Cryoablation To Treat Cancer Utilizing Computed Tomography Guidance, Mia D. Ruckle

Student Research Poster Presentations 2026

This research examines the effectiveness of cryoablation, a minimally invasive treatment for tumor destruction. Cryoablation works by using freezing temperatures to the targeted tissues, leading to cell damage and eventually cell death. It is being utilized more frequently to treat various cancers, such as: liver, lung, breast, renal, and prostate. This research analyzes current literature and experimental findings to evaluate how cryoablation contributes to improved treatment outcomes and reduced damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Cryoablation offers several advantages over traditional treatment options including, reduced recovery time, lower complication rates, and the ability to precisely target tumors. Imaging guidance through computed …

Numerical Simulation And Analysis Of Lid Driven Cavity Flow And Flow Around A Cylinder, Liberty Ammamoo Mr, Mohammad Uddin Dr

ASPIRE 2026

This paper explores a computational investigation of two classical fluid dynamics problems-lid driven cavity flow and flow around a cylinder- simulated at varying Reynolds numbers using Ansys Fluent (AF) and OpenFOAM (OF).The primary goal is to reproduce and compare the physical flow behavior observed in both solvers under matched boundary conditions, mesh configurations, and fluid properties, rather than to compare solver performance. Simulations for a square cavity case at Reynolds number of 10,100,10000, and for the flow around a cylinder case at Reynolds number of 180 were produced. The results capture key flow features including primary vortex formation, vortex shifting …

Building Healthy Parent-Adolescent Relationships Within A Religious Context, Brooklyn Williams

ASPIRE 2026

Religion has been founded to be a protective factor for adolescence consistently in research.  During the project, a family life education program was developed and implemented based on the population needs.

Low Energy Availability (Lea) And Its Relationship To Nutritional Status And Bone Health In Collegiate Athletes, Anthony Dempsey

UNH URC Open (2026 and after)

This project aims to identify low energy availability in a sample of collegiate athletes and explore the relationship with bone mineral density and nutrient deficiencies. Participants (n=3,407) were recruited from a northeast university and self-reported athlete status and physical activity via online questionnaire. Food records were used to calculate energy and nutrient intake. Anthropometrics including height, weight, body composition and bone mineral status were measured in duplicate. Energy availability (EA) was calculated as (Energy Intake (EI) -Exercising Energy Expenditure) (EEE)) /Fat Free Mass (FFM) (kg) and categorized as optimal (>45 kcal/kg FFM), subclinical, or clinically low (< 30 kcal/kg FFM). Fifteen percent of participants were characterized as athletes (club or division I varsity); mean EA was lower among athletes vs. nonathletes (17.90.7vs.21.90.3, p< .001). Males were more likely to have optimal EA status vs. females (8.8vs4.7%, p< .001). Most females (75.1%) were categorized as clinically LEA; 20.3% had subclinical LEA. Among men, athletes’ EA was similar to nonathletes (21.11.2vs22.20.5, p=.4); among females, athletes had lower EA vs. nonathletes (16.220.9vs21.70.3, p< .001). Males with clinically low EA were most likely to consume inadequate intakes of potassium, fiber, iron, and vitamin D (77.1,94.0,10.4 and 97.3%, respectively); similarly, females with clinically low EA, were most likely to consume inadequate intakes (81.9,87.6,88.3, and 99.5%, respectively). Bone z-scores were higher among athletes vs. non athletes (-.27±.06vs-.67±.02, p< .001) but were not different by EA status. Given the prevalence of LEA within the college athlete and nonathlete populations, further research and tailored nutritional education is needed for this at-risk population.

Your Healthcare Rights & Resources In Ice Detention: A Bilingual (English-Spanish) Resource For Detained People, Vineeth R. Vaidyula B.S.*, Shivani Kulkarni B.A.*, Jai Mehrotra-Varma B.S.*, Elizabeth R. Kolod M.D., M.P.H.

AUCTUS: The Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Scholarship

This resource provides a concise, practical overview of healthcare rights and medical access for people held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention. It outlines basic health, dental, mental health, and reproductive care rights; expected medical processes during the initial period of detention; and common barriers such as delayed care, limited access to specialists, and language challenges. The guide also offers strategies for self-advocacy and documentation, including tracking medications, medical encounters, and requests for care, and identifies legal and advocacy resources for additional support. Designed for use by detained individuals and their advocates, this resource aims to promote informed …

Role Of The Impella Device In Cardiac Catheterization, Madison Adams

Student Research Poster Presentations 2026

The Impella device is a form of temporary mechanical circulatory support increasingly used in the cardiac catheterization lab to assist patients undergoing high-risk procedures or experiencing severe cardiac dysfunction. This project explores how the Impella functions, when it is to be used, and the role of the radiologic technologist in supporting these procedures. The device is inserted percutaneously, most commonly through the femoral artery, and works by drawing blood from the left ventricle and expelling it into the ascending aorta. Therefore, the device is improving cardiac output and reducing the myocardial workload in total. Careful patient selection, monitoring, and management …

Laila: A Doll Memoir Of 1947 Partition Of India And Pakistan, Maleeha Malik, Maleeha Fatima Malik

Children's Literature (MFA) Theses

This abstract examines a creative and critical work centered on the 1947 Partition of India, which displaced approximately fourteen million people and caused one million deaths. The narrative introduces Laila, an anthropomorphized doll who functions as both witness and archive, embodying the memories and traumas of multiple child survivors. Through Laila’s journey across India, Pakistan, and the diaspora, the text explores themes of identity, belonging, loss, and intergenerational memory.

Blending personal family history with historical analysis, the author situates Laila within lived experiences of migration, silence, and religious marginalization, particularly as part of the Ahmadi Muslim community. The narrative foregrounds …

Brightness And Distance Of The Stars: Phone And Phyphox, Larry Browning, Kay Cutler

Astronomy Activities

How bright a star appears to an observer on earth and what color or colors make up its light can tell a lot about a star. The brightness offers a clue to how far away a star is. The color indicates how hot the star is. Together they may suggest the size of a star. Examining the details of the star light with a spectroscope shows the various colors that come from the star and indicates the very specific colors that are muted or missing, as well as those that are brighter than expected (absorption and emission spectra). This gives …

Teacher's Use Of Google Classroom, David Hodgin

CGU Theses & Dissertations

This dissertation investigates the teachers’ use of features in Google Classroom and the factors influencing their integration, using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical framework. Learning management systems like Google Classroom are commonplace in modern classrooms. A significant gap remains in understanding whether educators move beyond basic administrative functions to use features that support higher-order pedagogical goals, such as collaboration and differentiation. This study used a quantitative-based survey that sampled pre-pandemic K-12 educators, which examined external variables such as demographic, professional, training, and technology use, along with TAM constructs – perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, …
