Exploring Novel Contrast Agents with Anthropomorphic Mesh Models in MCNP

Creator:: Garcia, Jacqueline K.
Abstract:: Breast cancer is the leading cancer in women with an estimated 13% of women in the United States developing a form of invasive breast cancer in her lifetime. The survival rate is estimated to be 85%, but the American Cancer Society estimates that early detection of breast cancer in the...

The Relationship Between IGF-1 and Bone Turnover in a Non-Human Primate Model of Voluntary Alcohol Consumption

Creator:: Sattgast, Lara H.
Abstract:: Alcohol is a widely consumed, nonessential, bioactive nutrient with end-organ effects on the skeleton. Moderate levels of alcohol consumption are generally associated with increased bone mineral density (BMD), whereas higher intake levels result in reduced bone formation, bone loss, and increased risk for osteoporotic fracture. Given the negative impact of...

Polyoxoniobates: fundamental solubility trend and their application in solution and on the surface of thin films

Creator:: Rahman, Tasnim
Abstract:: Polyoxometalates (POMs) are anions consisting of three or more early transition metals ™ (Gr V and VI) oxoanions (in their highest oxidation state) linked together by a shared oxygen bond to form a 3D framework. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a rapidly growing class of metal oxo clusters with a wide range...

Western Diet-Induced Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH): The Impact of Time on the Onset and Remission of Disease

Creator:: Spooner, Melinda H.
Abstract:: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by an accumulation of neutral lipids in the form of triglycerides and cholesterol esters accounting for >5% of liver weight. Excess neutral lipids accumulate in large lipid droplets, i.e., macrosteatosis, displacing the nucleus of cells. Current theory suggests neutral lipid accumulation is the...

“I Think I'll Do Good”: Hopeful Future Expectations and Critical Reflection in Oppressed Youth

Creator:: Thogmartin, Asia A.
Abstract:: Critical consciousness (CC) and hopeful future expectations (HFE) are believed to promote positive development in youth who face structural inequalities (Callina et al., 2014; Heberle et al., 2020; Mcwhirter & McWhirter, 2008). Although both CC and HFE hold promise for enhancing the positive development of oppressed youth, gaps in the...

Foster Parent Stress, Formal Support, and Intent to Continue Fostering: Differences Between Kinship and Non-Kinship Foster Caregivers

Creator:: Mullican, Nicole
Abstract:: The number of children entering foster care is rising, making foster parent retention a critical concern. Significant stressors accompany the role of a foster parent, which may be exacerbated by the current context (e.g., COVID-19). Although stress may influence foster parents’ decision to continue fostering, formal social support may act...

Hydrophobicity, Anion Exchange, and Phytoaccumulation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS): Retention and Remediation

Creator:: Parker, Bethany A.
Abstract:: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of contaminants of great concern due to their toxicity and ubiquity in the environment. Remediation efforts historically have focused on granular activated carbon (GAC) because of its low maintenance and relatively low cost. However, GAC is not PFAS selective and is especially...

An Exploration of Climate Change, Conservation, and Cooperation, in Three Essays

Creator:: Johnson, Steven Mana'oakamai
Abstract:: The defining feature of our planet are the oceans, which make up 70% of the Earth’s surface. The importance of the ocean cannot be understated: 50% of oxygen originates from phytoplankton; heat is absorbed and redistributed by ocean currents; and hundreds of millions of people rely on the ocean for...

A Promising Approach for Preventing of Diet-Induced Obesity and Fatty Liver Using Tetrahydroxanthohumol, A Synthetic Derivative of Xanthohumol

Creator:: Zhang, Yang
Abstract:: Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) affect over 1.9 billion adults and 12.7 million youth in the US. If all of today’s obese American youth become obese adults, the total societal costs over their lifetime may exceed $1.1 trillion. We show that feeding rodents a high-fat diet supplemented with xanthohumol (XN)...

Shifting Rural Quantification Towards Study of Health Disparities: Applications in Statistical and Spatial Analysis of Rural Colorectal Cancer

Creator:: Buchalter, Robert Blake
Abstract:: Quantitative measurement of the urban-rural continuum for examination of U.S. rural health disparities is a relatively new research area, where only a handful of studies have investigated health disparities using quantitative rural measures and even fewer have attempted to integrate health variables within said measures. Most U.S. rural health disparity...
