  • The COVID-19 pandemic and food insecurity among college students

    Creator:
    Moore, McKenzie
    Abstract:
    Food insecurity is a common issue among college students in the United States with recent research suggesting that between 10-75% of college students are food insecure. In comparison, an estimated 10.2% of U.S. Households are food insecure. Food insecurity is associated with many negative health outcomes. The purpose of this...

  • Evaluation of Fusarium proliferatum Mycotoxin Profiles in Infected Garlic Cloves

    Creator:
    Rossi, Francesca
    Abstract:
    Fusarium proliferatum is a fungus found in soils which produces the mycotoxin group known as fumonisins. Of human concern due to hepato-, nephro- and neurotoxicity, the threat of fumonisins lies within several food items, including corn, wheat sorghum, asparagus and, more recently, garlic. Manifesting as ““garlic rot”,” F. proliferatum infection...

  • The immunomodulatory role of canine mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles

    Creator:
    Phelps, Shannon M.
    Abstract:
    Immune-mediated diseases are a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in canine patients. Treatments currently involve generalized suppression of the immune system, and corticosteroids are often used as a first-line agent. While often effective, corticosteroids are unlikely to induce remission without substantial side effects. Second-line immunosuppressive agents may be effective...

  • Vertical Structure of the Lower Troposphere in a Changing Arctic

    Creator:
    Watkins, Daniel M.
    Abstract:
    The Arctic climate system is changing dramatically as a response to rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Key indicators of Arctic change include thinning and retreating of Arctic pack ice, thawing permafrost, greening tundra, and rising surface temperatures. The structure of the atmospheric boundary layer influences and is influenced by processes...

  • Beating the curve: insulin sensitization in response to exercise

    Creator:
    Murphy, Michael C.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a brief discussion on the phenomenon of exercise-induced insulin sensitization, including the effects of exercise on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and potential mechanisms mediating these effects. Originally created for KIN 481 (Writing Intensive Curriculum course).

  • Fiction's fatal flaw : misrepresentation of the average scientist

    Creator:
    Basler, Emily
    Abstract:
    Fiction facilitates the attribution of unrealistic character traits to scientists, and skews general understanding of the scientific process-- a fatal flaw resulting in self-doubt within undergraduate scientists, and apprehension and distrust in several communities. Misconceptions and the absence of significant ideas were identified by analyzing novels within the “Lab Lit”...

  • New Foraminifera-Based Proxies to Trace Changes to the Organic and Inorganic Carbon System Since the Last Glacial Maximum

    Creator:
    Fritz-Endres, Theresa
    Abstract:
    The production of carbon and export to deep ocean sediments is linked to carbon partitioning between the ocean and atmosphere and is a key driver of climate change over the glacial-interglacial transition. Yet conflicting reconstructions create barriers to understanding changes to the carbon system over this important climate transition. Production...

  • Enhancing Small Sample Foraminifera Analysis through Innovative Mass Spectrometry Techniques: A Pathway to Deeper Paleoceanographic Insights

    Creator:
    Meyer, Grace
    Abstract:
    Stable oxygen and stable carbon isotopes of foraminifera are widely applied in paleoceanographic reconstructions. Oxygen and carbon isotopes are typically measured using pooled sample analysis (i.e., the combination of several shells) or single-shell analysis (typically restricted to heavier shells that weigh above 10 µg). With pooled sample analysis, where many...

  • Applying the Technology Acceptance Model to Understand the Intention to Use a CS-based Curriculum

    Creator:
    Gupta, Ayushi
    Abstract:
    In the ever-evolving field of computer science (CS) education, the significance of teachers and their backgrounds have often been overshadowed by the predominant focus on students. Teachers in the K-12 often lack the necessary expertise and have limited support provided by existing CS-based curricula. While research on CS education effectiveness...

  • A Study on the Effect of Non-Traditional Demographic Populations in an Undergraduate Computer Science Course

    Creator:
    Kawell, Christopher L.
    Abstract:
    There is a significant amount of research analyzing the effect of race, gender, and other common demographical data on student interest and performance in computer science. However, there is relatively little research concerning less common demographic populations, such as introverts, artistic students, and visual learners. This study investigates if these...
