The Impact Of Inattentive Respondents And The Efficacy Of Quality Control Checks In Online Surveys, Tammy Mccullough, Sam Fullerton

Global Advances in Business Communication

An online survey provided insight regarding problems associated with inattentive respondents when collecting primary data using an Internet interface. Rather than open-access, respondents were part of a commercially maintained consumer panel. Inattentive respondents were identified using three quality control checks: an instructional manipulation, a common knowledge question, and a time check. Of the 1,452 respondents who completed the 83-question survey, 511 respondents (35.19%) failed at least one quality control check; 59 (4.06%) failed all three. Deviations between inattentive and attentive respondents were identified. For the instructional manipulation and the common knowledge checks, the impact of the inattentive respondents depended upon …

Kinetic Analysis Of 2-Methylpentan-2-Ol*, Nicole Seheult

Campus Research Month

This experiment investigated the kinetics of 2-methylpentan-2-ol using UV-visible spectroscopy under strongly acidic conditions (96% sulfuric acid). The dehydration of the tert-amyl alcohol produced a carbocation intermediate whose absorbance at 300 nm was evaluated at various temperatures. An Arrhenius plot of ln(k) versus 1/T produced a linear relationship with a calculated activation energy of 90.0 kJ/mol. This value is consistent with literature expectations for tertiary carbocation formation and supports the acid-catalyzed dehydration mechanism predicted for this molecule.

Department Portfolio Web App*, Phillip Suvacarov, Tommy Aitchison

Campus Research Month

Southern Adventist University’s School of Computing produces numerous course projects, capstones, and research papers each year, yet there is no centralized, public showcase for this work. Our system provides a structured submission workflow for current and former students, faculty approval to ensure academic quality, and moderated commenting and likes to encourage constructive engagement. We outline the content model, role-based access control, and review queue, and describe search, tagging, and media support (including PDFs, images, and code links). By making student work visible beyond the classroom, the portfolio supports recruitment, alumni relations, and employer outreach while strengthening the School’s scholarly community.

Improving User Experience And Functionality: The Redesign Of Sorora In React Native*, Katherine A. Arroyo, Oswin S. Shin

Campus Research Month

This project redesigned and extended Sorora, a safety-focused mobile application built in React Native. The original Android Minimum Viable Product (MVP) included location tracking, an SOS button, and a basic contact list, but the interface lacked clarity, and the feature set created friction during urgent situations. We improved the UI and UX using Nielsen's usability heuristics, reduced navigation complexity, and redesigned the emergency workflow for deliberate, fast interaction.

Redesigning A Fitness App Interface For Physiological Constrained Users*, Joseph E. Manzanillo

Campus Research Month

As fitness tracking converges with medical monitoring, inclusive design becomes a matter of health equity. This research utilizes a Polar Beat redesign to address exclusionary "sporty" aesthetics that can exclude 300 million colorblind users. Based in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), the study implements WCAG AA standards and color-blind-verified filters to mitigate data loss during Situational Induced Impairment (SIID), when high-intensity exercise compromises cognitive and visual processing. By optimizing user journeys for Paralympic and geriatric archetypes, this work demonstrates that accessibility is the essential bridge transitioning mobile fitness apps into viable, inclusive instruments for clinical medical use.

Indexed Concatenation (I-Cat): A Method For Representing And Operating On Repeating Numbers*, Abigail Touma, Isaac Wolford

Campus Research Month

Our research presents Indexed Concatenation (I-Cat) notation as a structured way to represent numbers with repeating patterns, including both decimals and whole numbers. Instead of treating expressions like 0.333... or 735735735 as unstructured expansions, they are rewritten as compact repeating objects called I-Cats. The presentation demonstrates how arithmetic operations, including addition and multiplication, can be performed using hypothesized rules such as the "U = M/C" method, unpacking, and carry propagation. Examples progress from simple conversions and multiplication by integers to the multiplication of two I-Cats. A live visual demonstration will show how standard numerics transform into I-Cat form and how …

Which Is The Most Effective Study Break: Movement, Media, Or Rest?*, Emily R. Grant, Kalla Carballo, Aislin Robinson

Campus Research Month

College students frequently incorporate breaks of various types into their study sessions; however, limited research has examined how different types of breaks affect memory retention. The proposed study will examine how exercising, spending time on social media, or participating in quiet rest affect delayed recall among undergraduate college students. The study predicts that students who participate in an exercise break will show improved memory retention, while students who are exposed to social media will experience reduced memory retention. The study also hypothesizes that students who are assigned to the quiet rest condition will demonstrate no significant change in retention. Undergraduate …

A Strategic Roadmap For Assessing And Educating On Personal Cybersecurity Practices In Universities*, Ryan Lopez, Ysani Peña

Campus Research Month

Universities face a common cybersecurity threat: their own users. Although organizations may meet compliance standards and implement robust security infrastructures, the individual user remains the weakest link. This is particularly evident in higher education institutions, where both students and employees are frequent targets of cyber threats due to a lack of cybersecurity awareness. This paper proposes a strategic roadmap for assessing university student bodies and employee populations through cybersecurity domains that directly affect personal cyber hygiene awareness and practice.

Our proposed roadmap was validated in a U.S. university by using a domain-focused survey and simulated phishing campaigns. After the identification …

Sau Physical Activity Website (Paw)*, Lisbette Sanchez, Alberto Elizondo, Caleb Tenold, Evelyn Shtereva, Siegwart Mayr

Campus Research Month

Problem: Southern’s Physical Activity Website (PAW) used to track physical activity from students and faculty was no longer functional. Aside from unsupported API versions, there was also an issue with authorization and role assignments.

Solution: Southern’s Center for Innovation and Research in Computing (CIRC) adopted the assignment of restructuring a new web application to track physical activity. This project focuses on building a secure and scalable architecture that connects user devices, third-party fitness APIs, and a centralized database to support activity tracking, workout analysis, and fitness history. By combining modern web development practices with API integration and backend data processing, …

Gci #282: Phoenix-Cracker V2.0 Hydrodynamic Cavitation Reactor, Michael Victor Caldwell Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

GCI #282 Phoenix-Cracker v2.0 mounts as the Car B reactor module on the GCI Universal Conditioning Train chassis. It is designed for the 80°C bulk conversion of clean PE/PP waste and waste motor oil (3:1 ratio) into high-purity synthetic diesel (C10–C20).

Physics: The GCI #18 J-Groove Manifold accelerates the pressurized slurry through a Tungsten Carbide Venturi Nozzle. This creates hydrodynamic cavitation "hotspots" (>5,000 K) that enable non-equilibrium polyolefin scission without 400°C+ pyrolysis. H-ZSM-5 Zeolite bed performs molecular polishing.

Towards Physics-Informed Neural Networks For Simulating Multiphase Geothermal Convection​*, Daniel C. Patton, Andrew Harrison Eno

Campus Research Month

Water and steam flow through porous rock, transferring heat via conduction and buoyancy-driven convection caused by density differences. Traditional numerical methods (finite-volume/finite-element) model this well but can become memory-intensive and unstable for long, high-detail simulations. This work demonstrates a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) using a finite-difference approach within the NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo framework to simulate magma chambers in 2D. Tested on the Rio Pisco pluton in Peru, results are compared with the USGS HYDROTHERM model. PINNs learn from physical laws, offering accurate, flexible solutions with less data and development effort.

The Linchpin Protocol:, Jonathan S. Baker

Defensive Publications Series

1. Abstract Traditional digital authentication relies on static biometric templates, rendering systems critically vulnerable to advanced generative simulation and data exfiltration. Ethelgard LLC presents the Linchpin Protocol: a decentralized, hardware-anchored identity infrastructure utilizing Dynamic Biometric Entropy (DBE). By synthesizing real-time physiological telemetry—specifically Non-Linear Heart Rate Variability (HRV)—into ephemeral cryptographic session keys, the protocol eliminates biological data persistence. The framework is sustained by a continuous "Tri-Harvesting" power architecture, featuring a textile-embedded, AMC-isolated rectenna array for ambient RF and thermal energy capture. Operating autonomously from grid power, the Ethelgard interface executes Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK-SNARKs) for secure, on-ledger (XRPL) human authentication …
