Craig, Paul A. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Biochemistry is about structure and function, but it is also about data and this is where computers come in. From my time as a graduate student and post doc, whenever I encountered data I thought, "I can work this up by hand, but I think a computer could do a better job." Since that time, I have been working at the interface of…

Anil Kamat; Basiel Makled; Jack Norfleet; Steven D. Schwaitzberg; Xavier Intes; Suvranu De; Anirban Dutta – npj Science of Learning, 2022
Virtual reality (VR) simulator has emerged as a laparoscopic surgical skill training tool that needs validation using brain--behavior analysis. Therefore, brain network and skilled behavior relationship were evaluated using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) from seven experienced right-handed surgeons and six right-handed medical…

Natalia Spitha; Yujian Zhang; Samuel Pazicni; Sarah A. Fullington; Carla Morais; Amanda Rae Buchberger; Pamela S. Doolittle – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
The Beer-Lambert law is a fundamental relationship in chemistry that helps connect macroscopic experimental observations (i.e., the amount of light exiting a solution sample) to a symbolic model composed of system-level parameters (e.g., concentration values). Despite the wide use of the Beer-Lambert law in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum…

Kaimal, Girija; Carroll-Haskins, Katrina; Topoglu, Yigit; Ramakrishnan, Arun; Arslanbek, Asli; Ayaz, Hasan – Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, 2022
A within-subjects experimental design examined differences in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) assessment of prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation with two virtual reality (VR) drawing conditions (rote tracing and creative self-expression) with and without a fragrance stimulus. Participants were healthy adults and included 18 women, 6…

Dunnagan, Cathi L.; Dannenberg, Devran A.; Cuales, Michael P.; Earnest, Arthur D.; Gurnsey, Richard M.; Gallardo-Williams, Maria T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Using virtual reality (VR) in educational settings is becoming increasingly popular. The feasibility of replacing an instrumentation-based organic chemistry lab with a VR experience has been evaluated. A VR laboratory experience was designed to teach students how to use an infrared spectrometer and elucidate an unknown structure from the resulting…

D'Ambruoso, Gemma D.; Cremeens, Matthew E.; Hendricks, Brett R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Instructional videos have been prepared using Adobe Captivate software to create animated tutorials to capture instrument and molecular modeling software simulations and to allow for increased independent hands-on instrument use by students and faster training for instructors and teaching assistants. The videos are available on YouTube and can be…

Muelleman, Andrew W.; Glaser, Rainer E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Literacy requires reading comprehension, and fostering reading skills is an essential prerequisite to and a synergistic enabler of the development of writing skills. Reading comprehension in the chemical sciences not only consists of the understanding of text but also includes the reading and processing of data tables, schemes, and graphs. Thus,…

Evans, Steven T.; Huang, Xinqun; Cramer, Steven M. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2010
The commercial simulator Aspen Chromatography was employed to study and optimize an important new industrial separation process, weak partitioning chromatography. This case study on antibody purification was implemented in a chromatographic separations course. Parametric simulations were performed to investigate the effect of operating parameters…
