Characterizing The Solar Sources Of Periodic Mesoscale Solar Wind Structures Responsible For Radiation Belt Particle Loss: Results And Implications For Space Weather Forecasting, Grace Gratton

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

It is now well-established that the ambient solar wind is dynamic and highly structured at mesoscales – scales larger than kinetic, but smaller than CMEs/SIRs. These structures are often created at the Sun and survive to 1 AU, where they form the ground-state of space weather as they continually buffet Earth's magnetosphere, the moon, and Mars. Two primary ways that mesoscale structures pose significant risks to spacecraft and astronauts are through driving radiation belt depletion, and amplifying the hazards of CMEs and SIRs through upstream solar wind preconditioning. Characterizing the solar origins and solar wind properties of geoeffective mesoscale structures …

Evidence For Robustness Of Synchronous Hatching Consensus Algorithm: Examining New Model Parameters And New Fault Types, Grace Gratton, Morgan Kendall

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Robustness to faulted agents in consensus algorithms within a multi-agent system is a critical requirement for reliable systems. Faulted agents can compromise the swarm, leading to catastrophic consequences, including economic impacts and possible loss of life. Therefore, it is critical to develop robust consensus algorithms to ensure the security and reliability of the systems we rely upon. Biologically Inspired Design previously led to the Synchronous Hatching Consensus Algorithm, which was robust up to 20% faulted agents reporting false positives, but not robust to faulted agents reporting false negatives. This work builds upon the previous model by increasing robustness to both …

Paschen Curves Of Glow Discharges In Different Gas Compositions, Seth Gerow

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Our work focuses on low current, low temperature plasma discharges: glow and corona. Townsend theory predicts that the critical voltage to initiate a gas breakdown (i.e., a "spark") between two parallel plate electrodes is dependent on the product of the pressure and distance; consequently, variations in either parameter which results in the same product, pd, do not affect the breakdown voltage. In this work, we present Paschen curves of narrow-to-wide electrode glow discharges in two gas mediums, argon and air. These curves show a deviation from theoretical predictions, such that changes in electrode configuration create a uniform shift of the …

Introducing A Test Of Audience And Message: A Strategic Reassessment Of Wmd Non-State Terrorism, Brianne Bernhardt

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Defense and intelligence communities continue to face the persistent challenge of assessing which non-state terrorist groups may employ weapons of mass destruction (WMD). With an overwhelming influx of information, this question remains difficult for analysts to answer with precision. Existing non-state terrorist WMD threat assessment models tend to rely on post-hoc analysis or speculative forecasting and lack scalable, data-driven frameworks for proactive evaluation. This paper addresses that gap by proposing an empirical testing of a theoretical model by Dr. Daniel Gressang, which suggests that determining three key variables—a group’s audience, message, and societal relationship—may allow analysts to assess the potential …

I Don’T Remember: Measuring The Frequency And Impact Of Source Recall In Misinformation Correction, Emily K. Vraga, Leticia Bode

Newhouse Impact Journal

It is broadly established that source cues matter for establishing information credibility (Pornpitakpan, 2004). Therefore, it is hardly surprising that when thinking about methods to address and correct misinformation, many scholars have pointed to the importance of source cues (Cook et al., 2017; Lewandowsky & van der Linden, 2021; Literat et al., 2021; Shen et al., 2019). But this research is plagued by inconsistent findings about which kinds of sources tend to be the most effective correctors (e.g., Berinsky, 2023; van der Meer & Jin, 2020; Vraga & Bode, 2017). We argue that research has not adequately accounted for recall …

10 Ways To Think About How We Should Teach Ai, Margaret Talev

Newhouse Impact Journal

What, how and why should we teach our students about generative AI? This article reviews news coverage, reports, and announcements by schools, universities and companies to assemble a national snapshot, in 2025, of how K-12 schools and higher ed institutions already are developing AI instruction; the involvement of AI companies in educational partnerships and related considerations; and what employers, and workers, expect in terms of job trends and readiness.

Building Better Voters? Using Ai To Develop Civic Skills, Emily Sydnor

Newhouse Impact Journal

Generative AI offers an opportunity for people to build a variety of civic skills outside of the traditional K-12 education system. In this paper, I test an AI chatbot's ability to provide me with relevant candidate and procedural information in advance of the 2025 Virginia gubernatorial elections. While the experience was overwhelmingly positive and could easily be adapted for naturalized citizens or American adults moving from state to state or to a new locality, it also highlights concerns about the possibility of hallucinations and reinforcement of existing inequalities in politics and society.

Face And Content Validation Analysis Of The Professional Pain Preparation Questionnaire For Use In Physical Therapist Education, Rodiel Kirby Baloy

Journal of Innovation in Health Sciences Education

Introduction: Physical therapy educational preparation for the management of individuals in pain may be determined based on the themes of: (1) level of academic preparation, (2) educational hours spent studying pain, including postgraduate training and certification, and (3) clinical experience. This study assessed the face and content validity of a tool, the Professional Pain Preparation Questionnaire (PPP-Q), to assess expert perception as to the value and relevance of each of the identified domains.

Methods: Twelve respondents were enlisted for face validity, and five experts were recruited for content validity. Descriptive statistics, specifically frequency and percentage, were used to describe …
