Dynamic Credit Limit Adjustemnt System, Palakh Shangle Visa

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to a Dynamic Credit Limit Adjustment System which is an innovative financial technology solution designed to transform the way credit limits are managed by financial institutions. Utilizing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms, this system dynamically adjusts an individual's credit limit in real-time based on a comprehensive analysis of their financial data. This system integrates various financial indicators such as income changes, spending patterns, payment history, and current economic trends to provide a more accurate and responsive credit limit. By doing so, it addresses the limitations of traditional credit limit assignment methods, which are …

The projection array will have the capability to collectively project 9 overlapping projections which are associated with displaying content of the same scene. …

Recognizing “Excel”Ence Through Professional Development Within Ambulatory Nursing, Dina Kebbekus, Brenda Carlevato

Nursing

Our Professional Development Program, ExCEL (Excellence in Career Engagement and Learning) was designed with an inpatient focus. Environmental scanning data validated lack of RN buy-in secondary to inpatient based activities, technical challenges, and ambulatory RN lack of awareness. The program redesign goal was to increase ambulatory RN participation by 10% within 1 year. Collaboration from key stakeholders was imperative to achieve increased ambulatory RN engagement. Focus groups including RNs, leaders, and NPDs assessed and addressed program gaps. Activities were refined to be more inclusive of ambulatory RNs, emphasizing achievable activity opportunities involving evidence-based practice, quality improvement, competency validation, professional development, …

Reflections On Select Works Of Professional Writing And Rhetoric, Joy Tersigni

Master of Arts in English Plan II Graduate Projects

The following portfolio includes final pieces from three courses in the Master of Arts in the field of English with a specialization in Professional Writing and Rhetoric program. The first two pieces deal with the analysis, evaluation, and creation of an effective instructional user guide. In the first piece, the current version of an instructional guide for an online pedagogical platform is evaluated for strengths and areas for improvement using a framework for analyzing on-screen text. After analyzing the original instructional guide, I develop version 2.0 of the instructional user guide as the second piece. The second piece is a …

Effect Of Weekly And Triweekly Application Of Growth Hormone Gibberellin On Dwarf Millet Plants, Holly Harding, Kendall Klewer, Delanee Miller, Therie Moore, Clara Gallapoo

2024 Student Academic Showcase

Plant biology students teamed up with statistics students to examine the effects of the plant growth hormone gibberellin on mutant millet plants. Dwarf mutant millets exhibit stunted growth either because they do not produce gibberellin on their own, or because they lack the mechanisms to effectively use gibberellin. By growing some of these mutants in the greenhouse, applying a gibberellin solution to them, and observing their growth response, we can identify which kind of mutant the plant is. We are also examining the importance of frequency of gibberellin application, with some plants receiving one application of gibberellin per week, and …

Tracing The Path: Exploring The Drivers Behind Venezuelan Migration Waves, Sofia Hernandez Otero

2024 Student Academic Showcase

This research project investigates why Venezuela, once a wealthy nation, has experienced one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, causing many people to leave in large numbers. By examining the reasons behind these waves of emigration and the specific characteristics or backgrounds of the people leaving, we aim to understand the factors driving this mass exodus. Through studying the demographics of each wave, including factors like age, socioeconomic status, and education level, we seek to gain insights into the diverse experiences of Venezuelan migrants. By shedding light on these aspects, the research aims to provide a clearer understanding of the …

Optimal Control For Delayed Nanoparticle Dosing Models Using Conformable Derivatives, Drew Barnes, Micah Duffield, Abi Waters

2024 Student Academic Showcase

Previously, a research group used a theoretical state-space framework to study the effects nanoparticles had on cancerous tumors in mice. Since sensors are used to determine the number of nanoparticles found in the bloodstream, it is natural for a time delay to occur when making adjustments to the dosage. Here, an equal time delay has been put on the state and control to study the effects of multiple dosage strategies. However, these researchers did not consider how the absorption of these nanoparticles would affect treatment. In this project, we construct a model using a conformable derivative first introduced by Khalil …

Translating Poetry As A Poet Through The Lyrics Of Hermann Hesse, Ethan Plate

2024 Student Academic Showcase

In translating Hermann Hesse's lyric poem "Ravenna (1)," I have used an approach that tries to balance maintaining the spirit of the original while also engaging with the work as an essentially creative process. I have gone against the precedent set by previous English translator James Wright by maintaining formal elements, such as rhyme scheme, at the price of some literal exactness. On the other hand, I have also detailed the ways that I have built into the translation some of my own interpretations of the poem as well as Hesse’s overall body of work. I have justified this extension …

Mechanisms Of Genetic Dwarfism In Dwarf Millet Genotypes, Holly Willett, Savannah Jones, Rashmi Aryal, Therese West, Maddelyne Wright

2024 Student Academic Showcase

The goal of this project was to study and determine the different forms of genetic dwarfism in millet plants. This was done by creating three different types of millet samples using two different forms of mutant seeds and also normal seeds. 6 plants of each of the three varieties were sectioned into separate pots, and then given different treatment levels of gibberellin. Two plants in each group were given no gibberellin, two were given gibberellin once a week and two were given gibberellin daily Monday-Friday. The height of each plant was then recorded once a week throughout the trial period. …

Longitudinal Dynamic Strength Index Profiling In Collegiate Olympic Weightlifters Preparing For National Competition, Jose Mostaffa

2024 Student Academic Showcase

PURPOSE: Characterize DSI scores and evaluate longitudinal changes in DSI and its constituent variables in collegiate Olympic weightlifters.

METHODS: Male and female weightlifters performed three trials of CMVJ and IMTP once per week during the final eight-week peaking period prior to competition. Mixed effects models were computed to identify week-to-week differences in DSI, CMVJ, and IMTP performance (α = 0.05). Cohen’s d effect sizes were calculated comparing between each week and baseline.

RESULTS: Significant changes in CMVJ peak propulsive force, IMTP peak force, and DSI were not detected throughout the testing period. Effect sizes were small for …

Artistic Identities In Japan And The United States In The 19th-20th Centuries, Mutsumi Yuki

2024 Student Academic Showcase

This project explores artistic identities in Japan and the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries. The main foci of this study are motifs and methodologies seen in paintings. In the 1800s, both countries transitioned to open their gates to the world, which greatly influenced their respective artistic cultures. Around this time, Japan continued to preserve its traditional techniques while actively adopting and trading styles and artifacts internationally. Meanwhile, in the United States, American realism and landscape paintings were established and advanced by paying homage to the natural environment of the country. My comparative study aims to deepen our …
