Two Synthetic Approaches to the Formation of Oxacalixarene-Annulene Hybrid Molecules
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationThe purpose of this work is to synthesize annulene-o,m,o,m-oxacalix[4]arene hybrid molecules which exist in a tweezer-like conformation with cofacial annulenes due to the chalice-like nature of oxacalixarenes. These hybrid molecules will provide insight on interactions between cofacial aromatic and antiaromatic annulenes. To develop the methodology for the synthesis of these annulene-oxacalixarene hybrids, a series p-substituted phenylethynyl-o,m,o,m-oxacalix[4]arenes are being prepared. This poster will discuss two different approaches to the synthesis of these compounds. In the first method, the Sonogashira coupling precedes oxacalixarene formation. In the second approach, a tetraiodo oxacalixarene undergoes Sonogashira coupling with appropriate phenylacetylenes.https://youtu.be/XPXkNXLeOJ
Language Effect on Impressions of Competence and Likability
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationIn our global village world, the United States, despite having the most linguistic diversity on the Earth, uses English in daily dealings as it is the accepted ideal. Although English is not recognized as an official language in the nation, the literature shows that negative stereotypes are attached to individuals with accented English. This study found that even when some languages’ actual words could not be determined, not only did the different languages affect how participants rated a multilingual speaker’s perceived competence and likability, but these ratings also differed based on country of origin of the participants.https://youtu.be/nQ0uTiOqiD

The New Redlining
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Though officially outlawed in 1968, the consequences of redlining policies are still felt in many communities within the United States today. An expression of systemic racism, redlining was the collusion of banks, with the guidance of the HOLC, to prohibit investment in predominantly minority
areas. Many neighborhoods that were once redlined districts are being gentrified today, with renovation efforts intentionally removing and displacing nonwhite, low- income communities in order to drive in more affluent, white investors. This research seeks to prove that gentrification is a modern manifestation of redlining in its discriminatory and oppressive motivations, practices, and
consequences."https://youtu.be/z2oH1ZDt5U

Childhood Obesity in Low Income Households
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Research shows that low- income households are more likely to be obese due to less nutrient dense food options in their restaurants, food pantries, and grocery stores. Previous studies have concluded that low SES plays a significant role in the Nations childhood obesity problem. Nutritious foods have become more expensive and less accessible over the years. While nutrient dense foods are expensive, low-cost diets are providing “more energy”. The results suggest that people need to be aware of what they are donating to food pantries and grocery stores in low-income areas need to have healthier cheaper options. Childhood obesity in low-income households is important because everyone deserves to have access to healthy options"https://youtu.be/LFWuj69L12
Dropout Rates Among Low Income Areas
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"What programs can be implemented to improve the dropout rate among students in low-income areas? The number of kids dropping out of high school is decreasing every year, but we can do more to keep the numbers going down. Society is failing to realize that every child is different and dealing with factors outside of school, some more than others. This is especially true in low- income areas. Some students don’t have access to the same resources provided to them as other students."https://youtu.be/jcxnrzpkyK
Disproportionate Incarceration of Communities of Color
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"In 2010, the ACLU found that black Americans were
3.73 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white Americans. What makes this statistic more striking is that marijuana usage is about the same between black and white Americans (ACLU). Black Americans are incarcerated at a rate of more than five times that of white Americans (NAACP). This project explores the connection between racial profiling and the disproportionate incarceration of black Americans and proposes how significant changes to law enforcement in the United States can foster a more just and equal penal system. I propose attainable changes that can be implemented with our law enforcement to lessen the disparities experienced by communities of color who are disproportionately affected by mass incarceration."https://youtu.be/hbtLC-qD3f
