A population genetic study of brittle stars was conducted in the Gulf of Mexico to study patterns of gene flow and population structure. Mitochondrial DNA from 85 samples was extracted, amplified, and...

Citrus Greening Disease is an illness caused by a bacterium that renders citrus fruit unmarketable and kills infected citrus trees. Good bacteria in the microbiota of citrus trees may produce an...

This project seeks to characterize the cellular interactions within the tumor microenvironment that lead to polarization of macrophages, away from the tumor-fighting M1 phenotype and towards the tumor...

Sinularia is a genus of soft coral whose species exhibit a spectrum of two complementary methods of defense against predation: sharp spines (physical defense) and cytotoxic compounds (chemical defense...

Evolution by natural selection is foundational in biology, yet decades of science education research have shown that common alternative conceptions often persist after college biology instruction...

Peak ground reaction force (GRF) is one variable that has been studied in the lower extremity to determine the amount of force generated by the drive leg and stride leg of the pitcher. Studies suggest...

This pilot study assesses differences in the knee biomechanics of two fundamental ballet movements of a grand plié and changement. A marker-based motion capture system and force plates were used to...

This project assesses how the mental health of college students has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Students voluntarily participated in a nationally validated survey to evaluate health...

This study examines the relationship between instructor care and learner empowerment, defined as a learner’s motivation to perform tasks because they find the tasks meaningful, feel competent to...

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) encodes a cancer-causing protein, E7, that degrades a known tumor suppressor retinoblastoma (pRb). This project studied the role of polarity in high-risk HPV16 E7...

Bacteriophage λ procapsids as effective drug transporters provide promising means of patient care and treatment within the medical field with implications in targeted drug delivery. The 3D icosahedral...

Canis latrans, or the coyote, is a resilient species whose populations are currently expanding into Central America potentially creating harmful repercussions for local wildlife. The increasing...

The ELOVL4 enzyme is required to generate very long-chain fatty acids with structural and functional importance in the retina. Genetic defects in ELOVL4 are responsible for Stargardt’s disease...

In the COVID-19 pandemic many students faced social isolation, online schooling, and stressful experiences that led to new highs in depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and loneliness. This study...

Nitrogen-metallocyclic carbenes (NMCs) are a new class of molecules to be studied in recent years that provide the capacity to be used in the development of new electronic materials or catalysts. My...

With the fast-paced evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria around the globe comes the emergence of novel genes which confer these resistances, usually located on supplemental DNA known as plasmids...

This project studied how the women in the Imperial Ottoman Harem during the reign of Sueliman I were portrayed in the modern Turkish television series 'Magnificent Century.' The series contained three...

Bacteriophage Lambda is a complex virus containing a capsule-like structure known as a procapsid. In a lab setting, plasmids are used to synthesize these structures, but previous experimentation has...

Research on higher education in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is virtually absent (Zavale & Schneijderberg, 2020). Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs are being...

The current project was focused on distance running performance, investigating different factors that affect it. The main focus was on neuromuscular capacity and certain muscle power factors. The...

Hannibal Bank is a biodiversity hotspot off the Pacific coast of Panama. Using the AUV SeaBED, 12 photo-transects of the seafloor systematically captured over 21,712 images during a research cruise in...

This study was intended to quantify the benefits group exercise therapy has on the motor functions and psychological aspects of a person living with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the neuromuscular...

Overtraining is directly linked to the imbalance in athletics between recovery and stress. Both overreaching and overtraining cause a variety of symptoms such as psychological, hormonal, physical, and...

Patellar instability (PI) is a pathology of the patellofemoral joint(PFJ), which consists of the articulation between the patella and the distal femur. It commonly results in recurrent subluxations...
