Type: Text
Year: 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016
Member of: FAU Undergraduate Student Research
Contributors: Ashfaq, Ahmed, Hawkins, Patrick, Hoo-Fatt, Stephan, Stepien, Danielle
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: Data centers are one of key components in success
of many IT companies such as Google. Cooling of
data centers has been a decade-long problem since
tremendous heat emitted from multiple racks of computing
facilities typically overwhelms the cooling
magnitude by traditional air-based cooling schemes.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness
of heat pipe-based cooling… more

Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: The public sphere has been long- saturated with the
spectacle. Among the most prominent form of the
spectacle on television is noted through infamous
family sitcoms that work to explain the dynamics of
family life. Sociologists have long questioned the
role of the family, working to define it as an evolving
institution. This qualitative deductive research study
seeks to examine American… more

Contributors: Dassa, Lori, Osborne, Chelsea
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: My research question was to determine if using academic
games and friendly competitions during instruction
would increase the knowledge of 5th grade
students in science content. To test this hypothesis, I
created a pre/post assessment cycle design focusing
on the human body standard. Participants included
20 5th graders at Park Lakes Elementary. These students
took a pre test, were… more

Member of: FAU Undergraduate Student Research
Contributors: Horowitz, Andrew, Lepore, Salvatore D., Rezler, Evonne, Rucco, Dominic, St. Germain, Elijah
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University Digital Library
Description: An Organic Chemistry Lab experiment is being developed and adapted from work recently published by Maity and Lepore [1] investigating the cyclization of substituted β-alkynyl hydrazines to yield azaproline derivatives. The mechanism of this reaction is putatively driven by cation-π interaction of alkynyl hydrazine with a tetrabutylammonium ion. This experiment will present students with a cutting… more

Publisher: Florida Atlantic University Libraries: Digital Library
Description: Gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) populations are diminishing in South Florida due to habitat fragmentation in urban sites. As a keystone species, gopher tortoises have important ecological roles. The goal of this study was to establish a baseline of intestinal parasites in two South Florida populations. One population resides in a fragmented and non-fire maintained site, Blazing Star, and… more
