I Would Go Back And Conquer This All Over Again, Kelly Nguyen

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

The case study analyzes work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) through the experiences of an Air Force Security Forces officer. The subject operated in various high-intensity environments and sustained multiple injuries over an eight-year military career. Daily tasks involved strenuous physical activity, weapon handling, and long, demanding shifts. Using tools like the Moore-Garg Strain Index and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment, the study evaluates the ergonomic risks that contributed to the subject’s chronic pain. These activities resulted in significant pain, particularly in the back, hands, and neck, with ongoing issues worsened by awkward postures and repetitive motions. The recommendations focus on ergonomic tools …

Exploring Exoplanets: Analysis Of Nasa’S Exotic Data, Kylie Boyer, Anthony Raduazzo, Cole Gresham, Gideon Noonan, Richie Thayer-Sapp, Jarrett Usui, Ginevra Mazzini, Anayah Smith, Ahnika Gee, Conner Callahan

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Exoplanet research has expanded rapidly, with 5,780 exoplanets confirmed and 7,241 candidates under investigation as of October 2024. While space-based missions are essential for detecting exoplanets, ground-based observations are critical for confirming these findings through extended star monitoring. To facilitate this, NASA offers the EXOplanet Transit Interpretation Code (EXOTIC), a tool accessible to researchers at all experience levels. Using multi-aperture photometry on data from the MicroObservatory telescopes, we analyze light curves for periodic flux dips, which may indicate a transiting exoplanet. Currently, our team is focused on analyzing NASA-provided data, with plans to extend our collaboration with the Museum of …

Chemistry Of Metalloguanines: An Overview Of Their Synthesis Routes And Their Implementations For The Period 2000-2024, Farah Saadoon Jaafar, Mahasin F. Alias

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Guanine has a variety of roles in chemistry, from its basic function in the storing and transferring genetic information to its usages in synthetic chemistry and other fields. Because of its distinct structure and biological importance, it is a fundamental component of contemporary study in organic chemistry and molecular biology.

In this review, we focused on covering the synthetic pathways of various derivatives of guanine from the year 2000 until the present. As a result of the guanine molecule containing multiple functional groups, this gives us the ability to prepare several guanines such as O⁶-alkylating guanines, O^{6 …}

Fos Expression In The Periaqueductal Gray, But Not The Ventromedial Hypothalamus, Is Correlated With Psychosocial Stress-Induced Cocaine-Seeking Behavior In Rats, Nicole M Hinds, Ireneusz D Wojtas, Desta M Pulley, Stephany J Mcdonald, Colton D Spencer, Milena Sudarikov, Nicole E Hubbard, Colin M Kulick-Soper, Samantha De Guzman, Sara Hayden, Jessica J Debski, Bianca Patel, Douglas P Fox, Daniel F Manvich

Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine Departmental Research

Psychosocial stressors are known to promote cocaine craving and relapse in humans but are infrequently employed in preclinical relapse models. Consequently, the underlying neural circuitry by which these stressors drive cocaine seeking has not been thoroughly explored. Using Fos expression analyses, we sought to examine whether the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) or periaqueductal gray (PAG), two critical components of the brain's hypothalamic defense system, are activated during psychosocial stress-induced cocaine seeking. Adult male and female rats self-administered cocaine (0.5 mg/kg/inf IV, fixed-ratio 1 schedule, 2 h/session) over 20 sessions. On sessions 11, 14, 17, and 20, a tactile cue was present …

From Africa To Appalachia: The Tie That Binds, The Reece Museum, East Tennessee State University

The Reece Museum Exhibition Publications

The Reece Museum is home to a communal collection of artifacts that help us remember and retell stories that are important to our identities as a community. The objects we choose to collect, display, and research act as historical documents that form the foundation of the lore that comprises our living narratives, which are “ever evolving, out of the stories of our most recent ancestors” (Bastet and Houlbrook 2023, 188). The movement of collections from personal stories and belongings into collective and institutional artifacts is something I spend a lot of time thinking about.

I learned to enjoy collecting from …

Neuromuscular Response To High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude Spinal Manipulation—An Overview, Murdi Alanazi, Brian Degenhardt Do, Gwyn Kelley-Franklin, James Cox Do, Laura Lipke, William Reed Do

Library Scholarship

The clinical use of spinal manipulation to treat musculoskeletal conditions has nearly tripled in the United States since 1980, and it is currently recommended by most global clinical guidelines as a conservative treatment for musculoskeletal pain, despite a lack of knowledge concerning its mechanisms of action. This overview highlights evidence of direct neuromuscular responses to high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulation (HVLA-SM) as delivered by chiropractic, osteopathic, and physical therapy clinicians, with an intent to foster greater interprofessional dialogue and collaborative research to better address current gaps in mechanistic knowledge of the neuromuscular response to HVLA-SM. Three databases (PubMed, CINAHL Ultimate (EBSCO), …

Climate Influence On Both Spatial And Temporal Patterns Of Rocky Intertidal Community Structure In San Diego, California, Emily Jenkins

Theses

The rocky intertidal ecosystem, the coastal area between high and low tides, serves as a critical buffer between land and sea. This ecosystem supports a diverse array of species and provides rich opportunities for exploration and education. With the influence of climate change, this ecosystem faces significant shifts in species distribution, resilience and recovery from environmental disturbances, as well as habitat loss (Jackson & McIlvenny 2011; Jueterbock et al. 2013; Menge & Gravem 2022; Rilov et al. 2021; Sagarin & Barry 1999).

Seeing Through Solid Words: Using Gebser’S Concept Of Transparency To Understand A Gnostic Poem Expressing Integral Consciousness, Lisa Maroski

Journal of Conscious Evolution

It is difficult to express integral consciousness using ordinary language because of the inherent tendency of language to separate and distinguish. Jean Gebser, in The Ever-Present Origin, suggested concepts such as transparency and diaphaneity as ways to access integral consciousness, and the Gnostic text The Thunder, Perfect Mind (TPM) is written from the perspective of a being with integral consciousness. I use Jean Gebser’s concepts of transparency and diaphaneity to explicate TPM, an enigmatic, paradoxical poem in the Nag Hammadi Library. Because TPM is written from the perspective of an integral being, one who is All-of-It (i.e., paradoxical completeness rather …

The Effects Of Group-Based Exercise On Physical Health And Participation In Individuals With Developmental Disabilities, Hallie Wallace

Doctorate in Kinesiology

Individuals with intellectual disabilities experience barriers for optimal physical health and participation. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a group-based exercise intervention on physical health and participation in individuals with developmental disabilities. Thirty individuals 18-65 were randomly selected based on specific inclusion criteria to participate with 15 subjects in a control and intervention group. A questionnaire assessing participation constraints as well as pre and post body composition measurements were implemented before and after an eight-week group-based exercise program. A paired sample t-test demonstrated no significant differences in pre and post measures for weight, skeletal muscle …

Bringing Matter, To Matter: ‘Wild Ideas’ About ‘Readiness’ In The Transition From The Early Years Foundation Stage To The Key Stage 1 National Curriculum In England, Katherine Evans

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

‘Readiness’ and transition are topics of ongoing debate in relation to early childhood education. Critiques of schoolification and the impact of a ‘school-readiness’ agenda on policy and practice point to a tendency for increased formalisation of learning as children progress through their early years of schooling. In England, these first years of school-based education involve a transition between different and distinct educational frameworks, from the Early Years Foundation Stage to the National Curriculum in Key Stage 1. This transition can be problematic as tensions emerge between different pedagogical traditions, thus creating a potentially challenging experience for children as they progress …

Biostatistics Faculty Publications

Introduction: Managing clinical trials is a complex process requiring careful integration of human, technology, compliance, and operations for success. We collaborated with experts to develop a multi-axial Clinical Trials Management Ecosystem (CTME) maturity model (MM) to help institutions identify best practices for CTME capabilities. Methods: A working group of research informaticists was established. An online session on maturity models was hosted, followed by a review of the candidate domain axes and finalization of the axes. Next, maturity level attributes were defined for min/max levels (level 1 and level 5) for each axis of the CTME MM, followed by the intermediate …

Tree-Equity And Environmental Justice Discourses Among Urban Forestry Professionals In Portland: Current Impacts And Future Implications, Axcelle Deone Bell

Dissertations and Theses

Urban tree equity is critical for addressing environmental justice and mitigating the effects of climate change in cities. This study investigates how professionals in Portland's urban forestry sector conceptualize and implement tree equity, focusing on equity and justice discourses. Through 27 semi-structured interviews with 29 professionals from government agencies and NGOs, I examine how these discourses shape decisions regarding tree planting, distribution, and maintenance, particularly in underserved communities. The analysis draws on political ecology, systems dynamics, and structuration theory to explore the systemic barriers perpetuating inequities in tree canopy distribution. The findings reveal tensions between different approaches to equity, such …

Forest Fires Increase Mid-Winter Snowmelt In The Western Oregon Cascades, Sage Ebel

Dissertations and Theses

As the spatiotemporal overlap between burned forests, seasonal snow, extreme precipitation, and mid-winter warming continues to increase with climate change, it is critical we quantify the impacts of forest fires and rain-on-snow (ROS) on mid-winter snowmelt and snow-water resources. In the Pacific Northwest, the release of large volumes of meltwater to downstream receiving water from already vulnerable snowpacks can have catastrophic consequences. I show that forest fires doubled mid-winter snowmelt proportions as compared to unburned reference sites, using a novel network of snow monitoring and micrometeorological stations installed across an elevational and forest type gradient in a burned watershed in …

Optimal Reconstruction Of The Hellings And Downs Correlation, Bruce Allen, Joseph D. Romano

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) detect gravitational waves (GWs) via the correlations they create in the arrival times of pulses from different pulsars. The mean correlation, a function of the angle between the directions to two pulsars, was predicted in 1983 by Hellings and Downs (HD). Observation of this angular pattern is crucial evidence that GWs are present, so PTAs “reconstruct the HD curve” by estimating the correlation using pulsar pairs separated by similar angles. Several studies have examined the amount by which this curve is expected to differ from the HD mean. The variance arises because (a) a finite set …
