Seven Computational Science Problems Related to Shaped Polymer Fibers
Get PDFModeling of capillary-channeled polymer fibers related to 1) particulate filtration, 2) average inter-fiber distance calculation, 3) flow and transport, 4) virtual domain set-up, 5) extrusion, 6) wicking, and 7) optimal shape determinatio
Attachment to God as a Function of Mortality Salience and Intrinsic Religiosity
Get PDFThe present study examined the association between intrinsic religiosity and attachment to God following mortality salience. Participants (N = 158) consisted of Christian individuals who were asked to complete the Religious Orientation Scale (Allport & Ross, 1967) as a measure of intrinsic religiosity, a word search puzzle to prime either death-related or neutral words, and the Attachment to God Inventory (Beck & McDonald, 2004). A moderated regression found a significant interaction between MS and intrinsic religiosity on avoidant but not anxious attachment to God. Specifically, following reminders of death, low intrinsic individuals were more avoidant toward God compared to high intrinsic individuals. These findings suggest that MS is associated with bolstering religious beliefs in order to cope with existential anxieties
Synthesis of alkynyl tetrafluoro-pyridyl ligands
No full textTuning emissive transition metal (TM) compounds has direct application in developing efficient optical devices. Alkynyl ligands can be used to tune emission properties of their corresponding TM compounds. Synthetic methods were tried and discussed
Envisioning success
No full textWe are utilizing episodic future thinking as an encoding strategy to evaluate if individuals, with varied working memory abilities, will be more likely to complete their goal motivated prospective memory tasks in a naturalistic setting
Boundary, costs and trade-offs in reserve design systems
No full textWe formulate a reserve design model that minimizes the distance between reserve sites meeting a threshold of biodiversity features subject to a species coverage constraint. We perform numerical analysis to study efficient selection of boundary sites
Empowering students as critical thinkers through social media production and management
No full textThe project aims to empower students to create and manage their own social media content. The project will encourage students to share a part of themselves with the world through building their digital portfolio on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitte
Photoacoustic thermometer: frequency shift of the photoacoustic signal due to analyte temperature variation
No full textThis study describes how temperature affects the photoacoustic signal produced by ethene in order to develop a PA thermometer. A CO2 laser was used with a chopper to modulate the laser light. The signal was observed within a 65°C range
Alcohol use problems, anxiety, and aggression in an undergraduate population
No full textAlcohol use problems (AUP), anxiety, and aggression are notable on college campuses. We found a stronger relation between AUPs and aggression among students with high, versus lower, social anxiety
The Ice Age colonization of the Americas: recent findings and future directions
No full textIt has long been thought that the Americas were colonized ~13,000 years ago via a land bridge between Asia and North America. This presentation summarizes recent findings and presents new data that challenge this long-held notion
