Smart Nutrition and Conditioning for Kids (SNACK): An Interdisciplinary Approach to Early Health And Wellness Education
(2015)The purpose of the SNACK pilot study was to increase the fitness and health of children age 7-9 years of age in two Mercer county elementary schools. This was achieved by providing fundamental Integrative training (FIT) ... -
Sneak peek: Raptors search for prey using stochastic head turns
(Central Ornithology Publication Office, 2017)The strategies by which foraging predators decide when to redirect their gaze influence both prey detection rates and the prey's ability to detect and avoid predators. We applied statistical analyses that have been used ... -
Soccer playing robot goal scoring algorithm using Fuzzy Petri nets
(EasyChair, 2020-03-09)To facilitate the creation of a robotic soccer team, a robust kicking strategy and algorithm must be developed. Through the use of Fuzzy Petri nets, a strategy was made and developed into an algorithm to produce a 95% ... -
Social Reactions to Disclosure of Campus Sexual Assault and PTSD Symptoms among Black Female Undergraduates
(2020)Black women experience worse PTSD symptoms following campus sexual assault (CSA) compared to their White peers (Ullman & Filipas, 2001). They also receive worse reactions from others upon disclosure of the assault, likely ... -
Socio-Demographic and Coping Correlates of Depressive Symptoms among Low-Income and Ethnic Minority Mothers
(2020)In published studies, 15% to 75% of low-income and ethnic minority mothers report high levels of depressive symptoms in published studies. Few studies have explored socio-demographic and coping correlates of depressive ... -
Solar-powered frost prevention device
(2024)This research evaluates current frost prevention methods on a local farm and aims to design a green and sustainable alternative. The project develops a proof of concept using solar power to heat and circulate water through ... -
An SOR-like method for fast model predictive control
(Elsevier, 2017-07)In this paper, we propose an iterative first-order gradient method for fast and efficient implementation of Model Predictive Control (MPC). The proposed method utilizes a matrix-splitting scheme common to successive ... -
An SOR-like method for fast model predictive control
(2016)This project proposes an iterative first-order gradient method for solving convex quadratic programming problems, which involve the optimization of a quadratic function with multiple variables subject to linear constraints. ... -
Speaking out of both sides of their mouths: biased political judgments within (and between) individuals
(Sage Publications, 2015)The ideologically objectionable premise model posits that biased political judgments can emerge across the political spectrum. Previous tests of ideological differences in political judgment biases have utilized between-subjects ... -
Spectral energy distributions of evolved stars
(2023)A post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) is a type of evolved star. Someday, our Sun will likely evolve into this type of star. We expect to find post-AGB stars in shocked post-starburst galaxies (SPOGs) because SPOGs ... -
Spectroscopic, electrochemical, and kinetic trends in Fe(III)–thiolate autoredox reactions near physiological pH
(ChemRxiv, 2022-08-10)Substrate binding modes at thiol dioxygenase active sites have received increasing attention to better understand how selectivity and activation is achieved. Of particular interest is the substrate-binding mode within ... -
Splice Expression Variation Analysis (SEVA) for inter-tumor heterogeneity of gene isoform usage in cancer
(Oxford University Press, 2018)Motivation Current bioinformatics methods to detect changes in gene isoform usage in distinct phenotypes compare the relative expected isoform usage in phenotypes. These statistics model differences in isoform usage in ... -
Splicing and the SL(2,C) invariant
(American Mathematical Society, 2008)We establish a formula for the SL2(C) Casson invariant of spliced sums of homology spheres along knots. Along the way, we show that the SL2(C) Casson invariant vanishes for spliced sums along knots in S-3. -
Squid and lark interaction during Drosophila oogenesis
(2016)Drosophila melanogaster is used as a model organism to study the spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression. During oogenesis, proteins are produced and located in specific regions in order to develop a viable ...
