The Forecast of the Solar System and the Cosmic Boneyard
Full text linkThis research highlights two planetarium shows: The Forecast of the Solar System and The Cosmic Boneyard. While Earth's weather is extreme and dynamic, it pales in comparison to the violent atmospheres of other planets and celestial objects. Stellar Evolution & the Cosmic Boneyard delves into the "zombies' of the cosmos -- neutron stars, white dwarfs, and black holes -- featuring extreme densities, exotic physics, and immersive perspectives. This presentation poster showcases visuals from both shows and key concepts in meteorology and stellar evolution.AstronomyLewandowska, Natali
Machine learning based Insights over Mental Health for Tech Industry Employees
Full text linkThis study uses survey data to create a predictive model that can identify people who require mental health therapy. SVM, XGBoost, Random Forest, and other machine learning models are trained and their efficacy assessed. Interpretability, feature significance, and actionable insights are prioritized in order to improve accessibility to early intervention and therapy.Biomedical and Health InformaticsWang, Xiaolian
Impacts of Adirondack Geomorphic Features and Lithology Contrasts on Surface Water Chemistry
Full text linkGeomorphic surface features can alter the chemistry of infiltrating waters and affect downstream water quality. In this study, we analyzed waters collected from landslides in the Adirondack Mountains. In contrast to tectonically active regions, results show that landslides have fewer dissolved solids and are more acidic than nearby forested streams.Atmospheric and Geological SciencesSlosson, J.R
The Effect of Female Round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) Size on Startle Response
Full text linkRound gobies are an invasive freshwater species; identifying the behavioral habits of female gobies is important to invasion patterns. We hypothesized that larger female gobies have a lower response to a startle. We found no significant relationship between size and startle response, suggesting size may not impact invasion.Biological SciencesLange, Elizabeth C
Investigating Mode Switching in PSR J1909-3744
Full text linkThis research project is focused on the millisecond pulsar PSR J1909-3744, the most precisely timed pulsar in pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments. Recently, the pulsar showed a change in its average emission, switching from a strong to a weak emission mode, during an exceptionally bright scintillation event. Past observations indicate that the weak emission mode arrives 9.26 ± 3.94 μs earlier than the strong emission mode (Miles et al. 2022). Additionally, they provided a new value of jitter noise (8.20 ± 0.14 ns per hour) for this pulsar. These findings have implications for improving pulsar timing models, which are crucial for enhancing the sensitivity of gravitational wave background searches, as well as the overall impact of similar timing improvements on PTA pulsars. The goal of this research project is to examine the pulsar's average emission and single pulses and extract the respective arrival times to search for indicators of emission mode changes. The applied methods include the extraction of single pulse arrival times using algorithms resulting from the pulsar software package PSRCHIVE and the calculation of phases of occurrence, intensity, fluences, pulse shapes, and equivalent pulse widths using existing Python scripts.Physics and Astronomical SciencesLewandowska, Natali
Using Social Media to Raise Awareness and Increase Inclusivity for Neurodiversity
Full text linkThis creative project combines core theories from psychology and public relations to raise awareness about neurodiversity, promote inclusivity, and reduce stigma through social media. An Instagram advocacy account was designed through constructing branding guidelines and content direction that builds a sense of community and relatability by sharing real stories.Psychological SciencesBovier, Emil
UFLI Foundations Literacy Assessment and Intervention
Full text linkThis project was intended to act as a Tier II intervention for a student performing below grade level in oral reading fluency. I was able to conduct an initial assessment, followed by diagnostics to pinpoint where the student was most challenged. Over the course of 20 UFLI Foundations lessons, I aimed to increase the student's foundational reading skills and provide tools to help her read longer words.Curriculum and InstructionMazzye, Doree
Impact of Health Home and transition of care programs on diabetic patients' care and health outcomes
Full text linkA small proportion of patients accounts for a disproportionately large share of healthcare spending,
often due to multiple chronic conditions and frequent hospital use. In response, New York State
implemented the Health Home (HH) program to improve care coordination and reduce
unnecessary hospital utilization among high-need Medicaid enrollees. This study evaluated
whether early and consistent access to Primary Care Providers (PCPs) and care coordinators
through the HH program improves outcomes for patients with diabetes mellitus and high acute
care use, specifically by reducing hospital admissions and shortening the length of stay for
readmissions.
A retrospective cohort study was conducted using electronic medical record (EMR) data from a
major New York healthcare system, including 16,229 diabetic patients eligible for Health Home
(HH) services. The data were limited to patients over the age of 19 who were eligible for Health
Home services during hospital visits between June 1, 2018, and December 31, 2019. The objective
was to evaluate whether the HH program, developed by New York State to improve outcomes for
high-need Medicaid patients, is achieving its intended goals. The following outcome measures
were explored: hospital readmissions within 60 days post-discharge, the number of days from
discharge to readmission, and the length of stay for readmitted visits. Covariates included age
group, gender, race/ethnicity, primary language, marital status, LACE index (Length of stay,
Acuity of admission, Comorbidities, and recent Emergency department use), and comorbidities
indicated by the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). All analyses were conducted using SAS
software.
The study found that enrollment in Health Home (HH) was significantly associated with an
increase in the likelihood of readmission within 60 days in the unadjusted model (estimate =
1.0720, p <0.0001). After adjusting for race/ethnicity, age range, LACE, and CCI as confounders,
the association remained significant, though attenuated (estimate =0.923; p<0.0001). Regarding
the number of days between index admission and readmission, the unadjusted model indicated that
HH enrollment significantly decreased the days between index discharge and readmission within
60 days, with an estimated -1.22 days (p = 0.0234). However, after accounting for LACE and CCI
as confounders, the association between HH enrollment and days to readmission was no longer
statistically significant (estimate = - 0.86, p = 0.1122). Similarly, the association between HH
enrollment and length of stay (LOS) for readmitted visits was positive (estimate 0. 234, p= 0. 044);
however, after controlling for age group, LACE, and CCI as confounders, it was no longer
statistically significant (p= 0.493) and the relationship was reversed (estimate = -0.077). The
findings suggest that demographic factors (specifically race/ethnicity and patient age), prior high
utilization of hospital services (indicated by LACE score), and clinical burden (as indicated by
CCI) significantly influence readmission outcomesindependent of HH program enrollment. While
the unadjusted associations appeared statistically significant, the adjusted models underscore the
role of these confounders. The results highlight the need for more tailored interventions that
account for patients' demographic and clinical risk profiles to improve outcomes among diabetic
patients enrolled in the HH program.VoRSUNY DownstateEpidemiologyN/AReynolds, SimoneRosenberg, CarlEhlke, Danie
