The predatory and territorial behaviors of the model organism P. pacificus provides a useful opportunity to study territorial defensive behaviors and optional predatory behaviors in relation to availability of preferred food sources. P. pacificus will be grown with C. elegans in shared cultures, in which E. coli will be placed and used to feed both species of worm. The number of predation events and territory defense events by P. pacificus against C. elegans will be recorded and tracked at differing levels of food concentrations. One potential issue is the different mouth morphs found in P. pacificus, with the stenostomatous (in …


The Application Of Poly-Ε-Caprolactone Nanoparticles For Endotoxin Removal, Mikaela Ritchie Apr 2024

The Application Of Poly-Ε-Caprolactone Nanoparticles For Endotoxin Removal, Mikaela Ritchie

Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), also known as endotoxins, are toxins released from the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria upon their death. Ingestion of LPS by humans or animals can initiate inflammatory immune responses, resulting in blood vessels dilation, organ dysfunction and potential death. These toxins contaminate a variety of manufacturing processes from the pharmaceutical industry to animal feed production, posing a risk to humans and animals alike. This study details the production of PCL nanoparticle capable of removing LPS from water and a preliminary analysis of the removal efficiency. The outcomes of this research hold significant implications for industries reliant on bacterial …


Neurodiversity And Openness In Responses To Al In Writing, Joely Grace Hall Apr 2024

Neurodiversity And Openness In Responses To Al In Writing, Joely Grace Hall

Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T

Neurodivergent individuals encompass a broad spectrum of cognitive profiles, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, depression, anxiety and other neurological differences and learning disabilities. Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (Al) technologies have rapidly evolved, permeating various aspects of society, from healthcare to education and employment. Al often makes mistakes when analyzing papers written by neurodivergent students and flags them for plagiarism, when there is no plagiarism in the paper. We want to investigate why this happens and ways to work around this. We have put together a Prolific survey to get general opinions on Al, neurodiversity types and writing classes. With …


Uncertainty Quantification Of Thermal Capacitance Calorimeter For High-Enthalpy Flows, Logan Banker, Davide Vigano Apr 2024

Uncertainty Quantification Of Thermal Capacitance Calorimeter For High-Enthalpy Flows, Logan Banker, Davide Vigano

Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T

Thermal capacitance calorimeters are the standard instrument used to measure cold wall heat fluxes in high-enthalpy flows that simulates hypersonic flight conditions. These instruments play a fundamental role in the development and testing of Thermal Protection Systems for space re-entry conditions. However, despite their rugged and simple design, they are affected by large uncertainty errors. These have been estimated in literature at 15%. Despite their importance, and large errors, no proper uncertainty analysis has been performed. Uncertainty analysis is difficult due to the complex physics of the environment these calorimeters have to operate into.


Analysis Of The Benefits And Risks Of Just In Time Inventory Management, Ian Hodge Apr 2024

Analysis Of The Benefits And Risks Of Just In Time Inventory Management, Ian Hodge

Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T

Just in time (JIT) inventory management has become increasingly popular in industry due to its well known benefits. JIT aims to streamline inventory processes by minimizing excess stock, reducing holding costs, and improving operational efficiency overall. This approach introduces inherent risks, by minimizing the safety stock the company becomes more vulnerable to supply chain disruptions. If unexpected circumstances lead to a supply delay, the company will rapidly deplete their supplies and may have to cease operations until they are resupplied, resulting in decreased revenue and leaving customers unfulfilled.This research project will examine case studies of companies that adopted JIT methodology …

Development Of A Force Perturbation Handle For Physical Interaction Research In Humans, Henry Tien, Riley Still, Yun Seong Song

Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T

The vision of developing more advanced robots that physically interact with people begins with the study of how people interact with each other. Even the simplest interactions between humans, such as shaking hands, provides tremendous challenges for current robots and minimal research has been conducted on the inner workings of these interactions. Understanding the process and mechanics behind effective and intuitive physical human-human interaction (pHHI) will yield meaningful insight into designing robots capable of assisting the elderly, operating side by side with workers, or even dancing with people. To study this process, a custom Force Perturbation Handle (FPH) was developed, …

Our approach is to construct biosensor strains that can indicate bacterial stress response to antimicrobial agents. We have used …


How Does The C-Terminus Of Iqg1 Work In Cytokinesis?, Rae Tordilla, Katie Shannon Apr 2024

How Does The C-Terminus Of Iqg1 Work In Cytokinesis?, Rae Tordilla, Katie Shannon

Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T

During cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm between cells is controlled by the contraction of an actomyosin ring. Iqg1, a crucial regulator of cytokinesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is needed for the assembly and contraction of this ring. Already, it has been found that a domain in the Iqg1 C-terminus is crucial for S. cerevisiae survival. In this study, a regulated Iqg1 allele is introduced to yeast. This will allow researchers to turn off the wild-type allele of the Iqg1 gene under specified conditions, which allows for the study of the effects of the C-terminal Iqg1 deletion. Progress towards making the …

Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T

The study of North American freshwater ichthyofauna reveals a diversity shaped by the continent's geologic past and the extensive effects of Pleistocene glaciation on river systems. Ericymba dorsalis (Bigmouth 69 Shiner) is a minnow species with a broad distribution in the Mississippi River basin from Wyoming to New York. Despite exhibiting consistent morphological features across its range, the species' widespread northern distribution suggests the potential existence of multiple, genetically distinct lineages. This research tested the hypothesis that separate drainage systems harbor genetically distinct groups of E. dorsalis. Our results identified five clades, each associated with major drainages. Populations of the …

Comparing Autobiographical Memories Evoked By Different Sensory Cues For Younger And Older Adults, Akira Durbin

Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T

Music has the power to take us back in time. Previous research indicates that music is a potent autobiographical memory cue, and that recall often happens with no effort on the part of the listener. Our research is also informed by the reminiscence bump phenomenon, which describes the tendency of older adults to recall autobiographical memories formed from the ages of 18-35. Informed by this phenomenon, we presented older participants with stimuli that were relevant during their youth. We displayed different stimuli to younger and older adult participants on a desktop computer. The stimuli we presented were popular music clips, …
