The Sedimentology Of Cay Sal Bank - An Incipiently Drowned Carbonate Platform, Luis Ramirez

HCNSO Student Theses and Dissertations

Sediment on Cay Sal Bank (CSB) is characterized by its coarse-grain size, poor sorting, predominance of skeletal fragments, and relatively depleted d¹⁸O isotope values. CSB is an incipiently drowned platform in close proximity to the Great Bahama Bank (GBB), a carbonate platform which is not incipiently drowned and characterized by fine-grained, non-skeletal sediment. The GBB has locally well-developed oolitic grainstone facies and coral reef margins, which are both lacking on CSB. Platform-top water depths on the GBB are typically 10 m or less, but CSB depth ranges between 7 and 30 m. CSB is devoid of mud, whereas …

Determining How Risk Effects Predator-Prey Interactions Of Marine Communities In The Nearshore Environment Of South Bimini, The Bahamas, Kendall Brancart

HCNSO Student Theses and Dissertations

Predators often have strong top-down effects on ecosystems and are considered a priority for conservation and management. Predator activity can influence prey distribution, abundance, and foraging behaviors and are likely to influence habitat by impacting ecological and environmental characteristics as well as presence of competitor species. There are knowledge gaps of the functional diversity of fish assemblages, non-consumptive predator effects, and environmental effects on fish assemblages. With this study, effects of top marine predators, such as sharks and great barracuda, on diversity and abundance of prey communities were examined in putative low (north side of South Bimini = lagoon) and …

Spatial Damage Sensing Ability Of Metallic Particulate-Reinforced Cementitious Composites: Insights From Electrical Resistance Tomography, Sumeru Nayak, Sumanta Das

Civil & Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

The paper evaluates the spatial damage sensing ability of self-sensing mortars containing up to 40% waste metallic iron powder by volume as cement-replacement. The spatial damage-sensing ability is evaluated using a framework that integrates the electrical resistance tomography (ERT)-based conductivity reconstruction algorithm with multiscale numerical homogenization with a view to enable microstructure-guided design of such self-sensing composites. The ERT-based framework uses experimentally measured boundary electrode voltages as input; assigns the effective conductivity of the composite (obtained from numerical homogenization) as initial estimate of the conductivity distribution and initiates the iterative process involving the well-posed forward model and the ill-posed inverse …

A Pfa Study: Exploring The Relationship Of Anxiety And Self-Esteem With Expressive Writing, Abraham J. Gothong Walayat

Honors Theses

Research has indicated that expressive writing is thought to be beneficial by decreasing inhibitions, but what was still unknown is how the use of self-esteem words could moderate the change in anxiety levels. This study examined the efficacy of Expressive Writing on anxiety levels across time (baseline, immediately post treatment, 30 minutes post, and 15 days post) compared to a Superficial Writing control condition. This study also examined how the use of self-esteem words moderated anxiety levels. Subjects (N=31) were drawn from the Andrews University Behavioral Science Research Subjects Pool and were randomly assigned to either an Expressive Writing experimental …

Influence Of Pretreatment Root Development Stage On Success Of Apexification: Forensic Dental Evaluation, Myroslav Goncharuk-Khomyn

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Clinicians have previously reported effective outcomes of apexification in cases of complicated caries or trauma; however, there is still not enough evidence of how root development stage before treatment influences the success of this procedure. Objectives: The study was performed to evaluate the influence of pretreatment root development stage on the success of apexification, with the use of a modified forensic technique for estimating odontologic age. Methods: Apexification of maxillary and mandibular permanent incisors, first molars, and premolars was provided to 43 pediatric patients with symptoms of irreversible pulp changes or signs of chronic apical periodontitis. Success of apexification was …

Hubungan Literasi Digital Dengan Self Direct Learning Pada Mahasiswa Di Daerah Miskin Sumatera, Ridha Rizki Novanda

Factors Impacting Internship Success: Integration Of Skills And Competencies Into The Accountancy Curriculum, Paige E. Cosgrove

Honors Capstones

There are a wide range of competencies that factor into a successful career in accountancy. I researched and summarized the competencies that are identified by various constituencies as contributing to career success and the importance of these competencies in the accounting profession. I mapped these competencies to the department of accountancy learning goals and objectives in recognition of how the department strives to align the curriculum with the factors that lead to student success. This spring, I was in the position to evaluate how well the accountancy curriculum prepared me for my internship and self-reflect on what skills or competencies …

Job-Relevant Invisible Disabilities And Perceptions Of Employee Potential, Megan K. Stricker

Honors Capstones

Disabilities that are not directly observable (invisible disabilities) is an area of psychological research that is rapidly expanding and in need of further studies. Invisible disabilities are different from the stereotypical interpretation of “disabilities” in that they are not readily apparent to others – thus, their holders have control over disclosure of their disability status. There has been little research on the impact of invisible disability status on perceptions of workplace potential. Additionally, job relevance of a disability has been shown to influence evaluations of employees (Colella & Varma, 1999). Recently, research has theorized about the process of designating employees …

Self-Confidence Levels In Sequential Learning Versus Structured Discovery Cane Travel, Post Orientation And Mobility Instruction: A Comparison Study, Merry-Noel Chamberlain

CUP Ed.D. Dissertations

Sequential Learning (SL), the medical model of Orientation and Mobility (O&M)was designed for blinded WWII veterans in the 1940s. This preeminent curriculum monopolized the O&M profession, creating a paradigm paralysis, until Structured Discovery Cane Travel (SDCT) made its official debut in 1997. The conceptual framework for this study is Glasser's choice theory (1998) whereby ideas or systems of belief direct or oversee behavior, and this principle holds true for both O&M professionals and individuals who are blind or visually impaired (consumers). A comparison study answered the research question; that is, at what distance and frequency do consumers travel independently post-instruction …

The Education Of Digital Design For Children, Neha Kharidi

Honors Program Theses and Projects

Digital design is a set of rules stating how computer software and hardware are joined together and interact to make a computer work. This is an important area of study that should be made more accessible to children, particularly of the middle school age. Although middle schools do provide access to computer science software, access to the hardware aspect is nonexistent. In this project, I proposed to create a mock up for an android app that aims to teach children beginner concepts in digital design. It is my goal to one day create an app in order to bring these …
