Microgravity Simulator: 3d Clinostat, Camden Bell, George Jekov

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Student Publications

The microgravity simulator is a clinostat that rotates around two axis simulating weightlessness in three dimensions. While not true ‘weightlessness’ this prevents a biological sample from responding to the gravity vector, effectively ‘confusing’ the sample on which way is down.

Our team’s vision is to demystify electric vehicle technology for average people to take advantage of. Much of this technology is considered proprietary, so we would like to create an open-source, transparent solution to allow everyday people to perform their own repairs. In gas-powered vehicles, it is often not possible to manufacture your own parts at home, but pre-assembled circuit boards can be ordered by anybody. We hope our research can be used by others in years to come to support the advancement of consumer electric vehicles.

Age Discrimination, Ruth V. Walker, Jessica L. Spauldin Apr 2025

Age Discrimination, Ruth V. Walker, Jessica L. Spauldin

Essays in Developmental Psychology

Ageism refers to discrimination toward individuals due to their age. Although younger adults may experience ageism, researchers and governmental policies recognize ageism as discrimination toward older adults. Women define ageism as a societal fixation with youth in addition to discrimination against older adults. Ageism is unique from other “isms” because everyone who lives long enough may be subjected to this particular form of prejudice.

Aggression In Children, Emma C. Lathan, Jennifer Langhinrichsen-Rohling, Jose Gonzales Apr 2025

Aggression In Children, Emma C. Lathan, Jennifer Langhinrichsen-Rohling, Jose Gonzales

Essays in Developmental Psychology

Maladaptive aggression, defined by social psychologists as a set of behaviors intended to be verbally or physically harmful to others or objects, is unregulated and disinhibited, yet developmentally normative during certain stages of childhood (Connor, 2002). For example, for boys and girls, physical aggression increases at 18-months, peaks at 3.5 years, and declines with cognitive and emotional development (Teymoori et al., 2018). However, a small group of children continue to experience high levels of aggression that persist beyond developmentally appropriate behaviors. The current chapter will briefly: (i) review individual differences, including gender and age, that may affect forms of aggression …

Anxiety In Old Age, Kim Fitzgibbon, Lisa K. Lashley, Charles J. Golden Apr 2025

Anxiety In Old Age, Kim Fitzgibbon, Lisa K. Lashley, Charles J. Golden

Essays in Developmental Psychology

Anxiety can be impairing and distressing for both the individual suffering from the symptoms and those around them. Emerging research suggests that anxiety symptoms and anxiety disorders in older adults are just as prevalent as with younger adults, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). The ADAA states that Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is the most common anxiety disorder in the older adult population in the United States. It is also common for an older adult to have had a prior anxiety diagnosis, including GAD, when they were younger that has persisted into older age. Fear of …

Microplastics Collection In Crane Creek, Mitchell Oswalt Apr 2025

Microplastics Collection In Crane Creek, Mitchell Oswalt

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Student Publications

Several studies have established that yearly microplastics consumption varies from 39000 to 52000 particles per person. There is concern over harmful additives that may be found in these microplastics, which are described as a mixture of hazardous chemicals. There is a lack of knowledge on the harmful effects of these plastic additives and microplastics in general, though they generally considered harmful to humans and wildlife. Crane Creek, a tributary of the brackish-water Indian River Lagoon contains microplastics that can be filtered from its surface waters. For this project, samples were taken and then sieved to determine if the locations more …

Hidden Hammerheads: Discovering Genetic Markers Of Differentiation And Hybridization In Cryptic Shark Species, Kieran Stein, Rachel Schweppe, Abby Hesterhagen, Michelle Gargiulo Apr 2025

Hidden Hammerheads: Discovering Genetic Markers Of Differentiation And Hybridization In Cryptic Shark Species, Kieran Stein, Rachel Schweppe, Abby Hesterhagen, Michelle Gargiulo

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Student Publications

Scalloped hammerheads (Sphyrna lewini) are a globally endangered species whose life history traits make them vulnerable to fishing pressure1,2. Conservation of the species has been complicated by the discovery of the cryptic Carolina hammerhead (Sphyrna gilberti), which overlaps in range and closely resembles S. lewini3. The only consistent morphological difference, vertebrae count, is lethal to assess (Figures 1 & 2). Few studies have jointly assessed S. gilberti and S. lewini populations, and only one has previously investigated potential hybridization4. This study is the first to develop a method for determining hybridization using a combination of the nuclear gene ITS2 and …

Variations And Inaccuracies In Observational And Reanalysis Atmospheric Water Content Data In Tampa, Fl, Madisen F. Alvarez Apr 2025

Variations And Inaccuracies In Observational And Reanalysis Atmospheric Water Content Data In Tampa, Fl, Madisen F. Alvarez

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Student Publications

Reanalysis data is one of many tools for meteorologists in the understanding of severe weather and forecasting. However, some weather parameters are more complicated to create accurate reanalysis models of than others. Two of these parameters are atmospheric water vapor and precipitable water content. Both parameters are crucial to studying and forecasting severe weather, but unfortunately, they are challenging to collect throughout the atmosphere as well as recreate accurate models of these variables. This study seeks to analyze observational and reanalysis data of atmospheric water vapor and precipitable water content and find solutions to the problems discovered.

Case Study: Kphl Visibility In December Causing Aircraft Diversions, Emma Kocsis Apr 2025

Case Study: Kphl Visibility In December Causing Aircraft Diversions, Emma Kocsis

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Student Publications

Visibility can decrease when weather such as rain, snow, fog, and mist are present. When visibility deteriorates, pilots and airtraffic controller’s encounter operational constraints, leading to aircraft diversions, ground stops, and departure delays. Prolonged low-visibility events increase safety risks for passengers, crew, and aircraft, potentially resulting in collisions. This case study examined the impact of low visibility at Philadelphia International Airport (KPHL) in December 2023, analyzing its effects on arriving and departing flights. Using archived METAR, FAA documentation, and satellite, it was assessed how visibility influences flight diversions and delays. This study presents a time-series analysis of low-visibility events, associated …

Species-Specific Edna Detection Of Atlantic Tarpon, Paolo A. Soto Apr 2025

Species-Specific Edna Detection Of Atlantic Tarpon, Paolo A. Soto

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Student Publications

Florida’s sport fisheries are a vital economic resource for the state, providing $13.9 billion in revenue annually[1]. The Atlantic tarpon (Megalops atlanticus) is among the most popular target fish in the state due to its large size and fighting ability. Though fishermen use catch-and-release, there are many fishing tournaments that target tarpon and other large species[6]. Even when the fish is released, angling is known to cause increases in stress indicators such as lactate[2]. Additionally, tarpon use structurally complex habitats as nurseries[4], making it difficult for scientists to collect DNA samples for assessing population dynamics. They have declined from overfishing …

A Case Study: Hurricane Irma’S Forecast Impact On Key West, Austin Portner

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Student Publications

According to NOAA (2013) a hurricane is a type of storm called a tropical cyclone, which forms over tropical or subtropical waters. A tropical cyclone is a rotating low-pressure weather system that has organized thunderstorms but no fronts. Florida, located in the southeast United States, frequently experiences tropical cyclones (TC). Hurricane Irma devastated Key West, Florida, before moving through the heart of the state as a category 4 storm.
