understanding more of how cobalamin analogues operate, it becomes possible to know their chemical properties and reactions.

The Effects Of Rain On Elemental Transport In Soils, Laura Schoenfeld Jan 2016

The Effects Of Rain On Elemental Transport In Soils, Laura Schoenfeld

STAR Program Research Presentations

Mini Landscape Evolution Observatory (miniLEO) is a model landscape slope composed of granular basalt used to conduct small scale experiments to more clearly understand how elemental transport occurs during simulated rain events. For this experiment, rain events occurred three times a day in two hour increments at a rate of 30 mm/hr for 14 days to determine if exchangeable ions and target elements dissolve over time. An auto sampler collected the waterseepage every half hour at the bottom of the slope of miniLEO. Each seepage sample was tested or the amount of elements present in solution using ion chromatography and …

Enhancing The Effectiveness Of The Telescope Assembly Alignment Simulator, Alex T. Quyenvo, Zoe Sharp, Jennifer Briggs Jan 2016

Enhancing The Effectiveness Of The Telescope Assembly Alignment Simulator, Alex T. Quyenvo, Zoe Sharp, Jennifer Briggs

STAR Program Research Presentations

SOFIA - Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy is a 747sp Boeing aircraft modified to carry a 2.7m telescope. This unique aircraft uses infrared light to study the hidden universe, create a greater understanding of local galaxies and observe the past of our universe. To enhance the effectiveness of the telescope on SOFIA, a baseline of an ideal science instrument needs to be established in a lab setting to help reduce time and make things more efficient when SOFIA is flying. This baseline can be done using the TAAS – Telescope Assembly Alignment Simulator, an instrument that simulates the telescope on …

Probing The Transport Properties Of Chemically-Doped Single-Walled Carbon Nantotube Polymer Composites, Tammy Pheuphong, Tamara El-Hayek, Jeffrey Blackburn, Andrew Ferguson Jan 2016

Probing The Transport Properties Of Chemically-Doped Single-Walled Carbon Nantotube Polymer Composites, Tammy Pheuphong, Tamara El-Hayek, Jeffrey Blackburn, Andrew Ferguson

STAR Program Research Presentations

Thermoelectric (TE) materials are used to convert waste heat into electrical power. Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNT) have great potential to be used in thermoelectric devices, either on their own or in composites with conducting polymers. Certain polymers can selectively extract s-SWCNT from raw carbon nanotube soot (containing impurities such as metallic SWCNT, amorphous carbon, metal catalysts particles), but most of these polymers (e.g. polyfluorenes) are electrical insulators, rendering them inefficient in TE nanocomposites. On the other hand, conducting polymers, such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), have been used in efficient TE nanocomposites, but have never been rationally designed with …

Analysis Of The Precipitation Detection Algorithm For The Geonor T-200b Precipitation Gauge To Improve Accuracy, Megan Lerman, Robert K. Goodrich Jan 2016

Analysis Of The Precipitation Detection Algorithm For The Geonor T-200b Precipitation Gauge To Improve Accuracy, Megan Lerman, Robert K. Goodrich

STAR Program Research Presentations

In an effort to improve the precipitation detection algorithm for the Geonor All Weather Precipitation Gauge, an automated truth algorithm has been created to detect errors in the original algorithm. The original algorithm detects precipitation in real time and uses the rate of precipitation to indicate an event. The automated truth does not detect in real time, and focuses on precipitation accumulation to indicate an event. Since the automated truth is delayed, it is able to consider the data collected before and after the point it is analyzing. The automated truth is already more accurate than the original algorithm but …

Languages, Literatures & Cultures

Felipe Cussen was in trouble. He needed help to correct a poem. He sent some friends and acquaintances a desperate call. The three volumes of Correcciones are the result. Volume I collates the Spanish-language responses. Volume II collates the English-language responses. Volume III collates the visual responses. Scott Weintraubs response is found on page 13 of Volume II.

Surviving Set Theory: A Pedagogical Game And Cooperative Learning Approach To Undergraduate Post-Tonal Music Theory, Angela Ripley Jan 2016

Surviving Set Theory: A Pedagogical Game And Cooperative Learning Approach To Undergraduate Post-Tonal Music Theory, Angela Ripley

Journal of Music Theory Pedagogy E-Journal 2013-2017

Undergraduate music students often experience difficulties when they first encounter pitch-class set theory, an analytical methodology very different from those they have studied previously. With the goal of fostering good will and openness toward studying post-tonal music, I adapt the reality competition show Survivor to frame a four-week unit on set theory and provide empirical results of Set Theory Survivor via student questionnaires and comments. The results of the study confirm that by combining the peer support of cooperative learning with the motivational force of constructive intergroup competition and the fun of a pedagogical game, Set Theory Survivor presents an …

Hurricane Sandy Records, Brooklyn College

Finding Aids

This collection consists largely of Newspapers and publications directly following Hurricane Sandy. The publications are from local neighborhoods, newspapers that serve all of New York, and press from Unions, CUNY and from Brooklyn College itself. There is also information on Sandy Relief efforts. Along with all of this information, you will find a coin found in Rockaway and a can of water produced by Anheuser-Busch. After the hurricane hit, the company decided to develop drinking water in their “beer” cans to donate to needy neighborhoods and Red Cross Relief members. Over One million cans were produced.
