Title: Corruption in the Pharmaceutical Industry.
Creator: Roman, Abel, Arflin, Cheryl, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
Abstract/Description: On November 4th, 2013, global health care giant Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries reached a settlement amount of $2.2 billion dollars. Johnson & Johnson settled to pay this amount to resolve the civil and criminal allegations of promotions not approved as safe and effective, kickbacks to physicians, and violations based on the False claim act. This type of offense has been common with pharmaceutical companies for the past ten years, but the federal government still gives pharmaceutical...
Show moreOn November 4th, 2013, global health care giant Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries reached a settlement amount of $2.2 billion dollars. Johnson & Johnson settled to pay this amount to resolve the civil and criminal allegations of promotions not approved as safe and effective, kickbacks to physicians, and violations based on the False claim act. This type of offense has been common with pharmaceutical companies for the past ten years, but the federal government still gives pharmaceutical companies tax breaks which represent billions of dollars in lost revenue for the federal government. With this type of exemption, pharmaceutical companies are given an incentive to commit fraud for corporate greed while neglecting to put funds towards research and development.

Title: Taxation and the Separation of Church and State.
Creator: Roman, Abel, Arflin, Cheryl, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
Abstract/Description: The separation of church and state was passed under the First Amendment in 1791. However, Since its inception the United States has not followed through with this philosophy. Since colonial times, churches have been privileged with tax exemptions. Nine out of the thirteen colonies had some form of tax relief to aid their churches.

Show moreThe separation of church and state was passed under the First Amendment in 1791. However, Since its inception the United States has not followed through with this philosophy. Since colonial times, churches have been privileged with tax exemptions. Nine out of the thirteen colonies had some form of tax relief to aid their churches. This right was granted to all religious organizations with the expectation that they would contribute to their communities by providing aid to the poor. Through their constant reformation, tax laws have achieved a more rigorous stance on religious tax exemptions, yet lack the integrity needed to prevent religious organizations from taking advantage of the current tax laws. The objective of this project is to analyze how the church went from being humble, to a corporation that exploits the current tax exemptions law, and how we need reconstruct the current tax exemptions on religious organization.

Title: Potential Influences of Rape Myth Acceptance in Police Judgement.
Creator: Branscum, Caralin, Carreno-Lukasik, Gina, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
Abstract/Description: I explore the influence and potential effects of rape myth acceptance on police decision making, specifically the likelihood that an officer recommends that a case goes to court. From officers’ perspectives, notable characteristics of “legitimate” cases are identified. Next, the relationship between a case’s legitimacy and acceptance of specific rape myths are analyzed.

Show moreI explore the influence and potential effects of rape myth acceptance on police decision making, specifically the likelihood that an officer recommends that a case goes to court. From officers’ perspectives, notable characteristics of “legitimate” cases are identified. Next, the relationship between a case’s legitimacy and acceptance of specific rape myths are analyzed. A conclusion that can be drawn is that, police officers endorse few rape myths that affect their judgement in recommending cases. However, another study demonstrates that cases that do not go to court also correlate with negative experiences between the victim and officer. I explore a possible explanation that would suggest rape myth acceptance plays a more influential role in policing than previous studies suggest. Lastly, I conclude with general weaknesses in existing literature as well as potential areas of further study.

Title: Quantifying Wading Bird Activity in Drying Wetlands Using Time Lapse Imagery.
Creator: Campbell, Hannah, Dorn, Nathan, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
Abstract/Description: The purpose of this research was to quantify wading bird hourly and daily foraging activity in a drying wetland. We sought to determine the hours of peak activity and identify water depths that facilitate high foraging activity. Our results indicated that 56% of daily activity occurred between 0600 – 0800 h and >95% of the daily activity was found in images taken between 0600 and 1400 h. The wading bird activity showed little variation and no obvious correlation with water depth fluctuations ...

Our results indicated that 56% of daily activity occurred between 0600 – 0800 h and >95% of the daily activity was found in images taken between 0600 and 1400 h. The wading bird activity showed little variation and no obvious correlation with water depth fluctuations (highest recorded density = 2.1 birds/ha at 14.9 cm depth; lowest recorded density = 0.05 birds/ha at 35.1 cm depth). The wading bird activity occurring between 0600 – 1400 h accounts for >95% of daily activity. We conclude that a study of water depth and average wading bird density earlier in the nesting season is needed for a clearer effect of water depth on wading bird foraging activity.

The genes for neomycin phosphotransferase (NPT II) and GUS were included in the coding region of the Ti plasmid construct. The NPTII gene drove antibiotic resistance and was used to select and identify homozygous lines through the segregation of the progeny. Analysis through histochemical staining and genetic assays rendered putative transgenic lines that were cultivated for further assessment of progeny. First generation histochemical analysis of 14-day tissue formation resulted in no levels of expression for the GUS gene, which demonstrated that the flower-specific PUN promoter was not active in the leaf tissue. Further testing of gene activity throughout all stages of tissue formation for the first generation lines is required in order to assess regulatory pattern of the PUN promoter.

Tile, a portable GPS device, connects to a smartphone app to make the process of finding lost or valuable items quick and easy. We researched which advertising techniques would best attract customers and enable them to see Tile as a need not a want. Secondary, research shows that Americans lose $5,591 worth of belongings over their lifetime. In fact, one in five people misplace something every week. Our findings are a work in progress as we will conduct qualitative and inferential research by hosting focus groups and questionnaires to study purchase patterns. If consumers see Tile as a need more than a want it is more likely they will buy the product. This study’s objective is to perform a systematic review of research, while maintaining ethical standards and full disclosure to research subjects involved.

Show moreMesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common form of epilepsy seen in adults. Most mesial temporal lobe epilepsy have an association with hippocampal sclerosis. Patients suffering from MTLE have had seizures or experienced a serious injury during critical brain growth periods of their childhood. Research to date on MTLE has not elicited the discovery of a pharmaceutical treatment. Therefore, MTLE is currently treatable through only surgery. Patients who are eligible for surgery are already in the advanced stages of MTLE, although recently there has been a discovery that post surgery, has shown some risk of memory lost. Now, laser ablation therapy is being looked at as an alternative treatment for those who are suffering from MTLE. The focus of this study is on the current research on MTLE with a concentration on possible connections of the diagnosis and treatment options for patients experiencing different types of epilepsy.

Show moreGeologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) into deep saline aquifers is a promising strategy for mitigation of global atmospheric CO2 levels-a main cause of climate change. These aquifers have the capacity to safely store significant amounts of CO2 and are available worldwide. As such, reaction dynamics and multiphase transport accompanying CO2 injection in deep aquifers are important to understanding CO2 sequestration processes and therefore they have been extensively studied. Despite the comprehensive findings, there are still urgent needs for understanding of interactions between injected CO2 and resident fluids since these interactions could determine the total CO2 storage rate and capacity. The objective of this study is to investigate fundamental physics of water evaporation at different salinities under the CO2-rich environment. Microfluidic techniques visualize and quantify evaporation behavior of water in real-time in a simple 1D microchannel geometry. The detailed CO2-water interactions and underlying physics will be discussed.

Show moreGopherus polyphemus (gopher tortoise) is a threatened keystone species whose burrows benefit over 350 species. Surveys conducted throughout 2010- 2015 at Florida Atlantic University Preserve (FAUP) have found an age gap of ten years and a lack of nests. To update the demographic survey and to examine the population’s reproduction and health, we conducted burrow and nest surveys from May to September 2016 and collected fecal samples to check for endo-parasites. Transects were used to locate burrows and measurements were taken to determine population structure. Wire-probing was used to locate nests and feces were tested for endo-parasites. From a total of 261 marked burrows and fecal sampling, results indicated a continuous age range, one nest, and presence of intestinal parasites. Future work will focus on health and reproductive behavior that will improve our understanding of the FAUP gopher tortoise population and may ultimately aid in future conservation methods.

The overall goal of this project is to determine whether isolation and semi-synthesis can provide adequate quantities for biological evaluation. Erythropodium caribaeorum is an abundant gorgonian in the Caribbean that produces two unique marine diterpenoids, erythrolides A and B, which have been shown to undergo photochemical transformations to yield more complex chemistry. In this project, erythrolides A and B will be isolated from E. caribaeorum collected off the coast of Boca Raton, Florida. These compounds will be exposed to ultraviolet light and analyzed to identify any chemical changes. New compounds will then be subjected to biological screening for cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines. This project will not only identify new bioactive compounds but also provide a novel route for the large-scale production of medically relevant marine natural products.

Show moreMore than 1 trillion barrels of oil deposited worldwide is heavy oil and natural bitumen. Due to their high viscosity and high density, extraction efficiency of heavy oil and bitumen from natural reservoirs is known to be less than 5% with the conventional primary recovery methods. To increase their recovery efficiency, a technique, known as enhanced oil recovery, has been developed using nanoparticles, surfactant, dispersant, and polymers. Among these materials, surfactants and dispersants lower interfacial tension between oil and the resident fluid; therefore enhance mobilization of oil. The objective of this project is to further improve the recovery efficiency of heavy oil by a combined effect of surfactant and dispersant. When the mixture of surfactant and dispersant in an aqueous solution is injected to oil-rich porous media, microfluidic visualization techniques will be employed to investigate the overall recovery rate. The possibility and effectiveness of the proposed idea will be discussed.

As salinity levels change, plant cover of the freshwater community will be adversely affected, but perhaps more importantly, their microbial symbionts responsible for their tolerance to high salinity will be impacted as well. Microbes respond quicker to changing environments and could provide an early warning of the loss of resiliency of the Florida coastline ecosystem. For 10 weeks, soil samples from Biscayne National Park will be placed in standardized mesocosms and subject to local conditions like sunlight, tides, plants, increased sea levels, higher salinities, and variant inundation. Standard and variant conditions will be employed on different mesocosms, and weekly DNA extractions of the various soil samples will be analyzed via metagenomic analysis, creating a library of the 16S rRNA community structure over the 10 week period.

There are many studies that have examined eyewitness memory for crimes in younger adults and older adults. In this study, we will examine the effects of age on memory for license plates. We want to determine which license plates are better remembered by younger and older adults. We hypothesize that the organization of letters and numbers on the license plate will have a larger effect on older adults than on younger adults because older adults need more memory support.

I will present how the SEC has raised claims (mainly unsuccessfully) against such practices in at least one of two categories: sale of an unregistered security, or insider trading. I will conclude by arguing that such transactions need to be more carefully scrutinized in order to protect and better inform the “unsuspecting public”.
