    Developing Entrepreneurial Mindsets Ideas and Opportunities A Guide for Educators, 2025
    Oral communication skills are essential for entrepreneurs. This exercise has learners use traditional and virtual communication tools to support their social impact entrepreneurial project. The exercise uses an oral communication skills development and competency-based self-evaluation form that evaluates individual performance within a peer group during a brainstorming exercise to generate a project idea. Learners grade their performance on a scale where 0 corresponds to none, 1 to a little, 2 to enough, 3 to a lot, and 4 always. The self-evaluation form, if given in advance of the assessment, increases communication performance.
  • Eco-friendly high-rate formation of silver nanoparticles in agave inulin and its bactericidal effect against Escherichia coli

    A high rate of silver nanoparticle formation, effective against the Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterium, was obtained for the first time by means of a simple, eco-friendly, and low-cost green method in a solution of agave inulin. The study was carried out using the traditional method, in which the effects of the concentration of agave inulin, AgNO3, temperature, and pH on the synthesis were analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Most of the nanoparticles produced were spherical with a size less than 10 nm. In a sample with 20 mg/mL of agave inulin, 1 mM of AgNO3, T = 23°C, and pH = 12, the highest percentage of Ag+ ions available in the solution were reduced for the formation of nanoparticles in less than 40 min, whereas a sample prepared with 60 mg/mL of agave inulin, 10 mM of AgNO3, T = 23°C, pH = 12, and a storage time of 40 min showed a significant bactericidal effect on the E. coli strain. Agave inulin is a good biological compound for the formation of small, spherical silver nanoparticles. A pH of 12 favors a higher production speed of the silver nanoparticles and better use of the available Ag+ ions. In addition to this, the concentration of AgNO3 is a determining factor for increased formation of the nanoparticles necessary to bactericidal effect.

    Proceedings of SPIE the International Society for Optical Engineering, 2015
    In this work we study the venom of two Centruroides scorpion species using Raman spectroscopy. The spectra analysis allows to determine the venoms chemical composition and to establish the main differences and similarities among the species. It is also shown that the use of Principal Component Analysis may help to tell apart between the scorpion species.
