An Examination Of Entrainment In Typically Developing Children, Kiersten A. Pope
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Purpose: Conversational entrainment describes the tendency for individuals to align their behavior with their communication partners and is essential for successful interaction.

Development Of An Animal Model For Enterovirus For Evaluation D68 For Screening Of Antiviral Therapies, W. Joseph Evans
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) virus has become more prevalent over the last 15 to 20 years.

There have also been reports of individuals with EV-D68 showing signs of neurological system problems and acute flaccid paralysis. Because of the increase in patients with EV-D68 and also the potential for neurological disease, an animal model is needed to study the disease and to evaluate experimental therapies for EV-D68 infection.
To develop the animal model, 4-week old AG129 mice that lack alpha and beta interferon receptors, making …
