ATU Research Symposium
The Graduate College would like to update the current faculty search page to filter search results by Department and Research in addition to Name. With the current system, a person who wanted to find an unknown professor based upon a department or an interest in research topic would be unable to search because the only option is to type the professor's name. We have created a website linked to a database containing graduate faculty that is able to search by name, filter by department, and search through the professors' listed research topics. This website will be much more useful and …

The Collapse Of Lehman Brothers And The Economic Fallout, Mark Kuykendall, Lauren Leroy
ATU Research Symposium
This research paper analyzes the causes and effects of the bankruptcy of the investment banking company, Lehman Brothers. We examined the economic and financial conditions of the business leading up to the collapse, what they truly were and how that differed from what investors were misled to believe. We will also explain the falsified financial statements and show how they deceived investors, along with the accounting ethics and rules that were violated. We also discussed the economy after the collapse and how it affected not only investors, but others outside the company as well.
Marketing Campaign For Pope County Habitat For Humanity, Hailey Addison
Marketing Campaign For Pope County Habitat For Humanity, Hailey Addison
ATU Research Symposium
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that assists families by building them homes. Habitat raises funds, interviews families in need and chooses a candidate, builds a home, and then gives the house to the family. What sets this organization however, is that they give a “hand up, not a hand out”. Instead of just giving them a house, they require the family to help build it. Also, the family is expected to pay an affordable mortgage back to Habitat. This philosophy promotes a sense of ownership in these new homeowners, and hopefully that will encourage them to take good …

Environmental And Agricultural Effects On Waterfowl Population In Arkansas, Caleb Sipes, Ellison Stephens, Marissa Young
ATU Research Symposium
This paper discusses some of the positive and negative effects of environmental and agricultural influences on the waterfowl population in the state of Arkansas. Waterfowl hunting has been a prominent source of revenue to the state of Arkansas for many decades. Waterfowl hunting will continue to be prominent in this state in future as long as Arkansans maintain and preserve the natural resources here as well as use our own to further progress the waterfowl industry in Arkansas. Through aerial surveying, requiring hunters to purchase licenses and stamps to legally hunt waterfowl, and conservation efforts from the Arkansas Game and …
Critical Appraisal: Hospital Price Transparency Of Acute Care Hospitals, Raegan Parker, Kylie Moore
Critical Appraisal: Hospital Price Transparency Of Acute Care Hospitals, Raegan Parker, Kylie Moore
ATU Research Symposium
A rule implemented by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in January 2021 states that acute care hospitals are required to post online a machine-readable file that makes changes in hospital price transparency. It aims to improve the affordability of hospital care by promoting price competition. The hospitals that are compliant with the Hospital Price Transparency Final Rule will facilitate online price shopping for patients by making prices for services available. We reviewed the research to explain the purpose of determining how compliant acute care hospitals have been with the Hospital Price Transparency Final Rule since its implementation. A …
Utilization Of Beta-Agonists On The Effects Of Marbling / Fat Deposition In Beef Cattle, Rafael Andrade, Sara Erby, Blaine Holzman
Utilization Of Beta-Agonists On The Effects Of Marbling / Fat Deposition In Beef Cattle, Rafael Andrade, Sara Erby, Blaine Holzman
ATU Research Symposium
In the beef industry, producers have tried to find ways to optimize production and performance for the benefit of their beef cattle operations. To do that, if they wished to, they would use modernizing technologies that are available today. With these modern technologies, such as Beta – androgenic agonists, producers have been able to utilize these to see the positive effects of marbling and fat deposition. They act to enhance lean muscle gain, increase growth rate in the animals, and increase feed efficiency without having to use extra inputs, needed supplements, or compensation for gain. By using these technologies, they …

Avian Influenza In The United States And It's Ramifications On Our Market In The Poultry Industry, Alaini C. Carrington, Jada Trotter, Savannah Sanders
ATU Research Symposium
While researching Avian Influenza (AI) in the United States, we have found that it has significantly impacted 47 states. Four main AI types have an impact on poultry farms. Avian Influenza can be reduced by taking preventative methods such as biosecurity and culling birds to have a healthy flock on the farm. Since 2022 egg-laying hens have been affected by the Avian Influenza Virus, causing egg inventories to become lower. Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has affected farmers tremendously; because of this, farmers must worry about their families' source of income, their workers and the workers' families' source of income, …

Benefits Of Growth Hormone Implants In Beef Cattle, Brody Jones, Jaxsen Franco, Riley Knight
ATU Research Symposium
Using growth hormone implants in beef cattle producers could combat the decreasing market supply that is currently being experienced in the United States (US). Growth hormone implants increases individual cattle weight by 15 to 20 percent, produces the same amount of product using fewer head of cattle. This study provides an insight into the benefit of using growth hormone implants in the production of beef cattle. The paper takes a look at the rising costs of input prices, cattle market supply in the US, and the effects these implants had on beef cattle of varying species and environments. Most of …

Utilizing Vr Scenarios To Aid Student Empathy In Challenging Interactions, Peter M. Unwer
ATU Research Symposium
This project will enable faculty in the Parks, Recreation and Hospitality Administration program at Arkansas Tech University to implement virtual reality training into the existing curriculum to ensure students are better prepared for the mental demands of the field. Through creating hospitality and tourism virtual reality scenarios, this will aid in the hands on teaching for our students to better understand the complexities within the industry that a typical classroom cannot provide. For example, Hilton recently partnered with a company called Sweet Rush to create a virtual hotel experience for team members. The project was a success, reporting 87% of …
