Growing Plants On The Moon: How Mizuna Roots And Organic Matter Spark Microbial Metabolism, Stefani Capasso Villanueva, Nupur Kulkarni Feb 2026

Growing Plants On The Moon: How Mizuna Roots And Organic Matter Spark Microbial Metabolism, Stefani Capasso Villanueva, Nupur Kulkarni

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Establishing functional plant–microbe systems in extraterrestrial substrates is critical for sustainable lunar agriculture. We tested whether manure amendment and Mizuna mustard (Brassica rapa var. japonica) rhizosphere activity enhance the metabolic potential of a lunar regolith simulant (LHS-1). Plants were grown in four treatments: Unplanted manure-amended regolith (LRM), planted manure-amended regolith (LRMP), planted unamended regolith (LRP), and soil controls. Plant height and community-level physiological profiles (CLPP; Biolog EcoPlates) were measured to assess growth and metabolic diversity. Mizuna grew best in soil, with modest improvements in LRMP compared to LRP, though regolith treatment differences were not statistically significant. CLPP revealed the highest …


Examining Self-Direction In Learning Programming Among First-Year Students, Abigail Blalock Feb 2026

Examining Self-Direction In Learning Programming Among First-Year Students, Abigail Blalock

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

In this poster, we present empirical insights into first-year students’ self-direction in learning programming. In this study, we use a 25-item Personal Responsibility Orientation to Self-Direction in Learning Scale (PRO-SDLS) to assess the self-direction of first-year students in learning programming. The PRO-SDLS is comprised of 4 constructs: self-efficacy, initiative, motivation, and control. Additionally, this study examines the results of the PRO-SDLS across different demographic groups (i.e., first-generation, students with employment, financial aid, etc.). A pre- and post-survey was administered during the Fall 2024 semester in an introductory programming course for first-year engineering students. Data was collected from seven course sections, …


Development Of An Ied Response Model For Testing Of The Snapping Shrimp Resource Allocation Algorithm, Joanna Morris Feb 2026

Development Of An Ied Response Model For Testing Of The Snapping Shrimp Resource Allocation Algorithm, Joanna Morris

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

"Models must be capable of demonstrating adaptability across multiple case studies to confirm their reliability and versatility. The Snapping Shrimp Resource Allocation Algorithm, which has been successfully applied in a wildfire response scenario, models efficient, decentralized coordination inspired by the behavior of snapping shrimp. Building on this foundation, the current work explores the potential application of the Snapping Shrimp Resource Allocation algorithm to improvised explosive device response where rapid, autonomous coordination could significantly enhance safety and operational efficiency. Improvised explosive devices remain a persistent issue in modern conflict, requiring strategies for response that are cost-effective, scalable, and capable of adapting …

Evidence For Robustness Of Synchronous Hatching Consensus Algorithm: Examining New Model Parameters And New Fault Types, Grace Gratton, Morgan Kendall Feb 2026

Evidence For Robustness Of Synchronous Hatching Consensus Algorithm: Examining New Model Parameters And New Fault Types, Grace Gratton, Morgan Kendall

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Robustness to faulted agents in consensus algorithms within a multi-agent system is a critical requirement for reliable systems. Faulted agents can compromise the swarm, leading to catastrophic consequences, including economic impacts and possible loss of life. Therefore, it is critical to develop robust consensus algorithms to ensure the security and reliability of the systems we rely upon. Biologically Inspired Design previously led to the Synchronous Hatching Consensus Algorithm, which was robust up to 20% faulted agents reporting false positives, but not robust to faulted agents reporting false negatives. This work builds upon the previous model by increasing robustness to both …


Paschen Curves Of Glow Discharges In Different Gas Compositions, Seth Gerow Feb 2026

Paschen Curves Of Glow Discharges In Different Gas Compositions, Seth Gerow

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Our work focuses on low current, low temperature plasma discharges: glow and corona. Townsend theory predicts that the critical voltage to initiate a gas breakdown (i.e., a "spark") between two parallel plate electrodes is dependent on the product of the pressure and distance; consequently, variations in either parameter which results in the same product, pd, do not affect the breakdown voltage. In this work, we present Paschen curves of narrow-to-wide electrode glow discharges in two gas mediums, argon and air. These curves show a deviation from theoretical predictions, such that changes in electrode configuration create a uniform shift of the …

10 Ways To Think About How We Should Teach Ai, Margaret Talev Feb 2026

10 Ways To Think About How We Should Teach Ai, Margaret Talev

Newhouse Impact Journal

What, how and why should we teach our students about generative AI? This article reviews news coverage, reports, and announcements by schools, universities and companies to assemble a national snapshot, in 2025, of how K-12 schools and higher ed institutions already are developing AI instruction; the involvement of AI companies in educational partnerships and related considerations; and what employers, and workers, expect in terms of job trends and readiness.
