Mmesomachi Okoh -  Could this be an end to an Era of a metamorphosis: A look into the female Anopheles' mosquito and its unicellular protozoan. 

Bio:

      My name is Mmesomachi Okoh, this is my last semester (capstone) at DSC Quanta Honours. i would be graduating this spring from Daytona State College and be transferring to Stetson University a

s a pathway to Medical School, by which i would be able to acquire more knowledge and pursue my desired goal in becoming a Neurosurgeon.      I decided to focus my attention deeply in Researching about Malaria Eradication.  it contents consist of the parasite outlook (plasmodium falciparum), protozoa identification, genome, population and feeding process, an overview of what Malaria resistance is like, Elimination options, e.t.c.

About the Report Catalogue:

       Malaria is caused by a plasmodium - and this parasite is developed in a blood- feeding insect (as a primary host),  more like a vector called the Female Anopheles Mosquito. When this parasite gets into the mosquito, then this mosquito follows a circle or chain of transmission, by feeding on the blood of a vertebrate, presumably a human. At this stage, the parasite has been released into the human's bloodstream which grants it an easy access to the other parts and organs of the body, and begins to infect the red blood cells (imitating its shape and form).
     Although the Anopheles mosquito is known as a famous transmitter, but malaria could also be transmitted by a transfusion (blood), organ transplant, sharing of needles or syringes of the infected.
     The article above is an excellent description of a genre that focuses on all audiences, for its a Newspaper format: its a transformative, educational article that deals/ covers Life science, basic health. it uses inquires from educators around the world and could be educating for Science/non science majors, professors, undergraduate students, biology majors, e.t.c.

Whitney M. Minnich (IMES) Phytoplankton: Harmful Algal Blooms(HABs) Research Proposal

Hi my name is Whitney!

I am an aspiring marine sciences student seeking experience and knowledge in the physical and biological properties of the vast water world. I am certified with five plus years’ experience in visual design and project management as well as three years in automotive and machine maintenance.

 In appreciating the beauty of life and understanding the hard work it requires in nourishment to stay balanced, has brought a sense of responsibility to educate myself on the needs and growth processes so that I may be of service and reliable to educate others. I aim to understand the scientific methods, machines and materials used to figure data as well as the nature of the subject itself in order to create quality research.

About my Research Proposal:

Starting off with an idea to figure the diverse species of Phytoplankton in specific locations of the Intracoastal Waterway and understand what those numbers could tell us. I began my research with the question of “What is where and Why”? In longer studies this research could inform officials to possible threats of imbalance in the waterway with specific causes and suggestions on how to combat the potential dangers to the organisms. These potential dangers can be direct or indirect. As Phytoplankton plays a vital role in every life it would seem odd that we do not understand much about them. It is important to understand the ways of these microscopic marine algae, how they work, in what environments, affected by what factors and when. Approaching the issues with Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and understanding the disastrous effects they have South of my proposed research sites it would give guidance to monitor surrounding locations in order to prevent a spread or growth from alike environmental conditions. This cost-efficient research could prevent damage to supported organisms of the Intracoastal Waterway and save the surrounding counties from the devastations of health, investment of time and financial support. 

Thank You for Your Time,

Whitney M. Minnich

Ryan Estes and Alex Moker (Quanta Capstone) - Fall of the Republic: Populist Contributions to the Collapse of Rome and its Modern Parallels

About Us: 

Hello, my name is Ryan Estes and I''ll be finishing my Associate of the Arts degree at Daytona State College this summer. I am a History major with a passion for languages, literature and Aristotelian philsosophy. After obtaining my B.A I intend to pursue a PhD in History and start a career either as a post-secondary instructor or the Civil Service. 

Hello, I am Alexander Moker and I will be finishing my final semester at Daytona State College this coming summer. I intend on completing my computer science degree after transferring. I will continue on and obtain my Master's degree in computer science with a concentration on machine learning and AI. I hope to be able to work in the private sector and become a chief innovator in AI research and would also love to work with charity organizations aimed at helping people return to school. 

A Discussion of Our Research

About our Research Proposal

Populism has had a powerful impact over the past few years in contemporary democracies. With the election of Donald Trump and ascent of parties like UKIP and the Front National in France, no small amount of concern has been raised about where this wave of populism is taking us. Concerns and observations have been made of the dangers of demagogues who have brought down democracies before. However, populism also affected a republic much older than any today: Rome. The last century of the Roman Republic witnessed the rise of populism and eventually culminated with termination of democracy and the imposition of the Empire. Are all democracies that suffer from populism bound to the same fate? Studying Rome between 133 BC to 27 BC we will look at populist movements and figures and answer two questions: firstly, how did populism contribute to the collapse of the Roman Republic? Secondly, in what ways was populism as a causal factor of its collapse comparable to populist movements today?

Ivy Gentry (IMES): Sediment Texture Impact the Temperature?

 A Bit About Me:

               My name is Ivy Gentry. Ever since I was little, I had a dream of being in the science field working with the sea turtle and any other sea life. My passion grew so much more the second I got told that we were moving to Florida from a small town in Tennessee. I knew I had more of a chance in following through with the dream since we would basically have the ocean in my backyard. I have been so excited to do my research project all semester long! It has had its challenges; however, it has been fun, and I cannot wait to see what else Marine Science leads me.

My Senior Year prom 2018

My Research Proposal:

About my Research Proposal:

               Within my research, I wanted to find out how much of the sand’s temperature affects the gender of the sea turtle hatchlings. The sand is the biggest factor in the selection of gender; however, I do believe that there are other factors to the selection. However, in my proposal, I wanted to focus on just the sand temperature, not the other factors. After conducting the research, we placed six probes into the sand at the same depth to get multiple different readings. My main goal with this research is to answer the question that I have had for years on end. The sand is the main effect, but my next research proposal will be to see what other elements affect the sand temperature for the turtles, such as runoff from rain, sprinklers, and other influencers.
