The Relationship Between Covid-19 Social Distancing And Feelings Of Anxiety And Depression In The United States, Rahul Gorijavolu

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 has included mandatory curfews, quarantine, and social distancing policies enacted by government officials across the United States. These changes can result in feelings of loneliness, fear, and isolation. Healthcare workers and individuals with a history of psychiatric illness are more likely to develop anxiety and PTSD during quarantine due to COVID-19 (Brooks, 2020). Research conducted during the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak of 2015 found that people forced to quarantine experienced increased anxiety and feelings of anger, which subsequently decreased four to six months after the period of isolation ended (Jeong, 2016). …

Understanding Metabolic Activity During The Inoculum Effect, Kavish Patel, Vijay Patel, David Singh, Abhishek Venkataramnan Apr 2021

Understanding Metabolic Activity During The Inoculum Effect, Kavish Patel, Vijay Patel, David Singh, Abhishek Venkataramnan

Undergraduate Student Symposium

With the post antibiotic era upon us, new techniques are required to treat bacterial infections. While the mechanisms of acquired resistance to antibiotics are well studied, mechanisms by which bacteria can resist antibiotics in the absence of acquired resistance are less studied. This is called phenotypic resistance. One form of phenotypic resistance is the inoculum effect (IE) where the initial density of a bacterial population determines the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic. Given recent findings showing that the metabolic rate of bacteria determines its susceptibility to antibiotics, we sought to understand how changes to metabolism and growth determined …

Utilitarian Perspective On Genetic Enhancement, Varun Kota Apr 2021

Utilitarian Perspective On Genetic Enhancement, Varun Kota

Undergraduate Student Symposium

The invention of CRISPR-CAS9 allows one to edit the genome easily. As a result, many are excited by the potential breakthroughs in medical applications. Others worry that the development of this technology will lead to genetic enhancement, the modification of a set of genes toward a non-therapeutic end goal. After reviewing the philosophical and ethical literature regarding genetic enhancement it became apparent that there was a lack of specificity. Often, the arguments portrayed genetic enhancement as a fantastical process. In reality, the effects of genetic enhancement are far tamer. The folly in these discussions lies in the notion that traits …

Improving Health Communication About Recognizing Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Associated With Down Syndrome, Mahima Dave

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Down syndrome (DS) is the most prevalent chromosomal disorder in which an extra copy of chromosome 21 disrupts the development of intellectual abilities. Every year, 6,000 babies in the United States are born with DS, which is approximately 1 in every 700 babies (Aagarwal et al., 2019). Their unique physical manifestations place them at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition in which repeated blockage of the upper airway causes difficulty breathing during sleep (Olson et al., 2011). Nearly 80% of children with DS are afflicted with OSA compared to only 2-5% of the general pediatric population (Chamseddin …

Forces Affecting Genital Morphology Of Eastern Mosquitofish In The Everglades, Dyane Oliva, Rose Leeger, Caila Guzman Nunez Apr 2021

Forces Affecting Genital Morphology Of Eastern Mosquitofish In The Everglades, Dyane Oliva, Rose Leeger, Caila Guzman Nunez

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Eastern Mosquitofish are abundant fish in the Everglades. Some of their populations make annual, long distance migrations into temporary wetlands that dry out every year. Past work indicates differences in migration ability among fish from wetlands of different hydroperiod. Eastern Mosquitofish internally fertilize with a modified fin that acts as a penis-like “gonopodium,” which has been shown in other mosquitofish species to respond to the presence or absence of predators via altered size and shape. Data collected in 2019 reveals variation in gonopodium size and shape for Eastern Mosquitofish in Everglades wetlands that dry annually when compared to those from …

Protonation Of Methyl Phenyl Porphyrin Isomers Using Uv Spectroscopy, Mamiko Swanson, Isabel De Angelis, Harsh Chheda, Rushi Patel, Raahil Shah, Shreya Patel, Maria Ballester Ph.D. Apr 2021

Protonation Of Methyl Phenyl Porphyrin Isomers Using Uv Spectroscopy, Mamiko Swanson, Isabel De Angelis, Harsh Chheda, Rushi Patel, Raahil Shah, Shreya Patel, Maria Ballester Ph.D.

Chemistry and Physics Faculty Proceedings, Presentations, Speeches, Lectures

The protonation of methyl phenyl porphyrin isomers was studied through UV vis spectroscopy using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a strong organic acid. Protonation was achieved by titration of the porphyrin in toluene and toluene/methanol (90:10). A wavelength shift from the free base Soret to the protonated Soret confirms the formation of the dication. The resulting UV spectra was used to calculate an apparent pKa value of each free base porphyrin isomer. Addition of methanol to the porphyrin solution decreased the average pKa values of the Soret and Q-bands for each porphyrin. This could be an indication of a stabilizing monocation, not …
