Ionospheric Evidence Of Lobe Reconnection For Northward Imf, Dora Csonge, Gerard Fasel, John Mann, Audrey Daucher, Owen Bradley, Aidan Hulbert, Thomas Lewer, Sun-Hee Lee, F. Sigernes, D. Lorentzen

Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium

It is believed that magnetic reconnection is one of the main mechanisms to transfer energy and momentum from the for the solar wind into the terrestrial environment. Dungey suggested that magnetic reconnection occurs on the dayside magnetosphere when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is southward. Poleward moving auroral forms (PMAFs) have been identified in past studies as Ionospheric signatures of magnetic reconnection on the dayside.

However, magnetic reconnection can also occur for other geometrical orientations of the IMF. This presentation presents possible examples, 1 December 2021, for lobe reconnection during periods when the IMF x-component is negative, coupled with a …

The Fractography Of Bone: Impact Of Flat Bone And The Story It Tells, Abigail Hoffmeister, Chase Freeman, Brandon Mendoza, Nathaniel Fitch, Annie Markarian, Jack Tran, Joshua Lau, Nicholas Tran

Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium

Fractography as a method for fracture analysis has been applied widely to materials that range from glass to ceramics and polymers of varying compositions. Very limited research has been done, however, to apply this knowledge of fractography and fracture patterns to bone. With the goal of telling the story of how a bone was broken, this research focuses on observing known patterns of fracture in polymers, and applying these patterns to bone. For the purposes of this research, porcine scapulae were acquired, dissected from surrounding tissue, and broken using a standardized weight drop at varying heights. The fractured bone was …

Explaining Volunteering Behavior Within A Social-Cognitive Model Of Motivation Framework, Corinne Novell, Steven Bauer, Alice Labban, Ka Yee Kwok

Title: Explaining volunteering behavior within a social-cognitive model of motivation framework

Faculty: Corinne Novell, Steven Bauer, Alice Labban Student: Kayee (Jenny) Kwok

Abstract:

Nonprofit organizations face major difficulties when it comes to retaining volunteer participants even though volunteers give valuable support to their missions. The research evaluates what makes volunteers retain their commitment using mindsets as a key variable set. A belief system about trait development known as the growth mindset, according to Dweck and Leggett’s (1988) Social-Cognitive Model of Motivation, produces positive effects on the intentions of future volunteering. Our research demonstrates …

Dayside Auroral Oval Expansion, Magnetic Flux Erosion, And Substorms, Dora Csonge, Parker Para, Gerard Fasel, Owen Bradley, Gasia Excel, Makena Swenski, Rachel Rodriguez, Sun-Hee Lee, John Mann, F. Sigernes, D. Lorentzen

Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium

Magnetic flux is eroded from the dayside magnetosphere when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) turns southward. During this period, the dayside auroral oval shifts equatorward as magnetic flux is transported anti-sunward to the magnetotail. Poleward-Moving Auroral Forms (PMAFs) are thought to be the ionospheric footprints of the flux tubes which are formed and transported tailward. Afterwards, magnetic reconnection occurs in the magnetotail, resulting in a substorm.

This study looks at the time between the onset of dayside magnetic reconnection and the onset of a substorm. Rates of dayside auroral oval equatorward shifts after southward turnings of the IMF are presented, …

Social Health Among Adolescents In The Global School-Based Student Health Survey (Gshs), Luke Pontoriero, Sarah Simon, Lauren Anderson

Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium

Background: Social health is a function of the quantity and quality of relationships, including with family members and peers. Adolescents who report being lonely or having no close friends have a low quantity of relationships, and those who feel that their peers are unkind and their parents are not understanding have low quality relationships. We examined whether poor social health is associated with violent behavior.

Methods: We analyzed data from the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS), which employs a standardized two-stage cluster sampling method and a validated questionnaire to explore health and risk behaviors among nationally representative samples of …

Do Undergraduates Get Enough Sleep? Trends From 2000 To 2024 ​ According To The National College Health Assessment, Bianca Welch, Khanh Bui

Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium

The National Sleep Foundation (2020) recommends that adults aim to get 9 hours of sleep nightly. Research (Solan, 2023) shows that inadequate sleep can place individuals at a higher risk for mental health conditions.

Since the Spring of 2000, the American College Health Association has collected data on the well-being of college students through its National College Health Assessment (NCHA), which includes questions broadly related to health and is administered during the Fall and Spring semesters.

Our study examined sleep trends among undergraduates from Spring 2000 to Spring 2024.

More specifically, we examined undergraduates’ responses to the question “How many …

Understanding The Behavior Of Emerging Adults Through Perceptions Of Childhood Parental Rejection, Syrah Jhutti, Emily Isakulyan, Anna Agee, Bianca Welch, Jaci Ueckert, Vianita Correa, Abigail Oh

Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium

According to Interpersonal Acceptance-Rejection Theory (IPARTheory), feeling loved and accepted in childhood is crucial (Rohner, 2021). Cross-cultural studies show that unmet parental acceptance can lead to negative outcomes. This study examined how perceived parental rejection in childhood affects emerging adults’ romantic relationships, friendships, social interactions, and coping behaviors.

A total of 174 participants (67% women, 32% men, 1 non-binary; M age = 19.86, SD = 1.55) completed an online survey with established scales measuring perceived parental rejection, relationship dynamics, coping strategies, and social behaviors (Cronbach’s α = .76–.95).

Perceived maternal rejection was linked to more withdrawal in romantic relationships (r …

Fitspiration And The Prevalence Of Orthorexia Symptomatology In A Male Population, Avery N. Encalade, Jennifer A. Harriger, Janet P. Trammell

Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium

Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is a condition characterized by an unhealthy obsession with eating healthy food, often leading to psychological impairment (Oberle & Lipschuetz, 2018). Fitspiration is a social media trend that has gained popularity in recent years, showcasing idealized physiques and promoting rigid dietary practices along with intense exercise in pursuit of health. Using Thompson et al.'s (1999) Tripartite Influence Model of the Sociocultural Theory as a framework, the researchers hypothesized that increased viewership of fitspiration content would be associated with higher orthorexia symptomatology and would be moderated by the internalization of sociocultural ideals and physical appearance comparisons. Participants included …

Closing The Gap: Preschool Quality Affect On Language Acquisition Across Socioeconomic Statuses, Abby E. Hannnon Ms, Kaitlyn Clark Ms, Olivia Lewis Ms, Catherine L. Cotton Ms

Undergraduate Research Conference

Language acquisition is impacted greatly in the early years of life by many contributing factors. Children begin to have the conscious ability to acquire, learn, and develop language in exponential capacities around the age of 3-4 years old. These years are vital for the future of individuals' speech and communication. Preschool education is the beginning building blocks that lead to K-12 language learning and development. Socioeconomic statuses differ across all preschool aged children’s homes, consequently affecting the language heard and learned in the household. Our goal is to examine whether the quality of preschool education reduces the language acquisition gap …

Dayside North-South Aligned Auroral Arcs, Taiel Ramirez, Gerard J. Fasel, Wyatt Farrar, Mason Woolfolk, Andrea Black, Cullen Diggs, Clay Shin, Jordan Chiu, Sun-Hee Lee, John Mann, Fred Sigernes, Dag A. Lorentzen

Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium

Observations of North-South auroral arcs (or Sun-aligned) have been recorded for many years. Discrete North-South auroral arcs are located between 73-84° MLAT and are usually associated moderate auroral activity, low solar wind dynamic pressure, and a small IMF z-component. Some observations reported quasi-periodic poleward motions of North-South aligned dayside auroral arcs. This current statistical study contains nine years of All-Sky Camera images obtained from the Boreal Aurora Camera Constellation (BACC) from the Kjell Henriksen Observatory (KHO) in Longyearbyen, Svalbard (GEO: 78.148 N, 16.043 E; AACGM: 75.24 N, 111.21 E). The characteristics of discrete North-South dayside auroral arcs, including spatial and …

Probing Freeze Out Sensitivity In Nuclear Collisions Using Exact Solutions Of Fluid Dynamics, Julia Johnson

Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium

One of the primary goals in the field of high-energy nuclear collisions is to create and study a novel phase of matter known as quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a substance which can be extremely well described by fluid dynamics. However, two different criteria are often used to identify the point of freeze out, which defines when the fluid dynamical simulation of a nuclear collision should be terminated: either when the QGP fluid has cooled below a given temperature, or when it has reached a certain Knudsen number (a quantity that estimates how well the system can be modeled by a fluid). …
