In Pursuit Of A Good Night’S Rest. Steps Towards Improving Electroencephalogram (Eeg) Accessibility And Affordability, Niyant Vora
In Pursuit Of A Good Night’S Rest. Steps Towards Improving Electroencephalogram (Eeg) Accessibility And Affordability, Niyant Vora
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
The Electroencephalogram (EEG), which is used to effectively record brain waves, has long been a key pillar of sleep research. However, sleep research has an important problem–the natural environment in which people sleep (their bedrooms), is not where sleep research is conducted. Several companies have released EEG headsets to try and address this problem, however, there are still many obstacles to home use. Such headsets are too expensive to be used by everyone and are still not effective enough to be utilized by physicians performing sleep studies. The goal of our research is to find affordable and innovative ways to …

Contact Angle Measurement, Wenting Zhao, Mark Liffiton, Faculty Advisor
Contact Angle Measurement, Wenting Zhao, Mark Liffiton, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
The Contact angle, where a liquid/vapor interface meets a solid surface[wiki], has been widely used to measure the wettability of a surface in physics and chemistry. Scientists place a drop on a surface of interest, take an image of the drop in profile, and measure the angle the drop makes with the surface. We have developed a Contact Angle Measurement plugin for the ImageJ image analysis framework, which provides researchers a easier way to access experiment data. The major goal of our algorithm is to automatically detect drops and surfaces via image analysis, so that we can calculate the contact …

Multidecompositions Of Complete Graphs Into A Graph Pair Of Order 6, Yizhe Gao, Mark Daniel Roberts, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
A graph is a mathematical structure consisting of a set of objects called vertices and a set of 2-element subsets of vertices, called edges. The complete graph on n vertices is the graph with n vertices and an edge between any pair of distinct vertices. Let C6 denote the cycle on 6 vertices. We are interested in partitioning the edges of the complete graph on n vertices into copies of C6 and its complement with at least one copy of each graph. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions on n for the existence such a structure.

Particle trapping is a state-of-the-art technology, which already a powerful tool for scientists working with micro- and nano-components. Much interest now revolves around length scales where quantum mechanical effects become pronounced. Quantum mechanics forms our only framework for understanding many problems in solid-state physics (e.g., magnetism), and is playing an ever more important role in applied chemistry, biochemistry and many other areas. Trapping technologies provide a test bed for systematic exploration of fundamental paradigms, offering enhancements to our understanding of key mechanisms and, perhaps, opportunities for quantum information technology. We have assembled a Newtonian Lab demonstration trap, demonstrating …
Quantification And Scavenging Ability Of Antioxidants In Bottled Tea, Jennifer Prochotsky, Manori Perera Faculty Advisor
Quantification And Scavenging Ability Of Antioxidants In Bottled Tea, Jennifer Prochotsky, Manori Perera Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Bottled tea is made from brewed leaves of the Camelia sinensis plant. These leaves contain molecules called polyphenols that have aromatic rings with many alcohol groups. Different fermentation processes of the leaves lead to different types of tea, including black, oolong, green, and white tea. The polyphenols present in bottled tea have antioxidant properties, which have been seen to prevent certain types of diseases. Antioxidants work by stabilizing highly unstable free radicals, which are missing an electron in their orbital. Different studies have concluded contradictory results about which type of tea contains the highest quantity of antioxidants. There has been …

Detection And Quantification Of Lead And Copper In Firearm Harvested Ground Venison Intended For Human Consumption, Chris Crown, Manori Perera Faculty Advisor, Given Harper Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Most White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Illinois are harvested with firearms that use lead or copper shotgun slugs or muzzleloader bullets, which may fragment when they strike bone. Lead is a neurotoxin to both humans and animals that scavenge deer that have escaped from hunters, and excess amounts of copper ingestion can impair lipid and DNA function. In a preliminary study in 2014, packets of ground venison from firearm and bow hunters in Illinois were x-rayed, and six out of ten firearm-harvested packets contained possible metal fragments. The purpose of this study is to utilize Anodic Stripping Voltammetry …

Optical Cloaking By Aberation Correction, Joseph Richards, Julia Savich, Gabriel C. Spalding, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Light incident on a material is scattered and then continues its propagation in seemingly random directions. If one can force light to pass through a material and not scatter, however, then one could “see” through the material. This scattering of light can be described as aberration within the light. A technique used for “Aberration Correction” is adding phase-shifts to regions of light allowing for all wave fronts of light to interfere in a constructive manner. This is accomplished in the use of a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM). The SLM, an array of linearly aligned crystals, allow for added phase shifts …
