Statistical Comparison Between Observational Data and Simulated Gravitational Waves
Get PDFThe goal of this project is to determine the effective accuracy of a simulation that graphs the gravitational waves emitted from a binary system. The Python program that creates these graphs uses different analytical models to approximate each phase of the model, inspiral and merger. Data from the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center (GWOSC) website regarding an observed event is used to compare to the output of the simulation. Another Python program matches up the two waveforms and calculates a correlation coefficient between the two, which is close to 1, as desired. Additional graphs are simulated using masses that differ from the observed event and when compared with it, produce much lower correlation coefficients, supporting the accuracy of the simulation
COVID-19 Pandemic Effects on the Environment
Get PDFThe coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been a constant in everyone’s lives for almost the past three years now and has embedded itself into basically every part of global society and norms. The main areas where this is evident are in the major disruptions in the economic, social, and public health sectors of the world. There is one other area that has been affected by this prolonged pandemic in a multitude of ways, the environment. Our environment, both globally and regionally, has seen both positive and negative effects throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in a variety of different areas. These studied effects are direct or indirect results of changes to policy or social norms seen throughout the past few years caused by the global pandemic. The affected areas of research include noticeable changes in air quality, water pollution, and plastic waste along with a number of other important environmental topics. The purpose of this literature review is to summarize and assess the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the environment from many different perspectives as well as briefly discuss future implications of the findings as well as possible research

Breaking down barriers: Practicing silent discussions in the classroom
Get PDFWhile full-class oral discussions may be beneficial for some students, there may also be others in classrooms who may feel uncomfortable with participating in discussions such as these for a myriad of reasons. These reasons often extend beyond the negative assumption of students not caring about classroom content. In my own classroom, one discussion practice that I have had the opportunity to utilize with success is that of a “silent discussion,” a discussion that is both independent and silent, while allowing for written interaction amongst peers. Breaking down barriers for students and allowing for greater opportunities for active engagement through a silent discussion may serve students well and may allow educators a better opportunity to meet students in contexts that they may be more comfortable with
