The Spatial Distribution of Antique Car Dealerships in the Southern United States
Authors: Messenger Garrett , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

This project examines the environmental and socioeconomic variables for why antique car dealerships are located in specific cities of the United States. The project looks at these variables to see if antique car dealerships are located in cities with high median income, high populations of people 65 years and older, high average temperatures, and low annual precipitation. Data were obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, National Centers for Environmental Information, and Yellow Pages. Data were entered into ArcGIS and Excel for map creation and correlation analysis. The results do not show strong correlations between the number of antique car dealerships and the other variables. This study did accomplish creating a map depicting relative locations of antique car dealerships in the southern U.S. Future studies can examine new variables for possible trends in the locations of antique car dealerships.
Integrating Geographic and Prehistoric Data to Determine Conservation Needs and Reintroduction Potential for the Guam Kingfisher
Authors: Kingwill Christopher , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Conservation efforts for native birds on the island of Guam are currently being hindered by the invasive brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) which has decimated the island’s native bird populations. Many of Guam’s endemic bird species, including the Guam kingfisher (Todiramphus cinnamominus), are now extinct and others are critically endangered. A habitat suitability analysis of Guam using physiographic datasets with respect to habitat preferences of the Guam kingfisher was carried out, using raster analysis in ArcMap 10.8.1. Results found suitable habitat that still existed in northern Guam, which correlated to this bird’s previously disjunct geographic range. These potential areas of habitation for the kingfisher also correlated to fossil remains of this species, derived from the northernmost point of the island. These results from associating environmental data and this bird’s limited fossil distribution on the island through cartographic methods offer a snapshot into the potential to reintroduce this species into the wild once the brown tree snake epidemic is mitigated.
RNA Interference of X Box Binding Protein 1 in Acyrthosiphon pisum
Authors: Lutgen Jacob , Ridder Jared , Balthazor James , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum , are a significant pest to legumes Febaceae throughout the world, primarily due to the species serving as a vector to many Febaceae viruses. Current management of A. pisum includes use of insecticides and the introduction of natural predators, neither of which is ideal because it can have detrimental effects on organisms other than A. pisum . The utilization of RNA Interference (RNAi) presents an alternative, pest specific targeting of A. pisum . X Box Binding Protein 1 (XBP1) is involved in the regulation of the unfolded protein response to promote proper folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). RNAi targeting the XBP1 gene could result in the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER lumen, which downstream results in death of the cell and organism. RNA was isolated from A. pisum and reverse transcribed to synthesize cDNA. The cDNA was used as a template for XBP1 primers to synthesize XBP1 dsRNA for use in RNAi feeding studies. RNA interference of XBP1 resulted in a fifty percent decrease in fecundity and a thirty percent decrease in survival of Acyrthosiphon pisum . RNA interference of XBP1 has shown to be a promising alternative to the management of A. pisum
Effects of Audiobooks and Group Discussion in Inclusive Special Education

Published: August 2023

Research has shown us that reading while listening has potential benefits. With the popularity of audiobooks growing along with technology advances, it is much easier to implement audiobooks in the classroom than in past years. There have also been indications of positive effects from social interactions on student reading skills and habits, such as those occurring during group discussions and literature circles. This action research study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using both of these techniques in conjunction with one another to improve reading comprehension among a small group of students identified as struggling readers receiving special education support within the general education English language arts classroom. Data will also be gathered to assess the effect of audiobooks on the participants’ voluntary engagement in independent reading activities.

Critical Habitat Assessment of the State Threatened Broad-Headed Skink
Authors: Hullinger Allison , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The Broad-Headed Skink is a semi-arboreal species that inhabits deciduous forests of the southeastern United States. Eastern Kansas makes up the northwestern periphery of their range and thus serves as an important area for studying the conservation of the species. In order to better evaluate the conservation status of the Broad-Headed Skink and develop a Recovery Plan, critical habitat needs to be better defined. In 2016, we surveyed 117 sites at Marais des Cygnes Wildlife Area, Marais des Cygnes National Wildlife Refuge, and La Cygne Wildlife Area. We installed drift fences, performed visual encounter surveys, and conducted a habitat evaluation at each site. A total of 560 individuals were collected that represented 32 species and 39 Broad-Headed Skinks were observed. Critical habitat variables were assessed using a logistic regression where we found insignificant results. However, these results will help guide us into the final field season of this project where we hope to increase our sample size.

Published: August 2023

COVID-19, also known as coronavirus disease of 2019, is a virus that was first discovered in December of 2019. Symptoms of COVID-19 feel much like the flu, a cold, and pneumonia. In this report we analyzed how a country's gross domestic product per capita (gdppc) affects COVID-19 deaths. Along with gdppc we included other variables that may have had an influence on the death rate. This is an important study due to the correlation that could be associated with higher living standards possibly leading to lower number of COVID-19 deaths.

The Effect of Income on Daily Physical Activity Levels in Americans
Authors: Foster Jacob , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

I analyze the relationship between income range and exercise level. The data that I have selected for this project was obtained from the Health Information National Trends Survey website. The specific question that the respondents were asked was, “In a typical week, how many days do you do any physical activity or exercise of at least moderate intensity, such as brisk walking, bicycling at a regular pace, swimming at a regular pace, and heavy gardening?”. My thoughts when determining my research topic were that individuals who are in the higher income brackets would respond to the survey indicating that they exercised more often than those in the lower income brackets. My thought process was that higher income earners would have more free time due to having more disposable income for things like child care, personal transportation, days off from work, gym memberships, etc. compared to lower income earners. There were also several other questions that were asked of the respondents that I included in my research in order to account for other possible variables. I also felt that this research question was important from a socioeconomic standpoint because if the research showed that there was a correlation between income and exercise level, that could have implications for increasing minimum wage, more paid days off, and other improvements to employer benefits. As a result of my research, I found that there was a positive relationship between the amount of income that the respondents earned and the amount of physical activity that they did each day.
RNA Interference of the Unfolded Protein Response in Acyrthosiphon pisum
Authors: Ridder Jared , Balthazor James , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Aphid species are distributed worldwide and are persistent agricultural pests. Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of dsRNA as a tool to cause selective death in target organisms through RNA interference ( Balthazor , J. R., et al 2018). Whole RNA was isolated from adult A. pisum and used to synthesize cDNA. Synthesized cDNA was then used as a template to produce dsRNA for use in feeding studies with pea aphids . dsRNAs complementary to target mRNAs were fed to adult aphids and survivorship was assessed. Concentrations of target mRNAs were assessed by quantitative real time PCR (qPCR)
High Altitude Balloon Cut-Down Circuit Research
Authors: Youn Jin Seok , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The purpose of the cut down circuit is to reduce the time of the tread. Test objects are other people's experiments to reach an altitude when the operation of the cut is naturally a balloon, which was originally set to wait for about four hours of tracking. Apply the cut down circuit, but can be reduced to one hour. In other words, efficiency can be maximized. So we need to cut down the circuit because we can catch both the desired result and efficiency at once. So we can save the time of tracing and don’t have to be in the car for a long time. Another purpose is, for some experiment they need data on a specific altitude. And cut down circuit makes it able to stop and go down on a certain altitude. Otherwise, the cut down circuit makes the balloon able to cut down on certain temperatures or pressure too. The sensor of this cut down circuit is called by “BMP 180”. This sensor can sense three things: Altitude, Temperature, Pressure. So not only making program to work depends on altitude, but also makes it able to cut on specific Temperature, Pressure or considering all three things so for example, If the cut-down circuit programmed to cut on 10800m, -4 C, 100Kpa, It is able to make cut down to cut down on whenever it reaches on one option or, it is able to program it to cut only when the environment matches all three conditions.
Distribution and Tooth Morphoguilds of Mosasaurids (Squamata) of the Campanian Western Interior Seaway with Implications for Controls on Mosasaur Paleobiogeography
Authors: Zaborniak Alec , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The Western Interior Seaway (WIS) of North America is well known for its mosasaurid squamate diversity, particularly during the Campanian of the Late Cretaceous. This diversity has historically been examined at a fine scale, with many studies investigating the faunal composition of specific assemblages. Mosasaur tooth morphology has also been extensively studied, with tooth characteristics commonly being used as phylogenetic characters. However, many studies examining mosasaur communities and tooth morphology have been focused on broader spatiotemporal or phylogenetic scales. This study investigates the spatial distribution and morphological disparity of Campanian WIS mosasaurs in relation to potentially limiting biotic and environmental factors as well as the importance of online, collections-based resources for paleontological data. 110 Campanian mosasaur occurrences recorded in online databases were categorized according to taxonomic rank and plotted on paleogeographic maps. Mosasaurines constitute approximately 45% of the total mosasaurid species within the seaway; russellosaurines are less common and halisaurines are scarce. Tooth morphoguilds indicative of feeding adaptations were also assigned to each taxon based on preexisting literature and novel measurements of tooth dimensions. The majority of Campanian WIS mosasaurids are found to belong to the 'Cut' guild. Mosasaurines display the highest amount of tooth disparity, with some guilds having a more spatially limited distribution potentially related to a combination of biotic and environmental factors. Many aspects of mosasaur paleoecology and evolution are still poorly understood; further additions to and expansions of online paleontological databases will help create a more complete picture of mosasaur paleobiogeography within the WIS.

Ground water is a valuable resource for all aspects of society whether used for agriculture, commerce, industry, and more. Monitoring the depth of the water table is crucial when determining accessibility and use of this resource, especially in agriculture-heavy regions like Kansas. By subtracting the altitude of the surface from the depth of water in a well, the depth of the local water table can be determined. Using this well data gathered from various locations in Kansas at different can be used to observe past behavior of the water table as well as help predict future behavior.
The Three Reliances: An examination of static social capital within communities.
Authors: Besser Jacob , Zollinger Brett , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this poster is to propose a theoretical framework and its models. The Three Reliances is a proposed system of knowledge that presents three pillars of support a rural community can become reliant on when the means to obtain social capital becomes static. The pillars of support are churches, private capital and Internet. When a community develops without a community center or an effective alternative static social capital increases while dynamic social capital decreases, and in turn there will be a substantial decrease in self-actualized community members. At the pinnacle of Maslow's hierarchy of needs rests self-actualization. Self-actualization is a status marked by high levels of fulfillment, individuals who have self-actualized will have greater social mobility within their communities and will be in advantageous situations to relieve the needs of other community members. Qualities of self-actualized members are commonly practiced in communities with both an effective and efficient community center. How a member of a community meets their self-actualization needs is dependent on what community engagement programs exist.

Published: August 2023

The goal of this project was to successfully launch a high-powered rocket with a camera inside of the nose cone and to get more experience using cameras in rockets. The first step of making the camera rocket was cutting out the bottom of the nose cone and inserting a sled with a camera in it into the nose cone and drilling a hole for the camera to see. The rocket we chose was a "Hi-Tech" rocket. This is a very simple and durable high-powered rocket kit and was easy to modify. Once we had built the rocket, we were ready to do a test flight. On March 29, 2023, we launched the rocket with camera in the nose cone on the University farm. The rocket was launched on a G-80, which is a common motor to use with Hi-Tech. The launch went well. The flight was straight and stable, and the parachute ejected well, even if a little late. The camera also worked well. We got great video, and the camera did not shift at all. We had a simple GPS tracker in the payload section of the Hi-Tech that allowed us to easily find the rocket when it landed. Overall, It was a successful flight, and a successful project. We have all gained valuable experience from this, and hope to put it to good use on bigger and better projects in the future.

Organismal composition and photosynthetic traits of biological soil crusts in prairie ecosystems of the Great Plains
Authors: McCampbell Brendon , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Biological soil crusts (BSCs) are soil-surface microecosystems composed of a close association of algae, cyanobacteria, fungi, lichens, and non-vascular plants with soil particles. BSCs have several ecological functions including carbon fixation, nitrogen fixation, nutrient relations, soil stabilization, water relations, and floral community development, which make them extremely important in the dryland ecosystems where they occur. While BSCs have been studied throughout the American West, little work has been done in the Great Plains region where they are less prominent among the dominant vascular plant communities. This novel study examined organismal and photosynthetic traits of BSCs in four ecosystems within the Great Plains—sandsage, short grass, mixed grass, and tall grass prairies. To document the BSCs, seasonal photosynthesis measurements were performed in the field and samples were collected for lab analysis. The BSCs primarily consisted of lichens, bryophytes, and cyanobacteria with lichens being dominant in all ecosystems and an increasing bryophyte presence in the wetter and cooler ecosystems. Heterocystic (nitrogen-fixing) and non-heterocystic cyanobacteria were present in lichens at all sites, which contribute to soil nitrogen content. Photosynthesis rates varied between sites and seasons, ranging from 0.26 to 3.31 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 CO2 m-2 s-1, that were generally correlated with precipitation and temperature. Not only does this research provide more knowledge about BSCs, but its information could also be incorporated into the conservation, restoration, and management of prairie ecosystems.

A Call for Change: The Social Construction of crime, accountability, and police reform.
Authors: Sims Monique , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Crime in the media is often shaped by social constructionism, which is a theoretical framework that our perceptions of reality are shaped by the social and cultural contexts in which we live. Claim makers utilize concepts of social constructionism to support a narrative of an issue that is out of control and to ignite action on the part of the citizens and the government to save and restore faith in humanity. This paper deconstructs a crime committed to show the concepts used to make this social construction a reality and help society adapt and want to change the future of policing. This crime was linked to prior cases of abuse of power and racially motivated attacks by police officers that support the enactment of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Social construction has a greater chance of being accepted by society when there are reputable individuals who support the claim, the claim is easy to understand, individuals can visualize themselves in the situation, the claim incites some form of fear or other emotion, and the claim is repeatedly proven to be true when comparing with other cases of the same nature. The proposed solution to the social construction is that police reform is vital to reduce racial prejudice and ensure that police are accountable for their misconduct.

Published: August 2023

The goal of our research project is to discover the factors that contribute to financial well-being in the United States. We used an interaction term to see how the effect of marriage on financial well-being changes by gender. We found that the socio-economic variables were statistically significant in explaining the financial well-being score. The financial skills score allowed us to control for additional factors that are subjective assessments from respondents. The interaction term is statistically significant and illustrates that women of all marital statuses have lower financial well-being scores than men of the same marital status.
Climatic Effects of Rewetting Irish Bogs
Authors: Zahner Zachary , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Habitat restoration through rewetting bogs is being explored as a method to combat climate change. Due to Ireland’s relatively high number of bogs, it is a good candidate for studies on the effects of rewetting. By looking at three different studies on rewetted bogs and their attributes, a general conclusion about the effectiveness of restoration can be formed. Each study went to different locations in Ireland where bogs had been rewetted and measured several factors that influence the effectiveness of the bog as a climatic tool such as productivity, greenhouse gas emissions, water chemistry, and more. Each study had different results but concluded that generally rewetting is beneficial to the climate if given enough time.

Equilibrium Studies of the Iron Exchange Reaction of Ferrioxamine B with 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonate
Authors: Glover Kelci , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Siderophores are molecules produced by bacteria which bind iron so strongly they are capable of extracting iron from its insoluble forms in the environment. Ferrioxamine B is the iron(III) complex of desferrioxamine B, a hexadentate siderophore with three hydroxamic acid subunits. It is secreted by various species of Streptomyces and Nocardia bacteria to acquire iron. Given the extraordinary stability of ferrioximine B, one topic of interest is how microbes engineer the release of iron from the complex. One possible strategy proposed in the literature is the formation of ternary complexes. Ternary complexes are molecular combinations formed from three components: iron, siderophore, and a competing iron binding molecule. Ternary complex formation is hypothesized to enhance the iron exchange process between the siderophore and an iron transport molecule or receptor site within the organism. The competing ligand studied in this reaction, 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonate, is a bidentate chelator. The 8-hydroxyquinoline-5- sulfonate ligand is also biologically relevant as the quinoline functional group is present in flavin mononucleotide, a physiological reductant shown to be capable of reducing ferrixomine B in vitro, and in the siderophore quinolobactin. We investigated the reaction of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonate with ferrioxamine B in aqueous solution using potentiometry and UV-VIS spectroscopy. By varying the pH and the concentration of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonate, we initiated shifts in the equilibrium position while monitoring changes in the reaction component concentrations. Through analysis of the potentiometric and spectrophotometric data, we have determined the products and equilibrium constants associated with this reaction.

This study aimed to determine the effect of digital payments and financial stressors on the consumptive behavior of MNC university students. This study uses quantitative research methods by distributing questionnaires to MNC university students with 62 samples from four majors. The result is that digital payments affect the student consumptive behavior of MNC University. The result is that digital payments and stressors simultan affect the student consumptive behavior of MNC University. But the financial stressors no affect the consumptive behavior of MNC University students. The weakness of this study is that it only uses one place as the object of research, so the findings cannot be generalized. Future research can increase the number of samples, not just focus on specific majors. It is recommended to increase the number of samples according to the majors at the University. Also, further research should add or replace other variables related to digital payments, financial stressors, and consumptive behavior.
