Student Research Days 2021: Recent Episodes
None
The annual fair showcases research and creative accomplishments by university graduate and undergraduate students. In lieu of the traditional poster session and creative exhibition, undergraduate and graduate students are invited to develop a 5-8 minute video presentation to share through the dedicated Student Research Days MediaHub channel.
Recorded PowerPoint presentation on the Beinecke letters project at the George Eliot Archive and the value of collaboration in transcription work.
I wanted to see how much an increase in using renewable energy affects the price of electricity.
The purpose of this research was to elucidate ways to control the final material properties of objects manufactured using fused deposition modelling. This study focused on widely used filament—polylactic acid (PLA). This study utilized a wide, but carefully selected, range of printing materials and processing parameters, which will allow drawing conclusions about how the impact that different printing variables have on ultimate material properties of a 3D printed object.
Over the past years, we can observe the rapid development of science, and with this rapid evolution, we can also notice an increase in toxins levels in the water and soil in which plants grow. This project aims to reveal the level of Cerium oxide nanoparticles that microgreens can absorb through the roots in a hydroponic environment.
A presentation about my work in the Willa Cather Archival image gallery and the subsequent, valuable conversations.
A very brief summary of my work towards designing and analyzing a wind-energy system that is driven by a kite. Design parameters, challenges, and results are presented, as well as the underlying motivation for the research.
This is a video presentation of a poster that talks about the efficacy of commercialized ozonated water bottle spray at reducing microbial counts on food contact surfaces
Courtney's graduate research work developing mechanically optimized vascular bypass grafts for treating patients with PAD
Comparing data from seven sites along the Prairie Corridor to determine species richness at each site.
Enhancement of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) in Alzheimer's disease proteins by converting a viral polypeptide into cDNA and injecting into mice.
My research's purpose was to to help fight the global COVID pandemic by helping ethanol producers produce USP grade ethanol as well as study the environmental impacts of producing USP grade ethanol.
Listening to music while studying is common among college students. Previous quantitative research indicated that the influence of background music on cognition varies depending on features or characteristics of music, tasks, and individuals. Although college students have writing tasks frequently in their courses, there is little research on writing with background music. This phenomenological study explored the college students’ experience of listening to music while writing. Five themes revealed the preferred music for writing, contexts and habits, types of writing, conditions for listening, and perceived impact of the music. The findings can help educators use music in educational settings.
Acknowledge: Thank Dr. Wayne Babchuk for guiding my research. I appreciate the comments and feedback from students in EDPS 935 during the 2020 fall semester.
This video demonstrates the process of web development in the project The George Eliot Archive
Discussion of research as it pertains to experimental dark matter detection and theoretical extensions to probe current blind spot scenarios.
We are working on a USDA project to extract soil data from different soil articles and journals using machine learning techniques.
Studying sow’s behavior and understanding how to improve them will lead to a better mothering ability and low piglet crushing rates which is a fundamental solution to the preweaning mortality issue.
This presentation details the wastewater based epidemiology approach that UNL researchers are taking to monitor the SARS-CoV-2 virus at a community level in campus dormitories.
