Present methods of determining proper glueline cure are inadequate
in either production or laboratory situations because they
are time consuming and "after the fact". Monitoring the glueline
while the wood composite is still in the press would provide many
advantages over existing methods. Such a system would provide
greater control...
Obstetric fistula is estimated to affect 1–2 million women worldwide, predominantly in low-resource countries in sub-Saharan Africa and southeast Asia. The primary intervention for obstetric fistula is surgery, which is described as a relatively simple surgical procedure with an extremely high psychosocial and economic benefit relative to cost. Research addressing...

Research poster for Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium 2019. Research was conducted with CURE funding in the Perez lab studying cellular senescence in the PS19 mouse model.
Escape from parasites in their native range is one of many mechanisms that can contribute to the success of an invasive
species. Gnathiid isopods are blood-feeding ectoparasites that infest a wide range of fish hosts, mostly in coral reef habitats.
They are ecologically similar to terrestrial ticks, with the ability...
Difficulties have been encountered in gluing some Southeast
Asian woods using phenolic resin. Extractives in veneers from the
trade groups yellow, white, and red meranti (Shorea, Parashorea,
and Pentacme spp. ), keruing (Dipterocarpus spp. ), and kapur
(Dryobalanops spp. ) were suspected to be able to modify resin cure
and...
Background: Legislators and higher education policy makers increasingly are turning to policy initiatives to incentivize institutions of higher education to transform policies and practices in the name of student success, with success typically defined as retention and graduation rates. One such policy receiving increased attention amongst states is outcomes-based funding,...
