lesson and before the intended summative assessment
would increase their scores academically and/
or decrease their test anxiety. The idea was acquired
from spending over 1,000 hours in elementary school
classrooms ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade.
It was observed that after a 30-… more

Publisher: Florida Atlantic University Libraries: Digital Library
Description: Major Histocompatibility (MH) genes play critical roles in mounting adaptive immune responses to infectious diseases and parasites. There are two classes of MH genes: Class I and II; Class II can be further divided into Class II A and II B genes, this study focuses on Class IIB. Class II B genes are exceptionally variable in sequence. Leading hypotheses propose that this genetic variation is… more

Member of: FAU Undergraduate Student Research
Contributors: Martins, Caique, Sobhan, Khaled
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: This study tests the long-term durability that can be developed in concrete batches made with recycled aggregate concrete. Durability is a broad term used to define the resistance of a material to weathering effects, but in this scenario, durability will be defined as a drop in the compressive strength of the concrete. To test this, thermal sensing was used to determine the maturity of the… more

Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: The Crashworthiness of Low Speed Vehicles is to
be determined using a custom built crash testing apparatus.
The safety of golf carts is often overlooked because they are considered “low risk” vehicles. The
danger of these vehicles lies in the fact that they
aren’t mandated to have safety features outside of
seatbelts. A test rig that sufficiently tested how these
vehicles react under… more
