Exploring Domestic Violence On Google Trends, Vanessa Garcia May 2017

Exploring Domestic Violence On Google Trends, Vanessa Garcia

OSR Journal of Student Research

Current headlines have brought a vast amount of attention to domestic violence. Violence against women has continuously been an issue but in the last few years it has brought individuals widespread curiosity to explore online search engines like Google. The source of this information was established by Google Trends, which is a part of Google that allows internet users to display the rate of recurrence of searches for a particular term or phrase.


The Public's Concern Over Abusive Relationships, Taylor Alexander May 2017

The Public's Concern Over Abusive Relationships, Taylor Alexander

OSR Journal of Student Research

This research was done due to the media’s overwhelming influence on the public. The increasing amount of stresses on the public, and the lack of healthy ways to release the stress can result in harm to the community. The purpose of this project was to see the pattern of abusive relationships between men and women. In order to discover those patterns, Google Trend searches were made using the key words abusive girlfriend and abusive boyfriend. After, doing the research it showed specific months that had a higher search rate than others. Some months repeated a higher search rate year after …


Real Time Data Analysis Of Clostridium Defficile And Echerichia Coli, Alexa Reyes May 2017

Real Time Data Analysis Of Clostridium Defficile And Echerichia Coli, Alexa Reyes

OSR Journal of Student Research

Background: Infectious diseases have not seized to exist for it has been found that microorganisms like Clostridium defficile and Escherichia coli bacteria are capable of mutating. As a result, antibiotic resistant novel strains, such Clostridium difficile (C.diff) that cause devastating new disease continue to pose a problem. An early detection tool for such emergent strains and the evaluation of the most highly impacted geographic locations is critical to mitigate the burden of such condition. Much of the literature, however, has shown that while archived data has little predictive nature as well as limited geographic analysis capabilities. On the other hand, …


Artificial Islands In The South China Sea, Aaron Holmes May 2017

Artificial Islands In The South China Sea, Aaron Holmes

OSR Journal of Student Research

The purpose of this study was to understand the value and implications of artificial islands constructed by the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the South China Sea. Qualitative analysis was used with the available literature, sources, and treaties of the topics concerned. The paper concludes that the PRC gains many benefits primarily within the realm of energy security and explores what effects they may


The Face That Launched A Thousand Ships: Helen Of Troy In The Poetry Of Atwood And Tufts, Alea Walstrom May 2017

The Face That Launched A Thousand Ships: Helen Of Troy In The Poetry Of Atwood And Tufts, Alea Walstrom

OSR Journal of Student Research

This paper considers the transformation of Greek myth over time, how character’s attributes change over time, and ultimately how contemporary poets employ these myths. The myth of focus in the paper is that of Helen of Troy and the depiction of her character throughout the many years and variations of the myth. Her character is then considered in the contemporary feminist poetry of Carol Tufts and Margaret Atwood.

The Effects Of Serum Starvation On Cell Cycle Synchronization, Negin Baghdadchi Feb 2017

The Effects Of Serum Starvation On Cell Cycle Synchronization, Negin Baghdadchi

OSR Journal of Student Research

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) provide a valuable model for studying organogenesis and recapitulating human diseases. Notably, genetic modification techniques can be harnessed to realize potential of these cells. hPSC display the features of indefinite self-renewal and the potential to differentiate into three germ layers, which holds great promise for regenerative medicine and human disease research. Genetic manipulation continues to be a powerful to study the properties of hPSC. Despite current advances in optimization of transfection procedures, genetic manipulation of hPSC remains a capricious process. On the other hand, controlled differentiation also yielded a variable and unpredictable efficiency in different …


Fiducial-Free Alignment Verification Techniques For Intracranial Radiosurgery, Kenneth Williams Feb 2017

Fiducial-Free Alignment Verification Techniques For Intracranial Radiosurgery, Kenneth Williams

OSR Journal of Student Research

The current process of intracranial radiosurgery treatment uses implanted titanium fiducials in the skull to assist in alignment of the patient. These fiducials add an element of physical and emotional stress to the patient, and scheduling the implantation procedures adds a delay of a few extra days before the radiosurgery procedure can begin. During the radiosurgery treatment, each proton beam is manually aligned by the therapist/physician with X-ray images and the fiducials that are visible on these images. This method of alignment can be time-intensive and requires personnel who are specifically trained in patient alignment. We propose a new method …
