Show moreImmigration policies in the United States remain a paramount topic in shaping the nation’s sociopolitical culture in the status quo; nuances in public sentiment pertaining to both immigration and are imperative in recognizing the broader implications of this issue. To gauge public sentiment on this and associated issues, a poll was conducted titled Taking America’s Pulse 2016 Class Survey. The Survey organization was the German data and analytics firm, Growth from Knowledge (GfK) Group, and was sponsored by Cornell University faculty members, Peter K. Enns, Ph.D., Professor of Government, and Jonathon Schuldt, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Communication. This research will examine two (2) questions from the referenced 2016 poll, Question I, “Do you think the number of immigrants admitted into the US is too high, too low, or about the right amount?” and Question II, “Would you support or oppose a proposal to increase penalties for undocumented immigrants who overstay their visa in the US?”. This secondary data analysis further studies the aforementioned questions by examining respondents’ political party affiliation.

Show moreThe Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008, often referred to as the “bank bailout of 2008”, was an act of Congress that created a billion-dollar Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to purchase distressed assets during the Financial Crisis. The EESA was one of the “bailout measures” taken by congress to help repair the economic damage of 2007-08. Although the EESA is a fiduciary-centered act of congress, its long-term implications affected everyday Americans through its policy impacts. One central question in this policy evaluation is to analyze whether the EESA bailout unjustly assisted prominent banks and broker-dealers or whether the EESA was essential to ensure the prevention of the U.S. financial system from collapsing. Because the Financial Crisis of 2007-08 had such a broad impact, especially since many distressed assets were within the residential market [of average Americans], analyzing this Act through research and policy evaluation is especially fitting. This Policy Evaluation explores public policy in emergency circumstances, implications outside the financial sector for the public, and the overall synthesis between major financial markets and institutions and the American general public.

Show moreThis research is an examination of the morphological and syntactical features found within verb phrases of Chaldean Neo-Aramaic, a Semitic language which originates from Mesopotamia. From this examination, a configurational model is proposed, which depicts the grammatical arrangement of these morphosyntactic features during verb phrase formation. Additionally, accompanying this description of the language's verb phrases, a dependency-based approach is taken for the analysis of the language's sentence structure. Such a method departs from traditional perspectives which posit that the concept of a sentence is the compositional result of two distinct linguistic elements: a subject and a predicate (the verb phrase). However, from the analysis of the language, an argument is presented for a reconsideration of the conceptualization of a sentence that would position the verb as the primary element, or nucleus, on which all other occurring elements are either directly or indirectly dependent.

This study tests the long-term durability that can be developed in concrete batches made with recycled aggregate concrete. Durability is a broad term used to define the resistance of a material to weathering effects, but in this scenario, durability will be defined as a drop in the compressive strength of the concrete. To test this, thermal sensing was used to determine the maturity of the concrete, or in other words how far along the curing process the concrete is. This was then plotted...
Show moreThis study tests the long-term durability that can be developed in concrete batches made with recycled aggregate concrete. Durability is a broad term used to define the resistance of a material to weathering effects, but in this scenario, durability will be defined as a drop in the compressive strength of the concrete. To test this, thermal sensing was used to determine the maturity of the concrete, or in other words how far along the curing process the concrete is. This was then plotted against the corresponding concrete compressive strength to create a relationship that can be exploited to project the later age strength of the concrete. This data is paramount in determining the viability of recycled concrete aggregate because it is a sustainable alternative to other coarse aggregate material, an essential part to making concrete, but its’ properties are largely unknown since they can be highly variable.

The information gathered from our focus group suggests that durability and comfort are the main factors when making a purchase. Competitors like Converse and Nike use their market share to persuade their buyers to pay a premium price while Vans focus on durability and the lifestyle the shoes brings to the consumers. Our secondary research revealed that millennials are considered the least conservative generation, which implies the rash nature of our target market. With the large growth rate of millennials, their preference pool is strongly influenced by the new wave. In regards to rebranding, vans began using “off the wall” to distance themselves from primarily skating to athleisure wear. Vans are mostly worn in cities with warmer climates to maximize comfort and a feeling of relaxation throughout the day.

In the developing world of global economies, people travel on a regular basis. Travelers tend to complain about the Hotel Industry and how it is manipulating prices for their clientele. AirB&B is disrupting the hotel industry by allowing private owners to rent out their properties for short periods of time with less risk. Currently, we have obtained data to prove that AirB&B is satisfying their customers better than regular hotel industry.
We will be comparing how does the number of bedrooms, the accommodations, the price and minimum stay requirements affecting the overall satisfaction of the traveling clientele. We will attempt to compare this data to how the room type effects the reviews and overall satisfaction to all other hotel ratings.

Citrus greening, also known as Huanglongbing disease, is a phloem restrictive disease that affects orange as well as other citrus trees. The disease is caused by the gram negative bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. The bacteria is transmitted by the Asian psyllid, Diaphorina citri. The bacteria causes the tree to produce small and bitter oranges, the roots shrink and the leaves molt. There is currently no cure for this disease.

Show moreCitrus greening, also known as Huanglongbing disease, is a phloem restrictive disease that affects orange as well as other citrus trees. The disease is caused by the gram negative bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. The bacteria is transmitted by the Asian psyllid, Diaphorina citri. The bacteria causes the tree to produce small and bitter oranges, the roots shrink and the leaves molt. There is currently no cure for this disease. The best way to manage citrus greening is by removing infected trees, implementing healthy planting material and controlling the psyllid population. Quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) was used to verify whether or not a given orange tree had citrus greening disease. DNA was extracted from leaves from eight trees. A qPCR analysis was performed using a primer with the bacteria DNA. Three trees were successfully diagnosed with citrus greening using this method.

Show moreThree-dimensional computer-generated imagery (CGI) has been the animation industry standard for about two decades. There has been increased research in non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) techniques by industry leaders such as Walt Disney Animation Studios. NPR is computer-generated imagery that is augmented to replicate a distinct art style that deviates from what you would expect to see in a 3D rendering. In this study, subjects are tasked to determine whether a series of animated clips are two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Student participants are pooled into two groups, based on visual art majors and non-visual art majors. Using eye-tracking software, the data will observe if an individual uses visual cues to draw distinctions between two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms, along with how their viewing patterns change for each particular animation as the line between 2D and 3D gets blurred.

In 2014, the motion for covering additional immigrants under the act was blocked by the courts, and as of 2018, President Trump plans on disbanding DACA as well as the DREAM act, changing the lives of millions who have shaped America. For this research, I conducted a literature review that examines the benefits and limitations of DACA, the emotional and mental effects of being an “illegal” immigrant, and the political views of members of the current U.S. administration that will threaten the lives of many. Finally, I propose a possible research project to further explore this issue.

Visual art has the potential to create dialogue and promote social change. However, there is little existing research on how art impacts those observing it. The purpose of this descriptive pilot study was to explore nurses’ perceptions surrounding homelessness by exposing participants to an artistic representation depicting homelessness and shared human connection. A deductive, qualitative approach was used to examine positive and negative word use in writings completed by graduate nursing students before and after viewing a photographic exhibit. Findings revealed little change in negative word use and an increase in positive word use. These findings suggest that visual art may have the potential to increase empathy and humanization toward the people depicted.

This study’s objective was to examine food/beverage provisions at faith-based children/youth events. Direct observation methodology was used for data collection from 10 churches (two to five observations/church) in Southeast FL. Food/beverages served on 31 occasions (26 meals, 5 non-meals) were documented/analyzed for nutrient content (Food Processor software). Main dishes were mostly pizza and pasta-based casseroles (45%) with white bread/rolls (side dish) (27%). Vegetables (non-potato) were served twice, and fruits five times but seldom eaten. Provided beverages were primarily sugar-sweetened (87%). Desserts/snack-foods were served at 55% of events. Foods were generally high in fat and/or sugar and contributed little to needed fruit / vegetable servings. These findings provide nutritional evidence to initiate dialogues within faith-communities about healthier food provisions at children/youth-related activities.
