A Review of Allelopathy of Schinus terebinthifolius: Using published data to inform future research

  • PI Emily Faulconer

    CO-I Zachary Dixon

  • The Brazilian pepper plant (Schinus terebinthifolius) has been identified as an invasive species in multiple geographic regions around the globe. One characteristic that contributes to its invasiveness is allelopathy. This review provides a comprehensive look at the current research on phytotoxicity and cytotoxicity and presents the characterizations of the terpenoid and phenolic allelochemicals provided in previous works. Future areas of research are identified as a result of this review. 

A review to weigh the pros and cons of online science laboratory experiences

  • PI Emily Faulconer

    CO-I Amy Gruss

  • This is a review article that explores traditional and nontraditional labs according to learner outcomes, economic impact, and safety. 
A Simulation Approach to Manpower Planning at Continental Airlines

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • This research relates to the development of a computerized line maintenance simulation model for strategic manpower planning at Continental Airlines for one of their major maintenance stations at Newark airport.
A Simulation Study to Determine Optimal Shipping Strategy

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • The purpose of the project is to develop a simulation that can serve as means for choosing the optimal shipping option based on given criteria.
A Tale of Two Airlines: A Comparative Case Study of High-Road versus Low-Road Strategies in Customer Service and Reputation Management

  • PI John Griffith

    CO-I Donna Roberts

  • This proposal represents an in-depth comparative case study highlighting the differences in marketing strategies, employee relations and customer (internal and external) service models between American low cost carrier Southwest Airlines and European low cost carrier Ryanair. Analysis will focus on the differing brand personalities of the two airlines, particularly with regard to customer service and its relationship to customer satisfaction and overall corporate success from the early days of these organizations through 2013.
A tool for alleviating pilot shortage: Recruitment of women and minorities into aviation

  • PI Rosalee Opengart

  • A global shortfall has been predicted to continue for pilots and aviation professionals, through at least 2030. One way to elevate the recruitment as well as retention of pilots in order to alleviate this problem is to increase the percentages of underrepresented communities, including women. The purpose of this research is to investigate the experience of female pilots and how to decrease the predicted shortage of pilots and aviation professionals by increasing the percentage of women and minorities.
Academic Innovation Research Fellowship Grant: Scaling Up the Academic Integrity Vaccine Toolkit

  • PI Michael Wills

  • Empirical evaluation of class design techniques that empower students to take creative, active, agile ownership of their learning, thus auto‐immunizing against accidental or deliberate academic integrity issues; scalable as a toolkit by other instructors in other disciplines across ERAU
Academic vs. Non-Academic Jobs: Doctorate Recipients' Career Decision and Job Satisfaction in the Areas of Sciences and Engineering

  • PI Dothang Truong

  • Doctorate recipients are known as the primary knowledge producers in society, and hold high-ranking positions in many employment sectors, including education, government, and private industry. As the demand for human workforce with highest degree increases, it is vital to study how doctorate recipients make their career choice and determinants of their work productivity.

Adding Tropical Cyclone Verification Capabilities to the Model Evaluation Tools – Tropical Cyclone (MET-TC) Software

  • PI Daniel Halperin

  • Producing reliable tropical cyclone (TC) genesis forecasts is an operational priority. The National Hurricane Center uses several TC genesis guidance products for their Tropical Weather Outlook. Furthermore, global model output is used in many TC genesis guidance products and is considered an important source of deterministic TC genesis forecast guidance. This project creates a standard framework for verifying deterministic and probabilistic TC genesis forecasts using the TC-Gen tool in the Model Evaluation Tools software package.
