A Proposed Model to Increase the Number of End of Life Conversations Made Between Terminally Ill Patients and Their Primary Care Physicians

Creator:: Duval, Jason Ryan
Abstract:: The objective of this paper is to present an alternative model that can be accepted into our current medical care system that outlines protocols for physicians treating terminally ill patients and that will ultimately increase the number of end of life conversations made between them and their patients. The work...

Early competitive environments differentially influence stress axis responses in sympatric, ecologically similar songbirds

Creator:: Hardt, Braelei M.
Abstract:: 1. Early competitive environments can shape the development of offspring across taxa. For example, competition for food can have downstream effects on offspring phenotypes and fitness; however, little is known about how early competition influences the development of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and its potential tradeoff with growth. Because baseline and...

Water treatment technologies for the developing world

Creator:: Burleson, Grace Ellen
Abstract:: The intent of this report is to provide a brief description of water quality issues in Nicaragua, Uganda and Bangladesh, and the technologies available to address these issues. The water quality parameters considered include: bacterial contamination, heavy metals and arsenic, pesticides and industrious chemicals, turbidity, radiological characteristics, and taste and...

Risk of food insecurity and readiness to change obesity-preventing behaviors in rural families

Creator:: Booth, Carolyn Jean
Abstract:: Purpose: This study examines the relationship between food insecurity (FI) risk and families’ readiness to change obesity-preventing behaviors within rural home-environments. Methods: Families (n=144) were recruited through six elementary schools (K-5/6) in low-income, rural, Oregon communities. Families completed surveys including a FI risk screener and the Family Stage of Change...

Comparative Look at Spectator Identification in Films and Video Games

Creator:: Reiner, Taylor
Abstract:: Often, characters of entertainment works, such as movies, books, or video games, display traits that people find relatable. In certain cases, a spectator of a work will develop such a strong psychological bond with a character that they identify with them. Identification with fictional characters is usually a subconscious act...

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...

PCR-based Sequencing System across Chlamydia trachomatis

Creator:: Roetcisoender, Jake
Abstract:: Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen that affects millions of people worldwide via ocular or reproductive tract infection. Despite obvious differences in site of infection, there has been shown to be high levels of sequence conservation across C. trachomatis. This high level of sequence conservation is hindered with a...

Development of a Bioluminescent Sensor of Isothiocyanates through Genetic Modification of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Validation on Crude Plant Materials

Creator:: Hogaboam, Octavia L.
Abstract:: Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are produced by roots in a variety of agricultural plants, such as those within the Brassicaceae family. ITCs act as fumigants, and are used to control microbial plant pathogens by adding brassica-origin seed meal to soil prior to replanting. However, there is suggestion that the presence of residual...

The Impact of a Socially Assistive Robot on Peer and Toy-Use Interactions During Children’s Free Play

Creator:: Olivares, Eliora
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the viability of a mobile socially assistive robot (SAR) in a children’s free play environment. The researchers hypothesized that the SAR would prompt more movement among the participants. In order to test this, the researchers utilized a matched pair study in which...

jsFLAP: A JavaScript Formal Languages and Automata Package for Computer Science Education

Creator:: Cirioli, Elijah
Abstract:: Visualization and simulation software serves an important role in education, especially in the education of abstract topics. The field of computational theory, and specifically the topics of formal languages and finite automata are well suited to visualization. When done properly, this improves the learning experience for both students and educators....
