"Bitter Tongues & Berries Sweet" - A Writing Archive (Capstone), Camille Vail Apr 2024

"Bitter Tongues & Berries Sweet" - A Writing Archive (Capstone), Camille Vail

Academic Festival

This archive demonstrates the different forms and stages of writing that go into crafting a story, and simultaneously analyzing said craft. This can be seen throughout the writing process, with much of the creative writing typewritten, frequent copy-and-pasting of sections, and small adjustments. The reflection aspect is handwritten, a representation of the analytical process that comes before a fully developed paper is formed. "Writing is messy. While the end product is traditionally "pretty" and professional, the process is ugly." This archive is a representation of creative, critical, and analytical thinking in its rawest form.

How Artificial Intelligence Works: Using The Gradient Descent Algorithm, Rachel Glowniak Apr 2024

How Artificial Intelligence Works: Using The Gradient Descent Algorithm, Rachel Glowniak

Academic Festival

The recent commercialization of affordable and simplified tools has brought artificial intelligence out of the movies and research labs and into our homes and classrooms. Using Alexa, Siri, and ChatGPT has been simplified for the masses, but the algorithms behind these applications are steeped in mathematics and computer science. This paper will focus on gradient descent, an example of an optimization algorithm. The foundation of the algorithm as well as its applications and limitations will be explored. Finally, we will present a classic example of the gradient descent algorithm. To further analyze the method, the algorithm has been implemented in …

Fibonacci Numbers, Maya Salamone

Academic Festival

The Fibonacci sequence is defined as the sequence Fn with the recurrence relation Fn+1 = Fn + F n-1 where F0 = 0 and F1= 1. A closely related sequence to the Fibonacci sequence is the Lucas sequence, Ln. The terms of the Lucas sequence satisfy the the same recurrence relation as the Fibonacci sequence with differing initial conditions. In this paper, we will study some of the properties of the Fibonacci numbers and explore some of the relationships between Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. We will also give a proof of Binet's …

The Usability And Privacy Of Cryptocurrency, Daniel Godley

Academic Festival

Over the last few years, cryptocurrency has gained mainstream attention because of its decentralized nature and elements of privacy. However, Cryptocurrency may not be as private as users seem and still has usability and privacy concerns. The purpose of this paper is to compare the usability and privacy characteristics of popular cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. The elements that illustrate the usability and privacy of these cryptocurrencies include ease of use, transaction speed, transaction cost, and privacy features. While Bitcoin offers some levels of privacy, its transaction speed and cost are relatively high. Litecoin, on the other hand, offers …

The purpose of this study is to compare physical activity measured by the wearable device Xiaomi Mi2 Band and self-reported physical activity by YPAQ in preadolescent school children. A pilot cross-sectional study was performed on a subsample (5%=n=60) of preadolescent children within a parallel-group feasibility intervention trial (n=1000). All children aged 9-11 years enrolled in the schools were included in the study and children with any physical disability were excluded. Self-reported physical activity was recorded through the modified version of the Youth Physical Activity Questionnaire (YPAQ) and automatic physical activity was measured …

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 17(2): 576-589, 2024. This study investigated the effects of bi-set, drop-set and traditional resistance training (RT) techniques on metabolic responses in resistance-trained males. Fifteen trained males (age 29.7 ± 6.1 years; body mass 83.4 ± 7.6 kg; RT experience 11.4 ± 6.7 years; one-repetition maximum (1RM) barbell bench press: body mass ratio 1.4 ± 0.1 a.u.) were assigned to three experimental conditions, in a randomized crossover design. The experimental conditions were bi-set (3x10 repetitions at 70%1RM in barbell bench press followed by 10 repetitions at 60%1RM in incline bench press), drop-set (3x10 repetitions at …

The Effect Of Social Media Usage On Sacred Heart University Student-Athletes Stress Levels, Kiara Calmet Apr 2024

The Effect Of Social Media Usage On Sacred Heart University Student-Athletes Stress Levels, Kiara Calmet

Academic Festival

Abstract: This research paper explores the relationship between social media usage and stress levels among student-athletes at Sacred Heart University. The paper argues that while technology has made college life easier, social media can have negative effects on mental health, particularly stress. The study uses a regression model to analyze data on stress levels and different variables. The data that has been collected is a cross- section data collected from a survey with 70 responses in a single-point in time. The results suggest that there is no direct effect between social media usage and stress levels among student-athletes, but that …

The mental preparation of a tennis player, or any athlete in general, is one of the most crucial characteristics for developing a successful personality. The will, control, and critical thinking are necessary at all stages of an athlete's development. The psychologic aspect is considered multidirectional and is often seen as a determining factor in the formation of the psychology of the winner. It additionally leads to the improvement of physical, technical, and tactical skills. People tend to forget about the importance of the mental aspect because of the daily routine. At the same time, the actual necessity of psychological strength …
