Insulin Administration In Hospitalized Diabetics: A Quality Improvement Project, Annalee Combes, Dylan Fraley, Emily Cobb, Emily Byrd, Tess Reuhermund, Amanda Isele, Kailey Ansell, Mary White

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Insulin, naturally produced in the human body, is used in the treatment of diabetic patients. It is often given incorrectly resulting in a medication error. Around one-third of medication errors resulting in death within 48 hours involve insulin therapy. Insulin is expensive and many patients cannot afford the insulin they need which results in underdosing. Improper administration of insulin was observed during a clinical rotation at a large, urban teaching hospital. There is a need for evidence-based research to identify methods of improved insulin use. A thorough literature review was done on the topic of insulin administration. Common themes that …

Reproductive Cycle Of The Highland Shiner (Notropis Micropteryx) In Rockcastle County, Kentucky, Zoe Baker, Caitlyn Senters, David J. Eisenhour

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

The Highland Shiner, Notropis micropteryx, is a minnow species common in the Green, Cumberland, and Tennessee river drainages and usually inhabits rocky riffles (Eisenhour and Eisenhour 2004). Despite the Highland Shiner's prevalence in this area, little published information exists describing the life history of this minnow species. Although N micropteryx is a small fish, attention must be given to its biology, as changes in its abundance are likely to affect other members of its aquatic community. Population and life cycle fluctuations can also be a reliable indicator of greater ecosystem health.

Predicting The Reactions Of Cs2 ,Ocs, And Co2 With Group Iv And Group Vi Transition Metal Oxides, Marissa Blair, David A. Dixon, Zachary R. Lee

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Overview:

• Electronic structure methods are being used to study the addition of CS2. OCS and CO2 to Group IV (MO2)n and Group VI (MO3)n (n = 1, 2, 3) nanoclusters, beginning with the MO2 and MO3 monomers according to a "bottom-up" approach.

• Physisorption is a process in which molecules bind through Van der Waals interactions. The enthalpies of these reactions are rather low, and these interactions are usually favored at lower temperatures.

• Chemisorption is adsorption in which chemical bonds are broken and/or formed therefore, an entirely new chemical species is formed.

• CS2 OCS and CO2 absorbed …

Growth And Reproduction Of The Popeye Shiner (Notropis Ariommus) In The Rockcastle River, Kentucky, Shelbie Black, Jared Vise, David J. Eisenhour

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

The Popeye Shiner (Notropis ariommus) occupies gravel runs and flowing pools of clear creeks and small rivers throughout the Ohio River basin, but has declined in many areas. The Popeye Shiner is a small silvery minnow with characteristically large eyes (Figure 1). Despite being a candidate for the endangered species list (Department of the Interior, 2011 ), little life-history data have been published, which are needed to make conservation management decisions.

Notropis ariommus is categorized by the American Fisheries Society as a vulnerable minnow species (Warren et al, 2000). These fishes were previously known from Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, but …

Examining The Relationship Between Gender And Anxiety Levels, Lacey Estep, Monica Himes

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Anxiety is a prevalent problem in our society, and it negatively affects many adults in the United States every year. The National Health Survey, which was conducted in 2019, found that 15.6% of adults experienced anxiety symptoms within the past two weeks of when the survey was given (Terlizzi & Villarroel, 2019). That means that approximately 1 in 6 adults aged 18 and over in the United States are experiencing psychological impairment. This large population of adult Americans experiencing anxiety raises the curiosity about the factors that play a role in anxiety, including whether or not gender has an effect …

Miocene Fungi From The Amazonas Region Of Peru: Preliminary Paleoclimatic And Paleoecological Reconstructions, Liberty F. Smallwood, Olivia Vander Espt, Christopher A. Marsh, Maggie E. Alden, Juan Filipe Montenegro, Diana Ochoa, Matthew J. Pound, Jennifer M. K. O’Keefe

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Miocene sediments in the western Amazonas region record a unique mega-wetland ecosystem known as the Pebas System. This system existed under wetter and warmer than present conditions, prior to the final Andean uplift. Though the palynological record in the region has been studied extensively, fungal diversity remains poorly explored. Fungal remains from the Brazilian Amazonas have been identified to form-taxa only, without providing ecological or paleoclimatic information. We examine fossil-rich sediments from northeastern Peru that were deposited ca. 16.5 Ma, and therefore document the Miocene Climate Optimum warming. Here, the Fungi in a Warmer World (FIAWW) team applies the nearest …

Analysis Of The Neurophysiological Responses Of Lumbricina: An Invertebrate Model For Stem Education, Ragan Adkins, Bryce Allen, Michael Fultz

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

The Invertebrates, specifically lumbricina, can serve as a model system for science education when studying neuron viability and the impact of various drugs on conduction velocity within the nervous system. Earthworms prove to be ideal candidates due to their easily stimulated and measurable large axon bundles. Earthworms are also inexpensive, noncontroversial, and easily sedated, making them suitable for STEM learning. Each earthworm underwent a standardized anesthetization procedure with an ethanol and water mixture before being placed on a nerve bath. They were then stimulated by an electrode to gather a control action potential. By measuring the speed at which …

Fungi In A Warmer World: Preliminary Findings On The Zhangpu Biota Of Southeastern China, Margaret Alden, Erdoo Mongol, Limi Mao, Jen O'Keefe

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

The Fungi in a Warmer World Project (FiaWW) is a multi-national project focused on developing a fossil fungal proxy for ecological and climatological change that can then be applied to future forecast behaviors of global fungas (fungal assemblages within an ecosystem). It is focusing on the Miocene Climate Optimum (MCO), 18-13 million years ago, because it is the SSP2-4.5 best-analog for end-21st century warming and Koppen-Geiger climate class distributions (IPCC, 2021; Beck et al., 2023). To develop a robust proxy, fungi are being examined from global MCO sites, including many lagerstatten, such as the Fotan Fm:s Zhangpu Biota, as fossil …
