Economics Of Artificial Insemination In Cattle, Marisa Brown, Shelby French, Vijay Subramaniam
2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Artificial insemination (Al) is the collection of semen from a male animal and breeding a female animal with the collected semen. AI has a long renowned history, dating back all the way to 1780, and continues to evolve every day. Artificial insemination allows farmers to inseminate their cattle efficiently, farmers can integrate DNA variation and desired genetics in livestock, and acts as a safe way to impregnate cattle by not having the risk of a live bull being used. It can be observed within multiple studies that when looking at smaller herds it can actually be more cost efficient to …

Comparison Of Nicotine Quantification In E-Liquids Using Volume-Based Sample Preparation Versus Mass-Based Sample Preparation, Serenity Baughman, Alyssa Roark, Emmalou Schmittzehe-Skarbek
2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Questions are surrounding the accuracy of the reported levels of nicotine contained in e-liquids. Many of the studies show significant inconsistencies in the amount of nicotine reported on e-liquid products and the amount detected in the e-liquids. The current methods rely on preparing e-liquids for analysis by performing dilutions based on volume, but due to the viscosity of the liquids this preparation technique is prone to method errors. This project aims to compare the nicotine content in samples prepared by volume to those prepared by mass. This was done by first measuring the densities of several e-liquids. Those densities were …

Lvermectin Toxicity In Border Collies, Rachel Bell, Smita Joshi
2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
lvermectin is used in dogs and cats as a preventive medicine against heartworms. It is also used as a treatment for other parasites. lvermectin can be administered through tablets, topical liquid or injectable liquid. Some dog breeds such as border collies or sheepdogs have a sensitivity to the medication. The only safe heartworm preventive collies can take is Interceptor. But why? This is because lvermectin and other heartworm preventives have the drug Loperamide in them. They put it in there to reduce gastrointestinal secretions. However, some collies and other dog breeds have a MDR1 mutation specifically the gene ABCB1-1delta mutation …

Measuring The Blazhko Effect In Rr Lyrae Variable Stars, Gianna Federico, Jennifer Birriel, Ronald Wilhelm
2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Pulsating variable stars are stars that physically grow and shrink, causing them to periodically change in brightness in the night sky. In most cases, this change occurs very regularly, however some stars exhibit the Blazhko Effect (BE), which causes a gradual increase and decrease in the magnitude and time between brightness peaks. In some stars, this gradual change can itself vary in period and amplitude, which is known as a modulated BE. The cause of the BE is unknown. This research project aims to identify stars with a modulated BE, which may provide clues into its cause. We used the …

Testing Of Multiple Floor Isolated Model Buildings Under Earthquake Conditions, Ryan Justice, Hunter Cook, Tathagata Ray
2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
In the face of earthquakes, occupants of buildings are at risk of injury or death, even with the current gold standard i.e., base isolation for earthquake protection in place. Base isolation separates the superstructure of a building from its foundation using isolators. This allows for the building to rock back and forth independently of the foundation. This is capable of protecting the building from structural damage, but damage to nonstructural components of the building is still very common. This can lead to grave injuries or even death to occupants, especially occupants of hospitals. In the event of an earthquake1 equipment …
Withaferin A And Alzheimer's Disease: A Review, Donovan Justice, Smita Joshi
Withaferin A And Alzheimer's Disease: A Review, Donovan Justice, Smita Joshi
2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the buildup of amyloid-beta (AB) protein in the brain, which disrupts brain function and leads to cognitive decline. Current research focuses on finding ways to reduce AB plaques.
Withaferin A, a compound found in Ashwagandha, a medicinal herb, shows promise as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Studies suggest Withaferin A may target AB, potentially by mechanisms beyond its interaction with acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter important for memory and learning, but it's not the sole focus of current AB-targeting therapies.

Worth Its Weight In Gold: Compassion Fatigue In Kentucky Animal Shelter Workers, Matthew Fitch, Elizabeth Perkins, Suzanne Tallichet
2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Compassion fatigue is a term that describes the physical, emotional, and psychological effect of helping others in times of need. Stressful or traumatic experiences can trigger compassion fatigue, especially after the action of giving care or treatment to something only for it to fail expectations of recovery. Compassion fatigue is often compared to burnout, however, burnout is related to occupational stress and being overworked, while compassion fatigue comes from working with victims of trauma. Animal shelter workers consistently deal with animals who need care or treatment, causing compassion fatigue to become statistically higher in these individuals.
