Abstract

Type II diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases today; one effect of the increase in diagnoses being the rising price of insulin as a common treatment. This study investigated if exposure to raw soybean powder, a cheap yet strong antioxidant with abilities to reduce oxidative stress, could in... Read More

The Ultrasonic Technology Assisted Communicative Tactile Surgical System (UTACTSS) provides novel tactile feedback, characterized by an ultrasound reading and tactile sensation on the surgeon’s fingertips, using piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) and incorporates a pree...

This project presents a novel method for real-time air quality monitoring using a low-cost, modular sensor system designed for future drone integration. Traditional monitoring stations are expensive, stationary, and lack spatial resolution, while most portable systems offer limited accuracy or predi... Read More

Throughout this experiment, specific sites and mutations on pol delta were observed to determine which would have the greatest effects on the final polymerase molecule. Ideally, these changes would positively impact DNA replication. For the physical plant science laboratory component, folic acid (a ... Read More

This study aimed to investigate the impact of Phoenix dactylifera (dates) on the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Drosophila melanogaster. AD is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder that causes memory loss. It is hypothesized that incorporating dates into the diet of genetically mo... Read More

It is crucial to investigate the mechanism in how exactly IL-17Ra signaling is affecting the differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells. To do this, Pdgfra mediated secretion of factors such as Wnt ligand and r-spondins need to be analyzed. These factors are required for intestinal epithelial ce... Read More

This study evaluates the 2024 Barbie Fashionista Collection through the lens of intersectionality, using enablers from the United Nations' Intersectionality Resource Guide and Toolkit as a benchmark. With Barbie’s increasing emphasis on diversity and inclusion, this research aims to assess... Read More

The hardware to produce the magnetic fields was left over from previous development on the model. Thus, our primary concern in the making of a multi-Bloch sphere model was in the following objectives: Firstly, I wanted to produce a means by which multiple Bloch Spheres could be put into a single net...

Heatwaves, locally defined as having at least three consecutive days with temperatures exceeding 90 °F, pose a significant and growing risk to public health in New York City (NYC), particularly as climate change intensifies their frequency and severity. Rising global temperatures have led to mor... Read More

The research studies how advertising developed into a practice which unites strategic communication methods with artistic creativity. The paper shows how advertising evolved from basic trade symbols in ancient times through modern digital marketing by showing how advertisers evolved from basic image... Read More

This study investigated the impact of polyethylene microplastics on the growth, root length, and chlorophyll-a content of Lemna minor (duckweed) while evaluating its potential as a phytoremediation tool to address microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Microplastics, prevalent in the environm... Read More

Currently, activated charcoal is used to remediate heavy metals from water, but it can be expensive. Alternatives such as rice husk-derived biochar can be used as a cost-efficient method of remediating heavy metals. This study aimed to determine the most effective particle sizes (0.149, 0.42, 0.85 m... Read More

Primary care physicians routinely calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) to assess health risks, but BMI is widely criticized for its inaccuracy and lack of inclusivity—particularly in accounting for racial and gender differences in body composition. These limitations contribute to health disparities... Read More

Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s Disease. This number is expected to rise in the future. Oregano is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. This means reducing inflammation in the body, such as muscles, nerves, etc. Two compounds in oregano were evaluated for their sp... Read More

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurological disorder that af fects the nerve cells in the brain (1). An atomically guided PET reconstruction (AGR) has been a promising method to improve the quality of amyloid PET images (6,7). While previous studies investigated the AGR method on PET ima...

TCyberchondria is defined as the obsessive usage of the internet to research health symptoms, often leading to increased health anxiety. (1,2) Additionally, there exists little research between cyber chondria and self-esteem, two constructs that share associations to other conditions such as obsessi... Read More

Psychotherapists in training lack a standardized and formalized method of patient interaction for the proper development of empathy, communication, and experience. Currently, the experience of a resident may include training with other residents where one patient acts as the patient and one the psyc... Read More

In 2022, 148.65 billion dollars were spent on wound care in the US. Wound healing is facilitated by cell regeneration and proliferation. Scientists use planaria to study regeneration. Planaria is a flatworm with the ability to grow its body back from small body parts. Arachidonic acid (AA) is a poly... Read More

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a vital diagnostic tool used by radiologists, and image quality is heavily dependent on the performance of radiofrequency (RF) coils. RF coils are important components of MRI scanners as they influence signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which is crucial for high-quality... Read More

The peak hurricane season in August and September demands immediate monitoring and response planning to minimize environmental destruction and protect communities. The protection of communities from powerful storms requires ongoing data analysis and improved infrastructure and public education progr... Read More
