This review investigated the cognitive effects of intergenerational trauma. Through a literature review, 622 articles across two databases were examined using bibliography and literature review software to analyze such effects. Six articles were identified and discussed as well as their implications for future research. The supporting articles demonstrated clear cognitive...
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., and new approaches to control cancer are constantly sought. This dissertation is comprised of two parts: (i) improving the uptake and retention of gadolinium in tumors for potential gadoliniumneutron capture therapy (Gd-NCT) and (ii) integration of gemcitabine or...
Vernier Picket Fence (VPF) offers a method to achieve submillimeter accuracy for aligning the QA phantom to the radiation isocenter without the use of x-ray imaging. VPF tests are read similarly to vernier calipers. The maximum detector signal determines the optimal matching between MLC defined dose strips and detector positions....
This study was undertaken to determine if strontium chloride could be used to create a trans-generational otolith mark in steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss). I completed two strontium injection trials and a survey of juvenile steelhead from various steelhead hatcheries. The two trials measured Sr:Ca ratios in otoliths in response to injections...
