Multivariate statistical analysis of hydrogeochemical data to identify and delineate primary influences on groundwater chemistry Open
This study uses multivariate statistical analyses to identify and delineate mine-influenced groundwater from other types of groundwater near a former copper mine in Yerington, NV, USA. This statistical approach was used because some analyt…

The MSUM Native American student needs survey: Highlighting Indigenous student voices in academia Open
After examination of the Equity Score card for Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM) in the Fall of 2023, it was determined that the largest equity gap is among Native American students (which was also representative of the data for t…

Poster 275: Predictors of Surgical Outcome in Patients Undergoing Meniscectomy Open
Objectives: The benefits and outcomes of meniscectomy surgery is a controversial topic among orthopedic surgeons. Though previous studies have sought to address the controversy, there are few that have identified predictors of postoperativ…

Abstract 1886 Breaking Barriers: Assessing Learning Gains of Female and Hispanic Participants in a Sustainability-Centered Internship Program Open
Previous research has shown that female and Hispanic students who are underrepresented in STEM face more educational barriers than their non-Hispanic, male peers. However, little research has been conducted on the effects of intersectional…

Defining the Extent of Mine-Influenced Groundwater in a Mineralized and Agricultural Area Using Multiple Lines of Evidence Open
Mine-influenced groundwater (MIW) at a former copper mine site has affected an alluvial aquifer that also contains groundwater with solutes characteristic of natural mineralization and agricultural activities. Many of the solutes are commo…

Motor memory reactivation: Brief practice makes perfect Open
Motor skills are practiced to retain and transfer to task variations and different environments. Here we report that, contrary to the adage that more practice is better, long-term reactivation of a motor memory with as little as one trial …

A2B: A Toolkit for Computing Circulation Metrics in Buildings Open
One challenging consideration in architectural design is the movement, or circulation, of building occupants. Poor circulation design can lead to daily frustration—and hazardous conditions in emergencies, while good circulation design can …

Temperature Threshold and Water Role in CVD Growth of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Open
An in-depth understanding of the growth process of single walled carbon nanotubes is of vital importance to the control of the yield of the material and its carbon structure. Using a nickel/silica (Ni/SiOx) catalyst we have conducted a ser…
