ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

Executive Summary

The 2014 – 2015 academic year was a very successful one for the School of Sciences and Mathematics (SSM). Our faculty continued their stellar record of publication and securing extramural funding, and we were able to significantly advance several capital projects. In addition, the number of majors in SSM remained very high and we continued to provide research experiences for a significant number of our students.

We welcomed four new faculty members to our ranks. These individuals and their colleagues published 187 papers in peer‐reviewed scientific journals, many with undergraduate co‐authors. Faculty also secured $6.4M in new extramural grant awards to go with the $24.8M of continuing awards.

During the 2013‐14 AY, ground was broken for two 3,000 sq. ft. field stations at Dixie Plantation, with construction slated for completion in Fall 2014. These stations were ultimately competed in June 2015, and will begin to serve students for the Fall 2015 semester. The 2014‐2015 academic year, marked the first year of residence of Computer Science faculty, as well as some Biology and Physics faculty, in Harbor Walk. In addition, nine Biology faculty had offices and/or research space at SCRA, and some biology instruction occurred at MUSC. In general, the displacement of a large number of students to Harbor Walk went very smoothly. Temporary astronomy viewing space was secured on the roof of one of the College’s garages. The SSM dean’s office expended tremendous effort this year to secure a contract for completion of the Rita Hollings Science Center renovation, with no success to date.

We continue to see expanding interest in STEM programs and remained a major producer of STEM graduates in South Carolina. A prominent feature of SSM is the extent to which our students obtain real‐world, hands‐on experience in research laboratories, internships, and field experiences. These experiences are critical to preparing students for graduate and professional study, as well as for entering the work force. STEM fields continue to dominate lists of the most lucrative employment fields. A recent article in Forbes Magazine lists the Top Degrees for Getting Hired in 2015 based on a study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). It revealed which majors college career placement offices are looking to place with employers. The article discusses three areas with specific degrees most in demand. Computer science was ranked the third top Bachelor’s degree in demand; computer science, accounting, and information sciences & systems were among the top 10 Master’s Degrees and ; physics, computer science, math/statistics, and chemistry were among the top 10 Doctorate degrees. To note: all 10 top Doctorate Degrees in Demand were in STEM fields. SSM is committed to preparing our students for education and careers beyond our borders.

SCHOOL Mission Statement and Goals Our mission is to integrate discovery, innovation and education in order to serve our students, our state and our nation. The principal responsibility of the School of Sciences and Mathematics is to provide the science and mathematics courses for all students at the College, and, concomitantly, to equip students who major in sciences and/or mathematics with the knowledge and skills to pursue careers in a wide variety of fields, including, science, engineering, medicine and allied health, law, social services, and journalism. The school's graduate programs have been carefully selected both to complement the undergraduate programs in areas of significant national strength and to meet the intellectual, professional and economic needs of the region and the state.

Our vision and our mission are founded on our core values ‐‐ those principles that define and guide the way in which we achieve our mission. The School of Sciences and Mathematics reflects the values of a public liberal arts and sciences university. We value:

 Students as individuals  Our colleagues and peers as teachers and scholars  Commitment to responsible and ethical practices in research and pedagogy  Inquiry and intellectual curiosity  Meaningful engagement with the community, region and state  Collaborative effort and lifelong learning  Diversity and dialogue  Assessment and accountability as key tools to drive continuous improvement

Our goals in science are to help assure that all graduates of the College of Charleston:

1. Can demonstrate understanding of some of the fundamental scientific concepts and theories about the natural world; 2. Acquire a knowledge of the evidence, ideas, and models that scientists use to make judgments about the natural world; 3. Acquire a knowledge about science and technology as they shape contemporary experience and values, and demonstrate an appreciation of the historical and contemporary impact of science on daily life; 4. Develop the skills of logical and critical thinking necessary to explore how the natural world works; 5. Can demonstrate an appreciation and understanding of the scientific method of inquiry;

2

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

6. Understand that scientific knowledge is based on the outcomes of testing of hypotheses and theories that are under constant scrutiny and subject to revision based on new observations, and such knowledge is not just a collection of facts; 7. Can demonstrate an ability to distinguish between science and technology and appreciate the capabilities and limitations of both;

Our goals in mathematics are to help assure that all graduates:

1. Develop an appreciation for the practical value of mathematics in the modern world; 2. Can interpret mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables, and schemata, draw inferences and make decisions from them, and communicate these conclusions verbally; 3. Can organize information, recognize patterns and relationships, and represent them mathematically; 4. Can use mathematical, analytical, and statistical methods to solve problems and recognize limits of the methods; 5. Can estimate and check answers to mathematical problems in order to determine whether an answer is reasonable, and critically appraise numerical information; 6. Can apply mathematical methods in the context of other disciplines, and reason logically and recognize where conclusions can be drawn from a set of hypotheses.

For Sciences and Mathematics majors, the School has the responsibility to lead students toward acquiring a depth of knowledge and competence in their respective disciplines. In particular, science and mathematics graduates should have:

1. The ability to recount and explain the basic facts and postulates of the discipline and to use these in the solution of problems with which the discipline concerns itself; 2. Proficiency in the use of the techniques and tools of the discipline; 3. An awareness of the resources of the discipline and the ability to seek out and assimilate knowledge that has not been a part of the classroom experience; 4. The ability to relate knowledge in the discipline to other disciplines.

A key element of our mission is accountability, which includes regular assessments of the effectiveness of School of Sciences and Math programs. Departments must be alert to opportunities to measure their programs against objective indicators of programmatic quality, such as accreditation reviews and external program evaluations.

The School of Sciences and Mathematics recognizes that a college education is not merely an independent activity that follows high school but is part of a greater educational experience that begins in kindergarten. Academic departments are sensitive to their obligation to promote education at all levels. Consequently, faculty engagement in pre‐college activities with students and teachers is regarded as an important part of the mission of the school.

A central element of the mission of the School of Sciences and Mathematics is to sustain the involvement of its faculty in research and scholarship. Scholarly activities of the faculty not only are essential for maintaining the intellectual environment that characterizes an excellent institution of higher learning, but they support the mission of the College by providing students a community in which to engage in original inquiry and creative expression. Faculty members are urged to guide students in research activities whenever possible. All undergraduate programs in the School of Sciences and

3

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

Mathematics use independent study and student‐faculty research as important methods for developing intellectual independence and creativity as well as for teaching appreciation and understanding of sciences and mathematics. Research is central to the goal of leading students to connect their coursework with the techniques and applications of their disciplines.

Strategies and tactics in the College’s strategic plan your department would place as highest priorities

Strategy 1: Enhance the Undergraduate Academic Core 1.1 Provide each student a personalized experience that integrates classroom learning with at least two of the following: research and creative activities, civic engagement, study away, internships, and peer education. The School of Sciences and Mathematics believes that undergraduate research is essential to learning. Undergraduate majors receive a highly personalized experience when mentored by our faculty in current, relevant, private, state and federally funded research. This work aids a student’s comprehension of their field and better prepares them for graduate programs and industry work. Research grant funds provide students with stipends necessary to forgo jobs in unrelated areas so they can stay focused on their field and often travel to conferences where they present their findings.

The Department of Mathematics furthered the personalization of education with the implementation of ALEKS. This intuitive math placement exam, now mandatory for all incoming undergraduates, insures that math skills are properly assessed so students can properly design their course of study and increase their chances of success in their major and at the College. The Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry uses LearnSmartPrep as an on‐line, self‐paced tool to help students assess their preparedness to take introductory chemistry and to remediate any deficiencies at the start of the semester.

The School of Sciences and Mathematics continued to play a strong role in the College’s study abroad programs. Faculty led students to Trujillo, Germany, Panama, Indonesia, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, and the U.S. British Virgin Islands. Exchange programs with Xiamen University in China and the University of Tartu in Estonia continue to grow. The Department of Mathematics is in negotiations for an exchange program with the University of São Paulo in Brazil. Faculty members from the Department of Geology traveled to South Africa to begin planning for study abroad in Summer 2016.

Faculty and students of the Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences routinely travels for field research. This year 29 geology students completed their annual Maymester field studies trip which was comprised of three weeks of mapping geological sites in Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California. Sites included Yosemite National Park, Zion National Park, Cathedral Gorge, and North Rim, Grand Canyon. Fourteen BEAMS seafloor mapping students took a four‐day cruise off the coast of Charleston led by Drs. Leslie Sautter and Scott Harris. Six students experienced a 10 day field course at the Gerace Research Centre in the Bahamas during the December holiday break.

1.2 Enhance undergraduate academic programs that are strongly linked to the history, traditions, culture, and environment of Charleston and the Lowcountry, such as a new undergraduate majors in African‐American Studies and sustainability. Many of our programs take full advantage of our regional setting. The College of Charleston was recently listed among the Top 10 Marine Biology programs in the United States. The Grice Marine Laboratory on James Island offers the unique opportunity to collaborate and work with a large, diverse group of

4

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015 dedicated scientists at the Fort Johnson Marine Science Center. Our coastal South Carolina location provides an excellent setting in which to study and explore a variety of marine ecosystems. Students in graduate and undergraduate programs in Environmental Studies, Biology, and Geology also take advantage of our coastal location and partners at Fort Johnson.

Locations such as Dixie Plantation, Folly and Edisto Beach, and Frances Marion National Forest provide outdoor classrooms for natural science labs. Students can study marine and animal habitats, water systems, and botany in natural settings. Our climate allows for extended access to these areas. This summer construction of two field stations at Dixie Plantation was completed. These low carbon footprint, self‐sustaining buildings will provide classrooms right in the heart of this diverse ecosystem. The field stations will house classes offered in biology, geology, astronomy, archaeology and environmental studies beginning Fall 2015.

1:3 Develop academic programs at the College of Charleston North Campus to offer lifelong learning courses and programs to serve the needs of returning adult learners or non‐degree students. Classes required for the M.S. in Computer & Information Systems have been taught at the Lowcountry Graduate Center. The School continues to explore strategies to expand course offerings on this campus. Computer Science remains actively involved in the new Bachelor of Professional Studies by supporting a concentration in Information Systems. Seven elective courses in areas such as Communications Technology & the Internet, Website Design, Database Security, and Ethics in Information Systems are offered.

1:4 Strengthen the Honors College through dedicated faculty for innovative curriculum Faculty members in all six departments of the School contribute to Honors curriculum. The departments of Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, and Physics have dedicated Honors Intro Sections. Elizabeth Meyer‐Bernstein, Associate Professor of Biology, was named Associate Dean of the Honors College in summer 2014.

1:9 Increase significantly the numbers of and enrollments in interdisciplinary courses and programs Our faculty continues to contribute heavily to the First‐Year Learning Communities to foster interdisciplinary relationships between departments for unique learning experiences.

Chris Korey, Associate Professor of Biology, serves as Director of the First‐Year Experience.

The School houses two interdisciplinary programs that bridge the School of Sciences and Mathematics with the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Both the graduate and undergraduate programs in environmental studies as well as the neuroscience minor continue to see an increase in enrollments.

SSM has added 3 more roster faculty to the Neuroscience minor. With the expansion of the faculty we continue to see a steady increase in the number of graduating minors. There are now over 70 declared minors overall. The program has a strong relationship with the Neuroscience Department and Neuroscience Institute at MUSC which attracts students interested in pursuing research opportunities with MUSC faculty.

It is unclear what the future holds for an Interdisciplinary Major in Neuroscience at the College. Popularity of the current minor suggests heavy enrollment in a major, but this would potentially further strain already taxed resources in both Biology and Psychology. The Neuroscience Steering Committee

5

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015 will continue discussions but are generally agreed that a major would not be instituted until the renovations of the Rita Hollings Science Center are complete.

Assessment of the environmental studies minor showed that course offerings in the area of humanities and social sciences are currently inadequate, particularly in the area of political science. Like Neuroscience, faculty hope to develop BS/BA tracks in Environmental Studies.

Strategy 2: Develop nationally recognized graduate programs

2:1 Emphasize the acquisition of research and teaching grants to develop interdisciplinary, international and innovative programs that capitalize on our unique location and capabilities. Faculty in the marine biology program continued their success in securing extramural research and teaching grants. Faculty in this discipline secured $1.89M which includes a $575K MRI Acquisition grant from the National Science Foundation.

Funded research interests include: 1. Marine genomics 2. Detection of an invasive parasite of American eels 3. Modeling and analysis of the Gulf ecosystem 4. Analysis of jaws and backbones of sharks for inclusion on the vertebrate tree of life

2:2 Enhance graduate programs in marine biology, environmental studies, historic preservation, and arts management to achieve national recognition. Our Graduate Program in Marine Biology continues to be highly competitive and nationally ranked. The program attracts applicants from all over the country. Fall 2015 incoming students hail from institutions such as: Vanderbilt; Rutgers; Georgia State; Florida State; University of Kentucky; and Davidson.

The Masters of Environmental Studies (MES) program enrollment decreased slightly with 97 students actively enrolled and/or working on internships and thesis projects during the last year compared to the 113 on record for 2013‐2014. A total of 21 new students enrolled in the MES program in the 2014‐2015 academic year. Out‐of‐state students represented 39% of this total.

The ability of the MES program to provide students with a comprehensive background in both policy and science remains an attractive feature for prospective students. However, resources committed to this program are low. The program employs one full‐time Program Coordinator who oversees administrative duties, logistics, and advising. Dr. Tim Callahan, a professor of Geology, serves as program director. Currently there are no roster faculty members designated fully to this discipline. Classes are taught by adjuncts and faculty borrowed from other departments.

The MES Program has a prominent position in the revised strategic and master plans for the College of Charleston. The MES program and its Peace Corps Master’s International option and Dual‐Degree Public Administration/Environmental Studies program have a solid reputation and strong interest from prospective students, thus producing greater interest in University of Charleston graduate studies. However, the current structure of the program is not resilient. MES needs to increase the number of full‐time equivalent faculty in order to meet specific areas of need in sociology, chemistry, and education.

Strategy 4: Recruit, enroll, and retain an academically distinguished, well‐prepared and diverse student body.

4:4 Increase the amount of merit‐based and need‐based scholarship funding largely funded through private resources.

In the academic year 2014‐2015, the School of Sciences and Mathematics awarded approximately $195,500 in scholarships. These funds came from both private donors and public sources.

Fourteen incoming freshman intending to major in computer science were awarded recurring scholarships in amounts varying from $2500 ‐ $5000 per year. These funds were made possible by a special appropriation from the State of South Carolina. The appropriation was provided to support the College’s dedication to helping grow the Charleston a recognized digital hub by attracting the brightest and best to the area. Four of the fourteen recipients were female, mirroring the female population within the department which is 24% of the CSCI student body. Programs like Women in Computing have helped achieve a better gender balance in computer science.

Four students continue to be funded by a grant from the Clemson University Center for Workforce Development (CUCWD). Preference for this award was given to first generation college students from traditionally disadvantaged backgrounds and/or from underrepresented groups. All four recipients continue to maintain a 3.0 gpa to meet eligibility for renewal.

In an effort to retain minority students the chemistry department offered CHEM 103, a pre‐CHEM 111 course for twelve students who participated in the SCAMP/SPECTRA Summer Bridge program. After two summer sessions, these students had an average GPA of 3.06. The average Fall CHEM 111 grade is 2.7 versus the average grade for underrepresented minority students of 1.89.

This fiscal year Boeing continued its support by providing four scholarships for students interested in pursuing careers in the aerospace industry. The Dr. Stephanie Dellis Scholarship in Biology matured and was able to provide funds for one upperclass, biology major whose studies focus on molecular biology. BiblioLabs continued their commitment to pay full tuition for two in‐state computer science majors. The W. Frank Kinard endowment continues to grow and will soon provide funding for scholarships in the areas of chemistry and biochemistry. Other endowed scholarship funds continue to grow providing more funds to award each year.

Strategy 7: Provide up‐to‐date facilities and infrastructure to enhance academic, co‐curricular, and extracurricular programs.

7:1 Build, renovate, and maintain classrooms, laboratories, and studios that allow for a variety of class sizes and teaching and learning styles. The Rita Hollings Science Center was emptied in May 2014. The building was abated and the space has been prepared for construction. Physicians Auditorium is being demolished in late summer 2015. Departments normally housed in RHSC are temporarily located at Harbor Walk, the School of Sciences and Mathematics Building, SCRA, MUSC, and JC Long.

The Department of Computer Science has become quite comfortable in its newly acquired offices at Harbor Walk. This location allows faculty and students access to the fast growing Charleston Digital Corridor.

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

This summer, two new field stations opened on Dixie Plantation. They will begin housing classes, labs and support research efforts in Fall 2015.

In future years, the School hopes to move forward on a new building for the Grice Marine Lab at Fort Johnson. Plans are complete and most funding has been secured for this project.

Fall enrollments were up in most departments. We noticed a slight dip in enrollments in BIOL and PHYS Intro courses and suspect the recent move to Harbor Walk may be responsible. Majors from other Schools who are completing science credits may be avoiding the trip to Harbor Walk and are instead registering for Geology or Chemistry courses offered in SSMB at 202 Calhoun Street.

Research‐active faculty members in the School of Sciences and Mathematics teach a 3:3 course load, unless altered by special exception. In addition to teaching regularly scheduled classes and advising declared majors, faculty pursue research grants, mentor undergraduate research assistants, participate in external STEM outreach events, contribute to graduate and special programs such as Honors and First Year Seminar as well as interdisciplinary majors and minors such as Neuroscience, Environmental Studies, Science and Math for Teachers, and serve on

9

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

departmental and College‐wide committees. Instructors teach a 4:4 course load as well as participate in many of the same additional duties listed above.

In order to prepare major students for upper division courses, departments prefer to place roster faculty in introductory level courses. Unfortunately, the ability to make roster faculty available for foundation courses is limited by the need for their expertise in upper level and graduate courses. In introductory lecture sections only 58% of our students across SSM see a roster faculty member as their instructor. In larger departments, such as Biology, one unintended side‐effect of these efforts, particularly when combined with support for Honors and FYE, is that junior and senior majors increasingly report difficulty finding seats in upper level major courses. The implementation of the popular Public Health major increased enrollment in Anatomy and Physiology making it increasingly difficult for Biology majors to complete this course. For more information refer to the Assessment portion of this report.

Research and Professional Development This year Science and Math faculty members obtained $6.4M in newly awarded research grants and continued work on $24.8M in ongoing grants. Grants were from federal, state and private sources such as: National Science Foundation; US Fish and Wildlife Service; Medical University of South Carolina; Slocum‐Lunz Foundation; SC Department of Natural Resources; University of Southern Florida; Howard Hughes Medical Institute; National Institutes of Health (SC‐INBRE); Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation; American Chemical Society; NASA; NOAA; SC Sea Grant Consortium; and the Chandra Observatory at Harvard University.

SSM faculty published 187 articles in peer reviewed journals and presented their research at both national and international conferences. Over 60 students were published as co‐authors and also traveled to regional and national conferences to present posters. Research interests include: 1. Environmental issues such as: climate change; degradation of pharmaceuticals in waste water and its effects on the wildlife; relationship between population growth and land‐ cover change in Charleston; health of marine organisms; nutrient cycling in Antarctica; invasive seaweeds; green chemistry and the transformation of waste products. 2. Astrophysical topics: accretion onto black holes; structure of quasars; search for exoplanets.

Grants obtained for professional research can be found in Appendix A. Publications reported to the Faculty Activity System can be found in Appendix B. Special publications, conference proceedings, and patents can be found in individual department reports.

Service In addition to department programs and standing committees (such as curriculum, scholarship, assessment, long range planning, and safety) many SSM faculty members provide service to College‐wide committees and external professional organizations. Some examples of these activities include: College committees:

Outreach School of Sciences and Mathematics faculty, staff, and students participate regularly in STEM outreach activities throughout the Lowcountry and Tri‐County area. Faculty host school groups on campus, organize public events, and visit local elementary and high schools to give presentations that inspire interest in higher learning in the STEM fields. Thanks to their efforts thousands of students in the Charleston County School District and beyond are exposed to natural and physical sciences, mathematics, and computer science each year.

The Mace Brown Natural History Museum continues to be a favorite field trip for hundreds of local school children, senior groups, clubs and organizations, homeschoolers, local citizens and fossil aficionados, and tourists. The museum displays more than 3,000 fossil specimens that demonstrate how the Earth and life on Earth has changed over the past 3.45 billion years. In June 2013 Mr. Brown gifted his $1.6M collection of fossils to the School. This past year, the museum was expanded to accommodate an exhibit that displays examples of whale evolution. This new section of the museum house Cotylocara macei, the subject of a recent study by James Carew and Jonathan Geisler ’95 that dated echolocation as far back as 28 million years. Since opening in 2010, over 5000 local school children have enjoyed the museum.

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

On February 13, 2015, the School of Sciences and Mathematics teamed up again with Athletics to provide hands‐on activities to over 2000 local school children who attended the 3rd annual STEM Education Day at TD Arena. Faculty representatives from all six department as well as staff and students were in attendance with bones, biological specimens, marine touch tanks, rock samples, chemistry experiments, robotics, and math puzzles designed to engage students one on one and excite their curiosity in the sciences and mathematics. Afterwards, students cheered on the Women’s Basketball team as they played Hofstra. This popularity of this event demonstrates the need for STEM education outreach. Planning has already begun for 2015.

Last year the School began a partnership with the RiverDogs when it participated in Education Day at Joe Riley Jr. Park. In lieu of that event, the School brought STEM outreach to a Saturday evening game. Faculty and staff from the Department of Physics & Astronomy as well as faculty and students affiliated with the SC Space Grant Consortium participated in the Astronomers Without Borders, Global Star Party, hosted by the RiverDogs to celebrate the Hubble Space Telescope’s 25th Anniversary on Saturday, April 25, 2015. NASA loaned out a moon rock for the event and astronomy faculty were on hand with solar scopes so patrons could view the sun. The Lowcountry Hall of Science and Math set up an inflatable star lab for pregame outreach while physics faculty offered a table with hands‐on activities. Moon Pie donated treats as parting gifts for patrons.

Christine Moore continued to facilitate Girls Day Out. The event, held on July 25, 2014 attracted 55 young women ages 12‐14 from the Tri‐County area to campus. The overnight experience is a collaborative partnership with SPAWAR Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic, the National Defense Education Program, Trident Technical College and College of Charleston. The girls and their parents learned about various STEM career opportunities, degree programs, and admissions requirements. The mission of this program is to provide participants with the opportunity to meet women working in STEM fields and to provide hands on activities that promote and encourage programs of study and careers associated with STEM.

The 2015 Darwin Week was held February 7‐12, 2015 with an emphasis on teaching the controversy. As always lectures were provided by those in both the religious and scientific professions. Members of the College and Charleston communities packed venues to hear guest speakers who included: Jeremy Rutledge, Senior Minister, Circular Congregational Church; Lee Dugatkin, Professor of Biology, University of Louisville; Jon Hakkila, Professor of Physics & Astronomy, College of Charleston; John Hildebrand, Regents Professor of Neuroscience and Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Entomology, and Molecular & Cellular Biology, University of Arizona in Tuscon; Emily Willoughby, writer and scientific illustrator.

For the second year in a row, students from the Tricounty area participated in Piccolo Darwin Week. Lectures tailored to elementary age children were offered at venues both on and off campus and we offered tours of the Natural History Museum that documented whale evolution as well as a hands‐on simulated lab of virtual organisms.

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

This year’s Annual Math Meet attracted 442 students from 41 schools located in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. This is actually about 100 students less than averaged over past years. One major reason for the decline was due to renovations of Physician’s Auditorium. Sottile Theatre needed to serve as the main auditorium for the event and based on its availability, the Meet was scheduled for Valentine’s Day, which coincided with a President’s Day Holiday on Monday, February 16. Given the three‐day weekend, many schools were unable to attend due to prior commitments. Once the Meet is able to move back to its regularly scheduled timeslot at the end of February, we expect attendance to increase.

The College’s Math Meet started in 1978 and predates almost all other college sponsored high school mathematics competitions. It is designed to encourage students of all levels in their math studies. The Departments of Chemistry, Computer Science, and Physics also participate by offering events and demonstrations making the competition an all‐day event that advertises the College and exposes students to the broader impacts of mathematics on the sciences. The event achieved its goal of making many students feel like winners; 26 of the 41 schools that participated took home at least one award.

The Lowcountry Hall of Science and Math (LHSM), the School’s educational outreach center, held the 35th Annual Lowcountry Regional Science and Engineering Fair on March 24, 2015 at TD Arena. The Fair is open to students in grades 5‐12 in Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, and Georgetown counties. This year 126 students presenting 87 projects represented 15 schools including Academic Magnet High School, Porter Gaud, St. Andrews School of Math and Science, Burke Middle School, Daniel Island, and Palmetto Scholars Academy. There were 46 volunteer judges from the organizations such as College of Charleston, Boeing/AIAA, MUSC, NOAA, the Citadel, Charleston Soil & Water Conservation District, and S2TEM Centers SC. The Fair is affiliated with the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). Senior Division first place winner Bertrand Zhang, a twelfth grade student from Academic Magnet, represented the region at the ISEF in Pittsburgh, PA May 10‐16, 2015. Her expenses and those of her mentor were paid by the Lowcountry Science Fair and a donation from the Charleston Defense Contractors Association, a long‐time supporter of the Fair. Other corporate sponsors included Patriots Point Foundation Cold War Submarine Memorial Fund.

Cynthia Hall, Director of LHSM, served on the planning committee for the 2nd Annual Charleston STEM Fest, hosted by Lowcountry STEM Collaborative. The 2015 STEM Fest took place on February 7, 2014. Faculty from all six academic departments as well as student organizations participated by manning hands‐on activities and performing experiments for guests. Over 7,500 people attending the festival held at Brittlebank Park. STEM Collaborative partners include Bosch, The Citadel, Boeing, Google, InterTech Group, The South Carolina Coalition for Mathematics & Science, Charleston Southern University, and STEMPremier. SSM plans to participate in the third festival scheduled for February 6, 2016.

CORAL (Community Outreach Research and Learning) Program at Grice Marine Lab, led by Pete Meier, exposes students of all ages to the local marine environment through regular on and off campus programs. This year CORAL conducted 51 events that served approximately

13

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

3800 school children, which is triple the amount than in the previous year. In addition, CORAL regularly participates in group STEM outreach events such as STEM Day at TD Arena, STEM Fest, Earth Fair in North Charleston, and the Marion Square Green Fair which interface with thousands of students and adults in the Lowcountry. CORAL touch tanks have become a highlight of these events.

On November 3, 2014 Wendy Cory, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, worked with the Literacy Outreach Initiative (LOI) now Honors Engaged to host a day of science activities for 100 area fifth graders from Title I schools based on the book The Frog Scientist, a children’s book about SC native and world‐renowned herpetologist Dr. Tyrone Hayes. On December 11, 2014 100 sixth graders from Title I schools experienced the same type of program, this time based on the book Tracking Trash, a children’s book about trash found in the ocean, especially the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Both events were funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Students from Mitchell Elementary made their annual visit to the School in January 2015 to experience hands‐on science lessons. This event, now in its seventh year, provided learning opportunities in biology, chemistry, physics, and geology for over 200 students, grades 3‐6. The 2‐day field trip gave underrepresented students an intimate connection with the scientific process by working in fully equipped, state‐of‐the‐art laboratories, with real scientists.

Astronomy Observatory Open Houses are currently unavailable due to the ongoing renovations of the Rita Hollings Science Center (RHSC). The Astronomy Deck has been temporarily moved to the top of the St. Philips Parking Garage. Although this location is suitable for labs, it was decided it was not in the best interest of the safety and security of community guests to hold viewings in the garage. Public open houses will resume once the astronomy deck at RHSC is complete.

Faculty members regularly participate in outreach activities hosted by local and regional schools, career days, and science nights. Select educational outreach activities include: . Anthony Harold: Adopt‐a‐Highway participant . Eric McElroy: Guest speaker at Chicora Elementary Child Development Class . Courtney Murren: Exhibitor, James Island Elementary STEM night .

South Carolina Space Grant Consortium (SCSGC) is part of a nationwide network that promotes aerospace research, K‐12 and college education, and public awareness of NASA mission directorate initiatives. Within the larger context of national STEM initiatives, SCSGC promotes activities in research, education, and public engagement related to NASA’s mission. The College of Charleston serves as the lead institution for the SCSGC and SC NASA EPSCoR and the College acts as the Consortium’s legal and fiscal agent for both programs. SCSGC’s goals and objectives are: to increase access and understanding of space, Earth systems science, biological sciences, and aeronautics; encourage cooperative programs among colleges and universities, state organizations, business and industry, and pre‐college interests; enhance interdisciplinary research, education and public service activities; recruit and train students, educators, and professionals, especially women and underrepresented groups; promote a strong STEM base in SC education; facilitate statewide communication of NASA opportunities and programs. Students who work closely with this program have gone on to internships and jobs with NASA’s Goddard Space Center and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.

Lowcountry Hall of Science and Math is the education/public engagement arm of the College of Charleston’s Schools of Sciences and Mathematics (SSM), serving as a critical bridge between science and math faculty and educators. The LHSM provides a mechanism for communication and collaboration between SSM, the School of Education, Health and Human Performance (EHHP), regional educators, and the general public. The philosophy of the LHSM is providing the classroom teacher with a strong science and math education, the first step in achieving a solid knowledge base and hands‐‐‐on understanding of the natural world.

Since its inception in 1997, the LHSM has reached tens of thousands of students through the Lowcountry Regional Science and Engineering Fair (hosted by LHSM), SSM open houses at the College of Charleston, Community‐‐‐wide STEM Festivals and Education Days, Science and Math nights, etc. The LHSM has reached thousands of teachers through STEM professional development opportunities and as a resource library of STEM curricula for pre‐‐‐ and in‐‐‐service teachers.

South Carolina Earthquake Education & Preparedness Program (SCEEP) is composed of Geology faculty members whose broad research interests encompass everything from the cause of earthquakes to their likely effects and then share that information with the public and the appropriate emergency management groups. The group is funded by the SC Emergency Management Division and is responsible for promoting earthquake safety and examining hazards on a statewide basis.

DIVERSITY Faculty Recruitment Efforts The School’s roster of 137 faculty members has risen to 46% females, the largest underrepresented group in STEM fields, and approximately 20% of ethnicities other than Caucasian or of foreign descent. A comparison of recent percentage of women and minorities receiving terminal degrees in various STEM fields, and our employment percentages in those

18

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

fields is shown below. The comparison shows that SSM is a leader in providing fair employment opportunities to both demographic groups.

Minorities Women CIP Discipline IPEDS CofC IPEDS CofC 11 Computer and Information Science and 12.3% 23.1% 19.4% 23.1% Support Services 26 Biological and Biomedical Sciences 18.4% 12.8% 53.6% 30.7% 27 Mathematics and Statistics 9.7% 43.7% 29.1% 34.3% 40 Physical Sciences 10.0% 13.7% 34.0% 32.0%

When advertising for faculty positions, search chairs allocate additional funds to advertise in media available to minority audiences such as the Association for Women in Science and the Society for the Advancement of Native Americans and Chicanos in Science and the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers. Advertisements are also sent to institutions known to have large numbers of minority PhD students such as Howard University, Alabama A&M, Florida International University, and University of Puerto Rico. Academic requirements remain a priority in regards to potential hires.

During the 2014‐2015 academic year four, new roster faculty members began teaching in four of the six academic departments.

. BIOL: Assistant Professor, Daniel McGlinn, Caucasian Male, Ph.D. Oklahoma State University . CHEM: Assistant Professor, Katherine Mullaugh, Caucasian Female, Ph.D. University of Delaware . MATH: Assistant Professor, Justin Webster, Caucasian Male, Ph.D. University of Virginia . PHYS: Assistant Professor, Ian Rumsey, Caucasian Male, Ph.D. North Carolina State University

Student Diversity Efforts The South Carolina Alliance for Minority Participation (SCAMP) is an initiative of the National Science Foundation and is aimed at encouraging minorities to pursue degrees in STEM areas. A major goal of the program is to increase the number of underrepresented minorities receiving baccalaureate degrees in these areas. The long‐term goal is to increase the number of students matriculating in graduate studies in STEM fields. It is a subset of the Louis Stokes‐AMP national program. In South Carolina, the consortium is made up of the College of Charleston and nine other institutions of higher learning, with South Carolina State University serving as the lead institution.

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

The Summer Bridge Program for SCAMP is held in conjunction with SPECTRA during Summer II Session. SCAMP students register for the college level Pre‐calculus and accompanying Lab and work with tutors to help them succeed. The department of chemistry and biochemistry began offering a pre‐CHEM 111 course for twelve students who participated in the SCAMP/SPECTRA Summer Bridge program, CHEM 103. The participating students in this course for the past three summers had an average CHEM 111 grade of 3.06. The average Fall CHEM 111 grade is 2.6‐2.7. The average Fall CHEM 111 grade for underrepresented minorities students is 1.89.

Currently 35 students participate in SCAMP with 9 new students currently enrolled in SPECTRA. Some recent graduate accomplishments include: . Casey Wadsworth ’14: Accepted to MUSC College of Medicine . Lidoshka Marc ’14: Employed at Mead Westvaco as Associate Applications Chemist . Tomika Caldwell ’14: Attending MS Immunology program at MUSC . Briosha Sanders ’14: program Assistant of Expecting Health, at Genetic Alliance in Washington, DC . Jan Enabore ’14: Accepted to USC Greenwood Medical School . Tiffani Smalls ’14: Studying Nursing at MUSC . Joye Nettles ’15: Software Developer at ThoughtWorks

Women in Computing is an initiative of the Department of Computer Science. Despite the high female population at the College as a whole, the majority of majors in computer science disciplines are males. The goal of this new organization is to increase the number of female majors by focusing on female mentoring by female faculty. Under the direction of RoxAnn Stalvey, number of female majors in the department has risen to 24% of its student body. The national average is 18%.

Two external grant programs, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and the South Carolina National Institutes of Health IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (SC INBRE), help support undergraduate research and in particular emphasize the inclusion of underrepresented minorities.

The School’s complete diversity report can be found in Appendix C.

ASSESSMENT ACTIVITES Assessment takes place at both the school‐wide and departmental/programmatic levels. School‐wide assessment looked at what type of faculty provide instruction in our introductory general education courses, how many students participated in undergraduate research, and laboratory safety. The results show that we need additional lines to provide roster faculty to teach in introductory lectures and thus lessen our dependency on adjuncts (54.8% of intro students are taught by adjuncts), that we continue to provide research opportunities to over 200 students each year and that we require more resources to provide similar opportunities to more students (234 for credit in FY14, 217 for credit in FY15), and that our safety efforts continue to improve (departmental safety committees are becoming more

20

School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015

active). Departments assessed aspects of their program that were important to them. The School’s complete assessment report can be found in Appendix D.

STUDENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS Undergraduate/Graduate Research Undergraduate research remains a priority and a high impact experience for Science and Math majors. This experience often results in students presenting their research findings at regional and national conferences and/or being published alongside their faculty mentors in peer reviewed journals. This credit is invaluable for graduate and professional health school applications and further prepares students for their graduate studies. Each year approximately 250 students work in a research lab with approximately 50 experiences resulting in student author credit on an article published in a refereed scientific journal.

In November 2014, the School held its now annual research match‐making session which introduced faculty mentors to undergraduates eager for a high impact research experience. Approximately 150 students stopped by to meet with researchers from our six academic departments and the Medical University of South Carolina. Dozens of students were matched to a faculty mentor and began working in labs in Spring 2015.

SSM students were awarded a total of 76 research grants from the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities. These grants provide funds for materials, stipends for summer research, and cover travel fees to conferences and meetings. A complete list of awards and abstracts can be found in Appendix E.

The 26th Annual Undergraduate Research Poster Session featured 132 posters representing the work of 218 authors. A complete list of abstracts can be found in Appendix F. SSM students also presented at campus events such as the Graduate School Poster Session , Neuropalooza, and Celebration of Scholars.

In the Spring of 2015, the Dean of the School of Sciences and Mathematics awarded twenty students with stipends to support a summer research project.

Students presented research at regional and national conferences often winning scholarships and awards. Conferences and meetings include: SYNAPSE annual meeting; Society for Integrative Comparative Biology; American Chemical Society; US HYDRO Conference; American Fisheries Society Southeastern Division; Southeastern Society of Parasitologists; Southeastern Developmental Biology Conference; Southeast Enzyme Meeting; Lunar and Planetary Sciences Conference; Geological Society of America; USA CARIS 2015 Conference.

Medical School Acceptances The 2014‐2015 academic year saw an increase in student activity drawn from a pool of prospective students, currently enrolled students, transfer students, and alumni. An average of 30 students per week visited the Health Professions Advising Office. Of these, 139 students were accepted to professional schools including clinical programs in the following areas: medicine, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, allied health, and nursing. 60 students were accepted to medical schools (both MD and DO). Trends in medical school applications are changing and approximately 50% of students are applying the year they graduate rather than starting medical school immediately after graduation; taking a gap year. This trend has been well received by medical schools, but it presents new challenges in accurate student tracking.

Since the launch of Banner, the College’s software system, the pre‐health category helps to identify and track incoming pre‐health students. As of June 2015, more than 700 students were designated as pre‐health students with an assigned pre‐health advisor.

Pre‐Health Peer Mentors have recently been made available to make pre‐health information more accessible to all interested pre‐health students at the College. Student to student interaction has proven to be very successful.

The first annual Military Night was held on September 17, 2014. The purpose of the event was to offer pre‐health students the opportunity to learn about the various military scholarship opportunities offered through various branches of the military and to heighten awareness of students for those who serve in the military and the sacrifices they make that benefit everyone. The event was very popular and attracted a diverse group of students from across campus. It will continue as an annual collaborative event between SSM and local military recruiters.

SSM ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR THE FY15 ANNUAL REPORT

SSM assessed three program goals relating to delivery of general education courses, providing undergraduate research opportunities, and improving environmental health and safety.

1) PROGRAM GOAL: To provide students in general education courses with outstanding instruction provided by roster faculty members in the discipline.

The data below are for General Education lecture courses only. This is not to denigrate the instruction of laboratories at the introductory level. However, reality dictates that we will never have enough faculty lines to teach the lab sections. The hope is to be able to cover all the lectures with roster faculty.

Lectures Adjunct Adjunct Roster Roster Only Sections Students Sections Students BIOL 18 977 6 285 CHEM 5 199 10 397 GEOL 2 95 10 664 HONS 0 0 5 140 MATH 13 1390 59 1310 PHYS 2 82 15 526 Total 40 2743 105 3322

The table below shows the % adjunct usage over the last 4 fall semesters. % Adjunct Usage‐ Students Taught‐ Lectures Only 2011 2012 2013 2014 BIOL 68.4% 79.2% 60.1% 77.4% CHEM 36.5% 49.6% 42.9% 33.4% GEOL 19.1% 0.0% 25.0% 12.5% HONS 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% MATH 36.2% 27.6% 52.6% 51.5% PHYS 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 13.5% Overall 38.7% 42.6% 42.9% 45.2%

It is very evident that two departments have an extremely high adjunct dependence (BIOL and MATH) and a third, CHEM, has a very high adjunct dependency.

2) PROGRAM GOAL: To provide students with a highly personalized education enhanced by opportunities to perform

We are able to provide a large number of our students with opportunities. It is important to track these numbers for reporting to granting agencies.

3) PROGRAM GOAL: To enhance safety in all laboratory and field experience courses by working with the respective SSM departments and the office of Environmental Health and Safety to improve and add to existing policies and procedures. 4) A committee of SSM lab managers and faculty worked with the Director of Environmental Health & Safety and the College's Industrial Hygienist/Safety Manager to improve and add to existing policies and procedures. The SSM Lab Managers Safety Committee met on a regular basis throughout the fall, tackling a number of issues, solving some, discovering new ones. Challenges involving signage, waste pick-up, and training were addressed. An OSHA training workshop was held for the lab managers in December. Challenges remain in instituting laboratory inspections and establishing proper communication channels between stockroom personnel and their department chairs or facility manager. A meeting with department chairs and the Grice Marine Lab director was held in the spring to discuss communication issues. Wrestling through the process it was decided to focus on one department, the one with the most risk exposure, Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Academic Year Research Grant (AYRA)

1. Student: Sahand Askarian Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Gamil Guirgis Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Novel Isocyanation of Chloromethyl Silane As part of my long-standing research program in chemistry, we prepare, characterize, and predict the characteristic and spectroscopic properties of small organic compounds. This project was started as a result of a novel isocyanation mechanism that is not yet explained by the means of organic and inorganic chemistry. We correlate the theoretical ab initio predictions of molecules to the observed experimental values. This fundamental area of research may lead to interesting applications and certainly will lead to publications in a refereed journal. The refinement of fundamental knowledge is a very appropriate activity in which to involve undergraduate students in research in a meaningful and productive manner.

2. Student: Colin Cotter Major: Chemistry Mentor: Gamil Guirgis Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Believe it or not, not all six membered ring compounds are not in chair conformation: preparation, characterization, and spectra of cyclo- 1,3,5-trisiloxane Organo-silane compounds, molecules with both carbon and silicon, have a variety of uses ranging from making water proof clothing to assisting in making other chemical compounds. This projects aims to study organa-silane compounds in a ring formation by synthesizing 1,3,5- trioxatrisilanane. This compound has been predicted to have an extremely unusual shape where the C- Si ring in the compound is planar. Normal rings in chemistry almost always form a complex shape called chair where they atoms are spread out away from each other on different planes as opposed to be aligned on one. We aim to synthesize 1 ,3,5-trioxatrisilanane and study its structure through Raman and infrared spectroscopy for this project.

3. Student: Allen S. Hill Major: Physics Mentor: Alem Teklu Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Thin Film Characterization through Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy (RUS) is an experimental technique by which fundamental material properties can be obtained through acoustic probing. Many of the limitations of the RUS technique deal with the size, shape, and composition of the sample specimens. The samples used in the current RUS research at the College of Charleston are commonly a few millimeters in diameter. This particular experiment necessitates the characterization of a material that is on the order of a few hundred nanometers in thickness. The two overarching goals of this experiment include the adaption of current techniques so as to allow for the characterization of these materials. The second goal is to utilize this technique in order to characterize the mechanical properties for a thin film of Zinc Oxide. The vital component of this process is the construction of a new RUS sample cell – an apparatus wherein small micrometer sized samples can be mounted and examined. The apparatus utilizes two transducers, one of which drives the sample through the application of acoustic waves while the other measures the sample's response. These transducers are to be created with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) strips that are 9 micrometers thick. This piezoelectric film reduces noise and provides for more accurate measurements. The cell as a whole can be adapted to utilize the Dynamic Resonance Systems (DRS) Modulus 1, which is used for all other RUS work presently done at the college.

4. Student: Marino Mugayar-Baldocchi Major: Psychology Mentor: Daniel Greenberg Department: Psychology Anthony Bishara Title: Anchoring Autobiographical Memories Autobiographical memories are memories for the events of everyday life. They help provide the foundation of our identity and serve as a record of what we have done and where (or who) we have been. Most people report that they can remember back to the age of three or so, but memories from ages three to five tend to be vague and fragmented. How reliable are these memories, and how vulnerable are they to distortion and change? In a previous study, we sought to determine whether participants' earliest memories were susceptible to a subtle manipulation known as the anchoring effect. This effect occurs when the presentation of a number affects participants’ estimates of a subsequent uncertain quantity. In this case, we found that participants who received a low anchor (the number 1) reported earlier memories than those given a high anchor (the number 6). We now hope to replicate the effect and extend it by examining a broader range of childhood memories. In this way, we hope to understand how reliable and pervasive the effect really is, and whether it varies with the age of the memory. We hypothesize that anchoring will affect a range of childhood memories, not just their earlier memories, but that the effect will be stronger.

5. Student: Hannah Wilson Major: Biology Mentor: Joe Carson Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: An Innovative System for 3D Clinical Photography We recently developed a low-cost, user-friendly technique to take a single snapshot image using the commercially available Lytro camera and convert this image into a full 3D rendering that can be effective for the diagnostic monitoring of cancer lesions, such a Kaposi’s sarcoma – the leading cancer among men in Mozambique. By utilizing a relatively low cost (~$300) consumer camera as the technology backbone, the technique translates to an estimated cost of around 75 cents per diagnosis. This is an extreme benefit for areas of the world that cannot afford most 3D imaging technology that is available today. In contrast, for example, the commonly used Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has a typical cost of >$2,000 per diagnosis, as well as requiring expert personnel to operate it and substantial infrastructure to support it. Our technology provides a way for minimally trained personnel to operate it, and the complicated data processing work can take place at a location away from the resource limited setting, allowing relevant results to be succinctly summarized and restored to clinicians in the field. To prove the effectiveness of the technique, we and collaborators successfully carried out a pilot program at Maputo Central Hospital, the largest public hospital in Mozambique, and showed that effective, single-snapshot, 3D images of Kaposi’s sarcoma lesions could be obtained bedside by minimally trained personnel. The results are published in the Journal of Translational Medicine (Baghdadchi et al. 2014).

1. Student: Melina Acosta Major: Psychology Mentor: Jennifer Wilhelm Department: Psychology Title: Does estrogen mediate axon regeneration after peripheral nerve injury in males? Thousands of peripheral nerve injuries occur each year. Although nerves in the peripheral nervous system have the capacity to regenerate, recovery of function is often poor and incomplete leaving patients with long-term deficits. Previous studies have shown that exercise in the form of treadmill training causes an enhancement in axon regeneration following peripheral nerve damage that could improve functional recovery. Interestingly, this exercise induced increase in regeneration occurs in a sex dependent manner with males and females requiring different forms of treadmill exercise to achieve maximal regeneration. The mechanisms mediating this sex difference are relatively unknown. Previous studies have shown that androgens, such as testosterone, can enhance the regeneration of nerve following a nerve injury. However testosterone can be converted into estrogen; therefore, the enhancement by testosterone treatment may be due to an increase in estrogen. The present study will examine the effects of estrogen on axon regeneration in unexercised and treadmill exercised male mice. The common fibular branch of the sciatic nerve will be cut and repaired. Estrogen-filled or blank capsules will be implanted subcutaneously in male mice at the time of nerve transection. Three days post repair mice will be treadmill exercised for two weeks. Two weeks after the initial cut and repair, neurons whose axons will have regenerated past the original cut sites will be labeled with a retrograde dye. The number of labeled neurons will be counted to examine the effects of estrogen on axon regeneration. We hypothesize that estrogen treatment will enhance axon regeneration after peripheral nerve transection similar to the enhancement found in treadmill exercised mice. The results of these experiments will provide insight into whether exercise induced increase in axon regeneration is estrogen dependent.

2. Student: Alana Acuff Major: Anthropology Mentors: James Newhard Department: Classics Title: The Global Electronic Repository of Aegean Scripts (GERAS): post-processing 3D structured light scanning imagery The Global Electronic Repository of Aegean Scripts (GERAS) as an international, multi•year, interdisciplinary effort to record the extant remains of writing from the Late Bronze Age Aegean. Formed in 2012, it elected as its initial project to bring the Linear B archives from the Palace of Nestor at Pylos to full publication and access via traditional print and online media. Documentation of the archives includes tablet transcriptions, archaeological illustration, Reflectance Transformation Imagery (RTI), 3D imaging, X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) data, and archaeological context of tablet fragments via geographic information systems (GIS). In the summers of 2013 and 2014, GERAS collected raw image data of approximately 75% of the nearly 1,200 tablets and sealings from the archive necessary to complete the project. The College of Charleston serves as the informatics hub of the project, responsible for the development and maintenance of the GERAS database, user interface, image files (RTI and 3D), and geospatial component. In the 2014 academic year, students and faculty will be engaged in developing a prototype online interface, which will include refining the database structure, processing raw 3D imagery captured in 2013 and 2014 into final products, developing the online presence of GERAS, and refining the geospatial search capabilities. RTI image processing, tablet transcriptions, and illustrations will be concurrently undertaken by project members at the Universities of Texas and Toronto. This proposal specifically applies to the 3D post-processing component of the project, which will be undertaken by Acuff in collaboration with Newhard and Baxley.

4. Student: Aubrey Butcher Major: Marine Biology Mentor: Craig Plante Department: Biology Title: Effects of Beach Renourishment on Benthic Microalgal Communities Beaches are valuable resources providing recreational activities and storm protection, and sustaining diverse biological populations. One method of preserving beaches against the effects of erosion and sea-level rise is beach renourishment. Folly Beach completed a renourishment project from January-June 2014 and Tybee Island will begin their own project in November, 2014. Both projects involve transporting (via pipeline) sediment from offshore borrow sites onto the beach face in hopes of reversing erosional losses; however, other components of the ecosystem are affected as well. This study aims to monitor renourishment effects on benthic microalgae (BMA), a group of photosynthetic microbes found in coastal sediments. BMA, as primary producers, represent the basis of nearshore food webs. They also release extracellular polymeric secretions (EPS), which bind together sediment particles thereby inhibiting erosion and sediment transport. Despite these vital roles, few studies have examined the effects of renourishment on these microbes. By studying BMA biomass, composition, and EPS, this project will reveal the effects of specific renourishment practices (e.g., use of coarse borrow sediments) on benthic microalgae. Our research this past summer demonstrated that beach renourishment does significantly reduce BMA abundance immediately after the event. We also know that BMA recovery time is longer than 4 months, which is surprising given their motility and short generation times. More research is needed to understand the differences in BMA species composition between renourished and control beaches. Findings could lead to changes in renourishment protocols that favor BMA communities, thereby indirectly enhancing stabilization of newly added beach sands.

5. Student: Haley Cabaniss Major: Geology Mentor: John Chadwick Department: Geology Title: Prediction of Catastrophic Eruptions of Colima Volcano, Mexico, via Analyses of Long-term Trends in Lava Chemistry Volcan de Colima in western Mexico is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, erupting dozens of times in the past century. It is therefore an excellent laboratory for understanding temporal patterns of eruption activity and investigating how eruption magnitudes may relate to the varying chemistry of its erupted lavas and gases over time . Identifying a relationship between lava chemistry and eruption activity may allow for improved predictions of t h e particularly powerful and deadly eruptions that occur at Colima about once every century. This study will focus on the relationship between the chemical compositions of volatiles (gases such as water vapor and sulfur dioxide) released before, during, and after volcanic eruptions and those same volatiles trapped in tiny inclusions within the erupted lava itself. Since volatiles in volcanic systems are the most important drivers of eruptions, understanding their behavior during the period leading up to and during eruptions may allow for an improved method of predicting them. Working with a professional colleague in Mexico, student Haley Cabaniss collected lava samples at Colima during the summer of 2014 from several eruptions with known dates back to the 1960s. In this study, Haley and her College of Charleston mentor Dr. John Chadwick will analyze the chemistry of Colima lavas and the volatile gases trapped in them in an effort to identify temporal patterns in volatile behavior that signal impending larger eruptions. The project will provide the student with a wealth of field, laboratory, data analysis, and presentation experience.

6. Student: Kellen Lawson Major: Astrophysics Mentor: Joe Carson Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Searching for Extrasolar Planets with the Subaru SEEDS Survey The Strategic Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks with Subaru (SEEDS) survey is a five year international astronomical survey with 120 nights of observations using the Subaru telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii (Tamura et al. 2009). The intent of this survey is to directly image exoplanets and disks (the reservoirs of material around young stars from which these planets form) around stars and to better understand how they form and are related. More specifically, our research comprises a group within SEEDS that focuses on extrasolar planets around high mass stars. The importance of these stars lies in the fact that they often produce higher mass planets. Such planets retain more heat and are therefore more visible in infrared wavelengths in which we observe (Baraffe et al. 2003). Additionally, we will prioritize targeting the youngest stars in this category, for similar reasons to those above; namely, these systems will have more residual heat, again making planets more visible in the infrared. Alternative indirect detection strategies discover planets by observing their effects on the star, such as a slight drop in stellar brightness due to a transiting planet. Besides revealing the fact that the planet exists and offering basic limits on planet mass and orbit, these approaches are limited in the knowledge they provide. With the light from direct imaging, we can produce information on the planet's temperature, composition, and atmospheric chemistry. While technically difficult, this method allows us unique insights into characterizing planets and the parameters that affect their formations.

7. Student: Lawson Lloyd Major: Biochemistry Mentor: David Boucher Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Atomic Force Microscopy Study of Polymer Films Processed from Mixtures of Organic Solvents Functional materials that incorporate semiconducting polymers, which are now being used in solar cells and other optoelectronic devices, are processed by forming a thin film of a polymer solution onto an appropriate substrate, e.g., glass, quartz, etc. The random nature of the molecular packing of a polymer during this process is detrimental to the properties of functional composites, and has proved to be one of the main barriers to achieving high performance devices using polymer materials. In order to make these materials more efficient we need to control how the polymers organize themselves when the films are made. Our research group is trying to achieve control by using mixtures of organic solvents, wherein the disparate properties of the solvents in the mixtures, e.g., evaporation rates and viscosity, help the polymer assembly in different ways. Using over 100 different solvent mixtures, we have already shown that we can achieve control of polymer organization in the liquid phase, but now we need to see what happens when we actually make films from these mixtures. To accomplish this task we will use atomic force microscopy (AFM) to study the films that we make. AFM is a highly sensitive imaging technique that allows us to see the structure of polymer films on a molecular, or even an atomic, level. The high resolution possible with AFM will allow us to observe different film structures with a great level of detail that can then be tested as possible candidates for solar cells materials.

8. Student: Kaitlyn Manley Major: Applied Mathematics Mentor: Amy Langville Department: Mathematics Title: Calculus Workbook Series This continuing project aims to complete a series of calculus workbooks/journals for publication, aimed towards secondary and post-secondary students. We will be attempting to overcome challenges faced by educators in our field: Why are so many students turned off by math? How can we make it appealing and relatable? What are some successful strategies in engaging students with calculus? These books approach calculus from a new angle, providing a balanced development of concept- and calculation-based understanding. Inspired by Keri Smith’s Wreck This Journal series, we invoke creativity as the primary vehicle for instruction by appealing to kinesthetic learners and those who consider themselves as “non- math-minded.” Through student involvement and innovative designs, including physical activities, games, and graphic novellas, we intend to engage the students who are most commonly disconnected from this surprisingly lively and relatable subject. Highly illustrative, with a focus on visual cues and tactile involvement, these books can appeal to all students, regardless of prior mathematical interest. In order to accomplish this, we first intend to research design and educational strategies, existing and comparable texts, and other sources for creative inspiration. We will then test the books in at least two classes of business calculus and use the students’ feedback to improve upon their design. Finally, we will promote the series through academic connections made through conferences and other disseminations of our work. As two aspiring educators, we will get a hands-on experience of publishing an educational text by the completion of this project.

9. Student: Sean Mueller Major: Studio Art (Sculpture) Mentor: Jarod Charzewski Department: Studio Art (Sculpture) Title: Exploration of the Unifying Factors behind Community, Industry, and Growth through Sculpture Collaboration in the Landscaped Environment for Art Sean Mueller and Jarod Charzewski will construct a series of three to five pieces with the intention of placing them on public display and entering into various sculpture competitions and exhibitions. Sean and Jarod will explore what elements unify communities and industry, particularly during periods of growth. They will then express these elements in a series of sculptures for public display in the landscaped built environment, specifically the sculpture park. The sculptures will be completed by working together: developing designs, procuring materials, and creating the piece. The project accomplishes both Sean and Jarod’s goals of academic and career advancement, as well as having the opportunity of working collaboratively. Sean and Jarod predict the pieces will be installed in public exhibitions and receive high commendation in competitions.

10. Student: Joye Nettles Major: Computer Science Mentor: James Bowring Department: Computer Science Title: CHRONI – An Android Application for geochronologists to access archived sample analyses from the NSF-funded GeoChron.org data repository NSF requires data management plans as part of funding proposals and geochronologists, among other scientists, are archiving their data and results to the public cloud archives managed by the NSF-funded Integrated Earth Data Applications, or IEDA. GeoChron is a database for geochronology housed within IEDA. The software application U-Pb_Redux[l,2,3] developed by Dr. Bowring at the College of Charleston provides seamless connectivity to GeoChron for geochronologists to automatically upload and retrieve their data and results. CHRONI is a lightweight mobile application for Android devices that provides easy access to these archived data and results. With CHRONI, geochronologists can view archived data and analyses downloaded from the GeoChron database, or any other location, in a customizable format. CHRONI uses special documents called Report Settings that can be customized in U•Pb_Redux, stored in the cloud, and then accessed and used in CHRONI to create the customized data display on a mobile device. In addition to providing geologists effortless mobile access to archived data and analyses, CHRONI allows users to manage their GeoChron credentials, quickly download private and public files, and view specialized graphics associated with particular files. Future versions of CHRONI will be developed to support iDS- compatible (iPhone, iPod, and iPad) devices. CHRONI is an open source project hosted at https://github.com/CIRDLES/CHRONI.

11. Student: Alexis Payne Major: Physics Mentor: Alem Teklu Department: Physics and Astronomy Mike Larson Title: Resolving Airborne Particulate Concentration Inhomogeneities with a Schlieren Optical Technique Turbulence is a phenomenon that is present in many aspects of everyday life; even the act of walking through a room generates complicated turbulent eddies in the wake of the walker. Atmospheric particulates suspended in air are moved about by the complicated fluid motions associated with turbulence, though the general behavior of particulates is unknown. The purpose of this project is to explore the influence turbulence has on particulates is unknown. The purpose of this project is to explore the influence turbulence has on particulate clustering via use of the Schlieren Photographic technique. This light scattering technique can be used to investigate particle concentration fluctuations, which, in our experiment, would be driven by turbulence. The light that hits the airborne particles is scattered, and the scattering effect gives rise to an image that allows inference of the particle locations. Ultimately, statistical properties of the spatial clustering of individual particles will be linked to properties associated with the turbulence to attempt to quantify the effects of turbulence on particle clustering.

13. Student: Mariel Thottam Major: Psychology Mentor: Daniel Greenberg Department: Psychology Title: Stress, Coping, and Autobiographical Memory Everyone reacts to stress and trauma a bit differently. Some people are "cool under fire" no matter how difficult life becomes; for others, a seemingly moderate trauma can lead to substantial emotional distress, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research on PTSD has historically focused on pharmacological or psychological therapies for people who have been traumatized; however, recent studies have tried to identify risk factors that make one individual more susceptible to trauma than another. Neurological research, for instance, has identified differences in a brain region called the hippocampus, which is important for learning and memory: People with smaller hippocampi are more likely to fall victim to PTSD. Although these results are interesting and important, brain scans are cumbersome, expensive, and somewhat removed from the psychological symptoms that trauma can bring about. What if you could predict someone's vulnerability to stress and trauma with a simple paper-and-pencil test instead? In our study, we will focus on tests of autobiographical memory (memories for events of everyday life). Previous research has shown that overgeneral autobiographical memories – memories that are vague and short on details – often go hand-in-hand with emotional distress or psychiatric illness. We propose that this relationship exists because people with overgeneral memories are more vulnerable to stress. More specifically, people might develop a tendency to remember in an overgeneral fashion as a way of avoiding further exposure to stressful memories. If this is true, then we can use these tests to predict who will have a poor reaction to subsequent major stressors.

14. Student: Kelsey Marie Vollmer Major: Biology Mentor: Sorinel Oprisan Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Investigation of stimulus shape contribution to phase resetting curve Neurons are excitable cells that are silent most of the time and only briefly produce a burst of electrical activity called action potentials (APs) in response to inputs received from other neurons. Some neurons are intrinsic burster capable of producing a periodic sustained electrical activity. Such spiking neurons are frequently encountered as part of autonomous neural networks responsible for rhythmic activities, such as flying, swimming, walking, chewing, etc., called central pattern generators (CPG). The main mechanism used by neurons to respond and adapt to environmental stimuli is through changing their firing frequency proportional to inputs received. The relationship between the external stimulus timing and the change in the firing rate of the neuron is called a phase resetting curve (PRC). In addition to its application to investigating the mechanisms that allow the same neural network to generate multiple patterns of activities, e.g., the gait network can produce walk, trot, gallop, etc., the PRC can predict the synchronous firing of a large network that occurs during epileptic seizures. Our work this summer will focus on investigating numerically the relationship between the shape of the external perturbation and the PRC. For this purpose, a model neuron will be used to map the effect of external perturbations, such as the amplitude, duration, rate of change of inputs from other neurons, and the PRC.

15. Student: Benjamin Wilson Major: Computer Science Mentor: Joe Carson Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Extrasolar Planets and Disk Imaging using the Hubble Space Telescope The Hubble DICE survey is an observational program approved by NASA. The team consists of nineteen multinational experts in the field of astrophysics. Led by Dr. Glenn Schneider (Univ Arizona), there is an ongoing effort to study eleven carefully chosen stars with known circumstellar disks. The disks surrounding these young stars are interesting because they are believed to be the birthplaces of planets. By discovering evidence of planet formation in these disks, either by imaging disk gaps caused by forming planets or by directly imaging the planets themselves, one can gain invaluable insights to guide planet formation theories and ultimately help better understand the origins of our own solar system. We use the STIS camera equipped on the Hubble Space Telescope to observe our target stars, utilizing high resolution imaging techniques to probe precise and detailed structures of the circumstellar disk. Aided by the precision of the STIS camera, combined with the sensitivity of the Hubble Telescope, we collect data from these target stars at multiple telescope roll rotations. These observations allow us to, for the first time, explore sub- structures and, in particular, asymmetries that indicate the presence of recently formed planets. In particular, I have been working under the guidance of Dr. Joe Carson to develop a Variable- Pixel Linear Reconstruction, or “Drizzling”, procedure. This allows us to take advantage of the multiple roll angles in order to sub-pixelate the final image and increase the effective imaging resolution. We have successfully proven that this procedure, among others, aids the clarity of the disk and will be applied to our additional targets.

1. Student: Olivia Adams Major: Anthropology Mentors: Maureen Hays Departments: Anthropology Kimberly Pyszka Title: Landscape Archaeology and GIS: Understanding Cultural Adaptations and Tenant Farming in the Low Country, Hollywood, SC Conference: South Eastern Archaeological Conference Dixie Plantation (Hollywood, SC) has a long history of occupation, though little is known about the period post-Civil War, a time of social and economic change. For this research, the focus is on the transition of tenant farming through the mid-20th century. The ephemeral nature of tenant sites and the social significance of the transition mark this as a critical period for investigation. A preliminary picture of tenant farming will be presented through the analysis of existing architecture, historic documentation, and material culture. Using GIS to geospatially reference structure, site, and resource location allows for exploration on how alterations in landscape usage communicate changes in social relationships.

2. Student: Omorose Aighewi Major: Biochemistry Mentors: Wendy Cory Departments: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: The Photodegradation of Ranitidine in the Aquatic Environment Conference: 2015 International Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy Because of the wide use of pharmaceuticals, there is now increasing concern about their possible presence in public water systems and the surrounding aquatic environment. When exposed to UV light, the active compounds in some medications have been observed degrade into compounds that may pose a threat to aquatic life. In this research, the photodegradation of ranitidine (the active drug in Zantac®, an acid reflux medication) was investigated under simulated environmental conditions. The rate of solar photodegradation was determined for ranitidine in aqueous solution and in solutions containing humic acid, an important form of dissolved natural organic matter found in the aquatic environment, following photoexposure of these solutions in a solar simulator. Future work before the conference will include identifying the products of photodegradation using a chemical analysis technique called liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

3. Student: Zak Bartholomew Major: Anthropology Mentor: James Newhard Department: Classics Norman Levine Title: The Development of a Legacy GIS for the Contextualization of the Linear B Deposits from the Palace of Nestor at Pylos Conference: Archaeological Institute of America Annual Meeting The Palace of Nestor has been an important site for scholars since it was first excavated. One of the noteworthy classes of artifacts is the administrative evidence in the form of Linear B tablets and sealings. Concurrent with the formal, traditional publication of this assemblage is the development of a visual and spatial informatics system. One of the sub-tasks includes the creation of a GIS to spatially locate the fragments within the palace. While the location of the objects have been emphasized in previous studies, geospatial applications have advanced such that the spatial location of the tablets can be linked to other information and presented in a format that facilitates querying and exploration by the user. This project will give users the ability to query by tablet and series data. Results are displayed within a site map that shows the location of each queried fragment.

4. Student: Elizabeth H. Blankenship Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Jennifer L. Fox Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Wendy Cory Title: Metabolite Profiling of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Metabolomics is a field capable of improving medical diagnoses, drug therapies, and our current understanding of cell biology. Metabolites are small molecules that act as signatures of biochemical activity at the cellular level, detected primarily through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC• MS), a technique that allows for identification of the chemical compounds in a sample. To investigate metabolic differences experienced by cells in response to varying cellular conditions, we developed methodology for metabolite extraction of baker's yeast and analysis by LC-MS. Our results will be presented at this conference, including the reproducibility of this method for analysis of independent biological samples.

5. Student: F. Garrett Boudinot Major: Geology Mentor: Vijay M. Vulava Department: Geology Title: Sorption and Transport of Sildenafil in Natural Soils Conference: Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America Pharmaceutical Chemicals mainly enter our ecosystems from discharges of treated wastewater, and have direct effects on their ecological health. Sildenafil (Viagra) is one such chemical, whose effect on natural ecosystems is heretofore unknown. Given that sildenafil consumption (and concurrently disposal) is on the rise, it is essential that its behavior in the natural environment be understood. Thus, the goal of this study was to quantify how sildenafil travels and functions in differing natural soils. Experiments were performed using pristine organic-rich and clay-rich soils collected in a managed forest near Charleston, SC. Data from the experiments indicate strong chemical bonding of sildenafil to all soils, with clay-rich soils showing even higher bonding. Soil bonding acts as a filter in groundwater, effectively removing those bound chemicals from the water system. These results show that very little sildenafil will remain in the groundwater upon discharge into natural soils.

Student: Haley Cabaniss Major: Geology Mentor: John Chadwick Department: Geology Title: Prediction of Catastropic Eruptions of Colima Volcano, Mexico, via Analyses of Long-term Trends in Lava Chemistry Conference: Geological Society of America’s Annual Conference As the most active volcano in Mexico, Volcan de Colima is an excellent laboratory for understanding patterns of eruption activity and how the chemistry of its lavas and gases varies over time. Understanding how the chemical signatures of these volcanic products evolve may allow for improved predictions of the particularly powerful and deadly eruptions that occur at Colima about once every century. Working with a professional colleague in Mexico, student Haley Cabaniss collected lava samples in Colima during the summer of 2014 from several eruptions dating back to the 1960s. In this study, Haley and her College of Charleston mentor Dr. John Chadwick are analyzing the chemistry of Colima lavas and volatile gases trapped in tiny inclusions within these samples to understand how their variability relates to the pattern of eruptions over time to identify patterns in volatile behavior that signal the start of eruptions.

7. Student: Christine Logan Chambers Major: Psychology Mentor: Lisa Thomson Ross Department: Psychology Title: The Role of Sex Education for Reducing Risky Behaviors Conference: Society of Southeastern Social Psychologists Early sexual behaviors (ESBs) and risky sexual behaviors (RSBs) put young adults in danger of unwanted outcomes (STD/STI, pregnancy, sexual aggression). The current study focused on the prevention of ESBs/RSBs through sex education. Secondary data was used to test the hypothesis that students reporting higher quality sex education would have lower reports of ESBs/RSBs. College women (N=260, 73% Caucasian, M = 19 years) completed a survey on the quality of sex education (family and school) and ESBs/RSBs. Sex education quality was more valuable from mothers than fathers. Participants who reported the sex education from their mothers as more valuable were more likely to report their first sex was with a partner they had known longer and closer to their age. Participants reporting more valuable father sex education also reported fewer sexual hookups. Surprisingly, school sex education was unrelated to ESBs/RSBs. Family-based sex education can be valuable for reducing ESBs/RSBs.

8. Student: F. James Claire Major: Chemistry Mentor: Richard Himes Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Synthesis of novel dual-active antimitotic chemotherapies Conference: South Eastern Meeting of the American Chemical Society The goal of this project was to design and synthesize a novel chemotherapeutic compound. One way to make chemotherapies more effective is to design the drugs such that they will bind to multiple sites within cells to disrupt several cell processes. Our compound was designed based on the chemically- active structures of two molecules that are known to inhibit cell division in different ways. Combretastatin A-4 (CA4), the first of these molecules, attacks microtubulin within a cell to prevent cell division. The second molecule is a Roche drug that suppresses tumors by attacking a specific site abundantly found in tumor cells of many types of cancer. The combination of these two compounds’ structures will allow our novel chemotherapy to bind to both of these sites therefore having greater cytotoxicity to cancer cells.

9. Student: Lundy Davis Major: Biology Mentor: Brooke Van Horn Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Iodinated Hydroxylamines for X-ray Opaque Polyester Materials Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society X-ray imaging is a common technique used in medical science in which contrast agents injected in the body are illuminated to detect and diagnose disease states. Our lab aims to guide X-ray imaging science away from the current limitations associated with small molecule contrast agents and toward polymer systems. The polymeric systems we are building have the benefit of being tunable in size and the potential to target tissues, diagnose/image and treat disease through personalized medicine. In summer 2014, we fulfilled our goal of successfully synthesizing a triiodo small molecule and conjugating it to varying polymer chains. We will continue to improve the synthesis and purification of the triiodo small molecule and conjugate it to polymer chains for higher iodine concentration, as well as evaluate our products using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) at CofC and by X-ray analysis with collaborators at Clemson University.

10. Student: Lauren Deasy Major: Psychology Mentor: Daniel Greenberg Department: Psychology Title: Sociability, Personality, and Autobiographical Memory Conference: Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Psychological Association Our memories provide us with a record of where we have gone, what we have done, and who we have been. On a social level, they connect us to a point in history (as with memories of 9/11), and they help us establish relationships with others. Most people recall memories that are detailed, rich, and vivid; however, other people report memories that are overly general, and they cannot provide specific details, even when pressed. People who tend to retrieve overgeneral memories are vulnerable to depression and other mental illnesses as well as several forms of cognitive decline. In this study, we examined the relationship between personality, social support, and memory in older adults. We found that strong support of family members led to stronger and more positive autobiographical memories; the support of friends had no significant effect. We now plan to present these findings at the Southeastern Psychological Association's annual meeting.

11. Student: Taylor Domenick Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Wendy Cory Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Photodegradation of Fluoxetine in the Aquatic Environment Conference: 2015 International Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy The effect of the release of pharmaceuticals into the environment is gaining attention due to their potentially deleterious effects on aquatic organisms. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine (Prozac®) has been reported to persist (remain) in the aquatic environment. Photoexposure has been documented to degrade pharmaceuticals and result in the formation of new compounds (products) with diverse activities. In this work, aqueous solutions of fluoxetine were exposed to simulated sunlight with and without humic acid (HA), a form of natural dissolved organic matter found in the environment, to mimic natural water conditions. After light exposure, the samples were chemically analyzed and the rate of fluoxetine photodegradation was determined. Data indicated that the half-life of fluoxetine in water was 46 hours, meaning it took almost two full days for half of the sample to degrade. Humic acid was observed to speed up the degradation reaction.

12. Student: Tess Dooley Major: Marine Biology Mentor: Robert Podolsky Department: Biology Title: Fertilization in single- and multiple-male spawnings under elevated CO2: implications for reproductive success in response to ocean acidification Conference: Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology Annual Meeting Ocean acidification (OA), where CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, is of major ecological concern because it interferes with pH-sensitive biological processes. Our recent research suggested that predicted near-future levels of OA will negatively impact fertilization in the sea urchin, Arbacia punctulata. However, recent literature reviews have noted that OA more weakly affects fertilization in studies that mixed gametes from multiple mating pairs. To test the hypothesis that group spawning reduces the negative effects of OA, we measured fertilization success under current and 2.5x-current CO2 conditions using single- and multiple-male crosses. We did not find a significant effect of CO2 on fertilization and the multiple-male crosses did not show greater resistance to the effects of CO2. However, the multiple-male crosses showed significantly lower fertilization than the average fertilization of the single-male crosses, indicating an interaction among sperm that could reduce fertilization success for females that spawn in larger aggregations.

13. Student: Aliya Dumas Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Wendy Cory Department: Chemistry & Biochemistry Title: Photodegradation of Diphenhydramine Conference: 2015 International Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy Pharmaceuticals enter the sewage system as the result of human excretions or improper disposal of unused medications. Often, these compounds are not wholly removed during the wastewater treatment process. Once in the aquatic environment, they are then exposed to sunlight which facilitates photochemical degradation. In this work, the photodegradation of diphenhydramine (Benadryl®, a common antihistamine) in aqueous solution was investigated. Solutions were exposed to light in a solar simulator, then chemically analyzed in order to measure the amount of diphenhydramine left in solution as well as any new compounds (products) that might have formed as a result of the photochemical reactions. The effect of humic acid, a form natural organic matter found dissolved in natural water samples, was investigated. The resulting data was used to determine the rate of the photodegradation reactions, and the products of these reactions were also measured and identified. 14. Student: Hannah Evans Major: English Mentor: Simon Lewis Department: English/International Studies Title: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie against the single story: intersections of virtual space, transnationalism, and feminism Conference: British Commonwealth and Postcolonial Studies Conference This project explores Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s layered narrative in her novel Americanah. Adichie writes virtual space in a transnational context, through her protagonist’s blogs, to scrutinize racism in the U.S. and give intersectional perspectives on feminism and nationality. She inhabits multiple spaces, both literary and actual, rejecting a “single story” of Nigerian literature. A close reading of Adichie’s fiction and that of relevant African and African-American contemporaries forms my foundation. I situate this reading within the context of Adichie’s presence in popular culture, including TED talks, online articles, and a blog based on her protagonist’s blog in Americanah. I examine how Adichie inserts herself into and pushes against Nigerian literary tradition. Virtual space in Americanah gives insight into how Adichie’s transnational status enables her bold comments on American racism and cross- cultural feminism. Virtual space connects the narrative functions in Americanah to Adichie’s participation in popular and literary discourse.

15. Student: Chloe Fletcher Major: Data Science Mentor: Jason Howell Department: Mathematics Title: Dynamic Modeling of Targeted and Non-targeted Advertising Strategies Conference: Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences 2014 Annual Meeting With the growing collection of data regarding the depth of detailed knowledge of consumer habits and trends, firms are gaining the capability to discern customers of other firms from the market of uncommitted consumers. Firms with this capability will be able to implement advertising campaigns where the advertising effort towards customers of competing firms differs from that towards uncommitted customers. We develop two mathematical models for the dynamic behavior of sales due to competitive advertising in a setting with a small number of competing firms. One model (non-targeted) assumes the advertising effort is the same for both categories of customers, and the other model (targeted) gives firms the capability to allocate advertising effort across the two categories differently. The models are mathematically analyzed and we formulate and answer several strategic questions that a firm may face when implementing a targeted policy.

Student: Malka Fox-Epstein Major: Public Health Mentor: Beth Sundstrom Department: Communication/Public Health Andrea DeMaria Health and Human Performance Title: Investigating correlates of daily and nondaily contraception use among college-aged women Conference: 142nd American Public Health Association Annual Meeting and Exposition One third of unintended pregnancies in S.C. are among women in their twenties. The majority of these women use “the pill” as their primary method of birth control, which has a higher failure rate than nondaily contraception. This study investigated correlates of daily and nondaily contraception use. 663 participants aged 18-24 years completed self-administered web based surveys. Contraception methods were categorized as daily (oral contraceptive pill) and nondaily (IUD, implant, injection, patch, vaginal ring). Results showed nondaily users were more likely to have a history of vaginal (p=.02) and anal (p=.01) intercourse, giving (p=.02) and receiving (p=.02) oral sex, and greater frequency of solo masturbation (p<.01) during the past four weeks than daily users. Those classified as overweight or obese were significantly more likely to primarily use nondaily contraceptive methods (OR 3.82; 95% CI [1.61, 8.77]; p<0.01). Findings suggest opportunities to increase uptake of nondaily methods among college-aged women.

17. Student: Megan Freifelder Major: Elementary Education and Dance Mentor: Gretchen McLaine Department: Theatre and Dance Title: To “e” or not to “e”? Using technology for enhanced collaborative learning and self-reflection Conference: National Dance Education Organization Conference 2014 Our research project, “To e or not to e,” is a study on how technology, specifically the use of e- portfolios, can expand the way artists engage in collaborations, receive and apply feedback, and how they can be effectively used to assess dance education practices and outcomes. E-portfolios are a key tool to artists’ engagement in meaningful assessments and reflective practice. Our research demonstrates the need for dance educators to incorporate e-portfolios and other technology into their teaching, and that prospective employers in this market prefer seeing the applicant’s work in one place and in a creative, up-to- date, format. The resulting presentation will provide attendees easy-to-use, practical applications for implementing various technologies in their classrooms, and the value of such.

18. Student: Madeleine Gordon Major: Chemistry Mentor: David Boucher Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Mixed-solvent Directed Assembly of Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Films Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials are a growing field in the area of solar cell research. Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is a common photovoltaic polymer used in the construction of OPVs and the structure of solid P3HT thin films plays a central role in device efficiency. Our research explores the structural order and assembly of P3HT thin films through fine adjustments made in the composition of solvent mixtures used to process these solar cell materials. We have used different optical and atomic force microscopy imaging techniques to observe the structure of the film surfaces, which is critical to the efficiency of P3HT-based solar cells. Our research has shown that small changes in the composition of binary organic solvent mixtures and P3HT film processing procedure lead to drastic changes in the P3HT film structure. Our observations will help improve our understanding of what structures are optimal for the performance of P3HT-based solar cells.

19. Student: Avigeet Gupta Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Timothy Barker Department: Chemistry Title: Synthesis of Unnatural Amino Acids Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Amino acids are the basic building block of all living things. There are twenty naturally occurring amino acids in nature. We examined methods to make unnatural amino acids in the chemistry laboratory that have previously never been made. These unnatural amino acids will then be connected into a string of natural amino acids. We focused our efforts on the synthesis of the unnatural amino acids.

20. Student: Nicholas J. Harris Major: Biology Mentor: Jennifer L. Fox Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Mutational Analysis of Heme A Synthase Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Proteins act as the agents that orchestrate an intricate series of chemical reactions in our bodies' cells, through which all of the components of the cell are created, broken down, and transformed into useful molecules. There are thousands of unique proteins within a cell, each with its own specific role. The goal of this project is to understand how the cell synthesizes the large protein complex cytochrome oxidase, which has a crucial role in the cell’s ability to generate energy. Improper function of cytochrome oxidase can lead to a broad range of negative impacts on human health. To determine the mechanism for the complicated assembly process of cytochrome oxidase, we focused on one of the steps that is not yet understood (specifically, cofactor synthesis and installation into the maturing complex). We investigated this step by altering the enzyme responsible for performing it and analyzing the effects of those modifications.

21. Student: Alyssa Johnson Major: Geology Mentor: John Chadwick Department: Geology Title: Analyzing the Eruptive Phases of the Blue Dragon Lava Flow through Hyperspectral and Multispectral Remote Sensing and Geochemical Analysis Conference: Geological Society of America 2014 The Blue Dragon flow resulted from a volcanic eruption approximately 2,000 years ago at Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho, and is one of the largest single lava flows in the contiguous United States. Field work conducted by Dr. John Chadwick and student Alyssa Johnson in the summer of 2014 revealed that the flow resulted from multiple eruption phases. Geochemical analysis on the collected lava samples is performed using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) for major and trace elements at external laboratories after preparation in Dr. John Chadwick’s high temperature geochemisty lab. Chemical analysis of the lava samples reveals that the magma supplying these eruptions evolved over time in a shallow magma chamber. Remote sensing satellite images are also being used to determine the boundaries and volume of the eruptive phases.

22. Student: Savannah Jones Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Timothy Barker Department: Chemistry Title: Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Minisci Reactions Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Heterocycles are molecules with a ring of carbon atoms that also contain nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur. Heterocycles are an important class of molecules to study because they are often found in drug candidates and medicines. The ability to easily modify a heterocycle is useful to medicinal chemists because they are then able to create many drug candidates with slightly different structures and physical properties. We developed a method to modify heterocycles to provide medicinal chemists an efficient way of preparing many different drug candidates from a single heterocycle starting material.

23. Student: Lisa Kasprzok Major: Chemistry Mentor: Wendy Cory Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Solar Photodegradation of Sertraline in the Aquatic Environment Conference: 2015 International Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy Pharmaceuticals are being released into our aquatic environment by wastewater treatment plants and are increasingly being detected along with the products that they turn into after chemical reactions in the environment. These new compounds can be more toxic than the pharmaceutical itself. We investigated what happens when solutions of sertraline (Zoloft®), a commonly prescribed anti-depressant, are exposed to sunlight. Some solutions contained humic acid, a form of natural organic matter that is found in the aquatic environment. Samples were photoexposed in a solar simulator and analyzed at certain time points. As expected, the concentration of sertraline was observed to decrease due to photodegradation. Sertraline was observed to photodegrade quickly, within the course of a day; added humic acid made it photodegrade even faster. Future work, to be included in the presentation, will include evidence of new compounds that formed using a chemical analysis technique called liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

24. Student: Kellen Lawson Major: Astrophysics Mentor: Joe Carson Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Searching for Extrasolar Planets with the Subaru SEEDS Survey Conference: American Astronomical Society 225th Meeting This research comprises the major part of the High-Mass Star study within SEEDS, a direct imaging exoplanet survey. Observations for the survey are carried out using the 8-meter Subaru Telescope’s HICIAO camera in near-infrared wavelengths. We utilize sophisticated software to remove much of the star's light in the images in order to resolve the relatively much fainter planetary light. Once confirmed, additional observations may allow for a wealth of information to be uncovered regarding the planet – including planet temperature, composition, and atmospheric chemistry. These measurements aid in filling a significant gap in the census of exoplanet data, and will help to reach a more complete understanding of the nature of these astronomical bodies. In January, the survey's progress to date will be reported – including the nature of the novel methods used in processing our data, improved software sensitivities, and the prior discovery of the Super-Jupiter planet Kappa Andromedae.

25. Student: Robert Lemasters Major: Physics Mentor: Mike Larsen Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Investigating the Dependence of Fractal Dimension on Raindrop Size for Drop Arrival Times as Measured by a Two-Dimensional Video Disdrometer Conference: American Geophysical Fall Meeting The statistical structure of rainfall is an important, yet not well characterized subject in the field of atmospheric microphysics. For most purposes, raindrops are assumed to arrive in a completely random fashion. However, when rainfall is looked at closer, one will find that this is not quite the case and that rain has an inherent “clumpyness” to it. This project is mainly focused on characterizing this observed deviation from perfect randomness and how this evolves throughout a given storm. There exist a variety of methods that can used to better identify these deviations, but for this project we attempt to calculate what’s called the “Monofractal Dimension” of a storm because of its easy implementation and relatedness back to physical phenomena. With data provided by a novel rain-measuring instrument array located at Dixie Plantation in Hollywood, SC, we have developed a better understanding of the behavior of rain.

26. Student: Danielle Massé Major: Applied Mathematics Mentors: Jason Howell Department: Mathematics Title: Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluid Dynamics in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Conference: Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics Conference on Computational Science and Engineering Prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms in the general population is estimated to be at least 2%, and rupture of these aneurysms often directly leads to mortality. Biomedical research has indicated that dynamic characteristics of the blood flow inside arteries with aneurysms are risk factors for both the enlargement and rupture of the associated aneurysm. In Summer 2014 this project analyzed these blood flow characteristics inside arteries with aneurysms from a mathematical and computational standpoint. In the model, an idealized shape of an aneurysm was constructed and subsequently adjusted to account for characteristics found in actual aneurysms. Data from the simulations indicated that the force along the arterial walls of an asymmetric aneurysm presents a larger gradient than symmetric aneurysms, which could lead to further growth and possibly rupture of the modeled aneurysm. Ongoing research will extend these simulations to more realistic geometries and fluid parameters.

27. Student: Grace Moxley Major: Biology Mentors: Andrea DeMaria Department: Health and Human Performance Beth Sundstrom Public Health/Communication Title: Predicting women’s responses to contraceptive campaign messages: An application of the theory of planned behavior Conference: Society for Public Health Education 66th Annual Meeting Despite widespread use of the oral contraceptive pill (OCP), half of all pregnancies in the US remain unplanned. Nondaily (e.g., vaginal ring, patch) contraceptive options offer an alternative approach that has proven more effective than the OCP in preventing pregnancy. Despite high rates of unintended pregnancy, reported lack of satisfaction with traditional methods, and the success of nondaily options in studies and clinical trials, women in the US continue to rely on the OCP as their primary birth control method. Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) (e.g., intrauterine device, implant, injection), a category of nondaily contraception, eliminate the possibility of user error and offer higher rates of effectiveness. The recent Affordable Care Act requires that all FDA-approved contraceptives, including LARC methods, must be covered by health insurance. Research suggests with the barrier of price removed, LARC methods become a more realistic option for all women. This research project offered an interdisciplinary approach to investigate psychological, clinical, and behavioral factors impacting contraceptive choice. Research findings will extend public health and communication concepts, methods, and theory to offer practical recommendations for campaign development.

28. Student: Marino Mugayar-Baldocchi Major: Psychology Mentors: Anthony Bishara Department: Psychology Title: Anchoring Effects on Earliest Autobiographical Memories Conference: Annual Meetings of the Psychonomic Society and Society for Judgment and Decision Making The current project investigated the malleability of people’s earliest memories. We were particularly interested in whether participants’ reported age of their earliest memory could be influenced by a subtle cognitive technique called anchoring. Anchoring is the choice of an arbitrary number that influences a person’s estimate. There were two conditions with an anchor present, one to pull the age estimate up and one to bring it down, and a control condition with no anchor. After reporting the age of their earliest memory, participants then had to rate certain aspects of that memory on 7 point scales. The results suggested that participants’ estimates were pulled up by the anchor but were not brought down the other anchor. Moreover, the reported age of the memory was more malleable if the person recalled the event in a third person perspective as opposed to a first person perspective.

29. Student: Joye Nettles Major: Computer Science Mentor: James Bowring Department: Computer Science Title: CHRONI – An Android Application for geochronologists to access archived sample analyses from the NSF-funded GeoChron.org data repository Conference: 2014 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting Today, geochronologists are archiving their data and results to public cloud archives managed by the NSF-funded GeoChron database. The software application U-Pb_Redux[l,2,3] developed by Dr. Bowring at the College of Charleston provides seamless connectivity to GeoChron for geochronologists to automatically upload and retrieve their data. CHRONI is a mobile application for Android devices that provides easy access to this information. With CHRONI, geochronologists can view archived data and analyses downloaded from the GeoChron database, or any other location, in a customizable format. CHRONI uses special documents called Report Settings to create the customized data display on a mobile device. In addition to providing geologists effortless mobile access to archived data and analyses, CHRONI allows users to manage their GeoChron credentials, quickly download private and public files, and view specialized graphics associated with particular files. Future versions of CHRONI will be developed to support iDS-compatible (iPhone, iPod, and iPad) devices.

Nicolau Major: Biochemistry and Biology Mentor: Brooke Van Horn Department: Chemistry & Biochemistry Title: Investigations into the Ring-Opening Polymerization of 1,4,8-trioxa[4.6]spiro-9-undecanone (TOSUO) using an Organocatalyst Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Current polymer science is evolving in its preparation of materials for an expanding variety of applications and to fill those needs, synthetic chemists must have precise control over the properties of those materials and therefore the means that we employ to make them. We are exploring organic catalysts for the synthesis of materials using analog molecules of epsilon-caprolactone. These polymers have significant value in biomedical applications where the health and safety of the material may require moving away from traditional heavy metal catalysts. We are preparing copolymers of epsilon- caprolactone and a ketal-containing analog as a means to introduce functional groups in the polymer in subsequent chemical reactions. Interestingly, we create polymers with one monomer inserting preferentially rather than randomly or statistically early in the polymerization process, giving gradient copolymers. This undergraduate presentation will highlight our preliminary results using NMR and GPC characterization of the polymerization process and final products.

31. Student: Brenna C. Norton-Baker Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Marcello Forconi Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry 19 Title: Introduction of FT-IR and F NMR probes in proteins via SNAr Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Many proteins need to fold in a globular structure to perform their functions. A folded protein can harbor microenvironments with significantly different characteristics. The development of specific probes to determine the properties of these microenvironments is an active area of research. We have used a simple chemical reaction to modify proteins and site-specifically introduce probes suitable for vibrational spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. This reaction uses cheap and relatively safe reagents, making it suitable for settings such as undergraduate institutions.

32. Student: Derek Novo Major: Physics Mentor: Sorinel A. Oprisan Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Fluctuations in network’s parameters and their effects on the shape of interval timing output Conference: Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience In most species, decision making, rate calculation, and planning necessitate temporal estimations in the seconds-to-minutes range (interval timing). Briefly, a conditioning stimulus (light or sound) is presented to a subject for a to- be-learned duration and the subject's first response after the stimulus is terminated is reinforced with a reward. After this training, the conditioning stimulus is instead presented for threefold the duration of the learned time without reinforcement. During this procedure, the subjects respond less at the beginning, most around the learned time, and then gradually less as the trial ends, following a tailed Gauss-like distribution with a standard deviation proportional to the learned time. We used a computational network of oscillators that mimics the activity of some neurobiological structures known to be involved in interval timing. We found that small fluctuations of the network’s parameters have specific signatures that help to reveal the source of noise perturbing the network.

33. Student: Tyler Perini Major: Mathematics (Applied) Mentor: Amy Langville Department: Mathematics Title: The Humility Project: Text Analysis for Characteristic Linguistic Patterns Conference: Southeastern Chapter of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences There has been a growing interest in using language data to identify, quantify, and differentiate individuals as either having or lacking certain traits, and in this research, our interest lies in humility. We hope to empower the developing concept of humility’s psychological construct by unveiling the hidden linguistic trends in self-reported answers from volunteers, treating sentences from responses as documents, while comparing to the individuals’ respective humility scores. After initial data collection, we use a web tool to extract usage of terms, parts of speech, and semantic categories, which will initialize a sparse feature-by- document matrix, A, where we then introduce some term-weighting methods. By applying nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), we decompose this matrix into two matrices that identifies some k number of trend vectors that best describe the data set: the W matrix specifies the weights of the terms’ belonging to each topic, and the H matrix shows the topic distribution over the documents. By varying the values for k, and manipulating the weighting schemes used, we hope to find valuable topics that are uniquely characteristic for the ’humble’ documents. From the topic-by-document H matrix, we may cluster the documents and evaluate the significance of the specified topic vectors; on the other hand, the term-by-topic W matrix allows us an easy resource for visualization, i.e. by creating word clouds of the characteristic words within the descriptive topics. With further improvements, the objective for this research is to create a tool that can predict the humility of an unknown query document.

34. Student: Dillon Presto Major: Chemistry Mentor: David Boucher Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Brooke Van Horn Title: Progress Toward P3HT Block Copolymers from Modular “Click” Syntheses Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Organic photovoltaic materials show significant promise in creating more efficient solar cells. Unlike traditional silicon-based solar cells, organic-based materials are relatively lightweight, inexpensive, and their optical properties can be manipulated and optimized. Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is a benchmark polymer in organic photovoltaic devices. However, in many organic solvents P3HT, the electron donor, separates from the electron acceptor, such as quantum dots. Our research aims to solve this problem by adding small amounts of copolymers, which dramatically increase organic photovoltaic device performance, to P3HT blends. We seek to couple P3HT to polymers such as polystyrene that affinity for electron acceptors using a novel "click" chemistry methodology. This approach will give us greater control over the molecular architecture of the polymers. Once perfected, we will use this method to create a library of copolymers with varying chain lengths, which will serve as the basis for future research on polymer properties and device performance.

35. Student: Caitlin Purvis Major: Biology Mentor: Wendy Cory Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: The Photodegradation of Bupropion Conference: 2015 International Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy Pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medicines have been observed to have environmental effects due to human consumption and subsequent excretion of medications as well as the improper disposal of these products. Once introduced into an aquatic environment, drugs may further degrade into more toxic moieties which may harm humans and aquatic organisms. We investigated the effects of exposing solutions of bupropion (Wellbutrin®), an anti-depressant and smoking cessation aid, to simulated sunlight. Some solutions contained dissolved organic material, humic acid, which is naturally found in the aquatic environment. Samples were exposed to simulated sunlight for specific time periods so we could determine the concentration of bupropion after exposure. After photoexposure, bupropion in solution quickly degraded in less than a day, and the addition of humic acid aided in degradation. Future work will include identifying the photodegradation products and their toxicity using a chemical analysis technique called liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

36. Student: Carson Reed Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Richard Himes Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Synthesis and Evaluation of a Novel, Bis-indenyl “Batwing” Ligand Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Often, it is necessary for synthetic chemists to utilize chemical additives called catalysts to speed up the rate of reactions and to increase reaction efficiency. Efficiency is key in various chemical industries, such as in the pharmaceutical industries and materials development (e.g., polymers). The advent of efficient chemical reactions in the pharmaceutical industry not only lowers the economic cost of synthesizing new drugs, and it also can open up novel synthetic routes to new drugs or other necessary compounds. My research involves the design and synthesis of a specific catalyst that can achieve this efficiency in the synthesis of new compounds with practical applications. Currently, I have successfully synthesized my catalyst precursor and will be investigating how this compound can be used to speed up the rates of certain reactions.

37. Student: Luke Rein Major: Biology Mentor: Allison Welch Department: Biology Title: Toxicity of combinations of naproxen and its photodegradants Conference: Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology Annual Meeting Pharmaceutical compounds have been observed in natural waterways, due largely to their incomplete removal from wastewater. In the environment, ultraviolet radiation can degrade these pharmaceuticals into other biologically active compounds. However, continual input of common pharmaceuticals results in pseudo-persistence, whereby enough new material is added that levels remain elevated in spite of their breakdown. We investigated the effects of UV photodegradation and pseudo- persistence on the toxicity of naproxen, a common anti-inflammatory. Southern toad tadpoles were exposed to naproxen, its two degradants, and combinations of these three compounds in proportions that correspond to laboratory observations of naproxen photodegradation. Naproxen’s two degradants were significantly more toxic than naproxen itself, and combinations of naproxen and its photodegradants were particularly toxic. These data suggest that the ecological effects of pharmaceutical pollutants may be underestimated.

38. Student: Enis Sanchez Major: Chemistry Mentor: Marcello Forconi Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Using Bio-Based Materials to Synthesize a Novel Surfactant in the Production of Polyurethane Foams Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society The primary focus of this research is to improve foam formation in the production of polyurethane foams, using bio-based materials. Industrially, poly-ethylene glycol based surfactants are derived from petroleum oil. In contrast to these petroleum-based surfactants, our surfactants are based on renewable fatty acid sources, thus being more environmentally favored. Surfactants reduce the surface tension between isocyanates and poly•ether or poly-ester based polyols, which allows for more uniform mixing during polyurethane formation. We have started synthesizing polyurethane foams, comparing foams made with bio•based surfactants to foams made with traditional surfactants. Image analysis based on scanning electron microscopy will allow for comparisons of average foam cell size distributions between the polyurethane foam samples. Upon further interpretation of the results, we hope to conclude that polyurethane foams synthesized using bio-based surfactants are comparable to polyurethane foams manufactured using petroleum-based surfactants used in industry.

Student: Justin Skinner Major: Biology Mentor: Robert Podolsky Department: Biology Title: Sensory Neuron Plasticity During Claw Transformation in the Snapping Shrimp, Alpheus angulosus Conference: Society for Neuroscience 2013 Annual Conference Alpheus species’ claws are bilaterally asymmetrical: they possess a pincer and a snapper claw that differ both functionally and morphologically. Both claws play important roles in the behavioral interactions of the shrimp. When the snapper is removed, the pincer will morph over a period of four molts into a functioning snapper claw, which has the unique ability of producing a “snapping” sound when the shrimp rapidly closes the large claw. Transformation occurs through a step-like change in shape, nerve growth, and muscle tissue. Setae, hair-like structures on the claw, are the outward projections of sensory nerves; they provide a unique opportunity to use outward morphology as a window into the normally concealed nervous system. We will present our completed analysis of changes in setae patterns throughout claw transformations and what these changes may reflect in the nervous-system structures underneath the claws’ surfaces.

Student: Peter Spearman Major: Biology Mentor: Kathleen Beres Rogers Department: Biology Title: Acute and chronic effects of naproxen and its photodegradants on southern toad tadpoles Conference: Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology Annual Meeting Pharmaceutical pollution is an emerging environmental issue. Many pharmaceuticals pass through the body, are not completely removed during wastewater treatment, and are ultimately released into the environment. Naproxen, a widely used pain reliever, has been detected in natural waterways around the world. When exposed to sunlight, naproxen is converted into two related compounds, known as photodegradants, which are predicted to be more toxic than naproxen itself. We tested the toxicity of these three compounds to tadpoles of the southern toad during acute (96 hours) and chronic exposures (until metamorphosis). Acute toxicity of the first photodegradant was similar to that of naproxen, while the second photodegradant was over six times as toxic. During chronic exposures at lower concentrations, both photodegradants reduced tadpole survival and growth, while naproxen had no effect. These results suggest that the degradation of naproxen in the environment may increase risk to freshwater organisms.

41. Student: Nicholas G. Taylor Major: Physics Mentor: Jennifer L. Fox Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Nonlinear effects induced by stimuli on the phase resetting curve Conference: Society for Neuroscience 2013 Annual Conference Rhythmic patterns of neural activity are ubiquitous phenomena in animals. Central pattern generators are autonomous networks of neurons that control biological rhythms such as the circadian rhythm, heartbeats, etc. The neurons change their firing patters due to the inputs from other neurons. Inputs arrive to the neurons with different amplitudes, durations, and shapes. As a result, each input induces a different neural response. In these computational experiments, we mimicked injected electrical stimulus of different amplitude, duration, and shapes into a neuron model. We found that the relationship between the stimulus strength and the response of the neuron was linear. However, the duration of the stimulus induced a non-linear response. This suggests that the change in firing rate is not strictly proportional to the area under the curve of the stimulus, as previously thought, but is also sensitive to other parameters such as how fast the stimulus reaches its maximum value.

42. Student: Joshua Teves Major: Chemistry Mentor: Mike Larsen Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Synthesis of Stereospecific Bis-Indene Catalysts Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Everyone recognizes the vital role that medicine plays in our society today. However, not many people are aware of the difficulties that organic chemists face when making pharmaceutical drugs. It is often difficult to control certain aspects of a molecule’s structure, specifically its three-dimensional arrangement. This spatial arrangement of the drug’s structure determines how it will react with the body. For instance, the anti-inflammatory drug known as Aleve could instead act as a liver toxin if its three-dimensional shape is slightly different. Our goal is to fabricate a new molecule, also known as a catalyst, which will aid in making the correctly shaped drug structures. Our newly designed catalyst has been based off a previous molecule that proved successful. Once we have finished producing our catalyst, we hope to soon test its effectiveness in making pharmaceutical drugs that require a specific three-dimensional arrangement.

43. Student: Travis Varner Major: Psychology Mentor: Richard Himes Department: Psychology Title: Developmental Origins of the Moral Sense Conference: Cognitive Development Society How do children first learn about, and begin to explore, the moral domain? We hypothesized that pretend play serves as an important context for moral learning by providing opportunities for moral evaluation and for moral exploration, as children take on/explore “moral themes. We studied five children from 2.0 to 5.0-years-old. We coded separately for when they engaged in pretend play and when morally relevant parent/child dialogue occurred, mapping the extent to which these two overlapped. While there was a developmental decrease in the frequency of moral dialogue in general, there was no developmental change in the frequency of moral dialogue within the context of pretend play. Moral evaluation decreased and exploration increased over time. Children increasingly use pretend play as a medium through which to explore moral themes, doing so allows for an increased sensitivity to the feelings, dispositions, and behaviors of those (real/imaginary) with whom they interact.

Vulava Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Synthesis of a Novel Dual-Action Cytosporone E/Triazole Antibiotic Conference: Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society Antibiotic resistance is an issue that has recently taken precedence in the medical community and is rapidly becoming difficult to combat. As more antibiotics are introduced into our water supply, soil, and food, bacterial resistance to these antibiotics escalates, which reduces the effectiveness of current commercial antibiotics. The goal of this project is to create a series of new antibiotics, to which bacteria have not yet grown resistant. To do this we will be combining cytosporone E, a compound shown to have antibiotic properties, with key features of other antibiotic compounds. These new compounds will then be tested against different strains of bacteria to determine how effective they are compared to current antibiotics. The results from these tests will give us insight into how to change and design the next generation of antibiotic derivatives.

46. Student: Benjamin Wilson Major: Computer Science Mentor: Joe Carson Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Extrasolar Planets and Disk Imaging using the Hubble Space Telescope Conference: 225th American Astronomical Society Conference The Hubble DICE survey is an observational program approved by NASA. The team consists of nineteen multinational experts in the field of astrophysics. Led by Dr. Glenn Schneider (Univ Arizona), there is an ongoing effort to study eleven carefully chosen stars with known circumstellar disks. The disks surrounding these young stars are interesting because they are believed to be the birthplaces of planets. By discovering evidence of planet formation in these disks, either by imaging disk gaps caused by forming planets or by directly imaging the planets themselves, one can gain invaluable insights to guide planet formation theories and ultimately help better understand the origins of our own solar system. B. Wilson will be presenting his progress with Hubble DICE and the numerous contributions he has made in the last year. These contributions include revealing new disk substructures that have not previously been seen. Attending the conference will therefore be a unique opportunity to present unmatched progress, achieved at College of Charleston, for interpreting new results from NASA’s flagship space telescope.

1. Student: Joyce Biaco Major: Chemistry Mentor: Timothy Barker Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Minisci Reactions Many pharmaceutical drugs contain at least one nitrogen atom. If that nitrogen atom is part of a ring with carbon atoms it is called a heterocycle. The ability to easily modify a heterocycle is useful to medicinal chemists because they are then able to create many drug candidates with slightly different structures and physical properties. We are proposing a method to selectively modify heterocycles that would be useful for the synthesis of new drug candidates.

2. Student: Paige Bippus Major: Marine Biology Mentor: Erik Sotka Department: Biology Title: Use of herbivory resistance in different populations of the alga Gracilaria vermiculophylla to track its invasive history Species that are not native to the habitat they are living in are called ‘invasive species’. Both land and marine invasive species are changing the community structure (i.e. food webs and competition for space and nutrients) as well as the surrounding environment. One species of marine seaweed, Gracilaria vermiculophylla, has invaded virtually all the coasts of the Northern hemisphere. Although we know it can tolerate a variety of temperatures and salinities, it is believed that the seaweed has adapted genetically to its surrounding environments in order to thrive. Our object for the project is to determine whether or not there are genetic differences in the Gverm populations from different regions of the world that it has invaded. In order to determine genetic adaptation, we must test varying phenotypes (observable characteristics). The phenotype we will focus on is herbivory resistance. Many seaweeds, including Gverm, are often unpalatable for various reasons to herbivores that feed on it. In order to test whether or not populations from different regions have adapted to ward of herbivores, we will conduct three different feeding experiments in which we feed the Gverm to herbivores and see if they will eat it or prefer it to local seaweed. By doing this, we will ideally be able to track the invasive history of the seaweed and discover whether or not it evolved in characteristics that helped it be successful in many environments. We hope Gverm will serve as a model for analyzing genetic adaptations of future invasive species.

3. Student: Joseph Boscia Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Amy Rogers Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Growth and Purification of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthesis for Crystallographic Studies with Novel Pterins Bound It is not uncommon to hear about molecules that are harmful and should be avoided. But have you ever heard of a dangerous molecule that you actually need? Nitric oxide (NO), a toxic gas similar to carbon monoxide, is just that molecule. In fact, it was awarded Molecule of the Year in 1992 for its surprising role as a neurotransmitter, vasodilator, and anti-cancer agent. So how is this toxic molecule made in the body with such precision that it provides Dr. Jekyll’s effect and not evil Mr. Hyde’s? The enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) produces NO in vivo by converting the molecule L-Arginine into L- citrulline and NO but exactly how this is done is not well understood. There are several cofactors that are needed by NOS in order for the reaction to proceed; one of them is called tetrahdyrobiopterin (BH4). Without BH4, the reaction does not proceed and toxic products are formed. But the exact role of the BH4 is unknown. We believe that one key factor in understanding how NOS produces NO lies in understanding what BH4 is doing during catalysis. Our studies focus on probing the role of BH4 by spectroscopic and catalytic assays as well as X-ray crystallography. We believe this important cofactor provides not only reducing equivalents to the reaction center, but also a proton. Uncovering the role of BH4 could provide insights into how NOS produces a toxic gas in the perfect concentration to provide essential biological functions like neurotransmission or cardiac blood flow.

4. Student: F. James Claire, III Major: Chemistry Mentor: Kristin Krantzman Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Simulations to Study the Morphology of Fullerene-Graphene Nanocomposites Carbon nanomaterials, such as fullerene and graphene and their derivatives, have attracted considerable attention for their use in nanoelectronics because of their exciting structural, electronic and magnetic properties. The excellent electronic and mechanical properties of carbon nanomaterials enable their use in solar cells, advanced energy conversion and storage devices. Understanding and controlling the carbon nanocomposite interfacial properties and resulting morphology is a crucial factor in tailoring materials properties for use in a wide range of applications. The fullerene molecule, C60, is composed of 60 carbon atoms joined together by single and double bonds to form a hollow sphere. Graphene is a one-atom thick planar sheet of carbon atoms. It is proposed to use computer simulations to study the adsorption of fullerene molecules on a graphene solid substrate. The proposed research will provide a fundamental understanding of the role of physical and chemical properties of carbon nanomaterials constructed from fullerene and graphene. The results will significantly enhance the current understanding of the role of surface and component properties on morphology formation of carbon nanocomposite films and will have direct implications for interpreting experimental results and can be used as guidelines for design of future nanocomposites.

5. Student: Anna Collett Major: Biology Mentor: Jason Vance Department: Biology Title: Optomotor response to simulated rotations during tethered flight in honey bees Honey bees and other insects are capable of rapid maneuvers in response to turbulence and wind during flight. However, it is unclear how bees detect these perturbations. One possibility is that visual feedback can provide the sensory input necessary to modulate this rapid kinematic response. Honey bees' visual system has been well-studied in the context of flight navigation, which contributes to flight odometry, maintaining heading angle, and flight velocity. However, it is not known how vision is used over short timescales for reactive flight control. In the proposed research, we will investigate the reacting time (latency) and frequency response (bandwidth) of the compound eye and ocelli visual feedback. Bees will be tethered within a custom LED arena, and oscillating visual patterns will be presented to simulate rotations the yaw-axis. High-speed videography (6000 fps) will record wing and head movements to characterize the bees' kinematic response. By comparing the bees' kinematic response to the movement of the visual pattern, we can determine the reaction time and frequency range of visual feedback on motor control. This research will determine which visual pathways, compound eyes and/or ocelli, contribute to the initiation and modulation of the kinematic response to flight perturbations in bees. 6. Student: Patricia Cooney Major: Biology Mentor: Christopher Korey Department: Biology Title: Mechanisms of Autonomy During Claw Transformation in the Snapping Shrimp The snapping shrimp, Alpheus angulosus, exhibits a unique characteristic in its front claws. The snapper, used for defense and communication, and the pincer, used for feeding and habitat manipulation, differ radically in shape and size. When grabbed by the large snapper claw, the shrimp will generally drop it in the interest of survival — just as a lizard might drop its tail. Upon dropping its snapper, the shrimp can “switch hands” by regenerating a pincer from the previous snapper limb, and transforming the previous pincer into a functional snapper. While this transformation is standard among snapping shrimp, the specific claw dropping behavior seems to differ within the species. To evaluate these differences and understand the role of nervous system control in this process, we have divided a large group of shrimp into categories by sex, size (as a proxy for age) and molt stage. With these shrimp, we are using a systematic threat process to gauge how long each shrimp must be threatened before dropping its snapper. After this initial threat, each shrimp will be given its assigned number of molt stages to develop its new claw before being threatened and dropping its claw again. With these data, we will be able to further understand the evolutionary context of snapper dropping behavior, as well as the amount of neural control involved in this process, forming the groundwork to make this species a competitive model for regenerative neuroscience studies.

7. Student: Noah Denman Major: Biology Mentor: Marcello Forconi Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Quantifying the Sulfatase Activity of SdsA1 The enzyme SdsA1, found in the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has been proposed to be capable of degradation of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a component of soaps and detergents. Because SDS is a man-made chemical that is not easily biodegradable, SdsA1 might represent a possible target for the bioremediation of SDS contaminations. However, previous results from our lab showed that moderate quantities of SDS inhibit the reactions, suggesting that SDS might not be the real substrate for this enzyme. Here, we are going to study how different chemical compounds that share some similarities with SDS are degraded by SdsA1, in order to better understand the biological function of SdsA1.

8. Student: David Derouen Major: Geology Mentor: K. Adem Ali Department: Geology Title: Satellite Remote Sensing of water quality parameters in the coastal waters of the US Virgin Islands Coral reefs in US Virgin Islands (USVI) represent complex and dynamic ecosystems. These habitats provide primary framework for the development, growth and survival of thousands of species, and protect shorelines from wave erosion and storm surges. They are highly valuable as a natural resource, and for ecological services, but yet highly sensitive to changes in surrounding factors (temperature, water chemistry, and human disturbance). The scenic attributes have drawn more and more people to this region, and urbanization has increased as a result. This has caused coral reefs to receive an increased flux of storm water runoff, wastewater discharge, and other contaminants associated with urbanization. These changes are predicted to accelerate with climate change. Reef recovery rates are slow and could thus face severe devastation from continued anthropogenic stresses. A key index that can be used to assess stress on these ecosystems is the water quality. Current water quality assessment is largely based on in situ measurements with limited spatial and temporal resolution. This makes it difficult to understand the dynamics of water quality parameters (WQPs) such as phytoplankton, suspended materials, and dissolved organic matter. Satellite-based synoptic measurements using multispectral sensors provide better resolution, but require the development of algorithms that relate spectral reflectance to the WQPs. The goal of the proposed project is to develop robust regionally tiered model that can estimate concentrations of WQPs from satellite data in the coastal waters of USVI. These synoptic models can provide information critical to the understanding of biogeochemical processes in the ecosystem.

9. Student: Diana Devine Major: Psychology Mentor: Amy Kolak Department: Psychology Title: Emergent Self-Regulatory Skills Within the Family Context The primary aim of this research project is to better understand 2-year-old children’s ability to control their behavior with and without parents’ help. During a visit to our lab, each toddler was observed in two “don’t touch” tasks. In the first one, the experimenter asked the child not to touch toys until she returned and the parents, who were both in the room, were asked to reinforce the “don’t touch” rule. In the second, the child was again asked not to touch a wrapped gift until the experimenter returned. In this paradigm, the parents, however, were asked not to reinforce the “don’t touch” rule. For this project, we will apply a coding system to assess the attentional focusing strategies the children used during these “don’t touch tasks” and examine how these strategies were associated with whether or not they touched the toys or gift. First, we are interested in examining the difference between children’s behavior across these paradigms when parents reinforced the rule versus when they did not. Second, we are interested in examining mothers’ and fathers’ individual parenting and their joint parenting behavior as relates of children’s behavior in these “don’t touch” tasks. Third, we are interested in examining longitudinal links between children’s attentional focusing strategies at 2 years of age and their self-regulation at 5 years of age.

10. Student: Sarina Etheridge Major: Astrophysics Mentor: P. Chris Fragile Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Contrasting Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence with Alpha-Viscosity A black hole accretion disk is an accumulation of materials, such as gas and dust, which orbits a black hole. The goal of this project is to create two separate computer simulations of black hole accretion disks. The two computer simulations will use different methods of producing the turbulence that is required for accretion disks to operate. One of the simulations will use an artificial viscosity put in “by hand.” This implies that this method is not a representation of true viscosity, but merely acts like viscosity. No physical mechanism is truly represented. This is how accretion disks have been modeled for decades. The other simulation will incorporate the physical process now known to be responsible for accretion, called the magneto- rotational instability. The purpose of the project is to compare the two simulations to understand in what ways the real physical process differs from the artificial viscosity treatment. Ours will be the first such simulations done using general relativistic gravity, as is appropriate near a black hole.

11. Student: Lindsay Evans Majors: Psychology/Computer Science Mentor: Sorinel Oprisan Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Nonlinear effects in time perception modeled with a realistic cortico-striatal network Time is an essential dimension of the world around us, determining the decisions we make, the actions we choose to take, and the very precision of our slightest movements. Millisecond timing is important for speech recognition, auditory processing, playing music and dancing. Circadian timing (hours to days range) controls sleep and wakefulness, and is critical for metabolic and reproductive fitness. Interval timing, or timing in the seconds-to-minutes range, is crucial for rate estimation, decision-making and foraging. Interval timing has been demonstrated in many species, from invertebrates, to many vertebrates, such as fish and birds, and mammals such as rats and humans. In most of these species, the error of time estimation varies quasi-linearly with the estimated duration, a property called scalar property or scalar timing. Deficits in interval timing, including lack of scalar timing, have been reported in Parkinson’s Disease, Huntington’s Disease, Schizophrenia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Alzheimer’s disease. We will use a realistic computational model developed by Oprisan and Buhusi (2011) to investigate the effect of the number of neurons allocated to the interval timing task on the scalar property. The striatal beat frequency (SBF) model produces a Gaussian output with a sharp peak centered on the learned interval time, as seen in actual experiments, and, in addition, the output obeys scalar property. The objective of this project is to investigate the neural network parameters that contribute to nonlinear effects that lead to deviations from scalar property.

12. Student: Lucas Freeman Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Richard Himes Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Early Transition Metal Complexes for Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation The molecules of life are exquisitely complex, a fact which often demands that the chemicals used to influence biology – drugs, for example, with which we hope to prolong or improve life – have a very specific structure to give their intended effect. That effect can be finely sensitive to even miniscule changes in the molecule: switching a single atom’s arrangement can lead to an inactive or even hazardous drug, as was learned with thalidomide in the 50s. Synthesizing drugs and other useful organic molecules thus requires very specific control over the reactions in their synthesis. Yet, the simpler the process to make a drug, and the simpler and more readily available the starting materials, the more cheaply and more easily the drug may be made for the public. The synthetic chemist continually looks to more easily build complex molecules: using less energy, using less expensive materials and simpler methods. Building complex molecules from simple reactants requires control over how those reactants arrange their bonds and atoms when they combine. The use of a metal compound – called a catalyst – may provide that control. The goal of this proposed project is to develop the chemistry of inexpensive titanium (abundant, cheap, non-toxic) catalysts for using simple, readily available materials to synthesize molecules with control over their complexity. These specific molecular building blocks can then be further incorporated into desirable, biologically active molecules such as drugs.

13. Student: Laura Galloway Major: Biology Mentors: Agnes Ayme-Southgate Department: Biology Jason Vance Title: Differential gene expression in nurse to forager honeybee transition Within a honeybee hive, the tasks to be accomplished such as cleaning, feeding, defending and finding the food are divided between different workers. Most inside-the-hive jobs are accomplished by the nurses, which barely ever leave the hive and therefore are not active fliers. On the other hand, finding the food and bringing it back to the colony is the job of the foragers. These are the bees going back and forth between the hive and the flowers, and therefore, they are extremely good fliers. During a worker life cycle, the bee starts as a nurse, but at some point becomes a forager, usually based on the needs of the colony. This process is in a way similar to someone starting a fitness program. So how do you prepare for such a transition in life? Major changes occur to enable the worker bee to transition to this completely different job. Decrease in weight, increase in metabolic and immune activity, and depressed ovary activity are a few of the known reprogramming events. There is also some evidence for modifications of the muscle proteins to generate enhanced flight ability. Starting to understand this process at the molecular level is the goal of this proposal. We will use several molecular biology techniques to investigate the difference in muscle gene expression (usage) between nurses and foragers. Knowing which muscle proteins are either turned down or overproduced during the transition will provide a basis for a molecular dissection of this critical process in honeybee life process.

14. Student: Jasmin Graham Major: Biology Mentor: Gavin Naylor Department: Biology Title: Reconstructing the Evolution of Hammerhead Sharks Hammerhead sharks are unique among sharks in having a laterally expanded head. Currently, there are 8 different recognized species of hammerheads. The various species differ, among other things, in the degree of the lateral expansion seen in the head structure – termed the “cephalofoil”. Two conflicting hypotheses have been forwarded to account for the evolution of the structure. The first, based on an assessment of overall form, suggests that the head has become incrementally laterally expanded over the course of evolution, while the second, based on comparison of mitochondrial DNA sequence data, suggests that the early forms already had a highly laterally expanded head that became gradually reduced over time. These two hypotheses invoke opposing directions of natural selection. In the current study, we propose to obtain nuclear gene data using a cross species gene capture approach developed in Dr. Naylor’s lab at the College of Charleston that will allow us to address the question from a genomic perspective.

Student: Maja Grzejdziak Major: Public Health Mentors: Merissa Hart Ferrara Department: Communication Beth Sundstrom Title: e-HOPE: Increasing health care access among rural women in South Carolina Rural populations face unique barriers to health care often resulting in health disparities. Residents in rural communities are more likely to report poor health status and are less likely to be insured than their urban counterparts. In 2008, Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa pioneered the use of telemedicine by providing health services via sophisticated video and fiber equipment at remote clinics. Planned Parenthood Health Systems (PPHS) will initiate a telemedicine program (e-HOPE Plus) in South Carolina in Spring 2015 to address barriers to health care in rural areas, especially in women’s services. Existing research demonstrated high satisfaction levels among rural participants in a family health telemedicine project, noting that this method of care offers a promising opportunity in underserved rural areas. Over the course of our project, we will work collaboratively with PPHS to evaluate the effectiveness of the telemedicine program in SC rural communities by conducting a pre-/post-test survey design. We will seek to determine the impact of the program on patient contraceptive choice, follow-through, and compliance. This study will expand the limited research regarding the effects of telemedicine as a promising approach to increase health care access and address health disparities. This research will also inform the continued implementation of the e-HOPE PLUS project in South Carolina, as well as other telemedicine projects.

16. Student: Carly Harward Major: Dance Mentor: Gretchen McLaine Department: Dance Title: Letter to a Man De-constructed: Analyzing choreographic interpretations of mental illness Choreography is a collaborative art form that exhibits specific themes, ideas, and is often related to personal experiences of the choreographer. Throughout the planning process it is pertinent that the choreographer make strategic decisions that will allow the audience to perceive the work in the way intended. Once the work is complete and presented, the audience is given the freedom to interpret the piece in the way that they saw it. Because choreography is designed from personal experiences, the question arises of whether the choreographer can successfully transpose the feelings elicited by one with mental illness. “Letter to a Man Deconstructed: Analyzing choreographic interpretations of mental illness” allows for an intensive look into how mental illness affects creativity and how such illness is communicated through non-verbal expression. This research project will investigate how mental illness affects both the messenger and the message in choreographic work. An in-depth analysis of Nijinsky’s journals, on-going research on creativity and mental illness, and movement analysis via LMA will clarify how Nijinsky’s illness was perceived by Baryshnikov and expressed through the construction of this new work.

17. Student: Daniel Hickman Majors: Biology/Chemistry Mentor: Gamil A. Guirgis Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Conformational studies of compounds containing a six-membered ring system consisting of silicon and other atoms in the cyclic backbone The proposed project includes the synthesis of four six-membered ring compounds containing three carbon and three silicon atoms in an alternating fashion. These compounds are not well understood in the literature because of difficulties in synthesizing, handling, and studying them. These compounds are interesting and have several possible three-dimensional shapes in space. These compounds can be studied using different instruments at the College of Charleston and at other institutions. I do have long standing collaborations in place at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) and the University of Virginia (UVA). The comparison of the data to that of similar known compounds containing only carbon will reveal the nature of the bonding and structure of these compounds, which will be useful for potential applications of these species.

20. Student: Sarah Legendre Major: Classics Mentor: Allison Sterrett-Krause Department: Classics Title: But Is It a Bottle? Quantitative and Qualitative Study of Roman Glass Vessels Archaeologists analyze fragmentary pieces of antiquity, like broken glass, to answer questions about aspects of daily life. To do this, archaeologists study “diagnostic” pieces – recognizable parts of fragmentary glass vessels such as bases, rims, and handles. Such studies record formal characteristics (shape, size, color, and decoration) and functional categories of the pieces. They then compare the fragments to objects with similar forms and functions to contextualize individual objects. Problems arise when vessels are extremely fragmentary and are compounded when fragments share formal characteristics with many different types of vessels. This is a consistent problem for archaeologists studying Roman glass of the Imperial period (ca. 50 C.E.to 450 C.E.), because the Roman glass industry was international and industrial in scale. While formal features of a fragmentary vessel can reflect its functional category (drinking cup, bottle, plate, etc.), in many cases poor preservation prevents such precision. Our current research project will propose a statistical model for determining the functional category of glass vessel fragments which are not diagnostics. Using the techniques of statistics and probability, we will test our proposed model for viability on both fragmentary and complete vessels. Our project employs a contextual component as well: studying glass from ancient perspectives to understand Roman categories for vessels. Combining quantitative mathematical study with ancient literary and visual evidence offers a new avenue for archaeologists studying the creation and use of glass in antiquity. Such a model may provide new methods for archaeologists studying many different time periods and materials.

21. Student: Needhee Patel Majors: Biology/Psychology Mentors: Mike Ruscio Departments: Psychology Chris Korey Biology Title: Neurogenesis and Neural Development in Snapping Shrimp The ability of an adult nervous system to change in response to environmental changes, such as damage to the system, is unique and challenging when scientists are studying vertebrate systems. This is because to observe a response, permanent damage must often be done to the organism’s nervous system. Therefore, invertebrates that are known for their regenerative abilities are an ideal system to explore and study the changes an organism goes through to recover or adapt to its environmental needs. The snapping shrimp, or Alpheus angulosus, is a small crustacean with two claws, one big and the other small. If a shrimp loses its big claw, its primary defense, it transforms its small claw into a big claw while growing a new small claw. The claws have different purposes and thus different sensory neuron inputs and outputs. We study the neural changes involved in transformation by tracking and studying the sensory hairs’ (setae) distribution on the claws throughout the duration of this process. Past studies have revealed that setae change, both in composition and number, mostly on the cutting edge of the claw. This proposal focuses on the development of the sensory hairs, particularly how and where the sensory neurons in the sensory hairs are created and how they develop.

22. Student: Olivia Pearce Major: Chemistry Mentor: Katherine Mullaugh Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Voltammetric Determination of Silver Ions Using Chemically Modified Carbon Paste Electrodes Today over 1600 consumer products are available that contain nanomaterials with sizes less than 1/1000 the width of a human hair. As nanotechnology becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, the release of nanoparticles into the environment is inevitable. To anticipate the potential environmental effects of nanotechnology, controlled laboratory experiments are required to understand the conditions that control their behavior in the environment and any chemical changes they may undergo after release. Silver nanoparticles, currently one of the most widely used types of nanoparticles because of their antimicrobial properties, are found in products like socks, athletic clothing, and cleaning products. However, it is now well known that silver nanoparticles readily degrade and release silver ions, which are toxic to many aquatic organisms. To better anticipate the environmental impact of silver nanoparticles, more studies are needed to understand the conditions that favor or inhibit the silver nanoparticle degradation process. Two major limitations of existing studies are (1) that they generally require high concentrations because the currently available methods of silver ion detection are not sufficiently sensitive and (2) they require a pre-treatment step to separate silver nanoparticles from silver ions prior to analysis. The goal of this project is to develop an improved method that is sensitive enough to measure silver ions at low, environmentally relevant conditions and can measure silver ions without interference from silver nanoparticles such that no separation is necessary.

23. Student: Dillon Presto Major: Chemistry Mentor: David Boucher Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Synthesis and Characterization of Polymer/Graphene Nanocomposites Solid thin-films composed of mixtures of polymers and carbon-based structures, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, are promising materials for the next generation of solar cells and other renewable energy technologies. One of the main problems is getting the polymer and carbon structures to interact strongly with each other. Such weak interactions lower the fundamental electrical properties of these materials, as well as adversely impacting the properties, e.g., ruggedness and crystallinity, of the solid thin-films. In our lab, we are synthesizing polymer/graphene materials using an innovative technique, wherein we make the polymer in a solution that already contains the graphene. We have already shown that this “in situ” polymerization technique improves the characteristics of polymer/carbon nanotube materials; thus, it is highly likely that we will see same results with the polymer/graphene counterparts. In addition to making these materials, we are able to study the surfaces of the polymer/graphene thin-films using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The atomic force microscope allows us to observe the structure of our materials, e.g., how well they’re mixed together, on an atomic and molecular level.

24. Student: Ashley Rice Major: Physics Mentor: Ana Oprisan Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: Investigating Non-Equilibrium Fluctuations in the Presence of Magnetic Field Magnetic nanoparticles are used in many applications, from industry to cancer research. However, little is known about the mobility of magnetic nanoparticles when used for biomedical applications. The purpose of this project is to determine physical properties related to the dynamics of magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in water. We will experimentally investigate fluctuations produced at the interface between water and magnetic nanoparticles suspensions both in the absence and in the presence of magnetic field. The nanocolloid consists of tiny spherical particles of iron oxide with diameters in the range of 100 to 200 nanometers suspended in a water-soluble inert agent. In order to observe the interface between water and colloidal suspension, the magnetic nanocolloid must have a relatively high concentration of nanoparticles. Concentration inhomogeneities inside the fluid lead to local differences in fluid properties. As a result, the interface is not perfectly flat but has microscopic “bumps” (fluctuations) that can significantly change the speed of the diffusion process. Since, in addition to temperature and fluid properties, the fluctuations of the interface are strongly influenced by the concentration of nanoparticles in suspension such interface fluctuations are called concentration fluctuations. These fluctuations have been so far only investigated in the presence of the gravitational field. However, our plan is to perform two experiments for the same magnetic colloidal suspension in the presence and absence of magnetic field. We plan on recording images of a glass cell unit filled with magnetic nanocolloids that experiences concentration fluctuations and analyze the images offline. We will use image and data analysis methods such as Fourier transform, power spectrum, and curve fitting tools to estimate the correlation time of fluctuations and to determine the diffusion coefficients for both experiments.

25. Student: Amber Ruby Major: Biology Mentor: Allison Welch Department: Biology Title: Salinity effects on early life stages in squirrel treefrogs Salinity levels are increasing in some freshwater environments due to human activities including road salt runoff, land use changes from agriculture, and rising sea levels. Amphibians are particularly vulnerable to habitat salinization because they need freshwater to complete their life cycle. Increased salinity can harm amphibian larvae by decreasing survival, reducing growth, and increasing the time to reach metamorphosis. Salinization of breeding habitats may also affect other stages of the frog life cycle, including fertilization and embryo development. Exposure to salinity during fertilization could affect sperm function, decreasing the number of eggs fertilized. Increased salinity can also slow or halt embryonic development. Testing the salinity tolerance of each of these life stages will help us identify which life stages are most sensitive to habitat salinization. In addition, we will test how salinity exposure during fertilization and embryonic development affects tadpole success. One possibility is that early exposure will allow acclimation to salinity, increasing the ability of tadpoles to survive and thrive at elevated salinity. On the other hand, early salinity exposure could have a cumulative effect and decrease a tadpole’s ability to tolerate additional stress from salinity exposure, ultimately leading to poorer performance or even death. Studying how salinity exposure during early development affects the fitness of tadpoles will improve our understanding of the effects of habitat salinization during different life stages. Overall, our work will help conservation efforts address the impact of elevated salinity on the most susceptible amphibian life stages.

26. Student: Leslie Sawyer Major: Psychology Mentor: Chad Galuska Department: Psychology Title: Regulation of Rats’ Water Intake by Shifts in Food Reward Availability Research in our laboratory has shown that negative incentive shifts involve transitions from favorable-to-unfavorable situations can disrupt behavior profoundly; these sorts of transitions may have relevance to the environmental stressors that trigger alcohol seeking in humans. An existing animal model of negative incentive shifts involves arranging schedules of positive reinforcement differing in the signaled amount of food pellets delivered contingent upon completing a lever-press response requirement. The transition from a just-received large food reinforcer to an upcoming signaled small food reinforcer has been shown to produce profound disruptions in ongoing responding. In the proposed research, we will use this model to determine if these negative incentive shifts trigger excessive water consumption (polydipsia) in non-thirsty rats. The resulting data will inform us as to the feasibility of using this behavioral baseline to induce excessive alcohol consumption in our future research.

27. Student: Sarah Shainker Major: Marine Biology Mentor: Erik Sotka Department: Biology Title: Heat shock, cold shock, and light tolerance of Gracilaria vermiculophylla

Gracilaria vermiculophylla is a red seaweed native to the Sea of Japan and Japan’s northeast Pacific coast. It has invaded the coasts of North America and Europe. G. vermiculophylla’s successful adaptation to a wide variety of diverse non-native environments facilitated its successful invasions all over the Northern Hemisphere. Two adapted traits that have aided G. vermiculophylla’s invasive success are its ability to tolerate a wide range of temperatures and varying amounts of light exposure. It is unclear where and when these adaptations occurred. In a pre-adaptation scenario, a subset of the species within the native range may have evolved to acquire advantageous traits which facilitated biological success once spread to non-native regions. In a post-adaption scenario, a subset of the native population may have spread to a non- native area before evolving to acquire advantageous traits after introduction. In a bridgehead scenario, a subset of the native population would have spread to a non-native bridgehead location where it evolved to have advantageous traits before further spreading to additional non-native regions. In order to investigate which scenario or combination of scenarios occurred for G. vermiculophylla, samples will be collected from native and non-native regions in Japan, North America, and Europe. The samples will be exposed to different light and temperature ranges and grown in the lab in order to determine the light and temperature tolerance of samples from various areas. Comparing these traits in native and non-native individuals could provide helpful information regarding the evolutionary pathway facilitating G. vermiculophylla’s invasive success.

28. Student: Sierra Raven Small Major: Public Health Mentor: Michael Hemphill Department: Health and Human Performance Title: Impact of Imbalanced Community Sex Ratio on Acquisition of HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases among African-Americans In 2008, the rate of new HIV diagnoses among adults and adolescents in the United States (US) was nine times greater among blacks (73.7 diagnoses per 100,000) than among whites (8.2 per 100,000) (1). This black-white disparity is particularly stark among women. Despite accounting for less than 14.0% of the US female population in 2008 (3), blacks accounted for 66.7% of new HIV diagnoses among women in 2008 (1). Of women who contracted HIV through heterosexual contact living in 2007, 63.5% were black and 18.6% white, a prevalence ratio of 3.4 (1). Several studies have hypothesized a link between certain community level factors and the occurrence of HIV among black women (4, 5-22). One such community level factor is the community sex ratio, which is defined as the ratio of men to women in a given geographic area (12). Prior research has shown that sex ratios in predominantly black areas are substantially more imbalanced (i.e., fewer men than women) than sex ratios in predominantly white areas (12). The purpose of this project is to assess the impact of the community sex ratio as well as other demographic variables, including income, education, and racial distribution, on the acquisition of HIV and other STDs in South Carolina counties. This research will provide greater insight into the factors that contribute to HIV and STD incidences, and possibly lead to the development of more effective preventive interventions.

29. Student: Ellie Smith Major: Public Health Mentors: Beth Sundstrom Departments: Communication Andrea DeMaria Health and Human Performance Title: e-HOPE: Increasing health care access among rural women in South Carolina Rural populations face barriers to health care resulting in critical health disparities and risks. Residents in rural communities are more likely to report poor health status and are less likely to be insured compared to urbanized areas. In 2008, Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa pioneered the use of telemedicine by providing health services via sophisticated video and fiber equipment at remote clinics. In South Carolina during Spring 2015, Planned Parenthood Health Systems (PPHS) will launch a telemedicine program (e-HOPE Plus) to address barriers to health care in rural areas, focusing on women’s services. Current research shows very high satisfaction levels among rural participants in family health telemedicine. This method of care presents a promising opportunity in underserved rural areas. Throughout the duration of our project, we will work collaboratively with PPHS to evaluate the efficacy of their telemedicine program in South Carolina’s rural communities by conducting a pre-/post test survey design. As a team, we will investigate how the program influences patient contraceptive choice, follow-through, and compliance. This study will contribute to the limited research regarding the effects of telemedicine in order to increase health care access, while addressing health disparities. This research will also ensure the successful implementation of the e-HOPE PLUS project in South Carolina, as well as telemedicine projects pertinent to communities nationally and globally.

30. Student: Heather Thornton Major: Studio Art Mentor: Sara Frankel Department: Studio Art Title: Contemporary Apotheosis: A Vision Explored in Painting The dynamic theme of humankind’s quest for spiritual meaning is found not only in art history but in the history of humanity. Today there are newfound methods of searching for personal spiritual significance outside of conventional religions relating to science and the perspective of humanity as an integral component of the universe. Translated through a body of five large-scale oil paintings, Heather Thornton will explore this theme employing a contemporary approach and the guidance of her faculty mentor Professor Frankel. Heather’s visual conception, in which figures commingle with heavenly objects and otherworldly spaces is inspired by both fantasy and cosmic imagery. With an emphasis on glowing light emanating from their hearts, hands and minds, each figure in the paintings will resonate a universal energy and awareness. Utilizing a professional painting process and practice with the academic critique of Professor Frankel, the artwork will achieve a level of fantastic realism and will be suitable for display in professional gallery settings.

31. Student: Travis Varner Major: Biochemistry Mentor: Richard Himes Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Synthetic and Theoretical Studies of a Novel Bis-Indenyl Ligand: The “Batwing” Everyone is familiar with different everyday polymers, such as Styrofoam and spandex. In the production of some polymers, a molecule called a catalyst is often needed to start the reaction to produce a specific polymer. Designing these catalytic systems has received much attention over the years, in hopes that they can be used to also control other vital aspects of the desired polymer. One of these certain features of interest is the three-dimensional arrangement of a polymer’s structure. This simple spatial arrangement can completely change the properties of a product polymer molecule. Therefore, it is vital for a chemist to be able to control this aspect when designing and synthesizing new materials. Certain catalysts have been seen to possess this unique feature of regulation—nonetheless, there is still the need for more exploration of this topic. Using current known catalysts as models, a new “batwing” catalyst has been designed and synthesized. We are seeking funding to support research that involves the synthesis and computer modeling of this original metal catalyst.

32. Student: William Vesely Major: Environmental Geology Mentors: Timothy Callahan Department: Geology Vijay Vulava Title: Organic carbon concentrations and dynamics in estuaries and associated watersheds Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a classification for carbon dissolved in aqueous environments. DOC is increasing in estuaries, which are bodies of water where freshwater combines with tidal waters from the ocean resulting in conditions that can support a wide variety of habitats, such as certain species of fish (red drum) and shellfish (oyster, crab). The most common source of DOC in the estuaries is phytoplankton. The non-estuarine sources of DOC are terrestrial plant debris and freshwater plankton arriving from river flow. An intriguing non- estuarine source, and what will be a focus for this project, is the submarine flow of groundwater. This research will produce a survey of DOC concentrations in surface waters and shallow groundwater in coastal South Carolina. Water samples will be taken from locations in the Ashepoo, Combahee, and Edisto (ACE) Basin and Charleston harbor. Samples will also be taken in regions located further inland to see DOC content in a forested area. The data will be used look at the DOC differences between a forested areas and urbanized areas. The main goal of this project is to better understand the amount of DOC in the ACE Basin and Charleston regions. As land use is changed for housing development, less groundwater may be cycling through these systems and thus a source of carbon to the estuaries, relied upon by the aquatic food web, may be impacted.

33. Student: Alexis Violette Major: Chemistry Mentor: Neal Tonks, Jr. Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Drug Delivery Polyurethane Materials Using Bio-Based Polyols Polyurethanes are widely used polymer materials that have applications from paint coatings to soft/rigid foams. More recently, polyurethanes are being developed for drug delivery purposes. By incorporating a drug-delivery pre-polymer into the polyurethane matrix, we can produce a material that will slowly release a drug under physiological conditions. There are two significant unique aspects this project. Firstly, only biologically compatible materials will be used. Almost all current polymeric polyurethane materials are made using chemicals derived from petrochemicals. The major material in the final product by mass consists of a polyalcohol derived from a soy-based edible oil. Secondly, new drugs that have never been used for drug delivery purposes before using polymer delivery systems are being investigated. For this study, a series of successful drug delivery materials were made from the anti-inflammatory drug Ibuprofen, nalidixic acid, a simple antibiotic compound as well as two potent chemotherapeutic agents. Upon exposing these drug delivery materials to physiological media, significant drug release was observed in as little as 20 hours. A library of synthetic methodologies for the prodrugs was developed by Nathan Adamson over the last year and a half. The project will continue this summer, specifically by exploring new synthetic approaches to these polymeric materials to yield products with varying applications including type of drugs being released, rate of drug release, and overall composition of the material. In addition, long-term degradation studies of these materials will be performed to confirm their safety in biological environments, and the results will be monitored by LC-MS.

34. Student: Hannah Wilson Major: Biology Mentor: Joe Carson Department: Physics and Astronomy Title: An Innovative System for 3D Clinical Photography We recently developed a low-cost, user-friendly technique to take a single snapshot image using the commercially available Lytro camera and convert this image into a full 3D rendering that can be effective for the diagnostic monitoring of cancer lesions, such as AIDS- induced Kaposi’s sarcoma – the leading cancer among men in Mozambique. By utilizing a relatively low cost (~$200) consumer camera as the technology backbone, the technique translates to an estimated cost of around 75 cents per diagnosis. This is an extreme benefit for areas of the world that cannot afford most 3D imaging technology that is available today. In contrast, for example, the commonly used Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has a typical cost of >$2,000 per diagnosis, as well as requiring expert personnel to operate it and substantial infrastructure to support it. Our technology provides a way for minimally trained personnel to operate it, and the complicated data processing work can take place at a location away from the resource limited setting, allowing relevant results to be succinctly summarized and restored to clinicians in the field. To prove the effectiveness of the technique, we and collaborators successfully carried out a pilot program at Maputo Central Hospital, the largest public hospital in Mozambique, and showed that effective, single-snapshot, 3D images of Kaposi’s sarcoma lesions could be obtained bedside by minimally trained personnel. The results are published in the Journal of Translational Medicine (Baghdadchi et al. 2014). APPENDIX F

27th Annual Poster Session ‐ Thursday, April 16th 2015

The first fourteen posters are featured as part of the UNESCO International Year of Light. Each has a light‐based connection.

1. Video Analysis of Reef Fishes and Live Bottom Seafloor Cover in the South Atlantic Bight

Luke Rein1, Gorka Sancho1, Rachel Bassett1, Tracey Smart2 and Dawn Glasgow2

1 Department of Biology, College of Charleston, 2 South Carolina Department of Natural Resources

South Carolina Department of Natural Resources’ Marine Resource Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction Program (MARMAP) collects and analyzes data concerning the South Atlantic Bight’s commercially important snapper‐grouper fishery to determine catch limits and conserve the region’s fishery. In addition to conventional trap capture‐based data, MARMAP increasingly employs video recordings to determine key metrics about the fish communities in this region. This study uses video analysis to compare the presence of live bottom seafloor cover to the abundance and diversity of four common species of the snapper‐grouper complex (C. striata, P. pagrus, R. aurorubens, and B. capriscus). This analysis shows that live bottom seafloor cover may have a variable effect on the presence of fishes.

2. Correlating solubility parameters and Kamlet‐Taft solvatochromic parameters with the self‐ assembly of poly(3‐hexylthiophene) in mixtures of organic solvents

Madeline P. Gordon and David S. Boucher, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

Recent experimental endeavors have shown that well‐ordered P3HT assemblies formed in solution can improve the crystallinity and morphological uniformity of thin films and composites, thereby providing a promising new route to more efficient polymeric optoelectronic materials. We have studied the assembly and crystallinity of poly(3‐ hexylthiophene) (P3HT) in >100 binary solvent mixtures using UV‐Vis absorption spectroscopy, APPENDIX F

and it is clear that the identity of the poor solvent used to drive aggregation has a significant impact on the structural order and crystallinity of the P3HT aggregates in solution. Here we report our findings using Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs), specifically the solubility distance vector, Ra, and the Kamlet‐Taft solvatochromic parameters of the solvent mixtures to better understand the dominant solvent forces driving the self assembly of P3HT.

3. Direct imaging of concentration‐induced fluctuations in nanocolloids

Lincoln Fraley, Department of Physics and Astronomy

Nanocolloids are ideal systems for investigating both spatial and temporal processes using optical methods since they have particle sizes larger than the characteristic size of atomic or molecular systems. We performed direct imaging experiments in order to investigate the concentration‐driven non‐equilibrium fluctuations. Our direct imaging experimental setup involved a glass cell filled with colloidal suspension and water with the concentration gradient oriented against the gravitational field and a superluminescent diode (SLD) as the light source. Nonequilibrium concentration‐driven fluctuations in silver nanocolloidal suspensions with a range of particle sizes and at different concentrations were recorded using direct imaging technique. We used a dynamic structure factor algorithm for image processing in order to compute the structure factor and to find the power law exponents and the correlation time of these fluctuations. The investigation of time evolution of concentration induced fluctuations allowed us to evaluate the dynamics of critical wave number.

4. Palagonite Alteration of the Blue Dragon Flow, Craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho

Garth Groshans Jr. and Robert Nusbaum, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

The purpose of this research was to study surficial weathering and alteration products of the Blue Dragon lava flow located in Craters of the Moon National Park, Idaho. Of particular interest is the alteration of basaltic glass to palagonite in a terrestrial setting. Palagonitization of Blue Dragon Lava is observed as dark brown alteration product surrounding plagioclase and olivine phenocrysts within the basaltic glass. Lava samples were analyzed using polarized light microscopy and a Tescan MIRA‐3 SBU scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with a backscattered electron detector and an energy‐dispersive x‐ray spectrometer (EDS). Backscatter SEM images suggest the palagonite is compositionally zoned distal from the phenocryst boundary. While glass values for elemental oxides are relatively constant, the same oxides may vary by a factor of five in adjacent palagonite. With the exception of MgO, the results are consistent with initial development of amorphous “gel” palagonite described in the literature.

5. Toxicity of combinations of Naproxen and its Photodegradants APPENDIX F

Luke Rein1, Allison Welch1 and Wendy Cory2

1 Department of Biology 2 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

Pharmaceutical compounds have been observed in natural waterways, due largely to their incomplete removal from wastewater. In the environment, ultraviolet radiation can degrade these pharmaceuticals into other biologically active compounds. However, continual input of common pharmaceuticals results in pseudopersistence, whereby enough new material is added that levels remain elevated in spite of their breakdown. We investigated the effects of UV photodegradation and pseudopersistence on the toxicity of naproxen, a common anti‐ inflammatory. Southern toad tadpoles were exposed to naproxen, its two UV degradants, and combinations of these three compounds in proportions that correspond to laboratory observations of naproxen photodegradation. Naproxen’s two degradants were significantly more toxic than naproxen itself, and combinations of naproxen and its photodegradants were particularly toxic. These data suggest that the ecological effects of pharmaceutical pollutants may be underestimated.

6. An Innovate System for 3D Clinical Photography

Hannah Wilson and Joseph Carson, Department of Physics and Astronomy

We and collaborators have developed a novel imaging technique that enables 3D imaging from a single digital snapshot, for the purposes of low‐cost clinical photography in resource limited settings, such as rural regions in southeast Africa. The technique takes advantage of the emerging technology of light‐field photography, which captures the information of multiple focus depths in a single digital snapshot. Our novel software approach reconstructs 3D shapes by evaluating how different parts of the image sharpen or blur at different focal depths. We combined our computational approach with a commercially available light‐field camera, Lytro, and a medical hardware adaptor custom‐developed by collaborators to ensure controlled and repeatable measurements. We have recently been working to expand our capabilities to enable endoscopic imaging with a miniaturized camera version as well as to improve the overall accuracy of our 3D rendering technique.

7. Pericyte Distribution in the Cerebral Cortex Revealed by High‐Resolution Imaging of Transgenic Mice

Ian Grant, David Hartmann, Robert Underly, Ashley Watson, Volkhard Lindner, and Andy Shih, Department of Biology and Program in Neuroscience, College of Charleston, Department of Neurosciences, Medical University of South Carolina, and Center for Molecular Medicine, Maine Medical Center Research Institute

Pericytes are essential for normal brain function and play diverse roles in the brain, including maintenance of blood‐brain barrier integrity, angiogenesis, and regulation of cerebral blood APPENDIX F

flow. Defects in pericyte function facilitate tissue injury in stroke and neurodegeneration by impairing cerebral microcirculation and vascular stability. Here, we utilized a transgenic mouse line that expresses Cre constitutively under the PDGRFβ promoter, providing highly specific and near complete labeling of pericytes along the entire cerebrovasculature. Optically cleared brain tissue from these animals allowed for collection of high‐resolution image stacks over the entire depth of cortex using two‐photon microscopy. Analysis of pericyte distribution in cleared tissue was assessed between layer I and layer II/III of the cortex, which revealed marked differences. Further characterization of pericyte density in other in vivo‐accessible brain regions will provide insight to overarching pericyte distribution, and may lead to discoveries that implicate varying pericyte distribution in certain disease pathologies.

8. Relationship between Population Growth and Land‐cover Change in the Charleston Area: A Landsat Remote Sensing Study from 1984‐2014

Zak Bartholomew, Shelby Bowden, Eric Brown, Carolina Cardoso, David Derouen, Sam Fink, TJ Gladden, Elliot Harrington, Kristin Hughes, Robert Jones, Kori Ktona, Will Lorentzen, Savannah Norvell, Griffin Scott, Elizabeth Watkins, Hannah Yates, and John Chadwick, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

The Charleston area is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the eastern U.S., with Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester Counties increasing their total populations by 54.4% between 1980‐2010. The relationship between population growth and changes in land cover (i.e. loss of natural vegetation and gain of human‐modified cover like concrete and asphalt) can be monitored in the region using satellite remote sensing. Five student teams analyzed a total of 20 multispectral Landsat Thematic Mapper images collected between 1984 and 2014 using ENVI image processing software to quantify land cover changes. Image pixels were classified as vegetation, marsh, or urban development (other minor cover types were unclassified), based on their unique spectral reflectance properties. The results show that urban land cover increased by 117.5 km2 (16.8%), vegetation decreased by 108 km2 (8.7%), and marsh increased by 11.4 km2 (5.1 %) over the 30‐year time span.

9. Searching for Extrasolar Planets with the Subaru SEEDS Survey

Kellen Lawson, Nathan Gunzenhauser, Laura Stevens, Joe Carson, Department of Physics and Astronomy, and the multi‐national SEEDS Science Team

We present a status report on the SEEDS subprogram to search for extrasolar planets (exoplanets) around high‐mass stars. SEEDS, the Strategic Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks with Subaru, is a multi‐year, direct‐imaging survey to explore the link between planets and disks, and the evolution of protoplanetary systems and debris disks. It is an international project approved by National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) and led by PI M. Tamura. With first observations carried out in 2009, the high‐mass star subprogram uses the Subaru 8‐meter Telescope, an adaptive optics system (AO188), the HiCIAO near‐infrared imaging science camera, and the angular differential imaging (ADI) technique, to search for heat APPENDIX F

signatures from young exoplanets. The survey is currently in its concluding stages. We describe the selection of our 42 targets, observing and data processing procedures, and recent progress and results.

10. Quantifying Coastal Changes of Cape Romain, SC using Google Earth from 1989 to 2014

Kristin Hughes, Kori Ktona and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Sciences

Cape Romain is a prominent cuspate foreland on the South Carolina coast, located approximately 35 miles north of Charleston. A thorough study using Google Earth imagery was completed in order to determine the geomorphologic changes of the shoreline from 1989 to 2014. Major factors that have affected the shape of Cape Romain include storm surges and hurricanes. Qualitative data were analyzed from historical imagery, and quantitative analyses of shoreline changes were made using Google Earth measurement tools. This study is crucial for use in managing the National Wildlife Refuge located on Cape Romain, and for understanding the effects of the cuspate foreland's changing morphology on the nearby barrier islands.

11. Engineering a Photodegradation Protective Coating for Firefighter Turnout Gear

Isaac Gould, Yeon Kim, Shonali Nazare and Rick Daivs, National Institute of Standards and Technology

In a study done in 2011 it was found that firefighter suits, comprised of melamine polymer blend, are particular susceptible to mechanical degradation from to UV radiation. This degradation severely limits the suits potential lifetime use. To increase the suits lifetime a thin photoprotective film of TiO2 nanoparticles was applied to the melamine fabric and then tested for its effectiveness in improving the fabrics mechanical performance after advanced UV exposure.

12. Exploring 3D data acquisition, modeling, and printing for geoscience applications

Kyle W. Bostick and Norman S. Levine, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Geoscience 3D visualization and modeling has become relevant with the advent of laser‐ scanning, drone and 3D printing technologies. This project explores several methods for 3D data acquisition: laser‐scanning and "photo‐stitching" (sample modeling) and eBee drone and LiDAR data (landscapes). Real‐life objects (e.g., fossils, specimens) and terrains were imaged and converted into polygonal mesh composed of vertices, edges, and faces. These geometric data collectively define the shape of a polyhedral object; when coupled with 3D management software such as MeshMixer we can modify shape, size, fill, and textures. Using our "MakerBot 5.0" 3D‐printer, we have produced several scale‐models of geologic terrains as well as completed paleontological models including an ocular orbit for Xenorophid whale skull on display at the Mace Brown Museum of Natural History. There are numerous applications of APPENDIX F

these 3D imaging technologies which include the curations of specimens, illustrating data for visually impaired students, and the manufacture educational flood‐models.

13. Art Installation Visualizing Rogue Wave Modeling

Victoria Shuler and Annalisa Calini, Department of Mathematics

Rogue waves are waves of extreme height that can appear out of nowhere, at times in a calm ocean, and have been known to cause many a shipwreck. Only recently, systematic measurements from oil platforms and from satellites have shown that rogue waves are far more common than expected. This artwork is a representative visitation for several concepts concerning a mathematical model of rogue wave formation in deep water. The model is based on the Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation, that admits rogue wave‐like solutions, and that give rise to chaotic dynamics when physically realistic corrections are added. The underlying mathematical theory that this artwork denotes shows that a chaotic sea state enhances rogue wave generations, providing a possible explanation of why rogue waves are not such rare events.

14. The Design and Testing of a Raindrop Velocimeter

Derek R. Tuck and Michael L. Larsen, Department of Physics an Astronomy

Using affordable laser diodes and photodetecting transducers, a simple instrument was constructed. This instrument is designed to be capable of measuring raindrop arrival times at two locations with known vertical offset. Acquired data includes the fall speeds of large raindrops with the ultimate goal of identifying and analyzing drops falling slower than their terminal velocities. Here we present results from the early calibration and testing phases of the instrument prototyping process.

15. Bathymetric and Geomorphologic Characterization of the Mouth of Shannon, Ireland

Victoria Houston and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

The Shannon Estuary is located on the west coast of Ireland where Ireland’s longest river, the River Shannon enters the Atlantic Ocean. In July 2011, the Marine Institute of Ireland surveyed the 15 km wide estuary mouth between Loop Head and Kerry Head. Data were collected aboard the Institute’s R/V Celtic Voyager using a Kongsberg EM3002 multibeam echo sounder and were processed using CARIS HIPS & SIPS 8.1 to map the basin’s geomorphology. Marine development opportunities and sheltered deep‐water add ecological and economical value to the Shannon Estuary. This study characterizes the seafloor of the southern portion of the estuary mouth, using bathymetric data and revealed a significantly large area potentially consisting of bedrock buried under soft mud extending to both edges of the mouth at approximately 20 meters. Creating a slope map, reveals steep edges, inferred as rocky outcrops. APPENDIX F

17. Phase resetting of neural oscillators subject to multiple inputs

Kelsey Vollmer and Sorinel Oprisan, Department of Physics and Astronomy

External stimuli, such as presynaptic inputs, reset the phase of neural oscillators. The phase resetting curve (PRC) determines the advance or delay of an action potential based on the strength and timing of the presynaptic stimulus. Since neural oscillators are nonlinear systems, the neural response to a set of external stimuli is not the sum of responses to an individual stimulus. We developed a systematic and consistent mathematical approach to predicting the phase resetting induced by multiple stimuli that arrive during the same activity cycle of a neural oscillator. Our approach is independent of oscillator’s biophysical details and generalizes the single‐stimulus PRC.

18. Effect of burning regimes on ants in a longleaf pine forest

Olivia LaRussa and Brian Scholtens, Department of Biology

In Francis Marion National Forest, fire regimes combat the invasion of loblolly pine and preserve the longleaf pine ecosystem. However, this treatment affects other organisms in the forest. Ants range in their ability to withstand hot, xeric conditions; therefore, forest fire management may influence which species can survive. Samples were taken at four different soil types in corresponding maintained and unmaintained plots of the forest. The arthropods collected were sorted to morphospecies and the ants identified to genus or species. The predominant species in both treatments was Nylanderia parvula. ANOVAs comparing the number of ants sampled or diversity indices between treatments showed no significant differences. However, collections were made using Winkler funnels for extraction and recent research has indicated that pitfall traps may be a more appropriate sampling technique in temperate areas. Further experimentation using this method may illustrate how fire adapted genera like Solenopsis are affected by fire maintenance.

19. Computational Studies of Hemodynamic Flows in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Danielle Massé and Jason Howell, Department of Mathematics

Biomedical research has recently indicated that some specific dynamic characteristics, such as the blood wall shear stress and oscillatory shear index, of the blood flow inside arteries with APPENDIX F

aneurysms are risk factors for both the enlargement and rupture of the associated aneurysm. The primary objective of the project is to determine the influence that the geometry of an abdominal aortic aneurysm has on these specific characteristics.

20. Protein Disulfide Isomerase as a Novel Drug Target in ER+ Breast Cancer

Chelsea Snipes and Danyelle Townsend, College of Charleston Department of Biology and Medical University of South Carolina Department of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a chaperone protein in the endoplasmic reticulum that facilitates folding and disulfide bond formation in its protein substrate. Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), a steroid hormone receptor and transcription factor, directly interacts with PDI. The posttranslational modification, S‐gluthathionlylation, prompted by oxidative stress, inhibits PDI‐ ERα interaction suggesting that redox regulation of PDI mediates ERα stability. Using Kaplan‐ Meier Plotter, this introductory study examined the overall survival probability in silico of breast cancer patients expressing high and low levels of protein disulfide isomerase A1 (PDIA1) between disease subtypes and treatments. High levels of PDIA1 are shown to be a poor prognostic factor in estrogen receptor positive breast cancers and therefore a novel drug target with the potential to dually target estrogenic signaling and protein homeostasis.

21. Behavioral Evidence for Enhanced Intracellular Calcium Signaling in Cocaine Sensitization

Carrie Bailes, Bethany Pavlinchak, Arthur Riegel and William Buchta, College of Charleston Department of Biology and Program in Neuroscience and the Medical University of South Carolina Department of Neuroscience

Chronic cocaine use causes cellular adaptations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) that contribute to addiction and relapse. A better understanding of these cellular adaptations will promote the development of effective relapse pharmacotherapies. Chronic cocaine disrupts multiple intracellular signaling cascades in the PFC, including calcium release from intracellular stores. However, the behavioral role for intracellular calcium signaling in addictive behaviors is unclear. Therefore, using cocaine sensitization to model aspects of addiction, we designed experiments to test the hypothesis that an elevated release of calcium from PFC stores contributes to cocaine sensitization. To establish behavioral sensitization, we administered daily cocaine (15mg/kg IP) to rats and assessed their locomotor responses. In sensitized animals, pharmacological manipulation of calcium release from intracellular stores augmented locomotor activity in sensitized animals but had no effect in non‐sensitized animals. These findings demonstrate that adaptations in intracellular calcium signaling within the PFC contribute to the expression of cocaine sensitization.

24. Erroneous Drop Sizing by Impact Disdrometers: Possible Effects on Z‐R Relationships

Kate O'Dell and Michael L. Larsen, Department of Physics and Astronomy

Erroneous drop sizing by impact disdrometers and its effect on the relationship between rain rate (R) and reflectivity factor of RADAR (Z) was investigated using data inferred from a two‐ dimensional video disdrometer. Six events were studied in detail. Comparison of drop size distributions for the inferred impact disdrometer data and the two dimensional video disdrometer data revealed substantial differences in drop sizing. However Z‐R relationships produced using each set of data showed minimal effects of erroneous drop sizing.

25. General Relativistic Radiation Hydrodynamic and Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Low‐ Angular Momentum, Super‐Eddington Accretion onto Black Holes

Ally Olejar, Department of Physics and Astronomy

We use the state‐of‐the‐art, astrophysics numerical code Cosmos++ to gain insight into black holes and black hole accretion disks. For this project, we investigated the black hole accretion disk systems which exceeded the Eddington Limit, the maximum luminosity an astronomical object can have while maintaining hydrostatic equilibrium. Astronomers have observed objects (particularly black hole systems) which exceed this luminosity, which suggests that the APPENDIX F

proposed Eddington Limit may not restrict nature at all. In order to accurately treat the radiation physics of these systems, we have included Compton cooling into Cosmos++ and have performed several tests to ensure the high performance of the code.

This study aims to provide contemporary data for the age and length structures of tomtate (Haemulon aurolineatum). A total of 1,251 fish were sampled from May 2000 to September 2014 by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) near deep‐water reefs in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along the coasts of North and South Carolina. Total (TL), standard (SL), and fork lengths (FL) were recorded for 1,249 fish to the nearest millimeter, and total fish weight (W) was recorded to the nearest gram. Ages were recorded for 737 of 1,251 samples. Samples were sexed using macroscopic observation in the lab on the research vessel. Growth curves, meristic conversions between lengths and weights, and age composition are essential data inputs to stock assessment models used most commonly in the southeastern United States, and those from this specific study can potentially be used in a new management plan for the Tomtate fishery.

27. A Comparative Dietary Analysis of Haemulon aurolineatum and Haemulon plumierii

Mary Frances Babrowicz, Kevin Spanik, Rachel Bassett and Gorka Sancho, Department of Biology

A diet analysis can provide insight on competition for resources, food web dynamics, and transfer of energy through the ecosystem. Species population management is most effective when focusing on ecosystem based fisheries management. Studying groups of fishes rather than one species can be useful when completing a dietary analysis of the community. This study compared the diet of two species from the genus Haemulon: Tomtate, Haemulon aurolineatum, and White grunt, Haemulon plumierii. Both species had a widespread diet that included amphipods, bony fishes, bryozoans, crabs, decapods, echinoderms, gastropods, isopods, mollusks, ostracods, shrimp, sponges, stomatopods, tunicates and worms. White Grunt had a more diverse diet, feeding on a total of 52 varied prey items, while Tomtate fed on 21 different prey items. Competition between the two fish is unlikely because of the wide variety of prey items consumed.

29. Slumps in a Proposed Marine Protected Area on Florida’s Atlantic Margin

Luke Rein and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

A proposed network of marine protected areas (MPAs) off the east coast of the United States has undergone multibeam sonar surveillance to determine the major seafloor features in the region. One particular site, located approximately 130 km east of Jacksonville, Florida on the shelf margin, possesses a number of slump features that may provide habitat for fishes in the snapper‐grouper complex that the MPA is intended to protect. The slumps at this survey site were analyzed to determine a relationship between slump width and slump relief, and it was found that in most cases, slumps exhibit greater relief as they increase in width.

30. Toxicological Effects of Oil Dispersants Finasol OSR 52 and Corexit 9500 on the Eastern Mud Snail, Ilyanassa obsoleta

Millie Thomas and Marie DeLorenzo, Biology Department

The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil drilling rig in 2010 brought a discharge of oil into the ocean of a magnitude not previously seen. This necessitated the use of many different means of oil spill remediation, includingoil dispersants such as Finasol OSR 52 and Corexit 9500. With little research previously done on these chemicals, it is of great importance that the effects of these dispersants are better understood as to more effectively and safely clean up oil spills. The Eastern Mud Snail, Ilyanassa obsoleta, is an ideal estuarine species to study the effects of these chemicals on as it lives and feeds benthically in estuaries from Canada to Northern Florida. This study determined the LC50 values of the two dispersants on larval and adult mud snails, and determined that larval and adult snails are more sensitive to Finasol than Corexit, with larval snails showing greater sensitivity than adults.

Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are chronic, relapsing conditions characterized by excessive alcohol consumption and various behavioral deficits. Research in chronically drinking individuals shows functional deficits in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). A recent study from our lab demonstrated an increase in the density of long, thin dendritic spines in the lateral OFC (lOFC) following withdrawal from chronic intermittent ethanol (CIE) treatment. We hypothesized changes in synaptic protein expression would accompany this alteration and performed a proteomics analysis to compare expression in the post‐synaptic density of neurons in the lOFC of CIE‐treated mice versus unexposed controls. CIE treatment altered 29 proteins and immunoblotting confirmed changes in growth associated protein‐43, elongation factor 1, synaptopodin, α actinin, and excitatory amino acid transporter‐2. Protein‐level changes affect morphological remodeling and glutamatergic signaling; together, these physiological processes may underlie OFC‐dependent behavioral deficits observed in AUD patients.

32. You Can’t Monitor A Volcano If You Don’t Know What Time It Is

Carolina D. Cardoso and Steven C. Jaumé, Department of Geology and Environmental Sciences

Beginning on September 23, 2004, earthquake activity increased within Mount St. Helens, which culminated in an eruption on October 11. We acquired data from seismic stations close to Mt St Helens from the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology Data Management Center (IRIS DMC). We attempted to use this data to locate and track seismic sources within Mt St Helens in the lead up to the eruption. Unfortunately, after some analysis, we determined the data was corrupted. We expected P‐waves to always arrive at station SEP before station YEL; we found, however, that for some events this was reversed. A detailed examination of data from SEP and YEL revealed time gaps and overlaps ranging from 0.086 to 0.899 seconds in the seismograms. This leads to mislocations of seismic events by up to 2 km. We are in the process of reporting this problem to the IRIS DMC.

33. Dynamic Modeling of Targeted and Non‐Targeted Advertising Strategies

Chloe Fletcher and Jason Howell, Department of Mathematics

With the growing collection of data regarding the depth of detailed knowledge of consumer habits and trends, firms are gaining the capability to discern customers of other firms from the market of uncommitted consumers. Firms with this capability will be able to implement advertising campaigns where the advertising effort towards customers of competing firms differs from that towards uncommitted customers. We develop two mathematical models for APPENDIX F

the dynamic behavior of sales due to competitive advertising in a setting with a small number of competing firms. One model (non‐targeted) assumes the advertising effort is the same for both categories of customers, and the other model (targeted) gives firms the capability to allocate advertising effort across the two categories differently. The models are mathematically analyzed and we formulate and answer several strategic questions that a firm may face when implementing a targeted policy.

34. CHRONI ‐ An Android Application for geochronologists to access archived sample analyses from the NSF‐funded GeoChron.org data repository

Joye Nettles and Jim Bowring, Department of Computer Science

Today, geochronologists are archiving their data and results to public cloud archives managed by the NSF‐funded GeoChron database. The software application ET_Redux developed by Dr. Bowring at the College of Charleston provides seamless connectivity to GeoChron for geochronologists to automatically upload and retrieve their data. CHRONI is a mobile application for Android devices that provides easy access to this information. With CHRONI, geochronologists can view archived data and analyses downloaded from the Geochron database, or any other location, in a customizable format. CHRONI uses special documents called Report Settings to create the customized data display on a mobile device. In addition to providing geologists effortless mobile access to archived data and analyses, CHRONI allows users to manage their GeoChron credentials, download private and public files, and view specialized graphics associated with particular files. Future versions of CHRONI will be developed to support iOS compatible (iPhone, iPad, and iPod) devices.

35. Analyses of Marine Protected Areas on the North Carolina Continental Shelf

Lisa Diamond, Department of Biology and Leslie R. Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Along the southeastern coast of the United States, oceanic and conservation organizations have joined forces to enact Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) with varying geographic locations, sizes, and management types in order to benefit focal species and their critical habitats. Two MPAs in North Carolina, located off the coast of Frying Pan Shoals and Cape Lookout Shoals, were evaluated through the analysis of their seafloor features and biology. In June 2014, NOAA geoscientists collected multibeam sonar data from aboard NOAA Ship Nancy Foster. This bathymetric information provided insight to the seafloor features found at each MPA. Additionally, NOAA provided underwater images from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) in these areas. Images showed presence/absence of the focal species near these protected and managed zones. Seafloor features and biota present were analyzed together to assess each MPA’s influence on the focal species’ abundances.

36. Behavioral Neuroscience in the Snapping Shrimp, Alpheus angulosus: An Autotomization Study APPENDIX F

Patricia Cooney, Melissa Hughes and Chris Korey, Department of Biology

The snapping shrimp, Alpheus angulosus, exhibits a unique characteristic in its front claws. The snapper, used for defense and communication, and the pincer, used for feeding and habitat manipulation, differ radically in shape and size. When grabbed by the large snapper claw, the shrimp will generally drop, or autotomize, it in the interest of survival—just as a lizard might drop its tail. Upon autotomization, the shrimp can "switch hands" by regenerating a pincer from the previous snapper limb, and transforming the previous pincer into a functional snapper. While this transformation is standard among snapping shrimp, the specific autotomy behavior seems to differ within the species. To evaluate these differences and understand the role of nervous system control in this process, we have begun a large‐scale behavioral analysis in which we compare drop latency of shrimp by sex and size initially, and by stage in claw transformation after initial autotomy.

37. Searching for Emission Episode Self Consistency in Gamma‐Ray Burst Light Curves

Thomas Cannon and Jon Hakkila, Department of Physics and Astronomy

Using light curves of gamma‐ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Burst And Transient Source Experiment on NASA’s Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, we introduce a new method of self‐ consistent GRB categorization. We compile a table of similarity distances measuring the degree of correlation between any two GRB light curves. We then apply automated data mining tools such as Self‐Organizing Maps and decision trees to sort like‐GRBs into groups according to their similarity distances. The results give us an additional method for classifying GRB light curves.

Candida species are the most common fungal pathogen of humans. Our laboratory has discovered that complement‐derived peptides prompt potent antifungal activity against Candida glabrata. The goal of this study was to examine whether cells display classic markers of programmed cell death in response to complement peptide exposure. Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid membrane component that is held on the cytosolic side of the cell membrane by the flippase enzyme. The triggering of cell death allows phosphatidylserine to flip to the extracellular side, becoming a signal to macrophages to engulf the cell. Cell death may also be triggered by DNA damage, and is accompanied by the production of excessive reactive oxygen species. Therefore, this study measured the appearance of programmed cell death markers in complement peptide treated cells by monitoring intracellular reactive oxygen species, the APPENDIX F

appearance of phosphatidylserine and annexin in the outer membrane, and the degradation of DNA.

39. Gender Determination and Reproductive Development of the American Eel, Anguilla rostrata, in Southeast North American Waters

M. Austin Sturkie, Department of Biology

The American eel, Anguilla rostrata, is a catadromous species found throughout the waters of eastern North America. A histological verification of gross gender assessment and reproductive development in the species provided a unique opportunity to compare findings in southern waters to previous studies, all of which so far have been performed in or north of Chesapeake Bay. All specimens studied were caught in inshore waters of South Carolina. A relationship was found between fish length and maximum oocyte size, while measurements of mean and extremes in oocyte size were found to be in disagreement to all past studies performed in more northerly waters, likely due to differences in environment sampled and the reproductive strategy of the animal itself.

19 40. Introduction of FT‐IR and FNMR Protein Probes via SNAr

Brenna Norton‐Baker, Jessica Kapp, Carson Reed and Marcello Forconi, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

The electronic environment of proteins is highly idiosyncratic. IR and NMR spectroscopy are commonly used to reveal information about the properties of local environments. Proteins lack nitrile groups and fluorine atoms, making these good candidates for selective probes. Taking advantage of the nucleophilicity of cysteine, we developed a facile, inexpensive way to modify this amino acid and introduce such probes via nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr). We found that N‐ and O‐protected cysteines react with a variety of fluoroaromatics, including 3,4,5‐ trifluorobenzonitrile (TFBN). FT‐IR analyses showed that the nitrile stretching frequency of the cysteine‐fluorobenzonitrile is dependent on the solvent electronic properties, lending to the proposal that it will indicate electronic properties of protein microenvironment. Protein modification trials were conducted using lysozyme, BSA, and hemoglobin. Analysis of the TFNB‐ treated proteins through Ellman’s reagent and mass spectrometry analysis suggests that solvent‐exposed cysteine residues of these proteins were modified by TFBN.

41. Slope Failure Potentiality within the New England Seamount Chain: Analyzing Bathymetric Profiles for Potential Submarine Landslides

Garth Groshans and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

The New England Seamount Chain (NESC) is a deep sea volcanic chain comprised of over 30 volcanic peaks. These seamounts developed from the Great Meteor mantle‐plume hotspot between 100 and 80 million years ago, and extend over 1200 kilometers in the northwest APPENDIX F

Atlantic Ocean. Seamounts of the NESC exemplify eminently steep terrain that could potentially have hazardous implications if submarine landslides were to result. The Gulf Stream current coinciding with steep topography can possibly expedite erosional processes. In addition, the entire NESC is capped with a thin layer of sediment on top of basaltic rock, which can contribute to further instability. At the utmost, severe slope failure could produce a cataclysmic tsunami event on the prone shores of Bermuda or New England. Cross‐sectional profiles allow for quantifiable comparisons of seamounts based on calculations of slope and hydrostatic pressure. Seamounts exhibiting definitive guyot morphology posed the highest feasibility for slope failure.

42. Geomorphology of the Continental Margin off of the Dingle Peninsula, Ireland

Hannah Yates, Leslie Sautter and Erin Beutel, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

From May to June 2009, the R/V Celtic Voyager collected multibeam bathymetric data off the southwest coast of County Kerry, Ireland for The Geological Survey of Ireland and Marine Institute. The system used for data collection was a Kongsberg EM3002 system. CARIS HIPS and SIPS 8.1 software was used to post‐process the data and create 2D and 3D bathymetric surfaces. The area of study is located within Dingle Bay and immediately south of the Blasket Islands where the seafloor ranges from a depth of 20 to 100 m. The various features studied within Dingle Bay (outcrops, joint systems, and folds) show compressional forces acting both NW‐SE and NE‐SW, representing the Caledonian and Variscan Orogenies, respectively. The main deformational event that has shaped the geomorphology of Dingle Bay appears to be the Caledonian orogeny in the late Cambrian to mid‐Devonian.

Best of Chemistry & Biochemistry and Best of Mathematics 43. Convex Solubility Parameters for Polymers

Benjamin Stephens, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

Solubility parameters are certain measurable quantities that are observed to influence the ability of a solvent to fully dissolve a polymer. Current theory indicates that the dispersion energy, the dipole interaction, and the hydrogen bonding of the material are of critical importance, and each material has coordinates in a three‐dimensional parameter space. The Hansen Solubility Parameters of a polymer are taken to be the center of the sphere of best fit of the coordinates of the good solvents in the parameter space. We propose a new method APPENDIX F

computing solubility parameters of a polymer that employs the convex hull of the good solvents in the parameter space and describe several alternatives for the computation of the convex solubility parameters of that polymer.

44. Histological analysis of adipose tissue in the tail of American alligators exposed to tributyltin in ovo

Nolan Barrett, Department of Biology

Tributyltin (TBT), a chemical used as an antifouling agent, gained attention after studies linked TBT‐exposure to imposex in gastropods and obesogenic properties in mammals by stimulating the PPARγ‐RXRα heterodimer signaling pathway. The developmental and obesogenic effects of TBT have not been investigated on Alligator mississippiensis (American alligator). At developmental stage‐19, the collected eggs were given a single dose of 0.5 µl /g egg weight ethanol, 0.2 µg /g egg weight TBT, or 0.625 μg /g egg weight rosiglitazone. At one‐week‐old, the alligators were euthanized and necropsied. In a comparison between hatchlings' and one‐week‐ olds' morphometric measurements, the regression of the tail girth index in the TBT‐exposed group was significantly higher as compared to the control group. The tail adipose tissue was histologically analyzed to evaluate morphological alterations such as the number of adipocytes. The results showed that there were no significant changes in the number of adipocytes across the treatments.

Pre‐clinical models of cocaine self‐administration (SA) suggest dysregulation of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) to the nucleus‐accumbens core (NAc) initiating relapse to drug‐ seeking. We have previously shown that cocaine SA decreases phospho‐protein signaling in the dmPFC two hours after the final SA session, suggesting a reduction in synaptic transmission and shrinkage of dendritic spines. The present study investigated whether cocaine SA alters apical spine head diameter and density in the dmPFC during the two‐hour timepoint. Rats self‐ administered cocaine for 14 days then were perfused two hours after the final session; brain slices containing the dmPFC were cut. Images of individual apical dendrites were then taken from layers V and II/III. Preliminary data indicates that cocaine SA decreases apical II/III spine density and decreases spine head diameters of layer V pyramidal neurons. We predict that this APPENDIX F

alteration plays a role in facilitating relapse due to decreases in synaptic activity during early withdrawal.

46. Ranking Coaches To Help Predict March Madness

Steve Gorman, Department of Mathematics

Despite there being many different types of predictive models to create brackets for March Madness, most don't take into consideration the value of a good coach. In order to take this into account, a simple method of evaluating and quantifying the strength of a coach was developed, called "Coach Ratings". This poster will discuss the creation of Coach Ratings in addition to it's effectiveness at picking out potential upset years and building a better March Madness bracket.

47. Heme Analysis by Liquid Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry

Nicholas J. Harris, Elizabeth H. Blankenship and Jennifer L. Fox, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

Heme is an essential cofactor required for function of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). The protein complexes of the mitochondrial ETC utilize heme cofactors with different functional group modifications of the porphyrin ring, designated heme A, B, and C. To analyze the heme content of mitochondria, we sought to develop a sensitive and reproducible method using liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry. Challenges included the need to avoid the use of trifluoroacetic acid, the low solubility of heme at low pH, and adapting literature heme extraction and liquid chromatography methods designed for use with visible absorbance detection to the mass spectrometer.

48. Analysis of Amino Acid Residues Essential for Function of Heme A Synthase

Nicholas G. Taylor, Nicholas J. Harris, Oleh Khalimonchuk and Jennifer L. Fox, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and University of Nebraska Department of Biochemistry

Heme A is an essential cofactor required for function of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This cofactor enables electron transfer within cytochrome c oxidase to reduce molecular oxygen to water and to help establish the protonmotive force needed to drive ATP synthesis. The heme A cofactor is synthesized from heme B precursor by the successive actions of the heme O and heme A synthases, which respectively incorporate a farnesyl and aldehyde modification to the porphyrin ring. However, the enzymatic mechanisms of these biosynthetic processes remain debated, and recent discoveries suggest additional roles for the heme A synthase. We investigated this enzyme by expressing mutants in the eukaryotic model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae and determined the effects of mutations on enzyme structure and function. APPENDIX F

49. Lumican Emerges as a Potential Regulator of Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy Using a Developmental Approach

Lorna Doucette, Loren Dupuis, Matthew Berger, Samuel Feldman, Shukti Chakravarti, Amy Bradshaw and Christine B. Kern, Biology Department

The maturation of cardiomyocytes and the extracellular matrix (ECM) occurs simultaneously in postnatal development. Collagen assembly is required to maintain a healthy mature heart but not all patients with collagen‐related disorders have mutations in genes directly related to collagen. The role of the small leucine rich proteoglycan (SLRP), lumican that binds to collagen is investigated here. Lumican was immunolocalized in the cardiac ventricles beginning at E10.5. A significant number of mice homozygous for the lumican gene (C57BL/6) died at postnatal day 0 and had increased ventricular myocardium. There was no significant increase in proliferation at E17.5, E18.5 or P0. However the myocardial cell size at P0, 1 month, and 4 months was significantly increased in lumican null mice compared to wild type littermates, suggesting myocardial cell hypertrophy had occurred. These data propose that lumican may play a critical role in the maturation of ECM which controls eutrophic growth of cardiomyocytes.

50. Mopidy

Laura Barber, Cameron Beacham, Michael Blackburn and Ron Zielaznicki, Department of Computer Science

Music has slowly become more and more integrated into our lives as technology grows. Originally, music was static, meaning it only came from one source, but now, music can be from streaming services like Spotify, Pandora, Soundcloud, etc. or local files on whatever device is playing the music. This makes it much trickier to get access to all of your music at once. Mopidy solves this issue by separating the client from the backend controlling your music. This makes your music library extensible and allows you to aggregate all your music sources into one. Additionally, Mopidy uses MPD clients that take Mopidy’s content and delivers it to the device you are using in the format you want. This poster will show our teams contributions to the Mopidy open source project.

51. Opening Apache Open Office

Logan Minnix, Erik Engstrom, Kenneth Startin, Patrick Lynn and Nicholas Bechtol, Department of Computer Science

Apache OpenOffice is an open source productivity suite. As a team, we have joined the community and have contributed to the project by fixing bugs, improving documentation, and adding features. This involved downloading and installing the source code for OpenOffice, getting it running, and also being able to run and debug the code in our Eclipse IDE. The first bug fixed dealt with differentiating between two shades of blue that had been misrepresented in the color palette. The second entailed removing links to older search engines that were no APPENDIX F

longer in use. The third bug was much more involved. The word count function in the Writer module was malfunctioning and needed to be fixed. In our fourth and final bug, we added a new feature to the Writer module. We added shortcut keys to quickly increase the font size of a selected text segment.

52. Using Confounder Correcting Orthogonal Projections to Latent Structures (ccO‐PLS) to classify high‐dimensional data sets with small sample sizes

David Moore and Paul Anderson, Department of Computer Science

Predicting biological phenotypes from next‐generation high‐throughput data sources is essential to bioinformatics. However, confounding variables such as gender, age, and habitat can skew the results of such data, leading to biased and inaccurate results. While work has already been done to create a confounder correcting method in Support Vector Machines by Li et. al, there is no such method available for a classification algorithm suited for high‐ dimensional data sets with small sample sizes (d >> n). We have extended Li et. al’s confounder correcting algorithm for Support Vector Machines (ccSVM) to allow Orthogonal Projections to Latent Structures (O‐PLS) to account for confounding variables. We demonstrate that our novel method improves the accuracy of a non‐confounder correcting O‐PLS implementation, and that it is better suited to datasets that exhibit the d >> n pattern than the ccSVM.

53. The Effects of Cocaine on Cue‐induced Drug Seeking Leading to Relapse

Mallory Mulvaney, Sade Spencer, Constanza Garcia‐Keller, Doug Roberts‐Wolfe and Peter Kalivas, College of Charleston Department of Psychology and Program in Neuroscience and the Medical University of South Carolina Department of Neurosciences

Chronic cocaine usage induces an increase in nucleus accumbens core (NAc) medium spiny neuron (MSN) spine head diameter. These changes, designated as transient synaptic potentiations (t‐SP), occur at variable times during reinstatement. The longer latency in expected t‐SP allowed us to hypothesize that cocaine‐priming suppresses the initial t‐SP. Rats were trained to self‐administer cocaine paired with cues for 10 days. Following extinction, a modified reinstatement schedule was imposed where the rat was exposed to 10 min of cues with no cocaine access followed by 45 min with access. Rats were sacrificed at various intervals to demonstrate that upon access, the increase seen in MSN spine head diameter is reversed. This reaffirms that cocaine promotes an increase in dopamine release in the NAc, thus removal of this access increases drug seeking behaviors. This research is pertinent to finding a treatment for addiction as the reinstatement schedule resembles the human phenomenon “relapse”.

54. Comparison of Salt Withdrawn Basins on the Louisiana Continental Shelf, Northern Gulf of Mexico

Megan Jackson and Leslie R. Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences APPENDIX F

Multibeam sonar data of submarine basins were analyzed along the continental shelf in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, an area known for its numerous salt domes (diapirs). The sonar data were collected in 2014 using a Kongsberg EM302 abroad the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. Three areas of the region off the Louisiana coast were studied and consist of diapirs and several small basins, referred to as salt withdrawn basins. Depths of these basins were measured along with each basin’s short and long axes. A comparison of the axis ratios to basin depths showed depth does not affect the basin shape. Several of the basins measured were nearly circular with varying depths. Backscatter intensity analysis was performed on three basins of varying depths and showed no relationship between basin bottom hardness and basin depth.

55. Geochemical Fate and Transport of Antidepressants in Natural Soils

William C. Vesely, Larissa R. Almeida, Ashleigh N. Kirker and Vijay M. Vulava, Department of Geology

Unintended exposure to antidepressant medications have become a worldwide concern due to increasing presence in water resources. They are discharged from wastewater treatment plants in trace levels resulting in soil, sediment, and groundwater contamination. Trace levels of three antidepressants: fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), and bupropion (Wellbutrin) have been reported in natural streams. The main objective of this study was to determine sorption and transport behavior of these antidepressants in natural soils. Sorption and transport experiments were conducted using two types of natural soils – organic rich A‐horizon and clay‐ rich B‐horizon soils. The antidepressants were measured using UV‐Vis and HPLC techniques. Sorption isotherms were nonlinear and fit using Freundlich model. The data showed fluoxetine and sertraline sorbed more strongly to the B‐horizon soil while bupropion sorbed more strongly to A‐horizon soil. Fluoxetine and sertraline preferentially sorbed with negatively‐charged clay minerals in B‐horizon soils. Bupropion sorption behavior suggests partitioning into organic‐rich A‐horizon soils.

Polymer assembly and organization into well‐defined nanostructures is of great interest for organic photovoltaic applications. We have studied the assembly and crystallinity of two regio‐ regular poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) samples, Mn » 28 kDa and Mn » 65 kDa, in several different binary mixtures of organic solvents. We use an excitonic coupling analysis of the UV/Vis absorbance spectra to assess the impact that the solvent and the molecular weight of P3HT have on the relative structural order of the polymer assemblies. In addition, we investigate the influence that the solvent composition and the structural order of P3HT aggregates have on the assembly and organization of P3HT films. We use optical and atomic force microscopy techniques to study thin films of P3HT processed from different solvent APPENDIX F

mixtures. Our results show that relatively small variations to the P3HT solutions can produce significant changes in the morphology and macromolecular structures of the P3HT films.

Best of Physics and Astronomy 57. Diurnal Evolution of the Statistical Structure of Near Surface Wind

Alexis Payne and Mike Larsen, Department of Physics and Astronomy

Near surface wind’s power spectrum was studied with a focus on how it shifts through a diurnal cycle. Data were acquired using three sonic anemometers to gather wind speed and temperature. For each of the 26 days studied, the data were partitioned into four disjoint six hour intervals. It was apparent that wind’s power spectrum does go through a diurnal shift. However, the transition still preserves statistical structure. Nevertheless, small changes were evident in the power law exponents, for sunrise it was ‐1.64±0.06, for day it was ‐1.68±0.02,for sunset it was ‐1.47±0.15, and night’s was ‐1.33±0.07.

58. Wreck this Calculus Book

Kaitlyn Manley and Amy Langville, Department of Mathematics

Many students are frustrated by their Calculus textbooks, finding them to be dry, formulaic, and uninteresting. These students end up memorizing definitions for tests, without ever learning how to appreciate the conceptualizations behind the polished texts. These students will often ask, "Why do we need to learn Calculus?" or "How is this useful to me?" Professor Langville started writing her "Wreck this Calculus Book" series with the goal of instructing students in a way that they can understand the "traces of investigation" made by the discoverers of calculus. Using hands‐on activities, challenge and conceptual problems, graphic novellas, pictures and diagrams, and stories of the history of mathematics, the "Wreck this Calculus Book" series has flourished, with five potential works in progress, including two nearly‐ complete books covering Calculus 1 and Calculus 3. This poster will show examples of the types of activities and pages in her books, and explain why books like these are needed.

59. Bathymetric Analysis of Axial Seamount's Southeastern Flank, Juan De Fuca Ridge

Anna DeGeorge and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences APPENDIX F

Multibeam sonar data were acquired aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson. Axial’s southeastern flank exhibits a unique topography that is a direct result of the geological implications and processes associated with extrusive eruptions and seismic activity. Through this study, we found that the flank is characterized by terraced lava flows. The feature has layers that extend from the caldera to the base and all vary in depth ranging from ~1450 to 2500 meters. The second area studied was a cluster of small seamounts located at the base of the flank. The seamounts sit in a linear pattern and all have the same general morphology. These six seamounts range in depth from ~2400 to 2500 meters. Backscatter analysis showed that the shorter seamounts are primarily composed of hard rock, most likely basalt, and the taller seamounts are composed of soft substrate, most likely sand, mud, and silt deposited on the seafloor.

60. Extending deep neural networks to multi‐way classification

Kellan Fluette and Paul Anderson, Department of Data Science

Deep learning models that capture high‐level abstractions in data often outperform standard models for classification problems. On large datasets, significant gains in classification accuracy can be achieved by using computationally efficient non‐linear transforms, such as using deep neural networks (DNNs) or stacked denoising autoencoders (SDAEs), to model higher‐level abstractions in the data before using standard models for classification on the transformed dataset. Le et al. have developed Fastfood, a method for approximating kernel expansions in loglinear time; kernel expansions are performed in neural networks and must be calculated for every pair of training samples–this quickly becomes costly for large datasets, and is partially resolved by using Fastfood kernel expansions. As the existing paper describes using Fastfood optimized neural networks (FONNs) for binary classification problems, we extend the algorithm such that it can be applied to classification problems with more than two classes using a logistic classifier.

Best of Computer Science 61. Galaxy Classification Using Deep Belief Networks

Alexander Jacobs and Paul Anderson, Department of Computer Science

The massive number of galaxies in the universe poses a central problem for astronomers and requires novel techniques to be used for classification. To cope with the vast amounts of data created by modern observations, past research organizations, specifically Galaxy Zoo (part of the citizen science project, Zooniverse), have crowd‐sourced morphological classification APPENDIX F

techniques, inviting members of the public to log onto a website and classify the data. The technique has been effective, but we hypothesize that we should be able to apply machine learning techniques to classify the data as well as humans. We analyze the performance on this classification task for a deep learning neural network constructed by stacking restricted Boltzmann machines on top of one another, also referred to as a deep belief network.

62. The Roles of MMPs and nNOS in Animal Models of Heroin Reinstatement

Emily Berich, Alexander Smith and Peter Kalivas, Department of Psychology and Program in Neuroscience, College of Charleston, and Department of Neuroscience, Medical University of South Carolina

Proteins necessary for the neuronal plasticity that characterizes addiction include matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). We explored the effect of pharmacologically inhibiting MMP‐9 and nNOS in a brain region critical to addiction, the nucleus accumbens (NA), on reinstatement behavior and MMP activity. Following heroin self‐ administration, rats received intra‐accumbens injections of either MMP or nNOS inhibitor prior to reinstatement, a quantifiable model of heroin relapse. Behavior analysis revealed that MMP‐ 9 inhibitor attenuated reinstatement‐associated level pressing, (p=0.2659), suggesting MMP‐9 is necessary for heroin relapse. Furthermore, in vivo zymography data suggested that microinjections of nNOS inhibitor, but not MMP‐9 inhibitor, led to lower levels of MMP activity than contralateral microinjection of vehicle (t4=3.692, p=0.021), indicating that nNOS is necessary for the MMP upregulation associated with heroin reinstatement. These data implicate an important role for MMP‐9 and nNOS in neuronal plasticity related to heroin relapse.

63. Are You a MAHT Person? MAHT, a novel genomic approach to study the stability of human tRNAs.

Ariel McShane, Eveline Hok, Jensen Tomberlin and Renaud Geslain, Laboratory of tRNA Biology, Department of Biology

Genetic translation is the universal mechanism that allows the biosynthesis of cellular proteins; some of the most prominent actors in this process are transfer RNAs. Paradoxically, little is known about the stability of individual tRNA species because of the practical challenges that represent precise and systematic tRNA identification. This work describes a new technical and conceptual in vivo approach named MAHT (Microarray Analysis of Human tRNAs) designed to study the stability of human tRNA at the genomic level. The overall half‐life for the entire pool of human tRNAs was estimated at 43 hours, suggesting that most tRNAs are passed down from parent to daughter cell during cell cycle. Interestingly, five tRNAs, specific to Leu, Gly, Glu, Pro and His amino acids were found to be significantly less stable. The role of posttranscriptional modifications on tRNA stability is currently under investigation. APPENDIX F

64. How noise influences the interval timing clock

The ability to accurately and reliably estimate the passage of time in the supra‐seconds range (interval timing), is critical for cognitive processes like decision making, rate calculation, and planning. A timed response in this temporal range typically follows a Gauss‐like curve centered at the time being estimated (criterion time) and with a standard deviation proportional to the criterion time. We used a computational model that mimics the activity of some neurobiological structures known to be involved in interval timing. In our model, the output of the network is determined by the coincidence between the state of the network at the reinforcement time and the current activity. We found that small fluctuations of the network’s parameters have specific signatures that allow us to identify the source of noise.

65. Graphical User Interface for Beets

Derek Novo, Andrew Hanold, Jason Houston and Carter Wooten, Department of Computer Science

Beets is a free and open source music organizer that aims to give the user exceptional control over manipulating and accessing his or her music library by utilizing metadata. Beets catalogs the user’s music collection and improves its metadata upon continual use by exploiting the MusicBrainz database. Before this work, the user was required to evoke Beets’ functionality via command line operations. We are currently implementing a workable Graphical User Interface (GUI) for both novice users and an overall more intuitive experience. Here, we discuss the requirements analysis involved in developing this GUI. Specifically, we examine the requirements analysis involved in designing the import function, which moves music to the user’s desired directory. Since this function can be customized with a tag suite on the command line, we aim to retain this flexibility in our GUI.

66. Blockade of Stress Related Neuropeptides Reduces Binge‐Like Drinking in Male C57BL/6J Mice

Clark Phelps, Rachel Anderson, Marcelo Lopez and Howard Becker, College of Charleston Department of Biology, Charleston Alcohol Research Center, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences‐Medical University of South Carolina and Ralph H. Johnson Veterans Administration Medical Center

Alcohol abuse is one of the most preventable health problems facing society. Mouse models are useful for testing drugs that may reduce excessive alcohol consumption. In this experiment we examined the effects of two drugs that have been recently shown to play a large role in APPENDIX F

stress modulated drinking, a κ‐opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist and a corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) antagonist on binge‐like drinking using the drinking in the dark model (DID). In the DID model the mice were given access to alcohol for 2 hours for 3 consecutive days, followed by a 4th test day when we administered the drug prior to 4 hours of access to alcohol. We also tested both drugs with sucrose drinking and activity monitoring boxes to see if they were selective for alcohol. KOR antagonists appear to be a great candidate to treat excessive alcohol consumption, while CRF antagonists appear to have nonselective effects.

67. Comparison of Effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks

Daniel Hurlburt and Paul Anderson, Data Science/Computer Science Department

There has been a great push in recent years to allow computers to make sense of the vast amounts of data which exist around us. Tasks of allowing computers to make meaningful associations and classifications are becoming increasingly important, and great strides have been made in recognition tasks because of advancements in convolutional neural networks, which perform recognition by using overlapping input fields. The layers of the network provide continually higher‐level features until a classification can be made. After studying these networks, the question of their strengths and weaknesses in evaluating different types of datasets became a question. To that end, we tested convolutional neural networks on a variety of image datasets to compare its relative effectiveness.

68. Post OP

Michael Andino, David Amick, Miller Fanning and Ryan Sprowles, Department of Computer Science

There are very few, if any, open source social media applications. This led to the development of a new project known as Post OP. Post OP is an open source social media grouping application. The application was designed to allow the user to post statuses, images, and view live feeds for all of their selected social media sites. The application runs on AppJS and uses a SQLite Database, allowing the application to be multi‐platform. The process begins by saving user login credentials into the database as a way to persist login data. After the user has successfully logged in, the application retrieves the specific API and uses node.JS to post and receive requests from the respective social media site. The user has the ability to post to any and/or all social media sites at once through a single request. The results of this project have proven that open source social media integration is possible though very difficult.

69. Analysis of Terracing and Geomorphology of the Florida Escarpment

Sarah Chahin and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Multibeam data were collected on the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer in 2011 and 2014 and post processed with CARIS HIPS to investigate the terracing features present in two study areas on APPENDIX F

the Florida Escarpment. Study area 1 showed that the terracing features have gradual relief descending down the platform, but has a higher relief with near‐vertical drops (100‐400m) at the region of the area where terraces are present. A second study area showed similar features, although the relief in this location was more exaggerated and terracing started at a shallower depth with drops between 500 and 900 m. Backscatter data shows that in the locations where terracing is present, there is hard rock exposed, which is likely limestone. The forces affecting the geomorphology of the terraced features are turbidity currents, slope failure, ground water sapping, exfoliation and undercutting, and biogenic methane seeps.

70. Noise and Distortion in Mental Imagery

Katie Lynam and Thomas Naselaris, Department of Biology and Program in Neuroscience, and the Medical University of South Carolina Department of Neuroscience fMRI studies show that visual perception and mental imagery are related, but not identical. In this study we show that it is possible to model and compare these processes using a simple visual task. We also attempt to determine the causes of error in mental imagery, which we believe is a result of noise and distortion. Subjects were shown an image on a computer and asked to remember it. Then they were shown probes and asked to count how many objects the probe covered in their mental image. Afterwards, a perception trial was conducted in which the probes and image were presented simultaneously. We found that there are differences between imagery and perception, mainly due to distortion. In addition, we created unique pictures representing each subject’s mental image and perception. Understanding these two processes can help explain errors in memory and improve treatments for mental disorders associated with mental imagery.

71. Method Development for Metabolomic Analysis by LC‐MS

Elizabeth H. Blankenship, Wendy C. Cory and Jennifer L. Fox, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

Specific metalation of metalloproteins is crucial for many biochemical functions and depends on well‐regulated metal transport and intracellular storage processes, including mechanisms that are less than fully understood. To investigate metabolic differences experienced by cells in response to varying metal ion availability, we developed methodology for metabolite extraction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and analysis by ultra high‐performance liquid chromatography‐ mass spectrometry. These methods and the reproducibility of results from independent biological samples are presented here.

72. Fungal and bacterial composition of sea turtle nest sand at Ostional, Costa Rica

Morgan Larimer, Kristina M. Hill‐Spanik, Vanessa Bezy and Craig J. Plante, Department of Biology APPENDIX F

Olive ridley sea turtle hatching success is lower at mass nesting beaches than at solitary nesting beaches, presumably due to the high microbial activity that results from decomposing eggs crushed by overlapped nesting. Higher microbial activity at these sites increases temperature and decreases oxygen availability, potentially interfering with embryonic development. To discount specific pathogens or fungal invasions as possible causes of embryo mortality, a comparison of microbial species composition and diversity in areas of high and low survival was conducted using PCR‐DGGE. Preliminary results indicate no statistically significant difference between the fungal communities of the sample sites. The bacterial component of this research is ongoing. Additional analyses (i.e. band excision and DNA sequencing) are also planned.

73. Solvents, micelles, and random proteins: Are they different from computationally‐ designed Kemp eliminases?

Enis Sanchez and Marcello Forconi, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

De‐novo computationally‐designed enzymes can produce significant advancements in our ability to break down pollutants and cure diseases. The most promising enzymes are Kemp eliminases, which speed up the Kemp elimination reaction of 5‐nitrobenzisoxazole by 107‐fold using active site carboxylates as the general base. The factor of acceleration by the nonpolar solvent acetonitrile suggests that simply partitioning the substrate in this protein’s hydrophobic interior catalyzes the reaction. We used micelles and long‐chain carboxylates or phosphates to simulate this protein’s core. These simple model systems accelerated the reaction by 104‐fold. Linear‐free energy relationships suggest that the rate acceleration is due to the loose positioning of the substrate’s reactive groups rather than specific interactions between the substrate and the micelle or enzyme. The natural enzyme ketosteroid isomerase (KSI) possesses an active site capable of accommodating 5‐nitrobenzisoxazole and significantly accelerates Kemp elimination. We are currently using site‐directed mutagenesis to investigate this enzyme’s mechanism of action.

The complement system, comprised of over 30 soluble and cell surface proteins, is a vital component of the both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Complement activation leads to the generation of pro‐inflammatory anaphylatoxins, C3a and C5a. These pro‐inflammatory mediators have been shown to promote tumor growth. Using a mouse model of subcutaneous lymphoma (EL4), localized radiation therapy (RT) was shown to significantly reduce the tumor growth rate and increase survival in C3aR/C5aR knockout (KO) mice compared to wild‐type (WT) mice. Thirty‐seven days post initial RT, 66.7% of the KO that received RT had no detectable primary tumor. These six mice were re‐challenged with EL4 cells. After an additional 37 days, 5 of the 6 re‐challenged KO mice had no detectable primary tumor, suggesting an anti‐tumor memory response. Further studies are needed in order to confirm and determine the mechanism(s) responsible for this anti‐tumor immune response.

75. Using an Accumulation Contribution Fraction to Investigate Rainfall

Joshua B. Teves and Michael L. Larsen, Department of Physics and Astronomy

Using a dense optical rain gauge array near Charleston, SC, a novel measure of rain is used to categorize and analyze storm behavior. Using 14 non‐overlapping raindrop diameter ranges, the fraction of each size category's contribution to overall accumulation is determined. This "accumulation contribution fraction," fa, is calculated each minute over both a summer and winter storm. The diameter range with the largest fa, Ma, was determined for each minute. Assuming a Marshall‐Palmer distribution, the theoretical Ma was determined. Both theoretically and observationally, Ma's were determined. Strong agreement was found for the winter storm. In the summer storm, however, the theoretical Ma largely underestimated the observed Ma.

AquaTerra is a plug‐in that interfaces with the ArcGIS geographical mapping software provided by Esri. The AquaTerra toolbox prototype was developed by James M.L. Newhard, Norman Levine, and Angelina Phebus. The purpose of AquaTerra is to map out Terrestrial and Marine Communication Routes between two points on a map given a GeoDatabase. Our team has adapted and refactored the prototype with the intention of providing the modified AquaTerra python toolbox to the public as free and open source software that can be further modified. As a result the newly refactored AquaTerra is on GitHub ready to be collaborated on by an interested community. APPENDIX F

77. Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis of El Guapo Chimney

William G. Dennis‐King, M. Montgomery Taylor, Robert L. Nusbaum and Leslie R. Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

El Guapo is an active hydrothermal vent located along the Juan de Fuca ridge ~300 miles off the western coast of Oregon. A small (1‐m) inactive, parasite vent was collected from the base of El Guapo during the 2013 VISIONS’ 13 expedition led by University of Washington. Two cm‐sized flat segments were prepared for imaging and elemental analysis using a Tescan Vega3 Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive (EDS) system. SEM/EDS analysis revealed textural and compositional variation between the two samples: one from the (vent) center and the other closer, but not at, the vent edge. The “central vent” sample consisted of colloform mafic glass with intergrowths of 20 micron Zn‐sulfide euhedra. The “closer to the edge” sample also exhibited colloform and amorphous masses of mafic glass along with disseminated 1‐micrometer Zn‐Fe sulfides. These observations may reflect temperature variation within this small vent when it was active.

78. Open Source: Diving into Firebug & CodeCombat

Adam Sugarman, Jose Gonzalez, Will McCaskey and Scott Hallman, Computer Science Department

Taking a step into the world of open source software can be overwhelming and hard to fathom for developers of any level. Four students dove into two different projects, Firebug and Code Combat. Firebug is a widely adopted extension to the popular Mozilla Firefox, allowing an extension to the built in web development tools to allow users to see any Javascript, HTML, Net requests, and CSS of any webpage live as they use it. Code Combat is a multiplayer strategy programming game aimed to teach users how to code through a interactive game played in any browser. While we experienced many failures in the Firebug project, we had much success contributing to Code Combat. Our poster will highlight our learning points from diving into the world of open source software and show our success in becoming contributors to projects used by millions.

79. Properties of the Coosawhatchie Clay of Jasper County South Carolina

Katie Faust and Robert Nusbaum, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Two specimens from stratigraphically adjacent beds of the Coosawhatchie Clay Member from the Hawthorn Formation were collected from Dawson’s Landing in Jasper County, South Carolina. The Hawthorn Formation is from the Miocene‐Plicocene Epoch and displays prominent outcrops in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Using an ASD spectroradiometer and observation of expansion qualities, it was determined that the clays were montmorillonite‐ rich. Further investigations using a scanning electron microscope for textural and chemical analysis supported this claim and provided possible explanations for why the two samples APPENDIX F

behaved differently. The upper clay sample is rich with diatom fragments while the lower sample exhibits almost none. The results are consistent with a literary analysis that suggests a marine depositional environment for montmorillonite and the silica required for the abundance of diatoms. While no glass shards were observed as evidence of volcanic tephra, high silica and montmorillonite are consistent with a source of distal volcanism.

80. Hacking Brackets ‐ Contributing to an Open Source Web Development Text Editor

Nora Grossman, Katherine Vaughan, Courtney Profera and Venessa Johansen‐Barrera, Department of Computer Science

Brackets is an open source text editor meant to simplify and enhance the web development experience. Described as a “code editor for HTML, CSS, and Javascript that’s built in HTML, CSS, and Javascript”, Brackets supports a wide range of customization as well as live preview functionality for user interface development. Throughout the semester we have contributed to the project in a variety of ways, from fixing existing bugs and reporting new ones to extending the existing functionality to support syntax highlighting for additional programming languages and writing new visual themes. Although bug fixes are considered the de facto manner of contribution to an open source project, Brackets provided us with several different ways to support this vibrant development community, demonstrating that there are many different but equally valuable skill sets needed to create and maintain an open source project.

81. Phenotypic effects of multinutrient treatments on model plant system Arabidopsis thaliana

Elsa A. Cousins, Clare Kohler, Rebecca J. Balazs and Courtney J. Murren, Department of Biology

Root system architecture (RSA) and aboveground phenotypic components can be jointly and independently responsive to nutrient stress and can vary among populations. Ten worldwide natural accessions and five lines per six Iberian populations were grown in replicates under four nutrient treatments. We collected data on bolting date, rosette diameter and height. After harvest, additional aboveground data were collected and roots were scanned for RSA analyses. Phenotyping for this experiment is ongoing. Different nutrient levels result in distinct differences in RSA and aboveground traits. We detected genetic variation among populations for above and belowground traits. Low nitrogen treatments inhibited root growth across the lines and produced smaller rosette diameters, but some populations experienced milder effects. Studying natural variation and understanding stress tolerance in Arabidopsis provides insights into environmental responses that can be applied across plant species, especially those of agricultural significance.

Candida species are the most common fungal pathogen of humans. The goal of this study was to use a candidate approach to identify the intracellular events that are critical for complement peptide killing of Candida glabrata (Cg). We used the nanoString nCounter System, a technology that digitally measures target mRNAs, to identify processes that are altered in Cg cells treated with complement peptide. Cg was incubated in the presence or absence of sub‐lethal complement peptide and isolated RNA was mixed with a custom‐designed nanoString probe set. For each experiment, raw counts were adjusted for technical variability, and then normalized for total input RNA, using the geometric mean of robustly expressed genes. A number of Cg genes in the probe set were altered when the treated and untreated datasets were compared. Future studies will validate the gene expression data and evaluate mutants lacking the identified genes for susceptibility to complement peptides.

83. Applying Principles of Physics and Meteorology to Sea Fog and Rip Current Forecasting

A. Clayton Caulder and B. Lee Lindner, Department of Physics and Astronomy , and Peter J. Mohlin, National Weather Service, Charleston

Coastal hazard prediction can provide a unique challenge for weather forecasters because it involves a wide range of atmospheric and oceanographic processes and potential interactions between them. I explore potential summer research projects using National Weather Service data pertaining to sea fog and rip currents. I will document events of dense sea fog for correlation with various oceanographic and atmospheric data including air temperature, ocean temperature, wind speed, and temperature inversions. For rip current prediction, I will correlate the significant wave height and dominant period of offshore wind waves with the height of breaking waves on the coastline.

84. Salinity Tolerance in Southern Toads

Emily Beam, Department of Biology

Anthropomorphic activities are altering natural environments all over the world with direct implications for organisms and their choice of habitat. The use of road salts to de‐ice roads and agriculture have all introduced a higher level of salinity to surrounding areas than what would naturally be present. This presents a direct challenge, as it is known that amphibians have specific ranges of salinity tolerance and are poor osmoregulators. For the southern toad, Anaxyrus terrestris, a coastal organism, adults have been shown to have a range of tolerance for differing salinities while previous studies have provided evidence supporting a very limited tolerance of tadpoles. Obviously, salinity tolerance varies between life stages. This research APPENDIX F

seeks to understand how physiological and behavioral responses to salinity vary from tadpole, to metamorph, to adult life stages. This would work to better assist conservation as it is important to denote which specific life stages are most imperiled.

85. Body Condition of African Elephants

Emily Beam, Department of Biology

Body condition of individuals relates directly to foraging success and health, and therefore is an important tool for conservation. In this study, a body condition mixed model was used to assess free‐ranging African elephant health and contributing factors in the Tarangire‐Manyara Ecosystem in three protected areas. Seasonality was the largest factor—the average body condition score in the dry season was more poor than scores in the wet season. Another contributing factor was location. The highest body condition scores were found in Lake Manyara National Park, then Manyara Ranch, then Serengeti National Park, and lastly, Tarangire National Park. In the United States, captive elephants were also assessed based on body condition. Though the sample size was small, it was found that out of three locations, a sanctuary environment had higher mean body condition scores than zoo environments.

86. Geomorphology of Lighthouse and Turneffe Fore‐Reefs: Exploration using Backscatter

Kristin Hughes and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Sciences

Deep sea corals are known to form in areas with a topographically enhanced bottom composed of a hard substrate on which attachment is possible. Bathymetric data were acquired for areas of interest in search of deep sea corals from the deep‐water eastern flank, or fore‐reef of Lighthouse Reef Atoll and the southern fore‐reef of Turneffe Reef: 2 of 3 atolls that lie on Belize’s continental margin. With depths reaching 4,000 meters, the atolls lie on submarine ridges just west of the Yucatan Basin. The deep waters of these escarpments have potential for being suitable habitats for deep‐sea corals to thrive. Through this research, it is our hope to benefit future ROV exploration by mapping areas of interest in search of deep‐sea coral habitats. Furthering research of these atolls is crucial for understanding the delicate, threatened ecosystems of deep‐sea corals.

87. Spit Growth and Decay at Pawleys Inlet, South Carolina from 1994 to 2014

Dante Curcio, Mason Atkinson and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Pawleys Inlet is located on the South Carolina coastline between Pawleys Island and Debidue Island. Having an ebb‐tidal delta along with a strong northeast‐southwest longshore current, this inlet migrates rapidly, primarily due to spit accretion on Pawleys Island. The spit can be breached by storm waves, relocating the inlet and causing accretion on Debidue Island’s north end. Google Earth historical images from 9 years between 1994 and 2014 were used to better APPENDIX F

understand how sediment fluctuates between the spit, ebb delta shoals, and the north end of Debidue Island. Following a breaching event between 1995 and 1999, Pawleys’ spit area decreased by 14,000 m2, and continued to erode between 1999 and 2005, resulting in a total decrease of 39,365 m2. Much of the sand migrated to Debidue Island during that time period, resulting in accretion of 22,000 m2.

88. Geomorphology of Two Puerto Rico Protected Habitats

Evalynn Barbare and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Seafloor geomorphology was examined for two distinct protected tropical habitats, located off the northeast coast of Puerto Rico within the Northeastern Grand Reserve Ecological Corridor, and off the southern coast of the nearby Isla De Vieques. These continental shelf and slope areas were surveyed in March 2013 covering depths between 25 and 1150 m. Approximately 866 species of coral reef fauna inhabit these protected areas, and concern has been raised as to their stability to withstand complications. Features of the Reserve and Vieques margins were characterized and compared, and include submarine canyons that plunge approximately 900 m, and fore‐reef edges of coral reef habitat on the continental shelf. These bathymetric 2D and 3D surfaces will be useful as baseline surveys of the critical protected areas to estimate future continental shelf and slope changes.

89. Inlet Orientation Associated with Bar Bypassing and Deposition in a Barrier Inlet System: North Island, South Carolina

Nicholas C. Damm, Kristopher J. Enfinger, William L. Hefner and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Google Earth Pro satellite imagery from 1994 to 2013 was used to examine the relationship between inlet migration and general morphology of the downdrift barrier island at North Inlet, South Carolina. Using a reference line to divide the inlet into throat and tail sections, the orientation of the deep water channel was documented for each study year. The downdrift island’s north end was divided into three equal quadrants to examine accretion and erosion trends. Orientation measurements display a southern trend from 1994 to 2010 shifting 16.91o. As the inlet moved southward, the Central quadrant showed an increased deposition of 31,722 m2, whereas the North quadrant eroded. The South quadrant remained relatively stable until 2010 when a slight shift in tail orientation resulted in a bar bypassing event and subsequent shoal attachment. Therefore, the inlet orientation drives the downdrift barrier island geomorphology and plays a critical role in bar bypassing processes.

90. Ebb‐Delta Breaching and Swash Bar Migration at Breach Inlet, South Carolina, From 2001‐ 2014

Cameron Troilo, Sonja Tyson, Sue Morrison and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences APPENDIX F

In South Carolina, mixed tidal and wave energy environments create an abundance of tidal inlets. Breach Inlet, located between Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island, influences the geomorphology of the flanking barrier islands because of channel direction and wave refraction, causing periodic shoal bypassing events due to ebb‐tidal delta breaching events. Google Earth images from 2001 to 2014 were used to quantify measurements and descriptive statistics. Ebb‐delta breaching and shoal migration affect erosion and accretion rates downdrift and updrift. The average total swash bar volume is 447,610 m3 per year, with increased volumes occurring before breaching with shoal bypassing events in 2005 and 2010. Repeated bypassing events cause tombolo effects on Sullivan’s Island while Isle of Palms experiences accretion or erosion based on channel position. The high rate of swash bar migration causes erosion and accretion on short timescales, which inhibits full development of dune complexes on both islands.

91. Morphodynamics of Captain Sam's Inlet, SC from 1989 to 2014

Cara Lauria, Shelby Bowden and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Captain Sam’s Inlet is a migrating ebb tidal inlet located along the central mesotidal South Carolina coast between Kiawah and Seabrook Islands. Evidence for the main inlet channel migration and pivoting is shown by accretion and erosion patterns of adjacent barrier islands. Migration of the channel southwestward was consistent throughout the study years 1989 to 2014, except for an engineered breaching in 1996. Kiawah Spit showed an average increase in area at a rate of 3.36 km2/year prior to breaching and 18.49 km2/year following the breaching. Accompanying the spit’s extension is a southwestern pivot of the main inlet channel at a rate of 1.91 m/year prior to breaching and 1.05 m/year following the breaching. Quantitative and qualitative measurements collected in this study reveal the morphology of a dynamic inlet downdrift of a recurved spit.

92. Synthesis and Computational Analysis of a Novel, Bis‐Indenyl 'Batwing' Ligand

Carson W. Reed, Travis P. Varner and Richard A. Himes, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

During the synthesis and development of new carbon‐carbon bonds in molecules, it is vital at times to utilize a catalyst that will exhibit some control over the reaction. The chemistry of indene derivatives bound to transition metals has proven fruitful in this area. More specifically, indenyl ansa‐metallocene complexes of titanium and zirconium have characteristic and unique reactivities, especially for controlling the tacticity of polymer synthesis. Slight modifications of indenyl ligands have been shown to have potentially drastic effects on polymerization reactivity. Therefore, we have designed and synthesized a novel, polycyclic, bis‐indenyl 'batwing' ligand through two separate synthetic routes. The steric and electronic consequences of this ligand will be explored and discussed through both experimental and DFT computational methods. APPENDIX F

93. Geomorphologic Analysis of the Eastern Slope of Glover’s Reef: a Coral Atoll on the Continental Margin of Belize

Kori Ktona and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Multibeam sonar data of the eastern slope of Glover’s Reef atoll were collected by NOAA marine biologist Dr. Peter Etnoyer. Glover’s Reef is an atoll within the Mesoamerican Reef, located approximately 45 km east of the Belize mainland. This study of the geomorphology of the seafloor could potentially lead to a better understanding of the entire biological system of deep sea coral habitat. Sonar data were post‐processed to generate bathymetric 2D and 3D images, and backscatter was used to determine the character of the seafloor, including probable locations for deep‐sea corals. Results show various interesting features including canyons and depths over 2,800 meters below sea level. The seafloor characteristics that were defined using backscatter allowed for identification of potential hard‐bottom locations of deep‐ sea coral habitats. Detecting these environments is crucial for the continuation NOAA’s work studying the deep‐sea corals of this atoll.

94. Toward Developing an Expert System for Classifying Gamma‐Ray Burst Pulses

Maly Taylor, Thomas Cannon, Stephen Lesage, Eric Hofesmann, Ethan Redel, Samantha Word, Jacob Epps and Jon Hakkila, Department of Physics and Astronomy

Gamma‐ray bursts consist of pulses that range from the simple to the complex. We can improve upon the empirical Norris pulse model by fitting the pulse residuals with the Hakkila fitting function. We apply this approach to the gamma‐ray data collected by the Burst And Transient Source Experiment (BATSE). Via an expert system we determine which entries will be added to our BATSE gamma‐ray burst pulse catalog. Through discussion and comparison, we identify adequate pulses for catalog inclusion; this is difficult given the low signal‐to‐noise of BATSE data coupled with an apparently large range of pulse characteristics.

95. The Fitting Process for Gamma Ray Burst Pulses

Stephen Lesage, Thomas Cannon, Maly Taylor, Eric Hofesmann, Jacob Epps, Samantha Word and Ethan Redel, Department of Physics and Astronomy

We present a process for modeling and fitting gamma‐ray burst pulses. The bursts in this sample were observed by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on NASA’s Compton Gamma‐Ray Observatory. The Norris fitting function is the four‐parameter model represented by two merged exponential functions. The model easily reproduces multichannel light curves of isolated pulses. However, when fitting many pulses, operator intervention is often required. In many cases the operator must adjust the parameter settings and determine if the output the program has created a good fit, bad fit, or if the pulse structure is simply too uncertain to be fit by the model. APPENDIX F

96. Proposed Mission to Europa

Stephen Lesage, Thomas Cannon, Ethan Schneider and Madysen Cheek, Department of Physics and Astronomy

Jupiter's satellite Europa has a liquid water ocean under its icy exterior that could harbor life. We have developed, in conjunction with UAH engineering students, a mission to Europa with the purpose of determining whether or not Europa's structure is conducive to the development of life. Upon arrival at Europa our mission will establish a polar orbit and deploy between nine and eighteen "temporary probes" as well as one large lander. The network of probes will gather seismic data for 30 days. The lander will study a previously discovered large plume of liquid water near the South Pole. The orbiter will map the surface at multiple wavelengths. Our observations will tell us about Europa's surface, interior, the chemicals on both the surface and interior, how these chemicals interact with one another, and the probability of life being able to develop and grow in a habitat such as this.

97. Analysis of Raindrop Time Series via a Size‐Dependent Pair Correlation Function

Robert Lemasters and Michael L. Larsen, Department of Physics and Astronomy

There is empirical evidence that large raindrop arrival times are not perfectly random. Additionally, it has been observed that a substantial portion of smaller drops tend to be falling at superterminal velocities. The exact mechanism for these phenomena are not clear and it is uncertain whether they are related. In an effort to identify any correlation, the authors use a generalized notion of the temporal cross‐correlation function for use with discrete data. This tool, which will be called the "size dependent pair correlation function" (SDPCF), is applied to data provided by a 2‐dimensional video disdrometer.

Heba Abdin, Victoria Edmund, Brianna Harmon, J'Neice Payne, Brandi Bell, Samaria Boyd, Samantha Bridges, Maya Dilligard, Taylor Gibson, TaMia Morris, Cherie Pitts, James Solomon and Christopher Korey, Department of Biology

HHMI SEA‐PHAGES is a yearlong research‐based course that allows undergraduate students to collaborate with faculty mentors and discover new scientific information. This program is run with first‐year students in collaboration between the First Year Experience and the South Carolina Alliance for Minority Participation (SCAMP). In the fall semester, students isolated novel bacteriophage viruses from soil samples using a variety of laboratory tools and techniques. The bacteriophage Pipsqueaks was selected from the six phage identified in the first semester to be sequenced at the University of Pittsburgh. In the spring semester, students in the First Year Experience Research Course explored basic annotation and bioinformatics. Pipsqueaks’ genome sequence was annotated from the 5’ to 3’ end using the DNA Master APPENDIX F

Genome Annotation Software. We identified the open reading frames based on the predicted coding potential using the annotation algorithm programs Glimmer and Gene Mark. Here we present the initial data from the annotation of this new cluster N phage.

99. Vagus Nerve Stimulation as a Treatment for Parkinson's Disease

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), currently FDA approved for the treatment of drug‐resistant depression and epilepsy, has been shown to induce various electrochemical changes in brainstem nuclei and their projections, including the increase of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in locus coeruleus (LC) target regions. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), studies have shown that the LC noradrenergic (NE) neurons degenerate prior to the dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Therefore, we hypothesize that noradrenergic degeneration regulates growth factor expression in a rat model of PD. To evaluate this hypothesis, a neurotoxic double‐lesion model was used to mimic the effects of PD. Following two weeks of VNS, stimulated rats showed greater locomotor activity, as well as increased BDNF levels in the frontal cortex and striatum and an increase in dorsal striatum density compared to the non‐stimulated rats. Taken together, these data indicate a potential beneficial use of VNS in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

100. The Discovery and Isolation of Six New Mycobacteriophage from the Historic Soil in Charleston

HHMI SEA‐PHAGES is a yearlong research‐based course that allows undergraduate students to collaborate with faculty mentors and and participate in the research process. This program is run with first‐students in collaboration between the First Year Experience and the South Carolina Alliance for Minority Participation (SCAMP). In their fall semester, students used a variety of laboratory techniques to isolate novel bacteriophages that infect Mycobacterium smegmatis from soil samples. Using sterile techniques and plaque assays, we were able to isolate 6 new phages. We created a high titer lysate that contained a high amount of phage to isolate genomic DNA to be sequenced. At the conclusion of the fall semester, the phage Pipsqueaks was selected to be sequenced at the University of Pittsburg. These new phages will APPENDIX F

help in the broader understanding of phage evolution and will contribute to a library of phage being developed as potential therapeutics against M. tuberculosis.

101. Influence of Neck Width on the Hemodynamics of Intracranial Cerebral Aneurysms

Allison Conger and Jason Howell, Department of Mathematics

Recent advances in medical imaging technologies have enabled the study of the hemodynamics of arterial aneurysms through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Researchers in medicine and biomedical engineering have discovered that several measures of the blood flow near and inside aneurysms may lead to enlargement and/or rupture of the aneurysm. These measures include the fluid wall shear stress (WSS) along the interior aneurysm wall, as well as the Oscillatory Shear Index (OSI). This project seeks to investigate the effect that the width of the entry point of an intracranial aneurysm has on the WSS and OSI, and therefore its enlargement and rupture.

102. The Role, Expression and Connectivity of Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase: Implications for Cocaine Addiction

Melissa Lorang, Peter Kalivas and Alexander Smith, College of Charleston Department of Biology and Program in Neuroscience and the Medical University of South Carolina Department of Neuroscience

Chronic cocaine use induces plasticity within a projection from the prefrontal cortex to the nucleus accumbens core (NAc). The extracellular matrix modifies plasticity through matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) activates MMPs. Cocaine use amplifies nNOS production causing greater MMP activity. nNOS role in MMP activation was determined by site‐specifically inhibiting nNOS prior to cue‐ induced reinstatement, then analyzing MMP activity. This study hypothesized and confirmed nNOS inhibition attenuates reinstatement of cocaine seeking, as well as the associated increase in MMP activity. The abundance and colocalization of nNOS interneurons were compared to parvalbumin and choline acetyltransferase interneurons, which demonstrated nNOS interneurons are a unique cell type within the NAc and do not colocalize with either GABAergic interneuron. Furthermore, the prelimbic cortex, dorsal raphe nucleus, and ventral tegmental area exhibit direct monosynaptic connections to nNOS cells.

103. Geomorphology of the Southwest Coast of County Cork, Ireland: A Look into the Rocks, Folds, and Glacial Scours

Shelby Bowden, Rachel Wireman, Erin Beutel and Leslie Sautter Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Bathymetric data were collected off the southwest coast of County Cork and computer generated 2D and 3D bathymetric surfaces were used to examine some of the lithologic APPENDIX F

formations. Several large rock outcrops occur showing a vertical rise of nearly 20 m. These outcrops are oriented in a northeast‐southwest direction, and exhibit significant bed folding and tilting, regional folding, and cross joints. The folds studied are plunging chevron folds. These folds have a northeast‐southwest fold axis orthogonal to the cross joints and are older relative to the jointing systems. The NE‐SW joints are older than the NW‐SE joints due to their correlation with drainage and erosion patterns. Regional folding is the youngest feature due to its superposition on the chevron folding and jointing systems. The interaction of cross jointing and folding is consistent with the geologic history of the area, and creates a unique bathymetry worthy of further study.

104. Optical Properties of Zinc Oxide Doped with Argon and Oxygen

We have investigated zinc oxide (ZnO) semiconducting nanoparticles (~80 nm) doped with Argon (Ar) and oxygen (O2) using photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS). Although the bandgaps did not show notable changes upon increasing the concentration of impurities, the steepness and Urbach energy parameters revealed significant changes. The Urbach energy parameter increased from 0.1478 eV to 0.1870 eV for ZnO doped with Ar (0.1478 eV to 0.1865 eV for oxygen doped samples) revealing increased density of defect states and hence a wider conduction band tail. Upon further increasing the impurity concentration, the Urbach energy shows saturation behavior for both Ar and O2 doped ZnO samples.

1 Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences 2 Universidad de Colima, Facultad de Ciencias

Volcán de Colima, Mexico is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, erupting dozens of times in the past century. It is therefore an excellent laboratory for understanding temporal APPENDIX F

patterns of eruption activity and investigating how eruption magnitudes may relate to the varying chemistry of its erupted lavas over time. The chemistry (including volatiles) of volcanic systems are the most important drivers of volcanic eruptions; understanding their behavior before, during, and after an eruption may result in a better mechanism for predicting the particularly powerful and deadly eruptions that occur about once every century in Colima. X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry and Electron microprobe analyses of melt inclusions within plagioclase phenocrysts was undertaken for rock samples from 1998‐1999, 2004, and 2013‐ 2014 andesitic lava flows; these data will become part of a larger project to observe the evolution of sulfur concentrations over one complete cycle of volcanism of Volcán de Colima.

106. Open‐Source Contributions to Moodle

Don Cole, Jason Curry and Oddom Vong, Department of Computer Science

Moodle is a widely used, free and open source software (FOSS) learning platform that is, in many ways, similar to Oaks. It allows educators to create secure, personalized learning environments for their students. Because it is open source, it is highly flexible and allows individual modules and components to be added or removed by users. Its flexibility also allows it to organize online classes as well as blended learning. Moodle is written in PHP and backed by a MySQL database. Our team made a number of contributions to the project, with examples including fixing issues in SQL queries and data retrieval for HTML table generation.

107. Data Reduction Techniques for Circumstellar Disk Imaging with the Hubble DICE Survey

Benjamin Wilson, Zach Griggs, Clay Gardner and Joe Carson, Department of Physics and Astronomy

We present a status report on the effort to develop computational tools to improve the effective sensitivity of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging observations of circumstellar disks around nearby stars. Specifically, we are implementing an algorithm that enables one to combine tens or hundreds of digital images in a manner that strips away the overwhelming light from the parent star, while leaving intact the faint light from the surrounding disk. Our implemented image processing components are described in the sections of RAM, Shizzle, RSS, LOCI, Outlier Pixel Rejection, and Boxcar Smoothing. The ultimate goal is to reveal disk substructures which can indicate the presence of planetary formation and evolution.

108. Human Genomic Variation in Functionally Polymorphic Genes

Andrea Nillas and Andrew Shedlock, Department of Biology

This project aimed to identify differential expression of functionally polymorphic genes between human populations. Six loci (APOH, AVPR1a, CYP2C9, HERC2, MC1R and VDR) were APPENDIX F

selected and buccal DNA was extracted from human subjects of differing ethnic backgrounds for analysis to determine if ancestral conditions affected modern evolution of these genes. Appropriate primers were designed and PCR conditions were optimized to amplify target DNA segments. Successful amplifications were identified by gel electrophoresis, cleaned and directly sequenced. Sequences were edited with FinchTV, aligned in MEGA and compared to the NCBI reference database with BLAST to detect polymorphism. When referencing the Human HapMap project, loci HERC2 and APOH exhibited diagnostic mutations suggesting possible differential selection. Based on these preliminary results we expect a more extensive haplotype survey of Indo‐Pacific vs. European subpopulations could elucidate how shifts in ancient demographics and culture may have impacted the phenotypic expression of these genes

109. Hypermutation of the Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Genes in Zebrafish

Kaitlyn Ballotti, Joshua Shaffer and Anastasia Zimmerman, Department of Biology

The Zebrafish, Danio rerio, has become a popular model for comparative immunology and biomedical research. In humans, mutations at antibody (Ig) loci are critical for effective immune responses. Knowledge of DNA motifs that are targeted for mutation can be used for understanding antibody responses to various infections, B‐cell cancers, and autoimmune diseases. It is our goal to determine which DNA bases are prone to mutation in Zebrafish immunoglobulin heavy chain genes (IgH). By aligning IgH mRNA transcripts to genomic sequences, biases in DNA mutations at specific base sequences, or AID hotspot motifs, can be discerned. We have obtained over 90 cDNA clones. In aligning these clones to the Zebrafish genome, we have found certain motifs that display high rates of mutation. Understanding how mutations generate antibody diversity is important to establish D. rerio as an immunological model and provide insight for creating novel vaccines and immunotherapies.

110. Solar Photodegradation of Pharmaceuticals in the Aquatic Environment

Taylor Domenick, Lisa Kasprzok and Wendy Cory, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

Pharmaceuticals and their degradation products have been observed in the environment, where they pose potentially negative effects to humans and other organisms. Degradation products may be more environmentally persistent and more toxic than their parent compounds. To investigate the environmental fate of commonly prescribed antidepressants, we measured their solar photodegradation rate in samples simulating the natural aquatic environment. Aqueous drug samples were prepared in 5 mM phosphate buffer (pH=7.0), with and without the organic degradation product humic acid (HA). These samples were photoexposed in a solar simulator and aliquots were taken at relevant time points and analyzed using HPLC and LC‐ESI‐MS. The half‐lives were calculated using pseudo‐first order rate laws. We observed that for most concentrations HA acted as a photosensitizer, speeding up the photodegradation of the compounds. Photodegradation products of sertraline and fluoxetine were detected using LC‐ESI‐MS and structures proposed. APPENDIX F

Nicotine interferes with glutamate transmission between the prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens, an integral pathway to reinstating drug seeking behaviors and mediating top‐down cognitive control and is interrupted by addiction. In animal models, N‐acetylcysteine (NAC) has restored corticostriatal glutamatergic transmission levels and decreased drug‐seeking behaviors. The effects of NAC have yet to be demonstrated in humans addicted to nicotine. The present study examined the influence of NAC on withdrawal symptoms and self‐administration in adult nicotine‐dependent smokers. Participants were randomized to receive either NAC or matched placebo (PBO) over the course of 3 ½ days of monetary‐incentivized smoking abstinence. Participants came to the lab on each abstinence day so that their smoking could be biochemically monitored. Data revealed that compared to the PBO group, smokers in the NAC group significantly reduced smoking, reported less craving and higher positive affect, suggesting that NAC may help prevent relapse via appetitive process restructuring.

112. Cu‐Catalyzed Addition of Alkynyl Trifluoroborate Salts to Imines

Justin Dorris, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

Cu‐catalyzed additions of potassium alkynylboron trifluoride (BF3K) salts to imines are described. The propargylamine products are useful building blocks in organic synthesis. This addition reaction has also proven to be amenable to the synthesis of racemic unnatural amino acids bearing an alkyne moiety. Unnatural amino acids bearing these alkyne moieties could be useful for inclusion in peptides.

113. Varying Forms of Gamma‐Ray Bursts

Eric Hofesmann, Jon Hakkila, Thomas Cannon, Stephen Lesage, Corinne Maly Taylor, Jacob Epps, Ethan Redel and Samantha Word, Department of Physics and Astronomy

In the process of constructing a gamma‐ray burst pulse catalog, we have found that there are some gamma‐ray burst light curves that defy current modeling procedures. Many of the bursts that are unfittable share common characteristics. We have begun to group these bursts together based on their observed features. We have named three easily identifiable groups as "Doubles," "Triples," and "Crowns." Doubles and Triples consist of two or three overlapping emission episodes to the extent that the pulse‐fitting program is able to differentiate between APPENDIX F

them. The Crowns are composed of single emission episodes having very jagged maxima composed of many peaks. However, some gamma ray bursts have light curves that are intermediate between these groupings: these apparently indicate a gradual shift in complexity that may help us understand these varying types of bursts.

114. Predicting March Madness Using Probabilities

Liana Valentino, Department of Mathematics

Numerous predictive models exist that are used to predict a bracket for the NCAA March Madness tournament. Basketball analysts have different opinions regarding which statistics are important to use and the weight of importance associated with each statistic; this discrepancy provides the option to use a variety of different models. Instead of focusing on one model, the current research discusses using several methods with different weights and using the probabilities of teams advancing to create a bracket. This allows a bracket to be created from a combination of many models, instead of using a sole method.

115. Beating the Odds ‐ Massey March Madness

John Sussingham, Department of Mathematics

What is it about March Madness that draws the attention of millions each year? Is it the the aimless stab at creating the perfect bracket? Or perhaps the upsets and unpredictability of it all? The following analysis will reveal which years were predictable vs. unpredictable and how to use this information to form a bracket for this year. One will also learn how to modify the Massey Method of Ranking by implementing various weightings and inducements. Additionally, we will examine each round of the March Madness Tournament as its own separate entity. This will allow us to manipulate our bracket into six sections and apply those different methods to assess and predict each round. In a final analysis, a comparison shall be made between the predicted spreads of our methods to those of Vegas.

116. Synthetic modeling and spectral analysis to determine the surface properties of stars

Annie Steele and James Neff, Department of Physics and Astronomy

While the surface of the sun is easily resolved, distant stars can only appear as points of light, therefore determining the total starspot area must be accomplished using a circulatory approach. Titanium oxide (TiO) presents itself as a capable indicator of starspots because it maintains its structure in cooler regions in the stellar surface. Synthetic spectra were created using the SPECTRUM program and MARCS models. The average flux value was taken both before and after the band heads at 7055Հ and 8860Հ. The flux ratios taken from hot stars are indicative of active stellar surface regions while cool star ratios are used to indicate starspot regions. These TiO ratios are used to estimate starspot temperature and total starspot coverage by both observed and synthetic spectra. APPENDIX F

117. The Photodegradation of Diphenhydramine in Simulated Natural Water

Aliya Dumas and Wendy Cory, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

Pharmaceuticals can re‐enter the sewerage system either by human execrations or improper disposal, leading to detection of low concentrations of pharmaceuticals in the water supply. Active compounds in the water can be exposed to UV light which can facilitate degradation. Thus studies to understand the effects of these compounds, and their degradants on human, aquatic life, and the environment are warranted. Diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl is a commonly used drug. We were able to determine the half –lives of 500 ppb diphenhydramine solutions with varying amounts of humic acid using High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Possible degradation products were determined using Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography‐Electron Spray Ionization‐Mass Spectroscopy. Structures of these degradation products will be confirmed in the future with MS/MS.

118. Characterizing a New Method of Harvesting Energy from the Natural Environment and Exploring the Physics of the Triboelectric Effect

Ryan Michael Sullivan and Alem Teklu, Department of Physics and Astronomy

A prototype DC triboelectric generator (DC‐TEG) is presently undergoing a proof of concept investigation in order to determine its feasibility as a new system for harvesting energy from the natural environment. The DC‐TEG converts rotational motion into electrical energy through the utilization of the triboelectric effect between Nylon fabric and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape. Preliminary results have demonstrated that DC current is generated with the magnitude dependent on angular frequency, surface‐contact area, and properties of the triboelectric materials. Measurements using angular frequencies between 0 and 10 revolutions per second (RPS) have yielded DC currents and voltages with orders of magnitude of 10^(‐9) and 10^(‐3), respectively. However, recent modifications have advanced the performance of the open‐circuit voltage by a factor of roughly 2 for angular frequencies between 10 and 15 RPS. Future work will be to explore different circuits with the DC‐TEG and to model its behavior conceptually and mathematically.

119. Exploring the Bathymetry, Geomorphology, and Seafloor Substrate off the Western Flank Turneffe Atoll, Belize

Rebekah Gossett and Leslie Sautter, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Turneffe Reef is a carbonate platform and atoll within the Belize MesoAmerican Reef. The reef flank extends to depths of over 1000 meters and may provide habitat for critical deep coral species. Using multibeam sonar data collected by NOAA scientist Peter Etnoyer aboard the Ocean Exploration Trust’s E/V "Nautilus", variations in bathymetry, seafloor substrate, and geomorphology on the northwest flank of Turneffe Reef were examined in order to hypothesize the identity of rounded structures found along the reef margin at depths ranging from 500 to APPENDIX F

900 m. CARIS HIPS and SIPS 8.1 was used for post‐processing bathymetry and backscatter data, to determine variations in seafloor hardness and identify potential deep coral sites. Characteristics of the geologic structures surrounding Turneffe Reef provide insight as to how deep coral is supported, and to identify sites to investigate on future ROV missions.

120. Investigation of microbial carbonates of the western shoreline of Storr’s Lake, San Salvador, Bahamas

Kyle W. Bostick, Mitchell Colgan and James Carew, Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences

Extremophilic life continues to push the environmental bounds of what we consider habitable for life. Microbialites are organosedimentary deposits formed in the presence of microbial biofilms/mats and benthic metazoan communities; these biofilms often thrive in extreme environments where microbial‐grazers are absent. Microbialites form as the result of 1) trapping/binding sediment with extracellular polymeric substances and 2) the process of organomineralization. This project has focused upon modern microbialites present in hypersaline Storr’s Lake located in San Salvador, Bahamas. Microscopy investigation has highlighted meso‐ and microscale petrographic diversity of both Dichothrix and Scytonema microbialites from the western shoreline of Storr’s Lake. We have hypothesized that variations in morphology are dependent upon the dominant genus of cyanobacteria, depth of formation, and geographic location. Through observation and literature review, we have concluded that Dichothrix microbialites form through trapping and cementation of surrounding sediments while Scytonema microbialites depend on organomineralization of High‐Mg calcite.

121. Quantifying the Difference Between Imagery and Perception in the Human Brain

Andrew O’Laughlin and Thomas Naselaris Naselaris, College of Charleston Department of Biology and Program in Neuroscience, and Medical University of South Carolina, Department of Neurosciences

When imagining a scene, the images in your head do not precisely reflect the state of objects in the actual scene. Some parts of the brain are not as engaged when forming a mental image, leading to discrepancies from perceiving an image. One long‐standing question in neuroscience is what parts of the brain are involved in forming a mental image. To investigate, we quantitatively determine the difference in brain activity when imagining something versus physically perceiving that thing with your eyes. An experiment with two separate fMRI scans quantifies the difference between imagery and perception. In the first scan, subjects are shown five different works of art and in a second scan they are told to imagine those same works. Analysis on the fMRI data reveals which parts of the brain are active when visually perceiving the art versus what parts are active when imagining the art.

122. Effects of Beach Renourishment on Benthic Microalgal Communities and Biological Sediment Armoring APPENDIX F

Aubrey Butcher, Kristina M. Hill‐Spanik and Craig Plante, Department of Biology

One method of preserving beaches against the effects of erosion and sea level rise is beach renourishment. The town of Folly Beach completed a beach renourishment project from January 2014 to June 2014, which involved pipelining sediment from an offshore borrow site directly onto the beach face. Unlike many other studies that look at the effects of beach renourishment on macro‐fauna, this study aims to monitor the effects of beach renourishment on benthic microalgae (BMA) microscopic, photosynthetic organisms present in coastal sediments. The main objectives of this study were to determine how BMA biomass, community composition, sediment granulometry, and sediment erodibility were altered by renourishment. Results to date indicate that biomass and composition of benthic microalgal communities were altered by renourishment, biomass recovery occurring between 88‐164 days. Sediment erodibility was initially higher in renourished areas, with recovery occurring in 2‐4 months, depending on beach height.

123. Diabetes, Health Literacy and Mobile Technologies

Katie Kirchoff, Department of Computer Science

As health research continues to develop new technologies for patients to better care for health concerns from home, a serious challenge for healthcare professionals is the health literacy of patients. Health literacy is defined by The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, Title V, as the degree to which an individual has the capacity to obtain, communicate, process, and understand basic health information and services to make appropriate health decisions. Through my experience as a research assistant on a project studying health literacy in African American patients within eight counties of South Carolina at MUSC, I have learned a significant amount about diabetes, health literacy and health care education. From my work on the grant and additional research, I have developed the framework for a new type of mobile application that takes into account health literacy to better manage diabetes.

124. Haemulon aurlineatum, A reproductive analysis of sex ratios in Tomtate

Taylor Avery, Department of Marine Biolog

A reproductive study on spawning capable Tomtate, Haemulon aurolineatum, was conducted to determine if their sex ratios differ from 1:1 at different points throughout their reproductive cycle and characterize their spawning season off the coasts of South Carolina (USA). Analysis of 1,250 individuals collected from 2000‐2014 over an eleven month period (January‐November) demonstrated a significantly higher proportion of males in the population regardless of their stage in the reproductive cycle. These data also confirmed that Tomtate are multiple batch spawners with the main spawning season occurring from March to July.

125. Substellar Candidate Search using Spitzer's Enhanced Imaging Products (SEIP) APPENDIX F

Christina Mueller, Department of Physics and Astronomy

For about 20 years, research into distant, faint objects, such as exoplanets, has increased. Many systems of interest are challenging to observe due to the presence of image‐obscuring interstellar dust. Dusty regions can now be viewed at longer wavelengths in the infrared at 3.6 um and 4.5 um, which are nearly free of deleterious influences of dust. Images at those wavelengths for seven nebulae were chosen at random from available imagery. Images were analyzed using the Spitzer Enhanced Imaging Product's source list search powered by Gator, which provides visual and spectral data. The relative flux for 45,000 sources was compared, and 140 sources with flux4.5 > flux3.6 are deemed candidates for further investigation. This selection criterion is a common indicator of substellar objects.

126. NASA Space Mission to Europa

Christopher Andrews, Elise Krall, Sam Fink, and Jeremy Jones, Department of Physics and Astronomy

Europa, a moon of Jupiter, has potential to increase our knowledge of icy satellites, but also of Earth.This moon, according to fly‐by surveys made by the Galileo and Voyager missions, may have a possible sub‐surface ocean. Due to the existence of this potential ocean, Europa could have a high probability of being habitable. We propose three main scientific goals to determine Europa’s habitability: identifying conditions necessary for surface formations by comparing old and new features, understanding the relationship between Europa’s chemical composition and possible life, and constraining the ice sheet thickness and characteristics of the subsurface environment. Our proposed mission will utilize an orbiter to gather data across the electromagnetic spectrum and a lander that will provide additional planetary surface data. Our proposed mission aims to add significantly to our knowledge of Europa while also providing a foundation for future explorations.

127. Jovian Interplanetary Mission to Europa (JIME)

Naomi Hillegass1, Zach Sturman2, Annie Steele3 and Nathan Gunzenhauser3 1 Department of Mathematics 2 Department of Political Science 3 Department of Physics and Astronomy

Europa, Jupiter’s smallest Galilean satellite, is an icy body known to have an ice surface several kilometers thick and an all encompassing ocean beneath. The presence of liquid water and the tidally caused internal energy makes Europa an enticing opportunity to look for extraterrestrial life. We propose a reconnaissance mission to study the habitability through surface evolution, internal structures, and Jovian system interactions. JIME requires both a radiation‐endurant orbiter and lander working in conjunction to one another. The mission will observe the transfer of energies, identify surface and subsurface compounds, and map the intricacies of Europa’s structure. Critical instruments to this mission includes radar, laser altimeters, and high APPENDIX F

resolution cameras over multiple wavelengths. JIME will lay the groundwork for future subsurface missions to Europa in NASA’s continued search for life in our solar system.

As global temperatures rise due to increased industrialization around the world, monitoring air pollution has become a pertinent issue as people attempt to resolve the damage caused to the atmosphere. This presents a need for accessible monitoring in regions that contain factories and production plants. This paper proposes a cost‐efficient approach to gathering this data utilizing a CubeSat, smartphone, and a low altitude balloon. The CubeSat along with its payload will be launched in Decatur, Alabama and Huntsville, Alabama to study the presence of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, and particulate matter. This data will be used to make a statistical analysis of the composition of the atmosphere above both cities, and to determine the compositional changes compared to previous studies in the regions.

129. The Ontogeny and Dentition of the Naked Goby

Tasneem Dossaji, Department of Biology

A recent study shows that there is an abrupt shift from microscopic to macroscopic organisms in the dietary composition of the naked goby Gobiosoma bosc. This study’s primary focus is to correlate the shift in diet to the possible shift in the physical dental characteristics of the sample size collected (n=30). A method of clearing and staining was used in order to observe the ontogeny and dentition of the samples. The number and size of teeth relative to body size was observed. The observations show that there is a positive correlation between body size (measured in standard length) and premaxilary tooth number (R2= 0.60). There was also slight positive correlation between the standard length and dentary tooth number count, but not nearly as strong (R2=0.34). It can be seen that there is a discrepancy between the development in premaxilary and dentary teeth and that there is more significant change in comparison to body size in the premaxilla compared to the dentary.

131. Investigating the Invasive History of Gracilaria vermiculophylla using molecular markers

Sarah J. Shainker, Stacy A. Krueger‐Hadfield and Erik E. Sotka, Department of Biology

The seaweed Gracilaria vermiculophylla spread from its native region, the northwest Pacific Ocean, to Europe and North America. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was used to investigate the invasion’s source and pathways of spread. A SNP is a variant at a single nucleotide of DNA. The SNP of interest exhibited either cytosine (C) or thymine (T). Preliminary data suggested that the SNP could differentiate between populations based on their geographic origin. The SNP was isolated with a restriction enzyme that cut the DNA only when the nucleotide of interest was T. Resulting DNA fragments, visualized using gel electrophoresis, indicated the nucleotide present. Most individuals from the species’ native range exhibited C’s, except for individuals from northern Japan, which exhibited T’s. Most individuals in the non‐ native range also exhibited T’s. These results suggest that the regions of northern Japan and the Sea of Japan are the source of the species’ spread.

132. Believe it or not: not all Six‐Membered Ring Molecules are not in Chair Conformation.

The structural parameters for [Si(CH3)2O]3 have been determined from quantum mechanics calculations (I‐IF, MP2, B3LYP) using different basis sets up to 6‐311++G(2d,2pd). These theoretical parameters were compared to the experimental x‐ray structure for the solid of [Si(CH3)2013. The short internuclear distances are consistent with delocalization in the ring. Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) results confirm the contribution of significant delocalization of the oxygen lone pair electrons. Semi‐empirical calculations which do not include d‐orbitals also reveal a planar structure. For the hexamethyl and possibly the hexachloro derivatives, all conformations other than the planar structure lead to severe steric interactions between substituents. Interestingly, when the oxygen atom is replaced by NH group in 1,3,5‐ cyclotrisilazane, the conformation changed to the twisted boat conformation which is contrary the that the boat conformer is a transition state as in the case of the carbon analogue.
