Ur-390 Bactifind: A Novel Cnn-Based Framework To Classify Bacterial Species, Lowhorn Ryan, Cardwell Zac Apr 2023

Ur-390 Bactifind: A Novel Cnn-Based Framework To Classify Bacterial Species, Lowhorn Ryan, Cardwell Zac

C-Day Computing Showcase

Abstract—Bacterial species identification is an essential step in diagnosing diseases caused by bacterial attacks. Effective prescription to cure these diseases depends on accurate bacterial species identification. Faster identification along with accuracy is essential because some bacteria grow fast in the human body. However, bacterial species classification using a laboratory environment through traditional approaches is time-consuming, and it depends on human expertise, which is not immune to human error. Well-trained and experienced microbiologists demonstrate the probability of preparing bacterial species identification reports with lower error rates. However, hiring experienced microbiologists is expensive. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based automatic bacterial species classification system …

Is The End Just The Beginning? Nil Changes And The New World Of Intercollegiate Athletics, Jordan Allen Apr 2023

Is The End Just The Beginning? Nil Changes And The New World Of Intercollegiate Athletics, Jordan Allen

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

Since the beginning of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (“NCAA”) formation, student-athletes have been prohibited from profiting off their name, image, and likeness (“NIL”). After years of lawsuits, the United States Supreme Court narrowly sided with student-athletes in _NCAA v. Alston_, holding that the NCAA violated the law by limiting the education-related benefits that schools could offer to student-athletes. While this holding was important, the most significant aspect of this opinion derives from Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurrence, which stated that the NCAA is not above the law. The release of this opinion created a ripple effect in which many states …
