Math specific anxiety is thought of as a performance-based anxiety, in which increased arousal and negative thoughts inhibit performance on mathematics assessments (Ashcraft & Kirk, 2001; Dew, Galassi, & Galassi, 1984; Levine, 1995). Mathematics anxiety interferes with the manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems in a wide variety of life and academic […]

Sibling relationships provide an important context for both positive and negative socialization in childhood. Although there is extensive anecdotal and scientific evidence which demonstrates that older siblings influence their younger siblings’ social development, I intend to specifically address the gap in the literature about how older siblings might promote empathy development in younger siblings. My […]

I propose a qualitative inquiry about the factors that influence female Chinese international students’ decisions to return to work in China or remain abroad. I will create a semi-structured interview intended to discover what themes emerge for these women through this experience and the important factors in their decisions. Although there is existing research on […]

I intend to address the gap in the literature about the relationship between parenting and children’s empathy development by systematically examining the relationship between a specific type of parenting practice: maternal cognitive sensitivity, and how it promotes children’s empathy development. The main objective of this study is to explore how cognitively sensitive parenting fosters the […]

Positive and negative affects underlying facial expressions are detected and perceived by facial cues, markers and physiological responses. Therefore, the facial cues, markers and physiological responses are important in detecting and perching emotional states. For example, researchers have found that the area of the eye dominates individual’s perception and classification of faces. As well, researchers […]

In a heterosexual-based sociocultural environment, homosexuality has often been ostracized. Negative social attitudes towards homosexuality has impacted the legalization of gay marriage, of LGBTQ2 peoples’ access to social support and their mental health experiences. Before the 1990s, researchers often studied social attitudes at only a conscious, or explicit, level. Later research has suggested that implicit […]

Tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) have received significant interest due to broad-spectrum antibiotics. TCs are detected worldwide in surface water, ground waters, and even drinking water sources because of excreting through urine and feces. The presence of TCs represents a threat to humans and ecosystems by developing drug-resistant bacteria and the toxicity of the antibiotics Thus, it […]

I propose the study on intermediate (value-added) product production from distributed lignocellulosic biomass or waste materials through hydrothermal fractionation/liquefaction/gasification. In future, supply-chain network system is important because of reduction of electric loss. It can avoid food and unused land use issues. also, biofuels are considered carbon-neutral as the plant recycle the CO2 released from their […]

The research projects aims to develop the fast photocrosslinking bioinks for visible light-based stereolithography 3D bioprinting. In order to prepare bioinks for 3D bioprinting, alginate was modified with tyramine which is phenol group and gelatin was modified with glycidyl methacrylate. Compound with alginate-tyramine derivatives(Alg/Tyr) and gelatin-methacrylate(GelMA) will improve its 3D printability, mechanical properties and cell […]

To reduce greenhouse gases, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can be an option. This method is being used all around of the world for stopping global warming. The goal is to remove an excess CO2 in the air. My research uses modeling methods, such as HydroGeoSphere (HGS) and Parameter ESTimation (PEST), which will evaluate how […]

Led by Prof. Steve Tsai from Stanford University, Palo Alto, USA, new methods to efficiently design, analyze, optimize and manufacture high-performance light weight panels made of carbon fiber reinforced composites and thermoset resins have been developed by an international consortium. The ideas already available give indication to massively reduce cost, maximize light weight efficiency and […]
