002-Biodiesel Production from Chlorella Vulgaris and Synechococcus
Get PDFFossil fuels are the largest contributors to global climate change, accounting for nearly 75% of total greenhouse gas emissions. A green energy solution can be found in autotrophs, which both sequester carbon in their growth and can be made into biodiesel.Chlorella vulgarishas been studied for lipid extraction and production, both of which were made more efficient through means of culturing the algae in different media and by evaluating the biodiesel produced via IR spectroscopies.Synechococcus,a genus of cyanobacteria that grows prolifically in Conesus Lake, may be an even better source of fuel thanC. vulgarisbecause it grows at a rate nearly twice as fast and is known to be a strong carbon sequester. (This species has not yet been specified, but is believed to be of thevulcanococcusspecies.) Growth ofSynechococcuswas observed in a variety of media and it was determined that BG-11 fosters the most prolific growth.Synechococcusphospholipids will be extracted from dead cells and converted into biodiesel using a transesterification process. Finally, we will compare our results fromSynechococcuswith previous studies onC. vulgaristo determine which organism is the better source of biodiesel
011-Emotion Regulation and Social Media Motives as Mediators of Attachment and Problematic Social Media Use
Get PDFOur study examined the role of insecure attachment on social media addiction and stalking behaviors, with emotional regulation strategies and motives for social media use as mediators. Results indicated that anxious attachment significantly predicted both social media addiction and stalking, whereas avoidant attachment did not. Anxious attachment also significantly predicted emotional dysregulation and deactivation, as well as three social media use motives (fear of missing out, escapism, and validation). Mediation analyses revealed that emotional dysregulation and two social media motives (escape, boost self-esteem) fully mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and social media addiction and partially mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and social media stalking. More specifically, anxiously attached individuals were more likely to experience higher levels of emotional dysregulation, which predicted using social media to escape and to boost their self-esteem. These motives then predicted both social media addiction and stalking.Implications of our results for both our understanding of attachment and problematic social media use, as well as potential interventions are discussed
212-Alpine Vegetation in the Adirondacks (NYS)
Get PDFAlpine zones are high mountain environments with limited vegetation and weather conditions comparable to arctic regions. The types of vegetation found in alpine zones are unique because they have adapted to the extreme environment. Various types of shrubs are found in the alpine region of the Adirondacks because of their ability to resist frost anddesiccation, and they often grow low to the ground and stay relatively small at their full size. Many alpine zones are a part of national parks or protected areas, such as theAdirondack Park of New York State. The purpose of this project was to map the prevalence of unique alpine species on Adirondack alpine summits. It emphasizes the spatial patterns of these species and where they are most and least commonly found. Data were recorded from iNaturalist, a citizen science platform, on eight species of rare alpine vegetation: Alpine Goldenrod (Solidago leiocarpa), Alpine Sweetgrass (Anthoxanthum monticola), Bearberry Willow (Salix uva-ursi), Bigelow’s Sedge (Carex bigelowii), Black Crowberry (Empetrum nigrum), Diapensia (Diapensia lapponica), Highland Rush (Oreojuncus trifidus), and Lapland rosebay (Rhododendron lapponicum). After selecting the species, data collected from each alpine summit was organized into data tables, showing how many times each species was observed per summit. Summits were mapped and results were presented as a proportional-symbols pie-chart map. Results show mountains Whiteface, Algonquin, and Wright had the highest numbers of unique species, and Diapensia, Alpine Goldenrod, and Bearberry Willow were observed most often. This project highlights the rarity and fragility of alpine vegetation on Adirondack alpine summits
Psychology and the Digital Everywhere: Artificial Intelligence
Get PDFThis module within the PSYC 390: Psychology and the Digital Everywhere course investigates the the implications of AI on human experiences using a biopsychosocial lens. Topics covered include an exploration of AI as a tool versus as an autonomous mind, ethical considerations of AI usage, and the promises and pitfalls of AI as a tool within the field of psychology. This module aligns with the Contemporary Global Challenges, Creativity and Innovation Participation in a Global Society outcome within the Geneseo GLOBE Curriculum
