MBRS SCORE at CSU Dominguez Hills

描述(由申请人提供)：这份MBRS分数补充申请包括加州州立大学多明格斯山庄分校心理学系主任Diane Henschel博士和化学系主任Hernan L.Martinez博士的一个子项目。Henschel博士的题为“儿童创伤与成年大脑半球不对称之间的关系”的项目是基于她的试点项目的成功，该项目目前是我们MBRS评分计划的一部分。她的项目的目标是确定由于儿童早期创伤，特别是儿童性虐待，大脑左右半球在处理语言信息的方式上是否受到不同的影响。马丁内斯博士的项目，寻找通用的形式主义来描述蜂窝媒体中的传输现象，也是基于他的MBRS评分试点项目。他的项目的目标是利用统计学原理、新颖的几何模型和计算机模拟来研究、表征和数学描述电池中的扩散现象。目前，我们有2个子项目和3个试点项目作为我们的SCORE计划的一部分。将两个试点项目转换为完整的子项目将加强我们的研究基础设施，并将为我们的计划增加两个动态研究实验室。目前，亨舍尔博士和马丁内斯博士是系里仅有的两位拥有外部资助研究项目的教职员工。他们都是我们项目的活力补充，作为教职员工和学生的榜样，两个子项目的增加将进一步推动我们实现MBRS分数目标，即增加CSU多明格斯山庄从事研究的科学教员人数。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This MBRS SCORE supplemental application includes a subproject from Dr. Diane Henschel, Chair, Department of Psychology and Dr. Hernan L. Martinez, Chair, Department of Chemistry at California State University, Dominguez Hills. Dr. Henschel's project entitled "The Relation between Childhood Trauma and Hemispheric Asymmetry in Adulthood" is based on the success of her pilot project that is currently part of our MBRS SCORE Program. The goal of her project is to determine if the right and left hemispheres of the brain are differentially impacted in the way in which they process verbal information as a result of early childhood trauma, specifically, child sexual abuse. Dr. Martinez project, Searching for General Formalisms to Describe Transport Phenomena in Cellular Media, is also based on his MBRS SCORE pilot project. The goal of his project is to study, characterize, and mathematically describe diffusion phenomena in the cell using statistical principles, novel geometrical models, and computer simulations. Presently, we have 2 subprojects and 3 pilot projects as part of our SCORE Program. The conversion of two pilots to full subprojects will strengthen our research infrastructure and will add two dynamic research laboratories to our program. Currently, Drs. Henschel and Martinez are the only faculty members in their departments with externally funded research projects. They are both energetic additions to our program, serve as role models to faculty and students and the addition of two subprojects will further move us toward of MBRS SCORE goal of increasing the number of science faculty engaged in research at CSU Dominguez Hills.
