  • Disparities in Organ Allocation Among Patients of Varying Socioeconomic Status

    Creator:
    Kahn, Margo S.
    Abstract:
    Research Objective: Determine if disparities in the allocation of lifesaving organs, specifically the kidney and liver, exist between low and non-low socioeconomic status (SES) groups in the US. Study Design: A literature review will be conducted to examine anticipated inequalities between patients of different SES. Potential causes of the disparity...

  • The one-child policy and the empowerment of Chinese women

    Creator:
    Li, Yi
    Abstract:
    When people talk about the one-child policy in China, it always relates to topics like human rights violations or the population control dilemma. The one-child policy was published in the 1980s, around the same time as the Economic Reform, and these twin policies brought Chinese society tremendous changes. This paper...

  • Leveraging transformer encoder output for effective token summary in simultaneous translation

    Creator:
    Raffel, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous speech-to-text translation remains a difficult yet important problem for modern machine learning models whereby a text translation is generated concurrently with receiving partial speech inputs. One state-of-the-art simultaneous speech-to-text model is the augmented memory transformer whose encoder breaks a speech input into fixed-size overlapping segments composed of left, right,...

  • A Nascent Helix in Dynein Intermediate Chain is Essential for Regulating Dynein/Dynactin Complexes

    Creator:
    Saravanan, Sanjana
    Abstract:
    Cytoplasmic dynein is a motor protein complex found in eukaryotes that is essential to many cellular processes. With dynein being involved in mitosis, axonal transport and organelle transport, disruption of dynein function can lead to neurodegeneration and other diseases. The main function of dynein is transportation of cargo through the...

  • Gold Nanoparticles as Thiophenol Detection Probes

    Creator:
    Pond, Emily
    Abstract:
    The development of simple, rapid, and sensitive methods for thiophenol detection is of great importance in various fields, including environmental monitoring and food quality. Here, we present a novel approach for the colorimetric detection of thiophenols using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the sensing platform. AuNPs aggregate in the presence of...

  • Investigation of MoS2 with Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Dardzinski, Derek P.
    Abstract:
    Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has potential applications as a low-cost catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Defects on MoS2, such as edge sites and sulfur vacancies, are known to be the major active sites for HER. Controlling the formation of these defects allows for the enhancement in reactivity of MoS2...

  • Inhibition of α-Amylase and α-Glucosidase by Bioflavonoids

    Creator:
    Griffith, Anneke M. (Tucker)
    Abstract:
    Various flavonoid-rich plant extracts have shown efficacy in the treatment of diabetes. Although it is often assumed that dietary flavonoids exert biological antioxidant effects, it is possible that the observed effects work in carbohydrate metabolism. In this study we evaluated the effect of catechins and catechin containing extracts on α-amylase...

  • Light quality manipulation for the solvent extraction of phycocyanin from Oregon freshwater cyanobacteria

    Creator:
    Gregor, Katelin
    Abstract:
    Phycocyanin, a photosynthetic pigment-protein complex produced by cyanobacteria, has critical value in the medical field at high purity. Costs associated with the extraction of this pigment are high, emphasizing the importance of optimal growth conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate potential commercial producers of phycocyanin by evaluating...

  • Comparison of Canine Spermatozoa Motility, Morphology, and RNA Integrity Using Three Different Cell Purification Solutions

    Creator:
    Hegedus, Rachel M.
    Abstract:
    Transcriptome gene expression studies of sperm RNA have been utilized in a variety of different species to investigate causes of male infertility. Previous research investigators have optimized cell separation and RNA isolation techniques for each species of interest. To date, no study has been completed for dogs. The objective of...
