  • WIU Graduate Research Conference
    WIU Graduate Research Conference Friday March 3, 2017. Poster Presentations 1. Title: Discovery of Internal Standards for the Determination of Limonene in Sweet Orange (Citus Sinensis) Oil by Gas Chromatography Principal presenter: Ravi Kiran Lella Major: Chemistry Other presenters or co-authors: Wei Chean Chuah, Taylor N. Windbiel, Angle Perez, Shaozong Zhang and Liguo Song Faculty mentor: Dr. Liguo Song Abstract: Limonene content is used to classify oil of citrus rinds into different grades. The determination of limonene from industrial process streams requires a method to be fast, sensitive, precise, accurate, and specific. Gas chromatographic methods for the determination of limonene are abundant throughout the literature. Both external and internal standards are used in the determination. A method with internal standard calibration is preferred due to its better precision and accuracy. The components of sweet orange (citus sinensis) oil include a wide variety of hydrocarbons, aldehydes, alcohols, esters, ketones, and some miscellaneous compounds. Anisole was previously used as the internal standard. However, our experimental results showed that it coeluted with impurities in sweet orange oil. Therefore, other alternative compounds including chlorobenzene, p-xylene, bromobenzene and acetophenone, which have never been detected in sweet orange oil, have been studied as potential internal standards in the current report. Our results showed that while bromobenzne coleluted with impurities in sweet orange oil, p-xylene and chlorobenzene eluted before all the components in sweet orange oil and acetophenone eluted after limonene without overlapping with impurities in sweet orange oil. Chlorobenzene and p-xylene were better choices than acetophenone because the developed methods were able to achieve required separation within two minute.

  • Applied History of Psychology/History of Research on Attention 1 Applied History of Psychology/History of Research on Attention
    Applied History of Psychology/History of Research on Attention 1 Applied History of Psychology/History of Research on Attention There has been a large increase in research activity in the area of attention since the 1950s. This research has focused not only on attention, but also how attention is related to memory and executive functioning. Human learning and behaviour are dependent on our ability to pay attention to our environment, retain and retrieve information, and use cognitive strategies. An understanding of the development of attention is also critical when we consider that deficits in attention often lead to difficulties in school and in the work force. Thus, attention is an important topic in the study of psychology, specifically in the areas of development (see Part II of this book), learning (Part III), and psychological disorders (see the section on ADHD in Part IV). There is no doubt that an understanding of attention and related concepts is critical to our understanding of human cognition and learning. Introduction to The History of Research on Attention The study of attention is a major part of contemporary cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Attention plays a critical role in essentially all aspects of perception, cognition, and action, influencing the choices we make. The study of attention has been of interest to the field of psychology since its earliest days. However, many ideas about attention can be traced to philosophers in the 18th and 19th centuries, preceding the foundation of the field of psychology. The topic of attention was originally discussed by philosophers. Among the issues considered were the role of attention on conscious awareness and thought, and whether attention was directed voluntarily or involuntarily toward objects or events.

Introduction Try to think back to when you first learned how to drive a car. Your primary aim was to steer the car clear of other vehicles, pedestrians, and trees – a difficult task by itself. But you also had to control the pressure applied to the accelerator pedal to keep within posted speed limits. You needed occasionally to apply the brake to obey traffic signals and to avoid plowing into the car in front of you. Added to this, if you first learned to drive a car with a manual transmission, you had to decide when to shift and then you needed to coordinate the complex movements involved in changing gears – releasing the accelerator pedal, depressing the clutch, shifting to the appropriate gear, carefully releasing the clutch while applying some gas. And you had to do this while continuing to pay attention to the road ahead.
