The Mathematics of Critical Shifts in Ecological Networks with Alternative Stable State Theory, A Potential Framework for Early Warning Indicators

Creator:: Kupperman, Michael D.
Abstract:: A long running problem in mathematical biology is the prediction of extinction events, a specialized case of the larger global stability problem found in differential equations and dynamical systems theory. A central technical question is how to introduce the randomness observed in real ecological systems not accounted for in deterministic...

Klamath County, OR and Youth Suicide: Current Challenges and Hope Through Social Support

Creator:: Aguirre-Burk, Allan M.
Abstract:: Suicide has become a national health crisis over the last twenty years in the U.S as rates have increased 35%. Rates of suicide among rural and youth (10-24 age range) populations have been shown to disproportionately contribute the most to upwards trends though, and this is especially true in Klamath...

Chemistry and Grit: The Impact of Prerequisites vs Perseverance on Academic Success in Biology

Creator:: Sparks, Kiersten E.
Abstract:: Previous research on academic success in biology has focused on the influence of prerequisite knowledge and cognitive ability as measured by course grades or GPA. More recently, the field has considered the influence of non-cognitive factors such as grit, defined as passion and perseverance for long term goals. Both grit...

HIV and the Transmasculine Community – Can Statistical Significance Be Harmful?

Creator:: Harger, Stephen A.
Abstract:: Epidemiological research on HIV/AIDS seeks to determine at-risk populations not reached by current care. In the forty years since the AIDS epidemic began, transgender people were only recently deemed “at-risk” by the CDC and more action was taken to study them. Most current research centers on transgender women, with transgender...

The Dynamic Field of Genetic Counseling and How Students Can Best Prepare Themselves

Creator:: Bauder, Malia V.
Abstract:: Genetic counseling, a healthcare profession centered on communicating genetic information to patients and helping them understand it, has been rapidly evolving with the development of genetic sequencing and editing technology over the past decades. Consequently, future and current genetic counselors must address societal and ethical implications, as well as historical...

Dealing with a Modern Crisis: Physicians and End of Life Care

Creator:: Bowman, Chloe
Abstract:: As medicine in the United States has progressed, physicians have been posed with a unique task of shepherding patients into the end of their life. This research sought to determine the effect this has on physicians in the form of what has been coined “professional grief.” In this, we look...

Effects of Marijuana on Risky Decision-Making in Young Adult College Students

Creator:: Casey, Jorie L.
Abstract:: Marijuana (MJ) is a widely used illicit substance among adolescents and young adults. Frequent MJ use has been associated with impairments in cognitive flexibility and inhibition, both of which play important roles in decision-making. However, the impact of frequent MJ on decision-making performance is mixed and not well understood. The...

Effects of pH and organic solvents on superfolder green fluorescent protein

Creator:: Bravo, Kali J.
Abstract:: There is no shortage of challenges in modern science, including the task of obtaining high resolution images of biomolecular structures, such as proteins. Current atomic-resolution structure determination methods include x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which present issues like protein crystallization and loss of resolution with increasing size. Dr....

Factors of Trust: The Role of Interpersonal Communication and Physical Touch on the Patient-Physician Relationship

Creator:: Trinh, Daniel S.
Abstract:: The physician-patient relationship is one that relies heavily on the premise of trust. In contemporary medicine, trust is difficult to sustain due to the distractions created by technological documentation, rules, an increasing number of patients seen by a fewer physicians that diminish the human interaction within the relationship. To emphasize...

Cannabis and Emotion Processing: A Review of Behavioral, Physiological, and Neural Responses

Creator:: MacKenzie, Alyssa A.
Abstract:: With cannabis use increasing globally, it is important to understand its acute and chronic impacts on human physiology and behavior. It is proposed that cannabis use is linked to impairments in emotion processing, and brain regions that underlie these processes. The purpose of this review paper is to provide the...
