Calcium ions (Ca2+) are essential second messengers intimately implicated in a variety of biological processes, ranging from short-term events such as muscle contraction to long-term effects like gene expression. Dysregulated Ca2+ signaling can disrupt cellular function and contribute to the development of various human diseases, including developmental, neurological, immunoinflammatory, metabolic, and cardiovascular disorders. To study the mechanisms and biological consequences of Ca2+ signaling, optogenetic approaches have proven invaluable, as they offer exceptional spatiotemporal resolution compared to traditional methods. Recent progress in non-opsin-based optogenetics, particularly those engineered from Ca2+ release–activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels, has substantially advanced our understanding of Ca2+ signaling …

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that fails to respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) can be lethal. Developing effective strategies to eradicate chemoresistant disease requires experimental models that recapitulate the heterogeneity characteristic of TNBC. To that end, we established a biobank of 92 orthotopic patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of TNBC from the tumors of 75 patients enrolled in the ARTEMIS clinical trial (NCT02276443), including 12 longitudinal sets generated from serial patient biopsies collected throughout NACT treatment and from metastatic disease. Models were established from both chemosensitive and chemoresistant tumors, and nearly 30% of the PDX models were capable of metastasizing …

Exploring Runtime Evolution In Android: A Cross-Version Analysis And Its Implications For Memory Forensics., Babangida Bappah
LSU Master's Theses
Userland memory forensics has become a critical component of smartphone investigations and incident response, enabling the recovery of volatile evidence such as deleted messages from end-to-end encrypted apps and cryptocurrency transactions. However, these forensics tools, particularly on Android, face significant challenges in adapting to different versions and maintaining reliability over time due to the constant evolution of low-level structures critical for evidence recovery and reconstruction. Structural changes, ranging from simple offset modifications to complete architectural redesigns, pose substantial maintenance and adaptability issues for forensic tools that rely on precise structure interpretation. Thus, this paper presents the first systematic study of …

Seeing What Matters: Safety-Critical Semantic Segmentation Via Transfer Learning On Construction Sites, Obiora J. Odugu
LSU Master's Theses
Autonomous robots are increasingly deployed on construction sites for tasks such as progress monitoring, inspection, and safety assessment. For these robots to operate effectively, they must perceive and interpret complex, dynamic environments populated by workers, machinery, and unstructured terrain. Achieving reliable perception depends on high performing semantic segmentation models trained on large volumes of annotated data—an expensive and logistically challenging requirement in construction due to privacy restrictions, variable site access, and slow digitalization. This research addresses the challenge of limited labeled data by investigating transfer learning as a label-efficient approach for construction-site segmentation. Specifically, it explores whether road construction imagery—abundant …
The Case For “Constructive Gridlock” In Independent Agencies, Jeffrey Manns
The Case For “Constructive Gridlock” In Independent Agencies, Jeffrey Manns
Texas A&M Law Review
Critics of President Trump have alleged that he has reduced independent agencies to mere extensions of the executive branch during his second term. The reality is that Democratic and Republican presidents routinely leverage the opportunity to reshape independent agencies in openly partisan ways because presidents have majority control of the appointments for the leadership of virtu ally all agencies. I examine a large data set of independent agency votes from the Obama and first Trump terms to show that independent agency commissioners vote in predictably partisan ways when addressing substantive policy changes. The partisan design of independent agencies undercuts agency …

That Old College Try: Judge-Made Monopolies In The Market For Affinity Goods, John A. Rothchild
Texas A&M Law Review
There is a large market for goods such as t-shirts, coffee mugs, posters, and baseball caps that are emblazoned with the names and symbols of culturally prominent institutions—universities, athletic teams, musical bands, automobile brands. We buy, wear, and display those goods to express our affinity with the referenced institution. The owners of the trade symbols that adorn these items, which this Article refers to as “affinity goods,” jealously guard what they claim is their sole right, under the trademark laws, to authorize the use of their symbols as decoration. They have brought numerous lawsuits aimed at establishing and enforcing this …

Synthetic turf enhances sports participation through durability, high usage, and low maintenance, but some systems increase the risk of skin abrasions compared to natural grass. This study presents the SLIDE - a portable, cost-effective device that replicates skin-surface interactions and applies the Maxwell Tribo Index (MTI) to quantify skin injury risk per surface. The initial prototype achieved target velocities and pressures, supporting its relevance for on-site testing. Ongoing validation aims to establish correlation between SLIDE and SID outputs across a representative range of MTI values.

The Effect Of Baseball Bat Diameter On Batted Ball, Hirotaka Nakashima
ISBS Proceedings Archive
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of bat diameter on the batted ball characteristics in baseball. A custom-made bat swing machine swung bat horizontally and hit a ball floating in the air using wind pressure. Three bats of different diameter (6.30 cm, 5.73 cm, and 5.32 cm) were used with 30 trials per bat. Three high-speed video cameras were used to record the movements of the bat and ball near the impact and compared the batted ball characteristics. As a result, bat diameter did not appear to have a significant effect on batted balls.

ISBS Proceedings Archive
This study investigated cardiac-locomotion synchronization (CLS) during indoor treadmill and outdoor free walking, examining its environmental differences and relationships with heart rate/gait rhythm variability. Twelve participants used wearable ECG and accelerometer sensors for data collection during self-paced brisk walking. We analysed the last 10 minutes of stable walking, calculating mean period, coefficient of variation, and detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) slope α. CLS was quantified by the 'Sync rate', the temporal proportion of consistent gait cycle to R-R interval ratios. Results showed significantly higher Sync rates in outdoor walking. Outdoor gait rhythm fluctuation α tended to decrease with increased Sync rate. …

Assessing The Impact Reduction Capabilities Of Gamebreaker Softshell Headgear In Drop Tests, Annette G. Heward-Swale, George Stilwell, Nick Draper, Natalia Kabaliuk
ISBS Proceedings Archive
Softshell headgear is marketed to reduce head impact intensity in contact sports like rugby; however, evidence supporting this remains limited. This study investigated whether selected headgear models, GameBreaker-Pro, a novel GameBreaker-Prototype and a World Rugby (WR) Law 4 approved headgear, attenuate impact intensity under controlled drop test conditions. Peak linear acceleration (PLA), peak rotational acceleration (PRA), and peak rotational velocity (PRV) were measured on a Hybrid III headform fitted with this headgear. Drop tests were conducted from 15-60 cm at five head impact orientations. All headgear reduced impact kinematics relative to the bare headform. GameBreaker headgear achieved 14-22% greater reductions …

ISBS Proceedings Archive
This study investigated biomechanical differences of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint according to midsole materials (EVA, PEBA) and carbon plate insertion. Ten male runners performed overground running at 3.89 m/s (±5%) under four footwear conditions. Discrete outcome variables included active and critical stiffness (Kactive, Kcr), push-off time, peak propulsion force, and MTP power transition timing, while statistical nonparametric mapping (SnPM) was applied to joint power. PEBA without a plate did not provide a propulsion advantage but reduced energy loss and enabled more effective joint control than EVA. In contrast, the addition of a plate to EVA facilitated a faster roll-off with …

The Effect Of Changing Depth And Speed On Ground Reaction Forces During Squat, Ihsen M. Hamed, Hafiz H. Abdalla, Rony Ibrahim
ISBS Proceedings Archive
This study examined the combined effects of squat depth and speed on three-dimensional ground reaction force (GRF) patterns during bodyweight squats in 18 male participants. Imposed speed squats were about twice as fast as preferred speed, and peak knee flexion increased with depth: 99° (partial), 115° (half), and 130° (full). GRFs were measured with dual force plates and analyzed using one-dimensional statistical parametric mapping two-way repeated measures ANOVA. Slow-paced squats generated higher GRFs at the beginning and end of the movement, whereas fast tempo squats yielded a sharper vertical GRF during the bottom transition phase. Squat depth primarily affected horizontal …

Males and females exhibit comparable explosive relative to maximal strength. Given the greater proportion of type I fibres area in female muscles, motor units discharge rate (MUDR) in explosive efforts may be higher to compensate for slower contractile properties. To verify this, 22 females and 12 males (20-34 y), performed 10 rapid isometric ankle dorsiflexors, while recording high-density electromyography from tibialis anterior. Relative rate of torque development (RTD) measures (normalised to maximal torque) in the first 150 ms from contraction onset were not different (P > 0.07) between sexes, nor MUDR at the beginning of the explosive efforts (61 ± …
