How do Soil Salt Solutions Affect the Growth of Wisconsin Fast Plants
No full textExcess salt in soils can hinder plant growth by interfering with water uptake leading to nutrient imbalances and plant death. We measured several parameters such as height, leaf size, and biomass of the mustard, Brassica rapa. Preliminary results did not reveal a consistent growth response across treatments. After collecting the data, we observed that salt negatively impacted the growth in both the 2 ppt and 15 ppt treatments. However, the 10 ppt treatment was an outlier, showing no apparent negative effects on growth despite the salt being applied.​Biological SciencesC.Eric, Hellquis
Examining the Growth of Dictyostelium discoideum in Media with Plant-Derived Nitrogen Sources
No full textDictyostelium discoideum, a social amoeba, is a model for studying cell migration. Growing cells in media with plant-derived nitrogen sources may offer a more sustainable alternative to standard animal-derived products. This study aims to compare D. discoideum growth in media with plant- vs. animal-derived proteose peptone, with or without amino acid supplementation.Biological SciencesArtemenko, Yuli
REGRESSION MODEL FOR FASTING PLASMA GLUCOSE (FPG) PREDICTION
Get PDFThis study applies machine learning to enhance early detection of metabolic risks by predicting FPG levels from key health indicators. By evaluating different models, it improves predictive accuracy, enabling data-driven interventions for diabetes prevention and more effective health management.Biomedical and Health InformaticsWang, Xiaolian
Everest: A Contextual Habit Tracker Using SMART Goals
No full textEverest Habit Tracker helps users reach long-term goals by breaking them into SMART subgoals and steps. It emphasizes contextual tracking -- linking daily actions to broader goals -- over streaks. A visual roadmap shows progress, promoting clarity and motivation. The project explores if this structure improves consistency, with limited AI-driven engagement analysis.Computer ScienceLee, Jae Woon
Rhythms of Resistance, Noise & Nation: The Role of Music in Shaping Caribbean Identities
No full textThis poster traces the transformation of sound in the Caribbean -- from a colonial instrument of control and religious discipline to a powerful medium of cultural memory, resistance, and national identity. It highlights how music evolved from enforcing European norms to empowering communities and expressing post-independence Caribbean identity.Modern Languages and LiteraturesRojo, Rosel
Examination of radio emission changes in pulsar PSR J1713+0747
Get PDFPulsars are one type of neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation with a rate proportional to their rotational speed. This rotational speed can be measured with a precision of up to 10^{-15} seconds. This precision and stability makes pulsars prime candidates for the search for nanohertz gravitational waves. The goal of this research project is to examine radio data of the recycled pulsar PSR J1713+0747 observed with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). This pulsar is one of the leading objects used for the search for nanohertz gravitational waves. We examine single pulse data which contains individual rotations of the pulsar. We compile the average emission of this pulsar (known as profile emission) to extract the emission windows of single pulses. We extract the arrival times of single pulses to search for indicators of timing deviations. That way, we are investigating whether recent emission mode changes in the case of this pulsar can be predicted in advance to account for during gravitational wave searches.Physics and Astronomical SciencesLewandowska, Natali
Predictive Modeling of HIV Diagnosis Rates Using Machine Learning Techniques
Get PDFIn this study, a machine learning model is developed to predict HIV diagnosis rates based on demographic and geographic factors. Regression methods, including Linear Regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost, are used to assess data on age, gender, race, state, and county. The findings back up focused measures to reduce transmission and the distribution of resources in public health campaigns.Biomedical and Health InformaticsBichindaritz, Isabell
a home.
No full textThis thesis explores the quiet tensions and emotional distance within the domestic space through a series of black-and-white photographs taken in my family home. The work examines themes of belonging, identity, and the transformation of familial relationships over time. Without using self-portraiture, I present this series through a first-person point of view - everything is seen through my eyes, not as a member of the family unit, but as an observer, a stranger within the house. Through still portraits of my parents, details of ordinary rooms, and the quiet movements of my cat, the photographs trace the emotional shifts that occur within spaces that once felt familiar. Rather than focusing on dramatic moments, the images reveal subtle instances of disconnect, memory, and change - offering a visual reflection on the fragile, often unspoken dynamics that shape family life.Purchase College SUNYPhotographyBachelor of Fine ArtsBriner, Timoth
Systemic Racial Inequalities in American Ballet: What is Being Done to Fix It?
No full textBallet sets the tone for what dance is; not only is it the first style people think of and see, but it also holds the foundation a dancer needs for every other style of dance. Unfortunately, there is much systemic oppression in the professional ballet world. When black ballet dancers were featured for the first time as premiere ballerinas in the 1930's-50's, they were made to powder their skin, to have it appear lighter (Jacolb, J). There are still extremely recent findings of a gender wage gap among artistic directors in the top 50 largest ballet companies (Dancedata). These inequalities, though seen in different ways today, are still heavily prevalent, likely due to the rigid and strict nature of ballet.Purchase College SUNYArts ManagementBachelor of ArtsForstrom, Meliss
Analysis of the Pokémon Card Market During COVID-19
No full textIn the perspective of the average Pokémon card collector, the coronavirus pandemic created a long lasting impact on the card market that would make it increasingly difficult to obtain cards at the time. There were various factors that contributed to the difficulty in obtaining cards, such as influencers to make the hobby become appealing to those that were not already collecting, and supplies that are used to make these cards dwindling down because of the pandemic. Through the analysis of market data through the usage of spreadsheets and various graphs from the years prior to the pandemic, as well as during the pandemic and post pandemic, we are able to conclude as to why the pandemic had such a significant long term impact on the market, and the hobby as a whole, due to many different factors such as nostalgia, scalping, and production decreasing to make these cards because of the lockdowns that were implemented for the pandemic.Purchase College SUNYMathematics & Computer ScienceBachelor of ArtsTunyan, Knari
