A Comprehensive Review Of Covid-19: Associated Endocrine Manifestations, Saif Khan Md, Maryam Karim Mbbs, Vasu Gupta, Heenam Goel Md, Rohit Jain Md

Articles

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has played a significant part in systematic damage, affecting lives and leading to significant mortality. The endocrine system is one of the systems affected by this pandemic outbreak. The relationship between them has been identified in previous and ongoing research. The mechanism through which severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) can achieve this is similar to that for organs that express angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors, which is the primary binding site of the virus. Endocrine cells widely express angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors and transmembrane serine protease 2, the primary mediators initiating the acute phase of the disease. …

An Analysis Of Galactic Supernova Remnant G340.6+0.3, Walker Hartman, Thomas Pannuti Apr 2023

An Analysis Of Galactic Supernova Remnant G340.6+0.3, Walker Hartman, Thomas Pannuti

2023 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Pointed observations of Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) as conducted at multiple wavelengths and with leading observatories (such as the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Spitzer Space Telescope) have revealed many new insights into both SNRs themselves and the interstellar medium (ISM) with which these sources are interacting. We are currently investigating the multi-wavelength (chiefly X-ray and radio) properties of poorly studied SNRs that have been readily detected in the infrared to help improve understanding of how SNRs and their surrounding ISM interplay. to demonstrate this, we present an analysis of an archival pointed observation of the Galactic SNR G340.6+0.3 with …

S.P.A.R.C.S.- Solar Panel Acoustic Resonance Cleaning System, Jeff Kruth, Mike Combs

2023 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

As the world races towards the future of clean energy, solar panels are becoming common place. One of the largest problems faced is accumulated dirt and dust on the surface of these solar panels. Panels become covered in dirt and debris and no longer provide efficient output of solar energy. This problem is faced on earth and beyond the stars. For years, NASA has been trying to solve the issue of “dust” from mars or the moon settling on solar panels, lenses, and other surfaces. The regolith threatens the potential of human existence on the surface of the moon. The …

Preliminary Tropical Fungal Palynology Of Early-Middle Miocene Sediments From Northwestern Peru, Jeremyah Cabrera, Christopher Marsh, Liberty Smallwood, Ollie Vanderepst, Ingrid Romero, Noelia Nuñez Otaño, Diana Ochoa, Jen O’Keefe Apr 2023

Preliminary Tropical Fungal Palynology Of Early-Middle Miocene Sediments From Northwestern Peru, Jeremyah Cabrera, Christopher Marsh, Liberty Smallwood, Ollie Vanderepst, Ingrid Romero, Noelia Nuñez Otaño, Diana Ochoa, Jen O’Keefe

2023 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Fungal communities are a vital part of terrestrial ecosystem functions and understanding how they respond to climate change is necessary for predicting future assemblage dynamics. Sediments deposited during the Miocene Climate Optimum (MCO), 18-13 million years ago, provide an opportunity to examine fungal responses to a warming event with CO2 values similar to those today. Few fungal datasets exist for tropical regions during the MCO, and only one uses modern methods to identify fossil fungi and complete paleoecological inferences and paleoclimatological reconstructions using the nearest living relative method.

Building For The Exchange, Maddie Dodrill, Brittany Graziani, Alexa Deaton, Abigail Cooper, Gabe Barcus, Janet Ratliff

2023 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Our project, “Building for the Exchange,” is trying to solve a problem that has been progressing for nearly a century. Modern development practices have changed the small business landscape in Morehead. It was once a vibrant downtown core with neighborhoods built around it. A surge in population over the last 70 years has caused businesses to spread across the community. The downtown has been left with empty storefronts, struggling to keep viable businesses. To try to solve this problem, our class was split into four groups and we were tasked to create business plans to fill vacant spaces in the …

Repressor Of The Sos Response Mechanism In Acinetobacter Baumannii Requires Helix-Formation And Dimerization For Its Dna-Binding Ability, Belinda Candra, Deborah Cook, Jenelle Hare Apr 2023

Repressor Of The Sos Response Mechanism In Acinetobacter Baumannii Requires Helix-Formation And Dimerization For Its Dna-Binding Ability, Belinda Candra, Deborah Cook, Jenelle Hare

2023 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

After DNA damage, the multi-drug resistant pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii activates its SOS response, possibly allowing mutagenesis to occur by inducing multiple errorprone polymerases. A. baumannii uses the non-canonical repressor protein UmuDAb to repress operons of these polymerases. It has an N-terminal domain (NTD) with 2 helices (HTH1 & HTH2) whose sequences are needed for repression1. Like other bacterial SOS repressors such as LexA, UmuDAb dimerizes. BACTH analyses2 showed that UmuDAb forms dimers via its LexA-like G124 residue and UmuD-like N100 residue (UmuD is a component of an error-prone polymerase). However, N100 is not needed if the C termini are free. …

A Brief History Of Environmental Policy Through Literature, Nathan Walden, Brady Lawson, Adam Abdel-Rahman, Mathew Delancey, Douglas Mock Apr 2023

A Brief History Of Environmental Policy Through Literature, Nathan Walden, Brady Lawson, Adam Abdel-Rahman, Mathew Delancey, Douglas Mock

2023 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Environmental policy is a relative newcomer on the scene of federal regulation, with cries for a unified federal environmental response ignited by the publication of Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson in 1962 which exposed the new field of environmental science and its effects to the American public. However, the tradition of literature driving public awareness and federal policymaking does not stop at its genesis with many seminal works such as Collapse, by Jared Diamond, The Diversity of Life, by Edward O. Wilson, and Love Canal, by Richard Newman, continuing to do the same. These books have continued to …

Fundamental Or Negligible?: Kentucky P-12 Teacher Websites, Maddie Stamper, Lesia Lennix Apr 2023

Fundamental Or Negligible?: Kentucky P-12 Teacher Websites, Maddie Stamper, Lesia Lennix

2023 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

How does a P-12 classroom teacher communicate at large with their students or their parents? There are countless ways for teachers to communicate with others. We determined that the more effective route in teacher communication would be an access-key-based Google Classroom, or an open-access teacher website linked directly to their respective school's website. An available, published teacher website allows anyone with internet access to view teacher-proffered information. This information could include their name, email, phone number, short biography, picture, or Google Classroom link. We found that the most effective information to include on a teacher's website would be their name, …
