Creating the real word in virtual reality has been a challenge for a long time. NVIDIA has managed to make a very good representation of fluids and its associated components that can be integrated into Unity. However, mastering the physics of aerodynamics and implementing it into a computer platform has not been properly accomplished yet. When completed, this will pose an adequate environment to test the performance of the planes being made in the lab.
Identifying timing channels for cryptosystems is often a manual process. Addressing the cause of the timing channel is only possible once the flaw is identified. Using information-flow analysis it is possible to identify timing channels. An information flow analysis can track the flow of sensitive information through a program. The issue is that the number of positives can be very high, and unequally weighted in the threat that may be posed.
This project focuses on cyber aggression directed toward body portrayal on Twitter. My goal is to analyze and visualize patterns in the social network flows of incidences of cyber aggression on Twitter. My research demonstrates the utility of social media analysis in pinpointing the role of social networks in the dissemination of harmful, aggressive Twitter content. However, it also showcases the potential for social networks to assist in stemming the spread of such negative messages.
C.R.E.A.T.E. (1 credit-PSYCH 296 course) is a research study and supplemental course to PSYCH 212, available for undergraduate students currently enrolled in PSYCH 212: Introduction to Developmental Psychology. C.R.E.A.T.E. is a teaching method originally designed by Hoskins et al. (2007), designed to stimulate a research laboratory setting during class wherein students have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussion with the instructor and peers about the analysis of pre-selected primary literature articles.
Previous research suggests that increased physical activity is associated with higher levels of brain and cognitive health. However, these associations are often observed over long timescales (through outcomes from exercise interventions or by comparing individuals high and low in cardio respiratory fitness). Little is known about how cognition is associated with physical activity at a daily level. Preliminary results from an ecological momentary assessment study of physical activity, self-reported cognition, and mood will be discussed.
I performed high pressure freezing for TEM of C. elegans eggshells. HPF is the only fixation available to study EM of C. elegans and results are often more variable. My poster will describe the procedure using the Leica EM HPM100 and the tissue embedding process. The main issue faced during the preparation was extracting fully intact worms from the HPF sample carriers. I conclude with a solution to a more effective approach when embedding samples.
Working along Alfonso Mejia and my coworker Gitau Kimani was a problem solving engagement experience. Facing problems such as softwares not working or time limitations was something I have not faced before. Coming up with solutions was a really useful experience and the skills I have learned will be useful as I continue my engineering career.
