  • Differences in expression of COVID-19 related inflammatory genes in non-human primates with varying alcohol consumption

    Creator:
    Co, Amber
    Abstract:
    Severe cases of COVID-19 have been associated with cytokine storms, leading to widespread inflammation, tissue damage, and organ failure. Pro-inflammatory cytokines have also been shown to play a role in liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease. To investigate alcohol consumption as a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 severity,...

  • The Effect of Zinc Status and Age on Liver Health in Mice

    Creator:
    Braun, Kendra N.
    Abstract:
    Age-related diseases have been associated with chronic inflammation and impaired immune response, one of the hallmarks of aging. Aging individuals also have a higher susceptibility to zinc deficiency. The effects of zinc deficiency share many commonalities with the effects of aging on the immune system and zinc deficiency may be...

  • Investigating the Interplay of Age, Zinc Status, and the Gut Microbiome on Gut Health

    Creator:
    Vasudevan, Anusha
    Abstract:
    Zinc is an important micronutrient involved in many cellular processes, including those part of immune function; however, about 15% of the US population is at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. This can lead to immune system complications including the generation of inflammatory cytokines. Aging is another factor that worsens the...

  • Modifications of Homes for the Comfort of Arthritis Sufferers

    Creator:
    Wenning, Stephanie E.
    Abstract:
    This study explores the awareness of features in homes that could potentially improve the quality of life for those with arthritis. Little research has been published on the subject of home modifications for arthritis sufferers. For this study, several features for the home were identified as potentially helpful in the...

  • Predicting Robotic Grasps Using Surrogate Datasets

    Creator:
    Unrath, Matthew Paul Nishita
    Abstract:
    One of the tasks that continues to prove difficult in robotics is the ability to grasp objects of varying shapes. It is time-consuming to acquire large amounts of real-world data in order to train accurate classifiers that can predict the success or failure of a grasp. To solve this issue,...

  • Alternative approaches to psychosis : qualitative interviews of practitioner opinions and observations

    Creator:
    Donnerberg, Carmen
    Abstract:
    The present essay discusses themes of dehumanization and reliance on a biomedical model of care within U.S. psychiatric systems in treating individuals diagnosed with psychosis. This model is contrasted with alternative treatment approaches that are person-centered rather than disease-centered. These include Open Dialogue, Soteria, and Hearing Voices Movement. In the...

  • Microbial Abundance and Community Analysis in Devil’s Hole, Harrington Sound, Bermuda

    Creator:
    Denman, Carmen C.
    Abstract:
    Microbial activity within elevated CO2 and oxygen depleted environments changes with density driven stratification overturn in the seasonally anoxic region of Devil’s Hole, Bermuda. The temperature gradient developed during the summer months creates a natural laboratory to study bacterial and virus population density and microbial community dynamics in the anoxic...

  • Cancer Cell Detection with Mask R-CNN

    Creator:
    Wong, Ryan
    Abstract:
    Instance segmentation, the classification and localization of objects in an image, is a problem in cellular biophysics due to the physiological relevance of cell morphology. Particularly, cancer cells migrate in tissue space by changing their body shape similarly to how humans extend their limbs to swim through water. Monitoring such...

  • Development of Miniature Wire pH Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring of the Streptococcus Mutans Biofilm

    Creator:
    Wong, Derek C.
    Abstract:
    The interface between a biofilm and the underlying substrate to which it is attached is challenging to study. Currently, available methods of studying this microenvironment have not been able to record data in real-time over a time period in the range of days. To address this challenge, we report the...
