MEET THE (ZOOM) PARTICIPANTS This mixed methods exploratory study examines the effect of a WMD (World Music Dance) curriculum on the reading fluency of primary elementary children, as well as teacher perceptions of its effectiveness in relation to student-to-curriculum, student-to-student, and student-to-teacher interactions. Notably, there are no previous research articles investigating the connection between WMD and reading fluency, making this study the first of its kind. The study was conducted in a midsized district in the Inland Northwest of the United States. The results of this study may lay the groundwork for future examinations of music as a literacy intervention in schools. The study is significant because education typically maintains funding for content areas with high-stakes tests attached to them, such as mathematics, language arts, and science. In contrast, music achievement and aptitude are not measured on standardized tests, which has led to a decline in funding for music education in many areas. Yet, research has already determined that music provides many benefits, including emotional health, mental health, listening skills, creativity, and cognitive improvements.

This presentation features the case of a traditional French tune quotation in Claude Debussy’s Voiles.

This musical composition is the second piece of the first book of Debussy’s Préludes. One of the staples of an analysis class for college music students, Voiles remains an intriguing piece for researchers. Voiles has been hailed for its luscious whole-scale sonorities and enigmatic nature. Composed in 1909, Voiles soon after became an emblem of a new sound in the post-romantic era, if not one of the heralds of 20th-century music. Thus, Voiles never was regarded as a composition rooted in French traditional music.

This presentation highlights a fresh look at Voiles.

The never-explored, veiled ambiguity of Voiles argues that this important composition was not dissociated from the heritage of French traditional music but reconciled it with the innovative ideas of 20th century music composition.

MEET THE (ZOOM) PARTICIPANTS Nutrient pollution from dairy farms is a critical environmental concern, as excessive nitrogen and phosphorus from manure runoff to waterbodies cause eutrophication, which degrades water quality and harms aquatic life. Ecological regulations, i.e., national pollutant discharge elimination system permits, often mandate appropriate dairy waste management to limit impacts. The use of sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) for simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal offers a sustainable solution to this problem.

It leverages microbial processes such as nitrificationdenitrification and enhanced phosphorous removal to treat dairy wastewater. By systematically controlling these processes in SBRs via optimal operational parameters such as aeration and feeding strategies, it is possible to achieve high levels of nutrient removal, transforming a potential pollutant into a resource and ensuring compliance with stringent discharge regulations. The incorporation of SBRs into existing dairy waste treatment systems is a significant step toward promoting resource conservation and environmental sustainability in the dairy industry.

MEET THE (LIVE) PARTICIPANTS Climate change is increasing wildfires, which release air pollutants like PM2.5. Exposure to wildfire-PM2.5 lowers milk production in dairy cows, affects calf health and metabolism, causes systemic inflammation, and can lead to death. Although systemic responses to wildfire-PM2.5 have been evaluated, the local response within the lung has yet to be described. To assess this, neonatal dairy calves were followed for the first 90-d of life, which aligned with Idaho’s wildfire season.

Samples were collected before, during, and after naturally occurring wildfires. Lung inflammation was visualized using ultrasound. Immune cells were harvested from the blood and lung to assess cellular responses. Wildfire-PM2.5 increased lung inflammation for several days and altered immune cell populations within the lung and blood, indicating cell mobilization to combat inhaled PM2.5. As severe wildfires are expected to persist, mitigating wildfire-PM2.5 health deficits in dairy cattle will assist dairy producers in feeding a growing world population.

Parenting is hard work. It is made even harder by what can sometimes be a conflict of interest between being a good worker and being a good parent. The battle to succeed at maintaining a good work-life balance can place a great amount of pressure and stress on the average U.S. parent. I conducted research this past summer about working parent stress and support in Latah County. I had participants fill out a survey that included questions regarding basic demographics as well as questions about their work schedule, if they felt like they spent enough time with their children, perceived stress, as well as supports they used and supports they wished they had access to. A part of my research found a correlation between higher stress and work-life balance, and factors such as annual income level, number of children in the household, gender of parent, and child health concerns.

MEET THE PARTICIPANTS Intercropping wheat and pea stands as a promising agricultural strategy, maximizing crop and biomass production sustainably. Capitalizing on the biological nitrogen fixation capacity of peas, this study eliminates the need for additional inorganic nitrogen fertilizers. The symbiotic relationship between wheat and pea facilitates efficient nitrogen utilization, fostering robust crop growth and biomass accumulation. Notably, this nitrogen-fixing ability reduces production costs and environmental impact. Additionally, the intercropping system showcases its adaptability to water-scarce environments. Wheat and pea's complementary root structures optimize water usage, compensating for reduced irrigation and enhancing overall water efficiency. This research underscores the viability of wheat-pea intercropping in dry land agriculture, presenting an eco-friendly and economically viable solution. By minimizing nitrogen fertilizer use, conserving water, and maximizing productivity, this approach stands as a sustainable model for agricultural practices, addressing the challenges posed by arid regions Beta-glucan is a water-soluble polysaccharide present in the cell walls of grains such as barley and oats. Having a high beta-glucan content in barley is undesirable for beer brewing as it causes reduced filtration and unwanted beer turbidity. Activated during malting, BetaGlucanase, a vital enzyme in the barley grain, plays a crucial role in breaking down beta-glucans, contributing to an effective brewing process. The main objective of this research is to investigate the variations in malt BetaGlucanase enzyme activity in four barley cultivars grown in five different locations. The interaction of environmental factors with genotypes resulted in significant variations in enzyme activity across the tested genotypes. Notably, the genotype Ac Metcalfe exhibited the highest enzyme activity in nearly all locations, except one. These findings not only support the brewing industry's choice of genotypes that fulfill certain quality parameters in barley but also have broader implications for global agriculture and sustainability.

MEET THE PARTICIPANTS The two species of potato cyst nematodes, Globodera pallida and Globodera rostochiensis, are quarantine pests that damage potato production.

Both species originated in South America and have spread to the major potato growing regions worldwide, including the United States. For G. pallida in Idaho, a containment and eradication program is in place. Efforts to develop G. pallida resistant russet potato varieties are underway, and resistance to the diverse Globodera pathotypes is desirable. Therefore, this study aims to assess the pathotype and virulence of the Globodera species from Peru to evaluate their genetic diversity. The species were identified using multiplex PCR. Results of bioassays using potato varieties/clones with different resistance sources to Globodera species indicate that these populations are

highly diverse and contain more pathotypes and a wider degree of virulence than encompassed by the resistance genes available in the U.S. Currently, we are conducting trials using additional potato clones.

Flexible attendance courses, offering more than one method to attend class, provide students the opportunity and flexibility to tailor educational experiences to the individual needs of students. As flexible attendance has become commonplace, the accurate measurement of student readiness to succeed in such an environment has become a pressing need for both institutions and instructors.

This research set out to measure community college students’ preparation to succeed in a flexible attendance environment where student choice in attendance was a central tenet. The Flexible Attendance and Self-efficacy and Self-regulation Identifier (FASSI) survey was distributed during Spring 2023 to the entire student body of a regional community college in the inland northwestern United States. Part-time enrollment and vocational licensure/certification programs demonstrated significance in this study. The results of this research have the potential to influence instructional designers and instructors and to provide data to institutions to guide program decisions.

MEET THE PARTICIPANTS Aerolysin family proteins are potent bacterial toxins that cause internal hemorrhaging and seizures in eukaryotic hosts. Although primarily used by bacteria to infect eukaryotes, aerolysin’s are also utilized in the immune system of some eukaryotes to defend against bacteria. Through computational modeling, we have uncovered a novel Aerolysin family protein in baker’s and brewer’s yeast. Using microbiology and biochemistry techniques, we have validated our modeling predictions by showing that our protein exhibits the same properties and mechanism as aerolysin family proteins. Humans regularly interact with Baker’s yeast raising the question of if this toxin is being used defensively against other microorganisms or offensively to aid in pathogenicity.

We have preliminary evidence that it is toxic to the insect wax worm implying a role in pathogenicity. In addition, we have found homologs in yeast known to be pathogenic to plants and humans further lending credibility to our protein being used offensively.

This study focuses on the public understanding of geological hazards that may impact those who live in the Skagit and Snohomish counties of Washington State. The importance of this project is to aid community outreach coordinators in producing hazard preparedness materials that can help decrease the public's gap of knowledge regarding geological hazards. Communities in Snohomish and Skagit counties may be impacted by volcanic hazards produced by the most remote and least monitored volcano in Washington State, Glacier Peak. Glacier Peak poses a very high threat to the communities in its hazard zone. Previous work indicates that geologically related household preparedness of the region can be improved on. A public survey was deployed in Darrington, WA and the surrounding areas conducted from June 20 to August 31, 2022. The survey will allow for a baseline of what the community understands about the basic geological settings.

MEET THE PARTICIPANTS I’m designing a more effective and simplified way to collect data in which children with learning disabilities can be assessed and later helped through VR. With the use of VR, we can assess a wider range of information that till now has been difficult to understand and test for. This technology will greatly aid those with learning disabilities as well as open the door to possible use with every child.

The potato cyst nematode (PCN), Globodera pallida is a quarantine pest in Idaho regulated by USDA APHIS. It poses a serious threat to the potato industry and presents major challenges for control.

PCN will not hatch unless exposed to a chemical hatching factor typically from a host plant or related species. Without hatching, it can persist in the soil for decades. Trap crops and crop rotation are sustainable control options, compared to conventional control with fumigant nematicides.

Litchi tomato, Solanum sisymbriifolium has proven to be a highly effective nonhost trap crop, but amongst other drawbacks, is not a valuable crop.

Although not as effective as litchi tomato, quinoa has been shown to cause PCN hatch and has potential as a beneficial trap crop in rotation.

Ultimately, rotations with a resistant potato or litchi tomato are the most effective control strategies.

MEET THE PARTICIPANTS Derived from the thermally treated cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), Cardanol is useful as insecticidal, fungicidal, anti-termite and for medicinal applications.

However, its application to wood protection yet to be reported. Through vacuum treatment, two types of cardanol (saturated and unsaturated) were impregnated into poplar veneer and solid wood samples. Contact angle tests revealed that the saturated cardanol can improve the hydrophobicity of poplar veneer, with around 70-110° contact angle on wood surface. Solid wood samples treated with both saturated and unsaturated cardanol show high mass gain and high leaching resistance. Furthermore, the unsaturated cardanol can also be modified and reacted with other chemicals to fabricate epoxy resin, which might be able to improve the fire performance of solid wood.

Hydrochar from dairy manure has unique morphology, surface properties, and contains valuable macro- and micro-nutrients, including a high phosphorus content, making it a potential organic fertilizer for nutrient cycling as well as soil amendment. This study examined the physiochemical characteristics of dairy manure hydrochar at five processing temperatures. Hydrochar was made from dairy manure using hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) at 195-255 ℃, 60 min processing time, and 10% solid manure content. Elemental analysis, FTIR, SEM, TGA, and ICP were used to evaluate hydrochar. FTIR showed the hydrochar's surface has oxygencontaining functional groups, which help hold moisture and nutrients. The surface area of hydrochar samples ranged from 3.66–6.01 m2 /g. The maximum phosphorus and nitrogen content was 17,333 and 22,600 mg/kg at 255 ℃, while the highest potassium level was 2,467 mg/kg at 180 ℃. This work will increase hydrochar understanding for nutrient cycling and soil improvement, enabling more sustainable and effective agricultural operations.

MEET THE PARTICIPANTS In contemporary computational research, software verification has emerged as a pivotal domain, aiming to show the reliability and predictability of program behaviors. One of the essential techniques in this domain is the weakest precondition (WP) methodology. This method identifies the minimal conditions under which a program, post-execution, meets a specified state or post-condition. While it has been easier to make progress in using the WP method for checking the correctness of computer programs written in high-level languages, we have faced more challenges when applying this method to assembly languages. This gap can largely be attributed to the minute, atomic-level operations characteristic of assembly languages. This research aims to fill the gap by carefully exploring and mapping the use of the WP method in the context of the RISC-V assembly language. To ensure the integrity of low-level code, our goal is to compute the weakest precondition for assembly language, which can be used to verify the correctness of low-level code.

Cobalt is a toxic metal contaminant in wastewater causing health concerns. Performance of a novel continuous liquid phase plasma discharge (CLPD) process was investigated for removal of cobalt from aqueous solution as a green technology. The effects of operating factors of this process were evaluated and the highest removal efficiency of cobalt (93%) was obtained within 25 minutes at a 50 ml/min liquid flow rate and 300 W power. Energy efficiency for cobalt removal under this condition was 27.44 g kW1h-1. Generated hydroxyl and superoxide radicals at the discharge zone were identified as responsible reactive species for cobalt removal. This process not only allowed for the efficient removal of cobalt but also produced cobalt oxides particles with averaged size of 2.75 µm, which can be applied as catalyst. The overall results indicated that the novel CLPD is a robust and highly effective process to remove and recover cobalt from water.

MEET THE PARTICIPANTS Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances are a family of environmentally hazardous compounds.

PFAS have attracted regulatory attention as emerging contaminants worldwide owing to their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and toxicity to animals and humans.

Currently, no successful treatment option is available for destroying PFAS-laden liquid waste streams at full scale. In-depth research using several pioneering technologies, for example, ultrasound, electrooxidation, and non-thermal plasma is under development in this context. The goal of my Ph.D. research project is to optimize the green and efficient non-thermal liquid-phase plasma-based technology for the treatment of PFAS in water. Using novel continuous liquid phase plasma discharge treatment (CLPD), nearly 100% destruction of “legacy” long-chain PFAS is obtained in water.

Imagine a world where instead of relying on new medicines, we tackle the global diabetes epidemic by helping people take charge of their health through simple lifestyle changes. In a study called the U.S. Diabetes Prevention Program, those who lost 5-7% of their body weight through lifestyle changes had a 58% lower chance of getting type 2 diabetes. We ran one-year programs encouraging weight management and physical activity for those at risk of diabetes, using SPSS software to analyze the data. The results discussed that changing lifestyle if can impact obesity and diabetes. Let's reconsider how we approach diabetes prevention and work towards a world where diabetes is rare, not common.

MEET THE PARTICIPANTS Black children are often viewed as older and more responsible than their White counterparts (Epstein et al., 2017). The effect of adultification can be seen in many different domains of life, but especially within the criminal justice system. Studies show that Black boys are sentenced to longer terms than White boys of the same age (Goff et al., 2014).

Using the Elaboration Likelihood Model, I hypothesize higher level processing may disrupt the adultification process, using language that is stereotype in-congruent may increase elaboration and decrease adultification.

The quarantined pest of potato, Globodera pallida, a cyst nematode (PCN), was first found in Idaho in 2006. Since many nematicides have been banned, development of new methods for controlling this nematode are essential for eradication. One control measure is the use of Solanum sisymbriifolium, or litchi tomato (LT) which induces hatch but limits reproduction of PCN. There is evidence that this plant kills PCN through production of toxins. This research has found that these toxins are present in the stems and leaves of LT hexane and butanol extracts, reducing hatch by 49% and 68% respectively. These extracts will be future fractionated with HPLC to determine the chemical compounds responsible for this toxic effect. Once fractionated, their impacts on PCN will be evaluated as well as an analysis of the chemical compounds present. The potential discovery of novel chemistries for nematicide development would be a valuable achievement for Idaho producers.

MEET THE PARTICIPANTS The rate of ice loss from the world’s glaciers is an important driver of ongoing sea level rise. This rate of ice loss depends in large part on how fast glaciers flow downhill, as this transfers ice to lower elevations where it is more vulnerable to melt and iceberg calving. Meanwhile, the factors governing the rate at which glaciers flow downhill remain poorly understood. My thesis centers on assessing the role of liquid water at the base of glaciers in driving ice accelerations. We track water flow below the ice with seismic observations made on S´ıt’ Kus´a, Alaska. S´ıt’ Kus´a is a glacier that undergoes periodic 20-fold increases in ice-flow speed, making it an ideal natural laboratory for understanding unstable ice-flow. We find that water below the ice can contribute to speedups even without disruptions in sub-glacial drainage, suggesting unstable ice-flow could be more prevalent than previously thought.

The temperate rainforest of western North America occupies two distinct disjunct bands. One band occurs along the coast, the other is 300km inland residing in wet regions of the Rockies. Over 100 rainforest adapted plants, animals, and fungi, known as coastal disjunct species, exclusively inhabit both regions. Hypotheses on how coastal disjunct species came to occupy these areas include an ancient separation of a once continuous habitat brought on by the rain shadow from the cascade mountain building event, or the long-distance dispersal of species from the coast into the inland. This presentation focuses on the migration histories of three understory coastal disjunct species using genetic methods: Skunk cabbage (Lysichiton americanus), devils club (Oplopanax horridus), and western wild ginger (Asarum caudatum). Instead of mirroring proposed hypotheses, or even each other’s histories, each species has its own unique migration pattern, with evidence of both ancient separation events and multiple long-distance dispersals.

MEET THE PARTICIPANTS Soil moisture regimes were created as a way to determine the presence of water across time for a given soil agricultural system in the Great Plains.

Despite a classification system based on gradual changes in climate and topography, the system is uniformly adopted across the western mountainous region. Because of the inability to monitor soil moisture variability across western landscapes, vegetative communities are relied on to map soil moisture regimes. Our objectives are to: 1) evaluate soil moisture within the Rocky Mountain region within a Xeric soil moisture regime; 2) test if soil moisture data reflects predicted soil moisture regimes 3) evaluate whether the assigned vegetation communities as currently mapped by region to the Xeric SMR, match the SMR defined by the monitoring data.

UNHCR reports a continuous increase in the numbers of refugees. The refugee population reached 32.5 million as of mid-2022. Palestinian refugees are more than 1.5 million individuals living in 58 recognized Palestine refugee camps. Their camps have lasted for more than 75 years now with the fifth generation to be born into exile. Although camps are intended to be temporary habitats for refugees, the history of current camps teaches us otherwise. This thesis focuses on addressing the persistent challenges faced by refugees in camps.

These challenges encompass unsustainable camp design, excessive reliance on aid, and limited economic opportunities. By examining the application of circular city planning principles, the research aims to achieve long-term sustainability, resilience, and the economic enrichment of refugee camps. What circular city planning will look like in the context of refugee camps? And what are the measurable indicators of such planning in terms of protracted refugee camps?
