Joseph Pollard - “What can Pokémon Teach Us About Vulnerable Island Ecosystems and Real Life Giants?” (session 10) This project will highlight the connection between real-life animals and fictional creatures called Pokemon. By highlighting the connection between these real and fictional creatures this will help to understand a real-world phenomena known as island gigantism. This discussion also opens the avenue to discuss the real-world impacts of invasive species and their effects on delicate ecosystems as well as the role climate change could play. Rubal Man Pradhanr - “Fourier Transforms in Visual and Signal Analysis” (session 6) This paper explores the mathematical foundation of Fourier Transforms, particularly in solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) for visual and signal analysis. This paper explains the theoretical foundations of Fourier Transforms, emphasizing their role in spectral analysis and computational efficiency through the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Fourier-based techniques are widely used in image processing, noise reduction, speech recognition, and medical imaging. Additionally, Discrete Cosine Transforms (DCT), a variant of Fourier analysis, enable data compression in formats like JPEG and MP3. Advancements in fractional Fourier Transforms and their integration with machine learning further expand their applications. By bridging theory and practice, this paper highlights how Fourier Transforms remain indispensable in modern computational science. Georgia Price - see Szymanski et al. - “Insight into the Prevention of Serial Killers : Nature vs Nurture” (poster session 2) Carla Prieto Dominguez - “Nurse-les Prevention of Alcohol Abuse: Educating Adolescents for Healthier Futures” (session 11) This project is a nurse-led education module to warn adolescents about the effects of alcohol and its damage to health. The programme includes the physiological impact of alcohol on areas such as the brain, liver, and heart. In addition, the educational module will address short-term risks, such as impaired judgment, and long-term risks, such as addiction and chronic diseases. Adolescents will be equipped with the necessary tools through workshops and interactive games to resist the pressure of their environment. The educational module also highlights the importance of family and friends as support systems, along with open and sincere communication, to make progress. The project will assess the effectiveness of these strategies to make young people aware of the risks of alcohol and encourage them to lead healthier lives.
Alicia Reyes - “Search and Seizure” (session 10) I am presenting the topic of “search and seizure” and the different reasons people are legally and illegally. The different reasons officers pull over individuals and if their reasons are valid along with asking different people their amount of knowledge regarding their rights. Search and seizure is important because it’s something that occurs everyday and not all officers follow correct procedures. The method I used to get my information from individuals was a survey sent out by the IRB asking questions such as what their race is, how much knowledge they have regarding their rights, how they felt when being pulled over if ever ect. I have used their answers and research online along with using research papers that were published by other students. I wanted to learn different experiences people had and if more information about their rights would have mattered or could in the future. Dajah Robinson - “Balancing the Burden” (session 15) Therapist wellbeing is essential to the ethical integrity and overall effectiveness of counseling as a practice. Client welfare is the focal point of therapy, in fact, it is the first and arguably most important ethical code. The American Counseling Association’s ethics code (A.1.a) refers to the clients welfare as the therapist’s “Primary Responsibility”. If the therapist develops maladaptive coping techniques, this can have a negative impact on the clients welfare. Maladaptive coping techniques have been related to therapist burnout and compassion fatigue. By highlighting the factors that contribute to compassion fatigue and burnout, this project will aid in assisting future therapists in identifying and combating such factors. Drawing upon the ACA Code of Ethics, relevant research, and insights gained through practicum and internship experiences, this project will demonstrate the critical role of healthy coping strategies, effective communication, and self-advocacy in sustaining therapist well-being. Mencia Rodríguez Medio - “The Golden Ratio: A Mathematical and Aesthetic Marvel” (session 9) The golden ratio, often denoted by the greek letter phi, Φ, is a mathematical constant which for centuries has been a big mystery for mathematicians. It has taken a lot of different names throughout those centuries, but one of the main reasons for its mystery is that it appears in various fields, from art and architecture to nature and finance and it is a big mystery why it does. This paper explores its mathematical derivation, properties, occurrences, and significance in different domains, with a particular focus on its relationship with the Fibonacci sequence, and how the golden ratio is related to art, more specifically design and how you can see it and not even know it. Paula Romero - “Mathematical Foundations of Origami and its Applications in Medicine and Biology” (session 9) This research analyzes the mathematical foundations of origami together with its expanding medical and biological applications. The study covers the seven axioms of origami, rigid origami, and flat-foldability theorems that create mathematical guidelines for origami design. The research investigates material folding behavior through Gaussian curvature and developable surfaces.Finally, the work explores growing DNA origami implementations in biomedical applications including biosensing systems, drug transport methods, and cancer therapy, as well as origami design for tissue engineering, stents, and microfluidic devices. The study seeks to establish connections between the mathematical theory of origami and the adoption and implementation of medical technology.
