Understanding Sleep Quality And Waking Cervico-Thoracic Symptoms, Susan J. Gordon, Karen A. Grimmer, Patricia Trott
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Purpose: Using data from an epidemiological study described elsewhere (Gordon et al 2002 & 2007), multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to explore the association between sleep position, factors related to sleep quality, and the prevalence of waking symptoms (cervical spine pain and stiffness, headache, and aching in scapulae or arm regions). Method: A causal model was developed in which putative exposures were tested for their association with sleep quality, which was considered as an antecedent cause of waking cervico-thoracic symptoms. Results: Factors which significantly constrained sleep quality were identified as the presence of a medical condition, past history of …
Evaluation Of The Effect Of Two Exercise Regimes In Producing Forces On Anterior Cruciate Ligaments: A Systematic Review, Carla Van Usen, Barbara Pumberger
Evaluation Of The Effect Of Two Exercise Regimes In Producing Forces On Anterior Cruciate Ligaments: A Systematic Review, Carla Van Usen, Barbara Pumberger
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common. A goal of rehabilitation is to restore functional capacity. Currently, there are contrary opinions regarding the effectiveness of using either closed or open kinetic chain exercises (CKC, OKC) only, or a combination of both, following ACL injury, to obtain the most effective outcome. The debate also reflects the approach which places the least force on the ACL itself. Objective: To identify the evidence of effectiveness of closed versus open kinetic chain exercises, or a combination of both, in anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation. Methods: A systematic review was undertaken of experimental studies published …

Cranberries: The Use Of A Naturally Occurring Compound To Fight Against Periodontopathogens, Debbie L. Darius
Cranberries: The Use Of A Naturally Occurring Compound To Fight Against Periodontopathogens, Debbie L. Darius
Undergraduate Student Symposium
This literature review focuses on the use of a naturally occurring compound found in cranberries (proanthocyanidins) to fight against periodontopathogens and thus the development of periodontal disease. Periodontopathogens and their invasion in gingival tissues and periodontium is the usual cause of periodontitis. Oral microorganisms coaggregate to become major bacterial complexes, allowing their proteases to digest similar components of the gingival crevicular fluid located in subgingival sites. The most common microbe associated with this disease is P. gingivalis where its proteolytic enzymes gingipains and dipeptidyl peptidases IV break down collagen and create large supplements of iron for the bacteria. However, recent …

Utilization Of Passive Acoustic Tracking To Determine Artificial Habitat Use And Movement Of Nurse Sharks, Ginglymostoma Cirratum, Michael Palozzola
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The ecological characteristics of many cryptic and evasive marine vertebrates, such as sharks, are widely unknown, largely, due to the inability to efficiently monitor and track them over extended periods of time. Recent advances in ultrasonic acoustic telemetry now allow scientists to collect data on these highly elusive predators more efficiently then ever before. Marine animals, such as the nurse shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum, have been observed at artificial reefs, such as sunken vessels, but how long they spend at or near these habitats is unknown. This research aims to determine the habitat use of the nurse shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum …
The Synthesis Of Building Blocks For Metal-Organic Frameworks (Mof): Potential For Gaseous Fuel Storage, Richard C. Wheeler
The Synthesis Of Building Blocks For Metal-Organic Frameworks (Mof): Potential For Gaseous Fuel Storage, Richard C. Wheeler
Undergraduate Student Symposium
There is currently considerable interest in the use of hydrogen as an energy transport medium. While hydrogen provides clean combustion, storage and transport raises complex engineering challenges, resulting in potentially expensive design restraints. Current research indicates that transition metal complexes of mononucleating ligands, such as 1,3-bis(pyridylimino)benz(f)isoindoline (NBAII), spontaneously form uniform channels in the crystalline matrix that may be suitable for hydrogen storage. Furthermore, the alteration of the ligand substituents may yield the ability to tailor the shape and size of the crystalline channel to optimize the geometric configuration. Specifically, the x-ray crystallography of the divalent copper complex of NBAII indicates …
The Effects Of Academic Stress On Immune Functioning, Maureen Green, Lara Murphy
The Effects Of Academic Stress On Immune Functioning, Maureen Green, Lara Murphy
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Stress associated with academic examinations is thought to cause immunosuppression in students. However, it is currently unclear whether the immunosupression associated with academic pressure is related to increases in the stress hormone, cortisol. Indeed, it is possible that factors independent of cortisol may control the emotional and immune response. In the current study, we were interested in untangling the complex relationship between academic stress and immunusupression through comparing both subjective and objective measures of academic stress and immune functioning. Students were assessed before, during, and after an academic examination period. During each assessment, self-reported subjective reports of stress were collected …

The Effect Of Dimethyl Sulfoxide (Dmso) On The Growth Of A2780 Cancer Cell Line, Fatima Nassriyeh, Terry-Ann Dawes, Sarah Siddiqui
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a by-product of the wood industry, has been in used as a commercial solvent since 1953. It is also one of the most used but least understood pharmaceutical agents of our time. In the United States, DMSO has Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval only for use as a preservative of organs for transplant. In the research laboratories DMSO is commonly used as a vehicle to solubilize and water insoluble drugs and to increase the membrane permeability of drugs during in vitrotreatments. In cell culture laboratories DMSO is also used as a cryoprotectant to help protect the …
Post-Absurdism: Ionesco And The Juxtaposition Of Absurdism And Postmodernism, Elizabeth B. Harbaugh
Post-Absurdism: Ionesco And The Juxtaposition Of Absurdism And Postmodernism, Elizabeth B. Harbaugh
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The purpose of this paper is to situate Eugène Ionesco’s dramatic works within an historical, literary, and theoretical framework. By examining the influences of both absurdism and postmodernism on Eugène Ionesco’s work, we can discern specific cultural and philosophical issues concerning Europeans, artists, and the general world population following the Second World War. Eugène Ionesco’s works are ultimately extremely historically and theatrically significant and worthy of study, despite a contemporary distance from absurdism as a worthy field of study.
Molecular Chaperones And Parasites, Andrew Deonarine
Molecular Chaperones And Parasites, Andrew Deonarine
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Molecular chaperones and chaperonins are proteins found in all living organisms from the prokaryotic bacteria all the way to the eukaryotic human. These proteins serve to play several important roles within the cell. The tasks vary from assisting directly or indirectly in the folding of nascent proteins produced by the ribosome, repairing heat damaged proteins, involvement in cell signaling, and cell differentiation. Many of these proteins are inducible in response to heat. Therefore they became known as heat shock proteins (Hsp). Proteins are absolutely vital in any cell. They serve specific structural and functional roles to enable cellular life. Currently, …

Dissonant Composition: Gender Inequalities In Music, Greg Kyriakakis
Dissonant Composition: Gender Inequalities In Music, Greg Kyriakakis
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Gender constructions are inescapable in society; it is therefore understandable that inequities have permeated the realm of classical and popular music. From the types of instruments young children decide to study to the composition of modern rock bands, gender roles and expectations have helped shape the state of music. Women who further their study in music predominantly learn from the works of male artists, influencing the female musicians’ style while crippling personal creativity. Even the body of the performer plays a role in the type of instrument studied; female vocalists rely on their body to produce sound while male musicians …
Comparing Nuclear Fission And Nuclear Fusion As An Alternative Source Of Energy, Natasha Antonovich, Michael Ratliff, Neeketa Sheth
Comparing Nuclear Fission And Nuclear Fusion As An Alternative Source Of Energy, Natasha Antonovich, Michael Ratliff, Neeketa Sheth
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The purpose of this research project was to explore alternate nuclear energy sources. The nuclear energy sources that were examined were fission and fusion. From the research that was done, pros and cons were found for each type of nuclear energy. Fission, being an established technology for energy, posed an economical advantage; however, the waste that is given off from these reactions is a great environmental detriment. Fusion reactors are newer nuclear energy sources, thus they are more costly, but their lack of radioactive waste gives fusion an environmental advantage. Given that both reactions have positive and negative sides to …
Attraction On The Basis Of Relationship Status, Laxmi Lalwani, Luciana Ortiz
Attraction On The Basis Of Relationship Status, Laxmi Lalwani, Luciana Ortiz
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Research has shown that the criteria women use to evaluate men’s attractiveness shift across the menstrual cycle (Gangestad & Thornhill, 1998). For example, when women are in the fertile phase of their cycle, they report greater attraction to men who display high intrasexual competitiveness (Gangestad, Simpson, Cousins, Garver-Apgar, & Christensen, 2004). We propose to examine female college students’ attraction to men based on the phase of their cycle and the men’s relationship status. In a between- participants design, female college students will either be told that a male confederate is single or in a relationship. We will then ask the …

Using Various Visual Census Techniques To Assess Fish Assemblages On Nearshore Habitats Off Lantana Beach, Florida, Tandace Burkhart, Kaela Perez, Michael Palozzola, Jillian Maffucci
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The nearshore environment off southern Palm Beach County is characterized by extensive areas of hardbottom, primarily composed of limestone beachrock and Sabellarid worm reefs. These substrates are located very close to shore in the surf zone, an area of high wave action, and provide habitat to a wide variety of fish species. These habitats are ephemeral and cycle through burial and exposure events over time due to shifting sand from nearby beach renourishment projects. One goal of this study is to determine the species composition and abundance of this fish assemblage using various visual census techniques. We will be trained …

Forearm Injury In A Female Collegiate Rower: Case Study, Priscilla Rashida Dobbs
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The topic of this project is to examine a forearm injury sustained by a female collegiate rower. The final diagnosis, based on MRI and X-ray testing, was Left Forearm Pain with a Grade I Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Strain, though initial signs and symptoms led the sports medicine team to suspect more serious injuries. The athlete received conservative treatment and rehabilitation exercises were initiated, aimed at restoring full strength and function. The certified athletic trainer and athletic training student observed a “mass” over the anterior forearm during the initial evaluation. The defect was more prominent with wrist and finger flexion; however, …
Effect Of Ginkgo Biloba On Short-Term Memory, Tommy Gaertner
Effect Of Ginkgo Biloba On Short-Term Memory, Tommy Gaertner
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Ginkgo biloba has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine to improve vascular and cognitive functioning. Ginkgo biloba is widely prescribed for the prevention and treatment of dementia in Europe. In addition to having a direct effect on cognitive functions of live laboratory mice, the extract of Ginkgo biloba also increases production of a neurological chemical responsible for enhancing cognitive performance. However, many scientists have pointed out these results are based upon limited research and have expressed the need for additional studies. This study will investigate short-term effects of Ginkgo biloba on healthy individuals. If Ginkgo biloba …
Effects Of Newly Developed Anticancer Drugs Against Gi101aluc Mammary Tumor Implanted In Athymic Nude Mice, Ambreen F. Parvez, Frantz Etienne
Effects Of Newly Developed Anticancer Drugs Against Gi101aluc Mammary Tumor Implanted In Athymic Nude Mice, Ambreen F. Parvez, Frantz Etienne
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The purpose of this research is screening anti-cancer drugs using tumor bearing animals. To achieve this, we used a mammary tumor cell line GI-101A that was developed from a metastatic breast tumor xenograft. The GI-101A cell line had been previously transfected to express the luciferase gene (GI-101Aluc). Luciferase expression in the tumor cells enables the imaging of tumors in a molecular imager rather than performing surgery. For drug screening analysis, twenty-four athymic nude mice were implanted subcutaneously with GI-101Aluc cells. The animals were rested for 3 weeks after implantation for establishing tumor growth. During this period their weight and tumor …
Effect Of Professional Sports On Local Economies, Jordan Smith, Wael Sankar
Effect Of Professional Sports On Local Economies, Jordan Smith, Wael Sankar
Undergraduate Student Symposium
In today’s world economy there are several factors affecting local economies. One major social interest is sport. Owners of major league sports teams have agreed that the buildings of new facilities are a necessity if a team is to remain financially viable, and competitive. New arenas and ball parks have sprung up around the country funded in some part by public dollars. Subsidizing stadiums is the idea of a local government taking taxes from local citizens to help to pay for the facilities. The belief that subsidizing stadiums helps in supporting other businesses in the surrounding areas, has made these …
Detecting Deception From Thin Slice Communications, Carla Perna, Alisha Van Hoose
Detecting Deception From Thin Slice Communications, Carla Perna, Alisha Van Hoose
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Research suggests that people are not very skilled at detecting deception from ordinary communications (Vrij, 2000). A recent meta-analysis (Bond & DePaulo, 2006) indicated that the average accuracy in discriminating a truthful from a deceptive statement was 54%, when chance is 50%. Another line of research has shown that people are able to make remarkably accurate inferences from very brief exposures (or “thin slices”) of nonverbal behavior (Ambady & Rosenthal, 1993; Willis & Todorov, 2006). We propose that the ability to detect deception may actually be greater when people observe thin slices communications rather than longer communications. In a within- …
