Detection Of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals At The North Haven Water Pollution Control Facility On The Quinnipiac River, Kacey Daly

Honors Theses

The presence of estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) was detected using vacuum filtration and solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by methods measured through chemical analysis. This research aims to quantify the presence of estrogenic EDCs in the Quinnipiac River located in Connecticut. Samples from influent, effluent, and downstream river locations from a Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) in North Haven, Connecticut are tested for the presence of estrone and 17α-ethinylestradiol. Findings from the study will provide insight to improve treatment efficiency of EDCs in WPCFs.

Unraveling The Hidden Complexity Of Cancer Through Long-Read Sequencing, Michal B Izydorczyk, Winston Timp, Fritz J Sedlazeck, Alison P Klein, Justin M Zook, Mikhail Kolmogorov, Michael C Schatz

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Cancer is fundamentally a disease of the genome, characterized by extensive genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic alterations. Most current studies predominantly use short-read sequencing, gene panels, or microarrays to explore these alterations; however, these technologies can systematically miss or misrepresent certain types of alterations, especially structural variants, complex rearrangements, and alterations within repetitive regions. Long-read sequencing is rapidly emerging as a transformative technology for cancer research by providing a comprehensive view across the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome, including the ability to detect alterations that previous technologies have overlooked. In this Perspective, we explore the current applications of long-read sequencing for both …

Diagnosis And Management Of Esophageal Perforation With Necrotizing Fasciitis In Traumatic Cervical Spine Injuries: Illustrative Case, Alexander Brenner, Nelson Eddie Liou, Alexander E Ropper, Cyrus King

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: Esophageal perforation is a rare but deadly complication of cervical spine fractures. Early identification can be difficult but is imperative for proper treatment and prevention of life-threatening infection. Once diagnosed, surgical drainage and broad-spectrum antibiotics can yield positive outcomes. The authors present a successfully managed case of cervical spine fracture with associated esophageal perforation and necrotizing fasciitis as well as an extensive literature review.

Observations: An 87-year-old male with a previous cervical laminectomy presented to the emergency department with shortness of breath after a ground-level fall. Initial CT imaging of the cervical spine was noted to have no abnormalities …

Intelligent Call Transfer Between Computing Devices, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure presents a method for intelligent call transfer between computing devices (e.g., a PC and a phone). The system detects specific conditions such as low battery levels on either device, user mobility (e.g., locking the PC to leave), or varying network connectivity quality. Upon detection, the system prompts the user to transfer the ongoing call to the more suitable device, ensuring uninterrupted communication. This solution addresses common issues such as delays in connectivity and meeting disruptions, providing a seamless transition between devices during conferencing. Some of the main problems addressed are delays in connectivity, delays in meeting, reduce interruptions …

Colonial Legacies And Gender Equality: A Study Of Women’S Rights In Angola & Namibia, Anna E. Stephens

Global Tides

Angola and Namibia, neighboring countries in southwestern Africa, share a history of colonial exploitation and rich natural resources, yet diverge sharply in their post-independence trajectories concerning gender equality. This paper employs the method of difference to investigate how Namibia emerged as a continental and global leader in advancing women’s rights, while Angola continues to face significant challenges. It argues that Namibia’s inclusive liberation movement and peaceful, UN-brokered decolonization contrast with Angola’s prolonged and violent colonial legacy under Portugal, which culminated in a devastating civil war. The paper also considers how Namibia’s smaller population may have fostered greater unity and gender …
